Chapter 61: Temptation
She didn't expect that her actions would bring disaster to the family, the emperor first wanted to recruit his father and brother back to Beijing, and took the opportunity to remove their military power, and then fabricated the crime of rebellion, and all the people in the family were imprisoned, and all the men over the age of six in the house were beheaded, and all the women were confiscated into the workshop. I still remember that I sneaked out of the cold palace and knelt in front of the palace and begged bitterly, but the emperor didn't say anything until he knelt and passed out.
He just came out of the imperial study, and stood there with an indifferent expression, his eyes staring at him coldly, and he spit out the most ruthless words with his usual magnetic and beautiful voice, "I have long wanted to get rid of your father and brother, but I can't find the appropriate charge, this qiē can be so smooth, and it is really thanks to you in the middle, as for you, because of your father and brother before, I had to fight with you, but you, a poisonous woman, killed my most beloved jade concubine, and I can't wait to cut you with a thousand knives, How can you spare your family because of your slut's intercession! The emperor had deep hatred on his face, and his eyes were cold and staring at her.
In the past, she always smiled like a spring breeze on her face, how could she show such a hateful face to herself, Lin Wanqing at that time couldn't believe it, she raised her eyes and stared blankly at the indifference and ruthlessness in her dark eyes like an ink pool, no longer the gentle and affectionate love she had before, if she was beaten into the cold palace, she still had a trace of fantasy.
The string of cold and ruthless words he spit out at this time was like a knife that crushed her heart, screwed away her long-held dreams, and her heart was suddenly shattered into wisps, but it was like five thunderbolts, as if her soul was not there, and she was wiped out. It turned out that her infatuation was exchanged for such ruthless use and spitting. People are deliberately trying to put their relatives to death, and they are stupid to drill into his trap, but the ridiculous person has never liked himself, and some are just full of disgust.
In the end, she opened a pair of eyes full of hatred and unwillingness, and was hanged by the emperor himself with white silk. Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing was already in tears, but it was a pity that she was not reborn into the dynasty before her, as soon as she was reborn into the original owner, she tried to inquire about this dynasty and the emperor, but she was extremely disappointed, this is a strange dynasty with her, and the emperor is not the emperor in her previous life. Otherwise, she would have avenged this sea of blood. That's why when she saw someone with the same face as Concubine Yu at first glance, she was so excited.
The next morning, Ziyue tiptoed into the house, wanting to see if Miss was awake, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a figure sitting in the curtain, "Miss, you woke up so early, why don't you sleep for a while." She hurried over to set up the tent, and said with a grin.
When she saw Lin Wanqing, she suddenly exclaimed, and asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong with you, didn't you sleep well at night?" Lin Wanqing touched her face, she didn't sleep all night last night, knowing that her face must be extremely ugly, she got out of bed and walked to the bronze mirror and sat down for a photo, her face was pale, her eyes were a little swollen and blue, because her skin was fair, it was even more obvious.
She met Ziyue's worried eyes, and said with relief, "I'm fine, it's just that I don't know the bed a little, I haven't slept well, just stay for two days and get used to it." Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and then said, "By the way, in a while, you go and ask me about Aunt Lian, and you have to inquire in detail about every bit of it." ”
Ziyue immediately responded positively, last night she was waiting on the side, seeing that Hou Ye was too much for Aunt Lian, Miss is the lady who is about to marry Aunt Lian, Hou Ye does not take care of Miss Hao, but is very attentive to Aunt Lian, she can't see it, no matter how good Aunt Lian is, she is just an aunt, and there are no rules in this house, otherwise there will be an aunt on the table to eat, so you have to keep an eye on Aunt Lian, otherwise you will only be afraid of climbing on the head of Miss in the future. The loyal Ziyue was suddenly in high spirits.
Lin Wanqing applied a hot egg to her eyes, and covered it with a heavy fat powder, and then hastily had breakfast, and a maid came to report, "Miss Table, Master Hou asked the slave maid to come and tell Miss Table, he has something to do in the past few days, let Miss Cousin walk around the house by herself, and when he has time, take Miss Cousin out for a walk." Lin Wanqing responded with a smile and gave her a few bounties to let her go.
She has something hidden in her heart, although her spirit is a little sleepy, but she can't sleep, so she simply goes outside, Ziyue went out, she took the new maid called Shuangfu in the house, she is younger, lively and smiling, just stepped out of the house, what catches her eye is a blooming rose, those roses have been spread all over the side of the courtyard wall, under the embellishment of green leaves, the courtyard is dressed up in purple and red, full of vitality.
Looking at the delicate roses in the yard, Lin Wanqing's mood seemed to be better, Shuangfu was a maid who loved to talk and laugh, seeing Lin Wanqing with a smile on her face, she became bold, and smiled at Lin Wanqing and said, "Miss Cousin, look how beautiful this rose is!" The slave maid picks a hairpin for you, it must be beautiful. As he spoke, he ran to the flowers and picked a very good pink rose, jumped back to Lin Wanqing, put a hairpin on her bun, looked at it, and said with admiration, "Miss Biao, you are so beautiful!" ”
Lin Wan smiled lightly and said, "No matter how beautiful it is, it can be more beautiful than Aunt Lian in your house." Shuangfu Yingying smiled and replied eloquently, "Aunt Lian is very beautiful, but Miss Biao is also very beautiful, yes, they are two different kinds of beauty, just like the roses in our yard are very beautiful, but other flowers are also very beautiful." ”
Lin Wanqing was amused by her analogy, and couldn't help but laugh, "You girl, you mouth is quite able to speak!" Shuangfu smiled and said, "The slave maid is just telling the truth, don't believe it, the slave maid took Miss Biao to the garden of the mansion to see, where there are more flowers, they are all blooming beautifully." ”
When Lin Wanqing heard this, she was a little moved, so she said, "Okay, then let's go and take a look, flowers as beautiful as roses." Lin Wanqing deliberately teased Shuangfudao. Shuangfu immediately jumped up with joy, and said happily with a smile on his face, "Miss Biao, when you go to see it, you know that the slave maid didn't scold you." ”
The two walked all the way, passed through the stone arch into the garden, they saw the rockery abruptly and craggy, the strange stone was poetic and picturesque, the east side of the garden was full of flowers, the flowers that bloomed were not very large, the stars were dotted from a distance, the color was yellow, red, white and also exuded bursts of fragrance, many colorful butterflies flew and danced on it, the scenery was picturesque.
Lin Wanqing was intoxicated by the fragrance of this rich and pleasant flower, and couldn't help but stand still and stop to watch, the breeze hit, raised the corners of her skirt, a large piece of green bamboo in the west was making a rustling sound at this time, she raised her eyes to look, and saw that the eaves of the pavilion were faintly exposed under the cover of the green bamboo, as if there was still the sound of running water, she couldn't help but move her steps to the bamboo forest, just arrived at the bamboo forest, and heard the woman's delicate voice in the pavilion.
She followed the prestige, and suddenly her expression was shocked, and she saw her looming eyebrows, like hatred and joy, delicate and delicate nose, not red cherry lips, skin like condensation, cheeks like pink, and the willow waist that was not in her hand leaned gracefully beside the carved wooden fence of the water pavilion. In the midst of the water, the appearance of the country and the city looms. It's not Aunt Lian.
Lin Wanqing looked intently, Shuangfu picked a bouquet of flowers, saw Miss Table go to the bamboo forest, hurriedly caught up, but saw Miss Table standing there still, she followed Miss Table's gaze, and saw that Aunt Lian was leaning on the fence looking at the koi under the water pavilion, she took Lin Wanqing's hand and said with a smile, "Miss Table, let's also go to the pavilion to sit, this pavilion is cool in summer, and there are many precious varieties of koi in the water." ”
Shen Qinglian also seemed to be aware of this look at this at this time, and was bumping into Lin Wanqing's gaze, looking at each other, Shen Qinglian smiled at Qing Qian, bowing slightly. Lin Wanqing replied with a faint smile that seemed to be invisible, quickly lowered her eyelashes, and forcibly suppressed the churning love in her heart.
The master and servant walked into the pavilion, Shen Qinglian and Qing'er hurriedly stood up to salute, the two exchanged a few words, and then sat down, Shen Qinglian picked up the teapot on the stone table and poured tea for Lin Wanqing personally, and said with a smile, "Miss Biao, this is the flower tea I made myself, you can taste it, see if you can eat it." ”
Lin Wan cleared her head, her white fingers held up the tea cup, and her nose suddenly smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, refreshing, she took a sip, and suddenly her mouth was full of aroma and slightly sweet, she smiled and praised, "It is indeed excellent, different from tea, with a floral fragrance and some sweetness." Shen Qinglian saw that she liked it, so she said, "If Miss Cousin likes it, when Lianniang goes back, she will send some to Miss Cousin, the medical book can say that this flower tea is also beautiful and beautiful!" ”
"That's so good, then I'm welcome, but Aunt Lian knows a lot." Lin Wanqing looked at her with inquiring eyes, this Aunt Lian's hobbies and temperament are so similar to Concubine Yu, "I don't dare to say this, they are all unacceptable, and they are also idle and messing around, so it is a novelty." Shen Qinglian said with a smile.
Shuangfu couldn't help but interject on the side, "Aunt Lian has been harmed, she can also make rouge balm, and the rouge balm sells better than the shop, and the maids in the house who don't envy the maids in Aunt Lian's yard can use the balm made by Aunt Lian." Shuangfu's face was full of envy, and Lin Wanqing's hands in his wide sleeves were clenched into fists, and she couldn't help asking, "Where did Aunt Lian learn these many things, could it be that she learned them from anyone, you must know that these finger balms have recipes." With that, his eyes were fixed on her.
Shen Qinglian saw that her expression was abnormal, and her questions were strange, she glanced at her a little strangely, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, I love to read those miscellaneous books, these are all things I saw from the books, and then I made it myself, how do you think it was really done for me." Speaking of this, Shen Qinglian's eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin Wanqing was unwilling in the end, gritted her teeth and threw out the things of her previous life, and then said tentatively, "I used to have a close friend in the boudoir, and then I entered the palace, and I also like to mess with these, but I heard her say that she just started to make these, but she had no choice, at that time, someone in the palace mixed poison into the finger balm, causing people to be disfigured, she saw with her own eyes that the concubine's face became a ghost, which scared her enough, and she didn't dare to use these things in the palace again, so she learned to make these things by herself, but she didn't expect to really mess it up for her, It's as good as Aunt Lian. A pair of black eyes looked at Shen Qinglian meaningfully.
Shen Qinglian's heart suddenly "chuckled", could it be that this Lin Wanqing was a concubine or palace maid in the palace in her previous life, otherwise how would she know about this matter in the palace in her previous life, and she specially said it to herself, what does it mean, does she also doubt herself, so she said this thing in her previous life to test herself, Shen Qinglian suddenly felt a thrill in her heart, she couldn't let her see it, at this time, she didn't know if she was an enemy or a friend! You must know that she died unjustly in her previous life, and she didn't know who killed her until she died, so no matter who she was in the palace, she couldn't let her see her details.
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to show anything on her face, but smiled and said, "Miss Biao, I'm really joking, the lady in this palace, that is a civilian woman like Lianniang can compare, the rouge balm she made must be excellent, how dare Lianniang compare with her, these little things that Lianniang tinkered with can only fool people who have never seen the world, so you see that those balm rouge I make only dare to give to the maids in my own yard, like Miss Biao, you are a golden and precious person, you must never look down on it, Lianniang didn't dare to take it out to make people laugh. ”
Lin Wanqing saw that she couldn't see a trace of clues on her face, and her words were even more leaky, and she was a little irritable and a little breathless, you know, how much perseverance she has to use against this face to suppress the hatred that is rolling in her heart, so she doesn't want to face this face for a moment when she sees that she can't find anything.
He also ripped off his previous polite attitude towards her, stood up, and said coldly, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." The people in the pavilion couldn't react, how could they say that they would turn their faces, Shuangfu hurriedly chased them out, Qing'er pouted, and muttered angrily, "This lady is still from the capital, why is she so uneducated, and if she speaks well, she just shook her face and left, what kind of person!" ”
Shen Qinglian looked thoughtfully at Lin Wanqing's distant back, she was sure now that this Lin Wanqing must be the same as her, and she still had a grudge in her previous life, but who was it? Speaking of which, there must have been a lot of enmity with yourself in the palace in the previous life, just like in this mansion, it's not that you offended her, but because you are favored, you will inevitably be jealous of other women, thinking of these Shen Qinglian has a headache again, she is a black physique, and she can attract enemies anywhere, it seems that she will have to be more careful in the future.
Here, Lin Wanqing returned to the house, took Shuangfu away, and stayed quietly alone, until Ziyue came back, as soon as she saw Ziyue, she stood up eagerly and asked, "How is it, what can Ziyue know?" ”
