"What do you mean?" Chen Siyuan frowned.
Could it be that Qiao Yang is going to attack me at this crucial moment?
If my recent conjecture is true, then the entire palace will undergo a major upheaval, and many people will die.
According to Qiao Yang's words, his death would be in vain.
If we reverse the order, Chen Siyuan quietly places her hand, which was on one side, on the sachet.
When Chunping saw the young mistress's action, her eyes widened immediately.
Oh no, does the young mistress mean...?
The young mistress's sachet didn't contain spices, but rather oleander powder that Wenzhu had used to frame her.
The sachet looks small, but it has a protective layer. If the young mistress were to use it, she might injure herself.
Thinking of this, Chunping frowned slightly.
Chen Siyuan gestured to Chunping with her eyes not to worry, then focused her attention on Qiao Yang.
Qiao Yang was right next to her. That day in the palace, she didn't dare to cause trouble. She thought that once she returned to the General's Mansion and Qiao Yuchen wasn't there, he could take action against her. It was ridiculous.
Right now, all he has is a dagger, which he wants to use to take him down. Little does he know that a person who has died once is both most afraid of death and least afraid of death.
"Someone told me to kill you." Qiao Yang knew that killing Chen Siyuan would be easy, but killing the two maids might be a bit more troublesome. But that didn't matter. As long as he used his Bone-Dissolving Water, nothing was impossible.
"Who?" Chen Siyuan wondered in her mind, if this were true, who could possibly get Qiao Yang to come?
They must have status, ability, and the potential to offer Qiao Yang enormous benefits.
"Guess?" Qiao Yang said, naturally confident. He glanced at the time and looked at the two maids standing beside him. It should be almost time.
Sure enough, both Chunlan and Chunping looked a little tired.
The feeling was the same as it had not long ago; it seemed as if their strength was constantly decreasing.
Chunlan looked at the young mistress in horror, then at Qiao Yang angrily, "Did you do this?"
Qiao Yang smiled, released Chen Siyuan who was being held hostage, and leisurely sat down on the chair next to her. "Of course."
Chen Siyuan glanced at it and instantly understood.
She looked at Qiao Yang, "Did you do what happened in prison back then?"
"I guess so!" Qiao Yang said with an air of arrogance.
Chen Siyuan stared at Qiao Yang, "The person who promised you that was the one who promised to marry you off to the Third Prince, right?"
"You have a good brain, but it's a pity."
"Is it Princess Qiya?"
Qiao Yang laughed, looking at Chen Siyuan's tightly clenched fist, which was no match for her. "Let me tell you the truth, the entire East Garden is under my control. This time, you... are dead."
As he spoke, he released the dagger from Chen Siyuan's neck.
The medicine had taken effect, and she no longer needed to worry about the man escaping.
Upon hearing this, Chen Siyuan staggered back a step. Sure enough, Qiao Yang's plan was brilliant.
Chunlan and Chunping struggled to drag their exhausted bodies closer to the young mistress. "Young mistress, please hurry." They didn't have much strength left, but if they risked their lives, they could buy some more time.
Think about it, Wang Li should have finished his work by now, and he should be back soon.
Thinking of Wang Li, they seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"Ha ha......"
Chen Siyuan smiled, but this smile didn't have the defeated look that others had expected; it was a hearty laugh.
Qiao Yang thought this person was crazy and moved closer. Chen Siyuan was already prepared; if Qiao Yang got a few steps closer, she would sprinkle all the oleander powder in her hand onto Qiao Yang's face.
This can be considered making the best use of resources. Using Qiao Yang's own things to harm himself means that even if an investigation is launched, it won't trace back to him.
Thinking to herself, there was still one more step. At this moment, she was ready. Just as Qiao Yang came up to her and was about to use his dagger to lift her chin, suddenly, with a 'whoosh', Qiao Yang, who was right in front of her, was suddenly hit by an arrow. Her body was thrown back quickly and crashed into the wall next to her. Her hand seemed to be fixed to the wall by the arrow.
Qiao Yang screamed wildly.
This sudden turn of events caused Chen Siyuan to pause slightly in her preparations.
I don't know why this situation is happening, nor do I know who it is or what their intentions are.
Just as she was in a tense moment, she heard a familiar voice, and Chen Siyuan's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
Her eyes welled up with tears when she saw the man striding towards her.
"Siyuan, I'm sorry I'm late." Qiao Yuchen arrived and immediately pulled Chen Siyuan into his arms.
When Qiao Yang saw that it was Qiao Yuchen, she couldn't believe it.
Qiao Yuchen left and wouldn't be back for a while, so why did he suddenly turn back?
Chen Siyuan just shook her head. She didn't know what was going on. Qiao Yuchen's appearance relaxed her tense nerves.
Overwhelmed with relief, she nestled in the man's arms and began to cry.
There was no sound, only trembling shoulders and a wet chest, which pained Qiao Yuchen.
He resolved the matter and just then received news of the incident at Dongyuan, so he rushed over immediately.
It was still too late.
He picked up Chen Siyuan and walked outside.
Seeing that the young mistress was safe, Chunlan and Chunping gradually relaxed.
Seeing Qiao Yang's disheveled state, they felt relieved.
Wang Yong brought over a package that was still dripping blood. They found it strange, but they could smell a strong stench of blood.
Feeling something was amiss, they waited for Wang Yong to come up to them and give them two pills.
"This is the antidote."
Chunlan and Chunping had no doubts and picked it up and swallowed it directly.
