Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 51 The Second Failure Since Traveling Through Time
In the quiet forest, there are only the chirping of insects and the occasional bird calls.
Gu Zhilan had been wandering alone in the deep mountains and dense forests for several days. Looking down from her perspective, it happened to be the Hangzhou wharf.
She saw with her own eyes that more than a dozen ships loaded with opium were surrounded by heavy troops...but the opium was never unloaded.
She narrowed her eyes hatefully.
This was the second time she failed since she traveled through time...and this failure completely destroyed everything she had planned in the past.
From Qi Xun's wedding night, everything seemed to be out of control.
What a great plan to kill two birds with one stone, but somehow Shen Xiyue and the prince escaped... and she was forced to flee to Jiangnan.
All the traps she set up along the way were also escaped by Murong Xuan. Now that her money-making opium business that she had painstakingly planned was exposed, it seemed that those brothels could not be saved.
Gu Zhilan was unwilling to give in, so she clenched her fists, pinching her palms with her long nails, oozing out traces of blood.
As a girl of destiny who traveled through time and space, although she was only dressed as a lowly peasant girl and did not get a good hand, she believed that she had some means and plans.
So she entered the brothel without hesitation, recited a few poems of Liu Yong, and as expected, she became the most beautiful courtesan in Tianxiang Tower and made a name for herself.
Later, she met Qi Xun in Tianxiang Tower, and naturally they fell in love with each other.
She really likes Qi Xun, who is elegant and gentle, like a fairy and jade, and he treats her deeply.
Until Shen Xiyue suddenly appeared in the capital, took advantage of the Shen family's military power, snatched Qi Xun away, and destroyed her dream of being with Qi Xun for the rest of her life.
That was her first failure.
Gu Zhilan looked up at the sky. The dark sky was dotted with stars, which was a very beautiful scene. However, a crazy smile suddenly appeared on her extremely pure and harmless face.
She yelled at the sky, "God, are you blind? Open your eyes and take a good look. Stop asking people to block my way!"
"Go over there and have a look... there's a sound..."
"Be careful! Don't let him get away!"
Gu Zhilan immediately covered her mouth with her hands in fear, turned around and ran into the mountains. Her skirt got caught on thorns and tore her clothes with a "swish" sound, but she didn't care.
Insects bit her exposed skin, but she endured the pain without making a sound.
Until there was no escape left, with only a cliff in front of her and the sound of pursuit behind her getting closer and closer. Gu Zhilan lowered her head to look at the bottom of the cliff. It was pitch black, and she could only vaguely hear the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
She was so scared that her legs went limp.
"Just ahead, grab her!
There was hatred in Gu Zhilan's eyes. No, she couldn't be caught like this. She gritted her teeth, turned around and jumped off the cliff.
......
In the study of Cheng Mansion.
Shen Xiyue was discussing with Murong Xuan how to destroy the opium.
The dozen or so ships were loaded with at least several hundred kilograms of opium, which needed to be dealt with. Shuang Ye suggested, "Why not just sink it into the water?"
Before Shen Xiyue could say anything, Shuang Ye denied himself again: "...No, what if someone desperately tries to fish it out?"
Buried in the ground? Same concerns...
Fire? That would be even worse. Once it starts burning, the entire city of Hangzhou would be engulfed!
Shen Xiyue's eyes were solemn. When she was in Western Xinjiang, there were people from Dian City in her father's army. She had heard them talk about how to deal with opium.
"With lime water."
Frost Leaf became more and more curious: "Lime water? How to deal with it..."
As he was speaking, Mao Ping's voice came from outside, and Murong Xuan said, "Come in."
Mao Ping came here at dawn just to report the news of finding Gu Zhilan in the mountains: "Your Highness, Princess, we have already found Gu's trace in the mountains, but she refused to give in and jumped off the cliff. I think her body and head are separated now."
They were just a little bit away from catching the person, and Maoping felt a little guilty for not being able to complete the orders of His Highness and the Princess.
"Jumped off a cliff and died?"
When Shen Xiyue heard what Mao Ping said, she frowned slightly, as if she was a little surprised. She looked at Mao Ping and asked, "Did you see her jump with your own eyes?"
Mao Ping nodded quickly: "Yes."
Shen Xiyue was stunned. Did Gu Zhilan just jump off a cliff and die so easily?
She couldn't believe it.
Murong Xuan said calmly: "If they are alive, I want to see them. If they are dead, I want to see their bodies. Just seeing someone jump off a cliff means that they are dead. Is this how I usually teach you to do things?"
Mao Ping suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Yes, I saw that the cliff was hundreds of feet high and the river water at the bottom of the cliff was icy cold, so I thought that Gu must have died without a complete body..."
Murong Xuan sneered: "It's just a trick to cut off the tail to survive. Whether it lives or dies depends on God's will... Keep looking."
Mao Ping quickly responded: "Yes."
As soon as Mao Ping left, no one spoke in the room for a while and it became quiet.
Shen Xiyue felt very confused and had no energy to discuss matters anymore. Murong Xuan gave Shuang Ye a look, and Shuang Ye immediately said tactfully that he would go and prepare hot water for Shen Xiyue's bath, and then left.
"Xiyue, come here." Murong Xuan waved at Shen Xiyue: "Come to me."
Shen Xiyue was confused and felt that his voice was bewitching. She sighed, stood up from the chair, walked a few steps to his side, and sat on the couch beside him.
Murong Xuan raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulders, asking her to lean on him, and asked her gently, "Are you afraid?"
Shen Xiyue sighed imperceptibly, with some helplessness and frustration: "It's just that these days I have always wanted to find this person as soon as possible and take her life. Now that the final step has come, I am worried that God is really on her side and protecting her."
Murong Xuan chuckled and squeezed her shoulder hard: "I always believe that everything is in our hands. Even if God doesn't stand on your side, I will still stand by you."
Hearing this, Shen Xiyue suddenly felt that her lost courage returned to her. Even if God was not on her side, she would never admit defeat.
-
Two days later, I guess the workers at the dock had finally rested.
Shen Xiyue and Murong Xuan went to the Hangzhou wharf.
Mao Ping directed the workers to dig a huge pit on the ground by the river, filled it with lime, poured boxes of opium into it, and then let river water flow in. The entire pit instantly became boiling.
After all the opium has been destroyed, the pit will be dug up and the flowing river water will carry away all the waste.
The pit was then backfilled, and after a few waves, all traces were covered up without a trace.
