The higher you stand, the farther you can see, but the more wind and rain you experience, because there is no place to shelter you!
"It's good enough now. Everyone knows that you are behind me. That's enough!" Qu Moying shook his sleeves and said disapprovingly.
"Maybe it will be faster for me to investigate?" Pei Yuanjun said.
"Don't worry, I'll check it. It may be slower, but the result will be better." Qu Moying shook his head decisively again and refused.
"Okay!" Pei Yuanjun didn't ask any more questions this time. He reached out and hugged Qu Moying into his arms, gently touching the top of her hair. His eyes under his long eyelashes were a little cold as he asked, "Why did you let her do it!"
"I knew you were coming. Once grandma said so, you would definitely come." Qu Moying buried her head in Pei Yuanjun's arms with a little pride, and said trustingly, "What happened before was a bit excessive after all, but now that Ji Youran has her own affairs, she dare not interfere too much in her mother's family affairs."
As for the current Ling'an Marquis' Mansion, as long as Ji Youran stays out of it, the Xiao family will be able to take care of themselves, and it will be easier to investigate.
Of course, she also needs to talk to someone else about this, and she believes that this person will be more interested in her proposal.
"Even so, there's no need to put yourself in a difficult position." Pei Yuanjun said coldly. Although his expression looked gentle, his eyes were cold and gloomy, revealing a murderous aura.
Goodness, that's impossible!
"I know, I won't do it again!" Qu Moying smiled and reached out to pull his collar. "Is it not causing you any trouble?"
"No, maybe it has some other uses!" Pei Yuanjun narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
"Useful? That's great!" Qu Moying smiled. Her beautiful eyes became even more gentle and charming because of this smile. She was smiling and it was obvious that she was full of joy.
Pei Yuanjun looked down at her, patted her head helplessly, and said with a smile, "Lie here for a while. When I leave the palace, I will take you out with me."
"Is it not possible now? Grandma at home will be worried." Qu Moying raised his head.
"Qu Mansion... I have already sent someone to inform them. It is still too early to leave the palace now. The emperor originally had something to ask me, and now he must have something more." Pei Yuanjun looked at her and said with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Then go ahead. I'll lie here for a while and wait for you to come back." Qu Moying pushed Pei Yuanjun and yawned a little.
Looks a bit lazy, but also relaxed.
"I will leave for a while, you rest here." Pei Yuanjun reminded.
"Okay, you go first, I'm really sleepy!" Qu Moying waved his hand, leaned back, and closed his eyes again.
Pei Yuanjun touched her head again, turned around and strode away.
The room became quiet. Qu Moying had just fallen asleep, but now he couldn't fall asleep. He closed his eyes and rested, thinking about the causes and consequences of today's events...
At this point, she needs to be more patient...
"Miss, Concubine He is here, please come over!" Yu Dong's voice came from the door, waking Qu Moying from her thoughts.
Concubine He? Qu Moying was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up. She had slept with her clothes on before, but now she had tidied herself up a little and was ready to meet people.
After opening the door, she saw Yu Dong waiting outside. When she saw Qu Moying opened the door, she hurried in and said in a low voice, "Miss, Concubine He is here. She said she wants to find some medicinal herbs here. When she heard that you are here, she asked you to come over and talk. She is in the main hall at this time."
"Let's go!" Qu Moying nodded and walked out.
What was Concubine He's intention in coming here at this time? She didn't think that it would be such a coincidence that this noble and favored concubine in the harem could not sit still just because something happened in the Empress's Pepper Palace just now
Seeing her leave, Yu Dong hurriedly followed her, leading the way, and finally arrived at the hall. He saw several palace servants guarding the hall.
Someone saw her coming and went in to report to Concubine He. When Qu Moying came forward, a palace maid came out with a smile and said, "Fourth Miss Qu, our queen heard that you were unwell and fainted, so she came to ask about you. She has been waiting in there for a long time!"
There was a certain intimacy in these words, and the smile on the maid's face was extremely sincere, making her look very kind.
"Thank you!" Qu Moying said in a low voice, not daring to show any disrespect because of these words.
The palace maid led the way with a smile, and Qu Moying followed Yu Dong in.
Concubine He was sitting high up in the hall. Qu Moying walked up to her and bowed respectfully.
"Please sit down first!" Concubine He said with a smile, pointing to a chair on the side.
After thanking him, Qu Moying sat down aside.
"I heard that you fainted in front of the Queen's Palace. How are you now?" After looking her up and down, Concubine He asked with concern, "Did something happen?"
"I was a little weak, but I'm fine now!" Qu Moying answered in a proper manner. She didn't want to become a sharp knife in Concubine He's hands.
Everyone in the palace knew that the Empress and Concubine He had been fighting each other for many years, and now the fight had spread from inside the palace to outside.
The more kind Concubine He was to her, the more careful she had to be. How could a favorite concubine who had been fighting with the Empress for so long be simple
She had a lot of things to do of her own. Although she had to deal with the Crown Prince, she didn't want to get involved in the fight between the Queen and Concubine He.
"Nothing can be better. Fourth Miss Qu is about to marry the King of England. Their relationship can be even closer in the future." Concubine He seemed not to hear the evasion in Qu Moying's words. She smiled and waved her hand. A palace maid standing behind her came over with an exquisite tray in her hand.
The items on the tray were covered with a small red satin cover.
A small tray was brought to Qu Moying, and the red satin veil was lifted. Looking at the objects inside, Qu Moying raised his head in surprise.
"This is a blood ginseng, which is what I came here to look for. Now considering Miss Qu Si's health, I will give this blood ginseng to Miss Qu Si to help her recuperate!"
Blood ginseng is different from ordinary ginseng. It is more beneficial for women to replenish blood and replenish qi. However, blood ginseng is not native to the Central Plains. Even in its place of production, it is very rare, and even fewer are sent as tribute.
If blood ginseng was sent to the palace, the emperor would directly distribute it to various palaces. It was impossible for him to leave the blood ginseng in the Imperial Hospital.
The people in the Imperial Medical Bureau will not be able to hold on at all, and trouble will arise. How can the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau have the right to stop the concubines
Moreover, the blood ginseng in front of us is not an ordinary blood ginseng. Its size and shape indicate that such blood ginseng is very rare.
This is not from the Imperial Medical Bureau, this is Concubine He's own.
Qu Moying stood up and said hurriedly: "I dare not!"
"Why should I be afraid? It's just a thing. When it can be used, it's a good thing. When it can't be used, it's just an ordinary thing." Concubine He smiled and said, "Miss Qu Si is not feeling well. It must be a physical problem. When Miss Qu Si marries into the Prince of Ying's palace in the future, she must have a bad body. If Miss Qu Si doesn't accept it, does it mean that she despises my gift
"
This means that she must be accepted, otherwise it would be considered as looking down upon her as the Imperial Concubine.
She can be on par with the Empress. Even though her status is slightly inferior to hers, they have always been on equal footing. This shows how powerful this Imperial Concubine is.
This smile looks more like it hides a knife. Such a person can be warm and affectionate with you one moment, but can stab you and kill you the next moment.
"Your Majesty, I dare not! Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Qu Moying raised her watery eyes slightly. She already had a plan in mind and bowed respectfully to Concubine He again.
Yudong stepped forward, took the small plate handed over by the palace maid, and stepped behind her.
"Miss Qu Si is not feeling well and needs to rest. I will not disturb her." Concubine He smiled and stood up. "I was just passing by and was thinking of finding some suitable medicinal herbs. I didn't expect to meet Miss Qu Si. When Miss Qu Si enters the palace in the future, you can come and see me."
"Yes!" Qu Moying responded.
Looking at Qu Moying's respectful attitude and then at the weather outside, Concubine He stood up and walked out. It looked like it was going to rain.
Qu Moying respectfully escorted Concubine He to the door, watched her leave, then turned around and returned to the room where she had rested before.
It was obvious that this Concubine He came for herself, but it was unknown whether she just wanted to compete with the Queen or had other intentions...
"Miss, please drink some water!" Yudong poured her another glass of water at just the right temperature.
Qu Moying took it, drank two sips, then looked out the window thoughtfully. It was raining outside the window at this time, and the rain made the weather seem a little cooler.
Fortunately, we have entered the house, otherwise it would have been much colder.
Concubine He really put a lot of effort into coming out to see me at this time...
In the imperial study, the emperor's face was gloomy. When he saw Pei Yuanjun and Pei Luoan coming in, his face was still not very good. He snorted coldly before he spoke. Pei Luoan paused, and he, who had originally come in side by side with Pei Yuanjun, immediately fell behind by two steps.
The two people met at the intersection in front of the Imperial Study just now. They were both summoned by the Emperor, so they came here together.
Two people stepped forward and saluted.
"Prince, please tell me what is going on. Why can the mother of a concubine bully the Princess of England?" The Emperor was displeased and directly held Pei Luoan accountable.
Pei Luoan secretly hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He didn't dare to shirk responsibility at this moment, so he could only bow his head and say, "Don't worry, Father. The Queen Mother has already punished this matter, and Uncle Wang also thinks it's okay."
She is just the fourth lady of the Qu family. How can she be the Princess of England? She hasn’t even married into the family yet, so how can she be called the principal wife
The emperor was becoming more and more partial to Pei Yuanjun. Pei Luoan felt upset and felt that he needed to be careful in dealing with him! The emperor's heart had become biased.
He is his father's biological son and the heir to the throne, but his father seems to have always forgotten this.
"I just don't understand what you and the Queen were thinking at the time. Since you had already married a daughter of the Ji family, how could you let another daughter of the Ji family enter the Eastern Palace? Just because of a few half-truths from the Crown Princess? The Crown Princess was already in a bad condition at the time, and she might not be very clear-headed. How could you listen to her and bring a woman like this into the palace?"
The emperor slapped the table angrily.
"Father... your son... your son cannot refuse. Crown Princess... the only thing your son asked of you at that time was this..." Speaking of Ji Hanyue, Pei Luoan cried so hard that he knelt down while crying and fell to the ground, feeling extremely sad.
