Chen Siyuan saw the man's expression and seemed to know something, but she didn't think much of it.
For a time, she desperately wanted a child, but then too many things happened, and she became too busy, so she gradually gave up on the idea.
Later, Wang Yuyan miscarried, and the memory of that time left a shadow in Chen Siyuan's heart.
She doesn't think that way anymore.
She didn't have children in her past life; perhaps she wasn't destined to have that blessing.
Since there's no such thing, she won't force it.
"Okay, I understand," Chen Siyuan said, placing it in the drawer next to her.
Qiao Yuchen took off his coat and sat steadily on the bed. "I'm going out in a few days. Be careful at home. If anything happens, contact Black Hawk."
"Where are you going?" Chen Siyuan was a little worried because of his cautiousness.
Suddenly, I remembered the scene when Qiao Yuchen went to war after the last incident at the border.
Qiao Yuchen will become a great general in the future, and there will be many more situations like this in the future. She was inexplicably nervous this time.
“There’s a gang of bandits in Fuzhou who’s gotten too out of control. I’m taking some men to check them out.”
Suppressing bandits?
It happened in my past life too, but it wasn't Qiao Yuchen who went then. Why is it him this time?
"Who else?"
"And Su Wen from the Dali Temple."
"Lord Su?" What is the connection between bandit suppression and the people of the Dali Temple?
As she was thinking this, seeing that the man was unwilling to speak again, she suddenly realized that perhaps the bandit suppression was a pretext, and the real purpose was to eliminate corrupt officials.
That's impossible. The biggest thing Su Wen did was to bring down a whole bunch of corrupt officials in Huzhou. And then... etc.
The things Su Wen did this time were the beginning of his death.
Because these corrupt officials seemed to have connections with the prince in the capital, in the end all the corrupt officials were brought down, and he lost his life.
Come to think of it, she still owes Su Wen one thing. When she first saw him in person, she wanted to remind him, but she put it off because of too many things. The next time they met was because of Chen Xin, and she still didn't say it out loud. If she doesn't say it now, it might really be too late.
Thinking it over, Chen Siyuan looked at Qiao Yuchen and asked, "Does the Seventh Prince have any people in Huzhou?"
Qiao Yuchen looked at Chen Siyuan, wondering what she meant by that. Did she know something?
Thinking about this makes my heart pound.
That time, while drunk, Chen Siyuan revealed the questions for the imperial examination.
He hadn't paid much attention at first, but these past few days, while he was with the Seventh Prince, he actually saw this question among the prepared questions.
Some similarities, but not all.
The thought was that these questions would eventually be sent to the Emperor, and the princes would make the final decision on the day of the palace examination.
His heart was pounding.
"What...what do you know?"
From the man's expression, Chen Siyuan knew her guess was right. She stared at Qiao Yuchen for a moment, "Would you believe me if I said it was a dream?"
Qiao Yuchen shook his head.
Chen Siyuan smiled faintly, "There are many things I don't believe either, but what I say might be true."
Tell me about it.
Chen Siyuan hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "The first time I saw Su Wen, I saw a scene of him being beheaded."
"It's related to this incident."
“This should just be a trigger; the real culprit is probably one of the princes in the capital,” Chen Siyuan said, looking at Qiao Yuchen.
She dared not say much about things that had not yet happened, worried that Qiao Yuchen would think she belonged to someone else.
If he leaves at this point, carrying this question in his mind, it might be detrimental to his trip.
"What else do you know?" Qiao Yuchen felt that Chen Siyuan was a mystery, especially since these words came from her mouth and seemed to be true.
After spending a long time together, I know Chen Siyuan's character.
He felt that Chen Siyuan seemed to have too many secrets, and he wanted to see them clearly at this moment.
"I saw the Third Prince today, and I saw him sitting on the dragon throne." Chen Siyuan said this with a sigh of relief.
Regardless, she revealed her deepest secret, hoping the man would believe her and also hoping he would take precautions so that she wouldn't lose too badly.
"Don't you think the Seventh Prince is a good candidate?" Qiao Yuchen asked the woman when no one else was around.
"I don't know much about the princes as an outsider, but I've seen this scene before, and I always feel..." Chen Siyuan said, nervously twisting the handkerchief in her hands, "Actually, I don't care who ends up in that position. I just want our General's Mansion to be alright and not be implicated in anything."
After saying this, Chen Siyuan seemed to understand why General Qiao never took sides.
Regardless of who ultimately wins, he will remain loyal to the emperor, not the prince.
"Alright, I understand." Qiao Yuchen pulled the uneasy woman into his arms. "As long as I'm here, I won't let this happen."
"Yes." She trusted this man.
"I'm going out for a bit. Wait for me at home."
"good."
Chen Siyuan knew that men were destined for great things, and she couldn't stop them.
She watched the man leave, then leaned against the bed, wondering if she should tell Su Wen.
She still owes Su Wen a favor, and she doesn't know when she'll be able to repay it.
Lost in thought, Chen Siyuan soon fell asleep and woke up in the evening.
Looking at the sky outside, I heard that Qiao Yuchen had left and had not yet returned.
I slept too much and waited while reading a book until midnight when Qiao Yuchen came back.
Chen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the other person.
Her expression suddenly changed when she saw Qiao Yuchen was injured.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing, just a minor injury." He had carelessly fallen into someone's trap today.
Worried about the woman, he rushed back despite his own injury, which still frightened her.
Chen Siyuan immediately asked Chunlan to bring some things to examine the man's wounds.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep; a little medicine would suffice.
After finishing her business, Chen Siyuan learned that Qiao Yuchen hadn't eaten yet, so she asked the two maids to prepare some food, and then she spoke to Qiao Yuchen.
Is it because of what I said?
Qiao Yuchen smiled, "You saved Su Wen's life."
"Huh?" Why did you suddenly say that?
"I encountered Su Wen being chased on the way and saved his life. You don't need to worry about him anymore."
Chen Siyuan remained silent for a while, and then Chunlan and Chunping brought over the food.
Chen Siyuan watched Qiao Yuchen finish eating and was about to say something when Yang Lei walked in from outside.
Upon seeing this, Chen Siyuan clearly had something to say, so she got up and went to the inner room.
Yang Lei said something to Qiao Yuchen, and Qiao Yuchen quickly followed him away.
Chen Siyuan waited anxiously. Not long after, Qiao Yuchen returned. He had changed his clothes and seemed to have taken a shower.
Chen Siyuan glanced at it but didn't say anything. She felt that her departure just now wasn't as simple as taking a bath. Being smart, she wouldn't ask at this time.
It was not convenient for me to learn too much from Qiao Yuchen.
If I were to let something slip one day, it could bring about a terrible disaster.
