Compared with a group of people in similar clothes, the red robe with dragon and phoenix looked very luxurious.
Lin Mengya followed Concubine De and knelt down to salute.
Lin Mengya looked at the corner of the bright red dress and walked past her without any hesitation. Suddenly, she felt a little puzzled.
Why did the Empress always wear a very formal palace dress no matter what kind of occasion she attended?
"Well, you don't have to be so polite. Get up."
The Empress didn't say anything until she sat on the main seat.
None of the people kneeling on the ground dared to utter a single word of complaint.
Lin Mengya knew clearly that the Empress was giving Concubine De a show of strength.
No matter who held this banquet, no matter how glorious Concubine De was, she could only sit on the Empress's seat.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The Liuxin Courtyard was no longer lively. Everyone's heart was beating like a drum.
The Empress didn't come at the beginning of the banquet, but she suddenly came halfway. There must be a deep meaning behind it.
"I heard that this banquet was arranged by Princess Yu?"
The Empress looked around and must be very satisfied with everyone's respectful attitude. She didn't put on a serious face, but showed a faint smile.
"Your Highness, it was arranged by me. If there's anything inappropriate, please forgive me, Your Ladyship. "
In fact, Long Tianhao also invited the Empress and the Crown Prince, but they refused to condescend to come.
Now they came uninvited, which immediately made Lin Mengya feel alarmed.
"Inappropriate? I think it's appropriate. In all these years, this is the only time I find it interesting. "
The Empress's tone might be a compliment.
But Lin Mengya didn't think it was that simple. If it was just to compliment her, why did she come in person?
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. I don't deserve it."
The Empress's face was expressionless.
Maybe because the Empress was here, those madams and ladies also took off their masks.
The guessing game with masks became quiet again.
On the Crown Prince's face, there was a trace of a complacent smile.
"Mother, I feel that I'm a little uncomfortable in the female guest area. What do you think if I go to my third brother's courtyard? "
Lin Mengya's hatred for this pair of mother and son increased by several levels.
Everyone else was having fun and having fun here, but these two people had to use their status to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright, go ahead."
There was no happiness or complacency on the Queen's face.
It was as if she didn't care about what was happening in front of her.
Baiji served the Empress a cup of fragrant tea. The Empress just glanced at her, then gracefully sipped the tea.
Everyone felt that it was inappropriate to stand, but they didn't dare to sit either.
He stood there in a daze, his heart pounding like a drum.
If the Empress bore a grudge against them, it would be a disaster.
"What are you all standing here for? This empress finds it quite interesting to see all of you guessing riddles. You guys continue guessing, this empress will also join in the fun. "
After showing off her power, the Empress also spoke.
However, the female guests still stood where they were obediently, and no one dared to make a sound.
"Oh, I'm afraid I've scared you guys. No matter, this consort is also here to join in the fun. If I dampen everyone's spirits, wouldn't that be a sin? "
"Empress, you're exaggerating."
Concubine De immediately came to the rescue. She had been fighting with the Empress for many years, and she knew that the Empress's mind was the most difficult to guess.
She might as well do as the Empress wanted, and perhaps she could escape this disaster.
"Ya 'er, step down. I'll be fine here."
Concubine De pushed Lin Mengya away, with a determined look in her eyes.
She and the Empress were old enemies, and if Lin Mengya faced the Empress, she would inevitably be at a disadvantage.
If she came, at least with her status, the Empress wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
"Alright, mother, be careful."
Lin Mengya suddenly felt a little uneasy.
First, someone was allergic to medicine, and now the Empress and the Crown Prince were here. In any case, she felt that there was something unusual about this.
Concubine De nodded, composed herself, and went to meet the Empress.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, and decided to go to Qinwu Courtyard first.
Hiding in a corner, Lin Mengya saw that the situation in Qinwu Courtyard was similar to that in Liuxin Courtyard.
It was even worse. For some reason, the Crown Prince kept sneering at Long Tianhao.
He even reprimanded the people in the courtyard, both openly and discreetly.
This was the difference between the Crown Prince and the Empress. One only knew how to show off, while the other killed without spilling blood.
The only difference was that both of them were equally unlikeable.
"Come with me, lass."
Just when Lin Mengya was thinking hard about how to solve this problem, Qinghu suddenly grabbed her hand.
Without anyone noticing, Lin Mengya was brought to a woodshed in the backyard by Qinghu.
"Why did you bring me here?"
Lin Mengya asked in a low voice.
Qinghu gestured Lin Mengya to keep quiet, and the two of them hid in the dark.
Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide, looking at everything in front of her.
After a while, she saw a woman in a black cloak sneaking to the front of the woodshed.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes. Although it was a little dim, she could still recognize that the woman was Jiang Ruqin.
"Come out, I'm already here. What's the point of hiding?"
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. She thought that she and Qinghu had been discovered.
But before she could do anything, she saw another slender figure coming out of the woodshed.
"Miss Jiang, you're really straightforward. I won't beat around the bush with you. I've done what you asked me to do. I just don't know if you've arranged everything well, Miss Jiang. "
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. Judging from the woman's accent and tone, she was obviously Princess Ming Yue, who was known as the leading actress in the capital city.
It was said that King Ming was so furious because of her that he didn't even send anyone to attend this banquet.
Why did she appear here? Why was she hooking up with Jiang Ruqin?
"I thought the Empress and the Crown Prince wouldn't come. Don't worry, I've arranged everything. This time, that bitch won't be able to get away with it easily. "
Jiang Ruqin's tone was filled with a hint of ruthlessness and complacency.
Lin Mengya immediately understood why Jiang Ruqin had been deliberately showing weakness in front of her these days. It turned out that she was plotting to hurt her!
"That's good. Damn Lin Mengya, she ruined my future and made me a laughing stock. Now, it's not a waste of our efforts. "Ming Yue hated Lin Mengya to the core.
Ming Yue hated Lin Mengya to the core. From the moment she woke up and appeared in the Crown Prince's room, she knew that she had been set up.
If it wasn't for Lin Mengya, she would have been with Long Tianhao. Maybe she would have become Prince Yu's concubine now.
It was all Lin Mengya's fault! It was all Lin Mengya's fault!
"But there's one thing I'm curious about. You're already entangled with the Crown Prince. Even if you framed Lin Mengya, you can't become my cousin's wife. But why did you help me? "
Jiang Ruqin didn't seem to be that stupid.
But Ming Yue's answer was even more cunning.
"Although I can't become his concubine, I only hate Lin Mengya. As long as she's alive, I'll feel uneasy! You don't have to worry. I won't hurt you or Prince Yu. "
Nobody would believe Ming Yue's words. How could such a selfish and vicious woman be so kind?
Lin Mengya suppressed her desire to rush out and watched the two of them testing each other.
"Even if what you said makes sense, I can't believe you so easily. But remember, if you succeed, I'll kill Lin Mengya. It's fine to get rid of Lin Mengya, but if my cousin is involved, I will expose you. At that time, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Lin Mengya was so moved by Jiang Ruqin's intelligence that she almost cried. Couldn't she see that Ming Yue was trying to frame her?
With such a stupid teammate, it was hard for Ming Yue to think of ways to frame her.
But what on earth were they planning?
Lin Mengya hoped that this pair of wretched women would tell her all about their plan.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
The two of them whispered for a while and then left in a hurry.
It seemed that they were still on guard.
"Lass, do you want me to catch them and interrogate them about their plan?"
Qinghu's eyes were full of coldness.
These two b * tches were so bold to plot against his little lass. They must be tired of living.
"Don't act rashly. Now we still don't know what their plan is. Let's go back first. I have a feeling that they are inseparable from those who want to break into the Void Gate. "
Qinghu nodded and led Lin Mengya back to Liuxin Courtyard.
With Concubine De's mediation, the guessing game could go on smoothly.
Lin Mengya blended in with the crowd and didn't stand out.
When they returned to her room, the four maids were very nervous, but everything was very normal.
Even Lin Mengya started to doubt whether they had heard it wrongly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment. A loud noise attracted everyone's attention.
"Bad news, bad news! The evil ghost, the evil ghost wants to kill us! "
After a scream of horror, an old woman ran out of the wing room in a panic.
Lin Mengya rushed out of the room immediately, but asked the four maids to stay where they were.
"In such a chaotic time, it's hard to guarantee that no one will fish in troubled waters. Baisu, protect them!"
Baisu nodded. Under the worried eyes of the four maids, Lin Mengya mixed in the crowd and went to the wing room to find out what was going on.
After the old woman rushed out, she collapsed on the ground, and her face turned pale.
"There's a ghost in the room! There's an evil ghost! Madam, Madam, she was killed by an evil ghost! "
Lin Mengya knew something was wrong. When she was about to enter the room, a woman who had just entered the room screamed and rushed out.
