There were many masters in the palace, so Lin Mengya had a good impression of this old man who didn't have the feminine temperament of a eunuch. Therefore, she spoke with a bit of politeness and respect.
"You're too polite, Your Highness. My house is shabby. Please follow me."
Yu Qiang didn't show much pride in Lin Mengya's politeness.
He smiled faintly, as if he was treating an ordinary guest. Lin Mengya and Baisu immediately followed him, and the three of them bypassed the collapsed ruins.
However, a cold laugh crept into her nose.
"This is …"
Lin Mengya was surprised by the scenery behind the dilapidated courtyard. It was a plum forest. The red plum blossoms were like fire, the white plum blossoms were like snow, and the tender yellow plum blossoms were dotted among them. It was a chilly winter, but it looked lively and active.
"I'm old and weak, so I can't continue to serve the masters in the palace. Thanks to the masters, I can take care of this plum forest. It's the last thing I can do for the masters in the palace. "
Although Yu Qiang's tone was humble, Lin Mengya could still feel a trace of self-mockery.
When she saw that the skinny old man who was carrying a hoe did not show the slightest sign of weakness, she knew that this eunuch was not as simple as he seemed.
"Don't say that. Every plant in the palace looks noble and beautiful, but it's actually very difficult to survive. It's cold winter. Without your careful cultivation, how could the flowers bloom so brilliantly? It's also the second time for me to see such good plum blossoms. However, the plum blossoms at that time were too vulgar. They were not as proud as the plum blossoms here. "
They seemed to be talking about plum blossoms, but in fact, they were talking about people.
The plum blossoms in the North Tower were beautiful, but they were too coquettish. Of course, they were not as proud as the plum blossoms here.
"Your Highness, you're really observant. Don't worry about eavesdroppers here. I dare not say it in other places, but at least in the Servants Administration, no one dares to offend me. "
Presumably, Yu Qiang had a good impression of Lin Mengya. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought her here to talk.
She was very curious about this seemingly ordinary Eunuch Yu, who gave her a sense of aloofness.
"Eunuch Yu, no, this title is more of an insult to you. Senior Yu, this junior is only here to thank you for your timely help. You don't have to think too much about it. The turmoil in the palace has nothing to do with you. Junior knows what to do and will not cause you any trouble. "
Seeing that Lin Mengya was so sincere, Yu Qiang sighed quietly.
His gaze drifted towards the plum forest, and he seemed to be a little lonely and helpless.
"I don't deserve to be called a senior. This old servant is just a cripple in the palace. However, there was one thing that the princess should not get involved in the battle between the princes. This old servant heard that the Tenth Prince has been sent to the Princess Consort's courtyard. Your Highness, do you know that in this way, your situation in the palace will be even more difficult? "
Yu Qiang's words made Lin Mengya smile.
She was even more certain that if this person wasn't on his highness' side, then he was on her father's side. If it had nothing to do with her, who would comfort her with sincere and heartfelt words?
"Since I'm already in the palace, what can I escape responsibility for? Even when I'm outside the palace, I've already been involved in it. Prince Yu, the Lin family, which one of them can stay out of it? "
To put it bluntly, the battle between the princes was a battle between factions. In the future, it might be a battle for the throne.
Now, the marriage between the Lin family and Prince Yu seemed to be a powerful alliance on the surface. In fact, it was like adding oil to the fire. A little carelessness would cause the whole game to collapse.
"Alas, after all, we can't escape from the fight. Your father is right. Once you enter the palace, you will be as deep as the sea. If at that time … "
The latter words were hidden in Yu Qiang's sigh.
Lin Mengya keenly captured the information in his words. It seemed that this senior Yu was really an old acquaintance of her father.
If that was the case, then it would explain why he would help her.
"Forget it. Since I can't persuade you, I can only do what I can. It must be very inconvenient for you to stay in the palace alone. If there is anything in the future, you can come here to find me. As long as I can do it, I will do it for the princess. "
It was not the first time that Yu Qiang had said this.
Lin Mengya knew that if she continued to refuse, she would regard him as an outsider.
"It just so happens that I also have a small matter that I need your help with. When I came to the palace, I only brought this girl with me. If I ask this girl to do everything for me, I'm afraid that she will be too busy. So, I hope you can help me find a reliable person. "
Baisu's martial arts was also one of her trump cards to save her life. Therefore, she couldn't leave her for a moment.
Except for Pearl and Agate, there was no one else in the courtyard who could do anything. Therefore, she had to ask Yu Qiang to help her find a suitable candidate.
Yu Qiang lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he had already taken this matter to heart. After thinking for a while, he replied,
"This old servant will see to it. However, there are many people in the palace. You'd better be careful in the future. Now it's an eventful time. You'd better be on guard against someone who will do something desperate. "
Lin Mengya nodded solemnly, but she smiled in her heart.
Senior Yu was so powerful that he even called the Empress and the Crown Prince's party dogs. He must have hated them to the core for what they had done to him.
After a few more words, Lin Mengya left a small gift for Senior Yu Qiang. After saying goodbye to each other, she turned around and left the small courtyard full of ruins.
Looking back at the courtyard full of weeds, who would have thought that behind it was a quiet and elegant plum garden?
The palace was different from the common people. There were masters everywhere, and everything was unfathomable. She really had to be more cautious.
After returning from Senior Yu Qiang's place, Lin Mengya had an idea.
At least, she was no longer struggling in the palace, and she was no longer alone.
Obviously, he should be an old eunuch in poverty, but none of those powerful palace maids and eunuchs dared to show contempt to him. This showed that Yu Qiang's superior status in the Servants Administration was extraordinary.
He probably knew the situation in the palace better than anyone else. With such a person to guide her, maybe she could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
When Lin Mengya returned to her small courtyard from the Servants Administration, she did not expect to be caught up by the people of the Imperial Hospital.
The imperial physicians, who had been dejected just now, unexpectedly saw Princess Yu. Immediately, as if they had seen their relatives, they almost rushed up to her with tears in their eyes and kowtowed to her.
"Your Highness, where have you been? You've made us wait for a long time. "
Lin Mengya had heard too many flattering words. Now, when she saw them flattering her like in a Sichuan opera, Lin Mengya just felt that it was ridiculous.
"Does our master need to inform the imperial physicians of where she is going? The Imperial Hospital is too strict. Our master is just an apprentice in the Imperial Hospital. It seems that she is not under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Hospital, right? "
Baisu had already followed Lin Mengya's instructions and started to mock and ridicule those imperial physicians.
Lin Mengya's frosty look, coupled with her violent methods, caused the imperial physicians' faces to turn pale and then turn green.
The atmosphere fell into an awkward situation for a while. Lin Mengya turned her eyes slightly and smiled lightly.
"I've been busy these days, so I have no time to go to the Imperial Hospital to disturb you. Imperial physicians are diligent and conscientious. I won't be of much help if I go there, so I won't go and make trouble. Everyone, please go back. After all, the Imperial Hospital is busy. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to come out. "
Everyone knew how to use soft nails, not only in the Imperial Hospital.
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, the imperial physicians looked at each other. After all, they were in the wrong first. Moreover, they finally understood that the person in front of them was not a small role.
Those little tricks in the dark could turn the Court of Imperial Physicians upside down.
"This … I'm afraid it's not easy to report to the president. The president has severely scolded us, and it's also our fault for neglecting the distinguished guest. Your Highness, you are magnanimous. Please don't take it to heart. "
Were these words trying to use the court judge to pressure her?
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"The Imperial Hospital thinks too highly of themselves. Can they do whatever they want with the power in their hands?"
"I also know that the president is naturally experienced, and we can't compare with him. So, it's enough for the Imperial Hospital to rely on the president. I'm just a woman. What's the use? Everyone, please go back. It's not appropriate to stay in the palace for a long time. Everyone, please go back. "
Lin Mengya repeatedly asked them to leave, and they did not dare to say anything more.
They could only hang their heads and go back to the Imperial Hospital with gloomy eyes.
Everything was as usual in the small courtyard. Under the effect of her nerve-soothing incense, Yinghua slept soundly. After all, a child needed a good rest to develop normally. The fright a few days ago really hurt this little guy.
"Master, you were really amazing just now. Those imperial physicians didn't dare to make a sound. A few days ago, we suffered a lot of anger from them. Now, we've gotten back at them. "
Baisu was originally a straightforward person. Since she was bullied, she would get back at them sooner or later.
Although she was the most obedient and taciturn one among the four maidservants, Lin Mengya knew that the reason why no one in the mansion dared to offend the three maidservants was because of Baisu.
Lin Mengya shook her head and sighed faintly.
"You don't know. I'm happy now. But it will be more difficult for me in the Imperial Hospital. Think about it, the reason why they are so anxious is that they have encountered difficulties because of me. If this matter is solved, what do you think they will do to me? "
If it were not for the urgency of the situation, she would not have made such a bad decision.
Yinghua's murder was like a blow to her head. The 10th prince was at least five years old, and Concubine Xian was promoted last year.
