"A doctor surnamed Qiu?" In the Imperial Institute of Medicine, Chu Liuchen leaned against a couch and asked. He had been fine since he woke up, but the Empress Dowager was worried about him, so she asked him to stay in the imperial palace.
"Yes, this man surnamed Qiu and Mingqiu Nun are from the same sect, but he has been driven out of the sect long before!" Xiao Xuanzi, who served him beside him, said.
Chu Liuchen narrowed his eyes, supported his forehead with his hand and said, "Chu Liuzhou asked the doctor from Duke Xing. Duke Xing's Mansion is in a mess now, and Duke Xing secretly sent someone to watch over his nephew!"
"Yes, master, Duke Xing's Mansion is in a total mess now!" Xiao Xuanzi said with a smile. He had always disliked Duke Xing's Mansion, so he was glad to see Duke Xing's Mansion in a mess. "Master, shall we seize this man surnamed Wang and snatch the thing from him?"
Chu Liuchen shook his head and said, "We don't
Madam? Shao Wanru smiled slightly and continued looking at the teacup in her hand. Ning Xueqing, a concubine who could be addressed as Madam, was obviously powerful in the Wang's Mansion.In the last life, Wang Shengxue didn't want to marry Ning Xueqing at first, but she managed to marry him!Ning Xueqing, who seemed to be shocked, smiled apologetically at Old Madam, and then dragged the old maid aside and asked, "What happened?"She didn't talk loudly, but it was so quiet in the living room that the others could vaguely hear it. Although they were drinking tea, they all strained their ears to listen to the conversation between Ning Xueqing and the old maid."Ma... Madam... the corpse seemed to come back to life..." the old maid said in astonishment and panic.All the others in the living room became nervous. They were all women, so they were most afraid of this kind of thing. What was more, someone among them had a gu
Her words were like a stab into Ning Xueqing's heart.In the past, Ning Xueqing had never thought that one day she would become Wang Shengxue's concubine in such a disgraceful way. What was even more unbearable for her was that her former personal maid also became Wang Shengxue's concubine and was on an equal status with her.It was all because of Duke Xing's Mansion!She gritted her teeth and felt resentful, but she didn't dare to show it on her face and just said with a flattering smile, "Right!""You are quite adaptable to any circumstances!" Shao Wanru looked at her with a trace of incomprehensible coldness in her deep eyes and said, "Second Miss Ning,, are you really content to share a husband with your personal maid and be on an equal footing with her?"She was trying to open Ning Xueqing's old sores again. Ning Xueqing got furious, but considering Shao Wanru's identity, she could only say, "Fifth Miss, you must
When they entered the mourning hall again, it was the time to offer incense. As the most honorable guest, Old Madam was the first to enter the mourning hall, which was too small to accommodate all of them at the same time.Wang Shengxue led Old Madam into the mourning hall, while the five Misses of Duke Xing's Mansion were waiting outside.Old Madam only instructed someone to offer three sticks of incense before she came out with a gloomy face. She had to come today. Considering that she had shown enough respect for the Wang's Mansion by showing up here, she was not willing to do anything else.Ning Xueqing came up to her and said with a smile, "Old Madam, please go to the wing room for a rest. It won't take long for several Misses to offer incense!"Old Madam glanced at her and followed her to the wing room next door without answering her.Wang Shengxue stretched his hand as a hint for Shao Yanru and Shao Jie'er to ge
"Why do you make such a fuss?" Wang Shengxue said grumpily with frown after pulling himself together. Things didn't go well today, so how could he be in a good mood?"The Second Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion beat Concubine Dong and intended to beat Madam!" the maid said anxiously.The Second Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion was Shao Jie'er. Among the Misses of Duke Xing's Mansion, Shao Jie'er was the most inconspicuous in both appearance and identity. The rest of the Misses were all legitimate daughters, no matter they were from the main branch, the second branch or the third branch. Only she was an insignificant daughter of a concubine.How dared she make trouble here for no reason?"Let's go and have a look!" Wang Shengxue said. Then he turned around and strode to the wing room, where Old Madam had stayed for a rest before.Before he entered the wing room, he saw a group of people around the door. There came familiar crying
"What's the matter?" asked the Emperor."Your Majesty, I've found some clues about the case of Prince Zhou's falling at the palace gate caused by a startled horse. Your Majesty, please have a look!" Chu Qing said, took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it respectfully.A eunuch came over to fetch it and then unfolded it on the desk in front of the Emperor after getting back to the Emperor.The Emperor lowered his head and began to read it. As he read it, he became increasingly sullen. When he finished, his face had been livid with anger. He struck the desk heavily with his hand and said harshly, "Continue looking into it. We must find out the truth. How dare an uncivilized small country interfere in our internal affairs!"It was so close to his speculation. How could the Emperor not be angry?"But, I'm afraid... I'm afraid there are some obstacles in my way!" Chu Qing said cautiously."There's n
"Miss, Madame Dong said that the problem has been solved!" Qu Le reported the news she got from someone sent by Madame Dong to Shao Wanru.Shao Wanru smiled slightly as a hint that she got it, and then put down the writing brush in her hand and went aside to wash her hands.Then she walked up to the couch and sat down, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, and then put it down thoughtfully. Yesterday she got the news that it was an officer of the Ministry of Revenue who managed to persuade the Business Department to return the detained goods of her store. This officer didn't have a high position but was quite powerful.The most important thing was that this officer had something to do with Chu Liuyue.Duke Yong worked for Chu Liuyue. In the last life, Chu Liuyue didn't gain power and Duke Yong's Mansion didn't stand out in the end. Although Duke Yong, who followed the lead of Duke Xing's Mansion, was not an important
"Deliver the brocade I just chose to the ancestral hall and put it there when there is no one around!" Shao Wanru walked in and gave Yujie an order in a low voice."Why?" Yujie froze for a moment and asked."Nothing. I just want Madam of Duke Xing to know that Big Sister has been thinking about her and trying hard to save her!" Shao Wanru curved her eyebrows, showed a bright smile, and said with deep eyes. The cloth with the pattern on it should be of Madam of Duke Xing's favorite style, because she had seen Madam of Duke Xing dressed in a similar style of clothes. She had not figured out how to use the cloth when she picked it just now.At this time, the news of the etiquette instructor's arrival inspired her.She decided to give it to Madam of Duke Xing, who would definitely like it.After so many things happened, judging from Shao Yanru's character, Shao Wanru could tell that she would definitely have no time to pay
"Master, look!" Xiao Xuanzi presented a confidential letter and spoke.Chu Liuchen took it and drew the letter out of the envelope. After reading it, he raised the corner of his thin lips and said, "Let them take actions! And find out the spoiler!"There was a faint scent of medicine in the air."Master, do you mean that we should wait and see?" Xiao Xuanzi asked with his eyes wide open."Since neither of them wants peace, I'll let them take action!" Chu Liuchen looked down with a smile and spoke. His long black hair was hanging loose, making him look elegant and beautiful.Under the soft light, the handsome young man smiled gently."Make them fight against each other. If the spies take any unusual actions, kill them all!" Bloodthirsty words came out through his pale lips."What about Duke Xing's Mansion?" Xiao Xuanzi hesitated for a moment and asked."Keep an eye on them. The con
"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
