Hua Zhen thought in her heart, her face changed slightly, and Xiao Huaijin on the side couldn't help but look at her and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, you continue. ”

Now Zhao Ting can't wait to bring down the crown prince, and after he gets the evidence in Luzhou, he will definitely report the matter to the emperor as soon as possible. At that time, the emperor will be furious, because this matter involves the crown prince, and the emperor will definitely inquire in person, and then Zhang Guanghui will say in the Golden Palace that all this is instructed by King Qi. It was Zhao Ting who instructed him to use Zhang Yingnai's status as the prince's adviser to instigate Zhang Ying to murder the Su family under the pretense of brotherhood, and privately raised troops in Luzhou in the name of the prince.

wants to seize the throne in one fell swoop, but now that something has happened to the Ning family, he feels that the prince has no good help, and if Zhang Ying is pushed out at this time, the prince will inevitably be implicated. At that time, the prince will have no one to help, as long as this case is pushed on the prince, it will inevitably make the prince unable to escape the blame. Even if the emperor protects the crown prince again, he must give an explanation to the people of the world. ”

Listening to Xiao Huaijin's words, Hua Zhen frowned slightly: "You want Zhang Guang to bite Zhao Ting against the water, and push Zhang Ying to kill Zhao Ting all the things like the Su family, which makes people feel that all this is designed by Zhao Ting behind his back." ”

"That's right, in this way, the prince is naturally innocent, but the emperor is smart, and I am afraid that he will be suspicious of him in his heart. Xiao Huaijin said, his eyes never left Hua Zhen.

Hua Zhen didn't notice it, but frowned: "However, even if Zhang Guang is against the water, there is no evidence, how can he convince everyone." ”

Seeing the doubts in Hua Zhen's heart, Xiao Huaijin suddenly laughed: "You don't have to worry about this, there are some things you may not know, this Zhang Guang looks like Zhang Ying's cousin, under the prince." But in fact, this Zhang Guang is one person serving the three masters, he not only raises soldiers for the prince in private, but also the eyeliner that King Qi placed next to the prince, otherwise Zhang Ying's matter, how would Zhao Ting know. ”

"What about the third one?" Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Xiao Huaijin and instantly understood: "No wonder you can know about the hidden soldiers in Luzhou, and you can be so sure in dealing with Zhao Ting, it seems that the real master of this Zhang Guang is you Xiao Huaijin." ”

"Clever. Xiao Huaijin said and looked at the solemnity on Hua Zhen's face, but her eyebrows were crooked.

Seeing Xiao Huaijin like this, Hua Zhen couldn't help but be afraid in her heart: "Li Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is your person, and now even Zhang Guang next to the crown prince and King Qi is also your person, how many eyeliners have you placed in the court." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huaijin deliberately made a contemplative appearance and thought about it: "That's it, it's really not easy to survive in this world now, if I don't have any arrangements, I dare to enter Beijing, I'm afraid that the person sitting here talking to you today is a pile of white bones." ”

Hua Zhen understood Xiao Huaijin's words, and knew that no matter whether Yanbei was in the capital or the capital was in Yanbei, there were many people from the other side.

But even though she understood this, she couldn't help but feel a chill rise in her heart.

remembered that he wanted to use Xiao Huaijin when he entered Beijing, but he didn't expect it to be calculated by him, Hua Zhen was very glad that she didn't choose to be his enemy.

As if seeing Hua Zhen's thoughts, Xiao Huaijin smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter how much thought I have, there will always be only one purpose for you, which is to marry you back to Yanbei to be my concubine, and there is no other thought." ”

Xiao Huaijin said and looked at the sky that had darkened, stood up and took Hua Zhen's hand: "It's not early, I'll send you over." ”

After speaking, he pulled Hua Zhen and walked towards the corner door.

Jiang Fu and Beifeng followed behind, and when Hua Zhen passed the corner gate, Xiao Huaijin stopped.

"There are so many people, so I won't go, and if there's anything going on, just knock on this door. ”

Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't speak, just frowned slightly, and took Jiang Fu back to the theater.

Kyaukyue waited alone in the room, watching the sky getting darker and darker, worried about Hua Zhen's safety, and couldn't even sit still.

Wait for a movement outside the door, and hurry over.

Seeing that it was Hua Zhen and Jiang Fu, he breathed a sigh of relief: "County Lord, are you back?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen nodded: "Has anyone from the side been here today?"

Hearing this, Jiaoyue shook her head: "No, when it was almost dinner in the evening, I specially went to the outer courtyard and asked them to go to Zhiweifang to buy a few pastries that the county lord liked, and then went to the kitchen to get some food in, and did not let people get close to Xiaolou." ”

Kyaukyue said as she waited for Hua Zhen to sit down.

Because she was still wearing the clothes she had changed in Zhenwei Dart Bureau, just in case, Hua Zhen asked Kyaukyue to get a set of clothes to change.

Then ask them to prepare hot water.

This afternoon, from Guangjitang to Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and then out of the palace, plus the delay in Xiao Huaijin's time, it is now the time to hold the lamp.

Jiaoyue saw that Hua Zhen was still wearing the clothes of a palace maid, and immediately nodded in response, and went to the cabinet to find a set of clothes that Hua Zhen usually wore and put it aside.

Then he went and ordered the hot water to be carried to the clean room.

The subordinates who are serving in the county lord's mansion now are all sent by the Shen family, except for those twelve people, who are Jin Wuwei's soldiers.

Jiaoyue could only call two mothers-in-law who were serving in Zhixiang Garden and seemed to be honest and loyal to carry hot water in.

Hua Zhen changed her coat and the clothes of the palace maid, wore her usual clothes, sat in front of the dresser, and asked Jiang Fu to scatter her hair.

After Jiaoyue saw that her mother-in-law had prepared all the hot water in the clean room, she asked everyone to go down and go upstairs to find Hua Zhen.

Because Jiang Fu was also wearing the clothes of a palace maid, Hua Zhen asked Jiang Fu to go back and change her clothes first, and went to the clean room by Jiaoyue.

There was no one in the room, and Kyaukyue put her clean clothes aside and waited for Hua Zhen to take a bath.

As soon as Hua Zhen took off her clothes and sat in the barrel, she heard Jiaoyue exclaim: "County Lord, scorpions, there are so many scorpions." ”

The two of them saw that from the door, there were more than two dozen scorpions, crawling towards the house.

Kyaukyue suddenly panicked, looking at the scorpion standing in place in fright, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Hua Zhen quickly stood up, didn't care that there was still water on her body, and took the clothes on the side and put them on.

The scorpion had already run to him, and because there were only a few lights in the clean room, there were still many dark places that could not be seen, and no one knew where the scorpions had crawled.

Kyaukyue was in a panic helping Hua Zhen get dressed, and her face turned pale with fright.

Just waiting for Hua Zhen to put on her clothes, Jiaoyue said, "What should the county lord do now?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard her scream, and the scorpion crawled out of nowhere and stung her leg.

Jiaoyue's tears of pain suddenly fell, and when she lifted her trouser legs, she saw that her legs were already red and swollen, and the pain was piercing, and she couldn't move from the wound.

Seeing this, Jiang Fu, who rushed to hear the sound, hurriedly overturned the hot water in the barrel, trying to wash away the scorpion.

Suddenly, hot water splashed in the room, and Jiang Fu immediately helped Hua Zhen to leave the clean room quickly.

Waiting for Hua Zhen to stand still, she rushed in and carried Jiaoyue out.

The maid who was waiting in the theater listened to the movement, and hurriedly ran over, looking at Hua Zhen's disheveled clothes now.

A sharp-eyed maid hurriedly took off her clothes and put them on Hua Zhen.

"County Lord, beware of catching a cold. ”

Only then did I watch Jiang Fu come out with the moon on her back.

Jiaoyue was stung by a scorpion because of her leg, and her face was already blue at the moment.

Jiang Fu looked at Jiaoyue's wound, and then said, "County Lord, this scorpion is poisonous, it should be fed by people." ”

"How is Kyaukyue now?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen's eyes were fixed on the bright moon, her eyes full of worry.

Kyaukyue was the only servant left by the Hua family at the beginning, and she had been with Hua Zhen for the longest time, and now seeing that Kyaukyue was injured, Hua Hao only felt that there was a wave of anger in her heart and she couldn't hold back anymore.

Today, she has just lived in the county lord's mansion, and this is still the first day, and someone has already begun to calculate.

Thinking of this, Hua Zhen's eyes swept in front of the servants who were waiting, and there was no one else who could put the scorpion in the clean room except for the one who was waiting in the yard.

Thinking that these talents had just entered the mansion, they began to be eager to do it, and Hua Zhen's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

Jiang Fu hurriedly asked people to ask for a doctor, and he sealed the veins of Jiaoyue and tried not to let the poisonous blood spread.

Jin Wuwei in the outer courtyard also rushed over when he heard the news, and seeing Hua Zhen's disheveled clothes at the moment, he suddenly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at each other: "What happened to the county lord?"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at everyone coldly, and then pointed to the clean room: "Someone put a scorpion in the clean room, I don't know how many there are at the moment, go find some boiling water and splash it in the house, don't let the scorpion climb elsewhere." ”

Hearing that there were scorpions in the clean room, Jin Wuwei's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly went to get boiling water.

Hua Zhen looked at Jiaoyue and told Jiang Fu to carry her to the next room.

Although someone has already been sent to ask for a doctor, if it is late today, and there is no medical center near the county lord's mansion, it will take some time to invite the nearest doctor.

Jiang Fu watched Jiaoyue's face become more and more ugly, and suddenly became anxious: "County Lord, I'll go and take a look again, see if the doctor is coming!"

Hearing this, Hua Zhen looked at Jiaoyue, her fists clenched, and her nails almost dug into the flesh.

Then he looked at Jiang Fu: "Go to Tianxiang Building!"

"Yes!"

The maids who were waiting for them watched such a thing happen in the courtyard, and suddenly no one dared to move, and they all looked at it with trepidation.

Jin Wuwei splashed the inside and outside of the clean room with boiling water, scalding a lot of scorpions.

But I was afraid that there would be fish that slipped through the net and would hurt people, so I went to find the herbs to repel insects and lit them up and down the entire small building.

After they ordered the herbs, Jiang Fu over there also took Lu Wei, the bookkeeper of Tianxiang Building, into the mercy theater.

Because Jiang Fu was looking for a doctor, Lu Wei took a medicine box and followed Jiang Fu straight to the house where Jiaoyue was.

At this moment, no one cares where this doctor was invited, just worried about the bright moon in the house.

As soon as Lu Wei entered the door, he saw Hua Zhen sitting on the edge of the bed, his expression was slightly condensed, thinking about Jiang Fu's words, and immediately said respectfully: "Meet the county lord of Qinghe." ”
