"I will take care of the evidence from the prince. You don't have to interfere." Pei Yuanjun said, fearing that Qu Moying would be too impatient and put her in danger.
"Can this... be accomplished?" Qu Moying raised her head and asked anxiously. If possible, she would rather do it herself, but she also knew that with her own abilities, it would be useless to investigate Pei Luoan now. In some places, she would need Pei Yuanjun's help.
She couldn't hide such a big thing.
If it was in the past, she would have weighed the pros and cons for a long time, but now, she would not...
"Don't worry, as long as he did it, there will always be some evidence." Pei Yuanjun whispered to comfort Qu Moying. Sensing that the person in his arms was very uneasy, he reached out and patted her back gently, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"
These words miraculously soothed Qu Moying. She did not sleep well last night. From time to time, she saw her father covered in blood in her dreams, standing in front of her, asking her to avenge him.
Then I saw the scene in the study room, when Pei Luoan had his father killed...
I wake up all the time and think about it all the time. Maybe there is too much pressure in my heart. Only after I say it out loud at this moment, I feel a lot more relaxed.
She is not alone now, there is someone she can rely on...
"Look at these letters... What's going on?" After leaning on Pei Yuanjun's arms for a while, Qu Moying finally recovered a little and gently pushed Pei Yuanjun's hand, asking him to look at the letters on the table.
Pei Yuanjun let her go and picked up the letter on the table to read. His eyes finally fell on the seal with the word "烈". It was very faint, almost invisible, but it could still be seen when looking closely.
"I don't know why the letters from this man named Lie and this woman are so precious. Why did my uncle collect their letters and hide them so well? There are no other letters. They have nothing to do with the prince... This man named Lie from the northern border can't be the prince, right? Or is it that woman?"
Qu Moying really couldn't figure it out. It seemed as if everything had become a tangled thread, and she was tangled in it, unable to find the end of the thread. She could only helplessly watch the threads get tighter and more tangled.
"The Second Prince of Northern Frontier is Qilie." Pei Yuanjun said with a smile. This was the private seal of the Second Prince, a very private one. He only used it when writing to some people in his family. Even the official documents he used were not this one. Pei Yuanjun had seen it by chance when he was at the border.
Unexpectedly, Ling Anbo had several letters in his hands, and each one was from the cautious second prince.
"This... Is this the seal of the Second Prince of Northern Frontier? Is this Second Prince of Northern Frontier also one of the people who came to Beijing to negotiate this time?" Qu Moying was stunned and immediately remembered what Pei Yuanjun had said to her before.
"It's this person. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that the prince was looking for his letter." Pei Yuanjun flicked his sleeves elegantly, sat down on a chair beside him, and pulled Qu Moying to sit opposite him.
"The letters the prince is looking for... are they really these?" Qu Moying's voice was full of excitement. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand. She searched for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. Then she found that the things were already in her hands, but she just couldn't recognize them. The last few words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth, "He is collaborating with the enemy."
"That may not be the case!" Pei Yuanjun shook his head and said slowly, "He may not be looking for these few letters. I'm afraid the prince has been deceived."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Pei Yuanjun's eyes. If Ji Youran's words were true, and the prince really attacked his father-in-law, and there was nothing related to him in Ling Anbo's mansion, but he tried his best to snatch it from Ling Anbo, then he must have fallen into someone else's trap.
Or maybe this is what others wanted, but he didn't realize it and thought that his letter fell into Ling Anbo's hands.
The prince... is still as stupid as ever...
"You mean... the prince... the prince harmed my cousin and uncle because... because he... he made a mistake?" Qu Moying grabbed Pei Yuanjun's sleeve and pulled hard with his hand, the veins on his hand almost popped out, and a flush of excitement appeared on his pale face.
Pei Yuanjun reached out and held Qu Moying's hand, and comforted her softly, "It's not certain yet... Maybe the prince is deliberately creating confusion, and Ji Youran may not believe everything he said."
"What she said... is at least almost right. The prince... he..." Qu Moying said hatefully. She wanted to clench her hands involuntarily, but Pei Yuanjun held her hands in his big palms. The warmth from her hands making her feel a little warmer in her heart.
"He's crazy!" Pei Yuanjun said.
If he wasn't crazy, how could he cut off his greatest support just because of a few letters? Compared with Liu Xiangshan, Ji Yongming is really a better person.
Qu Moying calmed down, the restlessness in his eyes faded, and finally slowly became as calm as water.
The fingers that were originally about to stir the mixture relaxed and let Pei Yuanjun hold her hand. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and finally fell wearily on her eyes.
She never understood why a person could change so much.
Why was Ji Hanyue so stupid as to mistake a fish eye for a beautiful jade? Now that he thought about it, it seemed really... Pei Luoan was like crazy.
In such a situation, how could Ji Hanyue have guessed it unless he was crazy? No one would do such a thing unless they were really... crazy.
"This letter... what should I do?" With a sad smile, Qu Moying looked at the letter on the table.
"I'll take her to have someone check to see if she's the second prince. As for this woman, I have a guess." Pei Yuanjun said, "Maybe you know her."
"Who could it be?" Qu Moying raised her eyes in surprise. Could this woman be someone she knew? How could she know such a woman? "Is she from the palace?"
It seemed that apart from the women in the palace, there were really no other women who could be related to the Second Prince of the Northern Frontier.
"He's not from the palace... He came here recently." Pei Yuanjun looked at her with gentle eyes.
"Just came here?" Qu Moying couldn't remember and shook her head in confusion. She didn't think there was such a person around her. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Mrs. Liu?"
"This... shouldn't be the case. Think about it again." Pei Yuanjun smiled and pointed to the letter in front of him. "Madam Liu... may have a connection with the second prince, but it can't be this kind of relationship."
The close relationship in the letter was very obvious, and some parts were even a bit explicit. Even though Madam Liu did not like Minister Liu, it was impossible for her to have such a relationship with the Second Prince.
Who else could it be
She glanced at Pei Yuanjun helplessly, wanting him to give her some hints, but he looked elegant, but didn't seem to have the slightest intention of reminding her. She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed for no reason: "Forget it if you don't want to tell me. I'll know it in the future anyway."
"That's right. In that case, I will leave." Pei Yuanjun saw that she was more alert than before, and he felt relieved and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, you seem to be disdainful of me. It's true that when there are new people, the old ones are no longer important." Qu Moying said coquettishly with a bad temper.
I used force with my hands, trying to push him away.
Suddenly his hand stopped and his eyes widened suddenly, "She?"
"Most likely." Pei Yuanjun smiled without saying anything.
"This... How is this possible? With her status, she has always been gentle and dignified since childhood... How... How is this possible?" Qu Moying looked at the letter on the table in horror.
In her opinion, this letter was already explicit. If it was written by an ordinary woman, people would think she was not very virtuous. But if it was written by a young lady from an aristocratic family who had been strictly educated since childhood, then... it was really unbelievable.
"Why not? Is she the same person you imagined before?" Pei Yuanjun said disapprovingly.
"But... but she is different. I heard that she has always been gentle and dignified!" Qu Moying still found it hard to believe. Judging from her words and actions, she is still as quiet as water even now. But she didn't expect that she had such a relationship with the Second Prince of Northern Frontier at that time
Then why do you still behave like this and seem so deeply in love
Qu Moying just thought that she was pretending to be pitiful and must have some ulterior motive for coming here, but she didn't expect that there was such a deep connection behind it. If it was true, did it mean that what happened to her father was also related to her
This woman... is really good at hiding things.
"She said she was gentle and dignified, but she was just pretending for others to see. She even believed it herself, thinking that she was really gentle and noble, born noble, and that everyone should crawl under her. She would fawn on and beg for mercy in front of the people she wanted to please. She was born with several faces."
Pei Yuanjun taunted.
"If it's true... she has big ambitions." Qu Moying looked at Pei Yuanjun. The man in front of her was exactly the one she wanted. No wonder she put in so much effort and even sent back the woman of the Second Prince of Northern Frontier. She was sure that Pei Yuanjun liked this type the most, and she herself the most.
Come to think of it, she is as weak as a willow and as beautiful as a flower, and in such a pitiful situation. How many men in this world can escape from her clutches
"No matter how big your ambition is, it's nothing more than this. If you don't like her, I'll just have her killed to prevent her from causing any other trouble." Pei Yuanjun narrowed his eyes. For him, he would rather kill someone by mistake than let her go. It didn't matter whether that woman was someone else or not.
When this woman came closer to him, she was already a dead person in his eyes.
I let her go before because she was still useful, but I didn't expect she would dare to run into me...
"Don't do it yet." Qu Moying held his hand tightly, "She left it to me... I want to check what happened back then... Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises."
It would be fine if she didn’t know, but if she knew she would never let go of this clue.
"Okay, when you feel you don't need her anymore, have someone get rid of her." Pei Yuanjun said lazily. That woman thought she had great skills, but in fact, she was nothing. He pulled Qu Moying to the couch and said, "Why bother with these people? I heard you didn't sleep well last night. It just so happens that I'm tired too. Accompany me to sleep for a while."
