Chapter 70 I'll see who dares!
"I'll see who dares!"
Xiao Ce rushed in, and his face turned pale the moment he saw Meng Yanzhi lying on the ground vomiting blood.
He strode forward and quickly helped Meng Yanzhi up, holding her in his arms: "Your Meng family is truly something else, capable of such cruelty to your own flesh and blood!"
"Your Highness, it was clearly my sister..."
"Shut up, shut your mouth!"
Xiao Ce shouted sternly, his gaze toward Meng Anxian filled with ruthlessness and murderous intent.
Meng Anxian dared not say anything more and could only silently step back, while Xiao Ce carried Meng Yanzhi and strode out.
What about the early Ming Dynasty?
Meng Yanzhi gripped Xiao Ce's clothes tightly and stared at him.
"Your Highness, is Ming Chu still... alive?"
"She's also in the Crown Prince's residence, so don't worry."
With these words, Meng Yanzhi finally felt relieved and fainted.
When Meng Yanzhi woke up again, the first thing she did was go to find Ming Chu. She rushed out of the room barefoot and ran into Xiao Ce, who was returning from court.
Why aren't you wearing shoes?
What about the early Ming Dynasty?
Meng Yanzhi seemed completely deaf to what Xiao Ce was saying, focusing solely on Ming Chu.
"Come with me."
Xiao Ce took Meng Yanzhi's hand and walked towards the next room. After entering, he saw Ming Chu lying on the bed, barely alive.
Meng Yanzhi rushed to the bedside and saw Ming Chu wrapped in bandages, crying uncontrollably. She gently took her hand and saw that all ten fingernails had been pulled out, leaving only a bloody mess. Meng Yanzhi's hatred for the Meng family reached its peak!
She took a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and said, "Does Your Highness know that the Jade Prince has always coveted the position of Crown Prince? The Meng family has long since pledged allegiance to the Jade Prince, and several other families that were on good terms with the Meng family have also turned against the Jade Prince!"
"What are you saying?" Xiao Ce looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief. "You...do you know what you're saying?"
Meng Yanzhi forcefully wiped away her tears, then stood up and looked directly at Xiao Ce: "I said someone is coveting the position of Crown Prince and has stationed 50,000 troops in the southern city!"
Xiao Ce gasped, "That's absolutely impossible!"
"I have evidence!"
Meng Yanzhi twitched the corner of her mouth.
She stepped forward, her eyes flashing with madness: "Your Highness, let's join forces and kill them, shall we?"
Xiao Ce naturally knew who Meng Yanzhi was referring to as "them," but...
"Just for a servant?"
"She's not a servant, she's my family!"
Meng Yanzhi clenched her fists and glanced at Ming Chu.
“You all say she’s just a servant, and everyone in the world thinks she’s just a servant. I don’t like that, and I’m not happy about it.”
"I will make them pay for this, I will wipe the Meng family out of existence!"
This was the first time Meng Yanzhi had completely revealed her ambition and madness in front of Xiao Ce.
But she couldn't care less. If she still couldn't protect the people she wanted to protect even after being reborn, then she might as well perish together with them!
"Do you know that you are also a daughter of the Meng family!"
Xiao Ce took a deep breath.
"I don't care!"
"I don't care whether I live or die, I just want them to die!"
Meng Yanzhi's eyes were bloodshot as she gritted her teeth and roared.
Xiao Ce stepped forward, gently hugged Meng Yanzhi, and said tenderly, "Alright, alright, calm down."
"Your Highness, I am very calm now."
Meng Yanzhi suddenly laughed and pushed Xiao Ce away.
"The Emperor has no heir, but the princes of the imperial clan are all more restless than the last. Prince Yu is now on par with His Highness and has also gained the Emperor's favor. Most importantly, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince are also on his side."
"The Meng family's Ministry of War, the Lu family's Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Personnel that Xu Shize was going to all the time are now on Prince Yu's side. How many of the six ministries in the court does Your Highness have?"
Meng Yanzhi didn't say these words for no reason. She had long been aware of the movements of the entire court. In her previous life, she was passed around to many powerful people. In the exchange of wine and women, she heard a lot of key information. Now, this information has become a bargaining chip that Meng Yanzhi can use to exchange with Xiao Ce.
"you……"
Xiao Ce took a step back in disbelief, feeling for the first time how terrifying this woman was, as if he had never known her before. This person was crazy, calm and ruthless!
It's a pity she's a woman; if she were a man, she would definitely be a fierce general!
"Do you know that what you are saying is extremely treasonous? If others heard it, you might lose your life!"
"But His Highness wouldn't care about these things, would he?"
Meng Yanzhi suddenly smiled, took a step forward, and hooked her arm around Xiao Ce's shoulder.
"Your Highness, please help me. I will be of great use to you."
The distance between the two suddenly shortened, so Xiao Ce's breathing became a little rapid. Looking at Meng Yanzhi's crazed eyes, he also became restless.
"I need time to investigate what you've said thoroughly."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Meng Yanzhi took a step back, bowed respectfully, then turned and walked to Ming Chu's side, staying with her.
“Miss, we’ll stay with Mingchu.” Lu Ping walked in carrying the medicine and looked at Meng Yanzhi with some concern: “You also have injuries. The doctor said they are internal injuries and you need to rest and recuperate.”
Meng Anfeng's kick was merciless; Meng Yanzhi still felt pain in her internal organs, but she knew she wouldn't die—she was all too familiar with this feeling.
Meng Yanzhi shook her head, took the medicine bowl herself, and fed it to Mingchu spoonful by spoonful, saying softly, "She did this for my sake, so I must stay by her side."
“Miss, these people are really too much!” Lu Huan walked up and sat down at Meng Yanzhi’s feet, muttering, “They broke two of Ming Chu’s ribs, and he has whip marks, knife wounds, and burns all over his body. They even pulled out all his fingernails. There’s hardly a good spot on his body. They’re not even human!”
"Miss... Waaah, can we really get justice for Mingchu?" Lu Huan suddenly burst into tears.
She was not a weak person, but seeing Mingchu lying here so peacefully, she couldn't help but cry out.
"Enough, Ah Huan, stop talking!" Lu Ping kicked Lu Huan in anger. What kind of time is this to be talking so much nonsense?
Meng Yanzhi seemed completely oblivious to all of this, silently feeding Mingchu the medicine before calmly saying, "I will definitely seek justice for Mingchu!"
"Miss... you should take care of your health. I'm afraid the Meng family won't let this go."
"No problem, I have a way to make them give up."
