The tea stopped at the corner of Qu Moying's lips, then slowly moved away. Qu Moying frowned and put down the teacup.
"It seems to be very hot." Qu Caiyue looked at the teacup in her hand and nodded. She pushed the teacup slightly to the side and leaned on the stone table in front of her. "Fourth sister, do you think King Jing and Third Sister are different?"
The corners of her lips looked very pale, and the handkerchief in her hand loosened weakly and fell to the ground in front of her, but her hand was placed under the stone table and no one saw it.
"I don't know." Qu Moying shook his head and rubbed his head.
"I heard from father that my second uncle intends to let my third sister marry His Royal Highness Prince Jing. Now it seems really possible. You see, Prince Jing treats my third sister differently." Qu Caiyue smiled, looking very happy.
"I don't know." Qu Moying shook his head again and rubbed his eyebrows a few times.
Yu Dong, who was following her, finally felt something was different. He raised his eyes to look at Qu Moying and asked with concern, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
"Maybe I'm tired." Qu Moying shook his head, his brows furrowed even more, and he seemed to be in a lot of discomfort.
"If fourth sister is not feeling well, can you go there to rest for a while?" Qu Caiyue also noticed that something was wrong with Qu Moying. She stood up, looked around, and pointed to a half-open doorway under the corridor.
"No need, this is the palace, it's not a good idea." Qu Moying shook his head and refused.
"It's okay. I'll go take a look first. If there's nothing wrong, fourth sister, can you come in again?" Qu Caiyue said, turning around and going behind the rockery. After taking a few steps, her body swayed. The maid who followed her hurriedly reached out to support her, seeing that her face was becoming increasingly uglier.
It only took a short while for the attack to occur.
Seeing him like this, Qu Moying had no choice but to help Yu Dong stand up.
The two of them walked around the rockery one after the other and came to the half-open door. Qu Caiyue said to Qu Moying who was following behind her, "Fourth sister, I'll go in now."
After saying that, she staggered inside. The maid wanted to support her, but she pushed her away fiercely. She had no choice but to stay outside the door with her head down.
Qu Caiyue felt a little dizzy. The drug powder was indeed powerful. After just a short while, she could no longer bear it and almost fainted. As expected, there was a large screen in front of her. She turned inside with the help of the screen and saw King Wei Pei Qingmin lying on the large couch.
His face was pale and he seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. His mental state was not very good. His eyes were tightly closed. Hearing the noise, he subconsciously opened his eyes and was shocked to see Qu Caiyue staggering in, and then she staggered over and pressed him under her.
Pei Qingmin was startled and subconsciously wanted to get up, but he was suppressed by Qu Caiyue and was too weak to get up for a while. He wanted to push Qu Caiyue away with force, but he didn't know where his hands were hooked, and Qu Caiyue's collar was torn open, and one could even see the bright red bellyband inside.
Pei Qingmin's face turned red with anxiety, but his hands and feet were weak, even weaker than before. A faint fragrance came from Qu Caiyue's body, making Pei Qingmin even weaker. He wanted to push Qu Caiyue away with his hand, but his hand fell on her belt, and it looked more like he was pulling her belt open.
If someone with ulterior motives saw this, they would definitely think that he was flirting with Qu Caiyue.
Pei Qingmin was resting here. He had already invited the imperial physician to come over and calculate the time.
I'm about to get here. If the imperial physician and the people in Concubine Qu's palace see this scene, this Third Miss Qu will be related to me.
Pei Qingmin's eyes flashed with a fierce anger. He pushed Qu Caiyue away with force, exhaled, and said in a cold voice: "Someone come!"
A secret guard fell silently from the roof.
"Pull that person away from me." Pei Qingmin panted, his face flushed red.
The secret guard came over and pulled the semi-conscious Qu Caiyue away, and slammed her against the screen without mercy. Qu Caiyue made a "bang" sound, which showed that he used quite a bit of force.
“Your Highness…” The secret guard came over and helped up Pei Qingmin, who was gasping for breath.
"Open the window... let in some fresh air." Pei Qingmin gritted his teeth. If it weren't for Qu Moying's words before, which made him be more cautious, he would have really fallen into the trap of his good second brother this time.
This was a method he used because he knew that he was weak and unable to push this woman away!
The secret guard opened the window as ordered, diluting the fragrance on Qu Caiyue's body.
"Who else is outside?" Pei Qingmin gritted his teeth and asked.
"Fourth Miss Qu." The secret guard had heard it clearly just now and knew that the person coming was not only the second lady of the Qu mansion, but also the third lady.
If the prince hadn't given the order just now, he wouldn't have dared to stop him.
"Go and ask her to come in." Pei Qingmin sneered. This girl saw that he had fallen into the trap, but she didn't stop him. He didn't believe that this girl knew nothing.
The secret guard obeyed the order and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Pei Qingmin, "Where did the second brother go?"
"He's back and is resting in the room over there." The secret guard reported.
King Jing's purpose seemed very clear, he was here to have a tryst with Miss Qu San. Needless to say, he must have found a place to talk at this time.
"Take this woman away, bring her to second brother..." Pei Qingmin was ill physically, not mentally. After a moment's hesitation, he understood the cause and effect of the matter and sneered. No wonder this good second brother had been treating him very well these days, and even took him to Qu Mansion to meet his beloved in private. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
When I came here just now, Pei Yusheng had someone pass a message to me, saying that he was resting in a room a few doors to the right, and that the imperial physician was here, so I should send someone to find him.
He called the secret guard and gave him a few low instructions. The secret guard picked up Qu Caiyue and left through the back window.
"Why hasn't the second young lady come out yet? Let me go in and take a look." The people waiting outside had been waiting for quite a while, but they didn't see Qu Caiyue come out, so Yu Dong suggested.
Qu Moying stretched out his hand and shook it to stop them. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw someone coming from not far away, bringing Yu Dong and Qu Caiyue's maid and retreating to the side.
It was the imperial physician from the palace, following a young eunuch and two palace maids from Concubine Qu's palace. When Pei Qingmin's personal eunuch saw Qu Moying standing there, he panicked and took a few steps forward, looking at Qu Moying warily. He had seen Qu Moying in Concubine Qu's palace just now.
"Miss Qu Si, what are you doing here at our prince's resting place?"
"Is this... the place where His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei rests?" Qu Moying asked in surprise.
"Of course it's where our prince rests. Is there anything wrong, Miss Qu Si?" The young eunuch became more alert. There were women who threw themselves into the arms of his prince in the past.
"My second sister is..." Qu Moying pointed inside and said.
"Second Miss, our Second Miss is inside. Fourth Miss, you just let our Second Miss in." Qu Caiyue's maid suddenly screamed, reached out and pushed open the half-closed door, and rushed in.
The King of Wei's personal eunuch was frightened and hurriedly followed him in. The imperial physician and two palace maids from Concubine Qu's mansion also followed him in for fear that something might happen.
Qu Moying hesitated for a moment and took Yudong in.
After entering the room and turning around the screen, everyone was stunned to see Pei Qingmin lying on the bed in good health. The inner room was not big, and with just one glance, it was clear that there was no one else but the King of Wei.
Hearing the voice, Pei Qingmin opened his eyes, an angry look appeared on his pale face, and he sat up with his hands, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, I thought someone broke in." The young eunuch was startled and said hurriedly.
"Who broke in?" Pei Qingmin asked coldly.
"I heard... I heard it was the second young lady of the Qu Mansion." The young eunuch pointed at several people in the Qu Mansion.
"Miss Qu, the fourth one?" Pei Qingmin set his gaze on the only master of the Qu Mansion.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei!" Qu Moying turned around from behind Yu Dong and said calmly, "Just now I seemed to see Second Sister coming here, and I thought Second Sister accidentally barged in and got into trouble."
"It seems you saw it?" Pei Qingmin said coldly.
"It's a bit far. I rested in front and didn't feel comfortable. My second sister said she wanted to come over to see if there was a place to rest. I seemed to see my second sister went in here and didn't come back, so I brought the servants to look for her here." Qu Moying said calmly.
Qu Caiyue's maid opened her mouth and wanted to refute Qu Moying's words, but when she saw Yu Dong's cold gaze, she shuddered, lowered her head and dared not say another word.
If she saw the Second Young Miss here, she would definitely say what she said before. But now the Second Young Miss is not here. If she insists that it was the Second Young Miss who entered the room, it would be difficult for her to justify herself. People might even suspect that she was lying. She is just a little maid and cannot afford to offend her.
After thinking about it, Qu Caiyue's maid chose to remain silent.
"You won't find my second brother, will you? If you disturb his rest, I will hold you accountable." Pei Qingmin stood up with the help of the eunuch and said coldly.
Qu Moying stepped aside.
Pei Qingmin walked past her and went out on his own, and everyone followed him.
Pei Yusheng had originally planned to take Qu Qiuyan with him to the resting place that he had reserved for him. However, after walking halfway, he said that he wanted to go visit Pei Yusheng, leaving Qu Qiuyan and Qu Xuexin alone, and went to the resting room that he had reserved for him before, waiting quietly for something to happen to Pei Qingmin.
After entering the room, I was bored, so I sent the people around me away and closed my eyes to rest. Just as I was drowsy, suddenly a soft body fell on me. I subconsciously sensed that it was a woman, so I reached out and embraced her in my arms. My nostrils were filled with fragrance, which was hot and made me feel powerless.
He pulled hard twice and continued to sleep in a daze.
It seemed like someone was saying something, but he didn't pay any attention. He just felt a little more sleepy than usual. Summer was almost here, and he felt very weak.
"Ah!" The sharp sound pierced Pei Sheng's eardrums. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the things in his arms were pushed out. He let out a woman's cry of pain, and then opened his eyes with difficulty, but was met with a pale and sick face. He blinked for a moment, and looked at Pei Qingmin in confusion...
