Qu Moying was finally kept by Ji Youran!
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Qu Moying could only agree. After speaking a few words to Ji Youran in a lukewarm manner, Ji Youran left for something.
After sending everyone else out of the room, Qu Moying took out the jewelry box from her sleeve. It was the same jewelry box that Ji Youran had given her before. Although it was exquisite, it was too ordinary in the Prince's Mansion.
After opening it, she saw the blood jade bracelet broken into several pieces. Her eyes fell on one of the small pieces and her hand trembled slightly. This bracelet had been worn on her hand for so many years. Even though there was only such a small piece, she could still recognize it. This was the small piece of the blood jade bracelet that she had worn on her hand.
Only this short paragraph is true. Ji Youran did go to Linyuan Pavilion to fish, but he got very little. Only this short paragraph is true.
This is a fragment of a bracelet. Except for this small piece, the rest are not. The blood color is different. Although they all look blood red, they are actually not the same blood jade bracelet. Ji Youran wanted to use such a broken bracelet to fool himself and make him think that the bracelet was broken.
The bracelet was on Yu Dong at the time, and she took it back later. Afterwards, Yu Dong fell and bumped into two servants, who were the servants of King Wei. Ji Youran must have felt that even if she found that the bracelet on Yu Dong was broken, she would not dare to say anything, after all, the person at the time was King Wei Pei Qingmin.
In the end, he could only blame himself for his bad luck, and she could exchange his blood jade bracelet without making any noise.
The corners of her lips curled up silently, and her smile was icy. She had known for a long time that Ji Youran would definitely take action when she saw her bracelet. It was not because of the value of the bracelet. Ji Youran had an indescribable liking and concern for the pair of blood jade bracelets. You could tell from the moment she snatched her sister's bracelet and put it on her hand.
Picking up the small piece of blood jade bracelet, Qu Moying pursed her lips tightly and stroked that piece with trembling slender fingers. That piece of bracelet was very small, only as big as the tip of the little finger. The broken edge was not smooth and there was a gap on the bracelet ring. It was badly broken. There was a bloodthirsty chill in her eyes.
It seemed that even if I died, they would not let me go.
After he was pushed into the lake and died that day, Pei Luoan must have sent people to salvage his body. This small piece of blood jade bracelet must have been salvaged from there.
The blood jade bracelet is very small, and even harder to find after being broken into several pieces. It is also a stroke of luck to be able to find such a small piece.
Although this short section is small, it has a small receptacle hanging on it. The receptacle of a five-petal flower, the emerald on it is no longer there, and there are three emeralds of similar size placed in the corner. This is Ji Youran's way of trying to distract his vision.
Unfortunately, she could tell at a glance that these emeralds were not hers.
Ji Youran took it for granted that as long as she saw the bracelet was broken or snapped, she would not check it again. After all, this jewelry box was the same as before, and there was no way she could be wrong.
Unfortunately, she was wrong. She was not only Qu Moying, but also Ji Hanyue.
There was a sharp pain in her finger, which was caused by her accidentally scratching the broken edge of the bracelet when she held it too hard. Blood immediately gushed out from Yubai's finger.
"Miss." Yudong screamed.
Qu Moying shook his hand, signaling her not to panic, and put down the blood jade bracelet stained with his own blood. The pain in his heart surged up like a tide.
Seeing the blood jade bracelet, she was most distressed for her sister. Her sister was so young, and was killed.
Even his arm was chopped off, just for this bracelet
Now this bracelet is in Ji Youran's hand, and Ji Youran even planned to buy the one in her hand to make it a pair.
“Miss…” Yudong called her softly again.
The young lady's face looked very sad and she didn't even care about her injured hand. Yudong felt inexplicably that the atmosphere was heavy and sad.
"Put it away!" Qu Moying put the bracelet away and closed it.
"Miss, why did Concubine Ji want to change your bracelet?" Yu Dong took it and asked carefully. He was still confused about this matter.
"Mrs. Ling Anbo also has this pair of bracelets, which she gave to the Crown Princess." Qu Moying covered her fingers with a handkerchief and whispered, her head lowered so that her expression could not be seen.
"So this bracelet belongs to the Crown Princess?" Yu Dong thought for a moment and his face changed drastically.
Although the small piece of blood jade bracelet just now looks the same as the others, it is different if you look closely. The receptacle below is very similar to the receptacle on the lady's blood jade bracelet.
Does this mean that there is another reason for the Crown Princess's death? Thinking of this, Yu Dong was no longer calm. He looked at Qu Moying in panic, but saw that Qu Moying's side was as calm as water. He was slightly relieved. It must not be what he thought. The young lady was the Crown Princess's cousin and might know something else.
"I think so, put it away." Qu Moying nodded. She came here today wearing the blood jade bracelet just for this short passage.
In fact, it may not be true, but even if it is just to try her luck, she will give it a try.
She didn't expect that she was so lucky that she actually got it. This small piece of blood jade bracelet seems useless at the moment, but if it is really turned out, it may be a killer move, which can play a role in turning the tables at the most critical moment. What's more, there is a clear receptacle on this small piece.
This is enough!
As for the bracelet given to Ji Youran, it was kept as a clue...
"Yes, I'll put it away!" Yu Dong didn't dare to ask more questions and carefully hid it in his sleeve.
"What did you ask just now?" Qu Moying was silent for a while, calmed down and spoke slowly. She had just asked Yu Dong to inquire about the previous things.
She had never expected to run into Pei Yuanjun head-on. What she had not expected was that Pei Yuanjun not only did not stop, but instead took a few quick steps forward. She subconsciously stepped back and stepped on a piece of gravel. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Pei Yuanjun looked very strange at the time.
It's so strange!
This feeling was very strange, and Qu Moying had a hunch that something was wrong.
"I went to ask, and they said that it was very unexpected that Prince Yun came to the East Palace. Today, the Crown Princess is in mourning. His Royal Highness Prince Yun is an elder and has a special status. He said before that he would not come, but later he came for some reason. Moreover, when he came, he did not go directly to see the Crown Prince, but came to the backyard."
Yu Dong said that this was all the information she could find out. As for the rest, it was beyond the reach of a small maid in the Minister's Mansion like her.
In fact, Yu Dong felt that he would rather ask Eunuch Ji Hai directly, but it was not convenient to go to Eunuch Ji Hai at this time in the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
He also found this matter very strange. The prince's behavior today was really too weird.
"The Prince of Yun did not go to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but came directly to the inner courtyard?" Qu Moying paused, looking somewhat suspicious.
Confused, he casually pressed his fingertips, feeling a dull pain.
"Yes, I heard that's the case." Yu Dong nodded. No matter how he tried to ask indirectly, it was useless and he couldn't find out anything.
"Is there anyone else in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion today?" Qu Moying frowned and asked in a different direction.
"Yes, I heard that Lady Jingyu is here too, along with several other young ladies." Yu Dong got the news very clearly. Even though she felt it was useless, she still inquired about it. Now that Qu Moying asked, it was not difficult for her.
"Today is the day of the Crown Princess's funeral. Why are there so many young ladies here?" Qu Moying pondered for a moment. She had just seen this Lady Jingyu County. When she saw her, she turned around and left. She gave her a cold look, full of disgust and displeasure. It was obvious that she really didn't want to see her.
Although he didn't know how he had offended the Lady of Jingyu County, her appearance here was a very surprising thing.
When the Crown Princess's coffin was being carried out just now, no other ladies or the Lady Jingyu were seen. Logically speaking, since they were in the Crown Prince's Mansion, they should have come out for a while. After all, she was the Crown Princess and had a noble status. Even if they were not close relatives, they should have seen her off for a while.
"I can't find out the truth about this." Yu Dong said with her head down.
Qu Moying's eyes were filled with thoughtfulness. Something happened in the Crown Prince's Mansion today. This was the reason why Lady Jingyu and the other young ladies came here. But on a day like this, what else could be more important than the Crown Princess's funeral
"What could be more important than being a Crown Princess?" Qu Moying wondered in her heart, and muttered to herself. Although she no longer favored the body of the Crown Princess, she understood the weight that came with this identity.
It shouldn't be!
This kind of thing shouldn't happen!
"Could it be another person of noble status?" Yu Dong muttered to the side. After he finished speaking, both the master and the servant raised their heads abruptly and looked at each other in surprise.
Yudong's lips trembled a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Qu Moying exhaled deeply, the corners of her lips curled up silently, and her smile was cold. So she understood that there was such a thing. One had to be extremely impatient for it to happen.
“Miss…” It took Yu Dong a long time to find his voice, and he called Qu Moying in a hoarse voice.
Qu Moying shook his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say anything, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He said that she was the most decent person and the most noble person, but she lacked even the most basic decency. It was really ironic.
"Miss..." Yu Dong wanted to say something else, but suddenly heard a low voice coming from outside, "Miss Qu Si."
After the master and servant exchanged a glance, Yu Dong walked to the door and said to the outside, "What's the matter?"
"I will take Miss Qu Si to have lunch." The maid outside the door said respectfully.
"Can't you bring it over? Our young lady has difficulty walking." Yudong said unhappily, and walked out, and saw a maid from the prince's mansion standing in the corridor.
"It's in the yard next door, very close. The concubine has already asked someone to prepare it." The maid said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask our young lady." Yudong tilted her head back, looking like a domineering maid who relied on her master's power.
"Okay, I'll wait outside." The maid from the East Palace said in a very polite manner.
