Chapter Eighty-Eight: Choice

Hui Jue came back from the palace, thinking of the questions asked by the Queen Mother yesterday, he was not at peace, the fight between these concubines in the palace will not stop at all, even if he is allowed to exorcise evil spirits, he can't expel anything, and he will have to be used by those ladies in the palace to kill each other, such as the concubine Niangniang, who was waiting for him at the gate of the palace early this morning......

Thinking about these things, the carriage had slowly arrived at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion.

"Master Guoshi, it's the carriage of the princess's mansion."

He was about to get out of the carriage when he heard the little servant.

Hui Jue immediately stopped and turned his head to look, and found that the gorgeous carriage had stopped directly in front of his mansion.

He thought that it was Princess Duanhui inside, and immediately came down to salute, when he saw the curtain of the car open, revealing a face that he didn't want to see.

Lin Jinwen looked at his eyes flashing slightly, and smiled lightly: "The master doesn't seem to be happy to see me?" ”

"What's the matter, the poor monk is just strange, Miss Lin should be ...... now"

"Should I be put in prison?" The corners of Lin Jin's mouth raised slightly, glanced at him, and then said: "This time, I came to ask the master to summon the soul of the horse, let's talk about this matter in the mansion." ”

When Hui Jue heard that it was about the horse, he naturally didn't dare to delay, and he didn't dare to offend Lin Jinwen, seeing that she got out of the carriage, he didn't dare to expose too much, so he only turned sideways and let one side, and then went in with her.

The rain had stopped early in the morning, and after the rain last night, there was a moist smell in the capital.

The people were waiting on both sides of the road to see the excitement, and the eldest lady of the Wang family was ruined and hurriedly married and went to Taofu.

Lin Jincheng didn't sleep all night, and he didn't borrow wine to drown his sorrows like ordinary people, so he only stood on the roof of the tallest restaurant in the capital, silently looking at the sedan chair slowly lifted over on the street.

There were only four people carrying the sedan chair, and he frowned. Ru Yan got married, why didn't she give her eight sedan chairs?

Tao Mou didn't come to pick up his relatives in person, didn't he look down on Ru Yan? If you can't look at it, why do you want to marry?

Mo Feng followed far behind, seeing him staring at the street with his restrained clenched fists, he only sighed slightly, stepped forward and said softly: "Son, the news of your return to Beijing has reached the palace, and today you are going to ask the emperor for peace." ”

Lin Jincheng was silent, as if he hadn't heard her voice.

Wang Ruyan sat in the sedan chair, the sedan chair was shaking, she didn't seem to hear the sounds around her, she only tore off the red hijab and held it in the palm of her hand, waiting for the sedan chair to stop, waiting for the groom to kick the sedan door, waiting to become someone else's bride.

Only Tao Mou has already arranged everything early.

The little servant looked at Tao Mou, who was standing at the gate of the mansion and waiting, and said softly: "Childe, everything is arranged, as soon as Lin Jincheng appears, he will be taken away by our people, if he dares to hurt people, we just have a chance to arrest him." ”

"Hmm." Tao Mou looked at the street where there was no one in the shadows, and saw that the sedan chair was still coming, so he said lightly: "Do it for a while, don't frighten Mrs. Daoxin." ”

The little guy nodded hurriedly.

Tao Xin, who was following on the side, liked this brother very much, and was close to him, and was a little surprised to see him standing at the door all the time: "Seventh brother, what are you doing here?" If you're in a hurry, it's better to pick it up yourself. ”

"You don't have to pick it up yourself." If she wants to come, she will come. And he heard that Lin Jincheng had already been released from prison because of the horse's illness, and since Lin Jincheng had also returned, he might as well give them another chance, if they couldn't take Ru Yan away now, then don't be delusional in the future.

When Tao Xin heard this, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

Just thinking about it, the sound of gongs and drums was already heard in front of me, joy was blowing and beating, and the red sedan chair was already a hundred meters away.

Tao Mou looked at the rickety sedan chair, and finally showed a smile on his face, are you coming......

He looked at his red robe with a little nervousness, and after feeling that there was no problem, he stepped forward and prepared to greet him, but before the sedan chair stopped, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then saw the carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion stopped in front of the mansion.

Tao Mou frowned, could it be that this national teacher also had to intervene?

Tao Shangshu came out of it, he was still a little polite to this newly favored national teacher, stepped forward and said with a smile: "I never thought that the national teacher would also come." ”

Huijue remembered Lin Jin's words before, and she had no choice but to get out of the carriage, and said to Tao Shangshu with her hands together: "The poor monk observed the sky in the morning and found that there was an evil gathering directly above the Tao Mansion, and now I am afraid that it is not suitable to do happy events." ”

Tao Mou only snorted in his heart when he heard this, but his face was ordinary, and said, "When does the master think it is appropriate?" Today is this hour, but the respected host of Changle Nunnery was personally selected by Mrs. Shi. ”

Tao Shangshu also felt strange.

Hui Jue smiled and said, "Today is an auspicious day, but now is not an auspicious time." ”

"Then when do you think it is auspicious? Isn't it possible to wait until it gets dark? Tao Mou looked at him deeply and said with a smile.

"Fei Ye ......" Hui Jue secretly wrote down this pottery scheme, which seemed to be gentle and humble, but in fact it was difficult to hide his edge, offending him, I was afraid that it would not be a good thing in the future, so he only said: "Just wait until half an hour later." ”

"Half an hour?" Tao Mou has to say it again, Tao Shangshu thinks that it is impossible, Wang Ruyan is a woman with a bad reputation, and she is drying at this gate, so as to kill the prestige of the Wang family, so that everyone thinks that the Tao family is attached to his Wang family.

Tao Shangshu interrupted Tao Mou's words, nodded directly, and looked at the sun now that it had completely come out, before he said to Huijue; "Since the master is here, why don't you go and sit inside."

"No need, the poor monk still has to go to exorcise evil spirits for the horses, so there won't be much left." After that, he glanced at the sedan chair on the side out of the corner of his eye, and turned away.

When Wang Ruyan heard the conversation outside, she had no complaints in her heart, and she didn't have any expectations for the future, she just wanted to live like this for the rest of her life, and forget it.

She thought so, but Lin Jincheng was extremely distressed.

If it weren't for Mo Feng to stop him, he would have to go up and do something with Hui Jue, what auspicious time is not auspicious, Ru Yan is a woman to be married, and the sedan chair is carried to the door and does not let her in, is it not deliberately humiliating her?

"My brother is so anxious, but he can't do it."

Lin Jincheng's voice suddenly came, Lin Jincheng was slightly stunned, turned his head to see his sister, and then said, "Jin's ......"

Lin Jinwen saw that a lot of green scum appeared on his chin, and the whole person was a lot decadent, thinking that Ru Yan was really important in his heart, he only smiled and said: "Let my brother die for Ru Yan, is my brother willing?" ”

"Natural ......"

"That's good." Before Lin Jinwen finished speaking, the medicine powder he had just bought in his hand was sprinkled on him, and before he could react to what was going on, the person staggered back two steps, and then fell backwards with weakness. Behind him is the suspension of the fifth floor, and when it falls, if Mo Feng doesn't pull it in time, the whole person is afraid that he will fall to death.

However, there were many people on both sides of the road, and they were surprised to see this scene.

Mo Feng glanced at Lin Jinwen on the top of the building, and immediately became anxious: "Childe, wake up!" ”

"Quick, call the doctor...... Mo Feng continued to shout at the person next to him.

Someone looked at her in the crowd and asked loudly, "Isn't this the son of the Lin family?" What's going on? ”

Mo Feng held back tears: "Childe was assassinated, I'm afraid it's ...... I can't live. She hid her face and sobbed softly, but Lin Jincheng, who was lying on the ground, was very surprised. Although he closed his eyes and couldn't move his limbs, his consciousness was very clear, and he still hadn't figured out what Jin Wu was going to do, could it be that she wasn't Jin Wu?

The story of the Lin family's son being assassinated and falling on the street soon spread, and the people who watched the excitement also talked about the evil spirit that Master Fang Cai Huijue said. After all, it's not far from Tao Mansion.

Wang Ruyan sat in the sedan chair, faintly heard the conversation outside mentioning Lin Jincheng, hurriedly retracted her thoughts, opened the curtain slightly and looked out, and saw the two women discussing.

"Is it really Lin Gongzi who was assassinated?"

"That can still be fake, just now my man saw it with his own eyes, said that he was assassinated, and he fell from the fifth floor, I heard that my brain was broken, it's very terrifying."

"Ouch, that's unlucky, I heard that I came back this time, so I want to canonize the second general......"

The women looked sorry, but Wang Ruyan felt that her whole body was cold and wooden. Lin Gongzi, he is dead?

When Tao Mou heard these words, he faintly felt bad, and instructed the little man on the side: "Go and drive those people away, and carry the sedan chair into the mansion now." ”

"But Childe, the national teacher said......"

"I don't care if it's auspicious or not, I'll bring the sedan chair in now!" Tao Mou's voice was a little cold.

The little servants didn't dare to turn around and report to Tao Shangshu, so they immediately called the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair.

Wang Ruyan felt that the sedan chair was lifted, and her heart, which had persuaded her to be calm, instantly rippled.

She listened to the lively sound of firecrackers and joy outside, gritted her teeth slightly, and shouted directly: "Stop the sedan chair!" ”

The bride who followed the sedan chair was surprised, and hurriedly whispered: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"Stop the sedan chair, stop the sedan chair!" Wang Ruyan now has only one thought in her eyes, she is going to see Lin Gongzi, she is going to see him, he was fine last night, why did he die today? No, absolutely not......

Xi Niang didn't dare to stop the sedan chair without authorization, Wang Ruyan saw this, couldn't care much, threw down the hijab, opened the sedan curtain and jumped down.

The palanquin drivers were startled and hurriedly stopped, Wang Ruyan staggered a few steps and barely stood firm, looking at Tao Mou, who was close at hand, wearing a big red wedding robe, with tears in his eyes, and said apologetically: "Tao Gongzi, I'm sorry......"

"Yan'er......" Tao Mou's heart sank, and he was about to call her, but she turned around and ran away.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was going on or what to do.

The little guy looked at his son's suddenly blue face, and hurriedly whispered, "Childe, what should I do?" ”

"Get her back." They were already at the door, and he was only one step away from holding her hand, how could he be willing to let her leave like this.

When the little servants heard this, they hurriedly chased after them, but Lin Jinwen had already arranged for people to wait in the crowd, and when they saw the people from Tao Mansion chasing after them, they surrounded them one after another, and Wang Ruyan ran away.

Wang Ruyan wiped her tears while running, she didn't know that she had so many tears.

She ran all the way to the door of the inn and rushed into the crowd, only to see Mo Feng kneeling on one side and crying in a low voice.

"Lin Gongzi ......" She panted slightly, looking at the person lying motionless on the ground, her body fell down as soon as she became weak, if it wasn't for Mo Feng to support her in time, she was afraid that she would fall to the ground.

"Miss Wang, why are you here?" Mo Feng looked at her in astonishment, but he understood why in his heart.

"Lin Gongzi ...... him"

"I'm sorry Miss Wang, it's all to blame for the incompetence of the slaves." Mo Feng looked at her apologetically. Miss Wang is now trapped by herself, if she refuses to let go of herself, then she will never be able to be with her son.

When Wang Ruyan heard her words, she only felt that her heart was like a knife, why did she say those hurtful words yesterday, and why couldn't she tell him her grievances and heartfelt feelings yesterday.

She looked at the person lying on the ground, looked at his closed eyes, and finally couldn't hold back the pain that swept through her chest anymore, and fell on him and cried: "Jincheng, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." It's okay for you to wake up, you wake up, I promise you everything......"

When Lin Jincheng heard this, his fingers trembled slightly, and the tip of his nose smelled a fragrant smell, only to find that his limbs seemed to be able to move.

"What about you...... Will you marry me? ”

He didn't dare to tell her that it was all a ploy, so he could only ask as he pretended to be weak.

Wang Ruyan thought he was dying, so she nodded without thinking about it, Lin Jincheng was overjoyed, so she hugged the person: "I will carry a sedan chair for eight times, and I will marry you through the door." ”

Wang Ruyan couldn't cry, she waited for this for a long time, day and night. But can she?

She raised her red crying eyes and looked at him: "I...... Is it really worthy? ”

"You are my life, if you are not worthy, who in this world can be worthy?" Lin Jincheng raised his hand and gently wiped the face off her face, and the onlookers were stunned. The men were somewhat disdainful, but the women were in tears one by one. Everyone knows the three obedience and four virtues, but who has never thought that there are men in this world who regard themselves as their lives?

Wang Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and then the layers of fortresses built in her heart seemed to be broken by his gentleness in an instant. Since he loves himself so much, can he also be cheeky and fight for it once, perhaps, life can't grow old, and death can also be the same hole.

When Mohua arrived, she happened to see this scene.

She stood silently behind the crowd, looked at the saber that Lin Jincheng left her in her hand and said that she was going to pick her up today, blinked, and hid the inexplicable sourness in her thoughts.

Turning his head and seeing Tao Mou, who had already personally led people to catch up, he took out the veil and tied it, and without saying a word, he raised his sword and killed him.

Mo Feng heard the sound of fighting, and also knew that Tao Mou had chased after him, so he hurriedly reminded the two: "Son, you are injured, go back to the house to heal first, and you will enter the palace to see the emperor later." "I just asked for this marriage.

Wang Ruyan also nodded: "I'll send you back to the house first." ”

"No, you go directly to the palace with me." Lin Jincheng didn't want to wait for a second, Tao Mou would not let go easily, the best way was to enter the palace immediately and ask the emperor for marriage.

Wang Ruyan looked at him, a little worried: "Can you still hold up your injuries, and this time I regret my marriage......"

"Yan'er, my father will enter the palace with you."

A deep male voice came, making Wang Ruyan's nose sour again.

Wang Yushi had already set off to come when Master Huijue went to say that the time was wrong, and he heard about it halfway. It was he who was ashamed of Ru Yan, if she and Lin Jincheng had been fulfilled earlier, where would there be so many things today? Now as long as she is happy, he is fighting for his official position, and he wants to fulfill her.

Lin Jincheng was also surprised, but Wang Yushi personally got out of the carriage and helped him up, seeing that although he was weak but not fatal, he squeezed his hand heavily and said, "Yan'er has suffered too much, you can't let her be wronged anymore." ”

Lin Jincheng nodded heavily: "Uncle don't worry." ”

Wang Yushi looked at his daughter's red eyes, and finally said no more.

Mo Feng glanced at Lin Jinwen, who was wearing a veiled hat standing at the door of the inn, and nodded.

Lin Jinwen also breathed a sigh of relief, but I don't know if it will go smoothly when she enters the palace this time, Tao Shangshu is an old minister who has followed the emperor for many years, and there is no credit and hard work for so many years, Tao Mou is the newly promoted prefect of Yuzhou, if he fulfills his brother and Ru Yan in this way, he will be called this prefect without face......

That's it, now is not the time to think about this, as long as Ru Yan can figure it out, everything will have a way.

After thinking about it, she got into the carriage parked on the side and left.

After Tao Mou's people forced Mohua back, he rode a horse and chased after him, but he was already empty.

The little guy chased after him and looked at him nervously: "Childe, what should I do now?" ”

Tao Mou's face was cold, but he didn't say a word. Hold the reins, turn around, today's hatred, he has written it down!

When Lin Jinwen returned to Jingzhao Mansion, the horse was under the care of Imperial Doctor Lu, and her pulse gradually stabilized, but she just didn't wake up.

As soon as Lin Jinwen entered the door, she noticed that something was wrong, a beautiful aunt knelt on one side and sobbed lowly, Duan Hui's face was gloomy, and her hands were clenched together, obviously she had just done it.

Seeing that Huijue and Lin Jinwen came so late, she was a little dissatisfied: "Why did you go for so long?" ”

Hui Jue stepped forward and said: "The poor monk wants to select the white rice of ten families for the purpose of exorcising evil spirits, and he has delayed the hour, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will forgive her sins." ”

Seeing this, Duan Hui didn't say more, but only gave up to the side with a cold face.

Lin Jinwen looked at Ling Weiye, who was asleep on the warm couch on one side, and then looked at the old lady Ling with a tired face, and said, "Why don't you go down and rest first, the horse's pulse is stable, as long as you can wake up, you will be fine." ”

"But when will he wake up?" Old Madam Ling looked sad.

"The bell must be tied to the bell, old lady, this matter can only wait." Lin Jinwen glanced at Duan Hui, who was standing beside the pony's bed and said softly.

Old Madam Ling could only let out a long sigh before looking at her: "You are also tired for a day, rest first, and I will invite you later later." As for Mrs. Yan, I have personally asked someone to ask, and she said that it was a misunderstanding, and I don't think there will be any more accidents. ”

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she knew that she had repaid her favor, so she smiled and thanked her before retreating.

As soon as she left, Old Madam Ling looked at her back deeply: "This woman is really unusual, if she didn't promise King Ning, how good it would be." ”

The grandmother on one side helped her up and said, "Old lady, you go and rest first." ”

"If the horse doesn't wake up, I won't sleep. Listening to Ling Mo, the people who provoked in the southwest became more and more rampant, and I was afraid that there would be a war, and if the imperial court wanted to nominate people at that time, it would recommend General Lin. Old Madam Ling took a deep look at the direction Lin Jinwen had left and said no more.

Lin Jinwen returned to the cell, and the officials in the prison became more and more attentive.

The leader respectfully sent her back to the cell, and then said: "Miss Lin, your medicine is really amazing, after I took it, I finally had a good night's sleep last night, do you know, I haven't slept peacefully for more than half a year." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at the unusually clean cell that had been cleaned up, and smiled at him shallowly: "That's good." ”

The leader also knew that she had been busy all night yesterday, and said, "Miss Lin is tired for a day, let's rest first, and I'll have someone bring food in a while." Do you want Teng Yunzhai or Cui Mingju? ”

"Just keep it simple." Lin Jinwen looked at their courteous appearance, but she was a little unaccustomed.

The leader responded, but the cell door was not locked, and he left.

Seeing this, Lin Jinwen raised her eyebrows high, and fell asleep on a small bed on one side, even if the cold eyes like a beast next door were still there, she couldn't care much about it, running around consumed too much physical strength, and after a while she fell asleep, but for some reason, in her dream, she actually returned to her previous life, remembering what Zhao Kan had said when she was a child, she was still a chubby little girl, and she entered the palace with her mother, and saw a palace concubine who was as beautiful as a fairy, and she was followed by a cold-faced little prince......

She slept deeply, but the people next door never slept.

The sunlight fell through the window, she turned over, her hand hung lightly on the side of the bed, just fell into the sunlight, the hand was slender and slender, the fingers were like green onions, in the sun, more and more white and beautiful.

He followed his hand and looked up, just as her face was facing his side. He had never seen such a woman, with closed eyes, long eyelashes, and beautiful features like the most beautiful picture of the painter in the acrobatic troupe, and before he knew it, he came out of the shadows, crouched at the edge of the cell, and stared at her, as if he could hold her in his hand with a lift of his hand.

Just as he was fascinated by the sound of footsteps at the entrance, he jerked back into his darkness.

A short time later, a man and a woman approached.

When Lin Jinwen heard this sound, she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Miss......" The sixth child stood outside the prison, and when he saw her, his voice trembled slightly.

Lin Jinwen sat up at this time, looked at him, I haven't seen him for a long time, he has lost a lot of weight, and his face is much haggard, but today he is wearing a crescent white plain brocade robe, and the green silk is pulled up with a jade crown, if it is not for his haggard face, he is really a son like jade.

Lin Jinwen looked at him and smiled lightly: "You're here." ”

"Hmm." The sixth looked at the gentle smile on her face, looked at her sleepy-eyed appearance, a little stunned, and if it wasn't for Miss to save herself this time, she was afraid that she would be tortured to death by those people.

Lin Jinwen looked at him as if he was a lot more mature, and pointed to the prison door: "You can come in." ”

Mo Yue, who was following on the side, found that the cell door was not locked, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Soon walked in, Lin Jinwen asked them to sit on one side, only then looked at the sixth child and asked, "Do you know the person who arrested you last time?" ”

"Acquaintance." Lao Liu's face was not very good, and his gaze at Lin Jinwen was also a little complicated: "But don't worry, Miss, they won't come to me for the time being." ”

Lin Jinwen still didn't want to say anything when she saw him, and she didn't ask much, but those people also knew Huaiyan, could it be that the sixth child had already known Huaiyan?

"Then before you follow me, did you know King Ning?" Lin Jinwen said.

Mo Yue looked at the sixth child who wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Just say it, if Miss really wants to check you, she won't be able to find out." ”

Lao Liu's face tightened slightly, his mouth opened a few times, and he swallowed the words again.

Mo Yue and Lin Jinwen glanced at each other, and no longer pressed questions.

Lin Jinwen looked at the sixth child, and then turned her head to look at Mo Yue: "How is the situation with peanuts?" ”

"He's very smart, and he does everything he was taught to do very well." Mo Yue said with a smile.

"That's good, when I get out, I'm afraid I'll still have to be busy." After Lin Jinwen finished speaking, she saw Lao Liuwu stand up suddenly, arched her hand at her, and said, "Miss, this time, I am also here to say goodbye." ”

"Farewell?"

"Hmm. I'm going to leave Jin Chao for a while. "The sixth is determined.

Lin Jinwen saw him like this, thinking of the purpose of his stay in the capital, and seemed to have figured out something: "Have you found the real murderer of your brother?" ”

Seeing her guess, the sixth child was stunned at first, and then nodded helplessly, in front of her, he seemed to be unable to hide his little caution.

"Before I go, there's something I want to give to Miss." With that, he took out an envelope from his sleeve without any words written on it: "I hope you don't need this thing all the time." After speaking, he took a deep look at Lin Jinwen and turned away.

Mo Yue knew that he was leaving today, and watched him go out of the prison door before she said to Lin Jinwen: "He is only afraid of the Xixia royal family, but do you remember when the slave maid told you that she would change her appearance?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Princess Xianyue is the eldest princess of the Western Xia Kingdom, it is rumored that she is not only beautiful, but also able to fight well, which is beyond the reach of ordinary women, and it is rumored that the future throne will also be passed on to her." Moyue Road. Although it sounds incredible, it is not without a situation in history where a woman is the emperor, and this princess of the moon is not only a hundred times more than the brothers below, but also extremely mysterious, coming and going without a trace, even if someone wants to murder her, they can't catch anyone at all.

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she only said in a deep voice: "Since this person is not something we can provoke, as long as she doesn't come to provoke, we will avoid it." ”

Mo Yue nodded.

reported to Lin Jinwen about the disappearance of Jiacairen's body before leaving.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Dingnanhou came, looking radiant, and there was a faint sense of spring in the corners of her eyes.

When she came to see Lin Jinwen, she specially asked people to bring high-quality silk cloth bedding, not to mention tables and chairs, if it weren't for the pillars on all sides of the cell, it would have become an exquisite boudoir.

As soon as Mrs. Dingnanhou saw Lin Jinwen, she pulled her and smiled: "Thanks to you this time, I can solve Hexiang's big trouble, but it can be regarded as a matter of my heart." ”

When Lin Jinwen heard this, her hand pouring tea paused slightly, and then she smiled lightly: "What is Mrs. Hou talking about, Jinwen didn't understand." ”

Seeing that she was so careful, Mrs. Dingnanhou tightened her hand holding the teacup slightly, and then smiled: "It's because I'm stupid, I forgot that the wall has ears, it's just that, you first taste the soup I asked people to stew for you, you are also working hard here, you are a good lady, you have to live in such a shabby place." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at the soup brought to her by the servant, the color and smell were normal, but looking at the burning eyes of Mrs. Dingnanhou, she only smiled and said, "I eat vegetarian here, but I am not used to drinking this thick soup." ”

When the maid on the side heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss, don't live up to our lady's kindness, this soup is stewed with high-quality ginseng and black chicken, but it is superb." ”

Mrs. Hou smiled and didn't speak, just waiting for Lin Jinwen to drink.

Seeing this, Lin Jinwen had to pick up the soup and put it to her mouth and take a sip, and sure enough, the soup smelled when it reached her mouth. Her sense of taste is not extremely sensitive, but Mrs. Hou is too stupid, in order to hide the medicinal taste in the soup, she deliberately added an extremely bitter coptis to cover up other tastes.

After a small bite, Lin Jinwen felt that her hands were slightly numb.

She put the soup on one side before she smiled: "Mrs. Hou doesn't seem to be in good health lately?" ”

"Really?" Mrs. Hou asked nervously, and Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "Forgive Jin's wife for not being able to see it today, for the sake of the horse's illness, Jin's heart does not dare to mess up at all, for fear that when the time comes, she will be confused and harm the master of the horse." ”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, her eyes dimmed slightly, she was threatening herself, is Princess Duanhui still protecting her today.

"By the way, I just asked my subordinates to go to the horse to ask about the situation, the princess is afraid that she will call someone to come after a while, since Mrs. Hou is here, why don't you go and ask the princess in advance? It also saves the princess from misunderstanding Mrs. Hou and not taking the princess's mansion in her eyes. Lin Jinwen put her numb hand in her sleeve and hung it to one side, and only smiled normally.

Mrs. Dingnanhou glanced at Yahuan beside her, and Yahuan saw that Lin Jinwen's face was normal, and she was not very relieved about this soup, so she followed: "In this case, Madame should go and ask for peace first." ”

Mrs. Dingnanhou felt unwilling, but she didn't dare to act rashly, after all, there were still people in the cell next door, and the people from the princess's mansion would come over at any time, after thinking about it, she still got up in the end, and only looked at Lin Jinwen with a smile: "When you get out of prison, you must come to Dingnanhou Mansion to accompany me, now there are not many people around me who speak, and only you can be trusted." ”

When she said this, she had a reluctant smile on her face.

Lin Jinwen was glad that she had always been stupid, otherwise it would be miserable to stick a knife in the back at this time and make her defenseless.

After sending Mrs. Dingnanhou away, Lin Jinwen arrived at the corner of the wall, spit out the medicine she had just drunk, and swallowed an antidote pill from her sleeve before sitting down at the table and breathing a sigh of relief.

She said that after the incident of Dingnan Hou, how could a jealous person like Mrs. Hou still treat herself with a pleasant face.

She was thinking when a low whimper came from next door, as if asking her.

Lin Jinwen looked up, the afternoon sun fell on his face, although it was dirty, but he could see clear facial features, with edges and corners, especially a pair of eyes, black as pearls, as if to suck people in.

Lin Jinwen frowned slightly, and then shook her head: "I'm fine." ”

She finished before the whimper stopped.

Lin Jinwen was surprised that he could understand human speech, and then remembered that he also grew up with the people of the acrobatic troupe, although he was domesticated like a beast, he should also be able to understand human speech.

After a while, the leading official brought food, and Lin Jinwen asked him to re-lock the prison door, but he still didn't have any appetite to eat, and only remembered the matter of Lin Jincheng and Wang Ruyan, and only hoped that everything would go well.

In the palace, Wang Yushi stood with his head down and waited for the emperor to approve the recital, but he remembered Lin Jincheng and Wang Ruyan, who were still kneeling outside at this moment.

After a long time, Wang Yushi saw that the emperor was still sitting firmly and correcting the recital, and he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, General Lin Shao was injured today......

"Don't you distrust him, but now you feel sorry for him?" The emperor frowned, picked up the red pen and approved a fold, and then said: "Those barbarians in the southwest still dare to move, is it possible that they really want to start a war with my Jin Dynasty!" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Wang Yushi didn't know what to say, but the emperor looked at him heavily: "Wang Aiqing, what do you say I should do?" Now that the Tao family is also waiting outside the palace, should I fulfill your Wang family and the Lin family, or should I fulfill the Tao family? ”

Wang Yushi hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to pay the price for this matter......"

"At what cost?"

"Wechen is willing to resign......

"Resigned? You're threatening me! The emperor slapped the table and said in a cold voice.

Wang Yushi hurriedly leaned over: "Weichen doesn't dare, the minister just wants to wait for the minister to be demoted to a commoner, Yan'er will not be worthy of Tao Gongzi, and Tao Gongzi will find another good match......

The emperor stared at him lightly, and went silently to look at his own recital.

Wang Yushi knelt like this, and outside the palace, Lin Jincheng and Wang Ruyan also knelt straight, the scorching sun was in the sky, and both of them were sweating like rain, but they still didn't move at all.

Lin Jincheng's back was very straight, and he moved forward to block some of the scorching sun for Wang Ruyan, before turning his head to look at her: "Yan'er, I have wronged you." ”

Wang Ruyan only felt sweet and bitter in her heart? It's not bitter at all, if he is with Lin Gongzi, he still loves him deeply, and if he dies like this, she is willing.

"I'm only worried about Lin Gongzi, you are bitter."

"I like you to call me Jincheng, and I won't be bitter if you call me." Lin Jincheng's ears were slightly hot, and Wang Ruyan's cheeks were also crimson, and they glanced at each other, and they all turned their faces away shyly, but they couldn't help but look at each other.

Gonggong An was guarding the gate of the palace, and when he saw their small actions, he was also emotional, and only pointed to the shade on one side and said, "Two of you, please kneel here, don't block the way for other nobles to come." ”

Lin Jincheng was slightly stunned, looked at Father-in-law An who had already turned to go in, then got up busily, and helped Wang Ruyan to the shade.

When the emperor saw Gonggong An coming in, he asked without raising his head, "The Tao family is still outside?" ”

"Yes, Tao Gongzi is very persistent, saying that Lin Gongzi snatched his fiancΓ©e." Gonggong An bowed.

The emperor chuckled, put down the fold and looked at Wang Yushi: "It is said that the face is ruined, but now a Miss Wang has hurt several of my Aiqing, in my opinion, this kind of woman is still good to die." Come, give poisoned wine. ”

Wang Yushi was startled, and suddenly got up to look at him: "Your Majesty! ”

Gonggong An is ordinary, he glanced at Wang Yushi meaningfully, bowed his head in response, and stepped forward.

When the poisonous wine was prepared, Gonggong An asked Wang Ruyan and Lin Jincheng to hold down and said, "Miss Wang, the emperor has decreed, if you are willing to marry Tao Gongzi, the death penalty can be avoided." ”

Lin Jincheng's face turned slightly pale: "Father-in-law An, why did the emperor say this, Ru Yan did not commit a capital crime!" ”

"Not guilty of a capital offense?" The emperor came out of it and looked at him indifferently: "Isn't it a capital crime to harm you and Tao Mou?" ”

After hearing this, Wang Ruyan was reluctant to give up, but she only knelt up straight: "Courtier...... No regrets even though you die! After speaking, he only kowtowed to Wang Yushi: "My daughter is not filial, and I ask my father to forgive me." ”

"Yan'er......" Wang Yushi knew that she was hard-hearted, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

Lin Jincheng still struggled, but even his mouth was covered, and he could only watch Wang Ruyan being poured the cup of poisonous wine, and then pale and fell to the ground.

When Tao Mou was brought in, he happened to see Wang Ruyan lying on the ground and lifeless.

The emperor saw his shocked appearance and said, "Tao Aiqing, if you are willing, I can immediately give Miss Wang and you as a wife and enter the Tao family ancestral hall." ”

As soon as Tao Shangshu heard this, he secretly pulled Tao Mou, if he welcomed a dead man back, it was given by the emperor, and Tao Mou didn't want to marry someone else in the past few years, which was even more unfavorable to the Tao family.

The emperor also hesitated when he saw Tao Mou, and then looked at Lin Jincheng: "Lin Aiqing, what about you?" ”

The attendant let go of Lin Jincheng, and Lin Jincheng kowtowed to the emperor at this time: "The minister is willing to marry Miss Wang." ”

"Would you like to die? You must know that if I give you a marriage, you will never want to marry a wife in your life. The Emperor said.

Lin Jincheng choked in his throat, looked at the person who fell to one side as if he was asleep, his eyes were red: "Weichen is willing to resign and go into hiding, and only guard his beloved wife for the rest of his life." ”

Tao Mou's footsteps took a step forward, but he was suddenly stopped by Tao Shangshu, so he had to look at Lin Jincheng deeply, gritting his teeth, but he didn't say the sentence 'I am also willing' after all.

The emperor looked at Lin Jincheng, his eyebrows raised slightly, and even Wang Yushi shook his head: "Lin Gongzi, the Lin family has your blood......"

"Jin Wu is also a member of the Lin family." Lin Jincheng choked. Today, when Jin Wu asked him if he was willing to give up his life for Ru Yan, he already had the answer in his heart.

The emperor looked at Tao Mou, then at Lin Jincheng, and then glanced at Gonggong An: "In this case, let's go and draft the decree." But in the end, Lin Aiqing is suspected of snatching people's beloved wife, originally I promised you that after returning from the southwest, I would promote you to a second-class general, and it would be invalid as a punishment. With that, he turned and went inside.

Lin Jincheng didn't care whether he was promoted to a second-class general at all, and only kowtowed heavily: "Weichen, thank you Lord Longen!" ”

Gonggong An looked at Tao Mou, who was standing on the side silently, smiled, and turned around to follow.

After preparing the holy decree, he saw the emperor leaning on the dragon chair tiredly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li seems to have taken Princess Xuan and the little prince to the palace, do you want to meet them?" ”

The emperor paused, then slowly opened his eyes and asked him: "You say, is there really such an infatuated man and woman in the world, even if she dies, you have to take her for the rest of your life." ”

Father-in-law An is a smart person, and when he heard this, he only smiled and said: "The emperor makes fun of the slave, the slave is a eunuch, where can he understand these love things." ”

When the emperor heard this, he laughed out loud, and then glanced at him and said, "You old fox, it's just ......" He paused, and then said slowly in a low voice: "What is the name of Jiacairen's niece last time?" ”

Gonggong An's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "It seems to be called Xue Wenxin." ”

Xue Wenxin ......" The emperor's fingers slowly tapped on the table, one after another, until it was getting late, and then he said, "Go and pick her up secretly." ”

Father-in-law An raised his head in shock, and saw his gaze as if he was recalling his old friend, and hurriedly lowered his eyes.
