"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
Liu Jingyu, Duke Qi's Mansion's wife-born daughter, harbored some secrets, and so did Qu Moying's mother. Qu Moying's mother had never attended a banquet before she got married. Was it because of her health, or was it because of other reasons? A bold guess suddenly appeared in Qu Moying's mind.But then she ruled it out.That was impossible!If the root cause wasn't with her mother, it would be with her. However, her life as Qu Moying was simple, and she had not seen many people.Qu Moying couldn't figure it out, so she just stopped thinking about it. Some people were destined to be enemies. Since Liu Jingyu was staring at her like a poisonous snake and was ready to spit venom at her at any time, she would not sit and do nothing.Granny Miao hurried in to report, "Lady, Mrs. He is coming over with her maids!"Qu Moying was slightly stunned, but she soon came to a realization. Since Qu Qiuyan pushed
Mrs. He did not expect Granny Yan to say so. Her face darkened, and she snorted, "Even so, you won't stop Fourth Lady Qu from seeing guests, right?"Granny Yan said indifferently, "Of course not. However, you have to wait for a while. Fourth Lady Qu will finish playing soon, and we can't interrupt her at this time. Even if the ex-Crown Princess has passed away, we should still respect her."Mrs. He took a deep breath. Once again, she had no choice but to suppress her anger. She didn't walk forward but waited restlessly.Finally, the music stopped. Mrs. He glared at Granny Yan and walked up.Granny Yan stepped aside and did not stop her."Mrs. He, our lady knows you are here and she invites you in!" Yu Dong walked out with a smile on his face and respectfully gave way to Mrs. He.Granny Yan did not follow them in but went to the wing room aside.Mrs. He snorted and followed Yu Dong insid
Qu Qiuyan didn't expect Mrs. He to arrive so quickly. Her face darkened. She wanted to refuse to see Mrs. He with the excuse that she was not feeling well.When she heard the noises outside, Mrs. He had already rushed in with her maids.As soon as she entered the room and saw Qu Qiuyan, Mrs. He sneered. She pointed at Qu Qiuyan and scolded, "Third Lady Qu, you are really vicious!"Qu Qiuyan composed herself, forced a smile, and asked in surprise, "Mrs. He, what are you saying? I don't understand what you mean. Why are you still in our mansion? Didn't you just say that you were going back?"Since Mrs. He was Lord Jing's aunt, Qu Qiuyan did not dare to offend her."Qu Qiuyan, you are still pretending. Fortunately, Lord Jing does not intend to marry you. If he marries you, you will definitely make Lord Jing Mansion a mess!" Mrs. He had a bad temper, and she wanted to slap Qu Qiuyan, but for fear of offending Lord J
