"Xiefeng." Ji Youran's voice was very low, completely opposite to the shrill voice just now. It seemed particularly gloomy in the night, as if it had suddenly emerged from the Netherworld.
Xie Feng was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, "My Lady Concubine... you... don't look for me... it's not me... I didn't hurt you..."
"Xiefeng, you came to see me?" Ji Youran asked gloomily. The hand holding Xiefeng's sleeve slowly moved up and grabbed Xiefeng's hand. The icy and chilly feeling made Xiefeng sit down on the ground with a thud. His whole body fell to the ground, his upper and lower teeth chattering, and he shivered.
"My lady...you...how did you...how did you say...speak?"
"Why can't I speak, Xie Feng, why did you come to find me?" Ji Youran stared at Xie Feng gloomily, then moved, finally showing a little life.
"My lady... I have brought you the hot water you need." At this time, a maid came in from the door, panting.
I was stunned for a moment when I saw the slanting wind in the room.
"Put it down, and go guard outside." Ji Youran shook his hand and said.
"Yes, I'll be guarding outside, don't worry, Madam Concubine." Although she was puzzled as to why Xie Feng came over at this time, the maid still obediently put down the kettle in her hand and retreated to the door.
The night wind is blowing, making people feel cold. Even though it is still spring, people still feel a chill in the night wind.
Xie Feng finally realized that the concubine was fine and not a resurrected person.
The breath finally subsided.
"Xiefeng, what... do you want to talk to me about?" Ji Youran asked again. The moonlight poured in from the window. Tonight the moon was as bright as water. Her disheveled and almost crazy face could be seen, but she was very sober. The crazy and shrill voice that he heard before seemed not to have come from her.
It just looks like crazy, but it's not crazy.
This realization made Xie Feng a little panicked, but fortunately she came here prepared. After calming herself down, she grabbed Ji Youran's hand and said excitedly, "My Lady, I came here secretly to see you because I was afraid that something might happen to you. My Lady, you...how did you become like this? I thought...I thought that you..."
"Do you think I'm crazy?" Ji Youran curled his lips sarcastically.
“Your servant… Your servant really thought that people outside were saying that Your Majesty… was pretending… to deliberately frame the Crown Princess… Your servant was worried… and couldn’t let it go, so I wanted to come and see Your Majesty.” Xie Feng turned around and looked outside the door, as if Liu Jingyu would appear at this time.
"I want to harm the Crown Princess?" Ji Youran's face was gloomy.
She also sent her personal maid out to inquire, but she didn't find out much. Everyone in the mansion knew that her closest maid was Shui Ning. Now Shui Ning was secretly sent out of the mansion by her to go to Ji Mansion to find out the cause and effect of the matter.
She thought about it over and over again, and felt that this matter was related to the Ji Mansion.
Who reached out to Ji Mansion and caused her to end up like this
She really didn't believe in the so-called fake pregnancy, and she still didn't believe it until now. That meant someone had done something, and the most likely culprit was Liu Jingyu. The interests of the two were directly related.
"Outside... that's what's being spread outside... I know that your Majesty didn't mean that. Someone must have framed me. Although I followed the former Crown Princess into the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, you have always been my master in my heart. I was afraid of you before, so I avoided you. Now...
Now that the Majesty has suffered such a fate, I, the servant, will certainly not have a good fate either."
Xie Feng cried.
After hearing her last sentence, Ji Youran's expression looked a little better.
She didn't believe that Xie Feng was really doing this for her, but she could believe that Xie Feng knew the meaning of "the lips and the teeth are cold". Xie Feng was the dowry of the Ling Anbo Mansion, and she would have to be tied to her. If she didn't benefit from it, she wouldn't be able to get anything good either.
"If the Crown Princess really wants to deal with me, you... will definitely not be spared, because you are the second sister's maidservant. When she sees you, she will be reminded of her, the Crown Princess. She... is just a concubine."
Ji Youran spoke slowly, his eyes glowing gloomily in the moonlight, making people feel inexplicably uneasy.
"I know... I know... that's why I came to find the queen. Now... what should we do now? What will the queen do? What should I do? Will the Crown Princess put us to death? Will she not let us live? I secretly came to see before and found that there were only a few people left in the yard. The queen... what... what should we do?"
Xie Feng looked very confused and he pulled Ji Youran and said in a sad voice.
He was so panicked that he was about to cry, and his whole body was shaking. You could tell at a glance that he was terrified.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ji Youran said in a low voice, with disdain, "As long as you are loyal to me and I am here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. One day, I will let you stand above the East Palace with me. Liu Jingyu... is nothing!"
“But… but now…” Xie Feng was still shaking.
"What are you afraid of now? What happened in the past is over. What does it matter now? I want to harm her, Liu Jingyu? Don't you even consider if I am powerful enough?" Ji Youran said sarcastically. She was angry and annoyed in her heart. If this matter was not related to Liu Jingyu, she would never believe it.
Whether before or after the incident, Liu Jingyu seemed innocent. But if she was really innocent, why was she the one who benefited the most right now? Why was she the one
I had misjudged her and thought that Liu Jingyu wouldn't be able to cause any big trouble. I didn't expect that she was so capable and could give me such a harsh blow.
"But...but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks you cheated him...now...what should we do now?" Xie Feng cried.
A frightened maid, who I used to think was my opponent. Ji Youran felt more and more disdainful in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She reached out and gently wiped her tears, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. The Crown Princess can't do anything to you."
“My queen, you can’t save yourself… now… now…” Xie Feng was very panicked and blurted out the words.
"It's okay. There will be follow-up to this matter. I have asked Shui Ning to investigate. Let me find out who did it. I will never let her off." Ji Youran reached out and touched her face. She subconsciously touched the scar on her face. Her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to remove the scar on her face.
She didn't do it before because she was pregnant and she didn't dare to do it for fear that the medicine would affect the baby in her belly.
Now that she has no child, there is no need to worry about anything. Once her face gets better and she dresses up a little, she will look a bit like Ji Hanyue.
What's the one in the palace
Besides, she still has other ways to try. She hasn't reached the end of her rope yet, so she won't give up.
She could endure it then, and she can endure it now.
She has already endured the death of a lady.
A concubine, and Ji Hanyue at that. Could it be that she could not send another princess to her death? She was just a concubine.
The prince did not even enter her bridal chamber on the day of his wedding, which shows that Liu Jingyu is nothing in the prince's heart.
"That matter... where should I go to check?" Xie Feng said tremblingly.
It can be seen that this maid is really cowardly. She dared to go against me before because she knew that I would not kill her. Now she is really scared.
Ji Youran nodded secretly. This was good. She was originally worried about not having enough manpower, but now all her manpower was in the open. If Liu Jingyu wanted to keep an eye on her manpower, it would be really inconvenient for her to move. It was good to have the slanting wind.
Everyone knew that Xiefeng and she had not gotten along before.
"Please help me check the Ling Anbo Mansion and ask why my grandmother suddenly fell ill, or why she suddenly became so seriously ill and asked me to go over. Is it really about Miss Liu and has nothing to do with the Crown Princess?" Ji Youran said.
She didn't believe that it was really a trap set by Liu Lanxin, and she was more willing to believe that it was Liu Jingyu.
But now everyone said it was because of Liu Lanxin. She had no direct relationship with Liu Lanxin. Liu Lanxin spent so much time and effort just for herself? This made Ji Youran feel impossible.
Ji Youran also knew that the Crown Prince would not believe what she said, so she had to find evidence, evidence that Liu Jingyu was secretly involved. As long as she had the evidence, she could make the Crown Prince dislike Liu Jingyu.
The position of Crown Princess is hers after all.
She reached out and touched her belly, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes. Liu Jingyu had harmed the child in her belly, and she would take revenge on him, she would definitely take revenge on him...
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will ask someone to secretly ask the Madam Dowager. But they all said that it was the young lady from the Liu family who made the Madam Dowager angry. The cause was still because of the second young lady's dowry list. What's in the dowry list?" Xie Feng nodded and asked. She had seen this dowry list more than several times before, but she really didn't find anything in it that was worthy of Miss Liu's concern.
"It's just an excuse. She must be deliberately trying to bully our Ji family to show off her reputation as Princess Jing. This person is not a good person and she won't last long. She wants to secure the position of Princess Jing, but she doesn't even consider whether she has the ability to do so." Ji Youran sneered.
No matter whether Miss Liu was involved or not, she would not let her go.
Even if this matter was designed by Liu Jingyu, Liu Lanxin cannot escape the responsibility, and she will avenge her son.
“Let grandma investigate the affairs of the Ji Mansion. Then find a way to contact the concubine of the Qu Mansion and tell her... I will help her.” Ji Youran gritted his teeth and said.
Qu Qiuyan, the concubine of Prince Jing's Mansion, was someone she looked down upon in the past, but she couldn't care less now. For the sake of her son, she would take revenge on all those involved in this matter.
"You... you want to be with Concubine Qu?" Xie Feng understood, "I... I'm afraid I won't be able to meet this Concubine Qu. She sounds like she's very favored."
"If you can't meet her now, don't worry. If you have a chance, just convey my intention. No concubine wants to become the principal wife. This is true for me and Qu Qiuyan."
Ji Youran spoke word by word. The person she had to deal with most now was Liu Jingyu. As long as Liu Jingyu intervened, there would always be some clues. She wanted to pull Liu Jingyu down from the position of the main wife. Linyuan Pavilion had already had a crown princess, so another one would not be a big deal...
