Peerless Physician: The Path of a Foolish Eldest Daughter's Rise to Power

Chapter 390 Spending the rest of my life in regret

Ling Yazi's expression was filled with grief and indignation, tinged with sorrow. "You are my junior brother!"

But why did you do such a cruel thing, causing my wife and children to be separated, and shattering my once happy and fulfilling family?

Che Qianzi trembled slightly and stammered, "Senior brother, I was wrong."

Ling Yazi's eyes reddened, and her hands clenched into fists until her knuckles turned white. "Do you know how important innocence is to a woman? It's more precious than her life!"

Yu'er was originally such a pure, kind, gentle and virtuous woman.

How could you be so heartless as to do such a thing and ruin her reputation?

This will forever condemn her to a life where she can never hold her head high in this world, and will only be able to stay away from her closest loved ones.

Che Qianzi raised his head, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, and retorted with a touch of urgency, "You keep chasing after me, why don't you go and find Yu'er?"

Ling Yazi looked grief-stricken and angry, saying, "I've been chasing after you relentlessly just to find out what really happened."

I want to know what exactly made you do such a heinous thing.

But you, not only did you not tell me the truth, you even dared to poison my tea!

If it weren't for my profound spiritual cultivation, I would probably have already perished.

My master's wife forbids me from going to see Yu'er. She says that my presence before Yu'er will only increase her sins and drive her to her death.

As Ling Yazi spoke, she slowly closed her eyes, two lines of clear tears sliding down her cheeks, her face still calm and serene.

Only then did he finally understand what his teacher's wife meant by sin.

If she were to appear before Yu'er, Yu'er would surely feel that she had betrayed their love.

Ling Yazi raised his head slightly and murmured to himself, "Yu'er, do you know that as long as you live well, no matter where you are or what you become, I will be content."

Two years after Yu'er left, he went through many hardships and finally found her.

He could only see Yu'er's figure from afar.

She seemed to live a peaceful and carefree life, as if time had been exceptionally kind to her.

He stood quietly not far away, his gaze fixed on Yu'er, as if trying to etch every detail of her into his heart.

In the end, he chose to turn away silently, not wanting to disturb her peaceful life, only hoping that she could continue to be happy like this.

As night fell, Gu Xinyue arrived at the villa.

The flowers and plants in the courtyard cast dappled shadows under the moonlight, and a gentle breeze carried a faint fragrance of flowers.

She went inside, and there sat Cheqianzi, her eyes somewhat dim, as if she were deep in thought.

When Che Qianzi saw Gu Xinyue enter, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He slowly began to tell Gu Xinyue his story, his voice low and tinged with a sense of vicissitude.

His story is filled with intrigue, scheming, and helplessness. He recounts how he colluded with Zhou Xiang and Hu Ying, gradually sinking into the abyss of evil.

Gu Xinyue listened quietly, her expression gradually becoming serious.

After Che Qianzi finished telling his story, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but shake her head slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment and condemnation. She said in a cold voice, "You colluded with Zhou Xiang and Hu Ying, harming countless innocent lives. Even punishing you ten thousand times wouldn't be too much."

Her words were like cold, sharp swords, piercing straight into Che Qianzi's heart.

Che Qianzi was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, a hint of expectation in her eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, will my hand be healed?"

His voice trembled slightly, as if this was his last glimmer of hope.

Gu Xinyue looked at him with a mixture of pity and helplessness in her eyes. She said slowly, "Afterwards, you will look like a normal person, but you can no longer use your powers or do strenuous exercise."

After hearing this, Che Qianzi felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he slumped into his chair, remaining silent.

His heart was filled with remorse and despair. He had committed so many crimes for the sake of so-called power and profit, and now he had ended up like this, which was entirely his own fault.

Looking at Che Qianzi's appearance, Gu Xinyue felt a complex mix of emotions.

She frowned slightly and continued, "You know perfectly well that your master's wife likes your master, so why don't you treat her as your closest sister and live happily ever after?"

"They're dragging so many innocent people into this conspiracy." Her tone carried a hint of disappointment.

Gu Xinyue didn't want to say anything more to him. In her opinion, letting him die was too easy for him. She wanted him to spend the rest of his life in regret.

In that remote border region, there is an inn that looks ordinary yet exudes a mysterious aura.

The inn is situated beside a quiet path, surrounded by green mountains, with the occasional clear bird song adding to the tranquility.

At this moment, in a private booth by the window on the second floor of the inn, Chu Hongzhi and Chu Yize sat facing each other. On the table in front of them was a set of antique tea set, and the aroma of tea filled the air. The two sipped their tea and chatted about life.

Chu Hongzhi gently put down his teacup, looked at Chu Yize across from him with a gentle gaze, and said earnestly, "Yize, your father passed away peacefully. He was at ease with Jingyu, and he was confident that he could support the Great Leap Forward."

Chu Yize bowed slightly, his eyes filled with gratitude, and respectfully replied, "Thank you for telling me this, Imperial Uncle."

Chu Hongzhi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "Finally, the world is at peace. These past ten years have truly been a turbulent time."

That Zhou Xiang, for the sake of a treasure map that never existed, didn't hesitate to provoke conflicts between nations, plunging countless people into the flames of war and causing immense suffering.

Upon hearing the words "non-existent treasure map," Chu Yize's heart stirred slightly.

It seems that Zhou Xiang's search for the treasure map has been conducted in secret, and not many people outside the area know about it.

As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. Once someone has done something, it's impossible for them not to leave any trace.
