"What do you suggest we do?" Qiao Yuchen hadn't expected that a simple wedding would be so troublesome. He felt a pang of heartache seeing the woman's furrowed brows.
"I don't know." Chen Siyuan lowered his head again.
Qiao Yuchen had no choice but to say, "I'll handle this."
"Is this a good idea?" Chen Siyuan asked.
"The entire General's Mansion belongs to me, and I'm in charge," Qiao Yuchen patted his chest and assured him.
"This... alright." Chen Siyuan seemed quite troubled, but seeing Qiao Yuchen's expression, she finally believed him.
This is why Chen Siyuan sought out Qiao Yuchen, and also why she had Wang Li drive the carriage. Now that the problem was solved, Chen Siyuan was happy. Looking over again, she noticed that someone was missing.
Qiao Yuchen didn't care, and Chen Siyuan didn't ask. The two began to eat and drink quietly.
After dinner, Qiao Yuchen drove Chen Siyuan on a shopping spree through the streets of Beijing, leaving everyone who saw them looking on in astonishment.
Qiao Yuchen dotes on Chen Siyuan, which is common knowledge, but their wedding became an irony.
I heard that Chen Siyuan almost couldn't even get into the Qiao family's gate back then, and it was Qiao Yuchen who led the way in with a trail of blood.
Clearly, this was because the general's mansion at the time was unwilling to accept this daughter-in-law.
At the time, everyone was waiting to see when this woman from the countryside would be kicked out of the house. Who would have thought that she would not be kicked out of the house, but instead earned herself the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady.
This title is the first of its kind in the Shang Kingdom.
Who wouldn't be surprised?
The rank of a first-grade imperial consort is much higher than that of Fu Jun.
Now, the two of them are frantically buying wedding items on the street. Is Qiao Yuchen planning to hold a wedding for Chen Siyuan?
Soon, the news reached the ears of those who were interested, and some people couldn't remain calm, while others couldn't sit still.
......
The Third Prince's Residence.
The Third Prince also witnessed the harmonious scene of Qiao Yuchen and Tao Yifan sitting at the same table.
The third prince stood in the study with his back to the messenger, emanating a chilling aura.
He had high hopes for Tao Yifan on this expedition, but who would have thought that he would bring back such a result.
He had always felt that Tao Yifan hadn't tried his best, but now it seemed that it was all because a woman had held him back.
Thinking back to his disobedience in prison, he suddenly lost faith in Tao Yifan again.
How could a mere woman ruin his right-hand man?
Heh, you're asking for it!
......
The Seventh Prince's Residence.
The Seventh Prince smiled when he received the news.
A woman captivated the hearts of two men, neither of whom were ordinary; one of them was even a strategist for the Third Prince.
He never imagined that just one woman could defeat the strategist of his most powerful enemy. It was truly remarkable.
He was overjoyed and ordered a feast to be prepared.
Such a wonderful thing should be celebrated!
His trust and cultivation of Qiao Yuchen over the years have not been in vain!
......
The Tenth Prince's Residence.
The tenth prince lay on the bed, his entire body blackened.
The poisoning was clearly severe, and even the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless.
At this point, after several imperial physicians jointly examined the patient, none of them dared to speak.
They didn't know what kind of poison the tenth prince had, but they knew he was nearing the end.
I sighed inwardly!
The tenth prince's life is truly miserable. He had just returned to the capital and hadn't even attended the emperor's birthday celebration when his life was about to end prematurely.
He used to be on good terms with the Fourth Prince, but now that the Fourth Prince is gone, the Tenth Prince has lost his last support, and death has become his only outcome.
It's pitiful that a child without a mother's protection has survived until now; it's a miracle.
The imperial physician wrote out a prescription, handed it to the steward of the Tenth Prince's residence, gave him instructions repeatedly, and then left.
The steward immediately ordered someone to start brewing the medicine, knowing that the chances of success were slim, but they couldn't just leave it unattended.
After giving these instructions, I looked at the Tenth Prince again. Just as I reached the door, I saw the Tenth Prince summoning his guards.
He stood quietly at the doorway, vaguely hearing, "Keep a close eye on her. When it's time to compare, bring her to see me."
......
The Eighth Prince's Residence.
The Eighth Prince was walking his bird when he heard the news brought by his bodyguard. He paused for a moment, looking at the bodyguard beside him.
Are you sure?
"yes."
"That's good. Keep an eye on this woman." The Eighth Prince revealed a chilling smile.
That attempt failed, and someone even took the blame for him, which made him feel quite relieved. Now that he's heard this news, it's clear that his efforts weren't in vain.
People are not afraid of being strong, but of having no weaknesses.
Now, with one woman, two powerful rivals are bound together. With a little maneuvering, the real show is about to begin!
I can't wait!
"Yes." The guard quickly left.
The Eighth Prince, carrying the birdcage, turned and went to the study next door. As he walked, he was still thinking that no matter how capable the Seventh Prince was, his advisors were just so-so. He cared so much about a woman, but in the end, he couldn't hold his own.
As long as I can control this woman, who knows what the future holds?
......
The Imperial Study.
The emperor was reviewing memorials when he suddenly heard what the guards said. He angrily threw his writing brush away.
The brush shattered instantly!
The snapping sound wasn't loud, but it immediately made Eunuch Huang, who was standing next to him, kneel down on the ground.
"Those damned bastards, none of them can give us a moment's peace!"
Eunuch Huang knelt on the ground, truly unable to understand why the old emperor was angry.
