Madam Ji nodded, then shook her head and pointed at Madam Duan again. There was a chuckle, which made people feel creepy.
"Madam Duan knows?" Prince Qi Lie glanced at Madam Duan and continued to ask in a guiding manner.
This time, Madam Ji nodded vigorously, which meant she was very sure. She pointed at Madam Duan and scolded the old woman next to her again.
Although I didn't understand, the meaning of the scolding was very clear.
Prince Qi Lie's gaze fell on the old woman again.
"Madam Tai meant that this matter might be related to Madam Duan and Princess Ying. Madam Duan might know about Princess Ying, and Princess Ying might also know about it."
The old woman stammered.
"Pa" Madam Ji stood up with difficulty, swung her hand and slapped the old woman hard, directly on the head.
"Princess Ying, Princess Ying knows!" The old woman was shocked and screamed, "Princess Ying and Madam Duan know everything."
When Madam Duan brought the royal siblings from Northern Frontier over, Mo Ying just came out of her father's study. Seeing the Qi Lie siblings coming over, she paused slightly and looked at the two people coming over with her watery eyes.
I thought they should come over.
Yuchun stepped back and returned to the study to continue looking for "clues"
The woman in front of him had an exquisite appearance, with a hint of love in the corners of her eyes, which made her originally beautiful face more charming and gentle.
As gentle as water, or as pure and elegant as water
It seems that this is not enough to describe the excellence of the woman in front of him. Just a simple glance from her beautiful eyes is enough to make people feel amazed.
Prince Qi Lie originally thought that Qiya had exaggerated a bit, but now he realized that Qiya was not exaggerating, this British king was truly stunningly beautiful.
Such a woman, for so many years, was treated as a blind adopted child and thrown aside by her own father, which was almost equivalent to abandonment.
Later, the fiancé's family broke off the engagement, saying that he had fallen in love with another woman.
Prince Qi Lie didn't listen to the details, but only listened to some half-truths because she was the Princess of England.
Now I just feel that the prince who broke off the engagement is a blind man. If he doesn’t want to marry a girl like this, what kind of girl does he want to marry
The so-called overwhelming beauty is just like this
No wonder my sister, who has always been proud and arrogant, would identify with the British princess.
Prince Qi Lie was very surprised, but he was able to control his emotions after all. Besides, although the beauty was as beautiful as jade, she was still not as good as the country.
If he could become the common ruler of the world one day and take control of both the Great Zhou and the Northern Frontier, he could take the Queen of England into his harem.
But now it is not possible
Just because she was the Princess of England, he didn't dare to look at her.
Madam Duan stepped forward to salute first, then stepped back and introduced, "Princess, this is the Second Prince of Northern Frontier."
"Greetings, Princess England." Prince Qi Lie bowed with a smile.
Mo Ying turned sideways and returned the greeting: "Second Prince, you are too polite."
Princess Qia took two steps forward and said happily, "I originally thought that the princess would not come, but I didn't expect that she actually accepted the invitation. That's great."
Mo Ying also turned sideways and smiled and saluted, just avoiding the affectionate move of Princess Qia to reach out to hold her arm.
"Princess Ying, can I have a word with you for a moment?" Prince Qi Lie pointed to the room behind her.
"This is my uncle's study." Mo Ying hesitated and looked at Mrs. Duan.
Prince Qilie and Princess Qiya also looked at her.
Being watched by so many people, Mrs. Duan felt helpless. After pursing her lips, she pointed to the wing room next to the study and said, "You can go and sit for a while."
Everyone went to the study, and after they sat down there, Mrs. Duan had someone serve tea.
Mo Ying sat in the first seat, and the first guest seat was occupied by Prince Qilie. Madam Duan accompanied him below. With her status, she was indeed at a disadvantage when facing Prince Qilie.
"Princess Ying, I have a favor to ask of you." Prince Qi Lie came straight to the point. Since he had just said this to Madam Ji, he would naturally not hide it this time.
"I heard that there is an important thing in the Ling Anbo Mansion in the hands of the British Princess. I want to ask the British Princess to take a look at it. Is it feasible?"
"What is it?" Mo Ying raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled warmly.
She also didn't expect that this Qilie Prince would be so straightforward and come up to her to ask for things.
I knew that he must have some purpose in coming to Ling Anbo's mansion today, but I didn't know what it was. I was originally thinking about how to find out the news, but I didn't expect that the news would come to me like this.
Is there something important? My heart was moved inexplicably.
"It was the opponent card of the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion." Prince Qi Lie had just guessed and guessed from Madam Ji, and finally found the clue he wanted. Then he brought people to look for Mo Ying, the Princess of England.
"The counter-card from the Ling Anbo Mansion?" Mo Ying asked calmly, "This is something from the backyard. Why is Prince Qi Lie so interested in it?"
“This matter has to start from the little prince’s ancestors. Princess Ying must have heard about the incident when the old Duke of Qi attacked the royal court of Northern Frontier, right?” Prince Qi Lie said with a wry smile.
Mo Ying nodded. When Ji Hanyue first met him, not only her father had told her about it, but Pei Luoan and the nanny who raised her had also mentioned it. This incident was a grand event in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was brought up more than once not only in the past, but now as well.
However, this was a grand event for the Great Zhou Dynasty, but a great shame for the Northern Frontier. They couldn't even keep their own royal court. This was a shame in the hearts of any person in the Northern Frontier.
"I've heard about it from others." Mo Ying narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and asked.
"Since the Queen of England has also heard about it, there is no need for me to talk nonsense. At the beginning, my mother's family left some valuables and buried them. In a hurry, they only left a small piece of jade to guide the direction, but it was lost in the battle. Originally, it would not be a big deal if we didn't want the jade piece, but later, other people who knew the location also died in the battle, leaving only this clue."
Prince Qilie said helplessly.
"Xiao Wang searched everywhere and finally found that it might be Ling Anbo who took the things away."
"Shouldn't the old Duke be the one leading the troops in that battle? He was the commander-in-chief at the time." Mo Ying asked softly, looking at Prince Qi Lie with watery eyes.
"Although it was the old Duke who led the troops at that time, he did not enter that room. The only one who entered that room was Ling Anbo." Prince Qi Lie sighed and said helplessly.
To know it so clearly, there must be someone nearby at the time.
This person must be of a high status, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see so clearly and see Daddy enter that place.
Mo Ying strongly suspected that this person was the General Auxiliary to the State, after all, he had also followed the old Duke to that battle.
Daddy is here, General Fuguo is here, and my biological father, Duke Yuguo, is also here.
Famous generals gathered and finally reached the royal court, and almost wiped out the royal family of the northern border.
"I heard that there was still the General Auxiliary to the State at that time. Is it impossible that it was in his hands?" Mo Ying said with approval.
Qi Lie didn't expect that Mo Ying, the Princess of England, actually knew so much. After being slightly surprised, he smiled and said, "I thought that the Princess of England didn't understand these things, but I was wrong. In fact, not only your Great Zhou's auxiliary general was there, but also the Princess's father, the Duke of Yu."
"No one else is possible?" Mo Ying smiled slightly.
"Others have also checked it out, and finally they think the most likely place is the Ling Anbo Mansion. I just asked Madam Ji, and she said that there is indeed such a piece of jade, but it is now in the hands of Princess Ying, in the pair of cards in Princess Ying's hand."
Prince Qi Lie said as if he understood everything.
This statement is half true and half false, half scary and half guessing. It all depends on Mo Ying's current performance.
After Prince Qi Lie finished speaking, his scorching eyes fell on Mo Ying's face.
Mo Ying looked up at him openly, and after making eye contact with Emperor Qi Lie, although her smile was gentle, her aura was not weak.
After the two exchanged glances, Mo Ying smiled, "Second Prince, I really don't understand what you are saying. One of the Ling'an Marquis's cards is indeed in my hand, but this is a token given to me by Madam Ji, and it is also a commemoration of my cousin and aunt. Second Prince also knows that although I have returned to my ancestral home now, I will never forget the kindness of my cousin and aunt."
"Even though they are gone now, I will always find ways to repay their kindness."
Even if she was not a daughter of the Qu family, and even if the two families had no actual blood relationship, the Princess of England would still recognize this marriage.
This is what the British princess in front of us is expressing.
Prince Qi Lie naturally understood what he heard. He looked at the British Princess in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze, and the smile on his lips faded a little.
Mo Ying let him examine her like this, her smile as pure and elegant as ever, her thick long eyelashes fluttered twice, her words were very clear: "Since this was a gift given to me by Madam Ji, I naturally cannot return it. It was clearly stated at the beginning, but I didn't know there was actually a piece of jade in it."
"Princess Ying, this is actually of no use. It can only be used by the little prince. The things are also in the Northern Frontier. Others cannot take them away even if they want to."
"Second Prince, you are joking. How could I have the ability to do such a thing? But it is still unclear whether this thing is in there. Madam Ji used to be a smart one, but now she is a little different." Mo Ying said with a smile.
It is actually very difficult to describe Mrs. Ji's current situation clearly. Even if she explains it clearly, the old woman's explanation will not be so clear.
This kind of thing is different from the daily correspondence in the past. Mo Ying is sure that what Madam Ji said is not clear.
She had only guessed about the matching cards before, but now she was certain of it.
She was sure that Mrs. Ji couldn't "explain" it clearly.
Mrs. Ji might have had some guesses at first, but she couldn't take it seriously after all. That's why after she gave it to herself, she thought about asking for it back.
But she just said it and never mentioned it again, which shows that Mrs. Ji was not very clear about this matter.
What I am saying now is just a guess, and there are even some reasons why I am unwilling to accept it.
"Madam Ji just told the maidservant beside her that the jade piece is in the pair of cards in the hands of Princess Ying. Please help, Princess Ying. I will definitely reward you handsomely."
After the Second Prince looked at Mo Ying deeply twice, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Mo Ying.
