Medical Princess

Seeing her understand, Qin Wanru put down her hand. Looking around, only to see there were only two rows of flowers around them with no other big trees and no one nearby, she was relieved.

Seeing that Qin Wanru was so cautious, Yan Xulan considered herself reckless and felt sorry. “I’ve made a slip of the tongue and almost caused trouble!”

“Fortunately, there are no other people here!” Qin Wanru softly said, looking ahead in the distance quietly with her watery eyes. Seeing a few palace maids pass by without approaching them, she felt slightly relieved.

A lot of things had happened in the palace today. The Empress seems to be looking for someone to take the blame. She didn’t want to cause trouble at this time.

“I had another accident when I entered the palace. I was trapped and almost got killed. I was saved by Prince Chen, but he passed out and is still in the Imperial Institute of Medicine. The Empress Dowager is also there. The horse causing the accident belongs to Prince Zhou’s Mansion!” Qin Wanru said implicitly and warned Yan Xulan in a low voice.

After such an accident, the Empress would definitely not be in a good mood at the feast today.

Yan Xulan understood the meaning of Qin Wanru’s words and gasped. It was much more serious than what had happened to Qin Wanru just now. Compared with this, she no longer cared about Wang Yishu.

“Has Prince Chen woken up?” Yan Xulan hurriedly said. Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Chen was the Empress Dowager’s favorite. If the sickly Prince Chen was seriously injured, it would inevitably stir up a disturbance in the capital.

“He has woken up!” Qin Wanru whispered.

“Thank Goodness! Thank Goodness!” Yan Xulan felt relieved. Such a thing happened before the banquet. None of the Young Madams who attended the banquet today could stay out of it. Everyone must be tried. It was a blessing to escape from it.

“Are you alright?” Yan Xulan suddenly remembered this matter was related to Qin Wanru, and immediately said with concern.

“I’m fine. Prince Chen has interceded for me!” Qin Wanru shook her head, picked up a nearby petal and fiddled with it thoughtfully.

“Who intended to hurt Prince Chen? Could it be…” Speaking of this, Yan Xulan covered her mouth tightly, seemingly afraid that some inappropriate words would slip out of her mouth. She felt tongue-tied, didn’t dare to finish her words and faintly felt the cold sweat on her forehead.

The identity of Prince Chen was too special. He could be considered the crown prince, especially when the emperor hadn’t appointed another crown prince. His current identity had a far-reaching influence. Even Yan Xulan, who had always lived in the inner courtyard, knew about that.

Qin Wanru bit her lip and became speechless in a while!

Everyone considered it a conspiracy against Chu Liuchen. Only she knew that it was aimed at her. Chu Liuchen passed out, because she was swept by the whip and bumped into him. Chu Liuchen was actually the innocent bystander involved in the trouble.

Nevertheless, everyone had infinitely magnified this matter and thought someone intended to hurt Chu Liuchen. Even the Empress Dowager and the Empress thought so. This was an important reason why Prince Zhou hurriedly left.

At the moment, she couldn’t explain this misunderstanding!

She was not the only one who had been trapped!

The meaning of the Empress’ words rendered Qin Wanru a bold guess. Since the banquet was hosted by the Empress, she certainly did not want to have any accident. In particular, Duke Xing’s Mansion was involved in it. She naturally wanted to reduce the trouble into a minor one.

Why did she try to involve Duke Xing’s Mansion in it!

The Empress obviously tried to distract everyone from it. What had happened between Qin Wanru and Wang Yishu was a minor thing. Such a minor thing became uncertain because Qin Wanru was involved in it. Qin Wanru was also involved in the accident in which Chu Liuchen passed out.

In summary, Qin Wanru confirmed the Empress intended to make what had happened to her significant and reduce what had happened to Chu Liuchen into a minor thing.

If Qin Wanru continued talking as the Empress implied, she would inevitably become a victim of politics. It was barely possible to accuse Duke Xing’s Mansion.

After thinking over various possibilities in a while, Qin Wanru had decided to make Chu Liuchen’s plan a priority. It wasn’t an urgent thing for her to deal with Madam of Duke Xing. What was more, even if she didn’t say anything about what had happened today, the rumor of Madam of Duke Xing’s dissatisfaction with her had got out.

After this, if Madam of Duke Xing showed excess intimacy with her, she would be doubted.

If Qin Wanru hadn’t smashed the jade pendant first today, there must be some follow-ups, which she couldn’t explain, after Wang Yishu’s action. It indicated other people would continue to accomplish Wang Yishu’s task. They hid in the dark because of Wang Yishu’s accident. Madam of Duke Xing was quite powerful with people at her service in the palace.

These people might be the servants in the palace, or the Young Madams from different mansions.

“Sister Yan, this thing has not yet got out. You should pretend you know nothing about it.” Qin Wanru told her in a low voice.

“Rest assured. I will not tell anyone and will be more careful!” Understanding the meaning of Qin Wanru’s words, Yan Xulan put down her hands and said cautiously.

When they were talking, a palace maid suddenly ran over. Seeing Yan Xulan, she felt relieved and hurriedly stepped forward to say, “Miss Yan, Zhaoyi told you to be cautious and not to cause trouble in the palace today!”

Her words were incomprehensible, but Qin Wanru and Yan Xulan actually understood.

“Okay, I know!” Yan Xulan and Qin Wanru glanced at each other and nodded.

“Zhaoyi asked you to go over, and she has some other things to tell you!” The palace maid did not leave and said to Yan Xulan calmly after glancing at Qin Wanru beside.

It meant that Yan Xulan must visit Zhaoyi Yan although she had promised!

“Uh…” Yan Xulan hesitated.

“Sister Yan, you should go there. Perhaps Zhaoyi has something important to tell you!” Qin Wanru knew her scruple and said with a smile.

Most of the Young Madams attending the feast did not know what had happened outside the palace, while the well-informed imperial concubines had already known it. They might be afraid that their juniors didn’t know it and irritated the Empress. There were not a few concubines like Zhaoyi Yan who asked her junior to her place and told her junior about it.

They seemed to be cheerful, but the disturbance was going to break out because of the injury of Chu Liuchen.

Since Qin Wanru had said that, Yan Xulan left with the palace maid and her maid after glancing at Qin Wanru with gratitude, leaving Qin Wanru alone on the path.

Qin Wanru turned a corner and continued walking forward.

“Miss, is Miss Wang really sent by Madam of Duke Xing?” Finding no one around them, Yujie stepped forward to walk behind Qin Wanru. She had not got the opportunity to talk with Qin Wanru privately.

“I think so!” Qin Wanru said slowly with a trace of deep coldness across her watery eyes.

“Why is Madam of Duke Xing so vicious? Does she hate you so much? She seemingly liked you a lot before!” Yujie said indignantly.

Others might not have seen Madam of Duke Xing’s “kindness” towards Qin Wanru, but she had. At the thought that Madam of Duke Xing, who seemed to be gentle and dignified, was actually a woman with a kind face and an evil intention, Yujie felt strong disgust.

Qin Wanru raised her red lips, with her eyes getting increasingly cold.

Madam of Duke Xing would not let her go, and she would not let go of this woman. She would never forget the blood feud of two lives! Reaching out to rub her forehead, she thought she should be trapped by Madam of Duke Xing and thus to become Wang Shengxue’s co-wife. In this life, Madam of Duke Xing intended to play this trick again!

Nevertheless, what had happened ended in the last life. In this life, she, who returned from the tragic doom, would never place herself unreservedly in Madam of Duke Xing’s power!

“One day, I will get it back!” Qin Wanru said in an indifferent voice even with a slight smile on her face. But her voice and smile both looked penetratingly cold!

“Miss, what will happen to Miss Wang?” Yujie was not afraid of Qin Wanru’s expression and would like to see her became tougher. She suddenly thought of something and said indignantly, “She obviously pretended she has passed out. But she hit the ground heavily. I think she really passed out!”

Her words made Qin Wanru smile. “She didn’t expect to end up like this! Madam of Duke Xing will kill her!”

Wang Yishu could never imagine the outcome of what had happened. Madam of Duke Xing wouldn’t take the blame, so she had to take it, but she couldn’t afford to take it!

Things had changed so much. Madam of Duke Xing didn’t seem like a person submitting with folded arms. She would definitely think of a way according to the changing situation. The best result of this matter was Wang Yishu’s death. If Wang Yishu died from hitting the ground, Madam of Duke Xing could even condemn Qin Wanru for this!

Yujie was shocked, “Miss, if Miss Wang really dies, the blame will definitely be shifted onto you in the end. Madam of Duke Xing won’t let it go and will definitely put the blame on you!”

“It doesn’t matter. We are in the palace anyway. Madam of Duke Xing is unable to bribe many people!” Qin Wanru smiled slightly and said meaningfully.

Madam of Duke Xing would do something, but she had already attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager. The palace maid of the Empress Dowager would inevitably report the dispute between Qin Wanru and Wang Yishu to the Empress Dowager.

Chu Liuchen was injured, so the Empress Dowager was in a state of extreme nervousness now. Even the slightest disturbance could definitely attract the Empress Dowager’s attention, not to mention Wang Yishu was still in the Imperial Institute of Medicine.

Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager was also there! At this time, something interesting probably had happened!

She just needed to wait and see what would happen!

In the last life, Madam of Duke Xing had deployed her scouts in various places, and her daughter had a far-reaching ambition. They ruined her life in order to seek more power. It could be seen that Duke Xing’s Mansion had deployed scouts in the palace.

However, Qin Wanru was afraid that she would not do anything this time. If she did something, her scouts would be exposed…
