In my past life, I was buried alive! Reborn, I'll overturn the capital.

Chapter 145 Choose 2 from 1

Whether in the past or now, the mute girl cannot accept that her husband is the traitor. She always believes that Qin Xuanyu was jealous and deliberately framed him.

"Qin Xuanyu, you've twisted the truth and deserve to die a horrible death! Even if I can't kill you, I'll never let you go!"

The mute girl was actually starting to waver, but her long-held obsession made it hard for her to accept.

In her heart, her husband was everything to her, the person she respected most, and there was absolutely no way she would do such a thing.

But everything that followed made her waver and doubt.

So she hid in this desolate place, staying with her husband. If Qin Xuanyu hadn't come, her resentment and hatred wouldn't have been reignited.

Unable to do anything to Qin Xuanyu, she then saw Jiang Qingyue and, remembering their purpose, couldn't help but smile.

"You want the Three-Colored Moon Essence? Let me tell you, dream on! Little girl, although I don't know what your relationship is, let me tell you, if you have someone to blame, blame Qin Xuanyu. I'd rather die than give you the Three-Colored Moon Essence!"

Thinking of this, the mute girl smiled triumphantly. In her opinion, she had won, and won very well.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at them triumphantly.

Jiang Qingyue frowned, pondered for a moment, and her expression turned very unpleasant.

She turned to Qin Xuanyu angrily, "I told you I was coming alone, but you insisted on coming. Now look what happened! It's all your fault! If my grandfather dies, I will never forgive you!"

Jiang Qingyue suddenly yelled at Qin Xuanyu.

Qin Xuanyu was taken aback, but when he saw Jiang Qingyue's eyes, his expression softened. "I kindly accompanied you here, and you don't even appreciate it? Besides, without me, would you have been able to get here? You wouldn't even have had the chance to come in. Your grandfather would have died anyway, so how can you blame it on me? You're being completely unreasonable!"

"I'm being unreasonable? That's my maternal grandfather! Is it wrong for me to want to save him? Qin Xuanyu, if it weren't for you, I would have married the Crown Prince long ago, and things wouldn't be like this now."

Jiang Qingyue pressed on relentlessly, and Qin Xuanyu refused to back down. The two argued back and forth, getting into a heated argument.

The mute girl looked at the situation before her and sneered.

Let them argue, the bigger the better! If she's not having an easy time, Qin Xuanyu won't have one either.

However, she couldn't be sure whether they had really argued about it or if they were just putting on an act to lower her guard and trick her into taking away Three-Colored Moonflower.

"Alright, stop arguing. I have a plan. If you can do it, I'll give you the Three-Colored Moon Essence." The mute girl revealed a strange smile, looking at Jiang Qingyue, waiting for her answer.

Jiang Qingyue's eyes turned cold. "You speak."

The mute girl struggled to get up, took out a dagger from under her pillow, and handed it to Jiang Qingyue. "This dagger is coated with an incurable poison. If you can use this dagger to kill Qin Xuanyu, I will give you the Three-Colored Moon Essence."

Jiang Qingyue hadn't expected that the mute girl would actually persist until she was dead. She stared at the dagger in front of her and remained silent for a moment.

"What, are you just putting on an act for me?" The mute girl saw through Jiang Qingyue at a glance and sneered.

Although she had no hope, she was absolutely happy to cause them trouble.

Jiang Qingyue slowly took the dagger and hesitated before speaking, "He came in with me, and his men know that. If he dies here, even if I get out, I will not escape death, and I will not be able to save my grandfather either."

“I can testify for you. Besides, no one else saw it with their own eyes. The swamp is full of formations, so it’s perfectly normal for him to die in one of them.” The mute girl walked to Jiang Qingyue’s side, put one hand on Jiang Qingyue’s shoulder, and said.

Jiang Qingyue was in a predicament, caught between a rock and a hard place.

She wanted to save her grandfather, but definitely not at the cost of harming Qin Xuanyu. That's why she resorted to this desperate measure, pretending to argue. Qin Xuanyu cooperated, but the mute girl was too wary. To be precise, she was too eager to kill Qin Xuanyu.

However, she was no match for Qin Xuanyu, but Jiang Qingyue was different. The fact that Qin Xuanyu was able to come with her showed that she held a different place in his heart.

Since that's the case, let them kill each other and die at the hands of their loved ones. That kind of pain should be more intense than their own.

"I can't beat him either," Jiang Qingyue said truthfully.

“It’s alright. If you die, I’ll bring medicine to save your grandfather. I mean what I say.”

Jiang Qingyue looked at the dagger in her hand and slowly walked towards Qin Xuanyu.

Qin Xuanyu couldn't help but frown, feeling a strong sense of unease.

His unease didn't stem from whether Jiang Qingyue would actually make a move. Based on his understanding of Jiang Qingyue, he knew she wouldn't. However, if she didn't make a move, the matter couldn't be resolved.

Therefore, Qin Xuanyu couldn't guess what Jiang Qingyue would do next, and that was what made him uneasy.

Thinking of this, Qin Xuanyu flashed to the mute girl's side, grabbed her by the neck, and revealed his killing intent. "I can kill you first, and then take the Three-Colored Moon Essence."

"Hahaha, but only I know where the Three-Colored Moon Essence is. Without me, you could search until you die and still not find it." The mute girl was not afraid of Qin Xuanyu's threat at all, and even took the initiative to meet him.

Qin Xuanyu's hands tightened involuntarily.

"You won't kill me, because you feel guilty, you value loyalty, you won't kill me!" The mute girl had completely grasped Qin Xuanyu's hand and was absolutely certain that Qin Xuanyu wouldn't make a move.

"you……"

“Dumb Girl,” Jiang Qingyue interrupted Qin Xuanyu, “You mean either I kill him and you give me the Three-Colored Moon Essence, or I fail and die and you bring the Three-Colored Moon Essence to save my grandfather, is that right?”

Jiang Qingyue spoke again to confirm.

Although the mute girl didn't understand Jiang Qingyue's intention in asking that question, she still nodded.

"Okay, I see."

Hearing Jiang Qingyue's calm reply, Qin Xuanyu's heart skipped a beat. In that instant, he understood Jiang Qingyue.

"Jiang Qingyue, you're not allowed!"

Qin Xuanyu immediately let go and turned around, but it was too late.

The moment he turned around, Jiang Qingyue had already pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into her own chest.

"Qingyue!" Qin Xuanyu rushed forward immediately, but he was too late. What he caught was Jiang Qingyue's fallen body.

"Qingyue, antidote pills, quick, antidote pills!" Qin Xuanyu remembered that Jiang Qingyue carried many different kinds of antidote pills, thinking that they would definitely come in handy.

Jiang Qingyue shook her head. "It's no use, I know."

"Why are you so stupid!" Qin Xuanyu was flustered and didn't care about anything else. He immediately pulled out the dagger to prevent the poison from continuing to seep into Jiang Qingyue's body, and then immediately helped her stop the bleeding.

While pressing on Jiang Qingyue's wound, Qin Xuanyu cried out to the mute woman, "Sister-in-law, please, save her! My life is yours!"
