Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C157

She slowly said, “That day was the same as usual.”

His Highness the Crown Prince and the beauties were drunk with joy, he only slept for less than an incense stick of time after taking off his clothes when it was almost daybreak. We heard a commotion from the crown prince’s chamber, and the official on the night shift ran out in a flurry and knocked on the door.

“All of us, under the Inner Court’s portico, watched the shadows of the silhouettes outside sway in an extremely disorderly manner. We waited anxiously for news until Yu Su returned.”

“Yu Su?” Jin Xiaolou suddenly turned her head.

She could not be more familiar with this name, and had heard the Linlang Workshop girls mention it who knows how many times.

“That’s right, Yu Su!” “It is indeed the number one lady in the Liusu Pavilion. She has already been taken in by the crown prince for two months and she slept with him that night.”

Yu Su was actually received into the crown prince’s residence! Jin Xiaolou inexplicably felt that something was amiss. If Yu Su was truly accepted into the crown prince’s residence, then why did the news not come to him at all? According to the temper of those girls, nothing could be spread far and wide. This was a fact that everyone knew.

Moreover, this was not a bad thing. On the contrary, it was a joyous occasion, and the Liusu Pavilion had yet to be unrestrainedly announced, proving the level of the ladies in his pavilion.

They didn’t hear a single sound from their Linlang Workshop, nor did any of the other girls in the shop know about it. They all thought that Yu Su was still the pillar of the stage within the Liusu Pavilion.

Like this, it could only prove that Yu Su entering the crown prince’s residence was a strange and secretive matter.

“When Lady Yu Su returned, she was so scared that her face turned white.” “She said that not long after the crown prince had fallen asleep, she was twitching, as if she had held her breath, his face flushed purple, her body writhing, and after a while she stopped moving. Yu Su had never seen such a scene before. She did not even have the time to put on her robes and immediately ran out to call for help. After waiting for the imperial physician, she asked her a lot of questions before returning. ”

“At that time, Yu Su had heard from the imperial physician that her highness the crown prince died from worry filtering and heart failure.”

“I’m afraid it was an accident.”

“That’s not right!” Jin Xiaolou suddenly shouted as she straightened her back before bending over and approaching the crown prince’s corpse. Reaching out with two fingers, she gently flipped over the collar of the corpse that had been rolled up on its body.

On the black and purple skin of the crown prince’s neck, there was a tiny red dot that was as small as a mole. If one did not look closely, it was impossible to notice it.

The veins on his neck were bulging out from the red dot like a deep and vertical gully.

That red dot was like a drop of red flowers in a ravine. Even if one looked at it carefully, it was easy to be ignored. After all, who didn’t have a red packet on them?

“This coroner,” he said, “was found to have been bitten by a mosquito during an autopsy. It has nothing to do with the crown prince’s death.”

“Is that so?” Jin Xiaolou frowned, “Heart failure can indeed cause cyanosis, but if …”

Jin Xiaolou stopped talking. She did not really understand all this, all that common sense she had was that she had learnt from the elective classes back in college.

She vaguely remembered that cyanosis was a sign of skin and mucous membrane turning purple, especially at the thin tip of the nose and ear. cyanosis did occur in heart failure, which was more likely to result in asphyxia and air embolism.

According to Yu Su, before the crown prince died, he struggled in pain. However, according to the diagnosis given by the imperial physicians, the crown prince should have died suddenly from shock and exhaustion.

The warning before the crown prince’s death, in addition to the appearance of the dead body, and this unremarkable yet extremely suspicious red dot, it was like his blood vessels had been injected with air and his heart had been injected with air, resulting in his death …

This red dot was the mark left by the needle.

If it was really an air embolism, then everything was correct. The crown prince had been murdered, and Gao Lang had guessed that.

The reason why Jin Xiaolou thought of all these, yet didn’t say it out, was because of the high levelled blood vessel injection method. She felt that it was impossible to achieve it in this ancient era where there wasn’t even a needle.

In times like this, would anyone know how to make a syringe that would kill a person by pumping air into their blood vessels?

Jin Xiaolou couldn’t believe that if she could pump air into his blood vessels, she could pour medicine into them and drip blood. This system was purely based on the anatomy and physiology of the modern Western countries.

To have such a hard core, in the ancient times, it was simply a fantasy.

After looking over and over again, he still couldn’t find anything else.

Gao Lang let Xi Shu leave first, then he and Jin Xiaolou walked out of the hall.

Jin Xiaolou kept hherhead down all the way, looking at her toes, her heart tangled as to whether or not she should tell Gao Lang his thoughts.

“My wife, are you tired?” Gao Lang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jin Xiaolou. She was not her usual self, and there was some worry between her brows, causing Gao Lang to be worried.

“Nope.” Jin Xiaolou immediately raised her head and chuckled.

“Then we should go see Yu Su?” Gao Lang reached out and wrapped his arm around Jin Xiaolou’s shoulder.

Jin Xiaolou nodded, and took two more steps forward before slowly opening her mouth: “If I had a bit more to say … It’s a very strange thought. Do, do you want to hear it? ”

Gao Lang laughed, “My wife, most likely, your thoughts are all strange, strange and unique, always able to make people exclaim in admiration!”

Jin Xiaolou sighed, held onto Gao Lang’s hand and walked towards the stone pavilion in the Crown Prince’s Palace’s garden. The inner officer and his bodyguards waited outside, next to Gao Lang, and sat down.

“The place I used to live is very different from the place I live now.” Jin Xiaolou said.

Gao Lang nodded his head: “Compared to the bustling and bustling capital, the Wellhead Village is indeed very different.”

“It’s not Wellhead Village.” Jin Xiaolou lifted her eyes. As the light of the heavens and the shadows of the clouds hovered around, she fixedly looked at Gao Lang, “I come from an era that was changing like flames. Everything there, is unimaginable to the current Great Zhou.”

“That is the future, the future.” Jin Xiaolou was trembling a little, she was not sure how Gao Lang would react to all these.

Do you think you’re crazy? Or had he been bent over by demons? Or was it because he was joking?

Gao Lang was also a little hesitant in the beginning, but when he saw Jin Xiaolou being so serious, he finally believed it.

In the future, from now onwards, Gao Lang looked at the lively Jin Xiaolou in front of him and did not ask her where she had come from. Instead, he asked impatiently, “Will you still be going back?”

“Probably not.”

Just as Jin Xiaolou replied, she hugged her tightly.

“Regardless of whether you are from the past or the future, you are still the wife I am carrying right now.” Gao Lang laid his chin on the top of Jin Xiaolou’s head and muttered, “You are not allowed to leave, never. We still need to give birth to our brothers and sisters in Lin’er, and then see them grow up one by one, we will slowly grow old, and walk towards the future hand in hand. ”

“Promise me!” Gao Lang stood up.

“Alright, I agree.” Jin Xiaolou didn’t even think as she reached out to grab Gao Lang’s hand.

After a long while, Gao Lang then asked again: “What’s the future?”

Hearing Jin Xiaolou’s words, Gao Lang’s heart was initially overwhelmed with emotions, but immediately after, he was deeply shocked. In the end, his face was filled with frustration.

This was the first time Jin Xiaolou showed such an expression ever since she met him.

“My wife, you must be extremely disappointed and unhappy to have come all the way from that place to the current Great Zhou, right?” Gao Lang paused for a moment, and then, enunciated each word clearly, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to change my Great Zhou, to give you a future.”

The two of them sat against each other for a long time, unaware that the sun was setting.

It was still the inner court officials who were waiting outside. When they saw the pavilion was completely dark, they could not help but go up with candles in their hands. Only then did the two of them wake up.

Jin Xiaolou quickly told Gao Lang her thoughts. Originally, Gao Lang wanted to ask Yu Su a question, but after hearing Jin Xiaolou’s conjecture, he gave up on the idea to see Yu Su.

“If what you said is true, then the only person who can make a move against the crown prince will be Yu Su, who slept with him that night.” Gao Lang said, “If you ask too hard, it will be easier to alert the enemy, why not just let it go, wait for the fox to reveal its own tail!”

Thus, the two of them went straight back to Rainbow Garden.

The moment she entered the garden, Lv Yun welcomed him with Lin’er in her arms. Lin’er laughed like a small sun and crawled into Jin Xiaolou’s embrace.

Lv Yun had gone to visit the Linlang Workshop during the day and was in charge of the repair and repair of the shop next door, so she had only returned to the Rainbow Garden for a short while.

Chang An acted as if he had scattered a fight, when he saw that Lv Yun had returned, he almost wanted to cry from gratitude. He pushed Lin’er into her arms and hid as if he was escaping.

After Jin Xiaolou and Lv Yun went to sleep together, ordered someone to prepare hot water for them. Jin Xiaolou traveled for an entire day, taking advantage of the time Gao Lang was in the study room to soak in a bath.

He didn’t want to wait for Gao Lang to return to the house and pull her to take a bath again.

Being able to soak in it with him was even more tiring than rushing around all day …

Closing the doors and windows, Jin Xiaolou took off her clothes, and just as she stepped into the bathtub, she felt that the water was a little too hot.

He quickly called for Lv Yun who was outside to go get more cold water, which caused Lv Yun to accept the order. Not long later, he heard footsteps outside again, and a voice said: “Miss, the water is here.”

Hearing that it was not Lv Yun, Jin Xiaolou did not think much about it, raised her head and said, “Come in.”
