"Your Highness... painting... isn't that portrait of the British princess? Why did it become mine?" Liu Lanxin couldn't help but scream, clutching the handkerchief tightly.
"Sure enough... it's you!" Pei Yusheng's voice was not loud, but he was furious.
"Your Highness... I only know a little bit. I know that Princess Qiya has ill intentions towards Princess Ying. I heard Princess Qiya's intention to deal with Princess Ying, and I just gave her a helping hand. Otherwise, I did nothing. I only know that Princess Qiya prepared a painting of Princess Ying."
Liu Lanxin didn't say it in full, just a little bit.
There were some things she didn't dare let Pei Yusheng know.
"You just helped her a little bit?" Pei Yusheng sneered, "You really did a good thing, handing your handle to others. Now this matter falls into the hands of the Queen. The person in the painting is named you, and there are Northern Border specialties on the veil. Do you think you can get the Northern Pearl with your status as the Princess of Ying at that time?"
Given the relationship between the Empress and Concubine He, even if nothing is going on, there will be some trouble, let alone if something is going on!
"Beizhu?" Liu Lanxin opened her mouth.
"You used Northern Pearls on your eye veil before?" Pei Yusheng asked back. He actually never noticed these small details.
"Beizhu... there was indeed some on my veil before." Liu Lanxin said in panic.
“You…you…” Pei Yusheng didn’t know what to say for a moment. He pointed at Liu Lanxin and was so angry that he couldn’t even speak.
Before, he felt that there was no factual evidence for this matter, but now there is.
At the very beginning, he remembered there were no pearls.
When was the earliest time? When Liu Lanxin first came to Beijing, that was when they first met, and Pei Yusheng saw it most clearly, because she was with Pei Yuanjun at the time, and she was the daughter of the general who assisted the country. Pei Yusheng put a lot of thought into it, and Liu Lanxin at that time also made him most moved.
At that time, people used veils to cover not only their eyes but also their faces, so that not a single trace could be seen...
He tried hard to suppress his anger, "You actually... used Beizhu to press the eye veil?"
"The North Pearl is relatively small, and it is easier to press down the veil. When we are at the border, the wind is also strong. If the North Pearl is not used to press it down, the veil will easily float up. But... I am not the only one who can get the North Pearl, so why do you say it is me?" Liu Lanxin said unconvinced.
"Who else can use the Northern Pearl and has an eye disease besides you?" Pei Yusheng sneered and mocked, "That painting... originally we couldn't tell who it was, we only knew it was a woman. Originally everyone thought it was indeed the Princess of England, but these few tiny Northern Pearls made everyone think it wasn't the Princess of England. Who else could it be besides you?"
"Liu Lanxin, when you first came to the capital, I thought you were quite generous, much better than the Crown Princess. You were also understanding and a man of character, but I didn't expect... that you would do such a thing behind her back. What grudge did the Princess of England have against you that made you help her and then foolishly get yourself involved?"
"Your Highness... this matter is really not my fault... It was Princess Qia who said she wanted to deal with Princess Ying. Who would have thought that she would be like this... She actually secretly harmed me." Liu Lanxin gritted her teeth and said.
The person in the painting was clearly Qu Moying, how did she become herself? She is still confused. This was done by Princess Qiya, and she was the only one who could replace Qu Moying with herself. Could it be that the person she wanted to deal with was never Qu Moying, but herself, and the person she wanted to marry was not King Ying but King Jing
"Are you stupid? Can people from Northern Frontier be trusted? She is a princess from Northern Frontier... She came to Beijing for peace talks this time, but we don't know what she will do. Do you have to listen to her? Now she is fine, but you are fine. It depends on what the Queen says and does. Fortunately, there is also my third brother. If he was not a quiet person, he would not have done such a thing. Your role as Princess Jing would have ended then."
Although Pei Yusheng hated what Pei Qingmin said at that time, he was indeed glad that it was Pei Qingmin. If it was anyone else, no one would give him a chance to speak.
Even if Liu Lanxin is the daughter of the general, even if she is his princess, so what
"You should be thankful that your third brother is involved in this matter. Neither father nor the queen would believe that he is that kind of person. They would rather think that someone is framing him. Now the queen is already investigating in the palace, but I don't know what the investigation will reveal. You better take care of yourself!"
Liu Lanxin's heart suddenly rose high, and then fell heavily. She felt her eyes go dark and her teeth chattered. "Princess Qiya... really wants to harm me. Your Majesty, do you know why Princess Qiya wants to harm me?"
"How would I know? I'm just curious why the princess has such great malice towards Princess Ying?" Pei Yusheng said coldly.
Liu Lanxin's attitude towards Qu Moying was unknown, even if she didn't say much, it seemed that she wanted to be on good terms with Qu Moying, and Pei Yusheng saw it all.
"Your Majesty... I don't have any." Liu Lanxin explained hurriedly.
"You know best whether it is true or not." Pei Yusheng sneered, rubbing his brow with his hand, "You know best about this matter, and I will tell you this, so that you don't still have any good ideas. You can think of a way out for this matter. The Queen Mother may not be able to help, but the Queen Mother has always regarded the Mother Mother as a thorn in her side."
Concubine He and the Empress are at loggerheads with each other, and both families are well aware of this.
It's good enough to maintain some cold words on the surface, but secretly everyone is fighting to the death.
What he wanted to grab was the position of the crown prince. If there was a chance for him to dethrone the crown prince, he would do it at all costs. It was already difficult for him and Pei Luoan to have both.
Once Pei Luoan ascends to that position, he will not be spared. From his mother to him, no one will have a good ending.
Similarly, if he were to reach that position, he would not spare Pei Luoan.
In recent times, my mother has not had a good time in the palace. I heard that my father has not visited my mother's palace for a while. My mother has tried every possible way, but with little result. This makes both mother and son very uneasy. If it were in the past, Pei Yusheng would have given a helping hand to Liu Lanxin even for the sake of her position as the queen.
But now he felt that he could not do such a thing at this time. If the Queen and Pei Luoan caught him, it would be a big deal.
He couldn't fall into the hands of the Queen and Pei Luoan because of a woman.
"Your father is a general who assists the country. He must have some backup plans for you, right? If you can use them, use them quickly, otherwise you will die without knowing how." Pei Yusheng said coldly, "Even if I want to help you, I am powerless now. And mother cannot move, otherwise it will only make the queen's move even worse."
These words were extremely cold, as if the Liu Lanxin in front of him was not his legal wife, not the woman he married with a formal matchmaker.
This made his attitude clear: he could only watch and could not help Liu Lanxin in any way.
If Liu Lanxin wants to do anything, she can only save herself.
Pei Yusheng stood up after he finished speaking. "Try to make amends for what you did in the first place. Don't trust anyone else, Princess Qia?" He sneered. "People from the Northern Frontier can be used, but you can't trust them. If you really trust them completely, you won't know how you died."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
What he meant was to ignore the matter and let Liu Lanxin figure it out on her own.
Whether dead or alive, or something else, it all depends on Liu Lanxin herself.
Liu Lanxin's face was as pale as snow and her body was staggering. She had always been confident and did not care about Pei Yusheng's favor.
But even so, he was hit hard this time, his face turned as pale as snow...
"Princess." Hai Qing stepped forward and helped her.
Liu Lanxin sat down slowly in silence, looking at the teacup in front of her with gloomy eyes. The look on her face was filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said in hatred, "Qia, that bitch."
"Princess, what should we do now?" Hai Qing was a little panicked. None of them had expected the matter to turn out like this.
"Send someone to inform Princess Qiya." Liu Lanxin said coldly. This matter was too strange. She had to ask Princess Qiya in person before she could come to a conclusion.
"At this time... you'd better not go out." Haihua advised.
"No problem, just go meet her secretly." Liu Lanxin said with a gloomy face. She had to understand this matter more clearly no matter who wanted to deal with her, she would not give in.
If she found out it was Princess Qia, she would not let her get well either...
After all, Liu Lanxin was unable to meet Princess Qia immediately.
Princess Qia fell. Not long after she left the palace gate, the horse was startled and fell into the lake in front of everyone's stunned eyes.
Fortunately, the car door was open, and a young man passed by and jumped into the water to rescue Princess Qia who had fallen into the water.
There was no time to rescue the other people in the carriage, and only Princess Qia survived.
Princess Qiya was rescued, but her foot was injured. Upon hearing that this was the princess of Northern Frontier, the young man who rescued her specially sent her to the mansion where the envoy from Northern Frontier lived.
When such a thing happened and it was a critical time for peace talks between the two countries, Jingzhao Yin took immediate action, sending people to investigate the matter and report to the emperor at the same time.
But after investigating again and again, the coachman said that he didn't know what had happened. The horse was suddenly frightened. He wanted to hold the horse, but the horse jumped into the lake like crazy. He couldn't stop it, and now the horse fell into the lake and drowned.
I can't find out even if I try to check it.
Fortunately, Princess Qiuya was fine, which was a blessing in disguise.
When Qu Moying heard about this, she smiled. Pei Yuanjun was the one who told her the news. Qu Moying did not sympathize with Princess Qiya. It was obvious that Princess Qiya's target was herself. She had brought this upon herself...
