Chapter 264 The person who ruined you was her.
Chu Yue Li left after saying those words that day.
After all, Lu Fengjin didn't really have anything important to do, and since she didn't have anything important to do, there was no point in her staying as the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard.
Seven days later, Lu Fengjin's spirits finally improved, his injuries had mostly healed, and he was able to go out.
But he still refused to go out because his leg was injured.
Consort Rui summoned him to the palace for a gathering, but he ignored her.
Finally, it was Consort Rui who arrived.
"You sent someone to assassinate Ali?" Lu Fengjin's gaze towards Consort Rui was now extremely indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
Consort Rui's heart tightened. She glared at him and said unhappily, "Is this how you treat your mother?"
Lu Fengjin remained silent.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, with a cane beside him.
Although he has a broken leg, he is not unable to stand up, and can even walk steadily with the help of crutches.
But back then, he was so full of vigor and ambition; he was the War God of Dongling, Prince Jin!
Now, the God of War has become neither human nor ghost. He has not only injured his leg, but also all the honor, glory, and dignity he has ever had in his life!
Now even Ali doesn't want him anymore, and with his leg crippled, his father won't pass the crown prince position to him.
Lu Fengjin knew that he had no hope left in his life.
"Did you send someone to assassinate Ali?"
"Jin'er..."
"I'm asking you if it's true!" Lu Fengjin suddenly roared.
"That's her own fault! She's the one who wronged you by colluding with the people from the Mo Prince's Mansion and causing you to miss opportunities time and time again! Even the Battle of Xishan was something she deliberately plotted to ruin your reputation."
Consort Rui was more heartbroken than anyone else to see her son so badly injured.
A king can die, can be injured, but cannot be maimed! How can a king be maimed?
Her son's future was already bleak, and she herself couldn't even see a future!
"She didn't plot to harm me; she was just unwilling to be oppressed! Mother, why are you still thinking of harming her at this point..."
"Was it your mother who wanted to harm her? The one who truly hurt her is yourself!"
After suppressing her emotions for many days, Consort Rui could no longer hold back at this moment.
All her grievances suddenly surged out, and the composure she had painstakingly maintained completely crumbled.
"My mother used to be in charge of everything in this palace. That wretched Empress, after her son died, what is she? Doesn't she still have to watch my face and keep her tail between her legs?"
"But what about now? She actually dared to take my people away on trumped-up charges, and after taking them away, she wouldn't even let them come back! She even came to search my courtyard and beat and scolded my people in front of me! She did it on purpose!"
"My son was ruined, and she immediately pushed her adopted son in front of the Emperor. Now your father has the Eighth Prince in his eyes. When that prince makes a contribution, he will definitely be made a prince. At that time, the Empress will be even more unscrupulous in the harem, and she will no longer take me seriously."
In the end, all the survival rules of the imperial harem cannot escape the principle that a mother's status depends on her son.
If her son is successful, the mother can act with impunity in the harem.
Her son is useless, and now that she's in the harem, she suffers grievances everywhere.
"Even those two vile women, Consort Zhuang and Consort Rou, dare to speak arrogantly in front of me! They've never acted like this before, not even daring to raise their voices! Now, what gives them the right? It's all because my son was ruined! And who ruined you? It was Chu Yueli!"
