"Then... then what about after that..." Old Madam was at a loss. Her mouth looked even more crooked. One of her eyes looked big and the other small.
Shao Jing was upset at the moment, so he didn't notice these details.
After thinking for a while, he said, "After that, Madam Jiang knows that Ru'er is dead, and I want to marry a secondary legal wife. She can't stand the blow and has made such a big scene. It's because she hates me that she dares to say anything. Later, after being persuaded, she comes to her senses and commits suicide out of shame."
Old Madam's hands trembled. She had always been cruel, but Madam Jiang was her beloved daughter-in-law, so she couldn't bear it for a while.
Her fingers twitched twice, and then she asked cautiously, "Not everyone can enter the prison of the Ministry of Justice at will."
When Wang Shengxue was in trouble before, they could do nothing to help him.
"Mother,
"Mother, there's nothing Father can do about it. He doesn't have much power. He was afraid that you would be sad and irritated by the death of my sister, so he asked the servants to block the news. As for what happened to me, it's really not a big deal," Shao Hua'an said gently.From Nanny Yu's point of view, he looked exactly the same as Marquis Xing, which made her inexplicably scared."Since it's not a big deal, why can't he protect you?" Madam Jiang said angrily.Shao Hua'an reached out to touch his head and said, "Mother, how did you suddenly know this news? Did Fifth Sister tell you?""Shao Wanru told me. She told me that Ru'er was dead. Why is Ru'er dead but not her? Ru'er is obviously more outstanding and better than her." Speaking of Shao Yanru, Madam Jiang burst into tears."Mother, don't cry. Did anyone see Fifth Sister come to see you?" Shao Hua'an comforted her."How would I know if any
The whole court was shocked that Madam Jiang, the Madam of Marquis Xing, had died in the Ministry of Justice.Some officials who got the news came to the Ministry of Justice to inquire about this matter one by one. She merely went there to make a statement. How could such a shocking thing happen? No one could believe it.It was unknown whether someone had intervened in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice or Madam Jiang had really committed suicide.After collecting the news, the minister of the Ministry of Justice went to the Palace with Wen Xichi, knelt in front of the Emperor, and asked for forgiveness in the Imperial Study.The Emperor looked at the memorial in front of him with a livid face and was very angry. Such a small matter had caused a great disturbance. After he read the memorial, he threw it down."Tell me, what happened? Can't you handle such a small matter well in the Ministry of Justice? How c
"Shao Jing has a backer, and what happened to Shao Jiang happened more than a decade ago. At that time, my son was still young, and my imperial concubines were not that powerful. The only man who could do that is my younger brother, Prince Cheng. Is Shao Jing Prince Cheng's man?" The Emperor clenched his fists slowly. "If that is the case, he deserves to die.""Uncle the Emperor, don't get angry. It won't be good for your health. When I came in just now, I saw Prime Minister Zhang and the minister of the Ministry of Justice going out. Prime Minister Zhang has always been capable, so he should be able to find out the truth soon. I'm here to report another thing today." Chu Liuchen stood up and bowed again. Then, he took out a memorial from his wide sleeve and presented it."I've checked it out and found out these things. Please take a look."Derong stepped forward, took the memorial from Chu Liuchen, presented it to the Emperor, and opene
The fire in Commandery Prince Qing's Mansion was put out, and Chu Qing was only slightly injured, not seriously injured. He had inexplicably suffered such an unexpected disaster. He suppressed his anger and overturned a table with hatred. He glared at the guard in front of him and said, "What the hell happened? Who did this?""Your Highness, this is very strange. I don't know what happened either. Those people mixed in with the neighbors who put out the fire. They were wearing ordinary clothes. When they entered the mansion, they took off their clothes and searched the rooms one by one. It seemed that they were looking for something. They were coming for our mansion."The guard reported carefully."They were coming for me?" Chu Qing's face was livid. His secrets could not be revealed. Who suspected him?When he thought of this, his face darkened. Who discovered his secrets?The Emperor? It was impossible. If it
The junior official of the Ministry of Justice disappeared in an alley. At that time, a carriage entered that area, and then it stopped at the back gate of Commandery Prince Qing's Mansion. Also, someone else was seen in the alley.That night, Commandery Prince Qing's Mansion was on fire, and some men in black invaded it. Many people saw that Commandery Prince Qing was injured. Early in the morning, Chu Qing knelt in the hall and cried to the Emperor.He said that he didn't know who he had offended, and that person had sent so many people to assassinate him. Chu Qing ask the Emperor to uphold justice for him.The Emperor was furious and asked the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court to investigate the case together. Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Wen were also reprimanded. The officials of the six ministries looked timid like a group of quails, for fear that the Emperor would call their names.Standing in front
Prime Minister Wen walked out of the platform, bowed to the Emperor, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate Marquis Xing!""Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate Marquis Xing!""Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate Marquis Xing!"One by one, officials came out from the platform and bowed to the Emperor. If what Madam Jiang said was not true, Shao Jing would not be afraid of being investigated. If it was true, the consequences of this matter would be too serious, and he would definitely be severely punished."Your Majesty, we do need to find out the truth. I was being stupid," Prime Minister Zhang said with shame on his face. After that, he bowed deeply to Chu Liuchen and said, "Your Highness, I didn't pay attention to it before, so I neglected it.""Prime Minister Zhang, you're too courteous!" Chu Liuchen smiled slightly and didn't take it seriously.Chu Liuyue
Chu Qing was scolded for no reason. In the end, he didn't know what had happened. Finally, he looked at the two people who were leaving slowly and talking with each other with a trace of gloom across his eyes.Both Chu Liuyue and Prince Cheng rejected him. He was the one who should inherit the throne the most. Why did they look down on him as if he were a beggar?One day, he would show them who was the noblest one and who would have the last laugh.When Chu Qing returned to his mansion, the officials of the Ministry of Justice were interrogating some servants in the mansion. The Ministry of Justice had informed him about this before. Seeing that the leader was Wen Xichi, Chu Qing calmed down, walked over with a smile, and said to him with cupped fists, "Greetings, Lord Wen.""Greetings, Your Highness." Wen Xichi stood up and bowed to him."Have you found anything?" Chu Qing asked in a gentle voice. He had little
This was a remote corner of Commandery Prince Qing's Mansion. Few people came here in normal times. There was originally a side door in this place. Later, Consort Dowager Qing thought that it might cause possible danger and asked her servants to seal the place, so no one came here again.The officers of the Ministry of Justice had come to the mansion to investigate today and had gone to a lot of places. They had also checked this place before but found nothing unusual about it.After the investigation, they sent Wen Xichi over for interrogation.Chu Qing came to him. Wen Xichi said that he hadn't figured out some things and asked his deputy to perform another investigation. Chu Qing was afraid that there would be misunderstandings, so he helped lead the way in person. Therefore, the place was investigated again. At present, the rest of the people of the Ministry of Justice had followed Chu Qing to other places. After the second investiga
"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
