Lin Ji's struggling life

Chapter 38 Poisoning

The days passed so quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost the New Year again.

Recently, Lin Ji deliberately went to Jia's mansion to bring Lin Daiyu back to the Lin family for the New Year. After all, he didn't agree with Mrs. Jia's suggestion to stay in Jia's mansion for the New Year, but went back to the Lin family's mansion.

It was the time of mourning, and there were no banquets, let alone decorations, etc. The two siblings just stayed at home blindly, and they lived comfortably.Because they also took in some servants when they were in the capital, this time they were all let them go home for the New Year. They were rewarded with generous gifts and wages, and the big guys went home happily to celebrate the New Year.Without these people, the house was much quieter.

On New Year's Eve, Mother Xu prepared a large table of delicious dishes. Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu to sacrifice to the ancestors first, and then to Jia Min. When they finished their work and sat down, they lost their appetite.Daiyu seldom used some noodles, thinking of her father who was far away, and thinking of her mother who was still there on New Year's Eve last year, she was a little sad.And Lin Ji was also quite emotional, probably because of being in this foreign land, or because of the relative scene.

The two siblings were speechless for a while.

The servants at the gatehouse were having a sweet dinner. The master kept his filial piety, and they didn't like big fish and meat, but it was a better enjoyment to have a mouthful of fresh vegetables in winter.Just as he picked up the pastry cheese and was about to take a sip to quench his thirst, the door panel was slammed and he was so scared that he dropped the bowl.

He cursed secretly, opened the small window on the door, and asked loudly: "Who is here? What's the matter?" It seems that the young master didn't order any guests to come to the door today. The Lin family is in the filial piety period, who will come to the door at this time , it's really strange.

"Guarjia's Wenzhu, the guard with the sword in front of the imperial court, is here. It's an emergency. Please open the door quickly and inform Lieutenant Lin!" The servant stretched out his head and saw a guard with a sword in a yellow jacket standing in front of the door. Jumping again in fright, he hurriedly ran to the back room, but forgot to open the door.

Fortunately, Wen Zhu and Lin Ji are also familiar with each other, otherwise, if one is convicted, the boy will not be able to eat and walk around.

Lin Ji was playing backgammon with Lin Daiyu. They had to keep watch on New Year's Eve, and the night was long, so they always had to do something to pass the time.The Bai Fu Bai Rong and Ru Chun Ru Xia who are guarding beside him are all embracing, which is quite appropriate.The others were busy on their own, Lin Ji set up a table for them in the front and back yards for them to get together.

Just when the two were having a good time, the gatekeeper came rushing all the way, panting so hard that he couldn't speak clearly.After resting for a long time, he said: "Young master, there is a royal guard outside the door!" At this moment, he remembered that he had shut the door, and he broke out in a cold sweat.He didn't actually look at the front door, it's just that the former boy had gone home and asked him to push it up for a while, well, something went wrong this time.

The servant followed Lin Ji dejectedly and walked towards the door. When Lin Dong opened the door, he saw Guerjia's Wenzhu with a dark face.

"Lieutenant Lin, the matter is urgent. This time, the Holy Master was assassinated at the New Year's Eve banquet, and the fourth elder brother was poisoned. I am waiting for your help. Master Wu'an said that the things given to you by the Five Poisons Sect can be of great help!" So hurry up and bring your things. Come into the palace with yourself.

When Lin Ji heard this, he was taken aback. Assassinated at the New Year's Eve banquet? !These gangsters are really bold, he followed behind Wen Zhu, "I'll take it with me, let's go." The two rode straight to the palace.

There is still a long distance between the Lin family's mansion and the imperial palace, so Lin Ji regretted it a bit. When he becomes an official in the future, he must buy a house near the inner city.The chaos in my mind is all about the assassination and poisoning of the fourth elder brother, and I keep comforting myself that the fourth elder brother is the next emperor, it's okay, it's okay.

Wen Zhu took the red card bestowed by the emperor and led him all the way to the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and rushed into the house. Before he could salute, he was dragged to the bed by the thirteenth prince.I saw Yinzhen's face was pale, but his lips were extremely red, and he was sweating profusely while lying on the bed, looking very critical.

The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital knelt on the ground, and Wu'an was treating him.Lin Ji took out the jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Wu'an, "Master, this is medicine." The so-called sacred object of the Five Poison Sect that He Hongyao gave him was naturally placed in the space.

From what Lin Ji saw, Yinzhen should have protected someone's arrow, presumably it must have been the sleeve arrow, which made him fall so unguardedly.He has studied various assassination techniques before, and it seems that the other party is also a good hand, so he can succeed so easily.

"Master, is it Yun Tianhua?" Lin Ji has been following this man recently, so it must be him.

Wu'an finished the last needle before replying: "No, this time it's a woman, a side Fujin from Prince Gong's mansion." He was also a little helpless, and never thought that the assassin was a woman, "It should be Bai Lian I taught it, but this woman is very skilled in martial arts and has a good background in lightness kung fu, even though she was hurt, she still let her run away."

Wu'an was also very helpless at this point, he thought that he could protect the fourth elder brother by following him, or in other words, he could protect the emperor in time.Who would have thought that that person was clearly aiming at the crown prince, he was in a hurry and was thrown out of the way.

Lin Ji was stunned. When will another woman appear?This world is really wonderful, an inexplicable woman can hurt the current elder brother, and it is still in the palace, at the banquet.

After Wu'an fed the medicine, seeing that the fourth elder brother's condition had stabilized, he took Lin Ji out. The emperor was waiting outside, accompanied by a large group of elder brothers. "Report to the emperor, the fourth elder brother is fine." After Wu'an finished speaking, he poked Lin Ji and gave him a wink.

Lin Ji understood, knelt down and raised his hands above his head, the bottle of holy medicine was in his hand. "Your Majesty, this is the Holy Medicine of the Five Poisons Sect, which can cure all poisons. Please accept it!" It's not that he will flatter, but that this thing has already been seen by everyone. It is better to keep it by your side than to send it out to save trouble.

Kangxi took a deep look at Lin Ji, and signaled Liang Jiugong to take over. "This is thanks to the master, please hurry up." Naturally, he saw clearly the small movements between Wu'an and Lin Ji, but it didn't matter, he had already investigated in private, the acquaintance of the two and the fourth child It was purely accidental, nothing deliberate about it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Wu'an got up, he said again: "Your Majesty, the fourth elder brother still needs to take good care of himself. It is best not to move. It will take two days before he can be moved back to his residence." He tried his best to fight for Yinzhen, " He is weak and not fit to be supplemented, I will ask Lin Ji to send some medicine, just take it regularly."

"Okay, then Master Lao." Kangxi still respects Wu'an. For him, people in the Jianghu are generally not easy to deal with, but Wu'an is an accident.

Kangxi went into the house to see his son, followed by a group of elder brothers.Lin Ji suddenly felt sorry for these people, tsk, he obviously wanted the other party to die in his heart, and even pretended to be heartbroken and worried about him, it was tiring to think about it. "See if I got you a good job?!" Wu'an pulled Lin Ji and whispered, "Send me some medicine later, it's urgent."

Lin Ji resisted the urge to roll his eyes, knowing that he would. "Didn't I just send you a batch?" When he grows medicines, he grows cabbages, so he can harvest them whenever he wants?

"Hey, isn't it all used up by Lingsu? She discussed with Hong Yao to go to Tianshan Mountain. Two weak girls always need more self-defense methods. I can't bear to be harsh."

Lin Ji gritted his teeth a little bit because of Wu'an's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, just those two humanoid killers, weak girls, I'm sorry. "Okay, got it." Reluctantly agreed, under the leadership of Liang Jiugong, the two went out of the palace.

Entering the palace in a hurry this time, Lin Ji rushed home, wondering if Lin Daiyu was frightened.

When we got home, the lights were brightly lit, and we didn't dare to sleep in the middle of the night, just waiting for Lin Ji to come back.The moment Lin Ji stepped into Lin's house, the whole Lin's house boiled.

"Brother?!" Lin Daiyu rushed over from the corridor and threw herself into Lin Ji's arms, "I was scared to death, what happened? Lin Dong didn't speak clearly, I thought something serious happened." She was obviously playing chess with her brother, but the boy's words about the imperial guards startled her too, and then her brother never returned.It really made Lin Daiyu's little heart tremble twice. Of course, with Mammy Xiong's comfort, she settled down and waited.

It's just that no one came back until midnight, and the more anxious he became, he pulled Lin Dong and kept asking, only forcing Lin Dong to break out in a profuse sweat.Mammy Xiong watched from the side, sighing secretly, this girl still needs to be taught.

"It's okay, let's go inside." The weather was very cold, Lin Daiyu's hands were cold, and she didn't know how long she had stood on the porch.

In fact, it was just after leaving the palace that Wu'an told him what happened today.

A few days ago, Prince Gong invited a pregnant concubine to be his concubine, and this woman was so favored that he asked Fujin to bring her to the banquet on New Year's Eve.But who would have thought that this person disappeared in the palace, and no one found it except Fujin, but it was hard for Fujin to say clearly that he was looking for someone, so he had to press the button.

But who would have thought that the woman had changed into a palace attire and stood beside the prince. When she was about to succeed, the fourth elder brother found out. During the struggle, the woman released a sleeve arrow in the direction of Kangxi, but the fourth elder brother blocked it.The woman was injured and fled, but the fourth elder brother fell to the ground.

The imperial physician at the imperial hospital was helpless to deal with the fourth elder brother's injury. Thirteen thought of Master Wu'an who was a guest at the fourth elder brother's house recently, and thought of his reputation as a master of both medicine and poison, so he rushed to invite someone. to the scene.

"Okay, it's just a little thing. Wu'an just asked me to do a little favor, don't worry about it." Lin Ji pulled Lin Daiyu to sit down in front of the brazier, and took her hand to warm the fire.

Master Wuchen?Lin Daiyu thought of the chivalrous old man, and of her sister Lingsu who had been with her for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, where is sister Lingsu?" She knew that Cheng Lingsu was a disciple of Master Wu'an, since Master Wu'an came , Sister Lingsu should be there too, "Isn't she staying at Hongluo Temple?" Could it be possible to invite her to the house?

Lin Ji looked at Lin Daiyu's expectant face, and couldn't help but said: "Your sister Lingsu is going to travel the rivers and lakes with He Hongyao, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come for some days." It's a blessing to go for a while.

"Huh?!" Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, such an exciting thing as walking in the rivers and lakes is indeed what the cool sister Hongyao would do. "Brother, when will I be able to walk in the rivers and lakes?" She has always had a rivers and lakes dream in her heart. Since Cheng Lingsu taught her to practice martial arts, Lin Daiyu has always felt that she has the potential to become a martial arts master.

The author has something to say: In fact, Daiyu is also very good at walking in the rivers and lakes, it should be.
