"Madam Chai, don't be so pessimistic. I think Miss Chai is not hopeless. "
She thought of something and said with a smile.
"Miss Gong, do you have any idea?"
Madam Chai was also in a desperate situation, she stared at her with wide eyes.
"In my opinion, Miss Chai must have been bewitched. If you want to help Miss Chai, you can tell me what you saw, so that I can help you, right? "
Lin Mengya whispered in Madam Chai's ear.
A lunatic had no sense of reason.
So, Miss Chai was not crazy.
She smiled at Madam Chai, telling her not to say anything.
Gong Wu didn't hear their conversation. He said goodbye to the housebreaker and took her to the next house.
But to Lin Mengya's surprise, they went to several houses and those people said they saw nothing.
It seemed that Miss Chai was not ordinary.
Just after lunch, great-grandfather sent someone to look for her.
He said that someone from the palace came and asked her to go back to greet him.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt the low pressure inside.
Both the Gong family and the servants stared at the hall angrily.
"Shang 'er, what's going on?"
Shang 'er, her close-fitting cotton-padded jacket, came to greet her with a little anger on her cute face.
"It's all His Highness Xi's fault! Miss, don't have anything to do with him in the future! He goes back on his words and has a foot on two boats. He's the scum of scums! "
She taught Shang 'er the word "scum".
She didn't expect that her man would use it today.
She raised her eyebrows and went into the outer hall. After taking off her cloak, she listened to Shang 'er talk about how the scum of the dragon became a scum.
It turned out that the person inside was a matchmaker sent by the emperor.
But she didn't expect that he was not only married to the Gong family.
Besides her, there was another girl who was going to marry His Highness Xi.
The Gong family couldn't bear to let their girl be wronged and was about to lose their temper.
If it weren't for great-grandfather and Gong Bin, it would be difficult for the eunuch to walk out of the Gong family safely.
But Lin Mengya wasn't angry. She just felt strange.
According to Long Tianhao's character, he shouldn't have done this. Then whose idea was it?
"Old Ancestor, the Eldest Miss is back."
The servant went in to report, and the eyes of the people in the hall also focused on the door.
A woman in a plain dress slowly walked in. Her appearance was exquisite, and the moment she walked in, it was as if she had brought in a ray of brilliant sunlight, lighting up the entire hall.
"Gong Ya greets great-grandfather. May I know why great-grandfather has called me here?"
Her attitude was natural and unrestrained. Even the eunuch who had served the emperor for thirty years could not find any fault with her.
"Old Mister Gong really has a good upbringing. No wonder our arrogant Highness Xi wouldn't marry anyone other than the Eldest Miss."
She was not unfamiliar with the feminine voice, but she did not know this person.
"May I know who this lord is?"
"Our Li Rong is only an old servant in the palace. He can't stand being addressed as' Your Excellency 'by Miss."
The eunuch was about fifty years old. His clothes were exquisite, but his face was pale and beardless. He did not look like a straightforward person.
Lin Mengya knew that she could not afford to offend these people, so she said with a smile.
"Eunuch is too polite. Great-grandfather, if there's nothing else, Gong Ya will take her leave."
"Wait, Miss Gong. Today, I came with an imperial edict. His Majesty values the Gong family and you. So, there are some things that I would like to ask Miss. "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. Why was he so polite? It was probably not a good thing.
The eunuch smiled brightly, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. He looked like an old chrysanthemum that had just bloomed.
"It's like this. Although our Highness Xi has a special liking for Miss Gong, His Highness has a high status after all. However, His Highness has a high status, so His Majesty hopes that His Highness Xi can marry another lady. Firstly, Miss Gong will have a partner in the future. Secondly, His Highness can have children earlier. The more children of the royal family, the better. "
The old eunuch was very smart. He knew to use the emperor to suppress her.
But was Lin Mengya that easy to deal with? The corners of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile that was as gentle as it could be.
"I'm sorry, eunuch. I don't agree."
Li Rong was stunned, as if he did not expect her to refuse.
Lin Mengya looked at his expression and laughed coldly in her heart. However, she put on a kind face.
"You didn't hear me clearly, right? I said no."
She said it word by word, her attitude was very firm.
Only then did Li Rong react. However, he sighed and said with a regretful tone.
"I also know that it must be a little difficult for Miss to accept it now. But Miss Gong, you have to know that His Highness Xi is not an ordinary man. He cannot stay by one person for the rest of his life. "
At this point, Lin Mengya felt that there was no need to beat around the bush anymore.
Li Rong was the emperor's servant. If he dared to say that, it meant that the emperor thought the same.
"That's right. His Highness Xi cannot stay by one person. Unfortunately, I, Gong Ya, am not an ordinary person. When you return, why don't you report to the emperor that even if I, Gong Ya, cannot marry in this lifetime, I will definitely not share a husband. Also, when you return, don't forget to tell the emperor. It doesn't matter if he doesn't marry me. When the time comes, his favorite nephew will have no descendants. Even if it is an imperial edict, it will be like a piece of waste paper to me. Forgive me for not being able to comply! "
She said these words domineeringly and left calmly.
Li Rong was so angry that his nose was crooked. He had been in this job for so many years, but he had never seen anyone who dared to talk back to the emperor.
The Gong family was also stunned, but no one stepped forward to apologize.
Instead, they stared at Li Rong like a tiger watching its prey, wishing that they could swallow him alive.
"Old Master Gong, your great-granddaughter's temper is really tough. Since we can't do our job, we naturally have to go back to receive punishment. However, the Gong family should discipline their daughter well! "
Gong Qianfeng looked at the eunuch with a gloomy face. Although Xiao Ya's behavior was a little presumptuous, he actually had no intention of stopping her.
"It is not your turn to speak to the people of the Gong family."
Second Master Gong had a nickname, so the group of eunuchs did not dare to go against him.
This was probably the first time in their careers that they had been kicked out of the game.
"Miss, they have all left."
Shang'er hurriedly went back and forth in the courtyard to report what happened next.
Lin Mengya nodded, but she did not panic at all.
"Miss, aren't you afraid?"
Shang'er was born in the royal family, so she naturally knew the unspoken rules.
Lin Mengya only asked her one question.
"Did you feel good just now?"
Shang'er thought for a moment, and then nodded secretly.
"Good, that's right. If we feel good, the emperor will not be happy. However, he will not blame me. "
"Why would he? Weren't you the one who chased that old eunuch away? "
"I chased him away, but I didn't ask him to come here. Just watch, someone is going to be in trouble. "
Her words were so confusing that Shang'er was a little confused.
But no matter how confused she was, she knew that what her mistress said could not be wrong.
As night fell, Long Tianhao was invited to the Imperial Palace.
He had been busy investigating the corpse all day. Originally, the emperor was considerate of his hard work, so he did not have to pay his respects.
He did not know why he was in such a hurry.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
In the imperial study, the emperor's face did not look good.
Long Tianhao did not understand, so it was not easy for him to speak.
The emperor stared at his favorite nephew, and after a while, he asked.
"Xi 'er, what on earth do you like about Gong Ya?"
Long Tianhao was stunned, but he could only answer when he saw the seriousness in the emperor's eyes.
"I like her as a person, including everything about her."
"Are you really going to marry no one but Gong Ya?"
"Yes."
"What if it's my order?"
Long Tianhao raised his head and looked at the emperor with determination.
"Even if it's your order, I will not obey it."
The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over. He swept the things on the imperial table to the ground.
"Xi 'er, you disappoint me so much! She is just a woman, why, why do you have to be so disobedient? "
There was deep disappointment in the emperor's tone.
But Long Tianhao still did not flinch, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this is your nephew's intention, and it will never change. Please, Your Majesty."
Seeing that he was so determined, the emperor was even more furious.
"You! You! Guards, lock Murong Xi in the palace, and don't let her go anywhere! "
The emperor was mad. Few people dared to disobey him like this.
Today, there were two of them.
Murong Xi was no longer the Murong Xi of the past. He stood there and stared at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to do, and I'm afraid I can't catch up with you. There are many things out there, and I hope you can understand. "
"Xi 'er, how dare you!"
The emperor slapped the imperial table and shouted.
Long Tianhao was also angered, but he stood there and showed no sign of yielding.
"What are you arguing about, uncle and nephew?"
Just when the two of them were in a deadlock, a gentle and graceful voice came from outside the door.
Then, the elegant Empress appeared in front of the two of them.
She glanced at the emperor and Murong Xi with her almond-shaped eyes.
She was a little surprised. How did they end up like this?
"Yan 'er, why are you here?"
The emperor still respected the Empress, and his expression softened when he saw her.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I'm here to deliver soup to you. I didn't expect to hear you two talking outside. Xi 'er, quickly apologize to your uncle. The relationship between uncle and nephew is like that between father and son. How did you end up in such a deadlock? "
The Empress was a smart person after all. She knew the temper of the uncle and nephew, and she also knew that the emperor's face could not be damaged.
"I did nothing wrong, why should I admit it?"
Who knew that Murong Xi would also become stubborn today.
