"His Majesty hasn't left yet? Doesn't he need to attend court? "
Lin Mengya turned around and asked in confusion while wiping the thin beads of sweat on her forehead with a cloth.
"No, His Majesty usually goes to the Jade Saint Palace to deal with state affairs and meet the court officials after breakfast. There will only be a court meeting on the first and fifteenth of each month. At other times, if there is no urgent matter, the court officials will not come to the palace. "
As Lady Jingrou's personal maid, she naturally knew the King's schedule like the back of her hand and knew it better than anyone else.
Although the country's conditions and rules were different, being a decision maker was always the same.
After tidying up her appearance, she followed behind Ning Qiu and the two of them entered Phoenix Plume Garden's sleeping quarters quietly.
Inside the bedroom, the palace maids had already prepared everything. The faint smell of breakfast in the bedroom seemed to have softened the coldness of the palace, making it feel like an ordinary family's morning.
"Your Majesty, this is Miss He Lan that I told you about. It's all thanks to her for Yu 'er's matter."
There were only a few of them in the bedroom, but Lady Jingrou still spoke in a soft voice. Apart from the four of them, no one else could hear her.
Lin Mengya abided by the rules and respectfully bowed to the King.
"I don't deserve it. It was just a coincidence."
She was not greedy and did not say much.
Even if it was Madam Jing Rou, in front of the king, she still had to be cautious. Moreover, she was only an outsider.
"Oh? I see. "
The mellow and cold words were spoken indifferently, making it hard for others to hear his true emotions.
Lin Mengya only heard the faint sound of a book being flipped, and then there was an unfathomable silence.
Kneeling on the ground, Lin Mengya's mind raced. In the end, she could only choose to obediently kneel on the ground and accept the King's indistinct gaze.
Even Lady Jingrou did not expect such a scene to happen.
The King was her son's savior, so it was not appropriate for her to kneel like this.
But after hesitating for a moment, she could only look at her husband helplessly, with a hint of disapproval in her eyes.
After a few minutes, Lin Mengya maintained this respectful attitude and knelt there motionlessly.
Wang Shangcai closed the book, and his wise and shrewd eyes fell on Lin Mengya.
"Hmm, not bad. It's suitable for your palace. Get up."
Although there was no obvious fluctuation in his tone, it was a little more amiable than before.
Lin Mengya thanked him and stood up in a dignified manner. She abided by her duty and stepped aside.
She had just understood the king's intentions. Even if she was Xiao Yu's savior, from the king's point of view, there were thousands of ways to repay her so-called kindness. There was no need to place her in Lady Jing Rou's Phoenix Plume Garden.
It would be best if she was sensible, but if she wasn't, staying by Madam Jingrou's side would bring trouble to her sooner or later.
However, Lin Mengya had always known the meaning of the word "know her place". Presumably, after the test just now, His Majesty had a preliminary feeling that she was someone who could stay in the palace.
"Miss He Lan is indeed capable. I like her very much. With He Lan by my side, you don't have to worry about me anymore, Your Majesty."
After Lin Mengya was acknowledged, Lady Jing Rou seemed to be relieved. She hurriedly put in some good words for Lin Mengya.
In front of His Majesty, Lady Jing Rou addressed herself as "I". Unlike in front of the Queen, she addressed herself as "concubine". Lin Mengya also noticed the difference between the two.
Standing in the corner, she vaguely glanced at His Majesty.
However, she was surprised to find that His Majesty was wearing half a mask for some reason.
The silver-white mask was a little abrupt on his face. The half of his face that was revealed was even more perfect than she had expected.
Perhaps when Xiao Yu grew up, he would also be like his father. He would grow out of his childishness and slowly gain the respect and heroic spirit of a leader.
However, he would definitely not be as handsome as His Majesty. The coldness that was like the edge of a knife seemed to freeze his handsomeness.
His eyes wandered, as if there was no one or anything in the world that could move him.
However, only when he saw Lady Jing Rou, his deep eyes thawed for a short moment.
However, it was only for a moment.
As if feeling Lin Mengya's gaze on him, His Majesty's sharp eyes instantly met hers for a moment.
Lin Mengya immediately stepped back, but she missed the deep shock that flashed across His Majesty's eyes.
Fortunately, His Majesty was extremely good at hiding his emotions. In the blink of an eye, his emotions had disappeared without a trace.
Other than himself, there was probably no one else present who knew about it.
After that, Lin Mengya did not care much about what His Majesty said or did.
She just felt that it was a little strange. According to what everyone said, Lady Jing Rou seemed to be the person that His Majesty placed at the top of his heart.
However, she looked at the way the two of them interacted. Lady Jing Rou was indeed tender and sweet to His Majesty and cared for him in every possible way.
However, why did His Majesty always look cold, as if he did not care much about everyone?
However, if it was to say that His Majesty treated Lady Jing Rou differently, it was indeed different.
In His Majesty's eyes when he looked at Lady Jing Rou, there was a flash of deep affection that could not be deceived.
She always felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell what it was.
In the end, she could only conclude that His Majesty probably wanted to protect Lady Jing Rou.
Life in Phoenix Wing Garden did not start easy, because Lady Jing Rou almost had to manage all the affairs in the palace.
Therefore, after breakfast, she accompanied Lady Jing Rou in the main hall to deal with all kinds of affairs.
Before noon, Xiao Chen saw a palace maid rushing to the main hall in a fluster.
"Reporting to Lady Jing, Her Majesty is suffering from an acute illness. Now all the ladies in the palace are in Her Majesty's bedroom. The medical officers are at a loss. Should we ask the High Priest to come in and take a look? His Majesty said that we still need Lady Jing Rou's permission. "
As long as His Majesty was here, Lady Jing Rou would always be the most powerful woman in this palace.
Therefore, even if it was related to Her Majesty's life, Lady Jing Rou was still the one who made the decision.
Lin Mengya unconsciously curved the corner of her mouth. But looking at the time, it was about time.
Her smile did not escape Jingrou's eyes. She calmed down and asked the palace maid to leave. After everyone left, she looked at Lin Mengya with doubt.
"Do you know anything about it?"
How would she know anything about it? Because she was the one who planned it.
Lin Mengya bowed and said in a low voice, "Lady Jing, don't panic.
"There's no need to panic, Madam. There's no need to invite the High Priest to treat you. This illness will disappear in three to five days, and Her Majesty will only suffer a little. But if Her Majesty mobilizes people to treat her cold, what do you think, Lady Jing? "
In fact, the key to the matter was the purple peony that she had dripped blood on.
One should know that her blood was the king of all poisons. As long as it was exposed to the air, even a little bit of it could kill.
Although the peony could only withstand one day, it was actually slightly poisonous because of its fragrance.
Her Majesty must love this peony very much. Although she would not put it in her bedroom, she would not be too far away from her.
In this way, it was inevitable that she would be poisoned.
As for those close to her, if they always walked around or went outside for fresh air, they would only feel a little dizzy.
Now that she had fallen ill, the people closest to her would probably have the same chain reaction as her.
Although the poison was strong, it was just the smell of the peony.
The circulatory system of the human body naturally had the function of detoxification.
If she could drink a few bowls of mung bean soup, she would be fine.
However, the poison she used was so sophisticated that even her teacher could not identify the toxicity of the poison, let alone those medical officers. Of course, she was not afraid of being caught on the spot.
As for the withered peony, it would be disposed by those palace maids. After all, who would dare to put a withered peony in the Majesty's palace?
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, the beautiful purple peony suddenly appeared in Jingrou's mind.
In the blink of an eye, she understood what Lin Mengya meant.
She looked a little hesitant, but after a while, she calmed down.
"Someone, go to Fengcheng to invite the high priest. Ask the high priest to come to Fengcheng within five days. Oh right, also invite the Priests of those tribes over as well. The Majesty's life is the most important. No one is allowed to delay it. "
Lin Mengya really admired Madam Jingrou more and more when she gave the order calmly.
She had only given a reminder, and Madam Jingrou was able to perfect this matter. This time, the Majesty would probably offend the tribes and the high priest.
The palace maids received the order and left, leaving only Lin Mengya and the other two in the main hall.
Needless to say, Ning Qiu vigilantly went to stand guard outside the door. Madam Jingrou looked at Lin Mengya hesitantly, because she really did not know how she thought of this.
"You know the importance of this matter. Although I did as you said, if someone found out, you and I would not be able to get away with it."
Lin Mengya smiled gently and filled Madam Jingrou's cup of tea with her delicate hands.
"Don't worry, Madam. The method I used is very ingenious, and I will definitely not leave any evidence. No one will be able to find out what method I used. Actually, there is something that I have always said to Madam. After so many years, Madam, haven't you had enough? "
It was not that Lin Mengya was cruel and merciless, which was why she came to the palace and found a way to poison the Majesty.
It was because, on the way, Xiaoyu had reported the situation of the three of them to Lin Mengya.
Although the mother's position was a little awkward, he was the first child of the Majesty. It was said that he was quite capable and famous, and was once one of the most powerful candidates for the position of Crown Prince.
