Chapter 130 Tears are useless, revenge is possible.
She lay in bed, tears streaming down her face. Her past life had taught Meng Yanzhi a lesson: tears were the most useless thing. But now, besides tears, Meng Yanzhi really didn't know what else she could offer.
After crying her fill, Meng Yanzhi got up and walked towards the small room next door. Looking at Mingchu lying on the bed, barely alive, she felt a pang of sadness.
She had been so careful, but the harem was just too dangerous. No matter how hard she tried, it seemed impossible to protect the people she could protect.
Meng Yanzhi stepped forward, gently took Mingchu's hand, and stared at her battered body, her gaze growing colder and colder with each passing moment.
"Miss, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Mingchu."
Huan Yun walked over, smiled at Meng Yanzhi, then put down what she was holding and looked at Ming Chu with some heartache.
Huan Yun had seen many dirty tricks in the palace before, but this was the first time she had ever seen someone treated like this.
Huan Yun sat to the side, tears streaming down her face: "This is just too much! Is there no humanity left?"
"She's not human at all."
Meng Yanzhi's face darkened, and she gave a cold snort.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Huan Yun suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly came over, pulling Meng Yanzhi back: "No, Miss, you can't say it!"
"I understand," Meng Yanzhi replied calmly. "Take good care of Mingchu."
She got up and walked outside.
"rouge!"
Zhao Bailu suddenly rushed over and hugged Meng Yanzhi tightly.
"Rouge, are you alright? You scared me to death! I rushed in as soon as I heard about this!"
"Let me see, how did you get hurt? What happened to you?"
Zhao Bailu looked at Meng Yanzhi with a face full of heartache and immediately stuffed all the medicines she had brought back into her hands.
"These are medicines from my brother's army. Although they are a bit strong, don't worry, they work very well!"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't be sad."
As Zhao Bailu spoke, she almost burst into tears.
Meng Yanzhi felt a lump in her throat as she looked at Zhao Bailu.
She took a deep breath, then forced back all her tears, and hugged Zhao Bailu tightly: "Don't say anything, just hug me, okay?"
"Okay." Zhao Bailu was also stunned for a moment, but quickly agreed without saying anything, just holding Meng Yanzhi.
A short while later, Liu, the head maidservant of Consort Liu, summoned her to report: "Consort Liu summons Miss Meng."
"Coming right away."
Meng Yanzhi nodded, wiped away her tears, smiled at Zhao Bailu, and followed Liu Huan towards Zhaoyang Palace.
"I'm going too!"
Zhao Bailu immediately followed behind, and the two of them arrived at Zhaoyang Palace together.
"Your Majesty, you must do justice for Rouge!"
"This time, Hanliu Palace has really gone too far. Even if Mingchu has made a mistake, it is still unacceptable to abuse the law so ruthlessly!"
Zhao Bailu spoke first, grabbing Consort Liu's hand and shaking it repeatedly.
Upon hearing this, Consort Liu's expression turned serious: "Zhao Bailu, shut up!"
Consort Liu then looked at Meng Yanzhi and asked, "Yanzhi, what are your plans regarding this matter?"
"Your Majesty, please speak plainly." Meng Yanzhi smiled gently as she looked at Consort Liu.
She knew that Consort Liu had summoned her at this time most likely because Xiao Xingyuan had already figured out how to handle the matter.
Hearing this, Consort Liu felt a pang of unease. She looked at Meng Yanzhi and said, "I know you're thinking of paying for this with blood, but let me tell you clearly, it's impossible."
Just as I expected.
Meng Yanzhi took a deep breath. She knew this matter would not be so easy. She felt extremely uncomfortable, and tears fell down her face.
"Your Majesty! Why should I!"
Zhao Bailu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, feeling utterly depressed.
"It was clearly Hanliu Palace that did something wrong, so why should Rouge be wronged?"
Consort Liu was already having a headache, and now, hearing Zhao Bailu's relentless nagging, she became even more irritated. She said irritably, "Can you shut up! Do you know how serious this matter is? Even for the sake of Prince Yu, the Emperor can't really do anything to Hanliu Palace!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Meng Yanzhi tugged at Zhao Bailu, then smiled gently and gave a proper bow.
Consort Liu always felt that Meng Yanzhi seemed to be fine now, but in fact, she had already gone mad.
"Rouge, the Imperial Pharmacy has sent over a lot of things. Take them all back for Mingchu to use."
"Once she recovers, I will definitely give her some dignity."
Consort Liu sighed helplessly and looked at Meng Yanzhi. This was the only thing she could do as a consort sitting in this position.
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi simply bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I thank you for your generous gift!"
"Rouge, I really did my best." Consort Liu looked at Meng Rouge with some guilt.
Zhao Bailu watched Meng Yanzhi get up and walk out, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She immediately grabbed Consort Liu's arm and said, "Aunt, how can this matter be left like this! What's so great about Consort Liu anyway! She broke the palace rules, why should we just let it go!"
"Because she's just a maid, she's insignificant." Consort Liu looked at Zhao Bailu with some helplessness: "You think you don't know these tricks in the palace? Don't you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bailu slumped her shoulders helplessly, sighed, and asked, "Then, what should we do with Rouge?"
"His Majesty will protect her." Consort Liu smiled helplessly: "Alright, don't get involved in this matter anymore. During this time, you should stay at home and cultivate your character, and stop causing trouble here."
Mingchu finally woke up in the evening.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Meng Yanzhi dozing off beside her, and tears streamed down her face: "Miss..."
"You're awake?"
"Mingchu, you're finally awake. Does it hurt a lot?"
Meng Yanzhi felt a pang of heartache, took Mingchu's hand, and gently asked a question.
“Miss, I don’t feel any pain at all. I know you love me, but Consort Liu is backed by the Jade Prince. We can’t afford to offend him.”
"Miss, Miss! Please don't do anything foolish."
Mingchu gripped Meng Yanzhi's hand tightly, but her strength was too weak; even with all her might, she couldn't hold onto Meng Yanzhi's hand.
Meng Yanzhi gently wiped away Mingchu's tears and said softly, "Alright, alright, don't say anymore. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
