The concubine is poisonous, and the tyrant lifts the couch to meet her

Lin Ruoxi and Lin Jingxuan came to the house of the virgin officer in a carriage, got out of the carriage, Lin Jingxuan helped Lin Ruoxi to get off the carriage, and the two stood beside the house gate.

Lin Jingxuan raised his hand and gently knocked on the door of the house. He just took a look, and saw a pale servant in his 40s who opened the door. Seeing Lin Jingxuan and Lin Ruoxi dressed in fine clothes, he guessed the identity of these two people. The status must be very noble.

Lin Jingxuan's voice did not carry any warmth, and he asked, "Has the maiden officer ever been in the house?"

The butler shook his head: "My master was called out early in the morning, but he gave me a letter before leaving, saying that if someone is looking for her, he will give this letter to him..."

The housekeeper looked Lin Ruoxi and Lin Jingxuan up and down, and took out the letter: "It seems that you are the ones the master wants to give."

Lin Ruoxi took the letter, but Lin Jingxuan worriedly stopped Lin Ruoxi from opening the envelope. Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly towards him, indicating that the letter would not be harmful at all and was safe. Lin Jingxuan then withdrew his hand. , Lin Ruoxi opened the envelope.

Yimu Shixing saw the content of the letter, and then he saw it clearly. It turned out that the virgin officer had lured Situ Zhan and Situ Bin away, and he had lured them to the palace, saying that he wanted to accuse the emperor of the crimes of Empress Wu?

Lin Ruoxi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly grabbed Lin Jingxuan's hand: "Jingxuan, let's go!"

Lin Jingxuan nodded, and got into the carriage with Lin Ruoxi, Lin Ruoxi asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the palace.

Lin Jingxuan asked in confusion: "Fourth sister, why are we going to the palace? Are we going to find Empress Wu?"

Lin Ruoxi shook her head: "Jingxuan, it seems that I guessed right, the maiden officer is trying to frame the Pingyang Houfu, she deliberately said that she is willing to tell the emperor all the crimes of Empress Wu, and let the emperor punish Empress Wu's crimes, fourth brother He Liudi was also really captivated by her sincere acting skills, obeyed her words, and is going to the palace with her to have an audience with the emperor."

Lin Jingxuan exclaimed: "Fourth Sister, what do you mean to say that the virgin officer wants to see the emperor again and bite Situ Zhan and Situ Bin back, saying that the Situ family forced her to slander Empress Wu? Let the emperor rule the entire Situ family. crime?"

"Jingxuan, what you said is correct, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple."

Lin Jingxuan also felt that this matter was too strange, why did he rush to talk about it at this time today instead of setting up this situation a few days later, or a few days in advance?

Both Lin Ruoxi and Lin Jingxuan fell into contemplation. They were silent all the way until the carriage entered the palace. Lin Jingxuan had a golden waist plate so he could enter and exit the gate of the palace freely. As soon as they entered the palace, Lin Jingxuan and Lin Ruoxi rushed to the emperor's imperial study He walked, but the footsteps of Lin Ruoxi and Lin Jingxuan stopped in front of the main hall.

Walking out of it was actually the downcast Mao Wang Li Mao and the chaste maid officer with a sinister face. The chastity officer's expression is not proud now, but his eyes are still full of calculations.

Seeing Lin Ruoxi, the maiden officer flicked towards Lin Ruoxi slightly: "Miss Situ, I didn't expect you to come back to the palace, did you come to find a servant girl?"

"Officer Zhennv, you are really insidious!" Lin Ruoxi glanced at King Mao with a look of ashes, and guessed something, she smiled: "It seems that I have disappointed Officer Zhennv."

But the virgin officer shook her head and said, "They are all grasshoppers on the same rope, no one can escape." She gave Li Mao a meaningful look, and smiled contemptuously.

Li Mao clenched his fists, wanting to smash the head of the virgin officer, but he still maintained a warm smile. The real smiling tiger is not the prince, it seems that it should be Li Mao, and it must be her.

"Officer Zhennv, everyone has time to walk at night, so you have to be careful!"

The maiden officer smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness Mao, slaves and maids generally do not leave the house at night, don't bother His Royal Highness Mao, the empress is still waiting for slaves, Lord Jingyu, His Royal Highness Mao and Miss Situ, slaves Farewell!"

The chastity officer smiled strangely, turned and left.

Lin Ruoxi sighed softly, looking at her back, always felt that this matter could not be calmed down like this. [

Lin Jingxuan, Lin Ruoxi and King Mao left the emperor's hall and walked in the long alley. Lin Jingxuan couldn't help asking: "Prince Mao, why did you meet the emperor with the virgin lady?"

King Mao's face froze: "It was originally Situ Zhan and Situ Bin who brought the virgin officer to meet the emperor, but I always feel that I will be more convincing if I bring her to the emperor. As long as I stir up the flames, I will definitely Putting Empress Wu at the disadvantage of severely punishing her, but I never expected that this virgin official would say that I forced him to speak ill of the empress and slander the empress, and said that this matter had nothing to do with the Marquis of Pingyang. The government has something to do with it, and what's even more exasperating is..."

Li Mao clenched his fists, the original warm smile disappeared, and he became extremely serious: "Someone even presented a memorial to the father, saying that the eldest son of Pingyang Hou and the third son general had evil intentions. The general was killed, and now he is on the run, intending to form an army and enter the palace for rebellion. The emperor told me this matter in a rage, and said that he wanted me to be confined in the palace for half a year, and asked me to think about it... It seems that the emperor wants to control me And mother and concubine, and the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion."

After Li Mao finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi and Lin Jingxuan glanced at each other, and finally understood why the maiden officer used this trick, adding fuel to the flames?Her wishful thinking is still really loud!

Even if Lin Ruoxi couldn't see the eldest son and the third son of the Situ family, she could still feel that Empress Wu must be behind this matter, and framed the eldest son and the third son of the Situ family.

Li Mao sighed deeply, first went to Lanxin Palace to meet Concubine Situ Hui and told Concubine Situ Hui everything that happened today.

And Lin Jingxuan and Lin Ruoxi returned to Pingyang Hou Mansion.

In the mansion, Mrs. Situ, Situ Zhan, and Situ Bin all stood outside the gate of Hou's mansion, looking into the distance with eyes full of joy and longing.

Seeing Lin Ruoxi and Lin Jingxuan's carriage approaching, and seeing Lin Ruoxi getting off the carriage, their expressions were still full of joy.

Lin Ruoxi knew that they must not be welcoming her back to the mansion, such a big scene and happy mood, it seems that there is only one thing, and that is to welcome Pingyang Hou back.

Lin Ruoxi walked up to Mrs. Situ, and asked with a smile: "Mother, are you all standing here to greet someone?"

Mrs. Situ held Lin Ruoxi's hand excitedly, still in a joyful expression: "Ruoxi, I have some good news for you. Just now, the guards around your father have sent the letter to the Hou Mansion in advance, saying that your father will be coming soon. I'm back home."

"It is indeed a good thing that father can come back!"

In fact, Lin Ruoxi didn't think so in her heart, because Pingyanghou Situyu rushed back to Pingyanghou's mansion after receiving her secret letter, but somehow, according to her calculations, she should be able to come back before the old lady passed away to meet the living The old lady never thought that Situ Yu would not come back, even the old lady's funeral, he couldn't come back, it must be delayed, and the only person who delayed him was Empress Wu.

Since Empress Wu was able to delay Situ Yu's trip, there must be her conspiracy.

Lin Ruoxi was thinking this way, but she didn't tell Mrs. Situ these suspicious words.

And Lin Jingxuan over there has already called Situ Zhan and Situ Bin aside, and he said softly: "The virgin officer did not tell the emperor about the crimes of Empress Wu in front of the emperor, but instead bit King Mao, saying that he slandered Empress Wu, the emperor Very angry, but fortunately, he only fined King Mao and banned him from the palace for six months."

Situ Zhan and Situ Bin looked at each other, full of astonishment. They were thinking, if the two brothers were the ones who brought the virgin officer to meet today, and they were not the emperor's sons, slandering the queen would be a serious crime for the mother of a country. So don't they have to die?

Lin Jingxuan sighed lightly: "This is the end of the matter, let's not act rashly, and..." He thought for a while but stopped, because seeing Lin Ruoxi shaking his head in his direction, he seemed to have guessed Lin Jingxuan's move.

Lin Jingxuan waved his hand and said: "Well, I forgot what I wanted to say. In short, you two must stop trying to learn anything from the chastity officer, let alone attack the chastity officer easily."

Situ Zhan gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "Yes, this virgin officer has practiced such a magical skill, no matter how hard I kill her, I can't kill her. It's better to stay as far away from her as possible."

But Situ Bin snorted coldly: "I think it would be a good way to use Empress Wu to kill the virgin lady one day, and she would be willing to die in Empress Wu's hands."

What he said awakened Lin Jingxuan and Situ Zhan, saying that the maiden official was invulnerable and couldn't be killed no matter what, but she also had a fatal weakness, which was Empress Wu herself.

Both Lin Jingxuan and Situ Zhan were thinking about this, when suddenly a brown horse appeared at the entrance of the long alley, and a middle-aged man in a long brown coat was sitting on the horse's back. As the horse got closer, You can also see the man's face clearly, with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, a heroic figure, and a man's righteousness all over his body. It is Situ Yu, Marquis of Pingyang.

Mrs. Situ waved at Situ Yu: "Master Hou, Master Hou!~"

Situ Yu rode a steed to the gate of the Hou Mansion, jumped off the horse gracefully, and came to Madam Situ, stretched out his big hand to hold Madam Situ's small hand, and said with concern: "Madam, I must have worried you !"

Mrs. Situ shook her head: "Master Hou, as long as you can return safely!"

Situ Zhan, Situ Bin, and Lin Ruoxi all embraced and called to Situ Yu excitedly.

"Father!~"

"Father, you are back!"

"Father!~"

When Situ Yu saw his three children, his vision gradually became hazy, and when he thought of the death of his second son, his heart ached even more.

"Fourth, sixth, Ruoxi...you're all right!" Situ Yu took a deep breath, looking at his children, feeling filled with emotion.

He suddenly looked at Mrs. Situ: "Madam, the old lady..." He didn't even dare to say the next words, and he stopped.

Mrs. Situ lowered her beautiful eyes: "The old lady has passed away..."

Situ Yu's heart skipped a beat twice. If he hadn't been delayed for five days on the road, how could he not see the old lady for the last time?

His second son is gone, and the old lady is also dead. God, do you really have the heart to make him feel so sad?

Lin Jingxuan sighed deeply, knowing that Situ Yu would be sad and unbearable, but because of his status as an outsider, he still didn't want to go to Pingyanghou to say hello, interrupting his sustenance and longing for this relationship.

Lin Jingxuan nodded slightly towards Lin Ruoxi, then turned and left.

Situ Yu held back his tears, took a deep breath, and said, "Madam, please guide me, I'm going to see the old lady and Han'er!"

Mrs. Situ nodded with a sob, and turned to look at Lin Ruoxi and the two Situ family brothers, so the three asked Situ's mansion to prepare a carriage, and the Situ family headed towards the place where the old lady and Situ Han were buried.

Lin Jingxuan returned to Jingyuhou's mansion in the carriage, and was about to get off the carriage when he saw a woman in a long red dress and a red cloak slipping in front of him who had just got off the carriage, her smile was as beautiful as a rosy cloud: " Jing Yu, why did you come back?"

Lin Jingxuan sighed helplessly: "Hey, I don't want to mention it anymore, this battle must have been lost."

Princess Izumo smiled, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, don't be downcast, I saw you a few days ago, and you refused to see me. I didn't expect that you were thinking about how to deal with Empress Wu... ..."

As soon as she said this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth. 13v.

Lin Jingxuan glared at her: "Look at you, with such a reserved mouth, do I dare to tell you these things?"

Princess Izumo smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I'll just pay attention in the future. Did anything happen to you a few days ago?"

Lin Jingxuan said: "Yes, something serious happened. I fell under the poisonous curse cast by the maiden official next to her, and almost died."

Princess Izumo looked very surprised, and then blamed: "Please, you have been under such a terrible curse, why don't you tell me, if you just disappear quietly like this, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "What do you mean by that?"

Princess Izumo hurriedly lowered her eyes to hide the panic in her heart. She was too impatient to say these words. She smiled again: "It's nothing, I just feel that if I lose a good buddy like you, I will never be happy for the rest of my life." won't be happy."

"Oh!" Lin Jingxuan responded lightly, walked into Jingyuhou's mansion, and Princess Izumo followed closely behind him.

Princess Izumo frowned, and walked behind Lin Jingxuan, thinking in his heart, how could Lin Jingxuan fall under the curse so easily?Could it be that some spy appeared beside him?

Thinking of this, she felt that one person's behavior was indeed a little weird.

She hurriedly called Lin Jingxuan: "Jing Yu, wait a moment, there is something I have to tell you."

Lin Jingxuan stopped in his tracks, squinted his eyes and asked, "Izumo, what do you want to tell me?"

"Just now I saw your bodyguard, Mo Xuehen, who jumped onto the high wall and entered the Hou's mansion. I was thinking that if this is the Jingyuhou's mansion, wouldn't he be able to come and go freely in and out of the Hou's mansion? How could he do it today? There is something wrong with such a sneaky thing, right?"

Lin Jingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his clear eyes turned dark: "It seems that he wants to avenge his kindness."

Princess Izumo said: "Could it be that you have been poisoned by the curse, and it has something to do with him? Did he betray you?"

Lin Jingxuan nodded: "That's right, he was the one who betrayed me!"

Princess Izumo frowned: "Jing Yu, I think he should be ambushing in your courtyard, why don't you let me capture him and let you deal with it."

A gust of autumn wind blew, Lin Jingxuan couldn't help coughing a few times, his face turned pale again, but he stood upright, waved his hands and said: "No need, this is my own business, let me do it!"

Princess Izumo curled her lips, and her gorgeous face was a little more childish, and she looked very cute: "Okay, don't hold on anymore, have you forgotten? We are good buddies, are you still afraid Shall I lose face in front of me? Just wait, I'll catch him right away. "

Princess Izumo didn't wait for Lin Jingxuan to stop her, she ran away like oil on the soles of her feet, Lin Jingxuan couldn't help opening his mouth with a headache: "Come on, hurry up and protect Princess Izumo!"

The guards around him were ordered to chase after Princess Izumo, but Lin Jingxuan covered his chest, feeling some pain in his chest, and quickened his pace to chase.

Princess Izumo came to Lin Jingxuan's house and looked around, but there was no suspicious figure, and there were also servants who served Lin Jingxuan on weekdays.

She pursed her lips, thinking that Mo Xuehen might be hiding in Lin Jingxuan's room. If Lin Jingxuan walked into the room unprepared, Mo Xuehen would easily succeed and kill Lin Jingxuan.

Princess Izumo drew a long sword from her waist and walked towards Lin Jingxuan's room. When she reached the door, she stretched out her hand and opened it gently. The door creaked open. She walked in and turned around to close the door.

At the moment she turned around, she felt a cold sword energy coming from behind her.

Princess Izumo turned over and easily dodged, and jumped behind the man who attacked her. She raised her long sword and stabbed at the back of the man in dark blue long clothes. , turned around and blocked the attack of Princess Izumo.

The two fought for a few rounds, and Princess Izumo suddenly took out a few meteor darts from his waist. While blocking Mo Xuehen's attack with a long sword, he threw the meteor dart and stabbed Mo Xuehen's head. On the knees of both legs, Mo Xuehen lost his foothold and knelt on the ground.

Princess Izumo swung the long sword horizontally and placed it on Mo Xuehen's neck.

Mo Xuehen lowered her head and begged: "Princess Izumo, please let me go, I really didn't mean to hurt you."

Princess Izumo snorted coldly: "Then you just want to hurt Lord Jingyu? Let me tell you, you don't want to hurt him when I'm here."

Mo Xuehen gritted her teeth and glared at Princess Izumo angrily, "Since you won't let me go, then I have no choice but to die in front of you."

Mo Xuehen's neck suddenly leaned forward, and Princess Izumo's long sword slashed across his neck. Suddenly, a red line appeared on his neck, and he fell to the ground on his back.

Princess Izumo exclaimed: "Hey, I didn't say I would kill you, why did you kill yourself?"

Princess Izumo walked over curiously, and wanted to probe Mo Xuehen's breath with his fingers, but at this moment, Mo Xuehen suddenly opened his eyes and showed a ferocious smile, because when he fell down, his Holding the long sword tightly in his hand, he raised the long sword and was about to stab Princess Izumo in the chest.

Princess Izumo let out an "Ah", and it was too late to dodge. She thought she would be pierced through the chest by a long sword, but at this moment, my disciples kicked her away, and a white figure appeared in front of her, and threw her Hugged in his arms, he threw himself into the distance, dodging Mo Xuehen's sword.

But the sword came too fast after all, Princess Izumo dodged it, but Lin Jingxuan's arm was slashed.

Mo Xuehen raised his sword and originally wanted to assassinate Lin Jingxuan, but when he saw more than a dozen top guards appearing at the door, he was busy thinking about getting out of his body, but unexpectedly the meteor dart on his knee had an effect. His legs were weak, and he fell to his knees again.

Lin Jingxuan narrowed his eyes: "Take him down!"

The guards rushed into the house and captured Mo Xuehen.

Princess Izumo looked at Lin Jingxuan's bleeding arm very worriedly. In desperation, he tore off a large strip of his sleeve, and tightly tied the wound for Lin Jingxuan, stopping his bleeding arm.

"Jing Yu, are you alright?"

Lin Jingxuan said lightly: "Try to be cut by the sword, will you be fine?"

Although she was teasing, Princess Izumo couldn't laugh. Seeing that Lin Jingxuan was injured, her heart ached. She wished that the person who was stabbed was herself.

She lowered her beautiful eyes and admitted her mistake like a child: "Jing Yu, I'm sorry, I was too reckless."

"It's okay, just don't be so reckless next time, or you will really hurt others and yourself!" Ruohe came to guess.

Princess Izumo was wronged this time, so she couldn't justify it with him, but just gave him a sneaky look, and said this sentence, as if she was a troublesome woman.

Thinking of the culprit, Mo Xuehen, who was still kneeling on the ground, Princess Izumo suddenly became angry, and raised his sword to stab Mo Xuehen to death, but was stopped by Lin Jingxuan.

"Izumo, wait a minute, keep him... because I promised someone!"

Princess Izumo stopped the long sword he was waving in his hand, and asked puzzledly, "Who is this person?"

……

Lin Ruoxi accompanied Situ Yu to the place where the old lady and Situ Han were buried, and it was already sunset when they returned to Pingyang Hou Mansion.

But at this time, there were two familiar figures standing outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, the handsome and elegant man dressed in white clothes like snow, and the woman as delicate and beautiful as a peony, all over the country.

Seeing the two of them standing together, Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt a sour feeling in her heart, why did she feel this way?How strange.

Lin Ruoxi lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly. It seemed that she was becoming more and more selfish. When Jing Xuan grew up, she should have her own feelings.

Princess Izumo saw that Lin Ruoxi saw them, and she waved towards Lin Ruoxi with a beautiful smile and a gentle voice: "Ruoxi, we are coming to see you!"

Lin Ruoxi smiled softly as she walked: "Izumo County Master came to the Marquis Mansion, originally Ruoxi should have posted a post, otherwise, wouldn't she have neglected the Princess?"

"It's okay, if you don't post, don't we come here uninvited? We are all friends, and these restraining etiquette should not have been there long ago!"

Lin Jingxuan looked at Lin Ruoxi, and he said softly, "Fourth Sister, I want to bring you someone!"

Lin Ruoxi narrowed her bright black eyes slightly, and her voice became a bit lower: "Could it be that you caught him?"
