If it was really the old nanny's fault, the Empress would not be able to rest in peace if she knew.
Who would have thought that the person who had been by her side for decades and thought she was the closest to her would stab her in the back?
Although she did not sympathize with the Empress, she could not help but sigh.
"I'll send someone to verify this matter. Thank you for telling me this, Madam."
The lady sighed and shook her head with a bitter smile.
"I'm only doing all of this for peace of mind. If I really wanted to, I wouldn't have let the old woman and her family hide it from her for so long. "
As women, they had to listen to their parents at home. When they went out, they only had their husbands and children in their eyes.
Even friendship was just a bargaining chip. It was rare to see a little bit of sincerity left.
She looked at the lady in front of her carefully.
Although she was a wife and a mother, she had always been herself.
However, she had always been herself. She had never changed because of her title.
Such a person used to be out of her reach. Even in her dreams, she had never imagined such a life.
Now, it was right in front of her.
In the end, she was still unwilling to give up.
What Lin Mengya didn't know was that Madam, who felt sad about the death of the Empress, would be touched by her experience.
In the next decades, or even hundreds of years, she would still be the idol of women.
They would eventually become themselves.
After seeing off the sad lady, Lin Mengya received Cai Ru's report.
"There is indeed something wrong with the old nanny. After our people followed her, they found that she had contact with a saint who was in charge of purchasing. That person should be in charge of passing information to her. "
It was just as she had guessed.
The channel of information leakage was indeed in the most inconspicuous place.
But there was one thing she did not understand.
Not to mention Yu's cautiousness, his subordinates, including Baili Wuchen, Ling Ye, and Deputy Temple Leader Qin, would never let go of such an obvious position.
So how did the saint who was in charge of purchasing escape the investigation of these people?
Lin Mengya felt that it was a little strange.
That night, the person who was in charge of monitoring the saint reported that the person wanted to sneak away in the middle of the night.
Now that martial law had been imposed, that person naturally couldn't escape.
When they were taken to the dungeon, Lin Mengya came to interrogate them personally.
As soon as the man saw her, he cried out that he was innocent.
"Madam, please spare my life! This lowly one won't dare to do it again. This lowly one was blinded by greed and made a mistake. I hope that Madam can let this lowly one live. "
Lin Mengya asked, "Who sent you? What's the purpose? "
The saint replied with a trembling voice, "Madam, I, I just like to gamble, so I stole some things to sell. I don't understand what you're saying. "
Cai Ru glared at him.
"You're still not telling the truth at a time like this? I think you're courting death!"
The man was almost scared to death. With snot and tears running down his face, he cried, "What I said is the truth, Madam. I have a gambling problem. But as for the rest, even if this lowly one was given ten thousand guts, this lowly one would not dare to do it! "
Lin Mengya felt that this person didn't seem to be lying, so she asked, "Then why did you run away?"
The man looked at her face and then said hesitantly, "In the afternoon, an old woman came to me and told me that someone had reported me for embezzling money, so, so I …"
Sure enough, this was a diversion.
She wanted to divert the attention to this man so that her real purpose could be concealed.
Lin Mengya ordered someone to keep an eye on this man and then left the dungeon.
"Where else did she go other than in front of the Empress's coffin?"
Naturally, she was asking about the old woman's activities.
Cai Ru immediately answered, "More at the back of the mountain. She always said that she wanted to burn more joss paper for Her Highness, but the cave was too smoky. So, she always brought people to the back of the mountain to burn joss paper. "
Burning joss paper in the back of the mountain?
Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind.
"Let's go to the back of the mountain to have a look."
The Holy Hall was built according to the terrain of the mountain. Although the mountain behind it was steep, there were some places that were slightly flat.
Under normal circumstances, no one went to those places, and they were basically unguarded.
Firstly, the mountain structure of the Holy Hall was special, and it was almost impossible to climb up.
Secondly, the mountain rocks here were also very hard. They could neither be dug nor mined. Thus, they became the most solid shield.
Moreover, the old woman had always been very loyal to her master in front of everyone, so it was normal for her to go to the back of the mountain to worship.
The three of them quickly entered the back of the mountain under the cover of the night.
Lin Mengya quietly turned on the System's sensing function, and followed the smell of sandalwood, successfully finding the place where the old woman burned joss sticks.
Under the light, it was burnt black in front of her.
She squatted down and touched it, and it was still warm.
"She came to burn joss paper again today?"
Cai Ru nodded and added, "Should have come in the evening. I've sent people to follow her, but I didn't see her do anything else."
Lin Mengya looked around.
Other than the pile in front of her, there were a few other piles of black scorched earth.
After touching them one by one, she found that only three of them were warm, and the rest were cold.
It seemed that the old nanny had burned these three today.
"Ha, sending messages by smoke signal, that's a good move."
Cai Ru and Baisu, who were watching from the side, both had experience in the army, immediately reacted.
Baisu said coldly, "I'll catch her now."
"No need." Lin Mengya stopped her.
"The message that should be sent has been sent, even if we catch her, it's useless."
Using smoke to send messages, especially in the back of the mountain, must be something that they had agreed on before.
Today, the old nanny lit the three piles of cigarettes, which meant that their plan had been discovered by her, or perhaps they had been exposed.
Then, the other party would either speed up or stop immediately and destroy all the evidence.
Now it seemed that it was very likely to be the former.
Since the dog would do something desperate, it would save them a lot of trouble.
She glanced at the back of the mountain, and if the smoke drifted out from here, the visibility was not high.
Therefore, the person who sent the message should still be hiding in the Holy Hall.
It seemed that among the group of "guests", someone could not hold back anymore.
In the main hall of the Holy Hall, Long Tianhao also received the news.
"Your Highness, their message has been sent out."
Hearing this, Long Tianhao was not surprised at all.
"I see, you can leave."
Obviously, his capable wife had done something to force those people to expose their whereabouts.
With a smile, Long Tianhao got up and walked into the inner hall.
In the courtyard, all the secret guards were performing their duties.
When they saw that it was him, they quickly retreated.
Long Tianhao opened the door gently, only to see the warm light in the room, and his love was sitting on the soft couch, reading a book.
"Is everything okay in front?"
She was only wearing a thin inner garment, and there was only peace and tranquility on her beautiful face.
It had been more than five years since they got married.
But his love for her was growing day by day.
He walked over and picked her up.
Not surprisingly, she let out a small cry of surprise, and complained coquettishly.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to scare me to death? "
Being stared at by her watery eyes, Long Tianhao felt that all the tiredness of the day had disappeared.
He just wanted to hold her in his arms, not caring about the sun and moon outside.
Lin Mengya leaned on his chest, and told him what had happened today.
"Now everyone thinks that our house is too quiet, so they want to find you a concubine."
"I don't want it."
Long Tianhao rejected the idea without hesitation.
Except for his wife, he thought everyone was trouble.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and teased, "Little brother, you have a strong desire to live."
Long Tianhao felt a little helpless.
This girl clearly knew his mind, but she always used this as an excuse to joke with him.
Well, as long as his wife was happy, nothing else mattered.
"But I didn't expect that the people around her were the ones who killed the Empress."
Long Tianhao knew that she valued friendship.
Moreover, the people around her, whether they were from her family or brought out by her, were all loyal and devoted to her.
Therefore, she was the most touched.
"Could the illegitimate child you mentioned be the old nanny's grandson?"
Thinking about the age, it was very likely.
The Empress only had Murong Yan two years after she married the Emperor. During the two years before that, if the Emperor had acted quickly, he could have had an illegitimate child.
Thinking about how the Empress had been deceived for so long, Lin Mengya felt that it was not worth it.
Long Tianhao thought about it and said, "The Emperor protected him very well, otherwise the Empress wouldn't have been unaware of these people. I think he must have given his most powerful strength to that illegitimate child. "
Both husband and wife were smarter than ordinary people.
Some of the situations were sorted out between them, and they also had a general idea of the situation.
Lin Mengya thought about it for a while and said, "Once the Back Honored Master is dead, Murong Yan will no longer have any supporters. If we were to be blamed for this, it would mean that we have indirectly gotten rid of you, our biggest threat."
Long Tianhao touched her head and continued, "But the Emperor didn't know about it. According to the original plan, the Emperor should have threatened me and forced me to give up the control of the Divine Hall over the royal family."
She continued, "After that, the Emperor would return to Dragon City, and the illegitimate child would have a legitimate reason to inherit the throne and get everything. But now, something must have gone wrong. That's why the other party had to take the risk. "
Even to the extent that he had to get rid of the Emperor who was his shield.
Long Tianhao pressed her head into his arms.
"Let me handle the rest. Take a good rest. When the things here are almost settled, we'll go home. "
"Okay."
Lin Mengya closed her eyes and leaned her whole body into his arms.
In the candlelight, the two of them slept together.
There was nothing in this world that could ruin this moment of happiness.
