After all, the prince did not send the princess's coffin out of the city. When he was at the gate of the mansion, he fainted and was sent back. The sick King of Wei also came back with him.
Prince Jing and Prince Yan were the ones who were in charge of escorting the Crown Princess's coffin to burial today. They followed the funeral procession and slowly headed out of the city.
As they walked along the street, the entire street was covered with white banners and there were cries of grief. People on both sides knelt on the ground, welcoming the Crown Princess's coffin from afar.
Snow-colored pieces of paper are flying all over the sky, spreading a different kind of sadness in the wind.
The mansions in the capital that were responsible for setting up funeral tents lined up on both sides all the way to the city gate. When the coffin arrived, the wails shook the sky.
The Crown Princess' wedding was followed by a great funeral, and it must be said that this Crown Princess was a beauty with a tragic fate.
Everyone thought that she would rise to a high position from then on, and as soon as the crown prince ascended the throne, she would become the queen of a palace and rule the country from then on. However, she did not expect that she would have such a miserable fate.
Everyone can't help but sigh in their heart.
This kind of fate is not very auspicious, but very unlucky, right? Beauty is short-lived, nothing could be more tragic than this...
Qu Moying was sent to rest. After the imperial doctors examined him, they found nothing wrong and just said that he was exhausted and would be fine after resting for a while.
Lying on the soft bed, Qu Moying had woken up slowly and looked at Ji Youran, who was sitting on the chair next to him with a gloomy face.
Ji Youran's face didn't look any better. How could she not understand when Pei Luoan gave her an angry look just now
"Empress Concubine." Qu Moying opened her eyes, looked at Ji Youran, and then tried to get up by holding the bed. Yu Dong had already taken two steps forward and reached out to support her.
"Cousin is awake?" Ji Youran suppressed the anger on her face and her expression immediately calmed down.
It was as if her anger just now was misunderstood by others.
Qu Moying sneered in his heart. No wonder he had misjudged someone in his last life. What Ji Youran wanted to show him was her expression after she changed her face. He had treated her as a good sister wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect that this good sister wanted not only his status, but also the lives of his whole family.
She used the blood of her family to dye the red carpet on her road to success.
"I'm awake. I was rude just now. Please forgive me, Concubine."
In fact, Qu Moying's complexion has never been very good. Although she looks as white as cream, she always looks a little pale. With her thin and pointed chin, it can be seen that she is a little thinner than ordinary people.
"What's so rude about this? It was just an accident. I know you and the Crown Princess have a close relationship... Since you're not feeling well, why didn't you bring it up earlier so I could arrange for you to rest."
Ji Youran paused in the middle of her speech, but continued with the second half of the sentence, her eyes fixed on Qu Moying's face, paying attention to the changes in her expression.
She had originally wanted to act out a scene of deep sisterly love in front of Ji Hanyue's coffin, using the reason why she entered the mansion and her current behavior to paint herself a perfect reputation as an actress with deep sisterly love. Unexpectedly, Qu Moying got there first. How could she not suspect whether the Fourth Miss Qu in front of her also had some plans
Could it be that the prince is the one who can use the sisterly love to plot something
Pei Luoan was snatched away by her, and now is the critical moment, how could she let others covet him!
Although her cousin is not as close to her as her cousin, she could not help but faint on the ground crying. How could Ji Youran not be worried
"My health has always been poor... I have been recuperating in the village. Now my cousin
My uncle and I are both gone, and now even my cousin is gone. I… I am very sad. I wanted to cry in front of my cousin’s spirit, but I didn’t expect my body to be so weak that I fainted.”
Qu Moying raised a bitter smile at the corner of his lips, lowered his head, and looked gloomy.
So, the fainting just now was just an accident? Qu Moying didn't care about the Crown Prince
"Please don't interfere in my cousin's affairs." Ji Youran was relieved on this aspect, but she was also worried on the other hand. Her mother had sent someone to explain to her about Qu Moying's affairs in the Ji Mansion. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blamed her for this matter. The news that the late Ling Anbo was going to adopt an heir had spread, which was not good for Ji Youran or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
There is a lot involved here.
But this cannot be said directly, it has to be said in a tactful way.
"Empress Concubine, is there another reason behind my cousin's incident?" Qu Moying raised her head and asked back, her lips slightly pursed, and it can be seen that she was a little nervous.
"Cousin, this is the Ji family's business. It has nothing to do with me, a married woman, and even less to do with you. The reputation of the Ji family's women cannot be ruined because of the affairs of one cousin." Ji Youran said.
Qu Moying was silent for a while, neither saying yes nor no, he just lowered his head.
"Okay, cousin, I've said all I want to say. You are now the fourth lady of the Qu family. I have heard that there are many things going on in the Qu family. The second lady is quite unkind to you. If you need me in the future, I will definitely support you." Ji Youran stood up and her voice faded.
It sounds like the intention is to support Qu Moying with all one's strength. On the other hand, Qu Moying cannot even handle the affairs of the Qu Mansion himself, so how can he be capable of managing the affairs of other people's mansions? What's more, Ling Anbo's Mansion is not the Qu Mansion, and its status is much higher than that of the Qu Mansion.
How could she, a weak girl from the Qu family whose biological mother died young, deal with it
After Ji Youran finished speaking, he saw Qu Moying lowering his head and not saying anything, a smug sneer appeared in his eyes, and then he turned and left. If Qu Moying was a smart person, he would know what to do at this time.
It doesn't matter what happened to Ji Yanyue, as long as no one makes a fuss. Whether Ji Yanyue died of illness or eloped, it can all be ignored. The first wife of Ji's mansion doesn't have any powerful people now. How blind would one be to go against the second wife for the sake of the first wife of Ji's mansion
Of course, there is another tough guy right now, Yue Wenhan. Yue Wenhan reported to the emperor that Ling Anbo was going to have an adopted son, and Ji Youran was angry and resentful.
The prince even scolded her family for being useless, not just her father but also her brothers, and even repeatedly said that Ji Hanyue had never done such a thing before.
But this matter has to be done slowly. We must start with Qu Moying, scare him away, and then work hard on Yue Wenhan...
She walked to the corridor and looked back at a maid standing outside the wing room. The maid lowered her head and nodded, and then she left with her people.
Inside the house, Yu Dong poured a cup of tea for Qu Moying. Qu Moying took it, drank two sips, and said to Yu Dong: "Has my cousin's coffin been taken out?"
"I've already left. Miss has been unconscious for a long time." Yu Dong said, "Miss, please rest for a while. You haven't had a good rest in the past few days."
"I'm not tired!" Qu Moying handed the teacup to Yu Dong. Yu Dong took it and put it aside, then helped Qu Moying lie down.
"Miss, you should take a rest first. If you faint again, you will have to trouble Concubine Ji again.
." Yu Dong said.
After hearing what she said, Qu Moying said nothing more and closed his eyes.
The room became quiet, and Yudong stood quietly by the bed, waiting on her.
Suddenly, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a maid from the East Palace walked in with a tray in her hand with a plate of snacks on it. Seeing Qu Moying resting with his eyes closed on the bed, she immediately slowed down her footsteps, put down the snacks, and waved to Yudong.
Yudong looked at her, pointed at himself, and asked silently.
The maid nodded, pointed outside, indicating her to go outside to talk, then walked out, took a few steps, turned back and waved to Yudong.
Yu Dong looked at Qu Moying who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and followed the maid outside with light steps. Then, she lowered her voice and asked the maid outside, "What's the matter?"
"Just now, the concubine asked whether we should find a new place for the fourth young lady to rest." The maid whispered.
"What's wrong? Is it not good here?" Yudong asked in confusion.
"This place was not originally prepared as a resting place for the female members of the family. Just now Fourth Miss Qu fainted, and we didn't have time to go over there, so we asked her to move in nearby. But actually..." The maid hesitated when she said this, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What's wrong with that? It was your Concubine who asked our young lady to move in. Even if there is something wrong, it was your Concubine's idea." Yu Dong was a little anxious, and said anxiously with his eyes wide open.
Everyone knows that royal affairs cannot be taken lightly and should not be handled casually. Who knows what disaster a small negligence may bring.
"Don't worry, it's not that serious. The main reason is that women are not usually entertained here, and it's in the outer courtyard, which is not a good location. It's better to let Miss Qu move to the place where the women rest for a while. That place is in the inner courtyard, and it's unlikely to run into men from outside."
The maid smiled softly and explained Yudong's confusion.
"Well, okay, I'll go call our lady now." Yu Dong said repeatedly, turning around and leaving.
But the maid pulled his sleeve and said, "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Yu Dong stopped helplessly. His sleeve was pulled and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to!
"Miss Qu Si is not feeling well and has just fallen asleep. Can you wake her up immediately?" the maid said worriedly.
"It's okay. Our young lady has a good temper. She won't say anything even if she's woken up." Yu Dong said.
"Then... okay!" The maid still looked hesitant. She held Yu Dong's hand tightly and looked around. Seeing that the two maids standing beside her had their heads down and didn't notice them talking, she came closer to Yu Dong and said, "Some masters look very kind, but they are actually not easy to deal with. Miss Qu Si is not such a person, right?"
"Our young lady is not that kind of person." Yu Dong pulled back his sleeves unwillingly and said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Well, go wake up your young lady now and I'll take you there." The maid nodded without getting angry.
Yu Dong turned around and walked inside with an unhappy look on her face. She straightened her sleeves only after entering the house. The maid in the Prince's Mansion was surprisingly skilled. If she was an ordinary maid, she really wouldn't have known that the jewelry box in her sleeve had been replaced at the moment she pulled her sleeve just now.
That's really fast.
Fortunately, the young lady had given instructions in advance, so Yu Dong did not show any expression at the time, and quietly watched the actions of the maid in the East Palace...
