Chapter 593: Chapter 604 He’s Not Alone

Everyone knows that to eliminate weeds one must pull them out by the roots; the existence of the Third Prince and the Young Prince has always been a thorn in the Emperor’s side.

"Can you find him?" Lin Xingyi asked again.

Gu Youyou thought for a moment, her face showing difficulty, and shook her head, "I can’t. He appears and disappears like a ghost, and is not easy to find. Jin Zijin and his group have been searching for him for a long time, the State Preceptor has been searching as well, and now the Imperial Court is also searching for him, but no one has caught him."

Lin Xingyi didn’t make it difficult for Gu Youyou, merely nodding lightly.

Indeed, so many people were looking for him. Gu Youyou, a young girl, how could she possibly find him unless he came to her of his own accord?

"The next time he comes to see you, you must tell your uncle," he said.

Gu Youyou nodded, "Okay!"

Soon Yue Rujing came out, and Official Li’s face was as pale as death, not knowing what Yue Rujing said to frighten him so.

As soon as Official Li came out, he hurriedly paid his respects to Lin Xingyi, saying, "This official was unaware that Doctor Gu is the niece of Master Lin, please forgive me, Master Lin."

"It’s no trouble," Lin Xingyi said indifferently.

Yue Rujing stepped forward, threw the vial to Gu Youyou, and said, "Take care of this and go."

Gu Youyou gave a dry laugh, paid her respects to Official Li, and hurriedly chased after Yue Rujing.

She hadn’t expected that her identity carried such weight within the bounds of Beijing; had he not come, it would probably have been difficult for just Lin Xingyi to handle things.

This was the Ministry of Punishment’s Prison, wherein countless high-ranking officials of Beijing have been convicted; he would give Lin Xingyi some face, but would definitely not compromise with Lin Xingyi the way he did with Yue Rujing.

...

After this incident, Gu Youyou was grounded once more.

This time it wasn’t just her aunt’s decision, but also her uncle’s grandmother’s, and even Lin Qianqing, who usually thought about going out, agreed.

The reason, well, Jin Ziyuan was wanted, his illness was the same as Gu Youyou’s, and she had the medicine he needed. To prevent that guy from seeking her out again, she needed to live within a circle of protection.

Actually, Gu Youyou wanted to say that if Jin Ziyuan truly wanted to find her, the Lin Residence would probably be like an unguarded place to him.

Gu Youyou didn’t believe Jin Ziyuan was alone; how could a single person evade pursuit by Jin Zijin and the State Preceptor? Every time he came to her, he arrived safely and departed safely. The Third Prince dared to rebel; he certainly wasn’t a common man. Although he had fallen and died, it didn’t mean all his former subordinates were gone.

When the Qing extinguished the Ming, remnants of the Ming dynasty lingered for quite a while.

To cause less trouble and set their minds at ease, this was fine too.

"Youyou, these are the snake poisons that were recently brought for you. What do you plan to do with them?"

Inside a small porcelain bottle, there was a little bit of snake venom, immensely precious.

This was a deadly poison, this little bit, enough for her to use for a long time.

Gu Youyou was confined within the Lin Residence, so her laboratory had been moved there as well.

"Wait here for me, I will be right back."

The weather had warmed up quite a bit, it was a time when orioles sang and grass grew, and flowers bloomed in profusion. The courtyard of the Lin Family was large, and her peculiar ’pet garden’ was located within the flower garden.

A horse was subjected to her experiments; Lin Qianqing had been appalled for a long time, saying that Gu Youyou was too cruel, to actually feed such a cute little horse such a deadly poison.

Gu Youyou didn’t want to either, but who made the effect on horses better than on mice?

Before long, she finished feeding the horse and went back, with Jin Zijin still sitting by the windowsill.

He said, "I heard that Miss Du has proposed a divorce to Official Jie, but Official Jie did not agree, and that Second Young Master Jie doesn’t seem to be in a hurry either."
