Peasant Woman is in Her Prime

C167

Jin Xiaolou closed her eyes tightly, her face as pale as paper, her eyelashes fluttering like the wings of a butterfly. Although the room was very warm, her hands and feet were ice-cold, and her entire body was trembling uncontrollably.

Imperial Physician Fu said that it was because of Qi and blood. If the long needle was not taken out in time, even if the person was revived, he would not be able to wake up.

Imperial Physician Fu's words were like another long needle piercing into Gao Lang's heart, causing him to feel pain and pain at the same time.

Gao Lang walked forward, bent down, and gave a deep kiss between Jin Xiaolou's brows. He turned his head and said to Lv Yun: "You must take good care of her."

Without waiting for Lv Yun's answer, Gao Lang had already strode out, opened the door, and said loudly: "Chang An, prepare your horse!"

What Gao Lang had asked him to prepare were twenty horses. The flying pigeons sent letters to the various relay stations, and only needed to wait for Gao Lang to arrive to change horses.

Immediately after, Chang An brought the good foal, and got on the horse. Just as he was about to move forward with the whip in his hand, Chang An chased after him: "Seventh Elder, Crown Prince .."

Gao Lang pulled back the reins and said coldly, "The killer must be Fifth Brother. Not only did he harm Third Brother, he even wanted to harm me. However, there is not enough evidence to convict him right now. "

"Since Third Brother is dead, Little Lou has to live! Take care of Ol 'Five for me. Don't ask him to cause any more trouble when I'm not around! "

After Gao Lang finished speaking, he clamped his legs together and left.

His journey was long, but time was short, so he could not delay even a moment. That old man in the cave at Golden Chill Mountain, even if he wanted to capture him, he had to capture him and bring his Rainbow Garden back to save Jin Xiaolou's life!

As for the crown prince who had yet to be buried, the unsolved cases and how the emperor would explain it, these were all not that important to Jin Xiaolou.

Ji Lingyun dressed up, wanting to take advantage of the dusk to sneak into the Rainbow Garden to take a look at the Jin Xiaolou who had bewitched Seventh Prince until he was dizzy.

But who knew that just as he reached the Rainbow Garden entrance, he would peek his head out from behind the big tree and eat the dust that filled the sky from the Seventh Prince's hooves.

Ji Lingyun didn't know where Seventh Prince, who was in such a hurry, had a face full of gloom. She only wanted to see that Jin Xiaolou.

Only by knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can you be invincible.

After walking back and forth for a long time, the area outside the Rainbow Garden was heavily guarded. Even the inconspicuous horned gate was guarded by guards.

There was no other way, so Ji Lingyun could only let it go and bitterly return to WeChat.

He changed into his pajamas and tossed and turned in his room, unable to fall asleep.

He muttered Jin Xiaolou's name.

The maid who was guarding the pavilion felt it was strange as she heard her young miss talking about it. After hesitating for a long time, she finally could not help but light the lamp and walk in.

She softly and gently asked Ji Lingyun: "Miss, why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? You keep calling out Boss Jin's name, do you want to eat some sweet water?"

Fang'er placed the lamp holder on the side of the bed, and reached out to cover Ji Lingyun with a blanket: "If you want to eat, then sleep. We'll go to Linlang Workshop first thing tomorrow morning, okay?"

Hearing that, Ji Lingyun suddenly sat up, using her strength to grab Fang'er's arm and shouted: "Boss Jin? Boss Jin? "

This time, Fang'er was so scared that her soul almost left her body. She stumbled as she replied, "Yes .." Yes, miss. Didn't Miss just call him by his name? "

"Boss Jin... Jin Xiaolou? " Ji Lingyun said in a stunned voice, "So her name is Jin Xiaolou! So Boss Jin is actually Jin Xiaolou! "

"Miss, Miss, what happened to you?" Fang'er was completely terrified, unable to struggle free from Ji Lingyun's grasp, she rushed to the door and shouted: "Someone come, young miss is bewitched!"

Ji Lingyun covered Fang'er's mouth: "Shh! "Don't shout!"

Then he pulled off the blanket, ran to the cabinet and found a set of dark male clothing that was hidden secretly, he grabbed ahold of Fang'er and ran out: "You know the Boss Jin's name is Jin Xiaolou, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Fang'er was also aggrieved, "Miss, you've never asked either."

Moreover, what is the name of this Boss Jin, what does it have to do with anything?

Ji Lingyun had thought that the moment she knew Jin Xiaolou's name, all of the things that had happened between her and Du Jing, was all part of a conspiracy!

It was Jin Xiaolou's conspiracy!

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? Just when she wanted to find a man to get married, Jin Xiaolou suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

It must be that Jin Xiaolou had heard of something from somewhere and knew that the empress had intentionally married him to the Seventh Prince.

Ji Lingyun hated him so much her teeth itched!

Using such a method, she had given herself and the Seventh Prince no chance to escape. However, Jin Xiaolou had never expected that she would meet the Seventh Prince when she was eloping with that man!

Everything was related to marriage.

Seventh Prince was destined to be hers, no one else should even think of taking it away!

Ji Lingyun was already used to stealing Ji Mansion, after pulling Fang'er along, she ran out quickly and passed through half of the capital, towards the Rainbow Garden on the west side.

Fang'er's face was pale and she still hadn't come back to her senses. She only asked, "Miss, in the middle of the night, what are we going to do .."

"For what?" Ji Lingyun could hear her anger, "Since you were young, you have grown up within our Ji Mansion and have lived your days without worries. Now, it's time for you to repay us with your Ji Mansion!"

Ji Lingyun held Fang'er and hid behind a big tree at the Rainbow Garden entrance. Both of Ji Lingyun's hands were on Fang'er's shoulders: "If you help me this once, I'll give you whatever you want from now on!"

"This .." Fang'er's face became even paler. No matter how she listened to these words, it seemed as if she had no future.

"Listen up, in a bit you will go to the Rainbow Garden door, and make as much noise as you can, and make as much noise as possible!" Ji Lingyun said as her gaze grew hard, "I want to go in and personally ask her a few words!"

With that, Ji Lingyun pushed Fang'er out.

Taking advantage of the surrounding guards at the Rainbow Garden entrance, Ji Lingyun left the big tree and ran to the side.

He waited for a long time as he counted the stars in the sky. Seeing that there were more and more people at the door, even Chang An appeared, mixed with the man's scolding and the woman's wails.

Only then did Ji Lingyun run over to the white wall, climbed on top of an almond tree and jumped into the wall.

The guards who were supposed to patrol inside the walls were all attracted by the sound of the door opening. Once Ji Lingyun entered the garden, she walked into the shadows of the trees, and even when she reached the inner courtyard, no one noticed him.

The windows of the Green Martial Mansion were closed, but there were candles burning inside.

Imperial Physician Fu guarded for the greater part of the night, and only after seeing Jin Xiaolou's chaotic breathing gradually calm down did she relax. She instructed Lv Yun to look out carefully, and if there was any unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely come and call for her, carrying the medicine box to the neighboring room to rest.

Lv Yun sat on the side of the bed with one hand holding Lin'er and the other holding Jin Xiaolou.

Outside the window, the parasol tree rustled softly. Seeing the person in front of him fast asleep, Lv Yun finally could not hold it in as tears fell down.

"Shopkeeper, I'm always useless. I only know how to cry." Lv Yun placed her chin on Lin'er's head and leaned on it, as though only the warm Lin'er could comfort the cold hands in her palm, "But if you are able to wake up, even if I have to cry and tear my eyes away, I am willing."

"Shopkeeper, I cannot leave you, Lin'er and Seventh Prince cannot leave you!" Lv Yun said that since the Imperial Physician Fu had spoken, only the shopkeeper was able to calm down. Then, there would be a chance to wait until the arrival of the expert, and the shopkeeper would definitely receive Imperial Physician Fu's silver needles for 749 days. "If you can hear it, you must wait for the Seventh Prince to come back!"

The sound of small footsteps sounded out from outside the room.

Wen Mei and Shangguan Yun each held a thermos, while the other one carried a food box and came over.

Nan Yang, who had been standing guard in front of the door, opened it. She blocked the gushing wind and let Wen Mei and Shangguan Yun in.

Wen Mei placed the warm pot under Jin Xiaolou's feet. The food box was for Lv Yun.

Su Yun opened the lid and poured a cup of hot tea and said, "Big sister Lv Yun, you should go and take a rest with young master first. I'll come watch during the next half of the night."

Lv Yun shook her head: "Lin'er has already fallen asleep.

"But, you can't continue guarding her like this day and night. I'm afraid your body won't be able to take it before Madam wakes up." Sleeping Cloud was a little anxious. "We'll take turns. Anyone can take a break."

Lv Yun still shook her head and did not say another word.

If it was someone reliable, she would also want to take turns with him. After all, no one was an iron-clad man, but to the people in the Rainbow Garden, Lv Yun was not at ease with the two people in front of him!

Seeing that it was useless to say anything more, Sleeping Cloud could only take out the plate and took the food box. "Then elder sister, please eat something."

After he finished speaking, he walked out of the house with Wen Mei.

After Wen Mei walked two steps, she hesitated for a moment before she stopped.

Nan Yang, who was pulling the front door, walked towards the crabapple tree in the courtyard. After the two had disappeared into the tree shadows, Wen Mei opened her mouth: "Seventh Elder is not in the capital, Chang An is guarding in the outer courtyard. Big Sister Nan Yang, isn't this the best opportunity to get rid of Jin Xiaolou?"

Nan Yang was startled, the gentle wind blew down the bright white petals of the pear, causing them to fall all over the place. She took a deep breath, her chest full of sweet fragrance, and only after a long while did she shake her head and walk back.

Wen Mei anxiously pulled her sleeves: "Sister Nan Yang, after this, I'm afraid that I won't have another chance in the future."

Just as he finished his sentence, he heard a soft click from the tree shadow behind him.

Nan Yang made a gesture of silence, she looked behind him and saw a small figure crouching down, slowly approaching him.

The instant Wen Mei frowned, Nan Yang had already pounced on him like a sly rabbit. She twisted both of the man's hands in two moves, and with a sudden swing, she crashed into the courtyard that was illuminated by the lantern light.

The person in the middle of the courtyard was covered in dirt, and he was dressed like a man. From the looks of it, he was clearly a woman.

Hearing the noises coming from outside, Lv Yun also quickly put down Lin'er and opened the door. Although the person on the ground had a dirty face, Lv Yun could recognize him with a glance: "Miss Ji, you .. Why are you here? "

Nan Yang and Wen Mei had their backs to Ji Lingyun in the first place, when they heard Lv Yun's words, they immediately walked up, and saw that the person in front of them was the Minister of Revenue, Ji Luo and Yu's young miss.

This surprised the two of them.

How could a dignified young miss of the Ji Family sneakily come into Rainbow Garden?

Ji Lingyun did not dodge, but upon seeing that sshe had been seen through, he stood up and looked at the three people around him, then naturally spoke: "I heard that Seventh Prince is going to marry a peasant girl whose body is covered in mud, I just want to ask her for a few words."

Lv Yun heard Ji Lingyun's words with contempt and frowned.

"Not to mention that my shopkeeper is full of literary talent, even a peasant girl who has never read a book would know that barging into someone's house in the middle of the night was rude and ugly." Lv Yun frowned, her expression returning to normal, but her voice became slightly louder, "Miss Ji has wasted her time in studying the Good Book, but she is not even as good as the village girl.
