Chapter 90: The Earth Emperor
Seeing her bump into her, Mo Feng had already prepared, kicked her away with one kick, and then stepped on the ground.
Lin Jinwen didn't care about the light shouts and disdain of others, but said indifferently: "Where is the guard of the post house, come out to see me." β
When the words fell, Gao Yu pulled out the anxious guard who was hiding on the side.
When the guard saw the dead person, he felt that something was wrong, and when he saw the girl again, he was even more panicked, but this Miss Lin was the person who His Royal Highness King Ning was hurting at the tip of his heart, and he didn't stay or escape, so he had to pull it out by Gao Yu.
Lin Jinwen looked at this official who was trembling like chaff, felt that something was wrong, and asked him coldly: "What does the adult seem to know?" β
The guard officer glanced at the girl who was trampled under the feet of Mo Feng, and then looked at the servant woman with a dark face, sighed and knelt down in front of Lin Jinwen and kowtowed three times: "It's all strange that the villain is confused, this woman was originally out of place last month, and the villain saw that she was pitiful, so he took her in, but she was actually a ghost today and wanted to harm Miss Lin." β
"Do you know that I didn't kill this servant?" Lin Jinwen wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, and Mo Feng also felt that something was wrong: "This woman is not the daughter of this servant woman at all." β
The onlookers were surprised, could it be that they misunderstood Miss Lin?
The guard looked at the cold knife that Gao Yu had already revealed, where did he dare to hide it, and only nodded: "I didn't pay attention to this woman at first, but later I found out that she likes to test poison with people." β
"Hahaha, do you know now? Didn't you already know? You have insulted me, and you want your whole family to die with me! The girl who was stepped on laughed maniacally, Mo Feng frowned, let go of her foot, and the girl actually raised her hand and stabbed at Lin Jin's daughter-in-law, but before she could get close to Lin Jin's daughter-in-law, she was opened by Mo Feng.
Lin Jin's face was slightly cold, this woman said that she wanted the Shouguan's family to be buried with her, so she thought of harming herself, and finally made the prince angry and killed the Shouguan's family who adopted her......
The woman was opened, knowing that she couldn't kill Lin Jinwen, she turned her head and pounced on the guard: "If you dare to rape me, I'll kill you now, brute!" After speaking, he pulled out the hairpin on his head that had been blackened by poison, and stabbed it fiercely at the guard.
Gao Yu was on the side of the guard, kicked the woman's knee in the end, and watched her kneel on the ground before he stepped forward and asked her to hold her.
Seeing that the person was controlled, the guard hurriedly knelt down with Lin Jinwen: "Thank you Miss Lin for saving me." β
"She said you despised her, but the truth?" Lin Jinwen suddenly asked him in a cold voice.
The guard's goatee trembled slightly, and his slightly thin face showed a little timidity, and he hurriedly said: "She seduced me, otherwise why would she want me to save her." β
"Brute, I don't want you to save me even if I die!" The woman remembered that rainy night, she was originally from the rivers and lakes, and after a fight with the people of Qingshanzhai, she was seriously injured and fled to the foot of the mountain, and she happened to meet this guard before she fainted.
The guard said sarcastically: "If you hadn't tempted me with your beauty......"
Lin Jinwen didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she just looked at him coldly: "Even so, you still connived at her to kill a lot of people." β
"This ...... I ......" the guard was speechless.
Lin Jinwen glanced at Gao Yu, Gao Yu understood, and directly instructed the guards on the side: "Send it to the government, as an official, not only do you not know how to obey the law, but you forcibly occupy the people's daughters and connive at murder, the crime deserves death!" β
The guard officer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly begged him: "Gao guard, this is none of my business, I don't know......"
Gao Yu snorted lightly, ignored him no longer, but looked at the woman who was crying bitterly, and then asked Lin Jinwen: "Miss, what should she do?" β
"Murder pays for life." Although Lin Jinwen was merciful, she was really vicious in her mind, and she wanted to take revenge with her innocent life.
The woman did not refute either, and was quickly taken down.
The onlookers around were suddenly speechless, and when they remembered that Fang Cai was angry and accused Lin Jinwen, they felt embarrassed.
The old doctor who bore the brunt of the problem was even more ashamed and blushed and planned to sneak away, but suddenly heard Lin Jin's wife say: "The old doctor has a hidden disease, it is better to treat it early." β
The old doctor's face turned even greener, and he only saluted her perfunctorily, and said sarcastically: "The villain is cheap, and he doesn't dare to care about Miss Laurin." But your little bit of medical skills, or don't harm people, young age, do you really think that outsiders praise a few words, it is a miracle doctor, if it is not for your family background, who would say these rotten words. β
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she didn't laugh angrily, but said, "Thank you for the old doctor's advice." β
When the old doctor saw her indifferent appearance, he only thought that she was weak-hearted, and his eyes became more and more cloudy, and he only snorted softly before turning his head and leaving.
Xu Zhaozhao grimaced at his back, and then stepped forward to pull Lin Jinwen: "These individuals, I don't know the situation, it's nonsense!" β
"It's okay." Lin Jinwen only felt a pity that the beautiful morning was ruined.
The scene was cleaned up, and the enthusiastic people before really found Tao Mou.
Tao Mou took office early this morning, and did not go directly to the government office, but came to the jurisdiction to inspect first, which is a smart move.
Lin Jinwen looked at him with a pale face, as if she didn't care about Ru Yan and her brother's affairs, and only smiled on her face: "Master Tao, the matter has been resolved." β
"The lower officials heard about it." He saluted Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao, and then looked at Lin Jin'an, his face was very calm: "If such a thing happens, the lower officials will definitely pay more attention in the future and try to avoid it happening again." β
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything when she saw his elegant appearance, but only looked at the time when it was not early, and then said to Lin Jinwen: "Let's go first, and then we will arrive in half a day." β
Lin Jin's head bowed, looked at Tao Mou, and found that his gaze had been falling on him, a little cold.
Seeing her, Tao Mou smiled lightly: "If Mrs. Xu and Miss Lin encounter anything again, they can directly notify the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely deal with it personally." β
"Then thank you Lord Tao for your kindness." Lin Jinwen smiled politely, but Tao Mou's mind is really so broad? Impossible, Tao Mou in his previous life was not a generous person, although he looked gentle and elegant, but such a person can come to this day as a concubine in Tao Shangshu's mansion, how can he be a simple person, not to mention that in addition to him, the other concubines of the Tao family are either sick and weak or straw bales.
Coming out of the post house until getting into the carriage, Lin Jinwen felt that his gaze fell on his body strangely, a kind of like a look and exploration, and it was like a calculation that no one would discover, as if there was some conspiracy brewing.
"Jin Wu, are you still worried about this pottery?" Seeing her pondering, Mrs. Xu suddenly asked.
Lin Jinwen came back to her senses and said truthfully: "I don't think he will give up on the matter between Ru Yan and his brother. β
Mrs. Xu lifted the curtain and looked back, and saw that Tao Mou was still watching at the door, frowning slightly, before putting down the curtain and sighing softly: "I can't blame her, after all, Miss Wang really decided to marry him." β
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, the Lin family really owes him this, as long as he doesn't be a demon, he will make up for him in the future, compared to Ru Yan, what he wants more should be power, otherwise he will not choose to give up the choice in the palace.
Thinking all the way, the carriage bumped on the official road all morning, and finally arrived at Xiao's house before lunch.
The county seat where the Xiao family is located is not big, but it looks calm, and the Xiao family is a scholarly family, and now there is a academy, and the home is even more elegantly furnished.
When I entered the gate of Xiao's house, I saw Mrs. Xiao and Master Xiao greet her in person, and also brought her two daughters Xiao Zipei and Xiao Zilan, but they are a little younger, one is eleven years old and the other is ten years old.
After lunch, I arranged a side room to rest, and the day was over.
The county seat is not big, but it is very prosperous, because it happens to be at the mouth of the river, there are several large wharves, and a lot of merchant ships have to pass through here, so there are a lot of silk and imported goods here.
"Sister Jin, I heard that there is a ghost bride here today." Xu Zhaozhao whispered, while looking at the ink wind and Gao Yu around him, he suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
Lin Jinwen felt novel: "Ghost bride? β
"Yes, the ghost bride. In fact, it's fun, someone pretends to be a ghost, the bride is a woman who looks at the excitement in the audience, which one the ghost fancies, and directly hugs the person to the stage, if the bride is willing, the ghost takes off the mask again, looks at the right eye, and can go to each family to get married. Eleven-year-old Xiao Zipei explained.
Lin Jin's eyebrows raised slightly, now these young ladies and sons are so worried about marrying?
"It's definitely fun." Xu Zhaozhao was excited.
Lin Jinwen was happy to see her, and she was willing to join in the fun with her, and only secretly told Mo Feng to be optimistic about the Xiao family sisters and Xu Zhaozhao for a while.
Soon, a platform more than one meter high was erected in front of the inn near the lake, and many girls with makeup gathered at the bottom, staring at the platform lively.
Lin Jinwen was watching the excitement outside, but she didn't think that as soon as there was a lot of crowds, she was squeezed to the front, and Mo Feng and Gao Yu were also separated from the back.
She was just about to turn to leave, when the gong sounded when she saw a man wearing a ghost mask come up to the stage.
"Ghost Bride!"
There was a loud shout from the gong, and then three more bangs.
The ghost seemed to be very shy, and he made a deep gesture at everyone, causing a burst of laughter from the audience: "This ghost is a scholar!" β
"I can't hold the bride for a while......"
The people below joked uncontrollably, causing another burst of laughter.
The ghost seemed to be very nervous, looking left and right, and finally aimed at the right person, so he hurriedly got off the stage and led the person up.
Lin Jinwen looked at the shy girl, and then looked at the elegant 'ghost', I am afraid that Lang Youmi's concubine has already intended it.
After thinking about it, the ghost unmasked according to the rules, and the people below seemed to recognize it, and congratulated him.
After a while, they stepped back and someone came up.
The difficulty is higher and higher every time, Lin Jinwen saw it and felt happy, but before she was happy, she didn't know who pushed her body, and she was lying directly on the side of the platform.
She frowned and turned around, and suddenly heard a shout from the stage: "This young lady is coming up!" β
Lin Jinwen was about to refuse, but the ghost on the stage didn't know when to approach, so he directly grabbed her waist and kidnapped her to the stage.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, she went to look underground, only to find that the two young ladies of Mo Feng Gaoyu and the Xiao family were gone, and even Xu Zhaozhao was gone.
She suddenly remembered that she had just been squeezed to the side of the stage by the crowd, and those people seemed to be deliberate, otherwise how could she just squeeze herself and the others away?
"Who are you?" She asked directly in a deep voice.
The man with the mask smiled: "This young lady, as soon as you come to the Xiao family, I will take a fancy to you, you are a relative of the Xiao family, I will accept you as a concubine!" β
The corners of Lin Jin's mouth twitched, but there are a few things that can be determined, this person is a local, and he was targeted by him as soon as he got out of the carriage, could it be that he is the head snake here?
If it is a local snake, it must be the local county order, and she remembers that the local county order is surnamed Zeng......
"Your father is the commander of Zeng County?" Lin Jinwen asked him.
The man paused slightly, a little surprised, but laughed: "What a smart woman, Young Master Ben likes it, don't worry, even if it is a noble concubine, Young Master Ben will not treat you badly!" After speaking, he took off the mask directly.
The mask was lifted, and Lin Jinwen saw the greedy gaze in his bean-sized eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched even more......
"How is it, is it for the appearance of Young Master Ben? Although this young master is still just a showman, but your Xiao family is just a poor academy, even if there are a few noble relatives in the capital, it is far away from the emperor of the mountain, it is better to follow me and eat and drink spicy food and spicy ...... here."
"That's not your turn."
Before the man could finish his words, a cold voice came from behind him.
Lin Jinwen blinked, Zhao Huaiyan? Didn't he go on an errand?
The man turned his head suddenly, and he felt as if the arm holding Lin Jinwen had been twisted off, and then a man in black brocade came from the shadows and stood in front of him indifferently.
"Who are you, dare to interfere with my good deeds, do you know what the end is!" He said angrily. His father has been a county magistrate here for decades, and he has long been the emperor of the soil here, he has been bullied since he was a child, especially this man is still so good-looking!
The girls below gasped when they saw Zhao Huaiyan for the first time, the man clearly fell from the sky, the black hair scattered behind him moved with the wind, the facial features were as clear as a knife, with a detachment and indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away, and a pair of phoenix eyes under the sword eyebrows that entered the temples were like frost, and the thin lips were slightly pursed, with a dignity that could not be blasphemed.
"Is he a god?"
"What a handsome man, I'm going to give him a baby!"
The girls directly ignored Lin Jinwen, staring at Zhao Huaiyan on the stage with starry eyes.
The men at the bottom are just waiting to see a good show, Zeng Gongzi is not to say that he is the emperor of the soil here, and there is also a noble relative in the capital, that is, the famous Dingnan Hou, who wants to get along with the Zeng family, that is, he can't get along with Dingnan Hou.
Lin Jinwen seemed to have figured this out, but she thought about it more. She said that where did Dingnanhou come from to dare not to attach himself to any prince, it turned out that there was a Zeng County order behind him to make up for him grain and grass, this rich land, looking at this Zeng Gongzi's style, his purse must be very bulging.
Before she could finish thinking, she heard a commotion underneath, and then there were officers and soldiers holding swords in their hands and surrounding them, and the person who looked like the master saw the gray-faced son sitting on the ground holding an arm that seemed to be broken, and hurriedly stepped forward in distress: "Ouch, childe, what's wrong with you?" β
"He's the one who broke my arm! Not only is he going to snatch my woman, he's going to kill me! When Zeng Gongzi saw that his own people were coming, he suddenly had enough confidence, and raised his hand and pointed directly at Zhao Huaiyan in front of him.
The master is a shrewd person, seeing that Zhao Huaiyan has an extraordinary bearing, and Lin Jinwen standing behind him is even more refined, how can such men and women be ordinary people?
only stepped forward cautiously and said: "This son, dare to ask why you hurt my son-in-law?" Where does Childe's family live......"
Without waiting for the master to finish speaking, Zhao Huaiyan had already turned around coldly, looked at Lin Jinwen and said, "Has he hurt you?" β
"No, but Zhao Zhao and the Xiao sisters are gone." Lin Jinwen frowned.
Seeing this, the master gritted his teeth slightly, and had to look at his son-in-law: "Son, why don't we go back first......"
"No, you can arrest him for me!" After Zeng Gongzi was helped up, Douda's eyes were full of anger, and the freckles crawling on his face also jumped with the fat meat, it seemed that he was really angry.
The master wanted to stop it, so he saw Zhao Huaiyan sideways and said coldly: "This is how Zeng Jiqiu raised his son?" If he does not know how to teach, the king can do it for him. β
This king?
The master was dumbfounded, in the past few days, he has listened to his own adults say, there will be a prince Ning in the capital who is going to come here, could it be this?
He stepped forward tentatively: "You are His Royal Highness King Ning?" β
"Send Miss Xu and the two young ladies of the Xiao family back safe and sound, if there is a hair missing, ask Zeng Jiqiu to come and see him." Zhao Huaiyan said that, then he turned his head to look at Lin Jinwen and said softly: "I'll send you back first." β
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, she also had to take care of this matter. Dingnanhou's intentions for himself have been exposed, and it is impossible to take refuge in Zhao Huaiyan in the future, in order to prevent him from becoming Zhao Kan's person, there is such a treasury as Zeng County's order, coupled with Dingnanhou's military power and ability, he is really a difficult opponent.
While thinking about it, she followed Zhao Huaiyan to the stage, and suddenly a group of women rushed over and squeezed Lin Jinwen away.
"Lord Wang, this is a handkerchief embroidered by a folk girl."
"Lord Wang, look, this is a purse made by the people's daughter......"
β¦β¦
Lin Jinwen looked at Zhao Huaiyan, who was surrounded by women with a cold face, and was dumbfounded, Zhao Huaiyan's popularity turned out to be so much, why didn't she see those ladies like this in the capital? Could it be that it was due to the rumors that he was withdrawn and unable to enter the Tao?
She thought about it, she felt like laughing, looking at Zhao Huaiyan who was surrounded by women, and she was expecting whether he would blush with anger.
But she underestimated Zhao Huaiyan, how could he be the kind of person who pities all women?
He saw Zeng Gongzi, who was quietly approaching Lin Jin's wife on the stage, his face was cold, his toes were light, and he came to Lin Jin's side, staring at the man with cold eyes: "Is there something wrong with looking for the king's fiancΓ©e?" β
"FiancΓ©e?"
The master hurriedly stepped forward to look at Lin Jinwen, and saluted in a panic: "It turned out to be Miss Lin, offended." After speaking, he hurriedly pulled the unwilling son away. Other women can still fight for it, but King Ning's women can't, who in the capital doesn't know that King Ning protects his wife like his life, although this is not a wife.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the women who were still coming behind him, and his face was cold: "Stand down!" β
The women were stunned, and some of them were already crying.
Zhao Huaiyan didn't care about them, glanced at Lin Jinwen a little nervously, and saw that she was not jealous, and breathed a sigh of relief, but the moment she was relieved, she was a little unhappy? She's not jealous at all?
Lin Jinwen didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt that a cool gaze fell on her, and she raised her eyes to look, and just happened to see a figure passing quickly in the private room on the third floor of the inn not far away, as if to avoid herself.
"Lord Wang, there are people there."
Zhao Huaiyan followed her gaze and saw the person who walked to the window again, so he said, "I'll send you back first." β
Lin Jinwen looked at him with a solemn face, knowing that it was afraid that it was related to his coming here, so she didn't ask more.
Soon an attendant drove the carriage over, and Zhao Huaiyan personally helped her into the carriage, and when she was sent back to Xiao Mansion, she left before she could stop.
When Lin Jinwen came back, Xu Zhaozhao and the others were there.
Mo Feng and the others came, so they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss." β
"You've been led away?"
"Well, it's an acquaintance." Mo Feng whispered.
Lin Jinwen understood, looking at Xu Zhaozhao, who was worried and self-blaming, she stepped forward and rubbed her head with a smile: "I'm fine, it's not too early, go down to rest first, and we'll go out for a walk tomorrow, I heard that the lotus flowers in this area have bloomed, let's go rowing." β
When Xu Zhaozhao heard this, he chewed his tears and nodded.
The two young ladies of the Xiao family still seemed to be ignorant, and they went down happily.
Lin Jinwen looked at this family and felt comfortable, and when she returned to the room, she sent the others away, and asked Mo Feng: "Who led you away?" β
"Helian Jing. I think he secretly followed us all the way, but he didn't attack the young lady. Mo Feng thought it was strange.
Lin Jinwen was not surprised, thinking that the person she saw in the private room of the inn was Helian Jing's purpose, to lure the others away, if it wasn't for Huai Yan's time. I'm afraid I'm going to have to meet that person alone.
"Lord Wang......" Lin Jinwen sat on the edge of the warm couch, hesitated, and still asked: "Helian Jing's master, do you know who it is?" In other words, who is the real master of the water and clouds? β
Mo Feng was surprised when he saw that she was asking this: "Miss thinks that all this was done by Helian Jing's master?" β
"You seem surprised......"
"It's not." Mo Feng hurriedly lowered his head, his face a little complicated.
Seeing that she was still embarrassed, Lin Jinwen only sighed secretly in her heart, and only smiled on her face: "That's it, it's not early, you can go down and rest." β
"But Miss ......" Mo Feng seemed to hesitate, the prince said not to tell Miss, but repeatedly, Miss almost fell into danger, will that person listen to the prince's persuasion to stop?
Lin Jinwen looked at her and smiled lightly: "I'll talk about it when you want to talk about it." By the way, the princess of the String Moon you mentioned before ......" Lin Jinwen deliberately mentioned these words, but seeing the change in her expression when she heard these words, she already knew it in her heart, and said without revealing a trace: "How old is this year?" β
"Why did the young lady ask this suddenly?" Mo Feng pursed his lips slightly.
"I just heard that she is amazing, and I suddenly felt curious." Lin Jinwen smiled.
Mo Feng saw that she didn't seem to be tempted, so he only laughed lightly: "It's twenty this year." β
"Really?" Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes and picked up the teacup. Mo Feng even remembered exactly how old a princess who was thousands of miles away was this year, and the person behind her was Princess Xianyue......
Waiting for Mo Feng to leave, Lin Jinwen simply freshened up and lay on the bed.
In late May, when the moonlight was thin and the insects were chirping in the yard, Lin Jinwen looked at the pale tent roof until the sky was slightly bright, and then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Huaiyan went to see her all night and didn't come back......
In the capital, as Lin Jinwen expected, everyone who should be ready to move began to move.
Mo Yue returned to the secluded mansion and saw that Peanut was already waiting, so she stepped forward and said, "How is it?" β
"I found out, Lin Duan will come to the capital tomorrow night, and Yan Gongzi will pick him up." Peanut said after her.
When Mo Yue arrived inside, she directly studied the ink and wrote it down, and then said, "But is there anything else?" Did you find out how he was going to hurt the master? β
Peanut shook his head apologetically: "I didn't hear about it, but this news came from the Tao family." β
"Tao?" Mo Yue suddenly remembered that it was Tao Mou who told Miss Lin Duan that he was going back to Beijing and plotting to murder the master.
"I see, you continue to keep people staring." After that, I picked up my pen and began to write.
Peanut was illiterate, and watched her finish writing quickly, before she said, "Sister Yue, there is one more thing ......"
"Say."
"The Jingwang Mansion you asked me to stare at, I heard that there seems to be more people recently."
"Jiacai?" The pen in Mo Yue's hand stopped: "She's not dead?" "Zhao Kan didn't even kill her? That's where the fun comes in.
Peanut nodded: "The people guarding outside King Jing's Mansion said that they saw the mother-in-law of King Jing's Mansion go to buy silk and satin worn by many women, but I am afraid that they will have to make offerings." β
Mo Yue chuckled: "Offerings? What doesn't exist is mostly used by each other. β
After speaking, he sealed the envelope with wax and gave it to Peanut: "Send someone to deliver it to Miss." β
Peanuts hurriedly responded.
With that, there was a knock on the door outside.
Moyue Peanut suddenly became vigilant, this is a secret base, usually no one will come at all, who will come here?
Mo Yue let Peanut hide, put on her veil hat, and then slowly walked to the closed door and asked vigilantly, "Who?" β
There was no answer outside, only the continued knocking on the door.
Mo Yue frowned, saw that Peanut was still bent at the door of the room, and made a gesture to set fire.
Peanut couldn't believe it, but seeing that Mo Yue's face was gloomy, he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately closed the door and poured out all the oil that had been prepared in the room for a long time, before lighting the fire and escaping from the secret passage.
Mo Yue saw that green smoke began to burn in the room, so she stepped forward and opened the courtyard door, but the moment the courtyard door opened, several sharp arrows immediately came.
She narrowly dodged and saw a group of officers and soldiers aiming their bows and arrows at this place, and standing behind the officers and soldiers was not Zheng Lai, who was rumored to be returning to Beijing in a few days? Is he here to raid?
The corners of Mo Yue's mouth were coldly hooked, and she didn't fight, she turned her head and ran.
Zheng Lai was a little suspicious when he saw that she had escaped so simply, but before he could order to go in and search, he saw that the room was actually on fire from the inside, needless to say, the evidence he wanted inside must have been burned long ago!
An officer and soldier came over and said, "General, do you still want to investigate?" β
Zheng Lai's face turned pale: "No need, but it seems that the secret letter said that this is Lin Luzhi's secret base." Hmph, if he can run for a while, I'll see if he can run for a lifetime! β
Lin Jinwen didn't know about this yet, and when Mo Yue's letter arrived in the afternoon, she knew that Yan Mansion was also mixed with Lin Duan. The Yan family used to follow Jiacai, and the master behind Lin Duan was Jiacai?
She can't be sure based on this alone, but it is a fact that the Yan family intends to get rid of the Lin family and the Xu family.
When Xu Zhaozhao came to look for her, he saw that she was reading the letter, and stood far away and asked, "Sister Jin, are we still going rowing?" The prince asked people to prepare the ship and sent people to protect it. β
Lin Jinwen smiled faintly: "I'll come in a while." "Does he have time to prepare for this......
"Okay." Xu Zhaozhao nodded, not noticing that something was wrong with her.
Mo Feng came in from outside, saw that she had already put the letter on the candle and burned it, and asked casually, "Miss, there is news from the capital?" β
Lin Jinwen nodded: "Lin Duan's affairs have progressed. After that, he said: "It's not early, let's go out." β
"Hmm." Ink Wind Chin.
After changing their clothes and coming out, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xiao walked together and talked, Xu Zhaozhao and the two sisters of the Xiao family were making a lot of noise, and Lin Jinwen walked behind lightly, but before she walked out of Xiao's mansion, she felt a slightly cool gaze, the same as last night.
She glanced at the plain carriage parked not far away, it was Zhao Huaiyan's, he was inside, was she there......
"Miss......" Mo Feng called softly when he saw her looking at the carriage.
Lin Jinwen lightly retracted her gaze, saw Mrs. Xu get into the carriage, and followed the carriage away.
Seeing this, Mo Feng suddenly remembered her seemingly casual question last night, Miss is so smart, why was she negligent!
She bit her lip slightly, looking at the prince's carriage, full of helplessness.
"Found it."
The woman in the carriage spoke softly.
Zhao Huaiyan's face was slightly cold: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to come to the Jin Dynasty." β
"There's no place in the world I can't go."
"String Moon ......"
"It's been a long time since I've heard you call me by name. But you don't like me to come, I just don't come, it's just that I don't want to wait too long, Jin Dynasty these things, you have to deal with them earlier. Xianyue's bright eyes turned slightly, only looking at the direction Lin Jinwen left, and only then did she see her up close, she is really a good-looking woman, but no matter how good-looking she is, she is just a skin.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her coldly, looked at the carriage that was slowly moving away, and her heart was slightly tight, did she notice it, the eyes she saw just now were extremely indifferent, as if she had denied all her feelings.
The sun was scorching in the afternoon, and when they arrived at the lake full of lotus flowers, the scorching sun was in the sky, and several people rested in the small building in the middle of the lake.
There are several private rooms in the middle of the lake, but fortunately, Zhao Huaiyan has already set one, and a few people look at the clear lake water near the window, and they can also see koi swimming around happily.
Lin Jinwen looked at the lake and pondered, when suddenly a familiar voice broke the silence.
"Miss Lin, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you on the boat to have a drink with me?"
Lin Jinwen saw his big eyes, and became more and more contemplative, the man around her is like this, does it mean that she has really become unsightly?
Thinking of this, she shook her head suddenly, what was she thinking, when did she care so much about her appearance.
"Thank you Zeng Gongzi for your kindness, the scorching sun is in the sky, I have no intention of cruiseing." Lin Jinwen refused indifferently.
This Zeng Gongzi was not discouraged, and continued: "It's okay, I'll hold an ......umbrella for you," he said, and his servant immediately handed over a flower folding umbrella.
Lin Jinwen was dumbfounded, this guy usually flirts with a woman from a good family like this.
Before she could say no, the hull of the boat suddenly shook, and Zeng Gongzi, who was standing at the bow of the boat, did not stand firmly, and fell directly into the lake, splashing a large piece of water, and the little maid of the Zeng family also jumped down like a dumpling to save people, and Lin Jinwen saw the culprit. Watching him slowly walk from the stern of the boat, the chill in his whole body seemed to dispel the stuffiness.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly got up and saluted: "Lord Wang." β
Lin Jinwen looked at him and looked straight at herself, for some reason, she just got up and saluted with everyone, polite and a little alienated.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her like this, I didn't know if she really found out, but she was jealous?
Zhao Huaiyan was in a better mood, and stepped forward and said directly: "Take you on a cruise." β
"It's too sunny."
"There is an umbrella." Zhao Huaiyan's voice fell, and Gao Yu hurriedly picked up the flower folding umbrella prepared by Zeng Gongzi.
Lin Jinwen saw that he was so persistent, and laughed angrily: "The prince has no official business? β
"Official business is not important." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her gently, no one was more important than her, nothing was as important as his sister-in-law.
Mrs. Xiao and the young ladies of the Xiao family were stunned when they heard this, but Mrs. Xu was used to Zhao Huaiyan's unscrupulous sprinkling of dog food, and secretly pressed the interested Xu Zhaozhao, and said with a smile: "Jin, go, the lotus flowers are blooming just right, and we will go in a while." β
Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened, and when Lin Jinwen saw this, she stepped out and got on the boat.
Gao Yu has made mistakes in the past few days, diligently supporting the boat at the stern, and not listening to the conversations of the masters.
Zhao Huaiyan held the umbrella firmly in the bow of the boat, and when the boat sailed into the lotus, he said softly: "Have you heard of Princess Xianyue? β
"Hmm."
"Where's Concubine Yin, do you remember?"
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen was surprised that he would mention Yin Concubine.
"After the mother concubine was executed by her father, she was picked up by the monarch of Western Xia, who was still the prince at the time. Southern Xinjiang is good at Gu insects, and Western Xia is good at medicine. When Zhao Huaiyan mentioned this, his face was a little heavy.
Lin Jinwen was surprised in her heart: "Could it be that Concubine Yin's mother ......?"
"It's not dead, but it's better to live than to die. I only learned about this in the past two years. It was Xianyue who used half of her life to save her mother, so I haven't told you about her and her mother. Zhao Huaiyan looked ahead indifferently, but it didn't seem to be these scenes in front of him: "And the most important thing is that my father's intention to annex Western Xia has already been there, if it weren't for the continuous invasion of the barbarians in the southwest border, he would have already started." β
"So the prince wants to stop the emperor?"
Zhao Huaiyan shook his head slightly: "If you want to stop it, there is only one way, and that is to seize the throne." β
Lin Jinwen remembered that in her previous life, Zhao Huaiyan did not seize the throne, but gave the throne to Zhao Kan, is it really because she is helpless? However, Western Xia is only a small country, but with people like Zhao Huaiyan, they should not be defeated.
Just when Lin Jinwen was thinking, Zhao Huaiyan suddenly turned his head to look at her: "Jinwen, do you want that position?" β
If she says no, he won't want it?
Lin Jinwen hesitated, he wanted the throne, not just for Xixia, the person who betrayed his mother back then, the person who used him for so many years, he always wanted to seek justice.
"I ......" Before Lin Jin's words were spoken, she saw Zhao Huaiyan's face turn pale, and then she grabbed her waist and rose into the air, and countless bows and arrows were shot around in an instant, and many black-clothed assassins quickly appeared under the water.
Zhao Huaiyan snorted lightly: "Is it coming so soon?" β
Lin Jinwen frowned slightly, and Zhao Huaiyan had already shouted Gao Yu.
With their heads bowed, they pulled out the fireworks at their waists, and in an instant, their people quickly appeared in the shadows, fighting with those assassins.
"It seems that Dingnanhou is also ready to move." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly, sent Lin Jinwen to the shore, and instructed Mo Feng to protect people, and then left.
Lin Jinwen looked at his back, her heart sank slightly, since the Zeng family is the soil emperor here, there are so many strange assassins lurking in, how can he not have any news, if he doesn't know, either he deliberately let people in, or these people are simply assigned by him, but since he dares to make a move, without the consent of the Dingnan Marquis in the capital, no matter how bold he is, he will not dare to make a move against the Tangtang Ning King.
However, Huaiyan has already prepared people, is he waiting for him to do it?
Xu Zhaozhao listened to the sound of the fight, his hands were itching, and he was finally twisted by Mrs. Xu and stood aside.
Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Jinwen and said softly: "The prince won't have an accident, do you want to go and notify the government first?" β
"Don't worry, the prince will deal with it, but I'm afraid that someone will come over for a while." Lin Jinwen saw that since Zhao Huaiyan had already prepared, she was afraid that it was Zeng County's order that would suffer a loss this time, and the soil emperor had been doing it for a long time, so I was afraid that he didn't know how thick the sky was.
"Who's coming?" Xu Zhaozhao asked puzzled.
Lin Jinwen smiled slightly, but without waiting for an explanation, she saw a gorgeous blue carriage not far away stopped in front of Xiaozhu, looking at the servants who were waiting, Lin Jin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and after a while, a woman with a plump body and a bun full of Zhu Hai and an expensive silk cloth came out of the carriage.
Mrs. Xiao took a look and said busily: "Isn't this Mrs. County Commander." β
"Does this lady always have a lot to eat on weekdays?" Lin Jinwen suddenly asked.
Xu Zhaozhao chuckled: "Seeing that she is so fat, how can she not swallow?" β
Mrs. Xiao looked at her in surprise and nodded: "I heard that this is exactly the case." β
"And the lower abdomen is heavy, and I often have abdominal cramps." Lin Jinwen blinked.
Mrs. Xiao was even more surprised: "These are things I heard by chance because my lord often goes to the county government to teach a few young sons, and it is not allowed to talk about these at all, how did Miss Lin know?" β
"I've got a little bit of a knack for medicine." Lin Jinwen listened to the fight that was still not going to stop not far away, and she already had an idea in her heart.
Before the words fell, the county magistrate's wife had already arrived, and the officers and soldiers with knives also followed.
Mrs. County Commander saluted Mrs. Xu and Xu Zhaozhao in a proper manner, and then said: "I heard that Mrs. Xu and the county lord of Yongle are coming, and the house has prepared a little thin wine, and I also ask Mrs. and the county lord not to refuse." β
Mrs. Xu looked at Lin Jinwen, now that things are special, she can't respond easily.
Lin Jinwen looked at the officers and soldiers with knives, and she didn't plan to come hard, they were all female dependents here, and they would inevitably bump and hurt when they moved, so she only smiled lightly: "Madame's health is not good, if you walk a little longer, I'm afraid that I will have abdominal cramps again, so why don't you sit here for a while first." β
"How do you know...... Mrs. Zeng herself was worried that she would have a pain in her abdomen when she went back for a while, and that feeling of being dead and alive would never have come out if she hadn't been told by adults to come.
Lin Jinwen stepped forward with a smile: "Madame doesn't mind, sit down, I'll take the pulse for you, if you guess correctly, Madame's disease is not difficult to treat, and three or five pairs of medicine can be cured." β
"Seriously!" Mrs. Zeng didn't think about it, but it can be seen that she swore so much, and said that three or five pairs of medicines can be cured, and she is not moved.
The mother-in-law on one side wanted to remind her, but she was also pushed to the side, only looked at Lin Jinwen with burning eyes, and said, "Then you will see again, what kind of illness I am." If you dare to deceive me, I can't spare it, even if it's His Royal Highness King Ning. β
Seeing that she intended to be tempted, Lin Jinwen did not panic, listening to the sound of fighting not far away, and bowed her head.
