At the door of Wang's house.

When Lin Jinwen arrived, Tao Mou just helped Wang Hui get out of the carriage.

Wang Huiyuan opened his hand angrily, and swayed a few steps before barely holding the stone lion at the door and sarcastically said: "I'm not a good person than you now, do you want to marry Ru Yan?" Dream on! ”

"Brother Wang, I think there is really some misunderstanding between you and me......

"Misunderstanding? Tao Mou, don't think I don't know, I designed you that day, in fact, you already knew, so you designed mine in reverse. Let me make a fool of myself in front of the emperor, so that I will not be able to participate in the Spring Festival again in my life, and then enter the court as an official, and I can only be a commoner in this life......" He scolded loudly, which had already attracted people in the house.

When Wang Yushi came out, when he heard his words, he only felt that he had no place to put his old face.

He stood at the door and said to Wang Hui with a blue face: "You are talking nonsense, obviously you have done something wrong, how can you complain about Tao Gongzi?" ”

"Dad, it's clear that he hurt me......"

"Shut up! I have been honest all my life, and I have never done anything evil, so how can I be retributed and give birth to a son like you! Wang Yushi was so angry that his face turned blue, but he had angina because of his anger, and his whole face turned white in an instant, and he fell backwards weakly.

The little guys hurriedly helped him up, Wang Huiyuan was also stunned, and hurriedly ran over and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, please ask the doctor to come." ”

"Get out of the way...... Lin Jinwen jumped down from the carriage and ran over quickly.

The little guys all recognized her, and quickly retreated to the side, Lin Jinwen stepped forward to take the pulse of Wang Yushi, but before her hand touched Wang Yushi, she was pushed by Wang Huiyuan to take a step, but fortunately, Mo Xue barely stood firm in time.

Lin Jinwen looked at him in surprise, but saw him staring at him with hatred on his face: "My Wang family doesn't need you to fake kindness, you get out of me!" ”

Lin Jin's face also turned cold instantly, and she said in a deep voice: "Wang Yushi is in danger, but you only care about personal grievances, Wang Gongzi, you are really selfish!" After that, he glanced at Mo Xue, Mo Xue understood, and took a step forward to lift Wang Huiyuan away.

Lin Jinwen looked at the little guy who didn't dare to make a sound, so she stepped forward and quickly buckled Wang Yushi's pulse, couldn't help frowning, and immediately took a silver needle and pierced it into the acupuncture point, until his face was bruised, and then quickly pulled it away, Wang Yushi finally relieved his breath, opened his eyes and breathed heavily, which was considered to have passed this hurdle.

"Send him back to his room to rest......" Lin Jinwen said halfway before she said: "Since Wang Gongzi doesn't believe me, you can ask other doctors to prescribe medicine now, but remember not to add aconite." ”

Wang Huiyuan coldly put aside Mo Xue's hand, and then stepped forward and walked up to Wang Yushi: "Dad, I'll help you in......"

Wang Yushi glanced at him, his old eyes were red and he brushed away his outstretched hand, only barely holding the little girl's hand to stand up, looked at Lin Jinwen and said apologetically: "Thank you Miss Lin this time." ”

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite, for Ru Yan's sake, I can't see death without help." Lin Jinwen smiled lightly, but looked at Wang Huiyuan's face seriously, and his eyes were black, obviously suffering from chronic poison. Who poisoned him? Ru Yan?

Lin Jinwen's heart is heavy, and she only hopes that it is not Ru Yan.

Wang Yushi turned around and walked in, and Mrs. Wang and Wang Ruyan also happened to arrive at this time.

Mrs. Wang seemed to be a little more haggard, looking at Wang Huiyuan, who was full of alcohol, her eyes were full of helplessness, and she only turned to the door and said, "Since you are here, come into the house and sit down." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at Wang Ruyan, saw that her eyes were red, and smiled at her: "I also want to talk to Ruyan." ”

Wang Ruyan opened her mouth to refuse, but when the words came to her mouth, she remembered the letter and painting that Lin Jincheng had sent her before, swallowed it again, looked at her gently and nodded.

Tao Mou also came in, but his eyes have been wandering on Lin Jinwen and Wang Ruyan, for Lin Jinwen, it is to sigh at her talented spirit and her alluring appearance, she is really beautiful, if she wants, she can really easily get the heart of any man, but he prefers the gentle and careless Wang Ruyan, that day in the tavern, although she was stunned, but she did not forget to put a cloak on herself when she left. It may be an unintentional move for her, but for him, it is the only sincerity he has encountered without any purpose in the more than 20 years since he grew up, except for his own mother.

When they arrived in the front hall, Tao Mou waited for Lin Jinwen and the two to leave, and immediately mentioned the marriage proposal to Mrs. Wang.

"Although Tao Mou is a concubine, he has won the top three in the Spring Exam this time, and he will definitely have a good future in the future and live up to Miss Wang." Tao Mou stood in the hall and bowed, his attitude was very sincere.

It's not the first time that Mrs. Wang has heard him mention this, but Ru Yan's reputation has been ruined, is there really a man who can accept it? Could it be for another purpose?

"Ru Yan is still young, and we don't plan to choose a marriage for her yet." Mrs. Wang politely refused, but if Ru Yan was still innocent, she would also consider it, although Tao Mou was a concubine, he was very liked by his father, and now he was named on the gold list, and he would definitely have a bright future in the future. But it is precisely because of this that now Ru Yan is married, can she have a good life?

Tao Mou seemed to have been prepared, and did not force her to agree immediately, but said: "I also know a little bit about Madame's concerns, but Madame can rest assured, since I am proposing marriage by myself, it is not because of the Wang family's family background, just because of Miss Wang." Don't hide it from Mrs., since the palace tried to nominate her, many people have hinted that they want to get married, and there are families that are not lower than the Wang family, but Tao Mou is still heartfelt to Miss Wang, and only asks Mrs. to be fulfilled, I will definitely not disappoint Miss Wang in the future! ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said that it was false not to be shocked. Is he really different from the men of the world?

"Have you ever figured it out......

"Yes, I'm not young, and I'm no longer an impulsive person." Tao Mou became more and more sincere.

Mrs. Wang looked at him for a long time, and finally just sighed: "I won't make decisions for Ru Yan in this matter, but I will ask her." ”

Tao Mou laughed at this time, and took out a piece of Mandarin Duck Pei with an average texture but excellent carving from his sleeve: "It's not precious, but my aunt left it to me and asked me to give it to my future wife, please ask Mrs. Wang to hand it over on my behalf." ”

Mrs. Wang knew what he wanted, thought about it, and took it. It is impossible for Ru Yan not to marry for the rest of her life, even if the Wang family can support her for a lifetime, then after she and her master pass away, she will be alone and lonely, how can she survive in this world?

Mrs. Wang's worries, Wang Ruyan also knows.

At this moment, she and Lin Jinwen walked slowly on the lakeside path side by side, the wind blew the leaves and made a rustling sound, and occasionally a brown bird flew by, startling the petals of a tree.

"Jin ......" Wang Ruyan finally spoke, her eyes still looked at the road ahead without aura, as if she didn't feel the beauty of this world at all: "What do you think of the Tao Gongzi you saw today?" ”

Lin Jinwen's palms tightened slightly, and she looked at her worriedly: "Ru Yan, brother, he is still waiting for ......"

"I think people are nice, humble and polite, and they seem to like me very much." Wang Ruyan slowly interrupted her, stopped with a light smile, and turned to look at her: "What do you think of me marrying him?" ”

Lin Jinwen stopped to look at her, her eyes matured a lot, her face became thinner, and her figure became slim, as if she had become a big girl overnight.

"Ru Yan, my brother is not such a person who is obsessed with small sections......"

"But I care, Jin Wu, even if Lin Gongzi doesn't care, I will remember it for the rest of my life, and I will never forget it, being with him will only make me blame myself day and night, and finally drag him into my quagmire, slowly wear away his liking for me, and finally look at each other for the rest of my life." Wang Ruyan's eyes were full of tears, but she only smiled and shook her head: "I don't want this, I hope he is doing well." ”

"Ru Yan......" Lin Jinwen didn't know what to say for a while, she had never experienced such despair as her, and she couldn't persuade her to let go, after all, the person who hurt her was her dearest brother.

Wang Ruyan took a deep breath and didn't let the tears fall.

After a while, a girl came at a trott, and after saluting, she said, "Miss, Aunt Shan wants to see you." ”

"Pregnant?"

"I asked the doctor to see it just now, and I've been pregnant for more than a month." Yahuan Road.

Wang Ruyan smiled at this time: "Boy or girl? ”

Yahuan laughed: "The doctor said it was twins, two boys." ”

"Okay, tell the news to Mrs. Master, as for the eldest brother, it doesn't matter if you say it or not, arrange it, the Wang family has a small mansion outside, let Aunt Shan go out of the house to raise the baby." Wang Ruyan arranged calmly, but Lin Jinwen remembered the blackness in Wang Huiyuan's eyes. Was she really going to kill him......

After Yahuan left, Wang Ruyan turned around and looked at Lin Jinwen with a smile and said, "The eldest brother's aunt is pregnant, and she has always been weak, so I won't accompany you." ”

Lin Jinwen knew that she was giving an eviction order, and she didn't force her to stay, but only when she left, she took her hand and said with a light smile: "In my heart, Ru Yan is still the same Ru Yan as she was at the beginning, always simple, kind, smart and cute, different from other people's young ladies." I think my brother thinks so too. ”

Wang Ruyan's eyes were even redder, and she hurriedly turned her back to prevent her from seeing it, barely suppressing the sourness in her heart, and then whispered thank you.

Lin Jinwen looked at her slightly trembling body, so she had to sigh secretly and turn to leave.

As soon as she left, Wang Ruyan couldn't help but cover her face and cry in pain.

In the distance, Tao Mou looked at her trembling thin body, thinking about their conversation, his eyes were deep, and he slowly left.

Lin Jinwen left the palace, and her heart was still mixed, and she didn't even listen to Mo Feng talking to her.

When he returned to Xu's Mansion, Xu Zhaozhao was running happily under the corridor with a kite, followed by the little son of the Pingxi Wangfu family.

The little boy was dressed in a silver-gray brocade robe, and followed Xu Zhaozhao expressionlessly, as if looking at a fool.

"Can't catch up with me! What kind of adults do you pretend to be when you are small...... Slightly ......" Xu Zhaozhao grimaced at him proudly, and when he saw his furrowed brows, he became more and more proud, waving the kite in his hand: "Tell your father, let's go back and come back for a few more years." ”

She ran a few more steps happily, and when she saw the oncoming Lin Jinwen, she finally stopped, gasped and smiled: "Sister Jinwen, you are back." ”

Lin Jinwen saw the joy on her face, and then relaxed, and said with a smile: "Are you bullying people again?" ”

"I didn't bully anyone, some people had to chase me, but I was weak and weak, and I was a little broken child, so I couldn't catch up with me." Xu Zhaozhao thought that King Pingxi was going to let this grandson, who was three or four years younger than him, marry him, he was full of unhappiness, he thought that Princess Pingxi gave him such a good bracelet, how could he introduce a character like His Royal Highness King Ning, and he was also like his brother again, but he didn't expect that he was a half-grown child, and he was still pretending to be cool.

Yuan Shao glanced at Xu Zhaozhao, who was angry, calmly walked in front of Lin Jinwen, saluted in a proper manner, and then said: "My sister used to mention Miss Lin to me, and she was taken care of by Miss Meng Lin in many places, and Yuan Shao thanked her father and mother here." ”

Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly pulled Lin Jinwen and whispered: "Look, you can talk like a little old man." ”

Lin Jinwen curled her fingers and knocked on Xu Zhaozhao's head: "It's rude, did your aunt teach you like this?" ”

"I ......"

Lin Jinwen didn't look at her, but Yuan Shao, who was half a head shorter than herself, smiled: "Green Yi and I are good friends, and I should help her." ”

Yuan Shao's face remained unchanged, and said: "Before, my grandmother dedicated the flower tea that Miss Lin gave to my sister to the queen's mother, but now my mother doesn't want to taste it, I wonder if Miss Lin may give me some more?" My father and mother regretted and complained about it. ”

Lin Jinwen paused when she heard this. The princess and his wife are not the ones who complain about ordering flower tea, his focus should be on the word 'regret'.

Lin Jinwen thought for a while and said tentatively: "I'll let people prepare, and I'll take it away for you in a while." I don't know where Princess Pingxi is, but do you need to prepare one more? ”

"Miss is willing, she can prepare one more, but my grandmother doesn't like flower tea, and I will send it to the queen, after all, the queen's brother is still in my grandfather's barracks, and it can be regarded as a bit of friendship." Yuan Shao said calmly, but Lin Jinwen's gaze changed.

She couldn't imagine that the queen still had a brother hiding in the barracks, so it seems that the relationship between the Pingxi palace and the queen is only divided into two factions, the Pingxi king and his wife are good friends with the queen, but they have little contact with Zhao Huaiyan, and the relationship between them has always been very secretive, if it wasn't for the queen herself before, she may not know it now, and the other faction is the eldest son of the king of Pingxi, the current prince of Pingxi.

Lin Jinwen looked at Yuan Shao, and was a little skeptical that this child was also reborn, but his speech and demeanor were very calm, and he didn't look like it, was it really just precocious?

"I'll let people prepare, thank you, Yuan Xiaogongzi." Lin Jinwen said with a smile.

Xu Zhaozhao was stunned when he heard this, pulled Lin Jin's sleeve and said, "Sister Jin, what are you talking about." ”

Before Lin Jinwen could say anything, Yuan Shao glanced at her and calmly spit out a word: "Stupid." With that, he calmly turned around and left.

Xu Zhaozhao jumped to his feet in anger, but he tried hard to suppress his anger, and kept stroking the anger in his chest: "I am an adult, I don't have anger with children, I don't have anger with children......"

Mo Feng on the side looked at the big and the small, but laughed: "Yuan Xiaogongzi is really an interesting person. ”

"Mo Feng, you still helped him, I was wronged." Xu Zhaozhao pretended to be pitiful, Mo Feng hurriedly comforted her, and several people immediately laughed.

Yuan Shao walked to the corner, stopped and looked back, and found that Lin Jinwen's gaze also chased over, glanced at each other, and walked away.

Back in the courtyard, it was already dark.

Xu Boshan specially asked people to prepare dinner to see her.

Lin Jinwen looked at the table full of dishes, looked at Xu Boshan at the top, and smiled lightly: "Uncle, this is going to talk to me about big things?" ”

"What a big deal. It's just that so many things have happened lately, and I've worked hard for you. Your father and brother are not around, and your aunt is also busy with Zhaozhao's affairs, and your uncle is worried that you will feel bored alone. Xu Boshan looked at her lovingly and smiled.

When Lin Jinwen heard this, a warm current crossed her heart, but thinking that Zhao Huaiyan, who was still lying on her bed with an empty stomach at this time, actually felt satisfied, her family and lovers were there, this was the best.

After dinner, Xu Boshan also talked to her for a long time, from talking about her when she was a child, to talking about her mother, he choked himself up several times, Lin Jinwen was afraid that he would be more and more sad the more he talked, and seeing that it was not early, he personally sent him back, and when he returned to the room, he found that Zhao Huaiyan had fallen asleep. Xu lost too much blood, and his wound healed very slowly, so Lin Jinwen gently changed the medicine for him before he also rested.

The night passed, and early the next morning, Huijue asked to enter the palace to meet the queen mother.

The Queen Mother was teasing the son of the fourth prince, looking at her great-grandson Jiaohan and cuteness, she rewarded a lot of objects in a row, looked at Huijue, and said with a smile: "Go back and let the national teacher do a blessing ceremony for the child." By the way, now that you have a child, it is time to be crowned king, and when you look back to mourn your family, you will mention it to your father. ”

The four princes and their wives immediately got up and thanked them, and the queen mother looked at Huijue's anxious face, knowing that there was an urgent matter, so she didn't say anything, and sent them out with a smile.

When the fourth prince left, he deliberately said to Huijue: "When the time comes, it will be troublesome for the national teacher." ”

Huijue remembered what Lin Jinwen said yesterday, and he didn't dare to delay, so he immediately lowered his eyes, but he didn't notice the smiling eyes of the fourth prince.

After the four princes left, Hui Jue stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the poor monk watched the sky yesterday night and found that the stars were changing, and there may be a bloody disaster in the southeast!" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she only frowned and looked at him: "There is a bloody disaster in the southeast?" ”

"Yes, and the stars point directly to the palace, I am afraid that it will be implicated with the people in the palace." Hui Jue hurriedly said: "The poor monk dares to ask, have there been nobles in the palace out of the palace today?" ”

"The queen will leave the palace, this is an annual rule, and she will go to Puji Temple to pray for a day on her birthday." The Queen Mother thought for a while and looked at Hui Jue: "Since you have calculated it, the mourning family asked people to send the news to the queen, and there is no Li'er who summoned her back because of a star sign." ”

When Huijue heard this, he knew what Lin Jinwen meant when he said that he couldn't stop it.

It is impossible for him to vouch for his hard-won official name, so he can only wait for something to happen, but the Queen Mother has noticed that she can save some of it when the time comes.

When the emperor heard the news, he had just issued a holy decree to canonize the talents, and when he heard the words, he only said lightly: "Since the national teacher is so determined, you go and inform the city guards to be vigilant and watch carefully." ”

"Yes." Father-in-law An responded and hurriedly went to order.

At this time, the holy decree was delivered to the Xu Mansion, and it was already bright and the sun had completely risen from the east.

The Xu family knelt seriously in the front hall to receive the decree, and when the father-in-law finished reading the decree, Xu Chengqing looked at the bright yellow decree with a little emotion, and sighed in his heart, finally he was about to soak in the big dye vat of this officialdom.

"We're thanking you." He bowed his head and saluted, and the father-in-law hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Now Lord Xu is also the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the fourth grade, this is the treatment that ordinary scientific scholars have never had, and Lord Xu will do his best for the emperor in the future." ”

"Xia Guan is naturally exhausted." Xu Chengqing said seriously.

The father-in-law smiled, and then said some auspicious words before leaving.

When leaving, Mrs. Xu did not hesitate to let people go to pack a bulging purse, and when they left, they looked at their son with satisfaction, and sighed with emotion: "The emperor's gift, you go back, but you have to do your best more." ”

"The child understands." Xu Chengqing smiled lightly.

It didn't take long for Jiang Qingshu to come, and it turned out that he had sealed the supervision of the imperial history from the sixth grade.

When Xu Chengqing heard this, he was also happy: "Brother Jiang can be regarded as having won the emperor's favor in the capital, and now he has become a superintendent of the imperial history, and he has gone to various places to supervise officials, if he has merit, he can be transferred back to the capital immediately, and his grade can be promoted again, it seems that the emperor also has high hopes for you." ”

Jiang Qingshu smiled and said, "Huang Enhao is my blessing." I'm going to leave Beijing in a few days, so let's get together when we're free. ”

"Let's do it today, Zhao Zhao and Jin Wu are arguing to go out to play, just today during the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a dragon boat race under Puji Temple, let's go to see the excitement." Xu Chengqing said directly.

When Jiang Qingshu heard this, the roots of his ears turned crimson, and he nodded immediately.

After Lin Jinwen received the holy decree, she went back to the room alone, and saw that Zhao Huaiyan had woken up, so she was relieved to let Mo Feng stay and serve, and only took Mo Xue with her.

The carriage swayed, accompanied by Xu Zhaozhao's happy chatter, and several people quickly arrived at the place, but the incense here is very strong today, because it is in time for the queen's birthday, and there is a lively dragon boat race to watch.

Almost all the inns near the lake are fully booked, and if it weren't for Lin Jinwen's early appointment of a location, she wouldn't be able to come today. However, when I arrived at the inn, I heard a noise in the lobby.

"Do you know who we are? You don't know the person who is preordained, and they haven't come yet, so why don't you let it go to me? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he could only keep apologizing; "I'm really sorry, this son, the rules of the shop, I paid the full amount for the reservation, no matter whether the guests come or not, the location can't be let out."

"Then I'll pay twice the price. When that person comes, you can return the money to her, I don't believe that the Diao people here dare to get along with Sun Shilang's mansion. Sun Qiu sneered, Sun Wanwan followed to the side and slowly grabbed a strand of long hair hanging in front of her, looked at the men in the lobby looking straight at herself, and satisfiedly brushed the newly made light gauze green dress on her body, but before she could make a sound, she saw everyone's eyes suddenly turn to the door.

"Which lady is that, it's so pretty!" Someone exhaled softly.

"It's not, it's like a fairy daughter......"

Everyone looked at the person who walked in from the door, wearing a scarlet smoke long skirt, a piece of superb mutton fat jade hanging around her waist, a simple flying fairy bun in black green silk, a tassel golden hairpin on both sides, and a big red plum blossom between her eyebrows, which made her eyebrows even colder, and her gaze swept over lightly, which made people feel numb.

Lin Jinwen glanced at everyone's eyes, walked lightly to the shopkeeper, and said, "I booked the room." ”

When the shopkeeper saw her talking, he hurriedly came back to his senses and went to get the key.

Sun Qiu will not forget Lin Jinwen, but she doesn't seem to look better after half a month...... No, it should be said that she dressed up today, when I first saw her, she was deliberately dressed in plain clothes, this red color really flattered her.

"Big brother, look what she does!"

Sun Wanwan saw that her eldest brother also looked straight, and stomped her feet angrily.

Sun Qiu immediately came back to his senses, only sneered, looked at Lin Jinwen and said, "Long time no see, Miss Lin." ”

"Sun Gongzi's hand seems to be injured." Lin Jinwen glanced at his right hand faintly, wrapped in a thick bandage and tied to the plank.

When Sun Qiu thought of this, he became angry, his arm was inexplicably broken by a tile that fell from the roof, and it has not yet recovered.

Lin Jinwen saw that his face became gloomy, ignored him, and turned to leave, Sun Qiu subconsciously grabbed her with his left hand: "I haven't finished talking to you yet......

"If you haven't finished speaking, you haven't finished speaking, isn't it a villain's act to do it like this!" Xu Chengqing looked at it, stepped forward and opened his arm, and Sun Qiu's face was gray for a while, and then he stared at Xu Chengqing and said, "If I touch her, you still want to break my hand?" ”

"Naturally not, but this official has the right to arrest you and go back for interrogation." Xu Chengqing said that, then he guarded Lin Jin's side and said, "Let's go upstairs first." ”

Jiang Qingshu also hurriedly walked over and blocked Sun Qiu's gaze.

Seeing this, Sun Qiu sneered: "What are you talking about, everyone is beautiful, now so many men are revolving around you, if it is not a water-based poplar, what is it?" ”

"Say it again!" Xu Chengqing was so angry that he raised his fist directly, but he heard Lin Jin's words say: "Sun Gongzi seems to have a great prejudice against me? ”

"It's just that I can't see anyone water-based poplar and still have to set up a memorial arch." Sun Qiu saw that Xu Chengqing didn't dare to swing his fist at all, and only said more and more sarcastically.

Lin Jinwen looked at him and smiled faintly: "It's very good that Sun Gongzi has such an awareness, I just hope that when it comes to my own people, don't be soft." After speaking, he looked at Sun Wanwan behind him, and raised his eyebrows lightly, Sun Qiu and others will just talk about it, and they are most afraid of the soft and the hard.

"You-" Sun Wanwan took a step forward angrily, Xu Zhaozhao immediately stepped forward, and then took three steps back, covered his arms and shouted: "Okay, you Sun Wanwan, not only did you not salute when you saw the county lord, but you also dared to hurt the county lord, come here, throw people out for me!" ”

Sun Wanwan remembered that Xu Zhaozhao was named the lord of Yongle by the emperor himself, and couldn't help gritting her teeth: "I didn't touch your ......"

"There are so many pairs of eyes here, they can all be seen." Xu Chengqing also took the opportunity to say, after speaking, someone from the Xu Mansion immediately came up and forcibly dragged Sun Wanwan out, Sun Qiu gritted his teeth in anger, but he also knew that he was outnumbered, and he followed out.

When the others left, Xu Zhaozhao looked at Lin Jinwen with a proud smile: "Sister Jin, let's go upstairs." ”

"Okay." Seeing her like this, Lin Jinwen was a little worried that she would offend the Sun family brothers and sisters, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it in the end, and let her do those things secretly.

At this time, Sun Wanwan was thrown out of the inn, and she saw Zhao Kan coming on.

Zhao Kan rode on a horse, mighty and handsome.

Sun Wanwan's heart skipped a beat when she saw it, and she stepped forward pitifully and said, "Lord, Wanwan ......"

Zhao Kan glanced at her coldly, looked at Sun Qiu again, and said, "Get out of the way." ”

"Lord ......"

"Are you deaf and can't hear the king?" A mere soldier was still somewhat useful in the past, but now he didn't have the slightest thought. He wants to marry Lin Jinwen, as long as Lin Jinwen!

Hearing the lively sound of gongs and drums in front of him, he knew that things had already begun, the corners of his mouth were indifferent, and he rode away.

The queen and her entourage have already gone up the mountain, as usual, offering incense to the Buddha, except for the personal service and the master who chanted the scriptures, everyone else is waiting outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The queen knelt in the center, and after half an hour she opened her eyes, Yun Jiang immediately helped her up and said, "Niangniang, it's ready." ”

"Hmm." The queen answered, closed her eyes and recited the sentence of Amitabha, and then got up and went to the back of the Daxiong Hall as in previous years. There is a small gate at the back, and when you go out, there is a quiet small courtyard, which is specially used as a place for nobles to take a rest when they are tired of chanting.

After arriving at the place, Yun Jiang retreated and guarded the door, and only when he heard the man's voice inside, he silently lowered his eyes.

"How's it going?" The queen asked, looking at the person in front of her.

"Very good, please worry." After the man finished speaking indifferently, he said: "Why hasn't there been any movement until now, how long do you have to wait?" ”

"Soon, this matter can't be rushed, the emperor and the queen mother, as well as the honorable and talented people, none of them are simple, the palace can't show its feet, you bear with it a little longer, and soon that position will be ours." The queen looked at him with a hint of pleading in her tone.

The man gritted his teeth slightly: "What about Zhao Huaiyan?" What to do? ”

"When it happens, naturally there is no need to keep him......"

"That's good......," the man finished speaking, and suddenly his ears moved, and the black cloak wrapped around his body quickly disappeared into the small courtyard. Seeing this, the queen hurriedly stood up and called, "Yun Jiang, what's wrong?" ”

Yun Jiang listened with his ears pricked up, and said, "Niangniang, there seems to be a noise outside......

Before she finished speaking, a grandmother hurriedly ran over and said hurriedly: "Niangniang, someone is shouting grievances outside, saying that you killed her son." ”

"Nonsense, the mother lives in the inner palace, how can she harm her son?" Yun Jiang reprimanded.

Mama was also embarrassed, and only said: "The woman said that she was Yun Yao, the palace maid who served by the emperor's side back then. ”

When Yun Jiang heard this name, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly went to the small courtyard and looked at the queen: "Niangniang, wasn't this Yun Yao already dead?" ”

"I'm going to ask you!" The queen looked at her coldly, and all grace was gone.

Yun Jiang immediately knelt on the ground and said, "After she gave birth to the prince back then, the slave strangled her with her own hands, she can't still be alive." ”

The queen's face was gloomy and she looked out: "If she is not dead, then the person who came is fake." After saying that, another grandmother ran in, her face frightened: "Niangniang, a mob has sprung up at the bottom of the mountain, saying that they want to see Niangniang with their own eyes." Today's leading guard didn't know what happened, and directly issued an order to kill without mercy, and many people are now dead outside! ”

"What?" The queen's face turned pale, she stood up suddenly, but she felt dizzy, she almost didn't stand firm and fell, and finally held Yun Jiang's hand and stood firm before she said: "Hurry up and pass on the order of the palace, stop killing immediately, you can't kill the people!" "Especially in this Puji Temple, on her birthday.

Mama went in a hurry, but today was prepared, how could she allow it to stop.

At the foot of the mountain.

Lin Jinwen stood on the second floor, watching the dragon boat race downstairs in full swing, but she also knew that there was already a river of blood on the mountain at this moment, so she only stared downstairs with a cold face, and said nothing for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Mo Xue brought tea to her, and said in a low voice: "Miss, Mo Yue took someone up the mountain last night, and she can only resign herself to fate at this time, don't worry too much." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen responded, took the tea, and suddenly heard a commotion below, it turned out that someone had won the dragon boat race.

She glanced at it casually, didn't pay much attention, but listened to the humanity below: "This sister of the strong man's family is a palace maid next to the queen's mother, and now she has won the first place, but you ask the queen mother to promote you?" ”

"If the queen mother is not promoted, what does it matter to you grass people!" When the man said this, his face turned dark, and he smashed his fist on the speaker's face.

The others hurriedly tried to persuade him, but the man began to fight harder as if he was crazy, and he didn't stop when he saw the blood, until the strange flute sounded, and the man fell to the ground with a scream, and frantically ripped off his clothes.

Xu Zhaozhao was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his eyes, but Lin Jinwen could see clearly, his behavior was exactly the same as before Zheng Ruyi's death, could it be that Zhao Kan planned to blame the queen for raising Gu?

Just as he was thinking, the sound of the flute suddenly became urgent, and a hazy black shadow first appeared on the man's belly, and then the black shadow ran out with the sound of the flute breaking through the man's stomach.

Seeing this, Xu Chengqing didn't say a word, took out the sword at his waist, jumped down from the second floor and killed the Gu mother, and the man only widened his eyes and trembled a few times because of the Gu mother's broken belly, and then he didn't breathe.

Everyone jumped, and they heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Could it be that the matter of raising Gu in the capital is actually the hand of the queen's mother." ”

"The matter has not yet been clarified, and Hugh is talking nonsense." Xu Chengqing ordered coldly, saw the frightened Sun Wanwan and Sun Qiu brothers and sisters on one side, and said, "Go and report to the official immediately!" ”

Sun Wanwan nodded in fright, but was pulled by Sun Qiu: "You are stupid, you have to go and let him go by himself." "He won't do anything that offends people.

Jiang Qingshu looked at it and said, "Brother Xu, wait, I'll report to the official." With that, he hurried downstairs.

Lin Jinwen glanced at Xu Zhaozhao and said, "Don't go out in this room, I'll go out." Before the words fell, the person was already outside the door. She didn't expect Zhao Kan to give up dealing with Concubine Xian and deal with the queen instead, if so, the queen was afraid that she would really have to make a big deal this time.

The queen was surrounded by a mob at this time, and there were warrior monks in the temple, but they could not kill anyone, so they could only barely confront each other, and as for the remaining guards, they did not listen to the queen's orders at all, and fought with the mob.

In the forest not far from Puji Temple, Zhao Kan changed into black clothes, wore a mask, looked coldly at the enclosed temple, and ordered the right in a cold voice: "The monks in the temple don't have to stay, the more people who die, the better." "The queen ordered the guards to kill without forgiveness, causing the Puji Temple to bleed like a river, and this word reached the ears of his father, he just wanted to protect the queen, but he was afraid that he couldn't protect it. As long as the queen solves it, Zhao Huaiyan will be better to deal with.

As soon as he finished giving the order, a man in black went out with his face covered.

Lin Jinwen has been taken by Mo Xue to the back mountain of Puji Temple at this moment, they came up on the path, and Lin Jinwen also knew that there was a small courtyard that could go straight to the back of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

At the moment, the queen was only waiting for news in the Daxiong Treasure Hall with a blushing face, but all that kept coming was the news that civilians had been killed.

Yun Jiang looked at her worriedly, and said, "Niangniang, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that those mobs will really kill you." ”

The queen gritted her teeth slightly: "I'm afraid that I can't be called a mob now." This is what she fears the most, those people came with a valid reason, but the leader of her own guards actually took the initiative to give an order to kill without mercy, and now there are countless dead and wounded outside, no matter what, this hat of indiscriminate killing of innocents will be buckled on the head of the mother of her country.

Just thinking about it, a grandmother outside came in and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you go to the back door first, the slaves and maids here are stopping, and the officers and soldiers don't know when they will arrive." ”

The queen frowned, and there was already a knock on the door behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Yun Jiang's face tightened, and he asked urgently, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Lin Jinwen." Lin Jinwen said.

When the queen heard this, she asked people to open the door.

When she saw Lin Jinwen suddenly appear here, she only had doubts: "Why are you here?" ”

"The courtier's daughter originally came to Puji Temple with her family to burn incense, and when she was down the mountain, she heard the sound of beating and killing, and she was worried that something would happen to her mother, so she walked down the trail, and she never thought that she had just arrived in this backyard." Lin Jinwen only lowered her eyebrows and explained pleasing to her eyes, at least for now, she can't let the queen die.

The grandmother on one side followed: "Niangniang, you might as well follow Miss Lin down the mountain first......"

Yun Jiang also nodded, and the abbot on the side said: "Queen Mother, the poor monk will send a warrior monk to follow you." I don't know why so many people are pouring in today, and there may be innocent pilgrims who are unaware of them being killed indiscriminately, so it is better for you to go down the mountain first. ”

The queen thought about it, and felt that he was reasonable, so she glanced at Lin Jinwen coldly: "You lead the way in front." "If there is fraud, she will die first.

Mo Xue looked at her suspicious eyes and was uncomfortable, and she was even more annoyed when she heard this, she thought she was a generous and dignified person when she saw the queen before, but she never thought that she was so selfish and narrow-minded.

Lin Jinwen didn't care about this, nodded, and took her out.

Out of the small courtyard, the path was very rugged, and it was covered with dead bushes and branches, Lin Jinwen and Mo Xue walked quickly, but the queen could only hold the hand of the palace maid and walk slowly step by step, Lin Jinwen couldn't urge, she could only be secretly anxious, but sure enough, they were discovered. Also, a large group of people walked slowly in this back mountain, how could they not be discovered.

The man in black surrounded the queen and several people, and the warrior monks also surrounded each other, confronting each other.

The queen glared at Lin Jinwen fiercely, and then said coldly: "Who are you from?" How much good they have given you, this palace can give you double! ”

The man in black in the lead didn't say a word, only indifferently drew his sword and killed.

The queen grabbed Yun Jiang in front of her, and found that the maid beside Lin Jinwen was strong in martial arts, so she pushed Yun Jiang away and grabbed Lin Jinwen in front of her as a shield.

The long arrow came from the shadows, and Lin Jinwen watched the arrow coming towards her body, and wanted to dodge sideways, but the queen was holding on to her, so she could only watch the long arrow pierce her shoulder.

Seeing this, Mo Xue kicked the man in black away with a kick and hurried over: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"What are you still doing, don't kill all the people in black to this palace!" The queen rebuked.

Mo Xue gritted her teeth, Lin Jinwen only covered her shoulders and said, "I'm fine, you go quickly!" ”

Mo Xue looked at her pale, knowing that this arrow was afraid of being poisonous, and looked at the queen coldly: "If Miss dies, no one here will survive!" ”

"You dare to threaten Hongu?" The queen's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Lin Jinwen hurriedly said: "Mo Xue, go quickly." ”

Mo Xue was calm and restrained, looking at the shameless queen, she had to step forward with her sword and kill her.

Lin Jinwen glanced sideways at the queen who was full of suspicion and murderous intent, her eyes were cold, even so, she didn't talk about the Gu worm, and the queen should bear the consequences.

Because Huijue told the Queen Mother in advance that the city guards were also prepared, as soon as they heard that there was movement, they led people up the mountain without saying a word. Zhao Kan was also a little surprised to see that the city guards came so quickly.

At this time, someone hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Highness, the queen is gone." ”

"I don't see ......" Zhao Kan frowned and said in a low voice: "It should be on this mountain, let people look for it immediately, and find no forgiveness!" ”

"Yes!" Only then did the people below respond, and suddenly a smoke screen in the sky lit up, and Zhao Kan's eyes narrowed evilly: "There, kill her!" ”

"Yes!"

Lin Jinwen looked at the warrior monks who were slowly in a weak position, and they kept a single hand everywhere without making a killing move, resulting in a dozen or so black-clothed people who couldn't solve it at all.

She pinched the wax pill in her palm, which contained the best drug, and it was enough for self-preservation.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a sound of rapid footsteps, and then a group of men in black came.

Seeing this, the queen knew that these warrior monks couldn't stop her, so she pushed Lin Jinwen forward, quickly turned around and ran back.

Lin Jinwen was pushed to the man in black, and the man in black had a cold look in his eyes, and stabbed her neck with a sword.

"Miss ——!" Mo Xue shouted, but she couldn't save it.

Seeing that the cold sword was about to pierce her throat, but the man in black who did it snorted, Lin Jinwen raised her eyes and saw that a long sword pierced him from behind.

The man in black fell, and Lin Jinwen's body fell forward unsteadily, just falling into the arms of the person who did it.

Zhao Kan looked at the frightened snow-white person in his arms, his red lips gasped slightly, and his eyes were wet, like a scene where a woman was happy. Looking down her slender white neck, it has developed well, and I don't know how it feels......

Before he could finish his thoughts, a sharp arrow burst through the air, and he had to turn around to block it, but another arrow came again.

Zhao Kan sensed that something was wrong, and immediately looked left and right, and the people on the left and right immediately took their swords and went to hunt down the queen, but in the dense forest behind him, Gao Yu, the guard of Ning Wangfu, led people to kill him.

As soon as Zhao Kan saw that it was him, his face immediately sank, and he planned to grab Lin Jinwen and leave, but the sharp arrows in the forest were shot more and more fiercely every time.

Zhao Kan dodged before snorting coldly: "Why, don't you dare to show up." ”

Lin Jinwen roughly guessed who the people in the forest were, and took the opportunity to grab Zhao Kan's arm and bit it down fiercely, refusing to let go until her mouth was covered with the smell of blood.

"You ——!" Zhao Kan couldn't stand the pain, and barely let go of the hand holding her, she immediately took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground, and the wound on her shoulder hurt so much that she almost fainted.

Zhao Kan was about to come up and arrest her, but the arrows in the forest came again, and he didn't let him get close at all.

Gao Yu and others quickly cleaned up more than half of the black-clothed people, and Zhao Kan's personal guard stepped forward and whispered: "Things are not good, let's leave first." "The front of the left and right Daxiong Treasure Hall is already covered with blood, and the matter of Gu insects under the mountain has also been arranged, the queen is not dead, and she will also shed her skin.

Zhao Kan looked at Lin Jinwen who fell to the side unwillingly, if she was taken away, it seemed good to imprison her, but ......

Zhao Kan looked at the dense forest, and then looked at the bloody wound on his shoulder, so he had to leave.

Gao Yu didn't take anyone to chase after him, and only after waiting for someone to leave did he breathe a sigh of relief, and when he came to the frightened queen, he saluted: "The subordinate escort is late......"

"It's really late! Useless waste. The queen's nerves had been tense, and when she heard this, she scolded angrily.

Yun Jiang hurriedly reminded her that she had come back to her senses, gritted her teeth, and turned her head to leave.

Gao Yu looked at Mo Xue, gestured to the forest, and then chased after the queen.

Mo Xue immediately ran to Lin Jinwen's side and helped her up, and said softly, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Lin Jinwen shook her head: "I'm fine." ”

She turned her head to look at the forest, was Huaiyan coming?

In the depths of the forest, the person in the black cloak walked slowly, and when he saw the wound on Lin Jin's shoulder, he was covered with a chill, and the bow and arrow in his hand were still directly on the side, and he walked up to her, looking at her and looking straight at him, all the harsh reproaches were gone, and his cold tone was a little softer: "I said that I was not allowed to take such risks." ”

"I'm sorry......" Lin Jinwen obediently admitted her mistake.

Mo Yue happened to come over and saw that Lin Jinwen was injured, so she hurriedly said, "Miss, you are ......"

"It's okay, can you find what you're looking for?"

"The slave and maid have arrested a few people who are pretending to be ordinary people, and they have been knocked out and taken away quietly." Moyue Road.

Lin Jinwen nodded: "Well, you hurry up and take people down the mountain, once Zhao Kan's people find out that there are fewer people......

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand and knocked her unconscious, looking at the arrow on her shoulder, his face was dark, and after carefully picking her up, he looked at Mo Xue coldly: "This king asked you to protect her." ”

"The slave is guilty."

"I'm going to be punished myself...... Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently, and looked at Mo Yue again: "Let the queen's affairs be handled by herself, and she doesn't have to come to Jin's house again these days." ”

Mo Yue knew that he was worried that the young lady would think more, so she hurriedly responded. Seeing Zhao Huaiyan carefully holding people away, he glanced at Mo Xue, and couldn't help but say: "It is said that one thing descends one thing, our young lady is not afraid of heaven and earth, but it is also planted in the hands of our prince." ”

Mo Xue's eyes were faint: "It's not certain who planted whom." ”

Mo Yue watched Zhao Huaiyan's back slowly disappear into the forest, smiled, and then turned to leave.

What happened in Puji Temple soon spread like a storm throughout the capital, and everyone was shocked, after all, it was the queen who ordered the people to be killed!

In the palace, after Jiacai finished medicine for the wound on his arm, he asked the eunuch who was talking back and forth, "That's all?" ”

"Also, when the queen's people were stuffing the dragon boat today, Gu worms also crawled out of their stomachs, exactly the same as Zheng Ruyi's death." The father-in-law said in a low voice.

When Jiacai heard this, he sneered: "The mother and son of the noble people are not stupid, and they know that they should concentrate on bringing down one first." ”

When her father-in-law saw her laughing, he dared to say, "That mother, what should we do?" The silver taels given by the princess last time were almost used again. ”

"Don't worry......" She put down her rolled up sleeves, looked at her burned face in the mirror, and said, "The queen is almost back to the palace now, let's go and ask for peace." ”

When the father-in-law heard this, he immediately wanted to pick out a good dress for her, but Jiacairen just smiled faintly: "No need, it's best like this, it's best if the queen mother and the emperor are there." She touched her face, got up indifferently and walked out, and the queen had indeed become an ant on a hot pot.

Yun Jiang looked at her anxious appearance holding her forehead, and said softly: "Niangniang, then Miss Lin can still testify, you have no choice......

"Go get her ......"

"The slave heard that she was injured and passed out, and she still hasn't woken up." Yun Jiang said: "Do you want to pass on Imperial Doctor Liu to take a look?" ”

"Then go!" The queen was very impatient, but before she scolded, she heard the palace maid outside come to pass the word, saying that Jiacai asked to see her.

The queen's face sank coldly: "No." ”

The palace maid said timidly: "But Jiacai said that there is a way to help the mother." ”

When the queen heard this, she raised her head to look at her, and only after a while did she say, "Let her in." ”

The palace maid immediately answered.

After a while, Jiacai walked in, saw the queen, and knelt on the ground in a proper manner and made a big salute.

The queen looked at her and sneered: "Don't think that this palace doesn't know what your idea is, you want to borrow the hand of this palace to get rid of the honorable people, right?" The queen noticed her scalded face, and her gaze became colder: "There are many people in this world who can use this palace as a knife to kill, but it can't be your turn, understand!" ”

Jiacairen's eyes flashed slightly, raised his eyes, but changed to another kind of gaze, a look of grievance and struggle, and said with a smile: "What Niangniang said is right, the concubine really wants to get rid of the honorable person, and the queen Niangniang, if you don't believe in the concubine now, what else can you do?" When the concubine heard about the queen's mother, a Gu worm crawled out of her stomach in public, and she shouted that this Gu worm was put in by the mother. ”

"What!" When the queen heard the word Gu worm, she clenched her hands and immediately went to look at Yun Jiang on the side, but Yun Jiang hadn't received the news yet, so she knelt down busily: "Niang Niang......"

The queen gritted her teeth, turned her head to stare at Jiacairen's face, and said coldly: "Do you really have a way?" ”

"As long as the mother trusts the concubine, the concubine has a way." Jiacai stared straight at the queen, as long as you believe me, you are not far from being crushed. Compared with the noble who blindly plays ruthlessly, of course, the cunning queen is more difficult to deal with!
