Chapter Eighty-Nine: An Unexpected Enemy
Time flies, like rushing water, peach blossoms fall, fall into the dirt and finally turn into mud.
The spring light is rich, the snow-white apricot blossoms bloom like snow, and the flower rain falls from time to time, attracting colorful butterflies and bees to fly and chase.
Lin Qingzhi sat under an old apricot blossom tree and stroked the piano quietly, a gust of wind blew, and the apricot blossoms fell on her snow-white skirt, dazzling like a fairy in flowers.
Wisps of piano sound poured out from her fingertips, looking at the guqin under her fingers, Lin Qingzhi thought of the Jiuxiao ring pendant that Xiao Mufeng gave her, I don't know if it is still in King Ning's mansion now? But it never saw its owner again.
The sound of the piano is in the ears, and the melody is mournful and natural, which makes people listen to a blank feeling of falling flowers and flowing water, which evokes infinite sorrowful feelings.
After the song, Lin Qingzhi was distracted, only to see Wu Yu trotting over quickly, with eagerness and anxiety on his face, and saw Lin Qingzhi shouting anxiously: "Miss, it's not good, the eldest son is injured, you go over and take a look." ”
As soon as Lin Qingzhi heard Wu Yu's words, her heart sank, and she hurriedly stood up and was about to walk to the yard where she lived, but when she stood up suddenly, she only felt a burst of darkness in front of her, and almost fell to the ground, now she has a body of almost eight months, and it is naturally inconvenient to move, and since the month is getting bigger and bigger, there is often a feeling of vertigo, once a few days before, it seems that there will be a feeling of vertigo every day in the recent month, fortunately, it does not last long, as long as it takes a while, it will get better.
Wu Yu ran over to help Lin Qingzhi to walk towards the courtyard, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he smelled a burst of blood, and he couldn't hold back the feeling of nausea in his heart, and walked quickly to the house, only to see Lin Qingji's body soaked in blood, and the corners of his black robe kept dripping bright red liquid.
Lin Qingzhi's eyes were hot, and she hurriedly walked to Lin Qingji's side and choked up: "Big brother, why are you so seriously injured?" ”
While instructing Wu Zhi to quickly bring the medicine box and water, and opened Lin Qingji's clothes to help him clean his wounds, Lin Qingji saw Lin Qingzhi's worried appearance, and forced the pain and smiled: "Ah Zhi, don't worry, it's just some skin trauma, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
After Lin Qingzhi burned the silver needle on the lamp and candle to blacken, she helped Lin Qingji stitch up the wound little by little, and said worriedly: "Big brother, bear with it, it will hurt a little." ”
Lin Qingji endured the pain but didn't let out a moan, the beads of sweat on his forehead dripped down, and even Wu Yu frowned when he saw it, and his eyebrows were full of distress.
It turned out to be Lin Qingji's first Jingzhou man who forged a letter to frame Lin Chengde before the investigation, and went to Jingzhou to inquire everywhere, only to know that the person known as "the first pen in the world" was called Lu Ming, who had been found dead in his own home half a year ago, but since he died, his son seemed to have suddenly developed, and when he arrived in Luoyang, repaired the house, bought land, and suddenly became a lot bigger.
Lin Qingzhi frowned and listened to the description of the eldest brother, frowned: "So, after this Lu Ming died, his son got a lot of money, and I also sent someone to look for this Lu Ming, who is known as the first in the world, but I have not found any trace of him, it turned out to be dead, it seems that he was killed, is it possible that this money is for his son's hush money?" ”
Lin Qingji's voice was a little weak, and he said with a solemn face: "This son of Lu Ming is addicted to gambling, and I also got some clues from his mouth, that is, before his Lao Tzu died, someone went to look for him, and saw that he was dressed as a eunuch in the palace, and only heard the eunuch vaguely mention the name of Mrs. Xun." ”
When Lin Qingzhi heard Lin Qingji's words, she was silent, and only after a while did she say, "Is Lu Ming's son's words reliable?" This can't be hastily determined for the time being, after all, it is also possible that the queen splashed dirty water on Mrs. Xun in order to divert her attention. ”
Lin Qingji's face turned pale, and he shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's really her, if it's the queen, then now that the queen and the crown prince are dead, how can anyone come to kill Lu Ming's son, and why did you know that I went to investigate this old case?" ”
The corners of Lin Qingzhi's mouth pouted with a cold chill, and her words were as cold as ice: "From this point of view, my father's death is not only related to the queen and the prince, but also that Mrs. Xun. ”
Lin Qingji was so angry with hatred that his blood was surging, his pale face was faintly red, and his eyes were as cold as iron: "But the Lin family has never had a grudge against Mrs. Xun, why do you even have to step on her?" ”
Lin Qingzhi's long eyelashes moved, her cold eyes looked at the bright sunshine outside, and said lightly: "This is to ask this Mrs. Xun herself." ”
After being silent for a long time, Lin Qingzhi sighed, and said softly: "Big brother, you stay here to recuperate first, if there is anything, let the people of Yirenju do it, I am worried that you will interfere too much, in case your identity is exposed, it will be very troublesome, and the rest will be left to me." ”
Lin Qingji looked at Lin Qingzhi's cold face and bulging belly, and said worriedly: "But you can't work too hard, this child will be born in more than a month, you also have to pay attention to your body, since we already know who the enemy is, it will be much easier to do next, after all, we are in the dark, and the enemy is in the light." ”
Lin Qingzhi smiled gloomily, slowed down her tone, and said in a deep voice: "I hope yes, big brother, what do you think is the biggest expectation of a favorite concubine of the harem, no, it should be said that the prince's mother?" ”
"Naturally, he wants his son to live his life safely and carefree, except for this ...... That is, to be able to be reused by the emperor, and even ascend to the throne and become a ...... Ah Zhi, do you mean that Mrs. Xun wants her son Xiao Muheng to compete for favor? Lin Qingji seemed to suddenly think of the reason, and his eyes widened in shock.
"Thinking like this, he has a reason to deal with our Lin family, because my father has always supported the second prince." Lin Qingzhi lowered her head, a look of shame welling up on her face.
"No wonder, now that the crown prince is dead, only Xiao Mufeng and Xiao Mulin can compete with Xiao Muheng for the throne, but Mu Lin's biological mother is just a slave, and she can't be trusted and favored by the emperor, so the biggest threat is Xiao Mufeng, which means that their next step is to deal with him....." Lin Qingji said while thinking.
Lin Qingji pondered for a moment and said, "But Ah Zhi, if you deal with Xiao Muheng's mother and son, it is equivalent to helping Xiao Mufeng, and if he treats you like that, you are still ......."
The smile on Lin Qingzhi's face gradually faded, there was sadness and sadness between her eyebrows, and she said in a firm tone: "Big brother, don't worry, I know what to do." ”
Bright weather, suddenly turned cloudy, less than a quarter of an hour, a spring rain will be dripping down, Lin Qingzhi looked at the courtyard of all kinds of flowers, the baptism of heavy rain petals fell, after the heavy rain, these flowers will bloom more colorful, just like a person's life, will always experience wind and rain, but after the wind and rain, is a gorgeous rainbow.
