Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 132
The empress dowager winked at the big maid behind her, who then handed the witch doll in her hand to Lu Wanning.

"Jieyu, let's take a look."

The moment Lu Wanning took the witchcraft doll, her eyes widened, she looked shocked, and murmured, "This...how is this possible?"

Concubine Jing, who had been standing beside the queen mother without speaking, looked at Lu Wanning's expression, and said sympathetically, "Looking at the handwriting on it, does Lu Jieyu feel familiar?"

Lu Wanning nodded in a daze, then shook her head again, and said: "Although the words on this are very similar to the handwriting of the imperial concubine, I believe that the imperial concubine would not do this, and the handwriting is just like that. , if you look carefully, you will find that this is not the handwriting of the imperial concubine."

"Does Lu Jieyu trust the imperial concubine so much?" Concubine Jing asked.

Lu Wanning raised her eyes to look at Concubine Jing, and said: "The concubine and the concubine are both girls of the loyal and brave Marquis. Wouldn't the concubine be harming others and herself if she did this? The concubine thinks that the concubine would not be so confused."

"Besides, the Zhongyonghou Mansion has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and even more loyal to the emperor. How can our girls from the Zhongyonghou Mansion know that witchcraft is taboo and still use it indiscriminately?"

What Lu Wanning said was awe-inspiring, and she had the air of a general's daughter. Luo Chengjing, who had never spoken since, heard Lu Wanning's words, glanced at Lu Wanning, and agreed: "The Zhongyonghou's residence is indeed loyal."

Concubine Jing frowned secretly. She didn't know why Lu Wanning spoke out to defend the noble concubine. Although the emperor's words only said Zhongyong Houdu, it was also an attitude. The emperor believed in the loyalty of Zhongyonghou's mansion, did he also believe in Zhongyonghou? Girls educated by the government wouldn't do such a thing?

The same girl from the Hou family, just now Lu Wanning was defending the noble concubine and Zhongyonghou's mansion with every word and every word, but the noble concubine didn't know to take care of the Zhongyonghou's mansion at all.

The imperial concubine, like the concubine Jing, felt that Lu Wanning must have discovered her actions, and then turned her plan to deal with him.

Lu Wanning sighed, and said: "The imperial concubine misunderstood, this doll was not found by my sister, but the dog raised by the eldest princess found it from the pot of chrysanthemums that you gave my sister."

Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Wanning and pondered for a while, then said, "Then who does Lu Jieyu think did this time?"

Looking at Lu Wanning who was kneeling beside her, a look of surprise flashed across the imperial concubine's face. When Lu Wanning just interrupted her, she thought that Lu Wanning interrupted her to let the emperor and queen mother punish her, but Lu Wanning turned out to be Plead for her.

Hearing this, Lu Wanning handed the witchcraft doll she was holding to the imperial concubine.

As soon as the noble concubine encounters a problem, she will talk about the military exploits made by the Zhongyonghou Mansion. Even if this will make the emperor feel scruples about her because of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, it will also make the emperor have feelings for her and the entire Zhongyonghou Mansion. mind.

After all, with the imperial concubine around, it would be difficult for Lu Wanning to ascend to a high position. Only by getting rid of the imperial concubine can Lu Wanning be able to sit on the imperial concubine position.

Speaking of which, the imperial concubine's eyes glanced at Lu Wanning intentionally or unintentionally. Although she didn't say it clearly, she clearly felt that Lu Wanning was setting her up.

"Who do you think is going to frame you?" Luo Chengjing asked.

The imperial concubine looked at the note pasted on the witchcraft doll, her heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "Your Majesty and the empress dowager have learned from it, my concubine has never written such a note, and I have never seen this witchcraft doll."

This is different from what I thought.

The noble concubine followed Laifu to the Linglong Pavilion, and glanced at Lu Wanning who was standing beside her. She was a little surprised. In her mind, Lu Wanning should be kneeling on the ground in fear at this moment.

The noble concubine originally wanted to say: I beg the emperor to give her justice for the contribution made by the Zhongyonghou Mansion for Dayong, but she just pronounced the word "loyalty" when she was interrupted by Lu Wanning.

Sensing the sight of the imperial concubine, Lu Wanning secretly shook her head in her heart, even if the emperor is generous, he might not like to hear others talk about the merits of his ministers.

She thought that Lu Wanning replaced those witchcraft dolls and put this witchcraft doll imitating the imperial concubine's handwriting in the pot of chrysanthemums that the imperial concubine gave her in order to deal with the imperial concubine.

Hearing this, the imperial concubine looked at Lu Wanning with fierce eyes that wished to pierce Lu Wanning. The doll she asked Baoqing to hand over to Chen An clearly had the birthday characters and names of the Empress and Zheng Jieyu on it, and the handwriting was also Lu Wanning's. The handwriting, now the date of birth on the doll has become Lu Wanning's, and the handwriting has also become her handwriting, which was found in the pot of chrysanthemums she gave to Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning shook her head and said, "I have no doubts, but the pot of chrysanthemums has been taken care of by Chen An, the little eunuch in the palace of my concubine. I think he might know something."

After finishing speaking, the imperial concubine turned to Lu Wanning and said, "Where did Lu Jieyu find this witchcraft doll?"

After thinking about these empress concubines, she turned her head to the emperor and the queen mother and said, "I beg the emperor and the queen mother to make decisions for my concubines. Someone must have intentionally framed my concubines."

"The concubine also thinks that someone framed the concubine in this matter. Let's not talk about the handwriting, just say that the concubine is not stupid. If I really want to curse the concubine, why would I write a note in my usual handwriting? Specially asked to bury the witchcraft doll in the chrysanthemum pot given to the concubine? Isn't this clearly telling everyone that she did it?"

Although the words were not pleasant, there was nothing wrong with pleading for her.

The noble concubine frowned when she heard Laifu say that the queen mother invited her to Linglong Pavilion in the palace, but she didn't think too much about it, thinking that the queen mother let her go because Lu Wanning was a girl from their Zhongyonghou residence.

"The concubine has met the emperor and the empress dowager." The noble concubine saluted.

The imperial concubine glanced at Luo Chengjing with cold eyes, and said with some hesitation: "The concubine doesn't know who wants to harm the concubine, but there are only a few people who want to harm the concubine, and the concubine begs the emperor to watch..."

The queen mother frowned, looked at Lu Wanning, and told the eunuch Lai Fu, "Go to Zhaoyang Palace and bring the noble concubine here."

The empress dowager and the emperor didn't shout, but let the concubine continue to kneel on the ground, saying: "Concubine, take a look, are you familiar with the thing in Lu Jieyu's hand?"

When the imperial concubine heard Lu Wanning mentioning Chen An, a layer of cold sweat broke out in her palms. She wanted to stop her, but she didn't know how to do so.

"Bring people here."

After Luo Chengjing finished speaking, Zhou Man went to bring Chen An who was tied up in the room.

The noble concubine looked at Chen An who came in, and hoped that Chen An would be more sensible and not say anything that should not be said.
