The person Qu Moying went to meet was Yu Qingmeng.
Yu Qingmeng is still in the West Prison and was originally going to be sent to the Dali Temple. Qu Moying had previously told Pei Yuanjun to let him stay for the time being.
With Yu Qingmeng's crime, he was naturally sentenced to death, and he didn't have to be beheaded after the autumn. It was impossible for a person who was caught on the charge of assassination to survive.
When the two men arrived at the West Prison, Pei Yuanjun arranged for someone to take them to see Yu Qingmeng, while he went to his previous office, which was still reserved even though new officials from the West Prison had arrived.
It was a very simple, square room. In the corner of the room, Yu Qingmeng was sitting on the floor. She leaned weakly there. After hearing the noise at the door, she opened her eyes for a long time and looked at Qu Moying who was standing there. The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and her voice was hoarse: "Qu Moying, are you... very proud?"
"I'm not proud, I just think you've trusted the wrong person." Qu Moying said coldly, looking down at Yu Qingmeng, just like the way Yu Qingmeng looked at her when she returned home.
Yu Qingmeng suddenly laughed, then covered his chest with his hands and started coughing violently.
After a long while, he stopped and said, "Don't be so complacent... one day you will end up like me."
"I'm not complacent, nor will it happen one day. I've already gone through this." Qu Moying was as calm as ever, his eyes fell on Yu Qingmeng without a ripple, "What kind of person is Xu Lipeng? You didn't see clearly at the beginning, who can you blame?"
"You mean... you saw him clearly?" Yu Qingmeng said viciously.
"Of course I saw it clearly, otherwise I wouldn't have canceled his marriage." Qu Moying sneered coldly, "You think he is a good person, but you didn't think that he was just using you. If he really had feelings for you, he wouldn't have kicked you out of the house. I didn't expect that even so, you didn't wake up!"
"I... I have lost my home, but he... at least gave me a home." Yu Qingmeng said angrily, glaring at Qu Moying, "Who are you? Why don't you want him? He is the one who doesn't want you!"
"Whether Xu Lipeng wants me or not, it's hard to say at this moment, but it seems that he doesn't want you. I really don't understand who gave him the courage to do such a thing. No matter if you were discovered at that time or not, it would be a dead end, right?" Qu Moying didn't care, and his tone was as calm as ever.
Yu Qingmeng sneaked into the Prince of England's Palace. Needless to say, the original maid must have died. The Prince of England's Palace was not a place where anyone could enter. Yu Qingmeng could come in, but that didn't mean she could leave.
"If they don't find it this time, what about the next time? It will be discovered one day. Not to mention the Prince of Ying's Palace, even your former Yu Mansion will eventually be discovered!"
In other words, when it came to sending Yu Qingmeng to the King of England's palace, Yu Qingmeng was just a chess piece, and a chess piece that would eventually be destroyed.
She hasn't moved yet, so she won't be discovered. If she makes the slightest movement, she will eventually be exposed. This final outcome is almost certain.
The only difference between falling into Pei Yuanjun's hands and falling into Qu Moying's hands is that Pei Yuanjun did not know Yu Qingmeng, so Xu Lipeng might be able to escape.
"You're talking nonsense... He will come to save me, he will definitely come to save me." Yu Qing
Meng shook her head vigorously and continued to glare at Qu Moying fiercely, "You are just jealous. You are jealous that I have his love and that I am the apple of his eye."
"You are the one he loves the most?" Qu Moying smiled. His eyes were gentle and he didn't seem to be refuting Yu Qingmeng, but he could see a hint of sarcasm in them. It wasn't strong, but it made Yu Qingmeng feel even more ashamed. Her face flushed. The contempt in the sarcasm was too obvious.
Not caring about Xu Lipeng or even Yu Qingmeng at all is more shameful than refutating them forcefully.
If Qu Moying really cared about Xu Lipeng, she would not have canceled the marriage, and she would not have had anything to do with it. Yu Qingmeng once again realized that Qu Moying did not want to fight for this marriage, she did not want it, so she canceled it, but she thought it was the best one, but she could not get it.
"You actually know very well what kind of person Xu Lipeng is, but you just don't want to recognize him clearly. Everything is just wishful thinking, and now there is only one way left, which is death. I just want to ask you if you think it's worth it?" Qu Moying continued, as if he didn't see Yu Qingmeng's flushed face.
"You... what do you mean? Are you here just to see what happens to me? What does it matter if it's worth it or not? Are you really going to let me go?"
Yu Qingmeng asked through gritting her teeth.
"Let you go? Even if I let you go, can you survive?" Qu Moying asked indifferently.
"I... I can't live? Why?" Yu Qingmeng asked harshly, and suddenly her eyes were full of desire. She tried to look at Qu Moying, "Why can't I live? As long as you let me go, I will leave from now on, and I will also tell you a secret, a secret about my aunt."
Of course she wants to live. If she can, why can't she live
She had survived with great difficulty. If possible, she would leave the capital, leave everything here, and start her life anew.
This time, she didn't want Xu Lipeng or anyone else in the capital.
"Are you still delusional?" Qu Moying said with a smile. He was not disturbed by the secret she told and was as calm as ever.
"You don't want me to live?" The light in Yu Qingmeng's eyes faded, and her body softened. "What's the point of you saying this? You sound like you can really let me go. What's the point of you being the Princess of England? You're just a disaster ward off evil."
What she said was that Qu Moying relied on Pei Yuanjun, the King of England. Since the King of England had intervened, what use was there for Qu Moying, the Queen of England? She was just married by the King of England as a target, and she really took herself seriously.
The sarcasm in the words was obvious.
Qu Moying smiled slightly: "You only said that you offended the Yingwang Mansion, but you never thought about who is behind Xu Lipeng. You don't really think that Xu Lipeng dares to do such a thing, and dares to put the entire Yongning Marquis Mansion behind this matter, and only push out the previous backyard disputes?"
"Believe it or not, as long as you leave the gate of the West Prison, you will be dead on the road before reaching the city gate. You are involved in too many things. You can't handle it, and Xu Lipeng can't handle it either."
"You...what you said, I don't understand..." Yu Qingmeng's voice trembled and he clenched his hands tightly.
"You really don't understand what I'm saying. Have there been other people in your house in the past
You will understand it, right?" Qu Moying said.
Yu Qingmeng clenched her hands tightly, her palms wet with sweat. She could hardly believe what she heard. Her eyes were wide open, but she couldn't utter a word.
"Do you really think that your father's affairs have nothing to do with these things? Someone did it, and when it was exposed, there is always someone pushed out to take the blame, such as your father, and like you now, you are just covering up the truth." Qu Moying continued, these things were investigated by Yu Dong.
In fact, the investigation was not very clear, there were only some clues, but from these clues, we could also know that the situation in Yu Mansion at that time was a little unusual.
In connection with the Yu family and then with the Yu Mansion, Qu Moying was just guessing about some things and didn't know who it was. Now he could be considered to be deceiving Yu Qingmeng.
"No one else, no... no... you are wrong, there is no one else in our house." Yu Qingmeng's eyes were bulging, his hands and feet were almost shrunken into a ball, and he shrank into a corner, one hand still shaking, "No, that's not right."
"Yu Qingmeng, was your brother okay at that time?" Qu Moying asked again when he saw her like this.
"I... my brother..." Yu Qingmeng was stunned and his eyes moved slowly.
"Although I cannot save you, I can promise you that if I see your brother, I can lend a hand, on the premise that your brother will not be involved in this kind of thing again. The fight for the throne has never been something that people like us can interfere in." Qu Moying spoke the last few words very slowly and softly, but it was loud enough for Yu Qingmeng to hear clearly.
"The battle for the throne?" Yu Qingmeng whispered subconsciously.
"You don't really think that you entered the King of England's Palace just for me?" Qu Moying's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her eyes were gloomy.
"No... not you?" Yu Qingmeng was now almost repeating Qu Moying's words.
"You really don't want your brother's life?" Qu Moying saw that she was slow to react and took a step back. "If you really don't care about your brother's life or death and think that you are going to die anyway, then forget it. Just pretend that I haven't come today. I don't care about seeing you end up like this. You and I are no longer the same as we were before."
As he spoke, Qu Moying took another step back.
"Master, it's really nothing. It's useless for you to come over. She is just stubborn and it's useless to persuade her. Her elder brother is pitiful. He still wants to save her, but she is only thinking about that man. Her elder brother's life is not his life, so he doesn't care."
Yuxiu also advised, glancing at Yu Qingmeng with disapproval.
"Where... where is my elder brother?" Yu Qingmeng wanted to stand up anxiously, but he was covered in blood and the shackles on his body were dragging heavily, so he was unable to stand up.
"Where your elder brother is, do you care? Isn't Xu Lipeng the only one you care about? Forget it, I'd better not say anything more, lest you think I want to know your secrets. Yu knows all your secrets, right? If she could tell, she would have told them long ago."
Qu Moying said lightly, glanced at Yu Qingmeng, then turned around and seemed ready to leave.
"That can't be said... Auntie would never dare to say it... I... I'll tell you." Yu Qingmeng's voice came weakly from behind, with a bit of hoarseness and impulse.
