Yu Shuo glanced at Chen Siyuan and sighed inwardly. He was unlucky to run into this person as soon as he got back. He didn't know how long his young master would be heartbroken.
He felt it was inappropriate for his young master to meet this woman, but since his young master had already spoken, he couldn't say anything more.
Chen Siyuan felt a complex mix of emotions when she saw Yu Shuo.
She didn't want to face Tao Yifan right now, but she had to run into him here, leaving her no chance to hide.
Chunlan and Chunping had very complicated thoughts.
Mingming felt it shouldn't be like this. The young mistress was physically exhausted, and hitchhiking was a good thing. The problem was that the owner of the carriage was Tao Yifan.
The carriage curtain was lifted from the inside, and a pale yet familiar face appeared before them.
"Yuan'er—"
A simple sentence seemed to transport them back to the past.
Tao Yifan looked at Chen Siyuan without any hesitation, his gaze seemingly piercing through all obstacles, allowing the two lovers to finally overcome all barriers and finally come together again.
"you......"
Chen Siyuan did not expect to meet Tao Yifan in this place, and even more unexpectedly, his pale face showed that he was ill, and quite seriously so.
"Get in the car." Tao Yifan said this with little strength, but he still insisted on reaching out to Chen Siyuan.
Chen Siyuan always remembered her identity and wanted to keep her distance from this person.
Despite her strong resolve, she couldn't remain calm when she saw Tao Yifan cough up blood.
Even though she knew it was inappropriate for her status, she was still worried.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"...It's nothing." After recovering, Tao Yifan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and gave Chen Siyuan a smile.
Chen Siyuan's eyes reddened.
How could he have become like this?
Knowing that Tao Yifan and Qiao Yuchen were on opposite sides and that they were fighting fiercely, I never imagined that Tao Yifan would turn out like this.
Seeing Tao Yifan's miserable state reminded him of the banquet at the palace.
Thinking about the relationship between Princess Qiya and the Third Prince, and considering that Princess Qiya is now an imposter, Princess Honglian can still get the people around Princess Qiya to do things for her.
Looking at Tao Yifan's appearance again, could it be...?
Chen Siyuan couldn't believe that she was partly responsible for Tao Yifan's vomiting of blood.
Thinking about this, Chen Siyuan couldn't calm down.
Thinking about Qiao Yuchen's recent busy schedule, and considering their years of fierce competition for that position, could it be...?
It was obvious, but the thought of Tao Yifan's current state, possibly due to her and Qiao Yuchen, was something she couldn't accept.
Chen Siyuan was thinking a lot, and her thoughts were very complicated. Tao Yifan couldn't calm down when he saw this.
Could something have happened while I was away?
"What are you doing here?" Tao Yifan asked tentatively.
On his way here, he saw the marks on the ground. Looking at the woman in front of him, Tao Yifan felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
Could it be that the Third Prince has targeted Chen Siyuan again?
Thinking of this, Tao Yifan felt a renewed sense of disappointment towards the Third Prince.
After what happened last time, he was disappointed in the Third Prince. If this happened again, he really had the urge to stop caring about the Third Prince's future.
Tao Yifan knew in his heart that although the Third Prince might succeed without him, the chances of success would be greatly reduced.
Over the years, he has been scheming for the Third Prince, which is why the Third Prince has gradually stood out from the many princes.
It can be said that without him, the Third Prince would not be where he is today.
Tao Yifan had some ideas in mind and wanted to know more from the woman.
At this moment, he was unsure what he truly wanted to know.
He wanted to know what the woman had been through, or whether he still held a place in her heart.
He had seen Qiao Yuchen showing affection in front of him several times, and even though he had clearly seen it, he still wanted to know something from the woman's mouth.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Siyuan didn't answer, but asked instead.
"I was out running errands and just got back."
"Going out?"
"Mm." Tao Yifan nodded. "And you?"
"I went to Ping'an Temple and was on my way back."
"You're really sincere, actually walking there." He said, glancing at the woman's shoes.
It would be impossible for a woman to go back and forth like that. Even if she really wanted to pray for something, her shoes wouldn't be so clean. Only... Thinking about it, Tao Yifan suddenly opened her eyes wide. She thought of the Third Prince's plan when she left, and then looked at Chen Siyuan. She tried to convince herself that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
The nature of Chen Siyuan's relationship with Qiao Yuchen is not the key point. The most crucial point is that Chen Siyuan is now Qiao Yuchen's wife, and she certainly has no chance with him.
Thinking about this made him extremely flustered. He tried to convince himself it was a coincidence, but his heart just kept pounding uncontrollably.
"To Ping'an Temple?"
Chen Siyuan smiled, a cold smile, revealing the bracelet on her wrist, "I also received a reward from the Empress Dowager."
"Empress Dowager?" Tao Yifan's heart trembled again. The Empress Dowager would not bestow a reward on Chen Siyuan for no reason, especially not today.
"Yes, not only do we have this, but we also have this waist tag."
Tao Yifan had met the Empress several times and recognized the waist token in Chen Siyuan's hand as belonging to the Empress Dowager. He tried to control his emotions and said, "This is a good thing. You should keep it safe."
Chen Siyuan looked at Tao Yifan. Madam Qiao had said the same thing. Could there be some other benefit to this waist token?
I thought about it but didn't ask.
"Are you injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." All of Tao Yifan's worries were relieved by the woman's words.
As long as this woman still cares about him, he has the motivation to keep going, and at the same time, he has made a new decision in his heart.
The carriage quickly entered the city, and after a long while, Chen Siyuan got off the carriage.
She stood by the roadside, watching Tao Yifan's carriage drive away, and then instructed the three people beside her, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
"yes."
Whether it was meeting Tao Yifan or encountering the pregnant woman on the way, it would all remain a secret in their hearts.
At this moment, Tao Yifan, who had also left, made the same decision.
He addressed Yu Shuo, who was driving the carriage in front, saying, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
"Yes." Yu Shuo knew in his heart that no matter who knew what Chen Siyuan and Tao Yifan had said, it wouldn't be a good thing.
After all, Qiao Yuchen was assisting the Seventh Prince, while his own son was assisting the Third Prince. Now, the two princes had become two princes with their own strength to contend with each other.
If this matter is discovered, who knows what kind of disaster it will bring to their young master.
Thinking about what his young master had gone through because of Chen Siyuan, he felt heartbroken.
Just then, she heard her young master's voice again.
"Go to the Third Prince's residence."
