Chapter 97 No wonder
The Yikun palace was very quiet, only the smell of the spices that the queen had been burning was still there.
When Lin Jinhua came in, the palace servants on both sides stood with their heads down, silent as if they were wooden figures. There was no ice in the room to cool off the heat, and it was very stuffy.
Lin Jinhua walked a little further, only to see the queen leaning on the side of the beauty's couch with empty eyes. She hadn't seen her in just a few months, and the elegance and grace she had on her before seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a trace of desolation and death. She felt that being deprived of the phoenix seal and being imprisoned in Yikun Palace was equivalent to being thrown into limbo.
When she heard the voice, she said without raising her head: "Bengong said, I'm not hungry, so I don't need to bring food."
"Your Majesty." Hearing this, Lin Jinhua stepped forward and saluted.
Hearing a different voice, the queen finally raised her head, and seeing her, her eyes flickered: "Why would the emperor allow you to visit this palace? Could it be that Huaiyan has seized..."
"The lord is still outside the palace. The emperor sent his courtiers here to tell the empress that the confinement of the empress has been relieved." Lin Jinhua knew what she was going to say, and before she finished speaking, she interrupted without regard to etiquette.
The queen didn't believe it, how could the emperor relieve her restraint for no reason?
"What's going on, why did the emperor suddenly behave like this?" the queen asked her suspiciously.
"It's because the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming up soon. The Empress Dowager De concubine pleaded with the Empress Dowager for you, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor agreed." Lin Jinhua tried to explain the matter concisely, looked at her complicated eyes, and smiled Said: "The emperor still misses the empress, otherwise how could he agree. If you don't want to change your clothes now, the empress should go and thank you."
Hearing this, the queen twitched the corners of her mouth and revealed a cool smile: "Whether the emperor is sympathetic or ruthless, I'm afraid only the dead Concubine Yin will know."
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, and glanced at Mo Feng: "You all go out and wait, I will help you change your clothes."
Mo Feng responded immediately, took the palace people to guard the door, and paid close attention to the movement around him.
After everyone had left, Lin Jinhua stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Someone is watching secretly, so please be careful, ma'am."
The queen glanced at her and said, "I never thought the emperor would send you here."
"After the death of Jiacai, the emperor mistakenly thought that the prince and you were plotting against each other, so he has been cautious all the time. It must be a temptation to let the minister's daughter come this time." Lin Jinhua finished speaking in a low voice, and then said loudly: "My lady, my minister Let the maid help you change your clothes."
The queen's palms tightened slightly: "Jiacai is dead?"
"I'll tell you later, my servant." Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes and said, the death of Jiacai was all thanks to the spices she burned all day long.
The queen also slowly pulled away from the previous loneliness, stood up, but did not ask Lin Jinzheng to serve her, and went to the inner room to change her clothes by herself.
Seeing that she still had such an attitude towards him, Lin Jinhua could only remain silent, but fortunately she had calmed down and understood these things in general, presumably nothing would happen again.
Not long after, the empress came out in a change of palace robe. The phoenix robe with bright yellow embroidered phoenix and the gold and ruby jewelry made her look noble again. But after this incident, she seemed to be more cautious and more cautious. Be timid.
After changing his clothes, he left Yikun Palace and went to Compassion Palace.
The queen walked in a small sedan chair, and didn't care about Lin Jinhua at all. Lin Jinhua had to walk behind, because she couldn't run in the palace, and she was thrown away by the queen after a while.
Only then did Mo Feng take the opportunity to say to the side: "Miss, why does the empress do not seem to appreciate your affection at all?"
"She is a high-ranking queen, and the stubbornness in her bones makes her never bow to me." Lin Jinhua was also helpless, obviously she was about to marry Huai Yan, and she was also a kind of person with the queen, but she still wanted to treat her as a stumbling block.
Mo Feng glanced at the Queen's leaving back, and said coldly, "She almost killed Miss in Puji Temple last time, but now she doesn't even have a word of thanks. It's really not worth the risk for Miss to think so much about her." .”
Lin Jinhua only sighed slightly; "Thinking about her is thinking about the prince." They are inseparable at all.
After she finished speaking, she didn't think about it any more, she speeded up and followed her, but before she reached the Compassionate Peace Palace, she saw a palace maid coming out of the corridor on one side, and stopped her to salute her, Cai said: "Princess Chunhe, Empress Defei has an invitation."
Lin Jinhua secretly winked at Mo Feng on one side, then turned to look at the maid: "I'm going to return to the Queen Mother and the Emperor first..."
"It doesn't matter, the Empress Concubine De has sent someone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to tell you on your behalf, you go to the Palace of Yonghe first." The maid smiled, as if she was going against Concubine De if she didn't leave.
Seeing that the matter had reached this point, Lin Jinhua had no choice but to compromise, but when she turned to leave, Mo Feng intentionally took two steps behind, and hurriedly turned around and slipped away as soon as they turned the corner.
Lin Jinhua looked at the maid who was following her, and asked casually, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Jing came to the palace today?" The emperor said that Zhao Kan was coming to bid farewell, so he should be still in Yonghe Palace now?
"Yes."
"Is your empress calling me over this time because of King Jing's business?" Lin Jinhua asked again.
"This..." The maid looked at her hesitantly, and said: "I don't know, I will know when the princess goes. Don't worry, after all, it is in Yonghe Palace, and nothing will happen."
"I didn't think anything would happen. After all, the empress dowager and the emperor also knew that I had gone to the Yonghe Palace, right?" Lin Jinhua asked after listening to her.
When the maid heard the words, her eyes flickered, and she forced a smile: "Yes."
Seeing this, Lin Jinhua already understood in her heart that she was afraid that no one would go to the Compassion Palace to say anything. If she didn't go back for a long time or something happened, Concubine De could completely reason that it was because she didn't follow the rules and didn't return to the Compassion Palace in time. It was caused by Ning Gong, but Mo Feng has already arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning by now.
She was thinking as she walked, and she would arrive soon.
The maids of Yonghe Palace were all standing in the corridor, the door of the palace was half-closed, as if they deliberately did not allow people to see what was going on inside.
Lin Jinhua looked around vigilantly, thinking that if Zhao Kan went crazy again, Concubine De would not allow it, so she stepped in, but the maid from just now did not accompany her but stayed under the corridor.
She only stepped in with one foot, and before she could stand still, she felt a gust of cool wind blowing beside her. Because Zhao Kan went crazy that night, she had already made preparations, and before the figure approached, the silver needle in her hand had already drawn out. He came out, and when his arm wrapped around his waist, he stabbed hard.
Zhao Kan immediately flicked his hand away in pain, looked at the shining silver needles on his arm, and couldn't understand why it hurt so much.
"Are you going to kill me?" he asked angrily.
Seeing that it was really him, and Concubine De was sitting in the first seat as if she couldn't see him, Lin Jinzheng took two steps back and stood at the gate of the hall so that people who came in could see her, and then said coldly: "Your Highness, if you want to Belittle the courtiers, the courtiers would rather perish together."
"You don't like me that much?" Zhao Kan felt sad for no reason.
"A courtier's daughter is not a woman in the mountains who doesn't understand etiquette. If you want to come to such a noble prince, you won't understand." Lin Jinhua's tone was not pleading at all.
Zhao Kan was about to step forward, and Concubine De then put the teacup on the table heavily, and said, "Kan'er, haven't you had enough trouble yet? Chunhe Princess is going to die with you, yet you still can't let it go." Could it be that this obsession is caused by being bewitched by someone's spell?"
"Concubine Mother..." Zhao Kan wanted to say more, but Concubine De didn't want to listen any more, so she just ordered in a low voice, "Come on, Lin Jinhua dared to hurt King Jing, drag her down and slap her mouth for thirty, as a warning to others."
Lin Jinzheng's palms were slightly tight, no matter what she did today, Concubine De would have to show her anger.
Immediately, a court lady came in from outside, and Zhao Kan scolded: "Retire all, my king!"
"Kan'er, do you still want to protect her?" Concubine De didn't like Lin Jinhua more and more, and she was so fascinated by Kan'er, who had always been obedient, that she dared to challenge her now, so why don't you suppress her well today? Her arrogance, I really don't know what to do in the future!
"Didn't hear what my concubine said? Drag it on..."
"I don't see who would dare. Concubine Mu, her needles don't hurt at all, and didn't we agree to call her here to ask her something." After Zhao Kan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the concubine De before she could speak. Looking at Lin Jinhua, she took out the carefully guarded strand of hair and asked, "Did you ask someone to give it to me?"
Lin Jinhua glanced at her eyes, her eyes were light-colored: "The body and skin are affected by the parents, and the ministers and daughters dare not cut their hair in private. The prince may have misunderstood."
"How can I misunderstand, it clearly smells like you..."
"My lord!" Lin Jinhua saw that he was going too far, so she said coldly: "I am a woman who was raised in a deep boudoir, and no matter what the taste you said, I really don't believe it, just ask someone to check my daughter's hair, really It doesn't have to be so humiliating."
"I—" Seeing that she was really angry, Zhao Kan was speechless. He wanted to explain but couldn't understand. Looking at her hair hanging behind her, he raised his hand and picked it up and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, took two steps back, and fell directly outside the hall. If she hadn't barely held on to the pillars outside, she might have fallen straight out.
Seeing this, Zhao Kan immediately chased him out, saying, "Jinhua, I didn't mean to..."
"Oh princess, you are actually here, it's easy to find the slaves."
A sharp voice came, and Zhao Kan looked up, and saw that Eunuch An had walked in with a smile.
Concubine De saw the person coming, she knew that the emperor probably knew about it, so she hurriedly walked out holding the maid's hand, and said with a smile: "This concubine invited Miss Lin to sit down, it really disturbed Eunuch An."
"What did you say?" Eunuch An pretended not to notice what Zhao Kan was doing, and saluted with a smile, before saying, "It was the girl next to Ms. Lin who said that she got separated from Ms. Lin. The emperor likes it now." This newly recognized niece was worried that Ms. Lin would accidentally break into the ladies' bedroom and disturb the ladies, so she sent the servants out to look for her."
"Now that I've found it, you can go first." Looking at Lin Jinhua who avoided him like a poisonous snake, Zhao Kan felt uncomfortable and said coldly.
Lin Jinhua immediately said: "It's okay for the concubine De to find a courtier's daughter. The courtier will go back to serve the Queen Mother first. After all, her birthday is approaching, and the courtier's daughter has been summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother's favor, so she dare not delay."
Concubine De looked at her, then at Eunuch An, this time it was good, one moved out of the empress dowager, and the other moved out of the emperor, even if she wanted to stay, she couldn't.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Kan said, "Where is the empress dowager right now..."
"My daughter just wants to be with the Queen Mother all the time, and please forgive King Jing and Concubine De." Lin Jinhua immediately lowered her eyes and interrupted him.
Zhao Kan wanted to say more, so he heard Concubine De say: "Okay, this concubine is no match for the Queen Mother, if you want to be filial, then go."
Zhao Kan wanted to speak, but Concubine De secretly teased her before swallowing her words.
Eunuch An kept their reactions in mind, and seeing that Zhao Kan was no longer pestering, he stepped aside and asked Lin Jinhua to go out first.
As soon as they left, Zhao Kan slammed his fist on the pillar on one side with red eyes.
Concubine De saw him like this, and she couldn't wait to see Lin Jinhua more and more, but she only glanced at him and said coldly: "Okay, the emperor ordered you to leave Beijing today, it's almost time now, you should go too. Later, if you want to go out There are hundreds of women, why are you so obsessed with her now?"
"But I can't wait anymore..." Zhao Kan thought that Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan's wedding date was almost November, but now it's June, and there are only four more months. Do it!
Concubine De hurriedly dismissed the people around her before she whispered: "What are you talking about, how can you mention it here?"
"But mother and concubine, isn't father the emperor who can't tolerate the Xiong family?"
"I know..." Concubine De's eyes dimmed, but she still hesitated, because not only was she restored to the concubine position this time, the emperor could have taken the opportunity to suppress Kan'er, but he only let him go to the southwest, which made her feel that the emperor was not a concubine. Don't value Kan'er.
She hesitated for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can discuss this matter with your uncle in the southwest, and you must listen to your uncle's words."
Zhao Kan felt a little more comforted at the thought of being able to cause trouble. He looked down at the strand of black hair in his palm and clenched it tightly before walking away.
Lin Jinhua came out of Yonghe Palace with Eunuch An, turned left and right, and came to an abandoned palace.
She was still wondering why Mo Feng was missing, so Eunuch An said with a smile: "Master, the slave is waiting for you outside, but you have to hurry up."
Just as Lin Jinhua was feeling surprised, she saw that Eunuch An had closed the palace gate from the outside, and there were footsteps behind him.
When she turned her head, she saw Zhao Huaiyan in scarlet clothes standing under the big tree in the courtyard with her hands behind her back.The leaves are green, and the breeze blows the swaying sunlight, making him look a little warmer.
"Come here." Zhao Huaiyan said softly.
Lin Jinhua took a few steps forward, but before he reached him, he took a step forward and held her in his arms.The butterflies gathering pollen flew past her eyes in summer, and Lin Jinhua only felt that this hug seemed to instantly calm down the hatred and anger that was raging in her heart just now.
"Tomorrow's birthday banquet, follow me carefully. After the birthday banquet, I will take you home." Zhao Huaiyan said softly.
When Lin Jinhua heard the phrase 'take you home', her eyes were slightly astringent, and her grievances flooded up inexplicably.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her even tighter, rubbing her little head lightly.
After a long while, Lin Jinhua let him go, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me too much. Today, the Emperor asked me to let the Queen Empress out. I always feel that the Emperor seems to be testing something."
Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand and rubbed her head, seeing her stern serious face, his heart seemed to soften, and he said: "Fortunately, it's just a test rather than a confirmation, but if you don't want to get in touch with the queen, you can Don't take her too seriously."
Lin Jinhua was surprised, did he see through his own thoughts?
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huaiyan smiled deeper: "She has always wanted to control me, but now she finds that I am more inclined to you, she will naturally be unhappy, so let her go."
Hearing what he said, Lin Jinhua heaved a sigh of relief and laughed.
Not long after, Eunuch An knocked on the door outside: "Master, it's almost time."
Hearing this, Lin Jinhua asked Zhao Huaiyan: "Eunuch An is also yours?"
"That's right." Zhao Huaiyan said, "If there is an urgent matter, you can also find him."
Lin Jinhua agreed, but knew in her heart that she would never look for Eunuch An again.If Eunuch An is really Zhao Huaiyan's person and has been arranged by the emperor's side for so many years, once the emperor notices that something is wrong, it will be a disaster for Eunuch An.
Seeing her leaving safely, Zhao Huaiyan's expression slowly sank, Zhao Kan was really too rampant.
Lin Jinhua went all the way to the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, only to see Mo Feng who was waiting anxiously. Seeing that she was not injured, Mo Feng let go of the stone in his heart and said, "Miss, the emperor is going to the imperial garden with the empress dowager. Go or stay and rest?"
"Let's go back to the room first." After speaking, he politely bowed to Mr. An before going back to the side hall.
It will be the Empress Dowager's birthday soon, and she still has to figure out how to get through tomorrow smoothly. The Concubine De is eyeing her like a tiger, and she will not let her go easily. The most important thing is that even if the Empress is released from the palace, she won't be able to help her for the time being. busy.
After resting for a while, I heard someone say that the nobleman wanted to see her.
Mo Feng just removed the complicated bun for her and combed it into a simple one. Hearing this, he asked her: "Miss, the Empress Dowager doesn't seem to like this noble lady very much, can we go see her?"
"Your heart is hard for me." Lin Jinhua said in a low voice, if you go to see her, you will offend the queen mother, if you don't go, you will offend the emperor.
After thinking about it, she still nodded, she wanted to see her eventually, why not go and see her now.
The maids in the Empress Dowager's palace were all calm and calm, and they didn't ask much when they saw her go out, they only told her not to walk around and said nothing more.
After leaving the door of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Lin Jinhua saw the person waiting at the door, his appearance was still the same, but compared to the astonishment when he first met, he seemed a little more flashy and vulgar.
Seeing her coming, Xue Wenxin seemed very happy, and immediately smiled and said, "Long time no see, it's great to have an acquaintance to talk to now."
Lin Jinhua saw that she was still the same as before, as if she didn't mind Jiacai's death at all, so she said with a smile: "I don't know that the nobleman has won the favor of the emperor in a blink of an eye. My servant will congratulate the nobleman first."
"Why are you and I being so polite, by the way..." She seemed to have thought of something, and after dismissing the maids, she whispered: "Tomorrow I have something to ask for your help."
"My lord, please tell me, if Jinhua can do it, I will definitely do it." Seeing that she was about to tell her purpose, Lin Jinhua only rolled her eyes and smiled slightly.
"It's not a big deal, but tomorrow I will perform a dance for the empress dowager. I heard that the empress dowager likes butterflies, so I want some medicine powder that can attract butterflies tomorrow. Do you have any?" she asked in distress.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua shook her head apologetically: "There has never been such a medicinal powder."
"That's it..." Xue Wenxin replied in disappointment, and then a court lady came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has called you to serve in the Imperial Garden."
"I'll go right away." Xue Wenxin said lightly to the maid, and then looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I have to go first, the emperor has been taking care of me recently, and he won't be able to leave me for a while."
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she was a little curious whether she really had her tail on the sky, or if she told herself on purpose.But seeing her smiling all over her face, there was no abnormality at all.
Lin Jinhua bowed her knees and saluted, Xue Wenxin left with a smile.
When the people walked away, Mo Feng said in a low voice: "It seems that this noble person is not an easy one." The emperor drove her out of the palace like that before, but now he can make the nearly fifty-year-old emperor like her so much, If the heart is really pure, how could it be possible to make it to the present under the empress dowager's displeasure?
Lin Jinhua watched her holding the maid's hand slowly disappear around the corner, and said, "Then what's so special about butterflies?"
Speaking of this, Mo Feng, who was always calm, was not very happy: "The former concubine Yin has heard that her body has a strange fragrance. Every time in midsummer, when she dances together, a thin fragrance will be emitted from her body, attracting this butterfly."
"I see..." Lin Jinhua did not have any medicine that could attract butterflies, but he still had medicine to drive them away.
She turned and went back to the palace, and the person who had been staring at the cat all this time turned back to Yikun Palace.
The news that the queen was pardoned quickly spread among the people, but the people didn't welcome her to the world, but repeated the tragedy of the Puji Temple, and the people's resentment towards the queen seemed to be growing. bigger.
Inside the Zheng Mansion, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
Zheng Jiaojiao took the steps of a lady, walked slowly to the first seat with tea, and then saluted, and said in a soft voice: "My lord, please have tea."
"Miss Zheng is getting more and more beautiful." Zhao Qing glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao who had been carefully dressed, and said with a smile.
On one side, Mr. Zheng laughed loudly, and then said: "Jiaojiao is not too young now..."
"Isn't that just right, this king still lacks a concubine." Zhao Qing took Zheng Jiaojiao's tea, and his fingers brushed her hand as if unintentionally.
Zheng Jiaojiao's face was blushing, she looked at the equally handsome Prince of Yu Zhao Qing with peach blossom eyes, her heartbeat became faster and faster, she said softly, "My daughter-in-law, go down first."
"Go down and do what you want, you can listen to everything I said to your father." Zhao Qing looked at her deeply, as if he couldn't move his eyes.
Master Zheng became more and more happy when he saw this, and he said to Zheng Jiaojiao: "My lord told you to sit down, so you can sit down, don't be bound by such vain etiquette."
Zheng Jiaojiao was naturally happy, she saluted gracefully, and sat down on the side of a ladylike lady, with a gentle look, but she didn't see Zhao Qing's indifference for a moment when she looked at her.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, King Ning is still trying to find a way to rescue the Luo family, what do you think? Although I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, it is not easy to do it." Zheng Daren said humanely.
"Your Excellency doesn't need to act, King Xuan will take care of it. Now that he has given birth to the only royal grandson of the royal family, and a concubine Li who has swollen to the heights of the sky, do you think they will allow the Luo family to come out, be grateful to King Ning and become a King Ning's right-hand man." Zhao Qing smiled lightly.
"My lord, what do you mean..."
"No rush. The Luo family's biggest reliance is the Wang family. As long as someone from the Wang family is willing to testify, the Luo family will die without a place to bury them." Zhao Qing laughed.
Master Zheng still frowned: "Then you mean to completely destroy the Luo family?"
Zhao Qing shook his head instead: "The Luo family is a first-class family after all, and Mr. Luo is a person who is said to be indistinguishable by the officials. With him around, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings? When both King Xuan and King Ning are unable to recover, this king only needs to let that traitor from the Wang family be killed." Hand it over, and everything will be solved."
Mr. Zheng thought about it for a while, and couldn't help admiring: "My lord is thoughtful, I am ashamed to be an official."
"Your Majesty Zheng is polite. But since this king has been exposed, he will show up in the next few days to 'return to Beijing', and then we can make arrangements for the marriage with Miss Zheng." Zhao Qing looked deeply at Zheng Jiaojiao who was on the side. With a deep smile, Mr. Zheng also laughed loudly.
The corners of Zhao Qing's mouth curled up, his eyes were slightly cold, and he only walked outside the mansion.Zhao Huaiyan, let me see how you fight with me this time.You have Lin Jinhua as your weakness, but I don't!
A black horse quickly passed the crowd, and then hurriedly stopped at the gate of Wang's house.
The servant at the door saw the person coming, and immediately bowed to lead the horse for him, and said: "Mr. Lin, the young lady and madam are inside." The servants are used to Lin Jincheng coming every day these days.
Lin Jincheng nodded and immediately went inside.
Mrs. Wang was just feeding Wang Yushi the medicine, and now that the Luo family didn't come out for a day, she dared not let Wang Yushi go to court, otherwise, with his upright temper, the trouble would really get out of hand.
Wang Ruyan was by the side, and when the servants said that Lin Jincheng had come, Mrs. Wang only smiled: "You go, your wedding date is set for next month, so it's okay to see you."
"Yes." Wang Ruyan blushed with joy, lifted her skirt and ran out cheerfully.
When he ran to the promenade on the lake, a cold smile came from behind him: "Are you really going to marry him?"
The smile on Wang Ruyan's face slowly faded, and her footsteps also stopped slowly, without turning her head, she said: "Even if I die, I will marry him."
"Haha, it's really infatuation. I wonder if he thinks so? When the Luo family's crime of treason is confirmed, the Wang family will not be able to escape. I'll see if Lin Jincheng dares to marry you then." Wang Huiyuan leaned on the porch pillar. She leaned back and coughed again, looked at her motionless back, and continued to laugh: "The most important thing is, if he knows that you are not as innocent and cute as you appear on the surface, but vicious as a snake and scorpion, not only killing the personal maid, What do you think if you still try to kill your own brother? Will you change your face and dump you immediately?"
Wang Ruyan tightly clenched her hands hanging aside, ignored him, and just walked away with a white face. When she walked, she could feel her steps were as heavy as lead.
Soon after arriving at the front hall, Wang Ruyan wanted to shout when she saw the person standing in front of the Duobao Pavilion staring at a pot of green pine, but her throat was choked.
Lin Jincheng noticed movement behind him, so he turned his head and smiled brightly. When he noticed her eyes were red and her face was pale, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Yan'er, what's wrong? Is something wrong with Mr. Wang?"
Seeing that he cared so much about her, Wang Ruyan tightened her grip, and forced a smile, "Daddy is fine."
"Then what's wrong with you? Are you worried about the Luo family?" Lin Jincheng became more and more nervous.
Wang Ruyan shook her head, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.She didn't want to do this and made him worry and nervous, but she couldn't help asking herself over and over again, could she really be worthy of him?
Before she could open her mouth, Lin Jincheng had already hugged her in his arms: "Yan'er, I don't care what you are thinking, but no matter what, you can't think of how to leave me. Without you, I will go crazy, okay ?"
"But..." Wang Ruyan felt his slightly trembling body, choked up and whispered in his ear: "What if I tell you that I have killed someone before? Don't you mind me like this?"
"I have killed countless enemies, but have you ever disliked my bloody hands?" Lin Jinhua let go of her and said distressedly to her tearful eyes.
Wang Ruyan shook her head, how could she dislike him, no matter what he is, she only loves him.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jincheng finally laughed: "Yan'er, Jinhua and I have already regarded you as a family, so there are so many worries among family members."
"Jincheng..." Wang Ruyan's heart finally settled down. She looked at the stooped figure hiding by the door who was eavesdropping, and smiled firmly at Lin Jincheng: "I will, I will spend the rest of my life with you!" Even if Wang Huiyuan came Prevent.
When Wang Huiyuan outside the house heard their conversation, he sneered coldly in his heart.He still hasn't forgotten Lin Zisu who died tragically. Zisu once said that the third family members of Lin's family are all devils, and they were the ones who killed Zisu. Now they have tricked Ru Yan into obsession, thinking that they can really live with peace of mind?He will never allow it.
After thinking about it, he looked at the jade bottle that had suddenly appeared in his room two days ago, opened it resolutely, took the pill inside and swallowed it, and then left according to the address written on the letter paper pressed under the jade bottle.
Lin Jinhua was trapped in the palace and could not receive any news at all. After dinner, she took a break early, because she was afraid that her birthday would have to worry about it the next day.
After a night passed, she was called up when it was still dark the next day, because of the queen mother's birthday, she was going to follow and serve by her side.
The waning moon in the sky was like a hook, and a few stars could still be seen vaguely. Lin Jinhua's lazy temper that had been cultivated in this life was now being punished.
After the maids filed in to change her clothes, she was allowed to go out with heavy jewelry on her head.
Lin Jinhua didn't dare not be vigilant, and as soon as she left the door of the side hall, she walked forward cautiously.
When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the court ladies stood in an orderly manner, while the Empress Dowager sat energetically in front of the bronze mirror, glanced at her, and said lightly, "Here we are..."
"My daughter respectfully wishes the Empress Dowager a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." Lin Jinhua performed the full salute in an orderly manner.
The queen mother glanced at the nurse beside her, and the nurse immediately rewarded her with a purse containing golden beans.
Lin Jinhua helped Mo Feng's hand to stand up. Seeing that the Queen Mother no longer paid attention to her, she just backed away silently and waited on the side. She stood there for half an hour, and waited until it was light outside before the Queen Mother allowed her to go ahead. Go down for breakfast.
After the breakfast was finished, all the concubines and concubines came to the palace to wait on them, but the most favored one was Princess Xuan who was hugging the little county king.
The queen mother teased the children for a while before allowing everyone to go to the imperial garden to play for a while. The queen mother's birthday was a rare time for outsiders to come to the palace to relax, and Lin Jinhua was also let go.
She remembered Zhao Huaiyan's words and didn't intend to go out, but Princess Xuan pulled her very affectionately and said with a smile: "Princess Chunhe also come with us."
The other princes and concubines were all calm, or they didn't want to cause trouble, so they just followed behind and smiled without saying a word.
Lin Jinhua saw that the queen mother also looked like she didn't want to take care of her, so she could only agree.
Following Concubine Xuan came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, walked through the long corridor and bypassed a half-moon gate, and arrived at the Imperial Garden.
It is the season of flowers blooming, and the flowers are blooming here.
Headed by Princess Xuan, she walked forward slowly with the Xiaojun Wang in her arms, and Lin Jinzheng followed carefully on one side. After walking for a while, Princess Xuan sat down in the gazebo by the lake, and the other princes and concubines were all [-] to [-] percent The group sat aside and talked.
"The water in this lake is really clear." Princess Xuan smiled as she handed the little county king to the nurse beside her.
Lin Jinhua smiled, and walked two steps away from the lake, fearing that there would be another inferior method such as deliberately pushing people into the water.
Just as she was thinking, Princess Xuan stepped forward and pulled her by her hand, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied, are you thinking about His Royal Highness Ning?"
"The concubine was joking." Lin Jinhua silently wanted to withdraw her hand, but she held it tighter and just smiled, "Look at you, what are you doing so nervous, can I still eat you?"
"Princess misunderstood..." Lin Jinyu was already holding the silver needle secretly in her hand. Princess Xuan obviously had bad intentions this time, but she didn't just push herself down in front of everyone. What did she want to do?
While she was thinking, there was a cat meowing sound, followed by the woman's terrified scream.
Lin Jinhua hurriedly looked over, and saw that the former second concubine was so frightened that her face paled with fright, and she didn't even care about her manners. Presumably she was really scared of this cat.
She was still wondering where the cat came from here, but the princess slapped the black cat away in a panic, and the cat's sharp claws rushed straight at Lin Jinhua.
She subconsciously wanted to hide back, but Princess Xuan firmly held her back. The anger in Lin Jinhua's heart surged up, and when the cat's sharp claws rushed over, she secretly pierced the silver needle in her hand. her wrist.
Soon a court lady came to catch the cat, but Lin Jinhua felt a tingling pain on her neck, and a strong smell of blood came out immediately.
"Miss!" Mo Feng pushed away the maid who was pulling him intentionally or unintentionally, and ran over in a hurry. Seeing the bloody gash on her neck, his eyes were red: "My maidservant, call the doctor immediately."
"This is the imperial palace, please consult the empress first, and then the imperial doctor." Lin Jinhua endured the pain and took out a handkerchief to cover the wound.
Before she could speak, she heard Princess Xuan say: "Where did the wild cat come from, how dare to hurt Princess Chunhe, come and throw the cat into the water to drown." Tie it, and didn't mention at all that the cat was originally called by the second concubine.
Lin Jinhua looked at the black cat with a red string hanging around its neck, and an emerald was tied to the heel of the red string. It could be seen that it was raised by a nobleman in the palace, and said immediately: "No need, it's just a small injury, it's okay."
"The Princess has a good temper, but if His Royal Highness Prince Ning blames you, wouldn't you want to blame the Second Princess for deliberately hitting that wild cat at you?" Princess Xuan's almond eyes were full of concern, and before Lin Jinzheng could speak, she called out neatly Drown the cat in the water.
Lin Jinhua felt something was wrong, so she said coldly, "Mo Feng, get that cat up, quick!"
"Princess, don't you blame the cat, but the second concubine instead?" Princess Xuan provoked vigorously from the side.
The second concubine was timid, she was already terrified when she saw Lin Jinzheng was injured, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears when she heard Princess Xuan's words, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess Chunhe, I didn't do it on purpose..."
"You are a concubine, what are you doing with her in such a humble manner, there is no gain or loss."
Someone scoffed from behind.
The second princess's tears came out, she was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
Lin Jinhua ignored them, looked at the maid who was drowning in the cat and refused to let go, she shook off Princess Xuan's hand and took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "I'll let you catch the cat immediately!"
"This is Princess Xuan's order..." The maid didn't let go, the cat didn't seem to be struggling anymore, Lin Jinhua glanced at Mo Feng, Mo Feng understood, stepped forward and grabbed the maid, and lifted half of her with her backhand When he got up, the cat was also lifted up, but it was half-dead after choking on too much water.
Lin Jinhua was thinking about Princess Xuan's purpose for doing this, when she suddenly heard a court lady's urgent call: "Your Majesty, please slow down, the cat will be fine."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyes, and saw Xue Wenxin coming towards her, and she also looked anxious.
When she saw the cat, her eyes immediately turned red, and she carefully hugged it in her arms before she said aggrievedly, "What's wrong with this cat?"
"It turned out to be a cat raised by a nobleman, but this cat is a bit wild and scratched Princess Chunhe, who was just about to drown it." Princess Xuan turned her head and glanced at the second prince whose lips were trembling in fright. , It was useless to curse inwardly, then smiled and said: "Is that right, Sister-in-Law of the Second Emperor?"
Seeing that Princess Xuan put all the blame on Lin Jinhua, the second princess nodded quickly.
Lin Jinhua's heart was slightly cold, and she only said to Xue Wen, "This cat is drowning, please take it home first and take care of it."
"This is given to me by the emperor. Since it hurt the princess, let the princess punish me." Xue Wenxin bit his lips slightly, but it was obviously angry.
How dare Lin Jinhua punish this cat, Xue Wenxin is really favored now, and when he turns around and let the people in the palace pass the word to the emperor's ears, he can't help but think that neither he nor Huai Yan like Xue Wenxin who is similar to the late Concubine Yin, so that's why he made things difficult Yes, it will happen at that time.
"The cat is just a wild beast. After all, it has no intention of hurting people. It's just that you should think about it carefully. How could this cat appear here? Could it be that the person who took care of it was lazy? Then it must be punished." Not to mention that Princess Xuan drowned the cat on purpose, the palace is so big, and now she sees so many people, the more she doesn't say anything, the more these people will want to complain to Xue Wenxin.What other people say must be more convincing to Xue Wenxin than what he said himself.
Princess Xuan saw that Lin Jinzheng was not arguing at all, and secretly felt strange. Could it be that Lin Jinzheng is a strange woman as the prince said?
Heh, she doesn't believe in any strange women, at most women are good at knitting female red piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
After thinking about it, he glanced at the nurse who was holding the little princess on one side. The nurse understood and shook the child hard. The child was frightened and burst into tears.
Concubine Xuan was also really distressed, she hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded: "What are you doing? How did you scare the little county king?"
The wet nurse immediately knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Madam, don't blame your servants, the little county king has been allergic to the smell of medicine since he was born, and everyone in the capital knows that, there must be someone here who deliberately carried medicine on his body to harm our little county king."
Lin Jinzheng laughed when she heard this. Princess Xuan, it's no wonder that she didn't come out to jump around in her previous life. With her brain, she would have been eaten by someone if she jumped out twice.
(End of this chapter)
The Yikun palace was very quiet, only the smell of the spices that the queen had been burning was still there.
When Lin Jinhua came in, the palace servants on both sides stood with their heads down, silent as if they were wooden figures. There was no ice in the room to cool off the heat, and it was very stuffy.
Lin Jinhua walked a little further, only to see the queen leaning on the side of the beauty's couch with empty eyes. She hadn't seen her in just a few months, and the elegance and grace she had on her before seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a trace of desolation and death. She felt that being deprived of the phoenix seal and being imprisoned in Yikun Palace was equivalent to being thrown into limbo.
When she heard the voice, she said without raising her head: "Bengong said, I'm not hungry, so I don't need to bring food."
"Your Majesty." Hearing this, Lin Jinhua stepped forward and saluted.
Hearing a different voice, the queen finally raised her head, and seeing her, her eyes flickered: "Why would the emperor allow you to visit this palace? Could it be that Huaiyan has seized..."
"The lord is still outside the palace. The emperor sent his courtiers here to tell the empress that the confinement of the empress has been relieved." Lin Jinhua knew what she was going to say, and before she finished speaking, she interrupted without regard to etiquette.
The queen didn't believe it, how could the emperor relieve her restraint for no reason?
"What's going on, why did the emperor suddenly behave like this?" the queen asked her suspiciously.
"It's because the Empress Dowager's birthday is coming up soon. The Empress Dowager De concubine pleaded with the Empress Dowager for you, and the Empress Dowager and the Emperor agreed." Lin Jinhua tried to explain the matter concisely, looked at her complicated eyes, and smiled Said: "The emperor still misses the empress, otherwise how could he agree. If you don't want to change your clothes now, the empress should go and thank you."
Hearing this, the queen twitched the corners of her mouth and revealed a cool smile: "Whether the emperor is sympathetic or ruthless, I'm afraid only the dead Concubine Yin will know."
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, and glanced at Mo Feng: "You all go out and wait, I will help you change your clothes."
Mo Feng responded immediately, took the palace people to guard the door, and paid close attention to the movement around him.
After everyone had left, Lin Jinhua stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Someone is watching secretly, so please be careful, ma'am."
The queen glanced at her and said, "I never thought the emperor would send you here."
"After the death of Jiacai, the emperor mistakenly thought that the prince and you were plotting against each other, so he has been cautious all the time. It must be a temptation to let the minister's daughter come this time." Lin Jinhua finished speaking in a low voice, and then said loudly: "My lady, my minister Let the maid help you change your clothes."
The queen's palms tightened slightly: "Jiacai is dead?"
"I'll tell you later, my servant." Lin Jinhua lowered her eyes and said, the death of Jiacai was all thanks to the spices she burned all day long.
The queen also slowly pulled away from the previous loneliness, stood up, but did not ask Lin Jinzheng to serve her, and went to the inner room to change her clothes by herself.
Seeing that she still had such an attitude towards him, Lin Jinhua could only remain silent, but fortunately she had calmed down and understood these things in general, presumably nothing would happen again.
Not long after, the empress came out in a change of palace robe. The phoenix robe with bright yellow embroidered phoenix and the gold and ruby jewelry made her look noble again. But after this incident, she seemed to be more cautious and more cautious. Be timid.
After changing his clothes, he left Yikun Palace and went to Compassion Palace.
The queen walked in a small sedan chair, and didn't care about Lin Jinhua at all. Lin Jinhua had to walk behind, because she couldn't run in the palace, and she was thrown away by the queen after a while.
Only then did Mo Feng take the opportunity to say to the side: "Miss, why does the empress do not seem to appreciate your affection at all?"
"She is a high-ranking queen, and the stubbornness in her bones makes her never bow to me." Lin Jinhua was also helpless, obviously she was about to marry Huai Yan, and she was also a kind of person with the queen, but she still wanted to treat her as a stumbling block.
Mo Feng glanced at the Queen's leaving back, and said coldly, "She almost killed Miss in Puji Temple last time, but now she doesn't even have a word of thanks. It's really not worth the risk for Miss to think so much about her." .”
Lin Jinhua only sighed slightly; "Thinking about her is thinking about the prince." They are inseparable at all.
After she finished speaking, she didn't think about it any more, she speeded up and followed her, but before she reached the Compassionate Peace Palace, she saw a palace maid coming out of the corridor on one side, and stopped her to salute her, Cai said: "Princess Chunhe, Empress Defei has an invitation."
Lin Jinhua secretly winked at Mo Feng on one side, then turned to look at the maid: "I'm going to return to the Queen Mother and the Emperor first..."
"It doesn't matter, the Empress Concubine De has sent someone to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to tell you on your behalf, you go to the Palace of Yonghe first." The maid smiled, as if she was going against Concubine De if she didn't leave.
Seeing that the matter had reached this point, Lin Jinhua had no choice but to compromise, but when she turned to leave, Mo Feng intentionally took two steps behind, and hurriedly turned around and slipped away as soon as they turned the corner.
Lin Jinhua looked at the maid who was following her, and asked casually, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Jing came to the palace today?" The emperor said that Zhao Kan was coming to bid farewell, so he should be still in Yonghe Palace now?
"Yes."
"Is your empress calling me over this time because of King Jing's business?" Lin Jinhua asked again.
"This..." The maid looked at her hesitantly, and said: "I don't know, I will know when the princess goes. Don't worry, after all, it is in Yonghe Palace, and nothing will happen."
"I didn't think anything would happen. After all, the empress dowager and the emperor also knew that I had gone to the Yonghe Palace, right?" Lin Jinhua asked after listening to her.
When the maid heard the words, her eyes flickered, and she forced a smile: "Yes."
Seeing this, Lin Jinhua already understood in her heart that she was afraid that no one would go to the Compassion Palace to say anything. If she didn't go back for a long time or something happened, Concubine De could completely reason that it was because she didn't follow the rules and didn't return to the Compassion Palace in time. It was caused by Ning Gong, but Mo Feng has already arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning by now.
She was thinking as she walked, and she would arrive soon.
The maids of Yonghe Palace were all standing in the corridor, the door of the palace was half-closed, as if they deliberately did not allow people to see what was going on inside.
Lin Jinhua looked around vigilantly, thinking that if Zhao Kan went crazy again, Concubine De would not allow it, so she stepped in, but the maid from just now did not accompany her but stayed under the corridor.
She only stepped in with one foot, and before she could stand still, she felt a gust of cool wind blowing beside her. Because Zhao Kan went crazy that night, she had already made preparations, and before the figure approached, the silver needle in her hand had already drawn out. He came out, and when his arm wrapped around his waist, he stabbed hard.
Zhao Kan immediately flicked his hand away in pain, looked at the shining silver needles on his arm, and couldn't understand why it hurt so much.
"Are you going to kill me?" he asked angrily.
Seeing that it was really him, and Concubine De was sitting in the first seat as if she couldn't see him, Lin Jinzheng took two steps back and stood at the gate of the hall so that people who came in could see her, and then said coldly: "Your Highness, if you want to Belittle the courtiers, the courtiers would rather perish together."
"You don't like me that much?" Zhao Kan felt sad for no reason.
"A courtier's daughter is not a woman in the mountains who doesn't understand etiquette. If you want to come to such a noble prince, you won't understand." Lin Jinhua's tone was not pleading at all.
Zhao Kan was about to step forward, and Concubine De then put the teacup on the table heavily, and said, "Kan'er, haven't you had enough trouble yet? Chunhe Princess is going to die with you, yet you still can't let it go." Could it be that this obsession is caused by being bewitched by someone's spell?"
"Concubine Mother..." Zhao Kan wanted to say more, but Concubine De didn't want to listen any more, so she just ordered in a low voice, "Come on, Lin Jinhua dared to hurt King Jing, drag her down and slap her mouth for thirty, as a warning to others."
Lin Jinzheng's palms were slightly tight, no matter what she did today, Concubine De would have to show her anger.
Immediately, a court lady came in from outside, and Zhao Kan scolded: "Retire all, my king!"
"Kan'er, do you still want to protect her?" Concubine De didn't like Lin Jinhua more and more, and she was so fascinated by Kan'er, who had always been obedient, that she dared to challenge her now, so why don't you suppress her well today? Her arrogance, I really don't know what to do in the future!
"Didn't hear what my concubine said? Drag it on..."
"I don't see who would dare. Concubine Mu, her needles don't hurt at all, and didn't we agree to call her here to ask her something." After Zhao Kan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the concubine De before she could speak. Looking at Lin Jinhua, she took out the carefully guarded strand of hair and asked, "Did you ask someone to give it to me?"
Lin Jinhua glanced at her eyes, her eyes were light-colored: "The body and skin are affected by the parents, and the ministers and daughters dare not cut their hair in private. The prince may have misunderstood."
"How can I misunderstand, it clearly smells like you..."
"My lord!" Lin Jinhua saw that he was going too far, so she said coldly: "I am a woman who was raised in a deep boudoir, and no matter what the taste you said, I really don't believe it, just ask someone to check my daughter's hair, really It doesn't have to be so humiliating."
"I—" Seeing that she was really angry, Zhao Kan was speechless. He wanted to explain but couldn't understand. Looking at her hair hanging behind her, he raised his hand and picked it up and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
Lin Jinhua frowned slightly, took two steps back, and fell directly outside the hall. If she hadn't barely held on to the pillars outside, she might have fallen straight out.
Seeing this, Zhao Kan immediately chased him out, saying, "Jinhua, I didn't mean to..."
"Oh princess, you are actually here, it's easy to find the slaves."
A sharp voice came, and Zhao Kan looked up, and saw that Eunuch An had walked in with a smile.
Concubine De saw the person coming, she knew that the emperor probably knew about it, so she hurriedly walked out holding the maid's hand, and said with a smile: "This concubine invited Miss Lin to sit down, it really disturbed Eunuch An."
"What did you say?" Eunuch An pretended not to notice what Zhao Kan was doing, and saluted with a smile, before saying, "It was the girl next to Ms. Lin who said that she got separated from Ms. Lin. The emperor likes it now." This newly recognized niece was worried that Ms. Lin would accidentally break into the ladies' bedroom and disturb the ladies, so she sent the servants out to look for her."
"Now that I've found it, you can go first." Looking at Lin Jinhua who avoided him like a poisonous snake, Zhao Kan felt uncomfortable and said coldly.
Lin Jinhua immediately said: "It's okay for the concubine De to find a courtier's daughter. The courtier will go back to serve the Queen Mother first. After all, her birthday is approaching, and the courtier's daughter has been summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother's favor, so she dare not delay."
Concubine De looked at her, then at Eunuch An, this time it was good, one moved out of the empress dowager, and the other moved out of the emperor, even if she wanted to stay, she couldn't.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Kan said, "Where is the empress dowager right now..."
"My daughter just wants to be with the Queen Mother all the time, and please forgive King Jing and Concubine De." Lin Jinhua immediately lowered her eyes and interrupted him.
Zhao Kan wanted to say more, so he heard Concubine De say: "Okay, this concubine is no match for the Queen Mother, if you want to be filial, then go."
Zhao Kan wanted to speak, but Concubine De secretly teased her before swallowing her words.
Eunuch An kept their reactions in mind, and seeing that Zhao Kan was no longer pestering, he stepped aside and asked Lin Jinhua to go out first.
As soon as they left, Zhao Kan slammed his fist on the pillar on one side with red eyes.
Concubine De saw him like this, and she couldn't wait to see Lin Jinhua more and more, but she only glanced at him and said coldly: "Okay, the emperor ordered you to leave Beijing today, it's almost time now, you should go too. Later, if you want to go out There are hundreds of women, why are you so obsessed with her now?"
"But I can't wait anymore..." Zhao Kan thought that Lin Jinhua and Zhao Huaiyan's wedding date was almost November, but now it's June, and there are only four more months. Do it!
Concubine De hurriedly dismissed the people around her before she whispered: "What are you talking about, how can you mention it here?"
"But mother and concubine, isn't father the emperor who can't tolerate the Xiong family?"
"I know..." Concubine De's eyes dimmed, but she still hesitated, because not only was she restored to the concubine position this time, the emperor could have taken the opportunity to suppress Kan'er, but he only let him go to the southwest, which made her feel that the emperor was not a concubine. Don't value Kan'er.
She hesitated for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can discuss this matter with your uncle in the southwest, and you must listen to your uncle's words."
Zhao Kan felt a little more comforted at the thought of being able to cause trouble. He looked down at the strand of black hair in his palm and clenched it tightly before walking away.
Lin Jinhua came out of Yonghe Palace with Eunuch An, turned left and right, and came to an abandoned palace.
She was still wondering why Mo Feng was missing, so Eunuch An said with a smile: "Master, the slave is waiting for you outside, but you have to hurry up."
Just as Lin Jinhua was feeling surprised, she saw that Eunuch An had closed the palace gate from the outside, and there were footsteps behind him.
When she turned her head, she saw Zhao Huaiyan in scarlet clothes standing under the big tree in the courtyard with her hands behind her back.The leaves are green, and the breeze blows the swaying sunlight, making him look a little warmer.
"Come here." Zhao Huaiyan said softly.
Lin Jinhua took a few steps forward, but before he reached him, he took a step forward and held her in his arms.The butterflies gathering pollen flew past her eyes in summer, and Lin Jinhua only felt that this hug seemed to instantly calm down the hatred and anger that was raging in her heart just now.
"Tomorrow's birthday banquet, follow me carefully. After the birthday banquet, I will take you home." Zhao Huaiyan said softly.
When Lin Jinhua heard the phrase 'take you home', her eyes were slightly astringent, and her grievances flooded up inexplicably.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her even tighter, rubbing her little head lightly.
After a long while, Lin Jinhua let him go, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me too much. Today, the Emperor asked me to let the Queen Empress out. I always feel that the Emperor seems to be testing something."
Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand and rubbed her head, seeing her stern serious face, his heart seemed to soften, and he said: "Fortunately, it's just a test rather than a confirmation, but if you don't want to get in touch with the queen, you can Don't take her too seriously."
Lin Jinhua was surprised, did he see through his own thoughts?
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huaiyan smiled deeper: "She has always wanted to control me, but now she finds that I am more inclined to you, she will naturally be unhappy, so let her go."
Hearing what he said, Lin Jinhua heaved a sigh of relief and laughed.
Not long after, Eunuch An knocked on the door outside: "Master, it's almost time."
Hearing this, Lin Jinhua asked Zhao Huaiyan: "Eunuch An is also yours?"
"That's right." Zhao Huaiyan said, "If there is an urgent matter, you can also find him."
Lin Jinhua agreed, but knew in her heart that she would never look for Eunuch An again.If Eunuch An is really Zhao Huaiyan's person and has been arranged by the emperor's side for so many years, once the emperor notices that something is wrong, it will be a disaster for Eunuch An.
Seeing her leaving safely, Zhao Huaiyan's expression slowly sank, Zhao Kan was really too rampant.
Lin Jinhua went all the way to the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, only to see Mo Feng who was waiting anxiously. Seeing that she was not injured, Mo Feng let go of the stone in his heart and said, "Miss, the emperor is going to the imperial garden with the empress dowager. Go or stay and rest?"
"Let's go back to the room first." After speaking, he politely bowed to Mr. An before going back to the side hall.
It will be the Empress Dowager's birthday soon, and she still has to figure out how to get through tomorrow smoothly. The Concubine De is eyeing her like a tiger, and she will not let her go easily. The most important thing is that even if the Empress is released from the palace, she won't be able to help her for the time being. busy.
After resting for a while, I heard someone say that the nobleman wanted to see her.
Mo Feng just removed the complicated bun for her and combed it into a simple one. Hearing this, he asked her: "Miss, the Empress Dowager doesn't seem to like this noble lady very much, can we go see her?"
"Your heart is hard for me." Lin Jinhua said in a low voice, if you go to see her, you will offend the queen mother, if you don't go, you will offend the emperor.
After thinking about it, she still nodded, she wanted to see her eventually, why not go and see her now.
The maids in the Empress Dowager's palace were all calm and calm, and they didn't ask much when they saw her go out, they only told her not to walk around and said nothing more.
After leaving the door of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Lin Jinhua saw the person waiting at the door, his appearance was still the same, but compared to the astonishment when he first met, he seemed a little more flashy and vulgar.
Seeing her coming, Xue Wenxin seemed very happy, and immediately smiled and said, "Long time no see, it's great to have an acquaintance to talk to now."
Lin Jinhua saw that she was still the same as before, as if she didn't mind Jiacai's death at all, so she said with a smile: "I don't know that the nobleman has won the favor of the emperor in a blink of an eye. My servant will congratulate the nobleman first."
"Why are you and I being so polite, by the way..." She seemed to have thought of something, and after dismissing the maids, she whispered: "Tomorrow I have something to ask for your help."
"My lord, please tell me, if Jinhua can do it, I will definitely do it." Seeing that she was about to tell her purpose, Lin Jinhua only rolled her eyes and smiled slightly.
"It's not a big deal, but tomorrow I will perform a dance for the empress dowager. I heard that the empress dowager likes butterflies, so I want some medicine powder that can attract butterflies tomorrow. Do you have any?" she asked in distress.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinhua shook her head apologetically: "There has never been such a medicinal powder."
"That's it..." Xue Wenxin replied in disappointment, and then a court lady came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has called you to serve in the Imperial Garden."
"I'll go right away." Xue Wenxin said lightly to the maid, and then looked at Lin Jinhua with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I have to go first, the emperor has been taking care of me recently, and he won't be able to leave me for a while."
When Lin Jinhua heard this, she was a little curious whether she really had her tail on the sky, or if she told herself on purpose.But seeing her smiling all over her face, there was no abnormality at all.
Lin Jinhua bowed her knees and saluted, Xue Wenxin left with a smile.
When the people walked away, Mo Feng said in a low voice: "It seems that this noble person is not an easy one." The emperor drove her out of the palace like that before, but now he can make the nearly fifty-year-old emperor like her so much, If the heart is really pure, how could it be possible to make it to the present under the empress dowager's displeasure?
Lin Jinhua watched her holding the maid's hand slowly disappear around the corner, and said, "Then what's so special about butterflies?"
Speaking of this, Mo Feng, who was always calm, was not very happy: "The former concubine Yin has heard that her body has a strange fragrance. Every time in midsummer, when she dances together, a thin fragrance will be emitted from her body, attracting this butterfly."
"I see..." Lin Jinhua did not have any medicine that could attract butterflies, but he still had medicine to drive them away.
She turned and went back to the palace, and the person who had been staring at the cat all this time turned back to Yikun Palace.
The news that the queen was pardoned quickly spread among the people, but the people didn't welcome her to the world, but repeated the tragedy of the Puji Temple, and the people's resentment towards the queen seemed to be growing. bigger.
Inside the Zheng Mansion, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
Zheng Jiaojiao took the steps of a lady, walked slowly to the first seat with tea, and then saluted, and said in a soft voice: "My lord, please have tea."
"Miss Zheng is getting more and more beautiful." Zhao Qing glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao who had been carefully dressed, and said with a smile.
On one side, Mr. Zheng laughed loudly, and then said: "Jiaojiao is not too young now..."
"Isn't that just right, this king still lacks a concubine." Zhao Qing took Zheng Jiaojiao's tea, and his fingers brushed her hand as if unintentionally.
Zheng Jiaojiao's face was blushing, she looked at the equally handsome Prince of Yu Zhao Qing with peach blossom eyes, her heartbeat became faster and faster, she said softly, "My daughter-in-law, go down first."
"Go down and do what you want, you can listen to everything I said to your father." Zhao Qing looked at her deeply, as if he couldn't move his eyes.
Master Zheng became more and more happy when he saw this, and he said to Zheng Jiaojiao: "My lord told you to sit down, so you can sit down, don't be bound by such vain etiquette."
Zheng Jiaojiao was naturally happy, she saluted gracefully, and sat down on the side of a ladylike lady, with a gentle look, but she didn't see Zhao Qing's indifference for a moment when she looked at her.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, King Ning is still trying to find a way to rescue the Luo family, what do you think? Although I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, it is not easy to do it." Zheng Daren said humanely.
"Your Excellency doesn't need to act, King Xuan will take care of it. Now that he has given birth to the only royal grandson of the royal family, and a concubine Li who has swollen to the heights of the sky, do you think they will allow the Luo family to come out, be grateful to King Ning and become a King Ning's right-hand man." Zhao Qing smiled lightly.
"My lord, what do you mean..."
"No rush. The Luo family's biggest reliance is the Wang family. As long as someone from the Wang family is willing to testify, the Luo family will die without a place to bury them." Zhao Qing laughed.
Master Zheng still frowned: "Then you mean to completely destroy the Luo family?"
Zhao Qing shook his head instead: "The Luo family is a first-class family after all, and Mr. Luo is a person who is said to be indistinguishable by the officials. With him around, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings? When both King Xuan and King Ning are unable to recover, this king only needs to let that traitor from the Wang family be killed." Hand it over, and everything will be solved."
Mr. Zheng thought about it for a while, and couldn't help admiring: "My lord is thoughtful, I am ashamed to be an official."
"Your Majesty Zheng is polite. But since this king has been exposed, he will show up in the next few days to 'return to Beijing', and then we can make arrangements for the marriage with Miss Zheng." Zhao Qing looked deeply at Zheng Jiaojiao who was on the side. With a deep smile, Mr. Zheng also laughed loudly.
The corners of Zhao Qing's mouth curled up, his eyes were slightly cold, and he only walked outside the mansion.Zhao Huaiyan, let me see how you fight with me this time.You have Lin Jinhua as your weakness, but I don't!
A black horse quickly passed the crowd, and then hurriedly stopped at the gate of Wang's house.
The servant at the door saw the person coming, and immediately bowed to lead the horse for him, and said: "Mr. Lin, the young lady and madam are inside." The servants are used to Lin Jincheng coming every day these days.
Lin Jincheng nodded and immediately went inside.
Mrs. Wang was just feeding Wang Yushi the medicine, and now that the Luo family didn't come out for a day, she dared not let Wang Yushi go to court, otherwise, with his upright temper, the trouble would really get out of hand.
Wang Ruyan was by the side, and when the servants said that Lin Jincheng had come, Mrs. Wang only smiled: "You go, your wedding date is set for next month, so it's okay to see you."
"Yes." Wang Ruyan blushed with joy, lifted her skirt and ran out cheerfully.
When he ran to the promenade on the lake, a cold smile came from behind him: "Are you really going to marry him?"
The smile on Wang Ruyan's face slowly faded, and her footsteps also stopped slowly, without turning her head, she said: "Even if I die, I will marry him."
"Haha, it's really infatuation. I wonder if he thinks so? When the Luo family's crime of treason is confirmed, the Wang family will not be able to escape. I'll see if Lin Jincheng dares to marry you then." Wang Huiyuan leaned on the porch pillar. She leaned back and coughed again, looked at her motionless back, and continued to laugh: "The most important thing is, if he knows that you are not as innocent and cute as you appear on the surface, but vicious as a snake and scorpion, not only killing the personal maid, What do you think if you still try to kill your own brother? Will you change your face and dump you immediately?"
Wang Ruyan tightly clenched her hands hanging aside, ignored him, and just walked away with a white face. When she walked, she could feel her steps were as heavy as lead.
Soon after arriving at the front hall, Wang Ruyan wanted to shout when she saw the person standing in front of the Duobao Pavilion staring at a pot of green pine, but her throat was choked.
Lin Jincheng noticed movement behind him, so he turned his head and smiled brightly. When he noticed her eyes were red and her face was pale, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly, "Yan'er, what's wrong? Is something wrong with Mr. Wang?"
Seeing that he cared so much about her, Wang Ruyan tightened her grip, and forced a smile, "Daddy is fine."
"Then what's wrong with you? Are you worried about the Luo family?" Lin Jincheng became more and more nervous.
Wang Ruyan shook her head, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.She didn't want to do this and made him worry and nervous, but she couldn't help asking herself over and over again, could she really be worthy of him?
Before she could open her mouth, Lin Jincheng had already hugged her in his arms: "Yan'er, I don't care what you are thinking, but no matter what, you can't think of how to leave me. Without you, I will go crazy, okay ?"
"But..." Wang Ruyan felt his slightly trembling body, choked up and whispered in his ear: "What if I tell you that I have killed someone before? Don't you mind me like this?"
"I have killed countless enemies, but have you ever disliked my bloody hands?" Lin Jinhua let go of her and said distressedly to her tearful eyes.
Wang Ruyan shook her head, how could she dislike him, no matter what he is, she only loves him.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jincheng finally laughed: "Yan'er, Jinhua and I have already regarded you as a family, so there are so many worries among family members."
"Jincheng..." Wang Ruyan's heart finally settled down. She looked at the stooped figure hiding by the door who was eavesdropping, and smiled firmly at Lin Jincheng: "I will, I will spend the rest of my life with you!" Even if Wang Huiyuan came Prevent.
When Wang Huiyuan outside the house heard their conversation, he sneered coldly in his heart.He still hasn't forgotten Lin Zisu who died tragically. Zisu once said that the third family members of Lin's family are all devils, and they were the ones who killed Zisu. Now they have tricked Ru Yan into obsession, thinking that they can really live with peace of mind?He will never allow it.
After thinking about it, he looked at the jade bottle that had suddenly appeared in his room two days ago, opened it resolutely, took the pill inside and swallowed it, and then left according to the address written on the letter paper pressed under the jade bottle.
Lin Jinhua was trapped in the palace and could not receive any news at all. After dinner, she took a break early, because she was afraid that her birthday would have to worry about it the next day.
After a night passed, she was called up when it was still dark the next day, because of the queen mother's birthday, she was going to follow and serve by her side.
The waning moon in the sky was like a hook, and a few stars could still be seen vaguely. Lin Jinhua's lazy temper that had been cultivated in this life was now being punished.
After the maids filed in to change her clothes, she was allowed to go out with heavy jewelry on her head.
Lin Jinhua didn't dare not be vigilant, and as soon as she left the door of the side hall, she walked forward cautiously.
When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the court ladies stood in an orderly manner, while the Empress Dowager sat energetically in front of the bronze mirror, glanced at her, and said lightly, "Here we are..."
"My daughter respectfully wishes the Empress Dowager a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan." Lin Jinhua performed the full salute in an orderly manner.
The queen mother glanced at the nurse beside her, and the nurse immediately rewarded her with a purse containing golden beans.
Lin Jinhua helped Mo Feng's hand to stand up. Seeing that the Queen Mother no longer paid attention to her, she just backed away silently and waited on the side. She stood there for half an hour, and waited until it was light outside before the Queen Mother allowed her to go ahead. Go down for breakfast.
After the breakfast was finished, all the concubines and concubines came to the palace to wait on them, but the most favored one was Princess Xuan who was hugging the little county king.
The queen mother teased the children for a while before allowing everyone to go to the imperial garden to play for a while. The queen mother's birthday was a rare time for outsiders to come to the palace to relax, and Lin Jinhua was also let go.
She remembered Zhao Huaiyan's words and didn't intend to go out, but Princess Xuan pulled her very affectionately and said with a smile: "Princess Chunhe also come with us."
The other princes and concubines were all calm, or they didn't want to cause trouble, so they just followed behind and smiled without saying a word.
Lin Jinhua saw that the queen mother also looked like she didn't want to take care of her, so she could only agree.
Following Concubine Xuan came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, walked through the long corridor and bypassed a half-moon gate, and arrived at the Imperial Garden.
It is the season of flowers blooming, and the flowers are blooming here.
Headed by Princess Xuan, she walked forward slowly with the Xiaojun Wang in her arms, and Lin Jinzheng followed carefully on one side. After walking for a while, Princess Xuan sat down in the gazebo by the lake, and the other princes and concubines were all [-] to [-] percent The group sat aside and talked.
"The water in this lake is really clear." Princess Xuan smiled as she handed the little county king to the nurse beside her.
Lin Jinhua smiled, and walked two steps away from the lake, fearing that there would be another inferior method such as deliberately pushing people into the water.
Just as she was thinking, Princess Xuan stepped forward and pulled her by her hand, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about so preoccupied, are you thinking about His Royal Highness Ning?"
"The concubine was joking." Lin Jinhua silently wanted to withdraw her hand, but she held it tighter and just smiled, "Look at you, what are you doing so nervous, can I still eat you?"
"Princess misunderstood..." Lin Jinyu was already holding the silver needle secretly in her hand. Princess Xuan obviously had bad intentions this time, but she didn't just push herself down in front of everyone. What did she want to do?
While she was thinking, there was a cat meowing sound, followed by the woman's terrified scream.
Lin Jinhua hurriedly looked over, and saw that the former second concubine was so frightened that her face paled with fright, and she didn't even care about her manners. Presumably she was really scared of this cat.
She was still wondering where the cat came from here, but the princess slapped the black cat away in a panic, and the cat's sharp claws rushed straight at Lin Jinhua.
She subconsciously wanted to hide back, but Princess Xuan firmly held her back. The anger in Lin Jinhua's heart surged up, and when the cat's sharp claws rushed over, she secretly pierced the silver needle in her hand. her wrist.
Soon a court lady came to catch the cat, but Lin Jinhua felt a tingling pain on her neck, and a strong smell of blood came out immediately.
"Miss!" Mo Feng pushed away the maid who was pulling him intentionally or unintentionally, and ran over in a hurry. Seeing the bloody gash on her neck, his eyes were red: "My maidservant, call the doctor immediately."
"This is the imperial palace, please consult the empress first, and then the imperial doctor." Lin Jinhua endured the pain and took out a handkerchief to cover the wound.
Before she could speak, she heard Princess Xuan say: "Where did the wild cat come from, how dare to hurt Princess Chunhe, come and throw the cat into the water to drown." Tie it, and didn't mention at all that the cat was originally called by the second concubine.
Lin Jinhua looked at the black cat with a red string hanging around its neck, and an emerald was tied to the heel of the red string. It could be seen that it was raised by a nobleman in the palace, and said immediately: "No need, it's just a small injury, it's okay."
"The Princess has a good temper, but if His Royal Highness Prince Ning blames you, wouldn't you want to blame the Second Princess for deliberately hitting that wild cat at you?" Princess Xuan's almond eyes were full of concern, and before Lin Jinzheng could speak, she called out neatly Drown the cat in the water.
Lin Jinhua felt something was wrong, so she said coldly, "Mo Feng, get that cat up, quick!"
"Princess, don't you blame the cat, but the second concubine instead?" Princess Xuan provoked vigorously from the side.
The second concubine was timid, she was already terrified when she saw Lin Jinzheng was injured, and she was so frightened that she burst into tears when she heard Princess Xuan's words, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess Chunhe, I didn't do it on purpose..."
"You are a concubine, what are you doing with her in such a humble manner, there is no gain or loss."
Someone scoffed from behind.
The second princess's tears came out, she was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
Lin Jinhua ignored them, looked at the maid who was drowning in the cat and refused to let go, she shook off Princess Xuan's hand and took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "I'll let you catch the cat immediately!"
"This is Princess Xuan's order..." The maid didn't let go, the cat didn't seem to be struggling anymore, Lin Jinhua glanced at Mo Feng, Mo Feng understood, stepped forward and grabbed the maid, and lifted half of her with her backhand When he got up, the cat was also lifted up, but it was half-dead after choking on too much water.
Lin Jinhua was thinking about Princess Xuan's purpose for doing this, when she suddenly heard a court lady's urgent call: "Your Majesty, please slow down, the cat will be fine."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyes, and saw Xue Wenxin coming towards her, and she also looked anxious.
When she saw the cat, her eyes immediately turned red, and she carefully hugged it in her arms before she said aggrievedly, "What's wrong with this cat?"
"It turned out to be a cat raised by a nobleman, but this cat is a bit wild and scratched Princess Chunhe, who was just about to drown it." Princess Xuan turned her head and glanced at the second prince whose lips were trembling in fright. , It was useless to curse inwardly, then smiled and said: "Is that right, Sister-in-Law of the Second Emperor?"
Seeing that Princess Xuan put all the blame on Lin Jinhua, the second princess nodded quickly.
Lin Jinhua's heart was slightly cold, and she only said to Xue Wen, "This cat is drowning, please take it home first and take care of it."
"This is given to me by the emperor. Since it hurt the princess, let the princess punish me." Xue Wenxin bit his lips slightly, but it was obviously angry.
How dare Lin Jinhua punish this cat, Xue Wenxin is really favored now, and when he turns around and let the people in the palace pass the word to the emperor's ears, he can't help but think that neither he nor Huai Yan like Xue Wenxin who is similar to the late Concubine Yin, so that's why he made things difficult Yes, it will happen at that time.
"The cat is just a wild beast. After all, it has no intention of hurting people. It's just that you should think about it carefully. How could this cat appear here? Could it be that the person who took care of it was lazy? Then it must be punished." Not to mention that Princess Xuan drowned the cat on purpose, the palace is so big, and now she sees so many people, the more she doesn't say anything, the more these people will want to complain to Xue Wenxin.What other people say must be more convincing to Xue Wenxin than what he said himself.
Princess Xuan saw that Lin Jinzheng was not arguing at all, and secretly felt strange. Could it be that Lin Jinzheng is a strange woman as the prince said?
Heh, she doesn't believe in any strange women, at most women are good at knitting female red piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
After thinking about it, he glanced at the nurse who was holding the little princess on one side. The nurse understood and shook the child hard. The child was frightened and burst into tears.
Concubine Xuan was also really distressed, she hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded: "What are you doing? How did you scare the little county king?"
The wet nurse immediately knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Madam, don't blame your servants, the little county king has been allergic to the smell of medicine since he was born, and everyone in the capital knows that, there must be someone here who deliberately carried medicine on his body to harm our little county king."
Lin Jinzheng laughed when she heard this. Princess Xuan, it's no wonder that she didn't come out to jump around in her previous life. With her brain, she would have been eaten by someone if she jumped out twice.
