"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
Yujie lifted the curtain and looked out. She saw Xiao Xuanzi running out of breath while calling at the corridor. He was followed by a servant dressed as a regular cart driver. Seeing the carriage stopped, Xiao Xuanzi ran to Qin Wanru after a few steps. "Second Miss... Let... me go with you. I'll take the carriage of our mansion... and then bring the cart driver back!" He was talking about bringing the cart driver guarded by Qin's Mansion to Prince Chen's Mansion. Qin Wanru had forgotten it in discomposure. The carriage set off again, followed by the small carriage for the servants of Prince Chen's Mansion. The two carriages went out of the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion one after the other. The chief guard, who stood in front of Prince Chen's Mansion, wanted to go forward and have a check, but was pulled by a guard behind him. After the guard whispered a few words in the ear of the chief guard, the chief guard stopped going for
Qin Wanru nodded and followed Shui Ruolan with a smile. They walked together on the small path in the courtyard, followed closely by two girl servants. "Wanru, thank you!" After taking two steps, Shui Ruolan said softly. "Mother, you are being too polite. I am still young, and need to rely on mother. I don't want to see anything happen to you. I will definitely protect you!" Qin Wanru's long eyelashes shivered twice, leaving the irregular shadow on her white face. She slightly lifted her small pink lips. She was such a pretty and pitiful child. Why was Madam Di reluctant to let go of such a pretty and delicate girl! Thinking of her life experience, Shui Ruolan could not help but sigh lightly. She wanted to tell her something, but she didn't know much about it. If she made a wrong guess, she didn't know if she would mislead the child. After all, she was just a little child. Moving her mouth, she decided not to say
"Madam Di?" asked Shui Ruolan confusingly, feeling uneasy. She also wanted to ask somebody to take charge of the housekeeping. However, just like what Qin Wanru concerned, she dared not ask Madam Di for help. She still remembered that Madam Di plotted against her that day in the General's Mansion and even sent drunk Qin Huaiyong to her bedroom. She knew that if Madam Di took charge of the business in this mansion, she would go further and far worse. She dared not do that. "Absolutely no!" answered Qin Wanru directly, shaking her head slightly. Madam Di was definitely not a good candidate. Shui Ruolan raised another possibility, "Then how about Aunt Xu or Aunt Dong?" Qin Huaiyong only had two concubines who were servant girls before. When Madam Di married Qin Huaiyong, she promoted them according to the family rules in the mansion. After that, they were both well behaved. "Mother... We can try Aunt Xu first. Compared with Aunt D
Seeing her master running outside, Qi Rongzhi's servant girl who was also caught before got rid of the two servants and followed her master quickly. Then came another silence all of sudden. Qin Wanru's eyes flashed with a gleam of mercilessness. Without Qi Rongzhi, Madam Di could not play her cards. Even so, Qin Wanru would not take lightly. "Wanru, look what you've done! You beat off Qi Rongzhi. If your father asks about it, you will have to explain to him!" said Madam Di angrily. She immediately blamed Qin Wanru for what happened today. "Madam, the cause is that sister had a fight with Lady Qi. As you said, I should have helped Lady Qi but not my sister," answered Qin Wanru innocently, with her beautiful eyes blinking. "Then you should not slap her!" shouted Qin Yuru, helping her mother. She now realized the bad result. Being afraid, she tried to blame Qin Wanru for everything just like what her mother did.
It was the best moment for them to leave. Taking a deep breath, Qin Wanru finally calmed down. She lowered her eyes and it seemed that she didn't want to pursue any more and didn't want to hear Madam Di's lie. She said to Shui Ruolan and headed for the door. Shui Ruolan seemed confounded a moment, then stood up quickly, and followed Qin Wanru. "Ah..." Madam Di said with her face turning pale. She wanted to order her servants to stop Shui Ruolan but Nanny Zhou stopped her first and warned in low voice. "Madam, don't act rashly!" Looking at the mob scene in the room, Nanny Zhou waved her hand and then other servants left one by one, only leaving Madam Di and Nanny Zhou in the room. "But, but what a good chance..." said Madam Di. Setting her eyes on Shui Ruolan's receding figure, Madam Di tugged her handkerchief in her hand fiercely, gnashed her teeth, and said, "If this b*tch has a son, I would be looked down upon b
"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
