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

Duke Su's Mansion

The guards from the East Palace came carrying a corpse, which scared the housekeeper so much that he hurried back to report. On the way, he met Zhao Sui.

"What happened?" Zhao Sui asked with a frown.

The housekeeper took a deep breath and pointed in the direction of the door: "The East Palace has sent someone..."

"Ah!"

East Palace?

Zhao Sui thought of his mother going to the palace to ask for medicine for him a few hours ago. A smug smile appeared on his lips, and he raised his hand to touch his injured eye.

Once his injuries heal, he will never forgive her!

He wanted to marry her and torture her severely.

Fight until death!

"Bring the person in." Zhao Sui was arrogant. He leaned over and sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and thought about how to torture Lu Jingning.

The servant behind him said with a smile: "Sir, no matter what tricks the princess uses, she will still have to apologize to you in the end. Everyone knows that the princess cannot live without you. She is making a big fuss just to attract your attention."

Zhao Sui sneered.

"That's all you can do. It's not something you can put on the table."

Soon the butler brought the guards in. From a distance, Zhao Sui saw the guards carrying a stretcher, which was covered with a white cloth, so he couldn't see clearly what it was.

His eyelids twitched and he had a bad feeling.

When the guards came in and lifted the white cloth, the face of the miracle doctor was revealed. His face was pale and the back half of his body was covered in blood.

The timid maid turned pale with fright at first sight.

Zhao Sui stood up quickly, staring at the miracle doctor's face, took a step forward, and put his fingertips under his nose.

He is dead!

"What does this mean?" Zhao Sui asked coldly.

The guard said, "Sir, this is what the princess asked me to bring to the Duke Su's Mansion to apologize for my crime."

After hearing this, Zhao Sui was even more confused. Why did he have to send the dead miracle doctor to apologize?

"Today, the wife of Duke Su was attacked by a genius doctor in the East Palace and lost her sanity in public. The princess was so angry that she beat the genius doctor to death and sent him to the Duke's Mansion to apologize."

After saying this, Zhao Sui's mind buzzed, and he looked at the guard in disbelief: "What did you say?"

The guard repeated it again tirelessly.

"nonsense!"

There was a shout from outside the door.

The old lady of the Duke of Suguo came over the threshold with a cane. She had a stern face and angrily stabbed the cane heavily on the ground, making a thumping sound. "Lu Jingning should have a limit to his nonsense. What kind of thing is this? He even dares to slander the reputation of his future mother-in-law. What does he think of the Duke of Suguo's Mansion?"

Zhao Sui saw the person coming and stepped forward to support her: "Grandma, why are you here?"

"How can I not come when the family brings such an unlucky thing?" The old lady of Duke Su looked at Zhao Sui unhappily: "This time, Lu Jingning went too far. It's time to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble he will cause in the future!"

"My grandmother taught me that when she comes home, her grandson will be strictly disciplined."

He helped the old lady of Duke Suguo sit on the high hall and immediately shouted at the guards: "Hurry up and take the things away!"

The guard didn't obey. He put the man down and turned away.

Seeing this, Zhao Sui became even more furious: "As expected, like master, like servant. They are even more ignorant of the rules."

"Butler, ask someone to carry him away." Zhao Sui said.

The housekeeper hurried forward and called two servants to carry the stretcher away. The room was free of the eyesore, and the old lady of Duke Su's complexion improved. She looked at the wound on Zhao Sui's face with distress, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Jingning has lived too comfortably these years. He actually dared to attack you, what a scoundrel!"

Zhao Sui gritted his teeth, how could he not hate him in his heart?

"Why hasn't your mother come back yet?" The old lady of Duke Su asked, "Have you sent anyone to inquire about it?"

For some reason, Zhao Sui's eyelids twitched. He was about to send someone to inquire about the news, but when he looked up, he saw Duke Su walking in with a gloomy face.

"Father?"

Without saying a word, Duke Su raised his hand and slapped Zhao Sui hard on the face with such force that he was knocked to the ground.

"Duke!" The old lady stood up excitedly: "Why did you hit Sui Ge'er for no reason?"

Zhao Sui covered his face in confusion.

"If you, an unfilial son, hadn't provoked Lu Jingning, the Duke's Mansion wouldn't have been humiliated today." Duke Su was originally discussing matters with his friends in a teahouse. When he suddenly heard the news from the palace, he could no longer sit still. Especially when he was returning home, passers-by pointed at him.

At his age, he was still being humiliated. The more he thought about it, the angrier Duke Su became. On his way back, he found out everything that had happened in the palace.

The anger could not be suppressed.

"Lu Jingning has had a bad temper for a long time. She must have been bewitched this time. She can be taught a lesson after she marries into the family. How could she be so harsh?" The old lady helped Zhao Sui up with heartache, looked at the obvious slap mark, and ordered the maid to get medicine quickly.

Duke Su took a deep breath and said, "Lu Jingning will never marry into the Duke's Mansion again."

The old lady sneered: "She has been in love with Sui Ge'er for so long. If she doesn't marry him, could it be that she was sentenced to death by the emperor?"

If he were really sentenced to death, it would be a relief.

Even Zhao Sui thought so. Lu Jingning was brutal and killed the miracle doctor. He must have provoked the emperor, so he was beaten to death.

"Such a person deserves to die!" Zhao Sui said viciously. Without Lu Jingning's obstruction, he could marry Jing Lang.

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Sui's face.

"An hour ago, the Emperor conferred the title of Princess Fenghe on Lu Jingning, cancelled the engagement with Duke Su's Mansion, and granted her marriage to Bu Yan!" Duke Su stared at Zhao Sui, "Concubine Jin Shu was stripped of her title and demoted to Concubine Tong. Prince Shen was also demoted to Prince Shen because of his faults of recommending a genius doctor and employing the wrong people, which led to the Crown Princess' infertility for many years."

Every word was like a hammer hitting Zhao Sui's heart. His face suddenly turned pale: "How...how is this possible?"

"Could it be a mistake?" The old lady also didn't believe it.

"The imperial decree has been issued, how could it be false?" Duke Su clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could smash Zhao Sui to death: "I have long advised you not to offend Lu Jingning before he enters the house. Now you have not only offended him, but also ruined this marriage."

Zhao Sui looked at Duke Su's face, which was full of anger. His tone did not sound fake. His heart sank. "Then mother..."

"Don't mention that bitch!" Duke Su was furious. "Being humiliated in the East Palace is better than dying, so as to avoid bringing shame to the Duke's Mansion."

Zhao Sui was stunned. What the East Palace guard said just now was actually true!

He couldn't understand how things could turn out like this?

And wasn’t Lu Jingning determined to marry no one else but me?

"What on earth is going on?" The old lady didn't care about Zhao Sui anymore and asked anxiously about the cause and effect. Duke Su took a deep breath and said, "Today, the East Palace was thoroughly investigated and the method used by the genius doctor to frame the Crown Princess was found out. Lu Jingning brought the matter to the emperor and implicated Concubine Tong. It was Bu Yan who saved Lu Jingning in the well of Yuxiu Palace, and the Crown Princess asked the emperor to grant them a marriage."

These few short sentences made the old lady's eyes widen: "Lu Jingning actually brought this matter to the emperor?"

"Yes!" Duke Su's fists creaked. "The emperor was very angry this time. He demoted Prince Shen and Concubine Tong, and also confined Concubine Tong to her house. It's clear that he wants to support the Eastern Palace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given Lu Jingning the title of Princess."

"Is Lu Jingning also willing to marry Bu Yan? This man is cruel and ruthless, doing all kinds of evil. How can he be compared to Sui Ge'er?" said the old lady.
