Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 96: Ji Youran's Sudden Allergy

Pei Yusheng calmed himself down as the irritated look on his face softened. “Brother, I know you have nothing to do with it. I should have a sharper eye,” he bowed to Pei Luo’an and said.

Pei Luo’an patted his shoulder with a bitter smile on his face, “I really appreciate your trust. You know…who I love the most…in my life. My dear is gone… She took away all my love…”

Pei Luo’an turned his head away with tears forming in his eyes and wiped them with a hanky. Then his gaze fell on the coffin in the center, full of sorrow that everyone could see.

“Brother, I’m so sorry for your loss. The Crown Princess died for saving your life. If she knew how heartbroken you are, she would be upset too in the underworld,” Pei Yusheng comforted him.

“I know… But I…I lost the love of my life forever…” Tears flowed down Pei Luo’an’s cheeks. He clenched his hanky, his body trembling in grieve.

Pei Yusheng hurriedly walked up to steady him, “Brother, you have to take care of your health and have more rest. The Crown Princess wouldn’t want to see you like this.”

“I’m just too sad,” Pei Luo’an nodded. He wiped his tears, let out a deep sigh, and put on a desperate look on his face. “If it weren’t for Father and Mother, I would leave the world with her.”

“Brother, Father and Mother always know you are a filial son…” Pei Yusheng added.

Seeing them turn back to their usual, friendly attitude was a relief for Princess Changyu. She signaled her husband with a glance and backed out with her family. Afterward, her husband and her son went to the outer yard, while Princess Changyu went to the inner yard with her daughter, Infanta Xiangrong.

Princess Changyu wanted a talk with Ji Youran to remind her to beware of Qu Qiuyan. Usually, a woman like Qu Qiuyan wouldn’t be worth so much effort, nor did Princess Changyu care if the Crown Prince liked her or not. However, everyone knew the relationship between Qu Qiuyan and Lord Jing. If the Crown Prince was involved, especially during the Crown Princess’s funeral, that would be a big scandal about the imperial family.

Princess Changyu was not a meddlesome person, but she didn’t want to get involved in the trouble. She and her family were the only people witnessing the whole thing, and they would surely keep it a secret. However, walls always have ears. If rumors spread out later, both the Crown Prince and Lord Jing would blame her family. She would rather talk to Ji Youran directly about it first.

Then it would be up to Ji Youran for the next step, which had nothing to do with her anymore.

While heading to the inner yard, Princess Changyu and her daughter saw a large group of people walking over. The leading person was Ji Youran. If it weren’t for those servants of the Eastern Palace around her, Princess Changyu couldn’t even recognize her since she wore a veil to cover her face.

“Your Royal Highness,” seeing Princess Changyu, Ji Youran hurriedly went up to curtsy to her.

Princess Changyu let Ji Youran up at once. She frowned at her face, “What happened?”

She remembered Ji Youran looked fine when she entered the Eastern Palace. But right now, it seemed that something was wrong.

“My face suddenly became swollen. I don’t know if I touched something weird,” Ji Youran said with her head lowered.

“Have you seen an Imperial Doctor?” Princess Changyu twisted her brows more. At the Crown Princess’s funeral, Ji Youran was the only master in charge of the inner yard of the Eastern Palace. How could she receive guests with her face swollen?
