"Why don't you die?" Ning Xueqing's face glowed with rage. She grabbed Ning Caixian over by the hair and slapped her hard on both sides of her face.
She had exerted all her strength, so almost instantly, there was blood coming out of Ning Caixian's nose and the corner of her mouth. She was in a terrible mess.
Wang Shengxue was also stunned by Ning Xueqing's sudden appearance. Originally, he felt a little guilty. But when he saw that she grasped Ning Caixian's hair and beat her up, his face turned ugly. Ning Xueqing was just a concubine after all. "Did she really think she could manage his business?"
"Let go of her now! It's so embarrassing! How dare you!" Wang Shengxue scolded her harshly.
Ning Xueqing was so angry that she was shaking all over. With Ning Caixian's hair in her firm grasp, she turned around and said to Wang Shengxue with a sneer, "Embarrassing?! You have an affair with my sister. Is that not embarrassing?
"Are you telling the truth?" "Absolutely true. The two of them have made it a career to frame Princess Chen. From the very beginning, even before Princess Chen officially returned to her family, they took orders from the Madam of Marquis Xing and secretly dealt with Princess Chen. They planned to break Princess Chen and prevent her from returning to her family of origin!" Ning Caixian knelt in the hall and accused Wang Shengxue and Ning Xueqing loudly. Previously, when her mind was in a mess, she said it was Marquis Xing. Now, of course, she didn't dare to speak ill of Marquis Xing anymore, so she could put the blame on the Madam of Marquis Xing. "Big Sister, I know you want to marry my husband. You can't bear to see us being together, but even if he chooses you now, the relationship between him and me will remain. Big Sister, are you really going to force me to die and give up the position to you? What's the benefit for
"Okay, let's split up later!" Qiu Yu nodded and agreed. He took out a bamboo order slip from the table and threw it down. "Runners, detain the three suspects!" "Your Honor, my Big Sister is talking nonsense. She said so to shirk responsibility. Because my husband wouldn't accept her as his legal wife, she cooked up the story. I hope you can find out the truth!" Ning Xueqing appealed loudly, pointing to Ning Caixian. "Vicious woman! She had competed with Qin Yuru for Childe Di, which nearly ruined the marriage between the two families. Now she came at us. How could such a woman tell the truth?" "Wait a minute!" Wen Xichi reached out to stop the runner from taking her out. "What was the matter?" "Your Honor, she is Ning Caixian, my Big Sister who is supposed to be dead already!" Ning Xueqing pointed to Ning Caixian. "She hooked up with Childe Di Yan. Then she was put into prison for making big trouble and was said to be dead inside. Tod
Wen Xichi was silent for a moment, and then his thin lips slightly separated. "If there is a chance now, do you want to find out the truth?" "Since there is a chance, I must do it!" Shao Wanru nodded and said with certainty. "Okay!" Wen Xichi said without hesitation. He looked at her firmly, then lowered his head, and his eyes darkened. His decisiveness surprised Shao Wanru. She looked up, her watery eyes on him. "Shouldn't he make any decision by reasons and evidence? How could he agree with me instantly without investigation?" "Lord Wen, what do you think will happen in the end?" She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and asked, her long eyelashes fluttering. "Since this involves you and the Madam of Marquis Xing. Someone must bear the severe consequence. Compared with it, the case at the beginning is not a big deal." Wen Xichi thought for a moment. His position in the Ministry of Justice was hig
When the land was enveloped in a curtain of darkness, the Yuhui Nunnery quieted down. The gate had been locked. A man in black climbed over the wall and entered the Yuhui Nunnery, heading for the place where the pilgrims lived. He knew his way, even in the dark. Upon arrival, he looked around and made sure that no one was around. Then he stepped forward and knocked gently on the door. An old maid heard the knock and opened the door a little. When she saw the familiar face of the guard through the crack, she stepped aside to let him in. He lit a lamp in the house and saw Madam Jiang's thin face appear behind the lamp. Her face looked pale, haggard, and even a little gray. She was no longer the noble Madam of Marquis Xing who lived in luxurious surroundings. "Madam, His Excellency wrote a letter to you!" The guard presented a letter. Madam Jiang took it over joyfully. She had secretly sent many letters to her
It was a small case about a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, though Wang Shengxue and Ning Caixian would come to no good end. The Ministry of Justice had handled many homicide cases and this case was not a serious one, so Qiu Yu handled it. But this trivial case exposed a fiendish plot against Princess Chen hatched by the Marquis Xing's Mansion. That was a big deal. If Princess Chen were still the Fifth Miss Shao, it would not cause such a sensation. Unfortunately, she had become Princess Chen. Princess Chen and Prince Chen shared weal and woe. Chu Liuchen's urgent letter came. Shao Wanru opened it and saw a few vigorous characters. Unlike his usual gentle style, he wrote with harsh, slashing brushstrokes. She even felt his writing a little atrocious. Sure enough, Chu Liuchen was never as gentle and genial as he appeared. Such a refined image of him was an illusion to confuse his enemies. Anyone who bel
"Your Highness..." Nanny Yu still wanted to say something, but Shao Wanru stood up with the support of Qu Le. She turned around and walked inside, leaving Nanny Yu on the spot. "Nanny Yu, please! Let me see you off!" Yujie stepped forward with a smile, held out her hand, and said politely. However, for Nanny Yu, the polite invitation of a maid was no match for Princess Chen's curt refusal. "Yujie, is Her Highness not going back to the Marquis Xing's Mansion?" Nanny Yu asked with a bitter smile. She felt reluctant to leave. If she returned without accomplishing the task, it would be hard for her to explain everything to Old Madam. Old Madam was pretty sure that Princess Chen would return, thinking that if Nanny Yu met Princess Chen, she could persuade her to go back. Before Nanny Yu came here this time, Old Madam specifically told her to meet Princess Chen in person. Even if Princess Chen was in the Palace again, she had
Madam Jiang questioned closely, with her eyes flashing. "How could the two conditions not be enough? Get up and get ready. It's all because of you. How could you be so malicious as the Madam of Marquis Xing? I wouldn't have let my second son marry you if I had known you well. I thought you were a decent woman and have never expected you to be a troublemaker!" Old Madam, with a shameful rage, pointed at Madam Jiang and scolded her angrily. Madam Jiang didn't dare to say anything more and stood up with the help of an old maid nearby. "Mother..." "Go, go away immediately! I'll be angry when I see you!" Madam Jiang said grumpily. She turned around and walked inside, leaving Madam Jiang there. Madam Jiang's eyes turned cold and gloomy. She looked at Old Madam's receding figure with hatred, gritting her teeth. "Mother, go back and have a rest. Let's wait for grandmother's response." Zhao Xiran also
Now that Rui'an Great Elder Princess was in a very agitated state, how could she dare to get the Madam of Marquis Xing here? Nanny Yu forced a smile and replied, "She is sick too. Her joints were hurt when she lived in the damp Yuhui Nunnery, so I guess it'll be inconvenient for her to go around." "How could the Yuhui Nunnery be so humid? Princess Chen has been living in the Yuhui Nunnery for three years, but I've never heard that her joints were injured. It seems that the Madam in your mansion is really decent and must have been nursed in luxury," Rui'an Great Elder Princess sneered, turned back to sit back into the chair, and waved her hand. Rui'an Great Elder Princess narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Cut the nonsense. The Ministry of Justice will check the case. Well, I don't care what your Madam plans to do. But if she does anything to confine Princess Chen, don't blame me for being merciless." "I don't dare. I don't dare!" Hea
"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
