Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 23 The meridians have actually been repaired!

Jiang Yueli asked cautiously, which made Zhou Wei's heart skip a beat.

The eldest princess's behavior suggests that she doesn't think I would back down out of fear of Lu Zhiyan's status.

In the end, it tarnished her reputation for arrogance and domineering behavior, didn't it?

She's overthinking it!

Being a qualified Maloud is to bring honor to the Lord and uphold the reputation of the Lord's family; it is a lifelong mission.

Besides, Malou's life is a life of struggle.

Lu Zhiyan is just a nobody, how could he be allowed to act so arrogantly?

Zhou Wei immediately said, "Princess, don't worry. Although Lu Zhiyan is a great general, he can't compare to our Princess's residence!"

"Su Yunjin invited him to back her up. Others might be afraid, but who am I, Zhou Wei?"

"Upholding the reputation of the Princess's residence is my duty!"

As Zhou Wei became more and more excited, Jiang Yueli secretly thought to herself that something was wrong.

She now has a certain understanding of Zhou Wei.

As long as Zhou Wei speaks up, she will uphold the prestige of the Princess's residence.

We must take drastic measures!

Lu Zhiyan is the number one military general of the current dynasty, brave and fierce. He shouldn't be beaten by Zhou Wei, right?

"You hit General Lu?" Jiang Yueli asked uncertainly.

Zhou Wei shook her head, and Jiang Yueli breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that they didn't fight!

Although Lu Zhiyan is a fan of Su Yunjin, the woman of destiny, he is quite special.

He not only held military power, but also had a deeply entrenched influence in the court.

In her previous life, Jiang Yueli was the eldest princess. Although she was arrogant and domineering because of her status, she did not take anyone seriously.

No one dared to defy Jiang's power and chose to back down.

However, Lu Zhiyan used his connections in the imperial court to impeach her on multiple occasions!

Although it did not cause any real harm to Jiang Yueli, it still caused her reputation to plummet.

He became a scoundrel whom everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty hated.

This foreshadowed her tragic end when she fled the capital, only to be left without help and meet a miserable death.

Even if you can't befriend such powerful figures in the court, you absolutely must not offend them.

Fortunately, Zhou Wei didn't physically assault Lu Zhiyan, otherwise she would have been held responsible for the incident.

Jiang Yueli rarely showed a smile, and slowly said, "We didn't fight..."

Jiang Yueli was just about to praise Zhou Wei for her appropriate actions.

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Wei said, "Princess, I not only beat him, but I also made him kneel before me in front of many soldiers of the Five Cities Garrison!"

kneel……

Did you make General Lu Zhiyan kneel before you?

And in front of his own soldiers?

Jiang Yueli, who had just been smiling, froze instantly.

"you……"

"Princess, rest assured, I told him before he knelt down! He wasn't kneeling to me, Zhou Wei, but to you, the Protector Princess!"

Was it me kneeling?

what……

Jiang Yueli felt a tightness in her chest, as if she were about to vomit blood.

孽 孽!

"How is this possible? Lu Zhiyan is proud and arrogant; how could he kneel down so easily?"

Zhou Wei immediately took out the national protection gold medal and handed it to Jiang Yueli.

"Of course he won't kneel down easily! But I hold the 'As if the Emperor were present' in my hand!"

Upon receiving the gold medal, Jiang Yueli's face twitched slightly.

She vaguely remembered that her father had indeed once bestowed upon her a gold medal.

The Emperor promised: Seeing the gold medal is like seeing the Emperor himself!

This... truly feels as if the Emperor himself were present!

Jiang Yueli never expected that the gold medal could be used in this way.

The image had already appeared in Jiang Yueli's mind.

Lu Zhiyan knelt on the ground in humiliation, while Zhou Wei smugly slapped the general twice.

And in front of all the soldiers!

Got it!

This time, I've definitely offended Lu Zhiyan.

This is utterly humiliating to a man, trampling his dignity and pride into the dirt.

Jiang Yueli felt increasingly frustrated as she thought about it, and gradually began to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing straight down!

Zhou Wei reacted quickly and immediately caught the princess who was about to fall to the ground.

With a swift movement, he placed Jiang Yueli on the bed.

"Red Sleeve, Purple Jade! Come quickly!"

Hongxiu and Ziyu were waiting outside the door. Upon hearing the noise, they immediately rushed in.

Hongxiu saw the princess lying motionless on the bed, her face pale.

I was almost scared out of my wits!

"What...what's going on? Ziyu, quick, go and fetch the imperial physician."

Zhou Wei stood to the side with her arms crossed.

She possessed the unique skill of the Purple Illumination Divine Needle, and could be said to be well-versed in medical principles.

She took the opportunity to check Jiang Yueli's pulse when she hugged her.

Jiang Yueli's pulse was found to be normal.

Zhou Wei was also somewhat confused as to why she suddenly vomited blood.

It can't be a happy occasion, can it?

Hearing that he had slapped Wan Qianliang, Su Yunjin, and Lu Zhiyan in the face one after another, he fainted with joy?

Ah!

Probably!

After all, slapping the faces of the lucky heroines and their sycophants has always been Princess Jiang Yueli's favorite thing to do.

Now, I do things that truly resonate with her.

Wouldn't you be so happy you'd faint?!

Hehe, Zhou Wei couldn't help but smile after figuring it out.

Hongxiu looked at her angrily: "Zhou Wei! You were the only one serving me in the room just now."

"Tell me, what exactly did you do to make the Princess so enraged that she vomited blood and fainted?"

Yo!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei raised an eyebrow.

Is Hongxiu taking this opportunity to attack me?

Unexpectedly, her bravery yesterday did not truly intimidate these servants.

Hongxiu's temporary retreat was merely a prelude to an opportunity.

Now that the opportunity has come, is he trying to kill himself with one blow?

"Which eye of yours saw that the princess was so enraged that she vomited blood and fainted?"

Hongxiu pointed to the pool of blood on the ground and said through gritted teeth, "The evidence is right here, how dare you deny it?"

"If anything happens to the princess, I will haunt you even as a ghost."

Zhou Wei was about to retort with a cold laugh when she noticed that Hongxiu was wiping Jiang Yueli's face while secretly wiping away tears.

That's no different from losing a loved one!

This……

It seems I misunderstood Hongxiu.

The head maid had served Jiang Yueli since she was a child and had long regarded her as family.

Now, seeing the princess's pale face, clenched teeth, and spitting blood, one could see that she was now vomiting blood.

In his anxiety, he took his anger out on Zhou Wei!

Well, thinking about it, it makes sense.

In the original book, both Hongxiu and Ziyu met tragic ends while protecting Princess Jiang Yueli.

“Hongxiu, the princess is alright,” Zhou Wei reassured her.

Hongxiu didn't believe it, and tears streamed down her face.

The princess was a bit arrogant and domineering!

But there's a reason for that!

My poor princess!

Hongxiu stayed by the bedside without leaving for a moment, and wouldn't allow Zhou Wei to interfere.

It wasn't until Ziyu summoned the imperial physician that Hongxiu finally moved aside.

"Imperial Physician Chen, how is Her Highness the Princess?"

After taking the pulse, Physician Chen showed a look of surprise on his face.

She then stood up, cupped her hands, and said, "Aunt Hongxiu, the princess is alright! She just vomited blood, but it was simply because she expelled years of blockage in her body."

"Moreover, upon examining the princess's meridians, I see signs of repair, which is truly cause for celebration!"

Meridian repair?!

Hongxiu and Ziyu were both shocked upon hearing this!

"Imperial Physician Chen, are you sure you're not mistaken? Has the princess's meridians really been repaired?"

Physician Chen nodded solemnly: "I also find it unbelievable! Three years ago, the princess's meridians were damaged, which also affected her heart and lungs. Originally, there was no possibility of repair in this lifetime."

"But when I used my Qi to examine the princess's body just now, I found that her meridians were slowly repairing."

"Although the speed is a bit slow, given time, it may be possible to return to the way it was before."

After Physician Chen finished speaking, his curiosity grew even stronger.

He couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Hongxiu, could you tell me what the princess did to slowly repair her damaged meridians?"

Hongxiu was completely bewildered; she knew nothing about it!

After hearing Physician Chen's words, Zi Yu's heart stirred, and she thought of the jade stone that Zhou Wei had insisted on fighting for that morning.

Now, that piece of jade is in the hands of Princess Jiang Yueli!

Hongxiu couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only ask Ziyu.

"Ziyu, do you have any clues about this?"

Ziyu immediately shook her head and then asked Zhou Wei.

"Sister Wei, do you have any clues?"

Zhou Wei pulled the blanket up for the princess, just enough to cover her hand holding the jade.

"How would I know!"
