Shao Caihuan was taken out of the imperial palace after lunch!
Shao Wanru and Shao Yanru walked her all the way to the palace gate and watched her leave slowly with the help of two palace maids on each side of hers followed by an imperial physician.
With those red spots all over her body, she certainly could not attend the consort selection, and it would even be difficult to restore her face.
…
"Fifth Sister, let's go back!" Seeing Shao Caihuan's figure disappear behind the palace gate, Shao Yanru turned around and said to Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru glanced at Shao Yanru's face and found she looked a little tired with a trace of haggardness in her eyes.
Shao Wanru sneered and was about to speak when she suddenly heard someone crying behind her. The two of them turned around and saw three people walking towards them. The one in front was Wang Yuxin. However, the arrogant and rude Miss from the Vice Minis
After saying that, Shao Wanru glanced at Wang Yuxin contemptuously and then walked back to the imperial palace in an extremely arrogant manner."Fifth Sister, wait for me!" Shao Yanru said. At this time, she certainly couldn't stay any longer. Shao Caihuan was poisoned because of Wang Yuxin, so it was obviously inappropriate for her to stay and see Wang Yuxin off reluctantly!Wang Yuxin's face turned livid and then red from anger. When Shao Yanru passed by her, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind and she looked at Shao Yanru's back in horror.She originally did not think that Shao Yanru had anything to do with it, but Shao Wanru's words just reminded her that she indeed heard that Shao Wanru spoke ill of her in private from a friend of hers, to whom she had always been close, and she didn't doubt Shao Yanru at first.However, Shao Wanru's words just enlightened her.She went weak, feeling dizzy and cold
Shao Wanru had lived a peaceful life these days. She had only a few acquaintances here, so she didn't care about the other Misses' staying away from her. Moreover, given that she was the victim rather than the culprit, other Misses still looked at her with kindness. Although they thought that her gorgeous appearance made her their strong opponent, she was still much less dangerous than Shao Yanru!Shao Wanru gradually got acquainted with a female painter, who even invited her to her place for a chat when she was at leisure.The female painter was known as Madam Ou, and she was the wife of a petty official. After her husband passed away, she, who had no kids, was put forward as a painter portraying the candidates in the imperial palace.Madam Ou had been a famous talented lady in the capital city when she was young. However, she didn't come from a noble family, so she only married a petty official.She, a childless widow, was
It became quiet in the room, and only Shao Wanru's sobs could be heard occasionally.Shao Wanru lowered her head and blushed. After a moment of confusion, she discovered the two of them were so intimate at the moment. Chu Liuchen sat in the rattan chair, holding her, who was crying bitterly, in his arms.When she indulged in crying just now, she didn't notice it. Now she, who had returned to herself, felt ashamed and buried her head deeply. In fact, she didn't feel like crying now and was wondering how to get out of this awkward situation."What's going on? Are you done with it?" Chu Liuchen looked down at Shao Wanru, who almost buried her entire face in his arms, and asked her. He was in a good mood, showed an elegant and soft smile and reached out to touch Shao Wanru's hair, which made her heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.With her fair and tender fingers trembling, she slowly let go of Chu Liuche
"Are you angry?" Seeing Shao Wanru turn her face away in annoyance, Chu Liuchen stopped teasing her. He reached out to touch Shao Wanru's messy hair and spoke softly, which reminded Shao Wanru of his fat cat. Did he also pet it in this way?"Don't be angry. Tell me what you want. Have you gotten used to the life in the imperial palace? If you aren't used to it, I can ask Imperial Grandmother to allow you to live in her place. There used to be candidates living with the Empress Dowager." Chu Liuchen asked.Knowing that he was afraid that she would have a hard time in the Chuxiu Palace, she was moved. She lowered her head, shook her head, and said, "You don't have to trouble the Empress Dowager. I'm fine with the life in the Chuxiu Palace, which is far away from the harem. It's not a good thing to live too close to the harem!"The life around the Empress Dowager might not be peaceful. In particular, if she moved to live with the Empress Do
Shao Wanru had to pass through Shao Yanru's room before entering her room.When they arrived at the door of Shao Yanru's room, a little eunuch came out in a hurry and almost bumped into Shao Wanru. Yujie pulled her to take a step back so that the little eunuch didn't bump into her.The little eunuch didn't expect to come across someone here. After freezing for a moment, he suddenly bowed to Shao Wanru and asked with a smile, "Is this the Fifth Miss Shao from Duke Xing's Mansion?""Exactly!" Yujie said.Shao Wanru looked the little eunuch up and down, wondering if the little eunuch unfamiliar to her was sent by Chu Liuyue. Now that he sent a little eunuch here, did it indicate that he thought highly of Shao Yanru?"Fifth Miss, my master wants to ask you something about the First Miss Shao. Fifth Miss, please follow me!" The little eunuch said with a smile. It seemed that he came out to lead Shao Wanru to meet Chu
"Shut up!" Shao Yanru said in an icy voice.Shuqi hurriedly shut her mouth, pulled herself together, closed the door, and walked up to the window.A corner of the gauze curtain in front of the window was lifted. The window was facing the corridor outside and the pavilion where Prince Yue was."Miss, Prince Yue stopped the Fifth Miss and didn't let her go!" Shuqi came up to Shao Yanru, who was standing in front of the window and lifting the curtain to peek at Chu Liuyue and Shao Wanru, and reported in a low voice.Shao Yanru got furious with her face as gloomy as the peaceful sky before a storm. She stood motionlessly in front of the window and stared quietly at the pavilion outside the window.In the pavilion, Shao Wanru was delicate and gorgeous, while Chu Liuyue was handsome and noble. They were both charming, looking like a perfect couple. But Shao Yanru stared at them with her eyes full of resentment.
Shao Yanru calmed herself down and gritted her teeth secretly. However, she forced a smile, leaned forward, and said softly, "Thank you, Fifth Sister. I'm fine now!"Seeing Shao Yanru's face get tense from smiling, Shao Wanru suddenly showed a smile that was inexplicably dazzling and disagreeable in Shao Yanru's eyes. She even sensed a trace of shyness in Shao Wanru's smile which made Shao Wanru look like those Misses from aristocratic families who would like to talk about Chu Liuyue but refrained.In the past, when she saw this kind of Misses, she was extremely disdainful of them and even considered herself superior to them. Chu Liuyue was an unattainable dream to them, but he was very close to her. As long as she nodded her approval, she could marry Chu Liuyue.But at the sight of Shao Wanru's smile at the moment, she almost failed to maintain her stiff smile."Fifth Sister, you seem to be joyful?" She involuntarily blurte
"Was Prince Yue unwilling to come?" Shao Yanru said with a gloomy face."Prince meant that you don't have to worry, Miss. He... will... will figure it out..." Shuqi stammered. The so-called meaning was roughly summarized by herself."What about Shao Wanru?" Shao Yanru asked, and her eyes were almost overflowing with malice. She felt that it was all Shao Wanru's fault, because Prince Yue would not have been like this before. It was definitely because of Shao Wanru. She hated Shao Wanru so much that she wanted to kill her right now. But she also knew that it was not the right time to hurt Shao Wanru."Fifth Miss was in the pavilion where she had talked to Prince Yue just now. She looked happy and even prepared some tea and snacks!" Shuqi said angrily. Only after she had finished her words did she find that she had added the words "where she had talked to Prince Yue".So she was a little flustered for a moment and hurriedly low
"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
