"Yes, Your Highness. They went to the capital city at noon today without fanfare. And they went to the imperial palace as soon as they arrived there!" Xiao Xuanzi respectfully reported to Chu Liuchen.
Chu Liuchen moved his thin lip cape without raising his head. "They don't want anyone to know that they followed me to the imperial palace. But so what? I'm a casual person, so I go wherever I want at will. What are they trying to find out?"
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Xiao Xuanzi looked at the innocent smile of his master, unsure of what he meant for a short while.
"I mean nothing. Hasn't Prince Zhou been looking for them all these days? Just let him see that they go out without taking him!"
Chu Liuchen spoke lazily, with a bigger smile than before, which made him look a little more wicked than he had just looked.
Prince Zhou, who called Chu Liuzhou, was the second son of the emperor. Besides, he also was the
In the flower hall, Di Yan, the eldest son of Duke Yong, arrived with Qin Yuru. At that moment, looking at Qi Rongzhi in front of him with great interest, he wore a smile with a gentle and delicate look while cocking his head.He looked very gentle and good-looking, with the air of a son of a noble family. However, the corners of his eyes were highly raised, making him look a little frivolous and pompous.Full of attention and interest, he was watching Qi Rongzhi talking about something. With a smile on his face, he looked very attractive.Suddenly, the voice of a female servant came from the door. He looked up and saw a girl standing at the doorway!She looked much smaller than Qi Rongzhi and Qin Yuru, but somehow, this girl inexplicably caught his eyes!The girl charmingly standing at the door stopped as if she had no intention to come over. Her jade-like face was as clear as crystal, with her long black lashes flutt
The lump was the bluegrass seal that she wore around her neck. It was said that this was originally hers, that is to say, it had something to do with her life experience!"Mother, is your Fenghua Glazed Cup still around? Why don't you just take it as a gift to Di Yan's grandfather at the Marquises’ Mansion of Fengyang!" Madam Di suddenly laughed.What Madam Di said set Qin Wanru's heart pounding. She slowly lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes, thinking that Madam Di actually took a fancy to the Fenghua Glazed Cup."That thing, forget it!" Old Grandma said faintly while shaking her head."Why not? Wanru and Yuru can also take advantage of this opportunity to visit them together. They have grown up and they should go out. We should show our girls to others, we can't keep them indoors all the time. And then... It's...... It's hard to say. It doesn't matter for Yuru, but Wanru..."Madam Di smiled, the eyes sh
Qin Wanru laughed. The lamplight set her face off to advantage, but in the shadow of the light, her snowy skin and red lips, together with her weird smile, gave a sense of gloom and horror.Qi Rongzhi was so scared that she took two steps backward and her heart started thumping like crazy.This Qin Wanru involuntarily made her feel scared."Qi Rongzhi. If I hear you call me sister Wanru one more time, don't blame me for being rude!" Qin Wanru said coldly and then turned away.Qi Rongzhi opened her mouth slightly behind her and tried to stop her, but no sound came out. She swore at herself inwardly for being easily discouraged and then composed herself. With a trace of irritation and anger in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and held back her anger."Miss..." Chun Yi looked behind and alerted her in a low voice. There was a voice behind her. Someone was coming."Let's go!" Qi Rongzhi had returned to her sens
When Qin Wanru returned to her place in Zhifang Xuan, Nanny Yu had prepared the room for her. Before that, knowing everyone was tired, Qin Wanru had told Nanny Yu to inform all the servants to go to sleep early. Nanny Yu and Yujie stood at the doorway, waiting for the return of Qin Wanru, who had sent Qingyue to sleep. She had also asked Yujie to push Nanny Yu, who was unwilling to leave, to sleep. In the yard, Qin Wanru was thinking: I brought a lot of people here, but obviously not enough. Grandma is likely to buy some from the servant trader tomorrow, and then I can ask Nanny Yu to pick a few suitable ones from those. Qin Wanru had just arrived in the capital, and Madam Di’s influence had not reached here yet . But it would be possible if the family bought another bunch of servants because Madam Di could ask the wife of Duke Yong to help her. In her beforelife, the wife of Duke Yong had pushed others forward from behind many times.
The servant trader came early on the second day. Because they needed to pick girl servants, Old Grandma asked them to go to the Xinning Courtyard. When Qin Wanru came over, it was still early. In the yard, only Shui Ruolan accompanied Old Grandma. After giving a salute, she sat down next to Old Grandma with her eyes fixed on the girls brought by the servant trader. All the people brought by the servant trader were girls, and there were more than one hundred of them. They lowered their heads and stood in the yard without making any sound. Old Grandma was very satisfied with them as a whole. "Ruolan, Zhuozhuo , since you've come, just pick your girl servants first!" Old Grandma picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her face darkened. Madam Di and Qin Yuru had not shown up yet, which indicated that they didn't respect her at all. "Wanru, pick your girl servants first." Shui Ruolan said softly. Qin Wanru nodded
On hearing her words, Old Grandma, who believed in Buddhism, nodded. "Huaguang Temple is very famous. When I was in Jiangzhou, I heard people talk about it more than a few times. It must be worth visiting!" "Is grandma going with us?" Qin Wanru asked. "I'm not going this time. There are so many things in the mansion, and many of them have not been handled well. Zhuozhuo and Ruolan can visit it first. When I have time later, you can accompany me to visit again," Old Grandma said with a smile. "Mother, I'm not going either. The mansion is in a mess, and many things need to be put in order." Shui Ruolan had originally wanted to go. She liked quiet places, and Huaguang Temple was tremendously famous. "Mother, you can go for a visit with Wanru. I will go the next time I get a chance!" "Well..." Old Grandma hesitated. She also thought that it was not the best time for Shui Ruolan to go out for a visit. "Grandma,
"Of course I can go on. Since I have climbed so many times, it would be impossible to lose to a child!" Seeing that Qin Wanru was far ahead, the great elder princess put aside her worries and went up, refusing to admit defeat. Qin Wanru was still climbing up the mountain step by step. However, Shui Ruolan had lost her strength, so she stood in the middle to rest. After a little time, she continued to go up towards Yujie . Yujie originally grew up in the mountains. Although she was tired, she could bear the physical stress. Qin Wanru's body was not as strong as hers. At this time, her face was pale, and even her lips, which had always been tender, were pallid. But she continued to climb up. "Miss, do you want to stop for a rest?" Yujie could see that she was almost spent, so she wanted to give her a hand . Qin Wanru pushed her hand away. She hardly had the strength to speak now. She just went up the mountain with all her remai
"Rui'an great elder princess?" Qin Wanru was stunned and hurriedly stood up, ready to bow to her, but Rui'an great elder princess instructed Nanny Gao to stop her. "Since your ankle is injured, you don't have to bow to me. I inexplicably feel that you are adorable when I see you. Our meeting today can be counted as predestined. Now that you’re in the capital means, you should join the circle of noble ladies. When the invitation from my family arrives, you and your mother can come together to my family!" Rui'an great elder princess stood up, speaking to Qin Wanru with a smile. "Thank you, great elder princess!" Qin Wanru excitedly looked up and then bowed with Yujie as her support. Qin Wanru was young, but she had manners, which made Rui'an great elder princess's impression of her become better and better. The princess didn't stop her from bowing this time and let her do it. After that, she pulled a bracelet from her wrist, took the hand of Q
"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
