"Madam Di has been locked up as before. No one comes to see her other than some people sent by Duke Yong's Mansion, and Yuru seldom comes!" When Old Madam Qin spoke of Madam Di, the smile on her face faded away.
Shao Wanru understood what Old Madam Qin meant. Now Madam Di was really a nobody in Qin's Mansion and was no longer a threat to Shui Ruolan. Nevertheless, since Duke Yong's Mansion still sent some people to see her, it meant that they still attached great importance to her. So Qin's Mansion could not be too harsh on her and just locked her up.
And she would not be treated unfairly in everyday food and clothing.
Someone like Qin Yuru probably would not show great gratitude towards her birth mother.
"Grandma, can I meet Madam Di?" After thinking for a while, Shao Wanru finally raised her watery eyes and asked softly.
"You want to see Madam Di?" Old Madam Qin asked with a frown, wondering why Shao Wanru wanted to
In the beginning, Qing Xue had been forced to come back to serve Madam Di. At that time, she had had no choice but to do so and she had been willing to work for Shao Wanru secretly.But later, things had happened one after another. The biggest change was that Shao Wanru had become a mistress of Duke Xing's Mansion, and then she had been to the Yuhui Nunnery to cultivate in seclusion and had no longer meddled in the affairs of Qin's Mansion.Madam Di had also been so seriously injured at that time that she could hardly survive. It had not been expected that she would torture the people around her so viciously. It was unexpected for Shao Wanru that Madam Di could torture all the people around her like that. Needless to say, Duke Yong's Mansion had also been involved in that.Duke Yong's Mansion seemed to be in decline and unremarkable, but it seemed to be everywhere!The interests of Qin's Mansion and Duke Yong's Mansion had always b
"Uncle, if you are concerned, you can ask the servant to follow me. I will talk to Fifth Miss Shao just for a short while!" Qi Tianyu said politely.Since he had said that, for the sake of Magistrate Qi, Qin Huaiyong didn't refuse. He could only nod and ask the servant to lead Qi Tianyu to see Shao Wanru.Then he sat alone in the study for a long time silently.Since when had those things all gone wrong? At that time, he couldn't even figure out the direction. Sometimes, he would even doubt if what he had done was right or wrong.He was a military general, and he had been annealed on the battlefield. He had always been determined. When he had already chosen the direction, he would rush in a certain direction, but at that moment he was a little confused...Shao Wanru returned to Zhifang Pavilion, where she had not been for a long time. Everything in Zhifang Pavilion was still the same. There were not many people in the
Yujie, who was standing behind Shao Wanru, glared at Qi Tianyu angrily and said, "Forgive you? Your Excellency, you must be joking. My Miss has been framed by you all this time. She has almost been utterly discredited several times. Is that forgivable?"She disliked Qi Tianyu and Qi Rongzhi very much. They were not good people."Yujie!" Shao Wanru scolded Yujie in a low voice.Although Yujie was not convinced, she still shut her mouth angrily and stared at Qi Tianyu with vigilance, for fear that he would do something bad again.In Yujie's heart, Qi Tianyu was a cunning, fierce wolf. Who knew when he would show his fangs?Qi Tianyu didn't seem to hear Yujie's abusive words. He looked at Shao Wanru with a bitter smile and asked softly, "Fifth Miss, is that what you think of me?"The girl in front of him was no longer the lovely, childish little girl three years ago. Shao Wanru, who had grown up, had already
Qing Xue didn't know the situation inside. Now that she had found a pretext to talk about it, she naturally asked with a smile and curiosity, "Is the gardener in our mansion an outsider? Shouldn't he be a servant in our mansion?"When they were in Jiangzhou, the gardeners in General's Mansion were all servants in the mansion."Our gardeners used to be servants in our mansion, but since Duke Yong's Mansion sent a few precious flowers here, we had to find skilled gardeners outside." The old maid guarding the door happened to be bored. She didn't feel that Qing Xue was annoying, so she explained to her in detail."Why did Duke Yong's Mansion send flowers to our mansion?" Qing Xue's eyes widened."You little girl... have you just entered the mansion? I haven't heard of any new servants in the mansion recently!" The old maid guarding the door was stunned by Qing Xue's ignorant look. She looked Qing Xue up and down in astonishment. She r
"Your Highness Prince Xin, please spare me!" The servant girl knelt down in front of Chu Liuxin and kowtowed to him, grabbing the lower hem of his robe."Alright, alright, it's not a big deal!" Chu Liuxin could not disengage his robe from the servant girl, which really made him uncomfortable. Looking at the beautiful servant girl, he found that her face was pale with fear and her whole body was trembling. He felt that she was pathetic, so he said to Eunuch Liu helplessly, "Eunuch Liu, pull her away!"Eunuch Liu came over to pull the servant girl kneeling on the ground, but the servant girl was even more scared. She pulled the lower hem of Chu Liuxin's robe and refused to let go."Stop pulling!" Chu Liuxin was pulled so hard that he almost fell down. Seeing that it didn't work for the current situation, he couldn't help but stop Eunuch Liu.Eunuch Liu had to retreat."Let go of me. I won't blame you!" Chu Liuxin gently
Xiao Xuanzi stood in front of the gate of Duke Xing's Mansion, looked at the gift boxes in his hand and at Duke Xing's Mansion in front of him, sighed helplessly and thought that now he was also sent to deliver gifts.Well, he shouldn't have made fun of Prince Xin in secret before. Now it was his turn to be sent to deliver gifts. Thinking of this, he felt inexplicable grievances.He went to the gate with two little eunuchs, and one of the little eunuchs stepped forward to knock on the door. As the door was opened, a servant of Duke Xing's Mansion came out. When he saw a little eunuch outside, he was immediately astonished and showed a flattering smile."Hearing that the Fifth Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion has not fully recovered yet after saving our master Prince Chen, our master sent Eunuch Xiao Xuanzi to deliver some medicinal materials to her!" the little eunuch said in a sharp voice.Now everyone in Duke Xing's Mansion knew that
"Say it again!" Shao Yanru said in a sharp voice, no longer as calm and elegant as usual.If she was a woman who couldn't have any children, why bother to make every attempt to marry into the imperial palace?"First Miss, there... there is really no special way to fix that!" Doctor Qiu said with a frown and shook his head helplessly.Shuqi pleaded with her face changing dramatically, "Doctor Qiu, everyone says that you have extraordinary medical skills and your own way of treating patients. Can't you think of a way different from that of other doctors?"Moyan also pleaded, "Doctor Qiu, I beg you to save my master, despite a little harm..."Before Moyan finished her words, she was panic-stricken with her face turning pale and her eyes filled with panic. She had crossed the line. As a maid, how could she make a decision for her master and even say something like that!"Despite any harm that might be done to
"The doctor invited to treat the First Miss? Is it true?" Qu Le said in disbelief. She looked around and did not find any manservant or maid. "Why is there no one showing you the way out since you are invited to treat the First Miss?"Since he was a doctor invited here, there certainly would be someone seeing him off. But now, Doctor Qiu was alone.It actually was reasonable. Doctor Qiu had lived in the mansion for nearly three years and was usually alone. Shao Yanru didn't think of sending someone to see him off, while he found nothing wrong about it. But he couldn't answer Qu Le's questions at the moment.Just now, he deliberately mentioned the First Miss so that he could conveniently avoid arousing suspicion and they could let him pass quickly. But now, it was a little hard for him to explain it.He could only say vaguely, "I have come to your mansion often to treat patients, so I don't need anyone to show the way out. If you do
"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
