Chapter 82 Another purpose
After returning to Xu's mansion, Lin Jinhua immediately asked someone to bring medicine to apply to Xu Chengqing's face. After all, Sun Wanwan's scratch was so hard that she opened the flesh. If the medicine is not prepared properly, scars may be left in the future.
Xu Zhaozhao looked at it from the side, feeling very distressed: "The next time my brother meets Miss Sun, he should stay away from her, as she will not be safe."
"You girl, you are becoming more and more restrained in speaking." Mrs. Xu twisted her ears angrily, then looked at Xu Chengqing and said, "This time, thanks to Jinhua's smartness, she found out what was wrong with Sun Wanwan, otherwise you would retreat with your bold words before." I got married to the Sun family, and now I'm going to marry someone back again."
Xu Chengqing just spread his hands helplessly: "How did I know that the person in that room was actually her? I don't know who pushed me from behind."
"Could it be that Mr. Yan?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Xu Chengqing thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "At the gate of Pingxi Palace, when his mother said that to you, I was on guard against him, so when a group of us went to the front yard, we also took a special look at it. , He didn’t come with us at all, he seemed to come out after something happened, although he kept saying that he saw me molesting Sun Wanwan, but I’m sure it wasn’t him who pushed me.”
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, and the people who went with her were all the top ten talented people in this spring. If it wasn't for that Mr. Yan, it meant that there were queens among those people.The queen seems to be doing everything for Huai Yan, but every step she takes seems to have another purpose.
Lin Jinhua didn't figure out the cause and effect, but she didn't say anything to make them worry. After Xu Chengqing finished applying the medicine, she found an excuse to come out first.
Not far from the yard, a voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned around and saw that Jiang Qingshu, who had been following her all along, was chasing after her.
Lin Jinhua watched him slowly approaching eagerly, took two steps back and stood still, then smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, is something wrong?"
"Miss Lin, I'm here to thank you." Jiang Qingshu talked to her, and he felt a slight heat in his ears.She looks really good-looking, like a fairy in a picture scroll, and she has a high status and a very nice person, especially when she looks at herself and smiles, her pool-like eyes seem to be shining brightly, her red lips are raised, As bright as flowers in April.
Seeing his straight eyes, Lin Jinhua coughed lightly, and said, "If Mr. Jiang talks about saving your mother before, you really don't need to worry about it. Ordinary people who are capable of helping each other will certainly not stand idly by when they see such a scene."
"Yes..." Jiang Qingshu woke up from the trance, clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, afraid that the trembling would cause her to notice, so he tried his best to hide his excitement and said: "Miss Lin has a kind heart, if she can use Jiang in the future In a certain place, Jiang has a certain definition."
Lin Jinhua knew what he was thinking. Although he was cunning and ruthless in his previous life, he hadn't reached such a dead end in this life, so he must still value friendship, so he just smiled and said, "I don't want anything else, but my cousin is afraid of you in the future." I will also be an official in the same dynasty as Mr. Jiang, my cousin is straightforward, and I am afraid of causing trouble in the future, so I will ask Mr. Jiang to help me more."
"Yes……"
Just as Jiang Qingshu finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a maid walking quickly not far away.
Mo Xue came over, bowed to Lin Jinhua, and said: "Miss, Ah Bao has made good tea again, and I will brew it, waiting for you to taste it."
Lin Jinhua glanced at her, knowing that there was news, she just wrote to Jiang Qing, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Miss, please." Jiang Qingshu hastily handed him off.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, turned around and left.
When she was far away, Jiang Qingshu dared to raise his head and looked at her who was dressed plainly today.The bluestone road is sprinkled with fine sunlight falling from the dense leaves, and the warm spring breeze blows down the white rice-sized flowers on the tree, dancing with the wind, accompanied by her leaving back, beautiful like a painting.
"Jinhua..." Jiang Qingshu read these two words carefully, until his back disappeared, then leaned over to pick up the fine white flowers that fell on the ground, carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief, sniffed, and really It is very fragrant.
After Lin Jinhua returned to the room, she saw that Peanut had come over with Qiao makeup, but this teenage boy, Peanut, dressed up in women's clothes, was a bit charming.
Peanut's face was flushed, and when he saw Lin Jinhua coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Miss, I was worried that coming here alone during the day would attract people's suspicion, so I changed my clothes." With it, he had to pay attention.
There was also a little smile on Mo Xue's perennially cold face, and she followed Lin Jinhua to the inner room, only to hear Lin Jinhua smile and say: "It's okay, let's talk about what it is."
"It was you who asked to investigate the relationship between Concubine Xian and Pingxi Palace. There is already news." Peanut talked about the business, and the redness on his face faded a little.
"So fast?" Lin Jinhua was a little surprised.
Peanut scratched his head shyly, and said: "Sister Mo Yue went directly to another group of beggars' dens to fight and gave them benefits. Now it's quick for them to do things. These beggars are not as small as us, they are all entrenched An old beggar in the capital for many years, he also knows a lot about the past."
Lin Jinhua looked at Mo Xue, and Mo Xue said: "Mo Yue has always been able to move but not talk."
"Not bad." Lin Jinhua took a sip of tea in satisfaction, and the honey was accompanied by the scent of scented tea, which made people feel very sweet and relaxed: "Continue talking."
Peanut sniffed the sweet smell in the air and was stunned. He heard her voice and quickly came back to his senses: "Yes. Concubine Xian's original name is Xue Jia, and her natal family is in Wuzhou, thousands of miles away. She was drafted into the palace back then. The relationship with Prince Pingxi's mansion is the biggest relationship with the distant sister of the wife of Prince Pingxi's son."
"This relationship is indeed far away." Lin Jinhua raised her brows slightly.The reason why Yuan Luyi called Zhao Qing Ninth Brother was because of this relationship, and secondly, it was probably because of Xianfei's ability to manage it.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Peanut heaved a sigh of relief, and took out another list: "This is a list bought from Shuiyunjian. There are not many people, only more than 20. Excluding those who died, there are only [-] people left. Less than ten."
Lin Jinhua took the list and looked at it. He Xiang's name was on the list, but Huang Li's was not.
She thought about it, and took a deep breath: "I'm afraid these are the core ones, and these people have been lurking in various mansions for so many years, and they have already cultivated their own people."
Peanut nodded: "Sister Mo Yue also means the same, so I will continue to send people to inquire."
Lin Jinhua glanced at the list, and handed it to Mo Xue: "Go and see whose homes these people are in."
"Yes." Mo Xue replied.
Peanut looked at Lin Jinhua, opened his mouth, and swallowed the words in his throat.
Lin Jinhua saw that he hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Peanut just knelt down and said, "Miss, I just want to ask, when will Lao Liu come back? He has been away for so long, we all miss him."
"Did Lao Liu treat you well before?" Seeing him like this, Lin Jinhua asked and answered.
"If it weren't for the sixth child, we would have been bullied to death by those old beggars next door. When he came here, he looked like a noble son in his clothes, but he was willing to stay with us for so many years. We have long regarded him as family. gone."
"Family..." Lin Jinhua put down the teacup and leaned forward slightly: "Then do you know the real identity of Lao Liu?" The only thing Lao Liu revealed to her was that someone killed his brother back then, but he kept It has never been said who the enemy is or what his identity is.At the beginning of this year, he suddenly said that he would leave for a period of time, as if he came back after that, and the whole person changed.
Peanut shook his head: "He never said it, but I saw a red snake-shaped mark on his back, but we asked him where the mark came from, and he never said it."
Lin Jinhua looked at Mo Xue, who also shook her head, expressing that she had never heard of it.
Seeing this, Lin Jinhua didn't say any more, and just said to Peanut, "Lao Liu will go to Fanbang to investigate the matter, and it will take several months to go back and forth, so you don't have to worry."
Peanut nodded reluctantly.
Lin Jinhua always felt that there was still something wrong with the house before, so she looked at Peanut and said, "Go and tell Mo Yue, wait for me at the back door of Xu Mansion tonight."
"it is good."
Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Jinhua called Ah Bao in, and said, "You pack some of these scented teas and let Peanut bring them for everyone to taste."
Peanut looked at Lin Jinhua in surprise, quickly waved his hands and said, "Miss, you don't have to..."
"Try it for A Bao, let's see if it's good." Lin Jinhua said looking at A Bao who was holding back his smile as soon as he entered the room.
A Bao also nodded quickly, this is the end of the matter.
Zhang Xiaofang also thought about the scented tea, and she was a practical person, so she quickly made a batch and sent it to Pingxi Palace.
There are many female relatives in Pingxi Palace, although today's birthday banquet is not happy, but there is still something in the mind to sit down and drink tea together and listen to people's gossip.
What Zhang Xiaofang is talking about here is dry mouth: "Women should drink more scented tea, not only for beauty and beauty, but also for staying youthful. If the women of the people hadn't heard that the ladies and wives of the Pingxi Palace are all beautiful and beautiful, they would not let go of this One tael of silver and one tael of flower tea will be given away for free."
All the girls were coaxed by her, and the tea was really good, not to mention the fragrance of flowers that all girls like.
One of the plump women who looked to be in her 30s took another sip before smiling at him and said, "Your little mouth is sweeter than your tea, but you just said you plan to open a Duobao Pavilion in the capital?"
"I'm still thinking about it." Zhang Xiaofang laughed as she looked at the fair-skinned woman in front of her, but she was obviously full of fine lines due to too much worry.
"What do you think if I don't buy your stock?" She smiled.
Zhang Xiaofang was naturally pleasantly surprised. He planned to find King Pingxi today, but his birthday banquet was messed up and he dared not go. Wouldn't it be nice to have the support of the imperial concubine?
She quickly responded: "Then I would like to thank Shi Zifei."
"You're welcome. I just think you're smart. If you have more time to come to the palace in the future, if my green clothes are still in the palace, I'll definitely be able to play with you." She was a little sentimental .
The wives and ladies next to her were also savvy, and hurriedly comforted her: "The princess is auspicious, she has her own destiny, she was directed by the emperor to go to the southwest, who would dare to make things difficult for the emperor?"
"That's right, the Crown Princess doesn't have to worry."
Everyone comforted her, but Shi Zifei just listened, and had her own worries in her heart.
While talking, a maid came from outside and whispered something in Shi Zifei's ear. After Shi Zifei listened, she frowned, and said: "As usual, send me back, just say I'm sick, so I can't take care of you." .”
"Yes." The servant girl responded, and walked out quickly, and soon arrived at the corner outside the Pingxi Palace, looked at the person who came to pass the message, and smiled apologetically: "Because of the Princess, my concubine has no tea and dinner. I haven't thought about it for a few days, and I can't leave the room right now, so please tell my father-in-law to let Jiacai people wait patiently. After all, the Ninth Prince is still at the border. Even if he looks at the Ninth Prince's face, the Emperor will not do anything. " After finishing speaking, he took out 200 taels of silver note from his sleeve and gave it to him: "This is the little concubine's little wish. Everywhere in the palace needs to be dredged up. Please accept it."
The empress Qiao Zhuang who came over listened, and only sighed slightly: "Then thank the concubine for me, the Sa family will go back to the empress." After finishing speaking, she carefully covered the cloak on her body, looked around, Then he turned his head and went to the palace.
At this time in the palace.
The nobleman has moved back to the Yonghe Palace from Changheng Palace. Zhao Kan was sitting on one side, looking at Jiacai Ren who was kneeling and rubbing her legs, and said, "Mother and Concubine, I have something to tell you. Let’s send it out first.”
Only then did the honorable man slowly sit up from the beauty's couch, glanced at the talented person kneeling respectfully at one side to serve him, and sarcastically said: "You used to be considered to be very beautiful, and you never thought that you would be like this after being demoted. Come and serve me obediently." After finishing speaking, she waved to the maid at one side, who understood and immediately brought a cup of hot tea.
The nobleman asked the court lady to bring the tea to Jiacai, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard today, this tea is for you, drink it."
Jia Cairen took it with a very calm expression, looking at the hot tea, hesitant.
The palace lady said: "Why, Jiacai people don't like the tea given by our empress?"
"Don't dare..."
"If you don't dare, just drink it. Why don't you have servants to serve you?" The maid is extremely arrogant and disdainful. Jiacai people are only of the rank of official ladies, and they are a little bit better than court ladies, and this year Old and decrepit, even if there is still a son, how can he climb up?
Jiacai looked at the honorable person who was staring at him and was waiting to see the show, knowing that he would never leave the door until he finished drinking the tea, so he could only lift the lid of the tea and start to drink slowly. As soon as she raised her hand, the hot tea was thrown over. Before she could let go, all the tea had been poured into her mouth, and the rest was splashed on her face. Her well-maintained face suddenly turned red, and her mouth It also seemed to be hot.
"Oh, look at how clumsy this servant is." The palace maid shouted, and immediately said to the respectable person: "Please punish me."
The nobleman smiled faintly: "Forget it, you didn't mean it either. Since Jiacai has been burned, go down and rest. You don't have to come to serve today."
There were tears in Jiacai's eyes, but he still showed great tolerance for this kind of humiliation, saluted politely, and left expressionlessly.
As soon as she left, the honored person looked at the girl with admiration: "What's your name?"
"Slave forsythia." The maid said immediately.
"Very good, stay by my side to serve you from now on." The honored man was overjoyed when he thought of Jiacai's distressed appearance just now.
The court lady was also overjoyed, and after she finished her salute, she saw that Zhao Kan had something to say, and immediately retreated with the other court ladies.
After everyone had left, the honored person looked at Zhao Kan: "How's the investigation on the Gu worm going?"
"She is very shrewd. After the incident happened, she asked people to clean up all the evidence. A few scapegoats were caught, but she was not involved at all." Zhao Kan felt annoyed when he thought of this.
The respectable person also frowned: "Is it possible that you will suffer from this dull loss? If you send someone to investigate again, you must find her, let the emperor condemn her to death, and see how she will continue to dance in the future."
"Yes, I will definitely do it, but today, I have something to ask..." Zhao Kan looked at her, recalling what he asked, a little excited, and worried that she would refuse.
Seeing his expression, the respected person felt something was wrong: "What's the matter?"
"My son wants to marry Lin Jinhua..."
"Confused!" Before Zhao Kan finished speaking, Jinggui stood up in anger: "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"
"But mother and concubine, isn't it our plan to marry Lin Jinhua from the beginning?" Zhao Kan was unwilling.
"Stupid thing, I wanted to marry Lin Jinhua back then because of his father Lin Luzhi's [-] troops. Now Lin Luzhi is just a grassroots person, and he is as cowardly as a mouse hiding in the countryside, not to mention a missing person. Lin Jincheng, what's the use of you marrying her?" the respectable man said angrily.
Zhao Kan argued strongly: "Isn't there still Xu's mansion? Judging from the last time the concubine was framed, the emperor attaches great importance to the Xu family, and Xu Boshan is also the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine. Most of the officials appointed by the imperial court in the future will be him. disciple, this is also a harmless thing when we come here."
The honored man looked at him suspiciously: "You really think so?"
"My son..."
"The Xu family has always been loyal and did not participate in party struggles. Do you really think he will help you?" The respected person continued to ask.
Zhao Kan was at a loss for words, so he simply knelt down and gritted his teeth, "I want to marry Lin Jinhua. If I can't marry her, I have no intention of fighting for the throne..."
"Slap!" The honorable slapped down, gnashing his teeth angrily, "What kind of magic did she use to bewitch you!"
"Mother..."
"Okay, don't mention her anymore. As long as I live with you for one day, you won't be allowed to marry her!"
"But……"
"Get out, and if you mention her again, don't come to see me." Jinggui was so angry that his face was ashen, and he almost wanted to slap his son to death.
Seeing her furious, Zhao Kan also knew her temper, so he could only grit his teeth, walk away and wait for future plans.
As soon as she left, the distinguished person sat down with his forehead supported.She has been focusing on Jiacai recently, and has forgotten about Lin Jinhua. Now it seems that she must die!
As night fell, a carriage quickly passed the already empty street, except for a lantern shaking in front of the carriage, there was no light anywhere.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of an alley.
The people in the carriage looked at each other, and then the woman with the veil got out of the carriage, entered the alley, and stopped in front of a small house after going around several turns.
She stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon there was a voice from inside: "Who?"
"it's me."
When the people inside heard the sound, they immediately woke up, and then they lifted the lanterns and opened the courtyard door.
When Lin Jinhua saw the person coming, it was the tall man who was following behind him the last time he saw 'Lao Liu'.
The man's gaze was still the same cold. Looking at her standing at the door, he frowned and said, "Why are you here so late? But what do you need to check?"
"It's because I have something to do, but the carriage broke down. I know you are nearby, so go and see for me first." Lin Jinhua said.
The man knew that she often came out in the middle of the night, so he didn't suspect him, so he followed her forward step by step.
Lin Jinhua walked slowly forward, and the man followed behind. Every step she took, Lin Jinhua could feel the chill from him staring at her.
Soon they arrived at the carriage. In order not to be exposed, Lin Jinzheng only left a sixth child who was not good at kung fu to watch by the carriage. The man looked at the carriage before he went to look at the carriage. He had no idea that the small house had been occupied by someone at this moment. sneaked in.
In the small courtyard, Mo Yue and Mo Xue glanced at each other: "I'll go and lure people away, you go find them." Mo Xue said.
Mo Yue nodded.
Mo Xue looked at the closed doors and deliberately made a noise, and soon men with big knives appeared.
"Who are you!" Someone shouted.
Without saying a word, Mo Xue turned around and headed towards the other direction of the capital.Only then did Mo Yue sneak in carefully.
The yard is not big, so it's easy to find, but what surprised her the most was that there was no trace of training in it, that is to say, the sixth child didn't train anyone at all, so where did these masters come from?
She searched around until she saw a large pile of freshly dug soil piled up in the backyard, and then she found their new basement. After entering the basement, she found that the person locked up in the cell was not the sixth child. .
She split the chain of the prison cell with a sword, and stepped forward to help the sixth child: "Are you all right?"
"Come on..."
Lao Liu managed to open his eyes and saw that it was her, and said in a low voice.
Before Mo Yue could react, all the lights in the dungeon were turned on suddenly, and the 'old six' who had been ordered by Lin Jinhua to go to Fanbang to check Wei Yunyi's identity suddenly appeared at the door of the dungeon.
The signal flare shot up into the sky and made a loud noise. When the man who was repairing the carriage saw it, his expression darkened. He dropped the lantern in his hand, raised his hand and grabbed Lin Jinhua's neck.
Peanut froze in place with fright, Lin Jinhua managed to calm down a bit, and broke the wax pill in his hand, but the man seemed to have been prepared, grabbed her by the neck, lifted her up to the wall, and said ironically, "On your point You're so petty, but you also want to escape?"
Lin Jinhua only felt that his hands were like iron palms, strangling her neck tightly, as if even the bones were about to be crushed, she wanted to break his hands with her hands, but it didn't work at all.
The man snorted coldly, threw her on the ground, pulled out the soft sword from his waist, and snorted coldly: "Since you are looking for death, you can't blame me! After all, he raised the sword and stabbed at her directly.
Lin Jinhua gasped for breath, watching the poisonous long sword stabbing towards her, she managed to turn over and dodge, but she had never experienced Wu Xi's body and his swiftness, and soon the long sword went straight towards him. Her heart stabbed.
Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce her heart, she gritted her teeth and prepared to try the poison powder she had just developed.But if it doesn't work... if it doesn't work, she will have to die. Thinking of Zhao Huaiyan's sad expression last night, he must be even more sad when he hears the news of his death...
"What about my little tricks?"
Just when Lin Jinyu felt that he was about to die, a black figure suddenly appeared behind the man, and there was a faint scent of medicine in the air, and the sword in the man's hand was opened with a 'ding'.
Seeing that the long sword was blocked, Lin Jinhua felt that her body was a little weak and about to fall against the wall, but someone grabbed her waist firmly.
"Huaiyan..." Lin Jinhua was held tightly by him, leaning against his chest and smelling the scent of medicine mixed with the smell of blood on his body, her eyes were slightly astringent.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Huaiyan said in a low voice, then raised his sword to embrace her and went forward to kill.
Even though he was injured, this man was no match for him. Zhao Huaiyan's sword pierced through his chest with barely a few moves.
"You..." The man finally saw his face clearly, but he was full of shock.
"Women who dare to touch this king, damn it!" Zhao Huaiyan pulled out his long sword indifferently, and the man stared and fell to the ground in disbelief, without breathing.
Just after drawing out the sword, Zhao Huaiyan let out a muffled grunt in pain, and then blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his body went limp.
Lin Jinhua grasped his pulse with her backhand, her face tightened slightly, she quickly took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve, took the pill and put it in his mouth, before saying, "Get in the carriage first."
Peanut also recovered and hurried to help.
After Zhao Huaiyan got into the carriage, he closed his eyes and leaned against the side of the carriage, holding Lin Jinhua's hand and saying, "Don't take such a risk next time."
Lin Jinhua's heart was full of doubts, because the man just now obviously knew Zhao Huaiyan, and seemed to know about Zhao Huaiyan's injury before, but she didn't ask, but nodded: "I'll send the prince back to the mansion first..."
"Go to your room." Zhao Huaiyan held her hand firmly, he knew she must have seen something.
Lin Jinhua's expression darkened: "I can't carry my lord on my back..."
"I can go by myself." Zhao Huaiyan knew that she was a little annoyed, annoyed that he didn't tell her what to do.He barely opened his eyes to look at her, but when he saw her glowing red eyes, his heart stopped, and he said softly: "When this matter is over, I will definitely tell you everything."
When Lin Jinhua heard this, the anger in her heart finally subsided, and she could only hold back her sourness with a choked voice and said: "Then the prince promised me that you must tell me if you have anything to do in the future."
Zhao Huaiyan watched her trying to hold back her tears, couldn't help it anymore, hugged her in his arms, stroked her long hair hanging down her back, and responded with a soft voice.
In the dungeon at this time.
Mo Yue looked at the person in front of her, and held a sword to him coldly: "Who are you?"
"Since you found out, die." After the man with the same face as the sixth child finished speaking, he didn't care about anything else, and was directly killed with a knife, but the people around him rushed forward and felt a voice behind him. At first glance, Gao Zhi and Mo Feng had already led people to stand at the door of the basement, their murderous intent was high, and it was destined to be a fierce battle tonight.
When Lin Jinhua returned to Xu's mansion, all the wounds on Zhao Huaiyan's body were open, so she had to fetch hot water to wash him. When the medicine was administered again, Mo Feng and Mo Xue had already returned.
Both of them were slightly injured, and it was also because they left so suddenly today that the people there were not prepared and they were able to escape easily.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the person lying on the bed, and said softly, "My lord, rest first."
"En." Zhao Huaiyan nodded, watching her turn and leave, looking at her back, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.I don't know when it will start, she will also worry about herself and cry for herself. The road ahead will be much easier with her company all the way.
When Lin Jinhua arrived at the flower hall, she saw that only Mo Feng and Mo Xue were waiting, and asked, "Where is Mo Yue?"
"I found Lao Liu, but Lao Liu has been imprisoned for a long time, and his injuries have not healed, so Mo Yue took him to recuperate first." Mo Feng said.
"It's good that nothing happened. I was negligent this time. I don't know that these people are from the world." Lin Jinhua walked to one side and sat down.
Mo Xue shook her head and looked at her: "Miss, don't blame yourself, these people are not ordinary people. And if the leader is not the twin brother of Lao Liu, he will know how to disguise himself." After finishing speaking, she looked at Mo Feng At a glance, there seems to be something hidden.
Lin Jinhua saw that their expressions were abnormal, and said, "Is it related to the prince?"
Mo Xue gritted her teeth, looked at Mo Feng, Mo Feng sighed inwardly, but still nodded: "Has the prince ever mentioned Princess Xianyue from the neighboring country to the miss?"
"Never." Lin Jinhua slightly tightened her hand on the side, and seeing Mo Feng Mo Xue's expression, she knew that Princess Xianyue had a special relationship with Zhao Huaiyan.
"This princess once worshiped a master. Her master was good at disguise and only accepted her as a closed disciple. However, her master passed away a few years ago. So..."
"So the only person in this world who knows how to disguise herself is this Princess Xuanyue." After Lin Jinhua said that, there was a trace of jealousy in her heart.She suppressed the jealousy, and said lightly: "Maybe someone stole the teacher, maybe Lao Liu really has a twin brother, let's talk about it after Lao Liu wakes up."
Mo Feng and Mo Xue looked at each other, seeing that she was not angry, she was relieved.
In the next few days, the capital was extremely quiet, and even Sun Wanwan did not cause any disturbances, but the Pingxi Palace's intention to make peace with the Xu family still did not stop.
Early in the morning, Lin Jinhua changed her clothes and was about to meet Huijue. When she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Xu Zhaozhao running over angrily, her little face blushing.
When it got closer, Lin Jinhua looked at her sweating profusely, she must have come running over, she just smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's not Pingxi Palace, do you know what they want to do?" Xu Zhaozhao was furious when he mentioned this matter.
"Marriage?"
"Huh?" Xu Zhaozhao saw that she had guessed it, so he looked around and lowered his voice, "Do you know who they want to match me with?"
Lin Jinhua thought for a while, among the sons who appeared at the birthday banquet that day, there were no grandchildren of King Pingxi, and the population of Prince Pingxi's mansion was indeed not prosperous. The marriage candidate is chosen.
"Could it be that young master who is only ten years old?"
"It's him!" Xu Zhaozhao yelled angrily, "I said why he looked at me so coldly that day, hum, he doesn't want to marry, and I don't want to marry yet!"
Lin Jinhua laughed softly, and comforted her as she watched her run away, "Auntie is sensible, and won't marry you off."
Xu Zhaozhao breathed out slightly: "If that's the case, it would be great." After finishing speaking, seeing Lin Jinhua's black-blue hang silk wide-sleeve skirt, which looked very refreshing, he asked with a smile, "Sister Jinhua wants where to?"
"I want to see Ruyan." Lin Jinhua said, speaking, it may be a long time since I heard from Wang Ruyan.
Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly said: "Then I'll go with you, I'm too bored at home all day."
Lin Jinhua tapped her forehead like Mrs. Xu, and said with a smile: "Have you finished copying the big characters that uncle asked you to copy? If you haven't finished copying, continue copying at home. Tomorrow the imperial court will issue an imperial edict to seal your cousin's official position, and you will take it tomorrow." Imperial decree, let's go outside the city to play together."
"Really?"
"Of course, isn't the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon?" Lin Jinhua smiled before turning her head and leaving.The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and Master Huijue can "show off his supernatural powers" again. On the Dragon Boat Festival in the previous life, Zhao Kan's mother and son took the opportunity to play a good game of chess.
Xu Zhaozhao was so excited that he immediately forgot the unhappiness just now, and said, "Then I'll go and prepare the things I need to play tomorrow."
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Lin Jinhua didn't say anything, and let her go, and only stepped out of the mansion after she left.
Huijue only moved out in the past two days, and finally arrived at his mansion. His tense heart at the time in the palace was also relaxed, but he also had other ideas. If Lin Jinhua could create a "miracle" by himself, Then why should I still listen to her?It's better to find a way to create it yourself, so that you can get rid of her first, and then become the national teacher in a glorious manner.
Just when he thought he had a good idea, someone came to report.
"Master Guoshi, someone sent it just now, saying that you are invited to gather at Cuiming Residence outside the residence." The young man said.
Huijue glanced at a copper plate in the boy's hand, and his heart skipped a beat. Isn't this Lin Jinhua's secret signal?
"Where is Cuiming Residence?"
"It's less than 200 meters to the left outside the mansion." The boy said.
Huijue didn't pay attention to this when he came, and hesitant when he heard this.
Seeing this, the servant asked, "The servant went to reject them?"
"and many more……"
Huijue called the boy to stop, thinking about it, but he didn't think he had the ability to deal with Lin Jinhua now, and he didn't know who was behind her.
After thinking about it, he still changed his clothes and put on a shoulder-length gauze hat, and walked towards Cuimingju.
When he soon reached the door of the private room on the second floor of Cuiming Residence, he hesitated instead.
Lin Jinhua looked at the shadow at the door, and stopped the hand that was slowly turning the teacup, and said softly: "Since the master is here, why don't you come in and talk about the hesitation?"
After hearing this, Huijue opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, seeing that Lin Jinhua was alone, he felt a little more relaxed, but just after he walked in, the door was closed from the outside with a snap. Huijue was very nervous when he heard the snap, and was frightened. Almost jumped up.
Looking at him like this, Lin Jinhua already guessed what he was planning.
"Master seems to be doing well in the palace."
"good……"
"Being deeply trusted by the queen mother, it's not only okay, but accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If you make a careless move, you will lose the whole game. I heard that the governor of Wei has already entered the capital recently. When you see the master, you should take a look at it." You can recognize it." Lin Jinhua poured a cup of tea for him, and raised his hand to signal: "Master looks very nervous, why don't you sit down and have a sip of tea first."
Seeing that she was so calm, Huijue thought she hadn't guessed her purpose, and said: "Miss Lin, you will help me with this matter. After all, what you said before is that Miss Wang is the daughter of Guanyin. , I mentioned it to the Queen Mother again before leaving the palace, and I am afraid that the oral order will come down today."
Lin Jinhua raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and looked at him indifferently: "Master thinks we're making a deal?"
Huijue looked at the beautiful woman who was so evil, and felt a little uncertain: "Miss Lin, I..."
"You and I are grasshoppers on the same boat. You should be very clear about this. When the Xu family had an accident, you stood by and watched. I don't care about you and let you take the position of the national teacher, but if you want to be independent, I advise you If you have the ability, then make this plan, because even if I can let you go, the people behind me are not necessarily, once betrayed, the lightest thing is to smash the bones, peeling the skin and tearing the bones, smashing the bones and ashes, do you think the master can bear it?"
Huijue trembled all over, and hurriedly got up to explain: "I don't mean to be independent..."
"That's good." Lin Jinhua looked calm and didn't talk to him too much, but his thoughts popped up, and he wouldn't stop for a while, just said: "With one Huijue missing, I can still support the first one." Two, or even a third, but you have to figure out how many lives you have.”
"Yes..." Huijue felt his forehead start to sweat.She is clearly only in her teens, but she has such a strong aura that she is suppressed to death. Such a woman is not an ordinary woman, she is clearly a witch.
Thinking of the word "witch girl", he lowered his head even more.
Lin Jinhua glanced at him lightly before saying, "I came to see you for tomorrow's business."
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival..."
"That's right, it's also the queen's birthday. The queen has advocated frugality all these years and never held extravagant banquets, but she goes out of the palace every year to go to Puji Temple to pray for a day."
"Could something happen to the empress tomorrow?"
"Yes, and it's still a big deal." Lin Jinhua recalled that the bloodbath in the previous life was also the sin of the nobleman and Zhao Kan, but the queen deserved it, but now the queen is still Huaiyan's adoptive mother, and it is convenient to have her in Huaiyan. A lot, so she still won't let the queen fall down from such a high position, but she has to avenge the Xu family and herself everywhere.
After Lin Jinhua explained to him, Huijue's expression became serious: "Is this... really going to happen?"
"Master doesn't believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's cruel." Huijue frowned.
"It's cruel, that's why the master has to report to the queen mother in advance, so that as many people as possible can be rescued." Lin Jinhua turned to look out the window, and the sun had risen high at this moment, and it was sunny.
Huijue saw that she was no longer going to say more, and when she thought that her thoughts were all being told by her, she had to back away anxiously, and couldn't think of anything else.
After Huijue left, Mo Feng came in from the outside and said, "Miss, the carriage is ready, do you want to go to Wang's house?"
"En." Lin Jinhua replied, turned around and was about to go, but before she left, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
The man was thrown out of the tavern, and the people in the tavern were still cursing: "Why drink if you don't have money?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Who doesn't know? Wang Yushi's family is a useless piece of trash. I couldn't pass Chunwei's exam, so I used trivial means to harm people... But it's true, after all, you are the one who doesn't even let your own sister go!" The barman finished speaking , spat and turned away.
Not long after, another person walked out of the tavern, leaned over and helped him up, despite Wang Huiyuan's beating and scolding, he still put him in a good-tempered carriage.
"Who is that?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Mo Feng glanced at him and said, "Master Tao Mou, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Huiyuan planned to harm him before, but the slaves heard that this Mr. Tao seems to intend to marry Miss Wang."
"A concubine..." Lin Jinhua looked indifferently. This Tao was somewhat famous in his previous life, but like Jiang Qingshu, he was not well-known. He married Ru Yan, perhaps because he felt that Ru Yan's innocence had been ruined, and he just happened to be able to marry her. Is he a bastard?
(End of this chapter)
After returning to Xu's mansion, Lin Jinhua immediately asked someone to bring medicine to apply to Xu Chengqing's face. After all, Sun Wanwan's scratch was so hard that she opened the flesh. If the medicine is not prepared properly, scars may be left in the future.
Xu Zhaozhao looked at it from the side, feeling very distressed: "The next time my brother meets Miss Sun, he should stay away from her, as she will not be safe."
"You girl, you are becoming more and more restrained in speaking." Mrs. Xu twisted her ears angrily, then looked at Xu Chengqing and said, "This time, thanks to Jinhua's smartness, she found out what was wrong with Sun Wanwan, otherwise you would retreat with your bold words before." I got married to the Sun family, and now I'm going to marry someone back again."
Xu Chengqing just spread his hands helplessly: "How did I know that the person in that room was actually her? I don't know who pushed me from behind."
"Could it be that Mr. Yan?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Xu Chengqing thought about it carefully, and shook his head: "At the gate of Pingxi Palace, when his mother said that to you, I was on guard against him, so when a group of us went to the front yard, we also took a special look at it. , He didn’t come with us at all, he seemed to come out after something happened, although he kept saying that he saw me molesting Sun Wanwan, but I’m sure it wasn’t him who pushed me.”
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, and the people who went with her were all the top ten talented people in this spring. If it wasn't for that Mr. Yan, it meant that there were queens among those people.The queen seems to be doing everything for Huai Yan, but every step she takes seems to have another purpose.
Lin Jinhua didn't figure out the cause and effect, but she didn't say anything to make them worry. After Xu Chengqing finished applying the medicine, she found an excuse to come out first.
Not far from the yard, a voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned around and saw that Jiang Qingshu, who had been following her all along, was chasing after her.
Lin Jinhua watched him slowly approaching eagerly, took two steps back and stood still, then smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, is something wrong?"
"Miss Lin, I'm here to thank you." Jiang Qingshu talked to her, and he felt a slight heat in his ears.She looks really good-looking, like a fairy in a picture scroll, and she has a high status and a very nice person, especially when she looks at herself and smiles, her pool-like eyes seem to be shining brightly, her red lips are raised, As bright as flowers in April.
Seeing his straight eyes, Lin Jinhua coughed lightly, and said, "If Mr. Jiang talks about saving your mother before, you really don't need to worry about it. Ordinary people who are capable of helping each other will certainly not stand idly by when they see such a scene."
"Yes..." Jiang Qingshu woke up from the trance, clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, afraid that the trembling would cause her to notice, so he tried his best to hide his excitement and said: "Miss Lin has a kind heart, if she can use Jiang in the future In a certain place, Jiang has a certain definition."
Lin Jinhua knew what he was thinking. Although he was cunning and ruthless in his previous life, he hadn't reached such a dead end in this life, so he must still value friendship, so he just smiled and said, "I don't want anything else, but my cousin is afraid of you in the future." I will also be an official in the same dynasty as Mr. Jiang, my cousin is straightforward, and I am afraid of causing trouble in the future, so I will ask Mr. Jiang to help me more."
"Yes……"
Just as Jiang Qingshu finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a maid walking quickly not far away.
Mo Xue came over, bowed to Lin Jinhua, and said: "Miss, Ah Bao has made good tea again, and I will brew it, waiting for you to taste it."
Lin Jinhua glanced at her, knowing that there was news, she just wrote to Jiang Qing, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Miss, please." Jiang Qingshu hastily handed him off.
Seeing his nervous appearance, Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, turned around and left.
When she was far away, Jiang Qingshu dared to raise his head and looked at her who was dressed plainly today.The bluestone road is sprinkled with fine sunlight falling from the dense leaves, and the warm spring breeze blows down the white rice-sized flowers on the tree, dancing with the wind, accompanied by her leaving back, beautiful like a painting.
"Jinhua..." Jiang Qingshu read these two words carefully, until his back disappeared, then leaned over to pick up the fine white flowers that fell on the ground, carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief, sniffed, and really It is very fragrant.
After Lin Jinhua returned to the room, she saw that Peanut had come over with Qiao makeup, but this teenage boy, Peanut, dressed up in women's clothes, was a bit charming.
Peanut's face was flushed, and when he saw Lin Jinhua coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Miss, I was worried that coming here alone during the day would attract people's suspicion, so I changed my clothes." With it, he had to pay attention.
There was also a little smile on Mo Xue's perennially cold face, and she followed Lin Jinhua to the inner room, only to hear Lin Jinhua smile and say: "It's okay, let's talk about what it is."
"It was you who asked to investigate the relationship between Concubine Xian and Pingxi Palace. There is already news." Peanut talked about the business, and the redness on his face faded a little.
"So fast?" Lin Jinhua was a little surprised.
Peanut scratched his head shyly, and said: "Sister Mo Yue went directly to another group of beggars' dens to fight and gave them benefits. Now it's quick for them to do things. These beggars are not as small as us, they are all entrenched An old beggar in the capital for many years, he also knows a lot about the past."
Lin Jinhua looked at Mo Xue, and Mo Xue said: "Mo Yue has always been able to move but not talk."
"Not bad." Lin Jinhua took a sip of tea in satisfaction, and the honey was accompanied by the scent of scented tea, which made people feel very sweet and relaxed: "Continue talking."
Peanut sniffed the sweet smell in the air and was stunned. He heard her voice and quickly came back to his senses: "Yes. Concubine Xian's original name is Xue Jia, and her natal family is in Wuzhou, thousands of miles away. She was drafted into the palace back then. The relationship with Prince Pingxi's mansion is the biggest relationship with the distant sister of the wife of Prince Pingxi's son."
"This relationship is indeed far away." Lin Jinhua raised her brows slightly.The reason why Yuan Luyi called Zhao Qing Ninth Brother was because of this relationship, and secondly, it was probably because of Xianfei's ability to manage it.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Peanut heaved a sigh of relief, and took out another list: "This is a list bought from Shuiyunjian. There are not many people, only more than 20. Excluding those who died, there are only [-] people left. Less than ten."
Lin Jinhua took the list and looked at it. He Xiang's name was on the list, but Huang Li's was not.
She thought about it, and took a deep breath: "I'm afraid these are the core ones, and these people have been lurking in various mansions for so many years, and they have already cultivated their own people."
Peanut nodded: "Sister Mo Yue also means the same, so I will continue to send people to inquire."
Lin Jinhua glanced at the list, and handed it to Mo Xue: "Go and see whose homes these people are in."
"Yes." Mo Xue replied.
Peanut looked at Lin Jinhua, opened his mouth, and swallowed the words in his throat.
Lin Jinhua saw that he hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Peanut just knelt down and said, "Miss, I just want to ask, when will Lao Liu come back? He has been away for so long, we all miss him."
"Did Lao Liu treat you well before?" Seeing him like this, Lin Jinhua asked and answered.
"If it weren't for the sixth child, we would have been bullied to death by those old beggars next door. When he came here, he looked like a noble son in his clothes, but he was willing to stay with us for so many years. We have long regarded him as family. gone."
"Family..." Lin Jinhua put down the teacup and leaned forward slightly: "Then do you know the real identity of Lao Liu?" The only thing Lao Liu revealed to her was that someone killed his brother back then, but he kept It has never been said who the enemy is or what his identity is.At the beginning of this year, he suddenly said that he would leave for a period of time, as if he came back after that, and the whole person changed.
Peanut shook his head: "He never said it, but I saw a red snake-shaped mark on his back, but we asked him where the mark came from, and he never said it."
Lin Jinhua looked at Mo Xue, who also shook her head, expressing that she had never heard of it.
Seeing this, Lin Jinhua didn't say any more, and just said to Peanut, "Lao Liu will go to Fanbang to investigate the matter, and it will take several months to go back and forth, so you don't have to worry."
Peanut nodded reluctantly.
Lin Jinhua always felt that there was still something wrong with the house before, so she looked at Peanut and said, "Go and tell Mo Yue, wait for me at the back door of Xu Mansion tonight."
"it is good."
Seeing that he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Jinhua called Ah Bao in, and said, "You pack some of these scented teas and let Peanut bring them for everyone to taste."
Peanut looked at Lin Jinhua in surprise, quickly waved his hands and said, "Miss, you don't have to..."
"Try it for A Bao, let's see if it's good." Lin Jinhua said looking at A Bao who was holding back his smile as soon as he entered the room.
A Bao also nodded quickly, this is the end of the matter.
Zhang Xiaofang also thought about the scented tea, and she was a practical person, so she quickly made a batch and sent it to Pingxi Palace.
There are many female relatives in Pingxi Palace, although today's birthday banquet is not happy, but there is still something in the mind to sit down and drink tea together and listen to people's gossip.
What Zhang Xiaofang is talking about here is dry mouth: "Women should drink more scented tea, not only for beauty and beauty, but also for staying youthful. If the women of the people hadn't heard that the ladies and wives of the Pingxi Palace are all beautiful and beautiful, they would not let go of this One tael of silver and one tael of flower tea will be given away for free."
All the girls were coaxed by her, and the tea was really good, not to mention the fragrance of flowers that all girls like.
One of the plump women who looked to be in her 30s took another sip before smiling at him and said, "Your little mouth is sweeter than your tea, but you just said you plan to open a Duobao Pavilion in the capital?"
"I'm still thinking about it." Zhang Xiaofang laughed as she looked at the fair-skinned woman in front of her, but she was obviously full of fine lines due to too much worry.
"What do you think if I don't buy your stock?" She smiled.
Zhang Xiaofang was naturally pleasantly surprised. He planned to find King Pingxi today, but his birthday banquet was messed up and he dared not go. Wouldn't it be nice to have the support of the imperial concubine?
She quickly responded: "Then I would like to thank Shi Zifei."
"You're welcome. I just think you're smart. If you have more time to come to the palace in the future, if my green clothes are still in the palace, I'll definitely be able to play with you." She was a little sentimental .
The wives and ladies next to her were also savvy, and hurriedly comforted her: "The princess is auspicious, she has her own destiny, she was directed by the emperor to go to the southwest, who would dare to make things difficult for the emperor?"
"That's right, the Crown Princess doesn't have to worry."
Everyone comforted her, but Shi Zifei just listened, and had her own worries in her heart.
While talking, a maid came from outside and whispered something in Shi Zifei's ear. After Shi Zifei listened, she frowned, and said: "As usual, send me back, just say I'm sick, so I can't take care of you." .”
"Yes." The servant girl responded, and walked out quickly, and soon arrived at the corner outside the Pingxi Palace, looked at the person who came to pass the message, and smiled apologetically: "Because of the Princess, my concubine has no tea and dinner. I haven't thought about it for a few days, and I can't leave the room right now, so please tell my father-in-law to let Jiacai people wait patiently. After all, the Ninth Prince is still at the border. Even if he looks at the Ninth Prince's face, the Emperor will not do anything. " After finishing speaking, he took out 200 taels of silver note from his sleeve and gave it to him: "This is the little concubine's little wish. Everywhere in the palace needs to be dredged up. Please accept it."
The empress Qiao Zhuang who came over listened, and only sighed slightly: "Then thank the concubine for me, the Sa family will go back to the empress." After finishing speaking, she carefully covered the cloak on her body, looked around, Then he turned his head and went to the palace.
At this time in the palace.
The nobleman has moved back to the Yonghe Palace from Changheng Palace. Zhao Kan was sitting on one side, looking at Jiacai Ren who was kneeling and rubbing her legs, and said, "Mother and Concubine, I have something to tell you. Let’s send it out first.”
Only then did the honorable man slowly sit up from the beauty's couch, glanced at the talented person kneeling respectfully at one side to serve him, and sarcastically said: "You used to be considered to be very beautiful, and you never thought that you would be like this after being demoted. Come and serve me obediently." After finishing speaking, she waved to the maid at one side, who understood and immediately brought a cup of hot tea.
The nobleman asked the court lady to bring the tea to Jiacai, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard today, this tea is for you, drink it."
Jia Cairen took it with a very calm expression, looking at the hot tea, hesitant.
The palace lady said: "Why, Jiacai people don't like the tea given by our empress?"
"Don't dare..."
"If you don't dare, just drink it. Why don't you have servants to serve you?" The maid is extremely arrogant and disdainful. Jiacai people are only of the rank of official ladies, and they are a little bit better than court ladies, and this year Old and decrepit, even if there is still a son, how can he climb up?
Jiacai looked at the honorable person who was staring at him and was waiting to see the show, knowing that he would never leave the door until he finished drinking the tea, so he could only lift the lid of the tea and start to drink slowly. As soon as she raised her hand, the hot tea was thrown over. Before she could let go, all the tea had been poured into her mouth, and the rest was splashed on her face. Her well-maintained face suddenly turned red, and her mouth It also seemed to be hot.
"Oh, look at how clumsy this servant is." The palace maid shouted, and immediately said to the respectable person: "Please punish me."
The nobleman smiled faintly: "Forget it, you didn't mean it either. Since Jiacai has been burned, go down and rest. You don't have to come to serve today."
There were tears in Jiacai's eyes, but he still showed great tolerance for this kind of humiliation, saluted politely, and left expressionlessly.
As soon as she left, the honored person looked at the girl with admiration: "What's your name?"
"Slave forsythia." The maid said immediately.
"Very good, stay by my side to serve you from now on." The honored man was overjoyed when he thought of Jiacai's distressed appearance just now.
The court lady was also overjoyed, and after she finished her salute, she saw that Zhao Kan had something to say, and immediately retreated with the other court ladies.
After everyone had left, the honored person looked at Zhao Kan: "How's the investigation on the Gu worm going?"
"She is very shrewd. After the incident happened, she asked people to clean up all the evidence. A few scapegoats were caught, but she was not involved at all." Zhao Kan felt annoyed when he thought of this.
The respectable person also frowned: "Is it possible that you will suffer from this dull loss? If you send someone to investigate again, you must find her, let the emperor condemn her to death, and see how she will continue to dance in the future."
"Yes, I will definitely do it, but today, I have something to ask..." Zhao Kan looked at her, recalling what he asked, a little excited, and worried that she would refuse.
Seeing his expression, the respected person felt something was wrong: "What's the matter?"
"My son wants to marry Lin Jinhua..."
"Confused!" Before Zhao Kan finished speaking, Jinggui stood up in anger: "Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"
"But mother and concubine, isn't it our plan to marry Lin Jinhua from the beginning?" Zhao Kan was unwilling.
"Stupid thing, I wanted to marry Lin Jinhua back then because of his father Lin Luzhi's [-] troops. Now Lin Luzhi is just a grassroots person, and he is as cowardly as a mouse hiding in the countryside, not to mention a missing person. Lin Jincheng, what's the use of you marrying her?" the respectable man said angrily.
Zhao Kan argued strongly: "Isn't there still Xu's mansion? Judging from the last time the concubine was framed, the emperor attaches great importance to the Xu family, and Xu Boshan is also the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine. Most of the officials appointed by the imperial court in the future will be him. disciple, this is also a harmless thing when we come here."
The honored man looked at him suspiciously: "You really think so?"
"My son..."
"The Xu family has always been loyal and did not participate in party struggles. Do you really think he will help you?" The respected person continued to ask.
Zhao Kan was at a loss for words, so he simply knelt down and gritted his teeth, "I want to marry Lin Jinhua. If I can't marry her, I have no intention of fighting for the throne..."
"Slap!" The honorable slapped down, gnashing his teeth angrily, "What kind of magic did she use to bewitch you!"
"Mother..."
"Okay, don't mention her anymore. As long as I live with you for one day, you won't be allowed to marry her!"
"But……"
"Get out, and if you mention her again, don't come to see me." Jinggui was so angry that his face was ashen, and he almost wanted to slap his son to death.
Seeing her furious, Zhao Kan also knew her temper, so he could only grit his teeth, walk away and wait for future plans.
As soon as she left, the distinguished person sat down with his forehead supported.She has been focusing on Jiacai recently, and has forgotten about Lin Jinhua. Now it seems that she must die!
As night fell, a carriage quickly passed the already empty street, except for a lantern shaking in front of the carriage, there was no light anywhere.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of an alley.
The people in the carriage looked at each other, and then the woman with the veil got out of the carriage, entered the alley, and stopped in front of a small house after going around several turns.
She stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon there was a voice from inside: "Who?"
"it's me."
When the people inside heard the sound, they immediately woke up, and then they lifted the lanterns and opened the courtyard door.
When Lin Jinhua saw the person coming, it was the tall man who was following behind him the last time he saw 'Lao Liu'.
The man's gaze was still the same cold. Looking at her standing at the door, he frowned and said, "Why are you here so late? But what do you need to check?"
"It's because I have something to do, but the carriage broke down. I know you are nearby, so go and see for me first." Lin Jinhua said.
The man knew that she often came out in the middle of the night, so he didn't suspect him, so he followed her forward step by step.
Lin Jinhua walked slowly forward, and the man followed behind. Every step she took, Lin Jinhua could feel the chill from him staring at her.
Soon they arrived at the carriage. In order not to be exposed, Lin Jinzheng only left a sixth child who was not good at kung fu to watch by the carriage. The man looked at the carriage before he went to look at the carriage. He had no idea that the small house had been occupied by someone at this moment. sneaked in.
In the small courtyard, Mo Yue and Mo Xue glanced at each other: "I'll go and lure people away, you go find them." Mo Xue said.
Mo Yue nodded.
Mo Xue looked at the closed doors and deliberately made a noise, and soon men with big knives appeared.
"Who are you!" Someone shouted.
Without saying a word, Mo Xue turned around and headed towards the other direction of the capital.Only then did Mo Yue sneak in carefully.
The yard is not big, so it's easy to find, but what surprised her the most was that there was no trace of training in it, that is to say, the sixth child didn't train anyone at all, so where did these masters come from?
She searched around until she saw a large pile of freshly dug soil piled up in the backyard, and then she found their new basement. After entering the basement, she found that the person locked up in the cell was not the sixth child. .
She split the chain of the prison cell with a sword, and stepped forward to help the sixth child: "Are you all right?"
"Come on..."
Lao Liu managed to open his eyes and saw that it was her, and said in a low voice.
Before Mo Yue could react, all the lights in the dungeon were turned on suddenly, and the 'old six' who had been ordered by Lin Jinhua to go to Fanbang to check Wei Yunyi's identity suddenly appeared at the door of the dungeon.
The signal flare shot up into the sky and made a loud noise. When the man who was repairing the carriage saw it, his expression darkened. He dropped the lantern in his hand, raised his hand and grabbed Lin Jinhua's neck.
Peanut froze in place with fright, Lin Jinhua managed to calm down a bit, and broke the wax pill in his hand, but the man seemed to have been prepared, grabbed her by the neck, lifted her up to the wall, and said ironically, "On your point You're so petty, but you also want to escape?"
Lin Jinhua only felt that his hands were like iron palms, strangling her neck tightly, as if even the bones were about to be crushed, she wanted to break his hands with her hands, but it didn't work at all.
The man snorted coldly, threw her on the ground, pulled out the soft sword from his waist, and snorted coldly: "Since you are looking for death, you can't blame me! After all, he raised the sword and stabbed at her directly.
Lin Jinhua gasped for breath, watching the poisonous long sword stabbing towards her, she managed to turn over and dodge, but she had never experienced Wu Xi's body and his swiftness, and soon the long sword went straight towards him. Her heart stabbed.
Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce her heart, she gritted her teeth and prepared to try the poison powder she had just developed.But if it doesn't work... if it doesn't work, she will have to die. Thinking of Zhao Huaiyan's sad expression last night, he must be even more sad when he hears the news of his death...
"What about my little tricks?"
Just when Lin Jinyu felt that he was about to die, a black figure suddenly appeared behind the man, and there was a faint scent of medicine in the air, and the sword in the man's hand was opened with a 'ding'.
Seeing that the long sword was blocked, Lin Jinhua felt that her body was a little weak and about to fall against the wall, but someone grabbed her waist firmly.
"Huaiyan..." Lin Jinhua was held tightly by him, leaning against his chest and smelling the scent of medicine mixed with the smell of blood on his body, her eyes were slightly astringent.
"Don't be afraid." Zhao Huaiyan said in a low voice, then raised his sword to embrace her and went forward to kill.
Even though he was injured, this man was no match for him. Zhao Huaiyan's sword pierced through his chest with barely a few moves.
"You..." The man finally saw his face clearly, but he was full of shock.
"Women who dare to touch this king, damn it!" Zhao Huaiyan pulled out his long sword indifferently, and the man stared and fell to the ground in disbelief, without breathing.
Just after drawing out the sword, Zhao Huaiyan let out a muffled grunt in pain, and then blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his body went limp.
Lin Jinhua grasped his pulse with her backhand, her face tightened slightly, she quickly took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve, took the pill and put it in his mouth, before saying, "Get in the carriage first."
Peanut also recovered and hurried to help.
After Zhao Huaiyan got into the carriage, he closed his eyes and leaned against the side of the carriage, holding Lin Jinhua's hand and saying, "Don't take such a risk next time."
Lin Jinhua's heart was full of doubts, because the man just now obviously knew Zhao Huaiyan, and seemed to know about Zhao Huaiyan's injury before, but she didn't ask, but nodded: "I'll send the prince back to the mansion first..."
"Go to your room." Zhao Huaiyan held her hand firmly, he knew she must have seen something.
Lin Jinhua's expression darkened: "I can't carry my lord on my back..."
"I can go by myself." Zhao Huaiyan knew that she was a little annoyed, annoyed that he didn't tell her what to do.He barely opened his eyes to look at her, but when he saw her glowing red eyes, his heart stopped, and he said softly: "When this matter is over, I will definitely tell you everything."
When Lin Jinhua heard this, the anger in her heart finally subsided, and she could only hold back her sourness with a choked voice and said: "Then the prince promised me that you must tell me if you have anything to do in the future."
Zhao Huaiyan watched her trying to hold back her tears, couldn't help it anymore, hugged her in his arms, stroked her long hair hanging down her back, and responded with a soft voice.
In the dungeon at this time.
Mo Yue looked at the person in front of her, and held a sword to him coldly: "Who are you?"
"Since you found out, die." After the man with the same face as the sixth child finished speaking, he didn't care about anything else, and was directly killed with a knife, but the people around him rushed forward and felt a voice behind him. At first glance, Gao Zhi and Mo Feng had already led people to stand at the door of the basement, their murderous intent was high, and it was destined to be a fierce battle tonight.
When Lin Jinhua returned to Xu's mansion, all the wounds on Zhao Huaiyan's body were open, so she had to fetch hot water to wash him. When the medicine was administered again, Mo Feng and Mo Xue had already returned.
Both of them were slightly injured, and it was also because they left so suddenly today that the people there were not prepared and they were able to escape easily.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the person lying on the bed, and said softly, "My lord, rest first."
"En." Zhao Huaiyan nodded, watching her turn and leave, looking at her back, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.I don't know when it will start, she will also worry about herself and cry for herself. The road ahead will be much easier with her company all the way.
When Lin Jinhua arrived at the flower hall, she saw that only Mo Feng and Mo Xue were waiting, and asked, "Where is Mo Yue?"
"I found Lao Liu, but Lao Liu has been imprisoned for a long time, and his injuries have not healed, so Mo Yue took him to recuperate first." Mo Feng said.
"It's good that nothing happened. I was negligent this time. I don't know that these people are from the world." Lin Jinhua walked to one side and sat down.
Mo Xue shook her head and looked at her: "Miss, don't blame yourself, these people are not ordinary people. And if the leader is not the twin brother of Lao Liu, he will know how to disguise himself." After finishing speaking, she looked at Mo Feng At a glance, there seems to be something hidden.
Lin Jinhua saw that their expressions were abnormal, and said, "Is it related to the prince?"
Mo Xue gritted her teeth, looked at Mo Feng, Mo Feng sighed inwardly, but still nodded: "Has the prince ever mentioned Princess Xianyue from the neighboring country to the miss?"
"Never." Lin Jinhua slightly tightened her hand on the side, and seeing Mo Feng Mo Xue's expression, she knew that Princess Xianyue had a special relationship with Zhao Huaiyan.
"This princess once worshiped a master. Her master was good at disguise and only accepted her as a closed disciple. However, her master passed away a few years ago. So..."
"So the only person in this world who knows how to disguise herself is this Princess Xuanyue." After Lin Jinhua said that, there was a trace of jealousy in her heart.She suppressed the jealousy, and said lightly: "Maybe someone stole the teacher, maybe Lao Liu really has a twin brother, let's talk about it after Lao Liu wakes up."
Mo Feng and Mo Xue looked at each other, seeing that she was not angry, she was relieved.
In the next few days, the capital was extremely quiet, and even Sun Wanwan did not cause any disturbances, but the Pingxi Palace's intention to make peace with the Xu family still did not stop.
Early in the morning, Lin Jinhua changed her clothes and was about to meet Huijue. When she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Xu Zhaozhao running over angrily, her little face blushing.
When it got closer, Lin Jinhua looked at her sweating profusely, she must have come running over, she just smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's not Pingxi Palace, do you know what they want to do?" Xu Zhaozhao was furious when he mentioned this matter.
"Marriage?"
"Huh?" Xu Zhaozhao saw that she had guessed it, so he looked around and lowered his voice, "Do you know who they want to match me with?"
Lin Jinhua thought for a while, among the sons who appeared at the birthday banquet that day, there were no grandchildren of King Pingxi, and the population of Prince Pingxi's mansion was indeed not prosperous. The marriage candidate is chosen.
"Could it be that young master who is only ten years old?"
"It's him!" Xu Zhaozhao yelled angrily, "I said why he looked at me so coldly that day, hum, he doesn't want to marry, and I don't want to marry yet!"
Lin Jinhua laughed softly, and comforted her as she watched her run away, "Auntie is sensible, and won't marry you off."
Xu Zhaozhao breathed out slightly: "If that's the case, it would be great." After finishing speaking, seeing Lin Jinhua's black-blue hang silk wide-sleeve skirt, which looked very refreshing, he asked with a smile, "Sister Jinhua wants where to?"
"I want to see Ruyan." Lin Jinhua said, speaking, it may be a long time since I heard from Wang Ruyan.
Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly said: "Then I'll go with you, I'm too bored at home all day."
Lin Jinhua tapped her forehead like Mrs. Xu, and said with a smile: "Have you finished copying the big characters that uncle asked you to copy? If you haven't finished copying, continue copying at home. Tomorrow the imperial court will issue an imperial edict to seal your cousin's official position, and you will take it tomorrow." Imperial decree, let's go outside the city to play together."
"Really?"
"Of course, isn't the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon?" Lin Jinhua smiled before turning her head and leaving.The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and Master Huijue can "show off his supernatural powers" again. On the Dragon Boat Festival in the previous life, Zhao Kan's mother and son took the opportunity to play a good game of chess.
Xu Zhaozhao was so excited that he immediately forgot the unhappiness just now, and said, "Then I'll go and prepare the things I need to play tomorrow."
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Lin Jinhua didn't say anything, and let her go, and only stepped out of the mansion after she left.
Huijue only moved out in the past two days, and finally arrived at his mansion. His tense heart at the time in the palace was also relaxed, but he also had other ideas. If Lin Jinhua could create a "miracle" by himself, Then why should I still listen to her?It's better to find a way to create it yourself, so that you can get rid of her first, and then become the national teacher in a glorious manner.
Just when he thought he had a good idea, someone came to report.
"Master Guoshi, someone sent it just now, saying that you are invited to gather at Cuiming Residence outside the residence." The young man said.
Huijue glanced at a copper plate in the boy's hand, and his heart skipped a beat. Isn't this Lin Jinhua's secret signal?
"Where is Cuiming Residence?"
"It's less than 200 meters to the left outside the mansion." The boy said.
Huijue didn't pay attention to this when he came, and hesitant when he heard this.
Seeing this, the servant asked, "The servant went to reject them?"
"and many more……"
Huijue called the boy to stop, thinking about it, but he didn't think he had the ability to deal with Lin Jinhua now, and he didn't know who was behind her.
After thinking about it, he still changed his clothes and put on a shoulder-length gauze hat, and walked towards Cuimingju.
When he soon reached the door of the private room on the second floor of Cuiming Residence, he hesitated instead.
Lin Jinhua looked at the shadow at the door, and stopped the hand that was slowly turning the teacup, and said softly: "Since the master is here, why don't you come in and talk about the hesitation?"
After hearing this, Huijue opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, seeing that Lin Jinhua was alone, he felt a little more relaxed, but just after he walked in, the door was closed from the outside with a snap. Huijue was very nervous when he heard the snap, and was frightened. Almost jumped up.
Looking at him like this, Lin Jinhua already guessed what he was planning.
"Master seems to be doing well in the palace."
"good……"
"Being deeply trusted by the queen mother, it's not only okay, but accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If you make a careless move, you will lose the whole game. I heard that the governor of Wei has already entered the capital recently. When you see the master, you should take a look at it." You can recognize it." Lin Jinhua poured a cup of tea for him, and raised his hand to signal: "Master looks very nervous, why don't you sit down and have a sip of tea first."
Seeing that she was so calm, Huijue thought she hadn't guessed her purpose, and said: "Miss Lin, you will help me with this matter. After all, what you said before is that Miss Wang is the daughter of Guanyin. , I mentioned it to the Queen Mother again before leaving the palace, and I am afraid that the oral order will come down today."
Lin Jinhua raised the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and looked at him indifferently: "Master thinks we're making a deal?"
Huijue looked at the beautiful woman who was so evil, and felt a little uncertain: "Miss Lin, I..."
"You and I are grasshoppers on the same boat. You should be very clear about this. When the Xu family had an accident, you stood by and watched. I don't care about you and let you take the position of the national teacher, but if you want to be independent, I advise you If you have the ability, then make this plan, because even if I can let you go, the people behind me are not necessarily, once betrayed, the lightest thing is to smash the bones, peeling the skin and tearing the bones, smashing the bones and ashes, do you think the master can bear it?"
Huijue trembled all over, and hurriedly got up to explain: "I don't mean to be independent..."
"That's good." Lin Jinhua looked calm and didn't talk to him too much, but his thoughts popped up, and he wouldn't stop for a while, just said: "With one Huijue missing, I can still support the first one." Two, or even a third, but you have to figure out how many lives you have.”
"Yes..." Huijue felt his forehead start to sweat.She is clearly only in her teens, but she has such a strong aura that she is suppressed to death. Such a woman is not an ordinary woman, she is clearly a witch.
Thinking of the word "witch girl", he lowered his head even more.
Lin Jinhua glanced at him lightly before saying, "I came to see you for tomorrow's business."
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival..."
"That's right, it's also the queen's birthday. The queen has advocated frugality all these years and never held extravagant banquets, but she goes out of the palace every year to go to Puji Temple to pray for a day."
"Could something happen to the empress tomorrow?"
"Yes, and it's still a big deal." Lin Jinhua recalled that the bloodbath in the previous life was also the sin of the nobleman and Zhao Kan, but the queen deserved it, but now the queen is still Huaiyan's adoptive mother, and it is convenient to have her in Huaiyan. A lot, so she still won't let the queen fall down from such a high position, but she has to avenge the Xu family and herself everywhere.
After Lin Jinhua explained to him, Huijue's expression became serious: "Is this... really going to happen?"
"Master doesn't believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's cruel." Huijue frowned.
"It's cruel, that's why the master has to report to the queen mother in advance, so that as many people as possible can be rescued." Lin Jinhua turned to look out the window, and the sun had risen high at this moment, and it was sunny.
Huijue saw that she was no longer going to say more, and when she thought that her thoughts were all being told by her, she had to back away anxiously, and couldn't think of anything else.
After Huijue left, Mo Feng came in from the outside and said, "Miss, the carriage is ready, do you want to go to Wang's house?"
"En." Lin Jinhua replied, turned around and was about to go, but before she left, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
The man was thrown out of the tavern, and the people in the tavern were still cursing: "Why drink if you don't have money?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Who doesn't know? Wang Yushi's family is a useless piece of trash. I couldn't pass Chunwei's exam, so I used trivial means to harm people... But it's true, after all, you are the one who doesn't even let your own sister go!" The barman finished speaking , spat and turned away.
Not long after, another person walked out of the tavern, leaned over and helped him up, despite Wang Huiyuan's beating and scolding, he still put him in a good-tempered carriage.
"Who is that?" Lin Jinhua asked.
Mo Feng glanced at him and said, "Master Tao Mou, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Huiyuan planned to harm him before, but the slaves heard that this Mr. Tao seems to intend to marry Miss Wang."
"A concubine..." Lin Jinhua looked indifferently. This Tao was somewhat famous in his previous life, but like Jiang Qingshu, he was not well-known. He married Ru Yan, perhaps because he felt that Ru Yan's innocence had been ruined, and he just happened to be able to marry her. Is he a bastard?
