Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C208
Jin Xiaolou was sincere, she was not the kind of person who would casually make such a promise, but in this world, she was willing to sacrifice her life for Gui Qi and Gao Lang.
When he opened his mouth, his voice had become much softer, “Madam, I know that Gui Zhi and Seventh Elder are important people in your life. You have a very good relationship with them, and they both have a deep friendship with you.
Nan Yang continued as she narrowed her eyes, “This choice is a dilemma for Madam, but it’s different for me. Everything I do is for the Seventh Elder’s own good.
“As for the others, I don’t care about them at all.” Nan Yang raised her eyebrows slightly, and said faintly, “Therefore, I made a choice on behalf of Madam. Huang Guizhi can no longer be saved.”
Last night, when Nan Yang heard that the Fu Niang was going to swallow medicine to coerce Jin Xiaolou, she made up her mind. After following Fu Niang back to the Rainbow Garden, Nan Yang sneakily changed her medicine while she was still in front of the Fu Niang.
“There is medicine for Huang Guizhi in the Prince Xian, but my poison was prepared to be used to commit suicide in times of great danger. There is no medicine that can be saved in this world.” While Nan Yang was speaking, she kept on looking at Jin Xiaolou, “I’ve replaced the poison that the Gui Qi ate, releasing Prince Xian would no longer be of any use to me.”
Jin Xiaolou’s entire body shivered, she looked at Nan Yang in disbelief, and then turned to Gui Qi and looked.
Gui Zhi was still lying there quietly, as if he had fallen asleep. However, a thin layer of gauze covered his initially bright white skin, giving it a strange bluish-purple color.
Jin Xiaolou only felt that it was hard to breathe, and when she turned around, Nan Yang had already kneeled down in front of Jin Xiaolou: “Madam, I caused Gui Qi’s death, if you want to kill me, kill me, I’ll punish you however you want.”
Jin Xiaolou’s mind was buzzing, she did not care about Nan Yang, but sat by Gui Qi’s bedside and held her cold hand lightly.
Lv Yun went to find a doctor, and the results were as Nan Yang said, there was no cure.
In the past few days, Jin Xiaolou did not even think about eating, and stayed with Gui Qi for an entire day and night. She did not know if Gui Zhi could still hear her speak, but in the past, when she was in the modern world, someone had mentioned that before a person died, the last thing they lost was hearing.
Jin Xiaolou then continued to tell Gui Qi about the days they spent together. Although she did not know if she still remembered, if she had anything beautiful to hold on to before she left, it should be much warmer and more comforting.
On the day of Gui Qi’s death, the Emperor’s rewards had just come down. The new Emperor, due to Zhao Yao’s hard work as bodyguard, authorized him to return to the capital, and bestowed upon him the title of Prince Yao.
Hearing her father-in-law’s sharp voice shouting the last word, Jin Xiaolou stood up and a teardrop fell on her forehead.
Jin Xiaolou rolled up her hair that was as black as ink and pushed open the door.
She hadn’t left the door in days.
Originally, Gao Lang had sent a few servants to guard the front of the Gui Zhi Zun house to take care of Jin Xiaolou, but now all of the Rainbow Garden were on their knees in front of the garden.
Gao Lang was currently receiving the decree, and was accompanied by Chang An and a group of guards. The moment they came back from the military camp, Gao Lang had locked her up the moment he poisoned Gui Zhi.
Although it was for her own good, Nan Yang still hid the truth and acted on his own, so Gao Lang had to punish her.
Jin Xiaolou looked at the people kneeling in front of him, then turned and walked out of the back door. Along the way to the Supreme Court, since Jin Xiaolou was already the Consort of the Prince Yao, it was extremely easy to enter and exit the dungeon.
When she stood in front of Zhao Jin through the prison door, she finally accepted the fact that Gui Zhi had already left from the bottom of her heart.
“One day, I will make a mistake too.” When Zhao Jin heard the noise, he turned and was shocked to see that the one who came was Jin Xiaolou, “I thought you would save her, but you gave up on her for Seventh brother.”
“You are a dignified Fifth Prince of the Great Zhou, a renowned Prince Xian. Why did you use such a despicable method to use a woman’s life in exchange for your life?!” Jin Xiaolou hated him, “You are really despicable.”
“Everything is voluntary to her. What, is it wrong for me to be too charming?” Zhao Jin laughed lightly, her handsome face was cold and venomous, “You too, Jin Xiaolou, in the end, you were the one who killed Gui Zhi. It was your choice that caused her to die, luckily she has forgotten the past, otherwise, she would probably be heartbroken.”
Jin Xiaolou laughed coldly, but her laughter sounded even more miserable. Poor Gui Zhi, she had killed Gui Zhi herself.
Gui Qi once said that she loved to dance, but up until now, Jin Xiaolou had not been able to see her dancing a single time.
Jin Xiaolou waved her hand and a guard walked over with a tray.
On the dark tray, there was a white porcelain bottle, a white silk ribbon, and a small crossbow.
Jin Xiaolou picked up her crossbow and received the tray, then passed the white porcelain bottle and the white silk to the prison door. “Choose one of the two.”
Jin Xiaolou didn’t care about her loss of composure that had tears all over her face, because she had long treated the person in front of her as a dead man.
“You dare to execute me?” Zhao Jin slightly lifted his chin, his face full of disbelief, “I am still in Prince Xian, so who do you think you are to take my life?”
Jin Xiaolou took a step back, took out a short arrow, pulled the bow open, and shot the arrow without blinking. Puff!
This sudden arrow caused Zhao Jin to stumble and fall onto the soft cushion.
The muscles on his face trembled, and it was unknown if it was because of the pain, but she clenched her teeth and said: “Jin Xiaolou, you don’t have the qualifications to kill me, so call Zhao Yao over! Tell him to come and see me! ”
Jin Xiaolou laughed again, and her tears fell even more. “Don’t waste your energy, Zhao Jin. Either choose obediently and die comfortably, or get shot through by me, arrow by arrow, and have my blood run dry, continue to live on in extreme pain, and die in extreme pain, you know what to choose. ”
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows, the valiant look he had in the past was no longer there. He glared fiercely at Jin Xiaolou, “The Emperor has not decided my crime yet, Jin Xiaolou, if you kill me, you won’t be able to live!”
“At least I’ll live longer than you.” Jin Xiaolou shot another arrow. When she let go of the arrow, the arrow pierced Zhao Jin’s left arm and blood flowed out from the wound, spraying everywhere in the cell.
This time, Zhao Jin knew that Jin Xiaolou was serious.
For the first time, he felt flustered. Everything had always been under his control, and even if he failed to usurp power, he was sure that with the chess piece, the Fu Niang, he would still be able to counterattack. But now, he miscalculated.
Jin Xiaolou, a peasant girl who came from the Xin Ning, was a vulgar and vulgar woman, what right did she have to take her life?
The anger and hatred in his chest almost burst out, causing Zhao Jin’s eyes to turn red, his breathing became ragged.
“You should have died a long time ago.” Jin Xiaolou muttered, “For the innocent lives in your hands, Zhou Shuli, for Huang Guizhi.”
“Before you die, you must remember their names and faces!”
Jin Xiaolou shot another arrow over, and pierced through Zhao Jin’s abdomen. Zhao Jin gritted his teeth, pulled out the three arrows from his body and threw them on the ground. He was like a lowly beast, being played with and killed by others was truly disgraceful.
If he had known that such a day would come, he might as well have fought in the imperial court with everything he had. If he failed, he might as well have died happily!
It was just that the world had not known this long ago.
“Jin Xiaolou, you are really malicious!” Zhao Jin growled, “Gui Zhi not only died because of you, but he also lost his memories because of you! Do you know what happened to her before she lost her memory? Do you want to know? ”
Jin Xiaolou’s hand that was holding the crossbow trembled. She naturally wanted to know why Gui Zhi had lost his memory.
“If you call Zhao Yao here and ask him to come see me, I’ll tell you what happened to Gui Qi these past few days.”
Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She had always wanted to know what had happened to Gui Zhi. Why can’t I remember myself? I don’t remember the past.
But right now, Gui Zhi had already left, so what could he do even if he knew?
Jin Xiaolou steadied her hand and shot another arrow out. “Have you chosen?”
Seeing that Jin Xiaolou did not follow her plans, Zhao Jin suddenly felt that she might really lose her life in this dark and dirty dungeon.
He originally had an entire world to fight for. He still hadn’t unfurled his grand plans yet, so how could he die so easily in this dungeon? Died at the hands of this woman?
Zhao Jin spat out the sweet taste that had surged up from his mouth: “Don’t even think about manipulating me.”
With that, he closed his eyes and fell back onto the soft cushion.
The soft cushion was very soft, because he had been leaning on it this entire time. When he slept, it was a little warm, and for some reason, it made him think of when he had saved Fu Niang, and how he had hugged her.
She was the first woman he had held, and the last.
Jin Xiaolou followed suit and closed her eyes, raising her bow, she shot out continuously …
