The main room in the courtyard was lit, and a figure was reflected by candlelight on the mutilated window lattice.

The Xiang steward carried a lantern in front of him and led Lu to the porch of the main room.

"Lord Qiqi, the princess is here."

"Let her in." This slightly hoarse voice sounded so familiar to the Lu family, if it wasn't Murong Jingzhong, the king of Bac Ninh, who could it be!

"Princess, please!" Steward Xiang pushed open the door, sideways the door, and made a gesture of invitation.

Lu lifted the skirt and crossed the threshold. The house was clearly tidyed, dilapidated, and undusty.

Murong Jingzhong, the king of Beining, sat upright at the table, and after a few days of not seeing him, the white hair on his sideburns seemed to be a little more, and his face was a little haggard, but he still couldn't hide his majestic momentum.

Lu Shi pressed the panic in his heart, and Ying Ying bowed: "The concubine asks the prince to say goodbye, I don't know what happened when the prince summoned the concubine late at night?" ”

The person in front of him was dressed in a gorgeous dress, full of precious ornaments, and between the lines and the worship, the rings were jingling.

With makeup on his face, his willow eyebrows are delicate, his lips are scarlet, and he is full of grace with a smile and a smile.

Murong Jingzhong looked at her for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Lu Clan, don't you have anything to say to this king?" ”

Lu pursed his lips and said coquettishly: "The concubine has not seen the prince for a few days, and I miss it very much in my heart. ”

"Hmph, so far, do you want to continue to deceive this king?"

"The concubine married into the palace of Bac Ninh, served the prince wholeheartedly, and never deceived the prince. The concubine's heart for the prince can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the prince is also asked not to listen to the words of traitors. ”

"A good one is not half deceitful, a good sun and moon can be learned! This king has come to ask you, where has the old slave Gong clan beside you gone? ”

"I don't know about the concubine. The concubine has not been out of the room for the past few days, and the guard at the door said that it was an order from the prince, and the concubine also wondered why the prince did not let the concubine go out, and changed the slaves and maids around the concubine. ”

"This king will ask you again, who is Shao Niang?"

"The concubine doesn't know any Shao Niang, and I haven't even heard of this name."

"This king sees that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, the opportunity has been given to you, since you don't say it, then take a good look at it yourself." Murong Jingzhong sneered twice and threw a thick dossier at the feet of the Lu clan.

Lu opened the dossier and looked at it page by page, his face turned from white to blue, and his face gradually lost color.

She thought that it was just that the matter that harmed Mo Li was exposed, and she had already thought about putting all the blame on Mama Gong. Who knew that there was even the death of the Jiang family more than ten years ago in the dossier, and even worse, there was a recipe for Qilin sending child soup.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, these are not true, someone is trying to frame the concubine!"

"Framed?" The corners of Murong Jingzhong's lips hooked up with a touch of ridicule, "Who framed it?" And why did they frame you? ”

"This ...... This...... The concubine doesn't know. Please give the concubine some time, and the concubine will definitely find out about this matter and give the prince an explanation. ”

"Hahaha......" Murong Jingzhong laughed instead of being angry, "Lu, are you a three-year-old child when you are the king?" Let you go to check, wouldn't it be a chance to let the tiger return to the mountain and give you a chance to escape? ”

"The prince is good, the concubine has never done these things. Princess Jiang was really seriously ill and died, and it had nothing to do with the concubine. Besides, the princess, the concubine has no grudge against her, why harm her? These are all traps set by traitors, please make the prince the master of the concubine! Lu Shi knelt down and climbed a few steps, grabbed Murong Jingzhong's sleeve, and cried bitterly.

Murong Jingzhong shook it hard, threw the Lu family aside, and said coldly: "This king sees that you are the traitor, who designed to kill the princess of this king, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest." Let the Liu family take medicine and give birth to children like you, and poison the flesh and bones in the belly of the princess. In the next step, should you put the king to death, and then let your son take the throne of the king of Bac Ninh, and hold the entire Bac Ninh royal palace in your hands? ”

"Lord Mingjian, the concubine has never thought of it like this."

"Didn't think so? But you did. ”

"There is no concubine, and the concubine is wronged!"

"Okay, this king will convince you today! Ah Xiang, bring people up! ”

Murong Jingzhong gave an order, and Mama Gong, Shao Niang, Aunt Zhao, the shopkeeper Ma, and several henchmen and personal maid An Qin under the Lu family were brought in.

Every time someone came in, Lu's heart sank a little, one went out, and another came in, and so on, and what she had done in the more than 20 years since she married into the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion was clearly explained.

In the end, Lu was already numb, she couldn't hear what they were saying, she just sat on the ground in a daze.

Just waiting for the last person to be taken out, Murong Jingzhong stared at her and asked, "The matter has come to this, what else can you say?" ”

Lu came back to his senses, his eyes drooped and he muttered: "I remember that in the spring of the fourteenth year, I went to Puning Temple with my mother to offer incense, and it happened that the prince and the old princess were also there. That was the first time I saw the prince, just that glance, that man named Murong Jingzhong has lived in my heart since then. ”

"It didn't take long for the Holy Lord to grant marriage and promise the Jiang family to the prince. Lord, do you know? How sad I was at that time, but I didn't dare to tell anyone, so I could only cry secretly at night by myself. ”

"After the marriage, there were many people who came to propose marriage, but I couldn't look down on any of them, because I couldn't fit anyone else in my heart. Just wait, wait, wait, and finally wait until the old princess wants to give you a side concubine. When I heard the news, I felt like I had hope again. My father and sister disagreed, saying that I didn't do it with my wife, and it was too stupid to make a side room for others. But I'm so stupid, I think it doesn't matter what I do as long as I can be by your side. I tried my best to get close to the old princess, and finally won the favor of her old man, and became your side concubine as I wished. ”

The corners of Lu's lips pulled out a shy smile like a girl, but the smile was short-lived.

She continued: "But on the wedding night I was looking forward to, you still went to the Jiang family, and you didn't even give me a cave room. I'm sad and sad for your ignorance. However, I told myself that it doesn't matter, since I have married into the Bac Ninh Palace, sooner or later you will see my goodness. ”

"I'll never forget that rainy night, when I finally became your woman. Even though you weren't gentle at all, and it hurt me so much that I almost fainted, I was so happy. You know? As you gasp and fall on top of me, I hold you tightly, and it feels like you're in heaven. ”

Murong Jingzhong frowned tightly, he didn't remember when he had the first time with her, and he had long forgotten what it was like at that time. He thought it should be more guilty than happy, because it was the first time he slept with another woman, and he must have felt sorry for the Jiang family in his heart.

He had also thought about growing old with the Jiang family, but he couldn't let the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion lose its heirs. So after resisting, he chose to compromise.
