She didn't even plunge the dagger into Prince Rui's chest with her own hands, so as to end his life directly.
This made her hate it!
To avenge her sister, she endured years of hardship, even sacrificing her chastity, and finally found an opportunity. However, because she was not strong enough, she was unable to end his life with her own hands.
This made her feel resentful.
Therefore, even though she had stopped breathing, she kept her eyes open, staring intently in the direction of Prince Rui.
It seemed as if they wanted to watch Prince Rui die with their own eyes.
She believed that justice would prevail and that a villain like Prince Rui would surely receive the punishment he deserved.
Qinglian rushed over in a hurry, and when she saw the miserable state of Prince Rui, she was so frightened that she gasped.
Soon, news of Prince Rui's disappearance, assassination attempt, and critical condition spread throughout the entire capital.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Rui was carried into the palace covered in blood.
Consort Hui and Emperor Rongcheng rushed over immediately upon hearing the news.
At this moment, all the imperial physicians were in a panic.
As soon as Consort Hui entered, she saw the miserable state of Prince Rui, screamed in fright, felt dizzy, and lost consciousness.
Inside the East Palace.
Gu Jingchun felt it was a pity that Prince Rui had been rescued.
When she heard about Qin Mulan's tragic situation from Lanxin, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Such a stunningly talented woman died such a tragic death.
"Qin Mulan".
Gu Jingchun chewed on her name and sighed.
"Just from her name, one can tell she must have been a woman of great intelligence and virtue. What a pity."
Seeing that Gu Jingchun was upset, Lanxin explained:
“Miss, you don’t need to feel sorry for Miss Mulan.”
"You are unaware of what has happened to you, but killing Prince Rui with your own hands has been Miss Mulan's wish for many years."
Lan Xin's voice choked up as she spoke:
"This Miss Mulan was originally an ordinary female worker in our business."
"She is beautiful, but also down-to-earth and capable, so she is highly regarded by the manager, who originally intended to promote her to the position of manager."
But she has a younger sister who is three years younger than her. She is only twelve years old now and is very cute and charming, especially fond of embroidery.
Therefore, Miss Mulan thought she should work more and save more money so she could send her younger sister to do embroidery.
"However, after she sent her younger sister to the embroidery workshop to learn embroidery, she found that her sister's temperament became more and more sullen every day."
She asked her, but she wouldn't say. Later, her sister simply disappeared.
"She couldn't find her sister anywhere, so she went to the shopkeeper for help."
"The shopkeeper then informed Young Master Wenxi."
"After learning about this, Young Master Wenxi immediately sent people to investigate, and that's how they found her sister's body in the mass grave."
Lan Xin sighed as she finished speaking, her voice becoming heavy with sorrow.
"It turns out that her younger sister came in because she was good at embroidery, so her master took her to the Prince Rui's mansion to finish her work."
"This was originally a very ordinary thing, but she was chosen by Prince Rui."
“Who is Prince Rui? He wouldn’t easily let go of someone he has set his sights on, so he disregarded her refusal and forcibly took her.”
"But she's only a twelve-year-old child."
After the incident, knowing their identities, she dared not confront Prince Rui, and endured it all in silence, only obeying his orders to visit his residence every few days.
"And because she missed one of her visits, Prince Rui caught her, tortured her severely, and then beat her to death."
"After learning what had happened, Miss Mulan wept bitterly and vowed to avenge her sister."
But having exhausted all other options, they pleaded desperately with Young Master Wenxi.
"Young Master Wenxi tried to persuade her several times, but later he found out that she dared to follow Prince Rui's carriage alone, so he agreed to help her."
"Later, he arranged for Miss Mulan to stay at Tianxiang Pavilion and wait for her opportunity."
"After Young Master Wenxi learned of your plan, he told Miss Mulan about it."
"Miss Mulan immediately took part in the scheme and arranged all of this."
Lan Xin's eyes were already brimming with tears after she finished speaking.
Seeing that Gu Jingchun's eyes were red, she continued:
"Miss Mulan is determined to die this time. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, she has even applied poison to her private parts. Anyone who touches her will slowly rot and die."
It's just a pity that before Prince Rui could even touch her, he…
Lan Xin hesitated for a moment, then Gu Jingchun said:
"In this world, it is already much harder for women to live than for men, yet these men still want to take everything away from women."
Gu Jingchun stood up, his face hardening.
"Reassure her that I will definitely find a chance to avenge her and her sister."
Lanxin nodded and continued.
"However, although she did not completely kill Prince Rui this time, she still cut off one of his fingers before she died."
Lanxin couldn't help but feel proud as she said this.
"Without his fingers, he would have no chance of becoming the crown prince."
Gu Jingchun nodded, but felt no satisfaction whatsoever.
The result, forged with Qin Mulan's blood, is nothing short of heartbreaking.
She knew this matter wouldn't end so easily, so she immediately gave the following instructions:
"Make everyone vigilant and make sure to clean up all the mess."
This time, instead of killing them outright, we alerted the enemy, which will likely provoke Consort Hui's furious revenge. This serves as a wake-up call to prevent her from resorting to desperate measures.
Lan Xin nodded, and then Gu Jingchun continued, "We should also arrange more people around Xi'er. Now is the time."
"It's time to reveal his identity to the public."
Consort Hui, I'll make you understand the price you pay for daring to touch my son.
The assassination attempt on Prince Rui, in which he was not only seriously injured but also had a finger cut off, immediately caused a huge uproar in the court.
This led to a heated debate in the imperial court.
Gu Wei'ang also became the target of public criticism.
After all, the incident happened while Prince Rui was on his way to find him.
The woman who assassinated Prince Rui was also personally delivered by Gu Wei'ang.
These things are set in stone, and even if Gu Wei'ang repeatedly emphasizes that this matter has nothing to do with him, it will be of no use.
Therefore, Gu Wei'ang was immediately thrown back into jail.
Qin Mulan's identity was quickly discovered.
This investigation uncovered the fact that Prince Rui had forcibly taken a young girl and brutally murdered her.
The people from the Dali Temple found the bodies of many young girls in the backyard of Prince Rui's mansion and the mass grave.
This news enraged Emperor Rongcheng and silenced the officials in the court who had not previously spoken up for Prince Rui.
This also made the people deeply resent and hate Prince Rui.
