"The Queen heard that Madam Liu was injured, so she told her to stay at home and not go anywhere." The eunuch laughed and waved his hand. The eunuchs behind him stepped forward and placed a gift box in front of Madam Liu. "Madam Liu, this is a gift from the Queen."
After saying that, he took a step forward and opened the gift box, revealing a jade ruler inside.
The ruler hit Mrs. Liu directly in the face.
Madam Liu's face changed drastically, and she dug her fingers into the quilt fiercely. There was anger in her eyes, but she had to suppress it, "Thank the Queen for me."
"Madam Liu, you are too polite. We will return to the palace now." The eunuch said with a smile, bowed to Liu Jingyu, turned around and walked away.
He didn't say a single word, nor did he try to get close to Liu Jingyu.
Liu Jingyu's face also looked ugly. In the past, the people sent by the Queen Mother always talked to him warmly, and then he would greet the Queen Mother and show respect to her. Since when did the Queen Mother's people treat him like this
"This is too much!" Seeing the door curtain fall down and the person left, Mrs. Liu could no longer control herself. She picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground.
Liu Jingyu lowered his head, glanced at the ground indifferently, and said nothing.
"You actually... actually sent me a ruler. I don't know whose lies you listened to." Madam Liu said hatefully, with a look of hatred in her eyes. If she knew who stabbed her in the back, she would never let her off.
She was a lady with an imperial title, but she was given a ruler by the Empress, which was meant as a punishment. How could she face other noble ladies in the future
"Mother, what do you want to do?" Liu Jingyu raised her eyes slightly and said bitterly, "Now you can't go out, and there is no news. Father won't let you go out, and the Queen's intention is the same. The two personal maids around you can't get up. Now even if someone wants to deal with us, we know nothing."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth.
"Does mother still think so now? If nothing goes wrong, what does the Queen mean? What do the people around the Queen mean? The sad thing is, we don't even know who wants to deal with us." Liu Jingyu's eyes turned red. "Maybe in the end, not only will I not be able to marry the prince, but... something will happen to us as well."
"What nonsense! Your marriage with the prince has been decided and it can't be changed." Madam Liu scolded, thinking that Liu Jingyu was really a loser for saying such things at this time.
"Mother, what is destined? When the Crown Prince and Ji Hanyue were together, didn't they also make people feel that it was destined? But what happened in the end?" Liu Jingyu curled the corners of his lips and sighed softly, "I am afraid that I will end up like Ji Hanyue in the future, knowing nothing, not knowing anything, and dying in a daze."
Madam Liu's hands trembled and her face turned cold after hearing these words.
"Mother, you don't have to worry. If you can't go out, just take care of yourself now." Liu Jingyu raised his head and smiled bitterly to comfort Madam Liu, "Even if something happens, at least we have to get through this New Year!"
These words sounded like soothing, but they pierced Mrs. Liu's heart. She had never worried about this and always felt that everything was under her control.
No matter what the plot is, there will be people plotting in secret. She can't do it herself, and she doesn't need to show up. She just needs to secretly coordinate.
Just degree.
She has been living a smooth life for so many years.
But now after being reminded by Liu Jingyu, he felt a chill on his back. He was no longer the same person he was before.
It was hateful that the Duke of Qi's Mansion was so disrespectful to him. Why didn't they stand by him and help him deal with Liu Borui? The Duke of Qi's Mansion originally belonged to him, to his father. His mother was of royal blood, and his status was originally very high, which was a few points higher than his current status.
When they got the position of father, they should have protected me and given me an identity. But now they want to distance themselves from me and no longer be my support. Why
Everything in the Duke of Qi's Mansion originally belonged to him. Why should his second uncle and his family occupy it and not want to take care of him
This is all what my second uncle's family owes me, and it is what they should pay. Now they are asked to give up a daughter, and they have to make their own plans. If I hadn't acted quickly at the beginning, Xiao Yue might have been recognized by now, and my identity might have been exposed.
Thinking of the hateful thing, Madam Liu clenched her teeth and was filled with resentment.
"Mother, don't think too much and have a good rest!" Seeing her gritting her teeth and being angry, Liu Jingyu felt very annoyed. He stood up and said softly, and was about to leave sadly.
"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Liu suddenly said.
"Mother, do you need anything? I'll bring it to you later." Liu Jingyu stopped and said.
Madam Liu cannot go out now, and no one else can come in. The most they can do is deliver things to the door. The only person who can go in and out is Liu Jingyu, and even the maids around Liu Jingyu are not allowed to enter.
"Come here." Madam Liu whispered, then waved her hand cautiously. The two maids who were originally serving here retreated and closed the door for the mother and daughter.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Liu Jingyu tried hard to suppress the ecstasy in her heart, but a trace of worry appeared on her face. "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Your daughter will try to talk to your father and ask him to invite a doctor in, okay?"
"Go to the drawer on the far right under the dressing table and take out a red jewelry box." Mrs. Liu shook her head and whispered.
Seeing how cautious she was, Liu Jingyu didn't dare to say anything more. He walked over and opened the bottom drawer on the far right. Sure enough, he saw a small red jewelry box. There were actually several such jewelry boxes on the dressing table. They were a set that Madam Liu had someone make before, and they came in all sizes.
But there is only one in this drawer, and Liu Jingyu will not make a mistake.
After taking the jewelry box over, Liu Jingyu saw a lock on it. He glanced at it with an unclear expression, then turned around and handed the jewelry box to Madam Liu.
Mrs. Liu took a key from her neck and turned it towards the keyhole a few times. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary way to open the door.
Finally the lock was opened. Mrs. Liu picked out a few pieces of paper from inside. After looking at them carefully, she closed the box again and handed the box back to Liu Jingyu.
Liu Jingyu turned around, rearranged it, and then sat back down beside the bed.
"You can use these people. Ask them to find out things or run errands." Madam Liu handed the paper to Liu Jingyu, and her voice became lower and lower. "You can't let your father know. He wishes I were dead and would give way to his mistress."
"Mother... what... what is this?" Liu Jingyu took the paper and looked at it.
The ones listed above are people's names. I remember their specific jobs, identities and addresses very clearly. My fingers twitched.
"These are the people I have arranged over the years. You can use them to investigate matters and gather information. They are all very reliable."
"Mother... Mother, are there people from the palace?" Liu Jingyu stuttered, looking a little panicked.
"Yes, but not much. You are outside and know nothing about the news in the palace. If something really happens, you will not be able to react. But just let them find out some information they can, and don't let them do anything else." Madam Liu warned.
"I... I understand." Liu Jingyu bit her lip, tightly grasped the paper in her hand, and nodded.
Finally... got it!
She had long known that her mother was not that simple and must have a group of other people under her control. She also wanted these people, but her mother had never revealed her secrets to her for so many years.
It seems that now the mother has no one else to rely on and can only trust herself.
With these people, there are so many things she can do, such as consolidating her favor and eliminating her enemies. She doesn't believe that these people are only there to gather information
He had repeatedly shown weakness to Qu Moying before. On the one hand, of course, it was to maintain and resolve the "misunderstanding" with Qu Moying and confuse Qu Moying; on the other hand, it was also to get the help and manpower from his mother.
Now that I have finally got the thing, it is worth it that I have been showing weakness and not taking any action all this time, just being a docile and useless Jingyu County Lord.
"Go now. Bring more good medicine next time you come. The two maids are seriously injured. You can make good use of the manpower you have. It would be best if they can get better quickly. Otherwise, some of them may not be so easy to use. You have to let them go and say hello first." Madam Liu reminded again, deliberately pointing to the pictures at the back.
This indicates that these staff are temporarily unavailable.
"Mother, I understand. Next time I come, I will bring good medicine so that the two maids can get better soon, and I will also let mother get better soon. Mother, don't worry, I will always inquire about the Queen's affairs, and I will always find a way to deal with it." Liu Jingyu comforted Madam Liu.
Madam Liu had no way to go out now. She could only rely on her daughter. She nodded and said, "Go find out what's wrong with the Queen today and why she came here to scold me!"
The mother and daughter were talking together, and there were no outsiders present. Madam Liu did not hide her dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother, and her words did not show any respect for the Queen Mother.
"Mother, don't worry. I will send someone to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later." Liu Jingyu said softly. The people in the palace could not be contacted for the time being, so now she had to go out on her own to get information from the Eastern Palace.
After comforting Madam Liu a few more words, Liu Jingyu left the main house and stood outside the courtyard gate. He looked back at the courtyard behind him and a sneer appeared on Liu Jingyu's face. His mother was in a good mood like this. But now his mother not only can't help him at all, but also holds him back.
The best way is to lie down forever.
She still has many people in her hands and a lot of paper in the box, but all of these will fall into her hands one day...
She could still compromise with her father...
Qu Moying will one day die a dirty death in his own hands...
