Chapter 104 Great Revenge Achieved, Love Will Be Given by Her

In the palace alley, Jin Suiqing handed the medicinal soup to Jin Shiyu, who sniffed it and said, "It contains pig liver, astragalus, and angelica; it's a blood-nourishing soup."

Jin Suiqing also sniffed, but could only detect a sour stench: "Your nose is really good."

Jin Shiyu touched his nose. He used to hate it when people said he had a keen sense of smell, but now, Jin Suiqing's words were a compliment. He whispered, "Is it to replenish Huangfu Li's blood?"

Jin Suiqing pondered, "Replenishing blood in the middle of the night? That doesn't make sense."

This is why the two decided to go to the Eastern Palace to find out what was going on.

"It would be even better if I could stab Huangfu Li in person," Jin Suiqing thought to himself.

As they approached, a eunuch carrying a bucket of water hurried past. The two quickly lowered their heads, and Jin Suiqing glanced sideways, glancing at the reddish bandages inside the bucket.

Jin Suiqing asked him, "Blood?" Jin Shiyu's nose twitched, and he nodded with a frown.

The bleeding was significant and could not be recovered with just one or two bowls of herbal medicine.

Huangfu Li's hand had been injured for some time, and even if the old wound had relapsed, she shouldn't have bled so much. Judging from this, the medicine in her hand was not prepared for Huangfu Li.

Who exactly is this person who can make Huangfu Li use both soft and hard tactics?

After a moment's thought, Jin Suiqing's intuition suddenly tightened like a bowstring. She looked at Jin Shiyu and stared at him for a long time. She shouldn't hesitate. She picked up the medicine and hurried to the East Palace.

Upon arriving at the East Palace, the desolate atmosphere was frightening, as if no one were alive. Jin Suiqing dared not breathe, lowering her head as she walked inside. Sure enough, she was stopped by the imperial guards: "What are you doing here?"

Jin Suiqing feigned fear: "Come...come and bring the medicine."

The guard asked, "For replenishing blood?"

Jin Suiqing blinked and said in a trembling voice, "I...I don't know, the Imperial Kitchen sent me here."

The imperial guards sneered. Huangfu Li gave the order that, except for a few trustworthy eunuchs and palace maids, everyone who had entered the Eastern Palace today should be killed without exception.

The young palace maid in front of them had run into them.

She's just unlucky.

The guard said, "Come with me," and stepped inside. Jin Suiqing glanced at the corner of the wall and then jogged after her.

The imperial guards led their men to an inconspicuous side hall, greeted their two colleagues guarding the door, opened the door, and led Jin Suiqing inside.

The house was small and empty, without even a lamp lit. There was only a bed, and on the bed lay a thinly dressed person covered in blood. The person's face was obscured by the beams.

The guard closed the door and said to Jin Suiqing, "Serve him soup."

Jin Suiqing walked dejectedly to the bedside, his unease reaching its peak. When he finally saw who was on the bed, his taut intuition snapped.

It is Jin Guizhong.

Jin Suiqing hurriedly lowered her eyes, concealing her panic without a trace, and slowly bent down to the bedside, holding the soup, to feed the drowsy Jin Guizhong.

She appeared calm, but a storm raged within her.

Huangfu Li not only wants to control the Magic Machinery Sect, but also wants to extract the secrets of the Super Sulfur Combustion Engine from Jin Guizhong in order to control the lifeline of the entire Kyushu.

Jin Guizhong is spineless; he must have already acknowledged the secret of the bloodline, otherwise he wouldn't have called someone in the middle of the night to give him a bowl of soup, keeping him alive.

If that's the case, then Kim Si-ok will be the first to be affected.

Kim Gwi-chung is weak and easy to control. Even if he can't have any more children, he will be more obedient than Kim Si-ok in order to survive. Therefore, the choice is to protect Kim Gwi-chung rather than Kim Si-ok.

Huangfu Li was unaware that she, Ye Zi, and Jin Shiyu had already deduced the secrets of their bloodline. Given his vindictive nature, he would surely eliminate anyone or anything that benefited Huangfu Feng.

Huangfu Feng has a blood clotting disorder and cannot undergo prolonged bloodletting, so he needs to eliminate the useful people around her.

The first person he wanted to kill was Kim Si-ok.

Looking at the person on the bed, Jin Suiqing's eyes revealed murderous intent.

Amidst the chaos, if Jin Guizhong wants to save his brother's life and ensure his safe departure from Ziwei City, he must die.

The soup in the bowl dwindled with each feeding. Jin Suiqing stared at the shadows projected on the wall, the guards closing in relentlessly. His sword was already drawn, and he slowly raised his hand.

Jin Suiqing closed her eyes.

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh reached Jin Suiqing's ears. When she opened her eyes again, the guard behind her had already had his neck slit by Jin Shiyu.

Once the person had completely stopped breathing, he tossed the body aside and hurriedly squatted down in front of Jin Suiqing. He reached out to touch Jin Suiqing's face, but his hand was covered in blood, and Jin Shiyu's hand stopped just as he was about to touch it.

In the end, he withdrew his hand.

Jin Shiyu sheathed his dagger, his eyes narrowing with fear as he avoided Jin Guizhong's gaze. "Let's go."

Jin Suiqing suddenly took Jin Shiyu's hand and forcefully inserted it into his palm.

The sticky blood dried quickly, binding the two together, just like a strange fate that made them, who had no blood relation, become siblings, yet not siblings.

Ultimately, they will forge a bond even stronger than that of siblings.

Jin Suiqing held him tightly, refusing to let go: "Brother, Jin Guizhong cannot be kept alive."

"I guessed it." Jin Shiyu lowered his eyes, stared at the two holding hands for a moment, and then slowly let go, forcing a smile, "Sister, you should go out first."

Jin Suiqing took a deep breath. She knew that Jin Shiyu didn't want her to see his ugly side.

Hatred makes people ugly.

In particular, when hatred and the way out are intertwined, confusion and doubt are inevitable. When he made the move, was it to continue to live, or for his mother's hatred, or for something else?

Kim Shi-ok was timid, his eyes glazed over, and he fell into a state of confusion.

Jin Suiqing understood his cowardice, for this was the fate of the character 'Jin Shiyu' in the book.

With his hatred finally resolved, where should he go?

Looking at him, he revealed the same deeply saddened expression as when they first met.

She felt the pain for him; it felt like her heart was bleeding.

Jin Suiqing breathed softly, touched Jin Shiyu's face with her clean hand, gently lifted him, and asked him to look into her eyes, "Brother, do you still remember what Mother said before she died?"

Kim Shi-ok's heart suddenly trembled violently.

Jin Suiqing desperately pried open his jaw to fight against the system: "She said you should hate Jin Guizhong, she wants you to live with hatred, but she is also telling me, brother, don't hate yourself."

Jin Shiyu was surprised. At that time, Jin Suiqing had not yet been sent to the Jin family. How did she know?

"Jin Suiqing," Jin Shiyu trembled uncontrollably, his voice shaking, "who exactly are you?"

The brain's systems kept issuing warnings, and sharp electrical currents, like earthworms digging in the soil, slowly crawled through the brain, exuding pain worse than being slowly sliced ​​to death.

All of them were warning her not to reveal her identity as a transmigrator to the people of this world.

Jin Suiqing gritted her teeth; she was determined to vent.

Jin Shiyu is merely an insignificant supporting character in the book. He is born with hatred in his heart, and because of just two thin lines of text, he walks through the book with hatred in his heart.

But by a twist of fate, Jin Suiqing pulled out his hatred bone one by one.

She reshaped him. Kim Shi-ok could no longer write those shallow words. He would inevitably become a person, a living person, who, when the hatred subsided, could still walk with her through love.

She was in so much pain she was about to faint, but she held back her tears and said firmly, "I am Jin Suiqing, your sister. Brother, they taught you how to hate. From now on, I will love you."

The book was written by the author.

She will give the love.

Suddenly, Jin Shiyu's eyes shone brightly, as if Guanyin's jade vase had cracked open, and pure water and radiant light poured out together.

When the characters in the book awoke, the world lost its splendor.

Shattered and pieced back together, ripples spread across his forehead. Jin Suiqing tilted his head back and kissed the cinnabar mole between Jin Shiyu's eyebrows. As the swirling ripples dissipated, he was no longer the moon in the water or a flower in the mirror.

It was the living, breathing Kim Si-ok.

Jin Suiqing stepped back, lowered her eyes and murmured, "Go do it, I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, Jin Suiqing got up, staggered out the door, her whole body soaked in cold sweat. In her weakness, she closed the door and collapsed to the ground.

The beeping of the system gradually subsided, and Jin Suiqing slowly curled up, calculating in her mind how long it would take for Jin Shiyu to come out. She needed to process all those emotions.

To my surprise, almost instantly, the door behind me opened.

Jin Shiyu bent down and cradled Jin Suiqing in his arms. His amber eyes shone brightly, as if the painting had been finished, and he was full of life. Jin Suiqing was weak and turned his head to look into the room. A dagger was stuck in Jin Guizhong's heart, piercing through his body, and blood was gushing out.

Jin Shiyu stepped aside, blocking her view. Jin Suiqing snorted, "I... I thought you'd say something harsh and have some time to spare."

“No,” Jin Shiyu said. “A cowardly and selfish person like him doesn’t deserve me to give him a eulogy.”

Jin Suiqing breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "Brother, you're committing patricide."

"He is not fit to be a father."

Jin Suiqing blinked and grinned mischievously, "So, the Jin family line is probably over. From now on, there will be no more Jin family super sulfur-burning engines. Brother, how does it feel to have avenged your great enemy?"

Kim Shi-ok laughed: "That's great."

"And then?" Jin Suiqing pressed.

Jin Shiyu bowed his head reverently and nuzzled Jin Suiqing's nose: "From now on, I will focus on living my own little life."

Jin Suiqing said happily, "It's not a small matter. Don't forget, I'm the first person to innovate the super sulfur combustion engine. Not only will I be remembered for a thousand years, but I reckon I can also become a high-ranking official under Ah Feng in the future."

Jin Shiyu walked quickly, carrying her out, and teased her, "That's what it means to live a big life. If my sister becomes successful, I'll be even more honored. Once we leave Ziwei City, I'll change my surname and take my sister's surname from now on."

"Jin Shiyu!" Jin Suiqing shrugged at his shoulder in anger. "I clearly share the same surname as you."

Kim Shi-ok threw his head back and laughed heartily.

The two evaded the imperial guards and returned to the Imperial Kitchen, only to find that two of the waist-high slop buckets were still there in the corner. Gong Xiaoyang, who had been peeking through the lid, quickly stood up when he saw them return, two rotten vegetable leaves still on his head: "You're finally back!"

Jin Suiqing asked in surprise, "Why hasn't it been moved yet?"

Gong Xiaoyang said smugly, "As soon as you left, I deliberately kicked over several buckets. The palace maids thought they were dirty, so they went to busy themselves with storing the ingredients."

Jin Suiqing admired him and gave him a thumbs up.

Not daring to delay any longer, the three of them quickly tidied up three empty buckets. This time, Jin Shiyu wanted to help Jin Suiqing into the bucket, but Jin Suiqing refused and said seriously, "This time, you go in first."

Jin Shiyu looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jin Suiqing pinched her nose and said playfully, "It stinks too much. I want to breathe some more fresh air."

Jin Shiyu chuckled, but still obediently turned his back and stepped into the tub first. As soon as he stood up, he felt a numbness in his neck, his vision went black, and he fainted.

Gong Xiaoyang stared in shock at Jin Suiqing, who was holding a wooden box and had knocked someone unconscious, and exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"

Author's note: It's just cowardice and greed. I refuse to give this scumbag any chance to redeem himself, so I'm taking him offline now.

The older brother's personality has been fully developed, encompassing both love and hate; congratulations!
