Although his mother lived in the Art Courtyard, there were many people there.
There was also Jiang Ruqin, who was malicious and covetous.
It was inevitable that there would be times of negligence.
Perhaps someone had taken advantage of the loophole.
Moreover, the biggest suspect was Jiang Ruqin, who had been trying to get into his bed all the time.
"You must investigate this matter carefully, but don't make it public."
"Yes."
Lin Kui turned and left, leaving Long Tianhao alone in the study, in a painful dilemma.
"Are you sure that Lin Kui can find the medicine?"
In the Liuxin Courtyard, Lin Mengya and Qinghu were playing five-in-a-row with the ivory chess pieces.
"Of course, I'm sure. I put it beside the stove. Even a blind man can see it."
Qinghu was very interested, but no matter how he moved, he could not get out of Lin Mengya's encirclement.
"That's good. Now it's time for him to worry."
Lin Mengya put down another chess piece, picked up the honey tea that Baizhi had cooled and took a big sip.
The feeling of hiding the credit and fame after tricking someone was so good that it was intoxicating.
"Oh, I lost again. Let's play again."
Qinghu focused all his attention on the chessboard.
Prince Yu's Mansion was going to be in chaos soon. His mother had drugged her son.
She kept putting women in her son's bed. This kind of thing was just like a program to popularize the law at midnight.
He and Lin Mengya just needed to watch the show.
It was better to leave all the trouble to poor Prince Yu.
"By the way, what are you going to do about Yunzhu?"
Qinghu grabbed the honey tea from Lin Mengya's hand unwillingly, took a big sip, and then asked.
"Deal with it? Let me ask you, did you already know? "
Lin Mengya said as she looked at the bowl of honey tea with pity. It was so sweet that a fly fell into it.
"I only know that the man who abandoned her is called Mr. Gusu. Do you know him?"
Qinghu drank the honey tea happily, thinking that the emotion in Lin Mengya's eyes was because she could not bear to part with the tea.
"Yes, I know him. He is my teacher."
Carelessly.
"Pfft — your teacher? Is he the old man with the unshaven beard? Impossible. Of course, Young Master Gusu was a famous romantic character in the capital. I've met him a few times before. How could it be that wretched old man? "
Qinghu looked incredulous. Lin Mengya thought that he had found the fly in the teacup.
"Who doesn't have a past? However, my only worry now was that Yunzhu refused to let go of the past. If that happened, she wouldn't be able to accept my teacher's treatment. Don't tell me we're just going to watch her die like this? "
Lin Mengya frowned. Her teacher had just sent a message to her.
Yun Zhu might not be able to hold on much longer. If the poison was allowed to take effect, she would definitely die.
Come to think of it, it was her fault. If she had not brought Yunzhu to her teacher so abruptly, she would not have been so agitated.
"Why don't you do it? Didn't that old man say that he's no match for you in terms of mechanics? "
Qinghu was not worried. He had seen Lin Mengya's ability.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and smiled helplessly. It seemed that this was the only way.
"His Highness has arrived!"
Steward Deng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The four maidservants who were playing with Snow and the baby tiger gathered around Lin Mengya at the same time. "Why are you in such a good mood to come here today, Your Highness?"
After what had happened that night, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao had become more estranged.
Her hand had almost recovered.
Now, there was no need to tie it with a piece of cloth.
It was a little cold today, so she wore a red lined jacket.
In this chilly autumn day, there was a touch of liveliness.
Her little face looked as fair as jade.
He knew that everyone in the Liuxin Courtyard blamed and resented him.
But today, he just wanted to see Lin Mengya.
Walking into the pavilion, Prince Yu, who was in high spirits, now looked a little haggard.
Lin Mengya sighed softly in her heart, but she still could not harden her heart to drive him away.
"You can all leave. Please take a seat, Your Highness."
The four maidservants were unwilling to leave, but under Lin Mengya's gaze, they obediently left.
"Qinghu, you can leave too. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Qinghu snorted coldly, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.
He only walked a few steps away, but his eyes were fixed on the two people in the pavilion.
"Your Highness, what's bothering you?"
She reached out her slender hand and poured a cup of tea.
Although her hand had recovered, the scar on her snow-white hand was still meandering and hideous.
"Is your hand better?"
Long Tianhao did not know where to start, but this was the first time he was at a loss in front of a woman.
"It's healed. Teacher said it's not a big deal, and the bones are not hurt."
The scar was meandering on her palm, and every time she clenched her fist, she would touch it.
What kind of girl would allow herself to have such a scar?
"I … I found something in my mother's courtyard."
Long Tianhao seemed to be reluctant to say it, but he still said it.
There was a bit of struggle and loneliness in his eyes, and there was no trace of Prince Yu.
"I don't know if it was my mother who did it."
In the past years, Concubine De had played a big role in his life.
If not for his mother's desperate protection, Long Tianhao would not be where he was now.
But why did his mother, who he valued the most, plot against him?
"Even a vicious tiger doesn't eat its own children."
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianhao's expression, and said what he wanted to hear the most.
It seemed that even a person like Long Tianhao was not immune.
To him, Concubine De was also the deepest fetter.
But Long Tianhao's eyes suddenly lit up.
It was as if he saw a supporter.
"You think so too, don't you?"
In a moment of desperation, Long Tianhao held Lin Mengya's hand and said anxiously.
Glancing at him, Lin Mengya wanted to tell him the truth, but she just nodded.
How could she break Long Tianhao's fantasy with her own hands?
"That must be the case. Imperial Mother was framed. The one who wanted to poison her must be someone else!"
He was like a drowning man grasping at the last life-saving straw.
Long Tianhao's eyes showed a trace of desire.
But behind the desire, there was a cold understanding.
In fact, he understood it all, but he was unwilling to believe it.
Lin Mengya suddenly felt that this was a little cruel to Long Tianhao.
But the Imperial Family was a place that hid and nurtured filth.
Elder Sister Yue Ting was also so cruel that she was deprived of the chance to be happy.
Lin Mengya held Long Tianhao's hand, but she still had to cruelly tear open the bloody truth.
"Teacher said that this kind of poison is only available in the palace. If you want to find out who did it, you have to start from the people in the palace. "
Her tone was gentle, but it was like a knife that cut Long Tianhao's heart.
His handsome face was as pale as the moon, and the bright light in his eyes seemed to have dimmed.
"Yes, the people in the palace … the people in the palace … only the people in the palace can have that poison."
Long Tianhao got up in a daze and walked out of Lin Mengya's small pavilion.
He kept repeating the words "the people in the palace".
Looking at the proud and aloof back, Lin Mengya covered her heart with her hand.
There, it hurt so much …
"Did you tell him?"
Qinghu came in, but his eyes were following behind Long Tianhao.
Lin Mengya nodded and put down her hand. That was a matter between mother and son, and it had nothing to do with her.
"It's good that you know, lest you have delusions in the future."
In Qinghu's world, not to mention this kind of thing.
Even mother and son killing each other were common.
He had seen the ugliness of others, so he did not think there was anything wrong.
"There is no love in the royal family. Many people have died in order to get the throne. Whether they are father and son, or brothers, they are just a thorn in the side. "
Lin Mengya closed her eyes tightly and calmed her heart.
When she opened her eyes again, she had recovered her calm look.
"Let's go and pay our respects to Concubine De."
Lin Mengya got up and tidied her white dress. It was time to spar with her mother-in-law.
"Alright, I'm going to change."
Qinghu walked into his room. Lin Mengya seemed to find something and shouted behind him.
"Eh? Where is the fly I kept in the honey tea? Look for it, it took me a lot of effort to catch it. "
Qinghu staggered and held on to the door frame. He looked at Lin Mengya, who was smiling, with a pale face.
"You wicked girl! Stop right there, I'm going to kill you! "
The atmosphere in the Art Courtyard was tense.
The servants didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
They walked quietly in the courtyard.
They did not even dare to greet each other when they saw each other. They only communicated with their eyes.
"You can't do it even if you drugged him. Do you want me to tie the prince up and put him on your bed? "
In the main room, Concubine De was trimming the branches in the flower pot.
Concubine De raised her eyebrows slightly, but no one could tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Aunt, I didn't want to do it, but … but my cousin refused to touch me. What could I do?"
Jiang Ruqin felt very depressed when she talked about this.
Although she was not married, there were many concubines in the family.
There were some things that she had a rough idea of.
But no matter what she did, her cousin refused to touch her.
Even after taking the drug, her cousin still pushed her away.
Up until now, her jade-like buttocks were still aching faintly.
She hated Lin Mengya even more. What kind of drug did that woman give her cousin? How could he still think about her in that situation!
