The daughter of Duke Yu
Qu Moying's luck is really too good. How could she be the daughter of Duke Yu
"Princess, do you want to go and see Princess Ying? I heard that many people go to the farm of Prince Ying's palace outside the city to visit the sick." Hai Qing suggested when he saw that she was silent.
"Visiting the sick? Who did she meet?" Liu Lanxin asked. Qu Moying was also sick before, but later she said she was better. However, because she was outside the city, no one wanted to visit her. Now her status is different, and her family is powerful behind her, so some people are interested in her. People in the capital are really snobbish.
"I haven't heard of it yet... Maybe that's just what they said. The manor outside the city... I heard that it's heavily guarded, not everyone can see it if they want to." Hai Qing shook his head.
"Is there any movement in the Prince's Mansion?" Liu Lanxin asked. The Qu family was released in this matter, but it still involved the Liu Mansion. Minister Liu's official position was demoted and he became a doctor in the Ministry of Works.
"There is no movement in the Prince's Mansion. I wanted to inquire about the Crown Princess, but I couldn't find out for the time being." Hai Qing shook her head, knowing that her own princess was more concerned about the affairs of the Crown Princess and Princess Ying. After finding out about Princess Ying, she also went out of her way to inquire about the Crown Princess.
"This shouldn't happen!" Liu Lanxin said to herself. It was really strange that Liu Jingyu's family was in such a state and she didn't make any move.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the Crown Princess has been locked up?" Haihua suddenly asked.
"Lock him up?" Liu Lanxin seemed to be thinking about something.
"Your Majesty, think about it, such a big thing happened in the Liu Mansion before, and the current Liu Mansion is even worse. It was almost a disaster. How could the Crown Prince tolerate the Crown Princess? I only heard that the Crown Princess was in love with the former Crown Princess and missed the former Crown Princess. I have never heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any sympathy for the Crown Princess."
Sea Flower Road.
This reminded Liu Lanxin that the Liu family had suffered such a great blow. As the Crown Princess, how could Liu Jingyu do nothing? What would she do if she were Liu Jingyu? What would the Crown Prince do
"Your Majesty, is the Queen sincerely doing this for Princess Ying's good this time?" Hai Qing lowered her voice to remind Liu Lanxin that when it came to Princess Ying's affairs, the Queen was not only selfless in her words, but she also wholeheartedly protected Princess Ying.
This made Liu Lanxin even more silent. She couldn't see through this matter now and couldn't understand it. Logically speaking, Liu Jingyu would be angry if something happened in the Liu Mansion, and he would definitely make things difficult for Qu Moying. As for the Queen Mother, it was impossible for her to stand on Qu Moying's side. Now it seemed that she was wholeheartedly treating Qu Moying well.
Qu Moying is not her biological wife, so why is she so protective of her? Is there something she doesn't know
What the Qu girl did was instigated by the maids in the Liu Mansion. Liu Lanxin didn't believe it, but in the end, the Prince Ying's Mansion rose high and fell low.
Did he make a good alliance with the Empress? Did he make a good alliance with the Crown Prince
Thinking of this, the hairs on his back stood up. He put his hands on the table and was about to stand up, but then he sat down again, "Go and ask the prince to come over."
Hai Qing looked at her expression and responded quickly.
After a while, Pei Yusheng was invited over.
The couple sat down. They were the only ones in the room. The two personal maids were also sent out.
"Your Highness, is there something wrong here?" Liu Lanxin told Pei Yusheng what she had just thought of and asked in a low voice.
Pei Yusheng frowned and nodded: "I heard that Princess Ying loosened her grip and stopped investigating the Qu clan girl, and asked Jingzhao Yin to release her."
Concubine He also has her own people in the palace, so she knows some things.
"What do you mean?" Liu Lanxin was stunned and asked.
"This is a compromise between Princess Ying and the Queen. The Queen supports Princess Ying's return to her ancestral home and says that Princess Ying has done her utmost to be kind to the Qu family!" Pei Yusheng said.
"Your Highness... What should we do then?" Liu Lanxin asked anxiously, sensing some crisis in this.
"Mother, let's wait and see what happens. Mother has sent someone to ask the wife of Duke Yu to find out what happened. If possible, Mother will ask us to help investigate what happened back then. Duke Yu returned to the capital. Who had such a big malice towards Duke Yu that they didn't even let go of a newborn child?"
Pei Yusheng rubbed his brows and said that this matter was difficult to investigate. At that time, he was still a child, and the incident happened too long ago, so it might be difficult to investigate at once.
"Since it's difficult to check, how can we check it?" Liu Lanxin said disapprovingly. The results of not finding out and finding out would be completely different.
Even if Concubine He wanted to make friends with the Princess of England, it would be difficult to do so at the moment.
He was already one step slower than the Queen in terms of starting.
"What happened back then..." Pei Yusheng looked at Liu Lanxin, "I heard that my father-in-law and Duke Yu were guarding the border together, and then they separated after Duke Yu returned to Beijing. It would probably be easier to ask my father-in-law to investigate. He just needs to find out who had the greatest malice towards Duke Yu at that time."
This was a plan thought up by Concubine He and Pei Yusheng. Pei Yusheng had just returned from the palace and had originally wanted to discuss the matter with Liu Lanxin. Liu Xiangshan should know more about what happened back then than anyone else.
"Father has been at the border. The incident with Duke Yu happened near the capital. Maybe someone didn't want him to enter the capital safely. This person should also be in the capital. Father couldn't have known that the capital was particularly unfriendly to Duke Yu at that time." Liu Lanxin shook his head, thinking that this might not work.
"I will investigate the capital, but I will have to trouble my father-in-law at the border. Princess, please write a letter and send it to my father-in-law at the border as fast as you can. Ask him to investigate it carefully. If there is any result, send it to me immediately. If you can find the person before the crown prince, you will definitely be able to make Princess Ying thank you, and you can also get the gratitude of Duke Yu."
Pei Yusheng said.
"This... okay, but I can't say whether this will succeed or not." Liu Lanxin agreed and deliberately added an explanation.
"It's okay, as long as my father-in-law does his best." Pei Yusheng said softly, looking up at Liu Lanxin, "Thank you for your help, Princess."
"What are you talking about, Your Highness? Everything I have belongs to you. How can you say it's a trouble or not?" Liu Lanxin said gently.
"As for the King of Japan..." Pei Yusheng sighed, with tenderness in his eyes, "He will never let you down."
This was his promise, which made Liu Lanxin excited. She lowered her head, holding the handkerchief in her hand, and had some new ideas.
As expected, his life became much better when Qu Qiuyan was not at home.
Qu really deserved to be stepped on. His Highness now had feelings for her, and she felt inexplicably sweet in her heart. Although she was arrogant and had never cared about Pei Yusheng's feelings in the past, it would naturally be the best if Pei Yusheng fell in love with her.
But after laughing, she had some new worries. She didn't know what happened back then, but she knew one thing: her father actually didn't like Duke Yu.
Once he got drunk and cursed Duke Yu, asking why he didn't just die.
This matter... is it related to my father? How can I investigate this matter...
Pei Yusheng sat with Liu Lanxin for a while, then took his people back to the study, saying that there were still many things to be dealt with in the study, and asked Liu Lanxin to do as she pleased.
Liu Lanxin sent Pei Yusheng to the gate of the courtyard, watched Pei Yusheng leave, and then returned to the house.
He sat down in the house and sent everyone out. He thought for a long time and finally wrote a letter, asking someone to send it to the border as quickly as possible.
She should have told her father about Duke Yu's finding his daughter. Her father had asked her to pay more attention to Duke Yu's mansion...
But what does father think about the Yuguo Mansion
Finally, she put down her pen. She had to find out more about the matter, so as not to delay her father's important event...
The story of Qu Moying's life shocked the entire court, but the Qu family was the most shocked.
Qu Zhizhen could hardly believe his ears. He could only feel a buzzing sound in front of his eyes. It took him a long time to hold the table and steady himself. He looked at the servant kneeling below and asked with gritted teeth, "What did you say just now?"
"The Princess of England is not the fourth daughter of our family... She is... The eldest daughter of the Duke of Yu's family." The servant didn't know how things turned out like this, and when asked, he answered stutteringly.
This is too unbelievable.
"Nonsense... She's obviously my daughter." Qu Zhizhen shouted.
"Second Master, we think so too. How could the fourth young lady of our house become the young lady of someone else's house? They also said that the fourth young lady was found after the young master born by the Madam... Madam was robbed." The servant stammered, "The Queen has issued an order."
This means that the situation is already set.
Qu Zhizhen's body shook and he fell heavily into the chair. He felt a sweet sensation in his throat and almost vomited blood.
In the past few days, he has been thinking about how to repair his relationship with the British palace. He feels that although his little daughter did not grow up by his side, she is still his daughter after all, and she will never really break off the relationship with him. This matter does not make sense even if he talks about it. But he did not expect... She is not his daughter
This... How is this possible!
Now he only wants this daughter, who has become the Princess of England.
This is his daughter, what right does Duke Yu have to snatch her away? Since Xiao Yue adopted her, she will be his daughter for life, how can she be abandoned halfway
He was unwilling to accept it.
All his future career prospects depend on his daughter. This time of recuperation in the mansion is just a temporary reprieve, giving both father and daughter a good excuse. He will definitely ask for his daughter's forgiveness one day. If that doesn't work, he will push Xie out and ask for his daughter's forgiveness with Xie's death.
Based on this blood relationship, he didn't believe that his daughter could be so cruel as to ignore her biological father.
But now... Now she actually told him that her daughter was not her biological daughter, and that she would cut off all ties with the Qu family and him, saying that she had already repaid the kindness she had shown him in the past.
No, he couldn't just let it go. With the heat rising up, Qu Zhizhen could hardly control himself and slammed the table, then stood up. This matter... he couldn't let it go...
