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

Shangguan handed Lu Jingning over to Xue Yuan. Her face darkened and she told the people present to take the younger children back first.

After everyone left, Shangguan slowly sat down and squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "Check!"

"Crown Princess, this must be a misunderstanding..." Murong was anxious to smooth things over and gave the old lady a look.

The old lady understood and said, "Let's investigate this matter quietly in private. Don't make a big fuss. If it gets out, we'll be laughed at."

Shangguan ignored him and clenched her fingers tightly.

These two people tried to obstruct her in every way. If she said she didn't know, she wouldn't believe anything. Shangguan really didn't want to think about the incident of snatching the antidote just now.

an hour later

Everyone was still sitting in the house as the effect of the medicine gradually wore off.

The old lady wanted to say something several times, but when she met her daughter's cold and disappointed eyes, she shut up again, could only sigh softly and wait silently.

"Oh no! Something happened."

The maid ran over in a hurry to report the news.

"Speak!" Shangguan said.

"Replying to the Crown Princess, the eldest son kidnapped the second young lady for some unknown reason and molested her in the west courtyard."

"The second young lady?" The old lady thought for a long time. The second young lady had already been married and would not be back until the day after tomorrow.

The maid explained: "It's Miss Lang!"

Concubine Wan's pupils widened: "What did you say?"

Isn’t the Second Young Lady what Lu Jinglang calls her in Prince Shen’s Mansion? This maid is exactly the maid in Prince Shen’s Mansion, so naturally she has to call her the Second Young Lady.

Lu Jinglang was molested by Shangguan Yunzheng. Murong and Concubine Wan looked at each other and felt a little restless. They wanted to get up to check but were stopped by the guards at the door.

"Crown Princess?" Murong was anxious.

Shangguan said solemnly: "Bring the person up."

After a stick of incense

The crying Lu Jinglang and the disheveled Shangguan Yunzheng were brought up, both of them had ambiguous red marks on their bodies that were visible to the naked eye.

There was still some unsatisfied look on Shangguan Yunzheng's face.

"Mother!" Lu Jinglang threw himself into Concubine Wan's arms, crying bitterly: "Please make the decision for your daughter."

As soon as Concubine Wan saw the marks on her daughter's body, she knew that her innocence was gone. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down: "Sister Lang, calm down!"

Lu Jinglang was aware of his mother's plan.

It was clearly Lu Jingning and Shangguan Yunzheng who were involved, so how could it become me?

She came to the dinner party, and her skirt got stained halfway through, so she went back to change. While changing clothes, she felt dizzy, and when she woke up again, she was pressed under Shangguan Yunzheng.

Feeling ashamed and angry, she struggled and kicked Shangguan Yunzheng, and the noise attracted the maid.

"Asshole!" The old lady slammed the table heavily, "Who is plotting against the Shangguan family?"

Shangguan pointed at the tea and said, "The tea was bought specially by Zheng Ge'er, and the water was prepared by Murong. Murong is also the head of the mansion, so mother should ask Murong."

Murong cried out in injustice.

"It has already happened. Instead of trying to shirk responsibility, we should investigate it thoroughly." Shangguan interrupted Murong's explanation.

Now, the Murong family can only bite the bullet and conduct a thorough investigation.

We started by checking Shangguan Yunzheng’s tea, and indeed found the problem. The Yunwu tea had been soaked in Hehuan Powder.

"That's impossible!" Shangguan Yunzheng blushed and defended, "I've drunk this tea before, it's absolutely fine."

Shangguan asked: "Where did you buy this tea?"

"Yes..." Shangguan Yunzheng hesitated. This tea was not bought by him at all. Instead, it was prepared for him by Murong to please Lu Jingning.

Lu Jingning has a very picky taste for tea. He cannot tolerate ordinary tea and only drinks the best quality Yunwu tea.

"Brother Zheng, just tell me the truth. You spent five hundred taels of silver to buy this tea at the Treasure House." Murong came out quickly to smooth things over.

Shangguan Yunzheng quickly nodded in agreement.

Shangguan Shi would definitely see the clues, but she just didn't point it out yet. She ordered in a cold voice: "Take away all the people who made tea, boiled water, and touched tea today for interrogation."

"Yes."

While waiting, Shangguan glanced at Lu Jinglang who was crying. She felt no sympathy, only anger. The person who almost cried here was her Aning.

She didn't dare think deeply.

Concubine Wan noticed Shangguan's gaze and quickly protected Lu Jinglang behind her, like a hen protecting her chicks. Shangguan withdrew her gaze and clenched her fingertips to force herself to calm down.

I do not know how long it has been

During the interrogation of the maid, Meixiang, the maid of Concubine Wan, was also implicated.

Concubine Wan sensed something was wrong: "Mei Xiang would never do this."

Without giving Concubine Wan a chance to explain herself, Shangguan had Meixiang dragged away, making Concubine Wan so angry that her eyes widened.

No one dared to provoke Shangguan when she was angry.

Soon the doctor found the exotic Hehuan Powder from Meixiang!

"Impossible!" Concubine Wan exclaimed. She did take the colorless and odorless aphrodisiac, but it was not the exotic love potion.

What’s more important is that she gave the aphrodisiac to Murong herself, and Meixiang had no idea about it at all. So how could Meixiang say such a thing?

Shangguan was so angry that she smiled and looked at Murong.

Murong realized instantly that this was going to put all the blame on Concubine Wan, and she hesitated for a moment.

"I heard that Prince Shen went to a foreign land some time ago, and he had a foreign beauty as his concubine?" Shangguan asked back.

Concubine Wan was terrified and quickly explained: "Crown Princess, this must be a misunderstanding. Someone is framing the Prince Shen's Mansion and the Eastern Palace. We must investigate it thoroughly. I want to see Meixiang."

"Bring it up!"

When Meixiang was brought up, she was already in a trance, obviously having been tortured. She was lying on the ground with blood all over her limbs.

"Mei Xiang, what did you say?" Concubine Wan scolded anxiously, "Speak clearly in front of everyone, when did I ever give you any exotic love powder?"

Meixiang looked up at Concubine Wan in horror and said, "Concubine, yesterday you asked me to get the exotic love powder from the Prince Shen's mansion and gave it to the Madam, and you also said that you must make the princess lose her reputation."

"Nonsense!" Concubine Wan was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at Meixiang angrily: "Who told you to make up nonsense and frame someone? If it was me, how come it was Sister Lang who got framed?"

Meixiang looked innocent.

"Sister Lang doesn't look like she has taken any medicine." Shangguan noticed that Lu Jinglang's eyes were clear and did not look like she had taken any medicine.

Shangguan asked the doctor to feel her pulse, and it was true.

"That means Zheng'er's medicine took effect and he attacked Lang who came to dinner. No wonder!" Shangguan said angrily, "No wonder the maid couldn't even hold the tea steadily and almost spilled it on Aning's clothes. As soon as Aning went out, she would definitely be dragged away by Zheng'er!"
