"Dad, everything my brother has done is because of me. So, please don't blame him. "
Lin Nansheng had been injured to protect her since he was a child. Even this time, it was because he wanted to stand up for her that he took the risk out of desperation. Lin Mengya knew that her father, Lin Muzhi, had protected her brother. But it didn't mean that he wouldn't punish her brother.
"Ya, I know you want to plead for your brother. But have you ever thought that what your brother did today might destroy the entire Lin family? My death is not to be regretted, but what about the rest of the Lin family? Don't tell me we're all going to die because of this reckless action? "
Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng lowered their heads at their father's words. Looking at the pair of equally outstanding children, Li Muzhi suddenly sighed and said, "I'm sorry.
"The Fifth Prince tried to kill your sister, which is a big crime. What's more, you burned down Zhaohe Hall and tried to push the blame onto the Fifth Prince. But it doesn't matter if the Fifth Prince is disabled. What matters is that the Chen family will be destroyed. "
Lin Muzhi said exasperatedly. These two kids were smart, but they didn't know how to look at the big picture.
They didn't know that the winner of this battle was the Shangguan family, who had been eyeing the Chen family for a long time.
"Dad, didn't you say that it's a good thing that the Chen family and the Shangguan family are in collusion with each other? The Shangguan family will have one less pawn. "
Lin Nansheng didn't understand and asked. Lin Mengya thought for a while and her face suddenly changed. She had made a wrong move after all.
"Ya seems to have figured it out. Tell your brother, what do you think?" Lin Muzhi shook his head. Nansheng was brave and good at war. But he had made a wrong move in scheming.
Ya was different. She didn't know martial arts, but she was very smart, which was the complete opposite of Nansheng.
"Dad, what you mean is that the Chen family and the Shangguan family are in the same boat, but they keep each other in check. The Chen family has some military power, so they can protect the Fifth Prince's life. But now, the Fifth Prince has made a big mistake. If they wanted him to live, they would have to use their military power to exchange for his life. As such. Not only will the Chen family lose its power, but it will also be swallowed up by the Shangguan family. "
Lin Muzhi nodded. Little Ya was smart enough to understand immediately.
"Moreover, the Shangguan Family and the Chen Family have done a lot of evil in the past few years. If the Chen Family were to fall now, who do you think will bear the responsibility? "
Lin Muzhi's words made both of them fall into complete silence.
Because his father was right. If the Chen family was completely destroyed, the Chen family would not be able to survive. It was definitely the Shangguan Family who were so pleased with themselves. In this way, not only would the Chen Family be controlled by the Shangguan Family, but they would also become the Shangguan Family's scapegoat!
In order to protect their children, the Chen family would definitely not dare to fight the Shangguan family to the end. However, in that case, the Shangguan Family would have a chance to clear their name.
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. Her father was right. The Empress did win this time.
But the people of the Chen family hated him.
"Ya 'er, you've met the two princes, haven't you? They are my best friends. Even without the incident at Zhaohe Palace, the Fifth Prince would still be in trouble. As a father, I will never allow outsiders to bully my daughter. Do you understand? "
Lin Mengya nodded. Her father had taught her and her brother a good lesson today. He told them what it meant to be an experienced schemer and to have control of the whole situation.
"Father, I'm wrong. I've let you down."
At this moment, Lin Mengya was really convinced. Although her and her brother's moves were dangerous and ruthless, they were one-on-one fights. It was thanks to her father's plan and Long Tianhao's quick reaction that they were able to cooperate so well.
But if her father's plan had been carried out, King Chongshan and King Lishan would not have killed the Fifth Prince. But as the official mother, the Empress would not be able to escape the blame.
In the end, of course, the Fifth Prince would be punished. Even if the Chen Family had to hand over the military power, it would not fall into the hands of the Shangguan Family. Moreover, it was a blow to the Empress.
This was the best ending for them.
But she and her brother had ruined this good game of chess. Her father and the two princes were in a very passive position.
"I understand. It's my fault. Father, please punish me!"
Lin Nansheng was no longer stubborn. His father had once told him on the battlefield. Only by looking at the big picture could he ensure that nothing would go wrong. Moreover, every time his father came up with a battle plan, he would at least try to predict the various reactions of the opponents. What was more amazing was that he had never failed.
Only now did he realize that it was not because his father was lucky, nor was it because he was good at scheming. It was because his father understood the whole situation too well and was able to observe and understand the various forces in detail. That was why he could come up with such a detailed battle plan.
"It's good that you know. In fact, although it was a dangerous move, it was still a good move."
Lin Muzhi had never intended to blame his son. He just wanted to use this incident to teach his son a small lesson. In the future, he would be able to develop further if he was not arrogant and rash.
"What do you mean?" Lin Nansheng was very anxious. Even Lin Mengya couldn't figure out what kind of plan her father had used to turn this bad thing into a miracle and turn the unfavorable situation around.
"The fire in Zhaohe Hall will eventually be regarded as a disaster from Heaven. But, exactly what was it that would cause a calamity to suddenly befall them after the Grand Ceremony of Worship? I have to say, this may be a warning from Heaven to Dajin. "
Lin Mengya's eyes lit up. She remembered that in modern times, before Wu Zetian became the emperor, there were many people who said that there were strange phenomena of women taking over the government.
Now that the Empress was in control of the government, if she used it properly, wouldn't it be a serious blow to the Empress?
"Father, are you saying that the Empress's presence in the court will bring trouble to the country?"
Lin Nansheng was also a very smart person, so he immediately guessed his father's intention.
Lin Muzhi nodded. It seemed that his two children were as smart as the Lin family.
"By the way, Father, I have something important to discuss with you this time."
Lin Mengya had not told her father that she was going to the palace. Now, if there were rumors of women taking over the government, wouldn't the Empress be distracted to deal with her?
In other words, now was the best time!
"Tell me, what evil idea do you have in mind?"
Lin Mengya smiled faintly and explained clearly that she was going to the palace to treat the Emperor's illness.
After listening to her, the father and the son of the Lin family fell into silence.
In fact, even if Lin Mengya met the Empress, she would not be able to tell anything from the danger of entering the palace.
"Ya 'er, let me ask you. How confident are you that you can find out about the Emperor's illness? I heard from your brother that you can detoxify the strange poison after you recover. Is it true? "
Lin Muzhi asked solemnly. After all, many miracles had happened to his daughter.
But the Emperor's illness was not a child's play. It was related to the life of the Lin family, so he had to be careful.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya had prepared an excuse in advance.
"I dare not lie to you, Father. I have been sensitive to drugs since I was a child. What was even more strange was that whenever I smelled a medicine, I could tell if it was poison or not. As for detoxification, I learned it from a master in the mansion. I am talented, and this master is really not simple, so I have the ability to detoxify. "
In fact, there were many loopholes in Lin Mengya's words.
However, Lin Muzhi seemed to believe it without a doubt.
Looking into his daughter's eyes, Lin Muzhi sighed faintly and said,
"Girl, you really are like your mother. Do you know that your mother was the famous Doctor Jadeface in the capital city? "
Doctor Jadeface? Lin Mengya frowned and tried hard to recall.
But back then, her brother was still a toddler. She was just a baby in swaddling clothes. How could she have any impression of him?
Lin Muzhi looked at his daughter with relief and continued,
"When I first met your mother, she was treating the herdsmen at the frontier fortress. Later, I was seriously injured. My adjutant was anxious, so he secretly kidnapped your mother and brought her here. "
Speaking of which, everything that had happened back then was actually a coincidence.
Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng looked at each other. This was the first time that their father told them the love story of him and their mother.
He seemed to be immersed in the beauty of the past. His face, which had been weathered for many years, looked a little more gentle. Lin Mengya thought that this must be the tenderness of a man of iron.
In fact, although her father looked rough, he was actually very gentle and delicate.
Who would have thought that in the first few years after her mother's death. She had actually been brought up by her father.
Even now, she couldn't imagine that a general who could strike fear into the hearts of his enemies on the battlefield would actually hold a baby so gently. This was simply a completely unrelated matter.
"Your mother was known as the most beautiful woman at the frontier fortress. She was so beautiful, so intelligent, and so considerate. Although my adjutant caught her, she taught him a harsh lesson. Can you imagine that? There were so many people in our camp, but they all took a detour when they saw your mother. At that time, I was tortured badly. "
A bright smile bloomed on her father's face. It was a happy smile that belonged to memories. Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng looked at each other and saw the pity in each other's eyes.
If their mother was still alive, their father would be the happiest man in the world.
