Liu Lanxin's letter was very polite. She first asked about Qu Moying's health, and then said that she had originally wanted to come over to visit, but was afraid that Princess Ying's health was not convenient for her to see guests. When she heard that the Crown Princess had not even seen her, she could only ask someone to send some good medicinal herbs over, hoping that it would help Princess Ying's condition.
Then he took the opportunity to talk about the most talked-about matter in the capital now, the envoy from Northern Frontier. He said that King Ying went to pick him up outside the city, and that this matter was related to King Jing. King Ying also said that he wanted to come to the mansion to discuss the matter with King Jing. There was also a secret matter, and Liu Lanxin talked about it without any hesitation.
It was about the Crown Prince and Princess of Northern Frontier. It was said that the two siblings were now in the capital, and King Jing was ordered to look for them.
I lament that no one knows what happened in the Northern Frontier. How could a prince of a country travel all the way to the capital of the Great Zhou, and in hiding his identity
At this point, Liu Lanxin mentioned that she also saw a very beautiful woman that day, and she didn't know which family she was from but she came out incognito.
Even the prince of the Northern Frontier can travel incognito, let alone other people. However, she felt that such a woman was unusual no matter how she looked at her.
How could an ordinary family have such a beautiful woman? Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to keep her.
The last sentence was a joke, and then he brought it back to ask the British princess to take care of herself...
Liu Lanxin's letter was full of affection and had a clear purpose. Its main purpose was to check on Qu Moying's health and explain why she did not come in person. It could be said that it covered all aspects. Some of the rumors and statements in it were, of course, also for the previous purpose.
After reading it, Qu Moying handed the letter to Yuxiu, who took it and read it carefully.
"My Lord, I don't think Princess Jing would tell you such gossip, especially about Northern Frontier and that woman. Why do I feel... something is not right?" After reading the letter, Yu Xiu shook it gently, feeling somewhat puzzled.
"In your opinion, if it is normal, what should we say?" Qu Moying smiled.
"If it's normal... it should be just some simple greetings. As for other rumors in the capital, I think Princess Jing will not tell her master much, especially here... it's very strange." Yu Xiu pointed at the few words about the woman, "It seems to be a casual chat, but... when did Princess Jing and the master have such a relationship that they can chat?"
Relationships where one can chat are relatively good. If this letter was written by Miss Qi, Yuxiu thought it was normal. Before her master got married, she had a very good relationship with the eldest lady of the Duke of Qi's mansion. At that time, when they were doing needlework together, they would also chat about some gossip in the capital.
When everyone is chatting and laughing and doing needlework, time will not seem to pass slowly.
But if this matter happened to Princess Jing, it would seem inharmonious no matter how she looked at it, especially now that her master was seriously ill, and she didn't have the leisure to care about other women's affairs. Although the affairs of the Northern Frontier concerned the prince, this matter was far away from the inner court. Could it be that she wanted to involve the prince
Yuxiu couldn't figure it out, so she said directly: "Master, could it be related to the prince? Is there something wrong with Beijiang, or is the story about the prince and princess in Beijiang fake?"
Yuxiu felt that this was the biggest doubt.
Qu Moying smiled and shook his head, took the letter from Yuxiu, read it again, and then pointed to a few sentences in it and said, "This is the key."
She was referring to the woman.
Although Yuxiu was smart, she couldn't figure it out for a moment. She didn't think there was anything wrong with just a few words.
She shook her head in confusion: "I still don't understand."
"You should know who Princess Jing met before, right?" Qu Moying put down the letter in her hand and reminded her.
Yu Xiu was confused at first, then her eyes lit up: "Master said that this woman is Miss Tong? Princess Jing met Miss Tong, so she wrote a letter to tell us? Why did she... do this?"
An Dong had people keeping an eye on Tong Yuzhen's secret meeting with Princess Jing, so Qu Moying naturally knew about it as well.
Although the two kept it secret, Qu Moying never thought that Miss Tong was actually related to Liu Lanxin, and Liu Lanxin had been chasing Pei Yuanjun before...
When the two of them met that day, they avoided other people, and the people from Prince Ying's Palace didn't dare to get too close, especially since there were no other people around at that time. But it was precisely because of this that Qu Moying was even more certain that Tong Yuzhen and Liu Lanxin had a relationship.
Liu Lanxin went up first, and there were not many people there.
Then Tong Yuzhen went up, stayed there for a while and then left. At this time, it was impossible for Tong Yuzhen to have the leisure time to go up and stroll around.
For so many days, she had not left that small courtyard. All her food, clothing and meals were prepared by the maids and the old women. She was recuperating peacefully. But now she suddenly had to travel, and to the back mountain of Qingyun Temple. With her physical condition, she probably couldn't walk that far under normal circumstances.
Liu Lanxin has always been in good health. Except for her eye disease, she is better than the average young lady from aristocratic family in other aspects. Tong Yuzhen is not like that. She is still sick. Not to mention now, she should be sick and weak even at other times. How could she possibly go to such a far and remote place at this time
Moreover, after she left, Liu Lanxin also went down the mountain half an hour later, went to Qingyun Temple, and returned to the city not long after staying there.
The two people came one in front and one behind, not much apart from each other, and seemed to be just stopping at that place occasionally. However, Qu Moying was sure that the person Tong Yuzhen wanted to see was the Princess Jing.
Is there a general behind Tong Yuzhen
"Is the stunning woman that Princess Jing was talking about Miss Tong?" Yu Xiu asked again unconfidently.
"Among all the women in the capital, how many can be described as stunningly beautiful by Princess Jing?" Qu Moying asked back.
Yuxiu thought about it and nodded unconsciously, "Princess Jing has always had a high opinion of herself. When she first came to the capital, she looked down on everyone. The one who could be praised by her must not be an ordinary person... The most beautiful woman back then, whether Princess Jing admits it or not, this... appearance can indeed be considered good."
Speaking of Rong Se Yu Xiu, I still think that the most beautiful woman in the capital is just so-so.
In terms of her exquisite looks and lively appearance, everything was too bland when Miss Tong faced her master.
The so-called number one beauty is only beautiful but dignified, and with her talent, she makes people feel elegant and refined. But now because of her physical condition, she has a more pitiful temperament than the average lady from aristocratic family.
She is dignified yet a bit pitiful, which can indeed make some men fall in love with her.
But... that's all...
"Master, why did Princess Jing do this?" Yu Xiu wanted to understand this aspect, but couldn't figure out the other aspect.
Since Princess Jing is in cahoots with Miss Tong, why would she deliberately expose the matter to her own master? Isn't this just causing trouble for herself
"Master, isn't she worried that this incident will remind you and arouse your vigilance?"
"No!" Qu Moying shook his head. "On the one hand, I may not be able to see anything. On the other hand, I am very sick now. It is difficult for me to even get up. How can I have the energy to care about such trivial matters. If I really get to this point, you guys will not have the energy to pay attention to these. But this letter can exonerate Princess Jing. No matter what happened to Miss Tong, it has nothing to do with her. She is innocent."
Qu Moying's smile was meaningful.
Yuxiu understood very clearly this time: "Master, I understand. I have to go through this matter with you first, so that I can prove my innocence to you in advance. So... Princess Jing will help Miss Tong. This matter also concerns the prince. What will she do?"
"It should be about the prince going to Prince Jing's mansion..." Qu Moying said slowly.
"Then... what should we do now?" Yuxiu was a little anxious.
"Whatever the plan is, let An Dong keep an eye on it. If there is any change, it can be handled as soon as possible. Make sure Miss Tong doesn't suspect anything. Please let her go for the time being. Even if Princess Jing helps her, it won't be excessive, otherwise there won't be such a letter."
Qu Moying said indifferently that the fact that Liu Lanxin could write such a letter meant that she would not intervene in many matters. She had her reasons for intervening, but she was unwilling to do her best to help Miss Tong.
Miss Tong is determined to meet Pei Yuanjun, and this time will be the same.
Liu Lanxin thought that this letter could get her out, but... Pei Yuanjun has never been a person who judges things by courtesy...
In the living room of Prince Jing's mansion, Pei Yuanjun was sitting high in the guest seat, and Pei Yusheng was sitting diagonally opposite him. The two were discussing the affairs of the Northern Frontier.
King Jing specially invited King Ying to his house. Although it was King Ying who went out to greet him that day, King Jing was in charge of the subsequent matters. He had been in the capital and was not familiar with the border affairs. He specially invited Pei Yuanjun to come to inquire about the border war and the customs and habits of the northern border.
Compared to Pei Yuanjun, he really didn't know the specific things over there. Although he had someone to assist him, he still wanted to ask Pei Yuanjun's opinion.
Originally, Duke Yu was invited, but his wife was seriously ill, and Duke Yu was anxious to see her, so he had no time to come. After apologizing to him, King Jing could only wait for Pei Yuanjun's expression, fearing that Pei Yuanjun would not come in the end. Given Pei Yuanjun's personality, it was really possible.
Pei Yusheng was delighted that Pei Yuanjun had come unexpectedly.
"Uncle Wang, is the prince from the northern border really missing, or is he deliberately saying this to confuse people and avoid coming to the capital?" Pei Yusheng put down the wine glass in his hand and asked seriously. His men had a 50-50 guess on this matter. He had never dealt with this prince and didn't know what kind of person he was.
I specifically asked Pei Yuanjun for advice on this matter.
“Since the Second Prince said so, the Crown Prince of Northern Frontier should be in the capital, but…” Pei Yuanjun slowly picked up the wine cup, took a sip from the corner of his thin lips, his sleepy eyes slightly raised, and he stopped talking here.
"Just what?" Pei Yusheng's voice couldn't help but become a little anxious at the critical point.
