That was more than enough. Lin Mengya continued to observe from the window brazenly.
The three figures had now turned into five.
Long Tianhao frowned slightly because he found that there seemed to be a few more people coming to the courtyard.
However, they were the same. They had no martial arts background, just like the previous few people.
It was strange. There was only a big piece of ice in the room. Why did these people flock to it?
The more people there were, the more noises they made outside.
However, under Lin Mengya's careful arrangement, there were a total of four people in the two rooms, as if they were in a deep sleep, and there was no sign of them coming out to interrupt them.
The silhouettes didn't care too much anymore, and gradually became bolder.
They did not know that their every move was being watched by others.
More and more shadows gathered, and soon there were more than a dozen of them. Finally, with the cooperation of these people, they laboriously moved a particularly large box out of the reception room.
Lin Mengya found it interesting. She saw that these people had laboriously moved the wooden box out, and they had deliberately concealed the sound. At this moment, they had bent down from the pressure.
Lin Mengya, who was in a playful mood, tugged at the hem of Long Tianhao's robe, and pointed in the direction of those people.
When their eyes met, Long Tianhao instantly understood the cunning meaning in those penetrating eyes.
He flicked his fingers slightly, and in an instant, a small stone silently hit one of the people's knees.
"Ouch! My foot! "
In an instant, the box fell on one of the people's feet, and the cry of pain, which was too late to hide, was instantly suppressed by the other person's hand.
"Lower your voice! Don't alarm them! "
Lin Mengya almost laughed out loud. Long Tianhao was really telepathic with her.
In this way, there would definitely be people who would go to the competition with a limp tomorrow.
Well, this was the price of greed.
In the end, the box was carried away. Lin Mengya stood by the window, watching the group of gradually disappearing figures, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
At that time, no matter for what purpose, Nan Rui and the others gave the box with an abstruse secret to Zuo Qiuyu. The purpose was to make him a scapegoat.
Nevertheless, Zuo Qiuyu was a member of the royal family and the younger brother of the current emperor. The transcendent power and status made it destined that this matter could only be a private event for themselves and a few trusted subordinates.
Therefore, the number of people in the Pavilion of Herbs who knew the truth could be counted on two hands.
As for the others, they might not have no intention of becoming the First Elder.
Therefore, she deliberately allowed Yu An to quarrel with the disciple guarding the door while she went to the ice cellar to stay there for a while.
In the end, he purposely chose a more 'hidden' route just to move a block of ice.
All the signs indicated that Yu An must have been instructed by Lin Mengya.
Naturally, many people would assume that Yu An had taken something extraordinary out of the ice cellar.
In this way, of course, many people would come to Lin Mengya's place to hunt for treasures.
Unfortunately, these people did not know Lin Mengya's usual style of doing things. Otherwise, they would rather die than come to Lin Mengya's place to look for trouble.
The people gradually disappeared into the distance. The disciples guarding outside were also sent away by someone with ulterior motives.
In fact, there was nothing in the big box. Apart from the big block of ice brought by Yu An, there were also a few big stones which she had specially asked someone to get for her.
This box was previously used to store valuables, so it was unbelievably heavy.
These people usually could not carry it with their hands or carry it on their shoulders.
It had been hard on them to move these burdens away.
After making sure that the noises outside had completely disappeared, the two rooms were quietly lit up with candlelight.
"Your Highness, you're so accurate. Those people had indeed come to steal the box. If they knew that there was nothing in the box, would they die of anger? "
Yu An gloated as he covered his mouth with his hand.
Lin Mengya also took off the ridiculous headgear and her eyes shone with a cold light.
"They are so eager to bite each other. How would they find out that there were only ice and stones in the box? However, they did not suffer a loss because I had placed something in the box. "
Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu looked at Lin Mengya with some doubts in their eyes.
This lass was very sly. Since she had said that she had placed something in the box, it must be something extraordinary.
"Alright, since the spies have been lured away by them, let's get down to business." It was time for us to get down to business. "
He knew that Lin Mengya was not doing this just to spite him.
There was a doting look in Long Tianyu's eyes, as if he was a parent who was showing off his child.
Look at how intelligent and quick-witted his princess was!
Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An both chose to ignore this guy's complacency.
After all, business was more important.
The four of them changed into the night clothes that Lin Mengya had prepared in advance. Although the inner courtyard was filled with the official disciples and pharmacists of the Pavilion of Herbs, there were still guards in charge of patrolling.
Especially the residences of the elders. Even Elder Chang's residence was usually guarded by a group of people.
This was especially so for the residences of the elders. Even Elder Chang's residence was usually guarded by a group of people.
With Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu's martial arts skills, it was not difficult for them to evade these guards.
It was only when Lin Mengya saw Yu An's agile movement of jumping over the wall that she suddenly realized something.
Among the four of them, she was the only one who was a burden who did not know how to do anything.
Fortunately, Long Tianyu did not care. Instead, he carried her in his arms and with a light leap, they were out of the courtyard and the symbolic courtyard wall.
At this moment, there was only one destination for the four of them.
Too many things had happened in the inner courtyard today. Presumably, all the people involved had not fallen asleep yet.
Whether it was Nan Rui, the Duanmu Family, or the Qian Family, they had all gathered their trusted subordinates to conspire together.
Therefore, when Lin Mengya and her companions arrived at their destination, there were only two groups of patrolling soldiers and two disciples who were so bored that they were swatting flies to keep watch.
A breeze blew past. No one noticed that the four of them had deftly jumped over the wall that was taller than a person.
Lin Mengya landed lightly on the ground and finally broke free from Long Tianyu's arms.
She turned around and glanced at the surroundings. Fortunately, it was quiet and not a single person could be seen.
"What are we doing here?"
Zuo Qiuyu raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
If he was not mistaken, this was the pharmacy in the inner courtyard of the Pavilion of Herbs.
More importantly, the first competition for the position of the Chief Elder would be held here tomorrow.
However, he had already distinguished himself and become the first person to advance to the next round.
What was the reason for Lin Mengya to make such a big fuss? "Of course, I'm here to wreak havoc!"
They swaggered into the pharmacy.
The smell of medicine was many times stronger than that of the Court of Imperial Physicians in Dajin. In an instant, the Shen Nung system became active.
Even Lin Mengya was a little stunned by the amount of medicinal herbs stored here.
If it were not for the special circumstances, she would really like to visit this legendary and unique pharmacy in the world.
Shrugging her shoulders, the four of them groped their way into the pharmacy in the dark.
"It's so dark here. Your Highness, how do you know where the medicinal herbs they need are?"
Yu An was extremely excited at this moment. Perhaps he had suppressed his emotions too much in the past.
Ever since he started working for Lin Mengya, Lin Mengya's pranks seemed to open a new door in his life.
He looked even more eager than Lin Mengya.
"I think it's the innermost room."
Lin Mengya sniffed the air forcefully and reached out her hand to point at the dark pharmacy.
In fact, they were just lucky.
If not for the sake of fairness, no one was allowed to enter the pharmacy without permission these few days.
Otherwise, there would be disciples on duty in the pharmacy every night.
Therefore, the four of them walked to the innermost room in a few steps. Unsurprisingly, they saw the big black lock on the door.
"It's really here. Mengya, your nose is even more sensitive than a dog's!"
He looked at Lin Mengya in astonishment.
Although Zuo Qiuyu knew that Lin Mengya's sense of smell was several times better than that of ordinary people, he did not know that she could distinguish the difference among the various medicinal fragrances.
"Now is not the time to flatter her. Think of a way to get this thing down. Otherwise, we would have come here in vain. "
Lin Mengya did not think much of it. With the Shen Nung system, it was only a matter of time for her to find tens of thousands of herbs.
Moreover, from the first time she met them, she had discovered that the smell of the herbs on them was the most unique among all the people in the Pavilion of Herbs.
According to the procedure, they were supposed to bring the puzzle they had solved here personally.
Therefore, she only needed to analyze that the smell of the herbs was unique to those few elders. Naturally, she would be able to find the place.
If she did not have a foolproof plan, why would she come up with a plan to lure them away?
"Click." The crisp sound was exceptionally clear in the dark.
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianhao, who was expressionless as he held the black lock in his hand, and could not help giving him a thumbs-up.
The royal family was indeed an elite education. They could even cultivate such skills. It was really amazing.
Long Tianhao smiled, turned around and pushed open the door of the pharmacy.
In an instant, Lin Mengya frowned when she smelled the pungent smell of herbs.
Although the room wasn't completely dark, it looked a little strange under the moonlight.
Long Tianhao was about to take the lead, but Lin Mengya reached out and stopped him.
"There's a mechanism here."
Her words made the other three people stop what they were doing.
The four of them stood in a line at the door. Apart from Lin Mengya, the other three looked puzzled.
A mechanism? Where was it? However, none of the three of them could see any flaws in it.
