"Ah!" Lu Jingning's face changed and he cried out in pain.

Seeing Lu Jingning being beaten, Concubine Wan breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more comfortable. This is the price of refusing to accept a toast and drinking a penalty drink!

"Haha!" Lu Jingning smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if Concubine Shu kills me today. When my father comes back, he will definitely support me. The emperor can choose not to see me, but can Concubine Shu guarantee that the emperor will definitely not see my father?"

The Crown Prince is the eldest son and the Emperor's most beloved son. He was designated as the heir to the throne since birth and was personally taught by the Emperor.

This treatment is unmatched by any other prince.

Because the prince has never experienced setbacks, he is not wary of others.

But she is the prince's only child. If she died suddenly in Yuxiu Palace for unknown reasons, Concubine Jin Shu must give an explanation.

In the eyes of the emperor, between Concubine Jin Shu and the crown prince, there is no doubt that the crown prince is more important!

Concubine Jin Shu's pupils shrank and she subconsciously moved her feet away.

Lu Jingning endured the pain and slowly stood up, looking directly at Concubine Jin Shu: "Before coming here, Doctor Zhong checked my mother's pulse. Can Concubine Jin also kill Doctor Zhong?"

"Are you threatening me?" Concubine Jin Shu frowned.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, Your Majesty." Concubine Wan stepped forward, but before she could try to persuade her, Lu Jingning slapped her hard on the cheek.

Concubine Wan covered her face and looked at Lu Jingning in disbelief. She actually dared to take action in Yuxiu Palace?

"Concubine Wan, don't forget that the miracle doctor has been sent out of the palace. This matter will definitely become a big deal. So many people in the Eastern Palace are witnesses. Even if I write a confession, it doesn't matter. As long as I have injuries on my body, my father will definitely support me and make the decision!"

This is Lu Jingning’s confidence.

Concubine Wan turned pale and looked at Concubine Jin.

"Empress Shufei was clearly deceived without knowing it, but she was determined to go against the East Palace. Has she ever thought about the consequences?"

Lu Jingning said calmly, "Unless Madam Shufei has some extraordinary means to kill me without anyone noticing, the entire Imperial Hospital will not be able to find the cause!"

"How dare you threaten me?" Concubine Jin Shu frowned, suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Lu Jingning's jaw, gradually tightening her strength.

Concubine Wan came to her senses and said to Concubine Jin Shu: "Your Majesty, why not invite the Crown Princess to come as well? Maybe she knows about this too. If the princess and the Crown Princess write the document together, what will happen if the Crown Prince comes back? The Crown Prince is most concerned about the Crown Princess's face."

"You dare!" Lu Jingning raised his voice and looked at Concubine Wan with extremely cold eyes.

Concubine Wan smiled fearlessly.

"You're right, the Crown Princess might know something." Concubine Jin Shu understood and used the Crown Princess to threaten Lu Jingning to admit his mistake.

Leave evidence behind so that it will be easier to explain to the prince later.

This matter will be over if we just muddle through it.

"Aning, the Crown Princess's health is getting worse day by day. If you refuse to cooperate and insist on making a big fuss, something bad might happen to you." Concubine Wan reminded him hesitantly.

Lu Jingning clenched his back teeth, wishing he could strangle Concubine Wan to death.

Despicable and shameless!

How dare you threaten her with your mother?

"Princess, now that it has come to this, you should confess your guilt alone to save the Crown Princess from trouble. You are the Crown Prince's only child. Even if you confess your guilt and are stripped of your status, what does it matter? You will still enjoy endless wealth and glory."

The wife of Duke Su, who had been silent for a long time, also advised: "Do you really want to invite the Crown Princess to come and make her angry? This is extremely unfilial!"

Lu Jingning pursed her lips and said nothing. She was not sure whether the people from the East Palace could stop the people from the Yuxiu Palace.

Concubine Jin Shu sneered and slowly walked up the steps and sat on a chair. She drank tea in a good mood and looked at Lu Jingning: "You think you are a little smart and dare to show off in front of me. I almost got fooled by you, Rouning, my patience is limited."

"Princess, don't hesitate, write quickly." Lady Suguo urged, and even bent down to pick up the pen on the ground and put it in Lu Jingning's hand.

Lu Jingning tightly grasped the pen, her fingertips turned white, and she felt helpless. She thought that if she was reborn, she could save the East Palace.

But I didn't expect that my power would still be so small in front of this group of people.

"My Lord! This is Yuxiu Palace, you cannot trespass here."

At this time, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the door.

"Go away!"

A "huh" instantly perked up Lu Jingning's depressed heart.

She threw the pen in her hand hard to the ground, looked at Concubine Jin Shu with a determined look, and smiled.

This smile made Concubine Jin Shu's eyelids twitch. Before she could react, she saw Lu Jingning push away the palace maid beside him and ran towards the well in the corner.

He stood by the well and hesitated for a moment.

"Rouning!" Concubine Jin Shu stood up.

Lu Jingning closed his eyes and jumped down.

"Princess!" Yun Zai shouted.

Bu Yan, who had just stepped over the threshold, caught a glimpse of a green figure flashing by, and then saw Yun Zai lying beside the well and shouting, "Princess!"

"Quick, rescue that person for me." Concubine Jin pointed at the guard.

The guard stepped forward.

Bu Yan rushed forward and kicked the guard aside. Concubine Jin Shu was displeased when she saw this: "Bu Yan, you are so brave."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Yan jumped down.

Lu Jingning was rising and falling in the well, flapping her arms constantly with her hands raised high. Her nose was choked by water and went down her throat. Her chest was also filled with a stuffy and uncomfortable feeling.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her and lifted her waist, and she floated to the surface. Lu Jingning gasped for breath and looked at the man with delicate eyebrows and eyes so close to her. His dark pupils reflected raging anger.

"Master Bu!"

Bu Yan held her up with one hand, feeling angry and helpless: "What are you planning now?"

"It's a helpless move." Lu Jingning smiled slightly and winked at him: "My lord, weren't you worried a few days ago that Madam Bu would agree to the marriage of the third lady of the Duke of Suguo's Mansion? From today on, you and I are tied together. Who dares to snatch someone from this princess?"

Bu Yan raised his eyebrows: "What if it's not me who comes down?"

Lu Jingning shook her head. The moment she jumped down, she was certain that it must be Bu Yan!

Today, she wants to cancel the engagement smoothly!

Bu Yan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, pursed his lips and said nothing, then hugged Lu Jingning tightly, stepped hard on the stone wall, and walked out of the well.

Lu Jingning was soaking wet, and Yun Zai quickly took off his clothes and wrapped her up.

"Bu Yan, you are so outrageous! Who gave you the courage to trespass into Yuxiu Palace?" Concubine Jin Shu was displeased.

Bu Yan raised his eyebrows, and after slowly saluting towards Concubine Jin Shu, he said, "I am here on the orders of the Emperor to bring Princess Rouning to question her. I dare not delay, and I beg Concubine Shu to forgive me."
