510: Chapter 520 Jin Ziyuan’s Resentnt 510: Chapter 520 Jin Ziyuan’s Resentnt “Ah, how did you know?” Lin Qianqing exclaid in surprise.
Gu Youyou smiled and said nothing more.
If her guess was not wrong, the hermit uncle she and Jin Ziyuan t behind the mountains of Lotus Village was none other than the failed Prince No.
3.
She even rembered a sentence Jin Ziyuan had said at that ti, “Are all won so heartless?” At that mont, his eyes were no different from the ones she had just seen.
So, it made sense why Jin Ziyuan harbored such towering hatred towards the consort of Prince No.
3, truly a tragedy of the human condition.
Lin Qianqing continued, “Yes, it’s said that Prince No.
3 was certain of victory, but at the critical mont, he was betrayed by his own consort.
She produced evidence of Prince No.
3’s rebellion.
When the Prince Residence was raided, everyone died except for her, and she erged as a great hero.
Latter on, Prince No.
5 proposed to her.
Logically, even as a second wife, she shouldn’t have been just a concubine, but she willingly accepted, and the Emperor approved.”
If Prince No.
3 had succeeded, she would have been Empress.
Giving up the position of an Empress to beco the concubine of Prince No.
5, the reason behind it was beyond anyone’s understanding.
Gu Youyou’s gaze deepened.
Jin Ziyuan might know sothing about it.
They switched topics and chatted about other matters concerning the households of various officials in Beijing.
Lin Qianqing, a sheltered young lady, knew quite a lot; it was a waste that she wasn’t a know-all.
It was not until dusk that Lin Qianqing left.
At night, Jin Zijin ca online punctually.
Poor Xiang Chun, being divested of her consciousness every night by Jin Zijin via acupoint tapping, Gu Youyou worried it might affect the girl’s health over ti.
Tonight, she administered a calming dicant to Xiang Chun, ensuring she would have a sound sleep without the need of being tapped.
After much contemplation, Gu Youyou finally ca up with a suitable excuse to bring up the matter of the pink snow lotus to Jin Zijin.
“Zijin, do you know of a kind of…
pink lotus?” Seeing Jin Zijin’s probing gaze turn to her, Gu Youyou felt uneasy inside.
She said, “That lotus could help with the cold poison in my body, so I just wanted to ask.
If you haven’t seen it, never mind.”
Jin Zijin stared at Gu Youyou for a long ti before responding indifferently, “You saw him today?”
“Ah…?” Gu Youyou was stunned, not expecting to be figured out so quickly.
It seed she was truly no good at lying to him.
“How did you know?” Gu Youyou still couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Because I’m the one who took the snow lotus,” Jin Zijin said bluntly.
Gu Youyou was left speechless for a while; he really did dare to own his actions.
“Do you know that Jin Ziyuan needs that snow lotus?” She was sure he knew.
“Indeed, I am aware,” Jin Zijin admitted straightforwardly.
This really is sothing.
“He needs that snow lotus for dicine, and you don’t need it, yet you took it.
You said you needed to join forces with him against the State Preceptor.
With such pettiness, you can’t be allies,” Gu Youyou reproached.
“How do you know I have no use for it?” Jin Zijin didn’t like Gu Youyou speaking for soone else, especially for Jin Ziyuan.
His face darkened, visibly upset.
“You have a use for it?” Gu Youyou had never seen that plant and was unaware of its dicinal properties.
Jin Zijin humd, “Do you know what he is using that thousand-year Heart-Cooling Snow Lotus for?
Did he tell you?”
Seeing his expression, it seed the situation was not as simple as she had thought.
Gu Youyou shook her head.
Jin Zijin said, “With that snow lotus, he might be able to find the Zhuzhao Pearl, but the Zhuzhao Pearl is inside my body.
This is a secret, a matter not even Ajing is aware of.
He only thinks I’ve been afflicted with the common Fire Lotus Fla Poison.”
Gu Youyou blinked her eyes, not expecting such a complex turn of events.
