Chapter 32: Good Slut
Tsk!
As expected, when you are in the palace, the pot will come from the sky.
Liang Chengbi was really impatient. Lin Yanrong had just entered the palace and was already throwing dirty water on her head.
That's right, she had suffered such a big setback at his hands before, so of course she was anxious to get back on track.
"Ginger soup?"
A cold voice with a hint of doubt sounded in my ears.
Meng Yan gave a barely perceptible smile. She did not expect the male protagonist, Lu Haozhi, to believe in her unconditionally.
She had already thought of a plan to deal with it.
Meng Yan did not respond to this. She even ignored Liang Chengbi and looked at a palace maid dressed as an aunt.
"Have you summoned the imperial physician? You fools, all of you are kneeling here wailing, who is there to serve you?"
Yinqiao, the maidservant in charge of Yongshou Palace, was a little flustered when the imperial concubine suddenly asked her a question. She stammered, "Your Highness, we've already called the imperial physician. The young lady's bride, Xiuzhi, is serving inside."
Meng Yan asked again: "Then where is the imperial physician?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Hospital walked out from behind the curtain and bowed to everyone.
"Your humble servant, Zhang Yuangui, pays homage to His Majesty, His Majesty the Imperial Consort, and His Majesty the Imperial Consort."
Meng Yan originally knew this person. He was a mature and steady person who had never been involved in the disputes in the harem. She thought that this time it was just a coincidence.
"So you're Imperial Physician Zhang. You're also a veteran of the Imperial Hospital, and your medical skills are always praised. I'm sure nothing will go wrong. How is Concubine Lin doing now? Is it a big deal?"
She kept saying she was only concerned about Lin Yanrong's condition, but she acted as if she was concerned about a concubine of lower rank.
This makes Liang Chengbi look like he is eager to frame someone else.
Liang Chengbi was not stupid, so he understood her intention. His face turned pale and blue, and he cursed himself for being too hasty. He secretly glanced at Lu Hao.
But he was staring at Meng Yan, his eyes bright and thoughtful.
"Consort Lin accidentally took thunder wort, which caused her to vomit blood. Just now, I induced vomiting for the young lady, and asked the palace maids to serve her a detoxifying soup. The young lady is now fine. After a few days of recuperation, she will surely be fine."
Meng Yan looked relieved, and turned to Lu Haozhi and smiled, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Lin is blessed by heaven, and with the protection of Your Majesty's dragon energy, she has escaped danger."
As she spoke, she bowed down.
Ruizhu, who came with her, was very clever. Seeing her master act like this, she quickly knelt down and shouted, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
All the palace maids in the room followed her lead and congratulated her without knowing what was going on.
Liang Chengbi was unwilling, but it was not easy to disobey, so he had to go with the flow.
Lu Haozhi looked at Meng Yan, who was gentle and respectful in front of him, and did not speak for a while.
She looked virtuous, generous, and concerned, as if she really cared about Lin Yanrong's safety, but did this matter really have nothing to do with her?
Based on her previous temper and the rumors, it is not impossible for her to do it.
"It's good news that Concubine Lin is out of danger. But what about Jiang Tang and Concubine Meng?"
Meng Yan's heart skipped a beat, but when she looked up, she saw Lu Hao's stern face, and she couldn't help but smile in her heart.
As she had expected, when Lin Yanrong got into trouble, Lu Haozhi was the first person to suspect.
Wasn't it just like this in his previous life? Regardless of whether there was any truth to the matter or how many loopholes there were, Lu Haozhi always blindly believed in Lin Yanrong and doubted himself.
Of course the male protagonist will side with the female protagonist. Could it be that he will help her, the supporting actress?
Fortunately, she no longer has any expectations of this man.
Meng Yan lowered her eyes slightly and replied calmly, "Today, the new ladies entered the palace just as it was pouring rain. I heard that some sisters were caught in the rain before they could take shelter. Although it is already March, I am still worried that someone will catch a cold and be delayed in serving the emperor in the future. So I ordered the Imperial Hospital to make ginger soup and sent a bowl to each palace. As for Concubine Lin accidentally eating thunder god vine, how is it related to the ginger soup? I really don't know."
This was said tactfully, highlighting her kindness towards the six concubines while also distinguishing herself from the others - she didn't know what thunder god vine was, and the ginger soup was made by the Imperial Hospital. If anything went wrong, it would be far-fetched to link it to her.
Lu Haozhi's face was as gloomy as water, and he did not comment, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
At this stalemate, a palace maid suddenly ran out from inside, knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, and cried like rain.
"Your Majesty, please help my young mistress. She just arrived at the palace today and isn't used to anything. Suddenly, the Imperial Hospital sent a bowl of ginger soup. My young mistress never likes spicy food, but the messengers insisted they were following the Imperial Concubine's instructions, urging her not to let her down. Though reluctant, she couldn't resist, so she reluctantly drank it. Within half an hour, she fainted from the poison. Your Majesty, our young mistress has been wronged."
What a slut!
Meng Yan couldn't help but praise her in her heart. In just a few words, she described Lin Yanrong's pitiful appearance of compromising and her own arrogance and domineering attitude of bullying concubines.
She looked at the palace maid for a few times and saw that she had an oval face, two curved willow-shaped eyebrows, and narrow but charming eyes. Looking closely, she was even more attractive than her master Lin Yanrong.
Meng Yan remembered this girl. She was Lin Yanrong's dowry and her name was Xiuzhi. In fact, she was a loyal and good dog. However, in her previous life, Lin Yanrong disliked her beauty and was afraid that she would be noticed by the emperor, so she found a reason to send her to the Ministry of Punishment. In the end, no one knew whether she was dead or alive.
In this life, she pounced out and bit people for her master.
Having dealt with each other for half their lives, Meng Yan was not angry, but just found it a little ridiculous.
She didn't look at Lu Haozhi, but only stared at Xiuzhi who was kneeling on the ground. She said in a calm tone, "Since your young lady doesn't like spicy food, then why not drink the ginger soup? Why force yourself? If a cow doesn't drink water, who can force her head down?"
Xiuzhi was just a young maid who had just entered the palace. How could she withstand the pressure from the Imperial Concubine? Her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. She bit her lip and said softly, "The person who came is very aggressive. The Imperial Concubine is very powerful. Little Master Lin is just new to the palace. How dare she disobey the Imperial Concubine's orders?"
"That's ridiculous," Meng Yan chuckled and said coldly, "Your Majesty, before he even summoned you, you rushed out crying and screaming. Just looking at your disrespectful and disrespectful attitude, it's hard to believe that Concubine Lin didn't even have the courage to refuse a bowl of ginger soup. Even if your master is a coward, what were you, a courageous and loyal servant, doing at that time?!"
