"You, you, I..." Princess Changle is too surprised to say a sentence. Why is she standing here? Qingqing gives her medicine to have her pretend to die, and ensures Jiujiu's guilt. After that she would wake up!           

"Mother!" Princess Changle, puzzled and not reconciled to admit the fact, gives a coquettish cry to the Empress.           

"Empress." Jiujiu also tries to attract her attention.            

"Shut up!" Empress Xiao's expression changes a little, and then she slows down an intonation, "Changle, keep quiet, please. It is Jiujiu who detoxifies you. So you shouldn't fool around."           

Now she totally understands that Jiujiu is really smart, and Princess Changle is not her opponent at all. It is impossible to trap her today. More importantly, Empress Xiao feels that maybe she really needs to change her mind.           

Ruan family's medical skills, Qingqing inherits up to 10%, and the real master is Jiujiu. If so, then she and Beiming Ting are both wrong in their original ideas.           

Now that it's wrong, it is necessary to stop loss immediately.           

"Empress, prince, may I leave here now?" Jiujiu looks at Empress Xiao and says calmly. Empress Xiao's observes her closely. From Jiujiu's appearance, she knows that the poor little girl does not live safe and sound.           

Jiujiu is one year older than Qingqing, but she looks much thinner than Qingqing, and her clothes are so humble. Compared with Jiujiu, Qingqing is much more brilliant, and she has excellent medical skills and good reputation. Although they are sisters, they are people of two worlds.

But now, Empress Xiao finds that Jiujiu is a little wild cat, and it is very difficult to find out her weakness.           

Whether Jiujiu's performance is that she suddenly changes her mind, or that she used to be disguised, doesn't matter. Whether she is more useful or not means a lot.           

She turns her eyes to Beiming Ting. His responses turn back with a flash of eyes to her. Empress Xiao gets it and then turns to Jiujiu gently as if she is not the one who wants to kill Jiujiu before.          

"Jiujiu, you don't look well. Go back and rest earlier."           

Jiujiu sneers in her heart, "What a hypocritical Empress!" but she doesn't have interest to prove her opinion, because her wounds are too serious to wait.           

"Jiujiu quit."           

Finis.h.i.+ng her words, she pays no attention to anyone and turns around, leaves for this place where one is apt to get into trouble, while Beiming Ting follows quickly.           

Jiujiu walks to the door and says,  "Your Highness, do you know I'm injured seriously? I beg your mercy to give me breathing time."           

Beiming Ting is startled and stops, looking at her thin figure, with a slight change in his mind.

Jiujiu, since you have changed and caught my attention, you do not want to escape from my control any more.           

"My son, what do you think of Jiujiu's words and deeds today?" Empress Xiao moves slowly to him, with a slight doubtful look.           

Beiming Ting smiles and seems admirable but sighs, "Very smart, but somewhat ignorant of life and death."          

"Mother, my seventh brother, how can you let that b.i.t.c.h leave?" Princess Changle has just been rebuked by the Empress, and now she has come back to her senses. But Jiujiu has gone, and she cannot accept the depressive fact.           

Beiming Ting frowns slightly, "His sister is too foolish".

Empress Xiao looks at the angry princess and then smiles slightly. "Changle, you are the princess of Tiansheng, Ruan Jiujiu is just an orphan. This is the palace. It's always troublesome to deal with her, but you can take an action out of here. So don't be afraid of losing chance to kill her"           

"Mother, do you mean..." Empress Xiao stopped her just now, but she encourages her to do what she wants. Princess Changle is surprised and then gets acknowledged about that. Her eyes flashes, "Thanks for your advice, mom. Now I understand."           

Looking at Princess Changle turning around excitedly and leaving, Beiming Ting twists his eyebrows slightly.           

"Don't worry. Changle has always been crude and rash."           

"Why do you let her go?" For a while, Beiming Ting does not understand. Empress Xiao's eyes narrows slightlyx with a smile, she says slowly, "Today she suddenly changes her temper, whether she is really smart or not can be proved if she can't protect herself; if not, she must have nothing to do with that matter."           

Beiming Ting's eyes darken slightly and then he nods quickly.           

Jiujiu leaves the palace and goes to her house along the route of the original owner's memory.           

At this time, she is free to deal with the messy information in her mind.           

When she cares about her past experience, she finds that it is really a tragedy!           

The original owner is just 15 years old. When she was five, her father died in the battle, and then her mother disappeared. Some people said that her mother died with the General Ruan, and there are also some rumors that she ran away with others. Anyway, there is no certain conclusion.           

But there is no influence on her life when she becomes an orphan, because she was just five or six years old at that time. Besides, she has the t.i.tle of princess, with the appointment of getting married with the princes. In addition, her family was wealthy, both with the status and fortune. Although there're still a lot of them cheated by ill persons, she still can live a good life before the age of 10. While there is a big change that happened when she was ten years old.

When the original owner was ten years old, Ruan Qingqing came to her family. Qingqing was the daughter of general Ruan's brother-in-law. Her parents died of illness. So she came to Ruan's house. She originally depends on Jiujiu's family for living and the original owner was very happy to have a sister as a companion. Unfortunately, less than a year, Ruan Qingqing suddenly got the attention of the Empress. Soon afterwards, with a casual excuse, the Empress took the t.i.tle of Jiujiu, named Qingqing as the Lotus princess, and even changed her marriage contract.           

Since then, the days of the original owner have been worse and worse, and the former owner's love for Qingqing has turned into fear, because Qingqing has done a lot of poisonous acts to the former owner, such as not giving food and clothes, or even ordering people to beat the former owner.           

Jiujiu grinds her teeth as she "recalls" the tragic memory. It is Qingqing who seems kind just like lotus, but she has the evil intention to let Jiujiu disappear. She used to torture her. But now, she cannot wait to trap her. She also gets involved with the Princess Changle, the Empress Xiao, and Beiming Ting.           

No, where on earth did the original owner offend Ruan Qingqing?           

From her memory, she never offended Qingqing, or even did not have any conflict with her. Is there some reason with Beiming Ting? But he has never paid attention to Qingqing. Then what does Qingqing fear about?           

After thinking of this for a while, she still couldn't figure it out. As soon as she looks up, Jiujiu has come to the gate of Ruan Mansion.           

Ruan Mansion was bestowed by the last emperor in Tiansheng. At that time, the Ruan family was loyal and heroic, so the Ruan family's mansion was also very luxurious. Although lot of servants are released nowadays, for the reputation and wealth of Qingqing, and her future imperial concubine, Ruan mansion still maintains its momentum.           

Taking a lightly breath, Jiujiu grinds her teeth and moves on.
