Liu Jingyu went with Qu Moying.
She absolutely didn't believe Ji Youran's words that she was suffering from dementia. In the past, the prince never allowed her to go there more often. But today, with Qu Moying's excuse, she could finally take a closer look.
A group of people arrived at Ji Youran's place and entered the inner room. They saw Ji Youran sitting blankly on the bed, looking out the window. She was wearing a plain white dress, with long black hair covering half of her face, making her look even more haggard.
The whole person seemed to have no energy. He just sat there blankly, occasionally mumbling to himself, but the sound was so soft that it was inaudible.
"Greetings to the Crown Princess and the Princess of England." A maid came over from Ji Youran's side and saluted to them with utmost respect.
Liu Jingyu glanced at the maid's face and suddenly asked, "Are you the maidservant of Concubine Ji?"
Judging from her attire, she doesn't look like an ordinary maid. Liu Jingyu knew what capable maids Ji Youran had around her, and none of them looked like the one in front of him.
"I am indeed a maidservant serving the Concubine. I was previously sent to guard the Buddhist temple for a period of time. The Concubine is seriously ill now, so I reported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and came back to serve the Concubine." Xie Feng said.
After hearing her say this, Liu Jingyu immediately knew who it was.
The maid in front of him was the one that Ji Hanyue brought into the mansion and then followed Ji Youran. It was said that before she entered the mansion, she volunteered to guard that remote Buddhist temple. That place was not a place that Liu Jingyu could reach out to.
Before entering the palace, Pei Luoan had already warned her that Ji Hanyue's spirit tablet was placed in that place, and it would be best if her people did not go there to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"You're coming back to serve Concubine Ji?" Just because this maid was once Ji Hanyue's personal maid, Liu Jingyu didn't dare to underestimate her. Moreover, she also heard that this maid had already been the prince's person.
Ji Hanyue is dead, but they still placed a maid here. This feeling is like a lump in my throat, which I can neither spit out nor swallow. It is very uncomfortable.
"Yes!" Xie Feng said, looking extremely respectful, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels that the Concubine's condition is not good, so he asked me to comfort her. When she is well again, I will go back to guard the Buddhist temple and accompany my master."
When Xie Feng said this, his eyes turned red. He turned his head and used a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
The so-called master of hers was naturally not Ji Youran in front of her, but Ji Hanyue who was already gone.
Qu Moying saw this loyal look and felt only a strong sense of mockery. A sinister gleam flashed across his eyes before returning to a cold calm.
His eyes fell on Ji Youran again.
Ji Youran looked indeed very miserable. Anyone could see that Ji Youran was not in good condition. She just sat there blankly, muttering to herself from time to time.
Qu Moying discovered that although her hair was disheveled, it was in the direction where the scar was left after she was scratched before. It was very subtle, and that spot was covered just right, so the scar could not be seen. Only the lower half of her face was visible, pale but with a bit of beauty. Although her hair was disheveled, she looked pitiful.
It made sense that Pei Luoan didn't punish her for losing her position as a concubine.
This Ji Youran looked different from what I saw in the past.
Dementia? It was the right time for him to become demented. Otherwise, Ji Youran would not have been able to get over the situation before him...
"Crown Princess, can you please
Can I have a talk with Concubine Ji?" Qu Moying looked Ji Youran up and down and suddenly asked.
"Reporting to Princess Ying, our queen is... a little confused now." Liu Jingyu was about to speak when Xie Feng hurriedly said, with such a protective look on his face that Liu Jingyu, who was about to speak, stopped talking. He raised his eyes slightly and said nothing.
"Your Madam doesn't know now?" Qu Moying said coldly, "No problem, I'm just asking casually. It would be best if Concubine Ji can understand, but it doesn't matter if she can't. Madam Ji specially invited me here just to ask."
She came here at the invitation of Madam Ji, to take a look at the situation and ask questions clearly.
Hearing her say this, Liu Jingyu became even quieter and just listened quietly.
This matter has nothing to do with her. Judging from Qu Moying's expression, she had to come because she was asked to do so, but she didn't seem to be very willing to come.
This eased Liu Jingyu's suspicion.
“But our queen…” Xie Feng panicked and explained anxiously.
"How dare you!" Yu Xiu shouted, "You are just a little maid, how can you dare to stop our queen and the Crown Princess?"
Xie Feng's face changed, and he knelt down with a plop. He said in a trembling voice, "Crown Princess, I... I am just... just telling the truth."
"Speaking frankly, Princess Consort, I wonder if I can talk to Ji Youran alone?" Qu Moying sneered and looked at the owner here, Liu Jingyu.
"Of course you can." Liu Jingyu looked at Xie Feng who was kneeling on the ground, smiled slightly, raised his hand, and motioned Xie Feng to stand up. "You are a loyal maid. Get up, walk outside with me, and tell me about your master."
This is a rare opportunity, and Liu Jingyu really has something he wants to ask Xie Feng.
Xie Feng stopped Qu Moying to put her doubts to rest. She no longer focused on the purpose of Qu Moying's visit. In the past, this maid could never get close to her, so the present opportunity was indeed a good one.
"Her Majesty the Crown Princess." Xie Feng looked up excitedly.
"Get up." Liu Jingyu smiled slightly and said softly, then turned and walked out.
Xie Feng stood up, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qu Moying, and finally lowered his head and followed Liu Jingyu away.
Qu Moying waved his hand, and Yuxiu retreated to guard the door of the inner room.
The room fell silent, with only Qu Moying and Ji Youran, who was sitting blankly on the bed, remaining in the room.
Qu Moying took two steps forward, walked in front of Ji Youran, stood still quietly, and heard Ji Youran unconsciously call out a few words in a low voice.
"Child, give me back my child." "Second sister's child" "My child"...
The words were unclear. If you didn't listen carefully, you really couldn't hear clearly. The words were intermittent, and he mumbled a few words from time to time. And it was an unconscious choking sound. It could be felt that Ji Youran was in extreme pain.
"Concubine Ji, I'm here today because of Madam Ji. Madam Ji, does you want to know if there's anything I can do for you?" Qu Moying said lightly, sitting down on a chair beside her, facing Ji Youran who was lying on the bed in front of her.
"Child" "My child"
Ji Youran was mumbling again, staring straight ahead...
"I heard that Concubine Ji was faking her pregnancy. I wonder where the child came from? And you said it was my cousin's child. I heard that my cousin just married in that day and didn't officially become the Crown Princess."
Qu Moying sneered, no longer polite, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, her eyes
A sinister piece.
"It was my cousin who married in that day, but in the end it was Concubine Ji who ended up with the good thing. In front of others, Concubine Ji always called me Second Sister, but no one knows how Concubine Ji... entered the East Palace behind the scenes?" Qu Moying sneered, "If my cousin knew about everything now, she would definitely smile."
Ji Youran didn't say anything, nor did he move, as if he hadn't heard anything. He was still looking at a certain spot outside the window, dazed and stunned. Something was wrong with him, as if he was imprisoned in a specific space of his own and couldn't get out.
"Concubine Ji is faking her pregnancy, Madam Ji is pretending to faint, and your mother might be really crazy or just pretending to be crazy. As for your father... what's next..." Qu Moying smiled, and such a smile was almost creepy in the empty room, "What's next is the turn of your father and brother..."
Ji Youran's head slowly turned around, and her gaze seemed to turn from a distance to Qu Moying. With a bit of coldness, she just looked at her straight, which made people feel creepy.
"Give me back my child... Give me back my child..."
As Ji Youran spoke, she was about to reach out her hand, and her sharp nails poked out.
"If you really reach out your hand, I will let your father and brother be buried with you. Even if the crown prince protects you and the King of England is here... you will not get any good." Qu Moying's words were full of sarcasm. "Are you stupid? I believe the West Prison has a hundred kinds of punishments to make you truly stupid and live a life worse than death!"
She could sense the ferocity in Ji Youran's eyes, which touched her soft spot. She thought of using the excuse of stupidity to harm herself directly.
Sure enough, Ji Youran's hand stopped, and he looked straight at Qu Moying, with a fierce light in his eyes, no longer the weak and delicate look he had just now.
"You...what do you mean?" After a long while, I heard her hoarse voice.
She had to speak. The British princess in front of her frightened her, especially her father and brother whom she mentioned vaguely in her words. Her mother had already been in trouble, and her grandmother was a useless waste who only knew how to ask for things and didn't know how to help her. If her father and brother were to get into trouble again, she would be even more isolated and helpless.
As the prince's concubine, if her family is not helpful, she will have no status in the Eastern Palace.
"It's nothing, I just came to see how Concubine Ji is doing. You used your cousin's name to get into the East Palace, but now you can't even keep your position as a concubine. You even need to use your cousin's name. If you had known this would happen, Concubine Ji, do you regret it?"
Do you regret it
If you had known this would end up like this, would you regret it
These simple words shocked Ji Youran's heart and made her eyes dazed. Did she regret it
She regretted it!
She regretted it a long time ago...
When she found out that the person in the prince's heart was Ji Hanyue, she felt a little regretful, but her regret was immediately overwhelmed by jealousy. Why should Ji Hanyue get what she couldn't get
Everything belongs to Ji Hanyue, why don’t I have anything
Ji Hanyue's father was a great general and the Earl of Ling'an, while his own father was just a useless son of an earl with no reputation; Ji Hanyue's mother, Jiangnan Yue, had a dowry far exceeding that of his own mother, and his own mother had nothing to complain about, and the useless family from her natal family came to beg for food and drink every day.
She is the eldest daughter of the Bo family, why am I inferior to Ji Hanyue
Even if they were to choose a crown princess, they would choose me first. Why could Ji Hanyue be chosen as the crown princess when I haven't even got engaged yet...
