At this time, there was another person who was also hesitant.
It’s just that the identities and status of the two people are very different, but this worrying matter has something to do with this old woman!
The emperor placed his hand on the brocade box in front of him. The box was already opened, revealing a bloody sachet.
Inside the sachet are two small bunches of hair, tied up separately with a red thread, and then tied together with another red thread.
After seeing everything clearly inside, the emperor fell back in pain. If it weren't for Li Quan's quick reaction, the emperor would have fainted.
After sitting down, he put the sachet into the brocade box and pressed his trembling palm on the open brocade box.
Married as husband and wife, they love each other without a doubt!
But the vows made in the past have long since disappeared in the wind, leaving only this hair from the past, representing that everything in the past was actually true.
"Liquan, tell me... tell me, am I wrong?" The emperor closed his eyes and said weakly.
"I think... the emperor had no choice at that time." Li Quan answered cautiously.
"Will she blame me?" The emperor was in great pain. He didn't dare to open his eyes and look at the brocade box in front of him. He originally thought that the sachet had been gone for a long time, but he didn't expect it to suddenly appear in front of him. She had actually kept it all along, but she had never told him about it.
"If Her Majesty knew the Emperor's situation, she would certainly not blame him." Li Quan answered in a low voice, sweat breaking out on his vest. How could a servant like him be asked such questions about who was right and who was wrong
He is just a servant, how dare he say that his master is wrong!
Such words are simply fatal!
"Will she... feel strange now?" the emperor continued to ask. His hesitation in the past seemed to become clear and persistent at this moment.
"If Her Majesty knew what the Emperor is doing now, she would definitely... not blame the Emperor." Li Quan answered again with sweat all over his forehead.
"What's happening now? Does that mean she will blame me for what happened in the past?" The emperor's face showed a bit of painful struggle. Although he was actually planning, he had been hesitant, and this matter was almost a dead end now.
He originally just wanted the child to live a safe life. As long as he was fine and alive, everything else was in vain.
Therefore, when he appointed the crown prince, he only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
But he didn't really think this prince was good after all. Later, he thought King Jing was not bad. Now... Now, he found that what he thought and what he wanted were not consistent.
Safety, can we really live safely
The emperor felt a tingling sensation in his throat and began to cough violently. He put down the handkerchief that was covering his face with his hands. A faint red color flashed in the corners of Li Quan's eyes and his face immediately turned pale.
The voice trembled as he said, "Your Majesty, please take a rest first. This matter... is not urgent. Your health is more important!"
He also didn't expect that the brocade box left by Empress Yuan actually contained a sachet, and the contents of the sachet were even more deadly. How could it be the "knot" from when the Emperor and Empress Yuan got married
The emperor tightly grasped the handkerchief in his hand, coughed twice, and then said in a low voice: "I'm fine, I just feel... I will never let this child be calculated by them. Since they are unwilling to keep him and are unwilling to treat him well..."
Behind the Emperor
A few words became vague, but no matter how vague they were, Li Quan knew the earth-shaking meaning contained in these words.
This day, things are really going to change!
"Your Majesty... is wise!" He only added this sentence in a low, trembling voice.
He knew clearly that even though the emperor had been planning but was still hesitant in his heart, now his plan was finally confirmed.
This brocade box was taken out from under the bed in Empress Yuan's palace, but the key was in the swaddling clothes of King Ying. The meaning behind it is enough to give the Emperor greater determination and remind him of his guilt towards Empress Yuan. If he hadn't thought too much at the beginning, Empress Yuan would not have died in the cold palace.
There are many things involved. When the emperor was dealing with various forces, he used an ambiguous attitude to cover up the matter. But now, because of this small sachet, he can foresee the bloody storm in the future, and the reason for all this has just been slightly touched...
Thinking of the causes and consequences of this incident, Li Quan felt a chill in his heart. First of all, the identity of the King of England was a big problem. How could such a big problem be solved and made known to the world? The next moment, the emperor's words made Li Quan shudder again.
"Promote Qu Zhizhen to the position of Minister of Works! His daughter's status is too low for the King of England!"
In the next few days, Qu Moying was not too busy. There were not many guests in the Qu Mansion, and she was still waiting to be married. If there were guests coming, Qu Moying would just come out to meet them and accompany them for a while. During this period, Qu Moying did not visit other families.
No matter who invited her, the lady always refused on the grounds that she was busy getting married.
Qi Xiangyu came early, and her arrival gave Qu Moying more reasons not to go out.
Qi Xiangyu's needlework is really good. Qu Moying feels that even if his hands are very good, he can't compare with hers. Moreover, Qi Xiangyu has some new insights into needlework.
The new table screen, a picture of clams delivering a child, was being embroidered. Qi Xiangyu was very interested in it and even helped Qu Moying correct some small details and added her own insights.
Qu Moying liked them very much, and Qi Xiangyu was also very pleased. She helped Qu Moying embroider one of the pairs herself, and gave the others to the people around her.
She said she wanted to give Qu Moying a desk screen as a gift.
Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Qu Moying could not object and could only express his gratitude again and again. Time was urgent and Qi Xiangyu was so attentive, so these four pictures were constantly being taken in and out.
"I heard that my cousin came to our house again today!" Qi Xiangyu said while embroidering the pattern skillfully.
If it were in the past, she would definitely stay to accompany Liu Jingyu at this time, even if Liu Jingyu had always been indifferent to her. But today, her aunt directly told her to continue to go to Qu Mansion, and it was obvious that she didn't want her to stay.
Qi Xiangyu was a little puzzled by the recent attitude of the mansion. She felt that the mansion had suddenly lost its enthusiasm for her aunt's family, as if they wanted to sever the ties.
She also knew something about what happened to her great aunt before, and knew it had something to do with her aunt, but in the end nothing happened to her great aunt, it was her aunt who got into trouble, wasn't it
"Why didn't you stay to keep the guests company?" Qu Moying asked curiously. She had already taken off the scar on her hand. The scar was healing. Although she was still not very agile, she could perform basic movements.
She also picked up the embroidery thread and embroidered a simple handkerchief, and she habitually drew an embroidery picture of butterflies dancing on flowers.
"I don't know either. My aunt said it's okay and told me to just come over." The two of them are now very familiar with each other and no longer hide anything they have to say.
Qi Xiangyu is actually a very straightforward person, and she likes girls who are more straightforward.
In the past, she only thought that Qu Moying was very delicate, as if she would fall down if touched, and she didn't have a very favorable impression of her. But after spending some time with her recently, she found that you really can't judge a person by their appearance. Who would have thought that such a delicate and weak Miss Qu was actually a girl who was decisive and strong-willed.
She is definitely not the kind of delicate girl who would cry out of grievance just after saying a few words and for no reason.
Obviously, she looks most like this type. Even if she doesn't say anything, she already looks so weak.
"It would be bad if you didn't go back, right?" Qu Moying asked with a slight smile.
"What's wrong with that? Recently, people in our house haven't been very nice to my aunt's family. Maybe my aunt offended my aunt before, and my aunt is angry." Qi Xiangyu guessed.
"What about your grandmother?" Qu Moying reminded her.
"Grandma... might be sick and not in the mood to help aunt." Qi Xiangyu thought for a moment and said this was the only reason she could think of. With how much her grandmother and grandfather doted on her aunt, the current situation would never have happened. But it just so happened that neither her grandmother nor her grandfather seemed to care about her aunt anymore.
"If grandma really cared about my uncle's affairs, she would definitely ask my eldest uncle to look for him, but I heard... when my uncle came that day, my father was still with him, and my eldest uncle showed his face and left."
Qi Xiangyu continued.
The things in the mansion were too strange, and she couldn't find anyone else to talk to. When she talked about it with Qu Moying, she didn't feel any pressure, as she always felt that this matter was related to Qu Moying.
Every time I went to visit my grandmother, she would always talk about Qu Moying and ask me to get along well with Qu Moying. She also repeatedly asked about Qu Moying's injuries. As for my cousin, my grandmother never mentioned it again after that, as if all the favor for my cousin fell on Qu Moying.
Qi Xiangyu didn't understand, but she was willing to make friends with Qu Moying. She felt that making friends with Qu Moying was much better than making friends with Liu Jingyu. Outsiders only thought that Liu Jingyu was gentle and dignified, always smiling when talking to others, and very polite. Only Qi Xiangyu knew that that was Liu Jingyu's mask.
Whether when she was young or later, she had suffered a lot from Liu Jingyu.
But even if she herself didn't want to get close to Liu Jingyu, everyone in the mansion, from top to bottom, wanted her to be friends with Liu Jingyu, so she could only pretend to be a close cousin to Liu Jingyu on the surface. Now that she didn't have to "serve" Liu Jingyu anymore, Qi Xiangyu still liked him very much.
As for asking my father to receive my uncle that day, it was obvious that he did not go to my uncle to hold him accountable, otherwise, wouldn't my eldest uncle be the most capable one
How powerful is my father to question my uncle? If he really wants to support my aunt, it must be my uncle or grandfather who can do it. How powerful is my father? Qi Xiangyu felt more and more that something big had happened in her house, but she knew nothing about it.
Seeing her suspicious look, Qu Moying smiled and put down the handkerchief she was embroidering, "Can you help me find out something?"
