"Yes, they are good, and they are good-looking. But they are not easy to deal with. It will be troublesome if Yu marries one of them. I don't want him to walk the path that his father has walked. If Yu marries a wife, it will be fine as long as she is good-looking and has a good character. I don't have any other requirements. "
Lin Mengya knew that Madam Jingrou was implying something.
Could it be that she already had someone she liked and was afraid that Xiaoyu would not agree?
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya said,
"Madam Jingrou is right, but I don't know which girl can make you like her."
Lin Mengya naturally sided with Xiu. If Xiaoyu was not her younger brother, she would have tried her best to send him to their graves.
Lin Mengya always sided with her relatives and not with reason on such issues.
Moreover, Xiu and Xiaoyu were really suitable for each other.
One of them was as bright as the sun, and the other was as gentle as the moon.
The only thing he lacked was a ray of fate that was akin to divine light.
Moreover, Lin Mengya believed that love would develop over time.
She and Long Tianhao would turn from enemies to a loving couple.
There must be a chance for everything, right?
"You really don't know?"
Madam Jingrou looked at the girl in front of her and asked with some doubts.
Could it be that her silly son didn't tell He Lan anything?
Seeing He Lan shake her head, Madam Jingrou suddenly felt a little regretful.
This kind of thing was not something that parents like them should say.
If she said it, it would be a little difficult.
Alas, her Yu 'er seemed to be exactly the same as his father in this aspect.
"Nothing, I just said it casually. Moreover, His Majesty and I are not in a hurry about his marriage. There are some things that we have to choose carefully. You've seen for yourself how filthy the King's palace is. I don't want these things to happen to my son again. "
Lin Mengya highly agreed with this point.
In fact, many of Madam Jingrou's views, in Lin Mengya's opinion, were beyond the understanding of the ancient people.
No wonder she was raised as a voodoo witch. Whether it was her views or other ideas, they were so trendy that Lin Mengya could sympathize with her.
Moreover, how old was Xiaoyu? It was too early to talk about marriage.
An idea came to Lin Mengya's mind. Would it be better to mention Xiu to Madam?
With Madam's godly assistance, he believed that it would only be a matter of time before Xiu captured Xiaoyu.
"Madam is right, but when I was outside the palace, I once met a young lady from an aristocratic family in Royal City. That young lady was lively, lovely, pure, and kind. I think she is a good match for our prince! "
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, Mrs. Jingrou suddenly became interested.
Women always had a natural passion for this kind of thing.
But before she could ask, she remembered the quarrel between Xiaoyu and her father that day.
He couldn't help but lose interest. At this moment, Xiao Yu's heart was on the girl in front of him.
If she were to force one on Yu 'er, based on that child's stubborn nature, she was afraid that he would be even more unwilling.
"Forget it. Yu 'er is still young. There's no need to rush these things. If he grows up and likes someone, I'll make the decision for him. "
She had just raised the topic, but it was cut off by Madam.
Lin Mengya was a little puzzled, but more than that, she understood why Madam was like this.
No mother didn't want her children to be happy, just like her intelligent mother.
For her and her brother, she sacrificed everything and planned patiently so that they could grow up safely.
At that time, if it weren't for her mother's painstaking efforts to protect them.
She was afraid that she and her brother would become the victims of those with evil intentions as soon as they were born.
This was also the reason why she liked Mrs. Jingrou so much.
In some ways, Mrs. Jingrou was very similar to her mother.
The two of them chatted about daily life until the King's personal eunuch came out to summon Lin Mengya for an audience. That was the end of the conversation.
Although she didn't know what the King and the officials were talking about inside.
But Lin Mengya's appearance still attracted the attention of many people.
It was just that very few people knew that she was that Miss He Lan.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Lin Mengya knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.
She lowered her head and tried to make herself look inconspicuous.
She could clearly feel that the King's eyes drifted over her head.
Lin Mengya still maintained her humble appearance and didn't change at all.
"Have you found out anything about the death of the four palace maids?"
The King was so direct that he asked her the purpose of coming here today.
She lowered her head even more, because she felt that almost everyone's eyes were focused on her.
The feeling of being the center of attention was actually quite uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, this matter has been investigated clearly. The death of the four palace maids was all murdered. But I haven't found the murderer yet. "
This answer was actually similar to no answer.
Their gazes were obviously filled with displeasure.
They seemed to feel that they had been deceived by this woman.
However, the King understood the meaning behind her words.
"Oh, do you have any idea who murdered them?"
Lin Mengya didn't know why the King chose this place to let her report at this time.
But the King naturally had his reasons for doing things.
Lin Mengya hesitated for a moment and then said slowly.
"Your Majesty, I haven't found out who the murderer is. But there's one thing I'm sure of, this person must be related to the royal family. "
His words caused the surrounding gazes to suddenly become a little flustered.
How could it be that the murderer was related to the royal family?
"How dare you! The royal bloodline is noble, how can you, a little palace maid, doubt it! Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense! "
Lin Mengya didn't say anything after being refuted, nor was she in a hurry to defend herself.
In fact, the moment she was about to say it, she was already prepared for it.
Now, listening to the discussion around her, Lin Mengya finally understood why the King asked her to report here.
Among these people, there might be someone who needed to be taught a lesson.
"Don't be so agitated, Your Excellencies. In my opinion, why don't we let this lady continue to speak tonight? Moreover, she only said that there is a connection, but she didn't say what kind of connection. You don't have to be so anxious, do you? "
The person who spoke was Xin Luan, who came in before her.
Lin Mengya didn't expect this. But why did Lord Xin Luan speak up for her?
"Alright, go ahead."
The King's tone was still indifferent. His cold words made those officials shut their mouths obediently.
"Yes, thank you, High Priest. In fact, when these four maids died, their left hands were chopped off and their blood was drained. I found it strange, so I went to look through the history books. I discovered that only when the royal family died and were buried with them would they do such a thing. After the late king abolished this matter, very few people knew about it. So I speculate that the death of these four palace maids must be related to the royal family. "
In fact, after the late king abolished this system, not only did he ban all the officials who were in charge of this matter, he also ordered the burning of all documents related to this atrocity.
The only things that could be found were the few treasures in the palace.
Moreover, without the permission of the King, only a few people could see them.
Under such circumstances, whoever did such a thing was either the royal family who knew the details, or someone with ulterior motives challenging the royal family.
But no matter which one it was, it was related to the royal family.
Lin Mengya had just played a little word game, but those officials were already panicking.
From this, it could be seen that her speculation was correct. His Majesty was probably trying to teach them a lesson.
"I see. Your Majesty, someone might be trying to curse you!"
It was a false alarm, but it made those adults break out in cold sweat on their foreheads.
The King, who was sitting behind the desk, glanced at the figure kneeling on the ground with his cold eyes, and a look of admiration flashed across his eyes.
He had asked Xin Luan to stay here because he wanted her to cooperate with him.
He didn't expect that this lass would be so quick-witted.
He lowered his eyes and finally understood why his silly son was so obsessed with her.
But this didn't mean that he had accepted her.
"You can leave now."
"Yes."
As if she had been granted amnesty, Lin Mengya immediately left obediently after the King relented.
God knew that if she continued to stay here, those officials would hate her to death.
When Lin Mengya came out of the study, she saw that Madam Jingrou was about to go out.
Lin Mengya immediately rushed to Madam's side and exchanged a look with Ning Qiu. Ning Qiu smiled and passed Madam's hand to her.
"Thank you, Elder Sister."
Lin Mengya nodded. She knew that things were different now.
The maidservant who opened the door had become the chief steward of the palace.
Madam didn't care much about it. She knew that there were many things for Ning Qiu to do in the palace.
It was not a bad idea for her to go out for a walk with Helan.
The group of people walked out of the King's bedroom and walked in the direction of the garden.
Now that Madam had monopolized the King's favor, even with Madam's indifferent character, she had no choice but to follow behind.
Lin Mengya knew that in Fengyu Garden, the maids who rushed to serve Madam in the bedroom during the day would smile and say that the King doted on Madam's heart.
But to Madam, it was a sweet burden.
She was the same when she was by Long Tianhao's side.
Therefore, she could empathize with Madam's experience.
A large crowd appeared in the garden.
Now, no matter which Madam or beauty in the palace, it was difficult to compare with Madam Jingrou's favor.
