Pei Yusheng sat up inside the red gauze tent.
"Your Highness?" Liu Lanxin half opened her eyes and sat up.
"You should sleep a little longer, it's still early." Pei Yusheng got up from the bed, picked up a coat and put it on, then hurried out.
In the inner room, Liu Lanxin's face sobered up, and then became full of anger. She gritted her teeth and glared at the outside of the room: "Qu Qiuyan... you bitch."
"Miss...Princess...Princess." Her maidservant who came with her as a dowry finally came in.
"What's going on?" Liu Lanxin threw off the quilt and got up from the bed.
"It is said that Concubine Qu is ill, and the people over there are in a panic, so they sent someone to report to the prince." The maid said angrily. At this time, calling the prince away is really too much.
"What's wrong?" Liu Lanxin asked with a serious face.
"I don't know. I heard that an imperial physician was invited over. I just saw the prince running over in a hurry. It looked like something really bad had happened." The maid whispered.
She just saw King Jing walking in a hurry with an anxious look on his face. It didn't seem like nothing happened.
But even though she knew something was wrong, the maid was furious when she thought about how she had just entered Prince Jing's mansion and encountered such a thing.
"Please wash up first!" Liu Lanxin paused for a moment, then sat down in front of the dressing table. She had to go to the palace to express her gratitude soon, and if she went too late, it might be her fault.
There is still no explanation for what happened yesterday, and she is unsure. Although Prince Jing agrees, will Concubine He say anything? What about the Queen
Thinking that the people in her hands would have to be handed over to King Jing, and remembering her father's instructions at that time, Liu Lanxin's heart sank. Things happened so quickly that she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and had to offer some benefits to satisfy King Jing.
But what was the current situation? King Jing had clearly promised that she would be his wife, the one he married in a formal ceremony, and that other women were nothing but playthings.
But now this toy was about to climb over her head. Just because of this, Liu Lanxin felt a pressure in her chest and couldn't breathe at all.
The maid nodded, and another maid came in and helped Liu Lanxin wash and dress skillfully.
After a short while, she had washed and dressed. The Liu Lanxin that appeared in the dressing mirror had a bit of heroic spirit in her eyes, but also a bit of melancholy. She didn't look like a newlywed at all. She lacked the joy of a newlywed, and instead had a gloomy feeling.
Staring blankly at herself in the makeup mirror, Liu Lanxin suddenly pushed the mirror away.
Fortunately, her force was not strong enough, and the makeup mirror finally stabilized after shaking on the table.
"princess!"
“Princess…” The two maids were so frightened that their faces changed drastically and they knelt down together.
"Go and check. Is he back?" Liu Lanxin took a deep breath and said coldly. Without seeing the mirror, she couldn't see the depression in her eyes.
A maid took the order and trotted out. After a while, she came back and said while panting, "The prince has sent someone over."
"Where?" Liu Lanxin was stunned for a moment, then a hint of joy appeared on her face.
"Just wait outside. Princess, do you want to go out and meet him?" the maid suggested.
Liu Lanxin nodded and walked out holding the maid's hand.
After they sat down in the outer room, someone was called in. It was the eunuch who followed Pei Yusheng. After entering the room, he first greeted Liu
Lan Xin bowed.
"The slave has seen the queen."
"How is the prince?" Liu Lanxin picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, picked her nails, and said slowly.
"There's nothing wrong with the prince, but Concubine Qu is sick, and the imperial physician is treating her. The prince asked the princess to have breakfast first, and the prince will come over soon."
The eunuch said cleverly.
"Concubine Qu...what illness has she contracted? Is it serious? Do we need to invite a few more imperial physicians to come and take a look?" Liu Lanxin asked with a concerned look on her face and put down the teacup in her hand.
"I can't explain it clearly. The imperial physician is investigating the cause of the disease. The prince asked the princess not to worry." The eunuch smiled and declined.
"What disease is it that can't be diagnosed right now?" Liu Lanxin asked with an increasingly heavy expression.
"This... I really don't know..." the eunuch laughed dryly.
Liu Lanxin looked at the eunuch, and was in no hurry to send him back. She only watched the eunuch lower his head uneasily before she asked, "Was Concubine Qu like this before?"
"No... It has never happened before, and I don't know what happened this time." The eunuch shook his head hurriedly and explained, "It actually caused such a big commotion. The prince has always cared about everything about the concubine. This time it was too unexpected. I hope the princess can understand the prince."
Liu Lanxin smiled slightly, showing the magnanimity of the main wife: "It's okay, you go back and tell the prince that I'm waiting for him here. If he needs me for anything, you can also tell me. Concubine Qu's health is important."
These words were very pleasant to the ear, and the eunuch's expression relaxed. After thanking Liu Lanxin, he retreated respectfully.
"Madam..." A maid looked at Liu Lanxin's gloomy face and said, "Maybe... maybe she is really unwell, something she has never experienced before..."
"It's obviously intentional. It's never happened before, but now such a thing happened on the prince's wedding night. This is clearly embarrassing for our queen. He's trying to show his power." Another maid sneered. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something fishy going on.
The one who spoke was the maid Haihua. Haiqing had not fully recovered yet, so Liu Lanxin asked her to rest for a while. She just came out yesterday to show up to support the team. Although another maid was also Liu Lanxin's personal maid, her importance was far less than that of Haihua and Haiqing. After hearing what Haihua said and looking at her master's gloomy face, the maid didn't dare to say anything more.
Liu Lanxin smiled coldly, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it hard on the ground.
“Empress…” Haihua exclaimed.
"Bitch, everyone in the Qu family is really a bitch." Liu Lanxin whispered, the voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth, and slapped the table with her palm.
The teapot on the table shook twice.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. This is obviously aimed at you. It didn't happen earlier or later, but at this time. She is just a concubine, but she dared to lure the prince over at this time. It is obvious that she wanted to intimidate the princess." Haihua persuaded while saying.
She felt angry when she heard this.
You have to know that your own princess is the principal wife, so what does Qu Qiuyan count as
"My queen, what should we do?" another maid asked timidly, finally having the opportunity to speak.
"Wait a moment." Liu Lanxin gritted her teeth and said slowly.
She had just married into the mansion, so she could tolerate it, especially since such a thing happened yesterday. If she didn't tolerate it, it would create new troubles. How could King Jing treat her
It doesn't feel good.
What Liu Lanxin didn't expect was that she could endure it for a whole hour. Haihua had gone to the door several times, but no one was there each time.
"Is anyone here?" Liu Lanxin asked stiffly when she saw Haihua coming in again. She felt uncomfortable inside but had to pretend to be calm on her face. The handkerchief in her hand had been crumpled into a ball. She wished that Qu Qiuyan would appear in front of her right now so that she could have her face torn off.
"The prince hasn't come yet, Princess. Do you want me to go over and check on him?" Haihua suggested. It was getting late and the originally scheduled time to enter the palace was almost up. If they didn't go in, it might be the queen's fault again.
"Go!" Liu Lanxin finally let out a sigh of relief. She also wanted to know what had happened.
Haihua obeyed the order and turned to leave.
The room became quiet again. Another maid looked at Liu Lanxin's stiff face, but finally did not dare to do anything. She lowered her eyes and stood behind Liu Lanxin like a wooden sculpture. The only sound in the room could be heard was Liu Lanxin's intermittent breathing. Her master was extremely angry.
Haihua finally came back, and she came back with a eunuch. When Liu Lanxin saw Haihua's face, she got angry, but she suppressed her anger with all her strength, and then asked slowly, "How is Concubine Qu? How is the prince now?"
"Your Highness, the prince has already gone to the palace. We are still short of doctors in the palace. The prince can't wait. Please go to the palace right now. We can talk about anything after you go to the palace!"
The eunuch said with a smile.
"Has he already entered the palace?" Liu Lanxin asked word by word, gritting her teeth, pinching the handle of the chair with her hands, almost crushing it.
Today was her first day to officially enter the palace to recognize her relatives, but Pei Yusheng didn't even give her the face she wanted and brought Qu Qiuyan into the palace. She didn't believe that Qu Qiuyan was really ill, and she just wanted to embarrass herself on the first day.
She remembered that she had once mocked Liu Jingyu for not even keeping the prince on the night of his wedding. Now, she thought that after what happened today, she had also become a laughing stock.
How dare Qu Qiuyan, this bitch, do such a thing.
"Your Highness, please ask your princess to go now. He is waiting for you in the palace. Please hurry up, otherwise you will miss the time." said the eunuch.
These words were like adding fuel to the fire. Liu Lanxin got up early in the morning and had been waiting until now, even having a hasty breakfast. She had been waiting for Pei Yusheng the whole time, but now he told her not to miss the time.
The dignity on her face could no longer be maintained. She sneered and was about to speak, but when she looked around, she suddenly realized that this was Prince Jing's mansion, not the mansion of the General of the Auxiliary State. She had to endure it now...
"You go back first, I will bring people into the palace immediately." He took a deep breath, and his throat was burning.
"Yes, I obey your command." The eunuch keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly took his leave.
Watching the eunuch leave, Hai Hua looked at Liu Lan Xin: "Your Majesty..."
"Prepare the carriage and go into the palace." Liu Lanxin squeezed out her words one by one. Today was her first day to enter the palace to recognize her relatives. She must not lose face. No matter how angry she was, she had to endure it.
Qu Qiuyan? She is not Liu Jingyu, and she doesn’t have such a good tolerance. She will not tolerate Qu Qiuyan.
The carriage had been prepared long ago. Liu Lanxin took two maids on the carriage and headed for the palace. Prince Jing's mansion was not far from the palace. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the gate of the palace...
