Chapter 164 Sending Someone Away
Liu Yiyi was already impatient.
She handed him a porcelain bottle.
Cui Ziyu calmly swallowed the pill inside.
Then he began to convulse, foam at the mouth, and all his blood vessels bulged.
His body trembled uncontrollably.
Liu Yiyi took Cui Ziyu's pulse and frowned.
Then he wrote and drew in the notebook.
About half an hour later, Liu Yiyi put a pill into Cui Ziyu's mouth.
"This time there has been a slight improvement. The reaction is not as severe. I just took his pulse and it seems that the toxins have decreased a bit. I will go back and refine the prescription, and try it again next month."
Qin Jinzhi was nodding when she saw Cui Ziyu struggle to get up.
"Miaoyin, are you alright?"
Qin Jinzhi said with great admiration, "Lord Cui is truly a romantic. Even in his current state, he still thinks of your beautiful voice. If I didn't have to take revenge on you, I would almost be moved by your love."
Cui Ziyu bowed respectfully.
“Princess, I have been in love with Miaoyin ever since I first saw her when I was sixteen.”
Unfortunately, my family destined me to never marry Miaoyin, and it was my cowardice that led her to marry someone else.
So when my brother came up with this absurd idea, I inexplicably agreed.
I love her, so I am willing to give my life for her. Miaoyin is a woman who was born for love. She loves me, so I will live on forever.
I have wronged Prince Qin, I have wronged you, so I will bear all your revenge. I only ask that you let Miaoyin live.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and applauded Cui Ziyu, "You are much more sincere than that Prime Minister Cui. Don't worry, as I said, as long as you are useful to me, I will definitely let Yao Miaoyin live. How long you two can stay together depends on Lord Cui."
Cui Ziyu swallowed the blood in his throat again. "I understand."
As the carriage left the Cui residence, Liu Yiyi continued to peruse ancient books.
"How have you been at the Imperial Hospital these past few days?"
Liu Yiyi didn't look up. "That's how it is. We'll keep to ourselves. Don't worry, I'll take advantage of my power when necessary. After all, no one has a stronger backer than me."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and asked, "How are Ajiao and Aman's injuries?"
Liu Yiyi looked up and gave a thumbs up, "Ajiao and Aman's body tempering techniques are really not for nothing! There was so much blood on them, but it turned out it wasn't theirs, just minor injuries!"
Qin Jinzhi said, "In that case, let's go take a look together."
Hu Ajiao and Hu Aman lived in Qianniaosi.
When Qin Jinzhi arrived, the two sisters were applying medicine to each other.
Seeing that no one was around, Hu Aman called out with a grin, "Old Qin, you're here."
Qin Jinzhi sat down at the table. "How's your injury?"
Hu Aman turned her back directly, saying, "It's a minor injury. I was more seriously injured in Cangzhou than this."
Hu Ajiao stepped forward and said, "Jinzhi, this time it was our sisters who dragged you down. You have a lot of potential and many things waiting for you to do. If it happens again, don't worry about us."
Hu Aman nodded and said, "That's right!"
Qin Jinzhi stood up and slapped each of them on the head.
"When a person dies, everything is gone. Remember to call for help next time something like this happens!"
Hu Ajiao and Hu Aman covered their heads and said, "I know!"
Qin Jinzhi raised her chin. "What's the situation with Wei Xueqi?"
Hu Aman immediately said, "This matter should have nothing to do with her, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the Prince's Mansion to ask you to save us. But her uncle..."
Qin Jinzhi looked at her and said, "The He Qi who had his head chopped off at Hechun Terrace last time was the son of He Lianghan, the Minister of Rites. Wei Xueqi's uncle was his subordinate, and he probably knew something about the situation and wanted to use you to curry favor with He Lianghan."
Below the Minister of Rites is the Vice Minister of Rites.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites was a subordinate of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
The position of Vice Minister of Rites has been vacant for a long time, and Wei Qianfan probably wants to take this opportunity to move up in rank.
Qin Jinzhi recalled what Hu Aman had said before: Wei Xueqi's mother was the leader of the Cangzhou Canal Gang, and she was so ambitious that she called herself the Dragon Mother. How could she have a brother who was an official in the court?
Hu Aman was also very puzzled. "Xueqi said she came to the capital to find her relatives, but I didn't ask her in detail. I didn't expect that her uncle was on the opposing side."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "You suffered such a huge loss and didn't even go to their door to complain. That's not like you at all."
Hu Aman said proudly, "I'm so smart! For such a big matter, how much favor can I ask for from Chief Wei? Think about it, there are so many people at Baique Temple. Going down the mountain will definitely attract attention. But going by water is different. Chief Wei is very capable. He can send people to the capital without anyone noticing!"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Hu Aman in disbelief, "Are you Aman?"
Hu Aman thumped his chest, "It's the real deal!"
The three of them burst into laughter.
Ah Man is right. If we want to send everyone from Baique Temple to the capital without anyone noticing, we really have to go by water.
If I have the chance, I really should meet Wei Longmu.
However, since Wei Qianfan dared to make a move on her, even if she couldn't kill him, he would still have to pay the price.
Since you want to change your official position, moving it downwards is still a change.
Liu Yiyi examined the injuries of the two people, and Qin Jinzhi did not leave Qianniaosi until very late.
The next day, Qin Jinzhi was finally able to attend court after a long absence.
Not only did she attend court, but she was also accompanied by eight Thousand Bird Guards.
This was the first Thousand Bird Guard that she had specially trained to enter the palace.
Responsible for providing close protection to His Majesty.
She was the only one there before because she hadn't finished training.
Eight guards stood in turn beside the emperor.
Du Zhong immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is outrageous!"
Wei Cha squinted, "Why are you such a persistent ghost? What does His Majesty want to do? Who gives you the right to tell him?"
Du Zhong ignored Wei Cha and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Jinzhi's attendance at court a few days ago was already against ancestral rules. Now she's bringing so many women to court. It's like a hen crowing at dawn!"
Wei Cha leaned closer to him, "Have you gone deaf from anger, old man? Why aren't you answering?"
Du Zhong angrily pointed at Wei Cha and cursed, "You old bastard, stop your nonsense! I'm discussing important matters with His Majesty, and I don't have time to argue with you!"
Wei Cha looked at him leisurely, "So angry, did someone in your family die?"
Du Zhong turned his face away; he always ended up at a disadvantage!
Wei Cha said slowly, "Princess Jinzhi, this old minister asks you! What are the identities of these people, and why are they able to enter the main hall so openly?"
Qin Jinzhi spoke up, "These eight men are the best of the Thousand Bird Guards, responsible for His Majesty's personal protection. May I ask, Lord Wei, if they are to provide personal protection but not enter the palace, where will these eight men stand?"
Wei Cha raised an eyebrow. "Did you hear that, Minister Du? Protecting His Majesty's safety! I really don't have time to mess around with you!"
