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

The board hit Helian's back again and again. Helian screamed miserably and shouted for help to Concubine Tong beside her.

"Mother, save me."

Concubine Tong's heart was in her throat when she heard Helian's screams. She clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand and looked at Lu Jingning: "Princess, please forgive me when you can. Please show mercy. The princess has already realized her mistake."

Lu Jingning glanced at Concubine Tong calmly without responding.

Concubine Tong was anxious: "Do you really want to beat him with all 30 boards?"

Even without Lu Jingning calling for a stop, the guards did not slow down their movements at all, and Helian's back was bleeding.

Helian panicked and looked up at Lu Jingning, but was frightened by the fierceness in her eyes: "You..."

She thought she knew what would happen in the future and didn't take anyone seriously, including the Emperor of Southern Liang.

But the severe pain in his body at this moment made Helian suddenly wake up.

In the previous life, the Prince's Mansion was never demoted, Concubine Wan did not die, Zhao Sui was still the romantic and elegant Prince of Suguo, the Crown Princess Shangguan became increasingly frail and was bedridden, and Lu Jingning was only a princess until her death, and she had never been engaged to Bu Yan.

She was surprised to realize that the Lu Jingning in front of her might be reborn just like her!

"Woo!"

The pain in her back made it hard for her to breathe.

Lu Jingning closed his eyes and said to Xue Yuan, "Although I am angry with the Princess, the Emperor ordered her to be beaten. The Emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Go ahead and beat her with the remaining fifteen boards."

Xue Yuan obeyed the order.

Concubine Tong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. How much strength could a palace maid have?

Xue Yuan took the long stick from the guard and hit Helian's acupuncture points on the lower back. It seemed that she was raising it high and then putting it down gently.

Helian's face turned pale in an instant, and her lower back became numb instantly.

"Mother!" Helian shouted, calling for help.

Concubine Tong frowned, thinking that Helian was being hypocritical. However, because there were so many people around, she had no choice but to say, "Just bear with it for a while. There is still one more beating left."

"Mother, no, please save me." Helian couldn't even finish her words.

Xue Yuan slowly and fiercely struck Helian's acupuncture points with the long stick in her hand.

boom!

The sound of bones breaking.

Helian screamed, unable to bear the pain, closed her eyes and fainted.

After thirty strokes of the board, Xue Yuan took back the long stick. Concubine Tong hurriedly went down the stairs and came to Helian. She covered her mouth with disgust as she looked at the blood on Helian's back, and asked someone to send Helian back to Prince Shen's Mansion.

Lu Jingning glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and remembered that day in the small courtyard of the Duke Su's Mansion. She was lying on the ground with her hands on her stomach, unable to live or die.

She bit her lip tightly, hatred evident in her eyes.

"Princess." Xue Yuan came to Lu Jingning and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"No problem."

"Princess, Princess Shen will surely die within an hour, and Prince Shen will definitely come to the palace to cause trouble for you." Xue Yuan whispered. It seemed that the blows she had just carried out were very light, but they were all in fatal places. Helian's femur was broken, blocking her blood vessels. She would die of hemorrhage in an hour at the latest.

Lu Jingning smiled slightly: "Prince Shen dare not come."

The suspicion that Prince Shen covets military power has not yet been cleared. If he goes to the palace to file a complaint, he will surely lose.

If Prince Shen was a smart man, he would definitely not come.

If he didn't come, she would have to go to Prince Shen's mansion in person to add fuel to the fire.

……

Prince Shen's Mansion

When Helian was carried back, she was hanging on to her last breath. Her face was as pale as paper, she was breathing little, and her eyes were half open as she breathed her last.

The housekeeper was terrified and quickly sent someone to inform Prince Shen.

Prince Shen was scolded by the Emperor of Southern Liang during the day and was very depressed, so he went to his concubine to get drunk, drinking one cup after another, which scared the concubine so much that she could only accompany him silently.

When the butler came to report, Prince Shen was half sober. He stood up and walked outside. As expected, he saw Helian lying on the couch.

Prince Shen was confused, and then he became angry: "What on earth is going on? How could the Princess become like this?"

The accompanying maid immediately explained the whole story.

"It was Princess Fenghe who fought, Prince, you must stand up for my Princess." The maid knelt on the ground crying.

When Prince Shen heard that it was Lu Jingning again, he clenched his fists in anger, "How can this be? Do you really think that the Prince's Mansion is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed however you want?"

"County...County Prince." Helian spoke with a weak voice.

Prince Shen squatted down, held Helian's hand, and shouted outside: "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

"My Lord, the doctor is on his way."

Prince Shen then turned his head to look at Helian, his eyes were red. Helian felt that his lower body had completely lost all feeling. This feeling continued to spread upwards, and his heart felt like it was on fire, with excruciating pain.

"Prince, you must...you must be careful with Lu Jingning, she..." Helian held her breath and spoke slowly.

The servant outside the door came to report.

"Prince, the princess has brought the imperial physician to treat the princess."

When he heard it was Lu Jingning, Prince Shen was furious: "How dare she come here!"

"Prince Shen, I'm here to visit the Princess." Lu Jingning's voice came closer and closer, and he stood on the threshold and looked at Prince Shen with a hint of apology.

"I have specially brought Doctor Zhong to treat Princess Shen. Let's keep our distance from each other from now on, okay?"

Helian lay on the couch and turned her head with difficulty. She clearly saw the smug smile on Lu Jingning's face.

The behavior of a villain who has succeeded!

"No need." Shen Jun Wang was angry and refused without thinking. "If you knew this would happen, why did you pretend to be so hypocritical?"

"Second uncle..."

The word "Second Uncle" made Prince Shen furious. He looked at Lu Jingning and said through gritted teeth, "I underestimated you. You are so cruel and ruthless."

"Prince..." Helian reached out and tugged at Prince Shen's sleeve, and suddenly a large amount of pus and blood gushed out of her throat.

puff!

Helian couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

"Princess Princess!"

The room was in chaos.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Jingning left with Doctor Zhong. Before he even walked out of the gate of Prince Shen's mansion, he heard the housekeeper crying and running to order the guards: "Quick, go and inform Madam Helian, tell her that the princess has died."

Helian died, and it has been exactly one hour since she was carried out of the palace.

After returning to the palace, Lu Jingning did not go back to the East Palace directly, but went to visit Queen Fang. She said nervously, "Queen, am I... am I too cruel?"

Queen Fang asked uncertainly, "Is Princess Shen really dead?"

"Yeah!" She nodded.

Queen Fang sighed: "Thirty boards are not too heavy, how could someone be beaten to death?"

"It's strange to say, the Princess of Shen County was fine when she was carried out, but she suddenly vomited blood after staying with the Prince of Shen County for a while, and died in less than an incense stick." Lu Jingning said with sobs, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he looked at Queen Fang in panic: "Queen, did I kill someone?"

"Aning, it's not you who should punish her. Her death has nothing to do with you. You don't have to be afraid." Queen Fang comforted her with a few words.

Lu Jingning lowered her eyes and sobbed softly, looking very frightened. It was Queen Fang who sent someone to send her back to the East Palace.

After the people left, Empress Fang said to the palace maid, "Bring the supplementary food, I'm going to visit the emperor."

Emperor Nanliang seemed to have known that Empress Fang would come, and said in a deep voice: "Helian is dead."

"I have learned it from the princess." Queen Fang brought the supplementary meal and placed it on the table: "Helian is dead, and the princess is very scared."

The Emperor of Southern Liang frowned.

"After Helian was executed, the princess looked at the pool of blood on the ground and recalled how kind Helian had been to her in the past. She went to the Imperial Hospital herself and immediately took Doctor Zhong to the Prince Shen's residence. However, Prince Shen did not let Doctor Zhong treat Helian, which delayed her for a long time. Perhaps Helian was too weak to withstand the beating."

Queen Fang said softly, a little helplessly: "Everyone has their own destiny. This is Helian's fate."

After Queen Fang's persuasion, Emperor Nanliang's brows relaxed. It was not that he felt pity for Helian. Instead, he felt relieved that Helian was dead.

I was just angry that a good person was beaten to death.

"Forget it, the Queen is right, she is unlucky." Emperor Nanliang thought for a moment and told Queen Fang to comfort Lu Jingning: "As for Helian's death, there is no need to investigate. I am afraid that some people wish Helian would die."

Queen Fang was stunned. She realized from the tone of Emperor Nanliang that he was blaming Prince Shen for the death of the Helian family.
