At this moment, the azure-blue figure was being blocked by several maids.
The leader was naturally the loyal Ning Qiu.
On the other side, there were a few women in luxurious clothes with angry expressions.
There must have been some dispute, or even Madam, who had always been tolerant, seemed to be angry.
Lin Mengya felt something was wrong. The concubines didn't dare to cross the line when the Queen or Madam Hui were not present.
Now that the Queen was sick and Madam Hui was in Linqiu Pavilion, they shouldn't be so disobedient.
As soon as she walked to Madam Hui, she saw a group of people walking over at a moderate pace.
The others were all dressed like ordinary palace servants, but the most eye-catching among them was a man dressed in a jet-green robe.
The man was only in his twenties, and he looked very handsome and valiant. He was not as frivolous as ordinary men, but more mature.
However, at this moment, there was a hint of exhaustion on the man's face.
Lin Mengya's pure eyes met with the man's inadvertent eyes.
But the next second, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What a pair of cold eyes! Lin Mengya immediately lowered her head and held Madam Jingrou to calm herself down.
She had already more or less guessed the man's identity. The only thing she did not expect was that the legendary First Prince would have such a cold look in his eyes.
Although Long Tianhao and Qinghu were in a cold state, at least they still had the aura of a living person.
But the eyes of the First Prince … were even colder than the ice and snow on the top of the Seventh Peak that never melted all year round.
That was a kind of temperature that didn't belong to a living person.
In this world, there was probably nothing that could make the First Prince care about.
No wonder even Wanyan Lie was afraid of the First Prince. He was really not a person to be trifled with.
Since all the parties had arrived, Lin Mengya naturally knew the situation in front of her.
The priests had all entered the palace. In order to show the importance of the Queen, even the First Prince, who was dealing with official affairs outside, hurried back. Therefore, the group of women who always liked to disrespect their wives dared to jump out in front of the First Prince to ask for rewards.
But they didn't know that what they did was just courting death.
"Your Highness, you've come at the right time."
They were obviously aiming for the First Prince, but at this moment, it seemed as if they had just seen the First Prince.
Immediately, a slightly treacherous voice pretended to be overjoyed and shouted out.
"Greetings, Madam Jing Rou. May I know why all of you are here?"
The eldest prince's voice was a little dull, but his tone was very gentle, as though nothing could cause the slightest ripple in his words.
His black eyes swept over the group of concubines and landed on Madam Jing Rou.
Lin Mengya could not see any hostility or respect from him towards Madam.
"It's rare for the First Prince to return to the palace. You should go to the palace to visit the Empress first."
Before Madam Jing Rou could open her mouth, a quick-witted girl said in a fawning manner.
Lin Mengya remembered that the woman was just a beauty who had entered the palace for a few years. Although she was not favored by the king, she still had some status in the palace because she flattered the Queen.
At this moment, the First Prince's gaze slowly shifted to her.
The beauty, who thought that she had caught his eye, squeezed out a fawning smile on her face.
Even Lin Mengya trembled when she saw that smile. She felt that it was too disgusting. It was not the attitude a concubine's mother should have towards a junior.
However, the First Prince was still calm and composed. He was so calm that he was almost cold-blooded.
She couldn't help but give the First Prince a thumbs up in her heart. This person was indeed extraordinary.
"Beauty Jin, I just heard that you have offended Madam Jing Rou. Is that true?"
Eh?!
Everyone, including Lin Mengya, was stumped by the First Prince's question.
Beauty Jin was the same. Her smile froze on her face. She didn't know whether to admit it or deny it.
"Men, Beauty Jin has offended her superior. She should be executed. Take her away and await punishment. "
The First Prince ordered expressionlessly. Immediately, a few guards, who looked like they were not to be trifled with, appeared and dragged Beauty Jin away before she could react.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Even Lin Mengya was stunned on the spot. For a moment, she could not understand what had just happened.
"In the palace, apart from my mother, everyone else should respect Madam Jing Rou. If anyone in the palace dares to overstep their boundaries, don't blame me for being unfilial. Please forgive me, Madam. I need to visit my mother, so I won't be accompanying you. "
The First Prince cupped his hands and bid his farewell. He was as straightforward as he came. He didn't care about the pairs of eyes staring at him.
"The First Prince, he …"
Ning Qiu swallowed her saliva. When she was arguing with the concubines just now, she had mustered up all her strength to quarrel with them.
Who knew that the matter would end like this?
Lin Mengya stared in the direction where the First Highness had disappeared, deep in thought. Although the First Highness looked like a steady person, in reality, from the way he had dealt with Jin Meiren, she could sense that something was amiss.
The main character of the opera was gone, and those people had no interest in making trouble anymore. They dispersed with their faces covered in dirt.
"Go and keep an eye on how the First Prince deals with Beauty Jin."
She whispered to the quick-witted palace maids beside her. She turned around and met her Madam's worried gaze.
"Let's go back to the palace."
It was just three words, but they seemed to contain thousands of words.
Lin Mengya nodded. She was afraid that her worries were the same as Madam's.
It was only a few dozen meters from the path to Phoenix Wing Garden.
Lin Mengya purposely lagged behind Ning Qiu and asked about the cause and effect of the matter.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal. It was just that Beauty Jin wanted to save face in front of the First Prince, so she wanted to push the blame of the Queen's illness onto Madam.
After all, before the Queen fell ill, she had gone to Phoenix Wing Garden to cause trouble.
Although they couldn't find out the cause of the Queen's illness, it wasn't difficult to smear the Queen's name. Moreover, it was difficult for the people involved to clear their names. That was why they dared to make trouble for Madam because the First Prince had returned to the palace.
Ning Qiu was naturally loyal to her Master. She tried her best to argue with the concubines.
It was just that the First Highness had interfered. Not to mention the imperial concubines, even Ning Qiu still felt that she was dreaming.
"Don't go out these few days. His Highness is going to stay in the palace soon. Help me look after him, don't let him get into conflict with the First Prince. "
That First Prince …
Lin Mengya felt that he was special. Although the concubines had gone overboard, they were doing it for his mother.
But he didn't protect her, and instead punished the instigators.
If he was just putting on an act, then this person still had some humanity. But if he wasn't, then this First Prince's thoughts were probably not ordinary.
"Alright."
In Phoenix Wing Garden, Lin Mengya had gradually become the leader.
Although Ning Qiu was older than her, she was not as meticulous as her. There were many things that Lin Mengya had to decide.
Even Madam Jingrou had acquiesced to her orders. Naturally, the others in Phoenix Wing Garden didn't dare to disobey.
Ning Qiu led the servants to the courtyard next door to clean up, in preparation for Xiaoyu's arrival.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, then brewed a cup of tea and sent it to the bedroom of Phoenix Wing Garden.
In the bedroom, Madam Jingrou frowned. She was no longer as weak as before.
Actually, many things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Although the First Prince was scheming, the Madam in front of him wasn't a naive girl.
Perhaps Madam Hui would be more tolerant towards Madam Hui.
But when it came to others, they wouldn't want to understand her methods.
"You're here. I heard that Yu 'er is coming to stay. You've done well. His Majesty and I both agree with your plan this time. "
Madam Jingrou raised her head and said softly to her.
Lin Mengya passed the warm tea in her hand to Madam. She wasn't surprised that Madam knew about the hunt for the priest.
After all, His Majesty and Madam were of the same mind. Such a big matter wouldn't be hidden from Madam.
In this way, it further confirmed one of her guesses.
Someone like His Majesty would never trust someone who had lied to him.
In this way, it further confirmed His Majesty's feelings for Madam.
"I still need His Majesty and the King of Nanshao to take care of this matter. I'm just giving you an introduction. Are you worried about the First Prince, Madam? "
Lin Mengya had no intention of dealing with that matter. She wasn't here to ask for rewards. Moreover, this matter could never be exposed. It was better to bury it in the bottom of her heart.
Madam Jingrou also had a general understanding of her character. She nodded slowly, but her eyebrows were knitted even tighter.
"In fact, His Majesty and I both hoped that Jing 'er could inherit the throne. However, after all these years, we couldn't understand that child anymore. To be a king, apart from having powerful means, one must also have a benevolent heart. You've seen it today. Jing 'er could dispose of his father's concubine in a flash. If he really inherits the throne, I'm afraid … I'm afraid that the whole Lieyun will be led astray by him. I have to thank you for this. Yu 'er has a cold temperament, but during the days he lived by your side, he taught that child to be tolerant. His Majesty and I are very surprised that Lieyun was not destroyed by the two of us. "
There seemed to be some relief between Madam Jingrou's eyebrows.
This was also the first time that Lin Mengya saw Madam Jingrou's heart clearly.
