At dawn, the servants who were responsible for delivering the news brought the news that the Lian Mansion had been broken into last night and then blown up with explosives.
Although the mansion was in a mess, and there was not a single intact beam left, Lin Mengya could not help but feel lucky.
Lin Mengya could not help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise the Lian family would be completely destroyed.
Perhaps it was because the family had been evacuated in time, and there were no casualties, or perhaps it was because Master Lian and Lian Sheng were not here.
In just one night, Lian Xing seemed to have suddenly grown up.
Everything was handled in an orderly manner.
Although he was still a little immature, he was a completely different person from the playful second son of the Second Young Master.
Dragon City was in a mess, and there were many problems left behind by the explosion.
Fortunately, the Emperor and the Empress did not only care about their own safety, but also sent officials to deal with the matter immediately.
Overall, the situation was considered stable.
Early in the morning, Lin Mengya quietly went out.
There were not many people on the street, and everyone looked in a hurry.
Lin Mengya dressed very simply, so that she would not attract too much attention.
Baisu did not follow her. After Lin Mengya made sure that there was no one around, she flashed into a crooked alley not far away.
After last night, there were very few people living here.
The city gate had been sealed immediately, but because it was very close to the scene of the explosion, the residents here had moved to live with their relatives a little further away.
Occasionally, there were one or two households that did not move away, but their doors were closed, and no one could hear them.
The surroundings were quiet, and the scene of the past could not be seen at all.
Lin Mengya walked to the door of a courtyard that was also closed, and gently knocked on the door.
Immediately, a small gap was opened inside.
After seeing that it was her, the door immediately opened, and she quickly flashed in.
"Eldest Miss, you're finally here. The Fourth Young Master was so worried. If you didn't come, I'm afraid he would have gone to find you himself! "
The one who spoke was Gong Ping, who had quietly stayed in the courtyard yesterday.
Yesterday, Gong Si happened to arrive in Dragon City.
However, he said that he had to meet his friends first, and he wanted to meet them at night, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.
The courtyard they were in now was the residence of Gong Si's friend.
Seeing that Gong Ya had finally appeared, Gong Si, who had been distracted since early in the morning, could finally heave a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his little sister was fine.
The owner of the courtyard was very considerate. This was the backyard of his house, and he probably didn't want to disturb the reunion of the siblings, so he didn't appear.
Gong Si immediately welcomed Lin Mengya in and carefully interrogated her. After making sure that she and Gong Wu were fine, his frown eased a little.
Lin Mengya also told him about her worries.
Gong Si thought for a moment, then said.
"Are you saying that the Emperor and the Empress will very likely put this matter on our heads?"
"It's hard to say." Lin Mengya shook her head. "I think it's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. I did help her last night, but the people who know about this are all her people. Even if they turn their backs on me, I won't care at all. "
Since ancient times, how could the royal family have any credibility to speak of?
Today, the Empress said that she was the savior, so she was loyal. But if she said that she was rebellious, then she would also be a traitor.
Lian Sheng could testify for himself, but the current situation of the Lian family might not be much better than theirs.
Therefore, Lin Mengya felt that it was tricky.
However, Gong Si didn't seem to be worried about this matter.
"You don't have to worry. I'm very sure that the Empress will not make things difficult for you. And if nothing unexpected happens, she should think of a way to win you over. "
Win her over?
Lin Mengya looked at Gong Si in confusion. Could it be that he knew something behind the scenes?
"Do you know who died this time?"
"It was too chaotic last night, so I didn't have time to look carefully, but there were more people from aristocratic families. At that time, there were not many commoners on that street. "
Gong Si looked at her and nodded.
"That's right. Most of those who died were clinging to the royal family or were on good terms with the royal family."
Gong Si's words suddenly made Lin Mengya understand something.
"If that's the case, the target of those crazy people wasn't the royal family, but to weaken their power?"
Gong Si hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly to agree with her.
"Could it be that this was done by the Three Kings?"
Based on the current situation, the Three Kings were the most likely culprits.
After all, once the royal family declined, the Three Kings would have a greater chance.
However, unexpectedly, Gong Si sighed.
"If it was the Three Kings, then things would be easier."
Not the Three Kings? The ten aristocratic families wouldn't do such a thing. After all, no matter how meticulous they were, once someone found out, they wouldn't be able to resist the revenge of the entire country.
Moreover, there were still the Three Kings under the royal family, so it wasn't worth it for them to do it.
Could it be that …
"That's right, it's very likely that it was done by the place that the people of Wei Country respected the most."
Lin Mengya saw that the corner of Gong Si's mouth was curled up into a cold smile.
She rarely saw her Fourth Brother smile like this. In front of her, although he wasn't as outgoing as Gong Wu, he was still a gentle and refined young man.
But now, she could clearly see the coldness in the smile at the corner of his mouth.
That was his deeply hidden killing intent!
"But, they don't have a reason to do so? Moreover, isn't the Crown Prince one of the candidates to be the next Temple Lord? "
Gong Si looked at her with a conflicted expression.
However, in the end, he couldn't resist Lin Mengya. He could only think for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
"Do you know why, for thousands of years, Wei Country has maintained such a situation?"
Lin Mengya shook her head. Actually, she also felt that it was a little strange.
After all, the situation of one Emperor and three Kings, if it was in other places, would have collapsed long ago.
How could there only be one Wei Country in such a vast territory?
She had a premonition that what her Fourth Brother was going to tell her was the deepest secret hidden under the surface of Wei Country.
"That might be because of the Temple. Although, I don't have conclusive evidence, but all these years, everything that I've investigated, is linked to the Temple. "
"What are you investigating?"
Gong Si stared at her, enunciating each and every word clearly.
"That is, why the Old Master personally sent his daughter to the training ground, and never allowed her to come back."
Didn't Grandmother leave by herself?
At this moment, Lin Mengya knew that from now on, many things that she already knew would have to change drastically.
"Ya 'er, don't think about anything now. You just need to lead the Gong Family to glory again. I will handle the other things. The Gong Family is the chip that we can use to turn the tables. "
Gong Si's words made Lin Mengya a little dazed.
But soon, she gave up the idea of asking.
This was a serious matter, and even Gong Si didn't know the reason behind it.
But she only needed to know that the Temple was the biggest danger.
"That makes sense. We only have the Gong Family. Even if we really have to go against the Temple in the future, only the Gong Family can be our strength."
"Yes, so this time, you have to seize the opportunity."
Gong Si was a little excited. He didn't expect that the thing that he had spent so much effort to do would be seized by Gong Ya.
"I understand."
Gong Si meant to take advantage of this opportunity to further the relationship between the royal family and the Gong Family.
But … Lin Mengya glanced at Gong Si and felt that this fourth brother was a little strange to her.
Lowering her head, Lin Mengya felt that this Gong Si was a little strange to her.
"Ya 'er, I … I don't want you to get involved in this kind of thing. But we have no other choice. "
She understood the bitterness in Gong Si's tone. Yes, their fate was destined from the moment they were born.
What was she still thinking about?
"I understand. Don't worry, I will seize this opportunity. I will not only make the Gong Family the first family, but also make the Gong Family a force that can fight against the Temple. "
Hearing this, Gong Si felt sad but also a little relieved.
He reached out and stroked her little head.
"It's not that simple. Our generation only needs to be safe. As for the Temple … we will hide if we can. "
Lin Mengya didn't say a word, and Gong Si took it as a yes.
After discussing for a while, Lin Mengya decided to go back the way she came.
But she didn't expect to meet another acquaintance on the way.
"Miss Gong, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Lin Mengya looked up and saw Qin Shuang in front of her, who looked a little haggard.
He must have been busy until now, otherwise his eyes wouldn't be red like a rabbit's.
And behind him, there were two guards in plain clothes.
She didn't expect that they would actually stop her here.
"Lord Qin, what are you doing?"
"A noble person wishes to see you. Please come with us."
Qin Shuang's tone was still very polite, and his attitude did seem to be to invite her, not to arrest her.
Of course, Lin Mengya knew who the "noble" he was talking about was.
She couldn't help but let out a sigh and said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Qin."
"Miss Gong, please."
Following behind the three of them, Lin Mengya sat in a horse carriage obediently.
The carriage shook, and she could see the surrounding scenery through the curtain.
Looking at the direction, it should be in the direction of the palace.
Although Gong Si had already analyzed it to her, Lin Mengya still couldn't completely rest assured.
After all, being in the king's company was like being with a tiger. The Temple could ignore the royal family, but she couldn't.
At least for now, the royal family could still control her little life.
The carriage went on for some time before stopping.
Through the window, she only saw a towering palace gate.
