Chapter 111 I’m afraid even the crown will be worn on her head
Lin Yanrong gritted her teeth and said nothing, gently stroking her cheek. After a long moment of suppressing her shame, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is urgent. There are quite a few people in Changchun Palace, and it's really hard to deal with so many people and eyes. You don't have to worry, this matter is actually easy to handle. It was Concubine Zhao who delivered the message. Although Eunuch Liu is a father-in-law and has no children, it doesn't mean he doesn't have relatives outside the palace. Capture his family and let him blame Concubine Zhao."
After hearing these words, Liang Chengbi looked her up and down and sneered, "Mrs. Lin, I never expected you to look so delicate and weak, but you actually have such a cruel heart. Well, now that things have come to this, I have no other choice but to do as you say."
Lin Yanrong smiled briefly, but then Liang Chengbi added, "I'll leave this matter to you. If you do a good job, naturally, no one will be in trouble. If your whereabouts are leaked, it won't be my fault." At this point, Liang Chengbi smiled and said softly, "Sister Changzai, this is a brilliant plan I heard from you, so you should go down and carry it out carefully."
After saying this, Liang Chengbi got on the sedan chair and left.
Ever since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, Liang Chengbi's patience had finally worn out.
At first, she had only seen how Lin had already established a relationship with the emperor before even entering the palace, and with the support of Concubine Xuanhe, she was considered a promising talent. Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, this woman achieved nothing, being completely suppressed by Concubine Meng.
Several times she offered advice, but it always failed miserably, forcing Liang Chengbi to clean up the mess himself. When the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she said something to please her, and Liang Chengbi finally tolerated it for a while.
Now, the Queen Mother has been back in the palace for a few days, but she has not shown any warmth to her at all. Instead, she heard that the Queen Mother scolded her when the Concubine Dowager brought her there that day.
Today, her "good plan" almost got her into trouble again.
Liang Chengbi was not a kind person to begin with, and after what happened today, he would certainly not give Lin Yanrong a good look anymore.
She sat on the sedan chair, sneered and said nothing. She would let Lin deal with the matter herself this time. If she cleaned it up cleanly, it would be her luck. If she didn't, she would bear the responsibility herself. There was no need for her, Concubine Liang, to clean up her mess every time!
Thinking of her abolished title of Imperial Noble Consort, Liang Chengbi gritted her teeth in hatred, pulled off a jade bracelet from her wrist and threw it to the ground.
The bracelet hit the stone floor and shattered into pieces, which scared the accompanying palace maid Chunqing.
Chun Qing looked up at her master and asked carefully, "My Lady, do you have any instructions?"
Liang Chengbi raised his head and closed his eyes, breathing heavily for a long time before he said, "Chunqing, is there any news from the mansion today?"
Chun Qing observed her expression and whispered, "The Master sent word that things have been going on at court lately, and the situation is unstable. Prince Meng is still leading troops at the southwest border, and the Emperor is in need of personnel. Please be patient, Your Majesty, and be patient for a while."
Liang Chengbi slammed her hand down on the armrest. "Be patient, how long will you endure this?! That Concubine Meng..., how long are you going to ride on my head?! Look at the situation today. If it weren't for Meng Yan's own hypocrisy, the Emperor would have handed the power of the six palaces to her long ago. Before long, I'm afraid even the empress's crown will be on her head. When that happens, don't blame me, everyone in the Liang Mansion!"
Chun Qing was startled and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, don't say that carelessly. Be careful of people on the road." After thinking for a moment, she whispered, "Your Majesty, why do you always rely on the master? If you can get a little favor from the emperor, wouldn't it be better than thousands of words from others?"
When Liang Chengbi heard this, he immediately wanted to raise his hand and slap Chunqing, but when he thought that Chunqing was his trusted and beloved maid, he held back.
After a moment, she laughed a few times, her laughter full of sadness.
Gaining some favor from the Emperor? Besides Meng Yan, who else has the Emperor seen in these years?
Before, she thought it was because Meng Yan forcibly occupied the emperor, but in the past few days, the two of them ignored each other, and Lu Haozhi would rather remain naked than touch others.
She finally understood that the reason why Meng Yan was able to monopolize Lu Haozhi was because Lu Haozhi was willing to let her monopolize him.
Liang Chengbi was stunned for a while before ordering them to return to Yiku Palace.
Lu Haozhi did not return to the Yangxin Palace, but accompanied Meng Yan to the Changchun Palace.
The two got off the sedan in front of the palace gate and walked in one after the other.
Meng Yan was in front, and Lu Haozhi followed behind her, looking at her slender waist, which was as charming and graceful as a willow branch in spring.
Perhaps it was the scorching summer heat, but Lu Haozhi just felt hot and stuffy.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the previous time, when she lay quietly, allowing him to undress her.
In the past, she was the one who helped him undress.
Although she had been with him for seven years, the beautiful scenery that he should have been accustomed to still made his blood boil when it appeared before him, and he was as unable to control himself as a young boy who had never tasted fish.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but all he could think about was holding her in his arms.
Lu Haozhi smiled and wondered if he had been away from home for too long.
He took two quick steps, walked side by side with her, and held her hand.
The little hands are a little cold, and it feels so comfortable to hold them in the palm of your hand in the summer.
Meng Yan was thinking about Doukou so absent-mindedly that she let him hold her hand.
The two of them entered the inner hall together. Princess He An had already been sent back and placed on the bed.
Seeing that the child was still sleeping soundly, Meng Yan stood by the bed, silent.
Lu Haozhi ordered the palace servants to bring a spring stool over, and pulled Meng Yan to sit down, and the two sat shoulder to shoulder.
"Don't worry, Doukou will be fine. The imperial physician said she was just holding her breath and will wake up in no time."
He spoke awkwardly. Meng Yan was a doctor, so he didn't need to say such words, but he didn't know what else to say.
Meng Yan shook her head and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, if Yunxiang hadn't sent the message in time... would Your Majesty have sent Doukou away?"
"Won't."
Lu Haozhi didn't think much about it and blurted out, then asked in surprise, "Why do you ask this?"
Meng Yan's red lips curled slightly, and she said softly, "I can't bear to part with this child."
"If Doukou calls you mother, then she is your daughter."
Lu Haozhi squeezed her hand hard and said, "We will have many children in the future."
Meng Yan didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say. Ever since that day when he had another heart attack, he seemed a little different.
Today, his words and actions somewhat surprised her.
"Yan'er, you will be in charge of all matters in the harem, okay?"
Meng Yan was a little surprised and couldn't help but smile, "Your Majesty, do you trust me?"
Lu Haozhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't worry even if the Yangxin Palace is destroyed."
As he was speaking, Rong An came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the battle report has arrived. Several officials are waiting to see you in the Baohe Hall."
Upon hearing the news, Lu Haozhi had no choice but to get up and leave.
Meng Yan sent it out, but she was full of doubts. When had she ever smashed the Yangxin Palace in this life?
