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

"Rebellious son!" The Emperor of Southern Liang shouted loudly, his chest heaving with anger. He covered his heart tightly and glared at Prince Shen, as if he was going to kill him.

Prince Shen kowtowed repeatedly to apologize: "Father, I was really framed. You must believe me."

Everyone in the Imperial Hospital testified that there was nothing wrong with Prince Shen's health.

Prince Shen gritted his teeth.

He underestimated the person who planned it, and he even bribed everyone in the Imperial Hospital.

"Your Majesty, Prince Shen may have made a mistake involuntarily."

A disgusting voice came from behind him.

Bu Yan walked in slowly, with dozens of ministers around him. They stared at Prince Shen with strange eyes.

Contempt, ridicule, contempt...

It seemed as if he was saying that a dignified prince actually dared to cause chaos in the harem!

Prince Shen suddenly raised his head and looked at the ministers around him. He was in a state of confusion for a moment and blamed himself for being too careless and being fooled without any knowledge.

After reading the blood letter, the Emperor of Southern Liang threw it on the ground with an angry look on his face.

Upon seeing this, Prince Shen hurriedly took it and had a look. It was a small mistake, but she almost fainted from anger after reading it. It was actually written in blood that it was the cold lotus grass that Prince Shen gave her, and that the cold lotus grass would add fragrance and increase appetite. This was the secret of the world-famous restaurant.

In order to gain favor, Concubine De took the matter seriously and made soup for her every day.

Who would have thought that the Emperor of Southern Liang would drink it and become poisoned on the spot.

"It's not me!" Prince Shen denied flatly: "Father, it's really not me. How dare I murder you? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"The prince may be impatient and thinks that the emperor is unfair, as he rewarded the eldest princess, Prince Ning, and the young prince, but demoted you. He is jealous and there is a scapegoat who delivers medicine for you. If this succeeds, your chances of winning will be greater. After all, the prince is the oldest among the princes and is very popular." Bu Yan said.

Prince Shen wanted to sew Bu Yan's mouth shut and glared at him angrily: "Nonsense!"

"Then can Prince Shen explain why Concubine De wrote this blood letter?"

Prince Shen was choked with speech.

The officials behind him looked at Prince Shen with great disappointment.

Such a stupid thing can actually be done.

"Someone come here!" Emperor Nanliang slammed the table.

Prince Shen suddenly raised his head and looked at the person above him. He vaguely sensed that something was wrong. His father's voice was not like that, and that pair of eyes was calm and steady, unlike his father's cloudy eyes.

"you……"

"Ouch!" Bu Yan slapped Prince Shen's mute point hard, shouting, "How dare you to disrespect the emperor even today! This is simply treason!"

Prince Shen was speechless and could only stare at the person at the top, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"I'll leave this evil creature to Lord Bu." The Emperor of Nanliang covered his chest and coughed, then he retreated holding the hand of Eunuch Changxi.

Bu Yan bowed and said yes.

The group of civil and military officials had seen enough of the excitement. With the evidence and witnesses caught, they couldn't deny it even if they wanted to. Bu Yan raised his hand and asked the guards to cover the mouth of Prince Shen and take him away: "From now on, no one is allowed to see Prince Shen. If anyone trespasses, no mercy will be shown."

"Yes."

Prince Shen was dragged away, with a look of reluctance on his face.

The hall returned to silence

Outside the palace, all the officials began to discuss privately as soon as they entered: "Prince Shen is so bold that he can actually do such a thing."

"It's all because of the throne."

"Shh, keep your voice down, you're risking your life."

Bu Yan put one hand behind his waist, looked at the officials' backs and pondered for a moment, then said to Lin Qi, "Go to the East Palace in person and tell them that Prince Shen has noticed something today. You must not keep him here, and let the Queen prepare early."

After hearing the news, Lu Jingning stood up excitedly. The identity of the Emperor of Southern Liang was almost exposed?

The night is getting darker

A black figure entered the Ministry of Punishment holding a token. When the gatekeeper saw the token, he let him in without saying a word.

He was led unimpeded to the cleanest cell at the innermost part.

The rattling sound of the iron chains woke Prince Shen up.

He frowned and looked towards the door. After seeing who was coming, he sneered and was not surprised at all. "You went to great lengths to ruin the marriage between the prince of Qi and Changhe, just to anger Concubine De and lead her to complain. You already knew that Concubine De is good at making soup, and she put cold lotus in the soup. It just so happened that the Duke of Qi was summoned and forced to be a witness. Naturally, cold lotus can be found in Concubine De's palace. I was racking my brains yesterday to figure out why it was so coincidental."

Prince Shen slowly stood up from the grass. He had thick shackles on his hands and feet, and every slight movement caused a rattling sound.

He looked at her and said, "Aning, if your father had half of your intelligence and courage, I would have been convinced long ago."

If he had not discovered something strange in the hall today, he would never understand why his father listened to Lu Jingning so much.

Everything was done flawlessly and impeccably.

Even the death of Concubine De and her blood letter were handled just right.

He doesn't even have the right to defend himself.

"Aning, you are so brave that you actually killed the king and usurped the throne!" There was a hint of admiration in Prince Shen's cold voice.

She did what he had wanted to do for a long time.

But the time was not right, so he didn't dare.

If we fail, the cost will be too high.

Lu Jingning took off his hat and sighed.

"Since I've said this, I have no intention of surviving. Aning, tell me, when did you start to be wary of me?"

Prince Shen was obviously hiding well, but he was repeatedly plotted against. His bad luck began after Concubine Wan was discovered.

All this is inseparable from Lu Jingning's contribution.

"Second uncle wants to hear the truth, shouldn't you show some sincerity?" Lu Jingning blinked, looking serious.

Prince Shen laughed with gritted teeth. It was ridiculous that he had been scheming all his life but in the end he was schemed against by the person he looked down upon the most.

"You are so powerful, why would you ask me for help?"

"Of course I have. I want the power of 150,000 troops in Huai'an in the southwest." Lu Jingning said word by word. Prince Shen raised his head and looked at him in shock. These 150,000 troops were his private troops. Even the Helian family didn't know about it, so how did Lu Jingning know?

"I promise to give Second Uncle a quick death and let him go with a clean conscience. How about that?"

These words seemed to strangle Prince Shen's lifeline.

He couldn't imagine what kind of infamy he would bear after his death.

Traitors, murdered the king, seized the throne, and disturbed the harem...

Every single one of these things will be infamous for eternity.

Lu Jingning didn't rush to urge him, and began to speak: "Everything I did today was told by Mo Yunyao. He said that my second uncle had evil intentions and would usurp the throne and kill everyone in the East Palace."

"Mo Yunyao?" Prince Shen was half-believing and half-doubting.

Lu Jingning continued to make up stories: "Second uncle, don't you know that Mo Yunyao is a fake prince sent by Northern Qi to deliberately stir up trouble and cause internal strife? How could the Northern Qi emperor be willing to use a real prince? Lord Bu was a companion in the Northern Qi palace. Mo Yunyao doesn't know Lord Bu. Second uncle, don't you think it's strange?"

After being reminded of this, Prince Shen believed it halfway.

He and Mo Yunyao used each other, and agreed that once one of them gained power, he would help the other to seize power. He didn't expect Mo Yunyao to be so unscrupulous as to betray himself!

"Uncle, why don't you hand over the military power to me? When I have the power, I will definitely send troops to attack Northern Qi!"

This is Lu Jingning’s greatest wish.

The people of Northern Qi were brutal and committed all kinds of evil to the people of Southern Liang, burning, killing and looting. There was a blood feud between them in their previous life, and she had to settle that account.

Prince Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "It's all about military power. What if I don't hand it over?"

"Then Second Uncle should know that murdering the Emperor would lead to the extermination of the entire clan. Second Uncle, don't you think about the other children?"

Lu Jingning smiled slightly, certain that Prince Shen would hand over power.

And I do it willingly.

"You might as well assassinate me directly, why go around in circles like this." Prince Shen generously took out a token from his arms and threw it into the air, not worrying about whether what Lu Jingning said just now was true or false.

Seeing how straightforward he was, Lu Jingning confessed, "My second uncle died in an unclear way. The 150,000-man army will surely rebel, which is not favorable to the situation."

Prince Shen looked at Lu Jingning with admiration, a look of regret on his face, then he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, muttering, "If you dare to say something wrong, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
