Chapter 185: Die with Eyes Open
She didn't even stab the dagger into King Rui's chest with her own hands so that she could understand him directly.
This makes her hate it!
In order to avenge her sister, she endured for many years, even at the cost of her own innocence. Finally, she found such an opportunity, but because she did not have enough strength, she did not end his life with her own hands.
This made her unwilling.
Therefore, even though she had no breath left, she kept her eyes open, staring intently in the direction of King Rui.
It seemed as if he wanted to watch Prince Rui die with his own eyes.
She believed that justice is clear and that an evil man like Prince Rui would definitely receive the punishment he deserved.
Qinglian rushed over hurriedly, and when she saw the miserable state of Prince Rui, she gasped in shock.
Soon, the news that King Rui was missing, assassinated, and in critical condition spread throughout Tiandu at the first opportunity.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Rui was carried into the palace covered in blood.
Concubine Hui and Emperor Rongcheng rushed over immediately after hearing the news.
At this time, all the imperial doctors were busy.
As soon as Concubine Hui entered and saw the miserable state of Prince Rui, she screamed in fear, her eyes went dark, and she lost consciousness.
In the East Palace.
When Gu Jingchun learned that Prince Rui had been rescued, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
When she heard about Qin Mulan's miserable situation from Lan Xin, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Such a stunningly beautiful and talented woman died in such a tragic way.
“Qin Mulan.”
Gu Jingchun chewed on her name and sighed.
"Just by hearing the name, I know she must be a kind and elegant woman. What a pity."
Lan Xin saw that Gu Jingchun was sad, so she explained:
"Miss, you don't need to feel sorry for Miss Mulan."
"You don't know that being able to kill King Rui with my own hands has been Miss Mulan's wish for many years."
Lan Xin's voice choked a little as she spoke:
"This Miss Mulan was originally an ordinary female worker in our company."
“She is beautiful, but also practical and capable, so she is very much appreciated by the shopkeeper, who wanted to promote her to be a manager.
But she has a younger sister at home who is three years younger than her. She is only twelve years old now. She is very cute and innocent, and especially likes embroidery.
So, Miss Mulan thought about doing more work and saving more money to send her sister to embroider."
“However, after she sent her sister to the embroidery room to learn embroidery, she found that her sister’s temperament was becoming more and more dull day by day.
She asked her, but she refused to say anything. Later, she simply disappeared without a trace.
"She couldn't find her sister anywhere, so she came to the shopkeeper for help."
"The shopkeeper informed Master Wenxi about this."
"After Master Wenxi learned about it, he immediately sent people to investigate, and they helped her find her sister's... body from the mass grave."
Lan Xin sighed when she said this, and her voice became a little dull because she felt uncomfortable.
"It turns out that because her sister was good at embroidery, her then-master took her to the Prince Rui's Palace to work on her."
"This was originally a very common thing, but she was chosen by Prince Rui."
"Who is King Rui? How could he let go of someone he liked so easily? So he ignored her refusal and forcibly took possession of her."
"But she's only twelve years old."
After the incident, she also knew their identities and did not dare to confront Prince Rui. She endured it and did not say anything. She could only obey Prince Rui's orders and go to Prince Rui's mansion every few days.
"And because she didn't go once, she was caught by Prince Rui, who tortured her and then beat her to death."
"When Miss Mulan learned what had happened, she wept bitterly and vowed to avenge her sister.
But since I have no other options, I beg Master Wenxi desperately for help."
"Master Wenxi also tried to persuade her several times, but when he discovered that she had the nerve to follow Prince Rui's carriage alone, he finally agreed to help her."
"Later, he arranged for Miss Mulan to stay in Tianxiang Pavilion and asked her to wait for the opportunity."
"This time, after Master Wenxi knew your plan, he told Miss Mulan about it."
"Miss Mulan immediately decided to join the game and arranged all of this."
Lan Xin's eyes were already filled with tears after she finished speaking.
Seeing Gu Jingchun's eyes reddened, she continued:
"Miss Mulan has made up her mind to die this time. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, she even smeared poison on her private parts. If anyone touches her, her lower body will slowly fester and she will die.
It’s just a pity that Prince Rui didn’t have the chance to touch her before…”
Lan Xin couldn't continue, so Gu Jingchun said:
"In this world, it's much harder for women to survive than for men, yet these men actually want to deprive women of everything."
Gu Jingchun stood up, his face becoming a little colder and harder.
"Let her rest assured. I will definitely find an opportunity to avenge her and her sister."
Lan Xin nodded and said again.
"However, although she didn't completely kill King Rui this time, she still cut off one of his fingers before she died."
When Lan Xin said this, she couldn't help but feel proud.
"Without his fingers, he has no chance of becoming the crown prince."
Gu Jingchun nodded, but he didn't feel happy at all.
The result forged with Qin Mulan's blood is only painful.
She knew that this matter would not end so easily, so she immediately ordered:
“Let everyone be alert and make sure to clean up all the tails.
This time, we didn't kill him in one fell swoop, and we alerted the enemy. This will surely lead to Concubine Hui's crazy revenge, and make everyone wake up to prevent her from taking desperate measures."
Lan Xin nodded, and then she heard Gu Jingchun continue, "We need to arrange a few more people around Xi'er, and now is the time."
"It's time to reveal his identity to the public."
Concubine Hui, I want you to know the price of touching my son.
The assassination of Prince Rui, who was not only seriously injured but also had a finger cut off, instantly caused an uproar in the court.
There was also a heated debate in the court about this.
Gu Wei'ang also became the target of public criticism.
After all, the incident happened to Prince Rui on his way to find him.
The woman who assassinated King Rui was also sent by Gu Weiang himself.
These things are set in stone, and it is useless even if Gu Wei'ang repeatedly emphasizes that this matter has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, Gu Weiang was immediately thrown into jail again.
Qin Mulan's identity was soon discovered.
This investigation was not a big deal, as it revealed that Prince Rui had raped a young girl and brutally killed her.
People from the Dali Temple found the bodies of many young girls in the backyard of Prince Rui's mansion and in the mass grave.
This news made Emperor Rongcheng furious, and also made those officials in the court who had not yet spoken for Prince Rui completely shut up.
It also made the people deeply hate King Rui.
