The Queen's heart skipped a beat and she looked uneasy, but she soon regained her composure and said, "Please invite the King of England into the palace!"
The eunuch left and Pei Yuanjun walked in soon.
After paying respect to the Queen in the middle, he lazily said, "I heard that something happened to a concubine in Prince Jing's mansion, and it's related to my princess. Prince Jing, why don't you tell me what's going on? How can the things in your mansion be related to my princess?"
After saying that, his eyes fell on Pei Yusheng.
"Uncle, something happened to Concubine Qu. The doctor said it might be related to yesterday. He asked me to check if she had any contact with people or things that were different from the past. I asked Concubine Qu. Yesterday, Concubine Qu met Concubine Ji and Princess Ying. Concubine Ji drank tea with Concubine Qu and talked for a while. Princess Ying came over and told her two words from Madam Qu. This was different from the past."
Pei Yusheng was unwilling to take this responsibility. His original goal was also the Prince's Mansion, and he did not want to offend Pei Yuanjun.
"So, it was the people from the Crown Prince's Mansion who harmed Concubine Qu, but they want my princess to take the blame?" Pei Yuanjun smiled coldly, his sleepy eyes raised, and looked at Pei Luoan with a bit of sinisterness.
The Queen was a little restless, "King of England, this matter is still under investigation."
With Pei Yuanjun around, this matter could no longer be pushed onto Qu Moying. The Queen was also very troubled. If possible, she would rather beat Qu Qiuyan to death to prevent her from causing so much trouble.
She is just a minor concubine in Prince Jing's mansion.
"Uncle Wang, I just found out about this." Pei Luoan certainly didn't want this to happen to him. "My second brother came to me just now and said that his concubine was not in good health and it was related to my concubine and Princess Ying. Mother had no choice but to invite Princess Ying over first and ask her about it clearly."
He also pushed the blame and pushed the matter back to Pei Yusheng.
The two brothers were unanimous in not wanting to make enemies with Pei Yuanjun. Resentment and jealousy in their hearts were another matter, but at least on the surface they were always respectful and polite to Pei Yuanjun and would not take the initiative to offend such a master.
"Yesterday's incident hasn't been resolved yet, and today something happened again. This prince really thinks that this prince's princess is just a ward off evil. A concubine, a side concubine, is just a concubine. How dare they compare with this prince's wife." Pei Yuanjun glanced at Qu Qiuyan, "If the prince of Jing can make such a fuss about a concubine, he might as well make the concubine his wife."
Today is the second day of Pei Yusheng's wedding. As a newlywed, he not only made a scene in the palace for a concubine, but also in front of the Empress, which was impolite in the first place.
Not to mention that the censors would find out how to report him, even the emperor would think that he did not know how to advance or retreat, and was unable to handle such a heavy responsibility.
Concubine He, who had been sitting on the side watching the show, could no longer sit still. She covered her lips with her handkerchief and said, "Prince Ying, it was not Prince Jing who wanted to make a fuss about this matter. It was because the imperial doctors mentioned it that Prince Jing came to ask about Concubine Ji of the Eastern Palace. This actually implicated Princess Ying."
Concubine He said softly, looking at Qu Moying with some apology: "This matter actually has little to do with Princess Ying. We just met once, didn't get close, and just said a few words. There is no way anything could have happened. Your Majesty, you can investigate it in more detail to avoid people thinking that it is Princess Ying's fault."
Concubine He and the Empress have been fighting for so many years. How could Concubine He stand on the side of the Empress
Mom, this way.
The Queen's face turned blue with anger, but she had to put on airs and explain, "I'm just asking. It seems that this matter has nothing to do with the Princess of England."
"Since the Queen has already found out everything, who is responsible now?" Pei Yuanjun asked disapprovingly.
"This matter must be Concubine Qu's own business. It was originally just a small matter, but now it has shaken the entire palace. I wonder what Concubine Qu is trying to do? Today is only the second day of King Jing's wedding!"
The Queen's eyes slid across everyone and finally landed on Qu Qiuyan, who looked the most aggrieved.
Qu Qiuyan immediately stood up tremblingly, and knelt down in tears, "Empress, I... I just feel unwell. It's... the imperial physician said it might be caused by something."
This means that she has ulterior motives and deliberately made a big deal out of it to embarrass King Jing. How could she bear such words
"Prince Jing, a little concubine has alarmed the entire palace. Not only me, but also Concubine He, and even the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. What exactly does Prince Jing want to do now? You'd better tell me clearly!" said the queen in a cold voice.
"Empress, the imperial physician said it might have been caused by someone. I just asked you to help check it out." Pei Yusheng frowned, looked at the crying Qu Qiuyan, and said.
Just now he was intent on dragging the Eastern Palace into the water, but he forgot that Qu Qiuyan's status was not enough, and the timing was not right. If it was Liu Lanxin who was in trouble now, the Queen would not be able to suppress it even if she wanted to.
Qu Qiuyan's status is still a little too low. This matter will have a big impact on his reputation.
"Sister, this matter is indeed something that happened in Prince Jing's mansion, but it may also involve the prince's concubines in the Eastern Palace. Prince Jing came to you and asked you to verify the matter because he was afraid that the prince would misunderstand." Concubine He smiled gently, explained for Pei Yusheng, and minimized the matter.
Just now, the people from King Jing's lineage were just watching the fun from the sidelines, but now they are stepping forward one after another.
Qu Moying's eyes swept across everyone calmly. This was not the time for her to speak. With Pei Yuanjun around, there was no need for her to say anything.
Even in this deep palace, facing the Queen and others, he felt quite peaceful in his heart.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then her eyes became as red as water.
"I have just checked and it has nothing to do with the concubines in the Eastern Palace and the Princess of England. However, this matter has gone too far." The Queen said in a cold voice.
She had not thought of this reason before, and was wholeheartedly pushing the blame onto Qu Moying, wanting Qu Moying to take the blame. But now that Pei Yuanjun forced her, her mind suddenly became clear. It was still unclear whether this incident was someone else's accident. Who knew whether Qu Qiuyan deliberately caused such an incident to make Pei Yusheng nervous and abandon his newly married wife and step on her face
Just because she brought this matter to the palace and even alarmed me, I have reason to punish her.
"Prince Jing, since this matter has nothing to do with the Eastern Palace, you should ask about it yourself. The Queen is busy with all kinds of affairs, so how could she have the time to help you investigate such a small matter?" Concubine He asked softly.
This means that Pei Yusheng is not going to make trouble again.
Pei Yusheng was a little dissatisfied. He had finally found a mistake of Pei Luoan and could take action against his concubine, but he didn't expect that in the end, Pei Luoan would be allowed to marry so easily.
Zhang open his mouth and think
As he was speaking, he saw Concubine He glaring at him fiercely. He closed his mouth unwillingly, feeling very angry.
"Sister, these are all trivial matters. She is just a concubine. It's not a big deal." Concubine He glanced at Qu Qiuyan with contempt and wanted to end the matter. Since she could not get any benefits from the Queen, she could not really offend the King of England for this concubine. This has always been her idea.
When her son wanted to marry such a girl into the house, Concubine He was angry and she didn't see her for the second time. She didn't care much about Qu Qiuyan, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen. She was indeed a person who was not content with her own life. Even if she didn't like Liu Lanxin, she was still her legitimate daughter-in-law.
"Someone, take her away and give her a good lesson, so that such things won't happen again in Prince Jing's Mansion in the future." Concubine He said lightly.
"Mother, wait a minute!" Pei Yusheng saw that something was wrong and hurried forward to stop it.
"Is Prince Jing reluctant to do so? If the censors knew about this, they would probably report him to the emperor again." The Queen said sarcastically.
"Empress, I still think this matter is related to Concubine Ji of the Eastern Palace." Pei Yusheng said with a serious face, not intending to put all the blame on Qu Qiuyan.
As for the so-called upbringing, Qu Qiuyan had a hard time this time.
"Didn't I just say that Princess Ying and Concubine Ji just wanted to sit down and talk for a while." The Queen said unhappily.
Qu Moying curled his lips calmly, blocking himself in front of Ji Youran.
"A mere concubine is actually compared with my principal wife. My Queen, I don't quite understand what this means?" Pei Yuanjun's voice was as elegant as ever, and he interrupted slowly.
The voice didn't sound angry at all, but it made people feel furious.
The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost couldn't hold it in. There was no respect for her in these words. This was exactly the tone Pei Yuanjun used to speak to her when he was a child.
Every time she was so angry that she vomited blood. It was obviously against the rules, but the emperor didn't say anything about it. What could she do!
"Crown Prince, King Jing also said that something is wrong with your concubine. Why don't you let her come over for a confrontation in person?" After Pei Yuanjun finished speaking, he turned his words to the crown prince, as if he didn't see the anger in the queen's eyes.
"Crown Prince, this is what my uncle and I mean. Are we going to involve Princess Ying in this matter for a little concubine in the Eastern Palace? I heard that this concubine is the crown prince's favorite, otherwise he would not have taken her into the palace at that time. But even if she is the crown prince's favorite, the rules are the rules, and we cannot break the rules just because of her!"
When Pei Yusheng heard Pei Yuanjun speak, he hurriedly followed. What he didn't dare to say to the Queen, he could easily say to Pei Luoan.
"I've already sent for the people, they should be here soon." Pei Luoan took a deep breath and spoke gently to Pei Yuanjun, even with a hint of a smile on his face.
After that, he lectured Pei Yusheng, "Brother, my father also knows why I allowed Concubine Ji to enter the Eastern Palace. You should not speculate like this. If my father hears it, he will think that we are brothers and will definitely reprimand us."
The emperor was carried out, and then he looked at the door.
"Empress, Concubine Ji is here!" A palace maid came in to report at the right time.
So, by chance, here we are...
