The Lin family has begun to be lively in the past few days, and Lin Jin's stay has only passed fifteen, until Lin Jincheng and Xu Boshan are going to the court, Lin Jin's wife is ready to leave for the palace.

When leaving, Lin Luzhicai finally opened his heart.

Mo Xue took the grapes and wine that she was going to ask for an early morning to play in the yard, and only told them with a smile: "Niangniang will come out later, I will leave today, will the slave take you to Dongyuan to see the koi, okay?" ”

"Okay." Jiu'er immediately nodded sensibly, and Grape only quietly pulled Mo Xue and whispered, "Aunt Xue, what is the queen mother talking to her grandfather?" Did my grandfather scold my mother again? ”

"Naturally, no, who told you this." Mo Xue hurriedly smiled, but the eyes of the palace maids around her were a little colder.

The maids hurriedly lowered their heads, and Mo Xue said, "Prince, they have nothing to do, don't worry." ”

Grape looked at her ignorantly: "Really? ”

Mo Xue bowed her head, then stretched out her hand to her with a smile and said, "Let's go, otherwise I won't see such a fat koi fish when I go to the palace in a while." ”

Grape glanced at the house uneasily, and made sure that it was okay, so he nodded and walked with Mo Xue.

Jiu'er naturally took Mo Xue's hand and jumped away, and as she walked, she thought about it for a while and returned to the palace, going to tell Xiao Xun all these things that the Lin family had seen.

When Mo Xue came out with two small ones, the sun happened to come out, and it was very warm on people, she raised her little face to look at the sky, the corners of her mouth raised, and pointed to the soft white clouds and said, "Aunt Xue, that's you." ”

"It's me?" Mo Xue looked at her with a light smile.

"Because Aunt Xue is so good-looking." Jiu'er hugged her arm and smiled.

Mo Xue's eyes narrowed slightly: "Little girl, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Seeing that she guessed it all at once, Jiu'er smiled, and then said coquettishly: "Aunt Xue, the roast chicken in the kitchen yesterday was the best, I want to bring some to Xiaoxun." ”

Mo Xue burst out laughing, but she still responded, and immediately instructed someone to prepare.

After a while, Lin Jinwen finally finished talking to Lin Luzhi, and when she came out, the eyes of both father and daughter were a little red, but it could be seen that the knot in their hearts had been untied.

Soon, Lin Jinwen took the two little ones back to the palace together.

Lin Luzhi stood at the door for a long time, watching the carriage leave, and finally let out a long sigh, as if he was going to finish this life.

Wang Ruyan appeared from behind him, saw him sigh, and only smiled: "Father, Yan'er made a good pot of tea, father can ......"

"Yan'er ......"

Before Wang Ruyan finished speaking, a female voice full of complicated vicissitudes came. The moment Wang Ruyan heard this voice, tears fell out of her eyes that were originally full of joy.

Lin Luzhi looked at the person who came, and also smiled with relief, only looked at Wang Ruyan, and said lovingly: "Yan'er, you have also worked hard, today the affairs of the family will be taken care of by the housekeeper, you invited Mrs. Wang to sit in your yard together." ”

"Thank you, father." Wang Ruyan looked at him gratefully, and then turned to look at the visitor. The mother has lost a lot of weight, the original pair of gentle and loving eyes are now full of vicissitudes, she is followed by two mothers-in-law, one of whom is holding a child in her arms, the child looks timid, but not at all like the eldest brother Wang Huiyuan, but like their mother-in-law.

When Wang Ruyan saw the two children, the stinging pain in her heart was not so strong.

Mrs. Wang saw her like this, and she only had indescribable complexity and sadness in her heart, if she hadn't made those mistakes at the beginning, the Wang family would definitely not have made trouble to this point. But everything has happened, the son and husband are gone, and the daughter has also suffered a lot of twists and turns, just as Lin Luzhi went to find himself before, told him about Yan'er's suffering, and told her that if she didn't cherish it again, even this daughter would be gone.

She mustered up enough courage to come, and the moment she saw her, her heart relented after all.

"Yan'er, do you still blame your mother?" Mrs. Wang stepped forward, wiped away her tears, and asked her carefully.

"It's all over, mother, you didn't feel sorry for Yan'er, it was Yan'er who was ignorant and affected you and your father." Wang Ruyan stepped forward with a light smile, did not feel sorry for herself, but comforted her.

Mrs. Wang noticed the change in her whole person from the inside out, and she was relieved, and couldn't help but hold her in her arms, and sighed: "That's good, you don't hate your mother, that's good." She wept quietly.

Wang Ruyan comforted her, and then asked her to enter the house, but Mrs. Wang shook her head, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, my mother has come to Beijing, and I have already rented a yard, and we live outside......"

"But in the end......"

"Yan'er, you have such a happy day now, you have earned it yourself, it is your own blessing, you don't lose money, and you don't owe these two children. My mother brought them to Beijing this time, just to pay homage to your father, and we will leave soon. Mrs. Wang smiled.

Wang Ruyan hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Mother, what happened at the beginning has nothing to do with the child. ”

Mrs. Wang was naturally more pleased that she could be so generous, but she also didn't want these two children to exist, and reminded her every day that Yan'er, who was frightened and tortured, was too cruel to her when her brother did the foolish thing she did. She did complain at the beginning, complaining that because of Yan'er, the Wang family suffered this catastrophe, and the family was ruined, but after careful investigation, how can Yan'er be blamed? She didn't do anything wrong, the fault was that she had an inferior brother and useless parents, and even she couldn't protect her.

Mrs. Wang insisted on refusing to stay, but left the address of the rented house, and talked for a while at the door of Lin's house, and the two children couldn't stand the cold and cried, so they took people away.

Wang Ruyan wanted to chase after her, but Lin Luzhi only said softly: "This matter is a big knot in the heart of the mother-in-law, Yan'er, the future is long, there is no need to rush for a while." ”

"Yes." Wang Ruyan knew that what he said was reasonable, so she finally stopped.

only watched Mrs. Wang's figure slowly disappear into the snow, and then slowly smiled, as long as the mother is willing to forgive her, it will be fine.

Lin Jinwen had just returned to the palace at this time, and she heard a report from the palace maid of Cining Palace, saying that Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to see her.

"See me for what?"

"It was said that there was something very important, but the Queen Mother refused to say it, and she must go over in person." The palace maid who talked back and forth.

"Go over in person...... Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes to look at her stomach, and finally said to Mo Xue on the side: "Go and prepare first." After speaking, he looked at the palace maid: "Empress Dowager Jiang has been doing well recently, can the imperial doctor come over on time?" ”

"The imperial doctor passed on time, but the queen mother said that she would not be able to live in a few days anyway, so she refused to take medicine." The palace maid replied truthfully.

Mo Xue was not very relieved: "Niangniang, I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Jiang will ......"

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen interrupted her, this is indeed a tricky question, after all, Empress Dowager Jiang is still Huaiyan's biological mother, and she won't live long, if something happens at this time, even if Huaiyan loves herself deeply, if she goes in the future, she will not be able to give birth to something.

She thought about it, and finally looked at the palace maid and said, "You go back first to serve well, and the palace will pass later." ”

The palace maid is not Qian'er, so she doesn't have to think about it for Empress Dowager Jiang at all, and when she heard this, she immediately retreated.

After she left, Mo Xue said, "Niangniang, do you want the slave to explore again?" ”

"No need, unless I go over, you just go a hundred times, I'm afraid it's useless." Lin Jinwen stood beside the charcoal brazier and warmed her hands, then turned around and sat down on the side of the warm couch, picked up the freshly stewed soup and drank it shallowly, before finally saying: "That's it, you go and arrange, the palace will see her later." ”

"Then the slave maid will tell the emperor first?" Mo Xue was still not at ease.

Lin Jinwen looked at her like this, and smiled lightly: "Yes, but he is dealing with the government now, and he will send someone to tell him later, as for the Empress Dowager Jiang, she is already at the end of the crossbow, and she doesn't have any capital that can hurt me now." ”

Mo Xue saw that she was so calm, so she didn't want to say more.

Later, after Lin Jinwen changed her clothes, she went to Cining Palace.

The sedan chair carrying her was extremely slow and careful, after all, Lin Jinwen's belly was not small now, if she bumped it, the emperor would definitely kill them.

Thinking of this, the people who were waiting were more careful, and they all cheered up, even a small insect was not allowed to get close to Lin Jinwen.

Soon, I arrived in front of the gate of Cining Palace.

When the time came, the grandmothers at the door quickly came out to salute, and took the initiative to say: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother has already changed her clothes, just waiting for you to come." ”

Lin Jinwen asked people to get up, and only then did she raise her eyes and look at Cining Palace, and saw the Empress Dowager Jiang in a black dress who came out from behind the shadow wall, her face was smeared with fat powder, but Xu Zhen had been sick for too long, and the spiritual energy on her body had long been gone.

Empress Dowager Jiang also saw her slowly getting down from the sedan chair, looking at her with a faint gaze at herself, as if she had met for the first time, she really hadn't changed at all.

"Since the queen is pregnant, she doesn't have to bow to the mourning family." Empress Dowager Jiang walked slowly and looked at her.

The surrounding palace people could hear that this was the Empress Dowager Jiang's deliberate words to ask Lin Jinwen to salute, but Lin Jinwen only said calmly: "The Empress Dowager is not in good health, why did she get up and come out." ”

"Anyway, I won't live for a few days, so why not go out for a walk, it's better than being suffocated in it, are you right, Queen?" Empress Dowager Jiang looked at her with a smile and said, with a little sarcasm in her eyes.

"Yes, what the Queen Mother said is reasonable. Since the Queen Mother is going to go, the palace is inconvenient, so I won't accompany her much. Lin Jinwen saw that she had other thoughts, so she didn't bother to deal with her, and turned around to leave, but the Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have something to ask you for help." ”

Lin Jin's eyebrows raised slightly, and she said lightly: "Mo Xue, serve the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother has any requests, she will respond." ”

"Yes......"

"No need." Empress Dowager Jiang interrupted Mo Xue's words, looked at Lin Jinwen with a smile and said, "I am a dying person, is the queen worried, walking with the mourning family, will she be infected?" ”

Lin Jinwen saw that she was using the word 'filial piety' to suppress her, and felt more and more funny: "It seems that the Queen Mother has to accompany the palace today." ”

"The queen calls herself 'Bengong' in front of the mourning family, and she doesn't call the mourning family her mother, a few guesses about the mourning family, why should you guess, anyway, the mourning family is just an enemy in your eyes......"

"Wrong, in the eyes of the palace, the queen mother has always been the emperor's biological mother." That's why I've left you until now.

Lin Jin's eyes were slightly colder, but Empress Dowager Jiang laughed: "Really? It turns out that the queen still takes the mourning family seriously, but the mourning family blames you. ”

Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "After all, the queen mother is the queen mother, and the palace just doesn't look at the monk's face, but also looks at the Buddha's face, are you right?" After all, no matter what happens to the emperor, he still remembers the relationship between your mother and son more than ten years ago. ”

The queen moved slightly, her fists clenched slightly, because she was angry, she also coughed a little, and after coughing her face turned white, she looked at her and sneered: "Is it?" It turns out that the queen is so good to the emperor, since this is the case, why do you need to occupy the harem and prevent the emperor from accepting concubines? ”

Lin Jinwen didn't know what kind of logic she was, could it be that for the sake of Huaiyan's goodness, she had to persuade him to take a concubine more?

Lin Jinwen only said: "The emperor is a wise emperor, whether to accept a concubine or not is not something that can be decided by the palace alone." ”

"Nonsense! The emperor is clearly bewitched by you, so he will come to this point, otherwise he will ......"

"Otherwise what? Otherwise, is he still doing your pawn to buy your life for you? Lin Jinwen said this, she was already a little angry, Huaiyan had done so much, she couldn't imagine that she was still stubborn and stubborn, even if she was not grateful, at least she didn't have the mentality of treating everyone as fools anymore, who knew that she was still so selfish after being silent for so long!

Empress Dowager Jiang was also speechless, she didn't want to say this, although she often regretted not killing Lin Jinwen earlier. But now she is really for Huaiyan's good, she wants to get rid of Lin Jinwen, so that he can be a good emperor with courage and resourcefulness without any scruples, instead of being trapped in the harem, and even refusing to accept concubines.

Thinking of this, she finally smiled and said, "It's just a joke, why should the queen be angry." The mourning family wants to go, since the queen is here, she should accompany the mourning family, the mourning family doesn't have a few days to live anyway. ”

Lin Jinwen had already guessed her purpose, but seeing that she was so persistent, she knew that she would not hit the south wall and would not die, so she only said: "Okay, come on, go and clean up the Chunxi Palace, the palace and the Queen Mother will go over and walk now." ”

"Yes." The palace maid agreed quickly, but Empress Dowager Jiang just looked at Lin Jinwen with a slightly pale face, and her heart was full of panic.

Lin Jin's eyes darkened slightly, and she ignored her, and directly asked someone to help her and went to Chunxi Palace.

Chunxi Hall has always been cleaned, so when they arrived, the inside was still clean.

Empress Dowager Jiang stood outside the Chunxi Palace, looked at the palace, and exhaled heavily, the past came like a tide, making her remember all the past events that she had deliberately forgotten, and her heart full of scars seemed to have been sprinkled with a handful of salt, and it hurt badly.

Lin Jinwen walked to the door of Chunxi Palace, turned her head and glanced at her, and saw her standing motionless, only said: "I heard that the emperor also folded a osmanthus flower to give to the queen mother, do you think the queen mother likes it very much?" ”

Empress Dowager Jiang came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at her, her gaze slowly becoming complicated.

She doesn't just want her to die now because of her long-cherished wish with Lin Jinwen, but she thinks that this person is too smart, since she entered the harem, she has been completely held in her hands, and there is no room for resistance at all, so in her opinion, if a person like Lin Jinwen does not die, sooner or later it will affect the country of Daqi and affect Huaiyan's status, after all, there is a Lin family and a Xu family......

Thinking like this, she finally slowly walked into the Chunxi Palace.

But when I came in, I found that the furnishings inside had not changed at all, only the osmanthus tree had grown up, and looking at the osmanthus tree, she suddenly returned to the beginning.

Every time she took a step forward, it was as if she was stepping on the tip of a knife, looking back on her body, it was as if she was a world away, as if the concubine who had been graced in this palace was not herself at all.

"Your Majesty......" she muttered, only to find that her voice was old and hoarse, she lowered her eyes to see that her hands had grown old age spots, and they were no longer as tender as they used to be, only old......

Lin Jinwen didn't say anything, just watched her slowly walk inside, her expression indifferent.

Empress Dowager Jiang slowly moved forward, her eyes gradually moistened, until she walked inside, sat down on the edge of the former warm couch, and looked at the well-preserved embroidered pillow and the set of tea cups with white flowers for foundation, which she had used.

She stroked the soft mattress carefully, thinking about the love she had had, and finally couldn't help but cry like rain.

She turned her back to not let anyone see her, and took the opportunity to send them all away.

Lin Jinwen was standing in the courtyard, Mo Xue followed by her side, and said, "Why don't you go in?" ”

"Are your people optimistic about her?" Lin Jinwen asked.

"Look, don't worry, she can't do anything." Moxue Road.

Lin Jinwen only sighed softly, she seemed to be able to feel the despair on Empress Dowager Jiang's body, but if she wasn't so ruthless to her lover and children, maybe she didn't have to bear it at all, but unfortunately, the hatred was deep to the bone, and the emperor of Western Xia couldn't let her struggle out of hatred. In other words, she hated the Jin Dynasty Emperor who wanted to kill her with her own hands, but she also loved the Jin Dynasty Emperor miserably.

She knew that it was cruel to force her to come to Chunxi Hall today, but some feelings, which seemed painful, were also faced head-on, and after facing it head-on, it would no longer be a scar in her heart, and it would not be a river of blood every time she touched it.

Soon, there was the sound of broken cups inside.

The palace maids were anxious to enter, but a man in black jumped out of it, and immediately saluted Lin Jinwen: "Return to the queen mother, the queen mother wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by her subordinates." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen had already expected that Empress Dowager Jiang was trying her best to kill herself, or to make Huaiyan think that she had killed her, so that there would be trouble between herself and Huaiyan, and she would also rely on a life that was not long in time to win back a city.

Lin Jinwen walked in slowly, Empress Dowager Jiang was still bleeding in her hands, her hair was a little messy, and she was sitting on the ground in despair, surrounded by a broken teapot.

Lin Jinwen looked at her like this, and finally said: "What is the obsession, if you have to fight your last days, you have to torture yourself......"

"You know I'm going to kill ......"

"It doesn't matter who you kill." Lin Jinwen said lightly: "I only know that you have lived in pain all your life, but most of the time, it is not someone else's fault, it is you who are torturing yourself......"

"I don't need you to preach!" Empress Dowager Jiang said angrily, because she was angry, she coughed again.

"I don't want to preach to you. It's just that you want to kill me again and again, have you ever thought about it, if you kill me, what can you do? Will Huaiyan really accept a concubine? Lin Jinwen asked her rhetorically.

Empress Dowager Jiang's cough slowly stopped, she looked at Lin Jinwen, and said with great confidence: "He will ......"

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were hooked, but she shook her head, and looked at her helplessly: "I thought that Huaiyan would keep you in the palace, so attentive, you would take some time to really understand him and your biological son, but you don't, you are still so selfish, you only think about yourself and do things that make you feel happy." I can tell you now, the relationship between me and Huaiyan, you can't imagine, I live and die with him, never alone, if you want to kill me again, I dare to promise, I will not hesitate to kill you, even if Jiu'er asks in the future, I will only tell her how selfish you are and how unworthy of her love and respect are. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang looked at her gloomily: "Impossible, Huaiyan has won the throne with great difficulty......"

"Yes, it's not easy, because of you, he has worked a hundred times harder, and now you are still sparing no effort to destroy him." Lin Jinwen calmly tore through her self-righteous love, thinking that just thinking that just one word of love could erase everything? What has been done will come at a price in the future.

"How can this be, how can it be like this......" Empress Dowager Jiang became painful, she raised her eyes to look at Lin Jinwen, and then thought about herself, and finally shook her head in pain, she didn't understand why it became like this.

Lin Jinwen glanced at Mo Xue, Mo Xue understood, and immediately called the palace maid of Cining Palace, planning to help her go back.

When Empress Dowager Jiang was helped up, her eyes were a little confused, and she went around and around to return to this Chunxi Palace, where she used to be the most fearful, but now she doesn't want to leave.

She looked at Lin Jinwen and her voice was hoarse: "I'll stay here......"

"As the Queen Mother wishes." After Lin Jinwen finished speaking, Empress Dowager Jiang looked at her back and said, "Lin Jinwen, love...... Is it really enough for a person to abandon the throne and just want to live and die together? ”

When Lin Jinwen heard her question, her hard heart finally softened.

She turned to look at her, her gaze determined, "Yes." ”

"You believe him so much? Don't you believe that one day he will kill you for his throne? Empress Dowager Jiang looked at her sadly, as if asking herself back then.

"I believe in him, just as he believes in me. If Huaiyan stabbed me in the heart with a knife one day, I believe that he must be trying to kill me, but he is forced to do so, and the stab in my heart must be more painful than the stabbing in his heart. Lin Jinwen did not hesitate.

Tears fell from the eyes of Empress Dowager Jiang: "How could it be, how could there be such a stupid person......"

"Isn't Emperor Changsun also stupid, he overrode public opinion, favored Concubine Jiang alone, and even made his son the crown prince, and gave her his life and the country." Lin Jinwen's tone was softer.

Empress Dowager Jiang thought of Emperor Changsun and everything in Western Xia, and muttered: "It was me, but I only saw the people who betrayed me back then, and all the people who loved me were abandoned, how could I ...... Why are you so stupid......" She looked at Lin Jinwen deeply, and finally laughed lightly: "Lin Jinwen, you are the person I want to kill the most and envy the most." Let's go, from now on, there will be no Empress Dowager Jiang, no more concubines, only Concubine Jiang......"

After she finished speaking, she went to the innermost part of the Chunxi Hall alone, walking slowly, embarrassed and depressed, and the lonely figure pulled the old man, like a beast that was about to swallow her at any time.

Lin Jinwen knew that Empress Dowager Jiang was afraid that she would really not survive today.

For decades, he tried his best to kill countless people who betrayed their relatives and divorced, but once they repented and regretted not being at the beginning. Huang Liang woke up from a dream, and the only person who gave everything for her had long been missed forever.
