"Don't worry, she won't have a good time," Consort Qing said fiercely.

Princess Qiya suddenly looked up at Consort Qing, "Mother... Consort Qing, what do you know?" Realizing she had misspoke, she quickly corrected herself.

When Consort Qing heard this, she couldn't bear to scold her daughter and said, "The Empress Dowager gave Chen Siyuan a poisonous bracelet that releases poison whenever it comes into contact with water."

"Really?" Princess Qiya finally smiled upon hearing this.

She already knew about this, but she didn't know the bracelet was poisonous. Thinking of this, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

As long as Chen Siyuan dies, she can live again openly and legitimately.

"Of course." I don't know why the Empress Dowager dislikes Chen Siyuan, but this is a good thing.

This time, Consort Qing didn't just want Chen Siyuan's life, but also her second sister, her dear sister. From the moment the incident happened until now, she had refused to help her. If her second sister had been willing to lend a hand, she wouldn't be in this sorry state today.

Upon realizing this, Consort Qing's face instantly darkened, and she almost whispered, "Qiao Yuchen supports the Seventh Prince, while the Third Prince values ​​Tao Yifan."

Princess Qiya reacted quickly and soon realized that Chen Siyuan and Tao Yifan had been engaged, but later she married Qiao Yuchen. If this matter was handled well, it would be normal for one or two people to die.

Princess Qiya is not the original Princess Qiya. She is quick-witted, and as long as she is not blinded by love and jealousy, she will make a meticulous plan.

Consort Qing reminded them from the side, "We can't be so rash this time. We can also ask others for help."

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Princess Qiya laughed. She was still drunk, but her confidence had returned. She could eliminate her opponents without lifting a finger, something she excelled at.

When Consort Qing saw that Princess Qiya understood, she quickly left.

Princess Qiya changed her previous dejected state, took a bath, and then sent Xu Mama out to do things for her. When there were only a few people left in Ganquan Palace, several guards appeared behind Princess Qiya.

"Go to Nancheng to investigate everything about Tao Yifan and Chen Siyuan."

"Yes." One of the guards left.

"Keep a close eye on Chen Siyuan's every move in the capital. I need to know all her whereabouts."

"Yes." A man in black left.

"Keep an eye on Tao Yifan. I need to know every single contact he has with Chen Siyuan." Princess Qiya couldn't believe that anyone could sever ties so cleanly.

Since we intend to start with Tao Yifan, we naturally need to investigate thoroughly.

Everything about them in the past will be the beginning of her getting together with Qiao Yuchen.

Only by permanently eliminating Chen Siyuan can Qiao Yuchen truly become his own.

With all the guards gone, the entire Ganquan Palace returned to the tranquility of the night.

At this moment, Princess Qiya couldn't fall asleep.

He started drinking with others again, but this time he wasn't drinking to drown his sorrows; he was thinking about his next plans.

It's a good thing that the Empress Dowager doesn't like Chen Siyuan; if it weren't for Consort Qing's arrival, she wouldn't have known this secret.

Back then, Chen Siyuan ruined herself by using the Empress Dowager, and she used the Empress Dowager to completely ruin Chen Siyuan.

Holding his wine glass, he looked out at the night sky, a chilling smile playing on his lips. "Chen Siyuan, take good care of yourself!"

These past few days she's been desperately trying to get Qiao Yuchen and get rid of Chen Siyuan, and her actions have been too direct, which has led her to this point.

She had been foolish in the past, but now, with the Empress Dowager around, she wouldn't be so stupid.

......

The Third Prince's Residence.

The Third Prince has been in a bad mood lately.

A wedding should be a joyous occasion.

When the Third Prince returned from outside, he heard that Qiao Zhen was still lying in bed.

Thinking about this, he was very worried.

Because of Qiao Zhen's poor health, she has not yet returned to her parents' home.

When asked by people from the general's mansion, he could only tell the truth.

Several days passed, and Qiao Zhen's health still did not improve.

He was originally going to the study, but went to the west courtyard first.

Upon arriving at the West Garden, they saw Qiao Zhen's maidservant serving her medicine.

Seeing that Qiao Zhen had obviously lost weight, he felt a little guilty.

Their union was more about mutual benefit, but seeing a perfectly healthy woman become so thin and gaunt after marrying into this family was quite a shock.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

They summoned the steward and the imperial physician, who said everything was fine and there was nothing wrong.

Qiao Zhen also showed her consideration, saying that it would be better in a few days.

The Third Prince was too busy, so he offered a few words of comfort, then instructed someone to take good care of Qiao Zhen before leaving.

Seeing the young lady like this, Juhong felt sad.

The Third Prince must know what kind of life they led after arriving at the Third Prince's residence.

Every day it's just a routine question, nothing more.

She felt sorry for the young lady.

"Young Miss, perhaps we should..."

"Call me the Third Prince's Consort," Qiao Zhen corrected.

Juhong was displeased, but obedient nonetheless, "Third Prince's Consort, perhaps this servant should return to the General's Mansion and ask the Young Madam..."

"What did you say to your sister-in-law? Did you say I'm not doing well here?" Qiao Zhen had lost a lot of weight, and various tonics were piled up like a small mountain around her.

Who would believe such a statement?

Besides, the Third Prince is no ordinary person.

Her sister-in-law would definitely stand up for her, but she didn't want to trouble her.

"Alright, go and brew the medicine."

"Yes." Orange-reddened eyes.

If she had known that marrying into the family would mean such humiliation for her, she should have... she should have... Considering her status, she said nothing and could only behave properly.
