Liu Jingyu panicked. She never thought that the trouble would happen to her. She knew nothing and was the most innocent. Why did the trouble fall on her
She almost died!
Liu Jingyu didn't dare to think any further. She just wanted to divert everyone's attention away from the Liu Mansion.
She couldn't let anyone else investigate her mother's affairs without first investigating them, not even the crown prince.
Mother must be buried as soon as possible
Today is the day that Madam Liu will be buried. Liu Jingyu brought people to the Liu Mansion early in the morning. Lord Liu presided over this matter, and Liu Jingyu assisted.
Yue Wenhan also came. Today was Madam Liu's funeral, and he had to attend to express his humility to the Dali Temple towards Madam Liu.
Madam Liu’s death caused such a big incident that Yue Wenhan was also implicated. He was dismissed from his position at the Dali Temple in the past few days and is now waiting for his death.
Upon hearing that Yue Wenhan was coming, Liu Jingyu asked someone to invite him to the next room of the mourning hall.
Liu Jingyu and the servants of the Eastern Palace were resting here.
Yue Wenhan entered the room and bowed to Liu Jingyu: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Crown Princess."
"Master Yue," Liu Jingyu raised her tear-stained eyes and looked at Yue Wenhan. Her voice was hoarse and her throat had not recovered yet. "Mother's matter is in the past. Master Yue, you don't have to worry about it."
“Since this matter of Crown Princess is related to the Dali Temple, I will not shirk my responsibility.” Yue Wenhan said with a serious face.
"This matter has passed. I entered the palace because I was angry at the time. But now I think I was wrong. Mother was in poor health and in a bad mood. She had some disputes with father that day. Even if it was not Lord Yue, there might be other things that made mother unable to get over it for a while." Liu Jingyu said magnanimously.
"Her Majesty the Crown Princess is very generous." Yue Wenhan said respectfully.
Not only did he cause trouble in the palace before, but he also hanged himself in the Eastern Palace. Such a big thing happened, but now he said that nothing happened. This change is too big, and Yue Wenhan can't change it for a while. He thinks there must be something else. "If the Crown Princess has any instructions, I will do my best to do it."
"This matter has passed. I also told the Crown Prince that I was wrong about this matter. This matter has nothing to do with Master Yue. The Crown Prince has already explained this matter to the Minister of the Dali Temple. This matter will not implicate Master Yue in the future."
Liu Jingyu said.
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and a palace maid holding a huge gift box came out from behind him.
"Lord Yue, I am indeed at fault for this matter. If I have caused any confusion to Lord Yue, it is also my fault. The Crown Prince has repeatedly reminded me that I am not only his mother's daughter, but also the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. I must not lose my manners. Wrong is wrong, right is right. It was not my intention for things to turn out like this. This gift is my apology to Lord Yue."
Liu Jingyu was speaking today from the position of a crown princess, and she also explained what had happened before.
Letting go may not necessarily mean letting go of her feelings, but she is the Crown Princess and she should put the country first and then her family. What she is doing now shows her magnanimity on the one hand, and on the other hand it also shows that for the sake of national affairs, she, the Crown Princess, may put aside her family affairs and is willing to apologize to Yue Wenhan.
"I dare not do that." Yue Wenhan said anxiously.
"It is indeed my fault in this matter. Lord Yue, are you unwilling to accept my humility?" Liu Jingyu asked.
"I dare not do that." Yue Wenhan said.
"What is there to be afraid of? Even if it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has to admit it, let alone me." Liu Jingyu sighed and asked the palace maid to bring the gift box forward.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Yue Wenhan had to accept it, and then retreated to the door. Looking at the huge gift box in his hand, Yue Wenhan could only let the servant hold it in his hands as he walked out.
Ever since Yue Wenhan was summoned away by the Crown Princess, several officials present had all been paying attention to this side. This time, they saw that Yue Wenhan was not only not reprimanded, but he even received a big gift. They all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Some people who had a good relationship with Yue Wenhan hurried over to inquire about this matter. After listening to Yue Wenhan's implicit words, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Has the Crown Princess come to terms with it? She came to terms with it on her own, and she's so generous. So what was the fuss about before
The thunder is so loud, is there no rain
If it weren't for the rumors out there now, everyone might have really believed it.
But now with those rumors, people wonder if the Crown Princess is guilty. Is this series of events really related to her? Some people even wonder if Madam Liu's death is also related to her
Is this fickle Crown Princess really the dignified and decent Crown Princess as previously rumored
Wasn't she really trying to hide something
Everyone present who noticed Yue Wenhan's side began to think silently, was the Crown Princess' change due to the rumors outside
"Where is the Crown Princess?" Liu Lanxin appeared at the mourning hall with several maids and old women. She did not rush forward to pay her respects, but asked the servants of the Liu Mansion first.
"Princess Jing." Liu Jingyu's figure appeared in a side room.
After explaining Yue Wenhan's matter, she led her people out and was about to go to the mourning hall. When she saw Liu Lanxin coming, she greeted her gently.
The prince meant that we should be kinder to the people in Prince Jing's mansion at this time.
When Liu Lanxin got close to her, Liu Jingyu realized that something was wrong with her. Her eyes were angry and her face was pale. "My Lady Crown Princess, did someone from our palace offend you?"
"Why do you say that, Princess Jing?" Liu Jingyu's smile faded and she asked unhappily.
"Princess Consort, do you still remember my previous visit to the Eastern Palace?" Liu Lanxin asked.
"Of course I remember. Didn't they say that Princess Jing would come over today?" Liu Jingyu asked back. He felt something was not right. Although his face was calm, his heart was in knots.
"Then Princess Consort, do you still remember what I told you, that Concubine Qu in our mansion is pregnant?" Liu Lanxin said word by word.
Yue Wenhan and some of the people around him who were about to follow him away all stopped.
The concubine of Prince Jing's mansion is pregnant? This is a big deal, especially at such a critical time. Although the emperor's sons have married, none of them has given birth to children. If the concubine is pregnant with a son, he will be the future eldest grandson of the emperor.
With the presence of the eldest grandson, the emperor might consider this as a reason to release Prince Jing.
"Princess Jing mentioned this to me specifically." Liu Jingyu did not comment, but emphasized the word "specifically".
"That day, I did accidentally talk about this matter with the Crown Princess when I went to the East Palace, but I didn't say anything more after that. I only said that I would go to the Liu Mansion to pay homage today and I had an appointment with the Crown Princess, is that right?" Liu Lanxin looked furious. Her once heroic face was now pale and angry.
"It is indeed an appointment." Liu Jingyu said cautiously.
"The Crown Princess knew that I would come here, and also knew that Concubine Qu would definitely come with me at this time, so did the people in Liu Mansion push Concubine Qu into the water?"
Liu Lanxin pointed in one direction with trembling fingers: "When we entered the mansion just now, Concubine Qu was weak and walked behind. I was anxious to come to see the Crown Princess first, but I didn't expect that something happened not far from Concubine Qu. Concubine Qu was pushed into the water by a maid in your mansion. I would like to ask the Crown Princess, what is the reason for this? Why can't you accommodate a concubine?"
It was already shocking that a concubine was pregnant, but what did it mean that this concubine was pushed into the water by the maid of Liu Mansion
The concubine of Prince Jing is pregnant, but no one in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace is pregnant. Does this mean that the next generation of the emperor's eldest grandson will be born in Prince Jing's mansion
The original reason why the prince became the prince was because he was the eldest son. But now that his status as the eldest son has become questionable, he only has the title of the eldest son.
Now that this eldest grandson has been born, will he be even more favored by the emperor? In the future, the throne may also fall into the imperial palace because of the eldest grandson
Some of the people standing aside and coming to pay their respects had close ties with the royal family. They immediately understood the meaning of Liu Lanxin's words and their faces became heavy.
Could it be possible that the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace really did such a thing
The Crown Princess has a fickle personality and can go to extremes in many things. It is really hard to say what happened in this matter. Who knows if she thought that the concubine in Prince Jing's mansion had snatched the position of the Emperor's eldest grandson and took action directly
After all, this man had committed suicide before because of matters concerning his biological mother.
Hanging herself because of her biological mother's affairs has never happened in history. In which dynasty or generation would a princess do such a shameful thing.
Since such a thing can be done, it seems that such a thing is not so difficult to solve now.
"What nonsense is Princess Jing talking about?" Liu Jingyu was also annoyed, his face darkened, "I was just talking to Lord Yue about what happened before, and we have all forgiven each other, why did Princess Jing bring up Concubine Qu? I don't even know when Princess Jing brought Concubine Qu here."
There is a funeral today, and the victim is the Crown Princess's biological mother, so many people have come. Even if it's not for the sake of the Liu Mansion, everyone would make this trip for the sake of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
There are many people coming and there are not enough people to receive them. However, the main purpose of today is worship, so some people just worship and offer gifts and leave, so there is no need to receive them.
Of course, there are many people coming and many chaotic places. Liu Jingyu has now married into the Eastern Palace and is unwilling to meddle in the affairs of the Liu Mansion. Besides, she is of an unusual status and no one will look for her if there is something wrong. She really does not understand some things.
"Crown Princess, our prince has been imprisoned because of you. Now we have to wait for the emperor to question us again. Now there are only a few weak women in our house. If the Crown Princess really can't tolerate us, we are willing to die in front of her."
Liu Lanxin was extremely angry and said this very sharply, directly accusing Liu Jingyu of wanting to harm the baby in the concubine's belly, putting herself in a weak and sad position.
"Princess Jing, isn't it too arbitrary to say that it was our family's doing before the matter has been thoroughly investigated?" Liu Jingyu was anxious and angry, but she had to suppress her anger in order to prevent Liu Lanxin from saying anything unpleasant.
Now that Prince Jing's Mansion is at the center of the storm, so is his own East Palace.
Liu Lanxin waved her hand, and a maid came out from behind her. She knelt down in front of the two people and told them everything that had just happened.
