Chapter 83 Game
Wang's door.

When Lin Jinhua arrived, Tao Mou just helped Wang Huiyuan get off the carriage.

Wang Huiyuan opened his hand angrily, swayed and walked a few steps before reluctantly supporting the stone lion at the door and sarcastically said: "I am no better person than you. Do you want to marry Ruyan? Go dreaming!"

"Brother Wang, I think there is really some misunderstanding between you and me..."

"Misunderstanding? Tao Mou, don't think that I don't know. I designed you that day. In fact, you knew it a long time ago, so you designed mine instead. Let me make a fool of myself in front of the emperor, so that I will never be able to participate in it again for the rest of my life." Chun Wei, if you enter the court again and become an official, you will only be a commoner for the rest of your life..." He cursed, which already attracted people from the house.

When Wang Yushi came out, hearing his words, he felt that there was no place to put his old face.

He stood at the door with a livid face and said to Wang Huiyuan: "Don't talk nonsense, obviously you did something wrong yourself, how can you blame Young Master Tao?"

"Father, it's clear that he hurt me..."

"Shut up! I've been clean all my life, and I've never done anything evil. Why did I suffer retribution and give birth to a son like you!" Wang Yushi was so angry that his face turned blue, but his heart ached from the rage, and his whole face turned pale instantly. , and fell back weakly.

The servants hurriedly helped him up, and Wang Huiyuan was also stunned, and hurried over and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, call the doctor quickly."

"Get out of the way..." Lin Jinhua jumped off the carriage and ran over quickly.

The servants all recognized her, and quickly backed away. Lin Jinzheng stepped forward to get Wang Yushi's pulse, but Wang Huiyuan pushed her back a step before her hand touched Wang Yushi. Fortunately, Mo Xue helped her up in time. Only when you live can you barely stand firm.

Lin Jinhua looked at him in surprise, but only saw him staring at her with disgust: "My Wang family doesn't need your fake kindness, so get out!"

Lin Jinhua's face turned cold instantly, and she said in a deep voice, "Wang Yushi is in danger, but you only care about personal grievances, Mr. Wang, you are so selfish!" Wang Huiyuan raised it.

Lin Jinhua looked at the boy who dared not make a sound, stepped forward and quickly took Wang Yushi's pulse, couldn't help frowning, and immediately took the silver needle to pierce the acupuncture point, until his face was bruised, and then quickly pulled away, Wang Yushi finally eased. After this breath, I opened my eyes and took a big mouthful of breath, which was regarded as having passed this level.

"Hurry up and send him back to his room to rest..." Lin Jinzheng said halfway through, "Since Mr. Wang doesn't believe me, you can just ask another doctor to prescribe the medicine right now, but remember not to add aconite."

Wang Huiyuan coldly pushed Mo Xue's hand away, and then walked up to Wang Yushi: "Father, I'll help you in..."

Wang Yushi glanced at him, brushed away the hand he extended with his old eyes red, and barely stood up with the servant's hand, looked at Lin Jinhua and apologized: "Thank you, Miss Lin this time."

"My lord, you don't have to be polite, even for Ru Yan's sake, I can't just leave it to chance." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, and after that, she took a serious look at Wang Huiyuan's complexion, her eyes turned black, obviously suffering from a chronic illness poison.Who poisoned him?Ru Yan?

Lin Jinhua's heart sank, she only hoped it wasn't Ruyan.

Wang Yushi turned around and walked in, Mrs. Wang and Wang Ruyan just arrived at this moment.

Mrs. Wang seemed to be a little more haggard. Looking at Wang Huiyuan, who smelled of alcohol, her eyes were full of helplessness. She turned around and said to the people at the door: "Since you're here, let's go in and have a seat."

Lin Jinhua looked at Wang Ruyan, saw that her eyes were red, and smiled at her: "I also want to talk to Ruyan."

Wang Ruyan opened her mouth to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered the letters and paintings that Lin Jincheng had sent before, she swallowed them again, looked at her tenderly and nodded.

Tao Mou also came in along the way, but his eyes kept wandering from Lin Jinhua and Wang Ruyan. For Lin Jinhua, he was impressed by her courage and her beauty. She is really beautiful. If she wants, she can really relax To win the heart of any man, it's just that he prefers Wang Ruyan, who is more gentle and considerate. In the tavern that day, although she fainted herself, she still didn't forget to cover herself with a cloak when she left.It might be an unintentional act to her, but to him, it is the only sincerity without any purpose that he has encountered in the past 20 years of growing up, except for his own mother.

In the front hall, Tao Mou waited for the two of Lin Jinhua to leave, and immediately raised the matter of marriage proposal with Mrs. Wang.

"Although Tao Mou is a concubine, but this time the Chunwei examination has been in the top three, and he will definitely find a better future for himself in the future and live up to Miss Wang." Tao Mou stood in the hall and bowed his hands, his attitude was very sincere.

It's not the first time Mrs. Wang has heard him say this, but Ru Yan's reputation has been ruined, is there really any man who can accept it?Could it be another purpose?
"Ru Yan is still young, we don't plan to choose a marriage for her." Mrs. Wang politely refused, but if Ru Yan was still innocent, she would also consider it. Although Tao Mou was a concubine, he was very popular with his father. The title of the gold list must have a bright future in the future.But precisely because of this, now that Ru Yan is married, can she live a good life?
Tao Mou seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he didn't force her to agree immediately, he just said: "I know a thing or two about Madam's concerns, but Madam don't worry, since I came to propose marriage by myself, it's not because of the background of the Wang family, just because of my family background. Miss Wang is just this person. To tell you the truth, since she was nominated in the palace examination, many people have hinted that they want to marry, and some of them are not inferior to the Wang family, but Tao Mou still has his heart for Miss Wang. In the future, I will definitely not disappoint Miss Wang!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, it would be a lie to say that she was not shocked.Is he really different from men in the world?

"Have you ever thought it through..."

"Yes, I am not young, and I am no longer a person who acts impulsively." Tao Mou became more sincere.

Mrs. Wang looked at him for a long while, but finally just sighed: "I won't make decisions for Ru Yan on my own, but I will ask her."

Only then did Tao Mou laugh, and took out a piece of mandarin duck of ordinary quality but excellent carving from his sleeve and said, "It's not expensive, but my aunt left it for me to give to my future wife. Please ask Mrs. Wang to wear it for you." Forward."

Mrs. Wang knew what he wanted, thought about it, and took it.It is impossible for Ru Yan not to marry for the rest of her life, even if the Wang family can support her for the rest of her life, after she and the master pass away, how will she survive in this world alone?

Wang Ruyan also knows Mrs. Wang's worries.

At this moment, she and Lin Jinhua were walking slowly along the path by the lake, the wind blew the leaves and made a rustling sound, and occasionally a brown bird flew by, startling a tree's petals.

"Jinhua..." Wang Ruyan finally spoke, her eyes still looking at the road ahead without aura, as if she couldn't feel the beauty of this world at all: "What do you think of Mr. Tao you saw today?"

Lin Jinhua's palms were slightly tightened, and seeing her worried, she said, "Ru Yan, brother is still waiting..."

"I think he is very nice, humble and polite, and seems to like me very much." Wang Ruyan interrupted her slowly, stopped with a smile, and turned to look at her: "What do you think of me marrying him?"

Lin Jinhua stopped to look at her, her eyes matured a lot, her face became thinner, and her figure became slimmer, as if she had become a big girl overnight.

"Ru Yan, brother is not the kind of person who sticks to small details..."

"But I care, Jinhua. Even if Mr. Lin doesn't care, I will remember it all my life, and I will never forget it. Being with him will only make me blame myself day and night, and finally drag him into my heart." In the mud of my life, his liking for me slowly faded away, and in the end we both hated each other." Wang Ruyan's eyes were filled with tears, but she just smiled and shook her head at her: "I don't want to do this, I hope he has a good life. "

"Ru Yan..." Lin Jinhua didn't know what to say for a moment. She had never experienced such despair, and she couldn't persuade her to let go. After all, the person who hurt her was her elder brother.

Wang Ruyan took a deep breath to keep the tears from falling.

Not long after, a maid trotted over and said after paying respects: "Miss, Aunt Shan wants to see you."

"Are you pregnant?"

"I asked the doctor to look at it just now, and I have been pregnant for more than a month." The maid said.

Only then did Wang Ruyan smile: "Boy or girl?"

The maid laughed: "The doctor said it was twins, two boys."

"Okay, tell Madam the news. As for the eldest brother, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. We will arrange it. The Wang family has a small house outside, so Aunt Shan can go out to raise the baby." Wang Ruyan calmly arranged, but Lin Jinhua remembered Wang Huiyuan's eyes. of black.Did she really intend to kill him...

After the maid left, Wang Ruyan turned around and looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile and said, "Brother's aunt is pregnant. She has always been weak, so I won't accompany you."

Lin Jinhua knew that she was giving an order to evict her, so she didn't force her to stay. She just took her evasive hand when she was leaving, and said with a smile: "In my heart, Ru Yan is still the same Ru Yan from before, always pure, kind, smart and cute, with Misses from other families are different. I think my brother thinks so too."

Wang Ruyan's eyes became even redder, and she hastily turned her back to prevent her from seeing it, barely suppressing the soreness in her heart, and then softly said thank you.

Seeing her slightly trembling body, Lin Jinhua could only sigh secretly, and turned to leave.

As soon as she left, Wang Ruyan couldn't help crying in pain while covering her face.

In the distance, Tao Mou looked at her trembling and thin body, thinking about their conversation just now, with deep eyes, and slowly left.

When Lin Jinhua left the palace, she still had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't even listen to what Mo Feng said to her.

When he returned to Xu's mansion, Xu Zhaozhao was happily running down the corridor with a kite, followed by the young master of Pingxi Wang's family.

The young master was dressed in a silver-gray brocade suit, and followed Xu Zhaozhao expressionlessly, as if looking at a fool.

"You can't catch up with me! You are so young, why are you pretending to be an adult... a little bit..." Xu Zhaozhao made a face at him proudly, seeing his frown, he became more proud, and waved the kite in his hand: "Follow me!" Your father said, let’s go back and come back in a few years.”

She happily ran a few more steps, and finally stopped when she saw Lin Jinhua approaching her, panting and laughing, "Sister Jinhua, you're back."

Seeing the joy on her face, Lin Jinhua also relaxed, and said with a smile, "Are you bullying again?"

"I didn't bully anyone, it was some people who insisted on chasing me, but they were delicate and frail, and I was just a poor kid, so they couldn't catch up with me." Xu Zhaozhao thought that King Pingxi wanted to let this person compare to himself. The grandson who was three or four years younger married him, and he was full of displeasure. He thought that Princess Pingxi gave him such a good bracelet, so why would he introduce someone like His Royal Highness Ning? He is a half-grown kid who pretends to be cool.

Yuan Shao glanced at Xu Zhaozhao, who was furious, and walked in front of Lin Jinhua calmly, bowed politely, and said: "My sister used to mention Miss Lin to me, and she was taken care of by Miss Meng Lin in many places. Yuan Shao is here to replace my father and mother. Thank you."

Xu Zhaozhao quickly pulled Lin Jinhua and said in a low voice, "Look, you talk like a little old man."

Lin Jinhua bent her fingers and tapped Xu Zhaozhao's head: "It's impolite, did your aunt teach you this?"

"I……"

Lin Jinhua didn't look at her, but Yuan Shao, who was half a head shorter than her, said with a smile: "Lv Yi and I are best friends in the boudoir, so we should help her."

Yuan Shao's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Before, my grandmother dedicated all the scented tea that Miss Lin gave to my sister to the empress, but now my mother doesn't even want to taste it. I wonder if Miss Lin might give me some more? Save my father Mother regrets and complains all day long."

Lin Jinhua paused when she heard this.The concubine and his wife are the ones who just complain about ordering scented tea, his focus should be on the word 'regret'.

Lin Jinhua thought about it, and tentatively said: "I'll have someone prepare it, and I'll take it away for you later. I don't know where Princess Pingxi is, but do you want to prepare another one?"

"Miss is willing, so I can prepare an extra one, but grandma doesn't like scented tea, so she will probably give it to the empress. After all, the empress and her brother are still in the grandfather's barracks, so it can be regarded as a kind of friendship." Yuan Shao said calmly. But Lin Jinhua's gaze changed.

She didn't expect the Queen to have a brother hiding in the barracks. From this point of view, the relationship between the Pingxi Palace and the Queen may be divided into two factions. The Pingxi King and his wife are on good terms with the Queen, but they have little contact with Zhao Huaiyan. The relationship between them has always been very secret. If the queen hadn't disclosed it before, she might not have known about it until now, and the other faction is the eldest son of King Pingxi, who is now the son of King Pingxi.

Lin Jinhua looked at Yuan Shao, and wondered if this child was also reborn, but he spoke and behaved very calmly, and he didn't look like him. Could it be that he was just precocious?
"I'll let someone prepare it, thank you, Young Master Yuan." Lin Jinhua smiled.

Xu Zhaozhao was so dizzy that he pulled Lin Jinhua's sleeve and said, "Sister Jinhua, what are you talking about?"

Before Lin Jinhua could make a sound, Yuan Shao glanced at her and said a word calmly: "Stupid." After saying that, he turned and left calmly.

Xu Zhaozhao was so angry that he jumped, but tried his best to suppress his anger, and kept stroking his chest: "I'm an adult, I don't get angry with children, I don't get angry with children..."

On one side, Mo Feng looked at the two people, one big and one young, and laughed out loud: "Young Master Yuan is really an interesting person."

"Mo Feng, you still help him, I'm wronged." Xu Zhaozhao pretended to be pitiful, and Mo Feng hurriedly comforted her, and they laughed together.

Yuan Shao walked to the corner, stopped and looked back, and found that Lin Jinzheng's gaze was also chasing him, looked at each other, and walked away.

Back in the courtyard, it was already dark.

Xu Boshan specially asked someone to prepare dinner to see her.

Lin Jinhua looked at the dishes on the table, looked at Xu Boshan at the top, and smiled slightly: "Uncle, are you going to talk about something important with me?"

"What a big deal. It's just that so many things have happened recently, thank you for your hard work. Your father and brother are not around, and your aunt is also busy with obvious things. Uncle is worried that you will feel bored by yourself." Xu Boshan looked at her lovingly and smiled.

Hearing this, Lin Jinhua felt a warm current in her heart, but thinking about Zhao Huaiyan who was still lying on her bed with an empty stomach at this time, she felt satisfied, her family and lover were all there, and this was the best.

After dinner, Xu Boshan talked to her for a long time, from talking about her childhood to talking about her mother, he choked up talking about himself several times. I personally sent him back, and when I went back to the room, I found that Zhao Huaiyan had fallen asleep.Perhaps he lost a lot of blood, and his wounds healed very slowly. After Lin Jinhua lightly changed his medicine, he also took a rest.

One night passed, and early the next morning, Huijue invited the decree into the palace to meet the queen mother.

The queen mother was teasing the fourth prince's son, looking at the great-grandson's cuteness, she rewarded a lot of things in a row, looked at Huijue, and said with a smile: "I'll let the national teacher do a prayer ceremony for the child later. Yes Now that you have a child, you should be crowned king, and I will mention it to your father when I return home."

The fourth prince and his wife immediately got up and thanked them. The queen mother saw Huijue's anxious face, knowing that there was something urgent, she didn't say much, and sent them away with a smile.

When the fourth prince left, he specially spoke to Huijue: "Then I will trouble the national teacher."

Huijue remembered what Lin Jinhua said yesterday, so she didn't dare to delay, and immediately lowered her eyes to respond, but she didn't notice the fourth prince's smiling eyes.

After the fourth prince left, Huijue stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the poor monk watched the sky last night and found that the stars have changed. There may be a bloody disaster in the southeast!"

When the queen mother heard it, she only frowned at him: "Is there a bloody disaster in the southeast?"

"Yes, and the astrology is pointing directly at the palace, I'm afraid it will be involved with the people in the palace." Huijue said anxiously: "The poor monk has the courage to ask, has any of the nobles in the palace left the palace today?"

"The queen will go out of the palace. This is an annual rule. On her birthday, she will go to Puji Temple to pray for a day." The queen mother thought for a while and looked at Huijue: "Since you have counted, the Ai family will send the news to you." Even if it was sent to the queen, there is no reason to call her back because of a star."

After hearing this, Huijue knew what Lin Jinhua meant when she said that she couldn't be stopped.

It is impossible for him to use his hard-won official name as a guarantee, so he can only wait for something to happen, but the queen mother has noticed that it will be more or less salvageable by then.

When the emperor heard the news, he had just issued the imperial decree to enshrine the talented scholars. Hearing the words, he only said lightly: "Since the national teacher is so determined, you should go and inform the city guards to be more vigilant and watch carefully."

"Yes." Eunuch An agreed, and went to give orders.

At this moment when the imperial decree was sent to Xu's residence, it was already bright daylight, and the sun had completely risen from the east.

The Xu family knelt down in the front hall to receive the decree, and when the father-in-law finished reading the decree, Xu Chengqing looked at the bright yellow imperial decree with a little emotion, and sighed in his heart. Finally, he would also be soaked in the big dye vat of officialdom.

"My humble minister, thank you Lord Long En." He kowtowed and saluted, and the father-in-law hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile, "Now Mr. Xu is also a fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing. This is the treatment that ordinary scientific research scholars have never had. In the future, my lord should do my best for the emperor."

"Naturally, the lower officials are exhausted." Xu Chengqing said seriously.

The father-in-law smiled, and then said some auspicious words before leaving.

When leaving, Mrs. Xu also generously asked someone to pack a bulging purse, and when they left, she looked at her son with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "Given by the emperor, you have to work harder when you go back. "

"My child understands." Xu Chengqing smiled softly.

Not long after, Jiang Qingshu also ran over. It turned out that he was the supervisor of the sixth rank.

Xu Chengqing was also happy when he heard the words: "Brother Jiang has received the favor of the emperor in the capital, and now he has become a supervisory censor, and he goes to various places to supervise officials. , it seems that the emperor also has high hopes for you."

Jiang Qingshu smiled and said: "Huang Enhao is my blessing. I will leave Beijing in a few days, so we can get together when we have time."

"Just today, Zhao Zhao and Jin Hua are arguing to go out to play. It just so happens that there is a dragon boat race under Puji Temple today during the Dragon Boat Festival, so let's go to see the excitement." Xu Chengqing said directly.

When Jiang Qingshu heard the words, his ears turned red, and he nodded immediately.

After receiving the imperial edict, Lin Jinhua went back to the room alone. Seeing that Zhao Huaiyan had woken up, she was relieved to let Mo Feng stay and take care of her, and only took Mo Xue with her.

The carriage swayed, and with Xu Zhaozhao's happy chatter, they arrived at the place very quickly, but the incense here was very lively today, because it was the queen's birthday, and there was also a lively dragon boat race to watch.

Almost all the inns near the lake are fully booked. If Lin Jinhua hadn't asked someone to book a place, I wouldn't be able to come here today.But just after arriving at the inn, there was a noise in the lobby.

"Do you know who we are? You don't know the person who is scheduled, and the person hasn't come yet, why don't you let me?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper could only keep apologizing; "I'm really sorry, my lord, according to the rules of the store, if you make a reservation with full payment, no matter whether the guest comes or not, the seat cannot be given up. .”

"Then I'll pay twice the price. When that person comes, you can just return the money to her. I don't believe that the unscrupulous people here dare to make trouble with Sun Shilang's house." Sun Qiu snorted coldly, and Sun Wanwan followed Slowly clutching a strand of long hair hanging in front of her body, she watched the men in the lobby stare straight at her, and stroked her newly-made green dress with a light gauze cover in satisfaction, but it was not enough. After making a sound, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to the door.

"Which family is that lady, she's so pretty!" Someone exhaled softly.

"No, it looks like a fairy girl..."

Everyone looked at the person who came in from the door. He was wearing a long crimson smoky dress, a piece of top-grade mutton jade was hung around his waist, a simple flying fairy bun was tied up with black silk, a gold hairpin with tassels was on each side, his eyebrows There was a bright red plum blossom in the middle, which made her brows look colder, and her eyes swept over lightly, making people feel numb for a while.

Lin Jinhua glanced at everyone's gaze, walked in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "I booked the room."

Seeing her talking, the shopkeeper quickly recovered and went to get the key.

Sun Qiu will never forget Lin Jinhua, but after seeing her for half a month, she seems to look better... No, it should be said that she dressed up today. When I first saw her, she deliberately wore plain clothes. This bright red color is really amazing. line her up.

"Brother, look what she is doing!"

Seeing that her elder brother also stared straight at her, Sun Wanwan stomped her feet angrily.

Sun Qiu immediately came back to his senses, only sneered, looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Long time no see, Miss Lin."

"Mr. Sun's hand seems to be injured." Lin Jinhua glanced at his right hand lightly, which was wrapped in a thick bandage and tied to a wooden plank.

When Sun Qiu thought of this, he became angry. His arm was somehow broken by a tile falling from the roof, and it has not recovered yet.

Seeing that his complexion became gloomy, Lin Jinhua ignored him and turned to leave. Sun Qiu subconsciously grabbed her with his left hand again: "I haven't finished talking to you yet..."

"If you don't finish talking, don't finish talking. Isn't it the behavior of a villain to do something like this!" Xu Chengqing looked at it, stepped forward and opened his arm, and Sun Qiu's face turned pale in pain, then stared at Xu Chengqing and said: "Could it be If I touch her, will you break my hand?"

"Of course not, but I have the right to arrest you and go back for interrogation." After Xu Chengqing finished speaking, he stood by Lin Jinhua's side and said, "Go upstairs first."

Jiang Qingshu also hurried over, blocking Sun Qiu's gaze.

Seeing this, Sun Qiu snorted softly: "What are you saying, you are a lady, and now there are so many men around you, what is it if it is not promiscuous?"

"Say one more thing!" Xu Chengqing raised his fist angrily, but Lin Jinhua said, "Sun Gongzi seems to have a big prejudice against me?"

"It's just that some people are flamboyant and want to set up a memorial archway." Sun Qiu saw that Xu Chengqing didn't dare to shake his fist at all, so he only became more ironic.

Lin Jinhua looked at him, and smiled faintly: "It's very good that Mr. Sun has such an awareness. I only hope that when it comes to my own people, I don't want to be soft." This kind of people can only talk about it, and they are the most bullying and fearful.

"You—" Sun Wanwan took a step forward angrily, Xu Zhaozhao immediately stepped forward, then took three steps back, clutched his arms and shouted: "Well, you Sun Wanwan, seeing this princess is not only rude, but also dares to hurt you!" This princess, come here, throw him out for me!"

It was only then that Sun Wanwan remembered that Xu Zhaozhao was made the princess of Yongle by the emperor himself, and couldn't help gritting her teeth: "I didn't touch you..."

"There are so many pairs of eyes here, I've seen them all." Xu Chengqing also took the opportunity to say, and immediately a servant from the Xu Mansion came up and dragged Sun Wanwan out. Sun Qiu gritted his teeth angrily, but he also knew that he was outnumbered. Desperate followed out.

When they left, Xu Zhaozhao looked at Lin Jinhua with a proud smile: "Sister Jinhua, let's go upstairs."

"Okay." Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua was a little worried that she would offend the Sun brothers and sisters, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, and let her do the things secretly.

In this room, just after Sun Wanwan was thrown out of the inn, she saw Zhao Kan approaching her.

Zhao Kan is riding on a horse, mighty and handsome.

Sun Wanwan's heart skipped a beat when she saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward and said pitifully: "My lord, Wanwan..."

Zhao Kan glanced at her coldly, then at Sun Qiu, and said, "Get out of the way."

"My lord..."

"Deaf, can't you hear my king's words?" A mere servant of the military department was somewhat useful before, but now he doesn't have the slightest thought.He wants to marry Lin Jinhua, only Lin Jinhua!
Hearing the lively sound of gongs and drums coming from the front, knowing that the matter had already begun, the corners of his mouth curled up indifferently, and he drove away.

The empress and her party had already gone up the mountain. As usual, offering incense and paying homage to the Buddha, except for the personal servant and the master who chanted sutras, everyone else was waiting outside the Daxiong Hall.

The queen knelt in the middle, and opened her eyes half an hour later, Yun Jiang immediately helped her up, saying: "Your Majesty, you are ready."

"Mn." The Queen responded, closed her eyes and said a word about Amitabha, then got up, and went to the back of the Daxiong Hall as usual.There is a small door at the back, leading to a small quiet courtyard, which is specially used as a place for nobles to rest when they are tired from chanting sutras.

After arriving at the place, Yun Jiang Zhiqu stepped back and stood by the door, and silently lowered his eyes when he heard a man's voice coming from inside.

"How are you doing recently?" the Queen asked, looking at the person in front of her.

"Very well, please worry about it." The man finished speaking indifferently, and then said: "Why haven't you made any progress on what I asked you to prepare, how long do I have to wait?"

"It's coming soon, this matter can't be rushed, the empress dowager, as well as distinguished and talented people, none of them is simple, I can't show my feet, just bear with me, soon that position will be ours .” The queen looked at him with a bit of pleading in her tone.

The man gritted his teeth slightly: "What about Zhao Huaiyan? How to deal with it?"

"Of course there's no need to keep him when things are done..."

"That's good..." After the man finished speaking, his ears moved suddenly, and the black cloak wrapped around his body quickly disappeared into the small courtyard.Seeing this, the queen hurriedly stood up and called out, "Yun Jiang, what's wrong?"

Yun Jiang pricked up her ears to listen, and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be noise outside..."

Before she could finish speaking, a nanny rushed over and said anxiously: "Mother, someone is calling for grievances outside, saying that you killed her son."

"Nonsense, the empress lives deep in the inner palace, how could she harm her son?" Yun Jiang scolded.

Momo was also in a dilemma, and said: "The woman said that she was Yun Yao, the palace maid who served the emperor at that time."

Yun Jiang's complexion turned pale when he heard this name, and hurried to the small courtyard to look at the queen: "Mother, wasn't this Yun Yao already dead?"

"I have to ask you!" The queen looked at her coldly, all elegance was gone.

Yun Jiang knelt down on the ground immediately, and said: "When she gave birth to the prince, the slaves strangled her to death with their own hands, there is no way she is still alive."

The queen's face was heavy, and she looked out: "If she is not dead, then the person who came here is a fake." After finishing speaking, another nanny ran in with a horrified expression: "Your Majesty, there are mobs coming up from the mountain, saying they want to see it with their own eyes." Meet the empress. Somehow, the leading guards today issued an order to kill Wu Amnesty, and many people have died outside now!"

"What?" The queen's face was pale, she stood up abruptly but felt dizzy, almost lost her footing and fell, she managed to hold Yun Jiang's hand steady and said: "Hurry up and pass on the order from my palace, stop beating immediately Kill, you can't kill common people!" Especially in this Puji Temple, on her birthday.

Mammy went in a hurry, but she was already prepared for today, how could she allow it to stop.

at the foot of the mountain.

Standing on the second floor, Lin Jinhua watched the dragon boat race downstairs, but she also knew that blood was flowing on the mountain at this moment, so she just stared at the downstairs with a cold expression, speechless for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Mo Xue brought her tea, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Mo Yue took people up the mountain last night, and now I can only resign myself to fate, don't worry too much."

"En." Lin Jinhua agreed, took the tea, and suddenly heard a commotion from below, it turned out that someone had won the dragon boat race.

She glanced casually, and didn't care too much, but she could hear the people below: "The sister of this strong man's family works as a court lady by the empress's side, and now she has won No.1, but she asks the empress to promote you?"

"Whether the Empress is promoted or not is none of your business!" After the man finished speaking, his complexion turned dark and he punched the speaker in the face.

Others rushed to persuade him, but the man started to fight more violently like crazy, and he didn't stop until he saw the blood, until the strange flute sound came, and the man screamed and fell to the ground, twitching crazily opened his clothes.

Xu Zhaozhao was so frightened that he quickly covered his eyes, but Lin Jinhua could see clearly that his behavior was exactly the same as that of Zheng Ruyi before his death. Could it be that Zhao Kan planned to blame the queen for raising Gu?
Just as he was thinking, the sound of the flute suddenly became rapid, and a hazy black shadow first appeared on the man's belly, and then the black shadow broke through the man's stomach and ran out following the sound of the flute.

Seeing this, Xu Chengqing didn't say a word, pulled out the sword at his waist, and jumped down from the second floor to kill the Gu mother, but the man just widened his eyes and trembled a few times because the Gu mother broke his stomach, and then he didn't took a breath.

Everyone jumped, and heard someone shouting in the crowd: "Could it be that the matter of raising Gu in the capital was actually done by the Empress?"

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so don't talk nonsense." Xu Chengqing ordered coldly, seeing Sun Wanwan and Sun Qiu brothers and sisters who were terrified on one side, said: "Report to the authorities immediately!"

Sun Wanwan nodded in fright, but was pulled back by Sun Qiu: "You are stupid, let him do it himself." He will not do such offending things.

Jiang Qingshu watched from above, and said: "Brother Xu, wait, I'll report to the officials." After finishing speaking, he hurried downstairs.

Lin Jinhua glanced at Xu Zhaozhao, and said, "Don't go out in this room, I'll go out for a while." After finishing speaking, the person was already outside the door.She did not expect that Zhao Kan would give up dealing with Concubine Xian and instead deal with the Empress. If so, the Empress might really fall into trouble this time.

The queen was surrounded by mobs at this time. There were monks in the temple, but they couldn't kill people, so they could only reluctantly fight. As for the remaining guards, they didn't listen to the queen's orders at all and fought with the mob.

In the forest not far from Puji Temple, Zhao Kan changed into black clothes and a mask, looked coldly at the enclosed temple, and said in a cold voice: "The monks in the temple don't have to stay, the more people die The better." The empress ordered the guards to kill Wusa, causing Puji Temple to bleed into rivers, and the words reached the ears of the emperor, even if he wanted to protect the empress, he might not be able to protect the empress.As long as the queen solves it, it will be easier for Zhao Huaiyan to deal with it.

After he gave the order, a man in black went out immediately with his face covered.

At this moment, Lin Jinhua was led by Mo Xue to the back mountain of Puji Temple. They came by the small road, and Lin Jinhua also knew that there was a small courtyard that could lead directly to the back of the Daxiong Hall.

At this moment, the queen was only waiting for the news in the Daxiong Palace with a livid face, but the news that kept coming was only the news that the civilians had been killed.

Yun Jiang looked at her worriedly, and said: "Madam, if this continues, I'm afraid those mobs will really come in."

The queen gritted her teeth slightly: "I'm afraid I can't be called a mob now." This is what she fears the most. Those people came with legitimate reasons, but the leader of her own guards took the initiative to kill without mercy. Ling, there are countless deaths and injuries outside, no matter what, this hat of indiscriminate killing of innocents will be put on the head of the mother of the country.

Just as I was thinking about it, a nanny came in from outside and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you can go through the back door first, the servants are blocking here, and the officers and soldiers will arrive at some time."

The queen frowned, and there was already a knock on the door behind the main hall.

Yun Jiang's expression tightened, and he asked anxiously, "Who?"

"It's me, Lin Jinhua." Lin Jinhua said.

The queen heard the words, and then asked someone to open the door.

Seeing Lin Jinhua suddenly appearing here, he only had doubts: "Why are you here?"

"I came to Puji Temple with my family to burn incense. When I was down the mountain, I heard the sound of beatings and killings. I was worried that something would happen to my mother, so I walked up the trail. I never thought that I just happened to come to this backyard." Lin Jinhua said With a low eyebrow, she explained, at least for now, she can't let the queen die.

The nanny on one side followed, "Mother, why don't you go down the mountain first with Miss Lin..."

Yun Jiang also nodded, and the abbot beside him said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk will send monks to follow you. I don't know why so many people came here today, and some innocent pilgrims who didn't know were killed indiscriminately. You should go down the mountain first. For good."

The queen thought about it, and felt that what he said was reasonable, so she glanced at Lin Jinhua coldly: "You lead the way." If there is a fraud, she will die first.

Mo Xue felt uncomfortable looking at her suspicious eyes, and was even more annoyed when she heard this. When she saw the queen before, she thought she was a generous and dignified person, but she never thought that she would be so selfish and narrow-minded.

Lin Jinhua didn't care much about it, so she nodded and took her outside.

Out of the small courtyard, the path was very rugged and covered with dead shrubs. Lin Jinhua and Mo Xue walked ahead quickly, but the queen could only walk slowly step by step while holding the maid's hand. Anxious, but sure enough, they were spotted.That's right, a large group of people are walking slowly in this back mountain, how could they not be noticed.

The man in black surrounded the queen and the monks, and they also surrounded each other, confronting each other.

The queen gouged out Lin Jinhua's eyes, and then said coldly: "Who are you? How many benefits they have given you, I can give you double!"

The leading man in black didn't say a word, just drew his sword and killed indifferently.

The queen firmly held Yun Jiang in front of her, and found that the maid next to Lin Jinhua was very skilled in martial arts. Without saying a word, she pushed Yun Jiang away and held Lin Jinzhen tightly in front of her as a shield.

The long arrow shot from the dark, Lin Jinyu watched the arrow coming towards her body, and wanted to dodge sideways, but the queen was actually holding onto her tightly, so she could only watch the long arrow stab her fiercely. into her shoulders.

Seeing this, Mo Xue kicked the man in black away, and hurried over: "Miss, are you alright!"

"What are you doing, why don't you kill all the men in black!" the Queen angrily yelled.

Mo Xue gritted her teeth, Lin Jinhua only covered her shoulders and said, "I'm fine, you go!"

Mo Xue looked at her pale face, knew that the arrow might be poisonous, and looked at the Queen coldly: "If Miss dies, no one here will survive!"

"You dare to threaten me?" The queen's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Lin Jinhua hurriedly said, "Mo Xue, go quickly."

Mo Xue was calm and restrained. Seeing the shameless queen, she had no choice but to go forward and kill with a sword.

Lin Jinhua glanced sideways at the queen, who was full of suspicion and murderous intent, her eyes were cold. Since that was the case, she would not talk about the Gu worm, and the queen should bear the consequences herself.

Because Huijue had told the queen mother in advance that the city guards were also prepared, and when they heard the movement, they rushed up the mountain without saying a word.Zhao Kan was also a little surprised to see that the city guards came so quickly.

At this time, someone rushed over and said, "Your Highness, the queen is gone."

"I don't see..." Zhao Kan frowned, and said in a low voice: "It should be on this mountain, let someone look for it immediately, and find Killing Unforgiven!"

"Yes!" The people below responded, and suddenly a smoke screen lit up in the sky, and Zhao Kan narrowed his eyes evilly: "There, kill her!"

"Yes!"

Lin Jinhua looked at the monks who were slowly becoming weaker. They kept their ultimate moves everywhere, so that the dozen or so men in black couldn't solve it at all.

She squeezed the wax pill in her palm, which contained the best drug, which was enough for self-protection.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a burst of quick footsteps, and then a group of men in black came over.

Seeing this, the queen knew that these monks couldn't stop her, so she pushed Lin Jinhua forward, turned around and ran back quickly.

Lin Jinhua was pushed in front of the man in black. The man in black's eyes turned cold, and he raised his sword and stabbed her in the neck.

"Miss—!" Mo Xue yelled, but she couldn't help her.

Seeing that the cold sword was about to pierce her throat, the man in black groaned. Lin Jinhua raised his eyes and saw that a long sword pierced him from behind.

The man in black fell down, and Lin Jinhua lost her balance and fell forward, just in time to fall into the arms of the man who made the move.

Zhao Kan looked at the snow-white man in his arms, his bright red lips panting slightly, and his eyes were wet, like a scene of a woman having a good time.Looking down at her slender white neck, it is already well developed, I don't know how it feels...

Before he finished thinking, a sharp arrow came through the air, and he had to turn around to block it, but another arrow shot again.

Zhao Kan sensed that something was wrong, and immediately looked around. The people on the left and right immediately took their swords and went to kill the queen, but in the dense forest behind him, the guard of Prince Ning's mansion, Gao Zhi, came out with people.

When Zhao Kan saw it was him, his face immediately sank, and he planned to grab Lin Jinhua and leave, but the sharp arrows in the forest shot more and more fiercely one after another.

After Zhao Kan dodged, he snorted coldly: "Why, don't you dare show your face?"

Lin Jinhua probably guessed who the person in the woods was, took the opportunity to grab Zhao Kan's arm, and bit down hard, refusing to let go until his mouth was filled with the smell of blood.

"You—!" Zhao Kan couldn't stand the pain, and barely let go of her hand, and she immediately stepped back and fell to the ground. The wound on her shoulder was so painful that she almost passed out.

Zhao Kan wanted to come up to catch her, but the arrows in the forest shot at her again, preventing him from approaching at all.

Gao Tien and his men quickly cleaned up more than half of the men in black, and then Zhao Kan's bodyguard stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The situation is not good, let's leave first." One thing has been arranged, even if the queen does not die, she will peel off her skin.

Zhao Kan looked at Lin Jinhua who was lying on the side unwillingly. If she is taken away, it seems good to imprison her, but...

Zhao Kan looked at the dense forest, then at the bloody wound on his shoulder, and had no choice but to leave.

Gao Zhi didn't take anyone to chase after him, and he was relieved after they left, and saluted the terrified queen: "The escort came late..."

"It's really late! Useless trash." The queen's nerves had been tense, and she only cursed angrily when she heard this.

Yun Jiang quickly reminded her, and she came back to her senses, gritted her teeth, turned her head and left.

Gao Zhi looked at Mo Xue, gestured towards the forest, and then chased after the queen.

Mo Xue immediately ran to Lin Jinhua's side to help her up, and said softly, "Miss, are you okay?"

Lin Jinhua shook her head: "I'm fine."

She turned her head and looked towards Lin Zi, did Huai Yan come?

Deep in the woods, a man in a black cloak walked slowly. Seeing the wound on Lin Jinhua's shoulder, his whole body was shrouded in a chill, and the bow and arrow in his hand were still on the side. She looked straight into her eyes, all the harshness disappeared, and her cold tone softened a bit: "I told you not to take such risks."

"I'm sorry..." Lin Jinhua obediently admitted her mistake.

Mo Yue happened to come over, saw Lin Jinhua was injured, and hurriedly said, "Miss, you are..."

"It's okay, did you find what you were looking for?"

"The servants have arrested a few people pretending to be ordinary people, and they have already been knocked out so that they can be quietly taken away." Mo Yue said.

Lin Jinhua nodded: "Well, take people down the mountain quickly, once Zhao Kan's people find that there are fewer people..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Huaiyan raised her hand and knocked her out. Looking at the arrow on her shoulder, her complexion was dark, and after carefully picking her up, she looked at Mo Xue coldly: "This king asked you Protect her."

"Slave convicted."

"Get punished by yourself..." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently, then glanced at Mo Yue again: "Let her handle the queen's affairs by herself, and don't have to come to Jinhua again these few days."

Mo Yue knew that he was worried that Miss would think too much, so she quickly agreed.Watching Zhao Huaiyan carefully carry the person away, she looked at Mo Xue, and couldn't help but said: "Everyone says that one thing is one thing, our lady is not afraid of anything, but she also fell into the hands of our prince."

Mo Xue's eyes were light: "It's not certain who will fall into whose hands."

Mo Yue watched Zhao Huaiyan's back slowly disappear into the forest, smiled, then turned and left.

What happened in Puji Temple quickly spread throughout the capital like a gust of wind, and everyone was shocked. After all, it was the queen who ordered the people to be killed without mercy!
In the palace, Jiacai finished applying medicine to the wound on his arm, and then asked the eunuch who was talking back and forth, "That's all?"

"Also, when the queen's people were stuffing the dragon boat today, Gu worms also crawled out of their stomachs, which is exactly the same as Zheng Ruyi's death." The father-in-law said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Jiacai sneered, "Mother and son are not stupid, you know how to focus on bringing down one first."

Seeing her laughing, the father-in-law dared to say: "Then, what should we do? The silver taels given by the concubine last time are almost used up."

"No rush..." She put down her rolled up sleeves, looked at her burnt face in the mirror, and said, "The empress will be returning to the palace soon, let's go say hello."

As soon as the father-in-law heard this, he immediately went to pick out a good dress for her. The talented person just smiled lightly: "No, it's best like this. It's best that both the queen mother and the emperor are here." She touched her face, stood up indifferently, and looked out. And go, and the queen has indeed become an ant on a hot pot.

Yun Jiang saw how anxious she was resting on her forehead, and said softly: "Madam, Miss Lin can still testify, you have no other choice..."

"Go get her here..."

"My servant heard that she was injured and passed out, and she still hasn't woken up yet." Yun Jiang said, "Do you want to send the doctor Liu to take a look?"

"Then go quickly!" The queen was very impatient, but when she yelled loudly, she heard a message from a maid outside, saying that a talented person is asking to see her.

The queen's face sank coldly: "No see."

The maid timidly said: "But the talented person said that there is a way to help the empress."

The queen raised her head to look at her when she heard the words, and said after a while, "Let her in."

The palace maid went immediately.

Not long after, Jiacai stepped in, saw the empress, knelt on the ground in a respectful manner and saluted.

The queen looked at her and sneered: "Don't think that I don't know what your plan is. You want to use my hand to get rid of the respected person, right?" Cold: "There are many people in this world who can use this palace as a knife to kill people, but it's not your turn no matter what, understand!"

Jiacai's eyes flickered slightly, he raised his eyes, but changed another look, a look of grievance and struggle, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, the concubine really wants to get rid of the respected person, and Empress Empress, you Now if you don't believe in the concubine, what else can I do? The concubine heard that the empress's people crawled out of the stomach of the empress in public, and shouted that the empress put the Gu worm in."

"What!" The queen clenched her hands when she heard the word Gu Chong, and immediately went to look at Yun Jiang, but Yun Jiang hadn't received the news, so she quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty..."

The queen gritted her teeth, turned her head to stare at Jia Cairen's face, and said coldly: "Do you really have a plan?"

"As long as the empress trusts the concubine, the concubine will have a plan." Jiacai stared straight at the queen, as long as you believe me, you will not be far from being crushed.Compared to the honorable person who blindly plays ruthless, of course the cunning queen is more difficult to deal with!
