"If I die, you die! If I live, you live!"
It was just a few simple words, but Yuxiu and Andong found it hard to understand. After looking at them from left to right for a while, they turned to Qu Moying who was leisurely playing the piano beside them.
An Dong said with a bitter face: "Master, what does this mean?"
Yuxiu was also very surprised: "Master, what does Ji Youran's note mean? Why did Xiefeng leave after reading it, and then secretly talk for a while before leaving?"
There was clearly something fishy about this matter. Mingxin could naturally understand the contents on this piece of paper. The person who was in contact with Mingxin now was sent by An Dong.
This marriage note was not the one that Ji Youran sent to Xie Feng that day. That one was destroyed after Xie Feng read it. Ming Xin wrote a new one and sent it over.
Just these few words.
"Why do you think... this is happening?" Qu Moying's men kept asking.
An Dong said very naturally: "It sounds as if Ji Youran has something on Xie Feng."
"It sounds similar to me." Yu Xiu nodded. This was what the words meant. Although it was written simply, it was very clear. If Ji Youran couldn't survive, Xie Feng would definitely not survive either.
"I wonder if there is really some hidden story behind the Crown Princess's...death. Could it be that some of the rumors outside are true?" An Dong asked cautiously.
Even though there was no one else in the room at the moment, he felt a chill down his spine when he said this. When his master had asked him to send someone to spread the rumor, most of it was speculation. He hadn't expected it to actually happen. Could it be that he had accidentally revealed the truth
If this is really the case, let alone that Ji Youran is not a concubine, even if she is now the Crown Princess, she will not be able to handle this matter.
The music of the piano finally stopped. Qu Moying lowered his eyes and said after a long while, "No matter what the reason is, keep a close eye on Xie Feng and see if she makes any moves. Since Ji Youran has called her over, it's not just for a chat. If Ji Youran can't save herself at this time, she will have no choice but to die in a corner of the East Palace."
Qu Moying said coldly, her long and curled eyelashes hiding the coldness in her eyes.
Pei Luoan really took great pains to maintain his affectionate character, and he couldn't just sentence Ji Youran to death, especially at a time like this.
The more declining the Ling Anbo Mansion became, the more he couldn't just take Ji Youran's life directly, otherwise those who followed him wholeheartedly would be disappointed.
She naturally didn't want Ji Youran to die like this...
"Master, rest assured. I have had people keep a close eye on Xie Feng. However, in the East Palace, we can only roughly know what she did and cannot confirm it. However, we can confirm it outside the palace."
Mingxin is in the mansion, but his people cannot always go to Mingxin, and some things are not responded to in time, after all, that is the Eastern Palace.
"Don't worry about the inside of the mansion, outside the mansion... it should be outside the mansion." Qu Moying shook his head and said thoughtfully.
Liu Jingyu's family is the only one in power in the mansion now. It is impossible for Ji Youran to get help from Liu Jingyu. The only option left is to seek help from outside the mansion.
Who is outside the mansion? She was also very curious, but there were not many people who could influence Pei Luoan at this time.
"Are you going to pay homage to the late Crown Princess?" Liu Jingyu looked at Xie Feng who was kneeling respectfully below him. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but a smile appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and
He raised his head and said, "Stand up and talk. If you have something to say, just tell me. Do you think I won't agree to your request?"
If Ji Hanyue's people were not needed now, she would kill her just because this girl was the prince's maid.
Now in this mansion, there are almost no people who can be said to be brought in by Ji Hanyue, especially this kind of personal maid who grew up with her and whom she has had feelings for since childhood. Now that this maid is in her hands, she must of course treat her well and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understand her dignified and kind nature.
If he could even treat the personal maidservant of the former Crown Princess well, who else could he not treat well in the future!
"My lady, there have been a lot of incidents in the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion recently. Now even the Madam has had such a big incident. Miss Ji... is in this situation again. Miss Ji's father... was expelled from the Ji family. Although I am now a member of the Crown Prince's Mansion, I used to be the maid of the former Crown Princess. I want to go and pay tribute to the former Crown Princess and ask her to bless the Ji Mansion."
Supported by a maid, Xie Feng stood up and spoke while wiping his tears.
She didn't dare to show off in front of Liu Jingyu.
Ji Youran was finished. He didn't expect that she could actually catch the eye of the Crown Princess and suddenly become a popular figure in front of the Crown Princess. The contrast was so great that Xie Feng could hardly react. But then he was ecstatic. As expected, when Ji Youran got into trouble, he would be fine. Ming Xin was right.
In the past few days, she has been serving the Crown Princess carefully, trying hard to become the most popular person in front of the Crown Princess.
Just when she thought her future was bright, Mingxin actually handed her a note. It was a note from Ji Youran. Looking at the words on it, Xiefeng immediately felt cold from head to toe.
There are some things that she knows, and Ji Youran also knows them. On the other hand, if Ji Youran tells everything, she, a little maid, will definitely not survive.
But she had no choice at the time. Wasn't it the eldest lady and the crown prince who wanted to plot against the second young lady? She was just a little maid, and it was fine for her to tip off the second young lady, but she really didn't want to kill the second young lady.
In the past, she always thought that the Crown Prince's sweetheart was Ji Youran, but now she couldn't understand it. Could it be that the Crown Prince was really deeply in love with the Second Miss
But no matter what, she knew one thing: if the eldest lady really didn't want to live, it would only take a minute to drag her down with her. Even though she was appreciated by the Crown Princess now, her life would be gone if the Crown Prince said a word.
She had no choice but to go find Ji Youran. After the two of them talked for a long time, Xie Feng came back and sat down in her room. After thinking it over, she made the previous request.
"What a loyal and good maid. If that's the case, I will naturally agree. For the Crown Princess' spirit in heaven, if you can keep everyone safe, that would be the best." Liu Jingyu said slowly, smiling as gentle as ever, and then asked with concern, "Since we are going to pay tribute to the Crown Princess, we can't go to such a small place. It would lose our status."
"Don't worry, Crown Princess. I want to go to Qingyun Temple. It was the favorite place of the late Crown Princess. Now I am paying tribute to her there, which can be regarded as fulfilling the master-servant relationship between me and the late Crown Princess. From now on, I will serve you wholeheartedly."
Xie Feng was also afraid that Liu Jingyu would misunderstand that she had always been considering the original owner, so she explained.
Liu Jingyu smiled and nodded: "It's best if you think so.
If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper. Everything will be done according to your request. Don't let the former Crown Princess down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. It doesn't require anything. Just keep it simple. The former Crown Princess was originally a simple person. If you do too much, she will blame you." Seeing that Liu Jingyu agreed readily, Xie Feng immediately wiped away his tears and smiled.
We don't need too many people, just her and Mingxin are enough. If there are too many people, it will be easy for news to spread, and some words will be passed around, which is not good.
This Crown Princess is not an eldest lady, and I still can't figure out her temper. Besides, I will have to serve her in the future, so I can't say a wrong word or take a wrong step.
"That's fine, you can handle this matter!" Liu Jingyu didn't look very interested and waved his hand.
Xie Feng was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, gritted his teeth, and knelt down again: "Your Highness, I have something to report. Please forgive me for my unintentional mistake."
What Mingxin had said before suddenly flashed through his mind. He was indeed very careful when going to see the eldest lady, but what if someone saw it and reported it to the Crown Princess
Do you want to say it? Say it
In a flash, Xie Feng had already prepared her words, her face filled with guilt and uneasiness. Since she was a maid who cared deeply about her original master, she couldn't abandon the eldest lady at this time, lest the Crown Princess think that what she said and did before were all lies.
"What else?" Liu Jingyu put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
"That's right... I secretly went to see the young lady before, and brought her some daily necessities." Xie Feng made up her mind and said it out loud. She felt her heart beating heavily, and every beat almost hit her blood, making her feel restless and irritable.
"Have you been to see it?" Liu Jingyu's voice seemed to be infinitely stretched, making it even more tormenting, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
“I did go to see it, but it was just a look… I missed my old master and sent some things over. I hope the Crown Princess will punish me.” Xie Feng knelt there with her head lowered, not moving. Only her choked sobs could reveal her grievance and sadness.
A good maid who misses her old master
Liu Jingyu curled the corners of his lips sarcastically, and then said, "Since you're going, just go! She did this herself, angered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and was powerless to save the situation. Now she has fallen to this point, and it is her own fault."
"Yes, I know. I won't dare to do that again in the future. Giving these things will also sever the relationship between us as master and servant." Xie Feng wiped away her tears and nodded heavily, as if she had really made up her mind.
If this matter was not spoken out, Xie Feng felt that the possibility of being discovered was very high. No one was a fool. Although she had sneaked in through the back door that day, it was not completely untraceable. It would be better to speak out directly to avoid being exposed by others later.
Coming out of the Crown Princess's courtyard, Xiefeng strode towards her own residence. She still lived in the original place. Mingxin was waiting for her there and would give her advice. There were some things she could not tell Mingxin, but it was okay to express them vaguely.
Can that person really save the young lady
The young lady might as well just die and put an end to it all, but now she has to do things for her to prevent her from doing something desperate. As I said before, she hopes that the young lady will die suddenly...
