Chapter 87 Struggling
In the afternoon, the sun suddenly became vicious, and I was already sweating profusely after running for a while.
When Guizhi watched Xue Wenxin being stripped of his clothes and thrown out, he knew that the talented person must not be able to keep him. Sure enough, it didn't take long before he heard the news of the gift of poisoned wine.
She hid outside the Yonghe Palace and did not dare to go back. If the honored person found out, she would never let her go. After thinking about it, she planned to go to Zhao Huaiyan, but when she turned to leave, she heard a familiar voice behind her. When it came, she suddenly felt that the heat in her body disappeared, leaving only fear.
She immediately turned around and knelt down: "My lord..."
"I didn't expect that you would collude with Jiacai, Guizhi, am I not good to you?" The nobleman looked at her indifferently, and he couldn't figure it out. He was not bad to her, and even trusted her. , let her take care of her.Ever since Lianqiao was killed, she knew that Guizhi must have betrayed her, especially since Lianqiao's body was still found in the dry well.
Guizhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his mouth was trembling slightly: "Madam, I don't want to harm you, I just want to use the hand of Jiacai to get rid of Lin Jinhua for you..."
"Is that so?" The respectable person still doesn't trust her now, he just raised his hand and ordered: "Take it down, Jiacai was given a glass of poisoned wine by the emperor, so give her a glass of poisoned wine too."
"Your Majesty!" Gui Zhi raised her head in astonishment, and an eunuch immediately stepped forward to hold her back.
The honored person no longer went to see her, but let someone carry the sedan chair back to the palace with a cold face.
When I got back to Yonghe Palace, I didn't feel well at all. After much deliberation, I slapped my palm heavily on the table: "This Gui Zhi, how can I treat her badly, she actually wants to betray me!"
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak out.
The respected person took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said: "Come here, go and watch Jiacai, and report back when she is completely dead."
Immediately a court lady responded.
The nobleman gritted his teeth slightly, remembering what happened today, and snorted coldly: "Go and find out who the maid of Naxinzheku is, she has such a great ability, and she designed it to come to the palace." Listen to Jingzhao Yin and Xu Chengqing's words, what happened yesterday and today is really a coincidence. It is too dangerous to have such a powerful person in the dark. If you can't use it for yourself, you must get rid of it to avoid future troubles!
What she didn't expect was that she had already been calculated.
There is more than one Jiacai person who harbors evil intentions in the palace, but anyone who gave birth to a prince will stare at the position above. They did not dare to act rashly before, because these women in the palace are deeply scheming and have nothing to do, but there is Jiacai The example of people and queens does not seem to be the case.
Sitting alone in the cold palace where Jiacai was executed, she looked at the poisonous wine in front of her and chuckled softly: "Is the emperor really so heartless?"
Eunuch An bowed to look at her, and said, "Your Majesty, let's get on the road earlier."
"Eunuch, for the sake of the Ninth Prince, let me stay alone for a while. Before sunset, I will drink this poisonous wine, so you won't be embarrassed." Jiacai's eyes were moist, but he still held back his tears.
Eunuch An was used to seeing all kinds of tragedies in the palace, for the sake of the Ninth Prince, he didn't do anything wrong with Jiacai, he just told him: "My lady, hurry up." go down.
The Jiacai people watched everyone leave, and then raised the corners of their lips sullenly.Since she can use Gu to make people use it, why wouldn't she be prepared for this day? It's just poisonous wine, but fortunately the emperor didn't give her a three-foot white silk.After thinking about it, he took out a darkened jade bottle from his sleeve, looked at it, opened the bottle cap resolutely, and swallowed the contents inside.
Outside the cold palace, people who respected the nobles arrived, and they heard a few court ladies talking in a low voice not far away.
"Jiacai will definitely not die."
"How could it be? It's poisonous wine, and the throat was sealed with blood." Another court lady said in surprise.
"Because I heard from Mr. Jiacai's father-in-law, Li Zi, that my mother has been guarding against this day. She has prepared a Gu worm that can fake death. After eating it, she will enter a state of suspended animation, and the poisonous wine is not Mr. An. Keeping an eye on those who drank it personally, maybe Jiacai will run away when the corpse is transported out..."
Hearing this, those who respected the nobleman looked into the cold palace and saw that Eunuch An and the eunuchs were really guarding outside the palace, their eyeballs rolled, and they hurriedly turned around and ran back to report.
As soon as she left, the two maids who had just spoken stopped talking, looked in the direction she was leaving, and left quickly.
In the Yonghe Palace, when the respected people heard this, they only said: "Is it true?"
"My servant heard it with my own ears. Although I have never seen this Gu worm, Mr. An and the others are indeed guarding outside the palace. I am afraid that they will not stare at Jiacai and drink that poisonous wine with their own eyes." The maid hurriedly road.
After hearing this, the nobleman sneered: "In that case, let her die again! I thought a glass of poisoned wine was too cheap for her. Now she brought it to her door, so I can't blame me."
When the sun was setting, Eunuch An, who was guarding outside the cold palace, was about to open the door to go in. He heard a crackling sound inside and felt bad. When he opened the door and went in, he saw that Jiacai had already fallen on the ground, and the wine on the ground was broken. The cup is already empty.
Seeing this, he stepped forward to feel his pulse, sighed slightly, and was only allowed to be carried down.
It was getting dark late in May, and even though the sun had completely set, the sky was still bright.
A few crows landed on the emerald green tiles on the palace wall and screamed. Looking at the corpses being transported from the palace to be cremated, they flapped their wings and flew over.
The eunuchs in charge are used to it, and the leading eunuch in charge of the cremation of the palace servants went directly to the straw mat that wrapped the Jiacai's corpse, and said: "After all, she is the birth mother of the Ninth Prince. Don't burn it with those lowly palace servants. , have someone move it to the car and follow me."
"This... I'm afraid it's against the rules." A little eunuch reminded.
The leader glared at him: "You're new here? There are so many mistakes in the palace, so be careful." After the warning, someone immediately took the corpse away.
Outside the palace at the moment.
Zhao Huaiyan's carriage was parked at the corner [-] meters outside the palace, he sat in the carriage and closed his eyes, not knowing what to think.
The attendant saw that someone had already come out, and said in a low voice, "My lord, someone has already come out."
Zhao Huaiyan slowly opened his eyes after hearing the words, looked at the sneaky eunuch through the curtain of the car, and asked in a low voice, "Who is he from?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him move before." The attendant was also puzzled.
Just as he was thinking, the eunuch called a large and comfortable carriage from nowhere, and ordered someone to carry Jiacai out of the straw mat, put him on the carriage, and said while moving: "Be careful Some, if you get hurt, the Ninth Prince will not spare you."
"Yes." The people below responded repeatedly.
Hearing this, Zhao Huaiyan felt a chill in his heart. Zhao Qing told him that his mother and concubine had no one to rely on in the palace, so she helped him make all kinds of arrangements. He never thought that he had already cultivated himself without telling him. people.
Seeing that Jiacai was about to be sent away, suddenly a group of men wearing the clothes of royal guards rushed out. Zhao Kan, the leader, was dressed in brocade and held a long sword. Cut!" After speaking, before the man could speak, the long sword cut down, and then looked at the others: "Get lost!"
Those people didn't dare to oppose Zhao Kan, so they hurriedly turned their heads and went back, and Zhao Kan let someone take Jiacai's body away.
In the dark, the attendant looked at Zhao Huaiyan, and asked softly, "My lord, do we not care?"
Zhao Huaiyan looked at Zhao Kan's leaving back indifferently, without speaking.She will not let herself and Jinhua go if she saves Jiacairen. If so, it depends on how capable she is, and how capable Zhao Qing is.
"Go to Jingzhao Mansion."
"Yes." Hearing the words, the attendant hurriedly sent someone to drive the carriage away.
Lin Jinhua sent Wang Ruyan away. When Wang Ruyan left, she hesitated to speak. Lin Jinhua knew that she still wanted to ask about her brother, but she seemed to be more obsessed with feeling that she was not good enough for her brother, this silly girl.
A yamen servant came to light candles, brought an exquisite dinner, and smiled cautiously: "Miss Lin, is there anything else you need?"
"No need." Seeing how respectful they were, Lin Jinhua must have known that she would not be locked up for long.Hexiang, the plaintiff, has also gone to prison. Once something happens to Jiacai, Mrs. Yan will definitely not continue to pester her, not to mention that Huaiyan has already appeared in the public eye, and those who want to get involved in the dark will definitely stop. After thinking about it, when Mr. Zhang goes to investigate without hindrance, the truth will be found out soon.
Just as she was thinking, she heard the voice of greetings from outside, and then she looked up, the person in black brocade was none other than Zhao Huaiyan.
"My lord." She smiled and stood up.
Zhao Huaiyan saw that his complexion was a little bad, and said softly: "Don't worry."
"Well, the prince is here, so I'm not worried." Lin Jinhua's eyes were bent like a crescent moon, and Zhao Huaiyan's heavy heart suddenly relaxed when he saw it.It was the same when I first met her... But the first meeting at Zhao Kan's wedding in the previous life was not considered the first meeting. He had seen her when she was a child. You can recognize her at the first sight, and she won't suffer so much in her previous life.
"What is the prince thinking?" Seeing him making a sound, Lin Jinhua raised her hand and waved in front of his eyes, but the next second her hand was held by his slightly rough but warm palm.
"My lord..."
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her deeply, eyes full of tenderness and happiness: "I'm thinking of you."
Lin Jinhua's ears felt slightly hot, and she didn't know how to respond.
The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's mouth curled up unknowingly, which softened his cold facial features. This way he was different from before, like a handsome young man on the street, and like a jade in troubled times, gentle and calm, which made Lin Jinhua feel a little crazy.
"My lord, there is a secret letter urgently sent from eight hundred miles away."
A guard rushed in from the outside, Gao Zhi helplessly raised his forehead, and glared at the messenger. At this moment, he didn't dare to breathe heavily, and he actually came running and yelling loudly.
The guard who was stared at was a little puzzled, and asked him in a low voice: "Guard Gao, what's the matter?"
Gao Zhi was speechless and choked, brat, you ruined your prince's good deeds, Miss Lin was about to fall into the prince's gentle trap.
Sure enough, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lin Jinhua's face was flushed, and she didn't know what to say, so she quickly withdrew her hand.
Zhao Huaiyan also turned into an ordinary look, with a stern face, hands resting lightly behind his back, and a faint glance at Gao Tian.
Gao Jie hurriedly lowered his head: "My lord, why don't you go back and deal with it first?"
"My lord, let's go back first, nothing will happen here." Lin Jinhua hurriedly smiled.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the appearance of red clouds floating on her fair little face, did she look insanely at her just now, so to speak, she seemed to be very satisfied with her appearance.
Zhao Huaiyan hid a smile in his eyes and said, "I'll go first."
"En." Lin Jinhua nodded, and Zhao Huaiyan turned around and walked away.
Gao Tian glared at the stupid guard again, and then hastily followed.
Seeing that everyone had left and the cell was quiet, Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the small bed on one side. Looking at the moonlight slowly coming out of the window, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.Only after reliving the whole life can I realize that someone can love deeply, and that the person I love deeply loves me with the same passion, which is such a happy thing.
Huaiyan, we will all be fine in this lifetime, right...
She looked at the moonlight outside the window and made a heartfelt wish before she fell asleep slowly.
With the sound of frogs croaking, in the small tavern outside Jingzhao Mansion, the boss waited attentively on the rich man who had spent the whole night, and said with a smile: "Our shop also has a top-notch daughter Hong..."
"No need, my lord is not here to drink. Shopkeeper, you just wait here, my lord has something to ask you." The boy said directly.
Hearing the words, the innkeeper was also savvy, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Yes, yes, you can ask Mr. Tao if you have anything to say, and the little ones will know everything, and you can say everything."
"Master Zhang often comes here to drink?"
"That's right, Mr. Zhang likes the wine made by small ones." The shopkeeper was a little proud.
Tao Mou glanced at him indifferently, threw a silver ingot weighing five taels to him, and said, "Did Mr. Zhang ever say anything about the case of Miss Lin in prison?"
When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he said directly: "I said so."
"How is the case?"
"It's probably wrong to say that, it will be released soon." The shopkeeper said again.
"How long?" Tao Mou continued.
The shopkeeper looked at him with some embarrassment: "This..."
Tao Mou was not in a hurry, and threw another silver ingot of the same weight to him.
The shopkeeper saw it, and said quickly: "It will take two or three days to go to the countryside to collect evidence, and then come back, it should not exceed five days in total."
"Five days..." Tao Mou got the result, and then sent the shopkeeper out.
After the shopkeeper left, the servant on the side looked at him and said, "My lord, what do you think?"
"I went to see Lin Jinhua on purpose today. Even if Yan'er wants to marry me, she doesn't seem to be very willing." Tao Mou stood up and looked in the direction of the Jingzhao Mansion prison.
Hearing this, the little servant asked nervously, "Then, does your lord want Lin Jinhua to stay in prison forever?"
Tao Mou chuckled: "No, now that so many people are protecting her, I can't afford to offend her. Since there are still five days left, we can only advance the wedding date. When she gets out of prison, I can do whatever I want to do." It's too late, I just wronged Yan'er." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the young servant: "Go to the fortune-telling teacher and ask her to advance the wedding date, and give her as much money as you want."
The boy saw that his lord really wanted to marry that young lady of the Wang family, so he was a little bit unwilling for him: "My lord, is that young lady of the Wang family worth your effort? After all, she has already been given to..."
"Snapped--!"
Before the boy could finish speaking, Tao Mou, who was usually gentle and refined, had already slapped him hard on the face, and then said in a cold voice: "If I hear you say no to Yan'er in the future, I will kill you .”
The boy hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and Tao Mou snorted softly: "Then why don't you go to work?"
The boy didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly turned his head away.
The night passed.
When the morning sun shone in, Lin Jinhua could clearly feel that someone was staring at her. His eyes were cold and eerie, making her feel as if a poisonous snake had climbed up her back, as if she was about to face her in the next second. Biting her neck hard.
She woke up suddenly and sat up immediately, only to realize that the gaze came from the cell next door.
Lin Jinhua looked at him, but he just huddled in a dark corner. When she saw him, he laughed strangely, his voice seemed to come from hell.
Just when Lin Jinhua was trying to remember who this person was, the yamen servant hurried over, knocked hard on the cell door and scolded, "Why are you making such a fuss, if you continue to make a fuss, I will drag you down and give you another fifty lashes!"
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she realized that this man seemed to be covered in blood, his face was also covered in blood, and his body was also covered in blood. It was very hideous.
Seeing that Lin Jinhua had also woken up, the yamen servant hurried over and apologized, "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry, this is the only spare cell left. This person is very dangerous and sucks human blood. If you don't lock him up alone , for fear of hurting other prisoners. If he disturbs you, you tell the little ones, and the little ones immediately pull him down and cut off his tongue, anyway, he is full of evil." After finishing speaking, the yamen servant spat.
Lin Jinhua looked at the man's gaze, she didn't know him before, but she always felt that there was something else besides the gloomy.
"Who is he?" she asked.
"I don't know his identity, but when our people saw him early this morning, he had killed several members of the acrobatic troupe. Seeing that he walks on all fours, he must be a savage raised by the acrobatic troupe," said the yamen servant. After that, someone called him again, and he looked at Lin Jinhua apologetically.
Lin Jinhua didn't make things difficult for him, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, you can go."
The yamen servant hurriedly responded.
As soon as the people left, the breakfast was delivered, and Lin Jinhua didn't ask any more questions, and sat at the table to eat breakfast with peace of mind.
However, she had heard about the acrobatic troupe raising monkeys and other spiritual objects for performances. This person can't even walk, I'm afraid the acrobatic troupe deliberately trained it like this.
She was halfway through eating, and found that the gaze before was even colder, and there was a low growl of a beast.
Lin Jinhua turned her head and saw that he was still squatting in the darkness, but staring straight at the bun in her hand, paused, and asked him, "Do you want to eat?"
He growled even louder.
Seeing this, Lin Jinhua only took the remaining three buns, made a bowl of clear porridge and slowly passed them over. Seeing that he still didn't come over, she just pretended to be sleepy, turned around and lay down on the bed again, and then she caught sight of him from the corner of her eye He tentatively walked over slowly, took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and saw that there was no danger, so he ate it voraciously. The posture of eating was indeed like a wild beast.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were dull, she closed her eyes and stopped looking, only thinking about what Wang Ruyan said about Lin Duan earlier.He didn't have time to find out who his secret master was. Could it be that he was ordered by his master to return to Beijing this time?
Lin Jinhua sighed heavily in her heart. Hearing the sound of wheezing and drinking porridge from the next door, the corners of her mouth curled up, thinking about her own business seriously.
Soon, my brother will be back too.
He didn't spread the news about Lin Jincheng's return to the capital. After all, he had the experience last time and knew that there were still many people in the capital who wanted him dead.
After riding the horse all night, he only rested a little when he reached the small town.
Mo Hua came back after inquiring about the news from the outside, and seeing him reading military books, she said with a smile: "Young Master, you keep reading military books on the way to and from, so you should take a rest, otherwise, when you return to Beijing tomorrow, where do you find the strength to meet Miss Wang. "
Lin Jincheng's face turned red when he heard this, and he only smiled and glanced at her: "Did you find out? When will Zheng Lai return to Beijing?"
"It's been just a few days. During the time he was away from the capital, so many things happened in the capital. When he comes back this time, he might not be able to bear it." Mo Hua sat on one side with a smile.
Lin Jincheng didn't believe it: "Zheng Lai is not as sentimental as you think. Mrs. Zheng is his biological mother, so he may still be a little sad, but for his daughter Zheng Ruyi, I'm afraid he won't be too sad." Lin Jincheng remembered Zheng Ruyi, thinking of the amazement and admiration when she first met her, was somewhat embarrassed.
Mo Hua thinks about Zheng Lai's character, and it is indeed the case. This person is surly and violent, and likes to kill, I am afraid it is true.
After thinking about it, he didn't ask any more questions, but said: "Let's rest for two hours before we go on our way, otherwise the horse won't be able to bear it."
"Yes." Lin Jincheng nodded.
The two of them finished their meal and were about to go upstairs to rest when they heard merchants from the capital talking loudly.
"Have you heard that the young lady of the Wang family who has been insulted and innocent in the capital is about to marry Mr. Tao, the new fifth-rank magistrate of Yuzhou?"
"Mr. Tao has a bright future, why did he marry such an unclean woman?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because Mr. Tao is just a concubine, and Miss Wang's father is a first-rank censor after all."
A few people laughed and said, there was no doubt that there was no contempt in their tone.
Mo Hua had a bad heart, before he could hold Lin Jincheng back, he had already run up to those people and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"who are you……"
Lin Jincheng directly pulled out the saber from his waist, his originally gentle face was full of murderous looks: "Say, Yan'er...what's wrong with Ms. Wang?"
"She is engaged to Mr. Tao and will be married soon..." The merchant hurriedly said when he saw the shining sword.
"She ruined her innocence, so what's going on?" Lin Jincheng felt like a knife was twisting his heart when he said these words. How could a simple person like Ru Yan have his innocence ruined? Who would dare to do this!
The merchants looked at each other strangely, then looked at him and said, "You don't know? Just over two months ago, that Miss Wang was deprived of her innocence by Mr. Zeng's family..."
Lin Jincheng couldn't understand a word of what was said later. Was it when he just left the capital more than two months ago?
Seeing such a scene, Mo Hua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord..."
"Go prepare the horse, I want to return to Beijing immediately."
"But son, the capital probably isn't ready yet!" Mo Hua wanted him to calm down before talking, and their horses had been running for so long overnight, and if they continued running, they might be exhausted on the road, but he Before he finished speaking, Lin Jincheng turned around and went out. When Mo Hua arrived, he had already mounted his horse and headed towards the capital.
She sighed helplessly, and only asked the shopkeeper to quickly change a horse for her before chasing after her.
In the capital, Wang Ruyan didn't know that Lin Jincheng was coming soon.
When Mrs. Wang came, she sat upright in front of the mirror and looked at her face.
The sunny day slowly gathered dark clouds, and the new girl was still muttering: "The day has changed again. It was fine in the morning, but now it looks like it's going to rain."
Mrs. Wang sent them all out, and then looked at Wang Ruyan with distress, and said: "Yan'er, have you really decided? You are in such a hurry, I'm afraid you will be wronged if you don't have time to prepare."
Wang Ruyan lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "Mother, it's a blessing for Yan'er to be treated like this by Mr. Tao. Why do you want to be beautiful?" She doesn't want to be beautiful at all. I don't want the scenery either.She is willing to live on, and is willing to marry and have children according to the rules of the world, all because her brother will die soon, if something happens to her again, what will her parents do?
She didn't dare to think too much, and didn't dare to have other thoughts.
Mrs. Wang watched her tears fall slowly, and then hugged her in her arms distressedly: "My poor Yan'er, it's all my mother's fault..."
"Mother, I don't blame you." If you want to blame, blame the elder brother who has been extremely selfish from the beginning to the end.
"But...tomorrow is the wedding day. Although the teacher said that tomorrow is an auspicious day, there will be auspicious days in the next month, and the next month. Yan'er, how about we wait for next month?"
The figure that appeared at the door was no longer tall, Wang Ruyan raised her eyes to look at her father, who was only fifty years old with frosty temples, and chuckled softly: "Father, my daughter doesn't feel wronged, Young Master Tao is going to take office in Yuzhou soon, Yan'er Marry him, and just follow him to Yuzhou." How could she bear to stay in the Wang family, as long as she was here, her parents would feel guilty and blame themselves, if she was here all the time, they would never have peace.
Wang Yushi sighed deeply: "It's all your brother's fault, that unworthy bastard!"
"Father, don't blame him. He is seriously ill now. I will tell him the news in a while, so as to make him happy." Wang Ruyan laughed.
Mrs. Wang looked at her with red eyes, feeling extremely sad.
After noon, the cool wind swept away all the heat in the morning, and the drizzle also fell down.
When Wang Ruyan arrived at Wang Huiyuan's courtyard, she heard curses from inside: "Get out, trash."
The maids hurriedly backed out, their faces still bruised, and when they saw her coming, they quickly saluted.
Wang Ruyan saw it and said softly, "Go down and get some medicine."
"Yes." The maids gave her a grateful look, and then hastily retreated.
After everyone left, Wang Ruyan put down the paper umbrella in her hand, asked her maids to wait in the corridor, and walked in alone.
As soon as he entered the room, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol inside. Wang Huiyuan was sitting on the ground leaning against the bed, drinking alcohol one after another drunkenly.
Seeing someone coming in again, just about to vent her dissatisfaction, she raised her head and found that it was her, and her tone softened: "Ru Yan, why are you here?"
"Come and say good news to big brother."
"Announcement?"
"I'm going to get married tomorrow, Mr. Tao." Wang Ruyan said calmly.
After finishing speaking, Wang Huiyuan frowned: "You marry him? He is not a good thing, just a concubine, and he married you just to cling to our Wang family. Ru Yan, listen to your elder brother, he will definitely find you a From a nice family."
"A good family? A good family like Zeng Xuehai?" Wang Ruyan looked at the wine on the side, but laughed instead: "Brother, you should drink less, otherwise the poison in your body will attack quickly."
Wang Huiyuan was taken aback, thinking he heard it wrong: "Poison? What kind of poison?"
"What do you think, brother?" Wang Ruyan looked at him silently: "If it wasn't for you, why would I want to marry someone I don't love, why my parents would not be happy all day long, and why the Wang family would be so gloomy? It's all because of you. .”
Wang Huiyuan shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up, but then he heard Wang Ruyan say: "When I held Yingtang dead in the water, I was terrified. I have never killed anyone, never harmed anyone. Who, but brother, what did I do wrong?"
"Ruyan, you actually..." Wang Huiyuan couldn't believe it. It turned out that Yingtang didn't die to save her, but was killed by her.
"You thought it was for my own good, so you stepped me into the dust so that I could match Zeng Xuehai...Brother, you really love me." Wang Ruyan felt sore in her heart. Looking at Wang Huiyuan's unbelievable eyes, her eyes slowly gathered. Tears came, when she heard herself say these words, she was willing to believe that this was her present self, not only her body was not pure, but her heart was also not pure.
Wang Huiyuan looked at her tears, stood up slowly with the edge of the bed, looked at her and said softly: "Ru Yan, I didn't know you would resist so much, I didn't mean it, I was just for your own good..."
"Then it's for my own good, brother, go die. If you don't die, parents will always feel guilty, and I will never forget Yingtang's blood on my hands, and I will never forget that my own brother sent me to the place of that disgusting man." You can be insulted on the bed." Wang Ruyan couldn't help but shed tears slowly, watching Wang Huiyuan growl in a low voice.She had suppressed it for too long, and she didn't dare to let her true emotions show. She had nightmares every night, dreaming of that hellish night.
Wang Huiyuan looked at the murderous intent in her eyes, his body shook slightly, and he fell down on the bed behind him.
Seeing him like this, Wang Ruyan closed her eyes deeply, then turned and left without saying a word.
Tomorrow is the big wedding. At the very least, she has to prepare her wedding dress so that Young Master Tao can't be too ugly.
The drizzle was light, falling silently on the ground.
When Mo Feng told the news, Lin Jinhua couldn't believe it: "We're getting married tomorrow?"
"Well, it seems that the mistress of Changle Temple came to the capital in person to explain that today is the best auspicious day, and today the queen mother's edict has also come down, canonizing Miss Wang as the county head, Master Huijue released early in the morning that Miss Wang is a jade girl The news is that there is no objection to the big wedding now," Mo Feng said.
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly: "What about Ruyan, is she really willing?"
Mo Feng looked at her worriedly, but still nodded: "The maidservant and Miss Biao have personally asked, and Mrs. Wang also said that Miss Wang is really willing to marry."
Lin Jinhua suddenly felt a little powerless, she was trapped here and couldn't get out...
She suddenly thought of Tao Mou from yesterday, could it be that he deliberately brought up the wedding date?But he probably didn't know about Ru Yan and her elder brother, did he know about it a long time ago, but kept it in his heart and never said it?
"When will brother come back?"
"Mo Hua has already sent a letter to the pigeon, saying that the young master has learned about Miss Wang, and has already rushed to the road immediately, and he may be able to arrive tonight." Mo Feng said.
Hearing this, Lin Jinhua became more and more worried: "If my guess is right, there must be Tao Mou people around the palace. You go to pick up your brother personally tonight. After you pick him up, tell him to calm down and not act impulsively." If Ruyan insists on marrying Tao Mou..." Lin Jinhua sighed slightly: "It's really impossible, you let him kidnap Ruyan and run away." The big deal is that the Lin family's family name is not important, brother's lifetime happiness is better than these false names important.The two of them found a place to hide their names and live a peaceful life.
When Mo Feng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, taking people away is the lady's usual style of doing things.
"How about Mo Yue?" Lin Jinhua asked after talking about it, "Have you found any news about Lin Duan?"
"Investigating, the sixth son has come to his senses, he said he must see the lady, he has something very important to tell you personally." Mo Feng said.
Lin Jinhua nodded: "Bring him to see me later, depending on Mr. Zhang's speed, I'm afraid it will take a few days before I get out of this prison."
Mo Feng nodded, knowing that Gao Tian had been guarding outside the prison, so he withdrew.
Not long after, the yamen servant brought dinner, because Gao Zhi had prepared it specially, and he personally brought the food directly from the best restaurant in the capital. Five meat, three vegetables and one soup, just opening the food box, was enough The greedy servants are drooling.
Lin Jinhua was not stingy either, she kept one meat and one vegetable for herself, and gave them everything else.
After the yamen servants had left, she glanced at the person next door with a cat lying motionless in a dark corner, took out a bowl of half-divided food and handed it over, then sat at the table and began to eat by herself, but when she thought of Wang Ruyan, she immediately went to bed. I was about to get married, but felt that I had no appetite, so I ate some hastily and stopped.
"Bang bang..."
Not long after, there was a banging sound on the cell door from the next door.
Lin Jinhua didn't pay much attention, but the yamen servant scolded: "What are you arguing about! If you keep arguing, I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
The man seemed to be able to understand people's words, and beat the prison door harder and harder.
"Hey, you're still stubborn with me! Someone, drag him out and beat him with thirty lashes. Anyway, he's tough, and he can't be beaten to death!" After the leading yamen servant finished speaking, he took the key to open the door. Only then did Lin Jinhua turn his head, But he found that the man was yelling at him continuously...
No, he growled behind him.
Lin Jinhua subconsciously turned around and took a step back, and suddenly saw in a damp corner, a crimson snake had already meandered and crawled towards him, constantly spitting dangerous messages at him.
She was busy touching the wax pills in her sleeves, only to realize that she had used up all of them when she dealt with Marquis Dingnan last time. This snake should have crawled out of the window in the rain these few days. I'm afraid I will be bitten to death by this snake.
"Come on..." she said softly.
The yamen guards in the next cell who had already caught that person and planned to drag her out heard, and hurriedly asked her, "Miss Lin, what's the matter?"
"snake……"
She said softly, and the yamen servants looked in front of her. When they saw the red snake, they suddenly widened their eyes and walked over cautiously.One of them was good at kung fu, carefully pinched the dart, and when the snake flashed forward to bite Lin Jinhua, the dart flashed and broke the snake into two pieces, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jinhua also felt like she was sweating on her back.Just now the red snake looked very poisonous, not to mention that she had no time to heal herself, when she asked someone to buy the medicine, she also died from the poison, if she lived a new life, if she fell on this little snake , It's really too bad.
She leaned on the wall to stand firm, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It seems that there are still a lot of snakes and insects here."
"This is a prison cell, there is really no way..."
"Go and buy some medicine for me." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she glanced at the person who had just thrown the darts, and said, "Do you always feel unwell and have joint pain these days?"
"Miss Lin knows?" the yamen servant asked in surprise.
"I'll give you a prescription, grab and eat a few and you'll be fine." Lin Jinhua said with a slight smile.
It was only then that the man remembered that Ms. Lin was once widely known as a genius doctor in the capital. Could it be that she really has such abilities, but she only glanced at him!
The yamen servants knew that Lin Jinhua had a good temper in the past few days, and when they saw this, they all stepped forward to ask for a pulse and a prescription.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the man who was dragged out next door. Under the candlelight, he could see the wounds all over his body, probably because he was beaten when he was arrested by the government.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "But you have to promise me that you will not beat Master Zhang until he is interrogated and convicted. After all, he saved my life."
No one dared to make trouble with her, apart from the Xu family, there was Prince Ning covering them up, wouldn't it be courting death if they couldn't get along with her, they hurriedly smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone loosened their grip on him, the man hurriedly retreated back to his corner, but the way he looked at Lin Jinhua was more colorful.
The rain was still falling unhurriedly. Gao Zhi caught a glimpse outside of Miss Lin patiently writing prescriptions for people, and then looked at the dumbfounded expressions of those yamen servants, and couldn't help curling his lips. , they didn't even get the treatment of Miss Lin taking the pulse in person, they were all fine.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly rushed over from outside, and when he reached the prison door, he asked, "Miss Lin is here?"
"Here, what's the matter?" He almost answered, seeing that it was the old man guarding the gate in the front yard, he said, "But something happened?"
"Ms. Lin, please come out, the son-in-law is in a hurry, and someone has already brought it, please ask Ms. Lin to take a look." The man said humanely.
The yamen servant didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he just turned to look at Lin Jinhua.Thinking of that elegant man, Lin Jinhua nodded, if she could win Duanhui to her side, it would be better than her continuing to help respectable people, and the son-in-law is not a bad person.
When she came out of the prison, she could feel that someone was following her in the dark, knowing that it was Gao Zhi, she felt relieved.
Soon they arrived at the courtyard where Mr. Zhang temporarily lived next door, and the lights inside were already brightly lit.
Mrs. Ling was waiting at the door in person. When she saw Lin Jinhua coming, she didn't even bother to open her umbrella, so she went up to her and said, "Miss Lin, this time you must save the son-in-law no matter what. I beg you."
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua knew that the son-in-law's situation must be very serious, but he was fine before, so why did it suddenly happen?
"I'll try my best……"
Mrs. Ling didn't seem to believe it when she heard the words, she just quietly took her hand and said, "What happened last time was my fault, Ms. Lin, I really can't do anything about it, I'm just a son-in-law..."
Lin Jinhua knew that she was talking about her reluctance to save her brother at the beginning. If something happened to her brother, she might not have taken action, but now that her brother is fine, the Ling family and Princess Duanhui are people who can only be wooed but not dealt with. , she will definitely try her best to save her.
"Old lady, don't worry, Jinhua won't let her die. Let's go in without delay," Lin Jinhua said.
Madam Ling nodded after hearing the words, but her heart was still uneasy.
Soon after arriving inside, Lin Jinhua thought that Duanhui would definitely stimulate her again, but she didn't expect to just sit on the side with red eyes, silent, as if she was insane.
Seeing Lin Jinhua approaching, Ling Weiye tugged at her sleeve and said in puzzlement, "I've been obedient, why did something happen to my father..."
Lin Jinhua looked at his terrified and self-blaming eyes, and regretted telling him that way.He only took his hand and walked to the side of the bed, looking at the man who passed out with a bandage wrapped around his left shoulder. The bandage was almost wet with blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Jinhua frowned: "Does the son-in-law have symptoms of unstoppable bleeding?"
"Yes." Mrs. Ling said hurriedly.
Lin Jinhua also felt that it was difficult, and stepped forward to feel his pulse. It was worse than last time, and there was still a slight pulse last time. If you are not careful this time, you can hardly feel the pulse.
She frowned slightly, and looked at the maid beside her: "Prepare the pen and ink immediately."
The maid didn't dare to delay, she immediately found a pen and ink to serve her.
Lin Jinhua personally picked up a pen and quickly wrote down two prescriptions for the medicine: "The first medicine was quickly ground into powder by the people in the shop, and the second medicine was immediately boiled on high fire after being picked up. Ten bowls of water were boiled into one bowl."
"Quick!" Mrs. Ling hurriedly said.
Doctor Lu on the side finally came out, glanced at the prescription, his expression was not very good, he looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Is this medicine too strong? The son-in-law's body is so weak, we should give priority to warming up..."
"If it's warming up, this life is gone. Why don't you try this strong medicine." Lin Jinyu looked at Lu Yuyi and said, she also understood Lu Yuyi, the lives of the nobles who served in the palace were all delicate, and the imperial doctors never used medicine. They all adopt gentle methods, for fear that the overpowering prescription will kill the nobleman, and if the nobleman loses his life, their lives will also be lost.
Seeing her firm gaze, Royal Physician Lu didn't try to persuade her any more.
Mrs. Ling couldn't stop crying when she heard this, and she had already started to make preparations.
Lin Jinhua comforted Ling Weiye who was trembling all over, listening to the drizzle outside, but thinking about Lin Jincheng who was rushing to the capital at the moment, brother, you must arrive in time!
Except for the official road paved with stones, the road outside the city was still muddy. In order to get to the capital as soon as possible, Lin Jincheng took a shortcut and walked on the muddy ground, but the horse had been running for two days and two nights, and was completely exhausted. With a wave of Lin Jincheng's whip, the horse knelt on its front hooves and fell heavily to the ground, only breathing heavily.
Lin Jincheng was also thrown down, looking at the exhausted horse, he wanted to help the horse up, but the horse could no longer run.
He wiped the rainwater from his face, threw down the whip, and ran forward quickly on foot, but the speed and stamina of a person are no match for a horse, and he will not be able to reach the capital the day after tomorrow with only these legs.
He ran until he had no strength, so he stopped. Looking at the dark and hopeless sky, he was unwilling and blamed himself. Now he was more desperate. Seeing that the woman he loved was about to marry someone else, he didn't even have a chance to see her. No.
Just when he was in despair, Mo Hua, who followed all the way, also sighed when he saw this scene, and quickly drove the horse to his side, then turned over and said: "Young master, ride my horse!"
Lin Jincheng looked at her: "What about you?"
"The capital is not far away, and the maidservant will meet you in the capital tomorrow." Mo Hua said with a smile.
Lin Jincheng took off his saber and gave it to her, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you should find a place to rest first, and I will pick you up in person tomorrow." After all, Mo Hua was just a woman.
Mo Hua smiled brightly and shook her head: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me, and I still have good kung fu, ordinary people can't hurt me."
Lin Jincheng gritted his teeth slightly, patted her on the shoulder, and quickly mounted his horse and headed for the capital.
Mo Hua watched his back leave, looked down at the saber he left for her, blinked, and walked forward.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping at all. Mo Feng had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time. When he saw a man chasing after him on a horse, he went up to him: "Mr. Lin..."
"It's you?" Lin Jincheng reined in, seeing that it was her, and said in surprise, "Jinhua, she..."
"Miss asked the servant to pick up the young master. Now there are many people watching outside the Wang family. The young lady asked the servant to tell the young master that if Miss Wang refuses to withdraw the engagement, the young master will simply take him away. The servant will prepare chariots and money for the young master. "
When Lin Jincheng heard this, his heart warmed slightly: "I see." After speaking, he walked quickly to Wang's house with her.
On the night of getting married, Wang Ruyan didn't sleep at all. She sat in front of the dressing table, wearing a bright red wedding dress, all the blue hair was scattered behind her, just waiting for the bride to come to do her makeup at dawn.What about Mr. Lin, what is he doing now, does he know that she is going to get married today?
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden noise from the window, and she turned her head. When she saw the person who appeared, her eyes immediately became hot.
"Lin..." Before Wang Ruyan finished speaking, she was pulled into a wet but hot embrace: "Marry me."
When Wang Ruyan heard this, all the grievances and forbearance seemed to be vented at this moment, tears poured down like rain, and she was so choked up that she couldn't make a sound.She used to think about his words in her dreams, but now that he really said them, it only pierced her heart.
"Jincheng..." After a while, she finally pushed him away, looking at his stunned and sad eyes, seeing the tall and handsome him in such a mess, it's not hard to imagine how anxious he was to rush back, but she No, she has already promised Mr. Tao, tomorrow is the wedding...
"You go, I won't marry you." Wang Ruyan turned her back to prevent him from seeing her pain and struggle.She was afraid, he was so good and perfect, how could she be worthy of him?If she married her, it would only cause him to be criticized, and he would never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Lin Jincheng looked at her slightly trembling body. He didn't know her pain. He just stepped forward and hugged her from behind, praying: "Yan'er, I will recognize you for the rest of my life. If you don't marry me, won't you marry me?" Do you want to watch me live alone forever?"
"But……"
"I do not care."
"I care. I care that I'm a broken flower, I care that my hands are stained with blood. Mr. Lin, you are so perfect. If I marry you, I will only feel inferior for the rest of my life, like a poor wretch struggling in the mud forever. Are you watching me torture myself to death like this?" Wang Ruyan purposely emphasized her words, she knew that he loved her, and the more she tortured herself, the more unbearable he would be, and the more he wanted to leave.
She felt very bad and disgusting at this moment, but she didn't want to drag him down.He is so good, how could he live alone all his life? He will have a bright future and a happy life.
Lin Jincheng was stunned, he had never felt this way about women before, he was on the battlefield all year round, and he didn't know that women like duplicity, he thought Ru Yan really hated him.
"Yan'er, you don't like me..."
"I used to like it, but now I only have my husband in my eyes." Wang Ruyan's heart was pierced, she only hoped that he would leave quickly, otherwise she was afraid that she would really turn around and throw herself into his arms.
Lin Jincheng's eyes were red, and a huge pain and hatred burst out from the bottom of his heart. For the first time, he had such hatred, hating that beast Zeng Xuehai!
The sky gradually brightened, and there were footsteps outside, and after a while, Mrs. Wang, who didn't know it, knocked on the door: "Yan'er, are you awake?"
Wang Ruyan took a long breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and replied softly: "Wake up."
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang opened the door and came in.
Seeing this situation, Mo Feng had no choice but to step forward and drag the dazed Lin Jincheng away.Miss Wang seems to be determined, even if she is taken away, she will not change her mind.
But how should the lady explain it?
Mo Feng is having a headache, and Lin Jinhua is also having a headache now.
After the ground medicine powder was delivered, it did stop the bleeding on the son-in-law's shoulder very quickly. After feeding the other pair, the son-in-law's pulse also recovered a little bit, but he never opened his eyes, as if his soul had drifted away. generally.
Ling Weiye held onto her hand tightly, stayed up all night, looked at her with reddened eyes: "Is Daddy dead?"
"No, but..." Lin Jinhua turned her head and glanced at Duanhui, who was in a daze, before she stepped forward and said, "Princess, the son-in-law doesn't seem to want to wake up, and only relatives can whisper in his ears." , I wonder if you can..."
Duanhui's eyes moved, but only tears came down: "Come here, go and invite my aunt."
Aunt?
Lin Jinhua raised her brows slightly, could it be that Duanhui is like this because the son-in-law married a new aunt.Moreover, it seems that Duan Hui's hand is probably responsible for the injury of the son-in-law, otherwise, how could she have lost her mind to this point, and she must have rushed to tear up that aunt.
Old Madam Ling came over, looked at Duan Hui and comforted her, "Princess, why don't you know what he's thinking? After all, the girl was rewarded by the emperor, and the son-in-law's life is all on your shoulders."
Hearing this, Duan Hui burst into tears.
Lin Jinhua didn't care about their housework, but now that it's dawn, her brother should have arrived last night, so what about Ruyan?Will you still get married today?
After thinking for a while, she turned her mind slightly, looked at Mrs. Ling and said, "I know that there is a way to summon souls from the National Teacher. If I go to the National Teacher's Mansion, I can discuss with the National Teacher as soon as possible." In this way, she can go to Wang's house... or Tao's house to have a look. If her brother's place fails, she will make a last effort.
Madam Ling's eyes brightened slightly, but Lin Jinhua is a suspect after all...
Before she could make a sound, Duanhui had already said, "Take Ben Gong's carriage."
Lin Jinhua let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and hoped everything would be done in time.
(End of this chapter)
In the afternoon, the sun suddenly became vicious, and I was already sweating profusely after running for a while.
When Guizhi watched Xue Wenxin being stripped of his clothes and thrown out, he knew that the talented person must not be able to keep him. Sure enough, it didn't take long before he heard the news of the gift of poisoned wine.
She hid outside the Yonghe Palace and did not dare to go back. If the honored person found out, she would never let her go. After thinking about it, she planned to go to Zhao Huaiyan, but when she turned to leave, she heard a familiar voice behind her. When it came, she suddenly felt that the heat in her body disappeared, leaving only fear.
She immediately turned around and knelt down: "My lord..."
"I didn't expect that you would collude with Jiacai, Guizhi, am I not good to you?" The nobleman looked at her indifferently, and he couldn't figure it out. He was not bad to her, and even trusted her. , let her take care of her.Ever since Lianqiao was killed, she knew that Guizhi must have betrayed her, especially since Lianqiao's body was still found in the dry well.
Guizhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his mouth was trembling slightly: "Madam, I don't want to harm you, I just want to use the hand of Jiacai to get rid of Lin Jinhua for you..."
"Is that so?" The respectable person still doesn't trust her now, he just raised his hand and ordered: "Take it down, Jiacai was given a glass of poisoned wine by the emperor, so give her a glass of poisoned wine too."
"Your Majesty!" Gui Zhi raised her head in astonishment, and an eunuch immediately stepped forward to hold her back.
The honored person no longer went to see her, but let someone carry the sedan chair back to the palace with a cold face.
When I got back to Yonghe Palace, I didn't feel well at all. After much deliberation, I slapped my palm heavily on the table: "This Gui Zhi, how can I treat her badly, she actually wants to betray me!"
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak out.
The respected person took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said: "Come here, go and watch Jiacai, and report back when she is completely dead."
Immediately a court lady responded.
The nobleman gritted his teeth slightly, remembering what happened today, and snorted coldly: "Go and find out who the maid of Naxinzheku is, she has such a great ability, and she designed it to come to the palace." Listen to Jingzhao Yin and Xu Chengqing's words, what happened yesterday and today is really a coincidence. It is too dangerous to have such a powerful person in the dark. If you can't use it for yourself, you must get rid of it to avoid future troubles!
What she didn't expect was that she had already been calculated.
There is more than one Jiacai person who harbors evil intentions in the palace, but anyone who gave birth to a prince will stare at the position above. They did not dare to act rashly before, because these women in the palace are deeply scheming and have nothing to do, but there is Jiacai The example of people and queens does not seem to be the case.
Sitting alone in the cold palace where Jiacai was executed, she looked at the poisonous wine in front of her and chuckled softly: "Is the emperor really so heartless?"
Eunuch An bowed to look at her, and said, "Your Majesty, let's get on the road earlier."
"Eunuch, for the sake of the Ninth Prince, let me stay alone for a while. Before sunset, I will drink this poisonous wine, so you won't be embarrassed." Jiacai's eyes were moist, but he still held back his tears.
Eunuch An was used to seeing all kinds of tragedies in the palace, for the sake of the Ninth Prince, he didn't do anything wrong with Jiacai, he just told him: "My lady, hurry up." go down.
The Jiacai people watched everyone leave, and then raised the corners of their lips sullenly.Since she can use Gu to make people use it, why wouldn't she be prepared for this day? It's just poisonous wine, but fortunately the emperor didn't give her a three-foot white silk.After thinking about it, he took out a darkened jade bottle from his sleeve, looked at it, opened the bottle cap resolutely, and swallowed the contents inside.
Outside the cold palace, people who respected the nobles arrived, and they heard a few court ladies talking in a low voice not far away.
"Jiacai will definitely not die."
"How could it be? It's poisonous wine, and the throat was sealed with blood." Another court lady said in surprise.
"Because I heard from Mr. Jiacai's father-in-law, Li Zi, that my mother has been guarding against this day. She has prepared a Gu worm that can fake death. After eating it, she will enter a state of suspended animation, and the poisonous wine is not Mr. An. Keeping an eye on those who drank it personally, maybe Jiacai will run away when the corpse is transported out..."
Hearing this, those who respected the nobleman looked into the cold palace and saw that Eunuch An and the eunuchs were really guarding outside the palace, their eyeballs rolled, and they hurriedly turned around and ran back to report.
As soon as she left, the two maids who had just spoken stopped talking, looked in the direction she was leaving, and left quickly.
In the Yonghe Palace, when the respected people heard this, they only said: "Is it true?"
"My servant heard it with my own ears. Although I have never seen this Gu worm, Mr. An and the others are indeed guarding outside the palace. I am afraid that they will not stare at Jiacai and drink that poisonous wine with their own eyes." The maid hurriedly road.
After hearing this, the nobleman sneered: "In that case, let her die again! I thought a glass of poisoned wine was too cheap for her. Now she brought it to her door, so I can't blame me."
When the sun was setting, Eunuch An, who was guarding outside the cold palace, was about to open the door to go in. He heard a crackling sound inside and felt bad. When he opened the door and went in, he saw that Jiacai had already fallen on the ground, and the wine on the ground was broken. The cup is already empty.
Seeing this, he stepped forward to feel his pulse, sighed slightly, and was only allowed to be carried down.
It was getting dark late in May, and even though the sun had completely set, the sky was still bright.
A few crows landed on the emerald green tiles on the palace wall and screamed. Looking at the corpses being transported from the palace to be cremated, they flapped their wings and flew over.
The eunuchs in charge are used to it, and the leading eunuch in charge of the cremation of the palace servants went directly to the straw mat that wrapped the Jiacai's corpse, and said: "After all, she is the birth mother of the Ninth Prince. Don't burn it with those lowly palace servants. , have someone move it to the car and follow me."
"This... I'm afraid it's against the rules." A little eunuch reminded.
The leader glared at him: "You're new here? There are so many mistakes in the palace, so be careful." After the warning, someone immediately took the corpse away.
Outside the palace at the moment.
Zhao Huaiyan's carriage was parked at the corner [-] meters outside the palace, he sat in the carriage and closed his eyes, not knowing what to think.
The attendant saw that someone had already come out, and said in a low voice, "My lord, someone has already come out."
Zhao Huaiyan slowly opened his eyes after hearing the words, looked at the sneaky eunuch through the curtain of the car, and asked in a low voice, "Who is he from?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him move before." The attendant was also puzzled.
Just as he was thinking, the eunuch called a large and comfortable carriage from nowhere, and ordered someone to carry Jiacai out of the straw mat, put him on the carriage, and said while moving: "Be careful Some, if you get hurt, the Ninth Prince will not spare you."
"Yes." The people below responded repeatedly.
Hearing this, Zhao Huaiyan felt a chill in his heart. Zhao Qing told him that his mother and concubine had no one to rely on in the palace, so she helped him make all kinds of arrangements. He never thought that he had already cultivated himself without telling him. people.
Seeing that Jiacai was about to be sent away, suddenly a group of men wearing the clothes of royal guards rushed out. Zhao Kan, the leader, was dressed in brocade and held a long sword. Cut!" After speaking, before the man could speak, the long sword cut down, and then looked at the others: "Get lost!"
Those people didn't dare to oppose Zhao Kan, so they hurriedly turned their heads and went back, and Zhao Kan let someone take Jiacai's body away.
In the dark, the attendant looked at Zhao Huaiyan, and asked softly, "My lord, do we not care?"
Zhao Huaiyan looked at Zhao Kan's leaving back indifferently, without speaking.She will not let herself and Jinhua go if she saves Jiacairen. If so, it depends on how capable she is, and how capable Zhao Qing is.
"Go to Jingzhao Mansion."
"Yes." Hearing the words, the attendant hurriedly sent someone to drive the carriage away.
Lin Jinhua sent Wang Ruyan away. When Wang Ruyan left, she hesitated to speak. Lin Jinhua knew that she still wanted to ask about her brother, but she seemed to be more obsessed with feeling that she was not good enough for her brother, this silly girl.
A yamen servant came to light candles, brought an exquisite dinner, and smiled cautiously: "Miss Lin, is there anything else you need?"
"No need." Seeing how respectful they were, Lin Jinhua must have known that she would not be locked up for long.Hexiang, the plaintiff, has also gone to prison. Once something happens to Jiacai, Mrs. Yan will definitely not continue to pester her, not to mention that Huaiyan has already appeared in the public eye, and those who want to get involved in the dark will definitely stop. After thinking about it, when Mr. Zhang goes to investigate without hindrance, the truth will be found out soon.
Just as she was thinking, she heard the voice of greetings from outside, and then she looked up, the person in black brocade was none other than Zhao Huaiyan.
"My lord." She smiled and stood up.
Zhao Huaiyan saw that his complexion was a little bad, and said softly: "Don't worry."
"Well, the prince is here, so I'm not worried." Lin Jinhua's eyes were bent like a crescent moon, and Zhao Huaiyan's heavy heart suddenly relaxed when he saw it.It was the same when I first met her... But the first meeting at Zhao Kan's wedding in the previous life was not considered the first meeting. He had seen her when she was a child. You can recognize her at the first sight, and she won't suffer so much in her previous life.
"What is the prince thinking?" Seeing him making a sound, Lin Jinhua raised her hand and waved in front of his eyes, but the next second her hand was held by his slightly rough but warm palm.
"My lord..."
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her deeply, eyes full of tenderness and happiness: "I'm thinking of you."
Lin Jinhua's ears felt slightly hot, and she didn't know how to respond.
The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's mouth curled up unknowingly, which softened his cold facial features. This way he was different from before, like a handsome young man on the street, and like a jade in troubled times, gentle and calm, which made Lin Jinhua feel a little crazy.
"My lord, there is a secret letter urgently sent from eight hundred miles away."
A guard rushed in from the outside, Gao Zhi helplessly raised his forehead, and glared at the messenger. At this moment, he didn't dare to breathe heavily, and he actually came running and yelling loudly.
The guard who was stared at was a little puzzled, and asked him in a low voice: "Guard Gao, what's the matter?"
Gao Zhi was speechless and choked, brat, you ruined your prince's good deeds, Miss Lin was about to fall into the prince's gentle trap.
Sure enough, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lin Jinhua's face was flushed, and she didn't know what to say, so she quickly withdrew her hand.
Zhao Huaiyan also turned into an ordinary look, with a stern face, hands resting lightly behind his back, and a faint glance at Gao Tian.
Gao Jie hurriedly lowered his head: "My lord, why don't you go back and deal with it first?"
"My lord, let's go back first, nothing will happen here." Lin Jinhua hurriedly smiled.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the appearance of red clouds floating on her fair little face, did she look insanely at her just now, so to speak, she seemed to be very satisfied with her appearance.
Zhao Huaiyan hid a smile in his eyes and said, "I'll go first."
"En." Lin Jinhua nodded, and Zhao Huaiyan turned around and walked away.
Gao Tian glared at the stupid guard again, and then hastily followed.
Seeing that everyone had left and the cell was quiet, Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the small bed on one side. Looking at the moonlight slowly coming out of the window, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.Only after reliving the whole life can I realize that someone can love deeply, and that the person I love deeply loves me with the same passion, which is such a happy thing.
Huaiyan, we will all be fine in this lifetime, right...
She looked at the moonlight outside the window and made a heartfelt wish before she fell asleep slowly.
With the sound of frogs croaking, in the small tavern outside Jingzhao Mansion, the boss waited attentively on the rich man who had spent the whole night, and said with a smile: "Our shop also has a top-notch daughter Hong..."
"No need, my lord is not here to drink. Shopkeeper, you just wait here, my lord has something to ask you." The boy said directly.
Hearing the words, the innkeeper was also savvy, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Yes, yes, you can ask Mr. Tao if you have anything to say, and the little ones will know everything, and you can say everything."
"Master Zhang often comes here to drink?"
"That's right, Mr. Zhang likes the wine made by small ones." The shopkeeper was a little proud.
Tao Mou glanced at him indifferently, threw a silver ingot weighing five taels to him, and said, "Did Mr. Zhang ever say anything about the case of Miss Lin in prison?"
When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he said directly: "I said so."
"How is the case?"
"It's probably wrong to say that, it will be released soon." The shopkeeper said again.
"How long?" Tao Mou continued.
The shopkeeper looked at him with some embarrassment: "This..."
Tao Mou was not in a hurry, and threw another silver ingot of the same weight to him.
The shopkeeper saw it, and said quickly: "It will take two or three days to go to the countryside to collect evidence, and then come back, it should not exceed five days in total."
"Five days..." Tao Mou got the result, and then sent the shopkeeper out.
After the shopkeeper left, the servant on the side looked at him and said, "My lord, what do you think?"
"I went to see Lin Jinhua on purpose today. Even if Yan'er wants to marry me, she doesn't seem to be very willing." Tao Mou stood up and looked in the direction of the Jingzhao Mansion prison.
Hearing this, the little servant asked nervously, "Then, does your lord want Lin Jinhua to stay in prison forever?"
Tao Mou chuckled: "No, now that so many people are protecting her, I can't afford to offend her. Since there are still five days left, we can only advance the wedding date. When she gets out of prison, I can do whatever I want to do." It's too late, I just wronged Yan'er." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the young servant: "Go to the fortune-telling teacher and ask her to advance the wedding date, and give her as much money as you want."
The boy saw that his lord really wanted to marry that young lady of the Wang family, so he was a little bit unwilling for him: "My lord, is that young lady of the Wang family worth your effort? After all, she has already been given to..."
"Snapped--!"
Before the boy could finish speaking, Tao Mou, who was usually gentle and refined, had already slapped him hard on the face, and then said in a cold voice: "If I hear you say no to Yan'er in the future, I will kill you .”
The boy hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and Tao Mou snorted softly: "Then why don't you go to work?"
The boy didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly turned his head away.
The night passed.
When the morning sun shone in, Lin Jinhua could clearly feel that someone was staring at her. His eyes were cold and eerie, making her feel as if a poisonous snake had climbed up her back, as if she was about to face her in the next second. Biting her neck hard.
She woke up suddenly and sat up immediately, only to realize that the gaze came from the cell next door.
Lin Jinhua looked at him, but he just huddled in a dark corner. When she saw him, he laughed strangely, his voice seemed to come from hell.
Just when Lin Jinhua was trying to remember who this person was, the yamen servant hurried over, knocked hard on the cell door and scolded, "Why are you making such a fuss, if you continue to make a fuss, I will drag you down and give you another fifty lashes!"
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she realized that this man seemed to be covered in blood, his face was also covered in blood, and his body was also covered in blood. It was very hideous.
Seeing that Lin Jinhua had also woken up, the yamen servant hurried over and apologized, "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry, this is the only spare cell left. This person is very dangerous and sucks human blood. If you don't lock him up alone , for fear of hurting other prisoners. If he disturbs you, you tell the little ones, and the little ones immediately pull him down and cut off his tongue, anyway, he is full of evil." After finishing speaking, the yamen servant spat.
Lin Jinhua looked at the man's gaze, she didn't know him before, but she always felt that there was something else besides the gloomy.
"Who is he?" she asked.
"I don't know his identity, but when our people saw him early this morning, he had killed several members of the acrobatic troupe. Seeing that he walks on all fours, he must be a savage raised by the acrobatic troupe," said the yamen servant. After that, someone called him again, and he looked at Lin Jinhua apologetically.
Lin Jinhua didn't make things difficult for him, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, you can go."
The yamen servant hurriedly responded.
As soon as the people left, the breakfast was delivered, and Lin Jinhua didn't ask any more questions, and sat at the table to eat breakfast with peace of mind.
However, she had heard about the acrobatic troupe raising monkeys and other spiritual objects for performances. This person can't even walk, I'm afraid the acrobatic troupe deliberately trained it like this.
She was halfway through eating, and found that the gaze before was even colder, and there was a low growl of a beast.
Lin Jinhua turned her head and saw that he was still squatting in the darkness, but staring straight at the bun in her hand, paused, and asked him, "Do you want to eat?"
He growled even louder.
Seeing this, Lin Jinhua only took the remaining three buns, made a bowl of clear porridge and slowly passed them over. Seeing that he still didn't come over, she just pretended to be sleepy, turned around and lay down on the bed again, and then she caught sight of him from the corner of her eye He tentatively walked over slowly, took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and saw that there was no danger, so he ate it voraciously. The posture of eating was indeed like a wild beast.
Lin Jinhua's eyes were dull, she closed her eyes and stopped looking, only thinking about what Wang Ruyan said about Lin Duan earlier.He didn't have time to find out who his secret master was. Could it be that he was ordered by his master to return to Beijing this time?
Lin Jinhua sighed heavily in her heart. Hearing the sound of wheezing and drinking porridge from the next door, the corners of her mouth curled up, thinking about her own business seriously.
Soon, my brother will be back too.
He didn't spread the news about Lin Jincheng's return to the capital. After all, he had the experience last time and knew that there were still many people in the capital who wanted him dead.
After riding the horse all night, he only rested a little when he reached the small town.
Mo Hua came back after inquiring about the news from the outside, and seeing him reading military books, she said with a smile: "Young Master, you keep reading military books on the way to and from, so you should take a rest, otherwise, when you return to Beijing tomorrow, where do you find the strength to meet Miss Wang. "
Lin Jincheng's face turned red when he heard this, and he only smiled and glanced at her: "Did you find out? When will Zheng Lai return to Beijing?"
"It's been just a few days. During the time he was away from the capital, so many things happened in the capital. When he comes back this time, he might not be able to bear it." Mo Hua sat on one side with a smile.
Lin Jincheng didn't believe it: "Zheng Lai is not as sentimental as you think. Mrs. Zheng is his biological mother, so he may still be a little sad, but for his daughter Zheng Ruyi, I'm afraid he won't be too sad." Lin Jincheng remembered Zheng Ruyi, thinking of the amazement and admiration when she first met her, was somewhat embarrassed.
Mo Hua thinks about Zheng Lai's character, and it is indeed the case. This person is surly and violent, and likes to kill, I am afraid it is true.
After thinking about it, he didn't ask any more questions, but said: "Let's rest for two hours before we go on our way, otherwise the horse won't be able to bear it."
"Yes." Lin Jincheng nodded.
The two of them finished their meal and were about to go upstairs to rest when they heard merchants from the capital talking loudly.
"Have you heard that the young lady of the Wang family who has been insulted and innocent in the capital is about to marry Mr. Tao, the new fifth-rank magistrate of Yuzhou?"
"Mr. Tao has a bright future, why did he marry such an unclean woman?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because Mr. Tao is just a concubine, and Miss Wang's father is a first-rank censor after all."
A few people laughed and said, there was no doubt that there was no contempt in their tone.
Mo Hua had a bad heart, before he could hold Lin Jincheng back, he had already run up to those people and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"who are you……"
Lin Jincheng directly pulled out the saber from his waist, his originally gentle face was full of murderous looks: "Say, Yan'er...what's wrong with Ms. Wang?"
"She is engaged to Mr. Tao and will be married soon..." The merchant hurriedly said when he saw the shining sword.
"She ruined her innocence, so what's going on?" Lin Jincheng felt like a knife was twisting his heart when he said these words. How could a simple person like Ru Yan have his innocence ruined? Who would dare to do this!
The merchants looked at each other strangely, then looked at him and said, "You don't know? Just over two months ago, that Miss Wang was deprived of her innocence by Mr. Zeng's family..."
Lin Jincheng couldn't understand a word of what was said later. Was it when he just left the capital more than two months ago?
Seeing such a scene, Mo Hua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord..."
"Go prepare the horse, I want to return to Beijing immediately."
"But son, the capital probably isn't ready yet!" Mo Hua wanted him to calm down before talking, and their horses had been running for so long overnight, and if they continued running, they might be exhausted on the road, but he Before he finished speaking, Lin Jincheng turned around and went out. When Mo Hua arrived, he had already mounted his horse and headed towards the capital.
She sighed helplessly, and only asked the shopkeeper to quickly change a horse for her before chasing after her.
In the capital, Wang Ruyan didn't know that Lin Jincheng was coming soon.
When Mrs. Wang came, she sat upright in front of the mirror and looked at her face.
The sunny day slowly gathered dark clouds, and the new girl was still muttering: "The day has changed again. It was fine in the morning, but now it looks like it's going to rain."
Mrs. Wang sent them all out, and then looked at Wang Ruyan with distress, and said: "Yan'er, have you really decided? You are in such a hurry, I'm afraid you will be wronged if you don't have time to prepare."
Wang Ruyan lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "Mother, it's a blessing for Yan'er to be treated like this by Mr. Tao. Why do you want to be beautiful?" She doesn't want to be beautiful at all. I don't want the scenery either.She is willing to live on, and is willing to marry and have children according to the rules of the world, all because her brother will die soon, if something happens to her again, what will her parents do?
She didn't dare to think too much, and didn't dare to have other thoughts.
Mrs. Wang watched her tears fall slowly, and then hugged her in her arms distressedly: "My poor Yan'er, it's all my mother's fault..."
"Mother, I don't blame you." If you want to blame, blame the elder brother who has been extremely selfish from the beginning to the end.
"But...tomorrow is the wedding day. Although the teacher said that tomorrow is an auspicious day, there will be auspicious days in the next month, and the next month. Yan'er, how about we wait for next month?"
The figure that appeared at the door was no longer tall, Wang Ruyan raised her eyes to look at her father, who was only fifty years old with frosty temples, and chuckled softly: "Father, my daughter doesn't feel wronged, Young Master Tao is going to take office in Yuzhou soon, Yan'er Marry him, and just follow him to Yuzhou." How could she bear to stay in the Wang family, as long as she was here, her parents would feel guilty and blame themselves, if she was here all the time, they would never have peace.
Wang Yushi sighed deeply: "It's all your brother's fault, that unworthy bastard!"
"Father, don't blame him. He is seriously ill now. I will tell him the news in a while, so as to make him happy." Wang Ruyan laughed.
Mrs. Wang looked at her with red eyes, feeling extremely sad.
After noon, the cool wind swept away all the heat in the morning, and the drizzle also fell down.
When Wang Ruyan arrived at Wang Huiyuan's courtyard, she heard curses from inside: "Get out, trash."
The maids hurriedly backed out, their faces still bruised, and when they saw her coming, they quickly saluted.
Wang Ruyan saw it and said softly, "Go down and get some medicine."
"Yes." The maids gave her a grateful look, and then hastily retreated.
After everyone left, Wang Ruyan put down the paper umbrella in her hand, asked her maids to wait in the corridor, and walked in alone.
As soon as he entered the room, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol inside. Wang Huiyuan was sitting on the ground leaning against the bed, drinking alcohol one after another drunkenly.
Seeing someone coming in again, just about to vent her dissatisfaction, she raised her head and found that it was her, and her tone softened: "Ru Yan, why are you here?"
"Come and say good news to big brother."
"Announcement?"
"I'm going to get married tomorrow, Mr. Tao." Wang Ruyan said calmly.
After finishing speaking, Wang Huiyuan frowned: "You marry him? He is not a good thing, just a concubine, and he married you just to cling to our Wang family. Ru Yan, listen to your elder brother, he will definitely find you a From a nice family."
"A good family? A good family like Zeng Xuehai?" Wang Ruyan looked at the wine on the side, but laughed instead: "Brother, you should drink less, otherwise the poison in your body will attack quickly."
Wang Huiyuan was taken aback, thinking he heard it wrong: "Poison? What kind of poison?"
"What do you think, brother?" Wang Ruyan looked at him silently: "If it wasn't for you, why would I want to marry someone I don't love, why my parents would not be happy all day long, and why the Wang family would be so gloomy? It's all because of you. .”
Wang Huiyuan shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up, but then he heard Wang Ruyan say: "When I held Yingtang dead in the water, I was terrified. I have never killed anyone, never harmed anyone. Who, but brother, what did I do wrong?"
"Ruyan, you actually..." Wang Huiyuan couldn't believe it. It turned out that Yingtang didn't die to save her, but was killed by her.
"You thought it was for my own good, so you stepped me into the dust so that I could match Zeng Xuehai...Brother, you really love me." Wang Ruyan felt sore in her heart. Looking at Wang Huiyuan's unbelievable eyes, her eyes slowly gathered. Tears came, when she heard herself say these words, she was willing to believe that this was her present self, not only her body was not pure, but her heart was also not pure.
Wang Huiyuan looked at her tears, stood up slowly with the edge of the bed, looked at her and said softly: "Ru Yan, I didn't know you would resist so much, I didn't mean it, I was just for your own good..."
"Then it's for my own good, brother, go die. If you don't die, parents will always feel guilty, and I will never forget Yingtang's blood on my hands, and I will never forget that my own brother sent me to the place of that disgusting man." You can be insulted on the bed." Wang Ruyan couldn't help but shed tears slowly, watching Wang Huiyuan growl in a low voice.She had suppressed it for too long, and she didn't dare to let her true emotions show. She had nightmares every night, dreaming of that hellish night.
Wang Huiyuan looked at the murderous intent in her eyes, his body shook slightly, and he fell down on the bed behind him.
Seeing him like this, Wang Ruyan closed her eyes deeply, then turned and left without saying a word.
Tomorrow is the big wedding. At the very least, she has to prepare her wedding dress so that Young Master Tao can't be too ugly.
The drizzle was light, falling silently on the ground.
When Mo Feng told the news, Lin Jinhua couldn't believe it: "We're getting married tomorrow?"
"Well, it seems that the mistress of Changle Temple came to the capital in person to explain that today is the best auspicious day, and today the queen mother's edict has also come down, canonizing Miss Wang as the county head, Master Huijue released early in the morning that Miss Wang is a jade girl The news is that there is no objection to the big wedding now," Mo Feng said.
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly: "What about Ruyan, is she really willing?"
Mo Feng looked at her worriedly, but still nodded: "The maidservant and Miss Biao have personally asked, and Mrs. Wang also said that Miss Wang is really willing to marry."
Lin Jinhua suddenly felt a little powerless, she was trapped here and couldn't get out...
She suddenly thought of Tao Mou from yesterday, could it be that he deliberately brought up the wedding date?But he probably didn't know about Ru Yan and her elder brother, did he know about it a long time ago, but kept it in his heart and never said it?
"When will brother come back?"
"Mo Hua has already sent a letter to the pigeon, saying that the young master has learned about Miss Wang, and has already rushed to the road immediately, and he may be able to arrive tonight." Mo Feng said.
Hearing this, Lin Jinhua became more and more worried: "If my guess is right, there must be Tao Mou people around the palace. You go to pick up your brother personally tonight. After you pick him up, tell him to calm down and not act impulsively." If Ruyan insists on marrying Tao Mou..." Lin Jinhua sighed slightly: "It's really impossible, you let him kidnap Ruyan and run away." The big deal is that the Lin family's family name is not important, brother's lifetime happiness is better than these false names important.The two of them found a place to hide their names and live a peaceful life.
When Mo Feng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, taking people away is the lady's usual style of doing things.
"How about Mo Yue?" Lin Jinhua asked after talking about it, "Have you found any news about Lin Duan?"
"Investigating, the sixth son has come to his senses, he said he must see the lady, he has something very important to tell you personally." Mo Feng said.
Lin Jinhua nodded: "Bring him to see me later, depending on Mr. Zhang's speed, I'm afraid it will take a few days before I get out of this prison."
Mo Feng nodded, knowing that Gao Tian had been guarding outside the prison, so he withdrew.
Not long after, the yamen servant brought dinner, because Gao Zhi had prepared it specially, and he personally brought the food directly from the best restaurant in the capital. Five meat, three vegetables and one soup, just opening the food box, was enough The greedy servants are drooling.
Lin Jinhua was not stingy either, she kept one meat and one vegetable for herself, and gave them everything else.
After the yamen servants had left, she glanced at the person next door with a cat lying motionless in a dark corner, took out a bowl of half-divided food and handed it over, then sat at the table and began to eat by herself, but when she thought of Wang Ruyan, she immediately went to bed. I was about to get married, but felt that I had no appetite, so I ate some hastily and stopped.
"Bang bang..."
Not long after, there was a banging sound on the cell door from the next door.
Lin Jinhua didn't pay much attention, but the yamen servant scolded: "What are you arguing about! If you keep arguing, I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
The man seemed to be able to understand people's words, and beat the prison door harder and harder.
"Hey, you're still stubborn with me! Someone, drag him out and beat him with thirty lashes. Anyway, he's tough, and he can't be beaten to death!" After the leading yamen servant finished speaking, he took the key to open the door. Only then did Lin Jinhua turn his head, But he found that the man was yelling at him continuously...
No, he growled behind him.
Lin Jinhua subconsciously turned around and took a step back, and suddenly saw in a damp corner, a crimson snake had already meandered and crawled towards him, constantly spitting dangerous messages at him.
She was busy touching the wax pills in her sleeves, only to realize that she had used up all of them when she dealt with Marquis Dingnan last time. This snake should have crawled out of the window in the rain these few days. I'm afraid I will be bitten to death by this snake.
"Come on..." she said softly.
The yamen guards in the next cell who had already caught that person and planned to drag her out heard, and hurriedly asked her, "Miss Lin, what's the matter?"
"snake……"
She said softly, and the yamen servants looked in front of her. When they saw the red snake, they suddenly widened their eyes and walked over cautiously.One of them was good at kung fu, carefully pinched the dart, and when the snake flashed forward to bite Lin Jinhua, the dart flashed and broke the snake into two pieces, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jinhua also felt like she was sweating on her back.Just now the red snake looked very poisonous, not to mention that she had no time to heal herself, when she asked someone to buy the medicine, she also died from the poison, if she lived a new life, if she fell on this little snake , It's really too bad.
She leaned on the wall to stand firm, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It seems that there are still a lot of snakes and insects here."
"This is a prison cell, there is really no way..."
"Go and buy some medicine for me." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she glanced at the person who had just thrown the darts, and said, "Do you always feel unwell and have joint pain these days?"
"Miss Lin knows?" the yamen servant asked in surprise.
"I'll give you a prescription, grab and eat a few and you'll be fine." Lin Jinhua said with a slight smile.
It was only then that the man remembered that Ms. Lin was once widely known as a genius doctor in the capital. Could it be that she really has such abilities, but she only glanced at him!
The yamen servants knew that Lin Jinhua had a good temper in the past few days, and when they saw this, they all stepped forward to ask for a pulse and a prescription.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the man who was dragged out next door. Under the candlelight, he could see the wounds all over his body, probably because he was beaten when he was arrested by the government.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "But you have to promise me that you will not beat Master Zhang until he is interrogated and convicted. After all, he saved my life."
No one dared to make trouble with her, apart from the Xu family, there was Prince Ning covering them up, wouldn't it be courting death if they couldn't get along with her, they hurriedly smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone loosened their grip on him, the man hurriedly retreated back to his corner, but the way he looked at Lin Jinhua was more colorful.
The rain was still falling unhurriedly. Gao Zhi caught a glimpse outside of Miss Lin patiently writing prescriptions for people, and then looked at the dumbfounded expressions of those yamen servants, and couldn't help curling his lips. , they didn't even get the treatment of Miss Lin taking the pulse in person, they were all fine.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly rushed over from outside, and when he reached the prison door, he asked, "Miss Lin is here?"
"Here, what's the matter?" He almost answered, seeing that it was the old man guarding the gate in the front yard, he said, "But something happened?"
"Ms. Lin, please come out, the son-in-law is in a hurry, and someone has already brought it, please ask Ms. Lin to take a look." The man said humanely.
The yamen servant didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he just turned to look at Lin Jinhua.Thinking of that elegant man, Lin Jinhua nodded, if she could win Duanhui to her side, it would be better than her continuing to help respectable people, and the son-in-law is not a bad person.
When she came out of the prison, she could feel that someone was following her in the dark, knowing that it was Gao Zhi, she felt relieved.
Soon they arrived at the courtyard where Mr. Zhang temporarily lived next door, and the lights inside were already brightly lit.
Mrs. Ling was waiting at the door in person. When she saw Lin Jinhua coming, she didn't even bother to open her umbrella, so she went up to her and said, "Miss Lin, this time you must save the son-in-law no matter what. I beg you."
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua knew that the son-in-law's situation must be very serious, but he was fine before, so why did it suddenly happen?
"I'll try my best……"
Mrs. Ling didn't seem to believe it when she heard the words, she just quietly took her hand and said, "What happened last time was my fault, Ms. Lin, I really can't do anything about it, I'm just a son-in-law..."
Lin Jinhua knew that she was talking about her reluctance to save her brother at the beginning. If something happened to her brother, she might not have taken action, but now that her brother is fine, the Ling family and Princess Duanhui are people who can only be wooed but not dealt with. , she will definitely try her best to save her.
"Old lady, don't worry, Jinhua won't let her die. Let's go in without delay," Lin Jinhua said.
Madam Ling nodded after hearing the words, but her heart was still uneasy.
Soon after arriving inside, Lin Jinhua thought that Duanhui would definitely stimulate her again, but she didn't expect to just sit on the side with red eyes, silent, as if she was insane.
Seeing Lin Jinhua approaching, Ling Weiye tugged at her sleeve and said in puzzlement, "I've been obedient, why did something happen to my father..."
Lin Jinhua looked at his terrified and self-blaming eyes, and regretted telling him that way.He only took his hand and walked to the side of the bed, looking at the man who passed out with a bandage wrapped around his left shoulder. The bandage was almost wet with blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Jinhua frowned: "Does the son-in-law have symptoms of unstoppable bleeding?"
"Yes." Mrs. Ling said hurriedly.
Lin Jinhua also felt that it was difficult, and stepped forward to feel his pulse. It was worse than last time, and there was still a slight pulse last time. If you are not careful this time, you can hardly feel the pulse.
She frowned slightly, and looked at the maid beside her: "Prepare the pen and ink immediately."
The maid didn't dare to delay, she immediately found a pen and ink to serve her.
Lin Jinhua personally picked up a pen and quickly wrote down two prescriptions for the medicine: "The first medicine was quickly ground into powder by the people in the shop, and the second medicine was immediately boiled on high fire after being picked up. Ten bowls of water were boiled into one bowl."
"Quick!" Mrs. Ling hurriedly said.
Doctor Lu on the side finally came out, glanced at the prescription, his expression was not very good, he looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Is this medicine too strong? The son-in-law's body is so weak, we should give priority to warming up..."
"If it's warming up, this life is gone. Why don't you try this strong medicine." Lin Jinyu looked at Lu Yuyi and said, she also understood Lu Yuyi, the lives of the nobles who served in the palace were all delicate, and the imperial doctors never used medicine. They all adopt gentle methods, for fear that the overpowering prescription will kill the nobleman, and if the nobleman loses his life, their lives will also be lost.
Seeing her firm gaze, Royal Physician Lu didn't try to persuade her any more.
Mrs. Ling couldn't stop crying when she heard this, and she had already started to make preparations.
Lin Jinhua comforted Ling Weiye who was trembling all over, listening to the drizzle outside, but thinking about Lin Jincheng who was rushing to the capital at the moment, brother, you must arrive in time!
Except for the official road paved with stones, the road outside the city was still muddy. In order to get to the capital as soon as possible, Lin Jincheng took a shortcut and walked on the muddy ground, but the horse had been running for two days and two nights, and was completely exhausted. With a wave of Lin Jincheng's whip, the horse knelt on its front hooves and fell heavily to the ground, only breathing heavily.
Lin Jincheng was also thrown down, looking at the exhausted horse, he wanted to help the horse up, but the horse could no longer run.
He wiped the rainwater from his face, threw down the whip, and ran forward quickly on foot, but the speed and stamina of a person are no match for a horse, and he will not be able to reach the capital the day after tomorrow with only these legs.
He ran until he had no strength, so he stopped. Looking at the dark and hopeless sky, he was unwilling and blamed himself. Now he was more desperate. Seeing that the woman he loved was about to marry someone else, he didn't even have a chance to see her. No.
Just when he was in despair, Mo Hua, who followed all the way, also sighed when he saw this scene, and quickly drove the horse to his side, then turned over and said: "Young master, ride my horse!"
Lin Jincheng looked at her: "What about you?"
"The capital is not far away, and the maidservant will meet you in the capital tomorrow." Mo Hua said with a smile.
Lin Jincheng took off his saber and gave it to her, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you should find a place to rest first, and I will pick you up in person tomorrow." After all, Mo Hua was just a woman.
Mo Hua smiled brightly and shook her head: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me, and I still have good kung fu, ordinary people can't hurt me."
Lin Jincheng gritted his teeth slightly, patted her on the shoulder, and quickly mounted his horse and headed for the capital.
Mo Hua watched his back leave, looked down at the saber he left for her, blinked, and walked forward.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping at all. Mo Feng had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time. When he saw a man chasing after him on a horse, he went up to him: "Mr. Lin..."
"It's you?" Lin Jincheng reined in, seeing that it was her, and said in surprise, "Jinhua, she..."
"Miss asked the servant to pick up the young master. Now there are many people watching outside the Wang family. The young lady asked the servant to tell the young master that if Miss Wang refuses to withdraw the engagement, the young master will simply take him away. The servant will prepare chariots and money for the young master. "
When Lin Jincheng heard this, his heart warmed slightly: "I see." After speaking, he walked quickly to Wang's house with her.
On the night of getting married, Wang Ruyan didn't sleep at all. She sat in front of the dressing table, wearing a bright red wedding dress, all the blue hair was scattered behind her, just waiting for the bride to come to do her makeup at dawn.What about Mr. Lin, what is he doing now, does he know that she is going to get married today?
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden noise from the window, and she turned her head. When she saw the person who appeared, her eyes immediately became hot.
"Lin..." Before Wang Ruyan finished speaking, she was pulled into a wet but hot embrace: "Marry me."
When Wang Ruyan heard this, all the grievances and forbearance seemed to be vented at this moment, tears poured down like rain, and she was so choked up that she couldn't make a sound.She used to think about his words in her dreams, but now that he really said them, it only pierced her heart.
"Jincheng..." After a while, she finally pushed him away, looking at his stunned and sad eyes, seeing the tall and handsome him in such a mess, it's not hard to imagine how anxious he was to rush back, but she No, she has already promised Mr. Tao, tomorrow is the wedding...
"You go, I won't marry you." Wang Ruyan turned her back to prevent him from seeing her pain and struggle.She was afraid, he was so good and perfect, how could she be worthy of him?If she married her, it would only cause him to be criticized, and he would never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Lin Jincheng looked at her slightly trembling body. He didn't know her pain. He just stepped forward and hugged her from behind, praying: "Yan'er, I will recognize you for the rest of my life. If you don't marry me, won't you marry me?" Do you want to watch me live alone forever?"
"But……"
"I do not care."
"I care. I care that I'm a broken flower, I care that my hands are stained with blood. Mr. Lin, you are so perfect. If I marry you, I will only feel inferior for the rest of my life, like a poor wretch struggling in the mud forever. Are you watching me torture myself to death like this?" Wang Ruyan purposely emphasized her words, she knew that he loved her, and the more she tortured herself, the more unbearable he would be, and the more he wanted to leave.
She felt very bad and disgusting at this moment, but she didn't want to drag him down.He is so good, how could he live alone all his life? He will have a bright future and a happy life.
Lin Jincheng was stunned, he had never felt this way about women before, he was on the battlefield all year round, and he didn't know that women like duplicity, he thought Ru Yan really hated him.
"Yan'er, you don't like me..."
"I used to like it, but now I only have my husband in my eyes." Wang Ruyan's heart was pierced, she only hoped that he would leave quickly, otherwise she was afraid that she would really turn around and throw herself into his arms.
Lin Jincheng's eyes were red, and a huge pain and hatred burst out from the bottom of his heart. For the first time, he had such hatred, hating that beast Zeng Xuehai!
The sky gradually brightened, and there were footsteps outside, and after a while, Mrs. Wang, who didn't know it, knocked on the door: "Yan'er, are you awake?"
Wang Ruyan took a long breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and replied softly: "Wake up."
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang opened the door and came in.
Seeing this situation, Mo Feng had no choice but to step forward and drag the dazed Lin Jincheng away.Miss Wang seems to be determined, even if she is taken away, she will not change her mind.
But how should the lady explain it?
Mo Feng is having a headache, and Lin Jinhua is also having a headache now.
After the ground medicine powder was delivered, it did stop the bleeding on the son-in-law's shoulder very quickly. After feeding the other pair, the son-in-law's pulse also recovered a little bit, but he never opened his eyes, as if his soul had drifted away. generally.
Ling Weiye held onto her hand tightly, stayed up all night, looked at her with reddened eyes: "Is Daddy dead?"
"No, but..." Lin Jinhua turned her head and glanced at Duanhui, who was in a daze, before she stepped forward and said, "Princess, the son-in-law doesn't seem to want to wake up, and only relatives can whisper in his ears." , I wonder if you can..."
Duanhui's eyes moved, but only tears came down: "Come here, go and invite my aunt."
Aunt?
Lin Jinhua raised her brows slightly, could it be that Duanhui is like this because the son-in-law married a new aunt.Moreover, it seems that Duan Hui's hand is probably responsible for the injury of the son-in-law, otherwise, how could she have lost her mind to this point, and she must have rushed to tear up that aunt.
Old Madam Ling came over, looked at Duan Hui and comforted her, "Princess, why don't you know what he's thinking? After all, the girl was rewarded by the emperor, and the son-in-law's life is all on your shoulders."
Hearing this, Duan Hui burst into tears.
Lin Jinhua didn't care about their housework, but now that it's dawn, her brother should have arrived last night, so what about Ruyan?Will you still get married today?
After thinking for a while, she turned her mind slightly, looked at Mrs. Ling and said, "I know that there is a way to summon souls from the National Teacher. If I go to the National Teacher's Mansion, I can discuss with the National Teacher as soon as possible." In this way, she can go to Wang's house... or Tao's house to have a look. If her brother's place fails, she will make a last effort.
Madam Ling's eyes brightened slightly, but Lin Jinhua is a suspect after all...
Before she could make a sound, Duanhui had already said, "Take Ben Gong's carriage."
Lin Jinhua let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and hoped everything would be done in time.
