"Sister, I still have something to do in the palace. I won't bother you any longer."
She left in a dignified manner and proudly in front of a group of dumbfounded people.
Not to mention the King, the Queen and the others, even Lin Mengya was taken aback by what she saw.
The little sheep had suddenly turned into a domineering tigress. The plot had changed so quickly.
Madam Jingrou heaved a sigh of relief when she came out of Linqiu Pavilion.
She looked at Lin Mengya with a bitter smile and her body softened.
"Madam!"
Lin Mengya and Ning Qiu called out and immediately went forward to support Madam Jingrou.
She then realized that Madam Jingrou's palms were already sweaty.
"It's alright. After so many years, I have forgotten about the past."
Lin Mengya smiled. She felt that she had to re-evaluate Madam Jingrou.
In the past, she only felt that Madam Jingrou was gentle and reserved. She didn't expect her to have such a sharp and aggressive side.
The group of people hurried back to Phoenix Wing Garden. Lin Mengya and Ning Qiu immediately helped Madam Jingrou change into her casual clothes.
A fragrant sandalwood incense burned in the bedchamber. However, it was no longer as pungent as it was in the past.
"Madam Jingrou was so impressive today. Even I was shocked. Did you see the empress's face? It was really exciting. Madam Jingrou should have shown some tolerance earlier so that she wouldn't be bullied. "
Ning Qiu said excitedly. She had suffered a lot from following Madam Jingrou all these years.
Now that Madam Jingrou was tough, she also felt that it was a good time to take revenge.
"Don't talk nonsense. According to the empress's character, she will not let me off easily. It doesn't matter. I'm just afraid that she will find trouble with you. Whether it's Helan or Ning Qiu, you are my closest people. Be careful and don't be reckless. "
Madam Jingrou naturally knew the consequences of her actions.
But the current situation did not allow her to have any regrets.
Ning Qiu nodded and went to brew tea for Madam Jingrou with a smile, leaving only Lin Mengya and Ning Qiu in the room.
Madam Jingrou turned around and looked at the puzzled Lin Mengya. Her lips curled into a smile and she beckoned for her to come over.
"Do you think that my actions are a little sudden?"
Lin Mengya had advised Madam not to be so weak.
However, Madam was mindful of what had happened in the past and endured it.
He had only met Xin Luan once, but when he turned around, he was like a ball of gunpowder. With just a few words, he had angered the First Queen to the point of exploding. It was truly inconceivable.
"It's a little sudden, but it's very satisfying. The Great Empress has been stirring up trouble for so long, it is time for Madam to suppress her. "
Lin Mengya said with a smile. She was never the kind of person who would let others bully her.
Back in the Great Jin, no matter if it was the Emperor or the Empress, she would definitely fight back fiercely if anyone provoked her.
That was why she was worried that someone like Madam, who had endured too much, would get used to it.
However, she did not expect that today, she would finally see her Madam's sharp claws and teeth that were not inferior to hers.
"In the past, I was trapped in my own trap. I always felt that I had let Hui 'er down, so I tolerated her again and again. But in the end? I almost lost my only son, and I suffered for so many years because of her. I should have repaid what I owed her a long time ago. "
Although it was reasonable, Lin Mengya still felt that Madam seemed to be hiding something from her.
However, she knew that there were some things that she should not ask. She could only wait quietly for Madam to continue.
"You're a smart child. I think you should understand what I'm saying. There's one more thing that I hope only the two of us can know. "
Madam Jingrou looked at Lin Mengya seriously, with her beautiful eyes full of seriousness.
"Please tell me, Madam."
If she wanted to know a secret, she had to have the value of keeping it.
She was not curious, but now she was in the same boat with Madam Jingrou and Xiaoyu. The more she knew, the better she could deal with it.
"When I left the Xin Family with His Majesty, it was Xin Luan who helped us. He is an extremely smart person. Even Eldest Brother and Xin Li are no match for him. Before I left the Xin Family, he told me that if we meet again one day, it will be a very critical moment. It will be a matter of life and death for my husband and my son. The last time he came, I also went to see him once, but he politely declined. But today, he came to see me. "
Madam Jingrou's expression was a little heavy. Lin Mengya finally understood why the two of them looked a little strange when they first met.
Their conversation was aimless, because their meeting itself was sending out a dangerous signal.
It was no wonder that Xin Luan wanted to return to the palace again. It was no wonder that Madam was reborn after seeing him.
It turned out that all this was traceable.
When the siblings met again, it would be the most critical moment. And now, the most important thing for them to do was to throw the Empress, the First Prince, and the others into disarray.
Madam was powerless to change things outside the palace. She could only do something about things inside the palace.
That was why Madam went to Linqiu Pavilion and completely angered the Empress. This was a convenient way. The Empress was the kind of person who could not bear this kind of humiliation.
"Madam is really decisive. However, with the Empress's power in the palace, we have poked a hornet's nest this time."
Lin Mengya smiled. In fact, she did not care about the Empress's threat.
The real scary person was the one she was going to face tonight.
"Yes, the Empress is from an aristocratic family. She will definitely ask her brother for help. Her brother was an autocratic person, and he doted on her, his only sister. At that time, he will definitely make a scene in front of the Emperor. At that time, the Emperor will have a reason to demote him. Once he falls, the power supporting the Eldest Prince will be reduced by half. "
This move was indeed ruthless.
But Lin Mengya was more worried about the Eldest Prince's power. It was definitely not what they saw.
She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
In any case, this move of Madam Jingrou's was helpful to her plan.
If she said it, Madam Jing Rou would have the habit of being overcautious again, then all her efforts would have been wasted.
"Yes, Madam is wise."
At this time, the sun had set.
The time of her appointment with the Eldest Prince was getting closer and she could not help feeling anxious.
It seemed that it would not be easy for her to get through tonight.
Although the Emperor did not come, he still asked the eunuchs to fetch Madam.
It was likely that they were discussing a countermeasure tonight.
Lin Mengya found an excuse to stay in the palace. Only she and Baisu were in the spacious side hall.
"Miss, why don't I go for you? The Eldest Prince is insidious. I'm afraid you can't handle it. "
Because of what happened last time, Baisu dared not to leave Lin Mengya's side. She was afraid that Lin Mengya would take risks alone again.
The flickering candlelight made Lin Mengya's eyes shine.
Then she carefully wrote down what happened today on a piece of paper. If she guessed correctly, the Eldest Prince would ask her about what happened after Madam Jingrou angered the Emperor.
Alas, it was really difficult.
"No, if you go, you may be in more danger than me. Baisu, you can't be too close to me. Once you are discovered, you must run away immediately and leave no trace. Do you understand? "
Lin Mengya knew that Baisu would risk her life for her.
But now, she could only use her wits.
She had a bad feeling about the Eldest Prince.
Even when she first met Xin Li, she did not feel so afraid.
It was an animal's natural sense of danger.
Maybe the Eldest Prince would be the most dangerous person she had ever faced.
She had to be careful in order to protect herself.
"But …"
Baisu frowned and her eyes were full of worry.
Lin Mengya waved her hand and stopped her from saying anything.
"Listen to me. If you want me to come back in one piece, do as I say."
Baisu nodded heavily. Although she was still deeply worried, she could only follow her master's orders in the current situation.
"Clang, clang …"
The crisp and almost inaudible ringing of the bell rang out. In the tranquil night, it seemed exceptionally strange.
Lin Mengya's excellent hearing would never be wrong. Her eyes darkened. It was coming.
She blew out the candle and looked at Baisu in the dark.
After exchanging a look, Lin Mengya put the secret letter away and stepped out of the side hall, pretending to be lost.
The bell was very soft and intermittent, as if it was according to a certain frequency.
But for Lin Mengya, it was not difficult to distinguish it.
The surroundings were frighteningly quiet. When she stepped out of Fengyu Garden, she found something wrong.
There were people in the garden at night. Why didn't she hear any sound until she came out?
The bell became clearer and more urgent.
Finally, at the corner of the path, she heard a small voice, holding a bell, waiting for her arrival.
"Follow me."
Lin Mengya could tell that it was a girl's cold voice.
Lin Mengya followed her with one foot on the other, but found that the girl walked more steadily than her, even without the light.
It seemed that she was a martial artist.
As the night breeze picked up, a faint floral fragrance wafted into Lin Mengya's nose.
The Shen Nung system in her mind immediately realized that there was no one in the yard at night.
It turned out that the strong sleeping fragrance had made people fall into a sweet dream.
The petite figure became more and more familiar. It coincided with a person she saw during the day.
It was her!
Apart from her, no one else could spread the fragrance of flowers evenly throughout the whole Fengyu Garden.
But there was no one in her room.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and a ray of silver light shone down.
Lin Mengya, who had long gotten used to the darkness, could vaguely see that old-fashioned little face through the moonlight.
