Nanny Qing did go there after nightfall. She walked very carefully and stopped every time she reached a turn. She looked behind her deliberately. It was very quiet and there were not many people. Nanny Qing walked around for a long time before going to the place where incense and candles were prepared. There were some things prepared there, but not much.
Two sets of incense and candles, some cakes for offering, some paper to burn, and a few ordinary offerings.
Since we have gone to Dabei Temple, it is only right to prepare offerings and visit the Yue family.
The lady is an elder, so there is no need to prepare much. Apart from incense and candles, there are only two ordinary sachets containing mugwort, which are just right for burning mixed with paper threads at this time.
When noble families in the capital worshipped women, they would always include a sachet of perfume.
There is no need to say more, this one item also points out the woman's identity.
There was one portion placed in each of the two bamboo baskets. Qu Moying did not ask for too much. She just wanted to buy some herself outside and there was no need for the mansion to prepare any. Nanny Qing had already heard that Yudong had gone out and bought some.
Nanny Qing walked to the bamboo basket on the right. When she heard that this was for the fourth young lady, she took out a sachet from it, put the sachet in her arms into the basket, and then turned and left.
During the whole process, the lights were not turned on and we only watched in the light from the window.
"Miss, Nanny Qing really went to the place where the incense and candles were kept." When Yu Dong came in to report, Qu Moying was locking the opening of the last sachet.
"What do you think it is?" Qu Moying asked without raising his head.
"I don't think it's incense or candles. These things are quite long. And Nanny Qing didn't look like she would keep these things here just now." Yu Dong thought for a moment and said.
She followed very carefully and originally wanted to get closer, but this old woman was a cautious person. She was so careful that she could only follow from a distance for fear of being discovered. After that, Nanny Qing went in and left. She wanted to go over again but couldn't see anything.
"Let's see tomorrow." Qu Moying said indifferently and put down the sachet in her hand. She had already washed and combed her hair, and her long hair was loose, making her face look even whiter, tenderer and more graceful. Under the light, her long eyelashes were like a fan, casting uneven shadows under her eyes. Her eyes were much deeper and darker than those of ordinary people.
But when you look up at people, you feel that everything is crystal clear.
"Miss, I'll clean up for you, you can go to sleep first." Yuchun said.
Qu Moying nodded, lay down on the bed, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and closed his eyes.
After Yuchun had cleaned up everything, she blew out the lamp on the table and left with Yudong.
After the two maids left, Qu Moying opened her eyes again, staring blankly at the ceiling of the bed, and continued to think about the connection between Liu Jingyu and her.
If the girl she met when she was young was really Liu Jingyu, why did she treat her like that? A lady from a noble family should have understood things at this age, and this Jingyu County Lord was said to be smart since childhood, very nice to people, and had an excellent reputation.
She got the position of county lady partly because her reputation was indeed better than Qi Xiangyu's.
Why would such a woman hate me so much that she even deliberately pushed me into the corner of the table? Now when I think about it, it’s even scary. If no one came over at that time, would Liu Jingyu have done something even more excessive? Did she intend to hit me to death
She is older than Qu Moying
, and she was already sensible at that time, and looked much better than Qu Moying, who was skinny and had eye problems. It was no problem for her to deal with Qu Moying. At that time, she had no maids or old women to protect her, which was very strange. Was it because the servants neglected her
Her brows furrowed slightly, and it seemed that she had said something at that time, but Qu Moying was so scared and in pain at that time that she had no idea what was going on.
So what was going on? Was there a plan to deal with me when I was so young? But how could I possibly offend the high and mighty Jingyu County Lord when I was so young
One was the granddaughter of the Duke of Qi, whom he loved more than his own granddaughter. She was also the only daughter of Minister Liu, who had an uncertain future. She was much better off than Qu Zhizhen. But she was just a little abandoned girl. Her biological mother died early and her biological father just threw her aside. There was also Yu in the mansion who was always eyeing her covetously. No matter how you looked at it, her situation was not good.
Coupled with the eye disease, it can be said that his future is almost uncertain.
How could these two people have any connection with each other? It even made Liu Jingyu unable to resist and want to harm himself at that time. Now Liu Jingyu has grown up, but his hatred for himself has never disappeared.
What is it for
"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" The slender fingers silently touched her brow bone. Qu Moying suddenly widened her eyes, her whole body tensed in shock, and she almost screamed, her fists tightly clenched a corner of the quilt.
I saw a pair of cold and handsome eyes in the darkness, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw clearly: "Your Majesty."
He glanced at the window on one side, and sure enough, the window was half open. This prince was still awake in the middle of the night and came here.
"I saw a light here just now, but it was off when I came in." Pei Yuanjun said lazily, his hand falling from Qu Moying's brow, and he sat down directly.
Qu Moying was pushed back a little, thought for a moment, and then backed back a little more. Then she sat up with the quilt in her arms. Her jet-black hair fell down, making her face look as big as a palm, and her eyes looked even bigger.
"Your Highness, is there something you need?" Qu Moying asked.
He talks like it's just a normal street walk, but he is not a man who follows rules, so it's completely useless to talk to him about these things.
After squeezing Qu Moying's slender body into the bed, Pei Yuanjun yawned ungracefully: "I am tired too!"
He leaned back on the bed and closed his eyes.
"If you are tired, just go back and sleep!" Qu Moying advised speechlessly, "If you stay outside and don't go back, the people in the palace will definitely be worried."
"No hurry!" Pei Yuanjun said with his eyes closed, curling his delicate lips.
Qu Moying felt very anxious and had a headache.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, and there are many assassins recently. If your whereabouts are discovered, it may not be safe." Qu Moying glanced at the prince who was leisurely as if he was in his own home. He was really too casual. He didn't even consider her. After all, she was the daughter of a noble family. If people found out there was a man in the house, she would still have the nerve to live.
"The assassin's issue has been resolved." Pei Yuanjun said. With the moonlight shining through the window, one could see a faint smile on his handsome face.
It's surprisingly gentle.
Qu Moying felt that she must have seen it wrong, but the meaning of his words made her interested. She raised her watery eyes and looked at Pei Yuanjun in surprise, "You confessed everything?"
“I confess!”
"Who asked him to come?" Qu Moying straightened up.
, asked anxiously.
"A minor official from the Ministry of Justice let him escape, and asked him to assassinate you, and then helped him escape. But when the investigation was carried out, the minor official was already dead. He had died long before he went to assassinate you." Pei Yuanjun said lightly.
"They're all dead, there's no evidence?" Qu Moying was stunned for a moment, but then he understood clearly that if this matter was so easy to solve, such means would not be used.
"It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. They were just members of the royal family." Pei Yuanjun said. He was half lying on the bed, his collar loosened. The irises embroidered on it were bright and eye-catching, making the small piece of skin exposed outside look even whiter.
"What does the prince want?" Qu Moying's heart skipped a beat and he asked anxiously, his face becoming tense.
"It's not a big deal, but we have to tell the emperor, so that he doesn't know that his princes have become lawless to this extent." Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
Go to the emperor to complain
Qu Moying frowned again, thought for a moment and said, "Those princes have nothing to do with me. They can't treat me badly just because I'm the daughter of an assistant minister. It's a waste of my talent, right?"
"It's no small matter if it has anything to do with me." Pei Yuanjun said, and suddenly pulled the corners of his lips, a wicked smile appeared on his face, "I was frightened and almost got into trouble, they can't be doing well!"
Are you going to push all the problems onto someone else, just find someone to take the blame? How unreasonable is this? She guessed who it was, but she couldn't say it.
After thinking for a while, he said tactfully: "Your Highness, this matter has not been investigated clearly yet, but if those princes really got into trouble, people would definitely associate it with you, so you should be more careful."
She was not worried about the Prince of Yun, but was mainly afraid that the Prince of Yun would do something that would implicate her. Pei Yuanjun could bear it, but she could not, after all, she was just a weak woman in the boudoir.
"I don't need to be careful. Can they accuse me?" Pei Yuanjun snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to push Qu Moying in again, and lay down with peace of mind, "I am tired, I just came back from the West Prison."
Qu Moying was pushed against the corner of the wall and watched this man actually lie down. Did this prince really think that this was his palace
"Your Highness, since you are planning to do this, you have to go back to the mansion, otherwise someone will suspect that you are not in the mansion and think that you are the mastermind." Qu Moying said sincerely.
Pei Yuanjun narrowed his eyes, looked at Qu Moying's serious face, and a smile appeared on his face: "Why are you afraid of people suspecting you? Aren't you a brave person?"
"I'm not very courageous, but the prince's safety is more important." Qu Moying raised her little face righteously with a serious look on her face.
"Want me to go back?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows.
Qu Moying smiled and nodded honestly: "It would not be good if someone found the prince here!"
"You can also let me leave..." Pei Yuanjun said in a long voice, seeing Qu Moying's little face tensed up immediately, very vividly, he couldn't help laughing. This girl clearly looked like she wanted him to get out immediately, but she pretended to care about the world. It was really interesting!
"What does Your Highness need?" Qu Moying pursed her cherry lips and felt her cheeks a little tight. Then she collected her thoughts, lowered her eyebrows and looked at the corner of the quilt in front of her, extremely respectful.
