"Going to the hot spring resort again?" Liu Jingyu put down the snacks in his hand, took the wet towel handed by the maid, wiped his hands, and asked.
"I heard that he was carried there... maybe it's really... not that good." When the old woman reported, although she spoke hesitantly, her face was full of smiles.
Liu Jingyu sneered with some sarcasm, "No wonder the King of Ying wants to break off the relationship with the Qu family. It's like this. It doesn't matter if it's broken off sooner or later. The Jiangnan Yue family really has... a miserable life! They seem to be fine, but these two... finally ended up..."
Liu Jingyu didn't say anything else, but no one dared to continue the topic. Even the old woman who had been gloating over other people's misfortunes before could only laugh dryly at this time.
Jiangnan Yue married into the capital and had two daughters. The elder one gave birth to the late Crown Princess and Miss Ji San. Now the late Crown Princess died of illness, and Miss Ji San was also said to have died early and under unclear circumstances. People in the government office are still investigating, but they can't find out clearly. The younger one, Yue gave birth to Princess Ying, and now it seems that Princess Ying is dying.
Looking at it this way, none of them had a good ending. Each of these three cousins was beautiful but had a tragic fate.
But they, the servants, dared not say such words. Even if they heard it, they would feel flustered. The Eastern Palace has been conducting strict investigations recently. Not only the people from the yamen are investigating, but also the people around the prince. Compared with the people from the yamen, the people around the prince are investigated in every possible way.
Judging from the Crown Prince's intention, he also wanted to tidy up the Eastern Palace. Not only other people in the Eastern Palace, but also Liu Jingyu's side had been checked back and forth several times. The people around Liu Jingyu were frightened, fearing that if something went wrong, it would be their turn next time.
The old woman regretted having said such a thing just now.
Everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that someone was saying bad things about the former Crown Princess, not to mention that they were just servants, even the Crown Princess would be in trouble.
It is okay to say Princess of England, but it is absolutely unacceptable to say the former Crown Princess.
Liu Jingyu coughed, knowing that he had just said too much. His mother had repeatedly told him not to mention Ji Hanyue in the East Palace.
There is really nothing to worry about for a dead person.
He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip and put it down, then licked the corner of his lips with his handkerchief, "Is the hot spring villa outside our city similar to the one in the British Palace?"
"It should be close. Not only the East Palace and Prince Ying's Palace, but also Prince Wei's Palace and Prince Yan's Palace are all in similar places..." The old woman thought for a moment and replied.
Liu Jingyu remained silent for a long time before he muttered to himself, "Should we go to the hot spring resort outside the city?"
"Your Majesty, are you going too? Are you going to visit the Princess of England? I'm afraid that's not possible, as the Princess of England doesn't see guests." The old woman said. The Prince of England's Palace had rejected their own majesty for this reason before. If she went with him, and with the same reason, it would be embarrassing.
"I heard that hot springs are very effective." Liu Jingyu ignored the old woman and continued speaking calmly.
"I heard it's very good. People with poor health will gradually get better if they soak in it. But now..." The old woman looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly and the weather was very hot. "It may not be as comfortable to soak in a hot spring at this time as in winter."
"What's the effect?"
"The effect should be... about the same, right?" The old woman said uncertainly. Now was not a good time to take a hot spring bath, but the effect might be about the same, just not as comfortable. "I don't know about this matter. If your majesty is interested, you can ask the imperial physician."

Jing Yu shook his hand: "No hurry, Princess Ying is going there, if I go there now, others will think I am going there for Princess Ying."
"Your Highness... Isn't this just right?" The maid standing beside her said happily with her eyes brightened, "Others think that Your Highness didn't come because of Princess Ying and it was just inconvenient for the moment, but Your Highness can take this opportunity to recuperate. Besides, the palace has not been peaceful recently."
Liu Jingyu took a sip and there was joy in her eyes. Yes, she needed to take care of her body now and she couldn't get pregnant for a while. It was all because of that bitch Ji Youran. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but grit her teeth. The most urgent thing was to take care of her body.
If she went out openly, especially at a time like this, it would easily make people think too much, and the Crown Prince couldn't let her know, otherwise her position as the Crown Princess would be unstable.
She is no longer the Princess Jingyu. Although her status has been raised, the actual help she has gained is just a nominal title because of the indifference of the Duke of Qi's Mansion and her father's demotion. If, because of her health problems, the Eastern Palace welcomes another concubine, her background will definitely be stronger than hers.
It would be troublesome if she gave birth to a child.
Now that the Qu Moying incident happened, she took advantage of it to live in a nearby hot spring resort and take good care of her body, and then she used Qu Moying's excuse to evade the prince.
After thinking this through, Liu Jingyu came up with an idea. He washed up a bit and took a few people to the front yard to find Pei Luoan.
Pei Luoan heard that Liu Jingyu had arrived in the study. He rubbed his brows with his hand, and only agreed to let Liu Jingyu in after his brows relaxed a little.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Jingyu left the other servants outside the door and walked in, bowing respectfully.
"What's the matter?" Pei Luoan asked.
"Your Highness, I heard that Princess Ying went to a hot spring resort outside the city to recuperate. I was thinking about whether I should go to the hot spring resort outside the city and wait there. When Princess Ying's health gets better, I will go to visit her." Liu Jingyu smiled softly. She thought this idea was feasible. The prince had always wanted her to be close to the Prince of Ying's Mansion. She would not give up such a good opportunity.
"Are you going to the hot spring resort outside the city?" Pei Luoan's face darkened.
"I heard that place is very close to the hot spring manor of Prince Ying's Mansion. I can wait there and I will be able to see Princess Ying." Liu Jingyu said sincerely, "Princess Ying must have been the victim of this incident. Now that she has severed her relationship with the Qu Mansion, she must be disgusted with Concubine Qu and Madam Qu of Prince Jing's Mansion!"
To put it the other way around, if they could win the favor of the Princess of England while the Prince of England's Palace was venting its anger on the Prince of Jing's Palace, it would be easy to get the King of England to stand on their side.
This is what the prince has always hoped for. Liu Jingyu felt that he had firmly grasped the prince's favor, so this matter was really nothing.
When she came to look for the prince just now, she thought that if the prince was not there, she would just take her people and leave the capital first.
This matter is just a matter of reporting a sentence.
"Bang!" Pei Luoan slammed his hand heavily on the table, staring at Liu Jingyu angrily, with sinister eyes: "Is the Crown Princess going to leave the East Palace?"
"Your Highness... Your Highness, I am at the hot spring villa outside the city..." Liu Jingyu was startled and stuttered, not understanding why the prince reacted so strongly.
"So many things have happened in the Eastern Palace. Now is the important time to rectify the internal affairs. But my Crown Princess wants to take some time off and leave the Eastern Palace? I don't know if I misunderstood or if the Crown Princess doesn't want to accompany me.
I want to deal with the affairs and leave the East Palace behind."
Pei Luoan spoke word by word, his eyes fixed on Liu Jingyu.
Liu Jingyu was so frightened that she knelt down with a plop, her eyes immediately reddened: "Your Highness, I dare not... I just want to help Your Highness relieve your worries, so... I want to wait until Princess Ying is better and can see people, then go to visit her, on the one hand to greet Princess Ying, on the other hand to let everyone see the relationship between Princess Ying and the Eastern Palace."
Others were not allowed to visit the patient, but she went in first. This represented the attitude of the Prince of England's Mansion. No matter how you look at it, this matter was beneficial to the Eastern Palace. Liu Jingyu didn't understand what the prince was thinking. Why did he feel that she wanted to leave the Eastern Palace at this time, just to take some time off, to be alienated from the Eastern Palace and from him
"Really?" Pei Luoan sneered, still looking at her without comment.
"Your Highness, how could I do such a thing? Ever since I married into the Eastern Palace, I have been yours in life and yours in death. I share the same aspirations as yours, and there is no way I would do something that would alienate you. If your Highness doesn't like me, I will stay."
Liu Jingyu had to retreat. Pei Luoan's gloomy look made her feel uneasy and she dared not insist any longer.
"It's the best that the Crown Princess thinks so." Hearing her say this, Pei Luoan's expression softened a little. He stretched out his hand and raised it upwards, motioning her to stand up.
"Your Highness..." Liu Jingyu said with tears in his eyes.
"Crown Princess, please get up first. Just now I thought that you were going to become disloyal to me!" Pei Luoan's face had been gloomy just now, but now it had calmed down.
Liu Jingyu stood up with weak legs, moved his mouth with a pale face, but said nothing in the end.
"Is there anything else, Crown Princess?" Pei Luoan asked.
"I'll take my leave." Liu Jingyu didn't dare to say anything else. She took a step back and saluted sideways.
"The Eastern Palace has been a lot of things lately. Now that the government has finished its investigation, I have to investigate it myself. I feel that I was too soft-hearted in the past, which is why I let others spy on the Eastern Palace. From now on, the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace will be more troublesome to the Crown Princess, and no suspicious person will be let go."
Pei Luoan warned.
"Yes, I obey your order." Liu Jingyu responded.
Seeing the prince waving his hand, he knew it was time for him to leave.
When he got outside, he held the handkerchief tightly in his hand, took two steps, turned around and looked back at the door of the study. The prince was a little strange today.
Although he gave many reasons, the basic meaning was just one: he didn't want her to go to the hot spring outside the city.
It was already spring when she got married to that hot spring, and she had no intention of going there. The two of them had never even mentioned it. But this did not prevent Liu Jingyu from knowing that Ji Youran liked that hot spring very much. She had been there more than once, and it was said that it was for health reasons.
Once when Ji Youran was there, Qu Moying also went there.
The situation at that time was different from now, but it was also similar. In that situation, the prince did not say anything and let Ji Youran live in the farm outside the city.
Why can Ji Youran do it but I can’t
Was it really because she was out of place? The reorganization of the inner court of the Eastern Palace was almost complete. Although many things were the affairs of the inner court, the prince was not willing to let her interfere too much. Now it seemed that it was all her business, how could she not know.
Could it be that the prince doesn't want to let him go to the hot spring resort outside the city...
