Her husband's grandmother had said so, and the matter involved the interests of the family.
No matter how reluctant Qiu Yelan was, she had to send Madame Tao into the sedan. After the sedan left, she led people to the Annexe of Prince of Qi.
When she arrived, Empress Jiang and Concubine Tong, who arrived before her, had ordered people to guard the Annexe.
Even if it was Qiu Yelan, the wife of Empress's nephew, who came here, the gatekeeper still stopped her. He went inside to report. Only when Nijin came out and verified her identity, he let her in. Qiu Yelan always went to the Summer Palace without a hitch, so this place was more heavily guarded than the Summer Palace!
"How is Your Highness? Grandma was worried about him, so she sent me here to check on him." Qiu Yelan asked Nijin softly as they walked in.
"He just took the medicine. Even the imperial doctor was uncertain." Nijin showed sympathy for Prince of Qi when
Qiu Baozhu, the Commandery Princess Ningxin, was the only biological child of Li who was the first wife of Qiu Mengmin.Qiu Mengmin and his biological mother Lu were expelled from home by Old Princess Lian and tramped the streets before. At the age of getting married, he couldn't expect to marry a rich young lady, so he married Li then, an ordinary woman.At that time, although Qiu Mengmin and his mother hadn't expected that one day they would return to the Prince's Mansion and become the masters there, they felt very disappointed that the son of the old Duke of Xihe would be reduced to marrying a poor girl as his official wife! In this case, Li even hadn't given birth to a baby for a few years after they got married. It was conceivable that how her husband and mother-in-law disliked her!Then Qiu Mengmin took a concubine under Lu's command, and his eldest son was just Qiu Hongzhi. Later, Li finally got pregnant and gave birth to Qiu Baozhu, wh
Jiang Yashuang came back late this day mainly because he accompanied the Seventh Prince to visit Prince of Qi. Empress Jiang hadn't returned to Summer Palace at the time, so naturally she would not miss the opportunity to remind her nephew not to spoil his wife.His aunt always treated him as her own son, while he loved his wife so much. Even if Jiang Yashuang had been a master of comforting elders since he was a child, he made great effort to comfort the Empress.When he returned to his yard with a tired look, he was shocked to hear that Qiu Yelan fell ill before the evening!Jiang Yashuang was so anxious to send for a doctor and brew medicine, and he didn't get to sleep until the middle of the night. Shortly before Jiang Yashuang came back, Madame Tao also got the news that Qiu Yelan was sick. Even if Madame Tao always showed kindness to others, she put on a sulky face after hearing the news!Mom Hu even scolded unhappily, "Didn'
"To the standpoint of paternal and maternal grandmothers, the majority of them would not like to see that their grandsons are closer to their wives than themselves!"Qiu Yelan had woken up when Su He went back to Jiang's residence. She was reclining to the bed listlessly and having porridge with the help of Chunran. She immediately asked Su He to report to her after she knew Su He was back. Su He went into the inner chamber and began to report what she met on her way to the Green Villa before Qiu Yelan said a word.In Su He's words, she did not mention Qiu Jinglan was in a coma.This was what Ruan Ciyi required her to do. In fact, even if she did not instruct her to do so, Su He dared not to say it to Qiu Jinglan, given the bad health of Qiu Jinglan now. The affection between them was so strong that Qiu Jinglan would be heartbroken if she heard the news.Against the backdrop, Su He began to report what Ruan Ciyi told her, "Old Mada
Jiang Yashuang wanted to ask for days off to stay with Qiu Yelan, hanging out. But Qiu Yelan vetoed his proposal. Madame Tao was informed of this at that night without delay.Recalling that Qiu Yelan refused to accept Mom Hu's apology, Madame Tao was getting more solemn, "Yashuang has been very agreeable to her. What does she want?"Mom Hu answered discreetly, "Luckily, young master has been here and explained the reason why Qiu Baozhu went to his house. For this point, I think young master respects you much!""I sacrificed a lot to raise him and his sister. For this, Yazhu has a disagreement with me because he was in my house earlier!" said Madame Tao coldly. "If they have a conscience, it's only right that they obey me. Few men in the world would do it like Kuang Shihan!"She sighed after smiling emotionlessly, "Until now, Yashuang has been following my order, but he also protects her. What he did for the Seventh Prince was compl
"Why are you here?" the dull yellow candlelight could hardly hide Princess Yang's weary look. She surely wasn't in the mood to talk to Madame Wei who she hadn't talked to for three years. She said flatly, "Haven't you guys already separated from us and lived apart? Haven't you guys already broken up with your first and second brother and become a stranger? How do you have time to visit me? Aren't you afraid of me who raised a useless daughter implicating your kids?"Madame Wei was the third master of Yang Family, Yang Yong's wife. There were successive rumors about the daughter of Yang Family's second branch Yang Yifu and the daughter of Yang Family's first branch Yang Yishi having an affair back then. Not only did Yang Tao get banished from Jing City, but the third branch also got into big trouble. Madame Wei and Yang Yong surely weren't willing to suffer in silence. They made a fuss about it and then separated from the family. Since then they hadn't only broken contac
At dusk of that day, Commandery Princess Ningtai was poisoned to death after drinking the nutritious soup which was served by Princess Yang.Everyone in Prince’s Mansion of Xihe knew how much Princess Yang adored her daughter. And Commandery Princess Ningtai had been in a good mood waiting to get married. So, she couldn’t have committed suicide.Besides, a dozen of servants who were there at that moment could swear on their lives that Commandery Princess Ningtai was talking and laughing with Princess Yang right before she was dead. She definitely didn’t look like she wanted to commit suicide!So, Commandery Princess was surely murdered.And the murderer...Princess Yang ordered a nanny to carry her daughter whose body was still warm and brought almost everyone in her yard with her. She rushed into Senior Concubine Bian’s yard and dragged defenseless Senior Concubine Bian out of her bed to the yard. She kicked her in the chest, "Vici
"Yang is good at taking advantage!" Empress Dowager Gu, of course, would be concerned about Commandery Princess Ningtai's death because Commandery Princess Ningtai was her to-be granddaughter-in-law. Looking at the report sent to her, Empress Dowager Gu couldn't help but give a cold smile, "I only promised her to promote her son to be a Young Prince. But unexpectedly, she died, leaving her husband alone in the world!"Maid Zheng asked discreetly, "Empress Dowager, do you approve?""Yes, I approve!" Empress Dowager Gu said. She added, "Why did I not approve? Prince's Mansion of Xihe is an empty shell today. We just need to spend a little silver to support it. I am okay with anyone but Qiu Jinglan to be the Duke of Xihe. It costs me nothing. Now, Qiu Mengmin was convicted of disrespecting the official mother. But I haven't heard anything bad about his son, Qiu Yinzhi. If Qiu Jinglan dares to say that he is the Young Prince of the former Duke of Xihe, I will a
"How is that possible?!" called Qiu Yelan in surprise and shock. "Yashuang is more familiar with the Summer Palace than me. How can he break into a Princess's room?!"Jiang Tan smiled bitterly, "I think so, too. But the maid serving Princess Lexin told me the news. She even showed the perfume bag left in her room by our young master. Empress Dowager Gu finally got a reason..."Qiu Yelan interrupted him with doubt, "I thought that you had been following him all the time. You think so, too? You must be very clear if he entered Princess Lexin's room?""Her Majesty said she wanted to speak with young master privately. I have to wait outside," said Jiang Tan innocently. "And then, not long after, young master got out of the Hall and was blocked by Empress Dowager's servants who told him to meet the Empress Dowager," said Jiang Tan. Considering Qiu Yelan might be very concerned, he continued promptly, "Her Majesty rushed there after getting the news.
