East Palace

Lu Jingning carefully put away the three palace-protecting pills and chatted with Shangguan for a while until she fell asleep, then he was ready to go back.

"The princess!"

Huamei suddenly came over and took out a sachet from her bosom and presented it to him: "This was sent by Concubine Wan an hour ago. She asked me to tie it in front of the bed for the Crown Princess."

There were a few exquisite magnolia flowers embroidered on the dark green sachet. She picked it up and brought it to her nose and sniffed it, smelling a sweet and unpleasant fragrance.

"Princess!" Yun Zai warned, "Be careful, it's poisonous."

Lu Jingning put away the sachet and looked down at Huamei: "What else did Concubine Wan say?"

Huathrush shook his head.

"Don't worry about this, mother. I know what to do."

After giving instructions and coming out of Linglong Pavilion, Lu Jingning handed the things to Yun Zai and said in a deep voice: "Check what's inside."

half an hour later

Yun Zai stood in front of Lu Jingning, hesitant to speak. He opened his mouth several times and said with some shame and anger: "It is...it is an aphrodisiac, but the dosage is very light. If you smell it for a long time, you will be unable to control yourself."

When Yun Zai learned about this dirty thing, he was very angry. The Crown Princess was already so sick, and yet someone still used such a despicable thing.

"Then what did you say!" Lu Jingning was stunned. She had thought of countless kinds of poisons, but she had never thought that it was an aphrodisiac.

What exactly does Concubine Wan want to do?

She took a deep breath, unable to suppress her raging anger. She suddenly stood up, stood in the corridor, looked into the distance, and clenched her fingers.

The pain in her fingertips kept her sane.

"Princess, the wife of Duke Su wants to see you." Honeysuckle said.

A smile suddenly flashed across Lu Jingning's calm eyes. He whispered a few words to Yun Zai, who immediately nodded and left.

"Rosewood, take the wife of Duke Su to Zhongling Pavilion. I will be there later."

"Yes."

……

Prince Shen's Mansion

"Concubine, the Crown Princess hasn't seen you these past few days and is very worried about you, so she specially sent someone to bring you into the palace to relieve your boredom."

Huamei came to pick her up in person, with a flattering face: "The East Palace is in chaos without you. The princess is just a showpiece, good-looking but useless. Because of you, the Crown Princess scolded the princess severely."

When Concubine Wan heard this, a hint of smugness immediately appeared on her charming face. She snorted coldly, "A young girl who is still wet behind the ears has become lawless because she is spoiled. She dares to plot against Jing Lang. I will make her pay the price!"

"What the concubine said is absolutely right. The Eastern Palace is still waiting for you to return and take charge of the situation." Huamei became more humble and flattering, coaxing Concubine Wan to slowly get up and rush to the Eastern Palace.

Before leaving, Huamei said, "The Crown Princess felt a little uncomfortable in her lower abdomen today, and she almost asked for a doctor, but I stopped her."

There was no need for Huamei to say much, Concubine Wan immediately understood and sent someone to invite the miracle doctor to go with them.

On the other side, Lu Jinglang refused to let her go. He took Concubine Wan's hand and said coquettishly, "Mother, I am not well yet. The miracle doctor cannot leave."

"Second Miss, you don't know, today the princess used some unknown method to get three palace-protecting pills from Liulizhai."

As soon as the three words Baogongwan came out, Lu Jinglang's eyes lit up and he excitedly grabbed Huamei's hand: "Are you serious?"

"I dare not lie."

Lu Jinglang gritted his teeth and said, "What is she doing with the Baogong Pills? Is she doing this to embarrass me on purpose? No, she must be using the Baogong Pills to apologize to me. The prince's words must have worked."

No matter which one it is, the most important thing is to get the things as soon as possible. Lu Jinglang pulled Concubine Wan and said, "Mom, let's go find the Crown Princess."

"Alright."

The mother and daughter packed up their things and rushed to the East Palace.

Yun Zai came to report from the corridor of Linglong Pavilion: "Princess, the people have arrived."

"Just follow the plan."

"Yes."

On the other side, the wife of Duke Suguo sat in the hall of Zhongling Pavilion for a long time. She didn't see Lu Jingning coming and impatience appeared on her face.

"Why hasn't the princess come yet?"

"Madam, please wait a moment. The princess is helping the Crown Princess with medicine." Rendong explained and added a cup of tea for Madam Su.

Lady Suguogong needed help from others, so she could only wait patiently.

Lu Jingning from Linglong Pavilion stayed with Shangguan, lit the calming incense himself, and sat beside her, watching her mother's sleeping face.

crunch.

The door was pushed open.

Concubine Wan led Lu Jinglang in. She came forward hypocritically and said, "Aning, how is your mother these days? I've been worried about her every day at home."

Lu Jingning sighed and shook his head: "Mother's health is getting worse day by day. She just took some medicine and rested."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and looked at Concubine Wan with red eyes: "Aunt, I was wrong before. I was willful. Please calm down, aunt."

Seeing Lu Jingning being humble, Concubine Wan was very pleased. She sighed and said, "It's good that you know your mistake."

"Thank you for your tolerance, aunt." Lu Jingning sniffed, looked at the doctor who followed behind him, and whispered, "Aunt, I have a few words to say to you alone about mother's health."

Concubine Wan's heart sank, thinking that Lu Jingning had discovered something, and she immediately asked everyone in the room to leave.

After no one was in the room, Concubine Wan quickly said, "There are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want to say."

Lu Jingning sat on the bench and sighed deeply: "I don't know if my mother can bear it if she gets pregnant at this age. Aunt, it's a good thing that my mother is pregnant with my brother, but why am I not happy at all?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Wan heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to comfort her: "Your mother is the Crown Princess. If she didn't have a son by her side, wouldn't the Crown Prince be left without a heir?"

The two of them chatted about family matters.

Lu Jinglang, who had been silent for a long time, winked at Concubine Wan, reminding her to take the palace-protecting pills quickly.

"Aning, I heard that you have three palace-protecting pills?" Concubine Wan smiled gently, "Actually, it's not your fault that Yunfu got the wrong medicine. I didn't expect that you would go to Liulizhai to make up for Sister Lang."

Concubine Wan said to Lu Jinglang, "You two will always be the closest sisters. After Aning cures your body with the Baogong Pills, you are not allowed to be jealous of Aning anymore."

Lu Jinglang nodded like a chick pecking at rice and looked at Lu Jingning anxiously, waiting for her to take out the medicine.
