The Crown Prince did not expect that things would be reversed by Long Tianhao.
Saving the Emperor was a righteous thing. Long Tianhao's suspicion was greatly reduced because of this.
If he continued to insist, it would only make people focus their suspicion on him.
The Crown Prince looked at Long Tianhao with hatred, but had to let him go for now.
However, thinking that Lin Mengya would be under his control in the future. Suddenly, a vicious plan came to his mind. As long as she was there, he would not worry that he could not kill Long Tianhao!
"Yu 'er bravely put out the fire and should be rewarded. But it happened so suddenly that I was also shocked. Princess Yu, go back to the palace with me. One who survives a great disaster is bound to have good fortune later. Crown Prince, you must settle down all the relatives. Yu 'er, Han' er, the guards of the palace are in your hands. "
"Yes, I will."
Long Tianhao just learned that the Crown Prince slandered him before he died.
As his wife, Lin Mengya would immediately stay in the palace to help with the investigation. She also had to treat her father. There must be some conspiracy in it.
Lin Mengya looked back three times at every step and followed the Queen far away. Long Tianhao could only clench his hands. It was okay. Since she stayed in the palace aboveboard, the Queen could not kill her for a while.
However, such comfort still could not ease the coldness in his heart.
He looked at the Crown Prince, who was comforting the relatives.
How much did the Crown Prince know about this conspiracy?
Although Chongqing Palace was in a mess, it did not affect other places in the palace at all.
In the Imperial Garden, although it was frozen and bleak, it was very clean. Compared with the danger just now, the Queen's calmness in the face of danger really taught her a lesson.
Passing through the Imperial Garden, they saw the Queen's Yongle Palace from afar. It was still bright and magnificent with candles.
Lin Mengya's heart tightened, but she had no choice but to obediently follow the others into Yongle Palace.
This was the first time she came to the Queen's bedroom. Speaking of it, the Queen had changed her etiquette these years. Although Yongle Palace was magnificent, it was very generous and not extravagant at all.
The Queen walked all the way into the main hall, and immediately someone came forward to help her take off her heavy coat and straighten her hair bun.
After that, a cup of ginseng tea was served. Only then did the banquet end.
"We're all family, why do you have to be so polite? Servants, give Princess Yu a seat. "
It seemed that the Empress had intentionally left her hanging. Otherwise, why would she have been stuck there like a wooden stake just now?
"No problem. Thank you, mother, for inviting me to sit."
Lin Mengya was very generous. After sitting down, she did not say much. However, everyone knew that this was just a temporary tranquility.
The Empress glanced at Lin Mengya with her almond-shaped eyes. She found that Lin Mengya was gentler and more sincere than when she had just married into the family. However, she was well aware of what was happening outside.
It seemed that this lass had really grown up.
"I've heard that your medical skills are superb. Why don't you take my pulse? That way, we won't have to trouble the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital. "
He wanted her to feel his pulse? Lin Mengya thought for a while and agreed.
Lin Mengya walked up to the Empress and gently placed her fingers on the Empress's wrist.
Although she was only proficient in the art of poison, she had not neglected the basic diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine: look, listen, question, and feel the pulse.
Baili Rui was indeed the Saint of Poison. In this aspect, he was even better than the ordinary imperial physicians. His student, who had been carefully trained by him, would naturally not be a dabbler.
"Mother, there's nothing wrong with your body. You just need to take a few doses of tranquilizer medicine."
Unknowingly, only she and the Empress were left in the entire bedroom.
After a short silence, the Empress revealed a faint smile.
"Now, are you very curious? Why is Concubine De under my control without leaving the door of the Prince's Mansion? "
Lin Mengya was shocked. The Empress dared to bring up this matter openly. It meant that the Empress was very sure that she could not leak it out.
"The Empress is so wise that you can even know what I'm thinking."
Lin Mengya's voice was cold. Only the two of them were left. They did not need to beat around the bush. Moreover, this was not the first time that she had confronted the Empress.
"You're such a sweet talker. I really can't refuse you. It's a pity that you were born in the wrong place and married the wrong person. I'm not afraid to tell you that the Concubine De in your mansion is one of my people. As for the real Concubine De, she's in my palace. We've been sisters for so many years, and we're still friends. So, I asked her to stay to talk about the old days. I don't want more people to know about this. You're a smart person. You know what to do and what not to do. "
Just to warn her? Lin Mengya felt that things would not be so simple.
"Since you're going to treat the Emperor, I value your filial piety. However, you have to abide by the rules of the palace with every word and action you speak and do in the palace. If you violate any rules, someone will take the blame for you. "
A trace of coldness flashed across the Empress's eyes.
The warning was very obvious. If Lin Mengya dared to do anything against the Empress's wishes. Then Concubine De's life would be in danger.
How hateful! How could she threaten her with this kind of thing?
However, thinking about it, Lin Mengya also used the Crown Prince to threaten the Empress.
Tit for tat, she did not suffer a loss.
"Yes, I'll do as you say. The Empress is resourceful, and I admire you a lot. But Your Highness, I have a word of advice. Those who do evil will bring about their own destruction. People often say that if you walk too much at night, you'll meet ghosts. There's no perfect thing in this world. I just hope that when mother sleeps at night, you won't be disturbed by ghosts. "
Lin Mengya did not hesitate. The Empress knew her character. If she kept tolerating, the Empress would think that she was weak and easy to bully.
Compared with before, she was no longer a poor girl.
Although she still could not fight against the Empress, she had a trump card to save her life.
"You're the legitimate daughter of the Lin family. Humph, it's not your turn to worry about my affairs. From now on, you'll live in the small courtyard next to the Emperor's palace. Come on, take Princess Yu to have a rest. "
For so many years, no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of her.
The Empress looked at the girl in front of her, bowed politely, and then left behind the maid.
The bedroom was empty and cold, which seemed to freeze the expression on the Queen's face.
"Empress, I've arranged for Princess Yu to live in the small courtyard."
Aunt Qinglan, the most capable servant of the Empress, lowered her head and came to the Empress, and said respectfully,
"This girl is not an ordinary person. Tell those people to be careful. How's the situation with the Emperor? "
The Empress's noble face became a little more unpredictable and cold.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Our people have withdrawn from the Emperor's side. No matter what happens to the Emperor, it's someone else's responsibility. "
A complacent smile appeared on Qinglan's face.
The Empress nodded and looked in the direction of the Emperor's palace. That person had said that as long as the Emperor took his medicine, even a deity would not be able to wake the Emperor up.
Those ministers and princes had never given up, so they wanted Lin Mengya to come to the palace to treat the Emperor. However, it just happened that she had found a scapegoat.
The Lin family would also be buried with Lin Mengya in this victory!
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince wants to see you."
The eunuch's voice sounded in the palace. There was a flash of disgust in the Empress's eyes.
However, she hid in the deepest part of the palace. Even the maids closest to her could not see through her true thoughts.
"Let him in. Qinglan, you can leave."
"Yes."
Qinglan bowed and left. The Crown Prince, who had changed his clothes, walked into the Empress's palace obediently.
"Greetings, mother. I'm sorry that you had a fright tonight. I feel very uneasy in my heart. So I want to visit you. "
The Crown Prince's heart was filled with indescribable anxiety.
Compared with the past, the Empress now had a carefree attitude towards him. Even if he did something bad, the Empress would not summon him to the palace to reprimand him.
She was his closest mother, but in his heart, she seemed to be as far away as a mountain.
"You're so considerate. I'm fine. Have the clan members arranged well? If this consort remembers correctly, don't make any more mistakes. The guards in the palace tonight should be arranged by the Crown Prince, right? "
The Empress's heart was already a little angry.
She had already known that Long Tianhao would take action tonight and take the Emperor out of the palace. The reason why she sent the brocade box to Lin Mengya was to threaten Long Tianhao.
Now it was not the best time to fall out with Long Tianhao.
She had made all the necessary arrangements. But this idiot not only ruined her plan, but also almost buried the Emperor in the sea of fire!
Those fireworks had been strictly inspected and would never fall into the emperor's resting palace. If the Crown Prince hadn't arranged it, how could these things happen one after another? How could it be so coincidental?
"Please forgive me, mother. I also think that too many guards in the palace will disturb my father's rest. Moreover, all the people here tonight are the clan members. There should be no outsiders. So, so, I took the initiative to transfer some people out of the palace. "
The Crown Prince was also full of grievances. He had made all the preparations.
As long as his mother cooperated with him, Long Tianhao would not be accused of assassinating the clan members.
