Chapter 676: My biggest regret in this life is marrying you out of greed and vanity
Princess Yong leaned in her arms like a child and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Xingyao carefully covered her with the quilt and gently placed the rattle that had fallen to the ground next to her pillow.
She stood up and quietly left the bedroom.
The night wind was very cool, causing the lanterns in the corridor to sway gently, and the light and shadows on the ground stretched and shortened.
She had just taken two steps when a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the pillar.
“Puff!”
The cold tip of the knife pierced through her flesh, and Lin Xingyao's body stiffened. She lowered her head in disbelief, looking at the blood blooming on her abdomen.
She raised her head and met a pair of bloodshot eyes burning with crazy hatred.
The person holding the knife was Zhao Qingzhi. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were red.
"You..." Lin Xingyao only had time to utter one word.
"Go to hell!" Zhao Qingzhi's face was distorted, like a ghost. She pulled out a dagger and went crazy again, slashing one after another, quickly and fiercely, and roaring like a beast.
Blood spurted out, instantly staining Lin Xingyao's luxurious dress red and splashing all over Zhao Qingzhi's face.
"Ah! Murder! Murder!"
The maid who was standing in the distance was so frightened when she saw this horrific scene that she screamed!
"The Crown Prince's Concubine has gone crazy! The Crown Prince's Concubine has killed someone!"
"stop!"
Lin Jingchuan rushed over and kicked the already crazy Zhao Qingzhi away.
He rushed over and tried to hug the limp Lin Xingyao, but her body was full of holes and blood was gushing out.
He stretched out his hands, trying to cover the wounds, but he couldn't.
The warm blood instantly dyed his hands, his robe, and the cold bluestone under his feet red.
"Brother..." Lin Xingyao leaned in his arms, breathing weakly, "I... am I dying?"
"Doctor! Go call a doctor!" Lin Jingchuan hugged her and yelled at the frightened servants around him.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Zhao Qingzhi, who was lying on the ground, propped herself up and sat up. She looked at Lin Jingchuan's nervous and heartbroken expression and let out a shrill laugh.
"I'm just crazy! She deserves to die! She must be buried with my child!"
Lin Xingyao's eyes were fixed on Lin Jingchuan's face. She used up her last bit of strength to grab his sleeve.
"Brother, please don't hate me, okay? I'm just jealous, jealous...jealous of her being able to stand by your side openly."
"In my entire life, I have only loved my brother!"
"Disgusting! So disgusting!" Zhao Qingzhi's laughter stopped abruptly. She looked at them with endless resentment and ridicule in her eyes.
The next moment, she raised the dagger in her hand that was still dripping with blood, and without hesitation, stabbed it into her heart.
"Qingzhi!"
Lin Jingchuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously let go of Lin Xingyao in his arms, and rushed over to hug Zhao Qingzhi like crazy.
The moment she was abandoned, the last light in Lin Xingyao's eyes completely dimmed.
"Where's the doctor? Why hasn't the doctor come yet?" Lin Jingchuan wanted to press on Zhao Qingzhi's wound, but she pushed him away.
"It's useless." Black blood trickled down Zhao Qingzhi's mouth. She looked at him with a relieved smile on her face. "You can't save her, and you can't save me. I've already smeared poison on the dagger."
Lin Jingchuan lowered his head suddenly.
Only then did I see that the blood flowing from the two men's bodies was pitch black.
"Lin Jingchuan," Zhao Qingzhi looked into his eyes and spoke word by word, "The thing I regret most in my life is marrying you out of greed and vanity."
As she finished her words, her hands dropped limply.
"mother!"
A young man's heart-wrenching cry was heard, and Lin Jiayou stumbled over.
Lin Xingyao, who had already died, seemed to be startled by the call. She held on with one breath, raised her hand, and waved in the direction of Lin Jiayou.
Lin Jiayou rolled and crawled to her side.
Lin Xingyao whispered in his ear, intermittently admonishing him: "You'er, remember... you must make Gu Qingchen fall in love with you... and become inseparable from you... A woman, for the one she loves... can do anything..."
"Live well..."
Her hands dropped limply.
"Mom!" Lin Jiayou hugged her cold body and cried loudly.
On the other side, Zhao Qingzhi had already died.
She came with the determination to die.
Rather than dragging a sick body and struggling in endless pain and hatred, it would be better to drag Lin Xingyao to death together and put an end to it all.
Lin Jingchuan knelt between the two corpses and closed his eyes in pain.
Back then, a midwife's greed ruined them, and they, in turn, destroyed the entire Prince Yong's Mansion with their own hands.
Inside the bedroom, Princess Yong, who was originally fast asleep, seemed to have sensed something. She suddenly woke up and ran out barefoot.
When she pushed open the door and saw the pool of blood in the courtyard and Lin Xingyao lying motionless in the pool of blood, she let out a shrill scream.
She staggered out and ran towards the depths of the palace, shouting something incoherently, looking even crazier than before.
Zhenguogong Mansion
Chu Ruohan had just finished dinner and was sitting under the window.
Haitang almost broke through the door curtain and rushed in, her face full of panic, and she even forgot to show her courtesy.
"Madam, Madam!" She gasped, her voice trembling, "Something big happened in Prince Yong's Mansion!"
Chu Ruohan raised her eyes, "What's wrong?"
Haitang finally managed to catch her breath and said hurriedly, "The Crown Prince's Consort and that Princess from Prince Yong's Mansion are both dead!"
Chu Ruohan's hand holding the teacup paused in the air for a moment, then she brought it to her lips as if nothing had happened and gently blew away the foam.
"Tell me more carefully."
"I heard it was the Crown Prince's Consort Zhao Qingzhi. She went mad for some reason, broke into Princess Yong's bedroom with a knife, and killed Lin Xingyao!" Haitang's voice was fast and urgent. "Then, she committed suicide on the spot!"
Seeing Chu Ruohan's calm expression, she quickly added, "The Zhao family got the news, and Old Lord Feng and Madam Zhao fainted on the spot. Our Young Master Chu and Madam Chu have already rushed back to the Zhao family!"
Chu Ruohan then frowned.
"Go to the warehouse and get some high-quality ginseng and bird's nests, and then send someone to ask Doctor Qian to go to the Zhao family."
She put down the teacup and ordered in a deep voice, "Just tell them that it was me who said it. Make sure to have a good look at the young lady. Qinghan is still pregnant, and this is a critical time. You must not disturb the fetus."
"Yes, I'll go right away!"
Haitang responded, turned around to leave, then seemed to remember something and turned back suddenly.
"Oh, Madam, there's one more thing. I heard that Princess Yong saw that scene with her own eyes and couldn't bear the shock. She went completely crazy."
"Crazy?"
"Yes." Haitang nodded vigorously. "The servants in the palace said that she rushed out of the palace, her clothes disheveled, and ran around the streets, grabbing everyone she saw and shouting that her daughter was dead. Then she started talking nonsense that no one could understand, like a mad woman."
Chu Ruohan waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
The room was quiet again, the candlelight flickered gently, casting her shadow on the wall.
Crazy, dead.
In her previous life, she died too early. She had no idea what happened to Prince Yong's Mansion or what happened to Lin Xingyao.
She remembered what Gu Chengyan had said. He said that it was not his intention to give her to that beast Wei Qiming.
It’s Lin Xingyao.
It was Lin Xingyao who took advantage of him and facilitated that dirty deal.
In her previous life, she died unwillingly due to humiliation...
And now, Lin Xingyao has harmed herself because of jealousy.
He also died from Zhao Qingzhi's jealousy and hatred.
It's really a retribution.
