When the carriage passed the shop, Qin Wanru looked serious. She should have seen this man in her last life for many times. When his figure flashed in front of her, even though it was only a vague profile, she felt quite familiar with him. However, she could remember nothing when she tried her best to search for information about this man in her mind.
"Miss, Miss?" Yujie's voice brought her back.
"What?" She tilted her head to look at Yujie and asked.
"Miss, why are they still interrogating?" Yujie asked as she pointed at several soldiers in surprise.
The carriage was running forward when some soldiers appeared in front of them. Then it stopped quickly.
"What is going on?" Qin Yuru opened her eyes and asked.
Mei Xue lifted the curtain and checked. She answered, "Miss, the road is blocked. There are many other carriages in front of us."
"Get down and see what is going on." Thinking for a while,
"Your Highness, actually not all girls are like this. Some are very virtuous and generous, and they will not do such vicious things!" The servant stopped for a moment and said cautiously.The Prince waved his hand and said, "I heard that Ningyuan Army General's wife is the Miss of Duke Yong's Mansion. Even a Miss from an aristocratic family, a family of influential officials, is like this. Other women will be even worse!""Your Highness, only this Madam is vicious. There is no such matter in other families!" The servant continued to persuade him."No such matter?" The Prince coldly raised the corner of his mouth. "It is just because others have done this in a more secretive way. Although you do not know this and everything seems to be fine, it does not mean that this society is really peaceful.""Your Highness..."The servant wanted to say more but was interrupted by him bluntly. He glanced at the end of the long stree
That was Shao Jie'er, Second Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion, who was a non-lineal daughter. They had met in the palace before.The carriage of Duke Xing's Mansion happened to be parked beside that of Qin's Mansion. What a coincidence!Standing beside Shao Jie'er was another Miss, Shao Caihuan, the lineal daughter of the third branch of Duke Xing's Mansion. Qin Wanru also knew her.There were three branches in Duke Xing's Mansion. Shao Yunhao was the only one in the first branch now. In the second one, there was a lineal son and a lineal daughter, as well as a non-lineal daughter. And Shao Caihuan, now in front of her, was the lineal daughter of the third branch and was Third Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion.Shao Caihuan was very arrogant and she often looked up at others. Now, she saw that Shao Jie'er was still talking, so she became a little impatient and snorted. "Second Sister, can we go now?""Okay, okay, let's go now. Th
"Only Prince Zhou and Prince Chen?" Prince Cheng frowned tightly."Yes, only these two Princes. There were no other people who were particularly eye-catching!" said Xiqi."Did Great Elder Princess come?" Prince Cheng no longer asked about the matter, but changed a topic."Great Elder Princess had come just now. And she was greeting female guests in it. Just now she also instructed me to bring people over here for a while and let Prince take a good look clearly. She said Prince should pick a few of them that you liked!"Xiqi reported.There was no female elders or concubine of Prince Cheng in Prince Cheng's mansion. There must be someone to greet so many Misses from aristocratic families. Rui'an Great Elder Princess was his elder. So it was appropriate to greet the Misses for him in the inner court. In addition, considering her identity, if she thought someone was good, Prince Cheng would listen to her."As
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Liuchen smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, do you have a jade like this? This was what Imperial Grandmother awarded to Uncle just now. I forgot to give it to you! If Imperial Grandmother knows that I have done this wrong, she will probably punish me!"Prince Cheng pouted slightly with a frozen smile. "So is this jade supposed to be mine? It is my jade that has fallen down. No wonder he looks so carefree."No one would believe the so-called punishment!Everyone knew how much Empress Dowager valued him. She would not punish him just because of a small jade."Third brother, Imperial Grandmother has also given Uncle another jade before, but where does this one come from?" Prince Zhou sourly said on the side.He had known nothing about this jade. He only saw Chu Liuchen playing with it in his hand all the way and thought that he might have found it somewhere else and might just pl
"Master, rest assured. I am going to notify her now!" Xiao Xuanzi nodded again and again, and smiled. He knew that his master treated Second Miss Qin differently. When Prince Cheng Your Highness was about to say which Miss he liked just now, the jade in his master's hands was broken.That jade had been held in the hands of his master before. How could it break so easily!It was just the right time to break!Xiao Xuanzi first went to find Rui'an Great Elder Princess and it was easy to find her. She was in the middle flower hall. Rui'an Great Elder Princess was the host to treat these Misses from aristocratic family today.All the Misses who came here were not led by their Madams. All of them looked very shy. Although there were Misses who had infinite thoughts about Prince Cheng, there were also some who felt that they had nothing to do with the concubine selection. But because these Misses were still young, they dared not to be rec
"First Miss of Qin's Mansion?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess frowned mildly and stared around."She was walking ahead of me! I walked slowly as I was attracted by the view of Prince Cheng's Mansion. Anyway, she should have been here as she had left first, but where is she now?" asked Qin Wanru in surprise.The consort selection was held today while everyone had no idea about it. All people got off their carriages first and then walked into the mansion. If there had been any problems or plans, they should have asked after coming in and they could not go directly to appreciate the garden impolitely.Moreover, those who came here mostly were ladies from aristocratic families and they were clear that their purpose was Prince Cheng's consort selection. Thus, they would not act obtrusively because it would be hard to know what to do if they offended Prince Cheng!"Servants! Find First Miss Qin!" Rui'an Great Elder Princess gave an order in
Qin Yuru did have a dirty little secret on the way to Prince Cheng's Mansion so she then left on her own in a hurry.By the way, since she now came to dislike Di Yan strongly, why not try her best to marry up if possible?She had thought about it carefully; if she impressed Prince Cheng positively, it was still possible for her to be his vice consort or just a concubine with her background and the support from Duke Xing's Mansion, even if she could not win the position of Princess Consort. Thus, for Qin Yuru, it would not matter too much even though she had an engagement with others because she had no desire to the title of Prince Cheng's Consort.It seemed that her current idea and Ning Caixian's had at least one thing in common.It would not affect her too much even if her reputation was ruined. Anyway, she didn't want the position of Princess Consort. Was she able to marry Prince Cheng and give birth to a boy, it would be possib
When Qin Yuru stopped, Shao Jie'er quickly said, "Fine, it is a good idea. I will tell my, eh, mother. As for the other things, my mother will deal with them!""I sure appreciate, Second Miss Shao!" Qin Yuru was overjoyed because she just completed a major task that was to get in touch with people of Duke Xing's Mansion when she finally was able to walk out of Qin's Mansion. Even though the one was not Madam of Duke Xing whom she wanted to contact, it could also be regarded as a good omen!"My pleasure. You know, if you are accepted by Duke Xing's Mansion, we will be good sisters!" Shao Jie'er smiled and said as she stood up, "I have to leave now for my third sister must be looking for me!""Great. I think it is better for us not to leave here together, so I will wait for another moment here and then leave!" Qin Yuru answered with a smile and also stood up. Since she had finished the task Nanny Huang gave her, she now was able to do her own thi
"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
