Chapter 565: Chapter 575: Beauty Under the Moon

Perhaps it was not that he couldn’t infiltrate the matters of that year, but rather that the opponent was too strong, their background too complicated. They were so powerful that he couldn’t shake them, and their situation was so complex that his influence couldn’t penetrate.

Act cautiously, yes, one should act cautiously.

Gu Youyou patted her forehead and sighed. This place was nothing like Qingshui Town or Taohua Village, nor like Lingnan. This was Beijing. Having been here for so long, she shouldn’t always use modern thinking to consider the problems of the ancient times. If she didn’t integrate herself, she indeed wouldn’t even know how she’d die.

"Zijin, you’re right," she wrapped her arms around his neck again and said, "I just can’t wrap my head around it at the moment. After all, I’ve spent over twenty years there, and my personality has long been formed. But don’t worry, I’m quick to learn, and I won’t cause you any trouble."

Jin Zijin smiled and said, "Knowing the times, understanding when to advance or retreat, that’s good."

Gu Youyou said, "But don’t get smug, okay? I agree with your advice because I think these little details are trivial and won’t cause injury. I can do that, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have a line I won’t cross. If someone goes too far with me, I will fight back with my own methods to the end."

"Hmm, you are someone with principles," Jin Zijin didn’t argue with her further and instead carried her to the bed.

"It’s late, and you’re not well. You should rest soon."

Looking at the pitiful brush lying on the ground, Gu Youyou said, "But I haven’t finished writing yet."

Jin Zijin frowned. He couldn’t understand a thing Gu Youyou wrote, and he didn’t like this feeling, as if there was a barrier between them.

He said, "Just tell me whatever you want to do. Why must you insist on doing everything yourself?"

Gu Youyou replied, "I have to do this myself, it’s something that could save both our lives. Xuanzong must be keeping a tight watch, and since we can’t just throw Jin Ziyuan and you into a furnace to boil, after much thought, I still think my method is better."

"How confident are you?"

Gu Youyou’s face darkened as she said, "Before I make it happen, I hate it when people ask me how confident I am."

Jin Zijin: "..."

"Alright, let’s sleep."

Gu Youyou turned over and said, "Just like that, we’re going to sleep? Did you forget to say something to me?"

"Hmm, you handled the Jie Family incident well."

"What else?" Gu Youyou huffily stuffed a pillow at him.

"The Imperial Family’s daughter-in-law will have their body inspected by a matron before getting married."

"Ah...?" Basically ## screwed.

Gu Youyou was at a loss for words.

"I don’t want you to be criticized."

Shoot...

The revolution has not yet succeeded; the effort must continue!

...

At the Octagonal Pavilion, a beautiful woman gazed downward with a contemplative look. In her hand under the moonlight was a damaged green collar ribbon, and she anxiously waited for her maid to bring the needle and thread to mend it.

"Madam, here are the needle and thread." Two maids came, one holding a basket filled with various silk threads, the other holding a palace lantern.

"Quick, give them to me." The beauty carefully set down the collar ribbon, took the basket, and selected the right color.

The other maid moved the palace lantern closer to help her discern the colors more clearly.

But the light was still inadequate. The woman tried several similar silk threads, but was not satisfied, her elegant eyebrows knitted together in frustration.

The maid by her side whispered, "Madam, this collar ribbon is made of silk from Jinxiu City’s Jin Family and embroidered by the Yu Family. I’m afraid... we will not be able to mend it properly."

"Jin Family, Yu Family?" The woman looked at the collar ribbon with distress and asked, "Then you two shall go to Jinxiu City first thing in the morning and ask the Jin and Yu families to mend this ribbon for me."
