"Yuan'an, what has happened? Didn't you come here to attend a banquet? Why did you bring so many people and follow Princess Yuyan here?" Chu Liuzhou frowned deeply and said asked, his face cold. His eyes fell on Infanta Yuan'an. If he made a slight mistake, he would be implicated. Although his mother was the Empress, she held no real power for the time being. At this critical time, he couldn't let anything happen to her.
Helping Infanta Yuan'an clear her name was the only way to get him out of trouble.
For this reason, Chu Liuzhou had to save Infanta Yuan'an and remind her.
This place was the two princesses' courtyard. Most people in the large group were Princess Yuyan's servants. Yuan'an had only brought two servant girls, but Princess Yuyan took a large group with her.
Compared with Infanta Yuan'an, Princess Yuyan was more likely the one plotting against Princess Chen. Chu Liuzhou felt that Princess Yuyan had nothing to do
When Princess Yuyan pushed Infanta Yuan'an, no one expected Infanta Yuan'an to bump her head.Princess Yuyan was also flustered. Her hands and feet trembled as she muttered, "No, not like that. I didn't use much strength. I didn't push her.""Go and find a doctor!" Princess Yutao appeared at the door, looked at the scene inside, and ordered a palace maid beside her. The palace maid turned around and ran out.Behind the bed curtain, Shao Wanru looked at the scene before her calmly. In Shao Wanru's previous life, Infanta Yuan'an managed to stay alive after an awful disaster happened to Prince Zhou. The past matched the reality. From this scene, she could tell that Infanta Yuan'an was a formidable opponent.When pushed, Infanta Yuan'an rushed out and hit herself heavily. Shao Wanru, lying on the bed, could even hear the thud clearly. It could be seen that Shao Wanru had exerted much strength. Infanta Yuan'an was not afraid that
The Emperor delivered another imperial edict to Consort of Virtue and Consort Ming. He asked Consort of Virtue to choose three noble ladies to marry into the Prince Zhou's Mansion with Prince Zhou's consort, who had been engaged to him.That was to say, on Prince Zhou's wedding day, he would marry five ladies in total: one legal wife, two consorts, and two concubines.On the wedding day, Prince Zhou could feel free to spend the wedding night with any bride. He didn't need to do everything according to the predetermined schedule: consorts and concubines should marry into the mansion one month after the legal wife moved to the mansion.The legal wife, consorts, and concubines would marry together. It would be a crowning humiliation for the legal wife.Later on, the royal family would even recognize the status of the eldest son of a concubine. The Emperor gave Infanta Yuan'an a hard slap in the face for what had happened. Even
"Did Shao Yanru die because of an acute disease?"The moment Shao Wanru heard the news, she doubted it. How could she believe it? Who was Shao Yanru? How could a person like her die of an emergency?Whether others believed it or not, she didn't.In Shao Wanru's previous life, Shao Yanru had also entered the Palace as a favorite consort. Compared with the current situation, she had to face more enemies who were more brutal. Even so, she had enjoyed a comfortable and privileged life."Is it because of me that her fate changed?" Anyway, Shao Wanru did not believe this news."My Lady, His Highness asked if you were ready?" Yujie came in and reported. They were going to the Palace.With a nod, Shao Wanru stood up. She had dressed up and waited for Chu Liuchen from the outer court.Together, they entered the Palace through the side door, heading straight for Empress Dowager's Palace of Benevo
Consort of Virtue had asked Shao Wanru to deal with Shao Yanru's matter.Shao Wanru was now the only capable person handling things for the Marquis Xing's Mansion. As Consort of Virtue had ordered, Shao Wanru had to go to Shao Yanru's residence and see if there was anything that needed to be packed up.She asked a palace maid to lead the way for Shao Wanru.The courtyard was very remote. They made a long detour to get there.The palace maid left after taking Shao Wanru to Shao Yanru's place.The door stood ajar. There was no trace of vitality in it. Qing'er stepped forward to push the door open. Then, they found someone packing up in the corridor. When the person saw Shao Wanru coming in, her eyes turned red. It was Shao Yanru's maid, Mo Yan."Greetings, Your Highness!" After putting down the things in her hands, Mo Yan stepped forward, bowed, and knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, my First Miss..
This simple candlestick was the only one here. Like this empty room, it was inconspicuous."This... Let me take this candlestick. When First Miss was still alive, the room was lit by this one light only. This candlestick was not very big. I want to take it out and put it before First Miss's memorial tablet as an offering to her. It can be saved as a keepsake for those miserable days." Mo Yan was a little uneasy at first. She looked at the candlestick and Shao Wanru's face. When ensuring that her expression was normal, she said."You can get up first!" Shao Wanru said.Mo Yan didn't refuse this time. She rose to her feet, patted the dust off her knees, and walked up to serve Shao Wanru. In this position, she happened to block the candlestick, so Shao Wanru couldn't see it after sitting down."Bring me this candlestick, and let me have a look!" Shao Wanru suddenly ordered.Mo Yan was so scared that she trembled, a
"What is it?" Shao Wanru's eyes fell on a small piece of jade before her. It looked like a token. The fruit was made of blue jade, while yellow jade was the base. It should have been like a fruit, but this token looked like a flattened fruit. At first glance, it seemed an authenticating object of the inner court.Of course, it couldn't be a real authenticating object. Instead, the word "token" appeared in Shao Wanru's mind."This token will be yours from now on!" Qin Yiyan looked at the token on the table, feeling reluctant to part with it. Her nose twitched, and she felt like crying. "This token should be mine!"Shao Wanru did not expect it to be an actual token and couldn't help laughing in surprise. Entirely at ease, she reached to take it and played with it carefully."You accepted it for real?" Qin Yiyan was slightly annoyed because Shao Wanru took it over casually and didn't treat such a valuable thing seriously. She n
"Playing dead... Hide well?" The man's calm voice dropped to a whisper. Somehow, the woman heard it feel her heart palpitate a little."Yes, I hide very well. It'll be fine. No one sees me." The woman's voice was excessively soft and charming, with obvious attachment and coquetry."Then hurry up and leave. Don't... don't let others find it out!""I see... When will you come to see me? It's inconvenient to talk here.""I'll be here tomorrow night... Don't worry... Be careful." After saying that, the man turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, he heard a slight noise behind him. When he saw a pair of panicked and beautiful eyes behind the bushes, his heart skipped a beat.Seeing he had discovered her, the woman behind the shrubs turned around and ran.She didn't dare to look back for fear that she would die. Prince Yue and Zhaoyi Shao were standing behind the tree shadows, and they looked like
Mingqiu Nun and Qi Jue, two top-notch doctors, seldom met each other. Of course, this was mainly because Mingqiu Nun felt reluctant to see Qi Jue.Even in the Prince Chen's Mansion, Mingqiu Nun would avoid Qi Jue, but it was often her wishful thinking. Qi Jue would fall into an unusual state every time she came — he was no longer a mysterious master of superior attainments. Like any other ordinary foolish man, he had every intention of getting closer to Mingqiu Nun and didn't care about being treated coldly by her.Losing face was nothing to him. Qi Jue himself had said the so-called dignity of man was superficial. As long as Mingqiu Nun was happy, he was willing to let her step on his pride.This was the first time that Mingqiu Nun did not avoid Qi Jue. They sat together, and Shao Wanru was between them.There was a partly burnt candle between the two of them. It was the one from the Palace."Mingqiu Nun, what
"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
