Chapter Seventy-One: Iniquity
Zeng Xuehai saw that Lin Jinwen didn't come back after going out with Mrs. Dingnanhou, and felt strange, and after a while, he saw the good-looking maid ring beside Mrs. Dingnanhou to invite Dingnanhou.
"Master Hou, Mrs. said that she was looking for you for something, please go for a trip." Yahuan's voice is delicate and soft, and Dingnanhou likes it the most. Hearing this, he only smiled at her: "Do you know what is going on?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, the lady knows that you will ask, let the slave tell you, and you will know when you go." Yahuan smiled shyly.
Dingnanhou took a look, and only glanced at Zeng Xuehai, and said: "You also go back and clean up, and tomorrow I will go to ask the emperor for marriage." ”
Zeng Xuehai hurriedly saluted: "Then thank you uncle." ”
Only then did Ding Nanhou turn around and leave, and his eyes fell on the delicate Yahuan next to him from time to time.
When he saw the person leaving, Zeng Xuehai straightened his back, remembering that he would be able to marry Wang Ruyan soon, and he was a little contemptuous: "My Zeng family is also a famous family, she is still thinking about other men, Mu has already escaped to Puji Temple, hum, I see how long she can hide from me." After speaking, he glanced at the little guy next to him: "Go, call Wang Huiyuan out, I should also let him discuss with his father, don't make a mess of the two families on the face, in the future, the Zeng Wang family will join forces, and there is also a Luo Mansion of the Ministry of Shangshu, which is invincible." ”
The little guy hurriedly answered and went out.
Zeng Xuehai thought that he would be able to turn over immediately, and his mood was more than twice as good, so he didn't care about Lin Jinwen not taking him seriously.
When he left the house and saw his carriage, he was now extra cautious, and asked people to check inside and out four or five times before daring to sit on it, and went straight to the best restaurant in the capital.
When the inconspicuous beggar on the side of the street saw that the carriage was gone, he slowly raised his head, pulled his broken hat, and turned his head in the other direction with the broken bowl.
Lin Jinwen came out of the Dingnan Hou Mansion, and after ordering the little beggar to peanut, she went back to the Xu Mansion first, thinking that she would arrange for her father to go out of the city yesterday, and there should be news of her brother coming back today.
When she returned to Xu's mansion, Mrs. Xu's eyes were slightly red when she saw her.
Lin Jin's heart lifted slightly, walked up to her a few steps forward, and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”
"Jinwu, I told you, don't worry." Mrs. Xu hesitated.
Lin Jincheng's heart began to beat a drum, knowing that the news of Bacheng was her brother's distress had spread, she nodded seriously, and Mrs. Xu took her hand and said: "Jincheng was ambushed on the way to the southwest, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and the emperor sent Zheng Lai to find it yesterday." She knew about the Zheng family's private grievances with the Lin family, not to mention that Zheng Lai deliberately designed Lin Jincheng to be captured by the enemy and almost died when he was on the battlefield before.
Lin Jinwen knew about the news yesterday, so she wasn't too shocked, and only asked, "But how is my brother?" ”
Mrs. Xu didn't notice her strange color, and only shook her head sadly: "There is no other news yet, but don't worry, your uncle has already entrusted someone to rescue her, Jin Chengfu has a big life, and there will definitely be no accident." ”
"I'm sorry uncle." Lin Jinwen didn't dare to tell her too much, for fear of causing her unnecessary trouble, but the emperor clearly knew what Zheng Lai had done, and he also knew that he had a corruption case, why would he send him over to rescue? Do you want to borrow Zheng Lai's hand to get rid of your brother, or do you want to borrow your brother's hand to get rid of Zheng Lai......
Lin Jinwen was also confused for a while, the sacred heart was unpredictable, especially this emperor was not only extremely smart, but also very powerful.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Mrs. Xu only patted her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, my aunt will definitely find another way with your uncle." ”
Lin Jinwen remembered that Old Madam Ling had mentioned that she asked her brother, Ling Mo, who is now the chief soldier of the Southwest, to help her brother, so can you ask him for help?
"Uncle, it is inconvenient for Jin to go to the princess's mansion for the time being, can you take a trip? Old Madam Ling has a brother who is currently the chief soldier in the southwest, and this time the county lord Yuan was ordered by the emperor to go to the southwest, if he is willing, he will definitely be able to help his brother. Lin Jinwen didn't plan to go by herself, and now there were still people staring at her, and her hole cards couldn't be shown to that person.
Mrs. Xu bowed her head, thought for a while, and said, "I'll go to Pingxi Wangfu again, Lord Yuan is a person from Pingxi Wangfu, and they will also find a way to come." ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen bowed her head gratefully, and Mrs. Xu was busy preparing a carriage and leaving.
She returned to her yard from the front yard, Mo Feng was already waiting, and said about the situation she had followed last night: "These people seem to have come prepared, but they didn't want to hurt Miss." ”
"That person just wants to warn me, and it has something to do with King Ning." She took the tea handed by Yahuan and sent everyone out.
"Do you want to inform the prince about this?"
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, this matter is related to him, and she has to tell him.
She felt a little headache, I don't know if it was because of the wind or because she had been thinking about these things. Leaning on the warm couch and sitting down, he said slowly: "I am mainly thinking now, what is the purpose of the emperor sending Zheng Lai to rescue, only after guessing the emperor's thoughts, can we take the next step." ”
"Why don't you ask the prince, he knows the emperor best." Ink Wind proposed.
Lin Jinwen looked at her and smiled helplessly: "Then you can write to him and ask him." ”
Mo Feng hurriedly responded, and seeing that her complexion was not too good, he said with concern: "Miss is not in good health?" ”
"Xu is the wind blowing during the day, you go down to arrange it first, you have to enter the palace tomorrow, you can't delay." Lin Jinwen rubbed her eyebrows, only thinking about tomorrow, and when she entered the palace tomorrow and dealt with Ru Yan's affairs, she should still be able to probe the queen's tone.
After thinking like this, he leaned on the edge of the warm couch, gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Mo Feng told Mo Xue to be optimistic, and then walked out quickly.
At this time, in the capital.
Zeng Xuehai met Wang Huiyuan as promised, and led him to the private room.
Seeing that he was haggard, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Wang, why are you so haggard, don't you regret it?" ”
"Naturally, I won't regret it, you married Ru Yan as promised, treat her well." Wang Huiyuan just hated Lin Jinwen for killing Lin Zisu, and he didn't have the evidence to identify her. Thinking of Lin Zisu's last sentence of 'I hate you' that day, his heart was like a knife.
Zeng Xuehai sneered: "I will naturally marry people, tomorrow my uncle will enter the palace to ask the emperor for marriage, but now Ru Yan is still concerned about other men, and she refuses to even return to the capital, if I marry her, won't I have to endure her treating me like this in the future?" ”
Wang Huiyuan frowned and looked at him: "What do you mean?" Ru Yan is a good girl, if she marries you, she will definitely abide by her duty and be a good wife. ”
"Of course I know, it's just that she seems to be too resistant to me, and I want to see her alone again......"
"Zeng Xuehai, don't make an inch!" Wang Huiyuan was annoyed, he sent Ru Yan to his bed, just so that Ru Yan could agree to marry, but he didn't want to destroy her reputation again and again.
Zeng Xuehai saw that he shouldn't, his eyes darkened, and he hurriedly laughed: "I'll just make a joke, why is Brother Wang so angry?" You and I are confidant brothers, I don't know you yet, don't worry, even for your sake, I will definitely be good to Ru Yan, not to mention that I still like her so much, don't I? ”
Wang Huiyuan turned his face coldly, and only said coldly: "Is there anything else you asked me to do?" ”
"Yes, I heard that the emperor recently sent Zheng Lai to rescue Lin Jincheng who was in distress?" Zeng Xuehai asked with murderous aura.
"What do you want to do?"
"Nothing. It's just that Lin Jincheng wants to rob my beloved woman, and the people of the Zheng family caused me to lose this leg and become a cripple......" He remembered the pain of the horse flying up and stepping on his knee that day and the Zheng family's waist card found at the scene later, even if there is no sufficient evidence that it is the Zheng family, but eighty percent can't be wrong, Zheng Lai also had a disagreement with the Zeng family in the early years, although it is a trivial matter, but it is difficult to ensure that Zheng Lai is not a villain who will be revenged.
Wang Huiyuan turned his head to look at him: "Do you want to kill them together?" ”
"That's not it, as long as Zheng Lai has an accident, he won't be able to bring someone to rescue Lin Jincheng, maybe Lin Jincheng will be killed by those bandits, do you know what I mean? I heard that the corruption case on his body has not been investigated clearly, Wang Yushi has always been upright, and he should also participate in a book. Zeng Xuehai's abacus in his heart sounded, and he could calculate the Zheng Lin family, and he didn't have to make his own move, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds?
Wang Huiyuan gritted his teeth slightly, he didn't want Lin Jincheng to come back alive, it was better to die outside.
"This matter ......" He hesitated slightly, if Lin Jincheng was again, would Ru Yan really hate him?
Zeng Xuehai seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are Ru Yan's own brother in the end, can she still hate you for an outsider?" Your brother and sister friendship for more than ten years, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she will not not understand. ”
Wang Huiyuan was bent on revenge, and when he heard this demagogic words, he also nodded: "I'll go back first." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Zeng Xuehai watched him leave with a smile, and then went downstairs.
Before getting into the carriage, he carefully checked it again to make sure that the carriage was fine, and then sat down.
The peanut behind the big stone lion in the inn looked at the iron nail that had just been driven into the horse's hoof, smiled lightly, and chased after the carriage.
Zeng Xuehai was happy today, and the carriage ran fast. From here back to Zengfu, to cross a stone bridge over the moat, the carriage ran smoothly, but when the horse stepped on the bridge paved with goose warm stones, the iron nails that had been driven into the horse's hooves suddenly got into the flesh, and it began to run from side to side.
Zeng Xuehai knew that something was wrong as soon as he heard the movement, so he quickly lifted the curtain to look, and saw that the horse was crazy, so he jumped under the carriage without saying a word.
He rolled on the ground a few times and stopped safely, smiling proudly, but he didn't notice that the place where he rolled down happened to be next to the kitchen of the tavern next door, and on the second floor, someone had already boiled a large vat full of boiling water, and when he stayed downstairs alone, he poured the boiling water directly, he couldn't avoid it, and then he heard a terrible scream.
When Peanut arrived, there were already many onlookers, and Zeng Xuehai had already fainted alive, and his whole body was red, as if his skin had been burned.
The little guy in Zeng's mansion was even more stunned this time than the last time he was kicked by a horse, because this time Zeng Xuehai was afraid that he would not be able to see anyone for the rest of his life.
Zeng Xuehai's personal servant was about to go to the tavern owner for trouble without saying a word, but those who inquired a little knew that this tavern was an industry under King Jing's name.
Peanut saw the two gorgeously dressed sons who came out of the main gate casually, winked at them, they also nodded slightly, Peanut smiled with satisfaction, Miss said, let them come here as Zheng Mansion to set up a private room to ask for hot water, even if King Jing wants to check at that time, he will definitely not be able to find the beggar who looks like he can't even eat.
After Peanut beckoned the two to leave, he looked at Zeng Xuehai, who was unconscious, hurriedly pulled down the tattered cloth hat, and after begging for a round of money, he pretended to go to Xu's mansion as usual.
Lin Jinwen lay down on the warm couch and rested here, until she felt a warm breath on her face, she opened her eyes suddenly and met the person in front of her.
"It's you!"
She never thought that it was him, who saved him in Puji Temple, and later witnessed him kill Zhizhou's son with his own hands in Yuzhou, but she never thought that he would dare to come to Xu's mansion in a grand manner.
Helian Jing didn't expect her to be pretending to sleep, so he couldn't help but hug his chest and laugh evilly: "I thought you were really asleep, after all, the medicine I gave you was colorless and tasteless." ”
"Since I'm a doctor, how can I not know my body, and the sudden sleepiness can have anything other than drugs?" Lin Jinwen wanted to get up, but her body was still a little soft, and she didn't see Mo Xue's figure: "What did you do with Mo Xue?" ”
"Let her sleep a little longer, after all, she is Zhao Huaiyan's person and a beauty, how can I be willing to poison her?" He glanced at Lin Jin's hand, there was warm tea, and poured himself a cup, the entrance was a faint floral fragrance accompanied by a sweet but not greasy taste, a little surprised: "What kind of tea is this?" ”
"Jasmine Honey Tea." Lin Jinwen responded to him lightly, but her palm slowly pinched the beeswax pill sealed with the drug prepared in the morning.
Helian Jing drank the tea with satisfaction, and then looked at her with a smile: "You are really different, whether you are ruthless or clever, but Lin Jinwen, you can't fight that person, you are an ant in front of her." Do ants know? It's an ant that can be pinched to death at any time. ”
"Who is she? Who are you? Lin Jinwen looked at him and asked.
"I'm not here to tell you who she is, but I don't change my name or surname, you can just call me Helian Jing. For the sake of you who saved me, I'm here to tell you that if you agree to come with me now, I might be able to save your life. Helian Jing looked at her with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold, but she was very good-looking, and it was good to take it back for viewing.
"She's your master?" Lin Jinwen asked him guessingly.
Helian Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "So what?" Isn't it? ”
Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "If so, wouldn't you betray her by coming to me now?" If not, you must have some other purpose in taking me away. Is it about the prince? I remember you said that you came to the capital this time to ask him for something back. ”
Helian Jing looked at her with more and more interest, leaned over and met her eyes, but said with murderous intent: "The more you know, the faster you will die." ”
"You think I'm afraid of death?"
"But you're afraid of other people's deaths. Your family, your friends, and even your family...... Lin Jinwen, you really have too many weaknesses. Helian Jing shook his head regretfully: "If it weren't for that, even if you were a daughter, you would be able to make a career." ”
"What I want has never been a career, Gongzi Helian, I have let people check the piece of topaz you gave me before, it is the admiration of the acting pavilion master of Yunshuijian, you are the acting pavilion master, so what about the real pavilion master, is it the 'she' you just said?"
"You want to trick me?" The corners of Helian Jing's mouth hooked up with evil energy: "Lin Jinwen, you are still a little tender." If you don't come with me, you'll know how weak you are until you die. ”
Lin Jinwen slightly clenched the hand in her sleeve, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "Presumably, the emperor will not want the forces of Yunshui to coerce the power of the court, who lives and who dies, it is not certain." ”
When Helian Jing heard this, he looked at her with more and more appreciation: "You're not timid? Lin Jinwen, I really doubt what you have experienced as a boudoir lady. ”
Lin Jinwen is not afraid of him to investigate, and he will never find out about the things in his previous life.
Just thinking about it, Helian Jing saw the beeswax pill in her palm, paused, and didn't feel dizzy.
When Lin Jinwen saw that he found out, she no longer covered it up, and only smiled lightly: "Your master has already sent someone here, since you are strong in martial arts, how can I entertain you with drugs?" This is ten spiced soft tendons, a pack of one or two silver in the pharmacy, a pack of only ten pieces, I will give you all of them. With that, he said loudly: "Someone! ”
"Lin Jinwen, you ......" Helian Jing stared at her with wide eyes as before: "I'm kind enough to help you!" ”
"Then we're even." Lin Jinwen said indifferently, the footsteps outside were approaching, Helian Jing had no choice but to climb out of the window in embarrassment, and did not forget to stare at Lin Jinwen when he left: "I told you, you can't fight the person behind you at all, I advise you to stay away from Zhao Huaiyan, otherwise if you die, I can only peel off your beauty skin and paint." ”
"Then you should also be careful that you die that day, and I will feed the dogs!"
Helian Jing's face froze, looking at her indifferent appearance, he pouted: "Count you ruthless!" With that, he hurriedly turned around and left.
As soon as he left, the maids outside hurriedly ran in, saw her leaning weakly on the side of the warm couch, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, go wake up Mo Xue." She looked at the used beeswax pills in her hand, and she admired her ability to make up blindly, where did she have time to buy any ten-spice soft meridian powder, this is just a medicine that is more powerful than the drug, but Helian Jing didn't suspect it, and she didn't have the luck to check it.
Not long after, news came that Peanut asked to see him, Lin Jinwen asked people to recruit him in, looked at his immature face, and told himself about Zeng Xuehai in a slightly messy way, only then bowed slightly, and said, "Hide your people, don't be caught by the tail." ”
"Miss, don't worry, I made them change into the Chinese clothes stolen from the Zheng family, and if you want to investigate, you will find out the Zheng family." Peanut smiled.
Lin Jinwen saw that he was smart, and remembered what Fang Cai Helian Jing said, her brows twisted, and then she said: "Go to the silk village tonight, withdraw a thousand taels of silver from the shopkeeper Zhang, and bring it to me in three days." Lin Jinwen took out her waist card and gave it to him.
After Peanut heard this, the whole person was stupid. One thousand taels, he has not seen much of the silver of one or two white flowers, let alone a thousand taels!
He was in a trance, looked at Lin Jinwen and said, "Miss, I don't dare to take the peanuts, I'm afraid that I won't keep them well." ”
"You can use some and give me the rest in three days, I trust you." She told a lie, peanuts are too small, but people are very clever, and their backgrounds are more simple and simple, and they are people who can be cultivated. One thousand taels is indeed a lot for him who has been begging since he was a child, so she wants to see if he will be the next Zhu Wucai.
Peanut looked at Lin Jin's shining eyes, gritted his teeth, and nodded firmly: "I will definitely live up to Miss's trust!" ”
Lin Jinwen smiled faintly, and then sent him out.
Mo Xue was almost sober at this time, Lin Jinwen asked her to immediately go to Mo Yue to find out more information about Shui Yunjian and Helian Jing, and now that she has some clues about the person behind the scenes, she wants to find out the identity of 'her' as soon as possible.
When it was getting late, Xu Boshan came back with Mrs. Xu, and the two went to the study to talk for a long time before deciding to hide it from Lin Jinwen first, and only let Xu Chengqing tell her that everything was going well.
When Lin Jinwen saw that Xu Zhaozhao didn't come, she knew that things were not so simple, Zhaozhao was simple, and the words could be set out at once, but Xu Chengqing was much more stable.
Xu Chengqing saw that she was silent, knowing that she didn't believe it, so she had to say: "Jincheng, there is still the prince here, and my uncle is also gone, Jincheng will not have an accident." ”
"Well, I believe in the prince." Lin Jinwen knew that Zhao Huaiyan would definitely do her best, so she only looked at Xu Chengqing and said with a smile: "It's already the tenth day of the first month of March, and it will be spring in a few days, has my cousin been ready?" ”
Xu Chengqing smiled lightly: "You still have time to worry about me." ”
Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "My cousin is also my brother, and Jin's sister should not favor one over the other." ”
"I have to tell Zhao Zhao this, she doesn't take my own brother seriously." Xu Chengqing pretended to be serious, and the two glanced at each other, and they both laughed.
The Xu Mansion has temporarily settled down, but there has always been an undercurrent in the capital.
When Zheng Ruyi heard about Zeng Xuehai during the day, he knew that Bacheng was inseparable from Lin Jinwen. Now as long as something strange happens in the capital, she also habitually puts it on Lin Jinwen, feeling that all this is manipulated by her.
The carriage swayed for a while, and finally stopped, and the maid outside said, "Miss, it's here." ”
"Hmm." Zheng Ruyi replied slightly, opened the curtain and saw that there was a pitch-black forest around him, and only a faint fluorescence fell in the forest, making people barely see the people in the forest clearly.
The man in the forest put on a mask, looked at her, and said in a low voice, "Can you bring the silver?" ”
"Naturally, I brought it." Zheng Ruyi clutched a stack of silver tickets on the side: "Yunshui has always been reliable in doing things, I want to know how many days after I give you the silver, I can do good things." ”
"And see what you're going to do. Although Yunshuijian is an organization of rivers and lakes, it has its own rules, that is, it will never interfere in court disputes, let alone the struggle for the throne between the princes. The masked man spoke in a low voice, his voice as if there were no emotional fluctuations, like a machine that communicated.
Zheng Ruyi gritted his teeth slightly: "I naturally know the rules, what I want you to do this time is just a piece of cake for you." After speaking, he threw out the silver ticket in his hand, and the man quickly caught the silver ticket like a ghost, and returned to his position in an instant.
"Five thousand taels ......" the man glanced at the silver ticket lightly: "It's not enough to buy a human life." ”
"How much does that cost?"
"Look at people, ordinary 10,000, the most recent person in the capital, the starting price of 100,000, the royal people don't kill." The masked man said indifferently.
Zheng Ruyi gritted her teeth, where did she get so much silver, these five thousand taels were forced by the old lady to give to Mrs. Liu of the thousand households.
She said coldly: "I don't want to take people's lives, but I want Zheng Jiaojiao from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and I want to appear at the gate of the Liu Mansion tonight." ”
"Yes." After the masked man finished speaking, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zheng Ruyi looked at the five thousand taels and disappeared, and his fingernails pinched into his palms. If she hadn't been able to deceive Zheng Jiaojiao, she wouldn't have used such a strategy.
When Yahuan saw that the people were gone, she timidly asked her, "Miss, where are we going?" ”
"Go to Liu's Mansion." Her eyes dimmed, and she directly let the carriage go. But when she thought of the Gu mother in her stomach, another wave of nausea struck, almost making her vomit. Tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't bear the nausea with her eyes closed, only reciting the two names that made her unforgettable: "Zhao Kan, Lin Jinwen......"
As soon as she left, another figure appeared in the forest.
The masked man looked directly at him and said respectfully, "Pavilion Master, how to do it?" ”
"If you take the money, you have to do things, how to do it, but we don't mess with the royal people, but we must remember it clearly." Helian Jing said coldly.
The man immediately bowed.
After a pause, he said, "Pavilion Master, the master has been looking for you for a long time, can you go to see you today?" ”
Helian Jing clenched his teeth: "I haven't asked Zhao Huaiyan to return my account yet, if I see her, won't she want to obstruct me again?" Missing. With that, he turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness, but he didn't know that on the other side of the forest, the person he didn't want to see had already been there watching everything.
Zheng Ruyi went all the way to the outside of Liu's mansion, looked at the mother-in-law of Liu's mansion who greeted her diligently, and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from her sleeve and gave it to her: "Take people outside the mansion, and the rest will be none of your business." ”
The mother-in-law only thought that Zheng Ruyi wanted to find her stupid son who was always pestering her to vent her anger, and she didn't think much about it, and nodded hurriedly: "Miss, don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely do it." After that, she turned her head and was about to leave, but Zheng Ruyi looked at her back coldly and said, "I have checked, your son is now twenty years old, but because of his short stature and ugly appearance, he has never married a wife, right?" ”
The mother-in-law was cold, and hurriedly turned her head to look at her: "Miss Zheng, slave maid ......"
"What are you afraid of?" After Zheng Ruyi finished speaking, he pushed the maid ring next to him forward: "It's done, she is your future daughter-in-law." If it can't be done, your family will go to the underworld for a reunion. ”
The maid was so frightened that her whole body was like sifting chaff, her eyes were full of tears but she didn't dare to make a sound, the mother-in-law hesitated, and nodded with a full fifty taels of silver tickets: "The slave understands." ”
Zheng Ruyi raised her hand and asked her to do it.
She wasn't worried that her mother-in-law would betray herself, because the person who threw Zheng Jiaojiao was from Yunshuijian, and it was this mother-in-law who deceived the fool, and she didn't leave the slightest evidence.
She turned to look at the killers hired by the carriage, and drew out two hundred taels of silver tickets each: "Neat point." ”
The two killers glanced at each other, took the silver ticket and went down.
In the middle of the night, it began to rain in the sky. The spring rain was very violent, accompanied by thunder and lightning, so frightened that people put out their candles and hid in the quilt and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being struck by lightning.
At the door of Liu's house, a tall man came out of the door stupidly, and the mother-in-law behind him urged him to hurry up, but he didn't understand, he just walked out quickly, and saw a person lying on the ground from a distance, thinking about what his mother taught, so he ran forward with a stupid smile and ran forward to untie his trouser belt and planned to play with her, but two black shadows flashed behind him, and the long sword pierced his heart in an instant, and before he could make a sound, the person fell in a pool of blood.
The mother-in-law behind the door saw all this through the crack in the door, her face turned pale, and she knelt down weakly, but she covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound.
The sound of the drizzling rain was like a lullaby in the night, and Lin Jinwen lay down on the bed near midnight and fell asleep slowly.
When I woke up the next morning, I heard Mo Feng hear that the son of the Liu family had been killed, and there was an unconscious Zheng Jiaojiao at the scene.
Lin Jinwen put down the soup in her hand and sighed slightly, knowing in her heart who did it.
"Zheng Ruyi, this is forcing Old Madam Zheng and Zheng Lai to a dead end." offended the secretary of the Ministry of War, the most unpleasant must be Zheng Lai and Mrs. Zheng, coupled with the evidence of the Zheng family left by himself yesterday, the Zheng family will inevitably collapse with one blow. She didn't expect Zheng Ruyi to be so ruthless to herself, Zheng Lai fell, and all she could rely on was Zhao Kan. Since Zhao Kan has placed a Gu mother in her stomach, she is bound to not let her have an accident for the time being.
Lin Jinwen paused, and the corners of her mouth were a little sarcastic. With Zheng Ruyi's current means, she will definitely no longer willingly wait for Zhao Kan's Gu mother to die, Zhao Kan has never really liked her, but uses her as Gu Mother's food, in the previous life, people who said that they loved each other in life and life, will they start torturing each other in this life.
"If something happens to Zheng Lai, then Lin Gongzi ......"
"Your letter has been sent to the prince, presumably the prince will make a decision soon, no matter so much for the time being, we have to deal with things one by one." Lin Jinwen got up slowly, watched the drizzling rain outside, and held up the pear blossom-colored oil-paper umbrella on one side and walked forward slowly.
I want to enter the palace today, Mrs. Xu can't accompany her even if she wants to, so she can only wait for her at the door early, and when she saw her coming, she stepped forward to greet her, and said with a smile: "Jinwu, if you have anything to tell your aunt, don't be alone in your heart, you know?" ”
Lin Jinwen smiled and looked at Xu Zhaozhao, who was looking at her and stopped talking, knowing that she must not be able to hold back the fact that she would tell herself that Mrs. Xu went to see Mrs. Ling and King Pingnan yesterday, in fact, she could also guess that no one could guess what the emperor meant, and everyone chose Mingzhe to protect themselves.
After Lin Jinwen and the others said goodbye, they got into the carriage with Mofeng and went to the palace.
Soon before Lin Jinwen arrived at the palace gate, Mrs. Dingnanhou arrived, wearing a fresh begonia color embroidered rich peony long skirt, wearing a crescent white cloak, hairpin and gold and silver headdress, the whole person is a lot younger, especially the spring in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows when she walked with the hand of the maid ring, and she looked young and attractive.
She walked up to Lin Jin's wife, her face flushed slightly, and she smiled lightly: "Your method is really good, but Master Hou is still resting at this time, I'm afraid that I will delay entering the palace to ask for a decree." ”
"There is no rush to ask for a decree, Mrs. Hou doesn't have to worry." Lin Jinwen's heart finally let go.
Mrs. Dingnanhou smiled, held her stomach and went inside.
They came to see Huijue in the name of the queen, although Huijue had seen the queen mother, but still lived in the place where the imperial doctors lived, separated from the palace concubines, so Mrs. Dingnanhou led Lin Jinwen over in the name of asking for medicine, but it was not surprising to see Huijue who was discussing with the imperial doctors whether it was useful to pray to God and worship Buddha or to take medicine.
When Hui Jue first saw Mrs. Dingnanhou, he didn't know what to do, but when he saw Lin Jinwen who came with him, he immediately became energetic.
Mrs. Dingnanhou went to ask for medicine first, and Lin Jinwen walked to the side of the tea table with Huijue by asking about the future.
Hui Jue turned her back to everyone and asked her in a low voice, "Miss Lin, after seeing the Queen Mother last time, she didn't seem to believe me very much. ”
"If I don't believe you, you should be thrown into prison right now. This time, I want you to help me with one thing. Lin Jinwen said lightly, raised her hand and took a shallow sip of the teacup.
When Huijue heard her words, his heart was a little calmer: "You say, as long as you can......
"Have you heard about the Queen Mother's sister?" Lin Jinwen said.
Huijue naturally knew that he had inquired about all this before entering the palace.
He looked at Lin Jinwen and asked, "Do you want me to help you also point out the reincarnation of a jade girl under the Guanyin seat?" ”
"Wang Ruyan."
"The daughter of Wang Yushi?"
"That's right......" Lin Jinwen paused: "Also, I want you to point out that Mrs. Luo, who came to ask this time, has been violated by a monster, as for what it is, you don't have to say, Mrs. Luo knows it in her heart." "The Luo family will inevitably try their best to cover up the Gu worm, just because Zheng Ruyi dares to do this, and he also shows off his might, it must be that Luo Shangshu does not dare to investigate even if he is resentful in his heart, so this is why it is like this. But Zhao Kan raised Gu, she had to let everyone know!
Although Hui Jue didn't know what to do, he still nodded, but he also hesitated to look at her: "When can I get out of here?" It's boring to be here all day long with these old pedants arguing with me. ”
"It's coming soon, it's almost spring." The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were slightly hooked.
"The person who helped you, can you still know that the top three are not successful?" Wisdom and light are shining.
Lin Jinwen shook her head: "If you say it word for word, even if the Queen Mother believes you, the emperor will definitely think that someone is cheating." The emperor is a Ming monarch, and the most unbearable thing is the fraud in the imperial examination, so you don't have to say who the top three are, just say it roughly. ”
"Those are ...... people?"
"In the top three, two zodiac signs belong to snakes and one belongs to rabbits, both of which are born in the second half of the year." Lin Jinwen said lightly. The top three in the imperial examination in the previous life because of Jiang Qingshu, she remembered it very clearly, and the top three in this life were not much affected by herself, Zeng Xuehailin Xiteng and others who participated in the Spring Festival in the same year were already a hundred, but Wang Huiyuan, the fourth, and finally became the imperial history like his father.
Hui Jue was also stunned when she saw her say so carefully, and it just so happened that Mrs. Dingnanhou had already asked for medicine.
She smiled and glanced at the two of them before she said to Hui Jue: "The master will also show me how this fetus is." ”
Lin Jinwen checked Mrs. Hou's pulse yesterday, and the pulse was stable, and there was no sign of slippery tires, so she nodded.
Hui Jue replied, "It's good." ”
Mrs. Dingnanhou was relieved, and then said casually: "Recently, there is an extra fox in the house...... Auntie, I was so angry that I didn't sleep well for several days, as long as it didn't affect the child. ”
Lin Jinwen paused slightly, in her previous life, the concubine who made the Marquis of Dingnan so favored that she did not hesitate to divorce her wife and marry is still entering the Marquis of Dingnan's mansion.
Lin Jinwen dipped her hand in tea and wrote the word 'reverse' on the table.
Huijue was very smart, and he understood it at a glance, and then said to Mrs. Hou of Dingnan: "This little concubine is afraid that she is Mrs. Hou's nemesis, Mrs. Hou must pay more attention and don't see her again, otherwise it will hurt the child." ”
"Really?" Madame Hou exhaled softly.
When those imperial doctors heard it, they were all a little disdainful, believing in Buddhism was good, but where did the living Bodhisattva come from in this world?
Huijue ignored them, and only nodded seriously.
Mrs. Hou was worried and wanted to ask more, so she saw a decree from the Empress Dowager's palace asking him to see him.
Huijue hurriedly got up and asked more: "I don't know what the Queen Mother is looking for a poor monk?" ”
The people around the Queen Mother were all human spirits, and she only smiled: "It turned out that Mrs. Luo wanted to see you, so you should go with the slave maid." ”
Hui Jue glanced at the calm Lin Jinwen, and then concealed the surprise in his heart and went with her.
As soon as he left, Lin Jinwen smiled at Mrs. Dingnanhou and said: "Madam, don't worry, let's go to the queen's place to sit first, the queen is in charge of the harem, there are always some ways to teach you to avoid good fortune, right?" ”
When Mrs. Dingnanhou heard this, she patted her hand gratefully: "Fortunately, you have an idea for me." With that, he walked quickly to the queen's palace.
Lin Jinwen walked out of the Tai Hospital, but she glanced at the direction in which Huijue left, and her cold eyes were dyed with a slight smile.
What she didn't know was that when she arranged all this, Wang Ruyan, who almost committed suicide, also woke up from her grief.
Puji Temple Buddha Hall.
Yahuan saw Wang Ruyan, who had been kneeling in front of the Buddha statue for two days and two nights holding the Buddhist scriptures, and only stepped forward lightly and said, "Miss, the slave maid heard that Lin Gongzi still hasn't been found." And the eldest prince seems to want a copy of General Zheng. Yahuan was also trembling when she said this, and she didn't know whether to say that Wang Huiyuan was bad.
But Wang Ruyan was extremely calm, she smiled lightly and said, "Go and tell my mother, we will go down the mountain and go home today." ”
"But you're ...... Miss."
"By the way, Yingtang died to save me, and you have to bury her under her favorite acacia tree, you know." She said softly, her eyes as calm as a puddle of water, without a trace of waves.
Yahuan bit her lip slightly, wanting to remind her that Yingtang's least favorite thing in her life was the acacia tree, but seeing her wholeheartedly chanting, she didn't dare to disturb, so she had to retreat quietly.
As soon as Yahuan left, Wang Ruyan slowly opened her eyes, looked at the majestic Bodhisattva Dharma in front of her, and tears flowed down her eyes: "Bodhisattva, if you can see the sinner girl and hear what the sinner girl said, it will be good to punish me to the eighteenth layer of hell in the future, so that I will never be reborn, please bless me to live longer than them, and please bless Lin Gongzi...... When she returns safely, the sinner will live twenty years to pay for it. With that, he slowly leaned over and knocked down heavily.
When her head touched the cold ground, there was a thud, shattering all her innocence.
Yingtang was watched coldly by her until the night she drowned, she knew that she was not worthy of Lin Gongzi in both body and mind.
