Qu Moying subconsciously lowered her head in the direction of his finger. It was her own cuff. Her clear almond eyes were a little confused. She didn't understand what Pei Yuanjun meant by pointing at her cuff.
Pei Yuanjun reached out, grasped her wrist, and lifted it up. Only then did Qu Moying see a few spots of blood on her sleeve.
Pei Yuanjun held her hand and pulled up her sleeve, revealing two scratches on her fair and slender wrist, with blood oozing out.
"How did you do it?" Pei Yuanjun asked.
Qu Moying was also stunned for a moment, but then she understood and moved her hands twice, trying to pull her hand out of Pei Yuanjun's hand. However, Pei Yuanjun's hand was too tight. She moved twice and couldn't move at all.
"Maybe I accidentally scratched it when I was in the pavilion just now." Qu Moying had to explain vaguely.
Just now in the pavilion, during a scene with Yu Dong, he might not have noticed and accidentally got scratched. There were only two scratches, and Qu Moying didn't feel anything at the time, but only now did he feel a slight pain.
It didn't look serious, so I didn't take it seriously.
"Don't you like this concubine in the Eastern Palace?" Pei Yuanjun raised his eyebrows, his handsome eyes fell on Qu Moying's face, his eyes were deep.
Can't tell whether he is happy or angry.
The question was too direct. Qu Moying pursed her lips slightly, then nodded solemnly.
She and Ji Youran will eventually stand on opposing sides, and Pei Yuanjun cannot hide this from her.
"Let me help you?" Pei Yuanjun suddenly smiled.
"Thank you, Your Highness. It's just some trivial matters between women. There's no need for Your Highness to help." Qu Moying's heart trembled and he shook his head with a smile.
"Some trivial matters? It doesn't look like that to me!" Pei Yuanjun narrowed his eyes, leaned back, and pulled Qu Moying forward two steps before he stood in front of him.
"I always feel that this concubine doesn't care that much about my cousin." Qu Moying explained after a moment of silence.
"Why?" Pei Yuanjun's eyes fell on her, with a bit of laziness, as if he really asked this question unintentionally. Qu Moying did not dare to take it lightly, and quickly gathered other thoughts in her mind. After thinking for a while, she said, "Your Highness, everyone says that this concubine entered the prince's mansion to take care of her cousin. It was also because of her cousin that she became the prince's concubine. Speaking of it, everyone thinks that she has a deep affection for her cousin, but..."
Qu Moying paused here, calmed down his breath, and looked more calm. He raised his head and looked at Pei Yuanjun, "But I don't think so."
"How do you think it's not true?" Pei Yuanjun looked at her for a few seconds, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the blood from the scratch for her. His movements were gentle and his voice was a little gentle.
This made Qu Moying secretly relieved. "I think this concubine is quite ambitious. She is definitely not the kind concubine who only cares about my cousin as others say. Today I deliberately plotted against her once, but she also plotted against me before. She kept calling me cousin Qu, but she was plotting against me. I wonder if she plotted against my cousin in the same way."
What happened today could not be hidden from Pei Yuanjun, nor did she want to hide it from Pei Yuanjun. Some reasons could be explained as long as they were pushed onto Ji Hanyue. After all, she was Ji Hanyue's cousin now, and a cousin who was grateful to Ji Hanyue.
"Ah, it hurts!"
The sharp pain on his wrist made Qu Moying cry out subconsciously. He looked down and saw that the scratch that had stopped bleeding was bleeding again because of Pei Yuanjun's rubbing.
Pei Yuanjun waved to the side, and Ji Hai immediately took the prepared medicine bottle. Pei Yuanjun took it and sprinkled medicine powder on the wound, put the medicine bottle in Ji Hai's hand, and took a clean white leather belt from him and tied it up for her little by little.
"pain?"
"It doesn't hurt that much, it just hurt for a moment." Qu Moying laughed dryly. The pain was so severe just now that she still felt some numbness and pain, which made her unable to recover for a while. She didn't see that the scratch didn't look that deep, but in fact the wound inside was not small. It was her own negligence.
"Since it hurts, clean it up early to prevent the wound from festering." Pei Yuanjun said casually and threw the remaining things to Ji Hai, who retreated cautiously.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qu Moying wanted to pull back her hand to salute, but her hand was still held in Pei Yuanjun's big hand.
"You deliberately had someone tamper with the Crown Princess's spirit tablet today just to provoke this concubine and check whether she is sincere to the Crown Princess?" Pei Yuanjun asked casually.
"Yes!" Qu Moying nodded.
"You really don't need my help? My Western Prison is actually quite good." Pei Yuanjun asked.
"Really, there's no need. Thank you, Your Highness." Qu Moying was speechless and could only express his gratitude. With Ji Youran's identity, could he be taken directly to the Western Prison? He didn't know what the prince was thinking.
Of course, Qu Moying would not think that Pei Yuanjun's words were nonsense. She really couldn't guess what this man wanted to do. Not only her, but I believe no one could guess it.
Since she had already explained the topic, she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Her watery eyes moved and fell on the pen in front of the desk. They were originally talking about this pen.
"Your Highness, a pen like this must be worth a lot, right?" Qu Moying asked. There are some things that she can just do slowly by herself. Now that she is reborn and without her father and sister, it means that she will go on this road of revenge alone.
No matter how hard it is to walk on the single-plank bridge, she has to keep walking on it. This is her mission of rebirth and also her unspeakable secret.
"Indeed, but if you want, I can give you a box." Pei Yuanjun's eyes showed some displeasure, and he pinched her hand hard. Qu Moying immediately frowned in pain, bit her lip, and looked at Pei Yuanjun. Her clear and beautiful eyes were slightly misty because of the sudden pain, which made her look more charming.
The faint blush at the corners of her eyes gave her a naturally delicate look. Standing next to the elegant Pei Yuanjun, she was so stunning that one could not take their eyes off her.
Yes, it is indeed stunning. The two people just standing there are like a beautiful painting.
The stinging pain in her wrist eased again. Qu Moying slightly opened her cherry lips and let out a breath secretly. She didn't understand what the Prince of Yun meant. She had angered him twice in just a short while.
Qu Moying really didn't understand what he meant, so he became more cautious in his response.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Is it okay for Yudong to be around? Do you want me to replace you with someone else?" Pei Yuanjun suddenly asked.
Yu Dong, who heard this not far away, was startled and could not move.
Dare not move.
"Yudong is very good. There is no need to change him again. Changing him more often will make people suspicious." Qu Moying shook her head. Yudong was indeed very good to her. There were some things that Yudong was most suitable to do. Besides, when he came here, he also brought two subordinates with him, but they were always hiding in the dark.
This time, it was Yu Dong who ordered his men to take action, and only then were Ji Youran successfully trapped.
"Although hanging her in the pavilion looks scary, it also makes people wonder whether this maid knows martial arts." Pei Yuanjun said leisurely.
Qu Moying thought about it and shook her head: "It's just a suspicion. No one will take it seriously. I am just an unappreciated daughter of the Qu family. There is no way I can have a maid who is good at martial arts. Even Qu Qiuyan doesn't have one, let alone me."
If people knew about what Yu Dong did before and that he was good at martial arts, they would definitely suspect Qu Moying. The fence was indeed tampered with at that time, but it was shaken loose by Yu Dong early on, and it was not cut in half by a sharp weapon. Then Yu Dong took advantage of Ji Youran's slap to turn around and crash into it, and the fence was naturally broken.
Qu Moying knew that Ji Youran would not give up and would definitely come to him to talk, so he chose such a position and waited for Ji Youran to come.
"If you find Yudong no longer useful in the future, I will replace it with another one for you." Qu Moying refused again and again, and Pei Yuanjun said nothing more and said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qu Moying thanked him, and Yu Dong finally felt relieved.
Pei Yuanjun suddenly stopped talking. He held Qu Moying's hand with one hand, turned around, put his other hand behind his back, and looked at the pine forest outside the attic. The wind blew, and the pine waves made a sound. It seemed very quiet here.
Qu Moying was pulled closer by her and almost bumped into his shoulder. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, stopped quickly, and looked up at the pine forest outside.
"This used to be the place where Princess Hengyang lived, but now it belongs to me. If you come to Qingyun Temple in the future, you can come here to take a look." Pei Yuanjun's cold voice came from above his head. Where Qu Moying couldn't see, there was a hint of sinisterness in his sleeping phoenix eyes.
"This place... doesn't it say that no one can enter casually? One must be of royal blood." Qu Moying asked tentatively.
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. This place is my place now, and I have the final say on all the rules." Pei Yuanjun said lazily, "However, next time you come, things here may look different. They don't need to be fancy, just simple."
He had occupied this place a long time ago, but he didn't care about it. He just came to see it before and didn't ask anyone to take care of it.
"Your Highness..." Qu Moying subconsciously raised his head, wanting to see Pei Yuanjun's face, but his raised chin was suddenly pinched by a big hand. Qu Moying could only stretch his neck and raise his face. Because he was facing the light, he couldn't see the expression on his face for a while. He just felt that Pei Yuanjun was a little dangerous at this time, with a bit of bloodthirsty cruelty.
Subconsciously trying to step back, her body fell into a solid embrace. Slender fingers touched Qu Moying's beautiful cherry lips. There was a bone-chilling, yet strange and wild feeling. Qu Moying felt like she couldn't breathe for a moment, and she just stared blankly at Pei Yuanjun in front of her.
She was inexplicably horrified and her heart was beating inexplicably. Even though she had been reborn with a strong will, her mind was blank at this moment and she couldn't react...
Pei Yuanjun in front of him looked like a cannibal...
