I just got divorced, and this cold, ruthless, and powerful minister is begging for a third child eve

After the person left, Ru Hua quickly walked to Xie Lanyu's side and asked worriedly:

"Miss, can Madam really deal with Gu Mingshuang? That's the Dali Temple prison!"

Xie Lanyu slowly withdrew her gaze and chuckled softly:

"The lady's maternal family, the Meng family, now has people working in the Dali Temple prison. In such a place, killing someone is extremely easy."

Ru Hua trembled in fear when she saw her young mistress's cold and stern eyes.

She suddenly remembered that a year ago, after her young mistress accidentally fell into the water, she suddenly seemed like a completely different person.

Although the young ladies of the past were also very spoiled, they would at most beat and scold the servants, but never take anyone's life.

But nowadays, prostitutes can kill someone while chatting and laughing!

The image of green lotus leaves in the painting made my fingers tremble slightly.

That day, she saw Green Lotus run out of the young lady's room. Green Lotus quickly disappeared from sight. She still remembered the glance she took when she saw Green Lotus.

Green Lotus's face turned deathly pale, and a trickle of black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She was terrified and stood under the eaves, too afraid to go over. After a long while, she finally went in to serve her, only to find her mistress leisurely drinking bird's nest soup. She only said that Green Lotus was willful and had run out after throwing a tantrum.

Ru Hua clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down.

"Miss, what about the young master?"

Xie Lanyu walked towards the study.

"If the Crown Prince were awake, he might sabotage the plan, so he must remain unconscious."

As she spoke, Xie Lanyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Take the medicine bottle from the bottom of my drawer. I should go deliver the medicine to my cousin."

Before long, Xie Lanyu came out of the study.

Inside, it was so quiet that only the breathing of someone asleep could be heard.

A slight smile played on her lips.

Song Linyuan was her first target, and she knew all too well how to manipulate him.

However, Song Linyuan's subconscious resistance just now made Xie Lanyu's anger even deeper.

When he was being rough with her, why didn't he remain chaste for Gu Mingshuang? Now he wants to sever ties with her?

dream!

Ru Hua strode forward and looked inside to see that the young master was already asleep on the couch.

Xie Lanyu glanced back at Song Linyuan, a hint of ruthlessness and ambition gradually rising in her eyes.

Since the Meng family has cut off all other paths, the only remaining path is to stay in the Marquis's mansion.

She's not here to be subservient; she's here to be the one in control, the one who wields the power.

At this time, in the Dali Temple prison.

Gu Mingshuang sat quietly, watching the world outside the window gradually turn from day to night.

This cell floor held very few people; besides her, there were only two or three other women, so it was very quiet.

As night fell, only a sliver of candlelight could penetrate the darkness, and in the darkness, Gu Mingshuang felt a long-lost sense of peace and tranquility.

During this period, she was constantly entangled in various troubles, but now she has finally been allowed to stay in peace.

Thinking back on her days in Kyoto, spent every day scheming and being looked down upon, Gu Mingshuang gave a self-deprecating smile.

She hadn't been this quiet in a long time.

I never imagined that I would find this peace and quiet in the Dali Temple prison.

With Qi Huan's help, no one in the prison dared to provoke her, and even the prison guards who came to inspect treated her with courtesy.

Just then, footsteps were heard.

"Dinner's ready!" The jailer brought the food and politely placed the food box on the ground and pushed it in front of Gu Mingshuang.

Someone delivered food to you.

Gu Mingshuang glanced at the food box. These dishes must have been prepared and delivered, either by Qi Huan or Du Cang.

But she didn't have much of an appetite yet.

A shout came from the cell next door.

"Please! Give me some food! I'm about to die! Just give me something to eat..."

Gu Mingshuang then noticed that a gaunt woman was locked up next door. The woman was holding only half a blackened steamed bun, which had been carelessly thrown in earlier and was now filthy and emitting a foul stench.

The woman stared at the food box, then suddenly rushed to the iron railing in the middle.

She suddenly reached out and caught the food box in front of Gu Mingshuang. She gripped the food box tightly and refused to let go, kneeling down and begging for some food.

With a forceful movement, the food box spilled out, scattering dumplings all over the floor.

Before Gu Mingshuang could speak, the woman's eyes lit up. She opened the food box, pounced over, picked up the dumplings from the ground, and wolfed them down.

Gu Mingshuang couldn't bear to pursue the matter and looked away.

But the next moment, the woman suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Gu Mingshuang immediately turned around, only to see the woman's face suddenly turn pale, and she collapsed with dumplings still stuffed in her mouth.

Seeing black blood flowing from the woman's seven orifices, Gu Mingshuang suddenly stood up.

This is poisoning! And it's even more potent than the poison that Green Lotus was poisoned with; it's a deadly poison that can kill instantly!

Gu Mingshuang pounded on the iron bars and shouted loudly towards the outside:

"Help! Help!"

When the prison guards arrived and saw the scene before them, they exchanged grim glances.

They rushed forward and opened the cell door, only to find the woman was already dead.

Gu Mingshuang couldn't hear the whispers of the jailers; she only saw them wrap the person in a straw mat and carry them out after they reached an agreement.

She looked at the dumplings rolling on the ground and shouted sharply:

"She's been poisoned! She's been poisoned in Dali Temple prison, and you're just going to sit idly by and do nothing?"

The jailer glared at Gu Mingshuang with annoyance.

"This prisoner died suddenly from a serious illness, what do you know?"

"A sudden, serious illness?" Gu Mingshuang pointed at the dumplings on the ground, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

"She hasn't eaten in a long time, and she collapsed after just eating these dumplings, bleeding from all seven orifices! There must be something wrong with these dumplings!"

With a bang, the jailer kicked the cell door.

"Shut up! If you dare spout any more nonsense, don't blame us for being impolite!"

He looked at the jailer beside him and said:

"Go inside and clean it up so there won't be any more trouble!"

The jailer next to him quickly took out a key and opened the door to Gu Mingshuang's cell.

Gu Mingshuang was surprised to see him taking away all the dumplings, and thinking of their strange expressions after they rushed over, which didn't seem like the reaction one would have after seeing a prisoner suddenly die, but rather as if they knew something!

Then there's only one possibility: these jailers knew someone would die, but they didn't expect it to be that woman!

Gu Mingshuang immediately became alert and said in a deep voice:

"Are you afraid of causing a scene, or do you want to cover up the crime?"

With a snap, the jailer outside the door lashed out with his whip towards Gu Mingshuang.

"You dare talk nonsense! You're asking for a beating!"

Gu Mingshuang barely managed to dodge the whip by turning to the side, but her hair was still caught by the whip, and her long hair instantly fell down.

She glared at the jailer at the door and said sternly:

"This food box was delivered to me; it seems someone wants me dead! I demand to see the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review!"

With a sharp crack, another lash of the whip struck, and the jailer pointed at Gu Mingshuang, shouting angrily:

"Brothers! Give this scoundrel a good beating!"

Gu Mingshuang clenched her fists, lowered her eyes, and seemed to be hiding in fear, retreating little by little into the corner.

Seeing her cower in fear in the corner, the prison guards rolled up their sleeves triumphantly and exchanged glances.

They've been lusting after this stunningly beautiful young woman for a long time. Since she's going to die either way, they might as well satisfy their cravings first!

"superior!"

Seeing them rushing towards her, Gu Mingshuang immediately shoveled her foot!

This was the movement technique Qin Mo taught her. Sure enough, she quickly knocked away the people who rushed at her, and then threw a handful of sand at them.

"what!"

The guards, caught completely off guard, immediately covered their eyes and howled.

Taking advantage of the guards' inattention, Gu Mingshuang quickly picked up a dumpling and hid it in her sleeve before rushing out of the cell.

"Guards! I need to see the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review! Guards! I need to see the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review!"

Gu Mingshuang shouted as she ran.

In the darkness, in the unfamiliar Dali Temple prison, she stumbled and fell, but quickly got up again.

Her shoe fell off, but she gritted her teeth and kept running forward, her feet aching from the pebbles.

She would never accept dying here silently!

A series of footsteps drew closer to her, accompanied by curses.

"You bitch! You dare run away! Just wait till I get my hands on you!"

"So you're going to refuse a polite toast only to drink a forfeit, huh? I was originally planning to finish you off and give you a quick death, but who knew you'd turn out to be such a spineless bastard!"

……

Gu Mingshuang's face turned pale. She was still some distance from the gate, and the hope in her eyes was dwindling.

She finally pulled out the last hairpin from her hair.

This was the last weapon she had hidden for herself to use in a counterattack.

Even if she were to die here, she would never bow her head!

"She's right there! I see her!"

"Brothers! Quick! Seize this bastard!"

……

The sound grew closer, and Gu Mingshuang limped towards the door, her fingers trembling from the effort.

The hairpin in my palm was sharpened to an extremely sharp point, and it stung my palm terribly when I clenched it tightly.

With a whoosh, an unusual sound of wind rang in my ears, followed by a snap.

The whip grazed her left shoulder, and the burning pain made her grit her teeth.

"We've got her!"

Her left shoulder was suddenly pressed down, and Gu Mingshuang turned her head sharply, her hairpin piercing the jailer's eye in an instant!

"what!"

The screams were particularly piercing in the empty prison.

Gu Mingshuang shook off that hand and ran forward desperately.

The moment she saw the door, she bit her lip.

Just one step away!

Then, the moment she was caught, she had no weapon left to defend herself.

Despair welled up in his eyes.

Still one step short!

She is not reconciled!

Not reconciled!

The instant they were pulled back into the darkness, with a whoosh.

The arrow suddenly streaked across the night sky and plunged into the narrow passageway.

In an instant, it pierced the arm of the jailer who was holding Gu Mingshuang!

"what……"

The scream abruptly stopped as another arrow pierced his throat!

The moment the blood gushed out, Gu Mingshuang was pulled and slammed into a familiar chest.

The faint scent of snowflakes emanating from Qin Mo immediately enveloped her.

He held a sword in one hand and reached through Gu Mingshuang's shoulder with the other, covering her eyes, and whispered:

"Don't look."

The sound of longswords piercing flesh rang out continuously, and soon the narrow passageway was filled with the heavy smell of blood.

Soon, a group of officials rushed over and were stunned by what they saw.

When Yin Zhao, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, arrived, Qin Mo was carrying the woman in purple in his arms, walking out of the prison with a cold face.

Yin Zhao's face turned pale.

When he learned that Duke Anguo had broken into the Dali Temple and caused a death, he knew that something serious had happened.

Unexpectedly, these things were caused by the former heir apparent of the Marquis's mansion who was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison during the day!

Even if I had known he was determined to offend the Marquis of Ningyuan's family, I shouldn't have agreed to this!

Who would have thought someone would bribe the jailer to commit murder! And of all things, it just so happened that the ruthless Duke Anguo was caught in the crossfire!

He looked at the woman in purple in Qin Mo's arms, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

How could he possibly know that the former wife of the Marquis of Ningyuan's son was related to the Duke of Anguo!

Yin Zhao was so nauseous that he had no choice but to hurriedly bow and pay his respects.

"This humble official greets the Duke of Anguo!"

Qin Mo's brows furrowed with a chilling murderous aura. Only when he stepped into the candlelight, dressed in a dark brocade robe, could one see that the edges of the bloodstains were tinged with a dark red!
