Chapter 210 Mother and Daughter Conspiracy
Li Jingshu did not sleep the whole night. It was not until the sky began to brighten that she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with her personal maid.
The Prime Minister's wife, Gu Manqing, was not a simple woman. Over the years, she had successfully prevented Li Mingfu from having even a concubine or a maid. Even Li Mingfu's only concubine, Xian Ge, was killed by her elaborate plan!
Gu Manqing's methods are so clever that people can't help but look at her sideways. She is meticulous and good at planning. She has a very high prestige both in the mansion and in the court. Li Jingshu knows Gu Manqing's strength very well, so she must ask her mother how to deal with Luo Lingyue!
The moment Li Jingshu stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, she felt an invisible pressure coming towards her. Everything here seemed so strange and familiar, but she knew that she could no longer return to the carefree days of the past.
However, Li Jingshu would not easily succumb to the arrangement of fate. There was a fire burning in her heart. If she could kill Luo Lingyue once, she could kill her a second time!
Li Jingshu threw herself into Gu Manqing's arms with tears streaming down her face, choking with sobs as she confessed, "Mother! Those two shameless women actually bewitched the prince and made him stay with them all day. I'm really scared... If they give birth to children first, I'm afraid my position in the Eastern Palace will be in jeopardy!"
Gu Manqing's face became extremely distorted due to anger. She gnashed her teeth and cursed, "If I had known this would happen, I should have ruthlessly eradicated these two bitches!"
Li Jingshu's eyes were filled with malice and hatred. She said fiercely: "The reason why they were able to become concubines must be a conspiracy carefully planned by the sinister and cunning Luo Lingyue behind the scenes!"
Gu Manqing's eyes flashed with calculation: "In another month it will be the Queen Mother's birthday, and His Majesty will definitely celebrate her birthday. We can take this opportunity to get rid of those two bitches!"
Li Jingshu said hesitantly: "Those two people have been following the prince all the time, inseparable, it is difficult for us to find an opportunity to take action. Moreover, if we deal with them, will the prince be implicated? Otherwise, let's get rid of Luo Lingyue first!"
Gu Manqing replied unhappily: "Luo Lingyue is no longer a threat to you. She is now at the peak of her career. If we act rashly to eliminate her, it may cause some trouble!"
Li Jingshu's eyes flashed with anger, and she shouted excitedly: "Mother! If we don't get rid of her now, after she and Xiao Jinghan get married, the Luo family army and the Xiao family army will definitely support the King of Qin with all their strength. Only by getting rid of Luo Lingyue first, the Xiao family army will not be able to continue to support the King of Qin. Then, we will select a suitable official's daughter from the prince's camp to marry Xiao Jinghan! In this way, the Xiao family army will be able to stand on the side of the prince in the future!"
Gu Manqing smiled disdainfully, and sneered, "Xiao's army? How could Xiao Jinghan have the ability to seize power from Xiao Jingyi? But it's strange to say, Emperor Wen treats Xiao Jinghan better than his own son. This Luo Lingyue is indeed a bit tricky!"
Li Jingshu frowned, looked at Gu Manqing with a worried look, and asked seriously, "Does mother have any foolproof plan?"
Gu Manqing smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't be anxious, this matter needs long-term consideration. Don't worry, I will definitely make the Queen Mother and His Majesty hate her at this court banquet!" There was a cunning flash in her eyes, and it seemed that she had already thought of a countermeasure.
Li Jingshu walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She walked towards the palace with light steps. Along the way, she silently thought about the relationship between herself and the prince, and her mood became heavier.
After entering the palace, Li Jingshu came to the queen's bedroom. The queen was sitting on the couch, looking out the window with a worried look. When she saw Li Jingshu, a trace of heartache and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
The Queen sighed softly and said to Li Jingshu, who lowered her head and looked docile, "Jingshu, don't worry! Your mother will definitely go to the Crown Prince to have a good talk! How could those two lowly concubines allow the Crown Prince to ignore his Crown Princess like this? How disgraceful!"
Li Jingshu lowered her head slightly and whispered softly: "Mother, please don't blame the prince. It's all because Jingshu is not good enough and can't keep the prince's heart..."
The queen was so angry that her face turned blue when she heard this. She slammed the table in anger and said, "The prince is the future king of a country. How can he be deceived by those seductive women? Madam Liu, take someone to bring those two vixens to me immediately!"
Li Jingshu pretended to be extremely anxious and knelt down to dissuade her: "Mother, please calm down! In any case, they are the prince's concubines after all. I hope you will think twice!" Her voice was full of anxiety and earnestness, for fear that the queen would do something extreme in a moment of impulse.
The queen stepped forward to help her up and said, "Jingshu! In our Li family, your aunt only recognizes you. Those two vixens who are not presentable dare to seduce the prince! I want them to know who is the mistress of the East Palace!"
Madam Liu acted very quickly and brought Li Xuemei and Li Xuelan to the Queen in a short while. The Queen was slightly stunned when she saw the two sisters. She vaguely remembered that they came to pay their respects a few days ago, but she did not pay much attention to their appearance at that time.
Now, after a closer look, I only felt that the two women were extremely beautiful, and their gentleness was dignified and generous. The two knelt on the ground respectfully and performed a standard ceremony to the queen. However, the queen did not let them stand up, but continued to play chess with Li Jingshu as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, the whole palace was filled with a strange atmosphere. Li Xuemei and Li Xuelan lowered their heads, feeling a little uneasy. They didn't know why the queen didn't let them stand up, and they didn't dare to ask rashly. They could only kneel there quietly, waiting for the queen's instructions.
The two concubines knelt on the ground very seriously. Time passed by little by little. After about an hour, the prince finally hurried to Kunning Palace. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his concubines kneeling on the ground, and saw Li Jingshu sitting there playing chess with the queen.
The prince was immediately furious, and he felt that his dignity had been seriously violated. When the queen saw him like this, she just said lightly: "Jingshu, take the two concubines back to the East Palace and teach them the etiquette of the palace!"
Although the queen's tone was calm, the majesty contained in it could not be ignored. After hearing this, Li Jingshu stood up, saluted the queen, and then left Kunning Palace with the two concubines.
The prince watched them leave, and the anger in his heart became more and more difficult to calm down. He knew that this must be Li Jingshu's trick again. She wanted to humiliate him and his concubines in this way. The prince secretly swore that he must find an opportunity to take revenge...
The prince was afraid that Li Jingshu would embarrass the two sisters in the East Palace, so he wanted to go back with her!
The Queen said coldly: "Prince, please stay! Your mother has something to tell you!"
