After the divorce, the four big guys became my servants

Concubine Lan was still taking a nap, and was awakened by her. She couldn't help but scold, "It's useless. What are you afraid of? She was punished because she hurt me. Who dares to say anything if she tells others about it?"

"Look at you, you are so timid and cowardly. What use do I have for you?"

Meng Zhaoge lowered her head, her eyes reddened: "My daughter-in-law is just afraid of the prince. The prince doesn't like me, he only likes my sister. If the prince finds out... he will beat me."

When Lan Fei heard this, her expression became serious: "Apart from that slap, has Qi'er ever hit you before?"

"This..." Meng Zhaoge lowered her head with tears in her eyes, her little hands tugging at her sleeves awkwardly, not daring to speak.

Concubine Lan seemed to understand everything.

Her eyes went dark.

If this matter gets out, it will have a great impact on my son's reputation.

Concubine Lan was afraid that Meng Zhaoge would tell others, so she quickly held her hand and put the golden hairpin with cloud and phoenix pattern on her bun on her head.

"Qi'er was deceived by that vixen for a while, so don't be angry with him. I'll tell him off when he comes back."

Meng Zhaoge nodded timidly, with tears in her eyes again: "Thank you, mother, for taking charge."

At this time, the palace maid asked the imperial physician to come back and come in to ask Concubine Lan for advice on how to deal with Meng Changning.

Concubine Lan heard the noise outside and thought for a moment: "Carry her to the side hall first and take good care of her in the next few days. Don't let anything go wrong."

The palace maid said yes.

Only Meng Zhaoge and Concubine Lan were left in the palace. Meng Zhaoge asked tentatively, "Are you not going to send my sister away?"

Concubine Lan sneered, "If we send her out like this, outsiders will know that she was injured in Wan'an Palace. It's better to let her recover and leave by herself. Anyway, the Meng family will think she lives in Prince Jing's Mansion."

"Besides, keeping her for a few more days can scare her and make her stop thinking about things she shouldn't be thinking about."

Meng Zhaoge immediately flattered her: "Mother is smart, and my daughter-in-law can't even compare to her."

……

In the evening, Meng Changning woke up in the side pavilion of Wan'an Hall.

She thought she would see her kind and amiable mother, but what she saw was not the room she was familiar with.

How is this going?

"Someone come, someone come!" she screamed in horror.

A palace maid walked in impatiently and scolded: "This is Wan'an Palace, not your Meng family, stop making noise!"

"Why not the Meng family?" Meng Changning asked in astonishment: "I'm injured like this, why don't you ask me to go home?"

Palace maid: "The queen said that you should stay in Wan'an Palace to recover from your injuries."

"I don't want to stay here, call Lan Fei to me, I don't want to stay here!" Meng Changning shouted in despair.

She had been beaten half to death, but Concubine Lan and Meng Zhaoge still wouldn't let her go?

"Why are you making a fuss? It's your blessing to recuperate in the palace." The palace maid thought she was crazy, frowned, turned around and walked out.

Meng Changning screamed: "Come back, come back!"

However, the door closed so ruthlessly.

There was silence. Meng Changning knew that she could not leave at all. She lay on the bed in pain, gritting her teeth.

"Meng Zhaoge, I will make sure that you die without a burial place." She shed tears and cursed fiercely.

……

The next day, Meng Zhaoge took Mo Huan back to the palace, saying that the palace could not be left without a manager.

Concubine Lan specifically asked Nanny Fang to send her away to show her respect.

Nanny Fang was an old lady close to Concubine Lan, and everyone in the palace knew Nanny Fang. When they saw that it was she who personally sent Meng Zhaoge back, they all realized one thing in their hearts: Concubine Lan was going to support the princess.

Therefore, Meng Zhaoge was able to handle affairs much more smoothly in the next few days.

In the past, few of her subordinates obeyed her. There was a missing corner of a flower bed in Meiyuan, and no one came to fix it after she called three times.

This is because a woman's status in her husband's family, apart from relying on the prestige of her natal family, depends entirely on whether her husband and mother-in-law value her.

But Meng Zhaoge had never had one before.

Her parents don't love her, her husband hates her, and her mother-in-law despises her even more.

Now, although Concubine Lan was only nice to her in order to suppress Meng Changning, her life was finally better.

As the days passed, Meng Changning was kept in Wan'an Palace, and Yuwen Qi still hadn't returned from Xianchuan.

Meng Zhaoge was looking forward to his return, expecting him to go crazy after knowing what happened to Meng Changning.

When he gets mad, he makes mistakes.

As autumn passed and winter came, on the day before the Winter Mu Festival, Meng Zhaoge had another dream.

In her dream, there was a lively palace banquet. She saw herself, wearing a blue dress, walking on a secluded path.

When passing by a rockery, a fat figure suddenly jumped out.

She screamed loudly in fear, but her mouth was covered by the fat man. He pouted his greasy lips and tried to kiss her.

In the dream, she punched and kicked the man with all her strength. The man was annoyed by her and quickly slapped her.

She was beaten unconscious, and the fat man went even further by throwing her to the ground and trying to force himself on her.

But at this moment, a figure in guard uniform suddenly rushed over, picked up a stone, and smashed it hard on the man's head.

The fat man quickly fell to the ground with blood all over his head.

The guard who beat him seemed to realize belatedly that he had made a huge mistake, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

But afterwards, he did not try to save the fat man, but knelt on one knee beside her.

Then, he pulled up her collar that had been torn off.

Meng Zhaoge woke up.

She didn't know that her eyes were already blurred with tears. She touched the tears on her cheeks and stood up suddenly.

The first half of the dream actually happened - at a palace banquet, she was tricked by Meng Changning into going to the remote South Garden, where she was molested by Prince Yong, Yuwen Fei.

But this was the first time she saw the second half of the dream.

Because that day she was knocked unconscious while struggling, and when she woke up, she was already in Prince Jing's Mansion.

The maid told her that she was attacked by an assassin and that Prince Yong was killed by the assassin.

And now, Meng Zhaoge seemed to be hit by something and felt unbelievable.

Is this a dream or reality? Why does she always dream about a strange man?

Is this guard the same person as the one who buried her?

Meng Zhaoge was extremely upset because of this dream.

But soon, she no longer had the heart to think about the reality of this dream.

Because the next day was the Mudong Festival, a major festival in Southern Chu. Every year, the Emperor of Chu would come to the city tower to hold the Mudong ceremony. Most of the people would also go to the city tower to watch the excitement.

Therefore, half of the guards in the Eastern Palace would be withdrawn on this day to maintain order in front of the city wall.

This is a good opportunity for Meng Zhaoge to meet Yu Wenlian. She has been waiting for this day for a long time.

On the day before the Muchong Festival, she went to a shop outside to make a set of men's clothes.

She was too conspicuous in her attire as a princess, and people outside always looked at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Meng Zhaoge, wearing men's clothing, looked like a thin, fair-skinned scholar.

Meng Zhaoge went to the inn to change his clothes, and then went out and walked towards the East Palace.

As winter came, the leaves of the lush trees began to turn yellow. Under the willow tree by the bridge, a man was scolding a young man.

"You've only been here for two days, and you've already offended our distinguished guest. Go kowtow and apologize to him immediately, or get out of here!"

It looks ferocious, as if it wants to eat people.

"He rushed over to hit me and tripped over the table leg."

The young man was not afraid at all and said fiercely: "You can't tell right from wrong, I quit!"

Meng Zhaoge felt that the voice was somewhat familiar and looked back.
