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

After sending the two away, Lu Jingning did not dare to stop for even a moment and went straight to Linglong Pavilion to visit his mother.

No matter how hard he tried, he was still a step too late. Shangguan already knew what happened in Zhongling Pavilion. Lu Jingning frowned.

It seems that she still underestimated Concubine Wan.

Shangguan was angry and coughed violently. The doctor beside her said, "The Crown Princess's condition had improved, but now that she is angry, all the previous efforts have been wasted."

Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

"Princess, you'd better be quiet and don't provoke the Crown Princess to anger. Her body can't stand it any more."

Huamei whispered.

In front of Shangguan, Lu Jingning restrained her temper. She sat in front of the bed and held Shangguan's hand: "Mother, I have something to say to you alone."

"Princess, do you think the Crown Princess is not angry enough?" Huamei reached out to pull Lu Jingning's hand. Lu Jingning looked at Huamei suddenly with cold eyes.

Huamei was so scared that her hand stopped in mid-air. She didn't dare to touch her for a long time, and finally withdrew her hand awkwardly.

"Aning." Shangguan raised her hand, took Lu Jingning's hand and patted it gently: "Don't be angry, if you have anything to say, just speak slowly."

Lu Jingning nodded.

Huamei pouted her lips and said, "My princess, you know that the Crown Princess has been pregnant for a month. The doctor said that it is very likely to be a boy. She had a miscarriage today. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it, my princess would definitely be punished."

Male fetus?

Lu Jingning's face turned cold. His mother had been in poor health for a long time and had been taking tonic medicine for many years, so it was not suitable for her to get pregnant.

And this pregnancy was not real at all, it was a false pregnancy caused by drugs.

My father and mother had been in love for many years, and my mother was the only one in the Eastern Palace. When her fake pregnancy was exposed, she was severely reprimanded by the emperor and laughed at by all the civil and military officials, which caused my father to lose all his face. He was considered to have evil intentions, to confuse the royal bloodline, and to do whatever it took for fame and fortune.

Because of this incident, the parents became alienated.

My mother was hit harder and harder, her health deteriorated, and she passed away soon after. My father was involved in Mo Yunyao's affairs, and was eventually rejected by the emperor and his position as crown prince was taken away from him.

"If it weren't for Concubine Wan's meticulous care, the Crown Princess might not have gotten pregnant. Concubine Wan was the East Palace's benefactor, but the princess repaid her with evil. She is truly heartless." Huamei muttered.

Shangguan waved her hand and asked everyone to leave. Before leaving, the doctor said, "Crown Princess, please don't get angry. If you can't keep this baby, even if a great immortal comes in the future, it will be difficult for you to get pregnant again."

Shangguan nodded timidly, touched her belly, and looked cautious.

Looking at his mother like this, Lu Jingning felt that the truth was too cruel. His mother had been praying for a child for so many years and finally got it.

But was told it was fake.

How can I accept this?

"Aning, what do you want to say to your mother?" Shangguan looked at Lu Jingning tenderly and lovingly.

Lu Jingning gritted her teeth, unable to bear to say some words, and gently leaned her head in Shangguan's arms: "My daughter was indeed impulsive today, but please believe me, mother, everything happened for a reason, and it's not my daughter's nonsense."

Shangguan sighed helplessly and reached out to push her daughter's hair behind her ears: "Is it because of the Prince of Suguo again?"

My daughter is good in every way except that she is stubborn. She has set her mind on being the prince of Duke Suguo and no one else can see why.

Lu Jingning smiled bitterly. She had indeed been a jerk in the past few years, so she didn't have a very good impression of Shangguan. She took a deep breath, held Shangguan's hand, and said word by word: "My daughter had a dream. She dreamed of the tragic situation in the Eastern Palace. My father was deposed by the emperor, and my mother's fake pregnancy was exposed and she died of depression. It was Prince Shen who replaced her. My daughter married the prince of Suguo, and died tragically after having her baby removed by caesarean section two years later. The prince of Suguo turned around and married Lu Jinglang..."

"Aning!" Shangguan interrupted hastily.

Lu Jingning did not stop and continued, "Mother, today Lu Jinglang took me to the Jokhang Temple and saved a man on the way. There was a mark of the Northern Qi people on the man's waist. I have seen that totem in front of the emperor's dragon table and I will never make a mistake."

Shangguan looked at her daughter in disbelief and was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.

"Mother, in this world, only fathers and daughters will never harm you."

Lu Jingning lowered her head, she knew the truth was cruel.

But as a member of an imperial family, kindness is one’s biggest weakness.

Shangguan touched her belly. These days she had been looking forward to the birth of the child and what he would look like. She was even thinking about giving him a name.

It turned out to be fake...

Lu Jingning's eyes were red and he looked at Shangguan with heartache.

"Go and ask your aunt to come over and tell her that I want to see her."

"Mother, you can't do that!" Lu Jingning shook his head. Madam Shangguan was not a simple-minded person and her attitude towards Shangguan was inexplicable.

Especially when she knew that Shangguan had not given birth to a prince, she leaned towards the Prince Shen's Mansion.

"Mother, I remember Aunt Rong is an excellent doctor. If you ask her to come, it will definitely work."

Rong was once Shangguan's close friend. For unknown reasons, they stopped communicating a few years ago. However, Lu Jingning remembered that after his mother died, Rong was heartbroken and went to the temple to light a perpetual lamp for his mother.

"But Rong Shi...may not be willing to come."

"Mom, I will go and ask for it myself." Lu Jingning didn't expect her mother to believe her, which really made her very excited: "As long as it can make your health better, your daughter is willing to ask Aunt Rong for help."

Shangguan raised her head and forced back her tears: "In fact, I have suspected this pregnancy for a long time, but I just refused to give up all these years. After all, I am not so lucky."

"If mother asks Aunt Rong to see you and takes care of your body, maybe there is still a chance." Lu Jingning comforted.

Shangguan smiled bitterly.

The mother and daughter calmed down. Lu Jingning called someone in. Huamei looked at the two of them suspiciously. Lu Jingning stood up and said, "Mother, the cloud bat beside my daughter is gone. We are short of someone to use. Why don't you give Huamei to my daughter?"

Huamei's heart was alarmed when she heard this, but before she could refuse, Shangguan nodded and smiled dotingly: "Okay."

"Crown Princess!" Huamei was anxious.

Lu Jingning asked, "Why, you don't listen to your mother anymore?"

Huamei gritted her teeth and said she dared not.

After coming out of Linglong Pavilion, Huamei's face was still full of displeasure and resistance. When they arrived at Zhongling Pavilion, Lu Jingning could not suppress his anger and handed the person over to the housekeeper.

"Teach her the rules of Zhongling Pavilion."

"Yes."

Lu Jingning didn't dare to delay for a moment, and changed her clothes before leaving the palace. Yun Zai saw that she was tired and said distressedly, "Princess, you have been running back and forth all day, and I feel sorry for you. Why don't you take a rest?"

"I can't wait any longer." Lu Jingning shook her head. Her mother was in danger, and she wished she could grow wings and go find Rong's.

Yun Zai had no choice but to go with him.

Finally, she arrived at the door of Rong's house in the evening. She asked someone to pass the visiting card in, and she stayed in the carriage and waited quietly.
