"The daughter of the Qu family?" Liu Jingyu was shocked, with a blank look on his face.
“The Crown Princess must be aware of the matter regarding the Qu family’s daughter.” The Queen’s face was solemn, her eyes fixed on Liu Jingyu in front of her.
Liu Jingyu was so frightened that she stood up on the spot, holding the corner of the table with her hand to suppress the fear in her heart. How did the Queen know about this? How could the Queen know
Not only did he have his own manpower, his mother also helped him.
"Mother... Mother... I don't know what you are talking about." Liu Jingyu suppressed her panic and raised her head with a slightly pale face.
"You're not saying you don't know about the Qu clan's daughter, are you? The only person present at the incident between Lady Yuguo and Princess Ying that day was me... and you." The Queen sneered and said unceremoniously, "Except for the Crown Princess, no one else knows about the relationship between Lady Yuguo and Princess Ying."
"Mother... I know about this..." Liu Jingyu said.
"If you know, why do you say it has nothing to do with you? Crown Princess... I know that you and Princess Ying have always been at odds. Not only you, but also your biological mother, are prejudiced against Princess Ying. If Princess Ying is really the legitimate daughter of Lady Yuguo, her status is far higher than yours."
The Queen spoke slowly, her eyes never leaving Liu Jingyu's face.
Although the fear that flashed across Liu Jingyu's face just now was short, she still saw it clearly. After fighting in this palace and finally sitting on the position of Queen, how could the Queen be simple
Regardless of whether today's incident was right or wrong, the Queen had already decided to put the blame on Liu Jingyu.
Even if it has nothing to do with Liu Jingyu, it must be related now. Besides, it seems that Liu Jingyu is definitely not innocent.
"Mother..." Liu Jingyu's eyes were red, and he wanted to explain.
"Well, I don't want to hear more about what happened to you. The grudges between you and your daughter and the Princess of England are all in the past. Even if you are still at odds, it is all in the past now." The Queen said generously, but before Liu Jingyu could put his mind at ease, she said coldly, "But this matter involves the East Palace, which is not acceptable."
Liu Jingyu's face changed drastically. The Queen's words were full of threats, and she understood them.
What on earth was going on? Liu Jingyu had a bad feeling in his heart and looked at the Queen Mother. Since the Queen Mother said so, something must have happened.
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the Queen say, "Do you think I am exaggerating? Don't you know that something happened in the Prince of England's Palace?"
"What...what's the matter?" Liu Jingyu already had a bad feeling, bit her lip and asked.
She was originally going to pretend to be extremely aggrieved, but now her feelings were shattered by the Queen's words. It was impossible for her not to care about that matter.
I just think it's impossible to get news so soon.
"The daughter of the Qu family forced the Princess of England to agree to let the daughter of the Qu family enter the Prince of England's palace in the name of taking care of her. She almost forced a loyal maid to death. If the King of England hadn't arrived in time... I'm afraid this would have really happened!"
The Queen gritted her teeth and glared at Liu Jingyu with cold anger.
She didn't care about Qu Moying's matter. She only cared about the fact that this matter was so similar to Ji Hanyue's matter, which made people associate the matter with the matter of the Eastern Palace, and she guessed it right.
The Queen now only hated the culprit. After discovering that the culprit was Liu Jingyu, she became even angrier.
"This... How is it possible?" Liu Jingyu's body swayed and he almost fell down. How could things turn out like this? Such a thing happened in such a short time. Qu Luqin seemed to be a good person in the past, but she was so useless and was even discovered.
"How is it impossible? How can you think it's impossible? I heard that the Crown Princess has a private relationship with this girl from the Qu family." The Queen Mother exploded at her.
"Mother." Liu Jingyu could no longer stand and knelt down with a plop. She denied it flatly, "I have never had any direct contact with other daughters of the Qu family."
How could someone of Qu Luqin's status be qualified to interact with her directly? The most he could do was to send her maid. The two of them were in different circles, so even if they met occasionally, it was impossible for them to go forward to greet her. With Liu Jingyu's previous status, how could he be interested in someone like Qu Luqin
"If it's not you, then I can't be someone by your side?" The Queen snorted coldly.
Liu Jingyu didn't dare to refute this directly: "Mother... my daughter-in-law doesn't know."
"After you went back that day, did you tell the people around you about the Princess of England?" the Queen asked again.
"My daughter-in-law... My daughter-in-law only sighed a few times and didn't say much else. Mother... How could my daughter-in-law... How dare she do such a thing? My daughter-in-law is the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace and has no relationship with the Prince of England's Palace. What the Princess of England does has no impact on my daughter-in-law. Even if I treated the Princess of England badly before because of a misunderstanding, now everything has been made clear."
Liu Jingyu's tears fell and she sobbed.
"Have you reconciled with Princess Ying?" asked the Queen. Because this matter was originally related to the Duke of Qi's Mansion, she had specially investigated it at the time, but the result was not clear. It seemed that she thought it was caused by Liu Jingyu and Qu Moying.
The Queen Mother also knew that the Duke of Qi's Mansion had protected Qu Moying. Liu Jingyu was the Duke of Qi's most beloved granddaughter, but there was some discord between the two of them, which led to the Duke of Qi's Mansion and Liu Jingyu becoming estranged from each other.
The Queen Mother didn't understand some of the things in it, but she knew the overall cause of the matter, which was the relationship between Liu Jingyu and Qu Moying.
"Before I got married, I had already reconciled with Princess Ying. All the previous things were misunderstandings. It was my daughter-in-law who misunderstood Princess Ying and thought that Princess Ying..." Liu Jingyu bit her lip, knowing that she had to say it now. It was also a shame for her to talk about this matter. "My daughter-in-law thought that Princess Ying's biological mother and father... my father..."
Liu Jingyu couldn't say any more. How could she, as a daughter, have the nerve to continue talking about the most unbearable thing her father had done
Fortunately, the Queen understood and said in surprise: "Did you think the Princess of England was your father's daughter?"
"I thought it was true, but later found out it wasn't, so I apologized to Princess Ying." Liu Jingyu's face flushed and she lowered her head.
"No wonder..." The Queen suddenly realized. No wonder there were some things she couldn't understand.
"From now on, there will be no more hatred between me and Princess Ying. I will never harm Princess Ying, and I will not use the girls of the Qu family." Liu Jingyu said.
"If it's not you, then it must be someone around you. Go back and check. The matter has been reported to the Jingzhao Yin. The Jingzhao Yin is open to try the case, and this matter will soon be led to you." The Queen Mother did not believe it completely, but this was not the time to believe it or not.
That was not her intention.
"The people around me?" Liu Jingyu asked anxiously, "How could the people around me be related to this matter... The people around me..."
"Are you sure that the people around you have not left the house in the past few days?" The Queen interrupted her impatiently.
"The people around me... have some necessary matters... someone has to do them, and they may also involve things outside the mansion. When I handle things, I will indeed ask some people to leave the mansion." Liu Jingyu hesitated and said this. She had to say this.
If they really investigate further, they will definitely find out that she sent her personal maid out of the house.
The Queen was waiting for this sentence: "Since the people around you have left the palace, they may have contact with the Qu family. You can't escape this matter. You are the only one who knows what I said to the wife of Duke Yu. If the King of England blames you for this matter... even I can't save you."
These words were very arrogant, and the meaning behind them was all about Liu Jingyu. The Queen didn't care whether it was true or not, as long as she thought it was true, it was true.
"Mother..." Liu Jingyu also understood and sobbed, "Mother... Your daughter-in-law really doesn't know anything."
She couldn't keep that maid, so she would deal with her when she got back.
"Don't even mention whether you know or not. This matter has already involved the Eastern Palace. You, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, cannot escape." The Queen snorted coldly, full of resentment.
"Mother... I don't understand. This matter is clearly the business of the Prince of Ying's Mansion. Why do you have to push it onto the head of the Eastern Palace? Is there something here that I don't know?" Liu Jingyu wiped her tears. She still didn't know where things went wrong.
"Why put the blame on the East Palace?" The Queen's tone was stern and cold. "The Crown Princess still doesn't know where she went wrong? Doesn't the Crown Princess feel that this is very similar to what happened to the previous Crown Princess? Or is the Crown Princess deliberately trying to involve the entire East Palace?"
These words hurt Liu Jingyu so much that his face turned as pale as snow.
What about Ji Hanyue? Liu Jingyu pressed her hands to the ground, and her eyes were dazed for a moment. Suddenly, she understood and kowtowed to the Queen: "Mother...daughter-in-law...daughter-in-law didn't know...it would be like this. If I had known it would be like this, I would have...would have been on guard early on."
The last sentence was said with gritted teeth. If she had known there would be such a consequence, she would not have discussed such a matter with her mother at that time. But her mother still agreed with it and even provided some small details. How could such a disaster happen now
Judging from the Queen's expression, she was sure of herself and believed that this matter had something to do with her.
Liu Jingyu felt guilty and couldn't be tough at this moment, so he could only answer vaguely.
The Queen snorted coldly: "If you intend to do this, it will not be me who is waiting for you now."
"Think about what could go wrong in this matter. If someone were to trace the matter back to you, I would not stop them." The Queen was still furious. "If there is anything, you'd better tell me as soon as possible. I will help you if I can. Tell me!"
