Chapter 364 Three Months
Qin Jinzhi visited Lang Mingyue at the Lang residence.
Liu Yiyi had received Qin Jinzhi's message and rushed over to treat her injuries.
Qin Jinzhi walked to her bedside. "How are your injuries?"
As Liu Yiyi put away the needles, she said, "Her injury did not involve the bone. After resting for more than a month, she can recover completely by applying the ointment I developed."
Then she stood up and pulled Qin Jinzhi aside, whispering, "But her body was already at its limit; after this incident, I'm afraid her health will be..."
Qin Jinzhi's expression was cold. "How much longer can she live?"
Liu Yiyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Three months."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "I understand."
It was already evening when Lang Mingyue opened her eyes.
The maidservant beside her quickly called out, "Miss is awake!"
After examining Lang Mingyue, Liu Yiyi said, "You need to rest and recuperate these days. I will come to your residence regularly to treat you."
Lang Mingyue saw her family gathered around the bed and Qin Jinzhi behind them.
She smiled and said, "Father, Mother, Brother, I'd like to speak with the princess alone for a few minutes. Please go out first."
Upon hearing this, Lang Qingfeng got up and helped his tearful mother out.
Lang Xuan bowed to Qin Jinzhi and then left.
The door was closed.
Qin Jinzhi sat down on the stool next to her bed.
Lang Mingyue's face was deathly pale, and she gave a weak smile, "How much longer can I live?"
Qin Jinzhi looked calmly into her eyes. "Three months."
Lang Mingyue smiled with some relief, "Not bad."
Qin Jinzhi remained silent for a moment before asking, "Is there anything else you wish for?"
Lang Mingyue looked at Qin Jinzhi, "Princess, how many young ladies do you think will be willing to enroll in the White Crane Academy next year?"
Qin Jinzhi looked at Lang Mingyue, a question she herself could not answer.
Lang Mingyue's smile grew even brighter. "Princess, I hope that after my death, the White Crane Academy can continue to be passed down. This is my only wish."
Qin Jinzhi looked at her and said, "Take good care of yourself, and I will do as you wish."
Lang Mingyue struggled to sit up and leaned against the bedside. “Princess, there is no need to blame yourself. I thought of this day from the day I decided to serve you. I know my own body. I am a cripple. Even without this incident, I would not have lived for long. Princess, the path you have chosen is destined to be full of bloodshed and separation. There is no need to care about my departure.”
Qin Jinzhi looked at Lang Mingyue and chuckled, "You're quite carefree."
Lang Mingyue's face showed a lot more relief. "I have lived half my life in deception and illusion. Before I die, I have been able to fulfill what I have always wanted. I have no regrets."
She looked at Qin Jinzhi with a determined expression, "Princess, please, you must live well."
A woman whose soul was forcibly killed in order to be shackled by this world.
For the people who are struggling in misery.
Live well.
If only one person could truly save them from their predicament.
Lang Mingyue was willing to believe that this person was Qin Jinzhi.
Even if everything she does has its own purpose.
Oh, you're so kind; you judge people by their actions, not their intentions.
Everyone has their own purposes.
But some people are willing to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people.
But some people pulled the people out of the mire.
Qin Jinzhi smiled, got up and left the Lang residence.
Liu Yiyi returned to the Prince's Mansion with Qin Jinzhi.
Then he had a servant carry a huge box into Qin Jinzhi's courtyard.
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow at the box. "Making tools again?"
Liu Yiyi waved her hand, squatted down in front of the box, and opened it.
"These are all poisons I developed. I've written down their effects and names. Things aren't very peaceful in the capital lately, so you should carry some medicine with you."
Qin Jinzhi squatted down next to her, "Professor Liu is quite perceptive these days."
Liu Yiyi shrugged proudly, "Of course!"
The people who have been involved in recent incidents are all related to Qin Jinzhi, which means that someone is trying to harm her.
She raised her delicate fingers and pinched Qin Jinzhi's pulse.
"This heart-protecting pill works well. I'll make you some more tomorrow. You must take it every day without fail."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "I understand, Dean Liu."
Liu Yiyi feigned coyness and said, "I already said it's a deputy position."
At this moment, Yun Jin walked over.
"Princess, a letter just arrived from the Pei family, saying that the servant's parents have been sent to the Thousand Birds Bureau by the Pei family."
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "I understand."
As night fell, the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was quiet.
But in another place, the lights were on.
Pei Jinnian looked at Keming in the prison with a gentle expression.
“Kemin, you have served me for many years and we grew up together. I can’t bear to torture you. Tell me everything you know so that I won’t be in a difficult position.”
Kemin knelt before the prison gate, wailing, "Young Master! The horse really spooked! What else do you want me to say! I really don't know what you're talking about! Why are you helping the princess? Aren't you the one who hates her the most? Young Master, please save me!"
Pei Jinnian sighed, got up and walked to the prison door.
"Kemin, how many years have you been staying in the Pei residence?"
Kemin immediately said, "Twenty-one years! I've been in the Pei family since I was born! I even grew up with you, young master, you must save me!"
Pei Jinnian looked down at Keming with an unprecedentedly cold expression.
"Twenty-one years, huh? I remember a few days ago, your parents just arranged your marriage. If this hadn't happened, they would have been able to hold their grandchild soon. They're both getting old. If they knew about your accident, they might be shocked and something might happen to them. Kemin, what do you think?"
Keming was startled by the coldness in Pei Jinnian's eyes.
"Young Master!"
The young master actually threatened him with his parents' lives!
Pei Jinnian slowly squatted down in front of Keming. "Keming, if I could, I would also like to save your life, but you are too ignorant. My Pei family only gained a foothold in the capital because of the princess. You killed her people, how could I let you live?"
Kemin felt a chill run down his spine; this was a young master he had never seen before.
"Clear breeze and bright moon" seems to be a phrase tailor-made for Pei Jinnian.
It would never have turned out this way.
Pei Jinnian reached his hand behind Keming's head.
He looked at Kemin and said, "Who ordered you to kill that actor? Tell me everything you know, and your parents can enjoy their old age in the Pei family. I will not let you suffer."
Kemin's eyes widened. "Young Master, my parents have nothing to do with this. They are also servants of the Pei family, working hard and dutifully in the household. They watched you grow up, Young Master!"
Pei Jinnian slowly asked, "So why do you want to do this?"
Keming trembled slightly as he listened to Pei Jinnian's cold voice and said, "Young...Young Master, that actor has a close relationship with the princess. This...this is a slap in your face! I...I'm doing this for you, Young Master!"
Pei Jinnian smiled, and the moonlight from outside the window shone through the fence onto her face.
"Kemin, I don't have much patience left."
