Chapter 38 Cui Ying Lives to Be a Hundred
Cui Ying was a model of noble ladies in the capital from a young age.
He was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and could compose poems and songs with ease.
Her looks were beyond compare; the Cui family of Qinghe is known for producing beauties.
She grew up according to the standards of a noblewoman from a prominent family.
Silent and dignified, uninteresting yet polite.
After she came of age, she became engaged to the son of the Pei family in Hedong.
Her father was the head of the civil service and held immense power.
Her future husband is predicted to be the youngest person to be appointed prime minister.
She will become the most esteemed matriarch of the aristocratic family in the future.
Many noble ladies envied her life.
But none of these are what she wants.
She wanted to be a person, a living, breathing person.
It's not a glamorous decorative piece.
She wanted to think for herself and to be independent.
She doesn't want to be confined to a framework in every word and action.
She didn't want to marry a man she had never met.
She wanted to cry, laugh, be angry, and feel sad.
She can think what she wants.
But for her, it was all just empty talk.
She secretly learned martial arts behind everyone's back.
Secretly be the hero of your dreams at night.
The people who received her help called her the Peach Blossom Heroine.
Because she always left behind a large number of peach blossoms.
This was her personal desire; she wanted to leave behind some traces that truly belonged to her, Cui Ying.
The most rebellious thing she ever did was to deliberately provoke Qin Jinzhi so that Qin Jinzhi would push her into the water.
In front of everyone, she almost lost her life, but it also allowed her to steal three years of time.
Qin Jinzhi looked at Cui Ying's shocked expression and laughed, "Doctor Chu's ancestors were also imperial physicians, and his medical skills are superb. Do you really think he can't see that your weakness is caused by taking a secret medicine?"
Three years ago, she had someone search for a medicine that could make a person's pulse weak and their whole being look feeble.
She actually found it; as soon as you eat it, you feel like you're seriously ill within an hour.
An hour later, the person will be able to jump around and be as good as new.
After Qin Jinzhi threw her into the water, she did indeed fall ill.
He recovered after drinking the bitter herbal soup for three days.
However, this also gave her a good opportunity to feign illness.
If someone suddenly falls seriously ill, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Prime Minister Cui consulted many famous doctors, and the final conclusion was that his weakness was caused by almost drowning and being frightened, and he could only recover slowly.
Later, my father sent someone to invite Doctor Chu, who was said to be a famous doctor in the Huainan area.
Just when she thought she was about to be exposed, Doctor Chu told Prime Minister Cui.
Miss Cui's health has been severely damaged, and she may have difficulty having children in the future. If she does not receive careful treatment, she may not even be able to save her life.
If a woman has difficulty conceiving, she will surely be mistreated in her husband's family.
Prime Minister Cui felt sorry for his daughter and left Doctor Chu to treat Cui Ying.
Chu Xingsheng walked up to Qin Jinzhi and said, "Princess, I have been staying in the Prime Minister's residence for three years as instructed. What about the things you promised me?"
Qin Jinzhi tossed him a jade pendant, saying, "Come find me at the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion tomorrow."
Chu Xingsheng immediately said with a smile, "I'll take my leave."
Cui Ying felt increasingly unable to understand Qin Jinzhi. "What exactly do you want to do?"
Seeing her puffed-up face, Qin Jinzhi's teasing intentions intensified. "I had Doctor Chu put a kind of poison in the white fungus soup you eat every day. Just a little bit every day can make someone die silently. Have you been waking up in the middle of the night often lately, coughing, and feeling like ants are crawling in your throat?"
Cui Ying's eyes widened as she covered her neck, "You!"
Qin Jinzhi's words were like a trigger for the poison to take effect, and Cui Ying felt her body start to itch.
"You are so vicious, you still won't let me go after three years!"
Qin Jinzhi sat down to the side, propped her chin on one hand, and looked at her with her head tilted. "However, if you kneel down and beg me, I might consider giving you the antidote."
Cui Ying looked at Qin Jinzhi with a resolute expression, "I am a woman of the first clan, the Cui clan. How dare you, a viper like you, make me bow down? Since you want me dead, then you will be buried with me!"
She quickly drew her sword and stabbed at Qin Jinzhi.
Yun Que and the others immediately stepped forward to protect Qin Jinzhi.
Unexpectedly, Cui Ying did a somersault and ran towards the window.
What a joke! Her father is the prime minister. If she's poisoned, she can just find someone to cure her. Qin Jinzhi is a madwoman; who would fight her?
Let her die; Cui Ying can live to be a hundred.
As long as she escapes from here, Qin Jinzhi can't possibly go to the Prime Minister to kill her!
Yun Que was about to give chase, but Qin Jinzhi stopped her.
Yun Jin, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Princess, aren't we going to chase after them?"
Qin Jinzhi calmly drank her tea. Just as the teacup was placed on the table, a dark shadow, as big as a bear, suddenly darted in through the window.
He was carrying someone on his shoulder.
Cui Ying asked, speechless, "Why are you bringing a bear with you when you go out?"
Does she really have to die here today?
Tu You threw Cui Ying to the ground, saying, "Greetings, Princess."
Qin Jinzhi pointed behind the curtain, "Strip all those people behind that curtain and hang them on the city gate."
Tu You went behind the curtain without hesitation.
Upon seeing the person, he immediately chuckled; it turned out to be this kid.
Tu You whistled out the window, and two more men who looked like soldiers jumped in.
The three men, one in each hand, led the unconscious Shen Huan and the others out of the window.
Despite his burly physique, Tu You is incredibly elusive, appearing and disappearing without a sound.
His footwork is incredibly skillful.
Cui Ying looked at Shen Huan, who was being dragged out like a dead pig, with even more confusion in her eyes.
"You're not with him?"
Qin Jinzhi asked Yun Jin to help Cui Ying up. "Come on, come with me somewhere."
As she spoke, she lifted her foot to leave the room.
Cui Ying quickly covered her face.
If people were to see the Prime Minister's eldest daughter in a brothel, that would be terrible.
Her father insisted on skinning her alive.
"What exactly do you want! I'm not going with you!"
Qin Jinzhi suddenly smiled with narrowed eyes, "If you don't behave, I'll throw you into the main hall right now. Guess what the storytellers in the teahouses of the capital will say tomorrow? 'The most noble lady in the capital sneaks into a brothel at night'?"
Cui Ying immediately said, "Didn't you say you were going somewhere? Why aren't we leaving yet?"
Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly and stepped out of the room.
Yun Jin grabbed Cui Ying's arm tightly, "Miss Cui, don't even think about running away, I hit really hard."
Cui Ying gritted her teeth. So what if he's highly skilled in martial arts!
When she returns to the manor, she will find ten or eight highly skilled martial artists to protect her!
Just as Cui Ying was extremely nervous about being seen, she discovered that the group hadn't actually passed through the lobby at all, but had instead taken another, hidden staircase.
Direct access to the back door.
The carriage from the Prince of Zhenbei's residence was waiting there.
Cui Ying said with an indescribable expression, "You come to a brothel and just leave your carriage here like this? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "In the capital, what is there for me, Qin Jinzhi, to fear?"
Cui Ying curled her lip. Hey, this big villain wasn't bragging after all.
Just then, Qin Jinzhi said, "It doesn't matter if others see it. This is my grandfather's carriage. If anyone is going to talk about it, it should be my grandfather."
Cui Ying looked at her as if she were a lunatic.
I've heard of people ruining their fathers' lives, but I've never heard of someone ruining their grandfather's.
Qin Ye sneezed in the study. What happened? Did his grandson miss him?
The carriage soon came to a stop.
Yun Jin's voice said, "Princess, we've arrived."
Lark quickly took a package out of the carriage's storage box.
Yun Jin and Yun Ge also got into the car.
The package was opened, and inside were all kinds of precious jewelry.
The four of them each took a few items and left the carriage.
Cui Ying was stunned for a moment, but Qin Jinzhi hadn't actually done anything to her so far.
Given her personality, if someone really wanted to kill her, why go through all this trouble?
However, Qin Jinzhi is crazy, so she should be careful and see what she's up to.
Cui Ying pulled back the carriage curtain and immediately widened her eyes.
The carriage stopped in front of the residence of Wei Xueyi, the prefect of Kyoto.
She felt even more uneasy as she watched Yun Que and the other three climb into the Wei residence.
Is Qin Jinzhi going to cause trouble again?
