Everyone in the room's faces suddenly changed. Princess Yi Yu, who had been so imposing, also looked unhappy and even took a step back unconsciously.
When she took a step back, Qu Qiuyan and Qu Caiyue followed suit and took several steps back, standing slightly behind her, with their heads bowed.
Xie was shaking like a sieve. She was still being forced to kneel on the ground. She sensed that the two maids who were restraining her had already knelt down, but she didn't have the strength to stand up again.
Everyone knows the reputation of the King of England. The reason why she dared to come to the King's Palace was that she knew that the King of England would never come to the Princess of England, and she had no chance of meeting the King of England.
She didn't dare to see the King of England on normal days, let alone now.
The curtain was lifted, and Pei Yuanjun came in with his people. All the maids knelt down. Qu Caiyue hesitated for a moment, then knelt down with a plop, bowing her head deeply to the ground.
Qu Qiuyan wanted not to kneel, but she couldn't stand, her body went limp, and she knelt down as well.
Hanyu bent down. She was a junior, and the title of princess could not suppress the King of England. She had a bad temper, but that did not mean she was stupid. This matter had nothing to do with her, but she heard that the King of England had an even worse temper. It was the Princess of England who was in trouble. Not to mention that there was a reason for it, even if there was no reason, did she have to explain if the King of England wanted to punish her
Everyone else in the room knelt down.
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.
Only Qu Moying was lying on the bed, she turned sideways and looked at Pei Yuanjun calmly as he came in, with even a slight smile on the corner of her lips. The hanging gauze curtain concealed her breath tightly, and no one noticed that the "patient" lying on the bed had woken up at this time.
The kneeling people only saw the brocade robe sliding past them, and then a very elegant voice: "What happened?"
The voice was so elegant that it was hard to believe that this notorious British king actually sounded so handsome...
"Your Highness, it was... it was the Second Madam of the Qu Mansion who deceived our master and caused him to be in an unknown condition. It's all the fault of the Qu Mansion." Yu Xiu knelt down and walked forward to complain, crying.
"Tell me more details." Pei Yuanjun said lightly, standing in front of the bed with his hands behind his back.
Yuxiu cried as she recounted the entire incident. She was very articulate and explained the cause and effect of the incident very clearly. Although she didn't say much, everyone present understood it after she finished. They all lowered their heads and looked at the floor tiles in front of them. They really thought that Mrs. Xie was crazy.
How dare she come up with such an idea? This would involve burying the entire Qu family with her.
It would be fine if nothing happened to Princess Ying. If something really happened to Princess Ying, Qu Zhizhen would have reached the end of his career as a minister. The King of Ying could take action even if no one else had committed any crime against him. What's more, this time he was really in trouble. The Princess of Ying actually pretended to be sick and threatened him to intercede for Qu Zhizhen, saying that he would become the Minister of Works again.
The Qu family is crazy, Qu Zhizhen is crazy...
Princess Yiyu knew that her reputation was not very good, but compared with the King of England, her reputation was like the relationship between the stars and the bright moon, and they were incomparable.
After secretly taking a look at the Princess of England lying on the bed, Princess Yiyu sighed heavily in her heart. This Princess of England was really stupid.
At home, she relies on her parents, and after getting married, she relies on her husband. She has such a strong backer, but she is still so weak and gullible. She actually let Xie fool her. I just heard from the doctor that her foundation was injured. This is a big deal.
, the King of England is not young anymore and it’s time for him to have an heir.
Princess Yiyu had heard this from her mother many times.
Right now... it looks like the legitimate son will have to wait for a while, or even...
She didn't dare to think about this matter any further, for fear that if she did, everyone in the room would be implicated. If she had known that the matter was so serious, she should not have come. So what was she doing here today
"Minister Qu wanted an official position... and went to find my princess, causing my princess to almost lose her life! Good... very good, Minister Qu is really generous." Pei Yuanjun did not get angry but smiled instead.
But this sinister laughter made the people present feel frightened. They always felt a chill behind them. Everyone had a bad premonition and felt that something big was about to happen.
Everyone who is here now cannot escape.
"Someone, take all of them..." Pei Yuanjun said slowly. Everyone's heart was in their throat, and there was despair in their eyes.
"Cough cough cough" a heavy cough came from the bed, breaking the silent space where the tone paused.
Pei Yuanjun stopped talking, and the room became strangely quiet for a moment. Then, there was a slight movement on the bed, and no one dared to look up.
Then they heard Pei Yuanjun's footsteps, probably walking towards the bed, and they breathed a sigh of relief because they almost suffocated just now.
Not to mention that they were just women in the inner court, even the ministers of the dynasty would feel extremely pressured when facing the King of England, not to mention them, all of them felt like they had survived a calamity.
Fortunately... Fortunately Qu Moying woke up.
"Awake?" A clear and elegant voice spoke, just like usual, as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty?" Qu Moying's voice sounded very weak, "Why... why are you here?"
"Are the medicines and incense you use all from the Qu Mansion?" Pei Yuanjun's voice was free of a trace of anger.
"Yes..." Qu Moying said timidly.
"Want to ask for an official position for your father? Let me go to the palace and say a few good words for your father?" Pei Yuanjun continued to ask.
"Your Highness!" Qu Moying spoke in a panic, but she did not make any excuses. In the current situation, there was no way to argue. Princess Yiyu felt that the Princess of England was at least someone who could understand the situation and was not the stupidest.
"What if I don't want to? Will you stay sick like this until you die?" Pei Yuanjun smiled, his voice even a little gentle.
The hairs of the kneeling people stood up.
"No... No, if it really doesn't work, forget it." Qu Moying shuddered a little when he heard this, but at least he was telling the truth.
"What about now?" Pei Yuanjun paused and asked again.
"Now... it's... I'm the one who was wrong. I won't do it again in the future." Qu Moying admitted her mistake obediently, without any burden of being the Princess of England.
Hanyu felt that Princess Ying was quite wise, knowing that explaining further at this time would only make the King of Ying even angrier.
If this person gets angry, something bad will happen.
She didn't think the King of England could remain calm about this matter, and she only hoped that the Queen of England could be smarter.
"Is there a future?" Pei Yuanjun asked with a smile. He just stood there, asking and answering questions with Qu Moying, and he sounded very gentle.
Of course, the sinisterness behind this gentleness depends on each person's experience.
At this moment, Xie would rather faint, hear nothing, and know nothing.
"There is no future!" Qu Moying said obediently, but it was obvious that she was very hesitant. She hesitated for a long time, and the pressure in the room increased a lot. Many people could feel the cold sweat on their foreheads coming out and sliding down. Finally, they heard Qu Moying's response, which relieved the depression in the room...
To some extent, Qu Moying's words saved them.
"That's good!" Pei Yuanjun was very pleased to hear this. The two people seemed to have made some decision between their questions and answers, but no one present understood it.
Princess Yiyu really didn't understand a thing. She wanted to look at the other people around her and ask them to give her a hint, but she knew very well that she couldn't move at this time. If she moved, her life might be in danger. Her mother said that even if she was a junior, she must not let the King of England show mercy when facing him.
It's best to back off.
Why was she so upset today that she suddenly came to my house
Qu Caiyue knelt on the ground. She had no ideas now and just wanted to go back home. Although King Jing was very powerful, he was nothing compared to King Ying. The voice in her ears was gentle, but what she thought of was the river of blood and her own death.
Even if I died here, King Jing would not say much, because I was not favored in the first place.
Of course, what does it matter if she is favored? It would be the same if Qu Qiuyan died here. Even if her status is higher than hers, the result would be the same. She is sure that King Jing will not confront such a King of England for Qu Qiuyan.
There was an inexplicable feeling in her heart. At this moment, she and Qu Qiuyan were finally equal. She didn't need her to please him, nor did she need her to plot against him secretly. Qu Qiuyan was really nothing...
"Let the imperial physician take another look at the princess." Pei Yuanjun's robe slid past everyone and then disappeared in front of everyone.
Gone, just like that
The people kneeling on the ground were unable to react for a moment and could not believe that this was real.
Mrs. Xie was sweating profusely and wanted to look up to see if she was really gone. Suddenly, she heard the voice of a eunuch: "Since this medicine is so good, come and feed some to Mrs. Xie."
Just now Yuxiu pointed out that Xie still carried this medicine with him.
"No..." Xie suddenly trembled. Before she could utter the second word, two eunuchs came over. One held her down, and the other searched out a packet of medicine powder from her sleeve, and poured it directly into her without even looking at it. He walked to the table, picked up a glass of cold water on the table, walked over, pinched her mouth, and roughly drank it all.
Then he pinched her mouth.
Xie almost choked to death. After finally swallowing the medicine foam in her mouth, she fell heavily to the ground, twitching into a ball.
"Someone, send Madam Qu back home." The eunuch said in a sharp voice.
This time, a guard came over and dragged Xie by the collar, directly outside the house. A maid from the Prince of Ying's mansion came over and escorted her out...
"Princess Yiyu, I'll have to trouble you to report this matter to the palace." Ji Hai said with a shrill voice and a grin.
"No trouble, no trouble, not at all." Sensing that the King of England had left, Princess Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment just now, she really felt that she could not escape. It's good now, it's good now.
She knew what she was going to do next, reporting to the palace...
