Chapter 128 Consort Liu Displays Her Ferocity, Lady Meng Shows Her Unique Skill
Huan Yun knelt on the ground, crying, not daring to look at Meng Yanzhi even once.
"Miss Meng, I'm so sorry, it's all because I'm incompetent, I couldn't stop it at all!"
What?
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi's eyes widened in shock, her hands clenched into fists, and without a second thought, she turned and walked towards Hanliu Palace.
"Your Majesty, Meng Yanzhi requests an audience with you!"
Meng Yanzhi knelt in Hanliu Palace, kowtowing repeatedly, her pleas echoing into the room.
Ming Chu was covered in blood and lay on the ground, motionless. But after hearing Meng Yanzhi's voice, he struggled to crawl out.
The titmouse's foot pressed firmly against Mingchu's body: "You wretch, do you think she can save you?"
Meng Yanzhi cried and begged for a long time, but no one came out to take a look. She took a deep breath and then rushed in without caring about anything else.
The moment she rushed in, Meng Yanzhi saw Ming Chu lying on the ground, his body a bloody mess.
"ah!"
Meng Yanzhi screamed like a madwoman, shoved away the sparrow that was stepping on Mingchu, and hugged Mingchu tightly.
"Why! What mistake did my Ming Dynasty make at the beginning of the dynasty?!"
Meng Yanzhi stared at Consort Liu through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Consort Liu sneered, "She did nothing wrong. The only thing she did wrong was serving you. I am a concubine in the palace. I don't need any reason to kill a servant."
"You've gone too far!"
"If anything happens to my Mingchu, I will make you all pay with your lives!"
Meng Yanzhi released Ming Chu, stood up, and her eyes swept over everyone with a sharp, piercing gaze.
"How dare you, Meng Yanzhi! Who do you think you are to threaten me like this!"
"Guards, slap him!"
Consort Liu already disliked Meng Yanzhi, and now that Meng Yanzhi had been confined and demoted, she hated her even more.
The sparrow had been waiting for these words. It strode forward and raised its hand to slap Meng Yanzhi hard.
With a cold smile, Meng Yanzhi plunged the silver needle she had hidden in her hand into her palm.
"ah!"
The titmouse let out a shriek, and before it could even react to what was happening, it collapsed to the ground, its fate unknown.
"You? You!"
Upon seeing this, Consort Liu was terrified and quickly retreated, her voice trembling.
"What kind of sorcery did you use?"
"Guards! Guards! Seize her!"
The surrounding palace maids were also quite frightened by this scene, but they still stepped forward one after another, as they dared not disobey Consort Liu's orders.
The crowd surrounded Meng Yanzhi, and just as they were about to reach out, they felt a tingling sensation all over their bodies. Before they could react, they fainted.
"Outrageous! You've overturned it!"
"Someone come here!"
Consort Liu screamed in fright, thinking that Meng Yanzhi was a sorceress who knew magic.
"What's all the fuss about?"
Upon receiving the news, Consort Liu rushed over. As soon as she entered, she saw this scene and her face darkened as she roared angrily.
"Your Highness, help me!"
"Your Majesty, save me!"
Meng Yanzhi immediately rushed to Consort Liu, knelt on the ground, and pleaded bitterly.
"Mingchu, sob sob, my Mingchu, she's dying!"
Before she could finish speaking, Consort Liu screamed and stepped forward, slapping her hard across the face.
"Your Highness, this lowly maid has stormed into my palace and injured my people. She has committed insubordination and deserves to be executed!"
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Xiao Xingyuan hurried in, his eyebrows furrowing tightly as he looked at the people lying on the floor.
His gaze fell on Meng Yanzhi, who was covered in blood, had a cut on her head, and had a swollen face, looking utterly wretched.
What are you doing?
"emperor!"
Consort Liu, feigning malice, rushed to Xiao Xingyuan's side, grabbed his leg, and began to cry: "Your Majesty, please do justice for me! This little girl has committed an act of insubordination. I was merely disciplining her, and Miss Meng came to my palace to threaten me and even injured my maid!"
"Meng Yanzhi, what's going on?"
Xiao Xingyuan didn't even glance at Consort Liu; he only stared at Meng Yanzhi.
Meng Yanzhi seemed to wake from a dream, and suddenly knelt on the ground, crawling to Xiao Xingyuan's front and kowtowing repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, I beg you, save Mingchu! I am willing to bear all the blame, I only beg Your Majesty to save her!"
"Your Majesty, I beg you, I beg you!"
Meng Yanzhi had always known that Xiao Xingyuan had used all sorts of methods to make her beg.
Now, Meng Yanzhi doesn't want anything anymore—no backbone, no dignity, nothing. All she wants is for Ming Chu to live.
Tears mingled with the blood on her head as they fell, and Meng Yanzhi trembled violently, looking utterly disheveled.
"I beg you, Your Majesty, I beg you! I beg you!"
Xiao Xingyuan stared at Meng Yanzhi with his eyebrows furrowed tightly, his expression complex.
He had indeed been coercing and enticing Meng Yanzhi, trying to make her beg him.
But when the moment actually arrived, Xiao Xingyuan felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
"Someone, summon the imperial physician!"
"Take them back!"
Xiao Xingyuan suddenly supported Meng Yanzhi, staring into her eyes with gritted teeth.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! This humble woman is very grateful to Your Majesty!"
Meng Yanzhi didn't have time to understand the complex emotions in his eyes; she simply followed the palace maids and eunuchs back to her room.
"Put him on the bed!"
"Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet!"
"Help!"
Meng Yanzhi was on the verge of madness. With trembling hands, she unbuttoned Mingchu's clothes and saw that Mingchu's body was covered in marks from being branded with red-hot irons.
"Son of a bitch!"
Meng Yanzhi gritted her teeth, her hands clenched into fists.
"I'm going to kill her!"
"Kill her!"
The imperial physician rushed over with his medicine chest. Upon seeing the scene, he was so frightened that he almost fell over. He quickly stepped forward, gave Mingchu a life-saving pill, and then began to apply medicine to him.
Ming Chu was in excruciating pain, his cries carrying far and wide. Meng Yanzhi was heartbroken, biting her lip so hard that blood oozed from her lips, making her look ferocious and terrifying.
"Miss Meng, this little girl has suffered a lot, but we've already treated her. We can't guarantee she'll survive." The imperial physician, panting heavily, looked at Meng Yanzhi with some difficulty: "Miss Meng, your injuries..."
Meng Yanzhi simply handed the imperial physician two large gold ingots, tears streaming down her face, before rushing to Mingchu's side.
"Mingchu, I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
"It's all my fault, I'm sorry!"
Meng Yanzhi kept apologizing. She could clearly feel Ming Chu's vital signs disappearing little by little. She was going to die. She felt like she was really about to die!
"Miss, don't be too sad. Sister Mingchu will be alright."
"Imperial Advisor! I'll go beg the Imperial Advisor!"
Meng Yanzhi suddenly realized that Ling Xiao was the Imperial Advisor and also the person with the highest medical skills!
She rushed out like a madwoman, disregarding everything, only to find Ling Xiao standing at her doorstep.
"Imperial Preceptor, save me!" Meng Yanzhi knelt on the ground. "Please, save Mingchu, I beg you!"
