"Your brother? No wonder he's a clever little monkey like you. It's my bad luck to meet your family. "
Qinghu didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. He sat on the chair and looked at Lin Mengya with a smile.
"Tell me, what are you doing here? You're not here to catch up with me, are you? "
After interacting with Qinghu for a few times, she found that he was not as cold and heartless as he looked.
After all, not everyone could maintain their nature under such inhuman torture.
She believed that if she cured Qinghu in the future, he would be able to control his temper, although he was not a good person.
"I'm here because someone paid me a lot of money to steal something from your house."
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and looked at the smiling guy in front of her.
"When did you change your profession to be a thief?"
Qinghu, who was thick-skinned, couldn't help changing his expression when Lin Mengya looked at him with contempt.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's all because of you. It's because I let you go last time that the other party changed his mind. You heartless little thing, I've suffered a lot for you! "
All of a sudden, Lin Mengya felt goosebumps all over her body. Why was this guy so frivolous?
But she had to believe it.
It was said that Peach Blossom Dock was very disciplined. Even he, the young master, had a hard time.
"By the way, what are you here to steal?"
Lin Mengya comforted Lin Zhongyu, who was tensed up. She knew that Qinghu would not hurt her.
"I'm here to steal an imperial edict."
An imperial edict? Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. It didn't seem to be useful.
"Actually, you're not the only one. I've been to all the families in the capital city that have received the emperor's favor. But I didn't find anything. But I'm very curious. Where do you hide the imperial edict? I can't find it no matter how hard I try. "
He asked casually, but Lin Mengya gave him a cold smile.
"You want to get it out of me? No way!"
Lin Mengya didn't give him any chance and immediately refused him.
Seeing that there was no chance for Qinghu to touch her, he pursed his lips and disappeared from Lin Mengya's room.
This guy was clearly here to pass on the news and do him a favor. Why did he make it sound so frivolous when it came out of his mouth?
"Sister, what do you think those people want the imperial edict for?"
Lin Mengya frowned as well. The imperial edict was indeed useful. It was useless to say anything.
However, the Emperor's health was not as good as it used to be. Most of the edicts were signed by the Empress with her phoenix seal.
No!
When she was conferred the title of Princess Yu, it was stamped with the Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal. Could it be …
"Xiaoyu, go and play with Baizhi and the others. I'm going out for a while!"
Lin Mengya ran to Long Tianhao's study in a hurry. The guards recognized her, so they did not stop her.
However, she did not expect that Long Tianhao was not in the mansion.
"Where is the Prince?" Lin Mengya looked at Steward Deng anxiously.
"The Prince has something to do and only Lin Kui is with him."
Steward Deng looked at the Princess in front of him in confusion. What on earth could make her so flustered?
"When the Prince comes back, ask him to go to the Liuxin Courtyard immediately to find me. Remember, he must come immediately! "
If things were really like what she guessed, then everything could be explained.
The Guanyin statue was not to kill her, but to find an excuse to imprison all the people in the Prince's Mansion.
It was not a small thing to break a Guanyin statue, but it was not a big thing either.
As long as they were grounded, they would repent, and then cultivate in seclusion for a few months.
However, during this period, there would be countless changes!
If Qinghu did not tell her the news, she would not have guessed it.
"Aunt Jinyue, where is my mother?"
Jinyue looked at the anxious Princess and answered in a hurry.
"Concubine De is resting. What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Lin Mengya suddenly found that these were all her guesses. She had no evidence at all.
"I … Nothing. I just came to pay my respects to my mother. Since she is still sleeping, I'll go back first. "
But when she finished speaking, Jingyue walked out of the main hall of the Art Courtyard.
"Your Highness, Concubine De wants to see you —"
Oh no, how did she wake up Concubine De!
"Yes."
Lin Mengya calmed down and followed Jingyue into Concubine De's room.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to come to the Art Courtyard? "
Concubine De, who had just taken a nap, was slightly disheveled. She looked lazy and a little tired.
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat, but she showed an obedient smile on her face.
"I'm here to disturb you. Firstly, I'm here to pay my respects to you. Secondly, I'm here about your birthday. It's the first time that I'm in charge of my mother's birthday. I'm afraid that I've done something wrong and made you angry! "
Lin Mengya said in a gentle and soft voice. Her small mouth was pleasing to the eye.
Looking at this girl, Concubine De's tightly knitted brows relaxed a little.
"Well, you're considerate. You can discuss with your Aunt Jinyue if you have any problems. I'm very tired these days, so I won't accompany you young people. "
Concubine De rubbed between her eyebrows. Lin Mengya could tell that this was not a matter of a day or two.
"Mother, when I'm at home, I often massage my father's shoulders. Maybe it can relieve your illness."
Concubine De waved her hand and refused.
"Many imperial physicians have tried to cure my illness, but to no avail. You're just a girl. What can you know? You can leave."
"Yes."
Lin Mengya left obediently. Why did she feel that there was something strange about Concubine De's chronic illness?
Long Tianhao happened to be not in the mansion for ten days in a row.
Lin Mengya was very anxious, but she had to take care of Concubine De's birthday.
"Your Highness, this is the golden silk gauze for the birthday. Please have a look."
"Your Highness, this is the banquet dishes for the birthday. Please have a look."
"Your Highness, this is the guest list for the day. Please have a look."
Lin Mengya was completely entangled by these things.
Originally, it was the Ministry of Internal Affairs' business to celebrate the birthday of the concubine.
But the Empress said that since Concubine De had moved into Prince Yu's Mansion, these things should be handled by Prince Yu's Mansion.
But she didn't expect that these things were so troublesome.
Not only could she not embarrass Prince Yu's Mansion, but she also had to take care of all aspects. This really made Lin Mengya very busy.
After thinking for a while, she couldn't waste her precious time on this.
"Today, I asked you to come here to break down the work."
Early in the morning, Lin Mengya called the maids and stewards of Prince Yu's Mansion to Liuxin Courtyard to listen to the lecture.
"In the future, all questions about embroidery and decoration should be reported to Old Maid Liu first, and then to Baiji. If Baiji can't handle it, then bring it to me. "
"The guest list and return gifts should be reported to Steward Deng first. If Steward Deng can't handle it, then come back to me. As for other chores, they should be sorted out and reported to Baishao. "
Everyone immediately lowered their heads to listen to the lecture.
They had thought that this new master might fish in troubled waters because she was young.
Unexpectedly, she didn't make any mistakes in the past few days, and now she was even more orderly.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will obey your orders!"
Even so, Lin Mengya still felt uneasy.
The steward from that day had already been caught by her. Before she could torture him, he spilled out the truth like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
It turned out that an unfamiliar guard bribed him, saying that he was engaged to a maid in Prince Yu's Mansion.
But that girl was bound to him by a death contract.
He had no choice but to make such a stupid move. If he could find some clues, he would take the opportunity to drive that maid out.
Seeing that the maid had lost her mind and dared to search the Princess Consort's room, the steward was frightened.
When he was about to pack up and run away, he was caught by Steward Deng.
"Where's the maid?"
Lin Mengya suddenly felt that the maid was so bold that she even dared to enter her master's room.
"Your Highness, the maid committed suicide by jumping into a well."
"What?!"
Lin Mengya didn't expect that the maid would die like this!
"Bring the maid's body here. I want to examine it myself!"
Steward Deng was shocked. He didn't expect that the Princess wanted to examine the body in person!
"But I'm afraid it's not appropriate. After all, a corpse is unlucky. If it disturbs Concubine De's birthday, I'm afraid it's not auspicious. "
Lin Mengya looked at Steward Deng. She didn't expect that he was so old-fashioned.
"That's good. Go find an abandoned ice cellar and keep the maid's body. I'll examine the body in the future."
Steward Deng nodded and then went to do his own things.
"Miss, look at them. They have their own things to do. What should I do?"
Unlike Baishao and Baiji, Baizhi seemed to have nothing to do.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and really thought of a place to go.
"Your task is the most important. We still need someone with good taste to taste the dishes in the kitchen. Why don't we leave this job to you? "
Baizhi, who was dispirited just now, was so happy that she almost jumped up.
"Miss, you know me best! You're the best! "
Lin Mengya pulled Baizhi to prevent her from getting carried away.
"By the way, go to the kitchen. I have one more thing to ask you to do. Help me check whether there's any pattern in Concubine De's diet every day. Don't let anyone find you, understand? "
Baizhi nodded fiercely. She would try her best to do what Lin Mengya asked.
Furthermore, eating and drinking were her forte!
"Go ahead. Come back with Baishao tonight and tell me about it."
Baizhi happily ran to the kitchen, leaving Lin Mengya alone in deep thought.
