After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power
Chapter 391: Love as Bait
Jiang Xue Ning was on her way to Yufu Mountain. Shen Zhaoyan had gotten much better and could walk normally, but he was still a little thin.
"how do you feel?"
"It's very comfortable. I finally don't have to suffer from the cold poison." He said with a smile, "Stay here for another half a month, and the poison in my body will be eliminated."
He can stay with her for a long time, and it is hard for him to be unhappy whenever he thinks about this.
Jiang Xue Ning stayed here and walked around with him for a while before she spoke, "How many troops can Yunmeng Prefecture mobilize?"
He immediately guessed, "Something happened to Xiangchu?"
She nodded slowly and told him about Gu Hanzhou and Mu Furong.
He immediately gave her the token and said, "If you need it, call for it at any time. Send someone to bring the token back to Yunmeng Province with Bai Zhu."
"You are quite generous."
"Ahem, just consider it as my advance betrothal gift."
Jiang Xue Ning accepted the token and said, "I'm not planning on marrying her."
"Then just think of it as your dowry."
Shen Zhaoyan didn't care. He didn't care about these things anyway. He had no idea about power. He only cared about her thoughts.
"I haven't decided whether to transfer or not. I feel like it's not time yet."
After being pestered by him and staying in Yufu for a long time, Jiang Xue Ning finally left.
When they returned to the palace, Qing He came up to them and said, "Bai Shu asked the prince to come back and go to the Eleventh Lady's courtyard."
Could it be that Gu Tangli's condition had changed? Jiang Xue Ning didn't dare to delay and went there immediately.
Gu Tangli looked much better. She leaned against the head of the bed with a faint expression. Doctor Zhou was giving her an injection on her arm, while Bai Zhu was standing beside her with a frown on his face.
Seeing her coming, Gu Tangli immediately asked, "Have you found Gu Hanzhou?"
She didn't answer but looked at Bai Zhu, "What's going on?"
Bai Zhu said with some frustration, "She was poisoned by a strange poison that corrodes the bones and burns the heart. If she doesn't take the antidote on time, her heart will stop and she will vomit blood and die soon."
Jiang Xue Ning immediately calculated the time and her expression changed slightly, "Tonight is when the poison will take effect. I was so busy that I almost forgot."
Doctor Zhou at the side continued, "Fortunately, after pregnancy, most of the toxins were transferred to the fetus, and most of the toxins were taken away with the miscarriage."
"Does that mean she's okay now?"
Doctor Zhou said regretfully, "This poison is very strong. She has been taking it for years, and even if she takes the antidote on time, her body is inevitably damaged. Coupled with the toxins remaining in her body, she should only have a dozen years to live."
Bai Zhu sighed, "We have tried our best, but there is no solution for now. Maybe there will be adventures and opportunities in the future. As long as we are alive, there is hope."
Jiang Xue Ning was in a complicated mood. She had experienced so much and had not yet started to live a good life for herself again when she received such news.
"It's my fault for not protecting you and not finding you earlier."
"Of course, I'm satisfied with this." Gu Tangli said firmly, "These ten years are what Mu Jin and the child have exchanged their lives for me. It's enough."
It was enough for her to do what she wanted, enough for her to kill Gu Hanzhou and see peace in the world.
One should not be too greedy. She thought this was a good idea, so she could go see Mu Jin earlier.
She was so strong that their comfort seemed pale.
Gu Tangli said softly, "Everyone has his own destiny. These ten years are enough to do a lot of things. I will make these ten years meaningful."
"Okay, even if it's only ten years, you must live a life that is glorious and make the most of your youth!" Jiang Xue Ning encouraged her.
That night, everyone watched over her anxiously. By midnight, she was sweating profusely from the pain.
Doctor Zhou and Qinghe helped her into the medicine barrel and let her soak in the medicinal bath while they moved silver needles all over her body.
When everything was over, she fell asleep out of exhaustion.
Doctor Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as we get through this time, the next ones will get easier and easier, and we'll be fine slowly."
Jiang Xue Ning nodded. As for the issue of lifespan, she could only think of a solution later.
In a villa outside Xiangchu, someone is sleepless tonight.
Gu Hanzhou was on a high building, drinking and listening to the maid playing the piano.
Wen Yuchen pushed the door open and asked knowingly, "If I remember correctly, tonight is the night when the poison takes effect. Will she die?"
Gu Hanzhou was obviously in a bad mood. He looked at him coldly and said, "A woman who dares to betray you deserves to die."
In order to conceal the real purpose, Wu Jin deliberately led the secret guards to search for him in a high-profile manner these days.
Of course he received the news and confirmed that Gu Tangli had betrayed him regardless of the consequences.
This was something that could be predicted at the moment of Mu Jin's death. But when it was actually confirmed, he still felt very complicated.
Perhaps because he had drunk a lot of wine, or perhaps because tonight was very special, he slowly spoke, "Was I not good to her? She betrayed me so resolutely that she was willing to sacrifice her own life."
"Of course you were nice to her sometimes, but the way you started was wrong." Wen Yuchen said sharply, "She is the eleventh daughter of the Gu family, the apple of the Gu family's eye. She grew up in love with luxury. The little love the prince gave her seems too insignificant."
Having been with him for so long, Wen Yuchen certainly knew that he was actually very good at lending a helping hand to desperate women and giving them a little so-called love. Then those who were in need of love would be blinded by this so-called love and would go through fire and water for him without hesitation.
The two top figures before Gu Tangli were both tamed by him in this way, and both of them eventually sacrificed themselves for his great cause.
He could have controlled it with poison alone, but he really liked to use love as a means to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
Gu Hanzhou laughed, "Hahahaha, it turns out that she is a person who has no lack of love, so she doesn't care about the little love I give her."
Wen Yuchen lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in them. He was extremely disgraceful for his behavior.
Gu Tangli became an exception because she had been loved well before. So she was very clear-headed and could tell whether the so-called love was fake and malicious.
"You don't seem to like what I'm doing."
Wen Yuchen said calmly, "I just think that you don't have to give them love. Their destiny is to fight for you until the last moment."
Anyway, the moment she was chosen, her fate was sealed. In the end, she was deceived in the name of love. How pitiful.
Gu Hanzhou obviously knew his character and just sneered, "You are still so noble... When you meet someone like Gu Tangli, you really have no idea what to do..."
Because it was special enough, it left a little ripple in his heart. Feelings are sometimes really strange things.
Wen Yuchen's gaze swept across the woman playing the piano behind him, and then quickly retracted.
Finally, he said, "She is special enough to make the prince drunk for her."
When the first two people died, he didn't even frown.
"Oh, it's a pity that she betrayed me in the end..."
Gu Hanzhou was upset, not because he felt sorry for her, but because he had spent the most effort on her and had also failed the most miserably.
