Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

It was just dawn, before the sun rose, when a series of knocks on the door broke the tranquility of the early morning and woke up everyone in the Lu mansion who were sleeping.

"Master, Auntie, something bad has happened. Someone from the Ministry of Justice has arrived." The person sent by the doorman came running over to report in a panic.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Zhi and Xie Qingrou were shocked, with looks of horror on their faces.

"Master, is it someone from the Ministry of Justice who is here to report the death?" Xie Qingrou asked nervously, tears in her eyes.

"Master, what should we do with Qingqing in the future? Will she never be able to appear in front of everyone again?" Xie Qingrou asked crying, her voice full of despair.

"If you show up now, wouldn't that be a crime of deceiving the emperor? How could you be so stupid!" Lu Zhi roared angrily. He was disappointed with Xie Qingrou's ignorance.

"But, Master, if we don't hold a funeral, will others become suspicious?" Xie Qingrou said cautiously.

"Do it! And we must act very sad and let everyone know that we have lost our daughter." Lu Zhi said.

So they went out and saw the Minister of Justice coming. Lord Lu hurried to greet him and said, "Sir, I am late."

"Minister Lu, please accept my condolences!" said the Minister of Justice with a sigh.

"Sir, there is no funeral in the Lu family?" Sir Lu asked in confusion.

"Minister Lu, your daughter Lu Qingqing committed suicide in prison." The Minister of Justice said with regret.

"No, it's impossible. How could Qingqing do such a stupid thing?" After hearing the news, Xie Qingrou broke down and burst into tears, muttering to herself while crying.

"Aunt Rou, please accept my condolences. An imperial decree will be delivered later. I have something else to do, so I will leave first." The Minister of Justice felt very sorry when he saw this scene, but he was powerless and could only turn around and leave.

"Your humble servant is here to see you off, sir." Lord Lu quickly chased after him and escorted the Minister of Justice out.

As the news of Lu Qingqing's suicide spread throughout the Lu Mansion, the entire Lu Mansion fell into grief, with cries of grief coming one after another, which made people feel pity.

At this moment, a servant came running over, "Master, the imperial edict has arrived!"

Lu Zhi hurriedly knelt down with his family to receive the order.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that, considering that Lu Qingqing is dead, all of her past is written off, and the Lu family is not allowed to hold a funeral for this girl. I decree this!"

After hearing this, Lu Zhi was shocked. What on earth was going on?

After receiving the imperial edict, Lu Zhi was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He didn't understand why the emperor would issue such an order and not allow them to hold a funeral for Lu Qingqing.

"What should I do?" Xie Qingrou asked while sobbing.

Lu Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, let's follow the emperor's order."

"Master, Qingqing is gone, our daughter is gone." Xie Qingrou cried in front of everyone.

Xie Qingrou's acting skills were indeed superb, making many people believe that she had lost her beloved daughter.

"Aunt Rou, I wonder if you can be promoted to the principal lady as you wish this time." The person who spoke was Lu Zhi's other concubine, Guo, who had no children.

"You!" Xie Qingrou's eyes were wide open as she stared at Guo, anger rising in her heart.

Xie Qingrou found it hard to swallow this breath. Her body went limp, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

"Aunt Rou, Aunt Rou has fainted, go find a doctor quickly!" Shi Liu, who was standing by, was extremely anxious and shouted quickly.

"Auntie Guo, just wait for me. I will definitely tell the master about this." Shi Liu glared at Guo fiercely with a firm tone.

"Hmph, he just fainted, not dead?" Guo disagreed and looked disdainful.
