Chen Siyuan knew that the letter in her previous life was a conspiracy between Song Ji and Chen Xin to frame her.

Seeing someone she had never seen up close in her previous life right in front of her now, her anger erupted.

He lifted his foot and kicked it out.

The man narrowly avoided it.

Chen Siyuan gasped for breath, looking at the man in front of her. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she bent down to pick up the hairpin on the ground and rushed over to him without thinking.

Last time I rushed forward to save my own life; this time I'm rushing forward to avenge my past self.

Just as it was about to be inserted into the other person's body, suddenly there was a snap, and the hairpin in her hand broke.

The remaining half was still in his hand; the other half had indeed fallen to the ground.

"I spared you this time, but I didn't expect you to be so determined to die."

Chen Siyuan lost her mind in rage; all she could think about was how to kill this person and avenge herself in her past life.

"Miss Chen, you certainly have guts!" The other person turned around and easily sat down on the bed.

Chen Siyuan wanted to make a move, but at that moment she tragically discovered that she couldn't move.

Her enemy was right in front of her, yet she couldn't move an inch.

She stared intently at the man in front of her. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick flowers," the man said, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"If you want to find cauliflower, go to the vegetable garden. What are you doing in my room?" Unable to move her body, she could only use her mouth and brain.

The man seemed to have never encountered such a difficult woman before. "How could Miss Chen know how to detoxify?"

"Won't."

"No? You must remember that ghost bead, right?"

Chen Siyuan's heart skipped a beat.

The Ghost Pearl is a poison of the Chen Kingdom, and the person in front of me is the fifth prince of the Chen Kingdom. Could it be that the Chen Kingdom had the intention to conquer the Shang Kingdom so long ago?

"Don't want to talk about it?" the man said, taking out a hairpin. "You should know this Miss Chen, right?"

This hairpin is a pair with the one we used as a weapon earlier; the pendant is a slightly different color.

Chen Siyuan was startled and met the man's gaze.

She had a devastating realization: it seemed her chances of survival were slim.

She suddenly looked up at the man in front of her, her mind blank.

Could it be that the poison in Qiao Yuchen's body was administered by the fifth prince of Chen?

Back then, she was only focused on intercepting the deal and preventing Chen Xin from connecting with influential people in the capital. She was in a hurry to save people that day and didn't have a long-term plan. Qiao Yuchen left on his own, and there were many things she didn't have time to deal with. Later, many things happened to the Chen family, and she was busy dealing with them, so she didn't take this matter to heart.

At first, she thought the hairpin must have fallen somewhere and she would find it after a while. Now she realized that her carelessness had cost her her life.

A chill ran through her as she looked at the man before her; she was truly going all out.

Living means seeing tomorrow's sun; dying means the end of everything.

"Young master, you came here in the middle of the night with one of my hairpins. Is it just to return it to its rightful owner?"

"You admit that this hairpin is yours?"

Chen Siyuan nodded, "It's mine."

As the fifth prince of Chen, how could he appear in Shang, and in such a way? Just how many people have their eyes on Nancheng, this auspicious place, and why are so many important figures arriving one after another?

She felt that her rebirth did not seem to have been blessed by heaven.

Tao Yifan is the Third Prince's right-hand man and a major contributor to the Third Prince's future ascension to the throne.

Qiao Yuchen, five years later, is known as the Ghost-Faced General and a great hero who defended the territory from foreign invasion.

The fifth prince of the Chen Kingdom.

Five years later, he became the most valued son of the King of Chen.

One important person after another arrived; what incredible luck did she have?

Thinking of this, Chen Siyuan frowned deeply.

The man's purple eyes gleamed, as if a wild beast in the night had spotted a delicious meal and couldn't help but drool with anticipation.

"Miss Chen, you've got some nerve, staring straight at me... You're the first woman I've ever had." With that, he stretched out his hand, his long, slender fingers brushing against the corner of her lips.

"Hmph—" Chen Siyuan felt displeased at being teased, but even more so, she felt resentful.

"If you tell me how to remove the ghost bead, I can keep your secret for now."

Chen Siyuan was too inexperienced to know if what this person said was true. If it was true, it meant that she wouldn't have to die for the time being.

After thinking about it, it seemed that this was the only way for him to survive.

"Let me go."

The man smiled. "Okay."

Chen Siyuan didn't see how he did it, but her body, which had been frozen in place, suddenly became mobile.

After stretching for a bit, he said directly, "The method to remove the ghost bead isn't too difficult. All you need is leeches and realgar wine."

That's all?

"Um."

"Impossible." The man couldn't accept it.

"Why not?"

"Then tell me, how did you do it?"

Chen Siyuan stared at the man, thought for a moment, and slowly said, "After being afflicted by the Ghost Pearl, a person's body has six breakthrough points. As long as all of these points are killed within six hours, everything will be fine."

"impossible."

"Believe it or not." Chen Siyuan seemed unafraid.

So what if a man entered her room in the middle of the night and was seen by outsiders, which might damage her reputation? It's not a big deal to her.

She didn't want to get married, she just wanted to live. As for reputation, that was something she didn't care about!

Often, if you don't feel embarrassed about something, it's others who feel embarrassed.

"Please be more specific."

Chen Siyuan sighed and explained in more detail. After she finished speaking, she saw the man's appearance and felt a little sorry for him.

After thinking for a while, the man seemed to finally accept this explanation.

“Miss Chen, you are young but have a lot of experience.”

Chen Siyuan said slowly, "It's nothing. My grandfather gave me many treasures, including this method of detoxification."

The man stared at Chen Siyuan, grinned, brandished the hairpin in his hand, and then turned and left through the window.

Chen Siyuan wanted to chase after him to get her hairpin back, but then a clear, crisp voice came from outside.

"Miss Chen, remember this: I am Ruoli."

If we part?

This person is not the name of the fifth prince of Chen Kingdom. Why is he telling me this?

What frustrated Chen Siyan even more was her hairpin.

There were two in total. One was taken away by the fifth prince of Chen, and the remaining one was also rendered useless.

Damn it!

She barely escaped with her life, but she suffered a huge loss!
