"Cousin, don't go now. You won't find out anything even if you go, and you might even be framed. When I was at the wake, I felt that Concubine Ji was not simple."
Qu Moying hurriedly spoke up to stop him, and called Yue Wenhan over because he was afraid that he would lose his temper!
"Frameup?" Yue Wenhan stopped and looked at his cousin, whom he always thought was weak, for the first time.
"Cousin, if the Crown Princess's death is really related to Concubine Ji, do you think it would be so easy to find out? And don't you think that if there is something fishy about the Crown Princess's death, what does the Crown Prince mean? Hasn't he always had a deep affection for the Crown Princess? How could he not know what happened in the Crown Prince's Mansion? If he knew, he still watched the Crown Princess die. What does this mean?"
Qu Moying took two steps forward. Her voice was very low, with a trembling tone that was not sure whether it was from fear or excitement. To be able to say such words in the Prince's Mansion, even if her voice was low and trembling, it showed her courage.
The extremely weak girl in front of me actually dared to say such words, and her thinking was so cautious.
Yue Wenhan was shocked, then his expression calmed down. He turned around and sat back in his seat, facing the matter for the first time.
"Cousin, do you also think there's something fishy about the Crown Princess?"
Qu Moying also turned around and sat down again, nodding, "I think there is something wrong, but we can't act rashly. If there is really something wrong, it is not just Concubine Ji's business. None of the Crown Princess's personal maids were guarding in front of the spirit. If cousin wants to investigate, it is better to start from here. As for..."
Qu Moying paused here, looking a little hesitant.
"If you want to say something, just say it. I am your cousin and also the cousin of the Crown Princess!" Yue Wenhan straightened his back and spoke.
"My cousin is accompanying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, so why don't you check the whereabouts of the two maids? There is one more thing. Someone from the Ji Mansion has come to pay homage before. It was Madam Ji who came. Can I meet this Madam Ji later? Since she is a concubine, it is not appropriate for my cousin to come forward for some matters."
Qu Moying suggested.
"Are you... okay now?" Yue Wenhan frowned and did not respond to this question. He just looked at Qu Moying and asked with concern.
In his opinion, Qu Moying was also extremely weak, which was why she was harmed to this state by Yu. Now she even had to go and investigate Madam Ji, which was really worrying.
"Don't worry, cousin. I've already applied ointment on my body. I'll be fine if I take good care of myself for a few days. I'm feeling much better now." Qu Moying knew that he didn't quite believe in her, so she smiled softly.
She now wanted to go and see Madam Ji, her grandmother in her previous life. It was impossible for her to go to Ji Youran for this matter, because Ji Youran would not be willing to let her meet Madam Ji.
The only person who could be found was Yue Wenhan, who came and went freely in the Prince's Mansion today. Moreover, Yue Wenhan, like himself, was Ji Hanyue's cousin. Since they were relatives and both were in the Prince's Mansion, it was only right for him and Yue Wenhan to go and see Madam Ji according to the etiquette of the younger generation paying respects to the elder.
As for the matter of the two maids Wei Yu and Xie Feng, Yue Wenhan had reasons to ask, but even if the prince knew about it, he couldn't say anything.
"Are you really okay?" Yue Wenhan asked worriedly, "Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come back and take a look?"
"No need, it's not a big deal." Qu Moying smiled and shook his head.
"by
Later, if there is anything, you can ask someone to come find me. I just caught up with your father's carriage..." Yue Wenhan was a little speechless when he said this. He hated Qu Zhizhen very much, but Qu Zhizhen was Qu Moying's biological father after all. He couldn't say bad things about Qu Zhizhen in front of her!
"Did my cousin have an argument with father? Was he hurt?" Qu Moying straightened her body. She really didn't expect Yue Wenhan to chase Qu Zhizhen. She was afraid that Yue Wenhan would suffer a loss. If Qu Zhizhen was that simple, he would not have become the Minister of Works. At his age, such an official position was considered a promising one for a young man.
"I pulled him twice and accidentally pulled him off the horse, spraining his foot." Yue Wenhan said nonchalantly.
Qu Moying smiled, with the corners of her lips slightly raised. She and Yue Wenhan were not very familiar with each other in the past, but now she knew that this cousin was no simple man. Just listening to what he said, accidentally pulling it down and spraining her foot was not a big deal no matter how you looked at it, not to mention the fact that Yu had treated her harshly before.
It seems that this time, his adopted father not only suffered a loss in silence, but he could not talk about it and might even be reported to the imperial censor because of it. After all, although this matter was an inner court matter, if it was really discussed, it was brought to the spirit of the Crown Princess, which could even be considered disrespectful to the Crown Princess.
No wonder Yu suddenly fainted on the bed and had to be treated by many doctors.
Otherwise, not only will Yu himself be implicated, but even Qu Zhizhen will be implicated.
"Thank you, cousin." Qu Moying stood up and bowed sincerely to Yue Wenhan.
"This is what I should do. Besides, it will be difficult for Minister Qu to extricate himself after things got this far." Yue Wenhan said indifferently.
"But if my cousin hadn't chased him out, I'm afraid the incident wouldn't have become such a big deal." Qu Moying said implicitly.
The officials who came to the Prince's Mansion to pay homage were different from the ordinary people on the street. They could clearly distinguish between what should be said and what should not be said.
But if the matter gets out on the street, the result will be different. I believe that the cousin will definitely tell the story again on the street. No matter who wants to suppress it, it will not be so easy.
Seeing her speak like this, Yue Wenhan could be sure this time that his cousin, who looked extremely weak, was actually a smart person, and an extremely smart one at that.
There was no need to explain it clearly, as my cousin already understood it very well, and a smile of appreciation could not help but appear on her face.
Although he didn't need to explain his actions to a weak girl like Qu Moying, it was certainly a happy thing that Qu Moying could understand it herself.
As for now, he was originally worried that Qu Moying might not be safe when meeting Madam Ji, but now he is not so worried anymore. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I will check the maid's matter and ask Madam Ji if she has time to see us."
"Thank you, cousin!" Qu Moying nodded.
In the Prince's Mansion, only Yue Wenhan could help him with this matter. As for meeting Madam Ji, it was also an important reason why he stayed in the Prince's Mansion this time on the pretext of his injury.
After her rebirth, she had no connection with the Ji family.
Although the Ji and Qu families were relatives, they had stopped interacting a long time ago. After Qu Moying's biological mother died, the Ji family stopped interacting with the Qu family. Ji Hanyue would only send some gifts to herself in the manor in private. Now, even if she wanted to interact with the Qu family again, she had no reason to do so unless she and Ji Hanyue were together.
The government resumed the relationship.
If she wanted to avenge herself, it was necessary for her to get involved with the Ji family, and now was the perfect time.
"Miss, I can also investigate the maid's matter." Yu Dong looked at Yue Wenhan's departing back and said puzzledly. Wanting to investigate the two maids in the prince's mansion is not a big deal. Is it necessary to ask the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple to investigate the matter
"How do you check?" Qu Moying picked up the tea on the table and took a sip slowly.
"I can find a few old people in the mansion and give them some money. It shouldn't be a big problem." Yu Dong said indifferently. He was just asking about the whereabouts of the two maids, not asking anything else.
"What if bribery doesn't work?" Qu Moying said with cold eyes.
“It’s impossible. It’s just a small thing…” Yudong blinked, feeling that it was impossible.
"A small matter? Anything that involves the death of the Crown Princess is not a small matter." Qu Moying said lightly.
Yu Dong shuddered unconsciously. He was close to Pei Yuanjun, so how could he not know that anything involving the death of the Crown Princess must be a big deal? But didn't the Crown Princess die of illness
Could there be other reasons behind this
Yu Dong didn't dare to answer. There were some things he hadn't thought about before. Now the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. If this was true, it would be another bloody storm, right? He even dared to harm the Crown Princess. Was he courting death
"Miss, then it will be okay if the Yue Lord asks?" Yu Dong still didn't understand. If that's the case, wouldn't it be the same no matter who asks
"My cousin is different. He is a man, and he is also the Minister of the Supreme Court. Even if he has some doubts and goes to investigate this matter, it is nothing if he cannot bribe and directly takes action. He has already pulled my father for me before, and now for the Crown Princess, it is reasonable for him to ask about the whereabouts of the two personal maids, even if it is..."
Qu Moying paused here, then slowed down his voice before continuing, "Even if someone knew, they would just rush to fill in the gaps instead of suspecting that my cousin really knew something."
Men should be more passionate when they act. After listening to the previous farce, Yue Wenhan suspected that asking about the maid was not a big deal. It would seem strange if he didn't ask.
The Prince's Mansion is not any other place. Now that he is injured like this, it is inconsistent with his own character to interfere in Ji Hanyue's affairs, and it will also arouse suspicion.
Yu Dong was smart after all, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Qu Moying. After Qu Moying said these two sentences, she immediately understood what she meant, and admired her young lady even more. She didn't ask any more questions about this matter, but just thought about it and asked, "Young lady, then... what should we do?"
"Prepare generous gifts and go meet Madam Ji later." Qu Moying said lightly.
"Miss, we came here by accident, so we don't have any generous gifts." Yu Dong spread her hands in embarrassment. Qu Moying's incident was an "accident" that Yu had caused her. Of course, they couldn't prepare any so-called generous gifts. Besides, when they came to attend a funeral, everything was very simple. They were even wearing plain white clothes. How could they have any generous gifts
"There is a generous gift, which I prepared long ago." Qu Moying said meaningfully.
The two maids looked at each other, not understanding for a moment. Suddenly, Yuchun's eyes lit up: "Miss, what is that thing you are talking about?"
