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

Lu Yun's pupils trembled. Gong Jinbao? Just as she was about to concentrate and listen, she heard familiar footsteps coming from the lobby ahead. Lu Yun quickly jumped over the wall and pressed against it to continue listening.

The middle-aged man spoke with a thick South Vietnamese accent, "Jin Bao, who are you talking to?"

The female voice disappeared completely, and only Gong Jinbao responded, "Father, I'm just thinking and talking to myself. You should go to sleep."

The middle-aged man coughed a few times and said, "Go to bed soon. Go home early tomorrow and don't let your mother worry."

"Oh, I understand, Dad."

After a while, a person was pushed out of the back door. When the door closed, the woman weighed the silver in her hand and was very satisfied. She had worked so hard for so many days to pry the person over. He was really generous.

Lu Yun, lurking in the shadows, struck the woman on the back of her neck like lightning, sending her collapsing to the ground. Lu Yun then carried her on his back and quickly left.

I returned to the princess's mansion safely.

Roujia and Lutan were obviously still waiting for her, and they were shocked to see her bringing someone back.

Lu Yun didn't explain too much. She tied the man up, gagged him, and threw him into an empty room at the back. "Roujia, I want to go to the palace to see His Majesty."

Roujia shook her head and refused, "No, what if the emperor punishes you for this?"

Lu Yun's face was serious. "I have something important to report to Your Majesty. This matter is very important."

Roujia was obviously stunned when she heard this. "What's the matter? Lu Xiaosan, don't scare me." Lu Tan was already getting nervous, and the master and servant stared at the person in front of them intently.

Lu Yun took out the small box and took out the one at the bottom. "Have you ever smelled these boxes of incense anywhere else?"

Before Roujia could say anything, Lu Tan exclaimed in a low voice, "Master, I've seen this box in Changchun Palace!"

Roujia's face turned grim as she sniffed and nodded, agreeing with Lutan's statement. "The Empress of Changchun Palace likes to use sandalwood and agarwood when she worships Buddha. In the past six months, I have always felt that the fragrance is not elegant enough and has a strange smell. But since the Empress did not say anything, no one dared to ask. Ning'an, what is going on?"

Lu Yun's eyes were complicated. "Rou Jia, the fewer people who know about this, the better. I'm sorry I can't tell you for now. Whether it's Changchun Palace, the Li family, or even the two Li concubines around the prince consort, don't touch anything they give you, whether it's food or things you can use!"

Roujia was terrified after hearing these words. She cautiously asked, "Does the Li family want to...?" and secretly made a beheading gesture.

Lu Yun nodded and shook her head. "If it were in the past, it would be about the same. But now I can't say for sure. In fact, I don't have any idea. But this matter is of great importance. I can't stay out of it."

The fact that Baibanjiao was transported from Nanyue to Kyoto alone would have made the entire Nanyue Palace suspect to those with ulterior motives. The situation in the north was unclear, and if there was any further discord in the south...

If she didn't completely trust Zhou Boli, Lu Yun would have every reason to suspect that he had ulterior motives in sending the Gong family all the way to the northern border.

Alas, it’s so tiring to be a little angel of peace!

Unexpectedly, Roujia suddenly became excited, her eyes sparkling. "Okay, okay, I'll take you to the palace tomorrow and treat you to a good show. By the way, is Concubine Li's pregnancy true or not?"

Lu Yun was at a loss for words. "You're too slow to react. Of course it's fake. I tricked her."

Roujia rubbed her hands together, "Lu Xiaosan, just go ahead and do it." After being tortured by these weirdos from the Li family for so long, she could finally vent her anger.

So the following scene appeared at the gate of the princess's mansion the next day. The two concubines who came to pay their respects were thrown out of the gate along with their maids, and the scene was in a mess.

A scream of "Ah" raised a cloud of dust. Lu Tan swore to the sky that she saw Big Li taking advantage of the chaos to step hard on Little Li's concubine.

Changchun Palace reacted quickly. Just after lunch, an old nanny came to the palace and demanded in a firm tone that Roujia enter the palace immediately.

Madam Zhuang smiled with a forced smile and leaned over to invite, "Princess Roujia, please come in!"

Roujia sat still, wiping the tea bowl carelessly. "Madam Zhuang, what did the Empress Dowager say?"

Madam Zhuang's smile faded slightly. "The Empress Dowager is waiting in the palace now. Princess, please come quickly."

Roujia slowly stood up and put her hand on Lutan's hand, and Lu Yun followed with her head down.

"Wait!" Madam Zhuang shouted sharply, "Who is this?"

"How dare you!" Roujia glared, and Lutan raised her hand to slap her. Madam Zhuang was slapped hard, and her eyes were full of disbelief. "Princess..."

Roujia narrowed her eyes and said, "So Madam Zhuang knows I'm a princess."

Madam Zhuang lowered her head, her attitude still firm. "I dare not. The palace has its own rules. Princess, please tell me the identity of this person."

"Who do you think you are to question my faults? You're just a servant. Oh, I understand. You're just eager to find something to hold against me so you can take credit for it." Roujia said angrily, her firepower at full force. "Madam Zhuang, I must bring this person with me today, otherwise I won't go."

Lu Yun entered the palace as she wished and had a smooth journey to Changchun Palace.

As Madam Zhuang turned around, she snorted, not too loud or too softly. After a while, the main door opened again. Madam Zhuang had a look of anticipation on her face. "Princess, please!"

Roujia took a deep breath and entered the hall. Lu Yun quickly scanned the scene in the hall and felt very sad. Not only the layout but also the furnishings in the room no longer resembled the style of the Empress Dowager Shangsheng.

The room was extravagant and luxurious, lavish to the extreme. The scent of the incense in the room was indeed, as Roujia had said, not elegant enough, with a tinge of something else.

Empress Dowager Li wore an eggplant-purple Shu brocade palace gown embellished with a colorful phoenix. Her hair was in an unusually elaborate bun, and her hair was piled high with pearl hairpins. Her graceful demeanor was still there, but the gloom on her face had been forced down by a factor of four, and her cheeks had already begun to sag.

Roujia bowed hastily, and without being called, she walked away and sat down.

Empress Dowager Li's expression became even uglier, her chest began to rise and fall violently, and she angrily scolded, "Roujia, you are so bold today!"

Roujia pretended to be confused and said, "Empress Dowager, what do you mean by this? I don't understand."

"Bang!" Madam Zhuang slammed the table on behalf of the Empress Dowager. "Your Majesty, the Princess has been acting quite abnormally today. Not only did she hit this old servant, she also repeatedly spoke rudely and insulted the two concubines."

Empress Dowager Li immediately believed it. "It seems I was too lenient with you last time. Come!" Two old maids suddenly appeared in the room. One on the left and one on the right, they stood behind Princess Roujia with familiarity. "Princess, please kneel outside for a full hour."

Seeing Roujia not moving, the two old maids immediately reached out to pull her away, but Roujia screamed "Ah!" and jumped up from her seat, throwing the cup next to her at the two people behind her. Lu Yun tried hard to suppress her laughter, and while everyone in the room was still in shock, she tiptoed slightly and the chair fell behind her, and the fruit plate on it crackled and shattered to the ground.

"You, are you crazy?" Empress Dowager Li trembled with anger and climbed up from her seat. "Today, I will punish you by making you kneel for another hour!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Roujia pretended to be crazy and ran out, with her two maids chasing after her. "Murder! Murder!"
