When Chen Siyuan saw Qiao Zhen leave, she didn't pay much attention at first, but later, when she saw that Princess Qi Ya had disappeared, she panicked.
The person in front of me is not the real Princess Qiya, but Princess Honglian. She has changed her identity and reappeared in the palace as a princess. She has once again walked to the side of Consort Qing. I have a feeling that this is not a good thing.
After she left, she saw the palace maid she had seen twice before again.
A palace maid approached and bowed, saying, "Greetings, First-Rank Lady."
"Who are you?" Chen Siyuan wanted to know who this person was; she couldn't keep calling him "palace maid" all the time.
"This servant is Liu'er."
"Liu'er, have you seen where the Third Prince's Consort went?" Qiao Zhen was too naive, and she was worried that Qiao Zhen would suffer a loss.
Liu'er glanced at Chen Siyuan and quickly led her toward a rockery not far away.
Chen Siyuan quickly spotted Qiao Zhen in the distance. She seemed to be talking to someone and appeared somewhat agitated. Princess Qiya was standing not far behind her.
Seeing this scene, Chen Siyuan felt uneasy.
In order not to expose too much of Qiao Zhen's abilities, he quickly asked Liu'er beside him, "Do you know martial arts?"
Liu'er nodded.
"Alright, remind them."
"Yes," Liu'er replied, bending down to pick up a pebble and throwing it onto the artificial hill.
The noise wasn't loud, but it startled the agitated Qiao Zhen.
Princess Qiya turned her head and saw Chen Siyuan.
The moment their eyes met, she felt an overwhelming urge to kill this woman.
However, because the Emperor seems to be paying attention to Chen Siyuan recently, he cannot take action now. The thought that Chen Siyuan has ruined his plans makes him feel very uncomfortable.
They finally found an opportunity to seize Qiao Zhen's weakness, but it was ruined.
Then she thought that as long as that eunuch was still in the palace, Qiao Zhen would never escape her grasp.
Thinking of this, she tried to calm her anger, but when she met Chen Siyuan who was walking towards her, her face was contorted with rage. "Don't be so smug!"
Chen Siyuan stopped in her tracks, glancing at Princess Qiya out of the corner of her eye, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish!"
"Hmph, you're talking about yourself, aren't you?"
What do you think?
Now that they're all alone, they've dropped their pretenses and are saying whatever comes to mind.
After a brief exchange, the two quickly parted ways.
When Chen Siyuan saw that Qiao Zhen seemed to be crying, she quickly walked over.
Qiao Zhen turned her head and saw Chen Siyuan walking over and Princess Qi Ya turning away not far away.
Chen Siyuan's gaze was fixed on Qiao Zhen. As she walked in, she saw a person dressed as a eunuch turn and leave.
Without thinking much, she quickly came up to her and said, "Princess Qiya saw who you were meeting just now."
The grievances that Qiao Zhen had been suppressing in her heart finally erupted at this moment.
She leaned on Chen Siyuan's shoulder and cried.
Tears streamed down her face, but she didn't cry out loud.
Chen Siyuan didn't know what was going on, but it was clear that Qiao Zhen had reached her breaking point.
Now she's even more curious.
If I'm not mistaken, he should be a eunuch.
She had almost no contact with the palace, so who was she so heartbroken over?
After thinking it over, it seems there aren't any suitable candidates.
Later, she thought of Princess Qiya who had left, then of Consort Qing, and then of Consort Hua. Could it be...?
"Did Consort Hua send someone to deliver a message to you?"
Given the circumstances of the banquet hall, it seemed most normal for Consort Hua to have a maid relay any inappropriate remarks instead of directly saying them.
Qiao Zhen didn't react and was still crying.
Chen Siyuan's idea was rejected, and she knew exactly what was going on.
We can only wait for Qiao Zhen to recover.
"Alright, this is the palace. Let's talk outside." Chen Siyuan said, wiping her red eyes with a handkerchief. "You mustn't lose your composure. This is the palace. Countless people are waiting to see someone make a fool of themselves. You mustn't give them that chance."
The palace is a place that devours people.
There are too many unseen forces at play; you never know when you'll fall into a trap.
Now that Qiao Zhen is the Third Prince's consort, many people wouldn't dare to directly attack the Third Prince, but they still have the guts to do so against Qiao Zhen.
"Yes, I know."
"It's good that you know." Chen Siyuan was slightly relieved.
As long as Qiao Zhen remains rational, there shouldn't be any problems. The key issue now is that Princess Qi Ya saw something she shouldn't have seen. I wonder what she will do?
As she pondered, she realized that if Princess Qiya hadn't revealed her true identity, she would be the Third Prince's cousin and should rightfully stand on his side. This might pose a danger to Qiao Zhen, but it shouldn't be life-threatening.
Thinking about this complicated relationship makes me feel a little more at ease.
"You should keep a close eye on Princess Qiya; it's best to prevent her from having..."
"It's Li Kun."
Before Chen Siyuan could finish speaking, she suddenly heard this familiar name, looked at Qiao Zhen, and wondered what it meant.
"Li Kun did not marry any other woman; he became a eunuch in the palace."
boom--
In an instant, Chen Siyuan seemed to realize that something bad had happened.
Looking at Qiao Zhen in front of her, she asked, "How did you know?"
"He said it." I had just caught a glimpse of a familiar figure and quickly followed, only to realize that I hadn't mistaken him for someone else.
"Are you sure?" Chen Siyuan felt something was wrong.
She and another man were in love before marriage, but they were forced to separate because of their families. Logically, they should have been a pair of star-crossed lovers, but here comes the key to the problem.
