With a "slap", Lin Mengya felt a burning pain on her cheeks.
Presumably, this Great Empress really hated her to the core, which was why she personally came to teach her a lesson.
To be honest, she did not have a good impression of the queen, who was neither smart nor benevolent.
If she had not wanted to lure her out, she would not have put on this show.
"Little b * tch, those who come from the Phoenix Yuyuan are all foxes. If I were to scratch your little face, I'm afraid that little bastard would feel bad for you. This consort heard that you found him from the commoners. Both him and the king have been bewitched by you foxes! "
A sharp golden hairpin suddenly appeared in the queen's hand.
There was madness in her eyes, even though her hand, which was holding the golden hairpin, had been cut by the sharp golden leaves. Red blood flowed down from her snow-white wrist.
Lin Mengya looked at the approaching golden hairpin, but she was not flustered at all.
She suddenly stood up and knocked down the person beside her. Amid the scream of the queen, Lin Mengya quickly jumped into the pool.
The slightly cold water immediately rushed into her mouth and nose. The air in her lungs became thinner and thinner, but her hands and feet were tied and she could not use any strength.
Bai Su would definitely come down to save her, but it would be a little later.
Through the water, she heard someone shouting. She finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain.
The uncomfortable feeling of suffocation made her gradually lose her original calmness.
Her calculation of the time was definitely not wrong. However, what if Bai Su was entangled by someone? Would she drown to death?
The complicated thoughts in her mind were gradually replaced by pain.
Just when Lin Mengya was about to lose her patience, a pair of hands pulled her out of the pool.
"Cough, cough … cough, cough, cough …"
She gasped for air and once again experienced what it meant to be a survivor of a disaster.
It was no wonder that in all kinds of ghost stories, the resentment of water ghosts was the strongest.
No ghost would be able to withstand such pain before death.
"Miss, Miss!"
Baisu's anxious face appeared in her sight.
But Lin Mengya, who was choking on water and coughing, found it difficult to answer.
He waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
When he turned around, he saw an unfamiliar face.
"This is the king's bodyguard. He saved the young miss."
Baisu whispered into Lin Mengya's ear. She was surprised that he was the King's guard.
His sluggish mind only reacted when the guard quietly disappeared from his sight.
The king's bodyguard had actually saved her before Bai Su did.
Didn't that mean that His Majesty had the same plan as him?
Lin Mengya wanted to cry but had no tears. She was so close to losing her beauty and being buried under the water.
In fact, His Majesty also had this intention. Just because she was a little faster, the King took advantage of the situation?
She did not know whether to laugh or cry as she was supported back to Feng Yu courtyard by Bai Su. It seemed that in the future, she would be able to change her bad habit of taking the lead.
She had almost forgotten how scheming the king was.
How could this little scheme of hers escape the King's eyes?
"Young miss, don't worry. This time, the king and queen can no longer avoid it."
Baisu said angrily. In order to trap the king and queen, her young miss had personally played the trick of injuring herself to gain the confidence of the king and queen.
God knew how worried she was when she saw her young miss jump into the pool with her hands tied.
Fortunately, the guards arrived in time and her young miss was safe and sound.
Otherwise, she would have killed those troublemakers first and then committed suicide to atone for her crime.
"Of course. To catch a thief, you have to catch the stolen goods. To catch an adulterer, you have to catch both of them. Previously, the king and queen could have blamed all of them, but now, they have been caught red-handed. I want to see how she can escape punishment. "
This time, the king and queen were punished for several crimes. Not only did they disobey the king's order and leave Linqiu Pavilion without permission, they also tried to kill her.
When the time came, she wanted to see how the king and queen would explain it to the king!
In the east hall where the king dealt with government affairs, Lin Mengya respectfully knelt on the ground, looking like a submissive punching bag.
Apart from her, Madam Jingrou and the king and queen were also here.
Madam Jingrou sat quietly by the king's side. Her eyes occasionally fell on Lin Mengya and the king and queen.
Although she was already the victor of this battle, her many years of self-cultivation and patience made it so that she did not reveal the complacent expression of someone who had won the battle.
From this point, it was enough to see that Madam Jingrou's skills were much more profound than those of the king and queen.
"What's going on? Yunsheng, tell me. "
The king was still wearing the silver mask, but the color was much better than before.
His cold eyes swept across the king and queen and finally fell on Lin Mengya's head.
A look of appreciation flashed across his eyes, but no one noticed it.
"Your Majesty, I was ordered to patrol the palace. Who knew that I found the queen of Linqiu Pavilion in the north side of the garden, trying to drown He Lan, the palace maid of Phoenix Yuyuan Court. When his subordinates arrived, they managed to rescue him. I don't know anything else. "
Yun Sheng was the one who had rescued Lin Mengya from the pool.
He was worthy of being the king's servant. His words were watertight and he could clearly distinguish between what should be said and what should not be said.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? He Lan, tell me. "
The king casually flipped through a book on the table, but no one in the main hall dared to say anything.
Lin Mengya immediately bowed and raised her tear-stained face. There were tears in her eyes, but they did not fall. She felt wronged but was not pretentious. As expected, she had become a good actress after acting for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I was wronged in this matter. This morning, I was ordered by Madam to take care of Linqiu Pavilion. I don't know how I offended Her Highness and caused such a disaster. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter and give justice to me. "
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the king and queen, who were somewhat crazy.
"Nonsense! Your Majesty, she is just a lowly servant. How dare she insult me! I have served in the palace for so many years. How can I be insulted by a lowly servant? According to the rules of the palace, she should be the one to be dismembered! "
What a vicious tone, what a vicious purpose.
Lin Mengya glanced at the king and queen, only to see that her face was distorted and her eyes were full of crazy hatred.
The king and queen did have the right to hate and be crazy.
However, they could only bring about complete destruction.
"He Lan should be punished for offending her superior. But Yao Lu, have you forgotten my order? "
The first half of the sentence ignited the king and queen's hope.
However, the second half of the sentence made her fall to the bottom in an instant.
"Madam … Yao, according to the king's order, you don't have any title now and your rank is not clear. Therefore, you are not a concubine in the palace. But this Miss He Lan is a third-grade official serving Madam Jingrou. Madam, did you remember wrongly? "
A chamberlain standing next to the king slowly explained the situation clearly.
The king and queen were stunned on the spot, as if struck by lightning.
Only now did she realize the situation in front of her.
That man really did not have any feelings for her at all.
"Haha … hahaha … Wanyan Ziyang, you and I have been husband and wife for 30 years, but I have never seen through your heart."
Yao Lu smiled, looking incomparably desolate.
In the end, she was a pitiful woman.
Because of the power of the Yao Family, she thought she could have everything.
However, she fell in love with the person she should not have loved the most.
In the East Hall, those who had nothing to do with it all left silently.
In fact, Lin Mengya also wanted to move with them, but every time she looked at Madam Jingrou, she saw that the latter seemed to be begging her to stay.
Lin Mengya had never seen such a helpless look in Madam Jingrou's eyes.
She could not help but slow down and stay in the main hall.
Yao Lu was paralyzed on the ground. Even so, her eyes were still glued to the king reluctantly.
Perhaps it was a mixture of love and hate. Who could so easily forget a person who had used all his strength to love?
Lin Mengya understood that feeling, but the current ending could only be said to be Yao Lu's own fault.
The king did not speak, but he stopped flipping the book in his hand.
There was no one else in the hall, so Lin Mengya relaxed a lot. She raised her head and secretly looked at the king's action.
After a moment of silence, the king put down the book in his hand, raised his hand and took off half of the mask on his face.
A scar across the right side of his face was hideous and ugly.
Even Lin Mengya couldn't help sucking in a breath.
It would take at least a few years for such a scar to heal.
It seemed that when he was injured, it was so deep that the bone could be seen.
Lin Mengya inadvertently looked at Madam Jingrou, only to see that her watery eyes were full of tears.
The pain and sadness in her eyes made Lin Mengya, an outsider, tremble.
The king shifted his gaze to Madam Jingrou, and his cold black eyes became gentle.
He reached out his finger and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
"Rou 'er, don't cry. It doesn't hurt anymore."
His deep and lingering voice seemed to melt the ice of many years in an instant.
It was the first time Lin Mengya saw the king so gentle and careful, as if he was protecting a rare treasure.
"How can it not hurt? It's been twenty years. Every day, this scar cuts into my heart. Yao Lu, I have never hated you. Even if you forced my son to be separated from us, I have never hated you. But why did you hurt him? "
Madam Jingrou's every word was full of hatred.
She rarely spoke so harshly, but from the moment the king took off the mask, Madam Jingrou seemed to have changed into another person.
Lin Mengya had thought that what happened between Madam Jingrou and the king was only related to Madam Hui.
