Seeing Qu Xuexin's extremely pale face, the maid hurriedly reached out to support her.
"Xin, what's wrong?" A strange look flashed in the Old Lady's eyes as she looked at Qu Xuexin.
Qu Xuexin reacted quickly. She held the maid's hand and looked at the Old Lady apologetically, "Grandmother... I... I'm dizzy."
The maid helped her sit down on the stone bench.
Qu Xuexin gently wiped her face with a handkerchief. Qu Moying could see that Qu Xuexin's hand was trembling.
It seemed that this news was out of Qu Xuexin's expectations, which made her unable to control her expression and cover her face with a handkerchief.
Qu Xuexin calmed herself down and asked the Old Lady gently with a much more natural expression, "Grandmother, did you just say that Third Young Master He is not a good guy?"
But even so, Qu Moying could still feel that her tone was somewhat unnatural.
It was not obv
The maid Hong Mei had been following Qu Xuexin. After returning to East Mansion, she couldn't help but ask Qu Xuexin, "Lady, did you take a fancy to Young Master Xiao?"Qu Xuexin's face was still gloomy. Hearing Hong Mei's words, she sneered. "It's not about fancy. He is an option. At the very least, he might have a bright future."Xiao Hanyuan was not bad, but his family couldn't compare with those aristocratic families in the capital. He was not the best choice. If possible, Qu Xuexin still wanted a better option.Luo kept telling Qu Xuexin that although she could not enter Lord Jing Mansion like Qu Qiuyan, she should at least marry into a big aristocratic family, or she couldn't hold her head up in front of Qu Qiuyan in the future.Qu Xuexin had thought that marrying Third Young Master He was not bad, but it turned out that Third Young Master He was a monster. Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that Yu Dong was so sure, Qu Moying frowned and could only nod, "Then go and find out how far the matter has gone!"No matter how serious the matter was, she had to be well-informed about the situation if she wanted to deal with it.Qu Mingcheng was still young. Even if he thought he was clever and had planned everything, He Dayu would definitely not act as usual. He must be like a mad dog, biting whoever he saw, so it was hard to say what would happen.Yu Dong complied with the order and hurriedly left. He was confident about this matter. Eunuch Ji Hai had instructed him that all he should do now was to protect Qu Moying from any harm, including personal safety and damage to her reputation.Qu Moying's status was low, and if her reputation was further tainted, the situation would be trickier!Yu Dong understood what Eunuch Ji Hai meant, and he had long regarded Qu Moying as his master.Even
"What? Mingcheng was taken to West Prison?" Hearing this news, Qu Zhizhen slammed his hand on the table in the study, almost standing up. Qu Mingcheng was his only son, and a promising one, so he couldn't help but feel worried."Yes, he was taken away with He Mansion's people. Master, please save Second Young Master. He shall be reaching West Prison now."The lad servant was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.Qu Zhizhen's face darkened. Everyone knew that West Prison was under Pei Yuanjun's control. Qu Zhizhen couldn't bail people out from West Prison easily.Qu Zhizhen calmed down and asked, "How did you know they were taken to West Prison?""He Mansion's people told me. They are now going to ask Lord Jing for help.""Why did Mingcheng go to He Mansion?" Qu Zhizhen asked with a frown as he keenly perceived something fishy. He had never heard that Qu Mingcheng had anything to do with
Qu Moying leaned against the carriage window with her eyes closed. The long eye veil covered her eyes, revealing only her pink cherry lips. She looked extremely young and fragile.She looked so thin as if she would be broken if someone touched her, causing people to refrain from exerting strength even if they had to touch her.Granny Yan didn't say anything else. She just quietly observed Qu Moying. The eye veil was very useful and covered most of her face. People could only vaguely tell that she was beautiful, but they didn't know how gorgeous she was without the eye veil.Granny Yan couldn't see through Qu Moying although she had secretly observed her for so long.Qu Moying looked so clean and innocent, but it was hard to see through her.Granny Yan had been in the palace for many years. She was pretty good at judging others, but Qu Moying was an exception. She could not tell what Qu Moying wanted.
After being stunned for a moment, Qu Moying quickly reacted and lowered her head respectfully, but there was also a hint of indifference in her tone. "Thank you, Your Highness. I dare not trouble you!""Uncle Yun happened to be in the palace." Pei Qingmin suddenly said something irrelevant, his handsome eyes still locked on Qu Moying.Qu Moying really couldn't get Lord Wei's meaning. His words were confusing."Your Highness, Dowager Consort Qu is still waiting..." Qu Moying tentatively said. If she didn't understand his words, she wouldn't answer him, but she would like to see how this prince would continue the dialogue.Seeing her like this, Pei Qingmin seemed to lose interest. He looked at her and said indifferently, "Move on!"Qu Moying retreated to the side.The carriage set off. Looking at the slender figure standing aside, Pei Qingmin smiled and tapped gently on the sedan railing with his fing
Qu Moying knew that having it taken away by Lord Yun would be less conspicuous than taking it out of the palace by herself, but it would also let the people in Qu Mansion know that her relationship with Pei Yuanjun was unusual!However, she had expected this. It was settled when she agreed to marry Lord Yun.Since it was settled, she didn't have to hide it, in case Old Lady Qu continued to worry about her marriage."Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Moying bit her lower lip and thought for a moment before nodding.Pei Yuanjun's face softened as he saw her nod so quickly. He elegantly picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip. "Tell me, how are you going to deal with it?"Qu Moying knew that he was asking about the matter of Third Young Master He and Qu Mingcheng, so she answered with a sweet smile, "Your Highness, I will do according to your instruction!"Dowager Consort Qu was not the person to make
"No need. I just want to take a walk!" The emperor shook his head but did not move. He still looked at the couple who were standing with their hands clasped. He remembered seeing such a scene before.But it was so long ago that he couldn't recall the scene clearly, and neither would he dare to recall it.Right in front of his eyes, there were also flowers, trees, and people standing under the tree who craved nothing but only enjoyed the moment. What he saw now was like a copy of his memory. But the fact was that things were different, and the one in his memory had passed away.He couldn't help but wonder whether things would be different if he had been more resolute at that time. Would he still regret it for the rest of his life?His heart ached, and tears welled up in his eyes.Li Quan did not dare to speak. He just lowered his head and stole a glance at the emperor's expression from time to time. He had served
Mrs. He was puzzled, so she decided to meet Mrs. Liu, her smart and distant cousin sister.However, Mrs. He did not see Mrs. Liu. An old maid said to Mrs. He with a sad face, "Mrs. He, our madam is not feeling well. She just took medicine and is resting now. Our master is watching over her. It's inconvenient for her to see you."Mrs. He asked, "What's wrong with my cousin sister?"The old maid replied, "I don't know. She could neither eat nor sleep. Mrs. He, if you have anything, please tell me first. I will report it to our madam when she wakes up.""If she wakes up, please let her save my son. My son was arrested by West Prison's people." Thinking of her son, Mrs. He felt heartache and couldn't help but cry again.The old maid hurriedly advised, "Third Young Master He was arrested by West Prison's people? Madam, why don't you go to Vice Minister Qu? I heard that Qu Mansion has already been engaged with your ma
