Chapter 108: Be Stronger
The Changchun Garden banquet was not pleasant, the emperor returned to the court early the next morning, and the other courtiers naturally dispersed.
When Lin Jinwen went out, she happened to see Sun Wanwan who was talking to someone with red eyes, Sun Wanwan also saw her, remembering that she actually threw herself directly into the water last night, and hated it so much, obviously her identity was not as good as herself before, and she flew up to the branch and became Princess Ning in a blink of an eye!
Thinking of this, she became more and more unwilling, stepped forward and saluted perfunctorily, and then said loudly: "The courtiers saw the princess yesterday and seemed to be very familiar with the Empress Dowager of Barbarians, and the fierce warrior was released yesterday, and the princess and the Empress Dowager of Barbarians calculated and deliberately embarrassed us in the Jin Dynasty, right?" ”
Lin Jinwen has always known her arrogant and unreasonable logic, and there is clearly no cause and effect, but she can also say it so justifiably.
"That warrior was released, is it a shame for the Jin Dynasty, or a shame for the barbarians?" Lin Jinwen asked her rhetorically.
"The princess was clearly out of the limelight yesterday......"
"That's also the limelight on behalf of the Jin Dynasty." Lin Jinwen looked at her lightly.
Sun Wanwan was choked, gritted her teeth, and said, "The Empress Dowager of Barbarian Yi is clearly colluding with you, otherwise why would she call you?" ”
Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "It seems that what Miss Sun wants to ask most is this sentence, why do you want to say those who have it or not?" As for why the Queen Mother called me, it was because I received the Queen Mother's favor and got a piece of jade from her, that's all. ”
Sun Wanwan sneered: "The princess really has face, then the queen mother will give you a favor alone......"
"Miss Sun also has face, because this concubine also wants to reward you." Lin Jinwen looked at her unreasonable, and the corners of her mouth hooked: "Come on, wait for the pen and ink." ”
Mo Feng was ready early, and when he heard this, he immediately went to the gatehouse to get pen and ink to serve, and there were many people around him who watched the excitement.
Lin Jinwen quickly dropped a few words before looking at her with a light smile: "Thinking about it, only this sentence is the most suitable for Miss Sun." ”
Sun Wanwan picked it up and looked at it, she didn't read much, and she didn't understand the meaning, but someone with good things next to her read it out: "Rats have skin, but people have no etiquette." If people have no ceremony, what is it to not die? ”
After he finished reading, a burst of laughter broke out on the spot, and Sun Wanwan hurriedly pulled the familiar young lady and asked in a low voice, "What does this mean?" ”
The young lady's face turned red, and she explained in a low voice: "The meaning of this word is that the weasel still has skin, how can a person be shameless, if a person is shameless, it is better to die......"
After saying that, Sun Wanwan looked at the mocking faces around her, tears came out, and she only gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Jinwen: "The princess is really knowledgeable." ”
"So this concubine will know how to advance and retreat." Lin Jinwen glanced at her lightly warning, she came to the door again and again, most of the grain and grass will have problems, but if they dare to do anything on the grain and grass, don't blame themselves for being polite!
After saying that, Zhao Huaiyan had already come out of it.
Zhou Weikang from the Fuguo Mansion on the side saw it, so he hurriedly picked up the things written by Lin Jinwen on the ground and submitted them, and said with some righteous indignation: "Lord, you see, this is written by the princess, it is really humiliating." ”
Xu Zhaozhao was so angry when he heard this, it was obvious that Sun Wanwan came to find trouble by herself first, and he didn't know right from wrong at all!
But before she could speak, she saw Zhao Huaiyan glance at the paper, with a slight smile in her eyes, and said to Lin Jinyu: "The words are refined." ”
After speaking, Zhou Weikang was stunned: "Lord Wang......"
Sun Wanwan also took the opportunity to say: "Lord, the courtiers ......"
"You have repeatedly disrespected the princess, do you think this king doesn't know?" The smile in Zhao Huaiyan's eyes faded, and he stared at her indifferently: "If you are disrespectful to the princess, you are disrespectful to the king." ”
Sun Wanwan's words were stuck in her throat, did King Ning still protect her like this in front of so many people, and he was not afraid that outsiders would say that he was confused by a woman?
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Zhou Weikang on the side: "It's right for the Duke of Fuguo to leave the capital, if there is nothing to do, you don't have to come to the capital to walk around." After speaking, he directly led Lin Jinwen into the carriage and left.
Zhou Weikang's face turned red, Xu Zhaozhao deliberately walked up to him and snorted lightly: "Fortunately, you look very average, your knowledge is also average, and your character is also very average......
Yuan Shao looked at Xu Zhaozhao, who was as angry as a child, and only walked to her side in a few steps and said, "Are you thirsty?" ”
Xu Zhaozhao reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "I'm thirsty, I won't waste saliva here, hum." After saying that, he left happily.
"You ......"
"What's wrong? Zhou Gongzi defended Miss Sun like this, I don't know, I thought that the Fuguo Mansion was going to marry the Sun family, Sun Shilang was the pillar of the military department, and he was just a match for Zhou Gongzi. After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he left coldly.
Zhou Weikang wanted to say more, but he was immediately stopped by the subordinate beside him. The subordinate looked embarrassed and persuaded in a low voice: "Gongzi forgot, Grandpa Guo instructed that you can't have anything to do with the adults in the capital." ”
Zhou Weikang remembered this, so he could only endure his anger, and got into the carriage angrily and left.
The ladies around Sun Wanwan also left, for fear of angering King Ning, after all, everyone knows which is more important than Sun Mansion and King Ning Mansion.
"Miss, let's go back first." Yahuan also felt embarrassed.
Sun Wanwan stomped her feet angrily, turned her head to see her, punched her several times before she was slightly deflated, and said coldly: "Let's go to Yuwang's Mansion first." Thinking of the love with King Yu before, Zheng Jiaojiao is now unable to protect herself, maybe she can also marry King Yu and become Princess Yu.
She thought all the way, and when she arrived at the gate of King Yu's mansion, she found that there were many guards in the palace, she felt strange, got out of the carriage and stepped forward to ask, "What's the matter?" ”
The attendant glanced at her before he said: "The emperor has an order to cut off the title of the ninth prince Yuwang and order him to stay in the mansion to think about it." ”
"And when will you think about it?" Sun Wanwan's heart lifted.
"I don't know, no one is allowed to visit, Miss, please go back." After speaking, he grimaced his face and didn't care about her at all.
When Sun Wanwan heard this, she only felt as if a chill was rising all over her body, her body was all given to the Nine Emperor Princes, if he had been locked up, what should he do?
"Can I ......"
"No, you can't!" The guards scolded directly.
Sun Wanwan's embarrassed face turned red, gritted her teeth, and turned her head back to the carriage. She had to find a way to rescue the Nine Emperor Princes, and he had to marry her!
Lin Jinwen and his entourage also received news from Zhao Tian when they returned to King Ning's Mansion, which was expected, the emperor had suspected Zhao Tian for a long time, and now he gave him a positive answer through the mouth of others, so he naturally would not easily let Zhao Tian continue to encircle all forces.
Zhao Huaiyan looked at her contemplative appearance, rubbed her head and said softly: "You haven't rested well during this time, rest for a while, I'll go to the palace." ”
"The prince is going to see the queen?"
"Father returns to the palace, and today is her death." Zhao Huaiyan's tone was light.
Lin Jinwen looked at him indifferently, but it was not emotionless, she only stepped forward to hug him, and said softly: "The prince doesn't have to force himself. ”
Zhao Huaiyan knew that she understood herself, and the dull feeling in her heart seemed to be less, so she stroked her cheeks, rubbed her little head, and said in a low voice: "She should have been this destination a long time ago, and it's a good thing that she is going now." Otherwise, when her mother saw her, it would not be like this.
Lin Jinwen nodded, slowly let go of him, and sent him out of the second gate before stopping.
Mo Feng followed to the side, looked at her as if with some sadness, and said softly, "The princess wants to rest for a while?" "I think it's also worried about the death of Princess Duanhui.
Lin Jinwen nodded tiredly, turned around and wanted to leave, when she heard a soft cry.
She turned her head to look and saw that Aunt Jun was brought out by Mo Xue.
"She's eavesdropping." Mo Xue said lightly.
Lin Jinwen glanced at Aunt Najun before saying, "Don't want to stay in the palace?" ”
"The concubine didn't eavesdrop on ......"
"I don't like people to lie." Lin Jinwen interrupted her coldly.
When Aunt Jun heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground and bowed her head and said, "The concubine didn't mean to eavesdrop, and asked the princess to spare her life." ”
Lin Jinwen looked at her trembling appearance, thought about it, and sent out all the left and right Concubine De to stuff people in, so it was better to keep it, and only said: "If there is a next time, you can pack up your things and leave the palace by yourself." Lin Jinwen said indifferently, turned around and left.
It's just that Concubine De's mind is not all on Lin Jinwen now, but instead fights the Xu family's idea.
After returning to the palace, the first thing she did was to ask people to urge the southwest to send her niece again, and the other thing was to meet the queen who was going to die today.
Originally, the queen should have died a long time ago, because it was not good to receive the envoys and kill the mother of the country immediately, so it dragged on to this day.
In the deserted cold palace, the scorching sun could not shine on this corner, and the queen sat on the dusty couch in a white middle coat, her posture was as elegant as when she first met, and her hair was meticulously combed, but those gorgeous jewelry had long been gone.
She watched Concubine De come over, and she was no longer angry, but sneered and saw: "I didn't expect that I still went before you." ”
"Why did my sister say that, you should have known the result from the beginning." Concubine De sneered, asked people to move a clean stool, and smiled lightly: "Since you were sealed, your mother's family has been constantly suppressed by the emperor, without the support of your mother's family, you think the emperor can pity you, but it's a pity, the emperor is a ruthless person by nature." ”
"You already knew?" The queen was surprised by this, she thought that Concubine De had always loved the emperor.
"Of course I know." Concubine De smiled indifferently: "The women in the harem should also know that everyone in the world can love, but they can't love the emperor, but they still have to pretend to love very much, so that even if they are abandoned, they will not end up like you, Sister Queen, you must be very heartbroken now, after fighting for so many years, you have lost nothing." ”
The queen didn't speak, and tears slowly flowed out.
Concubine De stepped forward and handed her a handkerchief, before she smiled: "But don't worry, after dying for a while, you won't feel anything." ”
"Do you think you'll make it to the end?" The queen sneered.
"Can't you? The emperor is ready to set up Kan'er as the prince, but unfortunately, the queen's sister has not been able to conceive a child in her life. Concubine De said in a pitiful tone.
The queen was not sad about this, and the spice mixed with musk was made by herself, because she knew clearly that the emperor would not allow her to give birth to her own child.
"Concubine De, you are too confident. You do have the support of the Xiong family, but as long as the Xiong family collapses, what awaits you is death. "The queen is very sure of this, the emperor will not keep the arrogant and never hide her ambitions.
"The emperor will never do this, sister queen, the hour is not early, if you want to die, you should die early, after you die, my sister will ask the emperor to keep your whole body." Concubine De finished speaking coldly before turning her head and going out.
As soon as she was gone, the queen could no longer hold her grace, and fell from the couch to the ground and wept bitterly.
She has lived for the emperor all her life, and for him, she was willing to sacrifice her mother's family and herself, and in the end, she was dead and dead.
When Zhao Huaiyan came, he happened to see Concubine De come out.
When Concubine De saw him, she said sarcastically: "King Ning came to see the queen on her last journey?" It's really filial piety. ”
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at her lightly, and then walked past her and walked inside.
When he arrived, he saw the queen crying bitterly.
"Regrets?"
When the queen heard his voice, she barely raised her head, wiped away her tears and sneered: "What do you regret?" ”
"Back then, I secretly manipulated Jia Concubine and harmed Yin Concubine." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently.
The queen was slightly stunned: "You already knew?" Then why didn't you kill me earlier to avenge your mother? ”
Zhao Huaiyan didn't say anything.
The queen looked at his cold appearance, paused, and then laughed: "Do you really think that I treated you well before, and treated you as my own son, Zhao Huaiyan, you are really a poor worm, and you recognize a thief as a mother." ”
Zhao Huaiyan ignored her words, and only lightly threw a bottle of medicine to her: "See blood and seal your throat." "It's better than hanging yourself and dying in agony.
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
The queen looked at the medicine he threw over, and her heart seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle, she always thought that Zhao Huaiyan never regarded her as a mother, but she was wrong, she already knew that he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside......
She pounded her heart painfully, what has she become of her life, chaotic, confused, and nothing to fight.
She looked at the three-foot white silk in front of her and threw it on the beam.
Zhao Huaiyan just walked out of the cold palace gate, and he heard a soft shout behind him, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, he knew that the queen was dead.
His palms clenched slightly, looking at the long and lonely corridor in front of him, he walked slowly, his eyes empty.
When the news of the queen's death reached the emperor's ears, he only hummed, and continued to bow his head to review the chapter, as if the queen's death was insignificant to him.
After a while, he looked up: "Huaiyan went to see?" ”
"I saw her for the last time." Gonggong An said cautiously.
The emperor's face was slightly gloomy, and he put down his pen and said in a deep voice: "Call Concubine De to serve tonight." ”
When Gonggong An heard this, he knew that the emperor was angry and went to see the queen, and he was silently worried in his heart.
When Concubine De heard the news, she almost jumped up with joy.
The sensible palace maid on one side smiled and said, "Isn't it the emperor's intention to promote the mother?" After all, now that the queen is not there, our mother has the highest rank in the harem, and there is an excellent His Royal Highness King Jing under his knees. ”
Concubine De also thought so, paused, and then remembered the words of the previous emperor, if the Xiong family had been so strong, it would be impossible for the emperor to give the position to Kan Er, and he had to think of a way.
After thinking about it, he immediately said: "Tell me to go down, ask Mrs. Xiong to come to Beijing too, and send a letter urgently." ”
The palace maid hurriedly responded.
Within three or five days after the death of the queen, the capital was quietly discussing this matter, guessing what the real reason was, and there were also different opinions.
When Mo Yue came to see her, it happened to be after the heavy rain last night, Lin Jinwen was checking the medicinal materials in the medicine field, and she only asked her to reply by her side, and she was not an outsider.
Mo Yue responded, and then said in a low voice: "It's the Zheng family's business, and the emperor has already ordered it." ”
"How?"
"Remove him from his post as secretary of the military department and order him to leave Beijing within three days. However, he was promoted to the post of temporary acting secretary of the Ministry of War. Mo Yue said.
When Lin Jinwen heard this, her figure paused slightly: "In this way, it's in vain." ”
"But there is another good thing, that is, Jiang Qingshu Jiang has been promoted, and he will soon be transferred back to the capital, Tao Mou's case has been investigated, and it has nothing to do with Tao Mou, but it was found that Tao Mou accepted bribes, and now Tao Mou has been removed from the post of prefect, and he will soon be transferred back to the capital to standby." Moyue Road.
Lin Jinwen slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's better to have Jiang Qingshu here." As for Tao Mou, let people watch carefully, and he was not allowed to approach Ru Yan. ”
"Yes." The ink moon should be down.
When the people left, Lin Jinwen put down the herbs in her hand and went back to the room, and after cleaning her hands, she thought about it for a while before she called someone to send the news to Lin Jincheng.
Ah Bao made the tea, and a refreshing aroma overflowed from the room, Lin Jinwen looked at her in surprise, and she immediately explained: "This was sent by Miss Xu before, saying that it was bought from Yinxianglou, but it is much better than that of the slave." ”
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she smiled.
Mo Feng followed to the side and said with a smile: "The silver sent by Yinxianglou last month is as much as 10,000 taels. ”
"Hmm." Lin Jinwen nodded, it is rare to have so much silver in a short period of time.
She looked at the teacup lightly, and was still wondering whether the people in the palace would let her go for the time being, but she knew that the queen mother's decree would soon arrive.
When Lin Jinwen received the order, she was really dumbfounded, the queen was dead, and the queen mother did not forget to give people to Ning Wangfu.
Father-in-law Mo is also an acquaintance, seeing her indifferent, he smiled and said: "Princess, you don't have to hate the Queen Mother, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention His Royal Highness King Ning, the side concubine picked by the Queen Mother this time is the Queen Mother's mother's family, the most knowledgeable, gentle and sensible, you can rest assured, she will never give you unpleasant." ”
Lin Jinwen smiled and asked people to give a reward, but asked about Ling Weiye's situation.
Seeing that she still remembered Ling Weiye, Gonggong Mo knew that she was a person who valued affection and righteousness, and he also intended to please, so he only smiled and said: "The little prince is very good now, don't worry." ”
"That's good, the little prince is still young, and his temperament is a little more stubborn, so I bother my father-in-law to take care of him more." Lin Jinwen said politely before letting Mo Feng send him away.
Mo Xue looked at her worriedly and said, "The Queen Mother is deliberately trying to find you unhappy." ”
"It's okay, just let her come." Lin Jinwen was also panicked in her heart, and before she finished speaking, she saw Mo Feng coming back, but she was in a hurry when she came, and there were people behind her.
Mo Feng approached, and the man behind her immediately knelt on the ground tremblingly, crying: "The slave can't stand Miss, Cai'er her...... They were taken captive. ”
Lin Jinwen naturally recognized him as the son of the old housekeeper and Cai'er's husband, and when she heard this, anger surged up from the bottom of her heart: "How can you let her be taken away?" And aren't you doing a good job in Zhuangzi! ”
"It's Cai'er, I heard that Miss is getting married, and I insist on coming to congratulate you, the little one and her were going to arrive yesterday, but when she entered Beijing, she suddenly rushed out and a group of people kidnapped her, and the little one was easy to dodge, and now I learned that you have returned home, so I dare to come quietly." After speaking, he wiped away his tears and looked at Lin Jinwen in horror and said, "Miss, please save Cai'er, she is already pregnant with a child in her belly......"
After hearing this, Lin Jin's heart was already a mess, Cai'er, who she wanted to protect the most, was now robbed while pregnant.
But who will do it? The former Mrs. Yan was still the Tao family, or the Sun family or the Zheng family?
She couldn't figure it out for a while, Mo Xue saw that she was messed up, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid will go to see Mo Yue first and ask her if there is any news there." ”
"Okay." Lin Jinwen nodded, and then held back her anger and said to the man: "If something happens to Cai'er, I will be the first to let you go!" You can't even protect your wife! ”
The man was also in tears, Lin Jinwen took a deep breath, and then said, "Take him down first." ”
Ah Bao immediately asked someone to help him away, Lin Jinwen thought about it, and still asked someone to prepare a carriage to go to the Lin Mansion.
At that time, Wang Ruyan was talking to Mrs. Luo.
After Mrs. Luo was released from prison, she was much less courageous, after all, in the short time she was imprisoned, many of the high-ranking officials and nobles died in the past, which shows that the battle for the heir is becoming more and more fierce now, and it is becoming more and more dangerous, but they have only survived to the present thanks to the favor of King Ning, and now they can be regarded as joining the camp of King Ning and becoming a member of the heir.
Seeing Lin Jinwen coming, she immediately panicked, which surprised Wang Ruyan.
"Why is the princess here?" Wang Ruyan retracted her surprise, only turned around and saluted forward, only to see that Lin Jinwen's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "But something happened?" ”
"Brother can you be in the house?" Lin Jinwen asked.
Wang Ruyan shook her head: "My husband has gone to patrol the city, and he won't come back until the evening." ”
When Lin Jinwen heard this, she didn't know the news that she wanted to come to Tao Mou to return to Beijing, so she only said: "Starting today, if you don't have a big brother to accompany you, you must not leave the house, and don't meet the Tao family, do you know?" ”
"Jin's wife, what's wrong?" Wang Ruyan saw her like this, and asked with some worry.
Lin Jinwen was afraid of scaring her and Mrs. Luo, who was nervous on one side, so she didn't say much, but only gave another instruction before going out directly.
After going out, she had a very bad premonition for the first time, which made her feel more and more flustered now.
Mo Feng looked at her anxious appearance and comforted: "Don't worry, princess, although the capital is big, there are a lot of us people, and we will definitely be able to find Cai'er." ”
"I hope so." Lin Jinwen put down the curtain of the car, thought for a while, and then said: "Go to Yan's house ......" It's really not good, she just looks for it one by one, and someone will always show clues.
In the afternoon, Lin Jinwen walked all over the house of the person she thought was most likely to be the suspect, but there was no news, until she finally settled at Xu's house.
By the time she arrived at the Xu family, she was already very tired.
After Mrs. Xu understood the reason, she only comforted: "Cai'er, I used to look like a blessed person, you don't have to worry too much." ”
"Sister Jin, Cai'er will definitely have her own natural appearance." Xu Zhaozhao also comforted.
Lin Jinwen smiled reluctantly, but she couldn't say why, she always felt that this time things would not be under her control.
Night.
In the dark dungeon, when Cai'er woke up, her first reaction was to protect her belly, and she breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that the child was still there.
But where she couldn't see her fingers, she called tentatively, "Anyone?" ”
As soon as she spoke, a candle was lit not far away, and in the light of the candle, she realized that not far in front of her, a man was sitting cross-legged facing her, staring at her with eyes as cold as a viper.
She screamed in fright, shrank back, and only leaned against the wall before she trembled, "Who are you?" ”
"I'll tell you when you're dead."
The man spoke, coldly raising the knife in his hand and slashing at one of her arms.
The moonlight is slightly cool.
It was already midnight when Zhao Huaiyan came to pick up Lin Jinwen.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep because of the rush, he picked her up carefully, nodded to the Xu family, and took her to the carriage and went home.
When he got back, he put her on the bed and fell asleep, and then quietly exited the room.
waited until he was outside the room before he said to Mo Feng: "Haven't you found out who did it?" ”
"I didn't find out, after those people kidnapped Cai'er girl, they were all found dead outside the city, their identities were all nameless assassins, who hired Xu, there was no evidence on them, and there was no living mouth." Mo Feng was also a little worried, he could have such means and skills, not like those young ladies and ladies in the capital, but more like a seasoned veteran, but now that the Nine Emperors are grounded in the mansion, it is impossible to appear......
Zhao Huaiyan's face was slightly gloomy, and after a while, Gao Yu brought a brocade box and put it in front of Zhao Huaiyan; "Lord, someone asked a little child to bring this, saying that it was for the princess."
Zhao Huaiyan had already smelled a strong smell of blood through the box, and when he heard the words, he glanced at Mo Feng, who stepped forward and opened the box, but Rao was also scared.
Gao Yu looked at it, and in the long box, there was an arm neatly placed, and according to the clothes and hands, it was not difficult to see that it was a woman's.
"Could it be Miss Cai'er?" Gao Yu thought of that lively girl, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
"This king goes out and takes care of the princess." After that, the figure had disappeared into the palace.
Inside the Nine Emperors' Mansion.
Zhao Tian sat in the pavilion and burned incense, he didn't have this habit before, but now he wanted to use the fragrance to expel the smell of blood on his body.
Hearing the sound of the breaking wind, he poured a cup of tea and smiled lightly: "Brother Huang came early......
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan's fist had already landed on his face, causing him to fall directly on the pillar on the side, and his face quickly bruised and swollen.
Zhao Tian wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, looked at him who was rarely angry, and chuckled: "Sure enough, Lin Jinwen is your biggest weakness, and Lin Jinwen's weakness is these close people around her, even if it is an ordinary maid......"
"Let go." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly.
"Even if the eldest brother kills me today, I won't let him go." Zhao Tian looked at the murderous aura in his eyes and smiled lightly: "Kill me, and my father will receive my secret letter, which explains in detail why Lin Jincheng wants to kill me......
Zhao Huaiyan's hand at his side tightened slightly.
Zhao Tian got up from the ground, sat down again, and slowly poured two cups of tea before saying, "I don't want to do such a desperate thing, but you have cut off all my retreats, and I can only do this." ”
"You never said you wanted the throne." Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were cold, if he said from the beginning that he wanted that position, then he would definitely help him up, but he and Jia Concubine acted as if they didn't care.
"Will you give it to me if I want it?" Zhao Tian didn't believe him: "If I start to ask for it, maybe you won't care about me at all, and you won't teach me so many things defenselessly." Brother Emperor, you don't have to say these useless words here, now, I am no longer the same person I used to be, I only want that position now. Now I will give you two choices, one, let my father restore my title and let me out, and second, I will kill all the people around Lin Jinwen one by one, and make her suffer to death! ”
Zhao Huaiyan looked at his shameless appearance now and turned around coldly.
Zhao Tian saw that he was leaving, so he turned his head to look at his back and said, "Brother Great Emperor, this is agreed?" ”
"Even if you go out, you will die at the hands of this king." After Zhao Huaiyan finished speaking, he walked away directly.
Watching him leave like this, Zhao Tian felt a little uncomfortable, but he only took a few sips of the wine jug on one side, until he choked and coughed, and his eyes were wet, and then he laughed: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, when I sit in that position, I see if you will look down on me like this!" ”
When Zhao Huaiyan returned to the palace, the sky was already slightly white.
He walked into the room, looked at Lin Jin's sleeping face, his heart became gentle, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently put his hand on her face and stroked it.
Lin Jinwen remembered Cai'er's affairs in her heart, felt a slight movement, and immediately opened her eyes.
Seeing Zhao Huaiyan, he stepped forward and hugged his waist and said sullenly: "Lord Wang." ”
"I've found Cai'er, I'll bring her back later." Zhao Huaiyan gently stroked her long hair hanging behind her and smiled lightly.
"Really?"
"Hmm." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her in surprise when she raised her head, and only felt that everything was worth it.
Lin Jinwen happily wrapped her arms around his neck and was very happy, and Zhao Huaiyan laughed with her for a while before going to the court.
As soon as he left, the smile on Lin Jin's face also faded, she could see that he hadn't slept all night, everyone was nervous, and she could also see that something must have happened to Cai'er.
Ah Bao didn't know what happened last night, and when she came in to serve, Lin Jinwen had already changed her clothes, so she smiled and said, "Why is the princess dressed so plain today." "A pear-colored dress accompanied by a goose-yellow tie is fresh and elegant.
Lin Jinwen smiled faintly: "What about the ink wind and ink snow?" ”
"The slave is here." When Mo Feng heard the sound, he still walked in, and only smiled: "What do you have to tell the princess to find a slave?" ”
Lin Jinwen looked at her with a slightly deliberate smile on her face, and didn't embarrass her, and said, "Prepare the carriage and horses, let's go to Yinxianglou." "Is her strength still too weak, so weak that the people around her can't protect her.
Seeing her like this, Mo Feng didn't dare to say more, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.
Aunt Ji Xi had been watching everything, and when she left calmly, she said to Bao: "If the princess is a man, she can also establish a career." She remembered that someone had said something like this before, praising Princess Xianyue. It's just that Princess Xianyue is even more lucky, born in the royal family, born a genius, even the Western Xia Emperor wants to give her three points.
When Lin Jinwen arrived at Yinxianglou, Yinxianglou's business was still exceptionally good.
When Zhang Xiaofang saw her coming, she went directly to the private room on the second floor, and saw that her expression was wrong, so she asked, "Miss, but something happened?" ”
"How much money do you have in your account now?" Lin Jinwen said directly.
Zhang Xiaofang immediately took out his account book and calculated, and said: "There are a total of 100,000 taels in the account, I calculated, 50,000 taels will be used to expand in other places, and the remaining 50,000 taels will be taken out and sent to the princess, and the rest is the current store turnover, and in two months, these silver will be doubled, and when the shops in other places are opened, it will be profitable, and in less than a year, the gross profit will not be less than 300,000 taels." Zhang Xiaofang felt very excited when she thought about it, but the most important thing is that Yinxianglou borrowed the power of the princess, and the development was smooth sailing, and Lin Jin's hands did not only sell this one thing, ready-to-wear shops, silk and satin villages, pawnshops and restaurants, all of which were profitable businesses. Especially the money of these nobles is easy to make.
"In this way, you give 30% of your monthly profits to Mofeng." Lin Jinwen said.
Mo Feng was surprised, but Lin Jinwen only said: "I want you to give all the money to Mo Yue, let her quickly cultivate and absorb more people, I want to establish an organization as big as Shui Yunjian within half a year!" "As long as it can be solved with money, she will use money to smash it, and she doesn't believe that she can't smash it. People die for money, birds die for food, there are so many strange people on the rivers and lakes, there are always people who are willing to come. ”
Mo Feng nodded, but he was a little worried: "Although Mo Yue is capable, it is difficult to control such a large organization." ”
"So I'm asking you to do one more thing." Lin Jinwen said.
"What?"
"Do you remember the big boss of Qingshan Cottage at the beginning?" Lin Jinwen said.
Mo Feng naturally remembered that the man who disguised himself as a woman made Gao Yu dare not get close to a woman for several months, she remembered it very clearly, but this person was insidious and dangerous.
Mo Feng said: "Although this person is capable, he is not easy to control, he is very cunning and insidious. ”
Lin Jinwen still remembered what he looked like when he was dressed as a woman, and she didn't think it before, but after learning from Ji Xi for so long, most of them guessed the reason why he was dressed as a woman, so she only said: "You go and tell him that I can cure his illness, and let him come to see me in person." ”
"Sick?" Mo Feng was puzzled: "What illness can he have?" ”
"A disease that cannot be spoken to outsiders." Lin Jinwen said coldly, and then said to Zhang Xiaofang, who was stunned on one side: "The silver may be ready?" ”
"Nature."
"Well, during this period of time, after you hand over the affairs of the capital to other people, you can temporarily leave the capital to set up other shops, and in a short period of time, I may need a lot of silver." Lin Jinwen said, now the situation is becoming more and more severe, I think the emperor will not delay for a long time to decide, and when the storage position is certain, whether it is Huaiyan or not, it will be more dangerous.
Zhang Xiaofang nodded hurriedly. The more she needs the money, the more motivated she becomes!
Lin Jinwen walked to the side of the private room, looked at the bustling crowd, and fell into deep thought.
Zheng Fuzhong.
Zheng Jiaojiao now hates Lin Jinwen, and now her father has been removed from her post and King Yu has been reduced to her title, although it is not all related to Lin Jinwen, but it is more or less because of her.
She looked at her father, who was packing his bags, and said unwillingly: "Dad, are we really leaving like this?" You have worked hard all your life, and you are about to become a white man with nothing from the high-ranking military department? ”
How willing Zheng Qiong was, but now at this juncture, he had to leave if he didn't go, and only said in a deep voice: "Don't mess around!" ”
"My daughter didn't mess around, my daughter could have become Princess Yu......"
"That's it!" When he mentioned Zhao Tian and Zheng Qiong, he was angry, it was originally just a small case, he actually didn't care about himself, and let King Ning secretly manipulate him, so that he now has nothing.
Zheng Jiaojiao saw that he was angry, so angry that she turned her head and ran out.
She just ran out of the second gate to find Zhao Tian, and saw Sun Wanwan's brother and sister, who she hadn't seen since the accident, come to the door.
Sun Qiu looked at Zheng Jiaojiao, looked at her well-developed body now, and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao, where are you going?" ”
"Don't worry about it!" Zheng Jiaojiao didn't like his eyes when she looked at him, a hillbilly who didn't know a single word, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness King Yu before, she wouldn't have bothered with the two of them at all.
Sun Wanwan has also been fed up with anger these days, and when she heard this, she sneered: "When you see Miss Ben, don't say salute, Zheng Jiaojiao, do you really think that you are a high-ranking eldest lady?" Let me tell you, my father is now acting as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and maybe he will be the rightful Lord Shangshu in the future, so you had better speak politely. ”
Zheng Jiaojiao was so angry that her face turned blue, and she forgot what Lin Jinwen had said for a while, she couldn't be angry anymore.
She raised her hand and pointed at Sun Wanwan, and said angrily: "Is the sparrow a phoenix on the branches?" A sparrow is a sparrow, and it can't be on the stage for the rest of your life! ”
After scolding, her heart began to hurt, and she took a step back, and without waiting for her maid ring to support her, Sun Qiu stepped forward and hugged the person, squinted her eyes and said, "Miss Zheng, what's wrong with you?" ”
Sun Wanwan snorted with disdain: "I am used to pretending to be pitiful, but it's just that, I didn't come to trouble you today." After speaking, he glanced at the maid ring on one side: "What are you still doing in a daze, take me to see you adults." ”
Yahuan looked at the young lady who was being held by Sun Qiu, and said hurriedly: "You let go of my young lady first......"
"What if I don't let go?" Sun Qiu deliberately hugged Zheng Jiaojiao tighter, so that her softness was close to his body, and he seemed to be able to feel the beating temperature across the thin shirt in summer.
Just as he was proud, a dull cold drink came: "Don't let go yet!" Are you really the same as my Zheng family and your rootless Sun family? Even if I, Zheng Qiong, are down, my Zheng family is a hundred-year-old clan, how can I wait for you to bully! ”
Zheng Qiong came quickly, and was about to call someone to drive Sun Qiu's brothers and sisters out, so he heard Sun Qiu say: "So, Lord Sun doesn't want to become Lord Shangshu again at all?" ”
"What do you mean?" Zheng Qiong was slightly stunned.
Sun Wanwan took the opportunity to say: "We are here to let you make meritorious contributions, as long as you can do it, my father and the Nine Emperor Princes will have a way to make you become the secretary of the military department again, but you have to promise us two conditions." ”
"The Nine Emperor Princes have been grounded ......"
"It will be released soon and the title will be restored, it depends on whether the adults are willing to help or not." Sun Wanwan felt a little bit of the pleasure of being a villain, her chin was raised high, and she said condescendingly.
When Zheng Qiong heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, but he hesitated: "What conditions?" ”
"One, promise Miss Zheng to me as a wife." Zheng Qiong said immediately.
Sun Wan glanced at him, and Zheng Qiong didn't immediately refuse, but said, "What about two?" ”
Sun Wanwan waved her subordinates back, and then lowered her voice and said, "Second, there is a problem with the grain and grass transported to the southwest, and the adults have to find someone to blame it." ”
"Who?"
"The young master of Dali Temple, Xu Chengqing, who has been imprisoned and humiliated so far!"
