Chapter 69 The People Behind the Scenes
Zhu Wucai had been waiting outside the city for quite a while now, followed by a large copper-covered mule cart and a courteous servant driving the cart.

After waiting for a while, the servant said: "The shopkeeper..."

"Call me master!" Zhu Wucai glanced at him and snorted softly, "Master, I'm going to be a high-ranking official in the future, and anyone who sees me will have to bow their heads and call me Master Zhu."

The servant was also clever, and immediately responded: "Yes, Master Zhu, how long do we have to wait here? I'm afraid the nobleman is getting impatient."

Zhu Wucai was also a little annoyed when he heard it, he looked towards the city and said, "Why isn't this damn old woman here?"

"Will it be detained?" the servant asked.

Zhu Wucai shook his head: "Lin Jinhua treats her servants like relatives, hehe, I just took some money from her, and besides, the old woman has done so much with her, she won't do anything to her, maybe even Give her some money."

"really?"

"It's not serious, that prodigal bitch..." Zhu Wucai made another sarcasm, secretly laughing at Lin Jinhua's stupidity, not only let Yang's mother catch so many handles, but also handed over the shop to him without reservation from the beginning , what you get in the end is nothing but money and human resources.

While she was talking, a woman hurriedly ran towards him, Zhu Wucai took a look, it was his mother-in-law Yang Mama.

Mama Yang came over with a real 100 taels of silver, Zhu Wucai immediately turned around and got into the carriage, but Mama Yang hesitated.

Seeing that she still didn't follow, Zhu Wucai couldn't help but annoyed: "What are you doing? You are going to wait in a hurry."

Mother Yang couldn't explain why, but she always felt flustered: "I'm still worried, Zhu Wucai, Miss is not an ordinary person, I..."

"She's just such a small trick, what are you afraid of? Besides, now she let you go, can you still catch up?" Zhu Wucai snorted lightly.

Mother Yang still felt that something was wrong. When she remembered what Lin Jinhua had told her on purpose, people who hated betrayal the most. They took the money and ran away. At most, it was considered cheating, but as Zhu Wucai said, going to see the nobleman was betrayal. up.

She was still worried, and said: "If you forget it, let's take the silver and leave. It's several thousand taels. When we left, the lady gave me another 100 taels. Even if we go to buy a hundred acres of land, we will hire a bunch of servants." That's enough."

Zhu Wucai saw that she was retreating, suddenly his face became cold, he walked to the side of the carriage and said in a cold voice: "You can think clearly, the person we are going to meet, but Si..." He said a word, swallowed again Go on: "If you don't dare to go, it's a dead end, and do you want to be an ordinary person who is bullied everywhere for the rest of your life? A mere wife of six ranks and a thousand households can bully us to death. I, Zhu Wucai, have such a great ability. If you don't believe it, you can't earn a sixth-rank official."

Yang's mother glanced at him who didn't know much, and said angrily: "You think it's so easy to be a sixth-rank official..."

"Okay, don't talk too much, if you want to go back, go back alone, if you don't go back, get in the car now." Zhu Wucai said coldly.

Mother Yang looked at her man, thought of Lin Jinhua, hesitated for a while, then made up her mind and got into the carriage.

None of them knew that Mo Xue had already followed behind.

Xu House.

Although Lin Xiyu and Lin Jinhua had torn apart in private, they were still sisters on the surface. Even if Lin Duan became a concubine, Lin Xiyu would still be her concubine sister.

Mo Xue was not there, so she found a polite woman from Xu's mansion to send her condolences to King Jing's mansion, but she didn't go there herself.

Cai'er waited by her side, seeing her just reading a book by the warm couch as if nothing had happened, she smiled and said: "Miss, just now Miss Zhaozhao sent someone to ask, can you go to the Princess Mansion tomorrow?"

"Naturally." Lin Jinhua casually flipped through the pages of the book before continuing, "Tell her to be careful tomorrow."

"Yes." Cai'er stepped back in response.

Lin Jinhua looked at her back as she turned her head and went out, and knew it was time to see her off.

Because of Lin Xiyu's death, it was not good for Zhao Kan to immediately accept Zheng Ruyi as his side concubine, but he also sent a message to Zheng's residence, which was a final decision.

Mrs. Liu also comforted her son by saying that she would soon be able to marry Zheng Ruyi, but suddenly someone came from Zheng's mansion to repent, and she immediately brought a dozen servants to Zheng's mansion.

Mrs. Zheng also had a headache and refused to see her, but Mrs. Liu made a fuss at the door of the house, so Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to come to the door to meet her, and she called out affectionately from afar: "Mrs. Liu, you What are you doing..."

"What are you doing? Our Liu family has given out all the wedding candy to others. If you say you regret the marriage, you regret the marriage. Do you not take my Liu family seriously? Yes, my Liu family is not as good as your Zheng family, but you have to think clearly If you humiliate the Liu family like this, the Liu family will definitely not give up! Mrs. Liu's eyes are as wide as copper bells. She always pays attention to her manners, but she also ran around to save Zheng Lai. When everyone turned around and regretted the marriage, she lost all face.

Mrs. Zheng was also full of bitterness, she only said: "It is really His Royal Highness King Jing who wants to marry my family Zheng Ruyi as his side concubine, that's why it happened."

"King Jing? Will you fall in love with that broken flower and willow in your house?" She deliberately yelled at the mansion. Zheng Ruyi's yard is not far from here, and she could hear it clearly.

She sat in the room with a livid face, just waiting for this Mrs. Liu to leave.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't hold back her face, she just said: "This time the Zheng family did something wrong, what do you think should be done? It's King Jing..."

"I don't care. Since you admit that you did something wrong, then you will lose money. I have everything prepared for the wedding candy, and you can't let me waste it." Mrs. Liu said directly without making any detours.

When Mrs. Zheng heard the money, her heart tightened slightly: "How much do you want?"

"1 taels of silver." Mrs. Liu was not afraid of the lion's big mouth.

Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she immediately turned cold: "Your bride price is going to cost 1 taels?"

Mrs. Liu only said harshly: "If you don't give it to me, go to Mrs. Dingnanhou and Princess Duanhui to sue, saying that you cheated on the marriage, and now you want to cheat on King Jing. I'm afraid your son will never come out in his whole life. Now he is carrying the crime of corruption, and if the investigation is stricter, there may be more investigations."

Mrs. Liu was threatening, but Mrs. Zheng dealt with her for a long time, but she didn't lose half a tael of silver. In the end, in order to stabilize her first, she could only agree.

Only then did Mrs. Liu sarcasm again, before turning her head back.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Zheng went to Zheng Ruyi's yard immediately. Seeing her sitting by the bed embroidering her wedding dress, she was so angry that she tore the wedding dress and threw it on the ground: "Give me the 1 taels of silver." Get it together, if you can't get it together, even if you die in this room, don't even think about getting married."

Zheng Ruyi's eyes were slightly red, and she raised her eyes to look at her: "Mother's bones are still cold, grandmother, I am also your granddaughter, why do you make things difficult for me like this? I'm fine, is it not good for the Zheng family?"

Mrs. Zheng felt a little guilty when she heard this, she just bit her lower lip and said: "You have ruined your reputation, how can you treat the Zheng family well? You are also a side concubine when you marry King Jing's mansion. Your father was rescued."

"Of course I will save." Without Zheng Lai, she would be just a shell side concubine in Prince Jing's Mansion.

Mrs. Zheng was in a better mood when she heard this, she just said: "You put together the money earlier, if you don't have it, go borrow it from King Jing, he is a majestic prince, it is impossible to have no money, and then rescue your father , otherwise, you will be expected to get married." After saying that, she turned her head and stepped on her wedding dress and went out.

Zheng Ruyi's eyes were sore and swollen, but she did not let the tears flow down her life.She looked coldly at the direction the old lady was leaving home, with killing intent on her face.If you don't treat me as a human being, I won't let you go.

The second day was sunny, and with the coming of the spring, everyone was in a tense atmosphere. Except for the infiltration tragedy at the gate of King Jing’s mansion, which was still being quietly discussed, most of them were talking about the imperial examination. matter.

When Lin Jinhua got up early, she saw that Mo Xue hadn't come back, so she couldn't help being a little worried, but Cai'er opened the door and came in with a smile. Seeing that she hadn't changed into her clothes, she smiled and presented the brocade box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Ning It was sent by the palace, and the prince will also go to Princess Duanhui's banquet today."

"Really?" Lin Jinhua was a little surprised. He said he would leave in a few days, but she was still worried that she would not see him like this.

Cai'er brought the brocade box with a smile, and said: "Of course, the servant can still lie to you, you should change your clothes first."

Lin Jinhua nodded slightly, and as soon as the brocade box was opened, a long cherry red dress appeared in front of her eyes.

Wide-sleeved, tunic and cross-neck long dress, the neckline is embroidered with plum blossoms with darker red threads, and the skirt is even more embroidered with plum blossom petals scattered, walking, as if plum blossoms are scattered, inside is a set of crescent white The lining and the cuffs of the lining are embroidered with plum blossoms with red thread, which complement each other even more.

Cai'er watched as she rolled back a flying fairy bun, with a golden hairpin inlaid with rubies and Bu Yao, a plum blossom dress on her brows, rouge dyed makeup, fair and slender neck, and a cool and cool demeanor. Like the winter plums blooming on the branches in winter, the beauty is amazing.

Seeing her like this again, Lin Jinhua just raised her hand and tapped her forehead: "You don't have to follow today, stay at the mansion."

"But Miss..."

"You are not allowed to leave the mansion, understand?" The Xu mansion is still safe.

Cai'er was also afraid that she would cause trouble for her, so she nodded obediently.

Xu Zhaozhao and Xu Chengqing had changed their clothes a long time ago and were waiting at the door. When they saw her coming, Xu Zhaozhao's jaw dropped in surprise, while Xu Chengqing narrowed his eyes and nodded in satisfaction; "Zhaozhao, learn from me, Only a younger sister like Jinhua will have face if she takes her out."

Xu Zhaozhao rolled his eyes at him, and quickly ran to Lin Jinhua's side. He smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and asked pleasantly, "What sachet did you bring, it smells so fragrant?"

"I made it myself. I prepared one for you and my cousin." She took out a pink sachet and a gray embroidered white plum sachet from her sleeve and gave them to them respectively.

Xu Chengqing smelled it, and looked at her in surprise: "Is it medicine?"

"Insect repellent smells good too." Lin Jinhua bent her eyes and smiled slightly, the most important thing was to temporarily repel Gu insects.

The two smiled and took it, and then the three went to find Mrs. Xu and boarded the carriage to the Princess Mansion together.

The road to the Princess Mansion is not too far from here, and the carriage stopped in front of the Princess Mansion not long after.

Mrs. Ling specially asked Mrs. Zhu to wait at the gate of the house last time. When she saw Lin Jinhua and the Xu family coming, she greeted them with a smile and said, "Mrs. Xu, Miss Lin, my old lady is waiting for some people in the flower hall. "

Mrs. Xu saw her respect for Lin Jinhua, so she only smiled politely, and was rewarded again, and then followed her in step by step.

While leaving, Lin Jinhua suddenly saw a familiar figure limping in front of him, Zeng Xuehai!

Zeng Xuehai was supported by a beautiful woman, and she immediately recognized Ye Ling whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She had indeed heard from Ruyan that Zeng Xuehai took her as his concubine.

Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, Xu Chengqing noticed that she was wrong, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I saw my old friend." Lin Jinhua's eyes lighted up, and then she went inside.

It didn't take long to see Mrs. Ling, she looked good, and when she saw Lin Jinhua coming, she got up herself.

Mrs. Xu saw it secretly, and pulled a few children to go up to the ceremony together, and then sat down after exchanging greetings.

Seeing Mrs. Ling's eyes full of smiles looking at her, Lin Jinhua knew that the son-in-law's illness should be suppressed.

After talking for a while, I saw a little maid coming outside and said: "Old Furen, the Princess invites you to go out, the stage is ready."

"Okay, go to the theater." The old lady liked Lin Jinhua, and she even had a much better attitude towards Madam Xu, and said to her, "You can also go to the theater with me. Many wives are there, and the children are young. Let them play by themselves. I will let mother Zhu follow the whole process, and nothing will happen."

Mrs. Xu saw that Mrs. Ling was so thoughtful, so she agreed.

Brother and sister Lin Jinhua and Xu Zhaozhao were able to come out and wander freely in this huge princess mansion.

However, the word Encounter Road is narrow is true, before the few people reached the busiest place, Zeng Xuehai came to meet him.

The first time Zeng Xuehai saw Lin Jinhua, he was so amazed that he couldn't move his eyes away. Xu Chengqing naturally stood in front of Lin Jinhua and smiled at him, "This young master has bad eyesight?"

Zeng Xuehai hadn't met Xu Chengqing yet, and seeing her with the Xu family, he also guessed his identity, so he just smiled perfunctorily: "No one in the world has better eyes than me..."

"Oh, that's because I have bad legs and feet. I have to stand in the middle of the road alone. If I don't know, I think it's a crab in the sea. I only know how to walk sideways." Xu Chengqing still smiled gently.

Xu Zhaozhao knew that her brother had a very vicious tongue, and when he heard this, he secretly smiled.

Zeng Xuehai felt a little ashamed in front of the beauty, so he forced a smile and said, "It's because Miss Lin behind you is so beautiful that I was taken aback for a while, and everyone said that a beauty is a disaster. Now it has really come true, and I just saw this peerless beauty." With just one glance, I was insulted by you like this."

"What a troublesome beauty."

When the indifferent male voice came, Zeng Xuehai only felt a chill down his spine, he quickly moved his eyes away from Lin Jinhua and turned his head to salute: "My lord."

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him lightly: "The leg is alright? Are you ready to come out?"

"Thanks to the prince..."

"Thanks to the king, you should have died a long time ago." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking indifferently, she glanced at Lin Jinhua, and seeing that she was also looking at him calmly, with a smile on her phoenix eyes, she said to Xu Chengqing: "Mr. The king is coming." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xu Chengqing was worried that Zeng Xuehai was still here, but Gao Zhi winked at him.

Xu Chengqing had heard that Prince Ning was very protective of Jin Hua, so after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, and followed.

They left, but Gao Tian didn't.

Zeng Xuehai didn't take him seriously. As soon as he left, he turned to Lin Jinhua with a weird smile and said, "I heard that Miss Lin has a very good relationship with Yan'er. I don't know how she is doing now? I really want to see her day and night. She, she is not in the mansion, alas, what a pity."

It was the first time Lin Jinhua wanted to blow his dog's head like this, but it was a pity that Mo Xue was not there.

Just as she was thinking, Gao Gen came over, picked up Zeng Xuehai and threw him into the fish pond on the side.

Zeng Xuehai was completely stunned, and the pool water full of fishy smell choked into his mouth and nose, making him immediately shout: "You are crazy!"

"Didn't Mr. Zeng fall when he hit me with his hands and feet?" After finishing his sarcasm with a cold face, Gao Zhi turned his head to greet Lin Jinhua and Xu Zhaozhao: "Ladies, let's go to the backyard to play, and if anyone dares to treat Miss No disrespect, just ask the subordinate to come down."

Xu Zhaozhao nodded with a smile on his face, and Lin Jinhua also responded with a smile.

When leaving, Lin Jinhua still didn't forget to look at Zeng Xuehai and said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng has heard of the cycle of karma, and retribution is not good?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting. I went to the mountain to chant scriptures a few days ago, and I realized something, so I told Mr. Zeng." Lin Jinhua finished speaking lightly, then turned her head and left.

Zhu's mother also wisely didn't ask anyone to rescue Zeng Xuehai immediately, and only after Lin Jinhua got out of the hanging flower gate did she ask someone to save him.

Lin Jinzheng followed Mama Zhu to the place where the girls gathered. It was called Guanhaiyuan. The so-called sea was because there was a large artificial lake in it, and there were carved beams and painted buildings in it. The landscape was also very beautifully arranged. 'View'.

Unlike usual, Lin Jinhua walked straight to the crowded place, saw Zheng Jiaojiao who was having a pleasant conversation with someone, and walked over with a smile.

When Zheng Jiaojiao saw her coming, she was awkward at the beginning, but now she accepted it, and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, long time no see."

"Is Miss Zheng better?"

"There is no recurrence, but it still hurts when I lose my temper." She sighed.

Lin Jinhua knew that she had a bad temper, so it was natural for her to be in pain.

Lin Jinhua lightly looked at the jealousy she was trying to hide in her eyes, and only smiled slightly.

Naturally, Sun Wanwan also arrived at this kind of banquet. When she saw Lin Jinhua and Xu Zhaozhao from afar, she just felt embarrassed and planned to turn her head and walk away, but she didn't want to bump into the people who came over.

She smelled the fragrance from the tip of her nose, and hurriedly took half a step back to look at the person who came. After learning from the previous lesson, she was quite calm and said, "Which family are you young lady?"

"I belong to the Zheng family." Zheng Ruyi said looking directly at her.

"The Zheng family?" Sun Wanwan was agitated. Could it be the Zheng family, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War? She quickly laughed and said, "I was transferred to the capital with my father. My surname is Sun and my name is Wanwan. You can just call me Wanwan. I don't know Miss Zheng's boudoir." The name is..."

"I heard that the daughter of Sun Shilang's family is beautiful and talented. I heard that the first few princesses and princes are reciprocating poems by the koi pond. I wonder if Miss Sun would like to show her face?" Zheng Ruyi smiled softly, avoiding her own words. name taboo.

Sun Wanwan had longed for the capital. She had only heard of people like princes and princesses before, but had never seen them before. Seeing that she was Miss Zheng's family and she was willing to invite her, she was naturally happy to accept it.

Zheng Ruyi lowered her eyes and turned away; "This way please." After saying that, she went out of Guanhu Garden with her.

Lin Jinhua had noticed Sun Wanwan a long time ago, but she didn't care when she saw her standing by the hanging flower door, as if she was talking to someone behind the hanging flower door.

Just as she was talking, Zheng Jiaojiao said again: "I heard that Zheng Ruyi is going to marry His Royal Highness King Jing soon?"

"That's not it, I don't know what happened to King Jing, even such a broken flower and a broken willow will do." Finally someone couldn't hold back.

Zheng Jiaojiao glanced at her: "After all, it's King Jing. Be careful what you say." After finishing speaking, she looked at Lin Jinhua again. She knew the grievances between Lin Jinhua and Zheng Ruyi. She rolled her eyes and said, "Miss Lin, I heard that your concubine sister died at the gate of King Jing's mansion yesterday? She is King Jing's side concubine, how could she be killed so easily?"

Lin Jinhua knew that she was trying to make a fool of herself, so it was best to identify Zheng Ruyi as the mastermind behind the scenes, but Lin Xiyu, who was also a side concubine, died on the same day that it was reported that she was going to marry into King Jing's mansion, so she was indeed the most suspicious.

Lin Jinyu shook her head lightly, and only sighed slightly: "I only heard about what happened yesterday. I think it was because Mrs. Ye was jealous, so I stared at it. Unfortunately, if Mrs. Ye was not released from the prison, she would Nothing like that will happen.”

"How did Ye Shi be released?" Zheng Jiaojiao seemed to have found a breakthrough, and stared at Lin Jinhua carefully, not wanting to miss the expression on her face.

Lin Jinhua only shook her head slightly: "I didn't go to the government to ask..."

When the other ladies heard this, the bolder ones started talking quietly, urging them to go to the government to investigate. After all, Zheng Ruyi is a wimpy woman, and she was going to marry a fool to show everyone a joke, but she turned around and was about to become a The noble King Jing has become a side concubine, who can balance in his heart?
Xu Zhaozhao did not understand the meaning of Lin Jinhua's words, so he leaned closer and said softly, "Sister Jinhua, let's go elsewhere." She really didn't like the chattering faces of these young ladies.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Lin Jinhua naturally didn't want to stay any longer, but it was indeed in Zheng Ruyi's name that she asked people to redeem Ye's family.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.

The two left without going anywhere else. Up from the huge lake, there happened to be a dense hill with a gazebo on it, which happened to be quiet and able to see the situation below.

The two went up and sat down, and soon a servant girl came to serve tea.

The breeze is coming, and the little sunshine just comes in. Standing under the gazebo, you can see the entire crescent-shaped lake. The breeze wrinkles the lake water, which is very pleasant.

Not long after the two sat down, they heard a burst of laughter again.

"Is what you said true?"

"That could be false. If Wang Huiyuan didn't want to send Wang Ruyan to my husband's bed, how could my husband marry her?"

The tone of the woman who spoke was very light and contemptuous.

Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, and turned her head to look, who else could it be if it wasn't Ye Ling who married Zeng Xuehai?

Ye Ling was still walking on the steps, because there were many dense trees beside the pavilion, but she didn't notice Lin Jinhua, so she just continued with the people next to her: "Don't look at how pure and pure Wang Ruyan is, I heard from my husband that she was so beautiful that night. There are so many styles, and I don’t know what a shameless and dissolute woman she is in private.”

Xu Zhaozhao felt a little uncomfortable hearing this. She knew that Lin Jinhua and Wang Ruyan were close, so she purposely said loudly to Lin Jinhua, "Sister Jinhua, sparrows are flying here from nowhere, chirping and making noise."

When Ye Ling heard this, she immediately stopped in her tracks, and then glared at the maid who was following her. The maid hurriedly ran to the side of the gazebo, and seeing that it was really Lin Jinhua, she saluted, "My servant has seen Miss Lin."

"You don't have to salute me." Lin Jinhua glanced at her indifferently, and then walked out of the pavilion, and saw Ye Ling, a beautiful young woman in a peach-red gown covered in makeup.

Ye Ling has become plumper and more charming, the spring emotion in the corners of her eyes and brows is like peach blossoms in full bloom in May, and her watery eyes are becoming more and more attractive, she must be loved by Zeng Xuehai, otherwise, a concubine, how dare she come to the banquet in the princess mansion ?
When Ye Ling saw her, her first glance was jealousy, and then it turned into joy and amiability in an instant. She stepped forward and said with a smile: "Jinhua, you are here too. I haven't seen you for a long time. You really look better."

"When I came, Mr. Zeng was thrown into the pool. Why didn't Auntie Ye go to serve her, instead she was here to enjoy the flowers." Lin Jinhua said lightly.

"What? Who threw it?" Ye Ling didn't know about it, it was rare to come to such a place, and she only wanted to make more noble people.

"Prince Ning threw it away." Xu Zhaozhao also came over, looked at the young lady who was following her, and said, "By the way, your aunt and Lin Zisu just passed away yesterday, have you ever gone home to see it?"

"I..." Ye Ling's face was a little hot, but he just forced a smile and drooped his eyes, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes: "I want to go too, but now I'm married into the Zeng family, which is the Zeng family. , Auntie and Zisu are the ones who made mistakes, how can I go back and visit them?"

Xu Zhaozhao frowned, not knowing how to refute.

Lin Jinhua only glanced at the evasive lady in yellow beside her, wasn't that the lady from the Hanlin family who had been following Zheng Jiaojiao before.

She said indifferently: "Since Aunt Ye has married into the Zeng family, naturally the Zeng family should be the main one."

Ye Ling smiled, she didn't want to talk to her anymore, she just said: "It's getting late, I'm going to find my husband first." After saying that, she hurried away after seeing the ceremony.

Lin Jinhua didn't want to keep them either. Watching them go down the mountain, she sighed slightly in her heart, and said to Xu Zhaozhao: "The banquet is about to start, let's go down too."

"Well, but this Zeng family is really disgusting. They have done those dirty things, and now they are still proud to say it." Xu Zhaozhao felt a little bit annoyed on Wang Ruyan's behalf.

"He will suffer retribution in the cycle of karma. But you can't say this again in the future." The Xu family is still considered a clean place, so you can't provoke this trouble.And if Ru Yan is really married, she can't cause trouble for her because she fell out with Ye Ling and Zeng Xuehai.

Xu Zhaozhao naturally understood, nodded and said no more.

The two went down the mountain, and the banquet began not long after, there were quite a few people here, except for the Ninth Prince and Zhao Huaiyan who left the capital, the other princes and princes all arrived.

Princess Duanhui and her son-in-law were sitting at the top, both with joyful expressions on their faces, and the royal family naturally sat together at the top, full of joy.

Mrs. Xu saw them coming, and she also came, with a bit of haste in her steps.She looked at the two of them with deep eyes and said, "You guys go back first."

"Mother, what's the matter?" Xu Zhaozhao was watching lively.

Mrs. Xu held Lin Jinhua's hand before asking in a low voice, "Did you see a doctor for Mrs. Luo before?"

Lin Jinhua nodded: "Yes, she should be in good health now."

"No, Mrs. Luo didn't look right when she saw me this time. I asked Mrs. Ling to ask. It turned out that Mrs. Luo had developed a serious illness for some reason. An imperial doctor said that it was because of taking the medicine you prescribed, and now she is dying. , I don’t know if I can be saved.” Mrs. Xu’s expression was a little serious, but she was still calm: “This matter has not yet spread, and the Luo family is not sure that it is you, but today I am worried that someone will make trouble. After all, you I saw a doctor for the son-in-law."

Xu Zhaozhao was also anxious: "What should we do, why don't we go back to find Dad first?"

"That's what I mean too. Go and ask Shang Qing'er to go back to the mansion together. I will mention it to Mrs. Ling later, and then I will go back." Mrs. Xu said.

Lin Jinhua knew the seriousness of the matter, but Mrs. Luo's illness was probably caused by someone else.

She paused, and then said: "Who is the imperial doctor who is treating Mrs. Luo?"

"I don't know, it seems that there are two imperial doctors." Mrs. Xu said.

Lin Jinyu nodded slightly, and found out who ordered the two imperial physicians, and then she could know who ordered it.

She didn't stay any longer, and quietly withdrew with Xu Zhaozhao.

Ye Ling saw the three of them talking with serious expressions from behind, so she paid attention, and when Lin Jinhua and the others left, she hurriedly said to Zeng Xuehai who had just changed her clothes, "Husband, I'm afraid something happened to Lin Jinhua. "

"Now that King Ning is here, what can happen to her?" Zeng Xuehai was still afraid of King Ning, even if he was angry, he could only hold back and dare not act rashly.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Ye Ling didn't dare to say any more, and suppressed all the doubts in her heart.

When Lin Jinhua and Xu Zhaozhao were going out, they happened to meet Zhao Kan coming from the corner. Seeing her, she just stood there and looked at her playfully: "Miss Lin."

"The courtier has met His Royal Highness King Jing." Lin Jinhua saluted with lowered eyes.

Xu Zhaozhao saw Sun Wanwan following behind him, and asked strangely, "Miss Sun is here too?"

Sun Wanwan's blushing faded, seeing that she was not as flattering as before, she just smiled perfunctorily: "It happened to be on the same journey with Miss Zheng."

Zhao Kan only looked at Lin Jinzheng's drooping eyes, his skin was like creamy skin, his face was like a peach blossom, she was truly a stunning beauty, it's just a pity...

"Miss Lin is in such a hurry, where is she going? Now the banquet is about to begin." Zhao Kan deliberately stood in front of her.

Lin Jinhua felt that the jade butterfly attached to her wrist started to heat up again, so she raised her eyes to look at him, could it be that he has Gu worms on him?He just said: "The minister's daughter has urgent matters at home, I'm afraid I have to leave first, since the banquet is about to start, please go ahead, my lord."

Zhao Kan smiled coldly: "I heard that General Lin was in danger during his trip to the southwest, and his whereabouts are unknown now. You should really be anxious."

"What?" Lin Jinhua clenched her fists, brother in danger?

"Don't you know yet? The emperor has already ordered that General Zheng Lai and Zheng will personally lead the troops this afternoon and there will be no rescue. It's a pity that there are bandits infested in the remote places in the southwest. I don't know if General Lin has the possibility of surviving. After Zhao Kan said, seeing her shocked and unwilling expression, he leaned over to her ear and whispered, "If you come to beg me, maybe I can help you save him, even if you leave a whole body, yes no?"

"Brother and auspicious people have their own talents, so don't waste King Jing's time. The courtiers heard that the concubine sister died tragically at the gate of King Jing's mansion yesterday, and Ye's head was chopped off by the people of King Jing's mansion. You should think about how to make people think that you, my lord, have the ability to save people." After finishing speaking, he led Xu Zhaozhao straight past him and left.

After Zhao Kan heard this, he was startled, and then looked at her back and laughed loudly: "Lin Jinhua, I didn't expect you to be so calm. Then I will see how long you can stay calm. What I just said is effective at any time!"

Lin Jinhua didn't stop to look at him again, Zheng Ruyi looked at Zhao Kan's predatory eyes from one side, gritted her teeth secretly, and just stepped forward and said, "My lord, it's getting late, it's time to go in."

Zhao Kan glanced at her, didn't look any further, and turned his head away.

Zheng Ruyi knew that Zhao Kan was very interested in Lin Jinhua now, and what she didn't get would always be the best. It's a pity that she didn't understand this until now.She watched Zhao Kan leave without looking back, and slowly clenched her fists.

Lin Jinhua quickly arrived at the front yard, but the front yard was huge, and the servants didn't know where Zhao Huaiyan had gone, even Xu Chengqing was gone.

She became a little anxious, and searched around the front yard. She didn't see anyone, and she was about to leave the mansion immediately, but when she stepped out of the mansion, Xu Chengqing had already greeted her: "Jinhua, Zhaozhao, what are you doing?" Out?"

Xu Zhaozhao said anxiously: "King Jing said something happened to Cousin Jincheng..."

"He actually told you." Xu Chengqing immediately lost his opinion of Zhao Kan. Seeing that Lin Jinhua, who had always been calm, looked anxious, he said, "Don't worry, His Highness Ning Wang received the notification and immediately went to arrange it, but he will arrange it tomorrow. I’m about to leave Beijing, so I’ve given everything to me, and I’ll go find my uncle in a while and ask him to go to the southwest.”

Lin Jinhua also meant the same thing: "The southwest is dangerous, please tell father to be careful."

"Uncle is a seasoned general after all, His Royal Highness King Ning is assured of him, so don't worry, and this time uncle took this opportunity to go out of the city, His Royal Highness Ning has other arrangements." Xu Chengqing thought of Zhao Huaiyan's plan, Then I felt that this person's city is really deep, but he is also very smart, even I, who has always claimed to be the smartest, admired him very much.

Lin Jinhua was relieved after hearing this.

"Then let's go back to the Xu Mansion first." Mrs. Luo's matter still needs to be dealt with, and she wants to see who is behind the scenes.

Xu Chengqing nodded: "I'll take you back."

Lin Jinhua agreed.

They quickly returned to the Xu Mansion, and Mo Xue, who went out with Yang's mother yesterday, also came back, and was also injured, with a long bloodstain on his left shoulder, and he was very weak.

In the flower hall, Mo Feng followed her and bandaged her wound briefly. Seeing Lin Jinhua's return, he stepped forward to greet her.

"What's going on?" Lin Jinhua quickly asked someone to bring the best wound medicine, and Mo Xue looked at her concerned expression, and said with a slight smile, "I'm fine, I'm too busy, but I found out that Zhu Wucai was indeed bought by someone, isn't that person The others are His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"The fourth prince? The fourth prince who gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor?" Lin Jinhua asked coldly. In his previous life, he was just Zhao Kan's vassal. He was weak and incompetent, and he didn't have much intelligence. It shouldn't be him.

"It's him, but he's very strange. The questions he asked Zhu Wucai and Mother Yang were all about Miss and His Highness Ning Wang." Mo Xue said softly.

Lin Jinhua was also a little hesitant. It was indeed wrong. The fourth prince was really mediocre. He hadn't made any fuss in his previous life. How could he suddenly become wise in this life?Unless someone is manipulating it.And the person behind him doesn't care about his secrets, but cares about his affairs with Zhao Huaiyan. Could it be that the person is mainly here for Zhao Huaiyan?
"Did Zhu Wucai deal with Yang's mother?" Lin Jinhua asked.

Mo Xue nodded, but her expression was strange; "Before the servant did anything, the fourth prince killed him first, but he found the servant hiding in the dark, so he chased him all the way. But don't worry, the servant did not reveal his identity, and will kill him all the way. After being dumped, I met Mo Feng and came back."

Lin Jinhua nodded slightly, seeing that she was too weak to hold on any longer, she said, "You rest first, and I will take care of the rest."

"Yes." Mo Xue responded, and then someone helped her down.

Lin Jinyu thought about it, but couldn't figure out who was behind it. Could it be that he was the same person who designed Mrs. Luo?

She fell into deep thought, but the sky outside was slowly getting dark.

After Mrs. Xu came back, she immediately told Xu Boshan about the matter, and Xu Boshan went out before he had time for dinner, and didn't come back until midnight.

In the room, Mrs. Xu stayed up all the time. Seeing him coming back, she stepped forward to take off his cloak and asked, "Did you find out?"

"Well, it's Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zhang in the palace, they are both frequently used by the Empress." Xu Boshan said.

"Could it be the Empress..."

"I don't know." Xu Boshan interrupted her and sighed slightly: "The Luo family has some friendship with these two imperial physicians, so it is normal to invite them over when Mrs. Luo is ill, but I just heard that Mrs. Luo It seems that the person fell ill suddenly, and is still in a coma."

"What's going to happen to Jinhua?" Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red when she thought of Lin Jinhua: "This child is pitiful. He lost his mother and was tricked by his closest relatives many times. This is how he lives a good life. How can he be abused again?" People are thinking about it."

"The forces in the imperial court are inherently complicated. Jinhua is not only Lin Luzhi's daughter, but also the future Princess Ning, so she will naturally be pushed to the forefront." Seeing her distressed appearance, Xu Boshan sighed and stepped forward to comfort her He patted her on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I will enter the palace tomorrow to see the emperor, and let him send other imperial doctors to see if there is really a problem with the medicine prescribed by Jinhua. Clearly, as long as we find that prescription, it will also prove our Jinhua's innocence."

"That's good." Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The story of Lin Jincheng hasn't spread, so they don't know about it yet.

At night, Mo Feng passed the news of Xu Boshan's inquiries to Lin Jinhua, and Lin Jinhua hesitated, who could it be?Queen?It's not considered a conflict of interest between me and her, wouldn't she choose to do such a thing suddenly when Huaiyan left Beijing?But it doesn't look like a concubine, after all, the Luo family is not an ordinary family, not to mention that the two imperial physicians that the queen often uses are not vegetarians either.

The two of them were thinking about it when a muffled groan came from outside the yard. Lin Jinhua remembered Cai'er who was about to go out to get hot soup just now, so she hurriedly opened the door and ran out, but there was no sign of Cai'er in the dark night.

Just when he was wondering, a burst of flames suddenly appeared in the East Garden of the Xu Family, and there was a lot of noise.

Lin Jinhua paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, looked at Mo Feng and said, "Our yard will burn the West Wing right away."

Seeing that she was serious about what she said, Mo Feng knew that it was not too late, so he did not think too much, and immediately followed her instructions, while Lin Jinhua immediately woke up the servants in the yard, and did not step out of the room alone , if you guessed right, the Xu family's fire today was the first step in the chain plan of the person behind the scenes, and the muffled snort just now was the second step in leading her into the urn.

But since someone wants to catch a turtle in the jar, she can also use the jar to catch someone!
