Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 194: The Cold and Noble Prince (48)
Putting down the pen in her hand, Cui Jingyu packed the letter and handed it to the woman in black standing in front of the table, and said in a solemn voice, "Give the letter to Ji Huaian, and be sure to hand it to him personally."
After the woman in black left, Cui Jingyu stood by the window. She looked up at the moon with a deep look in her eyes and a handkerchief tightly clenched in her hand.
She is the eldest daughter of the Cui family and has been raised as the Crown Princess since she was a child. Her grandfather is a great Confucian scholar and she has been learning poetry, books, etiquette and the Book of Changes since she was a child. She is not inferior to her brothers in the clan.
Seeing how smart she was, her grandfather was very proud and often secretly gave her special training. Her mother was born into a family of military generals and she was weak when she was young, so in order to strengthen her body, she also learned some martial arts.
As she grew older, some negative comments began to appear. She always ranked first in the clan school. Although the clan brothers admired her on the surface, they secretly said that she was only ranked first because of her status as a legitimate daughter.
Although her efforts were not recognized, Cui Jingyu was not sad. She knew that she could not lose face for her family, so her every move set an example for noble ladies in the capital.
Although she looked down on the prince, she naturally wanted to repay her family for the wealth and glory they had given her, so she said goodbye to her parents and boarded the wedding sedan in the East Palace.
Knowing that the prince was homosexual, she remained calm and even dealt with the servant who knew about it. After the prince found out, he became even more reckless.
Cui Jingyu can endure all of this for the sake of her family and herself.
However, after accidentally hearing that the prince wanted to take the throne and use the Cui family as an excuse, Cui Jingyu turned and left. She thought that the prince would never be able to take the throne.
She also wanted to have a taste of what it was like to hold power in her hands. The founding emperor of the previous dynasty was a woman. Cui Jingyu knew that this path would be difficult, but she was not afraid at all.
The news of the emperor's death was so sudden that the Buddhist beads in the empress dowager's hand broke when she learned about it. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
Jiang Rou felt that the guarded waterside pavilions in the Cining Palace were blocked, and she thought of Ji Huaian's words before he left. He said, "Arou, if I don't come back tomorrow, you will follow the person who comes to pick you up. I have arranged a retreat for you."
Jiang Rou sat in the house, taking care of the unconscious empress dowager, and Qingyan gave her acupuncture. After a while, the empress dowager slowly woke up.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to ask, "How is the emperor?" When she saw the expressions on everyone's faces, her back suddenly collapsed, and then she went to see the emperor.
No one could stop her at all. Before they even left the palace, they heard the sounds of fighting. Those present had never seen a bloody scene, so they were frightened and turned pale when they heard the sounds.
The sounds of fighting disappeared, the palace gate opened, and Cui Jingyu, dressed in tight clothes, walked in. She was relieved to see that Jiang Rou was safe and sound.
She herself didn't need to show up, but she came to take a look because she was worried about Jiang Rou's safety. She saw the fighting scene at the palace gate. Cui Jingyu felt a little scared when she thought about it. Fortunately, she came.
Then she said to the Empress Dowager, "Your granddaughter-in-law greets the Imperial Grandmother. I have no choice but to do this. I hope the Imperial Grandmother will forgive me." The Empress Dowager waved her hand, asked her to stand up, and then asked, "What happened outside?"
Cui Jingyu looked embarrassed. After the Queen Mother asked her three times, she finally spoke with difficulty, "Please forgive me, Grandmother. The Prince of Qi surrounded the palace with his men and asked my father to pass the throne to him. My father died in a rage. Prince Ji noticed his intention and made preparations in advance, which prevented him from succeeding."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother stared blankly ahead, then fell backwards and said in a trembling voice, "Take me to see the Emperor." Then a group of people surrounded the Queen Mother and left.
Jiang Rou was one step behind the Queen Mother. When she wanted to catch up, Cui Jingyu grabbed her wrist. Jiang Rou looked up in confusion and said, "Crown Princess."
Cui Jingyu straightened her expression and said, "The remnants have not been eliminated yet. The palace is not safe yet. You stay with me."
Jiang Rou glanced at the empress dowager's back worriedly. Cui Jingyu noticed her gaze and said, "The Empress Dowager is of noble status. I have found someone to protect her. Don't worry."
Jiang Rou seemed to have thought of something and said anxiously, "The Crown Princess is still pregnant. What if she has a miscarriage?" As she said that, she was about to help Cui Jingyu go into the house.
Seeing that she didn't ask Ji Huaian but was concerned about her first, Cui Jingyu smiled, stopped her actions and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm paying attention."
After thinking for a while, she said to Jiang Rou, "You don't have to call me Crown Princess in the future. I am a few years older than you, so just call me sister."
The two were chatting in the yard when a person ran in. Jiang Rou turned around and saw Ning Xi, who looked hurried. She let go of Cui Jingyu's hand and ran towards Ning Xi.
Cui Jingyu looked at her empty hands with a lost expression. Jiang Rou ran to Ning Xi, held her hand, and helped Ning Xi to breathe smoothly.
After a long while, Ning Xi checked on Jiang Rou and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that she was fine. Jiang Rou wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said worriedly, "Sister Ning Xi, why are you so anxious?"
Ning Xi said, "The palace is too chaotic and the Queen Mother is not here. I'm afraid you will get hurt." Jiang Rou heard her words and pointed at Cui Jingyu not far away and said, "Sister, don't worry. Sister...Sister Cui is here."
As she spoke, as if she had thought of something, she pulled Ning Xi to Cui Jingyu's side and said to Ning Xi, "Sister Ning Xi, please check on Sister Cui quickly. She is pregnant and she just used force. Please help her quickly."
Ning Xi noticed Cui Jingyu, who just looked at her with an unclear expression. Seeing the worry on Jiang Rou's face and thinking of her pulse that day, Ning Xi felt a little uncomfortable.
It was Cui Jingyu who took the initiative to extend her hand to Ning Xi and said politely, "Thank you, Doctor Ning." Ning looked at her and began to take her pulse.
Jiang Rou was waiting on the side, looking a little nervous. Cui Jingyu smiled at her soothingly, turned to Ning Xi and asked, "How is it, Doctor Ning, is the child okay?"
Ning Xi paused after taking her hand back, looking at Cui Jingyu's flawless face, curious about her intention. After all, she was not pregnant at all. At Jiang Rou's urging, Ning Xi said, "It's okay, the baby is healthy."
Jiang Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but she was still worried and said to Cui Jingyu, "Sister Cui, you must be more careful in the future and don't joke with your body."
Cui Jingyu was about to say yes when she saw Jiang Rou running straight towards the palace gate. When she looked over, she saw Ji Huaian standing at the door.
The two of them ran towards each other at the same time, and then hugged each other tightly, it looked so beautiful no matter how you looked at it.
Ning Xi noticed Cui Jingyu's expression and felt a little strange. It was obviously a very touching scene, but she had an ambiguous expression on her face.
Before she could figure out the reason, she saw Cui Jingyu looking at her and saying, "Doctor Ning, I have something to discuss with you."
