"You have always been so outstanding in my heart, it's just a pity that some people can't see your strengths."
"Actually, I came here today because there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
Gu Heng hesitated for a moment: "While you are asking the Emperor to pardon Brother Su, could you also request an imperial edict for a divorce?"
"With your merits, it wouldn't be too much to ask for any reward, let alone something as trivial as this."
Su Yujiao's smile froze, and she stared at Gu Heng with a conflicted look in her eyes.
Gu Heng felt uneasy, wondering if he had been too abrupt in saying what he had said.
He knew in his heart how much she loved Lu Ziqian, but he still couldn't control his selfish desires.
He wanted to settle the divorce as soon as possible so that he would have a chance to treat her well.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Heng asked cautiously, "You still can't let him go?"
Su Yujiao shook her head: "I'm afraid that if I make too many demands, it will backfire."
"There's no future for us. It's over between us a long time ago."
"We'll see how things go then. If possible, I'll request an imperial decree for divorce."
Gu Heng didn't want to put pressure on her, so he stopped asking questions and didn't want to force her.
Therefore, he immediately changed the subject: "When can you leave the yard?"
"Tonight, it's the second crucial period for making penicillin. I need to finish it as soon as possible so that the penicillin stock solution can be extracted sooner and people can be saved sooner."
"It will take about an hour. After I finish my work and thoroughly disinfect myself, I will go to see the Crown Prince."
Gu Heng calculated the time: "I'll come pick you up at 3:45 PM."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Gu."
After Gu Heng left, Chen Yunniang and the other two emerged from the shadows.
Xiaohe stared wide-eyed in shock, while Chen Yunniang remained calm, her gaze fixed on the door.
She never imagined that Physician Su was actually Su Yujiao!
No wonder she felt she looked familiar at first glance and inexplicably disliked her.
Sure enough, she and Su Yujiao were natural enemies; she hated her regardless of whether she was male or female!
"Miss, did you hear that?! She...she's actually Su Yujiao!!!"
"Miss, if we let her make a great contribution, wouldn't she surpass you even more?"
"Judging from her hesitant expression just now, it's clear she doesn't want a divorce; the idea of divorce was just something she said in anger."
"Besides, even if she really wanted a divorce, how could the general bear to let her go when he sees how talented she is?"
"She can exchange her merits for an imperial decree for a divorce, but the general also has many military achievements. If the general does not agree to a divorce, what will the emperor choose?"
"Moreover, the Empress is the General's own aunt. If she could tell that her nephew didn't want a divorce, she would definitely try to reconcile them."
With each word Xiaohe spoke, Chen Yunniang's face grew more and more unpleasant.
She still clearly remembers Su Yujiao's sarcastic words.
【Chen Yunniang, you saw it yourself, it's him who doesn't want a divorce, it's not me who's clinging to him.】
Why won't he give you a formal commitment? Does it mean he doesn't love you that much?
Chen Yunniang's face turned ashen: "Shut up!"
Xiaohe didn't shut up: "Miss, even if you think I'm being nosy, I still have to say it. We can't let her make such a great contribution. Please think of a way!"
"Then let her die!"
Chen Yunniang's face was ruthless: "Anyway, the Crown Prince doesn't know about the antidote yet, so there's still time!"
"What about Gu Heng?"
“He knows the whole truth.”
"Then kill them all together. He's just a poor, pedantic scholar; one slash and he's dead."
"Isn't he supposed to come to pick someone up at 9 PM? Then let's make our move on the way here."
"A dark and windy night is the perfect time to take action."
"Liu Wu, I'm leaving this matter to you."
Liu Wu glanced at Xiao He, clearly unwilling.
He already knew Su Yujiao's identity—Lu Ziqian's woman—and he dared not touch her.
Gu Heng was also a favorite of the Crown Prince, and none of them were people he could afford to offend.
Chen Yunniang noticed Liu Wu's resistance and gave Xiao He a meaningful look.
Xiaohe understood and snuggled sweetly into the man's arms: "Brother Wu, why are you making such a face? You're scaring me to death."
As Xiaohe spoke, her small hands kept drawing circles on the man's chest, then moving downwards...
"You slut, I'll kill you." The man growled, then grabbed Xiaohe and went into the alley next door.
The two didn't care about the environment; Xiaohe pressed herself tightly against the wall...
About fifteen minutes later, Liu Wu walked out, pulling up his pants and looking quite satisfied, with the delicate Xiao He following behind him.
"Hurry up, what are you being so coy about?" Liu Wu patted Xiao He's bottom, which drew a scolding from the woman.
Those captivating eyes were incredibly alluring!
Liu Wu put his arm around Xiao He's shoulder and skillfully reached inside her collar to knead her clothes.
"Speak up, what do you want me to do?"
Ignoring the man's lewd behavior, Chen Yunniang looked away and said, "I remember you killed two Jin spies on your way here and picked up a dagger."
Liu Wu glanced at Chen Yunniang. This woman was cunning. He had been very careful, but she still found out.
"You want me to assassinate Gu Heng with a Jin dynasty dagger?"
"right!"
"We can frame the Jin Kingdom for it then, since those two spies are already dead anyway."
"Kill the bitch inside after you're done having your fun."
"Let them suspect that it is a spy from an enemy country trying to stop Su Yujiao from developing a plague antidote."
She originally intended for Su Yujiao to die from the plague, but now that she has taken the antidote and is no longer afraid of the plague, she might as well kill her.
"Wait, before killing her, force her to hand over the antidote and how to use it."
After taking it, they no longer had to fear the plague.
Actually, she wanted to know the secret formula for developing the antidote, and that would be the one to make a great contribution.
But after thinking about it, she realized she couldn't be too greedy.
After all, everyone here knows that Su Yujiao was developing an antidote in the courtyard. Su Yujiao died, but she still knows how to develop the antidote, which will definitely arouse suspicion.
If her crimes are proven true in the future, even if Lu Ziqian lets her go, the Crown Prince will still have her torn to pieces.
After all, what she did today had a significant impact. It wasn't just killing two people, but also destroying the antidote, which directly led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people from the plague.
This crime is enough to warrant the execution of nine generations of one's family!
In fact, Liu Wu wasn't stupid. He was willing to help because he knew that after tonight, they would all be guilty of the heinous crime of having their entire families executed.
She won't be able to threaten him with that anymore in the future.
They are in the same boat, bound together by life and death!
Liu Wu made Xiao He in his arms pant softly, and nodded absentmindedly, "Okay, I'll listen to you this once."
Killing a woman and a scholar was an easy task for him; he didn't care at all.
"Tell me, when are we going to make our move?"
"Should I go in and fuck that woman right now?" Liu Wu asked with a lewd grin, looking into the courtyard.
I've heard that General Gu's wife is incredibly beautiful; it must be quite a feat to get her involved with.
