In the afternoon of the next day, Madam Dowager, together with a group of people, left Huaguang Temple and returned to Ningyuan Army General's Mansion.
It was quiet in front of the door of General's Mansion and there were few onlookers. But farther away, someone pointed at here and there and seemed to be talking about something.
When Qin Wanru got off the carriage, she saw Madam Di and Qin Huaiyong standing next to Madam Dowager. Their faces looked very sullen.
After stepping forward and saluting to them silently, Qin Wanru went back to one side.
"Zhuozhuo goes home first, and Ruolan comes with me!" Madam Dowager said with sullen face. It was obvious that Qin Huaiyong and Madam Di had told her something before. But Madam Dowager didn't want to involve Qin Wanru into this thing, so she dispatched Qin Wanru away.
Qin Wanru nodded her head and was about to turn around and go away. Suddenly she turned back and asked Q
"Miss, First Miss and Mei Xue did leave from the back gate secretly. Don't know where they are going at this time?" Qin Wanru had asked Yujie to keep an eye on Qin Yuru. So, when she found Qin Yuru left Qin's Mansion dressed as a servant girl, she returned hurriedly to report it to Qin Wanru. Qin Wanru was reading the medical book Mingqiu Nun gave her in the very quiet room. As she heard what Yujie said, she raised her head but shook it. "Don't care about that. At this time, she must be going to meet Qi Tianyu." As she spoke, she took up the small scissors on her side slowly and cut a part of the dancing wick and the long tears of the candle. Just now, the flame was dancing, not steady, but now it became peaceful. "Is she going to beg First Young Master of the Qi Family to prove the previous matters are all lies? Miss, what shall we do? He is bound to help First Miss!" Yujie became anxious as she heard it because she knew First Miss' great i
Duke Yong was shocked as if he confronted an enemy. "I've heard the problem has been solved, haven't I?" "Elder Brother-in-law, many have seen that imperial plate, and many have also heard the previous reason. Until now, you haven't given me an explanation of why that plate appeared in our mansion. It was a betrothal gift as your mansion said, but there is no it on the betrothal gift list. Besides, on the plate, there is also crack which was made a long time ago." Qin Huaiyong spoke word by word, and his eyes were deep and sharp, giving off eerie, cold air. Even if it was a misunderstanding, the plate with a crack was already a crime. Since all the imperial objects had records, their owners were clear. Let alone this also had relations with Duke Xing's Mansion. Duke Yong dare not wager and couldn't afford to wager. "Then, what shall we do now?" Speaking of this problem, Duke Yong felt not confident, had to soften
"Madam of Duke Xing wants to meet me?" Madam Dowager was dumbfounded for a while and then sat up straight. Upon arrival in the capital, she had lived a secluded life in the mansion and never met any guest. She didn't know what this Madam of Duke Xing, who she had never met before, intended to do! Although Madam of Duke Xing had been here before, she met Madam Di, which had nothing to do with Madam Dowager. "Yes, she said she wants to express her gratitude because of Wanru's help for the young master of Duke Xing's Mansion! She was in a hurry last time without bringing a gift, so she didn't meet you!" Qin Huaiyong glanced at Qin Wanru beside him and said. It could be considered the reason why Madam of Duke Xing came to the Qin's Mansion last time to meet Madam Di without meeting Madam Dowager. "She comes over at this time... We are in a mess now. I'm afraid it's not a good time," Madam Dowager said after hesitation.
"Grandma, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Qin Wanru looked at Madam Dowager in astonishment and then looked at Madam of Duke Xing. Her blank expression became surprised, "Could it be possible that you've found my mother? Where is she? Is she alright? Is she really in the capital? No wonder Rui'an Great Elder Princess..." Speaking of this, Qin Wanru seemed to feel that she had slipped out and hurriedly stopped talking. "What did Rui'an Great Elder Princess say?" With her face involuntarily changing, Madam of Duke Xing said hurriedly. After finishing talking, she found that she was too hasty and then hurriedly said to Madam Dowager with a helpless smile, "Madam Dowager probably doesn't know about the relationship between our mansion and Rui'an Great Elder Princess. Rui'an Great Elder Princess has always disliked our mansion because of my sister-in-law. I am afraid that I happen to do something offensive to Rui'an Great Eld
"Miss Qi, please stand up. We can discuss it later after your parents come to the capital!" After thinking for a while, Madam of Duke Xing said slowly with a sullen face. The old maid behind her hurried forward to help Qi Rongzhi stand up. Being rejected to her face with a barely acceptable reason, Qi Rongzhi still blushed with shame. She burst into tears, turned around, covered her face and ran out in tears. "Grandma, I'll take care of Miss Qi!" Qin Wanru said hurriedly and chased after her. Nanny Zheng, who stood at the door and waited for Qin Wanru, originally wanted to follow Qin Wanru. Qin Wanru shook her hand to her, and reached out to point inward. Nanny Zheng understood. She called a maid to follow Qin Wanru, while she was still standing outside the curtain of the door. It was advantageous for her to stand here. The people inside couldn't see her, but she could hear the sounds inside. "Thank
There was only a high wall here with no other people around. Nanny Sheng was really not afraid to be heard by others. "Where did you get the map? Why is there such a detailed map of our mansion? What did you do in Madam Di's yard? Does your Madam of Duke Xing intend to do something, that can't be known by others, with Madam Di?" Nanny Zheng raised her brows and looked at Nanny Sheng aggressively. Although Nanny Sheng was Madam of Duke Xing's intimate Nanny and had experienced a lot, she was a little inferior to Nanny Zheng. Nanny Zheng had stayed in the palace for so many years during which she was promoted to a henchman from an ordinary palace maid. Her experience was incomparable to that of a Nanny of a Madam from an aristocratic family. "Are you seeking death eagerly? How dare you talk nonsense like this. Let's see whether your master can protect you or my master can kill you!" Nanny Sheng said ferociously. "Yo
"Since it is a misunderstanding, Madam, you can leave now!" Qin Huaiyong said lightly, stopping asking whether it was true or not, even without seeking proof. Nevertheless, he said that in an obviously suspicious tone, looked much colder and faintly seemed to ask her to leave, which embarrassed Madam of Duke Xing a lot. But Qin Huaiyong directly cut off this topic, so she had to stop talking. Madam of Duke Xing had prepared a lot of words to explain it, only to find her explanation was useless. She felt like being ready to attack but finally punching on the cotton. In the moment, she looked embarrassed. Fortunately, after being embarrassed for a while, Madam of Duke Xing stood up and said with displeasure, "Since it is a misunderstanding, we are okay after making a clear explanation. I'm leave now!" Qin Huaiyong nodded and stood up, seeming like about to see her off. Anyway he should show necessary respect for Madam of Duke Xin
"Lady, the general just went to find the First Lady! Did she paint that picture?" Yujie reported. Qin Wanru raised her eyebrow and answered firmly, "No!" "If she didn't do that, then why would the general go get her so angrily?" Yujie asked very confusedly and she also supposed that it shouldn't be the First Lady who painted that picture before! "It is Madam Di who did that!" Sitting casually in a pavilion, Qin Wanru answered unhurriedly. It was a nice day with little wind and warm sunshine. This pavilion beside the garden rockery was built in a good place where it not only could keep out the wind but also was bathed in the sun. Moreover, she enjoyed the wide view here! "If it is Madam Di who painted that, then why would the general go to find the First Lady? It seems that she has nothing to do with this event, right?" said Yujie. "Mei Xue is the one who contacts the old maid of Duke Xing's Mansion w
"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
