Chu Liuchen entered the room with Xiao Xuanzi.
As an ordinary guest room, it was unusually exquisite. The decoration inside was elegant but gorgeous, in line with the style of the whole Prince Chen's Mansion.
There was a faint elegant fragrance in the air.
Chu Liuchen sat in the chair beside the bed, leaned against the wide chair rail, and said indifferently, "Wake him up!"
Chu Qing, who was on the bed, clenched his fists in his sleeves.
An imperial physician got closer and took out a long needle from his medicine chest. It shone with a bright cold light with the sunlight through the window and cast a blazing light on Chu Qing's face. Suddenly Chu Qing felt pain in his philtrum before he could react. The sharp pain made him tremble and open his eyes.
The imperial physician calmly took the long needle from his philtrum and stepped aside respectfully. "Your Highness, Commandery Prince Qing has been wo
"Didn't you just mention that you are unmarried? Though I heard that you had been engaged, you promised to marry the Second Miss of Marquis Xing's Mansion when you were in the Palace at that time, haven't you? So, why don't you take her as a concubine in a simple way in the several days, which might help you have a child?" Chu Liuchen said meaningfully.Chu Qing blushed with a livid face. He looked at Chu Liuchen coldly and then slowly lowered his eyes with a strong intent of killing in them."How dare Chu Liuchen humiliate me to this extent!"What a great shame for him to be treated like that by a dying patient! He clenched his fists and tried to suppress the agitation in his heart. After a long while, he slowly raised his head with calm eyes. He cupped his hands toward Chu Liuchen and said, "Go into the details, please!"Chu Liuchen seemed to be very satisfied with Chu Qing's attitude and even became friendly. He sat down
Xiao Xuanzi had always known his master's preference for Princess Chen, so how could he not know his master's feelings? Now he was looking forward to Princess Chen coming of age and giving birth to an heir for Prince Chen's Mansion.His master was no longer pessimistic as he used to be, which made Xiao Xuanzi feel energetic all over no matter what he did.His master doted on Princess Chen very much. He was never willing to see that she was unhappy, so he always allowed her to make a decision by herself. As for Princess Chen herself, Xiao Xuanzi also thought highly of her."She is not an ordinary person!" Xiao Xuanzi thought. Despite his master's secret help, her own strategies were also the reason why she could grow from a little girl who had just come to the capital city from Jiangzhou to a princess. Such an outstanding husband like his master was worthy of such a smart lady."Princess Chen deserves the respect and love fro
Madame Dong had been very anxious and flustered in the past few days. She was sitting in her room with a frown and couldn't calm down. She didn't expect to see that person again after so many years.Her expectation had long disappeared when she saw that man with his wife and daughter.In fact, she should have known that he couldn't remember her as he had disappeared for so many years. When she left, she had known how unfriendly his wife was to her.She had thought that she had given up on it, but now she had to look inside herself again. For so many years, she had been entangled.A shop boy knocked on the door and said, "Madame, there is a guest who wants to meet you. He said he had something important to tell you!"In the past, some of her important guests would do the same, so Madame Dong was used to it. She calmed down at once and said with a calm face, "Lead the important guest here!"The shop b
"Her Highness, I think he has something to do with Marquis Xing!" Madame Dong did not hide her suspicion and told it to Shao Wanru Bluntly."Second Uncle?" Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat, and her watery eyes slowly became suspected."Yes, I haven't seen Marquis Xing before when I stayed in Marquis Xing's Mansion. But on the day when I left there, I happened to see him, who also caught sight of me. I was surprised and remembered that he is the previous Second Young Master Shao!" Madame Dong gritted her teeth and said."What on earth is the thing?" Shao Wanru asked in confusion.Madame Dong kept herself calm and slowly talked about the past. She was not very sure of the identity of Marquis Xing, but after Wei Dahai came to see her, she immediately figured out the answers to the questions.That she came across Wei Dahai that day was obviously not an accident. It was probably his plan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have
Shao Wanru didn't stay long in Butterfly Clothing Shop. After talking with Madame Dong for a while, she walked out of the shop. Madame Dong escorted her to the door with courtesy. This was what she did to every distinguished customer, so it didn't arouse others' suspicion.Yujie was waiting at the door. When she saw Shao Wanru come out, she helped Shao Wanru put on her curtain hat and then went to the second floor with her. There was a place to rest there, where Chu Liuchen was sitting and waiting for Shao Wanru.Seeing her coming over, Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and asked lazily, "How did it go?""It's good. Nothing peculiar happened," Shao Wanru said vaguely."Can we deal with it?" Chu Liuchen asked."No problem!" Shao Wanru answered.Knowing that Chu Liuchen was worried about her, Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said, "I've been preparing for this before. Now I'm just rearranging it, but I ma
As soon as Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen went back to their mansion, the latter was called to the outer court. Shao Wanru understood that he had to deal with something, so she returned to the main courtyard of the inner court alone.Although there was an outer court and an inner court with their respective servants, the two courts meant the same for Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen as they were the only masters in Prince Chen's Mansion.After returning to her room, Shao Wanru summoned Qing'er and instructed her to carry out some orders.Then Qu Le left for Qin's Mansion. She went to deliver some gifts there but her main purpose was to meet Qing Xue who was staying in Qin's Mansion.When Chu Liuchen finished his work, it was time for lunch. He sent Xiao Xuanzi to tell Shao Wanru that he was still occupied with some jobs so he wouldn't come. He asked Shao Wanru to eat lunch by herself first.Qing'er was very efficient and
"There is indeed something wrong with the medicine!" The doctor hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth after checking the medicine taken out by Meiyan."Can I be cured in such a condition?" Qin Yuru crumpled the quilt tightly, with the words squeezing out through the gaps between her teeth.The doctor was not sure about it and could only say vaguely, "Uh... I'm incompetent to do that. Maybe other good imperial physicians can manage to cure you!""Doctor, please write a prescription!" Qin Yuru's hands and feet were cold.The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed a servant girl to the wing room to prescribe herbals."Madam... Madam..." Meiyan faced the curtain and called her master in a timid voice.The more silent Qin Yuru was, the more frightened she became."If I can't give birth to a child, Di Yan will have to forget about having a child!" Qin Yuru said
"What is it about?" Mei Xue looked up and down at the old maid and asked in an unfriendly tone.The old maid took a few steps forward and looked at the open door, looking very hesitant!"Close the door, Mei Xue!" Qin Yuru's hands slowly relaxed, and a trace of coldness appeared on her thin face. Since the old maid wanted to talk with her in secret, she could not be Countess Yong's person. Moreover, the old maid indeed worked in her dowry shop, but she had never reported to her anything about the shop before.When Qin Yuru married into Duke Yong's Mansion, she was awarded several shops which had been Madam Di's dowries before. But in fact, those shops were still owned by Duke Yong's Mansion, with some Qin Yuru's people as their staff.Madam Di used to leave the capital, so Duke Yong became the supervisor of those shops from then on. After Madam Di came back, Duke Yong's Mansion once said that the shops were in debt and implic
"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
