"In fact, you don't have to worry about your old friends. You'd better think about how to face the person in front of you."
Although Lin Mengya thought that Madam Rui was good at caring about old friendships, for Lin Mengya, those who had betrayed her were just passing clouds.
In the past, Baisu did hide something from her because she had no choice.
But Baisu didn't mean to hurt her, and she didn't really hurt her.
Therefore, she could accept Baisu again without any grudge.
However, Madam Hui was different. She had deliberately tried to get close to the king for her own selfishness and her own glory and wealth.
At that time, Madam Jingrou treated her like a sister. She not only fell in love with her sister's man, but also used her delusion to stir up trouble.
It was not that her behavior was shameful. But if Madam Hui was frank and open, Madam Jingrou might be able to imitate Ehuang and Nüying.
At that time, although the king was heartless to her, he still had some feelings for her.
Now that things had become so ugly, she could only blame herself for being too greedy.
"Alas, I don't just care about the past. Hui has been with Yao Lu for many years, and she knows some things better than me. I want to keep her so that she can be useful in the future. The king has told me clearly about what happened in the past. But there is one thing that you are all wrong about. Hui 'er really did get pregnant once, but that pregnancy was not strange after that. I thought it was the king who did it. Later, I found out that the king didn't know about it. "
This …
Seeing Madam Jingrou's serious look, Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little confused.
If what Madam said was true, did it mean that Madam Hui had an affair with a man behind the king's back?
She had to admit that this news was a bit shocking!
"Madam, have you found out who the adulterer is?"
Lin Mengya thought for a while, and then brought out a cup of hot tea for Madam Rui.
"I also sent someone to investigate, but no one found any clues, whether it was the servants who used to serve Hui or others. So I think we might have missed something. "
Madam Rui's words were like a drop of cold water falling into hot oil.
Lin Mengya felt a burning sensation in her heart, but it was difficult for her to comprehend it in a short time.
Given Madam Hui's stubbornness towards His Majesty, if she really found a wild man and got pregnant with his child, it would be a little unreasonable for her to spread it around.
Unless —
"Madam, did you hear any strange rumors before Madam Hui miscarried? Or was it a sign? Why was Madam Hui determined to be the real culprit who caused her miscarriage? "
Everything needed a reasonable explanation. Madam Hui was not a smart person. Why did Xin Yu say that Wanyan Jing only had expectations for her?
Moreover, Madam was definitely not the jealous and ignorant type. Why did Madam Hui hate her?
Madam Jing Rou thought for a while. Things had happened too long ago, and it would probably take some time for her to remember them.
"I've never heard of any strange rumors, but Hui 'er's pregnancy was a little strange, but I didn't know about it at the time. It's just that I remembered our friendship back then and gave her some food. I don't know what she ate, but she had an abortion. I'm the one who blamed her for it. Speaking of strange things … I don't know what happened that year, but all the women in the palace who got pregnant in that year suffered a lot. In the end, only one seedling was left, and the others all miscarried. "
Lin Mengya was slightly stunned by Madam Jing Rou's words.
According to the time, Madam Jing Rou had just entered the palace that year, and her foundation was not stable yet.
In addition, the Queen made things difficult for Madam Jing, so the King didn't only favor her.
But how could it be so strange that she couldn't even keep the baby that year?
"Madam, can you tell me who were the concubines who miscarried that year?"
Madam Jing Rou thought for a while and said,
"Hui 'er was one, and that Madam Xian was one. There were two more, but I don't remember clearly. Why? Is there something wrong? "
Lin Mengya frowned. Four prematurely born babies. Another four!
These days, she had a headache because of the accidental death of the maids in the Linqiu Pavilion.
Now there were four more babies who died more than ten years ago.
Was there any connection between them?
"Madam, how do they usually deal with the aborted babies?"
Although they were unborn children, they were still of royal blood.
Generally, someone would collect them, place them in a special cemetery, and find someone to expiate their souls.
"Oh, if they die prematurely, they are mainly the children of the royal family, and are usually sent to the back mountain to rest. These children have a hard life. I hope they can find a good family in their next life. "
Back mountain? Wasn't that the place where she and Long Tianhao enjoyed the night?
The more Lin Mengya thought about it, the more she felt it was strange, as if there was a little buffalo nudging her in her heart.
"Madam, I'll leave first. By the way, I want to go to the library to have a look. Can you give me a warrant? "
The four people who had their left wrists cut off when they were alive were almost like priests.
Now, four babies died almost in the same year, especially Madam Hui, who was obviously not the king's child, but she was still so determined.
It seemed that someone deliberately guided Madam Hui, not only to make her pregnant, but also to make her insist that her baby died because of Madam Jing Rou.
But from another point of view, this baby had to be conceived by Madam Hui, and it had to be in that year.
In that case, no matter whose child it was, it would work, right?
Lin Mengya frowned. She only felt that she was one step closer to the truth, but because there were so many obstacles in front of her, she couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.
When Madam Jingrou saw that this lass rarely had such an anxious look on her face, there wasn't a hint of relaxation on her face.
She nodded and didn't say anything else. She just took off the jade token from her waist and gave it to Lin Mengya.
"Go ahead and investigate. No matter what you find, His Majesty and I will believe you. Keep this jade token, and no one in the palace will dare to stop you. "
Madam Jing Rou naturally knew the importance of the matter. Something big must have happened to make Helan look so serious.
Lin Mengya immediately said goodbye to Madam Jing Rou, took the jade token, and went to the library in the palace.
The eunuch on duty only took a look at the jade token and knew it was Madam's order.
Immediately, the heavy wooden door opened and Lin Mengya was invited in.
"Thank you. In fact, I came this time to borrow a few detailed records of the affairs in the palace. You know, Madam is now in the palace, so you have to take care of everything at any time. If you can see some old records, Madam will be more handy. "
Lin Mengya couldn't show even a little emotion in front of outsiders.
The palace was different from other places. Everything had to be recorded in detail.
Apart from the king and those serious masters, if someone was missing, it had to be recorded. It was just some miscellaneous things, and at most, the whereabouts of the missing person was unknown.
These things would basically be destroyed every few decades.
What Lin Mengya actually wanted to borrow was something else.
"Miss, you're right. These books are stored in a small warehouse inside. Let's not talk about the big and small things in the palace, but they are all recorded in the whole of Lieyun. "
The chamberlain had only mentioned it on purpose to curry favor with him.
However, Lin Mengya's heart was filled with joy.
She suppressed the excitement in her heart and waited for the eunuch to go out. Then, Lin Mengya went to the back of the bookshelf and started to read according to the information on the bookshelf.
The year when Madam Hui had a miscarriage should be 18 years ago.
She took out the book that recorded the affairs of the palace and read according to the chronology. Finally, she found the book that recorded the affairs of the concubines 18 years ago.
Sure enough, that year, Madam Hui, Madam Xian, a beauty, and another talented man unfortunately had a miscarriage.
Although they were healthy, they couldn't save their children.
Four children … Lin Mengya was about to put down the book in her hand, but she found that there were more records at the back.
In addition to the four unborn babies, in the second year, four children under the age of six died one after another.
Lin Mengya felt that all the pores on her body were about to explode. The four children were not the children of the king, but they were related to the royal family.
In other words, they would also be sent to the back mountain!
There were four babies in the first year, and four children in the second year. What about the third and fourth years?
As she continued to read, many things were only recorded in fragments, and she couldn't find anything.
Lin Mengya put the book on the shelf, and her brain was working at full speed.
What was the connection between all these?
"You also found it?"
All of a sudden, a familiar yet exceptionally fearful deep voice rang out from behind her.
Lin Mengya immediately leaned against the wall and looked at the man in cyan who suddenly appeared in her sight.
A faint smile appeared on the man's face, and he looked like a gentle childe.
There seemed to be a little gentleness in his eyes, but it made Lin Mengya's heart extremely cold.
"Mr. Zhu, why are you here?"
Wasn't the man in front of her Mr. Zhu, who was elusive and had plotted against everyone?
Now he suddenly appeared in front of Lin Mengya and said such a sentence. How could Lin Mengya not be terrified?
"Don't panic. I have no evil intentions towards you. I came here to help you this time. However, now that things have come to this, there are some things that I should say to you. In fact, instead of calling me Mr. Zhu, it's more appropriate to call me uncle. "
Lin Mengya looked at Mr. Zhu, and her mind raced.
Her mother was the eldest princess of the Nation of Lintian. If she called him uncle, could it be that Mr. Zhu was also a member of the royal family of Lintian?
