So many things happened last night, and Liu Jingyu is still injured. The maids and old women in the yard moved very carefully, for fear of disturbing the master who was resting inside.
When Pei Luoan entered the inner room, he saw Liu Jingyu lying on the bed, and a surge of anger rose between his brows.
Liu Jingyu, lying on the bed, looked pale, with a mark on her neck. The imperial physician who had seen her before said that if it had been a little later, the Crown Princess would have really lost her life. It was just a little bit, really just a little bit.
Such a Liu Jingyu was originally pitiable. When Pei Luoan left before, he was indeed full of sympathy and repeatedly promised that Liu Jingyu would never suffer such a great injustice again. He even fed Liu Jingyu medicine personally and comforted Liu Jingyu again and again with extreme patience and gentleness.
No matter how much Liu Jingyu regretted before, she now felt that the prince also had feelings for her, but there were too many other things that made it difficult for the couple to open up to each other.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats her like this in the future, she will not pursue the previous matters any further.
As the Crown Princess, she will have to rely on the Crown Prince in the future. This is good.
Now, hearing the noise, she looked up at the prince. Pei Luoan was facing her with his back to the light. For a moment, she couldn't see the expression on Pei Luoan's face. She only said softly, "Your Highness."
Her neck was strangled, and her voice was hoarse, making it very difficult for her to speak. She only shouted this one sentence before she couldn't utter any more.
Pei Luoan took two steps forward and sat down in front of Liu Jingyu's bed. He reached out and picked up Liu Jingyu and put a cushion for her. Such a warm expression made Liu Jingyu so excited that she almost burst into tears.
Therefore, what she thought before was wrong. How could the prince be unfaithful to her
"Your Highness," Liu Jingyu said with difficulty.
"Stop talking and take good care of your voice. It's the right thing to do now." Pei Luoan advised gently, "Don't do such stupid things again in the future. You are my crown princess, so I have to protect you for the rest of my life. How can I let you go down such a path? You should also be more open-minded."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Liu Jingyu was so moved that she shed tears. Since she married into the Eastern Palace, she had never been treated so gently by Pei Luoan.
All the resentment, anger and all the previous grief were soothed by these gentle words.
Pei Luoan reached out and took her hand, gently holding it: "You and I are husband and wife. Even though Hanyue married me before, you are the only one who is truly married to me. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you. I will remember all the grievances you have suffered for me, and I will remember them forever."
Liu Jingyu couldn't help but shed tears. In the prince's heart, Ji Hanyue, whom she had always cared about, was not as good as herself. At that time, Ji Hanyue was just married. In fact, she and the prince were not a real couple. Only herself, there has always been only herself.
These words were all on her mind.
"Your Highness, I am willing to endure greater grievances for you. I am willing to..." Liu Jingyu cried so hard that she could not speak, and could only utter these two words hoarsely.
"Thank you for your help. I had no choice at that time. The prince born to Queen Yuan died last night." Pei Luoan sighed and whispered in Liu Jingyu's ear.
Tears welled up in Liu Jingyu's eyes. He opened his mouth but found that no sound came out.
"My father was so angry that he vomited blood and locked up King Jing. He originally wanted me to supervise the country, but you are so seriously injured now, I really don't want to be with you. It is a bit inconvenient at this time."
"Your Highness, there is no inconvenience for me." Liu Jingyu said anxiously, her breathing quickened. She understood that this was a good opportunity.
If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will have another chance.
The Crown Prince is the regent. If anything happens to the Emperor while the Crown Prince is the regent, then all the consequences will naturally be the Crown Prince's responsibility.
Holding Pei Luoan's hand, Liu Jingyu's eyes were anxious. As long as the prince ascended the throne, she would be the most noble woman in the world.
At this moment, she almost forgot the pain and shame she suffered.
As long as she is the queen, no one will dare to talk about what happened last night. Those things will be forgotten and disappear from everyone's memory.
"I'm afraid it's still a little bit difficult." Pei Luoan sighed, "I know this is a good opportunity, but your health is not good, everyone in the palace knows it, and I also said before that I would take good care of you, so it's inconvenient to handle affairs at this time."
"Your Highness, I know that you love me deeply, but at this moment, you should consider not me but..." Liu Jingyu pointed his chin towards the direction of the palace.
Both she and Pei Luoan were ambitious and felt that everything there should belong to them.
There was a slight blush on her pale face, and Liu Jingyu's eyes were excited. "Your Highness, please go and tell the Queen that I will be fine. I just did something stupid once, and I will never do such a stupid thing again. You don't have to stay with me. You are the crown prince, and you have your own state affairs to deal with. How can you harm the world's affairs for my own affairs?"
"If I say this now, people will think I'm playing hard to get. I have no choice but to give up this time. It's also because I said before that I would take care of you." Pei Luoan shook his head and said helplessly.
"Your Highness, what do you want me to do so that you can become the regent?" Liu Jingyu understood and asked after gritting her teeth. She was not stupid, she just didn't think too much about it just now.
Whether for the prince or for herself, sometimes she had to give in and cooperate with the prince.
"If Yue Wenhan can feel your forgiveness, this matter should be almost over." Pei Luoan looked at Liu Jingyu lovingly, his eyes full of meaning, "It's just that Yue Wenhan forced your mother so much, I really can't bear to let you do this again. I have let you down before, and I can't do it again..."
"Your Highness, I will obey your will." Liu Jingyu pushed Pei Luoan's head away, forced herself to get up, and buried her head deeply in the quilt.
"The prince has been arrested?" Liu Lanxin asked anxiously. She was still plotting against the baby in Qu Qiuyan's belly, so how come even Pei Yusheng was arrested now
"The prince is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple. It is said that he is the prince," the eunuch following Pei Yusheng stammered.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly." Liu Lanxin slammed the table and scolded harshly.
The eunuch calmed himself down and then told Liu Lanxin all the information he had heard. After Liu Lanxin finished listening, her face became even colder.
She knew about the prince born to Empress Yuan. She had talked about this with Pei Yusheng before, and talked about how the new prince's arrival in Beijing would affect Prince Jing's Mansion!
Now he is dead, and he died outside the capital. The most important thing is how this matter is related to Pei Yusheng.
"Princess, please save the prince. The prince is really innocent." After the eunuch said this, he began to cry.
Liu Lanxin scolded in annoyance: "Shut up!"
The eunuch didn't dare to make any more sound. He just wiped his tears and looked at her pleadingly. Now that Prince Jing was in trouble, the person he should rely on the most was the Princess Jing.
"Did the Imperial Concubine say anything?" After turning around twice, Liu Lanxin suddenly remembered her mother-in-law who was her favorite concubine, and asked.
"The Imperial Concubine wants you to find a way to contact some people." The eunuch wiped away his tears and lowered his voice.
"Who?"
The eunuch took out a list from his bosom and handed it over. There were several names on it. The eunuch's voice became lower and lower: "Princess, the Royal Concubine wants you to pass on the news to these people. The Royal Concubine is inconvenienced in the palace."
"Me?" Liu Lanxin pointed at her nose. Pei Yusheng had hidden many things from her and only asked her to take care of the inner house. How could Concubine He trust her so much at this time
The eunuch nodded in affirmation: "The Imperial Concubine said that you and His Royal Highness Prince Jing will prosper together and suffer together. If His Royal Highness Prince Jing gets into such a big trouble, the entire Prince Jing's Mansion will be in jeopardy."
Liu Lanxin's face darkened. Of course she understood what was said, otherwise she wouldn't be so panicked. Even if her father was a general assisting the country, if he was implicated by King Jing, it would be useless no matter how long her father's hand stretched. Even if she escaped by chance, she would never be able to show her real name in front of people again. She could only be an ordinary person, the more ordinary the better.
How could she be willing? She was born to be a queen. She had a blessing from God, so everything in front of her was temporary.
"Princess, the Imperial Concubine also said that after this incident is over, she will definitely ask the prince to treat you well. If you are wronged, no matter what, the Imperial Concubine will definitely take care of it for you. The prince is now imprisoned. If he knew that you have done so much, he would definitely be grateful to you."
The eunuch was Pei Yusheng's confidant, so of course he knew what to say at this moment. His panic and helplessness just now only made it easier for the princess to help the prince.
Liu Lanxin's eyes fell on the list in front of her: "How do I notify these people?"
"Princess, use your manpower. You can only use your manpower now, otherwise we will be discovered." The eunuch lowered his voice and came over.
"Her Royal Concubine said that if we use your manpower, even if someone finds out, it's just a normal move by the Princess to save the Prince, there won't be any problem."
The eunuch said.
As for the affairs in the backyard, even if the wife in the backyard has some tricks, they will not be in the eyes of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. For them, as long as nothing serious happens in the backyard, they are all trivial matters. It is nothing for a wife to seek help everywhere in a panic.
King Jing has not been convicted yet, so the activities of his wife are not restricted.
Liu Lanxin also understood this, so she held the list in her palm and gritted her teeth: "Okay!"
The eunuch came forward and whispered to her again about Concubine He's plan.
What should be done at this time is not to top it, but to show sympathy for Empress Yuan and the prince born to her, and to express recognition of the legitimacy of this prince.
Before his death, the Jing Palace had not expressed its position, and the King of Jing had not discussed this brother, but now the Jing Palace has made it clear that the prince born to the Queen is the real prince, the real future crown prince.
