Qu Moying stopped, then slowly turned around and looked at Yu Qingmeng behind him.
"I can't say, I dare not say. Then Miss Yu, please tell me. I wonder how much this secret can help your brother?" Qu Moying said slowly.
Yu Qingmeng understood that it was a price to pay, but she had to say at this time that a dead person did not need to know too much, and although she did not know much, there was only one secret.
"I...one time I overheard...I heard my aunt talking to someone. Someone in the palace...said...about your mother, and also asked my aunt to pay attention to some people or things." Yu Qingmeng stuttered for a while, and gradually calmed down. "I heard it when I followed my aunt into the palace."
"A palace maid came to look for my aunt, and my aunt asked me to wait outside. I... I secretly overheard a few words. It seemed that a master in the palace knew my aunt, and it seemed that they were talking about some gossip, but it was only related to your mother. She also asked about you... your father."
"She asked a lot about your father... Some of the questions were very specific, as if she was particularly concerned about your father... After the maid left, the aunt was very angry and kicked a tree nearby. She also said that she was eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and that she was using her name to take advantage of the situation. She really thought she didn't know."
Yu Qingmeng didn't understand what he said at the time. She just thought it was weird, so she asked, "Aunt, who are you talking about who cares about my uncle? Is there anyone else in the palace who has a special relationship with my uncle?"
Yu was angry and said angrily, "She really thought it was a good thing. She seemed to have been in love for so many years, but in fact, she was just trying to hook someone. She thought he really cared about her and introduced this husband to her."
"Aunt... is it Concubine Jing?" Yu Qingmeng understood. She heard this from her mother when she was gossiping to her in private. She said that the acquaintance between Yu and Qu Zhizhen was actually an accident. At that time, Yu met Qu Zhizhen when she was accompanying a distant cousin. Unexpectedly, he and Yu fell in love with each other.
The reason why Yu Qingmeng's mother mentioned this matter was that she felt that Yu and Qu Zhizhen were a perfect match made in heaven, a beautiful thing. Since Yu entered the Qu Mansion, the mansion has gained many benefits, and Yu Qingmeng's mother was quite impressed.
However, Yu Qingmeng's mother also lowered her voice and said that the person who went out with Yu at that time was the current Concubine Jing, and said that Concubine Jing was also a distant relative of their family.
Concubine Jing was not from the capital. She entered the palace through selection. Before entering the palace, she had contacts with the Yu family. The most important manifestation was that she asked Yu to accompany her on several trips. But after Concubine Zhu Jing entered the palace, the relationship between the two families was severed because they were a little distant.
At that time, the Yu family was just an ordinary family of minor officials. Concubine Zhu Jing was given the title of concubine only after she entered the palace and gave birth to the little prince. Her family background was not prominent to begin with, and no one would investigate her distant relative. No one knew about this matter. When Mrs. Yu mentioned this matter, she was actually sighing.
I feel that if Concubine Zhu Jing remembered Yu and her past interactions with the Yu family, she would have taken better care of them.
When Yu heard Yu Qingmeng's words, she was startled and quickly reached out to cover Yu Qingmeng's mouth, whispering, "Be careful with your words."
"Aunt, please let go. I know, but why can't I tell you? Mother said that the two families are still related. You and uncle are also because of...
You have found a good marriage partner." Yu Qingmeng gently pushed Yu's hand away and lowered her voice. She actually didn't think there was anything to keep secret about this matter.
Saying this will only benefit the government.
"Bah! What do you mean because of her... I..." Yu said angrily, but her voice became lower and lower. She was in the middle of talking, and because of Yu Qingmeng's words, she was annoyed and blurted out, "If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't marry your uncle, but your uncle has been thinking about her for so many years."
"Aunt!" Yu Qingmeng's face changed drastically with fright.
Yu also came to her senses and looked around. Fortunately, no one was around and the maid was standing far away from them. She breathed a sigh of relief: "That's what I said. Actually, at the beginning... your uncle and... didn't say a few words."
This statement made the same sense as no explanation, and it made Yu Qingmeng even more suspicious.
"Then why did Auntie say that?" She was not one to be fooled, so she asked.
"Anyway, that's how it is... They knew each other first, and taking me out was actually later... Don't ask anymore, you're just a kid, it's better for you to know less about this kind of thing." Yu said impatiently, her face turning cold, "Don't let any of this out, otherwise... don't blame your aunt for not reminding you, you won't even know how you died."
"Aunt...Aunt, is it so serious?" Yu Qingmeng panicked.
"This woman... is not simple." Yu sneered, "Everyone says your uncle is good to me, but in fact... hum... it's all because of her!"
There was a hint of self-mockery in these words. Yu Qingmeng had never seen her aunt so self-deprecating before. She swallowed her breath and ultimately did not dare to ask any further questions.
She didn't want to know about this kind of thing, nor did she want to know.
"You mean, your family is related to Concubine Zhu Jing, but they have not been in contact since then. However, before Concubine Zhu Jing entered the palace, they had been in contact with your aunt and uncle, and it was at that time that Yu met my father?" After listening to Yu Qingmeng's words, Qu Moying lowered his eyes slightly and came to a conclusion.
"That's what my aunt said." Yu Qingmeng said, looking up and curling the corners of her lips with great effort, "If you feel scared, then don't ask anything. You can pretend you can't hear what I say now, but you promised me that you would save my brother."
"I heard that there are some people living in your house?" Qu Moying asked again.
"I don't know much about this. I only found out about it later. It might be because I am a daughter. A woman who marries out knows too much and may cause trouble. My father didn't believe me, so it was my eldest brother who left, not me. He left me behind." Yu Qingmeng had calmed down by now.
He said slowly, "A family like ours would actually be involved in something like this. No wonder our family has ended up like this."
She was now sober, a rare moment in her life, and clearly realized that her family's misfortunes might be related to the palace.
How could the small Yu family survive after being involved in such a mess? She really didn't think that the credit of following the dragon would fall on her family, and she didn't know what her father and the others were trying to do.
Tears fell from her eyes one after another. She asked for nothing now but to die quickly.
"Please do me a favor, Princess of England. Can you give me a quick death?"
Qu Moying agreed to Yu Qingmeng's request and also promised that if she met
Her brother would save her brother's life within the feasible scope, and then leave with Yuxiu. The sound of Yu Qingmeng crying could be heard behind them.
Standing outside the door, Qu Moying exhaled quietly, her brows slightly furrowed. Concubine Zhu Jing was really someone she had never expected.
Were those things accidental? Were they Yu's imaginations or were there really other meanings? She had thought of other people before, but never of Concubine Zhu Jing, just like she had suspected other princes, even the Prince of Yan, but never the Prince of Wei. The main reason was that the Prince of Wei was not in good health, so what was the point of him fighting for her
And he has no children now.
No matter how you look at it, it's impossible that it has anything to do with Concubine Zhu Jing and Prince Wei!
But she discovered that there was also the shadow of Concubine Zhu Jing in this...
"Princess, His Royal Highness the King of England asks if you can leave?" A eunuch hurried over and asked after paying his respects.
"Let's go!" Qu Moying nodded.
The eunuch led the way in front, and Qu Moying followed behind him out of the West Prison Gate. The carriage was parked outside, and it seemed that Pei Yuanjun had already boarded the carriage.
Qu Moying came to the front of the carriage and got on. Pei Yuanjun pulled her to sit inside. The carriage turned a corner and headed towards the King of England's Palace.
"Your Highness, let Yu Qingmeng die quickly!" Qu Moying sighed and leaned on Pei Yuanjun. There was a hint of haziness in his eyes. He closed his eyes slightly and then opened them again.
"Why, do you feel pity?" Pei Yuanjun asked lazily.
"It's not pity. If I had been tricked by her, I can't say what my fate would be now. Maybe it would be worse than her." Qu Moying shook her head. Since her rebirth, her heart has become much harder. She is no longer the Ji Hanyue of the past. "I just think that since she asked for a quick death, I can still help her."
"Then die quickly!" Pei Yuanjun held her soft hands, squeezed them gently, and said.
"The Yu Mansion is actually related to Concubine Zhu Jing, you...you have to be careful." Qu Moying warned in a low voice. She couldn't think of it, but she didn't know if Pei Yuanjun had thought of it.
"I really don't know about this, but I have always been very careful with those people in the palace." Pei Yuanjun paused, not too surprised.
"King Wei?" Qu Moying asked in surprise.
"Why not?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows.
"His body... How could his body be like this? Could it be that he is not sick and is just pretending?" Qu Moying still didn't quite believe it.
Could it be that she was wrong this time
"His health is really not good. He is really sick and he is not pretending. More than one imperial physician has seen him. No matter how powerful Concubine Zhu Jing is, she can't bribe all the imperial physicians." Pei Yuanjun shook his head, his thin lips slightly curled, with a bit of laziness.
"Then... then why did she do that?" Qu Moying didn't understand.
"In this world, some people do things for fame, some do things for profit, and of course there are also other reasons." Pei Yuanjun said lightly, his eyes turned and turned dark.
What he did in the past was not for fame or profit, but only to stir up chaos and bring disaster to the world, even if he got nothing in the end.
He reached out and embraced Qu Moying. It was only because of her that he cherished his reputation and was unwilling to use the violent thoughts he once had. Now that he wanted it, he would still reach out, but it would no longer be a bloody tear...
