Chapter 75: Thunder and Rain, Is It Heaven's Grace?

Perhaps it was because she had been working so hard to prepare medicine for her brother's injuries during this period of time, and finally stimulated his spiritual veins again, Meng Yan was exhausted and always slept very soundly at night.

So she knew nothing about these things.

When she woke up the next day, the harem was in an uproar and everyone was talking about the situation.

The emperor has not entered the harem for some time. Although he did not stay overnight last night, he entered Changchun Palace in the middle of the night. The meaning was obvious.

On the other hand, Liu's attempt to curry favor in the Yangxin Palace failed and she ended up in trouble. The mastermind Liang was demoted to Concubine Liang, which further highlighted the emperor's great favor for the Changchun Palace.

All the rumors in the harem about Concubine Meng falling out of favor were now proven false.

Changchun Palace once again became a hot place. Whether it was the old people in the palace in the past or the newly selected ladies, they all rushed to Changchun Palace in droves.

What does the Imperial Concubine like to eat? I have it in the Imperial Concubine Palace!

Does the Imperial Concubine love to wear sachets? I can do it!

Changchun Palace was always crowded with people, from morning to night, there was never a moment of leisure.

Meng Yan was exhausted from dealing with it, and even secretly suspected in her heart whether Lu Haozhi had thought of a new way to mess with her.

Meng Yan finally had some free time in the afternoon and sat on the corridor, holding a sachet, lost in thought.

The base is royal blue satin, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and a plum blossom concentric chain hangs underneath.

Although the needlework is delicate, it is full of craftsmanship and you can tell at a glance that it is something produced by the Needlework Bureau.

What does Lu Haozhi mean?

He walked to Changchun Palace in the middle of the night and stuffed the sachet he carried with him under her pillow.

With such ambiguous behavior, it's no wonder that the whole palace misunderstood.

Could it be that Lu Haozhi felt that Liang Chengbi had ruined things and there was no one in the harem who could take the blame for Lin Yanrong, so he wanted to set up another target?

If that's the case, then who could be more suitable than her, Meng Yan.

Furthermore, according to the plot, even though Lin Yanrong entered the palace, Lu Haozhi's favor for her did not end immediately.

Otherwise, how could she have gotten pregnant in her previous life?

Thinking of the child she couldn't keep, Meng Yan felt a little upset.

The faint scent of ambergris on the sachet and the scent belonging to Lu Haozhi also made her a little confused.

"Sister, is this sachet left by the emperor?"

Bai Yuxin's sweet voice floated gently from behind, and she stepped forward, bringing with her a burst of sweet gardenia fragrance.

Meng Yan loves incense, but Bai Yuxin likes flowers and fruits of all seasons. Now that several pots of gardenias are blooming in the yard, she picked a few petals and hid them in her sleeves, and her whole body was filled with the pleasant fragrance of flowers.

"It was left by the emperor." Meng Yan didn't intend to hide it from her. "If it wasn't this thing, there wouldn't be these troubles."

"The Emperor still values ​​my sister. With such a big incident happening in the palace and the former court being busy with military affairs, he still came here at night."

Bai Yuxin smiled slightly, "I just heard the news from outsiders that Liu was banished to the cold palace by the emperor. All the eunuchs and palace maids who served in front of the emperor that day, starting with Li Lan, were sent to the Ministry of Punishment to do hard labor. Liang was also demoted by the emperor to Concubine Liang..."

Perhaps only Liu herself knows why she suffered such misfortune.

"That's just a consideration for the situation of the previous dynasty."

Meng Yan didn't want to hear this and blurted it out immediately, but seeing Bai Yuxin's stunned expression, she softened her tone and said, "The Emperor has his own judgment on who he wants to punish. As concubines, how can we randomly speculate on his will?"

Apart from the inexplicable display of favor towards her, she could more or less guess what Lu Haozhi's intention was in this game.

Liang Chengbi's biological father, Liang Benwu, had served two dynasties and was now serving as Prime Minister, the leader of a group of civil officials. He often relied on his seniority to bully others in the court, and all the other civil officials followed his lead, making him a powerful figure.

Lu Haozhi had long wanted to deal with this group of forces, but since he ascended the throne, he had been plagued by problems such as the regent, wars in the southwest, and floods. Even with his extraordinary talent, he could only deal with them one by one.

Now, demoting Liang Chengbi is just a move to start from the harem, as a way to unravel the mystery.

Meng Yan thought about these things, her heart as calm as water. She grew up in the Marquis' Mansion and married into the royal family when she grew up. She was already used to seeing these things.

However, Liang Chengbi did not suffer any misfortune because of her father in her previous life. Even when something happened in the Liang Mansion later, it was because of Lin Yanrong's plea that Lu Haozhi spared Liang Benwu's life and ordered him to return to his ancestral hometown to retire.

Will this life be a little different after all, or will it just be the same destination?

Meng Yan was thinking about it, but suddenly her heart lit up.

Could it be that Lu Hao's night visit to Changchun Palace was just to show her some favor, so as to pave the way for sending her brother to fight in the future?

In her previous life, after her brother went on the Western Expedition, she was worried day and night, and her eyes were swollen from crying for several days. Lu Haozhi really stayed with her in Changchun Palace for a long time.

How did you write this paragraph in the script?

When Lin Yanrong heard about this in Gyeongbokgung Palace, she ridiculed Concubine Meng for being ignorant of the overall situation and said that she was just a woman from a petty family.

Thinking of this, Meng Yan was filled with anger. She was a woman, so of course she had a woman's heart. Could it be that Lin Yanrong was a man?! Was it even more remarkable to have a man's heart?!

What's more, the one who went out to fight was her Meng Yan's biological brother, not Lin Yanrong's flesh and blood relative, so of course she could be generous to others!

"Sister, you're about to tear this sachet apart."

Bai Yuxin's worried words broke Meng Yan's contemplation.

She lowered her head and took a look. Sure enough, the sachet had become wrinkled from being held tightly in her hand.

With a soft sigh, Meng Yan stood up and ordered, "Pass the message down, help me dress up, prepare the ceremonial equipment, and go to the Yangxin Palace."

Bai Yuxin was a little surprised and asked, "What are you going to do, sister?"

Meng Yan smiled at her and said, "Of course I'm going to express my gratitude."

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are blessings from heaven.

Since he had shown her a favor, she could only accept it and be more sensible so as not to anger him.

This is good, I've made things clear this time, and I can save myself a meal later. It's quite tiring to be hypocritical.

Meng Yan went back to her room to pack up, gathered the ceremonial guards, and headed towards the Yangxin Palace.

When they reached the outside of the Yangxin Palace, Ruizhu helped her up the stairs.

When Rong An saw her coming, his eyes widened so much that they almost fell to the ground.

It’s really rare today, the imperial concubine came here by herself!

He had almost forgotten that the Imperial Concubine was a frequent visitor to the Yangxin Palace in the past. With her absence these days, the Yangxin Palace was practically completely deserted!

Rong An hurriedly went to meet her, bowing and nodding, "Your Highness, are you here to see the Emperor? Unfortunately, the Dowager is inside."

Meng Yan also saw the imperial concubine's procession parked outside the palace early in the morning. She knew that Liang Chengbi had fallen, so the old imperial concubine had to hurry over to prevent the palace power from falling into the hands of others.

She smiled at Rong An and said, "In that case, I will wait here for a while."

Rong An had become somewhat accustomed to the amiable Concubine Meng, and hurriedly invited her aside.

In the Yangxin Palace, Lu Haozhi had a cold expression on his face as he sat on the dragon throne, listening to the nagging of Concubine Xuanhe.

"Your Majesty, even if Liang Shi was wrong, she has been in charge of palace affairs for many years. Even if she has no merit, she has certainly worked hard. If you strip her of her power now, it will inevitably make the six palaces feel humiliated."
