"What should we do, Master? The mansion is in a mess. Eldest Young Master … Eldest Young Master has been taken to the prison of the magistrate of the Capital City! "
Baizhi was from the Lin family, so she was worried about the Lin family as much as Lin Mengya was.
Lin Mengya forced herself to calm down when she saw the little girl's anxious look.
If her brother's guards could come to report, it meant that her brother was completely controlled.
Even if he was taken to the prison of the magistrate, there were still ways to send the news out.
Or perhaps, Big Brother had already made arrangements beforehand. He didn't want her to worry, so he wouldn't let anyone come to tell her until the last minute.
But since her brother came to her for help, she had to calm down. Otherwise, whether it was her brother or her, they would be hurt in the end.
"Baizhi, go and do what I just told you. My brother is in trouble, so we can't make mistakes. "
After sending Baizhi out, Lin Mengya forced herself to sit on the chair. All kinds of thoughts kept spinning in her mind.
"Now, what do you want to do? Go to the palace to meet the emperor, or go to find Long Tianhao? "
What Qinghu said was indeed what Lin Mengya was thinking.
But Lin Mengya was more clear that this time, without the emperor's permission, who dared to arrest her brother, a military officer?
Unless her brother had been caught by someone, even the Emperor couldn't exonerate him.
Moreover, the emperor ordered her father to go to the Capital City. Most likely, Long Yan's rage was already within his expectations.
"Master, there is Eunuch Yu outside. He said that he came to the mansion to read the imperial edict on the emperor's order."
Hongyu looked a little strange, so did Lin Mengya. She was confused.
At this time, Long Tianhao should be in the imperial study, discussing something with the emperor. What kind of imperial edict was it that had to be announced now?
Moreover, Eunuch Yu —
Lin Mengya suddenly thought of a thin figure. Could it be Eunuch Yu?
"Come in, I'll go to see him right away."
Lin Mengya tidied up her clothes. Eunuch Yu was an old acquaintance of her father.
Back then, when she treated the emperor in the palace, he took good care of her.
If it was Eunuch Yu, Lin Mengya would feel a little relieved.
She led a few maids out of the courtyard and into the reception hall.
As expected, the person sitting on the chair was none other than Eunuch Yu Qiangyu.
However, at this moment, Eunuch Yu seemed to have a lot on his mind. His two dashing eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
Lin Mengya secretly felt that something was wrong. However, now that things had come to this, she could only let nature take its course.
"It's been a while since we last met, but Senior is still full of energy. This junior admires you greatly."
Hearing Lin Mengya's voice from outside the door, Yu Qiang immediately got up from the chair. After bowing respectfully to her, he opened his mouth and said.
"You flatter me, Your Highness. This matter is urgent, Your Highness, please accept the imperial edict."
Why was he in such a hurry? Lin Mengya frowned, but she still knelt in front of Yu Qiang with her maids.
Looking at the daughter of his old friend, Yu Qiang could only gently shake his head. Then, he opened the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.
"Although the Third Princess Consort Lin comes from a noble family, she is not virtuous enough. Considering what she has done in the past, her merits offset her faults, I immediately deprive her of the position of Princess Consort and demote her to a concubine. I order her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors. She is not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned.
The imperial edict brought by Yu Qiang made Lin Mengya furious.
It was no wonder that her brother did not send someone to inform her until he was caught. It was no wonder that Long Tianhao was hurriedly invited to the palace early in the morning. It was no wonder that the Emperor insisted on calling her father back from the border regardless of the crisis at the border.
It turned out that the Lin family had become the battlefield of the game between the husband and wife at this moment.
Lin Mengya's heart was cold. Even if the emperor did not care about saving his life, he should more or less give the Lin family a way out for the sake of her father's years of loyalty.
However, she did not expect that accompanying the emperor was like accompanying a tiger. Whether it was her or her father. They were just bargaining chips in the emperor's hands to gain benefits.
"Your Highness, I know this is really difficult to accept. However, the situation is critical now. Your Highness, please understand the emperor's painstaking efforts. "
Yu Qiang could not bear to look at the woman in front of him and showed a heartbroken expression.
However, after living in the palace for many years, he had seen through everything.
The emperor's grace was like flowing water. Especially in recent years, he had fought side by side with his comrades. But he could no longer guess the emperor's thoughts.
For example, this time, the emperor not only did not listen to the child's explanation about Lin Nansheng's matter, but also summoned Brother Muzhi back with an imperial edict.
Now, the emperor was afraid that his son would be implicated, so he deprived Lin Mengya of the position of Princess Consort.
Wasn't this pushing the Lin family into the fire pit?
However, he could not disobey. If Lin Mengya had to know this news, he would rather be the one to read the imperial edict.
"Of course, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Senior Yu, thank you for your trouble. I, Lin Mengya, accept this imperial edict. Someone, go get the imperial edict of His Majesty's marriage and Wangfei's official robes. "
Lin Mengya reached out and took the imperial edict in Yu Qiang's hand.
However, she could not help but show a cold smile on her face.
In fact, when she was in the Nation of Lintian, Cousin Chen told her to be careful of the Jin Yuan Emperor.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy. In fact, she was not very surprised.
"This … Forget about the crown. Your Highness, you know that the situation in the imperial court is not stable now. The matter of your brother has caused turmoil in the imperial court. In fact, the emperor did this because … "
"Of course I know that the emperor had no choice but to do this. Senior, don't worry. Although I'm young and immature, I understand these principles. Therefore, I won't make things difficult for you. However, I have some errands to run in my mansion, so I won't keep you here. Senior, please tell His Majesty about this. Tell him that I, Lin Mengya, accept the imperial edict and thank him for his kindness. "
Yu Qiang could not blame Lin Mengya for venting her anger. He also felt that the emperor was wrong. After letting out a sigh, he finally got up and bid farewell to the others before leaving.
Lin Mengya held the imperial edict in her hand, but her face was gloomy.
The rest of the maids were furious.
"The emperor is too good at burning bridges after crossing the river! Back then, my miss didn't want to marry, so they forced her to marry. Now, it's just a small matter. The emperor is the first to make an example of my miss! "
Baizhi was really angry. She knew best how the Lin family was forced to marry and how her miss was stuffed into the bridal sedan chair.
Now, the eldest young master had just been wronged, and her miss, who had finally become the princess, was deprived of it by the emperor. Naturally, she felt wronged for her master.
"Master, are you okay?"
Hongyu's eyes never left Lin Mengya, although her master did not show much emotion on her face.
However, her jade-like hands holding the imperial edict so tightly that they turned white. Obviously, her master's mind must be full of ups and downs. It was indescribable.
"I'm fine. I'm fine!"
Good, very good!
Lin Mengya almost wanted to applaud the emperor's ruthlessness in her heart.
Didn't he just want to take back the military power through the Lin family?
However, the empress also had her eyes on this fat piece of meat. She didn't know who would get this hot potato in the end.
Since the emperor was heartless, he shouldn't blame her for being unjust!
Even if the emperor wanted to sacrifice the Lin family, the Lin family had to make the couple lose a few teeth.
"Come on, move everything in Prince Yu's Mansion! Move all my things back to the Lin family! Everyone will go back to the Lin family with me. If anyone asks, tell them that I'm going back home to be disciplined under the emperor's order! "
No one expected Lin Mengya to respond like this.
They stared blankly at their master, as if what she had just said was a joke.
"What are you looking at? Move! Also, leave all the things that the emperor gave to Prince Yu as his princess, so that Prince Yu can look at them and think of her! "
Lin Mengya was really angry, but she knew one thing better than anyone else.
Long Tianhao definitely didn't know about it. Moreover, the emperor had probably used various reasons to keep him in the palace now.
Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't be so anxious to let Yu Qiang, who had a friendship with her, read the imperial edict.
He just wanted to act first and report later. Once the imperial edict was issued, she and Long Tianhao had to be obedient.
In this case, they shouldn't blame her for taking drastic measures in return!
She saved the emperor's life with her own hands. If the emperor forgot it, she would remind him well, lest he live a too comfortable life.
Lin Mengya had never been so angry. In the past, she had been too considerate of the overall situation, so the emperor had an illusion that he could manipulate her at will.
Yes, the Lin family was indeed loyal. Her father and brother were indeed willing to die on the battlefield for the country without regret.
However, this didn't mean that the Lin family could be bullied by others!
Lin Mengya clenched the imperial edict in her hand, and a cold smile slowly appeared in her heart.
She wanted to let the emperor know that some imperial edicts had better not be issued carelessly. Otherwise, she would wreak havoc in the entire State of Jin!
"Qinghu, send someone to inform my father personally. Tell him to resign from his position in the Ministry of War as soon as he returns to the capital city. Also, send a letter to Zuo Qiuchen, saying that I officially accept the title of princess of the Nation of Lintian! Be quick. Remember, you can only send your confidants, not the people of Sanjue Hall. "
Qinghu looked at Lin Mengya, who was becoming more and more composed, with a smile on his face.
