Zhu Wucai had been waiting outside the city for a while, followed by a copper-covered mule cart and a courteous servant.

After waiting for a long time, the servant said, "The shopkeeper's ......"

"Call the master!" Zhu Wucai glanced at him and snorted lightly: "Master, I will be a big official in the future, and whoever sees me in the future will have to bow his head and call me Master Zhu." ”

The servant was also clever, and immediately responded: "Yes, Master Zhu, how long will we have to wait here?" I'm afraid that the nobles are impatient to wait. ”

Zhu Wucai was also a little annoyed when he heard this, looked towards the city, and said, "This dead old woman, why haven't you come yet." ”

"Will it be detained?" Servant Road.

Zhu Wucai shook his head: "Lin Jinwen, this person, treats her subordinates as relatives, hehe, I just took some silver from her, and the old woman has done so much with her, she won't do anything to her, maybe she will reward her with some entanglement." ”

"Really?"

"It's not serious, that loser girl ......" Zhu Wucai was sarcastic again, and secretly laughed in his heart that Lin Jin's daughter was stupid, not only let Mother Yang catch so many handles, but also handed over the shop to him to manage without reservation at the beginning, and in the end, wasn't it empty of people and money.

As she was talking, a woman hurriedly ran towards her, and Zhu Wucai took a look, wasn't it her mother-in-law, Mother Yang.

Mother Yang came over with a real one hundred taels of silver tickets, and Zhu Wucai immediately turned around and got into the carriage, but Mother Yang hesitated.

Zhu Wucai saw that she hadn't followed yet, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "What are you doing?" The nobles are in a hurry. ”

Mother Yang couldn't say why, she always felt a little flustered: "I'm still not at ease, Zhu Wucai, Miss is not an ordinary person, I ......"

"She's just a little trick, what are you afraid of? Besides, now that she let you go, can you still catch up? Zhu Wucai snorted lightly.

Mother Yang still felt that something was wrong, and when she remembered what Lin Jinwen specially told her, she hated betrayal the most, they ran away with the silver, at most it was a cheat, but as Zhu Wucai said, she wanted to see the nobleman, but it was a betrayal.

She was still not at ease, and said: "Forget it, let's take this silver and go, thousands of taels, when I left, the young lady gave me another hundred taels, we just went to buy a hundred and ten acres of land and invited a bunch of servants are enough." ”

Zhu Wucai saw that she actually retreated, suddenly turned cold, and pulled to the side of the carriage and said coldly: "You can think clearly, the person we are going to meet, but the four ......" He said a word, and swallowed again: "If you dare not go, it will be a dead end, and do you want to be an ordinary person who is bullied everywhere for the rest of your life?" A lady of a mere six-grade and a thousand households can bully us to death, and I Zhu Wucai has such a big ability, I don't believe that I can't earn a six-grade official. ”

Mother Yang glanced at him who didn't know him, and said angrily: "Do you think it's so easy to be a six-rank official......"

"Okay, don't be verbose, you have to go back alone, if you don't go back, get in the car now." Zhu Wucai said coldly.

Mother Yang looked at her man, thinking about Lin Jinwen, hesitated for a while, but still made up her mind and got into the carriage.

Unbeknownst to them, Mo Xue was already following behind.

Xufu.

Although Lin Xiyu and Lin Jinwen have torn their faces in private, they are still sisters on the surface, even if Lin Duan becomes a concubine, Lin Xiyu is also her concubine.

Mo Xue was not there, she found a mother-in-law who understood etiquette in Xufu and went to Jingwangfu to send a condolence gift, but she didn't go in person.

Cai'er was serving on the side, and seeing that she was just reading by the warm couch as if nothing had happened, she smiled lightly: "Miss, Miss Zhaozhao just sent someone to ask, can you go to the princess's mansion tomorrow?" ”

"Go naturally." Lin Jinwen turned the pages of the book lightly before continuing: "Tell her to be careful tomorrow." ”

"Yes." Cai'er retreated.

Lin Jinwen looked at her back as she turned her head and went out, and knew that it was time to send her away.

Because of Lin Xiyu's death, Zhao Kan didn't want to accept Zheng Ruyi as a side concubine immediately, but he also sent news to the Zheng Mansion, which was considered to have decided the matter.

Mrs. Liu also comforted her son and said that she was going to be able to marry Zheng Ruyi soon, and suddenly someone from Zheng Mansion came to regret her relatives, and she immediately brought more than a dozen family members to Zheng Mansion.

Mrs. Zheng also had a headache and refused to see her, who knew that Mrs. Liu was in trouble at the door of the house, and Mrs. Zheng had to come to the door to see her in person, and she shouted affectionately: "Mrs. Liu, ......what are you doing here?"

"What to do? Our Liu Mansion has given people candy, and if you say that you regret your marriage, you will regret your marriage, don't you take my Liu family in your eyes like this? Yes, my Liu family is not as good as your Zheng Mansion, but you have to think clearly, humiliating the Liu family like this, the Liu family must not give up! Mrs. Liu's eyes widened like copper bells. She has always paid attention to some manners, but she also ran away to save Zheng Lai, and the Zheng family turned around and came to regret the marriage, and her face was lost.

Old Madam Zheng was also bitter, and only said: "It's really His Royal Highness King Jing who wants to marry my family Zheng Ruyi as a side concubine, that's why it's like this." ”

"King Jing? Will you fall in love with your broken flowers and willows? She deliberately shouted at the house, Zheng Ruyi's yard was not far from here, and she could hear it clearly.

She sat in the room with a blushing face, just waiting for this Mrs. Liu to leave.

Old Madam Zheng couldn't hold her face a little, and only said: "This time the Zheng family did something wrong, what do you say?" It's King Jing......"

"I don't care, since you admit that you did something wrong, then lose money, my bride price and candy are ready, you can't let me waste it in vain." Mrs. Liu didn't go around the bend and said directly.

When Mrs. Zheng heard the money, her heart tightened slightly: "How much do you want?" ”

"Ten thousand taels of silver." Old Madam Liu is not afraid of the lion's big mouth.

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her heartbeat missed a beat, and she immediately turned cold: "Your family's bride price is going to cost 10,000 taels?" ”

Mrs. Liu only said fiercely: "If you don't give it to me, you will go to Mrs. Dingnanhou and Princess Duanhui to complain, saying that you cheated on marriage, and now you have to cheat King Jing, your son is afraid that he will not think of it in this life, he is now carrying the crime of corruption, if it is strictly investigated, maybe more will be found." ”

Mrs. Liu threatened vigorously, and Mrs. Zheng had been dealing with her for a long time, but she didn't have less than half a tael of silver, and in the end, in order to stabilize her first, she could only agree.

Mrs. Liu was sarcastic again, and then turned back.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Zheng immediately went to Zheng Ruyi's yard, saw that she was still sitting on the edge of the bed and embroidering the wedding dress, so angry that she pulled the wedding dress over and threw it on the ground: "You can get me the 10,000 taels of silver, if you can't make it up, you will die in this house and don't want to get married." ”

Zheng Ruyi's eyes were slightly red, and she raised her eyes to look at her: "My mother's bones are still cold, grandmother, I am also your own granddaughter, why do you embarrass me like this?" I'm fine, isn't it good for Zheng Fu? ”

When Old Madam Zheng heard this, she was a little weak-hearted, so she only pursed her lips and said, "You have a bad reputation, how can you be good to the Zheng Mansion?" Marrying into King Jing's Mansion is also a side concubine, if you have the ability, you will rescue your father. “

"I'll save it, of course." Without Zheng Lai, she is just an empty shell concubine in King Jing's Mansion.

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she was in a better mood, and only said: "You made up the silver earlier, and if you didn't, you went to borrow it from King Jing, he is a dignified prince, it is impossible to have no silver, and then rescue your father, otherwise, you will be expected to marry." With that, he turned his head and stepped on her wedding dress and went out.

Zheng Ruyi's eyes were so sore, but he didn't let the tears flow. She looked coldly at the direction in which the old lady left home, and there was murderous intent on her face. If you don't treat me as a human being, I won't let you go.

On the second day, the weather was already fine, and with the coming of spring, everyone fell into a tense atmosphere, except for the tragic incident that happened at the gate of King Jing's Mansion was still being quietly discussed, most of them were talking about the imperial examination.

When Lin Jinwen got up early, she couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw that Mo Xue hadn't come back yet, but Cai'er pushed open the door with a smile and came in, seeing that she hadn't changed her clothes yet, she smiled and presented the brocade box in her hand, and said with a smile: "It was sent by Ning Wangfu, and the prince will also go to Princess Duanhui's banquet today." ”

"Really?" Lin Jinwen was a little surprised, he said that he would leave in a few days, and she was always worried that she would not be able to see him like this.

Cai'er smiled and brought the brocade box and said, "Naturally, the slave can still deceive you, so you can change your clothes first." ”

Lin Jinwen bowed slightly, and as soon as the brocade box was opened, a set of cherry-red long skirts appeared in front of her.

Wide-sleeved tunic collar long skirt, the neckline is embroidered with plum blossoms with darker red thread, and the skirt is scattered with plum petals.

Cai'er watched her pull back a flying fairy bun, a golden hairpin inlaid with rubies and a step shake, a plum blossom dress on the center of her eyebrows, rouge dyed makeup, her neck was white and slender, and the whole person had a cold temperament, like a cold plum blooming on a branch in winter, and the beauty was amazing.

Lin Jinwen saw that she was like this again, and only raised her hand and nodded her forehead: "You don't have to go with you today, stay in the mansion." ”

"But Miss ......"

"Don't leave the house, understand?" Xufu is still safe.

Cai'er was also afraid that she would cause her trouble, so she nodded obediently.

Xu Zhaozhao and Xu Chengqing had already changed their clothes and were waiting at the door, when they saw her coming, Xu Zhaozhao's jaw was about to fall in surprise, but Xu Chengqing squinted his eyes and nodded in satisfaction; "Zhaozhao, you learn a little, a sister like Jin Wu can only have face if she takes it out."

Xu Zhaozhao glanced at him, then quickly ran to Lin Jin's side, smelled the shallow fragrance on her body, and said in surprise: "What sachet did you bring, so fragrant?" ”

"I deserve it myself, and I have one for you and your cousin." She took out a pink sachet from her sleeve and a gray sachet embroidered with white plum and gave them each.

Xu Chengqing sniffed it and looked at her in surprise: "Is it medicine?" ”

"The insect repellent smells good." Lin Jinwen bent her eyes and smiled lightly, the most important thing is to temporarily drive away Gu worms.

The two of them took it with a smile, and the three of them went to find Mrs. Xu and got into the carriage to the princess's mansion together.

The road to the princess's mansion from here was not far, and it didn't take long for the carriage to stop in front of the princess's mansion.

Old Madam Ling specially instructed Mother Zhu to wait at the gate of the mansion last time, and when she saw Lin Jinwen and the Xu family coming, she greeted her with a smile and said, "Mrs. Xu, Miss Lin, my old lady is waiting for a few people in the flower hall." ”

Mrs. Xu saw that she was respectful to Lin Jinwen, and she only smiled politely, and asked people to give a reward, so she followed her in.

When leaving, Lin Jinwen suddenly saw a familiar figure limping in front of her, Zeng Xuehai!

Zeng Xuehai was supported by a beautiful woman, she recognized at a glance that it was Ye Ling, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and she did hear Ru Yan say that Zeng Xuehai accepted her as a concubine.

Lin Jinwen frowned slightly, Xu Chengqing noticed that she was wrong, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I've seen the old man." Lin Jin's eyes were faint, and then she went inside.

It didn't take long to see Old Madam Ling, she looked good, and when she saw Lin Jinwen coming, she also got up herself.

Mrs. Xu secretly looked at it, and pulled a few children forward to greet her, and then sat down with greetings.

Lin Jinwen saw Old Madam Ling looking at her with smiling eyes, and knew that the pony's illness should have been suppressed.

After talking for a while, I saw a little maid coming outside, and said, "Old lady, princess, please go out, the stage is ready." ”

"Okay, let's go to the show." The old lady liked Lin Jinwen, and even had a much better attitude towards Mrs. Xu, and said to her: "You can also go to the play with me, many ladies are here, and the children are young, so they will play by themselves." I will let Mother Zhu follow me throughout the whole process, and nothing will happen. ”

Seeing that Old Madam Ling was so thoughtful, Mrs. Xu responded naturally.

Lin Jinwen and Xu Zhaozhao's brothers and sisters were able to come out and walk around this huge princess's mansion freely.

However, the word narrow road is really true, and before a few people arrived at the most lively place, Zeng Xuehai was greeted by them.

Zeng Xuehai saw Lin Jinwen for the first time, and he couldn't take his eyes off in amazement, Xu Chengqing naturally blocked in front of Lin Jinwen and the others, and then smiled at him: "This son has bad eyes?" ”

Zeng Xuehai hadn't seen Xu Chengqing yet, and when he saw her with the Xu family, he also guessed his identity, so he only smiled perfunctorily: "There is no one in the world whose eyes are better than mine......"

"Oh, that's bad legs and feet, a person just wants to block the middle of the road, I don't know, I thought it was a crab in the sea, I only know how to walk sideways." Xu Chengqing was still smiling gently.

Xu Zhaozhao knew that her brother was very venomous, and when he heard this, he secretly smiled.

Zeng Xuehai felt a little embarrassed in front of the beauty, so he only forced a smile and said: "It's Miss Lin behind you who is too beautiful, so I was stunned for a while, and they all said that they were red and bad, and now it is really fulfilled, I just glanced at this peerless beauty, and I was so insulted by you." ”

"What a red face."

When an indifferent male voice came, Zeng Xuehai only felt a chill on his back, and hurriedly removed the gaze that fell on Lin Jinwen and turned his head to salute: "Lord Wang." ”

Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him lightly: "Is your leg good?" Can it come out? ”

"Thanks to the Prince's Blessing ......"

"Blessed King Toben, you should have died a long time ago." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking indifferently, he glanced at Lin Jinwen, and saw that she was also looking at herself calmly, her phoenix eyes were dyed with a smile, and then she said to Xu Chengqing: "Young Master Xu is coming with this king." With that, he turned and walked away.

Xu Chengqing didn't worry that Zeng Xuehai was still here, but Gao Yu winked at him.

Xu Chengqing had heard that this Ning Wang Ye was very protective of Jin Wu, and after thinking about it, he didn't say anything and followed.

They left, but Gao Yu didn't.

Zeng Xuehai didn't take him seriously, and as soon as the people left, he turned his head and smiled strangely at Lin Jin'er: "I heard that Miss Lin has a very good relationship with Yan'er, I don't know how she is now?" I really wanted to see her day and night, but she wasn't in the house, hey, it's a pity. ”

It was the first time that Lin Jinwen wanted to blow up his dog's head like this, but unfortunately Mo Xue was not there.

Just as she was thinking, Gao Yu walked over, picked up Zeng Xuehai and threw it into the fish pond on one side.

Zeng Xuehai's whole body was clouded, and the fishy pond water choked into his mouth and nose, making him immediately shout: "You are crazy!" ”

"Didn't Zeng Gongzi fall between the collision of his hands and feet on me?" After Gao Yu finished sarcastically with a cold face, he turned his head and saluted Lin Jinwen and Xu Zhaozhao: "Miss, let's go to the backyard to play, and if anyone dares to be disrespectful to Miss, just call her subordinates." ”

Xu Zhaozhao nodded with a smile, and Lin Jinwen also responded with a light smile.

When leaving, Lin Jinwen didn't forget to look at Zeng Xuehai and said with a smile: "Zeng Gongzi has heard the cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is unhappy?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I went to the mountain to chant a few days ago, but I have some understanding, so I told Zeng Gongzi." Lin Jinwen said lightly, and then turned her head to leave.

Zhu's mother was also very interested in not letting people save Zeng Xuehai immediately, and when Lin Jinwen came out of this hanging flower door, this was the only way to let people save people.

Lin Jinwen followed Zhu's mother to the place where the ladies gathered, called Guanhaiyuan, the so-called sea, because there is a big artificial lake here, and there are carved beams and painted buildings in it, and the landscape is also very exquisite, but it can be regarded as enough to 'view'.

Unlike the usual hiding on the side, Lin Jinwen walked straight to a crowded place, and when she saw Zheng Jiaojiao who was talking happily with someone, she walked over with a smile.

When Zheng Jiaojiao saw her coming, she accepted it from the awkwardness at the beginning, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Is Miss Zheng getting better?"

"I didn't relapse, but it still hurt when I lost my temper." She sighed.

Lin Jinwen knew that she had a big temper and that it was natural for her to hurt.

Lin Jinwen looked at the jealousy in her eyes lightly, and only smiled lightly.

Sun Wanwan naturally arrived at such a banquet, and when she saw Lin Jinwen and Xu Zhaozhao from afar, she only felt embarrassed, and simply planned to turn her head and walk away, but she didn't want to bump into the people who came over.

She smelled the fragrance on the tip of her nose, hurriedly stepped back half a step to look at the comer, with the previous lesson, she was quite calm, and said, "Which young lady are you?" ”

"I'm from the Zheng family." Zheng Ruyi looked straight at her and said.

"The Zheng family?" Sun Wanwan was excited, it was not the Zheng family of the Ministry of War, she laughed busily, and said: "I was transferred to the capital with my father, my surname is Sun Wanwan, you can call me Wanwan, I don't know what Miss Zheng's maiden name is ......."

"I heard that the daughter of Sun Shilang's family is beautiful and talented, I heard that the first few princesses and princes are talking about poems by the koi pond, I wonder if Miss Sun is willing to appreciate her face and go over?" Zheng Ruyi smiled softly and avoided his name.

Sun Wanwan has long been yearning for the capital, she has only heard of characters such as the prince and princess before, and she has never seen it, seeing that she is the Miss Zheng family again, and she is willing to invite herself, she is naturally happy.

Zheng Ruyi lowered his eyes and turned sideways; "This way, please." After that, he went with her to the outside of the Guanhu Garden.

Lin Jinwen had noticed Sun Wanwan a long time ago, but when she saw her standing by the Hanging Flower Gate, as if she was talking to the person behind the Hanging Flower Gate, she didn't care.

As she was talking, Zheng Jiaojiao said again: "I heard that Zheng Ruyi is about to marry His Royal Highness King Jing?" ”

"No, I don't know what's wrong with King Jing, and I want that kind of broken flowers and willows." Finally, someone couldn't hold back.

Zheng Jiaojiao glanced at her: "In the end, King Jing, you should be careful when you speak." After that, she looked at Lin Jinwen again, she knew the grievances between Lin Jinwen and Zheng Ruyi, her eyes rolled, and she said, "Miss Lin, I heard that your sister died at the gate of King Jing's Mansion yesterday?" She is the concubine of King Jing, how could she be killed so easily? ”

Lin Jinwen knew that she wanted to talk to her, and it was best to identify Zheng Ruyi as the mastermind behind the scenes, but on the same day that it was rumored that she was going to marry into King Jing's Mansion, Lin Xiyu, who was also a side concubine, died, and she was indeed the most suspicious.

Lin Jinwen shook her head slightly, and only sighed slightly: "I only heard about yesterday's incident later, I think it's because of the jealousy in Ye's heart, so I stare at it." It's a pity that if Ye hadn't been released from prison, this wouldn't have happened. ”

"How was the Ye clan released?" Zheng Jiaojiao seemed to have found a breakthrough, staring at Lin Jinwen carefully, not wanting to miss the expression on her face.

Lin Jinwen only shook her head slightly: "I haven't been to the government to ask ......."

When the ladies on the side heard this, the bolder ones also quietly discussed, pouting to go to the government to check, after all, Zheng Ruyi was a broken flower and a willow, and she was going to marry a fool to show everyone a joke, but as soon as she turned around, she was about to become a noble concubine of King Jing, who can balance her heart?

Xu Zhaozhao didn't understand the intention of Lin Jin's words, so he leaned in and said softly: "Sister Jin's sister, let's go elsewhere." "She really doesn't like the chattering faces of these young ladies.

When Lin Jinwen saw that her goal was achieved, she naturally didn't stay much, but she asked people to redeem the Ye family, which was indeed the name of Zheng Ruyi.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth hooked up coldly.

The two of them took their leave, but did not go anywhere else, and from the edge of the huge lake, there happened to be a dense hill with a gazebo on it, which happened to be quiet and could see the situation below.

The two of them went up and sat down, and soon a maid came to serve tea.

The breeze is coming slowly, the little sunlight is just pouring in, standing down the gazebo, you can see the whole crescent-like lake, the breeze blows the lake water, it is very pleasant.

Not long after the two sat down, they heard a burst of laughter.

"What you said is true?"

"Then there can be a fake, if it weren't for Wang Huiyuan's death and death to send Wang Ruyan to my husband's bed, how would my husband marry her?"

The woman's tone was very light and contemptuous.

Lin Jinwen's brows furrowed slightly, and she turned her head to look, who else could Ye Ling, who was not married to Zeng Xuehai?

Ye Ling was still walking on the Tingbu, because there were many dense trees on the side of the pavilion, but she didn't find Lin Jinwen, so she only continued with the person next to her: "Don't look at how cold and jade that Wang Ruyan is, I heard my husband say that night was full of amorous feelings, and I don't know what a shameless and dissolute woman she is in private." ”

Xu Zhaozhao was a little uncomfortable when she heard it, she knew that Lin Jinwen and Wang Ruyan were close, so she deliberately said to Lin Jinwen in a loud voice: "Sister Jinwen, the sparrows flying here from nowhere, chattering, noisy to death." ”

When Ye Ling heard this, he immediately paused, and then glared at the maid who followed beside him, and the maid hurriedly ran forward to the pavilion, and saw that it was really Lin Jinwen, so he saluted and said, "The slave has seen Miss Lin." ”

"You don't have to salute me." Lin Jinwen glanced at her indifferently, and then walked out of the pavilion and saw Ye Ling, a beautiful young woman in a peach-colored robe and fat powder.

Ye Ling was a little plump, adding a bit of charm, the spring love at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was like a peach blossom blooming in May, and her watery eyes were becoming more and more seductive, she must have been very favored by Zeng Xuehai, otherwise a concubine, where would she dare to come to the banquet in the princess's mansion?

When Ye Ling saw her, she was jealous at first sight, and then instantly turned into joy and affinity, and took a few steps forward and smiled: "Jinwen, you are also here, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are really getting better and better." ”

"When I came, Zeng Gongzi was thrown into the waterhole, why didn't Aunt Ye go to serve, but instead enjoyed the flowers here." Lin Jinwen said lightly.

"What? Who threw it? Ye Ling didn't know about this, it was rare to come to such a place, and she wanted to make more noble friends.

"Lord Ning threw it." Xu Zhaozhao also walked over, looked at the young ladies who followed her, and said, "By the way, your aunt and Lin Zisu passed away yesterday, have you ever gone home to see it?" ”

"I ......" Ye Ling's face was slightly hot, but he only smiled reluctantly and lowered his eyes, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes: "I also want to go, but now that I have married into the Zeng family, it is the Zeng family, my aunt and Zi Su are the ones who made mistakes, how can I go back to visit?" ”

Xu Zhaozhao frowned, not knowing how to refute.

Lin Jinwen only glanced at the dodgy lady in yellow beside her, wasn't that the young lady of the Hanlin family who had been following Zheng Jiaojiao before.

She said indifferently: "Since Aunt Ye has married into the Zeng family, she should naturally be dominated by the Zeng family. ”

Ye Ling smiled, she didn't want to talk to her more, so she just said, "It's not early, I'll go to find my husband first." With that, he hurried away.

Lin Jinwen didn't hold back, and watched them go down the mountain, so she sighed slightly in her heart and said to Xu Zhaozhao: "The banquet is about to start, let's go down too." ”

"Well, but this Zeng family is really disgusting, they did those dirty things, and now they can still say it complacently." Xu Zhaozhao was a little angry for Wang Ruyan.

"Cycle of cause and effect, he will be punished. But you can't say that again. "The Xu family is still a pure place, so they can't provoke this trouble. And if Ru Yan really marries, she can't cause trouble for her because she fell out with Ye Ling and Zeng Xuehai.

Xu Zhaozhao naturally understood, nodded and said no more.

The two went down the mountain, and the banquet began after a while, and there were a lot of people who came today, except for the Nine Emperors and Zhao Huaiyan who left Beijing, and several other princes and princes had arrived.

Princess Duanhui and the concubine sat at the top, with joy on their faces, and the royal people sat together at the top.

When Mrs. Xu saw them coming, she also walked over, with a little hurry in her steps. She looked at the two of them and said with a deep gaze, "You guys will go back first in a while." ”

"Mother, what's wrong?" Xu Zhaozhao is watching the excitement.

Mrs. Xu took Lin Jin's hand and asked in a low voice, "Did you see the old lady of the Luo family before?" ”

Lin Jin's head bowed: "Yes, she should be in good shape now." ”

"No, Mrs. Luo's look was wrong when she saw me this time, I asked Mrs. Ling to ask, but it turned out that Mrs. Luo had a bad illness somehow, and some doctors said that it was because of the medicine you prescribed, and now her life is on the verge of death, and I don't know if I can save it." Mrs. Xu's expression was a little serious, but she was quite calm: "This matter has not spread yet, and the Luo family is not sure that it is you, but today I am worried that someone will be in trouble, after all, you have just treated the horse." ”

Xu Zhaozhao was also anxious: "What can I do, why don't we go back to find my father first?" ”

"That's what I mean, you go and call Shangqing'er to go back to the house together, I'll mention it to Old Madam Ling later, and then go back." Mrs. Xu said.

Lin Jinwen knew the seriousness of the matter, but Mrs. Luo was sick, and eighty percent of it was someone else's hand.

She paused before she said, "Who is the imperial doctor who treated Old Madam Luo?" ”

"I don't know, it seems that there are two imperial doctors." Mrs. Xu said.

Lin Jinwen bowed slightly, and found out whose orders the two imperial doctors listened to, so that she could know who instructed them.

She didn't stay long, and quietly withdrew with Xu Zhaozhao.

Ye Ling saw the three of them talking with serious expressions in the back, so she paid attention, and when Lin Jinwen and the others left, she was busy with Zeng Xuehai, who had just changed her clothes on one side: "Husband, Lin Jinwen is afraid that something has happened." ”

"Now that King Ning is here, what can happen to her?" Zeng Xuehai was still afraid of King Ning, even if he was angry, he could only hold it back, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Ye Ling saw that he was displeased, and he didn't dare to say any more, so he suppressed all the doubts in his heart again.

Lin Jinwen went out with Xu Zhaozhao, and happened to meet Zhao Kan coming from the corner, saw her, and just stood playfully looking at her: "Miss Lin." ”

"The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness King Jing." Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes and saluted.

Xu Zhaozhao saw Sun Wanwan following behind him, and said strangely: "Miss Sun is also here?" ”

Sun Wanwan's face turned crimson and retreated, looking at her that she didn't have the same flattery as before, she only smiled perfunctorily: "I just happened to be on the same road as Miss Zheng." ”

Zhao Kan only looked at Lin Jin's drooping eyes, her skin was like clotted fat, and her face was like a peach blossom, she was really a stunning beauty, but it was a pity......

"Miss Lin is in such a hurry, where are she going? Now the banquet is about to begin. Zhao Kan deliberately blocked in front of her and didn't leave.

Lin Jinwen felt that the jade butterfly attached to her wrist began to heat up again, and raised her eyes to look at him, could it be that he had Gu worms on his body? only said: "The courtier's family has an urgent matter, I'm afraid I have to leave first, since the banquet is about to start, the prince is please." ”

Zhao Kan smiled coldly: "This king heard that General Lin's trip to the southwest was in distress, and now his whereabouts are unknown, you should really be anxious." ”

"What?" Lin Jinwen clenched her fists, her brother was in danger?

"Don't you know? My father has already issued an order, and General Zheng Lai Zheng personally led the troops this afternoon without rescue, but it is a pity that there are bandits in such a remote place in the southwest, and I don't know if General Lin still has the possibility of surviving. Zhao Kan said, seeing her shocked and unwilling look, leaned over to her ear and whispered: "If you come to beg me, maybe I can help you save him, just leave a whole corpse, right?" ”

"Brother Jiren has his own natural appearance, so he won't waste King Jing's time. The courtiers heard that Sister Shu died tragically at the gate of King Jing's Mansion yesterday, and the Ye family was even beheaded by someone from King Jing's Mansion. With that, he took Xu Zhaozhao and left straight past him.

Zhao Kan was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at her back and laughed: "Lin Jinwen, I didn't expect you to be so calm, then the king will see how long you can calm down, what I just said will be effective at any time!" ”

Lin Jinwen didn't stop to look at him, Zheng Ruyi looked at Zhao Kan's predatory eyes on the side, gritted her teeth secretly, and only stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, it's not too early, it's time to go in." ”

Zhao Kan glanced at her, didn't look at it anymore, and turned his head away.

Zheng Ruyi knew that Zhao Kan was extremely interested in Lin Jinwen now, and what she couldn't get was always the best, but it was a pity that she didn't understand this truth until now. She watched Zhao Kan leave without looking back, and slowly clenched her fists.

Lin Jinwen quickly arrived at the front yard, but the front yard was very large, and the subordinates didn't know where Zhao Huaiyan went, and even Xu Chengqing was gone.

She was a little anxious, looked around the front yard, didn't see anyone, and was about to leave the house immediately, but before she stepped out of the mansion, she saw that Xu Chengqing had already greeted her: "Jin's sister-in-law, Zhaozhao, why did you come out?" ”

Xu Zhaozhao said anxiously: "King Jing said that Cousin Jincheng had an accident......

"He told you." Xu Chengqing didn't have a good opinion of Zhao Kan when he arrived, and when he saw that Lin Jinwen, who had always been calm, was anxious, he said: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness King Ning received the notice and immediately went to make arrangements, but he will leave Beijing tomorrow, so everything has been explained to me, and I will go to my uncle in a while and ask him to set off for the southwest." ”

Lin Jinwen also means this: "The southwest is dangerous, tell my father to be careful." ”

"Uncle is a battle-hardened general in the end, His Royal Highness King Ning can rest assured of him, you can rest assured, and this time Uncle took this opportunity to go out of the city, His Royal Highness King Ning has other arrangements." As soon as Xu Chengqing thought of Zhao Huaiyan's plan, he felt that this person's city was really deep, but he was also very smart, and even he admired himself who had always been the smartest.

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's go back to Xu's Mansion first." Mrs. Luo's affairs still have to be dealt with, and she wants to see who is making trouble behind her back.

Xu Chengqing bowed: "I'll send you back." ”

Lin Jinwen should go down.

Several people quickly returned to Xu's house, and Mo Xue, who went out with Yang's mother yesterday, also came back, and was also injured, with a long blood mark on her left shoulder, and she was also very weak.

In the flower hall, Mo Feng followed her side and bandaged her wound briefly, and when she saw Lin Jinwen coming back, she stepped forward to salute.

"What's going on?" Lin Jinwen quickly asked people to get the best medicine for injuries, Mo Xue looked at her concerned look, and said with a light smile: "The slave is fine, but the slave is busy, but the slave and maid found out that Zhu Wucai was indeed bribed, and that person was none other than His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

"The Four Princes? The fourth prince who gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson? Lin Jin's wife Hansheng asked, in his previous life, he was just a vassal of Zhao Kan, cowardly and incompetent, and he didn't have any intelligence, so it shouldn't be him.

"It's him, but he is very strange, the questions he asked Zhu Wucai and Mother Yang are all about Miss and His Royal Highness King Ning." Mo Xue said softly.

Lin Jinwen also hesitated, it was indeed wrong, the fourth prince was really mediocre in qualifications, and he had never made any splashes in his previous life, how could he suddenly be wise in this life? Unless someone is behind it. And the person behind him doesn't care about his secrets, but cares about his own affairs with Zhao Huaiyan, could it be that the person is mainly for Zhao Huaiyan?

"Has Zhu Wucai dealt with Mother Yang?" Lin Jinwen asked.

Mo Xue bowed her head, but her face was strange; "Without waiting for the slave and maid to make a move, the four princes took the killer first, but found the slave and maid hiding in the shadows, so they chased and killed all the way. But don't worry, the slave didn't reveal her identity, and after dumping the person, she met the ink wind and came back. ”

Lin Jinwen bowed slightly, seeing that she was really weak and couldn't hold on, before she said, "You rest first, and I will handle the rest." ”

"Yes." Mo Xue responded, and then someone helped her down.

Lin Jinwen thought about it, but she couldn't figure out who the person behind it was, could it be the same person who designed Mrs. Luo?

She was lost in thought, but it was slowly getting dark outside.

After Mrs. Xu came back, she immediately told Xu Boshan about the matter, and Xu Boshan went out before he had time for dinner, and he didn't come back until midnight.

In the room, Mrs. Xu hadn't slept all the time, and when she saw him coming back, she stepped forward to take off her cloak for him and asked, "Can you inquire about it?" ”

"Well, it's Imperial Doctor Liu and Imperial Doctor Zhang in the palace, both of whom are commonly used by the queen." Xu Bo Mountain Road.

"Could it be the queen's mother......"

"I don't know." Xu Boshan interrupted her words and sighed slightly: "The Luo family has some friendship with these two imperial doctors, so it is normal for Mrs. Luo to invite them over when she is sick, but I heard that Mrs. Luo seems to have suddenly become ill and is still in a coma." ”

"Will there be anything wrong with Jin's wife?" When Mrs. Xu thought of Lin Jinwen, her eyes turned red with distress: "This child is pitiful, he has no mother, and he has been repeatedly calculated by the closest people, so he has a good life, how can he be remembered again." ”

"The forces in the court are already complicated, and Jin Wu is the daughter of Lin Luzhi and the future Princess Ning, so she will naturally be pushed to the cusp." Xu Boshan looked at her extremely distressed appearance, sighed and patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Don't worry, tomorrow I will enter the palace to ask the emperor, and ask him to send other imperial doctors to see if there is really a problem with the medicine prescribed by Jin Wu, the prescriptions were clearly written at that time, as long as the prescription is found, it can also prove our Jin Wu's innocence." ”

"That's good." Mrs. Xu wiped her tears, which was a little relieved.

Lin Jincheng's story has not spread, so they don't know yet.

At night, Mo Feng passed the news from Xu Boshan to Lin Jinwen, and Lin Jinwen also hesitated, who could it be? Empress? She doesn't have a conflict of interest with her, she wouldn't choose to do such a thing suddenly when Huaiyan left Beijing? It's not like Concubine De, after all, the Luo family is not an ordinary family, not to mention that the two imperial doctors commonly used by the queen are not vegetarians.

The two were thinking about it, and suddenly there was a muffled snort outside the courtyard, Lin Jinwen remembered that Cai'er who was going out to get hot soup just now, so she hurriedly opened the door and ran out, but there was no figure of Cai'er in the dark night.

When he was puzzled, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the East Garden of the Xu Family, and it was noisy.

Lin Jinwen paused, suddenly realized something, looked at Mo Feng and said, "Immediately our yard will burn down the West Wing." ”

Mo Feng saw that she was serious, knew that it was not too late, and did not think much about it, so she immediately did as she was told, and Lin Jinwen immediately woke up the people in the courtyard, and did not step out of this room alone in half a step, if she guessed correctly, today's Xu family fire was the first step of the serial plan of the people behind the scenes, and Fang Cai's muffled snort was the second step to lead her into the urn.

But since someone wants to catch turtles in the urn, she can also use the urn to catch people!
