After Wang Li finished his work and received the signal, he immediately headed to the General's Mansion. On the way, he saw Chen Siyuan, who was injured and unconscious.
Without saying a word, he immediately slashed his own wrist.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion, the wound on Chen Siyuan's shoulder had disappeared.
However, her clothes were covered in bloodstains, which couldn't be concealed.
Fortunately, there was a cloak in the carriage. By wearing the cloak on the outside and taking advantage of the darkness, it would not be easily discovered.
When they returned to Dongyuan, Chen Siyuan's body had already reached its limit.
The moment she lay down on the bed, Chen Siyuan told Chunlan to burn the blood-stained clothes immediately, and then told Chunping to prepare tonics for herself and Wang Li.
What happened today might be able to fool ordinary people, but it's impossible to fool those who are watching you.
Her most important task now is to destroy all the evidence, and she hopes that Tao Yifan can be more rational and start cleaning up the mess immediately.
If we wait until tomorrow, things will escalate, and who knows how badly it will get.
The struggle between the princes is fierce, and if the Fourth Prince's men find out about this, they will surely tear them apart.
Tao Yifan is a member of the Third Prince's faction, and she married Qiao Yuchen, who in turn is a member of the Seventh Prince's faction. Making a big fuss about this would benefit many people.
The thought of this gives me a real headache.
That's why I went there even though I knew it was inappropriate.
Before things escalate to an unmanageable point, cutting losses as quickly as possible is the most important thing right now.
Chunping arrived quickly and delivered the tonics to Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan looked at the small bowl in front of her and smiled.
I've been treated quite well since my rebirth, and I've been able to eat all the things I couldn't bear to part with in my previous life.
Unfortunately, she had too many things to do, and her injuries, which had just healed, were reopened.
Thinking of this, he looked at Chunping and asked, "Did you send it to Wang Li?"
"Yes, it has been sent over." Wang Li's body is different, and he recovers quickly. According to Wang Li, he doesn't need any supplements at all, but he obediently ate them as instructed by the young lady.
Chunping was very grateful for Wang Li's different attitude; otherwise, she didn't know what would have happened.
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan picked up the small bowl and drank it down in a few gulps.
Chunping saw that the young lady was very tired, so she helped her lie down.
In the blink of an eye, the young lady had fallen asleep.
Chunping carefully stood guard beside her.
The young lady has really had it tough.
The situation had just calmed down when another incident occurred, which even made her, as a maid, feel very distressed.
Hopefully, after this experience, Tao Yifan won't drag the young lady down again.
As I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a noise outside.
Chunping quickly got up, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Qiao Yuchen returning with a gloomy face.
At this moment, she couldn't bear to look at Qiao Yuchen.
Qiao Yuchen only had eyes for Chen Siyuan, nothing else.
When he got closer, he glanced at her pale face, which broke his heart.
"Yuan'er—" she called softly, but there was no response. She then immediately checked on Chen Siyuan.
Aside from being a little weak, there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.
He glanced at Chunping beside him and walked towards the outer hall.
Chunping understood and followed them to the outer hall.
Qiao Yuchen stood with his hands behind his back. "What exactly happened?"
He rushed over after receiving the news, but the place was deserted. He noticed that the bloodstains on the ground had not been thoroughly cleaned up.
He didn't know whose blood it was, but he realized that apart from Chen Siyuan, who was the weakest, everyone else seemed to have martial arts skills. With that thought in mind, he rushed back immediately.
Chunping was frightened. Without the young lady's prompting, she didn't know what to say. Now that Qiao Yuchen seemed to know something, what should she do?
Just as I was wondering what to do, I suddenly heard a noise coming from the inner palace.
"Chunping—" The voice was very weak, but it saved Chunping.
Chunping immediately got up and ran inside, but at that moment, a shadow was faster than her.
When Chunping arrived at the inner hall, Qiao Yuchen was already holding Chen Siyuan's hand, and his expression softened.
"How are you? Where does it hurt?"
"Why are you back?" Chen Siyuan woke up when she heard Qiao Yuchen's noise. At this moment, she saw Chunping's expression out of the corner of her eye and knew what was going on.
Hopefully things aren't too bad, giving her a chance to cover up her lie.
She saw sincerity in Qiao Yuchen's eyes, but unfortunately, Chen Siyuan couldn't be completely open with him.
Otherwise, Chunlan wouldn't have been allowed to burn the blood-stained clothes.
Qiao Yuchen was furious, wishing he could slap this woman to death, but fearing he would regret it, he suppressed his anger and said, "This is my home, shouldn't I have come back?"
"You still know this is your home?" Chen Siyuan asked rhetorically.
Despite having little strength, she was quick-witted and seemed to have figured out how to get along with this person.
As long as the man doesn't want to take things any further, they can be great partners and he's willing to make his life easier and more comfortable.
"you......"
"Don't you know what people are saying outside while you've been away?" She saw the concern and anger in his eyes as he sneaked back in the middle of the night and now came out in broad daylight. Suddenly, she felt that it was nice to have someone who cared about her like this by her side.
Even if it's only temporary, at least you have someone by your side while you're striving.
"You're afraid?" Qiao Yuchen was amused by this woman.
Her smile was like a blooming peach blossom, bringing a touch of warmth to the surrounding air.
Chunping was perceptive; seeing this scene, she knew what the young lady was about to do and stepped back in time.
