His intuition told him not to ask what she was going to do when her eyes lit up.
Otherwise, something terrible would happen.
"That's good. I'll handle things here as soon as possible. As for the Emperor and the Empress, you don't have to take their words to heart. "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at him meaningfully.
From what he said, it seemed that he had the power to ignore the Emperor and the Empress.
Her heart was itching. She was really curious.
However, they had a tacit understanding.
This way of getting along, where no one knew the other's trump card, was really refreshing and exciting.
"Well, I'm afraid they'll be eager for me to leave soon. In fact, they just want to use me. "
As they were talking, Shang'er, who was guarding outside, knocked on the door and ran in.
"Miss, the Empress is here."
The Empress came at this time?
Subconsciously, Lin Mengya didn't want the Empress to find out that Long Tianhao was here.
"Hide first."
She pushed him into the inner room. Although Long Tianhao didn't care, he still obeyed.
Just as she hid him, the Empress and the others arrived.
She pretended that everything was normal and walked out indifferently.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Hmm."
The Empress didn't say anything. She looked at her, looked at her, and then looked elsewhere.
She felt a little strange, but she didn't say anything.
"I know you don't want to marry the Crown Prince. His Majesty wants to help you, and I also think that it's not sweet to force things. But Gong Ya, you should know that the Crown Prince is the rightful heir. As for Murong Xi. Yan 'er and His Majesty want to pass the throne to him, but that's in the future. Who can guarantee that the throne will fall into his hands? "
She understood the meaning of the Empress's words.
She looked down and said without hesitation.
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. But I'm stubborn and used to making trouble at home. I'm not good enough for the Crown Prince. You can find someone else, and I'll sincerely congratulate you. "
She knew that the Empress was resentful, so she kept a low profile.
The Empress glanced at her indifferently, as if she had accepted her kindness.
"Alright, if I force you to do this, it won't be a good thing for you and the Crown Prince. Forget it, I'll let this matter rest here. Today, I have come to see you out of the palace. Pack your things and come with me. "
Let her go?
She was a little hesitant. Moreover, even if the Empress wanted to release her, she could just send someone to pass the message. Why did she have to come here personally?
"Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble Your Highness to wait for me."
She bowed and returned to the inner room.
"Follow her out first, don't be afraid."
Long Tianhao lowered his voice and comforted her.
Lin Mengya nodded and immediately packed up some personal belongings, handing them over to Shang'er and Baisu.
"Alright, let's go."
The Houzun Lord didn't even look at him as he led his men out of the courtyard.
As soon as the three of them went out, a few guards followed behind them.
Qinghu was nowhere to be seen, and these guards looked unfamiliar.
It wasn't so much to protect them, but rather to prevent them from escaping.
The three of them exchanged glances and were on their guard.
The Houzun Lord didn't bring them to the usual entrance of the palace, but to the northwest corner of the palace.
She didn't know why, but on the way here, there wasn't even a shadow of a person.
In his heart, he was a little worried.
"Alright, you can leave the palace. Gong Ya, you're on your own from now on. "
The Houzun Lord stood in the darkness, the candlelight flickering, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
Baisu held her hand tightly, and Shang'er also stood in front of her.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Highness, but it's getting late. If I leave the palace at this time, I'm afraid it'll be a little inconvenient. "
The Houzun Lord's cold voice was tinged with a little impatience.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements outside, and someone will come to pick you up. When the time comes, I'll directly send you back to Murong Xi's mansion. Alright, hurry up and leave the palace, lest I change my mind. "
There must be something wrong with the Houzun Lord's initiative.
But now she was in a dilemma, and apart from Baisu, she had no other way to fight back.
Moreover, she had to protect Shang'er.
"Yes, Gong Ya will obey. Please take care, Your Highness. Gong Ya is leaving."
She bowed, turned around, and walked out of the palace gate with her people.
It was dark outside, but she heard the sound of horses' hooves on the ground.
Strangely, although the Houzun Lord had let her out, the guards who had been following her were not in the palace.
She turned her head and tried to speak calmly.
"Big Brother Imperial Guards, sorry for troubling you to make this trip. You guys, I'll see you off here. There must be more important things in the palace. "
Unexpectedly, a steel knife was placed on her neck.
"Don't talk nonsense, get in the carriage!"
"What are you doing?"
Baisu was anxious, and she shouted.
"Baisu!"
She stopped Baisu and turned to look at the guards.
"Can you tell me who wants to hurt me?"
"Get in the carriage."
Obviously, they didn't want to waste time talking to her.
Being held, she had to be obedient.
All three of them were stuffed into the carriage, and the carriage ran silently in the long night.
"Miss …"
Shang'er pulled her sleeve, and there was fear in his voice.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
She comforted him in a low voice, and at the same time, secretly turned on the Shen Nung system.
"Xiao Yao, analyze the route of the carriage, and draw a map."
She gave the order to Xiao Yao in her mind.
The system started working instantly, and it was not limited by sight at all.
Fortunately, when she first arrived at Dragon City, she had copied a detailed map into the system.
She was afraid of getting lost, but now it was very useful.
The carriage traveled for more than three hours, but according to the map, they were still not far from the palace.
Most of the people who could live here were either rich or noble.
The carriage finally stopped, and the coordinates of the system were confirmed at the same time.
But she had never seen the owner of this place.
She only knew that he was not sociable, and was average in everything, except that he came from a good family.
It was the Houzun Lord's mother's family!
She was full of doubts. What did the Houzun Lord want to do?
"Have you brought them?"
"Yes, there are three of them. They are all in the carriage."
The whispers outside did not escape her ears.
Soon, the door of the carriage was opened.
"Miss Gong, please get out of the carriage."
It was no longer dark outside. Her eyes, which were used to the dark, were not used to seeing light.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the person who came.
It was a very ordinary man's face, and he looked very much like the butler of a rich family.
"Who are you? And where is this place? Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble by tying me up here? "
The man laughed, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"Miss Gong, you must be joking. Actually, my master just wanted to invite you to stay for a few days. You don't have to worry. No one will hurt you here, please. "
She was not satisfied with the result of the initial test.
She wanted to continue asking, but suddenly a pair of big hands came in from outside, grabbed the hem of Shang'er's dress, and pulled her out of the carriage.
"What are you doing? Let go! "
Lin Mengya protected Shang'er and asked coldly.
"Why are you still putting on airs here? If you know what's good for you, get out of here, or you will suffer! "
The man, who looked like a butler, turned around and looked at his companions.
"Don't be impolite to Miss Gong. Miss Gong, please. My subordinates are all uncouth men. It would be bad if they hurt you. "
Baisu's eyes were full of anger, and Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat.
It seemed that they came with ill intentions.
"Alright, I can listen to you. But you'd better watch your hands and feet. Otherwise, none of us will end well. "
Without the disguise, her cold words made the butler frown slightly.
"Of course. Wang Wei, why aren't you apologizing to Miss Gong?"
Although the man was rude, he was obedient to the butler.
Not long after, his muffled voice of apology came from outside.
"I'm sorry."
"Miss Gong."
The smile returned to the butler's face. He looked at her and said again.
"Now, can you get out of the carriage?"
She looked at the butler, and finally got out of the carriage with Baisu and Shang'er.
There was a one-eyed burly man standing outside.
At this moment, he was looking at Shang'er maliciously.
The latter was so scared that she could only hide behind Baisu and Lin Mengya.
"You'd better tell your man to restrain himself. Otherwise, I'll blind his other eye."
"You b * tch, what did you say?"
The burly man clenched his fists angrily, but before he could hit her, Baisu rushed up and grabbed his neck.
Instantly, the guards around them pulled out their swords. The atmosphere was on the verge of exploding.
"Stop!"
The butler shouted, and his face was no longer as calm as before.
"Miss Gong, please don't misunderstand. We invited you over just to ask you for a favor, that's all. Wang Wei, go and receive your punishment! "
In the eyes of the butler, she was still the most important bargaining chip.
"Baisu, come back."
Just now, she only wanted to intimidate those people.
If they were to really fight, they would be at a disadvantage.
Baisu glared at the burly man in disgust, and turned back to her side.
A cold glint flashed across the butler's eyes, but he managed to restrain himself.
"Miss Gong, please come in."
She nodded and observed the surroundings calmly.
This should be the back door of the mansion.
Sure enough, the Rear Honored Master was up to no good.
Coming in from the backyard, she was soon taken to a guest room.
Along the way, she saw no one except the guards.
