The imperial concubine was a little surprised when she heard Lu Wanning's words, but the look in her eyes that stared at Lu Wanning did not change at all.

"How can it be the same?" the imperial concubine said.

"What's the difference?" Lu Wanning said calmly: "Does it mean that only your father and brother's life is life, and my father and brother's life is not life?"

The imperial concubine was speechless for a moment, but she quickly retorted: "If it were just these, that would be fine, but...but because you are a concubine, the palace has even handed over military power." Is the Zhongyong Hou Mansion still the Zhongyong Hou Mansion without military power?

?

"Ha ha……"

Lu Wanning couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard the imperial concubine's words, and she actually laughed.

The imperial concubine said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at you for not even understanding the situation. You're stupid and don't know it." Lu Wanning ignored the look in the imperial concubine's eyes that wanted to kill someone and said to herself: "The reason why uncle handed over the military power is terrible.

It’s all your and your mother’s fault, it has nothing to do with me at all.”

"If you hadn't insisted on letting me enter the palace in the first place, if you and your mother hadn't used the eunuchs from Jianzhang Palace to frame me and my cousin, why would my uncle have done this?"

"You're talking nonsense!" The imperial concubine didn't believe what Lu Wanning said at all.

Lu Wanning smiled indifferently, "Whether you want to believe it or not, this is a fact."

After finishing speaking, Lu Wanning paused and said, "Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. The reason why I haven't been pregnant is because I don't want to be pregnant."

Seeing the imperial concubine's eyes widening in disbelief, Lu Wanning continued: "Not only that, I also want to tell you that the emperor did not want our girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion to give birth to a prince."

After Lu Wanning finished speaking, she admired the concubine's pale complexion for a while, and asked with a smile: "Sister, do you regret that you forced me to enter the palace now? Didn't you think at that time that things would end up like this?

?”

The imperial concubine stared at Lu Wanning with her eyes, and wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only make a heavy breathing sound when she opened her mouth.

Lu Wan'an watched quietly for a while, then said to Hong Jian, who was almost dumbfounded, "Aren't you going to find an imperial doctor for your concubine?"

Only then did Hong Jian react. She subconsciously raised her feet to find the imperial doctor. But as soon as she raised her feet, she hesitated again when she saw Lu Wanning still in the room.

Lu Wanning knew why Hong Jian was hesitating, so she simply turned around and walked out first. Hong Jian then left the house with her and told the palace attendants outside: "Hurry up and find the imperial doctor."

After Hong Jian ordered not to worry about the imperial concubine, he turned around and returned to the imperial concubine's bedroom.

Qingzhi looked at the busy palace servants around her and asked Lu Wanning: "Master, shall we go back?"

Lu Wanning shook his head, "Let's just wait here."

Lu Wanning said and sat down on a chair nearby.

The imperial doctor came not too slowly, but when the imperial doctor arrived, the imperial concubine's condition was already very bad.

Seeing the imperial concubine's condition, the imperial doctor shook his head.

Seeing this, Hong Jian's face suddenly showed a bit of anxiety, "What do you mean by shaking your head? Please help our queen take a look. Don't you see her feeling so uncomfortable?"

The imperial doctor looked at Hong Jian and sighed: "Miss Hong Jian, my medical skills are not good, and there is really nothing I can do to save my life."

"You just said that without even looking..."

Hong Jian's angry words were interrupted by Lu Wanning who opened the curtain and came in, "First send someone to invite the emperor to come over."

Hong Jian glanced at Lu Wanning and wanted to say something. She opened her mouth, but she closed it feebly and said to another palace attendant: "Follow the instructions of Concubine Zhuang and invite the emperor to come over."

The palace man responded and trotted to Jianzhang Palace.

Luo Chengjing was dealing with the memorial. When Lian Yongwang said that it was a palace official from Zhaoyang Palace who was asking to see him, he said without raising his head: "Let me in."

After the palace attendant finished the ceremony, Luo Chengjing looked at the memorial in his hand and asked casually: "What's the matter?"

"Back to the emperor, our imperial concubine is not well. Concubine Zhuang has asked the servant to invite the emperor to come over."

After the palace man finished speaking, Luo Chengjing looked up from the memorial.

He glanced at the palace man, put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and walked out. Upon seeing this, the palace man hurriedly got up from the ground, and followed Lian Yongwang and others towards Zhaoyang Palace.

As soon as Luo Chengjing stepped into the door of Zhaoyang Palace, crying could be heard in Zhaoyang Palace.

Luo Chengjing paused for a moment, then lifted his feet and continued walking inside.

When they walked outside the imperial concubine's palace, the palace people and eunuchs were already kneeling on the ground outside the palace.

In the palace, Lu Wanning saw Luo Chengjing coming up to him with a look of tears on his face, "I have met the emperor."

Luo Chengjing helped Lu Wanning up and asked, "Your concubine..."

When Lu Wanning heard this, the look of mourning on her face became even more intense, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is gone."

Luo Chengjing didn't speak. After a while, he sighed and told Lian Yongwang: "According to my decree, the imperial concubine's funeral ceremony will be arranged in the clan's mansion, and the female family members of the Zhongyong Hou family will be allowed to enter the palace to mourn."

After giving instructions to Lian Yongwang, Luo Chengjing turned around and comforted Lu Wanning a few more words, then turned and left citing government affairs as an excuse, without even going in to see the imperial concubine again.

Others in the palace were not surprised by the death of the imperial concubine. After all, the imperial concubine had been bedridden for a long time, and the imperial concubine had already looked like she would die at any moment without being able to breathe.

So when they heard the news that the imperial concubine was dead, no one had any doubts.

Everyone focused more on the fact that the emperor allowed the female family members of the Zhongyong Hou family to enter the palace to mourn.

In the Yong Dynasty, only when the queen mother or empress passed away, the female family members were allowed to enter the palace to mourn. I have never heard of anyone allowing the female family members to enter the palace to mourn after the death of a concubine.

The concubines in the harem had different ideas about this, but the ministers in the court all saw the emperor's meaning from the emperor's decree.

Although the Zhongyong Hou Mansion handed over military power, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion still has a holy family.

This also made some people who had previously suspected that Marquis Zhongyong suddenly surrendered military power have some hidden secrets, some believed that Marquis Zhongyong surrendered military power because there was no one in the Hou Mansion who could take charge of the military power, and it was not due to helplessness.

In the residence of Marquis Zhongyong, after receiving the emperor's order and learning that the imperial concubine had passed away, everyone's mood was different after the emperor ordered the female family members of the residence to enter the palace to mourn.

Mrs. Lin secretly regretted it, while Mrs. Zhang, the second wife, felt calm. Mrs. Tao felt happy and thought about whether she could see Lu Wanning if she went to the palace to mourn.

Ji, the original wife of the Crown Prince, sighed secretly.

Only the weak-tempered fourth lady shed tears after hearing the news.
