Pei Yuanjun stretched out his hand and naturally pulled a strand of Qu Moying's hair, and twisted his slender fingers around it. Then he raised his head and met Qu Moying's watery eyes. She looked at him in astonishment, not understanding the reason for his actions at all.
"Whatever I need, I will come and get it. I'll leave it with you for now." Pei Yuanjun loosened his fingers, and the beautiful hair fell from his fingers in curls.
Then he stood up, straightened his collar, and glanced at Qu Moying with a smile, "I heard that you are going to Dabei Temple tomorrow."
"Does the prince have any instructions?" Qu Moying asked carefully.
Pei Yuanjun stood in front of the bed, his tall figure almost covering her, making it difficult for her to see the expression on his face.
"Indeed, there is. If Pei Yusheng can see Miss Liu again, she can almost go back to the border."
There were too many meanings in these words, and Qu Moying couldn't digest them for a moment, but she nodded anyway. This was what she had promised before: "If the prince thinks it is appropriate, please send a message."
Now it is different from the past. It is more convenient to enter and leave the palace than before.
"No need to send a message. I can tell you now. It's in Dabei Temple." Pei Yuanjun said indifferently.
"But tomorrow... I'm afraid I may not be able to make it in time." Qu Moying thought for a moment and said honestly, there may be a lot of things to do tomorrow, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time.
"Then stay one more night in Dabei Temple." Pei Yuanjun had already made the decision for her.
"It's not up to me to decide on this matter. It depends on what grandma thinks." Qu Moying tactfully refused. If the truth comes out by then, there's no way the lady will stay.
"Whatever I say is okay, you just need to be prepared." Pei Yuanjun snorted coldly and said lazily. Then he stretched out his hand and leaned over to touch Qu Moying's hair twice. Feeling the smoothness like satin, he pressed down with his hand maliciously, causing Qu Moying's little head to lower down. She almost fell on the bed and couldn't help but let out a low "hmm".
When he looked up again, the big hand had left his head. Watching Pei Yuanjun disappear into the night, Qu Moying stood up speechlessly and walked to the window. Does this guy have any bad taste? He closed the window tightly and then lay down again.
I don’t know if it was because I was too focused when talking to Pei Yuanjun just now, but I fell asleep immediately this time.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Yuchun came in to wake Qu Moying up. After helping her wash up, she went to the lady's yard with him.
The lady had also gotten up early and was having breakfast. Qu Moying also had a small bowl of porridge. While they were having breakfast, Qu Qiuyan also came over. They ate some together and then went out together.
This time, the lady only brought two young ladies from the West Mansion, so she prepared three large carriages and one ordinary one. The lady thought it was not good to let the two of them ride in the same carriage, so she specially arranged three carriages.
One car per person, so there won't be any disputes.
Qu Moying originally wanted to bring only one maid, but thinking of what Pei Yuanjun said yesterday, she brought two, including Yuchun and Yudong, and even secretly brought two more sets of clothes. It happened that each person had a carriage, so the maid and her things could all be placed in it without crowding others.
Yudong left first, and now only Yuchun is with Qu Moying
By your side.
Offerings such as incense and candles were placed in the last ordinary carriage. Several ordinary maids who followed to serve were squeezed into the last carriage, while the other personal servants followed their masters in the spacious carriage in the front.
A group of four carriages drove out of the capital early in the morning. When they arrived at the city gate, they slowly drove out of the city and headed towards the Dabei Temple.
What they didn't know was that just as the Qu Mansion's carriage left the city, people from the government office came and temporarily sealed off the city, saying that an assassin had entered the city last night to commit assassination.
The city gate was closed, people inside could not get out, and people outside could not get in, and people became panic-stricken for a while.
Many people were wondering what had happened. The city was filled with people, and soon everyone was talking about it.
It is said that there are assassins in both the Crown Prince's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion, and the Crown Prince and Prince Jing are almost in trouble. Now the city gates are closed because they are investigating the assassins.
The day before yesterday, an assassin tried to assassinate a young lady from an aristocratic family on the street. Now, an assassin has broken into the prince's mansion, and it was the two most promising princes. For a while, everyone was talking about it and speculating in panic that if something really happened, it would not be just a matter of closing the city gates.
Everyone was talking at the city gate, but the people in Qu Mansion didn't know that the carriage quietly entered the gate of Dabei Temple and then arrived at the parking place.
Madam Qu got off the carriage, and the other two young ladies from the Qu family in the two carriages behind also got off.
A monk in charge of reception had already come to greet Madam Qu.
Madam Qu was also a frequent visitor here. The monk in charge of reception welcomed them all to a Zen temple for rest. They had no plan to stay here, nor did they have a prepared incense room for them to stay.
A servant came in hurriedly, came to my nanny, and whispered a few words to her.
Qu Moying looked at the servant who was running with sweat all over his forehead and recognized that he was someone close to Qu Zhizhen. It seemed that something had happened, but he wondered what it was
It would be nice if she could stay in Shengguang Temple for one night, and she wouldn't have to rush.
After hearing what the servant said, my nanny's face changed drastically. She hurried to the lady's side and whispered something. The lady's face also changed slightly. After thinking for a while, she said to the monk in charge of reception: "Master, please find three incense rooms for us. I'm afraid we have to stay here tonight."
"Yes, Madam Qu, I will arrange it right away." The receptionist said with his hands clasped together.
"Thank you, Master!" Mrs. Qu said politely.
"You are too polite, Madam!" The receptionist smiled and left.
"Grandma, what happened?" Qu Moying took two steps forward, sat down next to the lady, and asked softly.
"Something happened last night. It was said that there were assassins in the Crown Prince's Mansion and King Jing's Mansion. The Crown Prince and King Jing were almost in trouble. Concubine Ji from the Crown Prince's Mansion was injured, and Caiyue from King Jing's Mansion...something happened."
Madam Tai said with a heavy face, "Your father just sent me a message, saying that we should stay here for a day. We don't know when the city gate will be opened today, so we should stay here for one night first."
"What, the city gate is closed?" Qu Qiuyan stood up and asked anxiously.
"It should be sealed now. Something has happened in the Prince's Mansion again. I'm afraid we need to conduct a thorough investigation this time." The lady frowned. Accidents have occurred one after another in the Prince's East Palace. This is probably the third time. For this period of time, it is always unlucky for the Prince's East Palace to have so many accidents.
The first time was the prince's wedding.
The prince almost got into trouble, luckily there was the crown princess at that time; the second time was when a fire broke out in the East Palace, which turned half of the sky in the capital red. On that day, Qu Mansion almost got into trouble as well. The lady dowager remembered it very clearly; the third time was this time. I heard that the prince almost got into trouble again, and this time it was the crown princess who was in trouble.
In comparison, although something happened in Prince Jing's Mansion, it was much more peaceful. However, the one who got into trouble in Prince Jing's Mansion was Qu Caiyue. No one knew what happened specifically. After all, Qu Caiyue was the granddaughter of the Lady Dowager. Although she hated her for not making progress, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this moment. She should have not let her go to Prince Jing's Mansion earlier. She didn't expect that something would happen as soon as she entered Prince Jing's Mansion.
The lady was both resentful and annoyed, and also a little worried.
After the Crown Princess got into trouble, she only survived for a few months. Now Qu Caiyue didn't know how serious the incident was. Although she sent people to ask, the Jing Palace did not give the truth.
"Grandma, has something happened to His Royal Highness Prince Jing?" Qu Qiuyan's face changed drastically.
"I don't know. Okay, these things have nothing to do with us." The lady waved her hand impatiently, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
The monk in charge of reception happened to come in and had already arranged a incense room for them. The lady stood up and followed the monk in with her people. Since they had decided to stay, they went to make arrangements first.
There were three small courtyards together. The lady lived in the middle, and Qu Qiuyan and Qu Moying lived on either side.
The old lady was not in good health, so she brought a lot of people with her. Qu Moying also brought two maids with her. Coincidentally, Qu Qiuyan also brought two people with her, Qingju and Nanny Qing. Everyone had quite a lot of people, so the old lady did not need to arrange more people.
Yu Dong went out early in the morning. After taking the incense and candles, she called a carriage. She arrived earlier than Qu Moying. Later, when she saw the carriage of Qu Mansion coming, she hurriedly mixed in the crowd to serve. No one noticed that she had not got on the carriage before. Now that the courtyards were divided, she went out first to bring in the offerings.
Just as they arrived at the place where the carriages were parked, they suddenly heard a noisy sound from the side, as if they were quarreling. Yu Dong took a look and found that there were a few playboys, three or four of them. They were dressed quite well, but just nicely. In Yu Dong's eyes, they were really nothing. It seemed that they had just got off a carriage, and another carriage happened to come by and accidentally bumped into one of them.
In fact, it was nothing serious. These people just stood there and blackmailed people, asking the people in the carriage to compensate them.
The coachman was not to be outdone. He pointed at the ground and said nothing happened. Why were they doing this? Just as they were making a fuss, a maid came out of the carriage, looked up at a few people, and threw out a piece of silver in her hand.
When they saw the size of the silver, the scoundrels stopped arguing immediately, picked up the silver happily, and stopped making unreasonable troubles. The matter was then resolved.
Several rogues walked towards the temple while laughing: "What a coincidence, unexpected wealth, there is actually such a good thing."
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up, there might be something good in there. They called us here so early in the morning, it must be something good!"
"Of course there is something good going on. Follow me, and you might see a beautiful lady later."
"Really? Hurry up."
A few scoundrels walked past Yu Dong, talking and laughing. Yu Dong didn't care at first, but when he saw a scoundrel walking by, he suddenly stopped, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at his back...
