Shao Yanru and Chu Liuyue stood very close to each other, and the loose balustrade was behind them. Shao Yanru rubbed her handkerchief hard to suppress her tension.
What Chu Liuyue had just said made her angry, resentful, and quite jealous. She wanted to marry Chu Liuyue wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect that the man only wanted to give her the consort's position. He said that she had a bad reputation because many people had seen her in her wet clothes and the Empress must have known it.
He didn't say that on that very day. What did he mean by saying that now?
The bait that she had put on that day did not make Chu Liuyue retreat. What he meant was that she could marry into Prince Yue's Mansion only as a consort to earn herself a bright future. It was fine for her to scheme like that, but he told her to do it that way, which obviously meant that he disliked her. How could a woman despised by her husband be the Princess, the final winner in
Shao Wanru was extremely calm when she was asked to go over. She followed a little eunuch to the island in the center of the lake.Seen from a distance, the courtyard was small. But when she came near, she found that it was large, almost as large as the place where she had just stayed for a rest.She was led to Chu Liuyue.Chu Liuyue had changed his clothes. Dressed in a simple brocade robe, he looked a little pale. A man would feel a little cold if he fell into the water in such a cold winter, let alone a woman like Shao Yanru.Shao Yanru really risked her life! She had been injured, and her condition was probably even worse now."Fifth Miss, please take care of First Miss. I've sent for the imperial physician!" Chu Liuyue whispered slowly while looking at Shao Wanru. His voice was a little hoarse. Obviously, he was injured.Shao Wanru tightened her sleeves, bowed respectfully, raised her beautiful
After hesitating for a moment, Shuqi subconsciously looked at Shao Yanru lying on the bed. Not sure about the medical skills of Fifth Miss, she became nervous. Fifth Miss wouldn't find that First Miss was actually awake, would she?She knew that Fifth Miss knew medical skills because Nanny Yu had told her so. Nanny Yu thought that Fifth Miss's medical skills were excellent, but no one in the whole mansion took her words seriously. Even Old Madam, whom Fifth Miss had treated at that time, said that she was not good. Now, when she wanted her to feel the pulse, Shuqi felt uneasy.Fifth Miss really had excellent medical skills?Shao Yanru was motionless on the bed, looking like she had fainted, aware of nothing. Helpless, Shuqi could only take her hand down. Shao Wanru put her hand on her sister's pulse and began to treat her.Shao Yanru's condition was bad indeed. The cold air that had been left in her from her first fall into
Shao Yanru had fallen into the lake and been rescued by Chu Liuyue!This news shocked Chu Liuzhou so much that he had no mood to stay with the Empress any more. He made an excuse and asked a eunuch to help push his wheelchair away in a hurry. He did not notice that there was some meaning in Chu Liuchen's eyes when he turned around.Doctor Qiu had good medical skills. After strong medicine had been applied, Chu Liuzhou could now simply walk as long as he didn't force his legs too hard. But for better rehabilitation, he usually sat in a wheelchair.It was reported by a palace servant. He only said that the First Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion had fallen into the lake. As for the matter that she had fallen into the water with Chu Liuyue, it was answered in detail because of Chu Liuchen's casual questions.He asked who had been there at that time, how she had fallen into the water, what her condition was now and so on.
The main room was in a mess. When Shao Wanru followed Chu Liuchen into the room, the first thing she saw was a mess of tables and chairs.Then she saw two people stopped by the guards.Prince Yue, Chu Liuyue, was cold and dignified. He behaved properly in front of others, full of the dignity of the royal family's disciples.Prince Zhou, Chu Liuzhou, was noble and brave. His identity as the legitimate son of the Empress made him more honorable in front of people.But were the two people who were in a fight really them?Not to mention the bruises on their faces, their clothes were in tatters. They rolled on the ground and panted heavily. They no longer looked as dignified as before.Shao Yanru laid in the arms of Shuqi and did not move at all. She did not look like a daughter of an aristocratic family at all. Shuqi held the fainted Shao Yanru in her arms and did not dare to move, for fear of annoying
"The reason? Tell me the reason. Why did you beat your brother like that?" The Emperor sneered when he got angry with his self-righteous look.This was so shameful. His two Princes fought fiercely in front of the Chuxiu Palace. How could the civilians view the royal family? Once he thought of this, the Emperor felt that his heart hurt with anger."Father, my mother has picked First Miss Shao for me. In my heart, First Miss Shao is my future Princess. When I saw my eldest brother and her hugging each other, I was so angry that I beat my brother. Now I know I was wrong. I will apologize to my brother!"Chu Liuzhou lowered his noble head and spoke to the Emperor. After that, he sincerely said to Chu Liuyue, "Brother, I was impulsive just now. If you're still angry, just beat me. This time I won't dodge, let alone fight against you!"His sincere tone almost made others believe him.With her head being lowered, Shao
Standing at the door of the great hall, Shao Wanru took a deep breath. When she was about to ask Yujie standing nearby to go with her, she was stopped by Chu Liuyue who had come out with her."Fifth Miss Shao, First Miss Shao's matter..." Chu Liuyue had calmed down at this time. If it weren't for the bruises on his face that made him look gloomy, she really couldn't see that the Prince, who had been dignified in former days, had just fought his brother."Prince Yue!" Shao Wanru stopped and said."Fifth Miss Shao, First Miss Shao has always been on good terms with me, but I didn't expect that she... failed to live up to my feelings. She and Chu Liuzhou..." Speaking of this, Chu Liuyue's face became gloomier and gloomier, and a chill glistened and disappeared in his eyes.Shao Wanru lowered her head and listened silently. She didn't answer or interrupt. This was the three people's business, which had nothing to do with her, so
It was very quiet in the hall with no one speaking, which made Shao Yanru's cry mournful, painful, and even a little desperate.It was not just acting. What happened today was so sudden that Shao Yanru was caught off guard. She could hardly believe that her brilliant trick would suddenly turn into a mess.She cried so hard that she couldn't control herself. Shuqi held her in her arms and cried silently. Shao Yanru was crying and peeping at Shao Wanru. She saw her looking down at a corner in front of her in silence, as if she was sad. Such a thing was a great disaster for the girls of the Shao Family.If Shao Yanru seducing two princes was exposed, not only Duke Xing but also the women of the Shao Family would end up miserably.Yujie stood behind Shao Wanru and didn't move at all."Fifth Sister, I'm sorry... I... I'm sorry for all the women in our family!" Shao Yanru sobbed.Shao Wanru raised her hea
The palace maid who was guarding the side hall was called over. Shao Yanru asked Shuqi to help her up. Because she had lost too much blood, her face was pale. "Did Her Grace order... my Fifth Sister to stay in the Phoenix Palace?"The palace maid thought for a moment and said, "Her Grace didn't say it clearly!""My Fifth Sister... doesn't have to live here to look after me, does she?" Shao Yanru asked weakly."Well..." The palace maid did not dare to answer. She was just a humble palace maid and did not know what her master was thinking."Could you please go and get the person in charge of this side hall?" Shao Yanru opened her eyes slightly, seeming pretty weak. Shuqi asked her to lean against a thick and soft cushion and then sent a bulging pouch to the palace maid quick-wittedly."Okay, please wait for a moment, ladies. I'll be back soon!" The palace maid smiled and nodded repeatedly. She took the pouch and s
"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
