Shuqi waited outside, rubbing her hands from time to time, with her heart torn with anxiety. Suddenly, she saw someone coming from the distance with a lantern, so she hurriedly reached out and to knock on the door of the hall and said in a low voice, "Miss, Miss, they are coming. Come out quickly!"
Hearing no response from inside, Shuqi reached out to knock on the door again and said anxiously with her face changing dramatically, "Miss, Miss! Hurry up."
She looked up and found that a group of people had come over. Someone seemed to have seen her and reached out to point at her. Shuqi had no time to think about something else and hurried into the hall.
It was so dark in the hall that she couldn't see her hand in front of her. After taking only a few steps, Shuqi almost tripped over something and fell. She hurriedly reached out to hold the pillar beside her and said with her head covered with sweat in the dark, "Miss, First Miss, are you here? Fi
"It's not the First Miss Shao but the Fifth Miss Shao who met you in secret? And you have a letter from her. That's great. Let me have a look!" Qiu Yu, who came after Shao Wanru, suddenly felt as if he came back to life. He reached out to grab the letter, and burst into laughter and said after opening the letter and reading it, "It's the letter for asking the First Young Master Qi to meet here indeed. Look, even the time and location are clearly stated."After saying that, Qiu Yu glanced at Shao Wanru scornfully. He had thought that Shao Wanru was a pure girl. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a lascivious girl. For fear that Shao Wanru would take the letter away so that others couldn't see it, he handed it to the man beside him. After passing it around, all the officials stared at Shao Wanru with increasing disdain in their eyes.From the graceful handwriting of a lady, they could tell at a glance that Shao Wanru asked a man to meet her in secret in the l
She pushed the door open, only to see Qu Le and Qing'er in the courtyard.After looking around and finding no man, Shuqi stepped forward angrily and said, "Tell me, who's the man in the courtyard just now?""Man?" Qu Le and Qing'er exchanged glances and seemed to have no idea what Shuqi was talking about. They looked at Shao Yanru's gloomy face and blinked to indicate that they didn't understand."How dare you deny it! The First Miss and I clearly heard Qu Le was talking with a man just now!" Shuqi said and reached out to point at Qu Le with her fingertip almost touching Qu Le's nose, acting like an angry lady coming to catch Qu Le meeting a man.Qu Le didn't understand at first, and then suddenly laughed. Qing'er also laughed bending beneath.Qu Le reached out to slap Shuqi's hand away and said with a chuckle, "Do you want to ask... which man I was talking to... right?""Tell me!" Shuqi didn't dare to loo
Was he angry? He almost failed to force a smile!"Your Highness, have you been implicated after dealing with the black-clad men?" Sensing his anger, Shao Wanru asked with concern. Although Shao Wanru did not know the truth, it was obvious that more than one person got involved in setting up and spoiling the trap!In the past few days, the officials of the Ministry of Justice had blockaded the entire Yuhui Nunnery. So many of them came and went, seeming to have searched the entire Yuhui Nunnery. However, Shao Wanru knew that they had actually searched the area on the other side of the high wall once. After that, the door was closed, and they focused on searching the area on this side of the high wall.It seemed to have nothing to do with the imperial concubines living behind the high wall!The area on the other side of the high wall seemed to have been searched strictly, but the actual situation turned out to be just the opposite. I
"Your Highness, is this passage really beneath my room?" Shao Wanru said with her hand on the window and half of her body leaned against Chu Liuchen. Although she had come up, she still felt weak all over. It was so horrifying that she had never thought of it.There was a passage beneath her silence room. If it was known by others, what a horrifying news would it be?"It has nothing to do with you for the time being!" Chu Liuchen said with a smile, feeling good with a girl's soft and fragrant body in his arms."When will it have anything to do with me?" Shao Wanru asked sensitively and reached out to push Chu Liuchen. She felt that her feet had regained a little strength."Maybe it will never have anything to do with you, or maybe it will have something to do with you in the future!" Chu Liuchen said meaningfully. He let go of Shao Wanru's slender waist so that she could breathe deeply."Does it have anything to do wit
"Will Shao Yanru expose it?" Shao Wanru thought for a moment, rolled her watery eyes, and asked."She doesn't dare!" Chu Liuchen suddenly said meaningfully.It meant that if she didn't expose it, Shao Yanru would definitely not take the initiative to do that. After all, the hole was now in Shao Yanru's main room. Although Shao Yanru had gone down the mountain long before, Shao Yanru was the owner of the main room anyway. She couldn't stay out of it, but Shao Yanru couldn't either.Now Shao Yanru knew something about it, and so did she. But neither of them knew who was behind it. In this respect, they were on equal terms. In this case, she could apply the original plan to deal with Shao Yanru. With her watery eyes blinking twice and her long eyelashes drooping slightly, she thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. You'd better go back early!"There were some things in which she did not want to interfere too
Speaking of the Fifth Miss, Qiu Yu suddenly became angry. It was obvious that the lady showing up in the hall was not the First Miss Shao, but the Fifth Miss kept suggesting that it was the First Miss Shao. The Fifth Miss, who was so vicious at such a young age, was really not a good girl.He wanted to rebuke her directly. However, at the thought of sending the ointment to his sweetheart, he didn't want to ruin such a good opportunity, so he nodded at once."I will instruct someone to send it here after returning. First Miss Shao, please accept it and consider it a chance for me to make amends!" After finishing speaking, Qiu Yu bowed respectfully to Shao Yanru, who was behind the gauze curtain, snorted coldly at Shao Wanru without talking to her, and then turned to leave with the doctor.The First Miss Shao was a good girl. He thought that he should find an opportunity to remind her to be cautious of the Fifth Miss Shao. Otherwise, her kindness
Although Rui'an Great Elder Princess had always been arrogant and strident in front of others, she was actually a cautious person. She said that because she was concerned about Shao Wanru.The First Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion was the most outstanding. Everyone in the capital city knew that she was a gorgeous girl of decorous bearing. Moreover, she was the lineal eldest daughter of Duke Xing. In any respect, she was excellent. It could even be said that there was no other Miss better than her in the whole capital city.However, Rui'an Great Elder Princess's granddaughter was more outstanding than her.In terms of appearance, Rui'an Great Elder Princess considered her granddaughter really good-looking, and she didn't think so out of partiality. Glancing at the red lips and dark watery eyes on her granddaughter's delicate face, anyone could tell how exceedingly gorgeous and charming her granddaughter was. Nevertheless, her granddaughter didn't lo
When Shao Yanru came, Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen were sitting opposite on the mat. Qu Le stepped back to the door after serving tea. Xiao Xuanzi stood beside her with a smile, looking quite amiable."Why are you here, Your Highness?" Shao Wanru looked Chu Liuchen up and down and asked in confusion."Because I want to come here!" Chu Liuchen raised his pretty eyes and said inadvertently."Your Highness, didn't you say..." Came now a cautious inquiry from Shao Wanru.Before she finished her words, they heard Qu Le's voice from the door, "I pay you my respects, First Miss!"She slowly closed her cherry mouth and shifted her gaze from Chu Liuchen to the door."Has your master got up?" Shao Yanru said gently in a soft and pleasant voice."My master has got up, but..." Qu Le seemed to intend to stop her from entering the room, but Shao Yanru interrupted her gently, "That's good. I'm going inside to
"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
