"Huai, is the thing really related to the Marquis of Fengyang?" In the room lit up by candlelight, Old Grandma had not slept yet, frowning and sitting in the chair.
"Yes, the thing is now in the hands of the Marquis of Fengyang, and the Ministry of Personnel cannot give me any tasks temporarily." Qin Huaiyong remained silent for a moment, his eyes looking very tired.
Being a newcomer in the capital, he was not familiar with everything yet. The most annoying part was that he had arrived in the capital as ordered, but the specific tasks for him had not been decided yet. It was said that his work arrangement was being reviewed by the Marquis of Fengyang. As for how long it would take, it was hard to tell.
"So, you will have to follow Mrs. Qin to attend the banquet of the Marquises' Mansion of Fengyang?" Old Grandma was a wise woman, and she became clear about his son's idea after hearing what he said.
"Mother, now this is my only
"Madam, you still remember the Princess of Duke Yangqu, don't you? You know it was the Princess of Duke Yangqu who sent father the cart driver who intended to kidnap Miss Luo, don't you?" said Qin Wanru. She looked up at Madam Di directly. "The Princess of Duke Yangqu?" Madam Di's hand on the table trembled and the look on her face hardened. She had heard of the reputation of the Princess of Duke Yangqu when she was in the capital city. In a cold sweat, she knew this princess was not a woman to be trifled with. "Does it really concern me?" When in Jiangzhou, she only knew that the cart driver kidnapped the wrong person and it was a powerful Madam who sent the person to Qin Huaiyong. However, she had never recognized it was the Princess of Duke Yangqu from beginning to end. "When the Princess of Duke Yangqu saw me, she looked very unhappy, and asked about you especially. She also said she was eagerly looking forward to a great m
Nanny Zhou's news came quickly, and the cart driver disappeared on the first day of his arrival in the capital. It was said that many people had been tied up at that time, but only the cart driver disappeared. And he was not among those witnesses who were later sent to Duke Yong's Mansion. It seemed that he suddenly disappeared when he entered in the capital. Madam Di became really panicked. If this person was controlled by Qin Huaiyong, it would be okay. However, if he fell into the hands of other vicious people, it could be really troublesome. She had to find him. Qin Wanru had never thought of meeting Qi Rongzhi on the way. Her heart jumped slightly, seeing that the direction the latter was heading was clearly in Qin Yuru's direction. "Qin Wanru, your clothes are so ugly and short that I really can't wear them. Do they fit you well?" Qi Rongzhi stopped and waited for Qin Wanru to come. She was smiling. The word
The so-called Southern Palace, in fact, was also in the Imperial Palace, but it was not officially inside there. Actually, it lay to the south of the Imperial Palace and was a large mansion, or a large garden, closely adjacent to the Imperial Palace. As far as its status was concerned, it was far from the Eastern Palace. From the interior of the Imperial Palace, one could also enter the Southern Palace. In fact, the Southern Palace in the past was a quiet courtyard for summer vacations and leisure. As long as Chu Liuchen was still small but dethroned as the prince, he moved into the Southern Palace. Therefore, a sign was hung there that said Prince Chen's Mansion. In the last life, the sign of Prince Chen's Mansion was removed, and the title of Southern Palace was restored. In this life, although people all knew that it was now renamed Prince Chen's Mansion, many people in private still called it the Southern Palace. Because of
"Our Miss is the Second Miss of the Qin's Mansion!" Yujie answered and helped Qin Wanru get down from the carriage. With the help of the cart driver of the other carriage, their horse finally got back on the road and was stepping back carefully. They hadn't been in the alley for a long time, so they would be able to retreat quickly. Qin Wanru was in front of her own carriage, and it had retreated to the entrance of the lane. After she got in, Qin Wanru did not dare to let the cart driver go down the lane again. So she went forward to take a look. Just now, she saw that the lane was deep. It went on a long way and could make a carriage coming the other way crash. It was better to go a little farther. The cart driver obeyed and rushed forward. Then the blocked carriage was able to get out of the lane. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the lane and the curtain was lifted slightly. The old woman leaned out and looked outside.
"I do have something to beg you, childe!" Qin Wanru decided to tell him the truth. It was better to tell the truth in front of him. "What is it? Tell me, but I cannot guarantee that I will surely help you!" Chu Liuchen asked with interest, and his voice was very sweet. But what he said was not very pleasant to hear. Fortunately, Qin Wanru knew in her heart that he was supposed to be like this, so she didn't feel very uncomfortable. It would be strange if he were willing to help others. Qin Wanru calmed down and carefully asked, "I have a witness. Can I lock him up here?" Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and snorted. There was a mocking glow in his eyes. He said rudely, "Why would you lock your witness up in my mansion?" His voice was still gentle and pleasant, but what he said hit Qin Wanru so hard that her face turned red. She was glad that no other people were there, otherwise she would be embarrass
The room was quiet, almost soundlessly. Qin Wanru sat behind the screen, carefully and calmly, with the paper she just wrote in her hand. Before she gave it to Chu Liuchen, footsteps outside suddenly approached. With Xiao Xuanzi's help, she took cover in the inner room quickly. When she got into the room, she suddenly realized that she should left early but not hid here. Well now, she could go nowhere in the inner room. "Someone is coming, but why there is nobody talking outside?" "What? Nothing to say when coming to my Southern Palace? If so, why did you just pretend to be friendly with me in front of uncle?" said Chu Liuchen. His slight cough broke the silence in the room, making his long white eyelashes shake. Covering with his heavy fur coat, he leaned back in his wide chair, with a kind smile in his face. His smile was extremely beautiful, but also very pale, making him seem weak. He leaned on t
Chu Liuchen smiled and answered, "Well, don't be nervous. I just want some people from you. If you agree, then I will pretend that nothing has happened today." "Who?" asked Chu Liuyue. With heart-rate quickening suddenly, he got a bad feeling. Staring at Chu Liuyue, Chu Liuchen said slowly, "Shao Yanru, the young lady of Duke Xing Mansion!" Qin Wanru held the paper in her hand and closed her eyes tightly. Some fuzzy pictures flashed upon her mind, in which there was an elegant figure which belonged to a female, always being with Qin Wanru. A hint of chill rose from the bottom of her heart. Shao Yanru, the young lady of Duke Xing Mansion, the Zhaoyi Shao who plotted against the king with Chu Liuyue and the vicious woman who strangled sixth Prince in previous life, had long since aligned with Chu Liuyue. However, the concealment of their alignment was nearly perfect. She could not figure out their rela
The room was empty! How could a person just vanish in a blink of an eye? Qin Wanru came out from behind the screen, walked to the chair in front of which Chu Liuchen had just stood and walked around it several times. At the moment, she really panicked. There was only such a spot in the room, which was very clear at a glance, but where was Prince Chen, who had got the upper hand in the playful conversation? "Come here!" She suddenly heard Chu Liuchen's voice from behind. Qin Wanru was shocked. She turned around hurriedly, but did not find anyone. After looking around with suspicion, she finally fixed her eyes on the hanging curtain. "Come here quickly!" She heard the displeased voice again. This time, Qin Wanru saw it clearly. She immediately understood that the voice was actually from the curtain, but was shocked at the same time. Looking at the entire layout of the room, she didn't expect that he co
"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
