Queen's Development

Chapter 259 Lin Jia Returns
At the beginning of July, the brand-new Funing Hall with glazed tiles, red walls, green trees and red flowers shines brightly in the bright autumn sunshine.

The main hall of Funing Hall is very shady.

The concubines who came to pay their respects all left one after another. Empress Jiang relaxed on the couch leaning on the bright yellow pillow, her eyes were slightly closed, and her eyelashes were thick and long.

Qingming sat cross-legged on the edge of the couch, massaging Empress Jiang's legs.

Empress Jiang opened her eyes and ordered: "It's time to take medicine, go and get it!"

She waited a while to see Emperor Yongtai, and if she took the Miao people's secret medicine first, the effect would be better.

Qingming answered "yes", and quickly went into the bedroom to get the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Empress Jiang re-dressed her makeup, and then went to Yutang Palace with the full queen's honor guard.

Emperor Yongtai was standing in front of the red sandalwood carved Chishu table, frowning looking at the objects on the table.

He hasn't seen Ah Yin for several months, he really misses Ah Yin!

Yang Wen and Jin Buxiang stood quietly on one side.

Jin Buxiang glanced at it, and saw that there were a few little soldiers carved out of wood on the desk, so exquisite, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled: These are children's toys, why did the Empress ask me to find these toys and give them to Your Majesty? Woolen cloth?Your Majesty, what are these toys doing?Are these shade toys?

However, Yang Wen knew that these were all the toys of the Prince’s son, A Yin, and His Majesty was afraid that he missed the little emperor’s grandson, so he said softly: “Your Majesty, I heard that the son and Concubine Bai were sick in Qingzhou, and sent someone to the capital to ask the imperial doctor to treat them. Woolen cloth!"

Emperor Yongtai was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Is Ah Yin sick? Is it serious? Hurry up and send an imperial doctor to see him!"

He felt a little flustered, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said, "No, I want to go to Qingzhou to see Ah Yin myself!"

Yang Wen was about to speak, but a very pleasant female voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the prince and the prince are not in the capital, if you leave again, the capital may be in great trouble!"

It was Queen Jiang's voice.

After hearing this, Emperor Yongtai endured his irritability and looked at Empress Jiang who was helping the female officer to come in: "Is there anything the Empress can do?"

Ah Yin is only two years old, children are the most dangerous to get sick, he is really worried about little Ah Yin!
Thinking of Ah Yin's illness, Emperor Yongtai wished he could suffer for Ah Yin.

Empress Jiang stepped forward, Yingying bowed down.

Emperor Yongtai was preoccupied, and stepped forward to help Empress Jiang.

Empress Jiang rested her slender and tender fingers on Emperor Yongtai's hand, looked up at Emperor Yongtai, and smiled tenderly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has heard the news and has sent Zheng Liang Bixiu of the Imperial Hospital to follow Shishizheng to Qingzhou. Compulsory medical skills are superb, the son will be fine!"

Emperor Yongtai was very irritable when he learned that Ayin was ill, but now he gradually calmed down after listening to Queen Jiang's words, as if he had a backbone.

He supported Empress Jiang and sat down on the imperial couch together.

Empress Jiang looked up at Yang Wen, and said with a smile, "Yang Wen, I want to eat the snacks from Yixingzhai outside the palace, but I am worried about others, so you can go for me!"

Yang Wen looked at Emperor Yongtai, but Emperor Yongtai was looking at Empress Jiang with a smile.

He had no choice but to answer "yes" respectfully and retreated.

Empress Jiang snuggled into Emperor Yongtai's arms, and a pair of white and tender hands penetrated into Emperor Yongtai's lapel. While gently teasing, she said softly: "Since Your Majesty misses your son so much, why don't you order Jin Buxiang to pass the decree and let Liang Bixiu Accompany the prince and concubine Bai on the road, receive treatment on the way, and when we arrive in the capital, concubine Bai and concubine Bai will recover from their illnesses, and the prince will be able to enter the palace to be married!"

Emperor Yongtai was made ecstatic by Empress Jiang, and immediately ordered Jin Buxiang to go to Qingzhou to pass the decree, urging the side concubine Bai and the eldest son to set off for Beijing immediately after receiving the decree.

As soon as Jin Buxiang left, Emperor Yongtai was overthrown by Empress Jiang.

Empress Jiang rode on Emperor Yongtai, lit the fire with her nimble fingers, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, please give me a concubine."

Emperor Yongtai's voice was erratic: "Okay, I will give you all."

If Empress Jiang can regenerate a prince for him, it would be good to help Ah Yin rule the world in the future.
In August, the final battle was over. The Dazhou army repelled the Koryo army for [-] miles, and finally gained the mouth of the Northeast Sea.

He Lianshan and others were finishing the work, but Lin Jia secretly summoned several trusted generals overnight.

Early the next morning, Lin Jia issued an order: "I am sick from overwork and need to rest. Yang Xin and He Lianshan will be responsible for all matters in the army."

He has already calculated the schedule to go to Qingzhou from the northeast estuary by sea, and he should be able to arrive in Qingzhou before August [-]th.

Although everyone in the army was surprised, Lin Jia governed the army very strictly, and there was no trouble. All matters were carried out orderly under the auspices of Yang Xin and He Lianshan.

Yuzhi and Ayin lay quietly on the bed.

The light in the bedroom was a little dark, exuding a strong smell of medicine.

Li Rui led Shi Shizheng and Liang Bixiu into the bright room, stopped outside the bedroom, and said in a desolate voice, "The son and concubine are recuperating in the bedroom."

Shi Shi was looking at the bead curtain hanging on the bedroom door, sniffed it lightly, and naturally smelled a strong smell of medicine.

The empress had already explained that no matter whether the Bai mother and son were really sick or fake, they would be brought back to the capital and dealt with before Lin Jia's class returned to court.

This time he deliberately delayed on the road for several days, just to wait for the new order.

Thinking of this, Shi Shizheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled coldly, coughed lightly, and then said loudly: "The queen's mother's order is passed on, and the Bai family and the prince's son will accept the order!"

Li Rui sighed, and said in a low voice: "The side concubine and the son are very ill, and are often in a coma. How can they get up to receive the order? If Eunuch Shi doesn't believe it, please go in with Liang Yuanzheng to have a look!"

Shi Shizheng smiled even wider, glanced at Liang Bixiu, and said, "Liang Yuanzheng, please!"

Liang Bixiu also smiled and said, "Eunuch Shi, please!"

There were two maidservants standing in front of the bed in the bedroom, and when they saw Shi Shi and a group of people coming in, they hurriedly bowed their knees to salute.

Li Rui asked in a shy voice: "Have the side concubine and the son woke up yet?"

The two maids standing in the bedroom are Ye Ling and Han Lin.

Ye Ling's face was pale, his eyelids were swollen, and he cried, "The side concubine and the prince are still... not awake yet."

Before she finished speaking, she was already in tears, covered her face with a veil and began to cry.

The other maid is Han Lin.

Han Lin just wept silently, but his eyes were red from crying.

Shi Shi smiled coldly, walked to the bed with his hands behind his back, and found a haggard young woman and a blue-faced child lying on the bed, they were the side concubine Bai and Shizi Linyin.

He didn't believe it, so he bent down and wanted to touch Concubine Bai's face, but Li Rui reacted very strongly, and immediately took his hand away: "What does Eunuch Shi want to do?"

Quartz was a little afraid of Li Rui, so he put his hands behind his back resentfully, and looked at Liang Bixiu: "Let Liang Yuanzheng take a look!"

Li Rui immediately said: "The side concubine and the eldest son have high identities, so I can only diagnose the pulse with a silk thread!"

Shi Shi and Liang Bixiu looked at each other, understanding each other - no matter what the outcome, they must bring Bai's mother and son back to the capital!

Liang Bixiu took out a silk thread and handed it to Han Lin who was just crying silently: "Tie one end to the side concubine's right wrist, pull the other end out!"

Han Lin tied the silk thread obediently, and handed the other end to Liang Bixiu.

Liang Bixiu held one end of the silk thread, put on a show, said a few words of medical terms, and then began to diagnose the son's pulse again.

After reading all of them, he twirled his beard and said: "It's okay, the side concubine and the eldest son can go to Beijing immediately, and Liang can treat the side concubine and the eldest son on the way!"

Li Rui stepped forward immediately and said, "Eunuch Shi, Yuanzheng Liang, let's go out and have a cup of tea first!"

After Li Rui took Shishizheng and Liang Bixiu out, Yuzhi and Lin Yin opened their eyes together.

Lin Yin threw herself on her mother, and was about to act like a spoiled child, but Yuzhi covered her mouth.

Yuzhi said in a low voice: "Ayin, we have to continue acting, we can only get up when the bad guys are gone!"

A Yin nodded seriously, and lay back obediently, but her pair of dark phoenix eyes were still rolling around, very cute.

Li Rui sat with Shishizheng and Liang Bixiu in the open room, fighting with each other.

Shishi was insisting on taking Yuzhi's mother and son back to Beijing, but Li Rui absolutely disagreed.

Li Rui soon discovered that Quartz was deliberately delaying time, and suddenly made up his mind: Even if they use force, they must not let them take Yuzhi and Ayin away!
The two had already started to quarrel, but a young eunuch ran in: "Report to Eunuch Shi, Your Majesty sent Eunuch Jin to pass the decree, and General Wu De also brought the army to escort the side concubine Bai and the eldest son back to Beijing!"

Hearing this, Li Rui narrowed his eyes, straightened his back, and made up his mind again.

He had already arranged for the two thousand forbidden troops brought from the capital to wait in the side courtyard.

Shi Shizheng and Liang Bixiu were all smiles when they heard the words—the imperial decree finally came!
They immediately looked at Li Rui and said triumphantly, "Your Majesty's order has arrived, go out and receive it, Steward Li!"

Li Rui snorted and followed them out.

Ye Luxiao was standing outside, and when she saw Li Rui coming out, she immediately walked to Li Rui's side.

Jin Buxiang walked in with a spring breeze on his face, and said loudly, "I will receive the order from Lin Yin, the eldest son of the prince's mansion, and the side concubine Bai!"

Li Rui knelt down: "The side concubine is unconscious and unable to accept the order!"

Jin Buxiang smiled complacently, and said: "Your Majesty's order, is it true that the son and concubine Bai are disrespectful? General Wu De, take down the son and concubine Bai who are disrespectful!"

Li Rui got up immediately, his blood was surging, he took a deep breath, and slapped his hands hard three times.

A group of forbidden troops in full armor rushed out, stood behind Li Rui, and confronted the soldiers brought by General Wu De.

Yuzhi heard the conversation between Li Rui and Jin Buxiang in the bedroom, and knew that Jiang Zhen had already tried to see her, and she was afraid that she had made up her mind to kill herself and Ayin before Lin Jia's class returned to court.

She lightly helped A Yin to get up, let Ye Ling wait outside, and brought Han Lin and A Yin to the back of the bed.

Yuzhi stared at the bedpost for a while, and finally found a carved lotus flower.

She pulled down the lotus flower ornament vigorously, only to hear a "squeak" sound, a small square hole appeared under the bed, it looked black, and the smell of dust came out of her nostrils.

This was built by Lin Jia many years ago when Qinglianyuan was being renovated, but I didn't expect that it would come in handy one day.

Ah Yin's eyes were shining, and he wanted to climb over to look, but was held back by Han Lin.

Han Lin hugged A Yin and refused to let her pass.

Yu Zhi held Han Lin's hand: "You take Ah Yin down, if I didn't call you, don't make a sound!"

With tears in his eyes, Han Lin hugged A Yin and nodded.

Yuzhi helped Han Lin and A Yin into the small square cave.

This square hole is very small, only allow Han Lin to crouch inside holding Ah Yin.

Yu Zhi looked at the cold who was holding A Yin, and said softly: "I handed A Yin to you, and Fei Ying will come to rescue you two days later at Zishi."

Han Lin burst into tears, bit her lip to keep herself from crying, and hugged Ah Yin tightly with both hands.

At this time, Ah Yin also knew that the situation was serious, looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, and struggled to climb out to be with her mother, but Han Lin hugged her tightly.

Yuzhi took a deep look at her son, stretched out her hand to press down Han Lin and A Yin, and closed the lid.

When she stood up, Yuzhi was a little dizzy, she took a deep breath, and when she was less dizzy, she pulled out the latch of the rear window and half-opened the rear window.

After finishing all this work, Yuzhi took a small dagger from the makeup box, then went back to the bed and lay down again.

Looking at Li Rui's people, Jin Buxiang burst out laughing, and said: "Li Rui, you have only a few people, and General Wu De is ordered by His Majesty to bring [-] elite soldiers. Don't fight against the order and disobey the order. !"

Li Rui straightened his back and said with a sneer, "Jin Buxiang, you falsely preached the imperial decree, what should you do!"

No matter what, he will protect the prince and side concubine for the prince, even if he dies here!
Jin Buxiang glanced at Wude General Jiang Wuhuan, and said indifferently: "General Jiang, are you still not doing anything?"

Jiang Wuhuan is an offshoot of Jiang's family, so he naturally stood on the side of Empress Jiang. After receiving Jin Buxiang's order, he immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, let's go up together and catch this rebel who resisted the order. !"

At this moment, there was a sound of neat soap boots stepping on the bluestone slab from far to near, mixed with the sound of armor and weapons colliding, everyone looked over, but saw a handsome and tall young man striding forward Walking over, behind him were countless soldiers rushing towards him like a stream of water, and immediately surrounded the people in the courtyard.

When Shi Shizheng, Jiang Wuhuan and Liang Bixiu saw it, they froze there.

Li Rui was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately bowed his hands in salute, and said loudly, "My lord, you are finally back!"

Yeluxiao also heaved a sigh of relief.

Yuzhi heard Li Rui's words in the room, jumped out of bed and ran to the window, opened the window a crack and looked over, she really saw Lin Jia in armor.

She felt ecstasy in her heart, her heart was pounding, she ran to the back and released Han Lin and Han Lin, and hugged A Yin: "A Yin, your father, your father is back!"

A Yin is still young after all, she was about to run out when she heard the words, but was held back by Yu Zhi.

Yuzhi said softly: "Ayin, wait until your father drives these people away!"

Han Lin stood there with tears in his eyes, and his face was also covered in dust.

Outside, Shi Shizheng, Jiang Wuhuan and Liang Bixiu all turned pale with fright, and knelt down together: "I have met the prince!"

Lin Jia glanced at Lan Zhen and the others behind him, raised her hand and made a beheading motion.

Lan Zhen immediately rushed up with the elite and held the big knife. The three of Shi Shizheng were caught off guard, looked up, their eyes were dazzled by the reflection of the big knife.

Following three "plops" almost at the same time, the heads of Shi Shizheng, Jiang Wuhuan and Liang Bixiu fell, but their bodies remained kneeling.

Lin Jia walked over, raised her long legs and kicked out, Shi Shizheng, Jiang Wuhuan and Liang Bixiu all fell down without their heads.

Only then did Lin Jia look at the soldiers brought by Jiang Wuhuan: "I only pursue the culprit. This matter has nothing to do with you. Put down your weapons and stop pursuing them!"

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, and then someone yelled "Forgive me, the prince", and knelt down with a "plop" holding up their weapons.

With the leader, others soon followed suit, and the ten thousand soldiers brought by Jiang Wuhuan all knelt down.

Lin Jia looked at Lan Zhen: "I leave this to you!"

After saying that, he strode towards the Ming Dynasty with strides, getting more and more anxious, and finally he almost ran, almost leaping into the Ming Dynasty.

Lan Zhen watched from the outside, stunned: the prince has always been steady, why would he be so impatient?
As soon as Lin Jia entered the Ming room, she saw Yu Zhi walking out of the bedroom holding A Yin's hand.

Yuzhi has disheveled hair and a sickly face; Ayin's hair is covered in dust, and he looks in a mess. Both mother and son look at him with tears in their eyes.

Seeing the appearance of Yu Zhi and A Yin, Lin Jia's heart seemed to be hit by a boulder, and the pain was almost numb: "Yu Zhi, A Yin, what's wrong with you?"

Yuzhi and Ayin both laughed.

Ah Yin threw herself into Lin Jia's arms, said with a smile, "Daddy, it was Mrs. Zhang who painted the faces for my mother and me, and they are all fake!"

Lin Jia had lingering fears in her heart, and her phoenix eyes looked at Yu Zhi with slightly wet eyes.

Yuzhi walked over with tears in her eyes, and was embraced by Lin Jia.

She smelled Lin Jia's breath, and burst into tears: "Ajia, you are finally back!"

Lin Jia hugged Yuzhi and Ayin, feeling that the hole in her heart was instantly erased—his woman and son are fine, that's great!

After Yuzhi and Ayin washed their faces and necks under the wait of Hanlin and the others, they returned to their original state, the chaos outside also ended, and the tranquility was restored.

Lin Jia heard Yu Zhi finished talking about Qingzhou, and said slowly: "I will accompany you to Beijing."

The Koryo matter has been resolved, and he can free up his hands to clean up the Jiang family.

Yuzhi smiled and looked at Lin Jia: "Ajia, let me take you to take a bath first!"

Lin Jia probably rushed here day and night. I don't know how long it has been since I took a shower, and my body smells really bad.

When Lin Jia heard this, her handsome face blushed, and she really followed Yu Zhi to the bathroom.

A Yin also wanted to follow in, but was held back by Han Lin.

Han Lin smiled and gave Ye Bi and Ye Ling a wink: "My son is hungry, let Ye Ling and Ye Bi take you to take a bath and eat delicious food, okay?"

A Yin's attention was immediately attracted by the food: "I want to eat the braised yellow croaker I ate last time!"

Today is really too tense, he is afraid, curious, and excited, and he has exhausted his energy, so he realizes how hungry he is.

Ye Ling and Ye Bi had lingering fears, and agreed to take Ah Yin out.

Seeing A Yin being taken away by Ye Ling and Ye Bi, Han Lin heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Chun Yu and the others: "The side concubine and the prince don't need to be served, let's go out first!"

Lian Ji raised her eyes to look at the beaded curtain hanging on the bedroom, a little unable to move, thinking: Your lord is so beautiful!
Think again: Why is the prince so young?Looks like a good looking big brother
