After listening to this, Jiang Ningwan, who had a serious expression, suddenly chuckled.

A hint of confusion flashed across Lu Qingheng's eyes.

"why are you laughing?"

Jiang Ningwan sneered: "I have severed all ties with the Ling family. Do you think these things can threaten me?"

"Burn it, throw it away, it's up to you."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan took Pei Xunzhi and walked around Lu Qingheng and left.

Lu Qingheng stood there in shock.

how is this possible.

Even if she severed her relationship with the Ling family, her feelings for them would not disappear suddenly. Moreover, Ling Chaowen and his sister had chilled her heart, but the other people in the Ling family had not.

After they walked away, Pei Xunzhi couldn't help but ask her: "Do you really not care about those things?"

Jiang Ningwan's eyes were cold. "How could I not care? But my loved ones are gone, and the living have to move on."

"If I were really threatened by Lu Qingheng, it would be more trouble than it's worth."

Pei Xunzhi smiled and said, "It's great that you think so."

"After all, when the Ling family was confiscated, countless things went into the national treasury. Over the years, those things that were given away as rewards and ended up in the hands of outsiders, if I were to use every one of them to threaten you, would you still want to live?"

As they were chatting, they walked over the rockery and were startled by the scene in front of them.

They didn't know when Lu Qingheng had gone around in front of them again.

By the lake, Lu Qingheng was pinching Ling Jinlan's neck and leaning her body towards the lake.

The ice in the lake has melted in winter, but it is still covered with a layer of frost, and the cold is biting.

"Are you crazy? You dare to attack in the Imperial Garden? Let him go!" Pei Xunzhi shouted angrily.

Lu Qingheng had already lost his mind and pushed Ling Jinlan to the lakeside, "Remove the blacklist of Jinghong Pavilion!"

"I don't believe you can really watch Ling Jinlan fall!"

Lu Qingheng also wanted to test whether Jiang Ningwan really didn't care about the life and death of the two siblings.

Threats by letter don't work.

Then let Jiang Ningwan see it with her own eyes!

However, Jiang Ningwan did not react as expected. She looked calm and indifferent.

"up to you."

Jiang Ningwan pulled Pei Xunzhi up and turned to leave.

"Sister!" Ling Jinlan cried anxiously, "Sister...save me..."

Jiang Ningwan didn't even turn around.

Only fools fall for it.

Lu Qingheng was extremely angry. Seeing that his plan failed, he was about to let go of Ling Jinlan.

But unexpectedly, Ling Jinlan broke free from her hand and jumped into the lake.

"what!"

A cry of surprise came.

With a splash, Ling Jinlan suddenly fell into the lake.

Jiang Ningwan turned around in shock and saw Ling Jinlan struggling in the icy lake water. "Help... Help..."

Pei Xunzhi saw this and immediately shouted: "Help! Help! Lu Qingheng pushed Ling Jinlan into the lake!"

Everyone nearby who heard the noise rushed over.

Jiang Ningwan jumped into the lake with a splash and rescued Ling Jinlan. The cold lake water was like a knife, piercing her bones.

"Sister Wan!" Pei Xunzhi quickly untied his cloak and put it on Jiang Ningwan.

Jiang Ningwan gave the cloak to Ling Jinlan.

Ling Jinlan's eyes were red. She stood up, looking extremely embarrassed and tearful, and looked at Lu Qingheng.

"Princess, I have no grudge against you, why do you treat me like this?"

The choked and crying voice made people feel extremely pity.

Lu Qingheng was shocked and looked at Ling Jinlan in disbelief.

They are in the same group!

I originally thought that Ling Jinlan jumped into the water to frame Jiang Ningwan.

Why……

"Ling Jinlan you!"

But as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone started to criticize her: "Princess, you can't be so arrogant and conceited just because you're pregnant with Wu Quxing, right?"

"How could the Second Miss of the Ling family, who is so gentle, provoke you?"

Lu Qingheng angrily defended himself: "She jumped in on her own!"

Pei Xunzhi angrily scolded: "I saw you push her with my own eyes, and you even used her to threaten Sister Wan to remove you from the blacklist of Jinghong Pavilion. It turns out you also know how to be ashamed."

"I thought you had lost all shame a long time ago."

When this matter was mentioned, the people present felt that this was the fact.

Everyone knows about the blacklist of Jinghong Pavilion.

"A person with such low character should stay away from her."

"What bad luck."

Everyone spoke with disdain and disgust.

Those looks and words were like knives, stabbing into Lu Qingheng.

She couldn't argue.

She didn't push Ling Jinlan at all!

Jiang Ningwan and Ling Jinlan, led by the palace servants, immediately went to change their wet clothes.

Jiang Ningwan didn't feel unwell.

However, Ling Jinlan started coughing repeatedly, and when he returned to the Imperial Garden again, he fainted all of a sudden.

It scared a lot of people.

The queen quickly asked someone to invite the imperial physician, who treated Ling Jinlan and then hurriedly sent her back to Duke Ling's mansion.

Pei Xunzhi said dissatisfiedly: "Empress, it's Lu Qingheng's fault that Ling Jinlan is like this. She dared to do such a thing at the Empress's flower viewing banquet. Isn't she going against the Empress?"

Others also spoke up: "Yes, we saw it too."

In this situation, the queen could not always favor Lu Qingheng.

He could only scold her: "This is the imperial palace. How can you be so tactless? No matter what the dispute was, you shouldn't push someone into the lake."

"Since you are pregnant, I will not punish you. Go back and copy the scriptures ten times."

Lu Qingheng felt very aggrieved and gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes!"

The Queen gave her a disappointed look.

The child wasn't even born yet, but she was already so impatient to show off that she couldn't hold it back for ten months and couldn't bear to be used too much.

It’s best not to cause her any more trouble!

Just at this moment, Lu Qingheng, who was about to leave, suddenly covered his abdomen with his hands in unbearable pain.

Unable to stand steadily, he slowly squatted on the ground and called out hurriedly: "Imperial Physician...Imperial Physician!"

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and those who were close to him stepped back, not daring to touch Lu Qingheng.

Jiang Ningwan's eyes flashed when she saw this, and she immediately pulled Pei Xunzhi back to the farthest distance. She couldn't let Lu Qingheng catch her and frame her.

The queen was startled and quickly stood up and stepped forward, but she didn't dare to get too close.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly having stomachaches?"

"Imperial Physician! Send the Imperial Physician here quickly!"

However, when the palace maids were on their way to call the imperial physician, Lu Qingheng was already in so much pain that he couldn't get up and was in great pain.

The queen was extremely anxious.

But all I could do was watch.

"Blood! Bleeding!"

Suddenly someone exclaimed and pointed at Lu Qingheng's body.

Blood was already flowing out from under the pink cloak.

Lu Qingheng was so frightened that his face turned pale and his eyes were red. "Imperial Physician! Save my child... my child..."

The imperial physician arrived soon.

Seeing this scene, he was so scared that his face turned pale.

"Hurry and carry the Crown Princess into the room!"

Lu Qingheng was settled in a nearby room in Qixia Palace. Three or four imperial doctors came and were busy in the room. The palace servants brought out basin after basin of blood.

Before a cup of tea had passed, the imperial physician came out and shook his head regretfully.

"Empress, the Crown Princess's child...could not be saved."
