Looking at King Jing who had disappeared, Qu Qiuyan was at a loss. She had never encountered such a situation before. There were lights on the road ahead and many shadows of people. Looking at the direction where King Jing disappeared, Qu Qiuyan subconsciously wanted to chase after him.
I walked a few steps to the corner where King Jing disappeared, and saw that it was not a road, but only a barren field of strange rocks. It was inconvenient to walk in the dark.
Qu Qiuyan didn't expect to see such a scene. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't.
"The third young lady from Minister Qu's house?" The people on the opposite side had already seen this side. The person in front recognized Qu Qiuyan and said in a cold voice.
When Qu Qiuyan saw it, she turned pale with panic. It turned out to be the lady from the Ling Anbo Mansion.
Madam Ji didn't have any good feelings towards Qu Qiuyan, or rather, no one in Minister Qu's mansion had a good impression of her. It seemed that Qu Moying had helped her before, so she didn't say anything to Qu Moying and Yan Yuese, and even sent gifts to express her gratitude.
He looked Qu Qiuyan up and down and saw that there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes and she looked flustered. He then looked at the dark corridor. He didn't know where it led to, but it was obvious that such a deserted place was not a place for a young lady from a wealthy family to come. At this time, which well-behaved young lady would appear in such a remote place? Seeing this made people very suspicious.
A maid whispered something to Madam Ji, and Madam Ji's eyes turned to the messy place again. The maid just now had a sharp eye and actually said that she seemed to see someone passing by here from a distance.
This Miss Qu San is having a secret meeting with a man!
"Greetings, Madam Ji." Qu Qiuyan had no way to escape at this point, so she could only calm herself down and turn sideways to greet.
Madam Ji snorted coldly: "Miss Qu San came here at this time, is it possible that she came to meet someone, but she didn't want the Madam to know?"
No matter how she looked at it, this Miss Qu San seemed to be secretly meeting with her lover, and Madam Ji became more and more contemptuous of her.
Waving his hand, he said impatiently: "Miss Qu San, you don't have to explain to me. I'm not the lady of your house. Miss Qu San, please do as you please!"
She was not even allowed to make an explanation.
Qu Qiuyan felt ashamed and embarrassed, her face turned blue and white, but she had to watch Madam Ji enter the Buddhist temple, biting her lips until they almost bled.
"Miss Qu San, I have something to tell you. If you want to plot against someone in the future, it has nothing to do with me. After all, you are the lady of the Qu Mansion, and I am the wife of the Ji Mansion. But please don't hurt others by mistake. If this incident happens again, don't blame me for not giving face to your wife."
Madam Ji suddenly stopped again, turned around and said coldly.
Qu Qiuyan was so ashamed that tears welled up in her eyes when she heard what Madam Ji said. She pinched Qingju's hand hard and tried to calm herself down. There was no benefit for her to go against Madam Ji, so she could only endure it at this time and could not even explain.
This feeling of powerlessness made her feel angry and resentful. It was that bitch Qu Moying who had brought her to this point.
People like Qu Qiuyan never see her scheming against others. They think it is natural for Qu Moying to be schemed against by her, and if Qu Moying resists, it is against the will of heaven.
"Miss, it hurts." Qingju finally couldn't help it and pleaded in a low voice.
"Useless bitch." Qu Qiuyan pinched her a few more times, then let go and turned away.
She had to go back immediately. If her grandmother knew that she had secretly run out to see King Jing, there would be another storm.
It could be said that even her father could not protect her. The most important thing was that King Jing did not give her the expected position of principal wife, leaving her without a backer.
Pei Yuanjun was sitting lazily on the crossbeam of the Buddhist temple's gate. Although Qu Moying's face was pale with fear, she held his clothes tightly and half-leaned on him motionlessly. She didn't dare to move for fear of falling down accidentally.
If you fall down at this time, not only will you be half dead, but it will also ruin everything.
When Mrs. Ji came in, she kowtowed respectfully to the Buddha statue, then lowered her voice and whispered in Pei Yuanjun's ear, "Why is Mrs. Ji here?"
She knew in her previous life that Madam Ji was a Buddhist, but she had never known that she would come to such a remote Buddhist temple to worship in the middle of the night. Judging from Madam Ji's previous behavior, she was scared to death. How could she dare to bring people out at this time? Shouldn't she hold on to the quilt tightly and dare not move
"You watch first." Pei Yuanjun's voice came into her ears, with a hint of smile, and he even blew a breath towards her earlobe with malice. Qu Moying was startled and almost fell off the beam. She hugged Pei Yuanjun tightly to slow down her body.
Pei Yuanjun sat there leisurely, with his hands placed aside maliciously, without any intention of helping Qu Moying. Seeing that Qu Moying had to hold him carefully, a charming smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
In the Buddhist temple, the lady chanted something to the Buddha statue in the middle and kowtowed several times.
Several maids retreated to the door, leaving Madam Ji alone in the dim hall.
Mrs. Ji's voice also became louder. Qu Moying listened hard and could only vaguely hear: "Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you... My son, please don't do evil... Hanyue is doing well in heaven... Enjoy your life..."
Qu Moying looked speechlessly at Madam Ji who was still muttering to herself, and saw her take out a Buddhist scripture and a small wooden fish and start chanting the scriptures.
The Sutra of Rebirth helps ghosts to ascend to the Western Paradise.
The corners of her lips curled up, and she narrowed her eyes, with a cold look in her eyes. She understood that the old lady was afraid of being haunted by evil spirits, so she came out to recite the sutra. As for why she found such a remote place, she naturally didn't want anyone to know.
There is a huge causal relationship between Ji Hanyue and Daddy's death. Even if the grandmother in the previous life didn't know, she should have been able to guess it. That's why she was so panicked and was frightened by herself before.
Madam Ji recited the mantra haltingly, and at the end she prayed to the Buddha statue for safety and the safety of the entire mansion. Then she stood up. The old woman waiting at the door heard the noise from inside, came in, helped her to rest for a while, and then left with the lantern.
There was only a dim light in the hall. I could quietly see the smoke rising from the cigarettes in the hall and I could tell that someone had just left.
Pei Yuanjun hugged Qu Moying and jumped down from above. Qu Moying helped Pei Yuanjun stand steadily, then slowly walked to the front of the Buddha statue. Looking at the somewhat ferocious Buddha statue, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "Let's go!"
"Why are you unhappy?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows.
"There's nothing to be unhappy about, and nothing to be happy about either." Qu Moying said lightly.
"That would be a waste of my good intentions." Pei Yuanjun said lazily.
"What do you mean?" Qu Moying turned around and looked at Pei Yuanjun in confusion.
"Mrs. Ji was able to find such a remote Buddhist temple because of my help. Qu Qiuyan was also my idea.
Just came here.”
Pei Yuanjun said with a smile.
Therefore, the farce we just saw was not a coincidence at all, but Pei Yuanjun did it on purpose. He turned aside helplessly and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"That's how you thank me, no sincerity at all?" Pei Yuanjun looked at her extremely charming face under the lamp, and asked lazily, "Do you want to go see what King Jing is doing?"
"No need. What happens to King Jing has nothing to do with me." Qu Moying shook his head and said decisively.
Pei Yuanjun suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "Don't you want to know what happened between Prince Jing and Liu Lanxin?"
Qu Moying didn't want to know about King Jing's affairs, but this young lady's affairs were closely related to her. She couldn't help but pause for a moment, then asked, "Will Miss Liu come back?"
"Of course I will." Pei Yuanjun replied with a smile. His handsome eyebrows and eyes showed a bit of charm under the light, which made people feel that the so-called unparalleled young man in the world must be referring to him.
This question had a special meaning. Qu Moying shouldn't have asked it, but thinking that this matter might also concern him, he couldn't help but ask one more question, "Will it take a long time?"
"It won't be long. The road has been paved for them, so how can it be far!" Pei Yuanjun raised his sleeves slightly and walked towards the entrance of the palace. There was some indescribable weirdness in his voice, as if some strange creature was sliding past coldly, making people shudder.
Qu Moying suddenly didn't know what to say. She blinked her watery eyes and felt that these things were still far away from her. All she could do now was to take one step at a time. She shouldn't care about such family and national affairs, and she couldn't care about them. As for the future? What future did she have
Thinking of this in her heart, she suddenly raised her head and was about to speak. Pei Yuanjun suddenly turned his head and met her charming eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, do you have something to say?"
Qu Moying shook her head decisively and pursed her lips slightly.
"Since you have nothing to say, just follow me!" Pei Yuanjun pointed outside the door.
Qu Moying stopped and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need to go over there. If I go back, I might be seen by others."
"Don't you want to wear the veil anymore?" Pei Yuanjun pointed at her face.
Qu Moying touched his face subconsciously, and then he realized that his veil was still in the yard, "There may be more in Yudong."
Whenever she traveled, each of her maids would wear an extra veil over their eyes just in case.
"Come here, I'll get it for you." Pei Yuanjun said, reaching out to take out a veil from his wide robe sleeve. It was the one that Qu Moying had dropped before.
I don't know when it fell into his hands.
Then why let me go with him
Qu Moying subconsciously looked at Pei Yuanjun, only to see that Pei Yuanjun was also looking at her, with a beautiful face and an elegant smile that was quite meaningful.
Qu Moying smiled generously, walked slowly up to Pei Yuanjun, and slowly closed his eyes.
Under the light and shadow, the charming girl closed her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes resting quietly on her eyelids, her facial features were delicate and beautiful, and she looked a little uneasy. Her deep eyes would move from time to time, making her eyelashes seem to be a little alert. Even with her eyes closed, one could sense her uneasiness.
But she just stood in front of him quietly and openly, even though she was alert and flustered, she still went forward without any hesitation...
