The scumbag wiped out my entire family, I was reborn to marry the villain prince

Chapter 40 The Position of the Princess
When Lu Qingyu returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it was already completely dark.

Under the dark night sky, the city of Kyoto was quiet and peaceful.

But beneath the calm surface of the water, a turbulent undercurrent is ready to emerge.

Concubine Su committed suicide out of fear of crime, King Xuan lost his heart, Lu Qingyu and King Jing divorced, and the Duke of Zhenguo was about to return triumphantly.

Each and every incident stirred up the deep waters of Kyoto City, turning it upside down.

In particular, the divorce between Lu Qingyu and King Jing is likely to reshuffle the power structure among the princes.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

But Lu Qingyu slept soundly.

Because He Junxuan was very efficient, not long after she returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he sent someone to deliver the location and time for the meeting with Han Wenyuan tomorrow: 9:00 pm, at the foot of Shengyuan Mountain.

Shengyuan Mountain.
That was the place where she was once surrounded by wolves, and also the place where she first met He Junxuan.

This night, Lu Qingyu dreamed of the scene five years ago when she was trapped by a wolf pack.

The young man in black clothes held two swords and cut a bloody path from the periphery of the wolf pack like a god descending from heaven.

He picked up Lu Qingyu, who was exhausted from fighting, and then rushed out again, waving the sword in his left hand.

She was only 12 years old that year.

When she was most desperate, a young man in black clothes descended from the sky and saved her life.

The half-grown child naturally fell deeply in love with her savior, but this identity was replaced by He Juncheng, who dragged her step by step into the abyss of darkness.

The next morning.

The imperial edict of divorce was delivered to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Lu Qingyu looked at the bright yellow imperial edict for a long time, feeling dazed.

She was finally free from that beast, finally.
Only after completely severing her relationship with He Juncheng could Lu Qingyu launch a full revenge against him. She wanted to make this man fall into the dust forever, unable to live or die.

At this time, He Juncheng was sitting in Chunfei's Zhongcui Palace.

"Mother, the imperial decree for divorce has been issued. I must also make plans for my position as the principal wife as soon as possible." He Juncheng's eyes were solemn.

Concubine Chun's face wasn't looking good either. She had originally asked Lu Yiner to ask Lu Qingyu to clarify the rumors, but this damn girl ended up severely humiliating Lu Yiner.

Before I could settle the score with her, His Majesty's imperial decree of divorce came down.

Concubine Chun couldn't swallow this, but she had no way to deal with Lu Qingyu.

"That old fox, Marquis Yongning, has already sent someone to deliver a letter, demanding that Xu Lingxuan must become your principal wife, otherwise he will not let her marry you."

He Juncheng frowned and said, "Then why did he agree to marry Xu Lingxuan to me as a concubine? Mother, do we have to marry into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion? I really don't like that Xu Lingxuan."

He really didn't like Xu Lingxuan, or rather, he didn't like this kind of spoiled eldest lady's personality.

Lu Qingyu had been gentle and considerate to him, so He Juncheng was satisfied with this "chess piece" princess.

Lu Yiner was very obedient to him, and the most important thing was that he benefited a lot from Lu Yiner's kung fu, so he was very satisfied with Lu Yiner.

But Xu Lingxuan was different. She had been raised like a star since she was a child, so she was used to looking down on others, like a proud white swan. But He Juncheng didn't like women who looked up to others.

Concubine Chun glanced at He Juncheng coldly, with a warning in her eyes, "Cheng'er, you have now lost the support of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. The Marquis of Yongning is now a favorite of His Majesty. If you still want to compete for the throne, you must get his support."

He Juncheng frowned tightly, and his dark eyes kept turning around.

After a long while, he raised his head silently, "Mother, we have given Lu Qingyu the soul-forgetting Gu. In fact, if we want to get the support of the Zhenguo Mansion, we can use coercion..."

"Cheng'er, this is your last trump card. You must not use this trick to threaten the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion unless it is absolutely necessary." Concubine Chun interrupted He Juncheng's words neatly.

He Juncheng lowered his head again, but a gleam of ambiguous light flashed across his eyes.

At the foot of Shengyuan Mountain.

Lu Qingyu looked at the two men standing in front of him and couldn't help but blink.

Han Wenyuan and He Junxuan are both here.

Han Wenyuan was the first to break the awkward silence, clasping his hands together and saying, "Miss Lu, we meet again. On your wedding night, I admired your courage very much. I am fortunate to meet you today, and I should express my respect to you in person."

"Mr. Han, you are too polite. I just made a decision according to my heart." Lu Qingyu smiled slightly.

He Junxuan's cold gaze swept over Han Wenyuan, then turned to the smiling Lu Qingyu, his tone indifferent.

"Miss Lu, isn't it time to get down to business?"

Lu Qingyu felt a little puzzled. Why did she feel that He Junxuan was acting weird today?
"Master Han, I went to Prince Ning's mansion to visit your sister yesterday. Her mental state is very bad. It is no exaggeration to say that if no intervention is taken, she may not live for more than a year."

Han Wenyuan's eyes widened instantly, and he said in disbelief, "Second Miss Lu, how is this possible? I saw Qin'er three months ago, and there was nothing wrong with her! Is this a mistake?"

Before he came, he had never imagined that his sister's condition would be so serious.

Lu Qingyu shook his head, his tone extremely heavy.

"Your sister's condition is really not very good, and Prince Ning doesn't seem to treat her as well as the rumors say. Master Han, I came here this time in the hope that you can think of a way to give your sister a reason to return to her parents' home."

"Of course, I am helping your sister because I need her help. If your sister can go home, I will personally visit her and ask for her help. At the same time, I will do my best to get your sister to open her heart and find out the cause of her excessive worry." Lu Qingyu added.

If someone is being nice to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. But if he is asking for something from someone, then Lu Qingyu's behavior makes sense.

Han Wenyuan frowned and thought for a long time before he came up with a very "filial" idea.

"After I go back, I will let my father spread the news that grandma is seriously ill and will not live long. Before she dies, grandma wants to see Qin'er one last time."

Han Wenyuan looked at Lu Qingyu, "Second Miss Lu, I will send someone to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to ask you to treat my grandmother. This way, it will not arouse King Ning's suspicion, and it will also allow you and Qin'er to meet reasonably."

Lu Qingyu's eyes lit up, and he said sincerely, "Mr. Han is indeed one of the six great talents in the capital. This method is simply brilliant."

He Junxuan's eyes fell on Lu Qingyu's face, and he said lightly, "Second Miss Lu, I'm afraid you forgot one thing."

Lu Qingyu was stunned. "What's the matter?"

He Junxuan did not answer, but said to Han Wenyuan, “Wenyuan, I still have something to say to Miss Lu Er, you go back and prepare first.”
