Nong Hua Makeup

Chapter 88 Choice
Huijue just came back from the palace. When he thought of the questions the queen mother asked when he was called into the palace yesterday, he felt uneasy. The fighting among the concubines in the palace would never stop. , it is inevitable to be used by those women in the palace to harm each other, such as the lady Li who was waiting for him at the gate of the palace early this morning...

As he thought about these things, the carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.

"My lord, it is the carriage of the Princess Mansion."

He was about to get off the carriage when he heard the boy say.

Huijue immediately stopped and turned around to look, only to find that the gorgeous carriage stopped directly in front of his house.

He thought that the one inside was Princess Duanhui, and immediately came down to salute, when the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a face he didn't really want to see.

Lin Jinhua looked at his flickering eyes, and smiled slightly: "Master, you don't seem very happy to see me?"

"No way, the poor monk is just strange, Miss Lin should..."

"Should he be imprisoned?" Lin Jinyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at him, and said, "This time, the master is here to summon the soul of the son-in-law. Let's talk about it in the mansion."

When Huijue heard that the matter was related to the son-in-law, he naturally didn't dare to delay, and he didn't dare to offend Lin Jinhua. When he saw her getting out of the carriage, he didn't dare to reveal too much, so he only stepped aside and went in with her.

The rain had stopped early in the morning. After the rain last night, the capital was filled with a damp atmosphere.

The common people were waiting on both sides of the road to watch the fun, watching the eldest lady of the Wang family get married in a hurry and go to the Tao Mansion.

Lin Jincheng didn't sleep all night, and he didn't drink to drown his worries like ordinary people. He just stood on the roof of the tallest restaurant in the capital, silently watching the bridal sedan chairs slowly being carried over from the street.

There were only four people carrying the sedan chair, so he frowned.Ru Yan is married, why don't you give her eight palanquins?
Tao Mou didn't even come to pick up the bride in person, did he look down on Ru Yan?Since you don't like her, why do you want to marry?
Mo Feng followed far behind, watching him restrainedly clenched his fists and staring at the street, he only sighed slightly, stepped forward and said softly: "My lord, the news of your return to Beijing has already spread to the palace, today you are going to report Your Majesty's greetings."

Lin Jincheng remained silent, as if he didn't hear her voice.

Wang Ruyan was sitting in the sedan chair, the sedan chair was shaking, as if she couldn't hear the voices around her, she just took off the red hijab and held it in the palm of her hand, waiting for the sedan chair to stop, waiting for the groom to kick the sedan chair door, waiting to be someone else bride.

Only Tao Mou had arranged everything early.

The little servant looked at Tao Mou who was waiting at the gate of the mansion, and said softly, "Young master, everything has been arranged. As soon as Lin Jincheng appears, he will be taken away by our people. If he dares to hurt others, we have a chance to catch him." he."

"En." Tao Mou looked at the deserted street, saw that the sedan chair was still coming, and said calmly, "Do it later, don't scare Mrs. Daoxin."

The boy nodded hurriedly.

Tao Xin, who was on the side, liked this concubine brother very much and was close to him. Seeing him standing at the door, he was a little surprised: "Brother Seven, what are you doing here? If you are in a hurry, you might as well pick him up in person. "

"You don't have to pick it up in person." If she wanted to come, she would definitely come.Moreover, he heard that Lin Jinhua was already out of prison because of his son-in-law's illness. Now that Lin Jincheng is back, he might as well give them another chance. If they can't take Ru Yan away now, then don't think about it in the future.

Tao Xin curled her lips when she heard this, but didn't say anything else.

Just as I was thinking, the sound of gongs and drums was already heard in front of me, and the red sedan chair was already a hundred meters away.

Looking at the rickety red sedan chair, Tao Mou finally showed a smile on his face, is it coming...

He looked at his red robe with a little nervousness, and after he felt that there was no problem, he stepped forward, ready to greet him, but before the sedan chair stopped, he heard a sound of horseshoes, and then saw the national teacher The mansion's carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate.

Tao Mou frowned, could it be that the national teacher also wanted to get involved?
Tao Shangshu came out from inside, he was a bit courteous to this newly favored national teacher, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I never thought that the national teacher would also come here."

Huijue remembered Lin Jinhua's words before, but she had no choice but to get out of the carriage, clasped her hands together and said to Tao Shangshu: "The poor monk observed the sky early in the morning and found that there was an evil spirit gathering directly above Tao's mansion. I'm afraid it's not suitable to hold a wedding now."

Tao Mou just snorted when he heard this, but on the outside he looked normal, and said, "When does the master think it's suitable? Today is the time, but the highly respected presiding officer of Changle Temple was personally selected by the teacher."

Tao Shangshu also felt strange.

Huijue smiled and said, "It's true that today is an auspicious day, but now is not an auspicious time."

"Then what time does Master Guoshi think is an auspicious time? Is it possible to wait until dark?" Tao Mou took a deep look at him and said with a smile.

"No..." Huijue secretly remembered this Tao Mou. He seemed gentle and humble, but in fact he couldn't hide his sharpness. If he offended him, it might not be a good thing in the future, so he said: "Just wait for half an hour. "

"Half an hour?" Tao Mou wanted to say more, but Tao Shangshu felt that it was all right, Wang Ruyan was a woman with a bad name, and she was hanging out at the gate, so as to kill the prestige of the Wang family, so that everyone would not think it was wrong. The Tao family clings to his Wang family.

Tao Shangshu interrupted Tao Mou's words, nodded directly, looked at the sun and said to Huijue, "Since the master is here, why don't you sit inside."

"No need, the poor monk has to go to exorcise the son-in-law, so I won't stay any longer." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the sedan chair on the side from the corner of his eyes, turned around and left.

When Wang Ruyan heard the conversation outside, she had no complaints in her heart, and she didn't have any expectations for the future, she just wanted to live like this for the rest of her life, so let it go.

She thought so, but Lin Jincheng felt extremely distressed.

If Mo Feng hadn't stopped him, he would have gone up to fight Huijue. What auspicious or inauspicious time, Ru Yan is a woman to be married, and the sedan chair was carried to the door and she was not allowed to go in. Was it intentional to humiliate her?

"My brother is so anxious, but he can't do anything."

Lin Jinhua's voice came suddenly, Lin Jincheng was slightly taken aback, turned his head to see his sister, and said, "Jinhua..."

Lin Jinhua saw a lot of green stubble on his chin, and he was quite depressed. Thinking that Ruyan was really important to him, he just smiled and said, "Is it willing to let my brother die for Ruyan? "

"nature……"

"That's good." Lin Jinyu just finished speaking, and sprinkled the medicine powder he just bought in his hand. Before he could understand what was going on, he staggered back two steps, and then fell back exhausted. down.Behind him was the suspension on the fifth floor. When he fell, if Mo Feng hadn't caught him in time, he might have fallen to his death.

However, there were quite a few people on both sides of the road, and when they saw this scene, they surrounded them in surprise.

Mo Feng glanced at Lin Jinhua on the top of the building, understood in his heart, and immediately became anxious: "My lord, wake up!"

"Hurry up, call the doctor..." Mo Feng then yelled at the people next to him.

Someone in the crowd looked at her and asked loudly, "Isn't this Mr. Lin? What's wrong?"

Mo Feng burst into tears: "Young master was assassinated, I'm afraid...you won't survive." She covered her face and sobbed softly, but Lin Jincheng who was lying on the ground was very surprised.Although he closed his eyes and couldn't move his limbs, his consciousness was very clear, and he still didn't figure out what Jinhua was going to do. Could it be that she wasn't Jinhua?

The news that the young master of the Lin family was assassinated and fell on the street spread quickly, and the people who watched the excitement also talked about the evil that Master Cai Huijue said just now.After all, this place is not far from Tao Mansion.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Wang Ruyan faintly heard Lin Jincheng being mentioned in the conversation outside, quickly withdrew her thoughts and slightly opened the curtain to look outside, only to see two women discussing.

"It was really Mr. Lin who was assassinated?"

"It can be false. Just now my man saw it with his own eyes. He said that he was assassinated, and he fell from the fifth floor. I heard that his brain was smashed. It is very scary."

"Oh, that's unlucky, I heard that I'm going to be canonized as a second-rank general when I come back this time..."

The women looked regretful, but Wang Ruyan felt that her whole body was cold and numb.Mr. Lin, is he dead?

When Tao Mou heard these words, he felt a little bad, and told the servants nearby: "Go and drive those people away, and now carry the sedan chair into the mansion."

"But young master, the national teacher said..."

"I don't care about the good or bad times, just bring the sedan chair in now!" Tao Mou's voice was a little cold.

The boys didn't dare to turn around and report to Tao Shangshu, so they immediately called the bearer to carry the sedan chair.

Wang Ruyan felt that the sedan chair was being lifted, and her calm heart, which had been persuaded to be calm, suddenly became rippling.

Hearing the lively sound of firecrackers and joy outside, she gritted her teeth slightly and shouted directly: "Stop the car!"

Xi Niang, who was following the sedan chair, was very surprised, and hurriedly whispered: "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Stop the sedan chair, stop the sedan chair!" Wang Ruyan had only one thought in her eyes now, she was going to see Mr. Lin, she was going to see him, he was fine last night, why did he die today?No, absolutely not...

Xi Niang didn't dare to stop the sedan chair without permission, Wang Ruyan didn't care much when she saw this, she threw down her hijab, opened the sedan chair curtain and jumped down.

The bearers were startled and hurriedly stopped, Wang Ruyan staggered a few steps and barely stood still, looking at Tao Mou who was close at hand in a red wedding robe, with tears in her eyes, she apologized: "Young Master Tao, I'm sorry..."

"Yan'er..." Tao Mou's heart sank, and he wanted to call her, but she turned around and ran away.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what happened or what to do.

The boy looked at his young master's face that turned livid, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Young master, what should we do?"

"Catch her back." It was already at the door, and he was only one step away from holding her hand. How could he be willing to let her leave like this.

Hearing the words, the boys hurriedly led people to chase after them, but Lin Jinhua had already arranged people to wait in the crowd. When they saw the people from Tao Mansion chasing them, they surrounded them one after another, and let Wang Ruyan run away.

Wang Ruyan wiped her tears while running, but she didn't know that she had so many tears.

She ran all the way to the door of the inn and rushed into the crowd, only to see Mo Feng kneeling on one side and crying softly.

"Mr. Lin..." She panted slightly, looking at the motionless person lying on the ground, she fell down as soon as her body softened. If Mo Feng hadn't held him up in time, she might have fallen to the ground.

"Miss Wang, why are you here?" Mo Feng looked at her in astonishment, but he understood why in his heart.

"Master Lin, he..."

"I'm sorry Miss Wang, it's all because of the incompetence of the servants." Mo Feng looked at her apologetically.Miss Wang is trapped by herself now, if she refuses to let herself go, then she will never be able to be with the young master.

When Wang Ruyan heard her words, she just felt like a knife was piercing her heart. Why did she say those hurtful things yesterday, why couldn't she tell him her grievances and heartfelt feelings yesterday.

She looked at the man lying on the ground, looked at his tightly closed eyes, and finally couldn't bear the pain in her chest anymore, and cried on top of him: "Jincheng, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Can you wake up?" Okay, wake up, I promise you everything..."

Hearing these words, Lin Jincheng's fingers trembled slightly, and when he smelled a fragrance at the tip of his nose, he realized that his limbs seemed to be able to move.

"Then you...will you marry me?"

He didn't dare to tell her that all of this was a trick, so he could only pretend to be weak and ask.

Wang Ruyan thought he was going to die, so she nodded without thinking. Lin Jincheng was overjoyed, and then hugged him: "I will carry a big sedan chair eight times, and wear red makeup ten miles, to marry you."

Wang Ruyan was sobbing, she had been waiting for this word for a long time, day and night.But can she really do it?

She looked up at him with red eyes from crying: "Am I really worthy?"

"You are my destiny, if you are not worthy, who in this world is worthy?" Lin Jincheng raised his hand and gently wiped her face, and the crowd watching were stunned.How much contempt the men had, but the women burst into tears.Everyone knows the three obediences and four virtues, but who has never thought about the man in this world who regards himself as his destiny?
Wang Ruyan hesitated at first, and then the layers of fortresses built in her heart seemed to be broken by his tenderness in an instant.Since he loves himself so much, can he also have the cheek to fight for it once? Maybe, life can't last forever, and death can be the same.

When Mo Hua arrived, she happened to see this scene.

She stood silently behind the crowd, looked at the saber Lin Jincheng left her in her hand and said that she was going to pick her up today, and blinked to hide the inexplicable sourness in her mind.

He turned his head and saw Tao Mou who had led his men to catch up with him, took out his veil and tied it, without saying a word, raised his sword and killed him.

Hearing the sound of fighting, Mo Feng also knew that Tao Mou had come after him, so he hurriedly reminded the two of them: "My lord, you are injured, go back to the mansion to heal your wounds, and you will have to enter the palace to see the emperor later." Asked for this marriage.

Wang Ruyan also nodded: "I'll take you back home first."

"No, you just follow me into the palace." Lin Jincheng didn't want to wait for a second, Tao Mou would not let go easily, the best way is to enter the palace immediately and ask the emperor to marry him.

Wang Ruyan looked at him, a little worried: "Can you hold on to your injury, and this time I regret the marriage..."

"Yan'er, enter the palace with you as a father."

The deep male voice made Wang Ruyan's nose sore again.

When Master Huijue went to say that the time was wrong, Wang Yushi had already set off and arrived, and heard about it halfway.It was he who was ashamed of Ru Yan, if she and Lin Jincheng had been fulfilled long ago, how could there be so many things like today?Now as long as she is happy, even if he fights for his official position, he will fulfill her.

Lin Jincheng was also surprised, but Wang Yushi himself got out of the carriage and helped him up. Seeing that he was weak but not fatal, he squeezed his hand heavily and said, "Yan'er has suffered too much, you can't let him go any longer. She is wronged."

Lin Jincheng nodded heavily: "Don't worry, Uncle."

Wang Yushi looked at his daughter's red eyes, and finally stopped talking.

Mo Feng glanced at Lin Jinhua, who was standing at the entrance of the inn, and nodded.

Lin Jinhua also breathed a sigh of relief, but I don't know if this entry into the palace will be smooth. Tao Shangshu is a veteran minister who has followed the emperor for many years. He has worked hard without merit for so many years. Tao Mou is the newly promoted magistrate of Yuzhou. If it is like this If he lost his elder brother and Ru Yan, he would call him a magistrate who would lose all face...

Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things, as long as Ru Yan can figure it out, everything will work out.

After thinking about it, she got into the carriage parked on one side and left.

After Tao Mou's men forced Mo Hua back, he rode his horse and chased after him, but the building was already empty.

The boy chased after him and looked at him nervously: "My lord, what should we do now?"

Tao Mou looked cold, but he didn't say a word.Reining in the reins, he turned around and left. Today's revenge, he Tao Mou wrote it down!

When Lin Jinhua returned to Jingzhao Mansion, the son-in-law was under the care of Royal Physician Lu, and his pulse gradually stabilized, but he still didn't wake up.

As soon as Lin Jinhua entered the door, she sensed that something was wrong. A beautiful and flowery aunt knelt on one side and sobbed softly. Duanhui's face was gloomy, and her hands were tightly clenched, apparently she had just moved.

Seeing that Huijue and Lin Jinhua came so late, he was a little dissatisfied: "Why have you been gone for so long?"

Huijue stepped forward and said: "The poor monk is going to choose rice from ten households for exorcising evil spirits. I wasted time, and I hope the princess will forgive me."

Seeing this, Duanhui didn't say any more, but stood aside with a cold face.

Lin Jinyu looked at Ling Weiye who was asleep on the warm couch at one side, and then at Mrs. Ling who was tired, and said, "Why don't you go down to rest first, Mrs. Concubine's pulse is stable, as long as you can wake up, you will be fine." never mind."

"But when will he wake up?" Mrs. Ling looked sad.

"The person who needs to tie the bell to untie it, old lady, we can only wait for this matter." Lin Jinhua glanced at Duanhui who was standing silently beside the son-in-law's bed, and said softly.

Mrs. Ling could only sigh for a long time before looking at her: "You've been tired all day, go rest first, and I'll invite you back later. I've had someone question you about your case, so it doesn't matter. As for Mrs. Yan, I have personally asked someone to ask, and she said it was a misunderstanding, and I think there will be no more accidents."

When Lin Jinhua heard this, she knew that she had repaid her favor, so she thanked her with a smile, and then withdrew.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Ling looked deeply at her back: "This girl is really extraordinary. It would be great if she hadn't promised King Ning."

The nanny on one side helped her up and said, "Old madam, you should go and rest first."

"If the son-in-law doesn't wake up, I can't sleep either. I heard from Ling Mo that the provocative people in the Southwest are becoming more and more rampant. I'm afraid there will be more wars. If the imperial court wants to elect someone, it should be General Lin." Mrs. Ling looked deeply. He glanced at the direction Lin Jinhua was leaving, and said no more.

When Lin Jinhua returned to her cell, the servants in the cell became more attentive.

The leader Gongjin sent her back to the cell, and then said: "Miss Lin, your medicine is amazing. After I took it, I finally slept well last night. You know, I haven't slept well for more than half a year. .”

Lin Jinhua looked at the abnormally clean cell, and smiled at him shallowly: "That's good."

The leader also knew that she had been busy all night yesterday, and said: "Miss Lin was tired all day, let's rest first, I will send someone to deliver food in a while. Do you want Tengyunzhai or Cuimingju?"

"Just keep it simple." Lin Jinhua was not used to seeing their attentive appearance.

The leader hurriedly responded, but left the cell door without locking it.

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua raised her brows and fell asleep on the small bed on one side. Even though the beast-like cold eyes from the next door were still there, she couldn't care less. Running around exhausted too much energy. She fell into a deep sleep, but for some reason, she returned to her previous life in the dream, remembering what Zhao Kan said when she was a child, she was a chubby little girl, and she entered the palace with her mother, and saw a palace as beautiful as a fairy. Concubine, there is a cold-faced little prince by her side...

She slept deeply, but the people next door never slept deeply.

Sunlight came in from the window, she turned over, her hands were lightly hanging by the bed, just falling into the sunlight, those slender hands, with slender fingers, under the sunlight, became more and more white and beautiful.

He followed his hand and looked up, just as her face was facing him.He has never seen such a woman, her eyes are closed, her eyelashes are long, and her facial features are as beautiful as the most beautiful painting drawn by an artist in an acrobatic troupe. Before he knew it, he came out from the dark and squatted beside the cell Staring at her, as if he could grab her in his hand by raising his hand.

Just when he was fascinated, footsteps came from the entrance, and he suddenly retracted into his dark place.

Not long after, a man and a woman came.

When Lin Jinhua heard the sound, she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Miss..." Lao Liu stood outside the prison, and when he saw her, his voice trembled slightly.

Lin Jinhua just sat up and looked at him. It had been a long time since he had seen him. He had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, but today he was wearing a crescent white plain brocade gown with blue silk tied up with a jade crown. Jade.

Lin Jinhua looked at him and smiled slightly: "You're here."

"Yeah." Looking at the gentle smile on her face and her sleepy look, Lao Liu was a little startled, and if the young lady hadn't personally rescued him this time, he would have been tortured to death by those people.

Lin Jinhua saw that he seemed to have matured a lot, and pointed to the prison door: "You can come in."

Mo Yue, who was following on the side, realized that the cell door was unlocked, and couldn't help being stunned.

Walking in quickly, Lin Jinhua asked them to sit on one side, then looked at Lao Liu and asked, "Do you know the person who arrested you last time?"

"I know." The old sixth looked unhappy, and looked at Lin Jinhua with complicated eyes: "But miss, don't worry, they won't come to me for the time being."

Lin Jinhua saw that he still didn't want to say anything, and didn't ask too much, but those people also knew Huaiyan, so could it be that the sixth child also knew Huaiyan a long time ago?

"Then you knew King Ning before you followed me." Lin Jinhua said.

Mo Yue looked at the sixth child who was hesitant to speak, and said: "You just say it, if Miss really wants to check you, she won't fail."

Lao Liu opened his mouth a few times with a slightly tense expression, then swallowed the words again.

Mo Yue and Lin Jinhua glanced at each other, and stopped asking.

Lin Jinhua looked at the sixth child, then turned to look at Mo Yue: "How is Peanut?"

"He is very smart, and he does everything I teach him very well." Mo Yue laughed.

"That's good. After I go out, I'm afraid I still have to be busy." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, Lao Liu suddenly stood up, cupped his hands at her, and said, "Miss, I'm here too. Farewell."

"bid farewell?"

"Yeah. I'm leaving Jinchao for a while." Lao Liu decided.

Seeing him like this, Lin Jinhua seemed to have figured out something when he thought about his purpose of staying in the capital: "Have you found the real murderer of your brother?"

When the sixth child saw her guess, he was stunned at first, and then nodded helplessly. In front of her, he seemed to be unable to hide his small thoughts.

"Before I leave, there is something I want to give to Miss." After finishing speaking, he took out an unwritten envelope from his sleeve, "I hope you will never need this thing." After speaking, he took a deep look at the envelope. He glanced at Lin Jinhua, turned around and left.

Mo Yue knew that he was going to leave today, and seeing him out of the prison, she said to Lin Jinhua: "I'm afraid he has something to do with the Western Xia royal family, miss, do you still remember Princess Xianyue who the slave girl told you to change her face? "

"what happened?"

"Princess Xianyue is the eldest princess of the Xixia Kingdom. It is rumored that she is not only beautiful, but also capable of fighting, which is beyond the reach of ordinary women. There are also rumors that the future throne will also be passed on to her," Mo Yue said.Although it sounds unbelievable, it is not uncommon in history that a woman proclaims the emperor, and this Princess Xianyue is not only a hundred times better than the brothers below, but also extremely mysterious, coming and going without a trace, even if someone wants to murder her, they can't catch her at all. Can't live with people.

Hearing this, Lin Jinhua said in a low voice, "Since this person is not something we can provoke, as long as she doesn't come to provoke him, we will just avoid it."

Mo Yue nodded.

After reporting to Lin Jinhua about the disappearance of Jiacai's body, he left.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Dingnanhou came, she looked radiant, and there was a hint of spring in the corners of her eyes.

When she came to see Lin Jinhua, she asked someone to bring high-quality silk quilts, not to mention tables and chairs. If the cell was not surrounded by pillars, it would have turned into an exquisite boudoir.

As soon as Mrs. Dingnanhou saw Lin Jinhua, she pulled her and smiled, "It's thanks to you this time. Being able to solve Hexiang's confidant's serious problem is a worry for me."

When Lin Jinhua heard this, the hand that was pouring the tea paused slightly, and then smiled and said, "Jinhua didn't understand what Madam Hou was talking about."

Madam Dingnan Hou saw how careful she was, she tightened her hand holding the teacup slightly, and then she smiled and said, "I'm stupid, I forgot that walls have ears, that's all, you should try the soup that I have specially made for you, you It is also hard work here, such a good lady, but she wants to live in such a dilapidated place."

Lin Jinhua looked at the soup brought to him by his servants. The color and smell were normal, but seeing Mrs. Dingnanhou's burning gaze, she just smiled and said, "I eat plain food here, but I'm not used to drinking this thick soup. gone."

When the girl next to her heard this, she quickly smiled and said, "Miss, don't disappoint our wife's good intentions. This soup is stewed with high-quality ginseng and black-bone chicken. It is the best."

Madam Hou smiled and said nothing, just waiting for Lin Jinhua to drink it.

Seeing this, Lin Jinhua had no choice but to pick up the soup and put it to his mouth to take a sip. Sure enough, the soup smelled strange after it got into his mouth.Her sense of taste is not very sensitive, but Mrs. Hou is too stupid. In order to cover up the medicinal taste in the soup, she deliberately added a bitter Coptis chinensis in it to cover up other tastes. There is no silver 300 taels here. Not sure if there is a problem?
After taking a small sip, Lin Jinhua felt a slight numbness in her hands.

She put the soup aside and said with a smile: "Madam Hou doesn't seem to be feeling well lately?"

"Really?" Mrs. Hou asked nervously, and Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "Forgive Jinhua for not being able to take care of Madam today, because of the son-in-law's illness, Jinhua doesn't dare to be confused at all, for fear that she will be confused and afraid The son-in-law."

When Madam Hou heard this, her eyes dimmed slightly. She was threatening herself. Is Princess Duanhui still protecting her today?

"By the way, I just asked my servants to ask the concubine about the situation. I'm afraid the princess will call someone. Since Mrs. Hou is here, why don't you go and say hello to the princess in advance? It will also save the princess from misunderstanding Mrs. Hou. Take the Princess Mansion seriously." Lin Jinhua folded her numb hands in her sleeves and hung them to one side, and said with a normal smile.

Mrs. Dingnanhou exchanged glances with the maid next to her. Seeing that Lin Jinyu looked normal, the maid was not at ease with the soup, so she said, "In that case, madam, why don't you go and say hello first."

Mrs. Dingnanhou felt reconciled, but she didn't dare to act rashly. After all, there were still people in the cell next door, and people from the princess mansion would come over at any time. After thinking about it, she finally got up and looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile: "Wait until you get out. Da prison, you must come to Dingnanhou's mansion to accompany me, there are not many people around me who talk, and the only one I trust is you."

When she said this, there was a forced smile on her face.

Lin Jinhua was glad that she had always been stupid, otherwise it would be a disaster if she stabbed in the back at this time and left her defenseless.

After seeing Mrs. Dingnan Hou away, Lin Jinhua reached the corner, spat out the medicine she had just taken, and swallowed a detoxification pill from her sleeve, before sitting at the table and breathing a sigh of relief.

She said that after the incident with Marquis Dingnan, how could a jealous person like Mrs. Hou treat her kindly.

Just as she was thinking, there was a low sobbing sound from the next door, as if asking her.

Lin Jinhua looked up, and the afternoon sun fell on his face. Although it was dirty, he could see his facial features clearly, with sharp edges and corners, especially his eyes, which were as black as pearls and seemed to suck people in. generally.

Lin Jinhua frowned slightly before shaking her head: "I'm fine."

After she finished speaking, the sobbing stopped.

Lin Jinhua was surprised that he could understand human speech, and then remembered that he also grew up with people in the acrobatic troupe. Although he was domesticated as a wild animal, he should be able to understand human speech.

Not long after, the leading yamen servant brought food, and Lin Jinhua let him lock the cell door again, but he still didn't have much appetite for food, and he was only thinking about Lin Jincheng and Wang Ruyan's affairs, and only hoped that everything went well.

In the palace, Wang Yushi stood with his head down and waited for the emperor to review the memorial, but he remembered Lin Jincheng and Wang Ruyan who were kneeling outside at this moment.

After a long time, Wang Yushi saw that the emperor was still sitting steadily correcting the memorial, and he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, General Lin Shao was injured today..."

"Didn't you distrust him, and now you feel sorry for him?" The emperor frowned, picked up a Chinese ink pen to approve the document, and said, "Those barbarians in the southwest dare to make moves, so it's possible that they really want to start a war with Jin Chao!"

"emperor……"

Wang Yushi didn't know what to say, but the emperor gave him a deep look: "Wang Aiqing, what do you think I should do? Now that the Tao family is waiting outside the palace, should I help your Wang family and Lin family, or the Tao family?"

Wang Yushi quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I am willing to pay the price for this..."

"What price?"

"My minister is willing to resign..."

"Resign? You are threatening me!" The emperor slapped the table and said coldly.

Wang Yushi hurriedly leaned over: "I don't dare, I just think that Yan'er won't be good enough for Young Master Tao when I'm demoted to a commoner, and Young Master Tao can find another good match..."

The emperor stared at him indifferently, and went to watch his memorial in silence.

Wang Yushi just knelt down like this, and outside the palace, Lin Jincheng and Wang Ruyan also knelt straight, under the scorching sun, both of them were sweating profusely, but they still didn't move at all.

Lin Jincheng straightened his back and moved forward to shield Wang Ruyan from the scorching sun before turning to look at her: "Yan'er, I have wronged you."

Wang Ruyan only felt sweetness in her heart, is it bitter?It's not bitter at all, if he is with Mr. Lin, he still loves her deeply, even if she dies like this, she is willing.

"I'm only worried about Mr. Lin, you are suffering."

"I like it when you call me Jincheng. If you call me, I'll be fine." Lin Jincheng's ears felt slightly warm, and Wang Ruyan's cheeks flushed suddenly. looked over.

Eunuch An was guarding the gate of the palace, seeing their small movements, he was also moved, he only pointed to the shaded place on one side and said: "You two, please come here on your knees, don't block the way of other nobles coming over."

Lin Jincheng was slightly taken aback, looking at Eunuch An who had already turned to go in, then got up hurriedly, and helped Wang Ruyan to the shade again.

Seeing Eunuch An coming in, the emperor asked without raising his head, "The Tao family is still outside?"

"Yes, Young Master Tao is very persistent, saying that Young Master Lin stole his fiancée." Eunuch An bowed.

The emperor chuckled, put down the notebook and went to look at Wang Yushi: "It is said that beauty is a disaster, but now a Miss Wang has harmed several of my lovers. In my opinion, it is better for this kind of woman to die. Come, give me poison." liquor."

Wang Yushi was shocked and stood up suddenly to look at him: "Your Majesty!"

Eunuch An was unusual, he glanced at Wang Yushi meaningfully, bowed his head in response, and stepped forward.

When the poisoned wine was prepared, Eunuch An asked Wang Ruyan and Lin Jincheng to be restrained, and said, "Miss Wang, the emperor has ordered that if you are willing to marry Mr. Tao, you will be spared the death penalty."

Lin Jincheng's face paled: "Eunuch An, why did the emperor say that, Ru Yan did not commit a capital crime!"

"Didn't commit a capital crime?" The emperor came out from the inside and looked at him indifferently: "The beauty is a disaster, and you and Tao Mou are both fascinated. Isn't it a capital crime?"

After Wang Ruyan heard this, although she was reluctant in her heart, she just knelt up straight: "My daughter... I have no regrets in death!" After speaking, she kowtowed heavily to Wang Yushi: "My daughter is not filial, please forgive my father."

"Yan'er..." Wang Yushi knew that she was determined, but he didn't know how to persuade her.

Lin Jincheng still struggled, but his mouth was covered. He could only watch helplessly as Wang Ruyan was poured down the glass of poisoned wine, and then fell to the ground with a pale face.

When Tao Mou was brought in, he happened to see Wang Ruyan lying dead on the ground.

Seeing his shocked appearance, the emperor said: "Tao Aiqing, if you are willing, I can immediately marry Miss Wang to you and enter the Tao family's ancestral hall."

When Tao Shangshu heard this, he secretly teased Tao Mou. If he welcomes a dead person back, it would be bestowed by the emperor. Tao Mou would not be able to marry others in the past few years, which would be even more detrimental to the Tao family.

Seeing Tao Mou, the emperor also hesitated, and then looked at Lin Jincheng: "Lin Aiqing, how about you?"

The attendant let go of Lin Jincheng, and Lin Jincheng kowtowed violently to the emperor: "I am willing to marry Miss Wang."

"Are you willing to die? You have to know that if I grant you a marriage, you will never even think about marrying a wife in this life." The emperor said.

Lin Jincheng's throat choked up, looking at the person lying on the side as if asleep, his eyes were red: "I am willing to resign from office and go into seclusion, and only guard my beloved wife for the rest of my life."

Tao Mou took a step forward, but was suddenly pulled back by Tao Shangshu. He could only look at Lin Jincheng deeply, gritted his teeth, but he didn't say the words "I am willing too".

The emperor looked at Lin Jincheng, raised his brows slightly, and even Wang Yushi shook his head: "Mr. Lin, you are the only one in the Lin family..."

"Jinhua is also from the Lin family." Lin Jincheng choked up.Today, when Jinhua asked him if he was willing to give up his life for Ruyan, he already had the answer in his heart.

The emperor looked at Tao Mou, then at Lin Jincheng, and then glanced at Eunuch An lightly: "That being the case, let's go to draw up the decree. But in the end, Lin Aiqing is suspected of stealing someone's beloved wife. Originally, I promised you that after returning from the southwest I will promote you as a second-class general, and I will invalidate it as a punishment." After saying that, he turned around and walked in.

Lin Jincheng didn't care at all whether he was promoted to second-class general or not, he just kowtowed heavily: "My minister, thank you Lord Long En!"

Eunuch An looked at Tao Mou who was standing silently on one side, smiled, turned around and followed him.

After drawing up the imperial decree, he saw the emperor leaning on the dragon chair tiredly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that Empress Lipin has brought Princess Xuan and Prince Xiaojun to the palace, do you want to see him?"

The emperor paused for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes and asked him: "Do you think there are really such idiots who hate women in the world? Even if they die, they will spend a lifetime with her."

Eunuch An is a smart man. Hearing this, he just smiled and said: "The emperor is making fun of this slave. The slave is an eunuch. How can he understand such matters of love?"

Hearing this, the emperor laughed out loud, and then glanced at him and said, "You old fox, that's all..." He paused, and then slowly said in a hoarse voice: "The niece of Jiacai, What's your name?"

Eunuch An's eyebrows twitched, he hurriedly bowed and said, "It seems to be called Xue Wenxin."

"Xue Wenxin..." The emperor tapped his finger on the table slowly, one sound after another, until it was getting late, and said: "Go and fetch her secretly."

Eunuch An raised his head in shock, seeing his gaze as if recalling an old friend, he hurriedly lowered his eyes in response.
