The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne
Chapter 10 Negotiating Cooperation
"Liulizhai does have this rule. Since you are here to challenge the enemy, please come this way."
The waiter respectfully led the person into the embroidery building on the left and went up the stairs to the second floor. Unlike the bustling lobby downstairs, the second floor was more spacious and relatively quiet.
After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time that Lu Jingning came to Liulizhai.
In the past, she had only heard Lu Jinglang say that girls from good families would not come to such a place of fireworks, so in her eyes.
Liulizhai is an unclean place.
But now looking around, the environment is elegant and it is bustling inside. Men and women come in, or sit down to eat snacks, listen to music, and there are even people selling jewelry and fabrics inside.
It's all above board, nothing shameful or dirty.
"Please wait a moment, sir." The waiter ushered him into the private room and went to get the written receipt: "Words are not enough, sir, please write it down, so as to avoid disputes in the future."
Lu Jingning smiled and picked up the pen to write.
The waiter began to explain the rules. The competition was about the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you lost one game, you would lose the whole game. You would have to wait until you wanted to participate in the competition again.
You will have to pay double the silver bills to be eligible to participate, and so on, there is no upper limit.
She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she cannot be the best in the world, she will always try for her mother.
"Another contestant has arrived." Someone shouted outside the door.
Yun Zai quickly glanced around, and after seeing who it was, he whispered in Lu Jingning's ear very quickly, "It's the prince of Duke Su."
"Why is he here?" Lu Jingning frowned, then thought that he must be here to ask for medicine for Lu Jinglang.
He was really generous for Lu Jinglang.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked in from outside, holding a brocade box in his hand and placed it on the table: "Sir, there is no need to compete. Liulizhai is willing to admit defeat. This is what you need."
"Huh?" Lu Jingning was puzzled.
Not only that, the shopkeeper also placed five thousand taels of silver on the table and said with a smile: "An hour ago, someone passed the four levels and won this item. This item was given to the guest in the private room next door."
After saying this, the shopkeeper bowed and walked away.
Lu Jingning opened it and took a look, and found that there were three complete Baogong Pills!
pat!
She closed the brocade box. She didn't dare to accept such a precious thing that was inexplicably given to her, so she took the brocade box and went to the next door.
When I opened the door, a familiar face came into view.
"Master Bu!"
Bu Yan put his fingertips on his temple, and glanced at the person who came when he heard the voice, with a smile in his eyes deepening: "The conditions proposed by the princess yesterday, I agree to."
Lu Jingning was speechless. She didn't expect Bu Yan to get the Baogong Pill first. She asked in confusion, "What effect does this have on Lord Bu?"
In fact, Lu Jingning wanted to ask, how did Bu Yan know that he needed this?
Bu Yan laughed: "After Madam Rong came back from the East Palace yesterday, she sent people to ask for medicine from the elders of the Rong family. I guess she must have asked for medicine for the seriously ill Crown Princess."
Lu Jingning understood and immediately looked at Bu Yan with new eyes.
She died early in her previous life, and she didn't know what happened to Bu Yan.
With Buyan's intelligence, he will surely be promoted step by step, right?
"This medicine is indeed for my mother. Lord Bu's kindness in giving me the medicine today will be remembered by me!"
Lu Jingning bowed his hands in thanks.
"Since the princess has spoken, I will not be polite. To be honest, I do have a favor to ask you." Bu Yan reached out and poured a cup of tea, handed it over, and pointed to the seat opposite.
Lu Jingning suddenly felt that the brocade box in her hand became heavy. She frowned. She didn't want to get involved too much with Bu Yan from the bottom of her heart, but Bu Yan took the initiative to speak.
Thinking that Mo Yunyao was still in Bu Yan's hands, Lu Jingning calmed down and sat down: "Lord Bu is in a serious condition. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
"This matter is not difficult for the princess." Bu Yan smiled slightly.
Bu Yan is twenty-two years old this year. He has been the Jingzhao Yin for five years. He has offended many people and is still unmarried. Over the years, many people have come to propose marriage to him.
It was limited to proposing marriage and there was basically no follow-up.
Old Madam Bu was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep well. She put a lot of effort into finding a wife for Bu Yan, but she was always unsuccessful in finding one that was neither too good nor too low.
Yesterday, the Duke Su's Mansion sent someone to express their goodwill, saying that they were willing to marry the third daughter of the Duke Su's Mansion to Bu Yan, and also sent a portrait to the Bu family.
Old Madam Bu fell in love with Miss Zhao San at first sight and threatened to commit suicide to force Bu Yan to compromise.
After hearing the whole story, Lu Jingning asked, "How can I help?"
"I want to take this opportunity to get rid of this marriage."
Lu Jingning frowned. How could she disrupt this marriage?
When she raised her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Bu Yan's half-smiley eyes, and she became more alert. Then she heard Bu Yan say, "I don't mind being used by the princess to get rid of my engagement with Prince Zhao."
Facing Bu Yan, it seemed that all her thoughts could be guessed correctly and she had nowhere to hide.
She kept a tight face and said nothing.
Bu Yan's expression was gentle, and he suppressed all his anger, for fear of scaring this delicate little girl.
There are only two people in this world who can make him speak so kindly, one is the current emperor, and the other is the person in front of him.
"Why me?"
Bu Yan said bluntly: "There are too many people who want to kill me, I want to find a backer."
"What if the prince's position is unstable?"
"As long as I am here, the prince can only be the prince for now." Bu Yan's tone was light, but his domineering attitude was unquestionable.
Lu Jingning looked at him with contempt.
pat!
Bu Yan placed an iron plate on the table. On the palm-sized iron plate was a word "Ling" engraved clearly.
"I am in charge of 20,000 soldiers in the Military Affairs Camp. If I give an order..." Bu Yan smiled calmly, "It will be enough to ensure that the prince ascends to the throne."
It has to be said that this token is too tempting for Lu Jingning.
She couldn't figure out what the purpose of the person in front of her was.
But at least at this moment, Lu Jingning was still unwilling to offend him, so he raised his tea and said to Bu Yan: "Since Lord Bu has something to ask for, I will take care of it. I offer a toast to Lord Bu!"
Bu Yan smiled, raised his teacup towards Lu Jingning and took a sip.
Before leaving, he took out a black pill from his arms and placed it on the table: "This is a life-saving pill. There is only one in the world, and it is worth a million dollars."
Lu Jingning was confused and didn't think much. As soon as she stepped out of the gate of Liulizhai with the brocade box, she was stopped by Zhao Sui.
"Aning, did you deliberately snatch the Baogong Pills?" Zhao Sui said with an unhappy face: "Lu Jingning, you are so vicious. Jinglang always treats you as her own sister, but you treat her like this. Not only did you drug her, but you also destroyed her last hope! If anything happens to Jinglang, I will never forgive you! Give me the things now!"
"What a fool's dream!" Lu Jingning rolled his eyes. He had never seen anyone so shameless.
He walked around him and went out, with Zhao Sui following closely behind him and blocking his way.
"If you hadn't done such a vicious thing, Jing Lang wouldn't have suffered. You should have made amends for your sins!"
Taking advantage of Lu Jingning's unpreparedness, Zhao Sui rushed forward and snatched the brocade box away, smiling triumphantly: "This Baogong Pill originally belonged to Jing Lang...ah!"
Suddenly, a scream pierced the sky.
