"From today on, you're not allowed to sleep in my room!"
Lin Mengya was really angry. Every time, she was controlled by Long Tianhao in this kind of thing.
After announcing the unilateral result in a fierce voice, Lin Mengya pushed away the rice bowl and returned to the bedroom angrily.
However, it was obvious that her pretended anger had lost its effect.
Except for Long Tianhao, whose face changed, the other girls covered their mouths and burst into laughter.
"Really …"
Lin Mengya almost covered her head with a quilt. She really didn't expect that Long Tianhao would be so thick-skinned.
However, Lin Mengya was not really angry. Anyway, everyone knew her temperament. After laughing for a while, this matter was over.
Except for the people closest to her, no one else would do this.
In this way, Lin Mengya felt that she was not ashamed.
"Qinghu, has there been any movement from the Empress these days?"
In the courtyard of Liuxin Courtyard, Lin Mengya, who deliberately hid herself, still didn't go out.
Except for the people she could trust, no one else knew that she had quietly returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.
After all, the disappearance of Beauty Cheng is not a small matter. However, she didn't do anything. It is said that Concubine Hui, who is very good with Beauty Cheng, reported to Yellow Mountain that Beauty Cheng had a quarrel with you, so she disappeared in Huguo Temple. But the Emperor didn't seem to investigate further. "
Although Qinghu stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion, he was well aware of what was happening outside.
In such a big Capital City, nothing could be hidden from his eyes and ears.
Even the matters in the palace would not be unexpected.
"Concubine Hui? Haven't you heard of her before? Which palace is she from? "
In fact, Lin Mengya had already expected that the Empress would blame her.
However, she remembered that she had never met this Concubine Hui before.
Seeing Lin Mengya's puzzled eyes, Qinghu explained softly,
"This person is Jieyu Hui, who had a conflict with you in the palace before. It seems that she is promoted by the Empress. However, she seldom goes to the Empress's palace, but she is on good terms with the Imperial Noble Consort. "
Hearing Qinghu's words, Lin Mengya understood.
Her small hands were rhythmically tapping on the table a few times.
At this moment, Lin Mengya already knew what to do.
"It seems that this person is the person whom the Empress intends to testify against me. It didn't matter, the emperor wouldn't believe her words. But I'm curious, what kind of enmity does she have with me? "
Although Qinghu was powerful, he might not know all the secrets of the palace.
However, even so, with his ability, he was able to find out that Concubine Hui was on good terms with her mother-in-law. Of course, he knew very well what was going on.
"I don't know. I only know that Concubine Hui's mother and sister died in the blood feast in Chongqing Palace."
Qinghu's words reminded Lin Mengya of something that happened a long time ago.
Of course, the assassins who had suddenly appeared had killed many people. In the end, she and Long Tianhao had almost been regarded as the masterminds behind the scenes.
Could it be that Concubine Hui thought that he was the real murderer?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the only possibility that could explain Concubine Hui's unreasonable hatred for her.
But she was really wronged. What happened at that time had nothing to do with her.
But she knew that Concubine Hui must have been brainwashed by the Empress. Now, she probably thought that she was avenging her family.
Sometimes, if you were stupid, you shouldn't play the revenge drama. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you were played to death.
"I see. It seems that this matter won't end so easily. By the way, have the people we sent been arranged properly? "
Lin Mengya just thought for a while and didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing anymore.
The news that she wasn't dead would soon reach the Empress's ears. The reason why she didn't let anyone expose her whereabouts for the time being was that she wanted to seize the time and lead this matter to the other side.
At that time, no matter how the Empress fanned the flames, her crime of murdering Beauty Cheng would not be established.
"It's all ready. Now, I'm afraid that someone has already gone to the government to report it. Soon, the news that the rich young master was robbed by bandits and fell off the cliff will spread all over the city. Unfortunately, there's no trace of you in it. If the Empress and the others know about it, that old witch will be so angry that her nose will be crooked. "
Qinghu said gloatingly. He had sent people to clean up the inside and outside of the carriage.
"The Empress should have a backup plan. Didn't you say that you found some of my things from that person? Although these things are not what I often use, I asked Baizhi and the others. These things are all the dowry that I brought into the mansion before. So I think that at least before that, there should be a spy sent by the Empress around us. However, after thinking for a long time, I think that this person should have taken the opportunity to sneak in when the fake Concubine De was around. I don't know if you still remember the person named Yun Ruo? "
Although Qinghu had not been in the mansion for a long time, according to his character, Qinghu would ask someone to record everything that was related to the family, no matter how big or small.
Qinghu gently tapped his forehead with his slender fingers. He nodded to show that he still had some impression of this person.
"This person is very mysterious. My men had followed her for a period of time. But I didn't expect that she would find out. But I remember later on, wasn't this person a mysterious person? Why, do you think that this person is a spy sent by the Empress? "
In fact, Lin Mengya had never doubted that Yun Ruo was the Empress's spy.
"She is very special. When Jingyue pretended to be Concubine De, there was almost no flaw except for those close to her. But she only listened to Lin Mengya. Why do you think Jingyue would be so respectful to her if she was just the Empress's maidservant? Although Yun Ruo was just a maidservant on the surface, I once saw the jade bracelet on her wrist. It seemed to be a tribute a few years ago. Not to mention that she is just a maidservant. I don't think even Concubine Hui would have such a bracelet. "
That was why Lin Mengya felt strange.
She was to blame for not making a prompt decision at that time. She was also afraid of alerting the enemy, so that Yun Ruo had a chance to escape.
However, if Yun Ruo really had a special identity and was deeply trusted by the Empress, then Lin Mengya felt that Yun Ruo's purpose of coming to the mansion was not simple.
Could it be that she was also here for the music score for the green stringed instrument in her hands?
"Hongyu, come in quickly!"
Lin Mengya raised her voice. The four girls who were doing their own duties outside also heard her voice and came in one after another.
"Baiji, you and Baizhi immediately check the dowry I brought, including those sent by my father and brother. Remember, don't miss out on anything. Hongyu, you and Baishao, report to the magistrate's office immediately no matter what I lost. Tell them that Prince Yu's Mansion was robbed. If anyone asks about me, tell them that I've returned to the mansion long ago. Don't tell anyone else. "
The four ladies looked at each other in dismay. None of them knew what kind of medicine their master was selling in her gourd.
However, they knew that anything that had to do with their Master was a big deal.
Naturally, they did not delay and went to do their own things.
Lin Mengya sat in the room, but her mind was working quickly.
Through this game of chess with the Empress, Lin Mengya completely understood that the Empress was different from the characters she had met before.
If not for the Buddha's relic given to her by Brother Tian Ning and Qinghu's timely return, she would have become a cold corpse by now. She was afraid that she would have become a cold corpse by now. Moreover, she had brought disaster to Long Tianhao and the entire Lin family.
Therefore, the Empress definitely had a backup plan. Lin Mengya believed that once this hidden backup plan was used, she might not have the strength to resist it at all.
However, because of the precautions she had taken before, the Empress could make a move in a very limited way.
Therefore, she had to try her best to eliminate all the minefields before the Empress made a move.
"Bad news, bad news! Master, something happened to the Lin family! "
Lin Mengya was still thinking whether she had missed out anything when Baizhi suddenly ran in from outside, shouting. "What's wrong? If there's anything, we can talk it out. Don't make a big fuss and scare others. "
Qinghu frowned, caught Baizhi's body at once, and said reproachfully.
But Lin Mengya only felt that the uneasiness in her heart was gradually increasing. Could it be that the Empress's sharp sword was not held on her head, but on the Lin family?
"Outside, the First Young Master's personal guard just sent news that the First Young Master tried to kill Madam Qing but failed. Moreover, some evidence of treason was found in the First Young Master's room. At this moment, the Emperor is furious. The Emperor has ordered the Old Master to return to the capital city as soon as possible. "
Suddenly, Lin Mengya sat there in a daze. Her brain, like exploding fireworks, instantly became a vast expanse of whiteness, and she could not come to herself for a long time.
"Impossible, my brother would never do this. Who sent the news? Is it accurate? "
Lin Mengya could no longer calm down when it was related to her brother.
But Baizhi said in tears that these words were all said by the First Young Master's personal guard, and there could be no falsehood.
That was to say, her brother might really have been caught by someone, and there was irrefutable evidence?
But there was no sign before, how could it be now —
Luring the tiger away from the mountain!
Lin Mengya suddenly realized that the so-called backup plan of the Empress was actually the first opportunity that she had missed.
The Empress asked her to go to the Huguo Temple to offer incense. One reason was to get rid of her. The second reason was to use this time to divert Long Tianhao away from her.
