Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Ning Luyang and Jiang Chuchu were also in a bad mood.

Ning Luyang hated Ning Yunxiao and Xiao Xingrong for the matter in Jingzhou, but the three of them kept it a secret from him alone!

Not only did he miss the opportunity to make great achievements, but he was also ridiculed by others because he was not rewarded based on merit. This made Ning Luyang very angry, but he had no place to vent.

Besides being angry, he couldn't help but involve Jiang Chuchu.

In Ning Luyang's opinion, although Jiang Chuchu was too jealous, if she hadn't been upset every day and needed to be coaxed, he would not have missed the opportunity!

Comparing her with Jiang Lige, this girl is smart and clever, far better than Jiang Chuchu!

Moreover, Empress Dowager Jiang attaches great importance to Jiang Lige. If she wants to make him a prince and build a palace, she will probably have to...

Jiang Chuchu had no idea what Ning Luyang was thinking. She only knew that Jiang Lige had accomplished something right under her nose. It was obvious that Jiang Lige had been on guard against her for a long time, but had never shown it at all!

He is really scheming!

If this is the case, then the old strategy of boiling a frog in warm water is no longer applicable. The only solution now is...

The two people, each with their own ulterior motives, had surprisingly the same goal:

Let Jiang Lige marry Ning Luyang as soon as possible!

At that time, the jealous Jiang Lige had not noticed anything at all, and was only concentrating on investigating the case of Doctor Huang's murder of the Queen Mother.

"Today, Imperial Physician Huang's activities were unusual. He checked in at the Imperial Hospital, oversaw its affairs as usual, and then went to Funing Palace to see the Empress Dowager.

She personally boiled the medicine and sent it to the main hall, then left the palace. On the way, she met Concubine Ling, but the father and daughter did not communicate with each other. They just said hello and left.

After leaving the court, Doctor Huang returned home alone, and dinner was as usual..."

Hearing words that were almost identical to those from yesterday, Jiang Lige couldn't help but feel a headache. The people he sent out followed Doctor Huang for several days in a row, but they couldn't find anything wrong!

This matter can't be dragged on like this!

After all, if time goes on for a long time, by the time the medicine is changed and the pulse is taken, Empress Dowager Jiang's health condition will inevitably be exposed.

Jiang Lige had a severe headache, but Song Yue was lost in her own gossip.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. How could a father and daughter become such strangers? It's simply unbelievable!"

Jiang Lige, who was struggling with his food and not knowing how to taste it, was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Suddenly, he turned around and said excitedly:

"Yeah! Isn't that abnormal?"

Song Yue was puzzled by the question, and nodded with a shrinking neck, "It's quite abnormal."

The sudden flash of inspiration was like an invisible rope that tightly linked the cause and effect. Jiang Lige, who had been melancholy for a long time, finally figured out the connection.

He happily stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth and said with a smile, "Let's go and pay our respects to our great-aunt!"

"what?"

Just like that, Song Yue, with a confused look on her face, was dragged into Funing Palace by Jiang Lige.

As luck would have it, as soon as Jiang Lige entered Funing Palace, he met Doctor Huang who was carrying medicine.

Jiang Lige deliberately made trouble, and Doctor Huang couldn't dodge it, so he poured a bowl of medicine on Jiang Lige.

Jiang Lige has always had a hot temper, so naturally he couldn't tolerate this. After being troubled many times, Doctor Huang also lost his temper. The two of them quarreled so much that even the little maid in the palace next door poked her head in to watch.

In the end, it was Nanny Kong who heard the noise in the main hall and came out to mediate.

Nanny Kong was still counting on Doctor Huang to see the Empress Dowager, and she couldn't afford to offend him, so she scolded Jiang Lige for being "willful".

Jiang Lige's face turned red with anger, and he angrily spoke to Doctor Huang.

"Humph! I will definitely find evidence of your murder of the Empress Dowager!"

After saying that, he pushed away the crowd with a flushed face and left the Funing Palace.

That night, when he was off duty, Doctor Huang accidentally broke his leg. Nanny Kong was worried that Jiang Lige would take revenge again, so she asked Doctor Huang to stay in Funing Palace temporarily.

The stories that "Princess Zhaohua was domineering and deliberately made things difficult for Doctor Huang" and "Princess Zhaohua maliciously designed to make Doctor Huang break his leg" spread throughout the six palaces at lightning speed.

When people heard the news, some were gloating, some were gossiping, and some were worried.

In Lingxin Pavilion, Concubine Ling got angry.

"Father, what a fool! Why would he go and provoke that devil for no reason? Even the Empress avoids this little devil. Is he someone you can easily mess with?"

The maid lowered her head cautiously. "Princess Zhaohua has always been like this. I think Your Excellency is at her wit's end. Your Majesty, the most urgent thing right now is to prevent Princess Zhaohua from catching Your Excellency from doing anything wrong."

After hearing this, Ling Jieyu calmed down.

"You're right. Send someone to ask Princess Zhaohua."

"Yes!"

Jiang Lige has a bad temper and has offended countless people. Qingge Cottage seems to have many servants, but in fact it has many spies, and it is as leaky as a sieve.

As soon as Jiang Lige finished his tantrum, he discussed with others viciously about starting the investigation based on the prescription written by Doctor Huang. Then, the news reached Concubine Ling's ears.

The rest depends on who moves faster.

That night, the Funing Palace was filled with gloom and sorrow. The source of infection could not be found, and even if new medicines were used, they were of little use. Empress Dowager Jiang's health deteriorated, and today she was at the end of her strength.

In Funing Palace, some young palace maids started to cry. Madam Kong was so angry that she drove them out and told them not to tell Qingge Cottage.

The implication is to avoid Princess Zhaohua from causing trouble.

The clever little palace maid understood and even refused the tonic that Jiang Lige sent.

When Jiang Lige heard the news, he was furious again. He had to go to the palace in person, had a big quarrel with the palace maid who tried to stop him from coming to the palace, and then left in anger.

This commotion made the already panic-stricken Funing Palace even more chaotic, and even alarmed Emperor Shengwu.

Concubine Ling received the news and arrived in time, entering the Funing Palace in the name of attending to the sick.

After midnight, Empress Dowager Jiang's condition worsened. The eunuchs and palace maids were busy watching basins of blood being carried out of the main hall.

Ling Jieyu knew that the time had come...

The medicinal residue is stored in a side hall of Funing Palace. Once Empress Dowager Jiang goes there tonight, Jiang Lige will definitely ask Emperor Shengwu to check the medicinal residue tomorrow. She only needs to replace the medicinal residue without anyone noticing, and she can get away with it!

The palace maids guarding the side hall had already been sent away by Concubine Ling, and the candles had been extinguished in advance.

Even so, she still carefully looked around to confirm, and then entered the side hall under the protection of the maid.

Concubine Ling had already found out where the medicinal residue was stored. She entered the side hall as if it were no one's business, and went straight to the pharmacy.

The moment they entered the pharmacy, the originally dark room suddenly became bright. Ling Jieyu looked closely and found that it was Jiang Lige.

Jiang Lige crossed his arms with a proud look on his face, and the night pearls in the box next to him were emitting a dazzling light.

"Jieyu Ling, I have been waiting for a long time!"
