"What? My mother was beaten by Princess Changyu?" Ji Youran slammed the letter in her hand on the table and said sternly, "Is this related to that bitch?"
"Yes, Madam asked you to think of a solution. We can't just let this go. If you hit Madam, you'll be hitting you in the face. If you hit you in the face, how will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince maintain his dignity?" The old woman knelt in front of Ji Youran and cried, "How can you and the Crown Prince face people in the future?"
"Princess Changyu!" Ji Youran said hatefully, gritting her teeth.
The discord between her and Qu Moying actually had a long history. Something happened in her own house before, and her mother had to leave. When she got the news, the Ji family had already made a decision. Even if she intervened, it was too late.
Besides, she is now focused on preparing for pregnancy and does not want to make a big deal about this matter. She would be too embarrassed to bring it to the prince. Now it is only a matter among the Ji family and it is not a big deal. She can think of a way to call her mother back when the time comes.
I didn't expect my mother to attack Qu Moying in Qingyun Temple. Although I knew that my mother must be angry and couldn't help but attack when she heard the news about Qu Moying, I was still angry when I thought about it. Why couldn't she hold back her anger for a while? As for Princess Changyu, she was just an idle member of the royal family. Why did she hit my mother!
Now that this matter has come to me, as a daughter I cannot ignore it, otherwise I will not be able to face people in the future.
"Is Madam seriously injured?" Ji Youran asked.
"Madam's injury is not too serious, and the ten strokes of the board were not particularly severe, but Madam has lost all her face. This... She can't face anyone from now on." The old woman cried, "Madam said, he is just an idle royal family member, and he dares not give you face. Will he beat you directly one day!"
"Go back and tell your mother that I know. Just ask her to go back and wait." Ji Youran said with a dark face.
The old woman didn't dare to say anything more and went back wiping her tears.
"My queen, what should we do now?" asked the maid Shui Ning.
"Where is the prince?" Ji Youran tried hard to suppress his anger.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the palace and has not returned yet." Shui Ning reported.
"Let's go, let's go into the palace now." Ji Youran couldn't wait any longer. If this matter became public, she would lose all her face. She had to save her face and seize the initiative before this matter became public.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not like you entering the palace." Shui Ning's face turned pale and she advised in a low voice.
"I'm going to see the Queen and cry about this." Ji Youran reached out and touched her belly. She felt that the recuperation she had done in the past few days seemed to have some effect. She always felt that she might be pregnant, so she became much more careful in her actions.
Taking these two pregnancy prescriptions one after another, even if the effect is not great, it will definitely be effective.
"I don't believe that the Queen is willing to slap herself in the face. If the Crown Prince loses face, the Queen will also lose face." Ji Youran gritted her teeth. She must enter the palace this time.
After tidying up a bit, Ji Youran hurried into the palace with Shui Ning. There was actually a cheap passage between the East Palace and the Imperial Palace, and there was no need to go to the palace gate and knock on it. However, Ji Youran had never used that cheap passage. Usually, she would only go there when Pei Luoan was in a hurry.
But now, Ji Youran can no longer care about these.
He led the people to the corridor connecting the two palaces, where the eunuchs from the harem were guarding. When he heard that Ji Youran wanted to see the Queen, the eunuchs also
Not daring to be negligent, one person stayed behind while another went to report.
Ji Youran was waiting at the entrance, feeling anxious. Finally, the eunuch came back and summoned her into the palace.
Ji Youran finally put her worries to rest and followed the eunuch to the Queen's Pepper Room, crying all the way and wiping her tears with a handkerchief. When she arrived at the Pepper Room, the corners of her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered with tear marks.
Following a palace maid who led the way, Ji Youran entered the hall. As soon as she entered the door, she choked and cried uncontrollably. She entered the hall and knelt down in front of the queen who was sitting high in the middle: "Your humble servant... greets... the queen, I wish you good health and happiness..."
As he said this, he knelt on the ground and cried inconsolably.
"What happened?" The Queen asked coldly, her eyes falling on the kneeling Ji Youran. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but it was not shown on her face.
"Please, Her Majesty, help me." Ji Youran cried loudly, secretly happy that she came at the right time.
"Tell me about it!" said the Queen.
Ji Youran has already explained the whole cause and effect of the incident. Of course, in her words, the cause and effect were somewhat different. The cause was caused by a maid. The maid felt that Fourth Miss Qu was always interfering in the affairs of her family with various excuses. She was so angry that she took the silver notes that her mother gave her to buy things to harm others.
The mother-in-law was wrong in this matter, but Qu Moying could not put all the blame on her mother. What's worse, Princess Changyu, who was present at the time, wanted to please the King of England, so she attacked her mother and beat her severely. Her mother vomited blood, and everyone present saw it.
"Empress... my mother didn't discipline the servants well, and she occasionally complained about Fourth Miss Qu's affairs, but Fourth Miss Qu always likes to interfere in the affairs of my mansion, sometimes looking for her cousin, sometimes looking for her sister, making my mansion uneasy. If I let her go on like this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that it will encourage her momentum, and it will only get worse in the future."
Ji Youran burst into tears, very sad.
"She always interferes in the affairs of your house?" The Queen's expression changed slightly.
She had heard Princess Changyu's reply before, and she didn't think there was anything wrong. She didn't like Ji Youran, and of course she didn't like the Xiao family either. She felt that this was a family that didn't know their own status. Now at this time, were they still dreaming of becoming the queen
At the beginning, my son insisted on promoting Ji Youran to the position of the main wife, and the Queen Mother was very angry with my son. Fortunately, my son came to his senses later, otherwise, what would be the point of having such a Yue family that would not be of any help to my son at all!
It would be strange if the Queen could tolerate Ji Youran, who seduced her son and almost let him put her in a high position.
But this is not the issue now. The most important thing is that Qu Moying intervened in the affairs of Ling Anbo's Mansion.
"Yes, she has been interfering. I think Fourth Miss Qu has something to do with the previous title. She has been clamoring to investigate what happened in the past, and the affairs of Third Sister and Second Sister. She has repeatedly stated that she wants to find Third Sister. It is because of these reasons that she particularly looks down on me and my mother."
Ji Youran cried again.
The Queen's face darkened. If it was only Ji Youran's biological mother who was beaten, it sounded like Xiao was indeed the one who did it. If she was beaten, she was beaten. Although the biological mother of a concubine was beaten, it damaged the prince's face, but the damage was not great. The Queen had also thought about it just now.
, she can even make the prince appear selfless.
No matter who made the mistake, even the mother of the favored concubine would be punished.
Princess Changyu's words, "If a prince breaks the law, he shall be punished the same as a commoner," made the Empress very unhappy. Regardless of whether she agreed with it in her heart or not, she had to at least follow it on the surface.
If Xiao's beating can make her son show his noble character, then it would not be a bad thing.
The Queen Mother was just thinking about how to make her son benefit more. Whether it was Ji Youran or Xiao, they could be sacrificed for the sake of her son's reputation.
She is just a concubine, so what even if she is the principal wife!
After hearing what Ji Youran said, the Queen Mother's face turned unhappy. What she hated most was something happening in Ling Anbo's Mansion.
No matter who it was, she would not allow anyone to investigate further.
My son told me about the case in the Ministry of Justice that day. The people in the Ministry of Justice were smart. They talked about it highly and downplayed it. It is said that the matter is still under investigation, but since Miss Ji San is not there, they can only file a case. As for how to investigate and how the investigation goes, that is the Ministry of Justice's business.
Since no one has been found, it is understandable that there has been no progress.
"Okay, you get up first. I'll ask someone to go to Xuanqu Mansion to find the fourth young lady. You wait on the side. It's better for the two of them to confront each other face to face!" The Queen said after a moment of silence.
"Yes, thank you, Her Majesty." Ji Youran wiped her tears, stood up aggrievedly, sat down on a chair beside, and waited for Qu Moying to come over.
She knew that the Queen Mother also knew about it. Sure enough, if she said that the cause of this matter was Qu Moying's excessive attention to the affairs of his own family, the Queen Mother would certainly not ignore it.
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and then relaxed. If there was one person she hated the most now, it would be Liu Jingyu and Qu Moying.
Liu Jingyu was the wife she was bound to bring down, and Qu Moying... this person's existence always made Ji Youran feel uneasy, especially when she saw her cold eyes, Ji Youran inexplicably felt that this person was like her nemesis.
But the prince repeatedly told himself to please this bitch.
When the Queen's summons arrived at Qu Mansion, Qu Moying had already washed and combed his hair and was waiting quietly in his room. Upon hearing the Queen's summons, he took Yu Dong and went to say goodbye to the Madam Dowager first.
The lady guessed that there might be follow-up to this matter. After returning home, she asked Qu Moying to return to Qianyueju first, and she took people to find her son to discuss the matter.
Unexpectedly, before they could come to an end, the Queen Mother had already received the news and wanted to summon Qu Moying to the palace.
The lady was in a panic, but Qu Moying came in and said goodbye calmly.
"Ying girl, you go first. I will send someone to tell the King of England's palace." The lady came up with this idea in a hurry. It seemed to be the only way.
The only one who can make the Queen Queen back down is His Royal Highness the King of England. She will send someone to beg His Royal Highness the King of England soon. Even if it is because of Ying girl's good fate that can protect the King of England from disaster, the King of England should also help!
"Thank you, grandma!" Qu Moying thanked her softly, bowed, and left leisurely with the palace maid.
Mrs. Qu had no other options now, she could only pin her hopes on the King of England. As soon as Qu Moying took a step forward, the people she sent out immediately sent a letter to the King of England's palace...
