Since Lin Mengya came back from the study, she no longer went out of Liuxin Courtyard, although she still had a faint smile on her face.
Jiang Ruqin and Lin Mengwu didn't leave, but because of Lin Mengya, they didn't abuse their power in a big way.
All the servants in the mansion rejoiced at the result, except for the few in the Liuxin Courtyard.
"Do you think Master quarreled with Prince Yu?" Baishao lowered her voice and looked at the door of the main room worriedly.
Since they had nothing to do, the four of them, including Lin Zhongyu, sat in a small pavilion in the Liuxin Courtyard and talked secretly.
"I don't think so. Master and Prince Yu are on good terms. Don't worry about it. It'll be bad if Master hears it. "
Baiji, the eldest among them, was very popular. She was the one who mended the three little fellows' clothes and shoes, regardless of whether they were torn or broken.
Therefore, she had the right to speak.
"My sister is not so narrow-minded. I think it must be those two vixens who made my sister angry!"
Lin Zhongyu's beautiful face was full of anger. Recently, he realized that his sister's life was not as glamorous as it seemed.
But he had no way to help his sister.
If only he wasn't so useless.
Compared with the gossip group outside, the group in the room was even weirder.
Lin Mengya was sitting at the desk, writing and drawing, while Qinghu was lying on the couch leisurely.
"Little girl, no matter what I say, you can be called a feast for the eyes, right? You heartless little thing, every time you see me, you pretend not to see me. "
Qinghu was still talking in a casual tone, but Lin Mengya, who was used to it, didn't care at all.
These days, Qinghu was still stealing imperial edicts, but he had more and more time.
According to him, the buyer was also impatient, so he didn't have to deal with the task anymore.
"If you really become a rapist, I warn you, stay away from the people in my courtyard. Otherwise, I don't mind castrating you and sending you to the palace to be a eunuch. "
Without raising his head, he gave Qinghu a warning to shut up.
After a while, Qinghu, who was really bored, walked over slowly and looked at the piece of paper that Lin Mengya had been working on since the morning.
It was filled with words that he didn't recognize.
Her slender fingers pointed at the dazzling paper that was filled with circles and dots as she curiously asked.
"Which country is this calligraphy from? How come I don't know any of them? "
Lin Mengya raised her eyelids and ticked the finger away with her pen.
"Yes, because you are uncultured."
It would be strange if she could understand it. Lin Mengya was using the memory method of her previous life to sort out what had happened recently.
First, someone had paid a large sum of money for the Peach Blossom Dock assassins to kill him.
Later, the Empress sent this Mingsha Guanyin.
In the end, it was Qinghu who stole the imperial edicts from each family.
All of this seemed to be unrelated, but her instincts told her that things weren't as simple as they seemed on the surface.
In fact, as long as Qinghu told them who the mastermind was, they would have a definite answer.
But she didn't expect that this guy was quite contractual.
No matter how she threatened or tempted him, he didn't tell her and even wandered around in her courtyard every day.
Fortunately, the three maidservants and Lin Zhongyu were his trusted subordinates. Otherwise, there might be some rumors spreading out.
"What treasure is culture? If you have it, will you be able to understand what you write? Tell me, where did you get it? "
Qinghu opened his eyes wide as if he had seen something funny.
Lin Mengya smiled helplessly and said after thinking for a while.
"If you are ugly, you should read more books. The more books you read, the more cultured you will be."
She waved her hand, rolled the large piece of paper into a ball and threw it into the wastepaper basket.
"You wicked girl! How dare you say that I am ugly? I don't want to play with you anymore! "
The smiling face next to her just a moment ago had disappeared without a trace in the next second.
Lin Mengya looked at the wastepaper basket without any surprise. Indeed, the scribbled talisman was gone.
Did he think that she didn't know that the fox was here to be a spy?
This damned fox was obviously not good enough to play infernal affairs with her.
"You four, look after the house. I'll go out for a while. I'll be back soon. "
Finally, Lin Mengya walked out of Liuxin Courtyard.
Lin Kui had been waiting for Lin Mengya in the dark. He nodded and they quietly walked to the back door of Prince Yu's Mansion.
He boarded a small carriage, which was not eye-catching at all, and gradually disappeared into the crowd.
The carriage moved very fast. Lin Mengya secretly looked around and finally stopped at an inconspicuous small door.
"This used to be the biggest teahouse in the capital city. Because of the rumor of haunting, Prince Yu bought it at a low price. The old woman's body is in the ice cellar. "
Lin Kui reported in a low voice. Lin Mengya looked around and found that she came in from the back door of this teahouse.
"Have you prepared what I asked you to prepare for me?"
Lin Kui's face changed slightly. He took out a delicate oilcloth bag from his arms.
"This is made by the best craftsman. Your Highness, you really …"
Lin Mengya nodded and took over the oilcloth bag.
"The body is the last language left by a person in this world. I must decipher it well."
This was a sentence often said by a classmate who was a forensic doctor. Lin Mengya didn't care about it before, but now she found it really made sense.
However, Lin Kui, who was behind her, felt a chill down his spine. "This princess is really bold."
They went into the ice cellar one after another. There were several people standing in the dark and cold place.
Long Tianhao stood in the innermost part and carefully looked at the swollen and deformed body with a gloomy face.
"Your Highness."
Everyone looked at Lin Mengya and saluted. She didn't care about trifles and took the initiative to walk in front of the body.
"Get out of my way. I'm going to dissect the body in a while. If you don't like it, you can leave."
Lin Mengya's words instantly changed the look in the men's eyes.
They thought that the princess was not afraid of a woman. If they, as men, flinched, wouldn't they be a joke?
But what happened next was unforgettable for them.
Without rubber gloves, Lin Mengya asked Lin Kui to prepare a clean casing and sew it.
In the oilcloth bag, there was a row of scalpels specially made by skilled craftsmen.
The mask was also made by Lin Mengya herself, with a layer of plant ash in the middle.
She carefully observed the unrecognizable body and refused to let go of any clues.
"Your Highness, is the princess a little …"
Although Zhu Qiang was a general and had killed countless people on the battlefield, he had never looked at a body so carefully.
"Don't talk, be quiet."
A cold voice came, and Zhu Qiang immediately shut up. In the future, he had to ask the prince for mercy. If he had died on the battlefield, he couldn't be treated like this by the princess.
Lin Mengya cut the old maid's clothes with a pair of scissors and dissected the body with ease.
At first, she was a little hesitant, but later, Lin Mengya was completely familiar with it.
She was so skilled as if she had done it many times.
"Your … Your Highness … How much longer do you need?"
This time, Zhu Qiang, who still had some resentment against Lin Mengya, was completely convinced.
He also became respectful to Lin Mengya.
"Well, come over and have a look."
Lin Mengya looked at those guys with pale faces. They were all men, but they were so cowardly.
She sorted out the internal organs. It seemed that she had got all A's in the anatomy course in the three years of medical school, and she had not fallen behind.
"The deceased is a woman, between 45 and 50 years old. She had given birth before. The cause of death was poisoning. According to the time of death, it was definitely not her who broke into my yard that day."
They looked at each other. Did they see a ghost?
"It's not a ghost. She is dead. Someone used her to play tricks."
Lin Mengya took off her gloves, which had been dyed dark red, and pointed to her limbs.
"Her hands and feet had been broken by someone with great force when she was alive. There are strangulation marks on her hands and feet, and her tongue has been cut off. It can be determined that it was done before she died. That is to say, this woman had been tortured to extort a confession. "
Lin Mengya looked at the greenish-white body and remained silent.
She hated killing innocent people, and there were thousands of ways to extract information.
She would not be merciful to those who had committed crimes.
However, this old maid was just an ordinary person, but she was treated like this. It could be seen that the impersonator was quite cruel.
"Lin Kui, go to the old maid's house and settle her down. Let her be buried as soon as possible."
"Wait, Lin Kui, go to buy a set of shrouds. I'm going to stitch up her body to make her look better."
Lin Mengya picked up the needle and thread, like embroidery, and began to stitch up the body.
Everyone watched silently as the princess dealt with the broken corpses one by one. In her hands, even the badly mutilated corpses finally looked a little like a human.
"Well, go to buy a coffin."
Lin Mengya put down the needle and thread in her hand, and was the first to walk out of the icehouse.
In everyone's eyes, there was a trace of emotion at the same time.
They had thought that the princess did not care about the life and death of others. But at that moment, they saw the princess's respect for a corpse.
Perhaps, they all misunderstood her.
"You …" Long Tianhao was lost in thought. That day in the study, he had criticized Lin Mengya like that.
But now, everything she did was a silent protest, a protest she made in her own way.
"Your Highness, is there really disguise in this world? If the old maid was disguised by someone else that day, how many people in the mansion are our own people, and how many are spies sent by the enemy? "
