The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Zhao Qingbo smiled slightly. "Su Shi is pregnant now, and her temper is much worse than before. Sometimes I have to give in to her."

Lu Ling said indifferently, "Sister, you're worrying too much. I'm living a very good life in the mountains and don't feel I'm lacking anything. Why would you bother with a single flower?"

Su Shi, however, seemed not to understand and said in an aggressive tone, "Sister, I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that I am petty? After all, you are just a monk now. What qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Lu Ling's face turned completely cold, and she stood up with a flick of her sleeves. "Buddhism is a pure place. If you are here to cause trouble today, please leave."

Su was still angry, but finally shut up.

Zhao Qingbo watched the excitement for a while before speaking out to try to calm down, "Calm down, everyone, and say less."

Lu Yu put the box in her hand on the table.

Zhao Qingbo opened the box himself, and the contents inside made the other two's faces change. "This is what His Highness asked me to bring you."

Su was the first one who couldn't hold back. She stood up and swept the box to the ground with a "clang". A half-new sachet flew out and landed at Lu Ling's feet.

He said bitterly, "Bah, what a peaceful Buddhist place! Who knows what shameful deeds they have done behind the scenes."

At this moment, she was only an arm's length away from Lu Ling.

A blind cat catches a dead mouse. The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener may have taken it to heart. Lu Ling's face turned pale and she didn't say anything for a long time.

In Su's eyes, Lu Ling was guilty of something. Her lower abdomen was aching more and more. She gritted her teeth, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and took a half step towards Lu Ling. "You shameless person—"

Before he could finish his words, he fell heavily to the ground. Su clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, "You, you dared to push me. Ah, my child."

The room was in chaos. Lu Ling was stunned. She stood there at a loss, confusion and panic intertwined on her face. "I——"

Then he saw his former sister looking at him with a sad face. "Lu, what's wrong with you today? Su is pregnant now. Even if she is wrong in ten thousand ways, you shouldn't hit her."

The red liquid flowing from Su's lower body had already soaked the scent sachet on the ground. Lu Ling knew that Su's child could not be saved. The memories that had tormented her day and night, buried deep in her mind, resurfaced. Her nose was filled with a warm, fishy smell. Lu Ling suppressed the urge to vomit and gestured to Xiang Xing to help her walk outside.

"Second Aunt, did you see it was me?" Lu Rong was still in shock and her face was pale.

Thinking this was the "witness" that Mrs. Ma mentioned, Zhang said with difficulty, "Don't be afraid, this will eventually pass."

Lu Yun walked into the yard and took in the situation in the house. A chill appeared in her eyes. When a certain palace fighting drama was popular, someone had taught her that pregnant women were not that fragile and falls would not generally lead to miscarriage.

Various conspiracy theories flashed through my mind. I would like to ask Master Le Fan to come and take a look to find out the truth.

"What did you say? Master Liao Fan is not in the temple?" Lu Yun's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could almost kill a mosquito. It was really like "When it rains, it leaks." "Please tell me the exact whereabouts of the master, little master."

"Before leaving, the master told me that if anyone is looking for him, they can find him by going east along the mountain road through the woods."

There is only a forest around Qingping Temple, right next to my eldest cousin's residence.

Time was running out, so Lu Yun plunged down the mountain path into the woods. The further she went, the thicker the vegetation became, and a white mist drifted around her. After walking for about half an incense stick of time, Lu Yun spotted a light in the distance, its shadowy form indistinct. She began to see double, and her body began to feel heavy. Lu Yun's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground. As she passed out, she had a single thought in her mind: "Master Sanqing, I've been tricked again."

At the end of the mountain, a young man in dark brocade clothes came over, stopped beside Lu Yun, bent down, picked her up horizontally, and finally disappeared on the mountain road.

Lu Ling sat in the courtyard, her screams echoing from the closed door. Instead, she calmed down and carefully recalled the scene. Su kept approaching her, then fell to the ground the next second, accusing her of pushing her.

Lu Ling looked down at her hands, her brows furrowed slightly. She had no recollection of ever raising her hands. Could it be that Su had framed her? But she had already left the palace, her position as concubine long since lost in name only. Why would she risk her unborn child to frame her?

Zhao Qingbo has already ordered people to go to the city to call a doctor. Su's screams are too scary. It's not even three months yet, so the reaction shouldn't be so severe.

The doctor hurried over, and Mrs. Su's voice became much lower. The door was pushed open with a clang, and the maid said in a panic, "Madam, Mrs. Su is bleeding profusely."

Zhao Qingbo stood up and said, "Doctor, please do your best to treat me. I will reward you handsomely later!"

Su's lips turned pale, and a chill spread throughout her body. "I, save me, I don't want to die."

The doctor inserted several silver needles into her body and worked for most of the day before the bleeding stopped.

Zhao Qingbo asked anxiously, "Doctor, what's going on in there?"

The doctor shook his head and sighed, "Madam, the pregnancy doesn't look good to begin with, and it's your first child. After this incident, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get pregnant again in the future. And--" The doctor hesitated to speak.

Zhao Qingbo didn't let him continue. "I understand. Goodbye, doctor." Hongchou presented the doctor with a reward and sent him away.

Behind the outsiders' backs, Lu Yu took out a medicine bag and said, "Master, I found this in Su's carriage."

Zhao Qingbo covered his mouth and nose, very cautiously saying, "Go back and find a doctor."

"Yes," Lu Yu replied softly.

Because Su Shi couldn't move, she had to stay on the mountain tonight. Zhao Qingbo left two people to lock Lu Ling in another meditation room.

Zhang took Rong Jie'er down the mountain with a worried look on her face. Halfway through the journey, the carriage went slower and slower until it finally stopped. The driver said that the axle was broken and the carriage could not go any further, otherwise it would overturn.

Zhang looked at the broken axle and said, "According to the rules of the mansion, you must carefully check every time you go out."

The driver was also puzzled and said aggrievedly, "Madam, I carefully check the carriage every morning and did not find anything unusual this morning."

Too many things had happened today, so Zhang signaled him not to continue. "Take my business card and go to Princess Ning'an's manor to borrow one."

It’s getting late, we should go back quickly.

Lu Rong snuggled up to her mother, very worried. "Mom, I thought my eldest cousin wasn't that kind of person. Will she be in trouble?"

The crime of murdering the heir to the throne could be serious or minor. What was Ma's plan? Zhang was also panicking. She could only pretend to be calm and comfort her daughter softly, "Your sister is still on the mountain. With her watching over you, Lingjie will definitely get away safely."

Suddenly, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and several people were riding horses followed by an extremely gorgeous royal carriage.

Zhang recognized the owner of the carriage and pulled her daughter aside with her head down. Maids Jinhe and Yinhe stood in front to block the prying eyes of their master.

Even so, the leading man in a white robe and jade crown stopped his horse before they approached, sat high on his horse and bowed, "Madam, are you Mrs. Zhang, the wife of Lu Tongzheng?"

Zhang couldn't avoid it any longer, so she knelt with Rong Jie'er and saluted, "Your Highness greets the Third Prince."
