"I don't think it's important. It's important to make the emperor feel that." Pei Yuanjun said lightly, his voice a little cold, "I heard that the prince is about to come to the capital."
"You mean... Will the Queen intervene in this matter?" Qu Moying thought for a moment and raised his head to ask.
In the night, her eyes were like water, clear and yet a little sparkling.
"She finally found such an opportunity, how could she let it go?" Pei Yuanjun's faint voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm. He stopped and tucked a strand of her hair that was blowing behind her ear.
"Then... will you be in danger?" Qu Moying immediately thought of Pei Yuanjun, "If my business interferes with yours, you must tell me."
"I'm fine!" Pei Yuanjun smiled, pulling Qu Moying forward, "No matter what you did, what belongs to me is mine, why should I avoid it?"
"That prince... will die?" Qu Moying bit her lip and frowned slightly. The situation was more complicated than she had imagined.
What she wanted was actually simple, but the current situation was not just what she saw. She could vaguely feel that there were more than one storm beneath the calm.
"That depends on him." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently, "If he wants to live, he can live. If he wants to die, then it's not anyone else's fault."
This statement was made casually, yet it contained many mysteries.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Qu Moying asked after sampling it.
"No need... I'll take care of those things, just take care of your health." Pei Yuanjun smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her brows, "You are so young, why are you frowning? If you want to do your own things, do it yourself. If you don't want to, then I will take care of it."
"My business... is fine." Qu Moying knew that he was worried about her, so her eyebrows relaxed, her smile blossomed, and her voice was relaxed, "I'm just afraid that it will implicate you."
She had big ambitions. Although she knew that Pei Yuanjun and Pei Luoan would clash sooner or later, this might not be the right time as she thought.
"No!" Pei Yuanjun said affirmatively, "You can do whatever you want. Even if you expose this, I will cover it for you."
It was windy tonight, and the moonlight was enchanting. Pei Yuanjun glanced at Qu Moying and could see that she was still a little uneasy. He gently squeezed Qu Moying's slender hand with his slender big hand: "Don't worry too much. Many things have been waiting for too long. What you do will not only not hinder this king, but also benefit me?"
"Beneficial?" Qu Moying didn't understand what this meant for a moment.
"Of course it is beneficial. The Crown Prince has always boasted of his deep affection for the former Crown Princess. If the people knew that the Crown Prince's so-called deep affection was always fake and that the Crown Princess even died at his hands, how could he sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Prince? This is true for the Crown Prince and the Queen as well."
Pei Yuanjun gave her a few simple pointers.
"Does that mean... Prince Jing is awake?" Qu Moying thought about it but still felt uneasy.
The Empress certainly had no good intentions, and the same was true for Concubine He. The Empress had interfered in the affairs of the palace, and so did Concubine He.
"Do you know the play script outside?" Pei Yuanjun asked.
Qu Moying understood immediately, "What is the play script called Two Lives?"
How could she not know about such a play script? She had been following the matter of this play script. Someone had banned this book before, and it seemed like it was for the Eastern Palace.
But what is the reality? The play script is not just referring to Donggong Pei Luoan.
"It has been presented to the emperor. He was furious and said that this matter was suspected of defaming the Eastern Palace, and had the book banned." Pei Yuanjun said in a cold voice, "Until now, the emperor is still covering up the matter of the mother and son, and wants people to think that Concubine He is innocent. Unfortunately, the script has already been spread."
"It spread out?" Qu Moying didn't understand for a moment, and her raised face was confused. Was this what she thought it meant
"It has indeed spread. Coincidentally, Northern Frontier got a few copies. The Second Prince of Northern Frontier has been very busy recently, collecting various events... Preparing for a good negotiation with the Great Zhou?" Pei Yuanjun said.
"Then peace talks... won't work?" Qu Moying asked in surprise. The second prince of the Northern Frontier had come with bad intentions to begin with, and talking about peace talks seemed more like he was here to stir up trouble.
Not only were there people coming in the open, but there were also people coming in secretly. Qu Moying was still very uneasy about the matter of Miss Tong. Thinking that the letter in his father's hand might be the correspondence between him and Miss Tong, Qu Moying became very wary of the Second Prince.
This time, there is not only ill will towards the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also clear ill will towards the British Palace.
"Whether it will succeed or not is not something the Second Prince can decide." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
Qu Moying paused for a moment, then realized: "Has the prince of Northern Frontier been found?"
"Not yet... but it should be soon." Pei Yuanjun said lazily, his voice was slightly warm, but the smile on his face did not reach his eyes, "There are too many people plotting, but there is only one thing. The bloody storm at the beginning was not long ago, and now it's a new round... In this new cycle, no one can sit still."
Qu Moying was startled: "The Northern Frontier Crown Prince will show up on his own?"
"The game has been set up, but it depends on who can win. This is true for the Great Zhou and the Northern Frontier as well." Pei Yuanjun chuckled.
I looked up at the sky. The moon was hanging high in the sky, with light clouds surrounding it. The moonlight reflected by it sometimes disappeared, and sometimes hung clearly in the sky again.
The two of them walked forward slowly hand in hand, the night was like water, leaning on the two of them, making people feel that this pair of perfect couples were like people in a painting...
Qu Luqin didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. Although she secretly ate some of the cakes and pastries she brought with her, she didn't use much after all. She couldn't hold on until the second half of the night.
She originally thought that someone would come to ask, but in the end, no one came after she finished the worship.
Fortunately, she was not completely without gain. From afar, she saw the main courtyard brightly lit and voices could be heard from time to time. The voices only stopped shortly before she returned.
She was standing higher and farther away, and when she looked over, she saw the imperial physician and the maid running out in a hurry, which showed that Qu Moying's condition was not very good.
Tomorrow... the people sent by my grandmother should come...
Tomorrow... She can also go over and talk...
Nothing happened that night. Qu Luqin got up early the next morning. After her maid helped her to wash and dress, she came over.
The main courtyard was very quiet. The maids and old women were all moving very quietly. There was no trace of the bustle of last night. Today seemed to be the same as before.
However, both the maids and the old women had sad looks on their faces. Not only did they not dare to speak loudly, no one dared to smile either. The atmosphere in the whole yard was much heavier than yesterday.
Qu Luqin clearly sensed this subtle change.
Yuxiu came out and bowed to her when she saw her: "Miss Luqin."
It's only been one day since I last saw her, but Yuxiu's face has become much paler, as if she didn't sleep well. She doesn't look very energetic, but she's still holding on.
"Is Princess Ying okay?" Qu Luqin walked inside.
Yuxiu pulled her down and said, "Miss Luqin, you should go to the side room to rest first. The prince's people are still here. The princess was not feeling well last night."
There is no need to make a fuss if someone has been ill for a long time and is still feeling unwell, unless the condition is very serious this time.
Qu Luqin once again confirmed that the medicine she had taken before had worked, and a smile involuntarily slipped across the corners of her lips.
After looking at the sky outside, it was indeed still early, so he did not force it and went to a side room to wait for Qu Moying to get up and have the medicinal food.
I'm afraid I may be awake even less this time. I just hope that people from my grandmother's side can come soon and don't ruin my big plan.
It would be best if Qu Moying could say that he wanted to stay.
After all, it was she who said it, and seeing that she looked dying, even if the King of England had a heart of stone, he would definitely agree to it.
As long as she has the chance to meet the King of England, Qu Luqin believes that she will go further than Qu Moying in the future and will be more likely to win the King's heart.
She didn't dare to approach him so actively again, so she put all her hopes on Qu Moying.
In order to leave an impression of being well-behaved and polite in front of the King of England, Qu Luqin did not let the maidservants around her go to inquire about the news, and waited obediently in a room on the side.
She had already inquired this morning and found out that the King of England did not go home yesterday and stayed in the manor, but he did not live in Qu Moying's courtyard, but in another main courtyard.
Whether I leave or stay today, it would be reasonable for me to come and take a look at Qu Moying.
If Qu Moying is really in trouble, the King of England will not really ignore her, right
No matter what, she could only wait obediently by the side, waiting for Qu Moying to wake up and see her...
After waiting for a long time, the sky outside had turned white and it was bright, but it was still quiet outside, as if Qu Moying in the main house had not responded yet.
There was no other movement, which meant that the King of England did not come either. But why wouldn't he come? The sun was already high outside. Even if he didn't care, he would always come and ask about the King of England's wife looking at her like this, right
But there was no movement at all. If it weren't for the occasional sound of things being placed outside, Qu Luqin would have thought that this was a deserted yard, and there was no one inside...
The silence is disturbing...
Qu Moying didn't wake up, or couldn't wake up? If she couldn't wake up, Yuxiu's maid would be very important. After losing her master, this maid should be timid, right? If I show my kindness to her at this time, she should understand what I mean and stand on my side
Finally, a little maid came over and said, "Miss Luqin, our princess invites you to come over."
Qu Luqin stood up, moved her stiff body, and winked at the maid. The maid stopped the little maid who was about to leave and stuffed a purse into her: "Is there anyone else who wants to see the Princess of England?"
