Hiding her contempt, Tong Yuzhen stepped forward and bowed to Mo Ying in a proper manner: "Greetings, Princess Ying."
"Miss Tong?" Mo Ying also looked Tong Yuzhen up and down. She was a little different from what he remembered. It seemed that she had not had a good time in the West Prison during this period.
In a place like this, no one can live well even if they do nothing!
Tong Yuzhen was about to answer. Even though she was in such a miserable state now, everyone would respectfully call her Miss Tong when mentioning her, including the Princess of England in front of her.
When she was at the peak of her glory and splendor, the fourth young lady of the Qu family was still living in a manor and was looked down upon by all the noble ladies in the capital.
"Should I still say Madam?" Mo Ying added with a smile.
Tong Yuzhen's face froze. She had her hair in a bun like an unmarried girl, and even though it was messy, it was still noticeable.
"Princess Ying, Yuzhen is not married yet." Tong Yuzhen said.
"Unmarried? Then why do you have contact with the prince of Northern Frontier? I heard that the Duke Jingguo's Mansion was in trouble because of their close relationship with the prince of Northern Frontier, which led to the disaster?" Mo Ying said lightly. She was a little curious why this Miss Tong was still living in a dream.
Even at this point, she was still having delusions, and the one she was fantasizing about was Pei Yuanjun, which made her very uncomfortable.
"Why do you say that, Princess Ying? Our Duke Jingguo's Mansion was harmed by a traitor in the first place." Tong Yuzhen was filled with grief and indignation, her eyes red as she stared at Mo Ying.
"Harmed by a villain?" Mo Ying raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't it? My father and my grandfather are both loyal to the emperor and serve the public wholeheartedly." Tong Yuzhen said angrily. If it weren't for that incident, she would have been the Princess of England by now. How could she allow the woman in front of her to act so domineeringly in front of her
"Loyal? I heard that it was true at the beginning. But later Miss Tong met a man. This man fell in love with Miss Tong at first sight. After he gave Miss Tong many generous gifts, things changed." Mo Ying looked at Tong Yuzhen in front of him and said slowly.
The incident at the Duke Jingguo's Mansion was actually caused by Miss Tong.
Prince Qi Lie disguised himself as an ordinary person and secretly came to the capital. He fell in love with Miss Tong at first sight. At that time, Miss Tong was well-known in the capital. Not only was her status noble, but her behavior was also exemplary.
Prince Qi Lie took advantage of his admiration to repeatedly send gifts to Duke Jingguo's mansion, from Tong Yuzhen to Duke Jingguo and others.
This is also the reason why Prince Qilie, although disguised as a young man from a noble family in the Jiangnan area, was recognized by everyone in the Jingguo Mansion.
Tong Yuzhen naturally wouldn't be attracted by him, but the gift he gave was so much to her and satisfied her, and the value was so great that Tong Yuzhen didn't want to refuse it, so she played hard to get and kept him in suspense, waiting for him to deliver the gift to her house.
Before long, Prince Qilie had established contact with Duke Jingguo. Duke Jingguo had gained so much benefit, and Prince Qilie also had some small leverage over him, so he secretly wrote to Prince Qilie some news he wanted to know. These were all secrets of the Great Zhou.
After leaving behind such an important clue, Prince Qilie returned to the Northern Frontier.
Tong Yuzhen happily sent Prince Qilie away. She got so much money without having to pay anything in return. She even had to be hypocritical and tactful before, but now that the person is gone, it was all for nothing. How could she not be happy
But not long after Prince Qilie left the capital, when Tong Yuzhen was wholeheartedly waiting for Pei Yuanjun to propose to her, the fact that Duke Jingguo was colluding with the enemy was discovered!
After Tong Yuzhen was released by Pei Yuanjun, she met the people left behind by Prince Qilie, who took her to the border and entrusted her to General Liu Xiangshan, who had long had connections with the northern border, to help raise his daughter in his house.
This past was the one that Tong Yuzhen was most reluctant to mention, and it was also the past that she would not admit. But now, Mo Ying had rudely torn off the last fig leaf.
"You... you're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" Tong Yuzhen's face turned pale, she murmured subconsciously, and then suddenly widened her eyes with a sad look, "Princess Ying, I'm just a poor woman, my life is ruined, my family is destroyed, and now I'm the only one left. Can't you tolerate me like this?"
"I don't understand what Miss Tong is saying!" Mo Ying's face darkened.
"Princess of England, you are high above me, of noble status, but I am nothing, lowly as dust. Even if I am by the side of His Majesty the King of England, I still cannot have any good status. All I want is a peaceful room, a place to live in peace, and nothing else."
Tong Yuzhen fell to the ground crying.
Yuxiu showed some anger on her face, and just as she was about to step forward, Mo Ying shook his hand.
"Princess of England, I don't want anything. I just want a place where I can live well. The rest is up to you."
Tong Yuzhen looked not only sad, but also hopeless. She raised her eyes and looked at Mo Ying. The anger she had before was gone, only endless sadness and helplessness. Her hand stretched forward slightly, as if she wanted to grab something, but she couldn't grab anything, and finally fell down powerlessly.
"If the Princess of England doesn't believe me, you can send me to a nunnery. At least there is peace there. The past is over. I just want someone to worship my father and mother, and someone to still think of them. I don't ask for anything, and I dare not ask for anything. Can't the Princess of England tolerate this?"
"Miss Tong, do you think I can't tolerate you?" Mo Ying understood and curled her lips sarcastically. This Miss Tong was really cunning. Even at this time, she was still saying such things. She could recover from the embarrassing situation of being exposed so quickly. Although it was a bit awkward, it was indeed amazing.
"Princess Ying, I'm just a weak woman without a home." Tong Yuzhen coughed twice and wanted to continue, but Mo Ying didn't want to argue with her anymore. She wanted to see Ji Youran, but this Miss Tong just bumped into her.
"Miss Tong, the reason you are here is because of your relationship with the Second Prince of Northern Frontier. You are a criminal. As for what will happen next, it is not for a woman like me to decide, and it is not something that can be resolved by Miss Tong saying some half-truths."
Mo Ying said lightly.
"Princess Ying only begs you to let me go. You can let me do anything." When she saw someone coming to pull her away, Tong Yuzhen was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed drastically in anxiety.
"Miss Tong, why don't you understand? Everything about you has nothing to do with me." Mo Ying said lightly.
"Princess England, aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the King of England will know what you have done to me?" Tong Yuzhen struggled and was unwilling to go back like this. This was her chance, and she didn't want to go back to the dark cell again. She would go crazy.
"Miss Tong, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Miss Tong, do you think the King of England is a bitter lover who is deeply in love but never forgives his enemies?" Mo Ying said with a half-smile, "At this point, Miss Tong, do you think I did all this? This is the West Prison. Can I, the Princess of England, control everything here?"
Tong Yuzhen's body trembled, and she looked at Mo Ying in disbelief. Her lips trembled. This time she didn't say anything. She just looked at Mo Ying with hatred, and then was taken away.
"Master, what does she mean?" Yuxiu asked with a frown, looking at her back. This Miss Tong was beyond her expectations.
"She can do anything to get out of this situation, and she can also force herself to think in the direction that is best for her." Mo Ying said slowly.
"Master" Yuxiu.
Mo Ying shook his hand: "She is not a danger to me now."
Miss Tong should have understood this clearly, which is why she didn't say a word in the end. With her last sentence, Mo Ying broke her self-righteous delusion.
This woman is smart. Her cleverness lies in thinking about everything in a way that is beneficial to her.
In this way, she will show her true feelings, which will be felt by everyone. Her emotions will also make people feel more credible, more sympathetic, and easier to move people.
In fact, after entering the West Prison, how could she not understand that this was Pei Yuanjun's intention, but she was so self-righteous that she ignored it, showing that she was a weak woman who was framed by herself and sent to the West Prison, and now only wanted to escape, just wanted to be with the person she loved, and rebelled against her so-called legal wife.
Unfortunately, he could not allow her to covet Pei Yuanjun, and time and again he shattered her self-righteous personality and all her self-righteous delusions.
Hearing Mo Ying say this, Yu Xiu felt a little relieved. She felt that this Miss Tong was a little abnormal. When she was finally pulled out, the way she looked at her own princess was more like she was looking at an enemy who had killed her father. Her eyes were so gloomy and scary.
She had to tell An Dong that this crazy woman must not be released, otherwise she might do something. And she was so good at pretending, who knew what she would pretend to be next time.
Tong Yuzhen was taken away, and this time it was Ji Youran who was brought up.
Ji Youran's legs were not treated properly. Although he could still walk now, he limped and looked like he could barely stand steadily. Every step he took was shaky.
Yuxiu retreated out the door.
After Ji Youran took a few steps, his feet staggered and he fell heavily to the ground. He looked up at Mo Ying and sneered, "Why is Princess Ying finally willing to see me? You must be asking me for something, right? I never thought that Princess Ying would ask me for something!"
"To see you?" Mo Ying smiled. She didn't come here to talk to Ji Youran about these trivial things today. "I am here to ask you for a favor. Ji Youran, your story has been published!"
"I'm afraid I didn't understand what Princess Ying said." Ji Youran looked up at Mo Ying with a flickering look in his eyes.
"Didn't you understand? What happened on the day of the prince's wedding has been revealed!" Mo Ying looked at Ji Youran and said slowly, with a smile at the corner of his lips that was both stunning and frightening.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Youran retracted his feet and subconsciously retreated backwards.
"Ji Youran, you won't forget what Ji Hanyue said that day?" Mo Ying looked at Ji Youran's actions, with a smile on his face, as if he was talking about something unrelated to her.
But this smile made Ji Youran shudder.
There is no way the British princess would know this, she must be lying to me.
