The Queen raised her eyes slightly, and the pressure in her eyes was cold.
But for Lin Mengya, it was not much of a threat.
"You want to defy the imperial edict?"
"I dare not, but the edict hasn't been issued yet. I just want to advise you to think twice."
The Rear Reverend sneered. Both of them were well aware of the situation.
The royal family needed the financial and power support of the aristocratic families. At the same time, the aristocratic families also needed the royal family's recognition. Otherwise, they would not be able to do many things.
But to put it bluntly, once the rule of the Divine Hall completely collapsed, the royal family would be the most unstable force.
Therefore, she was confused by the Queen's eagerness.
Was the Queen not afraid that the aristocratic families would establish themselves as kings?
"You're smart, just like the previous masters of the Gong family. You always think that no one dares to make things difficult for the Gong family. Unfortunately, this empress doesn't believe in heresy. Men, seize her for this consort! "
The guards around her took a step closer. Baisu and Shang 'er also stared at them and firmly protected her behind them.
"Is Her Ladyship going to make things difficult for me?"
She kept a straight face, but she was very alert.
"Is the Crown Prince not worthy of your identity as the master of the Gong family? Gong Ya, I'm doing this for your own good. Some things are not as certain as you look. You'll thank me in the future. Invite Miss Gong to the Lin Shuixuan. You can rest there. I'll arrange other things. "
The Rear Honourable Being sat on the chair with a faint smile on his face.
But Lin Mengya had already cursed her countless times in her heart. But she still didn't know the Queen's background, so she couldn't act rashly.
"Baisu, no."
She pulled Baisu and stopped her in a low voice.
"If you want me to go, I'll comply. But Your Highness, the world is unpredictable. If I go today, I won't be able to come out so easily in the future. Take care, Your Highness. "
The Queen's face was a little gloomy because of her words.
"You're right. So, you'd better give up on other ideas and marry the Crown Prince."
The Queen waved her hand, and the guards stepped aside to make a way.
Baisu looked around warily at the guards, and finally followed Lin Mengya out.
Lin Shuixuan was a small courtyard on an island in the middle of a lake. Although there was a bridge, the water was not deep.
However, they were on the surface of the lake, and there was nothing around them that could be used as cover.
It was impossible to sneak in without alerting anyone.
The Empress probably locked her up here to prevent the possibility of Long Tianhao coming to rescue her.
"I am the chief eunuch of the palace, Gao Lian. If Miss Gong needs anything, you can send someone to look for me. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. "
She nodded and dismissed Steward Gao.
At the same time, she also declined the eunuchs and palace maids that Steward Gao arranged for her.
Being alone here, she could only trust Baisu and Yao 'er.
Returning to the courtyard, everything here could be considered comfortable. It seemed like the Rear Honored Being had planned this from the start.
She sat on the chair and unconsciously fell into deep thought.
What exactly was the problem?
"Young Miss, why do I feel that the Imperial Exalt seems to be too anxious? Moreover, didn't she always agree with you and His Highness before? "
San 'er brought a cup of tea and asked in a low voice, puzzled.
"I also feel that something is wrong. Even if she wants to turn against His Highness and me, there's no reason for her to do so, unless …"
"Unless what?"
Her expression was a little strange. She narrowed her eyes and pondered over the details.
"What the Imperial Exalt wants is nothing more than for her son to be safe and sound. The Crown Prince can't give birth to an heir, so it's almost a consensus among the three of them to pass the title to Long Tianhao. But if the Crown Prince has a way to cure his stubborn disease, then Yu will become their stumbling block, won't he? "
San 'er nodded. She understood this point.
He looked around and lowered his voice even more.
"Can the Crown Prince's stubborn disease be cured?"
She glanced at the girl and thought that this girl probably didn't know what the disease was.
She smiled and said.
"Theoretically, it can be cured. But in fact, the Crown Prince has no shortcomings in terms of male function, but … "
She leaned over to Shang'er's ear and whispered a few words to her.
The little girl immediately covered her ears as if she had been scalded. She blushed and looked at her sorrowfully.
"Miss, Miss, you're so bad!"
The girl blushed from head to toe.
Driver Lin, who had driven the car safely, grinned. San 'er immediately rushed out of the door, for fear that she would say something "too much" again.
"Master, what's wrong with San 'er?"
As soon as Baisu entered the door, she saw San 'er leaving in a hurry.
"Nothing, she's still young. By the way, how's the surrounding situation? "
"It's impregnable. Not only are there guards outside our courtyard, but there are also many hidden sentries. Master, if you want to escape, I'm afraid it'll be a little difficult. "
"Escape? Why should we escape?"
She looked at Baisu with a smile and looked a little relaxed. Baisu didn't understand why.
"The Imperial Exalt locked me up here just to plot against Yu. But how can the two of us be so easily plotted against by her? "
Although there were many things she didn't understand now.
But it was obvious that the Imperial Exalt wanted to plot against Long Tianhao.
But she still didn't know the attitude of the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
Moreover, she had a hunch that the Crown Prince might not agree with what the Imperial Exalt was doing.
Soon, the Crown Prince appeared in front of her.
"You can leave now. I have something to say to Miss Gong alone."
Murong Yan asked his servants to leave, leaving only him and Lin Mengya in the room. Then, he looked relieved.
"I know it's my mother who locked you up here. Don't worry, Xi and I will find a way to get you out."
Murong Yan looked serious and sincere. He didn't look like he was putting on an act.
She thought for a while and slowly opened her mouth.
"Your Highness, can you tell me why the Imperial Exalt did this all of a sudden?"
Murong Yan opened his mouth, but it turned into a bitter smile.
"I know that in your eyes, my mother went back on her words and tried to force you to marry me. But it's all a misunderstanding. She didn't mean to do this. It's all because … "
"It's all because some people said that they could cure the Crown Prince's chronic illness. So, my mother believed their nonsense."
Lin Mengya was pleasantly surprised when she heard the familiar voice.
She turned around and saw Long Tianhao, who was dressed in a guard's uniform, jumping in from the back window.
"Pfft!" Lin Mengya burst into laughter.
This fellow's skill at climbing the window was getting better and better each time.
"Why are you so late?"
Lin Mengya ran over and pretended to be cold and disdainful.
But the joy in her eyes couldn't lie.
"I was held up by something outside. Did she hit you?"
She smiled and shook her head. Long Tianhao was relieved.
"Didn't I ask you to wait outside? What nonsense! "
Murong Yan looked at his cousin helplessly and didn't know what to say.
"I can't rest assured if I don't see her with my own eyes. Stay here and I'll come to pick you up as soon as possible. Remember to be careful these few days. "
His words were worth the protection of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Lin Mengya nodded with a sweet smile. Then, as if she had just thought of something, she said hurriedly.
"Previously, Princess Chong Hua gave me an erotic book. I saw that it was sealed at the end of the book. I've cut it open, and the things written on it are really difficult to understand. If you have time when you go back, you can secretly find someone to translate this thing. The Queen sent Chonghua to you, so it must not be that simple. "
"Okay, I got it."
Murong Yan looked at the two of them and couldn't help feeling a little bitter.
Of course, he knew how much the Queen did this for him.
But after seeing what the Queen had done, he didn't feel very grateful. He just felt deeply helpless.
In the end, when would the Supreme Mother understand what he truly wanted?
"Your Highness, you seem to be proficient in several foreign languages. Why don't you ask him? "
The Crown Prince, who was called, was stunned. He just woke up from his deep thoughts and looked at the two of them blankly.
"Really? Your Highness, can you translate it for me? "
Murong Yan nodded at her and said a little embarrassedly.
"Previously, Mother did find a few teachers for me. Do you remember how those words were written? "
Of course, she remembered.
She immediately found a pen and paper and sketched it according to the things in the system.
Murong Yan took it and looked at it for a long time. His face grew darker.
"This is the language of Lu Country. Lu Country is a small country, but witchcraft is popular there. The words written on it are an evil spell. It's probably using the life of a child to pray for one to have a child. As for this sacrificed child, he would suffer unspeakably. At first, the child will be pricked 108 times with needles. Then, with a knife, the child's blood will be drained every three days. Finally, when the blood is gathered into the shape of a baby, the witchcraft will be considered a success. "
Lin Mengya frowned when she heard that.
How could there always be such evil people in this world?
"Could it be …"
"What did you think of?"
Long Tianhao saw that she was deep in thought and asked in a low voice.
"That day, Chonghua brought Xun 'er to have dinner with us. I smelled the smell of hemostatic medicine, but it was very faint and not enough for the wound. "
Long Tianhao understood what she meant and continued her words.
"But if the other party was a child and the wound was pricked by needles. Naturally, there wouldn't be too much hemostatic medicine. "
A frightening guess rose in her heart.
"Yu, go back now. Let Xun 'er stay away from Princess Chonghua without alerting the enemy. "
He nodded and turned to leave.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Murong Yan looked at them. It seemed that no one could intervene between the two of them.
