Chapter Seventy-Three: Open Struggle and Secret Fighting

When the people who were blocked in the Zheng Mansion saw that the old lady Zheng, who had been hiding for a long time, finally came out, everyone finally stopped the crusade in their mouths.

Walking in the forefront is Zheng Rong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who has been in a high position for many years, and the momentum on his body is extraordinary, he looked indifferently at the old lady walking towards him, and then said coldly: "Old lady Zheng is finally willing to come out?" ”

"I ......" Old Madam Zheng was a little timid, after all, the son who could support her was not there, and more importantly, when these things came together, she always felt that someone was deliberately hurting her, but thinking of Zheng Ruyi's words, she could only bite the bullet; You don't have to fight any more, for these things are indeed done by men whom I have sent. ”

"What?" The most surprised was Lord Liu, although he was more suspicious that it was Zheng Rong, the secretary of the military department, who killed his son in order to protect his daughter's reputation, but he didn't expect Mrs. Zheng to admit it herself.

Mrs. Zheng was not as calm as them, and when she admitted, even though she picked up the tea on the side and splashed it on Mrs. Zheng's face, she said coldly: "I thought that you and I Zheng Mansion were a family, Jiaojiao was usually stubborn and arrogant, but she didn't have any bad intentions, and she didn't do anything sorry for you, how could you instruct someone to trick her out, and she almost ......" Mrs. Zheng choked up and didn't continue.

The people of Zeng's Mansion also asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that you also let people nail iron nails into the hooves of my son Xuehai's horses, and then deliberately let people pour hot water to burn him?" ”

Old Madam Zheng was slightly stunned, wanted to shake her head, hesitated again, Zheng Ruyi said let her admit it all first, and then shirk it to Lin Jinwen......

Her heart turned seven or eight times, but these people in front of her were not easy to mess with, and there was no one around her to support her, so she had to listen to Zheng Ruyi, thinking that she still had a King Jing to plead, so she said, "Yes...... However, all this was not something I wanted, but someone forced me. She was not angry at all that someone had splashed her tea, she only wiped the water stains on her face with a handkerchief, and said pitifully.

"Who forced you?" Zheng Rong asked in a deep voice, already a little impatient in his heart. Regardless of whether someone instructed him or not, as long as Mrs. Zheng did this, he would no longer regard this family as a so-called relative in the future, and they had better pray not to plant it in their own hands.

"That is, who has such a great ability to force you?" Master Zeng also asked in a cold voice.

Old Madam Zheng was very flustered, she faintly felt that what Zheng Ruyi said was inappropriate, but she couldn't think about it in such a highly nervous situation, so she could only say: "Yes...... It's Lin Jinwen! ”

When everyone heard this name, their faces changed all of a sudden, until Mrs. Zeng, who had been sitting behind, came over and looked at her unexpectedly calmly: "Regardless of Miss Lin's fifteen years old, she is just a little woman, even if she has the ability to make the old lady listen to her little girl to do this burning thing, but I heard that General Zheng Lai is about to rescue the son of the Lin family, how can she have a position to force Old Madam Zheng?" said that Mrs. Zheng persecuted her, but I have some faith. ”

Old Madam Zheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, fine sweat appeared on her forehead, and she kept wiping her handkerchief, and she couldn't say a complete sentence in her mouth.

Lord Liu also said: "I have a witness to identify Mrs. Zheng as killing my son, but Mrs. Zheng has come up with evidence to say that Miss Lin threatened you?" ”

The military department snorted lightly: "I don't see it, she must not be able to take it out, I'd better go to the palace, although Zheng Lai's corruption and bribery case is not under the jurisdiction of the military department, but he repeatedly framed his colleagues during his tenure as a general, which is really a big crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." After that, he walked out directly, and Mrs. Zheng hurriedly followed, and only stared at her coldly before leaving: "I thought that all this was designed by Zheng Ruyi, but I never thought it was you, old lady, you really acted on a good show from beginning to end." ”

Mrs. Zheng is now dumb and can't say that she has suffered from Coptis chinensis, it is clear that Zheng Ruyi taught her to say this, why can't she do it?

"No, all this is Ruyi let me admit, I haven't done it, and I don't know it. Lord Zheng, for the sake of both families with the surname Zheng......" Before Mrs. Zheng's rebuttal was finished, Zheng Ruyi walked out of the side room, her eyes red as if she had just cried.

She stepped forward and knelt in front of Zheng Shangshu, crying: "My lord, grandmother is inevitably confused when she is old, you should do these things as Ruyi, grab Ruyi and ask for the guilt, don't tell the emperor, please." ”

She cried sincerely, but she only said that the old lady was confused for a while, so didn't she really admit these things for her?

Old Madam Zheng hurriedly pulled her up and said, "Ruyi, what nonsense are you talking about, when have I done such a thing, aren't these all what you asked me to say?" ”

Zheng Ruyi didn't argue, only sobbed lowly: "Grandmother, it's all Ruyi's fault, Ruyi should admit it for you, and you should have stopped your ...... at that time."

"Your own granddaughter has admitted it for you, and you still want to talk back? Old Madam Zheng, aren't you all fools when we are? Master Zeng looked at her sarcastically.

Old Madam Zheng really couldn't pour out the bitter water in her stomach, so she could only shake her head: "I really didn't do this, I was in the room last night and never went out." After speaking, he suddenly understood, and immediately pointed at Zheng Ruyi: "Last night, I wondered why you didn't return overnight, Ruyi, is it ...... you?"

"Grandmother, it's okay if you say anything, Ruyi will confess for you." Zheng Ruyi sobbed.

In the eyes of everyone, this matter was done by Mrs. Zheng, and it is already an ironclad fact.

Not long after, the official messenger from outside came, together with the Marquis of Dingnan, and also brought the emperor's message.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, ordering Zheng Rong and Jing Zhaoyin, the secretary of the military department, to personally investigate this matter thoroughly, if it is true, it should be severely punished!" Dingnanhou said, only then did he look at Zheng Ruyi, who was kneeling on one side and crying pitifully, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zheng Ruyi also noticed his gaze, looked up with a full gaze, met his eyes, and instantly knew that he felt that he was beautiful and amazing, because she had seen too many men like this, but the purest was only Lin Jincheng......

She gritted her teeth secretly, lowered her head and did not speak.

Old Madam Zheng was blinded, and hurriedly knelt down and pulled his clothes and said, "Master Hou, the courtiers really haven't done such a thing, it's all Ruyi She instructed me to say this......"

"You said it was Lin Jinwen who threatened you at one time, and then said that it was your own granddaughter who threatened you, Mrs. Zheng, I think you are old and confused, it is better to go to the Jingzhao Mansion prison to sober up and make a decision." After Zheng Rong finished speaking, he glanced at Zheng Ruyi, who was sobbing with drooping eyes, and then waved his hand: "Come on, send her to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

"Yes." Immediately, a messenger came up and escorted Mrs. Zheng, who was still crying and howling, to go out.

Zheng Ruyi was still begging them to pull him to blame, but the more he said this, the less likely it was for everyone to do so.

Before leaving, Zheng Rong took a step behind and looked at her coldly: "Zheng Ruyi, I am just this daughter, I am like a jewel, she will not have an accident next time, right?" ”

Zheng Ruyi's heart was slightly shocked, knowing that he was doubting himself, but he only smiled bitterly: "Jiaojiaofu has a big life, and nothing will happen." Ruyi really envies Jiaojiao for having a father who loves her like this. ”

Zheng Rong glanced at her lightly: "You can also marry very well, be a side concubine to King Jing, and enjoy the same glory and wealth, but you have to remember that if you walk too much at night, you will always meet ghosts." After saying that, he turned away indifferently.

As soon as he left, Zheng Ruyi slowly took the maid's hand and got up, seeing that the huge Zheng Mansion now belonged to her alone, and her mood was inexplicably better, but suddenly she felt nauseous in her stomach, and she retched directly on one side.

The news of Mrs. Zheng's arrest spread quickly, and Lin Jinwen had just returned to the courtyard after dinner in Xu's Mansion when she heard these news coming from someone.

"She actually admitted that she did it herself?"

"I heard that she first admitted it and wanted to slander you, but everyone didn't believe it, so she changed her story and slandered her own granddaughter, saying that she instigated herself to say that, but in the end, no one believed it, so she was taken directly to prison." After Ah Bao finished speaking, he quietly looked at her and said, "Miss, do you think this matter will involve you?" ”

"No, she's a smart person." Zheng Ruyi knew that it was absolutely impossible to kill two birds with one stone based on such a little evidence, so she wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of her biggest opponent first, that is, Mrs. Zheng, who hindered her everywhere.

Ah Bao didn't understand, but seeing that Lin Jin's face was tired, he didn't ask any more, and only gave her hot water for bathing.

Lin Jinwen still didn't understand what Concubine De had quietly smeared on the back of her hand today, so she couldn't be sure if the piranha was really related to her, but she thought that there were already people in the palace who were going to be punished.

When the queen heard about this, she knew that someone had calculated herself, and only whispered a few words to Yun Jiang, who rushed back from Concubine De, and received a summons from the queen mother.

The Queen Mother also passed on Concubine De.

When she arrived at the Queen Mother's Palace, Mrs. Luo coughed lightly, her expression looked good, and when she saw the queen coming, she also got up and saluted: "I have seen the queen mother, Concubine De Niangniang." ”

"The old lady doesn't need to be polite, I heard that you are not well, but now you are better?" The queen did not show any nervousness, and only asked dignified and considerate.

Mrs. Luo smiled gratefully: "I'm still bothering my mother, the courtier's body is much better, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to the palace, and the provincial queen mother will be upset." The intimacy that Mrs. Luo said shows her relationship with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile, with a little smile in her eyes, and said: "Okay, you are also an old bone, you should be tired after tossing back and forth for a day, go back and rest early, the mourning family will consider what you said." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." When Mrs. Luo saw her say this, she knew that eighty percent was done, and she hurriedly saluted again, so she withdrew.

The Queen Mother looked at Huijue on the side, and her attitude was much better: "Master Huijue should also go down and rest first." ”

Huijue naturally didn't dare to stay longer, so he bowed and left.

As soon as they left, the smile on the queen mother's face slowly faded, looked at the people waiting around her, and said, "Everyone retreats, and the queen concubine stays." ”

When the queen heard this, her heart lifted slightly.

After the palace people left, without waiting for the queen mother to speak, the queen had already opened her mouth first: "This time the piranha matter is negligent on the part of the concubine." ”

The Queen Mother took a deep look at her, then looked at Concubine De who was following behind, and said, "Concubine De, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Concubine De was not as serious as the queen, but smiled slightly: "The concubine is still happy, fortunately it was only one of the concubines who died, if it was the concubine in the palace or Miss Lin today, how sad should the queen mother be?" ”

"That's what Sister Concubine De said." The queen didn't look at her: "Fortunately, Concubine De's sister had the foresight to send her maid to send Miss Lin to the bridge, otherwise the palace would not know that there is such a murderous thing in this reasonable way." ”

When Concubine De heard this, she was immediately a little annoyed, she meant that her own people estimated that Lin Jinwen had been lured over?

She immediately sneered: "What do you mean, what do you mean, this piranha was brought in by my sister?" But during this time, except for Princess Duanhui and Kan'er, I haven't seen any strangers outside, unlike Sister Queen, I heard that your relatives from the southwest came two days ago? ”

"She's just here to ......"

"Alright." The Queen Mother glanced at them, and was slightly dissatisfied: "The mourning family asked you to serve the emperor, not for you to intrigue, although the mourning family knows that intrigue is indispensable in this harem, but one of you is the queen, and the other is the concubine, you should take good care of the harem so as not to worry the emperor, and now you are playing tricks in front of the mourning family, should you be blind to the mourning family?" ”

The Queen Mother said this seriously, and the two immediately knelt down.

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Since the queen and Concubine De can't manage this harem well, then from now on, Concubine Jia will replace Concubine De to assist in the six palaces, and the queen will be grounded for three days to think about it." ”

The queen gritted her teeth slightly, did not dare to refuse, and obediently responded.

Concubine De still has to fight, the power of the assistant six palaces is not only to manage things, but also a symbol of status, why did the queen mother give the inconspicuous emperor and don't like the concubine?

The Queen Mother had already made up her mind, and she didn't want to say more, so she sent people out directly.

Concubine De came out of the Queen Mother's Palace, and then looked at the queen's back and smiled sarcastically: "I didn't expect that we had been fighting for a long time, but we made Concubine Jia a fisherman." ”

"Everyone in the harem is wearing a mask, not Jia Concubine, but also someone else, Concubine De's sister has been sitting in the position of the head of the four concubines for so long and still doesn't understand? However, Concubine Jia is also an old man in the palace, and now that the queen of heaven likes to let her associate with the sixth palace, it is time to be promoted to a concubine. After that, he set up a sedan chair and went directly to the emperor's heart cultivation hall.

Concubine De was so angry that the powder on her face fell, and the palace maid on one side stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, why don't we let the Xiong family help." ”

Concubine De glanced at her, but she snorted, she thought that not only did she fail to attack Lin Jinwen, but she also provoked a commotion, so she walked away directly.

The night gradually darkened, and the people walking through the palace had already spread the news outside the palace, and soon all the forces in the capital knew about it.

Lin Jinwen looked at the person who was sitting on the side of the warm couch waiting for him to change the dressing, and saw that his wound seemed to be bigger, and wrinkled her eyebrows slightly: "The wound will crack again, but it will really leave a scar." She said as she smeared the wound with medicine.

Zhao Huaiyan looked at her gently and said, "Go out with me for a while." ”

"Where?"

"See someone." He paused for a moment, but said.

Lin Jinwen knew his temperament, so she didn't ask, slowly bandaged his wounds, and saw that he had changed his clothes, so she took a black cloak and put it on, and went out with him.

Today, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, the streets were so dark that they could not see their fingers, and a spring rain had drenched them, and the horses stepped on the stagnant water in the puddles, splashing a splash, startling the dogs on the side of the road and screaming.

Lin Jinwen sat in front of the horse, leaned back slightly in front of his chest and hid in his cloak, smelling the smell of mud and flowers in the air after the spring rain, and quickly walked forward with peace of mind.

The horses had been running through the city for nearly half an hour before they finally came to a stop in front of an unusually ordinary-looking teahouse.

When the old tea seller heard the sound, he walked out with a lantern, staggered to see the person coming, looked surprised, and stood on the side respectfully.

"Helian Jing is inside?" Zhao Huaiyan said coldly.

"Yes." The old man responded, looking at Lin Jinwen in his arms with complicated eyes, but he didn't say much.

Zhao Huaiyan turned over and dismounted, turned around and picked up Lin Jin's wife again, and then said to the old man: "Lead me to see him." ”

The old man saw that Zhao Huaiyan was really so considerate to a woman as rumored, no wonder the master would find it in person.

He answered, looked at Lin Jin's wife, who was almost completely tucked in the black cloak, through the afterglow of the lantern, and quickly turned around and walked inside.

Lin Jinwen knew that Zhao Huaiyan must know Helian Jing, but Helian Jing was the acting pavilion master of the famous Shuiyun Room, how could he dare to come alone like this? And this old man who sells tea seems to be Helian Jing's person, but he is just as respectful to Zhao Huaiyan.

With a stomach full of questions, she walked through a plum forest, looked at the carved beams and paintings that suddenly appeared in front of her, and was stunned, there was such a delicate place hidden behind the simple tea house.

"Cao Weng, didn't I say don't bother me, who did you lead?"

Helian Jing's voice was accompanied by the sound of a curling piano.

The old tea seller didn't respond, and only led Zhao Huaiyan to the door, and then stopped and stepped aside.

Zhao Huaiyan's phoenix eyes were cold, and he walked in directly, Lin Jinwen followed quickly, and when she entered the room, she smelled a very strong smell of fat powder, and the white light gauze hung all over the room, and the graceful women only wore a thin light gauze to wait for tea and wine inside, and Helian Jing, who had not been seen for a long time, was dressed in white and leaned softly on the maid playing the piano on the side, holding a wine glass in her hand, her eyes were blank.

When the women saw the visitor, they didn't mess up at all, Helian Jing didn't raise his eyelids, and poured down the wine before saying, "Cao Weng, who did you recruit, the new beauty......

"Look at it, don't you know?" Zhao Huaiyan said in a cold voice, Helian Jing's eyes suddenly widened, and the wine glass in his hand was instantly thrown in the direction of Zhao Huaiyan, but Zhao Huaiyan shot faster, and hit the wine glass back with his backhand, directly hitting Helian Jing's head.

He was dizzy, and before he could speak, Zhao Huaiyan had already flashed in front of him and threw him out of the window.

Seeing this, the maids quickly made a gesture of wanting to move, but they heard Helian Jing scolding outside the window: "You all don't want to die?" Get out. ”

The maids hesitated slightly, but withdrew their hands and retreated.

Lin Jinwen walked in at this time, looking at Helian Jing who walked in from the main gate in embarrassment, and saw that although he was angry, there was no killing intent in his eyes, which was even more strange.

He looked at Lin Jinwen, understood, looked at Zhao Huaiyan and said, "You won't lose face to me like this for a woman, I'm also the acting pavilion master." ”

"I warned you not to see her." Zhao Huaiyan's thin lips were slightly pursed, and the murderous aura overflowed.

Helian Jing gritted his teeth and was very angry: "You wiped out my village, I'll see her talk to her, do you want to kill me?" ”

"You deserve it." Zhao Huaiyan snorted coldly and arrogantly, and turned his head to look at Lin Jinwen: "What do you want to do with him?" ”

When Helian Jing heard this, he was busy and said, "I went to see her last time to protect her, you don't know who came to the capital......

Zhao Huaiyan's brows twisted slightly, and then he looked at him: "What is your purpose, you know it in your heart." Next time, let the king see you near, and all the things promised to you before will be nullified. After that, he pulled Lin Jinwen to take a step and was about to leave, but was stopped by Helian Jing.

Helian Jing's face was a little dark, as if he was angry and unwilling: "You shouldn't treat her like this, she ...... for you"

"How much do you know about me and her?" Zhao Huaiyan looked at him coldly.

Helian Jing seemed to be angry: "What about me? You promised me that as long as you finish your own business, you will leave the Jin Dynasty...... And this Miss Lin, is she really suitable for you? She's just a good young lady raised in a deep boudoir, can she endure hardships with you? ”

Lin Jinwen glanced at him lightly, and grabbed Zhao Huaiyan's hand tighter: "Jun's heart is like my heart, and it will definitely live up to my love." ”

The coldness in Zhao Huaiyan's eyes instantly turned into tenderness, and the gaze that looked at Helian Jing was also a little arrogant: "Remember the words of this king." With that, he took Lin Jinwen and walked away.

Coming out of the courtyard, Lin Jinwen's cheeks were slightly hot, saying such things was indeed her intention, but since she was reborn, there has been less time to express her heart like this, and now she will feel ashamed to say it.

Zhao Huaiyan was in a good mood, and personally hugged her on the horse, and then led the horse forward for her below: "The horse is bumpy, your skin is delicate, don't hurt it." ”

"And how long will it take to get home?"

"Worried about not being able to go back?" Zhao Huaiyan asked her.

Lin Jin's eyes crooked: "Since the prince is here, why don't you go back." ”

"May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night will be bright and clean." The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's mouth naturally curved, and Lin Jinwen saw the corners of his mouth raised as if she had discovered a new continent, and said with a grin: "The prince smiled." ”

"Really?" Zhao Huaiyan's smile was habitually accepted, but looking at her star-like eyes, the love in her heart was even greater, she turned over on the horse, held her little face and kissed it deeply.

Helian Jing stood on the street and watched the two leave with a smile, only sighed slightly in his heart, and looked at Cao Weng on the side: "This matter doesn't have to be reported." ”

"Yes." Cao Weng lowered his eyes, and Helian Jing frowned and returned to the room.

The night passed.

Zhao Kan slept very late last night, and when he didn't wake up, he heard a sound outside, and when he opened his eyes slightly, he found that the maid was hesitant to approach, and couldn't help but be a little impatient: "What's the matter?" ”

The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Someone sent this in the middle of the night last night. With that, hand over a bloodstained box.

Zhao Kan only glanced at it, then immediately got up, took the box and looked back at the concubine who was still sleeping, and said in a deep voice: "Get out!" ”

The concubine was frightened awake by the scolding, and seeing that he was angry, she didn't dare to stop and get dressed, so she ran barefoot with only her belly pocket and her clothes.

When the people left, Zhao Kan opened the box and looked at it, and then immediately said, "Go and ask Qu Kong to come." ”

Yahuan immediately responded, and before she turned her head to go out, someone rushed outside and knelt directly on the ground: "Lord Wang, Qukong is missing." ”

"How can it be missing, can't you even look at a big living person?" Zhao Kan threw the box in his hand to the ground, and a head rolled out, which was the secret guard he used to keep an eye on the Zheng Mansion.

The little guy shook his head, but said: "We are well guarded, and it is impossible for us to be taken away, I am afraid that we will leave by ourselves." ”

Zhao Kan's face was even more gloomy: "Bastard, he hasn't finished refining his Gu yet, how can he leave by himself, eighty percent of them were deceived by someone." ”

The little servant took out a square scarf from his sleeve and gave it to him: "This is what the subordinates found outside the house." fell in the corner, even if anyone came to find it. ”

"Is it a woman? Lin Jinwen? Zhao Kan shook his head, if it was Lin Jinwen, Qukong would not go out at all, and he had a bone flute in his hand, and if he was in distress, he would also play the flute, then the person who could take him away must be the one he knew and cared about, as far as he knew, there was only one person, Zheng Ruyi, who had a Gu mother hidden in his stomach!

"Where is Zheng Ruyi now?" He asked in a cold voice.

The little maid said: "She personally sent Mrs. Zheng to the prison, and she is still in the house." ”

Zhao Kan's teeth tightened slightly: "Find her for me immediately!" Zheng Ruyi seems to be delicate, but in fact she has a lot of means, if she did it, he also has reason to believe that after all, she was so ruthless that she sent her grandmother to prison and ruined her father's future.

The little guy responded and hurriedly went down with the news.

Outside King Jing's Mansion, Gao Yu saw the little guy walking in the direction of Zheng Mansion from a distance, so he covered the bloody wound on his neck that was bitten by Gu worms, looked at the gray-clothed man who was knocked unconscious and thrown in the pile of debris in the alley, kicked away his bone flute that had already been trampled on, and reluctantly carried him to the depths of the alley.

When Lin Jinwen woke up in the morning, she was in her own bed, remembering that she left with Gao Yu after Zhao Huaiyan sent her back last night, and only a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Mo Feng came back early in the morning and was not injured, because the operation to Zeng's mansion last night was unusually smooth, not only did she want Zeng Xuehai to die, but Zeng Xuehai's aunt who was redeemed from the Qinglou also thought that even the ginseng slices were also put in by her when Ye Ling was not paying attention.

When she told Lin Jinwen about this, she still felt strange: "That aunt bullied Miss Wang very much during the day, and she killed her at night, and the slave and maid didn't see anyone buying her." ”

Lin Jinwen had no influence on this aunt, but she remembered that there was a famous Oiran, and later, just like in the book, the beauty fell in love with a poor scholar, but was broken up by a rich son, could it be her?

"Now that it's done, don't worry about it." Lin Jinwen drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl before breathing a sigh of relief: "We should also go to see Ru Yan today." ”

Mo Feng bowed: "Miss Wang has a knot, and if she doesn't untie it, I'm afraid that something will happen." ”

Lin Jinwen thought of Wang Huiyuan, tomorrow is spring, will he still be in the top four like in his previous life?

The old lady of the Zeng family was tired in the morning, and when she thought of the only sister-in-law under her knees lying on the bed covered in injuries, she longed to pick off the skin of the old lady Zheng.

The two had breakfast in the morning, and they saw Zeng Xuehai's Aunt Die running over crying with weak legs and feet.

Master Zeng had a hot temper, and knew that she was snatched back from the Qinglou by Zeng Xuehai back then, so he became more and more disliked, and immediately slapped the table: "Crying and crying like this, what kind of system!" ”

"No, sir, it's the husband......" She fell to her knees crying, tears falling down like beads of broken thread.

"What's wrong with Xuehai?" Mrs. Zeng was quite calm, and she trembled slightly when she asked her.

"It's almost gone......" Aunt Die cried and finished speaking, Master Zeng and Mrs. Zeng immediately felt dizzy, and they didn't bother to ask, and hurriedly rushed to Zeng Xuehai's yard, but they didn't notice that they had just left, Aunt Die put away all her sadness, lowered her head and touched her stomach, and the corners of her mouth were desolate.

When Master Zeng arrived, Zeng Xuehai was indeed dying, because of allergies, he felt that his whole body was itching and unbearable, so he reached out to scratch it, but he scratched all the huge blisters on his body. He wanted to cry out in pain, but because he had taken dumb medicine, he couldn't say a word at all, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

When Mrs. Zeng came, she saw that the blisters on his body had burst, revealing the pink and white flesh inside, and she was so frightened that she immediately screamed, pounced on him and began to cry.

Master Zeng was busy asking people to invite a doctor, but the doctor had already invited him, but Zeng Xuehai couldn't.

He stared at Master Zeng with hideous eyes, but his hand was tightly pinched as if he was about to suffocate, and his mouth kept repeating the mouth shape of 'save me', and finally he didn't catch his breath, and as soon as his hand was released, he completely lost his breath.

The doctor just came, but he didn't have the skills to go back.

He glanced at the overturned soup next to the bed, went down and sniffed it, tasted it again, and then said in horror: "Who added ginseng to this medicine, Gongzi is allergic to ginseng, but he can't eat something terrible!" ”

When Ye Ling heard this, her legs were so weak that she almost fell, and the medicine she was staring at personally did not let go of ginseng.

"It's not me......" She was so frightened that she turned pale and retreated again and again, but Master Zeng only looked at her with red eyes: "You still said that it wasn't you, you kept staring at yesterday's medicine, and you brought it to feed it alone!" ”

"It's really not me, how could I kill my husband, once he dies, what's the benefit for me......" Ye Ling cried, seeing that his face was a little hesitant, and was about to say that Aunt Die had also come last night, but before the words were spoken, I heard that someone came to report that Aunt Die had committed suicide.

Ye Ling's mind began to buzz and remember, Aunt Die was arrogant and sarcastic with herself yesterday, why did she commit suicide today?

"And ......" the mother-in-law was very hesitant.

Mrs. Zeng looked at her impatiently: "What else?" ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Aunt Die has a child in her belly, and it has been three months. ”

"What?" When Master Zeng heard this, he immediately turned his head to stare at Ye Ling, and said coldly: "Come on, drag her down for me and beat her to death!" ”

"No, sir, it's none of my business, it's not me who kills ......"

No matter how Ye Ling explained, no one wanted to listen to her, a son and a grandson died, and Master Zeng was already so angry that he was irrational.

When Lin Jinwen went to the palace, she deliberately passed by Zeng's mansion and saw that the people were busy hanging up the white silk, so she knew that the person was dead.

When leaving, I saw a man in his thirties wandering in front of the mansion, dressed in a washed white brown coat, with a blue beard on his chin that should have just been repaired, and he looked polite, and kept talking to the people of Zeng's mansion until the little girl impatiently threw out a sentence: "Aunt Die is martyred, you go, you don't have to come to her again." ”

The little girl's words fell, the man seemed to be old in an instant, his waist was stiffened, and his eyes full of anticipation became hollow, and he staggered forward two steps, then knelt on the ground and cried: "Dieniang, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you......"

Lin Jinwen looked at where he beat his chest, and her heart was inexplicably sour, she thought that the words of the talented and beautiful woman were just words, but now that she thinks about it, it is true.

"Miss......" Mo Feng also moved his heart of compassion.

Lin Jinwen just shook her head slightly: "It's better to mourn than to die, you go and ask him if he still wants to get famous, if you don't want to, give him two silver taels and let him leave." ”

When Mo Feng heard this, he immediately took the silver and went, but after the man cried, he didn't say anything, and he didn't take the silver taels, so he left by himself.

Lin Jinwen knew that she couldn't force it, so she glanced at the deep mansion of Zeng's mansion, and then let the carriage go.

The carriage passed through the bustling crowd, looking at those who begged for life with a simple face, although it was harder, but emotionally it was always more complete than themselves, and I couldn't help but envy.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the palace smoothly, and before she got out of the carriage, she saw Wang Huiyuan coming out of it, looking in a hurry, she should have known the news of Zeng Xuehai and wanted to take a look.

When Wang Hui was gone, she got out of the carriage.

Mrs. Wang knew that she was coming, and her feelings were very complicated, she was grateful to her and willing to come, but she was also worried that Wang Ruyan would be stimulated when she saw her, so she only welcomed her to the flower hall and looked at her apologetically: "Ruyan has become a little strange, I want her to slow down." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at Mrs. Wang, who had lost a lot of weight, and only smiled in understanding: "Then I'll come back later." ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Wang bowed slightly, but she couldn't laugh anymore, her son made such a mistake to her daughter, and the most hurt thing was her, who was a mother, who didn't know what to do if she wanted justice for her daughter.

Lin Jinwen said goodbye and was about to leave, when she saw Luo Shangshu and Wang Yushi coming in from the outside in a low voice, with a serious expression, it seemed that there was something very important.

When Luo Shangshu looked up and saw Lin Jinwen, his brows furrowed, and his gaze was a little complicated.

Lin Jinwen looked at his expression, as if the matter was related to herself, stepped forward to salute, and then asked, "Lord Shangshu, is Mrs. Luo better?" ”

"It's much better, it's just ......" He looked at Wang Yushi before he said to her: "The Huijue appointed by the Queen Mother seems to have noticed the Gu worms, fortunately, my mother didn't say anything, but Miss Lin, once this matter is revealed, you are afraid that you will also be involved, after all, those Gu worms were discovered by you." ”

"What?" Madame Wang was amazed.

Luo Shangshu glanced at her, sighed slightly, and then said, "That's it, you speak first, and I will discuss this matter with the Wang Yushi Society." With that, he turned around and left.

Wang Yushi also lost a lot of weight, nodded at Lin Jinwen, and followed.

Mrs. Wang's face was full of worry: "How could there be such an evil thing as Gu worms in the capital. ”

"Madame, don't be in a hurry." Lin Jinwen looked at the direction Luo Shangshu left, he was so anxious, it must not be just because of Huijue, but there must be some clues in the palace, is it that Zhao Kan was targeted by others for revealing his flaws? Tomorrow is the spring season, if the Gu worm is found on Zhao Kan's people, it will definitely cause a riot, and the emperor will definitely punish him heavily, even if he can't get rid of Zhao Kan, it will be more than enough to get rid of Zheng Ruyi.

Thinking like this, she turned around and wanted to leave, but saw Wang Ruyan standing straight outside the door at some point.

Wang Ruyan saw the surprise on her face, and said with a light smile: "Jinwen, you came to see me." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen saw that she was still very calm, and she always felt uneasy, and stepped forward to take her hand, but she quickly dodged it, but she smelled a strange fragrance on her body.

"I'm going to go with my mother today to pick out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for tomorrow's exam for my brother, do you know which one is particularly easy to use? My brother uses good pen and ink, and the exam will definitely go smoother. She chuckled.

Lin Jinwen looked at her smile without a trace of warmth, remembering her hand to Zeng Xuehai, she hesitated a little: "Ru Yan, you don't need to prepare these." ”

"Ru Yan ......" Mrs. Wang also wanted to persuade, but Wang Ruyan only smiled sweetly: "Even though my brother is sorry for me, he is for my good and my own brother, what can I not forgive." ”

Lin Jinwen felt more and more that something was wrong, but Mrs. Wang only took her hand and nodded with relief: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Wang Ruyan shook her head slightly: "My mother cherishes Ru Yan so much, Ru Yan doesn't feel hard." ”

Mrs. Wang's tears rained down, and Lin Jinwen saw that their mother and daughter were in deep love, and she couldn't persuade them again, so she only looked at Wang Ruyan worriedly and said, "Don't do stupid things at any time." ”

"I know. It's not too early, Jin'an, you go back first. Wang Ruyan smiled lightly.

Lin Jinwen didn't worry about her, but she also knew that she couldn't help it now, so she could only leave first, but as soon as she left, Wang Ruyan covered her heart and cried in a low voice by the side of the door, how much she wanted to ask Lin Gongzi, and also wanted to tell Jinwen that she wanted to die every day recently, and she was unhappy every day, but she knew that she couldn't say that she was no longer qualified.

Mrs. Wang's heart was like a knife, and she stepped forward to hug her: "Yan'er, my mother can't help you......"

Wang Ruyan couldn't cry, but where is her mother sorry for her, sorry for her, it is clear that she has always loved and respected her brother.

Lin Jinwen looked back at the door, she remembered the strange incense just now, it was nothing else, it was the fragrance of mandala flowers, if she was in Wang Huiyuan's ink tomorrow, Wang Huiyuan would not die, but she would miss this year's spring. He has been preparing for so long and just waiting for a grand plan to take revenge on himself, and if Chunqiu loses, he will definitely collapse.

After getting into the carriage, she whispered to Mo Feng: "Go to the Zheng Mansion." "There must be a reason to lure Zheng Ruyi out tomorrow, but when Lin Jinwen didn't expect it, Zheng Ruyi was no longer in the house at this time, and even Zhao Kan didn't find anyone.

When Zhao Kan knew that Zheng Ruyi was gone, and Qukong was gone, he knew that something bad was wrong, and he didn't think much about it, so he went to the palace directly, but before his will was sent to Concubine De's palace, he was stopped by the concubine of the assistant sixth palace.

The palace maid looked at Concubine Jia, who was gently pruning the branches and leaves for the flowers, and said softly: "Niangniang, do you want the slave maid to send the news to Concubine De's mother?" ”

Jia Concubine's hand was forced, and the flowers that were just right were cut off, and the palace maids hurriedly lowered their heads, but Jia Concubine only smiled softly: "What are you afraid of." Now the queen of the middle palace is the queen, I am just the assistant of the sixth palace, the news naturally has to ask the queen mother, the queen mother said not to send, then not to send. ”

The palace maid's mind turned slightly, and she chuckled: "It's still the mother who is smart." ”

Jia Concubine's face was as gentle as a pool of spring water, but she only stepped indifferently on the flowers that had just been cut off, and turned around and went to the queen's palace.
