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

After Queen Fang left, Lu Jingning lifted the quilt and stood outside the window to get some fresh air. These days, she had been thinking about one thing in her mind.

The Emperor of Southern Liang did not investigate the poison in the account book in depth.

Queen Fang didn't care.

The back-up plan she had arranged didn't even have room to work, which made Lu Jingning a little discouraged.

"What is the princess thinking about?"

She sighed, "People outside say that the imperial family is the most ruthless, and it's absolutely true. A concubine who has been favored for many years died quietly, and those people simply passed by as if they were crushing an ant."

Xue Yuan was at a loss for words for a moment.

After resting for a few more days, Lu Jingning went to pay his respects to the Emperor of Southern Liang. The Emperor of Southern Liang had given him many rewards during this period.

She had to go and say thank you.

When the Southern Liang Emperor saw her coming, a smile appeared on his face and he waved at her: "Aning is here, come and let me see, how are you recovering?"

"Thanks to Doctor Zhong, otherwise Aning would never see the emperor again."

Lu Jingning patted his chest, looking frightened, causing the Southern Liang Emperor to laugh: "You are such a naughty monkey, how can you die so easily? I don't have time to accompany you today. I will have dinner with you another day."

Lu Jingning was tactful and knelt down to leave, and happened to meet King Ning as he passed by.

"Aning." King Ning smiled at her.

Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly and he smiled back.

She knew that Prince Ning had suddenly been given an important position a few days ago. He was summoned by the Emperor of Southern Liang every day and even helped the Emperor of Southern Liang handle government affairs.

Even so, Prince Ning would not have the chance to ascend to that position.

There has never been an emperor in all dynasties who was disabled.

When Prince Ning was fifteen years old, he fell off his horse and was seriously injured. He suffered from serious illnesses, especially in his legs, and he walked with a limp.

"Princess!"

At this time, a young eunuch hid in front of a pillar and waved at Lu Jingning. Lu Jingning frowned and stopped.

The young eunuch ran to Lu Jingning and said, "Princess, you must save the master. The emperor has ordered the pursuit of the master."

Lu Jingning was startled at first, then worried, but soon calmed down and stared at the little eunuch in confusion: "Who are you, and who is your master?"

"Princess, my master is Jingzhao Yin Bu Yan. I am indebted to Master Bu, and it was Master Bu who told me that if there is any emergency, I must ask you for help as soon as possible. Princess, you can't just stand by and watch me die."

"Asshole!" Lu Jingning raised her foot and kicked the young eunuch's knee fiercely. "Whether your master is alive or dead, what does it have to do with me? Your master and I are strangers. You've asked the wrong person for help."

"Princess!" The young eunuch was kicked to the ground and said to Lu Jingning unwillingly, "Princess, the master has helped you several times. How can you be so cold-blooded and heartless?"

Lu Jingning pointed at the young eunuch and said, "Slap him!"

Xue Yuan stepped forward and punched the young eunuch left and right until the corner of his mouth was bleeding. However, the young eunuch was not giving up and took out a small sign.

Lu Jingning just glanced at him indifferently and snorted coldly, "You're looking for death."

Xue Yuan beat the man severely again.

"Don't let me see you again, otherwise, I will never let you off easily!" Lu Jingning said this and turned away.

The young eunuch lay on the ground for a while before he stood up and quietly retreated back into the hall.

Emperor Nanliang saw the scene just now clearly, and the doubts in his eyes were much relieved. Could it be that he really guessed wrong?

Do Bu Yan and An Ning really have nothing to do with each other?

……

After returning to Linglong Courtyard, Lu Jingning sat calmly on the chair. She had been very active recently, but on the surface she seemed to be clean.

But it would be strange if he could get away with it every time after doing it so many times.

"How did the princess know that the young eunuch was cheating?"

Lu Jingning said in a deep voice: "Master Bu is extremely intelligent and would never ask for help from such a reckless person. Moreover, Master Bu would not ask me for help either."

"Why?" Xue Yuan asked.

Lu Jingning smiled: "He can't use it."

Such a smart and cunning person would only scheme against others, not be schemed against. Even if he failed, he would not ask her for help.

She is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, unable to save herself.

"Princess, what are your plans next?" Xue Yuan asked.

Lu Jingning rubbed his brows with his fingertips. It was not a good idea to always be so passive. Some people were really annoying to be alive.

If she were in power, would she still have to worry?

She closed her eyes and went over the list of people Bu Yan had given her. Bu Yan had said that they were all trustworthy people.

Suddenly, Lu Jingning had a bold idea. He waved at Xue Yuan and whispered a few words. Even though Xue Yuan was very brave, she was frightened by Lu Jingning and couldn't speak clearly: "Princess...Princess?"

"Yes!"

Two days of silence

Xue Yuan finally finished making the thing and handed it to Lu Jingning.

Lu Jingning dismissed everyone and left only Xue Yuan, who studied carefully under the candlelight to see if there was anything missing.

"Princess, if this is discovered, your entire clan will be executed."

Apart from Shangguan, Lu Jingning didn't care about the other nine clans. After she confirmed that everything was correct, she planned to find a reason to send Shangguan out of the palace.

"I have my measure."

The next day

Lu Jingning used an excuse to ask Shangguan to leave the palace and go to the temple to pray for the prince. Shangguan realized something was wrong and took her hand to ask her about everything.

"Mother, I have something to arrange outside the temple, but it is not convenient for my daughter to go out, and I can't trust anyone else, so I can only leave it to you."

Under Lu Jingning's persuasion, Shangguan nodded obediently and sent someone to ask for her resignation from Queen Fang in order to pray for the prince. Queen Fang quickly agreed.

As soon as Shangguan left, Lu Jingning felt much more at ease.

If she fails, she won't have to worry about it.

"Princess, the Queen has prepared some snacks and would like you to try them." The palace maid came to invite.

Queen...

Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly. She still didn't know whether Queen Fang was an enemy or a friend, or whether Queen Fang was neither side. If she didn't get involved, she would be the empress dowager in the future.

Why take the risk?

"How much do you know about the Queen?" she asked.

Xue Yuan said, "The Queen cares most about Princess Qinghe. Princess Qinghe has not had an easy time in her fiefdom these years. I heard that the Prince Consort dotes on a concubine. Although the princess is of noble status, she is too weak. In addition, the Prince Consort is the son of a big family and is not afraid of the princess at all. Now the princess has only one legitimate son. I heard that he is also very weak and dares not travel around. Therefore, Princess Qinghe could only send people to deliver letters in the past few years and stay with the little prince and dare not leave."

Lu Jingning was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

"This matter has been kept secret, and very few people know about it. The Prince Consort's family is a hero in suppressing the rebellion. Even if it is exposed, the Emperor will not pursue it."

Hearing this, Lu Jingning already had a plan in mind.

After meeting Queen Fang, she indirectly talked about Princess Qinghe. Queen Fang looked melancholy and said, "I only have this one daughter, and I can't see her for several years. If the princess can be like you and enjoy your life every day, I will die without regrets."
