The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

"What?" Murong's eyes went dark and she almost fainted. She grabbed the doctor's sleeve and said, "Doctor, you must save Qingfeng."

"Madam, the Third Young Master's injury is so serious, there is nothing I can do for him." The doctor was ashamed. After saying this, he turned around and left with the medicine box. No matter how Murong shouted, he did not look back.

Murong broke down and cried: "Why would someone beat me like this?"

Old Madam Shangguan, who rushed over after hearing the news, saw her grandson lying on the couch with his last breath. She dropped her crutches and rushed over excitedly: "Qingfeng, Qingfeng, wake up, I'm your grandmother, what happened?"

The crying sound echoed in his ears, only Shangguan Si's clenched fists made a crackling sound. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.

"It's Lu Jingning!"

Upon hearing this, Murong and the old lady turned around and stared at Shangguan Si.

"I went to the Wen family today and happened to run into Lu Jingning." Shangguan Si's breathing was trembling: "This girl is too cruel. She humiliated me at the Wen family, but I didn't expect that she would be so cruel to Qingfeng."

Murong screamed: "Why did she do this?"

"It's a warning to us." Shangguan Si looked at his little son lying on the couch. His life was in danger, and he no longer dared to gamble on Lu Jingning's thoughts.

He did nothing but go to greet them, but Lu Jingning turned around and beat Shangguan Qingfeng back like this. If he makes another move, Shangguan Yunzheng might be the next one to be beaten.

The old lady was so angry that her heart was heaving: "Qingfeng is her cousin..."

"Mother, things are different now. She doesn't just have the blood of the Shangguan family flowing in her veins. More importantly, she is a member of the royal family, the most ruthless of all!" Shangguan Si was a little dejected. He slumped down in his chair, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Shangguan family had everything going for them, so how could they end up like this?

"No, it's no use. The Third Young Master seems to have died." The maid exclaimed.

Several people immediately gathered around the bed, and Murong placed her fingertips under Shangguan Qingfeng's nose to test.

“Qingfeng!!”

The old lady couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

The Shangguan family was in chaos.

……

The next day, Donggong

Lu Jingning was dining with the Crown Princess. Just as he put down his chopsticks, Lu Lin came over and saluted them both politely.

"Meet mother, elder sister."

"Has Brother Lin eaten yet?"

"Mother, I have already eaten." As Lu Lin spoke, he raised his head and looked at Lu Jingning, and it was obvious that he wanted to say something.

Lu Jingning casually picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth, then said to Shangguan: "Mother, I will leave first."

"Go."

The two left one after the other. Shangguan looked at her daughter's depressed figure and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Aning has grown up these days, and she has become lonely and thin. She is the one who holds up the East Palace."

Lu Jingning came to the pavilion in the back garden and sat down. Lu Lin stood beside him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say whatever you want to say. No need to be so hesitant."

Lu Lin asked in a low voice: "Eldest sister, I want you to talk to Master Bu. I want to learn some other skills. I don't want to be confined to reading and writing. I have already learned these skills."

Lu Jingning raised her eyebrows and looked at the person in front of her. She had grown taller in more than a month and her temperament had changed a lot.

"Eldest sister, I want Master Yun to be my master."

Tutor Yun, former tutor to the crown prince.

Lu Lin's face turned red when he was looked at. He explained, "Sister, I just want to learn more skills. I don't mean anything else."

Ignoring Lu Lin, Lu Jingning turned his head and looked at Xue Yuan: "Where is Miss Liuli?"

"I'm resting in the side yard. Do you want to see me?"

Lu Jingning hummed lightly.

After a while, Liuli was brought over. She lowered her eyes and saluted Lu Jingning: "This servant greets the madam."

"No need to be polite." Lu Jingning asked with a smile: "What has Brother Lin learned in these years? Can you tell me about it?"

Liuli glanced at Lu Lin quickly and told the truth: "To answer your question, this child likes to read and learn to read. He has learned most of the poems, books and characters."

"So diligent?" Lu Jingning was surprised.

Liuli lowered her eyes.

"Just now, Brother Lin said that he wanted Master Yun to be his master. I wonder if Miss Liuli has any idea?" Lu Jingning kept staring at Liuli's face, trying to see something.

Upon hearing Master Yun's words, Liuli's face changed slightly, and she knelt on the ground: "My dear, it is my fault for not teaching my son well. I will definitely teach the little prince well."

Lu Lin looked puzzled, and stubbornly watched Liuli kneeling in front of Lu Jingning, muttering softly: "Mom, what did I do wrong? Why should I apologize?"

"Little Prince!" Liuli said indifferently, "You are only the little prince of the East Palace now. You are not qualified to ask who to be your master. This is a lack of understanding of the rules and a great disrespect. Moreover, Lord Bu is very knowledgeable and has been chosen by the Emperor to teach you. How can you change it at will?"

Lu Lin felt wronged: "Master Ke Bu didn't teach me any real skills. Every day, I learned nothing except calligraphy and poetry. I didn't learn as much as Master Yang did when I was outside."

"Shut up!" Liuli scolded.

Lu Lin's eyes were red from being scolded, and he looked at Liuli in confusion. He was telling the truth, so why didn't his mother stand by him?

Lu Jingning looked at Lu Lin with interest. This child was much more resourceful than she had imagined. She recalled Bu Yan's words.

Instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on yourself.

The human heart is unpredictable. Who knows if this will be the next Mo Yunyao?

Lu Jingning stood up slowly, looking down at Lu Lin, his tone solemn: "Lin'er, you are your father's only son, but don't forget, this is the royal family, the emperor has more than one grandson, there are older and younger ones, more noble and smarter ones than you, you can't count them with both hands, you are not irreplaceable, do you understand?"

Lu Lin didn't expect that Lu Jingning, who was always gentle, would say such harsh words. He was stunned on the spot.

He is the prince's only son. Isn't this identity enough?

The emperor also values ​​himself very much, doesn't he?

Seeing the confusion in Lu Lin's eyes, Lu Jingning no longer had the heart to continue explaining. For the time being, she still needed Lu Lin to support the East Palace for her.

At least before she completely took control of the power, Lu Lin was still the noble little prince.

"Come here, punish each of the servants of the young prince with fifteen boards. If anyone dares to gossip and corrupt the young prince again, I will never let him off easily!" Lu Jingning was furious.

Lu Lin also realized that he was scared and lowered his head timidly.

Seeing this, Lu Jingning waved his hand and asked someone to take Lu Lin back, and did not forget to say to Liuli: "You should accompany him well in the next few days."

"Yes." Liuli stood up in panic and followed Lu Lin.

After they left, Lu Jingning asked Xue Yuan to check if anyone had contacted Lu Lin during this period, in order to be prepared for the worst.
