"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
He didn't say much but there was a bit of craving under his eyes. This eagerness made Empress Dowager's eyes red. The grandson that she was most concerned about might not see these night scenes that he was eager for at a time. "It's OK that Chen'er wants to take a rest!" The emperor's expression became more and more gentle. Such a gentle tone could not be seen by many concubines. For a while, many jealous eyes entangled in Chu Liuchen's body, but then a lot of sarcasm appeared on the corners of lips of many people. He was just a sick prince, and nobody would care about a dying man. "Thank you, my uncle!" Chu Liuchen said. He went out of the hall with Xiao Xuanzi. Outside the main hall, Chu Liuchen stood under the tree to calm himself down, and he reached out to rub his forehead. There were many people in the main hall. His head did feel a little uncomfortable. When he was outside the main hall, he felt slightly better.
Chu Liuchen finally stopped laughing when Qin Wanru looked unbearably ashamed and looked at Qin Wanru with interest. His handsome face showed a teenager's tiredness and less usual elegance and calmness. He looked very real, as if coming out from an ink and wash painting. "Since you're hungry, why don't you eat some?" He looked up and smiled at Qin Wanru. Since Qin Wanru had lost her face, she felt that she didn't need to pretend to be elegant. She picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks indignantly and ate without raising her head. The pastry was very savory and glutinous, and just melted in her mouth. She found the flavor a little familiar, and it was her favorite. Looking at the pastry in front of her in astonishment, she could be sure that she had never eaten it. However, both its appearance and flavor seemed to be familiar, as if there was such flavor at the bottom of her memory. She took another bite and
"They must be sent by someone powerful!" Chu Liuchen watched the few people searching for Qin Wanru in the crowd with interest. They seemed to be casual, but actually cooperated well. When something happened, there was an immediate response. An experienced team like them must be sent by someone powerful! Unexpectedly he found some clues here, which was really a surprise. "Xiao Xuanzi!" Chu Liuchen said to someone downstairs through the window. Although his voice was not high, Xiao Xuanzi standing downstairs heard it immediately, hurried upstairs, and said respectfully to Chu Liuchen, "Master!" "Go, find something for them to do!" Chu Liuchen pointed to the downstairs with his chin. Xiao Xuanzi glanced at the direction he was pointing at, also saw those people, and instantly understood, "Master, I'll go to arrange it now!" "You must not spare the shopkeeper's life!" Chu Liuchen said with
"Gift?" Qin Wanru raised her eyes suspiciously, stared at Chu Liuchen in astonishment with her bright watery eyes, tried to move her hand, but found that she could not move at all. "Of course you should give me a gift, because I gave you a red packet for the New Year!" Chu Liuchen looked Qin Wanru up and down. He made Qin Wanru feel a little nervous for no reason. She subconsciously widened her eyes and nervously stared at Chu Liuchen with her watery eyes. Her vigilant look pleased Chu Liuchen. He reached out to stir Qin Wanru's earring, and an earring fell into his hand. He then moved his hand away from Qin Wanru's hand and put it down, "You can give me this earring as the gift!" Qin Wanru withdrew her hand and looked at Chu Liuchen, speechless. "Look at my red packet!" Chu Liuchen said, showing some complacency of a young man. When Qin Wanru lowered her head, spread her palm and found a big red pac
"Ah," the bitter cry came from behind. It was a lady's voice which was very light and gentle. Even if Xiqi didn't see anyone, he could tell that it must be a gorgeous lady. No matter how curious Xiqi was, he didn't dare to look back and quickened his pace, for fear that his slow pace would annoy Chu Liuchen. His master had kept telling him not to mess with Chu Liuchen. His master had no choice this time, otherwise his master would not make use of Chu Liuchen as a shield. Qin Wanru touched her head and burst into tears in pain. She didn't know what hard stuff she had bumped her head on so that she could see nothing but a pall of darkness at the moment. She felt the cloak on her head was lifted up, and saw Chu Liuchen cover his chin with his long and white hand and his long and pretty eyes become gloomy. Qin Wanru immediately realized what had happened and hurriedly reached out to rub her hair with a flattering smile.
Standing in front of Chu Liuchen, Xiao Xuanzi declared gravely. “Since you planned to perpetrate the assassination against Prince Chen, your whole clan and you should be executed!“"Your highness, I would never even dare to do that! It was just an accident!" The guard leader paled as he hurriedly tried to explain, and broke out in cold sweat. He even threw his sword as far away as he could, and quickly kowtowed to Chu Liuchen.A sudden and weird silence hung over the room.Watching his sweat slowly dripping along his eyelashes, the guard leader felt his heart was almost in his mouth for a long moment. Finally, Chu Liuchen's calm but solemn voice said. "So you were not trying to kill me?""Definitely! I would never dare to do that! I would rather die than commit such a wicked deed!" The guard leader dared not raise his head to look at Chu Liuchen."Get up!" Chu Liuchen said, his voice sounding much milder now.
"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
