"What, Miss Qu Si fell and was injured?" Ji Youran listened to this almost absurd conclusion in amazement.
The person who was hit was a maid. What does she have to do with Qu Moying? It is said that the maid reacted quickly and pushed her away immediately. She just stood there holding on to the rockery. Now she is injured. Could it be more fake
This is the Prince's Mansion. This Qu Moying looks like a good person, but she is clearly a pretentious bitch. She even has the nerve to make trouble in front of the Prince.
"Your Highness, is the young lady in Minister Qu's mansion of low intelligence?" Ji Youran couldn't help but asked sarcastically.
She had really never seen such a daughter from a noble family. Even the dumbest daughter of a noble family would never do such a thing, nor would she say such words. Did she really think of herself as Ji Hanyue's cousin and that Ji Hanyue was the one in charge of this mansion
Ji Hanyue couldn’t die any more, what did Qu Moying want to do
Ji Youran's face changed drastically with anger.
"You... what do you mean?" Pei Luoan's face sank, as cold as water, and he stared at Ji Youran with a gloomy look. Even though his face still looked pale, Ji Youran was startled by his icy eyes. She immediately came to her senses and quickly covered her eyes with a handkerchief. She explained, "The one who fell just now was Miss Qu's maid, not Miss Qu. What is she trying to do on purpose?"
"Did you bump into a maid?" Pei Luoan's expression became increasingly grim, and he looked at Ji Youran gloomily.
"Your Highness, the servants in front just came to report that His Highness the Prince of Wei and Miss Qu Fourth bumped into each other. I don't know how Miss Qu Fourth bumped into His Highness the Prince of Wei. His Highness the Prince of Wei had just come over for a while and went to rest because he was not feeling well. Unexpectedly, he almost bumped into Miss Qu Fourth. Fortunately, the maid and the servant were walking in front, and they both fell, but there was no other accident."
Ji Youran calmed himself down and reported in a low and respectful voice. He inexplicably felt that something was wrong here. His heart began to panic and he became more cautious in his behavior.
"Is there anything wrong, King Wei?" Pei Luoan asked calmly. To this harmless younger brother, Pei Luoan was a pretty good brother.
"The King of Wei is fine, he was just frightened." Ji Youran said with a worried look on her face, and then with an angry look, "I also sent someone to check on him later, and they said that His Royal Highness the King of Wei is fine. I just don't know what this Fourth Miss Qu wants to do when even the King of Wei is fine. She was clearly fine at the time, and it wasn't her who fell."
No matter what Qu Moying's plan was, she would not let her have the chance to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It would be best if the King of Wei could take over now.
It was good enough to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that Qu Moying was a fickle person who not only wanted to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also the King of Wei.
"You seem to... have a prejudice against this Fourth Miss Qu?" Pei Luoan did not respond to her. After looking her up and down for a few times, he spoke slowly.
In the past, whether in front of others or behind others, Ji Youran always looked protective of Qu Moying. She also repeatedly said in front of the Crown Prince that Qu Moying was pitiful. Now that the Crown Princess is gone, she will definitely treat her as her own cousin and be devoted to her.
She said this again and again, and Pei Luoan heard it so many times that he felt that Ji Youran really wanted to be good to the Fourth Miss Qu. The more kindness Ji Youran showed towards the people or things in Ji Hanyue's past, the better it would be for the entire Prince's Mansion, and the less people would suspect Ji Hanyue's death.
This is also what Pei Luoan wants to see most.
In this regard, Pei Luoan
I feel very satisfied. Ji Youran is indeed kind-hearted and devoted to me. He is also capable and a good helper to me.
But Ji Youran's out-of-control words just now made him hear another meaning. Pei Luoan had never paid too much attention to this Fourth Miss Qu, even less than that of the Third Miss Qu, so naturally he would not have any thoughts about it. What he wanted was for Ji Youran to show goodwill to Qu Moying, the kind of goodwill brought by Ji Hanyue.
Only in this way can we lock away the events of the past.
But now Ji Youran showed a different face. She was jealous of a woman with eye disease? She was so jealous that she lost her usual calmness and even spoke ill of him. This was in front of him. What if it was in front of others? Wouldn't people notice something
This made Pei Luoan very unhappy!
Upon closer thought, how could the King of Wei meet Qu Moying by such a coincidence, and almost bump into her? It is impossible for this Fourth Miss Qu to have such connections in the Eastern Palace, and it is impossible for the servants of the Eastern Palace to be so reckless.
So, this so-called collision was actually Ji Youran's intention? Was she afraid that there weren't many things going on in her house, and she wanted to cause trouble again
"I... I have no prejudice against Fourth Miss Qu. I just felt that she was a little too much. It was clearly the maid who bumped into him, so how could it be said that she fell?" When Ji Youran saw Pei Luoan's cold eyes, she immediately lowered her head, bit her lip and explained carefully.
Pei Luoan didn't say anything and continued to look at her coldly, which made Ji Youran's palms sweat and she dared not move.
"Do you think anyone can bump into my East Palace? With Miss Qu's identity, how could she bump into the King of Wei? Does that mean the King of Wei is easy to bump into? If there is an assassin trying to assassinate the King of Wei in my East Palace in the future, it will be a very simple matter?" Pei Luoan stared at Ji Youran and asked.
These words were not light, and even implied that Ji Youran deliberately plotted to murder the Eastern Palace. Although the King of Wei was in a sickly body, he had to be well taken care of. If something happened in the Eastern Palace, the Emperor and the court officials would not let Pei Luoan go.
Ji Youran felt a chill in her back, and she knelt down suddenly. She looked up and cried, "Your Highness, I really didn't know about this. You already knew my feelings for you, so how could I dare to let you get involved in this? I was just... I was so angry that I... I deliberately let Miss Qu bump into His Highness the Prince of Wei."
Ji Youran didn't dare to deny it. This kind of thing was difficult for others to investigate, but Pei Luoan would be able to find out if he sent someone to investigate. She sent people to invite King Wei over, led King Wei to take that road, and brought Qu Moying over. In the East Palace, she was the only master of the inner courtyard who could do such a thing.
Originally, Ji Youran thought that Pei Luoan would not ask any questions about such a trivial matter, but now that he had doubts, Ji Youran did not dare to hide it anymore and could only lead the matter to her own anger.
"You... are angry? Why?" Pei Luoan frowned, his expression still ugly.
Ji Youran cried weakly, her eyes full of tears, and she even had trouble breathing. She looked up at Pei Luoan, whose face was already covered with tears: "Your Highness, when Fourth Miss Qu and I talked about the Crown Prince... I... I was very sad, this... I was so angry..."
She had to go on.
"What did you say?" Pei Luoan continued to ask.
"She said... she said that Your Highness behaved very well, and that Your Highness had deep feelings for the Crown Princess, and that she envied the Crown Princess... Your Highness, this is not just her expression.
What should my younger sister say? How could she... how could she say such a thing? I was so angry that I thought of a way to let her... meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."
Ji Youran looked at Pei Luoan with tears in her eyes, and threw all her grievances on Qu Moying.
This is indeed not something a cousin should say. The prince frowned and became more displeased with this Fourth Miss Qu. If it is really like what Ji Youran said, this Fourth Miss Qu is indeed not a good person.
Her cousin's body was still warm, and she dared to think about such things.
"You want her to be a pair with the King of Wei?" Pei Luoan already understood what Ji Youran meant.
"Yes, since she is determined to enter the palace, then... then the King of Wei is more suitable." Ji Youran's voice softened and she looked at Pei Luoan timidly.
This kind of look, which contained a bit of affection and gentleness, was what Pei Luoan liked the most in the past, but now he inexplicably felt a bit irritated.
"Ji Youran, you should understand your identity, right?" Pei Luoan said coldly.
"Your Highness, I am aware of my status. I should not be angry or annoyed, let alone lose my temper. It is just that Fourth Miss Qu went a little too far..." Ji Youran cried and defended herself.
"No matter how excessive it is, you have to endure it!" Pei Luoan glared and said sternly, "You said at the beginning that you would not be jealous of Hanyue, nor would you be jealous of any woman around me. What is going on now? Are you trying to make people suspect that your purpose in entering the East Palace was not to take care of Hanyue, but for me?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I was wrong. No matter how much I defend myself, it cannot cover up my mistakes. Your Highness, I will never do that again. No matter how excessive Miss Qu Fourth's actions are, I will treat her as my cousin, just because she is the cousin of the Crown Princess."
Ji Youran hurriedly lowered her head and cried aggrievedly, with her hands on Pei Luoan's knees, her eyes full of affection and tears, which made people feel pity for her.
There was only a glimmer of hatred in her eyes. She originally thought that everything would be over after Ji Hanyue died, but she didn't expect that even after his death, Ji Hanyue was still so restless and created such a cousin to disgust her. If she had the chance, she would definitely not keep Qu Moying, and of course, she would not take action in the East Palace again.
For some reason, she felt that Qu Moying was as annoying as Ji Hanyue. The injured part of her face ached slightly. Her face was injured by Ji Hanyue, and after it healed, it was affected by Qu Moying again. There is still a faint mark on it. The imperial physician also said that it is difficult to eliminate. This is because Qu Moying used his medicated sleeve to wipe her tears.
The imperial physician also said that if this area is injured again in the future, the scar will definitely be quite large.
"If something like this happens again in the future, I will never let you off easily. Ji Youran, you must remember that you are a concubine, and not even a legitimate concubine." Pei Luoan warned.
"Yes, Your Highness, I know." Suppressing the hatred in her heart, Ji Youran had to give in.
"Get up first and deal with Miss Qu Si's matter. She just fell over there on the rockery. I heard she fell accidentally and bumped into Uncle Wang." Pei Luoan rubbed his eyebrows with his hand. There was a dull pain in his eyebrows. He really didn't want to get involved in such matters, but this happened in his own house.
Pei Yuanjun, what was he doing here today? How did he bump into this Fourth Miss Qu? Could it be that, as Ji Youran hinted, this Fourth Miss Qu's mind was indeed not right
Pei Yuanjun is not Pei Qingmin, the King of Wei...
