Chapter 428 Jie Ning Dan
The Crown Prince looked at the last letter. Today, Qin Jinzhi passed away ostentatiously, dressed in a thousand-gold fur coat.
He placed the letter in front of Xiao Can.
"What can you interpret from this letter?"
Xiao Can took the letter. "A thousand pieces of gold? Isn't it too early?"
The prince couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"It's getting late, now is just right."
Xiao Can looked at the Crown Prince with a puzzled expression.
The prince stood up and turned to the bookshelf behind him.
Push open a hidden compartment.
He took a porcelain bottle out of it and placed it on the table.
Xiao Can asked, "Father, what is this?"
The Crown Prince looked at Xiao Can,
"Qin Jinzhi was poisoned by the Azure Poison, and she should have died long ago, but she actually found the Qu Lang Dan, which can suppress the cold poison for three years!"
If she hadn't been so pushy, I would have wanted her to live through those last three years, but she was relentlessly aggressive, so I, as her uncle, can't be blamed for it.
This is Jie Ning Dan, a tonic, but if someone who has taken Qu Lang Dan ingests it, it will turn into a deadly poison.
It's so potent it can kill instantly; even a sage couldn't save it.
Even her maids, who could draw the poison to themselves, couldn't save her!
Xiao Can looked at the Crown Prince, "Father, do you want to poison her?"
The Crown Prince looked at Xiao Can, "Can'er, what is my relationship with Qin Jinzhi? I am her father's killer! If she finds out before she dies that I was involved in the siege of her father, do you think she will let my lineage go?"
Xiao Can's face turned ugly. He and Xiao Piao had admired Qin Jinzhi since they were young.
Although they were not in the capital for the past ten years, they still knew about Qin Jinzhi's deeds.
After returning to the capital, I gained a deeper understanding.
Jinzhi is very smart, so smart that he has no doubt that she will find out the murderer who killed her father.
All the major families involved in the encirclement and suppression have fallen.
It's only a matter of time before the investigation leads back to his father.
If Jinzhi were poisoned, she would certainly die.
She will definitely drag all her enemies down to hell before she dies.
The Crown Prince walked up to Xiao Can and said, “Can’er, I have been planning for you Piao’er for so many years, I will never allow Qin Jinzhi to raise a knife against me.”
Xiao Can looked at the Crown Prince and said, "But Father, Jinzhi is surrounded by many experts. Grandfather and Grandmother often send people to keep an eye on Jinzhi, so we can't bring ourselves to do it."
The Crown Prince raised the porcelain bottle. "Who said we did it? People are never wary of those closest to them. Isn't there someone close to Qin Jinzhi in the Eastern Palace?"
Xiao Can looked at the Crown Prince in disbelief, “Father, Consort Shen is already pregnant with the Emperor’s child. If Jinzhi finds out, she will not let her off!”
The Crown Prince chuckled lightly, “Can’er, you must remember, I only have you and Piao’er as my heirs. Besides, that woman was sent over by Qin Jinzhi from the beginning, and I don’t care about her life or death at all.”
Xiao Can looked at his father's face, which seemed utterly unfamiliar.
Qin Jinzhi is now the target of public criticism in the capital.
Every move they make is being watched by those with ulterior motives.
The ostentatious passing of Qin Jinzhi today has led many to speculate that the rumors of her previous poisoning may indeed be true.
After finishing her shift, Qin Jinzhi returned to the Thousand Birds Division.
I ran into Cui Ying at the door, who was returning from her office.
Cui Ying, clutching her neck, said, "These past few days have been exhausting."
As soon as Qin Jinzhi dismounted, she heard a shout from behind:
"Third Brother?"
Qin Jinzhi turned around and saw Luo Chengzhi standing there in disbelief.
Cui Ying stepped out from behind her and said in surprise, "Chengzhi?"
Luo Chengzhi found it even harder to accept Cui Ying's expression, "Brother Ying?"
Qin Jinzhi didn't seem flustered at all about her identity being exposed.
"Keep up."
Luo Chengzhi watched Qin Jinzhi stride away towards Qianniao Sili and quickly followed.
He followed Qin Jinzhi to her office.
Qin Jinzhi sat down at the table and reviewed the official documents.
While reviewing the papers, he said, "Shouldn't you be in class at the Imperial Academy at this time? Why are you here?"
Luo Chengzhi said subconsciously, "I saw Third Brother on the street this morning."
He heard that the Princess Zhenguo of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was able to subdue Feng Chi at the young age of eighteen.
Now she holds multiple positions, making her a true legend.
He originally planned to visit his third brother a few days ago.
A letter was sent to the Prince of Zhenbei's residence.
Third Brother said he's been quite busy these past few days, but he'll come to see him in a few days.
Today, while he was buying books at the study, he heard that Princess Zhenguo was going to walk down the street.
He excitedly leaned over to look down.
When my gaze finally landed on the face of the person on horseback.
Luo Chengzhi froze on the spot.
Isn't that Third Brother?
He waited outside the Thousand Birds Temple for a whole day and finally saw his third brother.
It turns out he really wasn't mistaken.
Third Brother is a woman!
Qin Jinzhi didn't look up. "Seeing that Third Brother was dressed as a woman, I thought I'd confirm his identity?"
Luo Chengzhi nodded slowly.
Qin Jinzhi's pen moved quickly, "Is my gender identity worth you having to interrupt your studies to confirm?"
Luo Chengzhi could tell from Qin Jinzhi's tone that she was angry.
"Third brother, third brother, I just want to know why you kept this from me."
He really didn't know what to call him now.
Third brother, why did the princess dress as a man and keep him in the dark?
Qin Jinzhi's gaze remained fixed on him. "My identity would put you and Boss Luo in danger, so I've always disguised myself as a man when I met you. What else do you want to ask?"
Luo Chengzhi murmured, "Then you and Mother should have told me too."
Qin Jinzhi sneered, "Luo Chengzhi, your mother and I have done everything we can to give you the best conditions for your studies, yet you haven't been to the Imperial Academy for a single day because of something so insignificant. Do you think your talent is enough to make up for all the time you've wasted, or do you think you're smarter than those students who have studied hard for years?"
Luo Chengzhi quickly said, "Third Brother, don't be angry, I just... I just..."
Qin Jinzhi looked at him coldly, "Go back to class and submit an apology letter to your teacher tomorrow."
Luo Chengzhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then turned and left.
Watching Luo Chengzhi run away, Cui Ying walked in and said, "He was too shocked. Don't be angry with him. Look, he's quite obedient."
Qin Jinzhi's complexion had returned to normal. "I'm not angry. I just haven't figured out how to explain it to him yet. I'll just try to intimidate him while he's still young."
Cui Ying's eyes widened, then she looked speechless. "You're so mean."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Send a letter to Boss Luo and ask her to explain."
Cui Ying took a letter out of her sleeve and handed it to her.
"The letter from the Crown Prince was delivered to you personally through Chidori-no-Tsukasa."
Qin Jinzhi took the letter and opened it.
He then put the letter aside.
Just as Cui Ying was about to leave, she suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, my mother asked me to tell you that if you have time, please go to Baihe Academy."
