Ruoli continued drinking tea, showing no intention of speaking.
The tea was getting a little cold, and it wasn't good for my dry mouth. Ruoli continued drinking until the last cup, when he didn't drink it. The moment he picked up the teacup, he spilled it onto the bracelet on the table.
Chen Siyuan found it strange, but she was able to watch quietly.
Seeing the handkerchief slowly change color, from a pure white handkerchief to one that began to show a slight purple tinge, and then gradually turned black, Chen Siyuan could no longer remain calm.
Ruoli saw that someone understood and kindly explained it to her.
"Don't you want to know how you fell into someone else's trap?"
Chen Siyuan frowned slightly. Having lived two lives, she still didn't know that this thing, which even a silver needle couldn't detect, was actually poisonous.
"I would like to hear the details."
Ruoli felt that this woman was too tactless. She had already been so blunt, didn't this woman need to ask her for help?
After all, it concerns her life.
If I hadn't been so paranoid, that woman might have died someday.
Ruoli revealed a mocking expression, "Isn't that the one who's going to die?"
"If Ruoli wasn't trying to give me a solution, she probably wouldn't have sent me the message, right?"
After being retorted like that, Ruoli felt a little embarrassed and gave an awkward smile.
That's true; you know your own temper best.
If this woman were crying and begging him, he might really just watch her die. But her composure gave him the urge to solve her problem.
He's seen too many humble people; they're the kind of people who seem more interesting.
At this moment, he was completely aroused by the woman in front of him.
"I wonder if Miss Chen has ever heard of the Feathered Clan?"
"I've heard of it." The Feather Clan is the place my elder brother visited not long ago; it's a notorious place for using Gu poison.
When she first heard about the Feathered Clan, she didn't think much of it. But now that her older brother has been afflicted with the Love Gu, she finally realizes that the terrifying Gu-infected land is actually the Feathered Clan.
Upon hearing the name of the Feathered Clan again, Chen Siyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Someone has already made a move against my elder brother, and we still don't know the true purpose of the person behind it. I have also made contact with the Feather Clan through the Empress Dowager's reward.
Does the Empress Dowager intend to harm me and my elder brother?
It seems there's something to say about not going there.
Chen Siyuan felt conflicted and tried hard to deny it, but when faced with reality, she was no longer so sure.
Chunlan and Chunping also knew about the Feathered Clan, but only recently.
The eldest son's love potion was caused by his trip to the Feather Clan, and now the young mistress is also suffering from it; their faces paled once again.
"Now that you've heard about it, things will be easier. This Feather Clan has a secret that no one else knows. This place is a terrifying place of Gu poison. The bracelet in your hand can be soaked in those good things for a long time. If you wear it for even a little while, when you come into contact with water or something similar, it will activate the poison in the bracelet. Over time, you will die without anyone noticing. Even the most skilled doctors can only know that you have been poisoned, but they won't know what kind of poison it is."
"Then what do I do now?" Chen Siyuan asked impatiently as soon as Ruoli finished telling her 'story'.
Ruoli suddenly reached out and placed her hand on her wrist. "You're alright now, but you should stay away from this thing."
"Young Master Xie Ruoli," Chen Siyuan said, changing her handkerchief, drying the bracelet, and then carefully wrapping it in another handkerchief.
Ruoli was shocked to see that the handkerchiefs were exactly the same, and there was more than one.
He frowned as he looked at it. "Isn't it troublesome to carry so many handkerchiefs around?"
"No trouble at all, I have plenty more." Chen Siyuan said, pulling another strip from her sleeve and casually wiping her mouth.
Ruoli's lips twitched. This woman.
Suddenly, I remembered the hairpin I had taken from the woman.
He looked at the woman's hair and sure enough, there were two similar hairpins inside.
"You did this on purpose?" Ruoli was angry.
He still had one of the woman's hairpins in his sleeve, never imagining that she was so cunning.
Chen Siyuan stood up and bowed deeply to Ruoli.
"Thank you for saving my life, Young Master Ruoli. We're even now." After saying this, he turned and left with his two maids.
Ruoli was left standing there like that.
His expression changed repeatedly before he finally kicked the smirking servant standing nearby.
"You're courting death, daring to mock this young master."
The servant wasn't angry at being kicked. He quickly offered a fawning smile, "Young master, you misunderstand. I admire that woman. Knowing she had been poisoned, she remained so calm. It's truly admirable."
"Get out!" The servant was kicked again.
Can't he see it? Does he need someone to remind him?
......
Chen Siyuan knew she wasn't poisoned. Remembering that the person was the Empress Dowager and what the Empress Dowager had said, she knew this matter wouldn't be easy to handle.
You can't exactly go to the palace and kill the Empress Dowager to avenge yourself, can you?
No, Chen Siyuan wasn't that ruthless. Even if the Empress Dowager was targeting her and truly deserved to die, now was not the time.
The fact that the fifth prince of Chen can freely come and go in the capital of Shang is not a good thing.
Too many things have happened in Beijing recently, and at this time, Chen Siyuan is more concerned about whether anyone is profiting from them.
She didn't want to be a sinner against the Shang Kingdom.
Even if she knew her own fate would be terrible and she hated many people, she would not implicate innocent lives.
Wang Li drove the carriage slowly along.
Seeing the young mistress's calm demeanor, Chunlan asked with concern, "Young mistress, could it be that we..."
"There's nothing I can do. That person is the Empress Dowager. My current abilities are simply not enough to go to the palace and kill her."
These words made Chunlan and Chunping gasp immediately.
That's a direct statement, but it's also true.
“I will talk to Qiao Yuchen about this. I think he will have a solution.” Chen Siyuan was unsure if this decision was right, but Qiao Yuchen needed to know.
The carriage arrived at the General's Mansion quickly. When Chen Siyuan got off the carriage, she saw Qiao Zhen hurriedly leaving in a carriage, and her expression didn't look good.
After thinking about it, she decided she didn't want to do anything.
Heianji is the best example; she hasn't solved her own problems yet, nor does she have the ability to do so.
Back at Beiyuan, Qiao Yuchen had only been back from outside for a short time.
Seeing Qiao Yuchen busy, Chen Siyuan quickly went inside.
"You've gone out?" Qiao Yuchen looked travel-worn, as if he was in a hurry to get going.
"What's this?" Chen Siyuan asked, glancing at her.
"I'm going out for a while, I'll be back in a few days." Qiao Yuchen said, reaching out to pull the woman into his arms. "Wait for me at home, don't go anywhere."
Chen Siyuan froze. Had something really serious happened?
The words I wanted to say, I couldn't utter.
"Okay." Chen Siyuan watched Qiao Yuchen leave. She didn't know why, but she felt a lot of reluctance in her heart.
