Perhaps God was fair. He gave her a body that was immune to all kinds of poisons, and also gave her the ability to control all kinds of poisons in the world. This was the price she had to pay.
Lin Mengya felt a little dizzy. Her relationship with Long Tianhao had become more and more complicated.
At this moment, not only did she need an explanation, but she also needed to give Long Tianhao an explanation.
Lin Mengya didn't expect that things would become so complicated. She sighed faintly.
Perhaps it was because their relationship had been too smooth before, so there was such a big problem today.
"Miss He Lan, the High Priest wants to see you."
She raised her head and saw that the servant in the South Sage Hall had appeared in front of her without anyone noticing.
She nodded. Her mind was in a mess now. Only by filling it with other things could she slightly forget about these complicated things.
In the South Sage Hall, Xin Luan had set up the chessboard.
It seemed to be the same game as the last time, but it was still at the position where she lost.
"What instructions do you have for me, Your Excellency?"
Lin Mengya had to be more careful in front of Xin Luan.
It seemed that this person could be used, but she couldn't understand Xin Luan's thoughts.
Xin Luan was a person who was never willing to put his thoughts out there for others to see clearly.
Therefore, others could say that he was profound, but not necessarily sinister.
Xin Luan had always given Lin Mengya the impression that he was mysterious, so Lin Mengya had always been wary of him.
Now that he had taken the initiative to look for her, Lin Mengya became vigilant.
"I'm thinking about the game of chess that you played here a few days ago. If you were given a chance now, I wonder how you would play."
Xin Luan's eyes fell on the chessboard, and a few rays of light revealed an unfathomable depth.
Lin Mengya's eyes fell on the chessboard, and she realized that this was the move that she had secretly made.
This was also the result of this game. She could win the world with one move, but she lost to Xin Luan by a little.
In other words, the result of this game was completely under Lin Mengya's control.
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xin Luan had been reviewing the game these days?
"I don't understand what you mean, Your Excellency."
She knew that Xin Luan was a meticulous person, but she did not expect him to notice such a small matter.
The scariest thing about this kind of person was how meticulous he was. It was likely that his every move could not escape the other party's observation.
In the end, how much could he understand?
"You are very smart."
Lin Mengya didn't think that he was complimenting her. She was smart, but she would be fooled by her own intelligence.
On the contrary, being told by a person with extremely high intelligence like this only made her feel a slight chill down her spine.
He was afraid that his tricks would be seen through, and even more afraid that he had already become a chess piece in the game.
"You flatter me, milord."
Lin Mengya lowered her head and hid all her emotions.
However, Xin Luan's gaze did not linger on her. Instead, he looked at his chessboard.
"If I were thirty years younger and stood in your position, I would definitely win this game of chess. You're very good. You know how to endure. "
What did those words mean?
Lin Mengya was confused. Xin Luan seemed to be praising her for what she had done.
But he wouldn't call me over for a chess game that has already been decided, right?
"Milord, I …"
Lin Mengya was about to explain when she saw Xin Luan looking at her with a sincere smile.
For the first time, a loving smile like that of an elder appeared on his serious face. Instantly, Lin Mengya was a little confused.
"You've come over several times just to persuade me, right?"
It was the first time that this person, who usually spoke in a roundabout way, was so direct.
Lin Mengya was surprised, but she could only nod her head obediently.
"What do you want me to do?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mengya bowed and said respectfully,
"I don't want anything else. I just want to ask High Priest to help the Ninth Prince."
Her eyes were sincere and her tone was pure. What she said was what she was thinking.
"You want me to help the Ninth Prince?"
However, Xin Luan seemed to be in disbelief. His eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked Lin Mengya up and down, as if he wanted to see through her.
Lin Mengya nodded, although she didn't know why Xin Luan would have such a question.
But at least, Lin Mengya felt that she should make things clear.
"His Royal Highness, the Ninth Prince, is your nephew. But as you can see, among the princes of Lieyun, only he can bring a happy life to the people. Although I'm not from Lieyun, I don't want to see Lieyun suffer because of the turmoil of the monarch. "
If Xin Luan didn't agree, it would seem that he had betrayed the country.
Lin Mengya was indeed good at grasping the thoughts of these big shots. Xin Luan was silent for a moment and seemed to be in a dilemma.
"This … as you said, the Ninth Prince is indeed the best candidate to inherit the throne. But you also know how awkward my position in the Xin Family is. If I were still the High Priest with real power, it wouldn't be difficult. But now, I'm powerless even if I want to. "
There was a flash of understanding in Lin Mengya's eyes.
As expected, everything was not for free.
Since she wanted Lin Mengya to help Xiaoyu, she had to show her sincerity.
"I know that you have the world in your heart. It's only because of your own ability that you are temporarily content with a corner. But what if Madam has a way to help you return to the top? "
Lin Mengya's eyes flashed and her confident tone made people believe her.
Xin Luan stared into her eyes, fearing that she was just talking big.
"Do you really have a way?"
"I don't, but Madam does. If you don't believe me, you can ask Madam. "
Lin Mengya certainly knew that the plan she and Madam had come up with would definitely allow Xin Luan to return to the center of power in the Xin Family.
But at that time, facing the High Priest of the branch family, it would be an extremely cruel fight.
In the face of power and status, family affection was just a fig leaf that could be torn off at any time.
"I need to think about it. You can go back first."
After all, Xin Luan was a cautious person. Even if a huge temptation was placed in front of him, he wouldn't do it if he didn't have full confidence in it.
"Yes."
Lin Mengya respectfully left the South Sage Hall. But she felt that something was wrong.
Looking back, she found that Xin Luan was no longer in the South Sage Hall.
Could it be that the former High Priest, who seemed to be very powerful and scheming, was only interested in a lowly priest of the Xin Family?
The position of High Priest was indeed very attractive. He could do whatever he wanted in the Xin Family. Even in the palace, the king had to treat him with respect.
But no matter how she looked at it, this ambition did not seem to match Xin Luan's.
Unless there was something else in the Xin Family that Xin Luan was very interested in. Only by keeping the position of High Priest could he get it. But she did not know where it was.
Lin Mengya shook her head. She felt that her mind was not clear today.
It was better to wait until she was clear-headed before making plans for these brain-consuming things.
Back in Fengyu Garden, Baisu was very efficient. She had already arranged the message for Xiaoyu.
Fifteen days might be long, but it was not short. But for what they had to do, it was already too much.
Baisu took care of everything. Along the way, she would take care of everything, be it food or necessities.
Lin Mengya lay on the bed in a daze. Her mind was in a mess.
She did not know what had happened to her in the past few days. Things had upset her one after another. Although she had the help of the Shen Nung system, it did not mean that her emotions would not be affected.
Speaking of which, humans were emotional creatures. They could not compare to the coldness and precision of a machine.
"Miss, Madam has sent someone to deliver a note."
Just as night fell, Baisu came in with gentle steps to send the note to Lin Mengya.
The note was not big, and there was only one name on it.
But after Lin Mengya glanced at it, there was a complicated look in her eyes.
This was the person chosen by Madam to be the Gu Witch.
It was a simple word, but it coincided with Lin Mengya's thoughts.
"What does this mean, Madam?"
Under the candlelight, Baisu's side profile looked very gentle.
Looking at this loyal, gentle and considerate child, Lin Mengya was glad that she did not have to make such a choice.
"Nothing. They are just afraid that I will be tired on the way, so they sent someone to go with me. Go and prepare the things we need on the way. In addition to going to the Ten Thousand Gu Pool, we have to go back to Dajin. Tomorrow we will go out of the palace to buy some things. We can't meet them empty-handed, can we? "
Lin Mengya's words made Baisu's curiosity disappear.
She put the note on the candlelight and burned it. The fact that Madam chose her showed that she had the potential to do this.
But she felt helpless. She did not expect that they would have to rely on others' sacrifice to complete this matter.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya found a few herbs from the music score for the green stringed instrument and compared them.
Since it was an artificial Gu Witch, in addition to the similar function, she had to ensure her safety.
It would be best to buy all these herbs before going out tomorrow. In this way, the girl could at least retreat after the matter was completed.
She would not be on tenterhooks like she was.
It was a dark night, but Lin Mengya had a restless sleep.
In her dreams, all kinds of scenes kept flashing.
Or she was wearing a bright red wedding robe and standing outside Prince Yu's Mansion.
Or she was having physical contact with him for the first time. He was everywhere in her dreams, but everywhere made her taste a different kind of bitterness.
It was not until the sky was slightly bright that she forced herself to sleep.
