The letter finally passed through many hands and landed in Pei Yuanjun's hands.
Liu Xiangshan's letter to Pei Yusheng asked him to be cautious and keep a low profile during this period and to take things slowly. The Second Prince of Northern Frontier came to Beijing for negotiations, but he must be making some moves in secret. He asked him to be careful. Mr. Xiao is his man, and he can also respond by following Northern Frontier's people.
If there is anything he cannot decide, he has to ask Mr. Xiao and discuss it with him. In the letter, Liu Xiangshan expressed his trust in Mr. Xiao.
What came next was the matter of the second princess of Northern Frontier marrying a foreign prince. This was something that King Jing should have specifically explained to the Auxiliary General, explaining the cause of the matter to the outcome up to now, all of which vaguely indicated that it was Liu Lanxin who had caused the trouble herself, and now he was in a difficult situation and was forced to let the second princess into the palace.
Liu Xiangshan also expressed his understanding, but asked Pei Yusheng to be more careful with the second princess, and once again stated that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Moreover, revealing the true identity of the second princess will affect the entire Jingwang Mansion and may even disgust the emperor. Pei Yusheng must not be careless and must not let the second princess give birth to children in the future.
When this letter was sent, the capital was peaceful and tranquil. But now that the letter has come back from the border, everything has changed.
Pei Yusheng was imprisoned, Prince Qilie escaped, and Mr. Xiao was arrested
"What does he want?" Pei Yuanjun asked after reading it leisurely.
Whether the letter exists or not is no longer a problem. It is just one more piece of evidence. The plan was laid early and Liu Xiangshan had already been caught by now.
Duke Yu, Duke Xing and Prince Yan took action together and would go to the capital on a chosen day, so this letter was even more useless.
"He only wants to see Prince Jing's concubine." The eunuch responded carefully.
Pei Yuanjun picked up a cup of tea, tasted it, and said slowly, "Since he wants to see it, let him see it!"
The eunuch wanted to finish his words, but he saw Ji Hai glaring at him, so he quickly stopped talking and carefully retreated.
After waiting outside the door for a while, I saw Ji Hai coming out.
"Eunuch Ji Hai." The eunuch stepped forward to greet him.
"This letter can only make this one request." Ji Hai took the eunuch aside to talk.
"Eunuch Ji Hai, this is an important piece of evidence and I heard it is of great importance." When the eunuch brought it in, he didn't know the details, he only knew that it was something of great importance.
"No matter how big the matter is, it's nothing in front of me." Ji Hai sneered, "I'm in a good mood now and I'm willing to agree. If I get angry..."
The eunuchs broke out in a cold sweat and were terrified. They were all old people in the British palace, so how could they not know what this gentleman looked like when he was angry.
"Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Ji Hai, for your guidance."
"It's not really about giving me any advice. If there are such things in the future, remember not to agree to too many things." Ji Hai said as he looked at the eunuch's face darkening.
"Yes, yes." The eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word.
Ji Hai turned and left, leaving the eunuch alone with a trembling heart.
The next time Qu Mingcheng saw Qu Qiuyan, he was following the people sent by the Prince of Ying's Palace.
The clan office took him to the place where King Jing was imprisoned. After following them in, he turned several corners before arriving at the place.
There was a guard guarding the door, who took the order from the eunuch and let them in.
When he saw Qu Qiuyan again, Qu Mingcheng could hardly believe what he saw. Was that skinny woman lying on the bed his sister
Before he left Beijing, he once secretly went to see his sister. Although she was thin at that time, she was not as thin as she is now. Even her eyes were dull and she looked haggard.
When I saw him come in, I didn't recognize him for a moment.
"Sister." Qu Mingcheng's eyes reddened, he took two steps forward and said.
"Brother?" Qu Qiuyan looked at him for a long time before asking.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Qu Mingcheng asked anxiously.
"Second brother, sit down first." Qu Qiuyan forced a smile, but she was clearly not smiling. This smile looked more like crying.
He pushed himself up with his hands as if trying to sit up.
"Don't sit up, just lean on it and talk to me." Qu Mingcheng said, reaching out to support her and letting her continue to lean on the cushion.
"Second brother, where is father?" Qu Qiuyan rolled her eyes, becoming a little more alert. She grabbed Qu Mingcheng's hand with her backhand, eagerly and anxiously.
"Father?" Qu Mingcheng said with a wry smile. Seeing his father again this time also shocked him. His father in the study seemed to have suffered a great blow. He was decadent. There were wine jars scattered around in the study and no one was allowed to clean them up. When he went in, he just looked at him from a distance and didn't dare to get close.
"Father's condition isn't very good either." He could only say vaguely.
"That woman, that woman, killed my second brother. It was that woman Liu Lanxin who killed me." Qu Qiuyan suddenly burst into tears and pointed her hand outward. "Second brother, I want that bitch's life to avenge my son. She killed my son. She killed my son."
"Did Princess Jing really do it?" Qu Mingcheng's face darkened.
"It was her, it was this bitch. She went to tell Concubine He that the two of them conspired together. They wanted to use the baby in my belly to get rid of it. They wanted to kill two birds with one stone. They will not die a good death. It's them, it's them." Qu Qiuyan waved her hands in the air, her face ferocious and full of hatred.
"Is Concubine He also involved?" Qu Mingcheng was stunned.
"These two bitches wanted to deal with the Crown Princess and the people in the Eastern Palace, so they deliberately took the baby in my belly and deliberately ruined it. It was them..." Qu Qiuyan's teeth were clenched. She hated them. How could she not hate them? She wanted to bite their flesh and blood.
"They forced my second brother, they forced me. I couldn't find anyone who could save me. I sent people to beg my father but he said nothing. He just told me to stay well in the mansion. How could I be well? The child in my belly, my child..."
Qu Qiuyan burst into tears and couldn't control herself.
Holding Qu Mingcheng's hand, her sharp fingers pinched tightly into his flesh.
It was as if the people in front of her were the Concubine He and Liu Lanxin whom she hated. Concubine He's people asked her to listen to Liu Lanxin, and Liu Lanxin said that this was Concubine He's intention. If she didn't obey and didn't listen to what they said, not only would she lose the baby in her belly, she would also be reduced to the lowest concubine. Even if she could give birth to a son, she couldn't keep him.
"Where is the prince?" Qu Mingcheng gritted his teeth.
"I didn't see him at all. I didn't see him." Qu Qiuyan cried like she was breaking down. She was bumped into in Liu Mansion. The maid next to her was also arranged by Liu Lanxin. She could obviously avoid it, but the maid next to her pushed her, and this time she happened to bump into the maid from Liu Mansion.
She fell into the lake. "They said that if nothing happens to me this time, the baby in my belly will be the true dragon emperor, and everything will belong to him in the future."
Qu Mingcheng was suddenly enlightened by these words, and his eyes widened suddenly, "So you agreed to it at that time?"
"Brother, I dare not disagree. How can I disagree? They use my father, you, and the child in my belly to force me. I thought I could avoid it, but... "
"But you didn't avoid it?" Qu Mingcheng understood.
"Second brother" Qu Qiuyan burst into tears, feeling extremely sad. She had nothing now, and there were some things she didn't dare to think about too deeply. At that time, she really wanted to give it a try.
Her son would be born as a bastard, but if he got the consent of Concubine He and Liu Lanxin, he would be a blessed person in the future if he survived this disaster. He would be the true dragon emperor and a person blessed by God. All the suffering she was going through now could be earned back in the future.
But she didn't expect that the child would be gone after she was knocked into the lake.
"Second brother, you have to avenge me, you have to avenge me."
"How should I report it?" Qu Mingcheng understood. He and Qu Qiuyan were twins. Although Qu Qiuyan's words were not clear, he understood everything. He sat down weakly on the chair beside the bed and smiled bitterly, "It's all gone."
"Father, go find father," Qu Qiuyan said anxiously.
"Father is busy taking care of himself right now. When I went back to Beijing to see him, he was only in his study. He just said that he was also implicated by King Jing and had not attended court for the past few days. He was still waiting for the emperor to investigate."
"Isn't Qu Moying the Princess of England? You go and ask her to find a way. She will definitely find a way. She will find a way." Qu Qiuyan pulled his sleeve hard, her face full of excitement.
At this point, my sister still can't see the situation clearly and is still asking me to beg the British princess
Qu Mingcheng felt more and more bitter. He regretted some things when he thought about them now. How could he, who was well-versed in the books of sages, have planned to plot against the Princess of England
This time when he returned to the capital, he was originally very satisfied, but now he felt bored. He was bent on pursuing his ambitions and wanted to get ahead with the help of Prince Jing, but in the end he was just used by Prince Jing and was instructed by Prince Jing to deliver a letter to his princess's family and to curry favor with her.
But his own sister was still harmed by Princess Jing.
In fact, it was not Princess Jing's fault. His sister also had a plan in mind. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain the favor of Concubine He and King Jing, suppress Princess Jing in one fell swoop, and use the child in her belly to create a "true dragon emperor".
If something happened to King Jing, even if the child could be born, how could he be the "true dragon emperor"? His own schemes and his sister's schemes were actually just a joke, a joke that made people laugh.
"Second brother, go find Liu Lanxin. This woman is still on the run. Go find her and then threaten the General Fuguo." Qu Qiuyan's words were still ringing in his ears. The sister in front of him seemed like the mother in his memory. She was different from the one he had just seen. She seemed to come alive all of a sudden.
At this time, she was still planning
Just now, he was determined to avenge his child, but it sounded a little less sincere. All his hatred and resentment were just because he didn't get what he wanted.
He was once part of the conspiracy, but now that he heard the truth about his sister's miscarriage and saw the changes in her before and after, he felt that his family was a joke.
