"Your Majesty, this matter is of no small importance!" Qu Moying sighed softly, bowed to the Queen, and said softly.
The Queen's expression changed and darkened: "What do you mean, Princess Ying?"
The smile on Mrs. Fengyang's face froze. She stared at Qu Moying blankly, her teeth clenched, nervous and with a bit of resentment.
Liu Jingyu's heart skipped a beat and he inexplicably had a bad feeling. The long nail on his little finger accidentally got caught in the handkerchief, catching a few strands of silk and injuring the nail.
"Your Majesty, originally this matter should have been decided after I returned to the palace and asked the imperial physician to examine her. However, I just received the order from your Majesty and hurried over. I have not had time to return to the palace yet. Now I have entrusted this matter to the King of England to handle. When Miss Xu was hit, the carriage was not moving fast. Many passers-by said that Miss Xu was an assassin, and the people around me thought so too."
"The prince may know it now." Qu Moying finished her last sentence under the empress's gloomy gaze.
With the big veil of "assassin" coming down, Pei Yuanjun had a reason to question him. If he had just accidentally bumped into someone on the road, Pei Yuanjun would not have been likely to intervene.
Besides, Qu Moying has entered the palace now. The servants in the King of England's palace dare not deal with this matter and will definitely go to the King of England.
No matter what happens, as long as it comes to Pei Yuanjun, it will not be a trivial matter!
The Queen frowned, but could not find a reason to reprimand Qu Moying.
It’s not that Qu Moying wants to hold on to this matter, but it just so happens that this matter has fallen into Pei Yuanjun’s hands, and Pei Yuanjun’s intentions are not something that others can ignore.
"Empress, Qinglu is not an assassin. How could someone like Qinglu be an assassin?" When Lady Fengyangbo saw that the Empress was silent, she knew something was wrong and said anxiously.
“What Madam Fengyang said is true, but regarding this matter now… I don’t know if the prince has asked about it. If he has, he might have already taken the person to the cell, and then…” Qu Moying nodded and responded to act as Madam Fengyang.
Mrs. Fengyang was trembling all over. If such a good lady were to go to jail, there would be no way to explain the whole matter.
After this... what else can there be...
"Mother... This must be just a misunderstanding. Miss Xu couldn't be the assassin." Liu Jingyu had to help explain. How could this matter become like this? Could it be that Qu Moying knew about the relationship between me and Xu Qinglu
But how did she know
Xu Qinglu had followed her very early on, and the two were not openly close. When Liu Jingyu was very young, she heard Madam Liu always say that she had unlimited potential in the future, that she would be second only to one man and above ten thousand people, and that she would be the mother of the country in the future.
Therefore, some people would secretly make friends with some ladies they thought they would be good friends with.
On the surface, she was on good terms with those young ladies from aristocratic families and had a very good reputation among them. Not only was she not competitive, but she was also of noble birth and, although she was not of royal blood, she was still known as a county lady. Just for this reason, she was the top young lady from aristocratic family in the capital. She was also good at treating people and would treat those who were not as high in status as her equally.
In secret, she would also look for some young ladies of low status who were eager to get in. They often had humble family backgrounds but were unwilling to live in mediocrity. By seducing them a little, she could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
People do some simple things to give them hope of advancement, suggesting that only if they make friends with themselves, there will be unlimited possibilities in the future.
Among these people are Xu Qinglu and Zhou Jinruo, but Xu Qinglu is more devoted to Liu Jingyu.
Therefore, Liu Jingyu values Xu Qinglu more.
Xu Qinglu was able to hook up with Qu Mingcheng, and Liu Jingyu gave her strong support and helped a lot.
"This may be a misunderstanding, but I don't know what our prince thinks about it." Qu Moying responded softly.
"Why doesn't the Princess of England send someone to explain this to the King of England? If something really happens to Miss Xu, the Princess of England will be guilty of a great crime."
Liu Jingyu said with a serious face.
The Queen spoke up, "Princess Ying, this matter was originally caused by you. Xu Qinglu is still unconscious. If she is thrown into the cell now, she may really die. This matter will inevitably fall on Princess Ying in the end. By then, even if the King of Ying wants to protect you... I'm afraid the Emperor will... not agree."
The Queen Mother was annoyed after being repeatedly rejected by Qu Moying and thinking that this matter was caused by Qu Moying and now he had such an attitude.
"I understand. Will I go back and deal with this matter now?" Qu Moying said.
If Pei Yuanjun is really involved in this matter, it will be troublesome. The Queen looked at the wife of Marquis Fengyang and nodded: "Princess Ying, please go back for now and release Xu Qinglu quickly. As for the compensation, Princess Ying has to think about it. The young lady of the noble family has not woken up yet. What will happen in the end? This palace has to see what she thinks, or what Marquis Fengyang's Mansion thinks."
This means that this matter is wrong and we must take full responsibility to make up for it.
Qu Moying sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Your Majesty is right. After returning home, I will definitely ask our prince to see what he thinks."
These words choked the Empress, making her speechless for a moment. If there was anyone who was the most difficult to deal with, it would naturally be Pei Yuanjun. He had been like this since he was a child. When he was young, the Empress had actually spent a lot of time on Pei Yuanjun, threatening, bribing, beating him, hinting... But this evil star had been a person who would not be persuaded by anything since he was a child.
Moreover, the queen would often be so embarrassed that she had to push someone to take the blame.
Since then, people have been wary of Pei Yuanjun, not to mention that Pei Yuanjun later held great power and even his own son had to be threatened.
"Princess Ying, this matter... can't really cost Miss Xu her life, right? Maybe Miss Xu just wasn't paying attention and bumped into the carriage. After all, I heard from Earl Feng Yang just now that Miss Xu had some problems before and couldn't stand it. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Princess Ying, but if Princess Ying this time... this matter could really cost someone their life."
Liu Jingyu advised softly, and seemed to be on Qu Moying's side.
Mrs. Fengyang did not say anything, but stared at Qu Moying with grief and anger. Although she had just heard Qu Moying say that her niece was fine, but thinking that Qu Moying had not yet let go, she poured out all her resentment on Qu Moying, thinking that Qu Moying was getting in the way of her niece by not letting go.
It's obviously a very simple matter, why doesn't she let it go
This is an attempt to kill Qinglu!
Qu Moying ignored the look in Feng Yangbo's wife's eyes and just smiled at the Queen, "Queen, this matter is no longer something I can decide. I will go back to the palace and see if there is any problem.
If there is anything, I will report it to Her Majesty the Queen immediately."
Not talking about right or wrong, just telling what to do, this can be considered a soft rejection, but the Queen Mother couldn't find any fault with Qu Moying.
Her answer was not wrong, but it offended the Queen.
Glancing coldly at Qu Moying, the Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling her to go down. It was originally a small matter, but now it made her think twice before doing anything. It was a great blow to her lofty position as the Queen. It would be strange for the Queen Mother to be happy.
Seeing Qu Moying calmly bow to the Queen, then turn around and leave with her maid, Liu Jingyu frowned. She didn't like this.
"Empress, Qinglu...what should we do with Qinglu?" Lady Fengyangbo began to cry and beg again.
The Queen said tiredly, "We will discuss this matter after Princess Ying replies."
The look on her face towards Lady Fengyang was no longer as affectionate as before, and her eyes closed slightly. A palace maid came over and helped the Queen go in to rest.
Liu Jingyu and Lady Fengyang were both thrown into the hall.
“Crown Princess, Queen Queen… this is…” Lady Fengyangbo panicked and hurried to Liu Jingyu’s side, worried that the Queen Queen was really angry with her.
"Madam, I may have to trouble Earl Fengyang with this matter." Liu Jingyu sighed and said helplessly.
“But...but..." Lady Feng Yangbo was at a loss for words. She entered the palace today to avoid Feng Yangbo. With Feng Yangbo's personality, how could he take the initiative to do such a thing
"Actually, there is no need for Feng Yangbo to do anything. He just needs to go to King Ying's mansion and explain the matter to King Ying. As for what to do afterwards, it depends on King Ying's opinion." Liu Jingyu helped to come up with an idea. Feng Yangbo is a useful person, and he has a group of useful Yun Gui around him. If Qu Moying is determined to break off with them, maybe he can pull these people to the side of the prince.
Thinking about it this way, the current situation cannot be said to be the worst. If Xu Qinglu's death is really useful, he can actually die.
"This... Is this really all that's needed?" Lady Fengyang asked in a panic. She was really panicking. She originally thought that if she just asked the Queen, everything would be fine.
"Madam... In this situation, even if Marquis Fengyang doesn't show up, it won't work. Everyone knows that Miss Xu is raised in Marquis Fengyang's mansion. If Marquis Fengyang doesn't go, people will inevitably think that Marquis Fengyang is a little cold and timid. They may even say that Marquis Fengyang is afraid of the King of England and can't even take care of his own flesh and blood."
Liu Jingyu increased the emphasis in his words and spoke slowly.
Every word and every sentence fell into the heart of Lady Fengyang. She nodded as she listened, and she hated Qu Moying even more.
By the time Liu Jingyu had finished speaking, Lady Fengyang had understood what she was going to do, and immediately said goodbye to Liu Jingyu: "My Lady, I will go back to the palace now to explain this to my Lord. No matter what, Qinglu is the daughter of an official. Even if she is the Princess of Ying, you cannot take her life lightly, kill her, and put all the false charges on Qinglu, otherwise I will file a complaint with the Emperor."
The more Mrs. Fengyangbo thought about it, the more she felt that Qu Moying had gone too far. Liu Jingyu aggravated her anger and turned around and hurried away with her people to find Fengyangbo to discuss countermeasures.
Liu Jingyu lowered his head, tore off the injured nail, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes...
