"Miss Liu, I will accompany you to apologize to the Crown Princess." Pei Yusheng coughed softly and interrupted her.
"What...what?" Liu Lanxin looked at Pei Yusheng in front of her in disbelief.
"Could it be that Miss Liu doesn't even know the most basic etiquette now that she is not in the capital?" Pei Yusheng's tone became a little heavier.
"But...but I was framed." Liu Lanxin's eyes turned red with grievance. She was the only daughter of the General Auxiliary to the Country, the General Auxiliary to the Country's most beloved daughter. She could get whatever she wanted on the border. Except for the time when she had coveted Pei Yuanjun before, she had never suffered such a great injustice.
To put it bluntly, she was like a princess on the border.
"Is there any evidence?" Pei Yusheng asked Liu Lanxin disappointedly. When Pei Luoan was here just now, he just blindly protected Liu Lanxin and even contradicted and threatened Pei Luoan. But this time he had to let Liu Lanxin understand the importance of the matter. Some things are not right just because she says so.
"But there is no evidence to prove it was definitely me, right? And... and why would I do this?" Liu Lanxin was also anxious, and she even forgot to say "servant" at this time.
Pei Yusheng looked at Liu Lanxin and said calmly, "Are you planning to report this to the Empress? The Empress would be very willing to use this incident to cause trouble. Regardless of whether you did it or not, it would be a bit unclean for you to be involved. Then your mother wouldn't be able to speak for you."
"But...but, this is really not my fault." Liu Lanxin said.
"Since it's not you, why are you staring at Miss Qu Si, and keep staring at her like this? What do you want to do?" Pei Yusheng looked at her solemnly and asked, with disappointment in his eyes.
He remembered that when he first met this Miss Liu, even though she didn't say much and had a veil on her face, she still made his heart beat faster. She was intelligent, yet a little distant, which made people want to get close to her. He really wanted to marry this Miss Liu at that time.
The initial reason was naturally her identity and Liu Xiangshan behind her.
But later on, he sincerely felt that this woman could be his principal wife, and if he ascended to that position in the future, this woman could also be the mother of the country.
But this time when he went to Beijing, Pei Yusheng was actually a little disappointed.
First, the Crown Prince and the Queen took a fancy to him, and Liu Lanxin seemed to accept it happily. If Pei Luoan's position as the main wife was not determined, she would probably do the same as Liu Jingyu and directly kick him out for Pei Luoan. This idea arose in Pei Yusheng's mind at some point.
Whenever I think of it, I suppress it.
After all, Liu Lanxin is not Liu Jingyu.
But now, I inexplicably feel that this Miss Liu is just so-so. She has long lost the stunning feeling that I had when we first met. Could it be because the two of us have been together for too long
"I... I just wanted to see what Fourth Miss Qu was up to?" Liu Lanxin explained hastily. Although it was a little hard to say here, it was much easier to say than in front of Princess Shi Changyu. She calmed herself down and said, "I thought the Crown Princess wanted to deal with Fourth Miss Qu again, so I followed her, wanting to save her when the time was right. I didn't expect her to say she didn't see me and went out the side door on her own."
Speaking of this, Liu Lanxin became very angry.
"What if she really didn't see you?" Pei Yusheng asked.
"How is that possible? I was just hiding behind the tree." Liu Lanxin said.
"How could she see you when you were hiding? You also said that she framed you and came out from the side door and you didn't see her at all. Could it be that you had already gone in when she came out?" Pei Yusheng analyzed coldly.
Liu Lanxin didn't believe it. "Your Highness means that Miss Qu Si and I happened to pass each other at that time. I went in through the side door first, and then Miss Qu Si
They came out from another place and just happened to miss each other?"
How could it be such a coincidence
"Isn't this possible?" Pei Yusheng asked.
"It's possible." Liu Lanxin was silent for a moment and finally admitted it.
"Since this is possible, how could Fourth Miss Qu frame you? As for the Crown Princess, does she have the energy to do anything in the Eastern Palace at this time? The most likely person is Concubine Ji." Seeing that she still didn't understand, Pei Yusheng continued to analyze, suppressing the anger in his heart. He hoped that Liu Lanxin could understand this.
"Yes... the most likely one is the concubine." Liu Lanxin's eyes lit up and she said repeatedly.
"Why does she want to harm you?" Pei Yusheng curled his lips sarcastically. "Besides, even if it was her, would you bother to fight with a little concubine? In order to fight with her, you let the Crown Princess laugh at you? Even if you defeat her, what does it matter?"
"I..." This question left Liu Lanxin speechless.
The ones she wanted to fight were always Liu Jingyu and Qu Moying. She really didn't take the little Ji Youran seriously. The two of them were simply not on the same level. She even thought about using Ji Youran to do something.
And now, she, who was about to become the Princess of Jing, was making such a big fuss just to deal with a concubine from another mansion. This was originally a joke, and a joke that made people feel completely unrelated.
"Let's go. No matter what the details of this matter are, the fact that the maid cannot be found in the Prince's Mansion does not count as your conviction. But no matter whether it is or not, the painting has something to do with you, and there must be an explanation, otherwise the Crown Princess will go to the palace to cry and make a fuss, and we will be embarrassed." Pei Yusheng walked out.
Liu Lanxin gritted her teeth. Although there were no outsiders around at this time, she knew that Pei Yusheng was right. She had accidentally fallen into someone's trap today, and she didn't even know who that person was. She followed Pei Yusheng with heavy feet. This time, even if she didn't say anything explicitly, she had lost face.
Since she came to Beijing, she has always been proud, and she has never been so embarrassed. The handkerchief in her hand was almost crumpled to pieces, and her lips were bitten red, but she had to follow Pei Yusheng who was walking proudly...
There were quite a few maids in the bridal chamber, some of whom were Liu Jingyu’s own dowry and some from the Prince’s Mansion.
There was no one else around at the moment, but Liu Jingyu couldn't just rest by himself. He still sat quietly on the bed, waiting for Crown Prince Pei Luoan to come back.
A maid came in and reported: "Madam Crown Princess, Miss Liu and His Royal Highness Prince Jing want to see you."
Liu Jingyu looked up in astonishment, not understanding why the two of them came here at this time. It was even more against the rules for King Jing to come in.
But since two people came together, she couldn't refuse them, so she nodded. She was a newcomer and had to remain dignified and decent today.
It's not that you can't talk, but you can't say too much. You have to behave quietly and peacefully. This is actually not a good time to meet people. But now that King Jing and Liu Lanxin are here, it's obvious that something's going on. Could it be that the matter over there involves Liu Lanxin? Liu Jingyu's heart couldn't help but move.
Only Liu Lanxin came in. Pei Yusheng did not show up here without courtesy and just waited outside.
Seeing Liu Jingyu sitting on the wedding bed in heavy makeup, Liu Lanxin clenched her fists, then slowly opened them and bowed deeply to Liu Jingyu.
"My Lady Crown Princess, someone framed me! They tricked me into the place where the Crown Princess kept her damaged dowry, and I saw that her painting scroll was destroyed. Lan Xin hereby apologizes to the Crown Princess."
"No problem!" Liu Jingyu was stunned. How could this be different from what she had planned? But she still reacted very quickly and said these two words with a smile on her face, looking very generous.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing said that the people who harmed me will be investigated. His Royal Highness has also taken responsibility for this matter and will send a few scrolls to let the Crown Princess
"Does the Crown Princess think this is feasible?" Liu Lanxin asked Liu Jingyu.
Liu Jingyu nodded and smiled. She had to do so. At this time, she should not speak if she could. Although it was not absolutely forbidden to speak, but when she was getting married and sitting on the wedding bed, how could she speak casually? Wouldn't it make the bride seem too noisy
Liu Jingyu thought that King Jing knew the rules just now, but now he hated King Jing for not knowing the rules. He secretly gnashed his teeth in hatred. Why did he bring Liu Lanxin here at this time? Besides, wasn't this Qu Moying's fault? Is Qu Moying okay
The veins on his clenched hands were about to burst with anxiety.
I feel frustrated and anxious. How could things turn out like this? I had clearly arranged everything before...
She had more reasons to frame Qu Moying. Everything she did before was linked to each other and was for today. How come it sounds like this matter has nothing to do with Qu Moying at all
What happened here
Then, were all his previous efforts wasted? Liu Jingyu was anxious and angry, and wanted to vomit blood...
Her maid came in just now, but there were people from the Prince's Mansion at that time, and she couldn't tell her clearly, so until now she didn't know what exactly happened.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess is so magnanimous. Lan Xin will take her leave first." Seeing that Liu Jingyu was easy to talk to, Liu Lan Xin breathed a sigh of relief. She also realized Liu Jingyu's current state. Seeing that she wanted to say something but couldn't, the anger in her heart subsided a little. Liu Jingyu also looked very aggrieved. It seemed even less like she did this.
Ji Youran, Concubine Ji, it must be her!
How dare a concubine be so ostentatious...
After retreating to the door, Liu Lanxin saw King Jing with his hands behind his back. She hurried forward and wanted to tell him in detail about the situation inside, but she saw that he had turned around and strode out without paying any attention to her. She knew that it was not convenient for him to stay here for long, but she still felt inexplicably wronged.
In today's incident, I was obviously the most innocent person, but now it seems that everything is my fault, and I have to admit my mistake to Liu Jingyu.
What does Liu Jingyu have? It just so happens that the position of Crown Princess is vacant, otherwise what is she
Qu Moying sat down in a pavilion on a rockery in the East Palace. Princess Changyu took Princess Xiangrong aside to talk. Princess Changyu would definitely take her daughter aside to ask about what happened. Qu Moying found this place to sit down and enjoy the scenery and stopped walking around.
The rockery was high and one could see many places. Wherever he looked, the yard where Ji Hanyue was that day was faintly visible. The corners of his lips curled up silently with a chill in his expression.
"Miss, will he doubt you?" Yu Dong asked in a low voice.
"Why do you suspect me? She walked into the side door just before I left. She indeed did not enter the main house, and I did not make it in time." Qu Moying said lightly. She and Yu Dong were not far from the side door. They saw Liu Lanxin enter the room and then leave at the same time.
"Why did that old lady who was sweeping the floor disappear?" Yu Dong asked again.
They actually met some people when they came out. This place was a little off and at an angle, but coincidentally, a woman sweeping the floor passed by behind them. Although the noise was not loud, Yu Dong still noticed her and caught a glimpse of the woman's back. It was when Qu Moying came out, and when the commotion started, the woman disappeared.
Yu Dong originally wanted to propose such a woman, but was stopped by Qu Moying.
"No need, we will check, if there is... it will be found naturally, no rush!" Qu Moying shook his head and said calmly, his eyes once again fell on the empty corner of the yard.
On a small path outside the rockery, a maid hurried over...
