Chapter 513: Chapter 513: She must have seen it wrong_1

“Miss, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Cuihe asked with concern.

“I don’t know, too many things have happened today…”

At this moment, Wei Qingwan was in a chaotic state of mind.

Originally, to accompany Prince Yu and the Queen to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet was a great opportunity for her, as she finally had the chance to meet with Prince Yu.

But reality did not meet her expectations, Prince Yu showed no reaction to seeing her.

The only reason he spoke to her was to discuss matters relating to Wei Qingruo.

This made her feel a deep sense of crisis. If she could not win his favor, she did not know what her future status in this imperial residence would be like.

The prince seemed to care a lot about Wei Qingruo’s affairs, and the queen also seemed to hope that she could get along better with Wei Qingruo.

But how could she swallow her pride and form a good relationship with Wei Qingruo? She had assumed the position of Prince Yu’s Concubine in order to trample Wei Qingruo underfoot!

What should she do? How could she develop deep associations with Wei Qingruo without being suppressed by Qingruo?

Another thing that bothered her was the appearance of King Rui.

Although the light during the palace feast was not as bright as in the daytime, it was not too dark either. When King Rui spoke, her distance from King Rui was not too far. Were the chances of seeing him wrongly high under such circumstances?

Wei Qingwan was somewhat annoyed. If she had known earlier, she would have looked closer at Kingdom Rui’s appearance when she went with Queen Yu to toast Wei Qingruo. At that time, their distance would have been even closer, she would have been able to see clearly.

“Miss, Miss, what’s wrong?” Seeing Wei Qingwan in a daze, Cuihe asked worriedly.

“Cuihe, when Second Brother’s body was brought back, did you get a clear look at it?” Wei Qingwan asked.

“This … the servant wouldn’t dare. I heard from others that Second Young Master was gruesomely mutilated by thieves. Combined with the time it took to deliver his body, it had begun to decay. The sight was extremely frightening,” Cuihe replied.

After finishing, Cuihe asked Wei Qingwan, “Miss, why are you asking this? Discussing the dead out of nowhere is frightening.”

“It’s nothing.” Wei Qingwan didn’t know how to discuss the matter.

She must have seen wrongly. One was a Concubine’s son of the Wei family, and the other was a legitimate prince. They had completely different identities, how could they be linked together?

Moreover, King Rui was ill, and his life would not be much longer. Wei Jinyi was healthy and unharmed, he would not have died so young unless he had encountered an accident.

In the depth of night, Wei Qingwan, assisted by Cuihe, washed and dressed. With her heart filled with confusion, worry, and unwillingness, she lay on her bed, staring at the moonlight shining through the window into her room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

King Rui’s Residence.

Upon returning to the residence, Wei Ruo immediately bathed and changed clothes, then threw herself onto the bed.

“I’m so exhausted,” Wei Ruo said, feeling weary all over.

“Miss, I’ve never seen you this tired even when you do a full day’s farm work,” Xiumei teased Wei Ruo, laughing.
