Chapter 178
Changsun Qiye found out that he had been cheated after searching around, but fortunately, the person he stayed with Zhao Huaiyan had sent news that he had found Amu.
"My lord, let's go back." The boy on the side couldn't bear to see his joy and disappointment when he knew the news that Lin Jinhua had been found: "Your lord, you go back to the city. Is the concubine still there?" .”
"It doesn't matter whether she is here or not." Changsun Qiye smiled lightly. It doesn't matter if she is here, but she just wants to use her all day long, even if she is not here, it seems that she is not so sad.
Seeing this, the servant sighed softly, and said, "Do you want to meet the emperor and empress?"
"No need." Changsun Qi Ye hurriedly said, but after he finished speaking, the regret in his heart was suffocated in his heart, which made him ache.
Why did he miss this one step, obviously he could find A Mu one step earlier than Zhao Huaiyan, in this way, he might be able to take her away from all these troubles...
Thinking of this, he only felt a stabbing pain in his chest, and then a fishy-sweet taste rose in his throat.
Seeing this, the people on one side immediately went to ask for a doctor, but the grandson Qiye just shook his head: "No need, it's fine."
"But my lord..."
"Go get the carriage ready." He said softly, and walked out.
It has just rained, and the air is still filled with the aroma of soil and flowers, which makes people feel at ease and at ease.
It's just that it rained heavily last night, and the flowers in the corridor that were not taken back in the future were scattered all over the ground.The eldest grandson Qi Ye thought he was not a sentimental person, but now he also felt that those poems that hurt the spring and autumn were really appropriate. Luohong is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers.
He smiled slightly, as if he had made up his mind.
Soon, the carriage was ready, and he also drove forward quickly in the carriage.
On the official road not far from the town, assassins soon surrounded him.
Changsun Qiye noticed the movement from a distance, and finally opened his mouth when the carriage had to stop.
"The person who wants to arrest me now must be Uncle Huang." He said softly.
When the people outside heard the words, they looked at each other, then surrounded his carriage and said to him: "Your Highness, my master wants to see you."
The corner of Changsun Qiye's mouth curled up: "Use me as a bait to force the emperor to hand over Amu, right?"
Those people didn't make a sound, and the eldest grandson Qiye also knew that his guess was almost inseparable. He, the emperor's uncle, hadn't seen him for many years, and he was still so cold and ruthless.
He opened the curtain of the car, looked at the people in front of him and said, "Either kill me today, or let me go."
Seeing this, those people could only say in embarrassment: "Your Highness, I'm sorry!" After saying that, a group of people rushed forward.
The eldest grandson Qiye also brought some people with him, but compared with the eldest grandson Xuanyin's people, they were just like a car.
Since the grandson Qiye knew the purpose of the grandson Xuanyin, he would not let him take him away, so he turned around and got out of the carriage, and quickly went to the side of the mountain.
The residual poison in his body was still unclear, but it was easy to go up the mountain, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Changsun Xuanyin was already waiting for him on the mountain.
When he reached the edge of the cliff, he saw the eldest grandson Xuanyin in black clothes standing on the edge of the cliff. The wind blew his robe up, his calm face seemed to be about to fade away.
The more this was the case, the more angry Changsun Qiye felt.
"Do you think it's fun for Uncle Huang to tease us like this?" He asked coldly.
"Do you think it's a tease?" Changsun Xuanyin smiled slightly, looked at the clouds rising from the cliff, and said: "Since I was kicked out of Xixia, I have no heart or hatred for you. It’s better to say that you are just a stone blocking my way.”
"Really?" Changsun Qiye smiled coldly, but Changsun Xuanyin looked at him with a sideways smile: "Come back with me, at least, I can cure the poison on your body, and you can still live well."
After Changsun Xuanyin finished speaking, his people in the forest had already come out to say that Changsun Qiye's retreat was blocked.
The eldest grandson Qi Ye didn't even look back, Bao Liang looked at him: "Is life easier to be a ruthless person?"
"It's hard." Of course Changsun Xuanyin knew it was hard, but he had to live with it.
"Then why are you still..."
"Things are hard, do you want to die?" Changsun Xuanyin still smiled lightly, showing no joy, anger or sadness.
Grandson Qiye looked at his face, feeling a little dazed for a moment, as if the person in front of him who had been smiling faintly was full of sadness.
But even so, he can't be a burden to Zhao Huaiyan and A Mu, he wants to use himself as a bait, his own life should already die.For him, life is not easy, that's all.
He laughed softly: "Uncle Huang has been kicked out of Xixia for so many years, in fact, he still really minds."
Changsun Xuanyin looked at him with a gentle smile, do you mind?Presumably he minded, but he had already hypnotized himself and told himself not to mind.
There are not many things in this world that he can care about, only a few things. The emperor's brother is dead, the Gong family is ruined, and Jiang Yin'er's fate is even more miserable. He doesn't want to waste his time and energy on hatred anymore.
Thinking of this, before he could open his mouth, the eldest grandson Qiye in front of him had already taken advantage of this moment to turn his head and jump off the abyss.
"Qi Ye!"
The grandson Qiye didn't answer, and let his body keep falling down. He could see the fear and sadness that he showed at that moment, but so what?He just didn't want to be a burden to Amu. Since he couldn't help him in anything, he would rather end his life early than become a stumbling block to Amu.
Ah Mu, she will be very safe by the side of the emperor...
He fell into the mist, as if he could still see the woman in red in the mist, smiling at him, the sun was shining brightly, but the person beside her had already held her hand, and that person was the emperor brother that he could never reach in this life.
On the cliff, Changsun Xuanyin only felt a piercing pain.
Ku Lian quickly supported him and worried: "Master, what's wrong with you!"
"How dare he..." Changsun Xuanyin couldn't figure out why Changsun Qiye would choose to jump down without hesitation, even if he could keep working hard to live.
"Master, you are not feeling well, go back and rest first." Ku Lian looked at his slightly pale face and said urgently.
Changsun Xuanyin took a deep breath, and the cool mountain mist rushed from his nose into his heart, making him seem to be numb from the cold.
"Go back." He finally opened his eyes, looking at the cliff again, he no longer had much emotion.
"Yes." Ku Lian carefully supported him, turned her head to look at the misty cliff, her brows furrowed.
The news was quickly spread to the ears of Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan, but it was not the eldest grandson Qiye who fell off the cliff, but he was caught by the eldest grandson Xuanyin and sent to the capital of Fanbang.
Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Huaiyan, who was sitting at the top and was thinking, and then at Ah Zhong, who was following beside him, and asked softly, "Are you sure, is it really King Mu?"
"It's His Royal Highness Mu Wang, but the strange thing is that His Royal Highness Mu Wang didn't show up on this journey." Ah Zhong said.
"Didn't show up?"
"Yes, he wears a veiled hat all the way, and he is rarely seen walking outside. Usually he is either in the carriage or in the room of the inn." Ah Zhong said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinhua immediately said, "Look for someone to confirm the identity of that person first."
Zhao Huaiyan raised his head to look at her, and said: "But the contact with him is indeed broken, and now all the people around him are also missing."
"The emperor is suspicious, something happened to him..." Lin Jinhua also became nervous.
Although Zhao Huaiyan didn't make a sound, she already had such doubts in her heart.He knew that the eldest grandson Qiye left someone to follow him, and he also left someone by his side. Now that the two parties have lost contact, the eldest grandson Xuanyin released the news at this time that he would send the eldest grandson Qiye to the hospital. The capital city of Fanbang is an obvious strategy to lure snakes out of their holes.
Lin Jinhua's complexion also turned serious, if that's the case, it's better to go to the capital, maybe that person is really Qi Ye, and I have to make people look for it again.
Changsun Xuanyin can't see any joy or anger, but his heart is very deep. At the beginning, he was able to leave the capital alone, which shows that he has a cold personality. Show mercy.
"emperor……"
"I will send you back to Daqi first." Zhao Huaiyan said directly.The purpose of the eldest grandson Xuanyin was nothing more than Hua'er, so he sent Hua'er away first, and then went to the eldest grandson Qiye.Changsun Qiye is not a stupid person, nor would he be caught by Changsun Xuanyin so easily.
"But……"
"Your Majesty, you'd better listen to the Emperor." Ah Zhong hurriedly persuaded, now the Emperor's actions are all around the Empress, as long as the Empress is safe, the Emperor can also use his hands and feet.
But when Lin Jinhua heard these words, she was stunned for a moment. It turned out that her staying here was just a drag...
"Back off!" Zhao Huaiyan gave Ah Zhong a cold look.
Ah Zhong knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly saluted and left.
After he left, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Lin Jinhua, but Lin Jinhua just laughed: "The concubine understands, it's not too late, the emperor makes arrangements earlier, the concubine leaves as soon as possible, go back to Daqi first, and then find a way to cooperate with the emperor. "
"Ha'er..."
"The emperor doesn't believe me?" Lin Jinhua asked with a smile.
Zhao Huaiyan knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, so she didn't say any more, he just stepped forward and hugged her in his arms: "Everything I do for you is done willingly and with joy."
"Well, I know." Lin Jinhua leaned in his arms sullenly, listening to his gentle voice, trying to hold back the tears that were about to flow.
Her being so passive this time was indeed a hindrance, and she shouldn't feel wronged.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her, looked down at her thin body, and also blamed himself, if he could worry more, maybe she would not have the grievance she is now.
Soon, they agreed to send Lin Jinhua away secretly, Zhao Huaiyan attracted the eyes of grandson Xuanyin and Fanbang, and then sent someone to rescue grandson Qiye.
That night, there was a big commotion at Ling Mo's side.
The defenders on the border of Fanbang hurriedly prepared their troops for defense, but Ling Mo did not attack. Instead, he divided his troops into three groups and went back to the territory of Daqi with full armor. Two days later, after confirming that they really had no intention of attacking Fanbang, they put down their guard.
At this time, Lin Jinhua had already arrived at the border disguised as a patrolling soldier.
Crossing the border is actually not difficult, as long as there is a document for customs clearance, and Fanbang has been impoverished for so many years, and from time to time he has to cross the border to get some autumn wind next door, so there is not even a town on the border, it is just a wall built of earth. High and easy to flip over.
"Your Majesty, the emperor asked his subordinates to send you here, and someone will meet you on the opposite side." Ah Zhong, who was pretending to be a soldier, followed behind her.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the border, and saw that the guards on the low earthen wall were not strict. Perhaps Fanbang relied on his strength, and did not pay attention to the unwarlike and relatively thin Daqi soldiers, so he had no special precautions. .
She nodded to Ah Zhong, and Ah Zhong looked at the people behind him, and soon pointed to something and shouted: "There are assassins!"
"Assassin, where is it?"
"I saw it just now, hurry up, maybe it's Daqi's spies!" Ah Zhong's Fanbang words have been spoken very smoothly, those people didn't hear anything strange, and quickly chased after him.
Lin Jinhua also took advantage of the crowd looking around, and quickly ran towards the low wall under the protection of the guards.
With so many experiences of surviving outside, she is no longer the young lady in the boudoir who couldn't lift her shoulders and resist. She rushed to the wall, and someone bent down to use it as a cushion for her, and she quickly stepped on it. Go up and climb over the low wall in an instant.
By the time the people inside the wall reacted, she had already gone to the other side of the wall.
"Someone escaped, chase after!"
Seeing this, the guard wanted to lead people to chase him without saying a word, but the city gate was opened, and Ling Mo, the commander-in-chief of Qi, who thought it was a rebellion, was riding on a horse and holding a sharp knife and looking at him: "Why, Fanbang is going to fight with you!" Shall I go to war?"
"you are not……"
"What?" Ling Mo asked him coldly.
Ling Mo is also a veteran for many years. He has fought against Fanbang countless times, so the current guard naturally recognizes him.
Seeing this, the guard only looked around behind him, but he didn't see the person who escaped just now, so he couldn't help saying: "We have important people who have escaped to Daqi..."
"Could it be that your Fanbang's army is all dead, and someone escaped to my Daqi easily after getting past your layers of defense?" Ling Mo satirized him mercilessly.
"You—!" The guard was so angry that his face was ashen, he just gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we are not careful, please ask Chief Ling to return him to Fanbang!"
Ling Mo sneered, turned his head to look at the elite soldiers behind him, and said, "Did you see someone turn over from the next door?"
"No!" All the soldiers answered in unison.
"Mr. Ling, why do you..."
"I think you let people come here on purpose, and you didn't let the general find out. Could it be that you Fanbang is going to send assassins to murder me!" Ling Mohan asked, and raised his hand and pulled out knife.
The guard saw that he was about to attack, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he still endured it. After all, if he really wanted to fight, the current Fanbang would definitely suffer!
Hearing this, he simply gritted his teeth: "Forget it, just treat it as my blindness..." After finishing speaking, he looked behind Ling Mo unwillingly, and he did not see anyone, so he turned and left. Has quietly mixed in the crowd back.
When Fanbang's city gate was closed again, Lin Jinhua, who was covered by the army, finally showed his face.
Ling Mo immediately dismounted and saluted with a very respectful attitude.
"Your Majesty, I want you to follow your Majesty back to the palace and immediately arrest the demon girl!" He had received a letter from Zhao Huaiyan himself, so he naturally believed that the current empress in the palace was a fake.
"Don't be in a hurry." If Xin Yi is pushed into a hurry, I don't know what she will do. The most important thing now is to cooperate with Huai Yan and take them down completely!
But it wasn't just her, even Zhao Huaiyan ignored Xin Yi's plan for more than ten years.
In the palace, when she received the news from the people below, she immediately laughed: "You said that grandson Xuanyin arrested grandson Qi Ye and went to the capital of Fanbang?"
"Yes, ma'am, is there anything strange about this?"
"Of course there is something wrong, Lin Jinhua has escaped." A round pearl she was still holding in her hand was immediately crushed into powder.
Mei Er didn't believe it on the side: "How could it be? Our people have been watching, but the owner of the valley has let Lin Jinhua go..."
Xin Yi chuckled: "He underestimated Lin Jinhua, and I underestimated Huaiyan. He should be in Fanbang now..." She remembered the day when he gently told herself that he would leave for a while, the deer bumping and worrying in her heart , I really felt ridiculous for a moment.The men in the world are all talkers, and they may be a little sincere to others, but when they meet her, they will only let them down.
She shook off the powder in her hand, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and smiled slightly: "The person I asked you to find, have you found it?"
"Your Majesty, you really want to go this far..."
"They forced me." After she finished speaking, the palace maid arrived with Putao.
Putao looked at the person above him, blinked, and saluted with a limp body.
Xin Yi looked at his bright black eyes like Lin Jinhua's, and smiled slightly: "Pao, come to the queen mother."
The maid immediately helped the child forward, Xin Yi leaned over slightly, and smiled at him: "Does Putao like playing chess?"
"Chess..." Putao rolled her eyes and smiled when she heard the familiar words, very charming.
"I like it, how about stepmother playing chess with you every day?" Xin Yi smiled again.
Putao nodded ignorantly, and Xin Yi smiled and pulled him into his arms: "Fortunately, you will not betray your mother."
"Mother's queen..." He called out in a childish voice, Xin Yi liked it very much, raised his hand and said: "Order, move the prince's bedroom to this palace, and this palace will take care of the prince's daily life."
"Yes." The people below immediately responded.
After a while, someone came to report that the little princess was crying again.
Xin Yi glanced at the well-behaved Putao, the smile in his eyes disappeared, and he only raised the corners of his lips and asked, "What's wrong with the princess? Is it because someone didn't take good care of you?"
"No, it's the princess crying for the former Mo Hua girl and wet nurse." The palace maid shivered underneath.
"Trash." Xin Yi's face turned cold, Meier understood, and immediately asked someone to drag the maid down.
When the people were taken away, Meier worried and said: "Mother, the little princess never gets close to you because she is still young. When she gets older, she will get close to you when she knows how good you are."
"Understood." Xin Yi answered coldly, looked at Putao, who was a little timid, and smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, Putao, the queen mother is always here. Come here, bring the prince's favorite pastries..."
Meier watched from the side, but didn't say anything.
After coaxing Putao to sleep in the afternoon, Xin Yi got up and said, "It seems that there is still one person locked up in the dungeon."
"It's Concubine Jiang."
"At this point, it's time to see her. There are some things that I need her to help with." She glanced at the piece of jade that Zhao Huaiyan left before leaving, carefully put it away, and then stepped out. .
As soon as she left, the sky gradually darkened, the strong wind blew, and the branches of the old tree were blown. The palace people were afraid of being blown off, so they were prepared early in order not to smash the palace wall.
Because their attention was all on these trees, they didn't notice anyone passing by.
When Lang Yuehan saw Putao, he was sleeping peacefully, occasionally smacking his mouth, very cute.
He stretched out his hand stiffly to hug him, but before he could get close, the person Xin Yi stayed in the dark came out with a sword.
Seeing this, Lang Yuehan didn't want to fight, and left soon.
When Xin Yi in the dungeon got the news, the smile in his eyes had completely disappeared: "You don't even know who did it?"
"He is dressed in black and his face is masked. It is impossible to tell who it is, but he is tall and tall. He is obviously a man, and he is a man who does not often appear in the capital." Those people said.
"A man who doesn't often appear in the capital..." The corner of her mouth ruthlessly curled up. Who could it be?Since Zhao Huaiyan ascended the throne, most of his and Lin Jinhua's people have been transferred to serve by his side, and the most proud guard, Gao Zhi, has long since died, and several of Lin Jinhua's maids have been imprisoned in the palace.
She couldn't think of it for a moment, she just looked at those people and said: "Protect the prince, if the prince hurts half of his hair, I will never let you go lightly."
"Yes!" The people below hurriedly responded and left quickly.Her words seemed flirtatious, but there was a murderous intent hidden in them, and they knew it best.
As soon as they left, she immediately went to see Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang didn't panic since she was locked up, because she knew that Xin Yi had to come to see her.
She sat on the haystack in the cell with a calm expression, and only smiled when she heard footsteps: "It's finally here."
"Aren't you worried that I'll never come over?"
"Unless you really didn't leave a trace and killed Lin Jinhua. But as far as I know, Huaiyan definitely didn't believe you all, right?" Concubine Jiang sneered.
"You knew it a long time ago." Xin Yi's face was light, and Concubine Jiang just raised her head, looked at her face, and smiled: "Your appearance is exactly the same as Lin Jinhua, but between close lovers, there are always others who don't notice it. The tacit understanding and breath. You should have never loved a man deeply..."
When such words were asked suddenly, Xin Yi paused.
Really love a man?
Even if she wants to love, the one she loves the most is herself. Men are duplicity, so why should she love sincerely?Are they worthy?
"Then you wait for me today, is there a way?"
"What if I say no?" Concubine Jiang slowly tested her bottom line, but Xin Yi saw through it at a glance.
She looked at Concubine Jiang and smiled slightly: "If not, then the sentence you said just now will be the last sentence left in this world!" It was also opened quickly.
Concubine Jiang looked at the person who came in with a knife to kill her, and smiled lightly: "If you keep your promise, I will naturally help you."
"Make you Empress Dowager Jiang?"
"Of course, I became Empress Dowager Jiang, and if I said you were the real queen, then you were the real one. So what if people in the world doubted, would they believe that the dignified Empress Dowager conspired with outsiders to murder the real daughter-in-law and believed in the fake daughter-in-law? Concubine Jiang chuckled. She still remembers the loud sound of Lin Jinhua's slap on her face before.
Since she doesn't regard herself as her mother, there is no need for her to treat her as her daughter-in-law.
Xin Yi laughed when he heard the words: "Concubine Jiang really can be ruthless."
"Otherwise, how would you find me?" Concubine Jiang smiled back.
"Since that's the case, Concubine Jiang has to help me with one thing first." Xin Yi told the story that Lin Jinhua had escaped and that Zhao Huaiyan and grandson Qiye were trapped in a foreign country, but Concubine Jiang just smiled lightly: "This matter It’s easy to deal with.”
"for example……"
"Fanbang relies on Beiyan, if Princess Beiyan gets your favor and marries into the harem, what do you think?" she said.
Xin Yi looked at her: "What does this have to do with this matter?"
"Naturally it has something to do with it. Beiyan is willing to condescend to join the Fanbang alliance just because he is afraid of the increasingly powerful Daqi. If Beiyan can make friends with Daqi and become a friendly force in your hands, what do you think will happen? "Concubine Jiang looked at her with a smile. Now that things are up to now, it is these rights that are to be gambled. It only depends on whether the west wind overwhelms the east wind or the east wind overwhelms the west wind. The country and the country are not like children's personal feelings. If Huaiyan comes back, he What needs to be taken into account is the people in this country, she believes that her Huaiyan will never trade the lives of thousands of people for an affair with her children.
Seeing her smug look, Xin Yi suddenly laughed, and could understand how she could have come up with such a poisonous plan to drive the most favored prince's eldest grandson Xuanyin out of Xixia.
After she came out of the dungeon, she immediately asked Concubine Jiang to come out in the name of empress, and she stayed in the palace to recuperate temporarily, and she only waited for a chance to be named empress dowager.
On the way back to the palace, Mei Er was still a little worried: "Your Majesty, do you really believe in that concubine?"
"Do you think she didn't plan on me?" She smiled lightly, the wind blew the dark clouds, covering the sun, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and it rained cats and dogs.
The palace man immediately stepped forward to hold up the umbrella, but Xin Yi went into the abandoned cold palace on one side to avoid temporarily, but when she just came in, she saw the name of the palace, Yunxi Palace.
Didn't Yuan Shao say he was coming last time?Did he come to such an abandoned palace?
"Have you found out the relationship between Yuan Shao and this temple?" She asked with a smile.
"not yet……"
"Madam Xu and Xu Zhaozhao will be recruited into the palace tomorrow." Her smile faded.
Meier understood what she meant, and said again: "Your Majesty, I have found out that Xu Chengqing is indeed in contact with Mo Xue in private, what should I do next?"
"Isn't it easy to frame him? Wasn't he arrested and taken to Dali Temple before?" she said.
"Your Majesty wants to repeat the old trick..."
"This time, I will be sentenced to death." She watched the raindrops fall like a bead curtain, but she didn't want to do this. She hoped that all of Lin Jinhua's relatives would be alive, but they were all too smart to keep them.
Meier agreed, and quickly went to do it.
Standing by the corridor, Xin Yi watched the jade beads hit the steps and splashed onto his luxurious skirt, and suddenly smiled.
Lin Jinhua, you are really very happy. Even if you will die in my hands soon, there are still so many family members who will die for you...
Don't worry, I will never be soft!
At night, Lin Jinhua was already haunted by nightmares. This time she also dreamed of going back to her previous life, but this time she not only did not die, but also returned to the loving days when she just married Zhao Kan, and even Zhao Kan talked sweet words to her Sometimes, she also has a strong nausea.
She woke up suddenly, and it was also pouring rain outside the window.
The rain pattered heavily on the open windows.
She sat up, poured a cup of cold tea, and realized something was wrong. There was a murderous look in this room!
She quickly smashed the quilt in her hand and the teacup on the table to the ground, making a loud noise.
The person watching from the shadows was startled for a while, and then he realized that he raised his sword and killed him immediately, but the guards outside followed him.
When Ling Weiye came in, he saw Lin Jinhua standing beside the bed with a gloomy expression, and said, "Protect your mother!"
The guards came continuously, and the two assassins were quickly caught, but before they could speak, they bit the poison sac in their mouths and died.
"Are you okay?" Ling Weiye looked at Lin Jinhua and asked.Under the night, her face could not be seen clearly, but her white hair could be seen faintly. She stood by the bed like that, and the guards re-lighted the candle, and only then did he see clearly how thin and delicate her body was.
Lin Jinhua had already put on her outer robe before looking at Ling Weiye: "Tell Ling Mo, watch Fanbang's movements, and if you lose contact with the emperor, you must report back immediately!"
"What about you, aren't you waiting for the emperor to come here?" Ling Weiye asked anxiously.
"I'll take a step first." Lin Jinhua's feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. Now that Xin Yi has found out that she has escaped, what will she do to her children and her relatives?
She didn't dare to think that if it was a fact she couldn't reverse, she might have to live in guilt for the rest of her life.
Ling Weiye thought she would stay here for at least a while, so he said a little unwillingly, "But the journey is dangerous."
"No matter how dangerous it is, it's not as dangerous as the emperor in Fanbang at this time. Don't worry, I have a way to go back smoothly." Lin Jinyu glanced at the dead man on the ground, his eyes darkened.Xin Yi wants to kill her wholeheartedly, so let's regard her as already killed!
Early the next morning, the barracks fell into a gloomy atmosphere, because a coffin was parked in the center of the camp, and a golden embroidered phoenix was carved on the outside of the coffin, and the mourning hall was also hung with white silk.
Ling Mo also started to try to attack Fanbang, and all the guards from last night were boarded up and pretended to be the lowest-ranked conscripts.
The people staring in the dark looked at this scene, and soon took advantage of the gap when everyone was not paying attention, went to check the coffin, but when the coffin was opened, there was indeed a woman lying inside, with a hideous scar on her face. , The white hair on the head can't be fake at all.
"It's really her?" the person on one side asked in a low voice.
"Did the people who acted last night succeed, but why didn't they come back alive?" the man wondered.
"Could it be the same death?"
The bystanders were puzzled, and the leader went to check Lin Jinhua's pulse, and it was indeed not beating, and she was not breathing either.
Seeing this, he was going to cut her neck directly just to be on the safe side, but just as he pulled out his dagger, the patrolman came back, and there was Ling Weiye's hoarse and sad voice: "Didn't I tell you all not to leave? ? Go to fetch ice cubes every day for preservation, if you dare to make a mistake, I want you to be buried with me!"
The people below responded quickly, and he also frowned and swept around the room to confirm that the white cloth towel that had been carefully placed under the coffin lid had changed, so he knew that those people had already been here. For safety's sake, He simply stayed near the coffin until dark.
After it was completely dark, in the middle of the night, when everyone fell asleep, the boards under the coffin were loosened, and after a while, a person crawled out from underneath.
"Niang Niang..." Ling Weiye said cautiously after making sure that there was no one around.
"Don't reveal the news for the time being." Lin Jinhua spit out the fake death medicine contained under her tongue, and took the antidote before ordering in a low voice.
"Yes, I will go with you..."
"It's best for King Xian to stay here." Lin Jinhua looked at him and said.
Ling Weiye was shocked, looking at her eyes that seemed to see through everything, finally lowered his eyes.
"I understand."
Lin Jinhua looked at his tightly clenched hands, said no more, and soon sneaked into the night and left. Outside the barracks, a batch of horse-drawn carriages for cloud grain and grass had been prepared, and this batch of grain and grass was not destined for the capital, but in a dark place The people just stared at the coffin, not paying much attention to it, but they didn't know that Lin Jinyu had already hidden in the grain and left quickly.
At this time, Zhao Huaiyan of Fanbang had probably already guessed Lin Jinhua's plan.
Ah Zhong looked at Zhao Huaiyan who was standing by the window looking deeply at Daqi, bowed to the side and said, "Your Majesty, the capital of Fanbang has issued an order to kill you without mercy!"
"Where's the grandson Qi Ye?"
"My subordinates have verified that that person is not King Mu, and just in the past few days, Changsun Xuanyin suddenly disappeared." Ah Zhong probably guessed what Changsun Xuanyin was doing, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Zhao Huaiyan clenched his fist behind him tightly: "Where is the real Qi Ye?"
Ah Zhong mentioned this, his complexion became tighter, he looked at the emperor with a cold face, and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Mu may..."
He was a little speechless, Zhao Huaiyan clenched his fists even tighter, so there was no need to listen to him finish.
The heavy rain has stopped, and the strong wind has blown away the dark clouds. He raised his eyes to see the cool and clean moonlight, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.
The capital city of Fanbang is now in a mess. The old emperor was hit hard by the sudden self-immolation of the queen mother in the palace. He died that night. When fighting for the reserve, Han Jin was indecisive, allowing Han Xiao to take the lead and become the current emperor, but the envoy of Beiyan Dissatisfied with the coup, he has already returned to the country. Now that the alliance between the barbarians and Beiyan has existed in name only, that's why Han Jin wants to kill Zhao Huaiyan who came alone in the territory at all costs. It's a pity that he waited for his people to rush to the inn where Zhao Huaiyan was. At that time, the building was already empty.
Hongling chased her all the way, but she didn't catch up with Changsun Xuanyin or Zhao Huaiyan, she was so angry that she wished to kill two people on the side of the road to satisfy her hatred, but at this moment someone sent her a letter, saying It was engraved with the imprint of the red water chestnut flower, she recognized that it was on the hairpin given to her by Changsun Xuanyin!
"Smelly man, he's still playing romantic games." When she opened the letter, her eyes lit up: "Will the fragrant man pass by here?"
"Gu master, what's wrong?"
"Call the brothers to follow me! These two men still want to run away, I must catch them all and eat them!" She sneered, got on her horse, and hurried forward to chase, the letter paper also fell on the ground with the wind. on the ground.
The wind wasn't too strong today, but when the sun came out, it was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.
A plain hand picked up the paper that fell from the ground, and gave an indistinguishable smile: "I went here."
"Do you want to go there?"
"Of course I want to go. The elder Sun Xuanyin personally invited me to such an interesting game. How could I not participate?" , making everyone around me roll their eyes.
She turned her head to look, raised her hand to gently lift the long hair around his ear, and asked softly, "Is Anu good-looking?"
"pretty……"
Before the man finished speaking, he stopped breathing in the blink of an eye.
He fell to the ground, Anucai leaned over and pulled out the crossbow arrows pierced on his body, and smiled lightly: "A mortal who is confused by appearances." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the direction Hongling was leaving, and walked away.
Although the sun is strong, it cannot shine into the abyss.
The sound of the gurgling stream falling on people's ears is extremely pleasant.
The girl in a goose-yellow long dress slanted a cloth bag on her back, happily picked the fruits on the tree, and went to play with the squirrels that shuttled between the mountains and forests.
Seeing her like this, the maid beside her covered her lips and smiled slightly: "Miss, if Master and Madam find out that you ran out alone, you will be punished to face the wall when you go back."
"Dad and mother always go out to play with grandma on their backs... no." She chuckled: "It's not just my parents, grandparents also go out with me all day long, hum!" Comparable to this clear stream.
Seeing her angry look, the maid was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of a figure beside the stream.
She frowned, looked intently, and immediately let out a soft breath in fright.
"Momo, what's the matter?" The girl followed her gaze in confusion, and caught a glimpse of the people on the shore, but she was not as frightened as she was, and only frowned: "Why are there dead people here?" After finishing speaking, she raised her eyebrows. He walked over, but the maid named Momo didn't want to call out.
She walked all the way to the stream, and saw the man whose body was half submerged in the water, squatted down and gently brushed his hair away, and when she saw his face clearly, her eyes lit up.
She stopped by to feel his pulse, and the pity in her eyes dissipated. She smiled and said: "Momo, hurry up, let's pick up another errand runner and recite it."
"Miss, you are here to play, not to pick people up." Momo sighed softly, but the girl didn't care, she took a bite of the crisp fruit in her hand, her sour facial features squeezed together, and then she turned her head and left .
Momo looked at her back, and sighed softly, what should I do if the young lady doesn't know the dangers in the world.
The girl seemed to guess what she was thinking, and turned her head to whisper to her: "Momo, hurry up, we have to rush to find grandfather's relatives."
"Got it!" Momo replied, immediately picked up the person and followed her away.
Lin Jinhua still didn't know that she was about to have a guest, so she took advantage of the night to get rid of the people who were staring at her, then turned the waterway and walked in the opposite direction from Daqi. The old man went to the capital on the official road in an open and honest manner.
On the way to leave, she reopened the picture scroll given to her by the Empress Dowager Fanbang. The woman in the picture scroll was still smiling brightly, but she still didn't see anything unusual except for the word Lituo Island.
She looked at it repeatedly, and was about to put it away, when she suddenly held the scroll in her hand, she felt a cool touch from inside.
"This can't be..." With a twitch between her eyebrows, she immediately opened the scroll, and when she saw what was inside, a wave of fear came to her heart...
(End of this chapter)
Changsun Qiye found out that he had been cheated after searching around, but fortunately, the person he stayed with Zhao Huaiyan had sent news that he had found Amu.
"My lord, let's go back." The boy on the side couldn't bear to see his joy and disappointment when he knew the news that Lin Jinhua had been found: "Your lord, you go back to the city. Is the concubine still there?" .”
"It doesn't matter whether she is here or not." Changsun Qiye smiled lightly. It doesn't matter if she is here, but she just wants to use her all day long, even if she is not here, it seems that she is not so sad.
Seeing this, the servant sighed softly, and said, "Do you want to meet the emperor and empress?"
"No need." Changsun Qi Ye hurriedly said, but after he finished speaking, the regret in his heart was suffocated in his heart, which made him ache.
Why did he miss this one step, obviously he could find A Mu one step earlier than Zhao Huaiyan, in this way, he might be able to take her away from all these troubles...
Thinking of this, he only felt a stabbing pain in his chest, and then a fishy-sweet taste rose in his throat.
Seeing this, the people on one side immediately went to ask for a doctor, but the grandson Qiye just shook his head: "No need, it's fine."
"But my lord..."
"Go get the carriage ready." He said softly, and walked out.
It has just rained, and the air is still filled with the aroma of soil and flowers, which makes people feel at ease and at ease.
It's just that it rained heavily last night, and the flowers in the corridor that were not taken back in the future were scattered all over the ground.The eldest grandson Qi Ye thought he was not a sentimental person, but now he also felt that those poems that hurt the spring and autumn were really appropriate. Luohong is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers.
He smiled slightly, as if he had made up his mind.
Soon, the carriage was ready, and he also drove forward quickly in the carriage.
On the official road not far from the town, assassins soon surrounded him.
Changsun Qiye noticed the movement from a distance, and finally opened his mouth when the carriage had to stop.
"The person who wants to arrest me now must be Uncle Huang." He said softly.
When the people outside heard the words, they looked at each other, then surrounded his carriage and said to him: "Your Highness, my master wants to see you."
The corner of Changsun Qiye's mouth curled up: "Use me as a bait to force the emperor to hand over Amu, right?"
Those people didn't make a sound, and the eldest grandson Qiye also knew that his guess was almost inseparable. He, the emperor's uncle, hadn't seen him for many years, and he was still so cold and ruthless.
He opened the curtain of the car, looked at the people in front of him and said, "Either kill me today, or let me go."
Seeing this, those people could only say in embarrassment: "Your Highness, I'm sorry!" After saying that, a group of people rushed forward.
The eldest grandson Qiye also brought some people with him, but compared with the eldest grandson Xuanyin's people, they were just like a car.
Since the grandson Qiye knew the purpose of the grandson Xuanyin, he would not let him take him away, so he turned around and got out of the carriage, and quickly went to the side of the mountain.
The residual poison in his body was still unclear, but it was easy to go up the mountain, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Changsun Xuanyin was already waiting for him on the mountain.
When he reached the edge of the cliff, he saw the eldest grandson Xuanyin in black clothes standing on the edge of the cliff. The wind blew his robe up, his calm face seemed to be about to fade away.
The more this was the case, the more angry Changsun Qiye felt.
"Do you think it's fun for Uncle Huang to tease us like this?" He asked coldly.
"Do you think it's a tease?" Changsun Xuanyin smiled slightly, looked at the clouds rising from the cliff, and said: "Since I was kicked out of Xixia, I have no heart or hatred for you. It’s better to say that you are just a stone blocking my way.”
"Really?" Changsun Qiye smiled coldly, but Changsun Xuanyin looked at him with a sideways smile: "Come back with me, at least, I can cure the poison on your body, and you can still live well."
After Changsun Xuanyin finished speaking, his people in the forest had already come out to say that Changsun Qiye's retreat was blocked.
The eldest grandson Qi Ye didn't even look back, Bao Liang looked at him: "Is life easier to be a ruthless person?"
"It's hard." Of course Changsun Xuanyin knew it was hard, but he had to live with it.
"Then why are you still..."
"Things are hard, do you want to die?" Changsun Xuanyin still smiled lightly, showing no joy, anger or sadness.
Grandson Qiye looked at his face, feeling a little dazed for a moment, as if the person in front of him who had been smiling faintly was full of sadness.
But even so, he can't be a burden to Zhao Huaiyan and A Mu, he wants to use himself as a bait, his own life should already die.For him, life is not easy, that's all.
He laughed softly: "Uncle Huang has been kicked out of Xixia for so many years, in fact, he still really minds."
Changsun Xuanyin looked at him with a gentle smile, do you mind?Presumably he minded, but he had already hypnotized himself and told himself not to mind.
There are not many things in this world that he can care about, only a few things. The emperor's brother is dead, the Gong family is ruined, and Jiang Yin'er's fate is even more miserable. He doesn't want to waste his time and energy on hatred anymore.
Thinking of this, before he could open his mouth, the eldest grandson Qiye in front of him had already taken advantage of this moment to turn his head and jump off the abyss.
"Qi Ye!"
The grandson Qiye didn't answer, and let his body keep falling down. He could see the fear and sadness that he showed at that moment, but so what?He just didn't want to be a burden to Amu. Since he couldn't help him in anything, he would rather end his life early than become a stumbling block to Amu.
Ah Mu, she will be very safe by the side of the emperor...
He fell into the mist, as if he could still see the woman in red in the mist, smiling at him, the sun was shining brightly, but the person beside her had already held her hand, and that person was the emperor brother that he could never reach in this life.
On the cliff, Changsun Xuanyin only felt a piercing pain.
Ku Lian quickly supported him and worried: "Master, what's wrong with you!"
"How dare he..." Changsun Xuanyin couldn't figure out why Changsun Qiye would choose to jump down without hesitation, even if he could keep working hard to live.
"Master, you are not feeling well, go back and rest first." Ku Lian looked at his slightly pale face and said urgently.
Changsun Xuanyin took a deep breath, and the cool mountain mist rushed from his nose into his heart, making him seem to be numb from the cold.
"Go back." He finally opened his eyes, looking at the cliff again, he no longer had much emotion.
"Yes." Ku Lian carefully supported him, turned her head to look at the misty cliff, her brows furrowed.
The news was quickly spread to the ears of Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan, but it was not the eldest grandson Qiye who fell off the cliff, but he was caught by the eldest grandson Xuanyin and sent to the capital of Fanbang.
Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Huaiyan, who was sitting at the top and was thinking, and then at Ah Zhong, who was following beside him, and asked softly, "Are you sure, is it really King Mu?"
"It's His Royal Highness Mu Wang, but the strange thing is that His Royal Highness Mu Wang didn't show up on this journey." Ah Zhong said.
"Didn't show up?"
"Yes, he wears a veiled hat all the way, and he is rarely seen walking outside. Usually he is either in the carriage or in the room of the inn." Ah Zhong said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinhua immediately said, "Look for someone to confirm the identity of that person first."
Zhao Huaiyan raised his head to look at her, and said: "But the contact with him is indeed broken, and now all the people around him are also missing."
"The emperor is suspicious, something happened to him..." Lin Jinhua also became nervous.
Although Zhao Huaiyan didn't make a sound, she already had such doubts in her heart.He knew that the eldest grandson Qiye left someone to follow him, and he also left someone by his side. Now that the two parties have lost contact, the eldest grandson Xuanyin released the news at this time that he would send the eldest grandson Qiye to the hospital. The capital city of Fanbang is an obvious strategy to lure snakes out of their holes.
Lin Jinhua's complexion also turned serious, if that's the case, it's better to go to the capital, maybe that person is really Qi Ye, and I have to make people look for it again.
Changsun Xuanyin can't see any joy or anger, but his heart is very deep. At the beginning, he was able to leave the capital alone, which shows that he has a cold personality. Show mercy.
"emperor……"
"I will send you back to Daqi first." Zhao Huaiyan said directly.The purpose of the eldest grandson Xuanyin was nothing more than Hua'er, so he sent Hua'er away first, and then went to the eldest grandson Qiye.Changsun Qiye is not a stupid person, nor would he be caught by Changsun Xuanyin so easily.
"But……"
"Your Majesty, you'd better listen to the Emperor." Ah Zhong hurriedly persuaded, now the Emperor's actions are all around the Empress, as long as the Empress is safe, the Emperor can also use his hands and feet.
But when Lin Jinhua heard these words, she was stunned for a moment. It turned out that her staying here was just a drag...
"Back off!" Zhao Huaiyan gave Ah Zhong a cold look.
Ah Zhong knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly saluted and left.
After he left, Zhao Huaiyan looked at Lin Jinhua, but Lin Jinhua just laughed: "The concubine understands, it's not too late, the emperor makes arrangements earlier, the concubine leaves as soon as possible, go back to Daqi first, and then find a way to cooperate with the emperor. "
"Ha'er..."
"The emperor doesn't believe me?" Lin Jinhua asked with a smile.
Zhao Huaiyan knew that she was feeling uncomfortable, so she didn't say any more, he just stepped forward and hugged her in his arms: "Everything I do for you is done willingly and with joy."
"Well, I know." Lin Jinhua leaned in his arms sullenly, listening to his gentle voice, trying to hold back the tears that were about to flow.
Her being so passive this time was indeed a hindrance, and she shouldn't feel wronged.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her, looked down at her thin body, and also blamed himself, if he could worry more, maybe she would not have the grievance she is now.
Soon, they agreed to send Lin Jinhua away secretly, Zhao Huaiyan attracted the eyes of grandson Xuanyin and Fanbang, and then sent someone to rescue grandson Qiye.
That night, there was a big commotion at Ling Mo's side.
The defenders on the border of Fanbang hurriedly prepared their troops for defense, but Ling Mo did not attack. Instead, he divided his troops into three groups and went back to the territory of Daqi with full armor. Two days later, after confirming that they really had no intention of attacking Fanbang, they put down their guard.
At this time, Lin Jinhua had already arrived at the border disguised as a patrolling soldier.
Crossing the border is actually not difficult, as long as there is a document for customs clearance, and Fanbang has been impoverished for so many years, and from time to time he has to cross the border to get some autumn wind next door, so there is not even a town on the border, it is just a wall built of earth. High and easy to flip over.
"Your Majesty, the emperor asked his subordinates to send you here, and someone will meet you on the opposite side." Ah Zhong, who was pretending to be a soldier, followed behind her.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the border, and saw that the guards on the low earthen wall were not strict. Perhaps Fanbang relied on his strength, and did not pay attention to the unwarlike and relatively thin Daqi soldiers, so he had no special precautions. .
She nodded to Ah Zhong, and Ah Zhong looked at the people behind him, and soon pointed to something and shouted: "There are assassins!"
"Assassin, where is it?"
"I saw it just now, hurry up, maybe it's Daqi's spies!" Ah Zhong's Fanbang words have been spoken very smoothly, those people didn't hear anything strange, and quickly chased after him.
Lin Jinhua also took advantage of the crowd looking around, and quickly ran towards the low wall under the protection of the guards.
With so many experiences of surviving outside, she is no longer the young lady in the boudoir who couldn't lift her shoulders and resist. She rushed to the wall, and someone bent down to use it as a cushion for her, and she quickly stepped on it. Go up and climb over the low wall in an instant.
By the time the people inside the wall reacted, she had already gone to the other side of the wall.
"Someone escaped, chase after!"
Seeing this, the guard wanted to lead people to chase him without saying a word, but the city gate was opened, and Ling Mo, the commander-in-chief of Qi, who thought it was a rebellion, was riding on a horse and holding a sharp knife and looking at him: "Why, Fanbang is going to fight with you!" Shall I go to war?"
"you are not……"
"What?" Ling Mo asked him coldly.
Ling Mo is also a veteran for many years. He has fought against Fanbang countless times, so the current guard naturally recognizes him.
Seeing this, the guard only looked around behind him, but he didn't see the person who escaped just now, so he couldn't help saying: "We have important people who have escaped to Daqi..."
"Could it be that your Fanbang's army is all dead, and someone escaped to my Daqi easily after getting past your layers of defense?" Ling Mo satirized him mercilessly.
"You—!" The guard was so angry that his face was ashen, he just gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we are not careful, please ask Chief Ling to return him to Fanbang!"
Ling Mo sneered, turned his head to look at the elite soldiers behind him, and said, "Did you see someone turn over from the next door?"
"No!" All the soldiers answered in unison.
"Mr. Ling, why do you..."
"I think you let people come here on purpose, and you didn't let the general find out. Could it be that you Fanbang is going to send assassins to murder me!" Ling Mohan asked, and raised his hand and pulled out knife.
The guard saw that he was about to attack, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he still endured it. After all, if he really wanted to fight, the current Fanbang would definitely suffer!
Hearing this, he simply gritted his teeth: "Forget it, just treat it as my blindness..." After finishing speaking, he looked behind Ling Mo unwillingly, and he did not see anyone, so he turned and left. Has quietly mixed in the crowd back.
When Fanbang's city gate was closed again, Lin Jinhua, who was covered by the army, finally showed his face.
Ling Mo immediately dismounted and saluted with a very respectful attitude.
"Your Majesty, I want you to follow your Majesty back to the palace and immediately arrest the demon girl!" He had received a letter from Zhao Huaiyan himself, so he naturally believed that the current empress in the palace was a fake.
"Don't be in a hurry." If Xin Yi is pushed into a hurry, I don't know what she will do. The most important thing now is to cooperate with Huai Yan and take them down completely!
But it wasn't just her, even Zhao Huaiyan ignored Xin Yi's plan for more than ten years.
In the palace, when she received the news from the people below, she immediately laughed: "You said that grandson Xuanyin arrested grandson Qi Ye and went to the capital of Fanbang?"
"Yes, ma'am, is there anything strange about this?"
"Of course there is something wrong, Lin Jinhua has escaped." A round pearl she was still holding in her hand was immediately crushed into powder.
Mei Er didn't believe it on the side: "How could it be? Our people have been watching, but the owner of the valley has let Lin Jinhua go..."
Xin Yi chuckled: "He underestimated Lin Jinhua, and I underestimated Huaiyan. He should be in Fanbang now..." She remembered the day when he gently told herself that he would leave for a while, the deer bumping and worrying in her heart , I really felt ridiculous for a moment.The men in the world are all talkers, and they may be a little sincere to others, but when they meet her, they will only let them down.
She shook off the powder in her hand, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and smiled slightly: "The person I asked you to find, have you found it?"
"Your Majesty, you really want to go this far..."
"They forced me." After she finished speaking, the palace maid arrived with Putao.
Putao looked at the person above him, blinked, and saluted with a limp body.
Xin Yi looked at his bright black eyes like Lin Jinhua's, and smiled slightly: "Pao, come to the queen mother."
The maid immediately helped the child forward, Xin Yi leaned over slightly, and smiled at him: "Does Putao like playing chess?"
"Chess..." Putao rolled her eyes and smiled when she heard the familiar words, very charming.
"I like it, how about stepmother playing chess with you every day?" Xin Yi smiled again.
Putao nodded ignorantly, and Xin Yi smiled and pulled him into his arms: "Fortunately, you will not betray your mother."
"Mother's queen..." He called out in a childish voice, Xin Yi liked it very much, raised his hand and said: "Order, move the prince's bedroom to this palace, and this palace will take care of the prince's daily life."
"Yes." The people below immediately responded.
After a while, someone came to report that the little princess was crying again.
Xin Yi glanced at the well-behaved Putao, the smile in his eyes disappeared, and he only raised the corners of his lips and asked, "What's wrong with the princess? Is it because someone didn't take good care of you?"
"No, it's the princess crying for the former Mo Hua girl and wet nurse." The palace maid shivered underneath.
"Trash." Xin Yi's face turned cold, Meier understood, and immediately asked someone to drag the maid down.
When the people were taken away, Meier worried and said: "Mother, the little princess never gets close to you because she is still young. When she gets older, she will get close to you when she knows how good you are."
"Understood." Xin Yi answered coldly, looked at Putao, who was a little timid, and smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, Putao, the queen mother is always here. Come here, bring the prince's favorite pastries..."
Meier watched from the side, but didn't say anything.
After coaxing Putao to sleep in the afternoon, Xin Yi got up and said, "It seems that there is still one person locked up in the dungeon."
"It's Concubine Jiang."
"At this point, it's time to see her. There are some things that I need her to help with." She glanced at the piece of jade that Zhao Huaiyan left before leaving, carefully put it away, and then stepped out. .
As soon as she left, the sky gradually darkened, the strong wind blew, and the branches of the old tree were blown. The palace people were afraid of being blown off, so they were prepared early in order not to smash the palace wall.
Because their attention was all on these trees, they didn't notice anyone passing by.
When Lang Yuehan saw Putao, he was sleeping peacefully, occasionally smacking his mouth, very cute.
He stretched out his hand stiffly to hug him, but before he could get close, the person Xin Yi stayed in the dark came out with a sword.
Seeing this, Lang Yuehan didn't want to fight, and left soon.
When Xin Yi in the dungeon got the news, the smile in his eyes had completely disappeared: "You don't even know who did it?"
"He is dressed in black and his face is masked. It is impossible to tell who it is, but he is tall and tall. He is obviously a man, and he is a man who does not often appear in the capital." Those people said.
"A man who doesn't often appear in the capital..." The corner of her mouth ruthlessly curled up. Who could it be?Since Zhao Huaiyan ascended the throne, most of his and Lin Jinhua's people have been transferred to serve by his side, and the most proud guard, Gao Zhi, has long since died, and several of Lin Jinhua's maids have been imprisoned in the palace.
She couldn't think of it for a moment, she just looked at those people and said: "Protect the prince, if the prince hurts half of his hair, I will never let you go lightly."
"Yes!" The people below hurriedly responded and left quickly.Her words seemed flirtatious, but there was a murderous intent hidden in them, and they knew it best.
As soon as they left, she immediately went to see Concubine Jiang.
Concubine Jiang didn't panic since she was locked up, because she knew that Xin Yi had to come to see her.
She sat on the haystack in the cell with a calm expression, and only smiled when she heard footsteps: "It's finally here."
"Aren't you worried that I'll never come over?"
"Unless you really didn't leave a trace and killed Lin Jinhua. But as far as I know, Huaiyan definitely didn't believe you all, right?" Concubine Jiang sneered.
"You knew it a long time ago." Xin Yi's face was light, and Concubine Jiang just raised her head, looked at her face, and smiled: "Your appearance is exactly the same as Lin Jinhua, but between close lovers, there are always others who don't notice it. The tacit understanding and breath. You should have never loved a man deeply..."
When such words were asked suddenly, Xin Yi paused.
Really love a man?
Even if she wants to love, the one she loves the most is herself. Men are duplicity, so why should she love sincerely?Are they worthy?
"Then you wait for me today, is there a way?"
"What if I say no?" Concubine Jiang slowly tested her bottom line, but Xin Yi saw through it at a glance.
She looked at Concubine Jiang and smiled slightly: "If not, then the sentence you said just now will be the last sentence left in this world!" It was also opened quickly.
Concubine Jiang looked at the person who came in with a knife to kill her, and smiled lightly: "If you keep your promise, I will naturally help you."
"Make you Empress Dowager Jiang?"
"Of course, I became Empress Dowager Jiang, and if I said you were the real queen, then you were the real one. So what if people in the world doubted, would they believe that the dignified Empress Dowager conspired with outsiders to murder the real daughter-in-law and believed in the fake daughter-in-law? Concubine Jiang chuckled. She still remembers the loud sound of Lin Jinhua's slap on her face before.
Since she doesn't regard herself as her mother, there is no need for her to treat her as her daughter-in-law.
Xin Yi laughed when he heard the words: "Concubine Jiang really can be ruthless."
"Otherwise, how would you find me?" Concubine Jiang smiled back.
"Since that's the case, Concubine Jiang has to help me with one thing first." Xin Yi told the story that Lin Jinhua had escaped and that Zhao Huaiyan and grandson Qiye were trapped in a foreign country, but Concubine Jiang just smiled lightly: "This matter It’s easy to deal with.”
"for example……"
"Fanbang relies on Beiyan, if Princess Beiyan gets your favor and marries into the harem, what do you think?" she said.
Xin Yi looked at her: "What does this have to do with this matter?"
"Naturally it has something to do with it. Beiyan is willing to condescend to join the Fanbang alliance just because he is afraid of the increasingly powerful Daqi. If Beiyan can make friends with Daqi and become a friendly force in your hands, what do you think will happen? "Concubine Jiang looked at her with a smile. Now that things are up to now, it is these rights that are to be gambled. It only depends on whether the west wind overwhelms the east wind or the east wind overwhelms the west wind. The country and the country are not like children's personal feelings. If Huaiyan comes back, he What needs to be taken into account is the people in this country, she believes that her Huaiyan will never trade the lives of thousands of people for an affair with her children.
Seeing her smug look, Xin Yi suddenly laughed, and could understand how she could have come up with such a poisonous plan to drive the most favored prince's eldest grandson Xuanyin out of Xixia.
After she came out of the dungeon, she immediately asked Concubine Jiang to come out in the name of empress, and she stayed in the palace to recuperate temporarily, and she only waited for a chance to be named empress dowager.
On the way back to the palace, Mei Er was still a little worried: "Your Majesty, do you really believe in that concubine?"
"Do you think she didn't plan on me?" She smiled lightly, the wind blew the dark clouds, covering the sun, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and it rained cats and dogs.
The palace man immediately stepped forward to hold up the umbrella, but Xin Yi went into the abandoned cold palace on one side to avoid temporarily, but when she just came in, she saw the name of the palace, Yunxi Palace.
Didn't Yuan Shao say he was coming last time?Did he come to such an abandoned palace?
"Have you found out the relationship between Yuan Shao and this temple?" She asked with a smile.
"not yet……"
"Madam Xu and Xu Zhaozhao will be recruited into the palace tomorrow." Her smile faded.
Meier understood what she meant, and said again: "Your Majesty, I have found out that Xu Chengqing is indeed in contact with Mo Xue in private, what should I do next?"
"Isn't it easy to frame him? Wasn't he arrested and taken to Dali Temple before?" she said.
"Your Majesty wants to repeat the old trick..."
"This time, I will be sentenced to death." She watched the raindrops fall like a bead curtain, but she didn't want to do this. She hoped that all of Lin Jinhua's relatives would be alive, but they were all too smart to keep them.
Meier agreed, and quickly went to do it.
Standing by the corridor, Xin Yi watched the jade beads hit the steps and splashed onto his luxurious skirt, and suddenly smiled.
Lin Jinhua, you are really very happy. Even if you will die in my hands soon, there are still so many family members who will die for you...
Don't worry, I will never be soft!
At night, Lin Jinhua was already haunted by nightmares. This time she also dreamed of going back to her previous life, but this time she not only did not die, but also returned to the loving days when she just married Zhao Kan, and even Zhao Kan talked sweet words to her Sometimes, she also has a strong nausea.
She woke up suddenly, and it was also pouring rain outside the window.
The rain pattered heavily on the open windows.
She sat up, poured a cup of cold tea, and realized something was wrong. There was a murderous look in this room!
She quickly smashed the quilt in her hand and the teacup on the table to the ground, making a loud noise.
The person watching from the shadows was startled for a while, and then he realized that he raised his sword and killed him immediately, but the guards outside followed him.
When Ling Weiye came in, he saw Lin Jinhua standing beside the bed with a gloomy expression, and said, "Protect your mother!"
The guards came continuously, and the two assassins were quickly caught, but before they could speak, they bit the poison sac in their mouths and died.
"Are you okay?" Ling Weiye looked at Lin Jinhua and asked.Under the night, her face could not be seen clearly, but her white hair could be seen faintly. She stood by the bed like that, and the guards re-lighted the candle, and only then did he see clearly how thin and delicate her body was.
Lin Jinhua had already put on her outer robe before looking at Ling Weiye: "Tell Ling Mo, watch Fanbang's movements, and if you lose contact with the emperor, you must report back immediately!"
"What about you, aren't you waiting for the emperor to come here?" Ling Weiye asked anxiously.
"I'll take a step first." Lin Jinhua's feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. Now that Xin Yi has found out that she has escaped, what will she do to her children and her relatives?
She didn't dare to think that if it was a fact she couldn't reverse, she might have to live in guilt for the rest of her life.
Ling Weiye thought she would stay here for at least a while, so he said a little unwillingly, "But the journey is dangerous."
"No matter how dangerous it is, it's not as dangerous as the emperor in Fanbang at this time. Don't worry, I have a way to go back smoothly." Lin Jinyu glanced at the dead man on the ground, his eyes darkened.Xin Yi wants to kill her wholeheartedly, so let's regard her as already killed!
Early the next morning, the barracks fell into a gloomy atmosphere, because a coffin was parked in the center of the camp, and a golden embroidered phoenix was carved on the outside of the coffin, and the mourning hall was also hung with white silk.
Ling Mo also started to try to attack Fanbang, and all the guards from last night were boarded up and pretended to be the lowest-ranked conscripts.
The people staring in the dark looked at this scene, and soon took advantage of the gap when everyone was not paying attention, went to check the coffin, but when the coffin was opened, there was indeed a woman lying inside, with a hideous scar on her face. , The white hair on the head can't be fake at all.
"It's really her?" the person on one side asked in a low voice.
"Did the people who acted last night succeed, but why didn't they come back alive?" the man wondered.
"Could it be the same death?"
The bystanders were puzzled, and the leader went to check Lin Jinhua's pulse, and it was indeed not beating, and she was not breathing either.
Seeing this, he was going to cut her neck directly just to be on the safe side, but just as he pulled out his dagger, the patrolman came back, and there was Ling Weiye's hoarse and sad voice: "Didn't I tell you all not to leave? ? Go to fetch ice cubes every day for preservation, if you dare to make a mistake, I want you to be buried with me!"
The people below responded quickly, and he also frowned and swept around the room to confirm that the white cloth towel that had been carefully placed under the coffin lid had changed, so he knew that those people had already been here. For safety's sake, He simply stayed near the coffin until dark.
After it was completely dark, in the middle of the night, when everyone fell asleep, the boards under the coffin were loosened, and after a while, a person crawled out from underneath.
"Niang Niang..." Ling Weiye said cautiously after making sure that there was no one around.
"Don't reveal the news for the time being." Lin Jinhua spit out the fake death medicine contained under her tongue, and took the antidote before ordering in a low voice.
"Yes, I will go with you..."
"It's best for King Xian to stay here." Lin Jinhua looked at him and said.
Ling Weiye was shocked, looking at her eyes that seemed to see through everything, finally lowered his eyes.
"I understand."
Lin Jinhua looked at his tightly clenched hands, said no more, and soon sneaked into the night and left. Outside the barracks, a batch of horse-drawn carriages for cloud grain and grass had been prepared, and this batch of grain and grass was not destined for the capital, but in a dark place The people just stared at the coffin, not paying much attention to it, but they didn't know that Lin Jinyu had already hidden in the grain and left quickly.
At this time, Zhao Huaiyan of Fanbang had probably already guessed Lin Jinhua's plan.
Ah Zhong looked at Zhao Huaiyan who was standing by the window looking deeply at Daqi, bowed to the side and said, "Your Majesty, the capital of Fanbang has issued an order to kill you without mercy!"
"Where's the grandson Qi Ye?"
"My subordinates have verified that that person is not King Mu, and just in the past few days, Changsun Xuanyin suddenly disappeared." Ah Zhong probably guessed what Changsun Xuanyin was doing, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Zhao Huaiyan clenched his fist behind him tightly: "Where is the real Qi Ye?"
Ah Zhong mentioned this, his complexion became tighter, he looked at the emperor with a cold face, and said softly: "His Royal Highness King Mu may..."
He was a little speechless, Zhao Huaiyan clenched his fists even tighter, so there was no need to listen to him finish.
The heavy rain has stopped, and the strong wind has blown away the dark clouds. He raised his eyes to see the cool and clean moonlight, but he didn't make a sound for a long time.
The capital city of Fanbang is now in a mess. The old emperor was hit hard by the sudden self-immolation of the queen mother in the palace. He died that night. When fighting for the reserve, Han Jin was indecisive, allowing Han Xiao to take the lead and become the current emperor, but the envoy of Beiyan Dissatisfied with the coup, he has already returned to the country. Now that the alliance between the barbarians and Beiyan has existed in name only, that's why Han Jin wants to kill Zhao Huaiyan who came alone in the territory at all costs. It's a pity that he waited for his people to rush to the inn where Zhao Huaiyan was. At that time, the building was already empty.
Hongling chased her all the way, but she didn't catch up with Changsun Xuanyin or Zhao Huaiyan, she was so angry that she wished to kill two people on the side of the road to satisfy her hatred, but at this moment someone sent her a letter, saying It was engraved with the imprint of the red water chestnut flower, she recognized that it was on the hairpin given to her by Changsun Xuanyin!
"Smelly man, he's still playing romantic games." When she opened the letter, her eyes lit up: "Will the fragrant man pass by here?"
"Gu master, what's wrong?"
"Call the brothers to follow me! These two men still want to run away, I must catch them all and eat them!" She sneered, got on her horse, and hurried forward to chase, the letter paper also fell on the ground with the wind. on the ground.
The wind wasn't too strong today, but when the sun came out, it was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.
A plain hand picked up the paper that fell from the ground, and gave an indistinguishable smile: "I went here."
"Do you want to go there?"
"Of course I want to go. The elder Sun Xuanyin personally invited me to such an interesting game. How could I not participate?" , making everyone around me roll their eyes.
She turned her head to look, raised her hand to gently lift the long hair around his ear, and asked softly, "Is Anu good-looking?"
"pretty……"
Before the man finished speaking, he stopped breathing in the blink of an eye.
He fell to the ground, Anucai leaned over and pulled out the crossbow arrows pierced on his body, and smiled lightly: "A mortal who is confused by appearances." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the direction Hongling was leaving, and walked away.
Although the sun is strong, it cannot shine into the abyss.
The sound of the gurgling stream falling on people's ears is extremely pleasant.
The girl in a goose-yellow long dress slanted a cloth bag on her back, happily picked the fruits on the tree, and went to play with the squirrels that shuttled between the mountains and forests.
Seeing her like this, the maid beside her covered her lips and smiled slightly: "Miss, if Master and Madam find out that you ran out alone, you will be punished to face the wall when you go back."
"Dad and mother always go out to play with grandma on their backs... no." She chuckled: "It's not just my parents, grandparents also go out with me all day long, hum!" Comparable to this clear stream.
Seeing her angry look, the maid was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of a figure beside the stream.
She frowned, looked intently, and immediately let out a soft breath in fright.
"Momo, what's the matter?" The girl followed her gaze in confusion, and caught a glimpse of the people on the shore, but she was not as frightened as she was, and only frowned: "Why are there dead people here?" After finishing speaking, she raised her eyebrows. He walked over, but the maid named Momo didn't want to call out.
She walked all the way to the stream, and saw the man whose body was half submerged in the water, squatted down and gently brushed his hair away, and when she saw his face clearly, her eyes lit up.
She stopped by to feel his pulse, and the pity in her eyes dissipated. She smiled and said: "Momo, hurry up, let's pick up another errand runner and recite it."
"Miss, you are here to play, not to pick people up." Momo sighed softly, but the girl didn't care, she took a bite of the crisp fruit in her hand, her sour facial features squeezed together, and then she turned her head and left .
Momo looked at her back, and sighed softly, what should I do if the young lady doesn't know the dangers in the world.
The girl seemed to guess what she was thinking, and turned her head to whisper to her: "Momo, hurry up, we have to rush to find grandfather's relatives."
"Got it!" Momo replied, immediately picked up the person and followed her away.
Lin Jinhua still didn't know that she was about to have a guest, so she took advantage of the night to get rid of the people who were staring at her, then turned the waterway and walked in the opposite direction from Daqi. The old man went to the capital on the official road in an open and honest manner.
On the way to leave, she reopened the picture scroll given to her by the Empress Dowager Fanbang. The woman in the picture scroll was still smiling brightly, but she still didn't see anything unusual except for the word Lituo Island.
She looked at it repeatedly, and was about to put it away, when she suddenly held the scroll in her hand, she felt a cool touch from inside.
"This can't be..." With a twitch between her eyebrows, she immediately opened the scroll, and when she saw what was inside, a wave of fear came to her heart...
