The fragrance of the tea was clear and the tea was slightly bitter with a sweet aftertaste.
When Lin Mengya personally brought it to Xin Luan's desk, it was already the most exciting moment of this cup of tea.
The big hand opened the lid, and a unique fragrance slowly spread from the desk to the whole South Sage Hall.
As the tea rolled down her throat, the exquisite taste spread out. Anyone who was good at this would immediately be surprised by the tea's perfect taste.
Lin Mengya lowered her head, looking respectful and gentle.
After Xin Luan drank the tea that she had brewed herself, the expression on her face seemed to have eased a lot.
"Miss, you're really good at cooking. No wonder Elder Sister trusts you so much."
He spoke as if he was gossiping.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and then replied softly,
"It's just that Madam doesn't dislike me. High Priest, you flatter me."
Lin Mengya had to be very careful when talking to this kind of person.
If there was something, important people like them would never say it directly.
Probing over and over again, the meaning behind it all depended on understanding and not words.
Although Lin Mengya was not used to this way of talking, it was obvious that she was not the one in charge now.
His eyes only stayed on her for a short while, and then he looked away.
Lin Mengya did not dare to look at him. If it were in the past, she would not be afraid.
But today, she had just met her uncle, and it was inevitable that she was not calm.
"Well, Elder Sister has been in the palace for many years, and she has been working hard in the harem. If you can help her well, it will be considered a credit."
These words were reminding her to do more for Madam.
Of course, Lin Mengya knew that these things must not be ordinary.
She immediately lowered her head and still answered respectfully.
"Yes, I understand."
One was obsessed with the book in front of her, and the tea on the desk.
The other was gentle and submissive, like a diligent and cautious palace maid.
Xin Luan seemed to be testing Lin Mengya's patience, and his eyes fell on her from time to time.
Then he would secretly look away, as if she did not exist in front of him.
Lin Mengya looked down and stood there in a dignified manner, like a pine tree.
The High Priest heard the sound of the person flipping the pages. After flipping more than 20 pages, the High Priest finally heard the sound again.
"You once gave me a chessboard. Although I like it, no one can play against me. Do you know how to play chess?"
Her eyelids trembled slightly. Playing chess was not a difficult thing for her.
Her chess skills had improved over the past few days.
"This servant only knows a little. I'm afraid that I might neglect the High Priest."
"It doesn't matter. It's just a pastime anyway."
The manservant had already swiftly set up the chessboard.
Lin Mengya knelt by the side, her eyes fixed on the chessboard and did not look at Xin Luan.
She held a white piece in her right hand. She naturally knew that this was the High Priest's way of giving her a chance. However, she also knew that this was also a test.
One black and one white, killing each other in that small space.
Although Lin Mengya's breath was unstable at the beginning and she had lost an important opportunity,
But once she immersed herself in it, the situation slowly turned around.
The two sides were in a stalemate on the chessboard in front of them.
Xin Luan increasingly felt that the little girl in front of him was not as simple as she seemed.
The battle seemed to have come to an end.
However, Xin Luan's brows furrowed with a hint of seriousness.
Who on earth was this girl?
Her way of playing chess was very strange. Sometimes it was majestic, and sometimes it was delicate.
She never stuck to one style, nor was she restricted by any rules.
It was as if this game of chess, to her, was just a one-sided game.
It was a feeling that could make people feel uneasy.
Not to mention other things, although he was also in the game, he faintly felt that he was playing according to that person's will.
What a terrifying restraining force. It was a kind of fear that he could not escape from no matter what.
Everything was actually under the girl's control. Whether it was his thoughts or his moves, they were all seen through by her in the shortest time possible.
He had never felt such a feeling even in front of the king.
Although it was not strong, he still felt that it was a kind of fear that came from the future.
If this woman wasn't his helper, she would definitely be destroyed!
For the first time, a trace of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
But when he thought of what his elder sister had said, he had to slow down and eventually disappeared.
That's right, how could he forget that to his nephew, this woman was more important than his life.
If he could keep her in his pocket, he would be able to conquer the world!
"You are wise, Your Highness. My skills are not as good as yours."
In the end, Xin Luan won the game.
Lin Mengya put down the chess piece in her hand, and the surging fighting spirit in her heart gradually subsided.
In fact, she liked playing chess very much. Every time she played chess, she could try out some new methods.
But at the same time, she also understood that the game of chess was like a battlefield. What seemed like a simple game could expose one's true nature.
Therefore, unless it was necessary, she would only play perfunctorily even if she was playing chess with someone.
But today, when she saw Xin Luan, she knew that she had to be serious.
That person was testing her step by step, not only to test her ability, but also to see if she was qualified to be someone he could trust.
Now, she was probably halfway to success.
"Don't worry, you can go back first today. In a few days, the eldest prince and the ninth prince will return to the palace. At that time, you will be very busy, so serve them carefully. "
Lin Mengya stood up, bowed respectfully, and left the South Sage Hall.
Standing at the door, the servant who saw her out also excused himself and turned to leave.
Lin Mengya just glanced at the door of the South Sage Hall. Since the high priest had taken the initiative to mention this matter, she was afraid that he would also take action.
Long Tianhao would return to Dajin in a few days, which meant that the Guluo Meeting would come to an end soon.
Now, it was time to push some things forward.
Three years couldn't afford to waste even the slightest bit of time.
When she returned to Phoenix Wing Garden, she saw Baisu, who had been secretly investigating outside these days.
Baisu's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Mengya, which was different from the despondent look she had when she went out. It seemed that something good had happened.
"Look at your happy face. Let me guess, did you find some clues about your identity?"
Baisu was a person who did not easily show her emotions, but in front of Lin Mengya, she could not hide it at all.
After nodding heavily, she pulled Lin Mengya to sit down, and then said to her in a low voice,
"Thanks to your idea, Miss, I have been collecting information these few days, and have found some useful information. Although my identity has not been confirmed, I think you need to know about the Lord Sorcerer. "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. If Baisu did not mention it, she would have almost forgotten about the Lord Sorcerer.
"I heard that more than ten years ago, that Lord Divine Shaman claimed that he was sick and did not get up. He was sick for almost a year before he gradually recovered. However, the doctor who had treated her had disappeared without a trace after Lord Divine Shaman recovered. Last time, I heard you mention that Lord Grand Sorcerer looks exactly like our Miss Baizhi. I calculated the date, and it is exactly the same as Baizhi's age. Do you think Baizhi is … "
Lin Mengya thought for a while, and felt that Baisu's words made a lot of sense.
Baizhi was indeed brought into the mansion by her father. Her father said that her parents died early, so she was brought into the mansion to be her companion.
If Baizhi was really the daughter of the Lord Sorcerer, then everything made sense.
"Continue to investigate the doctor who suddenly disappeared. I want to test the Lord Sorcerer myself. If she is really Baizhi's mother, then the matter of Xiaoyu will be settled. We might be able to find out something about your past. "
Baisu nodded heavily. The Lord Sorcerer was a noble person, and she was not allowed to get close to him. It would inevitably affect the results of her investigation.
Moreover, Baizhi was her good sister. If she could really find out the truth about her identity, it would be a good thing for Baizhi.
Naturally, they would not let go of any opportunity, but in the end, Lin Mengya still wanted to let the person make the choice whether to acknowledge her or not.
She could find out, but she had to respect everyone's decision and will.
"I'll go and make arrangements first, Miss, find a chance to leave the palace as soon as possible. Young Master is not here, I'm afraid it's not that simple. "
Of course, Baisu could secretly take Lin Mengya out, but it would be too troublesome, and it would be easy to be exposed.
Lin Mengya smiled, took out the jade token on her waist and said,
"You came at the right time. Now that I have this, I can come and go as I please in and out of the palace."
Unexpectedly, Madam's token really played a big role.
Baisu looked at it in surprise, and after a heated discussion, they made up their minds.
Early the next morning, an inconspicuous carriage left from the back door of the palace.
With Madam's token, Lin Mengya naturally did not need to be questioned too much when she went in and out of the palace.
Her excuse was simple. In order to welcome the return of the princes, she had to buy some things in person.
This reason was not far-fetched.
Moreover, when the time came, she could just buy some things casually, and she would be able to fool them.
In the carriage, Lin Mengya and Baisu restrained their emotions, feeling the swaying of the carriage.
After much effort, they finally arrived at the place where they discussed, and Lin Mengya told the coachman to wait for them there, and not to go anywhere else.
Then, she slipped away in the name of looking at the goods.
"Miss, is it really okay for you to swagger to the Lord Sorcerer Temple like this?"
Looking at Lin Mengya in a pink gauze dress, Baisu asked doubtfully.
Usually, shouldn't Miss be very careful, or dress up or disguise herself?
Why didn't she cover herself today?
