Chapter 115: Distress in the Woods
Back at his residence, Lin Zhuohua leaned on the soft pillow and rubbed his forehead.
Jade stood aside and watched, and they all heard what Concubine Mu said to her own young lady.
"Miss, do you want to talk to Madame and the old man about this matter?"
Lin Zhuohua shook his head: "I don't need to tell my mother and grandfather about this matter, I can solve it myself." β
If she can't solve it, there will be Li Zeyi. Naturally, he would not watch his future princess being snatched away by others, and this matter would not give her a headache.
What gave her a headache was the doctor's conference proposed by Yigu, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. She didn't think that with the medicine house, her medical skills were better than anyone else's.
Just like in the hot summer, you have good resources and education, but what she lacks is practice. She has treated too few people so far, and she has very little experience. If her medical skills were really worthy of the resources she mastered, then she wouldn't have some medicines or illnesses that she still needed to ask the old ghost.
To put it bluntly, she still needs time to grow. But now that she has been invited, I am afraid that this doctor's conference will be a little difficult to deal with.
"Then what is the young lady bothering about?" Onyx poured a glass of warm water and brought it to her.
It was rare to see the young lady showing an irritable appearance, which made them a little worried.
"It's nothing, you guys go down, I want to rest."
Lin Zhuohua waved his hand, asked the two to step back, and went back to the room to rest.
Jade and Agate glanced at each other, and could only sigh secretly, if the young lady didn't want to say, no one could ask, so she could only pay more attention on weekdays.
Lin Zhuohua woke up again, and it was already dark.
Hearing movement inside, Jade and Onyx immediately lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Mademoiselle, Madame has been here in the afternoon. Seeing that you were asleep, he left, saying that he would wait for you to wake up and let you go over. β
Lin Zhuohua nodded when he heard this, asked people to put dinner down, and only after dinner did he take the jade and agate towards the house where Mrs. Lin lived.
Because they are in the palace, they live very close, and they can walk for a while.
When she arrived, Mrs. Lin was talking to the grandmother beside her, and she came in and beckoned.
"Zhuohua, come here."
Lin Zhuohua untied his cloak and handed it to the jade beside him, and then strolled to his mother and sat down.
Mrs. Lin held her hand, felt the cold touch in her hand, and frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?" β
"It's okay, maybe it's because I washed my hands after eating and eating dinner, and then I came out, and it will be fine in a while." She withdrew her hand, tilted her head and asked, "What's the matter with my mother calling her daughter over?" β
"Mother heard your eldest brother talk about you and King Yi, do you really like King Yi?"
Mrs. Lin was very entangled, her daughter was very happy to come out of the prince's divorce for her, but in a blink of an eye, she fell in love with the royal prince. She is really worried that her daughter will be hurt again, although King Yi looks good at the moment.
Lin Zhuohua was stunned for a moment, the eldest brother actually talked about these things with his mother, and it didn't feel like a big brother could do it.
"I know what my mother is worried about, but my senior brother is not the prince, and my grandfather also acquiesced in this."
She grabbed her mother's arm and rested her head on her shoulder. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he continued: "Besides, after my daughter has the experience of the same prince, she has a different perspective on people. Except for the fact that my brother is not in good health, everything else is good. The daughter believes that her medical skills will definitely cure her brother. Besides, King Yi is his grandfather's apprentice, and he won't treat his daughter badly for the sake of his grandfather's face. β
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she felt that what her daughter said made some sense, and she was a teacher for one day and a father for life. Jingguo people are very particular about these, King Yi is the apprentice of Lao Guogong in the eyes of outsiders, so for the sake of Lao Guogong's face, he will not treat his daughter badly.
"Hopefully this time your choice is not wrong."
Mrs. Lin doesn't want to interfere too much with her daughter, especially now that her daughter is becoming more and more assertive. The few shops and Zhuangzi handed over to her now have several times more income than before, and even her mother and brother say that Zhuohua's ability to do business is really getting better and better.
Lin Zhuohua was slightly surprised, she thought that her mother would be reluctant, but she didn't expect to accept it like this.
"Mother doesn't object?"
"You've grown up and have your own opinions. Watching your growth during this time, my mother believes in your choice. Mrs. Lin touched her daughter's hair, with a bit of love in her eyes: "Besides, your grandfather agreed, and my mother also believed in your grandfather's vision of people." It's just a little sad, and I'm afraid you're going to get married. β
Lin Zhuohua's eyes were slightly red when he heard this, and he said softly: "Even if she gets married in the future, her daughter will often come back to visit her mother, as long as you don't annoy me." β
"Why does my mother annoy you?" Mrs. Lin smiled slightly, and then said, "But it will take two or three years before you can still be by your mother's side." But it's time to buy you a dowry, and if you marry into King Yi's mansion in the future, you will definitely not be able to let your concubine look down on you. β
Lin Zhuohua was a little speechless, she and Li Zeyi were just together now. In the hot summer, it's almost like falling in love, and if it's not suitable, you'll break up.
But looking at her mother's appearance, she didn't say anything, after all, this is no longer a hot summer.
"Mother, don't worry about these things. Now that my daughters have someone she likes, my eldest brother didn't say that he had someone he liked? β
Mrs. Lin sighed when she heard this: "Your brother's temperament, I'm afraid it's hard to find." If any girl takes a fancy to him, and he doesn't dislike it, then I'm going to be incense. β
Lin Zhuohua laughed a little when he heard this: "Where is my brother so bad, it's just that he is a little straightforward." Handsome appearance, straightforward temperament, and family background has nothing to say, there are many ladies in Shangjing who want to marry their brother. β
Mrs. Lin pursed her lips when she heard this, which is true, but she should be humble.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about your brother's marriage. I watched him get close to Miss Qin, the granddaughter of the princess regent, these days, but I don't know if it is what I think. β
Lin Zhuohua suddenly felt that her mother-in-law was really too keen to discover this.
"I see that my brother and Sister Qin are closer than others, but it's not easy to ask too much. If Sister Qin is the wife of the eldest brother, will her mother object? β
Mrs. Lin pondered for a moment when she heard this, and then said, "As long as your eldest brother likes it, I don't have any opinions. Besides, this Miss Qin is also everyone's best girl, so it's appropriate to accompany your eldest brother. I heard that Miss Qin's housekeeper is a good hand, and it can be regarded as complementary to your eldest brother. β
Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, she knows in her heart what kind of character her eldest son has, and it is just right to marry a smart and capable daughter-in-law. When the time comes, she will hand over the middle feed in the house, and just wait to hold her eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter.
She doesn't like a mother-in-law who is in power, so there is no such thing as fighting with her daughter-in-law for power.
Lin Zhuohua will ask, in fact, it can be regarded as touching his mother's tone in advance. She saw that her eldest brother had a play with Sister Qin, but after the two of them liked each other, it would be miserable if her mother didn't agree.
"Okay, let's not talk about your brother, it's you. Although King Yi looks good, you should also pay more attention. If you find something unsuitable for him, break it off as soon as possible. β
Anyway, the two were not married by the emperor, and even if they were separated, it would have no effect on each other.
Lin Zhuohua nodded: "I know my mother." β
Mrs. Lin pulled Lin Zhuohua and said a lot of words, but she was not at ease, and told her to observe Li Zeyi more.
Coming out of Mrs. Lin's house, Lin Zhuohua looked at the dark night sky. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and it seemed that his family knew about his affair with Li Zeyi.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, I went to the hunting ground again.
Lin Zhuohua sat on a chair and chatted with Qin Jiayan and Wen Shunan beside him.
"Do you want to end?"
Feng Shuhui ran over in a riding costume, still holding a bow and arrow in her hand and a quiver on her back.
Lin Zhuohua wasn't going to end up, but Feng Shuhui didn't refuse to invite her, and nodded: "Okay, are you going?" β
Wen Shunan shook her head, she was self-aware, so she should stay here honestly.
Qin Jiayan naturally didn't refuse, and left with them.
The three of them traveled together, because of the matter of Lord Ni Yuan, the three of them naturally came out with guards, all the way to the depths of the forest.
"I was caught by my eldest brother before, otherwise I would have come to you a long time ago." Feng Shuhui pouted, the eldest brother always treats her as a child, but her riding and shooting are not much weaker than him.
Lin Zhuohua had heard of Feng Shuhui's eldest brother, but he never had the opportunity to meet him. Because the eldest brother of the Feng family, like the eldest brother, is in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing all the year round. Speaking of which, the two should also know each other.
"Probably Brother Feng is afraid that you will encounter a beast here."
Feng Shuhui pursed her lips: "Who would be as unlucky as that Ni Yuan County Lord, and I don't know if she did something bad to encounter such a strange thing." β
Qin Jiayan and Lin Zhuohua glanced at each other, didn't this Ni Yuan County Lord just do bad things and wanted to give her a beast fan.
"With the expressions of the two of you, could it be that Lord Ni Yuan gave you a beast powder, but the result was retribution on herself, right?"
Feng Shuhui is not stupid, combined with some of the news she has heard in the past few days, she guessed it at once.
"You're getting smarter." Lin Zhuohua praised without hesitation.
Feng Shuhui raised her chin: "I'm already smart, okay?" It's just that I used to be too lazy to use my brain. β
Looking at Feng Shuhui, who is now alive, Lin Zhuohua knows that she has walked out of the death of that cousin. As for how her cousin died, I'm afraid she will never find out.
Qin Jiayan looked at the two of them and smiled: "Let's go inside again and see who has hunted more prey today." β
Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui naturally had no opinion, clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward.
Along the way, several people hunted the same amount of prey. It's just that the closer you get to the depths, the fewer people there are.
Lin Zhuohua stopped suddenly, her nose moved, and she seemed to smell a little bit of blood.
"Do you smell blood?"
The deeper you go, the more powerful the beast becomes. So they didn't plan to go any further, after all, they were just three little girls.
"Nope."
Feng Shuhui and Qin Jiayan both shook their heads when they heard this, and the prey they caught was all sent back, because they were afraid that too much blood would attract other beasts when the time came.
Lin Zhuohua's five senses are very acute now, and she feels that something must have happened.
Riding the Xuanfeng, she approached the smell of blood.
Feng Shuhui and Qin Jiayan saw her like this, and they also rode horses to follow.
Closer to the depths of the woods, there was a sound of fighting.
The three of them stopped their horses, and their faces became solemn.
"Sister Qin, you go to my eldest brother and bring someone over, don't alarm anyone. Shuhui and I sneaked over to take a look, we will do martial arts, you don't have to worry. β
Qin Jiayan knew that the situation was serious, so she nodded and quietly rode away.
After Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui arranged the horses, they quietly dived towards the sound of the fight.
The two of them have just learned light skills, so they are not very good. However, it is relatively easy for them to climb the tree.
The two of them found a tree to go up, and their vision immediately widened.
When he saw the two sides of the fight, Lin Zhuohua's face changed slightly. Especially seeing Li Zeyi's arm injury, blood stained his sleeves.
As soon as she wanted to go up to help, she was stopped by Feng Shuhui, and her voice sounded in her ears.
"These people look like they're top players, and we've only helped them in the past. It is better to take advantage of the cover of these branches to sneak attack. β
Lin Zhuohua pursed his lips and nodded. Then with a wave of his hand, he called out the cold winter rain hidden in the shadows and asked them to help.
Handong Hanyu and the others had long wanted to go down to help, and with Lin Zhuohua's order, they immediately flew forward.
Li Zeyi was protected by several people in the middle, he covered his bleeding arm, took out the pill that the little girl gave him and took it.
His slender peach blossom eyes narrowed, if it weren't for the sudden discomfort of his body today, he wouldn't have let these people take advantage of it.
"Tianhong, you and Tianchi protect the master to leave, here we stop these people."
Although there was the medicine given by Miss Lin, Suifeng was still a little worried.
"Okay, you have to be careful with the wind, they are very powerful." Tianchi nodded, and after speaking, he protected his master and retreated.
"It's not so easy to leave. Today, the head of King Yi must be left behind, and none of you can escape. β
The black-clothed man at the head sneered, and then a few more people appeared with a wave of his hand. Li Zeyi, who was about to retreat, stopped the three of them and cut off their retreat.
For this opportunity, the master has spent a lot of effort, how can he let people leave so easily.
Li Zeyi frowned slightly, his hand moved slightly, and he wanted to use his internal force, but he was stopped by the red on the side.
"Master, you must not show flaws at this time."
Hearing Crimson's words, Li Zeyi pursed his lips, but he could only give up and put on a weak look.
Because of Lin Zhuohua's help, they quickly found the hiding place of those people. and quickly controlled the people, but I didn't expect there to be such a group of people.
When he was besieged, he had a plan. Pretend to be weak, let their guard down, and then clichΓ©.
It's a pity that these people's mouths are too tight, and nothing comes out. There is no clue who the master behind them is.
He had doubted the crown prince, but he knew that the prince did not have such powerful people under him. If there was such a powerful person, I am afraid that he would have been used against him a long time ago.
Several people surrounded Li Zeyi again with the wind, but the other party's manpower increased, and they were all masters, so they gradually succumbed to the upper hand.
"I want to know what kind of person would spend such a big battle to kill this king."
Li Zeyi looked at the black-clothed man led by him, and asked with a calm face.
The black-clothed leader sneered when he heard this: "At this time, King Yi still wants to trick us, and he really doesn't give up." It's just a pity, I'm afraid I'm going to let you go to hell with regrets. β
The black-clothed man's attacks became more and more ruthless, and his moves were all deadly dangerous. forced a few people with the wind, and retreated one after another.
Seeing that it was about to be unbearable, the addition of several people in the cold winter and cold rain eased a little.
"Why are you here?" Sui Feng looked at the cold winter that blocked the long sword for himself with some surprise.
When he saw them appear, Li Zeyi's face changed slightly. If they are here, then the little girl is nearby.
Originally, he didn't plan to use internal force, but he couldn't allow the slightest possibility of the little girl being injured.
"Quick fix."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he commanded coldly.
Although Tianchi, Tianhong and the others had never seen Lin Zhuohua, they had all heard of the future hostess. Knowing how important she was to her master, he didn't stop it anymore.
Seeing them fighting back, the black-clothed leader who fought showed a sarcastic smile: "Do you think that if you join a few people, you can turn defeat into victory?" How naΓ―ve! β
Suifeng and the others didn't talk nonsense, and they all used their best.
Li Zeyi pulled out the long sword on his waist, and his internal force was filled. The sharp sword stabbed out, and the sword qi broke through the air and knocked down a person.
"King Yi is really good." After the black-clothed leader finished speaking, he instructed the people around him: "King Yi will hand it over to me, and you will hold the others." β
After speaking, the black-clothed leader flew up and fought with Li Zeyi.
Lin Zhuohua sat on the tree and watched the battle below. Because of the cold winter and cold rain and other people's participation, the two sides are up and down.
But looking at Li Zeyi, who was fighting against the black-clothed leader, she was a little worried. It was obvious that the black-clothed leader's kung fu was extremely high, and it could be said that he looked on par with Li Zeyi.
But she knows what Li Zeyi's body is like, although she can use internal force, she can't use all of it, otherwise the poison will not be suppressed.
She pursed her lips, leaned into Feng Jiahui's ear and said a few words, and then handed her two packets of medicinal powder.
"Don't worry, I'll do it. However, you have to be careful, those people are much higher than the two of us. β
Lin Zhuohua nodded: "You should also be careful, anyway, as long as you hold on until Sister Qin brings the rescuers." β
After saying that, she flew down, and the crossbow in her hand quickly shot towards several black-clothed people. At the same time, Feng Shuhui also took up light work and left by detour.
Lin Zhuohua's sudden appearance made everyone stunned, after all, a beautiful little girl suddenly appeared in a fight.
But when he saw the crossbow in her hand shooting at them without hesitation, the black-clad leader immediately gave the order to kill her.
Li Zeyi was relieved to see Lin Zhuohua dodge the attack, come towards his side, and reach him safely.
"Why are you here, it's dangerous here, you go quickly."
Lin Zhuohua shook his head, then took out a bottle and threw it to Sui Feng: "Let everyone take it." β
