Chapter 74

Lin Jinhua's carriage arrived in front of Zheng's mansion, and found that many people surrounded the gate of Zheng's mansion, pointing inside from time to time.

Mo Feng went up to ask first, and after a while, he returned to the carriage with a worried face, and said softly to Lin Jinhua: "Miss, Mrs. Zheng died suddenly while being escorted to the Yamen. I was just sent back, but Zheng Ruyi disappeared, and now a group of people are saying that Mrs. Zheng was killed by her, and now she is hiding and dare not see anyone."

"Zheng Ruyi is not such a thin-skinned person. If she doesn't show up, something must have happened." Lin Jinhua understood Zheng Ruyi's temperament. If she was here, she would definitely come out and explain to everyone, so that she would not be so passive.

Mo Feng thought for a while, and said: "The servant girl will go and inquire first."

Lin Jinhua nodded slightly, and only listened to the discussion of the person at the door, most of which were words like 'unfilial', and didn't talk about Gu worms.

The servants of Zheng's mansion were preparing for the funeral in an orderly manner. It can be seen that if something happened to Zheng Ruyi, the person who did it must be very secretive.But who?Zhao Kan?
Just as she was thinking, she saw a young man in black and narrow sleeves coming out of the crowd. He seemed to be from Prince Jing's mansion. Kan took it away?

Mo Feng also noticed the boy, and quietly walked out from the other side of the crowd with his eyes downcast, and then quickly arrived at the carriage, and explained the situation just now: "Your servant heard that she went out by herself, but she never came back after she left." return."

"Do you know who is looking for her?"

"The servant said it was a young boy in gray clothes. I don't know the details." Mo Feng shook his head.

Lin Jinhua was also a little silent when she heard the words, and the people who looked at Zhao Kan also left disappointed, so she could only say: "In that case, let's leave first."

Mo Feng nodded.

After Lin Jinhua's carriage circled around the city, she didn't go directly back to Xu's mansion, but went to the silk and satin village first.

This Ms. Zhang is indeed a talent. After Lin Jinhua handed over the shop to her, she came up with a lot of ideas, and wrote them down in a neat and orderly manner. Although the handwriting was crooked, she could barely recognize it.

Standing at the table, Zhang Xiaofang looked at her master, whom she had never seen before, and her beautiful face, and couldn't help feeling that this ancient water was so good that it raised such classical and refined beauties.

Sensing her gaze, Lin Jinhua lightly put down her so-called "planning case" in her hand, and smiled slightly: "What's wrong?"

"It's all right." Zhang Xiaofang shook her head quickly, and looked at her with a smile: "Master, do you think it's all right?"

Lin Jinhua smiled. In her previous life, she knew about these plans of hers, but it was not comprehensive. She only knew that she had lost a lot at the beginning.After briefly pointing out a few questions, she said: "If you have confidence, you can let go, but there is one thing..."

Zhang Xiaofang was already very happy to hear what she said earlier, and hurriedly asked, "What else?"

"It can't be done in my name, let alone in the name of Xu's family. To put it another way, when the industry starts in the future, I don't want anyone to know that it's in my name. Do you understand?" Lin Jinhua smiled lightly. Being stared at is useless, what if you don't leave a way out for yourself.

Zhang Xiaofang blinked and hesitated: "If there are no high-ranking officials to rely on, it may be difficult to do business in the capital."

"Naturally someone will support you." Lin Jinhua smiled: "The Pingxi Palace neither participates in the struggle between the court and the party, but also has certain strengths. Besides, they are also preparing their own forces in private to save their lives in future competitions. They must need money. .”

"Master, you want me to seek their cooperation?"

"Princess Yuan has made many friends, and in a few days it will be King Pingxi's birthday. Isn't this timing just right? They only need to be your reliance, and you give them [-]% of the shares. It's the best of both worlds." Lin Jinhua looked at her with a light smile and frowned in thought. The way she looked, she knew she was thinking.

It wasn't long before Zhang Xiaofang looked at her and said seriously: "Master, if they don't sell anything, they will get [-]% of the shares. Is it too much?"

Lin Jinhua shook her head slightly, and understood that she was young and did not understand the affairs of the capital, so she said, "Thirty percent of the stock, they will protect you and do business safely, but they cannot interfere with your business. King Pingxi is a timid and cautious person, and he is afraid of it. Intervene, even if there is a problem in the future, he will not betray you, you just say that you are a wealthy businessman from the southwest, and vaguely imply that he has some relationship with the Xiong family behind the scenes." Even though King Pingxi wanted to follow the queen, he did not appear on the surface. But it's not obvious, which means that they don't want to offend Concubine De, so they revealed that there is Xiong's family behind them, and he will definitely not do something betrayal to avoid causing trouble to his upper body.

Zhang Xiaofang had already inquired about these forces in the capital, and her eyes lit up immediately, it was really unusual for this ancient lady to have so much thought at such a young age.

"Also, give King Pingxi [-]% of the shares, and you get [-]%." Lin Jinhua said.

Zhang Xiaofang's thoughts, which were still in the middle of a small calculation just now, suddenly became clear. In this way, it is not a dream for her to become rich and reach the pinnacle of her life!
"Deal!" she said boldly.

Mo Feng raised her eyebrows slightly, and then she came to her senses, stood upright and smiled and said, "Don't worry, master, but since you can't use the names of the Lin and Xu families, what should you use?"

"An, peaceful Ann." Lin Jinhua smiled.

Zhang Xiaofang responded immediately.

When leaving, Lin Jinhua glanced at the silk and satin shop full of guests, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she went out and got into the carriage.

After leaving, Mo Feng asked her with some doubts: "Although this Miss Zhang has a lot of ideas, she doesn't look like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Can she do it?"

"She can do it. Even if she can't, Zhu Wucai has managed to train a group of old shopkeepers and some capable people. The left is just a loss, and there is no rush. Let her do it." She is already predicting the future. People, knowing that Zhang Xiaofang can do it, don't worry so much.

The carriage passed through this busy city, and soon stopped at the entrance of a small alley. Mo Feng stopped at the entrance of the alley as usual, and Lin Jinyu found an unremarkable house, and knocked lightly on the door three times. After a long time, a low male voice came from inside: "Who?"

"Me." Lin Jinhua didn't recognize this male voice, but it was probably the one who was trained by the sixth child.

The people inside paused, and after a short while there was a sound of quick footsteps, and when the rear door latch was moved, Lin Jinhua saw the sixth son who hadn't seen him for several days.

The sixth child grew up very quickly, and his skin was much fairer. His eyes with single eyelids became more energetic. The moment he saw Lin Jinhua, he was full of smiles: "Why did Miss come here in person?"

"Passing by, let's take a look." Lin Jinhua caught a glimpse of the tall man in black behind him, saw his face was cold and hard, and his eyes glanced at him sharply, and his doubts about the sixth child slowly accumulated in his heart.

"Miss, come inside first. I have been training people for the past few days, and I have just inquired about the news in the capital, and I haven't had time to report back." The sixth child stepped aside and said.

Lin Jinhua glanced at the closed second door, she could feel the chilling aura in the yard, she took two steps forward before smiling slightly: "I just happened to come to ask you, do you know who Zheng Ruyi was killed by? It was taken?"

When the sixth child heard the words, he was not suspicious, he just said: "I only found out that he went out of the city, but I don't know who it is."

"Do you know where it went?"

"I don't know, although that person is not from the capital city, he seems to be very familiar with the capital city, so he quickly pushed my people away." He said.

Lin Jinhua frowned, thought for a while, then turned around and left the courtyard again, and said, "Since that's the case, send someone to look for it. Tomorrow will be Chunwei. I'm worried that something will happen."

"Yes." Lao Liu hurriedly nodded. After finishing speaking, he saw Lin Jinhua turned around and walked out of the house again. He paused and said, "Miss, I don't know how Mr. Lin is doing now? Is there news from the southwest?"

Lin Jinhua's eyes were deep, and she was silent for a while, then shook her head helplessly: "Uncle said he was asking someone for help, but they refused to tell me the news, so I don't know what's going on, and I don't have anyone available right now. Can't find..."

"What about His Highness Prince Ning, didn't he help you find it?" Lao Liu asked.

Lin Jinhua looked at him with more doubts: "His Royal Highness King Ning was ordered to go to the border, but he also sent his subordinates to look for it. I don't know what the situation is. Yesheng, why did you suddenly ask this?"

The old sixth's face turned serious, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and smiled, "I'm afraid that Miss will be worried all the time, so I asked."

Hearing this, Lin Jinhua smiled helplessly: "Brother is a lucky man, and I also believe that uncle will do his best." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

After she left, Lao Liu stood at the door and took a deep look, then turned and left.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Jinhua's complexion turned cold instantly, and there was nothing but helplessness in her heart.

Sitting on the side of the carriage, Mo Feng saw that she was not in the right mood, and asked, "What's wrong, miss?"

"I had people check the identity of the sixth child before, didn't they find anything?" Lin Jinhua asked.

"I will ask Mo Yue when I go back today." Mo Feng said, after finishing speaking, seeing her slightly cold face, he said again: "But there is something wrong with the sixth child?"

"I can't tell. What he is doing now is indeed following my orders, but he always feels that something is wrong." Lin Jinhua also hesitated. The sixth child looked at her with no malice in his eyes, but this person seemed to have changed. Just now In the beginning, she just ran into him in the alley. He was still a beggar at that time, and she seemed to be a useful person before she started to cultivate him. But in less than half a year, he seemed to have changed too much.

Lin Jinhua remembered that he asked his brother and Huaiyan just now, and always felt that there was something wrong, and the man behind him looked at him not only without respect, but with some scrutiny and coldness.

Thinking like this, he went back to Xu Mansion all the way, but when he reached the gate of Xu Mansion, he heard crying from inside.

She was startled, and hurriedly asked the woman at the door: "What's the matter?"

"It's Miss. When I went out today, the horse was startled. She rolled off the horse and is still unconscious." When Xu Zhaozhao grew up, when he thought of her suffering, he felt very uncomfortable.

After hearing this, Lin Jinhua hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran to Xu Zhaozhao's yard.

At that time, the maids and women in and out of the yard were wiping their tears and crying quietly. Lin Jinhua trotted all the way to the room, only to see Mrs. Xu sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes and crying softly, and Xu Chengqing with a face full of tears. Standing on the side coldly, I don't know what to think.

The person who came to check the pulse was Imperial Physician Lu from the palace. Xu Boshan directly asked the emperor, and the emperor personally appointed him. However, Imperial Physician Lu is a model of arrogance. Before he could not cure Zheng Jiaojiao, he asked Lin Jinyu to treat her. Well, he didn't know how long he had been scolded by his colleagues, but now seeing Lin Jinhua coming again, he immediately withdrew his hand to take the pulse coldly, and said, "There is no way to recover, since the Xu family still has a genius doctor, let's call the genius doctor, the old man can't do anything."

"You..." Xu Chengqing's face turned greener with anger, but Royal Physician Lu just hummed softly at Lin Jinhua, turned around and asked someone to clean up his medicine box.

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua gritted her teeth slightly, holding back her anger and stepped forward to look at Xu Zhaozhao who was unconscious. His head must have hit a heavy object, and the thick white gauze wrapped around him was stained with blood again.Only now did she feel her pulse, and she was really angry.

"How is it? A genius doctor?" Seeing her feel her pulse, Royal Physician Lu asked directly provocatively, full of arrogance.

Lin Jinhua looked at his age and didn't want to argue with him, so she just held back her temper and said, "Although Zhaozhao's pulse is weak, it's not dead. Why did Royal Physician Lu say such vicious words as lack of skills?"

"you……"

"I'm not a genius doctor, but Royal Physician Lu is really a quack doctor. He can't even cure a small injury. What kind of royal family is called? You don't have the kindness of a doctor. I used to think of you as an imperial doctor in the palace today." .1, now it seems that I really have blind eyes, and I didn't see clearly that you are just a mediocre and swindled mediocrity!" Lin Jinhua became more and more cruel.

Doctor Lu immediately raised his beard so angry that he threw the medicine box in his hand to the ground: "Little Huangkou, if you have any skills, come and point out that I am mediocre!"

"Didn't Royal Physician Lu still call me a miracle doctor?" Lin Jinhua became more sarcastic.

After hearing this, Royal Physician Lu's chest heaved more and more. He took a few quick breaths, sat down on the round stool just now, and put his hand on Xu Zhaozhao's pulse: "Although this pulse is not exhausted, but the neck bone Damaged, more seriously injured the head, even if I can hang this life, I can't save this person..."

Lin Jinhua took a look at the few medical books he carried with him, they were all models of medicine at that time, but a person like Royal Physician Lu, who came from a family of orthodox imperial doctors, would disdain to read the methods of "folk prescriptions" written by famous folk doctors and unknown ancient books of.

Lin Jinhua immediately said: "Wait a minute." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran towards his yard. After a while, he picked up a stack of books and put them in his arms: "I have seen someone write that the head Injuries, as long as they are treated in a timely manner, supplemented with mild medicines to heal the bones first, then use strong medicines to disperse the congestion, and finally treat with ordinary medicines, you can recover from this example, sir, don’t you know?”

"I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never heard of..."

"It doesn't mean it can't be done." Lin Jinhua looked at him, "Miss Zheng Jiaojiao's illness, my lord didn't even notice it with ordinary methods?"

This incident was a shameful shame to Dr. Lu. Hearing this, she almost jumped into a rage, and clutched her book tightly: "Just try it, kid with a yellow mouth, I want to see your study tour skills in my hands." How much can you play here!"

Lin Jinhua's heart finally fell. She could cure all kinds of strange diseases, but Xu Zhaozhao did not dare to ignore her, especially in the current situation. Naturally, Lu Yuyi, who had experienced many battles, was more reliable.

She breathed a sigh of relief, showing a smile, and her voice was not as loud as before, she just smiled lightly and said: "Lu Yu is the number one imperial doctor of the Jin Dynasty, this prescription is in your hands, and it will definitely be able to exert its full potential." Ten percent of the medicinal effect."

Doctor Lu was taken aback, and muttered a few times, but he didn't refute. He just turned his head and told the medicine boy to buy medicine, and began to study the medical records in the book again.

Xu Boshan, who was sitting upright on one side, seemed to have finally breathed out, and Mrs. Xu also softened her body and quietly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Xu Chengqing called Lin Jinyu to come out, and when he was outside the courtyard, he finally said, "It's thanks to your aggressive tactics, Lu Yuyi is an old man who is proud and stingy, if you hadn't come, I'm afraid he would have given up his pick and left."

"Zhaozhao's situation is really dangerous." Lin Jinhua could understand Lu Yuyi's thoughts, and only asked: "Why did Zhaozhao have an accident? Has anyone investigated?"

When Xu Chengqing thought of this, his face turned cold: "I don't know yet. Zhao Zhaofei was going to buy me some good pens, inks, papers and inkstones this morning, but when he rode to the market, he suddenly went crazy and threw her off. , but I personally picked Zhaozhao’s horse, the most docile and close to Zhaozhao, I would never do such a thing, someone must have tampered with it.”

"Could it be someone from the mansion?" Lin Jinhua asked, Xu Zhaozhao's horse was specially taken care of, and she couldn't think of anyone else except the people from Xu's mansion.

"I doubt it too, but I haven't changed my face yet. That person will show his feet soon. If he finds it..." Xu Chengqing gritted his teeth. If he finds it, he will not let it go easily!
Lin Jinhua wondered if there were people from Concubine De in this mansion. When the Xu family entered Beijing, Concubine De had arranged for people to stay in Xu's mansion. After finding out later, the Xu family was very strict and dismissed anyone who had problems. It is impossible for someone to arrange someone to come in again.

She thought for a while, but after all it was speculation, so she didn't tell him, she just said: "Look for someone to take care of Zhaozhao, tomorrow will be Chunwei, cousin, don't affect your mood."

Xu Chengqing took a deep breath, and looked into the distance with firm eyes: "Tomorrow, I will definitely get the best ranking!"

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua felt a little more at ease. She was most worried that Xu Chengqing's mood would be affected by this, and she would fall into other people's tricks.

Back in the small courtyard, Lin Jinhua saw Mo Xue who was waiting at the door early in the morning, and knowing that she had something to say, she entered and said, "I want to take a bath, Mo Feng and Mo Xue will take care of me, and the others will retreat."

The subordinates all responded and retreated one after another.

After arriving at the room and closing the door, Mo Xue stepped forward and said, "Miss, did this servant find out who the person who killed Miss Xu is?"

"Yes?"

"Mo'er, who has a good friend with the stable, was originally served by our yard, but was transferred to the laundry room by my uncle for some reason. The slave girl originally wanted to tell my uncle about this directly, but when I followed her, I found that she was in private. You actually asked someone to bring the letter to the palace." Mo Xue said.

"Have you ever intercepted the letter?" Mo Feng asked.

Mo Xue nodded, pulled out a piece of letter paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Lin Jinhua with both hands: "In order not to startle the snake, this copy was copied, and the original copy has already been sent away."

Lin Jinhua nodded, opened the letter paper and saw the first column of words, and realized that something was wrong, because the first sentence at the beginning was 'Jing De Concubine Niang Niang'.

Before she finished reading it, she put down the letter paper and frowned slightly: "This letter is for you to read on purpose, you should look for Mo'er now, she is probably dead."

Mo Xue frowned slightly, Mo Feng immediately went out to check, and came back soon with a serious expression: "Dead, he was found hanged in the room."

"You were used by her." Lin Jinhua looked at the letter again, and sighed slightly: "That person probably knows that you will be watching the situation in the mansion, so he deliberately made it for you to see, otherwise you would be aware of the relationship between her and others." Tongtong also sent a letter, why didn't she realize that she had received an order to attack Zhaozhao?
"Then this letter... isn't for Concubine De?" Mo Xue asked.

Mo Feng also shook his head: "Concubine De is not stupid, how could someone write her name directly on the secret letter, someone must have deliberately done it to make the Xu family an enemy of Concubine De."

Lin Jinhua also nodded, looked at the letter in her hand again, and folded it carefully.

Hearing this, Mo Xue said solemnly: "Then what should I do, the person is dead too, I'm afraid the clue is broken."

Lin Jinhua gave her the folded letter, but instead smiled: "Since it's for Concubine De, then you should find a way to send it to Concubine De. We can't find out who it is, and Concubine De will always find ways to find out who is the victim." she."

Mo Xue's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Lin Jinhua with admiration: "Miss is smart, servant girl will do it now."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded slightly: "Don't let people in the mansion find out that you sent this letter, there must be other eyes and ears in this mansion."

"Yes."

Mo Xue went down to do it immediately, and the letter was delivered to Concubine De very quickly.

Concubine De was already angry that Concubine Jia was promoted to Xian Concubine at the instigation of the Empress, she never expected to receive such a letter.

"Nonsense, when did this concubine let someone harm the daughter of the Xu family?" She hammered the table angrily, and then looked at the maid below: "Who sent the letter?"

"Someone put it on the head of the servant's bed, and the servant does not know." The maid knelt on the ground and shivered.

Concubine De thought about it, and indeed, now that the concubine Jia is only in charge of the Sixth Palace, even her people are not allowed to go out of the palace to make purchases, so how could it be possible for people from outside the palace to come in and send her news?
She snorted mockingly: "Before, I thought this concubine Jia was timid and cowardly, but I never thought that she is still a character. If she wants to climb on the head of my concubine, it depends on how capable she is!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside: "Concubine Xian is here..."

When Concubine De heard this, her complexion turned greener.

Not long after, I saw a dignified woman with blue wide sleeves embroidered with peonies embroidered with gold thread.As she walked slowly, the gold hairpin on her head almost dazzled Concubine De's eyes.

As soon as Concubine De saw her, she didn't get up, she just sneered and said: "Sister Jia concubine is really lucky, she can't stop it, yesterday it was a daylily that no one cared about, today it has become a flower in a vase Flowers, but wild flowers are wild flowers after all, so it’s fine to put them in a vase to make them fresh, and they won’t be on the table.”

Concubine Xian's face was gentle and gentle, not annoyed at all, she smiled gently: "My younger sister has met Sister De Concubine, sister Wanfu Jin'an."

"If you want me to be safe and blessed, then you don't come here, otherwise, don't say these false words. This concubine has a heart disease and can't listen to such hypocritical words." Concubine De sarcastically mercilessly.

Concubine Xian still smiled gently, and said: "My sister came today for three things. After finishing the three things, I will leave immediately, and I will never disturb my sister's cleanliness."

Concubine De clenched her hands slightly when she heard the words, and heard her say: "The first thing is, the queen mother ordered my sister to investigate the piranha. Now my sister has found out that the Southwest Xiong's family happened to raise this fish, and someone saw it with their own eyes a few days ago. The Xiong family sent a big box to my sister all the way."

"That's a seasonal fruit that my father entrusted someone to deliver." Concubine De said immediately.

"But no one opened the verification, did they?"

"People in my palace..."

Concubine Xian smiled: "Sister's own palace, how dare they say that sister is wrong."

Concubine De was dumbfounded, and she continued: "Second thing, my sister heard what the maid beside the empress said, and saw it with her own eyes that day, it was the maid beside my sister who pushed Miss Lin into the lake, but Miss Lin would The water swam to the shore just in time..."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Concubine De's complexion became darker and darker.

Concubine Xian looked at her tenderly: "Sister, don't worry, I will ask Miss Lin to come to the Queen Mother to report these things my sister found out, and I think she won't lie."

Concubine De slapped the table and stood up, walked directly to her and stared at her sharply: "Don't think I don't know what you want to do? Concubine Xian, do you really think that you can climb on top of me by assisting Liugong?" Is it? Let me tell you, you are still too young!"

Concubine Xian was still not annoyed, she only looked at her with a little pity, and said: "The third thing, people in your palace just sent news that you arranged for people to enter Xu's mansion, and caused the daughter of the Xu family to fall into a coma Sister, Lord Xu is the most important minister of the emperor now, if you do this, you will offend Longwei."

"It's not me at all..." Concubine De was halfway through speaking, and she suddenly understood: "It's all your fault, right? You have been dormant for so many years, so that all of us almost forgot to deal with you, but you set up such a plan for me. Many traps, you..."

Before Concubine De could finish her sentence, the maid behind Xian Concubine came forward to separate her, saying: "Why do you have to speak so harshly to my master?"

Concubine De didn't take herself seriously when she saw a maid in the palace, she slapped her down with a slap, everyone inside and outside Yonghe Palace heard it.

Concubine Xian was still neither surprised nor angry, she only looked at her with a slight smile: "It seems that my sister is unwilling to admit it, but it's okay, my sister will tell the queen mother, the queen mother is always fair, and will definitely give her justice." After finishing speaking, she glanced halfway The maid with a rapidly swollen face turned her head and left the Yonghe Palace.

When she was outside the palace, Concubine Xian glanced at the maid and said with a smile, "When you're in front of the Empress Dowager, do you know what to say?"

"Concubine De wants to beat the empress, but the slaves stepped forward to stop her. That's why Concubine De beat her like this." The maid said with downcast eyes.

Concubine Xian smiled, and then walked away.

At this time, Concubine De was already mad. If someone dared to come to her place to yell at her, how could she bear it? Immediately said: "Go, summon Lin Jinhua and Mrs. Xu immediately!"

"Yes." The maid hurriedly responded and went out, but she came back after a while: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Xianfei has issued an order not to allow the servants to leave the Yonghe Palace for half a step, otherwise they will be beheaded."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De gritted her silver teeth: "I think she dares to stop me!" After saying that, she went out aggressively herself.

Gui Zhi, who had been following behind her all the time, saw her being provoked like this by a few words, and felt ironic in her heart.Now that she breaks out to make trouble now, even if the queen mother and the emperor know that she did not do the thing, if they still want to take the opportunity to suppress the Xiong family, she probably won't be able to ask for it.

Although she saw through it, she didn't say a word and just followed with lowered eyes.

It was already afternoon when Lin Jinhua was summoned.After she sent away the messenger in the palace, she turned around to look at the peanuts in the room and the 1000 taels of silver note he brought, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, but miss..." Peanut looked at her hesitantly: "I have a brother who is sick, and the sixth brother has been busy and has no time to see us. Can you give me ten pennies, and I will buy a pair of medicine... "

"Lao Liu has no time to see you?" Lin Jinhua paused slightly. The intelligence agency that Lao Liu said was going to be established at the time was mainly staffed by these beggars in the capital. How could he have no time to see them?

"Well, he seems to be busy with important things, so it's not good for us to quarrel with him." Peanut gritted his teeth slightly.

Lin Jinhua's complexion sank slightly, and she turned around and asked someone to give him two taels of silver: "Go to the doctor first, and buy some food for the rest. Where do you live now?"

"I still live in the old ruined temple. The sixth brother said that it is easy to take cover, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The sixth brother bought us a quilt. It is not cold, but it is wet when it rains..." As Peanut spoke, his tone weakened, and he lowered his head as if he had said something wrong.

Lin Jinhua knew that going on like this was not an option, and it seemed like it was not a wise decision to rely on the sixth child.

She looked at Mo Feng and Mo Xue, they were already familiar faces now, but Mo Yue, who was just called by Mo Feng to talk back, didn't show up much.

"Mo Yue, you don't have to go out tonight, wait for me to come back, I have something to tell you."

Mo Yue roughly guessed it, and nodded respectfully: "I understand."

Only then did Lin Jinhua change her clothes and leave the Xu residence.

Before getting into the carriage of the Xu Mansion, he saw Wang Huiyuan who had been wandering around the gate of the Xu Mansion. His eyes were a little heavy, his eyelids were drooping, and he looked a little sinister.

Seeing Lin Jinhua, he immediately stepped forward and asked loudly, "Did you kill Zeng Xuehai?"

Seeing his crazy appearance, Lin Jinhua chuckled lightly: "Master Wang has misunderstood something. I have no grievances with Mr. Zeng, how can I harm him?"

"You are here to avenge Ru Yan!"

"Revenge?" Lin Jinhua looked at him amusedly: "Does the prince also think it's revenge? I thought you thought it was kindness, but now that Ruyan has suffered so much, she will not be able to hold her head up in the future, and will face you all day long. "

Wang Huiyuan showed a bit of pain on his face, but it was quickly covered up by anger: "I warn you, don't meddle in Ru Yan's affairs, and you are not allowed to go to Wang's house again. You Lin family are all cruel and merciless villains. I won't let you Hurt Ruyan."

"I hurt him, or you?" Lin Jinhua took a cold look at Wang Huiyuan, who hadn't repented yet, and walked directly towards the carriage. Wang Huiyuan wanted to stop him again, but was stopped by the guards of the Xu residence.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Jinhua's carriage until the carriage disappeared, then he pushed the guards who were blocking him away with a snort, turned his head and left.

Lin Jinhua leaned in the carriage, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling on the bluestone road, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. After a while, the carriage stopped, and she calmed down all her emotions and got out of the carriage.

He just got out of the carriage and saw Zhao Kan talking at the gate of the palace. When he got closer, he found out that he was the one who invited Concubine De to see him, but he never got a response and was stopped by someone. He suspected that someone did it on purpose.

She stepped forward to meet the ceremony, and Zhao Kan stopped his voice, put away the anger on his face, turned to look at her, and said in a deep voice, "You want to enter the palace?"

"Yes, the Empress Dowager summoned me." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she also knew that Concubine De must have been plotted against, but the person who plotted against Concubine De seemed to have plotted against Concubine De and herself and the Xu family, and played a good move.

When Zhao Kan heard this, his eyes were a little complicated, and he looked at her and said, "Do you know what happened?"

The person who delivered the decree to Lin Jinhua didn't say anything, but Lin Jinhua also guessed that she really wanted to use someone's hand to get rid of Concubine De, but that person shouldn't have touched Zhao Zhao, and almost killed Zhao Zhao.

She looked at the guards at the gate of the palace, shook her head lightly, and said: "There hasn't been anything wrong in the palace these few days, maybe it's because of the fact that I was almost eaten by a piranha before. Zhaozhao was framed and fell down again today." I got off the horse, maybe I wanted to express my condolences. It's getting late, and the courtiers won't stay any longer." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she saluted lightly, then turned her head and went inside.

Zhao Kan is not stupid, those things in the palace and today's Xu family's things may all be blamed on Concubine De.

He thought for a while, and immediately left the palace gate, got on the carriage and ordered: "Remove all the Gu worms in the mansion immediately, not one left!"

"But those cost a lot of money..."

"It's just money, if it's gone, it's gone." When the million taels of silver in the firearms store was burned, he could only sigh in relief, but now that all the Gu insects were withdrawn, he was really hurt.But the current situation is like this, he has to save his life first!

Lin Jinhua entered the palace and walked straight to the Empress Dowager's palace. After a short while, she saw a court lady coming up to her.

"It's Miss Lin." The maid said with a gentle smile.

Lin Jinhua nodded when she saw her strange face: "I don't know if my aunt is..."

"I'm with the concubine Xian. The empress is worried that the young lady is afraid, so she specially asked the servants to come and wait earlier, and tell you not to be afraid for a while. You can just answer what the empress dowager asks." The palace maid smiled as she led the way.

Lin Jinhua agreed with a smile, but she was on guard in her heart. She knew about Concubine Jia being promoted to a virtuous concubine. Could it be that she did it this time?
Soon after entering the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace, there were many court ladies and eunuchs standing outside the Palace of Compassion and Peace. When she walked inside, she found that not only the Empress Dowager was there, but even the emperor was there.Concubine Xian stood beside the Queen Mother and gently squeezed her shoulders. When she saw Lin Jinhua approaching, she stopped her hands.

Lin Jinhua glanced at Concubine De who was standing on one side with reddish eyes, lowered her eyes and stepped forward to pay respects one by one, then heard the emperor say, "How is Miss Xu's condition?"

"There is still one breath left. Doctor Lu said that there is no way to recover, and now we can only try our best to treat him." Lin Jinyu told the truth about the situation.

After hearing this, the emperor's expression sank.

The queen mother looked at him, and then said to Lin Jinhua: "I asked you to come today to ask you something, so you have to tell the truth."

"My daughter dare not speak falsely." Lin Jinhua became more and more respectful. Although the queen mother had been eating fast, chanting Buddha and not asking about the affairs of the palace, her eyes were sharp and powerful, as if she could see through people at a glance.

The concubine Xian followed suit and said softly: "Ms. Lin's concubine knows it. She is an honest child. The concubine is now asking you, did you accidentally fall off the bridge that day, or did someone push you?"

Concubine De immediately looked at Lin Jinhua nervously, Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes, and said: "At that time, the maid was only looking at the river, and only felt that there was a force behind her, but she was too flustered at the time, and I don't remember if someone pushed me or I was dizzy. fell forward."

Concubine De heard the words, immediately snorted softly: "My concubine never wanted to harm Miss Lin. Sister Xianfei is disappointed when she hears it now?"

The emperor cast a dissatisfied glance at her who was immediately arrogant, but said nothing.

Concubine Xian was not in a hurry, she just passed on Yun Jiang and those maidservants who came in to reply.

The first time Yun Jiang saw Concubine Xian, his eyes were not friendly, but he quickly lowered his eyelids, and told how Concubine De deliberately obstructed that day, and how he deliberately made Gui Shao follow Lin Jinhua. The court lady even swears that it was Gui Shao who pushed Lin Jinhua down.

Concubine De wanted to defend herself, but she didn't dare to say why Gui Shao was forced to give it away, so she could only say: "There is no proof of death now, you can say whatever you want."

Concubine Xian looked at her, and said: "Maybe my sister wronged you, but what about this thing..." After speaking, she took out a letter from her sleeve, Lin Jinhua only glanced at it, and then He knew it was the letter he sent someone.She was clearly given to Concubine De by others, but now it is in her hands after changing hands, this Concubine Xian is really good at tricks.

Concubine De's complexion turned pale, and she argued forcefully, "It's not my concubine!"

"But Mrs. Xu has found out that my sister has planted eyeliner in Xu's residence before. This time, the letter is not found out by my sister, but sent to my concubine by a maid in your palace." After finishing speaking, a maid from the outside left. When he came in, he glanced coldly at Concubine De, then knelt down on the ground and said to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor: "I also accidentally heard my mother tell someone how to murder the Miss Xu family, and then find a way to put the blame on the concubine Xian." Yes. The servant girl has a straight temper, and couldn't bear the empress to continue to take detours, so she came to expose it, and asked the emperor and queen mother to show mercy and let my empress go, the empress was just confused for a while..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Concubine De was so angry that she couldn't sit still, she stepped forward and kicked her fiercely: "You maidservant, when did I say such a thing, what benefit did you get from Concubine Xian, you want to come and wrong me !"

Concubine Xian immediately knelt down on the ground: "This concubine dare not wrong my sister, and this concubine has the favor of the emperor and empress dowager to assist the Six Palaces. How can I have such ability."

Indeed, if Lin Jinhua hadn't known her a little bit, she would definitely not have done it. After all, no one would have looked down on the former concubine Jia. Who would believe that she has such abilities?
After reading the letter, the emperor immediately slapped the table, and yelled at the mad concubine De in a cold voice: "Stop! As the head of the four concubines, you are so violent and still uttering obscenities. Did it go to the stomach?"

Concubine De was blindfolded by the scolding, but Lin Jinhua could hear something unusual. The emperor only said that she had behaved improperly, but did not accuse her of harming the Xu family. Could it be that the emperor didn't believe it?

The Empress Dowager immediately said: "Concubine De is really immoral. Today, Concubine Xian is just going to pass on a message, so she pretends to beat Concubine Xian, and even beat Concubine Xian's personal servant until her nose is bruised and her face is swollen. Now the piranhas are raised in the palace, with the intention of The evidence for murdering Ms. Lin and the daughter of the Xu family is solid, and she is really unworthy of being a concubine."

The emperor gritted his teeth slightly and did not speak.

Concubine De immediately knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor with her neck stuck: "Your Majesty, you trust my concubine, these concubines really did not do these things."

Concubine Xian glanced at the rebellious maid in Concubine De's palace, and the maid immediately got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, saying: "Your Majesty, don't be obsessed with your obsession, this servant is for your own good, even if the third prince is raised in the mansion Gu worms, the servants have never said anything..."

She stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, but the emperor burst out with murderous intent, looked at De Concubine who was still trying to argue, and said directly: "De Concubine has lost her virtue, she has really lost my trust! From now on, deprive De Concubine Title, downgraded to noble, give the title 'Jing', you also learn how to be respectful and polite!"

Concubine De immediately slumped and sat on the ground, a nobleman, even inferior to the concubine Jia back then.

She cried and shook her head, grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes and continued to beg, but was kicked away by the emperor, and then looked at the rebellious maid: "The servant is unfaithful, I can't keep it, come here, drag it down and beat me to death." !"

The queen mother looked at the furious emperor and said nothing.

Concubine Xian also lowered her eyes respectfully and said nothing, but the emperor looked at Lin Jinhua who was on the ground, and walked away without saying a word.

Lin Jinhua could feel the slight murderous intent and chill when he just looked at her, and her heart sank slightly, but the emperor has probably gone to investigate the Gu worm in Zhao Kan's mansion now, so what about Zheng Ruyi and the man in gray?Is it also in the hands of Concubine Xian?
She looked up at Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian only smiled faintly, as if she had already expected such an ending.
