Chapter 71
Zeng Xuehai thought it was strange to see Lin Jinhua not coming back after going out with Mrs. Dingnanhou. Not long after, he saw the pretty maid beside Mrs. Dingnanhou came to invite Dingnanhou.
"Master Hou, Madam said she has something to ask for you, so please go." The maid's voice was delicate and soft, which Dingnanhou liked the most.Hearing this, he just smiled at her and said, "Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know, Madam knows that you will ask, let the servant tell you, you will know when you go." The maid smiled shyly.
Marquis Dingnan took a look, and only looked at Zeng Xuehai, and said: "You also go back and clean up, tomorrow I will go to ask the emperor for a marriage."
Zeng Xuehai hurriedly saluted: "Then thank you very much, Uncle."
Only then did Dingnanhou turn around and leave, his eyes falling on the delicate maid next to him from time to time.
Seeing the man leave, Zeng Xuehai straightened his back, thinking that he would soon marry Wang Ruyan, he felt a little contemptuous: "My Zeng family is also considered to be a well-known family, but she still misses other men. And fled to Puji Temple, hum, let me see how long she can hide from me." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the young man next to him: "Go, call Wang Huiyuan out, I should also ask him to discuss with his father, don't make trouble The face of the two families is not good, in the future the Zeng and Wang families will join forces, and there will be a Luofu, which is the official secretary, and it will be invincible."
The boy hurriedly responded and went out.
When Zeng Xuehai thought of being able to stand up immediately, his mood more than doubled, so he didn't care that Lin Jinhua didn't take him seriously just now.
After leaving the mansion, he saw his carriage. He was very careful now, and he had to check it inside and out four or five times before he dared to sit in it, and went straight to the best restaurant in the capital.
The unremarkable beggar on the street saw the carriage go away, so he slowly raised his head, pulled his broken hat, turned his head and walked in another direction with the broken bowl.
Lin Jinhua came out from Dingnanhou's mansion, and after ordering the little beggar Peanut, she went back to Xu's mansion first, thinking that she arranged for her father to go out of the city yesterday, and news of her brother should have come back today.
When she returned to Xu's residence, Madam Xu's eyes turned slightly red when she saw her.
Lin Jinyu raised her heart slightly, walked up to her a few steps, and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
"Jinhua, I told you, don't worry." Madam Xu hesitated.
Lin Jinhua's heart began to beat. Knowing that the story of her brother's distress probably spread, she nodded seriously, and then Madam Xu took her hand and said, "Jincheng was ambushed on the way to the southwest, and his whereabouts are unknown now." Yes, the emperor even sent Zheng Lai to look for it yesterday." She knew about the Zheng family's grievances with the Lin family in private, not to mention that Zheng Lai deliberately designed Lin Jincheng to be captured by the enemy and almost died when he was on the battlefield.
Lin Jinhua knew the news yesterday, so she wasn't too shocked, she just asked, "How about brother?"
Mrs. Xu didn't notice her strange look, but shook her head sadly: "There is no other news, but don't worry, your uncle has already entrusted someone to rescue him, Jin Chengfu has a great life, and nothing will happen. "
"Trouble uncle." Lin Jinhua didn't dare to tell her too much, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to her, but the emperor clearly knew what Zheng Lai had done, and also knew that he was involved in a corruption case. He went to the rescue?Do you want to use Zheng Lai's hand to get rid of your brother, or do you want to use your brother's hand to get rid of Zheng Lai...
Lin Jinhua was also confused for a moment, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, especially this emperor is not only extremely smart, but also very cunning.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Mrs. Xu only patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely think of a way with your uncle."
Lin Jinhua remembered that Mrs. Ling had mentioned that her brother, Ling Mo, who is now serving as the Southwest Commander, could help her brother, so could he ask him for help?
"Auntie, it's not convenient for Jinhua to go to the Princess Mansion for the time being. Can I bother you to come? Mrs. Ling has a brother who is serving as the Southwest Commander. This time, Princess Yuan is going to the Southwest by the emperor's order. If he is willing, he will definitely help his brother. "Lin Jinhua doesn't plan to go by herself, and there are still people staring at her now, so she can't show all her hole cards to that person.
Mrs. Xu nodded, thought for a while, and said: "I will stop by the Pingxi Palace. Princess Yuan is from the Pingxi Palace, and they will think of a way."
"En." Lin Jinhua nodded gratefully, and Madam Xu hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage and left.
She returned to her own yard from the front yard, and Mo Feng was already waiting, and said about what she followed last night: "These people seem to have come prepared, but they didn't intend to hurt Miss."
"That person just wants to warn me, and it has something to do with King Ning." She took the tea from the maid and sent everyone out.
"Do you want to tell the prince about this?"
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded. This matter was related to him, so I wanted to tell him.
She felt a bit of a headache, and she didn't know if it was because of the wind or because she had been thinking about these things.Sitting down on the edge of the warm couch, I slowly said: "I am mainly thinking about the purpose of the emperor sending Zheng Lai to rescue him. Only when we have guessed the emperor's thoughts can we proceed to the next step."
"Why don't you ask the prince, he knows the emperor best." Mo Feng suggested.
Lin Jinhua looked at her and smiled helplessly: "Then you should write to him and ask him."
Mo Feng responded quickly, seeing that her complexion was not very good, he asked with concern: "Miss is not healthy?"
"Perhaps the wind blows during the day, you go down and make arrangements first, you have to enter the palace tomorrow, so you can't delay." Lin Jinhua rubbed her brows, only thinking about tomorrow's affairs, after entering the palace tomorrow and dealing with Ru Yan's affairs, It should be possible to test the Queen's tone.
After thinking this way, he leaned against the warm couch and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Mo Feng told Mo Xue to be careful, and then walked out quickly.
At this time in the capital.
Zeng Xuehai met Wang Huiyuan as promised, and then led him to the private room.
Seeing his haggard appearance, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Wang, why are you so haggard, don't you regret it?"
"Of course you won't regret it. You married Ru Yan as promised, just treat her well." Wang Huiyuan just hated Lin Jinhua for killing Lin Zisu, and he has no evidence to identify her yet.Thinking of Lin Zisu's last sentence "I hate you" that day, his heart felt like a knife.
Zeng Xuehai snorted softly: "Of course I will marry him. Tomorrow my uncle will enter the palace to ask the emperor to marry him. But now Ruyan is still thinking about other men and refuses to even go back to the capital. If I marry her, Don't you want to endure her treating me like this in the future?"
Wang Huiyuan frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean? Ru Yan is a good girl, if she marries you, she will definitely be a good wife."
"Of course I know, but she seems to resist me too much, I want to see her alone again..."
"Zeng Xuehai, don't push yourself too hard!" Wang Huiyuan became annoyed, he sent Ru Yan to his bed just because Ru Yan could agree to get married, but he didn't want to ruin her reputation again and again.
Seeing that he shouldn't, Zeng Xuehai only dimmed his eyes, and hurriedly laughed: "I'm just joking, why is Brother Wang so angry? You and I are bosom brothers, you don't understand me yet, don't worry, just look at In terms of your face, I will definitely treat Ru Yan well, not to mention that I like her so much, don't I?"
Wang Huiyuan turned his face away coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Is there anything else you asked me to do?"
"Yes, I heard that the emperor recently sent Zheng Lai to rescue Lin Jincheng who was in trouble?" Zeng Xuehai asked with a murderous look.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing. It's just that Lin Jincheng wanted to rob me of my beloved woman, and the Zheng family made me lose this leg and become crippled..." He remembered the pain of that day when the horse flew up and stepped on his knee and what happened afterwards. The badge of the Zheng family found at the scene, even if there is no sufficient evidence that it is the Zheng family, it is probably not wrong. Zheng Lai had a quarrel with the Zeng family in the early years. .
Wang Huiyuan turned to look at him: "You want to kill them together?"
"That's not the case. As long as something happens to Zheng Lai, he won't be able to lead people to rescue Lin Jincheng. Maybe Lin Jincheng will be killed by those bandits. Do you understand what I mean? I heard that the corruption case on him has not been investigated yet. It is clear, Wang Yushi has always been upright, so he should read a book." Zeng Xuehai's calculations were ringing, and he could count on Zheng and Lin's family without him doing it himself. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone and achieve the best of both worlds?
Wang Huiyuan gritted his teeth slightly, he didn't want Lin Jincheng to come back alive, he had better die outside.
"This matter..." He hesitated a little, if it was Lin Jincheng again, would Ru Yan really hate him?
Zeng Xuehai seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are Ru Yan's real brother after all, can she hate you for an outsider? You have more than ten years of brother-sister friendship, and she is well-educated, so she won't understand of."
Wang Huiyuan was determined to take revenge, and when he heard the bewitching words, he also nodded: "I'll go back first."
"Okay, I'll just wait for your good news." Zeng Xuehai watched him leave with a smile before going downstairs.
Before getting into the carriage, he checked it carefully again to make sure that there was no problem with the carriage, so he sat on it.
Peanut behind the big stone lion in the inn looked at the iron nails that had just been driven into the horse's hoof, smiled slightly, and followed the carriage to catch up.
Zeng Xuehai is happy today, and the carriage runs fast.Returning to Zeng Mansion from here, we had to cross a stone bridge on the moat, and the carriage ran up smoothly, but when the horse stepped on the bridge paved with cobblestones, the iron nails that had been driven into the horse's hoof penetrated into the flesh all at once. In pain, it started running around.
As soon as Zeng Xuehai heard the movement, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly lifted the curtain to look, and seeing the horse went crazy, he jumped under the carriage without saying a word.
He successfully rolled a few times on the ground and stopped safely. He smiled triumphantly, but he didn't notice that the place where he rolled was right next to the kitchen of the tavern next door. On the second floor, someone had already boiled a large vat of boiling water. When he was alone downstairs, he poured the boiling water down. He couldn't dodge it, and then he heard a horrific scream.
When Peanut arrived, there were already many people watching, while Zeng Xuehai had already passed out from the heat, his whole body was red, as if his skin had been scalded.
The servant of Zeng's mansion was more stunned this time than when he was kicked by a horse this time, because this time Zeng Xuehai might not be able to see anyone for the rest of his life.
Zeng Xuehai's personal servant wanted to trouble the owner of the tavern without saying anything, but anyone who inquired a little would know that the tavern was owned by King Jing.
Peanut saw two gorgeously dressed young men coming out of the main entrance as if nothing had happened, winked at them, and they nodded slightly, and then Peanut smiled with satisfaction. Water, even if King Jing wanted to investigate it at that time, he would never find it on the beggar who seemed to be hungry.
After Peanut called the two to leave, he looked at the unconscious Zeng Xuehai, hurriedly pulled off his tattered cloth cap, begged for a round of money, and then went to Xu's mansion pretending to be normal.
Lin Jinhua was resting on the warm couch here, until she felt the warm breath on her face, then she suddenly opened her eyes and met the person in front of her.
"It's you!"
She never thought that it was him who rescued him in Puji Temple, and later witnessed him killing Zhizhou's son in Yuzhou. She never thought that he would dare to come to Xu's mansion openly.
He Lianjing didn't expect that she was actually falling asleep, so she couldn't help but hugged her chest and smiled evilly: "I thought you were really asleep. After all, the medicine I gave you is colorless and tasteless."
"I'm a doctor, so why don't I know my body? The sudden sleepiness, what else can I do besides being drugged?" Lin Jinhua wanted to get up, but her body was still a little soft, and she didn't see Mo Xue: "What did you do to Mo Xue?"
"Let her sleep for a while, after all, she is Zhao Huaiyan's person, and she is also a beauty, how can I be willing to kill you?" He glanced at Lin Jinhua's hand, there was warm tea, and poured himself a cup, the mouth was actually light The scent of flowers is accompanied by a sweet but not greasy taste, a little surprised: "What kind of tea is this?"
"Jasmine honey tea." Lin Jinhua responded calmly, but slowly squeezed the beeswax pills sealed with drugs that she had prepared earlier in the morning.
He Lianjing drank the tea in satisfaction, and then looked at her with a smile: "You are really different, whether you are cruel or ingenious, but Lin Jinhua, you can't beat that person. In other words, they are ants. Do ants know? They are ants that can be crushed to death at any time."
"Who is she? Who are you?" Lin Jinhua asked looking straight at him.
"I'm not here to tell you who she is, but if I don't want to change my name or surname, you can call me Helianjing. For the sake of saving me, I'm here to tell you that as long as You agree to come with me now, maybe I can save your life." He Lianjing looked at her with a smile, her brows and eyes were slightly cold, but she was very beautiful, and it would be good to take it back for viewing.
"Is she your master?" Lin Jinhua guessed and asked him.
He Lianjing raised her eyebrows slightly: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "If yes, wouldn't you have betrayed her by coming to find me now? If not, you must have other purposes for taking me away. Is it about the prince? I remember you said, you This time I came to the capital to ask him for something back."
He Lianjing looked at her with more interest, leaned closer to meet her eyes, but said with murderous intent: "The more you know, the faster you will die."
"You think I'm afraid of death?"
"But you are afraid of other people's death. Your family, your friends, even your family... Lin Jinhua, you have too many weaknesses." He Lianjing shook her head regretfully: "If it weren't for that, you would be a daughter , can also make a career.”
"What I want is never a career, Mr. Helian, I have someone check the piece of topaz you gave me before, it is the adornment of the acting pavilion master of Yunshuijian, you are the acting pavilion master, so what about the real pavilion master?" , is the 'her' you mentioned just now?"
"Try to trick me?" The corners of He Lianjing's mouth twitched evilly: "Lin Jinhua, you are still a little tender. If you don't come with me, then you will know how weak you are until you die."
Lin Jinhua slightly clenched her hands in her sleeves, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "I think the emperor would not want the power in the cloud to engulf the power of the court. It's not certain who will live and who will die."
Hearing this, He Lianjing looked at her more appreciatively: "Are you not timid? Lin Jinhua, I really doubt what you, a boudoir lady, have experienced."
Lin Jinhua was not afraid to investigate, and he would definitely not be able to find out anything about his previous life.
Just as she was thinking, He Lianjing saw the beeswax pill in her palm, she paused, but she didn't feel dizzy.
Seeing that he found out, Lin Jinhua didn't hide it any more, she just smiled and said, "Your master has sent someone here a long time ago. Since you are so skilled in martial arts, why would I entertain you with drugs? This is Shixiangruanjinsan. There is one tael of silver in a bag, and a bag is only ten, and I will give you all." After finishing speaking, he said loudly, "Come here!"
"Lin Jinhua, you..." He Lianjing pointed at her with wide-eyed eyes as before, "I'm kind enough to help you!"
"Then we're even." Lin Jinhua said indifferently. The sound of footsteps outside was approaching. He Lianjing had no choice but to quickly climb out of the window in embarrassment. When she left, she still stared at Lin Jinhua and said, "I told you , you can’t beat the man behind, I advise you to stay away from Zhao Huaiyan, otherwise, if you die, I will have to peel off your beauty skin to paint.”
"Then you also be careful that if you die that day, I will feed it to the dog!"
He Lianjing's face froze, seeing her indifference, she curled her lips: "You're ruthless!" After saying that, she turned her head and left.
As soon as he left, the maids outside hurried in and saw her leaning against the warm couch helplessly, they hurried forward and said, "Miss, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, go and wake up Mo Xue." She looked at the used up beeswax pills in her hand, and she admired her ability to make up nonsense. How could she have time to buy Shixiangruanjingsan, which is just more powerful than drugs It's just the medicine ordered, but He Lianjing didn't suspect it, and didn't have the luck to check it out.
Not long after, news came that Peanut asked to see him, and Lin Jinhua had someone recruit him in. Seeing his immature face and talking to him about Zeng Xuehai in a mess, he nodded slightly and said, "Will you Hidden well, don't be caught by the tail."
"Miss, don't worry, I asked them to change into the fancy clothes I stole from the Zheng family, and if they want to check, they will be found on the Zheng family." Peanut said with a smile.
Seeing that he was smart, Lin Jinhua recalled what Helian Jing said just now, frowned, and said, "Go to the silk and satin shop tonight, and get 1000 taels of silver from shopkeeper Zhang, and bring it to me in three days." Lin Jinhua took out her waist Give him the card.
Peanut was dumbfounded after hearing this. 1000 taels, he has never seen such white silver, let alone 1000 taels!
He became a little dazed, looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Miss, I don't dare to take the peanuts for fear of not keeping them well."
"You can use some, and give me the rest in three days. I believe you." She lied. Peanut is too small, but she is very clever, and her background is simpler, so she can be cultivated. 1000 taels was indeed a lot for him who had been begging since childhood, so she wanted to see if he would be the next Zhu Wucai.
Peanut looked at Lin Jinhua's bright eyes, gritted his teeth, and nodded firmly, "I will live up to Miss's trust!"
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly, and then sent him out.
Mo Xue is almost awake now, and Lin Jinhua asked her to go to Mo Yue immediately to find out more about Shui Yunjian and He Lianjing. Now that she has some clues about the person behind the scenes, she wants to find out about 'her' as soon as possible. identity is.
When it was getting late, Xu Boshan came back with Mrs. Xu, and the two went to the study to talk for a long time before deciding to hide it from Lin Jinhua and let Xu Chengqing tell her that everything went well.
Seeing that Xu Zhaozhao hadn't come, Lin Jinhua knew that things were not that simple. Zhaozhao was simple and could get it right out of the box, but Xu Chengqing was much more stable.
Seeing that she was silent, Xu Chengqing knew that she didn't believe her, so he could only say, "Jinhua, the prince is still here, and my uncle is gone too. Jincheng will be fine."
"Well, I believe in the lord." Lin Jinhua knew that Zhao Huaiyan would definitely do her best, so she just looked at Xu Chengqing and said with a smile: "It's already the tenth day of March, and it will be Chunwei in a few days. Is my cousin ready?"
Xu Chengqing smiled slightly: "You still have time to worry about me."
Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "My cousin is also an elder brother, so Jinhua shouldn't favor one person over another."
"I have to tell Zhaozhao that, she doesn't care about my real brother." Xu Chengqing pretended to be serious, and the two looked at each other, and both laughed.
The Xu Mansion has settled down for the time being, but there is always an undercurrent hidden in the capital.
When Zheng Ruyi heard about Zeng Xuehai during the day, she knew that she probably had something to do with Lin Jinhua.Now whenever strange things happen in the capital, she also habitually puts on Lin Jinhua, feeling that she manipulated all of this.
The carriage swayed for a while, and finally stopped. The maid outside said: "Miss, we're here."
"En." Zheng Ruyi responded slightly, and opened the curtain to see that there was a pitch-black forest all around, with only a faint fluorescent light falling in the forest, making it difficult for people to see the people in the forest clearly.
The man in the forest put on a mask, looked at her, and said in a low voice, "Have you brought the money?"
"Of course I brought it." Zheng Ruyi tightly held a stack of banknotes aside: "Yunshuijian has always been reliable in doing things. I want to know how many days I can do good things after I give you the money."
"Let's see what you want to do. Although Yunshuijian is a Jianghu organization, it has its own rules, that is, it will never intervene in court disputes, let alone the battle for the throne between the princes." The masked man said in a low voice, The voice didn't seem to have any emotional ups and downs, like a machine for sending messages.
Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth slightly: "Of course I know the rules. What I want you to do this time is nothing more than a piece of cake for you." After speaking, he threw out the banknote in his hand, and the man was like a ghost Generally, the bank note is caught quickly, and then returned to the position just now.
"5000 taels..." The man glanced at the bank note lightly: "It's not enough to buy a life."
"How much is that?"
"Looking at people, it's [-] yuan for ordinary people. For the most influential people in the capital, the starting price is [-] yuan, and the royal family will not be killed." The masked man said indifferently.
Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth, where did she get so much money, the old lady forced her to give the 5000 taels to Madam Liu of Qianhu.
She said coldly: "I don't take lives, but I want Zheng Jiaojiao from the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, and I want to appear at the gate of Liu's Mansion tonight."
"Yes." After the masked man finished speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Ruyi saw that the 5000 taels were gone, and her fingernails were firmly pinched into the palm of her hand.If she hadn't been unable to deceive Zheng Jiaojiao, she would not have used such a trick.
Seeing that the person had left, the maid asked her timidly, "Miss, where are we going?"
"Go to Liu's Mansion." Her eyes dimmed, and she was driven away by the carriage.But when she thought of the Gu mother in her stomach, another wave of nausea hit her, and she almost vomited it out.Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she kept her eyes closed to endure the nausea, and only kept thinking of the two names that made her unforgettable: "Zhao Kan, Lin Jinhua..."
As soon as she left, another figure appeared in the woods just now.
The masked man looked directly at him and said respectfully, "Pavilion Master, what should I do?"
"You have to do things after you get the money, and do what you want, but we don't mess with the royal family, so you must remember clearly." He Lianjing said coldly.
The man nodded immediately.
After a pause, he said again: "Pavilion Master, Master has been looking for you for a long time, do you want to see you today?"
He Lianjing gritted her teeth tightly: "I haven't returned my debt to Zhao Huaiyan yet. If I see her, won't she obstruct me again? Nope." After finishing speaking, she turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness, but she didn't know the other side of the forest. The person he didn't want to see was already there watching everything.
Zheng Ruyi went all the way to the outside of Liu's mansion, looked at the lady of Liu's mansion who was welcoming him, and took out a 50 tael silver note from her sleeve and gave it to her: "Take him out of the mansion, and the rest is none of your business." .”
The woman only thought that Zheng Ruyi wanted to vent her anger on that foolish young man who was pestering her all the time, so she nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take care of it." After that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Zheng Ruyi Looking at her back coldly, he said, "I've checked, and your son is twenty, but because of his short stature and ugly appearance, he has never married a wife, right?"
The mother-in-law felt cold all over, and quickly turned to look at her: "Miss Zheng, slave..."
"What are you afraid of?" After Zheng Ruyi finished speaking, she pushed the maid beside her forward: "If it's done, she will be your future daughter-in-law. If it's not done, your family will go to hell to reunite."
The girl was so frightened that she was like sifting chaff, her eyes were full of tears but she didn't dare to make a sound, the woman hesitated for a moment, and nodded with a full 50 taels of silver bills: "I understand."
Zheng Ruyi then raised her hand and let her do it.
She wasn't worried that her mother-in-law would betray her, because the person who threw Zheng Jiaojiao here was from Yunshuijian, and it was also this mother-in-law who tricked that fool out, and she didn't leave any evidence behind.
She turned around and looked at the hired killer who was following the carriage, and drew out 200 taels of silver notes respectively: "Be quick."
The two killers looked at each other, took the silver ticket and went down.
In the middle of the night, it began to rain from the sky.The rain in spring came very hard, accompanied by thunder and lightning, so frightened people put out their candles and hid in the quilts, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being struck by lightning.
At the gate of Liu's mansion, a tall man came out of the door stupidly. The woman behind him urged him to leave quickly, but he didn't understand, so he walked out quickly, and saw a man lying on the ground from a distance, thinking about his mother's teaching. He smiled foolishly and ran forward to untie his trouser belt, intending to play with her, but two black shadows flashed behind him, and the long sword pierced his heart in an instant, before he could make a sound, he fell down In a pool of blood.
The woman behind the door saw all this through the crack of the door, her face was pale, and she knelt down limply, but she tightly covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound.
The sound of the pattering rain was like a lullaby in the night, Lin Jinzheng lay down on the bed near midnight and fell asleep slowly.
When I woke up the next morning, I heard from Mofeng that Mr. Liu was killed, and there was also Zheng Jiaojiao who was unconscious at the scene.
Lin Jinhua put down the soup in her hand, sighed slightly, and knew in her heart who did it.
"Zheng Ruyi is pushing Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Lai to a dead end again." Offending the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Zheng Lai and Mrs. Zheng must be the most unfavorable. In addition to the evidence of the Zheng family that he left yesterday, Zheng The family is bound to be destroyed in one blow.She didn't expect Zheng Ruyi to be so cruel to herself. When Zheng Lai collapsed, Zhao Kan was the only one she could cling to.Since Zhao Kan had planted a Gu mother in her stomach, he would definitely not let her have any accidents for the time being.
Lin Jinhua paused, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth.With Zheng Ruyi's current means, she will no longer be willing to raise Gu mother for Zhao Kan and wait for the day when she dies. Zhao Kan has never really liked her, but used her as food for Gu mother. People who have loved each other for lifetimes will start to torture each other in this lifetime.
"If something happens to Zheng Lai, Mr. Lin..."
"Your letter has been sent to the prince. I think the prince will make a decision soon. Regardless of the number of things, we have to deal with each matter one by one." Lin Jinhua slowly stood up, watching the continuous light rain outside, holding herself up He picked up the pear-colored oil-paper umbrella on one side, and walked forward slowly.
To enter the palace today, Mrs. Xu couldn't accompany her even if she wanted to, so she could only wait for her at the door early, and when she saw her coming, she stepped forward to meet her, smiled fondly and said, "Jinhua, just tell me if you have anything to do." Aunt, don't be bored by yourself, you know?"
Lin Jinhua smiled and nodded, looking at Xu Zhaozhao who was following behind and looking at her hesitant to speak, she knew that she must not be able to hold back the fact that Mrs. Xu went to see Mrs. Ling and Ping Nanwang yesterday. In fact, she could also I guessed it, no one can guess what the emperor means, everyone chooses to be wise and protect their lives.
After Lin Jinhua and the others left, they took Mo Feng into the carriage and headed to the palace.
Not long before Lin Jinhua arrived at the gate of the palace, Mrs. Dingnanhou arrived. She was wearing a long begonia-colored dress embroidered with rich and noble peonies, a crescent-white cloak, and a gold and silver headdress. The spring in the corners of the eyes and brows of Pingting, the maid's hand, made her look younger and more attractive.
She walked up to Lin Jinhua, her face flushed slightly, and she said with a slight smile, "Your idea is really good, but Lord Hou is still resting right now, I'm afraid it will delay entering the palace to seek the order."
"It's not in a hurry to ask for an order. Madam Hou doesn't have to worry." Lin Jinhua finally let go of her heart.
Mrs. Dingnan Hou smiled, supported her stomach before going inside.
They came to see Huijue in the name of the queen. Although Huijue had met the queen mother, she still lived in the place where the imperial doctors lived, separated from the concubine, so Mrs. Dingnanhou went to ask for medicine under the name In name, Lin Jinhua was led there, but it was no surprise to see Huijue, who was discussing with the imperial doctors whether it would be more useful to pray to gods and Buddha or to take medicine.
When Huijue first met Mrs. Dingnanhou, she didn't realize what happened. When she saw Lin Jinhua who came with her, she immediately became energetic.
Mrs. Dingnanhou went to ask about the medicine first, and then Lin Jinhua walked to the tea table with Huijue by asking about the reason for the future.
Huijue turned his back to the crowd and asked her in a low voice: "Miss Lin, after seeing the Queen Mother last time, she doesn't seem to trust me."
"If you don't believe me, you should be thrown into prison now. This time, I want you to help me with one thing." Lin Jinhua said lightly, raised her hand and took a sip of tea.
After hearing her words, Huijue felt more at ease: "You say, as long as you can do what you can..."
"Have you heard about the Empress Dowager's concubine?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Huijue naturally knew that he had inquired about all this clearly before entering the palace.
He looked at Lin Jinhua and asked, "Do you want me to help you point out a jade girl who was reincarnated under Guanyin?"
"Wang Ruyan."
"Wang Yushi's daughter?"
"That's right..." Lin Jinhua paused: "Also, I want you to point out that Mrs. Luo, who came to ask questions this time, was once attacked by a monster possessed. As for what it is, you don't have to say, Mrs. Luo knows it well "The Luo family will definitely try their best to cover up the matter of Gu worms, just because Zheng Ruyi dared to do this and flaunted his power, it must be determined that Luo Shangshu would not dare to investigate even if he was angry in his heart, that's why it happened.But she must let everyone know about Zhao Kan raising Gu!
Although Huijue went in without knowing it, she still nodded, but looked at her hesitantly: "When can I get out of here? This group of old scholars argues with me all day long, it's really boring."
"Soon, Chun Wei is coming soon." The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up slightly.
"The person who helped you, can he still know if he won't be in the top three?" Huijue's eyes widened.
Lin Jinhua shook her head: "If you got it right word for word, even if the queen mother believes in you, the emperor must think that someone among them cheated. The emperor is a wise king, and the most unbearable thing is cheating in the imperial examination, so you don't have to say the details of the top three. Who it is, you just need to say roughly."
"Then these people are..."
"Among the top three zodiac signs, two belong to snakes and one belongs to rabbits. Both of them are born in the second half of the year." Lin Jinhua said flatly.She remembered very clearly that the top three in the imperial examinations in her previous life were due to Jiang Qingshu, and the top three in this life were not affected much by herself. In the same year, Zeng Xuehai, Lin Xiteng and others who participated in Chunwei were already in the top 4, but Wang Huiyuan, No.[-], was the last to follow His father also became a censor.
Huijue was also taken aback when she saw her speak so carefully, and it happened that Mrs. Dingnanhou had already asked for medicine and came over.
She glanced at the two with a smile, and then said to Huijue, "Master, also take a look at the fetus for me."
Lin Jinhua took the pulse for Mrs. Hou yesterday, and the pulse was stable without any signs of tire slippage, so she nodded.
Huijue replied, "It's not bad."
Madam Dingnanhou felt relieved, and said casually: "Recently there are more foxes in the mansion... Auntie, I am so angry that I haven't slept well for several days, as long as it doesn't affect the child."
Lin Jinhua paused slightly. In her previous life, the concubine that Dingnanhou loved so much that he would divorce his wife and marry him still entered Dingnanhou's mansion.
Lin Jinhua dipped her hand in the tea and wrote the word 'Ni' on the table.
Huijue is very smart, he understood at a glance, and said to Mrs. Dingnanhou: "This concubine is probably the nemesis of Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou must pay more attention and don't see her again, otherwise it will hurt the child."
"Really?" Madam Hou exhaled softly.
Those imperial doctors were a little disdainful when they heard it. It is good to believe in Buddha, but where do living Bodhisattvas come from in this world?
Huijue ignored them and just nodded seriously.
Mrs. Hou was very worried and wanted to ask more questions, but she saw a decree from the Empress Dowager's palace, asking him to see her.
Huijue got up quickly, and asked a few more words: "I don't know why the Queen Mother is looking for the poor monk?"
The people around the queen mother were all good people, she just smiled and said, "Old Madam Luo wanted to see you, so why don't you go with your slaves."
Huijue glanced at the calm Lin Jinhua from the corner of her eye, and then concealed her surprise and let her go.
As soon as he left, Lin Jinhua smiled and said to Madam Dingnanhou: "Madam, don't worry, let's go to the empress's place first, the empress is in charge of the harem, there must be some way to teach you to avoid disasters, right?"
Mrs. Dingnan Hou heard the words, and clapped her hands gratefully: "Fortunately, I have you to advise me." After finishing speaking, she walked quickly to the Queen's Palace.
Lin Jinhua came out of the Imperial Hospital, but she glanced at the direction Huijue was leaving, and her cold eyes were stained with a little smile.
What she didn't know was that when she was arranging all this, Wang Ruyan, who almost committed suicide, also woke up from her grief.
Puji Temple Buddha Hall.
The servant girl saw Wang Ruyan, who had been kneeling in front of the Buddha statue for two days and two nights with the Buddhist scriptures in her arms, and she only stepped forward gently and said, "Miss, I heard that Mr. Lin has not been found yet. Besides, the eldest son seems to want the master to join the Zheng family." One copy from the general." The girl was also trembling when she said this, not knowing whether she should say something bad about Wang Huiyuan.
But Wang Ruyan was extremely calm, she smiled slightly and said: "Go and tell mother that we will go down the mountain and go back to the mansion today."
"But Miss..."
"By the way, Yingtang died to save me. You are going to bury her under her favorite acacia tree, you know." She said softly, her eyes were as calm as a puddle of water, without any waves .
The servant girl bit her lip slightly, wanting to remind her that the acacia tree was the thing Yingtang disliked the most before she was alive, but seeing that she was devoting herself to chanting sutras, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she quietly retreated.
As soon as the maid left, Wang Ruyan slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the majestic Bodhisattva in front of her, tears streaming down her eyes: "Bodhisattva, if you can see the sinner and hear what the sinner said, you will punish me in the future." It doesn’t matter if I’m in the 20th hell, or if I’m never reborn, please bless me to live longer than them, and please bless Mr. Lin... come back safely, the sinner is willing to use [-] years of life to make up for it.” After finishing, Slowly leaned over and knocked heavily.
When her head touched the cold ground, there was a bang, which shattered all her innocence.
Yingtang was watched by her coldly until the night she drowned, she knew that she was not good enough for Mr. Lin, whether in body or mind.
(End of this chapter)
Zeng Xuehai thought it was strange to see Lin Jinhua not coming back after going out with Mrs. Dingnanhou. Not long after, he saw the pretty maid beside Mrs. Dingnanhou came to invite Dingnanhou.
"Master Hou, Madam said she has something to ask for you, so please go." The maid's voice was delicate and soft, which Dingnanhou liked the most.Hearing this, he just smiled at her and said, "Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know, Madam knows that you will ask, let the servant tell you, you will know when you go." The maid smiled shyly.
Marquis Dingnan took a look, and only looked at Zeng Xuehai, and said: "You also go back and clean up, tomorrow I will go to ask the emperor for a marriage."
Zeng Xuehai hurriedly saluted: "Then thank you very much, Uncle."
Only then did Dingnanhou turn around and leave, his eyes falling on the delicate maid next to him from time to time.
Seeing the man leave, Zeng Xuehai straightened his back, thinking that he would soon marry Wang Ruyan, he felt a little contemptuous: "My Zeng family is also considered to be a well-known family, but she still misses other men. And fled to Puji Temple, hum, let me see how long she can hide from me." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the young man next to him: "Go, call Wang Huiyuan out, I should also ask him to discuss with his father, don't make trouble The face of the two families is not good, in the future the Zeng and Wang families will join forces, and there will be a Luofu, which is the official secretary, and it will be invincible."
The boy hurriedly responded and went out.
When Zeng Xuehai thought of being able to stand up immediately, his mood more than doubled, so he didn't care that Lin Jinhua didn't take him seriously just now.
After leaving the mansion, he saw his carriage. He was very careful now, and he had to check it inside and out four or five times before he dared to sit in it, and went straight to the best restaurant in the capital.
The unremarkable beggar on the street saw the carriage go away, so he slowly raised his head, pulled his broken hat, turned his head and walked in another direction with the broken bowl.
Lin Jinhua came out from Dingnanhou's mansion, and after ordering the little beggar Peanut, she went back to Xu's mansion first, thinking that she arranged for her father to go out of the city yesterday, and news of her brother should have come back today.
When she returned to Xu's residence, Madam Xu's eyes turned slightly red when she saw her.
Lin Jinyu raised her heart slightly, walked up to her a few steps, and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
"Jinhua, I told you, don't worry." Madam Xu hesitated.
Lin Jinhua's heart began to beat. Knowing that the story of her brother's distress probably spread, she nodded seriously, and then Madam Xu took her hand and said, "Jincheng was ambushed on the way to the southwest, and his whereabouts are unknown now." Yes, the emperor even sent Zheng Lai to look for it yesterday." She knew about the Zheng family's grievances with the Lin family in private, not to mention that Zheng Lai deliberately designed Lin Jincheng to be captured by the enemy and almost died when he was on the battlefield.
Lin Jinhua knew the news yesterday, so she wasn't too shocked, she just asked, "How about brother?"
Mrs. Xu didn't notice her strange look, but shook her head sadly: "There is no other news, but don't worry, your uncle has already entrusted someone to rescue him, Jin Chengfu has a great life, and nothing will happen. "
"Trouble uncle." Lin Jinhua didn't dare to tell her too much, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to her, but the emperor clearly knew what Zheng Lai had done, and also knew that he was involved in a corruption case. He went to the rescue?Do you want to use Zheng Lai's hand to get rid of your brother, or do you want to use your brother's hand to get rid of Zheng Lai...
Lin Jinhua was also confused for a moment, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, especially this emperor is not only extremely smart, but also very cunning.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Mrs. Xu only patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, Auntie will definitely think of a way with your uncle."
Lin Jinhua remembered that Mrs. Ling had mentioned that her brother, Ling Mo, who is now serving as the Southwest Commander, could help her brother, so could he ask him for help?
"Auntie, it's not convenient for Jinhua to go to the Princess Mansion for the time being. Can I bother you to come? Mrs. Ling has a brother who is serving as the Southwest Commander. This time, Princess Yuan is going to the Southwest by the emperor's order. If he is willing, he will definitely help his brother. "Lin Jinhua doesn't plan to go by herself, and there are still people staring at her now, so she can't show all her hole cards to that person.
Mrs. Xu nodded, thought for a while, and said: "I will stop by the Pingxi Palace. Princess Yuan is from the Pingxi Palace, and they will think of a way."
"En." Lin Jinhua nodded gratefully, and Madam Xu hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage and left.
She returned to her own yard from the front yard, and Mo Feng was already waiting, and said about what she followed last night: "These people seem to have come prepared, but they didn't intend to hurt Miss."
"That person just wants to warn me, and it has something to do with King Ning." She took the tea from the maid and sent everyone out.
"Do you want to tell the prince about this?"
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded. This matter was related to him, so I wanted to tell him.
She felt a bit of a headache, and she didn't know if it was because of the wind or because she had been thinking about these things.Sitting down on the edge of the warm couch, I slowly said: "I am mainly thinking about the purpose of the emperor sending Zheng Lai to rescue him. Only when we have guessed the emperor's thoughts can we proceed to the next step."
"Why don't you ask the prince, he knows the emperor best." Mo Feng suggested.
Lin Jinhua looked at her and smiled helplessly: "Then you should write to him and ask him."
Mo Feng responded quickly, seeing that her complexion was not very good, he asked with concern: "Miss is not healthy?"
"Perhaps the wind blows during the day, you go down and make arrangements first, you have to enter the palace tomorrow, so you can't delay." Lin Jinhua rubbed her brows, only thinking about tomorrow's affairs, after entering the palace tomorrow and dealing with Ru Yan's affairs, It should be possible to test the Queen's tone.
After thinking this way, he leaned against the warm couch and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Mo Feng told Mo Xue to be careful, and then walked out quickly.
At this time in the capital.
Zeng Xuehai met Wang Huiyuan as promised, and then led him to the private room.
Seeing his haggard appearance, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Wang, why are you so haggard, don't you regret it?"
"Of course you won't regret it. You married Ru Yan as promised, just treat her well." Wang Huiyuan just hated Lin Jinhua for killing Lin Zisu, and he has no evidence to identify her yet.Thinking of Lin Zisu's last sentence "I hate you" that day, his heart felt like a knife.
Zeng Xuehai snorted softly: "Of course I will marry him. Tomorrow my uncle will enter the palace to ask the emperor to marry him. But now Ruyan is still thinking about other men and refuses to even go back to the capital. If I marry her, Don't you want to endure her treating me like this in the future?"
Wang Huiyuan frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean? Ru Yan is a good girl, if she marries you, she will definitely be a good wife."
"Of course I know, but she seems to resist me too much, I want to see her alone again..."
"Zeng Xuehai, don't push yourself too hard!" Wang Huiyuan became annoyed, he sent Ru Yan to his bed just because Ru Yan could agree to get married, but he didn't want to ruin her reputation again and again.
Seeing that he shouldn't, Zeng Xuehai only dimmed his eyes, and hurriedly laughed: "I'm just joking, why is Brother Wang so angry? You and I are bosom brothers, you don't understand me yet, don't worry, just look at In terms of your face, I will definitely treat Ru Yan well, not to mention that I like her so much, don't I?"
Wang Huiyuan turned his face away coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Is there anything else you asked me to do?"
"Yes, I heard that the emperor recently sent Zheng Lai to rescue Lin Jincheng who was in trouble?" Zeng Xuehai asked with a murderous look.
"What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing. It's just that Lin Jincheng wanted to rob me of my beloved woman, and the Zheng family made me lose this leg and become crippled..." He remembered the pain of that day when the horse flew up and stepped on his knee and what happened afterwards. The badge of the Zheng family found at the scene, even if there is no sufficient evidence that it is the Zheng family, it is probably not wrong. Zheng Lai had a quarrel with the Zeng family in the early years. .
Wang Huiyuan turned to look at him: "You want to kill them together?"
"That's not the case. As long as something happens to Zheng Lai, he won't be able to lead people to rescue Lin Jincheng. Maybe Lin Jincheng will be killed by those bandits. Do you understand what I mean? I heard that the corruption case on him has not been investigated yet. It is clear, Wang Yushi has always been upright, so he should read a book." Zeng Xuehai's calculations were ringing, and he could count on Zheng and Lin's family without him doing it himself. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone and achieve the best of both worlds?
Wang Huiyuan gritted his teeth slightly, he didn't want Lin Jincheng to come back alive, he had better die outside.
"This matter..." He hesitated a little, if it was Lin Jincheng again, would Ru Yan really hate him?
Zeng Xuehai seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are Ru Yan's real brother after all, can she hate you for an outsider? You have more than ten years of brother-sister friendship, and she is well-educated, so she won't understand of."
Wang Huiyuan was determined to take revenge, and when he heard the bewitching words, he also nodded: "I'll go back first."
"Okay, I'll just wait for your good news." Zeng Xuehai watched him leave with a smile before going downstairs.
Before getting into the carriage, he checked it carefully again to make sure that there was no problem with the carriage, so he sat on it.
Peanut behind the big stone lion in the inn looked at the iron nails that had just been driven into the horse's hoof, smiled slightly, and followed the carriage to catch up.
Zeng Xuehai is happy today, and the carriage runs fast.Returning to Zeng Mansion from here, we had to cross a stone bridge on the moat, and the carriage ran up smoothly, but when the horse stepped on the bridge paved with cobblestones, the iron nails that had been driven into the horse's hoof penetrated into the flesh all at once. In pain, it started running around.
As soon as Zeng Xuehai heard the movement, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly lifted the curtain to look, and seeing the horse went crazy, he jumped under the carriage without saying a word.
He successfully rolled a few times on the ground and stopped safely. He smiled triumphantly, but he didn't notice that the place where he rolled was right next to the kitchen of the tavern next door. On the second floor, someone had already boiled a large vat of boiling water. When he was alone downstairs, he poured the boiling water down. He couldn't dodge it, and then he heard a horrific scream.
When Peanut arrived, there were already many people watching, while Zeng Xuehai had already passed out from the heat, his whole body was red, as if his skin had been scalded.
The servant of Zeng's mansion was more stunned this time than when he was kicked by a horse this time, because this time Zeng Xuehai might not be able to see anyone for the rest of his life.
Zeng Xuehai's personal servant wanted to trouble the owner of the tavern without saying anything, but anyone who inquired a little would know that the tavern was owned by King Jing.
Peanut saw two gorgeously dressed young men coming out of the main entrance as if nothing had happened, winked at them, and they nodded slightly, and then Peanut smiled with satisfaction. Water, even if King Jing wanted to investigate it at that time, he would never find it on the beggar who seemed to be hungry.
After Peanut called the two to leave, he looked at the unconscious Zeng Xuehai, hurriedly pulled off his tattered cloth cap, begged for a round of money, and then went to Xu's mansion pretending to be normal.
Lin Jinhua was resting on the warm couch here, until she felt the warm breath on her face, then she suddenly opened her eyes and met the person in front of her.
"It's you!"
She never thought that it was him who rescued him in Puji Temple, and later witnessed him killing Zhizhou's son in Yuzhou. She never thought that he would dare to come to Xu's mansion openly.
He Lianjing didn't expect that she was actually falling asleep, so she couldn't help but hugged her chest and smiled evilly: "I thought you were really asleep. After all, the medicine I gave you is colorless and tasteless."
"I'm a doctor, so why don't I know my body? The sudden sleepiness, what else can I do besides being drugged?" Lin Jinhua wanted to get up, but her body was still a little soft, and she didn't see Mo Xue: "What did you do to Mo Xue?"
"Let her sleep for a while, after all, she is Zhao Huaiyan's person, and she is also a beauty, how can I be willing to kill you?" He glanced at Lin Jinhua's hand, there was warm tea, and poured himself a cup, the mouth was actually light The scent of flowers is accompanied by a sweet but not greasy taste, a little surprised: "What kind of tea is this?"
"Jasmine honey tea." Lin Jinhua responded calmly, but slowly squeezed the beeswax pills sealed with drugs that she had prepared earlier in the morning.
He Lianjing drank the tea in satisfaction, and then looked at her with a smile: "You are really different, whether you are cruel or ingenious, but Lin Jinhua, you can't beat that person. In other words, they are ants. Do ants know? They are ants that can be crushed to death at any time."
"Who is she? Who are you?" Lin Jinhua asked looking straight at him.
"I'm not here to tell you who she is, but if I don't want to change my name or surname, you can call me Helianjing. For the sake of saving me, I'm here to tell you that as long as You agree to come with me now, maybe I can save your life." He Lianjing looked at her with a smile, her brows and eyes were slightly cold, but she was very beautiful, and it would be good to take it back for viewing.
"Is she your master?" Lin Jinhua guessed and asked him.
He Lianjing raised her eyebrows slightly: "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "If yes, wouldn't you have betrayed her by coming to find me now? If not, you must have other purposes for taking me away. Is it about the prince? I remember you said, you This time I came to the capital to ask him for something back."
He Lianjing looked at her with more interest, leaned closer to meet her eyes, but said with murderous intent: "The more you know, the faster you will die."
"You think I'm afraid of death?"
"But you are afraid of other people's death. Your family, your friends, even your family... Lin Jinhua, you have too many weaknesses." He Lianjing shook her head regretfully: "If it weren't for that, you would be a daughter , can also make a career.”
"What I want is never a career, Mr. Helian, I have someone check the piece of topaz you gave me before, it is the adornment of the acting pavilion master of Yunshuijian, you are the acting pavilion master, so what about the real pavilion master?" , is the 'her' you mentioned just now?"
"Try to trick me?" The corners of He Lianjing's mouth twitched evilly: "Lin Jinhua, you are still a little tender. If you don't come with me, then you will know how weak you are until you die."
Lin Jinhua slightly clenched her hands in her sleeves, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "I think the emperor would not want the power in the cloud to engulf the power of the court. It's not certain who will live and who will die."
Hearing this, He Lianjing looked at her more appreciatively: "Are you not timid? Lin Jinhua, I really doubt what you, a boudoir lady, have experienced."
Lin Jinhua was not afraid to investigate, and he would definitely not be able to find out anything about his previous life.
Just as she was thinking, He Lianjing saw the beeswax pill in her palm, she paused, but she didn't feel dizzy.
Seeing that he found out, Lin Jinhua didn't hide it any more, she just smiled and said, "Your master has sent someone here a long time ago. Since you are so skilled in martial arts, why would I entertain you with drugs? This is Shixiangruanjinsan. There is one tael of silver in a bag, and a bag is only ten, and I will give you all." After finishing speaking, he said loudly, "Come here!"
"Lin Jinhua, you..." He Lianjing pointed at her with wide-eyed eyes as before, "I'm kind enough to help you!"
"Then we're even." Lin Jinhua said indifferently. The sound of footsteps outside was approaching. He Lianjing had no choice but to quickly climb out of the window in embarrassment. When she left, she still stared at Lin Jinhua and said, "I told you , you can’t beat the man behind, I advise you to stay away from Zhao Huaiyan, otherwise, if you die, I will have to peel off your beauty skin to paint.”
"Then you also be careful that if you die that day, I will feed it to the dog!"
He Lianjing's face froze, seeing her indifference, she curled her lips: "You're ruthless!" After saying that, she turned her head and left.
As soon as he left, the maids outside hurried in and saw her leaning against the warm couch helplessly, they hurried forward and said, "Miss, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, go and wake up Mo Xue." She looked at the used up beeswax pills in her hand, and she admired her ability to make up nonsense. How could she have time to buy Shixiangruanjingsan, which is just more powerful than drugs It's just the medicine ordered, but He Lianjing didn't suspect it, and didn't have the luck to check it out.
Not long after, news came that Peanut asked to see him, and Lin Jinhua had someone recruit him in. Seeing his immature face and talking to him about Zeng Xuehai in a mess, he nodded slightly and said, "Will you Hidden well, don't be caught by the tail."
"Miss, don't worry, I asked them to change into the fancy clothes I stole from the Zheng family, and if they want to check, they will be found on the Zheng family." Peanut said with a smile.
Seeing that he was smart, Lin Jinhua recalled what Helian Jing said just now, frowned, and said, "Go to the silk and satin shop tonight, and get 1000 taels of silver from shopkeeper Zhang, and bring it to me in three days." Lin Jinhua took out her waist Give him the card.
Peanut was dumbfounded after hearing this. 1000 taels, he has never seen such white silver, let alone 1000 taels!
He became a little dazed, looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Miss, I don't dare to take the peanuts for fear of not keeping them well."
"You can use some, and give me the rest in three days. I believe you." She lied. Peanut is too small, but she is very clever, and her background is simpler, so she can be cultivated. 1000 taels was indeed a lot for him who had been begging since childhood, so she wanted to see if he would be the next Zhu Wucai.
Peanut looked at Lin Jinhua's bright eyes, gritted his teeth, and nodded firmly, "I will live up to Miss's trust!"
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly, and then sent him out.
Mo Xue is almost awake now, and Lin Jinhua asked her to go to Mo Yue immediately to find out more about Shui Yunjian and He Lianjing. Now that she has some clues about the person behind the scenes, she wants to find out about 'her' as soon as possible. identity is.
When it was getting late, Xu Boshan came back with Mrs. Xu, and the two went to the study to talk for a long time before deciding to hide it from Lin Jinhua and let Xu Chengqing tell her that everything went well.
Seeing that Xu Zhaozhao hadn't come, Lin Jinhua knew that things were not that simple. Zhaozhao was simple and could get it right out of the box, but Xu Chengqing was much more stable.
Seeing that she was silent, Xu Chengqing knew that she didn't believe her, so he could only say, "Jinhua, the prince is still here, and my uncle is gone too. Jincheng will be fine."
"Well, I believe in the lord." Lin Jinhua knew that Zhao Huaiyan would definitely do her best, so she just looked at Xu Chengqing and said with a smile: "It's already the tenth day of March, and it will be Chunwei in a few days. Is my cousin ready?"
Xu Chengqing smiled slightly: "You still have time to worry about me."
Lin Jinhua smiled slightly: "My cousin is also an elder brother, so Jinhua shouldn't favor one person over another."
"I have to tell Zhaozhao that, she doesn't care about my real brother." Xu Chengqing pretended to be serious, and the two looked at each other, and both laughed.
The Xu Mansion has settled down for the time being, but there is always an undercurrent hidden in the capital.
When Zheng Ruyi heard about Zeng Xuehai during the day, she knew that she probably had something to do with Lin Jinhua.Now whenever strange things happen in the capital, she also habitually puts on Lin Jinhua, feeling that she manipulated all of this.
The carriage swayed for a while, and finally stopped. The maid outside said: "Miss, we're here."
"En." Zheng Ruyi responded slightly, and opened the curtain to see that there was a pitch-black forest all around, with only a faint fluorescent light falling in the forest, making it difficult for people to see the people in the forest clearly.
The man in the forest put on a mask, looked at her, and said in a low voice, "Have you brought the money?"
"Of course I brought it." Zheng Ruyi tightly held a stack of banknotes aside: "Yunshuijian has always been reliable in doing things. I want to know how many days I can do good things after I give you the money."
"Let's see what you want to do. Although Yunshuijian is a Jianghu organization, it has its own rules, that is, it will never intervene in court disputes, let alone the battle for the throne between the princes." The masked man said in a low voice, The voice didn't seem to have any emotional ups and downs, like a machine for sending messages.
Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth slightly: "Of course I know the rules. What I want you to do this time is nothing more than a piece of cake for you." After speaking, he threw out the banknote in his hand, and the man was like a ghost Generally, the bank note is caught quickly, and then returned to the position just now.
"5000 taels..." The man glanced at the bank note lightly: "It's not enough to buy a life."
"How much is that?"
"Looking at people, it's [-] yuan for ordinary people. For the most influential people in the capital, the starting price is [-] yuan, and the royal family will not be killed." The masked man said indifferently.
Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth, where did she get so much money, the old lady forced her to give the 5000 taels to Madam Liu of Qianhu.
She said coldly: "I don't take lives, but I want Zheng Jiaojiao from the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, and I want to appear at the gate of Liu's Mansion tonight."
"Yes." After the masked man finished speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zheng Ruyi saw that the 5000 taels were gone, and her fingernails were firmly pinched into the palm of her hand.If she hadn't been unable to deceive Zheng Jiaojiao, she would not have used such a trick.
Seeing that the person had left, the maid asked her timidly, "Miss, where are we going?"
"Go to Liu's Mansion." Her eyes dimmed, and she was driven away by the carriage.But when she thought of the Gu mother in her stomach, another wave of nausea hit her, and she almost vomited it out.Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she kept her eyes closed to endure the nausea, and only kept thinking of the two names that made her unforgettable: "Zhao Kan, Lin Jinhua..."
As soon as she left, another figure appeared in the woods just now.
The masked man looked directly at him and said respectfully, "Pavilion Master, what should I do?"
"You have to do things after you get the money, and do what you want, but we don't mess with the royal family, so you must remember clearly." He Lianjing said coldly.
The man nodded immediately.
After a pause, he said again: "Pavilion Master, Master has been looking for you for a long time, do you want to see you today?"
He Lianjing gritted her teeth tightly: "I haven't returned my debt to Zhao Huaiyan yet. If I see her, won't she obstruct me again? Nope." After finishing speaking, she turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness, but she didn't know the other side of the forest. The person he didn't want to see was already there watching everything.
Zheng Ruyi went all the way to the outside of Liu's mansion, looked at the lady of Liu's mansion who was welcoming him, and took out a 50 tael silver note from her sleeve and gave it to her: "Take him out of the mansion, and the rest is none of your business." .”
The woman only thought that Zheng Ruyi wanted to vent her anger on that foolish young man who was pestering her all the time, so she nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely take care of it." After that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Zheng Ruyi Looking at her back coldly, he said, "I've checked, and your son is twenty, but because of his short stature and ugly appearance, he has never married a wife, right?"
The mother-in-law felt cold all over, and quickly turned to look at her: "Miss Zheng, slave..."
"What are you afraid of?" After Zheng Ruyi finished speaking, she pushed the maid beside her forward: "If it's done, she will be your future daughter-in-law. If it's not done, your family will go to hell to reunite."
The girl was so frightened that she was like sifting chaff, her eyes were full of tears but she didn't dare to make a sound, the woman hesitated for a moment, and nodded with a full 50 taels of silver bills: "I understand."
Zheng Ruyi then raised her hand and let her do it.
She wasn't worried that her mother-in-law would betray her, because the person who threw Zheng Jiaojiao here was from Yunshuijian, and it was also this mother-in-law who tricked that fool out, and she didn't leave any evidence behind.
She turned around and looked at the hired killer who was following the carriage, and drew out 200 taels of silver notes respectively: "Be quick."
The two killers looked at each other, took the silver ticket and went down.
In the middle of the night, it began to rain from the sky.The rain in spring came very hard, accompanied by thunder and lightning, so frightened people put out their candles and hid in the quilts, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being struck by lightning.
At the gate of Liu's mansion, a tall man came out of the door stupidly. The woman behind him urged him to leave quickly, but he didn't understand, so he walked out quickly, and saw a man lying on the ground from a distance, thinking about his mother's teaching. He smiled foolishly and ran forward to untie his trouser belt, intending to play with her, but two black shadows flashed behind him, and the long sword pierced his heart in an instant, before he could make a sound, he fell down In a pool of blood.
The woman behind the door saw all this through the crack of the door, her face was pale, and she knelt down limply, but she tightly covered her mouth and did not dare to make a sound.
The sound of the pattering rain was like a lullaby in the night, Lin Jinzheng lay down on the bed near midnight and fell asleep slowly.
When I woke up the next morning, I heard from Mofeng that Mr. Liu was killed, and there was also Zheng Jiaojiao who was unconscious at the scene.
Lin Jinhua put down the soup in her hand, sighed slightly, and knew in her heart who did it.
"Zheng Ruyi is pushing Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Lai to a dead end again." Offending the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Zheng Lai and Mrs. Zheng must be the most unfavorable. In addition to the evidence of the Zheng family that he left yesterday, Zheng The family is bound to be destroyed in one blow.She didn't expect Zheng Ruyi to be so cruel to herself. When Zheng Lai collapsed, Zhao Kan was the only one she could cling to.Since Zhao Kan had planted a Gu mother in her stomach, he would definitely not let her have any accidents for the time being.
Lin Jinhua paused, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of her mouth.With Zheng Ruyi's current means, she will no longer be willing to raise Gu mother for Zhao Kan and wait for the day when she dies. Zhao Kan has never really liked her, but used her as food for Gu mother. People who have loved each other for lifetimes will start to torture each other in this lifetime.
"If something happens to Zheng Lai, Mr. Lin..."
"Your letter has been sent to the prince. I think the prince will make a decision soon. Regardless of the number of things, we have to deal with each matter one by one." Lin Jinhua slowly stood up, watching the continuous light rain outside, holding herself up He picked up the pear-colored oil-paper umbrella on one side, and walked forward slowly.
To enter the palace today, Mrs. Xu couldn't accompany her even if she wanted to, so she could only wait for her at the door early, and when she saw her coming, she stepped forward to meet her, smiled fondly and said, "Jinhua, just tell me if you have anything to do." Aunt, don't be bored by yourself, you know?"
Lin Jinhua smiled and nodded, looking at Xu Zhaozhao who was following behind and looking at her hesitant to speak, she knew that she must not be able to hold back the fact that Mrs. Xu went to see Mrs. Ling and Ping Nanwang yesterday. In fact, she could also I guessed it, no one can guess what the emperor means, everyone chooses to be wise and protect their lives.
After Lin Jinhua and the others left, they took Mo Feng into the carriage and headed to the palace.
Not long before Lin Jinhua arrived at the gate of the palace, Mrs. Dingnanhou arrived. She was wearing a long begonia-colored dress embroidered with rich and noble peonies, a crescent-white cloak, and a gold and silver headdress. The spring in the corners of the eyes and brows of Pingting, the maid's hand, made her look younger and more attractive.
She walked up to Lin Jinhua, her face flushed slightly, and she said with a slight smile, "Your idea is really good, but Lord Hou is still resting right now, I'm afraid it will delay entering the palace to seek the order."
"It's not in a hurry to ask for an order. Madam Hou doesn't have to worry." Lin Jinhua finally let go of her heart.
Mrs. Dingnan Hou smiled, supported her stomach before going inside.
They came to see Huijue in the name of the queen. Although Huijue had met the queen mother, she still lived in the place where the imperial doctors lived, separated from the concubine, so Mrs. Dingnanhou went to ask for medicine under the name In name, Lin Jinhua was led there, but it was no surprise to see Huijue, who was discussing with the imperial doctors whether it would be more useful to pray to gods and Buddha or to take medicine.
When Huijue first met Mrs. Dingnanhou, she didn't realize what happened. When she saw Lin Jinhua who came with her, she immediately became energetic.
Mrs. Dingnanhou went to ask about the medicine first, and then Lin Jinhua walked to the tea table with Huijue by asking about the reason for the future.
Huijue turned his back to the crowd and asked her in a low voice: "Miss Lin, after seeing the Queen Mother last time, she doesn't seem to trust me."
"If you don't believe me, you should be thrown into prison now. This time, I want you to help me with one thing." Lin Jinhua said lightly, raised her hand and took a sip of tea.
After hearing her words, Huijue felt more at ease: "You say, as long as you can do what you can..."
"Have you heard about the Empress Dowager's concubine?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Huijue naturally knew that he had inquired about all this clearly before entering the palace.
He looked at Lin Jinhua and asked, "Do you want me to help you point out a jade girl who was reincarnated under Guanyin?"
"Wang Ruyan."
"Wang Yushi's daughter?"
"That's right..." Lin Jinhua paused: "Also, I want you to point out that Mrs. Luo, who came to ask questions this time, was once attacked by a monster possessed. As for what it is, you don't have to say, Mrs. Luo knows it well "The Luo family will definitely try their best to cover up the matter of Gu worms, just because Zheng Ruyi dared to do this and flaunted his power, it must be determined that Luo Shangshu would not dare to investigate even if he was angry in his heart, that's why it happened.But she must let everyone know about Zhao Kan raising Gu!
Although Huijue went in without knowing it, she still nodded, but looked at her hesitantly: "When can I get out of here? This group of old scholars argues with me all day long, it's really boring."
"Soon, Chun Wei is coming soon." The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up slightly.
"The person who helped you, can he still know if he won't be in the top three?" Huijue's eyes widened.
Lin Jinhua shook her head: "If you got it right word for word, even if the queen mother believes in you, the emperor must think that someone among them cheated. The emperor is a wise king, and the most unbearable thing is cheating in the imperial examination, so you don't have to say the details of the top three. Who it is, you just need to say roughly."
"Then these people are..."
"Among the top three zodiac signs, two belong to snakes and one belongs to rabbits. Both of them are born in the second half of the year." Lin Jinhua said flatly.She remembered very clearly that the top three in the imperial examinations in her previous life were due to Jiang Qingshu, and the top three in this life were not affected much by herself. In the same year, Zeng Xuehai, Lin Xiteng and others who participated in Chunwei were already in the top 4, but Wang Huiyuan, No.[-], was the last to follow His father also became a censor.
Huijue was also taken aback when she saw her speak so carefully, and it happened that Mrs. Dingnanhou had already asked for medicine and came over.
She glanced at the two with a smile, and then said to Huijue, "Master, also take a look at the fetus for me."
Lin Jinhua took the pulse for Mrs. Hou yesterday, and the pulse was stable without any signs of tire slippage, so she nodded.
Huijue replied, "It's not bad."
Madam Dingnanhou felt relieved, and said casually: "Recently there are more foxes in the mansion... Auntie, I am so angry that I haven't slept well for several days, as long as it doesn't affect the child."
Lin Jinhua paused slightly. In her previous life, the concubine that Dingnanhou loved so much that he would divorce his wife and marry him still entered Dingnanhou's mansion.
Lin Jinhua dipped her hand in the tea and wrote the word 'Ni' on the table.
Huijue is very smart, he understood at a glance, and said to Mrs. Dingnanhou: "This concubine is probably the nemesis of Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou must pay more attention and don't see her again, otherwise it will hurt the child."
"Really?" Madam Hou exhaled softly.
Those imperial doctors were a little disdainful when they heard it. It is good to believe in Buddha, but where do living Bodhisattvas come from in this world?
Huijue ignored them and just nodded seriously.
Mrs. Hou was very worried and wanted to ask more questions, but she saw a decree from the Empress Dowager's palace, asking him to see her.
Huijue got up quickly, and asked a few more words: "I don't know why the Queen Mother is looking for the poor monk?"
The people around the queen mother were all good people, she just smiled and said, "Old Madam Luo wanted to see you, so why don't you go with your slaves."
Huijue glanced at the calm Lin Jinhua from the corner of her eye, and then concealed her surprise and let her go.
As soon as he left, Lin Jinhua smiled and said to Madam Dingnanhou: "Madam, don't worry, let's go to the empress's place first, the empress is in charge of the harem, there must be some way to teach you to avoid disasters, right?"
Mrs. Dingnan Hou heard the words, and clapped her hands gratefully: "Fortunately, I have you to advise me." After finishing speaking, she walked quickly to the Queen's Palace.
Lin Jinhua came out of the Imperial Hospital, but she glanced at the direction Huijue was leaving, and her cold eyes were stained with a little smile.
What she didn't know was that when she was arranging all this, Wang Ruyan, who almost committed suicide, also woke up from her grief.
Puji Temple Buddha Hall.
The servant girl saw Wang Ruyan, who had been kneeling in front of the Buddha statue for two days and two nights with the Buddhist scriptures in her arms, and she only stepped forward gently and said, "Miss, I heard that Mr. Lin has not been found yet. Besides, the eldest son seems to want the master to join the Zheng family." One copy from the general." The girl was also trembling when she said this, not knowing whether she should say something bad about Wang Huiyuan.
But Wang Ruyan was extremely calm, she smiled slightly and said: "Go and tell mother that we will go down the mountain and go back to the mansion today."
"But Miss..."
"By the way, Yingtang died to save me. You are going to bury her under her favorite acacia tree, you know." She said softly, her eyes were as calm as a puddle of water, without any waves .
The servant girl bit her lip slightly, wanting to remind her that the acacia tree was the thing Yingtang disliked the most before she was alive, but seeing that she was devoting herself to chanting sutras, she didn't dare to disturb her, so she quietly retreated.
As soon as the maid left, Wang Ruyan slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the majestic Bodhisattva in front of her, tears streaming down her eyes: "Bodhisattva, if you can see the sinner and hear what the sinner said, you will punish me in the future." It doesn’t matter if I’m in the 20th hell, or if I’m never reborn, please bless me to live longer than them, and please bless Mr. Lin... come back safely, the sinner is willing to use [-] years of life to make up for it.” After finishing, Slowly leaned over and knocked heavily.
When her head touched the cold ground, there was a bang, which shattered all her innocence.
Yingtang was watched by her coldly until the night she drowned, she knew that she was not good enough for Mr. Lin, whether in body or mind.
