The courtyard was not eye-catching. Even among the surrounding buildings, it was just the most ordinary one.
It was not until she entered that she found that there was a world inside.
With the guidance of the eunuch, Lin Mengya found that the richly ornamented beams and painted rafters inside were far from the wealth of ordinary families.
Even if it was just the emperor's courtyard, it still had a royal style.
Passing through the front yard, soon, a small pavilion in the middle of the lake appeared in front of her.
The eunuch respectfully led her to the edge of the small stone bridge. He just bowed slightly and quietly left.
Lin Mengya glanced at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Sure enough, a dark red figure was sitting upright with his back to her.
After thinking about it, Lin Mengya still calmly stepped forward and gradually walked to the position of that person.
"You're here."
Even if she knew the answer, Lin Mengya still did not dare to be presumptuous.
She walked up to the man, bowed slightly, and then lowered her head and said softly.
"Your Majesty, I, Lin Mengya, respectfully greet you."
The emperor's face was as usual, and he still looked kind. But in Lin Mengya's eyes, he only felt that it was hypocritical and ridiculous.
In the past, she thought that the emperor was a rare benevolent and righteous ruler. Now, after all kinds of experiences, she understood that the so-called benevolent ruler was nothing more than this.
"Sit down. You and I are a family. You don't have to be so distant."
Until now, the emperor still said that they were a family.
Now Lin Mengya no longer believed a word from him. She still sat beside the emperor respectfully and politely. There was only the relationship between the emperor and the minister.
"I don't dare. I don't know why Your Majesty summoned me in such a hurry."
Seeing Lin Mengya's polite and alienated attitude, the emperor sighed slightly.
"You're just like your mother, stubborn and stubborn. In fact, you became Yu 'er's wife not only because of their plot, but also because I deliberately acquiesced. Do you know the reason for this? "
Was he playing the family card again? But now Lin Mengya had long been unmoved.
Looking into the distance, the emperor seemed to be recalling some past events that should have been covered in dust long ago.
Although Lin Mengya was still so silent, it still did not affect the emperor's statement.
"Back then, your mother's medical skills were superb, and she was famous in the capital. Even my Imperial Mother had to rely on your mother's benevolence to be able to live out her final years in peace. Therefore, I have always been extremely grateful to your mother. "
The more she said, the more Lin Mengya felt that Emperor Jinyuan's shamelessness was breaking new limits.
"It's just that you really don't understand my painstaking efforts. Although I demoted you to a side concubine because of your appearance, family background, and Yu 'er's love for you, in the future, the position in the palace will definitely be yours. Unfortunately, you're so willful. You've wasted my painstaking efforts. "
Lin Mengya lowered her head. Perhaps in Emperor Jinyuan's eyes, she was thinking or regretting.
In short, he couldn't see her expression.
Jin Yuandi was confident that he would be able to persuade this woman and achieve his goal.
Unexpectedly, Lin Mengya was still motionless. The emperor had some doubts in his heart, but he was still sure of his judgment that Lin Mengya must be able to be used by him.
Now, he just needed some time to digest it.
"According to what you said, my brother was wronged. Your Majesty, are you going to tell me that it was just an accident?"
Lin Mengya suddenly raised her head and looked at Emperor Jinyuan fearlessly.
"Or, you don't know anything about the Empress and the Shangguan family conspiring to kill my mother and the people of the Lin family?"
Emperor Jinyuan had never thought that a little woman would dare to question him like this.
Moreover, Lin Mengya's words turned out to be the deepest secrets of the Lin family. Even Lin Muzhi might not be fully aware of these things.
However, the Jin Yuandi Emperor was indeed astute. Even if his secret was exposed, he was still unperturbed.
It was as if everything here was still under his control.
"Regarding this matter, I will naturally return justice to your Lin Family in the future. There are some things that you must know only a little. Moreover, I have never forgotten how those rebels and traitors disobeyed me. If it weren't for your Lin family's desperate support, how could I have come to this day? "
Emperor Jinyuan tried his best to persuade her again. Lin Mengya only felt that the emperor in front of her was like a fox in human skin.
His mouth was full of lies that no one would believe even a single word of it. But he still looked so sincere. Lin Mengya really didn't know who he was doing it for.
Anyway, as the only audience, Lin Mengya only felt that these words were disgusting.
"Yes, you haven't forgotten. So, you let others kill my mother and force your wife's sister to marry my father. I was poisoned silly and forced into the bridal sedan chair to be poisoned and killed. Now my brother has been wronged. Are all these things because you have no choice? "
"How dare you!"
Lin Mengya's repeated rebuttals finally made Emperor Jinyuan lose his composure.
He slammed his big hand on the table and even shook off the smooth white cup lid.
His heroic face and stern aura had firmly locked on Lin Mengya.
She was so keen that she had long discovered that the small courtyard where the emperor was was actually full of killing intent.
As long as he gave the order, he could lose his life in the Yellow Springs.
Unfortunately, Lin Mengya never knew the meaning of the word "fear".
"How dare I? As you can see, I am indeed presumptuous. However, I have something that I must say. If I die, your most beloved son, your most trusted subject, will vanish into thin air in an instant. With all due respect, I'm afraid that with your health, you can't wait to cultivate another prince who can replace Prince Yu, can you? "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, and there was no longer any pretense of respect and gentleness.
Emperor Jinyuan looked at her in a daze. The woman's face seemed to be able to control everything, which was really too much like her mother's.
How good would it be if he was the one who met her back then …
The irrelevant emotions gradually faded.
Emperor Jinyuan finally recognized the reality.
The woman in front of him was his daughter and the woman his son loved most.
However, women like them were destined to run in the opposite direction of their path to becoming an emperor.
His rage slowly turned into calmness. Even he had to admit that what Lin Mengya said was true.
It would be more than he gained if he killed her. But now, she could no longer stay by his son's side.
Emperor Jinyuan, who had restrained his killing intent, was at his most terrifying moment.
He glanced at Lin Mengya coldly, turned around, and left with a flick of his sleeve.
"If you want your brother to live, you'd better disappear from Yu 'er's side. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
The emperor's ruthless decision came from afar.
Lin Mengya stood there, but she only felt as if something had been cut in her heart, which was painful and stuffy.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He murmured in a low voice, as if he was talking to her.
She understood that the emperor ordered someone to bring her here quietly to warn her. Even if she was under the strict protection of everyone, she still couldn't escape from his hands.
Be it the Empress or the Shangguan family, even they themselves did not know that the most cunning fox and the cruelest hunter had already planned everything for them in the Imperial City.
"Master, are you all right, Master?"
A familiar exclamation suddenly came from behind.
Lin Mengya immediately turned around and saw Baiji, whose eyes were red.
Baiji hurriedly ran up to her and looked her up and down, as if she was afraid that something would happen to her. It was not until she was sure that she was as good as before that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's all my fault. If I had been more alert, you wouldn't have encountered such danger. By the way, the people who took me away didn't hurt me, and now they let us all go inexplicably. Master, who do you think they belong to? "
Lin Mengya looked up and saw that the courtyard, which was full of danger just now, had been completely evacuated.
If she guessed correctly, the two sedan bearers had also been released unharmed.
The emperor was the emperor. He always did things in a watertight way. No wonder he could hide it from the Shangguan family for so many years.
All of a sudden, she felt that she had risked her life to cure the emperor, which seemed to be a stupid thing to do.
"Nothing. It's probably someone's prank. Let's go back. My family must be worried. "
Lin Mengya hid her true emotions in the deepest part of her heart, so no one could see through her mind.
Just like today, the sudden confrontation seemed to be the most dangerous and reckless move, but in fact, it was a plan that Lin Mengya had chosen after thinking about it for a long time.
If the emperor in the palace was an old fox, then she was also a young hunter who dared to plot against the fox.
An inexplicable smile slowly appeared at the corner of Lin Mengya's mouth.
Did the emperor think that this was the end? She would let him know that all this was just the beginning!
As Lin Mengya had expected, the guards who had been secretly watching over her had returned to Marquis Zhennan's Mansion.
The news of her mysterious disappearance had also spread throughout the Lin family with their return.
Therefore, from the moment she entered the mansion, she had to endure the baptism of the eyes of her family members over and over again.
Baizhi, the wicked girl, had even mysteriously asked them a few childhood secrets that only the two of them knew.
It was not until they were sure that the smiling guy in front of them, who seemed to be in a good mood, was really their mysterious master who had been missing for two hours, that they were relieved.
"Don't be so nervous. They don't dare to kill me now. Don't worry. As long as I don't do it myself, it will be firmly around my neck. "
