Seeing that Xiaoyu's attitude softened, Lin Mengya was naturally reluctant to be strict with him.
Judging from the current situation, it was a little difficult for Xiaoyu to accept Xiu in a short time.
But there was a good saying that affection grew with time, wasn't it?
Wasn't that what was shown on TV? A man and a woman who had no feelings for each other, who were even enemies, would have to experience some things before they would slowly turn into love.
She didn't want to be a feudal patriarch who had to decide other people's feelings.
But Xiu was definitely a good girl. It was hard to say whether her naughty monkey was worthy of her.
"I know you don't like to be arranged and forced, but Xiu is really a good girl. I think it's really a little embarrassing for me to be caught in the middle when you are always at daggers drawn with her. How about you do me a favor and treat Xiu a little more politely in the future? "
If it was said that Wanyan Yu was absolutely irreconcilable with Xiu in the past, now because of Lin Mengya, his view of Xiu had changed a little.
In fact, when he was locked in Xiu's boudoir that night, it was that lass who thought of a way to help him escape.
Therefore, he was not as angry with Xiu as he was with other members of the Dongfang family.
Now, coupled with Lin Mengya's repeated endorsements for Xiu, it was natural that Xiaoyu would not say those hurtful words the next time they met each other like what she was doing now.
"Alright, I'll agree to it. But sister, the Dongfang family is not as simple as you think. Except for Xiu, you'd better not get in touch with other people. "
Lin Mengya immediately nodded. In fact, Xiaoyu had thought too much.
The reason why Xiu came to her in person must be that only Xiu or her two confidants around her knew her real identity.
In this case, the other members of the Dongfang family should not try to harm her.
"Did you get hurt last night?"
Lin Mengya calmed down a little, took Xiaoyu's hand, and looked at him worriedly.
In fact, she asked Xiaoyu to move to the palace, firstly to get rid of the dislike, and secondly for his safety.
But she didn't expect that the people of the Yao family dared to catch her in the street yesterday.
She was lucky that Xiu happened to hear the news and came to look for her personally.
He wondered what Xiao Yu had experienced last night.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Those guys can't hurt me for the time being. However, they didn't manage to capture anyone alive. When I return, I must report this matter to my father so that he can punish the Yao Clan severely! "
Xiao Yu was no longer the little boy he used to be.
In his eyes, there was a trace of viciousness hidden in them.
Even when he dealt with his enemies, he showed no mercy.
Lin Mengya did not know whether this was a good thing, but at least for now, this was the only way he could protect himself.
The only thing she could do was to lend him a helping hand.
Lin Mengya lowered her head and no one knew what she was thinking.
Only when the carriage was about to reach the palace gates did she raise her head. Under Xiao Yu's puzzled gaze, she gently shook her head.
"I think it's best not to let His Majesty know about this for the time being. However, the fact that you were being hunted down last night is a fact in everyone's eyes. I think it's better to tell His Majesty that they were just some ruffians who deliberately came to provoke him. "
Lin Mengya's words made Xiao Yu more puzzled.
His elder sister was a vengeful person. He still remembered clearly how she had dealt with those people from the Willow Gang.
But why did his elder sister advise him to keep it a secret?
"If you had captured someone alive last night, the Yao Clan might not have been affected. Don't forget that even if the Queen fell, the Yao Clan still has the eldest prince in their hands. What's more, the Yao Clan's attitude on the matter of the Queen is really thought-provoking. I don't think they have no countermeasures. Maybe what happened last night was just a premeditated plan. "
Lin Mengya pondered and tried to figure out the Yao Clan's intention.
Last night, she went out with Xiao Yu on a whim.
Even if the Yao Clan got the news and wanted to catch Xiao Yu, it should be a hasty decision.
But who was Xiao Yu? At present, he was the Ninth Prince, whom the King doted on the most and had high hopes for.
Could it be that the people of the Yao Family were as stupid as the Queen of the Royal Palace, grabbing hold of this hot potato to thoroughly enrage the Lord?
Or they had long had the intention to disobey the King.
Whether they directly launched a coup or supported the First Prince to ascend the throne by force, there was a lot of risk.
Moreover, the other aristocratic families would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
Unless they had been waiting for an opportunity.
It was an opportunity where he could be easily suspected and exposed in front of the king.
But why did they do this?
Lin Mengya frowned. Now, she felt that she could not see clearly.
"No matter what the reason is, since you said so, I'll do it. But what you said makes sense. I also feel that the Yao Clan seems to be not afraid of exposing their identity by catching me in public. Don't tell me they want to take the initiative to be dealt with by father? "
Xiao Yu's murmur made Lin Mengya's mind light up.
"Yes! That's it! Xiao Yu, you're so smart! "
Lin Mengya grabbed Xiao Yu's hand excitedly and kissed him.
Xiao Yu, who was kissed on the cheek, was almost petrified and happy as he looked at his sister in front of him.
But what exactly did he say?
"Go and ask Uncle Lie to help us investigate if there is anything wrong with the Yao Clan. Remember, don't believe anything on the surface. Don't let go of any clues. Do you understand? "
No matter how confused Xiaoyu was, he knew that his sister would not say something without reason when Lin Mengya became serious all of a sudden.
The horse carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Lin Mengya reminded Xiao Yu again to be careful, and then walked in the direction of Phoenix Wing Garden worriedly.
If things were really as she had guessed, then the fight in the Lieyun Kingdom would be much more difficult than she had expected.
Right now, the temporary peace was nothing more than a pool of surging water.
As for what the truth was, only time would be able to tell her.
When she returned to Phoenix Wing Garden, she saw Baisu standing at the door, waiting for her.
Seeing Lin Mengya, Baisu immediately ran over and checked Lin Mengya from head to toe. After making sure that Lin Mengya was unharmed, she felt relieved.
"I'm fine, don't worry. Oh yes, I heard from Xiao Yu that you were taken away by Wanyan Lie's men. I'm sorry, we didn't know about the taboo. "
Of course, Baisu did not blame Lin Mengya. In fact, even she did not know why she was taken away last night.
"Miss, don't say that. I've forgotten about it. I can only blame myself for this. But I also want to know why I can't go to the Temple of Sorcerer. It's a pity that even my master did not tell me. "
Baisu's face revealed a rare helpless expression.
She rarely went to the Temple of Sorcerer. Even when her master brought her to run errands, he would ask her to wait at a place far away from the temple.
She had not been to that place for many years.
If she had not gone out with Miss and the others last night, she would have forgotten about it.
"That's good. They have their reasons. Is Madam back?"
As the two of them chatted, they walked into the Phoenix Plume Garden.
Everything was as usual. Everyone was quietly minding their own business.
But when she saw Lin Mengya, she nodded slightly to greet her.
"Yes, Madam is not back yet. And this morning, there was news that the Queen had passed away. "
Died? Lin Mengya stopped in her tracks and raised her eyebrows in surprise. She looked at Baisu.
"Who sent the news? Is it reliable?"
"It was Ning Qiu, who worked for Madam. She said that the Queen had passed away from a sudden illness. She also said that she would go there after you came back. But she doesn't seem to be in a hurry. Why don't you go there after you change your clothes? "
She nodded. She had already expected the Queen's ending.
But she did not expect it to end in death.
Although this woman was pitiful, she was really hateful.
But why did Madam and His Majesty downplay the death of the Empress so casually?
Not to mention that Ning Qiu had the time to inform everyone about such a serious matter.
Ning Qiu's attitude was not urgent, and there was nothing unusual in the palace.
Thinking about it, the King and Madam must want to deal with the Queen's death coldly.
After changing into a set of plain clothes, Lin Mengya took Baisu to the king's bedchamber.
Along the way, Lin Mengya did not see anything unusual.
The people in the palace behaved as usual, as if the Queen's death had no effect on the whole palace.
Wasn't it a little too heartless?
But when she stepped into the door of the King's bedroom, she saw the King and Madam playing chess leisurely.
They were waiting respectfully in a corner. When Madam heard the noise, she smiled and looked at her. She waved her hand and let the others leave.
"You're here. I heard that you went out with Yu 'er last night. How is it? Is the street lively for the Witch Empress's birthday? "
Madam's tone was as gentle as usual, and there was even a sense of relaxation in it that was not usually seen.
It seemed that she was in a good mood.
"The street is very lively. It seems that everyone admires the Witch Empress."
The fight on the chessboard should have reached the final stage.
Madam held a white chess piece between her fingers. She frowned and thought for a long time before she gently put the piece down.
