Chen Siyuan looked at Qiao Yuchen, cupped his face in her hands, and looked at him carefully. Then, she carefully traced his outline with her hands.
"You know what? I was terrified when I saw you like that that day." Chen Siyuan originally thought that some things didn't need to be said, especially to this arrogant man in front of her. But seeing his tightly furrowed brows, she knew that he hadn't let go of many things.
This is not a good thing for him; there are many things she can only say.
Some things shouldn't be kept to yourself; you should speak them out boldly.
These words were indeed effective. Qiao Yuchen stared at Chen Siyuan for a long time, and the worry in her eyes made his strong heart collapse.
He held the woman in his arms, buried his face in front of her, and began to sob.
Chen Siyuan didn't say anything more, but gently stroked his head, as if comforting an ignorant child.
Once the man calmed down, he suddenly stood up, turned his back to the woman, and said, "I have something to do, you should rest first."
"Um."
Qiao Yuchen felt that he had lost his composure in front of the woman. He had actually let go of the strength he had always maintained because of a single sentence from her.
He was filled with mixed feelings and didn't know how to face the woman, so he could only flee in a sorry state.
Chen Siyuan seemed determined not to let the man off the hook, saying, "I'll wait for you to eat!"
The sound wasn't loud, but Qiao Yuchen heard it clearly.
As he left, Qiao Yuchen had a smile on his lips. Soon after, he returned to the cell and began targeting Feng Dasen again.
Wenxuan was following up on these matters when he saw Qiao Yuchen arrive. He initially thought Qiao Yuchen was there to kill someone, but seeing the change in Qiao Yuchen's demeanor, and knowing that he was somewhat familiar with these people, he quickly followed behind Qiao Yuchen and busied himself with their affairs.
Busy, busy, another day has passed.
Qiao Yuchen finally learned some useful information from the doctor's diagnosis and from Feng Dasen, who had just woken up.
In his final moments, Feng Dasen used his last remaining strength to tightly grip Qiao Yuchen's clothes, saying, "I know I deserve to die, but my son is innocent."
Qiao Yuchen listened to the hand that was tightly gripping his.
Then I looked at Feng Dasen's face.
So many people lost their lives because of him, and this man said these words even on his deathbed.
I originally wanted to kill him, but it seems that won't work now.
In order to expose someone's true colors, he had no choice but to endure it and change his plans.
When Qiao Yuchen returned to the courtyard, he tried his best to appear much more normal.
With each step he took, he thought about everything that had happened since he arrived in Huzhou.
He always knew that things in Huzhou weren't as simple as they seemed, and that there was an unseen force at work behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, when I actually found out who was behind it all, the truth was quite different from what I had imagined.
He couldn't stay calm.
Someone who has been lying low for so many years, and now so many things have been exposed, the outcome of this matter will not be good.
After thinking it over, he made a decision.
Back inside, I saw Chen Siyuan sitting at the table waiting.
At that moment, seeing the steaming hot food and the woman who turned her head to look at him after hearing the noise, he smiled.
No matter how tired he was, she was always there for him.
No matter what, this woman was always behind him, which gradually eased his heavy heart.
The two ate a simple meal, and then went to the courtyard to look at the moon.
The moon in the night sky is still the same as when I was in the capital. It seems that the moon is unaware of the suffering of the people and continues to be its lonely self.
Chen Siyuan leaned on the man's shoulder, watching and thinking about what had happened during this time; it all seemed like a dramatic scene.
Only she knows the truth about what she has been through.
The scheming and backstabbing that people in the capital engage in for profit pales in comparison to everything I've experienced here.
At this point, Chen Siyuan clearly understood the treacherous nature of officialdom.
She vaguely guessed that the matter was related to a powerful figure in the capital.
The matter is so urgent that it needs to be kept secret from everyone. There must be a high-ranking and powerful figure in the capital to suppress these matters.
The most important person is the Emperor; this matter shouldn't involve him.
Since all the wealth in the world belongs to the emperor, he has no need to amass wealth in this way, as this action would shake the foundation of the Shang Kingdom.
Even if the emperor is unwell recently, he won't do anything foolish.
If it's not the emperor, then who could it be?
Was it a powerful minister who, in order to amass wealth, took on such a major task?
If that's the case, this person is an outsider, at least not a member of the royal family. In order to secure his position in the court, he had to frantically amass wealth in order to prolong his official career. Or, to be even bolder, it could mean that someone wanted to overthrow the entire court so that he could become emperor.
If that's the case, then there will be fewer people who suspect it.
General Qiao, who holds military power, is one of the suspects.
However, the relationship between General Qiao and the Emperor was not simple, and based on my interactions with him, I knew that General Qiao was not someone who coveted power.
If it wasn't General Qiao, there was another person, and that was Prime Minister Yuwen Kang.
The prime minister wielded considerable power.
The prime minister is a position second only to the emperor, above all others.
Apart from the imperial power, the prime minister, being a member of a different family, held the highest rights and status in the center of power.
Could it be him?
I had never met the prime minister before, but I knew everything about him.
He was still single even in middle age.
During this period, he represented the emperor on diplomatic missions to various countries. It can be said that Chen Siyuan, in this rebirth, has not yet had the opportunity to see the prime minister as he was.
