The curtain was suddenly lifted, and someone rushed in, shouting, "What are you making a fuss about? Can't you see that the prince is here?"
Yuchun was in the front, but she reacted quickly. After stopping, she knelt down with a plop. "Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for the princess. The Qu family wants to force the princess to send another daughter of the Qu family to the palace."
"The Qu family wants to force the queen to death and endanger her life. Make room for Qu Luqin." Yuxiu also reacted at this time and knelt down.
Qu Luqin's face changed drastically, she shook her body twice, and could hardly believe her ears.
Behind the high door curtain, the handsome King of England walked in, but his smile made her feel eerie and cold.
No matter how handsome a person is, this kind of sinister smile can make people feel a sense of evil. Moreover, Pei Yuanjun has always had a reputation for being sinister, which makes Qu Luqin feel even more sinister and terrifying.
“Prince…Prince…” Qu Luqin took a step back and spoke hesitantly, no longer having the momentum she had before.
A eunuch came over and kicked Qu Luqin hard. Qu Luqin fell backwards, her body hitting a corner of the room like a broken doll, and she immediately fell down without breath.
He was kicked unconscious immediately.
As for the old woman, she was kneeling on the ground, trembling. She could never have imagined the current situation.
Didn’t Miss Luqin say that the King of England ignored the Queen of England, and that he came here just to take a look, and that they did not live with each other and did not care about the Queen of England? Then why did he come here at this time
How...how is it such a coincidence
"Come here, take this old slave who wanted to murder his master away and beat him to death. For the crime of murder, his entire family will be skinned alive and all nine generations of his clan will be exterminated." The eunuch's sinister voice was right beside my ears.
The only sound in the old woman's ears was the roar. She opened her mouth and burst into tears: "Your Highness... It was the old lady's idea, the old lady and Miss Luqin's idea. I... don't know... I don't know anything."
This kind of thing must also kill all nine generations of the family. If someone else said this, I would definitely not believe it, but if it was said by the King of England... I dare not disbelieve it.
She just coveted a few taels of silver, but didn't want her entire family to be implicated.
She is a woman, but she also has a family...
The doctor went over to treat Qu Moying. Pei Yuanjun sat down in front of the chair in the middle, and cast a cold gaze on the old woman. Such a strange gaze was as real as substance. The old woman trembled all over.
"Who asked you to come?" the eunuch asked sharply.
“Yes… it’s the old lady,… the second old lady of the Qu family, and several other old ladies… said… that the princess is no longer able to live, and we have to find another person… to enter the palace… in order to maintain the… friendship… friendship between the two families.” The old woman said what she meant.
I only regret that I didn’t have a few more mouths to explain things clearly.
"You two old ladies want to force our princess to death?" the eunuch asked with a sneer.
“I…I don’t know…I…I just followed your orders.” The old woman was sweating all over.
"That's the business of you, the evil slave?" The eunuch laughed.
“No… It’s not me, it’s the Second Old Madam. It was the Second Old Madam who wanted Miss Luqin to enter the palace, saying that Princess Ying and the Qu family are not close, and Miss Luqin… Miss is different… She is the Second Old Madam’s granddaughter. She was always obedient in the past, and this time she came here voluntarily…” The old woman just wanted to shirk responsibility, and stammered as she went along.
She didn't want to die, she didn't want her whole family to die of exhaustion, she still had her own children... and her own grandchildren...
Pei Yuanjun leaned back and closed his eyes slightly.
"Come here, send this old woman and the woman who plotted against the princess to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen." The eunuch understood.
Two guards came over and dragged the old woman and Qu Luqin away like dead dogs.
"This eunuch... I may have to trouble you again." The eunuch of the Prince of Ying's Palace said with a smile to the eunuch sent by the Queen.
In the eyes of another eunuch, this smile looked as vicious as his master. He knew that this was the King of England's personal eunuch, named Ji Hai. It was said that when he was in the palace, he followed the eunuchs who served the King of England.
Even though he is not very old, his qualifications are no less than his own. He is just an ordinary eunuch in the Pepper Palace, while this one is the chief steward of the King of England's Palace.
Immediately she smiled and said, "Eunuch Ji Hai, you go ahead."
"I'd like to trouble you, eunuch, to be a witness. I just happened to meet you. Otherwise, people would think that this was something that happened in the Prince of England's palace."
Ji Hai said with a smile.
But in a situation like this, no one would think that he was really laughing.
"This... our family... still has... still has errands." The eunuch in the Queen's Palace said with a smile.
"It will only take a short while. I'll just show up at the yamen. I won't trouble you for too long." Ji Hai smiled like a fox, with his eyes narrowed.
The eunuch looked at the King of England who had his eyes slightly closed, then looked at Ji Hai who was in charge of the affairs, and the guards on both sides, and felt that he should be more sensible.
If you encounter something like this, you can only consider yourself unlucky. This matter seems to be quite serious...
The Jingzhao Yin Yamen was wide open, and in a short while it was surrounded by three layers of people inside and three layers of people outside.
Some people arrived late and didn't know what was going on. They squeezed in and finally got in. They saw a kneeling old woman and another kneeling woman. They didn't look like maids but more like young ladies from some family. Their clothes were really unusual.
"What did this woman do wrong?" the one who squeezed in later asked the one in front.
"Have you heard that the British princess is ill?" The person in front was watching the show intently. When he heard someone ask, he didn't feel that he was crowded. He moved to the side and made some space for the person behind him, and then asked with great interest.
After watching such a big show, I have to find someone to talk about it, especially someone who can give a live commentary. It would be more interesting. This person has watched it all the way through and feels that he has a clear understanding of the cause and effect.
"I know, I know. She was mad at Minister Qu. Minister Qu was obsessed with seeking an official position, and the Princess of England's father was seriously ill." The people who squeezed in nodded repeatedly.
Many people made up stories about this incident, saying all kinds of things. Although they didn't dare to gossip about the British palace openly, they did say a lot of things in private.
Quite a few people know about this.
"The two inside... one is a woman from the Qu family, and the other is a young lady from the Qu family." The person in front stretched out his hand and pointed inside.
The people who squeezed in immediately understood: "Are you going to force the British princess again?"
"That's right! The Qu family is really cruel and ruthless. This time they are not just forcing Princess Ying, they are trying to kill her. They want her to give up her position to this lady from the Qu family." The man in front said indignantly. Even though he was just an outsider, he was so angry after hearing what the old woman said that he wanted to go up and slap the old woman twice.
As for the pitiful-looking young lady, she was actually vicious. It was heard that she had threatened the maids around Princess England before and almost forced the maid to death in order to conceal the fact that she had intended to force the Princess England to death.
The person who squeezed in later gasped: "How dare they... "
"That's right. I don't know what made the Qu family so bold to do such a thing. They don't even know who they are. They dare to arrange people for His Royal Highness the King of England. Aren't they afraid of how they will die?"
The person in front nodded, looked around, and then leaned over to the ear of the person who squeezed in from the back and whispered, "I heard that the people sent by His Royal Highness the King of England and the Queen happened to be outside at the time... and listened carefully. They wanted the seriously ill Princess of England to agree to let this young lady in, and they also said it was Princess of England's intention. This... does it sound familiar to you?"
Familiar! More than one person felt familiar.
The people present were there to watch the fun. Some of them had followed from the Prince of England's palace and followed the guards who escorted people into the yamen. Some others just happened to be here. As the news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, more and more people came.
At first, everyone thought that the evil slave was hateful and the woman who pretended to be weak was vicious for actually thinking of such an idea to enter the British palace.
If she really angered the Princess of England to death this time, she could enter the Prince of England's palace with a good reputation. Others would only think that she entered the palace to take care of the Princess of England's health, and stayed in the Prince of England's palace because of the Princess of England's will. Anyway, the Princess of England is dead, and the maids around her are probably dead, and those who are not dead will become hers. Who will expose her lies...
But the more we listen, the more familiar it feels, and the more we listen, the more we feel that there is something wrong here...
Isn't this a reappearance of the incident involving the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace
Thanks to the script of the play Rebirth, although the play has been banned now, many people who were promoting it at that time and who usually don’t like to gossip know about it. And the seemingly plausible words in the play, isn’t it about a pair of sisters
Although it was the harem, everyone thought it was related to both the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace.
Now, when comparing the two, the first one to be compared is the Eastern Palace.
It was almost a replay of the incident, but what everyone saw at the time was just that the concubine Ji, who had an extremely good reputation, entered the Eastern Palace. It was said that this was what the Crown Princess had been asking for before she fell ill, but the problem was that the Crown Princess died afterwards, and it was said that one of her maids also died.
This matter... How come it is so like...
"Eastern Palace?" The one who squeezed in understood immediately, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Eastern Palace, then widened his eyes in horror, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the lobby, and then pointed in the direction of the Eastern Palace, and then stammered: "This...concubine...the concubine with the surname Ji..."
Ji Youran's reputation is now completely ruined. Everyone knows that she had a hidden agenda when she entered the Eastern Palace. Her intentions were extremely vicious, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only tolerated her for the sake of the Crown Princess.
But what if... the story about the Crown Princess letting her enter the Eastern Palace was also false? What if she killed the Crown Princess
Did the prince know about it or not? If he didn't know, he was really useless as a prince, not even knowing the death of the crown princess, but still treating a poisonous snake as his bedmate; if he knew about it, then this matter... is a big deal...
