"Mother, what does Madam Shi mean? What a vicious little bitch does she take a fancy to? How dare she treat me and Yuru like that! Mother, you should redress the scales. The general severely reprimanded me before I came here and said that if Madam Shi does that again, I shall never have a connection with Duke Yong's Mansion. Mother, what... what should I do now?"
Madam Di cried and fell in front of the old lady.
Madam Di went to meet the old lady and told her the whole story as soon as she arrived at Duke Yong's mansion. The old lady was extremely angry about the fact that Countess Yong did such a vicious thing together with Ning Caixian, and then she also blamed Qin's Mansion for damaging the royal gifts. The old lady severely smashed her crutch on the ground and she said with a fierce voice, "Go... call Madam Shi here!"
The old lady had only one daughter. And Madam Di, her only daughter, was the apple of her eye. Had it not been for the sp
The lofty imperial palace was tall, with layers of steps. Two rows of imperial servants lowered their heads and stood respectfully, not daring to move. The gate of the upper palace opened wide, and Empress Dowager sat in the main hall. Around her were several beautiful and charming imperial concubines, who were talking with Empress Dowager to amuse her. The Queen also sat beside Empress Dowager, but she didn't look well. Although she also smiled, the smile was a little stiff. She felt humiliated for being reprimanded by Empress Dowager just now. Looking at the several concubines who were talking to Empress Dowager with enthusiasm, she was somewhat gloomy. A maid rushed in and said, "Empress Dowager, Prince Chen is here!" Empress Dowager said urgently, "Invite him in quickly!" She sat up straight and seemed to look forward to seeing him. Such an expression made the Queen even more resentful. Prince Ch
"Ran away?" Qin Wanru blinked her watery eyes twice shockingly. After such an event occurred, first, Madam Di came home to complain tearfully to Qin Huaiyong; then, Qin Yuru rushed to his study and made such a loud noise that some well-informed servants in the mansion knew it at once. "Miss, this Childe Di usually looks smart, but how did he do such an unduly thing? Or does he treat this Miss Ning so well indeed? But why did he agree to marry the First Miss, also lived in our mansion, and guaranteed he and that Miss Ning had broken up thoroughly?" Yujie pursed her lips and took a cup of tea to the table in front of Qin Wanru. Although she was now Qin Wanru's servant girl, she had been brought up in Jingxin Monastery and dared to fearlessly say what other common servant girls dared not to. "How come he ran away!" Qin Wanru gave a small smile, took up the teacup in her hand, warmed her hands, and, seemingly referrin
Qin Wanru was standing at the side door, which didn't open, only with a small crack. From there, she could see the outside clearly. Now, the mansion's gate opened, and she saw her grandmother, her father, and those of Duke Yong's Mansion walk out of the main entrance. With a blink of her watery eyes, she turned sideways to look at the servants at her grandmother's heels. She asked Yujie to come near and whispered something to her. Yujie nodded and went to join them silently. Now, many people came out of the gate, forming a messy crowd, in which there were every master's servants. With her wits, Yujie found one of the servant girls usually led by Nanny Duan, pointed at Nanny Duan's location, and returned silently. That servant girl also looked bright. She didn't go over right away. After waiting a while, she jostled her way over to Nanny Duan and whispered something. Qin Wanru stood behind the door crack, still watching Ning Cai
"Father, don't beat my mother. For this matter, I am not wrong, my mother is not, either!" Di Yan was stunned and said anxiously. As Qin Huaiyong left, the two guards had already released his hands. When he saw that his mother was slapped, he was stunned and also ran over to her instantly. "Smack!" Another slap sounded, but it fell on Di Yan's face this time. Duke Yong looked vicious, walked over, and kicked Di Yan hard, making him shake and kneel on the ground with a heavy thud. His foot bumped into the bluestone slate in front, and so he screamed out of the pain and could not stand up any longer. "Duke, what are you doing?" Countess Yong regained consciousness at this time. Regardless of the palm print on her face, she pounced over to protect Di Yan, preventing Duke Yong from beating him again. "Let him kneel until our brother-in-law forgives him!" Duke Yong said ruthlessly. "Duke, why are you so cruel? Yan'er i
In the study, Madam Di was kneeling in front of Qin Huaiyong's desk, sobbing. Hearing a sound, she raised her head, took a look at Qin Wanru, and began to wipe away her tears again with her handkerchief, ignoring her. In the study, there were no other people because Yujue didn't follow her in. First, Qin Wanru stepped forward to bow respectfully to Qin Huaiyong, who waved his hand to let her up, then lowered his head to continue reading the case records in his hands. In the room, only Madam Di's sobbing could be heard. The silence was eerie! Qin Wanru backed off to the side and hesitated, seemingly wishing to say something. Qin Huaiyong took the records to read, waited a long while, but didn't hear her voice, then raised his head again to look at her and asked, "Wanru, what's up?" "Grandma is not well!" Qin Wanru said. "Didn't your grandma already wake up just now?" Qin Huaiyong frowned.
"What if do I take you away? What else do you want to do? Look at what you are like now. Even if you were a concubine, Duke Yong's Mansion would not want you. It is in vain that you think that you have controlled Di Yan. Now it's just like a joke!" Ning Xueqing sneered coldly. "Take me away, and I'll help you marry Wang Shengxue, or you should not be so stupid to believe that he will marry you!" Ning Caixian said with gloomy and cold eyes. "Why wouldn't he marry me? He'll certainly marry me, but it's a bit too early now. It'll take a while to wait for a suitable time..." Unwilling to show her weakness in front of Ning Caixian, Ning Xueqing raised her head proudly. "Do you believe this reason?" Ning Caixian asked in a gloomy way. Ning Xueqing opened her mouth and wanted to refute her. "Take me away and I'll help you. I will not recoil from death." Ning Caixian interrupted her words coldly again. She raised her head
"Miss, are you alright?" Seeing that her asking almost ran into trouble, the old maid hastened to apologize with regret and helped Yujie to pick Qin Wanru up. "I'm fine." Pulling herself together, Qin Wanru shook her head and said. She held Yujie's hands and stood still. Her eyes fell on the old maid standing in front of her, an old maid smiling with affinity. Although the clothes on the old maid were very simple, her bearing didn't look like that of common people. So, Qin Wanru couldn't help becoming cautious in her heart. In this capital city, there were lots of dignitaries, so nobody knew who they met before their eyes. "Madam, what's the matter?" The deep meaning in her eye vanishing, Qin Wanru asked gently. "You look so young and so weak. I'm really surprised to see you climbing this mountain right from there, so I come to ask if you want to take a rest." The old maid laughed. "So she has looked
"The Second Miss is here. What's the matter?" the old maid who could hardly stand still said with great shock. "Madam Dowager asks Second Miss to come to her place right away. Young Lady Qi has fainted down." The girl servant gasped for breath and wiped a handful of sweat. The old maid dared not delay and hurriedly made room for the girl servant to enter the door. "Qi Rongzhi has fainted down? When did she come here?" Qin Wanru asked in surprise as she demanded Yujie to pull up her hair, which had not yet been all dry. This time when she climbed the mountain she didn't take Qi Rongzhi. How could she faint down in the place of her grandma at this moment? Qin Wanru could make sure that this morning she did not hear anything about Qi Rongzhi. So her grandma shouldn't know that she had gone to Huaguang Temple. "Just now, Young Lady Qi arrived at Huaguang Temple and said she had something to talk to Madam Dowager. But
"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
