There was a general named Jin Yuan in Lingnan. After winning the battle, he led his troops back to Korea and deliberately bypassed Yangzhou to meet Qin Fang. After they met, Jinyuan naturally fell in love, and Qin Zhi also had feelings for him. After lingering for a few days, Jinyuan had no choice but to stay in Yangzhou for a long time. In order to be with Qin Zhi forever, he threatened the procuress as a general. After spending a lot of money, he finally betrayed Qin Zhi's status as a prostitute. But there is a tricky thing. He couldn't bring Qin Zhi home to Chang 'an as he wished. Because his wife is the daughter of the emperor's consort. His wife was born with a delicate and fierce character. She didn't let him get his hands on other women at ordinary times, and told him that as long as he was found to have ulterior motives, he would come to no good end.
Facing true love, Jinyuan decided to take risks. After returning to Chang 'an, he asked his confidants to buy a house in the suburbs, put Qin Zhian here, and set up another servant to wait on him, so that no one knew everything.
In the future, Jinyuan will go to live with Qin Zhi after a business trip, and then secretly go home at night.
Qin Zhi's temperament is smart. She grew up in a romantic place. It's her strong point to observe what she says and how she treats people. In addition, she is not greedy for money and often rewards people around her. Needless to say, she was more and more favored by Jinyuan, and even Jinyuan's personal attendants praised her.
Just as Qin Zhi gradually got used to the plain and free life day after day, Jinyuan fell ill, and his old injury recurred after years of fighting, which lasted for half a year. Jinyuan is bedridden at home, getting thinner every day. It seems that the disease is incurable. Not seeing Qin for a long time made him dream day and night. He wanted to meet Qin Zhi before he died, but he was afraid that his wife would know.
Jinyuan had a deep personal relationship with prison officials in the army, so he secretly sent his confidant to convey his thoughts and let the prison officials find a way. Although the prison officer didn't want to offend the royalty, he thought about the difference between life and death with Jinyuan, and lied to Mrs. Jinyuan, saying, "The general is very ill, and he needs to find someone who is good at waiting on decocting and mixing medicines, so he may get better faster. I just bought a maid. I have served the noble family for a long time, and my hands and feet are quick. I gave this handmaid to my wife and prayed that the general would be lucky. What do you think? "
Lady Jinyuan said, "Prison official, you are an honest man. If so, it won't do me any harm. Call the maid quickly. "
The prison official asked Qin Zhi to dress up as a maid to see Jinyuan. Unexpectedly, the plan was just about to be implemented when it was leaked by people around the prison guards. So Mrs. Jinyuan took dozens of servants, put the oil pan in the middle of the yard and set up firewood, which was very hot. When Qin Zhi arrived, he threw her into the boiling oil pan.
The bosom friend hurried to the bed and told her. Jin Yuan trembled and was terrified after hearing this. He quickly let his bosom friend slip out of the house, and reported to Qin Zhi to make sure to stop her from coming. Holding the hand of his confidant, he admitted weakly: "I am so selfish!" " How can you implicate her? God is lucky that I'm not dead. In any case, you must save her from the jaws of death, and remember never to think of me. Take this box. It contains my savings over the years. You escort your aunt to the south as far away as possible! "The bosom friend nodded tearfully and agreed:" Please cherish your health. Finally, even if I beat Mrs. Zhi to pieces, I will save her life to repay your kindness in meeting him! "
Poor Jinyuan is dying. From then on, he worried about Qin Zhi day and night and died within ten days.
Qin Zhi, escorted by his confidant, traveled south along the Yangtze River to Hankou. When the news of Jinyuan's death came, she couldn't help thinking about Jinyuan all the way, and said sadly to her confidant, "The general died because of me! The general is dead. What's the point of living alone? Although I can't help myself, I am infected by dust, but I am not a confused woman who doesn't know the righteousness. Without the general's mercy, how can I be reborn? How can there be a negative general with such kindness? " Say that finish, Qin Zhi decisively threw himself into the river.
It's too late for a confidant to stop him. He stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the rushing river, drew his sword and committed suicide.
