This was a conspiracy!
It was a conspiracy through and through!
Lin Mengya immediately looked at the Empress, only to find that the latter was looking at her with a shocked expression. Only the Crown Prince did not have time to hide his complacency, so Lin Mengya caught him red-handed.
"Well, Princess Yu! Did everyone hear that? What did this assassin just say?! Princess Yu, no wonder Prince Yu is not here. If not for his foresight, all of this was planned by him! "
Before Lin Mengya could react, someone jumped out to accuse her.
However, she exceeded everyone's expectations. He didn't admit it, nor was he panicking. Instead, she glanced at the assassin, squatted on the ground, and carefully examined the corpse.
"What? Do you want to destroy the corpse to cover up the evidence? Empress, you'd better detain this woman to pay for the death of our clan members! "
The assassin did not give up. When he attacked just now, he was faster than anyone else. Now it was time for him to make a fuss.
"Although the person is dead, the clues are still there. I just looked at the corpse. How can I destroy the corpse to cover up the evidence? Or do you have a guilty conscience and are afraid that I will find out something? "
Lin Mengya retorted in a light voice.
Immediately, she sealed the assassin's mouth.
But the assassin still did not give up, and still wanted to blame Lin Mengya.
"Princess Yu, don't quibble anymore. We all heard it. It was him who said that he did not complete Prince Yu's order. Even if he is a mad dog, why did he bite you? "
It seemed that Lin Mengya was the mastermind, but she just turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, you know what to do. Just now, the guards could have killed the assassin, but they let him crawl to me. Yes, before he died, he called you Princess Yu, but this just shows that Prince Yu is innocent. It takes great courage and determination to assassinate someone in the palace. A mad dog randomly bit his master before he died. How stupid Prince Yu must be to send him to assassinate me. He tried to cover it up, and wanted to put the death penalty on Prince Yu's Mansion. Mother, I beg you to investigate this matter thoroughly and prove Prince Yu's Mansion's innocence. "
Whether Long Tianhao did it or not, Lin Mengya would not admit it so easily.
Moreover, that person had helped Long Tianhao imperceptibly.
He didn't know which expert had arranged this good show, but it was even more obvious that he was hiding something. Anyone who paid attention would be able to smell the scent of a conspiracy.
"Alright, I know what to do. He was just an assassin, so there was no need to trust him. Perhaps they wanted to frame Yu 'er. This consort will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly in the future and return justice to everyone. "
The Empress was the Empress after all.
He not only comforted Lin Mengya, but also made his attitude clear. Even Lin Mengya had to nod in agreement in front of her.
"Reporting to Mother, countless members of the clan died in this assassination attempt. Since that was the case, why did the assassin pick on Princess Yu instead of anyone else before he died? There must be a reason for this. Why don't we detain Princess Yu first, just in case? "
What a narrow-minded Crown Prince! Lin Mengya cursed the heartless Crown Prince in her heart!
But she didn't show it on her face. It seemed that the Crown Prince wanted to use this matter to sentence her to death.
"You can't do this. The comfort of the clan is related to the dignity of the royal family. No matter what, Princess Yu is a member of the royal family. Just based on the assassin's side of the story, Princess Yu was put in jail. If this gets out, people will only think that the royal family is stupid. They can't tell right from wrong, so they can be slandered. "
Lin Mengya was a little surprised, because the person who said these words was not her old acquaintance.
This person was dressed like a prince. He had delicate features and looked like a scholar.
But the Empress just glanced at him indifferently and nodded, despite his fierce words. It was enough to show that this person was extraordinary.
Seeing her gaze, the person just nodded to her gently and did not say anything else.
"You're right, Prince Shen. I'll definitely investigate this matter to the bottom. If he needed Princess Yu's cooperation, Princess Yu would not refuse him. Why don't you stay in the palace before the matter is investigated clearly? I heard that your medical skills are excellent. The ministers in the court have recommended you to treat the Emperor many times. This time, first of all, you stay here and help me with the investigation. Secondly, it might be able to make the dragon healthy, which was also possible. What do you think? "
Lin Mengya suddenly felt a little uneasy. She heard from Long Tianhao that the Empress had always been indifferent about her entering the palace.
She neither refused nor agreed.
But why did she agree so easily this time?
But now, everyone's attention was on her. If she did not agree, it would make others suspicious.
"Yes, Your Majesty. But there are things prepared in the mansion that I need to go back to get. Please allow me, Your Majesty. "
But the Empress just smiled and said,
"Leave it to your maidservant to take it. Your father's health is more important. You were also frightened tonight. That's settled. Your maidservant can go back to the mansion tomorrow. You stay in the palace and don't make things difficult for me. "
The Empress's words completely cut off her chance to leave the palace.
It seemed that the Empress was afraid that she would run away.
Lin Mengya could only sneer in her heart. The Empress had underestimated her.
Previously, she tried every means to enter the palace in order to get close to the Emperor. Although she did not know what the Empress had changed her mind. But she was sure that the Empress would keep her in the palace. He must have come up with a foolproof plan, or he must have thought of a way to keep her alive.
Alright, then she would stay and thoroughly exchange a few blows with the Empress!
"Yes, Your Majesty. Mother, you're so thoughtful. "
The Empress nodded with satisfaction. The remaining evil outside had been cleaned up by the clan members and guards. The crisis was finally over, but Long Tianhao was still nowhere to be seen.
Lin Mengya kept calm. No matter what the people around said, she always restrained her maidservant to not say anything or explain.
But many people changed their opinion of her. They felt that she must have been wronged by the evil people since she was so calm.
But a few people whose relatives were killed by the assassins glared at her.
She ignored those people. After all, their relatives died in front of her. It was understandable that they had nowhere to vent their anger.
"Prince Yu is back! It's Prince Yu! "Outside the hall, someone yelled.
Then, a figure in a mess appeared in front of everyone.
Lin Mengya's heart was finally at ease.
He did not wear soft armor, but a brocade robe, which was a little ragged. His forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, as if he had fought desperately.
When he just returned to Chongqing Palace, he frowned because of the corpses on the ground.
However, when he saw Lin Mengya was safe and sound beside the Empress, he slightly relaxed his frown.
"Mother, please forgive me for being late to save you. When I was in the side hall, I suddenly saw my father's bedroom on fire. I was so anxious that I had to go to my father's bedroom to put out the fire. I didn't expect that the evil people should attack at this time. I hope you can forgive me for being late to save you, mother. "
Long Tianhao's words immediately shut up the people who were just talking.
The emperor's bedroom was on fire first, and the assassination in Chongqing Palace followed.
If Long Tianhao was in the side hall, he would naturally go to put out the fire. And looking at the marks on his body, there was no doubt that he was burned.
Lin Mengya suddenly had an idea, and then said,
"Mother, why don't you call the guards who just put out the fire? We were still in a state of shock and almost forgot to check on Father's side. My father's safety is related to our Dajin. "
The Empress originally wanted to turn a big problem into a small one.
Now that Lin Mengya mentioned it, if she didn't find someone to ask, it would seem that she was indifferent to the emperor.
However, the Crown Prince was a little anxious. If that was really the case … If it was true, then Long Tianhao would be more than half suspected.
However, he wanted to stop her, but he couldn't open his mouth.
If he opened his mouth at this time. It would be easy for Lin Mengya to accuse him of deliberately framing him.
Helplessly, she could only watch as her mother sent someone to summon the group of guards.
Like Long Tianhao, all the guards who were fighting the fire in the emperor's bedchamber had traces of being burned by the fire on their clothes. They were in a mess. Long Tianhao's situation was much better than theirs.
"I came late to save you, please forgive me, Your Highness."
The leader of the guards bowed politely. No one expected that they would be attacked from both sides tonight.
These guards were so busy that they came to Chongqing Palace to save the emperor after putting out the fire.
"What have you done wrong? It's your duty to protect the Empress. Get up and tell me, how's the situation with the emperor? Did he get hurt? "
Lin Mengya looked at the Empress strangely. It was said that the Empress and the emperor were a young couple.
Although the emperor later ascended the throne. There were indeed many concubines in the imperial harem. But the Empress and the Empress still loved each other.
But today, she saw that the Empress asked about the emperor. Not only did he not have the usual look of worry between fathers, but he also did not have the usual look of worry between fathers. Even when she asked, she acted like a stranger.
What was going on?
"Your Highness, it's just a fire in the front yard. It didn't hurt His Majesty's health. "
The Empress nodded, asked a few more questions, and then asked the guards to bandage the wounds.
