Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 77
The sky was getting brighter, with overcast clouds covering the sky of the capital, and the spring drizzle was falling, wet the road that was blown dry by the wind last night.

Just as the city gate was opened, a loud sound of a whip being whipped was heard, and then a horse's hoof stepped quickly across a puddle of water, and people on the side of the road opened the door to look outside in shock.

The horse galloped all the way, and finally stopped in front of King Jing's Mansion.

The man on the horse was injured all over his body, and fell off before he dismounted.The attendant in front of the door hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and heard him say: "It was discovered...it was discovered..." After he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and died.

The attendant hurried to the back room again. Zhao Kan had already stayed up for two consecutive nights at this moment, and a green stubble had already appeared on his clean chin. Seeing the attendant talking back and forth in a hurry, his heart finally sank. .

"It wasn't discovered in this king's territory, so I don't think there will be a big accident..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the attendant looked at him with embarrassment: "My lord, Zheng Ruyi was still yelling about such things yesterday, and now that the Gu worms are discovered, I'm afraid they will plant the blame on you first if there is no evidence."

"Then what should I do!" Zhao Kan's face was livid, he hadn't slept for two days and nights, and his temper had become very irritable. Hold on, she will definitely add oil and vinegar..."

Just as he was talking, someone came outside and cautiously poked his head at the door. Seeing that Zhao Kan was losing his temper, he didn't intend to say anything, but Zhao Kan had already seen him, and asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

The young man hurriedly ran in and bowed his waist and said: "My lord, yesterday the young lady of the Xu family was set on fire and burned to death. Now there is news from Xu's residence that the person who set the fire is probably someone who respects the nobles."

"Nonsense, how could it be possible to kill people after the mother and concubine have gone to the cold palace?" He scolded directly, and after speaking, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes instantly became stern: "It must be the concubine Xian's tricks. I find it strange, she is probably the one who messed with it, what a virtuous concubine!"

"My lord, what shall we do?" the attendant asked cautiously.

Zhao Kan snorted softly and looked at him with narrowed eyes: "Didn't you say those Gu worms have been discovered?"

"Yes."

"Words spread out that this king has been terrified, and now he has to pack up and leave the capital to go to the southwest." He looked coldly outside the house, and he had a plan in mind. Do you have this ability!

The sound of the pattering rain falling on the newly plucked green leaves made a slight sound, and only occasionally saw small round birds jumping between the trees.

Lin Jinhua stood on the porch and watched for a while, and saw that Mo Yue had come back with an umbrella, so she turned her head and smiled slightly: "Is it done?"

"It's done, King Jing is not stupid, and the suspicion soon fell on Concubine Xian." She put away her umbrella, wiped a little rainwater off her shoulders, and said respectfully.

"That's good." Lin Jinhua's eyes were dark, and now she just waited for Concubine Xian to take the bait.

The news of the Xu Mansion had spread to the palace long ago. Concubine Xian had already grasped all of this, forcing Zheng Ruyi to impulsively identify Zhao Kan as raising Gu, and let those talented scholars see with their own eyes how terrifying the Gu worm really is. In the end, she killed Xu Zhaozhao and set the blame on the respectable person, so that she would never recover. In the end, she angered the emperor and abolished Zhao Kan.

She took a sip of tea lightly, feeling the bitterness turning sweet, and then looked at her confidant maid: "How is the Xu family?" Will you seek justice for your beloved daughter?

The palace lady bowed her head and replied: "I heard from the news that the Xu family passed out last night due to excessive sadness. Xu Boshan woke up early this morning, and fainted again before he left the house."

"It seems that they really love this daughter." Concubine Xian casually picked up the scissors on one side and trimmed some flowers in the vase before saying, "Do you think this is strange?" Her intuition told her that everything was going well. It went too smoothly, Lin Jinhua is very smart, it's impossible not to notice it at all, how could she not have taken precautions in advance?
"The only thing I feel strange about is that among the people who died last night, there was a man who seemed to belong to us, and the other servant girl didn't know whether he escaped or was arrested, and his whereabouts are still unknown," said the maid.

Concubine Xian paused for a while holding the scissors, and then continued: "Most likely they were taken away."

The maid looked at her: "Then shall we temporarily stop the plan?"

"En." Concubine Xian nodded, even if this arrangement was wasted, she couldn't take risks, she didn't have the capital to take risks.

After finishing speaking, she took people to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay her respects.

When I arrived in the Empress Dowager's Palace, I accidentally saw the Empress Dowager kneeling in front of him and talking to someone.

Concubine Xian stood outside the curtain and waited, but the voices inside could be faintly heard.

"Now the emperor is angry. Most of the examinees yesterday wrote about Gu worms. Today, someone discovered that a large number of Gu worms were found in a secret house on the outskirts of the city. What's more, His Royal Highness King Jing cleaned them up early this morning. The burden is soft and has left the city, it seems to be in the southwest direction." After the nanny returned, the queen mother's face turned cold instantly: "Evils such as Gu worms have always been banned by the Beijing court, but so many have been found in the capital, and the Zheng family's Miss, you actually feed that kind of evil thing with your body."

"Queen, don't be so angry..."

"How can the Ai family not be angry, Kan'er has committed such a foolishness!" The queen mother was slightly annoyed, she didn't like the arrogance of respected nobles and the Xiong family, but she still valued Zhao Kan's grandson.

All the palace people lowered their heads and did not dare to vent their anger.

The Empress Dowager paused for a moment before saying, "Go and find Huijue." Although she still had doubts about Huijue, it was true that he had some abilities, and what he had calculated before was not false.

The palace maid hurriedly took the order, and the queen mother noticed the concubine Xian outside, sighed, and calmed down all her emotions before saying: "Concubine Chuanxian, come in."

When Concubine Xian heard these words outside, she had changed her mind when she came here. If the emperor had no doubts about Zhao Kan's cultivation of Gu, and Zhao Kan himself ran away, then she just took this opportunity to say hello to the nobleman. Catch them all.

After she went inside and greeted her, she looked at the queen mother gently: "Chen Qie copied another copy of the Heart Sutra last night, please see if the word Chen Qie has written better."

The Empress Dowager took the Heart Sutra she handed over, looked at the beautiful handwriting, finally felt a little more relieved, and leaned on the soft cushion on one side with a little relaxation, and said: "You still have the heart, know how to copy these for Ai's family, and don't let Ai The family is upset."

"It is the Empress Dowager who has great blessings, and my concubines are deeply influenced by the Empress Dowager, so they know the beauty of this Buddhism." Concubine Xian's tone was soft and weak, without the slightest flattery, as if she said this sentence sincerely.

The Queen Mother was amused by her, put the Heart Sutra aside, then smiled and pointed to the seat beside her for her to sit down, and said: "It's a good thing that Lao Jiu went to the border, and the emperor will have a reason when he comes back from his experience." Make him king too."

Concubine Xian knew that it was the Empress Dowager giving her grace, so she quickly got up and thanked her, paused, and then said with some pity: "Speaking of Qing'er, the concubine thinks of the girl from the Xu family. It was promised to Qing'er, but news came early this morning that... hey..." She sighed slightly.

The queen mother asked her: "What's the matter?"

"It's the girl from the Xu family. It's really pitiful. I heard that she was set on fire and burned to death last night. Poor Master Xu and Mrs. Xu sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man. She passed out and hasn't woken up until now." The concubine said pitifully.

Her personal maid immediately said: "Your Majesty, the person who strikes is someone who respects the noble, why don't you say..."

Before the maid could finish her sentence, Concubine Xian hurriedly said to her: "The Empress Dowager didn't ask you to answer, let you talk nonsense."

"This servant is also feeling sorry for the Miss Xu family on your behalf. After all, if the Ninth Prince returns, she might also be the future Ninth Prince's concubine..."

"Okay, don't say any more, let's go down." Concubine Xian interrupted her, her face was a little embarrassed, she just got up and greeted the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, it's all because of my concubine's lack of teaching."

The Empress Dowager glanced at the maid indifferently, and only said to Concubine Xian: "Is what she said true?"

"This..." Concubine Xian seemed to be even more embarrassed, and the queen mother only said softly: "Now that something happened to Kan'er, and something like the Xu family happened again, I'm afraid the emperor will be very angry. The Ai family has ignored the affairs of the harem for many years. You should report this matter directly to the emperor, and he will decide how to deal with it."

Concubine Xian's heart finally eased after hearing what the Queen Mother said.This time, it was the daughter of Yipinji Restaurant who was burned alive, and Zhao Kan reported that he was raising Gu again, and the evidence of the crime was convincing. Even if the emperor wanted to protect the nobleman, he might not be able to protect him.

She saluted softly, and then stepped back sideways.

After leaving the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Ning Palace, he glanced at the maid who was close to him: "What should I do with the rest, do you know?"

"Your servant understands." A look of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and when Concubine Xian went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she also turned around to avoid everyone and headed for Changheng Palace where the nobleman lived.The safest way now is to be safe when the emperor is angry and the nobleman dies.

The cloud never dissipated, but the weather was not so sultry anymore.

In the garden in the backyard of the Princess Mansion, Duan Hui looked at his son who was seriously holding a book and sitting in the gazebo reading, and felt relieved. Before he could go up to talk, he saw Mrs. Zhu who was beside Mrs. Ling coming in person.

"Princess." She stood in front of her with downcast eyes.

Although Duanhui respected Mrs. Ling, she was also alienated. When she saw her coming, she just said indifferently: "Is there something wrong with mother?"

Zhu's mother lowered her head and smiled, "Miss Lin is here. The old lady is inconvenient to receive sutras in the Buddhist hall. Please ask the princess to go out and see her."

Duan Hui's black eyebrows that had just been painted today slightly twitched, and she glanced at her coldly, but she also understood the old lady's intentions.Back then, the Princess House refused to help to rescue Lin Jincheng, whose whereabouts are still unknown. It was the Princess House that owed Lin Jinhua once.

"Lead her to the flower hall to wait for me."

"I'm already waiting in the flower hall." Mother Zhu said again.

Hearing this, Duan Hui's face turned a little cold, but he only exhaled slowly, ordered someone to take care of Ling Weiye, and walked away.

When she arrived, Lin Jinhua was standing in the flower hall waiting, as if she was thinking about something and remained motionless until the maid beside her reminded her to turn around.

Duanhui glanced at her face that was almost flawless like white jade, she felt a little envious, the wrinkles around her eyes had increased again these days, which was really irritating.

She walked in a few steps, ignoring Lin Jinhua, sat down firmly at the top, and asked coldly, "You came here because of your brother?"

"No, the court lady came here to ask for something." Lin Jinhua said respectfully with downcast eyes.

"What's the matter?"

"It's a respectable person. I suddenly remembered that when I saw her last time, her eyes were black. It should be caused by the poisoning caused by someone carrying oleander powder around. And looking at the princess now, there are faint signs of this. The sun has also smelled it, if the antidote is not obtained, then Hua Tuo will have no way to recover after he is alive." Lin Jinhua only looked at her worriedly.

Duan Hui was still thinking about it, but when she heard the last two sentences, she immediately said in shock: "Seriously!"

Lin Jinhua nodded solemnly: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, but I still remember that there was a faint fragrance on the body of the concubine's maid Guizhi last time, and she was so close to the concubine but there was no sign of poisoning, I want to come to the antidote It must be on her."

"But how can oleander powder be so powerful?" Duan Hui also came from the palace, so he didn't believe her at all.

Lin Jinhua looked into her deeply probing eyes, not flustered at all, but said seriously: "If this oleander powder is mixed with other poisons, it will be the most powerful poison."

Hearing this, Duan Hui felt that she was really uncomfortable now, her heart was very stuffy, and there seemed to be a faint tingling pain.

She looked at the people beside her, and hurriedly said: "Get ready for the carriage and horses immediately, and enter the palace."

"Yes." The servant girl hurriedly went to prepare. Duanhui had seen Lin Jinzheng treat her son-in-law, so she no longer doubted it. After preparing the carriages and horses, she hurried out of the door and headed for the palace.

After Duan Hui left in a hurry, Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, and left the princess mansion with Mo Feng.

After the two got into the carriage, they didn't go back to Xu's mansion directly, but went to King Jing's mansion instead.

Because it was reported early in the morning that King Jing had escaped, officers and soldiers soon surrounded King Jing’s mansion, and the common people were discussing Zhao Kan’s raising Gu. My slick tongue told people everywhere, and the stories I told were ghostly. In addition, the sky was gloomy today, and the capital city seemed to be shrouded in a haze of tension and fear.

Passing by the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion, Lin Jinyu lifted the curtain slightly and looked at the heavily guarded officers and soldiers, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Seeing this, Mo Feng said, "Miss, do you think Zhao Kan hasn't left the capital?"

"With Xiong's family here, would he be so cowardly? Most likely he believed the news that Concubine Xian is the mastermind behind the scenes." Half of the big stone in Lin Jinhua's heart had been put down.

"But we still have to find him, otherwise Xiaojing..."

"I think I should know where he is." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, he ordered directly: "Go and take Xiaojing first, and then go to Zuihualou."

"Yes." Mo Feng responded.

Not long after, a group of men appeared outside the lively Zuihualou chasing a little girl. The little girl was full of tears, and finally fell in front of the Zuihualou. While crying her face was full of tears, she begged others for mercy : "Please let me go, I won't say it, I won't tell His Royal Highness King Jing."

The group of men in black held knives in their hands, and when they heard this, they only hummed softly, and slashed at her with their knives.

It was too late, and then it was too late, a young man wearing a silver mask flew out of Zuihualou, kicked him away, and then said coldly: "Get lost!"

The men looked at each other, turned around and ran away without even fighting.

Seeing this, Zhao Kan frowned. Before he had time to doubt, Xiao Jing turned his head to run, but he turned around and caught him, and asked coldly, "What do you want to tell King Jing?"

"I won't say anything..."

Zhao Kan met her terrified eyes, and whispered murderously in her ear, "Don't tell me, I'll kill you right now."

Only then did Xiao Jing talk about what happened last night, how Concubine Xian was kind to her and Guizi, how she wanted to kill Xu Zhaozhao and then blame Jinggui, the only thing that changed was that Guizi was killed by Mo Feng, Changed to Concubine Xian to silence her.

After hearing this, Zhao Kan paused for a moment before bursting out laughing: "God helped me!" After finishing speaking, he threw Xiao Jing into the hands of a disguised attendant, turned his head and left.

On the second floor of the teahouse not far away, Lin Jinhua watched her leave, and finally drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"The fish are all hooked." She breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Feng smiled slightly: "Miss, this trick really took a lot of work, but it's still going smoothly."

Lin Jinhua smiled faintly, looked at the back of Zhao Kan downstairs who was getting further and further away, and said: "This is the only chance, if Zhao Kan and the respected people can't do their best, then the concubine Xian will be even more difficult to deal with in the future." She sighed slightly He took a breath, stood up and went downstairs.

The stairs going downstairs are not too narrow. She was walking with her eyes downcast, and she was only halfway there when an extra arm suddenly blocked her: "Which family is this lady, she is so beautiful, could she be a fairy from heaven and earth?"

Lin Jinhua looked at the unfamiliar but glib man, and said calmly, "I am..."

"It's just a woman who doesn't know how to behave. Brother Sun, you will be in bad luck if you get involved with her."

The familiar sarcasm sounded, and Lin Jinhua turned her head to look. The person who was about to walk in at the door was not Wang Huiyuan.

There was a bruise on the left side of his face, probably from a fight with someone.

As soon as Wang Huiyuan saw Lin Jinhua, his whole body became gloomy. He looked straight into her eyes and sarcastically said loudly, "You keep claiming to be a lady from a famous family, but now you appear here alone, and there are all flower houses nearby. Why, Miss Lin came here for a private meeting?"

Mo Feng was slightly annoyed when he heard the dirty words, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Lin Jinhua.

The oily-tongued man just now took a look and thought that Lin Jinhua was just an ordinary lady who was easy to tease, so he went up and grabbed her wrist and said, "Miss, it's still early in the day, I invite you to go upstairs for a cup of tea." Rest for a while? I see you standing like this, your little feet are tired..."

Most of the people in the lobby were men, and when they heard the explicit words teasing women, they all laughed maliciously.

Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly cold, she looked at him lightly, and said to Mo Feng, "Kick away." She wished she could interrupt his hand holding her, but the Xu family was in troubled times, and she didn't want to cause trouble for the Xu family.

Mo Feng had something to say, so before the man surnamed Sun recovered, he kicked him out, until he fell to the ground in embarrassment from the stairs, and then said coldly: "My lady just came to the neighborhood Buying medicine, resting here when you are thirsty, Wang Gongzi is also from a famous family, how can he hang out with local ruffians and say such shameless words, it really insults Wang Yushi's reputation."

Wang Huiyuan turned blue with anger, stepped forward to help the man, and then looked at Lin Jinhua coldly: "Lin Jinhua, you are nothing more than a grassroots person now..."

"Prince Wang thinks that the daughter of the people has done something wrong, just report it to the official, and you don't have to waste your time talking here like a woman." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking coldly, she stepped forward.

The people next to her laughed more or less when they heard what she said, saying that Wang Huiyuan is a bitch, and now seeing him bickering with a woman here, it really looks like him.

Wang Huiyuan's face turned greener, but Mr. Sun was startled, and said, "You are Lin Jinhua?"

"how?"

"How? Heh, you'd better go back to your Xu family to have a look. My grandson family will come to divorce the engagement today. Don't those useless men from the Xu family faint again." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically .

"You are the son of Sun Shilang's family?" Lin Jinhua asked in surprise. The Xu family was in need of help right now, and the Sun family actually disregarded the Xu family's promotion and care for them in the past ten years. To divorce the engagement, it's really hateful!

"Yes, how? I heard from Mr. Wang that Xu Chengqing and his cousin are ambiguous, and it's only natural for my sister to retire..." He stared at Lin Jinhua more and more maliciously, and Lin Jinhua was so angry that his hands trembled.

Just when she was about to let Mo Feng slap him a few times, she saw the sound of small footsteps at the door, and then a familiar figure walked in.

Lin Jinhua looked at Gao Zhi, who was pale but in good spirits, and was a little surprised why he was here, so he listened to him politely bow to Lin Jinhua deeply, and then said: "Miss Lin, my escort is late, please punish me .”

Lin Jinhua was stunned, and Wang Huiyuan and Sun Qiu were also stunned.

"Who are you..." Sun Qiuqian'er just rushed back to the capital to take the exam. He didn't know anyone in the capital at all, so he felt that Wang Huiyuan was the son of a first-rank censor, already a top-notch noble.

Wang Huiyuan frowned secretly, already knowing what Gao Tian was going to do, King Ning was well-known throughout the capital for protecting Lin Jinhua.

Before Sun Qiu finished speaking, he listened to Gao Zhi said: "If you dare to insult Miss Lin and Lord Xu, and even dare to touch the future Princess Ning, if you are the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, you will only slap thirty times. , come on!"

"Yes!" Immediately, a guard responded, stepping forward regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones, escorting Sun Qiu, and twitching left and right in front of everyone.

The slaps and slaps were extremely loud in this small inn, and Sun Qiu was beaten and humiliated.He is the son of the dignified second-rank servant family, and he was escorted and slapped in front of everyone when he came to the capital!
Thirty slaps were finished quickly, and the moment the attendant let go of him, he almost lost his footing. After shaking a few times, Wang Huiyuan managed to stand still, but his cheeks were already congested and swollen, and his mouth was opened. He said something indistinctly, but no one heard him clearly.

Wang Huiyuan pressed his hand, then looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Miss Lin, Mr. Sun came to the capital for the first time and didn't know your identity. Why did you have to be so cruel?"

Lin Jinhua was sarcastic in his heart, but he knew how to pick up his soft persimmon.

She glanced at Gao Zhi lightly: "Young Master Wang doesn't seem to understand why you want to beat someone."

Looking at Wang Huiyuan indifferently, Zhao Huaiyan, who was full of indifference and aura, narrowed his long eyes and said coldly: "Young Master Wang, you don't think the little one should be punished?"

Naturally, Wang Huiyuan would not go against Prince Ning's Mansion.

He gritted his teeth slightly, knowing that he would definitely not be able to hurt Lin Jinhua today. After all, with the unscrupulous protection of Prince Ning's Mansion, no one could move.

"I just think..."

"That's also a matter of Prince Ning's mansion. What do you have to do with Ms. Lin? You two big men bully her a weak woman. You are so bullying. When the prince comes back, the younger one will definitely report it to the prince. Please make a decision. If the prince Said that the younger one did something wrong, and the younger one must lead the army for thirty sticks, so come and return Mr. Sun’s thirty slaps!" After finishing speaking, the well-behaved man turned to one side and respectfully said to Lin Jinhua: "Miss Lin, please get in the carriage, and my subordinates will escort you. You go home."

"Thank you." Lin Jinhua glanced lightly at Wang Huiyuan, who was looking at her with hatred in his eyes, then turned around and walked away.

She also wondered how Gao Xian would appear here suddenly, and when she got into the carriage and saw Zhao Huaiyan in black brocade clothes, she realized that he had also come.

Seeing her lingering anger, Zhao Huaiyan naturally pulled her into his arms, said with a cold face and a bit of distress that he couldn't hide: "If you encounter such things in the future, hit first, In the end, just push it to the king."

When Lin Jinhua heard this, she actually laughed: "Won't the reputation that the prince has accumulated so easily be ruined?"

"Fame is not as important as you." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her seriously.

Seeing him like this, Lin Jinhua held back her smile, but felt at ease in her heart, and said, "Why is the lord here all of a sudden?"

Seeing her clear eyes and laziness, Zhao Huaiyan smiled unconsciously on her thin lips, and said, "Qukong was robbed."

When Lin Jinhua thought of Naqu Kong, it was clear that his hands and feet were broken, so how could he be robbed?
She paused for a moment before realizing: "He Lianjing." The person who can take away Zhao Huaiyan under his nose must be someone whom Zhao Huaiyan's subordinates also trust and have never guarded against, and the most unstable factor among them is He Lianjing. Lian Jing.

Seeing her thinking, Zhao Huaiyan nodded, "Qu Kong also has Gu worms in his stomach, it's not a good thing for him to take Qu Kong away."

Not long after finishing speaking, the carriage stopped slowly, and Mo Feng's voice came from outside: "Miss, we're here."

Zhao Huaiyan pulled Lin Jinhua and said softly: "You must be extremely careful about the concubine Xian. Zhao Kan has already entered the palace at this time, and my father will definitely summon the Xu family. My father is suspicious and sensitive by nature. You must not act recklessly."

Lin Jinhua blinked at him: "My lord thinks I'm reckless?"

Zhao Huaiyan knew that she knew it well, but when she thought of facing those people alone, she felt uneasy.

Looking at her pair of sly black eyes shining, he could only compromise: "Be careful."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua only slightly bent her eyes when she saw the concern on his stern face.I used to think that he was cold and unkind, but I didn't know that he was such a gentle and considerate person.He couldn't have been in a better situation than himself when he was a child, and he must be very strong in his heart if he can develop his current temperament.

Lin Jinhua got out of the carriage, looked at the carriage for a while, and finally turned around and left.It's good that he has a strong heart. If he is not careful, or if God wants to take back her reborn life, he should be able to live well.

She walked into Xu's mansion early, but Zhao Huaiyan kept watching her back until she disappeared.

Gao Zhi followed from a distance, and when he saw Lin Jinzheng leave, he was still feeling emotional. His lord seemed to be a different person when he met Miss Lin. That's fine, the lord has suffered so much, and there must be some sweetness.

"Great."

Zhao Huaiyan's cold voice came.

Gao Ting quickly responded: "Master, please give me instructions."

"If you don't want Sun Qiu's hand, then don't want it." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently.He never cared about fame and interests, anyone who dared to hurt Jinhua would be against him, not to mention that Sun Qiu dared to touch her, it would be cheaper not to kill her.

Gao Zhi had known the lord's protective nature, and persuaded him, "Then Sun Qiu is a second rank..."

Zhao Huaiyan looked at him coldly, even through the curtain of the carriage, Gao Zhi could feel a chill, so he could only lower his eyes and respond: "This subordinate will do it immediately."

Lin Jinhua went back to Xu's mansion this way, just as the Sun family members were still sitting there leisurely drinking tea.

Xu Boshan has already woken up, and there are white silk hangings all over the Xu mansion, it seems that he is about to prepare for the funeral.

He sat in the first seat haggardly, hadn't had any tea or food for a day, and his mouth was pale and dry. When he saw Shi Lang and Sun Wanwan on the side, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Sun, the current situation of the Xu family is that they are going to divorce In a few days, do you think it’s feasible?" What he was most worried about was that Xu Chengqing was young, his sister had just passed away, and the marriage that had been arranged was called off again, and it was the woman who came to call off the engagement in person, which was a great shame, not to mention It is said that he just participated in Chunwei, and the palace examination will be two days later. If these things happen, how can he still have the mind to participate in the palace examination?

When Master Sun heard the words, he only looked embarrassed, and said: "Brother Xu, I'm really sorry, but the Xu family is already like this, if the Sun family is dragged into the water again, who will come to help you then? No? I'm doing this for the sake of my nephew and you." Sun Shilang looked reasonable.

Sun Wanwan took a look at the side, raised her big eyeballs, and said with a bit of yin and yang, "I heard that Mr. Xu is also having an affair with his cousin. I will definitely call off this marriage..."

"Even if you don't come, I'm going to leave."

Before Lin Jinhua entered the flower hall, Xu Chengqing walked out with a pale face around the corner.

He was dressed in a plain white gown and his face was gloomy, which showed the blow of Xu Zhaozhao's 'death' to him.

Sun Wanwan originally thought that such a good-tempered person like Xu Chengqing, who was once her fiancé, would be reluctant to divorce her, but she never thought that she would say such a thing, she only turned pale, and pursed her lips in embarrassment.

When Sun Shilang heard this, he was a little unhappy, and said sarcastically, "Nephew, what are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about?" Xu Chengqing walked to Xu Boshan's side, then turned and looked at the two of them indifferently: "My Xu family's kindness to your grandson's family is not to say that it is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, and it is also the three lifetimes of your grandson's family. Now, now that something happened to the Xu family, you are as cowardly as a mouse and hurried to the door to withdraw from the marriage in order to protect yourself, and you still say that it is for the good of the Xu family?"

Both Sun Shilang and Sun Wanwan looked ashen, but Xu Chengqing raised his hand and pointed at Sun Wanwan's nose and said, "You are not a lady from a famous family. You are right to have sex with a strange man, and you still dare to utter obscenities and bad names today. We know that even though you are dressed in expensive clothes, you are just a short-sighted, rough-tongued wild woman from the mountain village."

"Mountain village slut?" Sun Wanwan was trembling with anger. She had always thought of herself as enchanting and beautiful, and now she was a lady of the second-rank family. She never expected him to accuse her like this in front of her face.

Sun Shilang looked towards Xu Boshan, Xu Boshan simply closed his eyes, pretending he didn't hear or see.

Seeing this, he stood up as soon as the table was slapped: "Since that's the case, it would be better if the marriage was divorced!"

"It's not that you're retiring my marriage, but I'm retiring your marriage. I'm ruthless, shameless, come here, and throw all the things I ordered out of the house to feed the dogs!" Xu Chengqing said directly.

The servants were also quick with their hands and feet, and went immediately.

Sun Wanwan was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, and Sun Shilang was so angry that her face was ashen, and she just glanced at him and Xu Boshan coldly: "Okay, you remember these words today, my Sun family and your Xu family will be separated from each other from now on. Qing, nothing to do with it anymore, Wanwan, let's go!" After speaking, she turned her head and walked away.

Sun Wanwan's eyes were red, she glared at Xu Chengqing bitterly, and followed her.

When he went out, he saw Lin Jinhua standing on one side, and gritted his teeth: "Are you happy now?"

Seeing that she lost her temper at him for no reason, Lin Jinhua raised her brows slightly: "Didn't your Sun family come here to withdraw?" So why was she happy.

Sun Wanwan's head was spinning, but she didn't react. She just felt more and more embarrassed, stomped her feet, turned her head and ran away holding her tears.

Lin Jinhua watched her leave indifferently, and then glanced at Mo Feng beside him: "Take all the servants and leave first, I have something to say to my uncle and cousin."

Mo Feng knew what she was going to say, nodded clearly, and then led everyone back.

As soon as they left, Lin Jinhua walked into the room, looked at Xu Boshan and Xu Chengqing's distraught appearance, and apologized extremely: "Please punish me, uncle."

Seeing her like this, Xu Boshan only smiled wryly, "Hua'er, it's none of your business, what to punish you for."

"It was Jinhua who lied to my uncle, aunt and the Xu family." Lin Jinhua apologized deeply.

When Xu Chengqing heard her words, he suddenly realized something.A smart person like Jinhua knew the true face of Concubine Xian Defei long ago, and happened to be in Zhaozhao's room at night...

Thinking of this, he grabbed Lin Jinhua with trembling hands and said, "Does it show that she is not dead?"

Seeing that he had guessed, Lin Jinhua nodded without concealing it. Concubine Xian is probably hooked now, and she doesn't need to let the Xu family perform any more.

Xu Chengqing was ecstatic at the moment, and was about to hug Lin Jinhua, but Xu Boshan was startled, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard, and asked repeatedly: "Zhaozhao is not dead?"

"Not dead." Seeing his red-eyed look, Lin Jinhua felt extremely uncomfortable, and only pulled him to sit on one side, before telling the whole story of what happened last night: "The situation is urgent, Jinhua has no time to discuss it with uncle, so I just I can make the decision on my own first. Concubine Xian is an extremely sensitive person, and I am afraid that the secret work in Xu's mansion was buried a few years ago, so Jinhua dared not tell her uncle first, for fear that she would find out."

When Xu Boshan heard these words, his heart was very complicated, but he looked at Lin Jinhua gratefully: "It's a good thing you're smart, otherwise, if there wasn't that big fire, I would be gone."

Xu Chengqing was calmer, looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Cousin, do you have other plans?"

"Yes." Lin Jinhua looked at him, then at Xu Boshan, and said, "I need my uncle to help me put on a play."

Xu Boshan looked at her with some hesitation, worried: "Hua'er, if you do this, you will completely offend Concubine Xian."

Lin Jinhua only looked at him apologetically: "It was originally Jinhua who brought these disasters to uncle, and it will be a matter of offending her sooner or later. Since the situation cannot be calm for a while, Jinhua can only try to keep everyone safe."

Xu Chengqing admired her younger sister more and more, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her. She looked at her firmly and said, "Don't worry, cousin will help you!"

Lin Jinyu's heart warmed slightly, Xu Boshan only smiled when he heard this, "Could it be that father is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Xu Chengqing hurriedly said: "Father is not, he just gets sad too easily."

"You brat!" Xu Chengqing pinched his ears and scolded him as soon as he got up, Lin Jinhua knew who Xu Chengqing's poisonous tongue was inherited from.

Soon there was a summons from the palace, asking the Xu family to come to the palace to have an audience immediately, accompanied by Lin Jinhua.

Lin Jinhua had been waiting to be summoned a long time ago, presumably by now Concubine Xian should know that she has become a hooked fish.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation at this time.

Duanhui stood on one side with a complex expression, looking at the honored person kneeling on the ground, remembering that she had rushed to Changheng Palace to find Guizhi for the so-called antidote, and found out that the maid beside Xianfei was actually Bold enough to kill a respectable person.

With tears all over the face of the respected nobleman, he said desolately: "Your Majesty, this concubine has been with you for decades, and this concubine has a bit of a temper, but she has never offended the concubine Xian. Why is she going to secretly send someone to kill the concubine?" Concubine."

Concubine Xian knelt on one side with a pale complexion, her back straightened, her eyes slightly lowered.

She waited for the nobleman to finish speaking, and then looked at the court lady kneeling beside her unhurriedly: "The nobleman has no grievances or enmities with you, why do you want to kill her?"

The maid's face had already been scratched to pieces, her hair was messy and she knelt on one side, she didn't look at the concubine Xian, she just looked madly at the majestic and solemn emperor and laughed: "This servant used to be a respectable person in the palace. The waiter, she is not only has a bad temper, but is also violent and vicious. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go to the dry well near Yikun Palace. There are no less than ten corpses of palace maids and eunuchs in it. If you die, you will even kill the empress..."

"You are talking nonsense, you have wronged me!" the honorable man yelled at her directly.

The emperor's face became more serious, but he still didn't say anything, he just looked indifferently at the group of women kneeling below.

Concubine Xian just said that sentence and stopped, as if she really didn't instigate someone to kill the respectable person, the maid was also fierce, and she knocked her head three times in the direction of Concubine Xian: "It's useless to be a servant, almost When I was beaten to death by a respectable person, I had to be protected by my mother to live until today, but today my servant killed my mother, this servant deserves to die!" After speaking, he turned his head and slammed into a pillar on one side, and died instantly.

The respectable man's eyes were red with hatred, he turned to look at Concubine Xian and sneered: "I never thought you would have such ability to make people die for you."

"The concubine dare not, the concubine never knew that she was going to murder the nobleman." Concubine Xian said calmly with downcast eyes.

The emperor looked at her like this, and then said in a cold voice: "Then tell me, what's going on about the respectable person murdering the daughter of the Xu family?"

"Concubine..."

"His Royal Highness King Jing is here!"

Before she finished her words, the eunuch outside rushed in to report.

Concubine Xian immediately clenched the handkerchief in her palm, and began to think about it, but it was a fact that Zhao Kan was raising Gu, and she was not afraid at all.

Before he could settle his mind, he saw another person coming outside and replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has arrived with Miss Xu's son and Miss Lin."

Concubine Xian suddenly raised her head and looked at him, Miss Xu?Is Xu Zhaozhao not dead?
