"Crown Princess, are you in charge of Concubine Ji's affairs?" Qu Moying ignored Ji Youran's smugness at the moment, raised her long eyelashes, and asked with a bit of coldness.
"Why would I be needed in the matter of Concubine Ji? The prince asked me to come here today to check on the health of the lady dowager of the Ling'an Marquis's mansion." Liu Jingyu did not respond and gently pushed the words out.
Ji Youran looks like a fool and may not be able to defeat Qu Moying. Liu Jingyu will not offend Qu Moying for the sake of Ji Youran.
Whether Ji Youran is good or bad, she came today anyway, and the prince's intention of asking her to come has been conveyed.
Liu Jingyu really didn't have much interest in a concubine whose appearance was ruined.
I heard that the effect of the medicine is not something that an ordinary doctor can cure. Ji Youran's face is basically ruined.
With such a face, wanting to win the favor of the prince is just a dream.
"Concubine Ji, you should talk about my cousin first, and then talk about Madam Ji. It's a coincidence that these two things happened one after the other." Qu Moying knew that Liu Jingyu would not take it, so she smiled coldly and stared at Ji Youran. A trace of bloodthirsty intent flashed across her eyes. The enemy was right in front of her, and she now had the ability to suppress it.
"Princess Ying, I don't understand what you mean!" Ji Youran glared at Liu Jingyu hatefully. With the veil on her, she was not afraid of Liu Jingyu finding out. Since Liu Jingyu didn't respond, she could only respond herself.
"Concubine Ji, if this matter was deliberately created by someone, then it is really too scheming. Not only did it harm Madam Ji's life, but it also gave rise to rumors that Madam Ji could not bear these rumors and hanged herself."
Qu Moying said again.
“Princess Ying, this... is naturally possible, but before it is verified, we can't just take it as the truth!” Ji Youran replied unnaturally.
"How do you think it's confirmed? Ji Youran, why don't you explain it to me in detail?" Qu Moying said in a cold voice.
"Princess Ying, is it because of the rumors that you have misunderstood me?" Ji Youran hated Qu Moying for not giving her the slightest bit of face and attacking her right away. Although she was prepared, she couldn't help but feel inexplicably resentful at this moment.
She is just a plaything of the King of England, but she really thinks of herself as the Princess of England, without even considering whether she has this blessing.
"I have no misunderstanding, I just want Concubine Ji to explain the rumors." Qu Moying said disapprovingly.
Suddenly, voices were heard at the gate. Ji Yongan came in with several elders of the Ji family. They stopped talking as soon as they entered the door and respectfully stepped forward to pay their respects to the Crown Princess, the Princess of England, and the Concubine Ji.
In the past, these people were unable to hold their own in front of Ji Youran, and now Ji Youran is also at a disadvantage in front of Liu Jingyu and Qu Moying.
Now everyone was together, and the elders also sat down together. Only then did they realize that the whole atmosphere was not right. Their concubine did not look well.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak.
No one can afford to offend the two people sitting in between. The Crown Princess is of noble status and will be even more noble in the future, but the King of England has the King behind him. Who dares to offend her
The teahouse became eerily quiet, giving off a somewhat unsettling feeling.
Qu Moying Now
He was in no hurry to speak. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and slowly put it down. He glanced at Liu Jingyu on the side and saw that she took the tea and tasted it slowly like him, as if it was a particularly good tea, but in fact it was just that.
"Princess Ying, I don't agree with what you just said." Ji Youran breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was gathered. There were some things she had to say in front of everyone. If no one heard it, and she said it again later, people would be suspicious.
Now everyone has arrived, which is just right.
Even if Qu Moying didn't bring up the topic, she would have to bring it up.
Her voice became sad and angry: "The late Crown Princess and I are cousins, real sisters. The late Crown Princess has been very kind to me. When I fell into the water when I was a child, it was the late Crown Princess who saved me. For the late Crown Princess, I am willing to sacrifice my life."
"When the former Crown Princess was seriously ill, I was asked to enter the Eastern Palace. I knew it was inappropriate, but later I thought that the former Crown Princess's health was the most important thing, so I didn't care about anything else. After packing a few clothes, I entered the Eastern Palace. The so-called reputation and so-called considerations were no longer important when the former Crown Princess was unwell."
"The Crown Princess was grateful for my friendship, but she knew she was powerless to change the situation, so she let me stay in the palace, and even left me a token of her love for me." Ji Youran said, revealing one of her wrists, on which she wore a sparkling blood-jade bracelet. The crimson jade and snow-white wrist immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"It's the Crown Princess's blood jade bracelet. She had it when Dayue married into the palace. It's the Crown Princess's favorite thing, and she was brought with her into the Eastern Palace when she married into the palace." An elder in the clan obviously knew about the blood jade bracelet and nodded.
"It is this blood jade bracelet. The elders should remember that this blood jade bracelet entered the Eastern Palace with the Crown Princess!" Ji Youran said proudly.
"Indeed it is." Because the blood jade bracelet is quite special, many people know about it.
"My two cousins and I are the closest sisters. Even if I die, I will never do anything to let the Crown Princess down. Because of the Crown Princess's wishes, I entered the Eastern Palace to take care of the Crown Princess at the time. However, because I entered the Eastern Palace and lived there for a while, there were some gossips."
Ji Youran's eyes turned red. "If I had known that the former Crown Princess would end up like this... I would never have obeyed her. Now I can only take care of His Royal Highness in the East Palace on behalf of the former Crown Princess."
Having said this, tears are already falling like rain, and I am so sad that I can't express myself.
Qu Moying didn't even raise her eyelids, her watery eyes fell on the teacup in front of her, looking at it as if she was listening but not listening.
A sneer flashed in Liu Jingyu's eyes. She was just a small concubine, but she said she would take care of the Crown Prince on behalf of Ji Hanyue. Where did she put herself
Ji Hanyue himself could not be deader, but now he has become Ji Youran's support.
"There is no need for Concubine Ji to be too sad. It's just a rumor. It's normal for Princess Ying to be suspicious. There are different opinions on such things. No one can explain it clearly at this moment. It's enough as long as the Crown Prince believes in you." Liu Jingyu smiled softly and comforted.
This matter requires more than just the Crown Prince to believe it. It has become like this, and now Madam Ji has been made like this. If Ji Youran does not have convincing evidence, her good days in the East Palace will be over.
"Princess Ying..." Ji Youran asked anxiously
Wiping tears, "I will prove to you..."
"What Concubine Ji said is unreasonable." Qu Moying sneered, raising her eyes, and behind her long, thick eyelashes was a cold look. "Concubine Ji does not need to prove anything to me, or anything about the Ling Anbo Mansion. I am here today just to be a witness. The Crown Princess invited me here. What I said just now was just what I asked on behalf of my cousin. As for the right and wrong, Concubine Ji should prove it to the Crown Princess."
She was unwilling to bear the charge of coercion, and it was still uncertain what would happen next. But it was certain that Ji Youran's life had come to an end...
Liu Jingyu had to step forward, "Concubine Ji, just prove it."
Ji Youran nodded. There was no way she could argue with Qu Moying at this time. She stretched out her other hand, which also had a blood jade bracelet on it.
Several elders present who knew about this could no longer sit still.
"This... How come there is another one? Doesn't the Crown Princess only have one?"
"There is another one that is not in the Third Miss's hand. Could it be that the Third Miss..." Could it be that the Third Miss has had an accident?"
"This... How is this possible..." Several elders started discussing.
This was exactly the effect Ji Youran wanted. Originally, she just took out a bracelet to prove herself, but after thinking about it, she still followed Xie Feng's advice. It was too utilitarian to just say that she had a good relationship with Ji Hanyue, so she had to drag Ji Yanyue into it. The relationship between the three sisters has always been the best, so it was normal for the bracelet to be in her hand.
I consider Ji Hanyue, Ji Hanyue considers me, Ji Yanyue listens to Ji Hanyue's opinions and is very close to me. With these words, no one will suspect that I want to harm Madam Ji, nor will they suspect that I have anything to do with the death of Ji Hanyue and Ji Yanyue.
Ji Youran still thinks this method is a good one as it can solve Ji Hanyue and Ji Yanyue’s problems at once.
Hiding the pride in his eyes, tears were about to fall again, but before he could open his eyes, tears fell, "This..."
"Concubine Ji, you are a concubine of the Eastern Palace. Before I left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince repeatedly told me that my behavior must not disrupt the rules of the Eastern Palace and that I must not let people look down on the Eastern Palace. If people think that everyone from the Eastern Palace is like this, His Royal Highness will be angry." Liu Jingyu interrupted Ji Youran indifferently when she was about to express her emotions. Bitch, it turns out that you have always treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still protects her at this time.
Ji Youran's emotions were interrupted, and her face turned pale and blue for a moment. She finally controlled her emotions and knew that she had been following etiquette. She was a concubine of the Eastern Palace, and she cried in grievance in front of so many people. She showed too much weakness. If the Crown Prince knew about it, he would indeed be angry.
She was shocked by Qu Moying just now, and knew that she was not as good as Qu Moying, so she naturally showed weakness in order to gain a more advantageous position. However, she did not expect that it was really inappropriate for a concubine like her to cry again and again in front of the elders of the Ji family.
She should be the high and mighty concubine of the Eastern Palace, not a helpless and looked down upon concubine.
"What the Crown Princess said is right!" He gritted his teeth and accepted Liu Jingyu's words. Although his eyes were still red, he did not cry anymore. The two bracelets appeared in front of everyone. "This pair of blood jade bracelets are now with me for a reason."
