The Emperor looked at Prince Cheng who kept kowtowing to him in terror and then found his Second Son look pale. "Get up." The Emperor sighed as his expression softened slightly.
There were eunuchs immediately coming to them and hurriedly helping Prince Cheng and Prince Zhou get up.
Later, the Emperor granted them two seats and they sat down.
"Although Qin Huaiyong's eldest daughter does behave in an unashamed manner, not every woman is like her actually. After all, women like her are a minority. You can't refuse to get married or to have children because of this woman." The Emperor tried to find ways to mollify Prince Cheng who now looked frightened.
Since the Emperor persuaded him not to refuse to get married, Prince Cheng had to suspend this matter, even though he was quite reluctant to make compromises. "Big brother, at least I don't want to get married now!"
He had checked those women the Empress introduced to him.
"You want to raise your granddaughter on your own?" Empress Dowager looked at Rui'an Great Elder Princess in surprise. It is generally believed that it was the paternal family who should raise the granddaughter and, besides, it was unreasonable to let the maternal side raise the granddaughter, especially when people of the paternal family were still alive. No matter how Empress Dowager sympathized with Rui'an Great Elder Princess, she now scowled heavily.Duke Xing's Mansion was an aristocratic family while support from the nobility was the root of the country."Empress Dowager, Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion dislikes my granddaughter. She even expressed her aversion to Zhuozhuo in front of everyone at that time. Empress Dowager, if, if I, Zhuozhuo's grandmother is unable to back her up, how, how can she survive in Duke Xing's Mansion on her own?"Rui'an Great Elder Princess got red-rimmed eyes as it was exactly how she felt or thought.
Qin Wanru had been dreaming.Every scene of her dreams was disordered and snatchy. The final scene was that Chu Liuchen stared at her when standing in the red imperial palace. Her stiff and contorted body was cut in half and they constituted a weird posture. There was blood everywhere.However, a voice calling "Zhuozhuo, Zhuozhuo" suddenly sounded in the bloody scene.It sounded desperate and painful, seeming that the whole world was going to be ruined.She suddenly sat bolt upright, sweating heavily. She stared at a point in the air and felt everywhere was stained with her blood. The last scene in her dream was the place where she was killed..."Zhuozhuo, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable?" A gentle but anxious voice sounded in her ears. The voice was true. It was different from those voices which sounded desperate and made her blood freeze in her dreams.Turning her stiff neck, Qin Wanru looked asi
When Rui'an Great Elder Princess left, four strong old maids guarded the door.Since her granddaughter hoped they would finish this task faster, then Duke Xing's Mansion must hurry up. Otherwise, if they wanted a problem, then she would give them one! It was different from what they had reached a consensus on, it would be reasonable for her to say Duke Xing's Mansion was reluctant to accept her biological granddaughter as one of their family member.Seeing Rui'an Great Elder Princess leaving, Qin Wanru looked at Yujie. The latter then looked at four strong old maids outside the room and found they were obedient and were all standing outside the room. There was a distance between them and the room. It was perfect as they would not hear their conversation in the room while they could protect Qin Wanru.They were reliable! They knew the drill.Taking a few steps forward, Yujie lowered her voice and said, "Miss, Qing Yue says that Firs
Qin Yuru's carriage had been left in Duke Xing's Mansion, which was a flaw left here!At that time, after Qin Yuru's true feature had been revealed, all the people of Qin's Mansion left. Old Madam had come on her own carriage. In that case, she naturally had no face to stay in Duke Xing's Mansion, so Old Madam definitely took Qin Yuru to leave together on her own carriage. At that moment, no one would care about the carriage that Qin Yuru had taken to come here before.Of course, even if she had thought of the carriage, she would not have the face to mention the previous one.That carriage would be bound to leave in Duke Xing's Mansion. This was another reason why Qin Wanru had asked Old Madam Qin to come here. She could take away Qin Yuru, whose true feature had been exposed at that time.Everything had been closely linked, and Qin Wanru had almost anticipated all the people's reactions. Then the next thing to do was to send this
The three bright characters at the entrance of the "Qu Huan Courtyard" were extremely quaint and natural. At a glance, you can see the strength of the calligraphy.Standing at the door, she looked at the size of the courtyard, which was about half larger than that of Old Madam Qin when she was in Qin's Mansion. She could tell that this was one of the main courtyards."Who originally lived here?" Qin Wanru asked after standing still."Nobody lived here before. They originally wanted to arrange for First Miss to live here, but First Miss didn't like to be too far away from Madam. So this yard is vacant." The old maid in charge explained cleverly.Qin Wanru walked into the yard, and there were two servant girls in the yard. When they saw Qin Wanru coming in, they hurriedly saluted.A group of people walked to the open main house and entered the house, where they saw exquisite mahogany furniture and carved cases.
While Old Madam and Rui'an Great Elder Princess were arguing, Madam of Duke Xing was waiting in the wing room beside. After Rui'an Great Elder Princess entered the door, she, who was having a conversation with Old Madam, was sent out.Their conversation was interrupted, and she could only step aside.Sitting in the wing room and waiting, Madam of Duke Xing showed a trace of ferociousness and unwillingness on her face from time to time. She was just a step away from achieving her goal.If Qin Yuru took Qin Wanru's place and entered Duke Xing's Mansion, she could make her do anything she wanted in the future, and Shao Yuanhao would be under her control. Even if Shao Yuanhao died, Rui'an Great Elder Princess would not make a last desperate effort to fight against Duke Xing's Mansion. After all, the suspected daughter of the former Heir of Duke Xing's Mansion was still in Duke Xing's Mansion, wasn't she?But now her plan was ruined by
The old maid threatened Shao Caihuan and Shao Cailing with Old Madam. In the past, they would definitely walk away on hearing these words.But now the old maid's words even made them more suspicious. Their Mother had been injured and still stayed in bed. The doctor said that she had to recuperate for at least half a year. Moreover, the foundation of her body had been hurt, which was likely to make her susceptible to diseases in future. Seeing their Mother suffer, the two sisters burst into anger. Now they had got a rough idea of Qin Yuru's plotting against their Mother.With the evidence right in front of them, how could they give up?"What if we insist on having a look at it?" Shao Cailing said insolently."It's inappropriate. Both Madam and Old Madam won't like it," the old maid said with a stiff smile."Pull her away!" Shao Cailing said with her gaze falling on a carriage behind the old maid. It was not the carriage
Old Madam asked after hesitating for a while. Glancing over Rui'an Great Elder Princess who had returned to the room, she really wanted to drive her away. She was at a disadvantageous position when arguing with Rui'an Great Elder Princess just now, so at this moment she was more reluctant to see Rui'an Great Elder Princess listen to the affairs of their mansion.However, Rui'an Great Elder Princess was sitting there, not seeming to leave soon. Moreover, they had mentioned that Qin Yuru intended to pretend to be the Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion during their conversation. Even if she insisted on staying, it was reasonable. Knowing that Rui'an Great Elder Princess would definitely stay and listen to their conversation about what had happened today, Old Madam became sullen, but had to ask."Grandma, there are several cotton quilts in Qin Yuru's carriage!" Shao Caihuan gnashed her teeth and said.Everyone was stunned for a moment and did not understa
"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
