Chapter 129 Hate Him
Empress Dowager Jiang sat in the main room, drank a cup of tea, looked at the clock on the table, calculated that it was almost time, and then nodded at Zang Xiu.
Zang Xiu understood, smiled slightly, and walked lightly towards the inner hall.
Rong An saw it all and felt a little relieved. He didn't know what was going on inside, but at least he didn't have to face the emperor's wrath.
Zang Xiu walked to the door and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has ordered this servant to come and greet you two."
After asking, Lu Haozhi's voice came from inside a moment later, "Open the door."
The tone of these words was calm, neither happy nor angry.
Zang Xiu was a little confused, so she took out the key from her sleeve and unlocked the door.
After the door opened, she walked in slowly, bowed, lowered her head and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is very happy." As she spoke, she glanced at the two of them out of the corner of her eye.
Just by taking a look at it, Zang Xiu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Lu Haozhi stood beside the bed, looking a little embarrassed.
Meng Yan was sitting there with her long hair hanging down, her eyes red and smooth with pink light, obviously she had just cried bitterly.
Both of them were dressed neatly, and there was no joy on their faces.
Although Zang Xiu never married, she served the emperor and empress in the deep palace for many years. Even if she had not experienced it personally, she knew most of the things between men and women.
These two people in front of me... don't look like they just experienced a sweet love affair.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager had miscalculated?
Meng Yan said calmly, "Your Majesty, please allow me to dress up." Then she said to Zang Xiu, "Aunt, please call Ruizhu in."
Lu Haozhi paused, looked at her deeply, and walked out.
Zang Xiu hesitated slightly, then turned around and called Ruizhu in.
Ruizhu went in and helped Meng Yan wash her face and comb her hair. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at her master.
Meng Yan looked in the mirror and smiled, "You daring girl, you've already betrayed your master, why are you pretending to be like this now?"
Upon hearing this, Ruizhu immediately knelt down, choking with sobs, "Your Majesty, this servant...this servant didn't do this on purpose...The Empress Dowager ordered that only this way could His Majesty and Your Majesty reconcile..."
Meng Yan unscrewed a small white porcelain jar, revealing a square of peach-pink lip balm. She took a little and put a little on her lips.
The pale face in the mirror suddenly became radiant.
She said calmly, "Get up. You cannot disobey the Queen Mother's order. Don't do such things again."
Ruizhu burst into laughter, got up from the ground, and re-tied her hair.
She did not blame the empress dowager. To be fair, the empress dowager had done nothing wrong. As a concubine in the harem, she would have no place to stand in the harem in the long run without the emperor's favor.
The Empress Dowager was simply mediating and fighting for her based on her life experience.
She just couldn't get over this hurdle of her own.
After finishing her makeup, Meng Yan stood up and walked outside to kowtow to the Empress Dowager.
Shane still wants it anyway.
When Empress Dowager Jiang saw the two of them, she immediately understood that most likely nothing would be accomplished!
She glanced at Lu Haozhi unhappily, and seeing that his expression was as calm as water, she became even more furious, and she wanted to beat her son out with a stick!
I've done so much for you, and you still can't succeed!
Do you still need me to help you get on the bed?
Empress Dowager Jiang didn't bother to look at him any more. She just said to Meng Yan, "After all this commotion today, I'm sure you're tired. There's no need to set rules here for me. Go back and rest. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it another day."
Meng Yan responded and said goodbye.
After leaving Shoukang Palace, she was about to get into the sedan chair when she heard Lu Haozhi's voice.
"Yan'er!"
Meng Yan turned around and bowed to the person who came. "Your Majesty has called me to stop. Do you have any other instructions?"
Looking at the woman in front of him who was indifferent again, Lu Haozhi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, as if the woman crying in his arms just now was not her.
He took a step forward and took her hand.
"I will come to your place later."
Meng Yan pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said softly, "I dare to ask, but could Your Majesty not come tonight? I want... some peace and quiet." She raised her head, her clear eyes looking at him, "Your Majesty just promised me that I should think it over carefully."
Her heart was in a state of confusion. If Lu Haozhi came again tonight, she really didn't know how to get along with him.
Lu Haozhi's eyes moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
After a while, he sighed softly, "Okay, go back and have a good rest."
After saying that, he kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Meng Yan bowed again before leaving on the sedan chair.
Watching the imperial concubine's procession gradually disappear at the end of his sight, Lu Haozhi clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists, and then gradually opened them.
Just now, she burst into tears and said she hated him...
It's okay to hate him, but it doesn't mean to ignore him.
No matter what, the things of the so-called previous life can no longer be turned back, but this life... this life is still long.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue, Zhao Chengyi, is waiting outside the Baohe Hall. He said he has an urgent matter to report."
Rong An spoke in a very small and weak voice.
It seems that this matter has not been accomplished. I just hope that the emperor will be busy with state affairs and never think about his "rebellion" just now.
Lu Haozhi came back to his senses, glanced at him, raised his leg and kicked Rong An in the big fat ass.
Rong An was caught off guard and fell forward, then hurriedly climbed up and said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, I am wrong. Please punish me. But, but I am also acting according to the decree of the Empress Dowager..."
Lu Haozhi snorted coldly, "It seems you only listen to the Queen Mother! You rebellious slave, go to the Ministry of Punishment and receive ten strokes of the cane!"
Well, he has to sleep on his stomach again.
Alas, it must be because the imperial concubine did not satisfy the emperor, which is why the emperor is so angry.
Rong An sighed and dragged his feet towards the Ministry of Punishment. He, the eunuch in charge of the emperor, was about to become the eunuch who was punished by the emperor.
After returning to Changchun Palace, Meng Yan did not mention anything about what happened in Shoukang Palace. She only asked Bai Yuxin to take Doukou to practice calligraphy, while she sat on the corridor and stared at the flowers and trees in the courtyard.
After some time, her mind finally calmed down.
Since she was able to be reborn, it was not surprising that Lu Haozhi could remember his past life.
Hearing him say in person that he had never doubted the Meng family, she felt more at ease. After all, what she cared about most in this life were her father, brothers, and family.
As the daughter of a marquis, she enjoys fine clothes and delicious food and a high status, so she must shoulder the responsibilities of a marquis's daughter.
But now she is probably no longer competent.
If Lu Haozhi knew nothing, she might still be able to pretend to be nice to him, but now that he remembers everything, he must also remember all her hysterical and crazy behavior at that time.
Although many of her crazy words and actions may not have come from her true intentions, she did it anyway.
Lu Haozhi didn't feel anything for the time being, but after a while, with her always by his side, he couldn't help but think of what happened before and started to feel disgusted with her again.
She had to do something before that.
