They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

At the same time, on the other side, after Lu Qingshuang entered the inner courtyard, she did not go to the Wutong Courtyard immediately, but returned to the main courtyard first.

When Lu Qingshuang saw the old woman suddenly rushing out, she realized that something had happened.

But she wasn't too worried.

Recently, her relationship with Prince Jing was good, and the couple cooperated very well at the palace banquet. In addition, the Lu family had also made a lot of efforts for Prince Jing recently, and she, the Princess of Jing, also got along well with the ladies in the palace, and the young prince was praised by the emperor.

This was the first time she had been so high-spirited since she married Prince Jing. Even the most calm person would inevitably feel a little proud.

In Lu Qingshuang's opinion, even if something really happened to Jiang Wanyue, it would not implicate her.

Therefore, Lu Qingshuang was not in a hurry to go to Wutong Courtyard.

But soon, the development of things was beyond her expectations.

She returned to the main courtyard and found that Nanny Lu was not there, so she called Huamei and the others to ask.

Before the maids could speak, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, Rong An rushed into the yard with his men.

Lu Qingshuang frowned, pushed the door open and walked out.

"How dare you! Rong An, what are you going to do?!"

Rong An bowed and saluted.

"In reply to the princess, I am following the prince's order to bring Madam Lu to question her."

Lu Qingshuang glanced at the servants behind Rong An and her face suddenly darkened.

"Is this the prince's order?"

Rong An bent even lower.

"Yes, Aunt Jiang from Wutong Courtyard was murdered and is in imminent danger. The prince is furious."

"Ridiculous! What does Aunt Jiang's accident have to do with Madam Lu? Could it be that the prince is suspicious of me?"

Lu Qingshuang laughed angrily.

"Why would the princess think so? The prince has no such intention. He just wants to ask Madam Lu about something, not to accuse her. Do you know where Madam Lu is now?"

Rong An was very humble and spoke in a respectful tone, and there was nothing wrong with him, leaving Lu Qingshuang no room to object.

Lu Qingshuang pursed her lips.

"Madame Lu isn't here. I'm looking for her too."

Rong An raised his eyes and glanced at the few maids who stayed behind. After a brief consideration, he felt that Xiuchun's life was more important, so he did not stay any longer. After apologizing, he left with his people.

As soon as he left, Bailing, who had been hiding behind him, finally couldn't help it and fell to her knees with a plop.

"I am guilty..."

Lu Qingshuang's eyelids twitched.

"Where is Madam Lu?"

Looking at the expressions of these maids, she knew without asking that it must be Nanny Lu who had done something with them.

For the first time, Lu Qingshuang felt annoyed and dissatisfied with her wet nurse.

Even if something really happened, couldn't we wait until she came back before taking action?

Bai Ling's voice trembled a little.

"My Lord, Madam Lu is in the Chaiyuan in the northwest corner. She is currently executing Xiuchun, who is beside Madam Jiang..."

"What? Execution?"

Lu Qingshuang raised her voice.

"What happened!"

Several maids started talking to each other.

"Madame Lu said she heard that Concubine Jiang was pregnant and believed she was a threat, so she planned to take action tonight."

"Mammy had someone tamper with Concubine Jiang's medicine, hoping to abort her pregnancy, and she also had someone stop the maid over there. That Xiuchun broke into the second gate, and Mammy Lu wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of her."

"The servants have advised her, but she won't listen..."

Several maids were very anxious.

Lu Qingshuang took a deep breath.

"idiot!"

She didn't expect that she had been out for only half a day and Madam Lu had caused such a big mess.

Beating and killing a maid was nothing, but if Jiang Wanyue really had a miscarriage or died, the trust she had worked so hard to build up with the prince would probably collapse immediately.

The prince must have known what happened by now.

Lu Qingshuang twisted the base of her left hand, forcing herself to calm down.

"The prince only asked Rong An to come to Lu Ma Ma to question her, not to accuse her. It seems that Madam Jiang is fine. The prince went to Wutong Courtyard as soon as he came back, which shows how much he values ​​Madam Jiang. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to resolve."

She whispered to herself, her mind racing.

"No! We can't let Madam get captured... Lily! Quickly send someone back to the Lu Mansion to inform my mother and have the Lu family send someone over."

Lily didn't say anything, just took the pair of cards and went out.

The Lu Mansion was some distance from the Jing Prince's Mansion, two streets away. On weekdays, it would be very quick to get there by horseback or sedan chair.

But it was almost midnight and the streets were quiet. If he wanted to go to Lu's Mansion to report the news without alerting Prince Jing, he could only walk. It would take until dawn to get news after going back and forth and reporting.

Lu Qingshuang straightened her clothes and said, "Huamei, Dujuan, follow me to the Wutong Courtyard."

The two maids followed immediately.

Du Juan couldn't help asking, "Master, aren't we going to inform Madam? Madam doesn't know yet that you and the prince are back."

"It's too late." Lu Qingshuang walked quickly. "Old Rong'an is fast, he should have found Madam by now. The prince is angry, if I continue to protect Madam, it will only make him angrier. If we want to save Madam, we have to calm him down as soon as possible, and we can't beg for mercy."

Soon, the group arrived at the Wutong Courtyard.

When the princess arrived, the servants of Wutong Courtyard did not dare to stop her. They opened the door respectfully and let her in.

At this moment, Doctor Zeng just came out.

When Lu Qingshuang saw him, her face showed concern.

"Doctor Zeng, how is Aunt Jiang doing? Is everything okay?"

"His life is safe for now, but I don't know what will happen in the future."

Doctor Zeng's answer was ambiguous. After he finished speaking, he bowed hastily and left.

Lu Qingshuang frowned.

She really disliked Zeng Tai, he was very rude.

But she couldn't care less about that for the moment, she pushed the door open and walked in.

"Your Majesty?"

She didn't see Prince Jing.

However, he heard some noise in the inner room, so he turned and walked towards the inner room.

Then, the figure of Prince Jing appeared.

Then, Lu Qingshuang paused.

She saw Prince Jing sitting beside the bed, looking down at Jiang Wanyue with her eyes closed, one hand tightly holding Jiang Wanyue's hand, and whispering something.

The expression on his face was something Lu Qingshuang had never seen before.

She had never seen him so gentle.

Lu Qingshuang stood by the screen cabinet door, looking dazed, and for a moment she was afraid to move forward.

The next moment, she came to her senses and realized what she had seen. In an instant, endless uneasiness filled her heart.

And, panic.

Is Prince Jing in love with Jiang Wanyue?
