Chapter 160
Tao Mou could feel the murderous intent coming from behind him, but he was sure that Lin Jinhua and the others hadn't noticed him at all, so he managed to calm down and asked calmly, "You want to find me, but do you have something to cooperate with?"
"It doesn't look stupid." A cold female voice came, carrying a deep murderous look and resentment.
"Who are you?" Tao Mou turned slightly sideways to turn around, but only halfway through the turn, someone cut his neck.
"Know who I am and what the consequences are, do you know?"
The female voice continued to be heard calmly, and Tao Mou clenched his fists tightly.
"Since you didn't kill me, you came looking for me with a purpose. If you really don't want me to see you, why don't you tell me what your purpose is, and don't waste your time." Tao Mou Leng snort.
"Go to the window and have a look," the woman said.
Tao Mou looked sideways, and saw Lin Luzhi suddenly brought someone out with a notice in his hand, as if he had found the assassin.
Tao Mou frowned, and soon there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then someone came in and handed over the notice that was being distributed below, and the notice seemed to show Tao Mou's appearance.
He was stunned suddenly: "How did you find out..."
"Because I asked someone to tell them, how about it, Tao Mou, do you still have the capital to negotiate terms with me?" The woman laughed sarcastically.
Tao Mou gritted his teeth slightly: "What on earth are you looking for me for? Now I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I can't help you with anything."
"Of course you can help me. Mr. Tao is quite capable, otherwise, how could he break through the protection of the Lin family and attack Mrs. Lin Shao, and also get in touch with Lang Yueyan from the former southern Xinjiang?" She laughed and followed the man holding the dagger Nodding, the man finally released him.
"You have two choices now. One, you jump off this building by yourself and get caught by the Lin family. Two, help me. I will get rid of the person you want to get rid of for you. How about it?" the female voice continued to ask .
"You know who I'm going to get rid of?"
"It's nothing more than the woman who robbed you back then, and now the Lin family lives better than you."
As soon as Tao Mou heard it, he knew that this person must have been eyeing him a long time ago, otherwise it would be impossible to know so clearly.
He knew that now he was either going to die or listen to her!
He clenched his fist unwillingly, and said in a deep voice, "I promise you. Then can I know who you are now?"
"You will know sooner or later. From now on, I want you to contact all the available people in Qiannanjiang, and a good show will start soon." She laughed coldly, and she was carried away directly .
Tao Mou heard her voice fading away, and he slammed his fist on the wall unwillingly.
After there was no one in the room, he finally turned around, intending to ask his guards why they didn't guard this place, but he turned around, and all the guards he brought today had turned black and fell to the ground. Not breathing.
After Lin Jinhua heard the news of Wang Ruyan's assassination, she quickly and quietly drove out of the palace.
Lin's mansion was in chaos, Lin Luzhi searched for Tao Mou all the way, and Lin Jincheng walked back and forth outside the room in a hurry.
As soon as Lin Jinhua entered the room, she smelled a strong smell of blood.
"Miss!"
When the people in the room saw her, they immediately knelt down and saluted.
Lin Jinhua raised her hand, and looked at the grief-stricken elder brother and Wang Ruyan who was lying on the bed as white as paper: "Where is the injury?"
"Returning to your mother, the wound is on the heart. Although it didn't hurt the heart, but the young lady is weak and bleeding profusely. This time, I'm afraid it's..." The doctor on the side knelt on the ground trembling, Lin Jinhua didn't wait After he finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wang Ruyan's wrist, felt his pulse, and then immediately asked someone to prepare silver needles and a large amount of medicine.
The doctor saw her from the side, and thought she was not reconciled, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the young madam go through the last journey quietly..."
"I can still be saved." Lin Jinhua immediately said as she watched Lin Jincheng's face turn pale.Although I'm not very sure, but there is a possibility to try, it's better than letting Ru Yan go like this.
Soon the medicine and silver needles were delivered, and Lin Jinhua immediately grabbed the doctor to make the medicine, and then drove all the others out, leaving only Mo Xue to help before starting to administer the needles.
The Xu family rushed over at this moment, Xu Zhaozhao was trembling with anger: "Tao Mou, that stinky and shameless person, he still bears grudges for what happened back then, it is considered kind of the Lin family to punish his nine clans for no reason, and he actually repays his kindness like this.
Xu Chengqing thought of the person who looked exactly like Jin Hua that he had seen in the carriage this afternoon, and his complexion sank slightly, but seeing that the Lin family was immersed in sadness, he held back and didn't say anything.
Soon, Lin Jinhua in the room began to have people bring medicine in.
Lin Jincheng stood guard outside with his heart hanging in his throat, and it continued like this until dark, when the door finally opened from the inside.
Even a person like Mo Xue who practiced martial arts for a long time was exhausted, seeing Lin Jincheng who was haggard and guarding outside, he finally smiled and said, "I'm alive."
"Really!" Lin Jincheng immediately confirmed.
"Really, the empress is resting inside, everyone should keep their voices down after going in." Mo Xue smiled slightly.She usually has a cold look and doesn't like to laugh, but now when she smiles, she is extraordinarily eye-catching.
Xu Chengqing didn't pay much attention to it at first, and only took a quick glance, only to find that when she smiled, she had a sweet dimple, which was completely different from her usual cold and unfriendly appearance.
He deliberately took a step behind, and before entering the room, he smiled at her and said, "Mo Xue, you look beautiful when you smile."
Mo Xue was slightly taken aback, looked at his eyes that had no other meaning, and lowered her pupils slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your compliment."
"I remember you are from the rivers and lakes?"
"Yes."
"That's great. I've always envied you guys for being able to travel through the rivers and lakes. When I grow old, I will definitely not be an official. By then, you will become a famous heroine in the rivers and lakes, so cover me more." He joked.
For such a long time, Mo Xue felt dull in her heart. Hearing this, her smile faded, but her mind was a little more relaxed: "Yes."
Xu Chengqing smiled, and then stepped in.
Wang Ruyan is still awake, but it can be seen that the bleeding from the wound has stopped.
Lin Jinhua leaned weakly on the side of the warm couch, her complexion was a little pale.
"Hua'er, are you alright?" Mrs. Xu stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Lin Jinhua forced a smile and shook her head, but she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes. After finishing speaking, she slowly slipped on the cushion on one side and fell asleep like this.
Lin Jincheng looked at his beloved wife and then at his younger sister, feeling extremely grateful in his heart, when he could be his younger sister's reliance, so that she wouldn't be too tired in the palace.
When Lin Luzhi rushed back, everything in the mansion had just settled down.
She looked at her daughter who was sleeping on the warm couch, and then at her tired son and daughter-in-law, and she could only sigh deeply.
When the big guy came out, Xu Boshan didn't deliberately pull him to talk today, he just patted him on the shoulder and left.
When the Xu family returned, Xu Chengqing asked Xu Boshan specifically: "Father, do you know if Lin Jinhua has any relatives? Or, is there any woman who is about the same age as Jinhua today?"
"What are you asking these for?" Xu Boshan asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, just asking casually. I saw a woman who looked somewhat similar to Jinyu on the road before, and I thought my uncle had an outside room behind his back." Xu Chengqing said deliberately in a joking tone.
Seeing his strange appearance, Xu Boshan didn't try to put him off, but thought about it seriously: "If he looks very similar to Jinhua, he probably won't be a talent. Your uncle has been traveling all over the world for so many years. On the battlefield, although there were some servants, they were not allowed to give birth to children, but when your aunt gave birth to Jinhua, she gave birth to twins, but one of them was stillborn and was thrown away."
"Stillborn? Is it a woman too?"
"It's not clear. Except for your uncle and the midwife who knew about it, your aunt didn't know about it. She was afraid that she would be sad, so the Lin family never mentioned it for so many years. I also heard about it after your uncle was drunk. He mentioned something." After Xu Boshan finished speaking, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "There are so many people in this world, it's not surprising that there are a few who look similar, don't think about it, the emperor has only recently ascended the throne, My Daqi's current officialdom is also mixed with good and bad people, you have to be careful, don't be used by others, and it will cause trouble for Jinhua instead."
"Yes." Although Xu Chengqing had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, just thinking that he was dazzled for a while.
But soon, he knew that he was not dazzled, because the next morning, an informant reported that in the capital, he really saw a woman who looked exactly like Lin Jinhua, who was drinking tea near the flower building and had sex with a strange man. It was very ambiguous, and there were even some ministers who recognized the wrong person and ran to pay respects on purpose. Rumors and rumors in the capital suddenly increased. After all, it was well known that Lin Jinhua had left the palace the day before yesterday.
It was already the second day when Lin Jinhua heard the news.
After getting up early, Mo Xue reported the matter first, and she said directly: "You take someone to arrest that woman first, be careful."
"Yes!" Mo Xue responded and went immediately.
On one side, Mo Feng analyzed: "Your Majesty, could someone deliberately find a woman who looks similar to you to ruin your reputation?"
"To confuse the public, I'm worried that their purpose is not just to ruin my reputation by making such a fuss." After Lin Jinhua finished her dressing, she slowly got up to look at Wang Ruyan.
Wang Ruyan still hasn't woken up, but her complexion has improved a lot.
Lin Jinhua let her rest, prescribed the medicine again, and then prepared to go back to the palace.
There is a lot of gossip outside the palace, and if you stay in the palace, these rumors will naturally disappear.
But what Lin Jinhua didn't expect was that someone she had been worried about would make something happen around the end of the year, and she didn't expect it to be so soon.
After she returned to the palace, she immediately heard Cui Mama who was watching the movement in the palace come over: "Your Majesty, people in the palace are now discussing things outside the palace in private."
"What's the matter?"
"A person similar to you is with another man outside the palace..."
"I know." Lin Jinhua interrupted her, her eyes darkened. She still remembered the time when Madam Cui was impersonated, and she always remembered that Xianyue was good at disguise. Now they must be here The capital is already here, and such things are being done, just to target yourself?
She thought for a while before saying, "How about the Queen Mother?"
Thinking of this, Mammy Cui's face became more solemn: "The old lady is ill."
"What disease?"
"The imperial doctor can't tell clearly, but he can't eat, and his limbs are sore and weak." Cui Mama said.
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth curled up coldly. The old lady is trying to pretend to be sick. Could it be that she is colluding with people outside the palace?
She just finished speaking, Mo Xue, who had gone to work before, didn't come back, but the person who went out with her came back in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, something happened to Miss Mo Xue." The palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"what happened?"
"It was the person who was similar to you. Miss Mo Xue just went there, but she just touched her, and she fell to the ground foaming at the mouth. Everyone thought that sister Mo Xue killed her, so now put him Surround them and send them to Dali Temple." She said anxiously.
Looking at her face, Lin Jinhua hesitated for a moment, put down the teacup and got up slowly, walked up to her slowly, and said, "Raise your head."
The palace maid was startled: "Your Majesty..."
"I ask you to raise your head." Lin Jinhua's tone was already a little cold.If it was as dangerous as she said, how could she come back to report safely alone?Unless this court lady belongs to those people at all!
Seeing that Lin Jinhua had already sensed it, the maid gritted her teeth tightly, and taking advantage of Lin Jinhua's unpreparedness, she pulled out the hairpin from her head and stabbed fiercely at her abdomen.
Lin Jinhua had been prepared for a long time, and when she ducked back, the maid was about to catch up, but Mo Feng, who rushed over after hearing the news, grabbed her and pinned her to the ground.
Mo Feng was about to remove her chin, but she had bitten the poison sac in her mouth and was foaming at the mouth.
Mother Cui's heart jumped into her throat, and when she saw this, she hurriedly said: "Mother, how did this assassin get in here!"
"It has been raised in the palace for a long time. Didn't the palace say that the people in this palace are all left over from the previous dynasty, and they have long been people from all sides, but now they are just being used again." Lin Jinhua said, Looking at Mo Feng, Mo Feng immediately cupped his hands: "This servant will expedite the disposal of these people in the palace."
"That's good, something might happen to Mo Xue, Mo Yue, sneak out and take a look." Lin Jinhua ordered.
Mo Yue responded immediately and went out quickly.
Lin Jinhua looked at the dead girl in the room with a gloomy expression.
"Your maidservant, tell someone to dispose of the corpse..."
"No." Lin Jinhua shook her head.Grabbing them one by one is too slow, and it is too dangerous. They are good at disguise, so it is too easy to sneak into the palace. She wants to guard everyone around her, but she can't guard against it at all. It's better to take the initiative.
Nurse Cui paused, seeing her thoughtful, and asked softly, "What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
"Lead the snake out of the hole." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she glanced at Nanny Cui and raised her eyebrows slightly. Those people must be trying to find a way to get close to her...
Outside the palace, the maid before was right. The people outside did create the illusion that Mo Xue had killed people. The people from Dali Temple quickly took Mo Xue to the prison, and the snowflakes also flew to Zhao Huaiyan. desk.
The person who spoke back and forth was Han Beixiao, the new Dali Minister of Dali Temple, who was the central figure among the former ministers left over from southern Xinjiang.
What Zhao Huaiyan valued was his ability, and now that Nanjiang was dead after all, and Lang Yueyan was imprisoned in the government office, so he didn't suspect him.
"Your Majesty, what happened this time was really bad. Now there are rumors that the empress killed someone just because she looked like her. Although I dared to arrest the assailant, it was the empress's fault." Personal maid, I dare not dispose of it without authorization, so please ask the emperor to make a decision." Han Beixiao knelt down and said respectfully.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't raise her head, she just said: "Let's take it into custody first, this matter concerns the queen's reputation, I will personally send someone to investigate."
Hearing this, Han Beixiao frowned slightly. He neither blindly protected Lin Jinhua nor blindly believed in himself, which would be troublesome...
"Your majesty, the ministers believe in the empress. This time it must be a misunderstanding. Now that the empress's personal maid has been arrested, the minister is worried that the empress will not get used to it. Otherwise, I will send the maid back..."
"The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people." Zhao Huaiyan raised her eyes and looked at him lightly: "I never said that I would let her go, and the queen never said either. Don't be so anxious, Mr. Han. After the matter is clarified, she will be released soon. .”
"Yes." Han Beixiao hurriedly lowered his eyes, but the emotion on his face sank a lot.
He quietly glanced at Zhao Huaiyan again, seeing that he was just looking down at the memorial with his head down, he didn't say anything to him, he saluted and left.
As soon as he left, Zhao Huaiyan put down the vermilion pen, looked at his back, and said, "Great talent."
"Subordinates are here."
"Send someone to keep an eye on him." Just now, his proposal seemed to be for the sake of himself and Hua'er, but everywhere he was trying to guide him to release Mo Xue.When everyone outside felt that the evidence was convincing, if he released Mo Xue without authorization, people would have to catch him saying that he was a foolish king who only wanted to spoil the queen. Then Hua'er's situation would be even more difficult.
Gao Zhi immediately complied.
After Gao Zhi left, he called the dark guard again.
Today's hidden guards are a group of people he selected from the army, they only listen to his orders, and no one knows their existence.
"emperor."
"Immediately search for Xianyue and Changsun Xuanyin all the way, and if found, they will be killed without mercy." Zhao Huaiyan heard the rumors of the past few days, and with the fact that He Lianjing always went to the Valley of Poisons, he probably guessed that Xianyue was not at all. not dead.
"Yes." The person in the dark answered and disappeared quickly.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the memorial on the table with a slightly cold face, put it aside directly, got up and went to the harem.
At that time, Lin Jinzheng was sitting by the warm couch playing with the children. I don't know if it was because of Jiu'er's vivaciousness. He ate a lot and was much fatter than Quiet Grape. He was crawling on the warm couch in a small pink robe. Come to get up, ask the nanny to shake the rattle for a while, and babble while pointing at the pastry on the low table, with a pair of bright eyes.
Putaozhi sat obediently in Lin Jinhua's arms, babbling and talking, but not making a fuss. Lin Jinhua teased him a little, and he smiled cheerfully. Average impact.
He felt more at ease, went into the back room, hugged Jiu'er who was waving his chubby arms towards him, lifted her up a bit, and then put her on the side.
But before he could sit still, Jiu'er grabbed Zhao Huaiyan's dragon robe with his dirty hand that was grabbing cakes, and looked at him with a silly smile.
The nurse was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down: "It's the servant girl who didn't teach well, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."
"Such a young child, what can I teach you?" Zhao Huaiyan turned around and took a handkerchief, and wiped Jiu'er's hands, only to see his son looking straight at him, smiling slightly, and opened his hands towards him, Putao also immediately crawled towards him.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were bent when she smiled, lovely child, gentle husband, this life has no regrets.
After laughing and making noise with the child for a while, the wet nurse took it down.
"Let's all go down." Zhao Huaiyan said.
Lin Jinhua finally sighed softly after the courtiers retreated knowingly.
Zhao Huaiyan stepped forward to hold her in his arms and sat on the side of the warm couch, and said softly: "Are you bothering about things outside the palace?"
"No, the concubine is worried. These two children are so noisy when they are young. How good it will be when they grow up." To think, to think wildly, to plan meticulously, in short, there is no idle time.
Zhao Huaiyan smiled slightly after hearing that, "Just take good care of yourself, child, if you feel noisy, send someone to the imperial study, and I will always watch over you."
Lin Jinhua chuckled, if that was the case, those ministers who were bored in the imperial study all day long would have their heads blown by wine.
She was about to speak when she sensed something was wrong with Zhao Huaiyan, she said softly, "What is the emperor worried about?"
"Things outside the palace are becoming more and more unpredictable, and I can spend less and less time with you and the child. I am worried that if I am negligent, something irreversible will happen again." He said.
Lin Jinhua knew that his worries were not unreasonable. Now that Daqi had become an absolute power, and many small countries offered to pay tribute at the end of the year, this must be a blow to the seemingly peaceful surrounding powers.Now the ministers in the court are not single-minded. If someone makes trouble, the quiet big countries around them may take the opportunity to get a share of the pie. When the Jin Dynasty had an accident, they had been eyeing it. If it wasn't for Huaiyan's rapid unification Three Kingdoms, they might have already made a move.
Lin Jinhua got up, met his eyes and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the emperor, you only need to take care of the affairs of the previous court, and I will take care of my child and me."
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her bright eyes, smiled slightly, and hugged her deeply, Hua'er, I will definitely protect you and the child.
In the afternoon of that day, the rumors in the capital were quickly suppressed, and the Lin family and the Xu family were not idle. In just three days, at least three people with the same appearance as Lin Jinhua were caught, and these people were also easy to identify. , with human skin masks on their faces, which can be easily uncovered after splashing water, but without exception, these people committed suicide immediately after being caught.
Xu Chengqing was still wondering who did this, and then saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Lang Yan, quilt, drop bag."
Lang Yuehan stood at the entrance of the alley, blocking the way of Xu Chengqing who was about to go out.
Xu Chengqing frowned: "How do you know?"
"My master originally planned to get rid of him for you, but after entering, he found that he had already been outsourced." Lang Yuehan's servant said.
"Are you going to kill Lang Yueyan?" Xu Chengqing was surprised for a moment, then remembered his life experience, and didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Then what are you doing here now?"
"Blindfolded."
"What my master means is that what's happening in the capital is just a cover-up. Those people deliberately pretended to be the empress, and they also deliberately let you find out. My master suspects that some people want to paralyze you first, and then Change the real queen." The boy said.
Xu Chengqing laughed when he heard the words: "Don't worry about that, these human skin masks are easy to be discovered as long as they are splashed with water."
Lang Yuehan's complexion became even more serious: "It's already been tricked."
"My master said..."
"I know what he means. He said I've been kept in the dark?" He couldn't figure out what the plan of the people behind it was. After all, it seems that they found someone to pretend to be Jinhua, which is still smart, but one after another , it seems a bit stupid, but what is the purpose of being so stupid?
Lang Yuehan couldn't figure it out either, unless there was another person who looked exactly like Jinhua in this world, their plan would only work.After that person changed with Jinhua in the future, Xu Chengqing and others will use the method they think is foolproof to verify, and they will fall into the trap.But as far as he knows, Jinhua has no siblings at all, no matter how similar people are in this world, they cannot be exactly the same...
Before he could speak, he heard a sound not far from the alley.
He immediately led people to chase him out, and Xu Chengqing wanted to ask again, and when he chased him out, Lang Yuehan was nowhere to be seen.
"Master Xu, it's great that you are here!"
A guard rushed over from the street, and when he saw Xu Chengqing, he got off his horse excitedly.
Seeing him, Xu Chengqing also felt strange: "Why didn't you guard His Royal Highness King Mu, what did you come out for?"
Chang Qing was overjoyed: "His Royal Highness King Mu is awake, but I don't know why the concubine didn't ask someone to invite a doctor, so I sneaked out. Mr. Xu, you can help your subordinates to invite an imperial doctor to Prince Mu's Mansion now." When he followed his master to the Xixia border to wait for Lin Jinhua to give birth, he met him once. Now Lin Jinhua is deep in the inner palace, so is Mo Yue. him.
Seeing his excited look, Xu Chengqing smiled: "Okay, you go back to the house and wait, I will help you find the imperial doctor."
"Thank you Master Xu!" Chang Qing said with a smile, and immediately turned and went back.
After he left, Xu Chengqing sent someone to arrange it, but he still felt a little strange, didn't it mean that the eldest grandson Qiye was drugged to be comatose for a year, why did he wake up at this time.
"My lord, shall we continue to investigate?" the attendant on one side asked.
Xu Chengqing glanced at Dali Temple not far from here, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Dali Temple first." Jinhua treated the girls around her like sisters, if Mo Xue was bullied in the prison It won't work.
He went to Dali Temple quickly, because he used to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and those who stayed here as servants recognized him to some extent. Now he is a hero who founded the country and a first-rank general. Naturally, he dared not neglect him, so he quickly sent People have been brought in.
After Xu Chengqing entered the prison, he immediately saw Mo Xue tied to the cross.
He immediately turned black: "Did you torture her?"
"Master Xu, Master Han ordered this, and the subordinates also obeyed the orders." Someone came up and said immediately.
Xu Chengqing looked at the scars all over Mo Xue's body. The backs of both hands were even scorched by iron, and ten fingers were crushed. He gritted his teeth and kicked the leading yamen servant away.
Xu Chengqing looked at the ready-made soldering iron that was still burning in the raging fire, and the paper and water used for waterboarding not far away. His anger was hard to dissipate, and he stepped forward and kicked the leader a few more times. foot.
"You bastard, don't you know who Mo Xue is? You bastards who dare to do such a thing to the empress's people!" Xu Chengqing cursed angrily.
Even if Han Beixiao gave the order, these people don't have to deal with such a heavy hand, but now Mo Xue, who is a master of martial arts, has completely passed out and is covered in blood, which shows how ruthless they are. .
"Come on, let me put her down!" Xu Chengqing said directly.
"Without my order, let me see who dares to do it!"
A male voice came directly from the corner, and then saw Han Beixiao in official uniform.
Han Bei was so angry that his beard trembled, and when he came to Xu Chengqing, he glanced at the government servant who was beaten to vomit blood, and said to Xu Chengqing with a sullen face: "Master Xu, this is Dali Temple, not the backyard of your Xu family. Could it be that today you still rely on your status as a relative of the emperor and disregard the law? If so, how do you make outsiders think of the empress empress, saying that she is worthless, and now you still want to protect the murderer?"
"Then do you need to punish a woman like this?" Xu Chengqing asked him back.
"Hmph. What's the matter with the girl? Murder violates the law, and I have the right to punish you. Someone, pour water on her to wake me up, and continue to torture her until she is willing to speak!" Han Beixiao snorted lightly.
"You——!" Xu Chengqing knew that he was targeting him on purpose, so he opened his mouth, and heard him say: "The more Mr. Xu is making trouble now, the more severe punishments will be used by the lower officials. We can't make this prisoner think that there is something wrong with Xu." Your Excellency supports you, so don’t take my Daqi’s law into consideration!” After that, Mo Xue, who had already faintly woke up when she saw a basin of cold water being poured down, went to get the burning red soldering iron in person, and directly He pressed down hard on Mo Xue's chest.
Mo Xue bit her lip tightly, even though her voice was so hoarse that she could smell blood, she still didn't make any wailing sounds, making Han Beixiao think she was just dumb several times.
Xu Chengqing was already intent on killing, and slowly drew out the sword in his hand, but just as he was about to strike, Master Jing Zhaoyin Fang came with the queen's oral instructions.
"At the order of the empress, the murder suspect, Mo Xue, is handed over to the Jingzhao Mansion, and I will try it myself!"
Master Fang looked at Han Beixiao who actually executed the execution himself, and knew that this person might still consider himself a Southern Xinjiang native and would not recognize Daqi.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chengqing stepped forward and hit Han Beixiao's arm hard with the scabbard. Everyone heard the sound of bones breaking, and they all came forward to support him who had taken a few steps back.
"Don't you put Miss Mo Xue down?" Xu Chengqing said coldly.
"You..." Han Beixiao was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he turned his head to look at Fang Fuyin and said, "I think you are all with the empress, please protect this person! Spread the word... "
"Master Han used to gossip outside when he wasn't handling cases in Southern Xinjiang?" Xu Chengqing sarcastically said.
Lord Fang also stepped forward and said, "Lord Han, don't worry, Jingzhao Mansion is just as fair, otherwise Fifth Prince Lang Yueyan would not have been imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion's prison without any punishment."
Han Beixiao was so choked that he couldn't speak, but Xu Chengqing immediately sent someone to carry Mo Xue out.
When Mo Xue left, she grabbed the corner of his clothes and blurted out the word 'Langyue', before passing out from the tremendous pain.
But when she said these two words, Han Beixiao's face turned pale.
Xu Chengqing kept his reaction in his eyes, and turned his eyes coldly: "If I remember correctly, Master Han's family has been staying thousands of miles away, and has never moved into the capital, right?"
"What do you mean!" Han Beixiao asked immediately.
"It's nothing interesting. I just think that a loyal and patriotic person like Mr. Han can let your family suffer in a place thousands of miles away. Don't worry, today I will beg the emperor to bring them all into the capital and accompany them. You and I will enjoy the blessing with you." Xu Chengqing said coldly, and then went out with Fangfu Yin.
As soon as he left, Han Beixiao was so angry that he kicked the servants who were supporting him: "You lowly Jinchao people."
The yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not dare to refute.
Han Beixiao watched the person being taken away, and then looked at his broken arm, and then endured the pain and went out quickly to the backyard of Dali Temple by himself.
"The person was taken away?" He Lianjing asked lightly.
"Yes, but don't worry, that girl Mo Xue has been tortured to the point of dying..."
"Snapped--!"
He Lianjing slapped him hard on the face with a backhand, then grabbed her broken arm tightly, and said coldly: "I will take your life, sooner or later, sooner or later."
Han Beixiao didn't know why he was like this all of a sudden, and the pain on his body made him have no time to think about it, so he just asked him: "Is the fifth prince really rescued by you? Where is he, I want to see him now."
"You'll see you soon, please settle the matter well." He Lianjing said, and threw him a note: "Follow the instructions above, don't delay."
Han Beixiao glanced down, but his legs were weak: "You... you want my life..."
"You can't die, it's just a matter of flesh and blood. After all, you are the young minister of Dali Temple now, and this official position is not low." Helianjing finished speaking with a little sarcasm, and slapped his broken arm again, saying "If it can't be done, I will break your limbs and make you a pig and hang you on the city wall!" After finishing speaking, he left quickly.
Han Beixiao looked at the note on the ground, gritted his teeth and grasped it into a ball. After taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and threw it into the lake on one side, then turned and left, but what he didn't even expect was that , before he left, a black shadow quickly passed by, picking up the paper that hadn't sunk from the water.
In the palace, when Lin Jinhua learned that Han Beixiao actually used severe punishments on Mo Xue, she knew that there might be problems with the group of veterans left over from the former Southern Xinjiang, and just now Mo Yue came to report that Xu Chengqing had hired an imperial physician Sending it to Prince Mu's Mansion is also very strange.
"Mo Yue, after late at night today, go to Mu Wang's mansion and ask Chang Qing what's going on." Before the antidote here was fully prepared, the eldest grandson Qiye woke up. Apart from grandson Xuanyin, she couldn't think of anyone else who was skilled in medicine, but if grandson Xuanyin intervened, she would feel that there was something wrong with this matter.
Mo Yue responded, and worried again: "Where is Mo Xue..."
"I've already taken care of Mr. Fang, and he will take good care of Mo Xue. But with Han Beixiao interfering like this, the matter may not be so easy to solve," she said.
Mo Yue could only sigh helplessly.
The master and servant hadn't finished speaking when a palace lady sent a pigeon to Mo Yue.
Mo Yue took off the note on the carrier pigeon's leg, only to realize that it was the message from Peanut.
"Ma'am, Peanut has found out about that eldest grandson Xuanyin and that junior sister." Mo Yue said pleasantly.
"Say."
"Changsun Xuanyin's junior sister was not born to the former owner of the Hundred Poison Valley, but he picked it up and raised him. She was trained and raised like Changsun Xuanyin, but I heard that when this junior sister grew up, the old Gu Initiated evil thoughts, and then the little junior sister died inexplicably, and a day later, the old valley owner also died." After Mo Yue finished speaking, most of the people present guessed what happened, maybe the little junior sister committed suicide because of humiliation, the eldest grandson Even though Xuan Yinxuan killed the old valley owner, he pretended to commit suicide.
"Did you say the woman's name?" Lin Jinhua's palms tightened slightly.
"I told you, it's called 'Xin Yi'."
After Mo Yue finished speaking, Lin Jinhua's heart sank, and she finally confirmed the identity of Xin Yi.But Changsun Xuanyin did so many things, it seems that it is not only to save the woman named Xin Yi, but must have other purposes, not revenge, not Jiangshan, so what is it?
When mentioning grandson Xuanyin, Lin Jinhua felt a deep sense of crisis. The more he knew about this person, the more dangerous he felt.
She always felt that something in her mind was getting clearer and clearer. She thought about it quietly, but before she could fully figure it out, someone rushed in from outside in a panic: "Mother, the old lady hanged herself."
"Did you die?" Although it might not be moral, Lin Jinhua actually hoped for an affirmative answer for a moment.
"Not yet, her life is hanging by a thread. Fortunately, she was rescued in time." The maid immediately brought her back to reality, and made up for it with a hammer: "The empress dowager said that the emperor must personally attend to the sickness, otherwise she will not be alive."
Lin Jinhua looked at the trembling palace maid with her head down, and let out a deep breath. This old queen, who is a demon, must have to toss Daqi away to be happy.
"Come here, show me." She wanted to see for herself whether her suicide was true.
"Your Majesty..." The maid who was talking back and forth knelt on the ground and trembled all over: "The Empress Dowager also said that she doesn't want to see you, otherwise she won't be alive."
Lin Jinhua was so angry that she wanted to laugh, although the old queen really committed suicide, and the rumors outside would definitely eat her up, but would she dare to commit suicide?
If she had the guts, she would die, so why bother with so many moths?
"Show me, I will personally serve you!" She squinted at Mo Feng, who understood, and immediately went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.
Lin Jinhua is really sharpening her sword, if the old queen doesn't die this time, she will let her taste what it feels like to be constantly being a monster!
But she had just walked out of the palace, looked at the road to the Palace of Compassion, and suddenly figured out something.
(End of this chapter)
Tao Mou could feel the murderous intent coming from behind him, but he was sure that Lin Jinhua and the others hadn't noticed him at all, so he managed to calm down and asked calmly, "You want to find me, but do you have something to cooperate with?"
"It doesn't look stupid." A cold female voice came, carrying a deep murderous look and resentment.
"Who are you?" Tao Mou turned slightly sideways to turn around, but only halfway through the turn, someone cut his neck.
"Know who I am and what the consequences are, do you know?"
The female voice continued to be heard calmly, and Tao Mou clenched his fists tightly.
"Since you didn't kill me, you came looking for me with a purpose. If you really don't want me to see you, why don't you tell me what your purpose is, and don't waste your time." Tao Mou Leng snort.
"Go to the window and have a look," the woman said.
Tao Mou looked sideways, and saw Lin Luzhi suddenly brought someone out with a notice in his hand, as if he had found the assassin.
Tao Mou frowned, and soon there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then someone came in and handed over the notice that was being distributed below, and the notice seemed to show Tao Mou's appearance.
He was stunned suddenly: "How did you find out..."
"Because I asked someone to tell them, how about it, Tao Mou, do you still have the capital to negotiate terms with me?" The woman laughed sarcastically.
Tao Mou gritted his teeth slightly: "What on earth are you looking for me for? Now I'm just an ordinary citizen, and I can't help you with anything."
"Of course you can help me. Mr. Tao is quite capable, otherwise, how could he break through the protection of the Lin family and attack Mrs. Lin Shao, and also get in touch with Lang Yueyan from the former southern Xinjiang?" She laughed and followed the man holding the dagger Nodding, the man finally released him.
"You have two choices now. One, you jump off this building by yourself and get caught by the Lin family. Two, help me. I will get rid of the person you want to get rid of for you. How about it?" the female voice continued to ask .
"You know who I'm going to get rid of?"
"It's nothing more than the woman who robbed you back then, and now the Lin family lives better than you."
As soon as Tao Mou heard it, he knew that this person must have been eyeing him a long time ago, otherwise it would be impossible to know so clearly.
He knew that now he was either going to die or listen to her!
He clenched his fist unwillingly, and said in a deep voice, "I promise you. Then can I know who you are now?"
"You will know sooner or later. From now on, I want you to contact all the available people in Qiannanjiang, and a good show will start soon." She laughed coldly, and she was carried away directly .
Tao Mou heard her voice fading away, and he slammed his fist on the wall unwillingly.
After there was no one in the room, he finally turned around, intending to ask his guards why they didn't guard this place, but he turned around, and all the guards he brought today had turned black and fell to the ground. Not breathing.
After Lin Jinhua heard the news of Wang Ruyan's assassination, she quickly and quietly drove out of the palace.
Lin's mansion was in chaos, Lin Luzhi searched for Tao Mou all the way, and Lin Jincheng walked back and forth outside the room in a hurry.
As soon as Lin Jinhua entered the room, she smelled a strong smell of blood.
"Miss!"
When the people in the room saw her, they immediately knelt down and saluted.
Lin Jinhua raised her hand, and looked at the grief-stricken elder brother and Wang Ruyan who was lying on the bed as white as paper: "Where is the injury?"
"Returning to your mother, the wound is on the heart. Although it didn't hurt the heart, but the young lady is weak and bleeding profusely. This time, I'm afraid it's..." The doctor on the side knelt on the ground trembling, Lin Jinhua didn't wait After he finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wang Ruyan's wrist, felt his pulse, and then immediately asked someone to prepare silver needles and a large amount of medicine.
The doctor saw her from the side, and thought she was not reconciled, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the young madam go through the last journey quietly..."
"I can still be saved." Lin Jinhua immediately said as she watched Lin Jincheng's face turn pale.Although I'm not very sure, but there is a possibility to try, it's better than letting Ru Yan go like this.
Soon the medicine and silver needles were delivered, and Lin Jinhua immediately grabbed the doctor to make the medicine, and then drove all the others out, leaving only Mo Xue to help before starting to administer the needles.
The Xu family rushed over at this moment, Xu Zhaozhao was trembling with anger: "Tao Mou, that stinky and shameless person, he still bears grudges for what happened back then, it is considered kind of the Lin family to punish his nine clans for no reason, and he actually repays his kindness like this.
Xu Chengqing thought of the person who looked exactly like Jin Hua that he had seen in the carriage this afternoon, and his complexion sank slightly, but seeing that the Lin family was immersed in sadness, he held back and didn't say anything.
Soon, Lin Jinhua in the room began to have people bring medicine in.
Lin Jincheng stood guard outside with his heart hanging in his throat, and it continued like this until dark, when the door finally opened from the inside.
Even a person like Mo Xue who practiced martial arts for a long time was exhausted, seeing Lin Jincheng who was haggard and guarding outside, he finally smiled and said, "I'm alive."
"Really!" Lin Jincheng immediately confirmed.
"Really, the empress is resting inside, everyone should keep their voices down after going in." Mo Xue smiled slightly.She usually has a cold look and doesn't like to laugh, but now when she smiles, she is extraordinarily eye-catching.
Xu Chengqing didn't pay much attention to it at first, and only took a quick glance, only to find that when she smiled, she had a sweet dimple, which was completely different from her usual cold and unfriendly appearance.
He deliberately took a step behind, and before entering the room, he smiled at her and said, "Mo Xue, you look beautiful when you smile."
Mo Xue was slightly taken aback, looked at his eyes that had no other meaning, and lowered her pupils slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your compliment."
"I remember you are from the rivers and lakes?"
"Yes."
"That's great. I've always envied you guys for being able to travel through the rivers and lakes. When I grow old, I will definitely not be an official. By then, you will become a famous heroine in the rivers and lakes, so cover me more." He joked.
For such a long time, Mo Xue felt dull in her heart. Hearing this, her smile faded, but her mind was a little more relaxed: "Yes."
Xu Chengqing smiled, and then stepped in.
Wang Ruyan is still awake, but it can be seen that the bleeding from the wound has stopped.
Lin Jinhua leaned weakly on the side of the warm couch, her complexion was a little pale.
"Hua'er, are you alright?" Mrs. Xu stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Lin Jinhua forced a smile and shook her head, but she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes. After finishing speaking, she slowly slipped on the cushion on one side and fell asleep like this.
Lin Jincheng looked at his beloved wife and then at his younger sister, feeling extremely grateful in his heart, when he could be his younger sister's reliance, so that she wouldn't be too tired in the palace.
When Lin Luzhi rushed back, everything in the mansion had just settled down.
She looked at her daughter who was sleeping on the warm couch, and then at her tired son and daughter-in-law, and she could only sigh deeply.
When the big guy came out, Xu Boshan didn't deliberately pull him to talk today, he just patted him on the shoulder and left.
When the Xu family returned, Xu Chengqing asked Xu Boshan specifically: "Father, do you know if Lin Jinhua has any relatives? Or, is there any woman who is about the same age as Jinhua today?"
"What are you asking these for?" Xu Boshan asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, just asking casually. I saw a woman who looked somewhat similar to Jinyu on the road before, and I thought my uncle had an outside room behind his back." Xu Chengqing said deliberately in a joking tone.
Seeing his strange appearance, Xu Boshan didn't try to put him off, but thought about it seriously: "If he looks very similar to Jinhua, he probably won't be a talent. Your uncle has been traveling all over the world for so many years. On the battlefield, although there were some servants, they were not allowed to give birth to children, but when your aunt gave birth to Jinhua, she gave birth to twins, but one of them was stillborn and was thrown away."
"Stillborn? Is it a woman too?"
"It's not clear. Except for your uncle and the midwife who knew about it, your aunt didn't know about it. She was afraid that she would be sad, so the Lin family never mentioned it for so many years. I also heard about it after your uncle was drunk. He mentioned something." After Xu Boshan finished speaking, he smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "There are so many people in this world, it's not surprising that there are a few who look similar, don't think about it, the emperor has only recently ascended the throne, My Daqi's current officialdom is also mixed with good and bad people, you have to be careful, don't be used by others, and it will cause trouble for Jinhua instead."
"Yes." Although Xu Chengqing had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, just thinking that he was dazzled for a while.
But soon, he knew that he was not dazzled, because the next morning, an informant reported that in the capital, he really saw a woman who looked exactly like Lin Jinhua, who was drinking tea near the flower building and had sex with a strange man. It was very ambiguous, and there were even some ministers who recognized the wrong person and ran to pay respects on purpose. Rumors and rumors in the capital suddenly increased. After all, it was well known that Lin Jinhua had left the palace the day before yesterday.
It was already the second day when Lin Jinhua heard the news.
After getting up early, Mo Xue reported the matter first, and she said directly: "You take someone to arrest that woman first, be careful."
"Yes!" Mo Xue responded and went immediately.
On one side, Mo Feng analyzed: "Your Majesty, could someone deliberately find a woman who looks similar to you to ruin your reputation?"
"To confuse the public, I'm worried that their purpose is not just to ruin my reputation by making such a fuss." After Lin Jinhua finished her dressing, she slowly got up to look at Wang Ruyan.
Wang Ruyan still hasn't woken up, but her complexion has improved a lot.
Lin Jinhua let her rest, prescribed the medicine again, and then prepared to go back to the palace.
There is a lot of gossip outside the palace, and if you stay in the palace, these rumors will naturally disappear.
But what Lin Jinhua didn't expect was that someone she had been worried about would make something happen around the end of the year, and she didn't expect it to be so soon.
After she returned to the palace, she immediately heard Cui Mama who was watching the movement in the palace come over: "Your Majesty, people in the palace are now discussing things outside the palace in private."
"What's the matter?"
"A person similar to you is with another man outside the palace..."
"I know." Lin Jinhua interrupted her, her eyes darkened. She still remembered the time when Madam Cui was impersonated, and she always remembered that Xianyue was good at disguise. Now they must be here The capital is already here, and such things are being done, just to target yourself?
She thought for a while before saying, "How about the Queen Mother?"
Thinking of this, Mammy Cui's face became more solemn: "The old lady is ill."
"What disease?"
"The imperial doctor can't tell clearly, but he can't eat, and his limbs are sore and weak." Cui Mama said.
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth curled up coldly. The old lady is trying to pretend to be sick. Could it be that she is colluding with people outside the palace?
She just finished speaking, Mo Xue, who had gone to work before, didn't come back, but the person who went out with her came back in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, something happened to Miss Mo Xue." The palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"what happened?"
"It was the person who was similar to you. Miss Mo Xue just went there, but she just touched her, and she fell to the ground foaming at the mouth. Everyone thought that sister Mo Xue killed her, so now put him Surround them and send them to Dali Temple." She said anxiously.
Looking at her face, Lin Jinhua hesitated for a moment, put down the teacup and got up slowly, walked up to her slowly, and said, "Raise your head."
The palace maid was startled: "Your Majesty..."
"I ask you to raise your head." Lin Jinhua's tone was already a little cold.If it was as dangerous as she said, how could she come back to report safely alone?Unless this court lady belongs to those people at all!
Seeing that Lin Jinhua had already sensed it, the maid gritted her teeth tightly, and taking advantage of Lin Jinhua's unpreparedness, she pulled out the hairpin from her head and stabbed fiercely at her abdomen.
Lin Jinhua had been prepared for a long time, and when she ducked back, the maid was about to catch up, but Mo Feng, who rushed over after hearing the news, grabbed her and pinned her to the ground.
Mo Feng was about to remove her chin, but she had bitten the poison sac in her mouth and was foaming at the mouth.
Mother Cui's heart jumped into her throat, and when she saw this, she hurriedly said: "Mother, how did this assassin get in here!"
"It has been raised in the palace for a long time. Didn't the palace say that the people in this palace are all left over from the previous dynasty, and they have long been people from all sides, but now they are just being used again." Lin Jinhua said, Looking at Mo Feng, Mo Feng immediately cupped his hands: "This servant will expedite the disposal of these people in the palace."
"That's good, something might happen to Mo Xue, Mo Yue, sneak out and take a look." Lin Jinhua ordered.
Mo Yue responded immediately and went out quickly.
Lin Jinhua looked at the dead girl in the room with a gloomy expression.
"Your maidservant, tell someone to dispose of the corpse..."
"No." Lin Jinhua shook her head.Grabbing them one by one is too slow, and it is too dangerous. They are good at disguise, so it is too easy to sneak into the palace. She wants to guard everyone around her, but she can't guard against it at all. It's better to take the initiative.
Nurse Cui paused, seeing her thoughtful, and asked softly, "What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
"Lead the snake out of the hole." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she glanced at Nanny Cui and raised her eyebrows slightly. Those people must be trying to find a way to get close to her...
Outside the palace, the maid before was right. The people outside did create the illusion that Mo Xue had killed people. The people from Dali Temple quickly took Mo Xue to the prison, and the snowflakes also flew to Zhao Huaiyan. desk.
The person who spoke back and forth was Han Beixiao, the new Dali Minister of Dali Temple, who was the central figure among the former ministers left over from southern Xinjiang.
What Zhao Huaiyan valued was his ability, and now that Nanjiang was dead after all, and Lang Yueyan was imprisoned in the government office, so he didn't suspect him.
"Your Majesty, what happened this time was really bad. Now there are rumors that the empress killed someone just because she looked like her. Although I dared to arrest the assailant, it was the empress's fault." Personal maid, I dare not dispose of it without authorization, so please ask the emperor to make a decision." Han Beixiao knelt down and said respectfully.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't raise her head, she just said: "Let's take it into custody first, this matter concerns the queen's reputation, I will personally send someone to investigate."
Hearing this, Han Beixiao frowned slightly. He neither blindly protected Lin Jinhua nor blindly believed in himself, which would be troublesome...
"Your majesty, the ministers believe in the empress. This time it must be a misunderstanding. Now that the empress's personal maid has been arrested, the minister is worried that the empress will not get used to it. Otherwise, I will send the maid back..."
"The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people." Zhao Huaiyan raised her eyes and looked at him lightly: "I never said that I would let her go, and the queen never said either. Don't be so anxious, Mr. Han. After the matter is clarified, she will be released soon. .”
"Yes." Han Beixiao hurriedly lowered his eyes, but the emotion on his face sank a lot.
He quietly glanced at Zhao Huaiyan again, seeing that he was just looking down at the memorial with his head down, he didn't say anything to him, he saluted and left.
As soon as he left, Zhao Huaiyan put down the vermilion pen, looked at his back, and said, "Great talent."
"Subordinates are here."
"Send someone to keep an eye on him." Just now, his proposal seemed to be for the sake of himself and Hua'er, but everywhere he was trying to guide him to release Mo Xue.When everyone outside felt that the evidence was convincing, if he released Mo Xue without authorization, people would have to catch him saying that he was a foolish king who only wanted to spoil the queen. Then Hua'er's situation would be even more difficult.
Gao Zhi immediately complied.
After Gao Zhi left, he called the dark guard again.
Today's hidden guards are a group of people he selected from the army, they only listen to his orders, and no one knows their existence.
"emperor."
"Immediately search for Xianyue and Changsun Xuanyin all the way, and if found, they will be killed without mercy." Zhao Huaiyan heard the rumors of the past few days, and with the fact that He Lianjing always went to the Valley of Poisons, he probably guessed that Xianyue was not at all. not dead.
"Yes." The person in the dark answered and disappeared quickly.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the memorial on the table with a slightly cold face, put it aside directly, got up and went to the harem.
At that time, Lin Jinzheng was sitting by the warm couch playing with the children. I don't know if it was because of Jiu'er's vivaciousness. He ate a lot and was much fatter than Quiet Grape. He was crawling on the warm couch in a small pink robe. Come to get up, ask the nanny to shake the rattle for a while, and babble while pointing at the pastry on the low table, with a pair of bright eyes.
Putaozhi sat obediently in Lin Jinhua's arms, babbling and talking, but not making a fuss. Lin Jinhua teased him a little, and he smiled cheerfully. Average impact.
He felt more at ease, went into the back room, hugged Jiu'er who was waving his chubby arms towards him, lifted her up a bit, and then put her on the side.
But before he could sit still, Jiu'er grabbed Zhao Huaiyan's dragon robe with his dirty hand that was grabbing cakes, and looked at him with a silly smile.
The nurse was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down: "It's the servant girl who didn't teach well, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."
"Such a young child, what can I teach you?" Zhao Huaiyan turned around and took a handkerchief, and wiped Jiu'er's hands, only to see his son looking straight at him, smiling slightly, and opened his hands towards him, Putao also immediately crawled towards him.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were bent when she smiled, lovely child, gentle husband, this life has no regrets.
After laughing and making noise with the child for a while, the wet nurse took it down.
"Let's all go down." Zhao Huaiyan said.
Lin Jinhua finally sighed softly after the courtiers retreated knowingly.
Zhao Huaiyan stepped forward to hold her in his arms and sat on the side of the warm couch, and said softly: "Are you bothering about things outside the palace?"
"No, the concubine is worried. These two children are so noisy when they are young. How good it will be when they grow up." To think, to think wildly, to plan meticulously, in short, there is no idle time.
Zhao Huaiyan smiled slightly after hearing that, "Just take good care of yourself, child, if you feel noisy, send someone to the imperial study, and I will always watch over you."
Lin Jinhua chuckled, if that was the case, those ministers who were bored in the imperial study all day long would have their heads blown by wine.
She was about to speak when she sensed something was wrong with Zhao Huaiyan, she said softly, "What is the emperor worried about?"
"Things outside the palace are becoming more and more unpredictable, and I can spend less and less time with you and the child. I am worried that if I am negligent, something irreversible will happen again." He said.
Lin Jinhua knew that his worries were not unreasonable. Now that Daqi had become an absolute power, and many small countries offered to pay tribute at the end of the year, this must be a blow to the seemingly peaceful surrounding powers.Now the ministers in the court are not single-minded. If someone makes trouble, the quiet big countries around them may take the opportunity to get a share of the pie. When the Jin Dynasty had an accident, they had been eyeing it. If it wasn't for Huaiyan's rapid unification Three Kingdoms, they might have already made a move.
Lin Jinhua got up, met his eyes and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the emperor, you only need to take care of the affairs of the previous court, and I will take care of my child and me."
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her bright eyes, smiled slightly, and hugged her deeply, Hua'er, I will definitely protect you and the child.
In the afternoon of that day, the rumors in the capital were quickly suppressed, and the Lin family and the Xu family were not idle. In just three days, at least three people with the same appearance as Lin Jinhua were caught, and these people were also easy to identify. , with human skin masks on their faces, which can be easily uncovered after splashing water, but without exception, these people committed suicide immediately after being caught.
Xu Chengqing was still wondering who did this, and then saw someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Lang Yan, quilt, drop bag."
Lang Yuehan stood at the entrance of the alley, blocking the way of Xu Chengqing who was about to go out.
Xu Chengqing frowned: "How do you know?"
"My master originally planned to get rid of him for you, but after entering, he found that he had already been outsourced." Lang Yuehan's servant said.
"Are you going to kill Lang Yueyan?" Xu Chengqing was surprised for a moment, then remembered his life experience, and didn't ask any more questions, just said: "Then what are you doing here now?"
"Blindfolded."
"What my master means is that what's happening in the capital is just a cover-up. Those people deliberately pretended to be the empress, and they also deliberately let you find out. My master suspects that some people want to paralyze you first, and then Change the real queen." The boy said.
Xu Chengqing laughed when he heard the words: "Don't worry about that, these human skin masks are easy to be discovered as long as they are splashed with water."
Lang Yuehan's complexion became even more serious: "It's already been tricked."
"My master said..."
"I know what he means. He said I've been kept in the dark?" He couldn't figure out what the plan of the people behind it was. After all, it seems that they found someone to pretend to be Jinhua, which is still smart, but one after another , it seems a bit stupid, but what is the purpose of being so stupid?
Lang Yuehan couldn't figure it out either, unless there was another person who looked exactly like Jinhua in this world, their plan would only work.After that person changed with Jinhua in the future, Xu Chengqing and others will use the method they think is foolproof to verify, and they will fall into the trap.But as far as he knows, Jinhua has no siblings at all, no matter how similar people are in this world, they cannot be exactly the same...
Before he could speak, he heard a sound not far from the alley.
He immediately led people to chase him out, and Xu Chengqing wanted to ask again, and when he chased him out, Lang Yuehan was nowhere to be seen.
"Master Xu, it's great that you are here!"
A guard rushed over from the street, and when he saw Xu Chengqing, he got off his horse excitedly.
Seeing him, Xu Chengqing also felt strange: "Why didn't you guard His Royal Highness King Mu, what did you come out for?"
Chang Qing was overjoyed: "His Royal Highness King Mu is awake, but I don't know why the concubine didn't ask someone to invite a doctor, so I sneaked out. Mr. Xu, you can help your subordinates to invite an imperial doctor to Prince Mu's Mansion now." When he followed his master to the Xixia border to wait for Lin Jinhua to give birth, he met him once. Now Lin Jinhua is deep in the inner palace, so is Mo Yue. him.
Seeing his excited look, Xu Chengqing smiled: "Okay, you go back to the house and wait, I will help you find the imperial doctor."
"Thank you Master Xu!" Chang Qing said with a smile, and immediately turned and went back.
After he left, Xu Chengqing sent someone to arrange it, but he still felt a little strange, didn't it mean that the eldest grandson Qiye was drugged to be comatose for a year, why did he wake up at this time.
"My lord, shall we continue to investigate?" the attendant on one side asked.
Xu Chengqing glanced at Dali Temple not far from here, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Dali Temple first." Jinhua treated the girls around her like sisters, if Mo Xue was bullied in the prison It won't work.
He went to Dali Temple quickly, because he used to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and those who stayed here as servants recognized him to some extent. Now he is a hero who founded the country and a first-rank general. Naturally, he dared not neglect him, so he quickly sent People have been brought in.
After Xu Chengqing entered the prison, he immediately saw Mo Xue tied to the cross.
He immediately turned black: "Did you torture her?"
"Master Xu, Master Han ordered this, and the subordinates also obeyed the orders." Someone came up and said immediately.
Xu Chengqing looked at the scars all over Mo Xue's body. The backs of both hands were even scorched by iron, and ten fingers were crushed. He gritted his teeth and kicked the leading yamen servant away.
Xu Chengqing looked at the ready-made soldering iron that was still burning in the raging fire, and the paper and water used for waterboarding not far away. His anger was hard to dissipate, and he stepped forward and kicked the leader a few more times. foot.
"You bastard, don't you know who Mo Xue is? You bastards who dare to do such a thing to the empress's people!" Xu Chengqing cursed angrily.
Even if Han Beixiao gave the order, these people don't have to deal with such a heavy hand, but now Mo Xue, who is a master of martial arts, has completely passed out and is covered in blood, which shows how ruthless they are. .
"Come on, let me put her down!" Xu Chengqing said directly.
"Without my order, let me see who dares to do it!"
A male voice came directly from the corner, and then saw Han Beixiao in official uniform.
Han Bei was so angry that his beard trembled, and when he came to Xu Chengqing, he glanced at the government servant who was beaten to vomit blood, and said to Xu Chengqing with a sullen face: "Master Xu, this is Dali Temple, not the backyard of your Xu family. Could it be that today you still rely on your status as a relative of the emperor and disregard the law? If so, how do you make outsiders think of the empress empress, saying that she is worthless, and now you still want to protect the murderer?"
"Then do you need to punish a woman like this?" Xu Chengqing asked him back.
"Hmph. What's the matter with the girl? Murder violates the law, and I have the right to punish you. Someone, pour water on her to wake me up, and continue to torture her until she is willing to speak!" Han Beixiao snorted lightly.
"You——!" Xu Chengqing knew that he was targeting him on purpose, so he opened his mouth, and heard him say: "The more Mr. Xu is making trouble now, the more severe punishments will be used by the lower officials. We can't make this prisoner think that there is something wrong with Xu." Your Excellency supports you, so don’t take my Daqi’s law into consideration!” After that, Mo Xue, who had already faintly woke up when she saw a basin of cold water being poured down, went to get the burning red soldering iron in person, and directly He pressed down hard on Mo Xue's chest.
Mo Xue bit her lip tightly, even though her voice was so hoarse that she could smell blood, she still didn't make any wailing sounds, making Han Beixiao think she was just dumb several times.
Xu Chengqing was already intent on killing, and slowly drew out the sword in his hand, but just as he was about to strike, Master Jing Zhaoyin Fang came with the queen's oral instructions.
"At the order of the empress, the murder suspect, Mo Xue, is handed over to the Jingzhao Mansion, and I will try it myself!"
Master Fang looked at Han Beixiao who actually executed the execution himself, and knew that this person might still consider himself a Southern Xinjiang native and would not recognize Daqi.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chengqing stepped forward and hit Han Beixiao's arm hard with the scabbard. Everyone heard the sound of bones breaking, and they all came forward to support him who had taken a few steps back.
"Don't you put Miss Mo Xue down?" Xu Chengqing said coldly.
"You..." Han Beixiao was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he turned his head to look at Fang Fuyin and said, "I think you are all with the empress, please protect this person! Spread the word... "
"Master Han used to gossip outside when he wasn't handling cases in Southern Xinjiang?" Xu Chengqing sarcastically said.
Lord Fang also stepped forward and said, "Lord Han, don't worry, Jingzhao Mansion is just as fair, otherwise Fifth Prince Lang Yueyan would not have been imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion's prison without any punishment."
Han Beixiao was so choked that he couldn't speak, but Xu Chengqing immediately sent someone to carry Mo Xue out.
When Mo Xue left, she grabbed the corner of his clothes and blurted out the word 'Langyue', before passing out from the tremendous pain.
But when she said these two words, Han Beixiao's face turned pale.
Xu Chengqing kept his reaction in his eyes, and turned his eyes coldly: "If I remember correctly, Master Han's family has been staying thousands of miles away, and has never moved into the capital, right?"
"What do you mean!" Han Beixiao asked immediately.
"It's nothing interesting. I just think that a loyal and patriotic person like Mr. Han can let your family suffer in a place thousands of miles away. Don't worry, today I will beg the emperor to bring them all into the capital and accompany them. You and I will enjoy the blessing with you." Xu Chengqing said coldly, and then went out with Fangfu Yin.
As soon as he left, Han Beixiao was so angry that he kicked the servants who were supporting him: "You lowly Jinchao people."
The yamen servants looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not dare to refute.
Han Beixiao watched the person being taken away, and then looked at his broken arm, and then endured the pain and went out quickly to the backyard of Dali Temple by himself.
"The person was taken away?" He Lianjing asked lightly.
"Yes, but don't worry, that girl Mo Xue has been tortured to the point of dying..."
"Snapped--!"
He Lianjing slapped him hard on the face with a backhand, then grabbed her broken arm tightly, and said coldly: "I will take your life, sooner or later, sooner or later."
Han Beixiao didn't know why he was like this all of a sudden, and the pain on his body made him have no time to think about it, so he just asked him: "Is the fifth prince really rescued by you? Where is he, I want to see him now."
"You'll see you soon, please settle the matter well." He Lianjing said, and threw him a note: "Follow the instructions above, don't delay."
Han Beixiao glanced down, but his legs were weak: "You... you want my life..."
"You can't die, it's just a matter of flesh and blood. After all, you are the young minister of Dali Temple now, and this official position is not low." Helianjing finished speaking with a little sarcasm, and slapped his broken arm again, saying "If it can't be done, I will break your limbs and make you a pig and hang you on the city wall!" After finishing speaking, he left quickly.
Han Beixiao looked at the note on the ground, gritted his teeth and grasped it into a ball. After taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and threw it into the lake on one side, then turned and left, but what he didn't even expect was that , before he left, a black shadow quickly passed by, picking up the paper that hadn't sunk from the water.
In the palace, when Lin Jinhua learned that Han Beixiao actually used severe punishments on Mo Xue, she knew that there might be problems with the group of veterans left over from the former Southern Xinjiang, and just now Mo Yue came to report that Xu Chengqing had hired an imperial physician Sending it to Prince Mu's Mansion is also very strange.
"Mo Yue, after late at night today, go to Mu Wang's mansion and ask Chang Qing what's going on." Before the antidote here was fully prepared, the eldest grandson Qiye woke up. Apart from grandson Xuanyin, she couldn't think of anyone else who was skilled in medicine, but if grandson Xuanyin intervened, she would feel that there was something wrong with this matter.
Mo Yue responded, and worried again: "Where is Mo Xue..."
"I've already taken care of Mr. Fang, and he will take good care of Mo Xue. But with Han Beixiao interfering like this, the matter may not be so easy to solve," she said.
Mo Yue could only sigh helplessly.
The master and servant hadn't finished speaking when a palace lady sent a pigeon to Mo Yue.
Mo Yue took off the note on the carrier pigeon's leg, only to realize that it was the message from Peanut.
"Ma'am, Peanut has found out about that eldest grandson Xuanyin and that junior sister." Mo Yue said pleasantly.
"Say."
"Changsun Xuanyin's junior sister was not born to the former owner of the Hundred Poison Valley, but he picked it up and raised him. She was trained and raised like Changsun Xuanyin, but I heard that when this junior sister grew up, the old Gu Initiated evil thoughts, and then the little junior sister died inexplicably, and a day later, the old valley owner also died." After Mo Yue finished speaking, most of the people present guessed what happened, maybe the little junior sister committed suicide because of humiliation, the eldest grandson Even though Xuan Yinxuan killed the old valley owner, he pretended to commit suicide.
"Did you say the woman's name?" Lin Jinhua's palms tightened slightly.
"I told you, it's called 'Xin Yi'."
After Mo Yue finished speaking, Lin Jinhua's heart sank, and she finally confirmed the identity of Xin Yi.But Changsun Xuanyin did so many things, it seems that it is not only to save the woman named Xin Yi, but must have other purposes, not revenge, not Jiangshan, so what is it?
When mentioning grandson Xuanyin, Lin Jinhua felt a deep sense of crisis. The more he knew about this person, the more dangerous he felt.
She always felt that something in her mind was getting clearer and clearer. She thought about it quietly, but before she could fully figure it out, someone rushed in from outside in a panic: "Mother, the old lady hanged herself."
"Did you die?" Although it might not be moral, Lin Jinhua actually hoped for an affirmative answer for a moment.
"Not yet, her life is hanging by a thread. Fortunately, she was rescued in time." The maid immediately brought her back to reality, and made up for it with a hammer: "The empress dowager said that the emperor must personally attend to the sickness, otherwise she will not be alive."
Lin Jinhua looked at the trembling palace maid with her head down, and let out a deep breath. This old queen, who is a demon, must have to toss Daqi away to be happy.
"Come here, show me." She wanted to see for herself whether her suicide was true.
"Your Majesty..." The maid who was talking back and forth knelt on the ground and trembled all over: "The Empress Dowager also said that she doesn't want to see you, otherwise she won't be alive."
Lin Jinhua was so angry that she wanted to laugh, although the old queen really committed suicide, and the rumors outside would definitely eat her up, but would she dare to commit suicide?
If she had the guts, she would die, so why bother with so many moths?
"Show me, I will personally serve you!" She squinted at Mo Feng, who understood, and immediately went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning.
Lin Jinhua is really sharpening her sword, if the old queen doesn't die this time, she will let her taste what it feels like to be constantly being a monster!
But she had just walked out of the palace, looked at the road to the Palace of Compassion, and suddenly figured out something.
