C9 Torture in the Rain

"Who dares to come to Phoenix Palace and make a ruckus?!"

Lianye opened the curtain and saw a palace maid running over. She was running so fast that her hair was about to fall off.

Her feet slipped and she fell heavily in front of the door. However, she was still begging, "Help!"

"Empress, please go and see our master. If you don't go and save our master, he will die!"

Lianye hesitantly turned her head to look at Yun Zhiyu's meaning.

She remembered that the Empress hated it when the servants were noisy. It would be good if the palace maid didn't get beaten up later.

Unexpectedly, Yun Zhiyu raised her gaze and said without the slightest bit of disgust, "Let her in."

"Yes." A trace of astonishment flashed across Lianye's heart, and she immediately pulled open the curtain again, "Hurry up and come in!"

Without saying a word, the little maid crawled in, knelt on the ground with a thump, and cried, "Empress, Worthy Lady Lan, she, she is about to be beaten to death by Noble Consort Hui. Hurry up and save Worthy Lady Lan!"

Worthy Lady Lan? Lianye thought for a moment and immediately frowned.

There was indeed such a person in the palace, but this Worthy Lady Lan was not someone easy to get along with.

Worthy Lady Lan was from the Divine Apricot Tree Family. She was very arrogant and had never cared about the hypocrisy of the people in the palace. She was even more straightforward and straightforward.

Her personality was already very unpleasant, but she was an upright person. Ever since she entered the palace, she had offended many concubines in the palace.

Now that she had offended Noble Consort Hui, it was not a strange thing. With her personality, sooner or later she would suffer a loss.

It was really not a smart thing to wipe Noble Consort Hui's face for her, Lianye thought. The Empress would most likely chase away this little palace maid.

However, what she did not expect was that Yun Zhiyu actually stood up.

The shock in Lianye's heart couldn't help but become even stronger as she quickly took out her cloak and umbrella.

As she approached the Parasol Tree Pavilion, Yun Zhiyu heard the cries and pleas from inside.

When she entered the Parasol Tree Pavilion, Yun Zhiyu immediately saw a shocking scene.

Worthy Lady Lan was already in a semi-conscious state, lying in the cold rain. Her slender fingers were swollen and festering, her hair was messy, and a trickle of blood was flowing down the corner of her mouth. She was still muttering, "It's not me... It's not me..."

The servants beside Worthy Lady Lan had already knelt on the ground, all of them kneeling and crying for mercy. However, Noble Consort Hui, who was sitting steadily under the eaves, did not let go from beginning to end.

Yun Zhiyu raised her eyes and bumped into Noble Consort Hui. The corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile. We meet again.

Noble Consort Hui was once one of the people she hated the most.

She was average-looking and mediocre in terms of talent. There was nothing praiseworthy about her. She just relied on the power of her mother's family to have an unrestrained ambition.

Everyone in the palace knew that Noble Consort Hui's ambition to become the queen was almost written on her face.

At this moment, Noble Consort Hui was sitting upright under the eaves, dressed extremely elegantly. When she saw Yun Zhiyu arrive, she stood up with a smile on her face. She seemed to be respectful, but there seemed to be a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

"How did this matter alarm the Empress?" Noble Consort Hui said with a fake smile, "It's my fault."

Yun Zhiyu looked at Worthy Lady Lan's miserable state and said: "Using private property is against the rules of the palace. Doesn't Noble Consort Hui know that?"

"This can't be considered as me using private means. After all, this matter concerns the royal bloodline."

Yun Zhiyu laughed, "I would like to hear what it is that makes Noble Consort Hui so angry."

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, today was the day of death for Worthy Lady Lan.

Phoenix Palace. Before Worthy Lady Lan died, her palace maid had also asked for help from him. However, at that time, he did not care about the life of a small noble person.

Later, he heard of Worthy Lady Lan's death.

At that time, she did not know how and why Worthy Lady Lan had died, but only found out later.

But the current Yun Zhiyu only had one thing in her heart, she could not let Worthy Lady Lan die like she did in her previous life!
