Chapter Seventy-Four: A Good Move

Lin Jinwen's carriage arrived in front of Zheng's mansion and found that there were many people gathered at the gate of Zheng's mansion, pointing at it from time to time.

Mo Feng stepped forward to ask first, and after a while, he returned to the carriage with a worried face, and whispered to Lin Jinwen: "Miss, Old Madam Zheng heard that she suddenly died violently on the way to the Yamen, and the body was just sent back, but Zheng Ruyi is gone, and now a group of people are saying that Old Madam Zheng was killed by her, and now she is hiding and dare not see anyone." ”

"Zheng Ruyi is not such a thin-skinned person, if he doesn't appear, eighty percent of it will be an accident." Lin Jinwen understands Zheng Ruyi's temperament, if she is there, she will definitely come out and explain to everyone, so as not to let herself be so passive.

Mo Feng thought for a while and said, "Then the slave maid will inquire first." ”

Lin Jinwen bowed slightly, only listening to the discussion of the person at the door, mostly talking about 'unfilial piety', and did not talk about Gu worms.

The subordinates of the Zheng Mansion are preparing for the funeral in an orderly manner, which shows that if Zheng Ruyi really has an accident, the person who did it must be very secretive. But who? Zhao Kan?

She was thinking about it, and saw a little guy in black with narrow sleeves coming out of the crowd, who seemed to be from King Jing's Mansion, and he was also asking left and right, and he was also looking for Zheng Ruyi, so Zheng Ruyi was not taken away by Zhao Kan?

Mo Feng also found the little guy, quietly lowered his eyes and walked out of the other end of the crowd, only to quickly reach the side of the carriage, and told Fang Cai's situation: "The slave maid inquired, she went out by herself, but she never came back after going out." ”

"Do you know who is looking for her?"

"The next person said that it was a young gray-clothed guy, and he didn't know the details." Mo Feng shook his head.

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she was also a little silent, and the people who looked at Zhao Kan were also disappointed and left, so she had to say: "In this case, let's leave first." ”

Ink Wind Chin.

After Lin Jinwen's carriage circled the city, she did not go back to Xufu directly, but went to the silk Zhuangzi first.

This Miss Zhang is indeed a talent, after Lin Jinwen handed over the shop to her, she had a lot of ideas, all of which were written down in a proper manner, although the words were written crookedly, but they could barely be recognized.

Zhang Xiaofang stood at the table, looking at her master, who had never seen her, and looking at her beautiful face, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this ancient water is really good, and it has raised such a classical and refined beauty.

Lin Jinwen noticed her gaze, lightly put down her so-called 'planning case' in her hand, and smiled lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Xiaofang hurriedly shook her head and looked at her with a smile: "Does the master think it's okay?" ”

Lin Jin's wife, in her previous life, she knew a little about her plans, but it was not comprehensive, and she only knew that she had lost a lot at the beginning. After briefly pointing out a few problems, she said, "If you have faith, you can do it freely, but there is a little ......."

Zhang Xiaofang was already very happy when she heard her previous words, and hurriedly asked, "What else?" ”

"You can't do it in my name, let alone in the name of the Xu family, in other words, in the future, the industry will be done, I don't want anyone to know that it is in my name, you may understand?" Lin Jinwen smiled faintly, she has been targeted now, how can she do it if she doesn't leave a way back for herself.

Zhang Xiaofang blinked, a little hesitant: "If there is no big official to rely on, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do business in the capital." ”

"Naturally, someone will support you." Lin Jin's wife: "The Pingxi Royal Mansion does not participate in the battle between the dynasty and the party, but also has a certain strength, and they are also privately preparing their own forces to save their lives in the future competition, they must need silver." ”

"What does the master mean is that I should go and ask them to cooperate?"

"Lord Yuan has made friends, and it will be the birthday of the king of Pingxi in a few days, isn't this time right? They just need to do what you rely on, and you give them 30 percent of the shares, the best of both worlds. Lin Jinwen smiled lightly and looked at her contemplative appearance, knowing that she was calculating in her heart.

After a while, Zhang Xiaofang looked at her and said seriously: "Master, they have to get thirty percent of the dry shares if they don't come out with anything, will it be too much?" ”

Lin Jinwen shook her head slightly, and also understood that she was young and didn't understand the affairs of the capital after all, so she only said: "Sancheng dry stocks, they protect you to do business safely, but they can't interfere in your business." King Pingxi is a timid and cautious person, afraid and unwilling to intervene, even if there is a problem in the future, he will not betray you, you just say that it is a rich businessman from the southwest, vaguely implying that he has a little relationship with the Xiong family behind his back. "Even though King Pingxi wants to follow the queen, but it is not obvious on his face, it means that they don't want to offend Concubine De, so they revealed that there is a Xiong family behind him, and he will definitely not betray him to avoid getting into trouble.

Zhang Xiaofang also inquired about these forces in the capital, and her eyes lit up immediately, this ancient lady had so many thoughts at such a young age, it was really unusual.

"Also, thirty percent of the shares will be given to the king of Pingxi, and you will take one percent." Lin Jinwen said.

Zhang Xiaofang's mind that was still thinking about a small abacus suddenly brightened up, in this way, it is not a dream for her to make a fortune and reach the peak of life!

"Deal!" She said boldly.

Mo Feng raised her eyebrows slightly, and then she reacted, and hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, but since you can't use the names of the Lin and Xu families, what should you use?" ”

"Ann, Ann of Peace." Lin Jin's wife.

Zhang Xiaofang immediately responded.

When leaving, Lin Jinwen glanced at the satin village full of guests, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she went out and got into the carriage.

After leaving, Mo Feng asked her with some doubts: "Although this Miss Zhang has a lot of ideas, she looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, can she do it?" ”

"She can do it. Even if it doesn't work, Zhu Wucai has trained a group of old shopkeepers and some capable people, but he is just a loss, and he is not in a hurry, let her do it. She is already a person who predicts the future, and she knows that Zhang Xiaofang will definitely be able to do it, so she is not so worried.

The carriage passed through this downtown area, and soon stopped at the mouth of a small alley, Mo Feng stopped at the mouth of the alley as usual, Lin Jinwen found an inconspicuous house, knocked lightly on the door three times, and after a while, a low male voice came from inside: "Who?" ”

"Me." Lin Jinwen didn't know this male voice, but eighty percent of them were trained by the sixth child.

The people inside paused, and after a while, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and as soon as the back door bolt moved, Lin Jinwen saw the sixth child who had not been seen for several days.

The sixth child grew up very quickly, his skin was a lot fairer, and his single-eyelid eyes became more and more focused, and the moment he saw Lin Jinwen, he was full of smiles: "Why did Miss come in person?" ”

"Passing by, let's take a look." Lin Jinwen glanced at the tall man in black behind him, saw his face cold and hard, a pair of sharp eyes swept over him, and the doubts that had been in his heart about the sixth child slowly accumulated.

"Miss, let's come inside first, I've been training people for the past few days, and I just found out the news in the capital, and I haven't had time to report it yet." The sixth man stepped out of the way.

Lin Jinwen glanced at the closed second door, she could feel the murderous aura in this courtyard, and took two steps forward lightly before smiling lightly: "I just happened to come to ask you, do you know who Zheng Ruyi was taken away?" ”

When the sixth child heard this, he was not suspicious, but said: "I only found out that I went out of the city, but I don't know who it is." ”

"Do you know where you're going?"

"I don't know, although that person is not from the capital, he seems to be very familiar with the capital, and he quickly got rid of my people." He said.

Lin Jinwen twisted her eyebrows, thought for a while, and then turned around and walked out of the courtyard again, and said, "In this case, you send someone to look for it, tomorrow is the spring season, I'm worried that something will happen." ”

"Yes." The sixth child hurriedly bowed his head, and after speaking, he looked at Lin Jinwen and turned around and walked outside the house, and paused before saying, "Miss, I don't know how Lin Gongzi is now?" Is there news from the southwest? ”

Lin Jinwen's eyes were slightly deep, and she was silent for a while, before she shook her head helplessly: "Uncle said that he was asking someone to help, but they refused to tell me the news, so I don't know what happened, I don't have anyone available now, I can't go to ......."

"What about His Royal Highness King Ning, didn't he help you find it?" The sixth asked.

Lin Jinwen looked at him with more doubts: "His Royal Highness King Ning was ordered to go to the border pass, but he also sent his subordinates to look for it, I don't know what the situation is." Yesheng, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

Lao Liu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes and smiled: "I was afraid that Miss would be worried about it all the time, so I asked." ”

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she smiled helplessly: "Brother Jiren has his own natural appearance, and I also believe that my uncle will do his best." With that, he walked away.

When she left, the sixth child stood at the door and took a deep look and turned to leave.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Jinwen's face instantly turned cold, and she was helpless in her heart.

Mo Feng sat on the side of the carriage, saw that she was not in the right mood, and said, "What's wrong with Miss?" ”

"I asked people to check the identity of the sixth child before, haven't you found anything yet?" Lin Jinwen asked.

"The slave will go back today and ask Moyue." Mo Feng said, after that, seeing that her face was slightly cold, he said, "But there is a problem with the sixth child?" ”

"I can't say it, what he's doing now is indeed doing what I tell him, but he always feels that something is wrong." Lin Jinwen also hesitated, the sixth child looked at her with no malice, but this person seemed to have changed, at first he just met him at the entrance of the alley, he was still a beggar at that time, and it seemed that he was also a useful person She only began to cultivate, but in less than half a year, his change seemed to be too great.

Lin Jinwen remembered that he had just asked his brother and then asked Huaiyan, and he always felt that there was a problem, and the man behind him not only looked at him with no respect, but with some scrutiny and coldness.

Thinking like this, he went all the way back to Xu's mansion, but when he arrived at the door of Xu's mansion, he heard crying from inside.

She was stunned and hurriedly asked the mother-in-law at the door, "What's the matter?" ”

"Yes, Mademoiselle, when I went out to-day, the horse was frightened, she rolled off the horse, and she is still unconscious." The mother-in-law sighed and shook her head, they were all old people brought by the Xu Mansion, and they also watched Xu Zhaozhao grow up, and when she thought of her suffering, she felt uncomfortable.

After hearing this, Lin Jinwen hurriedly lifted her skirt and trotted to Xu Zhaozhao's yard.

At that time, the maids and women inside and outside the courtyard were wiping their tears and crying quietly, Lin Jinwen trotted all the way to the room, only to see Mrs. Xu sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes and crying in a low voice, Xu Chengqing was standing on the side with a cold face and didn't know what to think.

It was the Lu Imperial Doctor in the palace who came to diagnose the pulse, Xu Boshan directly asked the emperor, and the emperor personally assigned it, but the Lu Imperial Doctor was really a model of arrogance, he didn't cure Zheng Jiaojiao before and called Lin Jinjiao cured, he didn't know how long he was counted down by his colleagues, and now when he saw Lin Jinjiao coming again, he immediately coldly withdrew the hand that took the pulse, and said: "There is no skill to return to the sky, since the Xu family still has a divine doctor, let the divine doctor see it, the old man can't do anything." ”

"You ......" Xu Chengqing's face turned even paler with anger, but Imperial Doctor Lu just snorted softly at Lin Jin'an, and turned his head to let people clean up his medicine box.

Seeing this, Lin Jinwen gritted her teeth slightly, and stepped forward to look at the unconscious Xu Zhaozhao with her anger, her head should have hit a heavy object, and the thick white yarn wrapped around her was stained with blood. She took the pulse at this time, and she was indeed angry.

"How? Miracle Doctor? Imperial Doctor Lu looked at her pulse, his heart was full of anger, and he asked directly provocatively.

Lin Jinwen looked at his age, and didn't want to worry about him, so she only endured her temperament and said: "Although Zhaozhao's pulse is weak, it is not a dead pulse, why does Imperial Doctor Lu bother to say such vicious words as returning to heaven and lacking technique?" ”

"You ......"

"I'm not a miracle doctor, but Imperial Doctor Lu is just a quack doctor, and he can't cure even a small injury, what kind of imperial doctor family is he called? You don't have the benevolence of the doctor, I used to be the first person in the palace to be the first person in the palace today, but now it seems that I really have no eyes, and I didn't see that you are just a mediocre person who is deceived and abducted! The more Lin Jinwen spoke, the more ruthless she became.

Imperial Doctor Lu immediately turned up in anger, and threw the medicine box in his hand to the ground: "Huangkou Xiaoer, if you have some ability, you will identify me as a mediocre talent!" ”

"Didn't Imperial Doctor Lu still call me a divine doctor?" Lin Jinwen became more and more sarcastic.

After hearing this, Imperial Doctor Lu's chest rose and fell more and more, took a few quick breaths, and sat down on the round stool of Fang Cai again, and put his hand on Xu Zhaozhao's pulse: "Although this pulse is not a dead pulse, but the neck bone is damaged, and it hurts the head even more seriously, even if I can hang this life, I can't save this person......"

Lin Jinwen looked at the several medical books he carried with him, all of which were models of medicine at that time, but a person from an orthodox imperial medical family like Imperial Doctor Lu disdained to read the methods of unknown ancient books written by famous folk doctors.

Lin Jinwen immediately said, "Wait a minute. After that, he turned his head and ran towards his yard, and after a while, he took a stack of books and put them in his arms: "I have seen people write that if you have a head injury, as long as you treat it in time, you can heal the bones with mild medicine, then use strong medicine to dispel the congestion, and finally use ordinary medicine to treat the example of recovery, adults don't know?" ”

"I've been practicing medicine for decades and I've never heard ......"

"Just because it doesn't mean it can't." Lin Jinwen looked at him: "Miss Zheng Jiaojiao's illness, didn't the adults even see it in ordinary ways?" ”

This incident is the pillar of shame of Imperial Doctor Lu, hearing this, she almost jumped like thunder, and clenched her book fiercely: "Try it, Huangkou Xiaoer, I want to see how much of your study tour can be played in my hands!" ”

Lin Jinwen's heart finally fell, she could cure all kinds of strange diseases, but Xu Zhaozhao didn't dare to ignore it, especially in this situation, naturally the experienced Imperial Doctor Lu was more reliable.

She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and her voice was not as loud as Fang Cai's, and she only chuckled: "Imperial Doctor Lu is the first imperial doctor of the Jin Dynasty, and this prescription will definitely exert ten percent of the medicinal effect in your hands." ”

Imperial Doctor Lu was stunned for a moment, his mouth shook a few times, but he didn't refute it again, he only turned his head and told the medicine boy to buy medicine, and began to study the medical case in the book again.

Xu Boshan, who was sitting on one side, also seemed to finally exhale, and Mrs. Xu also softened her body and quietly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Xu Chengqing called Lin Jinwen out, and when she arrived outside the courtyard, she finally said: "Thanks to your radical method, the old man of Imperial Doctor Lu is proud and stingy, if you don't come, I'm afraid that I will leave early." ”

"Zhaozhao's situation is really dangerous." Lin Jinwen could understand Imperial Doctor Lu's thoughts, and only asked, "Why did Zhaozhao have an accident, but did he have someone investigate?" ”

As soon as Xu Chengqing thought of this, he had a cold face: "I don't know yet." This morning, Zhao Zhao had to buy me some good pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but when he rode to the market, he somehow suddenly went crazy and threw her down, but Zhao Zhao's horse was personally picked by me, the most docile, and close to Zhao Zhao, he would never do such a thing, someone must have done it. ”

"Could it be someone from the house?" Lin Jinwen asked, Xu Zhaozhao's horse was specially taken care of, except for the people from the Xu Mansion, she couldn't think of anyone else who could do it.

"I'm so suspicious, but I haven't moved yet, that person will soon show his feet, if he finds ......" Xu Chengqing gritted his teeth, if he found it, he would not let it go easily!

Lin Jinwen wondered if there was still a person from Concubine De in this mansion, and when the Xu family entered Beijing, Concubine De arranged for someone to be in the Xu Mansion, and later found out that the Xu family looked at it very strictly, but all the people who had problems were sent away, and it was impossible for anyone to arrange someone to come in.

She thought about it, but after all, it was speculation, so she didn't tell him, but said: "Look for someone to take care of Zhaozhao, tomorrow is the spring season, cousin don't affect the mood." ”

Xu Chengqing exhaled deeply, looking into the distance with resolute eyes: "Tomorrow, I will definitely get the best ranking!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Jinwen's heart was also a little more relieved, she was most worried that Xu Chengqing would affect her mood because of this, so she would fall for someone else's plan.

Back in the small courtyard, Lin Jinwen saw Mo Xue who was at the door early, and knew that she had something to say, so she said when she entered: "I want to bathe, Mo Feng and Mo Xue will wait, and the others will retreat." ”

The subordinates all responded and retreated.

When she arrived at the room and closed the door, Mo Xue stepped forward and said, "Miss, who did the slave find out who killed Miss Xu?" ”

"Yes?"

"Mo'er, who is good with the stable, was also served in our yard, but then she was transferred to the laundry room by my uncle for some reason. The slave maid originally wanted to tell her uncle and wife about this directly, but when she followed her, she found that she had privately asked someone to bring a letter to the palace. "Moxue Road.

"Have you ever intercepted the letter?" Mo Feng asked.

Mo Xue bowed, took out a piece of letter paper from her sleeve, and handed it to Lin Jinwen with both hands: "In order not to startle the snake, the slave maid copied this copy, and the original copy has been sent away." ”

Lin Jinwen nodded, opened the letter and saw the first column of words, and then realized that something was wrong, because the first sentence at the beginning was 'Jingde Concubine Niangniang'.

Before she finished reading it, she put down the letter and wrinkled her eyebrows slightly: "This letter was deliberately shown to you, you go to find Mo'er now, eighty percent is dead." ”

Mo Xue frowned slightly, Mo Feng immediately went out to check, and when he came back after a while, his face was solemn: "Dead, someone found hanging himself in the room." ”

"You're being taken advantage of by her." Lin Jinwen looked at the letter again and sighed slightly: "That person knows that you will be staring at the situation in the mansion, so he deliberately did it for you, otherwise you can detect that she colluded with someone and passed on the message, why can't you notice that she received an order to attack Zhaozhao?"

"And the letter...... Not for Concubine De? Mo Xue asked.

Mo Feng also shook his head: "Concubine De is not stupid, how can it be possible for someone to write her name directly on the secret letter, someone must have deliberately made the Xu family an enemy of Concubine De." ”

Lin Jinwen also nodded, looked at the letter in her hand again, and carefully folded it again.

When Mo Xue heard this, she said in a deep voice: "Then what should I do, the person is also dead, I'm afraid that the clue is broken." ”

Lin Jinwen gave her the folded letter, but smiled: "Since it is for Concubine De, then you have to find a way to send it to Concubine De, we can't find out who it is, Concubine De will always think of finding out who is trying to harm her." ”

Mo Xue's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Lin Jinwen with admiration: "Miss is smart, slave maid will do it." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen bowed slightly: "Don't let the people in the mansion find out that you sent this letter, there must be other eyes and ears in this mansion." ”

"Yes."

Mo Xue immediately went down to do it, and the letter was quickly sent to Concubine De.

Concubine De was already angry that Concubine Jia was promoted to a virtuous concubine under the influence of the queen, but she never thought that she would receive such a letter.

"Nonsense, when did this concubine ever harm the daughter of the Xu family." She hammered the table angrily before looking at the palace maid below: "Who let the letter be sent?" ”

"Someone put it at the head of the slave's bed, and the slave didn't know it." The palace maid fell to her knees and trembled.

Concubine De thought about it, it is true, now that Concubine Jia is only in charge of the Sixth Palace, even her people are not allowed to go out of the palace to procure, how can she let people outside the palace come in to send her news?

She snorted sarcastically: "I only thought that this concubine was timid and cowardly, but I never thought that she was still a corner, and if she wanted to climb to the head of this concubine, it also depends on how much ability she has!" ”

Before she finished speaking, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is ......"

When Concubine De heard this, her face turned even greener.

After a while, I saw a dignified woman with a virtuous concubine blue wide-sleeved gold thread embroidered peony, and the posture of a was elegant and calm, dignified and generous. She walked over, and the golden hairpin on her head was about to dazzle Concubine De's eyes.

When Concubine De saw her, she didn't get up, she only sneered: "Sister Jia Concubine is really lucky, I can't stop it, yesterday it was a daylily that no one cared about, and today I will support the flowers in the vase, but after all, the wild flowers are wild flowers, and it is just a fresh picture in the vase, and it can't be put on the table." ”

Concubine Xian's face was gentle and gentle, not annoyed at all, and smiled gently: "My sister has seen Sister Defei, sister Wanfu Jin'an." ”

"If you want me to be blessed with Jin'an, you should come less, otherwise don't say these false words, this concubine has a heart disease and can't listen to this hypocritical word." Concubine De was mercilessly sarcastic.

Concubine Xian still smiled gently, and said: "My sister came today for three things, and after the three things are done, I will leave immediately, and I will never disturb my sister's purity." ”

When Concubine De heard this, her hand clenched slightly, and she said: "The first thing, the Queen Mother ordered her sister to investigate the piranha, and now my sister has found out that the Southwest Xiong family just raised this fish, and someone saw with their own eyes that the Xiong family sent a big box to my sister a few days ago. ”

"That's the seasonal fruit that my father sent to me." Concubine De said immediately.

"But no one opened the verification, did they?"

"The people in my palace ......"

Concubine Xian smiled: "Sister's own people in the palace, how dare you say that my sister is not." ”

Concubine De was dumbfounded, and listened to her continue: "The second thing, my sister heard what the palace maid next to the queen said, and I saw with my own eyes that day, it was the palace maid next to my sister who pushed Miss Lin into the lake, but Miss Lin swam to the shore in time......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Concubine De's face became darker and darker.

Concubine Xian looked at her gently: "Sister don't worry, my sister will find out these things, and she will find Miss Lin to come to the Queen Mother to return to her, I think she won't lie." ”

Concubine De slapped the table and stood up, walked directly to her, and stared at her fiercely: "Don't think I don't know what you want to do?" Concubine Xian, do you really think that you can climb on top of me as an assistant to the Sixth Palace? I'll tell you, you're too tender! ”

Concubine Xian was still not annoyed, only looked at her with a little pity, and said: "The third thing, the people in your palace just came with the news, saying that you arranged for someone to enter the Xu Mansion, and caused the daughter of the Xu family to fall unconscious. Sister, Lord Xu is now the emperor's most important minister, and if you do this, I'm afraid you're going to offend Long Wei. ”

"It's not my ...... at all," Concubine De was halfway through her speech, and instantly understood: "You did it right, right?" You've been dormant for so many years, making all of us almost forget about dealing with you, and you've set so many traps for me, you ......"

Before Concubine De finished speaking, the palace maid behind Concubine Xian stepped forward to separate her and said, "Why should Niangniang speak so harshly to my master. ”

Concubine De saw that a palace maid didn't take herself seriously, so she slapped it down, and with a snap, everyone inside and outside Yonghe Palace heard it.

Concubine Xian was still not shocked or angry, and only looked at her with a light smile: "It seems that my sister doesn't want to admit it, but it doesn't matter, my sister will tell the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother has always been fair and will definitely give her sister justice." After that, he glanced at the palace maid who was rapidly swollen with half of her face, and turned her head out of Yonghe Palace.

When she arrived outside the palace, Concubine Xian glanced at the palace maid and said with a smile; "When you get to the Queen Mother, do you know what to say?"

"Concubine De wanted to beat her mother, but the slave maid stepped forward to stop her, which was why Concubine De beat her like this." The palace maid lowered her eyes.

Concubine Xian, only then did she step away.

At this time, Concubine De was already mad, someone dared to come to her territory and shout at her, how could she bear it, and immediately said: "Go, immediately summon Lin Jinwen and Mrs. Xu!" ”

"Yes." The palace maid hurriedly went out, but came back after a while: "Niangniang, the virtuous concubine Niangniang has ordered that the slaves and maids are not allowed to leave Yonghe Palace for half a step, otherwise they will be killed." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she gritted her silver teeth: "I see that she dares to stop me!" With that, he went out in person.

Gui Zhi, who had been following behind, watched her being provoked like this by her words, and was sarcastic in her heart. If she breaks out and sprinkles now, even if the queen mother and the emperor know that she didn't do it, if she still wants to take the opportunity to suppress the Xiong family, she can't please it.

Although she saw through it, she didn't say a word, only lowered her eyes and followed.

Lin Jinwen was summoned, and it was already afternoon. She sent away the messenger in the palace, only then did she turn around and look at the peanuts in the room and the one thousand taels of silver tickets he brought, and smiled lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, but Miss ......" Peanut looked at her with some hesitation: "I have a brother who is sick, and the sixth brother has been busy and has no time to see us, can you give me ten cents, and I will buy a pair of medicine ......"

"The sixth child doesn't have time to see you?" Lin Jinwen paused slightly, the sixth said that the intelligence agency he wanted to establish at that time, the main personnel were these beggars in the capital, how could he not have time to see them?

"Well, he seems to be busy with important things, and we can't bother him." Peanut gritted his teeth slightly.

Lin Jinwen's face sank slightly, and she turned her head and asked someone to take two taels of silver to him: "Go to the doctor first, and buy some food for the rest." Where do you live now? ”

"Still living in a former ruined temple. The sixth brother said, it's good to be a cover, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the sixth brother bought us a quilt again, but it's not cold, it's just a damp when it rains......" Peanut said, his tone weakened, and he lowered his head as if he had said the wrong thing.

Lin Jinwen knew that it was not a way to go on like this for a long time, and relying on the sixth child did not seem to be a wise decision.

She looked at Mo Feng and Mo Xue, they were all familiar faces now, but Mo Yue, who had just been approached by Mo Feng to talk back, didn't show up much.

"Mo Yue, you don't have to go out tonight, wait for me to come back, and I'll explain something to you."

Mo Yue roughly guessed it, and nodded respectfully: "The slave understands." ”

Lin Jinwen changed her clothes and walked out of the door of Xu's mansion.

Before he got into the carriage of Xufu, he saw Wang Huiyuan, who had been wandering at the gate of Xufu, with heavy bags under his eyes, his eyelids drooping downward, a little gloomy.

When he saw Lin Jinwen, he immediately stepped forward and asked loudly, "Did you kill Zeng Xuehai?" ”

Lin Jinwen looked at him like this, and chuckled: "Did Wang Gongzi misunderstand something, I have no grievances with Zeng Gongzi, how can I harm him?" ”

"You are here to avenge Ru Yan!"

"Revenge?" Lin Jinwen looked at him with a smile: "Does Wang Gongzi also think that is hatred?" I thought you thought it was a favor, but now that you are suffering, you can't raise your head to be a man in the future, and you have to face you all day long. ”

Wang Huiyuan showed a somewhat pained look on his face, but he was quickly covered by anger: "I warn you, don't worry about Ru Yan's affairs anymore, and don't go to Wang's house again." You Lin family are all ruthless and wicked, and I don't allow you to hurt Ru Yan again. ”

"Did I hurt him, or did you?" Lin Jinwen glanced coldly at Wang Huiyuan, who had not yet repented, and walked directly towards the carriage, Wang Huiyuan wanted to stop again, but was stopped by the guards of the Xu Mansion.

He gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Jin's carriage until the carriage was gone, then he snorted and pushed the guards who were blocking him away, turned his head and left.

Lin Jinwen leaned in the carriage, listening to the sound of the carriage pressing on the bluestone road, her heart was mixed, and after a while, the carriage stopped, and she gathered all her emotions and got out of the carriage.

I got out of the carriage and saw Zhao Kan talking at the gate of the palace, and when I got closer, I realized that it was him who invited Concubine De, but he never received a response and was stopped, suspecting that someone did it on purpose.

She stepped forward to salute, and Zhao Kan stopped her voice, put away the anger on her face, turned her head to look at her, and said in a deep voice: "You want to enter the palace?" ”

"Yes, summoned by the Queen Mother." After Lin Jinwen finished speaking, she also knew that Concubine De must have been calculated, but the person who was calculating Concubine De behind her seemed to have calculated herself and the Xu family and played a good chess hand.

When Zhao Kan heard this, his eyes were a little complicated, and he looked at her and said, "What do you know?" ”

The person who gave Lin Jinwen the message didn't say anything, but Lin Jinwen also guessed that she really wanted to get rid of Concubine De by someone else, but that person shouldn't have touched Zhaozhao, and almost took Zhaozhao's life.

She looked at the guards at the gate of the palace, shook her head lightly, and said, "There hasn't been anything in the palace in the past few days, maybe it's because I was almost eaten by a piranha before." Today, Zhaozhao was framed and fell off the horse again, perhaps to take advantage of this to offer condolences. The hour was not early, and the courtiers did not stay long. Lin Jinwen said, bowed shallowly, and turned her head and went inside.

Zhao Kan is not stupid, those things in the palace and the affairs of the Xu family today may be counted on Concubine De's head.

He thought about it, immediately left the palace gate, got into the carriage and ordered: "Immediately remove all the Gu worms in the house, not a single one will be left!" ”

"But it cost a lot of money......

"It's just money, and if it's gone, it's gone." When the million taels of silver in the firearms vault were burned, he could only sigh with admiration, but this time when all the Gu worms were withdrawn, he was really injured. But the current situation is like this, he has to save his life first!

Lin Jinwen entered the palace and walked straight to the Queen Mother's palace, and after a while, she saw a palace maid coming up.

"It's Miss Lin." The palace maid smiled gently.

Lin Jinwen saw her face and nodded: "I don't know if my aunt is ......"

"I'm by the side of Concubine Xian, Niangniang is worried that the young lady is afraid, so I specially asked the slave maid to come and wait earlier, and tell you not to be afraid for a while, you can answer directly if the Queen Mother asks." The palace maid led the way and said with a smile.

Lin Jin's wife responded, but she was on guard in her heart, she knew that Jia Concubine was promoted to a virtuous concubine, could she have done it this time?

Soon entered the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, there were many palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the Cining Palace, she walked inside, only to find that not only the Queen Mother was there, but even the emperor was there. Concubine Xian was standing beside the Queen Mother and gently pinching her shoulders, and when she saw Lin Jinwen coming, she stopped.

Lin Jinwen glanced at Concubine De, who was standing on the side with slightly red eyes, lowered her eyes and stepped forward to salute one by one, and then listened to the emperor: "How is the situation of Miss Xu?" ”

"There is still one breath left, Imperial Doctor Lu said that there is no way to return to heaven, and now he can only try his best to save it." Lin Jinwen told the truth about the situation.

After hearing this, the emperor's face sank.

The Queen Mother looked at him before she said to Lin Jinwen: "I asked you to come today to ask you, and you have to tell the truth." ”

"The courtiers dare not lie." Lin Jinwen became more and more respectful, although the queen mother has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha without asking about palace affairs, her eyes are sharp, as if she can see people through at a glance.

Concubine Xian also said gently: "Miss Lin's concubine knows, she is an honest child, and the concubine is now asking you, was you accidentally falling down by the bridge that day, or did someone push you?" ”

Concubine De immediately looked at Lin Jinwen nervously, Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes, and said: "At that time, the courtiers only cared about looking at the river, and only felt that there was a force behind them, but I was too panicked at the time, and I don't remember whether someone pushed me, or I fell down with dizziness." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she immediately snorted lightly: "Concubine Ben's people have never wanted to harm Miss Lin, and Sister Xian is disappointed when she hears it now?" ”

The emperor glanced at her arrogantly and did not speak.

Concubine Xian was not in a hurry, but only sent Yun Jiang and those maids in to reply again.

Yun Jiang saw Concubine Xian's first glance, his eyes were not friendly, but he quickly lowered his eyelids, and told him how Concubine De deliberately obstructed that day, and deliberately made Gui Shao follow Lin Jinwen, and the other two palace maids even swore that they saw that it was Gui Shao who pushed Lin Jinwen down.

Concubine De wanted to defend herself, but she didn't dare to say why she had to ask Gui Shao to send someone away, so she could only say: "Now there is no proof of death, you can say whatever you want." ”

Concubine Xian looked at her and only said: "Sister, this matter may be said to be that my sister wronged you, but ......what about this thing" After speaking, she took out a letter from her sleeve, Lin Jinwen only glanced at it, and knew that it was the letter she sent by herself. She clearly gave it to Concubine De, and now it has changed hands to her, this virtuous concubine is really a good means.

Concubine De's face turned pale, and she argued forcefully: "It's not this concubine!" ”

"But Mrs. Xu found out that her sister had placed eyeliner in Xu's mansion before, and this time this letter was not found out by my sister, but sent to the concubine by the maid in your palace." After that, a palace maid from outside walked in, glanced at Concubine De a little coldly, and knelt on the ground with her neck on her neck and said to the Queen Mother and the Emperor: "The slave maid also happened to hear Niangniang telling someone how to murder Miss Xu, and then find a way to blame Concubine Niangniang." The slave and maid are straight, and they can't bear to let the mother continue to take detours, so they came to expose it, and asked the emperor to be gracious and let my mother go, but the mother was just confused for a while......"

Before she finished speaking, Concubine De was so angry that she couldn't sit still, and stepped forward and kicked her hard: ", when did I say such a thing, what kind of benefit did you get from Concubine Xian to wronged me!" ”

Concubine Xian immediately knelt on the ground: "The concubine didn't dare to wronged her sister, and the concubine was able to get the grace of the queen mother to assist the sixth palace, where can she have such a ability." ”

Indeed, if it weren't for Lin Jinwen's slightest understanding of her, she would definitely not have done it, after all, the previous concubine was despised by anyone, who would believe that she had such a ability?

After reading the letter, the emperor immediately slapped the table, and scolded the crazy Concubine De in a cold voice: "Stop! As the head of the four concubines, are you so violent, do you still speak foul language, and have you eaten all the etiquette and religion of the year in your stomach? ”

Concubine De was blinded by the scolding, but Lin Jinwen heard a trace of abnormality, the emperor only said that she misbehaved, but did not accuse her of harming the Xu family, is it not the emperor and does not believe it?

The Queen Mother immediately said: "Concubine De is really immoral, today Concubine Xian is just going to pass a word, so she made a gesture to beat Concubine Xian, and even beat Concubine Xian's personal palace maid to the point that her nose is blue and her face is swollen." Now that he is raising piranhas in the palace, intending to murder Miss Lin and the daughter of the Xu family, the evidence is also conclusive, and he is really not worthy of being this concubine. ”

The emperor gritted his teeth slightly and did not speak.

Concubine De immediately knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor with her neck and said, "Your Majesty, you believe in the concubines, these are really not done by the concubines." ”

Concubine Xian glanced at the anti-water palace maid in Concubine De's palace, and the palace maid immediately got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said: "Niangniang, don't be obsessed, the slave maid is for your good, even if the third prince raises Gu worms in the mansion, the slave maid has never said it......"

Halfway through her words, she stopped suddenly, but the emperor burst out with murderous intent, looked at Concubine De, who was still arguing, and said directly: "Concubine De is immoral, she really has lost trust!" From now on, take away the title of Concubine De, demote to a nobleman, give the title of 'respect', and you will also learn how to be respectful and polite! ”

Concubine De immediately sat down on the ground, a nobleman, not even as good as the concubine back then.

She cried and shook her head, grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes and begged, but was kicked away by the emperor, and then looked at the palace maid who was against the water: "The waiter is disloyal, he can't stay, come here, drag it down and kill him!" ”

The Queen Mother looked at the angry emperor and didn't say anything.

Concubine Xian also lowered her eyes respectfully and did not make a sound, but the emperor looked at Lin Jinwen on the ground, did not say a word, and walked away.

Lin Jinwen could feel the slight murderous aura and chill when he looked at him just now, and his heart sank slightly, but now the emperor has already gone to investigate the Gu worms in Zhao Kan's mansion, what about Zheng Ruyi and the man in gray? Is it also in the hands of Concubine Xian?

She looked up at Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian only threw a faint smile, as if she had expected such an outcome.
