"Alright, I'll go now. Be careful, lass."
Qinghu raised his hand and touched Lin Mengya's long hair. He raised his eyes slightly and smiled gently.
It was an ordinary gesture, but in Long Tianhao's eyes, it seemed to be a provocation.
"I know. Don't worry, I'll protect myself."
Lin Mengya knew that Qinghu was most worried about her.
Although he was not a serious person, he was very careful when it came to her safety.
Qinghu nodded, glanced at the other two guys, and walked out of the tent.
When she turned around, she saw that Long Tianhao's face was full of anger.
"Your Highness?"
Lin Mengya called out, and there was some confusion in her eyes.
Was it because their plan did not go well, so Long Tianhao's face turned sour?
"Nothing. What did you ask Qinghu to do just now?"
Usually, Long Tianhao would not pry into other people's affairs.
He and Lin Mengya had a division of labor, and they minded their own business.
But for some reason, when he saw Qinghu and Lin Mengya being so close today, he could not help but feel a little unwilling.
It felt as if they had a little secret, and he was excluded from it.
Suddenly, Long Tianhao felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's not a big deal."
Lin Mengya did not think too much about it. After thinking for a while, she told him the whole story.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Yue Family."
After hearing it, Long Qinghan shook his head and said with a sigh.
"Also? Has there been such a precedent? "
Lin Mengya noticed that Long Qinghan's tone was not very surprised.
Long Tianhao and Long Qinghan looked at each other, and finally, Long Tianhao said,
"Yes, 13 years ago, there was a girl named Qinglian, who was favored by my father. Originally, she was just a singer in the Musical House, and then she was conferred the title of beauty. Unexpectedly, three years later, Beauty Lian's temperament suddenly changed. Soon after, she angered my father and was banished to the Cold Palace. "
It turned out that there was a precedent for this. Lin Mengya did not expect such a thing to happen in the Imperial Palace.
"Later, Beauty Lian hanged herself in the Cold Palace. However, he did not expect that three months later, a famous courtesan who looked exactly like Beauty Lian would appear in the Ruyun House in the capital. At that time, I heard from the people in the capital that the woman went crazy and told everyone that she used to be the Emperor's beauty. "
The beauties in the palace had been swapped and sent to the brothel to become the leading prostitutes.
Anyone who heard of this would find it inconceivable.
Moreover, the palace was heavily guarded. Not to mention that a beauty had been swapped, it was not a simple matter to send her out of the palace.
In that case, how did he do it?
"Could it be that the one who died in the Cold Palace didn't reveal any flaws?"
Lin Mengya didn't believe it. Even if they were identical twins, there would be subtle differences.
Temperament and temperament were also different. Perhaps the most unexpected thing was that such a thing could actually happen in the Imperial Palace.
"No, because the reason she was banished to the Cold Palace was because she scratched Father."
Long Qinghan shook his head. This was something that happened a long time ago. As for the swapping, it was just a guess from the people in the palace.
At that time, Long Tianhao and Long Qinghan were just teenagers.
Moreover, they had only heard about this kind of thing.
Lin Mengya's heart was filled with doubts, but a bold idea gradually took shape in her mind.
"There must be countless secrets in the Imperial Palace. Now, what we need to do is to catch the mastermind who hurt Elder Sister Yue Ting. "
Qinghu had already rushed to the Yue family's hometown to investigate, and she believed that there would be news soon.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to seek justice for Elder Sister Yue Ting.
"The news has spread. Since this morning, more than three groups of people have come to inquire about it. But these people seemed to have gone crazy and had many conflicts with the secret guards. "
Long Qinghan looked at Lin Mengya's face and a malicious smile appeared.
No wonder those people were so desperate. As long as they killed them, Lin Mengya would become the scapegoat in three days.
But unexpectedly, Lin Mengya was already prepared.
"It's not a good idea to drag on for three days. By then, even if they don't fall into chaos, we will suffer a great loss. "
Long Qinghan said helplessly. After all, no matter how good the secret guards were at martial arts, they would not be able to fend off waves of people.
Moreover, as the time approached, the attacks from those people would only become fiercer.
"In this case, why don't you come with me tonight, Your Highness?"
Lin Mengya turned to Long Tianhao and said with a playful smile on her face.
Although Long Tianhao did not know what she was going to do, he nodded subconsciously.
"Oh yes, are there any killers from Peach Blossom Dock among these groups of people?"
Lin Mengya suddenly remembered that Qinghu had mentioned that the killers from Peach Blossom Dock had gathered at the foot of Mount Lingju.
Moreover, the people who were locked in the tent were the killers from Peach Blossom Dock.
"Yes, there are indeed some. But they are mixed in with the people from other families. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have missed them. "
Long Qinghan nodded. For the past few days, he had been in charge of directing his men to transport the enemy's corpses.
Before handling the corpses, he had used the method that Lin Mengya had instructed him to check on the corpses. As a result, he had discovered many corpses.
"This is going to be difficult. If the killers from Peach Blossom Dock had mixed in with the other families, it would not be easy for us to find them."
Lin Mengya frowned slightly. Now she finally understood what it meant by 'before the first wave subsides, another wave rises'.
King Ming's matter had not been resolved, and she was completely unaware of the intentions of Peach Blossom Dock.
Who would have thought that such a small hunt would lead to so many things?
She was afraid that it would be difficult for Elder Sister Yue Ting. Moreover, she had not thought of how to comfort her elder brother.
"Are you still worried about Yue Ting's matter?"
Long Tianhao asked softly as they walked out of Long Qinghan's tent.
Lin Mengya nodded subconsciously. She lowered her eyes and sighed faintly as she replied, "I'm sorry.
"Yes, I don't know how to explain it to my elder brother."
Although she believed that her elder brother was not a superficial person, Elder Sister Yue Ting had been involved in that matter. It was over for her and her elder brother.
"Your elder brother won't blame you. I've already sent someone to contact the Mingyue Nunnery outside the capital city. Yue Ting can go there to recuperate."
In Dajin, a woman's reputation would be tarnished even if she had done something disgraceful, let alone losing her chastity.
Yue Ting would not be able to marry now. Even if she returned to the capital city, she would be crushed by the rumors.
"Is it the only way to preserve a woman's reputation and chastity if she had to spend the rest of her life with Buddha?"
Lin Mengya found it hard to understand that the woman who had been humiliated was the victim in this matter.
Did they not deserve everyone's sympathy and understanding? Why were these pitiful women the ones who had to bear the public's condemnation?
"I know you can't bear to let her go. However, if she returns to the capital city, even if you bring her to live in the prince's mansion. Given Yue Ting's temperament, do you think she would be able to endure being criticized by others? "
Long Tianhao's gaze was gentle, as if he could feel the pain in Lin Mengya's heart.
She was such a strong woman, but she was always troubled by the people she cared about.
For some unknown reason, Long Tianhao felt that this side of her was too adorable.
"If you feel lonely in the nunnery, we can buy a small courtyard for her so that she can live a quiet life. What do you think?"
Long Tianhao had never been so concerned about anyone. It was only because Yue Ting was Lin Mengya's good friend.
Although there was a worried smile on her face, Lin Mengya nodded her head and tried her best to make herself look less preoccupied.
In her heart, she still hoped that Elder Sister Yue Ting and her elder brother would end up together.
Now it seemed that it was going to be difficult.
Due to the successive incidents involving Yue Ting and Hu Lunan, the security in the campsite had increased significantly.
Many family members of the ministers who were on good terms with each other had gathered together.
After all, it was much safer when there were more people around.
Apart from Prince Yu's mansion, almost all the other families had gathered together in a small piece of open space.
For this reason, when Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao returned to their tents, they were surprised to find that the surroundings of Prince Yu's mansion had been intentionally cleared out.
Baiji, who had seen the two of them, drew the curtains.
The four maidservants and Lin Zhongyu had been accompanying Yue Ting in the tent all day long.
After greeting Lord Yue, Yue Qi had officially moved into the tent.
Since Mrs. Yue might be an imposter, Yue Qi might be in danger.
For this reason, Lord Yue had entrusted Yue Qi to Lin Mengya.
Elder Sister Yue Ting was still sleeping soundly on the bed. The imperial physicians had prescribed a lot of medicine, but to no avail.
Last night, Elder Sister Yue Ting had a fever for no reason. After a day, Elder Sister Yue Ting looked much thinner and weaker than when she first arrived.
"What happened? Has the fever not subsided? "
Lin Mengya asked. Yue Qi, who had been guarding by the bedside, shook her head and said, "Not yet.
The imperial physicians said that there might be some ulceration on the wound, and that's why the fever has not subsided. If we can't apply medicine directly to the wound, it will be useless no matter what medicine she takes. "
With the help of Baishao and the others, Yue Qi checked all over Elder Sister Yue Ting's body, but did not find any wound.
Lin Mengya bit her lip, because she had thought of something that no one else would have thought of.
