"Mrs. Ji's leg hasn't fully healed yet." Liu Jingyu refused.
"Mrs. Ji's leg injury is so serious? Is it possible that the imperial physician cannot cure it? Should we send the famous doctor in our mansion to take a look at Madam Ji's leg injury? It was after this famous doctor examined my eye disease that I had my eyes removed. I have been doing better ever since." Qu Moying asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal. The imperial physician has examined her and is treating her well. She just needs to take good care of herself for a while. Madam Ji's behavior was irrational before, as if..." Liu Jingyu frowned, "Maybe she really bumped into something."
This is an explanation for Ji Youran's behavior.
Ji Youran is from the Prince's Eastern Palace, and some of the previous events were related to Qu Moying. Since Qu Moying asked about it, the Eastern Palace had to give an explanation.
Qu Moying accepted Liu Jingyu's excuses and explanations, but she lamented that Ji Youran really needed a good warning. Of course, she understood that Liu Jingyu would never send Ji Youran to Prince Ying's Palace, but she could make Liu Jingyu feel a sense of urgency, so what she said was just a hint to the point.
Liu Jingyu expressed his concern for Qu Moying a few more times, and specifically mentioned the Queen's apology for what happened before. Of course, she came here today not just for herself.
Because of Qu Moying's incident, the Queen Mother was reprimanded and even had to share the power of management with Concubine He.
Just for this reason, the Queen Mother felt that there were many crises. Although Concubine He had enjoyed the reputation of being a favorite concubine before, she was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the inner palace. Now, Concubine He was given a legitimate reason to intervene, which made the Prince's lineage nervous.
A lot of gifts were sent, not only those prepared by Liu Jingyu, but also gifts from the Queen Mother.
On the surface, it seemed that the Queen Mother had no selfish motives in that matter, and there was no need for her to explain too much to Qu Moying. It seemed that it was her duty. If she had directly sent someone to give gifts, it would have seemed that she was guilty. But letting Liu Jingyu bring the gifts seemed to have more affection, and it did not seem that she was guilty.
Qu Moying accepted the goodwill from the Queen and Liu Jingyu with a smile.
Not long after Liu Jingyu left, someone reported that Princess Jing was coming to visit.
Liu Lanxin came in and also brought a gift from Concubine He. This matter was beneficial to Concubine He, and Concubine He was also very happy. She also had her reasons for not being able to show up, so she asked Liu Lanxin to send the gift over.
The two of them also had a very pleasant conversation.
Afterwards, Liu Lanxin left the Princess of England. After the carriage left the Prince of England's Palace, it did not rush back to the palace. After taking a circle outside, it stopped outside a teahouse.
He got off the carriage with the help of the maid and entered the private room that had been booked in advance. After sitting inside for a while, a maid knocked on the door.
Haihua went forward to open the door, and when she saw the old woman, she immediately stepped aside. After the old woman came in, she bowed to Liu Lanxin.
Liu Lanxin waved her hand: "Where does your sister live? Do you want to live in Prince Jing's mansion first?"
"Don't worry, Princess. The place where the young lady lives is very safe. Nothing will happen. The young lady said she didn't want to live in Prince Jing's mansion. There are too many people in the mansion, and it's not very convenient."
Liu Lanxin glanced at the old woman and asked, "Did my sister really say that?"
"That's exactly what the lady said, the princess doesn't have to pay attention to us
The young lady's affairs should remain the same as they were before, otherwise people will be suspicious." The old woman said with a smile.
"Can this...really work?" Liu Lanxin frowned. She didn't like this matter from the bottom of her heart. She even felt that the sister who once taught her had changed beyond recognition.
What kind of mentality did she have when she gave me advice when I expressed my love for Pei Yuanjun? At that time, I really asked this sister for advice wholeheartedly, and at that time, I didn't even know the true identity of this sister who taught me.
Now that I know this, I just feel disgusted and uncomfortable.
Why can she do it when I can't
I persisted for so many years, of course, because I refused to admit defeat, but also because of this sister's advice, I was sure of Pei Yuanjun, and I felt that Pei Yuanjun had a good chance... Although I have failed now, why was it my sister who did it? I felt suppressed and betrayed.
But she is now the Princess of Jing, and she is indeed not qualified to interfere in Pei Yuanjun's affairs, and this was arranged by her father.
Thinking of the letter her father sent her that day, Liu Lanxin felt more and more uncomfortable.
"What do you mean, sister?" She said with a bit of annoyance, "The King of England is already married, and I don't think he would be in love with anyone or miss anyone."
Until now, Liu Lanxin didn't think that Pei Yuanjun married Qu Moying because Qu Moying had this person and liked Qu Moying. Pei Yuanjun's character was cold-hearted and ruthless. Women were nothing in his eyes. Otherwise, what would her love for him for so many years mean
She didn't believe that she was not as good as Qu Moying. The only thing she lacked was luck. It was because of bad luck that she lost her position as Princess of England.
"Don't worry, your majesty. The King of England has not married for so many years because of our young lady. Our young lady was able to escape from the capital because of His Royal Highness the King of England. Have you ever heard of a woman for whom the King of England would do this?" The old woman said with a smile, but then she noticed Liu Lanxin's displeasure and changed the subject to say pleasingly, "Don't worry, your majesty. Our young lady came to the capital this time to help you."
Liu Lanxin knew about this. Her father had already explained it all to her in the letter. She pursed her lips slightly and said nothing.
"Your Highness, our young lady has been protecting you for so many years. We originally thought that we would just live like this, but we didn't expect that things would change so drastically. Your Highness is now married to His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and the situation in the capital is so bad. If you can get the protection of the King of England, your future will be limitless. This is also the reason why our young lady secretly returned to the capital this time."
The old woman said with a smile.
After hearing this, the expression on Liu Lanxin's face relaxed a little, and then a faint smile appeared on her face. After all, she was now married to Pei Yusheng, and her interests were closely tied to those of Prince Jing's Mansion. Now when she thought of Pei Yuanjun, although she felt a little upset, she was still able to suppress it.
"Sister, do you really have a way to make the King of England give up the current Princess of England for her?" Liu Lanxin asked. She had just entered the King of England's Mansion and found that although Qu Moying's complexion was not very good, she was in good spirits. In addition, the news from the palace said that because of the matter of the Princess of England, even the Queen was reprimanded.
This matter was in Concubine He's favor, so Concubine He specially called her into the palace and gave her a lecture. Of course, her only purpose was to make her and Princess Ying
Get along well.
Thinking about how Qu Moying snatched away her most promising Pei Yuanjun from her hands, Liu Lanxin could hardly laugh. However, she still forced herself to say many nice things to Qu Moying. Thinking about it now, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, Princess. Our young lady doesn't want the position of Princess of England. Let someone take the position for now. One day... our young lady will soar to the sky." The old woman said proudly, looking complacent as if the position of Princess of England was within her grasp.
"Soar into the sky?" Liu Lanxin raised her eyebrows.
"I was wrong. I meant that after the princess consort rises to prominence, she will definitely ensure that our young lady will secure the position of the Princess of England in the future. But there is no rush now. As long as our young lady can get close to His Royal Highness the King of England, he will definitely be tempted and then move into the King of England's mansion. After that, he will make His Royal Highness the King of England stand on the side of His Royal Highness the King of Jing."
The old woman's words made Liu Lanxin slightly satisfied. She didn't need love for the time being. What she needed now was the opportunity to soar to the sky.
Pei Yuanjun's attitude has been wavering. Sometimes he seems to be leaning towards the Jingwang Mansion, but the next moment he might lean towards the Eastern Palace. No one can figure out what he is thinking, and he has always been arrogant and domineering. Just like this time, I heard that the Queen suffered so much because he was there at the time.
If anyone can really get his support, the future of the world will almost certainly be stable.
"Sister... are you so sure?" Liu Lanxin was naturally willing to accept such a prospect. If this was said before she came to Beijing, she might have believed it immediately. But now that she is in Beijing, she always feels that Pei Yuanjun now is different from Pei Yuanjun back then. Besides, even if he really had the intention back then, what about now
She didn't believe that Pei Yuanjun really had feelings for Qu Moying, and she also didn't want to believe that her sister could really control Pei Yuanjun.
People like Qu Moying, whom Pei Yuanjun didn't care much about, lived better and better lives with him. She even offended the Empress and Concubine He, and even ignored the Emperor. If she really cared about her sister at that time, wouldn't she have fought for her
Just letting the person go, under that situation, sounds very touching. If it was done by the Crown Prince or Prince Jing, Liu Lanxin felt that they must be deeply affectionate, otherwise they would not do such a thing that goes against the Emperor's wishes. But if this was done by Pei Yuanjun, Liu Lanxin really didn't think... how much could be touching!
She even had an indescribable feeling that maybe Pei Yuanjun felt that it didn't matter whether he saved his sister or not, or that sending her away would be good for him...
This feeling is very strange. I just can't explain it clearly. If someone like Qu Moying can't win Pei Yuanjun's heart, then my sister...is she too conceited
It has to be said that Liu Lanxin has been following Pei Yuanjun for many years and has some understanding of Pei Yuanjun. There are some things that the parties involved are not clear about, and outsiders cannot understand them with just a few words. Only she, who has stepped into the field, can actually see some of the tricks. This can be regarded as Liu Lanxin's progress.
But this feeling was based on a jealousy that she couldn't explain or comprehend. Even she herself found it unbelievable, and she couldn't come up with any other reason to make others believe it.
This invisible truth must continue to be buried...
