It turns out that the King of England is the Emperor's real fifth prince.
Now that the Crown Prince has murdered loyal officials and King Jing has rebelled, it is only natural that the throne will fall on King Ying.
When King Jing rebelled, there were many assassins in the city, many of whom were from the Northern Frontier. Even with the protection of King Ying, many people died in the chaos.
Afterwards, the King of England sent many people to rescue, and the matter was just around the corner. The people in the capital all remembered the King of England’s kindness.
Many people escaped death because of the King of England.
I don’t know when, the once notorious King of England became a person recognized by everyone.
Now hearing that the King of England was actually the prince born to the Emperor and Queen Yuan, a true legitimate prince, and now the crown prince, many people spontaneously knelt outside the King of England's palace to express their recognition and gratitude to the King of England.
The crown prince was cruel and killed even his own crown princess and meritorious officials. King Jing colluded with the rebellion in the northern border and broke into the palace. King Wei was sick and weak. King Yan was brave but not wise. Fortunately, there was King Ying. Fortunately, it was King Ying.
The country is fortunate to have the British king as its prince.
The people were amazed
A dusty man came into the city at this time. When he heard so many things, he was stunned for a moment and could hardly believe his ears.
King Jing's rebellion failed
When he left the capital, King Jing was still fine and had a promising future. How come he suddenly became a rebel now? The crown prince killed the former crown princess and Ling Anbo? Now the King of Ying has decreed that he has become the crown prince
Is this still the same capital city he left
Qu Mingcheng stood at the city gate, his face turning blue, then white, then white, then blue again. He had come back exhausted from the long journey to report his achievement to King Jing, but he did not expect that he would not be able to report his achievement and ended up in the current situation. This was completely different from what he had imagined before.
He had secretly left the capital before to deliver a letter to the border on behalf of King Jing. The letter was an important one addressed to the General Auxiliary to the State. This represented that King Jing valued him, and Qu Mingcheng was very fortunate.
He has lost his fame and fortune now, and his future is even more unpredictable. If something happens that affects his reputation, it will affect his career. Even if he passes the exam in the future, he probably won't be able to rise to the top. His political enemies will dig up his past and keep biting him.
He needs a strong helper, and that is King Jing.
As long as King Jing stood on his side and as long as King Jing ascended the throne in the future, those things would not be a problem. Moreover, King Jing repeatedly assured him that he would release his sister one day, and would dote on her and would never let her suffer any grievances.
His sister will always be his favorite.
The daughter of General Fuguo will only be his principal wife in the future, that's all. If there is a chance, he will definitely help his sister become his principal wife.
My sister is now in the nunnery, and her life is not that bad. She cannot compete with Liu Lanxin now, and she still needs the position of the General of the State. Moreover, her position is still a concubine. If she is promoted, she will become the main concubine.
Thinking of this, how could Qu Mingcheng not be excited
With these assurances from King Jing, Qu Mingcheng went to the border, and now brought an important reply letter from the General Auxiliary State. However, he never expected that the capital city when he left and the capital city when he returned were completely different.
It's not the same as before
Standing at the city gate, Qu Mingcheng almost didn't know where to go.
"Second Young Master Qu?" A maid suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, walked up to Qu Mingcheng, pulled his sleeve and whispered.
Qu Mingcheng looked back and found that it was a maid who looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.
"Which family are you from?" Qu Mingcheng asked.
"I am a maid from the Kangyang Marquis's mansion, serving the Second Young Lady." The maid looked around and said anxiously, "Second Young Master, please follow me."
Someone around Zhou Jinruo
After being stunned for a moment, Qu Mingcheng immediately understood what was going on and turned around to follow the maid away.
The maid walked along the small path, avoiding the main road, and after turning into several alleys, she entered a back door, which was an ordinary sundry shop. There were only a few customers in the shop at the moment, and they didn't pay attention to the maid. She led Qu Mingcheng in and then went to a house at the corner.
The maid opened the door, invited Qu Mingcheng in, and then followed him in.
Inside the door, Zhou Jinruo sat on a chair in the accounting office with her brows tightly furrowed. She had not been having a good time these past few days as she and Qu Minghui had broken off their engagement.
On that day, she had an argument with Qu Minghui. After she returned home to discuss it with her father, her father told her in no uncertain terms that the marriage must be cancelled.
The mansion can no longer withstand any more involvement.
Then he sent someone to cancel the engagement on the grounds that the two parties had incompatible personalities.
The Qu family must have also understood Qu Minghui's opinion, and even though this reason seemed too ridiculous to them, they agreed to cancel the engagement.
Since both parties had this intention, the cancellation of the engagement was extremely simple, without any wrangling, and very quickly. The note was returned, and some of the things that could be returned were returned, and those that could not be returned were left alone. The Qu family did not make any demands on the Zhou family.
Zhou Jinruo's father retreated a little just to show his respect and got a stable life.
Then wait and see the Qu family suffer misfortune
But I didn't expect things to change so quickly. The Prince's Mansion collapsed! Because Qu Xuexin's matter dragged out more and bigger things, and even dragged out the prince's plot to murder the former crown princess and his Yue family. This is a huge matter, and the prince can't bear such a big thing.
So the prince was deposed.
Qu Minghui is fine! With such a big thing happening, who would care about Qu Minghui's little thing
Even King Jing rebelled and the crown prince was deposed. No matter how big the previous incident was, it was not the focus of others' attention at this time. At most, they would say what caused this incident.
What was the cause? The cause was that a concubine in the Eastern Palace was pushed out to pay for the life of another woman. Speaking of this concubine, she was the daughter of Censor Qu. This woman was really pitiful. Not only was she not favored by the prince, but she was also pushed out to pay for another life.
This is the daughter of the Imperial Censor. If she were the daughter of an ordinary family, she would have died a miserable death.
These words were not bad for the Qu family at all. They even felt sorry for the Qu family's daughter. The prince was deposed, and it was impossible for anyone to deal with the Qu family.
So, the Qu family is fine!
The Qu Mansion was fine, but the Prince's Mansion was in trouble. They were afraid of being implicated by the Qu Mansion, which became a joke. The marriage that Zhou Jinruo had worked so hard to get had been cancelled, and the Kangyang Marquis Mansion was dumbfounded.
"Ms. Zhou Er!" Qu Mingcheng stepped forward and saluted. Zhou Jinruo hurriedly stood up to return the salute. The two sides sat down as host and guest.
As soon as they sat down, Zhou Jinruo asked, "Second Master, do you know that something happened in the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Prince Jing's Mansion?" Qu Mingcheng nodded, "What exactly happened?"
There are all kinds of rumors out there, with different reasons and stories, but there is only one thing in common: something happened in both the Prince's Mansion and Prince Jing's Mansion.
It's all over!
Qu Mingcheng still couldn't come back to his senses. The change was too fast. He subconsciously reached out to cover his chest, where there was a reply letter from the General Fuguo.
Should I leave the city immediately and go to the border to report the news to General Fuguo
Zhou Jinruo did not hide anything and told him everything she knew. After she finished, she said, "Second Master Qu, I heard that you went out to play and would return to the capital in the next few days, so I specially sent people to guard the city gate, and they really saw the second master."
"Miss Zhou Er, is there something wrong?" Qu Mingcheng was confused, but he also knew that Zhou Jinruo would not look for him for no reason.
"Before, because of your eldest sister's matter, my father heard that your eldest brother went to the Eastern Palace to make trouble, and he was afraid of being implicated. My father had been implicated because of Duke Yu's matter before, and he was like a frightened bird. He actually went to the Qu Mansion to cancel the engagement without telling me." Zhou Jinruo's eyes reddened and she lowered her head.
"You know, it's not easy for your elder brother and I until now, but father actually broke off the engagement without telling me. After that, I wanted to find your elder brother, but he always refused to see me. I know your elder brother feels wronged about this, but am I not wronged? I don't want to feel wronged either. Father did this for the benefit of the family. It's just our marriage."
Zhou Jinruo wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, then raised his head with an earnest look on his face; "Second Master, I only ask you to ask the eldest master to come out for me. I have something to talk to him about face to face. No matter if our family did something wrong or something else, I hope that the two of us can talk it out clearly between the two of us."
This matter did not sound difficult. Qu Mingcheng nodded, accepting Zhou Jinruo's favor of telling him everything that had happened recently in the capital.
He did not interfere in his elder brother's affairs and just let him do it on his own, but he had no idea what to do.
She stood up and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Miss Tuesday, do you know where my sister is?"
From what Zhou Jinruo said just now, he must have been paying attention to the developments of this accident.
"It seems your sister was assaulted by someone from the Crown Princess's family and had a miscarriage." Zhou Jinruo, who indeed knew something, said.
"My sister had a miscarriage?" Qu Mingcheng suddenly stood up.
"I heard that they were bumped into by the servants of the Liu Mansion when they went to pay respect to Madam Liu. Some also said that it was Princess Jing's intention. The concubine gave birth before the main wife was born. This is bound to cause disputes in the future."
"So this matter has something to do with Princess Jing as well?" Qu Mingcheng gritted his teeth, thinking that he was wholeheartedly helping King Jing, but the person he was in contact with was Princess Jing's father. He felt extremely angry that his own sister was actually harmed by Princess Jing's flattery.
Rather than believing that it was the Crown Princess's family who did it, Qu Mingcheng believed that it was Princess Jing who did it.
"That's what you said, but I don't know the details." Zhou Jinruo said cautiously.
"Thank you Miss Zhou Er. I will keep Miss Zhou Er's matter in mind. I will persuade my eldest brother after I go back. As for the result, I can't guarantee it." Qu Mingcheng bowed. He didn't want to meddle in his eldest brother's affairs now. He would rather deal with the letter in his arms.
He originally didn't know how to deal with this letter, but now he has thought of a way to deal with it.
