Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 108

The Changchun Garden Banquet was not pleasant, the emperor returned to the court early the next morning, and naturally the other courtiers also dispersed.

When Lin Jinhua went out, she happened to see Sun Wanwan who was talking to someone with red eyes. Sun Wanwan also saw her, and remembered that she threw herself into the water last night. , In the blink of an eye, she flew up the branch and became Concubine Ning!
Thinking of this, she became more and more unwilling, stepped forward and saluted perfunctorily, and then said loudly: "My daughter saw that the princess seemed to know the barbarian queen mother very well yesterday, and the warrior was released yesterday, because the princess and the barbarian queen mother made a plan. Are you intentionally embarrassing Jin Chao?"

Lin Jinhua has always known her outrageous and irrational logic, so she can speak so confidently without any causal relationship.

"The warrior was let out, is it embarrassing for the Jin Dynasty, or for the barbarians?" Lin Jinhua asked her back.

"Wangfei clearly stole the limelight yesterday..."

"That also represents Jin Chao's limelight." Lin Jinhua looked at her indifferently.

Sun Wanwan was choked, she gritted her teeth, and said: "The barbarian queen mother is clearly in collusion with you, otherwise why call you?"

Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "It seems that Miss Sun wanted to ask this question the most. Why did you say what you have? As for why the empress dowager called me, it was because I was favored by the empress dowager and got a piece of jade from her, that's all .”

Sun Wanwan sneered: "The concubine really has face, the queen mother will only give you favors..."

"Miss Sun also has face, because my concubine wants to reward you too." Lin Jinzhen watched her make trouble for no reason, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Come here, I will serve you."

Mo Feng had already prepared. Hearing this, he immediately went to the concierge to serve him with pens and ink, surrounded by many spectators.

Lin Jinhua quickly dropped a few words before smiling at her: "After thinking about it, this sentence is the only one that fits Miss Sun the most."

Sun Wanwan picked it up and looked at it. She didn't read much, so she didn't understand the meaning, but someone with a good intention read it out: "Auspicious rats have skin, but humans have no manners. Humans have no manners, so why not die?"

After he finished reading, a burst of laughter erupted on the spot, and Sun Wanwan hurriedly pulled the familiar lady and asked in a low voice: "What exactly does this mean?"

The young lady blushed, and explained in a low voice: "This word means that even a ground squirrel has skin, how can a person be shameless, if a person is shameless, he will die..."

After finishing speaking, Sun Wanwan looked at the mocking faces around her, tears came out, she just gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Jinhua: "The princess is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable."

"So this concubine will know how to advance and retreat." Lin Jinhua gave her a warning look. She came to the door again and again, and most likely there would be problems with the food and grass, but if they dare to do something about the food, don't blame themselves You're welcome!

After finishing speaking, Zhao Huaiyan came out from inside.

Seeing this, Zhou Weikang, who was on the side of the Duke's Mansion, hurriedly picked up what Lin Jinhua had written on the ground and presented it up. He was filled with righteous indignation and said, "My lord, look, this was written by the princess. It's really humiliating."

Xu Zhaozhao was flustered when he heard that, it was clearly Sun Wanwan who first came to make trouble, and he was so incapable of distinguishing right from wrong!
But before she could open her mouth, Zhao Huaiyan glanced at the paper, with a slight smile in her eyes, and said to Lin Jinhua, "Words are refined."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Weikang was startled: "My lord..."

Sun Wanwan also took the opportunity to say: "My lord, my daughter..."

"You have repeatedly disrespected the concubine, do you think the king doesn't know?" Zhao Huaiyan's smile faded, and he looked at her indifferently: "Disrespect to the concubine is disrespect to the king."

Sun Wanwan's words stuck in her throat. In front of so many people, does King Ning still protect her like this, and is he not afraid that outsiders will say that he was bewitched by a woman?

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Zhou Weikang who was on the side: "It's right for Duke Fu to leave the capital. If nothing happens, you don't have to come to the capital." After finishing speaking, he directly led Lin Jinhua into the carriage and left.

Zhou Weikang's face was flushed, and Xu Zhaozhao deliberately walked up to him and snorted softly: "Fortunately, you are also very ordinary, your knowledge is also very ordinary, and your character is also very ordinary..."

Yuan Shao looked at Xu Zhaozhao, who was acting like a child, before walking up to her side and asking, "Are you thirsty?"

Xu Zhaozhao immediately reacted, and said with a quick smile, "I'm thirsty, so I won't waste my saliva here, hum." After speaking, he left happily.

"you……"

"What's the matter? Mr. Zhou defends Miss Sun like this. I don't know. I thought that the Fuguo government would marry the Sun family. Mr. Sun is the pillar of the military department, and he is a perfect match for Mr. Zhou." Yuan Shao finished speaking. He left indifferently.

Zhou Weikang wanted to say more, but was immediately stopped by the servants beside him.The servant looked embarrassed and advised in a low voice: "My lord, I forgot, the Duke of the country ordered you not to have anything to do with the adults in the capital."

Zhou Weikang remembered this, he could only hold back his anger, got into the carriage angrily and left.

The ladies around Sun Wanwan also left, for fear of offending Prince Ning, after all, everyone knows which is more important between Sun's residence and Prince Ning's residence.

"Miss, let's go back first." The maid also felt embarrassed.

Sun Wanwan stomped her feet angrily, turned her head to see her, and punched her hard several times before she was a little discouraged, and said coldly: "Let's go to the Prince Yu's Mansion first." Thinking of the joy with King Yu before, Zheng Jiaojiao is now again She can't protect herself, maybe she can also marry King Yu and become Princess Yu.

She thought about it all the way, and when she reached the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, she found that there were many imperial guards in the palace. She felt strange, got off the carriage and asked, "What's the matter?"

The attendant glanced at her, and then said: "The emperor has ordered that the Ninth Prince Yu Wang be stripped of his title, and ordered to stay in the mansion to reflect on his mistakes."

"Then when will this thought last?" Sun Wanwan raised her heart.

"I don't know, no one is allowed to visit, Miss, please go back." After speaking, he turned cold and stern, and ignored her at all.

When Sun Wanwan heard this, she felt a chill all over her body. Her body was given to the Ninth Prince. If he was kept in confinement, what would she do?
"Can I..."

"No!" The guard yelled directly.

Sun Wanwan's face flushed with embarrassment, she gritted her teeth, and turned her head back to the carriage.She has to find a way to save the Ninth Prince, and he must marry herself!
Lin Jinhuai and his party also received news from Zhao Qing when they returned to King Ning's Mansion, which was expected. The emperor had suspected Zhao Qing for a long time, and now he gave him a positive answer through someone else's mouth. Naturally, he would not easily let Zhao Qing continue. To win over all forces.

Looking at her pensive look, Zhao Huaiyan rubbed her head and said softly: "You haven't rested well these days, so rest for a while, I'll go to the palace."

"The prince wants to see the queen?"

"Father returns to the palace, today is the day of her death." Zhao Huaiyan's tone was light.

Lin Jinhua saw that although his expression was indifferent, he was not without emotion, so she stepped forward and hugged him, and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't force yourself."

Zhao Huaiyan knew that she understood him, and the dull feeling in his heart seemed to be less. He stroked her cheeks, rubbed her little head, and said in a low voice, "She should have been here long ago. It's a good thing to go now." Otherwise, wait When the mother saw her, it was not like this.

Lin Jinhua nodded, slowly let go of him, and sent him out the second door before stopping.

Mo Feng followed at the side, looked at her with some sadness, and said softly: "Wangfei, do you want to rest for a while?" Presumably, he was also worried about the death of Princess Duanhui.

Lin Jinhua nodded wearily, and turned to leave when she heard a soft call.

She turned her head and saw Aunt Jun being lifted out by Mo Xue.

"She's eavesdropping." Mo Xue said lightly.

Lin Jinhua glanced at Aunt Jun and said, "You don't want to stay in the palace anymore?"

"I didn't eavesdrop..."

"I don't like people lying." Lin Jinhua interrupted her coldly.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jun immediately knelt down on the ground and lowered her head, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, so I beg Wangfei to spare me."

Seeing her trembling look, Lin Jinhua thought for a while, sent out all the left and right concubine De and forced people in, she might as well keep it, and said: "If there is a next time, you can pack your things and leave the palace by yourself." Lin Jinhua finished speaking indifferently , turned around and left.

It's just that Concubine De's mind isn't entirely on Lin Jinhua, but she's fighting against the Xu family.

After returning to the palace, the first thing she did was to get someone to urge Southwest to bring her niece, and the other thing was to meet the queen who was going to die today.

Originally, the empress should have died long ago, because it was not good to kill the mother of the country immediately because of receiving the envoys, so it was delayed until today.

In the remote cold palace, the scorching sun can't even reach this corner. The queen is sitting on the dusty couch in a white tunic. Gorgeous jewelry.

She watched Concubine De come over, she was no longer angry, she just sneered and saw: "Unexpectedly, I still went before you."

"Sister, why should you say that? You should have known the result from the very beginning." Concubine De sneered, and asked someone to move a clean stool. With the support of your natal family, you thought the emperor would take pity on you, but it's just a pity, the emperor is a ruthless person by nature."

"You knew it a long time ago?" The queen was surprised by this, she thought that Concubine De had always loved the emperor deeply.

"Of course I know." De Concubine smiled indifferently: "The women in the harem should also know that everyone in the world can love, but they can't love the emperor, but they still have to pretend to love so that even if they are abandoned, they won't fall behind. You will end up in the same situation, Sister Empress, you must be very heartbroken now, after fighting for so many years, you have lost nothing."

The queen didn't speak, and tears flowed slowly.

Concubine De stepped forward and handed her the handkerchief, then smiled and said: "But don't worry, after a while you'll die, you won't be able to feel anything."

"Do you think you can live to the end?" The queen sneered.

"Can't you? The emperor is going to make Kan'er the crown prince, but it's a pity that the queen's sister has never been able to conceive a child in her life." Concubine De said in a regretful tone.

The queen was not sad about this, she made the spice mixed with musk herself, because she knew clearly that the emperor would not allow her to give birth to her own child.

"Concubine De, you are too confident. You do have the support of the Xiong family, but as long as the Xiong family collapses, you will die." The queen is very sure of this, the emperor will not keep arrogance and never hide his ambition Defei's.

"The emperor will never do this, sister queen, it's getting late, if you want to die, you should hurry up, right? After you die, my sister will ask the emperor to keep your whole body." Concubine De said coldly, before Turned around and went out.

As soon as she left, the queen couldn't hold her elegance any longer, she fell from the couch and sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

All her life, she lived for the emperor. For him, she willingly sacrificed her mother's family and herself, but what she got in the end was death without a whole body.

When Zhao Huaiyan came, he just saw Concubine De come out.

Concubine De saw him, and said sarcastically, "Prince Ning came to see the queen off for the last time? It's really filial."

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her indifferently, then stepped past her and walked in.

At that time, I happened to see the queen crying bitterly.

"regret?"

The queen barely raised her head when she heard his voice, wiped away her tears and sneered, "What do you regret?"

"Back then, he secretly manipulated Concubine Jia and harmed Concubine Yin." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently.

The queen was slightly taken aback: "You knew it a long time ago? Then why didn't you kill me to avenge your mother?"

Zhao Huaiyan didn't make a sound.

The queen looked at his indifferent look, paused for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "You don't really think that I treated you well before, treating you like my own son, Zhao Huaiyan, you are such a poor wretch, you are a thief! Be a mother."

Zhao Huaiyan ignored her words, and just casually threw a bottle of medicine to her: "See blood to seal the throat." It was better than hanging himself to death in pain.

After speaking, he turned and went out.

The queen looked at the medicine he threw, and felt as if she had overturned the five-flavored bottle in her heart. She always thought that Zhao Huaiyan never regarded her as a mother, but she was wrong. She knew that he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside...

She beat her heart in pain, what kind of life has she lived in all her life, chaotic, muddle-headed, and didn't win anything.

She looked at the three-foot white silk in front of her and threw it onto the beam.

Zhao Huaiyan had just walked out of the cold palace gate, when he heard a soft cry behind him, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, he knew that the empress was dead.

He clenched his palms slightly, looked at the long and lonely corridor in front of him, walked slowly, his eyes were empty.

When the news of the queen's death reached the emperor's ears, he just hummed, and then continued to read the memorial with his head down. It seemed that whether the queen died was of no importance to him.

After a while, he raised his head: "Huai Yan went to see it?"

"I saw her for the last time." Eunuch An said carefully.

The emperor's face sank slightly, he put down the ink brush and said solemnly: "Tonight, I will call Concubine De to wait on me."

When Eunuch An heard the words, he knew that the emperor was angry and the prince went to see the queen, he was silently worried, and after he responded with a face, he immediately called someone to pass the news.

When Concubine De heard the news, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

The sensible court lady smiled and said, "Could it be that the emperor intends to promote the empress? After all, the empress is not here now, and our empress ranks the highest in the harem, and there is an excellent King Jing under her knee."

Concubine De thought the same way, and after a pause, she remembered what the emperor had said before, if the Xiong family continued to be strong like this, it would be impossible for the emperor to give the position to Kan'er, so he had to think of a way.

After thinking about it, he immediately said: "Order, please come to Beijing, Mrs. Xiong, and send a letter there as soon as possible."

The maid hurriedly responded.

During the three to five days after Empress Ci's death, the capital was quietly discussing this matter, and there were different opinions on guessing what the real reason was.

When Mo Yue came to see her, it happened that after the heavy rain last night, Lin Jinhua was checking the herbs in the medicine field, and she only asked her to answer by her side, and she was not an outsider.

Mo Yue responded, and then said in a low voice: "It's the Zheng family's business, the emperor has already ordered it."

"How to say?"

"Removed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, and ordered him to leave Beijing within three days. But Mr. Sun was promoted to the post of Minister of the Ministry of War temporarily." Mo Yue said.

Lin Jinhua paused slightly when she heard the words: "In this case, it's a waste of effort."

"However, there is another good thing. Master Jiang Qingshu has been promoted and will be transferred back to the capital soon. Tao Mou's case has been investigated and has nothing to do with Tao Mou. However, it has been found out that Tao Mou accepted bribes. Now Tao Mou has already been dismissed as the prefect, and will be transferred back to the capital soon to stand by." Mo Yue said.

Lin Jinhua slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better to have Jiang Qingshu around. As for Tao Mou, let people watch carefully, and don't allow him to get close to Ru Yan."

"Yes." Mo Yue replied.

After the people left, Lin Jinhua put down the herbs in his hand and went back to the room. After washing his hands, he thought for a while before asking someone to deliver the news to Lin Jincheng.

After Ah Bao finished making tea, a refreshing fragrance overflowed the room. Lin Jinhua glanced at her in surprise, and she immediately explained: "This was sent by Miss Xu before, and she said it was bought from Yinxianglou. The slaves are doing much better."

Lin Jinhua smiled when she heard that.

Mo Feng followed with a smile and said, "The Yinxiang Tower sent over 1 taels of silver last month."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded, it was rare to have so much money in such a short period of time.

She looked at the teacup lightly, still wondering if the people in the palace would let her go temporarily, but she didn't know that the Queen Mother's order would arrive soon.

When Lin Jinhua received the order, she was really dumb. The queen was dead, and the queen mother did not forget to send people to Prince Ning's mansion.

Eunuch Mo is also an acquaintance. Seeing her indifferent expression, he smiled and said: "Princess, you don't have to hate the Queen Mother. It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone His Highness Ning Wang. The side concubine chosen by the Queen Mother this time is the Queen Mother." Your natal family is the most knowledgeable, gentle and sensible, don't worry, she will never make you unhappy."

Lin Jinhua smiled and asked someone to give a reward, but asked about Ling Weiye's situation.

When Eunuch Mo saw that she still remembered Ling Weiye, he knew that she was a person who valued affection and wanted to please her, so he just smiled and said, "The little prince is fine now, don't worry."

"That's good. After all, the little county king is still young and has a bit of a naughty temper, so I'll trouble my father-in-law to take care of him." Lin Jinhua said politely before asking Mo Feng to send him away.

Mo Xue looked at her worriedly, and said, "The Empress Dowager is trying to please you."

"It's okay, just let her come." Lin Jinzhen was also in a panic in her heart, and just finished speaking, Mo Feng came back, but when she came, her steps were in a hurry, and there were people behind her.

As soon as Mo Feng approached, the man behind her knelt tremblingly on the ground, crying: "I'm sorry, miss, Cai'er... was taken away."

Lin Jinhua naturally recognized him as the old housekeeper's son and Cai'er's husband. Hearing this, anger welled up from the bottom of her heart: "How could you let her be taken away? Besides, aren't you guys doing well in Zhuangzi!"

"It's Cai'er. I heard that miss, you're getting married, and she insisted on coming to congratulate you. The little girl and she were supposed to arrive yesterday, but just as they were entering Beijing, a group of people rushed out and took her away." No, I managed to dodge it, and I only dared to come here quietly when I learned that you have returned home today." After he finished speaking, he wiped away his tears and looked at Lin Jinhua in horror and said, "Miss, please save Cai'er Well, she is already pregnant with a child..."

After Lin Jinhua heard this, her heart was already in a mess. Cai'er, whom she most wanted to protect, was kidnapped while she was pregnant.

But who will do it?Was Mrs. Yan still the Tao family, or the Sun family or the Zheng family?
She couldn't figure it out for a moment, Mo Xue saw that she was in a mess, and hurriedly said: "My maidservant, go to see Mo Yue first, and ask her if there is any news."

"Okay." Lin Jinhua nodded, and then held back her anger and said to the man, "If something happens to Cai'er, I'll be the first to let you go! You can't even protect your wife!"

The man also burst into tears, Lin Jinhua took a deep breath and said, "Take him down first."

Abao immediately asked someone to help him away, Lin Jinhua thought about it, and asked someone to prepare a carriage and go to Lin's mansion.

At that time, Wang Ruyan was talking to Mrs. Luo.

After Mrs. Luo was released from the prison, she became much less timid. After all, in the short period of time she was imprisoned, many high-ranking officials and nobles died in the past. It can be seen that the struggle for the heir apparent is becoming more and more fierce and dangerous. Only the favor of King Ning can live until now, and now he can be regarded as joining King Ning's camp and becoming a member of Seizing the Inheritance.

Seeing Lin Jinhua approaching, she immediately got up in a panic, which surprised even Wang Ruyan.

"Why is the princess here?" Wang Ruyan withdrew her surprise, turned around and greeted her, and then saw that Lin Jinyu's expression was not right, and hurriedly asked, "But something happened?"

"Is brother in the mansion?" Lin Jinhua asked.

Wang Ruyan shook her head: "Husband has gone on a tour of the city, and he won't be back until evening."

Lin Jinhua heard that she didn't know the news of Tao Mou's return to Beijing, so she just said, "Starting today, if you don't have your eldest brother to accompany you, you must not leave the house, and don't meet Tao's family, you know?"

"Jinhua, what's the matter?" Wang Ruyan asked worriedly seeing her like this.

Lin Jinhua was afraid of scaring her and the nervous Mrs. Luo, so she didn't say much, only gave some more instructions, and then went out directly.

After going out, she had a very bad premonition for the first time, which made her feel even more flustered now.

Seeing her anxious look, Mo Feng comforted her, "Princess, don't worry, although the capital is big, we have a lot of people, we will definitely find Cai'er."

"I hope so." Lin Jinhua put down the curtain of the car, thought for a while, and then said, "Go to Yan's house..." If it doesn't work, she will search one by one, and someone will reveal clues.

All afternoon, Lin Jinhua kept walking around the houses she thought were the most likely suspects, but there was no news, until finally she settled at Xu's house.

When she arrived at Xu's house, she was already very tired.

After Mrs. Xu understood what was going on, she only comforted: "I used to think that Cai'er is a lucky person, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Sister Jinhua, Cai'er will be auspicious." Xu Zhaozhao also comforted her.

Lin Jinhua forced a smile, but she couldn't explain why, she always felt that this time things would not be under her control.

dark night.

In the dark dungeon, when Cai'er woke up, her first reaction was to protect her stomach. Seeing that the child was still there, she let out a long sigh of relief.

But in this place where she couldn't see her fingers, she tentatively called out: "Is there anyone?"

As soon as she made a sound, a candle was lit not far away, and under the light of the candle, she realized that not far in front of her, there was a man sitting cross-legged facing her, with eyes as cold as poisonous snakes staring at himself.

She yelled out in fright, shrank back, and trembled when she leaned against the wall: "Who are you?"

"I'll tell you when you die."

The man opened his mouth, raised the knife in his hand coldly, and slashed at one of her arms.

The moon is cool.

It was already midnight when Zhao Huaiyan came to pick up Lin Jinhua.

Seeing that she had already fallen into a deep sleep because of running around, he picked her up carefully, nodded to the Xu family, and took her into the carriage to return home.

After going back, he put her on the bed and fell asleep before quietly exiting the room.

After waiting outside the room, he said to Mo Feng, "Have you not found out who did it?"

"I didn't find out. After those people kidnapped Miss Cai'er, they were all found dead outside the city. They were all unknown assassins. Maybe they were hired by someone. They didn't have any evidence on them, and they didn't live." Mo Mo Feng was also a little worried. With such methods and abilities, it was not like the hands of those ladies and wives in the capital, but more like a seasoned veteran. But now that the Ninth Prince has been confined in the mansion, it is impossible to appear... …

Zhao Huaiyan's complexion was slightly gloomy, and after a while Gao Zhi brought a brocade box and put it in front of Zhao Huaiyan and said, "My lord, someone asked a child to bring this and said it was for the princess."

Zhao Huaiyan had already smelled a strong smell of blood through the box. Hearing this, he glanced at Mo Feng, and Mo Feng knowingly stepped forward to open the box, but even she was frightened.

Looking at it, Gao Zhi saw that in the long box, there was a complete arm. According to the clothes and hands, it was not difficult to see that it belonged to a woman.

"Could it be Miss Cai'er's?" Gao Tian couldn't help feeling pity when he thought of that lively maid.

"This king is going out to take care of the princess." After finishing speaking, the figure has disappeared in the palace.

Inside the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Qing sat in the gazebo and burned incense. He didn't have this habit before, but now he wanted to use the fragrance to drive away the bloody smell on his body.

Hearing the sound of breaking wind, he poured a cup of tea and smiled slightly: "Brother Huang came too early..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan's fist landed on his face, causing him to fall directly onto the pillar beside him, and his face quickly swelled up.

Zhao Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at him who was rarely angry, and smiled lightly: "Sure enough, Lin Jinhua is your biggest weakness, and Lin Jinhua's weakness is the people who are close to her, even an ordinary maid..."

"Let him go." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly.

"Even if Brother Dahuang kills me today, I will not let him go." Zhao Qing looked at the murderous look in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "If you kill me, Emperor Father will receive my secret letter. The letter explained in detail why Lin Jincheng wanted to kill me..."

Zhao Huaiyan's hand on his side tightened slightly.

Zhao Qing stood up from the ground, sat down again, poured two cups of tea slowly, and said: "I don't want to do such a desperate thing, but you cut off all my escape routes, so I can only do this."

"You never said before that you want the throne." Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were cold. If he had said that he wanted that position from the beginning, he would have helped him up, but he and his concubine acted as if they didn't care. .

"Will you give it to me if I want it?" Zhao Qing didn't believe him: "If I start asking for it, maybe you won't care about me at all, and you won't teach me so many things unsuspectingly. Big brother, you don't have to It’s useless to say these things here. At this point, I’m no longer who I used to be. I only want that position now. Now I give you two options. One, let the emperor restore my title and let me go out, Two, I will kill everyone around Lin Jinhua one by one, and make her suffer until she dies!"

Seeing his shameless appearance, Zhao Huaiyan turned around coldly.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhao Qing turned his head to look at his back and said, "Brother Dahuang agrees?"

"Even if you go out, you will die in the hands of this king." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he walked away directly.

Seeing him leave like this, Zhao Qing felt a little uncomfortable, but he only took a few gulps from the jug on one side until he coughed from choking, and his eyes were wet, then he smiled sinisterly: "The winner is the winner." King, the loser is the bandit, wait for me to sit in that position, let me see if you will still look down on me like this!"

When Zhao Huaiyan returned to the palace, the sky had turned slightly white.

He walked into the room, looked at Lin Jinhua's deep sleeping face, and his heart became gentle. He sat on the edge of the bed, and gently placed his hands on her face.

Lin Jinhua was thinking about Cai'er's matter in her heart, and when she felt some movement, she immediately opened her eyes.

Seeing Zhao Huaiyan, he hugged his waist and mumbled, "My lord."

"I found Cai'er, and I'll bring her back later." Zhao Huaiyan gently stroked her long hair hanging behind her with a light smile.

"really?"

"En." Zhao Huaiyan saw her raise her head and looked at herself in surprise, feeling that everything was worth it.

Lin Jinhua wrapped her arms around his neck happily, and Zhao Huaiyan laughed and quarreled with her for a while before going to court.

As soon as he left, the smile on Lin Jinhua's face also faded, she could tell that he hadn't slept all night, everyone was nervous, and she could also tell that something must have happened to Cai'er.

Ah Bao still didn't know what happened last night. When Lin Jinhua came in to serve her, she had already changed her clothes, so she said with a smile, "Why is the concubine dressed so plainly today?" A pear-colored long skirt was accompanied by a goose-yellow tie , very fresh and elegant.

Lin Jinhua smiled faintly: "Where's Mo Feng Mo Xue?"

"The servant is here." Mo Feng still walked in when he heard the sound, and only smiled: "What orders does the princess have for looking for the servant?"

Lin Jinhua looked at the slightly deliberate smile on her face, and didn't make things difficult for her, and said, "Prepare the carriages and horses, let's go to Yinxiang Tower." Is her strength too weak after all, so weak that no one around her can protect her.

Seeing her like this, Mo Feng didn't dare to say more, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.

Aunt Xixi had been watching everything from the sidelines, and when she left calmly, she said to Abao: "If the princess is a man, she can make a career if she wants." She remembered that someone said this before, praising Princess Xianyue.It's just that Princess Xianyue is more fortunate. She was born in the royal family and was born a genius. Even the Emperor Xixia wanted to give her three points.

When Lin Jinhua arrived at Yinxianglou, the business of Yinxianglou was still very good.

Seeing her coming, Zhang Xiaofang went directly to the private room on the second floor to meet her. Seeing that she looked strange, she asked, "Miss, is something wrong?"

"How much money do you have in your account now?" Lin Jinhua asked directly.

Zhang Xiaofang immediately took out her account book to do the math, and said: "There are a total of one hundred thousand taels in the account, I will do the math, 5 taels will be used to expand in other places, and the remaining 5 taels will be given to others. Concubine Shizi, the rest is the turnover of the current shop. In two months, the money will be doubled. When the shops in other places are opened, it will be profitable. Within a year, the gross profit will not exceed It will be less than 30 taels." Zhang Xiaofang said excitedly after thinking about it, but the most important thing is that Yinxiang Building has borrowed the power of the concubine, and its development has been smooth sailing, and Lin Jinyu's men are not only selling this kind of thing, the tailor shop Silk and satin shops, pawnshops, and restaurants are all profitable businesses.Especially the money of these noble people is easy to make.

"So, you give Mofeng 30.00% of the profit every month." Lin Jinhua said.

Mo Feng was surprised, but Lin Jinhua only said: "I want you to hand over all the money to Mo Yue, so that she can quickly train and absorb more people. I want to build an organization as big as Shuiyun Jian within half a year!" As long as it can be solved with money, she will spend it with money, and she doesn't believe that it can't be solved.People make money and birds die for food. There are so many strange people and strangers in the rivers and lakes, there are always those who are willing to come. "

Mo Feng nodded, but was a little worried: "Although Mo Yue is capable, it may be difficult to control such a large organization."

"So I want you to do one more thing." Lin Jinhua said.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember the head of Qingshanzhai back then?" Lin Jinhua asked.

Mo Feng naturally remembered the man who disguised himself as a woman and made Gao Tian dare not get close to women for several months. She remembered very clearly, but this man was insidious and dangerous.

Mo Feng said: "Although this person is capable, he is not easy to control. He is very cunning and insidious."

Lin Jinhua still remembered how he was when he was dressed as a woman. He didn't think so before, but after studying with Que for so long, he probably guessed the reason why he was dressed as a woman. He just said, "Go and tell him, I can cure his illness." , let him come to see me in person."

"Illness?" Mo Feng was puzzled: "What kind of illness could he have?"

"A disease that cannot be explained to outsiders." Lin Jinhua said coldly, and then said to Zhang Xiaofang who was stunned: "Maybe the money is ready?"

"nature."

"Well, during this period of time, after you hand over the affairs of the capital to other people, you can leave the capital temporarily to set up other shops. In a short period of time, I may need a lot of money." Lin Jinhua said, the current situation It's getting more and more serious, and it will not take long for the reserve emperor to make a decision. When the reserve is confirmed, no matter whether it is Huaiyan or not, it will be more dangerous.

Zhang Xiaofang nodded quickly.The more she needs money, the more motivated she is!

Lin Jinhua walked to the side of the private room, looked at the bustling crowd, and fell into deep thought.

Zheng Fuzhong.

Zheng Jiaojiao hated Lin Jinhua so much now, and now that her father was dismissed, and King Yu was deposed from his title, although it wasn't all related to Lin Jinhua, it was more or less because of her.

She looked at her father who was packing her bags, and said unwillingly: "Father, are we really going to leave like this? You have worked hard all your life, and from being a high-ranking Minister of the Ministry of War, you are about to become a white man with nothing?"

How willing Zheng Qiong is, but at this juncture, he has to leave if he doesn't, so he said in a deep voice, "Don't mess around!"

"My daughter didn't mess around, she could have become Princess Yu..."

"Okay!" Mentioning Zhao Qing and Zheng Qiong got angry. It was just a small case, but he didn't care about him and let King Ning secretly manipulate him, leaving him with nothing now.

Seeing him getting angry, Zheng Jiaojiao turned her head and ran out in anger.

She just ran out the second door to find Zhao Qing, when she saw Sun Wanwan's brother and sister, whom she hadn't seen since the accident, came to the door.

Sun Qiukan and Zheng Jiaojiao looked at her well-developed body and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, where are you going?"

"You don't need to worry about it!" Zheng Jiaojiao didn't like the scrutinizing eyes in his eyes. If it wasn't for His Royal Highness Prince Yu, she would never talk to the two of them.

Sun Wanwan has had enough of being angry these few days. Hearing this, she sneered: "When you see this lady, you don't say salute, Zheng Jiaojiao, do you really think you are a high-ranking young lady? Let me tell you, my father is now an agent. After taking up the post of minister of the Ministry of War, you may be a righteous minister in the future, you'd better speak politely."

Zheng Jiaojiao turned blue with anger, and for a moment she forgot what Lin Jinhua had said, she could not get angry anymore.

She raised her finger to Sun Wanwan and said angrily: "Is a sparrow on a branch a phoenix? A sparrow is a sparrow, and it will never be on the stage for a lifetime!"

After scolding, her heart began to hurt, and she staggered a step back. Before her maid could support her, Sun Qiu stepped forward to hug her, narrowed her eyes and said, "Miss Zheng, you What's wrong?"

Sun Wanwan said contemptuously: "I'm used to pretending to be pitiful, but that's all, I didn't come here to trouble you today." After finishing speaking, she glanced at the maid beside her: "What are you still doing, take me to see your lords."

The servant girl looked at the young lady who was being hugged by Sun Qiu, and said anxiously: "Let go of my young lady first..."

"So what if I don't let go?" Sun Qiu hugged Zheng Jiaojiao even tighter on purpose, making her soft and close to his body, and he seemed to feel the beating through the summer's thin shirt temperature.

Just as he was triumphant, a dull cold drink came: "Don't let go! Do you really think that my Zheng family is the same as your rootless Sun family? Even if I, Zheng Qiong, are down and out, my Zheng family is a century-old family, how can I tolerate it?" You wait to bully!"

Zheng Qiong came quickly, and was about to ask someone to drive Sun Qiu brothers and sisters out, so he heard Sun Qiu say: "So, Master Sun doesn't want to become Master Shangshu again?"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Qiong was slightly taken aback.

Sun Wanwan took the opportunity and said: "We are here to let you make meritorious service. As long as you can do it, Father and Ninth Prince will have a way to make you become Minister of the Ministry of War again, but you have to agree to two conditions."

"The Ninth Prince has been grounded..."

"It will be released soon and the title will be restored, it depends on whether the adults are willing to help." Sun Wanwan felt a little bit of the pleasure of a villain, raised her chin high, and said condescendingly.

Zheng Qiong frowned when he heard this, but hesitated again: "What conditions?"

"One, promise Miss Zheng to me as my wife." Zheng Qiong said immediately.

Sun Wanwan glanced at him, but Zheng Qiong didn't immediately refuse, but said, "What about the two?"

Sun Wanwan waved her servants back, then lowered her voice and said: "Second, there is a problem with the grain and grass transported to the southwest, and my lord needs someone to take the blame."

"Who?"

"Xu Chengqing, the young minister of Dali Temple who has been imprisoned and humiliated until now!"
