Chapter 57 The woman he had loved for many years was leaving him

Meng Yan almost laughed out of anger.

She was sleeping in Changchun Palace with Doukou in her arms, but she felt uneasy.

When the spies came back with information that Concubine Xuanhe had broken into the Yangxin Palace at night and forced the emperor to go to the Yongshou Palace, she felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly got dressed and put on makeup, and took a sedan chair to come over.

This old concubine was Lin Yanrong's aunt, so naturally she had a grudge against her in her previous life.

According to the plot of the book, Concubine Xuanhe had saved the emperor's life, and Lu Haozhi treated her with filial piety and respect. Besides the Empress Dowager, she was the only elder in the harem.

It was understandable that Lin Yanrong came out after such a bad thing happened to her, but it was hard to say what she would do in front of the emperor.

As expected, as soon as she walked outside the main hall of Yongshou Palace, she heard Liang Chengbi making up stories inside, and the stories he made were very exciting.

It seems that the plot still has no intention of letting her go, and all kinds of shit and urine pots can be put on her head in a roundabout way.

Although she just wants to live a quiet life, she will not retreat when things hit her head.

Doukou, Baiyuxin, Ruizhu, Yunxiang and a large number of people in Changchun Palace all rely on her protection.

Liang Chengbi felt uneasy when she stared at him, and couldn't help but turn his face away.

"In front of the Emperor, my sister is still so fond of joking..."

"How can I be as funny as the Imperial Noble Consort? You've made up such a story that is not true. I really don't know what good thing I gave to Concubine Lin that could prevent her from even sleeping with you."

Meng Yan stared at Liang Chengbi and kept chasing her, "I really don't know how I offended the Imperial Concubine. How dare you make up such a story and frame me like this?!"

Liang Chengbi's gentle face couldn't help but twist a little.

Her usual trick was to be hypocritical and artificial in front of others, and to be two-faced and stir up trouble behind their backs. After being confronted by Meng Yan in such a direct manner, she was at a loss for a moment.

"Noble Consort Meng, the Imperial Noble Consort is only in charge of palace affairs. As the Imperial Noble Consort, she naturally has the responsibility of managing the six palaces. Of course, we must understand the mystery of Concubine Lin's sudden illness. You are wronging the Imperial Noble Consort by accusing her of wronging you."

Seeing Liang Chengbi speechless after being questioned by Meng Yan, Concubine Xuanhe couldn't help but speak out to help him.

"So, in order to manage the six palaces and find the truth for Concubine Lin, the Imperial Noble Concubine could make up stories and wrongly accuse me. By arguing for me, I was wronging her. The Imperial Concubine's words are truly biased."

Meng Yan spoke these words extremely harshly, without considering the face of Concubine Xuanhe, her elder.

Tonight, she was really angry.

This matter, which has nothing to do with her at all, was actually pinned on her.

Even if she is a supporting actress, so what?

Does it mean that because she is a supporting actress, she deserves to be wrongly accused and bullied?

What a bullshit!

Concubine Xuanhe was confronted by her and her face immediately turned red. She shouted sternly, "Concubine Meng, are you talking to me?! I am..."

"I know you are the Empress Dowager Xuanhe, bestowed upon me by the Emperor, and I respectfully address you as 'Empress Dowager'. However, as an elder, you should be fair in your words and actions. I find it difficult to accept your indiscriminate reprimand."

Meng Yan's gaze moved from Liang Chengbi's face to Concubine Xuanhe. She looked at this middle-aged woman who still had charm. She was so angry that she was shaking like a leaf in the wind.

She knew that these words had greatly offended the old concubine, but since they were the first to attack and tried every means to kill her, why should she be polite?

Perhaps it was because she had been keeping a low profile recently that these people forgot what kind of temper Concubine Meng had, so they dared to make such an unnecessary joke.

Tonight, she must let everyone in the palace know that she, Meng Yan, is not a weak person who can be bullied, and Changchun Palace is not a place that can be trampled on at will!

"you!"

Concubine Xuanhe pointed at Meng Yan, but her fingers trembled and her blood rushed to her head.

Ever since she became the Dowager Concubine, none of the younger ones in the harem dared to speak to her like this!

"Your Majesty, this is the concubine you have pampered!"

Seeing that she could not subdue Meng Yan, Concubine Xuanhe simply accused Lu Haozhi of disrespecting her elders and reversing the moral principles.

Lu Haozhi did not respond. He looked at Meng Yan, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his almond-shaped eyes were filled with obscure and complex thoughts.

Meng Yan tonight was very different from usual. She stood under the lamp, her dark eyes shining like two pieces of burning black jade, showing her anger.

Although she had been sometimes arrogant and domineering in the past, she had never been as blunt and aggressive as she was today. It was as if all her rage had been poured out tonight.

Although what happened tonight was absurd, there have always been many such disputes in the palace. She is not an ignorant girl, so how could she be so angry?

Besides, since she came in, she had only been trying to defend herself without even looking at him.

It seemed as if he was not important to her, and she didn't want to see him unless it was necessary.

As soon as this thought emerged from the bottom of his heart, Lu Haozhi felt a little panicked.

The bright and beautiful woman in front of him, the woman he had doted on for many years, seemed to be moving away from him step by step.

"Noble Concubine."

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words, so he just called her in the end.

The indifferent tone and two simple words already hinted at the emperor's displeasure.

Meng Yan lowered her eyes slightly, curled her red lips, and pulled out a cold smile.

Such rude behavior of contradicting the concubine would certainly displease the Emperor of the Great Zhou, but she didn't care.

He could punish her for being unfilial and disobedient. She, Meng Yan, had always been brave enough to take responsibility for her actions, but he couldn't hold her responsible for something she had never done!

"Your Majesty, please do not rush to accuse me. First, let me know clearly what happened tonight. Whether you want to be confined to your house or demoted, I am willing to accept it."

Meng Yan's voice was clear and resounding, which shocked Concubine Xuanhe, Liang Chengbi and others.

Lu Haozhi was silent at first, then said after a moment, "Ask."

Just having him say this is enough.

She didn't dare expect that the emperor, the male protagonist, would believe her right away.

Meng Yan walked up to Yin Qiao, looked down at her, and asked calmly, "You just said that this facial cream was obtained from the Imperial Hospital and was ordered by your mistress? How did she know such a thing existed that she could ask for it by name?"

Yinqiao knelt on the ground with her head lowered, not daring to look at her at all. However, her eyes were rolling in her sockets, and she was obviously thinking of something.

"This servant, this servant, obeyed the young lady's orders... But the young lady also heard that the ladies in the palace used good facial cream, so in order to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, she sent this servant to ask for it..."

"Oh, this sentence is so important, why didn't you mention it just now?"
