"You don't know? Humph, it seems that you are not qualified to be the leader. She is holding your Bamboo Sage Token in her hand. Otherwise, how do you think she was able to enter the Prince's Residence? "
Long Tianhao looked serious. Master Bamboo was the real owner of North Tower. As for Young Master Mei, he was merely someone she had found to disguise herself.
Moreover, the so-called Young Master Mei was nothing more than a talented and pure man.
"I'm sorry. Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will deal with Master Mei well and make amends."
Master Bamboo thought for a while and understood. Lu Ning came here in Mei's sedan a few days ago. She didn't expect this girl to be so bold.
He could not help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead. No wonder Miss Ruobing told her to keep an eye on Mei before she left.
"You can deal with it after this is over. Remember, today's action can only be successful, not failure. "
Long Tianhao turned around. Because of his movement, his cloak was flowing in a heroic arc. Master Bamboo looked serious and turned to the direction of the emperor's resting palace.
"Pass my order. All the secret posts start to take action in an hour."
"Yes."
Suddenly, there was an answer in the air. It was like a gust of wind blowing, but the side hall was still empty.
Lin Mengya was sitting in Chongqing Palace. Although it was a family banquet, the atmosphere of the royal family was very formal. Long Tianhao was not liked by the Queen, and she was also treated coldly.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya was a person who could entertain herself. Even if she just sat there quietly, it became a scene that could not be ignored in this palace banquet.
Gradually, more and more people came to her.
Just as he was feeling bored, he felt someone gently touch his foot.
She looked up and saw Shangguan Hui's back. She was a little surprised. Shangguan Hui was a very smart girl.
She pretended to look down casually and saw a small ball of paper under the table.
Could it be that she wanted to pass on some kind of message to him?
"Oh, I'm so careless."
Lin Mengya accidentally knocked over the wine glass, and the four maids immediately surrounded her.
As if they had a tacit understanding, they completely blocked everyone's line of sight for her.
Without batting an eyelid, he hid the note in his sleeve. Lin Mengya smiled apologetically and said to the maid beside her,
"Auntie, I didn't pay attention and spilled the wine on the ground, making my shoes and socks wet. Is there a place where I can take a short break? "
Lin Mengya caused such a small commotion. She was appropriately shy and didn't let any loopholes slip. After all, this sort of thing was quite common in banquets.
The aunt immediately bowed and said amiably, "Thank you.
"You're welcome, Princess Yu. Don't worry. After exiting from the back door and passing through the veranda, there were a few rooms. It was a place that the Empress had specially left for the nobles to rest. Just go, lest you miss the hour. "
The four maidservants helped her up and nodded to express their thanks. Then, they calmly walked towards the back door.
Everyone was busy exchanging greetings outside, so they did not attract too much attention.
After entering the room, Lin Mengya made sure that there was no one around, and immediately took out the note in her hand.
"Guard the door for me. If anyone comes near, you must tell me in advance. Do you understand?"
The four maidservants naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, so they immediately nodded. Lin Mengya hid in the innermost corner and stared at the note in her hand.
The more she read, the more serious she became. Shangguan Hui wrote a sentence on the note.
"Blue Bird Cage!"
Shangguan Hui would never write these words for no reason. Blue bird? Could it be …
Lin Mengya frowned. It couldn't be. No matter how daring the Empress was, she would not do such a stupid thing. Unless she had full confidence that no one would find out.
"Baiji, when we came out, did Concubine De behave differently?"
Baiji also read the note, but obviously she knew nothing.
After hearing her master's question, she paused, shook her head and said,
"When we came out, I specially sent someone to invite Concubine De. But Concubine De said that she was not feeling well, so she refused to come. "
Since Concubine De did not leave the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, then who was caught by the Empress?
With this question in mind, Lin Mengya burned the note and returned to the main hall of Chongqing Palace.
It was said that Shangguan Hui had been very close to the Empress recently. According to her character, she must have found something unfavorable to her. Otherwise, she would not have taken the risk to leave this clue at the banquet.
Who on earth was detained by the Empress in the palace?
When she hurried back to her seat, the Empress and the Crown Prince had already arrived at Chongqing Palace.
The Empress was dressed in a brocade robe with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. She looked noble and elegant. She wore a golden phoenix crown on her head. It seemed that all the women in this hall were overshadowed by her.
Lin Mengya saw this and understood why Shangguan Qing could only be a concubine of a general.
Some beauties had beautiful eyebrows and eyes that could steal people's souls. Such as Concubine De and Princess Ming Yue. They were beautiful, but they could only be remembered by people forever with their faces.
And some people, such as the Empress and Sister Yue Ting, even if their facial features were not so delicate and perfect. But they could outshine all the beauties with their own temperament.
Especially the Empress, as long as she was there, no one could outshine her.
At this moment, her majestic phoenix eyes seemed to be because of the New Year's Eve. She was no longer so sharp, but looked at the group of relatives in front of her with a smile.
"It's only been a year, and the Empress has become more noble and elegant. Really, it makes us feel ashamed. "
The one who spoke was a prince's concubine. Lin Mengya glanced at this person and knew that she was a flatterer.
She inadvertently looked at Long Tianhao, who was sitting opposite her.
Tonight, he was still cold and elegant. However, Lin Mengya didn't know why Long Tianhao was quite quiet tonight, almost like a pool of quiet spring, without any ripples.
This was not like the usual him.
"Princess Yu?"
As soon as she looked away, she heard the Empress's voice. When she came back to herself, she saw that the people around were looking at her with a somewhat surprised look.
Baiji could not help but tug at her sleeve.
Lin Mengya immediately stood up with an apologetic smile on her face and apologized.
"Please forgive me, mother. I was impolite."
As the bride, she naturally had to show her face in front of the public.
Especially as Long Tianhao's wife, she had to be very careful in front of the Empress. Fortunately, the Empress seemed to be in a good mood today and didn't care about these trivial things.
Instead, he waved at her with a loving look on his face.
"It's the first time for you to come to the palace to stay on New Year's Eve, so naturally you're not used to it. Come, come to me. Let everyone see what a beautiful wife Yu 'er has married. "
Although she didn't like Long Tianhao. But as the wife of the first wife, at least on the surface, she still had to treat the children of her husband's concubines equally.
Lin Mengya immediately lowered her head and walked in front of the Empress. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
"This consort was thinking that this girl could be considered as this consort's niece. Naturally, she and Yu 'er can be considered as close relatives. However, Yu 'er is very stubborn. You must have put in a lot of effort to be able to get along well with him. I have a pair of Luan Feng and Jade Wall here, which is also a reward for your good housekeeping. "
The Empress gently patted her hand. The slightly cold touch made Lin Mengya feel more and more uneasy in her heart.
"Yes, mother. Thank you for your love."
She half knelt down and took a brocade box from the eunuch beside the Empress.
"Well, we're all family today. Don't be shy. You can leave. "
The Empress said lightly after glancing at her with a smile.
Lin Mengya immediately bowed to thank the Empress, but there was a touch of fear in her eyes. Because the Shen Nung system just told her that there was blood in it.
Moreover, there was a very small amount of poison in it, which belonged to Concubine De.
She calmly walked back to her seat. Fortunately, the Empress introduced a few more new wives to the royal family. She no longer had any eyes on her.
She gently opened the corner of the brocade box. It was a little dim inside. But Lin Mengya saw the corner of a thin brocade handkerchief.
There was a small embroidered word "Jiang" on it.
She immediately closed the brocade box tightly and put it into Baiji's arms. Lin Mengya stuffed it into Baiji's arms. She knew better than anyone else what it meant.
Concubine De was indeed in the hands of the Empress. But why did the Empress reveal this trump card to her so easily?
The banquet was still going on. The song and dance choreographed by North Tower were praised by many people.
North Tower? Concubine De? A note? All these clues were running in Lin Mengya's mind. Until she saw Long Tianhao getting up and leaving, she finally had an idea.
"You stay here. No one is allowed to leave this room without my order. Even if someone comes to call you, you can resist immediately if someone forces you. I'll go out for a while. Don't worry, I'm going to look for the Prince. "
Lin Mengya hurriedly instructed the four maidservants and walked out of Chongqing Palace in a hurry, looking for Long Tianhao's figure.
She hoped that things were not as she had guessed. If that was the case, then Concubine De's life would be in danger.
He hid himself in an inconspicuous corner and waited for a moment. Finally, Long Tianhao hid in a small corner door as far as the eye could see.
