"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
Shao Wanru, not surprised by Rui'an Great Elder Princess's question, responded calmly, "Grandma, it's good that Prince Chen is recovering, but others will be more and more afraid of him. If he doesn't go up, he will be trampled on in the end!" Her meaning was clear, so how could her grandma not understand? Rui'an Great Elder Princess got tensed and then slowly relaxed. She had been holding Shao Wanru tightly in her arms and had no intention of letting go of her. After a long while, Shao Wanru heard that her breathing became steady. She finally accepted these words. She accepted it quickly. "Zhuozhuo, don't worry. I know!" If it was Zhuozhuo's intention, she would try her best to fulfill it. Judging by Chu Liuchen's situation, Rui'an Great Elder Princess knew they could only choose to go to the upper level instead of staying behind. Otherwise, they would come to no good end. When the Empress Do
"What? She refused our invitation?" Infanta Yuan'an turned angrily to Ruiping Great Elder Princess, who was at the seat of honor. She put down the teacup heavily and snorted. "How could she turn it down? She nicely indicated she would come here. She deliberately refused now to humiliate us, didn't she? Is she proud of being a daughter-in-law of the royal family? Doesn't she know I will marry into the royal family too?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess told them that Shao Wanru accepted the invitation and was willing to heal the relationship between the two families. So long as they sent an invitation and showed her the intention to make peace, she would accept it. Therefore, Infanta Yuan'an began early to prepare for the meeting and even finished choosing the guests. In the end, Shao Wanru said she wouldn't come. "Yuan'an, can't you calm down?" Ruiping Great Elder Princess said calmly. She reached out and gently pushed the teapot to her. "To demonstrate
"There is no conflict between Prince Chen and Prince Zhou. They can be good brothers. Prince Zhou has a distinguished position in the state and the support of the Empress. If he also finds favor in the Empress Dowager's eyes, great things can be achieved!" Ruiping Great Elder Princess said to her granddaughter with a smile. Her face softened, and the cold look on her face slowly faded away. Prince Chen didn't have much strength to compete for the throne. Everyone knew that no matter how the Emperor valued Prince Chen, he wouldn't pass the throne to him. Instead of his nephew, the Emperor's sons were the legal heirs to the imperial throne, so Prince Chen had no right to succeed to the throne, let alone he had been in poor health. Even though he was better now, he was far weaker than the several princes who had always been vital and healthy. It was lucky enough for him to stay alive like this. If remaining in his proper sphere, Prince Chen might prol
Nanny Yu had been waiting for Shao Wanru in the front yard for a long time. When she saw her coming, she hurried forward to salute and then stepped aside, welcoming her respectfully. "Your Highness, please come with me." "Not in the main hall?" Shao Wanru paused in perplexity. "No, it's not. The main hall is used in welcoming guests. There are many guests coming and going today. If Old Madam and Marquis Xing can't receive all of them for the time being, some will be invited there to drink tea and wait." Shao Wanru looked at Nanny Yu and suddenly smiled. "Nanny Yu, does my grandma think the religious rite for my parents is not important enough to be held in the main hall?" "How... how could this be?" Nanny Yu stammered, shaking her head vigorously. Of course, she didn't dare to tell the truth, but Princess Chen was right. Old Madam had never given whole-hearted support to the religious ceremony because she j
Another servant girl came out from behind Shao Wanru and worked together with Yujie to make Madam Jiang sit down on the chair. "Madam Jiang, please don't disturb our Miss to release the souls of the former Heir of Duke Xing and Infanta Qinghua from purgatory by reciting the Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Dharani!" Yujie said in a low voice, looking neither humble nor arrogant. Madam Jiang was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly, but she could not interrupt Shao Wanru again. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and asked Yujie in a kind and pleasant way, "When will Princess Chen finish it?" "I'm not sure!" Yujie whispered the answer. Once again, Madam Jiang was enraged by her words, but she had to suppress her anger before asking, "The holy text of a sutra is limited. How could you not know when she would finish it?" "You're right. Her Highness can finish reciting it after some time, but she o
"Infanta Yuan'an..." Madam Jiang struggled to stand up, trying to bow to Infanta Yuan'an before explaining. "Madam Jiang, it seems that Old Madam has punished you, but you vent your anger on Princess Chen. Although Princess Chen is a junior, she has married into the royal family and is the granddaughter of Rui'an Great Elder Princess. How could you keep watch on her with such an irreverent attitude? She is chanting sutras for her parents, but you are leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks while sneering at her?" Infanta Yuan'an waved her hand to stop Madam Jiang from explaining. She swept her gaze across the crowd around her and said sarcastically. Many people coming to pay respects went here with her. These people behaved themselves when served by servants of the Marquis Xing's Mansion in the main hall, but after Infanta Yuan'an came to the mansion, she instigated part of them to break into this courtyard. Then, they
"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
