Chapter Eighty-Five: Self-inflicted iniquity
When the rainstorm suddenly came, people on the street took shelter on both sides, but it was inevitably raining.
In the dark cell, because the servants from outside suddenly came in, they all brought in a cool breeze, and the cell became more humid.
In the corner of the cell, Lin Jinwen sat on the edge of the haystack, looking at the only palm-sized window in the cell, and the rain drifted in along the window, wetting the dust on the wall, and the small insects quickly drilled into the root of the wall.
"It's true, it suddenly rained so heavily that we couldn't do what the adults told us to do." Someone outside muttered, pulled out a stool and sat outside.
Lin Jinwen also pricked up her ears and listened quietly.
"But it's not, I don't know what's wrong with this Dingnanhou Mansion, and so many maids suddenly died." Another official shook his head, with a bit of mockery: "I heard from the post-mortem that those women were smashed under their bodies, and I don't know which flower picker was so ruthless." ”
"Two died in one night, you should say that this flower thief is in good health."
Some people joked, and the others laughed along, picked up the wine bowl and touched it, and got up to work.
Not long after, someone came from outside, carrying a bag of sauced beef wrapped in lotus leaves, looking at a few people and smiling: "Brothers, this is going to the Hou Mansion on an errand today, and Dingnan Hou will reward it, let's divide it." ”
"I came just in time, but I'm worried that I didn't have any snacks." A few people smelled the strong aroma of meat in the lotus leaves, and they were not greedy, and soon they divided three times by five, and the meat was also in the stomach, and the wine was also in the stomach, but they were full of food and drink, and they hiccuped, and they all felt sleepy, and they fell asleep on the table after a while.
Lin Jinwen heard the sound of talking outside and stopped abruptly, quickly became vigilant, turned her head to look somewhere, but saw a servant get up with a sober face, snorted lightly, touched the key from the waist of another servant and came down, looked at the cell on Lin Jin's side, and walked over.
Lin Jinwen quickly leaned against the wall and pretended to be asleep, and the official came to see her asleep, so he smiled: "It's a pity, such a beautiful ......" After speaking, he opened the prison door, turned around and walked out quickly.
Lin Jinwen listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, then immediately opened her eyes, walked to the door of the cell and looked out, just now those officials were all asleep, she tried to shout, but it was useless. After looking around, I found that the cells on the left and right sides were also empty, and there was no one at all.
She knew that someone was coming, so she only pinched all the wax pills she brought out today in the palm of her hand, leaned against the corner of the wall, and waited for someone outside to come, but after a while, there was still no sound outside, and after a long time, she saw Gao Yu coming in from the entrance.
"Miss Lin?" He whispered around him.
"I'm here." Lin Jinwen beckoned to him, and when she saw that he was coming, she felt a lot more settled, but the official was definitely not doing things for him.
When Gao Yu got closer, she asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Gao Yu was relieved to see that she was not injured, and said, "It was the prince who wanted to come to see you, but when I came over, I heard someone secretly instructing the official to kidnap the young lady, so the prince went to lure the person away." ”
"But after a while, there is no guarantee that they will not repeat their old tricks tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Gao Yu, I want you to do me a favor. Lin Jinwen thought about it and said to him.
Gao Yu looked at her with a serious expression, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "Miss Lin, the prince will not allow you to take risks alone." ”
"Aren't you here too, how can I be considered alone?" Lin Jinwen saw that he guessed, so she smiled: "Without further ado, you go and let the prince bring people back, if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots at one time, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome." ”
Gao Yu saw that she was determined, and he also felt reasonable, after thinking about it, he still nodded: "My subordinates will go to ......."
"And ...... Tell the prince and trust me. Lin Jinwen advised, otherwise, with Huaiyan's temperament, she would never agree.
Seeing this, Gao Yu nodded, and walked out quickly.
The rain was heavier again, and the thunder rumbled, and the wind blew in through the small windows, causing the candles to sway.
The green moss peeled off the walls and made a slight noise when it fell to the ground.
At this time, the person standing at the door of the cell stared at the door darkly, and touched his chin: "Is she alone in it?" ”
"The rest of the cell found an excuse to transfer away early in the morning, and the remaining straw bales were all drunk, and now there is only one Lin Jinwen left." The previous official looked at the person in front of him flatteringly, and said carefully: "You go in, the little one will be here for you to guard, and once someone comes, the little one will notify you immediately." ”
Dingnanhou's eyes were a little greedy, thinking of Lin Jinwen, he originally only had three points of impulse in his heart, but now it turned into ten points.
His eyes darkened, and he walked towards the prison.
When the official saw him enter, he instructed the remaining guards: "Good life to watch...... Uh......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a figure behind him, covering his mouth and quickly slitting his throat.
Seeing this, the others hurried to draw their knives, but before they could pull them out, they were kicked back, and by the time they were about to speak, their necks had already been wiped off.
Gao Yu ordered people to drag all these people down and dispose of them, and then looked at the cold people who came to him, and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, you just believe Miss Lin." ”
Zhao Huaiyan's teeth were tight, he didn't speak, he just stared at the door of the cell like a giant beast with a bloody mouth open in the night, if Dingnanhou really dared to hurt his daughter-in-law, he would definitely cut him with a thousand knives!
Xu Chengqing didn't sleep that night, and only after checking with Mo Xue for half the night did he breathe a long sigh of relief, got up and walked out of the Dali Temple, and said to the guards: "Follow me to get someone." ”
"My lord, it's so late, who to take." The guards looked at him sleepily, and then looked at the sky, it was still raining outside, even though it was May, but when the rain fell, it still made people shiver coldly.
Xu Chengqing's eyes were deep, and he glanced at him before he said: "Of course they are people who are trying to harm my Jin Dynasty!" ”
"What?" When the guards heard that it was so serious, they hurriedly cheered up, and by the way, they woke up the others, asked people to prepare carriages and horses, and quickly went out with Xu Chengqing.
The carriage tread through the muddy water on the ground and headed forward, and the people there could not have known that danger was approaching so quickly.
In the candle-lit flower hall, Mrs. Dingnan Hou looked at the arrogant person in front of her, and her heart ached with anger: "Hexiang, do you think that the Hou Ye has raised you to be a flat wife, are you really the mistress of this Hou Mansion, let me tell you, dream!" ”
"Dreaming?" Hexiang smiled faintly, raised her hand lightly, turned around and sat elegantly on the seat of the main seat, straightened the rose-red light gauze dress on her body, looked at her charmingly, and said with a smile: "Do you think you can compare with me at that point?" Looks, or figures? ”
"You are a rough woman from the countryside, you don't know what your identity is behind it, and now you dare to threaten me? What else is good about you besides the appearance of this enchantress? "Dingnan Hou Mansion was so angry that his face turned blue.
Hexiang sneered lightly, glanced at Huang Li, who had been raised to her aunt behind Mrs. Dingnanhou, and said with a smile: "Huang Li, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”
"Yes, ma'am." Huang Li's neck was raised, and he responded crisply.
Mrs. Dingnanhou turned to look at her in surprise: "Huang Li, when did you join her?" ”
Huang Li covered her lips and chuckled: "Why does Madam say so ugly, the concubine is just a person who knows the times and is a handsome." After speaking, he clapped his hands: "Present the things." ”
As soon as her voice fell, a mother-in-law came in outside with a few explicit spring palace brochures.
When Mrs. Hou saw this, her face became darker and darker, and she raised her hand and slapped Huang Li hard: ", what are you doing, do you want to humiliate Mrs. Ben?" In this Dingnanhou Mansion, there is no part for you to speak! ”
Huang Li covered his mouth and gritted his teeth, turned his head and knelt on the ground and said to Hexiang: "Second lady, the eldest lady used this method to confuse Hou Ye and hollow out Hou Ye, how can such a promiscious person be this lady of the main room, please help Hou Ye with the second lady!" ”
"Just a flat wife, where does you have the right to dispose of Mrs. Ben!" Mrs. Dingnanhou stared angrily with round eyes, but when she remembered that Dingnanhou's mind was all on this Hexiang, she no longer cared about herself, and she felt aggrieved again, and her eyes were red.
Hexiang smiled elegantly, looked at the angry Mrs. Hou of Dingnan, and only said: "Since this is the case, then the eldest lady will go to the firewood room to sleep for a day, and wait for tomorrow morning, let the Hou Ye make a decision again." ”
"How dare you ......"
"Why, didn't you hear that?" Hexiang lightly swept towards the mothers-in-law on the side.
The mothers-in-law are ready to move, after all, everyone knows who Hexiang and Mrs. Hou, who has no children, and what is even more outrageous is that Hou Ye has already responded to Aunt Hexiang's words.
After thinking about it, a mother-in-law stepped forward and said, "Madam, you ...... or not."
"Shut up!" Seeing that people really dared to do this, the people of Dingnan Houfu stepped forward quickly with their skirts and were about to pull Hexiang's hair, but Huang Li's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and grabbed her hair, and before she could speak, he slapped her twice in the face.
Her whole body was blindfolded, and then there was a humiliated rage: "You all have to rebel!" Mrs. Hou scolded and was about to pounce, but Huang Li kicked her in the lower abdomen, and kicked Mrs. Hou of Dingnan, who had not recovered from a miscarriage, to the ground.
When the people fell, she herself was blindfolded, and she knelt down with Hexiang and said with a white face: "Second lady, the concubine didn't mean it. ”
"Why don't you send the eldest lady to the firewood room?" Hexiang only smiled faintly.
Seeing this, the people below dragged Mrs. Hou down without saying a word.
While Mrs. Hou was struggling, someone suddenly ran outside, and when she saw this scene, she was startled, her mouth opened, and she forgot what she was going to say.
Hexiang glanced at her and said coldly, "What's the matter?" ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly came back to her senses, and then looked at Mrs. Hou in embarrassment, and said, "It was Master Xu who came and said that he wanted to see Mrs. Hou." ”
"Which Lord Xu?"
"It's Lord Xu Chengqing who was just promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple." The mother-in-law said in a panic.
When Mrs. Dingnanhou heard this, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Quickly invite someone in!" ”
"Yes......" The mother-in-law hesitated, but looked at Hexiang, Hexiang thought about it, and felt that nothing would happen, but she also raised her hand: "Go and invite people in." After speaking, he glanced at the subordinates who were pulling Mrs. Hou, and the subordinates were so frightened that they immediately dragged Mrs. Hou away.
Hexiang made the newly bought flower tea and drank it slowly, and after a while, he heard the footsteps outside the courtyard, and before he looked up, he heard Huang Li say timidly: "Second lady, Lord Xu seems to have brought a lot of people, and he is violent." ”
"This is the Dingnan Hou Mansion, can he still make a mistake?" Hexiang is confident, and he is not afraid of this Xu Chengqing.
Xu Chengqing saw her from afar, remembered what Lin Jinwen said when she was taken away that day, snorted coldly in her heart, and before entering the room, she said coldly: "You dare to harm Dingnanhou, and dare to collude with the people in the palace to slander Zhongliang, you should be punished!" ”
He Xiang didn't put down the tea cup in his hand, and when he heard this, his hand stiffened, and the smile on his face faded, and he only looked up at him: "What is Lord Xu talking about, I didn't understand a word." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can understand everything after going to the official mansion with this official. Come on, take her away from the official! Xu Chengqing commanded with great momentum.
When the attendants heard this, they didn't dare to hesitate, after all, although Xu Chengqing was a new official, his father was a sacrificial wine, and his sister was the newly crowned lord of Yongle.
The attendants surrounded them, but the people of the Hou Mansion also surrounded them, and their swords were tense.
Xu Chengqing glanced at them coldly, and said coldly: "What, if someone wants to harm your Hou Ye, you still have to defend the murderer?" ”
Those people looked at each other, and they were also embarrassed.
When Hexiang saw it, he only smiled lightly, his eyes flowed, staring at him and his voice stretched out and said lazily: "Lord Xu, what you said is not right, even if you want to identify me, you have to come up with evidence, isn't it child's play to arrest me, a good woman, and go to prison without evidence?" By the way, your cousin Lin Jinwen was arrested and imprisoned for harming my relatives, but you came here for personal vendettas? ”
Xu Chengqing saw that she was vibrating, and she didn't panic at all, and called softly: "Come on, present the evidence." ”
When the words fell, looking at the unchanged look on Hexiang's face, the coldness on his face was even worse. She thought she had hidden all the evidence, but was it true, she had a rotten egg with a lot of cracks.
After saying that, Mo Xue had already walked in from outside, brought someone with her, and pulled out a few letters from her sleeve.
Hexiang looked at the person who came, her eyebrows jumped slightly, and she only looked at him coldly and said, "Who are you?" ”
The man was stunned, and hurriedly looked up at her: "Xiang'er, don't you know your mother?" ”
"Mother?" Hexiang snorted lightly: "I have no father and no mother......"
"Although your biological parents are dead, but I raised you, if it weren't for me, you would have been eaten by wild dogs! You're saying you don't know me, you ungrateful dog! The woman changed her face and scolded harshly.
Hexiang looked at the woman on the ground, her eyes slightly cold. When Lin Jinwen said that she doubted Hexiang's identity, she immediately asked Mo Yue to investigate, and Mo Yue was also quick to do things, and soon found out that Hexiang had such an adoptive mother.
Hexiang's complexion changed slightly, looking at her adoptive mother's mean and sour appearance, she finally couldn't help but break the calm on the surface, and said angrily: "How kind are you to me?" Since childhood, she has either beaten or scolded......" After she scolded this, her heart calmed down a little, and then quickly calmed down, and said: "You don't have to worry about the things here, I will do what I should do, you just need to remember not to say what you shouldn't say." ”
"Don't you talk about your relationship with the Nine Emperor Princes? Aren't you just an outer chamber that he kept outside? No, maybe the outer room is not counted, you are just a plaything of his, when you like it, you will be sorry for me, and when you don't like it, you will be thrown to other men to play......"
"Shut up!" The teacup that Hexiang was holding in her hand finally couldn't help but smash it hard at her adoptive mother, but was kicked away by Mo Xue.
The tea splashed on her adoptive mother's face, and she instantly turned red, and she turned back to Xu Chengqing without saying a word: "Lord Xu, hurry up and arrest her, she has killed people, I saw it with my own eyes." ”
"You ——!" He Xiang gritted his teeth, got up quickly and walked to her and said coldly: "I'll give you ten taels of silver every month, what's the matter, don't you want it?" ”
The adoptive mother slapped her away and snorted coldly: "Do you think you are sending the beggars away?" My son is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and if you ask you to take 10,000 taels, you don't take it for a long time, do you think I am scarce of your ten taels of silver? ”
Xu Chengqing glanced at the guards beside him: "There are already people who testify, and you still don't want to take people away from this official?" ”
"I am the second lady of this Hou Mansion, I want to take me away, and I have to wait for the Hou Ye to come back!" Hexiang straightened up and looked at Xu Chengqing, and sneered: "Could it be that on the first day that Lord Xu took office, he was going to frame the blame and make a move?" ”
"In order to save the Hou Ye, it is urgent." Xu Chengqing also responded coldly, and as soon as he raised his hand, the surrounding guards quickly surrounded him, but the guards of the Dingnan Hou Mansion also surrounded him.
Seeing this, Hexiang smiled lightly, raised his hand to touch Xu Chengqing's chin, but heard a sentence outside: "Who dares to obstruct Lord Xu's office, is it Hexiang's accomplice, or does he also want to kill the prince?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the attendants of the Hou Mansion hesitated, and Hexiang looked out of the door, and Mrs. Dingnan Hou, who had just been dragged down, came here again, and she was followed by a woman she didn't know.
Mo Yue helped Mrs. Dingnanhou all the way to the door, only then did she glance at Mo Xue and retreat to the side.
Xu Chengqing respectfully greeted Mrs. Hou before saying, "Mrs. Hou, this matter is really abrupt, but I haven't seen you, Mrs., so I can only do things first." ”
"Lord Xu doesn't have to be polite, whoever dares to harm the Hou Ye is against the entire Hou Mansion!" After speaking, he glared coldly at the subordinates around him: "I didn't hear Mrs. Ben's words, and I won't retreat!" ”
Hexiang gritted her teeth, and Huang Li also hurriedly ran over and pulled Hexiang and said, "Second lady, what can I do about this?" ”
Hexiang ignored her, just looked at Xu Chengqing directly, and sneered: "Okay, I'll go with you, I want to see what else is besides this personal certificate!" With that, he straightened his clothes, glanced at Mrs. Dingnanhou, and walked away directly.
Xu Chengqing looked at Mo Xue, Mo Xue bowed her head, and did not follow him, but waited for him to leave, then looked at Mrs. Hou of Dingnan and said solemnly: "Mrs. Hou, the slave wants to ask you for something." ”
"Something to do with Hexiang?"
"Yes." Mo Xue nodded.
Mrs. Hou laughed: "Okay, I'll help you!" ”
After Mo Xue stepped forward and finished speaking, her eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at her and said, "You can rest assured to do things for Lord Xu, and the rest of Mrs. Ben will naturally do it." "Since Hexiang provoked the government, she naturally doesn't mind using the government's hand to make Hexiang die well!
When Mo Xue heard this, the stone in her heart fell, saluted, and hurried away.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Hou glanced at Huang Li, whose eyes were still spinning, and said coldly: "I thought you were a smart and cultivateable person, but I didn't expect that the mud couldn't support the wall, and you dared to beat me......"
"Madam, the concubine knows ...... wrong"
"It is useful to know the wrong, and what else to punish and do. Come, take her down for me, cut off these claws, beat fifty more boards, and throw her into the kiln. The people of Dingnan Houfu commanded in a cold voice.
Everyone trembled when they heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to drag Huang Li away.
As soon as Huang Li left, Mrs. Hou saw that the sky had begun to glow white, and she didn't sleep, so she directly asked people to prepare their clothes and wait to enter the palace the next day, but they didn't know that a good show was being staged in the Jingzhao Mansion prison at this time.
Lin Jinwen looked at Dingnan Hou, who was standing at the door of the cell and looked at her with burning eyes, and said, "Master Hou, you have been controlled by Gu worms for so long, don't you know it?" ”
"Lin Jinwen, Ben Hou's patience has been exhausted by you, and now you just cut off your three-inch incorruptible tongue, and you can't change Ben Hou's mind, Ben Hou wants you now!" After speaking, he kicked open the door of the cell that had already been unlocked, and rushed straight towards Lin Jinwen.
Lin Jinwen's wax pill had been pinched for a long time, and as soon as he came, he raised his hand and threw all the powder on his face.
Dingnanhou didn't prepare, inhaled a large amount of medicinal powder, and only felt dizzy.
He shook his head violently, staring at Lin Jinwen in front of him, his small body looked very delicate, and the red lips that were slightly pursed were really attractive.
"Little goblin, you also seduce Ben Hou, Ben Hou will eat you ...... now" After saying that, he laughed lewdly, raised his hand and pounced on her.
However, he inhaled a large amount of drugs, and his movements were no longer agile enough, so he was dodged by Lin Jinwen very lightly.
didn't catch anyone, Dingnanhou paused, and laughed again: "Lin Jinwen, there are just two of you and me here, I see where you and I are going......
Where to run? The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were hooked, of course, she ran to Jing Zhaoyin's house.
After thinking about it, he opened the cell door and went out.
Ding Nanhou watched the beauty on his lips run away like this, where was he willing to be willing, and Lin Jinwen's medicine seemed to have added flattering medicine, which made him run away with evil fire, and he couldn't wait to knock her down immediately.
Lin Jinwen ran forward quickly, and found that Dingnanhou was still chasing, and sighed in her heart, fortunately, the people outside were all solved by Huaiyan, otherwise with Dingnanhou's strong physical fitness, I am afraid that this medicine will really not stun him.
While thinking about it, he looked at the people chasing behind him, and ran out of the cell without saying a word.
Out of the cell door, she could obviously feel a burning gaze on her, Huaiyan was watching around here?
She looked around, and because she was sluggish, her arm was grabbed by Dingnanhou.
Zhao Huaiyan, who was in the shadows, was so angry that his eyes sparked. Dingnanhou dared to touch her! His dirty hands still dare to grab her!
Gao Yu looked at the prince who was about to run away, and hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't worry, don't worry, you can't ruin Miss Lin's plan." ”
Zhao Huaiyan gritted his teeth, staring closely at the situation below, and when he saw Dingnanhou's eyes full of desire, he just wanted to go down and dig it!
Lin Jinwen quickly pulled out the hairpin on his head and stabbed it into his arm, seeing that he was in pain and let go, he couldn't care less, lifted his skirt and ran forward.
The door separating the cell from the government has been opened, presumably deliberately opened by the people of Dingnan Hou who secretly bought off the guards.
Lin Jinwen walked through this door, and saw that Ding Nanhou was still chasing after him, and his consciousness seemed to be controlled, so he hurriedly walked through the public hall and went to the courtyard on the other side.
When she arrived at the door, she began to shout for help and began to knock on the door suddenly, even if she alarmed the people hiding here in Dingnanhou, it was time to wake up Jing Zhaoyin.
Sure enough, when Lord Jingzhao Yin Zhang heard the sound outside, he immediately woke up from his sleep, and without saying a word, he picked up his cloak and woke up the guarding officer, and quickly let people open the door.
Lin Jinwen looked at Dingnanhou who was approaching step by step, listened to the footsteps in the courtyard behind her getting closer and closer, and no longer dodged, and let Dingnanhou choke her throat and press her to the wall on the side.
As soon as the courtyard door was opened, the sky was slightly brighter, and the official lifted the lantern in his hand, easily saw the person in front of him, and shouted in fright: "My lord, something is wrong!" ”
Master Zhang ran out quickly, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his heart also jumped to his throat, and he hurriedly shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and pull people away!" ”
After speaking, the officials stepped forward to pull the person away, but Dingnanhou's expression became more and more wrong, and he roared like a beast, and his eyes were bloodshot: "Woman, give me a woman's ......"
He couldn't stop shouting, and Master Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to let people support Lin Jinwen, who was so frightened that her face was white. Seeing her trembling as she grabbed the blood-stained hairpin, she asked anxiously, "Miss Lin, what's going on?" ”
"I don't know ......" Lin Jinwen chewed tears in her eyes and shook her head at him: "I was asleep, but in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the sound of the cell door being opened, and then I saw Master Hou come in, and said something to put me in prison, just to ......" Lin Jinwen didn't continue, and Lord Zhang didn't have to listen to it to know what to say.
His face was cold, and he turned his head coldly to look at Dingnan Hou and said, "Master Hou, this matter ......"
After speaking, he found that Dingnanhou was actually in a chaotic consciousness, and looked at Lin Jinwen in surprise, and said, "What's going on?" ”
"I don't know, he was like this when I met Master Hou." Lin Jinwen said before she said in a trembling voice: "I'm a doctor, why don't I take a look for him first?" ”
"This ......" Master Zhang knew that Lin Jinwen had been wronged, but he couldn't invite the doctor in time at this time, so he had to nod: "I have wronged Miss Lin." ”
Lin Jinwen bit her lip slightly, watching the officials hold down the crazy Dingnanhou, and then stepped forward to stop his pulse, and the jade butterfly on the other hand only pretended to be inadvertently buckled on the wound that was cut on his arm.
After taking her pulse for a long time, Master Zhang saw that she didn't speak, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Lin, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Jinwen raised her eyes to look at him and said, "Have you heard that there are always women killed in the Hou Mansion these days?" ”
Lord Zhang frowned: "Do you think it has something to do with Dingnanhou?" ”
"The folk girl once saw an introduction to the Gu worms in Southern Xinjiang in an ancient book, one of which is called the Red Lotus Gu, which is specially sacrificed to the blood of a girl, and when it grows up, it will gradually control the host's mind until the host goes crazy." Lin Jinwen said in a deep voice, she felt that something was wrong with Dingnanhou before, but she never thought about Gu worms, after all, Gu worms were made by Zhao Kan, although in the end, Concubine Xian also seemed to use Gu worms as a means, but she thought that after the emperor was angry, no one dared to use this as a cover, she never thought that there would be such a powerful minister, and she still used such powerful ministers as Dingnanhou.
When the words fell, suddenly a servant snorted softly, raised his hand and pointed at Dingnanhou's mouth: "What is that that crawling out......
Lin Jinwen looked at it, the blood-red wriggling insects were not the red lotus Gu mentioned in the book.
"My lord......" Lin Jinwen hurriedly took a step back, and Lord Zhang immediately ordered: "Catch this worm!" ”
After speaking, someone immediately pulled out a saber and picked out the worm, chopping it into pieces in three or two strokes, and Dingnanhou also stopped his madness, stared at his eyes and took a deep breath before he passed out.
When Master Zhang heard Lin Jinwen talk about Gu worms, the whole person was highly vigilant, and when he saw this Gu worm, his face sank completely, and he said to her: "This matter is all to blame for the negligence of the official, the government can let people come and go at will, and it almost hurt you." Rest assured, all those who take care of you will be replaced, and everyone else will be punished heavily. But Miss Lin, this official is going to enter the palace now. ”
"The people understand, Lord Zhang, please." Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes and obeyed.
When Master Zhang glanced at her, he knew that she was not at all what Mrs. Yan said that she would kill innocent people indiscriminately in order to fight for a piece of land in Zhuangzi, so she only nodded at her before leaving quickly.
When the people left, Lin Jinwen breathed a sigh of relief.
Raising his eyes and looking not far away, a black figure stood lightly on the wall, the sun after the rain slowly rose from the sky, as if it had also crossed a layer of golden light for him, and the long black hair was scattered behind him at will, blowing slightly with the breeze, it really seemed that he was about to feather away at this moment.
Lin Jinwen knew that he would always be there, and her heart was stable, so she only smiled sweetly at him, and was afraid that the official on one side would find out, so she immediately turned her head and went to the cell.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her clever appearance and sighed helplessly.
Gao Yu was happy: "Miss Lin really has a way." ”
"You are here to guard her, and then let this king find out that other men have touched her......"
"Don't worry, if another man touches it, his subordinates will definitely chop off his hand." Gao Yu swore and promised.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, and looked in the direction of Lin Jinwen for a long time before turning away.
in the Royal Palace.
Early in the morning, the silence has been broken and lively.
After applying the medicine in the morning, Jiacai couldn't help but feel strange when he saw that no one had come to serve him for a long time, so he got up and opened the door and went out, but when he walked into the courtyard, he found that there was no one in the palace.
"Little plum." She called out to her henchman eunuch, but after a while, there was no movement around, only a wild cat jumped on one side of the dry well and meowed.
Jiacai frowned slightly, and walked towards the dry well, and when he reached the dry well, he smelled a strong smell of blood and foul smell inside.
Her face turned pale and she took two steps back, but she still couldn't help but vomit in disgust.
At this moment, there was a creak at the door, and the green embroidered shoes unique to the harem maid stepped in.
Jiacai people raised their eyes and saw that the person who came was not the forsythia beside the noble person.
"You're all behind these people?" Jiacai asked with disgust.
Forsythia only looked at her without understanding: "What are you talking about?" It was the nobleman who saw that you had not yet gone to serve, so he specially called the slave maid to see if you were sick. After Forsythia finished speaking, she found that she was vomiting, covered her lips and laughed: "What's wrong with the talented person, why did you still vomit, isn't it the old clam who wants to give birth to pearls?" But the emperor hasn't pampered you, isn't it you and these six impure eunuchs in the palace......"
"Shut up!" She finally couldn't help but scold.
Forsythia was not afraid of her at all, only glanced at her coldly, and then said: "There are many strange things in the palace, there are concubines and eunuchs who have fornication, there are masters and slaves who have mixed up, and there are masters who ruthlessly kill everyone around them, and the slaves and maids are just reminding you......" Forsythia finished speaking, and suddenly covered his nose and said: "Ouch, why is it so stinky." After speaking, he looked towards the well, and the Jiacai people were just about to shout 'don't', but the forsythia was already frightened, looked at the Jiacai people, turned his head and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Oh no, the Jiacai people have killed people!" ”
At this time, Jiacai people saw this, where did they not know that all this was designed by the noble people, she brought down the queen, and she couldn't tolerate herself who was groveling now.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and turned her head back to Fang Cai's dormitory.
As soon as the noble man waited for Forsythia to come back, he saw that her face was still white, and smiled lightly: "What, I'm scared?" ”
Forsythia looked at the noble man who was wearing long armor and playing with the pearl jade, where did he dare to tell the truth, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, the slave maid was not scared." But Niangniang, the slaves and maids you explained have all been done, and now the people in the Sixth Palace are afraid that they will all know that Jiacai people have gone crazy and killed their own palace people. ”
"That's good, clean up, it's time to go and say goodbye to the Queen Mother." When the noble person thought of the queen mother, she was resentful, she was old, and she said that she no longer cared about the affairs of the palace, so she couldn't always eat and pray for the Buddha, why did she have to come out to help this talented person? She is bent on helping Jiacai people up, but she is not as good as she wants, look at how a murderous Jiacai person can still help her to the top.
When Gui Zhi heard these words on one side, his eyes darkened, and he silently lowered his eyes.
At this time, the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, if she didn't come, it would already give the Queen Mother a headache.
The Queen Mother looked at Mrs. Dingnanhou, who came to cry early in the morning, she also had a headache, and she couldn't drive away, so she could only comfort: "Dingnanhou is messing around, but as the lady of the main room, you also have to show a little bit of your bearing, a man's three wives and four concubines are normal, why bother it is worth you crying here and losing your dignity." ”
Mrs. Dingnanhou wiped her tears and said sadly: "Queen Mother, the concubine doesn't want to be like this, but the concubine heard that this Aunt Hexiang can raise Gu!" ”
The Queen Mother was sleepy, but when she heard this, she immediately put down the teacup in her hand and looked at her and asked seriously, "What did you say?" ”
"Concubine ......" Mrs. Dingnanhou seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother frowned and said, "It's all this time, do you still want to hide it from the mourning family?" Dare to raise Gu, that's a capital crime! ”
"But Master Hou doesn't know about ......"
"Don't worry, the mourning family is not a confused person, if it has nothing to do with Dingnanhou, naturally he will not be embarrassed." The Queen Mother looked at her and said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Dingnanhou remembered Mo Xue's words, Xu Chengqing took Hexiang away was just a temporary measure, and when Dingnanhou came back, he would definitely only protect her more carefully, and if he wanted to kill Hexiang at that time, it was impossible, and according to the situation last night, he might be killed by Hexiang.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dingnanhou also turned her heart sideways, looked at the Queen Mother and said: "It was the concubine who heard it with her own ears, when Hexiang was taken away by Lord Xu last night, she quietly asked her subordinates to take care of the Gu worms raised in her room, and the concubine had no choice, so she came to tell the Queen Mother." Hou Ye is so infatuated with her, I'm afraid that he was also tricked by her. ”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother's whole face darkened, and she immediately asked people to go to the emperor, but in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, Lord Zhang, who came in a hurry, also told the emperor about the Gu worms crawling out of Dingnanhou's body.
The honorable people didn't know these circumstances, and sat on the sedan chair and walked forward slowly, but when they were about to arrive at Cining Palace, someone suddenly stopped the sedan chair to ask for peace.
The honorable man looked at the palace people blocking the road in front of him lightly, and said, "Which palace maid are you?" ”
"The slave maid is from Xin's library, and today in Xin's person asked the palace maid who had stolen Niangniang's things, and found a silk handkerchief lost by Niangniang." With that, he raised his hands and presented the silk handkerchief.
The honorable man frowned: "Silk handkerchiefs and other things, if you lose them, you don't want them, if you like them, you will be rewarded." ”
When the palace maid heard this, her hands were still present, and she said, "Niangniang, look at this handkerchief, the slave and maid look very clean." ”
When the noble man heard this, he looked at the veil, and it was indeed clean, and it was like it was found by Xin Zheku, and it was clearly newly embroidered.
However, she became suspicious, glanced at the palace maid, and asked Guizhi on one side to bring the veil.
Gui Zhi glanced at the handkerchief and saw that there were words in it, and probably guessed something in his heart.
When the veil was handed over, I carefully looked at the expression of the honorable person, and found that her face first showed surprise, and then showed a relaxed smile, and secretly said that it was not good in her heart, and she was busy covering her stomach and moaning.
The honorable man glanced at her: "What's wrong?" ”
"The slave has a stomachache ......"
The honorable man frowned in disgust: "Go down, you don't have to come to serve this morning." ”
"Yes." When Gui Zhi heard this, he hurriedly bowed and retreated.
As soon as she left, Forsythia rolled her eyes, looked at her back and left straight, and said in a low voice: "Sister Guizhi has always been the most cautious and never greedy and greedy, how could there be such a thing as stomach trouble all of a sudden?" ”
Jing Guiren thought about Fang Cai's words, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Forsythia: "Go and stare at her." ”
When Forsythia heard this, his heart jumped, knowing that he was expected to climb to the first position next to the honorable person, so he hurriedly smiled and saluted, and turned his head to follow.
Only then did the noble man look at the palace maid of the Naxin Zhiku, and threw the veil back to her: "This veil has rewarded you." "Anyway, let the sedan chair go directly to Cining Palace. If what is said on the handkerchief is true, Jiacai people will definitely die this time!
The palace maid of the Naxin Zhiku bowed down and waited for the noble to leave, then she breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the silk handkerchief that had fallen to the ground, smiled lightly at her departing back, and turned her head to return to her life. It's also strange to Jiacai, the prince used to protect her and take care of her like that, but now she wants to bite the most powerful prince as soon as she gains power, she really can't live by herself.
