Chapter 73
When the people stuck in Zheng's mansion saw Mrs. Zheng, who had been hiding for a long time, finally come out, the crowd finally stopped their crusade.

The one who walked in the front was Zheng Rong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He had held a high position for many years, and his aura was extraordinary. ?”

"I..." Mrs. Zheng was a little timid. After all, her son who could support her was not there. More importantly, she always felt that someone deliberately harmed her when all these things came together. But thinking of Zheng Ruyi's words, she just He could bite the bullet and said, "You don't need to argue any more, I did send people to do these things."

"What?" Mr. Liu was the most surprised. Although he suspected that Zheng Rong, Minister of the Ministry of War, killed his son in order to preserve his daughter's reputation, he did not expect Mrs. Zheng to admit it herself.

Mrs. Zheng is not as calm as they are. After hearing her confession, when Dang even picked up the tea and splashed it on Mrs. Zheng's face, she said coldly: "I thought you and Zheng's family were a family anyway, Jiaojiao is usually She's a bit stubborn and arrogant, but she doesn't have any bad intentions, and she hasn't done anything wrong to you, how could you instigate someone to trick her out and make her almost..." Mrs. Zheng choked up and didn't continue.

The people from Zeng's residence also asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that you were the one who had someone put iron nails into my son Xuehai's horse's hoof, and then deliberately let someone pour hot water on him to scald him?"

Mrs. Zheng was slightly startled, wanted to shake her head, but hesitated for a while. Zheng Ruyi asked her to admit everything first, and then shirk it to Lin Jinhua...

She made several turns in her heart, but the people in front of her were not easy to provoke, and she had no one to support her, so she had to listen to Zheng Ruyi, thinking that she still had King Jing who could intercede, and said, "Yes... ...However, all of this is not what I wanted, but someone forced me." She was not at all angry that someone spilled her tea, she just wiped off the water stains on her face with a handkerchief, and said pitifully.

"Who forced you?" Zheng Rong asked in a deep voice, feeling a little impatient.No matter if someone instigates it or not, as long as Mrs. Zheng does this, he will no longer treat this family as so-called relatives in the future, and they better pray that they don't fall into his hands.

"That's right, who has such a great ability to force you?" Master Zeng also asked coldly.

Mrs. Zheng was extremely flustered. She faintly felt that it was wrong to follow what Zheng Ruyi said, but she couldn't think in such a highly tense situation, so she could only say: "Yes...it's Lin Jinhua!"

When everyone heard the name, their expressions changed, until Mrs. Zeng, who had been sitting at the back, came over and looked at her unexpectedly calmly: "Although Miss Lin is fifteen years old, she is just a little girl, even if she has The ability can make the old lady listen to her, a little girl, to do such a burning thing, but I heard that General Zheng Lai is going to rescue Mr. Lin, how can she have the position to force Mrs. Zheng? Said that it was Mrs. Zheng who forced her , I have some confidence."

Mrs. Zheng's heartbeat quickened all of a sudden, she kept wiping her forehead with a veil of sweat, she couldn't utter a complete sentence with this and that in her mouth.

Master Liu also said: "I have evidence that Mrs. Zheng killed my son, but Mrs. Zheng has produced evidence that Miss Lin threatened you?"

Minister of the Ministry of War snorted softly: "I don't think it's necessary. She must not be able to get it out. I'd better go to the palace. Although the case of Zheng Lai's embezzlement and bribery is not under the control of the Ministry of War, he has repeatedly framed his colleagues during his tenure as a general. It is in fact collusion with the enemy." A great crime of treason." After finishing speaking, he walked out directly, and Mrs. Zheng hurriedly followed, and gave her a cold look before leaving: "I thought it was all planned by Zheng Ruyi, but I never thought it was you. , old lady, you really put on a good show from beginning to end."

Mrs. Zheng is now dumb and unable to tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis. Obviously Zheng Ruyi taught her to say this, why not?
"No, Ruyi asked me to admit all of this. I didn't do it, and I don't know about it. Mr. Zheng, you just look at the fact that the surnames of both families are Zheng..." Mrs. Zheng didn't finish her rebuttal. , Zheng Ruyi came out from the side room, her eyes were red as if she had just cried.

She stepped forward and knelt down in front of Zheng Shangshu, crying: "My lord, grandma is bound to be confused when she is old. You should treat Ruyi as doing these things, arrest Ruyi and question her, don't tell the emperor, please."

She cried sincerely, but only said that the old lady was confused for a while, wouldn't that mean that she admitted for her that these things were indeed done by her?

Mrs. Zheng quickly pulled her up and said: "Ruyi, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I do such a thing? Didn't you ask me to say these things?"

Zheng Ruyi didn't argue, but sobbed softly: "Grandmother, it's all Ruyi's fault. Ruyi should have admitted it for you, and should have stopped you at that time..."

"Your own granddaughter has admitted it for you, and you still want to talk back? Mrs. Zheng, don't you think we are all fools?" Master Zeng looked at her sarcastically.

Mrs. Zheng was so full of bitterness that she couldn't get it out, so she could only shake her head: "I really didn't do these things. I was in the room last night and never went out." After speaking, she suddenly understood, and immediately pointed to Zheng Ruyi: " Last night I wondered why you didn't come home all night, Ruyi, is it you..."

"Grandma, whatever you say is fine, Ruyi will plead guilty for you." Zheng Ruyi sobbed.

In the eyes of everyone, it was an established fact that Mrs. Zheng did this.

Not long after, the officials from outside came, together with Dingnanhou, and brought the emperor's oral order.

"By God's fortune, the emperor ordered Zheng Rong and Jing Zhaoyin to investigate this matter thoroughly in person. If it is true, they should be severely punished!" After Dingnanhou said, he looked at him and knelt on one side and cried bitterly. Poor Zheng Ruyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Zheng Ruyi also noticed his gaze, raised her head briskly, met his gaze, and instantly knew that he thought she was beautiful and amazing, because she had seen too many men's gazes like this, the purest one was only Lin Jincheng ...

She gritted her teeth secretly, lowered her head and said nothing.

Mrs. Zheng was taken aback, she knelt down and pulled his clothes and said, "Master Hou, my wife really never did such a thing, Ruyi instructed me to say this..."

"At one time you said that Lin Jinhua threatened you, and at another time you said that your own granddaughter threatened you. Mrs. Zheng, I think you are getting old and confused. Why don't you go to the Jingzhao Mansion Prison to sober up and make a decision. After Zheng Rong finished speaking, he glanced darkly at Zheng Ruyi, who was sobbing with downcast eyes, and then waved his hand: "Come here, take her to Jingzhao Mansion."

"Yes." Immediately, a yamen servant came up, escorted Mrs. Zheng, who was still howling, and went out.

Zheng Ruyi kept begging them to drag her to take the blame, but the more she said this, the less likely it was for everyone to do so.

Before leaving, Zheng Rong took a step behind and looked at her coldly: "Zheng Ruyi, this is the only daughter I have, who is in pain like a jewel, will she not have an accident next time?"

Zheng Ruyi was slightly taken aback, knowing that he was doubting herself, but she just smiled wryly, "Jiaojiaofu is so lucky, nothing will happen to her. Ruyi really envies Jiaojiao for having a father who loves her so much."

Zheng Rong glanced at her indifferently: "You can also marry very well. Be a side concubine to King Jing, and enjoy the same glory and wealth, but you have to remember that if you walk too much at night, you will always meet ghosts." .” After speaking, he turned indifferently and left.

As soon as he left, Zheng Ruyi slowly supported the servant girl's hand and stood up. Seeing that the huge Zheng Mansion now belonged to her alone, she felt inexplicably better. One side retched.

The news of Mrs. Zheng's arrest quickly spread, and Lin Jinhua had just returned to the yard after dinner in the Xu Mansion, when she heard the news from someone.

"She actually admitted that she did it herself?"

"I heard that she admitted it first and wanted to slander you, but everyone didn't believe it, so she changed her words to slander her own granddaughter, saying that she had instigated herself to say that, but in the end no one believed her, so she was taken directly to the prison." Ah After Bao finished speaking, he looked at her quietly and said, "Miss, do you think you will be involved in this matter?"

"No, she is a smart person." Zheng Ruyi knew that it was absolutely impossible to kill two birds with one stone based on such little evidence, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of her biggest opponent first, that is, the old man Zheng who hindered her everywhere. people.

Ah Bao didn't understand, but seeing Lin Jinhua's tired face, he didn't ask any more questions, and just went to get her some hot water for bathing.

Lin Jinhua still didn't want to understand what the medicinal powder that Concubine De had quietly smeared on the back of her hand today was for, so she couldn't be sure if the piranha was really related to her, but someone in the palace was going to be punished now .

After the queen heard about this incident, she knew that someone was plotting against her, so she only gave a few instructions to Yun Jiang, who had rushed back from Concubine De, and was summoned by the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager also passed on De Fei.

Arriving in the Empress Dowager's palace, Mrs. Luo coughed a few times, she looked good, saw the empress and the others coming, and got up to greet her: "I have seen the empress, empress de concubine."

"Old Madam, you don't need to be too polite. I heard that you are not in good health. Are you feeling better now?" The Queen didn't show any nervousness at all, she just asked dignifiedly and considerately.

Mrs. Luo hurriedly smiled gratefully and said: "Please trouble your mother to make a note. My wife's health has improved a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to the palace, so as not to upset the Queen Mother." Mrs. Luo's intimacy can be seen with her Queen's relationship.

The queen mother looked at her with a smile, and said: "Okay, you are old, you should be tired after tossing back and forth for a day, go back and rest earlier, what you said is sad." The family will consider it."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Seeing her saying this, Mrs. Luo knew that it was probably done, so she hurriedly saluted and then withdrew.

The queen mother looked at Huijue who was on the side, and her attitude was much better: "Master Huijue, go down and rest first."

Naturally, Huijue didn't dare to stay any longer, so she politely bowed and left.

As soon as they left, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face gradually faded, she looked at the servants around her, and said: "Everyone will step down, the empress and Concubine De must stay."

When the queen heard this, her heart rose slightly.

After the palace servants left, before the queen mother could speak, the queen had already said, "This time the piranha incident was due to my concubine's negligence."

The queen mother took a deep look at her, then looked at Concubine De who was following behind, and said, "Concubine De, what do you think about this matter?"

Concubine De is not as serious as the Empress, but she smiled slightly: "I'm glad that the concubine died. Fortunately, it was only one of the concubine's maids who died. If the one who died was a concubine in the palace or today's Miss Lin, how sad would the Empress Dowager be?"

"Sister De Concubine said yes." The queen didn't even look at her: "Fortunately, Sister De Concubine had the foresight to send her maid to send Miss Lin to the bridge, otherwise, I wouldn't know that such a rationale could be so cruel." things."

When Concubine De heard this, she was a little annoyed. She meant that her people probably lured Lin Jinhua over?
She immediately sneered: "Sister, I am afraid that this piranha was brought in by my sister? But I haven't seen any strangers outside except Princess Duanhui and Kan'er, unlike the queen. Sister, I heard that your relatives from the southwest came here two days ago?"

"She just came to..."

"Okay." The queen mother glanced at them, a little bit dissatisfied: "Aijia asked you to serve the emperor, not for you to intrigue. It's Concubine De, who should take good care of the harem so as not to worry the emperor, but now she's playing tricks in front of Ai's family, do you think Ai's family is blind?"

The queen mother said this seriously, and the two immediately knelt down.

Then the Queen Mother said coldly: "Since both the Empress and Concubine De can't manage the harem well, from now on, Concubine Jia will replace Concubine De to assist the Six Palaces, and the Empress will be confined for three days to think about it."

The queen gritted her teeth slightly, not daring to refuse, and complied obediently.

Concubine De still has to fight for it. The right to assist the six palaces is not only able to manage affairs, but also a symbol of status. Why did the Empress Dowager give it to a concubine who is inconspicuous and the emperor doesn't like it?

The queen mother has made up her mind, and she doesn't want to say any more, so she sends the person out directly.

Concubine De came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace, and then she looked at the Queen's back and smiled sarcastically: "Unexpectedly, we have been fighting for a long time, but the concubine Jia has benefited."

"Everyone in the harem wears a false mask, not the concubine Jia, but someone else. The younger sister of the concubine De has been sitting at the head of the four concubines for so long and still doesn't understand? But the concubine Jia is also an old man in the palace, and now she has to The Queen of Heaven likes to let her assist the Sixth Palace, so it's time to be promoted to a concubine." After finishing speaking, she directly set up a sedan chair and headed for the Emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine De was so angry that the pink on her face fell off, the maid on one side stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, why don't we ask the Xiong family to help."

Concubine De glanced at her, but hummed. When she thought that not only did she fail to attack Lin Jinhua, but she also provoked a mess, she was so angry that she walked away.

As the night gradually darkened, people walking through the palace had already spread the news outside the palace, and soon all the forces in the capital knew about it.

Lin Jinhua looked at the man who was sitting by the warm couch waiting for her to change the dressing. Seeing that his wound seemed to be getting bigger, she frowned slightly: "If the wound opens again, it will really leave a scar." She applied the medicine to the wound while road.

Zhao Huaiyan looked at her tenderly, and said, "Come out with me later."

"where to?"

"Meet someone." He paused for a while, then said again.

Lin Jinhua knew his temperament, so she didn't ask any further questions, and slowly bandaged his wound, watched him change, then took a black cloak and put it on, and went out with him.

Today, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the street was so dark that you could barely see your fingers. After a spring rain, the horse stepped into the puddle, splashing a splash of water, which startled the dogs kept by the roadside to bark.

Sitting in front of the horse, Lin Jinhua leaned back slightly in front of his chest and hid in his cloak, sniffing the mixed smell of mud and flowers in the air after the spring rain, Anxin was held by him and quickly moved forward.

The horse ran for less than half an hour in the city before finally stopping in front of a very ordinary-looking teahouse.

Hearing the noise, the old tea seller came out with a lantern in his hand. He staggered to see who was coming, with a look of surprise on his face, he hurriedly stood aside respectfully.

"He Lianjing is inside?" Zhao Huaiyan asked coldly.

"Yes." The old man responded, looking at Lin Jinhua in his arms with complicated eyes, but didn't say much.

Zhao Huaiyan got off the horse and turned around to pick up Lin Jinhua, before saying to the old man, "Take me to see him."

The old man saw that Zhao Huaiyan was so considerate to this woman as in the rumors, no wonder the master came to find him himself.

He responded, glanced at Lin Jinhua, who was almost completely wrapped in the black cloak, through the corner of the lantern, and quickly turned around and walked in.

Lin Jinhua knew that Zhao Huaiyan must know He Lianjing, but He Lianjing was the famous acting pavilion master of Shuiyunjian, how dare he come here alone like this?Moreover, the old tea seller seemed to belong to He Lianjing, but he was equally respectful to Zhao Huaiyan.

With a stomach full of questions, she walked through a plum grove, looked at the carved beams and painted buildings that suddenly appeared in front of her, and was taken aback. There was such an exquisite place hidden behind the simple tea house.

"Cao Weng, didn't I say don't bother me, who did you invite?"

He Lianjing's voice came along with the curling sound of the piano.

The old tea seller didn't respond, he only led Zhao Huaiyan to the door, then stopped and stepped aside.

Zhao Huaiyan's phoenix eyes were cold, and she walked in directly. Lin Jinhua quickly followed, and just after entering the room, she smelled a very strong smell of powder. White gauze was hanging all over the room. Wearing a thin gauze, she waited for tea and wine inside, while Helian Jing, who hadn't seen her for a long time, was leaning softly on the maid playing the piano, holding a wine glass, her eyes blank.

The women didn't mess up at all when they saw the person coming, He Lianjing didn't even lift his eyelids, he drank his wine and said: "Cao Weng, who did you recruit, the new beauty..."

"Look, don't you know?" Zhao Huaiyan said coldly, He Lianjing's eyes widened suddenly, and the wine glass in his hand was thrown towards Zhao Huaiyan's direction instantly, but Zhao Huaiyan shot faster, and knocked the wine glass back with his backhand, Hit Helian Jing directly on the head.

He was dizzy, and before he could speak, Zhao Huaiyan had already flashed in front of him and threw him out of the window.

Seeing this, the maids quickly gestured to strike, but He Lianjing shouted outside the window: "You are all dying? Get out."

The maids hesitated for a moment, but withdrew their hands and stepped back.

Only then did Lin Jinhua come in. Looking at He Lianjing who walked in from the main entrance in a state of embarrassment, it was even more strange to see that although he was angry, there was no murderous intent in his eyes.

He looked at Lin Jinhua, came to understand, looked at Zhao Huaiyan and said, "You don't want to embarrass me like this for a woman, right? I'm also the acting pavilion master anyway."

"I warned you not to see her." Zhao Huaiyan's thin lips were slightly moaned, with a murderous look overflowing.

He Lianjing gritted her teeth, very annoyed: "You wiped out my village, I'll just see her and talk to her, do you still want to kill me?"

"That's what you deserve." Zhao Huaiyan snorted coldly and arrogantly, then turned to look at Lin Jinhua: "How do you want to deal with him?"

He Lianjing tensed up when she heard this, and said: "I went to see her last time to protect her, you don't know who came to the capital..."

Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly before looking at him: "You know what your purpose is. Next time I let this king see you approaching, all the things I promised you before will be void." After that, she pulled Lin Jinhua to step forward He left, but was stopped by Helian Jing.

He Lianjing's complexion was rare, he seemed to be angry and unwilling: "You shouldn't treat her like this, she..."

"How much do you know about her and me?" Zhao Huaiyan looked at him coldly.

He Lianjing seemed to be angry: "What about me? You promise me that as long as you finish your own business, you will leave Jinchao... And this Miss Lin, is she really suitable for you? She was just raised by a boudoir Good girl, can I suffer with you?"

Lin Jinhua glanced at him indifferently, and tightened her grip on Zhao Huaiyan's hand: "The king's heart is like mine, and he will definitely live up to his lovesickness."

The coldness in Zhao Huaiyan's eyes instantly turned into tenderness, and he looked at He Lianjing with a bit of arrogance: "Remember what this king said." After finishing speaking, he took Lin Jinhua away.

After coming out of the courtyard, Lin Jinhua's cheeks felt slightly warm. It was indeed her intention to say those words, but since she was reborn, she rarely expressed her feelings directly like this, and now she would feel ashamed to say them.

Zhao Huaiyan was in a good mood, he carried her on the horse himself, and then led the horse forward for her: "The horse is bumpy, your skin is delicate, don't hurt yourself."

"Then how long will it take to go back home?"

"Worried about going back?" Zhao Huaiyan asked her.

Lin Jinhua's eyes crooked: "Since the prince is here, it doesn't matter if you don't go back."

"May I be like a star like a moon, with a bright and clean night and night." The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's mouth curled up naturally, and Lin Jinhua saw the corners of his raised mouth as if he had discovered a new world, and said with a grin: "The prince is smiling."

"Really?" Zhao Huaiyan habitually suppressed her smile, but seeing her starry eyes, she felt even more love in her heart, got on the horse, held her small face and kissed her deeply.

He Lianjing stood on the street and watched the two leave with a smile. He only sighed slightly in his heart, and looked at Cao Weng beside him: "There is no need to report this matter."

"Yes." Cao Weng lowered his eyes in response, and He Lianjing frowned and went back to the room.

The night passed.

Zhao Kan went to bed very late last night, and before he woke up, he heard noises outside, opened his eyes slightly, only to find that the maid was approaching hesitantly, and couldn't help but feel a little impatient: "What's the matter?"

The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Someone delivered this in the middle of the night yesterday." After that, she handed over a blood-stained box.

Zhao Kan just glanced at it, then got up immediately, took the box and looked back at the concubine who was still sleeping, and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"

The concubine woke up frightened by the scolding, seeing his angry face, she didn't dare to stop to put on her clothes, and ran away barefoot with only her bellyband on her clothes.

After the people had left, Zhao Kan opened the box and took a look, then immediately said, "Go invite Qu Kong."

The servant girl responded immediately, and before she could turn her head to go out, someone hurriedly ran outside and knelt down on the ground: "My lord, Qu Kong is missing."

"Why did you disappear? Can't you look down on a big living person?" Zhao Kan threw the box in his hand to the ground, and a head rolled out. It was the hidden guard he used to stare at Zheng's mansion.

The boy shook his head, but said: "We are guarding well, it is impossible to be taken away, I am afraid that we left by ourselves."

Zhao Kan's face became even more serious: "Asshole, he hasn't finished refining Gu yet, how could he leave by himself, he was probably tricked out by someone."

The servant took out a square scarf from his sleeve and gave it to him: "The subordinates found this outside the mansion. It was left in the corner, and I'm afraid no one will find it."

"Could it be a woman? Lin Jinhua?" Zhao Kan shook his head. If it was Lin Jinhua, Qu Kong wouldn't go out at all, and he had a bone flute in his hand, and he would play the flute if he was in danger, so the person who can take him away must be someone he knows and cares about. , as far as he knew, there was only one person, and that was Zheng Ruyi who had a voodoo mother hidden in her belly!

"Where is Zheng Ruyi now?" He asked coldly.

The servant said: "She just personally sent Mrs. Zheng to the prison, and she is still in the mansion now."

Zhao Kan's teeth clenched slightly: "Bring her to me immediately!" Zheng Ruyi looks delicate, but in fact she has a lot of means. If she did it, he has reason to believe it. After all, she is so cruel that she sent her grandmother When he went to prison, he also ruined his father's future.

The boy responded and hurried down with the news.

Outside King Jing's Mansion, Gao Zhi saw the young man heading towards Zheng's Mansion from a distance, and then he covered the bloody gash on his neck bitten by the Gu insect, and looked at the gray-clothed man who was knocked out and thrown in the alley's debris , kicked his already crushed bone flute away, and reluctantly carried him to the depths of the alley.

When Lin Jinhua woke up in the morning, she was in her own bed, remembering that Zhao Huaiyan left with Gao Zhi after sending her back last night, the corners of her mouth only slightly curled into a smile.

Mo Feng came back early in the morning and was not injured, because the trip to Zeng's mansion last night was extremely smooth. Not only did she want Zeng Xuehai to die, but Zeng Xuehai's aunt who was redeemed from the brothel also thought that even the ginseng slices were taken advantage of by her. Ye Ling put it in without paying attention.

When she told Lin Jinhua about this, she still felt strange: "The aunt still bullied Miss Wang a lot during the day, but she got murderous at night, and the slaves didn't see anyone bribe her."

Lin Jinhua had no influence on this aunt. She only remembered that there was once a famous oiran. Later, just like in the scriptures, the beautiful woman fell in love with the poor scholar, but was torn apart by the rich man. Could it be her?

"Since the matter is settled, don't worry about it." Lin Jinzheng drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "We should also go to see Ruyan today."

Mo Feng nodded: "Miss Wang has a knot in her heart, if you don't untie it, I'm afraid something will happen."

Lin Jinhua thought of Wang Huiyuan, tomorrow will be Chunwei, will he still be in the top four like in his previous life?
Mrs. Zeng's family only got tired in the morning, and when she thought of the only legitimate son under her knees lying on the bed covered in injuries, she wished she could skin Mrs. Zheng.

After the two had breakfast in the morning, they saw Zeng Xuehai's Aunt Die running over crying with weak legs and feet.

Master Zeng has a hot temper, and knowing that Zeng Xuehai snatched her back from the brothel back then, he became even more displeased, and immediately slapped the table: "How decent is it to cry like this!"

"No, master, it's my husband..." She cried and knelt on the ground, tears falling like broken beads.

"What's wrong with Xuehai?" Mrs. Zeng was still calm, but she trembled slightly when she asked her.

"It's about to die..." Aunt Die cried, and Master Zeng and Mrs. Zeng felt dizzy immediately, and they hurried to Zeng Xuehai's yard without finding them, so Aunt Die took them away. Feeling all the sadness, he lowered his head and touched his stomach, the corners of his mouth curled up sadly.

When Master Zeng arrived, Zeng Xuehai was indeed on the verge of dying. Because of allergies, he felt that his whole body was itching unbearably. He stretched out his hand to scratch, but he scratched all the huge blisters on his body.He wanted to cry out in pain, but because he took the dumb drug, he couldn't speak a word at all, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

When Mrs. Zeng came, she saw the blisters all over his body burst, exposing the pink and white flesh inside. She immediately screamed in fright, threw herself on him and started crying.

Master Zeng hurriedly sent someone to invite a doctor, but the doctor had already gone to invite him, but Zeng Xuehai couldn't do it.

He stared ferociously at Master Zeng with wide-eyed eyes, but his hands tightly strangled his neck as if he was about to suffocate, his mouth kept repeating the "help me" mouth shape, and finally he didn't catch his breath, and when he let go of his hands, he disappeared completely. breathe.

The doctor just arrived, but he was unable to recover.

He caught a glimpse of the overturned soup by the bed, lay down and smelled it, tasted it, and said in horror: "Who added ginseng to this medicine, my son is allergic to ginseng, but you can't eat it!"

When Ye Ling heard this, her legs were so weak that she almost fell down. The medicine she personally watched did not let go of ginseng.

"It's not me..." She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she backed away again and again, but Master Zeng only looked at her with red eyes: "You still said it wasn't you, you were the one who took the medicine yesterday, and you took it alone Come feed!"

"It's really not me. How could I kill my husband? If he dies, what good will I gain..." Ye Ling cried, seeing his hesitant expression, just about to say that Aunt Die also came last night But before she could say anything, someone reported that Aunt Die committed suicide.

Ye Ling's mind began to buzz, Aunt Die was arrogantly mocking Wang Ruyan with her yesterday, why did she commit suicide today?

"And..." The mother-in-law hesitated.

Madam Zeng looked at her impatiently: "What else?"

Then the mother-in-law lowered her head and said, "Auntie Die has a baby in her belly, and it has been three months."

"What?" Upon hearing the words, Master Zeng immediately turned his head to stare at Ye Ling, and said coldly, "Come on, drag her down to me and beat her to death!"

"No, master, it's none of my business, I didn't kill..."

No matter how much Ye Ling explained, no one was willing to listen to her. After one son and one grandson died, Master Zeng was so angry that he lost his mind.

When Lin Jinhua went to the palace, she deliberately passed by Zeng's mansion. When she saw that the servants were busy putting up white silk, she knew that the person was dead.

When I was leaving, I saw a man in his 30s hovering in front of the mansion. He was dressed in a white-washed brown suit, and his blue beard should have been trimmed. Until the servant impatiently threw out a sentence: "Aunt Die has died in love, you can go, you don't have to look for her again."

After the little servant finished speaking, the man seemed to have aged in an instant, his waist was hunched, and his expectant eyes became hollow. He staggered and took two steps forward, then knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Die Niang, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you..."

Lin Jinhua looked at him beating his feet and chest, and her heart felt sour for no reason. She thought that the words of the talented man and the beautiful woman were just a script, but now that she thinks about it, it may be true.

"Miss..." Mo Feng was also moved with compassion.

Lin Jinhua just shook her head slightly: "There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. If you ask him, you still have to take the exam. If you don't want to, give him silver and let him go."

Hearing this, Mo Feng immediately took the silver and went there, but after the man cried, he didn't answer, didn't take the silver, and left.

Lin Jinhua knew that she couldn't force it, so she took a look at the deep mansion in Zeng's mansion before letting someone drive the carriage away.

The carriage passed through the hustle and bustle of the crowd, looking at those simple-faced people looking for a living, although it was harder, but emotionally more complete than myself, I couldn't help but envy.

The carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace smoothly. Before she got out of the carriage, she saw Wang Huiyuan coming out of the carriage, walking in a hurry. She must have heard about Zeng Xuehai and wanted to check it out.

She didn't get out of the carriage until Wang Huiyuan left.

Mrs. Wang knew she was coming, and her emotions were very complicated. She was grateful that she was willing to come, but also worried that Wang Ruyan would be stimulated when she saw her, so she just welcomed her to the flower hall and apologized for looking at her: "Ruyan has become a little strange, I want her Slowly."

Lin Jinhua looked at Mrs. Wang who had lost a lot of weight, and smiled understandingly: "Then I'll come back later."

"Hmm." Mrs. Wang nodded slightly, but she was unable to smile again. Her son made such a mistake to his daughter, and she, the mother, was the one who hurt the most. Even if she wanted to seek justice for her daughter, she didn't know what to do. .

Lin Jinhua said goodbye and was about to leave, when she saw Luo Shangshu and Wang Yushi whispering something and came in from the outside, with serious expressions, it seemed that there was something very important.

When Luo Shangshu looked up and saw Lin Jinhua, he frowned and his eyes were a little complicated.

Lin Jinhua looked at his expression, as if the matter had something to do with her, and after seeing Li, she asked, "Master Shangshu, is Mrs. Luo feeling better?"

"It's much better, but..." He looked at Wang Yushi, and then said to her: "The Huijue appointed by the Queen Mother seems to have noticed the Gu worm, but fortunately my mother didn't say anything, but Miss Lin, once this matter happens, Disclosure, you are afraid that you will also be involved, after all, you discovered those Gu worms."

"What?" Mrs. Wang was very surprised.

Luo Shangshu glanced at her, sighed slightly, and said: "Forget it, you talk first, I will discuss this with Wang Yushi." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left.

Wang Yushi also lost a lot of weight, nodded to Lin Jinhua, and followed.

Mrs. Wang's face was full of worry: "How could there be such evil things as Gu worms in the capital?"

"Ma'am, don't worry." Lin Jinhua looked at the direction Luo Shangshu was leaving. He must be so anxious not only because of Huijue, but because there must be some clues in the palace. Did Zhao Kan show his flaws and be targeted by others?Tomorrow is Chun Wei, if Gu worms are found on Zhao Kan's people, it will definitely cause riots, and the emperor will definitely punish him severely. Even if Zhao Kan cannot be removed, Zheng Ruyi will be more than enough to get rid of.

After thinking this way, she turned around and wanted to leave, but she saw Wang Ruyan standing outside the door at some point.

Seeing the surprise on her face, Wang Ruyan smiled slightly and said, "Jinhua, you came to see me."

"Yeah." Seeing that she was still very calm, Lin Jinhua always felt uneasy, and took a step forward to hold her hand, but she quickly avoided it, but she smelled a strange fragrance from her body.

"Today, my mother and I are going to pick out pens, inks, papers and inkstones for my brother to use in tomorrow's exam. Do you know which one is particularly useful? If my brother uses good pens and inks, the exam will go smoothly." She smiled lightly. .

Lin Jinhua looked at her without a trace of warmth in her smile. Thinking of her hand on Zeng Xuehai, she hesitated: "Ru Yan, you don't need to prepare these."

"Ruyan..." Mrs. Wang also wanted to persuade her, but Wang Ruyan only smiled sweetly: "Even if my brother is sorry for me, but he is doing it for my own good, and he is my own brother. There is nothing I can't forgive."

Lin Jinhua felt more and more that something was wrong, but Mrs. Wang just took her hand and nodded in comfort: "I'm sorry for you."

Wang Ruyan shook her head slightly: "Mother loves Ruyan so much, Ruyan doesn't feel hard."

Mrs. Wang burst into tears. Seeing their mother and daughter's deep love, Lin Jinhua couldn't persuade her anymore, she only worried about looking at Wang Ruyan and said, "Don't do anything stupid at any time."

"I know. It's getting late, Jinhua, you should go back first." Wang Ruyan smiled slightly.

Lin Jinhua was worried about her, but she also knew that she had no choice but to leave first, but as soon as she left, Wang Ruyan held her heart and held the side of the door and began to cry in a low voice. How much she wanted to ask Mr. Lin. She wanted to tell Jinhua that she wanted to die every day and was unhappy every day, but she knew she couldn't say it, she was no longer qualified.

Mrs. Wang was heartbroken, and stepped forward to hug her: "Yan'er, my mother is sorry for you..."

Wang Ruyan couldn't cry, but it was her mother who was sorry for her. The one who was sorry for her was clearly her elder brother whom she had always loved and respected.

Lin Jinhua glanced back at the door, and she remembered the strange fragrance just now, it was none other than the fragrance of datura flowers, if she were in Wang Huiyuan's ink tomorrow, Wang Huiyuan would not die, but she would miss this year's spring .He had prepared for so long to wait for a grand plan to take revenge on himself. If Chunwei loses, he will definitely collapse.

After getting into the carriage, she softly said to Mo Feng, "Go to Zheng's Mansion." Tomorrow there must be a reason to lure Zheng Ruyi out, but what Lin Jinhua didn't expect was that Zheng Ruyi was no longer at the mansion, so Even Zhao Kan couldn't find anyone.

When Zhao Kan knew that Zheng Ruyi was gone and Qu Kong was gone, he knew something bad was going on, so he asked for an order and went to the palace without thinking too much about it. He was stopped by the concubine Jia who was in charge of Liugong.

The palace maid looked at the concubine Jia who was gently pruning the flowers and leaves, and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want this servant to send the news to Empress Defei?"

Concubine Jia's subordinates exerted force, and the flowers that bloomed just right were cut off. The maids hurriedly lowered their heads, but Concubine Jia only smiled softly: "What are you afraid of? Now the empress of the middle palace is the queen after all, and I'm just an assistant to the sixth palace." , of course you have to ask the Empress Dowager for the news, if the Empress Dowager says no, then don’t send it.”

The palace maid changed her mind slightly, and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is still smart."

The concubine Jia's face was as gentle as spring water, but she just indifferently stepped on the flowers that had just been cut off, turned and walked towards the queen's palace.
