Liu Lanxin was indeed unwilling to swallow such a loss, but she had been warned by Concubine He before she came, and she knew that she could not retreat at this time, otherwise it would be King Jing's responsibility.
Everything in Prince Jing's Mansion depends on Prince Jing. If she pushes Prince Jing out, she will not be in good shape.
"Your Highness, when I learned about this, I wanted to go over, but I was not feeling well at the time. I caught a cold a few days ago and was taking medicine. Princess Ying was ill, and if I went over, not only would I not be able to help her get better, I might also pass on the cold to her, which would be even worse."
As Liu Lanxin spoke, she tilted her head and coughed softly a few times, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief. For a moment, she seemed to be unable to cough, and she looked very uncomfortable.
"Even though they knew that Concubine Qu and Princess Ying had a bad relationship and that Concubine Qu was more likely to have bad intentions, Princess Jing still let Concubine Qu come to her residence. The Jing Palace is really generous."
The Queen said coldly.
"I was wrong... I was wrong in this matter. When I feel better, I will bring gifts to the Prince of Ying's Palace to apologize to the Princess of Ying." Liu Lanxin was very humble.
At this time, she had to endure any injustice she suffered.
Concubine He's words were right beside her ears, making her heart tremble...
Seeing that she was sensible and did not push her son out, Concubine He's expression softened a bit and smiled slightly, "Sister, this matter is also Meishu's fault... I asked Princess Jing to do something before, but I didn't expect this child to be so honest and actually did it by herself without paying attention to her body."
Liu Lanxin took charge of the matter, and Concubine He was willing to help her share some of the burden.
At a time like this, Prince Jing’s Mansion should be united.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and did not respond to Concubine He's words. She knew that Concubine He had already come up with a countermeasure. She wanted to put the blame on Prince Jing, even just a little bit. She did not expect Concubine He to be so cunning.
However, it was not the first day that he knew about Concubine He's cunningness.
"Concubine Qu, do you admit your guilt?" The Queen's gaze fell on Qu Qiuyan again.
"Your servant... Your servant acknowledges your guilt." Qu Qiuyan's body was shaking like a ball. She knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment. Everything that happened next would depend on the Queen's will.
"Concubine Qu has not followed the rules of the boudoir and has shown signs of jealousy. We will send her to a nunnery to practice asceticism for a while on a chosen day!" The Queen Mother said calmly.
Send her to a nunnery to practice asceticism
This was almost like sending her directly to become a nun. Qu Qiuyan had not expected such a severe punishment. She had originally thought that she would be demoted at most. Her body softened and she cried out miserably, "Empress..."
The so-called period of quiet cultivation, how can there be any later stage during this period of time
She is as beautiful as a flower and so young, how could she be willing to become a nun? She still has King Jing and everything in her future, so she doesn't want to do that.
But no matter how unwilling she was, she felt helpless at the moment. Her body was trembling, and she couldn't even continue speaking. She looked around pleadingly, but found no one to ask for help.
No one can save her, no one will come to save her.
His Royal Highness Prince Jing is not here again
Liu Lanxin was still kneeling beside her, with her head lowered and looking respectfully. Concubine He glanced at Qu Qiuyan, as if she wanted to speak up for her, but finally she kept silent.
Whether this matter can be resolved depends on the situation of Princess Ying. If Princess Ying's situation is not good and Prince Jing's Mansion still protects Qu Qiuyan, then it will be difficult to solve the problem.
It was a matter concerning a concubine. She had just been dragged into the matter of her son, and before that she could be said to be unaware of it.
It would be pointless to focus on protecting Qu Qiuyan now.
Although her son meant to ask her to protect him, the situation should be waited and see. If it was really nothing serious, the person would be released eventually. After all, it was not Qu Qiuyan's fault. She was just wrong in breaking the rules and had evil intentions. She was jealous of Princess Ying and wanted to discredit her maliciously.
The other things have nothing to do with her, this is already the least harm...
After the Empress's order was given, Qu Qiuyan was sent out overnight. And not to just any place, but to Xinning Temple. Some of the late emperor's concubines who had no children became nuns there. However, the place where these concubines practiced meditation was different from other places in Xinning Temple, and outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave.
However, one can enter and exit ordinary places. Qu Qiuyan is just practicing in seclusion for a period of time. She has not officially been relieved of her position as a concubine, so she practices in ordinary places with her hair untied. She is accompanied by only a maid. Others are not allowed to bring anything, and they can only carry two simple items.
After bidding farewell to Concubine He in the palace, Liu Lanxin brought her people back to Prince Jing's Mansion. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a eunuch guarding there.
"Princess, the prince invites you over."
Liu Lanxin nodded, followed the eunuch, and turned to go to the study. She must give an explanation for Qu Qiuyan's matter. She had gone with her before, but now she was the only one back. She must explain to Pei Yusheng, although in Liu Lanxin's opinion, this matter was also Qu Qiuyan's own fault.
A mere concubine dares to confront the principal wife without even considering her own status.
When she was in the Qu Mansion, she was the pampered Third Miss Qu, and Princess Ying was just the Fourth Miss who was abandoned aside. But so what? Now that she is married, it is her current status that matters. The current Qu Moying is far from being comparable to Qu Qiuyan, but she rushed forward without considering her own identity and status.
Even if she was facing Qu Moying, she had to be careful and respectful to avoid ruining things...
Pei Yusheng sat in the study with a gloomy face. When he saw Liu Lanxin coming over to pay her respects, he waved his hand and said impatiently, "What is going on? Didn't I tell you to protect Concubine Qu when I entered the palace? Why was she demoted to seclusion, but you came back safely?"
"Your Highness, do you mean that I should go into seclusion and practice?" Liu Lanxin raised her eyes and looked at Pei Yusheng.
Pei Yusheng slapped the table in anger and said, "Is this what I meant? Will you listen? What's going on? Didn't you say it was nothing?"
Liu Lanxin sneered in her heart. It was Pei Yusheng himself who said that nothing was wrong, not her. Now he was blaming herself
"Your Highness, this matter is not something that I and the Imperial Concubine can handle. Now we have to look at Princess Ying. If anything happens to Princess Ying, Concubine Qu won't be able to become a nun, and she might not even be able to save her life." Liu Lanxin said calmly, as if she didn't notice that Pei Yusheng was angry with her.
"What do you mean? You haven't woken up yet? Didn't you say you were awake?" Pei Yusheng said unhappily.
"She woke up but fainted again. Several doctors went to see her, and the Empress and the Emperor were alarmed." Liu Lanxin made a few comments. "If Your Majesty feels that Concubine Qu has been wronged, the head maidservant beside the Empress has suggested that
One sentence said that the prince could go and kneel down to beg the emperor, and the King of England might be with the emperor right now."
Pei Yuanjun is also with the emperor. Should I go there now
There was a flash of fear in Pei Yusheng's eyes. He didn't want to see Pei Yuanjun at this time. He heard that Pei Yuanjun had smashed up the Qu Mansion before. That was his father-in-law's house.
Compared to Qu Zhizhen, his nephew would probably rush over and run into the muzzle of the gun. Even if nothing happened, this guy would blame himself.
Pei Yuanjun has never been a reasonable person.
Now that he sees me, he might beat me up. What can I say? I was beaten a lot when I was young. Even if I joined forces with my two elder brothers, Pei Yuanjun would still beat me. Even if he didn't win this time, he would choose a time to come over next time and beat me up again. Thinking of what happened when he was young, Pei Yusheng felt a dull pain in his back.
I was beaten a lot when I was a child.
"How can we believe what the Queen's people said?" Pei Yusheng said coldly, "You are my principal wife, and everything in the palace is under your control. Why didn't you stop them?"
Liu Lanxin sneered in her heart. She didn't want to get involved in Qu Qiuyan's affairs, nor could she.
In the past, I protected people and never let my own people interfere. Now that something has happened, I am blamed for it. I really think I am easy to bully.
"I don't quite understand what your Highness is saying. Concubine Qu's affairs... I have never been able to intervene. She is a concubine and the one your Highness loves. I am afraid that if I intervene too much, your Highness will be unhappy. But Concubine Qu is indeed very tolerant. It's okay with other people, but how can she scheme against Princess Ying? Now, the matter has come to me. Even if she is wronged, what can I do at this time? We have to wait until Princess Ying gets better before we talk about it."
Although this may not be pleasant to hear, it makes sense.
The anger on Pei Yusheng's face receded a little, and he waved his hand, "Go back!"
It looked like he wanted Liu Lanxin to leave quickly.
Liu Lanxin was almost so angry that she laughed. If she had known that this would be the situation, she would never have married. Now she just felt mocking when she thought about it.
How attentive Pei Yusheng was to me before I got married, but how neglectful he was now. If I were not the daughter of the general who assisted the country, I would probably have been left out in the cold.
However, she has a father, so even if Prince Jing likes Qu Qiuyan, he still has to let her sit on the throne of Princess Jing, and he still has to drive Qu Qiuyan out to practice asceticism.
"Your Majesty, my father's people are about to enter the capital. This matter concerns the major events of the two countries. Otherwise... it will be really bad."
After Liu Lanxin took two steps, she stopped, looked back at Pei Yusheng and said this.
"I know." Pei Yusheng frowned. Compared with Qu Qiuyan's matter, this matter was the most important. Liu Lanxin was right in one thing. After a while, when Princess Ying was fine, he would find a way to get Qu Qiuyan back.
At least no one is wrong.
Thinking of this, his originally anxious mood improved a little. It was not advisable to offend Pei Yuanjun at the moment, so he could only wait for an opportunity.
Is the British princess seriously ill
How could she suddenly become so ill? He felt that the Princess of England was not such a stupid person. Could it be that Qu Zhizhen was so powerful that he could force the Princess of England to take this path
Uncle Wang is not very kind to the Princess of England? Otherwise, why would he take this path...
