The Crown Prince's army in the palace confronted the army led by Long Tianhao and assisted by several other princes outside for another day.
The night came as scheduled, and Lin Mengya had been at the window for almost an hour.
But the others in the room also understood her worries at this time, so no one spoke to disturb her meditation.
"Master, the person who sent the dinner is here."
Baisu, who had just gone out to check the situation, came back and reported to Lin Mengya in a low voice.
The latter immediately understood what she meant and turned around with a little surprise on her face.
"Who sent it?"
Baisu attached to her ear and said the person who had made her wait for a long time.
"Please come in. Remember, don't let anyone find you."
After Lin Mengya told her, Baisu immediately nodded and quietly went out of the bedroom.
"Who is it? Why are you so surprised?"
It was really annoying to wait. The Imperial Noble Consort went behind the desk and drew plum blossoms by the window.
She had heard that her mother-in-law was a famous lady who was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Today, she saw that she was really extraordinary.
Other women always liked to embroider flowers or make shoe soles when they had nothing to do.
But look at her hobby, how elegant and romantic!
The more Lin Mengya looked at her, the more ashamed she felt. It seemed that as a woman, she really had no skills to show in this time and space.
"I, Zhao Ran, pay my respects to the Imperial Noble Consort and the Princess."
The one who came in behind Baisu was Zhao Ran, the palace maid who had helped her in the imperial study.
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui had no impression of her, but because she was the person her daughter-in-law valued, her attitude was particularly kind.
How could Lin Mengya bear to let her kneel? She immediately helped her up.
"I'm grateful for Sister Zhao's previous help. Now you come to help us again. I will never forget this great kindness. "
Since Zhao Ran could come, she must have something to tell her.
Lin Mengya was not stupid. Of course, she knew that with Zhao Ran's identity, the news she brought must be very beneficial to them.
However, Zhao Ran, who had grown up in the palace since she was a child, was at a loss for the sincerity of the former princess and the current princess.
She could only rub the corner of her clothes and speak carefully.
"This servant is not worthy of being called elder sister by Princess. It is just that this servant has received great kindness from Madam Lin. If it wasn't for Madam Lin, this servant wouldn't have been able to live until now. So, if I can be of even the slightest bit of help to the Princess, then this servant is willing to die. "
Zhao Ran spoke sincerely. What kind of people were Lin Mengya and the Imperial Noble Consort? Whether they were sincere or not, they could see through it with just one sentence.
Now they all believed Zhao Ran's words, but what made Lin Mengya feel even more incredulous.
It was as if a gentle but powerful hand was guiding her, and all the good deeds that her mother had done in the past would turn into good karma and be returned to her.
The corners of her eyes were slightly moist, but she quickly concealed it.
Even if she was touched, even if she wanted to cry, she still wanted to wait until everything was over before she could act recklessly.
Now, she must be patient.
"Madame Lin, she — is really a heroine among women. As a woman trapped in the palace, I only feel ashamed. I heard about how Madam Lin was poisoned to death in the palace. It's just … I'm so ashamed. If it weren't for Madam Lin, I wouldn't have such a good life now. "
The Imperial Noble Consort's voice was low, and she really regretted it.
If she had been braver and not thought about how to protect herself all day long, she might have been able to save the lady of the Lin family.
Thinking about it, for so many years, she didn't even dare to reveal her true temperament, but what did she get?
The cold position of the Imperial Noble Consort, and even her own son was involved in this hopeless abyss.
Maybe in the past, she shouldn't have allowed her temperament to marry into this man-eating palace.
"Mother, you don't have to blame yourself so much. It was not easy for you to struggle under the hands of the Empress. Besides, you couldn't have stopped the hatred between my mother and the Empress. If you had really been involved at that time. I'm afraid that by now, you and my husband have already turned into the earth. So don't take this matter to heart. "
Lin Mengya turned her head, smiled gently, and her tone was extremely sincere.
She really didn't blame the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, because she knew that there were too many things in the world that couldn't be managed just because she wanted to.
When she read the Journey to the West in modern times, she always felt that Tang Seng was too meddlesome.
He wanted to be involved in bad things, and he had to join in the fun when he was doing good things.
There were 81 difficulties, and how many of them were the troubles he brought upon himself?
The Journey to the West was not so much a documentary about the Buddhist scriptures as a journey of four people doing chivalrous deeds.
But later, she understood that the reason why Tang Seng dared to do so was that he had the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, who had extraordinary combat power, as well as the Marshal Canopy and the Curtain Lifting General, who were connected to the Heavenly Court.
At the very least, the horse he rode was the Dragon King's Crown Prince, the noble and handsome immortal.
With such a powerful strength, he dared to go around the Immortal World. What kind of trouble did he dare not to deal with?
Therefore, she was determined to be a powerful behind-the-scenes boss like Tang Seng.
She only needed to wave her little hand for anything, and someone would automatically jump out to settle it for her.
But before she could run amok in the world, she had to behave with her tail between her legs.
Therefore, she understood very well how the Imperial Noble Consort felt at the beginning.
"Good girl, you are always so tolerant and generous. In the future, I will definitely protect you with my life. Even if that brat provokes you, I will definitely stand on your side! "
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui didn't expect that the child was so sensible. The guilt in her heart gradually turned into a stronger love for Lin Mengya.
She knew her son better than anyone else.
In the past, because of His Majesty's education, although Yu 'er looked calm on the surface, his temperament was too gloomy.
Not to mention the ladies in the capital city, even she, as his mother, always felt that she couldn't get close to him.
Although Jinyue was also familiar with him, she always felt that there was a mountain between them.
But since Lin Mengya entered the mansion, the child's defense had gradually melted.
All of this was thanks to Ya 'er.
Seeing the harmony between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhao Ran also smiled.
There was relief and shame in her eyes.
After being rescued by Madam, she had been thinking about how to repay Madam's kindness.
But because of her identity, there had been no chance in these years.
Seeing that Miss Lin's mother-in-law also loved Miss Lin so much, Lin Mengya felt that her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was gradually relieved.
"Look at me, I talk a lot when I'm old. Zhao Ran, right? Is there anything you want to tell Ya 'er? "
The Imperial Noble Consort wiped her tears and said with some embarrassment.
Because he had let go of the knot in his heart, Zhao Ran smiled more.
"It's my negligence. I almost forgot the business. Your Majesty, Princess, in fact, it was not the Crown Prince's idea to raise the army this time, but Princess Tiancheng's idea. It was also her who asked the Empress to participate in this matter. "
What? Princess Tiancheng?
Lin Mengya was taken aback by the news.
She never thought that it was not the Crown Prince's idea to raise the army to rebel, but Princess Tiancheng's!
"How did you know? Is the news accurate?"
Lin Mengya grabbed Zhao Ran's hand and asked in a low voice.
Zhao Ran thought for a moment and then said.
"I have been working hard in the palace all these years and don't like to form cliques. The Empress trusts me very much and let me take charge of the Imperial Kitchen. Princess Tiancheng looks a little innocent, but in fact, she is cruel and merciless. In the past, there were several little maids in the Imperial Kitchen who couldn't figure out her temper and were later beaten to death. In order not to let those little maids be harmed, I always send them to the Imperial Kitchen in person. After a long time, the people around Princess Tiancheng lowered their guard against me. That's why I can hear these things. "
Zhao Ran's words made sense. She had pretended to be deaf and dumb in this palace for so many years. In the eyes of the Princess and the Empress, a person like Zhao Ran was just a dead person who was still alive.
Therefore, they might lower their guard against Zhao Ran.
But this news was so shocking that Lin Mengya couldn't digest it for a while.
She had long known that Princess Tiancheng was not a law-abiding woman, but she urged her mother and brother to rebel.
It was unwise to do this, wasn't it?
"Didn't they tell you why Princess Tiancheng did this?"
Lin Mengya felt that there were some things that didn't make sense.
Not to mention that there was a certain degree of danger in forcing the Empress to abdicate and rebel. If Princess Tiancheng really wanted to help her brother ascend the throne, she could disguise herself and then assassinate her brothers.
"By the way, where was Princess Tiancheng after the accident?"
Although Zhao Ran was not good at analyzing people's minds, it was not difficult for her to inquire about this kind of thing.
"I heard from the palace servants that since the accident, Princess Tiancheng has been in the Empress's palace and hasn't come out. And … and the food in the Empress's palace is a little strange recently. In the past, it was the maids who sent the meals directly to an aunt who served the Empress. But in recent days, the meals have been handed over to an aunt who served the Empress outside the palace. I seem to have seen this aunt several times in the Princess's bedroom. But the Princess has not eaten with the Empress in recent days, so I find it strange. "
Zhao Ran was as meticulous as dust, so even if she didn't say it, she kept it in her heart.
Lin Mengya also felt a little strange. After looking at the Imperial Noble Consort, the latter had the same doubts as her in her eyes.
