This was forcing Qin's Mansion to concede!
Moreover, Shui Ruolan had to be dragged into the water to make it to the court. If Madam Di went to the court, Shui Ruolan also had to go to the court. Considering Shui Ruolan's weak body currently, coupled with her depressed heart and shame, this might kill her instantly!
Duke Yong's Mansion really knew how to plan things well. Madam Di’s current situation would make people pity her. Even if there were evidences, many people would stand by Madam Di’s side. Added that Duke Yong's Mansion would help her secretly, and even Duke Xing's Mansion would help her, even if it was the court, the hearing would only be unjust.
The only witness was that doctor, but if something happened to the doctor, there would be no more reliable witness!
Qin Wanru sneered in her heart. Last night Duke Yong's Mansion did not plan to assault her directly. It seemed to discuss how to deal with it, and may even get som
"Your Big Sister?" Madam Dowager did not understand what she meant."Grandma, Big Sister is ill, but her condition cannot be compared with Madam Di's current situation. Since I will be visiting Madam Di, how can she, as Madam Di's biological daughter, not go? Even if Big Sister cannot serve Madam Di in person because she is sick, she still has to show her regard. So how about allowing Big Sister to live in Yulan Pavilion? When she sees Big Sister, Madam Di will be in a good mood and she will get better too!"Qin Wanru said softly.Qin Yuru did not want to go, but she would insist!"Allow your Big Sister to move to Madam Di's place?" Madam Dowager thought for a while and felt that this was a good idea. She nodded and sighed, "That's okay. Anyway, Madam Di is your Big Sister's mother. Even though Madam Di brought this on herself, your Big Sister will still be worried about her!""Since grandma is agreeable, let's ask som
"Grandma, what can we do?" Qin Yuru rushed to the bed and cried so hard when looking at Madam Di. She was overwhelmed by grief and did not look well, so she became more delicate and weak.Di Fenglan also sympathized with her. Walking over and squatting in front of Madam Di's bed, she comforted Qin Yuru in a low voice. "Cousin, don't cry. Grandmother has arranged everything. An imperial physician will come soon. My father went to the palace early to invite the imperial physician this morning.""Will an imperial physician come to treat my mother?" Qin Yuru was shocked to quickly raise her head and asked, with her hands on the bedside trembling. If her mother really got well, what should she do?Even if others did not know, how could she not know that it was because of her that her mother had been hurt so badly?However, she had had no other alternative in that circumstance. If her mother had not been seriously injured, Qin Wanru and
When Qin Wanru came over, Qin Yuru's objects were moved here one by one.The Yulan Pavilion, which had been neglected for a long time, became lively at once, and the servant girls and old maids who had been relocated to other places also returned.The yard with weeds was cleaned up again, and Qing Xue and Hongye took a lot of servant girls and old maids to clean the inside and outside of the yard completely.Madam Di had originally had two close-fitting servant girls called Meiya and Meibao, but they were also sent away afterwards. This time, they returned again and gained the identity as the principal maids again.Qing Xue originally came with the identity as the principal maid. Hongye was also a principal maid after she entered the mansion.There were now four principal maids around Madam Di, coupled with Nanny Zhou, a few little servant girls, and rough old maids. Therefore, the whole yard became much more lively.
Hearing the approaching footsteps outside, Qin Wanru motioned Yujie to stand aside."Second Miss, the imperial physician, Doctor Li has come!" Qu Le's voice said outside the door.Qin Wanru got up and stood behind the gauze bed curtain when Yujie walked to the door and lifted the door curtain. A middle-aged imperial physician came in with a servant who was carrying a medicine chest on his back following behind.Nanny Zhou was also following him. When she saw Madam Di lying on the bed motionlessly with eyes opening, she leaped on Madam Di and cried frightenedly, "Madam! Madam! What happened to you?""Madam Di just woke up. She felt uncomfortable and seemed to freak out." Yujie came and explained to her after bowing to the imperial physician.Nanny Zhou was so anxious that she almost cried, "Madam? Madam! What's wrong with you? Please let me know!"It appeared that Nanny Zhou's call brought Madam Di's soul b
The imperial physician took a glance at Qin Yuru and shook his head silently. Then he was ready to leave the main room with his servant and to follow Yujie to give a prescription in the wing room. Suddenly, the curtain was lifted by someone inside and Qin Yuru lunged forward. She cried sadly, "Imperial physician, please save my mother's life!"Her voice sounded extremely woeful.If Doctor Li had not watched the scene before, he would have regarded Qin Yuru as a filial lady who cared about her mother very much. However, since he had known what kind of person Qin Yuru was, he thought Qin Yuru was a hypocrite no matter how thoughtful and filial she behaved now.The very first impression of the so-called First Miss had been formed and it was hard to overturn it."Please wait for a moment and calm down, First Miss. In consideration of Madam Di's situation, it would be better to form a tranquil environment for her to take a rest. It woul
"Nanny Zhou, I am here to serve your madam." As Qin Wanru answered with a smile, she twisted her wrist disapprovingly, which attracted Madam Di's attention again. When Madam Di saw Qin Wanru's wrist, she was enraged by her and tried to reach out to seize Qin Wanru's hand furiously. However, she found Qin Wanru too far to reach."Madam Di also likes this pair of bracelets? So do I! Please give them to me! What's more, I am here to take care of you so we can become well attached to each other by this pair of bracelets hereafter!" Waving the bracelets in front of Madam Di, Qin Wanru said happily.Then she went back to the dresser, opened the drawer and took out a piece of paper casually. Looking through the content, she asked leisurely, "Is it the list of your dowry?"The moment Madam Di heard the question, her face changed severely. She pushed Nanny Zhou heavily.Nanny Zhou stepped forward and supplicated with a bitter smile. "Second
Qin Huaiyong continued to say indifferently, "Your mother just asked Wanru to leave so you have to take care of your mother and don't let her get tired or emotional. She is the one who gives life to you. Even though she treats other badly, she never maltreats you!" Then, he turned around and walked away without any words."No, no, father! How, how can things become like this? How?" Behind him, Qin Yuru exclaimed sorrowfully, with a rare accent of indignation.Even so, Qin Huaiyong ignored her and kept walking!Since Qin Wanru came back from Madam Di's Yulan Pavilion, she went back to Xinning Pavilion first and was surprised to find Shui Ruolan was there! Seeing Qin Wanru back, Shui Ruolan quickly checked her around and finally relaxed when knowing Qin Wanru was alright.She then let her sit beside her and asked a servant girl to serve a cup of tea. "Wanru, is there any problem?" she asked gently."Nothing. Father asked
Shui Ruolan stopped and stared at Qin Wanru with a gloomy look. "Wanru, do you know what you are talking about?" she asked seriously.Qin Wanru's reaction surprised Shui Ruolan in that she had supposed that Qin Wanru might not like Qi Tianyu but she didn't expect that Wanru would refuse this suggestion so pointedly by burning her bridges behind.Qin Wanru looked at Shui Ruolan and answered calmly, "Mother, I know father's plan. Things have become like this or should we still consider him as a sincere friend? Everybody knows Qin Yuru has affairs with Qi Tianyu in Jiangzhou. However, as a man, can Qi Tianyu really put down the knot in his heart since the wedding was canceled and he was involved in that scandal?""So you mean Qi Tianyu has a secret?" Shui Ruolan was astonished and then frowned."Mother, you was in Jiangzhou and you saw him before. As a man, can he really be willing to put himself at a disadvantage? Qin Yuru deceived m
"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
