Queen's Development

Chapter 113 Fighting Back
The wind was whistling outside, and the glazed hydrangea lantern hanging on the porch was shaking in the wind, making a crisp sound.

Yuzhi stood outside the green gauze curtain hanging on the bedroom door, quietly listening to the conversation between Lin Jia and Dr. Liu in the bedroom.

She knew that Lin Jia's life was difficult and embarrassing, and all his enemies stretched out a finger to press him, and he could fall to the ground in embarrassment.

However, the more this is the case, the more she cannot be decadent, the more unhappy others are, the more she and Lin Jia must live happily!
After Dr. Liu left, Lin Jia soaked in the bathtub full of medicinal soup, Yuzhi moved the Zhang Jin stool and sat on the side, holding a white silk handkerchief in one hand, and a small bisque teapot in the other. Pa wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then raised the small teapot to feed Lin Jia a drink.

Lin Jiaxiuzhi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her eyes were closed tightly, and she tried her best to resist the pain in her body.

Seeing a few drops of sweat slipping down from Lin Jia's forehead, Yu Zhi quickly leaned over and wiped it with a handkerchief, then stared at Lin Jia's beautiful and delicate face, and said softly: "I heard what you and Dr. Liu said."

Hearing this, Lin Jia opened her eyes and stared at Yuzhi in a daze. Under the cover of long wet eyelashes, her phoenix eyes were like stars in the dark night.

Yuzhi's heart ached, she stretched out her hand to brush back Lin Jia's damp hair, stared at Lin Jia, and said in a low voice, "Why are they all so bad?"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The reason why they hurt me is because I blocked their way to climb up; the best way for us to get revenge is to go up step by step and become stronger day by day. Trample them all underfoot!"

Yuzhi hummed, stood up and pressed her forehead against Lin Jia's wet forehead: "No matter how difficult it will be in the future, I will follow you, take care of you, and be with you..."

Lin Jia's heart seemed to be immersed in warm spring water, light and warm, very comfortable...

He gave a soft "huh".

Just as Yuzhi served Lin Jia and came out in underwear, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and at the same time, the voice of Eunuch Ding: "What's the matter? You just came to Beijing for a few days, and you fell ill." ? What's the matter?"

Then came Li Rui's voice: "Leader Qi, the young master went out today. On the way, he met Lin Lun, the seventh young master of Ding'an County King. Lin Lun invited the young master to drink with Zui Taibai, and the young master became like this."

Lin Jia lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up - Li Rui is Eunuch Ding's confidant, Eunuch Ding will know everything that happened here, and Eunuch Ding is also a confidant of Emperor Yongtai...

Besides Li Rui, he also had Ye Chunshan by his side, who was also the confidant of Emperor Yongtai.

He still has a few good cards in his hand, and he must make full use of them for today's matter.

Yuzhi looked at Yuzhi, and said softly: "You help me to meet Eunuch Ding!"

Yuzhi took a sapphire blue satin black fox robe and wrapped it around Lin Jia's body, and then helped Lin Jia out.

When Eunuch Ding saw Lin Jia, he was startled.

I saw Lin Jia a few days ago, Lin Jia looked pretty good, and she was a handsome young man like jade, who would have thought that she would be like this today!

He stepped forward to help Lin Jia sit down on the Arhat bed, and stood there sighing and looking at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia's long black hair drooped slightly wet, her face was pale, her brows were more and more prominent, her lips were red, her face was sickly, and her already thin body was wrapped in a royal blue black fox robe, which made her look even weaker. .

Eunuch Ding sighed, and said, "My lord, you have a noble status, what are you doing with those kittens and puppies that came out of nowhere?"

He added: "Your Majesty knew about your illness, so he immediately ordered our family to bring along the imperial physician Zhao Wenyu, who often checks His Majesty's pulse!"

Lin Jia didn't speak, but the black phoenix eyes were shining brightly under the light of the nearby chandelier, clearly covered with tears.

Eunuch Ding also felt a little uncomfortable, sighed and told Li Rui: "Please come in and have a look at Mr. Zhao Wenyu!"

Li Rui answered "Yes" and stepped back.

Zhao Wenyu is a very thin middle-aged man, he seems a little silent.

After looking, hearing and questioning, he immediately said: "My lord has been poisoned by a kind of poison called Zuitong, but he has been treated in time, and the situation is not bad."

Only then did Eunuch Ding heave a sigh of relief, and said in a singing tone: "Young master, our family can go and explain to His Majesty now!"

Zhao Wenyu looked at Lin Jia: "I don't know where the doctor who treats the son is, I want to meet and discuss!"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, and told Li Rui in a hoarse voice, "Li Rui, you can accompany Imperial Physician Zhao to see Mr. Liu!"

After Imperial Physician Zhao went out with Li Rui, Eunuch Ding ordered: "You all step back, our family has something to say to Young Master!"

Everyone filed out.

Lin Jia gently stopped Yuzhi: "Yuzhi stay here."

Yuzhi glanced at Eunuch Ding, and found that Eunuch Ding was looking at her with scrutiny, so she bowed her knees and continued to stand beside Lin Jia.

Eunuch Ding coughed lightly, and then said: "My lord, on the first day of the new year, His Majesty is going to hold a grand court meeting in the Daqing Palace, and His Majesty has told us that we will welcome you into the palace on New Year's Eve!"

Lin Jia was really uncomfortable, and said with one hand: "I know. I will take good care of myself."

Eunuch Ding raised his eyes to look at Lin Jia, and saw that he seemed to be unable to support himself, sitting on the small huanghuali wood kang table, with a sad expression, like a lonely and pitiful child.

Thinking of the past, Eunuch Ding couldn't help feeling sour in his nose, tears were about to flow out.

He took out an extremely exquisite red sandalwood box from his sleeve: "My lord, His Majesty was worried that you would not have enough allowances, so he specially ordered our family to bring it here..."

Yuzhi took the box and handed it to Lin Jia.

Lin Jia opened the message and found that there was a roll of bank notes inside. She couldn't help being stunned, and looked up at Eunuch Ding.

Eunuch Ding's eyes were a little moist, and he said in a shy voice: "Master, these banknotes are issued by Sheng Fuxiang under His Majesty's name, and they can be exchanged at Sheng Fuxiang in various places at any time!"

Lin Jia's eyes were red, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Eunuch Ding, please thank Your Majesty for me!"

After Eunuch Ding left, Lin Jia handed the red sandalwood box to Yu Zhi: "You keep it!"

Yuzhi looked at Lin Jia in surprise: "This is too much, I don't need so much!"

Lin Jia smiled: "I asked you to manage the account for me, who asked you to spend it!"

Yu Zhi glanced at him resentfully, counted the bank notes in front of Lin Jia, and said, "A total of 6 taels!"

Lin Jia let out a "huh".

Yuzhi got up and went to the bedroom, put all the banknotes in the red sandalwood box into her cash box, then went to the inner study to get some sheets of Xuelang paper, cut them out, sewed them into a booklet with a big needle, and then lay on her bed On the kang table, accounts were started.

Lin Jia was lying on the Arhat bed leaning on the pillow, her body was covered with a brocade quilt by Yuzhi.Seeing Yu Zhi busy, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Holding the Zihao pen in her hand, Yuzhi raised her eyes to look at him, and said confidently: "I keep accounts! Since I keep accounts, I will keep records of my entry and exit, so that when I reconcile accounts in the future, everything will be clear!"

Lin Jia couldn't help smiling, and said, "Since that's the case, there are still about 4 taels of silver bills in the top drawer on the right side of the desk in the inner study, you can put them away!"

After Yuzhi collected all the bank notes, she brought the cash box over for Lin Jia to see: "Look, it's a total of 10 taels! You're probably the most wealthy man in the Zhou Dynasty!"

Lin Jia closed her eyes and said, "My mother's dowry back then was 10 taels of silver."

Yuzhi: "..." Boom, I hate the rich so much, what should I do?
Lin Jia looked up at Yu Zhi: "After my mother passed away, she was taken away by the old concubine and Princess Li."

Yuzhi: "..."

10 taels of silver, these two women are really bad!
A burst of pain struck, Lin Jia closed her eyes, bit her lips tightly with her snow-white teeth, tried her best to resist, and waited for the pain to pass.

This is something he has often had to live with since his mother died.

Sometimes when thinking of her mother, Lin Jia would also hate: why are you so vulnerable?Why did you leave by yourself and leave me in this world?
Because of this, he vowed to take good care of his wife and children and never abandon them!

At this time, Lin Lun was not asleep either, and was studying in the study of the East Guest House of the Han Mansion.

The Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that the county king could not leave the fief, so this time he went to Beijing with his biological mother, side concubine Han, accompanying him.

The mother and son live in the house of Han Qing, the younger brother of Concubine Han, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Concubine Han came in with her maid, Yingchun.

She was born extremely beautiful, with cloudy hair and misty temples, and a slim figure, she is a first-class beauty.

Seeing his mother coming in, Lin Lun got up and saluted: "Mother!"

Concubine Han's beautiful eyes immediately filled with smiles when she heard her son call her mother: "It's good to leave the county palace, Alan, you can call me mother too!"

In Ding'an Palace, Lin Lun could only call the princess "mother".

She took the celadon bowl from the tray in the maid's hand, and walked over with a smile: "Ah Lun, take a rest, this is the ginseng chicken soup that mother ordered someone to cook for you!"

While Lin Lun was drinking the chicken soup, Concubine Han asked the servant girl to step back, and asked Lin Lun in a low voice, "Will Lin Jia use the medicine that the queen rewarded you today?"

Lin Lun looked up at Concubine Han, Taohua's eyes were full of pride: "Of course I used it, the symptoms are the same as the wind and cold, Lin Jia had a fever and was carried back by Ye Chunshan!"

Concubine Han was taken aback: "Ye Chunshan has gone too?"

Seeing his mother's face turned pale, Lin Lun immediately asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Concubine Han's face was pale, and she forced a smile and said, "No...it's nothing, you can drink ginseng chicken soup!"

After leaving Lin Lun's study, Concubine Han stood in a daze on the porch, looking at the red plums swaying in the cold wind outside the porch, with cold sweat on her hands.

The servant girl Yingchun said in a low voice: "Side concubine, the night wind is strong, let's go back!"

Concubine Han shivered, her lips trembling slightly: "I'm going to see my brother!"

She ignored the steps and walked forward.

Yingchun hurriedly gathered up the thin beanie on her body, and also chased after her.

Han Qing was already asleep, and was called up by the servant girl, and came out to see Concubine Han half asleep after waking up.

He was wearing a navy blue brocade robe, revealing the snow-white trousers that he was wearing underneath, even so, because he was tall and handsome, and he was still extremely handsome in Yushu Linfeng.

Concubine Han grabbed her younger brother, and hurriedly told about Lin Lun poisoning Lin Jia with the drunken tree today, and then said: "Ah Qing, Ah Lun told me just now that Lin Jia was lying on the table after being poisoned. Ye Chunshan suddenly rushed in with someone and took Lin Jia away!"

Hearing this, Han Qing lowered his eyes and said, "I'll go see the queen tomorrow morning."

Concubine Han begged her younger brother: "Ye Chunshan is His Majesty's confidant, and he is also in charge of the hidden guards. He will definitely tell His Majesty what happened today. You must talk to the Queen carefully, so that A-Lun won't be plotted against by Lin Jia! "

Han Qing said "hmm", and his peach blossom eyes were deep: "Sister, don't let A Lun do it rashly again, we either don't move, or Lin Jia will be killed if we move, why bother?"

Concubine Han didn't dare to say that today's matter was her own idea, she smiled and told her younger brother: "Remember to serve the queen well, this is the great backer of our Han family!"

Han Qing responded blankly and sent his sister out.

Before dawn the next day, the north wind that had been whistling all night finally stopped, but dense and fine snowflakes fell again in the dark sky.

When Yuzhi got up, the snowflakes had become very large, like pear blossom petals, and the snowflakes fluttered down one after another. The roof, flowers, trees, flower ponds and the ground outside were all covered with a layer of white snow.

It was very cold outside, but the room was warm because of the earth dragon. Yuzhi was afraid that it would be too dry, so she specially put a basin of water in the bedroom.

She served Lin Jia to drink the medicine, and watched him have breakfast.

As Lin Jia's teacher, although Han Li is busy with work, he still comes to visit Lin Jia's illness in the snow.

Seeing that although Lin Jia was pale, she could talk and walk, Han Li unceremoniously assigned her homework and said that she would come for an examination tomorrow.

Sending Han Li back, Yuzhi looked at Lin Jia with a smile and said, "My son, let's study!"

Lin Jia glanced at Yu Zhi: "Mr. Liu asked me to make medicine soup in the morning, you can sit on the side and read to me!"

Yuzhi likes reading the most, so she immediately agreed: "Isn't it "Shangshu"? Don't worry, if there are any words you don't know, I will ask you again!"

Lin Jia smiled: "You really like reading!"

Yuzhi smiled and said: "I heard that Li Rui is very good at painting, I'm going to find a chance to see Li Rui's paintings!"

While massaging Lin Jia's shoulders, she said: "If it's really good, I will worship him as my teacher and ask him to teach me!"

Li Rui's handsome face appeared in Lin Jia's mind, and his heart was sour, but he didn't say a word.

At this moment, Li Rui came in to report: "My lord, the empress has sent Master Han Qinghan, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, to visit you!"
