This pearl flower looks very familiar, so familiar that one can see the pink petals on it as a blood color, a deep blood color.
The cold blood poured into Qu Moying's body, as if only the beating heart still retained its original color, while the rest of the body had been soaked and assimilated by the blood, and then he saw the scene that had happened in the blood.
What a gorgeous pearl flower, what a profound love, but it turned out to be just an ordinary gift.
What was once held in the palm of your hand becomes garbage at your feet the next moment, and it is particularly dirty.
"Hanyue, I found a woman who is good at craftsmanship to make this pearl flower. I cut the petals myself. I hope you don't mind if they are not well made. If I have the chance in the future, I will design more jewelry for you myself, so that you can only wear the jewelry I designed for you in the future."
The prince looked at her softly and smiled, gentle and elegant, with tender affection in his eyes.
And just now, she saw a shallow scar on the tip of the prince's finger. It turned out to be caused by making a pearl flower for her. Ji Hanyue felt distressed.
"Thank you, Your Highness, but don't do it again in the future. How can a prince of such stature do such things? It would be bad if someone saw it."
Ji Hanyue lowered her head, moved again, bit her lip, and whispered with a red face.
“Red sleeves have always added fragrance. It’s nothing that I made this pearl flower now. In the future... when you marry into the East Palace, I will make pearl flowers, earrings, and hairpins for you. I will also make a hairpin with your name on it. A hundred years later, even if both you and I are gone, with these, more people will surely sing our story.” Pei Luoan’s voice became more affectionate.
He has always been gentle and kind to others, and he cares especially about Ji Hanyue. Ever since they got engaged, Pei Luoan would send her anything good to please her.
Is that why she ended up with her family broken up
This scene later became bloody and cruel. The pain was like having her heart cut out. Even if she was reborn, her heart was no longer there.
"Miss... what's wrong with this pearl flower?" Yu Dong was very good at reading people's expressions. When he saw Qu Moying's lips turned pale without a trace of blood, he asked cautiously.
"There's nothing wrong, I just feel it looks familiar." Qu Moying took a deep breath to dispel the biting coldness in his limbs.
"Look familiar? Has the young lady ever had this kind of palace beauties before?" Yu Dong blinked and asked in confusion. He had already found out a lot about his young lady's background when he came here. She was brought up in a farm outside the city since she was a child. There was no way that this palace beauties could have gotten into her hands.
"Have these palace flowers bloomed recently?" Qu Moying asked instead of answering.
"Yes, I heard that it was thought up by a palace maid. Many ladies in the palace liked it very much, and it became very popular for a while." Yu Dong replied.
"How long will it take?" Qu Moying lowered her eyes, her pupils dark beneath her veil.
"It was about a month ago." Yu Dong thought for a moment and answered uncertainly. He actually didn't care about such women's affairs, and there were no women around the prince who required him to pay attention to these things.
"Before and after the prince's wedding?" Qu Moying asked again.
"Yes, it was around the time of the Crown Prince's wedding." Yu Dong clapped his hands and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it was at that time."
"Before the wedding or after the wedding?" Qu Moying clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her fingertips pierced into her palm through the soft handkerchief, and her cherry lips subconsciously pursed tightly.
"Let me think about it." Yu Dong stretched out her fingers and counted carefully, then said with certainty: "It should be before the wedding.
A few days!"
Just a few days before the wedding, the so-called palace flower that was made for him alone had spread, but he knew nothing about it. The corners of his tightly pursed lips slowly relaxed, revealing a mocking smile.
How blind I must have been in my previous life to have been deceived by Pei Luoan.
If I had known this matter early in my previous life, I would have been alert. It turned out that the dead end of my previous life had already been revealed at that time, but I knew nothing about it.
"Miss, I heard that this palace maid was the maidservant of Concubine He. The pearl flowers that Miss Third is wearing now should also be given to her by Prince Jing." Yu Dong did not notice Qu Moying's emotions and was still thinking about the pearl flowers.
"Was this pearl flower thought up by someone in Concubine He's palace?" Qu Moying asked, calming down.
"Yes, it was from Concubine He's palace. That time, I followed our master into the palace and heard a few palace maids from Concubine He's palace gossiping and talking about it." Yu Dong thought for a moment and answered.
Concubine He? Crown Prince Pei Luoan
Qu Moying's mind suddenly moved. Aren't these two people rivals? Could it be that Pei Luoan went to find Concubine He to please her by tying beads? This is impossible, so what other reasons are there
He casually picked up the pearl flower and sniffed it between his nose. There was a faint fragrance, very elegant and tempting, just like the smell he smelled that day. A month later, when he smelled it again, his face suddenly changed drastically. The pearl flower in his hand fell on the table with a tiny sound.
"Miss, what's wrong?" The two maids were startled, and Yuchun asked hurriedly.
Qu Moying's fingers trembled slightly, and he picked up the pearl flower again, put it to his nose and took a light sniff. It had a faint scent, very refreshing and pleasant.
In her previous life, she had worn a pearl flower in public once. Because this pearl flower was made by Pei Luoan himself, she had never been willing to wear it and would only look at it occasionally. The only time she wore it was when Pei Luoan jokingly said he wanted to see how she looked when she wore it. But that time, something happened to her.
That time, still in the Prince's Mansion in the Eastern Palace, I delivered a gift to the Prince on behalf of my father. I went there with Ji Youran. After the two of them entered the Eastern Palace, it happened that Prince Jing was also in the Prince's Mansion, so they sat in the pavilion and chatted together. After a while, Ji Youran took the maid to change clothes, and the Prince was called away for something, leaving only me and Prince Jing.
Because she had drunk some fruit wine before, she felt a little tired while talking to King Jing. She fell on the table in a daze. When she woke up, she found that she and King Jing were leaning against each other. King Jing's hand was still on her shoulder, and she seemed to be half leaning on King Jing.
I suddenly woke up and hurriedly pushed King Jing away, only to find that King Jing was just drunk and leaning on the table. The two of them were close to each other and somehow they bumped into each other.
After being pushed by Ji Hanyue, King Jing woke up. His face turned pale with panic and he kept saying sorry. He didn't stay here anymore and said goodbye in a hurry without even meeting Crown Prince Pei Luoan.
This matter was a bit strange, but fortunately it was not a big deal. Only one of King Jing's confidants and one of his maids were present at the time, and no one would know about it. Although Qu Moying was very panicked, he slowly calmed down. Then Ji Youran came back, and then Pei Luoan came back.
When Pei Luoan came back, his face was not very good. She thought Pei Luoan had encountered something, and she tried to comfort him, but it didn't work. He even sat there with a gloomy face. Then she and Ji Youran left together. Pei Luoan, who was the most polite in front of her in the past, didn't see them off, but just waved his hand to let them go.
leave.
Although she and Pei Yusheng had gone too far in this matter, it was just an accident. Ji Hanyue did not take it to heart at the time, but when she smelled this smell again, she felt a strong chill.
There is a fragrance in the scent of flowers, which is very light, very faint, and very shallow, but if you smell it too much, it can make people tired and drowsy.
In the previous life, Ji Hanyue didn’t understand these things, but in this life, Qu Moying followed Nanny Miao and was able to tell them apart at once.
It turns out that it wasn't just the wine that was the cause, but the palace flower.
Did Pei Luoan plot against him, or did someone plot against him and himself? Pei Luoan and Ji Youran had been together for a long time, so she must have been able to make this "meticulously" made palace flower.
"There is a strange smell in this incense that can make people sleepy." Qu Moying said lightly, his eyes cold and icy.
"The Third Miss wants to harm the Fourth Miss?" Yu Dong understood immediately.
"It's a very light smell. Even if someone discovers it, they can say that a tranquilizer was added. It really won't make people feel there is anything wrong. Even if the imperial physician comes to check, he can't find anything." Qu Moying curled her lips. If she hadn't had an accident in her previous life, she wouldn't care in this life even if she felt the fragrance was different.
It's just some very light fragrance, which makes you drowsy but not completely unconscious. Of course, if you drink some fruit wine or something like that, you might really be completely unconscious for a while.
Just like that day...
"The third young lady hasn't given up yet and still wants to harm young lady." Yu Dong understood immediately and said angrily.
"If I don't die, neither she nor the Yu family will be willing to accept it." Qu Moying said lightly, very calmly, as if he was not talking about his own business.
Such calmness and peace made the two maids fall silent.
After a long while, Yuchun looked at the jewelry box on the table and asked, "Miss, since you can't wear it, just put it away."
"No need, just leave it here. It's okay to put it in the box." Qu Moying put down the pearl flower in his hand and closed the box.
Yuchun took it and looked at Qu Moying.
"Put it in front of the dressing table, in a conspicuous place." Qu Moying looked up at the dressing table and said, this is the perfume room for the female relatives. There is a simple dressing table in the main room for the female relatives to wash and dress up.
Qu Qiuyan wants to change her ways, which means she will definitely use others. However, Qu Caiyue is in trouble now and dares not to reach out. Will Yu Qingmeng be the next to suffer? If so, it is just in time...
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the news that Yu Qingmeng had also arrived at Dabei Temple reached Qu Moying's ears. Qu Moying smiled faintly, nodded indifferently, and did not care about Yu Qingmeng coming to find Qu Qiuyan.
But after a while, Yu Qingmeng came to the door.
However, Qu Qiuyan did not come with them. Only Yu Qingmeng came with her maid.
Yu Dong went out to open the door and welcomed the person in. Seeing Yu Qingmeng, who had changed into a woman's attire, Qu Moying smiled faintly and looked calm, not showing any displeasure at all because of the broken engagement.
"Miss Qu Si, I am here today to apologize to you on behalf of my wife." Yu Qingmeng said to Qu Moying rudely after entering the room.
She acts like she thinks she is the eldest daughter of the Yu family, which is really dislikeable.
She also acted like the Crown Prince's wife.
Qu Moying asked Yuchun to bring her tea, then she picked up the teacup and took a sip before slowly looking up. Ever since she knew that Yu Qingmeng went up the mountain, she knew that Yu Qingmeng would definitely come over.
But it came so fast...
