She widened her eyes and looked at Elder Sister Hui.
When the other party saw this, he naturally knew that she understood what he meant.
"Yes, it's what you guessed. However, this kind of thing has never been made public. Therefore, except for a few people, no one else knows about it. Even Madam's family is just a guess. "
For a big family, the most important thing was naturally the heir.
However, Lin Mengya did not expect that the so-called Holy Temple had such rules.
'This is … unbelievable.'
"Since it's just a guess, although it hasn't been confirmed, there must be some signs, right?"
"Yes, but Madam is also dubious about this matter. Anyway, you must be careful this time. Don't let your guard down and be bullied. "
After all, it was still a guess.
Lin Mengya never thought that Aunt Lian's worry was unnecessary.
However, it was still hard to understand that the heir was used as a sacrifice.
Are those people crazy? For the sake of a Temple, they don't even want a successor.
Weren't they afraid that there would be no successor and the family business would fall into the hands of others?
When Lin Mengya came back from the Lian Family, she saw many soldiers running on the street.
"What's going on? Why is it so chaotic?"
She just asked casually, and the servants of the Lian Family immediately took someone to ask a few questions.
Then, they ran over to report to her.
"I heard that something happened to a snow field outside the city again. It's strange this year. Why do things happen to the snow fields one after another? Tsk, maybe it's an unlucky year. "
"Snow field? Which snow field?"
"The snow field in the western suburbs. It's said that many corpses were found there. They were all the young masters and ladies in the city. Their families couldn't stand it and insisted on going to the snow field to make trouble. They wanted Your Majesty to give them justice. "
Lin Mengya's heart sank when she heard this.
She just came back from there yesterday. Why did something happen now?
"Let's go and have a look."
Long Tianhao should also go. Although there wouldn't be any big trouble with him around, she was afraid that something would happen to the corpses.
The two of them rushed all the way and finally arrived at the snow field in the western suburbs.
At this time, it was already crowded outside.
Those people were shouting noisily and seemed to be very excited.
"You've done this to my son's corpse, you have to give us justice!"
The voices of the few people in the lead were very loud.
Lin Mengya could hear them clearly even though she was standing outside.
"Everyone! Please don't get too excited! His Highness Xi is already handling this matter, so please don't be impatient. "
Actually, everyone knew about the corpse in the snow field.
It was also because of the Emperor's orders that everything would be settled properly that the situation was temporarily suppressed.
But what no one knew was that more than half of these corpses had been lost.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and took Baisu to the other side of the snow field.
But this place was covered with snow. Lin Mengya had arrived half a day earlier and there were no paths.
"This way."
Suddenly, a person came out of the wall of snow, which made Lin Mengya and Baisu jump in fright.
"Didn't you guys want to go in? Hurry up!"
That person's words were very short and cold.
Lin Mengya took a closer look at him and realized that he was the man in the igloo whom she had met the other day.
He …
Forget it, let's go in first.
In fact, there was no light behind the snow wall. When they went in, it was like a tunnel.
But the man in front of her did not walk fast, and he would stop after a few steps, as if waiting for her to catch up.
This man was really strange.
"Brother, do you know what happened in the snow field?"
She asked politely, but she was also prepared to be rejected.
Unexpectedly, this time, the man was a little different from the last time.
"They knew that the corpses in the snow field were missing, so they wanted to come and see. His Highness Xi did not allow it, so they made trouble. In the end, someone made trouble, saying that the corpses in the snow field were dismembered and eaten by the slaves. That's why they wanted to rush in like crazy. "
Lin Mengya did not expect things to turn out this way.
The snow wall was very thick, and they walked for at least a few minutes before they came out.
After the man brought her out, he limped away.
Baisu wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.
It was obvious that this man did not want to have anything to do with this matter, but he wanted to help for some reason.
Since this was the case, they had better not disturb him.
"Let's go, let's go find him."
Since the man said so, it meant that Long Tianhao must be here.
But they could not go out.
They came out from the back of the snow field, and after walking for a while, they saw a snow cave that was heavily guarded.
"Who's there!"
The guard in charge of guarding heard the noise and turned around with a knife.
Lin Mengya immediately said in a low voice.
"It's me, don't be nervous!"
But the guard did not know her, but fortunately, there were a few of them who had come with Long Tianhao yesterday.
When they knew that this lady had a close relationship with His Highness, they immediately stopped their companions.
"Don't be rude, Miss. Are you here to see His Highness?"
Hearing his companion's words, the guard stopped holding his knife and looked at them with a murderous look.
Baisu also stopped being defensive. Lin Mengya immediately asked.
"I heard about what happened outside. What's the situation now? Where is His Highness? "
The guard did not dare to neglect her, and immediately let her in.
It seemed that there were one more people in the snow cave than yesterday.
But they did not dare to light too much fire. After all, it was snowing here, and it would be terrible if the fire was lit.
Long Tianhao was standing there with a serious look on his face. The guards around him also looked a little nervous.
"Your Highness."
She called him, and Long Tianhao immediately turned around and looked at her in surprise.
"Why are you here? Did those people outside make things difficult for you? "
Lin Mengya immediately shook her head, but she did not tell him that the man had guided her here.
"It's very dangerous here. I'll ask someone to send you back."
The situation was urgent, and Long Tianhao did not want her to encounter too much danger.
But Lin Mengya shook her head. In this case, she could not leave him alone.
"Don't worry about me. You'd better think about how to get through the current crisis. Why is the smell different from the other day? "
The air was filled with a smell that was not unpleasant.
It was a little hard to describe, and it was not poisonous, but more like the gas that evaporated from something.
Long Tianhao thought for a while, and then let her into the cave.
What he didn't expect was that the frozen corpses yesterday had all turned into cocoons today!
What … what was going on?
"I don't know what's going on. It became like this overnight."
Long Tianhao frowned and looked a little annoyed.
But Lin Mengya was very surprised, and she walked to the 'cocoon' in a few steps.
This cocoon was transparent!
She reached out and touched it. It was still a little soft and moist, probably because it was not dry yet.
She crooked her finger hard, and it was very tough.
"Can you cut it with a knife?"
"No! We've tried before, but no matter if it's a sword or fire, we can't break it. "
The people beside Long Tianhao said helplessly. If it was so easy, they would not be so anxious.
Indeed, in this situation, if they took it out, people would only find these abnormalities.
But it was so fierce outside, and they were afraid that it would not be easy to deal with.
"You go and calm the people outside first. Leave this to me."
Although Murong Xi was powerful, there was a saying that a tiger could not fight against a pack of wolves.
Those people must have been provoked and deliberately made trouble.
Lin Mengya thought it was better to deal with both sides at the same time.
"Can you do it here?"
Long Tianhao looked at her and asked softly.
Although the situation outside was critical, it could not withstand the strangeness here.
Lin Mengya smiled and said softly.
"I'm more familiar with this kind of thing than you. Well, don't worry about me. You go first. I'll inform you if there's any progress. "
Although the man was worried, Lin Mengya still drove him away.
Long Tianhao left a lot of people behind, and Lin Mengya was actually confused.
Although the cocoon silk was very flexible, because it was transparent, it was actually very thin.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, and she first pulled out a part of it to see how thin it was.
However, what made her feel a little hopeless was that she couldn't even open a strand of hair that was thinner than a strand of hair.
Why was this thing more difficult to open than steel wire?
"Master, be careful!"
Baisu let out a small cry. Lin Mengya didn't notice it, but her hand was cut by that thin thing.
Beads of dark red blood mixed with faint purple appeared and fell on the white silk in an instant.
Unexpectedly, the white strands melted away as if they were burned by fire.
What was going on?
"Master, this …"
Baisu exclaimed in a low voice. Lin Mengya thought for a while, squeezed out a little more blood, and dripped it on the human cocoon.
In an instant, the upper body of the cocoon was exposed.
But what Lin Mengya saw was a very strange scene.
The cocoon silk did not melt, nor did it fall.
Instead, it returned to the body as if it were alive.
Lin Mengya stared at the corpse without blinking. Could it be that the silk was a living thing?
Without thinking too much, she dripped a few more drops of blood and the body in front of her turned back to its original appearance.
"Miss, how did you do this?"
Because of Long Tianhao's order, these guards did not dare to come forward.
Unknowingly, this had helped her a little.
In other words, no one had seen the so-called miracles in front of her.
Lin Mengya smiled and said nothing.
