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

As the two were chatting, they saw Lu Jingning walking towards them. Lin Qi put away his playful smile, took two steps back, and distanced himself from Bu Yan.

Bu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl coming towards him.

She wore a moon-white brocade jacket over a light crimson chest-length skirt, which highlighted her slender waist. On her waist, there were jade pendants and lotus-colored sachets embroidered with two lotus flowers on each side.

Before he knew it, the girl had walked in front of him.

"Princess." Bu Yan nodded and bowed slightly.

Lu Jingning raised his hand and said in a clear voice: "Master Bu, there is no need to be so polite."

"Princess, are you here for Shangguan Si?" Bu Yan took the initiative to speak and talked about the result of today. Lu Jingning looked at Bu Yan without blinking: "Zhao Sui was not killed by the people from Shenjunwang Mansion."

Bu Yan raised his narrow eyebrows slightly.

"I sent someone to kill him." Lu Jingning tried his best to keep his voice steady, turned sideways to avoid Bu Yan's sight, and continued: "I also met Zhao Sui last night. I persuaded him to go to Shangguan Mansion to cause trouble today."

Lin Qi behind him couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard this. He couldn't understand what the master in front of him was going to do.

Shooting Zhao Sui is no small matter.

Her master had clearly already covered it up for her, so why did she take the initiative to confess?

Bu Yan turned around and glanced at the people behind him, who immediately distanced themselves again to make sure they couldn't hear the two people's conversation.

"Princess, don't you trust me?" Bu Yan asked.

Lu Jingning pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

It's neither trust nor distrust.

Wandering between the two.

She just couldn't understand why Bu Yan wanted to help her. There was no connection between her and Bu Yan.

Bu Yan has been in the officialdom for a long time and has seen all kinds of people. She doesn't believe that someone would be nice to her for no reason.

What she experienced in her last life, she never wants to experience again in this life.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Bu Yan didn't get angry. He turned around and walked to Lu Jingning: "What do you want me to believe in me?"

"Master Bu, there is nothing in the Eastern Palace that is worth your calculation." Lu Jingning simply brought up the subject: "Why don't you just tell me what you want? Maybe I can help you. Considering that you saved me twice and gave me the Palace Protection Pill, I will definitely do my best to help you!"

Bu Yan was so angry at Lu Jingning's words that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, especially when he saw the serious look on the little girl's face. He patiently asked, "So far, have I ever plotted against the princess?"

Lu Jingning shook his head without hesitation.

"In that case, why don't you trust me once, Princess? A journey of a thousand miles can reveal a person's true character. What do you think, Princess?" Bu Yan lowered his voice and spoke gently, "Not everyone aspires to the highest power. To me, it's just a burden."

The two looked at each other, Lu Jingning stared into Bu Yan's eyes, trying to see something, but those dark and clear eyes were filled with tenderness.

After a long time, Lu Jingning was defeated.

She bit her lip and said, "The other day, Princess Shen invited me into her mansion and talked to me."

Compared to Helian, Lu Jingning would rather listen to what Bu Yan has to say.

Seeing that she was willing to open up, Bu Yan smiled and continued to ask, "What is it? Are you willing to tell me?"

Lu Jingning nodded and repeated Helian's words to Bu Yan word for word. The smile in Bu Yan's eyes slowly faded, but returned to normal in just a moment.

"This is not the place to talk. I will explain it to you in person later. You can go to the main hall first." Bu Yan said.

"Ah."

Before leaving, Bu Yan stopped and looked back at Lu Jingning: "What Princess Shen said is true. The emperor does not love the prince as much as you think. The imperial edict to depose the prince is always on the dragon table."

Lu Jingning's face turned pale in an instant and he looked at Bu Yan in disbelief.

"The heart of the emperor is unpredictable, it has always been like this, there is no need to panic." Bu Yan was afraid of scaring her, and continued: "I promised you that no one except the crown prince can sit in that position."

"But the Emperor..."

"Even the emperor can't do that." Bu Yan promised solemnly.

Lu Jingning stood there and watched Bu Yan's gradually leaving back, feeling mixed emotions. In her two lifetimes, she only knew about revenge, and she was so self-righteous and smart.

But I never thought that some things are still unclear.

"The princess is here." When Eunuch Changxi saw Lu Jingning, he lost his previous contempt and became more respectful. He whispered, "Princess, please be careful. The emperor is in a bad mood today and Concubine Xian is still in there. But don't worry, the emperor has no intention of taking out his anger on the Crown Princess for the Shangguan Mansion."

Faced with the changes in Eunuch Changxi, Lu Jingning frowned.

Soon, under Changxi's order, the Emperor of Southern Liang summoned Lu Jingning.

"Fenghe pays respects to the Emperor." She knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Nanliang was sitting on a couch nearby. He glanced at the person who came and waved his hand: "Stand up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Jingning stood up and quickly glanced at Concubine Xian who was crying beside him. Concubine Xian noticed that someone was looking at her and turned around and glared at her.

"What are you doing here?" The Southern Liang Emperor's eyes fell on Lu Jingning, and he asked unkindly, "Are you here to plead for your uncle?"

Lu Jingning shook his head: "Your Majesty, Lord Shangguan should be punished for what he did wrong. Besides, the Shangguan family has never treated my mother sincerely. Fenghe hates the Shangguan family so much that he doesn't even have time to speak for them."

I didn't expect Lu Jingning to be so direct.

Emperor Nanliang's expression softened a lot: "Why is this?"

"A few days ago, Fenghe was plotted against. My mother was so shameless that she got three antidotes. But the old lady didn't give Fenghe even one, and she even threw dirty water on Fenghe." Lu Jingning said with red eyes, feeling very aggrieved.

The Emperor of Southern Liang was still unaware of this matter. He glanced at Changxi who was beside him, and Changxi stepped forward and quickly told him the whole cause and effect.

Emperor Nanliang frowned: "This Shangguan family is getting more and more confused!"

"Your Majesty, we cannot just listen to the princess' words. Everyone knows that the princess has a willful and capricious temper. Maybe she did something heartbreaking at Shangguan Mansion. Otherwise, how could the old lady, who loves the princess so much, be reluctant to give her an antidote?" Concubine Xian muttered.

Lu Jingning turned his head to glance at Concubine Xian, but was met with a roll of the eyes from Concubine Xian.

The fourth princess died, and she and Concubine Xian became enemies.

"No wonder the old lady's birthday party was not held without any respect. The old lady even fell seriously ill because of this. The Crown Princess is so cruel that she was indifferent and didn't even look at her biological mother." The virtuous concubine became more and more excited, and finally said boldly: "Such a person is not worthy of being the Crown Princess."
