Led by Baiji and Baishao, they carefully searched the whole room.
They even searched under the bed. Of course, they found nothing.
Sitting behind the screen, Lin Mengya was leisurely drinking tea.
The imperial guards inadvertently showed a puzzled expression.
This was not right. This was completely different from the order given by the higher-ups!
"If you're done searching, please leave. My master needs to rest."
Baiji unceremoniously asked them to leave, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
It was said that when these imperial guards went to other people's tents, they would at most look around.
But when it came to Lin Mengya, they even had to catch a fly to see if it was male or female.
The head of the Imperial Army, who had been respectful and courteous a moment ago, looked at the shadowy screen. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Where haven't we searched? Excuse me, Your Highness."
The higher-ups meant that they would definitely get some clues from Princess Yu.
If he were to return empty-handed, he wouldn't be able to escape punishment.
He might as well be ruthless. In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound, in for a pound, in for a pound.
"How dare you!"
With a cold shout, Lin Mengya threw the blue and white porcelain cup out of the screen in the next second.
With a "bang", it broke into pieces.
In the tent, everyone fell silent. No one had ever seen her so angry.
"What do you mean by this? Do you think Prince Yu's Mansion is easy to bully? Or have you been instructed by someone to search my place for something before you're willing to do so? Who is the leader of the imperial guards in the camp? Come here and see me! "
Lin Mengya's words shocked the imperial guards in an instant.
Although they had received instructions from the higher-ups, they did not find anything until now.
Looking at the situation, Princess Yu was really angry.
However, these imperial guards were determined to make life difficult for Lin Mengya.
There was a hint of viciousness in their eyes. If they found evidence, Princess Yu would not be able to be arrogant anymore.
"The leader is protecting the Crown Prince. Your Highness, please excuse me!"
He signaled his men to surround them with a look. Baiji and Baishao were anxious, but they were separated by several burly men.
"Hmph, I see. Fine, I'll let you search for me today. If you can find anything, then it's fine. If you can't find anything, then your heads will be my apology. Xiaoyu, go outside and keep an eye on them. Recognize all these people for me. "
"Yes."
Behind the wide screen, a youth dressed in moon-white clothes walked out.
Although his face was still young and tender, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Like ice in the dead of winter, it was so cold that it made people's hearts tremble.
"Men, take the screen away."
With a wave of her hand, a servant came forward to take away the screen.
Standing in the corner, her androgynous face revealed a faint sneer.
It was as if their heads were already in someone else's pocket.
After the screen was taken away, the three women sitting inside attracted a lot of attention.
Yue Qi, who was the youngest among them, had a worried and indignant look on her face. She looked like a pretty girl, but she was still fuming with anger.
Yue Ting, whose face was pale, closed her eyes and rested on Yue Qi's body.
Beside them, there was a beautiful woman dressed in a purplish palace gown, but she had a calm expression on her face.
It was as if what happened outside had nothing to do with her.
Or maybe the person who asked for their heads to apologize just now was not her.
The woman held a book in her hand and didn't even raise her head to read the contents of the book.
"Please forgive us, Your Highness. We were just following orders. Please forgive us."
Was it too late to admit defeat now?
Lin Mengya did not even look up. She just treated them as air.
"Search and see if you can find what you want."
His slightly cold tone was definitely not as tranquil as it seemed on the surface.
The leader of the imperial guards gritted his teeth, and an evil intention arose in his heart.
If he really couldn't find anything, Princess Yu would not let him go.
"Search!"
With a wave of his hand, several men from the imperial guards began to search. Some opened the cabinets, and some pried open the carpet.
Half an hour later, the men still had nothing to gain.
Lin Mengya was still reading her book.
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on the man's forehead, but before he could wipe them off, he saw the woman who had been quietly reading her book look up.
"Have you found it?"
Her red lips opened slightly, and the words that came out of her mouth were like a sharp knife dipped in poison, piercing straight into the hearts of the men.
"Your Highness … we haven't found it for the time being."
He was full of confidence a moment ago, but now he regretted it.
At the thought of the death of the Second Prince of the western vassal state, he could not help but feel his heart beating fast.
"I've said, if you can't find it, leave your heads behind."
Her tone was soft, and there seemed to be no killing intent.
However, Lin Mengya's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Where were the imperial guards when Elder Sister Yue Ting was humiliated by that bastard?
Instead, the so-called Crown Prince had been assassinated, and yet they came to search her tent.
Seriously, I've lived like a dog.
"Please forgive us, Your Highness. We're just following orders. Please forgive us if we've offended you in any way."
The situation had changed. No matter how much Prince Yu and the Crown Prince disliked each other, what they did just now was a crime of contempt for the royal family.
Moreover, they had not found anything.
Now, they did not know how to end this.
"Go and invite the ministers and the prince here. I'm just a woman, and I don't have the final say. The few of you can stay here. "
Lin Mengya gave the order gently. Immediately, dozens of men dressed in the clothes of the prince's mansion surrounded the tent.
More than a dozen imperial guards, as well as those who were guarding outside, were all surrounded.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lin Kui strode in from outside, and did not even look at the imperial guards who were stunned on the spot.
The Princess Consort's foresight was miraculous. She had long prepared for this.
Lin Mengya went to invite those people in person. She closed the book in her hand, and took out a handkerchief embroidered with a rich peony from her sleeve.
"Prince Yu has arrived —"
"Lord Zhang has arrived —"
"Lord Li has arrived —"
"Lord Yue has arrived —"
...
One after another, five or six highly respected ministers arrived.
They were suddenly invited here, but they did not expect to find more than a dozen imperial guards in Princess Yu's tent.
As soon as Long Tianhao stepped into the tent, he saw Lin Mengya, and instantly his eyes turned red.
"Your Highness, you're finally back. My reputation was almost trampled by those shameless people."
Her delicate and sorrowful tone hid infinite grievances. The tears, which were like beads with broken strings, flowed down her fair face to her delicate chin.
She wiped her tears with the handkerchief, but the sorrow in her voice made people feel pity for her.
The nervous Imperial Army soldiers were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Princess Yu could change her attitude very quickly!
"What's going on? Why is the princess crying so miserably? "
Lord Yue and Princess Yu must have a special relationship, so he asked without any scruples.
Unexpectedly, Yue Qi carefully put her sister in Baizhi's arms, and ran to Lord Yue.
"Father, father, these people have gone too far. I'm still young, how can I bear it if the news gets out? "
These words could be said to have touched Lord Yue's reverse scale.
Yue Ting had become like this, and it seemed that she would not be able to live.
He did not expect that his little daughter would also be wronged. Did they really think that the Yue family was a pushover?
He comforted the little girl in his arms, and his face was full of coldness.
He turned around and looked directly at Lord Zhang, the minister of the Ministry of War, and said.
"Lord Zhang, it seems that you are the one who arranged the troops in this camp. Although the Yue family is poor, we can't let anyone humiliate us. You have to give me an explanation for this. "
Lord Zhang, who was just over 50 years old, suddenly looked sullen.
Lord Yue, who had been his colleague for decades, seemed to be really angry.
He swallowed his saliva and saw that Prince Yu was also standing beside Princess Yu with a livid face. It seemed that this matter could not end here.
"Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this. Men, take these troublesome fellows away! "
Lord Zhang's little daughter was one of the Crown Prince's concubines, so she knew that these people in front of her belonged to the Crown Prince.
But Lin Mengya turned around and looked at Long Tianhao sorrowfully.
"I thought that the royal family still ruled the world. I didn't expect that I, a princess, would be humiliated, and even the culprit would be protected. Your Highness, I'm disappointed! I'm afraid that the Crown Prince's assassination was a deliberate act. "
Lin Mengya's words were indeed a little harsh.
However, the Crown Prince was assassinated first, and the royal guards searched her tent later. It seemed that something had happened to all the members of the royal family overnight, big or small.
Lord Zhang was put in a difficult position by Lin Mengya's words.
If he took them away, he would be letting them be disrespectful to the royal family. If he didn't, he would not be able to explain to the Crown Prince that these people were on his side.
He looked around and found that they were all ministers on the Crown Prince's side.
Lord Yue was Yue Qi's biological father.
It seemed that these people were going to die in the hands of Princess Yu today.
He glanced at the dozens of people and made up his mind. They were just a few useless people. They would be a disaster sooner or later if he kept them.
"Guards, these people despise the royal family and disrespect Princess Yu. This is a heinous crime. Execute them on the spot!"
Unexpectedly, Lord Zhang had the courage to cut off his arm.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! We're just following orders. You said — ah — "
