Just as Chen Siyuan was about to hear the woman's explanation, she saw her expression suddenly change. The woman's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and ignoring her bleeding body, she leaped up and pounced on Chen Siyuan, muttering, "I'm going to kill you."
Chunlan and Chunping were about to make a move when, at the critical moment, Chen Siyuan shouted, and they quickly helped Chen Siyuan away from the ground.
The woman missed her target, but she didn't give up and charged at Chen Siyuan again.
Seeing this, Wang Li quickly intervened, but Chen Siyuan scolded him, "Don't hit her!"
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, a result of extreme nervousness.
Worried that they wouldn't understand, Chen Siyuan immediately explained her findings, saying, "This person isn't normal, be careful."
Wang Li and the others also noticed that this woman was different from ordinary people. At first, because she was pregnant, the blood flowing from her body was real, which made them lower their guard. But now, after hearing these words, they looked at the woman again and realized that she seemed to have gone mad and was not a normal person.
Wang Li and Chunlan and Chunping exchanged a glance. Wang Li then stopped the woman and told Chunlan and Chunping to take Chen Siyuan away first.
Unexpectedly, this woman seemed to see Chen Siyuan as her prey, blind to everything else.
What's even stranger is that this person doesn't care about his own life or death, as if he weren't even a human being.
After a while, in order to protect Chen Siyuan from leaving, they had no choice but to confront this woman. It was only because of Chen Siyuan's reminder that they were able to avoid physical contact with her except for their swords. Every time their swords touched her, they would make a hissing sound.
The sound was like something being corroded.
Seeing this scene, Chen Siyuan thought of the bottle she had seen Chen Fan kill. Forced to retreat, Chen Siyuan was still thinking that this man was arranged by Chen Fan.
Not long ago, I saw Chen Fan become the first-class eunuch by Consort Hua's side. At this time, whether it was personal revenge or to avenge Consort Hua, it seemed reasonable for him to take action against me.
Moreover, they left relatively late, giving Chen Fan the opportunity to make these arrangements.
Chen Siyuan thought to herself as she watched the other person make their move.
Upon closer inspection, the other person's movements were not those of a normal person; they appeared somewhat stiff. As time went on, her movements became even stiffer. At that moment, Chen Siyuan also saw a hint of recklessness in the other person's eyes.
Yes, it means risking your life.
Thinking about it, Chen Siyuan frowned.
Although she was a woman confined to her home, she had seen the world. Now that something big was about to happen, everyone's actions became more frequent and cautious.
This banquet at the palace has clearly affected the interests of many people, keeping many busy. Based on the course of events in the previous life, the Third Prince was the most advantageous one. However, due to the appearance of Consort Hua and Chen Fan by her side, it seems that these people are greatly impacted in this matter.
It's only natural to want to turn things around as quickly as possible, but why target yourself?
Is there something crucial about me?
Or did my appearance disrupt many people's plans? They were so eager to get out that they didn't even need a basic fig leaf anymore?
It's very likely, but not certain.
Chen Siyuan watched as the pregnant woman, whose defeat was gradually becoming apparent, seemed to be losing her life as well.
At that moment, she didn't feel that she was cruel enough, and she knew that Wang Li, Chunlan, and Chunping were all fighting to protect their own lives, disregarding their own safety and getting entangled with each other.
Regardless of the pregnant woman's intentions, she's here to kill him. To show mercy at this moment would be foolish.
She simply couldn't believe that anyone would be so foolish as to offer their life to the enemy just to die.
As I watched, the pregnant woman suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Wang Li, Chunlan, and Chunping remained astonished, staring intently at the pregnant woman before them.
Chen Siyuan also stared at it, and for some reason, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
It was broad daylight, and this was an official road, a necessary route from the capital to Ping'an Temple. Logically, there should have been people passing by at this time, but the place was completely quiet, as if they had walked into a dead end. Apart from them, there was no movement at all.
In her previous life, Chen Siyuan devoted herself entirely to Song Ji, paving the way for him by bringing him into contact with court officials and extraordinary individuals.
Suddenly it seems that this situation is...
She tried hard to think about it, but she just felt that this person was abnormal, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
I just felt this pregnant woman was really strange.
Suddenly, Chen Siyuan saw a chilling smile on the lips of the person lying on the ground, and she shouted, "Run!"
The words were shouted out subconsciously, seemingly out of instinct when facing danger.
Chunlan and Chunping reacted quickly, but Wang Li reacted even faster. He instantly took to the air, grabbed Chen Siyuan, and with a few light taps of his feet, floated away into the distance.
Chunping and Chunlan moved quickly, and the moment their feet touched the ground, they felt a jolt in their hearts as they smelled a foul stench.
Chen Siyuan looked in the direction they had fled. She didn't know what had happened, but she figured the pregnant woman must have blown something up herself.
The air was always filled with a foul, bloody smell.
For a long time, Chen Siyuan felt a tightness in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Young Madam?" Chunlan and Chunping noticed Chen Siyuan's unease and looked over to check on her.
Chen Siyuan tried hard to control the nausea in her heart, shook her head at them, and then looked at Wang Li, who had a serious expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Young Madam, let's go!" Wang Li said, not daring to meet Chen Siyuan's gaze, and lowered his head slightly.
Chen Siyuan seemed to understand something in an instant.
It was probably their carriage parked nearby that was damaged, and it's very likely that the horses didn't escape the same fate either.
Led by Wang Li, they then headed towards the capital.
The journey didn't seem very long when traveling by carriage, but walking was quite strenuous for Chen Siyuan.
Fortunately, they encountered a passing carriage on the way.
Instinctively, they wanted to stop and let the carriage pass first, then they would continue later.
With dust flying everywhere, we're not in a hurry and shouldn't be eating dust as we travel.
The carriage stopped beside them, and the person riding the horses was someone they recognized.
They didn't even need to look; they knew whose carriage it was.
