"For seriously ill people, if they have good medicine, they can delay their illness for as long as possible, because they could die at any time. But this shouldn't be the case for seriously injured people! If a seriously injured person doesn't die on the spot, he will continue to take medicine afterwards and will gradually get better. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wait so long. It's hard for him to die suddenly after that."
Qu Moying talked freely.
"He has been unconscious all the time?" the emperor said coldly.
"If she had been unconscious, why would Concubine Ji have to be sent to the East Palace to take care of her? There would be no mention of entrusting the maid to Concubine Ji, which shows that my cousin was awake at the time. Under what circumstances would a person who was supposed to recover from a serious injury suddenly become unable to do so and lose his life? Unless someone secretly attacked her, my cousin's presence got in her way."
Qu Moying said in a sad voice, his eyes slightly red.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for my cousin."
"You just think that it was Concubine Ji who harmed the former Crown Princess?" The emperor's expression froze and he asked unhappily.
"That's what I feel. With Concubine Ji's jealousy, she even dares to do something like changing the engagement letter. What else can't she do? Letting her take care of my injured cousin is like... like... pushing her to death." Qu Moying was grief-stricken and her eyes turned red.
"Since I returned home, I have been paying attention to... the affairs of the Ling Anbo Mansion... My cousin has been very kind to me. When I was not able to protect myself, it was my cousin who protected me... I will never let my cousin die in vain."
"You are very brave." The emperor said without comment.
"It's not that I'm bold... I just want justice for my cousin. Concubine Ji was jealous of my cousin and killed her, but she can enjoy wealth and glory. My cousin... My cousin was such a kind person, but she killed her... I can't rest in my dreams at midnight, and I feel so sad."
Qu Moying's tears fell, slid down her fair face and landed on the bluestone floor in front of her.
The tears are warm, but there is a cold blood color in the eyes.
The voice was deep, but without a trace of anxiety, and unusually clear.
In the middle of the night, she woke up with a heart-wrenching pain... That's exactly what she thought. She would not let any of these enemies go...
Reason? She had a legitimate reason to thank God once again for giving her the chance to be reborn, and she was reborn as Qu Moying.
In past and present lives, they are destined to be two people who are connected, and two people who are closely connected...
"Your Majesty, please give justice to my cousin and give her justice." Qu Moying kowtowed to the emperor three more times, on behalf of Qu Moying, Ji Hanyue, and everyone in the main branch of the Ji Mansion.
The emperor's gaze fell on Qu Moying, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. From his angle, he could not see Qu Moying's expression, but he could hear her sad and angry voice.
But she was extremely calm, and her words and actions were very steady, making people feel that the frail woman they had seen before could hardly be her, but it was her!
The cause and effect were explained very clearly and thoroughly. I had not thought much about these things before, but now that I think about them, there are indeed many doubts.
It’s not that this woman was deliberately causing trouble for the Eastern Palace, but Pei Luoan really didn’t do his job well enough.
If something really happened to Ji Hanyue, Pei Luoan would definitely not be innocent. Not only was he not innocent, he was even a madman. For a woman, he even protected himself and was killed.
He didn't even care about the seriously injured Crown Princess. How could he be so cold-blooded, so ungrateful, and so useless
Pei Luoan's deep affection for Ji Hanyue in the past always reminded the emperor of his regret towards Empress Yuan. This was the most regrettable thing in his life and the deepest pain in his heart.
If Pei Luoan is such a person, it is no wonder that the corresponding star lips are dim and suppressed by other stars. Could this be God's will
If the Great Zhou Kingdom were handed over to him, it might fall into the hands of some vicious woman...
From this line, the emperor thought more and more...
"Your Majesty!" Seeing him silent and with a cold look in his eyes, Li Quan said in a low voice.
The emperor turned his head and coughed softly, then came back to his senses: "I will find out about your cousin's matter, but Ji Youran has not been found yet, so you should be careful about what you say."
This is the emperor's warning to her that Ji Youran will never appear again, so the fire cannot directly burn Pei Luoan.
She had expected this outcome and was not surprised by the emperor's decision. The words of a middle-aged woman and Ji Youran's jealousy were not enough to destroy Pei Luoan, unless Ji Youran confessed everything. But obviously Ji Youran would not have such an opportunity. Everything that was obvious was done by Ji Youran, and other things could not be found out clearly.
Since the truth cannot be revealed, Pei Luoan cannot be blamed. To him, it was just a case of being deceived.
However, Pei Luoan is the crown prince, a crown prince, but he is being toyed around by a woman. Even if there are no other things, will the Great Zhou Kingdom be handed over to such a foolish person in the future
She was only the Princess of England. She could use the fact that she was a maid as an opportunity to turn over Ji Youran's account, but she couldn't turn over Pei Luoan's account directly. However, she could plant a seed of distrust in the hearts of the emperor and his ministers...
First it was Ji Youran and then Pei Luoan...
This time, the attack was carried out directly by using the maid sent by Prince Jing's Mansion, catching Pei Luoan off guard and leaving a trace. I am not afraid of Pei Luoan investigating, I am afraid that Pei Luoan will not investigate...
"Yes!" Qu Moying answered respectfully.
The emperor smiled faintly when he saw her like this. "It is certain that Ji Youran is jealous and vicious, but she has nothing to do with the Crown Princess's death. She is just a woman with evil intentions. This matter ends here. The government will investigate the rest."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Moying said.
Seeing that Qu Moying understood what he meant, the emperor was satisfied and ordered someone to lead her away.
"Your Majesty... what do you think?" After Qu Moying left, Eunuch Defu asked with a nod and a bow.
"He seems to be a man of good manners, and a generous and decent person." The emperor was very satisfied with Qu Moying. He did not insist on that point, nor did he intend to lead the prince to blame. "It seems that this is really an accident."
"Your Majesty... if this is an accident, it is too surprising. This kind of thing... never happens by accident." Eunuch Defu said with a smile.
"Eunuch Defu, do you think that the Princess of England is deliberately causing trouble?" Li Quan laughed in a shrill voice.
"Of course not... I am afraid that the Princess of England will be... used." Eunuch Defu said meaningfully.
"Use? Who would use the British princess? Could it be that Eunuch Defu is referring to the King of England?"
He politely responded to what Eunuch Defu said.
The two had been rivals before, and now they were even more displeased with him. He was clearly someone close to the Empress Dowager, but he kept getting closer to the Emperor.
"I dare not. I am afraid that the Princess of England... will be instigated by others, and not only will she be plotted against, but His Royal Highness will also be implicated. This kind of thing... If you are not absolutely sure, how can you really do such a thing? The Princess of England has only been married into the Prince of England's palace for a short time!"
Although Eunuch Defu really wanted to tear Eunuch Liquan apart, he did not show any sign on his face and continued to smile respectfully, as if he was truly serving the Emperor wholeheartedly.
“Your Majesty…” Li Quan wanted to say something, but saw the emperor waving his hand.
"Okay, that's the end of it!"
"Yes!" "Yes!" Liquan and Defu responded together.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now." said Eunuch Defu.
"If you need anything at your mother's mausoleum, ask the queen. If it doesn't have it, ask someone to go find it first," the emperor ordered.
A big part of the reason why Eunuch Defu came here this time was because of some necessary supplies.
"Yes, I thank the Emperor on behalf of the Empress Dowager." Eunuch Defu choked up as he spoke. "The Empress Dowager appeared in my dream the day before yesterday, asking me to serve the Emperor well, saying that the Emperor is a good person and that I should take good care of myself in the future and not hurt myself because of other things, otherwise the Empress Dowager will not be at peace in her grave."
The emperor was silent for a while after hearing these words. Then he waved his hand and Eunuch Defu retreated. He straightened his hunched body at the door, looked back at the door of the imperial study, and frowned.
He came here this time because he was entrusted with a task. He did not expect that the Princess of England was quite difficult to deal with. Although she looked young, she was very good at reading people's faces. Not only did she know the practical matters, but she was also not reluctant at all. He originally wanted to punish her under the Emperor's orders, but he did not expect that nothing would happen in the end.
This has all been done in vain!
Not only was it a waste of time, but it might also offend the King of England. This was done when the King of England was not at home and was sent out on official business.
However, he was leaving soon, so whether or not the matter would succeed was not something he should consider. He had already done it anyway, so it was not his fault if it was of no use.
When he returns to Beijing one day, some time will have passed and who will remember such a small thing.
With this thought in mind, Eunuch Defu had no scruples at all and took two eunuchs with him to the Empress's Pepper Room. He had already told the Empress what he needed, so there shouldn't be anything else. Now he just had to report to the Empress, take the supplies and leave, and there would be no problem.
Eunuch Defu thought so, so he immediately took his people to the Pepper Palace. The matter with the Queen Mother was resolved very easily, and she also received him personally. She gave Eunuch Defu a few instructions, gave him a reward, and let him leave.
After returning from the Pepper Palace, Eunuch Defu was very satisfied. Although he was not in the palace, the masters in the palace all gave him face and no one dared to look at him harshly. He received a lot of rewards and used less supplies. If he calculated the silver he could get, it would be even more. This trip was a good one.
Eunuch Defu walked forward while thinking. Before he reached his original place, the scene in front of him suddenly became dark. Something was put on his head, and then he was hit hard on the back of his head, and also on his back a few times. After falling to the ground, he was stepped on a few times...
