After Liu Jingyu came back from Madam Liu, someone else asked to see him.
It was someone sent by the Eastern Palace, and Liu Jingyu hurriedly asked someone to invite him in.
It was a housekeeper from the Eastern Palace. She brought an account book over, bowed to Liu Jingyu, and then handed the account book to Liu Jingyu.
"My Lady, these are the items that were damaged during the inspection by the Eastern Palace just now. Please take a look." said the old woman.
A maid took the booklet and handed it to Liu Jingyu. Looking at the damaged items on it, Liu Jingyu's eyes were almost spitting fire. That was the dowry she had prepared with great difficulty, and several items were carefully prepared by her. Now they were all destroyed. How could she bear this
He tightly grasped the booklet in his hand, trying to calm his anger, but no matter how hard he tried, the anger still rose up.
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" Liu Jingyu asked after finally suppressing his emotion.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to sort out the dowry list yourself. As for how to deal with these damaged ones, it's up to you to tell us." The old woman conveyed Pei Luoan's words.
This means that if it is bad, it is bad, and Liu Jingyu can just cross it off the dowry list. Pei Luoan did not make any comment on this.
Liu Jingyu was so angry that she tightly grasped the book in her hand, fearing that she would explode if she could not bear it any longer. What did the prince mean by this? Did he mean that the things destroyed this time were just forgotten
"There's no rush... I may have been a little busy recently, so it may take some time before I have time." After all, Liu Jingyu knew his identity, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger.
"The prince said there is no rush. You can come anytime you are free." The old woman bowed to Liu Jingyu and said goodbye.
Judging from how hurried she is, she must be busy with many things.
"Miss, are we just going to let these things go?" After the old women from the East Palace left, the maid said indignantly. These things were of great value and were the dowry carefully prepared by their young lady.
Liu Jingyu's gaze fell on the booklet again. He scanned the books one by one, and finally stopped on a name. His heart ached.
Picture of the fertility-delivering river clam!
It turned out to be the picture of fertility-delivering river clams that she had specially prepared for Qu Moying.
"The picture of the fertility-giving river clam is also damaged!"
"What? Is this picture broken too?" The maid also knew about it and was startled. She hurriedly asked, "My Lady, what should we do? What happened before..."
"Let's continue with what happened before. It doesn't matter if it goes wrong. It was going to go wrong anyway." Liu Jingyu gritted his teeth and said. Thinking of this, he didn't feel so painful in his heart anymore.
"Is it the same as before?" the maid lowered her voice.
"Unchanged, the same as the original." Liu Jingyu's face was gloomy and her eyes were cold. This was something she had planned long ago. Even if the picture was damaged, it would not be changed.
"But is this damaged item still where it was originally placed? County Lady, when I followed you into the Prince's Mansion that day, I didn't know anything inside the mansion. If I were to look for it somewhere else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find it." The maid said in panic.
The dowry should be placed at the place of the wedding, so it is easy to find. But now some of the damaged ones are hard to say where they were thrown. The maid is afraid that she will not be able to find this picture when the time comes.
"You go there later and put the less damaged items in one place, and have the people from the Prince's Mansion arrange a nearby courtyard. Those with serious damage can be brought back directly, but the map must be left behind, no matter how much damage it has." Liu Jingyu took a deep breath and made an impromptu response.
I found a solution, but it's the only solution.
"Yes, I'll go there in a moment!" said the maid.
If this matter is not handled properly now, it might ruin the county lady's business, and this is not something a little maid like her can take responsibility for.
"And meet that maid by the way." Liu Jingyu lowered his head, his expression having regained its composure.
"I understand." The maid understood and left...
Liu Jingyu's wedding was ruined.
Before, everyone was talking about the ten-mile red wedding, and many women were envious. But no matter how envious they were, Liu Jingyu was going to marry the prince.
However, some people secretly discussed that this Lady Jingyu was much inferior to the former Crown Princess.
Of course, some people also argued that the Crown Princess was gone, so what was the point of saying all this? Even if Lady Jingyu was not as good as the Crown Princess at that time, after all, everything from now on would be hers. In a sense, Lady Jingyu was the blessed one.
Unexpectedly, such a big change happened in the ceremony of delivering the dowry. Someone deliberately threw out a large bundle of firecrackers, which crashed into the dowry team. Not only did the people from Liu Mansion who were delivering the wedding fall into a heap, but they were also bumped into and stepped on by panicked passers-by. By the time the situation stabilized, many objects were already scattered on the ground.
The bright red silk was trampled on the ground, the exquisite porcelain was broken on the ground, and there were also scrolls, rare books and the like, each of which was a masterpiece, but now it was a mess.
Red confetti was flying all over the sky.
I don't know where this outrageous remark came from, but the red confetti in the sky, if it were white, would look like the scene when the Crown Princess was being buried.
I don't know where this rumor came from, and then everyone looked at this farce with a different look. I heard that the guards of the Prince's Mansion didn't catch anyone, and I don't know who did it. How could he escape from the guards of the Prince's Mansion? Did he come and go without a trace? Or is there something else going on, such as... the former Crown Princess
Those who sensed this felt their entire bodies tremble and cold sweats broke out on their backs.
When the Crown Princess was alive, she was the daughter of a military general and was said to have extraordinary skills. Now that she is gone, even if she is a ghost, she must be no ordinary person. If a real fight breaks out, who will be her match
It must be that she didn't like the Crown Prince's wedding, so she did this. Otherwise, who would be so bold as to do such a thing
Moreover, after doing such a thing, he was able to escape from the people in the Prince's Mansion, and even made the people in the Prince's Mansion dare not to investigate further. There must be some tricks behind this.
After the Liu family's dowry was passed over, the people on that street lingered for a long time. No one knew who had thought of it and actually threw some paper money there and burned it.
It was meant to be a secret tribute to the late Crown Princess. The previous rumors were getting more and more mysterious, and everyone was feeling uneasy, so they were offering sacrifices to seek peace of mind.
After that, more and more people threw paper money. Many people who passed by, although they did not dare to say anything about the former Crown Princess, at most they thought that the Jingyu County Lord might have a moral flaw, but they still threw the paper money, silently commemorating the former Crown Princess.
By the time the Prince's Mansion got the news and came to chase the people away, paper money had already been burned in batches on the street, and it was impossible to find out who was the first to do such a thing.
As for those who were caught later, they all said that they saw people in front of them burning paper money. They didn’t know what was going on here, they just wanted to have some fun and threw some paper money as well.
The people in the Prince's Mansion had no choice but to disperse the crowd and then stop them.
The people on the street finally dispersed, and no one dared to gather here anymore, but the rumors still spread. They all said that the Lord of Jingyu County was morally flawed, which caused the former Crown Princess to show her dissatisfaction by appearing in spirit.
Even if it was a rumor, it would not dare to involve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace at this time. However, many people who heard the rumor could not help but weigh it in their hearts. If the former Crown Princess was really dissatisfied, was she dissatisfied with this Jingyu County Lady, or with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince
No one dared to say this and could only blame it on Liu Jingyu. Since then, Liu Jingyu has been burdened with another wave of rumors.
After hearing the rumor, Liu Jingyu was so angry that she smashed several glass cups and wished she could tear the person who delivered the message to pieces on the spot. She was not someone who would suffer a loss. She could not do anything openly, so she sent people to investigate secretly. She was different from before. She had Madam Liu's people under her, so it was easier for her to investigate things than before.
But no matter how hard she investigated, she couldn't find out the truth in the end. It seemed as if everything was God's will and had nothing to do with human intervention.
Pei Luoan also heard this rumor. After hearing this rumor, his previous anger disappeared all of a sudden. After sitting quietly in the study for a long time, he put on a cloak, took his personal eunuch, and went to the mourning hall.
The female Taoist priest opened the door for her, and Xie Feng came forward to greet her: "This servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Compared to his frivolous past, Xie Feng now looks much more stable. Dressed in plain clothes, he looks much more pleasing to the eye than before.
But that was all. Pei Luoan just looked up at her with a cold face and waved his hand to signal her to go down.
Xie Feng respectfully retreated outside the door and watched the prince and the eunuchs go in, then close the door. Two female Taoist priests stood guard at the door.
Knowing that the prince didn't want to be disturbed whenever he came, Xiefeng looked around and stood next to a female Taoist priest.
Just wait here quietly for the prince to come out. If possible, she should show her face in front of the prince more often, but she can't be so out of control as before. This is what Mingxin reminded her, and Xiefeng feels the same way.
With such a caring and devoted maid around, Xie Feng felt much more at ease.
Inside the door, Pei Luoan turned to the back. The place at the back was the real mourning hall. He went in alone. The room was gloomy and cold, as if it had been several degrees colder. Once inside, it didn't feel like a warm spring day. It was cold and gloomy. If one came in rashly without being fully prepared, one would definitely shiver.
The door was closed, and Pei Luoan was the only one inside.
Pei Luoan stood at the door looking at the spirit tablet in the middle without saying a word. After a long time, he sighed and pressed lightly on a place. The spirit tablet moved silently, and a secret door appeared. The cold was even more oppressive. No wonder the temperature here was much lower than usual. Just such a secret door was cold enough to make people shiver.
The wind blew out from the secret door.
Pei Luoan adjusted his cloak. The cloak was very thick and he chose it deliberately because it was thick. He also had a lot of clothes underneath. Pei Luoan also practiced martial arts, so he didn't find it unbearable. He stepped inside and there were stairs leading down. He turned a corner and went underground. Finally, he came to a stone chamber. In the middle of the stone chamber hung a night pearl. The soft light of the pearl allowed people to see everything here clearly.
In a cold pool, filled with ice cubes, there is a crystal coffin in the middle. Inside the crystal coffin is a woman, lying quietly there...
