The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Queen Gu never believed that Su Yun had no place in Nan Wangyu's heart, even if it was just a brother-sister relationship. If she stayed in the Prince's Mansion, a group of women would be jealous of each other every day, making the Prince distracted from his work, and her son would be able to take advantage of the situation and replace him.

So Queen Gu also followed the Emperor Nan Zheng to persuade Nan Wangyu: "Yu'er, Su Yun was also raised by your mother. She has been well-educated and talented since she was a child. She is the apple of Su Taifu's eye. You are sending her back home now and announcing that she is no longer favored by you. You are not trying to make her remarry, you are clearly trying to kill her. If she really can't get over it and commits suicide, will you still have the face to call Su Taifu 'teacher' in the future?"

It must be said that when Queen Gu calms down, her words can still hit the nail on the head. Nan Wangyu fell silent, looking at Lu Lingxi's painful face, and was very entangled.

Seeing that Nan Wangyu couldn't refute her words, he just stared at Lu Lingxi in a daze. Queen Gu looked like she had everything under control and said with a smile: "Yu'er, what are you looking at the Crown Princess doing? Didn't you say that the Crown Princess is generous and doesn't care about Su Yun and has never embarrassed her? I guess the Crown Princess doesn't have to drive Su Yun out of the Crown Prince's Mansion, right?"

Lu Lingxi really didn't expect that she would be looked at and this matter would be brought up on her again. Since Queen Gu wanted to bring her up, she didn't need to be polite.

Lu Lingxi looked at Queen Gu with a confused expression, "From the beginning, I felt very strange. Why did mother care so much about Su Liangdi? Because of her, she even lost her usual kindness to her daughter-in-law. Now look carefully at mother's face, it seems that everything is traceable."

Queen Gu touched her face uncomfortably and said guiltily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have always been fair in my dealings, and of course I have to intervene when there is injustice."

Lu Lingxi smiled and said, "Whether it is really unfair or not, my daughter-in-law and the prince have already explained it to the queen mother in turn. If the queen mother still does not believe it, you can summon Su Liangdi to the palace to ask her in person, which can also relieve the queen mother's longing for you."

Queen Gu frowned: "What do you mean by lovesickness? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Lingxi pretended to be confused: "Are you talking nonsense? I just took a closer look and found that my mother's eyebrows and eyes are 60-70% similar to Su Liangdi. Could it be that Su Liangdi is not my mother's cousin or niece? Or is it a mistake made by my mother in her early years? Giving birth to an illegitimate child..."

The following words were too outrageous, so Nan Wangyu quickly covered Lu Lingxi's mouth.

Queen Gu stood up in a rage, her eyes went dark and she almost fell down: "You...you...you..."

Then, fearing that the Emperor of Nanzheng might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I really didn't do that. The Crown Princess is just making wild guesses. I haven't even seen Su Liangdi a few times, and I can't even remember what she looks like. It's definitely not what the Crown Princess said."

Lu Lingxi pulled Nan Wangyu's hand that was covering his mouth away and said, "Mother just said that she has paid attention to Su Liangdi since she was a child, and thought she was well-educated and talented. Now she says she can't even remember what she looks like. Why is your talk so incoherent? It's hard to believe." After saying that, she put Nan Wangyu's hand back on her mouth and shut up automatically.

The Southern Emperor knew that Lu Lingxi was talking nonsense. She was angry that the Queen kept tripping her up. However, the Queen's reputation was not something that could be joked about casually, so his tone towards her was a little more severe than before: "Crown Princess! Do not mess around with the Queen's privacy. It is disrespectful to your elders."

Then he turned to Queen Gu and said, "And you, Queen, now that Su Liangdi's matter has been explained clearly, it was you who wrongly accused the Crown Princess and hurt her so badly. Think about how to make it up to her."

After enduring for so long, she finally got the chance to punish Lu Lingxi. How could Queen Gu admit defeat? She wanted her to apologize to a junior. She was just dreaming. So she immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, it is true that I misunderstood the Crown Princess, but I never thought of hurting her. The injury on her knee was definitely not caused by me. And it was clearly the Crown Princess who pulled my ankle first. I knocked over the teacup because of my unstable center of gravity. She knelt on the broken teacup and injured her knee. It was her own fault. It has nothing to do with me. I did nothing wrong."

Emperor Nan Zheng did not believe what Queen Gu said. He knew that there were many women in the harem who could torture people without being able to find any evidence. He felt sorry for Lu Lingxi. He was afraid that she would suffer in vain. He would give her some compensation in private afterwards to comfort her.

But he still had to ask a few questions to get the matter over with. So he asked, "Lingxi, did you really drag your mother?"

Lu Lingxi pulled Nan Wangyu's hand in front of her, put her own hand beside it for comparison, and said aggrievedly: "Father, look at your daughter-in-law, a girl, powerless, her palm is not even half the size of the prince's, how can your daughter-in-law pull the queen mother who is so big? And although your daughter-in-law is younger, she is not stupid, how could she do such a thing as pulling the queen mother in front of everyone? Isn't this putting yourself in an irreparable situation?"

Queen Gu: "You are a military commander's daughter, so it's not surprising that you are stronger than ordinary women. Some time ago, the crown prince was assassinated, and didn't the crown princess save him? It shows that your father taught you martial arts. It's just a drag, and maybe it doesn't take even one-tenth or one-twentieth of your strength."

"Hey! That's not right. My daughter-in-law and the prince were assassinated before, and it was obvious that we were both injured. How could mother be so sure that it was me who saved the prince? Wasn't it that the prince was injured while saving my daughter-in-law?" Lu Lingxi opened his round eyes, looked at Queen Gu, and then at Nan Wang Yuxi, hoping that they could explain his doubts to him.

As for the assassination, perhaps Emperor Nanzheng and the Crown Prince had guessed that it was done by Prince Qi and Queen Gu, but as long as there was no substantial evidence, they could not admit it, let alone reveal any clues so as to be discovered by them.

Queen Gu was a little flustered by Lu Lingxi's question, and she explained in a panic: "This palace... This palace is just guessing."

Lu Lingxi shook his head: "Then your guess is quite unreasonable, it seems that you want to deliberately blame your daughter-in-law for what happened today. Since your mother said that it was your daughter-in-law who dragged you in this hall, and your daughter-in-law dare not admit it rashly, then let the ladies present tell us what happened just now. Your daughter-in-law and the ladies have no private relationship on weekdays, and the ladies will not favor your daughter-in-law. Now, your mother can rest assured, right?"

Queen Gu said nothing, which was considered as her assent.

The Emperor of Nanzheng pointed in the direction of Concubine Guo, and then he remembered that she was the one who sent someone to ask him to help the Crown Princess out of trouble, and she also had princes and princesses to take care of, so he couldn't push her to the forefront and make the Queen hate her. So he pointed to Concubine Liu next to Concubine Guo and said, "You go ahead and say it."

Concubine Liu was frightened. Isn't this just a fight between gods, and the little ghosts are suffering? She didn't dare to offend either the Queen or the Crown Princess. Forget it, she just told the truth.

After Concubine Liu stood up and saluted, she answered respectfully, "Today, the Crown Princess was indeed asked by the Empress to kneel down and listen to the lecture as soon as she arrived at the door. The Crown Princess did not understand why, and argued with the Empress for a few words, but finally knelt down respectfully. After the Crown Princess knelt down, the Empress did not rush to lecture her, but invited us to taste tea, and praised the tea as top-grade, better than the new tea of ​​previous years. While I was tasting the tea, I suddenly heard the Crown Princess shouting loudly, 'Mother, be careful!' I looked up and saw the Empress slapped the Crown Princess in the face. The Crown Princess' forehead hit the corner of the table, but she was still kneeling and did not stand up. I didn't notice the injury on the Crown Princess' knee, and it was only after the imperial physician pointed it out that I knew about it."

Emperor Nan Zheng: "Oh, did you see the Crown Princess pulling the Queen?"

Concubine Liu shook her head.

Emperor Nan Zheng continued to ask: "Did you see how the teacup fell over?"

Concubine Liu still shook her head.

Emperor Nanzheng: "Okay, sit down!"

The Southern Emperor looked at the other concubines and asked, "Did anyone see it clearly?"

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

Seeing that no one pointed out that Lu Lingxi dragged Queen Gu, Nanny Li stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, I was beside the Queen and saw it clearly. It was the Crown Princess who suddenly dragged the Queen, and the Queen accidentally knocked over the teacup."

Liu Lu stepped forward and said excitedly, "You are the Queen's person, so of course you speak for the Queen. I can also say that I was kneeling next to the Crown Princess, and I clearly saw that it was the Queen who deliberately knocked over the teacup, just to make the Crown Princess kneel down and break the porcelain pieces, deliberately to intimidate the Crown Princess."

Queen Gu glared at Liu Lu and said, "Shut up! How dare you servants quarrel in front of His Majesty?"

Only then did Nanny Li and Liu Lu shut up and said no more.
