Wang Li looked at the man.
This guy is really persistent in his wicked intentions.
This person deliberately led Chen Siyuan on horseback along the road, intending to force Chen Siyuan to be with him.
Fortunately, Chen Siyuan saw through this man's ambition.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in the capital, this person became a member of the Western Depot.
If he weren't worried about Chen Siyuan having just returned to the capital and not causing too much of a commotion, and if this person weren't now a member of the Western Depot, he would want to kill him right now.
"Wang Li." Chen Siyuan looked at Wang Li, gesturing for him to put the dagger away.
Today is the day Qiao Yuchen enters the city. Making a scene with bloodshed would be bad and might even anger the emperor.
Song Ji looked at Chen Siyuan and sneered, "I congratulate the young mistress on her resurrection."
Recently, the news in Beijing has been full of stories about Qiao Yuchen's glorious deeds, which seem to have nothing to do with this woman. However, he knows that if this woman hadn't risked her life, how could Qiao Yuchen have achieved his current glory?
Unfortunately, all the glory was taken by that despicable Qiao Yuchen, while this woman became unknown.
I wonder if this woman is stupid!
Seeing her so foolishly giving so much for another man, he felt...
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He didn't want to admit it, but looking at Chen Siyuan in front of him, he knew from her eyes that she had fallen in love with Qiao Yuchen and had put her whole heart into that man, which was why she was so indifferent.
So that's how it is, so that's how it is, she's still so naive!
"Lord Song." The main group that had escorted Qiao Yuchen had already passed by. Tao Yifan followed behind. He later saw Chen Siyuan's figure and gradually stepped back. When he saw that everyone was looking over, he walked over.
It had been a long time since I'd seen her. She looked thinner and more haggard, but now she looked even more captivating.
Chen Siyuan and Song Ji looked to the side.
Tao Yifan!
Dressed in official robes, he was even more dazzling, especially in the sunlight, when the sunlight shone on his hair and emitted dazzling light.
"Lord Tao." Song Ji looked at Tao Yifan, whose aloof and noble demeanor deepened the smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes indeed as cold as frost. "Lord Tao, how have you been?"
Chen Siyuan was grateful for Tao Yifan's help back then; otherwise, she didn't know when she would have been able to escape that place. Seeing him now was exciting, and seeing the invisible tension between Tao Yifan and Song Ji, she knew it was related to her.
However, given the current situation, it is not appropriate for her to be in front of everyone.
They didn't want others to know about their past relationship or the things that happened around them.
Qiao Yuchen's return to Beijing this time will inevitably disrupt many people's plans.
At this point, if their past becomes known, it could become a weapon to attack the other party.
She didn't care what happened to Song Ji; what she cared about were Tao Yifan and Qiao Yuchen.
She had gradually let go of Tao Yifan's matter and thought she wouldn't think about it too much anymore, but after what happened last time, she had to be careful.
In Chen Siyuan's view, there was bound to be a tough battle between the Third Prince, whom Tao Yifan was assisting, and the Seventh Prince, whom Qiao Yuchen was assisting. She selfishly hoped that the struggle between them was not caused by her.
Chen Siyuan seized the opportunity to turn around and leave.
Wang Li then left.
Tao Yifan kept staring at Song Ji in front of him, unable to understand what kind of person he was.
When she was a servant in her own household, she did not hesitate to conspire with Aunt Zhao to scheme against Chen Siyuan in order to climb the social ladder. Why did she save Chen Siyuan in this matter?
Is it that this person still hasn't let go of Chen Siyuan, or is he thinking of another way?
Given that Song Ji is now a eunuch, what exactly is he planning to do?
Tao Yifan was so eager to know that he even abandoned any semblance of dignity he had in front of others.
They both knew in their hearts that if it weren't for them, the third prince would have been the one to benefit in the end.
It could be said that the current predicament faced by the Third Prince is entirely caused by the two of them.
Many things they did were not directly told to outsiders, but they understood each other in their hearts.
What turbulent emotions must have surged within the Third Prince's heart as he held the imperial edict today?
"Lord Song, why?" Others might not know, but Tao Yifan knew perfectly well that Chen Siyuan had been kidnapped from the General's Mansion and then told to him.
He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. And based on what he had just seen, he felt that Song Ji was intentionally hiding something.
"Want to have a drink together?" Song Ji glanced at him.
"No, thank you." Tao Yifan knew he couldn't get anything out of him and didn't want to waste his time.
Besides, he'll be very busy these next few days.
Song Ji glanced at Tao Yifan and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Tao Yifan kept watching. He knew that the current Song Ji was no longer the original Song Ji, and he couldn't look at this person with old eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared right before our eyes; that's quite remarkable.
Soon, Tao Yifan gathered up his emotions and left.
He had just caught up with Qiao Yuchen's group when he saw the look in Qiao Yuchen's eyes.
That look was full of meaning, but he just sneered when he saw it.
It's good enough that he came back alive. He's already acting arrogantly. Doesn't he know that what awaits him in the capital is not just the emperor's reward for his merits?
Soon, the group arrived at the palace.
The Emperor summoned them to his study.
His speech stirred the emotions of everyone present.
Unfortunately, some people were excited with joy, while others were excited with trepidation.
In any case, at the Emperor's command, people soon began to leave the Imperial Study.
