The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness

Lu Jianzhang frowned, threw the whip to the butler, straightened his clothes seriously, and looked at the uninvited guest with indifference.

"I wonder what brings the King of Jin'an to my humble abode?"

Prince Xiao Churan of Jin'an is the youngest son of the late emperor, the younger brother of the current emperor, and the nominal regent.

The national conditions of Qi were somewhat complicated. The previous emperor was a man of great talent and ambition, and he hoped that Qi would unify the surrounding areas and realize a prosperous era where all nations would come to pay tribute.

In order to achieve this goal, the late emperor formulated a strict plan for training successors.

On the surface, he praised the prince for being a wise ruler, but secretly he showed his expectations for each of his sons, hoping that the hard work and enterprising spirit of his other sons would stimulate the prince and make him even better.

If successful, the crown prince will be the best of the best to succeed to the throne. If unsuccessful, anyone who is promoted to the throne will not be a mediocre person.

Not putting all your eggs in one basket can prevent the possibility of two hundred years of chaos caused by the incompetent emperor during the Zhongqi period.

The late emperor had good intentions, but unfortunately he went too far.

The Crown Prince was driven crazy by his poison-raising method, and the other sons fought each other to eliminate their opponents. In the end, the current emperor Xiao Qian'an, who had a very low sense of presence, won the crown.

The late emperor, lying on the hospital bed, collapsed unexpectedly when he saw Lao Wu, who had quietly dealt with all his competitors and came to him.

The fifth brother, who had leg problems and a flawed appearance, was never considered by him.

"Father, why can they fight for it but I can't?"

Xiao Qian'an looked at the late emperor with sneer in his eyes, then turned around and teased the baby in his arms with a sinister smile.

That was the newly born child of the concubine, the late emperor's late son, and the last son besides him.

Later, the death knell rang in the palace, and it was Xiao Qi'an who came out holding the young Xiao Churan, with the edict of accession to the throne and the edict of regency in his hands.

From then on, the State of Qi began a strange chapter with a young emperor in power and a young child as regent.

Xiao Churan was raised by Xiao Qian'an himself and is about the same age as Xiao Qian'an's son.

From a family perspective, the two are nominally brothers but are actually father and son; from a national perspective, however, it is a natural antagonistic relationship between a young and powerful king and a gradually growing regent.

Xiao Qi'an was unwilling to give up power, but at the same time he allowed Xiao Churan to act like a big shot. The complicated relationship between the two made court officials stay away from Xiao Churan.

"My humble abode? Duke Lu is such a joker."

The man flicked the fan with his fingertips and looked around leisurely, his thin lips slightly curled with an inexplicable smile.

From time to time, he sighed and said:

"Your Lu family is as powerful as the sun, your wife's mother's family is as wealthy as a country, and the magnificent Zhenguo Mansion is as magnificent as the imperial palace. How can it be called a humble abode?"

Comparable to the imperial palace?

Oh, doesn't this imply that he wants to rebel?

Your Majesty is now arbitrary, sensitive and suspicious. If this news were to get into the palace, who knows what would happen.

Even if Your Majesty believes that the official is innocent, the seeds of doubt have been planted.

Fortunately, Lu Jianzhang was used to fighting this mad dog, so he immediately bowed in the direction of the palace and spoke with loyalty and courage:

"My Lu family has sacrificed their lives for the State of Qi, and died on the battlefield. Although I am not as brave as my father and brother, I am loyal to Your Majesty.

I am grateful to Your Majesty for not abandoning me and allowing me to continue to serve Your Majesty and the State of Qi! I am also grateful to Your Majesty for allowing me to inherit the glory of my ancestors. Now everything in the Lu Mansion is given by Your Majesty.

Your Majesty’s kindness is so deep in my heart that I will never forget it! That’s why I often remind my wife…”

Duke Lu spoke eloquently and with such righteousness that it brought tears to his eyes.

Xiao Churan snorted twice, seeming to feel a little regretful.

He glanced at the woman lying on the ground with bloody marks from being whipped, raised his brows slightly, and walked over.

Lu Yingxue was still suffering from a cold, her head was dizzy, and she had just had a hysterical argument with her father, so her heart was beating wildly.

Taking advantage of the pause in the family punishment, she lay on the ground gasping for breath, but unexpectedly a folding fan poked the wound on the back of her shoulder.

"hiss--"

She looked up angrily and saw a handsome face full of evil.

The man frowned and kept backing away, as if there was something extremely dirty on her body.

Lu Yingxue was so angry that she was about to explode. What a piece of crap! It was bad enough that he poked her wound with his hands, but he even dared to look down on her?

After seeing the man's face clearly, she suddenly laughed.

Oh, isn’t this the emperor Mingde’s chess piece, the biggest enemy in Qi’s history, the regent who died at the hands of bandits?

In his previous life, this guy died before Xiao Hengguang ascended the throne. He was covered in disgrace when he died, and his body parts were left exposed in the wilderness by bandits. They were not found until more than half a month later.

It's so funny. You're a cannon fodder who died early, and a chess piece whose end was even worse than mine. Who is nobler?

Xiao Churan's scalp tingled when she was stared at by Lu Yingxue. She was ready to ask him if she needed help, but the words to rebel against her unethical old father were stuck in her throat.

He just said expressionlessly:

"So you're not dead?"

Lu Yingxue turned over and lay in a more comfortable position. She raised her arms to cover her eyes and spoke casually:

"Thanks to Your Majesty, I am still alive."

Xiao Churan twitched his lips. How come Miss Lu's words were even more irritating than his?

At this time, the Sixth Prince, who had visited his sweetheart earlier, finally came over and complained to the Regent.

"Little uncle, why are you running so fast? This is your first time entering the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Do you know the way? As soon as I turned my head, you disappeared!

Father asked you to accompany me to visit my future father-in-law and mother-in-law, but it's like visiting your own father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

The man put his hands behind his back, glanced at his nephew calmly, turned and walked out.

"Yeah, isn't this the wrong way?"

Xiao Hengguang looked at him with a look of "Don't lie to me". He clearly heard from the servants of the Lu Mansion that the young uncle came straight here.

Oh, there is a secret!

Seeing his future son-in-law, Duke Lu became much more friendly and approached him, bowing respectfully:

"I greet the Sixth Prince."

"Duke Lu."

Xiao Hengguang was wearing a robe made of moonlight brocade, with hidden gold threads gleaming brightly in the morning light. He nodded politely, looking elegant and dignified.

Thinking of the presence of the moody and hated little uncle, Xiao Hengguang put on an expression of deep love and no regrets, and pleaded for Lu Yingxue sincerely.

"Duke Lu, you have punished and scolded her, and Xue'er must have realized her mistake. After all, Xue'er is a girl, and she is weak and frail, so please don't be angry with her anymore.

It's also my fault that I didn't give Xue'er enough sense of security, which led her to do such a dirty thing. If you want to punish me, punish me."

Xiao Hengguang pretended to kneel down.

How is this possible?

Lu Jianzhang took two steps at a time and came to Xiao Hengguang and held him firmly.

"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. It is the father's fault for not educating the child. Yingxue is my daughter. I have to take full responsibility..."

The father-in-law and son-in-law came and went, completely ignoring others.

Lu Yingxue felt like vomiting after hearing this. No wonder she was so angry when she heard him pleading for her in her previous life. This was basically putting the blame on her for framing Lu Ningshuang.

She was blinded by love at the time and couldn't see through all this.

My eyes drifted to the side, and I saw the big enemy scratching his ears and looking up at the sky and the ground.

Not to mention, at least he looks much more pleasing to the eye than those two.

Maybe it was because he died early and didn’t have the chance to commit such a humiliating act in front of her?
