"Yes, master, there is news from the other side that Qin Yuru wants to see you and has something to tell you!" Qing'er nodded and said.
Shao Wanru seldom checked Qin Yuru. A secret in Jiangzhou was related to the Qin's Mansion and the Qi's Mansion. She couldn't get it from others but Qin Yuru.
Shao Wanru was clear about Qin Yuru's taking advantage of the situation. By relying on the power of the Grand Prince's Mansion, she had negotiated with Qi Tianyu.
Qi Tianyu was ambitious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered losses to accept Qin Yuru. His purpose was the Duke Yong's Mansion in the capital city. Now, seeing that he could build ties with the Grand Prince's Mansion through Qin Yuru, how could he let the perfect chance slip?
When in Jiangzhou, Qi Tianyu was a well-known young talent who was good at studying. In addition, he was the eldest son of the magistrate of Jiangzhou, so everything fell in with his wishes back th
After talking with Qin Yuru and returning to Prince Chen's Mansion, Shao Wanru sent everyone out of her room and sat quietly alone, sorting out all the news she had heard. Shao Jing went to the border where the army was suppressing a rebellion. Back then, her parents concealed their identity and joined the army with her, who was still a little child. When the forces were redeployed, they happened to go to Qin Huaiyong's place. Then, they moved into the Qin's Mansion and knew Old Madam Qin. Their war had been going badly, so her father wanted to send her pregnant mother and her away. However, they were separated by the rebels. Her father found her, but her mother was missing. After that, her father died for Qin Huaiyong. Before he passed away, he entrusted Qin Huaiyong with her, who would soon become an orphan. Since then, she had been Qin Huaiyong's second daughter. After putting down the rebellion, Qin Huaiyong was sent to Jiangzhou,
"Yes, My Lady, I know," Qing'er replied. That was all she could do for now. Prince Chen put her in charge of some people to protect Princess Chen. If she sent them all out to inquire about the news, they might not get what she wanted, and there would be fewer people around to ensure Princess Chen's safety. Recently, the capital was amidst turbulence. Qing'er had been responsible for Princess Chen's safety, so she didn't dare to be careless. Qing'er felt a little uneasy, but she didn't know the news that the Xu State's princess would marry into the Kingdom of Dongcang had spread out... "Will Princess Yutao of the Xu State marry Chu Liuchen?" Chu Liuyue dropped the note in his hand, waved it, and handed it to Mr. Liu, his assistant. "What do you think?" Mr. Liu took it and looked at it carefully. Then he burst out laughing and said, "Your Highness, here comes an ideal opportunity!" "What do you mean?" Chu Liu
Concubine Lan was said to be the younger sister of the former Empress. Though she was of peerless beauty, she was down on her luck. It was believed that this little girl would bring misfortune to her parents, so this noble young lady was sent to live an ascetic life in a nunnery. Since then, she had grown up there. The Emperor, who was still a prince then, passed by and saw her by accident. At first sight, he fell in love with her and brought her to his mansion. Otherwise, she would have spent her remaining years till death in the nunnery. When the Emperor brought her back to the mansion, he didn't know her identity and thought she was an orphan girl taking the nunnery as her shelter in a chaotic world. Later on, she told him the story of her life. Of course, the Emperor took her to see the deceased emperor, who was seriously ill. The whole nation was gripped by the deceased emperor's affairs. No one cared about an unimportant girl's marriage. Besi
"My Lady, a pigeon mail from His Highness!" Qing'er came over in a hurry and delivered it to Shao Wanru. Chu Liuchen's letters were usually sent from the courier station or delivered along with Empress Dowager's letters. Compared with his thick letters to the Empress Dowager, the letters that Shao Wanru received were thinner. But even so, each letter had several sheets of paper. But this letter only had one piece of paper. After opening it, Shao Wanru saw only a few words. "A rumor: Princess Yutao will marry me. Be careful!" These few scarlet words were written with a cinnabar pen. It seemed that these vigorous strokes were going to go through the paper. Even the back of the paper looked blood-red, which looked quite terrifying. Shao Wanru's heart thumped. She reached out to touch her head and closed her eyes slightly. The red words made her feel weird. For some reason, the color reminded her
Nanny Yu didn't dare to make any decisions on this matter, though she was Princess Chen's wet Nanny. The chief supervisor was said to be a eunuch of the Palace who brought up Prince Chen. In the previous dynasty, he was the chief eunuch of the deceased Empress. Nanny Yu thought she was not a patch on him. "Then what do you think?" Shao Wanru, who had understood everything, asked calmly. "I mean, My Lady, you'd better not have a conflict with the chief supervisor because of this matter. Before I came here, I had already told the kitchen supervisor to scold the delivery man when he came with the food material tomorrow. If he wanted to send the food for our mansion, he mustn't send any inferior ingredients over." Nanny Yu said, trying to reconcile this dispute. "So we just let it go?" Shao Wanru asked, raising her eyebrows. "My Lady, take a step back, and everything will be fine. It's not a big deal. I can't l
"The Grand Witch of the Queen's tribe said so?" Chu Liuchen drawled lazily. His tone sounded surprised, but he didn't seem to care about it. "The Grand Witch said this trip wouldn't be dangerous for me, so my mother let me out. Otherwise, how could my opponents send me away so easily? They want me to go far away and never return, but they must ask for my permission first!" Princess Yutao said with a fierce look. However, she felt slightly unconvinced when tilting her head to look at Chu Liuchen because he obviously didn't believe the reason. The Grand Witch, born in her mother's tribe, had worked for the Xu State but returned to her mother's tribe when getting too old. That was why Princess Yutao introduced the witch to Chu Liuchen as the Grand Witch of her mother's tribe. "Don't you believe me?" "Do you have a few more convincing things to share?" Chu Liuchen asked out of boredom. It seemed that he just casually picked
"I'd like to stay idle, but I have only done half of my work since I got up early today," the young man complained impatiently. "Hey, how could you say that?" The old maid in charge was displeased and stood with her arms akimbo, scolding the youth, "The previous delivery man never talked rudely like you." "Okay, okay, okay, I can't talk nicely. I'm busy and not as good as my uncle. Okay?" The paper in the young man's hands jumped twice in the air, and he looked increasingly impatient. "Come on, check the ingredients and see if they are qualified!" The old maid in charge roared her orders with a grim face. A few old maids and servant girls came and poured out all the vegetables and meat from the baskets, ready to check them. "Alas, don't you know how to do a good job?" The young man was upset. He pointed to the food and shouted, "You dump them all over the ground. No matter how perfect they were, you must ha
"Sir, do you know whom His Highness will bring back from his trip to the Xu State?" Shao Wanru asked calmly. The chief supervisor's eyes gleamed, and he misunderstood her intentions. "Rest assured, Your Highness. The princess from the Xu State won't marry His Highness when she comes to the capital. It has nothing to do with His Highness!" He thought Shao Wanru was jealous, so he hurriedly explained. "I know that, but others don't. Some people want to use it to sound out His Highness's potential," Shao Wanru explained softly with a smile. The chief supervisor had had lots of dealings with many people in the Palace and had experienced the previous dynasty, so he obtained a sophisticated understanding of worldly wisdom. Shao Wanru's words astounded him. After pondering carefully, he immediately got up, bowed to Shao Wanru, and said with heartfelt admiration, "Your Highness, I thought too little of it."
"Not yet. My leg just cramped up." Shao Wanru reached out to touch her calf, but her belly was too big to reach it.The Emperor reached out his strong hand and massaged her calf. The young and handsome Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, you are not going to deliver the baby!"As soon as he said this, Chu Liuchen realized he had said something wrong. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that. It's good that you are not delivering the baby now."After saying that, he realized that something was wrong again and laughed.Shao Wanru laughed so hard that she couldn't speak. Since when did Chu Liuchen, who was as scheming and gloomy as a demon king, could not even speak clearly?"You're still laughing. Did I say anything wrong?" Chu Liuchen glared at her. However, with an elegant smile on his face, he didn't look domineering at all.Shao Wanru continued laughing happily. After a while, she s
Everything in the past had a cause, but this cause was concealed in many mists, so it appeared unreal.After reading the letter in her hand, Shao Wanru put it down with a trace of a smile across the corners of her eyes. She had been relieved of some things. Once she hoped that Qin Huaiyong would treat her like Qin Yuru.This was what she hoped for most in her last life. After all, at that time, she had always thought that she was Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, and she had no idea that her identity had been seized by Qin Yuru. Right now, Shao Wanru didn't want to mention it again. After the rebirth, she found out the truth and could not be reluctant to get close to Qin Huaiyong anymore.The memories of her last life were fading away, and they become blurred in her eyes.Putting down the memorial in her hand, Shao Wanru smiled with an elegant and calm look in her eyes. "Madam, please pass my gratitude to Ningyuan Army Gen
Shui Ruolan followed the Nanny who led the way ahead and felt uneasy. Since she came to the capital, she occasionally associated with some Madams from aristocratic families. She would not attend their parties unless it was necessary.On the one hand, she always had a weak character. On the other hand, every time she joined them, some Madams always asked about Madam Di intentionally or unintentionally. They were polite to Shui Ruolan on the surface, but they sneered at her behind her back when talking about her.People in the capital thought that Madam Di was Qin Huaiyong's legal wife. Shui Ruolan was a divorced woman. How could she compare with a decent Madam from an aristocratic family? Her status was much lower than Madam Di's. Of course, there were some people who flattered her. They were two-bit nobodies who wanted to curry favor with Qin Huaiyong.This was the first time Shui Ruolan had entered the Palace since she came to the capit
"Yes, Her Highness fainted. Hurry up... Inform His Highness to go to see her. Mingqiu Nun is also there... Hurry up!" Yujie was so excited that she spoke incoherently."Are you stupid?" Xiao Xuanzi looked at Yujie as if she were a fool."Quick! It's true. Believe me." Yujie was overjoyed and kept urging."His Highness will get angry," Xiao Xuanzi reminded Yujie.Yujie blinked her eyes in confusion. "Go quickly. His Highness will be happy.""His Highness will be angry!" Xiao Xuanzi said loudly. He thought that Yujie was out of her mind. What nonsense she was talking about! Xiao Xuanzi had seen with his own eyes how his master treasured Princess Chen. Princess Chen fainted now, but Yujie said that Prince Chen would be happy. What could he be happy for?Xiao Xuanzi felt a chill on his back. He even thought that he might not be safe. Instead, this silly girl was giggling here.Yujie looked
The swing swayed slowly. Shao Wanru sat on it and slightly narrowed her clear eyes in the sun, enjoying the gentle breeze. After a shower, the sky cleared up. Under the blue sky, she felt quite pleasant.It was the third day since the violent political upheaval in the Palace. Everything had returned to the right path, and the Emperor had woken up. The Fake Dead Medicine was remarkably effective.Chu Qing planned to kill the Emperor and shift the blame onto Chu Liuyue. In the end, he occupied the Palace, but at the last moment, Chu Liuchen changed the ultimate outcome.Chu Qing was not the deceased emperor's son. As the truth was exposed, he became a surviving supporter of the previous dynasty.Consort Dowager Qing had an affair with the prince of the previous dynasty on the run and was pregnant. After that, she met the deceased emperor, who had come to wipe out the rebels. She seduced him and entered the Palace. Not long aft
Chu Liuyue looked at the Emperor indifferently. During this period, the Emperor often vomited blood. He was used to such a scene. He fainted again, but so what?He walked up to pull the Emperor up and said, "Father, you'd better write it carefully so as not to cause me more trouble..."The next moment, his hand paused before the Emperor. Abruptly, Chu Liuyue reached out to feel his breath, and his face changed drastically."Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Derong was terrified and looked at Chu Liuyue. Likewise, he reached out to feel the Emperor's breath and knelt on the ground in a panic. "His Majesty... passed away!"Chu Liuyue looked sullen and reached out to feel his breath again. He found it hard to believe that the Emperor would die of anger because of him. Although he had said he was not afraid of this result, it became more difficult for him to clear up such a messy situation when the Emperor died. Since he was in t
Lights of every palace in the imperial Palace went out at night. There was a great noise somewhere. When the first scream came, many people put on their clothes and lit the lights again.These women in the Palace looked ghastly pale. They wanted to hide elsewhere but couldn't find shelter in the darkness. They trembled and huddled together, not knowing what had happened. Anyway, it didn't sound like a good thing. How could such a lot of awful noise appear in the Palace? The first idea that came to many people was that a rebellion was happening.In the night, Zhaoyi Di hurriedly followed a eunuch carrying a lantern and went to a palace out of use.Chu Liuyue was sitting in the middle of the hall."Greetings, Your Highness!" Zhaoyi Di said."How is it going?" Chu Liuyue asked."Commandery Prince Cheng has taken some people to the Emperor's resting place!" Zhaoyi Di reported."Good, well d
"From the previous dynasty?" Shao Wanru looked up. Though she was surprised, she didn't show it. She had figured it out. But after confirming it, she was wide awake."Will the Empress Dowager be in danger? I'll go to the Palace every day in the next few days!" Shao Wanru suggested."No, it's too dangerous!" Chu Liuchen shook his head."It doesn't matter. I have helpers by my side and bracelets!" Shao Wanru reached out her hand and cutely shook it. There was a pair of glossy sapphire bracelets on her wrist. At a glance, they were not ordinary.Chu Liuchen said with his face darkening, "No!"Such a close-fitting concealed weapon should be the last resort. As long as he thought Shao Wanru would be in such a dangerous situation, he would not be at ease. "Let Qin Yiyan accompany my Imperial Grandmother!""But someone should accompany and protect Noble Consort Lan. If those people deal with her..." Shao W
"Master, there is something wrong with the sandalwood." Qi Jue pulled an incense stick out of the incense burner at hand.Chu Liuchen took it and frowned. "What's the problem?"Qi Jue replied with a serious look, "There is something added to it. If it is used for a long term, one will be mentally and physically exhausted, then lack strength, and spit out blood. If putting another ingredient into the medicine at this time, it is very likely to cause sudden death."On the bed, the Emperor leaned against Noble Consort Lan with a pale face. Just now, he spat out blood again, and he felt very uncomfortable all over.Noble Consort Lan stroked the Emperor hard while looking toward Chu Liuchen with her red eyes, but she did not speak."What was added?" Chu Liuchen asked sternly. He didn't trust the imperial physicians in the Palace, so he brought Qi Jue to the Palace. After entering the Palace, Qi Jue did not check the
