After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

In the backyard, the gatekeeper was awakened by the noise in the front yard. She glanced at the woodshed behind her, then went to the front out of curiosity to see what was going on.

Mrs. Lu also heard the scream from before. She saw the old woman leaving through the crack in the door, and quickly pulled hard at the broken wooden door.

She was quite strong to begin with, and after shaking it for a while, the wooden door began to shake.

"Oh!"

The wooden door was finally knocked open, and Lu cautiously poked her head out. She looked around, and after making sure no one was there, she crouched and ran to the wall.

The Jia Mansion covered a large area, and as she walked, she found herself walking around the front yard.

Shen Nian got the silver from Jia Baocai and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise from behind. He thought it was the guards of the Jia family coming, so he drew his sword and turned around. But he saw a woman running towards the wall in panic.

Shen Nian became suspicious and immediately ordered his men to stop Lu's way.

Lu was dragged by the arm and taken away. She was shocked but soon calmed down. "I am from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Please let me go."

Shen Nian saw Lu's face clearly in the moonlight and was stunned for a moment.

What is this called?

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find any place, and you won't be able to find it without any effort at all?

Lu didn't know that he was the prince's man, and revealing his identity would only put him in a dangerous position.

Shen Nian narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and raised his hand, "Take her away."

Compared to the money, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would probably be happier to see Lu.

"What are you doing? Let me tell you, I am the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

"Shut her mouth."

Shen Nian took the person to the prince's residence outside the palace, and after the palace gate was opened, he quickly went to the East Palace.

The Third Prince also got the news. He stood up from his chair in shock. "Didn't I tell you to keep a close watch on him? How could he have escaped?!"

Zhao Zhong looked pale, "Last night, a group of bandits came out of nowhere and ran to the Jia Mansion to rob. They took Lu away, but did not send her back to the Zhenguo Mansion."

The Third Prince became even more angry after hearing this, "Where did these bandits come from under the Emperor's feet?"

It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would definitely hold him responsible.

What's more, he had other plans in mind for keeping Lu, and now all his plans were ruined!

Zhao Zhong said weakly, "That's what Jia Baocai said. But I sent people to check, and they seemed to have disappeared after leaving the Jia Mansion. There is no news at all."

The Third Prince paced back and forth. After a moment, his eyes flashed, "Go, tell the news to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and say that Lu is in the hands of the Crown Prince!"

Since Xu Lingyun took office as Jingzhao Yin, the people in Beijing did not lock their doors at night. The arrival of that group of thieves was too strange.

Thinking of the prince emptying the treasury to pay compensation to those merchants, he would never doubt that the prince would do such a ridiculous thing.

Regardless of whether it was the prince's fault or not, the blame must be put on him!

In the East Palace, the prince looked at the tied-up Lu and laughed out loud, "God is really helping me."

He was worried that he couldn't find any bargaining chips to check and balance the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

At this time, a servant came to report that the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to see her.

The prince raised an eyebrow, "They came quickly."

He raised his chin towards Shen Nian who was standing beside him, "Shen Nian, go out and tell them that if they want someone, they can use Liu Laogui to exchange for him!"

Shen Nian took the order and left. The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo stood outside the door with sharp and anxious eyes.

Shen Nian bowed respectfully and said, "Madam, you know what the prince wants."

Bai Youyou looked at him coldly, "Tell the prince that at noon today, we will go to Qingling Mountain."

At this time, it was only an hour and a half away from Qingling Mountain, and it would take another hour to travel from the capital to Qingling Mountain. Time was tight, so the prince had no time to play any tricks.

It was still the same place. Not only did the Crown Prince have no time to do anything, but when the Third Prince received the news, both sides had already arrived at Qingling Mountain.

He really didn't expect that the person was really in the prince's hands.

"Liu Laogui must not fall into the hands of the prince. Zhao Zhong, you must take people to intercept him immediately. You must not let Liu Laogui enter the capital alive!"

If the prince gets Liu Laogui, the magic powder that he asked Xu Sheng to refine will be useless.

Liu Laogui must die!!!

Zhao Zhong quickly gathered his men and set up an ambush on the road that must be taken back to Beijing. On the other side, Bai Youyou exchanged Liu Laogui for Lu.

When she saw her daughter, Mrs. Lu cried out and threw herself into Bai Youyou's arms.

"Youyou, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Bai Youyou raised her hand and stroked her quilt, saying softly, "No, mother will live a long life."

"You don't know, those people locked my mother up in the woodshed and only gave her two steamed buns a day."

Mrs. Lu cried so hard that she completely forgot that she was the mother and Bai Youyou was the daughter.

Lu Chen looked at her thin body and listened to her complaints. His face was colder than the ice at his feet. "Aunt, you and Youyou go back first. I will go and avenge you!"

Bai Youyou also felt resentful, "You have benefited from my Zhenguo Mansion, but now you dare to play tricks behind my back."

They could never have imagined that the third prince would lock someone up in a merchant's house and tell others that she was Jia Baocai's mistress.

No wonder they couldn’t find anyone after searching for so long!

"Mom, let's go back first. Your cousin will avenge you."

Mrs. Lu wiped her tears and obediently let her daughter lead her to the carriage.

At the court the next morning, the third prince told the ministers that they had been poisoned.

"Father, I have already found out that you all were poisoned."

He had Doctor Hu, who was almost dead, dragged up, "It was the Crown Prince who ordered Doctor Hu to prepare the poison, and also ordered people to put the poison in the tea of ​​the gentlemen."

The emperor had already guessed it in his mind, but when the evidence was before him, he was still furious.

"Go, bring that rebellious son up to me!"

When the prince received the summons, he hurriedly followed the eunuch who delivered the message to the Golden Throne Hall.

"Rebellious son, how dare you order Imperial Doctor Hu to poison the court officials!"

As soon as the emperor saw him, his eyes widened with anger.

In the past, he had turned a blind eye to the wrongdoings of this rebellious son, but now he has become bolder and even dares to reach out to him!

The prince knelt down hurriedly to explain, "Father, you are wise. This was definitely not done by me. It must be my third brother who slandered me."

The emperor snorted coldly and looked at the third prince, "Do you have any solid evidence?"

The Third Prince bowed and said, "Father, I have found the person who poisoned the place. He is the eunuch Ah Fu from the Golden Throne Hall. I have arrested him and brought him to justice."

As he said this, he signaled his men to bring up the trembling Ah Fu.

When Ah Fu saw this scene, he immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. It was Doctor Hu who ordered me to do this."

Doctor Hu was dying, but his confession was now placed before the emperor.

"I am the guilty minister under the order of the Crown Prince..."

His white undershirt was soaked in blood and turned black and red. His legs were twisted and it took all his strength to squeeze out the few words from his throat.

The prince gnashed his teeth in anger, pointed at Doctor Hu and cursed, "How dare you frame me, you bastard!"

The emperor was furious. "Come here, take the prince to the clan house and interrogate him on a later date!"

The prince was still struggling and shouting for justice when he was dragged away.

The third prince raised his lips slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

But before he could feel proud for long, he couldn't laugh anymore.
