"Master, didn't you say that you wouldn't interfere in the Empress's affairs?"
Night had never disobeyed any of Long Tianhao's orders, but it was important to investigate the Empress's affairs.
If the power of the Green Sect was exposed too early, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Master.
Therefore, Night had to be cautious.
"I didn't interfere before because of the Empress. She still has a bottom line. But now, she dared to attack my mother. If I wait any longer, I'm afraid she will kill everyone around me. "
After regaining his senses, Long Tianhao increasingly felt that there was something fishy going on.
His mother was in the Empress's palace, so the Empress would inevitably have something on her.
Then, the two of them reached a deal, and this deal might be at the expense of Lin Mengya.
Otherwise, his mother would not have made things difficult for Lin Mengya as soon as she left the palace.
Therefore, he must find out what happened between his mother and the Empress!
"Master, you're right. But I heard that the Crown Prince seemed to be cultivating in seclusion in the mansion recently. The Empress also asked the Taoist priest in the royal Taoist temple to pray for blessings."
Night's words surprised Long Tianhao.
The Crown Prince's recent failures must have made the Empress angry.
Cultivating in seclusion was a good excuse, but Long Tianhao didn't know what the Empress was thinking.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Crown Prince's mansion."
Without the Empress's protection, the Crown Prince was just a straw bag.
Now, the game between him and the Empress had just begun.
"Lass, it's very lively in the courtyard tonight."
Qinghu was standing in the corridor, leaning against the window and chatting with Lin Mengya.
"I've made it so clear. It would be strange if he didn't do anything."
Inside the window, Lin Mengya was learning embroidery from Baiji. Every time she saw Baiji, she was so good at it. But when it came to her, the needle or the thread was like a wild horse out of control, and she couldn't do as she pleased.
But Lin Mengya still felt that this kind of thing could help her concentrate more.
"You're right. But, lass, many people have gathered in our Sanjue Hall. As the Hall Leader, shouldn't you go and have a look? "
She looked up at Qinghu, who was smiling.
That's right. It was time for her to show her face and reassure those restless people of the pugilistic world.
"Alright, I'll find some time in the next few days. Do as I say. "
That night at the Art Courtyard, Concubine De was so angry that she fell ill.
For several days in a row, she refused to see anyone, claiming that she was ill. Even Jiang Ruqin, who had always been arrogant, behaved herself for a few days.
The weather gradually turned cold.
Every courtyard was lit with fire dragons. Lin Mengya's small courtyard was filled with all kinds of beautiful flowers because of Lin Zhongyu and Qinghu's method.
The brown withered tree branches contrasted with the colorful flowers below. It was quite interesting.
Baiji, dressed in a light pink jacket, hurried to the main room of the Liuxin Courtyard.
Lifting the thick curtain, what greeted him was a burst of warmth with a faint aroma.
Baizhi and Baisu were sitting on the heated bed and playing five-in-a-row chess. Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu were in front of the desk, competing to draw Lin Mengya's portrait.
The only one who was really relaxed was Lin Mengya, who was sitting on the bed in front of the window, reading a book.
"Master, these are the taels of silver sent by my father. He said that we've made a lot of profit this month, but several pharmacies in the surrounding area have come to make trouble for us. "
Lin Mengya took the taels of silver from Baiji and smiled happily.
No matter what, this was the first pot of gold she had made in ancient times. Of course, she was very happy.
"I'm not afraid of them. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. By the way, did your parents keep their share? "
Baiji nodded with a smile. Even her father didn't expect that they could make a profit by giving away medicine and paying half price.
"It will be the Winter Solstice in a while. Have you prepared everything that needs to be prepared?"
Steward Deng made a list of the things to be prepared.
The maids were very meticulous and capable, so they had already prepared for this long ago.
They just had to wait for the Prince and the Princess to go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship the ancestors, and then they would make some preparations at home.
"Let's go. I'm in a good mood today. I'll take you out to have some fun."
They immediately put down what they were doing and escorted Lin Mengya out of the Prince's Mansion.
"Master, why is Baishao not here again?"
Baiji secretly asked when no one was paying attention.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, looked around and said,
"Maybe it's because the festival is coming and she's busy."
To be honest, she hadn't seen Baishao for a few days.
That girl was so busy that she didn't even see her.
"Let's get her a share of whatever we buy later."
Baiji nodded hesitantly. Although it was Master's order.
However, there was still a small knot in her heart.
She hoped that Baishao wouldn't do anything against her conscience.
A group of people went out of the Prince's Mansion. The atmosphere of the festival was coming. There were more and more people selling things on the street.
There was a charcoal stove in the spacious carriage, so it was very warm inside.
Through the window, she looked at the bustling crowd outside. She would rather stay in the carriage than be crowded with people outside.
"You go ahead. I'll read a book in the carriage."
Since the beginning of winter, she had become more and more tired.
She was either sleeping or lazing in the room every day. She was very afraid of the cold.
It must be because she had lived in the south, which was as warm as spring, for more than 20 years before she died.
Therefore, she was still not used to the climate of the Capital City with four distinct seasons.
"Sister, I'll stay here with you."
Under Lin Mengya's order, Qinghu pouted and went shopping with the three maids.
Therefore, Lin Zhongyu had a reason to stay with Lin Mengya.
"Okay, don't you feel bored?"
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at the handsome boy in front of her.
He was much taller and more handsome than he was when she first brought him into the mansion.
She touched his face with her delicate hands and gently pinched his skin, which was much more delicate than a girl's.
"Alas, you're going to charm many girls when you grow up. I don't know if the money I've saved for you is enough for you. "
Lin Zhongyu reluctantly pulled away Lin Mengya's hands, but he was a little worried because of her slightly cold hands.
Qinghu had told him that his sister's heart was damaged, so winter was the most difficult.
He warmed his sister's small hands with his big hands. A trace of fear came to him for no reason.
"Sister, will you leave me?"
Lin Mengya smiled and nodded.
"Sooner or later, you'll get married and start a family. I want to see you get married and have children, and then live a peaceful life. "
Recently, there had been a lot of quarrels in Lin Zhongyu's room.
Although they lowered their voices, Lin Mengya heard them a few times.
The little boy had grown up, but he stayed in her courtyard every day. Maybe she was holding him back.
However, she was worried every time she thought of Xin Li, the Young Master Rose.
What if … What if that deranged fellow really made a move? She didn't know if her Xiao Yu would be able to escape.
"I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to get married and start a family!"
Lin Zhongyu furrowed his brows and muttered.
"Fool, do you think you can stay with me for the rest of your life? Xiaoyu, I've never forced you to do anything. But I know you've been having a hard time recently, right? "
Lin Zhongyu was about to deny it, but he saw Lin Mengya's eyes had a look of understanding.
After all, he couldn't hide his affairs from his sister.
"I … they wanted me to go with them, but I refused, so …"
Lin Zhongyu lowered his head, for fear that his sister would scold him.
However, Lin Mengya frowned slightly. It was obvious that Xin Li had his eyes on Xiaoyu.
It was just that he was a little afraid and couldn't do anything now.
Although those people could protect Xiaoyu for a while, they couldn't protect him forever.
It seemed that she had to talk to the people behind Xiaoyu thoroughly.
"If they want to take you with them, they have to get my permission. Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. After a while, let me talk to them face to face, okay? "
The haze in Lin Zhongyu's eyes finally disappeared.
Since he met his sister, he had never met anything that she couldn't deal with.
He nodded heavily, hoping that his sister could persuade that stubborn old man.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Sitting in the carriage, Lin Zhongyu, who was relieved of a lot of pressure, was telling jokes to Lin Mengya to cheer her up.
The carriage stopped at a remote place, and the coachman went to relieve himself, so only Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu were left in the carriage.
"Hush, sister, someone is coming, and he's a martial artist."
Suddenly, Xiaoyu held up a finger to silence Lin Mengya.
The two of them, who had a strong sense of crisis, leaned against the corner of the carriage and tried not to make any sound.
"Woo … woo …"
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of struggling outside. Lin Mengya secretly opened a corner of the window.
Outside, there were a few burly men holding a child in their arms.
The child looked to be five or six years old, and was obviously frightened.
He was waving his hands and feet, and his big eyes were full of tears.
"They … they're from the Willow Gang! They took me back in the same way! "
Lin Zhongyu was furious. When enemies met, of course, they would be extraordinarily jealous.
At that moment, Xiaoyu rushed out before Lin Mengya could stop him.
"Be careful!"
Lin Mengya could only whisper to Xiaoyu. She saw that the little guy was very smart and chose the strong man with his back to him.
In the end, there was no suspense at all. Xiao Yu quickly and efficiently beat away those good-looking but useless fellows.
And the poor child was also brought back to Lin Mengya's carriage.
