Qin Fengyang's original intention was to leave herself a way out; once Qin Chuyu's life and death were tied to hers, she wouldn't believe they would be cruel enough to kill her.
This was a foolproof plan, but unfortunately... she encountered Gu Jiao, who didn't play by the rules.
If she were truly remorseful and pleaded earnestly, Gu Jiao might have considered letting her live for a few more days, yet she actually dared to threaten Gu Jiao with a child's life.
...
After coming out of the secret room, Gu Jiao was covered in blood, none of which was her own.
Having been a eunuch for many years and having privately punished countless palace maids, the eunuch Wei had never seen anyone treated quite like that.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
Eunuch Wei was practically stuttering.
Before he could finish, Gu Jiao took off her isolation gown and gloves, and left without a trace of emotion on her face.
After leaving the imperial palace, Gu Jiao returned to Bishui Alley for a while.
