"What nonsense!" In a moment of fluster, Qin Yuru scolded and screamed at the doctor with her hand pointing at him, "Who are you, the vulgar man? How dare you talk nonsense! If not poisoned, then why would my mother get poisoned before? That one is the best doctor in the capital city. Do you dare to say you are better than him?"
"The best doctor in the capital city?" The doctor who came later raised his eyebrows, glanced at the doctor who tried to hide behind the crowd and said indifferently, "Well, he is the best one in the city but I possess the medical skills which have been handed down from my ancestors. By the way, I am sure that I am much better than the so-called famous doctor who once killed his patient!"
"He killed his patient?"
"You, you make nonsense!" Qin Yuru stunned and was at a loss for words.
The latter stood up, walked into the crowd and pulled the former out. He stared the former up and down and said, "It is u
Since Qin Wanru wanted to dig into details and it seemed that she tried to find out the vomit which didn't even exist, Nanny Zhou flustered. Thinking for a while, she quickly responded just in order to shut Qin Wanru up, "Second Lady, I did clean it up. You know, it was an unexpected accident and I once saw the same case on a servant girl before. Thus I quickly supposed that Madam Di was poisoned. Then I went to the kitchen and got the doctor here." "So do you mean that you have cleaned up the vomit before the doctor came?" A half smile appeared on Qin Wanru's face. Nanny Zhou had a feeling something went wrong but she didn't know what the problem was. She could say nothing but with her mouth opening. Qin Wanru smiled coldly and turned to the doctor who came first. "Since I don't know what kind of medicine you used, may I have a look?" Qin Wanru asked and smiled at the doctor who looked very embarrassed. "Well, it
Since he decided to confess, everything would become much easier later. The doctor told everything to them. There was someone who asked him to spray himself with safflower powder when he went to Qin's Mansion. However, the unknown person's master wasn't Madam Di. The person only told him to see Madam Di when Nanny Zhou from Qin's Mansion came and did everything according to Nanny Zhou's words. He once treated Madam Di so he was familiar with Nanny Zhou. When he came here, he found that Madam Di looked weak but he couldn't find any evidence to prove that she was poisoned. However, since Nanny Zhou mentioned, he then gave her a pill to clear toxin and committed that she was poisoned. "Who?" Qin Huaiyong asked while he looked livid. "I don't know. He, he looked quite normal and just asked me for a favor. Then he gave me a hundred taels of silver!" Sweating, the doctor hurriedly answered. He was completely seduced by
"Since now Madam Di has become like this, it is inconvenient to punish her. I have asked my brother-in-law and I think it would be better for her to recover!" Qin Huaiyong gave a bitter smile. He couldn't send Madam Di away at this time because her situation was not good and she needed a rest. Otherwise, any rushed action might kill her. As for the agreement which Duke Yong's Mansion and Qin Huaiyong had settled before, now it had been void. "I heard that there is a doctor who sprayed himself with safflower powder. Did he intend to harm your pregnant madam?" Chu Liuyue continued to ask about the incident casually while he didn't slow down. Actually these questions were impolite because there would be all kinds of troubles in everyone's family and it was hard to tell others these problems. However, since Chu Liuyue asked, Qin Huaiyong had to answer. He hesitated and then answered, "Yes." "General Qin doesn't have a son?" Glancing at Qin Huaiy
Qin Wanru freshened up and organized her dress in Madam Dowager's inner room but she didn't come out immediately. She just sat there and listened carefully for their talk outside while her shining eyes were overshadowed. "Is Madam of Duke Xing unwilling to stop? Doesn't she know Qi Rongzhi is quite jealous?" She was about to ask something about Duke Xing's Mansion while Qi Rongzhi suddenly came. What a big surprise... Outside there sat Qi Tianyu and Qi Rongzhi. They came here to send gifts to Qin's Mansion on behalf of Qi's Mansion. They said that Magistrate Qi brought some native products from Jiangzhou which had arrived this morning. Qi Tianyu was courteous and so was Qi Rongzhi. She said that Qin's Mansion once helped her before so she particularly came here from Duke Xing's Mansion and brought some presents in order to show her gratitude to Qin's Mansion. After a while, Qi Rongzhi looked around and asked smili
Qin Wanru didn't expect she would meet Qi's brothers at the evening banquet. It was quite surprising to see these two brothers attend the family feast of Qin's Mansion. When they were still in Jiangzhou, Qi Tianyu would come to Qin's Mansion and drink with Qin Huaiyong after having dinner in Qi's Mansion. However, Qi Tianyu was dating Qin Yuru at that time. Although these two families didn't discuss their engagement directly, they had made a decision. But what now? Glancing at Qin Yuru who sat beside, Qin Wanru sat down slowly beside Shui Ruolan with her eyes darkening. Madam Dowager took the middle seat with Shui Ruolan and Qin Huaiyong sitting on her both sides. Qin Wanru happened to sit between Qin Yuru and Shui Ruolan while there was space between them. Qi Tianyu sat beside Qin Huaiyong while Qi Baiyu was near his brother. Then with Qin Yuru was next to Qi Baiyu, then a circle was made.
"Let's catch up with them. They are still kids and I am afraid they would hit something while pushing their way through the crowd. You know, there are many noble men in the city!" answered Qi Tianyu gently, seeming that he didn't hear Qin Yuru's sweet voice. He sped up and quickly kept up with Qin Wanru and Qi Baiyu. Walking beside Qin Wanru, he warned Qi Baiyu, "Slow down! We need to wait for them!" Qin Wanru looked back and found Qin Yuru who looked weepy. An imperceptible trace of doubt appeared in her eyes. She thought it was too strange! Qi Baiyu who walked ahead slowed down as Qin Yuru hurried to catch up with them. Finally, they walked side by side. Seeing Qin Yuru walking beside Qi Tianyu again, Qin Wanru smiled and quickly stopped watching them. A mysterious smile appeared on her face. They finished dinner quite early today so it was just getting dark. Now along the street hung various shapes of lanterns. There were ma
The combination of the white-sand rice paper and the white-goat hair ink brush increased the difficulty of this task. No wonder nobody dared to have a try. Those who had lived in the capital city just stood back while those who didn't live here dared not to try first as they found nobody volunteered and they feared that there might be some traps. Thus they were careful of this task. As a result, an awkward silence appeared. Qin Wanru felt the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly. "Nobody won presents last year?" asked Qin Wanru. "No. Nobody would know the shopkeeper would be so cunning. How could they combine these two things together! Nobody would practice writing with these papers! It couldn't improve your writing but also it is quite expensive!" Di Fenglan popped her head up and explained. Although it was expensive and hard to write on, it was easy to preserve! Qi Baiyu's eyes twinkled. He had always been quick-witted s
The shop-boy moved aside, and the shopkeeper who had just stood on the stage turned out from the back of the shop-boy. Seeing Qin Wanru's appearance, he was stunned because he did not expect that she would be such a young Miss. After looking up and down at her, he looked more horrified in his eyes in that this Miss in front of him was really outstanding. The shopkeeper had seen a lot of girls, but he had never seen such a young and excellent girl. So he dared not treat her without proper respect, he walked to Qin Wanru and saluted politely, "I have heard that Miss has some calligraphy to sell. I was wandering whether Miss could let me have a look?" "I do not know whether it is the one you want." Qin Wanru smiled slightly. "So I come to ask first. If so, I will take it out next time!" This obviously meant that she did not take it out this time, but it was reasonable. How could it be possible to take a piece of calligraphy with her when she wa
"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
