Ji Hanyue's spirit tablet was held tightly in Pei Luoan's arms, as if he was holding some most important treasure, and the red candle on it was wiped clean by him personally.
However, this kind of cherishment at the moment made Qu Moying feel ridiculous. Pei Luoan was still so good at pretending. No wonder she really thought that Pei Luoan was sincere to her at that time. She never thought that in the end, the whole family would die in his hands, and Pei Luoan's road to power was stained with her own blood and the blood of her relatives.
Now that Ji Hanyue is dead, Pei Luoan has never let her go and is still taking advantage of her last bit of value.
Love is deep and friendship is as precious as treasure
There is really no need to say all this to a dead person, but since Pei Luoan is willing to act, she will act out a play of deep love and friendship with him.
"Don't worry, Miss Qu Si, I will investigate thoroughly." Pei Luoan said with a gloomy face.
Qu Moying didn't say anything, but turned sideways and bowed to Pei Luoan again, then slowly stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Your Highness, can you let me wipe it clean again?"
Pei Luoan looked at her, then looked at Ji Youran on the side, and slowly handed the spirit tablet in his hand over.
Qu Moying took it and began to wipe it gently with the handkerchief in her hand. She wiped it very seriously, pursed her cherry lips seriously, and wiped it carefully bit by bit.
The handkerchief in his hand was stained with a faint red color, which was the place that Pei Luoan had not wiped clean just now.
The hall fell silent. Pei Luoan's gaze fell on Qu Moying. His cold eyes enveloped her slender figure, as if he was thinking about something. Ji Youran looked at the scene in front of him with jealousy, but did not dare to say anything more.
At this moment, whatever she said was wrong, and whatever she did was wrong. The Crown Prince's words and actions just now had explained everything. Qu Moying mentioned his mother again, and the Crown Prince must have been annoyed with her and her mother again.
Ji Youran wanted to beg for mercy, swallowed the jealousy in her heart, raised her eyes and looked at Pei Luoan: "Your Highness, mother must not have seen it. If she had seen it, she would have told me about it a long time ago..."
Since Qu Moying brought it up, Ji Youran had to explain.
"Your Highness, could you please wait until I finish wiping before talking? Don't disturb my cousin's peace." Qu Moying said in a low voice without raising his head, still wiping carefully with the handkerchief in his hand.
Pei Luoan raised his head and his eyes fell coldly on Ji Youran's face. The coldness in his eyes was like a sharp thorn, almost making Ji Youran unable to stand and fall to the ground.
At this moment, she clearly saw herself in the prince's eyes, but she looked timid and panicked, even a little guilty.
At the end, there was a hint of obvious disgust!
Yes, it was disgust, and it was so clearly evident in the prince's eyes. The look he gave himself no longer had the lingering affection of the past.
Ji Youran suddenly took two steps back, lowered his head, and did not dare to look up and speak again.
The hall fell silent again. Qu Moying did not speak. He finally wiped the tablet in his hand clean and presented it: "Your Highness, it's done!"
"Thank you!" Pei Luoan carefully reached out his hand and took the spirit tablet back. He touched it gently and found it was indeed very clean and no longer slippery.
Qu Moying shook his head. "If Your Highness really cares about the Crown Princess, please pay more attention to her affairs after her death and don't let others plot against her. The Crown Princess is no longer here, and even if there is any grudge, it has already been resolved.
It will all vanish into thin air, so why should we dirty her reincarnation path any further? "
After saying that, he bowed to Pei Luoan and Ji Youran, then slowly left holding Yu Dong's hand.
This reincarnation road? It was already dirty a long time ago, so she came back from the reincarnation road just to avenge the blood feud she had...
Her behavior was almost rude, but Pei Luoan just watched her leave quietly without saying a word. After watching Qu Moying's back disappear from his sight, he turned his head to look at Ji Youran.
"Your Highness..." Ji Youran panicked and said hurriedly.
"Please ask Madam Ji to return home and let her punish Xiao." Pei Luoan ordered coldly.
A guard returned as ordered.
“Your Highness…” Ji Youran knelt down again and pleaded for her mother. If she had just told her grandmother about this in secret, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But if it was the Crown Prince who passed it on to her grandmother, how could her grandmother dare to forgive her mother? “Your Highness, mother really didn’t see it.”
"Then where did the red candle oil come from?" Pei Luoan asked.
This question stumped Ji Youran. She stammered, "Your Highness... I... I... I don't know..."
"Don't know or don't want to know? Ji Youran, I misjudged you. After you go back, move to the courtyard I pointed out to you before. That's where a concubine should live. The reason your previous courtyard was so close to me was just so that it would be convenient for you to take care of the Crown Princess."
Pei Luoan said coldly.
The courtyard where Ji Youran lives now is the main courtyard of the East Palace. It is not much different from the courtyard where Ji Hanyue lived in when she got married. It can almost be said that they are comparable. The other courtyard that Pei Luoan mentioned was the one he pointed to Ji Youran when he was joking before. That was the courtyard of the concubine.
It is not the main courtyard of the Eastern Palace, and the entire layout is much smaller than before. Ji Youran moved from the main courtyard to the concubine's courtyard, which is almost a sign of falling out of favor in the Eastern Palace and the Prince's Mansion. When the main wife comes one day, how many people will take her seriously
"Your Highness..." Ji Youran said in a sad voice.
"Just now, when Fourth Miss Qu was wiping the Crown Princess' spirit tablet, I realized what it means to truly care about the Crown Princess. It's not just about words, the most important thing is to do it." Pei Luoan said coldly.
This is blaming Ji Youran for not wiping Ji Hanyue's spirit tablet clean.
“Your Highness, I wanted to wipe it too, but Your Highness was holding me tightly in your arms at the time, and I…even if I wanted to wipe it, I…there was nothing I could do.” Ji Youran was still explaining.
But this explanation sounded full of ridicule when Pei Luoan heard it.
For such a long time, she stood there in panic and confusion. She was totally out of control and looked guilty and panicked. She didn't have the slightest intention of wiping it. Now she couldn't wipe it even if she wanted to.
In the past, Ji Youran seemed so docile, sensible, and in line with my wishes, but now I dislike her so much, I can even say I hate her.
"Ji Youran, if I had seen Fourth Miss Qu earlier, I might have let Fourth Miss Qu enter the Eastern Palace to serve the Crown Princess. Maybe the Crown Princess's health could get better. At least she treats her sincerely." Pei Luoan said lightly.
"Your Highness..." Ji Youran wanted to explain, but Pei Luoan waved his hand and said, "Please go back to the palace, Concubine."
Two guards came over, one on each side, and pretended to pull Ji Youran up.
