"The Crown Princess is going to the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion?" Qu Moying was surprised at first, and then she smiled. Her soft eyes were filled with some gently rippling water waves, and her charm was as soft as silk, yet revealed a bit of cunning that made people dare not underestimate her. She was like a cat that had stolen some fish, and the eyes of Pei Yuanjun who had just walked in softened.
"That's what he said. The prince told me specifically." Pei Yuanjun stretched out his hand and pulled Qu Moying inside, saying.
The two men sat down on the couch. On the small table in the middle, Qu Moying was making tea. She picked up the teapot, elegantly gathered her sleeves, and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Pei Yuanjun.
"What's the purpose of the prince coming here specifically to tell the prince?" Qu Moying asked. She didn't think that Pei Luoan would say such things to Pei Yuanjun for no reason.
"They said that you were asked to go and listen in. If the Crown Princess did anything wrong, you should point it out. The main reason is that you and the Ji family are also relatives."
Pei Yuanjun took the tea, took a sip, and put it down.
Among the relatives of the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion, the one with the highest status now is Qu Moying. Although she is a relative of the eldest wife, Madam Ji has also acknowledged it herself, which means that Qu Moying is still a relative of the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion. With her status, if the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion has any major moves, she should indeed be notified.
What's more, Pei Yuanjun is Pei Luoan's uncle.
"What is the Crown Princess going to do? Is she going alone?" Almost instantly, Qu Moying understood the meaning of Pei Yuanjun's words. Seeing Pei Yuanjun's teacup fall, she picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked in the curling smoke.
The tea tastes light at first, but becomes very fragrant when you taste it again. "Bring Concubine Ji with you. It is said that Concubine Ji came to the Crown Princess to ask for help from the Crown Princess. Concubine Ji is not feeling well and it is not convenient for her to handle such matters."
The so-called kind of thing should be what is happening in Ling Anbo's Mansion now.
Pei Yuanjun originally didn't care about this kind of thing, but since Qu Moying was interested, he decided to intervene.
"Your Highness, do you think I should go?" Qu Moying put down the teacup, thought for a moment, and asked.
"If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. It doesn't matter to me." Pei Yuanjun understood what Qu Moying meant. He smiled and nodded. He reached out and poured himself a cup of tea. This time he didn't drink it in a hurry. He just tasted it slowly and put it down. "Whatever the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess wants to do, it will not affect me."
This gives Qu Moying a reassurance.
Qu Moying raised her watery eyes, with a hint of smile in them. She knew that he understood, and he must have had an idea when he said that.
"I want to go and take a look. I might get into some trouble." Qu Moying narrowed his eyes. "I always felt something was wrong with what happened back then. How could it be so coincidental? Why was it so coincidental? The eldest branch of the Ji Mansion is all dead. If the timing was more coincidental, I would be more certain."
There was a hint of sinisterness in her watery eyes, and a hint of blood...
The timing was actually very coincidental. Ji Hanyue and Ji Yongming both died that night, on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding. Yanyue also disappeared on the same day. Once this fact was revealed, everyone would know that there was something wrong and that there was something wrong with Crown Prince Pei Luoan.
But Pei Luoan happened to misplace the order in which these events happened.
He was the victim of the so-called assassination on the wedding day. Ji Hanyue was fine, but something happened to her suddenly.
, which was only natural. Even Pei Luoan almost got into trouble, not to mention the chaos on the wedding day. It was only natural that Ji Hanyue would get into trouble.
The younger daughter eloped with someone, and the older daughter lost her life. Ji Yongming was so ill that he couldn't bear it. Some of his old injuries recurred, and they all died one after another. It was not so difficult to accept.
The Eastern Palace staggered the time so that people would no longer doubt what happened. Pei Luoan kept the murder of the eldest branch of the Ji Mansion a secret.
If she hadn't been reborn, who else in this world would know the truth of this matter.
Death is in vain, and now love is her only obsession. She will definitely avenge herself, the revenge of her father's murder and the hatred of her family's destruction...
My hand was held by a big hand, which then pulled it and caressed it gently.
There was a faint warmth coming from her hands, soothing her cold heart, and her tense expression slowly relaxed.
"What will you find out?" Pei Yuanjun asked gently while comforting Qu Moying.
"Maybe we can find out something. My cousin... wants to be seen alive..." She didn't say the last sentence. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt that her sister was fine and she was still alive.
"Since you want to investigate, then investigate thoroughly. No matter what the prince wants to stir up, if you don't like what you see, just take action. I will take care of whatever goes on." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently. This smile also gave Qu Moying a sense of confidence. It was not just the temperature of his hands that made his heart warm.
"I know that something might happen tomorrow... Concubine Ji is not a good person." Qu Moying decided to say more. There were some things she didn't want to say, and she didn't dare to say them. Moreover, this kind of thing was also what Fei Yi was thinking, and she didn't know where to start.
"It's not good to be the same as Concubine He." Pei Yuanjun sneered, "The two examples are indeed similar. You don't have to worry about this matter attracting Concubine He's attention. Even if you don't attract her attention, she will plot against you."
These words dispelled Qu Moying's last bit of hesitation, and her cherry lips curled up slightly, "Okay, I know, tomorrow will make Concubine Ji unlucky. She stole a bracelet from me, but gave me a broken one back then. It was the dowry my grandmother gave to my mother and aunt. It was the same set, but there was a slight difference. Others don't know this difference."
What she wanted to do was to give Pei Yuanjun a heads up first. With his intelligence, he should understand what she meant. The two of them were now husband and wife, and they were of one mind.
"I understand. No matter what you do, I'm here. There's no problem." Pei Yuanjun's smile was as elegant as ever, revealing a bit of dignity like mountains and flowing water, as if he was a truly carefree wanderer who didn't care about worldly affairs. However, in his handsome eyes, there was calmness and indifference that Qu Moying could understand, as well as a hint of doting.
It seemed as if he would condone whatever Qu Moying did...
"Your Highness, what does the King of England say?" On the other side, in the main room, the couple were also discussing. Compared with Qu Moying, Liu Jingyu's expression was a little more uneasy.
"Uncle Wang said he would see what Princess Ying thinks. If she wants to go, she can go. If she doesn't want to go, she won't come." Pei Luoan also frowned.
Compared with the leisurely and peaceful feeling of the British princess, the brows of this couple were both furrowed, and it was obvious that both of them were very uneasy.
"Princess Ying doesn't want to go?" Liu Jingyu grasped this word sharply.
"Not necessarily. That's just saying. Uncle Wang didn't agree to this on behalf of Princess Ying." Pei Luoan waved his hand. "You don't have to care about Princess Ying. Even if she is an elder, she is only Princess Ying. You are the Crown Princess, so why do you have to care about her so much? Even if she goes, you just need to respect her a little."
Pei Luoan didn't think Qu Moying had any big role to play. He didn't understand why Liu Jingyu asked him to ask Pei Yuanjun so cautiously.
"Princess Ying... I think... it's very unusual." Liu Jingyu hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth. She had almost no special staff around her now, and there were some things outside the palace that she couldn't investigate even if she wanted to. Of course, she didn't dare to deal with Ji Youran secretly.
If I need more help, I have to ask my mother for it secretly. I don’t know if my mother has any help from outside who can be used.
"What's so special about her?" Pei Luoan looked at her and asked back.
"That's what I think. Don't you think she's weird?" Liu Jingyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "According to rumors, the Princess of England has eye problems, is not very pretty, and doesn't like to socialize with people. She has locked herself up in a farm outside the city, as if she were dying of old age there."
"But later, she returned to the capital, and it was as if she had become a different person. At that time, she... became different. After that, the Qu Mansion had constant troubles. Yu, who was originally the head of the Qu Mansion, was found to have killed the birth mother of Princess Ying. Miss Qu San hurriedly entered the Jing Palace, and even Minister Qu's only child was no longer favored."
Liu Jingyu said as he recalled.
If it weren't for the fact that Qu Moying had become different, he would have failed at her hands a long time ago. Until now, Liu Jingyu still didn't understand what went wrong. Why did Qu Moying become so different, as if he had become a different person? Was Qu Moying always so powerful, or was there something else mysterious
"What do you want to say?" Pei Luoan glanced at her and asked in an ambiguous tone.
"I feel...is there something wrong here? Has the Princess of England... been replaced?" Liu Jingyu's last few words were almost stuck in her throat, very softly and hesitantly. She actually didn't know how to explain it, but after fighting with Qu Moying several times, she felt this way.
If Qu Moying had been so powerful, he would not have been thrown into the manor, left unattended for so many years to fend for himself.
"Where did you get such talk? Could it be that there are some ghosts and mysteries? Uncle Wang has dragon veins in his body, and evil cannot prevail over good." Pei Luoan snorted coldly and said unhappily, "Don't talk about those rumors, they are all unbelievable. They all say that the Princess of England has no looks. If she has such a face, who else in the world has looks?"
When Pei Luoan spoke, he deliberately looked at Liu Jingyu's appearance. After looking at it, he smiled contemptuously, and everything was said without words.
Liu Jingyu's face flushed, feeling ashamed and annoyed, and the handkerchief between his fingers was almost torn. Qu Moying was a coquettish woman. What did the prince mean by saying that she was stunningly beautiful? Was it a pity? Did he feel that he was not as good-looking as Qu Moying? It was not just one of the statements, but it made Liu Jingyu jealous and annoyed.
But she had to suppress the jealousy in her heart and said softly, "Yes, Your Highness is right. I will go to the Ling Anbo Mansion tomorrow. No matter what Princess Ying says, I will go."
