Chen Siyi's expression immediately changed, and she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant, I..."
Xiao Yuan said coldly, "You are unwilling to enter the palace as Xiao Cheng's concubine, and I promised to give you the position of a secondary consort, and I have not broken my promise, so why are you in such a hurry?"
He stared coldly at the meticulously dressed woman before him: "The princess was instigated to do something wrong, and I just sent her to Fenglin Temple to practice Buddhism. Do you think it's appropriate for you to enter the manor at this time?"
Chen Siyi's eyes immediately filled with tears, and she said pitifully, "That's precisely why I feel I shouldn't stay in Hangzhou, I..."
"Fine! Since you're leaving, I'll send someone to escort you safely to Kyoto!" Xiao Yuan no longer wanted to listen to the woman's hypocritical words and interrupted her directly.
Chen Siyi was incredulous, her face turning pale instantly: "What...what did you say? You're going to send me to Kyoto?"
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at her: "Fang Mingzhu's wet nurse, Liu, saw someone in the Dingminfang Xiawazi area ten days ago."
When the time and place were mentioned, Chen Siyi suddenly felt her head explode with a "boom".
"That person is holding several indentures, which should be indentures of Liu's son, daughter-in-law, and grandson." Xiao Yuan watched the changes in Chen Siyi's face with interest. "That person is threatening her. If she gives Fang Mingzhu advice according to their wishes, they will return these indentures to her."
Chen Siyi's face was completely stiff.
"In order to save her son's family, Liu had no choice but to agree, which led to Fang Mingzhu hiring someone to kill the Su family."
Xiao Yuan sneered, "Chen, do you know who forced Liu to instigate Fang Mingzhu to poison the Su family?"
Chen Siyi was teetering on the brink of collapse.
"There's one more thing!" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but press his temples. "Do you know who gave Liu Qiao'er the mercury?"
Chen Siyi shook her head violently: "I don't know!"
“It was given to her by a man, and now she has gone insane, or more precisely, she was given drugs to disrupt her mind beforehand.” Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at her. “And the man who deceived her probably doesn’t know that Liu Qiao’er is already two months pregnant.”
Chen Siyi was shocked.
Xiao Yuan's gaze turned icy as he stared at her: "Do you know who this man is?"
"I don't know! I don't know!" Chen Siyi shook her head violently. Looking at the gaze the man opposite her was giving her, she suddenly regretted it.
Xiao Yuan wasn't as easy to fool as she thought!
"I just want to know, what were the conditions Yue Jin made when he helped you with these things?"
Xiao Yuan stared at her coldly.
Chen Siyi feigned innocence: "What? It's Yue Jin? How could it be him?"
Xiao Yuan laughed: "You really are a good actor; even the most skilled performers can't act as well as you."
The innocent panic on Chen Siyi's face gradually disappeared.
At that moment, she felt the disdainful mockery from the man opposite her.
“Xiao Yuan, back then, if my father hadn’t wavered, you would have married me, right?” Chen Siyi gradually calmed down. “Actually, I should be the most suitable queen for you.”
If she had married him back then, everything would have been different.
Xiao Yuandao said, "Perhaps."
"But your father betrayed me in the end!"
Chen Siyi suddenly laughed, wiping away her tears: "So, for the sake of the Su family, you're actually going to give me to Xiao Cheng?"
Xiao Yuan looked at her coldly: "It's not because of her, but because your methods are too insidious. The Prince's Mansion cannot tolerate your existence."
Before this incident, he had promised to give Chen Siyi and her daughter a place to stay. Although he would take her as a concubine, he would not let them stay in the palace, but would send them directly to Tanzhou.
But unexpectedly, she took advantage of my absence from Hangzhou to meticulously plan the poisoning of the Su family and frame Fang Mingzhu.
Fang Mingzhu may be foolish and despicable, but she is not as vicious as Chen Siyi.
How could his palace tolerate the existence of such a wicked woman?
I was planning to go to the west courtyard later to tell Madam Cui first, and then send the Chen mother and daughter away.
Unexpectedly, she came to see him ahead of time and even put on a weak appearance as a way of advancing by retreating.
If it weren't for the secret guards brought by Cui Yun'er discovering the clues about what she was doing, he would probably still be in the dark.
Since that's the case, he won't kill her; instead, he'll present her to Xiao Cheng as a great gift!
"What right does she, a woman who has given birth, have to compete with me?" Chen Siyi suddenly lost control and screamed, "She doesn't even want to be your concubine, everything you've done for her has been in vain!"
"She won't appreciate your kindness at all. She's such a shameless woman who sleeps with anyone, she'll get you killed in the end!"
"I'm not like you, an ungrateful viper!"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Chen Siyi.
Chen Siyi turned around abruptly and saw the woman standing at the door.
She was like a pampered young lady raised in a noble family, with a face like a crescent moon and a demeanor like snow piled on flowering trees, possessing a rare elegance and gentle grace.
A ray of sunlight shone through the eaves outside, falling on her eyelashes and painting them with a layer of scattered gold, making her eyes appear as deep as a mountain pool.
Su Xuerong's gaze passed over Chen Siyi's distorted and deformed face, and she curtsied to the heavens: "Your Highness."
Xiao Yuan nodded to her: "Although I promised you last night that I would give you an explanation, her identity is special, so I can only help you send her to Xiao Cheng in the north."
Chen Siyi had never felt so humiliated.
She, a princess of Xiangyang, was being discussed like a commodity, with people debating where she should be sent.
But the other party was a lowly commoner woman whom she had always looked down upon!
Su Xuerong bowed to Xiao Yuan again: "Thank you, Your Highness. I will leave this matter to you."
Chen Siyi suddenly roared, "What right do you, a bitch, have to decide where I go? I..."
She suddenly lunged at Su Xuerong.
Suddenly, a leg shot out from the side and kicked her in the chest, sending her flying several feet backward and crashing heavily into a pillar behind her.
Xiao Yuan kicked out, shielding Su Xuerong, and immediately shouted, "Take her down!"
The guards rushed in and held Chen Siyi firmly in place.
Chen Siyi's hands were tied behind her back. Her face was tilted back as she looked at them, her eyes bloodshot. She screamed hoarsely, "Xiao Yuan, if you have the guts, kill me! If I get into the palace, I'll make Xiao Cheng kill you and this bitch, tear you both to pieces..."
The guard immediately knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck and dragged her away.
Xiao Yuan turned to look at Su Xuerong: "Are you alright?"
When he learned that Chen Siyi had come to see him, he specially sent someone to pick her up so that she would know the truth about the plot against the Su family.
Su Xuerong frowned as she watched Chen Siyi being led away, and said softly, "Your Highness, are you really going to send her to the North to...that person?"
"What else? Keep her here to continue harming others?"
Su Xuerong turned her gaze back to him: "Your Highness, if I may be so bold, I think that if you really send her to the North, it would be like raising a tiger to cause trouble!"
