Watching Qu Luqin leave, Yu Chun on the bed finally breathed a sigh of relief, spread her arms and legs, and fell down: "I'm so tired."
It was not easy to keep the body so stiff and motionless. Yuchun wanted to fall asleep, but was afraid that Qu Luqin might do something, so she kept staring at Qu Luqin with her eyes open.
Yuxiu put the cup in her hand heavily on the table, looked at it and asked, "Have you touched it?"
"She has touched it, and she even took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe it cleanly. It doesn't look like it's her first time doing such a thing." Yu Chun said sarcastically. She could see clearly through the gauze curtain that Qu Luqin's movements were extremely fast and her hands and feet were very nimble, which showed that she was very familiar with this kind of thing.
"I really couldn't wait, I applied it again and again."
"I'll send Aunt Miao to check this thing out later."
After testing the things, it turned out to be the same medicinal powder as before, in a large quantity. Now that it was touched by water, the lower part had dissolved into the water, and when one wiped the upper part with one's hand, a light layer of powder could actually be wiped out.
After taking such a large dose, Qu Moying was already "extremely weak", and he would definitely lose consciousness and would not last for more than a few days.
Shaking the water in the teacup, Qu Moying's eyes were cold. Qu Luqin's motives had been impure since she came in, so it was expected that she would act so viciously. In her previous life, she had experienced such a thing. Ji Youran was Ji Hanyue's cousin, and they grew up together, and they were like real sisters. She could even push Ji Hanyue down from Linyuan Pavilion. Although Qu Luqin's behavior was similar, Qu Moying could already accept it calmly.
"An Dong, have you found out anything?" Putting down the teacup in his hand, Qu Moying asked An Dong who had just come over.
An Dong used to follow Miss Tong, but now that Miss Tong no longer needs her surveillance, she asked him to investigate the affairs of the second old lady of the Qu family.
"Miss Qu Hongqin has been ill recently, and her illness is quite serious. I heard that she was originally going to get married, but because of this matter, the discussion has been postponed. The husband she originally chose has a status and position comparable to that of the other party, and is a legitimate son. But what's interesting is that I found that the gentleman didn't choose Miss Qu Hongqin, but this Qu Luqin."
"When the two families were discussing marriage, Miss Qu Hongqin took a fancy to this young man, and he also thought he was quite good, so the matter was settled. However, later on, when this young man came to give gifts, he would always meet Qu Luqin. As a result, he developed a strong affection for Qu Luqin and I heard that he wanted to marry her, but the matter was suppressed by this young man's family."
"Then Miss Qu Hongqin accidentally fell ill. The illness was not serious at first, just a common cold. Somehow, the cold became more and more severe, and now she is bedridden and looks very weak." An Dong paused here, his eyes fell on the teacup in front of him, "If there is this thing, Miss Qu Hongqin may never get better."
"If it doesn't work out, will the marriage between the two families be cancelled?" Yuxiu asked.
"It all depends on whether someone is behind this. If it's done right, Qu Luqin will marry him. After all, marriage is about marrying two families. Miss Qu Hongqin may not be here, but since this marriage was carefully chosen, how could it not happen? I heard that Qu Luqin even went to serve Miss Qu Hongqin for a few days, and then left after being scolded and crying."
An Dong said meaningfully.
Everyone present understood.
Yuchun gritted her teeth and said, "Master, this woman is vicious and shameless. She has chosen her brother-in-law."
"Then why is she here now?" Yuxiu asked thoughtfully, her eyes falling on the teacup in front of her again.
"Of course she thinks our palace is much better than that one. Comparing the two, she wants to be the owner of the palace." An Dong sneered. There are quite a few women like this recently.
The prince's reputation is there, and few people have dared to plot against him over the years. Unexpectedly, now that they see their master moving into the Prince of England's Palace, many people's minds have become active again.
"Master, what should we do now? She just went to the manor and asked the people there when the prince would come. She also found a place near where the prince came in and out, saying that she would worship him properly in the evening and even changed into a very delicate dress and went there."
Yuxiu sneered.
She is really shameless. On the one hand, she says that she will not meet the prince here, saying that there is a difference between men and women, as if it is a very proper rule. On the other hand, she goes to guard the road where the prince passes by. She wants to meet the prince by chance, and it would be best if the prince takes a fancy to her. Then she can say a few words for her, and then she can get twice the result with half the effort.
"Since Qu Luqin is in contact with that young master, did she leave anything behind?" Qu Moying leaned back, a smile appeared in his eyes, and asked lightly.
Since there is a private affair, something must be left behind. On the one hand, it is convenient for the young man to miss the person when he sees the thing, and on the other hand, it is for emergency use. At certain times, this may be the most important reason.
"Yes, I brought a handkerchief that Qu Luqin gave to this young master. There are also some other small items, such as sachets and purses, which were all given to this young master. These embroidered items all have a small green word on them. They were all embroidered by Qu Luqin herself, and then they were quietly given away."
"It's time for these two to talk about marriage." Yuxiu said. Qu Luqin's character is indeed vicious and outrageous, but is this young man a good person
He knew clearly that the person he was going to marry was Miss Qu Hongqin, but he was flirting with this Qu Luqin and was acting ambiguous with her. He even replaced all the things on his body with those of Qu Luqin. If he said that there was no other meaning behind this, who would believe him!
"Have the maids outside left?" Qu Moying thought for a moment and asked. She was asking about the maids who had followed Qu Luqin to the farm and were later driven away.
After they left, they did not go back immediately, but stayed in a nearby farm. It was said that they were worried about Qu Luqin and the like.
"I have already left to report the news. I think my master will not be spared this time. I have to report the news quickly and ask Qu to send her to the Prince of Ying's mansion. I also have to ask them to send someone to tell you about this matter. Whether this matter is successful or not depends on your consent. You have to tell the prince, and then they will be considered successful. Even if you can't say it, I have to report this matter to the master."
Yuxiu saw clearly that the Qu family was really greedy.
If the master is really the daughter of the Qu family, then they will really lie on her body and suck her blood, and they will not stop until the master is completely drained of blood.
Not only did they suck it clean, they didn't let it go even after it died. If the master was really killed, they would have to pave the way for the Qu family and bring the enemy who killed them into the Yingwang Palace and send him before the prince.
The Qu family had a really good idea.
Whenever Yuxiu thought that Qu Luqin was trying to harm her master, she would grit her teeth in anger and a hint of coldness would flash in her eyes. She had never been a gentle and lovely maid.
Sensing that several maids were holding their breath, especially Yuxiu and An Dong, both of whom wanted to beat Qu Luqin, Qu Moying smiled.
The second old lady's people are coming, that's good...
Qu Luqin dressed up carefully before going out. As the saying goes, she had to take a bath and change clothes, so of course she had to dress up well.
The light pink jacket and the eight-piece lotus leaf skirt underneath, with natural green leaves and a hint of shyness in the pink, give her a pitiful and delicate look.
The waist is tied to show off her slender waist, and her face is evenly powdered and made up, with even a little lipstick, but it's not so heavy, so it looks more natural.
After the appearance comes the ring ornaments, which don't need to be too bright. Qu Moying is sick, and she is going to worship. Although the light pink jacket is a bit bright, the skirt is light, which can weaken the brightness. Besides, it is still light pink, which is not too unusual. As for the ring ornaments, a hairpin is enough.
The raised beads dotted her hair. She looked at herself in front of the dressing table several times. Only when she saw her beautiful face in the mirror did she feel satisfied.
Although Qu Moying is extremely beautiful, how can she compare with me in her current condition? She is so thin that only bones are visible. How can she be as charming and outstanding as me
Isn’t it because of my appearance that Prince Wang chose me
It's a pity that all her previous thoughts were wasted. If she had known that she had such an opportunity to enter the Prince of England's Palace, she would not have offended Young Master Wang and would have let Qu Hongqin marry Young Master Wang. She would be Haoyue in the future, and Young Master Wang would be nothing. How could he compare with the King of England
I have given away too many things before, and I am afraid that I can't take them back for a while. Qu Hongqin may see them in the future. But even if she sees them, what does it matter? By then, I am the King of England's man. Will Qu Hongqin dare to make trouble? Even if Qu Hongqin wants to make trouble, she has her grandmother to suppress her. If Qu Hongqin wants to make trouble, she will make trouble with the prince.
What does it have to do with me!
Thinking of this, I felt even happier. Although I lamented that all the previous things were in vain and I had wasted so much time and effort, compared to who I am now, these are nothing, just small things.
She lifted up her skirt and stood up, turning around on the spot. The maid exclaimed, "Miss, you are so beautiful!"
Qu Luqin smiled and put her hand on her cheek to hide the smile that could not be suppressed at the corner of her lips. Of course she was beautiful, otherwise she would not have attracted the prince's attention and made him repeatedly assure her that he would marry her and not Qu Hongqin. Only a few days later, he came to cancel the engagement on the grounds that Qu Hongqin had a serious illness, and then proposed to her again.
But now, she doesn't need it anymore... /
What is a prince? He is not even worthy of carrying my shoes in the future. I can marry whoever he wants. Anyway, I will never marry him again. I reached out and touched the hairpin again, tapped the pearls and shook it. The woman in the makeup mirror looked at her increasingly fair skin and beautiful face.
"Let's go, it should be about time to go there now..." Qu Luqin was very satisfied...
