"The wife of the thirteenth prince? Oh! Yes! I rember now. A barbarian king took a fancy to her. He threatened to attack the Jin state if the princess refused to marry him. The late Emperor could do nothing but ask her to marry the barbarian king in secret. But they told the public that she got sick and died!"
There were widely differing versions about these anecdotes of the forr dynasty. So said that the princess refused to marry the king. She said that she would rather die than get married to the barbarian king.
But if she didn’t marry the king, there wouldn’t be so many rumors.
mbers of the royal family were ruthless. They could defend the national interests at the cost of their loved ones.
Shangguan Qing was well aware of their rciless nature.
"Yes. Your father once talked with his subordinates about the royal families of Tubo. I heard that the favorite son of the king was a martial expert. He was brave and lecherous. Moreover, he likes the girls of the Jin state the best."
Lin ngwu imdiately understood what Shangguan Qing ant. Her eyes lit up.
"If he takes a fancy on Lin ngya, Lin ngya has to marry him despite that she was Princess Yu, doesn’t she?"
The shaless mother and daughter wanted to make a vicious plan to sell Lin ngya.
But they forgot that Lin ngya had a sharp mind. She would never place herself at the rcy of others.
For half a month, Long Tianhao and Long Qinghan were busy preparing for the welcoming banquet for the Bright King.
Lin ngya was right. The Crown Prince hushed it up after going back to his ho.
He stayed in the Crown Prince’s Mansion for most of the ti. Sotis, he would go to the imperial palace to visit his mother.
Lin ngya also asked the servants to stop talking about the events that happened that night.
But they still talked about the Crown Prince in private and the story beca more far-fetched.
The weather gradually turned cold and it was fall.
Lin ngya had lived in the north for many years and liked distinctive seasons. So she enjoyed the clear and crisp autumn climate.
Lin ngya employed the stick and the carrot approach to managing the affairs and Prince Yu’s Mansion was organized now.
But to her surprise, Shangguan Qing didn’t make any trouble, instead, she would bring Lin ngwu to the Qinglan Courtyard to chat with her from ti to ti.
Lin ngya always went through the motions when talking with this vicious woman.
Jiang Ruqin also stopped bothering her. Lin ngya lived a life of leisure now.
Lin ngya felt cold despite that it was still early autumn.
She was lying in the fox blanket in the pavilion and staring blankly at the yellow leaves on the tree.
"Sister-in-law, you must be in good humor now! Are you enjoying the autumn landscape?"
Lin ngya heard the skittish voice of Long Qinghan. She turned around and found that this handso gentleman was wearing lavender clothes today.
"Prince Qinghan, what brings you here?"
Lin ngya asked in a gentle and lazy voice. As she beca more familiar with her body, her original character beca more obvious.
Su Qingge was a cunning and mature woman while the real Lin ngya was an innocent girl. But they intermingled without losing their separate identities. Gradually, they also found a weird balance point.
Those who were familiar with Lin ngya felt that she was getting more and more cunning.
But Lin ngya had a different idea. Thanks to the kindness of the forr master of this body, her dark side gradually disappeared and she beca more and more lively.
She once believed that human nature was evil, but now she beca more optimistic and positive.
Perhaps this was the last gift of the smart and warm-hearted girl.
"I dare not bother you if I’m in trouble. But there’s sothing wrong with the killer in the dungeon."
Qinghu? Lin ngya nearly forgot that he was in the dungeon.
She narrowed her limpid eyes and looked at the flowers in the garden. It seed that the autumn just ca yesterday and several fist-sized chrysanthemums blossod today.
"What’s wrong him? I heard that he refused to say anything and always wanted to et , didn’t he?"
Qinghu was a principal criminal and the guards in the mansion were guarding him from morning to night.
But he was a tough nut and refused to tell anything after being tortured.
Lin ngya also refused to go to the dungeon to et him. Therefore, a month had passed but there was still no progress.
"Yes. But from the day before yesterday, he passed out from ti to ti. The doctors in our mansion treated him but we saw no chance of any improvent. He may die if things continue this way."
There was a glimr of understanding in her eyes. Lin ngya thought for a while and realized that it was ti to et him.
"Ask the guards to take the two new-blown chrysanthemums. Let’s go to the dungeon to visit Qinghu."
Lin ngya got up and left with her three servant girls. Long Qinghan looked at Lin ngya’s figure with doubts.
He couldn’t understand why Lin ngya brought the flowers when interrogating the prisoner.
The dungeon was still damp and dark and it was filled with a rancid and bloody sll.
She hadn’t entered this place for a long ti. Lin ngya suddenly noticed that there were more prisoners than before.
Lin ngya walked by the cells without making any comnts. She and Long Tianhao had different styles. They should mind their own business.
Her pogranate-red dress was eye-catching in the dark cell.
The guards who were coming in and out of the cell knew that this beautiful and charming girl was the legendary Princess Yu, who was sinister and clever.
So people were still skeptical about her ability.
But there were few won who could stay calm when walking in the dark dungeon.
This girl was daring and brave!
Qinghu was imprisoned in a separate cell alone.
Lin ngya asked the guard to open the door. She took the chrysanthemum and walked into the cell by herself.
Qinghu was curled on the straw mat in the corner of the cell. He looked thinner and his clothes had already been soaked with blood and beco red and black. He was lying quietly as if he was dead.
"Get up! Stop playing possum. Although your respiration is faint, it is too even. If you don’t get up, I’ll directly kill you."
A clear and soft voice appeared in the cell.
Qinghu who was lying in the corner imdiately squird.
He lifted his thin face and looked at the beautiful girl standing in front of him. His lips were pale and dry and he forced a smile.
"Hey! You know well. You bastard! You’re so relentless!"
His tone was still skittish. But to her surprise, his voice was hoarse and his beautiful and charming face also turned pale.
His beautiful eyes, which always glead with mischief before, also beca dim and dull at this mont.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to kill yourself? I told you to stop taking the drug! You’ll definitely die if you can’t kick the habit!"
Qinghu was leaning against the wall and he suddenly smiled.
His eyes were dull as if losing the focus. He was thin and weak now. It seed that he didn’t even have the strength to talk to her.
"You don’t know the world. If I lose my ability for a short mont, I will be killed by the enemies who are lying in wait for . I want to stay in your courtyard and eat your snacks and drink your tea in secret. This has been the happiest days of my life."
His tone was full of loneliness that Lin ngya did not understand.
In fact, she and Qinghu had used each other to achieve their goals.
Qinghu was no match for her and suffered defeat in the end.
But this guy had never really hurt her.
Therefore, she wanted to give him a chance.
"This is Longmo. It looks similar to the chrysanthemum but its flowers are a rare poison."
Lin ngya put the flower in front of Qinghu.
She found this flower by accident in the drugstore a month ago.
Longmo looked exactly the sa as the chrysanthemum. The only difference between them was that Longmo had a red dark line in its petiole.
This plant was very strange. Its faint yellow flower was one of the most toxic poisons in the world.
But its leaf was an effective cure for the wounds.
This flower was suitable for Qinghu’s condition.
"Is this toxic?"
Qinghu rolled his eyes and looked at the two faint yellow flowers on the ground.
"There will be no other plants in a 5,000-ter area around it after it becos mature. But there will also be no antidote to it at that ti."
"What will happen to if I eat it?"
After talking with Lin ngya for a while, Qinghu closed his eyes as if he was exhausted.
Lin ngya lowered her eyes and answered his question without any emotion.
"It can completely neutralize the toxicity in your body without abolishing your martial arts. However, this dicine can only last for three years. After three years, you will die and no dicine can save your life."
Qinghu looked at the girl standing in front of him with difficulty. She seed to be the fairy in hell.
The options presented by her were always extre and Qinghu couldn’t make a compromise.
It seed that his nightmare started when he t her.
"Do you an that I can live my own life freely and no one can control in the next three years?
After hesitating for a mont, Lin ngya still nodded.
He could choose three free years or a controlled lifeti. No one was sure which choice was more worthwhile.
"Well, you’re my killer. No, you’re my savior. I’ll enjoy three free years or even three free days at any cost."
Qinghu sighed. There were still handcuffs on his wrists but he picked the fist-sized corolla without hesitation.
I stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it hard and swallowed it.
"This flower looks pretty but tastes very bitter."
Lin ngya silently stood aside and watched Qinghu swallow the two flowers.
Although this plant was toxic, it was an effective cure for the wounds. It seed that Qinghu’s strength had improved a lot.
"Hey! Girl! Why does my body have no response?"
Qinghu had already prepared for the suffering. But after waiting for a while, he only noticed that a warm stream appeared in his stomach and nourished his body. But he didn’t have any other strange feelings.
Lin ngya couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She picked all the other leaves and stuffed them into his mouth.
"This is not the panacea and will not cause pain or suffering."
