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

It's just dawn

Lu Jingning got up, washed up quickly, and went to find Shangguan. Huamei stepped forward to stop her and said, "Princess, I am used to serving the Crown Princess. I am not used to Zhongling Pavilion. There are so many servants in your courtyard, why must I be the only one?"

Huamei looked sad and said she didn't want to stay.

In Linglong Pavilion, she was the head maidservant beside the Crown Princess. When she arrived at Zhongling Pavilion, she was not even a second-class maidservant, and her food and drink expenses plummeted.

After finally making it to dawn, he immediately came to ask Lu Jingning for help.

Lu Jingning stopped and stared at Huamei. His sharp eyes made Huamei tremble in her heart. She asked awkwardly, "My princess, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Do you know how Cloud Bat died?"

Huamei's heart trembled. The biggest reason why she didn't sleep all night was that Lu Jingning arranged her to live in Yunfu's room.

As long as she closed her eyes, she could hear the whimpering sound.

She was so scared that she couldn't sleep at all.

"The county master..."

"Yun Fu betrayed this princess, so this princess sentenced her to death." Lu Jingning raised his hand to touch Hua Mei's face, and suddenly grabbed Hua Mei's jaw and lifted it up fiercely: "This princess cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes. If anything happens to my mother, all those who serve in Linglong Pavilion will be buried with her!"

When Huamei heard the word "buried with the deceased", she shuddered and looked at Lu Jingning in horror: "Princess...Princess, I dare not."

Lu Jingning sneered, staring at Huamei with her sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see through her. She quickly took out a pill from her arms and stuffed it into Huamei's mouth.

Huamei swallowed it unexpectedly, then covered her neck in horror, trying to take it out. Lu Jingning's hand loosened, and Huamei fell to the ground instantly.

"This princess will give you one last chance to redeem yourself." Lu Jingning said condescendingly: "Go back to mother and listen to my orders. Otherwise, I will ensure that your fate will be worse than that of Yunfu. Not only that, I will capture your sister and everyone you care about and sentence them to death!"

"Princess!" Huamei panicked and kowtowed to Lu Jingning repeatedly: "Princess, please have mercy, it was all Concubine Wan's coercion and inducement. I was forced and helpless. I will never dare to do it again."

She knew that Lu Jingning had a bad temper and had beaten Yun Fu to death yesterday, so he would definitely attack her as well.

"You will go back to serve your mother today. Remember my words!"

"Yes." Huamei responded fearfully.

When they arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Shangguan had just stood up. Seeing her coming, she waved her hand and said, "Come and sit down. Do you want to eat?"

"Not yet." Lu Jingning shook his head. After accompanying Shangguan for breakfast, he heard Yun Zai say that the miracle doctor was taken away by the people from Prince Shen's Mansion yesterday afternoon and has not returned yet.

Shangguan saw her daughter's frowning brows, not as lively as before, and even her eyes looked much more melancholy. She said distressedly, "Aning, mother will be fine."

Lu Jingning didn't want to make Shangguan worry, so he smiled and said flattering words to make Shangguan happy.

As he was speaking, word came from outside that Madam Rong was coming.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess and the Princess." Madam Rong knelt down and saluted. Lu Jingning quickly stepped forward and helped her up: "Madam, there is no need to be so polite."

Madam Rong nodded, looked around and looked at Lu Jingning. She instantly understood what he meant and said, "Madam, don't worry. Everyone in this room is trustworthy."

"In that case, let's begin." Madam Rong took out a silver needle from her sleeve, gave a few instructions not to disturb her, and began to give acupuncture to Shangguan.

After a while, Shangguan's face showed pain, she bit her lips tightly, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead, and soon even her clothes were soaked.

Half an hour later, Madam Rong put away the needle, her brows still furrowed, and took out a pill from her bosom and handed it to Shangguan.

"This is Hogumaru, it's good for you."

Shangguan smacked her lips and shook her head: "This is too expensive. I can't accept it."

"It's already this late, why are you still arguing with me about this? You are too weak. If you don't take the Baogong Pills, you won't be able to endure several acupuncture treatments."

Under Mrs. Rong's persuasion, Shangguan took Baogong Pills, and her complexion improved visibly.

Shangguan looked guilty: "I owe you a favor again. This Baogong Pill is worth a thousand gold coins, and it's hard to get one..."

Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly. When seeing Madam Rong off, he couldn't help but ask about the Baogong Pills. Madam Rong did not hide it either: "This is the secret recipe passed down from our family. It's a pity that it has been lost. I only have one. If your mother can eat three, she will definitely be able to recover for the most part."

"Really?" Lu Jingning was extremely excited.

She had only heard a little about Baogong Pills and didn't know its specific effects, but since Madam Rong said so, she believed it.

"It's a pity that there are only a few Baogong Pills left in the world. Don't be discouraged. I will think of a way." Mrs. Rong said.

After seeing Madam Rong off, Lu Jingning immediately sent someone to inquire about Baogong Pills.

"I heard that Liulizhai has rare items. As long as the price is right, there may be a chance." Yunzai said.

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must fight for it!" Lu Jingning changed into simple clothes without saying a word and prepared to leave the palace.

Yun Zai came forward holding a brocade box and said, "Princess, this was sent by the prince of Duke Suguo."

There were several exquisite hairpins in the brocade box. Lu Jingning just glanced at them and looked back at the makeup box. She had many hairpins like this.

They were all given by Zhao Sui.

She hated hibiscus the most, but Zhao Sui had given her hibiscus flowers several times. She only loved peonies, and these hairpins were missing only peonies.

Lu Jinglang has worn many peony hairpins on his head.

Like himself, Lu Jinglang also loves peonies very much.

Lu Jingning sneered: "So you are so perfunctory to me."

"Princess?" Yun Zai was confused and didn't hear clearly. He just watched Lu Jingning pick and choose from the makeup box, found a lot of hairpins, and put them into the brocade box: "Send all of these to the Suguo Mansion."

"Yes."

Duke Su's Mansion

The brocade box and jewelry were returned. Zhao Sui's face became even uglier when he saw this. The wife of Duke Suguo beside him also gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Did you have a quarrel with Aning?"

Zhao Sui thought for a long time and shook his head.

"Why is this girl so abnormal?" Lady Suguo frowned, "Could it be that someone is giving her advice behind her back?"

"Mother, you're worrying too much." Zhao Sui disagreed: "This must be a new trick that Lu Jingning came up with. She has caused so many troubles over the years."

Hearing her son say this, Lady Suguo recalled the endless tricks that Lu Jingning had used in the past two years, and showed a bit of contempt on her face: "My son is still capable. When the princess comes to the house in the future, I must train him well, so that he won't embarrass himself again."

Zhao Sui was still preoccupied with something, so he nodded perfunctorily when he heard this. Suddenly, he heard a servant come in and say that someone in Liulizhai was asking about Baogong Pills, so he couldn't help but find an excuse to leave.

Liulizhai

The largest antique city in the capital, integrating food, drink, entertainment and fun, is the property of the Xiao family, the richest businessman in the world. Liulizhai is located in the most prosperous location in the capital.

People come and go, and passers-by always look towards Liulizhai unconsciously.

The carriage stopped

Yun Zai came out first, and then helped Lu Jingning get off the carriage in men's clothes: "Sir, do you really want to go in?"

"Now that you're here, let's go in and take a look."

After entering Liulizhai, the waiter came forward to greet him: "Sir, do you want to listen to music or look at paintings, or do you want to get information?"

"I heard that Liulizhai has a rule for passing the level. If you win four games in a row, you can get a condition from Liulizhai. If you lose, you have to offer 5,000 taels of silver."
