Chapter 90 Earth Emperor
Chapter 90 Earth Emperor
Seeing her bumping into him, Mo Feng made preparations a long time ago, kicked her away with one kick, and then stepped on the ground.
Lin Jinhua didn't care about the whispers and contempt of others, but said indifferently: "Where is the post guard, come out and see me."
After the words fell, Gao Zhi pulled out the anxious guard who was hiding on the side.
When the guard saw the dead person, he felt something was wrong, and when he saw the girl again, he became even more flustered, but it happened that this Miss Lin was someone His Royal Highness Ning loved, so he would stay or run away. No, I had to be dragged out by Gao Zhi.
Lin Jinhua looked at the guard who was shaking like chaff, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked him coldly, "Your Excellency seems to know something?"
The guard glanced at the girl trampled by Mo Feng, then at the dark-faced servant woman, sighed, knelt down in front of Lin Jinhua and kowtowed three times: "It's all because the villain is confused. It was last month when she was down and out, and the villain saw her pitiful, so he took her in, but today she is insane and wants to harm Miss Lin."
"Do you know that I didn't kill this servant?" Lin Jinzhen frowned slightly, and Mo Feng also felt that something was wrong: "This woman is not this servant's daughter at all."
The onlookers were all amazed. Could it be that they misunderstood Ms. Lin?
The guard looked at Gao Tian's cold knife, and nodded, "I didn't pay attention to this woman at first, but later I found out that she likes to test people for poison."
"Hahaha, didn't you know it now? Didn't you know it a long time ago? You insulted me and asked you to kill the whole family with me!" The girl who was trampled laughed wildly, Mo Feng frowned and let go , the girl raised her hand and stabbed at Lin Jinhua again, but Mo Feng opened it before she got close to Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua's face was slightly cold. The woman said that she wanted to kill herself because she wanted to let the guard's family be buried with her. In the end, the prince was so angry that he hacked and killed the guard's family who adopted her...
The woman was opened, knowing that Lin Jinhua could not be killed, she turned her head and rushed towards the guard: "You dare to rape me, I will kill you right now, beast!" After finishing speaking, she pulled out the poison-stained hairpin on her head , and stabbed fiercely towards the guard.
Gao Zhi was at the side of the guard, kicked the woman's knee in the end, saw her kneeling on the ground, and then stepped forward to let her be held down.
Seeing that the person was under control, the guard hurriedly knelt down with Lin Jinhua: "Thank you Miss Lin for saving me."
"She said you underestimated her, but is it true?" Lin Jinhua suddenly asked him coldly.
The guard's goatee trembled slightly, his thin face showed a bit of timidity, and he hurriedly said: "She seduced me, otherwise why would she ask me to save her?"
"Beast, I don't want you to save me even if I die!" The woman remembered that rainy night, she was originally from the Jianghu, she was seriously injured after fighting with the people in Qingshan Village, and fled to the foot of the mountain. The guard, never thought that the guard would take advantage of her fainting to do such a thing, and even have her martial arts abolished in order to take her by force.
The guard sarcastically said, "If you didn't seduce me with your beauty..."
Lin Jinhua didn't want to hear any more, and just looked at him coldly: "Since that's the case, you've allowed her to kill many people, right?"
"This...I..." The guard was at a loss for words.
Lin Jinhua glanced at Gao Zhi, Gao Zhi understood, and directly ordered the guards on the side: "Send it to the government, as an official, not only does not know how to obey the law, but instead rapes the women of the people and condones the murder, the crime deserves death!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly begged him: "Guard Gao, this is none of my business, I don't know..."
Gao Tian snorted softly, ignored him, and looked at the weeping woman, before asking Lin Jinhua, "Miss, how will she deal with it?"
"Murder pays for life." Although Lin Jinhua was sympathetic, she was really vicious and wanted to take revenge with her innocent life.
The woman did not refute, and was quickly taken down.
The onlookers were at a loss for words, and they felt ashamed when they thought of the outrageous accusation against Lin Jinhua just now.
The old doctor who bore the brunt was even more ashamed, his face flushed and he was about to sneak away, but suddenly he heard Lin Jinhua say: "The old doctor has a hidden disease, it is better to treat it earlier."
The old doctor's face turned even greener, and he only saluted her perfunctorily, and said sarcastically: "The villain is so cheap, I don't dare Miss Laurin to care about it. But with your little medical skills, it's better not to harm others, at a young age , I really think that outsiders boast a few words, is it a miracle doctor? If it weren't for your family background, who would say such rotten words."
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she laughed out of anger, and said, "Thank you, old doctor, for your guidance."
Seeing her indifferent look, the old doctor thought that she was guilty, her eyes became more and more cloudy, so she only hummed softly, then turned her head and left.
Xu Zhaozhao made a funny face at his back, and then stepped forward to pull Lin Jinhua: "These people are talking nonsense without knowing the situation!"
"It's okay." Lin Jinhua only felt that it was a pity that someone had ruined a beautiful morning.
It was only after the scene was cleaned up that the former enthusiastic people really found Tao Mou.
Tao Mou took office early this morning, instead of going directly to the government office, it was a wise move to inspect the area first.
Lin Jinhua saw that his face was calm, as if he didn't care about Ru Yan's affairs with her brother, and only smiled: "Master Tao, the matter has been resolved."
"I heard about it." He greeted Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao, and then looked at Lin Jinhua with a very calm expression: "When something like this happens, I will definitely pay more attention to it in the future, and try to avoid it from happening again."
Mrs. Xu saw his elegant demeanor, but didn't say much, only seeing that it was not early, she said to Lin Jinhua: "Let's go first, and we will be there in half a day."
Lin Jinhua nodded, looked at Tao Mou, and found that his gaze was also on her, a little cold.
Seeing her look, Tao Mou smiled lightly: "If Mrs. Xu and Ms. Lin encounter any problems again, they can directly inform the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will definitely handle it personally."
"Then thank you Master Tao for your kindness." Lin Jinhua smiled politely, but Tao Mou really has such a broad mind?Impossible, Tao Mou in his previous life was not a magnanimous person. Although he looked gentle and refined, how could such a person be a simple person since he was a concubine in Tao Shangshu's mansion until today, let alone the Tao family. Apart from him, the other aunts are either sickly or idiots.
From the posthouse to the carriage, Lin Jinhua felt that his gaze was on him strangely, as if he was scrutinizing and probing, and it seemed to be a calculation that was not discovered by others, as if some conspiracy was brewing.
"Jinhua, are you still worried about Tao Mou?" Mrs. Xu suddenly asked when she saw her pondering.
Lin Jinhua came back to her senses, and said truthfully: "I don't think he will let the matter between Ruyan and brother go away."
Mrs. Xu lifted the curtain of the car and looked back, seeing Tao Mou was still watching at the door, she frowned slightly, then lowered the curtain and sighed softly: "You can't blame her, after all, Miss Wang really decided to marry him. "
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded. The Lin family really owed him this point. As long as he doesn't act like a monster, it's fine to find a way to make it up for him in the future. Compared with Ru Yan, what he wants more is power. Otherwise, he would not choose to give up the choice in the palace.
Thinking all the way, the carriage bumped on the official road all morning, and finally arrived at Xiao's house before lunch.
The county where the Xiao family is located is not big, but it looks very peaceful, and the Xiao family is a scholarly home, and now it has an academy.
Just after entering the gate of the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao greeted her personally, and brought her two daughters, Xiao Zipei and Xiao Zilan, but they were younger, one was 11 years old and the other was ten years old. , these are the only two daughters born on the same day.
After lunch, I arranged to rest in the wing room, and the day was over.
The county town is not big, but it is very prosperous, because it is just at the mouth of the river, there are many big wharves, many merchant ships pass here, so there are a lot of silk and imported products here. When it was not dark, Xu Zhaozhao took her and the two younger sisters from the Xiao family out for shopping.
"Sister Jinhua, I heard that there is a ghost picking a bride here today." Xu Zhaozhao said quietly, looking at Mo Feng and Gao Zhi beside him, he immediately felt relieved.
Lin Jinhua felt novelty: "The ghost chooses the bride?"
"Yes, the ghost chooses the bride. It's actually just for fun. Someone pretends to be a ghost, and the bride is a woman watching from the audience. Whoever the ghost takes a fancy to, will directly hug the person to the stage. If the bride is willing, the ghost will take off the mask If you get it right, you can go to various houses to get married." Xiao Zipei, 11, explained.
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, are these ladies and gentlemen so worried about getting married now?
"It must be fun." Xu Zhaozhao was very excited.
Lin Jinhua was happy to see her, and was willing to join in the fun with her, so she secretly told Mo Feng to be optimistic about the Xiao sisters and Xu Zhaozhao for a while.
Soon, a table more than one meter high was set up in front of the inn near the lake, and many girls with makeup gathered under it, staring at the table lively.
Lin Jinhua was originally watching the fun outside, but she never thought that when the crowd got bigger, she would be pushed to the front, while Mo Feng and Gao Tian were also separated behind.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, when the gong sounded above, a man wearing a ghost mask came onto the stage.
"The ghost chooses the bride!"
The gong knocker shouted loudly, and then banged three more times.
The ghost seemed very shy, and bowed deeply to everyone, causing the audience to burst into laughter: "This ghost is a scholar!"
"Will you be able to hug the bride for a while..."
The people below joked wantonly, causing another burst of laughter.
The ghost seemed very nervous, looked left and right, and finally spotted the right person, then hurriedly got off the stage and led the person up.
Lin Jinhua looked at the shy girl, and then at the elegant 'ghost', it must have been the intention of Lang Youqing's concubine.
After thinking about it, the ghost lifted his mask according to the rules, and the people underneath seemed to recognize him, so he congratulated him.
After a while, they retreated, and someone came up again.
Each time was more difficult, and Lin Jinhua felt happy when she saw it, but before she was over, someone pushed her body violently, and she fell directly on the side of the table.
She turned around with a frown, and suddenly heard a loud shout from the stage: "This young lady is coming up!"
Just when Lin Jinhua was about to refuse, the ghost on the stage didn't know when it was approaching, so it grabbed her by the waist and took her captive to the stage.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, she went to look underground, only to find that Mo Feng Gaozhi and the two young ladies of the Xiao family were gone, and even Xu Zhaozhao was gone.
She suddenly remembered that she was pushed to the side of the stage by the crowd just now, those people seemed to be doing it on purpose, otherwise how could they just push herself away from other people?
"Who are you?" She asked directly.
The person wearing the mask smiled: "Miss, I fell in love with you as soon as you came to the Xiao family. You are a relative of the Xiao family, so I want to take you as my concubine!"
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth twitched, but there were a few things for sure. This person was a local, and he had followed him as soon as he got off the carriage. Could it be that he was a local snake?
If it is a local snake, it must be the local county magistrate, and she remembers that the local county magistrate's surname is Zeng...
"Your father is the county magistrate Zeng?" Lin Jinhua asked him.
The man paused slightly, a little surprised, but laughed: "What a smart woman, I like it, don't worry, even if you are a noble concubine, I will not treat you badly!" After finishing speaking, he took off his mask.
When the mask was lifted, Lin Jinhua saw the greedy gaze in his beady eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched even more...
"How about it, are you overwhelmed by the young master's appearance? Although the young master is only a scholar, your Xiao family is just a poor school. Even if there are a few noble relatives in the capital, they are still far away from the emperor. Why don't you follow me?" , eat delicious food here..."
"That's not your turn."
Before the man finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind him.
Lin Jinhua blinked, Zhao Huaiyan?Didn't he go to work?
The man turned his head suddenly, and felt that the arm blocking Lin Jinhua had been twisted off, and then a man in a black brocade suit came from the darkness and stood in front of him indifferently.
"Who are you, dare to interfere with my good affairs, do you know what will happen!" He said angrily.His father has been the county magistrate here for decades, and he has long been the local emperor here. He has never been bullied like this since he was a child, especially this man is so good-looking!
The girls below gasped when they saw Zhao Huaiyan for the first time, the man clearly fell from the sky just now, the black hair scattered behind him moved with the wind, his facial features were as clear as a knife cut, with The alienation and indifference on the outside, the pair of phoenix eyes under the sword-shaped eyebrows that entered the temples seemed to be frosty, and the thin lips were slightly pursed, which carried a dignity that could not be desecrated.
"Is he a god?"
"What a handsome man, I want to give birth to him!"
The girls ignored Lin Jinhua and stared at Zhao Huaiyan on the stage with staring eyes.
The men down here are just waiting to see the good show. Mr. Zeng doesn't say that he is the local emperor here, but he also has a noble relative in the capital, that is the famous Dingnanhou. make life difficult for.
Lin Jinhua seemed to want to understand this too, but she thought more about it.She said where did Nanhou come from to dare not to attach himself to any princes? It turned out that there was a county magistrate Zeng behind him to supply food and grass for him. In this rich land, judging by the behavior of this Mr. Zeng, his purse must be very big. .
Before she could finish thinking, she heard a commotion from below, and then officers and soldiers surrounded her with weapons in their hands. The man who looked like a master saw the gray-faced young man sitting on the ground holding an arm that seemed to be broken, and felt distressed. Hastily stepped forward: "Oh, son, what's wrong with you?"
"He was the one who broke my arm! Not only did he want to take my woman away, he also wanted to kill me!" Mr. Zeng said with confidence when he saw his own man coming, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Huaiyan in front of him.
The master is shrewd, Zhao Huaiyan has an extraordinary demeanor, and Lin Jinhua standing behind him is even more refined. Are these men and women ordinary people?
Just carefully stepped forward and said: "Young master, dare to ask why you hurt my young master? Where does the young master live..."
Before the master finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan turned around indifferently, looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Did he hurt you?"
"No, but Zhao Zhao and the Xiao sisters are gone." Lin Jinhua frowned.
Seeing this, the master gritted his teeth slightly, and could only look at his young master: "Young master, why don't we go back first..."
"No, you arrest him!" After Mr. Zeng was lifted up, Dou Da's eyes were full of anger, and the freckles on his face also danced with the fat, it seemed that he was really angry .
The master wanted to stop him, but he saw Zhao Huaiyan turned sideways and said coldly: "Is this how Zeng Jiqiu raised his son? If he doesn't know how to teach, this king can do it for him."
The king?
The master was dumbfounded, these few days he had heard his lord talk about that there will be a Prince Ning coming here in the capital, could it be this one?
He tentatively stepped forward: "You are His Highness King Ning?"
"Send Miss Xu and the two young ladies of the Xiao family back safe and sound. If you lose a hair, ask Zeng Jiqiu to come and see you." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Jinhua, and said softly, "I'll send you off first." You go back."
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded, and she had to take care of this matter.It has been exposed that Marquis Dingnan has plans for himself, and it is impossible to take refuge in Zhao Huaiyan in the future. In order to prevent him from becoming a member of Zhao Kan, with the treasury of Zeng County Magistrate, coupled with Marquis Dingnan's military power and ability, A tough opponent indeed.
While thinking about it, she followed Zhao Huaiyan to the stage, when suddenly a group of women rushed over and pushed Lin Jinhua away.
"My lord, this is a handkerchief embroidered by a girl."
"My lord, look, this is a purse made by a daughter of the people..."
……
Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Huaiyan, who was surrounded by women with a cold face, and was dumbfounded. Zhao Huaiyan's popularity is so high, why don't you see those ladies like this in the capital?Could it be because of the rumors that he was withdrawn and unable to enter Taoism?
As she thought about it, she actually felt like laughing, looking at Zhao Huaiyan surrounded by women, she actually expected him to turn red with anger.
But she underestimated Zhao Huaiyan, is he the kind of person who treats all women with pity?
When he saw Mr. Zeng approaching Lin Jinhua quietly on the stage, his expression turned cold, and he tapped his toes. Then he came to Lin Jinhua's side, staring at the man with cold eyes: "Is there something wrong with finding my fiancée?"
"fiancée?"
The master hurriedly came forward to look at Lin Jinhua, and hurriedly saluted: "So it's Miss Lin, offended and offended." After speaking, he hurriedly dragged the unwilling young master away.Other women can fight for it, but King Ning's woman can't. Who in the capital knows that King Ning protects his wife like his life, even though this is not his wife.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the women who were still coming behind him, with a cold expression: "Back off!"
The woman was startled, and some were already on the verge of crying.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't care about them, and glanced at Lin Jinhua nervously, seeing that she wasn't jealous, and heaved a sigh of relief, but the moment he was relieved, he felt a little unhappy?She is not jealous at all?
Lin Jinhua didn't know what he was thinking about, but felt a cool gaze on her, and looked up, just in time to see a figure passing by in the private room on the third floor of the inn not far away, as if trying to avoid herself .
"My lord, there are people there."
Zhao Huaiyan followed her gaze, saw the person who walked to the window again, and said, "I'll take you back first."
Seeing his solemn expression, Lin Jinhua knew that it might have something to do with his coming here, so she decided not to ask further questions.
Soon after an attendant drove the carriage over, Zhao Huaiyan personally helped her into the carriage, and when she was sent back to the Xiao Mansion, she left without stopping.
When Lin Jinhua came back, Xu Zhaozhao and the others were there.
Mo Feng waited for someone to come before he hurried forward and said, "Miss."
"Have you been lured away?"
"Well, it's an acquaintance." Mo Feng whispered.
Lin Jinhua understood. Looking at Xu Zhaozhao, who was worried and blamed herself, she smiled and went forward to rub her head: "I'm fine, it's getting late, go down and rest first, and we'll go out for a walk tomorrow. I heard that the lotus in this area has already bloomed." , let's go boating."
Xu Zhaozhao nodded after hearing the words, chewing tears.
The two young ladies of the Xiao family seemed to be still ignorant, and went on happily.
Lin Jinyu looked at the family and felt at ease. After returning to the room, she sent the others away and asked Mo Feng, "Who led you away?"
"He Lianjing. Presumably he followed us all the way secretly, but he didn't attack Miss." Mo Feng felt strange.
Lin Jinhua was not surprised, thinking that the person he saw in the private room of the inn just now was the purpose of He Lianjing, if Huaiyan hadn't come in time to lure other people away.I was afraid that I would have to meet that person alone.
"My lord..." Lin Jinyu sat on the side of the warm couch, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know who He Lianjing's master is? In other words, who is the real master of Shuiyun Jian?"
Seeing that she actually asked this, Mo Feng was very surprised: "Miss thinks that Helian Jing's master did all of this?"
"You seem surprised..."
"No." Mo Feng hurriedly lowered his head, with a complicated expression on his face.
Seeing that she was still in trouble, Lin Jinhua sighed secretly, and said with a smile on her face, "Forget it, it's getting late, you should go down and rest too."
"But Miss..." Mo Feng seemed to be hesitant, the prince said not to tell the lady, but repeatedly, the lady was almost in danger, would that person listen to the prince's persuasion?
Lin Jinhua looked at her and smiled slightly: "I'll talk about it when you want to. By the way, the Princess Crescent Moon you mentioned before..." Lin Jinhua mentioned these words on purpose, but seeing how she heard them The expression that changed when the word was written was already clear in my heart, and I just said without showing any traces: "How old is this year?"
"Why did Miss suddenly ask this?" Mo Feng pursed his lips slightly.
"I just heard that she is powerful, and I suddenly became curious." Lin Jinhua smiled.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be tempting, Mo Feng only smiled slightly: "This year is already twenty."
"Really?" Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes and picked up the teacup.Mo Feng even remembers exactly how old a princess who is thousands of miles away and irrelevant is this year, and the person behind her is Princess Xuanyue...
After Mo Feng left, Lin Jinhua simply washed up and lay down on the bed.
In late May, the moonlight was thin, and insects were buzzing in the yard. Lin Jinhua looked at the pale ceiling until it was dawn, and then fell asleep with closed eyes.
Huaiyan went to see her all night, but didn't come back...
In the capital, as Lin Jinhua expected, those who should be ready to move have begun to move.
When Mo Yue returned to the secluded small house, seeing that Peanut was already waiting, she stepped forward and said, "How is it?"
"Found it, Lin Duan will go to the capital tomorrow night, Mr. Yan will pick him up." Peanut followed her behind.
When Mo Yue arrived in the room, she directly studied the ink and wrote it down, before saying, "But there are other things? Have you found out how he is going to harm the master?"
Peanut shook his head apologetically: "I didn't find out, but the news came from the Tao family."
"The Tao family?" Mo Yue suddenly remembered that it was Tao Mou who told the young lady that Lin Duan was going back to Beijing and planned to murder the master.
"I see, you continue to be stared at." After speaking, he picked up his pen and began to write.
Peanut was illiterate, watched her write quickly, and said, "Sister Yue, there is one more thing..."
"Say."
"The Prince Jing's Mansion you asked me to stare at, I heard that there seems to be more people recently."
"A talented person?" Mo Yue stopped writing in her hand, "She's not dead?" Zhao Kan didn't kill her?This is where it gets interesting.
Peanut nodded: "The people guarding outside Prince Jing's mansion said that they saw the mother-in-law of King Jing's mansion buying a lot of silk and satin for women. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make offerings."
Mo Yue chuckled: "Support? It doesn't exist, and most of it is used by each other."
After finishing speaking, he sealed the envelope with wax and gave it to Peanut: "Send it to Miss."
Peanut quickly responded.
After speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
Moyue Huasheng immediately became vigilant. This is a secret base. Normally, no one would come here. Who would come here?
Mo Yue let Peanut hide, put on the veil cap herself, and then slowly walked to the closed door and asked cautiously, "Who?"
No one answered outside, only continued knocking on the door.
Mo Yue frowned, seeing that Peanut was still hunching over at the door of the room, making a gesture of setting fire.
Peanut couldn't believe it, but seeing Mo Yue's complexion, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately closed the door tightly, poured out all the oil that had been prepared in the room before lighting the fire, and escaped through the secret passage up.
Mo Yue saw green smoke starting to burn in the room, so she stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, but the moment the courtyard door was opened, several sharp arrows shot at it immediately.
She dodged narrowly, and saw a group of officers and soldiers aiming at this place with their bows and arrows, and standing behind the officers and soldiers, who else could it be if it wasn't Zheng Lai who was rumored to be returning to Beijing in a few days?Is he coming to attack?
The corners of Mo Yue's mouth curled up coldly, she turned her head and ran away without fighting.
Seeing that she escaped so simply, Zheng Lai was a little skeptical, but before he ordered a search, he saw that the room was on fire from inside. Needless to say, the evidence he wanted inside must have been burned long ago!
Some officers and soldiers came over and said, "General, do you still want to investigate?"
Zheng Lai's face turned livid: "No need, but it seems that the secret letter said that this is Lin Luzhi's secret base. Hmph, if he can run for a while, I'll see if he can run for a lifetime!"
Lin Jinyu didn't know what was going on here, and when Mo Yue's letter arrived urgently in the afternoon, she found out that the Yan Mansion had mixed up with Lin Duan.The Yan family used to follow Jiacai, but Lin Duan's master behind the scenes was Jiacai?
She couldn't be sure based on this alone, but it was a fact that the Yan family intended to get rid of the Lin family and the Xu family.
When Xu Zhaozhao came to look for her, he saw that she was reading the letter, and he stood far away and asked, "Sister Jinhua, shall we still go rowing? The lord has asked someone to prepare the boat, and sent someone to protect it."
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "I'll be there in a while." Does he still have time to prepare these...
"Okay." Xu Zhaozhao nodded, not noticing that something was wrong with her.
Mo Feng came in from the outside, saw that she had put the letter on the candle and lit it up, and asked casually, "Miss, is there news from the capital?"
Lin Jinhua nodded: "Lin Duan's matter has progressed." After finishing speaking, he said, "It's getting late, let's go out."
"En." Mo Feng nodded.
After changing clothes and coming out, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xiao walked together and talked intimately. Xu Zhaozhao and the two sisters of the Xiao family were noisy and cheerful. Lin Jinzheng followed behind lightly, but just after walking out of Xiao's mansion, she felt a cool gaze. Same as last night.
She glanced at the plain carriage parked not far away, it belonged to Zhao Huaiyan, he was in it, so was she...
"Miss..." Seeing her looking at the carriage, Mo Feng whispered.
Lin Jinhua looked away lightly, seeing Mrs. Xu getting into the carriage, she also got into the carriage and left.
Seeing this, Mo Feng suddenly remembered her seemingly random question last night. The young lady is so smart, how could she be negligent!
She bit her lip slightly, looking at the prince's carriage, full of helplessness.
"Found."
The woman in the carriage spoke softly.
Zhao Huaiyan's face turned cold: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to come to Jinchao?"
"There's no place in the world I can't go to."
"A crescent moon..."
"It's been a long time since I heard you call my name. But you don't like me coming, so I'm fine if I don't come, but I don't want to wait too long, you have to deal with Jin Chao's affairs earlier." Xian Yue's bright eyes turned slightly, He only looked at the direction Lin Jinhua was leaving before seeing her up close. She is really a beautiful woman, but no matter how good-looking she is, she is just skinny.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her coldly, looked at the carriage slowly going away, her heart tightened slightly, did Jinhua notice it, the eyes she looked at just now were extremely indifferent, as if she had denied all her feelings for her generally.
The afternoon sun was very strong, and when they reached the lake full of lotus flowers, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the few people took a rest in the small building in the middle of the lake.
There are quite a few private rooms in the small building in the center of the lake, but fortunately Zhao Huaiyan had already reserved one, and the few of them looked at the clear lake water by the window, and they could also see koi swimming happily around.
Lin Jinhua looked at the lakeside and meditated, when suddenly a familiar voice broke the silence.
"Miss Lin, may I have the honor to invite you to have a drink with me on board?"
Seeing his beady eyes, Lin Jinhua became more and more thoughtful. The men around her looked like this. Does it mean that she has really become unattractive?
Thinking of this, she shook her head violently, what was she thinking about, when did she care so much about her appearance.
"Thank you Mr. Zeng for your kindness. I don't want to go on a boat when the sun is hot." Lin Jinhua refused indifferently.
This Mr. Zeng was not discouraged, and continued: "It's okay, I will hold the umbrella for you..." He said, and the servant immediately handed over a flowered umbrella.
Lin Jinhua was dumbfounded, this guy usually molests girls from good families like this.
Before she opened her mouth to refuse, the boat suddenly swayed, and Mr. Zeng, who was standing at the bow, couldn't stand still, and fell directly into the lake, splashing a large amount of water. Dumplings plopped down to save people, only then did Lin Jinhua see the culprit.Watching him slowly walking from the stern, the chill all over his body seemed to dispel the sweltering heat.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly got up and saluted: "My lord."
Lin Jinhua looked at him and looked straight at herself, for some reason, she just got up and greeted everyone like everyone else, polite and somewhat alienated.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huaiyan wondered if she really found out, but is she jealous?
Zhao Huaiyan was in a better mood, stepped forward and said directly: "Take you on a cruise."
"It's too hot."
"There's an umbrella." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, Gao Ji quickly picked up the flower-folded umbrella Mr. Zeng had prepared just now.
Seeing how persistent he was, Lin Jinhua laughed angrily: "Your Highness is not on official business?"
"Official duties are not important." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her gently, no one was as important as her, nothing was as important as his Hua'er.
Mrs. Xiao and the young ladies of the Xiao family were stunned when they heard this, but Mrs. Xu was used to Zhao Huaiyan's unscrupulous sprinkling of dog food, she secretly held down the excited Xu Zhaozhao, and said with a smile: "Jinhua, go, the lotus is in full bloom. Just in time, we will go too in a while."
Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened. Seeing this, Lin Jinhua stepped out and boarded the boat.
Gao Jie made mistakes in the past few days, punting at the stern of the boat attentively, not listening to the conversation of the masters.
Zhao Huaiyan was holding an umbrella firmly on the bow of the boat, and when the boat sailed into the lotus garden, he said softly: "Have you heard of Princess Xuanyue?"
"Ah."
"Where is Concubine Yin, do you still remember?"
"Yes." Lin Jinhua was surprised that he would mention Concubine Yin.
"After the concubine was executed by the father, she was picked up by the Xixia monarch who was still a prince at that time. Southern Xinjiang is good at Gu insects, while Xixia is good at medicine." Zhao Huaiyan mentioned this, his face was a little dark.
Lin Jinhua was very surprised: "Could it be that Mrs. Yin..."
"Not dead, but life is better than death. I only found out about this in the past two years. It was Xianyue who saved half of her life back then, so for her and mother concubine, I have never Tell you." Zhao Huaiyan looked at the front indifferently, but it seemed that these scenes were no longer in front of him: "And the most important thing is that the father's intention to annex Xixia has already been established. Do it."
"So the prince wants to stop the emperor?"
Zhao Huaiyan shook his head slightly: "If you want to stop it, there is only one way to win the throne."
Lin Jinhua recalled that in her previous life, Zhao Huaiyan did not seize the throne, but gave it to Zhao Kan. Was it really because of helplessness?But speaking, Xixia is only a small country, but with people like Zhao Huaiyan around, it shouldn't be defeated.
Just when Lin Jinhua was thinking, Zhao Huaiyan suddenly turned to look at her: "Jinhua, do you want that position?"
If she said no, would he not?
Lin Jinhua hesitated, he didn't want the throne just for Xixia, he always wanted justice for the people who betrayed his mother and concubine and those who used him for so many years.
"I..." Before Lin Jinhua could say a word, she saw Zhao Huaiyan's face stern, and then she rose into the air with her arms around her waist. Countless bows and arrows shot from around her, and many black-clothed assassins quickly appeared underwater.
Zhao Huaiyan sneered lightly: "Is it here so soon?"
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, Zhao Huaiyan had already shouted high.
Gao Tian nodded, pulled out the fireworks around his waist, and their people quickly appeared in the dark, fighting with those assassins.
"It seems that Marquis Dingnan is ready to make a move." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly, sent Lin Jinhua to the shore, and told Mo Feng to protect her, before leaving.
Lin Jinzheng looked at his back, and his heart sank. Since the Zeng family is the local emperor here, and there are so many strange assassins lurking in, how could he have no news at all? He assigned it, but since he dared to attack, without the consent of Marquis Dingnan in the capital, no matter how bold he was, he would never dare to attack the dignified King Ning.
But Huaiyan has already prepared someone, so is he waiting for him to make a move?
Listening to the sound of fighting, Xu Zhaozhao's hands were itchy, but Mrs. Xu pinched her ears and stood aside.
Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Jinhua, and said softly: "Your Highness will be fine, do you want to inform the government first?"
"It doesn't matter, the prince will take care of it, but I'm afraid someone will come over later." Seeing that Zhao Huaiyan had already prepared, the one who will suffer this time is the county magistrate Zeng who made a rash move. .
"Who's coming?" Xu Zhaozhao asked puzzled.
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly, but before she could explain, she saw a gorgeous blue carriage stopped in front of the small building not far away. Looking at the servants who were waiting around her, Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly. Then came out a plump woman with red hairpins in her bun and dressed in expensive silk, and walked towards here.
Mrs. Xiao took a look and hurriedly said, "Isn't this the county magistrate's wife?"
"Is this lady always unable to eat?" Lin Jinhua asked suddenly.
Xu Zhaozhao chuckled softly: "Looking at how fat she is, why can't she eat?"
Mrs. Xiao looked at her in surprise and nodded: "That's exactly what I heard."
"And the lower abdomen is heavy, and I often have abdominal cramps." Lin Jinhua blinked and said.
Mrs. Xiao was even more surprised: "I heard about these by accident because my master often went to the county magistrate's mansion to teach a few young masters. People are not allowed to talk about these. How did Miss Lin know?"
"I know a little bit about medicine." Lin Jinhua heard the unstoppable fight not far away, and already had an idea in her mind.
As soon as the words fell, the county magistrate's wife had already arrived, followed by a slew of officers and soldiers with knives.
The county magistrate's wife respectfully saluted Madam Xu and Xu Zhaozhao, and then said: "I heard that Madam Xu and Princess Yongle are coming, and the house will prepare a little wine. Please don't refuse Madam and Princess Yongle."
Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Jinhua. The situation is special now, and she cannot easily accept it.
Lin Jinyu looked at the officers and soldiers with knives, and didn't intend to force them. They are all female relatives here, and they will inevitably be bumped and injured. She just smiled and said: "Madam is not in good health. If you walk a little longer, I'm afraid you will have to fight again." Abdominal cramps, why not sit here for a while."
"How do you know..." Mrs. Zeng herself was worried that she would have a pain in her abdomen when she went back. If the adults hadn't told her to come, she would never have come out with that life-and-death feeling.
Lin Jinhua smiled and stepped forward: "Madam doesn't mind, just sit down and I'll take your pulse. If I guess correctly, Madam's disease is not difficult to treat, and it can be cured with three or five medicines."
"Seriously!" Mrs. Zeng didn't take it seriously at first, but it can be seen that she is so swearing, and she said that three or five medicines can cure the disease, so she is not tempted.
The woman on the other side wanted to remind her, but she also pushed her to the side. She only looked at Lin Jinhua with scorching eyes, and said, "Then you can see what is wrong with me. If you dare to deceive me, I will not let you go lightly." Yes, even the people of His Royal Highness King Ning will not do."
Lin Jinhua didn't panic when she saw that she was trying to test her. Hearing the sound of fighting not far away, she nodded in response.
(End of this chapter)
Seeing her bumping into him, Mo Feng made preparations a long time ago, kicked her away with one kick, and then stepped on the ground.
Lin Jinhua didn't care about the whispers and contempt of others, but said indifferently: "Where is the post guard, come out and see me."
After the words fell, Gao Zhi pulled out the anxious guard who was hiding on the side.
When the guard saw the dead person, he felt something was wrong, and when he saw the girl again, he became even more flustered, but it happened that this Miss Lin was someone His Royal Highness Ning loved, so he would stay or run away. No, I had to be dragged out by Gao Zhi.
Lin Jinhua looked at the guard who was shaking like chaff, and felt that something was wrong, so he asked him coldly, "Your Excellency seems to know something?"
The guard glanced at the girl trampled by Mo Feng, then at the dark-faced servant woman, sighed, knelt down in front of Lin Jinhua and kowtowed three times: "It's all because the villain is confused. It was last month when she was down and out, and the villain saw her pitiful, so he took her in, but today she is insane and wants to harm Miss Lin."
"Do you know that I didn't kill this servant?" Lin Jinzhen frowned slightly, and Mo Feng also felt that something was wrong: "This woman is not this servant's daughter at all."
The onlookers were all amazed. Could it be that they misunderstood Ms. Lin?
The guard looked at Gao Tian's cold knife, and nodded, "I didn't pay attention to this woman at first, but later I found out that she likes to test people for poison."
"Hahaha, didn't you know it now? Didn't you know it a long time ago? You insulted me and asked you to kill the whole family with me!" The girl who was trampled laughed wildly, Mo Feng frowned and let go , the girl raised her hand and stabbed at Lin Jinhua again, but Mo Feng opened it before she got close to Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua's face was slightly cold. The woman said that she wanted to kill herself because she wanted to let the guard's family be buried with her. In the end, the prince was so angry that he hacked and killed the guard's family who adopted her...
The woman was opened, knowing that Lin Jinhua could not be killed, she turned her head and rushed towards the guard: "You dare to rape me, I will kill you right now, beast!" After finishing speaking, she pulled out the poison-stained hairpin on her head , and stabbed fiercely towards the guard.
Gao Zhi was at the side of the guard, kicked the woman's knee in the end, saw her kneeling on the ground, and then stepped forward to let her be held down.
Seeing that the person was under control, the guard hurriedly knelt down with Lin Jinhua: "Thank you Miss Lin for saving me."
"She said you underestimated her, but is it true?" Lin Jinhua suddenly asked him coldly.
The guard's goatee trembled slightly, his thin face showed a bit of timidity, and he hurriedly said: "She seduced me, otherwise why would she ask me to save her?"
"Beast, I don't want you to save me even if I die!" The woman remembered that rainy night, she was originally from the Jianghu, she was seriously injured after fighting with the people in Qingshan Village, and fled to the foot of the mountain. The guard, never thought that the guard would take advantage of her fainting to do such a thing, and even have her martial arts abolished in order to take her by force.
The guard sarcastically said, "If you didn't seduce me with your beauty..."
Lin Jinhua didn't want to hear any more, and just looked at him coldly: "Since that's the case, you've allowed her to kill many people, right?"
"This...I..." The guard was at a loss for words.
Lin Jinhua glanced at Gao Zhi, Gao Zhi understood, and directly ordered the guards on the side: "Send it to the government, as an official, not only does not know how to obey the law, but instead rapes the women of the people and condones the murder, the crime deserves death!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly begged him: "Guard Gao, this is none of my business, I don't know..."
Gao Tian snorted softly, ignored him, and looked at the weeping woman, before asking Lin Jinhua, "Miss, how will she deal with it?"
"Murder pays for life." Although Lin Jinhua was sympathetic, she was really vicious and wanted to take revenge with her innocent life.
The woman did not refute, and was quickly taken down.
The onlookers were at a loss for words, and they felt ashamed when they thought of the outrageous accusation against Lin Jinhua just now.
The old doctor who bore the brunt was even more ashamed, his face flushed and he was about to sneak away, but suddenly he heard Lin Jinhua say: "The old doctor has a hidden disease, it is better to treat it earlier."
The old doctor's face turned even greener, and he only saluted her perfunctorily, and said sarcastically: "The villain is so cheap, I don't dare Miss Laurin to care about it. But with your little medical skills, it's better not to harm others, at a young age , I really think that outsiders boast a few words, is it a miracle doctor? If it weren't for your family background, who would say such rotten words."
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she laughed out of anger, and said, "Thank you, old doctor, for your guidance."
Seeing her indifferent look, the old doctor thought that she was guilty, her eyes became more and more cloudy, so she only hummed softly, then turned her head and left.
Xu Zhaozhao made a funny face at his back, and then stepped forward to pull Lin Jinhua: "These people are talking nonsense without knowing the situation!"
"It's okay." Lin Jinhua only felt that it was a pity that someone had ruined a beautiful morning.
It was only after the scene was cleaned up that the former enthusiastic people really found Tao Mou.
Tao Mou took office early this morning, instead of going directly to the government office, it was a wise move to inspect the area first.
Lin Jinhua saw that his face was calm, as if he didn't care about Ru Yan's affairs with her brother, and only smiled: "Master Tao, the matter has been resolved."
"I heard about it." He greeted Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao, and then looked at Lin Jinhua with a very calm expression: "When something like this happens, I will definitely pay more attention to it in the future, and try to avoid it from happening again."
Mrs. Xu saw his elegant demeanor, but didn't say much, only seeing that it was not early, she said to Lin Jinhua: "Let's go first, and we will be there in half a day."
Lin Jinhua nodded, looked at Tao Mou, and found that his gaze was also on her, a little cold.
Seeing her look, Tao Mou smiled lightly: "If Mrs. Xu and Ms. Lin encounter any problems again, they can directly inform the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will definitely handle it personally."
"Then thank you Master Tao for your kindness." Lin Jinhua smiled politely, but Tao Mou really has such a broad mind?Impossible, Tao Mou in his previous life was not a magnanimous person. Although he looked gentle and refined, how could such a person be a simple person since he was a concubine in Tao Shangshu's mansion until today, let alone the Tao family. Apart from him, the other aunts are either sickly or idiots.
From the posthouse to the carriage, Lin Jinhua felt that his gaze was on him strangely, as if he was scrutinizing and probing, and it seemed to be a calculation that was not discovered by others, as if some conspiracy was brewing.
"Jinhua, are you still worried about Tao Mou?" Mrs. Xu suddenly asked when she saw her pondering.
Lin Jinhua came back to her senses, and said truthfully: "I don't think he will let the matter between Ruyan and brother go away."
Mrs. Xu lifted the curtain of the car and looked back, seeing Tao Mou was still watching at the door, she frowned slightly, then lowered the curtain and sighed softly: "You can't blame her, after all, Miss Wang really decided to marry him. "
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded. The Lin family really owed him this point. As long as he doesn't act like a monster, it's fine to find a way to make it up for him in the future. Compared with Ru Yan, what he wants more is power. Otherwise, he would not choose to give up the choice in the palace.
Thinking all the way, the carriage bumped on the official road all morning, and finally arrived at Xiao's house before lunch.
The county where the Xiao family is located is not big, but it looks very peaceful, and the Xiao family is a scholarly home, and now it has an academy.
Just after entering the gate of the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao greeted her personally, and brought her two daughters, Xiao Zipei and Xiao Zilan, but they were younger, one was 11 years old and the other was ten years old. , these are the only two daughters born on the same day.
After lunch, I arranged to rest in the wing room, and the day was over.
The county town is not big, but it is very prosperous, because it is just at the mouth of the river, there are many big wharves, many merchant ships pass here, so there are a lot of silk and imported products here. When it was not dark, Xu Zhaozhao took her and the two younger sisters from the Xiao family out for shopping.
"Sister Jinhua, I heard that there is a ghost picking a bride here today." Xu Zhaozhao said quietly, looking at Mo Feng and Gao Zhi beside him, he immediately felt relieved.
Lin Jinhua felt novelty: "The ghost chooses the bride?"
"Yes, the ghost chooses the bride. It's actually just for fun. Someone pretends to be a ghost, and the bride is a woman watching from the audience. Whoever the ghost takes a fancy to, will directly hug the person to the stage. If the bride is willing, the ghost will take off the mask If you get it right, you can go to various houses to get married." Xiao Zipei, 11, explained.
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, are these ladies and gentlemen so worried about getting married now?
"It must be fun." Xu Zhaozhao was very excited.
Lin Jinhua was happy to see her, and was willing to join in the fun with her, so she secretly told Mo Feng to be optimistic about the Xiao sisters and Xu Zhaozhao for a while.
Soon, a table more than one meter high was set up in front of the inn near the lake, and many girls with makeup gathered under it, staring at the table lively.
Lin Jinhua was originally watching the fun outside, but she never thought that when the crowd got bigger, she would be pushed to the front, while Mo Feng and Gao Tian were also separated behind.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, when the gong sounded above, a man wearing a ghost mask came onto the stage.
"The ghost chooses the bride!"
The gong knocker shouted loudly, and then banged three more times.
The ghost seemed very shy, and bowed deeply to everyone, causing the audience to burst into laughter: "This ghost is a scholar!"
"Will you be able to hug the bride for a while..."
The people below joked wantonly, causing another burst of laughter.
The ghost seemed very nervous, looked left and right, and finally spotted the right person, then hurriedly got off the stage and led the person up.
Lin Jinhua looked at the shy girl, and then at the elegant 'ghost', it must have been the intention of Lang Youqing's concubine.
After thinking about it, the ghost lifted his mask according to the rules, and the people underneath seemed to recognize him, so he congratulated him.
After a while, they retreated, and someone came up again.
Each time was more difficult, and Lin Jinhua felt happy when she saw it, but before she was over, someone pushed her body violently, and she fell directly on the side of the table.
She turned around with a frown, and suddenly heard a loud shout from the stage: "This young lady is coming up!"
Just when Lin Jinhua was about to refuse, the ghost on the stage didn't know when it was approaching, so it grabbed her by the waist and took her captive to the stage.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, she went to look underground, only to find that Mo Feng Gaozhi and the two young ladies of the Xiao family were gone, and even Xu Zhaozhao was gone.
She suddenly remembered that she was pushed to the side of the stage by the crowd just now, those people seemed to be doing it on purpose, otherwise how could they just push herself away from other people?
"Who are you?" She asked directly.
The person wearing the mask smiled: "Miss, I fell in love with you as soon as you came to the Xiao family. You are a relative of the Xiao family, so I want to take you as my concubine!"
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth twitched, but there were a few things for sure. This person was a local, and he had followed him as soon as he got off the carriage. Could it be that he was a local snake?
If it is a local snake, it must be the local county magistrate, and she remembers that the local county magistrate's surname is Zeng...
"Your father is the county magistrate Zeng?" Lin Jinhua asked him.
The man paused slightly, a little surprised, but laughed: "What a smart woman, I like it, don't worry, even if you are a noble concubine, I will not treat you badly!" After finishing speaking, he took off his mask.
When the mask was lifted, Lin Jinhua saw the greedy gaze in his beady eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched even more...
"How about it, are you overwhelmed by the young master's appearance? Although the young master is only a scholar, your Xiao family is just a poor school. Even if there are a few noble relatives in the capital, they are still far away from the emperor. Why don't you follow me?" , eat delicious food here..."
"That's not your turn."
Before the man finished speaking, a cold voice came from behind him.
Lin Jinhua blinked, Zhao Huaiyan?Didn't he go to work?
The man turned his head suddenly, and felt that the arm blocking Lin Jinhua had been twisted off, and then a man in a black brocade suit came from the darkness and stood in front of him indifferently.
"Who are you, dare to interfere with my good affairs, do you know what will happen!" He said angrily.His father has been the county magistrate here for decades, and he has long been the local emperor here. He has never been bullied like this since he was a child, especially this man is so good-looking!
The girls below gasped when they saw Zhao Huaiyan for the first time, the man clearly fell from the sky just now, the black hair scattered behind him moved with the wind, his facial features were as clear as a knife cut, with The alienation and indifference on the outside, the pair of phoenix eyes under the sword-shaped eyebrows that entered the temples seemed to be frosty, and the thin lips were slightly pursed, which carried a dignity that could not be desecrated.
"Is he a god?"
"What a handsome man, I want to give birth to him!"
The girls ignored Lin Jinhua and stared at Zhao Huaiyan on the stage with staring eyes.
The men down here are just waiting to see the good show. Mr. Zeng doesn't say that he is the local emperor here, but he also has a noble relative in the capital, that is the famous Dingnanhou. make life difficult for.
Lin Jinhua seemed to want to understand this too, but she thought more about it.She said where did Nanhou come from to dare not to attach himself to any princes? It turned out that there was a county magistrate Zeng behind him to supply food and grass for him. In this rich land, judging by the behavior of this Mr. Zeng, his purse must be very big. .
Before she could finish thinking, she heard a commotion from below, and then officers and soldiers surrounded her with weapons in their hands. The man who looked like a master saw the gray-faced young man sitting on the ground holding an arm that seemed to be broken, and felt distressed. Hastily stepped forward: "Oh, son, what's wrong with you?"
"He was the one who broke my arm! Not only did he want to take my woman away, he also wanted to kill me!" Mr. Zeng said with confidence when he saw his own man coming, he raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Huaiyan in front of him.
The master is shrewd, Zhao Huaiyan has an extraordinary demeanor, and Lin Jinhua standing behind him is even more refined. Are these men and women ordinary people?
Just carefully stepped forward and said: "Young master, dare to ask why you hurt my young master? Where does the young master live..."
Before the master finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan turned around indifferently, looked at Lin Jinhua and said, "Did he hurt you?"
"No, but Zhao Zhao and the Xiao sisters are gone." Lin Jinhua frowned.
Seeing this, the master gritted his teeth slightly, and could only look at his young master: "Young master, why don't we go back first..."
"No, you arrest him!" After Mr. Zeng was lifted up, Dou Da's eyes were full of anger, and the freckles on his face also danced with the fat, it seemed that he was really angry .
The master wanted to stop him, but he saw Zhao Huaiyan turned sideways and said coldly: "Is this how Zeng Jiqiu raised his son? If he doesn't know how to teach, this king can do it for him."
The king?
The master was dumbfounded, these few days he had heard his lord talk about that there will be a Prince Ning coming here in the capital, could it be this one?
He tentatively stepped forward: "You are His Highness King Ning?"
"Send Miss Xu and the two young ladies of the Xiao family back safe and sound. If you lose a hair, ask Zeng Jiqiu to come and see you." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Jinhua, and said softly, "I'll send you off first." You go back."
"Yeah." Lin Jinhua nodded, and she had to take care of this matter.It has been exposed that Marquis Dingnan has plans for himself, and it is impossible to take refuge in Zhao Huaiyan in the future. In order to prevent him from becoming a member of Zhao Kan, with the treasury of Zeng County Magistrate, coupled with Marquis Dingnan's military power and ability, A tough opponent indeed.
While thinking about it, she followed Zhao Huaiyan to the stage, when suddenly a group of women rushed over and pushed Lin Jinhua away.
"My lord, this is a handkerchief embroidered by a girl."
"My lord, look, this is a purse made by a daughter of the people..."
……
Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Huaiyan, who was surrounded by women with a cold face, and was dumbfounded. Zhao Huaiyan's popularity is so high, why don't you see those ladies like this in the capital?Could it be because of the rumors that he was withdrawn and unable to enter Taoism?
As she thought about it, she actually felt like laughing, looking at Zhao Huaiyan surrounded by women, she actually expected him to turn red with anger.
But she underestimated Zhao Huaiyan, is he the kind of person who treats all women with pity?
When he saw Mr. Zeng approaching Lin Jinhua quietly on the stage, his expression turned cold, and he tapped his toes. Then he came to Lin Jinhua's side, staring at the man with cold eyes: "Is there something wrong with finding my fiancée?"
"fiancée?"
The master hurriedly came forward to look at Lin Jinhua, and hurriedly saluted: "So it's Miss Lin, offended and offended." After speaking, he hurriedly dragged the unwilling young master away.Other women can fight for it, but King Ning's woman can't. Who in the capital knows that King Ning protects his wife like his life, even though this is not his wife.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the women who were still coming behind him, with a cold expression: "Back off!"
The woman was startled, and some were already on the verge of crying.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't care about them, and glanced at Lin Jinhua nervously, seeing that she wasn't jealous, and heaved a sigh of relief, but the moment he was relieved, he felt a little unhappy?She is not jealous at all?
Lin Jinhua didn't know what he was thinking about, but felt a cool gaze on her, and looked up, just in time to see a figure passing by in the private room on the third floor of the inn not far away, as if trying to avoid herself .
"My lord, there are people there."
Zhao Huaiyan followed her gaze, saw the person who walked to the window again, and said, "I'll take you back first."
Seeing his solemn expression, Lin Jinhua knew that it might have something to do with his coming here, so she decided not to ask further questions.
Soon after an attendant drove the carriage over, Zhao Huaiyan personally helped her into the carriage, and when she was sent back to the Xiao Mansion, she left without stopping.
When Lin Jinhua came back, Xu Zhaozhao and the others were there.
Mo Feng waited for someone to come before he hurried forward and said, "Miss."
"Have you been lured away?"
"Well, it's an acquaintance." Mo Feng whispered.
Lin Jinhua understood. Looking at Xu Zhaozhao, who was worried and blamed herself, she smiled and went forward to rub her head: "I'm fine, it's getting late, go down and rest first, and we'll go out for a walk tomorrow. I heard that the lotus in this area has already bloomed." , let's go boating."
Xu Zhaozhao nodded after hearing the words, chewing tears.
The two young ladies of the Xiao family seemed to be still ignorant, and went on happily.
Lin Jinyu looked at the family and felt at ease. After returning to the room, she sent the others away and asked Mo Feng, "Who led you away?"
"He Lianjing. Presumably he followed us all the way secretly, but he didn't attack Miss." Mo Feng felt strange.
Lin Jinhua was not surprised, thinking that the person he saw in the private room of the inn just now was the purpose of He Lianjing, if Huaiyan hadn't come in time to lure other people away.I was afraid that I would have to meet that person alone.
"My lord..." Lin Jinyu sat on the side of the warm couch, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know who He Lianjing's master is? In other words, who is the real master of Shuiyun Jian?"
Seeing that she actually asked this, Mo Feng was very surprised: "Miss thinks that Helian Jing's master did all of this?"
"You seem surprised..."
"No." Mo Feng hurriedly lowered his head, with a complicated expression on his face.
Seeing that she was still in trouble, Lin Jinhua sighed secretly, and said with a smile on her face, "Forget it, it's getting late, you should go down and rest too."
"But Miss..." Mo Feng seemed to be hesitant, the prince said not to tell the lady, but repeatedly, the lady was almost in danger, would that person listen to the prince's persuasion?
Lin Jinhua looked at her and smiled slightly: "I'll talk about it when you want to. By the way, the Princess Crescent Moon you mentioned before..." Lin Jinhua mentioned these words on purpose, but seeing how she heard them The expression that changed when the word was written was already clear in my heart, and I just said without showing any traces: "How old is this year?"
"Why did Miss suddenly ask this?" Mo Feng pursed his lips slightly.
"I just heard that she is powerful, and I suddenly became curious." Lin Jinhua smiled.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be tempting, Mo Feng only smiled slightly: "This year is already twenty."
"Really?" Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes and picked up the teacup.Mo Feng even remembers exactly how old a princess who is thousands of miles away and irrelevant is this year, and the person behind her is Princess Xuanyue...
After Mo Feng left, Lin Jinhua simply washed up and lay down on the bed.
In late May, the moonlight was thin, and insects were buzzing in the yard. Lin Jinhua looked at the pale ceiling until it was dawn, and then fell asleep with closed eyes.
Huaiyan went to see her all night, but didn't come back...
In the capital, as Lin Jinhua expected, those who should be ready to move have begun to move.
When Mo Yue returned to the secluded small house, seeing that Peanut was already waiting, she stepped forward and said, "How is it?"
"Found it, Lin Duan will go to the capital tomorrow night, Mr. Yan will pick him up." Peanut followed her behind.
When Mo Yue arrived in the room, she directly studied the ink and wrote it down, before saying, "But there are other things? Have you found out how he is going to harm the master?"
Peanut shook his head apologetically: "I didn't find out, but the news came from the Tao family."
"The Tao family?" Mo Yue suddenly remembered that it was Tao Mou who told the young lady that Lin Duan was going back to Beijing and planned to murder the master.
"I see, you continue to be stared at." After speaking, he picked up his pen and began to write.
Peanut was illiterate, watched her write quickly, and said, "Sister Yue, there is one more thing..."
"Say."
"The Prince Jing's Mansion you asked me to stare at, I heard that there seems to be more people recently."
"A talented person?" Mo Yue stopped writing in her hand, "She's not dead?" Zhao Kan didn't kill her?This is where it gets interesting.
Peanut nodded: "The people guarding outside Prince Jing's mansion said that they saw the mother-in-law of King Jing's mansion buying a lot of silk and satin for women. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make offerings."
Mo Yue chuckled: "Support? It doesn't exist, and most of it is used by each other."
After finishing speaking, he sealed the envelope with wax and gave it to Peanut: "Send it to Miss."
Peanut quickly responded.
After speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.
Moyue Huasheng immediately became vigilant. This is a secret base. Normally, no one would come here. Who would come here?
Mo Yue let Peanut hide, put on the veil cap herself, and then slowly walked to the closed door and asked cautiously, "Who?"
No one answered outside, only continued knocking on the door.
Mo Yue frowned, seeing that Peanut was still hunching over at the door of the room, making a gesture of setting fire.
Peanut couldn't believe it, but seeing Mo Yue's complexion, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately closed the door tightly, poured out all the oil that had been prepared in the room before lighting the fire, and escaped through the secret passage up.
Mo Yue saw green smoke starting to burn in the room, so she stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, but the moment the courtyard door was opened, several sharp arrows shot at it immediately.
She dodged narrowly, and saw a group of officers and soldiers aiming at this place with their bows and arrows, and standing behind the officers and soldiers, who else could it be if it wasn't Zheng Lai who was rumored to be returning to Beijing in a few days?Is he coming to attack?
The corners of Mo Yue's mouth curled up coldly, she turned her head and ran away without fighting.
Seeing that she escaped so simply, Zheng Lai was a little skeptical, but before he ordered a search, he saw that the room was on fire from inside. Needless to say, the evidence he wanted inside must have been burned long ago!
Some officers and soldiers came over and said, "General, do you still want to investigate?"
Zheng Lai's face turned livid: "No need, but it seems that the secret letter said that this is Lin Luzhi's secret base. Hmph, if he can run for a while, I'll see if he can run for a lifetime!"
Lin Jinyu didn't know what was going on here, and when Mo Yue's letter arrived urgently in the afternoon, she found out that the Yan Mansion had mixed up with Lin Duan.The Yan family used to follow Jiacai, but Lin Duan's master behind the scenes was Jiacai?
She couldn't be sure based on this alone, but it was a fact that the Yan family intended to get rid of the Lin family and the Xu family.
When Xu Zhaozhao came to look for her, he saw that she was reading the letter, and he stood far away and asked, "Sister Jinhua, shall we still go rowing? The lord has asked someone to prepare the boat, and sent someone to protect it."
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly: "I'll be there in a while." Does he still have time to prepare these...
"Okay." Xu Zhaozhao nodded, not noticing that something was wrong with her.
Mo Feng came in from the outside, saw that she had put the letter on the candle and lit it up, and asked casually, "Miss, is there news from the capital?"
Lin Jinhua nodded: "Lin Duan's matter has progressed." After finishing speaking, he said, "It's getting late, let's go out."
"En." Mo Feng nodded.
After changing clothes and coming out, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xiao walked together and talked intimately. Xu Zhaozhao and the two sisters of the Xiao family were noisy and cheerful. Lin Jinzheng followed behind lightly, but just after walking out of Xiao's mansion, she felt a cool gaze. Same as last night.
She glanced at the plain carriage parked not far away, it belonged to Zhao Huaiyan, he was in it, so was she...
"Miss..." Seeing her looking at the carriage, Mo Feng whispered.
Lin Jinhua looked away lightly, seeing Mrs. Xu getting into the carriage, she also got into the carriage and left.
Seeing this, Mo Feng suddenly remembered her seemingly random question last night. The young lady is so smart, how could she be negligent!
She bit her lip slightly, looking at the prince's carriage, full of helplessness.
"Found."
The woman in the carriage spoke softly.
Zhao Huaiyan's face turned cold: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to come to Jinchao?"
"There's no place in the world I can't go to."
"A crescent moon..."
"It's been a long time since I heard you call my name. But you don't like me coming, so I'm fine if I don't come, but I don't want to wait too long, you have to deal with Jin Chao's affairs earlier." Xian Yue's bright eyes turned slightly, He only looked at the direction Lin Jinhua was leaving before seeing her up close. She is really a beautiful woman, but no matter how good-looking she is, she is just skinny.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her coldly, looked at the carriage slowly going away, her heart tightened slightly, did Jinhua notice it, the eyes she looked at just now were extremely indifferent, as if she had denied all her feelings for her generally.
The afternoon sun was very strong, and when they reached the lake full of lotus flowers, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the few people took a rest in the small building in the middle of the lake.
There are quite a few private rooms in the small building in the center of the lake, but fortunately Zhao Huaiyan had already reserved one, and the few of them looked at the clear lake water by the window, and they could also see koi swimming happily around.
Lin Jinhua looked at the lakeside and meditated, when suddenly a familiar voice broke the silence.
"Miss Lin, may I have the honor to invite you to have a drink with me on board?"
Seeing his beady eyes, Lin Jinhua became more and more thoughtful. The men around her looked like this. Does it mean that she has really become unattractive?
Thinking of this, she shook her head violently, what was she thinking about, when did she care so much about her appearance.
"Thank you Mr. Zeng for your kindness. I don't want to go on a boat when the sun is hot." Lin Jinhua refused indifferently.
This Mr. Zeng was not discouraged, and continued: "It's okay, I will hold the umbrella for you..." He said, and the servant immediately handed over a flowered umbrella.
Lin Jinhua was dumbfounded, this guy usually molests girls from good families like this.
Before she opened her mouth to refuse, the boat suddenly swayed, and Mr. Zeng, who was standing at the bow, couldn't stand still, and fell directly into the lake, splashing a large amount of water. Dumplings plopped down to save people, only then did Lin Jinhua see the culprit.Watching him slowly walking from the stern, the chill all over his body seemed to dispel the sweltering heat.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly got up and saluted: "My lord."
Lin Jinhua looked at him and looked straight at herself, for some reason, she just got up and greeted everyone like everyone else, polite and somewhat alienated.
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huaiyan wondered if she really found out, but is she jealous?
Zhao Huaiyan was in a better mood, stepped forward and said directly: "Take you on a cruise."
"It's too hot."
"There's an umbrella." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, Gao Ji quickly picked up the flower-folded umbrella Mr. Zeng had prepared just now.
Seeing how persistent he was, Lin Jinhua laughed angrily: "Your Highness is not on official business?"
"Official duties are not important." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her gently, no one was as important as her, nothing was as important as his Hua'er.
Mrs. Xiao and the young ladies of the Xiao family were stunned when they heard this, but Mrs. Xu was used to Zhao Huaiyan's unscrupulous sprinkling of dog food, she secretly held down the excited Xu Zhaozhao, and said with a smile: "Jinhua, go, the lotus is in full bloom. Just in time, we will go too in a while."
Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened. Seeing this, Lin Jinhua stepped out and boarded the boat.
Gao Jie made mistakes in the past few days, punting at the stern of the boat attentively, not listening to the conversation of the masters.
Zhao Huaiyan was holding an umbrella firmly on the bow of the boat, and when the boat sailed into the lotus garden, he said softly: "Have you heard of Princess Xuanyue?"
"Ah."
"Where is Concubine Yin, do you still remember?"
"Yes." Lin Jinhua was surprised that he would mention Concubine Yin.
"After the concubine was executed by the father, she was picked up by the Xixia monarch who was still a prince at that time. Southern Xinjiang is good at Gu insects, while Xixia is good at medicine." Zhao Huaiyan mentioned this, his face was a little dark.
Lin Jinhua was very surprised: "Could it be that Mrs. Yin..."
"Not dead, but life is better than death. I only found out about this in the past two years. It was Xianyue who saved half of her life back then, so for her and mother concubine, I have never Tell you." Zhao Huaiyan looked at the front indifferently, but it seemed that these scenes were no longer in front of him: "And the most important thing is that the father's intention to annex Xixia has already been established. Do it."
"So the prince wants to stop the emperor?"
Zhao Huaiyan shook his head slightly: "If you want to stop it, there is only one way to win the throne."
Lin Jinhua recalled that in her previous life, Zhao Huaiyan did not seize the throne, but gave it to Zhao Kan. Was it really because of helplessness?But speaking, Xixia is only a small country, but with people like Zhao Huaiyan around, it shouldn't be defeated.
Just when Lin Jinhua was thinking, Zhao Huaiyan suddenly turned to look at her: "Jinhua, do you want that position?"
If she said no, would he not?
Lin Jinhua hesitated, he didn't want the throne just for Xixia, he always wanted justice for the people who betrayed his mother and concubine and those who used him for so many years.
"I..." Before Lin Jinhua could say a word, she saw Zhao Huaiyan's face stern, and then she rose into the air with her arms around her waist. Countless bows and arrows shot from around her, and many black-clothed assassins quickly appeared underwater.
Zhao Huaiyan sneered lightly: "Is it here so soon?"
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, Zhao Huaiyan had already shouted high.
Gao Tian nodded, pulled out the fireworks around his waist, and their people quickly appeared in the dark, fighting with those assassins.
"It seems that Marquis Dingnan is ready to make a move." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly, sent Lin Jinhua to the shore, and told Mo Feng to protect her, before leaving.
Lin Jinzheng looked at his back, and his heart sank. Since the Zeng family is the local emperor here, and there are so many strange assassins lurking in, how could he have no news at all? He assigned it, but since he dared to attack, without the consent of Marquis Dingnan in the capital, no matter how bold he was, he would never dare to attack the dignified King Ning.
But Huaiyan has already prepared someone, so is he waiting for him to make a move?
Listening to the sound of fighting, Xu Zhaozhao's hands were itchy, but Mrs. Xu pinched her ears and stood aside.
Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Jinhua, and said softly: "Your Highness will be fine, do you want to inform the government first?"
"It doesn't matter, the prince will take care of it, but I'm afraid someone will come over later." Seeing that Zhao Huaiyan had already prepared, the one who will suffer this time is the county magistrate Zeng who made a rash move. .
"Who's coming?" Xu Zhaozhao asked puzzled.
Lin Jinhua smiled lightly, but before she could explain, she saw a gorgeous blue carriage stopped in front of the small building not far away. Looking at the servants who were waiting around her, Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly. Then came out a plump woman with red hairpins in her bun and dressed in expensive silk, and walked towards here.
Mrs. Xiao took a look and hurriedly said, "Isn't this the county magistrate's wife?"
"Is this lady always unable to eat?" Lin Jinhua asked suddenly.
Xu Zhaozhao chuckled softly: "Looking at how fat she is, why can't she eat?"
Mrs. Xiao looked at her in surprise and nodded: "That's exactly what I heard."
"And the lower abdomen is heavy, and I often have abdominal cramps." Lin Jinhua blinked and said.
Mrs. Xiao was even more surprised: "I heard about these by accident because my master often went to the county magistrate's mansion to teach a few young masters. People are not allowed to talk about these. How did Miss Lin know?"
"I know a little bit about medicine." Lin Jinhua heard the unstoppable fight not far away, and already had an idea in her mind.
As soon as the words fell, the county magistrate's wife had already arrived, followed by a slew of officers and soldiers with knives.
The county magistrate's wife respectfully saluted Madam Xu and Xu Zhaozhao, and then said: "I heard that Madam Xu and Princess Yongle are coming, and the house will prepare a little wine. Please don't refuse Madam and Princess Yongle."
Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Jinhua. The situation is special now, and she cannot easily accept it.
Lin Jinyu looked at the officers and soldiers with knives, and didn't intend to force them. They are all female relatives here, and they will inevitably be bumped and injured. She just smiled and said: "Madam is not in good health. If you walk a little longer, I'm afraid you will have to fight again." Abdominal cramps, why not sit here for a while."
"How do you know..." Mrs. Zeng herself was worried that she would have a pain in her abdomen when she went back. If the adults hadn't told her to come, she would never have come out with that life-and-death feeling.
Lin Jinhua smiled and stepped forward: "Madam doesn't mind, just sit down and I'll take your pulse. If I guess correctly, Madam's disease is not difficult to treat, and it can be cured with three or five medicines."
"Seriously!" Mrs. Zeng didn't take it seriously at first, but it can be seen that she is so swearing, and she said that three or five medicines can cure the disease, so she is not tempted.
The woman on the other side wanted to remind her, but she also pushed her to the side. She only looked at Lin Jinhua with scorching eyes, and said, "Then you can see what is wrong with me. If you dare to deceive me, I will not let you go lightly." Yes, even the people of His Royal Highness King Ning will not do."
Lin Jinhua didn't panic when she saw that she was trying to test her. Hearing the sound of fighting not far away, she nodded in response.
