"His Royal Highness the King of England comes here quite often. I heard that he would come to visit from time to time, but he just comes to visit. In fact, he doesn't do anything. Occasionally he sits in the room of the Princess of England, and the rest of the time he rests in the farm." The maid had asked about this kind of thing a lot when she was waiting outside just now.
This will be sorted out and reported to Qu Luqin.
Qu Luqin was not surprised by this. She had just married her casually because she was interested in Qu Moying's fate. Now Qu Moying herself was seriously ill, which showed that her fate was just average. How could she still be valued by the King of England and be able to come and visit from time to time? It was because of Qu Moying's position as the King of England's Princess.
She did not expect the King of England to like her at first sight. She thought she was very good-looking, but compared to Qu Moying, no matter how proud she was, she had to admit that she was far inferior.
The King of England doesn't even like someone like Qu Moying, which shows that he is not a womanizer.
This is better. Compared with Qu Moying, her advantages are obvious. She is gentle and obedient. No matter how many women the King of England has in the future, she doesn't care. She wants the King of England to think she is magnanimous. She is the best candidate to be the queen.
As the King of England, since he could marry Qu Moying, an orphan who had lost her mother, why couldn't he eventually make himself the queen
What we need to do now is to win the favor of the King of England.
Qu Luqin has already thought about how to behave in front of the King of England. She cannot be like those lowly women who throw themselves into his arms the moment they see him. She has to keep a distance from him while letting him feel her gentleness and kindness. This may sound difficult, but it is actually not that hard to do.
As long as the King of England could see her serving Qu Moying, no matter how annoyed or scolded Qu Moying, she would not feel wronged and would serve her wholeheartedly. She would even boldly make requests to the King of England for Qu Moying's health. Compared with those women who only knew how to throw themselves into the arms of others, she was much superior.
From then on, she would stay by Qu Moying's side. Even if there was someone serving Qu Moying and she was not needed, she would still wait in the room over there.
After all, this courtyard is too far away and not suitable for meeting the King of England.
Once I show my face in front of the King of England, I can plan for other things...
"Master, there is indeed medicine in here, mainly on the spoon, and some of it has already entered the medicinal food. If the master uses this medicinal food, his body will become weaker."
Nanny Miao reported that she was holding a medicinal meal in her hand. This was the medicinal meal that had been replaced by Yuchun before. She had just checked and found that drugs had been put in it.
"It's about the same as what Concubine Qu had at that time!" Qu Moying said leisurely. When she smelled that scent, she was sure of it.
Nanny Miao's words only made her further confirmed.
Medicine in Northern Xinjiang...
This kind of medicine could not possibly appear in Qu Luqin's hands. Thinking about the relationship between Qu Luqin and Liu Jingyu, the things that Madam Qi had when she was ill should also have been given by Madam Liu. Qu Moying had some clues in his mind.
"That's right, master. Qu Luqin came with bad intentions. Should we drive her out?" asked Nanny Miao.
"Not necessary now, let's talk about it in two days." Qu Moying smiled slightly. She knew at that time that Qu Luqin came with bad intentions, and the two of them had fought each other at that time.
At that time, she looked like a victim, but in fact she benefited the most. Qu Hongqin was played in her hands. She was a very scheming person.
From the beginning, she had wanted to follow Qu Moying and marry into the Prince of England's palace as a concubine. Now that she is "seriously ill", it goes without saying that this is even more urgent.
However, she was only a concubine's daughter and did not have the ability to ask the second old lady Qu to come forward. Moreover, she could get the consent of other old ladies, and be selected among so many daughters of the Qu family. And she was sent to her at this time, which originally meant that things were not simple.
Qu Luqin has the intention but not the ability.
The capable one should be Liu Jingyu, just like the medicine on Qu Luqin's handkerchief, this matter should be controlled by Liu Jingyu from remote control. I remember what the wife of Duke Yu had said when she came back from the palace before, saying that the Queen Mother still needed to verify it and the relationship between the two could not be disclosed.
The Queen Mother and the Crown Princess were present at the time. Although the Crown Princess did not say a word, Lady Yuguogong still felt that the Crown Princess was not in a good mood.
Her smile was even more forced when she left.
The wife of Duke Yuguo did not understand the meaning of this, but Qu Moying had been on guard against Liu Jingyu for a long time. How could the Crown Princess watch her return to her ancestral home and become involved with the Duke Yuguo Mansion
Sure enough, the Crown Princess couldn't wait any longer.
"Two days? So urgent?" Aunt Miao understood what Qu Moying meant. After a moment's pause, she became furious. "This Qu Luqin really looks like a kind-hearted person, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel. She said she wanted to serve the master well, but she is actually trying to push the master to death!"
With the illness Qu Moying pretended to have, she could have delayed recovery for a while, but now it's "two days", which shows how anxious she is to take Qu Moying's life. She's so impatient and so cruel. Madam Miao wants to go over and slap Qu Luqin right now and kick this vicious woman out of Prince Ying's Palace.
"She is naturally anxious. I heard that the Second Old Lady wanted to arrange a marriage for her. The man was a man in his fifties who was to be her second wife. He gave the Second Old Lady a lot of things. The Second Old Lady didn't want to do it at first, but later she agreed because of all the good things. Now she just wants me to die. She thinks that only if I die can she survive."
Qu Moying curled her lips sarcastically, blinked her eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "She may think that I am going to die anyway, so it is reasonable for me to seek benefits for her before I die. After all, we both have the surname Qu, and I, a daughter of the Qu family, should pave the way for the Qu family after my death."
Madam Ji probably thought the same way at the time. She was a daughter of the Ji family when she was alive and a ghost of the Ji family when she died. Even before her death, she had to work for the welfare of the Ji family.
Let her die. As long as the Ji family is fine, as long as she is fine, and she can still live a life of wealth and glory, it doesn't matter to Madam Ji whether she has one more granddaughter or one less granddaughter. She thinks Ji Youran listens to her the most, obeys her the most, and is the most filial. As long as she is there, it's enough.
"Fortunately, the master is not a daughter of the Qu family, otherwise she would have been sucked blood by them even after she died." Nanny Miao said hatefully.
"Madam Miao, did she use a large amount?" Yu Xiu was very worried and asked about the amount put into the medicinal food.
"They are very big, not only on her handkerchief, but also on her clothes. Maybe in the next few days, they will also be on various accessories. They want to take the master's life quickly." said Nanny Miao. Although she did not see Qu Luqin's clothes, based on Yuxiu's description, she knew that there were a lot of them on that dress as well.
If Qu Luqin were allowed to stay in the house for a period of time, it was possible that the master might become unwell, as the master's body was weaker than that of an average person.
"Master, what should we do? She will be here soon and may plan to stay here forever." Yuxiu said.
Qu Moying sneered: "She will definitely do that."
"Master, don't get too close. It's no big deal if you don't allow her the opportunity to get in before the master's meal." Madam Miao said, "Pay special attention to her when she delivers food to the master."
"Don't worry, Ma'am. I know." Yuxiu nodded.
"It's okay. When the gauze curtain falls, how can she know who is inside? We have to give her a chance and let her feel that she has accomplished something." Qu Moying said indifferently. She didn't plan to stay here with Qu Luqin all the time. She was just a concubine's daughter of the Qu family and a tool in the hands of others. Her opponent has never been Qu Luqin.
"Master, let me come. I will lie down inside and keep an eye on her movements. I am in good health and these things have no effect on me."
Yuxiu's eyes lit up and she said immediately.
"The master asked me to come. Yuxiu has been serving here before. If she disappears, it will arouse suspicion. I am not here often. You can say that I was sent out because of something." Yuchun suggested.
Nanny Miao also agreed with this.
Seeing that they all thought it was appropriate, and thinking about the fact that the bed was far away and there was a gauze curtain between them, a normal person should not be affected, Qu Moying agreed.
Besides, she wouldn't give Qu Luqin too many chances...
Sure enough, not long after, Qu Luqin came with her maid. They stood in the yard and did not come in. They asked someone to go in and report first. After a while, Yuxiu came out.
"Ms. Luqin."
"How is Princess Ying?" Qu Luqin asked with concern.
Yuxiu shook her head: "I just went to bed, and I always sleep restlessly. Now I am okay."
"Can I go in and take a look?" Qu Luqin asked. There was a strong fragrance on her body. This was the clothes she had just changed. Yuxiu remembered that the fragrance on the clothes was not so strong at that time. But after just a while, it became stronger. It was obvious that she had tampered with it again.
Yuxiu did not stop her and led the way in front. Qu Luqin followed behind and went into the inner room. The room was very quiet. The gauze curtains were mostly drawn, and only the figure of a woman could be vaguely seen inside. There was no sound at all.
"Can I go and take a look?" Qu Luqin stopped and waited for a while. Seeing that there was no movement from the person inside, she asked Yuxiu in a low voice with anxiety.
"No, let the princess have a good sleep." Yuxiu stopped her.
"Then I'll wait here for Princess Ying to wake up. If Princess Ying needs anything, I can prepare it for her immediately." Qu Luqin said softly, pointing to the brocade stool beside the bed.
"Miss Luqin is a guest. How can I really let you serve here?" Yuxiu glanced in the direction of the brocade stool and refused.
Qu Luqin shook her head and said, "It's okay. I came here to serve the Queen of England. If I do nothing, my grandmother will definitely blame me. I hope Miss Yuxiu can fulfill my wish."
As he spoke, he bowed to Yuxiu with sincerity.
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Yuxiu did not stop her and asked someone to move the chair five steps away from the bed. There was also a table there with fruits and snacks on it, and someone brought some tea.
Just as she let the maid leave, a maid came in hurriedly and reported to Yuxiu: "Sister Yuxiu, the manager of the manor asked you to come over. Something happened!"
