Chapter 155: A Show of Power
Where are you going?
Of course, he went to rescue Ji Chenchuan.
Otherwise, would she really watch Ji Chenchuan die? Although she didn't know what happened, she had clearly warned him, but he was still dying. She thought he was joking and that it was a calculated lesson for the Lin family, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She originally wanted to leave, but when she saw Nanny Wu's smug face holding the poison, she understood something.
No matter how careful Ji Chenchuan was, he could not prevent it. In this world, there are only thieves who catch thieves, but how can we prevent thieves? Even if you guard against thieves for a thousand days, there will always be a loophole. In the end, he could not escape the disaster in his previous life.
Although Ji Chenchuan seems to be in a prosperous situation on the surface, he is actually a "weak man" who is bullied even by the maids in the mansion. This reminds her of the old servant who poisoned him in his previous life. Even the old servant was bribed by the eldest wife, not to mention the others.
Also, if she didn't help him this time, no one would help him anymore.
Lin Qingjun sighed, what an injustice.
When the carriage stopped at the Eleventh Prince's Mansion, Lu Shui became even more confused.
Didn't the Queen have a life-saving pill? Why did she come to the Eleventh Prince instead of going to the palace to see the Queen? The Eleventh Prince had plenty of pills to help him have fun, but not a single one to save his life.
Lushui frowned. Could it be that she wanted to ask the Eleventh Prince to save the Crown Prince?
But even though the Eleventh Prince is favored by the Emperor, he is not favored enough to persuade the Queen to take away the Queen's life-saving pill. Moreover, the pill is the Queen's dowry, left by the Feng family for the Queen to save her life. She only has two of them, and they are extremely precious. Therefore, the Queen will never give the Eleventh Prince the life-saving pill for the sake of the Emperor.
Even if we take a step back, the Queen's biggest "enemy" is the Eleventh Prince. She knows clearly that the Emperor's favor for the Crown Prince is based on the country of Daqi and the bloodlines of the Zongyuan and Feng families. The Emperor's favor for the Eleventh Prince is the true love between a father and a son. If the Crown Prince does not have the bloodline of the Feng family, it is not certain who will inherit the throne.
From this perspective, the Queen will not help the Eleventh Prince.
Therefore, it is probably impossible for Miss Lin Er to come to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion.
Lu Shui was just about to explain the situation and ask Miss Lin Er to give up the idea, but she saw her slender figure knocking on the Eleventh Prince's door, and the first thing she said shocked him.
She said, "Please inform us that the Marquis of Wu'an wishes to see the Imperial Concubine."
Lu Shui was stunned. What? She was not here to see the Eleventh Prince but to see Concubine Ning?
But this doesn't make sense. Shouldn't Concubine Ning be in the palace at this time?
Lushui was about to remind him again, but she saw the palace guard letting her in.
He was shocked again. Concubine Ning was in the Eleventh Prince's mansion?
How is this possible? The palace stipulates that except for those who return home to visit their families, or with the will of the emperor or the empress, the other concubines are not allowed to leave the palace. This is the rule. The palace rules are strict, even a three-year-old child knows it.
But now, Concubine Ning was actually in the Eleventh Prince's residence? The cloud of suspicion hanging over Lushui's head grew heavier.
Lin Qingjun lowered her head and was obediently led to a house. Then the palace servants who led the way left, leaving her standing there alone.
Lushui also understood that this was a show of force and a warning from Concubine Ning. After all, she was just a concubine's daughter, but she knew her whereabouts accurately. This matter was no small matter. It was no different from guessing the emperor's intentions.
Lin Qingjun knew it, and she stood there motionless without complaint. This little bit of intimidation was child's play for her. Not to mention being punished by standing, even if she was punished by kneeling on the cobblestones for two hours, she would still persist.
Moreover, since you are asking for help from others, you should have an attitude of asking for help. Don't be like Lin Zhi, who puts the cart before the horse. It is obviously a mistake, but he still acts like he is giving you a chance. It is really funny.
Zong Yuancheng nudged Lushui and said, "Is this the woman your prince likes? Well, apart from her beauty, she seems no different from other women."
This was the first time he met Lin Qingjun, but given how much he "cared" about Ji Chenchuan, he had already obtained portraits of everyone in the Lin Mansion.
When the portrait of her in plain clothes was placed in front of him, he was truly amazed. She didn't have any pretty dresses or hairpins, but she was still very beautiful. Compared to Lin Yingxue with her hair full of pearls and emeralds, this second Miss Lin, Lin Qingjun, was more pleasing to the eye.
Beauty is not created by clothes, but she is beautiful by nature and does not need any extra or excessive dressing.
For example, when the emperor was selecting concubines, he did not ask them to dress up extravagantly. Instead, they took off their gorgeous outer clothes and jewelry and only wore uniform inner clothes. They were then examined by experienced palace maids one by one before being selected.
He had seen the portrait of his mother in plain clothes back then. To be frank, compared to Lin Qingjun's plain dress, his mother only looked one-seventh as good as her.
But, his impression of Lin Qingjun was just this: she was beautiful enough.
But when I saw her today, she was actually three times more beautiful than the portrait. The real person was more vivid. Moreover, her face seemed rounder than in the portrait, her complexion was better, the firmness between her eyebrows and the coldness in her eyes were deeper.
Seeing him like this, Lushui was shocked and quickly reminded him.
"Eleventh Prince, that's the person my Crown Prince has his eyes on. You must not have any thoughts about that."
This was both a kind reminder and a warning.
He understood how "stingy" his prince was. The Eleventh Prince should feel this more deeply than others. After all, the Eleventh Prince's two trips to the capital were both "good deeds" of his prince. Of course, the Eleventh Prince deserved it. Who made him upset the prince for no reason?
Zong Yuancheng sighed. "This prince was just watching. How could I have any thoughts? Why, is she standing there and not letting anyone see her? Your prince is in charge of everything, so he can't possibly control my eyes, right?"
Lu Shui chuckled, "It's good that you know."
Zong Yuancheng pointed at Lin Qingjun, who was standing there with an upright figure, and said, "Besides, she is just so-so. Look, she can't even break my mother's show of power."
He thought that the woman Ji Chenchuan liked would do something surprising? But he didn't expect that like other young ladies, she couldn't break his mother's power. She stood when asked to. Couldn't she find a way to break this situation?
Lu Shui disagreed.
"Eleventh Prince, didn't you notice that she was the first one to come here to look for the Imperial Concubine?"
Just based on this point, we cannot say that Miss Lin Er is the same as others.
There are so many young ladies in this world, but which one has accurately found the whereabouts of Concubine Ning? Moreover, Lin Qingjun came here directly without even taking a detour, which is enough to show her intelligence.
Zong Yuancheng was stunned.
