Chapter 1177 Are You Sure It Is Related to the Feign Death

Mingqiu Nun and Qi Jue, two top-notch doctors, seldom met each other. Of course, this was mainly because Mingqiu Nun felt reluctant to see Qi Jue.

Even in the Prince Chen’s Mansion, Mingqiu Nun would avoid Qi Jue, but it was often her wishful thinking. Qi Jue would fall into an unusual state every time she came — he was no longer a mysterious master of superior attainments. Like any other ordinary foolish man, he had every intention of getting closer to Mingqiu Nun and didn’t care about being treated coldly by her.

Losing face was nothing to him. Qi Jue himself had said the so-called dignity of man was superficial. As long as Mingqiu Nun was happy, he was willing to let her step on his pride.

This was the first time that Mingqiu Nun did not avoid Qi Jue. They sat together, and Shao Wanru was between them.

There was a partly burnt candle between the two of them. It was the one from the Palace.

“Mingqiu Nun, what do you think?” Seeing Mingqiu Nun put down the candle in her hand, Shao Wanru asked.

Mingqiu Nun pursed her lips tightly. With a frown, she studied the tiny fragments in her hands. “Some drug powder had been cautiously added to the candle, but it doesn’t seem the drug can make people look as good as dead.”

“Your Highness, can you be sure it has something to do with the fake death?” Qi Jue asked suspiciously. It was rare for him to appear serious before Mingqiu Nun. At this time, he also picked up a little candle powder, put it under his nose, and sniffed it.

“Yes!” Shao Wanru hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although her memory was blurred, she remembered the few words very clearly. Moreover, Shao Yanru had indeed entered this state at the moment. Pretending to be dead was the best way Shao Yanru could think of to get out of the Palace.

It could solve her current predicament.

Shao Wanru had thought that if Shao Yanru escaped from the Palace in a state of suspended animation, she would have to get another identity. Then, she could marry into the mansion of one prince. However, it was unknown which prince she would pick up.

“If Doctor Qiu made it…” Mingqiu Nun couldn’t help glancing at Qi Jue with a trace of sadness across her eyes. It could be said that Doctor Qiu got them into this unpleasant situation. Google search 𝗳𝙧𝘦𝒆𝑤𝙚𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃ℯ𝑙. 𝐜𝐨𝑚

Her father had accepted two disciples. The elder one was Doctor Qiu and the other was Qi Jue. Both of them had excellent medical skills. Because Mingqiu Nun was also interested in medicine, she had also been practicing medicine with her father.

Unexpectedly, everyone fell into a plight, and she became a nun. Unconsciously, the corners of her eyes turned slightly red. Mingqiu Nun hurriedly turned away to hide the sadness in her eyes.

She was going to marry Qi Jue back then, but because of Doctor Qiu, they fell into such a mess. Though she was smiling, a trace of bitterness touched her lips.

“He has never been a good person. It was in vain that my master did that for him…” Qi Jue said indignantly, “It’s not a surprise that he can make strange things. Initially, he studied these aspects. As a doctor, he aims at harming people instead of saving them.”

“Mingqiu Nun, Doctor Qi, how do you think the fake death happened? Is it has something to do with the candle?” Shao Wanru had inquired about something between them from Mingqiu Nun, but she could only sigh with emotion in her heart.

Doctor Qiu, as a paranoid doctor, injured both others and himself.

“Your Highness, it’s not easy to get to the bottom of this matter. We have to look into it carefully.” Qi Jue said, looking at Mingqiu Nun.

Mingqiu Nun didn’t object this time and nodded. She couldn’t figure it out for a while, so she had to study it with caution.

Shao Wanru, with her eyes on Mingqiu Nun, said softly, “Mingqiu Nun, don’t go back to Yuhui Nunnery now. You can stay here for a few days to study the candle. I always feel this matter is not simple.”

Though she was not officially recognized Mingqiu Nun as her master, she had been learning from her. These distressed things in the past were all Doctor Qiu’s fault. Neither Mingqiu Nun nor Doctor Qi was wrong. Thus, Shao Wanru had always wanted to make them a couple, but Mingqiu Nun had no intention. As a result, this matter between Mingqiu Nun and Qi Jue was put off.

Now that there was such an opportunity, Shao Wanru would try to ask Mingqiu Nun to stay.

Qi Jue’s eyes sparkled, and he stared at Mingqiu Nun. It could be seen that he was nervous.

Mingqiu Nun wanted to refuse and said that she would come every day. But when she looked at Qi Jue, whose eyes were shining, she found it hard to refuse. There was a long pause before she nodded.

“Great, that’s so great. Let’s go and study it now!” Qi Jue jumped up excitedly and reached out to pull Mingqiu Nun’s hand, but Mingqiu Nun avoided him.

He didn’t mind it at all. His face, beaming with happy smiles, looked so dazzling. He picked up the candle wrapped in paper on the desk and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms. “Your Highness, Mingqiu and I will go to do the survey.”

In his heart, he felt very grateful to Princess Chen. He had been looking for an opportunity to get close to Mingqiu, but she had avoided him. This time, there was no way for her to keep a distance from him! He was overcome with unexpected joy!

Since he saw Mingqiu three years ago, he had always wanted to get back together with her. Now, he finally had a chance.

“Thank you, Doctor Qi!” Shao Wanru nodded with a smile.

Mingqiu Nun frowned. Looking at Qi Jue’s silly deeds, she felt inexplicably annoyed. “I’m already a nun. What else does he want me to do? He has always wanted me to resume secular life, but I don’t want to do it!”

She stood up and bowed to Shao Wanru. Then she turned around and reluctantly left after Qi Jue.

They left one after the other. When they got out of the door, Qi Jue deliberately stopped and waited for Mingqiu Nun to come. Seeing them like this, Yujie couldn’t help laughing. As Mingqiu Nun’s disciple, she certainly hoped she could be happy.

Mingqiu Nun, living in the nunnery, had led an overly self-disciplined and ascetic life. If Doctor Qi treated Mingqiu Nun well, she was also very willing to see them become a couple.

“Doctor Qiu is indeed a troublemaker. It’s all his fault. If not for him, Mingqiu Nun and Doctor Qi might have had many children now.” Yujie wiped the corners of her eyes and accused angrily. She had a deep hatred for Doctor Qiu. Suddenly, she remembered another thing and asked in confusion, “My Lady, doesn’t Doctor Qiu work for Prince Zhou? Why is he with First Miss? First Miss chose Prince Yue, didn’t she?”

“Doctor Qiu… may not be Prince Zhou’s subordinate.” Shao Wanru blinked her eyes with a hint of sarcasm.

Chu Liuyue was very scheming. It could be seen from the fact that Qi Rongzhi married into the Prince Zhou’s Mansion instead of the Prince Yue’s Mansion. He had maintained an ambiguous relationship with Qi Rongzhi. When Qi Rongzhi took him to her place to talk, she had been guarding outside. It could be seen how intimate they were.

However, according to the imperial edict from the Palace, Qi Rongzhi married someone else instead of Chu Liuyue. This matter was a good example to prove how cunning he was.

It seemed to be the same with Doctor Qiu.

On the surface, Doctor Qiu moved into his mansion to treat his injury when Chu Liuzhou’s leg was hurt. After that, Infanta Yuan’an had an accident, and Doctor Qiu was sent to heal her wound. His treatment had worked well. But later, Shao Wanru was surprised to see Doctor Qiu in the Palace because Infanta Yuan’an’s injury had not recovered yet.

Infanta Yuan’an had been nervous and flustered, for her face might have been disfigured. Nevertheless, Doctor Qiu still entered the Palace. Chu Liuzhou ignored Infanta Yuan’an’s injury and sent Doctor Qiu to the Palace. Shao Wanru had thought he did it to please the Empress or he was worried about the Empress. Now, she realized Shao Yanru might have something to do with it.

At that time, Shao Yanru was in the Palace.

When Doctor Qiu was in the Palace, it was more convenient for Shao Yanru to contact him and get the medicine she wanted. If she had to pretend to be dead, she would be less likely to get into trouble with Doctor Qiu’s guidance.

“Is First Miss still with Prince Yue and Prince Zhou?” Yujie widened her eyes and asked in astonishment.

Shao Wanru smiled slightly with sarcasm in her eyes. It was not that Chu Liuzhou still wanted to marry Shao Yanru because she had bewitched him. They just took what they needed from each other.

Seemingly, she enchanted two princes, who were always obedient to her wishes. But did Shao Yanru genuinely believe she could be so influential?

Shao Yanru overestimated her value, thinking she could manipulate the two princes. In the end, she would come to a tragic ending. Of course, Shao Wanru would never let go of the chance to aggravate the situation for her.

Since they were destined to be opponents and had to fight to the death with each other, she certainly would not give Shao Yanru a chance to survive.

Shao Wanru looked out of the window without answering Yujie’s question. After taking a deep breath, she slowly ordered, “If Qing’er has any news, report it to me immediately!”

Chu Liuchen said he would inform Xiao Xuanzi of the latest news and ask him to pass the message to Qing’er. How could a Secondary Consort disappear from the Palace without leaving a trace?

“Don’t worry, My Lay. I know!” Yujie knew how important this matter was and nodded hurriedly.

“How is Mo Yan?” Shao Wanru changed the topic and asked.

“She behaves properly in her room. When I went to see her and mentioned the candlestick again, she appeared to know nothing about it. However, she paid special attention every time I spoke of the candlestick!” Yujie said with a sneer. Since she looked down on Shao Yanru, she certainly despised her two servant girls.

...

The two servant girls had done a lot of nasty things with Shao Yanru. Though Mo Yan looked pitiful now, she had secretly murdered many people.

“Keep an eye on her.” Shao Wanru nodded and picked up a blank invitation card beside her. After thinking for a while, she wrote something down. When she finished writing, she waited for the ink to dry and said, “Send it to the Marquis Xing’s Mansion. Tell them I want First Young Madam to come over for a chat!”

Some things should come to an end. A trace of fierceness flashed across her eyes.

At present, in the Marquis Xing’s Mansion, only Zhao Xiran had ulterior motives. It could be a good breakthrough point for Shao Wanru. Moreover, Third Madam was about to fulfill her promise. At this critical point, Shao Wanru needed someone to handle some things for her.

Zhao Xiran was a perfect candidate. She was smart and had other plans. At least, there was no conflict between their aims for the time being. Moreover, Zhao Xiran couldn’t accept such a concubine to be her mother-in-law…
