Chapter 37 Peach Blossom Heroine
Back at the palace, Yun Que anxiously pulled Qin Jinzhi toward the study.
"Hibari, what are you doing?"
Yun Que stubbornly pulled Qin Jinzhi toward the study.
As soon as she entered the study, Lark went straight to the bookshelf.
I carefully took a box off.
She opened the box and took out a scroll.
Some people were impatient and opened it.
That's a portrait.
A portrait of Qin Ziyi.
Qin Jinzhi's father.
Yun Que hung the portrait on the bookshelf and then pulled Qin Jinzhi to the side of the portrait.
She pointed to the eyes in the portrait, then to Qin Jinzhi's eyes.
Qin Jinzhi finally understood what she was trying to say.
"Are you trying to say that because my eyes look like my father's, I must be his child?"
The lark nodded repeatedly.
Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly, "Of course I know I am my father's child."
She calmly walked to the side of the bookshelf and took out a scroll from another box.
"My grandmother always said that my grandmother was a great beauty when she was young. My father was lucky to have inherited my grandmother's looks. If he had inherited my grandfather's looks, he wouldn't have been able to find a wife."
Qin Jinzhi opened the scroll, which showed a dignified woman.
His facial features are very similar to Qin Ziyi's; they are clearly mother and son.
"Compared to my father, my eyes are actually more like my grandmother's."
Qin Jinzhi looks almost exactly like her mother, except for her eyes, which are very much like those of the Qin family—heroic and sharp.
Choi Tzu-yu's biggest mistake was her arrogance, and her treating her like a naive child.
Therefore, he was restrained and became her pawn.
The purpose of confusing the Qin family's bloodline was not to appeal to her emotions, but to disrupt the morale of the Zhenbei Army.
Unfortunately, Choi Tzu-yu wasn't ruthless enough and couldn't bear to leave her mother.
However, if it weren't for Cui Ziyu, Prime Minister Cui wouldn't have been so easily confined to his quarters.
If one day, Prime Minister Cui, who can manipulate events in the court, finds out that his good younger brother is disregarding the family for a woman, will he be furious?
After all, it was his idea to seduce the Crown Prince's wife.
Seeing Yun Que's relieved expression, Qin Jinzhi patted her shoulder and said, "I will have Liu Yiyi cure your throat. Liu Yiyi is a very good doctor, and I trust her."
Qin Jinzhi named Yun Que this because Yun Que's voice was very beautiful.
Because they couldn't reveal their identities, the four of them could only serve as Qin Jinzhi's bodyguards at first.
It wasn't until Qin Jinzhi was poisoned that the four of them were brought into the open by Qin Jinzhi.
Since so many people want her dead, let's have a fight and see who goes to hell.
The lark, however, seemed unconcerned, gesturing with his hands.
It doesn't matter if you don't speak as long as you're by the princess's side.
"Let's go back and rest. Tomorrow, the princess will take you to a nice place."
The next day, the whole capital was abuzz with the news that Pei Jinnian had broken off his engagement with Cui Ying and was asking the Emperor for Qin Jinzhi in marriage.
Miss Cui was heartbroken, and her health, which had just begun to improve, was severely damaged again, causing her to fall ill and never recover.
"Miss! You can't go out today! If the Prime Minister finds out, he'll definitely punish me!"
"Huan'er, don't worry, I will definitely be back before dawn. Father has already come to see me today and won't be coming again."
Huan'er looked at Cui Ying, who was putting on her night clothes, with a tearful expression.
"Miss, please take me with you. I'm worried about leaving you alone!"
Cui Ying clicked her tongue, "What are you worried about? Your young lady is highly skilled in martial arts! Besides, how can I uphold justice with you by my side? Am I going to throw you as a weapon when I'm fighting someone?"
Huan'er pouted, "Then Miss, you must come back soon!"
Cui Ying pulled a sword out from under the bed. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door and tiptoed over the wall to get out.
Cui Ying lightly touched the ground with her toes and arrived outside Tianxiang Tower.
I heard that Shen Huan, the grandson of the Duke of Shen, bullied men and women, and forcibly took a woman into his mansion. When the woman's parents went to the yamen to complain, they were beaten and thrown out.
Having nowhere to turn for help, he hanged himself at the entrance of the government office.
She had someone find out that Shen Huan would be going to Tianxiang Tower with his cronies for fun today.
Since no one can stand up for those parents, Cui Ying will act on behalf of Heaven!
Having located Shen Huan's private room, Cui Ying took out a sleeping powder and blew it in through a small hole in the window.
After waiting for half an incense stick's time, thinking that the person had already fainted, he pushed open the window and climbed in.
The room was brightly lit, but there was no sign of Shen Huan and his accomplices in their revelry.
"Who is the Peach Blossom Heroine looking for?"
Cui Ying suddenly turned around and looked at a person sitting behind the curtain.
Oh no, there's an ambush!
Cui Ying was about to escape through the window.
Suddenly, two very handsome guards appeared by the window.
Cui Ying turned and ran towards the door.
Two handsome guards also appeared at the entrance.
Seeing that the exits were blocked, Cui Ying drew her sword and was about to break out.
With just one move, he subdued the man and pinned him to the table.
Cui Ying struggled and said, "Let me go right now, or you'll be in big trouble."
"Be gentle, don't hurt this beautiful woman with her delicate skin."
Out of the corner of her eye, Cui Ying saw the person behind the curtain stand up, lift the curtain, and walk towards her.
"Are you Shen Huan's henchman? Let me tell you, release me immediately! I am a close friend of the Prime Minister's daughter. If you hurt me, you'll lose your head!"
The man chuckled softly after hearing this and stood next to Cui Ying.
"Long time no see, Miss Cui."
As he spoke, he ripped the black cloth off her face.
Cui Ying stared wide-eyed at the newcomer, "Qin Jinzhi!"
Qin Jinzhi sat down next to her. "It seems that the doctor who treated Miss Cui must be a miracle doctor. He can not only make bedridden people walk like the wind, but he can even fly over walls. I must see him when I have the chance."
She waved her hand, and the lark released the person.
Cui Ying covered her shoulder and stepped aside, watching her warily.
What are you doing here?
Qin Jinzhi was also holding a sketchbook in her hand.
"Peach Blossom Heroine, Miss Cui, you have such refined taste."
Cui Ying turned her face away, "I don't know what you're talking about?"
Qin Jinzhi threw the storybook onto the table. "If Prime Minister Cui knew that his proud eldest daughter was actually the righteous and chivalrous Peach Blossom Heroine, he wondered what he would think?"
Cui Ying immediately glared at Qin Jinzhi and said, "What is the princess doing? I have already broken off my engagement with Pei Jinnian. He almost killed me three years ago. What, do you want to do it again?"
Qin Jinzhi wasn't angry at all. Instead, she looked at her with a smile and said, "Look, now that's what a living person looks like. Miss Cui pretends to be so dull and boring every day. It's really an eyesore."
Cui Ying became even more wary upon hearing Qin Jinzhi's words. This Qin Jinzhi was a madwoman who didn't play by the rules.
"Now that Pei Jinnian has abandoned the friendship between our two families and asked His Majesty for a marriage decree, you should be satisfied. Why do you still want to make me unhappy? My guards are waiting for me downstairs. If something happens to me, does the princess want to be banished from the capital again?"
Qin Jinzhi stood up, dressed in men's clothing, her face free of makeup, exuding a heroic spirit.
She curled her lips into a smile like a charming gentleman, "Miss Cui is so unreasonable. Shouldn't you be the one who gets what you want?"
Cui Ying was taken aback, then snorted coldly, "I don't understand what you're saying!"
Qin Jinzhi stepped forward and said, "If I hadn't thrown you into the water, how could you have pretended to be sick and avoided this marriage for the past three years?"
Cui Ying was startled; how did she know that she had been faking illness for the past three years?
Qin Jinzhi smiled, clapped her hands, and an old man walked out from behind the curtain.
Cui Ying immediately exclaimed, "Doctor Chu! What are you doing here?"
Chu Shan walked up to Qin Jinzhi and said, "This humble one greets the Princess."
Cui Ying couldn't believe it, "You're Qin Jinzhi's man!"
