Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 79 Calculation
Dingnanhoufu.

Mrs. Hou's belly is nearly five months old.

In April, the breeze blows open the peach blossoms all over the courtyard. The peach blossoms are tender and tender. When the breeze blows, countless petals rise up with the wind. It is as beautiful as a fairyland, but at this moment Mrs. Dingnanhou is not in a good mood.

She had been researching how to make Master Hou happy in the yard, and even flipped through the erotic books. Before she could find a way, someone came to report quietly, saying that the one who was loved by Master Hou Aunt Hexiang was seducing the prince to do some immoral things in the peach forest, she was so angry that she hurried over.

When she arrived at the gate of the forest, she didn't go in immediately, she still had to take care of Lord Hou's dignity, so she only ordered: "Everyone wait outside."

The servants responded in unison, and then she carefully supported her swollen belly and walked in slowly.

Inside the peach grove was a loquat grove with low branches and luxuriant foliage. Not long after she walked in, the maids outside couldn't see her. Not long after, she heard a scream coming from inside , the servants ran in hastily, and when they saw Mrs. Dingnanhou, she had already fallen to the ground, blood was already seen on the trouser legs.

Seeing this, the servant girl Huang Li who was guarding her hurriedly shouted: "Madam is going to have a miscarriage, hurry up and ask the doctor..."

When Madam Hou heard this, she immediately grabbed her arm, her nails were deeply embedded in her flesh, and then suppressed the pain and said, "Please ask the best imperial doctor..."

"By the way, ma'am, why don't you invite Ms. Lin to come here." Huang Li looked at her with concern and said, "Ms. Lin has excellent medical skills, and I have always been aware of your condition."

How could Madam Hou want to get so much now, she just nodded hastily.

At this time, Lin Jinhua had already arrived at Liu Yuyi's residence.

Doctor Liu was originally in the backyard thinking about how the recently favored ladies in the palace would deal with the queen, so someone reported that Lin Jinhua had come.

"What is she here for?" Imperial doctor Liu put down the medical paper in his hand, his face was a bit unkind. He went to see Mrs. Luo with another imperial doctor before, but he didn't see anything, and Lin Jinhua told him to see it , this incident made him end up with Royal Doctor Lu, and was laughed at by the people in the Royal Hospital for a long time.

The little servant hurriedly said: "It seems that we are going to pass by, but the carriage bumped a lot when we came over. She is very dizzy now, and I just want to ask you to take a look. If you don't look, the servant will send her back?"

Doctor Liu drooped his eyes when he heard this, put down the book in his hand, and then hummed softly: "I haven't seen this miracle doctor yet, since I'm here, I'm going to see him. I feel dizzy after a few jolts. A woman is a woman, how can she be compared with a man?" After the sarcasm, he walked confidently to the front yard.

When the time came, he saw Lin Jinhua sitting in the front hall with a slightly pale face, and his expression seemed to be uncomfortable.

He walked over and said: "Miss Lin, you are not a doctor yourself, and it doesn't look very serious. Why don't you treat it yourself, and instead come to me, a mediocre doctor?"

Lin Jinhua knew that these imperial physicians in the palace were full of arrogance, but she didn't argue with him, she just pretended to be in pain: "Doctor Liu, I don't know what's wrong with me, now I feel dizzy and weak, it's obviously just a jolt Just a few times..."

Doctor Liu sneered when he heard it, and stepped forward to hold her pulse, but after a while, he frowned and looked at her in surprise: "What did you eat when you came here?"

"I just had lunch at Liufang Pavilion." On one side, Mo Feng responded, also showing concern, and hurriedly asked him: "Master Liu, is my lady seriously ill?"

"She's been poisoned. She's still mildly poisoned. I'll prescribe a supplement for you, and you'll be fine after two days." After he finished speaking, he immediately recruited someone to write the prescription, but he wrote it down.Lin Jinhua is a doctor herself, but she can still be poisoned. If she didn't do it on purpose, then someone deliberately poisoned her when she wasn't prepared.He had also been to Liufang Pavilion before, and there were indeed some strange places, such as the strange incense that was kept burning day and night in every private room.

After prescribing the prescription, he was about to dig out more useful information from Lin Jinhua, when he saw the servant at the door rushing over again.

Doctor Liu saw him like this, and was a little impatient: "What's the matter?"

"Master, someone from Dingnanhou's residence said that he would invite Miss Lin to come to the residence. Madam Hou's fetus has a problem." The servant hurriedly said.

"What?" Physician Liu was also surprised, and turned to look at Lin Jinhua. Now that she is poisoned, how can she see a doctor and protect her from miscarriage?But if you go by yourself, if you can't keep the fetus, won't you have to blame yourself?

He paused, and immediately turned his head to stare at Lin Jinhua, but then he thought, she is not a fairy, how could she predict that Mrs. Dingnanhou would have a slippery tire, and then come to him in advance?

He was suspicious, but he only said to the boy: "Tell that man that Miss Lin herself has been poisoned." After finishing speaking, he paused, and then sighed: "I'll go with you." After finishing speaking, Immediately ask someone to prepare the medicine box.

Lin Jinhua looked at this imperial doctor Liu, and thought that he should be a cold-blooded and ruthless person who did all kinds of bad things with the queen, but looking at it now, it's not that bad.

Not long after, the medical box was brought, and Lin Jinhua also supported Mo Feng's hand and stood up, saying, "Doctor Liu, I'll go with you."

"You are not in good health yet, so what's the use of going?" Doctor Liu's beard trembled slightly, he turned his head and hurried away.

Mo Feng wanted to call him to stop, but Lin Jinhua pushed him down.

Lin Jinhua looked at his back in a hurry and said with a smile, "We'll go by ourselves."

Only then did Mo Feng nod his head.

Speeding up the horse, the carriage bumped violently, but it arrived at Dingnanhou's mansion very quickly.

When Lin Jinhua got out of the carriage, she saw Huang Li, a maid waiting anxiously at the door. She was Mrs. Dingnanhou's personal maid, why was she here?

She was wondering, when Huang Li saw her, she hurriedly ran over with tears in her eyes, "Miss Lin, you must save my wife, you are a miracle doctor, you will definitely save my wife's child, right?"

Lin Jinhua saw that she couldn't wait to set herself up, so she shook her head with a helpless smile: "I was also poisoned, so I came up from Doctor Liu's house. I'm afraid I'm powerless today, but Doctor Liu and I will try our best to lead us in first." Bar."

When the servant girl heard this, she saw Liu Yuyi who was slowly getting off the carriage with the hand of the servant, her face froze and she nodded in response, but her eyes suddenly became complicated.

Passing through the hanging flower gate in front, after twists and turns, he finally arrived at Madam Dingnanhou's yard, but before he entered, he heard Madam Hou's heart-piercing cry from inside, presumably the child was completely lost.

Hearing the sound, Mrs. Dingnanhou hurriedly asked: "Is Miss Lin here?"

"Ma'am, Miss Lin is here." Huang Li replied from afar.

Lin Jinhua glanced sideways at her, and stepped forward through the curtain to salute: "Madam, don't be afraid, the imperial doctor Liu who is used by the empress is here today, and Jinhua will be there to help."

"OK--!"

Mrs. Dingnan Hou cried out in pain again, and Doctor Liu hurriedly stepped forward to put her hand out from behind the curtain. His face was so dark that he immediately prescribed several strong prescriptions for people to decoct the medicine, but Lin Jinhua Looking at the basins of blood brought out by the midwife inside, he knew that the child could not be kept.Doctor Liu also knew that the last prescription was just a last-ditch struggle, and it looked good. When the child was really gone, he could justify it. After all, he had already done such a superficial effort in the palace. Countless times.

Lin Jinhua quietly observed the people in the room. The maids were in a hurry, and they all looked panic-stricken. They all knew Madam Dingnanhou's temper. Something was wrong, although she also looked worried, but she was obviously not worried about Mrs. Dingnanhou.

Lin Jinhua watched her eyeballs keep turning, her eyes dimmed a little, and she went up to her and asked softly, "Have you notified Lord Hou?" Probably not coming back.

Huang Li tightened her hands in front of her, and quickly nodded when she saw her: "I sent someone to inform, but I don't know why she hasn't come yet." After speaking, she looked back at Mrs. Hou, then at Lin Jinhua, and begged Said: "Miss Lin, are you really unable to save my wife?"

Mrs. Dingnanhou also heard this in the inside, and she called Lin Jinyu's name: "Save my child..." If this child is gone, everything will be gone, and the Marquis will love that concubine even more .

Lin Jinhua didn't want her to keep the child, but Concubine Xian was too well prepared. Just looking at the bloody water pouring out, she knew that the child was probably gone.

She stood outside the curtain and said apologetically, "Mrs. Hou, Jinhua has just been poisoned, and now she can't get her pulse at all. Doctor Liu is better than Jinhua in medicine, and he will definitely do his best."

"What..." Mrs. Hou felt more and more uncomfortable when she heard this. When Doctor Liu ordered the medicine to be boiled, she didn't drink it. Formed male fetus.

The news of the male fetus undoubtedly made Mrs. Dingnanhou even worse. Before she could speak, she passed out with her eyes wide open.

Everyone started to panic again, and Lin Jinhua was pushed back a few steps.

She looked at Liu Yuyi who was rushing up to get his pulse, and then at Huang Li who was standing on the sidelines, who looked worried but looked on coldly, and sighed slightly in her heart.

Seeing the chaos inside, she planned to go out first and come back when Mrs. Dingnan Hou woke up, but she heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then saw a tall man rushing in.

A woman hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master Hou, it's dirty inside, you'd better not go in."

"How is the child?" Ding Nanhou's first sentence was the child.

The mother-in-law looked anxious: "The child was not kept, it's a pity, it is a male fetus that has already formed..."

Marquis Dingnan's complexion sank immediately, he kicked the old woman away, and then gritted his teeth: "Who is serving Madam Hou today, how could such a thing happen!"

Huang Li then knelt down, looked at him sadly and said: "Master Hou, it is Mrs. Hou who insists on going to the peach forest, and won't let the slaves follow, please Master Hou."

"What did she go to Taolin for no reason? She's crazy!" Ding Nanhou turned pale with anger when he thought that the child was gone.

Huang Li stepped forward and gently tugged at his clothes and said softly: "Master Hou, don't be angry, you can have the child again if it's gone, don't be so angry." She raised her eyes pitifully, and with fair skin, Looking at it now, it's quite pleasant.

Dingnanhou glanced at her, looked at the purple flowers on her ear, and his face became a little better: "What's your name?"

"Slave Huang Li." Huang Li hurriedly said.

"Come here to serve tonight." After Dingnanhou said, he looked indifferently at the busy crowd in front of him, frowned, turned his head and went out again.

Huang Li hurriedly got up to see her off, Lin Jinhua saw all this in her eyes, didn't make a sound, and acted as a transparent person in the corner.

When Marquis Dingnan left, she went to the porch to wait, and after waiting for a long time, she heard someone say that Mrs. Hou had woken up.

Lin Jinhua nodded, turned around and followed inside.

When I saw Mrs. Hou again, she was lying silently weeping, her eyes were staring straight at the curtain, she didn't say anything.

"Mrs. Hou seems to be wrong." Mo Feng whispered on the side. With Mrs. Hou's temperament, even if she didn't make trouble, she would definitely punish the midwife and the maids around her. She was so quiet.

Lin Jinhua glanced at Huang Li standing beside her bed, and probably guessed that Huang Li left Marquis Ding Nan disappointed and called her to serve her.No matter how strong Mrs. Hou is, she is only a woman. Under such grievances, she has no desire to get angry.

She walked over slowly, seeing that Huang Li was still talking about how Marquis Dingnan wanted her to take care of her, she said coldly: "Madam Hou needs to rest, you go to the Nuan Pavilion to wait."

Huang Li gritted her teeth slightly, and looked at Lin Jinhua with some dissatisfaction: "Miss Lin, slave..."

"Go out." Madam Hou also said.

Huang Li was slightly taken aback, so she had to salute and exit, casting a cold glance at Lin Jinhua when she left.

Lin Jinhua ignored her, and waited for the others to leave before looking at Mrs. Dingnanhou on the bed, and said softly, "The child is gone, and there will be another one. Don't worry, Mrs. Hou."

Madam Hou ignored her, obviously blaming her for not saving her child.

Lin Jinhua was also patient, and continued: "Today is also strange. I was poisoned when I went to Liufang Pavilion for dinner. I reluctantly went to Liu Yuyi's residence, thanks to the people from Hou's residence who found it in time. But Mrs. Hou, Master Huijue once asked Be more careful, this time you encountered something unavoidable and got bored?"

Lin Jinhua's words were careful, but every sentence was to guide Mrs. Hou.For example, she can be poisoned every time she eats, and she can be found when she goes to the Liuyu doctor's mansion. Moreover, after she entered the peach forest by herself, she didn't see Aunt Hexiang and Marquis Dingnan at all. The frightened wild cats rushed towards her. It seemed that the links were calculated so that Lin Jinhua could not save her child, and let her watch the child being knocked out.

"That bitch Hexiang!" Madam Hou almost gritted her teeth, her bloodshot eyes were full of viciousness, and she struggled to get up.

Lin Jinhua hurriedly said: "Mrs. Hou, you are not in good health now, and if you catch a cold, you may not be able to conceive in the future."

Mrs. Hou's words were very useful, she paused immediately, and only looked at Lin Jinhua with tears in her eyes: "Could it be that I just let that bitch kill my son?"

"Jinhua doesn't know who Madam is talking about, but this person can poison me without knowing it, and arrange people in this house to make Madam Hou have an accident. I'm afraid it's not easy. At this time, Madam is better off. For the best." Lin Jinhua didn't say it clearly, otherwise she would have to doubt herself.

"Who is that?" Mrs. Hou was not very smart, and she became confused for a while.

Lin Jinhua just shook her head: "Jinhua doesn't know either, but Ma'am should give birth first. Lord Hou is in his prime, and it's normal for him to feel sorry for his heirs. If Madam can conceive one child, she will certainly be able to conceive a second child."

"Really?" Madam Hou looked at her expectantly.

Of course, Lin Jinhua couldn't shake her head right now, but as long as she was willing to work hard, there might be hope.

Seeing her positive attitude, Mrs. Hou felt a lot more at ease.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Jinhua got up and was about to leave, but Mrs. Dingnanhou suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Please read something for me."

Lin Jinhua paused and nodded.

Madam Hou found out a sachet from under one side of the pillow and gave it to her: "Look, is there something wrong in this sachet?"

Lin Jinhua glanced at the painting on the sachet, it was a picture of mandarin ducks, presumably it was given by a woman to a man.

She took it, opened it and looked at it, her complexion slowly sank, and she couldn't help asking: "Mrs. Hou, where did this thing come from?"

"what happened?"

"There is musk in it. Although the amount is small, it has not been ground into powder, so it is easy to identify." She put the things away and put them aside.

Madam Hou's complexion paled slightly, she knew exactly what musk was and what it was useful for.

"This thing..." Her lips trembled slightly before she said, "I always smelled this fragrance from Lord Hou, so I asked someone to quietly take that bitch's sachet. I never thought that she would smell it. Let Hou Ye smoke musk every day and come to see me again, my child, it is Hou Ye..."

"Master Hou certainly didn't know there was musk in it." Lin Jinhua hurriedly pulled her out of her grief.

Madam Hou also woke up instantly, she almost hated Lord Hou just now.

She raised her hand to cover her now flat belly, hating her even more: "This bitch, bitch!"

"Wearing this item for a long time will make it impossible to conceive." After Lin Jinhua said, seeing that it was getting late, she knew it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, and said, "Mrs. Hou, the poison on Jinhua's body has not been released yet, can I say goodbye first?"

Madam Hou's heart is all about musk, musk is extremely valuable and only found in the palace, where did a mere aunt get such things?Moreover, it can poison Lin Jinhua, so what happened today must have been planned in advance, and that doctor Liu...

Seeing her lost in thought, Lin Jinhua backed away silently.

The way out of Dingnanhou's Mansion was not too far away, she was familiar with the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the mansion, but before she could go out, she heard a soft voice behind her: "Miss Lin."

Lin Jinhua stopped and looked back. A woman as slim as a willow and with seductive eyes like silk had already walked over, but she was dressed very conservatively. The plain brocade dress made her seem to have a bit of pure temperament, so A person with a contradictory style and exceptional beauty, it's no wonder that Marquis Dingnan, who was originally a womanizer, was so obsessed.

"Aunt Hexiang, are you looking for me?" Lin Jinhua smiled lightly, she had already guessed who she was, and she was not too polite.

The smile in Hexiang's eyes was even bigger: "Miss Lin is really very smart, but unfortunately, God's will is inevitable, and when things happen, you always have to follow the current situation to save your life."

Lin Jinhua smiled: "What my aunt said is true."

He Xiang paused for a moment, then realized what she meant, covered her lips with a chuckle, and said: "Come here today, I'm not making things difficult for you, since I've arrived at the gate, I'll take you out personally."

"No need." Seeing that she was approaching, Lin Jinhua smiled faintly and turned to leave.Hexiang came here this time, mostly to test herself, she didn't want to waste time with unnecessary conversations.

After getting into the carriage, Yanran's eyes turned cold when he saw Hexiang just smiled, and he only ordered Mo Feng to drive away in the carriage.

He Xiang watched her carriage go away, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, such a wanton lady, really happy.

She lowered her eyes to look at the deep scar on her wrist, raised the corner of her mouth, and turned to go to Mrs. Dingnanhou's yard.

Mrs. Dingnanhou had been thinking for a long time in the room, another confidant servant girl stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, what should I do with Huang Li? It's abominable that her little hoof dares to collude with Lord Marquis while you are having a miscarriage."

"Disposal..." Mrs. Dingnan Hou thought of what Lin Jinhua said just now, and her thoughts gradually cleared up. Instead, she laughed: "Wouldn't it be better for the Marquis to like her? Not only will I not touch her, but I will Raise her as an aunt. The women in the palace think I'm stupid and easy to bully, let's see if I'm really that stupid!"

"The empress in the palace?" The servant girl was puzzled, but Madam Dingnanhou only stared at the musk sachet for a long time, and clenched her teeth tightly.

The sun was shining today, and Lin Jinhua was still thinking about Wang Huiyuan. On the way back, she made a detour to the palace, but when she learned that Wang Huiyuan and Wang Ruyan went out together, her heart sank slightly, and she just let people drive the carriage away.

At this time, Wang Ruyan was in the private room of the tavern, looking at the ordinary but extremely shy man in front of her, and smiled slightly: "My lord, why is your face blushing, is it shy?"

"I..." The son of the Minister of Rites is Tao Mou, the seventh son of a concubine. He is honest, but he has done a good job in learning. He hoped that he could go to high school this time so that he could earn a respect for his aunt. Miss Wang, who didn't even dare to think, would take the initiative to ask her out.

"Drink this glass of bar first, this is an old flower carving." Wang Huiyuan only smiled and filled him another glass.

Tao Mou didn't refuse either, blushing and drinking one cup after another until he was so drunk that he passed out.

Wang Huiyuan took another anti-alcoholic medicine, heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Wang Ruyan gratefully, and said, "Ruyan, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have nothing to do."

Wang Ruyan looked at the person who had fallen into a deep sleep, and lowered her eyes lightly: "Brother, it's getting late, you should go back and prepare earlier, I want to see Rouge."

"I go with you……"

"Brother is busy with things, and it's better for Ru Yan to go and see things like Rouge herself." She raised her head and smiled sweetly, without any displeasure on her face.

Wang Huiyuan was indeed anxious about tomorrow's palace examination, he had to go back to prepare, so he said: "Then let people be optimistic about Tao Mou, and let him go out after tomorrow's time."

"En." Wang Ruyan nodded, and then Wang Huiyuan hurriedly got up and left.

After he left, Wang Ruyan's gaze completely cooled down, and she silently glanced at the servants beside her: "You go out first, I'll rest for a while."

Seeing that there was still a fainted person, the servant girl said worriedly: "Miss, Mr. Tao..."

"He's drunk, you guys go down." Wang Ruyan said lightly.

The maids knew that since that incident, the amiable lady had become extremely weird, so they didn't dare to say more, and retreated one after another.

Hearing that the door was closed, Wang Ruyan slowly raised her hand, poured herself a glass of wine, and drank it slowly: "It is said that it is not uncomfortable to be drunk, why do I think it is useless." She muttered As he spoke, he drank another glass, until he was so drunk that he leaned on the table and slowly got up.

Looking at Tao Mou who was lying on the table, he picked up the cloak he had left on the ground and covered him before slowly turning and leaving.

After going out, the servant girl saw that her cheeks were flushed, and hurriedly said: "Miss, shall we still buy rouge?"

"Let's go home. Go back to the carriage, go slowly." She really didn't want to be under the same roof with her elder brother, but she couldn't let him know.For some sins, let him suffer once, and he will never forget it for the rest of his life, that would be the best.

She supported the servant girl's hand and left slowly, but unexpectedly, the seemingly sleeping person in the room slowly opened his eyes.He is a concubine, who has survived all kinds of bullying and murder by the principal since he was a child, how could he be so innocent that he could not guard against Wang Ruyan, who suddenly offered courteousness, but...

He looked at the cloak he was wearing, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The night breeze was soft, just like Wang Ruyan's eyes, pure and always full of hope, making people feel comfortable just looking at them.

Lin Jincheng was wearing a white undershirt with only a thin cloak on his body. The wind from the yard blew up the blue hair scattered on his shoulders.

He looked at the younger sister in front of him, feeling very distressed: "It's all because of my brother's uselessness that caused you to suffer so much."

"As long as the eldest brother can live well, Jinhua will not feel bitter." As long as he is alive, there will always be hope.

Lin Jincheng felt more and more distressed. He seemed to have lost weight after not seeing him for a long time. Standing in front of him was a small figure. Although he knew that she was no longer the little girl who followed behind him and only cried for her brother, she was just a girl after all. Dad My mother is not here, so I have to worry about my brother.

Mo Feng came in from the outside, walked to Lin Jinhua's side and smiled, "Miss, the medicine is here."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua took the medicine, and gave the medicine to Mo Hua on the side: "Decoction every day. It's inconvenient for me to come here every day. If something happens, you can send someone to find me."

Mo Hua looked at her in embarrassment, then turned to look at Lin Jincheng, and said, "Miss, Mr. Lin is planning to go back to the southwest."

Lin Jinhua hurriedly looked at him, there was still no blood on his face, and the wounds on his body had just begun to scab. If he continued to fight with others, his life might be lost.

"Big brother..."

"Princess Yuan was also injured in order to save me. There is still a long way to go to the southwest this time. If I don't go, she, a woman, and the mere guards will be in danger. And the emperor gave me the order to kill her. Deliver it safely, otherwise I won't be able to be a second-rank general, how can I protect you?" Lin Jinhua gently raised her hand to rub her forehead, looked at her worried eyes, leaned over and said affectionately as before to coax her: "Don't I'm afraid, brother is an adult now, nothing will happen."

Lin Jinhua knew his temperament, he seemed gentle and easy to talk, but he was actually very stubborn. Once he made a decision, he would never turn back unless he hit the south wall.

She breathed a little, and looked at him solemnly: "Brother must be very careful this time, and throw away some of your gentleman's ways as soon as possible. The Xiong family doesn't pay attention to whether a gentleman is a gentleman or not."

"I have studied the 36 strategy for so many years, so I understand it. Don't worry, this trip to the Southwest will definitely make him regret it!" Lin Jincheng's gentle eyes suddenly overflowed with coldness, but he closed his eyes the moment he looked at Lin Jinhua. rise.

Lin Jinhua recalled that he had been on the battlefield for many years, and he was so gentle in front of her: "When are we going?"

"tonight."

"You——!" Lin Jinzheng's eyes were slightly red: "If I don't come, wouldn't my brother just leave quietly today?"

"How could it be? Of course I'm going to see you, as well as Ru Yan." He laughed.

He still doesn't know what happened to Wang Ruyan, and he just wants to give her a reassurance so that she can wait for him to come back.

Hearing this, the complexions of several people present became serious.

Lin Jincheng sensed something was wrong, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong? But Ruyan is already engaged..."

"Since my brother is leaving, why don't you leave earlier. If you are worried about Ru Yan, write me a letter yourself, and I will pass it to her for you." Lin Jinhua smiled immediately, but she was sad in her heart. He will inevitably go to Wang Huiyuan to trouble him, so that he will be exposed, and if the emperor deliberately does not let him go, he will be convicted of deceiving the emperor.

Lin Jincheng wanted to ask again, and Mo Feng followed suit: "Miss Wang has been seriously ill recently, and her mood should not fluctuate. If the young master goes now, it will harm her instead. Why don't you leave a letter and hand it to Miss Wang when she recovers?" she."

"Are you sick?" Lin Jincheng looked at Lin Jinhua nervously, and Lin Jinhua also nodded: "Brother, go first, I will let Mohua accompany you on this trip."

Mo Hua also nodded, and she also wanted to go outside to see if she was born in Jianghu. Although she was willing to stay in the capital for the sake of the prince, she was happier when she went out to explore.

Seeing her answer like this, Lin Jincheng was no longer suspicious and responded, and quickly wrote a letter and gave Lin Jinhua a painting by the way: "I painted it on the way, and I planned to give it to her when I came back, but now...you help me Give it to her together." When he handed out the painting, his face was slightly red.

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua's nose became sour, and she just smiled.

When leaving, she prescribed a lot of medicines to Mo Hua, telling her to get the medicines before leaving, and then left.

On the carriage back home, she looked at the letters and paintings written by Lin Jincheng himself, and closed her eyes wearily.

Mo Feng saw her embarrassed, and said: "Miss, why don't you give these things to Miss Wang for now?"

"It's good to give her my brother's heart. What I worry about is not that my brother can't accept it, but that she can't get over the hurdle in her heart." On the Women's Double Name Festival, she experienced the worst night, and now she seems to be on her way to the top. went astray.

"Miss Wang is a poor person."

"You can send the things tonight." Lin Jinhua gave her the things.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Mo Feng also nodded.

Back at Xu's Mansion, Jiang Qingshu was there, Lin Jinhua only felt tired, and didn't eat with them. She just washed up and went to bed after returning home, but she also knew that many people were destined to have difficulty falling asleep tonight.

Wang Ruyan was soaking in the bathroom, and the maids all knew that she had been doing this every day since then, and she would not come out until the water became cold, so they all waited obediently outside, and when Mo Feng's figure flashed by, they only thought It's blinding, I don't care at all.

Wang Ruyan heard a noise behind her, and turned around nervously, but only saw a letter and a scroll of paintings under the candlestick not far away. She looked around hesitantly, and after confirming that no one was there, she took her clothes and put them on. He walked over slowly, and when he saw the powerful "Ru Yan kisses you" on the envelope, his heart skipped a beat, and he opened the letter with trembling hands.After reading every word carefully, seeing the last word "wait for me" and the last signed word "Cheng", I trembled, curled up and cried depressively.

She held the letter carefully in her heart, feeling overwhelmed with pain.It would have been great if that night hadn't happened, and it would have been great if Zeng Xuehai had died before that, but without an 'if', it would be too late.

She looked at the scroll beside her, and raised her hand to open it, but her hand trembled slightly, and she didn't open it.After crying, I slowly picked up the letter and picture scroll, put them on the candlestick on one side and lit them until they were completely burned.

She looked at the ashes on the ground, clutching her broken heart, and slowly walked towards the bed, but before taking two steps, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground, a piece of unburnt letter fell beside her, The word 'Cheng' on it is still intact.

She grasped the only one word, closed her eyes deeply and suppressed the crying, tears poured down like rain.

Outside, seeing all this, Mo Feng could only sigh and turn away.

The night passed, and when Lin Jinhua woke up, it was already broad daylight. Last night, she slept very deeply. After all, she had given herself poison to deceive Imperial Doctor Liu.

Mo Xue came in from the outside, served breakfast, and said softly, "Yuyi Liu was called away by the queen early this morning."

"Yeah." Lin Jinhua stepped on the ground with bare feet, pushed open the window, saw that the flowers in the flower garden were all in bloom, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Cousin has already gone to the palace examination?"

"I went with Mr. Jiang early in the morning."

"That's good." Lin Jinhua then turned around and changed her clothes, and simply washed up.

When Mo Yue came with Hua Sheng, she had already finished her breakfast and was writing something in front of the desk. Seeing them coming, she asked, "Have you found the niece that Concubine Xian mentioned?"

Mo Yue nodded: "I found out, the relatives of Concubine Xian's natal family were just small families in the early years, but although they have not developed in recent years, with the help of the Ninth Prince, they have also become local magistrates, and the so-called niece is more He was raised in the Governor's Mansion since he was a child."

"Governor's Mansion." Lin Jinhua paused slightly: "Which Governor?"

"The governors of Huguang seem to be surnamed Wei." Mo Yue said.

Lin Jinhua looked down at the letter she was just planning to write to Huijue, then slowly put down the pen, took the letter to one side and lit it with a torch.

Mo Yue was puzzled: "Miss, but Governor Wei has a problem."

"It's not a big problem for now, when will Concubine Xian's niece come to Beijing?" she said.

"It should be soon, Governor Wei just returns to Beijing to report on his duties, and will escort him all the way." Mo Yue said.

"It seems that we can't do it halfway, so let's ignore her for now. How's Zhao Kan's investigation of Gu worms?" If Zhao Kan is close to the nobleman, Concubine Xian won't have time to trouble herself again.

Peanut smiled and said, "He has found the person who kidnapped Zheng Ruyi, but those two people have been silenced long ago."

Lin Jinhua walked slowly to the book case and sat down. Concubine Xian was really impeccable in her work. If Zhao Kan continued to investigate like this, he didn't know when he would have any clues.

She paused, then looked at Peanut: "Did the two people who were killed leave any other evidence?"

"I heard that the two of them were originally from the Wu Xing. Before they were hired to kidnap Zheng Ruyi, they had a dispute with the Wu Xing people, and they once said that they leaked." Peanut said.

"Wu Xing's..." Mo Xue listened aside, with a faint smile on her quiet face, she looked at Lin Jinhua: "In this case, someone must have given Wu Xing a task first, and those two took the task to do it Yes. There must be others who have seen the person who gave the order."

"This is a breakthrough point. Let Zhao Kan know as soon as possible. In addition, there are not many concubines in this capital. You should find out more. Most of these people have the same characteristic that they have been educated by concubines or nine concubines before. The prince's favor, Concubine Xian and Ninth Prince haven't left the capital for a long time. Go and visit the people they had contacted when they were outside the palace, and see if their household registrations are still in place. Or mark death." Lin Jinhua said.

Mo Feng was a little worried: "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to do this."

"Mo Yue is naturally slow to do it by herself, but isn't there someone who specializes in buying and selling information?" Lin Jinhua smiled lightly.

Mo Feng looked at her and suddenly realized.Isn't Shuiyunjian doing this kind of business? Although they spend some money, they still don't need the money.

"I'll do it now, servant girl." Mo Yue also laughed, and Peanut was stunned when he heard that, and hurriedly imitated Mo Yue and cupped his hands before leaving with her.

"Mo Feng, you can also do something for me." Lin Jinhua said, looking at Mo Yue's leaving back.

"Miss, just give orders."

The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up slightly, Concubine Xian must never have imagined that the eyes she cultivated so many would ruin her affairs one day.

In the past few days after Xu Zhaozhao woke up, his injuries recovered very quickly. First, in order to completely crush Lin Jinhua, Lu Yuyi almost took out his housekeeping skills to treat Xu Zhaozhao; Miss is much stronger, but after this incident, Mrs. Xu will not let her ride a horse again.

When Lin Jinhua came over, Mrs. Xu was forcing Xu Zhaozhao to drink medicine. Although her head was still wrapped in gauze, she could walk without any problem, and her complexion was good. Her big eyes were still flickering. Seeing Lin Jinhua coming, she was very happy He ran over and hugged her: "Sister Jinhua, Zhaozhao misses you."

"Thinking of me in your dreams?"

"En." Xu Zhaozhao nodded with a smile. '

Seeing her oily tone, Lin Jinhua just smiled and said, "The weather is fine today, let's go pick up my cousin out of the palace together."

Mrs. Xu was a little worried when she heard this, "Zhaozhao's illness..."

"Mother, I'm fine. If I continue to be bored, I'll really be sick." Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly interrupted her.She is lively and can't rest for a moment, so she is going crazy if she lies here all day long.

Lin Jinhua also followed suit: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Zhao Zhao."

Mrs. Xu saw what she said, and looked at her daughter who wanted to put on wings and fly out now, so she had to compromise, but she still agreed with three rules: "Come back as soon as it gets dark, don't stay around for too long, and don't ride a horse."

Xu Zhaozhao naturally agreed to all of them, simply changed his clothes and went out with Lin Jinhua.

After going out, Xu Zhaozhao looked at the big kites in Mo Feng's hands, and was very surprised: "Shall we fly kites in front of the palace gate?"

"Go and avenge you." Lin Jinhua smiled distressedly as she looked at her thin and pointed face.

Xu Zhaozhao narrowed her eyes evilly. Although she didn't know what method she used, she believed in Lin Jinhua very much, especially after knowing that she had saved herself by that method, she felt that this cousin was the most intelligent person in the world. not on.

"Okay!" She agreed, and Lin Jinhua took her to the palace.

The palace at this time.

In Concubine Xian's Jingxiu Palace, the atmosphere was extremely cold.

The Queen's three-day ban has expired and she is free to move about.

When she came, she saw Concubine Xian bowing her knees and respectfully, she didn't call her to get up, she just smiled and said: "Sister Xianfei is really capable."

"The concubine doesn't understand..."

"Don't you understand? Poison Lin Jinzheng, force her to go to Doctor Liu, and then kill Mrs. Dingnanhou's child, making her think that all this is the palace's twists and turns." The queen thought of Dingnanhou early this morning. The mansion's eyeliner said back and forth that Mrs. Ding Nanhou thought she was doing something, so she knew that all of this must be plotted by the concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian smiled softly when she heard the words: "The concubine weighs a few catties, don't you know the empress..."

"Snapped--!"

"Clear?" The queen gracefully withdrew her hand, looked at the blood-stained armor, slowly took it off and put it in Yun Jiang's hand, and then looked at her with a smile: "For so many years, my sister has hidden so well, even with Together with the Ninth Prince, I didn't even realize it, it's really dangerous, I almost fell into your trap."

A long bloodstain was drawn on Concubine Xian's face, and the blood slowly flowed down her cheeks, but she still calmly said: "Empress Empress, this concubine has always been on your side, and I never thought of fighting with you. There are also people..."

"Are you really an idiot? Concubine Xian, you are so capable. In a blink of an eye, you can turn the once mighty Concubine De into a respectable person today, and King Jing, who was once a popular candidate for the crown prince, has become a notorious person now. Gong thought, how many tricks do you have to use to drag me down from the back seat?" The queen sarcastically laughed.

"The concubine won't..." Concubine Xian knelt on the ground, but the queen interrupted her with a light sneer: "The concubine Yin who was in love with you back then, even if she protects you in every possible way and allows you to give birth to a royal heir , Such a great kindness, didn't you also kill her? Concubine Xian, others don't know how cruel you are, but I know it very well."

When Concubine Xian heard this, the begging and weakness in her eyes instantly disappeared.

She smiled and raised her eyes to look at the queen: "My empress also has something about that year..."

"I have never been as ruthless as you, Concubine Xian, do you really think you can really stir up storms in this harem by relying on the Empress Dowager? You also have to ask me if I agree or not." The Queen finished with a sneer, Glancing at Yun Jiang, Yun Jiang understood, and directly said to the bystanders: "Concubine Xian dares to disrespect the empress, as usual, she will be punished with thirty sticks."

After listening, the queen left while holding the hands of the other court ladies.

As soon as the queen left, Yun Jiang looked at the kneeling Concubine Xian with a sneer, "Your Majesty, she can't wait to show her fangs when she is proud of herself, and she doesn't know that Feng Shui takes turns." She still remembered the day that Concubine Xian wanted to give her The matter of marrying to the eunuch, when I thought about it, I didn't leave any room for retreat, I just said to the nurse who was executing the execution: "Thirty sticks, don't take it lightly, don't take it too hard, just let the concubine Xian develop a memory."

The nuns didn't understand what this meant, so they quickly agreed, and when she left, they hit her hard.Thirty boards, if you don't die, you will peel off the skin.

The queen came out of Jingxiu Palace, and then looked in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation: "The palace examination has started?"

"here we go."

"Let people watch to see if the top three are as Huijue said. If they really agree this time, then Master Huijue is afraid that it will be different." The queen smiled lightly, and turned around. head away.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The three rounds of questions and answers have been finished, and the emperor has already figured it out, so he just asked people to take the case files of all the previous exams and look through them slowly. Know who is really in trouble and who is fishing in troubled waters.

When he saw Wang Huiyuan's blank paper, he frowned: "Wang Huiyuan, you're here."

"My minister is here." Wang Huiyuan immediately stepped forward to salute, and his heart beat quickened. He was very confident that he would be among the top three after passing the palace test.

The emperor glanced at him indifferently. He had heard about the affairs of the Wang family before, but he only saw it as an unbelievable joke and didn't pay much attention to it. Moreover, he was pretty good in the palace exam just now.

Just as he was thinking, the Minister of Rites who was waiting outside the hall suddenly asked to see him.

The eunuch passed the words to the emperor's ears. After hearing this, the emperor immediately darkened his face, looked coldly at Wang Huiyuan below, and said coldly, "Come here, take him out, and he will not be an official in the court for life!"

Before Wang Huiyuan could react, the eunuch came over to hold him back, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong..."

"What did you do wrong?" The emperor snorted coldly, raised his hand, and directly recruited the Minister of Rites and his son Tao Mou to come in.

After Tao Mou entered the main hall, he saluted unhurriedly, and then explained clearly what happened last night, but he didn't mention Wang Ruyan, only Wang Huiyuan, and said: "If it wasn't for the shopkeeper's meeting this morning, The door is locked, and the students are afraid that they will really miss the palace exam."

Wang Huiyuan was stunned, he could see that he did it on purpose.

He turned his head to look at the emperor and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I just invited Mr. Tao to drink yesterday, and didn't lock the door, and this morning, I was also notified by people from the Ministry of Rites to take part in the palace examination."

"My lord, I have already asked the person who went to notify you. You have already arrived at the gate of the palace before the person came to your house. Didn't you plan it beforehand? And the shopkeeper of the inn also said that it was you who locked the lock." He saw it with his own eyes, and you said you would come back later." Master Tao, Minister of Rites, said coldly.

Wang Huiyuan was stunned, wasn't it Ru Yan who unlocked it, how could the shopkeeper see it with his own eyes, could it be that Tao was plotting to harm him?

He gritted his teeth and was about to speak, but the emperor was too lazy to listen, and said directly: "Take me down!"

The eunuchs quickly covered his mouth and dragged him out.

Xu Chengqing and Jiang Qingshu on one side looked at each other, frowning, and said nothing more.

The palace examination continued, and soon the emperor decided the top three. The No.1 champion was Xu Chengqing, the No.2 second place was Tao Mou, and the No.3 Tanhua was Jiang Qingshu.

After the emperor made his own decision, he asked about the zodiac signs and dates of birth of the three people. The answer was exactly the same as what Huijue had said before. Then he believed that Huijue was not playing tricks, and that these three people were selected by him, so there was no possibility of problems. is.

After the emperor personally selected the top three, he asked everyone to go back, and picked out the three people's papers to read carefully, and made sure that there were no problems before asking people to draw up the imperial decree.

The father-in-law on the side handed the tea. Seeing him closing his eyes and rubbing the center of his brows, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are also tired. The weather is fine today, why don't you go for a walk in the Royal Garden. I heard that all the princesses are there today." Playing around, you can go to the lively and lively place."

Hearing this, the emperor loosened his frown, stood up and loosened his muscles, and said with a smile: "Today, I also got a few talents. I'm happy. Let's go and have a look at the imperial garden." After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I went to the Royal Garden.

The Imperial Garden is close to the Shenwu Gate, not far from the Shenwu Gate, is the Jingxiu Palace of Concubine Xian.

When the emperor passed by, before he could fully enjoy the warm spring, he saw a sudden shadow in the sky. He looked up and was stunned when he saw the colorful kite.

Seeing this, Eunuch An's complexion also sank, and he hurriedly ordered the little eunuch beside him: "Go and see who is flying the kite!"

"No need." The emperor turned his head slightly, and was about to leave when the kite, which was flying well that day, suddenly broke its string, floated in the sky for a while, and then swayed down.

When the emperor saw the butterfly kite hanging on the book in front of him, he clenched his fist behind his back, his face livid: "Where is Concubine Xian now?"

Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine virtuous bumped into the empress, and was punished by the empress to beat her thirty times."

The emperor snorted softly: "I've only been a virtuous concubine for a few days, and I dare not take the queen seriously. Come here, and give orders. From now on, I will remove the virtuous concubine and demote her to be an official woman, and go to the side of the respected person." Wait!" After saying that, he walked away indifferently.

When Eunuch An heard this, he also knew that the emperor was furious, so he didn't dare to say another word, he just asked someone to pick up the kite quickly and then left.

At this time, in front of the Shenwu Gate, the attendants looked at the people in front of them, and could only persuasion: "Princess Yongle, this is the imperial palace, and kites are not allowed to fly."

"I know." Xu Zhaozhao said anxiously: "It was my new bird who was disobedient and grabbed my kite and came here, brother guard, now the kite has flown into you, please ask for me, don't disturb me Noble person in the palace, I will not go again."

Hearing this, the attendant didn't want to offend the newly promoted princess, so he had to ask someone to go to the palace and say that a young eunuch came out with a kite in a short time.

Sitting in the carriage not far away, Lin Jinhua watched the little eunuch flustered, and knew that the matter was likely to be completed. She thought it would take a while, but now it seems that the emperor is probably near the imperial garden.

Not long after, Xu Zhaozhao came back with the kite, got into the carriage and looked at Lin Jinhua excitedly, and said, "Sister Jinhua, are we going to take revenge like this?"

"Go back and wait for the news." Lin Jinhua smiled. Today, in order to beg for mercy, the shopkeeper said that the thing Xianfei fears most is kites.The shopkeeper couldn't explain why, but Lin Jinhua guessed that it was probably related to the death of Concubine Yin.When the emperor sees the old things again, he will definitely think of the sad things in the past. Even if he took care of the empress dowager's face and didn't do anything to the concubine Xian in the past two days, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it this time.
