Chapter 347 He Lost All His Strength
In Yongning Pavilion, Qiao Wanyan returned to her room and locked herself in the room, not allowing anyone to enter.
A talkative maid asked Miss Ziyuan what was wrong, whether she had suffered any injustice in Yuxiu Garden that made her come back so early, and whether she wanted to tell the master and the mistress, but Ziyuan did not agree.
"Has Yongning Pavilion been safe these past two days?"
The maid pursed her lips and said, "Well, they are all very good. But..."
"Just what?" Zi Yuan frowned, "I hate people who stop talking halfway. Hurry up and finish your sentence!"
The maid said, "Lu Jinye was seriously injured, but he would get up every morning and stand in the yard to bask in the sun. This morning, Lu Jinye's room was closed and he did not come out."
Zi Yuan didn't take it seriously, "What's the big deal?"
He was beaten like that by the lady's order, and he was lucky not to be beaten to death.
What's a big deal if you don't go out for just one day? It would be a big deal if you don't go out for seven or eight days and the food you sent to me is not touched.
But it’s nothing, just one of the young lady’s servants died.
"Sister Ziyuan, what happened to the young lady? She looks very unhappy."
Zi Yuan: "Don't worry about it, you can leave. Miss is in good health, and now she is in a bad mood and wants to be alone. If there is anything, Miss will tell us."
The lady didn't want to say that they should ask, wouldn't that just make her even more annoyed?
No one knew about the news that Qiao Wanyan left Yuxiu Garden late at night. The only one who knew about it, Qian Miaoyun, did not dare to go out at all. She just sent a palace maid to report to the queen.
But when the palace maid was on the way, she ran into the prince coming towards her.
"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
He Zhiyu stopped and said, "This road can only lead to Changchun Garden. I remember that you were sent by my mother to serve Qian Miaoyun yesterday. Where are you going now?"
The palace maid was young and had just started serving the Queen. She could not reach the Queen's daily life and meals on a daily basis. It was because of this that she was sent to serve Qian Miaoyun.
Because it was insignificant, even if the queen gave this palace maid to Qian Miaoyun, it would not have any impact on her.
The maid didn't dare to lie, "Miss Qian asked me to report to the Queen Mother that Miss Qiao smashed the vase in the room last night and made a scene to go back to the Shangshu Mansion in the middle of the night. The young marquis of Jing'an Mansion personally arranged to send her back."
He Zhiyu frowned slightly. Was she hiding from him to this extent?
Returning home late at night?
The love poison must be removed as soon as possible!
The palace maid was a little at a loss. She glanced at the prince cautiously, not daring to speak or retreat. She just stood there respectfully.
Jing Yuan was quick to go to Changchun Garden. He knocked on the door of the main house but no one responded. There was no maid guarding the door either, so he hurried back.
"Your Highness, there is no sign of the Second Young Lady in the main house of Changchun Garden."
He Zhiyu asked in a deep voice: "What did she say last night?"
Jing Yuan reminded, "Did Miss Qiao Er do anything else unusual last night?"
The maid shook her head. "I just followed Miss Qian back to Changchun Garden. The young marquis was in the courtyard. When he saw Miss Qian coming back, he had an argument with her. He told her to keep her voice down so as not to disturb the second young lady, who had gone to bed. But Miss Qian couldn't help but quarreled with him for a few words. Then there was the sound of a vase being smashed in Miss Qiao's room."
He Zhiyu frowned, "What happens next?"
"After that, Miss Qiao told the young marquis that she wanted to go home, and the young marquis went to prepare. After a while, they all left."
He Zhiyu's obsidian eyes were silent and cold. After a moment's silence, he ordered, "Go tell my mother that Miss Qiao was seriously ill last night and needs to go home to recuperate. Someone has already been sent to tell me."
The palace lady's expression changed slightly and she nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness."
If he left without permission, it would be tantamount to disrespecting the Queen and entering and leaving the royal gardens at will without any rules.
But if she told the prince in advance, the queen could not be blamed.
"If you gossip about me for a single word, I will bury your entire clan with you."
The little palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then she said repeatedly: "I dare not, I absolutely dare not."
Jing Yuan said: "Back off."
After the maid left, Jing Yuan spoke again, "Your Highness, Miss Qiao is hiding from you. I guess she is afraid of accidentally hitting Your Highness, so she is hiding."
He Zhiyu didn't say anything. He looked in the direction of Changchun Garden. After looking for a long time, he whispered to himself, "She said that she hates me the most."
"What?" Jing Yuan asked as he didn't hear clearly.
He Zhiyu changed the subject, "If it weren't for Qian Miaoyun, her love poison would have been removed by now, and she wouldn't be so ruthless to me."
Jing Yuan said: "Your Highness, Miss Qian is the only legitimate daughter of the Queen's mother's family. If something goes wrong easily, the Qian family will definitely put pressure on the Queen."
He Zhiyu closed his eyes for a long time, and when he opened them again, he looked calm again.
He turned and left, saying indifferently, "Don't worry, everyone will die one day."
In the distance, guards suddenly ran towards this side in a hurry.
The guard ran over and knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, there was a fire in the East Palace, and six palaces were burned down in a row!"
Qiao Wanyan locked herself in her room for the entire day, and only opened the door when the blood-red sunset slowly sank to the west.
Zi Yuan immediately stepped forward with some worry, but seeing that the young lady was no longer as gloomy and gloomy as when she came back in the morning, but was as radiant, proud and confident as before, she felt a little relieved.
That's enough, as long as the lady is fine, that's enough.
"Miss, you haven't eaten breakfast or lunch yet. Can I ask someone to prepare dinner for you?"
Qiao Wanyan said in a clear voice: "Yun Yao told me last time that she made a poison that would make people live a life worse than death if they took it. It would break their livers and intestines, and their hearts would be torn. It wouldn't kill them, but they would be tortured. Go find it, I can use it."
Zi Yuan immediately nodded in agreement and went into the warehouse to look for it.
Qiao Wanyan said again: "Where is Lu Jinye? Ask him to come over and accompany me to meet someone."
The maid of Yongning Pavilion pursed her lips and didn't know how to start: "Lu Jinye has been in the room and has not come out. A servant went to bring him food and found, found......"
Qiao Wanyan frowned, "Found out he's dead?"
"No, I don't know how to start. Why don't you go and take a look, Miss? Lu Jinye is really weird at the moment."
Qiao Wanyan opened the door, looked around and didn't see Lu Jinye, so she walked towards the inner room.
Looking at the figure on the bed, Qiao Wanyan fell silent.
Lu Jinye, covered with a thin quilt, was kneeling in the corner with his back to her, his head leaning against the wall, his arms hanging down as if he had lost all his strength.
He looked as if he was doubting his life, as if he had suffered a great blow and shock.
