But the girl was in love and was determined to marry Duan Chen. In the end, Duan Chen was moved and let go of the time-traveling girl and married her.
After getting married, they had three sons and lived a peaceful life in the southwest. The family of five was happy and healthy, and no one remembered the time-traveling woman.
Unexpectedly, the King of Chu died of illness, and Duan Chen, his trusted aide, became the new general of the Southwest Army. Soon after, he met the time-traveling girl.
The man brought him a note with only one sentence on it.
[Fulfill your promise and help my son ascend the throne]
Duan Chen is a trustworthy man. Although he is extremely reluctant to get involved in the fight for the throne, he has to do it. In the end, he really uses the Southwest Army to help the son of the time-traveling woman ascend the throne and become emperor.
A few months after the new emperor ascended the throne, Duan Chen, who was originally as strong as an ox, began to become weak and died of illness a few years later.
His son found that his body was blue and purple in the face, and his lips and nails were black, as if he died of poisoning.
So he became furious and called a coroner. The coroner was very capable and concluded that Duan Chen died from the secret medicine of the previous dynasty, "Xu Jin Huan".
However, his son searched the entire Duan Mansion but could not find the thing that poisoned Duan Chen, and he almost died of anger.
When the emperor heard about this, he felt very sympathetic. He gave many gifts to appease the Duan family and promoted the officials in the Duan family.
Since the poison could not be found, the murderer could not be found, and in the end the matter had to be left unresolved.
This incident was only written casually in the book to explain the ending of the fish Duan Chen, as well as the endings of several other fish.
Some died of old age, some died of illness, and some went missing. Duan Chen was the most miserable. He was poisoned by a chronic poison and died after years of pain.
When recalling this plot, Yan Cheng suspected that Duan Chen was killed by the time-traveling girl, and her target was the Southwest Army in Duan Chen's hands.
The King of Chu, who had a large army under his command, could still make Emperor Jingxi uneasy, let alone a new emperor who was of a different surname and had only been on the throne for a few years?
The symptoms of Duan Chen before his death described in the book are very similar to the symptoms Yan Zhaoyi is experiencing now, except that Duan Chen died faster and Yan Zhaoyi died slower.
If both of them were really drugged by Yang Guifei, the former used more poison every day, while the latter used less, so she could live longer.
All of this is just Yan Cheng's guess. Without any evidence, Yan Cheng himself cannot tell the truth.
When Nanny Liu took Concubine Yan's pulse again, Yan Cheng was thinking about what he would do if it was confirmed that his aunt was poisoned by Concubine Yang.
His aunt had been very kind to him when he was a child, and she still cared about him after entering the palace. If someone really poisoned his aunt, he would definitely have to retaliate.
Is it really necessary to let the son of the time-traveling woman ascend the throne as the plot develops?
What if he returns the favor to Yang Guifei, and she doesn't catch it and dies accidentally? What if the Ninth Prince finds out about it after he ascends the throne?
Or we should find a way to change the plot. If the Ninth Prince fails to ascend the throne, let's find someone else to be the emperor.
Yan Cheng thought this was a good idea and asked him to think about which brother would benefit from ascending the throne.
Well, it would be better for this brother to be more tolerant and not kill his brothers as soon as he ascends the throne.
