Several eunuchs were standing in the room, and the one in front of them stole a glance at the King of England who was sitting in the middle.
The King of England was sitting on a large nanmu chair, looking somewhat lazy as he leaned against it. A hint of coldness appeared on his handsome face. Although the corners of his lips were slightly raised, making him look like he was smiling, in fact, it looked more like a sneer.
With somewhat dark brown eyes that looked almost black, without the slightest hint of a smile, the whole person gave people a feeling that made people feel cold at the back of their chests.
There is a suffocating silence.
Yes, there was no sound in the room. Even though there were eunuchs standing behind the King of England and guards standing on both sides, there was no sound at all.
The eunuch sent by the Queen was very perceptive. Although he was following the Queen's orders, the Queen's orders were greatly discounted when compared to the King of England when he was young, let alone now. If he bumped into him without any perceptiveness and acted self-righteously, he would be the one to die in the end.
If the King of England wants to punish him, the Queen cannot protect him.
The fact that he was able to climb to the position of chief steward beside the Queen shows that this eunuch is quite smart.
Those who are not smart and clever will either be in the cold palace or even lose their lives.
The way to survive in the palace has always been to become strong when facing the weak and become weak when facing the strong.
If he met other people, he might be able to show off his power as the Queen, but when he met the King of England, especially the King of England at this time, it was better for him to keep a low profile.
This is also the reason why, after the eunuch was brought in, before he saluted the King of England, he saw the eunuch standing behind the King of England made a "hush" gesture to him, and then he immediately dared not make a sound.
Just like the two rows of guards, they just stood there stupidly.
I still don’t know what happened. I can only hear the sounds coming from inside. Although the sounds from the inner room are not loud, I can still hear them because the outer room is too quiet.
He was sent by the Queen Mother to inquire whether the Princess of England was the daughter of Duke Yu, but now... was not a good time. Seeing the murderous look on the King of England's face, the eunuch thought it would be better to stand still and not use the Queen Mother's order as an excuse.
Suddenly a voice came from inside, scaring the eunuch so much that he shivered involuntarily.
He carefully moved his numb feet and listened attentively.
At this time, he could not say anything except listening.
In fact, it wasn't just him, everyone in the room was listening, and they seemed to be listening very attentively. If you didn't listen carefully, you would feel stiff and uncomfortable.
It would be better to listen carefully to what is happening inside and distract your mind.
What was the sound of breaking just now? The eunuch felt that the sound was very familiar, just like the sound of the Queen smashing porcelain in the past.
Is there a commotion in there
"You...what do you mean?"
Sure enough, an angry scream came from inside, which was much louder than the unclear female voice just now, and it was obvious that the person was extremely excited.
The eunuch also heard a few words just now and knew that the unclear voice belonged to the Princess of England. The voice was much louder now, and it could not hide the trembling and excitement.
The old woman's words were much clearer, and she sounded like a smart person, but... How could a small old woman have such great ability to dare to come here to anger Princess Ying, without even knowing where she was.
He was the Queen's eunuch and didn't dare to make a sound. How could a woman dare to interfere in the King of England's household affairs? She was expecting too much.
The eunuch secretly shook his head. Fortunately, this matter had little to do with him. He just listened...
"Princess, this is the only solution. If you really have something here, the entire Qu family will be in trouble. After a hundred years... I'm afraid no one will remember you. If Miss Luqin comes in, both the prince and the Qu family will remember your kindness. If Miss Luqin gives birth to a child, she can also give birth to the child in your name."
The old woman was still trying to persuade him, and perhaps because she had reached a crucial point, her voice unconsciously became louder.
It became clearer when I heard it outside.
The eunuch really felt that this old woman was ignorant. She knew who she was and who her master was? Not to mention her master, even the Queen did not dare to send people to the Prince of England's palace casually. The previous few times she sent people had no good ending. The Queen was also angry and complained to the Emperor.
But afterwards, this prince was still the same as before, and the emperor just reprimanded him a few words at most.
The rest is nothing.
If there was no other way, why would they have arranged maids for the British Princess who had not yet married into the British Palace? Sending palace maids to be maids for the British Princess was a way to give her dignity.
The Qu family is really good. They actually dared to send a woman directly to the King of England. From the sound of it, the son born by this woman in the future will be registered under the name of the King of England's princess. This is a legitimate son, right
The eunuch shuddered and quickly lowered his head, shrinking his body. At this moment, he would rather hear nothing.
No wonder there was a murderous aura in the room as soon as he entered. It was so eerie that he felt several degrees colder as soon as he came in. The Qu family is looking for death!
First it was the matter of Minister Qu, and now it’s the matter of the Qu family.
This Qu family really didn't treat the Princess of England as their own family. Even if they died, they still had to scrape some benefits from the Princess of England...
It really is more about money than life...
Even the Queen doesn't dare to do this, so how can the Qu family have the courage to do such a thing...
The Queen's eunuch sighed once more, feeling that he was almost taken out on by the Queen this time. If he had not reacted when he came in just now and had spoken, he might have lost his life at that time.
The guards on both sides are not there to be watched. They are filled with murderous aura. Could they have come from the West Prison
The eunuch was lost in thought, and suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly realized that he might really be able to survive this time.
"I...should I thank you again?" The voice of Princess Ying.
"Princess, you don't have to say that. The Qu family is a family no matter where we are. Miss Luqin is a kind person and will never forget you. You see, she has not eaten or slept for your health, and now she has even lost her marriage. It just so happens that you are not in good health now, so you need someone to take care of you."
The old woman hadn't reacted yet, she only saw Qu Moying's pale face. Qu Moying's face had always been so pale, but now it turned pale due to anger, and it looked no different from before.
At most the voice was a little louder, was it because he was excited
"Princess, this may sound hard for you to accept, but think about it, marriage is a union of two families. If you weren't a daughter of the Qu family, His Royal Highness the King of England wouldn't have married you. If something happens to you now, wouldn't the friendship between the two families be gone? Besides, this is also for your own good. If you...really...at least you have arranged for the people around you, so there will be people to worship you in the future, right?"
The old woman continued to persuade.
There was no one else in the room, so the old woman spoke freely.
Even though the two maids were angry, what they said made sense. If the Princess of England died, these two maids would basically not have a good life. The Princess of England who married in later would have nothing to do with them. If no one took care of them, who would still employ the two maids of the former Princess of England
In this case, this statement is also beneficial to the two maids.
"What if... I say no?" Qu Moying asked sternly.
"My Lady Princess... I am really doing this for your own good. How come you don't understand? If you don't believe me, ask the two maids beside you. They should understand, right? This was discussed by the old ladies of the entire Qu family. Miss Luqin is just the right person and has a good character. If she didn't have a good character, the old ladies wouldn't let her come."
The old woman continued to persuade.
Seeing that Qu Moying was so weak, the two maids just stood there blankly, as if they were dumbfounded. The old woman felt more and more that it was a good time to speak up. The two maids didn't help Princess Ying, leaving only the weak Princess Ying. What a waste.
Thinking this in his heart, his expression became more and more lenient: "Princess, you are not a child anymore, how can you be so willful? If it weren't for the Qu family, you wouldn't have your current status. The Qu family has raised you for so many years, you have to give an explanation, right? Miss Luqin is really good. You just need to tell His Royal Highness the King of England that you want Miss Luqin to enter the palace. Considering that you are so seriously ill, His Royal Highness the King of England will definitely agree."
"Because I'm so... seriously ill?" Qu Moying repeated in a low voice.
"Yes, you are already so sick, what else can you pray for? It's just to pray for an afterlife, for a safe and prosperous life in the underworld." The old woman said, and waved to Qu Luqin on the side, "Miss Luqin, come here, from now on you will be the concubine of the King of England. You must be devoted to the Princess and serve His Royal Highness the King of England well."
The old woman had made all the arrangements very clearly, and she didn't even take Qu Moying, the Princess of England, seriously.
She came here today to make this happen. She had to make Princess England give in no matter what. In the old woman's opinion, Qu Moying, Princess England, was about to die, so why didn't she seek benefits for the Qu family? What was she thinking
As the second old lady said, the British princess did not feel a strong sense of belonging to the Qu family and had to marry another daughter of the Qu family.
Qu Luqin walked forward with a weak look on her face, looked at the old woman, then looked at Qu Moying, with a confused look on her face, as if she really didn't know what this matter was, nor did she know what to do about it.
"Miss Luqin, please kneel down and offer tea to the princess while she is still conscious." The old woman pushed her and pressed her in front of Qu Moying's bed.
This was to force Qu Moying to admit the matter.
The old woman had calculated that the two maids had become disloyal after hearing what she had said, and that a seriously ill Princess of England was at her mercy. Now her true colors were exposed, and she no longer needed to hide her thoughts.
Qu Luqin knelt down, and the maid beside her hurried over to pour a cup of tea and handed it to Qu Luqin, saying in a low voice: "Miss, this is the will of the old lady of the entire Qu family, you should obey it!"
