Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Struggle Contains 1,600 diamonds
In the afternoon, the sun suddenly became hot, and after just trotting for a while, he was already sweating.
When Gui Zhi watched Xue Wenxin being stripped of his clothes and thrown out, he knew that Jiacai people must not be able to save it, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear the news of the poisonous wine.
She hid outside the Yonghe Palace, not daring to go back, if the noble people knew, they would definitely not let her go, thinking about it, she planned to go to Zhao Huaiyan, but before she turned around to leave, she heard a familiar voice behind her, which made her suddenly feel that the heat in her body was gone, and only fear remained.
She immediately turned around and knelt down: "Your ......"
"Bengong didn't expect that you would collude with Jiacairen, Guizhi, am I not good to you?" The honorable man looked at her indifferently, and he really couldn't figure it out, he was not bad to her, and even trusted her and let her serve her. From the time Forsythia was killed, she knew that Guizhi must have betrayed herself, especially since Forsythia's body was still found in a dry well.
Gui Zhi's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and his mouth trembled slightly: "Niangniang, the slave doesn't want to harm you, she just wants to get rid of Lin Jin's ...... for you through the hands of Jiacai."
"Really?" Where would the honorable people trust her now, but he raised his hand and ordered: "Take it down, Jiacai was given a cup of poisoned wine by the emperor, and she was also given a cup of poisoned wine." ”
"Mother's ——!" Gui Zhi looked up in shock, and a eunuch next to her immediately stepped forward and stopped her.
The honorable people no longer looked at her, and only let people carry the sedan chair back to the palace with a cold face.
When I returned to Yonghe Palace, I didn't feel good in my heart, thinking about it, I slapped it on the table with a heavy palm: "This Guizhi, where did I treat her badly, she wanted to betray me!" ”
Everyone hung their heads and did not dare to speak.
Jing Guiren exhaled deeply, then thought about it, and said, "Come on, go and keep an eye on Jiacairen, and wait until she is dead." ”
Immediately, a palace maid answered.
The honorable man gritted his teeth slightly, remembering what happened today, and sneered: "Go and find out who the palace maid of the Naxin Zhiku is, who has such a great ability to design it in the palace." "Listening to the words of Jing Zhaoyin and Xu Chengqing, yesterday's and today's events are really coincidental, it is too dangerous to have such a powerful person in the dark, if you can't use it for yourself, you have to get rid of it, so as to prevent future troubles!
What she didn't expect was that she had already been calculated.
There is more than one Jiacai person in the palace who has bad intentions, but whoever gives birth to the prince is staring at the position above, and he didn't dare to act rashly before, because these ladies in the palace are scheming and have nothing to do, but with the example of Jiacai and the queen, it seems that this is not the case.
In the cold palace where Jiacai was executed, she sat alone in the palace, looked at the wine in front of her, and chuckled: "Is the emperor really so ruthless?" ”
Gonggong An bowed down to look at her and said, "Niangniang, let's go on the road earlier." ”
"For the sake of the Nine Emperor Princes, let me stay alone for a while, before sunset, I will definitely drink this poisonous wine, so as not to embarrass you." Jiacairen's eyes were moist, but he still held back and didn't let the tears flow.
Gonggong An was accustomed to all kinds of tragic things in the palace, and for Jiacai people, for the sake of the Nine Emperor Princes, he did not do anything wrong, but only advised: "Niangniang, hurry up." With that, the greeter stepped back.
Jiacai watched all the people leave, and then the corners of his mouth were gloomy. Since she can use the Gu for people, how can she not be prepared for this day, just poisonous wine, fortunately, the emperor will not give her three feet of white silk. After thinking about it, he took out a dark and blackened jade bottle from his sleeve, looked at it, and resolutely opened the cap of the bottle and swallowed the contents of it.
Outside the cold palace, when the honorable people arrived, they heard a few palace maids whispering not far away.
"Jiacai people will definitely not die."
"How could it be, that's a wine, see blood seal your throat." Another palace maid was surprised.
"Because I heard the little Li Zi's father-in-law beside Jiacai people say that Niangniang has been guarding against this day, she has already prepared Gu worms that can fake her death, and after eating it, she will enter a state of suspended animation, and the poisonous wine is not drunk by Father-in-law An himself, maybe when the body is transported out, Jiacai people will escape......"
When the noble people heard this, they glanced at the cold palace, and saw that Gonggong An was really guarding the eunuch outside the palace, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly turned his head and ran back to report.
As soon as she left, the two palace maids who had just spoken stopped talking, glanced in the direction she left, and left quickly.
In Yonghe Palace, when the honorable people heard this at this time, they only said: "Is it true? ”
"The slave heard it with her own ears, although she has never seen this Gu worm, but Gonggong An and a few people are indeed guarding outside the palace, and I am afraid that I will not stare at Jiacai and drink the poisonous wine with my own eyes when the time comes." The palace maid was busy.
After hearing this, the honorable man actually sneered: "Since this is the case, then let her die again!" I still think that a glass of poisoned wine is too cheap for her, and now she sent it to the door herself, but she can't complain about me. ”
When the sun set, Gonggong An, who was guarding outside the cold palace, was about to push the door in, but he heard a crackling sound inside, and his heart was not good.
Seeing this, he stepped forward to probe his pulse, sighed slightly, and only let people carry him down.
It was already late in May, and even when the sun had set, the sky was still bright.
A few crows landed on the emerald green tiles on the palace wall, and looked at the corpses that had been transported from the palace for cremation, fluttered their wings and flew over.
The eunuchs who were doing the work were accustomed to it, and the leading eunuch who managed the cremation of the corpses of the palace people walked directly to the straw mat wrapped in the corpses of the Jiacai people, and said: "In the end, the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Princes, don't burn with those lowly palace people, let people move to the car, follow me." ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules. A little eunuch reminded.
The leader glared at him: "You're new here?" There are many mistakes in the palace, you should be careful. After the warning, he immediately let the body go.
Outside the palace at the moment.
Zhao Huaiyan's carriage stopped at a corner a hundred meters away from the palace, and he sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, not knowing what to think.
The attendant saw that someone had already come out, and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, someone has already come out." ”
When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the sneaky eunuch through the car curtain, and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't seen him move before." The attendant was also puzzled.
Just thinking about it, the eunuch called a comfortable carriage out of nowhere, and ordered someone to take Jiacai people out of the straw mat, put them on the carriage, and said while moving: "You should be careful, if you are injured, the Nine Emperors will not spare you." ”
"Yes." The people below responded in unison.
When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, his heart was slightly cold, Zhao Tian told him that his mother was helpless in the palace, so he would help him arrange it in every way, but he never thought that he had already cultivated his own person by hiding it.
Seeing that Jiacai was about to be sent away, suddenly a group of men wearing the clothes of the palace guards rushed out, and the leading Zhao Kan was dressed in brocade clothes and holding a long sword, and looked at the leading eunuch with a sneer: "If you dare to smuggle the body out of the palace, you should be beheaded according to the law!" After speaking, before the man could speak, the long sword was cut down, and then he looked at the others: "Get out!" ”
Where did those people dare to go against Zhao Kan, they hurriedly turned their heads and went back, and Zhao Kan let people leave with the corpse of Jiacai.
In the dark, the attendant looked at Zhao Huaiyan and asked softly, "Lord Wang, don't we care?" ”
Zhao Huaiyan looked indifferently at the back of Zhao Kan leaving, and did not speak. If she saves Jiacairen, she will not let go of herself and Jinwen, even so, it depends on how much ability she has, and how much ability Zhao Tian has.
"Go to Jingzhao Mansion."
"Yes." When the attendant heard this, he hurriedly asked people to drive the carriage away.
Lin Jinwen sent Wang Ruyan away, when Wang Ruyan left, she stopped talking with a little desire, Lin Jinwen knew that she still wanted to ask her brother about it, but she seemed to be more obsessed with feeling that she was not worthy of her brother, this stupid girl.
A servant came to light candles, brought a delicate dinner, and smiled cautiously: "Miss Lin, do you need anything else?" ”
"No need." Seeing that they were so respectful, Lin Jinwen must have known that she couldn't lock herself up for long. Hexiang, the plaintiff, also went to prison, as soon as Jiacai had an accident, Mrs. Yan would definitely not continue to entangle, not to mention that Huaiyan had already appeared in the public eye, and those who secretly wanted to intervene would inevitably break their minds, and when Lord Zhang went to check without hindrance, he would soon be able to find out the truth.
She was thinking about it, and when she heard the voice of asking for peace outside, she raised her eyes and looked out, the person in the black brocade dress was not Zhao Huaiyan.
"Lord Wang." She got up with a smile.
Zhao Huaiyan saw that his complexion was a little bad, and said softly: "Don't worry. ”
"Well, the prince is here, I'm not worried." Lin Jinwen's eyes were bent like a crescent moon, and Zhao Huaiyan's originally heavy heart suddenly relaxed. The same was true when I first met her...... However, the first time he saw her at Zhao Kan's wedding in his previous life was not the first meeting, he had seen her when she was a child, if he had been brave at that time, if he could have recognized her at the first sight at Zhao Kan's wedding, she would not have suffered so much in her previous life.
"What is the prince thinking?" Seeing him speak, Lin Jinwen raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but the next second her hand was held by his slightly rough but warm palm.
"Lord ......"
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her deeply, his eyes were full of tenderness and happiness: "I'm thinking about you." ”
Lin Jinwen's ears were slightly hot, and she didn't know how to respond.
The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's mouth were unconsciously hooked, making his cold facial features softer, so he was different from before, like a young man on Mo Shang, and like a jade in the turbid world, gentle and calm, Lin Jinwen was a little stupid.
"Lord Wang, there is a secret letter sent urgently for eight hundred miles."
A guard came in from the outside, Gao Yu helplessly held his forehead, and glared at the messenger, at this time he didn't dare to breathe heavily, he actually ran to shout loudly.
The stunned guard was a little puzzled, and asked him in a low voice, "Gao Guard, what's wrong?" ”
Gao Yu was speechless and choked, stinky boy, you have ruined the good things of your prince, Miss Lin is about to fall into the gentle trap of the prince.
Sure enough, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lin Jinwen's face turned crimson, and she didn't know what to say, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Zhao Huaiyan also became an ordinary appearance, his face was cold, his hands were lightly behind him, and he glanced at Gao Yu lightly.
Gao Yu hurriedly lowered his head: "Lord Wang, do you want your subordinates to go back and deal with it first?" ”
"The prince should go back first, there will be nothing wrong here." Lin Jinwen hurriedly smiled.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at the appearance of red clouds floating on her fair little face, and she looked at her gaze stupidly, so she seemed to be very satisfied with her appearance.
Zhao Huaiyan hid a smile in his eyes and said, "I'll go first." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, and Zhao Huaiyan turned around and walked away.
Gao Yu glared at the stupid guard again, and then hurriedly followed.
Lin Jinwen watched everyone leave, and the cell quieted down, so she sat on the small bed on the side with a sigh of relief, looking at the moonlight that had slowly appeared outside the window, and the corners of her mouth were shallow. After reliving a lifetime, I know that someone can love deeply, and the person you love deeply holds the same love for yourself, which is such a happy thing.
Huaiyan, we will definitely be fine in this life, right......
She looked at the moonlight outside the window and made a heartfelt wish to fall asleep.
The sound of frogs croaking, in the tavern outside Jingzhao Mansion, the boss diligently served the rich uncle who had booked the night, and said with a smile: "We also have a high-quality daughter red ...... in our store."
"No need, my adults are not here to drink. Shopkeeper, you are waiting here, my lord has something to ask you. The little guy said directly.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was also interested, and he hurriedly smiled and apologized: "Yes, yes, if Master Tao has anything to say, just ask, the little one must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
"Lord Zhang often comes here to drink?"
"That is, Mr. Zhang likes small wine." The shopkeeper was a little proud.
Tao Mou glanced at him lightly, threw out a silver ingot weighing five taels to him, and then said, "Did that Lord Zhang ever say about the case of this Miss Lin in prison?" ”
When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he said directly: "I said it." ”
"What's the case?"
"Eighty percent is wronged, and it will be released soon." The shopkeeper said again.
"How long?" Tao Mou continued.
The shopkeeper looked at him with some embarrassment: "This ......"
Tao Mou was not in a hurry, and threw another silver ingot of the same weight to him.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he said quickly: "It will take two or three days to go to the countryside to collect evidence, and then come back, it should not take more than five days." ”
"Five-day ......" Tao Mou got the result, so he sent the shopkeeper out.
When the shopkeeper left, the little guy on one side looked at him and said, "My lord, what do you think?" ”
"I went to see Lin Jinwen today, even if Yan'er wants to marry me, she doesn't seem to be very willing." Tao Mou stood up and looked in the direction of the Jingzhao Mansion prison.
When the little girl heard this, she said nervously: "Then the adult wants Lin Jinwen to stay in the prison forever?" ”
Tao Mou chuckled: "No, now that so many people are protecting her, she is not something I can afford to provoke." Since there are still five days, the marriage date can only be advanced, and when she is out of prison, it is too late to do anything, but she has wronged Yan'er. After speaking, he turned to look at the little girl: "Go find the fortune teller before and ask her to advance the wedding date, and give her as much silver as she wants." ”
The little girl saw that his adult really wanted to marry the Miss Wang, and was a little unwilling for him: "My lord, is it worth your time so much for Miss Wang?" After all, she has been given ......"
"Smack——!
Before the little guy finished speaking, the ordinary gentle Tao Mou had already slapped him in the face, and then said in a cold voice: "Let me hear you say that Yan'er is not in the future, and I will kill you." ”
The little guy hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and Tao Mou snorted lightly: "Then don't you go to do something?" ”
Where did the little guy dare to say more, and hurriedly turned his head.
The night passed.
When the morning sun shone in, Lin Jinwen could clearly feel that someone was staring at her, her eyes were cold with a strange gloom, making her feel as if a poisonous snake had climbed on her back, as if she was about to bite her neck in the next second.
She snapped to her senses and sat up immediately, only to realize that her gaze was coming from the cell next door.
Lin Jinwen stared at him, but he just shrank in a dark corner, and when she saw that she had found herself, she laughed strangely, and her voice seemed to come from hell.
Just when Lin Jinwen was trying to remember who this person was, the official had already hurried over, knocked on the cell door and scolded: "What is the noise, if you quarrel again, drag you down and beat you with fifty lashes!" ”
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she found that this person seemed to be covered with blood, his face was also blood, and his body was also bloody, which was very hideous.
Seeing that Lin Jinwen was also awake, the official hurriedly ran over and apologized: "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry, there is only one spare cell left, this person is very dangerous, and he also sucks people's blood, if he is not locked up alone, I am afraid that he will hurt other prisoners." If he disturbs you, tell the little ones, and the little ones will immediately pull him down and cut off his tongue, and he will be full of evil anyway. After the official finished speaking, he took a sip.
Lin Jinwen looked at the man's gaze, she had never met her, but she always felt that in addition to the gloomy, there were some others.
"Who is he?" She asked.
"I don't know his identity, but when our people saw him this morning, he had already bitten to death several people from the acrobatic team, and he walked on all fours, but I was afraid that he was a wild man raised by the acrobatic team." After the official finished speaking, someone called him again, and he glanced at Lin Jinwen apologetically.
Lin Jinwen didn't embarrass him, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, you can go." ”
The officials were busy going down.
As soon as the people left, breakfast was also delivered, and Lin Jinwen didn't ask any more questions, and sat at the table to eat breakfast with peace of mind.
However, she had heard of the acrobatic team raising monkeys and other spiritual things for performances, and this person couldn't walk, but I was afraid that the acrobatic team was deliberately trained to do so.
Halfway through her meal, she noticed that her gaze had grown colder, and there was a faint roar of beasts and the like.
Lin Jinwen turned her head to look and saw that he was still squatting in the dark, but her eyes were staring straight at the bun in her hand, she paused, and asked him, "Do you want to eat?" ”
He growled even harder.
Seeing this, Lin Jinwen only took the remaining three buns, made a bowl of porridge and slowly handed it over, seeing that he never came, she only pretended to be sleepy, and turned around and lay on the bed, and then the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of him tentatively and walked slowly, and after biting the bun and seeing that there was no danger, she devoured it, and the posture of eating was indeed like a beast.
Lin Jinwen's eyes were faint, she closed her eyes and didn't look at it anymore, only thinking about what Wang Ruyan said about Lin Duan before. Who is his secret master, he has not had time to find out, this time he wants to return to Beijing, will it be under the orders of his master?
Lin Jinwen sighed deeply in her heart, listening to the sound of snoring and drinking porridge from next door, the corners of her mouth were hooked, and she only seriously remembered her own affairs.
Soon, my brother will be back.
He didn't spread the news of Lin Jincheng's return to Beijing, after all, with the experience of the last time, he also knew that there were still many people in the capital who wanted him to die.
After a night on horseback, I took a break when I arrived in the town.
Mohua came back from inquiring about the news from outside, and saw that he was reading the book of soldiers, and said with a smile: "The son has been reading the book of soldiers on the way to and from the country, and he should also rest, otherwise he will return to Beijing tomorrow, where will he have the strength to see Miss Wang." ”
When Lin Jincheng heard this, his face turned a little red, and he only smiled at her: "Did you hear it?" When will Zheng Lai return to Beijing? ”
"It's been a few days. During the time when he was not in the capital, so many things happened in the capital, and when he came back this time, I was afraid that he would not be able to stand it. Mohua smiled and sat on one side.
Lin Jincheng didn't believe it: "Zheng Lai is not as sentimental as you think, Mrs. Zheng is his biological mother, he may still be a little sad, but for his daughter Zheng Ruyi, he is afraid that he will not be too sad." Lin Jincheng thought of Zheng Ruyi, thinking of the amazement and admiration when he first saw her, and was somewhat embarrassed.
Mo Hua thinks about Zheng Lai's character, and it is true, this person is obedient and irritable, and he likes to kill, but I am afraid that this is the case.
After thinking about it, he didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Let's rest for two hours before we hurry, otherwise the horses won't be able to stand it." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jincheng nodded.
After the two finished eating, they were about to go upstairs to rest, when they heard merchants from the capital talking loudly.
"Have you heard that the young lady of the Wang family in the capital who has been insulted and innocent is about to marry the new Tao Gongzi of the Wupin Yuzhou Governor."
"Then Tao Gongzi has a bright future, why do you want to marry such an unchaste and unclean woman?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because this Lord Tao is just a concubine, so Miss Wang's father is the imperial history of a product."
A few people laughed and said, undoubtedly not with disdain in their tones.
Mo Hua's heart was not good, and before he could hold Lin Jincheng, he had already run to those people and said coldly: "What are you talking nonsense? ”
"Who are you......"
Lin Jincheng directly pulled out the saber at his waist, and his originally gentle face was full of murderous aura: "Say, Yan'er...... What happened to Miss Wang? ”
"She is engaged to Tao Gongzi and is about to get married......" The merchant saw the bright sword and hurriedly spoke.
"She ruined her innocence, what's the matter?" Lin Jincheng felt like a knife when he said these words, how could a simple person like Ru Yan be ruined by others, who would dare to do this!
The merchants looked at each other strangely, then looked at him and said, "You don't know?" Just over two months ago, Miss Wang was robbed of her innocence by the son of the Zeng family......"
Lin Jincheng couldn't listen to a word of the latter words, more than two months ago, was it when he just left the capital?
Seeing such a scene, Mohua hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe......"
"Go and prepare the horses, I will return to Beijing immediately."
"But Childe, the capital is probably not ready yet!" Mohua wanted him to calm down first, and their horses had been running for so long overnight, and if they ran again, they were afraid that they would die of exhaustion on the road, but before he finished speaking, Lin Jincheng had already turned around and went out directly, and when Mohua arrived, he had already mounted his horse and headed in the direction of the capital.
She sighed helplessly, and only let the shopkeeper hurriedly change her a horse before chasing after her.
In the capital, Wang Ruyan didn't know that Lin Jincheng was almost there.
When Mrs. Wang came, she sat in front of the mirror and looked at her face.
The dark clouds slowly gathered on the sunny day, and the new maid was still muttering: "This day has changed again, the morning is still fine, and it seems to be raining at this time." ”
Mrs. Wang sent them all out, only then did she look at Wang Ruyan distressedly and said, "Yan'er, have you really decided?" In such a hurry, I'm afraid that I won't have time to prepare and you will be wronged. ”
Wang Ruyan lowered her eyes and smiled lightly: "Mother, it is a great luck that Yan'er can be treated like this by Tao Gongzi, why do you want the scenery to be beautiful." "She doesn't want the scenery at all, it's not a wedding to Lin Gongzi, she doesn't want the scenery at all. She is willing to live, willing to marry and have children according to the rules of the world, all because her brother will die soon, if she has another accident, what will her father and mother do?
She didn't dare to think too much, she didn't dare to think about anything else.
Mrs. Wang watched her tears slowly fall out, and then she hugged her into her arms in distress: "My poor Yan'er, it's all to blame for ...... mother."
"Mother, I don't blame you." If you want to blame, blame the big brother who has been extremely selfish from beginning to end.
"But...... Tomorrow is the wedding date, although Mrs. Shi said that tomorrow is an auspicious day, but there will be an auspicious day next month, and there will be next month, Yan'er, let's wait for next month, okay? ”
The figure that appeared at the door was no longer tall, Wang Ruyan raised her eyes to look at her father, who was only fifty years old and had frosty temples, and chuckled: "Dad, my daughter doesn't feel wronged, Tao Gongzi will soon go to Yuzhou to take office, Yan'er married and just went to Yuzhou with him." "How can she bear to continue to stay in the Wang family, as long as she is here, her father and mother will feel guilty and blame themselves for a day, if she is always there, they will never have peace.
Wang Yushi sighed heavily: "It's all your eldest brother, that unfortunate son!" ”
"Daddy doesn't have to blame him, he's seriously ill now, and I'll go tell him the news in a moment so that he can be happy." Wang Ruyan laughed.
Mrs. Wang looked at her with red eyes, and only felt extremely sad.
After noon, a cool breeze swept away all the heat of the morning, and the drizzle fell with it.
When Wang Ruyan arrived at Wang Huiyuan's yard, she heard the scolding inside: "Get out, waste." ”
The maids hurriedly withdrew from it, their faces still bruised, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly saluted.
Wang Ruyan saw it and said softly: "Go down and take medicine." ”
"Yes." The maids glanced at her gratefully, and then hurriedly retreated.
When everyone left, Wang Ruyan put down the paper umbrella in her hand, let her maids wait under the porch, and walked in alone.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled the strong smell of wine inside, and Wang Huiyuan sat on the ground against the edge of the bed, drunkenly pouring wine one after another.
Seeing someone coming in again, he was just about to vent his dissatisfaction, but he looked up and found that it was her, and his tone became softer: "Ru Yan, why are you here?" ”
"Come and tell the big brother the good news."
"Annunciation?"
"I'm going to get married tomorrow, to Tao Gongzi." Wang Ruyan said calmly.
After speaking, Wang Huiyuan frowned: "You marry him?" He's not a good thing, he's just a concubine, and marrying you is to cling to our Wang family. Ru Yan, if you listen to the eldest brother, the eldest brother will definitely find you a good family. ”
"Good guys? Is Zeng Xuehai such a good person? Wang Ruyan looked at the wine on one side, but laughed: "Brother should drink less, otherwise the poison in the body will attack quickly." ”
Wang Hui was blindsided, thinking that he had misheard: "Poison? What poison? ”
"What does my brother think?" Wang Ruyan looked at him silently: "If it weren't for you, why would I want to marry someone I don't love, why wouldn't my father and mother be unhappy, and why would the Wang family be gloomy, it's all because of you." ”
Wang Huiyuan shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up, but he heard Wang Ruyan say: "When I pressed Yingtang to death in the water, I was very scared, I have never killed anyone, I have never harmed anyone, but brother, what did I do wrong?" ”
"Ru Yan, you actually ......" Wang Huiyuan couldn't believe it, it turned out that Yingtang didn't die to save her, but was killed by her.
"You think it's for my good, so you stepped me into the dust so that I could go to Zeng Xuehai...... Brother, you really love me. Wang Ruyan's heart was sour, looking at Wang Huiyuan's disbelieving eyes, tears slowly gathered in her eyes, when she heard herself say these words, how could she want to believe that this is her current self, not only her body is not pure, but her heart is also pure.
Wang Huiyuan looked at her tears, stood up slowly on the edge of the bed, looked at her and said softly: "Ru Yan, I didn't know you would resist so much, I didn't mean to, I just wanted it for your good......"
"Then for my good, my brother will die. If you don't die, your father and mother will always feel guilty, and I will never forget the blood of Yingtang on my hands, and I will never forget that I was sent to the bed of that disgusting man by my own brother to be insulted. Wang Ruyan's tears couldn't help but fall slowly, looking at Wang Huiyuan and roaring in a low voice. She had suppressed it for too long, she didn't dare to let her true emotions come out, and every night she had nightmares about that hellish night.
Wang Huiyuan looked at the killing intent in her eyes, his body shook slightly, and he fell on the bed behind him.
Wang Ruyan looked at him like this, closed her eyes deeply, and then didn't say another word, turned to leave.
Tomorrow is the big wedding, at the very least, she has to prepare her wedding dress, and she can't make Tao Gongzi too ugly.
The drizzle was light and fell on the ground without sound.
When Mo Feng said the news, Lin Jinwen almost couldn't believe it: "Tomorrow's wedding?" ”
"Well, it seems that the master of Changle Nunnery personally came to the capital to say that tomorrow is the best auspicious day, and today's queen mother's decree has also come down, canonizing Miss Wang as the county lord, Master Huijue has released the news that Miss Wang is a jade girl early in the morning, and now that she is married, no one will object." Ink Wind Channel.
Lin Jin's eyebrows twisted slightly: "What about Ru Yan, is she really willing?" ”
Mo Feng looked at her worriedly, but still nodded: "The slave maid went to ask Miss Biao in person, and Mrs. Wang also said that Miss Wang was really willing to marry." ”
Lin Jinwen suddenly felt a little powerless, she was trapped here now and couldn't get out......
She suddenly thought of yesterday's Tao Mou, could it be that he deliberately advanced the marriage date? But he shouldn't know about Ru Yan and his brother, could it be that he already knew about it, but he just hid it in his heart and never said it?
"When will my brother come back?"
"Mohua has already sent a message to the pigeon, saying that Gongzi has learned about Miss Wang and has immediately rushed to the road, and he may be able to arrive tonight." Ink Wind Channel.
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she only became more and more worried in her heart: "If my guess is right, the palace must be full of Taomou people now, you go to pick up my brother in person tonight, and after receiving him, let him be calm and not act impulsively." If Ru Yan insists on marrying Tao Mou......" Lin Jinwen sighed slightly: "It's really not good, you let him kidnap Ru Yan and run away." "It's a big deal not to have any Lin family, my brother's happiness in his life is always more important than these false names. The two of them are looking for a place to stay incognito, and they can live in peace for the rest of their lives.
When Mo Feng heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and sure enough, taking people away is Miss's consistent style of doing things.
"How is Moyue over there?" Lin Jinwen said this before asking, "Have you found out the news about Lin Duan?" ”
"I'm investigating, the sixth child has come to his senses, he said that he must meet Miss, and he has something very important to tell you personally." Ink Wind Channel.
Lin Jinwen nodded: "Bring him to see me later, look at Lord Zhang's speed, I'm afraid it will be a few days before I get out of this prison." ”
Mo Feng bowed his head, knowing that Gao Yu had been guarding outside the prison, so he retreated.
Not long after, the officials brought dinner, because Gao Yu had specially ordered it, and the meals were directly brought by him to the best restaurant in the capital, five meats, three vegetables and one soup, just by opening the food box, the greedy officials were already drooling.
Lin Jinwen was not stingy, she kept one meat and one vegetarian for herself, and gave the rest to them.
When the servants were gone, she glanced at the cat next door who was motionless in the dark corner, took a bowl of half-divided food, handed it over, and sat down at the table and began to eat by herself, but when she thought that Wang Ruyan was about to get married, she felt that she had no appetite, so she stopped after eating hastily.
"Bang Bang ......"
After a while, there was a banging on the cell door next door.
Lin Jinwen didn't care much, but the official scolded: "What's the noise!" Beat you to death again, shit! ”
The man seemed to understand human speech, and pounded the door harder and harder.
"Yo, still with Lao Tzu! Come on, drag him out and beat him with thirty lashes, anyway, he can't be beaten to death! After the leading official finished speaking, he took the key to open the door, and Lin Jinwen turned her head at this time, only to find that the person was yelling at herself......
No, he was yelling behind him.
Lin Jinwen subconsciously turned around and took a step back, and suddenly saw that in the damp corner, a crimson snake had already crawled towards herself, constantly spitting out dangerous letters to herself.
She was busy touching the wax pills in her sleeve, only to find that she had used all of them last time when she dealt with Dingnanhou, and this snake should have crawled out of the window in the rain these days, if she didn't move or didn't find out, she was afraid that she would be bitten to death by this snake.
"Someone's ......," she whispered.
The officials in the next cell who had already caught the man and were going to drag him out heard it and hurriedly asked her, "Miss Lin, what's wrong?" ”
"Snake ......"
She said softly, and the officials looked in front of her, and when they saw the red snake, their eyes suddenly widened, and they walked over cautiously. One of them had a good kung fu, carefully pinched the dart, and when the snake flashed forward and bit Lin Jin'e, the dart flashed and broke the snake into two pieces, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jinwen also felt as if she was sweating behind her. The red snake is highly poisonous at first glance, not to mention that she has no time to heal herself, and when she asks someone to buy medicine, she is also poisoned and died, she lives again, if she is planted on this little snake, it is really a loss.
She stood firm against the wall, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that there are still a lot of snakes and insects here." ”
"It's a prison cell, and there's really no way to ...... it."
"Go buy me some medicine." After Lin Jinwen finished speaking, she glanced at the person who had just thrown the dart, and said, "Have you always felt unwell and had joint pain these days?" ”
"Miss Lin knows?" The official was surprised.
"I'll give you a prescription, just grab it and eat a few pieces." Lin Jinwen smiled lightly.
Only then did the man remember that Miss Lin's name as a miracle doctor was once rumored in the capital, could it be that she really had such skills, but she only glanced at herself!
The officials knew that Lin Jinwen had a good temper these days, and when they saw this, they came forward to ask for a prescription.
Lin Jinwen glanced at the man who was dragged out next door, and under the candlelight, she could see the wounds all over his body, which were beaten when he was arrested by the government.
After thinking about it, he nodded, and said, "But you have to promise me that you must not beat him again before Lord Zhang interrogates and convicts, after all, he saved my life." ”
Where did everyone dare to get along with her, except for the Xu family, there was also Ning Wangye, wouldn't it be looking for death if she couldn't get along with her, so he nodded with a smile.
Seeing that everyone let go of the hand that was twisting him, the man hurriedly retracted into his corner, just looking at Lin Jin's eyes, there were some other colors.
The rain was still falling unhurriedly, and Gao Yu caught a glimpse of Miss Lin patiently writing prescriptions for people's pulses outside, and then looked at the stunned looks of those officials, and couldn't help pouting, the people around the prince like him didn't get the treatment of Miss Lin personally checking the pulse, they were all good.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone outside suddenly ran over, and when he arrived at the prison door, he said, "Miss Lin is here?" ”
"What's wrong?" I almost responded, and saw that it was the old man who was guarding the door in the front yard, and then said, "But something happened?" ”
"Please Miss Lin come out, the horse is in a hurry, and someone has already sent it, please Miss Lin to take a look." That's humane.
The official didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he only turned his head to look at Lin Jinwen. Lin Jinwen thought of the elegant man and nodded, if she could win Duanhui to her side, it would be better than her continuing to help the nobles, and the horse was not a bad person.
When she got out of the prison, she could feel that someone was already following her in the shadows, and she was relieved to know that it was a high gift.
Soon arrived at the courtyard next door where Master Zhang temporarily lived, and it was already brightly lit.
Old Madam Ling was waiting at the door in person, and when she saw Lin Jinwen coming, she didn't care about holding an umbrella, so she stepped forward and pulled her and said, "Miss Lin, this time you must save the horse no matter what, it should be the old body begging you." ”
Lin Jinwen saw her like this, and knew that the situation of the concubine must be very serious, but when she saw him before, how could it suddenly be like this?
"I'll do my best......"
When Mrs. Ling heard this, she didn't seem to believe it, so she only quietly took her hand and said, "What happened last time, was it mine, Miss Lin, the old body really has no choice, I will take this one son......"
Lin Jinwen knew that she was talking about refusing to save her brother at the beginning, if something really happened to her brother, she might not really make a move, but now that her brother is fine, the Ling family and Princess Duanhui can only win over people who can't deal with it, she will definitely try her best to save her.
"Old lady, rest assured, Jin Wu will not die without help. Without further ado, let's go in first. Lin Jinwen said.
When Old Madam Ling heard this, she nodded, but she was still apprehensive in her heart.
Soon arrived inside, Lin Jinwen thought that Duan Hui would inevitably stimulate herself again, but she didn't want to sit on the side with red eyes, silent, as if she was crazy.
Ling Weiye saw Lin Jin's wife coming, pulled her sleeve and wondered: "I'm obviously obedient, why did my father still have an accident......
Lin Jinwen looked at his frightened and self-reproachful eyes, and regretted telling him like that at the beginning. Holding him by the hand, he walked to the bed, looking at the man who had fainted with a bandage on his left shoulder, which was drenched in blood at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
Lin Jinwen frowned: "Does the horse have symptoms of bleeding and can't stop?" ”
"Yes." Old Madam Ling said busily.
Lin Jinwen also felt that it was tricky, and stepped forward to probe his pulse, which was even worse than the last time, there was still a slight pulse last time, but if he was not careful this time, he would almost not be able to take the pulse.
She twisted her eyebrows slightly and looked at the side of the ring: "Prepare the pen and ink immediately." ”
Where did Yahuan dare to delay, and immediately looked for pen and ink to wait.
Lin Jinwen personally picked up the pen and quickly wrote down two prescriptions for the medicine: "The first pair of medicine was quickly ground into powder by the people in the shop, and the second medicine was immediately fried over high heat after it was caught, and ten bowls of water were fried into one bowl." ”
"Quick!" Old Madam Ling said busily.
Imperial Doctor Lu on one side finally walked out, glanced at the prescription, his face was not very good, and looked at Lin Jinwen and said: "Will this medicine be too strong, the horse is so weak, it should be warmed and supplemented......"
"If it's a warm supplement, this life will be gone, so it's better to try this fierce medicine." Lin Jinwen looked at Imperial Doctor Lu and said, she also understood Imperial Doctor Lu, the nobles who served in the palace were all delicate in life, and the imperial doctors always adopted a gentle method in medicine, for fear that the prescription would be too strong and take the lives of the nobles, and if the nobles lose their lives, their lives will also be lost.
Imperial Doctor Lu looked at her with a firm gaze, and didn't persuade her again.
When Old Madam Ling heard this, she only burst into tears and had already begun to prepare.
Lin Jinwen comforted Ling Weiye, who was trembling all over, listening to the drizzle outside the house, but remembering Lin Jincheng who was rushing to the capital at the moment, brother, you must arrive in time!
In addition to the official road paved with stones, the road outside the city is still muddy, Lin Jincheng in order to get to the capital as soon as possible, took a shortcut and walked in a muddy place, but the horse ran for two days and two nights in a row, and was completely tired, Lin Jincheng waved the whip, and the horse's front hooves knelt on the ground, and fell heavily on the ground, leaving only a heavy breath.
Lin Jincheng was also thrown down, looking at the tired horse, he wanted to help the horse up, but the horse couldn't run anymore.
He wiped the rain from his face, threw down his whip, and ran forward on foot, but where can the speed and endurance of a man compare to a horse, and he will not be able to reach the capital the day after tomorrow with only these legs.
Ran until he had no strength, then stopped, looking at the dark and hopeless sky, unwilling and self-blaming, now it is more desperate, seeing that the woman he loves is about to marry someone else, but he doesn't even have a chance to see her.
Just when he was desperate, Mohua, who had followed him all the way, saw this scene, and sighed, and quickly drove to his side, only then turned over and said, "Childe, ride my horse!" ”
Lin Jincheng looked at her: "What about you?" ”
"The capital is not far away, the slave maid will come to the capital tomorrow to meet the son." Mohua smiled.
Lin Jincheng took off his sword and gave it to her, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, you find a place to rest first, and I will personally pick you up tomorrow." "Mohua is just a woman after all.
Mo Hua shook her head with a smile: "It's okay, Childe doesn't have to worry about me, and I still have a good kung fu, ordinary people can't hurt me." ”
Lin Jincheng gritted his teeth slightly, patted her shoulder, and quickly got on the horse and headed towards the capital.
Mohua watched his back leave, lowered her eyes at the saber he left for herself, blinked, and walked forward.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping, Mo Feng waited outside the city gate early, and when he saw a person riding a horse chasing quickly, he greeted him: "Lin Gongzi......"
"Is that you?" Lin Jincheng grabbed the reins, saw that it was her, and said in surprise: "Jincheng is ...... her"
"Miss asked the slave maid to pick up the son, now there are many people outside the Wang family staring, the young lady wants the slave to tell the son, if Miss Wang refuses to withdraw from the marriage, the son will directly take the person away. The slave and maid will prepare the carriage and horses for the son. ”
When Lin Jincheng heard this, his heart warmed slightly: "I know." After speaking, he walked quickly with her to the Wang's house.
On the night of the wedding, Wang Ruyan didn't sleep at all, sitting in front of the dresser, wearing a bright red wedding dress, all the green silk was sprinkled behind her, just waiting for the dawn of the day, there would be a bride to dress her up. What about Lin Gongzi, what is he doing now, does he know that she is going to get married today?
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden noise from the window, and she turned her head, and when she saw the person who appeared, her eyes immediately became hot.
"Lin ......" Before Wang Ruyan's words were finished, she was taken into a wet but hot embrace: "Marry me." ”
When Wang Ruyan heard this, all the grievances and forbearance seemed to be vented at this moment, tears rained down, and she was so choked that she couldn't make a sound. She had been dreaming about this sentence before, but now that he really said it, it only made her heart cut like a knife.
"Jincheng ......" After a long time, she finally pushed the person away, looking at his stunned and sad eyes, looking at the tall and handsome him who is so embarrassed now, it is not difficult to imagine how anxious he is to rush back, but she can't, she has promised Tao Gongzi, tomorrow is the wedding......
"You go, I won't marry you." Wang Ruyan turned her back to prevent him from seeing his pain and struggle. She was afraid, he was so good, so perfect, what could she be worthy of him? If she marries, she will only make him criticized, and he will not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Lin Jincheng looked at her slightly trembling body, where she didn't know her pain, she only stepped forward gently and hugged her from behind, and pleaded: "Yan'er, I will recognize you in my life, if you don't marry me, do you want to watch me grow old all my life?" ”
"But ......"
"I don't care."
"I care. I care that I am a broken flower and a willow, I care that my hands are stained with blood, Lin Gongzi, you are so perfect, marry you, I will only have low self-esteem for the rest of my life, forever like a poor worm struggling in the mire, do you want to watch me torture myself to death like this? Wang Ruyan deliberately said it heavily, she knew that he loved herself, and the more she tortured herself, the more unbearable he would be, and the more he wanted to leave.
She felt terrible and disgusting at this moment, but she didn't want to drag him down. He is so good, how can he be lonely all his life, he will have a bright future and be happy all his life.
Lin Jincheng was stunned, he had never felt like this about women, he was on the battlefield all the year round, and he didn't know that women liked duplicity, he thought Ru Yan really hated him.
"Yan'er, you don't like me......"
"I used to like it, but now I only have my husband in my eyes." Wang Ruyan's heart was like a knife, and she just hoped that he would leave quickly, otherwise she was afraid that she would really turn around and throw herself into his arms.
Lin Jincheng's eyes were red, and a huge pain and hatred rushed out from the bottom of his heart, for the first time, he had such hatred, hating Zeng Xuehai, that brute!
The sky slowly brightened, and there were footsteps outside, and after a while, Mrs. Wang, who didn't know, came to knock on the door: "Yan'er, are you awake?" ”
Wang Ruyan took a long breath, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and replied softly: "Wake up." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang pushed the door and came in.
Seeing this situation, Mo Feng had no choice but to step forward and drag the blinded Lin Jincheng to hurry away. Miss Wang seems to be determined, even if she is taken away, she will not change her mind.
But how is the lady going to explain it?
Mo Feng is having a headache, and Lin Jinwen is also having a headache now.
When the ground powder arrived, it did quickly stop the bleeding on the horse's shoulder, and after the other pair was fed, the horse's pulse also recovered somewhat, but he never opened his eyes, as if his soul had drifted away.
Ling Weiye grabbed her hand and stayed up all night, looking at her with redder eyes: "Is Daddy dead?" ”
"No, but ......" Lin Jinwen glanced back at Duan Hui, who was lost in her soul, before she stepped forward and said, "Princess, the concubine seems to be reluctant to wake up, and it needs to be whispered by your loved ones in your ear, I don't know if you can ......."
Duan Hui's eyes moved, but she only shed tears: "Come on, go and invite my aunt." ”
Aunt?
Lin Jin's eyebrows were slightly raised, could it be that Duanhui is like this, is it because the concubine has newly married an aunt. And it seems that the horse's injury is only due to Duan Hui's hands, otherwise how could she lose her soul so much, she must have rushed up and tore the aunt with her hands.
Old Madam Ling walked over, looked at Duan Hui and comforted, "Princess, how could you not be clear about his thoughts?" In the end, that woman was rewarded by the emperor, and the life of the concubine is all on you. ”
When Duan Hui heard this, there were more tears in his eyes.
Lin Jinwen didn't care about their housework, but now that the sky is already bright, my brother should have arrived last night, so what about Ru Yan? Will you still get married today?
After thinking about it, she turned her mind slightly, looked at Old Madam Ling and said, "I know that the national teacher has a way to call the soul, if I go to the national teacher's mansion, I can discuss with the national teacher what to do as soon as possible." "In this way, she will be able to go to Wang's house...... Or the Tao family to take a look, if her brother doesn't work out, she will make a final effort.
Old Madam Ling's eyes lit up slightly, but Lin Jinwen was a suspect after all......
Before she could say anything, Duan Hui had already spoken: "Take the carriage of the main palace." ”
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she breathed a long sigh of relief, hoping that everything was still in time.
