"Mom, do you want to go see Cuizhu?"
"I do. It's not because of the master-servant relationship, but because I want to know the answer." Qin Wan said softly.
"I'll go with you."
Qin Wan hadn't expected Su Qi to actually go with her, so she was naturally happy to do so. "Qi Qi, thank you." She reached out and took Su Qi's hand, the poison on her face now much lighter.
Prepare a green paste from herbs and apply it on your face.
Su Qi made various face masks for Qin Wan to wear. Her hair was tied up in a grand bun with a few pearl hairpins inserted diagonally.
They are all emerald and jade hairpins with gold beads.
She was wearing a lake green flowing brocade with a few lotus flowers sparsely embroidered on it.
She was particularly beautiful in action, wearing a pair of jade bracelets that she hadn't worn for a long time. Su Qi saw that the water head was particularly good and asked who gave it to her.
"Beiheng's father gave it to me."
The word "Bei Heng Dad" made Su Qi dazed.
That War King actually doted on Qin Wan very much.
Su Qi helped Qin Wan out of the yard and asked Ying Yi to take them to where Cui Zhu was being held. "Tell Bai Zhi to follow, bring some honey, and catch some bugs and ants to send over."
Yingyi clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
He solemnly ordered the people around him to catch insects and ants, picking out those that bite hard and are particularly ugly.
Baizhi quickly caught up with the honey jar in her hand.
Su Qi was still whispering to Qin Wan, "Mom, the War King has not married yet. I think you still have a chance. After calculating their ages, it's okay to give Bei Heng a younger brother or sister."
Qin Wan's face suddenly turned red to her ears.
"What nonsense are you talking about. How old am I?" Qin Wan's eyes were filled with mist, just like the stars in the sky.
She doesn't have high demands and thinks that today's life is the most beautiful.
Su Qi calculated that Gu Beiheng was only 24 years old. Qin Wan was only 41. As long as she took care of herself, she would have a good life ahead of her.
As they were talking, they came to a secret room in the Qin Mansion.
Su Qi had already told Qin Wan that Cui Zhu was more familiar with the structure of the Qin Mansion and had also found two underground secret rooms, which Qin Wan didn't know about.
The treasure in this secret room was probably taken away by Cuizhu.
Gu Beiheng asked Yingyi to turn it into a secret room for interrogation, and Cuizhu is now imprisoned here.
This is a water dungeon.
The prison was filled with water, with only a stone staircase leading from the top to the prisoners' front. Cuizhu was chained to the innermost cell. She lowered her head and slowly raised her eyes when she heard the voice.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Wan.
It’s been a long time since I saw Qin Wan like this.
Cuizhu was a little confused, "Miss Wan?"
"Cuizhu. You have been with me since you were ten years old. I want to know if all this is intentional?" Qin Wan knew that Cuizhu was having a hard time when he looked at her.
Soak in ice-cold water.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Cuizhu lowered her head, hiding the ambiguous coldness in her eyes. She laughed sarcastically and said:
"Miss Wan, I hate that War King for turning you into someone who would go to Dongqi solely for love. It's all his fault. If you hadn't fallen in love with him, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Is it just because of this?" Qin Wan remembered that Su Qi said it was not the reason.
"Why do you still work for him? You'd rather suffer than give him up?"
Cuizhu asked in return, "I've been with you since I was ten years old. Don't you know who I'm in contact with?"
"The woman next to you is trying to sow discord between us, the master and the servant."
Su Qi snorted coldly.
"Aren't you here for the Qin Mansion's former medicine garden?" Su Qi's words exploded like thunder.
Cuizhu's fleeting panic did not escape Qin Wan's eyes.
"Nonsense. I'm not a doctor."
"Baizhi. Cuizhu is stubborn and treacherous. What's hateful is that she made Beiheng suffer so much. Give her a little sweetness."
"Hey, I brought some honey."
Baizhi came over with honey.
Cuizhu glanced at Su Qi coldly and said disdainfully, "This is all a little woman can do."
What to do with honey?
Baizhi didn't say anything when she came in front of Cuizhu, and took out a small knife as thin as a cicada's wing in her hand.
He pinched Cuizhu's chin with one hand and cut more than a dozen cuts on her face with a knife.
The cut wasn't deep, just a slight bruise on the skin.
Cuizhu screamed several times.
"Su Qi, is this all you can do? It's far worse than your man's." Cuizhu still cared about her face.
Bai Zhi cut her neck a few more times, but avoided the blood vessels.
Stroke across the hands and arms one by one.
When you are finished, put the knife away.
She smeared each wound with honey. After she finished, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Such a delicate job is only suitable for Chunhe. I'm exhausted."
Yingyi and Juanmao caught a lot of ants and insects.
"Baizhi, the ant nest is coming."
"Curly, move the ants to another place to make their home." Su Qi stood aside, and he and Qin Wan stepped aside to let Curly and the others pass.
Qin Wan opened her mouth in surprise. She knew what Su Qi meant.
Cuizhu's pupils shrank, her body twisted non-stop, and she cursed Su Qi.
Baizhi hit Cuizhu's mouth with the end of the whip, causing her mouth to swell up.
Curly was very excited. He carefully placed all the ants and insects on Cuizhu's face, hands and neck.
Cuizhu, who had been cursing earlier, kept begging for mercy.
"Please spare my life, Miss Wan, I beg you." Cuizhu kept shaking, trying to shake off the ants on her body.
The ants crawled into the wound.
Qin Wan watched all this coldly, without any sympathy for her. Thinking of everything that had happened over the years, she suddenly felt like time had been wasted.
"Cuizhu, why don't you tell me your purpose?"
Cuizhu collapsed.
"For the Qin Mansion's medicine garden. It is said that the Qin Mansion has a medicine garden that grows many medicinal herbs that are not available outside."
"Who is the mastermind behind this?" Su Qi asked again.
Cuizhu was stunned for a moment. She looked at Qin Wan's disgusted expression. For a moment, she wanted to say that name.
"Miss Wan, don't hate me. I had no choice. I regret what I did in those years. Later, I was willing to accompany you and was unwilling to hand you over." Cuizhu's eyes were moist.
Su Qi said coldly: "But you have never given up looking for the medicine garden."
Closing her eyes, Cuizhu said sadly:
"Su Qi, don't go too far. I didn't intend to hurt Miss Wan. It was all an accident."
Qin Wan turned around and asked, suppressing the nausea in his heart, "Who is behind you?"
"Yes... yes..." Cuizhu wanted to say the name.
Suddenly, there was a dizzying pain and black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Cuizhu eventually stopped breathing.
She never closed her eyes, staring at Qin Wan with turbid tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
Qin Wan didn't want to stay any longer. She would rather die than reveal that person's name. She felt like she had really given up.
"Yingyi, drag him out and don't dirty the Gu Mansion." Qin Wan said and turned to leave.
Su Qi took a look and said, "Throw it into a mass grave."
"Alright. I'll have someone take care of it right away."
Su Qi came out and caught up with Qin Wan. She supported Qin Wan and said:
"Mom, how about we learn to be elegant and invite a few people over to enjoy the flowers and drink tea?"
"Where do you have the time? The medical competition will be held in two days, so you will be busy." Qin Wan patted the back of Su Qi's hand, knowing that she wanted to comfort her.
She didn't feel bad.
If it weren't for these people with ulterior motives, she and he would have lived happily ever after.
That day he had promised her that they would be together for the rest of their lives, which touched her.
Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Qin Wan didn't take it to heart.
After sending Qin Wan back to the courtyard, she asked Dabao and Erbao to accompany Qin Wan. Su Qi quietly hid in the study, studying medical books and reading all the books Huang Ruxin had given her.
