The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 328, Rat Thrower

Lu Ning could see Princess Qin's thoughts clearly, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Grandmother, the Princess Mansion and King Qin's Mansion are two different families. Even if you want to kneel, you have to go to the Princess Mansion, not King Qin's Mansion!"

"Sister Ning, although your mother is a princess, she is also the daughter-in-law of Prince Qin's Mansion. You are a descendant of the Lu family. Why is this child so stubborn? You can't even say a few words. Apologize to your grandmother."

Although Meng was consoling, there was a bit of schadenfreude in his tone that couldn't be concealed.

Princess Qin's face was also gloomy, and she looked a little impatient at Lu Ning's gaze.

Lu Ning glanced at Ms. Meng, "It's true, but Ershen seems to have forgotten that my mother is the eldest princess of Dayong. This is the law, and the second aunt is belittling the royal family by saying that. Let Qin Wangfu bear the reputation of being disrespectful to the royal family?"

Meng's hand that was about to pick up the teacup immediately stopped when she heard the words, her face froze for an instant, and she looked back at Lu Ning, her eyes turned cold in vain.

Princess Qin was also so angry that she slapped the table fiercely, "Go and invite the uncle!"

Lu Ning's words are irrefutable, logically, Princess Xinyang is the most honorable person in the whole Prince Qin's mansion, followed by King Qin and Princess Qin, the princesses are golden branches and jade leaves after all.

What Lu Ning said was actually correct, it's just that Princess Xinyang has been too lazy to care about it all these years, and she just turned a blind eye.

Lu Ning pursed her lips, it was useless to find Lu Shengyuan, these days Princess Xinyang was in prison, Lu Shengyuan was never worried at all, and she never ran around for Princess Xinyang once.

If Princess Qin wants to use filial piety to suppress herself, it is a big mistake, Lu Ning will not give him any face.

Soon, Lu Shengyuan came, and as expected, there was no trace of sadness on his face, but he was full of anger.

"Mother and concubine." Lu Shengyuan first bowed to salute, then stood up and glared at Lu Ning angrily.

"Nie Zhan, I'm getting more and more senseless. In Yongzhou City, your mother used to spoil you, so I just turned a blind eye to it. Now that I'm back, I still don't know how to restrain myself. How could I have a daughter like you!"

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lu Ning with no emotion in his eyes, cold, and even more annoyed that Lu Ning left without saying goodbye a few days ago, offended the Queen Mother, and avoided marriage with Prince Chen's son.

"Nie Zhan, kneel down to me. You were really taught by your mother. What you learned is all messed up. Later, I will ask you a nun to teach you what is the rule, so that one day you won't break the law." You made a big mistake, and you'll embarrass the Lu family!"

Lu Shengyuan didn't look down on Lu Ning at all, let alone Princess Xinyang, who was imprisoned. To be honest, Lu Shengyuan still had a bit of schadenfreude, and it was right to suffer more.

Besides, Lu Ning's marriage should be decided by his father.

"Father means that the royal etiquette that my mother has accepted since childhood is a mess. Is my father questioning the royal family?"

Lu Ning grabbed hold of Lu Shengyuan's words and sneered, "When I see the queen mother later, I will have to ask her carefully. My mother grew up under the queen mother's lap since she was a child."

One sentence from Lu Ning almost choked Lu Shengyuan to death, her face flushed, she wished she could step forward and strangle this evil person to death, so she actually gave him a big hat.

"evil creature!"

"I'm a sinner, so what is my father?" Lu Ningyou retorted without fear of death, mercilessly, and her tone was full of sarcasm.

The father and daughter sang together, and Meng laughed heartily at the side, and the harder the fight, the better.

Lu Ying was dumbfounded. It was the first time she saw Lu Ning's majesty. She was really fearless, a complete idiot.

"You!" Lu Shengyuan was angry and angry, and raised his palms high. Lu Ning looked at Lu Shengyuan coldly, and Lu Shengyuan was a little timid and dull.

At this moment, a servant came running very quickly.

"Princess, the imperial edict is coming from the palace."

Princess Qin hurriedly stood up when she heard the words, and squinted at Lu Shengyuan, "Go and receive the order first."

Lu Shengyuan flicked his sleeves angrily, glared at Lu Ning viciously, and then went out with Princess Qin.

When Lu Yinglin passed by Lu Ning's side, the corners of her mouth curled up, "My sister is really courageous. If this reputation of unfilial piety spreads, she will have to marry in the future."

Lu Ning pursed her lips tightly, "Isn't it just as you wished, no one will compete with you for the position of Princess Concubine?"

Mentioning the position of the concubine was like stabbing a knife in Lu Ying's heart, and suddenly her face changed, that Yizhi, could it be "

Lu Ying didn't have time to argue with Lu Ning, so she quickly followed.

Lu Ning took a deep breath. It was a coincidence that Yizhi came to the palace less than an hour after she came back!

"Miss?" Fudong was somewhat worried.

"Let's go, whether it's a blessing or a curse, we can't avoid it."

Soon there was a kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, and the leader was the eunuch next to the Empress Dowager Lu, Eunuch Wen.

Eunuch Wen glanced at the number of people, cleared his throat, and slowly opened the bright yellow edict embroidered with dragons and phoenixes singing together.

"By God's fortune, I look up to the Empress Dowager Zhao. Today I heard that Lu Ying, the third daughter of the Lu family, is a descendant of a famous family. She has a very good family education, is well-educated, virtuous and submissive, and she is a good match with the son of Prince Chen. Therefore, she is married on the tenth day of the third month."

Princess Qin thought she heard it wrong, "Elder-in-law, is it really Lu Ying in Yizhi?"

Lu Ying clenched her fists tightly, her heart was about to jump out, her throat tightened and she thought she had heard wrong, she kept staring at Eunuch Wen with anticipation.

Lu Shengyuan's face was a bit depressed, and he glared at Lu Ning angrily. The position of concubine in this world should belong to the big family, and it's all Lu Ning's failure to live up to expectations.

Eunuch Wen frowned, "Can this old servant recognize the wrong words?"

Princess Qin smiled awkwardly and was about to speak when Eunuch Wen suddenly said again.

"It's not finished yet, don't worry."

Lu Ning frowned when she heard this, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"I also give Lu Ning, the seventh daughter of the Lu family, as a noble concubine to marry into Prince Chen's mansion together on the wedding day. There must be no mistake!"

Concubine Qin was stunned, she couldn't figure out what the Empress Dowager Lu meant. She had clearly said that Lu Ning should be the princess, but in the blink of an eye, she made Lu Ying the concubine and concubine Lu Ning?

Lu Ying was so excited that she almost burst out laughing, she was really the imperial concubine, and Lu Ning was just a concubine who couldn't stand on stage.

"Princess Qin, congratulations." Eunuch Wen held up the imperial edict.

Only then did Princess Qin come to her senses, she would rather be Lu Ying than Lu Ning as the first concubine of the world.

"Father-in-law, why would the queen mother choose Lu Ning as a noble concubine?" Lu Shengyuan couldn't help but ask.

Eunuch Wen squinted at Lu Ning, "Although the queen mother regrets what the princess has done, after all, she was brought up with one hand, how could she have no feelings? Miss Lu Qi is still young, and it is also true that she can have a son who can protect her and allow her to live happily ever after. The wish of the queen mother, please rest assured, the queen mother will not implicate the princess because of the princess' mistakes."

Lu Shengyuan was speechless. To put it bluntly, it was because the eldest princess Xinyang and Lu Ning's mother and daughter had more than failed and offended the Queen Mother.

"Princess Qin, accept the order."

"Chen Fu." Princess Qin was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Ning, "Wait!"

Lu Ning stood up slowly, and Eunuch Wen frowned, "Miss Lu Qi?"

"Sister Ning!" Princess Qin's face was a little embarrassed, and a warning flashed across her eyes.

Lu Ning clenched her lips, "Lu Ning doesn't recognize this will. The princess is the emperor's own princess, how can she be a concubine? Father-in-law, you should be careful. The matter of the queen mother's witchcraft has not been investigated yet. How can you be so sure that it was the mother who did it?" It's hard to guarantee that it wasn't framed, my mother was wronged and imprisoned, and my princess was forced to be a concubine, so I want to ask for an explanation!"

After the words fell, Lu Ning directly led the people away with a flick of her sleeves. The angry Princess Qin almost yelled at her, and she didn't even look at Lu Shengyuan with a good look.

"Stop her! I'm so mad!" Lu Shengyuan was furious.

Eunuch Wen has not yet come to his senses, this is the first time someone has blatantly ignored the Empress Dowager's will, it is too courageous.

"Elder-in-law, don't take offense, the little girl is naughty, and she was spoiled for a while."

Princess Qin explained.

Lu Ning walked all the way without stopping, no one could stop her, and watched her get on the horse.

Now that Empress Dowager Lu is going all out, she will play with her!

This Lu Linen rushed over immediately after receiving the news, "Ning'er?"

"Brother, you have to convince uncle that Emperor Qi Dongchu can be trusted, and you have to trust me, it will definitely be possible. It's a long story, and I'll explain it to you later."

Lu Linen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Lu Ning would believe Qi Yao in just a few days.

"Where do you want?"

Lu Ning sneered, "The Empress Dowager frequently resorts to tricks, so we can't sit still. Since we are going to make trouble, fortunately we will make it bigger. I will go to the gate of the palace to beat the drums and complain. The most important thing now is to rescue my mother, otherwise, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager to secretly cheat on her. Killer!"

Lu Ning believed that Empress Dowager Lu would definitely dare to get rid of Princess Xinyang, and only by letting Empress Dowager Lu cast a trap could she temporarily save Princess Xinyang's life.

Because Lu Ning knows better than anyone else the dangers of rumors, as long as Queen Mother Lu wants Lu Xi to take the throne, she has to consider these.

Seeing Lu Linen's hesitation, Lu Ning said solemnly, "Brother, Ning'er will protect you with his life. The Emperor of Eastern Chu has absolutely no desire to covet Dayong. You trust Ning'er once."

Lu Linen was shocked when he heard the words, "Ning'er!"

Lu Ning looked determined, and Lu Linen gritted his teeth and thought for a while, since he is dead anyway, he might as well fight hard once.

"Okay! I'm entering the palace right now, so be careful."

Lu Linen saw that there were two more maids beside Lu Ning, who looked ordinary on the surface, but in fact they were excellent martial arts masters.

It should be given by Qi Yao, Lu Linen didn't have time to think about it, and immediately led the people into the palace.

Lu Ning gritted her teeth, and rushed all the way to the outside of the palace gate, with a fierce look in her eyes, she muttered in her mouth.

"Lu Ning, don't worry, I will definitely help you rescue your mother."

The petite body picked up a tall drumstick, and beat it dully on the Mingyuan Drum, calmly and powerfully.

The sound of bang bang soon caused the people to stop and watch.

Lu Ning shouted while beating the drum, "Lu Ning begs the Queen Mother to find out the truth, and believes that Princess Yang is innocent!"

Soon it spread among the crowd that Lu Ning was forced by the Empress Dowager Lu to be a concubine, and wanted to eat the eldest princess of Xinyang. The current emperor is critically ill, and the Empress Dowager Lu insisted on adopting Lu Xi as the crown prince.

The meaning is self-evident.

"I heard that the princess rushed back overnight, and was almost chased and rescued by someone kindly. It was less than an hour after returning to Beijing, and the queen mother betrothed the princess to the eldest son as a concubine. What a coincidence."

"Is there still this?"

"That's right, isn't it useless to be a concubine for a noble princess?"

"The princess has only returned to Shengjing for a few days, and she was imprisoned for witchcraft. Isn't that too bizarre?"

"I'm also curious. If the princess practiced witchcraft in Yongzhou City, who would know, why bother to mobilize people to come to Shengjing? Isn't this clearly courting death?"

"Don't forget, the late emperor insisted on letting the emperor take the throne, but the queen mother refused to follow him but she couldn't hold back the late emperor. Now that the queen mother is in power, the emperor has been childless for so many years. He was going to take over the heir of Prince Chen. Maybe the princess did something wrong, no?"

"Hush! Keep your voice down, you dare to talk nonsense about this!"

The man rubbed his nose, disapproving, "Isn't it obvious, this princess is almost always wronged!"

As a result, everyone started to discuss and talk about everything. In just two hours, the rumors spread rapidly and out of control.

Inside the palace

When the Empress Dowager Lu heard this, she smashed a cup of tea in a fit of anger.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! There is no reason for this, this Lu Ning is too presumptuous!"

Empress Dowager Lu trembled with anger, it was the first time in so many years that she was forced to come down from the stage, and she hadn't been so angry for many years.

"King Qin's mansion is full of dead people, why don't you hurry up and stop it, a bunch of trash!"

At this end, Nanny Lu came in.

"Queen Mother, the emperor handed over the princess to the Minister of Dali Temple, and said that he would not interfere."

Empress Dowager Lu's face turned pale when she heard the words, and she snorted coldly. Who doesn't know that Dali Siqing is her confidant, isn't this equivalent to handing Princess Xinyang to Empress Dowager Lu?
On the cusp of the limelight, Emperor Yu Sheng had a good plan.

"Hmph! It's so naive. The physical evidence is solid. There's nothing wrong with it. This Lu Ning doesn't know how to flatter her, and she's so angry and mournful!"

The Empress Dowager Lu was determined to kill Lu Ning, she settled down, "Hurry up and find a way to get her away, idiot, you can't even do such a small thing well."

"Your Majesty, the Princess is surrounded by many masters, so I can't get in at all." Eunuch Wen was beaten black and blue, with a mournful face.

At this moment, King Chen suddenly came over with a gloomy and terrifying expression.

Empress Dowager Lu frowned.

"Empress, Brother Huang suddenly has a lot of elite soldiers stationed less than a hundred miles outside the city of Shengjing, and they are making frequent movements, I'm afraid it's..."

When King Chen finished speaking, he almost guessed what was going on.

"The emperor has already sent people to prepare to release the 20 troops from Eastern Chu. I estimate that they will arrive in Shengjing in three to five days."

Empress Dowager Lu gasped when she heard the words, "Shengjing also has elite soldiers from Eastern Chu? How could this happen? How many troops are there?"

King Chen clenched his fists, "We are all fooled. The emperor probably negotiated with Qi Yao early in the morning. The preliminary estimate is that there are at least 2 horses. If we deploy troops, Qi Yao will attack from behind and besiege. Isn't this asking for our own destruction? , if we don't mobilize, we won't be the emperor's opponents at all, it's really abominable!"

Empress Dowager Lu swayed when she heard the words, "It's the Ai family who underestimated the emperor, there is such a skill in keeping quiet!"

"Then what should we do now?" King Chen asked.

Empress Dowager Lu had a bit of a headache, and when she saw her father-in-law's bruised and swollen face, she became annoyed for a while.

"The current plan can only be sparse and not blocked. The emperor's borrowing of troops is also a temporary strategy, not for a long time. If the emperor strikes first, the people of Dayong will not agree."

Empress Dowager Lu said slowly, "Your Majesty's time is running out, just wait. This is your throne and no one can take it away."

King Chen probably understood what Empress Dowager Lu meant, "The empress mother means..."

Empress Dowager Lu sneered, "Give it to the Ai family to bear, arrange it, and let Dali Siqing find a way to deal with it. This time, Xinyang is lucky. The Ai family will remember this debt first. Sooner or later, the Ai family will have to claim it back in person! "

King Chen nodded.

Princess Xinyang couldn't be killed at all, so she must have forced Emperor Yusheng into a hurry. Although Emperor Yusheng had some rights, Empress Dowager Lu ignored her from beginning to end, but now that she has Qi Yao, she has to be cautious.

If you are in a hurry, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken!

"It's really cheap for Xinyang, Empress Mother, the matter of Xi'er's concubine..."

King Chen suddenly remembered this incident, the corners of Empress Dowager Lu's mouth twitched, and within a day she was forced to retreat step by step by Lu Ning.

"If you don't want to be a concubine, then concubine Ping! No matter what, try your best to get Lu Ning to marry into Prince Chen's mansion. As for the future, let's talk about it!"

Empress Dowager Lu's eyes were full of murderous intent, cold and clear, which made one's heart jump.

"Yes, my son understands."

Empress Dowager Lu understands that Lu Ning is not only the lifeblood of Princess Xinyang, but also a magic weapon to restrain Lu Linen and Emperor Yusheng. It is not only Lu Ning who will, but she will too. Empress Dowager Lu has already determined that it must be Emperor Yusheng. Lu Ning made a move, already planning to abdicate Emperor Yusheng.
