"Your Majesty!" The eunuch saluted and stopped in front of Liu Jingyu.
"Your Highness is in the study?" Liu Jingyu asked softly, looking up at the slightly closed door. There was a lot of noise just now. Who made the prince angry? As soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, the eunuch came to greet her.
"Your Highness is handling matters in the study," said the eunuch.
"Who else is in the room?" Liu Jingyu asked after a moment of silence.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." The eunuch did not answer and skipped the topic.
Liu Jingyu frowned. She had just clearly heard a lot of noise in the study. The prince was angry, and she didn't want to bump into him at this time.
Although I was anxious, I still waited patiently.
Finally, a eunuch was seen going in to serve. After a while, two more eunuchs went in and dragged out a person. It was a woman with disheveled hair, bleeding, and looking in a miserable state.
Liu Jingyu stepped aside, covered his nose with a handkerchief in disgust, but his eyes were fixed on the woman who was dragged over.
He recognized the person at a glance.
Slant wind
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions. What happened to make this maid named Xiefeng be beaten like this
I stood there and watched Xiefeng being dragged away, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
"Your Majesty, His Highness asks you to go back first." The eunuch came over and said.
"I have something important to tell Your Highness." Liu Jingyu's face darkened and she had no intention of leaving. She had been waiting for too long. Too many things had happened during this period. In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, she did not even go back to her parents' home.
Every day is a torment.
"But your majesty... Your Highness doesn't want to see anyone right now." The eunuch said, bending over in embarrassment.
"It's an important matter, the Queen Mother ordered it." Liu Jingyu straightened his body and said coldly.
There was a flash of anger in her eyes. She didn't want to see anyone, didn't want to see outsiders? But was she an outsider? She even took the blame for the prince. What else could the prince hide from her
Hearing that it was the Queen's intention, the eunuch did not dare to stop her. He took a step back and turned inside to report.
After a while, he came out and led Liu Jingyu in.
The study had been cleaned and looked no different from before, except for some water stains on the floor and a faint smell of blood that had not yet dried.
As soon as Liu Jingyu stepped in, he smelled something and was disgusted.
Pei Luoan was sitting behind the large desk, holding a case file in his hand, as if no different from usual. However, Liu Jingyu was sensitive to the fact that he was definitely not in a good mood at the moment. His face was gloomy and pale, an unhealthy color to begin with, and now it made people feel that Pei Luoan in front of him was in poor health.
Only when a pair of eyes fell on Liu Jingyu from behind the case file, there seemed to be a chill in their feeling.
The faint smell of blood makes people feel creepy.
"What's the matter, mother?" Pei Luoan spoke slowly and coldly.
Liu Jingyu did not dare to neglect it. He took two steps forward and bowed, then straightened his back and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the reprimand from your mother?"
Pei Luoan had helped to plead for Liu Jingyu's "affair", and Liu Jingyu was punished to copy the female precepts in the mansion.
Pei Luoan was very impatient: "What on earth is going on?"
"My mother is ill, and I want to go back to see her. This time she is seriously ill, and I...
"Your Highness..." Liu Jingyu said sadly with tears in her eyes.
"Then go!" Pei Luoan said coldly.
"But... the Queen Mother punished me before and asked me to copy the female rules in the mansion. I couldn't go anywhere until I finished copying them." Liu Jingyu raised her eyes and looked at Pei Luoan eagerly.
She was innocent in this matter and was taking the blame for Pei Luoan. After she came back, Pei Luoan said that she could copy as much as she could and he would help with the things that she couldn't copy.
"I understand. Go ahead!" Pei Luoan understood what she said. He should have comforted Liu Jingyu in a kind voice at this time, but he was in no mood to do such a thing.
He waved his hand and his eyes fell on the file in front of him again.
He said he was looking at the words on the file, but in fact he couldn't really see the words on it. His mind was blank, and only the few words in front of him were black.
There are some different colors.
The black and white suddenly reminded him of Ji Hanyue on that day. Ji Hanyue was lying there lifeless. Something in his heart seemed to be broken, twisting his heart and lungs, making his chest feel fishy and sweet. He tightly grasped the chair railing beside him to suppress the blood in his heart.
His pale face took on an unhealthy red hue.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Liu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt unsatisfied.
The words the prince said to her before were still ringing in her ears. Shouldn't she say a few words to comfort herself at this time
"Your Highness, would you like to accompany me?" Liu Jingyu said softly, looking at Pei Luoan tenderly. She had suffered so much criticism before. If the prince was willing to accompany her, it would be of great benefit to her reputation and would also allow her to gain a firmer foothold in the East Palace.
Even if the Queen Mother punished her, she still had to rely on the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince supported her, what she did was justified.
Ji Youran is not a good person. Even if he died, it was his own fault.
Pei Luoan, who was sitting behind the desk, suddenly threw the case file in his hand to the ground, stared at Liu Jingyu with red eyes, and supported himself on the desk with his hands.
“Your Highness…” Liu Jingyu was startled and subconsciously took a step back.
But it was too late. Pei Luoan opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body went limp in front of Liu Jingyu's horrified gaze...
“Someone come quickly… someone come quickly…” Liu Jingyu’s voice became sharp and trembling.
“Did the Crown Prince vomit blood because he thought about the incident with the late Crown Princess?” When Qu Moying heard the news, his first feeling was one of ridicule. Has this reached a higher level of pretense
"The doctors are all gone." Pei Yuanjun said disapprovingly, "It's good to spit out the blood. I heard that it would be worse if it was kept in the heart."
"Are you feeling depressed?" Qu Moying couldn't help but laugh. "From what I heard, the prince is really affectionate and loyal."
The sarcasm in her voice was obvious. "It's been so long, and my cousin has been gone for so long. The prince remarried a princess and has many wives and concubines in the palace. Suddenly I thought of my cousin again, and I'm upset because of my cousin. The prince is really... to my cousin..."
She didn't know how to describe this matter, she just felt that Pei Luoan could breathe a sigh of relief.
Could it be that the lives of his family were not as important as Pei Luoan's mouthful of blood? His family died silently, and no one noticed the great injustice. But when Pei Luoan spit out a mouthful of blood, everyone in the capital knew about it.
The heavy reputation once again fell on Pei Luoan.
"Your Highness, is this true?" Qu Moying didn't believe it.
"It's true. So many imperial doctors have gone there." Pei Yuanjun had a smile in his eyes, as indifferent as water. He pulled Qu Moying forward a few steps. The two had just finished their lunch, so it was time to take a short walk and eat.
After walking a few steps, I saw that the weather outside was hot, so I didn't plan to walk any further and just walked around in the pavilion on the rockery.
"Then his injury came really late, and his reaction... is a bit slow." Qu Moying said disapprovingly, and walked towards the pavilion. That direction was the direction of the East Palace. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she raised her eyes and looked solemnly in that direction, with a smile on her cherry lips as clear as water.
"Indeed... It's been so long, and it looks like something has happened again. It might be because someone brought up what happened back then, and the prince learned something he didn't know before." Pei Yuanjun said casually, pulling Qu Moying to sit down at the fence on the other side.
"You only know it now? I'm afraid it's not that you don't know, but you just covered your eyes." Qu Moying curled the corners of his lips, "Such a big thing has happened, I'm afraid everyone will think that the prince is very loyal and will never regret it until his death."
Thinking that Pei Luoan had taken advantage of his good reputation again, a hint of coldness flashed in Qu Moying's eyes. "Ji Hanyue" could really serve Pei Luoan's good reputation at any time.
Every time was used well.
"The prince is anxious." Pei Yuanjun took the tea handed over by the eunuch and turned to Qu Moying.
Qu Moying took it and took a sip. It was not hot and just right in the mouth, but slightly warm.
"Why is the prince in such a hurry?" After drinking, he turned his head to look at Pei Yuanjun.
"The envoy from the northern border is about to arrive." Pei Yuanjun raised his eyes and looked over there, his sleepy eyes revealing a hint of depth.
"What does the person coming from Northern Frontier have to do with the prince?" Qu Moying was shocked and clenched the teacup in his hand.
"The envoys from Northern Frontier are accompanied by people from Liu Xiangshan," Pei Yuanjun said.
"The people on King Jing's side... If they have great contributions in this peace talk, will General Liu also have some?" Qu Moying didn't quite understand what this meant. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but ask.
"That's the idea, but I discovered that... the Crown Prince and Liu Xiangshan... seemed to have had a connection a long time ago." Pei Yuanjun said disapprovingly.
"They... are they connected?" Qu Moying's voice trembled. Pei Luoan was actually connected to Liu Xiangshan? She remembered that when Pei Luoan talked about Liu Xiangshan in the past, he didn't have a good impression. It seemed that he was also influenced by his father and was a little dissatisfied with Liu Xiangshan.
How is Pei Luoan connected to Liu Xiangshan
If there was any connection, he never said a word to my father or me...
"What is his relationship with the General Auxiliary to the State?" Qu Moying asked word by word.
"It's not clear, but since he is going to the capital, it should be clearer. Besides, Liu Xiangshan is the father-in-law of King Jing, not the prince."
Even if there was something in the past, it is no longer there.
There were too many meanings in these words, and Qu Moying seemed to understand them, but she was very clear about one thing: some things might have come to a point where they could be settled...
Pei Luoan was anxious? What did Beijiang have to do with him? Did the people from Beijiang also have a hand in the original incident
She still doesn't understand why Pei Luoan wants to kill her father...
