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

As soon as Liu Xiangling left, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to visit the mansion. Ning Xianyun's heart tightened when she heard the news.

She had just sent people to spread rumors in the city last night, and today the prince couldn't sit still and came to her house.

"The Crown Prince..." Ning Xianyun took a deep breath. It was rumored that he was very cruel and killed innocent people indiscriminately. After he came to power, he launched many attacks on Nanliang.

Ning Xianyun immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Xiangling. While the letter was being delivered, she stood not far away and watched the prince limping past.

It turned out that his leg was lame.

The prince was wearing a light yellow crescent-shaped white brocade robe with a python pattern and a purple gold crown on his head. He had a handsome face. Even without getting close to him, one could sense the hostility in him.

Looking at the Crown Princess Liu Meir, she had a pretty face and was somewhat similar to Liu Xiangling in her eyes and eyebrows. She was dressed gorgeously and wore six phoenix hairpins on her head.

Liu Meir is Liu Xiangling's cousin and the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Liu family. She married the prince in the same year. Now it has been three years and she has a son.

The prince came with bad intentions. He accidentally tripped while passing the stairs, and then raised his hand to slap the guard waiting in the corridor.

"You are such a tactless person, you don't even know how to help."

The guards were beaten so badly that they dared not disobey and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Ning Xianyun sighed. It was really misfortune for the people of Northern Qi that the future emperor was so cruel. When she turned around, she was discovered by Liu Meir.

"who!"

Ning Xianyun paused.

"Stop pretending and come here to me!" Liu Meir pointed at the figure in the distance.

The maid beside her quickly stepped forward and held Ning Xianyun down: "Who are you? How dare you spy on me from behind? What crime should you be punished for?"

Ning Xianyun lowered her eyes.

"The Crown Princess has such a bad temper." The Third Prince rushed over upon hearing the news, his eyes cast gloomily on the maid's hand. His vicious eyes scared the maid so much that she let go of her hand and retreated to Liu Meir's side.

After Liu Mei'er saw who it was, she glanced at the prince's face and sneered, "So this is the concubine who came to get married. She was hiding there stealthily. I was wrong. I thought someone had bad intentions."

Seeing that the Crown Prince remained silent, Liu Meier smiled and said, "It seems that the Third Prince cares a lot about this concubine. He rushed forward to protect her so anxiously. If the Third Prince's wife knew about this, I wonder if she would be jealous?"

It is well known how much Liu Xiangling cares about the Third Prince. Anyone who is protected by the Third Prince is Liu Xiangling's enemy.

The Third Prince raised his eyebrows: "Ling'er is gentle and generous, how could she be as aggressive as the Crown Princess? Crown Princess, please don't alienate our relationship."

The Third Prince had a reputation for being arrogant and domineering outside, but he was always respectful in front of the Crown Prince and had never said a harsh word. He also treated Liu Meir with respect.

Liu Meir was shocked by the sudden rebuke. Could this guy be crazy?

"Third Prince, how dare you speak to me like that?" Liu Mei'er's breathing tightened, and she turned to the Crown Prince and said aggrievedly, "Your Highness, I was just joking. The Third Prince is slandering me."

If someone is intent on finding fault, then no matter what they say or do, it will be wrong.

The Crown Prince answered unhappily, "Is the Third Prince committing an act of disobedience?"

They didn't call each other brothers, only used cold titles. Ning Xianyun didn't expect that the relationship between the two brothers was so bad.

"The Crown Prince brought the Crown Princess to question me, beat up the guards, and had the maids humiliate my concubine. The Crown Princess used rude words to sow discord. What's wrong with me protecting Ling'er?"

Liu Xiangling, who had hurried over, happened to hear these words. She was deeply moved and walked over quickly, holding the Third Prince with one hand. "Your Highness, calm down. My sister was spoiled when she was at home. Why do you have to argue with her?"

Liu Xiangling looked at Liu Meir with the attitude of an elder sister, "Sister, this is your fault. How could you sow discord between my sister and my brother-in-law?"

Liu Meier frowned: "Third Prince's Consort, you are overstepping your authority."

"Why, just because you married the prince, we are no longer sisters?" Liu Xiangling looked extremely sad: "You really make me sad."

Apart from being a little stubborn about marriage, Liu Xiangling is superior to Liu Meir in status, appearance, conversation and means.

It was not the first time that the two sisters were not on good terms, but every time Liu Xiangling was advised by the Third Prince to be patient, so she always gave in.

Now that everyone has fallen out, Liu Xiangling has nothing to worry about.

With just a few words, Liu Meir's face turned red and she looked extremely angry. The prince gave her a cold look.

It seemed as if he was disgusted with Liu Meir's uselessness.

She gritted her teeth in anger, wishing she could rush forward and tear Liu Xiangling's mouth apart. She turned around and vented her anger on Ning Xianyun: "Concubine Ning is the Third Prince's savior, why are you dressed so poorly? Did the Third Prince's wife treat you badly? Tell me and I'll make the decision for you."

Seeing the war spread, Ning Xianyun looked down at her clothes with an innocent look on her face: "Excuse me, Crown Princess, is there anything wrong with the way I dress?"

It's just a little plain, not naked.

She raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her temples: "The Third Prince's wife is straightforward. She gave me a hairpin on the first day I entered the palace. When I returned yesterday, she prepared a large cart of gifts. If this is unfair treatment, I wonder how the Crown Princess treats the concubine?"

After being retorted by Ning Xianyun, Liu Meir's face suddenly darkened.

Phew!

Liu Xiangling was very satisfied with Ning Xianyun's words and patted the back of her hand: "The prince has no concubines."

"Ah?" Ning Xianyun was surprised and bowed to Liu Meir: "Please forgive me, Crown Princess. I have not been in the capital for a long time and I don't know what is going on in Kyoto. I thought that given the status of the crown prince, he would have at least two or three concubines."

Then Ning Xianyun looked as if she had suddenly realized something: "Then the prince must have a strong relationship with the princess, just like the prince and princess of Nanliang, who only care about one person."

When mentioning the Crown Prince of Nanliang, Ning Xianyun clearly noticed that the Crown Prince's breathing tightened.

"The Crown Prince of Nanliang married the daughter of the Shangguan family as his consort. He had no concubines for more than ten years. Later, he took Han as his concubine, but it was only because she saved his life."

The three words "Concubine Han" completely ignited the prince's anger. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were as fierce as a wolf, staring at Ning Xianyun fiercely.

Ning Xianyun was so frightened that she trembled, holding the beads in her hand and chanting "Amitabha".

Fortunately, the prince did nothing. He turned around and glanced at Liu Meir: "Go back!"

A group of people left in a mighty manner.

Ning Xianyun blinked and looked at Liu Xiangling innocently: "Princess, did I... did I say something wrong?"

Liu Xiangling was in a good mood, with the corners of her mouth curled up: "The Crown Princess of Northern Qi is not as lucky as the Crown Princess of Southern Liang. Although the Crown Prince has no concubines, he has many concubines in the palace."

"Ah?" Ning Xianyun pretended to be surprised and patted his chest.

During this period, Ning Xianyun didn't even look at the Third Prince, and the two didn't even communicate with each other. The Third Prince did the same.

The third prince only spoke to Liu Xiangling.

It was as if Ning Xianyun was a transparent person.

After the farce was over, Liu Xiangling went to the Liu family again. She was called back halfway through her journey and returned to the carriage.

The maid said, "Concubine Ning saw the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess coming on her way back to Lanyue Pavilion from the back garden, and sent someone to tell you. Your Highness asked the housekeeper to notify them to come and welcome him, and Your Highness never even glanced at Concubine Ning, but instead protected you everywhere."

A smile appeared on Liu Xiangling's face.

"Master, Concubine Yining is so dull and ugly that His Highness doesn't like her at all. You don't have to worry too much."

"I'm overthinking it."

Liu Xiangling shook her head, thinking of Liu Meir's arrogance, and couldn't help but hold her breath: "I have kept her under me since she was born. If I hadn't handed over the position of Crown Princess to her, she wouldn't have had the blessing of sitting on the throne of Crown Princess and showing off in front of me for three whole years. It was really aggrieved!"

When Liu Xiangling thought that Liu Meir's status would rise and she would become the queen in the future, and she would have to kneel down and kowtow to pay her respects, she felt very upset.

"Princess Princess, things are not settled yet. It is not necessarily the Crown Princess who will have the last laugh. Isn't Nanliang an example? Who would have thought that the one who would ascend the throne in the end would be the Crown Prince's daughter?" The maid comforted her.
