Chapter 114

Zhao Qing's people quickly moved to force Mo Feng out of the city, and Zhao Qing's carriage also slipped out of the capital at this time.

Mo Feng saw that he had chosen the small road instead of the official road in a panic, and the corners of his mouth raised. Next, it depends on whether the Qingshanzhai and Dadangjia 350 seven brothers can stop the Ninth Prince.

in the palace.

It was still hot in midsummer outside, but the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was extremely cold.

Seeing that Xu Zhaozhao came back safely with Wang Ruyan, Xu Chengqing stepped forward and said, "Zhaozhao, are you injured?"

"No, fortunately the prince went there in time." After Xu Zhaozhao finished speaking, he immediately knelt down with the emperor and cried, "Your Majesty, brother-in-law Ning Wang is definitely not a bad star, he must have been forced to rescue him." A court lady."

The emperor didn't mean to blame her. Hearing this, he began to doubt Huijue's real purpose. He did all this as if to deal with Huaiyan. Could it be that some prince is behind him?
The emperor glanced at her, and said coldly, "Where is Huijue?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It's all because of my incompetence. Huijue was assassinated on the way here." The lord of the Ministry of Punishment immediately knelt on the ground and said.

"Assassination?" The emperor frowned. In this way, there must be someone else behind Huijue. Is he afraid that if he lives, he will be exposed?

Seeing this, Yuan Shao stepped forward to salute politely, and calmly said: "Your Majesty, when Master Huijue died, he quietly gave this letter to the minister." After speaking, he presented the letter with both hands.

The emperor glanced at Eunuch An, who immediately stepped forward to take the letter and brought it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the letter still stained with blood, then looked at the young Yuan Shao, and suddenly asked, "Why did Huijue even arrest you?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm blocking Master Huijue's way." Yuan Shao said slowly without any surprise.

The emperor glanced at him, and suddenly there was a smile on his face: "You are different from your grandfather, you are so stable at a young age."

Yuan Shao didn't make a sound.

The emperor asked someone to open the letter, but a crescent-shaped seal immediately fell out of the envelope, and the name at the bottom of the seal was Zhao Qing.

Huijue has been messing around for so many years, how could it be possible that she didn't hold any grounds?Ever since Zhao Qing approached him, he had been prepared to be killed at any time, but if he wanted to die, he would have to take a back seat.

Eunuch An held the seal over with trembling hands slightly. The emperor squinted, his face turned cold, and he raised his hand to read the letter. What was written in the letter was nothing more than how Zhao Qing came to the door and threatened him to treat Wang Ruyan and Ning Wang. The detailed process of the hands-on matter.

"A dignified national teacher, I didn't expect to be so affectionate. He was reluctant to let his family die, but he lost his own life." The emperor said coldly, and Hui Huijue's family members kneeled on the ground as soon as their legs softened.

The emperor looked at their pale faces and asked in a cold voice: "Do you know that Huijue is so deceitful?"

"The woman doesn't know anything, and he didn't tell us anything." The old woman still remembered what Chu Zhaozhao had told her, and shook her head in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, it is this Huijue who did the evil." Xu Boshan couldn't bear it a little bit and said: "And Huijue, a monstrous monk, has brought disaster to the country and the people, and now he dares to attack the majestic royal family, which shows his ambition. It is cheaper to die now, but I don't know who is behind him, but he dared to come up with such an evil method, to burn people alive at the root of the imperial city, and spread the word, wouldn't it make people think that my Jin Dynasty Emperor is a tyrant."

The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice: "Did you catch other people?"

"Reporting to the emperor, there were a lot of hidden arrows flying on the way here, and most of the people brought with them died, and the rest didn't know anything except trembling." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said honestly.

Hearing this, the emperor looked at the seal thrown aside, and slowly clenched his fist behind his back.

Just as he was talking, Lin Jincheng had already entered the palace.

The moment I entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I was surprised to see so many people there, "Uncle, Yan'er, why are you here?"

Seeing his surprise, the emperor asked him, "Don't you know?"

Lin Jincheng hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said, "Reporting to the emperor, someone handed me a secret letter early this morning, luring me out of the city, and I haven't heard anything from others until now when I return to Beijing." He remembered What Jinhua said to herself at the gate before, frowned slightly.

Wang Ruyan was still in shock, but seeing so many people there, she also knew that Jinhua must have a plan. Hearing this, she just lowered her eyes and wiped her tears.

Lin Jincheng was heartbroken, seeing the bruises on her wrists, and before the emperor could speak, he said sternly to him: "Your Majesty, my wife is timid and soft-tempered, she will never do anything, please Your Majesty must be aware!" After speaking, he kowtowed heavily.

Seeing his anxious look, the emperor relaxed his doubts a little, and said, "You are an infatuated, don't worry, it's not what she did, but someone almost killed her."

"What?" Lin Jincheng raised his head abruptly, his fists were already clenched and rattling.He has already sent someone to guard Yan'er at home, but someone wants to attack, who is so vicious!

The emperor saw him like this, so he stopped asking him if he knew. He only looked at the commander of the imperial guards on one side, and the commander stepped forward to greet him, and said: "Report to the emperor, when I go down to the official, it happens to be I ran into General Lin fighting with the rebels, and when I arrived, the two rebels had already been executed on the spot."

"Dead?" The emperor turned around and slowly sat behind the desk, looked deeply at Lin Jincheng for a while, and said, "Then I ask you, what are they looking for you for?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it was they who first lured the ministers to meet with each other with their letters, and then they vainly tried to persuade the ministers to conspire with them. If the ministers refused to agree with them, they wanted to kidnap the ministers by force. The ministers had no choice but to fight, but they lost their hands in the struggle and killed the two of them. I also ask the emperor to forgive me." Lin Jincheng said.

After hearing this, the emperor became less suspicious. If the person hadn't died, he would have doubted it, but now that the person was dead, he believed that Lin Jincheng didn't disagree with them for no reason, but the two should have been killed in the first place. After Huaiyan dealt with it, how could he survive till now?

"Since that's the case, I'll punish you for three months. Next time, don't be so reckless and keep your mouth alive." The emperor said plainly, as if he believed him, and he also believed in his own eyes. He could see all the changes clearly, it was indeed sincere and there was no trace of deceit.

Lin Jincheng saluted immediately, then looked at Xu Chengqing and the others worriedly, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake Master Xu and the others have made?"

Xu Zhaozhao's eyes were red, and now the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to cry. When she thought that there was no suitable young master in the capital, she burst into tears and cried to Lin Jincheng, "Cousin, it's Huijue who wants to burn me and my cousin to death." Sister-in-law, you also hurt the prince’s brother-in-law, but fortunately Huijue is dead, so the person behind him must still be in the capital, please the emperor to check it out.”

The emperor must be aware of it.

Not long after, someone came to report that the Ninth Prince's Mansion had been set on fire.

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?" Eunuch An on the side also asked strangely.

"I don't know. Now the fire has completely burned the study room, but the other places have not been burned. Now the people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion sent a message to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is no one in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Concubine De has been imprisoned again. Lenggong, this servant can only come to ask the emperor for instructions." The eunuch who was talking back and forth knelt on the ground nervously.

Hearing this, the emperor looked at the seal on one side, and felt even more suspicious. He burned the study room with the most materials, because he was afraid of revealing something.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ning and Princess Ning have already arrived outside the palace." Someone came to report.

Hearing this, the emperor only said in a deep voice: "Let them go to the side hall to rest first, and I will summon him later."

"Yes."

The eunuch retreated, the emperor looked at so many people in the room, and then said: "Xu Aiqing, Lin Aiqing, I will call people to investigate this matter thoroughly today, you go back to the residence first."

Xu Boshan knew that the emperor must have suspected objects in his heart, so he didn't stay any longer, and led a group of people to retreat after saluting.

When Xu Chengqing left, he took a special look at the emperor's hand, the clenched fist was fully exposed, and he was very angry, but according to Jinhua's plan, the matter was only halfway through.

When everyone left, the emperor threw the seal in his hand to the ground, "Bastard!"

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch An hurriedly knelt down cautiously.

The emperor's calm face was filled with anger in an instant, and he was out of control: "Who does he think he is, and he is still trying to manipulate my ministers under my nose, and even kill King Ning, heh, is he still Thinking about using this method to kill me?"

Eunuch An's heart was in his throat, but he knew that the emperor had already believed that he was the Ninth Prince, and now he only needed one last piece of evidence.

He said softly: "Your Majesty, maybe there is a misunderstanding, maybe the Ninth Prince is also being used..."

"Used by whom? King Ning or King Xuan? With that elm head of King Xuan, it's good not to be used by others. As for Huaiyan, even if he wants to do something, he won't be so despicable." The emperor knew very well that he could do this. Only the Ninth Prince Zhao Qing, who has been hiding his secrets, is waiting.After all, this matter is aimed at Huaiyan, as long as he hesitates a little bit, let Huijue go, or let the Queen Mother know the news in advance, Huijue can really kill Mrs. Lin Shao and Xu Zhaozhao up.Not to mention that Huaiyan loves Lin Jinhua so much, and the combined power of the Lin family and the Xu family is definitely more important than bringing down Zhao Qing, who is not at all a candidate for the crown prince. Zhao Huaiyan will not fail to settle this account.

Eunuch An didn't dare to speak out, but he was sure that the emperor already knew it.

The emperor did know it, but now it seems that this bit of evidence is not enough.

But soon, evidence was sent from outside the city.

Outside the city at this time, Zhao Qing did not expect to meet bandits here.

He directly pulled out a stack of [-] banknotes from his sleeve and threw them towards the head of the family, saying coldly: "You should know who this prince is, bandits never go against the court, you should be very clear about this, right?" .”

"It's a pity..." The head reined in the rein and sat on the horse, looked down at the ground, and laughed: "We still have to take your life today." After speaking, he directly issued an order: "Who will take your life?" Get his head off, and I'll treat you to some meat today!" After saying those words, the bandits in Qingshan Village immediately became excited, even though they came all night, they didn't feel tired at all.

Zhao Qing's guards stepped forward to resist, but how could a mere thirty people stop the hundreds of people in Qingshan Village?

A guard immediately said to Zhao Qing: "Ninth Prince, why don't we go back to the capital first, these robbers dare not go to the capital to mess around after all, this subordinate will notify Master Sun to pick you up at the gate of the city."

Zhao Qing still didn't know the relationship between the head of the family and Lin Jinhua. Hearing this, he only sullenly said, "Turn back to the official way from here."

The guards responded, and while the group of people were fighting, they hurriedly led them back to the official road, but they didn't dare to go any further and turned back to the capital.

Sun Shilang was dressed in black at this time, and he had no time to be sad when his son died.

Sun Wanwan was still crying on the side: "Father, you must avenge your brother. You are now half of the Minister of the Ministry of War. If you kill Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng, Lin Jinhua will definitely die in pain..."

"Okay." Sun Shilang was a little impatient, and soon a servant came in from outside and said, "My lord, Huijue is dead. The emperor has sent people to arrest relevant people, and the common people have arrested many of them." .”

Hearing this, Sun Shilang breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I fell when I went out this morning, and I couldn't make it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Sun Wanwan didn't like this timid father, if he rushed over, Wang Ruyan and Xu Zhaozhao would have been killed.

She said dissatisfiedly: "Father, we are doing things for the Ninth Prince, you can't just care about your own life..."

"Shut up!" Sun Shilang glared at her more and more dissatisfied. Thinking of Zhao Qing, he would naturally not help, but the more important thing was to protect himself.

Sun Wanwan was so angry that she was thinking, when suddenly there was the sound of a flare exploding outside.

Sun Shilang's expression froze, he hurried out and looked in the direction of the signal flare, it was in the direction of the West City Gate, could it be that the Ninth Prince couldn't get away now?

Thinking of this, he immediately asked someone to prepare the carriage.

Outside Sun's mansion, Zheng Qiong watched Sun Shilang quietly leave the mansion and took a carriage to the west gate, he was relieved, and said to Peanut: "Okay, let's follow the original plan."

Peanut nodded excitedly, glanced at the little beggar at the door of the Sun Mansion, and hurried away with his head down.

Zhao Qing fled all the way, and almost all the attendants were killed. He managed to reach the gate of the city. The injured attendant immediately went to call the guarding army and said, "Quick, there are bandits!"

"Bandits?" The city guard snorted coldly, glanced at the ordinary blue carriage behind him, and said disdainfully: "This is the imperial city, even if there are bandits, I would never dare to come here." After finishing speaking, he looked at it suspiciously. The man in front of his eyes said: "I think you are very suspicious. You are covered in blood in broad daylight. Could it be that you went to kill someone?"

"I……"

"Come on, arrest him and send him to Jingzhao Mansion!" The city guard shouted immediately, and a dozen or so guards came in a short while.

Zhao Qing's face in the carriage was a bit gloomy, and after putting on the veiled hat, he quietly got out of the carriage, seeing that the Sun Mansion's carriage had already arrived, and then quickly walked towards the Sun Mansion's carriage.But what he didn't expect was that the head of the family really brought someone to kill him!

A group of horses ran to the gate of the city with dust, causing the people to flee in all directions, and the guards quickly took up weapons and began to resist.

Zhao Qing was already in the city, seeing this, he just turned his head and looked indifferently, the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain, thinking that he could be killed by doing this, he really underestimated Zhao Qing!After decades of deliberation, how could he be defeated by this trick!
He took a step and stepped into the carriage, but after getting into the carriage, he found that Sun Shilang sitting in the carriage had passed out.

He was startled, someone in the crowd had already broken through the guards of the Sun residence, stepped forward and tore off the curtain of the carriage and shouted inside: "Sun Shilang is dead, murder!"

The people of the Sun residence looked back, only to see that their lord was sitting inside and there was no movement, while the stranger got into the carriage without knowing when.

Seeing this, Dang even showed the sword at his waist.

At this moment, the head of the family saw this situation and knew that his task was completed, so he just took his sword and shouted inside: "Your Highness Ninth Prince, don't blame us for chasing you so far, next time you want to let us Qingshan The people in the village are working hard for you, so pay more money!" After finishing speaking, he rode his horse and retreated quickly, and the guards who watched nervously were stunned, these bandits left now?
And he said that the Ninth Prince...

Zhao Qing's face was pale, and he got out of the carriage with the help of the remaining two guards and was about to retreat out of the city, but a group of people dressed as ordinary people came out from nowhere and stopped at the gate of the city, knelt down and cried to him: " Your Highness the Ninth Prince, you are a man of destiny, and now that the Jin Dynasty is in disaster, please save me and the people!"

Zhao Qing clenched his fists, what nonsense are they talking about!Even if he used Huijue, he never made Huijue say such things. If the emperor knew about it, he would not be able to forgive himself!

It's a pity that now the emperor already knows.

By the time the Janissaries sent the news to the palace, the emperor had calmed down.

Looking at Wen Xiao, the commander of the imperial guards, he said, "Go and verify it yourself. If it is the Ninth Prince, you will bring it back to see me in person. If not, dare to pretend to be the Ninth Prince and kill him without mercy."

"Yes, I will do it immediately." Wen Xiao heard the words and was about to retreat. The emperor thought about it and said: "Send someone to investigate the flood in the south of the Yangtze River immediately, and more than [-] people lost their lives. I want to know." what is going on."

Eunuch An stood on one side with downcast eyes. Has the emperor already started to suspect that the Ninth Prince did what happened in the south of the Yangtze River?
Wen Xiao responded and quickly withdrew.

At the gate of the city, the guards couldn't figure out the situation. Seeing the people wearing veiled hats and holding cold swords, and the people kneeling and crying at the gate of the city, they couldn't make up their minds for a while.Only hold the weapon, look left and right, and dare not make a move.

Zhao Qing snorted coldly and was about to leave, but the members of the Sun family couldn't figure out the situation and scolded him: "Dare to kill my lord, do you want to leave now intact?" After finishing speaking, a group of people asked The sword came up.

Although their kung fu, that is, the level of the little guys, couldn't hurt Zhao Qing at all, but they couldn't bear the crowd, and Zhao Qing couldn't be dismissed all at once.

After Zhao Qing raised his hand and dealt with the two, he tried his best to escape.He was sure that the bandits outside the city who called themselves Qingshanzhai must be a trap to force him to return to the capital, but he mistakenly thought that Lin Jinyu would not send another People come, but fell into their trap, damn it!
Thinking of this, he became more and more sullen, and whispered to the two remaining guards around him, saying, "You must leave the city immediately!"

Those two people understood that they stepped forward to protect Zhao Qing, and started to fight with all their strength without saying a word, and they didn't care whether they were injured or not, as if they were about to risk their lives.

Seeing this, Zhao Qing quickly walked out of the city, but he kicked away anyone who dared to stop him.

Seeing that he was about to leave the city ahead, he gritted his teeth and killed him, but when he stepped on the horse listening outside the city, a cold sword flew from behind, he narrowly avoided it, and the sword hit the horse neck, the horse ran away in shock.

As soon as Zhao Qing turned his head, he saw thousands of Imperial Guards marching mightily.

Seeing thousands of imperial guards, his heart fell to the bottom.

Wen Xiao retracted the movement of throwing the sword, looked at the man wearing the veil, and said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you pretend to be the Ninth Prince, and even dare to kill people here, I advise you to catch him without a fight!"

"what--"

Accompanied by two cries of pain, Zhao Qing's remaining two guards fell to the ground covered in blood.

Zhao Qing looked at the city gate that was close at hand, and then at the thousands of imperial guards, knowing that his father had confirmed his identity.

He slowly took off the veil on his head, looked at Wen Xiao, but he didn't feel nervous. His father must have sent someone to Jiangnan to investigate, and he was in the capital at this moment, and it was hard to argue.

"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince." Seeing that it was indeed him, Wen Xiao got off his horse, walked up to him and said, "Please trouble your Highness to follow the officials into the palace."

Zhao Qing's eyes were red. He looked at the black guards and the people hiding in the distance, feeling extremely chilled. Sure enough, he only included himself in the plan he thought was foolproof.As long as he enters the palace this time, with his father's ruthless temperament, he must die like his mother and concubine.

He smiled lightly, and dropped the sword in his hand: "My prince will enter the palace with you."

Wen Xiao glanced at him and saw that there was no other movement, so he turned sideways: "Please." After saying that, he followed behind him.

Zhao Qing didn't speak, looked at the moat not far ahead due to the flood that was bottomless, and stepped forward.

Wen Xiao also saw the river, and said cautiously: "Ninth Prince, Your Majesty is still not sure about anything, so don't do anything stupid."

"Father, if you are not sure about anything, why would you call you here?" The imperial guards were supposed to protect the imperial city, but the imperial father dispatched so many imperial guards in order to "invite" himself into the palace. Already have a conclusion in mind?
Wen Xiao's hand slowly grasped the small crossbow placed on one side, and after walking across the bridge, he was slightly relieved when he saw that Zhao Qing hadn't thrown himself into the river, but at the moment of relief, Zhao Qing ran directly into the river go.

Wen Xiao frowned, and stretched out his hand to grab it, but Zhao Qing had already prepared himself, and even took off his outer shirt.

Wen Xiao held an empty coat in his hand, watched the person jump into the river, and fired an arrow directly into the water from the small crossbow in his hand, and then the river surface was bright red.

"Hurry up and save the Ninth Prince!" Wen Xiaohan said.

The imperial guards jumped down like dumplings.

At the gate of the city, Zheng Qiong lowered the brim of his hat, lowered his eyes and said to Peanut, "I probably won't survive."

The water was in such a hurry, and he was shot by an arrow just now, even if Wen Xiao didn't catch him, he still couldn't leave the capital alive.

Peanut's face was full of shock. In fact, he never thought that he would kill the dignified Ninth Prince today, and it seemed that the princess did not intend to force the Ninth Prince to death...

Seeing him startled, Zheng Qiong patted his shoulder and said, "Afraid?"

"No...no." Peanut shook his head.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Qiong took a deep breath, even if Peanut wasn't afraid, he was.

In such a short period of time, she designed so many tricks, or in other words, she caught Zhao Qing's self-righteousness and the emperor's suspicious nature, and used these points to get rid of the Ninth Prince without bloodshed. It can be said that it is not clever, and the emperor probably would not suspect her from the beginning to the end.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qiong quietly evacuated with his people.

The news spread back to the palace, and Lin Jinhua also knew about it.

After Eunuch An let the little eunuch who came to pass the news quietly leave, Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a little worry, and said, "My lord, do you want to send someone to take a look?"

"No need." Zhao Huaiyan stood at the entrance of the hall and looked at the magnificent palace. Ever since he knew that his father was plotting against King Jing, he already knew that Zhao Qing would definitely die, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Lin Jinhua walked up to him, looked out together with him, and said shallowly, "The Ninth Prince himself probably didn't expect this to happen today."

Zhao Huaiyan took her hand and put it in the palm of his hand, and said: "He is to blame for all this, the lives of three hundred people, once the emperor finds out, he will not die, and he will never even think about stepping out of the prince's mansion for the rest of his life. Locked up, he is more willing to die."

Seeing that he had figured it out, Lin Jinhua just held his hand tightly and stopped talking.

Not long after, Eunuch An came in person.

After arriving, Eunuch An saluted and said: "The emperor is already tired today, so please go back first. Regarding the matter of the national teacher, the emperor will hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Jing Zhaoyin for investigation."

"En." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he paused and said, "Since father is hurting, you should take care of him."

"I understand." Eunuch An responded with a smile.

Only then did Zhao Huaiyan take Lin Jinhua away.

However, he thought that the emperor would feel sad to some extent, but the current emperor is not like this.Sitting on the dragon chair, he felt a sense of relief.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, do you want to deliver dinner?" the little eunuch asked.

"En." The emperor responded, and said, "It is said that Lin Yu will serve you."

The little eunuch responded quickly.

When he was leaving, the emperor suddenly stopped him and asked, "Do you think I am too heartless?" Not only was he not sad when his son died, but he felt relaxed.Zhao Qing is the son of Concubine Jia, and Concubine Jia was the one who killed Concubine Yin, and now that he has avenged Concubine Yin, the sense of guilt that had oppressed him for decades seemed to be emptied in an instant.

The little eunuch didn't dare to say anything. Hearing this, he knelt down on the ground and trembled all over: "I don't know."

"I don't know?" The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up coldly: "Forget it, don't make things difficult for you, go and pass on Lin Yu."

"Yes, yes..." The little eunuch retreated quickly, Eunuch An heard this at the gate of the palace, and saw the little eunuch coming, so he went in vigilantly to serve him.

Seeing him coming, the emperor looked deeper and asked, "Has Huaiyan left the palace?"

"Yes, the servant looks at the prince's injury as if it is not serious, and the princess's eyes are swollen from crying." Eunuch An said carefully from the side.

"She still cries? It's just a woman after all." After finishing speaking, the emperor took a sip of tea, and then said calmly, "I'm still worried that the Queen Mother will be sad if she finds out about Huijue and Lao Jiu. The servants in the Palace of Compassion and Ning are not allowed to come out, and people outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning are not allowed to enter, so that the Empress Dowager can live and worship the Buddha."

Eunuch An's hand holding Fuchen trembled slightly, the Emperor clearly wanted to put the Queen Mother under house arrest...

He didn't dare to speak out, and immediately said: "The emperor still loves the empress dowager."

"After all, she is my biological mother. In those years when I first became the throne, the queen mother was in power." The emperor said lightly, and then waved him away.

Eunuch An saw the coldness flashing in his eyes, he didn't dare to say anything and went out immediately.

When she left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she met Xiong Linyu who had been freshened and dressed, and immediately stepped forward to salute, but she walked away with her head held high as if she didn't see it.

The eunuchs who followed were startled, Mr. An is the most popular person in front of the emperor.

Eunuch An only waved his hand, glanced at the direction Xiong Linyu was leaving, turned and left indifferently.

outside the palace.

Lin Jinhua just returned to Prince Ning's Mansion, and the four of Mo Feng gathered together and quietly waited in the mansion.

Zhao Huaiyan sat at the head of the flower hall, looked at the four people, and said: "This time it was done very well."

"Thank you, my lord, for your praise." The four saluted.

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Lin Jinhua tenderly, and then said: "Just talk first, if there is anything, just ask them to do it. Where you need me, let people come to find me at any time."

Lin Jinhua looked at the sad look in his eyes, knowing that he wanted to visit the moat, so she just nodded.

When he left, he delivered it to the door in person, and then said: "My lord, you blame me for making such claims?"

"Why do you think this way?" Zhao Huaiyan did want to see Zhao Qing, but more importantly, he wanted to confirm whether he was dead or not.Zhao Qing looks free and easy on the outside, but in fact he is very stubborn. If he is not dead, he will not give up easily.

Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly wet, and she just took his hand and said, "I know the prince treats him like a younger brother, and I really made a good idea this time, and someone did it without informing the prince, and I could have let him go." ..."

"If you let him go, he won't appreciate it, and if he really hurts you, wouldn't I be heartbroken?" Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand to rub her head, and said softly, "Hua'er, in my eyes, No one is as important as you, in two lifetimes, it's the same."

Only then did Lin Jinhua feel relieved, she was not afraid of outsiders saying that she was indifferent, but she cared about Huaiyan.And he should know that she will kill Zhao Qing sooner or later.

Zhao Huaiyan naturally knew, looking at the person in front of him who had come so hard, seeing her worried look, he apologized in his heart for not being thoughtful enough, gently raised his hand to caress her face, and then smiled: "Wait for me to come back at night, let's go together Eat."

"En." Lin Jinhua nodded, seeing him turn and leave, suppressed his wild thoughts and went back to the room.

"Princess, Zhao Qing's body has not been found yet, should we continue to send people to look for it?" Mo Feng said as if he hadn't heard their conversation.

"Have you looked for the Hualou that I told you about? Is the oiran inside still there?" Lin Jinhua stood aside and said.

Mo Feng frowned: "Oiran is gone."

"There's no need to look for it." Lin Jinhua sighed and said, "The emperor will send someone to look for it. The possibility of Zhao Qing surviving is very slim, unless there is someone secretly helping him. If so, go out and look for it. "Once the emperor knows that he designed this, maybe he will be the next one to die.

When Mo Hua heard the words, she stepped forward and said: "The slave girl asked the general to stand still for the time being."

"Well, it's on duty as usual, don't ask any suspicious things in person, although the emperor didn't say anything about the old department this time, he must be suspicious of Huai Yan, I don't want such things to happen next time " Lin Jinhua said.

Mo Hua nodded: "The slave will be optimistic about the general."

As soon as these words came out, the lively Mo Yue laughed out loud: "Mo Hua has become a housekeeper."

Mohua's ears were slightly hot, but his expression was calm: "This servant is doing her duty faithfully."

Seeing this, Mo Yue stopped making fun of her, and said to Lin Jinhua: "When Shi Lang went to pick up Zhao Qing, our people drugged him. Although the emperor will doubt him, I'm afraid there will be no evidence."

"Master Zheng's idea?" Lin Jinhua asked.

"Well, he said that Sun Shilang should not be removed for the time being. If Zhao Qing is really not dead, he will definitely contact Sun Shilang in the future. If we want to find Zhao Qing, we just need to keep an eye on Sun Shilang." Mo Yue said.

Mo Xue raised her eyebrows as she listened from the side: "Master Zheng is really not a simple person, why did he follow the Ninth Prince in the first place?"

Lin Jinhua also knew that it was entirely due to their own negligence that they were able to pull Zheng Qiong off the horse, but since Zheng Qiong chose Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing must not be as simple as they saw in front of them.

But now the life and death of others are uncertain, now is not the time to think about these things, just said: "Go back and watch, don't act rashly during this time, there will be actions in the palace soon." The emperor has abolished Concubine De Well, I'm afraid Lipin will not live long, and soon he will make a big move.

Several people looked at each other, nodded, and went back quietly while taking advantage of the night.

Zhao Huaiyan was standing on the bridge of the moat at this time. Because of what happened here during the day, most of the people dared not approach and went home early. Now there is no one else here except him.

"My lord." Gao Ting stood on the side and looked at him worriedly.

Chaos appeared in Zhao Huaiyan's eyes. After all, he once cared and protected Zhao Qing like his own brother, but in the end he killed himself with a knife.

He looked at the turbulent river, and said calmly, "Let someone find it."

"Yes." After Gao Zhi finished speaking, he said: "If he is not dead..."

"The tendons and tendons of the limbs are abolished, and his life is spared, so that he can stay away from the capital." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Looking at the lonely back of his lord, Gao Tian only sighed and said no more.

When Zhao Huai Wangfu, Yan walked step by step, it was already dark, and there were two dim lights hanging at the gate of the Wangfu, swaying in the night wind, like duckweed that had not fallen.

"My lord is back."

Lin Jinhua came out from the door. She had been waiting at the door, and only walked out when he came back alone and stood silent at the door.

Zhao Huaiyan saw the red-clothed woman in front of her, with gentle eyebrows, hidden love and worry, her body was so small, it was as if he could rub her into his body by taking a step forward.

The ice and snow in his eyes also melted, he was no longer alone, he was accompanied by her.Life and death, good and evil, she will always be there.

"Hua'er..." When he spoke, he didn't even notice that his voice was hoarse.

Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, bowed to him politely, and looked up at him: "My husband has worked hard all day, and I have some thin wine with me. I wonder if my husband would like to drink with me?"

"It's such a good night, with my wife's company, I'm willing." Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were stained with a smile, and the boredom in his heart was also swept away. He stepped forward to hold her hand, and felt that her soft hand was also clenched. Only then did the corners of her thin lips curl up slowly, leading her slowly towards the mansion.

After drinking for three rounds, Lin Jinzhen was a little drunk, and before she could drink any more, the wine glass was taken away.

Looking at her slightly flushed face, Zhao Huaiyan smiled slightly: "It's time to wash up."

After Lin Jinhua drank, she became more courageous. She put her little hand into his lapel and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, accompany me?"

"Naturally." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her wet eyes and red lips, and carried her slowly towards the bathroom.

All the sadness will pass, as long as she is here, as long as she is always there...

The sound of water was accompanied by gentle panting, and even the bright moon in the sky shyly pulled a cloud to cover its face.

Inside the palace.

Dozens of candles were burning and jumping, the emperor drank three rounds, looked at the person in front of him with a smile, and said dumbly: "You really look like the concubine De when you were young."

Xiong Lin's rain-colored gauze has wet eye sockets, and he is dressed in white. In the sultry summer, the wind still feels as if the wind can blow through the gauze to the skin, which is very cool.

Her hands trembled slightly, and she stepped forward with the wine in her hand, but before pouring it out, the emperor grabbed her whole body, and the wine cup fell to the ground, making a piercing sound.

Xiong Linyu wanted to struggle, but the emperor hugged her tighter and tighter: "I have enough strength now, so what if you struggle?" After speaking, there was a sound of cloth being torn.

Outside the hall, Eunuch An listened to the voice inside clearly, and sighed silently in his heart.Why did the emperor suddenly become like this, he couldn't figure it out, but it seemed that after the nobleman was pregnant with a child, the emperor began to feel that he was not old.

Could it be that the emperor did this to Miss Xiong to prove something?

Eunuch An couldn't figure it out, and didn't dare to think about it. Hearing the woman's weeping and the man's panting, he hurriedly dismissed the red-faced little eunuch.

Just thinking about it, someone suddenly came to report: "Elder-in-law, something happened to Madam Lipin."

"What's the matter?" Eunuch An asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty suddenly had an unbearable abdominal cramping in the middle of the night, and now she has vomited blood, calling to see the Emperor." The little eunuch said anxiously.

When Mr. An heard the words, he turned his head and heard the panting inside. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll pass it on for you."

"Thank you, father-in-law." The little eunuch quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Only then did Mr. An walk in cautiously, and when he got to the bead curtain, he saw the pile of blood-stained clothes on the ground, and then hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty, Madam Li's body is probably going to be boiled." I can't stop, I want to see you..."

"Get out!"

The emperor roared softly, but the woman's patient sobs became louder and louder.

When Mr. An heard the words, he didn't dare to say any more, and immediately withdrew from the inside.

The little eunuch also heard the emperor's words and didn't dare to stay. After saluting with Eunuch An, he turned around and ran back.

At this moment, Concubine Li was lying on the bed, her face was unbearably pale, and the side of the bed was covered with blood just spit out just now.

She clutched her abdomen in pain and curled up: "What about the emperor, I want to see the emperor..."

When the little eunuch who rushed back heard the words, he stepped forward in embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor has already rested."

"Wake him up, tell him to come to see me, I feel so uncomfortable, please come to the imperial doctor, please come quickly to the imperial doctor Lu, didn't he say that my body is fine?" As if her life could be killed in the next second, she spit out a big mouthful of blood in a panic.

She looked at the person in front of her, and tears rolled down her eyes: "Is the emperor not willing to come?"

Seeing her like this, the little eunuch cried and knelt down: "Ma'am, the emperor is summoning Miss Xiong today."

Hearing this, Concubine Li's eyes were ferocious, as if they were about to stare out, she looked straight at the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and stretched out her hand: "My emperor..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The palace maids gathered around immediately, Concubine Li fell on the bed as if the lamp had run out of oil, and shouted out with the last of her strength: "Your Majesty, you are so cruel! emperor--"

Her roaring stopped abruptly, and when Doctor Lu hurried over to hear this, he knew that she was hopeless.
