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

After giving instructions to the guards, Lu Jingning took a dozen guards with her to Prince Shen's mansion. She wanted to see what Helian could say.

When she arrived at Prince Shen's mansion, a place she often visited, someone greeted her as soon as she entered the door.

"Where is the princess?" Lu Jingning asked the maid.

The maid immediately led the way in front.

After walking through the lobby and arriving at the back garden, Helian was already sitting on a small stool in the garden. There were several plates of snacks and her favorite Yunwu tea on the table.

"Aning is here." Helian smiled on her elegant face and pulled Lu Jingning to sit down affectionately: "Why are you suddenly alienated from the Prince's Mansion? You would rather go to Princess Ning than come here. Are you angry with me?"

Lu Jingning shook his head.

These days, the trouble between Prince Shen's Mansion and the Eastern Palace has made both families look unhappy.

But at this moment, Helian's attitude was as if nothing had happened.

"Everyone, please leave." Helian waved her hand and asked all the servants to leave.

Lu Jingning looked alert.

"Aning, don't be nervous. You came to Prince Shen's mansion in public, what else can I do to you?" Helian comforted her jokingly.

Lu Jingning smiled slightly and did not respond.

Helian sighed, "I always thought that Sister Lang was simple-minded, but I didn't expect that she had been taught the wrong way by Concubine Wan in private. I don't know when she hooked up with Mo Yunyao, and I didn't know she was so jealous of you. If I had known this, I would have raised Sister Lang as my own."

Lu Jingning just listened to these words.

"Aning, Sister Lang has indeed done a lot of things to you recently. She kidnapped you and framed you."

At this point, Helian was also furious. She said angrily: "Aning, I support you."

Helian raised his voice: "Bring it up!"

Soon after, two old women dragged Miss Lang over. Miss Lang had obviously been tortured. She lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. Her clothes were beaten to pieces and stuck to her body. The bloodstains were still bright red, and soon the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Miss Lang raised her head and saw Lu Jingning, hatred bursting out of her eyes: "Lu Jingning!"

"Asshole!" Helian kicked Miss Lang hard on the shoulder, furious: "You have brought so much trouble to the Prince's Mansion because of you. If you don't ask for Aning's forgiveness today, I will beat you to death!"

Beg for mercy from Lu Jingning?

Miss Lang gritted her teeth and couldn't open her mouth. The person she hated the most now was Lu Jingning, because she was the one who destroyed everything for her.

"Beat her! Beat her until she admits her mistake." Helian ordered.

So the old woman punched and kicked Miss Lang. Miss Lang curled up on the ground, covering her head and wailing, and was soon knocked unconscious.

Wow!

A basin of cold water was poured down.

Woke the person up again.

Miss Lang whimpered and lay on the ground, barely surviving. Seeing that the old woman was about to punch and kick her again, Lu Jingning suddenly said, "Stop it. If you continue to hit her, she will really die, and I won't be able to explain to the Shangguan Mansion."

Helian frowned.

"Sister Lang certainly made a mistake, but she has been taught a lesson now. Princess, please don't beat him to death. If you go to the government to ask for him back, it will be troublesome if you can't hand him over."

It's too easy to kill someone.

But the greatest punishment for Miss Lang is to let her live in agony.

What's more, sending Miss Lang to Murong family as a daughter-in-law would severely offend the Shangguan family and Murong family.

"Princess, Sister Lang is not young anymore. If she stays in the Prince's Mansion, it will only bring trouble to other girls who have not yet married. It is better to find someone to go to the Shangguan Mansion to propose marriage and send Sister Lang in."

It would have been fine if this matter had not been mentioned. As soon as the reputation of other people was mentioned, Helian became so angry that her teeth itched. She had originally been looking for a marriage partner for her daughter, and although it had not been made public, she had already discussed it almost entirely in private.

An hour ago, that family sent someone to talk to them, saying that the two families were not destined to be together, and that they had already chosen someone else for the young master.

Helian was so angry that she wanted to skin Miss Lang alive and pull out her tendons. What a vicious person!

It would be better to die and save trouble.

"Princess, if Sister Lang died in the Prince's Mansion at such a young age, the rumors about you outside would be even more misunderstood." Lu Jingning advised.

Helian took a deep breath and decided to adopt Lu Jingning's advice. She sent someone to pass the message to the Shangguan Mansion. She glanced at Miss Lang who was in the way, waved her hand, and asked someone to drag her away.

After the people left, Helian finally remembered the serious matter and sat down: "Aning, there is something I must tell you. You must be careful with Bu Yan. He is not a good person. You are inexperienced and can be easily deceived. Bu Yan... is the emperor's man."

Lu Jingning frowned.

"You don't know much about Bu Yan's life experience." Helian said helplessly, "In fact, Bu Yan was born into a noble family. He was driven out by his father's family. He is insidious and cunning, and has some hatred against our royal family. But he somehow caught the emperor's eye and used the emperor's power to instigate several princes. I can't watch you being deceived by him without knowing it."

Lu Jingning did not respond, but lowered his eyes and listened silently.

She really didn't know about Bu Yan's background.

"Aning, did you know that Bu Yan and Mo Yunyao were childhood playmates? Bu Yan was also Mo Yunyao's study partner. The two spent five years together!" Helian asked meaningfully, "There are also two copies of the border defense map. One is in the hands of the prince, and the other is hidden in the palace cabinet. Have you ever thought about how it fell into Mo Yunyao's hands?"

Lu Jingning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a layer of frost suddenly appeared in his eyes.

She didn't know any of this!

"Do you know why Bu Yan was driven out by his father's family?" Helian asked again.

Lu Jingning raised his head and asked, "Is it related to my father?"

Helian nodded without hesitation: "More than ten years ago, the prince was on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi. At a banquet, he accidentally drank a cup of tea brought by a maid, and almost caused a disaster. The maid died suddenly."

"The old lady of the Bu family is not Bu Yan's biological mother at all, but Bu Yan's adoptive mother. She took him all the way to Southern Liang. I don't know how Bu Yan caught the emperor's eye and became the prefect of Jingzhao. He climbed up step by step to his current position."

Lu Jingning raised his head and looked at Helian calmly: "Does the emperor know about these things?"

"Of course!" Helian's face was filled with sadness. She leaned forward and whispered, "Everyone knows that the emperor loves the prince the most and has carefully cultivated him. In fact, it may not be as it seems on the surface. He just needs a cover. Aning, you are young and some things may not be what they seem. Your mother's health is damaged, which may not be related to the Prince's Mansion. It's just that some people don't want the Crown Prince to have a child."

Under her sleeves, Lu Jingning's fingertips were clenched tightly, and the pain made her stay rational.

She just listened to Helian's provocation.

"Aning, how about we make a bet?" Helian smiled at Lu Jingning and said, "I bet your father will not return safely."

Lu Jingning's pupils suddenly shrank.

"I bet the emperor will never send anyone else to attack Northern Qi. This person must be the prince, and the prince will definitely be defeated! I also bet the prince will be disgraced, fall from the altar, be despised by everyone, and his final end will definitely be death!" Helian said solemnly.
