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
"A letter from Shao Jie'er?" Shao Wanru said with a frown and her long eyelashes fluttering twice, looking a little confused. Seeing that, Chu Liuchen couldn't help smiling. He reached out to hold her hand and continued walking forward. They had just finished lunch, and they only took Yujie and Xiao Xuanzi with them. Qing'er came to report at this time."My Lady, it's a letter from Miss Jie'er. Lord Wen sent it over on her behalf, saying that it's best if you can help her. Shao Jie'er knows something about what happened yesterday," Qing'er said."Shao Jie'er knows something about what happened yesterday?" Shao Wanru raised her eyebrows slightly. She was a little surprised, but she thought it was expected.After thinking about it, she didn't know what to say. She thought that Shao Jie'er deserved what she was suffering and didn't sympathize with her.Chu Liuchen gently pulled her fingers and said softly, "If you don't want to
Chu Liuchen looked down at Shao Wanru and saw two faint blushes on her fair and tender face. Not only her face but also her ears and neck were slightly flushed. Her cherry lips appeared more and more beautiful and attractive, which made her delicate little face indescribably charming.His heart could not help beating faster. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her soft lips again.Shao Wanru's mind went blank. She felt as if her whole body was on fire. Her whole body was burning. She wanted to escape, but her delicate body was tightly hugged by him. He held her tightly as if he was going to break her slender waist. Her nose was full of his breath, which made her immersed in his heavy breathing.Shao Wanru was forced to raise her head and let him do whatever he wanted to her.Finally, Chu Liuchen couldn't stand it anymore. The girl in his arms seemed to be specially made for him, allowing him to do whatever he wanted
"Greetings, Your Highness." Shao Jie'er suppressed the fear in her heart and stepped forward to bow gracefully. Liuxiang still followed her closely.Chu Qing's cold gaze fell on Shao Jie'er, which made her nervous and terrified. "What does Chu Qing mean by looking at me like that? Did he discover something?""You've been in the mansion for some time, haven't you?" Chu Qing finally spoke."I have been in the mansion for several months." Shao Jie'er lowered her head and did not dare to have Chu Qing see the fear in her eyes."How have I been to you?" Chu Qing asked."Your Highness, you dote on me very much. When I was in Marquis Xing's Mansion, I was always ignored. Only after I came here did I know that I could be doted on," Shao Jie'er said.Since she sounded sincere, Chu Qing looked less gloomy. He pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Sit down!""It wouldn't be appropriate for me
"Greetings, Your Highness." After entering the room, Shao Jie'er stepped forward to bow to Consort Dowager Qing without looking sideways and then bowed to Shao Wanru beside her."Don't need to stand on ceremony, Second Sister. Please take a seat!" Shao Wanru said softly.Shao Jie'er looked up at Consort Dowager Qing, who was sitting in the middle."Princess Chen is so polite to you. Take a seat now, and let's chat." Consort Dowager Qing nodded with a gentle smile. A servant girl brought a stool over, and Shao Jie'er sat down sideways."Lady Consort Dowager, since Second Sister is here, she will come back to the mansion with me. Grandma's health is really..." Shao Wanru sighed softly and looked at Consort Dowager Qing."Of course, I should let Jie'er go, but how many days will she stay there?" Consort Dowager Qing asked gently."Uh... I'm really not sure. It depends on Grandma's condition. If she's d
"Nanny Yu, has Grandma taken any medicine?" In the room, Shao Jie'er helped Old Madam lie down and carefully tucked her in.Nanny Yu nodded and said, "Yes. Old Madam is in poor health and has been taking medicine.""Has she taken some tonics? Some good medicinal soup is actually better than medicine," Shao Jie'er said with concern."Well... Old Madam doesn't like medicinal soup very much!" Nanny Yu said helplessly."I have a prescription here. This medicinal soup is good for nourishing. Nanny Yu, please ask the kitchen to make one for Old Madam to have a try. Maybe it will work. Consort Dowager Qing has been using it before, and I think it works great for her." Shao Jie'er took out a prescription for a kind of medicinal soup from her arms and handed it to Nanny Yu."If it works, it will be great. Thank you, Second Miss," Nanny Yu said, turned around, and left with the prescription.Shao Jie'er looke
Shao Jie'er cried and said firmly while wiping away her tears, "Although such a thing happened to Grandma after I left, how can I leave now? I have to stay to serve Grandma. I'm not leaving until she gets better."Zhao Xiran was so angry that she almost blew up. "Does she mean that this only happened after she left? She's blaming me for not taking good care of Old Madam."She reached out to pull Shao Jie'er and continued to persuade her. "Second Sister..."Shao Jie'er shook off Zhao Xiran's hand and grabbed the table beside her tightly with the other hand. She grabbed the table so hard that it was pulled over. "If you insist on me going back, I will die here today."Zhao Xiran was so pissed that she gritted her teeth and didn't want to care about Shao Jie'er anymore. She turned to Shao Hua'an. "Hubby... what do you think of this matter?""Let Second Sister stay and take care of Grandma!" Shao Hua'an said with a
Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen didn't stay any longer in Marquis Xing's Mansion. After checking on Old Madam and asking about the imperial physician, they left Marquis Xing's Mansion and went back to Prince Chen's Mansion.They met the carriage of Commandery Prince Qing's Mansion at the gate. Judging from the style of the carriage, it was Chu Qing's carriage.Shao Wanru slowly put down the curtain in her hand and leaned back silently. After that, she was pulled into the arms of Chu Liuchen by the side."What's wrong?" Chu Liuchen asked with a trace of gentleness in his voice. Although Shao Wanru looked calm, he knew that she was upset."Old Madam had a stroke. Shao Jie'er made her angry," Shao Wanru said slowly. This was the news that Nanny Yu found an opportunity to send to her.It was expected and reasonable.It had been decided when she sent Shao Jie'er to Marquis Xing's Mansion back then.
Chu Qing came back from Marquis Xing's Mansion in a hurry and went straight to the courtyard of Consort Dowager Qing as soon as possible. When he sat down, he picked up the warm water on the table and gulped down half a cup before putting the cup down heavily."How did it go?" Consort Dowager Qing asked. There was no one else in the room except for her and her son."This bitch refused to come back and said that she needed to accompany the Old Madam of Marquis Xing, who had a stroke," Chu Qing said angrily. He had never expected that Shao Jie'er would stay in Marquis Xing's Mansion so decisively.Something had happened to the Old Madam of Marquis Xing's Mansion, which made it reasonable for Shao Jie'er to stay there. If he insisted on her coming back, it would be a little too much.Consort Dowager Qing said with a sneer, "I told you at the beginning that Shao Jie'er was not a good person, but later you were bewitched by her a
"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
