Tao Yifan gave Chen Siyuan three words, providing her with direction.
Soon, Chen Siyuan began investigating the Tenth Prince.
Within half a day, Chen Siyuan confirmed the news.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan was too anxious and did not realize that things were going too smoothly while she was checking, as if someone was deliberately sending the information to her.
With a clear direction, Chen Siyuan and her team got to work.
Soon, with Yang Lei's help, Chen Siyuan met the Tenth Prince, who was lying on his bed, severely poisoned.
She found it amusing to see the tenth prince's sallow complexion.
As expected of a prince, even with such poor health, he's still scheming against others. Doesn't he fear that when he dies, there won't even be anyone to collect his body?
hehe--
That's true. Considering the appearance of the Tenth Prince, no one would bother to discipline her.
The fourth prince was born into the royal family, yet he didn't even qualify to be buried in the imperial mausoleum after his death. It seems the tenth prince's fate won't be much better.
At this moment, Chen Siyuan hated someone so much for the first time, wishing she would die immediately.
When the Tenth Prince saw Chen Siyuan arrive, he was filled with rage.
The reason he was poisoned was all because of the woman in front of him.
Last time, at the Fourth Prince's tomb, he was secretly directing everything.
He didn't expect this woman to arrive so suddenly, disrupting his plans. What's worse, Qiao Yuchen shot an arrow as he left.
I initially thought it was just an injury and nothing serious, but a few days later I discovered that I had been poisoned. When I tried to find an antidote, I heard that I had already missed the best time to treat it.
After a period of procrastination, I ended up like this.
My current broken body is all because of this woman and Qiao Yuchen.
He had been trying every means to get rid of them, but unexpectedly this woman came to him of her own accord.
Hehe, very good.
He can now avenge himself.
Now that Qiao Yuchen is going to suppress the bandits, no one is stopping him anymore. He wants to see how this woman will survive this time.
"Chen Siyuan, you still dare to come?"
Chen Siyuan took a deep breath and said, "Haven't you always disliked me and wanted to kill me? What, now that I'm here, you're afraid to do it?" As she spoke, her eyes were full of mockery.
From birth until now, the tenth prince has received the most scorn and ridicule, and no one has ever given her any affirmation.
At this moment, being mocked by a woman, a woman he looked down upon, filled him with rage. He wanted to draw his sword and kill her.
He couldn't even do such a simple action.
He didn't even have the strength to draw his own sword.
"Hehe—" Chen Siyuan mocked again, "No wonder you've been using such low-level tricks, it turns out you just don't have the skills?"
She despised men like this the most. Besides his royal status, what else could he possibly have to offer? Even so, the thought that the recent events in the Chen family were related to this man made her want to rush over immediately, deliver a couple more blows, and make him die a quick and painless death.
I can't do that to you right now.
"Chen Siyuan, you shameless woman!" The Tenth Prince was humiliated, and his face turned even uglier. He wanted to rush over, but he was powerless and could only watch as this woman stood arrogantly in front of him.
This side of her, and this side of himself, only fueled his anger.
"Tenth Prince, do you find this amusing?" Chen Siyuan put away her previous sarcasm and looked at the Tenth Prince with a much more contemptuous gaze.
"You..." The tenth prince, who was already weak after being poisoned, was so angry that he could not even speak clearly.
He uttered just one word, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"I really pity the Tenth Prince. Even now, he still doesn't seem to have a brain," Chen Siyuan said, finding a place to sit down and looking at the Tenth Prince, who was furious.
It's only because I'm young. If this body were twenty years older, it would have died of anger long ago. How could it still be clinging to life like this?
Thinking about it, seeing the Tenth Prince catch his breath, she slowly said, "I heard that the Tenth Prince's birth mother was just a palace maid."
"Shut up!" The tenth prince shouted angrily.
His body was weak, which made his words sound much weaker.
"Who in the palace is simple? Since the Tenth Prince's birth mother was able to win the Emperor's favor, why did she die after giving birth to the Tenth Prince?" Chen Siyuan seemed very curious about the story from back then.
"Shut up!"
"You really don't have a brain," Chen Siyuan said with a contemptuous look. "You were young and might not have understood, but you had to keep pretending to be stupid to survive. Haven't you thought about how your birth mother died all these years?"
"Even if you're a palace maid, your status changes once you give birth to a prince. Even if you don't immediately become a mistress, your princely status means you should be treated well in terms of food, drink, and shelter. Why are you... hehe, so miserable?"
"I heard that the Fourth Prince's mother raised you for two years so that you wouldn't be bullied by too many people. A few years later, you gradually grew up and were sent to your fiefdom ahead of schedule."
"Is it because you don't have a mother?"
After confirming that he was indeed the tenth prince, Chen Siyuan left to begin her investigation.
The investigation yielded results.
There are really many secrets.
In the palace, no one ever dies of old age; they all perish in the midst of scheming.
Unfortunately, the tenth prince's mother was a victim of the struggle.
Unfortunately, the person who harmed the tenth prince and his birth mother is already dead.
After saying so much, Chen Siyuan noticed the change in someone's eyes and a hint of smugness appeared in her heart. It seemed that some people weren't really fools after all.
"You don't have much time left. Do you want to be used by others?" he said, glancing at the sky outside the window.
Despite the pain, the tenth prince's eyes now held a resolute look.
Looking at Chen Siyuan, a hint of composure appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, I didn't come here for any other reason than to see the Tenth Prince. However, it's a pity that the Tenth Prince has come to this at such a young age. Considering that you won't live much longer, I won't hold you accountable for what you did to my Chen family."
She spoke as if she were very magnanimous, and she really did leave.
After Chen Siyuan had left safely, a long time passed before a guard came to the Tenth Prince.
The tenth prince saw that none of his men could even keep a woman in their sight.
Keeping them around is pointless, so I might as well just press the button next to me.
Those who were standing not far away suddenly found themselves suspended in mid-air, then fell to their deaths. The doors above quickly closed again, and then a bloodcurdling scream came from below.
Just now, the Tenth Prince could have easily dealt with Chen Siyuan like that. For some reason, it seemed that Chen Siyuan already knew this, and she always stayed on the edge, never getting close to the center. The trap he set was actually useless against Chen Siyuan.
After calming down, the Tenth Prince thought about what Chen Siyuan had said earlier, and how Chen Siyuan had managed to avoid several traps in the temple. Could it be that there was a traitor among his own people?
