Mingxin hurried over and bumped into Yudong at the rockery. Fortunately, both of them reacted quickly and held each other's hands to steady themselves.
When Mingxin looked up, he saw Yudong. He hurriedly lowered his head, bowed to Yudong, and left in a hurry.
The whole process was extremely short, and they separated after just a collision. A pair of colorful bead earrings fell silently from Yudong's sleeves.
This is a piece of Ji Youran's jewelry that Qu Moying had told her to get from Xie Feng.
Xie Feng's hands and feet are really not clean. He stole from the previous master to the next master, stealing from Ji Hanyue and then from Ji Youran.
Mingxin tricked Xiefeng into giving him a pair of colorful pearl earrings that he had stolen from Ji Youran. He was worried about letting such things get out, so Qu Moying happened to come to the East Palace today, so Mingxin went to find him and calmly handed the colorful pearls to Yudong.
Watching Mingxin leave, Yudong continued walking forward, picked up an extremely elegant flower from a bunch of flowers, took it off, and went back up the steps of the rockery.
He came down to pick flowers for Qu Moying.
He climbed up the stairs again and reached the rockery above. He handed the flower in his hand to Qu Moying: "Miss, this flower is beautiful. Do you like it?"
Qu Moying took the flower, held it between her fingers, and gently lifted her nose. A light and elegant fragrance, the pleasant scent of flowers filled the air.
"Although this flower looks inconspicuous, it is very beautiful when taken alone." Qu Moying nodded to show her satisfaction. She raised her eyes slightly and looked towards the yard again. She still had some questions in her mind. Only by going to that yard could she get an explanation, but she had no reason to go there at this time.
"Miss, if you really want to go over, it's not impossible, right?" Yu Dong whispered when he saw that she was still looking at the residence of the former Crown Princess.
"No!" Qu Moying shook his head. "It's okay to postpone it to today, but not now."
"But what if we came here by mistake?" Yu Dong rolled his eyes and suggested.
"No, we can't do that. Miss Liu had an incident before where she accidentally broke in. This can't happen again." Qu Moying still shook his head.
"Could it be that this incident was really just a mistake?" Thinking of what happened just now, Yu Dong said indignantly. It was obvious at first glance that this Miss Liu had no good intentions. She followed him from a distance and stared at him closely. She could still lag behind even after walking such a long distance, which showed that she had bad intentions.
"How can this matter be resolved just like that?" Qu Moying shook his head, leaned back with the hand holding the flowers, and leaned against the pillar with a somewhat lazy look, "Since you have planned this, you should at least think about it."
"Miss, what are you saying?" Yu Dong blinked and subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Of course this matter won't just end like this." Qu Moying smiled. Liu Lanxin and Liu Jingyu had support, and so did he. It wasn't that no one was protecting him, it was just a matter of time...
His eyes swept to another area, which was Liu Jingyu's place, which was also today's bridal chamber.
On the wedding night, in the last life, that was where I died, but now? How could I, the most innocent person, just go through it so easily
If her guess was correct, the painting should be the work of Liu Jingyu. Daring to take action at this time, did Liu Jingyu really think that her position as the Crown Princess was secure
Unfortunately, Liu Jingyu still misjudged Pei Luoan's personality. Even if he didn't know Liu Jingyu did it, Pei Luoan would still be angry with him...
When Pei Yuanjun came over, the banquet was over and night had fallen. This was the first time he showed up since the previous incident. Although he came late, Pei Luoan was very happy. After all, Pei Yuanjun had not left the palace during this period of time, and no one knew why.
I thought I was reprimanded by my father.
The blame was now placed on him and Pei Yusheng, and Pei Luoan still didn't understand the reason.
He specially invited Pei Yuanjun to a side hall, prepared to talk to him alone, and to test his words.
What was unexpected was that Pei Yusheng had also gotten the news. He brought Pei Yuanjun in right after him, and was very friendly as soon as he entered the room. He asked Pei Yuanjun all kinds of questions and showed great concern for him.
"I heard that something happened in the East Palace today?" Pei Yuanjun was not in a hurry. He waited until they finished their flattering words before asking lazily.
He leaned sideways on the large nanmu chair and glanced at the two brothers.
Pei Luoan and Pei Yusheng both felt a pang in their hearts and felt guilty.
"Uncle Wang, this matter should have nothing to do with Miss Liu. She just followed Miss Qu Si and followed her in because she was afraid something might happen to her. Unexpectedly, she missed Miss Qu Si and this matter finally fell on Miss Liu. Brother, do you have too many women in your house?"
Pei Yusheng reacted very quickly and spoke up for Liu Lanxin, and by the way dragged Pei Luoan into the water.
Pei Luoan spoke slowly, and when he was about to open his mouth Pei Yusheng had already taken over the conversation. When he came back, he had already spoken first, and his face was full of anger.
"Second brother, that's too wrong. When Miss Liu was caught, she happened to come out of the wing room, where the calligraphy and paintings were torn all over the floor. It had nothing to do with Fourth Miss Qu at that time. Speaking of this matter, second brother must give me an explanation." Pei Luoan said with a gloomy face.
"Brother, Miss Liu and I have explained the matter to the Crown Princess before, and the Crown Princess's opinion is to let it go for now. As for who wants to scheme against Miss Qu Si and Miss Liu, please find out clearly. Otherwise, no one will dare to come to your East Palace in the future." Pei Yusheng was very good at speaking, and he said helplessly.
The implication of these words almost pissed Pei Luoan off to death.
I was quite annoyed that Liu Jingyu just let the person go so easily.
Pei Yusheng repeatedly implied to him that it was the woman in his backyard who did it, which made Pei Luoan even angrier.
"Second brother, be careful with your words. Miss Liu's case is one in which both the innocent and the innocent were captured. What's the point of you saying these things?" Pei Luoan said bluntly.
Now there are only two brothers and the King of England, and he has no intention of letting Pei Yusheng go.
"Brother, this matter really has nothing to do with Miss Liu. It happened in your East Palace. If you say it has nothing to do with you, no one will believe it."
Pei Yusheng was not to be outdone and his eyes widened as well.
"I don't care about the affairs between your two families, but you should know who the Fourth Miss of the Qu family is to me, right?" Pei Yuanjun waved his hand, a hint of sinisterness appeared in his delicate eyebrows, "Don't argue about who is right or wrong in this matter. In my opinion, the Fourth Miss Qu is the most innocent. But from what you said, no one mentioned her affairs?"
"Uncle Wang, Fourth Miss Qu is indeed the most innocent in this matter. Fourth Miss Qu has been wronged in my East Palace. I will naturally give Fourth Miss Qu an explanation." Pei Luoan nodded and immediately expressed his opinion.
"In this matter... Miss Liu is just a victim." Pei Yusheng couldn't continue. He didn't know how to respond.
"Miss Liu's behavior is indeed very unusual. I heard from the guards in the palace that Miss Liu was with Miss Qu Si before, but after she left Miss Qu Si, she turned back and stared at Miss Qu Si, following her all the time. It was a coincidence that a secret guard of the East Palace happened to see it."
Pei Luoan said.
Pei Yusheng wanted to say something, but Pei Yuanjun flicked his sleeves lazily, stopping him from speaking. He flicked his slender fingers lightly on the table, looking very lazy. Each flick seemed to hit his heart, and he inexplicably recalled some of the things in the West Prison.
The torture instruments make this kind of sound when they are used, which is creepy.
The main reason why he thought so was that he had recently heard Pei Yuanjun specifically describe this sound in the Prince of Ying's Palace. In order to make it more vivid, the uncle performed this sound for his nephew with his fingers.
Because of this gesture, Pei Yusheng slept alone in the study that night and did not even go to the inner courtyard. He had a deep memory of it.
The open mouth closed again.
"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Fourth Miss Qu, but the Crown Princess's dowry and Miss Liu's affairs involved her. I think it's better to let the Queen try the case. No matter if it's the East Palace or Prince Jing's Mansion, they can't bully a helpless weak girl, right?"
Pei Yuanjun's handsome eyes were raised high, and his voice was as leisurely as ever, as if he was talking about something that really had nothing to do with him.
He really seems to be fighting for justice...
"Uncle Wang, I will ask the Crown Princess to make up for Miss Qu Si." Pei Luoan responded very quickly. He was indeed guilty of Qu Moying's matter. Hadn't the damaged dowry been taken back by Liu Mansion? Why was it still in the East Palace? He was also a little annoyed with Liu Jingyu.
"Uncle Wang, Miss Liu will apologize to Miss Qu Si, and will also let her explain the situation to Miss Qu Si." Pei Yusheng also hurriedly said when he saw the opportunity.
Since Liu Lanxin has already apologized, it doesn't matter if she apologizes for one person or two, so one more like Miss Qu Si won't make a difference.
Seeing that the two of them were quite sensible, Pei Yuanjun did not press them any further. A smile appeared on his face, and he said lazily: "Since the Crown Prince and King Jing have said so, I am the most tolerant. It is getting late, and I am still injured, so I will go back first!"
"Uncle Wang, it's still early, and there are royal relatives outside..." Pei Luoan tactfully asked him to stay. It would be of great benefit to him if Pei Yuanjun stayed.
"I originally wanted to stay a little longer, but I felt uncomfortable when I thought about how such a weak lady like Fourth Miss Qu could cause trouble in the East Palace. Forget it, let's go back, lest something happens to the Crown Princess's dowry again. Then it might be my fault."
Pei Yuanjun shook his hand, stood up, flicked his sleeves, ignored Pei Luoan, and left leisurely with his men.
The purpose of his coming here is really to support this Fourth Miss Qu
There was nothing wrong with this matter. Pei Yuanjun's arrogance and domineering behavior had been going on for a long time. Qu Moying was about to marry into the Prince of Ying's palace, so it was normal for him to support her.
What was abnormal was that Pei Yusheng was still nearby. When he saw Pei Yuanjun leaving, he actually laughed without any hesitation.
"What do you mean, second brother?" Pei Luoan's face darkened. He was a little wary of Pei Yuanjun, but not so much about Pei Yusheng.
"Brother, don't be angry. I just think that my uncle is a kind man. When I heard that Miss Qu Si was wronged, I hurried over to seek justice. It's true that the dowry in my brother's house is really not worth messing with. Brother, I have to leave, otherwise I'm afraid I'll get into trouble too."
Pei Yusheng's words were obviously sarcastic. After he finished speaking, he bowed to Pei Luoan, turned around and walked out.
Pei Luoan's face was as gloomy as water.
"Brother, I forgot to mention that the new Crown Princess's dowry is too generous. It actually attracted the attention of thieves. It was because of the dowry before, and it is still because of the dowry now. Isn't it the truth that one peach kills three warriors?"
After saying this, without even looking at Pei Luoan's instantly pale face, he turned and left while laughing.
When the dowry was being delivered, someone threw a large number of firecrackers, breaking up and dispersing the group delivering the dowry. Now the issue of dowry is coming up again. Could it be that someone is deliberately using the dowry to stir up trouble
