"Mother...Mother..."
"What? Do you think this is not good, or do you not dare?" Madam Liu said coldly, staring at her daughter. Her originally beautiful eyes had become a pair of bulging fish eyes due to her weight loss. They looked bulging and had long lost the dignity and honor of the former wife of Minister Liu. This once again reminded the Madam Liu in front of her that she had long lost her former power.
The whole person looks much older.
"Mother... the prince won't allow it. If he knew..." Liu Jingyu said uneasily. She had to deal with Ji Youran, and she couldn't spare the attention to deal with other people at this moment.
Moreover, this incident involved the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince repeatedly warned himself to be careful and not to let anyone catch him making any mistakes again.
By then, not only will he not be able to protect himself, he will no longer be able to protect himself.
"Are you afraid of the crown prince? If you are afraid of the crown prince, you don't have to do anything, just sit and wait for death!" Madam Liu laughed, her voice was like a night owl, and it made people feel strange and cold. "Wait for Concubine Ji to give birth to an heir, and then destroy your heir in the future, or you can't give birth anymore, and everything will fall into the hands of others in the end. You are just guarding an empty shell, living one day at a time? There are many concubines like this in the cold palace, even the queen is the same."
Liu Jingyu shuddered at these words, and his face turned pale: "But mother, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Ying. We are going to deal with Concubine Ji."
"If you can't deal with Concubine Ji, you won't get any benefit in the future, and you will be doomed forever! If you can't deal with Concubine Ying, you won't be able to wait for the future, and you will also be doomed forever."
Madam Liu stared into Liu Jingyu's eyes and laughed wildly, but her voice was not loud, as if the laughter came out from her mouth with her hands covered. This creepy smile fell into Liu Jingyu's ears, making her gray face even paler.
He reached out and grasped Madam Liu's hand, which was as thin as a dead tree, and asked anxiously, "Mother, what evidence does Princess Ying have against me?"
She didn't think Qu Moying had such great ability.
"It's not yours, it's mine, my leverage." Madam Liu seemed to be very happy, but in fact it was creepy. "My origin, it's my origin. If you reveal my origin, not only me, but also you..."
Madam Liu pointed at Liu Jingyu and smiled more horribly: "Everything you have, your Crown Princess, everything you have, everything you have had for the past ten years, will no longer exist. The Crown Prince can't help you, and the Queen can't help you either."
Liu Jingyu trembled at what she said: "Mother... Mother..."
"Go ahead and do as I say. No matter what, only one of you can survive. This is a fateful duel! Just like between me and her biological mother, if I live, she dies, and if I die, she lives. Everything is destined, and only one of you can survive." Madam Liu smiled, and the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger, making it seem weirder.
"Mother... I want to know why this happened?" Liu Jingyu tried hard to calm himself down, sweat already beading on his forehead.
"You don't need to know, or you don't need to know now. In destiny, between you and her... only one will survive, and the one who survives will get everything, all of it, wealth and honor, countless favors..." Madam Liu pinched Liu Jingyu's hand hard, squeezing it so hard that it hurt Liu Jingyu.
The voice became lower and lower, and it was close to Liu Jingyu's ear.
I don't know how long it has been since I last washed myself properly.
Yu only felt a foul smell between her nostrils, which made her want to vomit, but she had to endure it and looked at Madam Liu's almost crazy eyes.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, don't worry, I won't let her survive."
"Okay, you are indeed my good daughter. I told you this when you were little, and I keep telling you this now. Princess Ying, you shouldn't be alive. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. Dying early will also help her be reborn in a good way..."
Looking at Mrs. Liu who was a little crazy again, Liu Jingyu gritted her teeth and suppressed the doubts in her heart. She was not stupid and could guess some things, but after guessing part of it, she didn't dare to guess any further.
He held the handkerchief with his cold hands, letting the sweat on his forehead slowly condense. He sat stiffly on the chair, looking at Madam Liu's crazy eyes that had lost control, with only his hands trembling slightly...
She must get rid of him. Even if her mother didn't say so, she would still do it. But she is not in a hurry. She is the Crown Princess now. There is no need to worry. Everything in the future will be hers.
There was no need to rush, but her mother's words made her heart palpitate.
Are she and Qu Moying in conflict? Only one of them can survive? Or is Qu Moying also a phoenix? Thinking of this, cold sweat has already soaked my back, and I gritted my teeth...
After coming out of Madam Liu's yard, Liu Jingyu was not in a hurry to go back. He only left a maid with him and sent everyone else to wait outside.
She walked out slowly with her maid, stopping from time to time to look at the familiar scenery. Every blade of grass and every tree here looked familiar to her that day, and she remembered them all clearly. However, she was no longer the legitimate daughter of the Liu Mansion, but the high and mighty Crown Princess. Looking at everything in front of her, she became a little more indifferent.
A young man hurried over from the corner. Seeing Liu Jingyu approaching, he was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward to salute: "Greetings, Crown Princess."
It was Gao An, the husband of Liu Jingyu's elder sister, and their marriage was approved by Minister Liu.
Gao An now lives in the outer courtyard of the Liu Mansion, where there is a separate courtyard given to him. He comes and goes freely in the Liu Mansion, especially now that Liu Jingyu is married. From time to time, he goes to the inner courtyard to visit Liu Jingxiang, the concubine, and expresses great joy and care for her.
This made Minister Liu very satisfied, and he looked at Gao An with even higher respect.
Gao An has now entered the officialdom, although he is only a minor official, but he has passed the examination through proper examinations, so his future prospects are hard to say. However, if he has someone to help him, his future prospects will be limitless.
The father-in-law and son-in-law are now being taken care of by Minister Liu, but if he has the chance in the future, they may help each other, or it may be the time when Gao An can soar to success.
"Mr. Gao." Liu Jingyu smiled slightly, "Are you going to see your sister?"
"Indeed, I went to see Miss Liu. I didn't expect to meet the Crown Princess." Gao An hurriedly bowed again.
Seeing him put his hand into his sleeve, it should be a gift for Liu Jingxiang. Liu Jingyu smiled slightly, "Mr. Gao really loves me deeply."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats the Crown Princess the same way." Gao An said respectfully, and then changed the subject, "I heard from the Minister that something happened to a maid in the Crown Prince's mansion?"
When Liu Jingyu thought of the maid's matter, he felt irritated, but it was inconvenient for him to say anything in front of Gao An. He just said calmly: "It's just a little maid's matter, it's nothing.
The disposal has been completed!"
"It's been dealt with? So quickly! I was thinking that if the Crown Princess needed anything, An could come and help. After all, An is a man, and it would be more convenient for him to walk outside." Gao An said with a smile.
"Do you have a solution?" Liu Jingyu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. Although the matter of the maid was over, not only did she lose face, but she was also reprimanded by the Queen Mother and the Prince. She still felt depressed when she thought about it now. She originally wanted to plot against others, but she didn't expect that it would involve herself.
"Of course there is a way. It's just a maid's business. Just let people admit it." Gao An said disapprovingly.
"Let people recognize it? Will the people in the Eastern Palace recognize it?" Liu Jingyu's heart moved.
"Why would someone from the Eastern Palace be involved? If it was someone from the Eastern Palace, it would definitely involve the Crown Princess. We can find someone else to take responsibility for the incident and just say that the maid was alive before and died later. It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess. We don't know if it has anything to do with anyone else."
Gao An laughed.
Was she alive before? She was still alive after being sent to the mass grave, so she died later. So the thing in her hand might not only be hers, but Liu Lanxin might be even more likely
She dealt with the person in a hurry, perhaps because she felt guilty.
"It would be even better if someone could tell us what this maid said at that time." Gao An smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice.
Liu Jingyu's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked up at Gao An, looking him up and down again, as if she saw him clearly again. This was a really good idea. If only she had thought of it at the time and had someone to order her to do it.
She has some people under her control, but they are all secretive and it is not convenient for them to handle matters like negotiating with the government.
"Mr. Gao... is such a smart man." Liu Jingyu smiled slightly, his expression gentle.
"Your Highness, you are too polite. Miss Liu and the Crown Princess are sisters. When the Crown Princess gets benefits in the future, she will definitely not forget Miss Liu. If An Ruo is smart, she will also lend a helping hand to the Crown Princess." Gao An said with a meaningful smile.
Liu Jingyu certainly understood what he said, and nodded with a smile: "If there is anything in the future, I will definitely trouble Master Gao."
"Your Highness, please just give your orders. If there is anything you ask, I will not neglect it." Gao An bowed again, with a smile on his face while showing respect.
"Okay, it's a deal then."
"Of course I'll follow the Crown Princess's orders!" Gao An assured once again, then stood aside with his hands clasped, respectfully waiting for Liu Jingyu to come over. Only when Liu Jingyu came over with a smile did he raise his head with a faint smile on his face. In fact, he came here just for the Crown Princess.
Among all the people in the capital, only the Eastern Palace is the most suitable place for him. Besides, the person he is going to marry is Liu Jingxiang, who is of the same family as the Crown Prince and the Eastern Palace. Even if he has not done anything, he will inevitably be classified as one of the same party. So he needs to say this, and it is better to help the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the future benefits will be much less. He has always been a person who dares to take shortcuts. If he doesn't take this opportunity, wouldn't it be too stupid...
Opportunities are found by oneself, not given by others. He was just a small official, and if he had not been looking for opportunities, he would not have fallen in love with Liu Jingxiang, a concubine's daughter.
The son-in-law chosen from the list, with his looks and talent, how could he just marry a little concubine's daughter...
