Nanny Wei covered her chest tightly and curled up motionlessly, for fear that people outside the curtain would see her.
She had come into the room to get a pastry box, but when she heard the conversation in the room, she immediately stopped. She felt dizzy and her face turned pale. Something big had happened in Marquis Xing's Mansion, and she had to find a way to tell her nephew so that he would not get involved in it. She had heard from her nephew before that he seemed to have a good relationship with Marquis Xing.
The conversation was still going on. The people who spoke were doing chitchats and no longer talked about the affairs of Marquis Xing's Mansion. Nanny Wei pressed her chest hard to suppress the shock, carefully turned around, and went back inside the curtain. After calming herself down for a long time, she walked out with a relaxed look and light steps.
After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager looked tired.
He was in the Ministry of Justice. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. After binding him, the guards of the Ministry of Justice took him into a room on the side.Inside the room, the minister of the Ministry of Justice was sitting there, as well as two deputy ministers and Wen Xichi.Since the ministers of the Ministry of Justice were there, this wouldn't be a simple interrogation.Although the minister of the Ministry of Justice and two deputy ministers were there, Wen Xichi acted as the chief judge. He looked at Shao Jing coldly and asked straightforwardly, "Marquis Xing, more than a decade ago, when your brother died, what did you do at the border? As you said before, you had been in the capital city at that time and said that someone would testify for you."Shao Jing was shocked and his face changed slightly, but he reacted instantly. Taking a deep breath, he kept his slightly changed face just now and said
"Wh-what?" Shao Jing stammered.Wen Xichi nodded. An official stepped forward, took an item from above, and waved it in front of Shao Jing. Looking at this silk-encrusted jade pendant, Shao Jing couldn't react in time.The jade pendant looked very ordinary and insignificant."This jade pendant belongs to you, right?" Wen Xichi asked.Shao Jing subconsciously wanted to say no, but he saw the letter "Lan" and a small cluster of orchids at the corner of the jade pendant. He seemed to be frozen. He opened his mouth in shock, but couldn't say a word, and his mind went blank."Orchids? Lan. Lady Lan? Lady Lan the once famous prostitute?"Wen Xichi said slowly from above, "This jade pendant contains the name of Lady Lan, a famous prostitute in the capital. You gave it to this famous prostitute. There is the symbol of Marquis Xing's Mansion on the back of the jade pendant. You must have fallen in love with
"What should we do?""Let's wait and see," Jieyan said."We won't help him?" Prince Cheng frowned. It happened so suddenly that he didn't know how to deal with it for a while."No!" Jieyan shook his head and said meaningfully, "Your Highness, you should be more careful at this time."Prince Cheng understood the meaning of Jieyan. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I know what to do."Jieyan reminded him that it was not only about Shao Jing but also about Shao Yanru. Prince Cheng said, "If there is any news about Shao Yanru, send her to Prince Zhou's Mansion."Prince Cheng had asked Shao Yanru to contact Prince Zhou in private before."Send her to Prince Zhou's Mansion? It's not the right time now, is it?" Jieyan felt that no one would take Shao Yanru in at this time."We'll see what she can do!" Prince Cheng sneered. He had accepted this woman for the sake of
"Mother, do you know how my sister died?" Wen Xichi said with a smile, but his smile made Gu Xishu tremble. Her face was pale and she trembled all over. What he was talking about was a secret that she could never tell others, and it was also the reason why she had been helping Shao Yanru before.No matter what Shao Yanru asked her to do, she would agree because of this unspeakable secret.Madam Wen obviously felt the chill in the atmosphere. She looked at Wen Xichi and then at Gu Xishu, who was pale and trembling, and her face changed greatly. "What... what happened?"The panic and fear in the atmosphere seemed contagious and spread to Madam Wen along with Gu Xishu.Wen Xichi smiled and said with distress, "Mother, she pushed my sister into the river and drown her. She did it to get your love. The woman, whom you have been taking care of for so many years, is simply a venomous snake. You shouldn't have listened to her." In f
"Father... Father..." Wen Shian still wanted to say something but was directly dragged away by two guards.Prime Minister Wen looked at Gu Xishu behind him. Of course, he believed what Wen Xichi said. The officials of the Ministry of Justice couldn't make up evidence at will. Moreover, the case of E'niang had nothing to do with the Mansion of the Prime Minister at first, but now the mansion was involved because of Gu Xishu. There had to be a reason for this.It was not only because of the Ministry of Justice but also because of some small details at that time. After his daughter's death, Prime Minister Wen once suspected Gu Xishu. Her behavior and time at that time were very suspicious. But later, he thought that she was young, so it couldn't be her fault. Maybe his daughter died because she had been careless.After that, Gu Xishu carefully served Madam Wen and acted like her own daughter, which made Prime Minister Wen no longer think th
The collapse of Marquis Xing's Mansion happened almost overnight. No one had expected that Shao Jing, Marquis Xing, would snatch the title from his eldest brother.He had killed his eldest brother and sister-in-law and had colluded with Madam Jiang to plot against his niece and nephew.Such a thing was simply shocking.A lot of things happened to Marquis Xing's Mansion. Previously, its reputation had been ruined. Now Shao Jing was taken to the Ministry of Justice. Many people didn't take it seriously. No one had expected that a mistress could get involved in such a big thing and make the case that was hidden many years ago be investigated once again.The whole capital city was in an uproar, and the Emperor was furious. Shao Jing, who had such a vicious character, would be sentenced to death directly in front of the public three days later.The second branch of Marquis Xing's Mansion was expelled from the mansion
"It seems that my mother is still alive!" Shao Wanru looked up at Chu Liuchen with red eyes and blurted out. How could she cover it up?Originally, she wanted to say it slower and euphemistically. After all, it was just her guess. But when she said it, her voice trembled unconsciously."Is this real?"At this moment, I feel like I'm in a dream. Is this real? In fact, even I don't know that."Chu Liuchen looked serious and asked, "Are you sure?" It was a big deal. Shao Jing only confessed that he killed his elder brother at the Ministry of Justice but did not mention Infanta Qinghua. Everyone thought that Infanta Qinghua was dead.Shao Wanru grabbed Chu Liuchen by the sleeve and said while trembling all over, "Do you still remember what Doctor Qiu said?" The chill spread from her heart and drenched her.Chu Liuchen nodded and said with pity in his eyes, "Yes. Shao Yanru faked her death and came out o
The strong old maid was indeed Nanny Xiu. She was the old maid of Marquis Xing's Mansion and Shao Jing's trusted servant. Shao Jing had done her a favor. When her only son fought with others outside and had difficulty walking, it was Shao Jing who helped her treat his son's legs. After her son died, she served Shao Jing wholeheartedly.After Infanta Qinghua faked her death, Nanny Xiu served her and took her to the residence of E'niang.E'niang had left the mansion and become Shao Jing's mistress. She lived in an inconspicuous house in the capital city. Every time Shao Jing came by, he was very careful. He came there in different carriages and even changed his clothes. This was also the reason why Madam Jiang had never found out about it.Shao Jing was very cautious. It was not only about his mistress but also about Infanta Qinghua.As a former servant girl of Infanta Qinghua, E'niang actually meant to help guard and serve he
"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
