The things seized in Prince Zhou's Mansion shocked the whole capital.
A lot of weapons were found in the garden of Prince Zhou's Mansion, and all were sharpened. Apparently, they were used for rebellion. The ground had been trodden heavily for a long time. It could be seen that Prince Zhou had plotted on this matter long ago.
Moreover, Infanta Yuan'an also got involved in this matter because of the pair of phoenix hairpins seized from her room. In fact, Infanta Yuan'an knew something about it. Unlike what Ruiping Great Elder Princess cried and begged in front of the Palace gate, claiming that Infanta Yuan'an knew nothing about it. It was obvious that Infanta Yuan'an and Prince Zhou plotted it together.
Since Infanta Yuan'an was involved, what about Ruiping Great Elder Princess? The investigation about if Ruiping Great Elder Princess was also involved was immediately carried out in private. Various pieces of evidence were collected and ve
Chu Liuyue was called here in a hurry, and he did not know why. When he saw Chu Liuchen sitting upstairs lazily with gloomy eyes, Chu Liuyue was stunned.Usually, the "good brother" of his often put on a gentle smile on his face, which made Chu Liuyue feel disgusted. However, what was the situation now? Especially when Chu Liuyue saw Zhang Qilan standing on the side with a pale face, shivering, he felt something bad."What's going on? Why are you here?" Chu Liuyue strode to Zhang Qilan and asked with a frown."Your... Your Highness... I... I just happen to be here... It has nothing to do with me," Zhang Qilan said while wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Previously, Zhang Qilan was afraid, but she had been holding back and trying to deal with Chu Liuchen. Now when she saw Chu Liuyue, she couldn't hold back her tears and immediately shed tears with a grievance."Third Brother, what's going on? If your sister-in-law did any
"Your Highness, please wait!"Chu Liuchen stood still, turned his head, and saw Prime Minister Zhang running over with sweat all over his head. Unlike his behavior usually, Prime Minister Zhang, who had always been steady, looked panicked. Prime Minister Zhang entered the Palace gate from outside, lifting a corner of his robe. Apparently, he was chasing Chu Liuchen.Chu Liuchen thought, "It's been delayed a lot of time in the street. If Prime Minister Zhang is well-informed, he must have known something roughly. Now he tries to stop me at the gate of the Palace.""Your Highness, greetings!" Prime Minister Zhang ran up to Chu Liuchen, tidied up the robe in his hand, and bowed to Chu Liuchen."Prime Minister Zhang, you're welcome," Chu Liuchen said lightly with clear eyes."Your Highness, I heard that something happened to Princess Chen on the street ahead. Is she all right now?" Prime Minister Zhang got his breat
Chu Liuyue said in a fair and reasonable way, and even a trace of fault could not be found. Meanwhile, he looked natural and graceful, without any panic because Zhang Qilan was caught.In this way, Chu Liuyue not only distanced himself from this matter but also pushed Zhang Qilan out.Chu Liuchen slowly raised his eyelids and took a gloomy look at Chu Liuyue, without a word."Okay, then I'll send someone to investigate the people around Zhang Qilan and take all of them away," the Emperor said."It's all up to you, Father." Chu Liuyue nodded without any intention of disobeying. Of course, Chu Liuyue knew about the Changxing Grass, and he did have no idea where Zhang Qilan got the Changxing Grass. Was it given by Prime Minister Zhang? That was also impossible.Anyway, it was impossible for Prime Minister Zhang to have the Changxing Grass. Even if he had it, he couldn't have given such an important thing to Zhang Q
"Infanta Yuan'an again?" Shao Wanru asked in surprise, "She is so capable, isn't she?"Chu Liuchen held her in his arms and spoke softly, "Even if it were not her, she would have to suffer the consequence. She gave the Changxing Grass to Zhang Qilan in private. Besides, she repeatedly slandered you before Zhang Qilan. All these things were because she heard something from the Empress: Chu Liuyue had asked to marry you. Out of jealousy, she targeted you."Sensing the warm and familiar scent she gave off in his arms, Chu Liuchen slightly tightened his grip. The woman in his arms was his treasure. He would never let anyone covet her."What did Infanta Yuan'an say?" Shao Wanru asked, lifting her eyebrows. She felt well after waking up, but Chu Liuchen did not allow her to get up. He had been holding her since he came back from the Palace.Sensing his muscles bunch under her clothes, Shao Wanru didn't dare to move. She obediently
Shao Wanru didn't agree to the request of Madam of Prime Minister Zhang. But at last, she accepted the letter she brought over.Madam of Prime Minister Zhang left while sobbing, but she knew there was nothing she could do about it. It was her daughter who caused the trouble. At this time, nothing could be done when Princess Chen was unwilling to forgive her.Besides, her daughter had said Princess Chen shouldn't be blamed for this. Therefore, Madam of Prime Minister Zhang hated Infanta Yuan'an and Ruiping Great Elder Princess more...The letter placed on the table was opened. It was about Zhang Qilan's experience during these days. She was first suspicious. Then, evil intentions gradually occupied her mind. Secrets revealed by this letter were more than she had provided. In it, Zhang Qilan clearly stated every event in Princess Yuyan's courtyard.In the end, she especially mentioned Princess Yuyan and asked Shao Wanru to wat
"Nanny Wei, you are in such a hurry. Why?" The chief supervisor talked about something else. After a glance at her, he smiled and asked.Nanny Wei paused subconsciously but pretended to be calm. "Her Majesty was worried about Princess Chen. I walked faster because I was anxious to learn about her condition. Fortunately, she is not seriously injured. Otherwise, it would be hard for me to report it to Her Majesty!"Nanny Wei put her palms together devoutly as she spoke. She seemed grateful that Princess Chen was lucky enough to have had a narrow escape."Not seriously injured?" The chief supervisor smiled and said, "Well, you don't need to report it!""Why?" Nanny Wei was stunned. She put down her hands and had a bad feeling in her heart."It happens that Prince Chen has gone to the Palace today. At this time, he must have seen the Empress Dowager. He knows the best about Her Highness's injury condition," the chie
Ruiping Great Elder Princess knelt on the ground for a long time. Her legs went numb, and her forehead was dripping sweat. But even so, she still gritted her teeth and endured it. She had to stick at it. Many people in her mansion were nervously waiting for the Emperor's order.She hated her granddaughter, Infanta Yuan'an. If she had known she was such a disappointing granddaughter, she would not have tried her best to promote her.Except for Infanta Yuan'an, she had a lot of grandsons and granddaughters. She was reluctant to sacrifice everyone for her. But now, she could do nothing but scold Infanta Yuan'an for being a useless idiot.Infanta Yuan'an was her eldest legitimate granddaughter, the most steady one. Therefore, she entered the Palace and asked for a reward for her. That was how Infanta Yuan'an got her title. By improving her status, Ruiping Great Elder Princess intended to let her marry the crown prince of the Eastern Palace i
"What the hell had happened?" A steely voice came from behind the curtain. Nanny Wei stopped and looked behind her carefully. She breathed a sigh of relief when seeing nothing unusual."I don't know about it either. Princess Chen said she would come over, but later, she sent someone over, saying she was in poor condition and couldn't get up. I had planned to send someone to inform Ruiping Great Elder Princess, but Prince Chen was at the Empress Dowager's place then. I couldn't leave for fear of arousing his suspicion!"Nanny Wei explained in a low voice.This palace was very old. It was said to be the residence of a favored imperial consort. But this place had been empty since the Emperor moved into the Palace. No master was living here. Several parts of the gauze curtains inside were broken. In the depths of the curtains, a figure could be faintly seen. However, nothing else could be seen clearly."Nanny Wei, did you do it
"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
