Aunt Xu and Qiao Zhen were just about to deliver something to Madam Qiao when they saw this scene and were immediately stunned.
Aunt Xu looked at the two leaving. She had such good times before. With the arrival of Aunt Guo, she also had Qiao Zhen. After that, there was no more.
Qiao Zhen stood there, the scene just now reminding her of a scene she had vaguely seen in the palace.
She could never have believed that Chen Siyuan, a delicate woman, could be in such a situation. Besides, Qiao Yuchen cared so much, he wouldn't let this woman be in danger. Just now, the seemingly weak Chen Siyuan still brought back a man much taller than herself.
Is she... a little scared?
If Chen Siyuan is real, then wouldn't the Empress be in trouble?
Qiao Zhen was a little scared. Every time she went to the palace, some inappropriate images would appear in her mind, and what she saw this time was even more unsettling.
They were originally going to see Mrs. Qiao, but because of this incident, they were both in a bad mood and decided to go back.
As a result, Qiao Zhen developed a high fever that very night after returning home.
Aunt Xu took care of him all night, and things finally stabilized.
The next day, just after waking up, Ju Hong went out to buy medicine and overheard something big. When she returned and saw that Qiao Zhen had woken up, she was so happy that she told her what had happened outside.
Upon hearing those words, Qiao Zhen's face suddenly drained of all color.
"What did you say?"
"Her Majesty the Empress is critically ill; I heard she's not going to make it."
"Shut up!" Aunt Xu was angry. Her daughter had finally recovered, and hearing these words would only make things worse. Besides, that was the Empress; how could she just say such things? Moreover, even if the Empress really had something going on, it wouldn't have spread so quickly.
Qiao Zhen couldn't take the shock and fainted immediately.
......
East Garden.
Chen Siyuan opened her eyes and felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. She turned her head and saw that Qiao Yuchen was using her arm as a pillow. She immediately felt that her arm was going to be ruined.
Qiao Yuchen slowly opened his eyes, then closed them again, only to open them again quickly. Upon seeing clearly, he immediately sat up, stammering, "You...I..."
Chen Siyuan glanced at him, then got up and went to the outer hall.
Chunlan and Chunping were waiting outside.
She dragged her numb arm and said, "Hurry up and rub it for me."
Chunlan and Chunping immediately stepped forward.
They were happy for the young mistress and Qiao Yuchen.
They lived together again, and they felt relieved.
She originally came back with Master Wen's orders, but now it's fine. As long as they are together more often, pregnancy is a normal thing.
As long as the young mistress secures her position and holds the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, who is she afraid of?
Chen Siyuan felt embarrassed and tried her best to remain composed, but her face still turned slightly red.
Chunlan and Chunping were even happier at the young mistress's transformation.
It's wonderful that such good fortune has befallen them.
As long as the young mistress and Qiao Yuchen are together, nothing is impossible.
Chunlan and Chunping helped the young mistress wash up when Qiao Yuchen came out. Upon seeing him, they immediately bowed and left.
Chen Siyuan felt a little embarrassed to face him, and Qiao Yuchen felt just as embarrassed.
At this moment, what Qiao Yuchen dared not say was that he was drunk, but not completely drunk; he just wanted to get close to the woman.
He thought it was great to have the excuse of being drunk.
Looking at the woman in front of him, her head bowed and her face slightly flushed, he wondered what excuse he could use to stay tonight.
The two remained silent as two maids brought in the food.
Qiao Yuchen was about to say something to the woman after dinner when Butler Yu suddenly arrived and said that a guest had arrived.
Qiao Yuchen looked at Chen Siyuan and said, "I'll be right back."
"Hmm." Chen Siyuan tried her best to be calm, but she still fell a little short.
"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll have them prepare it."
Chen Siyuan looked up and met Qiao Yuchen's gaze. Feeling extremely embarrassed, she subconsciously said, "No need."
"Hmm." Qiao Yuchen's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished, as if a flame was overflowing in his heart but could not be vented, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The voice was low and pleading.
Upon seeing this, Chunlan and Chunping immediately left.
Butler Yu was stunned for a moment. He looked at Qiao Yuchen in disbelief. In his eyes, Qiao Yuchen had always done all sorts of outrageous things and was not worthy of being the general's son. At this moment, he seemed to see the young master as a child.
I heard that when he was a child, the young master lived with his bad-tempered master. What did he go through to make Qiao Yuchen so cautious?
Could it be that the young master's childhood was not a good one, which is why he is so rebellious now?
He couldn't accept it.
Slightly envious, she left and quietly stood at the door.
Wang Yong and Yang Lei stood at the door, seemingly immune to the changes in their master and the people who came out from behind them.
Qiao Yuchen seemed unaware of the difference his tone made on others. He looked at Chen Siyuan and spoke solemnly.
"I'm serious!"
With a vow-like tone and a resolute gaze, the words of her grandfather came to mind again the moment Chen Siyuan looked up and met his gaze.
She hesitated slightly. At this moment, perhaps bewitched by the face in front of her, she decided to change herself.
"Um."
"Can you tell me what you're thinking?" Qiao Yuchen knew that the person who came must be someone important, but he was using this method to force the woman to make a promise to him.
