Chen Siyuan thought that the Fifth Princess's Ruyi Restaurant should also be opening soon. At that time, because many people were against it, there was not much business. Later, she heard that the Fifth Princess held a tasting banquet, which led to its later success. Gradually, hot pot became popular in the capital.
It seems that the days to come will really be like a hot pot meal, and the situation in the entire capital city will gradually change because of this.
Looking at Qiao Yuchen across from her, she had never told him that the Seventh Prince had no hope for the future position. Considering the Fifth Princess's current status, she felt that perhaps she should make some connections with her, as it would make things easier for her in the future.
Unbeknownst to Chen Siyuan, as she tried to accept Qiao Yuchen, she gradually began to use what she knew from her previous life to plan for Qiao Yuchen's position in the capital.
Just like Song Ji back then.
Having experienced what happened in her previous life, Chen Siyuan knew better than anyone else that it wasn't easy to enter the elite circles of the capital. In her previous life, she had done many things to please others in order to gradually have the opportunity to meet these important figures a few times. At that time, she couldn't approach them and could only observe from afar. Now, she had a more convenient identity.
The hot pot meal was warm and friendly, and they drank a couple of glasses of wine to liven things up. After the meal, Qiao Yuchen was once again asked to leave by Butler Yu.
Chen Siyuan knew that the only person who could make Steward Yu run around so diligently was General Qiao. What exactly was General Qiao doing, and why was he always so mysterious?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her, and she smiled.
As Chen Siyuan lay on the bed, half-asleep and about to take a nap, she looked at Chunping standing next to her and asked, "Why did you take so long?"
Upon hearing this, Chunping immediately relayed the information she had received.
"Young mistress, the Empress is gone."
"Gone?" At first, Chen Siyuan didn't understand what "gone" meant, but after her fate was sealed, she immediately widened her eyes. "Dead?"
"yes."
Chunlan was equally shocked when she heard this.
Chen Siyuan lost even the last bit of sleepiness she had left.
She saw with her own eyes that the Empress looked very well at the banquet that day, so it was impossible for her to have died suddenly.
There's only one possibility: it wasn't death from illness, it must have been homicide.
The empress in her previous life died a few days before the old emperor passed away, which led to a beautiful story.
The old emperor and empress had such a deep affection for each other that he passed away not long after the empress's departure.
He was by Song Ji's side at the time, and he kept his mouth shut. He knew a lot of things, and the death of the old emperor was definitely related to the third prince.
So, if the empress suddenly died at this time, does that mean the old emperor is going to die?
After thinking hard about the timing of the grief, it should be in five days.
Five days?
According to what my grandmother mentioned in her last letter, it seems that she will arrive in the capital around this time.
not good.
Chen Siyuan wasn't sleepy, so she immediately wrote a letter and gave it to Wang Li, asking her to deliver it to her grandmother right away.
Hopefully, the Chen family's visit this time will not cause any harm.
She knew it was too late to stop it. All she could do was arrange her grandmother's accommodation as quickly as possible in the next few days and have people come and go discreetly. Once her grandmother and the others arrived in the capital, she could keep a low profile for a while and avoid the situation. Perhaps then, no one would be able to spread rumors about her.
Thinking about such an important matter, Chen Siyuan couldn't sleep.
Later, feeling restless, she simply asked Chunlan to find her a Buddhist scripture, and began to copy it with focused concentration.
In her past life, whenever Chen Siyuan's heart was restless or she felt that something big had happened, she would always comfort herself in this way.
Chen Siyuan's restless heart was fulfilled in the evening.
Qiao Yuchen rushed back, saying he had something to do and needed to go out for a while, and told me not to wait for him.
Seeing the man's anxious expression, Chen Siyuan wondered if something serious had happened.
Oh no, could it be that the old emperor is really dying?
Thinking about this, and it's much earlier than last time, what's going on?
Chen Siyuan tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart and saw Qiao Yuchen off.
What she was truly terrified of was that if the old emperor really did die, the capital would be stained with blood in the next few days.
Just then, my grandmother and the others arrived. I hope Wang Li has already sent the message that my grandmother and the others should not come at this time.
Feeling uneasy, she even lost her appetite for dinner.
The sky gradually darkened, just like her heart, which was gloomy.
At this moment, Qiao Yang suddenly arrived.
Upon seeing Qiao Yang, Chen Siyuan was surprised. Why would Qiao Yang arrive directly? Logically, he should have been stopped outside.
Thinking back to Qiao Yuchen's departure not long ago, could it be that he transferred everyone away?
impossible.
I don't know Qiao Yuchen very well, so he wouldn't do something like this.
The sudden appearance of Qiao Yang made her feel uneasy. Just as she was thinking this, Qiao Yang stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
Chunlan and Chunping were caught off guard, and when Qiao Yang got close, they quickly made their move.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yang held a dagger directly to Chen Siyuan's neck.
"Qiao Yang, do you know what you're doing?"
Chen Siyuan, who was being held hostage, did not panic as Qiao Yang had expected, and asked the question in a cold voice.
Chunping and Chunlan immediately felt uneasy.
It was their mistake that put the young mistress in danger.
They wanted to take action, but were worried that Qiao Yang would protect the young mistress to the death.
Qiao Yang, on the contrary, felt somewhat smug, looking at the woman he had taken hostage, never expecting her to be so easily taken.
Actually, things were simpler than they seemed. She had put something in the food at Dongyuan's restaurant that evening, which was supposed to make them all faint. But instead, these three people didn't eat and missed out on the delicious treat she had prepared.
"Qiao Yang, if you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened," Chen Siyuan gave her final ultimatum.
Since a series of events had occurred around her, Chen Siyuan had already taken precautions and did not want to make a move against Qiao Yang so soon.
This woman was, after all, the second young lady of the General's Mansion. I had only been married into the family for a short time, and it seemed inappropriate for her to die.
Thinking about all the things Qiao Yang had done in the past, and the death of Aunt Wang, it was clear that they wanted to put him to death.
"Chen Siyuan, you don't know yet, do you?" Qiao Yang couldn't help but feel happy at the thought that this person was about to die.
Instead of getting rid of this person in Aunt Wang's affair, she ended up getting herself and Aunt Guo imprisoned. Now that Aunt Guo is out, what does she have to be afraid of?
What good is the title of "Lady of the Imperial Decree"? Let her be a damn Lady of the Imperial Decree!
Today, she arrived with enough bone-dissolving water to kill them and then destroy the evidence.
