Chapter Ninety-Eight: Catch It All in One Place, Including Two Thousand Diamonds
Lin Jinwen turned around to look at Princess Xuan, who was so distressed that she wiped her tears, and said, "The princess suspects that I have medicine on me?" ”
"I know, you know how to heal, and you have been dealing with medicinal herbs all year round, and it is inevitable that there will be a smell of medicine on your body, I don't blame you." Princess Xuan hugged the little county king and choked up, saying this, as if she didn't dare to trouble Lin Jinwen at all, but she was sure that she was going to murder the little county king.
As soon as she finished speaking, another person came out of the royal garden from behind the rockery, wearing a splendid palace skirt with a blue base, and her temperament was good, but she was older, and she was in a hurry when she walked.
When they got closer, everyone saluted and called out to Concubine Sheng.
Lin Jinwen then understood how the black cat could be thrown out from behind the rockery, it turned out that there was a concubine to cooperate.
Just thinking about it, I heard Concubine Li reprimand Princess Xuan: "You mother, why don't you know to be selfish and protect the child first?" The little prince is the emperor's first grandson, if you are injured by him, even I can't explain to the emperor! ”
"The mother forgives her sins, it is really ...... The concubine did not dare to cause trouble for His Highness. Princess Xuan hurriedly curtsied, and when she said this, the corners of her eyes kept drifting to Lin Jinwen on one side.
Concubine Li glanced at Lin Jinwen, and said angrily to Princess Xuan: "King Xuan is also an upright prince, don't you want to harm his child, but also hurt him?" Do you have to kill each other for that position? ”
Her words were already obviously aimed at King Ning and Lin Jinwen, saying fratricidal, what a terrifying word, the people on the side obediently closed their mouths and did not interject, for fear that one would not be regarded as a party that had submitted to that side.
Lin Jinwen looked at the mother and daughter who were acting happily, and when they stopped talking, they looked at the crying child, and said: "If it is hot today, the little county king is wearing a lot, if it is really allergic, Concubine Li Niangniang and Princess Xuan blame it here, why don't you send the little county king to see the imperial doctor first, otherwise the cool breeze will pass later, and the little county king will be sick." ”
She meant what she said, no matter how much she didn't like them, the child was innocent after all, crying with her mouth open like this was really distressing, but she didn't want her to say this, Concubine Li seemed to have caught her handle, and said aggressively: "Lord Chunhe, I really can't imagine that you, a beautiful lady, would curse people here." I'm also a concubine anyway, aren't you Princess Ning anymore, so you don't take me seriously? ”
Lin Jinwen was a little inexplicable, when did she stop taking her seriously?
"Mother's ......"
"I don't want to listen to what you say perfunctory words, what do you have, come at me, tell King Ning that you only deal with me, don't hurt my royal children and grandchildren, anyway, I won't live long with a broken life." Concubine Li seemed to be angry, and her face was full of anger.
Lin Jinwen was dumbfounded.
Yu Guang swept the people who whispered around but no one was willing to stand up and speak, and his heart was indifferent.
The atmosphere was at a stalemate, and after Mo Feng went to return to the queen before, he had already invited Imperial Doctor Lu to come.
Imperial Doctor Lu saw Lin Jinwen alone in the middle from a distance, and when she got closer, she saw the bloody wound on her neck, which stained the collar with blood.
He was about to step forward, when he heard Concubine Li say: "Imperial Doctor Lu came just in time, take a look at the little county king, the little county king was poisoned." ”
Imperial Doctor Lu was taken aback, who would dare to blatantly poison the little county king favored by the emperor and the queen mother?
Without waiting for him to make a decision, the nurse of the little county king pulled the Lu imperial doctor over, he couldn't do it, so he put down the medicine box and looked at it for the little county king, and after reading it, he said to the nurse: "How do you take care of the child, on such a hot day, I cried again, and my body must be sweating, and you don't know how to loosen your clothes, if the little county king is sick, it will be broken." ”
The nurse didn't expect Imperial Doctor Lu to be angry at herself, looking at Concubine Li and the princess with unkind eyes, she knelt on the ground with a white face: "The slave is confused." ”
Concubine Li glanced at her coldly, and then said to Imperial Doctor Lu: "The little prince is allergic to the smell of medicine, after Imperial Doctor Lu has seen it, he will step back if he is fine." ”
Hearing this, Imperial Doctor Lu opened his mouth and swallowed the words that reached his throat, after walking in the palace for so many years, his biggest ability is not to say what he shouldn't say, and not to participate in things that shouldn't be involved, even if he has never seen anyone who is allergic to the smell of medicine so far.
He took three steps back, and was about to see Lin Jin's wife, when he saw Concubine Li said coldly: "You can't hear my orders?" Still not quitting? ”
"But the lord of Chunhe ......"
"That's it." Lin Jinwen didn't want to embarrass Imperial Doctor Lu, so she only smiled: "It's just a small injury, I'll take the plaster and wipe it myself later." Concubine Li made it clear that she wanted to find fault, everything she did was wrong, so she didn't bother to tell her more, they wanted to harm herself, and she was reluctant to be ruthless to the little county king, the emperor just believed it, and he wouldn't do anything to her.
When Imperial Doctor Lu heard this, he felt guilty in his heart, he was a person who was half-buried in the loess, and his courage was not as good as this little girl.
After thinking about it, after saying goodbye, he didn't go back to the imperial hospital directly, but went directly to the Heart Cultivation Palace, this time King Ning and the emperor must have been there.
When he left, Xue Wenxin took a few steps forward and said to Concubine Li: "Sister, even if the county lord is at fault, it is an unintentional mistake, and now she is also injured, let her go back first." ”
"You are good-tempered, I also heard that she is going to drown the cat that the emperor gave you, without the cat, the emperor will blame it, you can be careful yourself." After Concubine Li finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Jinwen again, and then beckoned Princess Xuan to turn around and leave.
When she turned around and walked away, Xue Wenxin only took a few steps forward and walked up to Lin Jin's wife, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I understand your temperament, this cat must not be hurt by you." ”
Lin Jinwen looked at her and still couldn't help crying, and then looked at the cat who was scared and whimpered in her arms, and said: "Noble, the hour is not early, I will go back and change my clothes first, otherwise the queen mother will be punished for her birthday." ”
Xue Wenxin saw that she didn't answer her words, her eyes flashed, and she nodded with a reluctant smile.
When she left, she slowly turned cold, and threw the cat in her hand to the palace maid on the side: "What is the congratulatory gift that King Xuan and his wife gave to the Queen Mother?" ”
"The slave maid inquired, it is a stone sculpture of a lake with pine cranes stretching." The palace maid whispered to the side.
"Lake stone carvings? I've heard that this thing is very fragile. Xue Wenxin looked at her lightly: "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
The palace maid hugged the cat and smiled: "Don't worry, the slave understands." ”
Xue Wenxin heard this, and then turned around and left.
Lin Jinwen carefully covered the wound on her neck all the way back to the side hall, and when she arrived in the room, she asked Mo Feng to bring water to clean the wound, and crushed the small thistle that she picked from the flower garden and applied it to the wound.
Mo Feng looked distressed and said, "Miss, it's better for the slave to secretly go to the Imperial Doctor Lu to ask for some medicine......
"No need, Concubine Li and Princess Xuan are not smart people, they must let people squat everywhere and wait for us to find faults, if something goes wrong, although it is not fatal, it is troublesome." After Lin Jinwen finished speaking, she took off the crushed thistle after a while, and the bleeding had stopped, and the medicine stopped bleeding quickly.
After she cleaned it silently, she changed her clothes again, and took off the bulky headdress by the way, only to feel that her neck was no longer sore, and her heart was not annoyed.
After doing this, the palace maid had already come outside, saying that the palace banquet was about to start, so Lin Jinwen went to the main hall with Mo Feng to wait, and when the queen mother came out, she obediently followed behind and went out.
The Queen Mother didn't notice her, today is her birthday, and the whole person is full of joy.
Out of the palace gate, Lin Jinwen followed on the side of her shoulder, and found that Huijue had sprinkled talisman water in front of her, and after another prayer, she also retreated, not far from her.
When Lin Jinwen saw him, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and now Huijue seems to know how to trick the Queen Mother.
Huijue was still nervous when she saw Lin Jinwen, the Queen Mother asked him to see if there was demonic energy on her, as long as he bit her to death and said yes, then Lin Jinwen would definitely be killed, but after killing her, would King Ning and the people behind her let him go?
Huijue was hesitant, especially when she looked at her and smiled meaninglessly.
Lin Jinwen was actually just a very ordinary smile, and after a while, I saw that he deliberately walked one step behind and walked to his side, and whispered to her the instructions of the Queen Mother.
Lin Jinwen had already guessed it, but she didn't expect Huijue to take the initiative to tell herself, and when she heard the words, she only said: "Thinking about it like this, the master should only say how to return to the Queen Mother?" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jing has too many evil spirits around him, which messes his mind, and it has nothing to do with Miss Lin." Huijue said immediately.
Lin Jinwen saw that he was interested, and she didn't say much.
It didn't take long for the banquet to be held.
The four corners of the spacious palace are filled with large pots of ice to cool down, and the first one in front of the palace also has a copper stove for cooling, which is also filled with ice.
The queen mother came over, and all the people who came to the banquet got up and saluted, and the emperor, who arrived one step in advance, got up and came down to greet him in person, but it was the queen who stood on one side indifferently and said nothing, not as enthusiastic as Concubine De.
The Queen Mother took everything in her eyes, and when she walked to the first seat, she smiled and said, "No need to be polite, sit down." ”
"Yes." Everyone should get down, and Lin Jinwen was also led to the third row on the left, and the one sitting opposite was Princess Xuan's family, but Princess Xuan's face was not very good-looking, and King Xuan on one side was even more pale.
Lin Jin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and she heard someone announce that King Ning had arrived.
Lin Jinwen turned his head to look, he had changed into a crimson robe today, with a four-clawed python embroidered on the placket, and he seemed to have his own air conditioning when he walked, and his bearing was remarkable.
At the same time, looking at Zhao Huaiyan, there was also Xue Wenxin, who was sitting in the position of the emperor's head. She had heard people say that King Ning was cold and arrogant, handsome and extraordinary, but she had never looked at him carefully, and thought it was just a rumor, but now that she saw it, she knew what kind of god-like handsomeness people described. His handsomeness does not have the slightest femininity, but is very masculine, if the knife-like facial features are cold, it seems that the phoenix eyes sweep away, it is the momentum of thousands of troops to meet each other, and all the princes here are different, even, and the emperor is not the same......
She looked straight at Zhao Huaiyan, but saw that his eyes softened, and she threw herself at Lin Jinwen, who was sitting below.
So how can a lonely person like an ordinary lady? No, His Royal Highness King Ning should be high up and worshiped and admired by everyone.
Her hands were slowly clenched, and there was already murderous intent in her eyes, and she didn't come back to her senses until Gonggong An called her three times, but when she looked at the emperor, his gaze had become cold.
She was startled and hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Okay, the Queen Mother heard that you are preparing a dance, so let's go dance now." The Emperor's tone was less gentle than before, as if he was instructing a dancing girl.
Xue Wenxin's eyes were moist, and he was busy preparing for it.
Lin Jinwen glanced at the emperor lightly, seeing that he was ruthless, and could even foresee Xue Wenxin's fate for a while.
Xue Wenxin didn't dare to relax any longer, and soon went down to change his clothes.
Zhao Huaiyan sat down not far from Lin Jinwen, everyone present knew how much he doted on this future princess, seeing this, he only scolded a few words, and then stopped watching more.
The second princess was very weak-hearted, and quietly glanced at Lin Jinwen throughout the whole process, and when she saw her, she hurriedly lowered her head.
Lin Jinwen raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't care about her anymore.
The song and dance began soon, Xue Wenxin also changed her clothes and came over, wearing a light blue curved skirt, imitating the style of the previous dynasty, which set off her very well, which showed that she stepped lightly on the drum and rotated in, just like a blue butterfly, which aroused everyone's interest.
The ink wind behind Lin Jinwen slowly twisted a leaf, moving carefully, so that no one could see it.
"Does the wound still hurt?"
Lin Jinwen was looking at it vigorously, when she saw Zhao Huaiyan coming over sideways and asked her in a low voice.
Lin Jinwen knew that someone had told him about it, and shook her head with a smile: "Minor injury." ”
"Go back and apply it." Zhao Huaiyan took out a bottle of jade dew ointment, and looked at the wound she deliberately covered with a high collar, and she could still smell blood when she got close, presumably the wound was extremely deep.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the other side with an indifferent face, Princess Xuan was looking at him, and the moment her eyes met, her hands trembled in fright, and the hot tea spilled out, and she gasped in pain.
King Xuan saw it on the side, and was slightly dissatisfied: "How is it rough." ”
"Lord Wang......" Princess Xuan quietly glanced in the direction of Zhao Huaiyan, and saw that he no longer looked at herself, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "The concubine is worried that His Royal Highness King Ning will hold a grudge. ”
"What about hate? In the end, this king is his own brother. After King Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at her and said, "You are a few years older than the county lord of Chunhe, why can't you even scare her?" ”
"Concubine ......"
"Okay, take care of the little county king, and the king will deal with the future affairs." He is now a prince with real power who has received the emperor's mission, and he is the only one who has a son under his knees, and his father's body is getting worse day by day, if other princes and princes can't give birth to princes, then the prince's position will be his own.
Thinking about it like this, he was a little more confident, just as Xue Wenxin was spinning a few times, more than a dozen butterflies flew outside, and when the butterflies flew around her, everyone's complexion changed.
Someone at the bottom couldn't help but say: "The person who can summon butterflies is just a concubine, and the people are still talking about it, and now this noble person not only looks similar to Concubine Yin, but also can attract butterflies, could it be the reincarnation of Concubine Yin?" ”
When Xue Wenxin heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked. The emperor has always been in love with Concubine Yin, and he feels guilty, if he really makes him think that he is the reincarnation of Concubine Yin, he will definitely pamper himself even more......
Before she finished thinking about it, the butterflies that were still flying around her suddenly dispersed.
Her heart was in turmoil, her feet were broken, and the whole person fell to one side, King Xuan saw this, and immediately jumped out to support the person, and the action was extremely ambiguous.
This was something Lin Jinwen didn't expect, she hurriedly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and sure enough, his face was already dark.
Regardless of the fact that Concubine Yin is a taboo in his heart, no one is allowed to mention it, and what he is most afraid of is that someone keeps reminding him of the mistakes he made back then, and now Xue Wenxin thinks that the emperor wants to see Concubine Yin again, and now he is so ambiguous with his son......
King Xuan didn't expect that, he just wanted to please his father's favorite concubine, and he might be useful in the future: "Noble heart, how are you?" If it is hurt, my father will be distressed. ”
Xue Wenxin saw that he was holding himself and bounced away like an electric shock, and then he bowed forward and said, "Please forgive the Queen Mother and the emperor." ”
"Forgiveness? What are you guilty of? The Emperor's tone was cold.
Xue Wenxin's heart tightened slightly, and he simply knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, it's all because the concubines didn't practice diligently, so they disturbed the interest of the Queen Mother." ”
Seeing this, King Xuan wanted to give her charcoal in the snow, and also followed: "Father, it seems that the son of the nobleman fell into an accident, and she must have practiced hard......"
"Min'er, that's enough." Concubine Li looked at her still stupid son and hurriedly called.
Concubine De didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and said with a smile: "King Xuan is so filial, seeing that the noble person was injured, he was so impatient to intercede for her, I don't know, I thought that the noble person was your concubine." ”
When King Xuan heard this, he knew that Concubine De had bad intentions, and he instantly understood that the last thing his father liked was that the concubine had a relationship with other men, even if it was his own son.
He immediately surrendered his hand: "Father, son, ......"
"Alright. A little thing, is it worth it for you to intercede one by one? The emperor indifferently swept the circle of people who spoke, Xue Wenxin only felt cold, she couldn't understand why the butterfly she had summoned with the fragrance of flowers suddenly flew away, and she didn't understand what King Xuan suddenly offered to be courteous.
She raised her head with tears in her eyes, but this seemed even more hateful in the eyes of the emperor, she was not a concubine with grace and purity in her bones, she was just a substitute, a slut who was an Israelite servant and tried in vain to seduce his son.
"Go down." The emperor suppressed his anger and said coldly.
Xue Wenxin was unwilling to be ruined after preparing for so long, and asked for mercy: "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't mean it, have you forgotten, when the concubine sang you a little song the day before yesterday, you still praised the concubine for being like the concubine back then......"
"Get down!"
The emperor finally couldn't help but burst out in anger, looking at her hypocritical face, the more he remembered what he had done wrong back then!
When everyone saw him angry like this, they were instantly silenced, and Grandpa An personally stepped forward and whispered, "Nobleman, you can go down." ”
"Demoted to a palace maid, rush to the Huanyi room." The emperor said in a deep voice.
Xue Wenxin was like being drunk, and he couldn't speak in place.
Seeing this, the corners of Concubine Li's mouth hooked up a hint of a smile, and she said How could the current little woman really charm the emperor, in the end, it was these old men who could get grace.
Soon, the stunned Xue Wenxin was dragged away.
Concubine De secretly glanced at the queen above, and when she saw that she didn't say a word, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the princes will give the queen mother a birthday celebration next, and the concubine will take out the concubine's congratulatory gift first." After that, clapping his hands, a jade rough stone the size of a human head was immediately brought in from outside, and a piece of jade carved into a crane with wings ready to fly, the jade quality is even more translucent, it is the best of the best.
"I have a heart." The Queen Mother only spoke at this moment and said with a smile.
Concubine De hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "This is the concubine's brother who transported it from the southwest, and I prepared it early, just to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." ”
The Queen Mother glanced at her and nodded with a smile: "Your brother is also a heart-abiding." ”
Concubine De got good, only happy to return to the original seat and sit down, not long after, the congratulatory gifts were sent, but some rare jewelry or auspicious screens and the like, not long after, King Xuan's congratulatory gifts also came, more than a dozen people with wooden carts to push in, covered with red silk.
Only then did King Xuan step forward and salute diligently, saying: "My grandson congratulates my grandmother on her birthday, and I wish my grandmother a virtuous Kunlun and a blessed future; Haiyan River is clear, longevity and Tianqi! ”
"It's a good life and Tianqi, but you gave birth to a little great-grandson for the mourning family is the biggest gift." The Queen Mother treated him particularly well.
When the words fell, King Xuan also happily took off the red silk, and Concubine Li was also happy to look at it, but her face turned white at the moment she saw it, this lake stone was originally stacked into a 'longevity' word, but a small half was missing, where is this blessing, it is clearly a curse.
"Your Majesty, this is an accident...... Concubine Li hurriedly got up, the Queen Mother has always believed this, and her face is not very good-looking.
The emperor only felt tired, a good birthday banquet, why did so many things happen.
The queen mother didn't lose her temper in the face of the little county king, and the emperor endured it, but then everyone felt that this banquet was difficult, and it was expected to be a banquet in the evening, and the queen mother said that she was tired and left, and the banquet was dispersed.
After the banquet dispersed, the emperor immediately called King Xuan and Concubine Li to reprimand.
Lin Jinwen saw everyone get up, and she also got up, and was about to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, when she saw Concubine De coming over, looked at her and said, "These things are really exquisitely designed." ”
"The courtiers don't know what the mother means." Lin Jinwen replied lightly.
"Don't know?" Concubine De chuckled: "Even if Concubine Ben doesn't say it, you know it in your heart, but you have to think clearly, you are just an ordinary person, trying to stir up the wind and rain in the palace, and it depends on whether you have this ability." Concubine De seems to have decided that Xue Wenxin was unlucky today, and King Xuan's accident was all under Lin Jin's wife. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Lin Jinwen was dumbfounded, just thinking that Gonggong Mo in the Queen Mother's palace also came, and when she saw her, she smiled and said: "County Lord, the Queen Mother said that if you go back today, you don't have to go to her place to ask for peace." ”
Lin Jinwen nodded, just don't go.
When Gonggong Mo left, he deliberately glanced at King Ning, who was silently waiting outside the hall, and made a polite salute to Lin Jin's wife before retreating.
Lin Jinwen was able to come out at this time, but the matter of chicken feathers in the palace made her a little depressed.
Zhao Huaiyan saw her come out, turned around and walked out, Lin Jinwen silently followed to the side, and when she walked all the way to the road, Zhao Huaiyan suddenly asked, "Don't like the palace?" ”
Lin Jinwen paused slightly, raised her head and looked ahead, the sunset was just right, falling on the vermilion wall, casting shadows on the ground, and occasionally a small bird fluttered its wings and stopped on the green tile, like a painting, very beautiful.
"Does the prince like it?" With the majestic smell of summer blowing in the wind, she asked rhetorically.
"I don't like it." Zhao Huaiyan is very simple, who would like a cage, even if it is gorgeous.
Lin Jin's mind moved slightly, and she asked him tentatively: "But what if the prince is in the future...... Do you have to stay in the palace? ”
"Hmm." Zhao Huaiyan did not deny it, but his footsteps stopped slightly.
Mo Feng immediately took a few steps back, only following from a distance.
Zhao Huaiyan turned to look at Lin Jinwen, with a little apology in his eyes: "The world is the world, if it is handed over to me, it is a responsibility." Originally, Zhao Qian could be the person who took responsibility, but his mental skills were no longer correct. ”
Although Lin Jinwen was disappointed in her heart, she still showed a big smile at him: "Although it is bitter, I will reluctantly accompany the prince." ”
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her smile, and the corners of his mouth slowly arced a little, before he turned around and continued to walk forward, with a relaxed pace.
He has big steps, and he will stop and wait for her after walking a few steps, Lin Jinwen watched him stop and go all the way, sighed in her heart, but also accepted it, if it really comes to that day, as long as he doesn't say give up, she will never give up!
The two walked like this, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.
In addition to Lin Jincheng, there was also Wang Ruyan waiting at the gate of the palace.
Wang Ruyan was wearing a long red dress, cyan = silk comb behind her, and a few red and white silk flowers, under the sunset, she was gentle and quiet.
Seeing this, Lin Jinwen stepped forward with a smile and said, "Ru Yan, you are here too." ”
"It's Jincheng who said that he wants to pick you up together." Wang Ruyan's cheeks were crimson.
"Family, of course, come together." Zhao Huaiyan stood behind Lin Jincheng, glanced at Lin Jincheng, and said, "Did the Lin Mansion prepare dinner tonight?" ”
"Yes, if the prince doesn't dislike it, come along." Lin Jincheng understood his thoughts.
"Hmm." Zhao Huaiyan nodded, as if he regarded himself as a member of this family.
Several people talked and laughed and got into the carriage, while Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jincheng rode their horses on both sides and went to the Lin Mansion together.
When they were far away, a carriage slowly drove out around the corner.
Zhao Tian looked at the departing person thoughtfully, he had never seen such a quiet and peaceful look on the face of the eldest emperor brother since he was a child, this was the first time.
"Are you ready?" He asked the people around him.
"Ready!" Wang Huiyuan clenched his fists tightly, why did he want to be separated from Zisu Yin and Yang, but they could love me and me? Lin Jincheng, Lin Jincheng, are they worthy!
Zhao Tian looked at the viciousness on his face, and the corners of his mouth were raised. Brother Emperor, I don't know if this time, you still have the ability to turn the clouds and rain as before, I'm really looking forward to it.
Lin House.
Lin Luzhi has returned, a lot darker, a lot thinner, but his eyes have become clearer.
After the meal, I went to discuss the big wedding with Zhao Huaiyan and Lin Jincheng, and when the time came, the marriage and the marriage were arranged on the same day, and the Lin Mansion was going to be very lively.
Lin Jinwen and Wang Ruyan walked in the back garden, stepping on the cobblestone path, winding in the middle of the flower garden, the sun set, replaced by the moon, and the small courtyard illuminated was very cool.
"Is your eldest brother still like that?" Lin Jinwen saw that she was emotionally stable, so she asked.
mentioned Wang Huiyuan, Wang Ruyan finally sighed: "I was too impulsive at the beginning. ”
Lin Jinwen chuckled: "How can I blame you, but Yan'er, the thoughts in your heart must be firm, and what you want must not be let go casually, understand?" Because brother, he's trying hard to hold on to you. ”
Wang Ruyan was moved when she heard this, stopped to look at her, and said with a smile: "Jinwen, thank you for accepting me." ”
Lin Jinwen looked at the tears in her eyes and said, "Because you are worth it." ”
Before Wang Ruyan could be moved, Ah Bao trotted over with a lantern and said with a smile: "Miss, someone from the Wang family has come to pick up Miss Wang." ”
"Okay." Lin Jinwen nodded, and then stepped forward to take Wang Ruyan's hand and smiled: "I'll send you out first." ”
Wang Ruyan responded with a smile, feeling that she liked the Lin family very much, and when she thought that she could live like this in the future, she couldn't help but jump with joy.
After sending Wang Ruyan away, Lin Jinwen was able to return to Luoxia Courtyard, although she was emotional, but more happy.
Mo Feng came in from outside and said, "Miss, Mo Xue is back, and Mo Yue is also outside to ask to see you." ”
"Let them in." Lin Jinwen said busily.
After the words fell, Mo Xue Moyue had already walked in and saluted Lin Jin's rules and regulations.
Lin Jinwen looked at Mo Xue and saw that she had tanned a lot, but her expression was not sad, so she said, "Cai'er, are they okay?" ”
"The slave and maid went in time, but the Yan family colluded with the local county officials, and the slave and maid worked around for a long time before they were able to come back. Miss Cai'er also said that she wanted to come back to serve. Mo Xue smiled.
"We'll talk about that later." At the very least, we have to wait until these things are taken care of.
After speaking, he looked at Mo Yue and said, "You came so late, but you are in a hurry?" ”
Mo Yue bowed: "Miss, do you remember what I mentioned before, Lin Duan is going back to Beijing?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen is also strange, Lin Duan has long said that he will come back with the old patriarch, but there has been no movement so far.
Mo Yue said: "The slave maid found out, they have been staying in Yuzhou, this time I heard that the master has returned home, and he has also set off for Beijing, and he will arrive tomorrow." ”
"They did it in time." Lin Jinwen thought for a while before saying, "Have you inquired about what you want to do?" ”
"No, but he met with Tao Mou."
"In that case, let's dispose of it together." Lin Jinwen knocked her head with a headache, originally thinking that the wedding was approaching and she didn't plan to get any more blood, but it seemed that she had to do it now.
After thinking about it, she said: "Since I don't know the news, let's strike first." Do you still remember the time when Helian Jing killed the former prefect of Yuzhou? ”
At that time, Mo Feng and the others had not been sent yet, but they had heard about it.
"Miss means ......"
"Planting. Give them back their usual tricks. Lin Jinwen said that she said her thoughts.
When things were arranged, the sky had begun to turn slightly white, so Lin Jinwen simply washed up and fell asleep on the bed, and woke up again, it was already bright and bright.
After Lin Jincheng went out on duty, Lin Jinwen came to find Lin Luzhi in person.
Lin Luzhi was reading a book in the study, and when he saw her coming, he was a little cramped and a little embarrassed, so he only smiled and said, "Do you have something to tell your father?" ”
"My daughter is not filial, please punish my father." After Lin Jinwen finished speaking, she directly presented the rattan whip used by the Lin family's family law.
Lin Luzhi was slightly stunned, and looked at her puzzled: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Jinwen said: "My daughter has cultivated people in private, and my father must know about it, this time these people found out about something, if my daughter did it, it would be unfilial, but for the sake of my father and brother, my daughter had to do it." ”
"What's the matter?" Lin Luzhi suddenly had a bad premonition.
Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes and only handed over the rattan whip: "Daddy should beat me first, because it's too late, no matter how Daddy stops me, unless he beats me to death, I won't stop." ”
"What the hell is going on? Sister-in-law, tell your father quickly, you are a weak woman, in case you ......"
"Daddy, don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Jinwen looked at him with worry in her eyes and said firmly.
When the words fell, the housekeeper outside had already come, and said softly outside: "Master, miss, it's the eldest master who has returned home." ”
Lin Luzhi looked at him in astonishment: "What did you say?" "Didn't Lin Duan disappear since the death of a pair of children?
The housekeeper repeated: "It's the eldest master who has returned home, and he is still with the old patriarch of the Lin family." ”
Lin Jinwen slowly put away the rattan whip in her hand, exhaled slowly, looked back at the housekeeper and said, "When they come in, immediately close all the doors of the Lin Mansion." ”
The housekeeper paused, went to see Lin Luzhi, and saw Lin Jin's cold face and said in a deep voice: "I order you as the county lord of Chunhe!" ”
When the old housekeeper heard this, he saw that Lin Luzhi did not object, so he hurriedly responded.
Lin Luzhi still didn't understand what she was going to do: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?" ”
"Daddy, if I tell you that my eldest uncle has always thought that my eldest sister was killed by me, and has always regarded me as a thorn in the flesh, would you believe me?" Lin Jinwen turned around and asked him.
Lin Luzhi never thought it would be like this: "Sister-in-law......"
"Daddy, the reason why the people in the big house and the second room died, except for the reasons that I saw on the surface, had something to do with my daughter in private, but my daughter can assure you that if they didn't do it first, I wouldn't do it." After speaking, seeing the heartache in his eyes was unbearable, knowing that he didn't want to believe it, he only smiled lightly: "My daughter is going to run errands, if my father wants to punish him, I will punish him when my daughter comes back." "With that, just step away.
Lin Duan didn't know that all the doors had been closed at this time, he came this time for Lin Luzhi, Lin Luzhi's character of that fake good person would never change for the rest of his life, this time he wanted him to kill his own children with his own hands!
Sitting down in the front hall, Yin Owl glanced at the people under him, and said coldly: "What about Lin Luzhi?" ”
"I'll be here in a moment." The little guy hurriedly presented the tea, Lin Duan glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "Get out of here, tell him to come to see me immediately!" ”
The little girl was startled, and hurriedly went down trembling, and when she went out of the door, she saw Lin Jinwen coming on.
When the little girl saw her, he saluted in a panic before he said; "Miss, the eldest master has a big temper now, why don't you go in later?"
"It's okay, you all stand down, don't come here without my orders." After Lin Jin's simple order, she slowly stepped into the flower hall, and at a glance she caught a glimpse of Lin Duan, who was sitting in the first seat, and the calculating old patriarch who followed on the side, and smiled lightly: "Why should the eldest uncle be angry?" Isn't it me what you want to see the most? ”
Lin Duan looked at her, but when he didn't see Lin Luzhi, he sneered coldly: "Why are you just you, Lin Luzhi?" Don't you dare to come out in hiding? ”
"Why don't you dare to come out? I just don't want to see you. Lin Jinwen said to the old patriarch on the side: "Patriarch, how is the clan study, but there is not enough silver?" I'll give you some more ......."
"No need, come here this time, I'm here to take away all your Zhuangzi shops." The old patriarch looked like he should be, but he inquired, and Lin Jinwen's current shops and Zhuangzi are running very well.
Lin Jinwen looked at him with a natural attitude, but laughed: "I don't know what kind of reason the patriarch wants?" ”
"Reason? Do you murder siblings? You are such a disloyal and unrighteous person, and you are unfilial......"
"Ink Wind, Palm Mouth." Lin Jinwen didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said lightly.
Before the old patriarch could react, Mo Feng had already stepped forward and slapped him twice.
Seeing this, Lin Duan's face sank, and he slapped the table suddenly: "Lin Jinwen, you dare to beat the patriarch, what kind of system do you become?" ”
"Patriarch Lin is so rude to the county lord, what kind of system has he become?" Lin Jinwen glanced at Lin Duan coldly, not timid at all. Did he think that it was reasonable for him to have a loud voice, and today she would completely cut off their thoughts!
The old patriarch reacted and pushed the ink wind hard, before he raised his finger and pointed at Lin Jin's wife and cursed with his twisted facial features: "What kind of county lord are you, you are the princess of Ning and a member of my clan, if you dare to do it with me, I can sink you in the pond with the clan law!" ”
"Ink Wind ......"
"Yes!" Mo Feng responded, stepped forward and slapped him twice, and then pulled up the thin old patriarch and threw it on the ground, before he said indifferently: "Dare to sink the pond of the Huigongist woman, the slave maid wants to see whose pond is so big." ”
"Princess Duanhui...... Righteous daughter? "The old patriarch obviously doesn't know this yet.
Lin Duan only looked at her sarcastically: "Princess Duanhui is not in the capital at all, you can say whatever you want." ”
Lin Jin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and she looked at the old patriarch who was kneeling on the ground by Mo Feng, and then slowly walked to the side of the first seat and sat down, and said, "Uncle, Ming people don't say dark words, you have reached this step of the field, it is better to say it clearly if you have something to say." ”
"Say it clearly, Lin Jinwen, I now hold the evidence that you killed Lin Shisu! Although Teng'er and Xiyu were not found, I know that you killed them as well, right? Lin Duan questioned her, thinking that after saying this, she would at least not be as calm as she is now, but who knew that Lin Jinwen looked at him with a smile: "Yes, but what about the evidence?" Where are you going to sue me? "Lin Jinwen is a little rampant, she has rampant capital, but these people have never thought about it. They only see themselves as stupid and timid little girls, as bargaining chips to use, or pawns that can be discarded at any time to kill, and they just don't want to face up to their abilities.
Lin Duan saw that she actually admitted it generously, and after a while, he laughed out loud and shouted outward: "Lin Luzhi, come and see, this is the good daughter you taught, she is a murderer, she stabs her relatives, and she has done such evil things that are not tolerated by heaven!" ”
Lin Luzhi was standing outside, not letting Lin Duan see it, he didn't hear Jin Yu's answer, but he already had the answer in his heart, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, and he couldn't say a word.
Lin Duan turned his head to look at Lin Jinwen and sneered: "Lin Jinwen, do you think that with King Ning protecting you, you will be fine?" Let me tell you, I have entered the evidence and made people write a thousand copies, and now it has been distributed to every corner of the capital, and soon, the whole capital will know about the evil things you have done, I see if King Ning dares to marry you, I see if you still have the face to live in this world......"
"Why not!" When Lin Jinwen heard the last sentence, her eyes suddenly became astringent, and she suddenly slapped the case, staring at Lin Duan with cold eyes: "It's not me who did the wrong thing, it's you, why do I have no face to live in this world!" Let me tell you Lin Duan, I, Lin Jinwen, not only want to live in this world, but also live better than any of you! Do you think that after so many years, I don't know that you are doing that kind of disobedience behind your back, do you think that the adultery of the eldest aunt and others was really exposed by others? Do you think I never knew about your secret obedience to Jia Concubine and the Nine Emperor Princes? ”
Lin Duan saw that she was full of anger, and suddenly took a step back.
Lin Jinwen took a step forward and stared at him: "The death of my mother, you are the executioner, if I hadn't had a big life, I would have died more than a hundred times." For so many years, my father has a good heart, protects you everywhere, and treats you well everywhere, but you are just a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised. Lin Duan, let me tell you, if it weren't for the others who died too early, I would definitely make them regret coming to this world! "The betrayal of relatives in her previous life, all the exploitation and ruthlessness, she remembers them deeply, and she will never be soft-hearted to them.
When the old patriarch heard these words, his mind was dizzy, seeing that Lin Duan didn't speak, he only quietly pulled out the dagger in his hand, and stabbed Lin Jinwen in the back while everyone was not paying attention, but before he could stab him, Mo Feng kicked him to the ground again, and stepped on his wrist fiercely: "If you dare to murder the Queen Mother Qin Cichun and the county lord, you should be beheaded!" ”
The old patriarch struggled for a moment, and shouted with a white face: "It is a fact that she killed people, I am the patriarch, and I have the right to execute her!" Not only am I going to execute her, I'm going to remove her from the family tree of the Lin Mansion!" ”
"Then remove the name! Even with me, I was removed from the Lin Mansion, and from today onwards, your Lin family and my Lin Luzhi will have nothing to do with each other. ”
A cold male voice came from outside, Lin Jinwen's eyes were slightly wet, looking at her father who came in steps, didn't he blame himself?
Lin Luzhi only hates himself for being confused now, he has been sincere for so many years, but in exchange for his wife and daughter being humiliated.
Lin Duan saw him coming, and immediately said: "Third brother, it is a fact that Lin Jinwen killed people, you also heard it, for the reputation of the Lin Mansion......"
Lin Luzhi's old eyes were wet, but he looked at him and said coldly: "The daughter of my Lin family has never done anything to ruin your reputation, as for whether your family has it or not, I don't know, and you are a concubine, and you have no right to argue with me again." ”
Lin Duan's heart was shocked, how could Lin Luzhi change? Even if he died, he couldn't talk to himself like this, and he said, "Third brother, don't be blinded......"
"Yes, I was confused, I have been deceived for decades, I killed Huiniang, and now I will never allow anyone to harm my daughter again." Lin Luzhi looked at the old patriarch who was still clutching the dagger on the ground, and gritted his teeth slightly: "If you dare to hurt Jin's wife again, I will not spare you." ”
"You fool, you bastard!" The old patriarch was so angry that he couldn't do it: "Hundreds of years of ancestors, you dare to say that you don't want it?" Without a family, you are a ghost without roots, and you can't be buried in the ancestral grave of the Lin family until you die, and you won't have descendants to burn incense for you......"
Lin Luzhi didn't speak, Lin Jinwen thought that he was still old-fashioned after all, after all, where can he say that his cognition has changed for decades?
Just thinking about it, Lin Luzhi said to Mo Feng: "Except for the old lady's spirit card, all the others are put away and sent to the Lin family, and those children in the clan will no longer receive help or care about it in the future, withdraw all the things and manpower sent by the Lin family to the clan, and then invite a respected gentleman to come, and my Lin family will recreate the family tree." ”
When Mo Feng heard this, he knew that Lin Luzhi was iron-hearted, so he was secretly happy for Lin Jinwen and was busy doing it.
As soon as she left, Lin Duan knew that it was impossible to rely on Lin Luzhi to kill these children, but he had been preparing for so long, how could he prepare this one method.
After thinking about it, he simply sat down to the side and laughed: "It's rare, I can't imagine that Lin Luzhi, who has always been the most important courtesy, would actually do something like betraying his ancestors and forgetting his ancestors. ”
Lin Luzhi's face was slightly pale and he didn't speak.
Seeing this, Lin Duancai laughed again: "It's okay, since you don't want to admit it, then I will only take Lin Jincheng's life." He went to the southwest this time, and I personally went to collect evidence, and he used the excuse that he was ambushed and his whereabouts were unknown, but in fact he went to the border and colluded with the old department of the Lin family......"
"Nonsense!" Lin Luzhi couldn't help but said angrily, it was clearly himself who went to the border pass, and Jincheng was injured and returned to the capital.
Lin Duan saw that he was furious, and laughed with satisfaction: "But I have evidence in my hand, how about it?" His secret letter of collaborating with the enemy and treason, as well as the testimony of the old anti-water department......"
Lin Jinwen knew that he must have forged these incriminating evidence during this time, so she only said coldly: "Uncle is really a good skill, I wonder if you have spread the evidence to the whole capital in advance this time?" ”
Lin Duan naturally didn't, such a big crime, if it didn't succeed in the end, it would be slander, and it would also be sentenced to beheading, but he was not in a hurry, and looked at Lin Jinwen with a smile: "Lord Chunhe, since you are half a royal person, you should know that collaborating with the enemy and treason is from the Zhulian Nine Clans." ”
When the old patriarch heard the word 'Zhulian', he hurriedly said, "Lin Duan, what are you talking about?" ”
Lin Duan ignored him and looked at Lin Luzhi: "I'll give you two paths." First, kill Lin Jinwen in front of me, and from then on, the old accounts will be written off, and I will not pursue it again, and there will be no such cruel and bloody things as Zhu Lian. ”
"Jincheng is not treasonous, the emperor will find out." Lin Lu's death gritted his teeth.
Lin Duan smiled: "Even if the emperor finds out, so what?" If Lin Jincheng is not found to have collaborated with the enemy and treason, then I will confess that I am rebelling, and beg the emperor to join the emperor, you are all dead, and I will exchange my life for your three lives...... Oh, maybe Lin Jinwen will already marry King Ning by then, and Lin Jincheng will already marry Miss Wang, and there will be more people who will die by then. Lin Duan looked at Lin Luzhi deeply and laughed: "How is it?" Isn't it worth exchanging Lin Jin's life for so many people's lives? ”
"You're crazy......"
"Crazy indeed! But you forced me! Lin Duan's face was full of gloom and roared at him. After yelling, he looked at Lin Jinwen: "Do you think I will not do anything when I come back this time?" I came with the determination to die, this time I won't pull you to hell, I will haunt you when I die and turn into a ghost! ”
Lin Luzhi's clenched fists began to tremble, but Lin Duan was right, he would indeed do this, and once he did, he would implicate the innocent Ning Wangfu and the Wang family.
Lin Duan secretly glanced at the little guy at the door, and asked him to hurry out to inform the people waiting outside the mansion that they could report to the official. When the people from the government came, they saw that Lin Luzhi killed Lin Jincheng, and Lin Luzhi was also destroyed, and it was even easier to destroy Lin Jincheng.
Thinking of this, his smile grew wider.
Lin Jinwen looked at her hesitant father, sighed slightly in her heart, but only sat down steadily, and said, "Uncle has such a careful plan, why didn't he think that if you enter this Lin Mansion, you won't be able to get out?" ”
"Can't get out?" Lin Duan sneered, he knew that Lin Jinwen would kill people, how could he not have someone outside the mansion? The dozens of assassins hired would not be easily caught by her.
He just finished sneering, and the little guy who had just quietly gone out turned back, and whispered to him with a nervous face: "All the doors of the Lin Mansion are closed." ”
"You didn't call anyone outside?" Lin Duan hurriedly said, the Nine Emperor Princes said, those assassins have high kung fu, and they can be heard shouting.
The little guy nodded at the difficulty: "Shouting, no movement." ”
"Naturally, there will be no movement, those assassins, the guards of King Ning's Mansion must have all been arrested and sent to prison for disturbing the security of the capital." Lin Jinwen drank the tea that she had just brewed before she said.
Lin Duan's face immediately sank, and he shouted in disbelief: "Come on, come on!" ”
Mo Yue led people to guard outside the Lin Mansion at this time, and when she heard the sound of shouting coming from inside, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she continued to cheer up and guard.
Lin Luzhi looked at his indifferent daughter, and his mood was complicated for a while.
Lin Duan shouted for a long time before Lin Jinwen looked at him and smiled lightly: "Uncle still has any tricks, it's better to say them together." ”
"You ——!" Lin Duan was trembling with anger, and the old patriarch on one side knew that things were not going well today, so he had quietly slipped away to the door of the flower hall, and when he slipped to the door, he saw a girl standing at the door with a cold sword in his hand, and his hair immediately stood on end in fright.
Seeing this, Lin Duan didn't look at Lin Jinwen, but only said to Lin Luzhi: "Do you think you can escape in this way?" I tell you, someone already knows I'm here, and if he doesn't see me come out alive, he'll immediately bring someone to search for me, and you won't be able to run away. ”
"Master Taomou Tao?" Lin Jinwen looked at him with a teacup in her hand, and smiled sweetly as before: "He is probably already deeply involved in a murder case and has no time to take care of himself." As for His Royal Highness King Yu, he won't save you, for him, your use value has been squeezed out, and saving you is asking for trouble, he won't do it. ”
Lin Duan saw that she had cut off all her back roads in one breath, so he was stuck in his heart in one breath, and he immediately squatted down in pain and turned pale.
Lin Luzhi was about to step forward, so he heard Lin Jinzhi say coldly: "Mo Xue! ”
"Yes!" Mo Xue responded and immediately stepped forward to knock Lin Duan unconscious.
The old patriarch still wants to run, Ah Bao is already trembling and holding the stick and waiting outside, just waiting for him to come and knock him out, but she is not familiar with the business, she knocked a stick and did not faint, knocked two sticks and did not faint, until she was ready to knock down the third stick, the old patriarch had already obediently lay on the ground and closed his eyes.
"Jin'an, what are you going to do here? Could it be ...... Really want to kill them? Lin Luzhi asked her in a trembling voice, looking at the person in front of him, as if he was not his daughter, his daughter was timid and cowardly, always showing a sweet and lovely smile, and now the person, he was very strange, so strange that he didn't seem to know her at all.
Lin Jinwen saw the alienation in his eyes, and her heart was like a knife, and she only smiled at him: "Father, don't worry, I won't kill them, it's just that they have to stay in the Lin family for a few days." "Until the time of their death comes.
