"What would happen if, one day, you married the fourth lady of the Qu family, and you liked her very much, but someone wanted to harm her and you couldn't protect her for a while?" The emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, and asked.
His eyes seemed to be on the spirit tablet in the middle, but in fact his attention was all on Pei Yuanjun.
"If so, I will definitely avenge her!" Pei Yuanjun chuckled, his eyes dim.
"What if... the person who harmed her is closely related to you?" the emperor asked again.
"So what? If I really love her, I will definitely help her get revenge. I won't let her die in the underworld, nor will I let her cry out in pain in the underworld." Pei Yuanjun said calmly.
Li Quan shrank back.
"What if...if we have a child and have no choice...cannot keep him by our side?" The emperor's voice trembled.
"Since we have no choice, we can just find the child afterwards. If the biological mother is not around, the child will not be loved by the biological father and will probably not be happy."
Pei Yuanjun's answer was as calm and indifferent as ever.
What he said was just about someone else's business, which had nothing to do with him, so why was there so much emotional fluctuation
"What if...what if that child resents his biological father because of his biological mother?" The emperor asked again, turning his head to look at Pei Yuanjun, his eyes dark red and his expression excited.
Pei Yuanjun thought for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think I would do such a thing, and I will never allow such a thing to happen."
"What if it happens? What if it happens?" the emperor continued to ask.
“If it happens… If it happens, then if I were this child…” Pei Yuanjun was silent again, as if he was thinking about what to say. His face was very calm, and it was obvious that he didn’t involve himself in it. After all, this was someone else’s business, wasn’t it
"Yes, yes, if you were that child, would you feel resentful?" the emperor asked anxiously, ignoring the pain that the indifference on Pei Yuanjun's face caused him at that moment.
"If I were that child, I would... really not know." Pei Yuanjun shook his head.
"Why don't you know?" The answer the emperor was waiting for was not the one he knew. His legs went weak and Li Quan rushed forward to support him, helping him sit down on a chair.
"This matter may be resentful or understandable, but look at what the biological father did! If the biological father did a good job, he would also take it to heart. Even if there were some indebtedness in the past, it should be understandable. But if the biological father just evades and does nothing, just throwing a fatherless and motherless child aside, who would not resent it?"
Pei Yuanjun calmly analyzed for the emperor.
The emperor lowered his head, drooping weakly, and after a long while he slowly said, "I understand, you can go back first!"
"Your Majesty, what about the marriage of the fourth lady of the Naqu family?" Pei Yuanjun stood up and asked.
"You agreed to the marriage, but now you are telling me you want to cancel it. I will never forgive you if you say such things again." The emperor suddenly became furious and rebuked! "Don't get out!"
"I'll take my leave!" Pei Yuanjun said lazily, looking indifferent. He bowed to the emperor again, turned around and strode away.
"Look... look at him... he's so old, but still doesn't understand. This marriage can be canceled if he wants to." The emperor pointed at Pei Yuanjun and cursed angrily.
"Your Majesty, the King of England must be angry too." Li Quan advised in a low voice
He said, glancing at the spirit tablet in the middle. This was all he could say now.
"Even if you are angry, you can't act so recklessly. This marriage... took so long to agree to, and it's a very lucky person." The emperor said angrily, with nowhere to vent his anger, and inexplicably threw himself on Pei Yuanjun, with a bit of anger in his heart.
Although the emperor's reaction was strange, Li Quan knew what he was doing, so he could only persuade him again: "If the king can get married, he will really grow up, and he will no longer make the emperor worry like this. He will definitely understand you then."
The emperor was silent, raised his head and looked at the spirit tablet in the middle, and after a long while he said, "Yes, I am wrong. A child without a father or mother... a child without a father or mother... is easy to be bullied!"
The words were spoken in a low voice, as if with a hint of crying.
"Your Majesty... you have done very well!" Li Quan comforted him.
"No... I haven't done enough, I'm still too indecisive... I don't want her to be sad on the road to reincarnation..." The emperor murmured, his eyes fixed on the spirit tablet in the middle, a half-smile on his face.
He covered his chest with his hand, turned his head and started coughing violently.
Li Quan hurriedly patted his back gently to help him recover...
After a long while, the emperor finally suppressed his cough, panting and whispering: "I felt sorry for the prince before, because he lost his beloved... He is similar to me, and he lost his original wife... Now I feel even more pitiful..."
"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country, how can you be pitiful? It will definitely get better."
"So what if you are the king of a country? Now I have made you into this state. You are not a king, your minister is not a minister, your father is not a father, and your son is not a son!" The emperor said in a low voice, and his head fell down weakly.
"No, I will recognize you in the future... and I will think you did a good job..." Li Quan's voice also choked up...
Qu Moying waited in the Imperial Hospital for a short time before Pei Yuanjun came to take her away.
Pei Yuanjun sent Qu Moying all the way to the carriage outside the palace gate, and then watched the Qu Mansion's carriage move forward all the way back to the Qu Mansion.
"Someone come here!" Pei Yuanjun didn't rush to get in the car. He curled the corners of his thin lips and gave the order.
"Your Highness!" A guard stepped forward upon seeing the situation.
"Go to Qingyun Temple and give that troublesome old woman thirty lashes. The princess I hired is not someone that an old woman could plot against!" Pei Yuanjun said with a smile, but his smile was cold.
"Yes!" The guard responded, took a horse, and left with a whip.
The guards at the palace gate watched their faces closely, not daring to move, for fear that the prince would suddenly cause trouble for them.
That old woman is dead.
Even if it was the same thirty lashes, others would be fine if they fought, but would the guards of the British palace be fine
But this matter has nothing to do with them. It was just a subconscious decision that when seeing the fourth young lady of the Qu family in the future, they should be more respectful and must not offend the fourth young lady Qu. If they offend her, they will offend the King of England and they will save their lives!
The guards at the gate were all terrified.
After Pei Yuanjun left the palace, he sent people to deal with the old woman who framed Qu Moying, and the news also spread to the palace.
Many masters in the palace felt that they would have to look up to Miss Qu Si in the future. It seemed that the King of England was still concerned about this princess who could ward off evil. But then again, even if he looked down on others, at least he was interested in this princess’ fate!
To ward off evil and calamity, this Fourth Miss Qu is here to bring good luck. This marriage was quite controversial before, but now it is no longer controversial!
What kind of controversy can there be? As long as His Majesty the King of England takes it very seriously, that’s enough!
But another piece of news that came later made the women in the palace tremble with fear as well. It was said that Madam Xiao from the Ling Anbo Mansion had become mentally ill due to fright.
He actually jumped off the backyard wall of Qingyun Temple. Fortunately, the people in Qingyun Temple found him, otherwise he would have died there and no one would have known about it.
I heard that when Mrs. Xiao was found, she kept shouting that she wanted to run and run quickly, with blood all over her face and hands.
But this was not her blood, it was the blood of the old woman who had been tortured.
The old woman used the torture in front of her and died before she could endure ten beatings. When she died, her head was squeezed together with Xiao's head, and blood spurted all over Xiao's body.
Xiao was holding her head down while watching the execution. The old woman was beaten to a cripple and then to death right in front of her eyes.
Afterwards, the guards went back and Xiao ran out in panic, covered in blood. Then, somehow she climbed up the wall behind her and fell down.
The whole person is not mentally normal.
When the news came out, everyone who knew about it was shocked. This method might be considered cruel to others, but since it was done by the King of England, everyone could accept it.
I just felt a chill in my heart and kept reminding myself that I must not offend the future British princess. Does the King of England intend to protect her
The following news was that Ji Youran was demoted to a concubine. This concubine of the crown prince at that time, upon entering the Eastern Palace, not only had an excellent reputation, but also had the momentum to become the principal wife. Unexpectedly, after such a short period of time, this concubine Ji not only fell from status, but also seemed to be out of favor.
The censors who had wanted to take advantage of their courage to report Pei Yuanjun were all defeated. This showed that the palace also agreed with this matter. They were censors, and they had to say some tough words, but they knew nothing and just rushed forward. They were just straightforward, but not stupid.
This matter seems to be suspicious, so what happened
Many people went to Qingyun Temple to inquire about the truth of the matter and how it could have turned out like this. There were quite a few pilgrims there that day, and that's how the rumor spread.
I heard that the Xiao family harmed Fourth Miss Qu because of Third Miss Ji's incident.
It was heard that Miss Ji was murdered, and Miss Qu wanted to re-investigate the matter. Xiao panicked and framed Miss Qu.
I heard that Miss Ji San had an accident that day, and no one in Ling Anbo's Mansion investigated the matter. Now we don't know whether she is alive or dead. The legitimate daughter of a great general, now no one knows whether she is alive or dead.
I heard that the Ministry of Justice was also unable to investigate the case, and the case was left unresolved. Was it because the Ministry of Justice did not dare to investigate, or for some other reason
If they really don't allow anyone to investigate, then it shows that there is something wrong with this matter. Could it be that the Xiao family really killed Miss Ji
When I think about it this way, it really seems possible. Xiao was in charge of the backyard of the Ling Anbo Mansion, and Miss Ji was just a young girl at the time. If Xiao really had evil intentions, Miss Ji, a little girl, would really not be able to escape.
If Xiao is such a person, then is there something wrong with Ling Anbo's death? Going further, Concubine Ji...
Okay, okay, let’s not talk about the matter of Miss Ji San…
The more people knew about it, the more rumors spread, and different versions of the story circulated among the people. The more people talked about it, the more they felt that Xiao had brought it upon herself, and the more they felt sorry for Miss Ji San.
When everyone was sympathizing with Ji Yanyue, Qu Moying secretly went to meet someone...
