Chapter 264: Female Dominance: The Disabled Little Prince Was Escaped from Marriage
Lu Shi slowly walked out of the magnificent and solemn palace. The moment she stepped out of the palace door, her eyes inadvertently swept across the front and she found a familiar figure outside the palace - Princess Lu Jing was standing there quietly.
Lu Jing had a graceful figure and was wearing gorgeous clothes. The breeze gently blew her skirt.
She seemed to have been waiting for Lu Shi to appear. When she saw Lu Shi walking out of the hall, a friendly smile immediately appeared on her face, and she quickly walked towards Lu Shi.
"Hour, you..."
Lu Jing just opened his mouth to say something, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lu Shi's cold and sarcastic words.
"Her Royal Highness, are you here to see the Imperial Sister make fun of her? Because of these legs, the Imperial Sister has become the talk of the town and the laughingstock of everyone in the capital. Now that things have become like this, can the Imperial Sister truly be content?"
Hearing this, Lu Jing's smiling face instantly became stiff. She hurriedly explained: "Little girl, I didn't mean that..."
However, Lu Shi didn't give her a chance to continue speaking.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so hypocritical in front of the Imperial Sister. Now that you are firmly seated on the throne of the Crown Princess, there is no need to be on guard against a disabled person like me."
Lu Jing's eyes turned red from Lu Shi's words, but she still managed to hold herself together, "Shi Xiao, I'm not here to quarrel with you."
After a brief pause, Lu Jing took a deep breath and continued, "I heard that Divine Doctor Bai is in Jiangnan. I have sent people to look for him. His leg will be healed in a few days."
"Lu Jing, what are you pretending for!"
The corners of Lu Shi's mouth rose slightly, outlining a cold and sarcastic smile, and his eyes stared at the person in front of him like cold stars.
"If it weren't for you and Lu Shu, how could I become what I am now?"
"You are pretending to be concerned about me in front of me now, isn't it just to consolidate the image of loving and caring for your sister in the Queen Mother's heart? It's really hard for you."
Lu Shi spoke slowly and leisurely, his tone neither hurried nor slow, but every word seemed to carry a biting chill, piercing the heart and lungs.
Lu Jing's face turned pale, and he suppressed his guilt and said, "Ban Lie is in the Jiangnan area. I heard that he has built a stronghold again. I will send troops to help you avenge your death."
"Ban Lie..."
Lu Shi's face was as cold as ice. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will avenge my vengeance myself."
After saying that, Lu Shi was about to ask someone to push the wheelchair away, but was stopped by Lu Jing.
Lu Jing was unusually angry at this moment. "You want to go to Jiangnan? Why do you insist on going to Jiangnan when things are already like this?"
"This matter is dangerous. It is safest to stay in the capital."
Facing Lu Jing's questioning and obstruction, Lu Shi simply responded calmly: "The Queen Mother has already agreed."
Lu Jing fell silent instantly and clenched his hands into fists.
It took him a long time to find his voice again, and he spoke hoarsely: "I'll let the secret guards protect you."
"No need, I have my own."
Lu Shi signaled the guards to push her away.
Even after they walked away, Lu Jing did not leave. He stood there and stared in a daze in the direction where Lu Shi left.
Lu Shi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and after sighing in his heart, his eyes were still filled with coldness.
The original owner's leg was injured by a group of bandits outside the capital.
Among them, there are the shadows of the Crown Princess Lu Jing and the then Second Princess, now the Prince of Idleness Lu Shu.
The original owner was the most outstanding of the three princesses and the most beloved by the empress. At that time, people were saying that the third princess should be the crown prince.
Because he was too outstanding, the original owner was envied by Princess Lu Jing and Lu Shu.
Finally, a conspiracy against the original owner, led by Lu Shu and tacitly approved by Lu Jing, quietly took place.
Lu Shi was kidnapped by a group of bandits when he was out. They took money and wanted to keep the original owner captive for three days and three nights.
But the original owner ran away halfway, and then the misfortune began.
The bandit leader Ban Lie said, "My employer ordered her to be locked up for three days and three nights, and she escaped in less than two hours. If this gets out, where will my reputation be?"
"Break her legs for me."
Amid the bandits' ferocious expressions and wanton laughter, the original owner had his legs broken alive.
From then on, I could never stand up again.
The bandits kept their promise and released her after three days and three nights. The original owner was thrown on the roadside like a rag, and her life or death was unknown.
Lu Jing and Lu Shu in the palace were waiting for her to return, but they had not seen the original owner for a long time. They panicked and started sending people to look for her.
Finally, the original owner was seen thrown on the roadside like a beggar for people to watch.
All the valuables on the original owner's body had been looted, even the clothes he was wearing were not spared, leaving only a thin undergarment to cover his body.
When Lu Jing found her, her hair was disheveled and she was smearing mud on her face.
How could she, always so proud and arrogant, be willing to let others see her in such a state of disgrace? She certainly didn't want anyone to discover her identity as the Third Princess.
After that day, three major events happened in the palace at once.
1. The third princess was out riding when she unfortunately fell off her horse. Not only did she break her leg, but subsequent treatment was ineffective and she became disabled for life.
2. For unknown reasons, the princess offended Her Majesty the Queen, causing the Queen to personally punish her severely - not only was she beaten with a hundred sticks, but her legs were also cruelly crippled.
But the queen still showed mercy, and Lu Jing's legs were finally healed by the imperial physician after nearly a year of recovery.
3. The second princess angered the empress for some reason and was named the idle king and sent to the most miserable northwest. She was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.
When Lu Shi knew the original owner's experience, he didn't want to comment too much on the faults between Lu Jing and Lu Shu.
The empress had few children. Apart from a few princes, there were only three princesses. They were raised by the empress herself since childhood. Although they were not born to the same father, they had a very deep relationship with her.
The original owner was the youngest princess, so naturally she received more attention from the Queen and was the most beloved.
The empress always knew how to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children, and she had long ago appointed the eldest princess, Lu Jing, born to the empress, as the crown princess.
The three sisters originally had a very close relationship, but the original owner's own excellence and the Queen's preference made her go to her head. The original owner actually believed the folk rumors and thought she should be the princess.
Out of delusion in her heart, she began to provoke Lu Jing everywhere, even Lu Shu who often followed Lu Jing was not spared.
After provoking the original owner overtly and covertly for more than a dozen times, even the deepest feelings could not withstand such provocation, so Lu Shu had the idea of teaching the original owner a lesson.
They only wanted to keep the original owner locked up for three days...
In the end, no one expected this outcome.
If you think about it carefully, the three parties involved - the original owner, Lu Jing and Lu Shu, and even the almighty Queen, actually have an unshirkable responsibility.
But in the end, the only victim was the original owner.
Lu Shi had not personally experienced the suffering of the original owner, nor had he felt the heart-wrenching pain of having his legs broken alive, nor could he empathize with the shame of a noble princess being seen by everyone while wearing her underwear.
Naturally, she would not pretend to be generous and forgive everyone on behalf of the original owner.
After calming down, Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, then with a stern expression, he instructed the guards beside him: "Prepare for departure and leave for Jiangnan tomorrow."
"Yes." The guard responded respectfully.
