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

Seeing the head rolling towards her, the old lady fainted from fright on the spot, and Murong was stunned on the spot, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Only Shangguan Si still retained some rationality. He swallowed nervously.

It has to be said that Lu Jingning's decisive and murderous action really shocked him.

A little girl who grew up under his nose actually had such thundering means, she remained calm and killed people without blinking an eye.

Shangguan Si looked at Lu Jingning. If the prince had such courage, he would not have ended up like this.

If...if Lu Jingning was a man, Shangguan Si couldn't imagine how stable the prince's position would be.

Seeing Lu Jingning and his men leave in a mighty manner, Murong rushed towards Shangguan Si, her eyes reddened, "Husband, what should we do now? Zheng'er and several children are in the hands of the bastard. She must be crazy."

Murong couldn't even finish her words. She was gasping for breath, half out of anger and half out of fear.

Shangguan Si ignored Murong and shouted at the housekeeper: "Go get the doctor and clean up this place."

"Yes, yes." The housekeeper hurriedly got up and cleaned up.

Soon the doctor came and examined the old lady. It turned out that she was suffering from a heart attack caused by anger and extreme fright. After acupuncture, the old lady slowly woke up.

Looking at the curtains above her head, the old lady's face turned pale. She struggled to sit up and looked at the doctor: "Besides being frightened, are there any other signs?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment.

"Doctor Li, just say whatever you want to say." The old lady signaled the maid to hand over a generous consultation fee. Doctor Li then said, "From the old lady's pulse, it seems that she has been poisoned, but the dosage is well controlled, and her life will not be in danger for the time being. However, if she does not take the antidote within three months, the poison will invade her lungs, and it will be hard to say."

"Three months?" The old lady was anxious. She didn't care about etiquette and grabbed Doctor Li's sleeve. "Is there any way to detoxify?"

Doctor Li's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said with shame: "Madam, my medical skills are limited. I really don't have this ability. If it really doesn't work, please ask someone else."

After saying that, Doctor Li brushed away the old lady's hand, turned around and left with the medicine box on his back.

As soon as the man left, the old lady's shoulders slumped and she fell back on the pillow in despair. She looked at Shangguan Si blankly: "How could this girl be so cruel to drug us? Isn't she worried about being laughed at by the world?"

"And Lang, after all, grew up with her, but she just killed him without showing any mercy. Is this girl possessed by a demon?"

Although Lu Jingning had a bad temper in the past, he was still very filial and considerate to the old lady. He would visit her from time to time and bring things from the palace.

But now, not only did he beat and scold her in public, he didn't even pretend and directly asked the guards to force poison into her mouth.

Has the old lady, who has been obedient for most of her life, ever been treated like this?

The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it: "Si'er, our brothers are still in her hands. We can't just watch her do whatever she wants."

Of the three legitimate grandchildren, not a single one survived.

If anything happened, she would be dead.

Shangguan Si hesitated for a moment and said, "Lu Jingning is no longer the Lu Jingning of the past."

"Why does she treat the Shangguan family like this?" the old lady was angry.

Shangguan Si remained silent, but Murong couldn't help but speak: "It must be the incident about the antidote that day that chilled the Crown Princess and the Queen."

The antidote was bought by the Crown Princess, but she didn't leave any for Lu Jingning. Even though the Crown Princess was filial and sensible, Lu Jingning was her life.

The old lady doesn't even care about Lu Jingning and has abandoned him. It would be strange if the Crown Princess wasn't angry!

The old lady has never regretted this matter: "I asked the doctor, the harm of the Hehuan powder to women is far less than that to men. The boys are still young, and nothing can happen to them. Afterwards, Aning is fine, right? I have to take care of them. Why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

The old lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief in her hand, choking with sobs, "She is the Crown Princess. She knew that many people took the Hehuan Powder that day, but there were only three antidotes. Wasn't she deliberately making things difficult for me? If there was one more, I would naturally give it to her."

Murong lowered her eyes and did not dare to say anything further.

There would be nothing wrong with this in the past, but now, all her children are in Lu Jingning's hands, and one has to bow his head when under someone's roof.

"It's over now, mother, don't think too much about it. The most urgent thing is to recuperate first." Shangguan Si comforted her, "Wait until the mother and daughter have calmed down, then coax them. Li'er won't really want your life."

This is the comfort Shangguan Si gave himself.

Crown Princess Shangguan Li has not shown up since the incident with the antidote. No matter who sent someone to invite her, she was simply dismissed.

Seeing how ruthless Lu Jingning was, Shangguan Si was worried that she would really turn her back on her relatives.

"Don't fool me. This girl killed Wan'er and Langjie'er. Who else can she tolerate?" The old lady was not easy to fool. She had the same idea as Shangguan Si. She wiped her tears and asked seriously, "Back to the point, why would the emperor appoint her as the regent at this critical moment? Could it be that the emperor really wants to support that child of unknown origin?"

Shangguan Si shook his head. Ever since he was severely reprimanded by the Emperor of Southern Liang, he could clearly feel that Prince Shen was becoming more distant from him.

The civil and military officials in the capital were also polite to him, but they also kept a certain degree of caution.

"Who can guess what the emperor is thinking?" Shangguan Si sighed, thinking about going to Prince Shen's mansion in person later to find out more information.

The old lady turned her head and glanced at the sky outside the window when she heard this: "Maybe the sky is going to change."

……

When the Regent Grand Chancellor's imperial edict was issued, the whole court was shocked and everyone was talking about it.

Not only that, within an hour a second imperial edict came from the harem, conferring the title of Prince Ning on Prince Ning and giving him control of the six ministries.

"Snapped!"

Prince Ning waited at the door of the Council Hall for most of the day, but it was almost evening and he still hadn't seen the Emperor of Southern Liang. Eunuch Changxi came out and said that the emperor had just woken up and was too weak to see anyone.

But Prince Ning insisted on going in to take a look.

Eunuch Changxi had no choice but to go in and report. After a while, he led Prince Ning in. When they walked around the screen, they saw Emperor Nanliang lying on the couch, slowly drinking medicine with the help of a palace maid.

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."

The Emperor of Southern Liang simply glanced at Prince Ning and waved his hand.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, please come this way." Eunuch Changxi pointed outside the door. Prince Ning saw that Emperor Nanliang had woken up and wanted to say something, but the other party had lost his patience.

So King Ning had no choice but to step down.

As soon as I returned to Prince Ning's Mansion, the imperial edict came down.

Prince Ning accidentally broke a teacup and suspected that he had heard it wrong. Eunuch Changxi bowed and said, "Prince Ning, the emperor also wants you to be the master of the young prince. Thank you for your trouble."

"Your Highness?" Prince Ning's eyelids twitched even more violently, and he asked anxiously, "Has the emperor already recognized the child?"

Eunuch Changxi nodded: "The Emperor has sent people to check the young prince's background and confirmed that he is the bloodline of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince Ning's throat was blocked. He looked at the prince's crown and the imperial edict and did not move. He did not want to stay in the capital.

As long as we leave the capital, we can definitely change the ending.

He doesn't want to die early.

I don't want to go against Prince Shen.

In the afternoon, he had a showdown with Prince Shen. On the one hand, he was also surrendering. He never thought that the Emperor of Southern Liang would grant him the title of prince and hand over the little prince to him.

In this case, no matter how much he explained to Prince Shen, the other party would not believe him.

"Your Highness Prince Ning?" Eunuch Changxi reminded.

Prince Ning forced a smile as he took the imperial edict and gave a reward according to the rules.

A group of young eunuchs expressed their gratitude.

"Your Highness." Princess Ning came over and said with a worried look on her face, "I think the Emperor is already angry with Prince Shen. He doesn't mean to flatter that child. He just wants to find someone to challenge Prince Shen again."

Prince Ning held the imperial edict in his hand like a hot potato. He smiled bitterly, "So what? The only one who can ascend to that position in the end is Prince Shen."

"Why is Your Majesty so sure?" Princess Ning was puzzled. Although the Emperor was not in good health, he was not bedridden. He had more than one prince, Prince Shen. There were also Prince Lian, Prince Zhan, and Prince Yun, but they were not around.

Prince Ning didn't know how to explain some things. He sighed helplessly, looked at the sky again, and hesitated for a while: "I'm going out for a while. You don't have to wait for me tonight. Go to bed early."
