PDLP Chapter 429 Princess Yi's Daughter
Chapter 429 Princess Yi's Daughter
Qin Suyi, who was dying, was so painful that her whole body was numb. She burst into tears of despair when she heard these words.
"Was it Lu Lingsong who hit him?" Jiang Ningwan asked.
Qin Suyi nodded, not even having the strength to speak.
Nanny Xun, who had fainted in the carriage, woke up when she heard the noise, climbed out of the carriage, and was heartbroken when she saw this scene.
"Suyi..."
The guards quickly stopped Nanny Xun and prevented her from getting off the carriage.
Jiang Ningwan saw that Doctor Hong had almost finished bandaging the wound. "It's not a good idea to stay on the roadside. The only temple nearby is Xuanyue Temple. Let's go to the temple first!"
Doctor Hong agreed.
Then several people carried Qin Suyi onto the carriage and rushed to Xuanyue Temple.
In the carriage, Nanny Xun burst into tears.
After arriving at Xuanyue Temple, Jiang Ningwan explained his purpose. The abbot was a little surprised and immediately called for help to carry the two seriously injured people into the meditation room in the backyard.
Jiang Ningwan thanked the abbot, "Thank you for taking us in. Could you please prepare some water and food?"
The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, you saved a life. How can a Buddhist not perform a convenient ritual?"
"Water and food will be delivered soon. If you need anything else, please feel free to ask."
After saying that, the abbot glanced at Qin Suyi lying on the bed, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"I hope this girl can save her life."
Jiang Ningwan was puzzled. "That was the one the abbot saw this morning, right?"
"She's not dead."
The abbot clasped his hands together, lowered his eyes and said, "This girl was sent here by a group of men in black. They said they wanted to save her soul, otherwise they would destroy the entire Xuanyue Temple."
"After I finished praying for her soul to be reborn, I realized she was still breathing. I knew I was powerless to save her, so I could only give her a small golden pill."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan finally understood that Qin Suyi was so seriously injured, but she had stayed in the mass grave for a whole day and was still alive and had the strength to call for help.
It was because the Xiaohuan Golden Pill given by the abbot extended her life.
"I see!"
All night long, everyone was concerned about Qin Suyi's life or death.
Jiang Ningwan and Doctor Hong also tried their best.
After Qin Suyi regained consciousness, she spoke weakly, "General Jiang, I want to talk to you alone."
Jiang Ningwan nodded.
Then the others left the room.
Jiang Ningwan squatted beside the bed, "Go ahead."
Jiang Ningwan was not sure about Qin Suyi's injury. She had done everything she could, but whether she could survive depended on Qin Suyi's luck.
"Thank you for saving me. I probably won't be able to return to Kyoto alive. I hope you can tell my brother that I saved some silver in my old place. There are three thousand taels of silver, which I buried under a locust tree."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan clenched her palms.
"You want to leave this money to Qin Beihuang, why?"
Qin Suyi found her question a little funny, "He is my brother. If it weren't for him, how could I return to Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Jiang Ningwan pressed on, "Why? Are you so sure that Qin Beihuang didn't harm you?"
"That time at Tianxing Tower, you deliberately pushed me down from the building. Did Qin Beihuang teach you that?"
"And the meeting with Jiang Zhouye by the lake and the deliberate falling into the water was also Qin Beihuang's instruction, right?"
She didn't suspect it was Qin Beihuang at first until she heard Nanny Xun say that Qin Beihuang turned a blind eye to Qin Suyi's injury.
Then she believed that Qin Beihuang did not really love his sister, but was just using her to achieve some goals.
Qin Suyi's eyes dimmed. "Actually, my brother just wanted to reconcile with you. His method was a bit extreme, but I think he truly repented."
"As for Jiang Zhouye, he just wants me to marry into a good family."
"He said, General Jiang, you are a heroine. The people around you are loyal and responsible. Your cousin Jiang Zhouye doesn't have many sisters. If I marry him, I will only enjoy the happiness and not follow the rules."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan frowned, "You don't suspect he's lying to you because you and he are half-sisters."
Qin Suyi was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled palely.
"You actually discovered it. General Jiang is indeed very clever."
"I am the daughter of Princess Yi."
"My brother said that we were born from the same mother, so we are real siblings."
"He wanted to take me back home to live with him, but the Yi Wang Mansion's surname is Qin, so I had to lie and say I was Yi Wang's illegitimate daughter, so that I could return with a legitimate reason."
Sure enough, it was just as Jiang Ningwan thought.
But it sounds like Qin Beihuang is really doing this for Qin Suyi's own good.
But the facts are clearly the opposite.
"Did Qin Beihuang say anything else to you? Did he give you any special instructions?"
Qin Suyi was silent for a while and thought about it.
She said, "My brother said that we must not let others find out that I am the daughter of Princess Yi. Otherwise, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and my whole family would suffer."
"So I must bite to death, I am the daughter of Prince Yi."
"I want to tell people that Prince Yi often visited me, and let everyone think that I was the one Prince Yi couldn't let go of before his death, so that everyone can see how much Prince Yi values me."
"I won't bully me or doubt my identity."
After listening, Jiang Ningwan frowned and pondered.
This doesn't sound strange.
I always feel that this matter should not be so simple.
Suddenly, Qin Suyi said, "Lu Lingsong, besides venting his hatred towards me, he also whipped and tortured me, forcing me to ask if Prince Yi had given me anything before his death."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyebrows jumped.
"Then what do you say?"
When Qin Suyi thought of the torture she had suffered at that time, she was so frightened that she burst into tears again.
"I'm afraid. I said I gave it to you."
"He forced me to hand it over, but I said I was still young and that the things Prince Yi gave me were all kept by Nanny, who buried them with me when she died."
"But he still beat me... He broke my legs and threw me into a mass grave."
Jiang Ningwan frowned, now she was certain that Lu Lingsong tortured Qin Suyi not only because of his hatred for Qin Beihuang, but also for something else.
What on earth is this thing?
Is it worth it for Lu Lingsong to take such a big risk, torture the princess severely, torture her to death and throw her into a mass grave?
"Where is that nanny buried?" Jiang Ningwan asked.
"Qingxi Village, Xiangliu Town, on the hillside next to the waterfall."
Jiang Ningwan took note of it silently.
I plan to go back and check if the grave has been disturbed.
"Prince Yi has never visited you, so this thing doesn't exist. Are you making it up?"
Qin Suyi replied, "My brother taught me that."
"He said that after Prince Yi died, many people were eyeing his belongings and might ask about related matters. He was afraid that I would reveal the truth, so he asked me to say that I was buried with the nanny."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was certain that Qin Beihuang had taught her this on purpose.
Qin Suyi didn't realize at this moment that she was being tricked by Qin Beihuang.
"Qin Beihuang is not a good person. If he really cares about you, he would not ignore your call for help." Jiang Ningwan said coldly.
Qin Suyi was incredulous and shocked, "How did you know I was asking for help?"
"That's what Aunt Xun said."
Qin Suyi's tears flowed again, her voice choked with sobs, "The nanny who took care of me since I was a child also had the surname Xun."
Jiang Ningwan was shocked, "Is it the same person?"
Qin Suyi shook her head, "No."
"Nanny Xun from Prince Yi's Mansion. I had never seen her before I returned to Prince Yi's Mansion."
