"Fourth Miss, the second master wants you to step out for a while. He said that Lady Jingyu has arrived and wants you to accompany her to see Third Miss." Yuchun came in to report.
"Already here?" Qu Moying asked, not surprised.
Since Qu Zhizhen provoked King Jing to take action and made Qu Qiuyan a concubine, Liu Jingyu would inevitably be implicated.
Pei Yusheng was able to take action because Qu Qiuyan had already become a concubine, but Pei Luoan could not, after all, there was no clear relationship between the two.
The matter of the Crown Princess is not something that can be decided casually.
Not to mention the Crown Princess, even the concubine of King Jing was not chosen casually. Only for a position like a concubine, the court officials did not have much say, and King Jing could make the final decision and ask for an order immediately.
"I'm here, with Minister Liu." Yu Chun said.
Minister Liu actually came with Liu Jingyu? Qu Moying was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He had heard that Minister Liu was very good to his wife and daughter, but he had never thought of that before.
Of course, her adoptive father would never do such a thing, which is why she didn't consider this.
He stood up, tidied himself up a little, and took Yudong to the front hall.
The servant outside the door saw her coming and hurried in to report, and soon invited her in.
Qu Moying walked in and saw a handsome middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the lobby. He had a dignified and generous look, and looked older than Qu Zhizhen. He heard that the two were in the same department and should be of similar age, but his temperament was completely different from Qu Zhizhen.
Qu Moying took a curious look and then bowed his head to Qu Zhizhen and said, "Greetings, father."
"This one is Minister Liu." Qu Zhizhen said.
Qu Moying stepped forward and bowed to Minister Liu, then bowed to Liu Jingyu who was sitting next to him, and then sat down on the chair next to Liu Jingyu.
Sensing that someone was silently watching him from above, Qu Moying lowered his head and did not move. That person should be Minister Liu.
He seems to be very righteous, but I don't know if he is really righteous.
Liu Jingyu and himself are like water and fire!
"Miss Qu Si's eyes are not healed yet?" Minister Liu asked gently after examining Qu Moying.
Liu Jingyu looked back at his father in astonishment. His father was a very indifferent person. Even when it came to family matters, he usually didn't ask much.
"It's almost healed, but it's still a little afraid of strong light. I'll just keep it tied up like this on weekdays. I should be able to take it off after a while."
Qu Zhizhen explained casually.
"Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?" Minister Liu continued to ask.
"No, but when Ying'er returned home, she was already well. She was just recuperating, after all, her eyes had been injured for too long." Qu Zhizhen said with a smile.
"Oh, it would be best if the eye disease is cured. A young girl shouldn't have her life ruined by an eye disease." Minister Liu's voice sounded gentle, and he really cared about her.
Qu Moying couldn't help but secretly glance at him again, and met Minister Liu's smiling eyes. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like Minister Liu had any ill will towards him.
"Ying'er, take the county lady to see your third sister first." Qu Zhizhen nodded and said to Qu Moying with a smile.
Qu Moying stood up and said, "County Lord, please follow me."
Although Liu Jingyu was unwilling, he did not show it on his face at this time. He also stood up with a smile and followed Qu Moying. The two of them left the living room one after another.
"Miss Qu Si, Miss San hasn't woken up yet?" Liu Jingyu asked after they got outside.
"Third sister hasn't woken up yet." Qu Moying nodded.
"Have you asked the imperial physician to see you?" Liu Jingyu asked again.
"I asked the imperial physician to take a look." Qu Moying nodded.
"I have also invited the imperial physician to come with me this time. Why not let the imperial physician take a look?" Liu Jingyu asked.
Qu Moying nodded without hesitation: "That's the best!"
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Liu Jingyu gave her a suspicious look. Qu Moying's face was very calm, and there was no sign of guilt on her face.
He fainted and never woke up. She really didn't believe it, so she asked her father to bring the imperial physician over to verify the matter.
Now looking at Qu Moying's signs, he seems to be calm and unhurried. Could it be true
But she really didn't believe it, so she called the imperial physician who was waiting in the side room, and two of them brought the imperial physician to Furong Pavilion.
When he arrived at the yard, entered the main house, and went into the inner room, he saw Qu Qiuyan lying motionless on the bed. He hadn't seen her for just one day, and Qu Qiuyan looked weak, pale, and haggard.
Qingju was guarding by the bed. When she heard the sound, she quickly stood up and saluted them both.
"How is third sister?" Qu Moying asked.
"The young lady still hasn't woken up. It's been so long, and she still hasn't woken up. I... I'm scared..." Qingju cried. She looked flustered and confused, with red and swollen eyes, which showed that she had been crying for some time.
Liu Jingyu looked at Qu Qiuyan, who was lying motionless on the bed, with suspicion, waved his hand, and the imperial physician came forward to take her pulse.
Qingju let down the gauze curtain and placed Qu Qiuyan's hand on the pulse pillow. The imperial physician sat on the chair in front of the bed, put his hand on it, and frowned tightly.
Nothing seems to be happening.
I changed hands and re-examined them, but still found nothing.
But the person was right here, indeed dizzy and not moving at all.
And after a careful feeling, the blood seemed to be faster, and the hand was a little hot, could it be because of this reason? But this reason does not seem to make people unconscious.
"Imperial Physician, what's the matter?" Liu Jingyu stepped forward and asked.
The imperial physician was speechless for a moment. If there was nothing wrong, it was just that there were some differences in the blood vessels and skin. If there was something wrong, there seemed to be no other abnormalities. But the fact was that the patient was unconscious. He heard that several colleagues had examined the patient before and they all said that there was something wrong and they had to wake the patient up first. They also tried acupuncture on the philtrum, but failed to wake the patient up.
If this is okay, why would people keep doing this
"Imperial Physician..." Liu Jingyu asked again.
"Miss Qu San may not have been in good health to begin with, and this time, coupled with some other things...she may not be able to bear it all at once, so she suddenly fainted." The imperial physician finally found a suitable topic and stood up and said to Liu Jingyu.
"When can third sister wake up?" Qu Moying took two steps forward, put Qu Qiuyan's hand into the tent, and asked.
His fingers touched Qu Qiuyan's skin, which felt a little hot, and his blood flowed quickly when his fingers touched it.
When he put her into the tent, he looked at Qu Qiuyan lying on the bed. She was covered with a thin quilt, and her face was indeed pale, but there was a little sweat on her forehead. His eyes fell on her shoulders. Qingju had been blocking her view just now, so people outside could not see clearly, but now, when he looked carefully, he could see that there was a slightly arched area on her shoulder.
She already understood Qu Zhizhen's plan, and the corners of her lips curled up silently. Qu Qiuyan was indeed a very competitive person, and she could handle it like this.
I still underestimated Qu Qiuyan.
"That... is not certain. It depends on Miss Qu's ability to recover... If she continues to be unconscious, her life may be in danger. It is best to find a way to wake her up quickly." The imperial physician said vaguely.
Of course, the most dangerous thing is that she can't wake up. If she can wake up quickly, it won't be a big problem.
Liu Jingyu's face turned ugly. She didn't expect that what happened to Qu Qiuyan was true. Looking at Qu Qiuyan who was vaguely visible in the gauze curtain, although she wanted to go up and check it herself, it was not convenient with her identity.
"Please ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine!" Qu Moying said softly.
The imperial physician nodded. Since he was here, he had to prescribe some medicine. Then he followed the maid to the side room.
"Fourth Miss Qu, I am here to apologize to you. When I was at Duke Qi's Mansion, I did not stop Third Miss Qu's actions in time. In the end, I was inexplicably harmed." Liu Jingyu looked at Qu Moying, and the expression on her face actually returned to normal, making people feel that what she said was sincere. "If my words have offended Fourth Miss Qu before, please forgive me!"
After saying this, he bowed sideways to Qu Moying.
This statement was flawless and it also connected the dots, making it sound as if it was indeed the case.
Even Qu Moying had to admire that Liu Jingyu was indeed not simple. Her words sounded like an apology, but they also expressed her grievances and helplessness, and made her appear magnanimous. Of course, the person she was apology to was not Qu Qiuyan, as everyone knew that Qu Qiuyan was not innocent, she just hadn't woken up yet, which prevented others from blaming her.
Liu Jingyu is not easy to deal with!
She was able to immediately put away all her emotions, revealing a guilty and embarrassed expression, and sincerely apologized to Qu Moying, as if it was really just an accidental mistake.
Qu Qiuyan lying on the bed was so angry that she almost bit her lips.
The small hand warmer filled with hot water placed on her arm burned her whole body, but she had to endure the pain. That part must have been burned.
But why was it Qu Moying who benefited in the end, not himself
"Since it is a misunderstanding, I naturally won't blame the county lord." Qu Moying smiled slightly, turned away, and said lightly.
This so-called blame was too frivolous. The relationship between her and Liu Jingyu could not be explained by blame. After Liu Jingyu maliciously tried to harm her reputation and even ruined her for a reason she did not understand, the relationship between the two was no longer a simple apology and acceptance.
"Thank you for your generosity, Miss Qu Si." Liu Jingyu said with a smile, "I also brought a gift as an apology. I hope Miss Qu Si will accept it later."
"You are too polite, my Lord!" Qu Moying raised the corners of his lips slightly, but did not walk out directly. "My Lord, would you like to sit down and take another look at my third sister?"
Qu Qiuyan's face on the bed became grim. She could hardly bear the pain any longer. She had installed it when she knew Qu Moying brought Liu Jingyu here, and now the time limit was almost up.
"No need. Please take me out, Miss Qu Si!" Liu Jingyu looked at Qu Qiuyan's gauze curtain. The long nails under her sleeves pierced into her palms. She was startled by the pain, but the smile on her face became more sincere.
Liu Jingyu was filled with hatred. Although she had used her father's words to explain and apologize, she had to swallow this loss. This matter was not over yet. There was still the reaction of the crown prince and the queen...
Compared to what her father said, she would rather do what her mother said. There was no need for her to do things concerning the Qu Mansion herself!
After looking at the maid beside him and hinting to her, Liu Jingyu turned around and walked out first, with Qu Moying and Yu Dong following behind.
