Chen Siyuan was settled in the new general's mansion by Qiao Yuchen.
Qiao Yuchen stayed by Chen Siyuan's side all day long and gave a strict order that no matter who came, they should be kicked out.
Wang Yong, Yang Lei, and others kept watch all night, but no one came.
The next day, I saw General Qiao and his wife.
Upon seeing them, Wang Yong and Yang Lei felt it was inappropriate and, instead of chasing them away, politely declined their request.
Mrs. Qiao had an injury on her arm, but it wasn't too serious. She was more worried about Chen Siyuan.
The murder in front of the Empress Dowager has yet to be resolved.
Unable to find Chen Siyuan, she was worried and begged General Qiao to bring her here, but this was the unexpected outcome.
Mrs. Qiao stood at the door and cried for a while.
General Qiao looked at the door he was in charge of, and then helped Madam Qiao leave.
Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Qiao was still wiping away tears.
"General, do you think we are...?"
"no."
Madam Qiao looked at General Qiao, "Not what?" She hadn't even finished speaking, what could this blockhead possibly know?
"They are trying to distance themselves from us."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao cried even harder.
Thinking of Chen Siyuan, who usually seems like a shrewd child, how could she have caused such a commotion yesterday?
She knew it was wrong for the Empress Dowager to openly bestow a poisoned bracelet as a reward, but this...
"They are protecting you," General Joe could only state the facts.
Mrs. Qiao was stunned.
She looked at the man, not understanding what he meant.
"His real reason for moving out is to sever ties with us." That brat, thinking he can't see through us, is just worried that what he did will implicate the General's Mansion.
There are many things he doesn't want to talk about, but he sees them clearly.
What he really meant was that they weren't afraid of any danger, no matter how great.
Since it was a child's good intention, we had no choice but to accept it.
Separation isn't necessarily a bad thing; given the current situation, he can still make things work.
What General Qiao hasn't said so far is that, no matter what, as long as the Emperor is alive, Chen Siyuan will not be in danger.
He would never say this aloud, and he would keep this secret forever.
General Qiao first escorted Madam Qiao back to the General's Mansion, and then secretly went to the Imperial Palace.
Qiao Yuchen was at the new general's mansion when he saw how quiet it was outside.
He was starting to lose his composure.
Knowing that Su Wen was there, no one should make things difficult for Chen Siyuan.
Seeing the scene before me, it seemed that wasn't the case.
Chen Siyuan also found it strange.
"So quiet?"
Qiao Yuchen also found it strange, "Yeah, why is it so quiet?"
Even if Su Wen were to follow the proper procedures, she should have questioned Chen Siyuan.
What exactly happened?
"I'm going to the palace to take a look. You stay home and wait for me. No matter who comes, don't leave."
"You..." What exactly did the man want to do? Seeing the look in his eyes, she felt things weren't going to get good.
"It's nothing, I'm just going to join in the fun." Qiao Yuchen said this and left quickly.
Chen Siyuan was worried at first about being alone in the general's mansion, but as time went on, she realized that something was amiss.
Just as I initially thought, I was being used by others, so... who was using me?
Chen Siyuan tried hard to recall the scene at that time, and suddenly remembered the imperial edict.
She recalled the expressions on the Empress Dowager's and Consort Hua's faces at that time.
Without thinking twice, he immediately ran into the house and told Chunlan and Chunping to guard the door and not let anyone in.
She secretly opened the imperial edict that she had carefully hidden.
The moment it was opened, Chen Siyuan froze on the spot.
She recognized all the words, and when they were put together, she could hardly believe it.
He stared at the imperial edict for a long time, without reacting.
Because he had been alone in the house for too long, and Chunlan and Chunping were too loyal, they saw Qiao Yuchen coming back from outside.
They reported the news immediately.
Qiao Yuchen thought Chen Siyuan couldn't withstand the pressure and was going to do something rash, so he immediately kicked the door open and rushed in.
Hearing the noise, Chen Siyuan mechanically turned her head to look.
Upon seeing that it was Qiao Yuchen, she didn't react much for a long time.
Qiao Yuchen was terrified and rushed over immediately.
Seeing that the woman was unharmed, and noticing what she was holding out of the corner of his eye—an imperial edict—he didn't react much.
I've seen countless imperial edicts, and they're all the same; there's nothing strange about them.
"Yu Chen, look?" Chen Siyuan finally realized that the emperor had really gone mad, otherwise why would he give her this imperial edict?
Looking at it, Chen Siyuan felt even more strongly that it resembled a will.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Yuchen held the woman in his arms, noticing her trembling body, and followed her gaze to the imperial edict in her hand.
He only glanced at one sentence before turning to look at Chunlan, Chunping, and the others who were about to walk in, and said, "Get out!"
This time, Chunlan and Chunping couldn't stay calm.
what is going on?
Is there something wrong with the imperial edict?
Qiao Yuchen, having been through similar experiences, knew what this imperial edict would bring them, so he deliberately spoke to Chen Siyuan.
"It's just an imperial edict, why are you making that face?"
“Yu Chen, this is…” his last will and testament.
These are things that are only brought out after the emperor's death.
More importantly, this is an imperial edict concerning the throne. If the edict were clear, it would be fine, but this one... Chen Siyuan, who had experienced a lot, could not remain calm at this moment.
No one knows what's going on; either the old emperor has become senile, or he himself is truly nearing the end.
