Jiang Yan groaned, clutching the back of his neck as he abruptly turned around.
"you……"
Qiu Jie gripped the dagger tightly with both hands. He turned around and she fell to the ground. The dagger twisted in her wound for a moment before being pulled out by the momentum.
Without the blade to seal it, blood gushed from the wound, splattering onto the pale blue wall and slowly flowing down.
Jiang Yan collapsed to the ground. One hand clutched his bleeding neck, while the other trembled as he reached for the metal rod at his waist.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Jie quickly scrambled to her feet and snatched the metal rod from her hand, saying, "My blood can't open this door, and you absolutely cannot cure Chu Yi. If you cure him, he will reveal everything and ruin my plans."
She took a few steps back and saw Jiang Yan's body slowly slump over, the pool of blood beneath him gradually expanding. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and turn back to Chu Yi.
“Seventh Prince, you don’t understand me at all,” she said, sheathing the dagger in her mask and looking at Chu Yi. “If you can kill Wei Jingzhuo, I won’t give you poisoned wine, but a celebratory drink.”
"Emperor Kangping was unwilling to deploy the Shenji Cannon to attack Wei Jingzhuo, so I killed him."
“Wei Shao was unwilling to hand over his army to you, so I killed him too.”
“I thought I could rely on you and help you get the army. But you refused to continue the attack and kept retreating... I know that the person you love is actually Su Wan. She is beautiful and kind... I am ugly and cruel.”
As she spoke, Qiu Jie turned around: "None of you can help me, you'll only block my way. Whether it's Wei Shao, you, or the Emperor... Since you can't help me get revenge either, then stay here and rot with the head of the family of divine healers."
She went to the door and took out the resurrection pendant that was embedded in the recess of the doorway.
She concealed the metal rod on her person, carefully checked that she was not stained with blood, and then walked out the door. The door to the examination room slowly closed behind her.
The resurrection pendant is not only proof of the goddess's existence, but also the key to unlocking the clinic.
Without the Life-Restoring Pendant, the door to the consultation room cannot be opened from the outside, and others will not discover the secret inside, allowing her to continue using her identity as a goddess.
Outside the bathroom, she changed back into her original clothes. Jiang Wenpei was waiting outside. Seeing her come out, he stepped forward and asked, "Didn't the head of the family come out with you?"
“He is treating the Seventh Prince in the clinic,” Qiu Jie said. “The head of the family has agreed to help me take revenge. He said you can provide assistance and told me to come out and find you.”
Jiang Wenpei said, "That is indeed what the patriarch ordered. But now that the Southern Chu army is not led by the Seventh Prince, how can it fight against the Great Jin army?"
Qiu Jie said, "Let's go see the Emperor of Southern Chu."
