After being comforted by Madam Qiao, Chen Siyuan calmed down, though she was still somewhat upset. Later, accompanied by Madam Qiao, they left Ping'an Temple together.
Upon arriving outside Ping'an Temple, Chen Siyuan felt as if she had been reborn.
She took a deep breath, feeling the breath of life, and it felt so good.
After watching Madam Qiao get into the carriage, she tried to get on with the help of Chunlan and Chunping, when she suddenly saw a carriage coming out of Ping'an Temple.
Upon seeing that it was a palace carriage and noticing a maid walking beside it, they realized that the person sitting in the carriage was Consort Hua.
She had a deep memory of Consort Hua's aggressive manner just now.
Knowing full well that she was no match for Consort Hua, and that if the Third Prince were to die, Consort Hua would become the future Empress Dowager, Chen Siyuan could only try to minimize her presence.
Fortunately, the carriage did not stop and slowly moved over.
Chen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs following the carriage.
This was nothing unusual, but among the group of eunuchs, especially the one walking in front, his appearance startled them.
Chen Siyuan felt as if she had been possessed by some disgusting demon, and felt a chill all over her body.
Chen Siyuan frowned deeply and subconsciously looked over again.
My breath hitched for a moment.
The eunuchs following the carriage, dressed in red and black palace attire, stood in a neat row. The young and somewhat handsome eunuch at the head of the group was none other than Chen Fan, who should be in the southern city.
At first glance, Chen Siyuan thought she was seeing things, but when she looked at it carefully, she gasped in shock.
Handsome features, a distant expression, and greed and ruthlessness in his eyes.
Chen Fan.
It was Chen Fan.
Chen Siyuan's eyes instantly darkened.
He originally intended to kill this person, but when they met again, she had become a eunuch serving Consort Hua.
Judging from the position he was in and the accessories he wore that were different from others, he had actually become the first-class eunuch by the side of Consort Hua.
The promotion was quite fast.
Everything fits together.
The reason why Consort Hua targeted me just now was obviously because someone said something to me.
So, Consort Hua will find out about what happened in the southern city sooner or later.
Perhaps, if it weren't for the fact that Tao Yifan was the Third Prince's confidant, the marriage agreement between her and Tao Yifan would have been exposed by Consort Hua long ago.
It's hateful that Chen Fan didn't have such good fortune in his previous life. I don't know how he managed to find such a good master this time.
Given Chen Fan's current abilities, if the Third Prince, the son of Consort Hua, eventually gains power, Chen Fan will be his biggest threat.
Chen Fan and Chen Xin were driven out of the Chen family together. Now Chen Fan has this ability, but what about Chen Xin?
In his past life, Chen Xin thrived in Beijing, with powerful backers supporting him. Perhaps...?
Thinking of this, Chen Siyuan's heart sank even further.
On the way back, Chen Siyuan remained silent.
Chunlan and Chunping dared not speak.
When they arrived at Ping'an Temple, they also found it very strange.
After Master Yide said those words to the young mistress, they clearly sensed that something was wrong.
Later, Chen Siyuan went to see the Empress Dowager, and then Consort Hua also went. It is unknown what happened inside, but everyone who left did not look well.
Seeing the young mistress like this now, they were even more worried.
When the young mistress is away, they don't need to worry too much about what happens. On the contrary, they become nervous when it comes to people in the palace.
To their utter surprise, their visit to Madam Qiao had led to so many complications.
Not only was the Empress Dowager present at Ping'an Temple, but even Consort Hua was there.
Consort Hua was the Emperor's most favored concubine.
She was also the mother of the third prince.
The thought of the young mistress's interactions with those around the third prince always made them uneasy.
After glancing back and forth a few times, the young mistress didn't seem to be in good condition, though she didn't appear to be injured.
This calmed their anxieties somewhat.
Chen Siyuan sat in the carriage, wondering what exactly was going on.
It seems that ever since he learned that Mrs. Qiao had entered Ping'an Temple, there have been too many strange things.
In particular, so many people were chanting scriptures this morning, including the Empress Dowager and other dignitaries. Unless something major happened, so many people wouldn't have gathered together.
what is going on?
Chen Siyuan couldn't understand it, couldn't see it clearly, and didn't know what was going on.
After thinking for a long time without coming up with any ideas, the carriage suddenly stopped, followed by Wang Li's anxious voice.
"Young mistress, someone is stopping your horse."
Chen Siyuan found it strange that someone had stopped the carriage. Could it be someone who needed help?
Chunping seemed to understand what the young mistress meant, and quickly lifted the curtain to let the young mistress see clearly.
Chen Siyuan saw a pregnant woman outside, with a pool of blood beneath her body.
This appears to be a woman about to give birth, who experienced a miscarriage while traveling; it seems she is about to give birth.
Because she herself had the idea of having a child, and because she had seen Wang Yuyan's situation, she couldn't help but feel more sympathy for such a woman.
Chen Siyuan got up to get off the carriage to see if she needed any help.
With Chunlan and Chunping's help, Chen Siyuan got off the carriage and walked towards the woman sitting on the ground. After taking only two steps, she noticed that there was more blood on the ground. Chen Siyuan frowned and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you...?" Before she could say anything, she saw where the woman's hand was and immediately felt something was wrong. She pushed Chunlan and Chunping away and took several steps back herself.
Seemingly in an instant, the woman who was supposed to be a temporary hire suddenly flew up, holding a dagger in her hand, and stabbed at Chen Siyuan.
Chunlan and Chunping were pushed away and hadn't even reacted when, in that critical moment, Wang Li rushed over with his sword and stabbed her in the shoulder. As the dagger in the woman's hand fell to the ground, she also fell to the ground.
The moment the lady fell to the ground, she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Chen Siyuan stopped, and Chunlan and Chunping also came to her side. She looked at the woman in front of her. It was true that she was pregnant, and it was also true that she wanted to kill her.
The hatred in those eyes made Chen Siyuan feel uneasy for some reason, but instinctively she felt a chill.
"We have no hatred for each other, why do you want to kill me!"
The other party no longer concealed their anger, glaring at Chen Siyuan, "You deserve to die!"
"Since I deserve to die, there has to be an explanation, right?" Chen Siyuan tried to remain calm. She couldn't understand why a woman who was about to give birth would risk her life to kill her instead of staying at home and waiting for her child to be born.
What kind of hatred could drive someone to disregard the danger to their unborn child?
Just now, Chen Siyuan had felt compassion and wanted to help this woman, intending to lend her her carriage. However, she noticed that the woman's hands were not placed on her abdomen in a protective gesture, but behind her back.
This is not a movement a pregnant woman should make.
