Queen Qin also said: "Chong'er, your suggestion is indeed not good. Ze'er and Yuning's wedding is coming soon, and the Lu family has already regretted the marriage once. If they regret it a second time...

Let alone the Lu family, even if your father and I were gone a hundred years later, we would be too embarrassed to see Qi Yang. This is inappropriate, inappropriate."

Qin Yuli shed tears beside her and said, "Grandma, who can I marry with my frail body now? Every family prioritizes having children. I may not be able to have children anymore, so it's better for me to die..."

However, if I die, Lu Baozhu won't have an easy life either. I will turn into a fierce ghost and send her down to hell to accompany me, accompany me!"

When Queen Qin heard this, she hugged Qin Yuli and said, "Be good, don't worry."

Zhao Chong said, "If Ze'er breaks off the engagement again, it would be truly unfair to Princess Qi. Therefore, I am willing to marry Princess Yuning as my concubine after the princess and Ze'er cancel their engagement..."

Princess Pingrou exclaimed in shock, "Don't even think about it! You've gone to such lengths to harm yourself, and yet this is what you've achieved! The marriage between Ze'er and Yuning was granted by our father, the Emperor. No one can disobey his order!"

Qin Yuli bit her handkerchief, her face filled with grief. She stood up and said, "Cousin, your daughter hurt me so much, and you still say I hurt myself? I would rather die than leave my name unturned!"

As she spoke, Qin Yuli was about to crash into the pillar in the Queen's Palace...

But as soon as she got to the ground, she fell to the ground due to the pain in her injury, and the wound on her lower abdomen began to bleed bright red.

Qin Yuli cried out in agony, "Mother, please take me away! I have been humiliated like this in this world!"

Uncle Qin went over to support Qin Yuli, knelt in front of Queen Qin and kowtowed repeatedly, saying: "Sister, Yuli is so pitiful and still being humiliated by Pingrou. You must do something for Yuli!"

Seeing the grandfather and grandson below, Queen Qin sighed and said, "Baozhu killed someone in public. Her behavior is terrible. She deserves ten years in prison!"

Princess Pingrou and Prince Consort Lu knelt down and said, "Mother."

"The Queen."

Princess Pingrou cried, "Mother, the pearl is the apple of my eye! Ten years, ten years in prison, and my pearl... is ruined!"

How could Princess Pingrou bear to live without seeing the sun for ten years?

Duke Lu also kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Please, Queen, spare Baozhu!"

Uncle Qin said from the side: "Your Baozhu is a precious pearl, but my Yu Li is not the Qin family's pearl? She has already taken a step back. As long as Lu Ze is willing to marry her, she can let Lu Baozhu go. It's you who won't agree!"

Queen Qin sighed and said, "As for Chong'er's proposal, it's not impossible. His Majesty can grant the marriage. As long as Ze'er and Yuning are willing to cancel the engagement and make the two a good match, it's fine to withdraw the imperial decree. But isn't the Crown Prince's concubine treating Yuning too badly?"

Zhao Chong said, "But mother, if we want to save Baozhu from the suffering of imprisonment, this is the only way."

Queen Qin looked at Zhao Chong and said, "In the future, you must treat Yuning well. After your father passes away, you must make Yuning the master of the six palaces!"

Zhao Chong responded, "Yes, mother."

Princess Pingrou clasped her hands and said, "Mother, I have to go back and discuss this with Ze'er."

Queen Qin looked at the completely dark sky outside and said, "Well, it's getting dark. You should all go back. Yu Li, take good care of yourself."

Qin Yuli was supported by the maid and said, "Thank you, great aunt."

…

In prison.

Seeing Lu Baozhu eat a whole boiled chicken without any ladylike manners and even burped, Qi Yuning couldn't help but chuckle: "You have a good appetite."

Lu Baozhu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I need to eat my fill before I go out and settle accounts with Qin Yuli!"

Lu Ze said to Lu Baozhu, "Stay here and I'll come see you tomorrow."

Lu Baozhu said, "I see. Bring Xiao Lingling here tomorrow. Is she feeling better now?"

Qi Yuning said, "Since you already know that she is sick, you should wait until you are released from prison before coming to the palace to see Lingling."

When Qi Yuning and Lu Ze left the palace, it was already dark. Lichun was holding a lantern in front of them, so Qi Yuning and Lu Ze walked back to the palace.

Qi Yuning looked at the crescent moon in the sky and said, "Alas, Lingling has been gone for three days. I don't know where she went."

Lu Ze said, "It's time to leave Longzhou."

Qi Yuning looked towards the northwest and sighed softly, "Alas. That Taoist priest in North City said you were going to be imprisoned. I didn't expect it was Lu Baozhu who saved you."

Lu Ze said, "I have a feeling that Qin Yuli and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are not trying to deal with Baozhu. If they were, Qin Yuli wouldn't have to hurt herself like this. She looks pretty badly injured..."

Lu Ze has been examining injuries for many years and can tell that Qin Yuli's wounds were severe. It is difficult for a person to hurt themselves to this extent.

Qi Yuning said, "Yesterday, I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Qi family mausoleum. He talked to me."

Lu Ze lowered his eyes to look at Qi Yuning and asked, "What?"

Qi Yuning said calmly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he wanted me to be his concubine. He also said that if your Lu family encountered difficulties because of me, you would definitely choose the Lu family and give up me."

Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's wrist tightly and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense."

Qi Yuning smiled lightly and said, "So, what if the Lu family really encountered difficulties because of me?"

Lu Ze said, "Then I will only solve the problem instead of giving up on you."

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "We've arrived at the Princess's Mansion. You go in first."

Lu Ze said, "I'll take you back to the palace and pick up the clothes I left there."

"Zer!"

When Lu Ze was about to go to the palace with Qi Yuning, he heard Princess Pingrou's hoarse voice calling him at the door.
