"Greetings, Your Highness," Madam Wen said with a smile.
Shao Wanru raised her hand slightly and said with an extraordinary bearing, "There's no need to stand on ceremony, Madam Wen!"
"Did you happen to come to Huaguang Temple today?" Madam Wen asked with a smile.
"I came here with my Imperial Grandmother and Her Majesty," Shao Wanru said.
Empress Dowager did not want to disturb others. This time, she traveled lightly and did not make her trip public. Only a few people knew about it.
"Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is also here. Where is she now?" Madam Wen said. Since Empress Dowager was here, she had to visit her.
"Imperial Grandmother has just fallen asleep. She may not be energetic enough to see you now." Shao Wanru reminded her with a smile.
"Then I'll go to see them later." Madam Wen nodded with a smile and looked at Shao Wanru kindly. She found that Princess Chen was a kind and
Qing'er stepped forward to stand in front of Shao Wanru and asked, "Who are you?"The prince had specially instructed her to protect the princess. There had been a lot of trouble recently, and she was afraid that her master would get into trouble.The old maid panicked and said hurriedly, "Madam... Madam Wen fainted from the fall." She held her legs and couldn't get up for a while."Madam Wen?" Shao Wanru rolled her watery eyes slightly. The old maid seemed to be standing behind Madam Wen just now."She tripped when she walked just now. I need to go down the mountain to get a doctor for her." The old maid finally came to her senses and stood up with the help of the tree beside her. She recognized that the person in front of her was Princess Chen just now, so she turned around. Unexpectedly, her legs went limp and she fell.Shao Wanru glanced at the old maid and asked, "How... did Madam Wen feel after falling?"
After getting the news, Wen Xichi rushed to Huaguang Temple while send a letter to Prime Minister Wen.He came here on a horse at a high speed, but someone was faster than him. Especially when he saw that the road in front of him was jammed by someone's carriage, Wen Xichi had to pull the reins.Prince Chen's carriage was almost twice as wide as an ordinary carriage. He was now lying sideways in the carriage leisurely, and the speed of the carriage was not slow.But even so, Wen Xichi was still anxious. Being stuck at the back, he couldn't wait, so he had to take a few steps forward to catch up with the guard behind the carriage. He cupped his hands to salute the guard and said, "Please report to His Highness Prince Chen that Wen Xichi asks to see him."Wen Xichi had extraordinary strength, and his father was the Prime Minister. The guard didn't dare to neglect him and immediately went to report.After a while,
Doctor Qiu had always been the busiest doctor. He worked from the Mansion of the Prime Minister to Marquis Xing's Mansion, and then to Prince Zhou's Mansion before he finally entered the Imperial Palace. However, he didn't do well in the Palace.On the one hand, there were too many rules in the Palace, which made him very uncomfortable. On the other hand, the imperial physicians in the Palace did not like him very much.The imperial physicians had their own systems, and the doctors who newly entered the Palace would also become imperial physicians. Only Doctor Qiu was different. He was sent by Prince Zhou to help nurse the Empress. He was different from those doctors who had entered the Palace in the past. No matter why those doctors entered the Palace, they would inevitably be included in the branch of imperial physicians.When Prince Zhou sent Doctor Qiu to the Palace, the former once said that Doctor Qiu would only stay there for a pe
After visiting the Empress Dowager, Chu Liuchen took Shao Wanru to the back mountain.The scenery in the back mountain was good, especially in the purple bamboo forest where there were not many people. Not everyone could come here.Chu Liuchen held Shao Wanru's hand, and the two of them rolled down their wide sleeves. Even so, Shao Wanru still felt a little embarrassed, and her watery eyes looked a little shy.Xiao Xuanzi and Yujie stayed far away from them and did not disturb their peace.The sound of falling leaves came from under one's feet. It was not loud, but it was peaceful.After a long while, Shao Wanru said softly, "Gu Xishu made such a scene today, and Madam Wen is more and more obedient to her now. E'niang should be a favorite in front of her now."Chu Liuchen nodded and said sarcastically, "Madam Wen trusts her niece very much."Did she trust her niece too much? Shao Wanru
E'niang didn't expect her plan to go so smoothly. It was so smooth that she couldn't believe it.The news that Madam Wen had fallen somehow got out. When the madams from aristocratic families, who had come up the mountain to offer incense, heard the news, they all came to visit Madam Wen.The two Prime Ministers in the imperial court, whether Prime Minister Wen or Prime Minister Zhang, were both the people those madams wanted to curry favor with. In the past, when they were in Prime Minister's Mansions, they might not get the chance to see the Prime Ministers or their madams. Now it was such a coincidence. Any madam who had a rather powerful background wanted to take the opportunity of visiting Madam Wen to get herself known. Maybe it would be a great chance for her husband or son to get promoted.For a time, Madam Wen's incense room was particularly lively.Many madams, who had only met Madam Wen once, also came over. They
"What's this?" Shao Wanru looked at the thing in front of her in astonishment and didn't recognize it for a while.It was a small box, and the thing in the box was even smaller, occupying half of the box. If it weren't for the clear dents on the bottom of the box, she couldn't tell that the thing in the box was missing half."What's this?" Shao Wanru tilted her head and looked at the thing, but she still didn't recognize it. She turned to look at Chu Liuchen, who was standing by the window.Chu Liuchen stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. Shao Wanru couldn't see his face clearly, but she inexplicably felt that he was in a very depressed mood.After thinking about it, she took two steps forward, put her arms around his waist behind him, and put her face on his back. "If you don't want it, return it!"She thought that he probably didn't want anything from Consort Lan."She is sure that
"Old Madam wants Madam Lu to marry into the family and manage the family affairs. The mansion is in chaos, and it can't stay this way. After all, the First Young Madam is a junior, so it's not convenient for her to and can't manage some things." Nanny Yu was uneasy and whispered after receiving Shao Jing's hint."Madam Lu?" Shao Wanru raised her eyebrows."She is the daughter of an imperial censor. She has been with Marquis for so many years. Old Madam means that pains also count, even without gains. Besides, she has a daughter. We can't keep the Young Madams of Marquis Xing's Mansion outside the mansion," Nanny Yu explained."Madam Lu is Lu E'niang, right?" Shao Wanru sneered in her heart. Shao Jing and Shao Yanru really couldn't stay calm anymore. Madam Jiang's coffin was kept in a temporary shelter before burial, and now E'niang was about to marry into the mansion. Shao Wanru wondered if Madam Jiang knew about this, whether she would
The family elders looked at each other, not saying a word.If it were an ordinary junior, they would definitely scold them without Shao Jing saying anything. However, it was Princess Chen, so no one dared to offend her.Shao Wanru looked at Shao Jing's gloomy face, smiled slightly, and answered lightly, "Second Uncle, Third Aunt is in poor health. We can't go against her will. It's indeed inappropriate for Madam Lu to marry into the mansion at this time. If it weren't for... in fact, I also wish to improve the reputation of Marquis Xing's Mansion."The third branch could separate from the family, but the first branch and the second branch couldn't.Shao Jing still possessed the title of nobility of the mansion, but the title of heir of Duke Xing was held by the first branch, which meant that the first branch and the second branch couldn't separate from the family."Do you mean that the first branch also needs to
"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
