Chapter 297: Death as a substitute for sin
"It's General Jin who has an accident."
Ying Jiu lowered his head, his face showed a dejected look, although he had expected to be forced to ask by Shaohua, he still felt a little depressed. It's just that compared to Yingjiu's helplessness, Shaohua was shocked by his words, and his heart was like being knocked on a sturdy Wutong case by a startling tree, and the nerves on his forehead immediately jumped out.
Shaohua clenched his fists, looked at Yingjiu deadly, and asked sharply: "What's wrong, don't hang my appetite!" ”
Ying Jie cautiously looked at Shaohua's expression, a little difficult to grasp her mood, but still reported the truth: "I heard that Long Live Lord personally interrogated General Jin and asked him to spit out the mastermind behind him, he was so excited that he crashed into front of the holy car and died. ”
This news was like thunder, and Shaohua was speechless: "Dead? ”
Not long ago, I learned that the matter in Pingzhou was done by Mrs. Yan at the behest of Jin Zhaocheng, and before the reason was found, Yan Kaizhi informed the emperor that he had sent someone to arrest Jin Zhaocheng. has been worried about Mrs. Yan's body and mental state, and has not been able to distinguish the mood to care about Jin Zhaocheng's situation. just thought about it privately, with Jin Zhaocheng's temperament, because he would not confess Mrs. Yan. And if anyone wants to be suspicious, as long as they can't come up with evidence, it is all empty and unsubstantiated, how can they make such a drama as He Wuzhou.
But she never expected that Jin Zhaocheng was not only arrested and returned to Beijing, but also cut off everyone's clues with his death.
Shaohua admired Jin Zhaocheng's courage, but the doubts in his heart became worse, could it be that Jin Zhaocheng really committed suicide to save Mrs. Yan, or did he have another hidden secret. If it is for Mrs. Yan, then the rumors outside that Jin Zhaocheng has a deep love for Mrs. Yan are also true. Now that the Xu He family is in a deep quagmire, Jin Zhaocheng did not stop there, but turned the spearhead to the Marquis of Xingyong's Mansion and Mrs. Yan.
At this moment, Empress Dowager He will definitely not come out to defend Mrs. Yan, and it would be good if she didn't come out and fall into the ground.
His mind suddenly turned into a mess, Shaohua admired Jin Zhaocheng, and felt that he was also too successful and more than ruined, and the matter had not been resolved, so what was the strength of death.
Yingjiu said: "Yes, Master Hou is afraid that Mrs. and Mrs. Tai will worry, so he asked us to hide it." ”
Shaohua scolded angrily, "Such a big thing, do you think you can hide it, Master Hou won't come back so late, I'll just go out and inquire about it." What if something happens to the Hou Ye, you hide it so much and delay the rescue! Ying-jeou was scolded and dissatisfied, and Shaohua was so angry that he didn't want to deal with him.
At this time, the short and sturdy Wangfu trotted in all the way, saw Shaohua, and immediately saluted: "Madam, someone from the palace handed over a message, saying that the Hou Ye will not come back tonight, so he will stay in the palace." ”
Shaohua immediately couldn't sit still, slapped the table, the whole person stood up, and asked anxiously, "What about that person?" ”
As soon as Jin Zhaocheng died like this, Yan Kaizhi was left in the palace, could it be that Hongyi was angry with Yan Kaizhi. If it wasn't Hongyi, could it be the Empress Dowager He, after all, Jin Zhaocheng had no proof of death, and he was under the guise of avenging Yan Su, so it was normal to vent his anger with Yan Kaizhi.
Thinking about it like this, Shaohua finally knew why she was so restless, Yan Kaizhi was in danger now, how could she live a safe and easy life.
Wangfu lowered his little eyes and said cautiously, "Just left." ”
Shaohua was so anxious that he said loudly: "Why didn't you stop him." ”
Wangfu looked very innocent, he was not guarding the door, and Shaohua didn't tell the people in the palace to stop him, could he still control it if they wanted to leave. Wangfu hurriedly turned his eyes to Chu He and the others for help, Chu He nodded to him, walked towards Shaohua, and said softly: "Madam, what now?" ”
Although they didn't understand what they had just said, they could see that the matter was very serious, and the plan for now was to find a way to solve it.
Shaohua also thought of this, waved his hand to let Wangfu and Yingjiu retreat first, and then said to Chuhe and them: "Tell everyone to stay vigilant tonight, and never leave their posts without permission." No corner of the night patrol should be left out in case something happens. ”
Shaohua's serious tone made them all nervous, and Bidie asked cautiously, "What will happen." ”
As a result, they got a pair of eye knives that Chu He and Youhan flew at the same time, and they can joke as much as they want on weekdays, under special circumstances, Shaohua just said that they were the same, they just did it, and they didn't have to talk too much.
Looking out the window at the moon like silver and the night clear as water, it seemed to be the calm before the storm, so calm that it made her panic. Shaohua sighed softly: "I don't know either. She also hopes that nothing will happen, and hopes that she will be able to see Yan Kaizhi come back as soon as she wakes up tomorrow, but it is obviously not easy to survive this night, "Youhan, you accompany me to visit Mrs. Tai." ”
She always thought that Jin Zhaocheng's death could not be concealed from Mrs. Yan, and she also hoped that she would stop thinking nonsense, even if all this was her plan, Jin Zhaocheng had already volunteered to be a substitute for the dead, and the rest had to erase the traces that should be, and nothing would happen. At least there will be no worries about life, and other riches and glories will be left to fate.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lin coming out of Mrs. Yan's house, and Shaohua stepped forward to say hello: "Mother Lin, is A-Niang resting?" ”
Lin was obviously surprised by Shaohua's late-night visit: "No, what about being in the house with the little young master, is there anything wrong with Madame?" "Because of what happened last time, Mrs. Yan had an outside heart for her and refused to let her serve nearby. However, the Lin family was also willing, after all, after serving for so many years, she couldn't watch Mrs. Yan lose weight like this.
Shaohua smiled and didn't say it explicitly, "It's nothing, just come and have a look." ”
After saying goodbye to the Lin family, Shaohua took Youhan into the house, just in time to see Mrs. Yan and her grandson having fun. Compared with the pale and thin days ago, the days when there were dough doughs with her, Mrs. Yan's complexion was obviously much better, and the gloomy aura in the Yin Hall was also dispelled a lot. The dough shook its fleshy little paws, and stuffed it towards Mrs. Yan's mouth with a smile, and Mrs. Yan pretended to bite, but he quickly took it back, making her pounce in the air, and immediately giggled happily, and stretched out his little fist after laughing.
After so many times, the grandfather and grandson had a good time, and Shaohua felt happy when she looked at it, and she walked over softly, "A-Niang Wanfu." ”
Seeing Shaohua come in, Mrs. Yan immediately put away her smile and made a look of ignoring her, "You really figured it out, do you want to take your son back?" ”
When Fan Tuan heard his mother's voice, he turned his head excitedly, and when he saw his mother coming, he struggled to escape from Mrs. Yan's embrace, stretched out his hand to her, and babbled and shouted in his mouth. Shaohua looked at his son's pleading, and didn't step forward, but just motioned for Youhan to step forward and hug him down, so that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could have space to talk.
How do you know that as soon as the dough saw that it was Youhan coming up, not Shaohua, as if they knew that they were going to take him away, they immediately turned around and protected Mrs. Yan's neck, refusing to let go.
Mrs. Yan didn't expect the dough to take the initiative to give it away, and flowers bloomed in her eyes, so she naturally picked it up, but the dough still refused to let go, for fear of being picked up.
Seeing this, Shaohua was not reluctant, anyway, a little milk baby would not affect their conversation, so he asked Youhan to retreat first. With a smile, he walked towards Mrs. Yan and sat down beside her, "How come, I think A-Niang and the dough are getting along very well." She held out her finger to tease Fandough's face, and he turned his head to Mrs. Yan's other shoulder angrily, refusing to let his mother play.
Mrs. Yan is also a protective grandson, holding the dough, turned sideways, facing Shaohua, and said coldly: "Say, what do you want to tell me again." ”
Looking at the posture of his ancestors and grandchildren, Shaohua knew that he couldn't please him, so he turned the topic on the right track. She straightened her sitting posture, put away the joke on her face, and said seriously: "I have something to tell A-Niang, Jin Shen is about to die." Mrs. Yan stiffened, with a slightly surprised expression on her face, and Shaohua continued: "I was killed in front of the car, and now that my husband is left in the palace, I am afraid that something will happen." ”
Mrs. Yan muttered, "He's still dead." Sensing that something was wrong with her grandmother, she let go of her little hand, tilted her head curiously to look at her, and then looked at her mother's serious expression, and immediately climbed down from her obediently, and sat on her lap without messing around.
Shaohua was very satisfied with his son's well-behavedness, looked at Mrs. Yan again, and said suspiciously: "A-Niang knew that Jin Shen would commit suicide?" ”
Mrs. Yan also stroked the little head of the dough fondly, watching him raise his head and smile at her with pettiness, Mrs. Yan also smiled softly: "What does it have to do with me if he dies or not, in a few days, everything will be over." "What she wants is seamless, even if the matter of Pingzhou is exposed, isn't it true that the Xu family and the He family have not done these bad things. Jin Zhaocheng just lifted the bottom of the two families for her, so that Hongyi could have a legitimate reason to get rid of them. It is her business for the Empress Dowager He to protect it, but she is afraid that it will be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it will be difficult to protect herself.
"What do you mean?" Shaohua saw that Mrs. Yan was smiling calmly, as if she knew everything well, and she was confident, as if she had arranged all the future affairs and retreats, she suddenly became nervous: "A-Niang, you must not do stupid things anymore." ”
Mrs. Yan smiled at Shao Hua, "Don't worry, I won't die in front of you if I die." ”
Shaohua was so numb by her laughter, "Ah Niang, can you not mention death, what is going on, you have to let me understand." It was a very weird smile, as if it was a smile that saw through the red dust, was tired of the world, and was about to become an immortal at any time.
Mrs. Yan closed the corners of her mouth, the expression on her face gradually became erratic, her eyes looked at the moonlight in the courtyard, and said with some sarcasm: "Don't you know, everything is just deserved." Even if it was Jin Zhaocheng, he was innocent, if it wasn't for him, his husband would not have died tragically. ”
Shaohua knew that Mrs. Yan would inevitably reveal something, so she immediately leaned forward nervously and stared at Mrs. Yan's eyes: "What happened back then, wasn't it because the Xu family framed her?" ”
I only heard Mrs. Yan sigh for a long time, and her voice seemed to come from the clouds, "There are some things that are safer to know than to know." ”
Shaohua was a little irritable, she didn't like to pinch one sentence into three and a half sentences, "Ah Niang, so far, it's not about talking about the problem of An's insecurity, as soon as Jin Shen will die, Pingzhou's affairs are not over, and the husband is now trapped in the palace, and I don't know what the second master's thoughts are." I was so obsessed with marrying my husband, I was mentally prepared for a long time, and the great difficulties couldn't frighten me. Her bold words made Mrs. Yan immediately impressed.
As if she didn't know the person in front of her, Mrs. Yan stared at Shaohua's face, looked at half a pillar of incense for a long time, her eyes flickered a little, and the corners of her mouth trembled: "Wu Niang, you are a good girl, I am not good, I shouldn't drag you in." ”
"A-Niang, this is what I am willing, you still tell me what happened back then."
Yan Kaizhi, who she took the initiative to chase, broke into his sight again and again, and even let go of her arrogance and married Yan Kaizhi. So everything now, even if it is bitter, she can be with Yan Kaizhi, and she is willing to be with her.
