Chapter 66
Lin Jinhua woke up suddenly, sitting on the bed panting heavily.
Cai'er was guarding outside, and when she heard the noise, she immediately ran in: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Jinhua clutched her stuffy chest and shook her head. She had just dreamed of Bai Lan in her dream. In the previous life, Bai Lan died to help her, so what about this life?
She turned her head to see that the outside of the window was already faintly white, and she also lifted the quilt and got up.
Mo Xue came in from the outside, her body was still covered with the morning mist. Seeing that she had already got up, she frowned slightly and looked at her: "Miss..."
"Did you find Bai Lan?" Lin Jinhua suddenly had a bad feeling: "Are you still alive?"
Her last sentence was filled with anticipation and caution.
Seeing that she had guessed it, Mo Xue no longer concealed it: "When Mo Feng and Lao Liu found someone, they were already out of breath."
"How could it be..." Cai'er's eyes turned red in an instant. She and Bai Lan grew up next to Miss, and they love sisters. A few days ago, she took care of herself carefully. How could she be gone?She hurriedly turned her head to look at Lin Jinhua, and seeing her pale face, she choked up and called her, "Miss, why did Bai Lan die?"
"Yeah, how could he die..." Lin Jinhua's tone trembled slightly. She saved so many people, but in the end she still couldn't save the people around her.
Mo Xue couldn't bear to say that when she saw Bai Lan's body, she was stunned. No piece of flesh was intact, and she was so thin that she seemed to be out of shape.
"The fatal wound is the heart pierced by a sword." Mo Xue said softly.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly astringent, and tears just fell down.Bai Lan, she owed her two lifetimes. She thought she could protect her well in this life, but she didn't expect to let her die so early.
Mo Xue stepped forward to support her, and seeing her so sad, she felt that she really valued the people around her, but this was really a big weakness.
She said softly: "Miss, I have to go back to Changle Nunnery today, the sky will be bright in a while, we can't let the people in the princess mansion find out the abnormality."
Lin Jinhua knew it well, turned her head and sat down on the side of the warm couch, covering up the sadness in her heart, and then asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Where did you find the corpse?"
"Outside the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion."
"It's not him." Lin Jinhua let out a deep breath, and then opened her eyes, which were already full of sharpness.She knew Zhao Kan, if he really caught Bai Lan, he would not kill him so easily, he would definitely use it as a threat to himself, and even if he accidentally killed him, he would not throw him in such an obvious place outside his house, obviously someone wanted her. Plant him, but who?The one who opposed King Jing was Zhao Huaiyan except herself, and she knew that Zhao Huaiyan was not such a person.
"Lao Liu also said the same thing. He has had people staring at King Jing's Mansion for several days, and no one in it has been thrown out. Instead, there was a suspicious carriage in the middle of the night last night." Mo Xue said.
"Then it means that the person who killed Bailan was from the capital. Let Lao Liu keep watching. They clearly saw that Bailan was taken away by Zheng Ruyi that day. Why did he suddenly go elsewhere? What happened in it?" She said in a cold voice, but the clenched fist on one side couldn't stop trembling slightly.She hated herself for bringing so many disasters to the people around her, but she couldn't avoid it, so she could only wield the Soul Ecstasy Knife and get rid of them one by one!
Mo Xue nodded and was about to go out when she heard her say: "Write a letter and tell brother about this matter, and tell him what Bai Lan wanted to say before she was alive. Then find a quiet place for Bai Lan to be buried."
Mo Xue took a deep look at her, agreed, and stepped forward.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua listened to Cai'er's subdued crying, closed her eyes heavily, swallowed the soreness rising up in her throat, and said, "Go get some water and wash up. If you ask me later, just say yes." I remembered my mother."
"Yes."
"Also..." Lin Jinhua opened her eyes to look at her, and smiled slightly: "Your wedding has to be done earlier, so let's make it easier first, and when things settle down in a few days, I'll make up a big wedding for you."
"Miss, this servant doesn't want to..."
"Don't make trouble." Lin Jinhua knew that she didn't want to get married when Bai Lan died, but she needed a reason to send her out of here, she could no longer accept their deaths.
Cai'er's eyes were red and she didn't speak, she just shed tears silently.
Lin Jinyu sighed slightly in her heart and didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just said softly, "Go."
"Yes." Cai'er bowed, looked at her worriedly, and said softly: "Miss, this servant promised that Madam will take good care of you, and this servant will never hold you back."
Lin Jinyu's heart warmed slightly. Looking at her hand in front of her with half-nailed nails, and the deep scars that could not be removed on her small face that was originally smooth and clean, she smiled slightly: "I know."
Cai'er smiled and wiped away her tears before going down.
The sky was getting brighter, and the outside was gradually becoming lively. Early in the morning, a woman served a sumptuous breakfast. Lin Jinyu just pretended that nothing had happened, and went to the son-in-law's yard after eating the breakfast.
Mrs. Ling had already been waiting at the gate of the courtyard in person, and when she saw her coming, she stepped forward to meet her: "How did Miss Lin rest yesterday?"
"Very well, thank you Madam for taking care of me." Lin Jinhua bowed obediently.
Mrs. Ling nodded to the woman next to her in satisfaction, before she smiled and said, "I'll trouble you to run again in the morning. After the son-in-law drank the medicine yesterday, his cough has eased a lot."
"It's okay." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, and then went in with her.
Duanhui had been staring at the maids serving the soup and medicine early in the morning, when she saw her coming, she just glanced at her and then turned her eyes away.
The son-in-law also saw her coming, and smiled weakly: "Ms. Lin's medical skills are really good."
"The concubine's reputation is too high." Lin Jinhua greeted the two of them, and the maid moved the embroidered stool and placed it beside the bed, and put a light veil on the concubine's wrist before guiding her to sit down.
Lin Jinhua stepped forward to feel the pulse, and recovered a little bit, but the psychological effect may be more important.
She looked at the son-in-law with a smile and said: "When the weather clears up in a few days, the son-in-law can come out and walk around, as long as you don't catch a cold from the wind." It's also good to take more walks to see the colorful flowers and plants.
The son-in-law nodded slightly, looked at her slightly curved eyes, and fell into deep thought. It was Duanhui who coughed lightly before he came back to his senses, and smiled at Lin Jinhua, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Jinhua also noticed his gaze, could this be the reason why Duan Hui didn't like her in the first place?
She naturally took a few steps back and stood at the head of the son-in-law, just as he couldn't see her, so she gave the old lady some more instructions, and then left.
The old lady was eager to love her son, and was busy exhorting her, so she only asked her confidant, Mama Zhu, to send Lin Jinhua out of the house.
Lin Jinhua knew that there were only a few people in the princess mansion, and she didn't want to sit in a sedan chair, so she planned to walk to the door.
Zhu's mother didn't say much, she didn't put on airs when she saw her, and even chatted with her when she left.
Pass through the long corridor in front, and then go out through two vertical flower doors. Just as Lin Jinhua stepped onto the long corridor, a small figure suddenly ran over and stopped her.
Zhu's mother thought that the little overlord of the family was going to attack Lin Jinhua, so she hurriedly said nervously, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Ling Weiye looked at Lin Jinhua, timidly but bravely mustered up his courage, and asked her, "Will my father die?"
"No." Seeing that this is the princess mansion, Lin Jinhua said patiently even though she didn't like the brat, "The son-in-law's body is getting better day by day, and if you don't make him angry by doing bad things, he can still do it." Live to be a hundred."
Originally thought that such words would not be able to coax Ling Weiye, but he never thought that his eyes were red: "Then if I am obedient, Daddy will be fine?"
"Eat well, study obediently, don't lose your temper, don't hit people, and the most important thing is not to push people into the water." Lin Jinhua only coaxed the children.
When Ling Weiye heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he hurried to the direction he came from just now.
Zhu's mother stretched her neck to look, and there was a servant girl calling for help. It is likely that he pushed the servant girl he didn't like into the water again.
She looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile and said, "Although the king of the little county is a bit domineering on weekdays, his heart is not bad, and he is extremely filial."
Lin Jinhua smiled politely, but did not answer.
Zhu's mother knew it well, so she just smiled and sent her out.
When they left, they specially sent two guards from the Princess Mansion to escort them: "Miss Lin, I just heard that there are assassins in Changle Nunnery. The guards will wait at the foot of the mountain and take you back when you go down the mountain. This is what the old lady meant. "
Lin Jinhua knew that Mrs. Ling saw something unusual in the nunnery, so she didn't refuse.
The carriage started to move forward slowly, she lowered the curtain of the carriage and stopped talking, thinking of the dead Bai Lan made her heart feel like a knife.
In a corner not far from the Princess Mansion, a woman wrapped in a black veil stared at her to leave before turning her head and heading towards the Zheng Mansion.
It's cold inside Zheng's mansion now, Mrs. Zheng was so angry that her face turned blue, she looked at the maidservants who were all over the yard and scolded: "You can't even look down on a single person, what use are you for?"
The maids were trembling, and none of them dared to speak out.
Mrs. Zheng remembered that when she went to discuss the marriage with Mrs. Liu of Qianhu yesterday, she was willing to help her to ask Princess Duanhui and Mrs. Dingnanhou for help. She never thought that Zheng Ruyi would disappear after she came back. .
She looked at the people below, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say, so she could only say: "Okay, go out and find someone for me, don't let the news leak. If you can't find anyone, don't come back!" This time, she had to marry Zheng Ruyi, otherwise, sooner or later, her Zheng family's hard-earned reputation would be ruined.
Zheng Ruyi returned to the back corner door, opened the black veil and was about to enter the mansion, but before entering the door, she heard the mother-in-law muttering from inside: "I don't know where the eldest lady is. She is really shameless. Fortunately, the old man Someone promised her to Mr. Liu's family, otherwise I don't know how big a joke will be made."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and find someone." The maid muttered again, and her voice faded away.
After hearing this, Zheng Ruyi immediately put down the veil and turned to leave.
She planned to go to Zhao Kan yesterday, but she saw no one at all, but she did see the maid Bai Lan who was next to Lin Jinhua being thrown out of the carriage, and she also saw the people in the carriage.
Her eyes dimmed slightly, and when the people from Zheng's mansion opened the back door, she had already turned around and walked quickly towards King Jing's mansion.Now there is no way out, either marry Zhao Kan or die!
Zhao Kan only came back from the palace near the early morning, and he hadn't slept for two days, and his heart seemed to be filled with gunpowder.
Originally, the calculation was good. It could not only drag Lin Jinyu into the water, but also dampen Zhao Huaiyan's spirit. Unexpectedly, in the end, he lost several generals, and even lost a firearms store worth a million taels of silver!
He was annoyed when he suddenly heard the boy outside saying that Zheng Ruyi asked for a visit.
Hearing this, he only frowned slightly impatiently, and looked a little more impatiently at him: "Send her away."
"But she said she has something very important to tell the prince."
"A very important matter?" Zhao Kan became more and more impatient. Zheng Ruyi was of little use to him now, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Before the servant could reply to his words, a man in gray clothes holding a bone flute who was waiting in the study suddenly came out, went to his side and whispered: "My lord, this Miss Zheng Ruyi seems to have been born on a very cloudy day?"
Zhao Kan glanced at him, then paused: "You want to use her to practice Gu?"
The man in gray lowered his head: "If the prince doesn't allow it, the grass people will never touch her."
"It's not impossible." Zhao Kan turned his head and gave the servant a cold look: "Bring someone in."
"Yes."
The boy hurried down.
Not long after, Zheng Ruyi had already walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the man in gray clothes standing behind Zhao Kan, looking at him with burning eyes. He had a centipede-like scar from his forehead to his face. He was tall and extremely thin, and he looked a little eerie.
She was slightly timid, looked at Zhao Kan pitifully, and said softly, "My lord, you can save me as you wish."
"Didn't you say you have something important to tell me?" Zhao Kan said impatiently.
Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth slightly, and then said: "Yes, but my lord, please save Ruyi first, otherwise Ruyi will have to die..."
"Are you threatening this king?"
"Ruyi dare not." Zheng Ruyi hurriedly said.
Zhao Kan gave her a dark look, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's the matter."
Only then did Zheng Ruyi tell about Mrs. Zheng's intention to marry her to that stupid son of the Liu family, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Ruyi is already the prince's man, I dare not be unfaithful to the prince, I would rather die I will never marry, but now my grandmother has made up her mind..."
"So, you want me to accept you." Zhao Kan looked at her with a half-smile.
Zheng Ruyi's face was slightly blushing, she lowered her eyes and said nothing, which meant she acquiesced.Since he claimed his innocence, he naturally wanted to marry himself.
Zhao Kan's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the man in gray in a blink of an eye, and said, "Then can you tell me what you want to tell me now?"
"Yes." Zheng Ruyi was not sure whether he would accept her, but she also knew that she had no capital to annoy him, so she just explained what happened last night in detail: "Ruyi sees it very clearly, then leave Bai Lan alone." The person with the corpse was the personal entourage of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, and left after leaving him in King Jing's Mansion, and then another group of people came, who seemed to be Lin Jinhua's people, and took Bai Lan's body away again."
"Is it really Zhao Qing's person?" Zhao Kan was annoyed that Zhao Qing planned to betray the prefect of Yuzhou, but he never thought that he would dare to kill the people around Lin Jinhua to frame him.
"Well. Although the night was dark, they didn't know that I was waiting to see the prince around the corner, so I didn't cover it up." Zheng Ruyi said firmly.
Hearing this, Zhao Kan laughed out loud: "This is really a surprise, Zhao Qing's move, I don't know if he obeyed Zhao Huaiyan's order?"
Zheng Ruyi understood what he meant in an instant, and followed suit: "I heard that Lin Jinzheng attaches great importance to this maid, as if she were her own sister. Now, if she knows that it was the work of the Ninth Prince, she will definitely think that King Ning is also involved. The Ninth Prince has the best relationship, this is known to all the world."
"That's right." After Zhao Kan finished speaking, he turned his eyes and looked at Zheng Ruyi: "You go back first, and this king will send someone to tell your grandmother to accept you into the mansion, but don't even think about being the concubine."
Zheng Ruyi's palms tightened slightly, and she forced a smile, "As long as I can serve the prince, Ruyi doesn't care."
"That's good." Zhao Kan raised his hand and sent her out. As soon as she left, he immediately called someone to pass the news to Changle Temple.
this compartment.
Lin Jinhua had just arrived at Changle Nunnery, and she saw Lao Liu who had been waiting in the house early, and the people in Changle Nunnery didn't seem to notice him.
When he saw Lin Jinhua, seeing her slightly red eyes, he hurriedly lowered his eyes and said, "Miss."
"Why are you here?" Lin Jinhua asked Cai'er to guard the yard, then pushed open the window on one side and sat down by the window.
"We found Lin Zisu's trace," he said.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly cold: "Where is it?"
"In the capital, they are protected." He said.
"Wang Huiyuan?"
"Yes." The sixth child nodded.
Lin Jinhua took a deep breath, turned her head to look out the window, and could only say with a little helplessness: "Look carefully first, Wang Huiyuan is very suspicious of me now, if something happens to Lin Zisu, he will probably blame me Come on." At that time, it will be even more impossible for Ru Yan and her brother.
Lao Liu nodded, worried to see that her whole body was covered with sadness, and swallowed the words again.
After being silent for a while, Lin Jinhua turned to look at him and said, "It's almost March, and the Spring Festival is about to begin. You quietly make people look after Jiang Qingshu, and don't let him have an accident at the last minute."
The sixth child nodded: "I understand."
"It's getting late, you go down the mountain first. With Mo Xue here, nothing will happen to me." She said lightly, she was really exhausted right now.
The sixth child couldn't say any more, looked at her bloodshot eyes, lowered his eyes and left.
Lin Jinhua watched people leave, and there was only one person left in the empty room. Sadness and fear swept over her like a tidal wave, leaving her nowhere to hide until dark.
When Zhao Huaiyan found her, she was curled up on the bed, her whole body was cold and tight, as if she was still shivering.
He picked her up from behind and apologized: "I'm late, sorry."
"Huaiyan..." When Lin Jinhua heard his voice, she finally turned over and hugged him, and buried her head in front of him. The grievance surged up in an instant, and she finally couldn't help crying softly up.
"I'm here." Zhao Huaiyan listened to her suppressed crying, felt extremely distressed, and hugged her even more tightly.
"I'm afraid..." Lin Jinyu burst into tears: "I'm afraid that everything I've done is in vain, I'm afraid that I won't be able to save anyone at all, I'm afraid that my existence will only bring danger to them, and it's all my fault ...Otherwise, Bai Lan will not die, and my brother and father will not be in danger..."
"I don't blame you." Zhao Huaiyan let her go slightly and looked at her teary eyes, and said softly: "You have tried your best, you are protecting them, without you, they will only be deceived and die again, Hua'er, no Blame you."
"But Bai Lan..."
"Bai Lan was an accident." He comforted, "If Bai Lan had a spirit in the sky, I wouldn't blame you. After all, you are only one person with one hand, how can you take care of so many things?"
"Huaiyan..." Lin Jinhua looked at the gentle him, and just wanted to cry out, crying out all the grievances of the past life, and crying out the carefulness and calculations of this life. If she could, she hoped that everyone would be like them on the surface. The way she pretended, there was not so much calculation, not so much jealousy.
Seeing her crying like rain, Zhao Huaiyan gently hugged her into his arms and let her cry as much as she wanted.
After she finished crying, someone brought dinner. It was the vegetarian food that Cai'er went to the kitchen to bring, and she kept it warm with hot water.
After she brought the dinner, she retreated wisely, leaving Zhao Huaiyan in the room.
He moved a small table and put it on the bed. Seeing that she didn't have much appetite, he smiled and said, "After eating, I'll take you down the mountain."
"Go down the mountain?"
"Don't you want to avenge Bai Lan?" He raised his hand and rubbed her head lovingly.She is always so affectionate, but it can't be regarded as a bad thing, it just makes him feel bad.
"Do you know who the murderer is?"
"The mastermind behind the scenes is Zhao Qing, but he has been recruited into the palace this afternoon." Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were a little complicated.
Lin Jinhua was also stunned: "How could it be him?"
Zhao Huaiyan brought a bowl of clear flower porridge to her, and said: "Gao Zhi didn't find out the reason."
Lin Jinhua took the porridge, knowing that she must not be the only one who was sad right now.For Zhao Huaiyan, Zhao Qing is his only close brother.
After a simple dinner, neither of them spoke again until they returned to the capital from Changle Temple.
The capital city is still lively and brightly lit. People come and go in and out of various stores, talking about the new things that happened in the capital city recently.
The guards at the gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were already sleepy, leaning against the door and taking a nap, and did not even lift their eyelids when a carriage passed by.
Zhao Huaiyan flew directly into the front yard with Lin Jinhua, as if entering the land of no one, without any cover.
Lin Jinhua paused, knowing that Zhao Huaiyan did it on purpose, and clearly let Zhao Qing know that they were coming.
The people in the dark saw Zhao Huaiyan coming swaggeringly with Lin Jinhua, they looked at each other, but finally they didn't come out to stop them.
Gao Zhi walked in front, pushed open the door of the study room, and after pressing a switch, the study room opened a door, there was an unexpected bloody smell, but a faint sandalwood scent.
Lin Jinhua only felt irony in her heart, Zhao Huaiyan took her hand and said softly, "Wait here for me, or come in with me?"
"Go in." Lin Jinhua was sure.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't refuse, he held her hand even tighter, and walked in with her.
The candle flames on the wall swayed slowly due to the wind, stretching the shadow of the person to a long distance, and dragging it to the ground like a ghost.
The more you walk in, the more you can see the hideousness inside. Various instruments of torture are hung on the wall, but the bloodstains are all cleaned up, and there are no bloodstains everywhere on the ground. If there are not occasional rats scurrying by, this place seems to be just an ordinary basement .
When they reached the open area, four or five men in black with long swords flashed out and surrounded them.
The leader looked at Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jinhua, and frowned slightly; "His Royal Highness Ning, why are you..."
"Gao Zhi." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly, Gao Zhi had already moved away.The figure was so fast that it seemed to value the shadow, but in a moment, the five of them had been kicked to the ground and howled.
"His Royal Highness Ning, what are you doing?" Someone shouted in pain.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Lin Jinhua again: "It's still early, I'll take you out for a walk if you deal with it high-handedly."
Lin Jinhua shook her head slightly, picked up the long sword they had dropped from the ground, and walked to the leading man in black: "Who stabbed the last sword."
"Yes..." He opened his mouth and gritted his teeth: "It's me..."
Before the words fell, Lin Jinhua's sword had already pierced down, hitting the heart, and the blow was fatal.
"I'm not a piece of meat on the chopping board. If His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince wants to make this knife, let's try it." She said in a cold voice. Now that the matter is out of the way, she is not afraid to open the skylight to Zhao Qing.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her thin back with a smile in his eyes, as long as she wasn't afraid, he would do his best to protect her.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Gao Zhi: "Order to go down and remove all the people who protect the concubine Jia. From now on, the Ninth Prince's Mansion and Ning Wang's Mansion will no longer have any relationship."
Gao Tian's heart trembled slightly, knowing that the prince had really made up his mind for Miss Lin, I'm afraid the Ninth Prince himself didn't expect it to be so serious.
He didn't dare to say much, and immediately bowed his hands in response.
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, as if something like 'side concubine' was mentioned vaguely.
Lin Jinzheng frowned slightly. The last time I saw Wei Yunyi was a month ago. Last time she looked in a hurry and her body was not in good condition. Could it be that she can't take it anymore?
She turned her head to look at Zhao Huaiyan, Zhao Huaiyan understood what she meant: "I'll take you there."
Seeing that he understood her instantly, Lin Jinhua clenched his hand a little behind her back.
The smile in Zhao Huaiyan's eyes was even wider, and he just took her out.
There were many people waiting outside Wei Yunyi's yard, but there were no people inside. Because she didn't like it, she sent them all out.
She lay sideways on the side of the bed, watching the candlelight on the candlestick jumping little by little, as if it was going to burn out in the next second, and it would be extinguished immediately, very much like her today, lingering on her last breath, and now it seems that it really has come to an end.
The noise outside gradually quieted down, and the candles in the yard were also extinguished. Everyone thought that she would not die, so they all left, leaving only one person guarding the gate.
She stared straight at the candle until it jumped suddenly, then she blinked her eyes, and said in a voice that could be blown away by the wind: "I told you, the jade butterfly is no longer on me, You don't have to come again."
"Concubine."
Lin Jinhua called her softly.
Wei Yunyi was slightly taken aback, then half-raised up and looked at Lin Jinhua who suddenly appeared in the room, and actually laughed, with despair in his smile: "I never expected to see you again."
Lin Jinhua saw that her face was pale as if she had become transparent, so she stepped forward and took her pulse lightly. She thought it was just a dead pulse that seemed to be running wild, but found something else.
"Concubine, you..."
"I have always dreamed that I gave birth to a white and fat daughter. If she is born, she must be very cute and cute..." Her eyes were misty, but she just looked at her with a smile: "Don't tell him, okay?" ?”
Lin Jinhua gritted her teeth slightly: "If it wasn't for this child, you would have lived longer." It's been more than two months, and she suddenly died when she saw her that time, and she didn't realize it.
"It's better to die as soon as possible, Jinhua, thank you for still coming to see me." She looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile, without asking why she suddenly appeared here in the middle of the night.
Lin Jinhua didn't speak, she really couldn't figure out why Wei Yunyi was like this.Does Zhao Qing love her?It's not necessarily that he doesn't love her, but he can't tolerate her.
Wei Yunyi lay down again, only smiled and looked at her: "You have to put away Jade Butterfly, I can help you. It's getting late, you go back."
"I'll help you prescribe a secondary medicine, maybe..."
"No need, Jinhua, thank you." Wei Yunyi's tone was soft, but firm.She just stared at the flickering candle, lost in thought, as if Lin Jinhua was no longer in the room.
Seeing that she insisted on this, Lin Jinhua didn't persuade her any more.
When she came out of the room, she felt stuffy and panicked in her heart. Does the current Wei Yunyi also have some shadows of her previous life?The infatuation did not change, but it ended miserably.
The maid outside had already been knocked out by Zhao Huaiyan. He stood at the door and looked at her with a sleepy expression. He stepped forward and grabbed her waist, and led her directly into the darkness.
The tallest restaurant in Beijing has seven floors, and Zhao Huaiyan took her all the way up to the top of the seven floors before stopping.
Lin Jinhua looked at the flickering lights of Wanjia downstairs, and her mood seemed to widen all of a sudden. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled slightly: "The prince also liked to come here alone before?"
"Yeah." Zhao Huaiyan pointed in one direction: "I can see you."
Lin Jinhua looked in his direction, wasn't that the direction of Prince Jing's Mansion.
She blushed slightly.
Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand and gently lifted the broken hair hanging by her ears for her. Seeing her starry eyes, he leaned over and kissed her lightly.
Lin Jinhua instinctively wanted to step back, but someone held the back of her head and could only be kissed to the end.
I don't know who started to set off fireworks, and the colorful fireworks bloomed like huge flowers, as if the sky was full of stars.
Lin Jinhua knew that her infatuation in this life would be handed over to him...
One night passed, and when Zhao Qing was able to return from the palace, he already knew that Zhao Huaiyan had brought Lin Jinhua to his Ninth Prince's Mansion, and also knew that Zhao Huaiyan had withdrawn everyone around his mother and concubine.
"Ninth prince, I'm afraid the concubine's health is going to die."
A servant girl followed him when she saw him coming back.
Zhao Qing just thought it was normal, didn't take it to heart, and went straight to the study.
When he got to the study and saw the five people killed in the secret room, he finally fell into a long silence until the news of Wei Yunyi's death came in the afternoon.
When Wei Yunyi died, he gave all his savings to the servant girl, and begged her to send a letter to Zhao Qing, but she hoped and hoped, until she breathed her last breath, the person she was waiting for hadn't come yet.She knew that in her life, the knot in her heart could not be untied.
When Zhao Qing heard the news of her death, he suddenly struggled out of the silence and looked at the maid who was talking back and forth: "Why did you die suddenly?"
The servant girl saw that his eyes were red when he was usually indifferent, and she was a little stunned: "The side concubine has been in poor health..."
"Didn't I let you take good care of me? Didn't you invite the best doctor? Go and invite a doctor!" The always elegant man no longer cared about his dignity and roared, and he didn't care about the people in the dungeon, so he walked towards Wei Yunyi's room go.
In the room, the maids and women knelt down and pretended to wipe away tears, while the resident doctor in the mansion was trembling.
As soon as Zhao Qing came over and saw the woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed as if she was sleeping, it was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
He stood there in the cold, and asked the doctor coldly: "Didn't you say that you can live for a few more months?"
"Yes...but..." He trembled and dared not answer.
Zhao Qing directly drew the long sword from the attendant's hand and pressed it against his neck: "Say."
"Yes...the side concubine has been pregnant for more than two months, and the side concubine will not take medicine when she has a child, that's why..."
"Then why didn't you say it earlier!" Zhao Qing shouted, tears finally overflowing from his eyes.
The doctor hurriedly kowtowed: "It was the side concubine who forbade the servant to say it, Your Highness forgive me..."
Zhao Qing kicked the man away, coldly swept around the servants in the room, and commanded in a cold voice: "Those who serve the side concubine personally will be buried with them, and the rest will be driven out of the mansion with both hands broken!"
With such a cruel decision, some cowards fainted immediately, while those who didn't fainted wailed.
The servant next to him worriedly said: "Prince, the emperor is planning to confer you, and you are like this now..."
"Do you think I can stay in the capital?" Zhao Huaiyan withdrew the people around Concubine Jia, and Lin Jinhua also discovered his secret. If he continued to stay in the capital, he would inevitably fall into the predicament of mediating with everyone. He has no power and power now , there is only one dead end.
"Then you mean..."
"Preparing for the funeral of my concubine, my prince will take advantage of the funeral of my concubine and request to be transferred from the capital to lead troops outside the pass!" He gritted his teeth, and all the tears in his eyes had disappeared.Looking at Wei Yunyi who was lifeless again, he left without looking back.
Lin Jinhua finished reciting the rebirth mantra for Bai Lan in the temple in the afternoon, and then got up to go back to the wing.Before stepping out of the door of the Buddhist hall, suddenly an aunt from the temple rushed over, pulled her and said: "Miss Lin, our teacher has suddenly fallen ill, can I trouble you to go and have a look?"
"No." Lin Jinhua glanced at her and refused directly.
The aunt was slightly taken aback. Ordinary people would deal with it anyway, so why did she refuse directly.
"Benefactor Lin, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda..."
"I don't need to build a seven-level pagoda." Lin Jinhua said lightly, and walked away.These aunts in the temple are not normal, they must have been bribed by others, especially the teacher's respect.
She took Cai'er and Mo Xue and walked away. Seeing that she was so indifferent, the aunt couldn't help but said, "Benefactor Lin, the emperor asked you to come here to pray for blessings. How could you refuse to save me? Then what you prayed for?" Aren't blessings meaningless? And if the teacher has some bad things..."
Lin Jinhua paused slightly.
There was hope in the aunt's eyes, but she turned to look at her indifferently: "Because I don't help people, you think the blessings I pray for are meaningless? Could it be that the Bodhisattva in the sky is as ignorant as you? Or, the emperor asked me to pray, but did not ask me to be a doctor. You have time to embarrass me here, why not go down the mountain to ask a doctor, the masters have been on this mountain for many years, and the uphill and downhill must be very fast. Could it be that I did it? If you think so, I think it’s better to go to the emperor to plead guilty when you return to Beijing tomorrow, and let him punish you if you want to be punished.”
My aunt was left speechless by what she said with reason and evidence.
"Master, is there anything else?" Lin Jinhua asked directly when she saw that she hadn't left yet.
Only then did the aunt come to her senses, her face turning green and turning pale, and hurried down the mountain.
After she left, Mo Xue whispered: "Jing En must have evil intentions."
"They are trying to catch me. If I go to treat Jing En and put him to death, it will be a big trouble. If I don't go now, I will be a helpless one at most. My reputation as a villain is so loud. , it's not bad." Lin Jinhua finished speaking lightly, and walked away.
They left, and a person came out from one side.
The other aunt next to him saw him and said, "His Royal Highness, what should we do? She is very shrewd, but she doesn't take the bait."
"It's not happy to fall into the hook of the king so easily, Lin Jinhua is Lin Jinhua." Zhao Kan looked at her leaving back with a dark look, with the corners of his mouth raised high.
Seeing his appearance, my aunt hesitated and said, "Then Mrs. Jingen..."
Zhao Kan glanced at her: "There's no need to stay, once she dies, you will be the host, too?"
"The poor nun must be happy to do things for the prince." She couldn't hide the joy on her face, and hurriedly saluted.
Zhao Kan hummed coldly, sent her away, and then looked at the man in gray beside him: "Is the important token you mentioned really on her?"
The gray-clothed man recalled the glimpse of the suburbs that day, and nodded affirmatively: "I am not mistaken. Although the jade butterfly was just a quick glance, its texture is different from ordinary jade. Except for the person who fled from southern Xinjiang, no one ever People have seen it."
"Okay, then we'll go get this token tonight." Zhao Kan's mouth turned evil, and he glanced at the bone flute in his hand: "Don't miss it this time."
"Don't worry, my lord, I have prepared more than one kind of Gu worms today, and she can't escape." The man in gray narrowed his slender eyes slightly, watching Lin Jinyu slowly disappearing around the corner, and tightened his hands. bone flute.
On Lin Jinhua's side, she just returned to the room and took out the jade butterfly from her sleeve.
She looked at Cai'er and said, "Go and watch in front of the door."
"Yes." Cai'er responded quickly.
After she left, Lin Jinhua picked up the jade butterfly and said to Mo Xue: "Since I saw that aunt just now, this jade has been feverish. I remember that this jade also had a fever when Zheng Ruyi tricked me out of the city last time. "At that time, she thought it was an illusion, because after getting on Xu Zhaozhao's horse and leaving, she no longer had a fever.
Mo Xue stared at the jade for a while, then frowned slightly: "My servant has heard from the prince that there is a kind of divine jade in southern Xinjiang, and when there are Gu insects around, the jade will become hot."
Lin Jinhua suddenly clutched the jade that had cooled down, and exchanged a glance with Mo Xue.That is to say, when I saw that aunt just now, there were people around who were carrying Gu worms.
"Miss, what should we do now? Do you want this servant to go down the mountain immediately and tell the prince?"
"I'm afraid it's too late." Lin Jinhua watched the sun sinking outside, and then swept around the small wing room, which couldn't hide anyone. By chance, she caught a glimpse of a pile of firewood piled up at the corner, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then went He called Cai'er to come in and give instructions.
After hearing this, Cai'er felt strange, but seeing that Lin Jinhua didn't look like she was joking, she nodded, "I'll go now, servant girl."
"Well, more, it may be of great use tonight." Lin Jinhua said.
Cai'er responded and hurried out.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua opened the window and looked at the fresh and dense vegetation in the dense forest. Her eyes dimmed slightly. She wanted to see who used the vicious things like Gu worms to harm people!
(End of this chapter)
Lin Jinhua woke up suddenly, sitting on the bed panting heavily.
Cai'er was guarding outside, and when she heard the noise, she immediately ran in: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Jinhua clutched her stuffy chest and shook her head. She had just dreamed of Bai Lan in her dream. In the previous life, Bai Lan died to help her, so what about this life?
She turned her head to see that the outside of the window was already faintly white, and she also lifted the quilt and got up.
Mo Xue came in from the outside, her body was still covered with the morning mist. Seeing that she had already got up, she frowned slightly and looked at her: "Miss..."
"Did you find Bai Lan?" Lin Jinhua suddenly had a bad feeling: "Are you still alive?"
Her last sentence was filled with anticipation and caution.
Seeing that she had guessed it, Mo Xue no longer concealed it: "When Mo Feng and Lao Liu found someone, they were already out of breath."
"How could it be..." Cai'er's eyes turned red in an instant. She and Bai Lan grew up next to Miss, and they love sisters. A few days ago, she took care of herself carefully. How could she be gone?She hurriedly turned her head to look at Lin Jinhua, and seeing her pale face, she choked up and called her, "Miss, why did Bai Lan die?"
"Yeah, how could he die..." Lin Jinhua's tone trembled slightly. She saved so many people, but in the end she still couldn't save the people around her.
Mo Xue couldn't bear to say that when she saw Bai Lan's body, she was stunned. No piece of flesh was intact, and she was so thin that she seemed to be out of shape.
"The fatal wound is the heart pierced by a sword." Mo Xue said softly.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly astringent, and tears just fell down.Bai Lan, she owed her two lifetimes. She thought she could protect her well in this life, but she didn't expect to let her die so early.
Mo Xue stepped forward to support her, and seeing her so sad, she felt that she really valued the people around her, but this was really a big weakness.
She said softly: "Miss, I have to go back to Changle Nunnery today, the sky will be bright in a while, we can't let the people in the princess mansion find out the abnormality."
Lin Jinhua knew it well, turned her head and sat down on the side of the warm couch, covering up the sadness in her heart, and then asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Where did you find the corpse?"
"Outside the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion."
"It's not him." Lin Jinhua let out a deep breath, and then opened her eyes, which were already full of sharpness.She knew Zhao Kan, if he really caught Bai Lan, he would not kill him so easily, he would definitely use it as a threat to himself, and even if he accidentally killed him, he would not throw him in such an obvious place outside his house, obviously someone wanted her. Plant him, but who?The one who opposed King Jing was Zhao Huaiyan except herself, and she knew that Zhao Huaiyan was not such a person.
"Lao Liu also said the same thing. He has had people staring at King Jing's Mansion for several days, and no one in it has been thrown out. Instead, there was a suspicious carriage in the middle of the night last night." Mo Xue said.
"Then it means that the person who killed Bailan was from the capital. Let Lao Liu keep watching. They clearly saw that Bailan was taken away by Zheng Ruyi that day. Why did he suddenly go elsewhere? What happened in it?" She said in a cold voice, but the clenched fist on one side couldn't stop trembling slightly.She hated herself for bringing so many disasters to the people around her, but she couldn't avoid it, so she could only wield the Soul Ecstasy Knife and get rid of them one by one!
Mo Xue nodded and was about to go out when she heard her say: "Write a letter and tell brother about this matter, and tell him what Bai Lan wanted to say before she was alive. Then find a quiet place for Bai Lan to be buried."
Mo Xue took a deep look at her, agreed, and stepped forward.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua listened to Cai'er's subdued crying, closed her eyes heavily, swallowed the soreness rising up in her throat, and said, "Go get some water and wash up. If you ask me later, just say yes." I remembered my mother."
"Yes."
"Also..." Lin Jinhua opened her eyes to look at her, and smiled slightly: "Your wedding has to be done earlier, so let's make it easier first, and when things settle down in a few days, I'll make up a big wedding for you."
"Miss, this servant doesn't want to..."
"Don't make trouble." Lin Jinhua knew that she didn't want to get married when Bai Lan died, but she needed a reason to send her out of here, she could no longer accept their deaths.
Cai'er's eyes were red and she didn't speak, she just shed tears silently.
Lin Jinyu sighed slightly in her heart and didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just said softly, "Go."
"Yes." Cai'er bowed, looked at her worriedly, and said softly: "Miss, this servant promised that Madam will take good care of you, and this servant will never hold you back."
Lin Jinyu's heart warmed slightly. Looking at her hand in front of her with half-nailed nails, and the deep scars that could not be removed on her small face that was originally smooth and clean, she smiled slightly: "I know."
Cai'er smiled and wiped away her tears before going down.
The sky was getting brighter, and the outside was gradually becoming lively. Early in the morning, a woman served a sumptuous breakfast. Lin Jinyu just pretended that nothing had happened, and went to the son-in-law's yard after eating the breakfast.
Mrs. Ling had already been waiting at the gate of the courtyard in person, and when she saw her coming, she stepped forward to meet her: "How did Miss Lin rest yesterday?"
"Very well, thank you Madam for taking care of me." Lin Jinhua bowed obediently.
Mrs. Ling nodded to the woman next to her in satisfaction, before she smiled and said, "I'll trouble you to run again in the morning. After the son-in-law drank the medicine yesterday, his cough has eased a lot."
"It's okay." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, and then went in with her.
Duanhui had been staring at the maids serving the soup and medicine early in the morning, when she saw her coming, she just glanced at her and then turned her eyes away.
The son-in-law also saw her coming, and smiled weakly: "Ms. Lin's medical skills are really good."
"The concubine's reputation is too high." Lin Jinhua greeted the two of them, and the maid moved the embroidered stool and placed it beside the bed, and put a light veil on the concubine's wrist before guiding her to sit down.
Lin Jinhua stepped forward to feel the pulse, and recovered a little bit, but the psychological effect may be more important.
She looked at the son-in-law with a smile and said: "When the weather clears up in a few days, the son-in-law can come out and walk around, as long as you don't catch a cold from the wind." It's also good to take more walks to see the colorful flowers and plants.
The son-in-law nodded slightly, looked at her slightly curved eyes, and fell into deep thought. It was Duanhui who coughed lightly before he came back to his senses, and smiled at Lin Jinhua, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Jinhua also noticed his gaze, could this be the reason why Duan Hui didn't like her in the first place?
She naturally took a few steps back and stood at the head of the son-in-law, just as he couldn't see her, so she gave the old lady some more instructions, and then left.
The old lady was eager to love her son, and was busy exhorting her, so she only asked her confidant, Mama Zhu, to send Lin Jinhua out of the house.
Lin Jinhua knew that there were only a few people in the princess mansion, and she didn't want to sit in a sedan chair, so she planned to walk to the door.
Zhu's mother didn't say much, she didn't put on airs when she saw her, and even chatted with her when she left.
Pass through the long corridor in front, and then go out through two vertical flower doors. Just as Lin Jinhua stepped onto the long corridor, a small figure suddenly ran over and stopped her.
Zhu's mother thought that the little overlord of the family was going to attack Lin Jinhua, so she hurriedly said nervously, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Ling Weiye looked at Lin Jinhua, timidly but bravely mustered up his courage, and asked her, "Will my father die?"
"No." Seeing that this is the princess mansion, Lin Jinhua said patiently even though she didn't like the brat, "The son-in-law's body is getting better day by day, and if you don't make him angry by doing bad things, he can still do it." Live to be a hundred."
Originally thought that such words would not be able to coax Ling Weiye, but he never thought that his eyes were red: "Then if I am obedient, Daddy will be fine?"
"Eat well, study obediently, don't lose your temper, don't hit people, and the most important thing is not to push people into the water." Lin Jinhua only coaxed the children.
When Ling Weiye heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he hurried to the direction he came from just now.
Zhu's mother stretched her neck to look, and there was a servant girl calling for help. It is likely that he pushed the servant girl he didn't like into the water again.
She looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile and said, "Although the king of the little county is a bit domineering on weekdays, his heart is not bad, and he is extremely filial."
Lin Jinhua smiled politely, but did not answer.
Zhu's mother knew it well, so she just smiled and sent her out.
When they left, they specially sent two guards from the Princess Mansion to escort them: "Miss Lin, I just heard that there are assassins in Changle Nunnery. The guards will wait at the foot of the mountain and take you back when you go down the mountain. This is what the old lady meant. "
Lin Jinhua knew that Mrs. Ling saw something unusual in the nunnery, so she didn't refuse.
The carriage started to move forward slowly, she lowered the curtain of the carriage and stopped talking, thinking of the dead Bai Lan made her heart feel like a knife.
In a corner not far from the Princess Mansion, a woman wrapped in a black veil stared at her to leave before turning her head and heading towards the Zheng Mansion.
It's cold inside Zheng's mansion now, Mrs. Zheng was so angry that her face turned blue, she looked at the maidservants who were all over the yard and scolded: "You can't even look down on a single person, what use are you for?"
The maids were trembling, and none of them dared to speak out.
Mrs. Zheng remembered that when she went to discuss the marriage with Mrs. Liu of Qianhu yesterday, she was willing to help her to ask Princess Duanhui and Mrs. Dingnanhou for help. She never thought that Zheng Ruyi would disappear after she came back. .
She looked at the people below, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say, so she could only say: "Okay, go out and find someone for me, don't let the news leak. If you can't find anyone, don't come back!" This time, she had to marry Zheng Ruyi, otherwise, sooner or later, her Zheng family's hard-earned reputation would be ruined.
Zheng Ruyi returned to the back corner door, opened the black veil and was about to enter the mansion, but before entering the door, she heard the mother-in-law muttering from inside: "I don't know where the eldest lady is. She is really shameless. Fortunately, the old man Someone promised her to Mr. Liu's family, otherwise I don't know how big a joke will be made."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and find someone." The maid muttered again, and her voice faded away.
After hearing this, Zheng Ruyi immediately put down the veil and turned to leave.
She planned to go to Zhao Kan yesterday, but she saw no one at all, but she did see the maid Bai Lan who was next to Lin Jinhua being thrown out of the carriage, and she also saw the people in the carriage.
Her eyes dimmed slightly, and when the people from Zheng's mansion opened the back door, she had already turned around and walked quickly towards King Jing's mansion.Now there is no way out, either marry Zhao Kan or die!
Zhao Kan only came back from the palace near the early morning, and he hadn't slept for two days, and his heart seemed to be filled with gunpowder.
Originally, the calculation was good. It could not only drag Lin Jinyu into the water, but also dampen Zhao Huaiyan's spirit. Unexpectedly, in the end, he lost several generals, and even lost a firearms store worth a million taels of silver!
He was annoyed when he suddenly heard the boy outside saying that Zheng Ruyi asked for a visit.
Hearing this, he only frowned slightly impatiently, and looked a little more impatiently at him: "Send her away."
"But she said she has something very important to tell the prince."
"A very important matter?" Zhao Kan became more and more impatient. Zheng Ruyi was of little use to him now, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Before the servant could reply to his words, a man in gray clothes holding a bone flute who was waiting in the study suddenly came out, went to his side and whispered: "My lord, this Miss Zheng Ruyi seems to have been born on a very cloudy day?"
Zhao Kan glanced at him, then paused: "You want to use her to practice Gu?"
The man in gray lowered his head: "If the prince doesn't allow it, the grass people will never touch her."
"It's not impossible." Zhao Kan turned his head and gave the servant a cold look: "Bring someone in."
"Yes."
The boy hurried down.
Not long after, Zheng Ruyi had already walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the man in gray clothes standing behind Zhao Kan, looking at him with burning eyes. He had a centipede-like scar from his forehead to his face. He was tall and extremely thin, and he looked a little eerie.
She was slightly timid, looked at Zhao Kan pitifully, and said softly, "My lord, you can save me as you wish."
"Didn't you say you have something important to tell me?" Zhao Kan said impatiently.
Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth slightly, and then said: "Yes, but my lord, please save Ruyi first, otherwise Ruyi will have to die..."
"Are you threatening this king?"
"Ruyi dare not." Zheng Ruyi hurriedly said.
Zhao Kan gave her a dark look, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's the matter."
Only then did Zheng Ruyi tell about Mrs. Zheng's intention to marry her to that stupid son of the Liu family, and she looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Ruyi is already the prince's man, I dare not be unfaithful to the prince, I would rather die I will never marry, but now my grandmother has made up her mind..."
"So, you want me to accept you." Zhao Kan looked at her with a half-smile.
Zheng Ruyi's face was slightly blushing, she lowered her eyes and said nothing, which meant she acquiesced.Since he claimed his innocence, he naturally wanted to marry himself.
Zhao Kan's eyes turned cold, and he looked at the man in gray in a blink of an eye, and said, "Then can you tell me what you want to tell me now?"
"Yes." Zheng Ruyi was not sure whether he would accept her, but she also knew that she had no capital to annoy him, so she just explained what happened last night in detail: "Ruyi sees it very clearly, then leave Bai Lan alone." The person with the corpse was the personal entourage of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, and left after leaving him in King Jing's Mansion, and then another group of people came, who seemed to be Lin Jinhua's people, and took Bai Lan's body away again."
"Is it really Zhao Qing's person?" Zhao Kan was annoyed that Zhao Qing planned to betray the prefect of Yuzhou, but he never thought that he would dare to kill the people around Lin Jinhua to frame him.
"Well. Although the night was dark, they didn't know that I was waiting to see the prince around the corner, so I didn't cover it up." Zheng Ruyi said firmly.
Hearing this, Zhao Kan laughed out loud: "This is really a surprise, Zhao Qing's move, I don't know if he obeyed Zhao Huaiyan's order?"
Zheng Ruyi understood what he meant in an instant, and followed suit: "I heard that Lin Jinzheng attaches great importance to this maid, as if she were her own sister. Now, if she knows that it was the work of the Ninth Prince, she will definitely think that King Ning is also involved. The Ninth Prince has the best relationship, this is known to all the world."
"That's right." After Zhao Kan finished speaking, he turned his eyes and looked at Zheng Ruyi: "You go back first, and this king will send someone to tell your grandmother to accept you into the mansion, but don't even think about being the concubine."
Zheng Ruyi's palms tightened slightly, and she forced a smile, "As long as I can serve the prince, Ruyi doesn't care."
"That's good." Zhao Kan raised his hand and sent her out. As soon as she left, he immediately called someone to pass the news to Changle Temple.
this compartment.
Lin Jinhua had just arrived at Changle Nunnery, and she saw Lao Liu who had been waiting in the house early, and the people in Changle Nunnery didn't seem to notice him.
When he saw Lin Jinhua, seeing her slightly red eyes, he hurriedly lowered his eyes and said, "Miss."
"Why are you here?" Lin Jinhua asked Cai'er to guard the yard, then pushed open the window on one side and sat down by the window.
"We found Lin Zisu's trace," he said.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly cold: "Where is it?"
"In the capital, they are protected." He said.
"Wang Huiyuan?"
"Yes." The sixth child nodded.
Lin Jinhua took a deep breath, turned her head to look out the window, and could only say with a little helplessness: "Look carefully first, Wang Huiyuan is very suspicious of me now, if something happens to Lin Zisu, he will probably blame me Come on." At that time, it will be even more impossible for Ru Yan and her brother.
Lao Liu nodded, worried to see that her whole body was covered with sadness, and swallowed the words again.
After being silent for a while, Lin Jinhua turned to look at him and said, "It's almost March, and the Spring Festival is about to begin. You quietly make people look after Jiang Qingshu, and don't let him have an accident at the last minute."
The sixth child nodded: "I understand."
"It's getting late, you go down the mountain first. With Mo Xue here, nothing will happen to me." She said lightly, she was really exhausted right now.
The sixth child couldn't say any more, looked at her bloodshot eyes, lowered his eyes and left.
Lin Jinhua watched people leave, and there was only one person left in the empty room. Sadness and fear swept over her like a tidal wave, leaving her nowhere to hide until dark.
When Zhao Huaiyan found her, she was curled up on the bed, her whole body was cold and tight, as if she was still shivering.
He picked her up from behind and apologized: "I'm late, sorry."
"Huaiyan..." When Lin Jinhua heard his voice, she finally turned over and hugged him, and buried her head in front of him. The grievance surged up in an instant, and she finally couldn't help crying softly up.
"I'm here." Zhao Huaiyan listened to her suppressed crying, felt extremely distressed, and hugged her even more tightly.
"I'm afraid..." Lin Jinyu burst into tears: "I'm afraid that everything I've done is in vain, I'm afraid that I won't be able to save anyone at all, I'm afraid that my existence will only bring danger to them, and it's all my fault ...Otherwise, Bai Lan will not die, and my brother and father will not be in danger..."
"I don't blame you." Zhao Huaiyan let her go slightly and looked at her teary eyes, and said softly: "You have tried your best, you are protecting them, without you, they will only be deceived and die again, Hua'er, no Blame you."
"But Bai Lan..."
"Bai Lan was an accident." He comforted, "If Bai Lan had a spirit in the sky, I wouldn't blame you. After all, you are only one person with one hand, how can you take care of so many things?"
"Huaiyan..." Lin Jinhua looked at the gentle him, and just wanted to cry out, crying out all the grievances of the past life, and crying out the carefulness and calculations of this life. If she could, she hoped that everyone would be like them on the surface. The way she pretended, there was not so much calculation, not so much jealousy.
Seeing her crying like rain, Zhao Huaiyan gently hugged her into his arms and let her cry as much as she wanted.
After she finished crying, someone brought dinner. It was the vegetarian food that Cai'er went to the kitchen to bring, and she kept it warm with hot water.
After she brought the dinner, she retreated wisely, leaving Zhao Huaiyan in the room.
He moved a small table and put it on the bed. Seeing that she didn't have much appetite, he smiled and said, "After eating, I'll take you down the mountain."
"Go down the mountain?"
"Don't you want to avenge Bai Lan?" He raised his hand and rubbed her head lovingly.She is always so affectionate, but it can't be regarded as a bad thing, it just makes him feel bad.
"Do you know who the murderer is?"
"The mastermind behind the scenes is Zhao Qing, but he has been recruited into the palace this afternoon." Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were a little complicated.
Lin Jinhua was also stunned: "How could it be him?"
Zhao Huaiyan brought a bowl of clear flower porridge to her, and said: "Gao Zhi didn't find out the reason."
Lin Jinhua took the porridge, knowing that she must not be the only one who was sad right now.For Zhao Huaiyan, Zhao Qing is his only close brother.
After a simple dinner, neither of them spoke again until they returned to the capital from Changle Temple.
The capital city is still lively and brightly lit. People come and go in and out of various stores, talking about the new things that happened in the capital city recently.
The guards at the gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion were already sleepy, leaning against the door and taking a nap, and did not even lift their eyelids when a carriage passed by.
Zhao Huaiyan flew directly into the front yard with Lin Jinhua, as if entering the land of no one, without any cover.
Lin Jinhua paused, knowing that Zhao Huaiyan did it on purpose, and clearly let Zhao Qing know that they were coming.
The people in the dark saw Zhao Huaiyan coming swaggeringly with Lin Jinhua, they looked at each other, but finally they didn't come out to stop them.
Gao Zhi walked in front, pushed open the door of the study room, and after pressing a switch, the study room opened a door, there was an unexpected bloody smell, but a faint sandalwood scent.
Lin Jinhua only felt irony in her heart, Zhao Huaiyan took her hand and said softly, "Wait here for me, or come in with me?"
"Go in." Lin Jinhua was sure.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't refuse, he held her hand even tighter, and walked in with her.
The candle flames on the wall swayed slowly due to the wind, stretching the shadow of the person to a long distance, and dragging it to the ground like a ghost.
The more you walk in, the more you can see the hideousness inside. Various instruments of torture are hung on the wall, but the bloodstains are all cleaned up, and there are no bloodstains everywhere on the ground. If there are not occasional rats scurrying by, this place seems to be just an ordinary basement .
When they reached the open area, four or five men in black with long swords flashed out and surrounded them.
The leader looked at Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jinhua, and frowned slightly; "His Royal Highness Ning, why are you..."
"Gao Zhi." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly, Gao Zhi had already moved away.The figure was so fast that it seemed to value the shadow, but in a moment, the five of them had been kicked to the ground and howled.
"His Royal Highness Ning, what are you doing?" Someone shouted in pain.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Lin Jinhua again: "It's still early, I'll take you out for a walk if you deal with it high-handedly."
Lin Jinhua shook her head slightly, picked up the long sword they had dropped from the ground, and walked to the leading man in black: "Who stabbed the last sword."
"Yes..." He opened his mouth and gritted his teeth: "It's me..."
Before the words fell, Lin Jinhua's sword had already pierced down, hitting the heart, and the blow was fatal.
"I'm not a piece of meat on the chopping board. If His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince wants to make this knife, let's try it." She said in a cold voice. Now that the matter is out of the way, she is not afraid to open the skylight to Zhao Qing.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her thin back with a smile in his eyes, as long as she wasn't afraid, he would do his best to protect her.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Gao Zhi: "Order to go down and remove all the people who protect the concubine Jia. From now on, the Ninth Prince's Mansion and Ning Wang's Mansion will no longer have any relationship."
Gao Tian's heart trembled slightly, knowing that the prince had really made up his mind for Miss Lin, I'm afraid the Ninth Prince himself didn't expect it to be so serious.
He didn't dare to say much, and immediately bowed his hands in response.
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, as if something like 'side concubine' was mentioned vaguely.
Lin Jinzheng frowned slightly. The last time I saw Wei Yunyi was a month ago. Last time she looked in a hurry and her body was not in good condition. Could it be that she can't take it anymore?
She turned her head to look at Zhao Huaiyan, Zhao Huaiyan understood what she meant: "I'll take you there."
Seeing that he understood her instantly, Lin Jinhua clenched his hand a little behind her back.
The smile in Zhao Huaiyan's eyes was even wider, and he just took her out.
There were many people waiting outside Wei Yunyi's yard, but there were no people inside. Because she didn't like it, she sent them all out.
She lay sideways on the side of the bed, watching the candlelight on the candlestick jumping little by little, as if it was going to burn out in the next second, and it would be extinguished immediately, very much like her today, lingering on her last breath, and now it seems that it really has come to an end.
The noise outside gradually quieted down, and the candles in the yard were also extinguished. Everyone thought that she would not die, so they all left, leaving only one person guarding the gate.
She stared straight at the candle until it jumped suddenly, then she blinked her eyes, and said in a voice that could be blown away by the wind: "I told you, the jade butterfly is no longer on me, You don't have to come again."
"Concubine."
Lin Jinhua called her softly.
Wei Yunyi was slightly taken aback, then half-raised up and looked at Lin Jinhua who suddenly appeared in the room, and actually laughed, with despair in his smile: "I never expected to see you again."
Lin Jinhua saw that her face was pale as if she had become transparent, so she stepped forward and took her pulse lightly. She thought it was just a dead pulse that seemed to be running wild, but found something else.
"Concubine, you..."
"I have always dreamed that I gave birth to a white and fat daughter. If she is born, she must be very cute and cute..." Her eyes were misty, but she just looked at her with a smile: "Don't tell him, okay?" ?”
Lin Jinhua gritted her teeth slightly: "If it wasn't for this child, you would have lived longer." It's been more than two months, and she suddenly died when she saw her that time, and she didn't realize it.
"It's better to die as soon as possible, Jinhua, thank you for still coming to see me." She looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile, without asking why she suddenly appeared here in the middle of the night.
Lin Jinhua didn't speak, she really couldn't figure out why Wei Yunyi was like this.Does Zhao Qing love her?It's not necessarily that he doesn't love her, but he can't tolerate her.
Wei Yunyi lay down again, only smiled and looked at her: "You have to put away Jade Butterfly, I can help you. It's getting late, you go back."
"I'll help you prescribe a secondary medicine, maybe..."
"No need, Jinhua, thank you." Wei Yunyi's tone was soft, but firm.She just stared at the flickering candle, lost in thought, as if Lin Jinhua was no longer in the room.
Seeing that she insisted on this, Lin Jinhua didn't persuade her any more.
When she came out of the room, she felt stuffy and panicked in her heart. Does the current Wei Yunyi also have some shadows of her previous life?The infatuation did not change, but it ended miserably.
The maid outside had already been knocked out by Zhao Huaiyan. He stood at the door and looked at her with a sleepy expression. He stepped forward and grabbed her waist, and led her directly into the darkness.
The tallest restaurant in Beijing has seven floors, and Zhao Huaiyan took her all the way up to the top of the seven floors before stopping.
Lin Jinhua looked at the flickering lights of Wanjia downstairs, and her mood seemed to widen all of a sudden. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled slightly: "The prince also liked to come here alone before?"
"Yeah." Zhao Huaiyan pointed in one direction: "I can see you."
Lin Jinhua looked in his direction, wasn't that the direction of Prince Jing's Mansion.
She blushed slightly.
Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand and gently lifted the broken hair hanging by her ears for her. Seeing her starry eyes, he leaned over and kissed her lightly.
Lin Jinhua instinctively wanted to step back, but someone held the back of her head and could only be kissed to the end.
I don't know who started to set off fireworks, and the colorful fireworks bloomed like huge flowers, as if the sky was full of stars.
Lin Jinhua knew that her infatuation in this life would be handed over to him...
One night passed, and when Zhao Qing was able to return from the palace, he already knew that Zhao Huaiyan had brought Lin Jinhua to his Ninth Prince's Mansion, and also knew that Zhao Huaiyan had withdrawn everyone around his mother and concubine.
"Ninth prince, I'm afraid the concubine's health is going to die."
A servant girl followed him when she saw him coming back.
Zhao Qing just thought it was normal, didn't take it to heart, and went straight to the study.
When he got to the study and saw the five people killed in the secret room, he finally fell into a long silence until the news of Wei Yunyi's death came in the afternoon.
When Wei Yunyi died, he gave all his savings to the servant girl, and begged her to send a letter to Zhao Qing, but she hoped and hoped, until she breathed her last breath, the person she was waiting for hadn't come yet.She knew that in her life, the knot in her heart could not be untied.
When Zhao Qing heard the news of her death, he suddenly struggled out of the silence and looked at the maid who was talking back and forth: "Why did you die suddenly?"
The servant girl saw that his eyes were red when he was usually indifferent, and she was a little stunned: "The side concubine has been in poor health..."
"Didn't I let you take good care of me? Didn't you invite the best doctor? Go and invite a doctor!" The always elegant man no longer cared about his dignity and roared, and he didn't care about the people in the dungeon, so he walked towards Wei Yunyi's room go.
In the room, the maids and women knelt down and pretended to wipe away tears, while the resident doctor in the mansion was trembling.
As soon as Zhao Qing came over and saw the woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed as if she was sleeping, it was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart.
He stood there in the cold, and asked the doctor coldly: "Didn't you say that you can live for a few more months?"
"Yes...but..." He trembled and dared not answer.
Zhao Qing directly drew the long sword from the attendant's hand and pressed it against his neck: "Say."
"Yes...the side concubine has been pregnant for more than two months, and the side concubine will not take medicine when she has a child, that's why..."
"Then why didn't you say it earlier!" Zhao Qing shouted, tears finally overflowing from his eyes.
The doctor hurriedly kowtowed: "It was the side concubine who forbade the servant to say it, Your Highness forgive me..."
Zhao Qing kicked the man away, coldly swept around the servants in the room, and commanded in a cold voice: "Those who serve the side concubine personally will be buried with them, and the rest will be driven out of the mansion with both hands broken!"
With such a cruel decision, some cowards fainted immediately, while those who didn't fainted wailed.
The servant next to him worriedly said: "Prince, the emperor is planning to confer you, and you are like this now..."
"Do you think I can stay in the capital?" Zhao Huaiyan withdrew the people around Concubine Jia, and Lin Jinhua also discovered his secret. If he continued to stay in the capital, he would inevitably fall into the predicament of mediating with everyone. He has no power and power now , there is only one dead end.
"Then you mean..."
"Preparing for the funeral of my concubine, my prince will take advantage of the funeral of my concubine and request to be transferred from the capital to lead troops outside the pass!" He gritted his teeth, and all the tears in his eyes had disappeared.Looking at Wei Yunyi who was lifeless again, he left without looking back.
Lin Jinhua finished reciting the rebirth mantra for Bai Lan in the temple in the afternoon, and then got up to go back to the wing.Before stepping out of the door of the Buddhist hall, suddenly an aunt from the temple rushed over, pulled her and said: "Miss Lin, our teacher has suddenly fallen ill, can I trouble you to go and have a look?"
"No." Lin Jinhua glanced at her and refused directly.
The aunt was slightly taken aback. Ordinary people would deal with it anyway, so why did she refuse directly.
"Benefactor Lin, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda..."
"I don't need to build a seven-level pagoda." Lin Jinhua said lightly, and walked away.These aunts in the temple are not normal, they must have been bribed by others, especially the teacher's respect.
She took Cai'er and Mo Xue and walked away. Seeing that she was so indifferent, the aunt couldn't help but said, "Benefactor Lin, the emperor asked you to come here to pray for blessings. How could you refuse to save me? Then what you prayed for?" Aren't blessings meaningless? And if the teacher has some bad things..."
Lin Jinhua paused slightly.
There was hope in the aunt's eyes, but she turned to look at her indifferently: "Because I don't help people, you think the blessings I pray for are meaningless? Could it be that the Bodhisattva in the sky is as ignorant as you? Or, the emperor asked me to pray, but did not ask me to be a doctor. You have time to embarrass me here, why not go down the mountain to ask a doctor, the masters have been on this mountain for many years, and the uphill and downhill must be very fast. Could it be that I did it? If you think so, I think it’s better to go to the emperor to plead guilty when you return to Beijing tomorrow, and let him punish you if you want to be punished.”
My aunt was left speechless by what she said with reason and evidence.
"Master, is there anything else?" Lin Jinhua asked directly when she saw that she hadn't left yet.
Only then did the aunt come to her senses, her face turning green and turning pale, and hurried down the mountain.
After she left, Mo Xue whispered: "Jing En must have evil intentions."
"They are trying to catch me. If I go to treat Jing En and put him to death, it will be a big trouble. If I don't go now, I will be a helpless one at most. My reputation as a villain is so loud. , it's not bad." Lin Jinhua finished speaking lightly, and walked away.
They left, and a person came out from one side.
The other aunt next to him saw him and said, "His Royal Highness, what should we do? She is very shrewd, but she doesn't take the bait."
"It's not happy to fall into the hook of the king so easily, Lin Jinhua is Lin Jinhua." Zhao Kan looked at her leaving back with a dark look, with the corners of his mouth raised high.
Seeing his appearance, my aunt hesitated and said, "Then Mrs. Jingen..."
Zhao Kan glanced at her: "There's no need to stay, once she dies, you will be the host, too?"
"The poor nun must be happy to do things for the prince." She couldn't hide the joy on her face, and hurriedly saluted.
Zhao Kan hummed coldly, sent her away, and then looked at the man in gray beside him: "Is the important token you mentioned really on her?"
The gray-clothed man recalled the glimpse of the suburbs that day, and nodded affirmatively: "I am not mistaken. Although the jade butterfly was just a quick glance, its texture is different from ordinary jade. Except for the person who fled from southern Xinjiang, no one ever People have seen it."
"Okay, then we'll go get this token tonight." Zhao Kan's mouth turned evil, and he glanced at the bone flute in his hand: "Don't miss it this time."
"Don't worry, my lord, I have prepared more than one kind of Gu worms today, and she can't escape." The man in gray narrowed his slender eyes slightly, watching Lin Jinyu slowly disappearing around the corner, and tightened his hands. bone flute.
On Lin Jinhua's side, she just returned to the room and took out the jade butterfly from her sleeve.
She looked at Cai'er and said, "Go and watch in front of the door."
"Yes." Cai'er responded quickly.
After she left, Lin Jinhua picked up the jade butterfly and said to Mo Xue: "Since I saw that aunt just now, this jade has been feverish. I remember that this jade also had a fever when Zheng Ruyi tricked me out of the city last time. "At that time, she thought it was an illusion, because after getting on Xu Zhaozhao's horse and leaving, she no longer had a fever.
Mo Xue stared at the jade for a while, then frowned slightly: "My servant has heard from the prince that there is a kind of divine jade in southern Xinjiang, and when there are Gu insects around, the jade will become hot."
Lin Jinhua suddenly clutched the jade that had cooled down, and exchanged a glance with Mo Xue.That is to say, when I saw that aunt just now, there were people around who were carrying Gu worms.
"Miss, what should we do now? Do you want this servant to go down the mountain immediately and tell the prince?"
"I'm afraid it's too late." Lin Jinhua watched the sun sinking outside, and then swept around the small wing room, which couldn't hide anyone. By chance, she caught a glimpse of a pile of firewood piled up at the corner, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then went He called Cai'er to come in and give instructions.
After hearing this, Cai'er felt strange, but seeing that Lin Jinhua didn't look like she was joking, she nodded, "I'll go now, servant girl."
"Well, more, it may be of great use tonight." Lin Jinhua said.
Cai'er responded and hurried out.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua opened the window and looked at the fresh and dense vegetation in the dense forest. Her eyes dimmed slightly. She wanted to see who used the vicious things like Gu worms to harm people!
