Since the generation of Zuo Qiuyu's father, the emperor, these rebels and traitors had never stopped.
Later on, when Zuo Qiuyu was 15 years old, someone took the risk of poisoning the two princes in order to usurp the throne.
If Master Yuan had not risked his life to test the poison on himself, Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen might have died without knowing the reason.
Later on, those people sent soldiers to hunt them down. It was Master Yuan and his friends who tried their best to send Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu back to the palace.
Later on, Master Yuan returned to the Pavilion of Herbs and the two of them continued to write to each other.
However, Master Yuan had been in poor health because of the poison test.
"Master told me in his last letter that those people were going to harm me and my brother, the emperor, and asked us to be extra careful. Moreover, Master said that I was too weak and unsuitable to live in the palace. Therefore, he asked a close friend in Dajin to arrange for me to stay in his friend's house and pretend to be the son of Master's close friend. Master also said in the letter that although he was injured, he had found a suitable place to recuperate. I didn't expect this to happen. "
After Zuo Qiuyu recounted what had happened, Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya fell silent.
Zuo Qiuyu was not the only one who had experienced the internal strife of the imperial power. Long Tianyu had also experienced it.
Master Yuan was not the first person who had sacrificed his life for this, but he would definitely not be the last.
After a while, Zuo Qiuyu heaved a sigh of relief.
He had kept these things in his heart for a long time. Now, his master's remains had been found. Although he was heartbroken, at least there was a solution to this matter.
However, he could not help but feel inconsolable.
"In this case, Cousin Yu, you should work hard to fight for the position of the Chief Elder. Master Yuan is a righteous person. If you take over the Pavilion of Herbs, you will not let down his sacrifice and you will be able to inherit his will. If this position is inherited by someone else, I'm afraid that countless dirty water will be poured on Mr. Yuan. "
Lin Mengya's words puzzled Zuo Qiuyu.
"Don't forget that in order to inherit the position of the Chief Elder, one must ascertain whether the Chief Elder has really passed away. Otherwise, even if someone won, they would only be promoted to a substitute elder. As you can see, it's not that they don't know that the First Elder died in the stone chamber. If one of them wins, what do you think they will do? "
Lin Mengya's words woke him up.
Zuo Qiuyu was infuriated, so all he could think of was to avenge Master Yuan.
However, he had forgotten that his master had already passed away, and he had died together with the Great Elder.
Therefore, he became the best scapegoat.
"Are you saying that they will push all the blame on my master?"
Lin Mengya nodded. Although it was difficult to open the stone door, it did not mean that they could not find a way in.
However, this method would definitely require a lot of manpower.
Therefore, only after inheriting the position of the Great Elder could he logically open the door to the sacrificial stone chamber.
At that time, their mouths belonged to them. No matter what, it was still their upper lip that had the final say.
"Damn it!"
They didn't expect that their Master had been cautious all his life and sacrificed his life for them.
He actually had to bear such a bad reputation.
Those people deserved to die!
"It's useless to be angry now. I guess they must think that those who fell into the tunnel have been trapped to death. Next, they will investigate one by one to find out who had fallen into the tunnel. We'd better deal with this carefully. "
If she guessed correctly, the other party's attention would be focused on her.
Although no one would deliberately publicize the ice cubes and stones in the box, it was not a secret after all.
Perhaps by now, someone would have guessed that she was deliberately playing a trick on those idiots.
It was too much of a coincidence that someone fell into the stone chamber when they were moving the things away.
Therefore, if they used their brains, Lin Mengya and Zuo Qiuyu would be the biggest suspect.
However, they did not dare to do it openly. Therefore, many people must have come to spy on them during the day when they were sleeping.
Instead, they saw that none of them were missing an arm or a leg, and they were still sleeping leisurely.
Therefore, they had no choice but to rule them out as suspects.
"Your Highness, Elder Chang is here."
The moment he finished speaking, Yu An's voice was heard from outside.
The few of them looked at each other. Although Chang Tianhua could be considered as one of them. However, there were some things that the fewer people who knew, the safer it would be.
In a short moment, the three of them reached a consensus.
Just when the agreement was reached, Chang Tianhua's thin figure appeared in their sight.
Chang Tianhua heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the three of them were calm and unruffled.
A rare, relaxed smile appeared on his dark and skinny face.
"I told Cousin Yu just now that I'm going to pay my respects to Elder Chang. Look, it's only been a few days, but my right arm can move now. Last night, these two guys made a scene because of this. "
Lin Mengya smiled faintly and took the initiative to greet Elder Chang.
She invited him to sit down and served him tea before Chang Tianhua spoke.
"Actually, it's because you have a good foundation. Oh yes, it's not convenient for you to go out these few days. Moreover, the palace is not as peaceful as before. Therefore, it's better not to go out if you can. "
Hearing Chang Tianhua's words, Lin Mengya and the other two pretended to be surprised.
"We don't know about this. May I ask, Elder Chang, what happened outside? Why is it that early in the morning, in this courtyard and outside, I don't see anyone hard? "
Chang Tianhua took a sip of tea and pondered for a moment before he lowered his voice and said,
"You also know that they hide everything from me. Therefore, I'm like a blind man here. However, this matter has blown up. It's said that a thief sneaked into the pharmacy last night and did something bad. However, the disciples who were guarding the pharmacy did not catch the thief. They only said that he was injured. Now, those old men are sending people to investigate one by one. "
Hearing this, Lin Mengya nodded calmly.
"I see. Sigh, the moral degeneration of the world is getting worse and worse. Fortunately, the three of us did not leave the pharmacy last night. The disciples who were guarding outside can testify. Therefore, we are less suspicious. "
Lin Mengya said this to reassure Chang Tianhua.
Long Tianyu was a vigilant person. He knew that Chang Tianhua had sent someone to check on the three of them early in the morning.
However, when he saw that even Yu An was sleeping soundly without any precaution, he stood guard outside for them.
This could be considered as a witness for the three of them.
As for the disciples who were sent away, they naturally knew that they were in the wrong.
If they told the truth, they would definitely be punished. They might as well insist that they had never left the pharmacy last night.
In this way, even if the elders were suspicious of Lin Mengya and the other two, they would not be able to find anything wrong with them.
Elder Chang had personally come to the pharmacy to ascertain if the three of them were the ones who had made a scene last night.
Although they were all united because of their own interests, Lin Mengya trusted Elder Chang more because he had done his best.
"That's great. I'm just worried that you might be wrongly accused. It's getting late, and I have to take my leave. Oh yes, you must be extra careful these few days. Sigh, the Pavilion of Herbs is no longer what it used to be when Mr. Shen Xie was around. "
Lin Mengya felt sad when she heard Chang Tianhua's sentiments.
After sending Chang Tianhua off, Lin Mengya suddenly remembered the name he mentioned. It was Shen Xie.
When she returned to the guest room, Zuo Qiuyu had already arranged for the remains of the Chief Elder and Master Yuan to be placed in a suitable place.
Long Tianyu was the only one in the room now. However, he seemed to be deep in thought at this moment.
When he heard Lin Mengya's footsteps, he slowly lifted his head to look at Lin Mengya and gave her a warm smile out of habit.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Mengya sat beside Long Tianyu. She had a hunch that the matter here would soon come to an end.
Although she had not spent a long time with Zuo Qiuchen, she knew that he was a decisive person.
In fact, she had suddenly realized something. The reason why Zuo Qiuchen had followed them here secretly was to do something in the dark.
Zuo Qiuchen was merely a cover on the surface.
Speaking of which, they had fallen into Zuo Qiuchen's trap.
Qian Yuming and the others did not know how to restrain themselves. Therefore, Zuo Qiuchen must have collected a lot of evidence.
He was just waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
Lin Mengya also knew that this opportunity was not far away.
After doing this, they had to return to the State of Jin.
This time, they had been away for a long time. Even she was a little homesick.
"It's nothing. I just feel that being born into the royal family, there are too many things to bear."
Lin Mengya was stunned by his words. She said casually,
"Why don't you come with me and be an ordinary rich man's son in the Nation of Lintian? I think my cousin will definitely welcome you. "
Long Tianyu immediately shook his head gently and said,
"No, I can't abandon my father and mother. Moreover, if the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Dajin will only be buried in his hands. At that time, the people will have no way to live and the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. This is not what I want. "
Lin Mengya lowered her head and looked at the teacup in her hand. She covered her face and no one could see her expression.
"What if I want you to stay here? Will you stay here? "
There was a hint of temptation in her tone.
Long Tianyu hesitated for a moment and then said slowly,
