Madam Liu is not simple
How can it not be simple? Even if she has the ability, she is no match for a woman, but she is actually closely related to Xiao Yue's death.
Considering her identity as a woman from the inner courtyard, there is a lot of meaning in this.
Although so many years have passed since the Rebellion of the Three Kings, there might still be remnants. Thinking of this, Mo Yixuan put away the contempt in his heart, nodded, and slowly sat down.
His eyes involuntarily turned to the King of England sitting diagonally opposite him.
The King of England just sat there, lazily, as if he didn't notice the outrageous words they said. He had squinted his eyes just now, but now he actually closed his eyes. His handsome face was elegant and noble, but that was all. He seemed different from the King of England in the rumors.
Regarding the incident of Li Dai Tao Jiang in the Duke of Qi's Mansion, and the deceitful act committed by the old Duke...
When Mo Yixuan was talking to Qu Moying just now, his attention was on Qu Moying, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He checked his own life experience and was also concerned about his biological mother's life experience. Now that he calmed down, he realized that these words... were actually treasonous.
The King of England also sits here.
The King of England is the Emperor's most trusted minister.
If word of this were to get to the emperor, not only would the Duke Qi's Mansion be in trouble, but the Duke Yu's Mansion would probably also be in danger.
His face suddenly turned pale and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Qu Moying, but he saw that the British princess was looking at him with a smile, as if she didn't notice that he was staring at the British king just now.
Mo Zhixuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and his palms began to sweat.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Qu Moying knew what he was worried about. He recalled that he was furious just now. Now he looked at Pei Yuanjun with caution. Knowing that he had come to his senses, he tried to comfort him, "These are nothing."
If these are nothing, then what is
Mo Zhixuan felt sweat coming out on his forehead. Princess Ying said these words, but he couldn't say them anymore. But now he has already said it.
Look at the smile on the British princess's face, it is gentle and soothing.
Since the British princess doesn't care, he doesn't need to care either: "I will recognize my ancestors and return to my roots."
No matter what, he will trace his ancestral roots and investigate the murder of his biological mother.
"Wait a minute, my lord." Qu Moying stretched out his hand and shook it. "The main reason I invited you here today is for this matter. It's better to think about it in the long run."
"Let's discuss this in the long run?" Mo Zhixuan didn't understand and frowned. "Please let Princess Ying tell you clearly."
"Even if you want to return to your ancestral home, this is not the right time. You should wait a little longer. It is easier to investigate things when you are in the dark than in the light." Qu Moying reminded him, "If you return to the Qu Mansion at this time, not only will you be in the open, but you may also be used by someone with ulterior motives."
The so-called people with ulterior motives, of course, include Qu Zhizhen.
When seeing Mo Yixuan, Qu Moying thought of Xiao Yue. Even if Xiao Yue was not her biological mother, in Qu Moying's heart she was worthy of the title of mother, because she was her mother.
For her mother's sake, she didn't want Mo Yixuan to get involved in the mess at the Qu Mansion at this time.
She had finally tried her best to distance herself from the Madam Dowager. If Mo Yixuan went back in, not only would he be trapped, but the Madam Dowager would also be trapped.
This is what Qu Moying doesn't want to see.
Mo Yixuan lowered his head and said after a long while, “I want to see my grandmother.”
"Okay, I'll arrange for you to meet him." Qu Moying was very satisfied with Mo Yixuan's decision and agreed immediately. After all, Taifuchu was old and couldn't afford to make any more trouble.
However, there is one thing that she will explain to the Madam. It is not the time for Mo Yixuan to return to his ancestral home. He has to wait a little longer until the situation becomes clear. Otherwise, Mo Yixuan may be in danger of death. Please do not tell anyone about Mo Yixuan's identity for the time being.
After convincing Mo Zhixuan, Qu Moying sent Nanny Zhou to secretly explain Mo Yixuan's identity to the Madam, and then Mo Yixuan went to recognize his relationship with the Madam...
Next, the wife of Duke Yuguo entered the palace.
When the wife of Duke Yuguo returned to the capital, the Empress wanted to summon her, but she was too ill to get up at the time, so the Empress did not summon her again. Over the years, she had been ill and had never entered the palace. Even when the ladies of the inner court were allowed to see the emperor in the first year, she did not go.
Now she actually went to visit the sick Princess of England, and also went to Qingyun Temple. If she does not go to the palace to see the Queen and report the matter, she will be charged with a crime.
The next day, Lady Yuguogong entered the palace in full makeup and went to the Pepper Room to pay a visit to the Queen.
The Queen Mother received the wife of Duke Yu in the Pepper Palace.
Seeing Lady Yuguo kneeling on the ground, the Queen Mother smiled gently and asked the palace maid to help Lady Yuguo up and sit her aside.
The wife of Duke Yuguo's wife had a pale face without a trace of blood, and she looked like she had been bedridden for years. Even with heavy makeup on, she still looked like she was forcing herself to be energetic. For someone who had been ill for so many years to be able to stand up now was already a miracle.
It is normal for the wife of Duke Yuguo to look weak.
"How is Madam Guogong's health?" The Queen asked gently as she had tea served, her eyes fixed on Madam Yuguogong's face.
She hadn't seen the wife of Duke Yuguo for many years. When she was in the capital, she was also a famous beauty, a generation earlier than the eldest daughter of Duke Jingguo.
Although she is very frail now, the signs of aging are not obvious on her face, except that her complexion does not look very good.
The Queen thought she had forgotten what the wife of Duke Yuguo looked like, but when she saw her again, she remembered the beautiful yet elegant woman in her memory. However, she was now tortured by illness and looked a little frail, no longer the spirited woman she had been before.
The story of the former wife of Duke Yu marrying Duke Yu is also a good story. The two met while riding horses. From this point alone, we can see that the wife of Duke Yu is different from ordinary ladies. Later, when Duke Yu went to the border, the wife of Duke Yu accompanied him, and the husband followed his lead.
Thinking of the past, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh. The once heroic Lady Yuguo was now just a weak and sick woman in the boudoir.
Liu Jingyu was accompanying them, her eyes curiously falling on the face of the wife of Duke Yuguo. She had heard of this wife of Duke Yuguo for a long time, but had never seen her. She heard that she was different from ordinary girls in the boudoir.
Seeing her now, I can't help but admire her secretly. Even though she is so weak now, you can still see her former beauty. No wonder there was admiration in my mother's eyes when she mentioned the wife of Duke Yuguo.
My mother has never praised another woman before, except for the wife of Duke Yuguo.
But why did she feel that it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before
When he looked more carefully, he still felt nothing and was still sure that he had never seen this wife of the Duke of Yu.
"I'm fine. I haven't come to pay my respects to the Queen for so many years. I hope the Queen will forgive me." Lady Yuguogong sighed and a smile appeared on her pale face.
"You are already so sick, why are you still talking about these things? Now the clouds have finally cleared and the sun has risen, and you can actually go out for a walk. That's good. It's not just me who you haven't seen for so many years, there are also some other old friends." The Queen also sighed and comforted her with a smile.
"Indeed, this time when I came out, I really met someone whom I have always been thinking about." Lady Yuguogong nodded and smiled gently.
"Who?" asked the Queen curiously.
"Your Majesty will know about this soon. Does Your Majesty still remember what happened back then?" Lady Yuguogong's face showed a hint of sadness, and she pressed her handkerchief across her eyes.
The Queen was silent for a moment, then said, "What happened back then... is in the past after all, and you have been tormenting yourself for so long. No matter what, you still have a son. I heard that the Prince of Yuguo is the best in both literary and military strategy, and he has grown up now. What else is there to torment yourself about!"
The Queen Mother naturally still remembered what happened back then. If it hadn't been for this incident, Lady Yuguo would not have fallen so ill and lost her interest in life.
This was also the reason why I did not force the wife of Duke Yuguo to enter the palace at that time.
"Xuan'er is fine... but... but my daughter... my only daughter... she... she..." Lady Yuguogong covered her chest with her hands as tears fell down her cheeks when she talked about this matter. "I would rather exchange my life for hers, just hoping that she can come back."
When he talked about the most painful part, he couldn't stop crying.
The Queen Mother sighed in empathy, wiped her eyes, and then asked the palace maid to persuade the wife of Duke Yuguo.
Liu Jingyu didn't know the inside story. He looked at the wife of Duke Yu, then at the Queen Mother. He didn't dare to speak carelessly and listened to them talking quietly.
"The past is over, Madam Yuguo should look forward. Maybe... she has found a good family, and her life won't be as difficult as you think." The Queen advised again.
This was just talk. Life was already difficult for women in this world, let alone a newborn girl without a father or a mother. It was not certain whether she could survive to this day. Thinking of this, the Queen sighed in her heart. She was the pampered eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but now she didn't know where she had ended up.
Speaking of which, this young lady from the Duke's Mansion has a really miserable life.
After hearing the Queen's advice, Lady Yuguo wiped the tears from her eyes. When she raised her head again, she was already a little pleased: "Queen, I found her."
"Who?" The Queen asked in surprise, unable to react for a moment.
"My daughter." Lady Yuguogong said again, unable to suppress the joy on her face. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but her eyes were already filled with smiles. "My queen, I have found my daughter!"
