Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 86 You're Unworthy

There was complete silence in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and the palace people felt a little timid looking at the empress dowager who was not looking well.

"Hasn't Master Huijue invited yet?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

Momo ordered the soothing incense herself, and then she came over and said, "I just sent someone to ask for it, I shouldn't have come here so soon."

After finishing speaking, the maid from the outside came in and said politely: "Queen Dowager, I beg you to see me, and said that I have something very important to report."

When the Queen Mother heard the words 'respected person', her expression became colder, and she said: "Do you know what is going on?"

"The slave does not know."

The mother said softly on the side: "Could it be also about Dingnanhou? The maidservant heard that early in the morning, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin Zhang was waiting outside the palace before dawn. It seems that it is also about Dingnanhou."

The queen mother glanced at her, sighed slightly, and said: "Forget it, let her come in."

The maid hurriedly responded.

Not long after, she smelled a strong fragrance of makeup and powder, and the queen mother raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, and said, "Why did you come here so early in the morning?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the concubine came here for the sake of the talented person." The respected man saw the empress dowager's unsuspecting expression, and only sneered in his heart.

"Jiacai..." The queen mother hesitated for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at her: "The Ai family no longer cares about the affairs of the harem, if something happens, you should go back to the emperor."

The nobleman didn't expect that she would shirk it, and said: "Queen Mother, the concubine dare not go to the emperor without authorization. After all, this matter...is too cruel."

The Empress Dowager frowned invisibly, raised her eyes and looked at her deeply, and said, "Then tell me, what is it?"

"Yes." The honorable man remembered the words on the silk handkerchief before, and then he knelt straight down and said, "It's okay to blame the ministers and concubines for discipline, Jiacai actually brutally killed the only three or four remaining palace servants in her palace." , and ordered someone to murder Dingnan Hou..."

The queen mother was stunned when she heard the word Dingnanhou. Why is it Dingnanhou again?
"what happened?"

"It's like this. Early this morning, seeing that Jiacai didn't come to serve him, the concubine sent the maid beside him to look at it. She didn't expect to arrive, and just happened to see Jiacai pushing the body into the dry well. He also said that these maids found out that she had ordered a woman named Hexiang to murder Dingnan Hou. The other concubines had no time to investigate and did not dare to make decisions on their own. They could only report back to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to make up It's gone." The honored man lowered his eyes.

After hearing the words, the Empress Dowager connected the previous and subsequent events perfectly, and Mrs. Dingnanhou said that she discovered that the aunt named Hexiang was raising Gu, and the Jingzhao Mansion discovered the Gu worm in Dingnanhou's body. It became the hand of Jiacai to instigate that Hexiang.

"Queen Mother, what's the matter?" The honorable man saw that the Queen Mother was stunned and did not speak, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

The queen mother glanced at her, exhaled deeply, and said: "Come here, bring Jiacai to see Ai's family immediately!"

Mammy also knew that the matter was serious, so she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly sent someone to go.

At this time, Jiacai was in the side hall, and she already knew that she had fallen into someone else's trap, but she didn't know how big the trap was, because her confidant Xiao Lizi suddenly disappeared, and the other palace people were also killed by the nobleman, what news did she have? I can't get it, and I can't do it.

Just as she was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from outside, she saw that it was Gui Zhi, so she got up.

"A talented person?"

Guizhi called softly.

Jia Cairen responded, walked towards her, opened the bead curtain, saw the anxiety on her face, and said in a deep voice: "This time..."

"Cai Ren was designed by someone, and I'm afraid this time it will be more or less auspicious." Gui Zhi recalled the words on the silk handkerchief, vaguely saw the words Dingnanhou and Gu Chong, and knew that Jia Cairen must be sure this time. I can't survive.

Jiacai gritted his teeth slightly: "Speak clearly."

Gui Zhi went through the matter from the beginning to the end, and then said: "The emperor has not let the empress do not let go because of the Gu worm, you have repeatedly angered the emperor, and at this juncture, isn't it exactly the same situation as the empress? Is it?"

It was because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents and Gu worms that the queen was deprived of her phoenix seal and imprisoned in Kunning Palace forever. What about me, will the emperor let her die because of the Ninth Prince?Jiacai people are not sure.

After thinking about it, he pulled Gui Zhi and said, "You have to do me a favor."

"Slave..."

"Don't you want Lin Jinhua to die? Don't worry, even if I die, I will drag her with me, but you must do me this favor." Jiacai said, holding her tightly.

Guizhi thought for a while, then nodded: "Say it."

"Help me pick someone up outside the palace. When the emperor sees this person, maybe he will forgive me once. As long as he spares me this time, I will never let them go again!" If she dies, she will drag more people to hell, such as Zhao Huaiyan!
Seeing the murderous intent in her usually calm eyes, Guizhi knew that she was driven to a dead end, and said, "Don't worry, I will help you!" After finishing speaking, she turned her head and went out quickly .

But as soon as she walked out of Jiacairen's side hall, she saw that someone was already waiting for her at the entrance of the corridor.

"Sister Guizhi, where are you going in such a hurry? Is your stomach still uncomfortable?" Seeing that she really came to Jiacai, Lianqiao laughed.

Guizhi panicked for a moment, clutching his stomach and saying, "I just happened to pass by Jiacai, so..."

Lianqiao continued to approach with a smile: "Sister Guizhi, do you think I will believe that you are here to pay respects to Jiacai?"

Seeing her approaching, Gui Zhi took two steps back.

Lian Qiao slowly walked up to Gui Zhi, and then she showed a cold expression: "You dare to betray the nobleman, when I tell the nobleman, you will be beaten to death."

"Forsythia, I didn't..."

"No, then why do you explain why you came out here?" Lian Qiao felt that she had got a handle and became more and more arrogant.

Gui Zhi gritted her teeth with a pale face, and slowly retreated back into the side hall. Gui Zhi followed Arrogant and walked in, but before she could speak, a black figure suddenly appeared by the door, holding a rope and tightly strangling her. neck.

She struggled to turn her head to look, and seeing that it was Jiacai, she struggled harder.

Jia Cairen was not as strong as her, and seeing that she was about to break free, Gui Zhi picked up a palm-sized stone from the side, looked at Lian Qiao, who was pale and begging for help, and said coldly: "If you want to blame it, blame you for being troublesome. !" After saying that, the stone hit her hard on the head, Lianqiao stopped struggling immediately, and Jiacai strangled her for a while before letting go.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, when they heard footsteps outside, Gui Zhi glanced quickly, and was so frightened that he immediately turned around and said to Jia Cai, "It's from the Empress Dowager."

Jiacai looked coldly at the forsythia on the ground, and pointed to the dry well not far away: "Throw people into it."

Guizhi nodded, and hurriedly dragged the person away, and when they were dragged away, the queen mother's people also arrived.

Before Jiacai followed the Queen Mother's men, he looked back at Guizhi, who understood and nodded to her.

The waves in the palace were turbulent secretly, and the palace people seemed to be aware of it, and they were cautious when they saw anyone.

At the gate of the palace, no one expected that His Royal Highness King Ning would suddenly appear in the capital.

The eunuch at the door looked at him, hurriedly saluted, and then said with a smile: "Why did His Highness come back suddenly, there is no news from the capital."

Zhao Huaiyan lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at him indifferently: "Go pass it on."

"Wait a minute, my lord, I'm going right away." The eunuch hurriedly turned around and trotted away, Zhao Huaiyan's complexion turned cold.It was impossible to get rid of Jiacai so easily. He knew very well how much Jiacai was worth, and if she really died, she would definitely hold on to him.

Just as he was about to put down the car curtain, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the palace, Gui Zhi.

Guizhi is the person he placed next to the respected person, how could he suddenly appear here?

A servant also recognized it, stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "My lord, did Miss Guizhi come to look for you?"

"No." Regardless of the fact that he never summoned Guizhi, Guizhi also didn't know that she was still in the capital, and she was so cautious that she was going to do something for someone.

Just as he was thinking, a carriage slowly approached not far away, and Gui Zhi quickly went up to meet him.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a girl came out of the carriage, but the moment Zhao Huaiyan saw her face, his sword eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Who is that?"

"It's Xue Wenxin, the daughter of the Xue family." The attendant explained.

"The Xue family..." Zhao Huaiyan's eyes showed a little pain. It turned out that she was really a talented person. What happened to her mother and concubine was really her fault. Otherwise, how could she have raised a woman who was so similar to her mother and concubine.And this person is not the real Xue family at all.

Gui Zhi picked up Xue Wenxin, looked around, only saw a seemingly ordinary carriage parked not far away, didn't pay much attention, and hurriedly led her in.

When entering the palace, the little eunuch smiled and said, "Sister Guizhi, slow down, when you see the nobleman, remember to pay respects to the nobleman on behalf of the slave."

Gui Zhi glanced at him, smiled familiarly: "If there is a chance, I will definitely let the nobleman transfer you to the inner palace to serve." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xue Wenxin and said in a low voice: "Miss Xue, please."

Xue Wenxin knew his purpose of coming to the palace, nodded, and followed her forward.

Zhao Huaiyan watched the people leave before walking out of the carriage.He didn't understand that he had been sincere to Jiacai and his nine younger brothers for so many years, so why did they have to betray him.

Not long after, the eunuch inside came out and looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a smile: "My lord, the emperor invites you to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"En." Zhao Huaiyan responded lightly, and walked away.

Looking at the tall prince, the eunuch always felt that he had a murderous look all over him, and it was clearly a sunny day, which made him shiver.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager looked at the talented people in front of her and hated iron for being weak. She asked in a deep voice, "Did you really kill those people? You ordered the Hexiang outside the palace?"

"The concubine doesn't understand..."

"How long are you going to lie to the Empress Dowager? Jiacai, my court lady heard it with her own ears."

"Where is the palace maid that the empress said?" Jia Cairen turned to look at her.

Seeing that she was playing this kind of word game, the respectable person couldn't help but chuckled: "Mr. Jiacai, is this delaying time? In my opinion, you are not such a sloppy person." After speaking, someone came in from outside. She whispered something in her ear.

After the respectable person listened, he said to the Queen Mother: "Report to the Queen Mother, the concubine's maid just came to report that the court lady Lianqiao who found out that Jiacai had a problem in the morning had been killed in Jiacai's palace."

The Empress Dowager took a serious look at Jia Cairen, only to be troubled by this incident, she raised her hand and called for someone to come: "How is the emperor?"

"I heard that the prince has returned to the palace." Nanny said.

Jiacai and Jinggui held hands tightly at the same time, why did Zhao Huaiyan suddenly return to the palace?The respected person was even more surprised. Could it be that Zhao Huaiyan did not leave the capital at all as Kan'er said before, but has always been there?
The Queen Mother heard the words, took a deep look at the two of them, and said: "In that case, you all go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Queen..." Jiacai became flustered when he heard this, did the queen really not plan to save her at all?
"If you haven't done it, the Ai family believes that the emperor will return your innocence. Come here, and send the distinguished and talented person to the Hall of Mental Cultivation." After finishing speaking, he rubbed the center of his brows tiredly, and closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Soon a court lady came over, and the talented person wanted to beg again, but the honorable man grabbed his wrist and sneered, "Why, the talented person dare not go to see the emperor? Is there something wrong in your heart?"

Jiacai hated her in his heart, killing intent flashed in his eyes, seeing that the queen mother really didn't intend to take care of her anymore, he just shook off her hand and turned to leave.The honored person also followed.

As soon as the person left, the mother on the side looked at the closed-eyed Queen Mother and said worriedly: "Are you not going to take care of Jiacai?"

"I used to think she was smart and obedient, but how can she be helped if she can be so ruthless? Moreover, this matter has already involved the affairs of the imperial court. This is the emperor's taboo, and the Ai family can't touch it, especially now. King Ning is back too..." Thinking of King Ning, the Empress Dowager's face darkened a bit, she waved her hands and stopped talking.

Mammy didn't dare to ask any more, she called someone to wait on her carefully, then turned her head and looked outside in the direction where the respected and talented people left, and didn't say any more.

In front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xu Chengqing was already waiting, and when he saw Zhao Huaiyan coming, he was very surprised: "My lord..."

Seeing him, Zhao Huaiyan said, "Master Xu is here, but what did you find?"

Xu Chengqing cupped his hands, knowing in his heart that he must have understood the cause and effect, and said: "She has a tight mouth and can't ask anything."

"It doesn't matter, soldiers never tire of deceit." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly, took something from his bosom for him, and then stepped in.

Xu Chengqing was startled, suddenly understood what he said, blinked to look at his leaving back, and couldn't help admiring him.

When Zhao Huaiyan entered the hall, he saw Mr. Zhang bowed and standing on one side with a serious face. He went up to greet the emperor, and said: "My son returned to Beijing without permission, and he didn't report to the emperor. Please punish him."

Seeing him, the emperor felt a little better, and said: "The road is dangerous, you should not tell. But it's just right, I have something to interrogate, you just listen."

"Yes." Zhao Huaiyan stepped aside.

Master Zhang then said: "Your Majesty, how do you think this matter will be handled?"

"Call Xu Chengqing to come in." The emperor coldly put aside the paper that Xu Chengqing presented.

Eunuch An quickly led Xu Chengqing in. As soon as Xu Chengqing entered the hall, he knelt down to greet him.

The emperor glanced at him with complicated eyes, and said: "Xu Aiqing get up and answer."

Xu Chengqing hurriedly saluted and stood up, and said again what happened last night, "I am going to arrest someone only based on the report of Mrs. Hexiang's adoptive mother, who said she was guilty of murder. I am worried about her harm." The Marquis of Dingnan, who is the pillar of the country, never thought about going there, so with the help of Mrs. Dingnanhou, he found out the hidden Gu worms in her room, and..." He seemed to hesitate.

Master Zhang was surprised and said: "Last night Dingnan Hou really crawled out of a Gu worm called Red Lotus Gu, it is really evil."

Xu Chengqing was also surprised. He thought Jinhua was just guessing, but he never thought it was true.

After thinking about it, he looked at Zhao Huaiyan on the side, and he became more confident, and said: "Your Majesty, in Hexiang's room, I also found an object from the palace. It must be a token." From the sleeve, he took out something wrapped in silk cloth.

The emperor's hand slowly tapped on the dragon case, until the thing appeared in front of his eyes, his face sank, and he threw all the memorials on the table to the ground.

Everyone knelt down in fright, Zhao Huaiyan stood on one side and looked indifferently at the thing in Zhao Huaiyan's hand, which was a green jadeite in the shape of a six-sided rhombus.The emperor once said that his concubine Yin is the most beautiful and precious jadeite in the world, so he often asks people to give her a pendant carved with a large piece of jadeite into a six-sided diamond shape.After Concubine Yin's death, this thing also appeared in the palace. Some concubines used it as a curse for their souls, cursing Concubine Yin to go to the eighteenth level of hell, which will never be restored.

The emperor's clenched fists trembled slightly, and he stared at Xu Chengqing coldly: "Did you find this thing in her room?"

Seeing that he was so angry, Xu Chengqing didn't dare to move his eyes. Even though his back was sweating, he still said firmly, "Yes."

"Nonsense!" The emperor stood up angrily, staring at him firmly: "If someone in the palace instructed, could it be the ghost of Concubine Yin?"

"This..." Only then did Xu Chengqing know what this thing represented, and why Zhao Huaiyan carried it with him.

He knelt down and said, "I dare not lie to the emperor."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch An saw a little eunuch looking at him at the door, so he quietly backed out, looked at the little eunuch and said, "What's the matter?"

"It's the empress dowager who asked the emperor to make a decision."

"What's the matter?" Eunuch An was puzzled, and the little eunuch looked outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Eunuch An frowned slightly when he saw that he was a respectable and talented person: "The emperor is furious now, I'm afraid he won't see the two empresses, let them Let's wait in the side hall first."

"But..." The little eunuch said with a strange expression: "I heard that this matter is also related to the matter of Ding Nanhou."

Hearing the words, Eunuch An looked inside again, and took a deep breath: "Forget it, let's talk about it at the Sajia."

"Thank you father-in-law."

"Just wait, wait for the summons." Eunuch An warned, and then turned his head and went inside.

When he got to the inner room and saw the emperor with a gloomy face, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the talented and respected people are asking for an audience, saying that it is related to the matter of Marquis Dingnan."

The emperor's face became even colder: "Come in!"

"Yes." Eunuch An hurriedly winked at the little eunuch, and then shouted: "Chuan Jinggui, a talented person."

After a while, both of them came in.

As soon as the talented person came in, when he saw Zhao Huaiyan's cold face, he gritted his teeth slightly, went forward and knelt down to greet Zhao Huaiyan, and then said to Zhao Huaiyan: "Huaiyan, when I went to the border this time, I saw Qing'er. fine?"

The honorable person is somewhat disdainful, the emperor doesn't like Zhao Qing at all, does she still want to use Zhao Qing to win the emperor's mercy?

Zhao Huaiyan's face was even colder, but he knew that Jiacai was not trying to win the emperor's mercy, he just wanted to remind him of his friendship with Zhao Qing so that he could help her.

He looked at Jia Cairen, and said indifferently: "When I just entered the palace, I heard people say that Jia Cairen's niece also entered the palace."

Hearing this, the honorable man raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Jiacai's hands and feet are quick, but without my permission, who brought Jiacai's niece into the palace?"

When Jiacai heard Zhao Huaiyan mentioning Xue Wenxin, she knew that something was wrong. Now she only hoped that Guizhi would never bring Xue Wenxin over.

The emperor frowned: "What are you guys doing here?"

Seeing the emperor's fury, the honorable man knew that what was said on the silk cloth must have come true, so he looked at the emperor calmly and said, "Your majesty, it was early this morning, and my concubine found out that the talented person had suddenly killed all the people in his palace. Palace servants, and the concubine also found out that Jiacai seems to have been in contact with people from Dingnanhou's mansion."

"Dingnanhou Mansion?" The emperor didn't care if Jiacai killed someone, but turned to look at Jiacai: "Who do you contact and what do you do?"

"The concubine's court lady, Lianqiao, also heard Jiacai people talk about raising Gu, but the concubine asked Lianqiao to look at Jiacai again. Before coming here, Lianqiao was killed and silenced." Honorable people add fuel to the fire.

Jiacai saw the tightly clenched fists of the emperor hanging by his side, his complexion turned pale, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you trust my concubine, and this concubine didn't kill anyone..."

"Really, do you still want to put the blame on others like you did back then?" When the emperor said this, he almost gritted his teeth, but when he thought of that incident back then, he felt pain like gouging out his heart. This matter has gradually faded away, but this talented person just wants to come out again to expose this matter again, so that he can look directly at the mistakes he made back then!

When Jiacai heard this, he begged and looked up at him: "Your Majesty, are there any concubines..."

"No? Then I ask you, is that Hexiang from Dingnanhou's mansion one of yours?" the emperor asked coldly.

Jiacai gritted his teeth slightly, remembering what Guizhi said, knowing that Hexiang must have been exposed, he could only shake his head: "I don't know this person..."

"I don't know?" The emperor turned around and took the diamond-shaped jade and put it in front of her: "What about this thing? Didn't you give it to her?"

"No, Your Majesty, this concubine has never touched this thing..."

"Bastard, shameless!" The emperor slapped her hard on the face with his backhand, causing her to fall to the side: "Now that there are witnesses and evidence, don't you admit it? How many more people will come forward to identify you? Are you willing to admit it? Do I have to see you with my own eyes to tell the truth?"

"Concubine..." Jiacai was still trying to explain while covering his face that was bleeding from the beating, when someone came outside to report: "Your Majesty, there is a Miss Xue asking to see you outside."

Jia Cairen's eyes widened suddenly: "Don't..."

Seeing her like this, the respectable person knew that it must be her niece. The more she didn't want to see her, the more she wanted to see her. I heard that this Miss Xue is four or five points similar to the concubine Yin back then.

The emperor also said, "Broadcast!"

Soon, Xue Wenxin came in.

She was wearing a smoky emerald green wide-sleeved long dress with elegant bamboo printed on it. She was wearing a cross bun, and pink peach blossoms were dotted between her eyebrows. She acted with a little alienation and coldness, and her eyes always contained a touch of sadness.

The first time the emperor saw her, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously called out Concubine Yin's name.

When Jiacai heard his subconscious sound, he felt his heart was pierced. Even though Concubine Yin had been dead for so many years, would the emperor still not forget her...

"My daughter, Xue Wenxin, has met the emperor." Xue Wenxin looked at the tall and mature man who was over fifty years old in front of him, and he could still vaguely see his handsome appearance in the past, and the way he looked at himself, it was exactly as his aunt said, It must be affectionate and guilty.

She couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her mouth, but at the moment of this smile, the emperor suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately there was great shame and anger.

His eagle eyes became cold, and he tightly clenched the jade in his palm. Now he didn't care if someone wronged Jiacai, he only wanted Jiacai to die.

"Come here, Jiacai has vicious intentions, and I will give you a glass of poisonous wine." The emperor turned his back and said indifferently.

Faced with this sudden result, Jiacai raised his head in astonishment: "Your Majesty, these are all their one-sided words..."

"Didn't you hear what I said?" The emperor didn't want to be patient anymore. In order to protect his reputation, he didn't punish Jiacai, but now is the time.

Zhao Huaiyan looked at everything indifferently, glanced at Jia Cairen, but didn't speak.

When Jiacai saw this, he knew that he was bound to die, so he sat on the ground and laughed loudly: "Forget it, the emperor has wanted to kill his concubines for a long time, but you know, your favorite son, has been plotting To avenge his mother and concubine?"

Xu Chengqing's face darkened, and he went to see Zhao Huaiyan worriedly.

Zhao Huaiyan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and saluted the emperor: "My son knows that my father has suffered for so many years, and I know that my mother and concubine will definitely not blame my father. How could I murder my father?"

The book that the emperor carried behind his back trembled slightly: "Your mother and concubine... really don't hate me?"

"When I was young, I never heard my mother and concubine talk about my father's fault. If my mother and concubine hadn't met my father, everything would be related to my father. I can't imagine that my mother and concubine would hate my father." What's more, father was deceived by others." Zhao Huaiyan bowed and lowered his eyes.

Hearing these words, the emperor closed his eyes heavily: "I am sorry for her."

Seeing that the emperor believed Zhao Huaiyan so easily, the talented person said loudly: "Your Majesty, he has trained many people in the palace for the purpose of seizing the throne in the future..."

"Jiacai killed his mother and concubine, are you coming to kill me?" Zhao Huaiyan felt as if someone had stabbed a thorn into his heart, and the pain was severe. It turns out that no matter how good he was to Jiacai's mother and child, She wants to die by herself.

Jiacai's eyes were red: "You..."

"Since that's the case, why don't Jiacai people say that there are those people who are King Ning?" The respected man turned his winking eyes, squinted at the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said: "For example, there are people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. No……"

"That's enough, you really think I'm stupid, can you make fun of me?" The emperor turned sideways and looked at the nobleman with cold eyes, the nobleman was frightened by the look, opened his mouth, and swallowed all the words : "The concubine dare not."

"Don't drag her down yet!" the emperor said coldly.

Eunuch An quietly glanced at Zhao Huaiyan, and hurriedly recruited the young eunuch beside him to drag Jiacai down.

When Jiacai was dragged away, he gritted his teeth: "Your majesty, this concubine really loves you, everything I do is for your own good, Zhao Huaiyan wants to kill you, he wants to seize the throne..."

The emperor just turned a deaf ear to it, and waited for the Jiacai people to drag him away, only to catch a glimpse of Xue Wenxin kneeling on the ground, seeing her dressed exactly like the former concubine Yin, with a gloomy face, he tore off her hairpin and loosened her hair With hair in a bun, Cai said coldly: "Take off your clothes and get out of the palace!"

"Your Majesty..." Xue Wenxin bit her lips slightly, wanting to look at him pitifully, but was pushed by the respectable person: "Miss Xue still wants the Emperor to say it a second time?"

"But my daughter..."

"Are you worthy of being a Concubine Yin too? A lowly person." The emperor glanced at her indifferently, and then at Zhao Huaiyan: "Since King Jing can't find out about the Gu worms, you can check them out, and I will have them within three days." All Gu worms in this capital disappear!"

"I obey." Zhao Huaiyan lowered his eyes lightly, but when he saw the suspicion in the emperor's eyes, he knew that even if he explained, he would not believe him.Jiacai people really understand him, his suspicious character, even the dearest person, the dearest son will not let go.

Xue Wenxin had no choice but to take off her outer robe, leaving only her white inner garment and was dragged away in humiliation.

Zhao Huaiyan also withdrew with Master Zhang and Xu Chengqing.

When leaving the palace, Xu Chengqing couldn't help looking at Zhao Huaiyan and said, "My lord, what happened today..."

"Father has already made a decision, so I won't investigate further. That person named Hexiang, someone accused her of killing her, so she should be dealt with." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, she turned to look at Master Zhang: "My lord When you returned to Beijing, you heard that Jinhua had entered the prison of Jingzhao Mansion?"

"This matter is strange, the lower officials will definitely investigate it carefully." Mr. Zhang cupped his hands.

Zhao Huaiyan didn't say any more, as his father had already started to suspect him, so he would definitely start to check himself, and some things had to be speeded up.

When he walked out of the high walls of the imperial palace, he glanced in the direction of the Jingzhao government office. Fortunately, he was not like his father, he had someone he could trust completely, and someone who trusted him completely.

Thinking of this, a little tenderness finally overflowed from the eyes that were frozen with ice.

At this time, Lin Jinhua was sitting in the cell in the 'VIP area' rearranged by Mr. Zhang, and the tea brewed on the tea table was not bad.

She looked at Mrs. Yan standing at the door, and smiled slightly: "Why does Mrs. Yan insist on killing me?"

Mrs. Yan didn't know what happened in the palace yet, she came here this time to prepare, she just smiled and said: "When Miss Lin goes to court, if she doesn't admit it, I'm afraid that the maid named Cai'er in your estate will Danger."

"Are you threatening me?" Lin Jinhua looked at her face with high cheekbones, and felt more and more bitter: "I'm just an ordinary woman, why bother to make trouble with me?"

"It was you who blocked the way. Miss Lin, you are so beautiful and smart, why can't you see that you are not worthy of His Royal Highness Ning Wang? If you call off this marriage early and leave the capital , maybe I can live this life in peace.”

When Lin Jinhua heard this, she just thought it was funny, so she couldn't help raising her teacup and said, "The tea here is pretty good, Madam, would you like to come in and have a taste?"

"Humph……"

"But there is no rush, wait for me to go out, maybe Madam will be lucky enough to live in this cell." Lin Jinhua said with a smile. There has been no news from the palace until now, which means it is good news. He must have been impatient to kill himself a long time ago, and Madam Yan couldn't help but speak harshly to him in person.

Mrs. Yan snorted disdainfully when she heard the words: "You can also play tricks, but when your beloved girl dies, you can't blame me. I just came to remind you kindly."

"Then I would kindly remind Madam..." Lin Jinhua's teacup was coldly placed on the table, and then she suppressed all the smiles on her face: "You have repeatedly made things difficult for me and the Xu family, but don't forget, no one can help you." Not soft persimmons."

Madam Yan looked at her serious look, her small body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, she couldn't help frowning.

A servant just ran in from outside and whispered something in her ear. After listening, Mrs. Yan's complexion turned pale immediately, and she hurriedly turned to look at him: "It's absolutely true..."

"The news just came from the palace."

"But how did it happen? Jiacai gave birth to nine princes anyway. The late emperor stipulated that any concubine with heirs who committed a serious crime should be lightly punished. At most, Jiacai was sent to Changle Nunnery to practice. How could... ..." When she said this, she deliberately lowered her voice so that Lin Jinhua could not hear her.

"My lord said that the situation is very complicated, and that He Xiang was also sentenced to death," said the boy.

"How could it be... Marquis Ding Nan is so obsessed with her..." After thinking about it, Mrs. Yan felt that she couldn't stay here any longer, and without looking at Lin Jinhua, she lifted her skirt and walked out quickly.

Lin Jinyu blinked when she heard their conversation. Things went so smoothly?
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Xu brought Xu Zhaozhao to see her.

The jailer in the cell was also very sensible, and personally opened the door of the cell to let them in.

As soon as Xu Zhaozhao saw Lin Jinhua, he stepped forward and hugged her: "Sister Jinhua, you have suffered."

"It's not bitter." Lin Jinhua pulled her to smile, then looked at Mrs. Xu, and said with a smile, "Auntie, did you hear about the palace?"

"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't have the time to come and see you, and it would be too late to find someone to save you." Xu Zhaozhao laughed.

Mrs. Xu also pulled Lin Jinhua to sit down, and then said: "I heard from Qing'er this time, thanks to His Royal Highness King Ning returning to Beijing in time, otherwise this matter would really not be so simple."

Lin Jinhua was surprised that Huaiyan actually showed up?A person like Jiacai is like a poisonous snake, and he will bite back before he dies. Will a suspicious person like the emperor start to doubt Huaiyan from now on?If so, then this time the gain outweighs the loss.

Mrs. Xu saw that she was still worried, and asked strangely, "Jinhua, what's wrong?"

Lin Jinhua came back to her senses, shook her head, and asked, "How is my cousin? Is it going well?" She was always worried that her cousin's new official position would be caught by someone.

Xu Zhaozhao was even happier when he heard this: "Brother is very powerful. The aunt who carried Ping's wife heard that she was sentenced to death. I don't know if Dingnanhou will go to rescue her."

Lin Jinhua smiled, Ding Nanhou was such a perverted and ruthless person, after knowing that He Xiang had bewitched him, he would definitely not try to save him again.

But now as long as people don't die, she doesn't dare to let go of her guard easily, she just said: "Auntie is going back this time, I'd better tell my cousin to look after him." Jiacai is so cunning, Hexiang is even more unusual, he wants to kill easily, I'm afraid it's not that easy.

Seeing that she was serious about what she said, Mrs. Xu also nodded, then took her hand and said: "I think His Royal Highness King Ning really cares about you, and this is also your blessing. Don't worry, King Ning will follow up on this matter." Look at your uncle, there will be no accident."

"I hope so." Lin Jinhua smiled.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao have been here to accompany her for dinner, and Xu Zhaozhao would stay here to sleep with her. If the yamen servants hadn't persuaded her for a while, she would have stayed here.

When they were sent away, Wang Ruyan also came, accompanied by Tao Mou.

As soon as Wang Ruyan saw Lin Jinhua, she ran over quickly and apologized, "Jinhua, I'm sorry, I'm only here now."

Lin Jinhua glanced at Tao Mou beside her, and said with a smile, "Young Master Tao is here too."

"It's inconvenient for Ruyan to come here alone. I saw that she really wanted to see you, so I found an excuse to pick her up." When Tao Mou mentioned Wang Ruyan, his voice was extraordinarily gentle.

Lin Jinhua looked at him with affectionate eyes, which did not seem to be fake.

Wang Ruyan only pulled Lin Jinzheng and said, "Don't worry, if the government misjudged this matter, Daddy will definitely take the paper for you."

"En." Lin Jinhua nodded, she knew Wang Yushi's character, and the only thing she was worried about now was that Ru Yan had already made up her mind to marry Tao Mou.

She paused, looked at Tao Mou and said, "Young Master Tao, Ru Yan and I have something to say, I wonder if it's convenient for you..."

Tao Mou smiled slightly and said apologetically, "Ru Yan is not feeling well recently, the prison cell is always dark and damp, and it is a place where evil spirits gather, I am worried that Ru Yan, a weak woman, will not be able to bear it, if not, I will stand in front , how did you talk to Ruyan?"

Lin Jinhua looked at the way he smiled at Ruyan with concern, and seeing that Ruyan didn't intend to refuse, she sighed a long time in her heart, brother, I can only help you so far.

Tao Mou stood back a few steps before Lin Jinhua looked at Wang Ruyan and said, "Ruyan, brother..."

"By the way, I want to tell you a happy event." Wang Ruyan laughed, and Lin Jinzheng already had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still heard her say: "I have decided to marry Mr. Tao, and the horoscope has also been matched. The wedding is at the end of the month, which is an auspicious day."

"Ruyan, are you being too hasty?" Lin Jinhua asked while holding her hand.

Wang Ruyan smiled lightly, and endured the soreness in her eyes: "With my status, it's very good to be able to marry, and Mr. Tao treats me very well." After she finished speaking, she shook her head: "Don't mention this matter. This time around, I have one more thing to tell you.”

Lin Jinhua wanted to tell her that her brother was coming back soon, but Wang Ruyan obviously didn't want to hear it, so she just said, "Do you still remember your uncle Lin Duan?"

Lin Jinhua naturally remembered, but after Lin Xiyu's death, he seemed to have disappeared.

Only then did Wang Ruyan say: "Young Master Tao has heard the news that he has been to the Lin family since he resigned from office. It seems that he has set off and returned in the past few days, and he seems to have come with some purpose."

"From the clan..." Lin Jinhua frowned, thinking of the old patriarch, maybe he could ask, but the biggest problem now is that his father is far away at the border, not in the capital at all.It seems that I have to think of another way.
