Evening

The Emperor of Southern Liang turned over the name card of Concubine Yun.

"Princess, Concubine Yun will sleep with you tonight." Xue Yuan was feeling a little excited. Everything was going according to the princess' plan.

After punishing Concubine You and Concubine Li, the emperor was so lustful that he did not finish dealing with the memorials and only drank a bowl of ginseng soup before summoning the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When he saw Concubine Yun's nameplate, he flipped over her without hesitation.

Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly: "Wait a little longer."

For two consecutive days, the Emperor of Southern Liang asked Concubine Yun to sleep with him, and promoted her to Concubine Yun. He also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give Concubine Yun a small birthday celebration.

puff puff!

There was the sound of flapping wings.

"It's Xiaobai!" Xue Yuan quickly walked to the windowsill, took the small bamboo tube from Xiaobai's feet, turned around and handed it to Lu Jingning.

Looking at the small bamboo tube, Lu Jingning's heart beat rapidly.

It has been more than half a month since there was any news from Bu Yan.

I opened the note and there was only one word written on it: death!

Lu Jingning felt dizzy and almost fell down. Xue Yuan quickly supported her. Tears flowed from the corners of Lu Jingning's eyes and she bit her lips tightly to stop herself from crying.

In the end, it did not change my father's fate.

Father……

She still has a lot to say to her father.

After Xue Yuan saw the words clearly, she advised: "Princess, now is not the time to be sad. You should make plans as soon as possible before the news spreads."

Lu Jingning gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, raised his head and looked at the dark sky outside the window: "Where is the emperor?"

"The Emperor summoned Lady Yun tonight."

Lu Jingning took a deep breath. She remembered Bu Yan saying that if there was ever chaos in the capital, he would be able to support someone to take the throne.

In that case, let’s give it a try!

Lonely night

Concubine Yun was wrapped in a tulle dress with delicate makeup on her face. She was twisting her waist and turning around in the room.

The Emperor of Southern Liang leaned on the couch, watching the scene with great interest.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Your Majesty, something happened." Changxi shouted outside.

Emperor Nanliang's interest was interrupted and he frowned in displeasure. Just as he was about to stand up, his eyes went dark. He rubbed his eyebrows and wanted to raise his hand but found that he couldn't raise it. He was so shocked that his eyes widened and he opened his mouth to call for help, but when he raised his head he found that he couldn't even make a sound.

The door creaked open.

A Clinique-colored figure walked in. The woman was petite, and her face could not be seen clearly because of her veiled hat. She took off the hat with her slender white fingertips, revealing a stunning face.

Lu Jingning!

The Emperor of Southern Liang stared.

"Your servant greets the princess." Changxi greeted.

Even Concubine Yun quickly put on her clothes and knelt down to pay her respects to Lu Jingning.

Lu Jingning raised his hand: "No need to be polite, get up."

"Thank you princess."

Lu Jingning looked at Concubine Yun and gave her a wink. Concubine Yun tactfully retreated and closed the door.

The Emperor of Southern Liang glared at Lu Jingning angrily, with murderous intent in his eyes, and he could vaguely utter a few words, which seemed to say "daring".

Facing the Emperor of Southern Liang, wasn't Lu Jingning filled with hatred?

She took a deep breath.

Now that it has come to this, there is no turning back.

"Luoying!"

Luoying appeared in a flash.

What horrified Emperor Nanliang was that Luoying's face was exactly the same as his own!

"It will only take a stick of incense to finish this quickly." Lu Jingning turned his back.

Luoying nodded, stripped off Emperor Nanliang's clothes, and began to look for the marks on his body. It took less than an incense stick of time to finish the search.

When Lu Jingning turned around, Luoying had already changed into the clothes of Emperor Nanliang, while Emperor Nanliang was only wearing a white inner garment, lying on the ground unable to move.

"Xue Yuan." Lu Jingning shouted.

Xue Yuan pushed the door open, holding a bottle in one hand and a dagger in the other. She cut Emperor Nan Liang's wrist and filled a bottle with blood.

The Southern Liang Emperor blurted out in anger: "Lu Jingning, you are so outrageous!"

Lu Jingning bent down and squatted: "This is what you owe to the Eastern Palace. I am just paying back the blood debt with blood. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is nothing to complain about."

"You are so bold, aren't you worried about being discovered... Aning, I am your biological grandfather!" The Emperor of Southern Liang was both angry and furious.

Lu Jingning was too lazy to waste time with him. He took the dagger from Xue Yuan's hand and stabbed it into Emperor Nanliang's heart without hesitation.

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere.

There is a warm fishy smell when sprayed on the face.

The Emperor of Southern Liang widened his eyes in horror.

puff!

Another knife slashed his throat.

He suppressed his huge hatred and cut off the head of Emperor Nanliang. Even Xue Yuan felt a little scalp-tingling when she saw this scene.

"Princess, the man is dead."

It doesn't have to be so bloody.

Lu Jingning said, "Burn the bones and send this thing to the incinerator."

Xue Yuan was puzzled.

"The scriptures say that if the bones and the head are burned separately, there will be no chance to complain after death, and there will be no reincarnation. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, it's just a small effort, so why not give it a try?" Lu Jingning calmly packed the head, put it in a brocade box and handed it to Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan did as she was told without hesitation.

As for the remaining bodies, they were burned directly.

An hour had passed by the time all these things were done, and the blood in the yard had long been covered up and cleared away.

Lu Jingning washed his hands and walked out.

"Princess, don't worry. Everyone in this courtyard is trustworthy." Chang Xi stepped forward, his voice trembling.

He never thought that the princess could be so cruel.

Lu Jingning raised his head and thought for a while: "It's almost dawn, thank you for your help, father-in-law."

Before dawn, Lu Jingning quietly returned to the East Palace. He soaked himself in hot water, his palms covered in sticky sweat.

She never thought that after her rebirth, the first person she would kill with her own hands would be the Emperor of Southern Liang!

"Princess."

Xue Yuan knocked on the door.

Lu Jingning came back to his senses, got up from the pool, quickly wrapped himself in clothes, opened the door, and Xue Yuan said quickly: "Half an hour ago, the news that the prince's body was found reached the palace, and the emperor also fainted. The imperial physician diagnosed that he was injured by anger and needed to rest. Concubine Yun has been accompanying the emperor. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, as well as the Marquis of Zhongyong, the Marquis of Yiyong, the Marquis of Chang'an, the Duke of Li, the Prince of Shen, and the Prince of Ning are all on their way."

"Yeah!" She nodded.

Xue Yuan added: "There is also news from the master. Don't worry. He will be here within an hour."

With these words, Lu Jingning felt much more at ease.

previous dynasty

The ministers stood in the corridor and whispered.

Prince Shen glanced quickly at Prince Ning, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

"The prince's body was found, and the emperor fainted in anger. I don't know how he is now."

"The Crown Prince was raised by the Emperor, how could he bear such a huge blow!"

"The emperor is already in poor health, what if..."

As soon as the minister opened his mouth, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, and he was so scared that he shut up quickly.

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said, "The emperor has always been in such poor health over the years. The imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital are watching over him, so you don't have to worry about him. Besides, the emperor has many sons and grandsons."

Prince Shen stared at Marquis Zhongyong and asked, "Who do you think is most suitable for that position?"

The loyal and brave Marquis said with a fake smile: "Of course, the emperor is the most suitable."

It was as if he hadn't said anything. Prince Shen retracted his expression and set his sights on Prince Ning: "Prince Ning has been going to the palace quite frequently recently."

Prince Ning frowned and said, "I am just following your orders."

A group of people in the corridor had their own thoughts. Everyone knew that the Emperor of Southern Liang was already at the end of his strength and had suffered another blow. He might not be able to hold on.

"Although the prince is gone, he is still a bloodline."

An inappropriate voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. Shen Rufeng, the son of Marquis Zhongyong, walked towards the crowd slowly.

"What's the use of women like Princess Fenghe?" someone denied.

Shen Rufeng shook his head: "No, I heard that the prince has a little son who has been raised outside. He is already six or seven years old. This little son also followed the prince to the northwest, but because he caught a cold, he did not return by boat and luckily escaped."

"Nonsense!" Prince Shen was upset: "How come we didn't know that the prince had an illegitimate child?"

"This child was born to a commoner woman. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a strong bond. The Crown Prince did not want to make the Crown Princess sad, so he has been raising the child outside. The Crown Princess and the princess are both aware of this." Shen Rufeng explained: "And the Crown Princess has already agreed to let the Crown Prince bring the child back to raise him. This child wants to recognize his ancestral roots."

No one believed it. How could the prince suddenly have a son?

"If you don't believe me, we can do a blood test when the child comes back. Although the prince is dead, it will be the same if we do a blood test with the closest relatives."

Shen Rufeng's words were like a thunderbolt, striking everyone's heart hard.
