The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne
Chapter 48 Breaking the Face
"Send someone to the East Palace to deliver a message and tell them that I am not feeling well and am seriously ill."
The old lady also knew that some things this time had disappointed Shangguan.
"We met and fell in love. She's easily influenced by you. Just talk it out."
Murong thought it made sense when she heard it, so she nodded and immediately sent her personal maid to go there.
...
"sick?"
Lu Jingning was studying a map of the northwest. When he heard someone from the Shangguan Mansion come to report that the old lady was ill, he frowned.
Xue Yuan said: "Princess, don't worry, the Crown Princess doesn't know about it yet."
Lu Jingning put away the map and slowly stood up: "Don't let the news get to mother, I'll go there."
"Yes."
After changing into simple clothes, Lu Jingning went to Shangguan Mansion with Xue Yuan and several guards.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Shangguan Mansion.
The curtain was lifted, and Lu Jingning bent down and got off the carriage.
"Princess?"
The butler, who had been waiting at the door, was stunned for a moment when he saw the visitor, then looked inside, trying to see if there was anyone else inside.
Lu Jingning raised his chin and said, "Don't look for it. There's nothing else."
The housekeeper looked embarrassed and bowed to Lu Jingning: "May the princess be well and safe."
"Let's go!" Lu Jingning stepped onto the stairs and walked towards the courtyard step by step.
Seeing this, the butler behind him quickly patted the servant beside him and said, "Go and tell the madam."
"Yes."
In the main room, Murong ordered the maid to prepare the Longjing tea before the rain, and said, "Add rose pastry and cherry rolls to the mix, and serve it while it's hot when the people arrive."
The maid hurried to prepare.
Murong thought for a while, and then said: "There is also fresh lotus seed soup..."
"Aunt, there's no need to prepare." Lu Jingning's voice came from far away.
Murong looked up and saw Lu Jingning. Her face froze for a moment, then she smiled and walked forward cordially: "
Aning is here."
Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows and after a few polite words, he asked, "I wonder how grandma is doing. I brought the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to take a look today."
Murong followed the line of sight and saw two imperial doctors following behind him carrying medicine boxes.
The smile on Murong's face could hardly be maintained.
"Aning, your grandmother just wants to see your mother. This is a heart disease."
"Heart disease?" Lu Jingning's mouth curled up into a sneer. "Mother has been delayed by quack doctors for the past two years and her health has been damaged. She is now recuperating. The imperial physician said that she cannot be moved at will. If grandma insists on seeing mother, I will go back and ask the imperial physician if she can be brought here in a sedan chair."
These words left Murong speechless.
She dared to guarantee that as long as Shangguan was brought here.
Tomorrow the Emperor of Southern Liang will cause trouble for the Shangguan family, and his saliva will be enough to drown them.
"Of course, the Crown Princess' health is the most important." Murong shook her head and refused, pulling Lu Jingning and saying, "If your grandmother knew you were here, she would definitely be very happy."
Having said that, Murong took Lu Jingning to visit the old lady.
When the old lady saw Lu Jingning coming but didn't see her daughter, her face fell.
"Why are you here? Where is your mother?"
Lu Jingning bent over and sat on the chair, saying slowly: "Mother is recuperating and has no time to come. It's the same if grandma has anything to say to me."
The old lady's heart choked and she glanced at Murong.
Murong winked at the old lady, and the two looked at each other. The old lady took a deep breath to calm down her emotions, and smiled: "Is your mother okay?"
"As long as no one finds fault, everything will be fine with mother."
Lu Jingning didn't give any face at all, staring at the old lady: "Some things should be kept decent, don't tear your face apart, it will make everyone lose face!"
"What do you mean?" The old lady looked at her in astonishment, her face flushed with anger: "Just because of some misunderstandings that day, you bear a grudge against us?"
Lu Jingning sneered. In the past, he thought the old lady was soft-hearted and kind-hearted.
But now she felt that the person was too hypocritical.
"Misunderstanding?" Lu Jingning clicked his tongue twice. Even now the old lady still felt that he was unrepentant.
The old lady looked away with a guilty look on her face and sighed, "I'm old now, and I just hope that my brothers and sisters can live in harmony. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. People are all made of flesh and blood. How could I know when Sister Wan changed her temper? I gave birth to your mother, so how could I not feel bad for her?"
The old lady's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she wiped her eyes from time to time, squeezing out a few tears.
"I have spent a lot of effort in educating your mother. Your mother has been childless for many years, and I have tried every possible way to find a famous doctor."
The old lady paused and said, "I have been so worried all these years. What I hope for is that you and your daughter will have someone to rely on in the future. Why don't you understand me?"
These words were so moving that they made people cry.
Even Murong was moved to tears.
boom!
Lu Jingning placed the teacup heavily on the table with a crisp sound, interrupting the old lady's words.
The old lady looked at Lu Jingning in surprise.
"Aning?"
"These words are just for the old lady to say. The facts are in front of us. Why should we be moved?"
Lu Jingning unceremoniously took off the old lady's mask. She stood up and looked at him coldly: "Old lady, do you want to see a doctor?"
The old lady was so angry that she was choked with anger and her heart was beating fast and she couldn't speak.
"Aning..."
"Madam, please address me as Princess. There is a difference between the noble and the humble!" Lu Jingning said in a deep voice.
Murong was stunned, looking at Lu Jingning's determined and unkind look, and cursed inwardly.
"Princess." Shangguan Si came over and bowed respectfully to Lu Jingning: "Princess, you are right. There is a difference between the monarch and the ministers. It should be so."
Lu Jingning looked at Shangguan Si meaningfully: "Shangguan Sir is very righteous!"
Shangguan Si bowed his waist and looked humble, and said hurriedly: "I really shouldn't have disturbed the princess today, please forgive me."
It is not advisable to hit a smiling person. Lu Jingning could find no fault with Shangguan Si. He nodded lightly and when he lowered his head, he suddenly noticed a fish-patterned jade pendant hanging around Shangguan Si's waist.
She was suddenly stunned.
