Chapter 80: The Hidden Secret
Chapter 80: The Hidden Secret
The news that Hui Jue was gifted as a national teacher came three days later.
When the news came, Lin Jinwen was talking to Xu Zhaozhao about Concubine Xian's demotion to an official woman.
"I didn't expect the emperor to move so fast." Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but sigh, Concubine Xian has gone up and down in a short period of time, from an unfavored concubine to a concubine who is an assistant concubine of the Sixth Palace, and in a few days she has become the lowest official woman.
"The news only spread in the past two days, and maybe there will be action that day." Lin Jinwen brewed the tea on one side and handed it to her: "Taste it, Ah Bao's newly dried peach blossoms, add a little honey to it." ”
Xu Zhaozhao's eyes quickly fell on this flower tea, looking at the pink peach blossoms in the white porcelain teacup, the faint aroma of peach blossoms came to the wind, making people feel as if they were in the peach forest, and even the mood was sweet.
She blew it and couldn't wait to take a sip before she looked at Lin Jinwen: "This tea is really beautiful and delicious." ”
"Ah Bao has posted a lot this time, I'll ask her to bring some to you when I go back." Lin Jinwen smiled, Ah Bao had already realized that she was holding a small box the size of a palm, and she saluted and said a little shyly: "The slave and maid don't dry much this time." ”
Xu Zhaozhao gave her a thumbs up.
Lin Jinwen gave her the tea and said with a smile: "Go and taste it for your aunt, this tea can relax your muscles and invigorate your blood, and your aunt has been haggard a lot to take care of you these days." ”
When Xu Zhaozhao heard this, he nodded hurriedly, got up and took the flower tea, and thanked Ah Bao with a smile, and then took the maid's hand and slowly went back.
When she left, Mo Yue stepped forward, and the surrounding maids were also sent away.
She looked at Lin Jinwen sitting in the pavilion and said, "The news is true, I am afraid that the holy decree will come down in the next few days, and I heard that someone has already begun to choose a site for the National Teacher's Mansion." ”
"It's not surprising that Huijue will become a national teacher, but what I'm worried about now is the Governor of Wei who is about to enter Beijing......" She stared at the teacup in her hand, slowly turning. If the Governor of Wei recognized Huijue as the murderer who killed his son back then, he was afraid that not only Huijue would not die well, but he would also be implicated.
Mo Yue knew that she was worried, but before she could speak, Mo Xue suddenly looked coldly at the door: "Who! ”
There was not the slightest movement by the door, but Mo Xue clearly felt that someone was staring there.
Lin Jinwen's hand holding the teacup also stopped, and turned her head to look at the door lightly, her eyes were slightly cold: "Go and have a look." ”
"Yes." Mo Xue responded, and the dagger that did not leave her body was already neatly held in the palm of her hand.
She slowly walked to the door, opened the door and saw that there was nothing, and Fang Cai's gaze seemed to be gone.
She turned around and shook her head at Lin Jinwen, Lin Jinwen thought about it, now the unclean people in the Xu Mansion should have been driven out by their aunt, and the people who came just now can come under Mo Xue's nose, and suddenly run away, eighty percent of them are people who know kung fu, and what are they going to do when they come in the daylight?
She didn't come up with a reason, but she didn't continue to think about it, she just asked people to stare at it carefully before saying to Mo Yue: "When will Huijue leave the palace?" ”
"The slave maid inquired that eighty percent of the National Teacher's Mansion was given to him by the former vacant mansion, and it would not be newly built, so it should be one or two days, after all, he is a man, and it is inconvenient to always be in the palace." Moyue Road.
Lin Jinwen nodded, and then said: "Continue to stare at Governor Wei and the people who entered the capital with him, after so long, they should be almost in the capital." ”
Mo Yue saluted, and then retreated.
Not long after Xu Zhaozhao left, he ran back with a smile on his face, still holding a gilded post in his hand.
"Sister Jin." She ran in with a smile and raised the post in her hand, and said with a smile: "It was sent by Pingxi Wangfu, and I invited Xu Mansion." ”
Lin Jinwen knew about the recent birthday of King Pingxi, but he had always been low-key, so this time he would invite Xu Fu?
When Xu Zhaozhao ran to her, she smiled and said, "Who sent the post?" ”
"The son of the Pingxi Palace." Xu Zhaozhao said: "The baby who is less than ten years old, cute and tight, I heard that it is the younger brother of Lord Yuan, but he looks cold, but a round face really looks like a bun." ”
Lin Jinwen looked at the way she was describing her eyebrows, and knew that she was looking forward to this birthday banquet, so she only smiled and said, "When is it going?" ”
"It's tomorrow, so my mother asked me to tell you, let's go together tomorrow, and my brother Ming'er will also go, I heard that the one from the Sun family is also going." Xu Zhaozhao was very angry when she thought that when she was seriously ill, the Sun family actually came to withdraw from her relatives.
"King Pingxi invited a lot of people this time?"
"Many people, the top ten of this Spring Expedition have been invited, and my brother's friends will also go." Xu Zhaozhao recalled, thought about it, and then patted his head and said softly: "Mother said that you can bring more people over, Sister Jin, the night student under you, can you also go over?" ”
Lin Jinwen blinked, this kid was still thinking about him.
She smiled lightly: "He has something to do recently, and he wants to leave the capital for a while." ”
"Oh......" Xu Zhaozhao replied disappointedly, and Fang Cai's joy was gone.
Mo Feng looked at Lin Jinwen worriedly, Lin Jinwen couldn't either, she could only think about not letting her meet with the sixth child in the future, Zhao Zhao was still young, and she liked it for a while, but she forgot about it after a while.
Lin Jinwen saw that she was unhappy, so she only pulled her and asked with a smile: "Is the little boy from Pingxi Wangfu really cute today?" ”
"Lovely. Don't you see, that clearly round face is cold, it looks like a little adult, cute to death. Xu Zhaozhao mentioned this, and his eyebrows danced again.
Lin Jinwen quietly glanced at Mo Yue to the side, and Mo Yue understood, and also took the opportunity to leave.
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Zhaozhao completely forgot about Fang Cai's unhappiness until Xu Chengqing came over.
When Xu Chengqing came, his face was slightly solemn, and when he saw Xu Zhaozhao, he only smiled and said: "Zhaozhao, my mother is looking for you, go over quickly." ”
"Really?"
"Aren't you clamoring to make new clothes? My mother is waiting to measure you, so let's go. Xu Chengqing nodded her little nose and smiled dotingly.
When Xu Zhaozhao heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and didn't forget to say to Lin Jinwen: "Sister Jin's body is about the same size as me, so don't bother my sister to measure it, I'll let my mother make it for you according to my size." ”
"Okay." Lin Jinwen knew that Xu Chengqing had something to say, and she didn't delay with her.
Xu Zhaozhao listened, and then turned his head.
As soon as she left, Xu Chengqing looked at Lin Jinwen worriedly and said, "I just got the news, King Ning is afraid that he is in trouble outside the city at this time. ”
"Trouble?"
"I heard that King Ning was seriously injured when he returned to the city, and it just so happened that King Jing went to a secret residence outside King Ning City under the pretext of searching for evidence of Gu worms, I am afraid that it will be ...... at this time."
"Does my brother have a horse?" Lin Jinwen stood up directly.
Xu Chengqing was taken aback: "What are you going to do?" It's useless for you to be in the past now......"
Lin Jinwen knew that Zhao Kan was ruthless, and if he found out that Zhao Huaiyan was outside the city and was seriously injured, he would definitely not be soft. And the people of the Xu Mansion are ......
Her brows furrowed tightly, eighty percent of them were the ones who hurt Huaiyan.
She looked at Mo Feng and Mo Xue, and said, "Prepare the horses, let's go out of the city immediately." ”
"I'll go with you......" Xu Chengqing saw that she was about to leave immediately, and said busily.
"Cousin, where did this news come from?" Lin Jinwen stopped and asked again.
Xu Chengqing's face was slightly red, and when she saw her anxious face, she didn't twist it, and said: "I haven't made any achievements over the years, from Yuzhou to the capital, I have left eyeliner." ”
"Okay." Lin Jinwen nodded, and after someone took the black veil, she pulled his sleeve and walked quickly to the outside of Xu's mansion, and when she got on the horse, she quickly told him about her plan.
After Xu Chengqing heard her say a few simple words, she was a little skeptical that her uncle had taught her the art of war, especially the art of vertical and horizontal sophistry, otherwise she was a little woman, where did she get so many exquisite plans.
Before he could ask, several people had already arrived outside the city quickly on horseback, and immediately a person wearing brown civilian clothes quietly walked over and whispered to Xu Chengqing: "Twenty miles to the west up the mountain, there is a miasma in the bamboo forest on the top of the mountain, and King Jing is there." With that, he immediately pretended to be nothing and left.
Lin Jinwen did not delay at all, grabbed the reins and quickly headed west.
To the west, she remembered that it was a mountain forest that was not too steep, there was no road in the mountain forest, and the horses could not go up, so they could only rely on foot, and even if Zhao Kan had already climbed the mountain, eighty percent would have to linger in the miasma of the bamboo forest for a while, and she would be in time to go now.
Twenty miles is not far away, but by the time she arrived, the delicate flesh of her palms had been bloodied.
Mo Fengli fell off the horse, and then stepped forward to support her: "Miss, your hand ......"
"I'm fine, time is urgent, let's do it as planned." Lin Jinwen looked at the verdant and dense mountains and forests in front of her, and said with a gloomy face. What is the person who appeared in the Xu Mansion just now? The reason why Zhao Kan came here was that he was ventilating the news?
She gritted her teeth, Mo Xue's sharp eyes saw footprints on the other side, and said, "Miss, they are walking on the mountain here." ”
"Very good, Zhao Kan is suspicious, there must be people left along the way, let's act according to the plan." Lin Jinwen turned her head to look at Xu Chengqing, who hurriedly followed with the two of them, and said, "Cousin, I'm bothering you this time." ”
"Don't worry, I can still do such a small thing, but you ...... Be sure to stay safe. Xu Chengqing originally planned to let her not take risks, but she wouldn't listen to it when she wanted to say it, this cousin, if it was a man, he might have to make a contribution.
Xu Chengqing thought about it, but didn't stay, and immediately took people away.
Lin Jinwen looked at Mo Feng and Mo Xue, and the two of them also nodded, and then she took out the hairpin on her head and slashed it on the left side of her face, and then walked quickly to the grass pile not far from the side of the mountain with her skirt.
Seeing this, Mo Feng and Mo Xue glanced at each other, and took out fire folds from their sleeves.
At this time, Zhao Kan on the mountain was indeed besieged in the miasma.
"Didn't you say it's here, why haven't you seen it yet?" Zhao Kan was a little impatient.
The attendant who came with said: "Could it be that person deceived you, after all, King Ning is the one who went to the border pass, listening to the news from the border pass, his carriage and horses are almost here in the next few days, it is impossible to appear here at this time, and he is seriously injured." ”
The more Zhao Kan listened, the more his face sank, and he lowered his eyes and looked at a piece of jade in the palm of his hand, this is indeed Zhao Huaiyan's personal belongings, if he was not seriously injured, how could he let such an object fall into the hands of others?
"This king has calculated that there will be a strong wind when the time comes, and when the wind comes, it will definitely be able to blow away this miasma, and we can see if Zhao Huaiyan is on this mountain!" He gritted his teeth and turned his head to move on. With such a good opportunity to get rid of Zhao Huaiyan, he naturally won't give up, and even if Zhao Huaiyan dies here, no one will find out, because outsiders know that he has already gone to the border!
When the attendants heard this, they didn't want to say more, so they could only follow behind and laugh and say: "It's still the wisdom of the prince, and that person has also been locked up by us, if he deceives you, you can go back and let him live as well as die." ”
Zhao Kan glanced at him lightly, and continued to look forward with a cold face.
He walked forward for a while, and finally saw what the man called the bamboo forest: "This is the ...... here."
"Lord Wang, it's not good!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a soft cry, and then saw that he had made his men at the foot of the mountain hurry up.
Zhao Kan's face sank, and he said in an unkind tone: "Why are you so flustered!" ”
"It's down the mountain, someone is burning the mountain!" The attendant said in horror, after all, he could see clearly the thick white smoke when he came, new trees had only grown on this mountain, and the dead grass and trees from last year were piled up all over the mountain, and once the fire burned, they had nowhere to run, and could only be burned alive.
Zhao Kan also understood this reason, and immediately darkened his face.
The attendant who had been talking a lot before turned white, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the person didn't want to harm Zhao Huaiyan at all, but ......"
"Instead, I'm going to kill this king!" Zhao Kan turned his head to look at the increasingly thick miasma and the top of the mountain that he didn't know when he could reach the end, gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "A few of you are guarding here, and the others will go down the mountain with this king to see who is playing tricks!" He snorted coldly, directly pulled out the matching sword at his waist, and led the person down the mountain.
Zhao Kan took people a little half a quarter to go down the mountain, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found that there was something to set fire to the mountain, and it was clear that someone was lighting it with wet wood at the foot of the mountain, so that a large amount of smoke was released, making people think that the mountain was on fire.
"A few idiots, don't you know how to come down and take a look first!" He was on the verge of rage, and he turned his head to go up again, but suddenly he heard a rustling sound from the edge of the woods, and then he clearly saw a dark figure flashing past.
"Who!" The attendants let out a loud shout and drew their swords one after another to protect Zhao Kan.
Zhao Kan was so angry that his face darkened: "This king wants to see who is making a fool of himself here!" With that, he chased after him with his sword.
After chasing for a long time, he chased out of the forest at the foot of the mountain, and the person who ran towards him was not Lin Jinwen?
Lin Jinwen looked very frightened, her face was pale, her face was still injured, and she kept looking behind in fear as she ran.
When Zhao Kan saw that it was her, his eyes suddenly deepened, how could she be here alone in this barren mountain and wilderness?
"Lin ......"
"Jin's wife, are you okay?" Before Zhao Kan could speak, he heard a neighing of horses, and then a group of guards followed Xu Chengqing on horseback.
Xu Chengqing turned over and dismounted, and saw Zhao Kan standing on the outer edge of the dense forest at a glance, with a surprised face: "His Royal Highness King Jing, are you really here?" ”
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Kan slowly put away his sword, looked at the group of guards who followed Xu Chengqing, and said, "But what trouble did you encounter?" ”
Lin Jinwen hid behind Xu Chengqing, her body seemed to be trembling slightly, and she said in a trembling voice: "White Tiger, there is really a White Tiger on this mountain......
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my cousin is here, and there are so many mighty city guards, it's going to be fine." Xu Chengqing turned sideways to comfort him, then looked at Zhao Kan, who was staring deeply at Lin Jin'e, and arched his hand: "Back to the prince's words, it was Jin's wife who saw that the weather was good today, so she begged the minister to take her to learn to ride a horse." Jin Wu was playful, saw that there was a mountain here, and went to catch rabbits, but the forest was a white tiger that came out, Weichen was going to take her away, but the two maids who came with her were gone, and she insisted on waiting for the maids to come back, Weichen put her on the tree, thinking about going to find someone first, but she was frightened and ran out by herself. After Xu Chengqing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Jinwen and said, "Don't take such an adventure next time." ”
Zhao Kan sneered lightly and looked at Xu Chengqing with a little disdain: "Are you stupid to be the king, even if there is a white tiger, will you leave Miss Lin and run away to find helpers by yourself?" ”
Xu Chengqing's eyes deepened, and he smiled lightly: "Weichen also knew that the prince was near here, so he left with confidence, but I didn't expect the prince to find Jinwu." ”
"Do you know the king is here?"
"Yes, in the afternoon, someone handed over the news, saying that the prince was also here, and it happened that Jin Wu wanted to learn to ride a horse, and Weichen knew that the prince's equestrian skills were the best among the children of the capital, so he wanted to come and learn from each other. But now that I think about it, I was reckless, since the prince is also, he must also be on official business, right? Xu Chengqing asked with a smile.
Zhao Kan's face was a little ugly, he came to kill Zhao Huaiyan, and now there are city guards, if they find out, something will happen. And the person who delivered the news was going to murder himself.
Just thinking about it, Lin Jinwen opened her mouth and said: "Lord Wang, please send someone to save the two maids of the courtiers, and the courtiers will not come to such a place in the future." ”
"Please ask the prince to help, my sister-in-law regards these two maids as biological sisters, if something happens, she must be very sad." Xu Chengqing followed.
Zhao Kan's hand holding the hilt of the sword was very cold, but after looking at the city guards, he thought about it, if they found out that Zhao Huaiyan was in the capital, his father would know about it, and he would definitely think that Zhao Huaiyan was plotting against him.
After thinking about it, Zhao Kan looked at Lin Jin's sister-in-law who was hiding behind Xu Chengqing and smiled: "Since Miss Lin asked, this king will naturally agree, but this king has received a secret report that there are Gu cultivators here, you can be careful." After that, he looked at the group of city guards: "You go up the mountain with the king's entourage, Miss Lin is a woman after all, although the king is waiting at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Xu Chengqing pursed her lips without a trace and looked at Lin Jinwen: "Let's go to the official road first and wait, my cousin is also there." ”
Lin Jinwen bowed slightly, didn't care about Zhao Kan, turned her head and left.
Zhao Kan is not in a hurry in this wilderness, if there is really a tiger rushing out after a while, then he just leaves with the beauty.
Thinking like this, the smile on the corner of his mouth was even greater, and he handsomely picked up the sword in his hand and handed it to Lin Jinwen who was not far away: "Take it, defend yourself." ”
Lin Jinwen looked at this self-righteous man, and wanted to smash her head, how did she fall in love with him blindly in her previous life, just because of his good skin?
The atmosphere here is awkward, and the people on the mountain are racing against time.
Mo Xue Mofeng quickly walked up the mountain road on one side, and after easily eliminating a few guards under Zhao Kan's ambush, he walked through the miasma on the other side and arrived at the bamboo forest.
They had been to this place before, but the place they came from today should be on the back, and they had never walked before before so they didn't remember.
"Mo Feng Mo Xue, why are you here?"
A noble voice came.
Mo Xue raised her head, looked at the blood-red clothes on his chest that ran out of the bamboo house, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”
"The prince is inside, but he is seriously injured."
"Why does the prince ......?"
"Let's talk about it later, and don't ask in front of the prince." Gao Yu seemed to have something unspeakable, and only looked at the two of them: "Why did you come here?" What about Miss Lin? ”
"King Jing brought people to search the mountain, but fortunately, the news reached the ears of the young lady in time, and King Jing was too eager to get rid of the prince, so he didn't make arrangements and brought a few people casually, so we can come over. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and the prince must leave immediately. Mo Feng said in a deep voice.
Gao bowed: "I'll go to ...... immediately"
"Let's go." Before he finished speaking, there was already a figure at the door, and Mo Xue looked over, and the prince who used to have only indifference in his eyes now had a trace of sadness, which they had never seen before.
Mo Feng Mo Xue immediately stepped forward to support him, heard a faint sound, and hurriedly led people away.
The city guards and Zhao Kan's people searched carefully on the mountain, and when they finished searching, it was already dark.
Zhao Kan is still at the foot of the mountain, in April, plus a few days before the rain, there have been a lot of mosquitoes, Xu Chengqing carefully took the big leaf to Lin Jinwen to fan away the mosquitoes, Zhao Kan was bitten to go crazy, in the past, he was pampered, when did he suffer such a crime, but fortunately, today's moonlight is like water, a woman in a scarlet dress on one side sits silently on the horse, her eyes are like the stars in this night, and the beauty is intoxicating.
He didn't seem to have seen a person so quietly for a long time, except when he was very young, when he felt that the most beautiful thing was not his mother, but the always gentle concubine......
Thinking of Concubine Yin, he came back to his senses again, stared at Lin Jinwen and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, have I seen you before?" ”
Lin Jin's hand holding the reins tightened slightly, could it be that he also remembered the events of his previous life?
After thinking about it, Zhao Kan continued: "When I was very young, I may have seen you, have you ever entered the palace with your mother?" ”
"At that time, the courtiers must have been very young and not very impressed." When Lin Jinwen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Zhao Kan's eyebrows raised slightly, he seemed to remember that Lin Jinwen had entered the palace at that time, wearing a red skirt, wearing a double hairpin and a plum blossom hairpin, her face was round and very cute, she was still making Concubine Yin laugh at that time, not at all as cold as today.
Just thinking about it, there was movement at the foot of the mountain, and the city guards and guards came back, but there was no shadow of Zhao Huaiyan beside him.
Zhao Kan's face sank, could it be that he fed mosquitoes all night today, but found nothing?
"What about people?"
"Back to the prince, nothing was found on the mountain, and it is estimated that Miss Lin's two maids have been buried in the belly of the tiger." The leader of the Protectorate.
The attendants also stepped forward and whispered: "When the subordinates went, only the empty bamboo hut remained, and the subordinates saw that the tea in the bamboo hut was still warm, and it was obvious that someone left." ”
As soon as Zhao Kan heard it, he knew what was going on. He immediately turned his head to stare at Lin Jinwen, but Lin Jinwen had already gone to see Xu Chengqing: "Cousin, it's not early, let's go back first." ”
"Miss Lin is not looking for a sister like a sister?" Zhao Kan gritted his teeth a little, but Lin Jinwen just smiled slyly: "My two maid rings still have some kung fu, maybe they were saved by the people who cut wood on this mountain." The prince has heard of Wu Song, who can kill the white tiger by himself, and there may be such a person. After Lin Jinwen finished speaking, she grabbed the reins and left directly.
Zhao Kan watched her turn away, the red clothes also flew in the wind, the blue black hair danced with the night wind and the moonlight, and the softness seemed to reach his heart, making the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and his eyes were also dyed with tenderness that he himself was not aware of.
The city guards also said goodbye and left, and the attendants knelt down tremblingly: "The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the prince." ”
"That's it." Zhao Kan looked at Lin Jin's departing back, turned over on his horse, and chased her directly.
When the attendants saw that he had left so lightly, they all looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost, and then hurriedly followed.
Lin Jinwen didn't shake Zhao Kan away all the way, until he arrived at the gate of the Xu Mansion with a dog skin plaster, and then saluted a little coldly: "Thank you Lord for escorting you all the way, the hour is not early, and the courtiers will leave." ”
Zhao Kan subconsciously stretched out his hand towards her, but was blocked by Xu Chengqing. Looking at Xu Chengqing's defensive appearance, he smiled wickedly: "Next time, I will learn to ride a horse and come to find this king." This king has a lot of time, and your cousin is just a half-ass. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Xu Chengqing looked at his scorching gaze at Lin Jinwen, and said busily: "Doesn't the prince still want to investigate the matter of Gu worms?" The ministers did not dare to delay and retired first. After that, he took Lin Jinwen directly into the Xu Mansion.
Zhao Kan was not angry, thinking that Lin Jinwen was riding a horse under the moonlight with him tonight, he was in a good mood, it was this Xu Chengqing, who was too much of a hindrance......
He glanced at Xu Chengqing's back coldly and turned to leave.
After Lin Jin's wife returned home, Mrs. Xu was still worried, but seeing that Xu Chengqing was also there, she screwed Xu Chengqing's ears without saying a word: "You kid, you actually took Jin's daughter out to learn to ride a horse, I think you are crazy, you are not filial!" "Mrs. Xu still has lingering feelings about Xu Zhaozhao, and if Jin Wu is also injured, she will blame herself to death.
Lin Jinwen knew that she meant well, so she only smiled and said, "Uncle, don't blame my cousin, I have to ask him to teach me." ”
"Jin Wu, you don't have to say good things for him, this kid is a bastard, he made the masters sick several times when he was in the academy, I should have taught him a lesson, you go back and rest, your aunt will prepare food for you early tomorrow morning." Mrs. Xu looked at her gently.
Lin Jinwen knew that Xu Chengqing was going to be affected by herself today, thinking that there might be someone in the room at this time, so she had to look at Xu Chengqing apologetically.
Xu Chengqing was also helpless, but he understood the grievances his mother had suffered during this time, and he wanted to talk to her alone, so he also winked at Lin Jinwen, and then coaxed Mrs. Xu to leave.
As soon as they left, Lin Jinwen immediately returned to the courtyard and sent all the subordinates away.
As soon as I entered the room, a strong smell of blood came. Lin Jinwen didn't know why she smelled this bloody smell, but a wave of annoyance rose up, he didn't care about the danger every time, every time he got injured, and he almost died several times. What if he doesn't have such good luck next time, what if there is no one to help him next time!
She rushed into the room angrily, and when she saw the lonely person sitting in the dark, Fang Cai's anger instantly dissipated.
"Sister-in-law......"
He let out a soft voice, a little pleading and helpless in his tone, as if a fragile word could smash him to pieces.
Lin Jinwen was stunned, before her brain could react, her body had already walked over, and when she walked to Zhao Huaiyan's side, he hugged her waist and rested his head on her: "Hug me." ”
Lin Jinwen raised her hand to hug him, looked down at the person leaning on him, her face was pale, and the moonlight spilled in through the window and fell on his closed eyes, fragile and innocent like a wronged child.
"Huaiyan ......" Lin Jinwen tried to adjust her emotions and not let herself choke up: "Shall I help you see the wound first?" "With such a thick bloody breath, he must have been seriously injured.
"Wait a minute......" he pleaded.
Lin Jinwen has never seen such a fragile Zhao Huaiyan, she has seen him strong and cold, as if he can look at the world, the palm of his hand, and she has also seen him who is tender like water and has some scoundrels, but she has never seen such a fragile him. What could break him so easily? Thinking about it, there is only the person he cares about the most, in his previous life, he didn't care about the emperor and empress, and he didn't care about anyone in the Jin Dynasty, except for his long-deceased mother Yin Concubine, but Yin Concubine was executed decades ago......
Lin Jinwen didn't dare to speculate, and she didn't ask much, she just stood and hugged him, gently pinched the wax pill in her palm, and waited for him to fall asleep, then sighed slightly and went to fetch hot water in person.
The night is as cold as water, and the shadows of the dark night shuttle through the capital, like ghosts, making people unable to see clearly.
When Zhao Kan returned to the palace, the person who came to deliver the news had already been assassinated, and he could only consider himself unlucky.
"Lord Wang, it's not early, you should rest early." Someone persuaded.
Zhao Kan returned to the study, couldn't sleep at all, and only said lightly: "Go and prepare, this king will enter the palace tomorrow to meet his mother." ”
When the servant heard this, he had no choice but to respond, but he caught a glimpse of him carrying a pen and ink to paint a painting, in which the woman was dressed in crimson red and stood in the moonlight with a cold face.
After a night, when Lin Jinwen woke up, her mind was still a little cloudy.
She looked at the top of the tent and slowly remembered what happened last night, she seemed to be sleeping on the warm couch tired after scrubbing Zhao Huaiyan's body and dressing him with medicine, but how could it be like she was in her own bed?
Wait a minute......
How could she hold something hot in her hand, and it still felt good......
"Don't move......" Zhao Huaiyan's forbearant voice came, Lin Jinyan's brain buzzed away, and she hurriedly took her hand away like an electric shock, and when she thought of Fang Cai's touch, her face was red and dripping blood.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her with her red face and closed her eyes, looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes, and couldn't help laughing: "It's obvious that you let me lie here without an inch, why are I still so shy?" ”
"I clearly ......" Lin Jinwen only felt that her throat was slightly hoarse: "I clearly slept on the warm couch, and you didn't have a change of clothes with me, your underwear was all wet with blood, and you couldn't wear my clothes, so I ......"
"Silly girl, it's okay." Zhao Huaiyan said in his usual calm tone: "Sooner or later, it's yours, if you want to ask for it in advance, it's okay." ”
Lin Jinwen's face turned even redder, but thinking about his injuries, she endured the idea of covering him with a pillow.
The two were talking when there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, Miss Xu is coming in a moment."
It was the voice of Mo Feng, and Lin Jinwen remembered that she was going to attend the birthday banquet of King Pingxi today.
She paused, then turned her head to look at Zhao Huaiyan and said, "Strange people came to the Xu Mansion yesterday, and I called Mo Yue back, so let them guard you." ”
"It's still my place in the capital, so don't worry."
Mentioning last night's incident, Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were dyed with a little sadness, but it quickly disappeared, and he only looked at Lin Jinwen deeply and said: "It's not early, you go first, but the king of Pingxi is not as honest as you see, this time I specially invited the Xu Mansion, there must be a purpose, you have to be careful." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, looked at his deep gaze, blushed to the base of her neck, turned her head and got out of the quilt, but it was okay if she didn't get up, and when she got up, she turned her head angrily to pinch Zhao Huaiyan's neck: "Why is there only a belly pocket left on my body......"
"You said it was too hot last night......" Zhao Huaiyan was very aggrieved.
Lin Jinwen only felt that her forehead was already sweating, and regardless of whether he was wearing clothes, she pulled the quilt and wrapped herself in a hurry to change clothes.
When he came out, seeing Zhao Huaiyan aggrieved with a pillow to cover it, he couldn't help squinting and laughing: "The prince is really in good shape?" ”
"Like?" Zhao Huaiyan showed his abdominal muscles.
Lin Jinwen's face was stunned, and she knew that she couldn't even play hooligans to fool him, so she had to cover him with the quilt again.
When leaving, Zhao Huaiyan suddenly called her: "Come here." ”
Lin Jinwen was puzzled, and walked to the bed, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by him, her body fell down, and her red lips were kissed by him.
After a while, Mo Feng's voice came from outside again, and Zhao Huaiyan let her go, and the corners of his lips unconsciously smiled, and said, "Go ahead." ”
Lin Jinwen pursed her lips slightly to see the crimson appearance of his cheeks, smiled and bowed, and then turned her head away.
When she left, Zhao Huaiyan's smile slowly fell, thinking of the upcoming wind and rain, he was even thinking about whether to involve her.
When Lin Jinwen packed up and went out, Xu Zhaozhao just arrived, stepped forward and hugged her affectionately and went out, saying as she walked: "I heard that Dingnanhou will also go today." ”
"Well, he is the Hou Ye, and the King of Pingxi will naturally not be invited." Lin Jinwen just thought it was ordinary.
Xu Zhaozhao said: "But I heard that Mrs. Dingnanhou's child is gone, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go for a while, so Dingnanhou intends to raise his wife." ”
Lin Jinwen raised her eyebrows slightly: "Flat wife? "Such an unseemly thing can only be done by ordinary people or merchants, and the Dingnan Hou Mansion is also considered to be everyone, how can they do such a thing?
"Yes, then Dingnanhou doesn't know what to think, I heard that he is going to promote his aunt, she is still an aunt who has only been in the house for a short time, and she has not had children, and her background doesn't seem to be very clean." Xu Zhaozhao chattered all the way, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Mrs. Xu and Xu Chengqing, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Lin Jinwen and the others got into the carriage with Xu Zhaozhao alone, and then continued to ask, "What is the origin of that aunt?" ”
"I don't know, it's very mysterious outside, some say it's a big family lady who is in the dust, some say it's a fine work from Fanbang, and some say it's a Gu master from southern Xinjiang, anyway, it's all kinds of nonsense." Xu Zhaozhao only heard it as a joke, so he only said it as a joke, but Lin Jinwen listened to it in her heart.
The carriage swayed for a long time, and finally arrived at the gate of Pingxi Palace.
got out of the carriage, and just heard the little guy at the door singing and "Wang Yushi is here with his wife!" ”
Lin Jinwen and Mrs. Xu glanced at each other before looking towards the door.
Wang Yushi seems to have lost a lot of weight, his face has sunk into his previous harmony, and Mrs. Wang is also a lot haggard, and she didn't bring Wang Ruyan or Wang Huiyuan with her.
Mrs. Xu sighed softly: "It's also a poor person." ”
"I'll go say hello in a moment." Lin Jinwen said.
Mrs. Xu bowed her head, and before a few people had taken two steps, there was a neighing of horses, and then the bells at the four corners of the carriage also stopped, and the curtain was lifted, and the person who surprised Lin Jinwen a little bit actually came.
Duan Hui helped the maid's hand get out of the carriage, led his son Ling Weiye, and the horse also coughed lightly while helping the little maid's hand to get down.
The colt seemed to see Lin Jin's wife, smiled at her and nodded as a greeting, Lin Jin's wife smiled lightly, and before she could speak, she heard a scream, and then saw a woman in tattered clothes with a sharp blade slashing at her.
She took two steps back, but before the woman could speak, she shouted: "Lin Jinwen, I will kill you!" With that, the blade slashed straight at her head.
Seeing that the sharp blade was about to fall on her, a cold light suddenly flashed, and a long sword pierced the woman's heart.
Everything happened in an instant, so that Xu Chengqing, who was standing in front, didn't even have time to react.
"It's really hateful to dare to commit murder in broad daylight!" Zhao Kan said coldly, coldly withdrew the sword, the woman's eyes were full of tears, and she fell to the ground unwillingly, convulsed twice, and lost her breath.
Lin Jinwen was stunned, she clearly saw the unbearable and struggle in this woman's eyes, she didn't mean to kill herself, or she didn't want to kill herself at all. Could it be that someone forced her?
Before she could recover from the shock, Zhao Kan immediately ran over and said a little proudly: "Miss Lin, are you okay?" Thanks to this king passing by today, I wanted to go directly to the palace, but I always wanted to go this way, but I never thought that I would save you. ”
Lin Jinwen glanced at him indifferently, could it be that he deliberately designed it to come to a hero to save the beauty and make herself fall in love with him?
No, this trick Zhao Kan has used, he knows that it doesn't work, and it is impossible to use it again so stupidly.
Just thinking about it, I saw a lady onlooker suddenly said: "Although this woman is hateful, it seems that she is also looking for revenge, how can the prince say that he will kill her, and he will not give her a chance to refute it, in case, she is really burdened with deep hatred?" ”
Lin Jinwen followed her voice and looked over, she faintly felt familiar with this person......
"It's just that some people look at the scenery on their faces, but they don't know how many dirty things they have done behind their backs." And humane.
Lin Jinwen looked over, isn't this Mrs. Liu of Qianhu, she just wants to be unhappy for herself, but the first person to speak, she has indeed seen it, when Concubine Xian framed the noble person in front of the Queen Mother, this lady was also there, sitting in the lower position of Mrs. Luo, and then Mrs. Luo left, she also left with her, but at that time her mind was not on them, so she didn't pay much attention, and at this moment she couldn't guess whether this person was the Queen Mother's person or Mrs. Luo's person, or the person who was now demoted to the person of the Lady Luo.
Just thinking about it, the people from the Pingxi Palace's Mansion have come out, after all, the King of Pingxi has a big birthday today, and it is also something that everyone sees that the woman is going to kill by herself, so no one makes trouble, and she quickly disposed of it and invited everyone in, but Lin Jinwen faintly felt that there was something wrong with the lady of Fangcai, and today's birthday banquet was not simple.
After entering the house and walking a few steps, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and when she looked back, she saw Zheng Jiaojiao looking at her with a smile: "Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Miss Zheng, your ...... is sick" Before she finished speaking, she saw the strange woman following Zheng Jiaojiao: "This is." ”
"I was about to introduce you to her, she just entered Beijing with the Governor of Huguang." Zheng Jiaojiao said.
The woman glanced at Lin Jinwen and smiled gently: "My name is Xue Wenxin, and Miss Lin can call me Xin'er." ”
Lin Jin's lips did not change, but her heart became cold, Miss Xue, who entered Beijing with the governor of Huguang, who else could there be besides the niece that Concubine Xian said.
