Brother Jin died.

Lin Zhixuan sat in front of her son's bed, in the hot summer, in such a hot weather, everything was hot, only her son, and her small body gradually became cold.

She held her son's little hand and sat here all night, not crying or making trouble, but she was so frightened that her mother in charge of the house, Dongmei, had no master, Dongmei persuaded several times, but Lin Zhixuan seemed to have lost her soul, as if she couldn't hear a word, but she still spoke to her son gently: "Brother Jin, I used to be a bad mother, I only cared about this Hou Mansion that couldn't be supported, I didn't have time to take care of you, I didn't know that you were afraid of the cold, and I didn't know that you were afraid of the dark, now, my mother doesn't care about anything, she doesn't care about anything, she only accompanies you, okay......? ”

Looking at Lin Zhixuan, who was stunned, Dongmei couldn't take care of that much anymore, she was going to find her aunt, at least Aunt Lin to take a look. Dongmei thought about it and rushed out of the door, but as soon as she walked to the small courtyard, she was stopped by the officers and soldiers, after the Wuying Marquis's mansion was raided, the Hou Ye entered the palace and has not come back until now, and the female relatives of the family are all confined in their respective courtyards and are not allowed to move.

The officers and soldiers who knelt at the door of Dongmei and guarded cried: "Please, a few adults, the little prince is dead, and the lady is afraid that she will be sad and crazy, please ask a few adults to invite a doctor to take a look......"

The man also saw that she was pitiful, so he simply said a few more words to her: "What are you making trouble, what kind of imperial doctor are you asking, Wu Yinghou is rebelling, the evidence is conclusive, and the holy decree of the whole door will come down immediately, what's the use of you crying here!"

Dongmei was stunned and "rebelled"? How could she rebel, and who was rebelling?

It turned out that everything was fine, Xiao Shizi's illness suddenly became serious half a month ago, and Mrs. was not allowed to hand over the affairs of the family to Aunt Lin for a few days, just a few days, how could she fall to the point of rebellion and rebellion, raiding the house and destroying the door?

"The holy decree has arrived!" Dongmei suddenly heard the voice of the eunuch in front of her, and then there was a commotion everywhere, and there were screams and curses everywhere. The officers and soldiers guarding their courtyard on the side also pulled up Dongmei and wanted to take them to the front to receive orders.

"No...... I'm not going!" Dongmei struggled in disbelief, but saw that some officers and soldiers from the side entered the house to take Lin Zhixuan away.

Dongmei struggled to stop: "Don't be rude to Madame! You let me go, Hou Ye didn't rebel! Hou Ye is wronged! The emperor will find out the truth and restore the innocence of the Hou Mansion...... Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin is here, go and persuade Madame!"

The officers and soldiers who were entangled with Dongmei raised their heads, and saw Li Qi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, walking behind a beautiful and pretty woman, that woman was Wu Yinghou's fourth aunt, Lin Zhixuan's cousin Lin Yaxuan, and there was a eunuch behind them, holding a white silk, dagger and poisonous wine in his hand, the officer and soldier hurriedly let go and saluted Li Qi, Li Qi waved his hand and said: "In addition to Mrs. Wu Yinghou, the idle people will take them to the front hall to receive orders." ”

"Yes. A group of people responded, tearing Dongmei away.

Lin Yaxuan followed Li Qi and the eunuch from the palace into Lin Zhixuan's Youchun Hall.

Lin Zhixuan had been pulled out of Brother Jin'er's bed by the officers and soldiers, and now that someone had let her go, she didn't care about anything, she only went to find her son, holding Brother Jin'er's hand on the one hand, and because she had just seen Lin Yaxuan, she said slowly: "Sister, did you bring medicine to Brother Jin again?" Your medicine is very good, Brother Jin has drunk a lot better, and he woke up, and told me to write to me." You're bringing medicine with you again, aren't you?"

Lin Yaxuan looked at Lin Zhixuan's appearance, but said with a smile: "Sister, my medicine is very expensive, it is a lot of medicine mixed with arsenic, it has been used so much for Brother Jin, and now Brother Jin doesn't need it." ”

Lin Zhixuan held her son's hand and trembled violently, and turned her head tremblingly: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Lin Yaxuan stopped talking, Li Qi had already stepped forward and said to Lin Zhixuan: "Mrs. Wu Yinghou Lin takes the order. ”

Lin Zhixuan didn't pay attention to Li Qi at all, just stared at Lin Yaxuan: "Let me ask you, what did you just say?!"

Lin Yaxuan hurriedly stopped Li Qi, who was frowning, and said, "Don't be angry, my lord, let my sister explain two more last words to the concubine." ”

Li Qi looked at Lin Yaxuan's brows furrowed tightly, but he didn't say anything, but retreated outside the screen to give the two sisters a little convenience.

Lin Zhixuan only looked at Lin Yaxuan in her eyes: "Last words?"

Lin Yaxuan's always delicate and moving face was full of smug smiles and the pleasure of revenge at this time: "Yes, the Hou Mansion has turned out the secret letter of the Hou Ye colluding with the henchmen, all of which are conspiracy to rebel, oh, there is also a dragon robe, tsk, this matter is big." It's still light to be beheaded all over the house, but if it's heavy, it's going to destroy the nine clans. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Lin Zhixuan stepped forward and grabbed her, "Hou Ye is such a cowardly person, how could he do such a thing behind my back!"

Lin Yaxuan was pulled by Lin Zhixuan's clothes, and she didn't struggle, just smiled and watched her dying struggle: "It is worthy of being a husband and wife for many years, and my sister really understands Master Hou." His ignorant and reckless man, if it weren't for his sister's support for so many years, he wouldn't even be able to keep the Hou Mansion, let alone rebel, he has the heart of a thief, and he doesn't have the courage of a thief. ”

Lin Zhixuan looked at Lin Yaxuan in disbelief, that sister she had spoiled since she was a child, how could she become like this?

Lin Yaxuan was still smiling, and whispered in her ear, "It's me...... I was the one who poisoned your precious son, and I was the one who changed the secret letter and hid the dragon robe. In order to keep the Hou Mansion, you have spared no effort and worked hard for more than ten years, but in just half a month, I destroyed it, is my sister more powerful than your sister?"

"Why are you doing this?!"

Lin Yaxuan looked at Lin Zhixuan, who was in pain, but she laughed and pushed her hand away, pushing the weak Lin Zhixuan to the ground: "Why? You ask me why? Because this qiē was originally mine! Hou Ye is mine, and Mrs. Hou Fu should also be mine! If it weren't for me at the beginning, how could you, a woman in a poor countryside, marry Hou Ye and become the support of the whole family, and those people in the family are courteous to you one by one!"

And I, my husband, had an accident and became a disabled person who could no longer be an official, and the family lived in poverty, but you enjoyed happiness here! This is mine, and I want to take it back! Heh, of course, it was I who killed the cripple, and the old immortal mother-in-law, and I also gave the medicine to the Hou Ye and conceived his child. Oh, I still think of the scene when my sister made the old lady angry half to death in order to get justice for me, in order to give me a name, sister, you did everything you can to maintain it, even I was moved. ”

Lin Yaxuan looked at Lin Zhixuan's pale face, her every word was like a knife inserted in Lin Zhixuan's heart, cutting her painfully one by one, and looking at her appearance, Lin Yaxuan became more and more happy: "Is it painful? This is the feeling, I have also experienced it, that is, on the night my son was born, it was a stillborn child, and he died before he could take a look at this world, but your son lived a good life and became the son of the world, and your daughter is even more noble as the queen of the Middle Palace! I can't get it, I won't let you get it, I'd rather destroy it all! But now, sister, I'm sorry for you, your husband, the Hou Ye who is rumored to be thousands of nobles and covers the sky with one hand, turned out to be just a straw bag with a strong heart, this Hou Mansion, it turned out that you were supporting it, and if you fell, there would be nothing left here. ”

The truth was revealed in an instant, the black hand that she had been hiding in the Hou Mansion for so many years and she had not been able to find out was actually her favorite sister since she was a child, Lin Zhixuan smiled, but tears couldn't stop flowing: "It's me, it's me who is stupid, it's me who has no eyes! The old lady was killed by you, wasn't it? and Qiu Ju, it's all you, right?!"

Hearing Qiu Ju, Lin Yaxuan clenched her fists and said, "Qiu Ju! those girls around you, she is the most damned, she is against me everywhere, and she even found a letter from me to change the Hou Mansion, how can she not die?"

Yes, Qiu Ju is her most powerful right-hand man for so many years, and if this hand is abolished, she will only have this sister to entrust.

Li Qi outside seemed to be waiting impatiently, and with the eunuch from the palace announcing the decree, Lin Zhixuan knelt there, motionless, describing withered.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Wuying Marquis Xie Wendong was bewitched by his wife, rebellious, intended to usurp the throne and seek power, heaven and earth were punished together, and the whole door was beheaded, and his wife Lin was extremely evil, and the nine clans were destroyed. Chin this. ”

Lin Yaxuan, who was on the side, exclaimed in shock: "What...... What? Why do you want to exterminate the Lin clan?"

Li Qi looked at Lin Yaxuan with a sneer: "Last night, in order to exempt himself from the criminal law, Master Hou pleaded guilty to all of them, and everything he said was instructed by his wife, and he didn't know anything. However, the emperor is gracious, and Aunt Lin has made a meritorious report, which can save you from death. ”

Lin Zhixuan suddenly laughed, good! It's good! She has worked hard for so many years to keep this high-ranking Hou Mansion, in order to protect that man, in order to keep her sister, and now in the end, she is designed by her sister and framed by her husband, and for the sake of this family, she is implicated in the destruction of her mother's family!

Looking at the grief-stricken Lin Zhixuan, Li Qi continued: "Madam, the emperor remembered your kindness to him when he was a child, and he couldn't bear to punish him, leaving you with a whole corpse and committing suicide, please choose one." ”

Lin Zhixuan looked at the poisonous wine, white silk and dagger that the eunuch held in front of her, but suddenly looked up at Li Qi: "What about the queen mother?

Li Qi's face couldn't bear it: "The emperor has been serving the queen mother wholeheartedly for so many years, and like you, he committed suicide." ”

Lin Zhixuan's heart was suffocated, she raised her head and looked at Lin Yaxuan in front of her who was still in shock because of a holy decree just now, Lin Zhixuan's eyes were full of hatred, she suddenly grabbed the dagger in front of her, got up suddenly, and stabbed towards Lin Yaxuan's chest, the eunuch wanted to stop it, but was stopped in Li Qi's eyes.

The dagger stabbed into Lin Yaxuan's chest fiercely, and Lin Yaxuan looked at her sister with an angry face in front of her in shock: "You!"

Lin Zhixuan's hands were covered with blood, gritted her teeth and said: "The Hou Mansion is destroyed, how can you not die? The Lin family is destroyed, how can you not be destroyed? Heaven wants to let you live, I don't allow it!"

Looking at Lin Yaxuan, who fell heavily in shock, Lin Zhixuan slowly stood up straight, as if she was as graceful and luxurious, calm and calm as before, the eunuchs and guards on the side were afraid that she would do something again, and wanted to use it, but Lin Zhixuan looked at the remaining white silk and poisonous wine, and slowly picked up the poisonous wine: "In this way, it is enough." I'm not going to embarrass Lady Lee. ”

Then he tilted his head and drank it all. Lin Zhixuan slowly put the cup back in its place, didn't look at everyone, and just walked in the direction of his son on the bed, she slowly held her son's hand and sat quietly on the edge of his bed.

Li Qi waved everyone away, but said to Lin Zhixuan helplessly: "Madam, in fact, the emperor has seen the concessions and efforts you have made over the years, originally, the emperor planned to let the Hou Mansion live, but it is a pity that the Hou Mansion has such a good sister as you, and the useless Hou Ye." ”

After saying that, Li Qi shook his head helplessly, ordered someone to drag Lin Yaxuan's body on the ground and throw it into the mass grave, and then left.

Lin Zhixuan just quietly held her son's cold little hand, and the sound of crying and grabbing the ground when the Hou Mansion was about to be destroyed outside could no longer enter Lin Zhixuan's ears.

"Brother Jin, it's good that you didn't wake up, you don't have to look at the filth and filth all over the ground, don't be afraid, my mother will come to accompany you. In this life, my mother wasted too much effort for unworthy people and unworthy things, and finally lost you, your sister, and the entire Lin family, my mother is sorry for you, sorry for your sister, sorry for your mother...... If, if you live again......"

The sound stopped abruptly, and the once prosperous Wuyinghou Mansion and the Lin Mansion with infinite scenery in Hangzhou disappeared overnight.

Lin Zhixuan lay on the body of her youngest son, dead and blind.
