Seeing Qi Shuoyu walk in dressed in court attire startled Shen Danru.

"You, how did you get here? You, you, you..."

Wearing a dragon robe, aren't you afraid of being beheaded?

When Qi Shuoyu saw that she had woken up, he could no longer control himself and went forward to hug Shen Danru.

Qingtan silently left the room, giving the two space to reunite.

It turned out she had been poisoned, and she slept for five years.

For some reason, after Qi Shuoyu gathered all the medicinal herbs, he quickly notified Lei Chi and sent them to the divine physician's residence to prepare the antidote. However, Shen Danru did not wake up for a long time after taking it.

During these five years, Qi Shuoyu seized the throne and, disregarding the opposition of his court officials, made her, who was in a coma, his empress.

The revenge for his grandfather has been taken. The culprit who murdered his grandmother, Lan Yangyang, was the emperor. The reason was that the third prince at the time, who was also Qi Jingcheng's father, wanted to win over Shen Shi, but Shen Shi refused.

In order to provide Lan Yangyang with a stable life, Shen Shi petitioned the late emperor to retire from military service and return to his hometown to become an ordinary farmer.

The Third Prince thought that Shen Shi's refusal was just an excuse to get rid of him, but that he was secretly trying to curry favor with the Crown Prince. He held a grudge and decided to kill Lan Yangyang first to see what other excuse Shen Shi would have.

After the Third Prince successfully ascended the throne, Shen Shi guarded the frontier. As Shen Shi's prestige grew, the Prince became afraid and wanted to kill Shen Shi.

So they found Shen Tuo and promised him the title of Duke of Shen after he successfully killed Shen Shi.

Shen Shi joined forces with Qi Shuoyu to find and eliminate all their old enemies. At the same time, Shen Shi also put Qi Shuoyu on the throne.

After examining Shen Danru, the imperial physician smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Empress is out of danger."

Qi Shuoyu was finally relieved.

"Ru'er, you have no idea how much I've missed you these past five years. I will never let you leave my side again."

Qi Shuoyu held Shen Danru tightly, refusing to let go.

Shen Danru was so breathless from his embrace that she couldn't breathe. When Eunuch Yu hesitated to speak, Shen Danru finally said:

"Your Majesty, we will have plenty of time to talk later. It is more important to deal with the important matters at hand."

Qi Shuoyu then realized that the officials were still waiting, and he reluctantly said to Shen Danru:

"Ru'er, lie down and rest first. Be good and wait for me here. I'll be back in a little while."

"Eunuch Yu, instruct the imperial chefs to prepare some easily digestible food."

Seeing Qi Shuoyu leave, Shen Danru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't ready, so why did she suddenly get married?

"ah…"

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong?"

Hearing the shouts, Qingtan rushed in, along with Chunmei, Chunlan, and several maids whom Shen Danru did not recognize.

She couldn't explain it to everyone.

When she tried to access the system, she found it was gone.

Thinking back to what Qingtan had told her when she first woke up, the poison must have been too potent; an ordinary person would die within half an hour, but she managed to wait until the antidote was prepared.

It must have been the system that sacrificed itself to suppress the poison in order to save her.

Thinking about how the system had saved him twice, Shen Danru felt a pang of emotion.

Seeing everyone looking at her with some concern, she had no choice but to suppress her sadness.

"It's okay, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"By the way, Qingtan, you've combed your hair. Does this mean you've married my second brother?"

Qingtan readily admitted, "Yes, Miss, we originally planned to get married after you woke up, but it was my grandfather who made the decision for us to get married first."

Thinking of her grandfather, Shen Danru's eyes welled up with tears, and she asked, "Grandfather... is he alright?"

Her grandfather must have been extremely worried after she was poisoned.

"Don't worry, Miss. Grandfather is in good health and is currently at home playing with his great-grandson. Now that you're awake, he must be overjoyed."

"You've already married my second brother, and you still call me 'Miss'? You should call me 'Second Sister' instead."

"What? I'm an aunt now? You and my second brother have a child?"

Realizing the importance of the matter, Shen Danru asked excitedly.

“It’s not our child, it’s my eldest brother’s child. My second brother and I have discussed it. Although we are married, I have decided to stay in the palace to take care of Miss. We can discuss having a child after Miss wakes up.”

Shen Danru's eyes suddenly felt a burning sensation.

"Thank you, Qingtan."

She took Qingtan in when she first picked her up, but she wasn't particularly kind to her. However, Qingtan has been devoted to her ever since, treating her like her own sister.

Now that Qingtan is her second sister-in-law, it can be considered that she has been given a good explanation.

If her second brother dares to treat her sister badly, she will no longer consider him her brother.

Qingtan recounted the events that had occurred in the Duke's mansion over the past five years, including the birth of her eldest sister, Shen Yulan, who had given birth to a daughter and a son.

The eldest brother, Shen Yu'an, gave up many daughters of princes and nobles to marry Liu Xiangzhu. The two are very loving and now have a son.

Shen Yuyan has been studying diligently and has now passed the imperial examination, ranking first among the top three. She is now waiting for today's palace examination.

It turned out that Qi Shuoyu had put aside his important business and rushed to see her when he heard that she had woken up.

"Your Majesty, Princess Nanyang requests an audience."

"Please come in quickly."

Just as Shen Danru was about to get up, Princess Nanyang hurriedly entered and quickly helped her up.

"Your Majesty, please lie down. There are no outsiders here. I just happened to come to the palace today and heard that my niece-in-law has woken up. How are you feeling?"

Princess Nanyang returned to Shengjing for Qi Shuoyu.

At that time, the Duke of Shen's mansion and Qi Shuoyu were already bound together. It can be said that the addition of Princess Nanyang greatly increased the chances of winning this coup.

"Thank you for your care, Princess Nanyang. I am much better now."

"Oh dear, now that you've married Yu'er, you should call me aunt."

"Aunt, thank you!"

This "thank you" was not just a superficial thank you; it was Shen Danru's heartfelt gratitude towards her.

Princess Nanyang pulled Shen Danru aside and gave her a long explanation before leaving the palace.

"Your Majesty, the list of candidates for the imperial examination has been released. Our third son has won the title of this year's top scholar."

Chunlan stepped forward with a smile to share the good news.

"Really? Yu Yan, Yu Yan became the top scholar in the imperial examination?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. This year's top scholar is our family's third son, Shen Yuyan."

"Alright, alright, alright, prepare the carriage, I'm leaving the palace."

Good lad, the newly appointed top scholar at eighteen years old, Yu Yan has really made his second sister proud.

She felt proud to think that she was the one who enlightened this year's top scorer!

Women in this era were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, and it was Yu Yan who fulfilled her second sister's dream.

"Your Majesty, should we inform the Emperor before we leave the palace? He should be finishing his court session soon."

"No, no! Quickly change your clothes and get out of the palace. Otherwise, if the Emperor returns, we definitely won't be able to leave the palace."

So, Qingtan and her maids hurriedly left the palace.

Qi Shuoyu had just finished court when a eunuch reported that the Empress had left the palace.

"Give the order to prepare the imperial carriage and proceed to the Duke of Shen's residence."
