"Xu Qinglu is awake?" After Qu Moying returned home, the first thing he asked was about Xu Qinglu.
I was not surprised to hear that Xu Qinglu had woken up.
The British palace is indeed not a dangerous place, but it is also not a place where anyone can come if they want to.
Pei Yuanjun didn't need to say anything, Ji Hai alone was able to "wake" Xu Qinglu up. As for whether it was by scaring him or some other method, Qu Moying didn't ask much. With Xu Qinglu's pretense, this man would definitely wake up.
"Your servant greets the queen." Sure enough, before reaching Xu Qinglu's place, he saw Ji Hai coming out with a smile on his face.
"What's the matter?" Qu Moying asked as he walked forward.
"She's awake. I originally thought that the assassin should be sent to the Western Prison. Even the people from the Western Prison came here. I didn't expect Miss Xu to wake up." Ji Hai curled his lips and said indifferently.
As soon as he entered the room, he knew that Miss Xu was pretending. She sounded like she was unconscious, but in front of an expert like him, only a true expert could hide something.
No matter how well Miss Xu pretended, her breathing unconsciously became heavier when he said he was going to send her to the West Prison.
"Did Xu Qinglu have to wait until the people from the West Prison arrived before waking up?" Qu Moying asked with some interest. Xu Qinglu would wake up, but it was unexpected that she could wait until the people from the West Prison arrived. This was also very impressive. Did she originally think that Ji Hai could not really send her away, but in the end she found out that Ji Hai really dared to do so, so she had to wake up
This can be said to be holding on until the last moment. No wonder this person dared to do such a thing, thinking of rushing over to blackmail me, forcing me to let go, take the responsibility for her previous affairs, and let me stand up to help her plead with Madam Qu and become Qu Mingcheng's principal wife.
"Indeed, this Miss Xu seems to be much more capable than other ladies. She is truly a character, not only to others but also to herself." Ji Hai said.
Although Xu Qinglu's actions were not good enough for Ji Hai, among the young ladies from aristocratic families, she was considered ruthless and cruel to be able to do this, which was very different from her appearance.
"What did the imperial physician say?" Qu Moying already understood the meaning of Ji Hai's words.
"The imperial physician said that it was nothing serious, and that she would be fine as long as she woke up. The previous wound looked scary, but it was actually not serious, and she should not have bled so much. I asked someone to check it out, and there was such a large pool of blood, it was impossible that it all came from her wound."
Jihai Road.
Qu Moying understood and said with a smile: "Just tell the prince that there is this matter. If there is anything else, I will handle it myself. You don't have to worry about it. If Feng Yangbo comes to ask for someone, just notify me. I will go and investigate the matter now."
He just needs to report it to Pei Yuanjun. Xu Qinglu has long been part of Qu Moying's plan. Calculating the time, Lady Feng Yangbo will definitely ask Feng Yangbo to come forward. If he is slow, he will be passive. Now he just has to wait for Xu Qinglu to give in, and things will turn around.
Of course, she felt that the time was right now and Xu Qinglu had to give in even if she didn't want to.
"I understand." Ji Hai said. Seeing Qu Moying had already reached the entrance of the yard, he said, "I will report right away!"
"Sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Ji Hai." Qu Moying said.
"Your Majesty is too polite." Ji Hai said hurriedly. An Dong had been waiting in the corridor early, and when he saw Qu Moying coming, he ran down to greet her.
Qu Moying followed An Dong and went in.
Inside the house, Xu Qinglu leaned against
She was lying on the bed, looking very nervous. There was a maid beside her, who looked even more panicked than her. She collapsed on the bed. When she saw Qu Moying coming in, she covered her face with her hands in fear. Only when she saw clearly that it was Qu Moying did she put her hands down.
As soon as he saw the look on the master and servant's face, Qu Moying knew that this pair had just been greatly frightened by Ji Hai, and that he had come at the right time.
"Ms. Xu Qinglu, you and Qu Mingcheng were discovered having an affair yesterday, and now it happened in front of me again. What's going on?" Qu Moying asked slowly after looking Xu Qinglu up and down.
"Princess England, I don't know. I was in a trance at the time and I don't know how I collided with your carriage." Xu Qinglu's eyes turned red. Although she wanted to suppress her grievance, she couldn't do it.
"If this is really the only reason Miss Xu has, then I won't waste my time." Qu Moying looked at her deeply and said suddenly.
"Princess Ying..." Xu Qinglu was startled, but saw Qu Moying actually turned around and was about to leave, and became very anxious.
"Miss Xu, our princess is very busy. The Queen asked us to come here to investigate this matter just now, based on the fact that Miss Xu can tell the truth. If Miss Xu thinks that our Yingwang Mansion will really be deceived by you and threatened by others, then she is really wrong." An Dong was not in a hurry to follow her out. He looked at Xu Qinglu grimly from top to bottom. "If Miss Xu doesn't believe it, you can die again to see if our Yingwang Mansion will give in. Of course, it's okay if you don't die. Xiyu is waiting for Miss Xu."
With the title of "assassin" pressed, Xu Qinglu had to leave. Even if Feng Yangbo came, the title of assassin was not enough for him to save Xu Qinglu immediately. He had to investigate and interrogate him to confirm his innocence, right? Before, Eunuch Ji Hai had already told Xu Qinglu the process of investigating the "assassin" incident.
It also made Xu Qinglu realize that if fainting was useful, what was the point of the Western Prison
With all these as a cushion, Xu Qinglu was actually at the end of his rope, and all he needed to do was to break through a layer of window paper with one last powerful push...
If you use less force, it will take some time to recover because of some rebound, but if you pierce it directly with enough force, it will break immediately...
"An Dong, you can go now. Let Eunuch Ji Hai come and send them away!" Yu Xiu stopped and scolded An Dong in a low voice.
"Yes, let's go now." An Dong nodded and was about to leave.
Eunuch Ji Hai? Thinking of that eunuch who looked scary and seemed to have the hell in his eyes, Xu Qinglu's face turned even paler and sweat began to form on her forehead. She was really afraid of this Eunuch Ji Hai.
"Princess Ying, I... I have something to say." She said anxiously, fearing that Qu Moying would go out and never come back.
"If you're still making the same excuses as before, then there's nothing more to say." Qu Moying said calmly, without even turning his head, he continued to move forward, and was about to reach the door.
“Princess Ying, this matter… I am helpless, I… I have no choice.” Even if Xu Qinglu was willing to be a little crueler to herself, she didn’t dare to let herself die here.
If she died, there would really be nothing left. How could she really do that
If you risk everything, you also think there is a great chance that everything will be alright. How can you really disregard your life
"Miss Xu, are you willing to tell the truth?" Qu Moying turned his head slowly, but did not approach immediately. "The pool of blood on the ground is a little too big, and it is not all Miss Xu's blood. If Miss Xu really shed such a large pool of blood, she would not be able to wake up now and could not come to me.
After saying so much here, Miss Xu, did you bring a blood bag with you when you went out today?"
"I... I..." Xu Qinglu wanted to explain anxiously. She knew that things were going to get bad when she was forced to wake up. Originally, she had to wait for Qu Moying to let go before she could wake up. "I... I was also determined to die at that time. I didn't mean to hurt Princess Ying on purpose."
What Qu Moying said made sense, so she had to admit it, and she couldn't pretend to be unconscious.
"Are you seeking death?" Qu Moying walked forward slowly.
Xu Qinglu's face was filled with despair, tears fell down, and she cried, "I... I really wanted to die at that time. I don't know... I don't know why I rushed out when I saw the carriage. I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to be the British princess's carriage. I... I really don't know."
"I don't know why what happened yesterday happened. I didn't sleep all night. When I got up today and went out with my maid, I suddenly felt that I had no thoughts in life, and then... I suddenly had the thought of death, and I rushed out all of a sudden. After that, I... I don't know anything about it."
She didn't dare to put all the blame on Qu Moying, nor did she dare to expose Liu Jingyu, so she could only take the blame herself.
"Miss Xu, are you saying this matter... has nothing to do with me?" Qu Moying laughed, with a bit of coldness, but it didn't make people feel happy. "I won't care about what's going on between Miss Xu and Qu Mingcheng, but don't involve me in this matter. As for who Qu Mingcheng marries or doesn't marry, it's his own business."
"It has nothing to do with the Queen of England. It's all my own fault." Xu Qinglu burst into tears, blaming herself for thinking this was a good idea at the time.
This was the first time she doubted Liu Jingyu. What was so good about the Crown Princess's scheme? What was the use of it? Not only was it useless, it also offended the Princess of England. If she had begged the Princess of England in a nice way at that time, would her marriage with Qu Mingcheng have been successful
Didn’t you hear the British princess say that she doesn’t care who Qu Mingcheng marries or what Qu Mingcheng is like!
If she had known what would happen, she would not have taken such a risk. She would have just asked her aunt to put aside her pride and bring her here to ask for mercy from the Princess of England...
"Ms. Xu, are you feeling unwell?" Qu Moying looked at Xu Qinglu who was breaking down and crying, and his expression softened.
"I... I'm fine, it just hurts... I just need to take care of it..." Xu Qinglu cried and wiped her tears, and the maid beside her also burst into tears.
Neither the master nor the servant had expected to receive such treatment upon entering the British palace.
"I hope the princess will send me back to the Fengyang Marquis' Mansion." Xu Qinglu now only wanted to go back and did not dare to think about getting any promises from Qu Moying. This Princess of England was really contrary to her gentle appearance. Her behavior was not much different from the legendary King of England.
"In that case, I will send Miss Xu back. I just wonder if Miss Xu can still hold on?" Qu Moying asked again.
Xu Qinglu nodded repeatedly. She wanted to go back. She only wanted to go back now.
"Ask the imperial physician to come and take a look. If Miss Xu is really fine, send her back home." Qu Moying ordered, then glanced at Xu Qinglu and said meaningfully, "Miss Xu, go back and think about this matter again. Is there anyone trying to frame you? My carriage is going to the East Palace today at the invitation of the Crown Princess. This is the only way to go. Miss Xu, don't you know too much!"
With just one sentence, Xu Qinglu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar...
