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

The next day, Lu Jingning went to Qinghe on the pretext of meeting Lu Lin's biological mother. Before leaving, Lu Lin held Lu Jingning's hand and said worriedly, "Eldest sister, you must come back soon."

Lu Jingning laughed: "Don't worry, the yard has been arranged, just waiting for your mother to come back so that you can reunite."

Lu Lin forced a smile, scratched his head, and muttered softly: "In fact, my mother is used to the life outside, and may not be able to stand the rules and regulations in the palace. It is better to let my mother stay outside and be free. If she is willing to come, I will find a way to bring her into the palace in the future."

The smile on Lu Jingning's face gradually disappeared.

"Don't get me wrong, sister. I'm just worried that my mother will get involved in some trouble." Lu Lin knew he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained.

Finally, Lu Jingning patted Lu Lin on the shoulder: "Don't think too much."

Then he got on the carriage and drove away gradually.

Lu Lin stared at the back of the carriage in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

The carriage galloped all the way. In order to shorten the journey, Lu Jingning ordered the carriage to travel day and night, and only stop at the post station to change horses and continue the journey.

The original eight-day journey was shortened to five days, and we finally arrived in Qinghe County.

Qinghe County is relatively prosperous, with rich resources, mountains and rivers. People are walking around on the streets, and there are countless vendors hawking their wares. It is a peaceful place.

Before coming, Lu Jingning had already sent someone to rush to inform Princess Qinghe. However, when she arrived at the city gate, no one came to meet her.

It was not until she was settled in the inn that people from Princess Qinghe's mansion came to visit her after a long time.

"Your servant pays his respects to the madam. My princess was very happy to know that the madam has come to Qinghe. Unfortunately, the young master in the family is ill, and the princess is unable to spare the time." The visitor was an elderly maid, and she spoke without any mistakes, leaving no room for error.

"The princess wants you to focus on your own business first. When the young master gets better in two days, I will definitely entertain you well."

Lu Jingning's eyes moved slightly and he nodded: "Okay."

After sending the nanny away, Lu Jingning immediately sent someone to inquire about Princess Qinghe's mansion: "The more detailed the better."

……

Qinghe Princess Mansion

Inside the Chenxiang Courtyard, a woman was holding a three-year-old boy in her arms. The boy was feeling hot all over and was yelling in pain.

The woman was so anxious that she burst into tears: "Be good, Yun'er, don't cry, don't cry, your mother is here."

Yun Ge'er's little face was flushed red and he was crying non-stop. The woman was anxiously walking around with the child in her arms, while the servants beside her looked as if they were used to it.

The woman was Princess Qinghe. She turned to the maid and asked, "Where is the doctor? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Princess, I have sent someone to invite him. Please wait a moment."

Princess Qinghe had no choice but to wait anxiously.

Another half hour passed, and the maid whispered in Princess Qinghe's ear: "Princess, Doctor He was called away by Concubine Xian's people on the way. The master is also over there, and the second young master is also sick."

Princess Qinghe was furious when she heard this: "I brought Doctor He here, why was he taken away by Aunt Xian's people? Go and get him!"

"The master said that the second young master is also sick, so he should come first. He also said that the eldest young master has been ill for more than a day or two, so there is no need to rush." ​​said the maid.

Princess Qinghe was so angry that she coughed repeatedly. She swayed and almost fell down. Fortunately, her maid helped her to stand steadily.

She touched Yun Ge'er's little hand, which was burning hot, and asked again, "Go and get another doctor."

"Princess, the gatekeepers won't let anyone go out."

"Why?" Princess Qinghe's breathing became a little unstable.

The maid was almost crying, and choked up and said, "The old lady lost a very valuable pearl today. She suspected that someone had tampered with it, so she wants to search the whole mansion."

Princess Qinghe was breathing rapidly. She didn't care about anything else and rushed towards Aunt Xian's residence while holding Yun Ge'er. As expected, she was stopped before she reached the door.

"Princess, the second young master just drank the medicine and went to sleep. My aunt hasn't slept for a long time. Please don't disturb her."

"I want to see Doctor He."

"Princess, aren't you making things difficult for us? Doctor He still has to take care of the second young master. If anything happens to the second young master, who can take responsibility?" The nanny guarding the gate blocked their way and refused to let them go no matter what.

Princess Qinghe was angry and anxious, so she turned around and went to find Old Madam Wen again.

Before I even reached the door, I heard Madam Wen yelling at the top of her lungs: "How dare you, that lowly creature, steal my pearl? If I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"

"Madam, calm down. We have blocked the main gate and the second gate. We will definitely find it."

Madam Wen snorted, sat on the chair and panted, raised her head and saw Princess Qinghe coming in, her face immediately darkened again, and even looked at Yun Ge'er in her arms and couldn't help showing disgust, and immediately rubbed her eyebrows: "I was wondering why my head suddenly felt dizzy, it turns out you are here."

This is Madam Wen's usual style. She never looks at Princess Qinghe with a good face.

Princess Qinghe knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, Yun'er has a high fever. Please tell the doorman to ask the maid to go out and get a doctor."

"Call a doctor?" Madam Wen sneered, "What evil things have I done as a mother, and now it is all retribution for my child. If you hadn't shamelessly hooked up with Chen'er, why would Yun'er be so weak and sickly since childhood?"

Princess Qinghe had become numb to being humiliated. She had explained many times that she was forced to drink and went to the wrong place at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the capital, and when she woke up she found herself sleeping with Wen Chen.

At that time, Wen Chen was engaged to the current Aunt Xian.

Because of her status as a princess, the Wen family dared not let the princess be a concubine, so they could only let Aunt Xian suffer. As a result, everyone in the Wen family hated Princess Qinghe.

After marrying the princess, the Wen family not only did not get promoted, but their military power was taken away. Wen Chen also went from being a high-spirited young general to a prince consort with only a nominal title.

All in all, no one in the Wen family likes Princess Qinghe.

"Mother, Yun'er is still young, he is innocent, and he is also the heir of the Wen family. Can you just watch Yun'er get into trouble?" Princess Qinghe shouted at Madam Wen, crying until she was hoarse.

Not only has she been neglected over the years, but her child has also been bullied. Princess Qinghe is somewhat desperate. If anything happens to Yunger, she will not live either.

Madam Wen was impatient: "It's because you are weak that you gave birth to such a weak Yun Ge'er. Who can you blame?"

"Mother……"

"Send the princess back." Madam Wen waved her hand.

The two old women supported Princess Qinghe, one in front and one behind, and lifted her up and dragged her out.

thump

Yunger fell from her arms and hit the ground, crying loudly and looking at Princess Qinghe with grievance, calling for her mother.

"Yun'er!" Princess Qinghe struggled, rushed over and held Yun'er in her arms. Yun'er was already wet all over, and his speech was unclear. His little hands tightly grasped Princess Qinghe's sleeves, and he shouted "Mother, mother".

Princess Qinghe's heart was almost broken.

"It's so noisy!" Madam Wen rubbed her ears and shouted at the two maids, "Are they all dead? Even she can't stop them?"

Hearing that the old lady was angry, the two maids quickly apologized and reached out to pull Princess Qinghe again. At this time, the servant outside the door came to report: "Old lady, the regent is outside the door. He said he came to visit Princess Qinghe."

"The Regent?" Madam Wen thought for a long time before she remembered that this person was Lu Jingning, the prince's beloved daughter.

Madam Wen frowned.

Princess Qinghe's eyes lit up. With someone coming, there was hope.

"Just say that the princess is not feeling well and cannot meet guests." Madam Wen dismissed her without a second thought. She was too lazy to meet the Regent.

The servant was embarrassed and hesitant, "Madam, this lady is already at the door. She also brought a doctor from the capital. She said... that if Princess Qinghe is not seen within half an hour, she will... break down the gate of the Wen family."
