Miss Lang was still immersed in the joy of the unexpected turn of events. She excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Lu Libin's hand: "Brother, sooner or later we will avenge our mother. Those snobbish people in the Shangguan family will never survive!"

Looking at Miss Lang's crazy look, she no longer had the gentleness, grace, education and good manners as before, and she was just like a crazy woman.

If it weren't for the fact that they are from the same mother, Lu Libin would not have come at all.

He snorted disdainfully: "The Emperor has already issued an order for the Crown Prince to return to the capital soon and to select someone else to go to the Northwest Camp. Bu Yan also suggested that my father go."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Miss Lang's face instantly disappeared, and she looked at Lu Libin in disbelief.

……

Ning Wangfu

Lu Jingning was arranged to stay in a quiet small courtyard where no one could disturb her. Yun Zai and Xue Yuan treated her wounds.

Yun Zai saw the whip marks all over her snow-white skin and burst into tears, "Princess, this Miss Lang is too cruel and ruthless. You have been so good to her for so many years, but she is such an ungrateful person!"

Lu Jingning shook his head: "I was careless this time."

She learned a lesson and never trusted others again.

After applying medicine to the wound, Yun Zai helped Lu Jingning sit in the corridor to relax, while Xue Yuan went to inquire about the news. Just at this time, Princess Ning arrived.

Concubine Ning's gentle and demure face showed worry: "A Ning, are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess Ning. It's just a superficial wound. It's nothing serious." Lu Jingning didn't reject Princess Ning, and there wasn't much interaction between the two of them.

But Princess Ning helped her twice.

We are friends.

Princess Ning tactfully did not ask any more questions, and instead talked about the situation outside: "Some things happened in the palace today. The fourth princess died, Minister Shen was granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Prince Shen was reprimanded by the Emperor, and the Emperor ordered the Crown Prince to return to the capital. There was also news just now that the Emperor wanted to send troops to attack Northern Qi."

This string of words made Lu Jingning frown.

She didn't expect so many things to happen in just one day.

"Why did the emperor send troops to attack Northern Qi?"

This was so sudden, there was no warning at all.

Princess Ning said, "Mo Yunyao raped the fourth princess in a dilapidated temple dozens of miles away from the capital, humiliating the royal family. Lord Bu interrogated Mo Yunyao and found out that someone had given Mo Yunyao the border map of the northwest camp. The emperor was furious and ordered an attack on Northern Qi."

"What?" Lu Jingning suddenly raised his head, somewhat incredulous.

What happened in her previous life was actually revealed by someone, and it happened ahead of time. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

What if the Emperor of Southern Liang recalled the crown prince in order to catch him in a trap?

When Lu Jingning thought of the imperial decree of death in his previous life, he felt as if a huge stone weighed down his heart and he could no longer hold back.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so she said to Princess Ning: "Thank you, Princess Ning. I need to go back to the palace."

"But the injuries on your body..."

"It's out of the way."

With such a big thing happening in the palace, how could she sit still? Her mother was still in the East Palace.

Seeing her stubbornness, Princess Ning couldn't stop her and could only let Lu Jingning leave. As soon as she reached the gate of Ning's Mansion, she saw the carriage of Shangguan Mansion parked on the side.

Murong got off the carriage and approached her warmly when she saw her coming out: "Aning, you left in such a hurry this morning that you left some things at home. Now the world is in turmoil, I am worried about you, so I had to come to find you in person."

Murong looked Lu Jingning up and down.

Lu Jingning was wearing a veil and had changed into new clothes to hide her wounds, so Murong couldn't see clearly.

"Aning, are you injured? Why do you smell like medicine? Let your aunt take a look." Murong reached out to pull Lu Jingning's veil.

"Snapped!"

A slap hit Murong's face mercilessly.

Crisp and sweet.

Murong was dumbfounded.

Right at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, people were coming and going.

Countless people stared.

Murong covered her face in disbelief and looked at Lu Jingning: "Aning?"

"How dare you! How can you call me by my name casually?" Lu Jingning lost her patience to deal with Murong.

Since the relationship has already been torn apart, why should she endure it?

"You!" Murong covered her face in grievance.

"You have brought shame to the Shangguan family. The girl from the Murong family is too ignorant of the rules. She even dares to commit crimes against her superiors. What a shame!" Lu Jingning scolded in public.

Murong was so angry that her face turned pale. Being stared at, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Lu Jingning raised his head and stared at Murong with a gloomy look: "Grandmother is sick, but you are not waiting by her bedside. Instead, you are wearing red and green and running outside to stroll around. Do you take your mother-in-law seriously?"

Being accused by a junior in public, Murong had never been so embarrassed in her life. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Princess, it was the old lady who asked me to come to you."

"Nonsense! This morning, someone from the Shangguan Mansion sent someone to the East Palace to report that the old lady was in a coma!"

"This..." Murong was choked.

Lu Jingning raised his chin and said, "The Shangguan family has been in trouble recently. I wonder if some people are not strict in managing the family."

After saying this, he didn't give Murong a chance to speak and got on the carriage.

Murong was so angry that she tightly grasped the handkerchief on the spot, wishing she could tear Lu Jingning to pieces alive, but at the moment, she had no way to deal with him.

"Let's go back home!"

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Jingning closed his eyes and his mind was filled with the vicious look on Miss Lang's face as she reached out and whipped him hard.

There was also a girl who fell to the ground with a big belly and had to have a cesarean section to take out the baby while she was still alive.

Lu Jingning opened his eyes and looked at Xue Yuan: "How long does it take to get to the Northwest Camp from here?"

Xue Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If we ride at full speed day and night without stopping, it will take about seven or eight days."

"Xue Yuan, can I trust you?" Lu Jingning grabbed Xue Yuan's shoulders, his eyes red as he stared at her with a flickering look.

Xue Yuan knelt in the carriage and said, "Princess, I am yours in life and death, and I will never let you down in this life."

"Okay, I want you to rush to the Northwest Camp and tell my father a message." Lu Jingning waved at Xue Yuan and whispered a few words in her ear. Xue Yuan nodded seriously, "Princess, I understand."

Lu Jingning thought about it and asked Yun Zai to give all the banknotes he had to Xue Yuan as travel expenses.

Xue Yuan took it, bent down, dismounted, and walked towards the city gate.

Looking at Xue Yuan's back, Lu Jingning was silent for a while, then took the badge in his arms and handed it to Yun Zai: "Find two trustworthy guards to disguise themselves and go to the Northwest Camp."

"Princess, didn't you let Xue Yuan go?" Yun Zai was puzzled.

"Xue Yuan has only been with me for a short time. This matter is of great importance. I cannot place all my hopes on her alone."

She was afraid of being cheated.

One wrong move could lead to a complete loss of the whole game, so you can’t afford to gamble.

Yun Zai nodded and tightened her grip on the badge. She secretly made up her mind that she would never let the princess down.

Soon Lu Jingning was the only one left in the carriage.

She leaned against the wall of the carriage in deep thought, weighing the pros and cons and thinking about everything that had happened in recent days, including Bu Yan.

There were very few interactions between me and Bu Yan in my previous life.

Can he be trusted?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard voices outside.

"Princess, the Princess heard that you were a little frightened in Prince Ning's Mansion, so she specially asked you to go to Prince Shen's Mansion to calm you down."

Lu Jingning opened his eyes, frowned, lifted the curtain and saw the person coming, it was the maidservant beside Princess Shen.

"Princess, you have always been close to the Shen County Prince's Mansion. You haven't been there for a while. The Princess misses you very much. If there were any misunderstandings in the past, talk it out. As long as you feel relieved, anything is fine. But don't distance yourself from the County Prince's Mansion. The Princess will be sad."

After the maid's earnest persuasion, Lu Jingning thought for a moment and told the guards, "Go tell my mother that I've been invited to visit the Prince Shen's mansion. I'll be back in an hour."

"Yes."
