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
Qi Tianyu and Qi Baiyu were asked to come the next day. They went together to the guest court where Qi Rongzhi lived. "Brother! You finally came!" Seeing Qi Tianyu standing in the doorway, tall and handsome, Qi Rongzhi was so excited and ran over to him. However, when she found Qi Baiyu standing behind Qi Tianyu, she immediately stopped and rolled her eyes. She asked unhappily, "Brother, why is he here?" "Manners, Rongzhi! Address him as second brother!" Qi Tianyu looked slightly sulky. "Second brother!" Although Qi Rongzhi was reluctant to do that, she still listened to her first brother and addressed her second brother. Then she pointed at the court and said, "Then second brother, you can walk around by yourself, because I have something important to tell my first brother!" She quickly held Qi Tianyu's hand and walked towards her inner court, leaving Qi Baiyu alone in the outer court. Qi Tianyu tur
Although Qin Huaiyong was appreciated by the Emperor, he did not have a high rank and at most, he was an upstart. Thus, Qin's Mansion was not comparable to those aristocrat families who had a very long history. If he compared himself with those families, others would think that Qin Huaiyong was a man who was inordinately arrogant, proud of his ability and ignorant, for he dared to be diametrically opposed to Duke Xing's Mansion. It seemed that Qin Huaiyong was too haughty. What's worse, somebody might inform those aristocrat mansions and might lead to confrontation with Qin's Mansion, which would then be considered as a catastrophe for Qin Huaiyong! Since even Madame Dong came to hear about this, it seemed that Madam of Duke Xing was determined to let Qin Wanru become her accepted daughter in Duke Xing's Mansion. Qin Huaiyong had no right to say "no"! Coincidentally, Qi Tianyu was here and Qi Baiyu was sitting out
"Let's go!" Qin Wanru said, when she saw the Qi Brothers leaving. She curved her mouth slightly and was satisfied that she had succeeded in getting Qi Tianyu's attention. In view of Qi Rongzhi's character, Qi Tianyu might not bear her words in mind, but since he read father's file, he became interested in it. When Qi Tianyu was thinking, he stopped and flicked his sleeve. It was one of his habits, or maybe he just did it subconsciously, but Qin Wanru saw it clearly. If he was not interested in it, he would not have stopped to think, as soon as he walked out of Qin Huaiyong's court! The reason why she deliberately put the file on her father's desk, was that she wanted to let Qi Tianyu notice it, and help Qi Rongzhi to be the accepted daughter of Madam of Duke Xing. It was extremely difficult for Qi Rongzhi to achieve the position because of her temper. However, if Qi Tianyu gave her a hand, things would be differen
"Word has already got out that we will adopt her as a daughter. How can we stop this?" Madam of Duke Xing shook with barely suppressed anger. In order to put more pressure on the Qin's Mansion, she deliberately visited many high-powered madams for various reasons, the next day. Although she did not explicitly say that she would adopt Qin Wanru as a foster daughter, she did express implicitly that she would like to have an adopted daughter. She had visited Qin Wanru before with great satisfaction, and showed that she valued this adopted daughter. After being adopted, Qin Wanru would be brought up in Duke Xing's Mansion. She did not say that in an explicit way, which absolutely showed her self-restraint. It was obvious that before things were formally finalized, she could not just casually say something for certain. "Do you still want to adopt her now? Does it mean that the rumor is true?" Duke Xing asked in a cold voice. With an
"Second Miss Qin, I am the servant from Duke Xing's Mansion. This time I am here to arrange for our Madam to take Miss Qi as her foster daughter." The principal maid smiled mildly and politely. Qin Wanru nodded. This servant girl was familiar to her, she had been here with Madam of Duke Xing, before. "Our Madam likes Second Miss very much, and originally she wanted to adopt Second Miss as her foster daughter. But she had not thought that the rumors outside were so unpleasant that our Old Madam even rebuked our Madam, so she had to switch to First Miss. But anyway, our Madam likes Second Miss most, and although you cannot become mother and daughter, she asked me to tell Second Miss that whatever happens in the future, you can directly tell our Madam, and our Madam will try her best to help you!" The principal maid was quick witted and eloquent. She finished the speech from Madam of Duke Xing without any pause, and then waved her
Behind the plum tree turned out Qi Rongzhi with a look of holding her head high, which seemed similar to her look in Jiangzhou at that time. "Qin Wanru, I didn't know that you used to show a well-behaved appearance in the past, but now you dare to offend Qin Yuru deliberately!" Qin Wanru definitely understood her pun as the corners of her lips slightly moved upward, of which the beautiful color was as gorgeous as flowers. "When will First Miss Qi leave?" This sentence implicitly expressed the meaning of driving her off. She knew that after hearing her words Qi Rongzhi couldn't help jumping out and coming to her! Qi Rongzhi was furious and her eyes fiercely fell on Qin Wanru's body. "Qin's Mansion is not a good place. It is certain that I will leave, and I will go far away. In future, I will be the Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion, while you are just a... b*stard picked from somewhere. After this leave, there will be a world of diffe
"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
