Chapter 85
The torrential rain came suddenly, and people on the street went to the sides to take shelter, but it was inevitable that they were still drenched in the rain.
In the dark cell, because the yamen guards outside suddenly came in, a cool breeze was brought in, and the cell became even more humid.
In the corner of the cell, Lin Jinhua was sitting by the haystack, looking at the only palm-sized window in the cell, the rain drifted in along the window, wetting the ashes on the wall, and the little bugs quickly burrowed into the base of the wall go.
"It's true, it rained so hard suddenly that we couldn't even do what our lord told us to do." Someone outside muttered, pulled the stool away and sat outside.
Lin Jinhua also pricked up her ears and listened quietly.
"That's right, I don't know what happened to Dingnanhou's Mansion, so many maids died suddenly." Another servant shook his head, with a bit of mockery: "I heard from the coroner who went to the autopsy that those women His lower body was smashed, and I don't know which flower-picking maniac has done it so ruthlessly."
"Two of them died in one night. You should say that the flower picker is in good health."
Some people made fun of it, and the others laughed too. They picked up the wine bowls, touched them, and started working.
Not long after, someone came outside again, brought a bag of sauced beef wrapped in lotus leaves, looked at them and said with a smile: "Brothers, this is a reward from the Marquis of Dingnan when I go to the Marquis's mansion today for business. , let's break up."
"It's just in time, I'm worried that I don't have any food to go with the wine." The few people smelled the strong aroma of meat from the lotus leaf, and they were so greedy that they quickly drank the meat and the wine. However, after eating and drinking enough, he hiccupped and felt sleepy, and fell asleep on the table after a while.
When Lin Jinhua heard the voices outside coming to an abrupt end, she quickly became vigilant, turned her head to look where she was looking, but saw a yamen servant stand up with a clear face, snorted softly, touched the key from another yamen servant's waist, and took it off again. He looked at Lin Jinhua's cell and walked over.
Lin Jinhua quickly leaned against the wall and pretended to fall asleep. When the yamen servant came and saw that she had fallen asleep, he smiled and said, "It's a pity, such a beauty..." After speaking, he opened the cell door, turned around and walked out quickly go.
Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Lin Jinhua immediately opened her eyes, walked to the cell door and looked out. Just now, all the yamen servants had fallen asleep. She tried to shout, but it was useless.Looking around, I found that the cells on the left and right were also empty, and there was no one at all.
She knew that someone must be coming, so she held all the wax pills brought out today in the palm of her hand, leaned against the corner, and waited for someone from outside to come over, but after a long while, there was still no sound from outside, and after a long time, she saw Gao Tian come from The entrance came in.
"Miss Lin?" He softly called around.
"I'm here." Lin Jinhua waved at him, seeing that it was him who came, she felt a lot more at ease, but the yamen servant just now was definitely not working for him.
When Gao Tian approached, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that she was not injured, Gao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's the prince who wants to see you, but when he came over, he heard someone secretly ordering the yamen servant to kidnap the young lady, so the prince went to lure the person away."
"But if we get through today, there's no guarantee that they won't repeat the same tricks tomorrow. Gao Zhi, I want you to do me a favor." Lin Jinhua thought for a while and said to him.
Looking at her serious expression, Gao Tian suddenly had a bad feeling: "Miss Lin, the prince will not allow you to take risks alone."
"Aren't you here? How can I be considered alone?" Seeing that he guessed it, Lin Jinyu smiled: "It's not too late, go and let the prince bring him back, if you don't cut the grass and roots at once, I'm afraid it will be even worse." trouble."
Seeing her determination, Gao Zhi also felt that it was reasonable. After thinking about it, he nodded: "This subordinate will go now..."
"And... tell the prince, trust me." Lin Jinhua warned, otherwise with Huaiyan's temper, she would never agree.
Seeing this, Gao Zhi nodded and walked out quickly.
The rain was heavier again, accompanied by the rumble of thunder, and the wind blew in from the small window, making the candles flicker.
The green moss on the wall peeled off and made a slight sound when it fell to the ground.
At this time, the person standing at the door of the cell stared at the door darkly, and touched his chin: "Is she alone in there?"
"The other people in the cell were transferred out early in the morning with excuses, and the rest of the idiots are all drunk, and now there is only one Lin Jinhua left in it." The former yamen servant looked at the person in front of him flatteringly, and said cautiously: "You go in Well, the little one will guard here for you, and once someone comes, the little one will notify you immediately."
Marquis Dingnan's eyes were a little greedy, thinking of Lin Jinhua, the impulse in his heart was only three points, but now it turned into ten points.
His eyes dimmed, and he walked towards the prison.
The yamen servant saw him go in, so he told the rest of the guards: "It's good to see...uh..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a figure behind him, covering his mouth tightly and quickly slit his throat.
Seeing this, the others rushed to draw out their knives, but they were kicked back before they could pull out the knives, and when they were about to speak, someone wiped their necks.
Gao Zhi ordered people to drag all these people down and deal with them properly, then looked at the cold-faced people who came towards him, and said in a low voice, "My lord, just trust Miss Lin."
Zhao Huaiyan gritted his teeth tightly, didn't speak, just stared at the cell door like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open in the night, if Dingnanhou really dared to hurt a hair of Hua'er, he would cut him into pieces!
Xu Chengqing didn't sleep that night. After checking with Mo Xue in the middle of the night, he let out a long sigh of relief, got up and walked out from the Dali Temple Mansion, and said to the guards: "Follow me to get someone."
"My lord, it's so late, who should I take?" The guards looked at him sleepily, and then looked at the sky. It was still raining outside. Even though it was May, when the rain fell, it still made people shiver.
Xu Chengqing glanced at him with deep eyes, and then said: "Of course he is someone who is trying to harm my country and society!"
"What?" When the guard heard that it was so serious, he cheered up quickly, woke up the others by the way, made people prepare the carriages and horses, and followed Xu Chengqing out quickly.
The carriage stepped on the muddy water on the ground and headed forward all the way, and the people there had no way of knowing that the danger was approaching so quickly.
In the flower hall brightly lit by candles, Mrs. Dingnanhou looked at the arrogant man in front of her, and her heart ached with anger: "Hexiang, you think that Lord Hou raised you to be a wife, so you are really the mistress of this Hou's mansion." Well, let me tell you, dreaming!"
"Dream?" He Xiang smiled faintly, raised her bare hands lightly, turned around and sat gracefully on the chief seat, straightened her rose-red gauze dress, looked at her charmingly, and said with a smile: "Do you think you How can you compare with me? Appearance, or figure?"
"You are a rough woman from the countryside. You don't know who is behind your back. How dare you threaten me now? Apart from your appearance as a witch, what else is good about you?" Dingnanhou's face was so angry blue.
He Xiang sneered softly, looked at Huang Li who was following Madam Dingnan Hou and had already become an aunt, and said with a smile: "Huang Li, what are you still doing?"
"It's Madam." Huang Li raised her neck and responded crisply.
Mrs. Dingnan Hou turned to look at her in surprise: "Huang Li, when did you get along with her?"
Huang Li covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Ma'am, why do you have to speak so harshly? I'm just a man who understands current affairs and is a hero." After speaking, she clapped her hands: "Bring me the things."
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman came in from outside holding several volumes of sexually explicit pamphlets.
When Mrs. Hou saw it, her complexion became darker, she raised her hand and slapped Huang Li severely: "Baby maid, what are you doing, are you trying to humiliate my wife? In this Dingnanhou mansion, you don't have the right to speak!"
Huang Li covered her mouth and gritted her teeth, turned her head and knelt on the ground and said to He Xiang: "Second madam, the eldest madam used such methods to confuse Lord Hou and emptied him. How can such a promiscuous person be the wife of the wife , Second Madam, please help Lord Hou!"
"A mere wife, who has the right to dispose of my wife!" Mrs. Dingnanhou glared with round eyes, but when she remembered that Dingnanhou's thoughts were all on Hexiang, she didn't pay any attention to herself, and felt aggrieved, and became popular again. Eye.
He Xiang smiled gracefully, looked at the furious Mrs. Dingnanhou, and said: "In that case, then I will wrong the lady to sleep in the firewood room for a day, and let the Marquis make a decision in the morning."
"you dare……"
"Why, didn't you hear it?" He Xiang lightly glanced at the women on one side.
The women are ready to move, after all, everyone knows who is favored between He Xiang and the now childless Mrs. Hou, and what's even more outrageous is that Master Hou has already responded to Aunt He Xiang's request.
After thinking about it, a woman stepped forward and said, "Madam, why don't you..."
"Shut up!" Seeing how daring the servants were, the people from Dingnanhou's Mansion hurried forward to pull Hexiang's hair while holding their skirts, but Huang Li stepped forward and grabbed her hair without waiting. She opened her mouth and slapped her face twice.
She was completely confused, and immediately came the humiliated fury: "You will all turn against me!" Mrs. Hou cursed and was about to pounce on her, but Huang Li kicked her down hard in the lower abdomen, kicking her. Then he kicked Mrs. Dingnanhou, who had not recovered from the miscarriage, to the ground.
When someone fell down, she was also confused, and hurriedly knelt down with Hexiang and said with a pale face: "Second madam, I didn't do it on purpose."
"Aren't you going to send Da Furen to the firewood room?" He Xiang only smiled faintly.
Seeing this, the people below wanted to drag Mrs. Hou down without saying a word.
While Mrs. Hou was struggling, someone suddenly came running outside. Seeing this scene, she was startled, opened her mouth, and forgot to say anything.
He Xiang glanced at her and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
The mother-in-law hurriedly came back to her senses, and looked at Mrs. Hou embarrassingly, and said: "Master Xu is here and said he wants to see Mrs. Hou."
"Which Master Xu?"
"It's Mr. Xu Chengqing who was just promoted to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." The woman said anxiously.
Madam Dingnanhou's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly!"
"Yes..." The old woman hesitated for a moment, but looked towards He Xiang. After thinking about it, He Xiang thought that nothing would happen, so she raised her hand: "Go and invite the person in." Looking at Mrs. Hou's servants, the servants were so frightened that they immediately dragged Mrs. Hou away.
Hexiang asked people to brew the newly bought scented tea and drank it slowly. After a while, they heard footsteps outside the yard. Before they raised their heads, Huang Li said timidly: "Second Madam, Mr. Xu seems to have brought a lot of people here. , and aggressively."
"This is Dingnanhou's Mansion, can he still make mistakes?" He Xiang has a well-thought-out plan and is not afraid of Xu Chengqing.
Xu Chengqing saw her from a long distance, recalling what Lin Jinhua said when he was taken away that day, he snorted coldly in his heart, before entering the room, he said coldly: "How dare you murder Dingnanhou, how dare you collude with the people in the palace to frame her?" Zhongliang, he deserves to be punished for his crime!"
He Xiang didn't even put down the teacup in his hand, when he heard this, his hands stiffened, and the smile on his face faded, he just looked up at him: "What is Master Xu talking about, I didn't even say a word Understood."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you go to the government with me, you will understand everything. Come here, and take her away with me!" Xu Chengqing ordered imposingly.
When the attendants heard this, they didn't dare to hesitate. After all, although Xu Chengqing was a new official, his father was a sacrificial wine, and his younger sister was the newly-appointed Princess Yongle.
The attendants surrounded him, but the people from the Hou Mansion also surrounded him, their swords drawn.
Xu Chengqing glanced at them coldly, and said coldly: "Why, someone is going to kill you, Lord Hou, and you still want to defend the murderer?"
Those people looked at each other and were also embarrassed.
When Hexiang saw it, she only smiled slightly, her winking eyes rolled around, she stared at him and said lazily, "Master Xu, what you said is wrong, even if you want to point me out, you have to show evidence. Isn't it child's play to arrest me, a woman from a good family, and go to prison without evidence? By the way, your cousin Lin Jinyu was sent to prison for harming my relatives. You came here to avenge your own personal revenge?"
Xu Chengqing saw that she was plausible, and didn't panic at all, and called softly: "Come here, present the evidence."
After saying that, looking at Hexiang's unchanged expression, the coldness on his face became even worse.She thinks she has hidden all the evidence, but is that really the case, she is a rotten egg with a lot of seams.
After finishing speaking, Mo Xue had already walked in from the outside, brought a person with her, and pulled out a few letters from her sleeve.
He Xiang looked at the person, her eyebrows twitched slightly, she just looked at him coldly and said, "Who are you?"
The man froze for a moment, then quickly raised his head to look at her: "Xiang'er, you don't know your mother anymore?"
"Mother?" He Xiang snorted softly, "I have neither father nor mother..."
"Although your biological parents are dead, I raised you. If it weren't for me, you would have been eaten by wild dogs! Now you say you don't know me, you ungrateful bastard!" The woman said directly He changed his face and cursed harshly.
He Xiang looked at the woman on the ground with cold eyes.When Lin Jinhua doubted Hexiang's identity, she immediately asked Mo Yue to investigate. Mo Yue was also quick to find out that Hexiang had such an adoptive mother.
Hexiang's complexion changed slightly, seeing her adoptive mother's mean and bitter look, she finally couldn't help breaking the superficial calm, and said angrily: "How much kindness have you done to me? You either beat me or scolded me since I was a child..." After she finished cursing, After my heart calmed down a bit, I quickly calmed down and said: "You don't need to worry about things here, I will do what I have to do, you just have to remember not to say what you shouldn't say."
"Aren't you talking about your relationship with the Ninth Prince? Aren't you just an outer room he kept outside? No, maybe the outer room is not even counted. You are just one of his playthings. When you like it, you will love me. If you don't like it I will throw you to other men to play with..."
"Shut up!" He Xiang finally couldn't help but slammed the tea cup at her adoptive mother, but was kicked away by Mo Xue.
The tea splashed on the adoptive mother's face, and it turned red in an instant. Without saying a word, she turned her head and said to Xu Chengqing: "Master Xu, you should arrest her quickly. She killed people, and I saw it with my own eyes."
"You—!" He Xiang gritted his teeth, quickly got up and walked to her and said coldly, "I'll give you ten taels of silver every month, why, don't you want it?"
The adoptive mother slapped her away, and snorted coldly: "Do you think you are sending a beggar? My son is going to marry a wife, and I asked you to take 1 taels and you have been slow to take it. Do you think I care about your ten taels?" silver?"
Xu Chengqing glanced at the guards beside him: "Someone has already testified, why don't you take him away?"
"I am the second wife of the Hou Mansion. If you want to take me away, you have to wait for the Hou Ye to come back!" He Xiang straightened up and looked at Xu Chengqing, and sneered, "It's possible that Mr. Xu is going to set the blame on the first day he takes office. Is it a trick to beat him?"
"To save Lord Hou, there is no delay." Xu Chengqing also responded coldly. As soon as he raised his hand, the surrounding guards quickly surrounded him, but the guards of Dingnanhou's mansion also surrounded him.
Seeing this, Hexiang smiled lightly, and raised his hand to touch Xu Chengqing's chin, but heard a sentence from outside: "Who dares to obstruct Mr. Xu's work, is it Hexiang's accomplice, or does he also want to kill the prince?"
As soon as these words came out, the attendants of the Hou Mansion immediately hesitated. He Xiang looked out of the door, and saw that Mrs. Dingnan Hou who had just been dragged down came here again, and the woman she didn't know was following her. .
Mo Yue helped Mrs. Dingnanhou all the way to the door, and then exchanged a glance with Mo Xue, and backed away.
Xu Chengqing greeted Mrs. Hou respectfully, and then said: "Mrs. Hou, this matter is really abrupt, but I have not seen you, Madam, so I can only do things first."
"Master Xu, you don't have to be polite, anyone who dares to harm Lord Hou will be against the entire Hou Mansion!" After finishing speaking, he coldly stared at the servants around him: "If you haven't heard my wife's words, don't back down!"
He Xiang gritted his teeth, Huang Li hurried over and pulled He Xiang, "Second Madam, what should I do?"
Hexiang ignored her, just looked at Xu Chengqing, and sneered: "Okay, I'll go with you, I want to see what else is there besides this personal ID card!" Focusing on Mrs. Nanhou, she walked straight away.
Xu Chengqing looked at Mo Xue, Mo Xue nodded, did not follow him, but waited for him to leave, then looked at Mrs. Dingnanhou and said seriously: "Mrs. Hou, I want to ask you something."
"Is it related to Hexiang?"
"Yes." Mo Xue nodded.
Madam Hou laughed: "Okay, I'll help you!"
When Mo Xue finished talking, her eyes lit up slightly, she looked at her and said, "You don't worry, go and do things for Master Xu, and Madam Ben will take care of the rest." Since He Xiang provoked the government, she naturally I don't mind using the government's hand to make Hexiang suffer a terrible death!
When Mo Xue heard the words, the stone in her heart dropped, she saluted, and left in a hurry.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Hou took a look at Huang Li whose eyeballs were still spinning around, and said coldly: "I thought you were smart and cultivateable, but I didn't expect you to be beaten by mud because you can't support the wall." ..."
"Ma'am, this concubine knows I was wrong..."
"Knowing your mistakes is useful, so what do you need to punish? Someone, pull her down for me, cut off the claws, beat another fifty boards, and throw them into the kiln." The man from Dingnanhou's mansion ordered coldly.
Everyone trembled when they heard this, and rushed forward to drag Huang Li away.
As soon as Huang Oriole left, Mrs. Hou saw that the sky had begun to turn pale, so she didn't go to sleep, so she asked people to prepare her clothes and waited for the next day to enter the palace, but she didn't know that at this moment, there was a scene in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. A good show.
Lin Jinhua looked at Marquis Dingnan who was standing at the door of the cell and looked at him with burning eyes, and said, "Master Hou, you have been controlled by Gu insects for so long, don't you know?"
"Lin Jinhua, you have exhausted Benhou's patience. Now you can't change Benhou's mind even if you say you have a good tongue. I want you now!" After finishing speaking, he kicked Kicking open the locked cell door, he rushed straight at Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua's wax pills had been crushed for a long time, and when he came, she raised her hand and threw the powder all over his face.
Marquis Dingnan didn't make any preparations, and inhaled a large amount of medicinal powder, only to feel dizzy.
He shook his head violently and stared at Lin Jinhua in front of him. Her small body looked very soft, and her slightly pursed red lips were extremely alluring.
"Little goblin, you still seduced Ben Hou, and Ben Hou will eat you right now..." After finishing speaking, she gave a lewd smile, raised her hand and rushed towards her.
However, he had inhaled a large amount of drugs, and his movements were no longer agile enough, so Lin Jinhua dodged him easily.
No one was caught, Ding Nanhou paused for a moment, then laughed again: "Lin Jinhua, it's just you and me here, let's see where you and I are going..."
Where are you going?The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up, of course he was running to Jing Zhaoyin's house.
After thinking about it, he opened the cell door and went out.
Marquis Dingnan saw the beauty on his lips and ran away like this, how could he be reconciled, and it seemed that Lin Jinzheng's medicine had added a love potion, which made him feel an evil fire all over him, wishing he could knock her down immediately.
Lin Jinhua ran forward quickly, and found that Dingnanhou was still chasing him, and felt emotional in his heart. Fortunately, the people outside were all taken care of by Huaiyan, otherwise, with Dingnanhou's strong physical fitness, the medicine would really be confusing. he.
While thinking about it, he looked at the person chasing behind him, and ran out of the cell without saying a word.
After leaving the cell door, she could obviously feel a scorching gaze on her body, is Huai Yan watching from around here?
She looked around, and because she was slow for a moment, Ding Nanhou grabbed her arm.
Seeing this, Zhao Huaiyan in the dark was so angry that his eyes sparkled.Marquis Dingnan dared to touch her!How dare he grab her with his dirty hands!
Gao Tian looked at the prince who was about to run away, and hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't worry, prince, we can't ruin Miss Lin's plan."
Zhao Huaiyan gritted her teeth and stared at the situation below. When she saw Marquis Dingnan's eyes full of desire, she couldn't wait to go down and dig!
Lin Jinhua quickly pulled out the hairpin on his head and stabbed it hard into his arm. Seeing that he let go of the pain, she didn't care much, and ran forward with her skirt lifted.
The front door separating the prison cell and the government office has been opened, presumably the people of Dingnanhou secretly bribed the guards to open it on purpose.
Lin Jinhua walked through this door, saw that Dingnanhou was still chasing after him, and his consciousness seemed to be under control, so he hurried through the courtroom and went to the yard on the other side. Jing Zhaoyin usually worked at night and slept. over here.
When she got to the door, she started calling for help and knocking on the door suddenly. Even if the people who were hiding here were alarmed by Hou Dingnan, it was time to wake up Jing Zhaoyin.
Sure enough, Master Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang immediately woke up from his sleep when he heard the voice outside, picked up the cloak without saying a word, woke up the guarding yamen servants, and quickly let people open the door.
Lin Jinhua looked at Dingnanhou who was approaching step by step, and heard the approaching footsteps in the yard behind, she didn't dodge any more, let Dingnanhou grab her by the throat and hold her tightly one side of the wall.
As soon as the courtyard door was opened, the sky was slightly brighter. The yamen servant raised the lantern in his hand, easily saw the person in front of him, and shouted in fright: "My lord, something serious has happened!"
Mr. Zhang ran out quickly, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his heart jumped into his throat, and he hurriedly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and pull people away!"
After finishing speaking, the yamen servants stepped forward to pull the man away, but Dingnanhou's expression became more and more strange, and he kept making a low growl like a beast, his eyes were bloodshot: "Woman, give me woman……"
He kept yelling, and Master Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Jinhua, who was pale with fright.Seeing her trembling while clutching the blood-stained hairpin, she asked anxiously, "Miss Lin, what's going on?"
"I don't know..." Lin Jinhua shook her head at him with tears in her eyes: "I was asleep, but in the middle of the night I heard the sound of the cell door being opened, and then I saw Lord Hou come in, talking The reason why I was put in jail is because of..." Lin Jinhua didn't continue, Master Zhang knew what he was going to say without listening.
With a cold face, he turned his head to look at Hou Dingnan coldly and said: "Master Hou, this matter..."
After finishing speaking, he found that Marquis Dingnan was unconscious. He glanced at Lin Jinhua in surprise and said, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either. He was like this when he saw Master Hou." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, he said in a trembling voice, "I'm a doctor, why don't I take a look for him first?"
"This..." Mr. Zhang knew that Lin Jinhua had been wronged, but he couldn't invite a doctor in time at this moment, so he nodded, "Miss Lin was wronged."
Lin Jinhua bit her lip slightly, watching the servants hold down the crazy Marquis Dingnan, and then stepped forward to hold his pulse, and the jade butterfly on the other hand just pretended to be inadvertently pressed to him On the wound that was scratched on the arm just now.
After keeping her pulse for a long time, Mr. Zhang saw that she was silent, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss Lin, what's the matter?"
Lin Jinhua looked up at him and said, "My lord, have you heard that women have been killed in the Hou Mansion these days?"
Master Zhang frowned: "Do you think it has something to do with Marquis Dingnan?"
"Minnv once saw an introduction about Gu insects in southern borders in an ancient book. One of them, called Red Lotus Gu, is specially sacrificed with the blood of young girls. After growing up, it will gradually control the mind of the host until the host Go crazy." Lin Jinhua said in a deep voice, she felt that something was wrong with Marquis Dingnan before, but she never thought about the Gu worms, after all, the Gu worms were made by Zhao Kan. I thought that after the emperor was furious, no one would dare to use this as a cover anymore, but I never thought that there would still be, and they would still use such powerful officials as Marquis Dingnan.
After the words fell, a yamen servant suddenly let out a soft cry, and raised his finger to Dingnanhou's mouth: "What kind of thing crawled out..."
Lin Jinhua took a closer look and found that the blood-red wriggling worms were the red lotus Gu mentioned in the book.
"My lord..." Lin Jinhua hurriedly took a step back, and Master Zhang immediately ordered: "Catch this bug!"
After finishing speaking, someone immediately pulled out the saber and picked out the bug, and chopped it into pieces three or two times. Marquis Dingnan also stopped his madness, stared at his eyes and took a deep breath before passing out.
When Mr. Zhang heard Lin Jinzheng talk about the Gu worm, he was on high alert. When he saw the Gu worm, his face sank completely, and he said to her: "This matter is all due to my negligence. It allows people to come in and out at will, and it almost hurt you. Don't worry, all the people who take care of you will be replaced by officials, and others will be severely punished. But Miss Lin, I have to enter the palace now."
"Minister girl understands, Master Zhang please." Lin Jinhua said obediently with downcast eyes.
Master Zhang took a look at her and knew that she was not the person that Mrs. Yan said was killing innocent people indiscriminately in order to fight for a piece of land in Zhuangzi. He only nodded to her and then left quickly.
After they left, Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking up and looking not far away, a black figure stood gently on the top of the wall. The sun slowly rose from the sky after the rain, as if casting a layer of golden light on him. His long black hair was casually scattered behind him. With the breeze blowing slightly, it seems that it is about to disappear at this moment.
Lin Jinhua knew that he would always be there, and she felt at ease, so she just smiled sweetly at him, but she was afraid that the guards on the side would find out, so she immediately turned her head and left for the cell.
Seeing her clever appearance, Zhao Huaiyan sighed helplessly.
Gao Zhi was rather happy: "Miss Lin really has a way."
"You stay here to guard her, and let this king find out that another man touched her..."
"Don't worry, my lord, if another man touches it, my subordinates will definitely chop off his hand." Gao Ting promised firmly.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, then looked in Lin Jinhua's direction for a long time before turning around and leaving.
in the palace.
Early in the morning, the silence has been broken.
After applying the medicine in the morning, Jiacai couldn't help feeling strange when he saw that no one came to wait for him, so he got up and opened the door to go out, but when he walked into the yard, he found that there was no one from the palace. up.
"Little Lizi." She called to her confidant eunuch, but after a while, there was no movement around, only a wild cat jumped onto the side of the dry well and meowed.
Jiacai frowned slightly, and stepped towards the dry well. When he got to the dry well, he could smell a strong smell of blood and stench inside.
Her complexion turned pale, and she took two steps back, but she still couldn't help vomiting with nausea.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound from the door, and the green embroidered shoes unique to the palace maid stepped in.
Jiacai raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was the Forsythia beside Jinggui.
"Are you responsible for these people?" Jiacai asked, holding back his nausea.
Lianqiao just looked at her as if she didn't understand: "What are you talking about? The nobleman saw that you hadn't gone to take care of him after three days, so he specially asked the servant to come and see if you are sick." After Lianqiao finished speaking, she found that she was vomiting. , Covering his lips and laughing: "What's wrong with the talented man? Why is he still vomiting? Could it be that the old clam wants to grow pearls? But the emperor has never favored you. Could it be that you and the six unclean eunuchs in the palace..."
"Shut up!" She finally couldn't help yelling.
Lianqiao was not afraid of her at all, she only glanced at her coldly, and said: "There are many strange things in the palace, there are concubines who have affairs with eunuchs, masters who hang out with slaves, and masters who cruelly killed everyone around them." Damn, this servant is just reminding you..." After Lianqiao finished speaking, she suddenly covered her nose and said, "Oh, why is it so stinky." After finishing speaking, she looked towards the well, just as Jiacai was about to yell, "Don't ’, Lianqiao turned pale with fright, glanced at Jiacai, turned her head and ran outside, shouting as she ran, “It’s no good, Jiacai killed someone!”
When Jiacai saw this, she didn't know that all of this was designed by the respectable person. She brought down the queen, and she couldn't tolerate her groveling self now.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and turned back to the bedroom just now.
The honored person waited for Lissythia to come back, saw that her face was still white, and smiled slightly: "What, are you scared?"
Lian Qiao looked at the respectable person wearing long armor and fiddling with pearls and jade. How dare she tell the truth, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't scare you. But your mother, I have already done everything you told me to do. Now People in the Sixth Palace probably know that Jiacai went crazy and killed his own Palace."
"That's good, tidy up, and I should go pay my respects to the Empress Dowager." When the nobleman thought of the Empress Dowager, he felt resentment in his heart. She was old and claimed to no longer care about the affairs of the palace. Why do you have to come out to help this talented person?She wanted to help the talented person to the top, but she didn't like it. Let's see how a talented person who kills people can still help him to the top.
Gui Zhi heard these words from one side, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes silently.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Peace Palace, even if she didn't come, it would already be a headache for the Empress Dowager.
The queen mother looked at Mrs. Dingnanhou who came to cry early in the morning, and she also had a headache, and she couldn't drive it away, so she could only comfort her: "Dingnanhou is messing around a bit, but as the wife of the wife, you have to give some of your money. Come on, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so why bother you to cry and lose your dignity."
Mrs. Dingnanhou wiped away her tears, and said sadly: "Queen Mother, I don't want to do that either, but I heard that Aunt Hexiang can breed Gu!"
The Empress Dowager was sleepy at first, but when she heard the words, she immediately became agitated, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at her and asked seriously: "What did you say?"
"Chenqie..." Mrs. Dingnan Hou covered her mouth as if she felt that she had said something wrong.
Seeing this, the queen mother frowned and said: "It's this time, and you still want to hide it from Aijia? Dare to raise Gu, it's a capital offense!"
"But Master Hou didn't know..."
"Don't worry, the Ai family is not a fool. If he has nothing to do with Dingnan Hou, he will naturally not embarrass him." The Queen Mother looked at her and said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Dingnanhou remembered what Mo Xue said, that Xu Chengqing took Hexiang away as a temporary measure, and when Dingnanhou came back, he would only protect her more carefully. It would be impossible to kill Hexiang at that time, and according to yesterday's Judging from the situation at night, he might be killed by He Xiang.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dingnanhou was also heartbroken, looked at the Queen Mother and said: "The concubine heard it with her own ears. When Hexiang was taken away by Mr. Xu last night, she quietly asked the servants to take care of the children raised in her room. The courtiers and concubines had nothing to do with those Gu worms, so they came to tell the Queen Mother. The Hou Ye is so obsessed with her, I'm afraid she was also bewitched by her."
After the Queen Mother heard this, her whole face darkened, and she immediately asked someone to report to the emperor, but in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Master Zhang who hurried over also told about the Gu worm crawling out of Marquis Dingnan's body. Speak to the emperor.
The nobleman didn't know these things, he sat on the sedan chair and walked forward slowly, but when he was approaching the Compassion Ning Palace, someone suddenly stopped the sedan chair to pay his respects.
The nobleman looked at the palace man blocking the way indifferently, and said, "Which palace are you from?"
"The maidservant belongs to Xin Zheku. Today, Xin Zhe asked the maid who had stolen from the empress, and found the silk handkerchief that the empress lost." After finishing speaking, he raised his hands and presented the silk handkerchief.
The honorable man frowned: "Sipa and other things, if you lose them, you don't want them. If you like them, you will be rewarded."
Hearing this, the palace maid kept her hands together and said, "Your Majesty, look at this veil, the slave looks very clean."
Hearing this, the honorable man looked at the veil, and it was indeed clean. It didn't look like it was found by Xin Zheku, it was clearly newly embroidered.
But she became suspicious, looked at the court lady, and asked Guizhi on the side to bring the handkerchief.
Guizhi glanced at the handkerchief, saw the words inside, and probably guessed something in his heart.
When the handkerchief was handed over, he carefully looked at the expression of the respectable person, and found that she first showed surprise on her face, and then showed a relaxed smile. She thought something was wrong in her heart, and hurriedly moaned while clutching her stomach.
The honorable man glanced at her: "What's wrong?"
"Slave has a stomachache..."
The honored man frowned in disgust: "Go down, you don't have to come to serve this morning."
"Yes." Hearing this, Gui Zhi hurriedly bowed and retreated.
As soon as she left, Lian Qiao rolled her eyes, looked at the back of her leaving straight away, and said in a low voice: "Sister Gui Zhi has always been the most cautious, never greedy for food, why would such a thing like a stomachache appear suddenly? Son?"
Thinking about the words on the silk handkerchief just now, the respected person raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Lianqiao: "Go and stare at her."
Lian Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, knowing that she was expected to climb to the first position next to the respected person, she hurriedly smiled and saluted, then turned her head and followed.
Only then did the distinguished man look at the maid of Xin Zheku, and threw the veil back to her: "This veil is a reward for you." After finishing speaking, he let the sedan chair go directly to the Palace of Compassion.If what is said on the handkerchief is true, Jiacai will undoubtedly die this time!
The maid of Xinzheku bowed and waited for the honored person to leave, then she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the silk handkerchief that fell on the ground, smiled slightly at her leaving back, turned her head and returned to her life.It's also Jiacairen's fault, the prince used to protect her and take care of her, but now she wants to bite the most powerful prince back when she gains power, she is really self-inflicted.
(End of this chapter)
The torrential rain came suddenly, and people on the street went to the sides to take shelter, but it was inevitable that they were still drenched in the rain.
In the dark cell, because the yamen guards outside suddenly came in, a cool breeze was brought in, and the cell became even more humid.
In the corner of the cell, Lin Jinhua was sitting by the haystack, looking at the only palm-sized window in the cell, the rain drifted in along the window, wetting the ashes on the wall, and the little bugs quickly burrowed into the base of the wall go.
"It's true, it rained so hard suddenly that we couldn't even do what our lord told us to do." Someone outside muttered, pulled the stool away and sat outside.
Lin Jinhua also pricked up her ears and listened quietly.
"That's right, I don't know what happened to Dingnanhou's Mansion, so many maids died suddenly." Another servant shook his head, with a bit of mockery: "I heard from the coroner who went to the autopsy that those women His lower body was smashed, and I don't know which flower-picking maniac has done it so ruthlessly."
"Two of them died in one night. You should say that the flower picker is in good health."
Some people made fun of it, and the others laughed too. They picked up the wine bowls, touched them, and started working.
Not long after, someone came outside again, brought a bag of sauced beef wrapped in lotus leaves, looked at them and said with a smile: "Brothers, this is a reward from the Marquis of Dingnan when I go to the Marquis's mansion today for business. , let's break up."
"It's just in time, I'm worried that I don't have any food to go with the wine." The few people smelled the strong aroma of meat from the lotus leaf, and they were so greedy that they quickly drank the meat and the wine. However, after eating and drinking enough, he hiccupped and felt sleepy, and fell asleep on the table after a while.
When Lin Jinhua heard the voices outside coming to an abrupt end, she quickly became vigilant, turned her head to look where she was looking, but saw a yamen servant stand up with a clear face, snorted softly, touched the key from another yamen servant's waist, and took it off again. He looked at Lin Jinhua's cell and walked over.
Lin Jinhua quickly leaned against the wall and pretended to fall asleep. When the yamen servant came and saw that she had fallen asleep, he smiled and said, "It's a pity, such a beauty..." After speaking, he opened the cell door, turned around and walked out quickly go.
Hearing the sound of footsteps fading away, Lin Jinhua immediately opened her eyes, walked to the cell door and looked out. Just now, all the yamen servants had fallen asleep. She tried to shout, but it was useless.Looking around, I found that the cells on the left and right were also empty, and there was no one at all.
She knew that someone must be coming, so she held all the wax pills brought out today in the palm of her hand, leaned against the corner, and waited for someone from outside to come over, but after a long while, there was still no sound from outside, and after a long time, she saw Gao Tian come from The entrance came in.
"Miss Lin?" He softly called around.
"I'm here." Lin Jinhua waved at him, seeing that it was him who came, she felt a lot more at ease, but the yamen servant just now was definitely not working for him.
When Gao Tian approached, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that she was not injured, Gao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's the prince who wants to see you, but when he came over, he heard someone secretly ordering the yamen servant to kidnap the young lady, so the prince went to lure the person away."
"But if we get through today, there's no guarantee that they won't repeat the same tricks tomorrow. Gao Zhi, I want you to do me a favor." Lin Jinhua thought for a while and said to him.
Looking at her serious expression, Gao Tian suddenly had a bad feeling: "Miss Lin, the prince will not allow you to take risks alone."
"Aren't you here? How can I be considered alone?" Seeing that he guessed it, Lin Jinyu smiled: "It's not too late, go and let the prince bring him back, if you don't cut the grass and roots at once, I'm afraid it will be even worse." trouble."
Seeing her determination, Gao Zhi also felt that it was reasonable. After thinking about it, he nodded: "This subordinate will go now..."
"And... tell the prince, trust me." Lin Jinhua warned, otherwise with Huaiyan's temper, she would never agree.
Seeing this, Gao Zhi nodded and walked out quickly.
The rain was heavier again, accompanied by the rumble of thunder, and the wind blew in from the small window, making the candles flicker.
The green moss on the wall peeled off and made a slight sound when it fell to the ground.
At this time, the person standing at the door of the cell stared at the door darkly, and touched his chin: "Is she alone in there?"
"The other people in the cell were transferred out early in the morning with excuses, and the rest of the idiots are all drunk, and now there is only one Lin Jinhua left in it." The former yamen servant looked at the person in front of him flatteringly, and said cautiously: "You go in Well, the little one will guard here for you, and once someone comes, the little one will notify you immediately."
Marquis Dingnan's eyes were a little greedy, thinking of Lin Jinhua, the impulse in his heart was only three points, but now it turned into ten points.
His eyes dimmed, and he walked towards the prison.
The yamen servant saw him go in, so he told the rest of the guards: "It's good to see...uh..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a figure behind him, covering his mouth tightly and quickly slit his throat.
Seeing this, the others rushed to draw out their knives, but they were kicked back before they could pull out the knives, and when they were about to speak, someone wiped their necks.
Gao Zhi ordered people to drag all these people down and deal with them properly, then looked at the cold-faced people who came towards him, and said in a low voice, "My lord, just trust Miss Lin."
Zhao Huaiyan gritted his teeth tightly, didn't speak, just stared at the cell door like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open in the night, if Dingnanhou really dared to hurt a hair of Hua'er, he would cut him into pieces!
Xu Chengqing didn't sleep that night. After checking with Mo Xue in the middle of the night, he let out a long sigh of relief, got up and walked out from the Dali Temple Mansion, and said to the guards: "Follow me to get someone."
"My lord, it's so late, who should I take?" The guards looked at him sleepily, and then looked at the sky. It was still raining outside. Even though it was May, when the rain fell, it still made people shiver.
Xu Chengqing glanced at him with deep eyes, and then said: "Of course he is someone who is trying to harm my country and society!"
"What?" When the guard heard that it was so serious, he cheered up quickly, woke up the others by the way, made people prepare the carriages and horses, and followed Xu Chengqing out quickly.
The carriage stepped on the muddy water on the ground and headed forward all the way, and the people there had no way of knowing that the danger was approaching so quickly.
In the flower hall brightly lit by candles, Mrs. Dingnanhou looked at the arrogant man in front of her, and her heart ached with anger: "Hexiang, you think that Lord Hou raised you to be a wife, so you are really the mistress of this Hou's mansion." Well, let me tell you, dreaming!"
"Dream?" He Xiang smiled faintly, raised her bare hands lightly, turned around and sat gracefully on the chief seat, straightened her rose-red gauze dress, looked at her charmingly, and said with a smile: "Do you think you How can you compare with me? Appearance, or figure?"
"You are a rough woman from the countryside. You don't know who is behind your back. How dare you threaten me now? Apart from your appearance as a witch, what else is good about you?" Dingnanhou's face was so angry blue.
He Xiang sneered softly, looked at Huang Li who was following Madam Dingnan Hou and had already become an aunt, and said with a smile: "Huang Li, what are you still doing?"
"It's Madam." Huang Li raised her neck and responded crisply.
Mrs. Dingnan Hou turned to look at her in surprise: "Huang Li, when did you get along with her?"
Huang Li covered her lips and smiled lightly: "Ma'am, why do you have to speak so harshly? I'm just a man who understands current affairs and is a hero." After speaking, she clapped her hands: "Bring me the things."
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman came in from outside holding several volumes of sexually explicit pamphlets.
When Mrs. Hou saw it, her complexion became darker, she raised her hand and slapped Huang Li severely: "Baby maid, what are you doing, are you trying to humiliate my wife? In this Dingnanhou mansion, you don't have the right to speak!"
Huang Li covered her mouth and gritted her teeth, turned her head and knelt on the ground and said to He Xiang: "Second madam, the eldest madam used such methods to confuse Lord Hou and emptied him. How can such a promiscuous person be the wife of the wife , Second Madam, please help Lord Hou!"
"A mere wife, who has the right to dispose of my wife!" Mrs. Dingnanhou glared with round eyes, but when she remembered that Dingnanhou's thoughts were all on Hexiang, she didn't pay any attention to herself, and felt aggrieved, and became popular again. Eye.
He Xiang smiled gracefully, looked at the furious Mrs. Dingnanhou, and said: "In that case, then I will wrong the lady to sleep in the firewood room for a day, and let the Marquis make a decision in the morning."
"you dare……"
"Why, didn't you hear it?" He Xiang lightly glanced at the women on one side.
The women are ready to move, after all, everyone knows who is favored between He Xiang and the now childless Mrs. Hou, and what's even more outrageous is that Master Hou has already responded to Aunt He Xiang's request.
After thinking about it, a woman stepped forward and said, "Madam, why don't you..."
"Shut up!" Seeing how daring the servants were, the people from Dingnanhou's Mansion hurried forward to pull Hexiang's hair while holding their skirts, but Huang Li stepped forward and grabbed her hair without waiting. She opened her mouth and slapped her face twice.
She was completely confused, and immediately came the humiliated fury: "You will all turn against me!" Mrs. Hou cursed and was about to pounce on her, but Huang Li kicked her down hard in the lower abdomen, kicking her. Then he kicked Mrs. Dingnanhou, who had not recovered from the miscarriage, to the ground.
When someone fell down, she was also confused, and hurriedly knelt down with Hexiang and said with a pale face: "Second madam, I didn't do it on purpose."
"Aren't you going to send Da Furen to the firewood room?" He Xiang only smiled faintly.
Seeing this, the people below wanted to drag Mrs. Hou down without saying a word.
While Mrs. Hou was struggling, someone suddenly came running outside. Seeing this scene, she was startled, opened her mouth, and forgot to say anything.
He Xiang glanced at her and said coldly, "What's the matter?"
The mother-in-law hurriedly came back to her senses, and looked at Mrs. Hou embarrassingly, and said: "Master Xu is here and said he wants to see Mrs. Hou."
"Which Master Xu?"
"It's Mr. Xu Chengqing who was just promoted to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." The woman said anxiously.
Madam Dingnanhou's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly!"
"Yes..." The old woman hesitated for a moment, but looked towards He Xiang. After thinking about it, He Xiang thought that nothing would happen, so she raised her hand: "Go and invite the person in." Looking at Mrs. Hou's servants, the servants were so frightened that they immediately dragged Mrs. Hou away.
Hexiang asked people to brew the newly bought scented tea and drank it slowly. After a while, they heard footsteps outside the yard. Before they raised their heads, Huang Li said timidly: "Second Madam, Mr. Xu seems to have brought a lot of people here. , and aggressively."
"This is Dingnanhou's Mansion, can he still make mistakes?" He Xiang has a well-thought-out plan and is not afraid of Xu Chengqing.
Xu Chengqing saw her from a long distance, recalling what Lin Jinhua said when he was taken away that day, he snorted coldly in his heart, before entering the room, he said coldly: "How dare you murder Dingnanhou, how dare you collude with the people in the palace to frame her?" Zhongliang, he deserves to be punished for his crime!"
He Xiang didn't even put down the teacup in his hand, when he heard this, his hands stiffened, and the smile on his face faded, he just looked up at him: "What is Master Xu talking about, I didn't even say a word Understood."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you go to the government with me, you will understand everything. Come here, and take her away with me!" Xu Chengqing ordered imposingly.
When the attendants heard this, they didn't dare to hesitate. After all, although Xu Chengqing was a new official, his father was a sacrificial wine, and his younger sister was the newly-appointed Princess Yongle.
The attendants surrounded him, but the people from the Hou Mansion also surrounded him, their swords drawn.
Xu Chengqing glanced at them coldly, and said coldly: "Why, someone is going to kill you, Lord Hou, and you still want to defend the murderer?"
Those people looked at each other and were also embarrassed.
When Hexiang saw it, she only smiled slightly, her winking eyes rolled around, she stared at him and said lazily, "Master Xu, what you said is wrong, even if you want to point me out, you have to show evidence. Isn't it child's play to arrest me, a woman from a good family, and go to prison without evidence? By the way, your cousin Lin Jinyu was sent to prison for harming my relatives. You came here to avenge your own personal revenge?"
Xu Chengqing saw that she was plausible, and didn't panic at all, and called softly: "Come here, present the evidence."
After saying that, looking at Hexiang's unchanged expression, the coldness on his face became even worse.She thinks she has hidden all the evidence, but is that really the case, she is a rotten egg with a lot of seams.
After finishing speaking, Mo Xue had already walked in from the outside, brought a person with her, and pulled out a few letters from her sleeve.
He Xiang looked at the person, her eyebrows twitched slightly, she just looked at him coldly and said, "Who are you?"
The man froze for a moment, then quickly raised his head to look at her: "Xiang'er, you don't know your mother anymore?"
"Mother?" He Xiang snorted softly, "I have neither father nor mother..."
"Although your biological parents are dead, I raised you. If it weren't for me, you would have been eaten by wild dogs! Now you say you don't know me, you ungrateful bastard!" The woman said directly He changed his face and cursed harshly.
He Xiang looked at the woman on the ground with cold eyes.When Lin Jinhua doubted Hexiang's identity, she immediately asked Mo Yue to investigate. Mo Yue was also quick to find out that Hexiang had such an adoptive mother.
Hexiang's complexion changed slightly, seeing her adoptive mother's mean and bitter look, she finally couldn't help breaking the superficial calm, and said angrily: "How much kindness have you done to me? You either beat me or scolded me since I was a child..." After she finished cursing, After my heart calmed down a bit, I quickly calmed down and said: "You don't need to worry about things here, I will do what I have to do, you just have to remember not to say what you shouldn't say."
"Aren't you talking about your relationship with the Ninth Prince? Aren't you just an outer room he kept outside? No, maybe the outer room is not even counted. You are just one of his playthings. When you like it, you will love me. If you don't like it I will throw you to other men to play with..."
"Shut up!" He Xiang finally couldn't help but slammed the tea cup at her adoptive mother, but was kicked away by Mo Xue.
The tea splashed on the adoptive mother's face, and it turned red in an instant. Without saying a word, she turned her head and said to Xu Chengqing: "Master Xu, you should arrest her quickly. She killed people, and I saw it with my own eyes."
"You—!" He Xiang gritted his teeth, quickly got up and walked to her and said coldly, "I'll give you ten taels of silver every month, why, don't you want it?"
The adoptive mother slapped her away, and snorted coldly: "Do you think you are sending a beggar? My son is going to marry a wife, and I asked you to take 1 taels and you have been slow to take it. Do you think I care about your ten taels?" silver?"
Xu Chengqing glanced at the guards beside him: "Someone has already testified, why don't you take him away?"
"I am the second wife of the Hou Mansion. If you want to take me away, you have to wait for the Hou Ye to come back!" He Xiang straightened up and looked at Xu Chengqing, and sneered, "It's possible that Mr. Xu is going to set the blame on the first day he takes office. Is it a trick to beat him?"
"To save Lord Hou, there is no delay." Xu Chengqing also responded coldly. As soon as he raised his hand, the surrounding guards quickly surrounded him, but the guards of Dingnanhou's mansion also surrounded him.
Seeing this, Hexiang smiled lightly, and raised his hand to touch Xu Chengqing's chin, but heard a sentence from outside: "Who dares to obstruct Mr. Xu's work, is it Hexiang's accomplice, or does he also want to kill the prince?"
As soon as these words came out, the attendants of the Hou Mansion immediately hesitated. He Xiang looked out of the door, and saw that Mrs. Dingnan Hou who had just been dragged down came here again, and the woman she didn't know was following her. .
Mo Yue helped Mrs. Dingnanhou all the way to the door, and then exchanged a glance with Mo Xue, and backed away.
Xu Chengqing greeted Mrs. Hou respectfully, and then said: "Mrs. Hou, this matter is really abrupt, but I have not seen you, Madam, so I can only do things first."
"Master Xu, you don't have to be polite, anyone who dares to harm Lord Hou will be against the entire Hou Mansion!" After finishing speaking, he coldly stared at the servants around him: "If you haven't heard my wife's words, don't back down!"
He Xiang gritted his teeth, Huang Li hurried over and pulled He Xiang, "Second Madam, what should I do?"
Hexiang ignored her, just looked at Xu Chengqing, and sneered: "Okay, I'll go with you, I want to see what else is there besides this personal ID card!" Focusing on Mrs. Nanhou, she walked straight away.
Xu Chengqing looked at Mo Xue, Mo Xue nodded, did not follow him, but waited for him to leave, then looked at Mrs. Dingnanhou and said seriously: "Mrs. Hou, I want to ask you something."
"Is it related to Hexiang?"
"Yes." Mo Xue nodded.
Madam Hou laughed: "Okay, I'll help you!"
When Mo Xue finished talking, her eyes lit up slightly, she looked at her and said, "You don't worry, go and do things for Master Xu, and Madam Ben will take care of the rest." Since He Xiang provoked the government, she naturally I don't mind using the government's hand to make Hexiang suffer a terrible death!
When Mo Xue heard the words, the stone in her heart dropped, she saluted, and left in a hurry.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Hou took a look at Huang Li whose eyeballs were still spinning around, and said coldly: "I thought you were smart and cultivateable, but I didn't expect you to be beaten by mud because you can't support the wall." ..."
"Ma'am, this concubine knows I was wrong..."
"Knowing your mistakes is useful, so what do you need to punish? Someone, pull her down for me, cut off the claws, beat another fifty boards, and throw them into the kiln." The man from Dingnanhou's mansion ordered coldly.
Everyone trembled when they heard this, and rushed forward to drag Huang Li away.
As soon as Huang Oriole left, Mrs. Hou saw that the sky had begun to turn pale, so she didn't go to sleep, so she asked people to prepare her clothes and waited for the next day to enter the palace, but she didn't know that at this moment, there was a scene in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. A good show.
Lin Jinhua looked at Marquis Dingnan who was standing at the door of the cell and looked at him with burning eyes, and said, "Master Hou, you have been controlled by Gu insects for so long, don't you know?"
"Lin Jinhua, you have exhausted Benhou's patience. Now you can't change Benhou's mind even if you say you have a good tongue. I want you now!" After finishing speaking, he kicked Kicking open the locked cell door, he rushed straight at Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua's wax pills had been crushed for a long time, and when he came, she raised her hand and threw the powder all over his face.
Marquis Dingnan didn't make any preparations, and inhaled a large amount of medicinal powder, only to feel dizzy.
He shook his head violently and stared at Lin Jinhua in front of him. Her small body looked very soft, and her slightly pursed red lips were extremely alluring.
"Little goblin, you still seduced Ben Hou, and Ben Hou will eat you right now..." After finishing speaking, she gave a lewd smile, raised her hand and rushed towards her.
However, he had inhaled a large amount of drugs, and his movements were no longer agile enough, so Lin Jinhua dodged him easily.
No one was caught, Ding Nanhou paused for a moment, then laughed again: "Lin Jinhua, it's just you and me here, let's see where you and I are going..."
Where are you going?The corners of Lin Jinhua's mouth curled up, of course he was running to Jing Zhaoyin's house.
After thinking about it, he opened the cell door and went out.
Marquis Dingnan saw the beauty on his lips and ran away like this, how could he be reconciled, and it seemed that Lin Jinzheng's medicine had added a love potion, which made him feel an evil fire all over him, wishing he could knock her down immediately.
Lin Jinhua ran forward quickly, and found that Dingnanhou was still chasing him, and felt emotional in his heart. Fortunately, the people outside were all taken care of by Huaiyan, otherwise, with Dingnanhou's strong physical fitness, the medicine would really be confusing. he.
While thinking about it, he looked at the person chasing behind him, and ran out of the cell without saying a word.
After leaving the cell door, she could obviously feel a scorching gaze on her body, is Huai Yan watching from around here?
She looked around, and because she was slow for a moment, Ding Nanhou grabbed her arm.
Seeing this, Zhao Huaiyan in the dark was so angry that his eyes sparkled.Marquis Dingnan dared to touch her!How dare he grab her with his dirty hands!
Gao Tian looked at the prince who was about to run away, and hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't worry, prince, we can't ruin Miss Lin's plan."
Zhao Huaiyan gritted her teeth and stared at the situation below. When she saw Marquis Dingnan's eyes full of desire, she couldn't wait to go down and dig!
Lin Jinhua quickly pulled out the hairpin on his head and stabbed it hard into his arm. Seeing that he let go of the pain, she didn't care much, and ran forward with her skirt lifted.
The front door separating the prison cell and the government office has been opened, presumably the people of Dingnanhou secretly bribed the guards to open it on purpose.
Lin Jinhua walked through this door, saw that Dingnanhou was still chasing after him, and his consciousness seemed to be under control, so he hurried through the courtroom and went to the yard on the other side. Jing Zhaoyin usually worked at night and slept. over here.
When she got to the door, she started calling for help and knocking on the door suddenly. Even if the people who were hiding here were alarmed by Hou Dingnan, it was time to wake up Jing Zhaoyin.
Sure enough, Master Jing Zhaoyin and Zhang immediately woke up from his sleep when he heard the voice outside, picked up the cloak without saying a word, woke up the guarding yamen servants, and quickly let people open the door.
Lin Jinhua looked at Dingnanhou who was approaching step by step, and heard the approaching footsteps in the yard behind, she didn't dodge any more, let Dingnanhou grab her by the throat and hold her tightly one side of the wall.
As soon as the courtyard door was opened, the sky was slightly brighter. The yamen servant raised the lantern in his hand, easily saw the person in front of him, and shouted in fright: "My lord, something serious has happened!"
Mr. Zhang ran out quickly, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his heart jumped into his throat, and he hurriedly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and pull people away!"
After finishing speaking, the yamen servants stepped forward to pull the man away, but Dingnanhou's expression became more and more strange, and he kept making a low growl like a beast, his eyes were bloodshot: "Woman, give me woman……"
He kept yelling, and Master Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Jinhua, who was pale with fright.Seeing her trembling while clutching the blood-stained hairpin, she asked anxiously, "Miss Lin, what's going on?"
"I don't know..." Lin Jinhua shook her head at him with tears in her eyes: "I was asleep, but in the middle of the night I heard the sound of the cell door being opened, and then I saw Lord Hou come in, talking The reason why I was put in jail is because of..." Lin Jinhua didn't continue, Master Zhang knew what he was going to say without listening.
With a cold face, he turned his head to look at Hou Dingnan coldly and said: "Master Hou, this matter..."
After finishing speaking, he found that Marquis Dingnan was unconscious. He glanced at Lin Jinhua in surprise and said, "What's going on?"
"I don't know either. He was like this when he saw Master Hou." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, he said in a trembling voice, "I'm a doctor, why don't I take a look for him first?"
"This..." Mr. Zhang knew that Lin Jinhua had been wronged, but he couldn't invite a doctor in time at this moment, so he nodded, "Miss Lin was wronged."
Lin Jinhua bit her lip slightly, watching the servants hold down the crazy Marquis Dingnan, and then stepped forward to hold his pulse, and the jade butterfly on the other hand just pretended to be inadvertently pressed to him On the wound that was scratched on the arm just now.
After keeping her pulse for a long time, Mr. Zhang saw that she was silent, so he hurriedly asked, "Miss Lin, what's the matter?"
Lin Jinhua looked up at him and said, "My lord, have you heard that women have been killed in the Hou Mansion these days?"
Master Zhang frowned: "Do you think it has something to do with Marquis Dingnan?"
"Minnv once saw an introduction about Gu insects in southern borders in an ancient book. One of them, called Red Lotus Gu, is specially sacrificed with the blood of young girls. After growing up, it will gradually control the mind of the host until the host Go crazy." Lin Jinhua said in a deep voice, she felt that something was wrong with Marquis Dingnan before, but she never thought about the Gu worms, after all, the Gu worms were made by Zhao Kan. I thought that after the emperor was furious, no one would dare to use this as a cover anymore, but I never thought that there would still be, and they would still use such powerful officials as Marquis Dingnan.
After the words fell, a yamen servant suddenly let out a soft cry, and raised his finger to Dingnanhou's mouth: "What kind of thing crawled out..."
Lin Jinhua took a closer look and found that the blood-red wriggling worms were the red lotus Gu mentioned in the book.
"My lord..." Lin Jinhua hurriedly took a step back, and Master Zhang immediately ordered: "Catch this bug!"
After finishing speaking, someone immediately pulled out the saber and picked out the bug, and chopped it into pieces three or two times. Marquis Dingnan also stopped his madness, stared at his eyes and took a deep breath before passing out.
When Mr. Zhang heard Lin Jinzheng talk about the Gu worm, he was on high alert. When he saw the Gu worm, his face sank completely, and he said to her: "This matter is all due to my negligence. It allows people to come in and out at will, and it almost hurt you. Don't worry, all the people who take care of you will be replaced by officials, and others will be severely punished. But Miss Lin, I have to enter the palace now."
"Minister girl understands, Master Zhang please." Lin Jinhua said obediently with downcast eyes.
Master Zhang took a look at her and knew that she was not the person that Mrs. Yan said was killing innocent people indiscriminately in order to fight for a piece of land in Zhuangzi. He only nodded to her and then left quickly.
After they left, Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking up and looking not far away, a black figure stood gently on the top of the wall. The sun slowly rose from the sky after the rain, as if casting a layer of golden light on him. His long black hair was casually scattered behind him. With the breeze blowing slightly, it seems that it is about to disappear at this moment.
Lin Jinhua knew that he would always be there, and she felt at ease, so she just smiled sweetly at him, but she was afraid that the guards on the side would find out, so she immediately turned her head and left for the cell.
Seeing her clever appearance, Zhao Huaiyan sighed helplessly.
Gao Zhi was rather happy: "Miss Lin really has a way."
"You stay here to guard her, and let this king find out that another man touched her..."
"Don't worry, my lord, if another man touches it, my subordinates will definitely chop off his hand." Gao Ting promised firmly.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, then looked in Lin Jinhua's direction for a long time before turning around and leaving.
in the palace.
Early in the morning, the silence has been broken.
After applying the medicine in the morning, Jiacai couldn't help feeling strange when he saw that no one came to wait for him, so he got up and opened the door to go out, but when he walked into the yard, he found that there was no one from the palace. up.
"Little Lizi." She called to her confidant eunuch, but after a while, there was no movement around, only a wild cat jumped onto the side of the dry well and meowed.
Jiacai frowned slightly, and stepped towards the dry well. When he got to the dry well, he could smell a strong smell of blood and stench inside.
Her complexion turned pale, and she took two steps back, but she still couldn't help vomiting with nausea.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound from the door, and the green embroidered shoes unique to the palace maid stepped in.
Jiacai raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was the Forsythia beside Jinggui.
"Are you responsible for these people?" Jiacai asked, holding back his nausea.
Lianqiao just looked at her as if she didn't understand: "What are you talking about? The nobleman saw that you hadn't gone to take care of him after three days, so he specially asked the servant to come and see if you are sick." After Lianqiao finished speaking, she found that she was vomiting. , Covering his lips and laughing: "What's wrong with the talented man? Why is he still vomiting? Could it be that the old clam wants to grow pearls? But the emperor has never favored you. Could it be that you and the six unclean eunuchs in the palace..."
"Shut up!" She finally couldn't help yelling.
Lianqiao was not afraid of her at all, she only glanced at her coldly, and said: "There are many strange things in the palace, there are concubines who have affairs with eunuchs, masters who hang out with slaves, and masters who cruelly killed everyone around them." Damn, this servant is just reminding you..." After Lianqiao finished speaking, she suddenly covered her nose and said, "Oh, why is it so stinky." After finishing speaking, she looked towards the well, just as Jiacai was about to yell, "Don't ’, Lianqiao turned pale with fright, glanced at Jiacai, turned her head and ran outside, shouting as she ran, “It’s no good, Jiacai killed someone!”
When Jiacai saw this, she didn't know that all of this was designed by the respectable person. She brought down the queen, and she couldn't tolerate her groveling self now.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and turned back to the bedroom just now.
The honored person waited for Lissythia to come back, saw that her face was still white, and smiled slightly: "What, are you scared?"
Lian Qiao looked at the respectable person wearing long armor and fiddling with pearls and jade. How dare she tell the truth, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, I didn't scare you. But your mother, I have already done everything you told me to do. Now People in the Sixth Palace probably know that Jiacai went crazy and killed his own Palace."
"That's good, tidy up, and I should go pay my respects to the Empress Dowager." When the nobleman thought of the Empress Dowager, he felt resentment in his heart. She was old and claimed to no longer care about the affairs of the palace. Why do you have to come out to help this talented person?She wanted to help the talented person to the top, but she didn't like it. Let's see how a talented person who kills people can still help him to the top.
Gui Zhi heard these words from one side, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes silently.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Peace Palace, even if she didn't come, it would already be a headache for the Empress Dowager.
The queen mother looked at Mrs. Dingnanhou who came to cry early in the morning, and she also had a headache, and she couldn't drive it away, so she could only comfort her: "Dingnanhou is messing around a bit, but as the wife of the wife, you have to give some of your money. Come on, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, so why bother you to cry and lose your dignity."
Mrs. Dingnanhou wiped away her tears, and said sadly: "Queen Mother, I don't want to do that either, but I heard that Aunt Hexiang can breed Gu!"
The Empress Dowager was sleepy at first, but when she heard the words, she immediately became agitated, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at her and asked seriously: "What did you say?"
"Chenqie..." Mrs. Dingnan Hou covered her mouth as if she felt that she had said something wrong.
Seeing this, the queen mother frowned and said: "It's this time, and you still want to hide it from Aijia? Dare to raise Gu, it's a capital offense!"
"But Master Hou didn't know..."
"Don't worry, the Ai family is not a fool. If he has nothing to do with Dingnan Hou, he will naturally not embarrass him." The Queen Mother looked at her and said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Dingnanhou remembered what Mo Xue said, that Xu Chengqing took Hexiang away as a temporary measure, and when Dingnanhou came back, he would only protect her more carefully. It would be impossible to kill Hexiang at that time, and according to yesterday's Judging from the situation at night, he might be killed by He Xiang.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dingnanhou was also heartbroken, looked at the Queen Mother and said: "The concubine heard it with her own ears. When Hexiang was taken away by Mr. Xu last night, she quietly asked the servants to take care of the children raised in her room. The courtiers and concubines had nothing to do with those Gu worms, so they came to tell the Queen Mother. The Hou Ye is so obsessed with her, I'm afraid she was also bewitched by her."
After the Queen Mother heard this, her whole face darkened, and she immediately asked someone to report to the emperor, but in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Master Zhang who hurried over also told about the Gu worm crawling out of Marquis Dingnan's body. Speak to the emperor.
The nobleman didn't know these things, he sat on the sedan chair and walked forward slowly, but when he was approaching the Compassion Ning Palace, someone suddenly stopped the sedan chair to pay his respects.
The nobleman looked at the palace man blocking the way indifferently, and said, "Which palace are you from?"
"The maidservant belongs to Xin Zheku. Today, Xin Zhe asked the maid who had stolen from the empress, and found the silk handkerchief that the empress lost." After finishing speaking, he raised his hands and presented the silk handkerchief.
The honorable man frowned: "Sipa and other things, if you lose them, you don't want them. If you like them, you will be rewarded."
Hearing this, the palace maid kept her hands together and said, "Your Majesty, look at this veil, the slave looks very clean."
Hearing this, the honorable man looked at the veil, and it was indeed clean. It didn't look like it was found by Xin Zheku, it was clearly newly embroidered.
But she became suspicious, looked at the court lady, and asked Guizhi on the side to bring the handkerchief.
Guizhi glanced at the handkerchief, saw the words inside, and probably guessed something in his heart.
When the handkerchief was handed over, he carefully looked at the expression of the respectable person, and found that she first showed surprise on her face, and then showed a relaxed smile. She thought something was wrong in her heart, and hurriedly moaned while clutching her stomach.
The honorable man glanced at her: "What's wrong?"
"Slave has a stomachache..."
The honored man frowned in disgust: "Go down, you don't have to come to serve this morning."
"Yes." Hearing this, Gui Zhi hurriedly bowed and retreated.
As soon as she left, Lian Qiao rolled her eyes, looked at the back of her leaving straight away, and said in a low voice: "Sister Gui Zhi has always been the most cautious, never greedy for food, why would such a thing like a stomachache appear suddenly? Son?"
Thinking about the words on the silk handkerchief just now, the respected person raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Lianqiao: "Go and stare at her."
Lian Qiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, knowing that she was expected to climb to the first position next to the respected person, she hurriedly smiled and saluted, then turned her head and followed.
Only then did the distinguished man look at the maid of Xin Zheku, and threw the veil back to her: "This veil is a reward for you." After finishing speaking, he let the sedan chair go directly to the Palace of Compassion.If what is said on the handkerchief is true, Jiacai will undoubtedly die this time!
The maid of Xinzheku bowed and waited for the honored person to leave, then she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the silk handkerchief that fell on the ground, smiled slightly at her leaving back, turned her head and returned to her life.It's also Jiacairen's fault, the prince used to protect her and take care of her, but now she wants to bite the most powerful prince back when she gains power, she is really self-inflicted.
