Otherwise, why would the emperor frame him like this?

"It's just an imperial edict bestowing upon you the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, what's so interesting about that?" Qiao Yuchen said, putting away the edict, then looking at the woman and lowering his voice to remind her, "They can't know about this."

Knowing that Chen Siyuan had a good relationship with the two maids, this matter was too important to be taken lightly.

"What should we do then?"

"Keep it for now, and see when that old bastard dies."

Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan, who had been tense, suddenly relaxed and smiled.

"The higher-ups didn't name anyone, does that mean I'll be in charge?"

"It should be."

The two fell silent at this point in their conversation.

It is precisely because of this "should" that I am even more afraid.

The two of them cursed the old emperor in their hearts, "You old fool, aren't you trying to kill people?"

The two were silent for a while, Chen Siyuan still somewhat confused, "What do we do now?"

"Hide it first," Qiao Yuchen said, then suddenly looked at the woman, "Who else has seen this?"

"I fell out of the Cining Palace once." She dared not admit that it was intentional.

If she had known the Emperor would issue such an imperial decree, she would never have dared to cause trouble.

"They saw it?"

"Probably not, but she doesn't look well."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuchen lost his composure and rummaged through his belongings to find the imperial edict that had conferred upon Chen Siyuan the title of Lady Yiping.

Fortunately, the colors are the same, so we can fool them for now.

"Use this to cover it up first, and you can hide this thing yourself."

"I'll just hand it over to you." Chen Siyuan didn't think much of it and simply tossed the thing to Qiao Yuchen.

He's a man, and he has so many identities; if he hides something, no one should be able to find it.
