Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at the back of the mountain.
The mountain hidden in the fog seemed to be boundless and intimidating.
The Ten Thousand Gu Pool meant a lot to the Xin family.
Now that there was a person who could control the Ice Jade Cicada, how could the Xin family not be anxious?
If she stood in the Xin family's perspective, she would be curious about Miss Ning Qiu's identity.
His Majesty and Madam had already arranged everything. As long as the Xin family sent someone to investigate, they would get what they had meticulously arranged.
And the result of their investigation would determine whether Ning Qiu could successfully become the Gu Lady.
Humans always believed what they saw and heard with their own eyes, didn't they?
"I understand. Don't worry, I will arrange it now."
Xiao Yu's eyes brightened. She understood Lin Mengya's meaning.
She hurriedly walked out of the West Stride Courtyard to arrange the follow-up matters.
"Miss Ning Qiu, you should go back too. Don't go out these few days. If there is anything, send someone to tell me. "
She smiled gently. Lin Mengya could see Ning Qiu's nervousness and uneasiness.
"Miss He Lan, I'm afraid … I'm afraid I won't do well."
She looked at Lin Mengya timidly. Actually, when she went out and revealed the Ice Jade Cicada, she was not as calm as she looked.
After all, those people were famous throughout the entire Lieyun Kingdom.
Fooling them was as difficult as ascending to heaven for her.
But with everyone's help, she had already taken the most difficult first step.
Therefore, other than nervousness, she did not know why, but an indescribable sense of excitement rose in her heart.
"No, you have done well today."
She touched the young girl's shoulder. In the original plan, Ning Qiu should pretend to be an expert in the courtyard.
They were fake after all, so the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
It was better to pretend to be profound, so that people would not be able to see through her.
Unexpectedly, the secret weapon that Madam gave her attracted the Ice Jade Cicada.
In this way, the effect was even more out of her expectations.
"Really?"
The desire in Ning Qiu's eyes was very familiar to Lin Mengya.
When she first came to this world, she was probably like Lin Mengya, needing others' affirmation.
She nodded softly, and the light in Ning Qiu's eyes was easily ignited.
Seeing Ning Qiu retreating happily, Lin Mengya sat in the corridor under the eaves and looked at the powder that she had just cleaned up. She smiled meaningfully.
Now, the three most powerful people in the Lieyun Country were all on Xiao Yu's side.
Even if Wanyan Jing had the support of the Candle Dragon Cult, so what? The world of Lie Yun would belong to Xiaoyu sooner or later.
"Lass, don't be happy too early."
Qinghu looked at the proud little girl in front of him dotingly, but he could not help but pour cold water on her.
Lin Mengya raised her head, but she had already put away her youthful arrogance and complacency.
"Looks like you've noticed it too?"
Lin Mengya said with a smile. Her little feet, which were hidden under her dress, were dancing in the air.
Qinghu's senses had always been sharp. Sometimes, Lin Mengya even felt that if Qinghu had not become a killer trained by the Candle Dragon Cult, he would have entered the imperial court and become a good minister.
"Now that you know, Xiao Yu has won the support of the Candle Dragon Cult, but his foundation is not stable. He is not as popular as Wanyan Jing.
"Since you know, although Xiao Yu has won the support of the people, his foundation is not stable. He is not as popular as Wanyan Jing among the people of the Lieyun Country. Isn't it inappropriate to let him enter the Pool of Ten Thousand Gu as soon as possible? "
Qinghu was not worried about Xiao Yu, but he knew it very well.
"As long as Lin Mengya is not the emperor of the Lieyun Country, my lass will not be at ease."
"It's better to solve the problem as soon as possible, so that Lin Mengya would not be worried.
"It's not inappropriate. Although Xiao Yu entered the Pool of Ten Thousand Gu, there are others outside. I heard that the eldest prince has returned to the palace. The corruption case almost shook his foundation. Don't you think it's too deliberate for Xiao Yu to take advantage of the situation? "
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked at the red sun in the sky.
Public opinion was not something that could be simply described with a waxing and waning of another.
As the eldest prince, Wanyan Jing had made great achievements in the Lieyun Country.
It was impossible to completely remove him from the hearts of the people of the Lieyun Country.
However, a sage might not be a qualified monarch. Looking at what the eldest prince had done over the years, the more he portrayed himself to be superior, the more he would lose the favor of the ordinary people.
It would be easy for the people to choose between a monarch who wanted to be popular and a sage who was as cold as the moon.
"Lass, what can't you get after you set your eyes on it?"
Qinghu shook his head with a wry smile. To be honest, Lin Mengya's growth these days made Qinghu tremble with fear.
He still remembered that when they first met, with his experience and intelligence, he could still beat her.
Now, she was far more scheming than him.
Lin Mengya shook her head gently. Her eyes were so deep that it was impossible to see through her.
"It's not enough. What I want is very simple, but I can't get it now."
What she wanted was nothing more than a peaceful and profound life.
But as long as Gu Wei's legacy and the Immortal City existed, her life would be firmly locked, and she could not break free.
"I'll be with you, no matter what happens."
Qinghu gently lifted the hair on her forehead with his big hand. Looking at her black watery eyes, Qinghu unconsciously seemed to be absorbed in them.
Looking at her every frown and smile, he already felt that the whole world was full and perfect.
If one day, she could achieve her wish, then he would exchange his life for it.
"Thank you. I'll go and see how Baisu is preparing."
Lin Mengya stood up and left. Her smile was as bright as the morning glow.
Looking at her back, Qinghu suddenly felt that his body, which used to make him unable to sleep at night because of hatred, was no longer a symbol of his humble and dirty past.
If he was not like this now, how could he win her unguarded trust?
Perhaps all the suffering he had gone through before was just for the sake of staying by her side smoothly.
Qinghu's thin lips curved into a faint smile, and his pale face no longer only showed the ferociousness left by hatred.
He followed her softly. It was so good to stay by her side.
Lin Mengya, who did not know Qinghu's mind at all, was now thinking about what would happen after they returned to Dajin.
In fact, Baisu was well prepared. The horses and carriages were all arranged by Qinghu and others in advance.
The food on the way was also well prepared.
The only problem was how to find a justifiable reason to slip away from here.
However, Lin Mengya had already prepared for this.
As long as Xiaoyu and Ning Qiu entered the Pool of Ten Thousand Gu, she would immediately take out the token given by Madam and report back to the palace.
Although she had taken advantage of Madam's trust, as long as she was careful, at least before Xiaoyu came out, no one would discover their mysterious disappearance.
She would try her best to return to Lie Yun before Xiaoyu was dealt with. At that time, she would look for the whereabouts of the key mentioned by her uncle.
She had to open the immortal city before Candle Dragon Cult.
Otherwise, the Candle Dragon Cult would probably cause another catastrophe.
She did not want to see that mysterious bloody ceremony for the second time.
Things were progressing smoothly as she had guessed.
Xin Mu was very cunning. He sent different people to spy on Ning Qiu and find out all the information about her.
But the King and Wanyan Lie were very meticulous people. Even if there were several more Xin Mu, they might not be able to solve the trap they set up together.
According to the information obtained by the Xin Family, when Madam Jingrou gave birth, she had a boy and a girl.
But due to some reasons, the son was sent to another place to be raised.
And Ning Qiu was given to a farmer.
As time passed, things changed. Maybe it was because Madam Jingrou missed her daughter, or it was a coincidence.
When Ning Qiu returned to the palace, she pretended to be a palace maid. In fact, she was raised as a princess.
And this "Princess", who lived among the common people, showed some talent inherited from her mother's family since she was a child.
As for what this talent was, it was probably a secret that attracted the attention of the Xin Family.
Although these things sounded like the Arabian Nights, only Lin Mengya knew that it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the lies.
Moreover, Ning Qiu's identity as "Princess" was also a kind of encouragement and reward for her.
They all knew that once the task was completed, Ning Qiu's identity as "Princess" would be announced to the world.
At that time, she would really become Princess, Xiaoyu's biological sister.
That was why Ning Qiu would work harder than anyone else, because a favored Wang Ji was much more useful than a cold Gu Lady.
She could understand this point, and Ning Qiu would understand it better than her.
"Miss, Ning Qiu sent a message saying that Madam Xin Mu wants to invite her to a banquet. You told her not to go out these few days. How do you think she should respond? "
These two days, Ning Qiu had been following Lin Mengya's instructions. She did not go out easily, nor did she meet anyone easily.
Lin Mengya also received a lot of news one after another.
The most important one was that the day after tomorrow was the day to feed the Gu King.
But because of the riot a few days ago, it was getting harder to control the Ten Thousand Gu Pool.
Moreover, because of the awakening of the Venomous Ice Jade Cicada, those venomous insects would not easily listen to the orders of the elders of the Xin Family.
The only person who could suppress those venomous insects was Xin Li, but he could not come back in time.
If the Gu King was not fed in time, the whole Lieyun would suffer.
This was a bad thing for the Xin Family, but it was a good thing for her and Xiaoyu.
