Queen's Development

Chapter 198 lack of heart
On the second day, Lin Jia's fever subsided, and the wound began to heal.

Yuzhi was in a happy mood, first opened the window of the bedroom to let the sunlight in, and then helped Lin Jia up.

She lifted up Lin Jia's coat and looked at it, she was sure it was all right, then she smiled and said: "Get well soon, a lot of things have happened recently, the generals and lieutenants under your command have come to see you in groups, I will let Alan send a message , Tell them to come back today!"

While Yuzhi was talking, she took a light and warm white satin robe with silver pattern and put it on Lin Jia.

Lin Jia enjoyed the service, and asked in a low voice: "Did you receive any gifts that you shouldn't have received?"

Yuzhi smiled: "I know, if they give snacks and fruits, I'll ask someone to take it and prepare a gift in return; if the gift is expensive, I'll just return it!"

Lin Jia nodded and smiled: "I know you understand this truth, it's just a question for nothing!"

Yuzhi walked up to Lin Jia to tidy up his clothes, and suddenly raised her head and said, "Ajia, the Guizhen believers who assassinated you have been interrogated, and the leader is called Bai Qimu! I'm going to let Ye Chunshan be beheaded in public in the name of the Forbidden Army, you see How about it?"

Lin Jia knew that during the past few days of his illness, Yuzhi was in charge of the internal and external affairs of the mansion, and she managed them very well.

He looked at Yu Zhi, with a smile in his eyes: "Yu Zhi, you are doing well!"

Seeing Yu Zhi's big bright eyes still looking at her, waiting to hear her opinion, Lin Jia smiled and said: "Beheading in public is right, but it's not enough alone, we need to inform all states and counties to make others aware of it." As for the other Guizhen believers, they were forced to eat meat, and those who were willing to eat meat were scattered to gold mines in various places; as for the Guizhen believers who refused to eat meat, they were all killed. When these people converted to Guizhen, they had The lives of the Han people will not be wronged!"

The lives of thousands of people, in Lin Jia's opinion, were nothing more than "killing them all".

Hearing Lin Jia's decision, Yuzhi immediately felt that she had a strong backbone, and she let out a sigh of relief, before she said: "Ajia, it is recorded in the "Historical Mirror" that it is stated in the teachings of the Guizhen Sect that if the Guizhen Sect members are forced by external forces, You can pretend not to believe in religion, and you can atone for your sin by killing a non-religious Han in the future..."

Lin Jia sighed and said, "So Guizhen Sect is a cult..."

Thinking of the evil teachings of the Guizhen Sect, Yuzhi felt a little worried, she was silent for a moment, and then said: "Ajia, we should gather capable people to discuss how to deal with the Guizhen Sect!"

Lin Jia nodded and said, "I have already handed over this matter to Yang Xin, and he is working on it."

Only then did Yuzhi feel relieved, and suddenly reached out to hold Lin Jia's hand, and said with a smile, "Ajia, there is one thing I haven't told you yet..."

Seeing Yu Zhi's cute smile, Lin Jia couldn't help laughing too: "Tell me, as long as you don't break the sky, I'll make the decision for you!"

Yuzhi raised her eyes to look at Lin Jia's clear and beautiful phoenix eyes, her heart felt warm, and she said with a smile, "Ajia, I didn't tell you, but I asked Li Rui to send a master of Yuyiwei to follow Han Qing westward on a fast horse went!"

When Lin Jia heard this, Feng's eyes were full of surprise: "Yuzhi, you did the right thing!"

Yu Zhi was praised by Lin Jia, she was happy in her heart, and said triumphantly: "I also specifically told Li Rui to choose a few sharp shooters. If Han Qing is found, no matter what the three sevens are, shoot the poisonous arrows first!"

Seeing that Yuzhi was vicious towards Han Qing, Lin Jia became more and more happy, and stretched out her arms to hug Yuzhi tightly.

Yuzhi sniffed the cool mint breath mixed with the medicine smell on Lin Jia's body, and said in a low voice, "Ajia, I will protect you!"

Lin Jia had mixed feelings in an instant, only feeling a tingling in the heart, a little tingling, but more comfort.

He hugged Yuzhi tightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "Yuzhi, then I will hand myself over to you!"

Yuzhi laughed out loud.

When Lin Jia sat down in the Ming Room, Yuzhi served him first, drank the medicine and rinsed his mouth, and then said: "Mrs. Jiang came to see you last night. Before leaving, I left behind Mother Shen who used to nurse the princess!"

Lin Jia said expressionlessly, "Where is Mother Shen now?"

Yu Zhi took a look at Lin Jia and felt that Lin Jia was really pretty. Just looking at Lin Jia made her feel happy.

While gesturing to Jin'er and the others to prepare the meal, she said: "I had someone clean up the Peach Blossom Garden separated from the East Guest House, let Shen's mother live in it, and assigned a little maid, Yinhuan, to serve her!"

Lin Jia nodded and stopped mentioning this matter.

After breakfast, Lin Jia went to meet people in the outer study.

Now that he is ill, those cronies are very worried, and he has to see them first.

Yuzhi was really tired these days, so she didn't go out with Lin Jia, but leaned on the pillow and leaned on the brocade couch, listening to Han Lin's reply.

Han Lin held a stack of greeting cards in his hand, and looked at the reports one by one: "Aunt Qi, I received a total of 32 greeting cards yesterday and today, namely Mrs. General Wen, Mrs. Sun Xiaowei, Mrs. General Zhang, Mrs. Su The captain’s older sister——Su Xiaowei’s wife passed away, and she never remarried, and now there is a widowed elder sister who is in charge!”

Yuzhi closed her eyes and listened, "Mmm" and said, "Go on!"

Han Lin continued to report back.

At this moment, there was a burst of talking outside, the voices of Ai Mei and Ye Ling.

Ai Mei timidly said: "Sister Ye Ling, is Auntie here?"

Ye Ling's voice was clear and clear, with a hint of disdain: "What are you looking for, Auntie?"

Aimei laughed and said, "I... I have a little thing..."

When Yuzhi heard this, she ordered Ye Bi who was standing beside her, "Bring Aimei in!"

She was still lying there, and the bowl of tea that Aimei brought her in Mama Jin's boat appeared in her mind.

Yuzhi clearly remembered the situation at that time. She and Zhu Lingling were talking in the cabin. She was suffering from thirst, when a girl with big eyes and sweet face came in and asked, "Are you really awake? Do you want a drink?" Some water? I just helped Mom Jin boil the water, and it's still hot!"

She is sweet and has a sweet voice.

It was Yu Aimei.

Yuzhi is forever grateful to Yu Aimei, but she and Yu Aimei cannot go back to the past, as long as Yu Aimei still covets Lin Jia.

She can share everything with anyone, except Lin Jia!
Ye Bi walked over, lifted the brocade curtain embroidered with purple magnolias on the door, and said with a smile, "Come in, Aimei!"

Aimei looked at Ye Bi in surprise and joy, and said in a low voice, "Thank you sister Ye Bi!"

Ye Bi took a look at Ai Mei and said with a smile, "Just call me Ye Bi!"

Aimei answered "yes", and then entered the Ming room.

Although there is sunshine today, one has been raining for several days and finally cleared up, and the other is that it is already the sixth day of October and it is still very cold outside.

Aimei was wearing a thin jacket and long skirt, and as soon as she entered the open room, she felt a warm fragrance rushing towards her face, which was very nice.

She raised her eyes and looked over, and saw that Han Lin was helping Yuzhi to get up. Yuzhi was only loosely tied into a homely bun with a peach heart on it, and a jade hairpin was inserted on it. Ying Ying's lips were bright red, she was wearing a light green brocade robe embroidered with pear flowers, and a plain white long skirt, showing a lazy beauty everywhere.

Yu Zhi looked at Ai Mei, seeing Ai Mei stop saluting, she smiled slightly and said, "Ai Mei, what do you want to do with me?"

Standing there, Aimei thought that Yuzhi was the same person as her before, but now Yuzhi is a master, and she is a servant, and even the maids around Yuzhi have to curry favor...

The circles of her eyes turned red immediately, and the tears in her big eyes were filled with tears, which made me feel sorry for her.

Yuzhi has always given preferential treatment to good-looking people, both men and women. Seeing this, she hurriedly said softly: "If you have something to say, talk it out, why are you crying!"

Aimei wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then said: "I just remembered the past, when my aunt and I..."

Hearing her mention of the past, Yuzhi's heart also softened, she stared at Aimei and said softly: "I remember you are two years older than me, you are already 20 years old this year, and in two years you will be released as a servant ... How about this, if you have someone you like, as long as you are willing, I will not only make the decision for you, but also prepare some dowry to put your body on the line, and marry you off in a glorious manner!"

Aimei was a little moved when she heard this, but she raised her eyes to look at Yuzhi, and saw that on Yuzhi's hair bun was casually inserted a green jadeite hairpin, on her ears were a pair of silver inlaid jadeite beads, on her neck Jade bead strings are hung, and jade bracelets are worn on the snow-white wrists - these jade jewelry alone are probably worth a three-entry mansion in the capital, but to Yuzhi, they are just worn casually.

Aimei observed for a long time, and found that Yuzhi likes red gold inlaid ruby ​​head, silver inlaid diamond head and silver inlaid emerald head, she seems to have many sets of such head.

Obviously they are from the same background, why is Yuzhi able to spend as much money as she can, and enjoy the most powerful and handsome man in the world, but she wants to marry an ordinary person who has no money or power?

Thinking of this, Aimei's tears fell like broken beads again, and she knelt down on the ground covered with deep purple carpet with a "plop": "Auntie, I don't want to marry so early, I want you to be by my side Waiting on you, I can do everything, you know, I can make tea, comb my hair, make up..."

Yu Zhi stared at Ai Mei who was still beautiful despite her tears, and immediately said: "Since that's the case—"

When Aimei heard that there was something interesting, her heart pounded, she straightened up and looked at Yuzhi with misty eyes.

Yuzhi looked at Aimei's bright eyes with hope, and slowly said: "Now only Mother Shen lives in Taohuayuan, you can move to Taohuayuan too, and you will be the maid in charge of Taohuayuan from now on!"

Hearing this, Ai Mei was stunned: Living in Tingsongyuan, at least she could see Lin Jia; if she went to Taohuayuan, wouldn't she be sent to the frontier?

Yuzhi took a look at Aimei, and said calmly: "Being a maidservant in Taohuayuan, what you get is the monthly bill of stewardship, ten taels of silver a month."

Aimei thought about it, and felt that if she moved out of Tingsongyuan, it would be easier to get close to Lin Jia, so she answered "Yes", and then kowtowed: "Thank you, Auntie!"

Sooner or later, I will be like you, sitting in a beautiful house, wearing precious jewelry, condescending to order my servants, and trample you on the soles of my feet!
Yuzhi felt a little tired, and told Ye Bi: "Take someone to help her move!"

Ye Bi answered "yes" and left with Ai Mei.

Yu Zhi told Han Lin: "Those who sent invitations, please explain to them, let them come back tomorrow, I'm a bit busy today!"

After Han Lin left, Yuzhi helped Ye Ling into the bedroom, sat in front of the dressing table and took off the hairpin ring, preparing to lie down for a while.

Ye Ling nimbly removed the jadeite hairpin, and said with a smile, "Auntie, Aimei has moved out, can I live in her room? I don't want to be in the same room with Ye Bi!"

Yuzhi liked Ye Ling's liveliness and cuteness very much, so she immediately smiled and said, "Of course!"

Ye Ling narrowed his eyes and laughed.

Looking at Ye Ling's happy smile in the mirror, Yuzhi liked it very much.

She likes a girl like Ye Ling who is easy to satisfy, as long as Ye Ling takes good care of her, she will make proper arrangements for Ye Ling in the future.

If Aimei was not so greedy, she would really be willing to make decisions for Aimei and let Aimei live comfortably.

However, Ai Mei obviously has a bigger heart!

After removing the hairpin ring, Yuzhi took off her dress under Ye Ling's service, and fell asleep on the bed wearing only her middle clothes.

During Lin Jia's illness, she was really exhausted physically and mentally. She really had to take a good rest and pick up A Yin after the rest. She really missed A Yin!
Yuzhi fell asleep almost the moment she closed her eyes.

Ye Ling put down the brocade tent lightly, and then retreated.

I don't know how long it took, Yuzhi was sleeping soundly, when she was suddenly woken up - someone was talking loudly outside!

She lay there with her eyes open, listening to the conversation outside.

It was a strange female voice speaking, speaking very fast and clearly, each word popped out like popping beans: "...It is almost noon now, and the adults are coming back for lunch soon, why is my aunt still talking?" Sleeping? Didn't even think about getting up to greet the adults? Besides, the aunt is a concubine, can the concubine live in the master's bedroom?"

Then there was Ye Ling's crisp and pleasant voice: "Where did mother come from? Why don't I remember that we have a housekeeper in our house?"

The strange female voice said angrily: "I am the nanny of the first princess, what are you, dare to take care of me? Tell your aunt to come out, the old lady asked me to help the adults manage the housework!"

Upon hearing about Lin Jia's mother's nanny, Ye Ling was a little timid and didn't speak.

Yuzhi already understood, it turned out that Jiang's mother sent Shen's mother to take care of things, and she came to hear that Songyuan took her maid for surgery!
She thought for a while, picked up the golden bell that called people and shook it.

Ye Ling and Han Lin came in quickly.

Ye Ling frowned and said: "Auntie, as soon as Shen's mother settled down in Taohuayuan, she came here to find trouble!"

Han Lin helped Yuzhi get up, took a cup of tea and gave Yuzhi a sip.

Yu Zhi regained consciousness, and said: "Ye Ling, go and pass on my message, let Shen's mother wait in the east ear room, I'll go see her when I get up!"

There are three side rooms on the east and west sides of the main building, the west side room becomes Yuzhi's private treasury, and the east side room is the place where Yuzhi meets guests.

Ye Ling answered "yes", knowing that his aunt was going to take care of Shen's mother, so he happily went out to spread the word.

Yuzhi's head was a little dizzy and her throat was a little dry, so she ordered Han Lin: "Bring in another cup of warm water, I'm a little thirsty!"

Han Lin came in again with a cup of warm water, served Yu Zhi to drink it, and then said in a low voice: "Auntie, although Mama Shen is annoying, but she was sent by Mrs. Jiang, and she is the nanny of the late concubine... "

Yuzhi lay back down again, lying there contentedly: "She has a special status, I can't do anything with her, so let her be the lord's curse!"

Hanlin admired Yuzhi the most, knowing that Yuzhi always had ideas, so he smiled and stopped talking, walked over and began to spread the Fangjie silk handkerchief on Yuzhi's shoulders, and began to massage Yuzhi.

Her massage technique was taught by the imperial physician when she was in the palace, and she has some know-how, so she often massages Yuzhi.

Yuzhi was the most comfortable, she immediately turned over and said, "Give me a massage on my back!"

Han Lin pursed his lips and smiled, answered "yes", and began to massage skillfully.

Ye Ling took Mother Shen to the east ear room and left.

Shen's mother looked at the east ear room, and saw that there were three rooms, one bright and two dark. The furniture inside were all yellow rosewood furniture, and the utensils placed were all high-quality celadon. There were a few landscape paintings on the wall, which were very elegant. .

She unceremoniously sat down on the arhat bed with embroidered purple magnolia brocade mattress, and waited for Aunt Yu to come to see her.

But after waiting and waiting, no one came to bring tea or snacks, and no one came to pass on the message, and Yuzhi was nowhere to be seen.

Shen's mother sat there thirsty and hungry, listening attentively, she could hear the voice of the servant girl talking on the porch outside the main room and the footsteps of the maid hurriedly walking.

She couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and wanted to go out, but when she looked around, she found that it was very lively outside - a group of people surrounded Lin Jia and came back!
Shen's mother sat on the bench for a long time and was furious. When she saw Lin Jia coming over, she suddenly had an idea and had an idea in her mind—to sue Lin Jia!

The plan was made, and Shen's mother ran out immediately.
