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

As the night deepens, some people are happy while others are sad.

Lord Murong quietly went to Shangguan Mansion under the cover of night. He first met Shangguan Si and chatted with him for an hour behind closed doors.

Finally, I went to see Murong.

Murong was awakened by a maid and felt a little panicked. It was impossible for her elder brother to come to her house at this hour for no reason. She hurriedly put on her clothes and went to the main hall, where she saw Lord Murong with a worried look on his face.

"Big brother."

Murong stepped forward.

Lord Murong said in a low voice: "Let everyone leave first. I have something to say to you."

So Murong asked everyone to leave, sat on the chair, held a handkerchief in her hand and asked worriedly: "Brother, has something happened in the mansion?"

Since there was no one around, Lord Murong confessed: "Today, Bu Yan dug out a secret room in the Murong family yard, which was full of loan sharking money."

"What did you say?" Murong was shocked and a little anxious: "How is this possible? How could the Murong family dig out these things?"

Lord Murong snorted coldly: "Is it possible to fake something when the thing was dug out right under my nose?"

What frightened him even more was when these things were put into the Murong family, without anyone noticing, and he, the head of the family, had no idea at all.

"The Emperor has pardoned the Rong family, but the Murong family is confused now..."

"How could this happen?" Murong was panicked and cursed Miss Lang in her heart. If she hadn't been meddling in other people's business, there wouldn't have been so many unexpected things.

Instead of bringing down the Rong family, he got himself into trouble.

This idiot made her so angry.

Seeing that her brother didn't speak, Murong asked anxiously: "Brother, what should we do now?"

Lord Murong hesitated for a moment and said Bu Yan's words word for word: "Bu Yan asked me to weigh the pros and cons and give up some people. Otherwise, the Murong family will suffer the consequences."

The words had been said so bluntly that the last glimmer of hope in Murong's heart was gone, and the fire finally burned himself.

Her face turned pale, her heart was beating fast and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"The usury issue involves too many people, including the Shenjun Palace, the Murong Palace, and the Shangguan family. We are no match for the Shenjun Palace. Now there are only two options before us. Either we fight Bu Yan to the end, or... someone takes on the responsibility."

Lord Murong didn't say much. He turned around, held the tea, lowered his head and took two sips, but his eyes glanced at Murong opposite him.

Murong bit her lip tightly.

She was the glorious Madam Shangguan, but since when did her son, husband, and family all start to be plotted against one after another?

A pretty face appeared in Murong's mind, Lu Jingning!

Yes, everything started to change with Lu Jingning.

Weighing the pros and cons…

Murong smiled bitterly, she had no choice at all. The matter of usury would become more and more serious and would eventually implicate the Shangguan Mansion, and she would be the one who suffered in the end.

It is better to stop the loss in time.

"Brother, please go back first. I know what to do." Murong seemed to have all the strength drained away from her as she sat blankly on the chair.

Lord Murong stood up upon seeing this, and without even a word of comfort, turned around and left.

Murong sat like this for most of the night, until dawn, when the footsteps of the maid came in and woke her up. Murong came to her senses, glanced at the time outside, and her eyes moved slightly.

"Prepare the carriage. I want to enter the palace."

……

East Palace

Lu Jingning looked at himself in the mirror. Yun Zai smiled and said, "This Snow Cream is very effective. In just two or three days, the scars on the princess' face have healed to their original state."

She smiled.

"Princess, Madam Shangguan wants to see you."

"Murong?" Lu Jingning frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she guessed that Murong was here to beg for mercy. She said, "Just tell my mother that I am not feeling well and cannot see guests, and then tell her not to see them."

"Yes."

Murong's efforts were in vain, and her last bit of hope was shattered. Without even a chance to beg for mercy, Murong could only return to Shangguan Mansion in despair.

When I returned to the courtyard, I happened to see Miss Lang holding a bunch of lotus flowers in her hands, walking towards the other end of the corridor with a smile on her face.

Seeing the culprit, Murong was furious, raised his jaw and ordered, "Go and call this bitch to me."

After a while, two maids came in rudely dragging Miss Lang.

Miss Lang's face was rosy and her eyes were misty and looked very moist. She and Shangguan Yunzheng were newlyweds, and no one knew what method she used to coax Shangguan Yunzheng into doing whatever Miss Lang said.

Murong glanced at Miss Lang's wig, which was covered with red hairpins and jewelry, especially the gold hairpin inlaid with rubies, which swayed gently with her movements, showing her wealth and making Murong's face even gloomier.

Miss Lang looked at Murong's face, her heart sank, and she quickly stopped smiling and knelt on the ground: "Greetings to mother."

"Pah!" Murong Shi couldn't suppress her anger and ran towards Miss Lang, grabbing her by the collar and beating her left and right: "Bitch, if it weren't for your bad idea, the Murong family wouldn't have been forced to this point."

"Mother?"

Miss Lang was beaten so hard that she screamed in agony and couldn't even beg for mercy.

After being slapped more than a dozen times, Murong finally stopped, panting heavily and glaring at Miss Lang: "Bitch!"

Miss Lang was lying on the ground, not daring to touch her face. She raised her head and looked at Murong with grievance. But this time Murong was determined to keep Miss Lang in Shangguan Mansion. Sooner or later, her son would be harmed.

"Someone, tie her up and throw her to the small Buddhist temple." Murong ordered.

"Yes."

Soon Miss Lang's mouth was gagged, tied up and thrown into the small Buddhist temple. Murong rearranged her clothes, sorted out the account book very quickly, and called her trusted nanny to give her some instructions.

"lady……"

"Life and death are determined by fate. For the sake of the Murong family and the Shangguan family, we have to take a gamble." Murong hated Bu Yan's ruthlessness in her heart.

Half an hour later, Murong went to the small Buddhist hall, drove everyone away, and lit up the small Buddhist hall with a candle.

Miss Lang opened her eyes wide in horror, watching the flames grow bigger and bigger, soon licking the entire house. The fire burned her skin, causing her excruciating pain.

She struggled.

He twisted his body desperately, yelling and whimpering, and did not forget to look towards Murong.

The other person just sat in the chair without moving.

Miss Lang was desperate.

"Oh no, oh no, there's a fire."

The fire in the small Buddhist hall was raging, and soon attracted the attention of many servants, who began to put out the fire. Shangguan Si, who was far away in the study, saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, the small Buddhist temple is on fire, and Mother and Lang'er are still inside!" Shangguan Yunzheng hurried over with a panic-stricken look on his face.

Shangguan Si quickly suppressed his emotions and pretended to be very anxious as he walked towards the small Buddhist temple.

When the fire in the small Buddhist hall was put out, Murong and Miss Lang were rescued, but their bodies had been burned beyond recognition and their faces were horrible to look at.

"Quick, quick, call the imperial physician!" Shangguan Si shouted.
