Chapter 165: Chapter 166 Venting for You

After Ye Yunting left, Chu Nanli’s gaze turned utterly cold.

There was no longer any reasoning to be had with Ye Yunting.

If she wanted them to pay the price, she had to be stronger than them in power.

She told herself that for now, all she could do was endure.

"Something terrible has happened, Lady Yanyan has fainted!"

The maid rushed in, her voice laced with urgency.

Chu Nanli’s heart tightened, and disregarding the pain in her lower abdomen, she hurriedly walked to the front courtyard, only to see Yanyan collapsed on the ground.

She quickly supported Yanyan, taking her pulse while asking, "When did she faint?"

"Just now!"

The responding maid, named Xiaotao, had just been cleaning the back courtyard. It was only after a servant boy called her over that she found out.

Chu Nanli didn’t ask any further, promptly applied acupuncture, then pried open Yanyan’s mouth to insert a slice of ginseng.

With the ginseng sustaining her, Yanyan soon regained consciousness.

She opened her eyes groggily, and the first thing she saw was Chu Nanli’s worried face.

Yanyan felt wronged and wanted to cry.

"Your Highness..." Her voice trembled faintly. She fought back tears, not wanting to worry Chu Nanli.

"What happened?"

"Your Highness, I, I’m fine..."

Seeing Yanyan falter and refuse to speak, Chu Nanli looked at Xiaotao and said softly, "You tell me, what happened just now?"

"Your Highness, this servant wasn’t in the courtyard at that time, and I only heard it from someone else, I’m not sure if it’s true..." Xiaotao spoke softly.

"It’s alright, just say what you heard." Chu Nanli said.

Xiaotao, seeing the Princess Consort so gentle and patient, started to speak more freely.

"This servant heard that the Prince tried to force his way into your chambers, Lady Yanyan stopped him and he pushed her to the ground in anger," Xiaotao said.

Chu Nanli’s brows furrowed deeply. Yanyan’s injuries were severe; it was definitely more than just a push.

Ye Yunting had acted with lethal intent.

"You silly girl, weren’t you asked to go and prepare medicine? Why were you blocking the door and stopping him?"

After she had sent Chu Yi and Zhuang Muyan away, she had sent Yanyan off, fearing Ye Yunting would vent his anger on her.

Ye Yunting was cruel and ruthless, and it was not impossible for him to kill when he was angry.

After all, in his eyes, Yanyan was just a lowly maid, an ant he could easily crush to death.

Yanyan felt a bit guilty. "This servant knew the Princess Consort wanted to ’fight poison with poison,’ so I thought I’d add fuel to the fire by deliberately acting as though I was guilty and stopping the Prince..."

Chu Nanli sighed softly, took hold of Yanyan’s wrist, and said seriously, "Don’t worry, Yanyan. I will make sure to claim all of today’s sufferings back from Ye Yunting!"

Yanyan was taken aback, and tears she could no longer contain began to flow. "Your Highness... what foolishness are you speaking..."

"I am just a servant; it is natural to be punished by my master. How could I harbor any resentment?"

Yanyan had never imagined that one day, someone would care if she had been wronged and vow to avenge her.

She was just a minor maid after all.

She couldn’t bear the thought of Chu Nanli offending Ye Yunting on her behalf.

"Your Highness, I am alright. Your relationship with the Prince is strained as it is; you must not create more conflict for my sake."

The more Yanyan spoke, the more frantic she became, and she couldn’t help coughing.

Chu Nanli gently helped her catch her breath.

"Making Ye Yunting pay might not be achievable overnight, but I promised to take revenge for you, and I will. You just wait for that day," Chu Nanli said earnestly.

Seeing that Yanyan wanted to say more, Chu Nanli motioned for her to remain silent.

"Enough, you should go back and rest. Take a few days off from work."

"Also, don’t act impulsively in the future, understand?"

Yanyan nodded her head.

Chu Nanli helped Yanyan back to her room and wrote a prescription for her recuperation.

After doing all this, she could no longer contain herself and quickly returned to her boudoir, closed the door behind her, and stepped into the private space.
