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
"What's wrong? Won't you do so?" Shao Yanru raised her eyes and looked down at her.Shao Yanru looked kind as if this substituted task was not a big deal. Since she couldn't complete the task about Prince Zhou, she had to finish the work of keeping an eye on Shao Wanru.Her fingers trembled but Han Dan did not dare to hesitate anymore. "Yes, I will keep an eye on Fifth Miss Shao. If there is anything unusual, I will definitely report it to First Miss!"This was her pledge of allegiance. She had to do so and didn't dare to refuse it.Now she had already known the secret of First Miss Shao. If she didn't help First Miss Shao, it would be easier for First Miss Shao to kill a little palace maid than to deal with Fifth Miss Shao."Not only something unusual but also common things should be paid more attention to. My Fifth Sister has a lot of thoughts and perhaps she will do something wrong, so I need to pay more atte
Chu Liuyue came in the evening, but he was not the only one who came. He and Chu Liuxin walked to the gate of the Chuxiu Palace."Elder brother, it seems that this place is really different from where we used to live. It's rare to have such a chance, so we should go and have a look!" Chu Liuxin stopped, pointed at the palace gate, and said with great interest on his face.Of course, he was more interested in the people there.Chu Liuyue frowned and was unwilling to enter the Chuxiu Palace. He looked at the three big characters at the gate of the palace and said, "Fourth brother, it is inappropriate for us to be here now. If our father knows this, he will punish us again!""What's wrong with it? This place is supposed to be for us to choose our people, so we have to see them. What's the use of just looking at the portrait? I heard that in the previous dynasty some of the beauties were painted quite ugly!" Chu Liuxin said care
Chu Liuyue was the son of Consort of Virtue, the head of the four concubines. Apart from the Empress, she was the noblest in the palace.But in fact, when she was brought into the palace in the beginning, she had just been a concubine at the lowest rank. She and her elder sister were brought into the palace together, but her sister, the eldest lineal daughter of their family, was given a higher position. As for her, the second lineal daughter of their family, if it had not been for the special event, she would not have been summoned to the palace along with her sister.No two imperial concubines shall come from one mansion. Even if she had been brought in because of a special situation, she had been deliberately made a nameless concubine. Compared to her sister brought in when she was in her golden age, she had just been a small wave.But in the end, the small wave had become a huge one, which completely defeated her sister, and emerged
Shao Yanru glanced at Shao Wanru, her eyes as cold as those of a venomous snake."Are you used to sitting here, Fifth Miss Shao? Do you feel anything inconvenient? If you need any help, I can help you. If you don't think you have enough servants, I can send someone to you." Chu Liuxin's character was the most elusive, and he behaved a little carelessly. He didn't notice that his words had made the people present have different thoughts."Thank you, Prince Xin. My grandma said that this is the imperial palace and I can't be so unruly!" Shao Wanru said with a courteous smile and refused in the name of Rui'an Great Elder Princess."This is not unruly. Great-aunt should blame me if she wants to blame anyone. If one servant is not enough, I can send more!" Chu Liuxin said with a smile. He was not aware of Shao Wanru's implication. Instead, he was just thinking about if she had suffered from injustice in the imperial palace.Shao
"Go and get the key to the room next to my sister Wanru's room!" Shao Yanru looked at Han Dan and said coldly."First... First Miss, you want the key to that room?" Han Dan said in a shiver."What? Is there a problem?" Shao Yanru's face darkened."No... no... uh... there's... a small problem. All keys are in the hands of the nanny in charge. I'm afraid it's hard to get it!" She touched the key in her chest pocket and said in a panic.She was indeed shocked and frightened. Fifth Miss Shao had taken away the key to the room next to First Miss Shao's room from her. She asked her to take out the two keys, but she just took away one key, saying that she took it for another purpose. She also asked her not to hand over the other one so easily. Was the person she referred to First Miss Shao?Han Dan felt a chill at the center of her spine as if something had gone through that spot and numerous eyes were staring at her f
Shao Wanru spoke of that incident again and again, making Shao Yanru so angry that she almost couldn't control herself. And she had almost torn her handkerchief into pieces.This was the last thing she wanted to mention. Although the truth had been hidden, the two people who should never have seen it saw it. And she was also injured. Although she was being treated with Doctor Qiu's medicine, the doctor said that her condition would only be clear in the future.The medicine used on her was strong, and her future condition was hard to predict, so Shao Yanru clenched her teeth.These words pained her heart and made her so guilty, but now Shao Wanru mentioned them repetitively, so how could she not hate her?But she had to keep quiet at this time. She suppressed her anger so hard that she broke her lips with her teeth."Commandery Prince Qing will be willing to marry my sister Yanru, but now I heard that he already
Consort of Virtue looked at the gifts on the table below, picked up the teacup at hand casually, wiped away the tea foam on it with the teacup lid, took a sip, and said, "First Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion was once good, but now... she is not very good."As soon as Shao Yanru's maid had left, the curtain behind Consort of Virtue was lifted, and Chu Liuyue came out and sat down on the chair next to her, ignoring the gifts."What do you think, mother?" Chu Liuyue said with a cold face."Yue'er, there are many benefits to marry her, especially when she is very guilty now. If you can marry her, Duke Xing's Mansion will not say anything even if you pick a few other high-ranking consorts!" Consort of Virtue thought for a moment and said smilingly to her son. In fact, it was acceptable to make Shao Yanru the princess!Although this was a little unfair to her son, it would not be a problem when he got that high position. If Duke Xing
"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
