Chapter 83 Her and His Past Life
In the embassy, Yu Wenhui looked at the two trembling men lying on the ground, rubbing their palms with unclear expressions.
"A teenage barbarian boy with great martial arts skills beat you down?"
The two men nodded in agreement.
"But -" one of the men quickly added, "Although we didn't see her true face, the two of us saw that Prince Lanling went to make an appointment with the young lady. The two of them had a very happy conversation and seemed to have an affair... "
Yu Wenhui's expression darkened but he was not smiling, and he suddenly kicked the man who was speaking.
"Do I want you to say this? Whether the two of them have an affair is none of my business?"
He yelled fiercely and ordered impatiently:
"Get out, get out!"
The two men rolled in a circle on the ground and ran away as if they were amnesty.
"Look, what am I talking about? There shouldn't be any woman who wouldn't like a handsome man like King Lanling, and if that little lady is as stunning as Han Zigao, there shouldn't be any man who wouldn't. I like it, and both of them are from Northern Qi. If they say there is no personal relationship, I won’t believe it.”
Yuwen said with a smile, and then changed the subject, "However, we can take advantage of the personal relationship between these two..."
"How to use it?"
…
The spring night was long and the cool breeze was blowing. Xiao Jinyu had a long dream that night.
In the dream, she was occupied and bullied by Xiao Yun, and was later treated as a trophy and sent to the Shixing Palace because of a bet.
Chen Shuling loved to collect beauties and treated her like a treasure. Whenever he entertained guests, he would make her dance in front of them, and at night he would humiliate her in every possible way.
Until one day, Chen Shuling tried to kill the prince but failed. Knowing that he had no way out, he ordered dozens of beautiful concubines in the mansion to throw themselves into a well, and she was one of them.
In order to escape, she smeared her face to hide her appearance, disguised herself as a soldier and fled among the rebels. She almost died from the swords and guns of the rebels who were killing each other. Fortunately, a man saved her.
And this person is Gao Changgong, King of Lanling.
She only knew him for a moment, and because she ran away in a hurry, she didn't even have time to say thank you.
Later, she returned to the Xiao family to seek the blessing of her grandfather, but her grandfather gave her to a Zhou envoy as a concubine.
From then on, she tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, recognized the indifference of family affection, and no longer trusted anyone. Instead, she turned the beauty that had caused her harm several times into the sharpest weapon, and turned medical skills into poisonous skills to eliminate To take revenge on those who had hurt her.
She became an intermediary, either as a king's concubine or as a minister's concubine. She carried out assassinations with the intention of harming the country, and countless of her men died.
And the last mission she received turned out to be him——
Lanling King Gao Changgong.
Empress Dowager Hu gave Gao Changgong twenty beauties for the purpose of assassinating her.
And she is one of them.
Fortunately, Gao Changgong rejected nineteen beauties, but only wanted her.
After that, she stayed with him as a stunning enchantress, but he was not moved by her beauty. Even when she tempted her several times, he obeyed the rules and did not touch her in the slightest. He said to her:
"You shouldn't live such a life, nor should you turn yourself into what you are now..."
Because she had seen the unkindness of men in this world, she had never been sincere towards him, but because of these words, she began to understand him slowly, and even remembered that long-forgotten life-saving grace.
Later, she was moved by King Lanling's loyalty and kindness, and confessed her identity as a spy and Queen Mother Hu's plan.
Once the intermediary's identity is revealed, he will definitely be counterattacked by the master's family.
In order to protect her, Gao Changgong did not hand her over despite Empress Dowager Hu's repeated demands. He even truly began to accept her, love her and gave her the warmest shelter in her life.
But the good times did not last long. Due to the Battle of Mangshan, Gao Changgong's reputation soared, and the cowardly and incompetent but jealous Qi Lord Gao Wei began to fear him.
She had advised him to leave, even begged and begged...
However, he could not give up his home country, and could not accept the destruction of the country and the displacement of the people caused by his departure.
Even if I tried to endure everything and wanted to succeed, I still got a glass of poisonous wine in the end.
In the end, the only man who had given her love and warmth died. Before his death, he didn't even hesitate or struggle at all. Maybe he is too disappointed with his master, or maybe he no longer has hope for his country.
He drank the poisonous wine in such despair.
But after half a lifetime of practicing medicine, she couldn't save him! Because she has lived with hatred for half her life, the so-called benevolence of doctors has long been completely forgotten by her!
She couldn't save him... she could only watch him die in her arms.
Since then, the heart that finally came back to life has died again.
She took on the last task for herself——
That is to assassinate Qi Lord Gao Wei!
Let the young Lord Qi gradually lose himself in her poison, indulge in wine and sex, until he goes crazy.
An immoral and tyrannical monarch was soon attacked by other countries, and soon the city was destroyed!
The country is destroyed!
Qi Lord Gao Wei was eventually killed by her design.
After completing this last mission, she returned to Qi State again,
Returned to his tomb.
Pour a glass of wine,
Drink with him!
…
Xiao Jinyu sat up and looked at everything familiar in the room. For a moment, she felt as if she was in another world. The woman who finally drank the poisonous wine in the dream seemed to be looking at her with an almost pleading look, begging her... …
So, this is the regret in your heart, right? We never met him at the most beautiful time, but after he was covered in dirt and his heart was as cold as death, you met him who was the best to you... But even so, the beauty you got was still short-lived...
"Madam, are you awake?"
When Axiu saw her waking up, she hurriedly brought her some toiletries and dressed her up.
But seeing that Xiao Jinyu was still in a trance with lingering fear and a gloomy face, he asked, "Did Madam have a nightmare?"
"Yes! What a long dream..." she sighed.
"What did you dream about? Is there someone in the dream that my wife likes?" Axiu joked while combing her hair.
"The person you like?" She murmured, laughing, "I guess so!"
He was the only person she had ever been sincere to in her previous life!
Xiao Jinyu, you want me to help him and change his destiny in this life, right?
……
The peach blossoms outside the window were still there, the spring scenery was full, catkins were flying, and it was another sunny day. There was no one sent by Zhou Envoy and Chen Shuling to disturb them, so the day passed very peacefully.
It's just that this dream invaded her so deeply that her emotions were affected by the original owner, causing her to feel worried and uneasy about that person for no reason.
The envoys from both countries simply rested in the embassy for the past two days. Except for the occasional royal banquet, Gao Changgong never left the embassy, and the hundreds of guards he brought with him protected him at all times.
Zhou Envoy has no chance to make a move!
I hope she is overthinking it!
After giving his grandmother acupuncture to detoxify, he continued to practice archery with Xiao Xian, and even talked about chess games, discussed classics and history, and soon spent a warm and beautiful day in the busy world.
The next two days were still like this. In the blink of an eye, the day of spring on March 3rd had arrived, and just the day before, Ling Ye finally made three sleeve arrows equipped with mechanisms.
Xiao Jinyu gave the sleeve arrows to Xiao Xian and Xiao Ruoling respectively, and kept a set for herself.
On March 3rd, she went out with Xiujian and an invitation that Xiao Xian had asked for for her.
"Uncle Xian, please don't be too surprised if you recognize me at the cultural gathering."
