Chapter Ninety-Seven: No Wonder
The Yikun Palace is very quiet, only the smell of the spices that the queen has been burning in the past is still there.
When Lin Jinwen came in, the palace people on both sides stood with their heads bowed and their eyes down, silently like wooden people, and there was no ice in the room to cool off the heat, and it was very stuffy.
Lin Jinwen walked forward for a while, only to see the queen leaning on the beauty couch with empty eyes, just a few months gone, the grace and grace on her body before seemed to be gone, only a trace of loneliness and death, maybe she felt that she was robbed of the phoenix seal, and was imprisoned in Yikun Palace, which is equivalent to entering the cold palace.
When she heard the voice, she didn't raise her head and said, "Bengong said, if you are not hungry, you don't need to bring food." ”
"Mother." When Lin Jinwen heard this, she stepped forward and saluted.
Hearing a different voice, the queen finally raised her head, and when she saw that it was her, her eyes flashed: "How could the emperor allow you to come to the palace?" Could it be that Huaiyan has already taken ......?"
"The prince is still outside the palace, and the emperor asked the courtiers to come to tell the mother that the mother has been grounded." Lin Jinwen knew what she was going to say, and before she finished speaking, she didn't care about the etiquette and interrupted directly.
The queen didn't believe it, how could the emperor lift his grounding for no reason?
"What's going on, how could the emperor suddenly be like this?" The queen asked her suspiciously.
"It's because it's about to be the Queen Mother's birthday, and Concubine De interceded with the Queen Mother for you, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor agreed." Lin Jinwen tried her best to explain things clearly, looked at her complicated eyes, and said with a smile: "The emperor is still worried about his mother, otherwise how could he agree." Why don't you change your clothes now, and go to thank you. ”
When the queen heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, revealing a slightly cool smile: "Your Majesty, whether he is affectionate or ruthless, I'm afraid only the dead concubine will know." ”
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinwen frowned slightly, and glanced at Mo Feng: "You all go out and wait, I will serve the mother to change clothes." ”
Mo Feng immediately responded, and took the palace people to the door to guard, and his ears also paid careful attention to the surrounding movements.
When everyone left, Lin Jinwen stepped forward and whispered: "Someone is secretly watching, Niangniang, be careful." ”
The queen glanced at her and said, "I didn't expect the emperor to send you over." ”
"After the death of Jiacairen, the emperor mistakenly thought that the prince and you had the intention of rebellion, and he has been cautious. Lin Jinwen finished speaking in a low voice before she said loudly: "Niangniang, the courtiers will serve you to change your clothes." ”
The queen's palms tightened slightly: "Jiacai is dead?" ”
"I'll tell you later." Lin Jinwen lowered her eyes and said, Jiacairen's death is also thanks to the spices she has smoked all day long.
The queen also slowly pulled out of the previous loneliness and stood up, but she didn't let Lin Jinwen serve, and went to the inner room to change clothes alone.
Lin Jinwen saw that she still had such an attitude towards herself, so she could only be silent, but fortunately, she had calmed down and had a general understanding of these things, so there would definitely be no more moths.
It didn't take long for the queen to change into a palace robe and come out, a phoenix robe embroidered with a bright yellow and colorful phoenix, and gold jewelry with rubies, which made her temperament noble again, but after this incident, she seemed to be more cautious and more timid.
After changing his clothes and leaving Yikun Palace, he went to Cining Palace.
The queen walked in a small sedan chair, and she didn't care about Lin Jinwen at all, Lin Jinwen had to walk behind, because she couldn't run in the palace, and she was thrown away by the queen after a while.
Mo Feng took the opportunity to say on the side: "Miss, why doesn't the queen seem to accept your affection at all?" ”
"She is a high queen, and the stubbornness in her bones makes her never bow to me." Lin Jinwen is also helpless, obviously she is about to marry Huaiyan, and she is also a person with the queen, but she wants to use her as a stumbling block and a thorn in her side.
Mo Feng glanced at the back of the queen leaving, and was cold in his heart: "Last time, she almost killed Miss in Puji Temple, but now she doesn't have a word of thanks, it's really not worth the risk of Miss taking so much thought for her." ”
Lin Jinwen only sighed slightly; "Thinking about her is thinking about the prince." It's inseparable.
After she finished speaking, she didn't think much about it, and sped up her speed to follow, but before she reached Cining Palace, she saw a palace maid coming out of the corridor on one side, stopped and saluted her, and then said: "Lord Chunhe, Concubine De Niangniang is invited." ”
Lin Jinwen secretly glanced at Mo Feng on one side, and then turned her head to look at the palace maid: "I want to go and restore the queen mother and the emperor first......
"Don't worry, Concubine Fang Caide has already sent someone to Cining Palace to tell you for you, you go to Yonghe Palace first." The palace maid smiled, looking like she was going against Concubine De if she didn't leave.
Lin Jinwen saw that the matter had come to this, so she had to compromise, but when she turned to leave, Mo Feng deliberately lagged two steps behind, and when they turned around, they hurriedly turned their heads and slipped away.
Lin Jinwen looked at the palace maid who was following on the side, and only asked casually, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Jing came to the palace today?" "I heard the emperor say that Zhao Kan was coming to say goodbye, and now he should still be in Yonghe Palace?
"Yes."
"Niangniang summoned me over this time, is it also for King Jing's business?" Lin Jinwen said again.
"This ......" the palace maid looked at her hesitantly and said, "The slave and maid don't know, I'll know when the county lord goes." You can rest assured, in the end it is in Yonghe Palace, and nothing will happen. ”
"I didn't think anything would happen, after all, the Queen Mother and the Emperor also knew that I went to Yonghe Palace, right?" Lin Jinwen listened to her words and said.
When the palace maid heard this, her eyes flashed, and she smiled reluctantly: "Yes." ”
Seeing this, Lin Jinwen already understood in her heart, but she was afraid that no one would go to Cining Palace to say anything, if she didn't go back for a long time or something happened, Concubine De could also be inferred that it was because she didn't follow the rules and didn't return to Cining Palace in time, but Mo Feng had already arrived at Cining Palace at this time.
As she walked, she thought that it would not be long before she arrived.
The palace ladies of Yonghe Palace were all standing under the porch, and the door of the palace was half-hidden, as if they were deliberately not letting people see the situation inside.
Lin Jinwen looked around vigilantly, expecting that if Zhao Kan went crazy again, Concubine De would not allow it, so she walked in, but the palace maid did not accompany her but stayed under the corridor.
She only stepped in with one foot, and before she could stand firmly, she felt a cool breeze hit beside her, because Zhao Kan went crazy that night, she had already prepared, and before the figure approached, the silver needle in her hand had been pulled out, and while his arm was wrapped around her waist, she stabbed it hard.
Zhao Kan immediately bounced away his hand in pain, looked at the bright silver needle on his arm, and didn't understand why it hurt like this.
"Are you going to kill me?" He exasperated.
Lin Jinwen saw that it was really him, and Concubine De was sitting in the first seat as if she couldn't see it, so she took two steps back slightly, and stood at the door of the hall so that the people who came in outside could also see her, and then said coldly: "If Your Highness has to despise the courtiers, the courtiers would rather die together." ”
"You don't like me that much?" Zhao Kan felt sad inexplicably.
"The courtiers are not mountain women who don't understand etiquette, and if you want to be so noble as the prince, you won't not understand." Lin Jinwen's tone was half a point and there was no pleading.
Zhao Kan was about to step forward, but Concubine De put the teacup on the table and said, "Kan'er, haven't you made enough trouble?" Chunhe and the county lord are going to die with you, you still can't let go of this obsession, isn't it because someone has cast a demon spell and lost your mind? ”
"Mother concubine ......" Zhao Kan wanted to say more, but Concubine De didn't want to listen anymore, so she only commanded in a deep voice: "Come on, Lin Jinwen dared to hurt King Jing, and dragged her down for thirty years to set an example." ”
Lin Jinwen's palms tightened slightly, no matter what she did today, Concubine De would have to take this breath.
Immediately, a palace maid came in outside, and Zhao Kan scolded: "Retreat to this king!" ”
"Kan'er, do you still want to protect her?" Concubine De disliked Lin Jinwen more and more, and actually fascinated her always obedient Kan Er, and now she dares to argue with herself, she can't suppress her arrogance today, and she really doesn't know what to do in the future!
"Didn't you hear what Concubine Ben said? Drag it down......"
"I'll see who dares. Mother, her needles don't hurt at all, and we didn't say yes, we called her here to ask her something. After Zhao Kan finished speaking, without waiting for Concubine De to speak, she turned her head to look at Lin Jinwen, took out the carefully guarded strand of hair and asked, "Did you let people give it to me?" ”
Lin Jinwen glanced at it, and her eyes were faint: "The parents of the body, the courtiers don't dare to cut their hair in private, the prince may have misunderstood." ”
"How could I be misunderstood, it obviously smells of you on it......"
"Lord Wang!" Lin Jinwen saw that the more he talked, the more he went too far, she only said coldly: "I am a woman raised in the deep boudoir, and no matter what the taste is, I really don't believe it, just call someone to check the hair of the courtier, there is really no need to be so humiliating." ”
"I-" Zhao Kan saw that she was really angry, and she couldn't explain it, looking at her hair hanging behind her, she raised her hand and grabbed a handful and put it on the tip of her nose to smell it.
Lin Jin's eyebrows twisted slightly, she took two steps back, and the person fell directly outside the hall, if she didn't barely hold on to the pillar outside, she was afraid that she would fall out directly.
Seeing this, Zhao Kan immediately chased after him and said, "Jinwen, I didn't mean to ......"
"Ouch, county lord, you are actually here, it is easy to find a slave."
A sharp voice came, Zhao Kan raised his eyes, and saw that Grandpa An had already walked in with a smile.
When Concubine De saw someone coming, she knew that the emperor was afraid that she also knew about it, so she hurriedly took the palace maid's hand and walked out, and said with a smile: "This concubine invited Miss Lin to sit down, but it disturbed Father-in-law An." ”
"What did the mother say?" Father-in-law An just didn't find out what Zhao Kan was doing, smiled and saluted, and then said: "It was the maid next to Miss Lin who said that she was separated from Miss Lin, and the emperor now likes this newly recognized niece, and he is worried that Miss Lin has accidentally broken into the dormitory of the ladies and disturbed the maids, so he sent the servants out to find it." ”
"Now that you've found it, you can go first." Zhao Kan looked at Lin Jinwen, who avoided him like a poisonous snake, and felt uncomfortable for a while, and only said coldly.
Lin Jinwen immediately said: "It's nothing wrong for Concubine De to find a courtier, so the courtier will go back to serve the queen mother first, after all, her birthday is approaching, and the courtiers have to be summoned into the palace by the grace of the queen mother, and they don't dare to delay." ”
Concubine De looked at her, and then looked at Father-in-law An, this is good, one moved out of the queen mother, and the other moved out of the emperor, she just can't keep it if she wants to.
was about to speak, but Zhao Kan said: "Where is the left and right queen mothers not bad for a while......"
"The courtiers just want to accompany the Queen Mother all the time, and ask King Jing and Concubine De to forgive their sins." Lin Jinwen immediately lowered her eyes and interrupted him.
Zhao Kan wanted to say more, so he listened to Concubine De and said: "Okay, where is this concubine comparable to the Queen Mother, if you want to do your filial piety, then go." ”
Zhao Kan was about to speak, but was secretly pulled by Concubine De, and then swallowed the words.
Gonggong An kept their reactions in mind, and seeing that Zhao Kan was no longer entangled, he let Lin Jinwen go out first.
As soon as they left, Zhao Kan smashed his fist on one side of the pillar with red eyes.
Seeing him like this, Concubine De became more and more reluctant to see Lin Jinwen in her heart, but she only glanced at him and said coldly: "Okay, the emperor ordered you to go out of Beijing today, and now the time is almost up, you can also go." In the future, you want to have a hundred women, why are you so obsessed with her now? ”
"But I can't wait......" Zhao Kan thought that the wedding date set by Lin Jinwen and Zhao Huaiyan was nearly November, and now it is June, and there are only more than four months to go, and he is going to do it in more than four months!
Concubine De hurriedly sent the people around her down before she whispered, "What are you talking about, how can you mention this here?" ”
"But mother, won't my father be able to tolerate the Xiong family?"
"I know......" Concubine De's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still hesitated, because this time she was not only restored to the concubine position, but the emperor could have taken the opportunity to suppress Kan'er, but he only let him go to the southwest, which made her feel that the emperor did not value Kan'er.
She hesitated for a while before she said, "Okay, you can discuss this matter with your uncle when you get to the southwest, and you must listen to your uncle's words." ”
Zhao Kan thought that he could get into trouble, and he felt a little more comforted in his heart, looked down at the wisp of green silk in his palm, clenched it tightly, and then walked away.
Lin Jinwen came out of Yonghe Palace with Gonggong An, turned left and right, and actually arrived at an abandoned palace.
She was still wondering why she didn't see Mo Feng, so she heard Gonggong An laugh and said, "County Lord, the slave is waiting for you outside, but you have to hurry." ”
Lin Jinwen was surprised, and saw that Father-in-law An had closed the palace door from the outside, and there was also the sound of footsteps behind her.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Zhao Huaiyan in a scarlet shirt standing under the big tree in the courtyard. The leaves were green, and the breeze was blowing the light sunlight, making him look a little warmer.
"Come here." Zhao Huaiyan said softly.
Lin Jinwen stepped forward a few steps, but before she could get to him, he took a step forward and stopped her in his arms. Butterflies picking pollen in the summer flew past her eyes, and Lin Jinwen only felt that this hug seemed to instantly soothe the hatred and anger that she had just heard in her heart.
"Tomorrow's birthday banquet, follow me carefully, and after the birthday banquet, I will take you home." Zhao Huaiyan said softly.
When Lin Jinwen heard the sentence 'take you home', she only felt that her eyes were slightly astringent, and her grievances came up inexplicably.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her tighter and gently rubbed her little head.
After a while, Lin Jinwen let him go and said, "The prince doesn't have to worry too much about me, today the emperor asked me to let the queen mother out, I always feel that the emperor seems to be trying something." ”
Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand and rubbed her head, looking at her serious little face, his heart seemed to soften, and he only said: "It's okay that it's just a temptation and not a certainty, but the queen, if you don't want to have more contact, you don't have to take her too seriously." ”
Lin Jinwen was surprised in her heart, he actually saw through his own mind?
Seeing her like this, Zhao Huaiyan smiled even deeper in her eyes: "She has always wanted to manipulate me in her hands, but now that she finds that I am more biased towards you, she will naturally be unhappy, let her go." ”
When Lin Jinwen heard him say this, she breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
After a while, Father-in-law An knocked on the door outside: "County Lord, it's almost time." ”
Hearing this, Lin Jinwen asked Zhao Huaiyan: "Father-in-law An is also your person?" ”
"Sort of." Zhao Huaiyan said: "If there is something very urgent, you can also look for him." ”
Lin Jinwen responded, but she knew in her heart that she would not look for Grandpa An again. If Father-in-law An is really Zhao Huaiyan's person, who has been by the emperor's side for so many years, once the emperor notices the slightest mistake, it will be a catastrophe for Father-in-law An.
Zhao Huaiyan watched her leave safely and soundly, and then slowly sank his complexion, Zhao Kan was really rampant.
Lin Jinwen went all the way to the gate of Cining Palace, only to see Mo Feng who was anxiously waiting, Mo Feng saw that she was not injured, so she put down the stone in her heart, stepped forward and said: "Miss, the emperor went to the imperial garden with the queen mother, do you go over or stay to rest?" ”
"Let's go back to our room first." After speaking, he politely saluted Gonggong An before returning to the side hall.
Soon it will be the queen mother's birthday, and she still has to think about how to spend tomorrow smoothly, Concubine De is eyeing her, and she will not let go of herself easily, the most important thing is that even if the queen is released from the palace, she will not be able to help much for the time being.
After resting for a while, I heard a rumor that the nobleman wanted to see her.
Mo Feng took off the complicated bun for her and combed it simply, and when she heard the words, she asked her: "Miss, the Queen Mother doesn't seem to like this noble person very much, do we want to meet?" ”
"It's hard for me to be a noble-hearted person." Lin Jinwen whispered, if you go to see it, you will offend the queen mother, and if you don't go, you will offend the emperor.
After thinking about it, she still nodded, she wanted to see it after all, so why don't you go and see it now.
The palace maids in the Queen Mother's palace are all calm and calm, and they don't ask much when they see her go out, and they only tell a few words not to walk around.
Out of the door of Cining Palace, Lin Jinwen saw the people standing at the door waiting, and the appearance was still the same, but compared with the amazing when she first saw it, it seemed to be a little more flashy and vulgar.
Xue Wenxin seemed very happy to see her coming, and immediately smiled: "It's been a long time, but it's great to have an acquaintance to talk to now." ”
Lin Jinwen saw that she was still the same as before, as if she didn't mind the death of Jiacai at all, so she smiled lightly: "I didn't know that the noble man had won the emperor's favor in a blink of an eye, and the courtiers congratulated the noble man first." ”
"What are you doing with me so politely, by the way......" She seemed to think of something, and after pushing the palace maids back, she whispered: "I have something I want to ask you for a favor tomorrow." ”
"Your Excellency, please say, what Jin Wu can do, he must do." Lin Jinwen saw that she was about to say her purpose, so she only bent her eyes and smiled lightly.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that tomorrow I will perform a dance for the Queen Mother, I heard that the Queen Mother likes butterflies, so I want some medicine powder that can attract butterflies tomorrow, I don't know if you have it?" She said distressedly.
Seeing her like this, Lin Jinwen only shook her head apologetically: "There has never been such a medicinal powder." ”
"That's ......" Xue Wenxin replied disappointedly, and a palace maid came over and said, "Nobleman, the emperor has summoned you to serve in the imperial garden." ”
"I'll go right away." Xue Wenxin said lightly to the palace maid before looking at Lin Jinwen with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I have to go over first, the emperor has been taking care of me recently, and he can't leave me for a while." ”
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she was a little curious whether she really had her tail up in the sky, or if she deliberately told herself. But seeing that she was smiling, she couldn't see anything unusual at all.
Lin Jinwen curtsied, and Xue Wenxin left with a smile.
When the people walked away, Mo Feng said in a low voice: "This noble-hearted person is not a simple one. "The emperor drove her out of the palace like that before, but now the emperor who is nearly half a hundred years old can like her so much, if she is really simple-minded, how can she come to the present steadily under the dislike of the queen mother?
Lin Jinwen watched her holding the palace maid's hand slowly disappear around the corner, and then said, "What's so particular about butterflies?" ”
At the mention of this, Mo Feng, who has always been calm, was not very happy: "In the past, it was rumored that the concubine had a strange fragrance, and every time in the middle of summer, when they danced together, they would exude a thin fragrance on their bodies, attracting this butterfly." ”
"I see...... Lin Jinwen really doesn't have a medicine that can attract butterflies, but there is still a medicine to drive butterflies away.
She turned around and went back to the palace, and the person who had been staring at the corner turned her head and went to Yikun Palace.
The news of the queen's pardon soon spread among the people, but the people did not welcome her to the world of motherhood, but retold the tragedy of Puji Temple again, and the people's resentment against the queen seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
In the Zheng Mansion of the Ministry of War.
Zheng Jiaojiao walked with ladylike steps, slowly walked to the first seat with tea, and then saluted, and said in a soft voice: "Lord Wang, please use tea." ”
"Miss Zheng's whereabouts are getting clearer and clearer." Zhao Qian glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao, who had been carefully dressed, and said with a smile.
On one side, Lord Zheng laughed loudly, and then said: "Jiaojiao is not young now......
"Isn't that just right, this king still lacks a princess." Zhao Tian took Zheng Jiaojiao's tea, and his fingers ran over her hand as if unintentionally.
Zheng Jiaojiao's small face was crimson, looking at a pair of peach blossom eyes in front of her, and Zhao Tian, the king of Yu, who was also handsome, her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she only said coquettishly: "The courtiers went down first." ”
"Go down and do whatever you want, you can listen to what I say to your father." Zhao Tian looked at her deeply, as if he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Seeing this, Lord Zheng became more and more happy, and only said to Zheng Jiaojiao: "If the prince asks you to sit, you can sit, you don't have to be polite." ”
Zheng Jiaojiao was naturally willing, and she saluted, and sat down on one side with a gentle appearance, but she didn't see Zhao Tian's indifference when she looked at her.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, this time King Ning is still thinking of rescuing the Luo family, what do you think? Although I am the secretary of the military department, I am not very easy to shoot. "Zheng Daren is humane.
"You don't have to make a move, King Xuan will deal with it. He has now given birth to the only grandson of the royal family, plus a concubine who has swelled to the height of the sky, do you think they will allow the Luo family to come out, be grateful to King Ning, and then become King Ning's right-hand man. Zhao Tian smiled faintly.
"Then the prince, what do you mean ......?"
"There's no hurry. The Luo family's biggest reliance is the Wang family, as long as the Wang family is willing to have someone to testify, the Luo family will die without a place to be buried. Zhao said with a smile.
Lord Zheng still frowned: "Then what do you mean, is to completely destroy the Luo family?" ”
Zhao Tian shook his head instead: "The Luo family is also a first-class family, and Lord Luo is even more of a person who is said to be the best in the ministry, with him, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings?" When King Xuan and King Ning are unable to return to the sky, this king only needs to hand over the traitor of the Wang family, and everything will be solved. ”
Lord Zheng thought about it in his mind, and couldn't help but admire: "The prince is thoughtful, and the subordinate officials are ashamed." ”
"Lord Zheng is polite. However, since this king has been exposed, he will show up in the next few days to 'return to Beijing', and then he can organize his marriage with Miss Zheng. Zhao tilted to the side of Zheng Jiaojiao and smiled deeply, and Master Zheng also laughed loudly.
The corners of Zhao Tian's mouth were hooked, his eyes were slightly cold, and he only went towards the outside of the mansion. Zhao Huaiyan, this time I see how you fight with me. You have Lin Jinwen as a weakness, but I don't!
A dark horse swept quickly through the crowd, and then came to a halt at the door of the king's house.
When the little guy at the door saw the person coming, he immediately bowed down and led the horse for him, and then said, "Young Master Lin, Miss and Mrs. are all inside." "Lin Jincheng has been coming every day these days, and the little guys are used to it.
Lin Jincheng nodded and immediately went inside.
Mrs. Wang is feeding Wang Yushi the medicine, and now that the Luo family does not come out for a day, she will not dare to let Wang Yushi go to the court for a day, otherwise with his upright temper, it will really get out of control.
Wang Ruyan was on the side, and when the next person said that Lin Jincheng was coming, Mrs. Wang only smiled: "You go, your wedding date is set for next month, and it doesn't hurt to meet you." ”
"Yes." Wang Ruyan's happy little face flushed, and she lifted her skirt and ran out happily.
When he ran to the lake promenade, a cold smile suddenly came from behind him: "Do you really want to marry him?" ”
The smile on Wang Ruyan's face slowly fell, her footsteps slowly stopped, and she didn't look back: "Even if I die, I will marry him." ”
"Haha, it's really infatuated, I wonder if he thinks so? When the Luo family's treason is down, the Wang family will not be able to escape, I want to see if Lin Jincheng will dare to marry you at that time. Wang Huiyuan leaned on the pillar and coughed again, looked at her motionless back, and continued to laugh: "The most important thing is that if he knew that you are not as simple and cute as you seem on the surface, but as vicious as a snake and scorpion, not only killing your personal maid, but also vainly trying to kill your own brother, what would he think?" Will it immediately change its face and dump you? ”
Wang Ruyan's hand hanging on the side clenched tightly, ignoring him, only walking away with a white face, and as she walked, she could feel the heaviness of her steps as if they were filled with lead.
Soon arrived at the front hall, and saw the person standing in front of the Duobao Pavilion staring at a pot of green pines, Wang Ruyan wanted to shout, but her throat was choked.
Lin Jincheng noticed that there was movement behind him, so he turned his head and smiled, and when he found that her eyes were red and pale, he hurriedly stepped forward and said worriedly: "Yan'er, what's wrong?" Is something wrong with you, Lord Wang? ”
Wang Ruyan saw that he cared so much about himself, his palms tightened, and he smiled reluctantly: "Daddy is fine." ”
"So what's wrong with you? But worried about the Luo family? Lin Jincheng became more and more nervous.
Wang Ruyan shook her head, but tears couldn't stop flowing. She didn't want to do this, making him worry and nervous, but she couldn't help but ask herself over and over again, could she really be worthy of him?
Before she could speak, Lin Jincheng had already hugged her in his arms: "Yan'er, I don't care what you're thinking, but no matter what, you can't think about how to leave me, if it weren't for you, I'd be crazy, okay?" ”
"But......" Wang Ruyan felt his slightly trembling body, choked and whispered in his ear: "What if I tell you that I have killed someone?" Don't you mind if you're like this? ”
"I've killed countless enemies, have you ever hated me for having blood on my hands?" Lin Jinwen let go of her and said distressed to her eyes full of tears.
Wang Ruyan shook her head, how could she dislike him, no matter what he was like, she only loved him.
Lin Jincheng saw her like this, and finally laughed: "Yan'er, Jincheng and I have long regarded you as a family, where are there so many worries between family members." ”
"Jincheng ......" Wang Ruyan's heart finally settled down, she looked at the rickety figure hiding by the door, and smiled firmly at Lin Jincheng: "I will, I will definitely live with you for the rest of my life!" "Even if Wang Hui comes far to stop it.
Wang Huiyuan, who was outside the house, heard their conversation, and only sneered coldly in his heart. He has not forgotten the tragic death of Lin Zisu, Zisu once said that the people in the third room of the Lin family are all devils, and they also killed Zisu, and now they have deceived Ru Yan into a daze, thinking that she can really live in peace? He would never allow it.
After thinking about it, he looked at the jade bottle that suddenly appeared in his room two days ago, resolutely opened it, took the pill inside and swallowed it, and then went according to the address written on the stationery pressed under the jade bottle.
Lin Jinwen was trapped in the palace and couldn't receive any news at all, so she rested early after dinner, because she was afraid that she would have to bother with her birthday on the second day.
The night passed, and the next day it was still dark, and she was called up, because of the Queen Mother's birthday, she was going to follow and serve on the side.
The waning moon in the sky is like a hook, and a few stars can be faintly seen, and the lazy temperament that Lin Jinwen has cultivated in her life can be regarded as being punished at this time.
After the palace maids rushed in to change her clothes and make up, they let her go out with a heavy head of jewelry.
Lin Jinwen didn't dare not be vigilant, and walked forward cautiously as soon as she walked out of the door of the side hall.
When they arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, the palace maids stood in an orderly manner, and the Queen Mother sat in front of the bronze mirror in high spirits, glanced at her, and said lightly: "...... here"
"The courtiers wish the Queen Mother happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan." Lin Jinwen did the full courtesy in a proper manner.
The Queen Mother glanced at the grandmother beside her, and the grandmother immediately took a purse containing golden beans to reward her.
Lin Jinwen got up with Mo Feng's hand, and saw that the Queen Mother no longer cared about herself, and only silently retreated and waited on the side, and stood at this stop for half an hour, and waited until the sky was slightly bright outside, and the Queen Mother allowed her to go down for breakfast first.
When breakfast was over, all the princesses and princesses entered the palace to serve, but the most favored was Princess Xuan, who was holding the little county king.
The Queen Mother teased the child for a while, and then allowed everyone to go to the Imperial Garden to play for a while, the Queen Mother's birthday, it is rare for outsiders to come to the palace to play easily, and Lin Jinwen was also released.
She remembered Zhao Huaiyan's words and didn't plan to go out, but Princess Xuan pulled her very affectionately and smiled: "Lord Chunhe will also go with us." ”
The other princesses were all gentle, or they didn't want to cause trouble, so they just followed behind and smiled, without saying a word.
Lin Jinwen saw that the Queen Mother also didn't want to care, so she could only respond.
As Princess Xuan came out of Cining Palace, she walked through the corridor and bypassed a half-moon gate to the Imperial Garden.
It's the season of flowers, and it's in full bloom here.
Princess Xuan took the lead, holding the little prince and walked forward slowly, Lin Jinwen carefully followed on the side, and after walking for a while, Princess Xuan sat down in the pavilion near the lake, and the other princesses and concubines also sat down in groups of three or two to talk.
"The water is really clear." Princess Xuan handed the little prince to the nurse on the side, and then smiled.
Lin Jin's wife was two steps away from the lake, and she was afraid that there would be such inferior methods as deliberately pushing people into the water.
Just thinking about it, Princess Xuan stepped forward and pulled her in her hand, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about so distractedly, aren't you thinking about His Royal Highness King Ning?" ”
The princess laughed. Lin Jinwen silently wanted to withdraw her hand, but she grabbed it tighter and tighter, and only smiled: "Look at you, what are you doing so nervously, can I still eat you?" ”
"The princess misunderstood...... Lin Jinwen was already secretly holding the silver needle in her hand, Princess Xuan obviously had bad intentions this time, but she wouldn't just push herself down in front of everyone, what did she want to do?
While she was thinking, there was a sudden meow from a cat, followed by a frightened scream from a woman.
Lin Jinwen hurriedly looked over, and saw that the previous second princess was so frightened that she didn't even care about her demeanor, thinking that she was really afraid of this cat.
She was still wondering where the cat came from here, and the princess slapped the black cat away in a panic, and the cat's sharp claws pounced straight towards Lin Jin'an.
She subconsciously wanted to hide back, but Princess Xuan grabbed her tightly, and the anger in Lin Jinwen's heart came up, and when the cat's sharp claws pounced, the silver needle in her hand secretly pierced her wrist.
Soon, a palace maid came to catch the cat, but Lin Jinwen felt a tingling pain in her neck, and a strong smell of blood came immediately.
"Miss!" Mo Feng pushed away the palace maid who was pulling him intentionally or unintentionally, and hurriedly ran over, seeing the bloody mouth on her neck, her eyes were red: "The slave maid immediately went to call the doctor." ”
"This is the palace, first consult the queen mother, and then ask the imperial doctor." Lin Jinwen endured the pain and took out a handkerchief to cover the wound.
Before he could speak, he heard Princess Xuan say: "Where did the wild cat come from, it dared to hurt the county lord of Chunhe, and when someone came, he threw the cat into the water and drowned." She didn't notice that her wrist was pierced by a silver needle, and she didn't mention that the cat was originally called by the second princess.
Lin Jinwen looked at the black cat with a red rope around its neck, and the red rope was tied to an emerald, which could be seen to be raised by a nobleman in the palace, and immediately said: "No need, it's just a small injury, it's okay." ”
"The county lord is good-tempered, but if His Royal Highness King Ning blames him, wouldn't he blame the second princess for deliberately hitting that wild cat at you?" Princess Xuan's apricot eyes were full of concern, and without waiting for Lin Jinwen to speak, she neatly asked someone to drown the cat in the water.
Lin Jinwen felt that something was wrong, so she only said coldly: "Mo Feng, pick up that cat, quickly!" ”
"County Lord, don't you blame the cat, but the second princess?" Princess Xuan was stirring up on the side.
The second princess was timid, and she was already frightened when she saw that Lin Jinwen was injured, and when she heard Princess Xuan's words, she was already so frightened that tears came out, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Chunhe, I didn't mean to......"
"You are a princess, what are you doing with her in such a low voice, you don't lose proportion."
Someone sneered behind his back.
The tears of the second princess came out, and she was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
Lin Jinwen ignored them, watched the palace maid who drowned the cat and refused to let go, shook off Princess Xuan's hand and stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I'll let you fish the cat up immediately!" ”
"This is Princess Xuan's order...... "The palace maid didn't let go, the cat's eyes didn't struggle anymore, Lin Jinwen glanced at Mo Feng, Mo Feng understood, stepped forward and twisted the palace maid, and lifted her up half of her with her backhand, and the cat was also brought up, but she choked too much water and only had half a life left.
Lin Jinwen was thinking about the purpose of Princess Xuan's doing, when she suddenly heard an urgent call from the palace maid: "Noble-hearted person, you slow down, the cat will be fine." ”
Lin Jinwen raised her eyes and saw Xue Wenxin coming on, and she also looked anxious.
When she saw the cat, her eyes immediately turned red, and she carefully picked it up in her arms before she said aggrievedly: "What's wrong with this cat?" ”
"It turned out to be a cat raised by a nobleman, but this cat is a little wilder, and it scratched the county lord of Chunhe, and the county lord was about to drown it." Princess Xuan turned her head and glanced at the second princess who was so frightened that her lips trembled, and secretly scolded in her heart that it was useless, before she smiled: "Is it right, second imperial sister-in-law?" ”
The second princess saw that Princess Xuan had put all the blame on Lin Jinwen, and hurriedly nodded.
Lin Jinwen's heart was slightly cold, and she only said to Xue Wenxin: "This cat is drowning, so take it back to take care of it first." ”
"This is given to me by the emperor, since it has injured the county lord, it will be punished by the county lord." Xue Wenxin bit his lip slightly, but it was obviously angry.
Where did Lin Jinwen dare to punish this cat, Xue Wenxin is really favored now, and then let the people in the palace spread the words to the emperor's ears, he inevitably thought that neither he nor Huaiyan liked Xue Wenxin, who was similar to the late Yin Concubine, so he made it difficult, and he would suffer when the time came.
"Cats are just beasts, they are unintentional, and it is not intended to hurt people. It's just that the nobles have to think about it, how can this cat appear here, is it because the caretaker is lazy? That's a good punishment. Lin Jinwen didn't mention that Princess Xuan deliberately drowned the cat, this palace is so big, and now she sees so many people, the more she doesn't say it, the more these people will want to sue Xue Wenxin. What is said by others must be more convincing to Xue Wenxin than what he says.
Princess Xuan saw that Lin Jinwen didn't argue at all, and secretly felt strange in her heart, could it be true as the prince said, this Lin Jinwen is a strange woman?
Oh, she doesn't believe in any strange women, women are at most good at knitting women's red qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Thinking about it, he glanced at the nurse who was holding the little county king on one side, the nurse understood, and shook the child heavily, the child was frightened, and cried directly.
Princess Xuan was also really distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward and scolded: "What are you doing? Why did you scare the little king? ”
The nurse immediately knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Niangniang, don't complain about the slave maid, the little county king has been allergic to the smell of medicine since birth, and the whole capital knows it, there must be someone here who deliberately carries medicine to harm our little county king." ”
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she laughed instead, this Princess Xuan, no wonder she didn't come out to jump in her previous life, just this brain, she was eaten by someone when she came out and jumped twice.
