"Going out? Where are you going, Your Highness? "
Lin Mengya was just asking casually, but Long Tianyu suddenly frowned. He seemed to be in a dilemma.
"It's the spring plowing season now, but many places have been hit by the disaster. Therefore, the Crown Prince ordered me to inspect the places to prevent the spring plowing from being delayed. "
Lin Mengya nodded as if she understood something. Indeed, in ancient times when productivity was low. Spring plowing was an important condition for the survival of the whole country.
If it was delayed, it would be a major event for the people's livelihood. But they couldn't be careless.
"Your Highness is right. This is indeed a major event. You should be careful on the way. If the Crown Prince and the Empress intend to deal with you on the way, it will be troublesome. "
Long Tianhao believed that no one dared to deal with him in the capital city.
But if he went out, it would be hard to say. Moreover, it was said that many places had been hit by the disaster last year. If it was not handled well, it would have a negative impact on Long Tianhao.
This was not an easy task. Even she felt that this matter was indeed tricky and difficult to handle.
"I know, but I'm not in the mansion. You have to be careful and wait for me to come back. "
This time, Long Tianhao also felt that the Crown Prince transferred him out of the capital city at this time. Maybe it was a conspiracy against Lin Mengya.
But what the Crown Prince said did make sense.
Last year, the natural disaster was raging. There were countless victims, and it was not easy for them to not have any riots.
If at this time, because of the spring plowing, the barely maintained peaceful situation would become a bubble.
At that time, the riots of the victims would shake the foundation of the whole country.
"I know. When are you leaving? I'll ask Steward Deng to prepare for you. "
Lin Mengya put away all her worries and showed a relaxed smile.
She knew that if Long Tianhao was not here. What kind of threat would her life be? Her father and brother had led their subordinates back to the frontier.
Now, if even Long Tianhao left. By her side, it seemed that she had no one to rely on.
The ones who wanted her life weren't just the two in the Palace.
But now, at least, she had attracted the attention of those neutral officials in the court. If she could successfully develop the antidote that could cure the emperor. She believed that those people would not easily let her become an innocent soul.
"Don't worry, I'll be leaving in a few days. Since it's to appease the victims, I need to make some preparations. "
Suddenly, Long Tianhao looked at Lin Mengya gently.
If possible, he really wanted her to not have to worry about anything anymore.
"Yes, I know."
Lin Mengya also looked at him gently. In fact, since Long Tianhao was not in the Capital City, she could also develop her own Sanjue Hall.
Rumor had it that due to their recent development, they had already become a rather well-known organization in the capital.
If he wanted to make it big, he had to put in a lot of effort.
In the evening, Lin Mengya, who was reading in the Liuxin Courtyard, was listening to her maids exchanging the information they had collected.
In fact, it was just some gossip about Concubine De in the mansion.
Although Lin Mengya felt that Concubine De seemed to be more well-behaved since she came back. He didn't give her any trouble, nor did he send anyone to embarrass her.
Now, she was a hundred percent sure. The woman living in the Art Courtyard was definitely not the original Concubine De.
Long Tianhao should have noticed it. How could a smart man like him not recognize his mother?
If not for the fact that she was kept alive, firstly, it was to numb the Queen. Secondly, it was to find out where the real Concubine De was. Given Long Tianhao's character, he would definitely arrest her and interrogate her in a simple and violent way.
"I heard that the Art Courtyard has been quiet recently. Even Yun Ruo has not been seen for a long time. She used to be Concubine De's most favored maidservant. Now Concubine De has been feeling unwell, but she has disappeared. "
With Baizhi around, all kinds of gossip in Prince Yu's Mansion would definitely not be missed.
On the table, there were dried fruits, fried goods, and fashionable pastries that she brought back from outside the mansion. Her cute little face ate like a hamster.
However, the other two maids had long been used to her behavior.
"But I don't think that Yun Ruo is a person who knows her place. Years ago, I was chatting with the women in the kitchen. I heard that Yun Ruo took advantage of the fact that she was the favorite of Concubine De and ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge every day to maintain her beauty. She even had to eat the blood bird's nest. I also heard that only our master and Concubine De could eat the blood bird's nest in our mansion. She was so generous that she asked someone to send it from Concubine De's place. In my opinion, Concubine De treats her even better than Prince Yu! "
Baishao said with disdain, but she just treated it as gossip. But when Lin Mengya heard it, it seemed to evoke some memories.
If Baishao did not mention it, she would have almost forgotten about it.
In the past, Yun Ruo could be regarded as the most powerful maid in Prince Yu's Mansion when she was serving Concubine De.
She originally thought that Yun Ruo was an old acquaintance of Concubine De in the palace. But from Long Tianhao's reaction, it was not difficult to guess that Yun Ruo was actually a stranger.
How could a maid who had just joined Concubine De's service be favored by someone who ate the blood bird's nest?
"Blood bird's nest is nothing. I heard from the washers that Yun Ruo's clothes are made of fine brocade yarn. Even our master only has a few pieces of this kind of fabric. "
Baizhi twisted her nose as she spoke. Obviously, she did not have a good impression of Yun Ruo.
Anyway, everyone in the Liuxin Courtyard was united. Naturally, they hated the people in the Art Courtyard.
"Fine brocade yarn? That's a good material to be used as a tribute. Previously, when the palace gave out the New Year's rewards, our master only received three bolts of it. Concubine De also received five bolts of it, which was not even enough to be used as a reward. How could she wear it? She's really good to her. "
The three of them laughed and joked, but there was nothing to be envious of.
Yun Ruo was only eating a little better and dressing a little better. But they held a very important place in their master's heart.
Not to mention other things, just the monthly dividends from the pharmacy were enough to make them rich.
How could a few bolts of cloth compare to Lin Mengya's sincerity to them?
"Baiji, go and get me those clothes made of fine brocade yarn. I want to have a look."
Lin Mengya said calmly as she put the book on the table.
All along, Lin Mengya had been puzzled.
If the Queen had held Concubine De hostage, how could she guarantee that the fake Concubine De would not be exposed?
Come to think of it, the Queen and Concubine De had been enemies for many years.
Perhaps the Queen knew Concubine De better than her son, Long Tianhao.
If she was not careful, Long Tianyu might see through her. Perhaps, what she wanted to do would be in vain.
From another perspective, if Lin Mengya was in the Queen's position. Then, in order to prevent others from seeing through the fake Concubine De, she would have to find someone who was very familiar with Concubine De's every move. Moreover, the person must be the Queen's confidant who was always by Concubine De's side to spy on her.
Presumably, Yun Ruo was this person.
However, Yun Ruo's every move was not like that of an ordinary maid. Either they were lowly to the bone, or they were arrogant to the heavens.
She gave people a sense of disdain in her respectful manner.
Her smile was fake, but it was enough to make people shudder.
What kind of role would such a person play in front of the Queen?
"Master, there are a total of three pieces of clothing. I've brought them all."
While Baiji was thinking, she had already picked up the clothes she wanted.
The three pieces of clothing were for the beginning of spring. One was a rose-purple robe with a floral pattern, and the other two were a garnet dress embroidered with peach blossoms.
Even under the dim light, the material was still dazzling and dazzling.
Lin Mengya reached out and touched the material.
It was said that the raw materials of this fine brocade yarn were carefully selected. Not only did it not feel rough to the touch, but it also felt smooth, as if it was even softer than human skin.
With such good material, it was no wonder that the members of the royal family liked it.
However, if what Yun Ruo was wearing was really given to her by Concubine De. Then the tailor in the mansion would remember it.
"Baishao, ask the tailor in the mansion. Was what Yun Ruo was wearing really given to her by Concubine De? Baiji, ask the servants in the Art Courtyard if they saw where Concubine De put the five rolls of fine brocade yarn. Did they take them out? "
Lin Mengya had a hunch that Yun Ruo was not a simple person.
Even if she was really serving the Queen, she was sure that she was not an ordinary person.
If the Queen had revealed the truth about Concubine De to her that night, it was not because she had no choice but to stop the war.
Yun Ruo's disappearance could only mean two things.
First, Yun Ruo was serving the Queen. The Queen felt that since Lin Mengya already knew the truth, Long Tianhao would know the truth sooner or later. Long Tianhao would know the truth sooner or later.
Therefore, as a serving of the Queen, Yun Ruo would certainly return home. Or she would be erased from the world.
Of course, this was the best outcome.
However, the second thing made Lin Mengya feel uneasy.
Actually, the Queen had created the truth about the fake Concubine De. It was not just to hold Long Tianhao back, but for another purpose.
For example, she wanted to get something —
Now that Yun Ruo had disappeared, did it mean that the Empress had succeeded in her mission?
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya suddenly felt uneasy.
But soon, she calmed down.
Long Tianhao was not a fool. If Yun Ruo had really come for him, he would have sensed it.
Concubine De had been in the palace for so long that she had no secrets.
