Along the way, Chen Siyuan and Qiao Zhen talked a lot.

"You succeeded." Chen Siyuan gave Qiao Zhen an affirmative answer.

Qiao Zhen smiled and nodded, "It's alright."

"You need to be careful, that person is no ordinary person."

"What did you say, sister-in-law?" Qiao Zhen looked at Chen Siyuan, originally thinking she was just flattering her, but when she heard the next sentence, Qiao Zhen couldn't stay calm.

"It is very likely that he will hold the highest position in the future."

Highest?

Among the princes, the highest position was that of the emperor.

Qiao Zhen has been going to great lengths to please the Third Prince lately because of this.

She was quite certain that what she saw every time she went to the palace would happen, and she figured that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Third Prince would be the future emperor.

"I'm just telling you that he's not an ordinary person. Don't have too many thoughts about yourself in front of someone like him." Everyone who has experienced the trials of the imperial palace is a shrewd old fox.

The third prince is not old, but he has lived in the palace since childhood. In addition, he has an unusual experience, and his eyes are even more discerning.

“Yes.” Qiao Zhen thought so too.

Even now, Chen Siyuan still cares about her so much; she feels it's good to have a sister-in-law like that.

Thinking it over, she shifted her position again and whispered in Chen Siyuan's ear, "Someone is trying to harm Second Brother."

She spoke very softly, but Qiao Zhenyou happened to pick up a handkerchief and asked, "Isn't it a very unique pattern?"

Chen Siyuan caught a glimpse of a hem of a garment as it approached, and realizing what was going on, she quickly said, "You have the best embroidery I've ever seen."

"Sister-in-law?" Qiao Zhen was unwilling.

"I remember someone saying they would give me a sachet. I wonder when someone will keep that promise?"

"I understand," Qiao Zhen said somewhat reluctantly, but she still relented.

The Third Prince approached and said, "If the First-Rank Lady likes them, I will have a few sent over tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chen Siyuan bowed and looked up at the Third Prince. "One is fine. I don't want my younger sister to suffer too much."

This clearly means that the sachet must be made by Qiao Zhen.

The Third Prince looked at Chen Siyuan with an imposing aura.

Chen Siyuan also disagreed. If what Qiao Zhen said earlier was true, it was very likely that the person who wanted to harm Qiao Yuchen was the Third Prince.

She didn't want to clash with the future emperor, especially the third prince. If it was because of Qiao Yuchen, she wouldn't mind and was willing to risk everything.

The Third Prince looked at Chen Siyuan.

This woman dared to look him straight in the eye, without a trace of fear in her eyes.

They have guts.

She looked and looked, then glanced at Tao Yifan standing beside her.

What a pity.

She was originally his wife, but she was taken away by someone, and it was even the Seventh Prince's woman. This is just too much!

Tao Yifan seemed to be provoked and turned to look to the side.

This is a deep pain in his heart that he can never erase.

If he could, he definitely wouldn't want things to have come to this.

Chen Siyuan seemed unaware of the subtle eye contact between men.

Seeing that the Third Prince did not speak, she turned around, put away her handkerchief, and gave a slight bow, saying, "Thank you for the Third Prince's wife's reward."

After saying this, Chen Siyuan bowed to the Third Prince again and quickly left with her maid.

Chen Siyuan quickly disappeared into the crowd.

The Third Prince looked at Qiao Zhen and noticed that her eyes were red. He then saw Tao Yifan, who seemed lost in thought, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

Over the years, he has always been able to control his emotions well, but at this moment, he is somewhat unable to control himself.

He abruptly shook off Qiao Zhen's hand and strode away.

Qiao Zhen was left standing there, and soon guards arrived to protect her.

Qiao Zhen kept looking into the distance until she could no longer see the Third Prince, then she turned around and continued strolling through the night market.

That was her purpose in coming out; she unexpectedly saw Chen Siyuan and was able to pass on the message, which was a good thing.

She was overjoyed to be out and about without having to follow too many rules. As for the anger of others, she didn't care and was naturally indifferent.

She was shopping alone, and even though she knew there was a group of people following her, she didn't care.

The current Qiao Zhen is no longer the same person she used to be.

Now she has not only established herself in the Third Prince's residence, but has also gained the Third Prince's attention.

She knew in her heart that the Third Prince had not yet fallen in love with her, and that she still needed to work harder to achieve her goals.

Thanks to Chen Siyuan's reminder, she learned how to win the Third Prince's favor.

hehe--

Honestly, not caring about a person is the best approach.

Thinking of the woman she had vaguely seen wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, she was determined to find her.

Only when that woman dies can she truly rest easy.

Only by standing at an absolute high point can one influence the lives of others.

This is not her fault; she was a victim of others' manipulation. Why didn't she find a better future for herself?

As she pondered, Qiao Zhen seemed to realize that when she truly succeeded, the first person she would thank was Chen Siyuan.

She showed me the direction for my future.

......

General's Mansion.

Beiyuan.

Chen Siyuan suffered from insomnia again.

Qiao Yuchen wrote to me as usual today, and what Qiao Zhen said made me nervous.

Then she thought of what Qiao Yuchen said when he left. He must have known something, otherwise he wouldn't have said, "No matter what you see or hear, don't believe it."

What will happen?

After thinking about it all night, I suffered from insomnia again, and the next day I woke up with huge dark circles under my eyes.
