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

Seeing Princess Changhe continue to make a scene, her cousin Duke Qi could not just turn a blind eye and could only clear his throat.

Only then did Princess Changhe realize that Duke Qi was also there.

Her eyes instantly turned red: "Uncle!"

The Duke of Qi felt a chill down his spine and was extremely reluctant to acknowledge the word "uncle".

"Uncle, please help mother. Mother must have been framed." Princess Changhe's eyes were red, and she looked aggrieved.

It was as if the person who was throwing a tantrum just now was someone else.

Changing face very quickly.

The Duke of Qi looked embarrassed.

"Please ask Eunuch Changxi to go to Concubine De's palace and search to see if there is any more Lenghe grass."

Lu Jingning ordered.

Eunuch Changxi nodded and left with a few eunuchs.

The Duke of Qi has a clear mind and will definitely find the Leng He Cao, because Concubine De has already confessed it just now.

Sure enough, a sachet was found in Concubine De's bedroom, and the sachet was filled with Lenghe grass.

Princess Changhe didn't know Leng Hecao at all and insisted that Lu Jingning framed her.

"This is definitely not Mother's."

Lu Jingning was not annoyed, and said calmly: "Wait until the emperor wakes up and investigate again to find out the truth."

Princess Changhe saw that Lu Jingning had no temper at all and thought that he was afraid of her.

She curled her lips. It was rumored that Lu Jingning had such a strong aura that he could shock people.

Today I see that it is just a paper tiger.

Princess Changhe snorted: "You'd better protect my mother, otherwise I won't forgive you!"

After saying this, Princess Changhe walked away with her neck straightened.

There was no anger on Lu Jingning's face, which was completely different from Defei's attitude.

The Emperor of Southern Liang was being rescued inside.

The Duke of Qi was forced to wait on the side, but until evening there was no news that the Emperor of Southern Liang had woken up.

The Duke of Qi could hardly stand up straight and complained silently in his heart.

After enduring the whole night, several princes and civil and military officials came as soon as the palace gates were opened after learning that the Emperor of Southern Liang had been poisoned before dawn.

Prince Shen was anxious to rush in but was stopped by Eunuch Changxi.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the emperor has just recovered from his critical condition and is in poor health. He will not see anyone."

Prince Shen raised his eyebrows and glanced at the tired-looking Lu Jingning: "Have you been guarding here all this time?"

Lu Jingning nodded: "I stayed outside all night."

She bit the two words "outside" tightly, indicating that she had not seen the Emperor of Southern Liang either.

As expected, Prince Shen breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible sense of relief.

At this time, the young eunuch whispered a few words to Prince Shen.

Prince Shen frowned, hesitated for a moment, and winked at the ministers around him.

The minister nodded in understanding.

Prince Shen then left on the pretext of changing clothes.

In the back garden, Princess Changhe paced back and forth anxiously.

She sent people to wait at the palace gate early in the morning just to meet Prince Shen.

"Second brother!" Princess Changhe saw the person coming and stepped forward anxiously: "My mother has been detained by Lu Jingning for a day. You must save her."

Prince Shen frowned and glanced at Princess Changhe.

"what happened?"

He only knew that Concubine De came to deliver food, causing Emperor Nanliang to vomit blood and faint on the spot. The imperial physician found that cold lotus grass was put in the soup, and happened to find this thing in Concubine De's bedroom.

The witnesses and physical evidence are all there.

"My mother was framed. It must have been Lu Jingning who did it!" Princess Changhe swore, and added: "Others may be afraid of her, but I am not. She was so scared by me yesterday that she couldn't even say a word of rebuttal."

Princess Changhe was very proud of herself.

The more Prince Shen listened, the more his brows furrowed.

Would Lu Jingning be afraid of Princess Changhe?

Totally impossible!

He listened to Princess Changhe talking about the commotion she had in the side hall. Prince Shen took a deep breath and cursed, "Idiot!"

Princess Changhe was stunned, and looked at Prince Shen with grievance: "Second brother, are you afraid of Lu Jingning too? She is just good-looking but useless. I used to bully her when she was a child, and she didn't dare to fight back. She can't stand being scared."

Princess Changhe still believes that Leng Hecao was framed.

As long as Lu Jingning is frightened, she will confess, and then my mother will be fine.

Prince Shen looked at Princess Changhe with disdain and warned her coldly, "From now on, you stay in the palace and don't go anywhere, let alone interfere."

Princess Changhe pursed her lips.

"I will say it again, don't leave the palace to cause trouble again, otherwise no one can save you!"

After giving her the warning, Prince Shen didn't want to see her any more and left angrily, leaving Princess Changhe stomping her feet and cursing that she had turned her back on him.

After making inquiries from many sources, Prince Shen finally figured out the whole story.

This matter seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Jingning, and the witness was the Duke of Qi.

What a coincidence?

When he returned to the side hall, the imperial physician came out and he stepped forward: "Imperial Physician Zhong, how is my father?"

"The emperor has taken the medicine and is now well, but he is in poor health and must rest quietly, otherwise..."

Doctor Zhong hesitated to speak.

All the ministers are clear in their minds. The Emperor of Southern Liang has summoned the imperial physician so frequently in the past six months. He must be ill, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Prince Shen had a tense face. He didn't understand why his father hadn't appointed him the crown prince at this time.

Is it really necessary for him to take the position in an unjustifiable way?

"Can I go in and pay my respects?" asked Prince Shen.

Doctor Zhong glanced at the screen and hesitated.

Seeing this, Prince Shen had already taken action. He walked towards the screen. When he saw the Emperor and Empress of Southern Liang gasping for breath on the couch, Prince Shen quietly retreated.

No one left, for fear that someone would take advantage of them if they left.

I waited until night, when the palace gates were about to be locked.

Due to the rules, they had no choice but to leave the palace.

Prince Shen was a little hesitant and tried to stay on the pretext of taking care of the sick.

"Your Highness, if you want to stay, you have to get the emperor's order. It would be inappropriate for you to stay without being summoned." Eunuch Changxi said respectfully.

Seeing that he couldn't fool the enemy, Prince Shen had to grit his teeth and retreat.

Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of Lu Jingning's receding back and felt a little annoyed.

Lu Jingning lived in the East Palace, so if anything really happened he could come at the first opportunity, but he could only wait obediently for the palace gate to open before coming in.

It is slightly inferior in terms of geographical location.

After walking through the long corridor, Prince Shen came to the side of Duke Qi and asked, "Why did Duke Qi enter the palace yesterday?"

Duke Qi's body tensed up, and he replied vigilantly: "Your humble servant... Your humble servant is here to thank the emperor for his great grace in granting Princess Linghe to the Qi Palace."

"Why do I remember that Duke Qi's Mansion had an engagement with Princess Changhe before?"

Duke Qi immediately denied it: "Your Majesty, you heard it wrong. Duke Qi's Mansion has no connection with Princess Changhe."

No matter how Prince Shen questioned, Duke Qi's answers were flawless, leaving Prince Shen helpless.
