Qinghu let Lin Mengya lean on his shoulder. Only then did Qinghu temporarily put away his fierce look.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
With the help of Baishao and Baizhi, Lin Mengya took off her clothes which were stained with blood.
"Madam Wang …"
Baiji looked at Madam Wang worriedly, although the wound on her stomach had been stitched up.
But now, Madam Wang was not breathing. The Deathlike Elixir she had taken was still working.
They could not tell if she was really dead or not.
"It depends on her luck."
If she could come back to life, Madam Wang would be blessed after surviving a disaster.
But now, she was the one who should be worried.
"Don't say anything when we go out later. I'll settle everything."
Madam Wang fainted and was controlled by someone to look like a ghost.
It was obvious that she was the target.
Now, Lin Mengya finally understood why the Queen and the Crown Prince came at this time.
It was indeed a good plan. Whether Madam Wang was dead or alive, she, as the hostess, would not be able to escape the blame.
Qinghu's nagging was indeed effective.
Although the people outside were curious, they did not dare to come close.
Lin Mengya tidied up her clothes and pretended to be weak. Two maidservants helped her out of the door.
She glanced around and found that everyone in the courtyard was staring at her.
She lowered her eyes and was supported by a maidservant to Concubine De. Then, she knelt down.
"Your Highness, Mother, Madam Wang has passed away."
Lin Mengya's voice was trembling and soft, as if all her strength had been drained.
She looked as if she had been scared out of her wits, which made people feel sorry for her.
Concubine De frowned. She did not expect that a chrysanthemum viewing party would cause such a disaster.
How was she going to explain it to Wang Hanlin?
"It's hard for a person to live in that state. But I don't understand. Madam Wang looked like a ghost just now. Is it true that Prince Yu's Mansion is haunted? "
The Queen's tone gradually became cold. She stared at Lin Mengya with a pair of sharp eyes.
"This matter still needs to be investigated. However, Madam Wang did not die from the power of ghosts or gods. I feel that Madam Wang was harmed by someone. "
Although Lin Mengya's tone was gentle, it was very firm.
Qinghu had talked to her about the situation. The reason why Madam Wang could still walk like a zombie was that her limbs were bound by extremely fine silk.
It was like a marionette, but when someone rushed over, the silk would automatically disappear.
But with Qinghu's eyesight, he would never be wrong.
Lin Mengya also diagnosed that Madame Wang's blood contained a high concentration of a poison called Zombie Grass.
The so-called Zombie Grass, if consumed in this amount, would cause one's limbs to stiffen like a zombie.
If it wasn't for Madam Wang's instinctive desire to live that drove her to send out a signal for help, Madam Wang would have died.
He was afraid that by now, he had already been treated as a ghost and disposed of.
However, she had no evidence to back up these claims.
If he said it out loud, he would be accused of shirking his responsibility, and that would not be good.
It was better for her to observe the changes and counter every move!
"Ah, look, what's that?"
Someone in the crowd suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the voice.
An old maid who was closest to the crowd suddenly rushed into the flowering shrubs and pulled something out from the ground.
"What's that? Let me have a look. "
No one dared to act rashly in the presence of the Queen.
The old maid looked hesitant, but she still put it in her handkerchief and presented it to the Queen.
It seemed to be a small paper package, which was placed on the table in front of the Queen, so that everyone could see it clearly.
The palace maid beside the Queen immediately opened the small paper package in front of everyone.
They saw a white sharp tooth wrapped in the red paper package.
"This is …"
Concubine De's face turned pale at once, and her eyes, which looked at Lin Mengya, were filled with panic for the first time.
There seemed to be some words written on the paper that wrapped the white sharp tooth.
Just when Lin Mengya was about to take a closer look, she heard the Queen's angry threat.
"Guards! Take Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya down! They must be punished for plotting against the royal family! "
Everyone was stunned by this crime, including Lin Mengya and Concubine De.
It was just a sharp tooth. How could it be considered as plotting against the royal family?
"Wait, Your Highness, this is just a guess. Yu 'er and Mengya have always respected the Crown Prince, and they would never do such a disobedient thing! "
Concubine De immediately knelt in front of the Queen and said earnestly.
"They wouldn't? Look carefully, this is the Crown Prince's birth date! If they didn't have a plot, why would they wrap the sharp tooth in red paper and bury it in the soil? Concubine De, don't forget what happened to Concubine Rong! "
Concubine Rong? Lin Mengya's heart was filled with doubts.
However, when she saw that Concubine De's face became paler, she immediately guessed most of it.
Since ancient times, the birth date and the eight characters were extremely important to a person.
Normally, the birth date and the eight characters of the royal family were recorded in a special file, and then sealed in a brocade box.
However, it was not a small matter for a concubine to give birth to a child.
If someone wanted to find out more about it, it wasn't like there was no way around it.
"No, Yu 'er and Mengya are good children. They wouldn't plot against the Crown Prince, please understand, Your Highness. "
Concubine De rarely bowed in front of the Queen. Even if the two of them fought fiercely, Concubine De still had her own pride.
However, for the sake of her son and daughter-in-law, she had to bow in front of the Queen for the first time.
"You feel sorry for your son, but don't I feel sorry for my son?"
The Queen was very angry, and her face was livid.
Since ancient times, the technique of hatred had caused countless bloodshed in the palace.
Since the Emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Rong had used the Fox Fairy Seduction Technique to win the Emperor's favor.
Unfortunately, she failed in the end, and was killed by the Empress Dowager. Her whole family was sent to exile.
This had become a taboo in the palace, and no one would talk about it easily.
"Your Highness the Empress, it's not difficult to kill me if you want to. However, you have to listen to my explanation first."
Lin Mengya was surrounded by the Queen's bodyguards.
However, Baisu and Qinghu had surrounded her in the innermost circle.
Even if a fight really broke out, she could still fight back.
However, that would only prove that she was disobedient and wanted to frame the Queen.
He stood up calmly, without the slightest bit of panic that a person involved in the case should have.
However, very few people knew that her palms were already covered with cold sweat.
"Oh? Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say, Your Highness? "
The Queen snorted coldly, and her face was gloomy.
"Your Highness, although this thing was found in my garden, it doesn't necessarily belong to me."
At this point, Lin Mengya could only try her best to explain.
"It doesn't belong to you? How can you deny it in front of everyone? "
Lin Mengya stood up slowly. Just now, she looked like she was about to fall, but now she immediately changed her temperament.
She was not afraid of the Queen's cold eyes, nor did she care that the bodyguards around her were looking at her covetously.
She only knew that if the Queen framed her, she, Long Tianhao, and the Lin family would be completely finished.
"If it's in my yard, it belongs to me. In that case, wouldn't everyone here have to take off their hairpins and jade pendants before they can walk out? "
Lin Mengya's words seemed absurd and unreasonable, but in fact, she was criticizing the Queen's words.
She twisted the Queen's thinking and made use of it.
After Lin Mengya finished her words, many people's faces broke into a smile.
The Queen glanced at those people coldly, but did not say anything.
Lin Mengya knew that it was not easy to lead the Queen by the nose.
She picked up the small fang from the Queen's table with her snow-white slender hand.
She quickly listed some matching species in her mind. It seemed to be a canine fang.
She picked up the paper and looked at it carefully.
There was tribute in the cinnabar, so when she touched it, the radar in her mind automatically analyzed it.
She turned the paper up and down, and it was just the most common yellow paper.
Immediately, she knew what was going on.
"Your Highness, I was framed. The evidence is this piece of paper."
Lin Mengya's words made everyone slightly surprised.
The Empress still had a cold expression on her face, and her eyes were even colder than before.
"This paper is the most common yellow paper. Please take a look."
Lin Mengya reached out her fingers and took a cup of cold tea on the table.
She only dipped her fingers in the tea, but she could poke through the soft paper.
Concubine De did not know what she meant, and most of the people in the crowd did not understand what she was doing.
Only the pair of eyes standing at the door immediately understood what she was going to do.
What a smart girl! Long Tianhao's heart, which was hanging in suspense, gradually relaxed.
He was no longer in a hurry, but stood at the door, looking at Lin Mengya, who was the focus of attention.
"Hmph, what kind of evidence is this? Don't tell me that I can escape punishment just by poking a hole in the yellow paper? "
Ming Yue suddenly appeared beside the Queen.
Looking at Lin Mengya's behavior, she could not help but snort.
"Princess Ming Yue, you're so lively. You go wherever there is trouble."
Lin Mengya mercilessly said. If she did not understand now, she might as well die of stupidity.
But now, what she needed most was to completely get rid of this crime.
