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

Lu Yun obeyed her mother's instructions and stayed in the farmhouse obediently without going anywhere. Until one day, Liu Qing brought Xiang Xing to her.

Xiang Xing looked much more haggard. "Miss San, Princess, please save our young lady."

Lu Yun asked someone to bring her a stool. "What's going on? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

It turned out that ever since the eldest branch of the Lu family lost its title, the Third Prince's Mansion completely cut off its supply to Lu Ling. Even the monks in the temple began to feel troubled. Giving them silver was of no use. The rice was moldy and the firewood was wet. Lu Ling had been ill for quite some time.

Xiang Xing originally wanted to ask someone to deliver a message to that person, but she was worried that the matter would be exposed. Seeing that her master's illness was getting worse and worse, she had no choice but to sneak down the mountain to ask the princess for help.

When Lu Yun arrived, she keenly noticed someone sneaking around her eldest cousin's yard.

Now is not the time to deal with these people. Lu Yun walked into the room and saw Lu Ling lying on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, motionless.

"Miss!" Xiang Xing was terrified.

Lu Ling heard her voice murmur a few times, and then returned to silence.

Lu Yun felt her forehead and found it was indeed very hot. Cai He had already walked in with Master Lu Fan.

After taking the pulse, Le Fan remained calm and said, "Perhaps it's because the weather has been so changeable recently, your Majesty has not caught a cold. Wait for me to prescribe some medicine and take it on time, and you will be cured."

Lu Yun took the prescription, glanced at it, handed it to Caihe, and followed the master out.

Lu Yun frowned, "Master, why are there so many new faces in the temple?"

Liao Fan: "My Lady, I am ashamed. Your Majesty has been poisoned."

Lu Yun was not surprised. "It's just those few people. It's really strange that they waited patiently until now to take action."

Liao Fan: "What are your plans next, Princess?"

Lu Yun said helplessly, "Please help me take good care of her, uncle, and tell my cousin what kind of poison she was infected with." After the matter here is settled, we can take the person away and settle the score.

Before leaving, Lu Yun called Xiang Xing over and whispered a few words to her before heading down the mountain to Kyoto. This time, she didn't bother Rou Jia but instead delivered the letter directly to Concubine Li.

After sitting in the teahouse for an hour, Lu Yun finally received the news to enter the palace.

Lu Yun bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Concubine Li signaled her not to be polite, and after taking a closer look at her, she smiled and said, "You've finally recovered. Look at how beautiful you look now."

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you." Lu Yun showed a trace of worry.

Concubine Li sat on the chair, a trace of helplessness on her face. "What you said to me last time, I have already told Concubine Zhao. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Concubine Lu will—" Lu Yun squeezed out two tears. "I just came down from the mountain. Concubine Lu is so sick that she can't speak. The doctor said she was poisoned."

Concubine Li was surprised. "How could it be? Who would dare to do such a heinous thing?"

Lu Yun wiped her tears and said, "My eldest cousin has been asking to leave. If they want the position of concubine, they can take it. I beg Your Majesty to grant my cousin the blessing of leaving the palace."

Concubine Li was thinking of something, and her expression was solemn. "I understand, you can go down."

After the people left, Concubine Li turned to the inner room and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for making you laugh."

Emperor Longqing's expression was calm as he threw the book in his hand onto the table. "Prime Minister Lu and Minister Li's family are constantly coming into the palace to bother you just for the position of a concubine?"

Concubine Li smiled softly and said, "I am not trying to save face by steaming buns. Maybe it is not the case. I don't know what will happen next."

Emperor Longqing snorted coldly, "The third brother likes to join in the fun. I thought he was very capable, but now he can't even manage the affairs of the inner palace."

"What about Lu's matter?" Concubine Li looked at Emperor Longqing hesitantly.

"She's just a woman, but the Marquis of Ping'an's family is truly disgraceful." A flicker of disdain flashed across Emperor Longqing's face. "Also, the position of concubine will remain vacant for now. I want to see which of these two dares to play tricks on me again."

Zhao Qingbo received the oral order and before he could recover from his shock, Su was already happily going to deliver the news to her parents' home.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Zhao Qingbo looked at the third prince. The queen only said that Lu was allowed to leave the house, but did not mention raising the status of Su and Liu.

The Crown Prince was released from house arrest, and the Third Prince went to work in the Ministry of Works. A while ago, his father suddenly wanted to renovate the ports along the coast, and he had been extremely busy these days. He left a sentence, "You can handle it," and got up to go back to the study.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingbo sent out two groups of people, one to the Lu family's main house, and the other to Xishan to deliver the letter.

The Marquis' Mansion was taken back by the imperial court, and Lu Lingcong moved with his family to a four-story house.

The house was purchased in a hurry, and she spent an extra two thousand taels, bringing the total to seven thousand taels. The public treasury was already short of money, and most of the land and farmland had been taken away. If it weren't for the four thousand taels sent by the second wife, I'm afraid Qin Shi wouldn't even have five thousand taels in cash.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Lu Lingping has argued with her several times about the furnishings in the study.

Qin shouted at his departing figure, "It's made of Huanghuali wood, and you still think you're a marquis. Bah!"

Upon hearing that someone was coming from the Third Prince's Mansion, the couple hurried to meet him.

Lu Yu raised her chin proudly. "Someone from the palace came yesterday and ordered Concubine Lu to leave the palace and live separately. From now on, she has nothing to do with the Third Prince's palace."

Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her eyes. "What about the dowry of the Empress?"

Lu Yu said sarcastically, "Of course I will return it in full. Madam Qin, please send someone to transport it away as soon as possible!"

Sun, who was hiding in the dark, heard the conversation clearly. Her eyes instantly turned red. She gritted her teeth and rushed over, "Master, you can't do that. Are you going to expel Sister Ling from the Lu family?"

Qin sneered, "Sun, throughout the dynasties, concubines who were expelled from the palace only had the same fate as the ancient Buddha. Now that Lingjie has offended the Third Prince, how dare our Lu family keep her!"

Aunt Sun knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please, Master, please, Madam, please don't expel Ling Jie'er from the clan. Please leave her a chance to live!"

Aunt Sun cried miserably. Lu Lingping sighed, "Sun, you know the current situation in the mansion."

Qin sneered, "If you can't bear to leave her, why don't you go to the temple to accompany her? We can save some money in our house." After saying that, she turned around.

In order to give face to Ling Jie'er, the old lady gave her a dowry of 10,000 to 20,000 silver coins. With this money, life in the mansion would have been so much better.

Taking out Lingjie'er's dowry list, Qin's mind began to calculate.

When the news of leaving the house spread to the mountain, Lu Ling hugged Xiang Xing and cried with joy. She looked at Lu Yun with red eyes and said, "Thank you."

Lu Yun handed the document over and was genuinely happy for her. "Now all we need is news from the mansion."

Lu Ling took the document and put it away carefully, then took out a small red lacquer box and said, "Just in case, please keep some of it for me, sister."

Qin took back all the dowry. Apart from the used silk, not a penny of cash was found. She was probably still in Lu Ling's hands. Early the next morning, she called a few strong maids, got on a carriage and headed straight for Qingping Temple.

Xiang Xing came out to pour water and saw several people standing in the yard. She hurriedly greeted them and said, "Greetings, Madam."
