Long Tianyu nodded. In fact, he had also noticed it. Today, whether in the palace or in his father's bedroom, there were many flaws on the surface.
If it was on a normal day, it would not attract much attention.
But it was the Palace Banquet on New Year's Eve, so they should be more vigilant. It seemed that the Empress intended to lure Long Tianyu into the trap.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Long Tianyu was willing to listen to her. Otherwise, it would be difficult for this disaster to end peacefully today.
She turned around and quietly went out of the side hall. When she returned to the corner, Night's figure had disappeared. After checking, there were no signs of a fight, nor were there any strange footprints around.
It seemed that he had left by himself.
Lin Mengya felt a little relieved. When she was about to return to Chongqing Palace, she suddenly felt as if there was an electric shock in her mind.
Something was wrong! Everything that happened tonight was not right!
Lin Mengya stood there and quickly recalled everything that happened today.
If the Empress really did not want to fight with Long Tianyu, why did she reveal the secret of Concubine De to her? And why did she remove the guards in the palace, as if she was inviting Long Tianyu into the trap?
Did the Empress have other plans?
Lin Mengya quickly walked back to Chongqing Palace. It was still a scene of singing and dancing. The Empress and the Crown Prince were still sitting in the hall, talking and laughing with their relatives.
The four maidservants had nervous expressions on their faces, but when they saw that their Master had returned, they could finally relax.
"Master, where have you been?"
Baiji lowered her voice and did not want to attract anyone's attention. She welcomed Lin Mengya and sat back in her seat.
"Nothing, I just felt a little bored in the hall, so I went out for a walk. By the way, was there anything unusual just now? "
Lin Mengya asked carefully. The four maidservants thought for a while and shook their heads.
Chongqing Palace was very lively tonight, so it was normal that they did not notice it.
She waited for a while, but Long Tianyu did not come back. It was strange. Except for changing clothes and arranging his subordinates, there should be nothing else that delayed him.
Just as she was deep in thought, an explosion suddenly came from outside.
"Boom —" The whole hall was silent for a moment. Everyone looked outside, and it was as bright as day.
"It's fireworks, Master, look, it's fireworks."
Baizhi said excitedly. Lin Mengya took a closer look and found that they were indeed brilliant fireworks.
Really, she had worried for nothing. Come to think of it, the ancients did indeed like fireworks. Moreover, it was New Year's Eve, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"I've heard that fireworks are worshiped by foreign countries. It's a little different from what we usually see."
Among the clan members, those who were slightly more knowledgeable also began to explain to the people around them. Everyone's attention was attracted by the dazzling fireworks.
The four maids also saw the scene outside, and their eyes couldn't help but have a look of excitement.
"So beautiful, so beautiful firework. She's much more beautiful than the ones we saw outside the palace. "
Baizhi stared fixedly at the scenery outside. It was obvious that she didn't have enough eyes to see everything. However, Lin Mengya saw a figure beside the Empress quietly disappearing.
She was a trusted aunt of the Empress. Why did she look so sneaky?
Lin Mengya was cautious. She pulled Baisu's sleeve and gave her a vigilant look.
Sure enough, after a while, he heard noises coming from outside. After a while, a eunuch ran into the room in a panic.
"Your Highness, the emperor's resting palace accidentally caught fire! Now all the Yulin Guards and the imperial guards are putting out the fire! "
"The emperor's resting palace caught fire? What a coincidence. Is it because of these fireworks? " Lin Mengya's mind was racing, but she didn't have time to react. In the next moment, the door of Chongqing Palace was kicked open.
Many men in black rushed in like a tide. Lin Mengya's eyelids twitched. What was going on?
"How dare you! This is the Imperial Palace, not a place where you thieves can barge in!"
The imperial guards by the door immediately pulled out their swords and fought with the men in black who rushed in.
But the martial arts of the men in black were obviously much better than that of the imperial guards. In just a short while, the imperial guards who were responsible for guarding the surroundings of Chongqing Palace were all killed.
"Protect the master! Retreat!"
Baisu's weapon had been taken away. In a hurry, she had to pick up the vase on the shelf next to her and protect the other four people behind her.
The men in black were very fierce. Besides, most of the people in the palace were relatives of the royal family, so only some of the imperial guards formed a temporary human wall.
What was worse, the side door was also blocked. Everyone was hiding in the innermost part of the hall. The Empress and the Crown Prince were in the middle.
"What's going on? Why are there assassins suddenly? "
The Crown Prince shouted at the top of his lungs. The guards around him protected him and the Queen with all their might.
"They must have sneaked in when there are so many people. Hold on for a while, soon someone will come to save us! "
Long Qinghan grabbed a sword from the hands of a man in black and rushed to kill him. The fire in the emperor's bedchamber attracted most of the guards in the palace. Being attacked from both front and back, the people of Chongqing Palace were in imminent danger.
"Guards! Guards! Protect the emperor! "
Obviously, the Crown Prince would not take the risk, so he hurriedly stood at the back of the crowd.
Lin Mengya was also pushed to the back of the crowd. Compared with the Crown Prince, the Empress was still very calm.
"Ladies, come to my side. Dear members of the royal family, there must be someone with wild ambitions in this matter. They want to overthrow the Dajin dynasty. As members of the royal family, your life and death depend on this! "
The Empress was good at stirring up people's hearts. Her words immediately made all the royal family members stand out.
The ladies and the young and old members of the royal family were all protected by them. They followed behind Long Qinghan and fought with the men in black.
But there were too many men in black, and there were many of them. These people were very despicable, and they specialized in sneak attacking the defenseless old, young, women, and children.
After a while, Chongqing Palace was in a mess, and there were many dead bodies lying on the ground.
No matter how powerful Long Qinghan and the royal family members were, they were only forced to retreat by the men in black. In the end, they could only protect the group of people behind them.
All the people were suspended in the air. Could it be that tonight would be the day that the Long Family would be destroyed?
"Your Highness the Empress, the Crown Prince, please forgive me for my tardiness!"
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, reinforcements finally arrived from outside.
The soldiers in the uniform of the Imperial Guards surrounded the entire Chongqing Palace in an instant.
"Ah! It's the imperial guards! It's really the imperial guards! Great, we're finally saved! "
Small cheers came from the crowd, but Lin Mengya stared at the men in black in front of her.
Because the clothes of those men were almost the same as that of the masked woman beside Long Tianhao. She looked around, but still did not see Long Tianhao.
Could it be … could it be that the turmoil tonight was also planned by Long Tianhao?
But these people still showed no mercy to the old, young, women, and children. Long Tianhao would never allow his men to do this!
"Humph, another group of people coming to die! Men, kill them all. Be it the Empress or the Crown Prince, none of them will live past tonight. "
The voice was cold and gentle. Lin Mengya's pupils shrank. This person, this person was obviously the woman beside Long Tianhao!
She bit her lips tightly. It turned out that he still did not give up! In fact, he even turned around and slaughtered those innocent people!
Although the men in black were powerful, they could not resist the rapid increase in the number of imperial guards.
Everyone knew that if they didn't fight with their lives on the line, they would only face the fate of being slaughtered!
Her heart was beating fast. The people in front of her were fighting, and the sound of weapons clashing was endless. The originally peaceful Chongqing Palace had now become a Shura hell.
Red blood spread, and one by one, people fell down. Not only the men in black, but also the innocent relatives and family members were killed.
Lin Mengya only felt that her heart was immersed in cold water.
She clearly remembered that the man had promised her not to act rashly. But why did such a cruel thing still happen?
"Master, what's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
Baishao held Lin Mengya, who was about to fall, and asked.
Zhang Xuan shook his head. Since things had come to this, it was already too late to blame anyone.
The imperial guards obviously had the upper hand, and the men in black were constantly killed on the spot. The situation had become one-sided. No matter how stubbornly the men in black resisted, they would be killed sooner or later. Suddenly, a black figure rushed into the panicked crowd.
Suddenly, a black shadow took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and rushed towards the panicking crowd. No one expected that this person would rush into the crowd.
"Ahhh —"
They fought, and it was obvious that the man in black was no match for them. In the end, he ended the battle with one arm covered with blood.
The black-clothed man was clearly no match for them. In the end, he ended the battle with an arm that was covered in blood. However, to everyone's surprise, this person, for some unknown reason, used his remaining hand to support his body and crawled towards a certain spot in the crowd.
Just as the guards were about to finish him off, they were stopped by the Crown Prince.
"Wait!"
Before the guards could react, the man in black crawled to Lin Mengya's feet and even reached out to grab the hem of her skirt.
The bloody hand left a bloody handprint on the hem of her skirt. But what shocked Lin Mengya more was that the man raised his head and smiled bitterly at her.
"Princess … I'm sorry, we … didn't do as you ordered!"
