Chapter 95 1 Zhang Dawang
Chapter 95 A Big Net
On the cobbled path of the Lin Mansion, Zhao Huaiyan took a few steps forward, and saw Lin Jinhua hurrying out of the mansion together with a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Gao Zhi said with a smile, "I never thought that Qi Xi would gain the young lady's trust so quickly."
"Not so fast, didn't you just say that Xu Chengqing was poisoned?" Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were light.
Gao Zhi nodded: "Yes, do you want your subordinates to go and have a look first?"
Zhao Huaiyan watched Lin Jinhua's carriage leave indifferently, and said: "No, the problem is not Xu Chengqing's poisoning, but the person who poisoned him. Prepare your horse and go to Dali Temple."
"Yes." Gao Tian knew that the prince cared most about Miss Lin's affairs, so he immediately agreed.
The heavy rain stopped a bit, and when the carriage was running fast, the wind blowing in was damp, making people feel more and more bored.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Dali Temple Mansion, and there were many people around the entrance. When Lin Jinzhen got off the carriage, he saw Xu Zhaozhao who was anxiously waiting at the entrance.
"Zhaozhao!" She called softly, Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly let the people around retreat when he saw her, and quickly stepped forward, pulled her teary eyes and said sadly: "Sister Jinhua, brother, he..."
"Go ahead and have a look." Lin Jinhua took her hand and hurried inside.
She is no stranger to Dali Temple. Go through the vertical flower gate on the left and go back, which is the room where the adults used to rest temporarily. Xu Chengqing has been carried out and placed on a warm couch, and Lu Yuyi is with her. Waiting on the side.
He looked at Xu Chengqing, who had a slightly dark complexion, and felt that there was no hope, so he kept shaking his head.
"Jinhua." Mrs. Xu, who was standing on the side, saw Lin Jinhua coming, and she had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She barely held back her tears and said, "Come and see."
Lin Jinhua didn't care about the many etiquettes, and hurried forward, and Doctor Lu stepped aside to wait for the result.
Lin Jinhua was also nervous. Looking at Xu Chengqing, who seemed to have no vitality at all, he slowly took his pulse, and immediately wrinkled his brows: "Take the silver needle, and prepare another medicine..." She quickly prescribed the medicine, but She was no stranger to this poison, it was the arsenic that poisoned Zheng Lai before.
On one side, Quiet silently watched her administer needles and prescribe medicine, without making a sound.
Not long after the silver needles were inserted, Lin Jinhua pulled them all out. When they reached the heart, she became more and more nervous. If the silver needles here were also black, it would be impossible for Da Luo to recover.
When the silver needle was pulled out and the tip of the needle was shining, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Soon, the medicine was brought over. After Lin Jinhua stared at the man and fed him the medicine, he began to wait nervously.The reason why the arsenic was talked about is because there is no cure for this poison. All she can do now is to stop the poison before it spreads to the heart.
Quilt rested on one side and looked at her unruffled appearance, and reminded softly: "Miss, the medicine that the prince gave you today may be able to cure this poison."
"But the poison is arsenic..."
"The medicine that the prince found for you may not be available to the nobles in the Xixia Palace. It is more than enough to cure this lord of the poison of arsenic." Quilt said with a light smile.
After Lin Jinhua heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at Mo Feng, who nodded, "I'm going right now, servant girl." After speaking, he disappeared into the room in a flash.
Mrs. Xu looked at the rest of her quilt and felt unfamiliar, so she couldn't help asking: "This is..."
"It's Aunt Xixi." After Lin Jinhua finished the introduction, she stood up and stepped aside and said, "Please ask Auntie to take Master Xu's pulse."
Seeing that she was not bossy, he was naturally happy, nodded, and went forward to put his hand on Xu Chengqing's pulse. After a long while, he finally smiled: "When the elixir is brought, it will be boiled into medicine." Soup is fine, but it takes a month of continuous consumption to force out all the poison in the body."
"Is the prince's medicine enough?"
"Miss, do you want to use all the elixir to detoxify this poison?" Quite felt a little overkill, but Lin Jinhua nodded unexpectedly: "When the medicinal materials are used up, we can find another way, but Mr. Xu's life is only one."
Quilt looked at her with no hint of heartache and stinginess in her eyes, and she was surprised in her heart. It's really rare for an ordinary lady to be so magnanimous, especially Lin Jinhua, who knows what a single elixir can do in her hands. people.
Seeing this, she also admired the prince's gaze, this Miss Lin is not an ordinary woman.
Royal Physician Lu silently watched the two of them talking, and murmured in his heart, what kind of elixir can have such effects?Could it be Tianshan snow lotus or something?
Just as he was thinking, there was another noise outside, and he heard the boy shouting: "The poisoner has been caught!"
"So fast!" Lin Jinhua told Xu Zhaozhao to take good care of Xu Chengqing, and then ran out, and saw Zhao Huaiyan standing in front of the government office, with a black cat in his hand on the side of Gao Zhi.
The black cat had green eyes and looked very spiritual. It didn't struggle at all when it was caught, as if it was looking for an opportunity to escape.
She came up in surprise and said, "My lord, this is..."
Gao Ji hurriedly smiled and went forward to explain: "There is a square-inch window in General Zheng's cell. When the prince went there just now, he found that there was a little arsenic powder on the window. the cat?"
"Is the cat poisoned?" The officials who came with him felt incredible, and discussed with each other.
"How is this possible, but this cat is also an accomplice." After Gao Zhi finished speaking, he showed the cat's wet tail. There was still something mushy on it, presumably it was stained with muddy water.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Gao Zhi said: "The cat's tail is stained with arsenic poison. The reason why the capital can't find out who bought the arsenic is because this cat is familiar with the smell of arsenic, so it goes back to find arsenic and sticks it on its body." Bring it back, as for the person who poisoned it, it should be the person who kept the cat, and one of the guards guarding the cell." After speaking, he threw the cat out, and the cat meowed, and rushed into the cell .
Gao Jie immediately led people to follow, and after a while, he brought out a servant.Unlike ordinary people who were frightened by Gao Zhi's sudden arrest and turned pale, on the contrary, they were very calm. After being arrested, they looked at Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jinhua with a sneer: "I tell you, I did all these things. , I just want you to die! Lin Jinhua, you witch, you must die..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Gao Zhi directly pushed him to kneel down on the ground, only then worriedly looked at Zhao Huaiyan who had been keeping calm and said: "My lord, what should I do?"
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the people on the ground indifferently, and said slowly: "Whoever ordered you, you don't need to tell me, this king can find it."
"You—" the guard gritted his teeth and roared, "No one instructed me. I did all these things myself, and it doesn't matter to anyone."
"Really? Where is Hexiang?" Zhao Huaiyan asked.
As soon as he mentioned the word "Hexiang", even Lin Jinhua was surprised. Isn't Hexiang sentenced to death?
Zhao Huaiyan looked at Lin Jinhua who was beside him, and then stepped forward directly, without seeming to listen to what the guard had to say.
The guard turned pale, and immediately turned his head and shouted at Zhao Huaiyan's back: "If you want to kill me, kill me, it has nothing to do with other people..."
"Kill it." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently, and went inside without looking back.
As for why it was Hexiang, it was very simple. The guard must have liked Hexiang very much, otherwise he wouldn't even carry the sachet that Hexiang embroidered and was given to Nanhou and then discarded by Dingnanhou, but It was a fact that he murdered Zheng Lai, and it was also a fact that he murdered Xu Chengqing.
Hearing the words, Gao Zhi immediately asked someone to drag him down. Everyone saw it and knew that King Ning was not wronged for killing him, but he was even more afraid of him. He had heard that King Ning was bloodthirsty before, but now it seems , seems to be right, as long as there is evidence, they will be killed mercilessly.
Lin Jinhua didn't care so much, she wanted to know who Hexiang was instigated by, otherwise, how could someone like her who should be ashamed, think of spending so much effort to stir up trouble?
Soon we reached the depths of the dungeon, because it had just rained, the place was damp and dark, and cockroaches and mice could be seen running around everywhere.This is a death row, and all the people who have been sentenced to death have been imprisoned, so after coming here, no one is crying for grievances, and they all curl up in the corner like mice, waiting for the day when they will be beheaded.
After walking a short distance, I saw a slightly cleaner cell with a separate lampstand. The woman sat cross-legged on the haystack in clean clothes. When she heard a voice, she laughed: "Xu Chengqing is dead." ?"
"I can't die." Lin Jinhua secretly clenched her palms, looking at her rampant appearance, her expression darkened.
"Really? That's a pity, but Xu Chengqing is really stupid to be able to use the same method twice." He Xiang smiled lightly, opened his eyes and looked to one side, when he saw Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jinhua standing together, The gaze is indescribably complicated; "It's really good, golden boy and jade girl."
"No more arguments?"
"There is nothing to argue. His Royal Highness King Ning came here in person. I must have found out this little trick a long time ago. I had someone smuggle in arsenic, and when Xu Chengqing was alone, someone knocked him out and gave him the medicine. Go in." After Hexiang finished speaking, she looked at Lin Jinhua and smiled, "Zheng Lai's death was easier, thanks to Ms. Lin's help, but he is really useless, he can't beat you, a little girl, even alive. , I didn't take your life down."
Lin Jinhua saw a bit of determination in her eyes, and said, "Who ordered you to do this?"
"Want to know?" He Xiang raised the corners of his mouth and blinked: "If I say I'm the Marquis of Ding Nan, would you believe me?"
"Marquis Dingnan was arrested and sent to prison." Gao Zhi said.
Hearing this, Hexiang paused first, and then laughed loudly: "I didn't get what I wanted to do, but Lin Jinhua, if you want to know, just come and ask me in person, come to hell and ask me , I will tell you..."
"You are bold!" Gao Zhi scolded angrily, but just as he finished speaking, he saw that black blood was overflowing from the corner of He Xiang's mouth, as if she had also taken the poison herself.
Lin Jinhua really couldn't figure out that Hexiang had only received some small favors from Jiacai's mother and son back then, but she could resolutely give up her life for them. Seeing this, she hurriedly looked back at Zhao Huaiyan: "My lord, what should I do? "
Zhao Huaiyan only looked at Lin Jinhua: "Do you want to continue?"
"No need." Lin Jinzheng shook her head slightly, looked at Hexiang with half-lidded eyelids, although she seemed to be looking at herself, her gaze was already elsewhere, and said: "If she dares to die like this, she must have died long ago." If you find your own way out, you may find nothing if you search again.”
Zhao Huaiyan saw that she could figure it out, so he didn't say any more, he just said: "This place is very dark, go and see Master Xu, I will deal with the rest."
"Thank you, my lord." Lin Jinhua glanced at him gratefully. Seeing that there were many adults around, she lowered her eyes and bowed before retreating.
After leaving the prison, Mo Feng also brought medicine from Lin's Mansion. Xu Chengqing's pulse has obviously improved a lot after a set of medicine, so Mrs. Xu also brought him back to Xu's Mansion. come out.
After leaving Dali Temple, looking at the sky after the rain, there is already a little sun, and the dense trees on one side are whirling with the wind, occasionally falling a few leaves, which makes people feel much smoother.
Lin Jinhua got into the carriage and was about to go to the Palace to see Wang Ruyan. Before the carriage started, people from the Princess Palace came on horseback.
Seeing her, the attendant immediately got off the horse, saluted her politely, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, the princess invites you to go to the princess mansion."
Lin Jinhua thought that something had happened to the son-in-law, so she took the quilt with her, but when she arrived, she found that the gate of the princess mansion had been tightly closed.
She opened the curtain of the car, was slightly startled, and then heard a crisp voice: "Jinhua!"
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows, but after all she got out of the carriage and looked at the person standing not far away. She changed into a black long gown and became thinner. Her eyes were shining brightly, as if she could see through people: "Your Majesty, Where are the princess and the old lady?"
"Father, mother and grandmother are going to the palace to say goodbye, and they will be here in a while." Ling Weiye walked up to Lin Jinhua and said with a smile.
"Are you leaving today?" Lin Jinhua asked.She thought that at least she had to wait for the son-in-law's injury to stabilize, but she never thought it would be so urgent.
Ling Weiye nodded: "Daddy said that if you delay, you don't know when you can leave. To go to Lituo Island, you only need to go around to the neighboring Yan Kingdom, and then you can go to the southern border. There are flat official roads and post stations along the way." , it’s all right, and mother and grandmother invited many doctors to follow, and you prescribed a prescription, so nothing will happen.”
Lin Jinhua heard that they had made arrangements, so she didn't say much, just smiled; "Then I wish you all the best in advance."
After finishing the words, she heard the sound of wheels pressing against the bluestone slab. Lin Jinhua turned her head and saw that a low-key, plain colored carriage had already stopped in front of her.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Duanhui and his son-in-law were sitting inside.
When the son-in-law saw Lin Jinhua, his mouth moved, and he only said "thank you", but Duanhui looked at Lin Jinhua happily, and said, "Thanks to you."
"Princess, you're being polite." Lin Jinhua dared not accept her thanks in vain.
Duanhui saw her like this, and said: "I have already told the emperor and the queen mother to accept you as a righteous daughter, and I have also invited you to get the title of princess, and it will be canonized in a few days."
When Ling Weiye heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Mother, when did you make this decision, how can Jinhua be my sister!"
Duanhui glanced at him, but didn't care, just said proudly to Lin Jinhua: "You don't have to be too grateful to Dade, although I accept you as a righteous daughter, but I won't allow you to call my mother." look at her.
Lin Jinhua knew her arrogant temper, so she only raised her eyebrows, and looked at the carriage behind, and Mrs. Ling was looking at it lovingly.
Lin Jinhua took a few steps forward to see the ceremony obediently, and then said, "Good journey, old lady."
"Thank you." After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at her lovingly, and sighed with a smile: "You are a good boy, but in this capital, when the fighting never stops, you have to be very careful yourself."
"Yes." Lin Jinhua felt a warm current rushing through her heart when she heard the concerned words. Even though she knew that this kindness came from her repeatedly saving the son-in-law, she still felt comfortable.She is afraid of those snakes that can't be warmed up and white-eyed wolves that can't be fed.
After exchanging pleasantries, I finally said goodbye.
When Ling Weiye left, he didn't recognize Lin Jinhua as a sister, but everyone just treated it as a child throwing a temper tantrum.
It was already past noon when the people from the Princess Mansion saw her off.
Quiet rested on one side and saw all of these, and then looked at Lin Jinhua with indifferent eyes, and liked it a little more.Except for Princess Xuanyue, she has never seen a woman of her age who is not panicked when things happen, is not chaotic in the face of danger, is not afraid of what comes, and is not arrogant when being favored. Such people, if they are not indifferent by nature, they will I have already experienced big winds and waves, and I don't care about these details anymore.
"Let's go to Cuiming Residence." Lin Jinhua felt hungry when she heard Ah Bao's stomach growling behind her for a long while.
A Bao's eyes lit up with excitement, she didn't know about other girls, anyway, she followed her girls, no matter how expensive the restaurant was, they would always have a good meal for the servants.
The most important thing for Lin Jinhua was to talk to Qin Xi about Xu Chengqing's illness, and also to find out about Xixia's news. She always felt that one day she would have in-depth contact with Xixia.
Cuimingju's business is still good, but this time they were lucky enough to book a private room.
The private room is much quieter than the lobby, and the furnishings in the room are even more particular about cleanliness.
After a meal, Lin Jinhua asked Quin Xi about Xixia. Quin Xi liked this new master, so naturally he didn't hide his words, and said everything that needed to be said.
Lin Jinhua continued to ask, but there was a faint burst of mourning in his ears, and after a while, the mourning became louder.
She pushed open the window and looked down, and saw dozens of people in white clothes were carrying the coffin forward while sprinkling ghost paper, moving slowly.
"Who's going to do the funeral?" Lin Jinhua asked, such a big battle, it should be the high officials in the capital, but there was no news of it a few days ago.
Mo Feng immediately went down to inquire, and after a while, he ran up quickly and said, "It's the Luo family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."
"Luo's family?" Lin Jinzheng frowned slightly. Isn't Luo's family the grandfather's family of Ru Yan? Could it be that Mrs. Luo passed away?
She stood by the window and looked down, but she hadn't heard Ruyan mention Mrs. Luo's death in the past two days. Pull it out and bury it?
Just as he was thinking about it, a man rushed out of the crowd, and with a clear goal, he slammed into the coffin. The coffin was knocked to the ground, but the coffin lid that was supposed to be sealed rolled over and fell to one side, and at the same time, the coffin also ran Two big living people came out.
"Damn—!"
The people were terrified and hid everywhere, when they heard the man who hit the coffin shout loudly: "It's not a ghost, it's a hidden barbarian assassin!"
"What?" Mo Feng whispered from one side: "I just heard that the barbarians are fighting in the southwest, how could someone slip into the capital and appear in Mrs. Luo's coffin.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the coffin, and seeing that Mrs. Luo's body was indeed there, her face sank slightly: "Prepare the horse immediately, let's go to Luo's Mansion."
Seeing that she seemed to have guessed something, Mo Feng didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.
Cuiming Residence is a bit far from Luo Mansion, and it took several streets to get to the entrance of Luo Mansion, but it was already late when they arrived, and someone was already standing at the door with the imperial decree.
"Harboring barbarian assassins in the Luo Mansion is an act of treason. Anyone who dares to beg for mercy will be punished as treason!"
Lin Jinyu looked at the man in the python robe who delivered the decree, and frowned slightly: "This is the fourth prince who was just conferred the title of King Xuan?" step?
"Well, it's him." Mo Feng said softly.
Lin Jinhua watched Master Luo and Mrs. Luo being tied up and pushed out, her heart sank. The Luo family and the Wang family were related by marriage. With Wang Yushi's temper, he would definitely intercede, but the emperor was suspicious by nature. As a result, the Wang family was afraid To be involved, the Wang family has just married the Lin family...
The person who designed this behind the scenes really killed three birds with one stone.
"Turn around and go to the palace immediately."
"Yes."
Luo Mansion is not too far from the Wang Mansion, the carriage ran all the way in a hurry, and soon arrived at Wang's House.
There was already a servant preparing a carriage at the gate of Wang's house. Wang Yushi was planning to enter the palace to intercede. Seeing this, Lin Jinzheng jumped out of the carriage and ran to the carriage, "My lord Wang."
Wang Yushi was about to set off, when he heard the voice, he lifted the curtain of the car and saw that it was her, he couldn't help saying: "Miss Lin, you are..."
"Your Excellency, you want to enter the palace to intercede for Lord Luo?" Lin Jinhua knew that the time was urgent, so she spoke directly.
Wang Yushi's expression turned serious, he only looked at her and said, "The Lin family had better not get involved in this matter..."
Lin Jinhua looked at him as if he knew it was a trap, and said, "Master Wang, there must be evidence for Mr. Luo's arrest this time. If you rush to intercede like this, the emperor may mistake you for an accomplice."
"Even so, I'm going. I'm a speech officer. I can say whatever I have, and I can't hide anything from the Holy Spirit. Miss Lin, I heard that Mr. Xu was poisoned in the morning and has not woken up yet. You should go to Xu's mansion to have a look." , put down the curtain, and immediately let someone drive the carriage away.
Seeing this, Mo Feng said angrily, "Why is Lord Wang so stubborn?"
"Knowing that it can't be done, I think it must be very dangerous to come to Luo's house." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she felt a cold look on her side. She turned around and looked over, but she didn't see anything strange people.
Not long after, Wang Ruyan came out with Mrs. Wang, and when she saw her there, she stepped forward: "Jinhua, why are you here?"
"Just passing by." Lin Jinhua didn't want to be too dignified and scare them. Seeing the jade hairpin on Wang Ruyan's head, which was put on by her brother yesterday, she said with a slight smile, "This hairpin is really beautiful. It's moist and translucent. You are perfect."
Wang Ruyan lowered her eyes shyly.
Mrs. Wang forced a smile, and only said to her: "Miss Lin, you should not come to Wang's house these few days, and avoid suspicion for now."
Lin Jinhua knew that she was doing it for her own good, but the more people like this, the more people want to attack the Wang family, especially the resentful Tao family, and with his elder brother's temperament, he will never stand idly by: "No need Worry about me, it's just that this matter involves treason, the emperor's imperial decree has been issued, when Lord Wang comes back, you must persuade him, it's best to stay at home these few days."
"You also know Dad's temperament. Now that my grandmother just passed away, and my uncle and aunt were arrested again, how can he sit idly by." Wang Ruyan said helplessly.
"The rebellion was ordered by the emperor. At the beginning, father was removed from his military power and official position and demoted to a commoner because of his side. This is the result of His Highness Prince Ning's pleading..." Lin Jinhua didn't make it too clear, the emperor was suspicious and ruthless, Everyone knows this.She thought for a while, and said: "I'll ask Mofeng to bring some herbal tea later. I can't taste the peculiar smell after soaking it in the tea, but after using it, people will become groggy. My lord has angered Shengyan this time."
Mrs. Wang's eyes were slightly astringent, but she still nodded, thanking her for looking at her: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It doesn't matter. As for the matter of the Luo family, His Highness Prince Ning will not just sit idly by. You just have to be careful these few days." Lin Jinhua said.
Mrs. Wang glanced at Lin Jinhua more and more gratefully, and said no more.
Lin Jinhua watched the sky getting darker, and knew that Zhao Qing had returned to the capital during this period, and it was not suitable for her to stay outside, so she left.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Wang patted Wang Ruyan's hand in relief, and sighed: "The children of the Lin family are all good. It was my mother's blindness before."
"Mother..." Wang Ruyan knew what she was referring to, but the hatred she had before was gone.
When the mother and daughter were warming each other, a hunched figure slowly approached, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed heavily, then raised his gray and dull eyes to look at them, and said: "Mother, Yaner, but what happened?"
Seeing him coming, Wang Ruyan not only hated him, but also regretted that he had used his own poison to become what he is now. She paused and said, "Something happened to Luo's family."
"Really? Does evil come with evil?" Wang Huiyuan stared straight at his sister, looked at the hairpin on her bun, squinted his eyes for a closer look, and then said with a smile: "This hairpin really fits." Did you, Lin Jincheng send it?"
Seeing his strange words and deeds, Mrs. Wang felt distressed and helpless: "Yuan'er, you are not in good health, just rest in your room. When Yan'er gets married, maybe Miss Lin will be willing to treat you." She She also thought about it, and when Yan'er married into the Lin family, she would ask Lin Jinhua to show Wang Huiyuan, if it can be cured, then treat it, if it can't be cured, it can only be regarded as retribution.
When Wang Huiyuan heard this, Jie Jie laughed, and the maid who was supporting him almost cried out of fright.
Wang Huiyuan just looked straight at Wang Ruyan, and said with a weird smile: "Mother, why do you bother? As long as Yan'er says a word, Lin Jinhua will come to treat me, right Yan'er?"
"Brother is confused, it's better to rest." Wang Ruyan always felt that there was irony in his words.
"I'm not confused. You've fascinated Lin Jincheng so much that you haven't had sex with him yet..."
"Bastard!" Mrs. Wang scolded angrily before he could finish speaking.
Wang Huiyuan was stunned by the scolding, but smiled more and more bleakly: "Forget it, this Wang family has long been unable to tolerate me, even if I am for your own good. Since you don't appreciate it, then that's all. But Yan'er, my brother wishes you in advance The wedding went well."
Wang Ruyan looked into his cold eyes, secretly clenched her trembling hands, and didn't make a sound.
At night, the coolness of the day passes, and it becomes sultry at night.
Lin Jinhua asked Mo Yue Mofeng to inquire about Luo's family, then soaked in warm water in the bathtub, and began to think about today's events carefully. This is her habit, and she always likes to talk about these things before going to bed. Stroke it carefully, like a taut string, not daring to let go.
Just as she was thinking, when the window moved, she immediately got up and pulled off the bathrobe on one side, put it on, and carefully hid behind the hanging curtain on one side.
He likes to sneak in in the middle of the night, although it's only Zhao Huaiyan, but Zhao Huaiyan's movements are always light and won't make such noises, the person who came this time was obviously clumsy.
Not long after she waited, she saw a black shadow slowly approaching here.
She remembered that Mo Feng had been sent away, and Mo Xue hadn't come back to Zhuangzi so far. Although Ah Bao was guarding outside, it might be too late when she yelled out.
She wrapped her bathrobe tightly and didn't dare to move. After the figure had completely walked in, she carefully looked through the curtain. It was indeed a man's figure.
The man checked the temperature of the water in the bathtub, and smiled clearly.The water is still hot, and there is no one inside, that person must be hiding in this bathroom.
He looked at the hanging curtains around him, and began to search slowly. Lin Jinhua's heart was in her throat. Now she was wearing a bathrobe and didn't even have wax pills. If he found out, she would have to fight to the death.
Just as she was thinking, the curtain covering her was pulled up abruptly, so she raised her eyes to look at the person coming, but she could recognize those red phoenix eyes even if she died!
"King Jing, you are crazy!"
She looked at the person in front of her coldly, with hatred in her heart, why, she still wanted to ruin her innocence, so she could only commit herself to him, even if she killed him in this life, she wouldn't even think about it.
Zhao Kan looked at the person in front of him, his face was flushed due to the fumigation of hot water, his hair was wet by the hot water, and fell from his ears to his neck, as if there were still water droplets sliding down slowly, his eyes were foggy, as if he was just born. Cheng Huanguo's posture, the red lips were slightly pursed with thin anger, so beautiful that I can't wait for people to eat it in one bite.
Her hands tightly held the thin bathrobe on her body. The white bathrobe had already been wetted by the drying water, and the curves of her body seemed to be visible...
Just seeing this, the evil fire in his body rushed down.
"If I don't get you again, I'm really going crazy, Lin Jinhua, marry me!" After Zhao Kan finished speaking, he squeezed her wrist tightly and kissed her neck.
Lin Jinhua's knee was raised violently. He didn't guard against it, and his face turned pale from the pain, but he still refused to let go of his hand. He just gritted his teeth and looked at her: "You hurt me, do you want to be a widow?"
"Where do you have the confidence that I will give you a widow? Even if you succeed today, I will not marry you!" Lin Jinhua's eyes were red, but she was already afraid in her heart.If he really succeeded, how would she face Huai Yan?
"If you don't marry me, do you still want to marry another man?"
"It's not your place to marry a cat or a dog on the side of the road!" After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she watched him grab her arm and bite it down hard, but he didn't even groan, and directly hit her horizontally Hug up.
Lin Jinhua's mind began to spin rapidly. There was a hairpin on her head, and she couldn't hide it. When he came forcibly, she died with him...
It's just that she is really not reconciled, her beautiful life, her Huaiyan...
Just as she was thinking about dying together, a cold wind passed by her ears, and she heard Zhao Kan's muffled groan in an instant, and there was a smell of blood in the air, and she also fell into a familiar embrace.
"Huaiyan..." Lin Jinhua smelled the unique fragrance on his body, and her heart finally fell back into her stomach. Without thinking, she raised her hand to hook his neck and hugged him tightly.
Zhao Kan clutched his scratched arm, looked at Lin Jinhua in front of him, and gritted his teeth angrily: "Lin Jinhua, you have no shame!"
Lin Jinhua ignored him, she wanted him to see clearly that she only had Huaiyan in her heart now, and she would only have Huaiyan in this life, who cares if she is honest or not.
"I will treat you as if you have never been here before, get out." Zhao Huaiyan embraced the person in his arms, looked indifferently at Zhao Kan who was wearing a mask, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.
"You..." Zhao Kan was about to speak, but the sword in Zhao Huaiyan's hand swished past Zhao Kan's ear, and chopped off a strand of his hair.
Looking at Lin Jinhua still holding Zhao Huaiyan tightly and not letting go, Zhao Kan felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart: "I won't let go just like that!" Anyway, if we want to fight, it's better to make it clear now.
Zhao Huaiyan stared at him indifferently, without making a sound.Zhao Kan wanted to fight, but he also wanted to see how capable he was.
Seeing that he ignored him, Zhao Kan was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out. He couldn't see Lin Jinhua being intimate with him anymore, so he turned his head and left.
As soon as he left, Zhao Huaiyan looked at the person in his arms: "Did he hurt you?"
"No." Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, but she really didn't expect Zhao Kan to be so crazy just now. Under such a situation, it is really desperate to dare to break into Lin's mansion alone.
"I was negligent."
"Don't blame the prince, Zhao Kan is crazy." Lin Jinhua looked up at the joy in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Fortunately, the prince came in time."
"When will Lin Jincheng marry Ms. Wang?" Zhao Huaiyan could feel the softness on her body through the thin clothes when she hugged him just now, so she couldn't help asking.
Lin Jinhua was puzzled, but still said: "My brother was afraid of delaying my marriage, so I made it next month in advance..."
"I think he has already made preparations for your marriage."
"more or less."
"Well, one marriage and one marriage bring double happiness." Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her and said deeply.
Lin Jinhua suddenly realized that he was planning to advance the wedding date, so she couldn't help but burrowed into his neck, but halfway through, she remembered that she was only wearing a thin bathrobe, and because of her shyness and nervousness, it was already wet a lot , now clinging to him...
Her face was flushed, and she didn't care what Zhao Huaiyan thought, so she refused to raise her head anyway.
But this night, it became another night of tired hands.
Early the next morning, Lin Jinhua vaguely heard Zhao Huaiyan's voice giving instructions to Gao Bing outside, with a hint of anger in her tone, presumably because of what happened last night, but she was too tired, so she barely listened to a few words, He was dragged back to sleep by the sleepy bug again, and slept until it was dawn before finally getting up.
The matter of the Luo family soon became clear. She sat on the porch and watched A Bao drying scented tea, and then she heard Mo Yue say: "Someone secretly sneaked into the palace and almost assassinated the emperor. Because of this incident, the emperor secretly sent Prince Xuan Investigation, but Mrs. Luo's death seems to be really an accident, but why she was buried without stopping, I am afraid that only Mr. Luo knows."
Lin Jinhua thought for a while before saying, "Perhaps I still need to meet Mr. Luo."
"The problem now is that Mr. Luo is a serious criminal. People from Prince Xuan's Mansion and Dali Temple are in custody at the same time. If Mr. Xu is not here, ordinary people can't see Mr. Luo at all." Mo Yue wondered.
"Then what might you inquire about with those yamen servants?"
"The slave has already ordered Peanut to do it, but I heard that King Xuan is in strict control, so I don't know how much I can ask." Mo Yue said.
Lin Jinhua rubbed the center of her brows, and said, "Ask first, we'll talk about it later." Since Luo's mansion was convicted of treason, it must not be easily dealt with.
"Where's the Wang family?" Lin Jinhua suddenly asked again.
Speaking of this, Ah Bao flipped through his scented tea and laughed: "Master, I went straight to Wang's house early in the morning. I heard that Mr. Wang fell ill after returning to the mansion yesterday, and he is at home on leave."
Lin Jinhua saw that Abao was speaking clearly and logically, so she turned her head and asked her with a smile, "You also know about this?"
"That's right, the servants in the mansion have been discussing this matter recently, and they said that the barbarians assassinated the emperor because they colluded with the people in Beijing..." Ah Bao said every sentence, but no one else could catch it. Abnormally, Lin Jinhua's heart became colder the more he listened. The palace has not yet come to a conclusion on such matters. How did the servants of Lin's mansion know this?He also spoke clearly and logically, as if it happened in the Lin Mansion.
Her complexion was gloomy, and she immediately said: "Immediately give orders, find the servant who said these words and bring them to me immediately, if anyone else dares to mention a word, they will be slapped eighty times, and a monthly fine of one year will be fined!"
When Ah Bao heard this, his hands trembled, and he quickly covered his mouth tightly.
Seeing that the matter was getting serious, Mo Feng immediately brought someone down to investigate.
Mo Yue said cautiously on the side: "Miss, do you think this was spread on purpose?"
"Well, go to Wang's family and Xu's house to see if there are servants who are saying similar things. If so, please tell your aunt and Mrs. Wang immediately." Are you planning to wipe them all out?If so, then this person's scheming is really terrifying.
After thinking about it, she felt uneasy, and before Mo Feng came back, she got up and wanted to go out first, but before she could go out, the queen mother's order came.
The father-in-law who passed the decree looked at her happily, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is really lucky. Now that she has been rewarded by the Queen Mother as the princess of Chunhe, she must be more cautious in her words and deeds in the future, and set an example for all the girls."
Chunhe?
Lin Jinhua said lightly in her heart, "My daughter, thank the Queen Mother for the reward."
"The princess doesn't need to be too polite. The queen mother still has an oral order. It will be the queen mother's birthday in a few days. The princess will immediately enter the palace and wait on her side until the birthday banquet is over." The father-in-law handed the edict to her before laughing .
Lin Jinhua paused a little while taking Yizhi's hand, looked up at the eunuch who was smiling brightly, and said, "Eunuch, do you mean to enter the palace now?"
"Why, the princess is not happy?"
"I don't dare, my father-in-law please wait a little while, my daughter-in-law go back and prepare a few sets of clothes..."
"No need, the empress dowager has already prepared a new one for you, princess, please." After the father-in-law said, he turned sideways, and a row of court ladies had already greeted him.
Lin Jinhua knew that there was no way to avoid it, but the Empress Dowager also called her to go with a big fanfare under the slogan of eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha. It shouldn't be a big deal, but when she looked at this father-in-law who seemed to only laugh, she felt a little bit in her heart disturbed.
(End of this chapter)
On the cobbled path of the Lin Mansion, Zhao Huaiyan took a few steps forward, and saw Lin Jinhua hurrying out of the mansion together with a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Gao Zhi said with a smile, "I never thought that Qi Xi would gain the young lady's trust so quickly."
"Not so fast, didn't you just say that Xu Chengqing was poisoned?" Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were light.
Gao Zhi nodded: "Yes, do you want your subordinates to go and have a look first?"
Zhao Huaiyan watched Lin Jinhua's carriage leave indifferently, and said: "No, the problem is not Xu Chengqing's poisoning, but the person who poisoned him. Prepare your horse and go to Dali Temple."
"Yes." Gao Tian knew that the prince cared most about Miss Lin's affairs, so he immediately agreed.
The heavy rain stopped a bit, and when the carriage was running fast, the wind blowing in was damp, making people feel more and more bored.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Dali Temple Mansion, and there were many people around the entrance. When Lin Jinzhen got off the carriage, he saw Xu Zhaozhao who was anxiously waiting at the entrance.
"Zhaozhao!" She called softly, Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly let the people around retreat when he saw her, and quickly stepped forward, pulled her teary eyes and said sadly: "Sister Jinhua, brother, he..."
"Go ahead and have a look." Lin Jinhua took her hand and hurried inside.
She is no stranger to Dali Temple. Go through the vertical flower gate on the left and go back, which is the room where the adults used to rest temporarily. Xu Chengqing has been carried out and placed on a warm couch, and Lu Yuyi is with her. Waiting on the side.
He looked at Xu Chengqing, who had a slightly dark complexion, and felt that there was no hope, so he kept shaking his head.
"Jinhua." Mrs. Xu, who was standing on the side, saw Lin Jinhua coming, and she had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She barely held back her tears and said, "Come and see."
Lin Jinhua didn't care about the many etiquettes, and hurried forward, and Doctor Lu stepped aside to wait for the result.
Lin Jinhua was also nervous. Looking at Xu Chengqing, who seemed to have no vitality at all, he slowly took his pulse, and immediately wrinkled his brows: "Take the silver needle, and prepare another medicine..." She quickly prescribed the medicine, but She was no stranger to this poison, it was the arsenic that poisoned Zheng Lai before.
On one side, Quiet silently watched her administer needles and prescribe medicine, without making a sound.
Not long after the silver needles were inserted, Lin Jinhua pulled them all out. When they reached the heart, she became more and more nervous. If the silver needles here were also black, it would be impossible for Da Luo to recover.
When the silver needle was pulled out and the tip of the needle was shining, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Soon, the medicine was brought over. After Lin Jinhua stared at the man and fed him the medicine, he began to wait nervously.The reason why the arsenic was talked about is because there is no cure for this poison. All she can do now is to stop the poison before it spreads to the heart.
Quilt rested on one side and looked at her unruffled appearance, and reminded softly: "Miss, the medicine that the prince gave you today may be able to cure this poison."
"But the poison is arsenic..."
"The medicine that the prince found for you may not be available to the nobles in the Xixia Palace. It is more than enough to cure this lord of the poison of arsenic." Quilt said with a light smile.
After Lin Jinhua heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at Mo Feng, who nodded, "I'm going right now, servant girl." After speaking, he disappeared into the room in a flash.
Mrs. Xu looked at the rest of her quilt and felt unfamiliar, so she couldn't help asking: "This is..."
"It's Aunt Xixi." After Lin Jinhua finished the introduction, she stood up and stepped aside and said, "Please ask Auntie to take Master Xu's pulse."
Seeing that she was not bossy, he was naturally happy, nodded, and went forward to put his hand on Xu Chengqing's pulse. After a long while, he finally smiled: "When the elixir is brought, it will be boiled into medicine." Soup is fine, but it takes a month of continuous consumption to force out all the poison in the body."
"Is the prince's medicine enough?"
"Miss, do you want to use all the elixir to detoxify this poison?" Quite felt a little overkill, but Lin Jinhua nodded unexpectedly: "When the medicinal materials are used up, we can find another way, but Mr. Xu's life is only one."
Quilt looked at her with no hint of heartache and stinginess in her eyes, and she was surprised in her heart. It's really rare for an ordinary lady to be so magnanimous, especially Lin Jinhua, who knows what a single elixir can do in her hands. people.
Seeing this, she also admired the prince's gaze, this Miss Lin is not an ordinary woman.
Royal Physician Lu silently watched the two of them talking, and murmured in his heart, what kind of elixir can have such effects?Could it be Tianshan snow lotus or something?
Just as he was thinking, there was another noise outside, and he heard the boy shouting: "The poisoner has been caught!"
"So fast!" Lin Jinhua told Xu Zhaozhao to take good care of Xu Chengqing, and then ran out, and saw Zhao Huaiyan standing in front of the government office, with a black cat in his hand on the side of Gao Zhi.
The black cat had green eyes and looked very spiritual. It didn't struggle at all when it was caught, as if it was looking for an opportunity to escape.
She came up in surprise and said, "My lord, this is..."
Gao Ji hurriedly smiled and went forward to explain: "There is a square-inch window in General Zheng's cell. When the prince went there just now, he found that there was a little arsenic powder on the window. the cat?"
"Is the cat poisoned?" The officials who came with him felt incredible, and discussed with each other.
"How is this possible, but this cat is also an accomplice." After Gao Zhi finished speaking, he showed the cat's wet tail. There was still something mushy on it, presumably it was stained with muddy water.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Gao Zhi said: "The cat's tail is stained with arsenic poison. The reason why the capital can't find out who bought the arsenic is because this cat is familiar with the smell of arsenic, so it goes back to find arsenic and sticks it on its body." Bring it back, as for the person who poisoned it, it should be the person who kept the cat, and one of the guards guarding the cell." After speaking, he threw the cat out, and the cat meowed, and rushed into the cell .
Gao Jie immediately led people to follow, and after a while, he brought out a servant.Unlike ordinary people who were frightened by Gao Zhi's sudden arrest and turned pale, on the contrary, they were very calm. After being arrested, they looked at Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jinhua with a sneer: "I tell you, I did all these things. , I just want you to die! Lin Jinhua, you witch, you must die..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Gao Zhi directly pushed him to kneel down on the ground, only then worriedly looked at Zhao Huaiyan who had been keeping calm and said: "My lord, what should I do?"
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the people on the ground indifferently, and said slowly: "Whoever ordered you, you don't need to tell me, this king can find it."
"You—" the guard gritted his teeth and roared, "No one instructed me. I did all these things myself, and it doesn't matter to anyone."
"Really? Where is Hexiang?" Zhao Huaiyan asked.
As soon as he mentioned the word "Hexiang", even Lin Jinhua was surprised. Isn't Hexiang sentenced to death?
Zhao Huaiyan looked at Lin Jinhua who was beside him, and then stepped forward directly, without seeming to listen to what the guard had to say.
The guard turned pale, and immediately turned his head and shouted at Zhao Huaiyan's back: "If you want to kill me, kill me, it has nothing to do with other people..."
"Kill it." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently, and went inside without looking back.
As for why it was Hexiang, it was very simple. The guard must have liked Hexiang very much, otherwise he wouldn't even carry the sachet that Hexiang embroidered and was given to Nanhou and then discarded by Dingnanhou, but It was a fact that he murdered Zheng Lai, and it was also a fact that he murdered Xu Chengqing.
Hearing the words, Gao Zhi immediately asked someone to drag him down. Everyone saw it and knew that King Ning was not wronged for killing him, but he was even more afraid of him. He had heard that King Ning was bloodthirsty before, but now it seems , seems to be right, as long as there is evidence, they will be killed mercilessly.
Lin Jinhua didn't care so much, she wanted to know who Hexiang was instigated by, otherwise, how could someone like her who should be ashamed, think of spending so much effort to stir up trouble?
Soon we reached the depths of the dungeon, because it had just rained, the place was damp and dark, and cockroaches and mice could be seen running around everywhere.This is a death row, and all the people who have been sentenced to death have been imprisoned, so after coming here, no one is crying for grievances, and they all curl up in the corner like mice, waiting for the day when they will be beheaded.
After walking a short distance, I saw a slightly cleaner cell with a separate lampstand. The woman sat cross-legged on the haystack in clean clothes. When she heard a voice, she laughed: "Xu Chengqing is dead." ?"
"I can't die." Lin Jinhua secretly clenched her palms, looking at her rampant appearance, her expression darkened.
"Really? That's a pity, but Xu Chengqing is really stupid to be able to use the same method twice." He Xiang smiled lightly, opened his eyes and looked to one side, when he saw Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jinhua standing together, The gaze is indescribably complicated; "It's really good, golden boy and jade girl."
"No more arguments?"
"There is nothing to argue. His Royal Highness King Ning came here in person. I must have found out this little trick a long time ago. I had someone smuggle in arsenic, and when Xu Chengqing was alone, someone knocked him out and gave him the medicine. Go in." After Hexiang finished speaking, she looked at Lin Jinhua and smiled, "Zheng Lai's death was easier, thanks to Ms. Lin's help, but he is really useless, he can't beat you, a little girl, even alive. , I didn't take your life down."
Lin Jinhua saw a bit of determination in her eyes, and said, "Who ordered you to do this?"
"Want to know?" He Xiang raised the corners of his mouth and blinked: "If I say I'm the Marquis of Ding Nan, would you believe me?"
"Marquis Dingnan was arrested and sent to prison." Gao Zhi said.
Hearing this, Hexiang paused first, and then laughed loudly: "I didn't get what I wanted to do, but Lin Jinhua, if you want to know, just come and ask me in person, come to hell and ask me , I will tell you..."
"You are bold!" Gao Zhi scolded angrily, but just as he finished speaking, he saw that black blood was overflowing from the corner of He Xiang's mouth, as if she had also taken the poison herself.
Lin Jinhua really couldn't figure out that Hexiang had only received some small favors from Jiacai's mother and son back then, but she could resolutely give up her life for them. Seeing this, she hurriedly looked back at Zhao Huaiyan: "My lord, what should I do? "
Zhao Huaiyan only looked at Lin Jinhua: "Do you want to continue?"
"No need." Lin Jinzheng shook her head slightly, looked at Hexiang with half-lidded eyelids, although she seemed to be looking at herself, her gaze was already elsewhere, and said: "If she dares to die like this, she must have died long ago." If you find your own way out, you may find nothing if you search again.”
Zhao Huaiyan saw that she could figure it out, so he didn't say any more, he just said: "This place is very dark, go and see Master Xu, I will deal with the rest."
"Thank you, my lord." Lin Jinhua glanced at him gratefully. Seeing that there were many adults around, she lowered her eyes and bowed before retreating.
After leaving the prison, Mo Feng also brought medicine from Lin's Mansion. Xu Chengqing's pulse has obviously improved a lot after a set of medicine, so Mrs. Xu also brought him back to Xu's Mansion. come out.
After leaving Dali Temple, looking at the sky after the rain, there is already a little sun, and the dense trees on one side are whirling with the wind, occasionally falling a few leaves, which makes people feel much smoother.
Lin Jinhua got into the carriage and was about to go to the Palace to see Wang Ruyan. Before the carriage started, people from the Princess Palace came on horseback.
Seeing her, the attendant immediately got off the horse, saluted her politely, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, the princess invites you to go to the princess mansion."
Lin Jinhua thought that something had happened to the son-in-law, so she took the quilt with her, but when she arrived, she found that the gate of the princess mansion had been tightly closed.
She opened the curtain of the car, was slightly startled, and then heard a crisp voice: "Jinhua!"
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows, but after all she got out of the carriage and looked at the person standing not far away. She changed into a black long gown and became thinner. Her eyes were shining brightly, as if she could see through people: "Your Majesty, Where are the princess and the old lady?"
"Father, mother and grandmother are going to the palace to say goodbye, and they will be here in a while." Ling Weiye walked up to Lin Jinhua and said with a smile.
"Are you leaving today?" Lin Jinhua asked.She thought that at least she had to wait for the son-in-law's injury to stabilize, but she never thought it would be so urgent.
Ling Weiye nodded: "Daddy said that if you delay, you don't know when you can leave. To go to Lituo Island, you only need to go around to the neighboring Yan Kingdom, and then you can go to the southern border. There are flat official roads and post stations along the way." , it’s all right, and mother and grandmother invited many doctors to follow, and you prescribed a prescription, so nothing will happen.”
Lin Jinhua heard that they had made arrangements, so she didn't say much, just smiled; "Then I wish you all the best in advance."
After finishing the words, she heard the sound of wheels pressing against the bluestone slab. Lin Jinhua turned her head and saw that a low-key, plain colored carriage had already stopped in front of her.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Duanhui and his son-in-law were sitting inside.
When the son-in-law saw Lin Jinhua, his mouth moved, and he only said "thank you", but Duanhui looked at Lin Jinhua happily, and said, "Thanks to you."
"Princess, you're being polite." Lin Jinhua dared not accept her thanks in vain.
Duanhui saw her like this, and said: "I have already told the emperor and the queen mother to accept you as a righteous daughter, and I have also invited you to get the title of princess, and it will be canonized in a few days."
When Ling Weiye heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Mother, when did you make this decision, how can Jinhua be my sister!"
Duanhui glanced at him, but didn't care, just said proudly to Lin Jinhua: "You don't have to be too grateful to Dade, although I accept you as a righteous daughter, but I won't allow you to call my mother." look at her.
Lin Jinhua knew her arrogant temper, so she only raised her eyebrows, and looked at the carriage behind, and Mrs. Ling was looking at it lovingly.
Lin Jinhua took a few steps forward to see the ceremony obediently, and then said, "Good journey, old lady."
"Thank you." After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at her lovingly, and sighed with a smile: "You are a good boy, but in this capital, when the fighting never stops, you have to be very careful yourself."
"Yes." Lin Jinhua felt a warm current rushing through her heart when she heard the concerned words. Even though she knew that this kindness came from her repeatedly saving the son-in-law, she still felt comfortable.She is afraid of those snakes that can't be warmed up and white-eyed wolves that can't be fed.
After exchanging pleasantries, I finally said goodbye.
When Ling Weiye left, he didn't recognize Lin Jinhua as a sister, but everyone just treated it as a child throwing a temper tantrum.
It was already past noon when the people from the Princess Mansion saw her off.
Quiet rested on one side and saw all of these, and then looked at Lin Jinhua with indifferent eyes, and liked it a little more.Except for Princess Xuanyue, she has never seen a woman of her age who is not panicked when things happen, is not chaotic in the face of danger, is not afraid of what comes, and is not arrogant when being favored. Such people, if they are not indifferent by nature, they will I have already experienced big winds and waves, and I don't care about these details anymore.
"Let's go to Cuiming Residence." Lin Jinhua felt hungry when she heard Ah Bao's stomach growling behind her for a long while.
A Bao's eyes lit up with excitement, she didn't know about other girls, anyway, she followed her girls, no matter how expensive the restaurant was, they would always have a good meal for the servants.
The most important thing for Lin Jinhua was to talk to Qin Xi about Xu Chengqing's illness, and also to find out about Xixia's news. She always felt that one day she would have in-depth contact with Xixia.
Cuimingju's business is still good, but this time they were lucky enough to book a private room.
The private room is much quieter than the lobby, and the furnishings in the room are even more particular about cleanliness.
After a meal, Lin Jinhua asked Quin Xi about Xixia. Quin Xi liked this new master, so naturally he didn't hide his words, and said everything that needed to be said.
Lin Jinhua continued to ask, but there was a faint burst of mourning in his ears, and after a while, the mourning became louder.
She pushed open the window and looked down, and saw dozens of people in white clothes were carrying the coffin forward while sprinkling ghost paper, moving slowly.
"Who's going to do the funeral?" Lin Jinhua asked, such a big battle, it should be the high officials in the capital, but there was no news of it a few days ago.
Mo Feng immediately went down to inquire, and after a while, he ran up quickly and said, "It's the Luo family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."
"Luo's family?" Lin Jinzheng frowned slightly. Isn't Luo's family the grandfather's family of Ru Yan? Could it be that Mrs. Luo passed away?
She stood by the window and looked down, but she hadn't heard Ruyan mention Mrs. Luo's death in the past two days. Pull it out and bury it?
Just as he was thinking about it, a man rushed out of the crowd, and with a clear goal, he slammed into the coffin. The coffin was knocked to the ground, but the coffin lid that was supposed to be sealed rolled over and fell to one side, and at the same time, the coffin also ran Two big living people came out.
"Damn—!"
The people were terrified and hid everywhere, when they heard the man who hit the coffin shout loudly: "It's not a ghost, it's a hidden barbarian assassin!"
"What?" Mo Feng whispered from one side: "I just heard that the barbarians are fighting in the southwest, how could someone slip into the capital and appear in Mrs. Luo's coffin.
Lin Jinhua glanced at the coffin, and seeing that Mrs. Luo's body was indeed there, her face sank slightly: "Prepare the horse immediately, let's go to Luo's Mansion."
Seeing that she seemed to have guessed something, Mo Feng didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.
Cuiming Residence is a bit far from Luo Mansion, and it took several streets to get to the entrance of Luo Mansion, but it was already late when they arrived, and someone was already standing at the door with the imperial decree.
"Harboring barbarian assassins in the Luo Mansion is an act of treason. Anyone who dares to beg for mercy will be punished as treason!"
Lin Jinyu looked at the man in the python robe who delivered the decree, and frowned slightly: "This is the fourth prince who was just conferred the title of King Xuan?" step?
"Well, it's him." Mo Feng said softly.
Lin Jinhua watched Master Luo and Mrs. Luo being tied up and pushed out, her heart sank. The Luo family and the Wang family were related by marriage. With Wang Yushi's temper, he would definitely intercede, but the emperor was suspicious by nature. As a result, the Wang family was afraid To be involved, the Wang family has just married the Lin family...
The person who designed this behind the scenes really killed three birds with one stone.
"Turn around and go to the palace immediately."
"Yes."
Luo Mansion is not too far from the Wang Mansion, the carriage ran all the way in a hurry, and soon arrived at Wang's House.
There was already a servant preparing a carriage at the gate of Wang's house. Wang Yushi was planning to enter the palace to intercede. Seeing this, Lin Jinzheng jumped out of the carriage and ran to the carriage, "My lord Wang."
Wang Yushi was about to set off, when he heard the voice, he lifted the curtain of the car and saw that it was her, he couldn't help saying: "Miss Lin, you are..."
"Your Excellency, you want to enter the palace to intercede for Lord Luo?" Lin Jinhua knew that the time was urgent, so she spoke directly.
Wang Yushi's expression turned serious, he only looked at her and said, "The Lin family had better not get involved in this matter..."
Lin Jinhua looked at him as if he knew it was a trap, and said, "Master Wang, there must be evidence for Mr. Luo's arrest this time. If you rush to intercede like this, the emperor may mistake you for an accomplice."
"Even so, I'm going. I'm a speech officer. I can say whatever I have, and I can't hide anything from the Holy Spirit. Miss Lin, I heard that Mr. Xu was poisoned in the morning and has not woken up yet. You should go to Xu's mansion to have a look." , put down the curtain, and immediately let someone drive the carriage away.
Seeing this, Mo Feng said angrily, "Why is Lord Wang so stubborn?"
"Knowing that it can't be done, I think it must be very dangerous to come to Luo's house." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she felt a cold look on her side. She turned around and looked over, but she didn't see anything strange people.
Not long after, Wang Ruyan came out with Mrs. Wang, and when she saw her there, she stepped forward: "Jinhua, why are you here?"
"Just passing by." Lin Jinhua didn't want to be too dignified and scare them. Seeing the jade hairpin on Wang Ruyan's head, which was put on by her brother yesterday, she said with a slight smile, "This hairpin is really beautiful. It's moist and translucent. You are perfect."
Wang Ruyan lowered her eyes shyly.
Mrs. Wang forced a smile, and only said to her: "Miss Lin, you should not come to Wang's house these few days, and avoid suspicion for now."
Lin Jinhua knew that she was doing it for her own good, but the more people like this, the more people want to attack the Wang family, especially the resentful Tao family, and with his elder brother's temperament, he will never stand idly by: "No need Worry about me, it's just that this matter involves treason, the emperor's imperial decree has been issued, when Lord Wang comes back, you must persuade him, it's best to stay at home these few days."
"You also know Dad's temperament. Now that my grandmother just passed away, and my uncle and aunt were arrested again, how can he sit idly by." Wang Ruyan said helplessly.
"The rebellion was ordered by the emperor. At the beginning, father was removed from his military power and official position and demoted to a commoner because of his side. This is the result of His Highness Prince Ning's pleading..." Lin Jinhua didn't make it too clear, the emperor was suspicious and ruthless, Everyone knows this.She thought for a while, and said: "I'll ask Mofeng to bring some herbal tea later. I can't taste the peculiar smell after soaking it in the tea, but after using it, people will become groggy. My lord has angered Shengyan this time."
Mrs. Wang's eyes were slightly astringent, but she still nodded, thanking her for looking at her: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It doesn't matter. As for the matter of the Luo family, His Highness Prince Ning will not just sit idly by. You just have to be careful these few days." Lin Jinhua said.
Mrs. Wang glanced at Lin Jinhua more and more gratefully, and said no more.
Lin Jinhua watched the sky getting darker, and knew that Zhao Qing had returned to the capital during this period, and it was not suitable for her to stay outside, so she left.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Wang patted Wang Ruyan's hand in relief, and sighed: "The children of the Lin family are all good. It was my mother's blindness before."
"Mother..." Wang Ruyan knew what she was referring to, but the hatred she had before was gone.
When the mother and daughter were warming each other, a hunched figure slowly approached, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed heavily, then raised his gray and dull eyes to look at them, and said: "Mother, Yaner, but what happened?"
Seeing him coming, Wang Ruyan not only hated him, but also regretted that he had used his own poison to become what he is now. She paused and said, "Something happened to Luo's family."
"Really? Does evil come with evil?" Wang Huiyuan stared straight at his sister, looked at the hairpin on her bun, squinted his eyes for a closer look, and then said with a smile: "This hairpin really fits." Did you, Lin Jincheng send it?"
Seeing his strange words and deeds, Mrs. Wang felt distressed and helpless: "Yuan'er, you are not in good health, just rest in your room. When Yan'er gets married, maybe Miss Lin will be willing to treat you." She She also thought about it, and when Yan'er married into the Lin family, she would ask Lin Jinhua to show Wang Huiyuan, if it can be cured, then treat it, if it can't be cured, it can only be regarded as retribution.
When Wang Huiyuan heard this, Jie Jie laughed, and the maid who was supporting him almost cried out of fright.
Wang Huiyuan just looked straight at Wang Ruyan, and said with a weird smile: "Mother, why do you bother? As long as Yan'er says a word, Lin Jinhua will come to treat me, right Yan'er?"
"Brother is confused, it's better to rest." Wang Ruyan always felt that there was irony in his words.
"I'm not confused. You've fascinated Lin Jincheng so much that you haven't had sex with him yet..."
"Bastard!" Mrs. Wang scolded angrily before he could finish speaking.
Wang Huiyuan was stunned by the scolding, but smiled more and more bleakly: "Forget it, this Wang family has long been unable to tolerate me, even if I am for your own good. Since you don't appreciate it, then that's all. But Yan'er, my brother wishes you in advance The wedding went well."
Wang Ruyan looked into his cold eyes, secretly clenched her trembling hands, and didn't make a sound.
At night, the coolness of the day passes, and it becomes sultry at night.
Lin Jinhua asked Mo Yue Mofeng to inquire about Luo's family, then soaked in warm water in the bathtub, and began to think about today's events carefully. This is her habit, and she always likes to talk about these things before going to bed. Stroke it carefully, like a taut string, not daring to let go.
Just as she was thinking, when the window moved, she immediately got up and pulled off the bathrobe on one side, put it on, and carefully hid behind the hanging curtain on one side.
He likes to sneak in in the middle of the night, although it's only Zhao Huaiyan, but Zhao Huaiyan's movements are always light and won't make such noises, the person who came this time was obviously clumsy.
Not long after she waited, she saw a black shadow slowly approaching here.
She remembered that Mo Feng had been sent away, and Mo Xue hadn't come back to Zhuangzi so far. Although Ah Bao was guarding outside, it might be too late when she yelled out.
She wrapped her bathrobe tightly and didn't dare to move. After the figure had completely walked in, she carefully looked through the curtain. It was indeed a man's figure.
The man checked the temperature of the water in the bathtub, and smiled clearly.The water is still hot, and there is no one inside, that person must be hiding in this bathroom.
He looked at the hanging curtains around him, and began to search slowly. Lin Jinhua's heart was in her throat. Now she was wearing a bathrobe and didn't even have wax pills. If he found out, she would have to fight to the death.
Just as she was thinking, the curtain covering her was pulled up abruptly, so she raised her eyes to look at the person coming, but she could recognize those red phoenix eyes even if she died!
"King Jing, you are crazy!"
She looked at the person in front of her coldly, with hatred in her heart, why, she still wanted to ruin her innocence, so she could only commit herself to him, even if she killed him in this life, she wouldn't even think about it.
Zhao Kan looked at the person in front of him, his face was flushed due to the fumigation of hot water, his hair was wet by the hot water, and fell from his ears to his neck, as if there were still water droplets sliding down slowly, his eyes were foggy, as if he was just born. Cheng Huanguo's posture, the red lips were slightly pursed with thin anger, so beautiful that I can't wait for people to eat it in one bite.
Her hands tightly held the thin bathrobe on her body. The white bathrobe had already been wetted by the drying water, and the curves of her body seemed to be visible...
Just seeing this, the evil fire in his body rushed down.
"If I don't get you again, I'm really going crazy, Lin Jinhua, marry me!" After Zhao Kan finished speaking, he squeezed her wrist tightly and kissed her neck.
Lin Jinhua's knee was raised violently. He didn't guard against it, and his face turned pale from the pain, but he still refused to let go of his hand. He just gritted his teeth and looked at her: "You hurt me, do you want to be a widow?"
"Where do you have the confidence that I will give you a widow? Even if you succeed today, I will not marry you!" Lin Jinhua's eyes were red, but she was already afraid in her heart.If he really succeeded, how would she face Huai Yan?
"If you don't marry me, do you still want to marry another man?"
"It's not your place to marry a cat or a dog on the side of the road!" After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, she watched him grab her arm and bite it down hard, but he didn't even groan, and directly hit her horizontally Hug up.
Lin Jinhua's mind began to spin rapidly. There was a hairpin on her head, and she couldn't hide it. When he came forcibly, she died with him...
It's just that she is really not reconciled, her beautiful life, her Huaiyan...
Just as she was thinking about dying together, a cold wind passed by her ears, and she heard Zhao Kan's muffled groan in an instant, and there was a smell of blood in the air, and she also fell into a familiar embrace.
"Huaiyan..." Lin Jinhua smelled the unique fragrance on his body, and her heart finally fell back into her stomach. Without thinking, she raised her hand to hook his neck and hugged him tightly.
Zhao Kan clutched his scratched arm, looked at Lin Jinhua in front of him, and gritted his teeth angrily: "Lin Jinhua, you have no shame!"
Lin Jinhua ignored him, she wanted him to see clearly that she only had Huaiyan in her heart now, and she would only have Huaiyan in this life, who cares if she is honest or not.
"I will treat you as if you have never been here before, get out." Zhao Huaiyan embraced the person in his arms, looked indifferently at Zhao Kan who was wearing a mask, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.
"You..." Zhao Kan was about to speak, but the sword in Zhao Huaiyan's hand swished past Zhao Kan's ear, and chopped off a strand of his hair.
Looking at Lin Jinhua still holding Zhao Huaiyan tightly and not letting go, Zhao Kan felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart: "I won't let go just like that!" Anyway, if we want to fight, it's better to make it clear now.
Zhao Huaiyan stared at him indifferently, without making a sound.Zhao Kan wanted to fight, but he also wanted to see how capable he was.
Seeing that he ignored him, Zhao Kan was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out. He couldn't see Lin Jinhua being intimate with him anymore, so he turned his head and left.
As soon as he left, Zhao Huaiyan looked at the person in his arms: "Did he hurt you?"
"No." Lin Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, but she really didn't expect Zhao Kan to be so crazy just now. Under such a situation, it is really desperate to dare to break into Lin's mansion alone.
"I was negligent."
"Don't blame the prince, Zhao Kan is crazy." Lin Jinhua looked up at the joy in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "Fortunately, the prince came in time."
"When will Lin Jincheng marry Ms. Wang?" Zhao Huaiyan could feel the softness on her body through the thin clothes when she hugged him just now, so she couldn't help asking.
Lin Jinhua was puzzled, but still said: "My brother was afraid of delaying my marriage, so I made it next month in advance..."
"I think he has already made preparations for your marriage."
"more or less."
"Well, one marriage and one marriage bring double happiness." Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her and said deeply.
Lin Jinhua suddenly realized that he was planning to advance the wedding date, so she couldn't help but burrowed into his neck, but halfway through, she remembered that she was only wearing a thin bathrobe, and because of her shyness and nervousness, it was already wet a lot , now clinging to him...
Her face was flushed, and she didn't care what Zhao Huaiyan thought, so she refused to raise her head anyway.
But this night, it became another night of tired hands.
Early the next morning, Lin Jinhua vaguely heard Zhao Huaiyan's voice giving instructions to Gao Bing outside, with a hint of anger in her tone, presumably because of what happened last night, but she was too tired, so she barely listened to a few words, He was dragged back to sleep by the sleepy bug again, and slept until it was dawn before finally getting up.
The matter of the Luo family soon became clear. She sat on the porch and watched A Bao drying scented tea, and then she heard Mo Yue say: "Someone secretly sneaked into the palace and almost assassinated the emperor. Because of this incident, the emperor secretly sent Prince Xuan Investigation, but Mrs. Luo's death seems to be really an accident, but why she was buried without stopping, I am afraid that only Mr. Luo knows."
Lin Jinhua thought for a while before saying, "Perhaps I still need to meet Mr. Luo."
"The problem now is that Mr. Luo is a serious criminal. People from Prince Xuan's Mansion and Dali Temple are in custody at the same time. If Mr. Xu is not here, ordinary people can't see Mr. Luo at all." Mo Yue wondered.
"Then what might you inquire about with those yamen servants?"
"The slave has already ordered Peanut to do it, but I heard that King Xuan is in strict control, so I don't know how much I can ask." Mo Yue said.
Lin Jinhua rubbed the center of her brows, and said, "Ask first, we'll talk about it later." Since Luo's mansion was convicted of treason, it must not be easily dealt with.
"Where's the Wang family?" Lin Jinhua suddenly asked again.
Speaking of this, Ah Bao flipped through his scented tea and laughed: "Master, I went straight to Wang's house early in the morning. I heard that Mr. Wang fell ill after returning to the mansion yesterday, and he is at home on leave."
Lin Jinhua saw that Abao was speaking clearly and logically, so she turned her head and asked her with a smile, "You also know about this?"
"That's right, the servants in the mansion have been discussing this matter recently, and they said that the barbarians assassinated the emperor because they colluded with the people in Beijing..." Ah Bao said every sentence, but no one else could catch it. Abnormally, Lin Jinhua's heart became colder the more he listened. The palace has not yet come to a conclusion on such matters. How did the servants of Lin's mansion know this?He also spoke clearly and logically, as if it happened in the Lin Mansion.
Her complexion was gloomy, and she immediately said: "Immediately give orders, find the servant who said these words and bring them to me immediately, if anyone else dares to mention a word, they will be slapped eighty times, and a monthly fine of one year will be fined!"
When Ah Bao heard this, his hands trembled, and he quickly covered his mouth tightly.
Seeing that the matter was getting serious, Mo Feng immediately brought someone down to investigate.
Mo Yue said cautiously on the side: "Miss, do you think this was spread on purpose?"
"Well, go to Wang's family and Xu's house to see if there are servants who are saying similar things. If so, please tell your aunt and Mrs. Wang immediately." Are you planning to wipe them all out?If so, then this person's scheming is really terrifying.
After thinking about it, she felt uneasy, and before Mo Feng came back, she got up and wanted to go out first, but before she could go out, the queen mother's order came.
The father-in-law who passed the decree looked at her happily, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is really lucky. Now that she has been rewarded by the Queen Mother as the princess of Chunhe, she must be more cautious in her words and deeds in the future, and set an example for all the girls."
Chunhe?
Lin Jinhua said lightly in her heart, "My daughter, thank the Queen Mother for the reward."
"The princess doesn't need to be too polite. The queen mother still has an oral order. It will be the queen mother's birthday in a few days. The princess will immediately enter the palace and wait on her side until the birthday banquet is over." The father-in-law handed the edict to her before laughing .
Lin Jinhua paused a little while taking Yizhi's hand, looked up at the eunuch who was smiling brightly, and said, "Eunuch, do you mean to enter the palace now?"
"Why, the princess is not happy?"
"I don't dare, my father-in-law please wait a little while, my daughter-in-law go back and prepare a few sets of clothes..."
"No need, the empress dowager has already prepared a new one for you, princess, please." After the father-in-law said, he turned sideways, and a row of court ladies had already greeted him.
Lin Jinhua knew that there was no way to avoid it, but the Empress Dowager also called her to go with a big fanfare under the slogan of eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha. It shouldn't be a big deal, but when she looked at this father-in-law who seemed to only laugh, she felt a little bit in her heart disturbed.
