"Take care of it. Don't leave any traces."
Baili Wuchen took a deep breath. The snowy night was so cold that it almost hurt his heart and lungs.
The one-eyed man looked at the gate of Ningqing Palace with a complicated expression. After a rare moment of hesitation, he pushed the door open and entered the yard.
Unlike the mess outside, the yard of Ningqing Palace was quiet, and the snow was not trampled.
Only a road about three meters wide was cleared, leading straight to the main hall.
"You guys wait here."
Baili Wuchen left the twelve elite soldiers behind him and walked step by step to the main hall of Ningqing Palace.
Before entering the room, he smelled a plum blossom fragrance.
Subconsciously looking for the source of the fragrance, he happened to see the red plum blossoms outside the window of the main hall.
He stood there in a daze. Most of the courtyards in the capital were planted with plum trees, but none of them were in full bloom at this time.
"Lord Baili, you are really in a good mood to stand here and enjoy the plum blossoms."
Suddenly there was a tease behind him. His body shook slightly, and a lot of emotions flashed through his one eye. Finally, he calmed down.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
At the door of the main hall, Lin Mengya, wearing a red fox fur cloak, stood at the door and looked at him with a smile.
Hearing the way Baili Wuchen addressed her, she just raised her eyebrows slightly.
She knew that Baili Wuchen had always had some prejudice against her, but now he really accepted her.
It could be said that no discord, no concord.
"No need to be so polite, please come in."
He thought that the meeting between the two would be a little awkward.
After all, she had stabbed Baili Wuchen's eyes with her own hands, no matter at that time, whether he really fell out with the prince or just pretended to be acting.
She would certainly not shirk her mistake.
He followed Lin Mengya into the main hall. The room was not filled with the sweet warmth of incense. Instead, it was filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance that made one's mind clear.
He knew that the princess had always been a very special woman, but it was the first time he smelled such a medicinal fragrance.
His Highness had always been a very accurate person.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
On the warm couch, the neatly dressed Imperial Noble Consort also looked at Baili Wuchen expectantly.
She knew that this young man came from outside and would bring news about her son.
"No need to be so polite, sit down."
Although the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law weren't related by blood, they were equally straightforward and wouldn't stick to trifles.
"What's the situation outside? Did Wangye have any message for you to bring in? "
Lin Mengya asked. Baili Wuchen was surprised. He thought that the princess would ask whether the prince was injured or not.
Seeing Baili Wuchen's expression, Lin Mengya smiled faintly.
"That guy definitely won't get hurt. Otherwise, he'll just make me sad."
There were some things that she and Long Tianhao had already understood each other. There was no need for other words to embellish it.
Baili Wuchen calmed himself down and got back to business.
"I used the Crown Prince's name to negotiate with the people in the Cabinet of Ministers. They have already agreed to support the Crown Prince as Emperor at the critical moment."
The Cabinet of Ministers, a place that only a few members of the royal family knew about, was the Crown Prince's last resort.
The founding emperor of this dynasty relied on military force to ascend to the throne. Later generations of the dynasty's descendants often caused chaos because of the change of the throne.
Therefore, when a certain emperor ascended to the throne with the support of the aristocratic families, he established the Cabinet of Ministers.
The Cabinet of Ministers was composed of eight important officials in the court. They had certain privileges and enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and glory.
At the same time, although the descendants of the families that joined the Cabinet of Ministers could inherit their positions, they had to hide in the dark. They were not allowed to become officials in the court or join the army.
Moreover, their role was to ensure that the country of Dajin would not fall into the hands of outsiders.
From the point of view of a modern person, this was tantamount to raising a tiger in her bosom.
But at that time, the emperor also wanted to transform them into retainers of the Long family, so that they could become the most loyal guards of the Long family.
In fact, in the past, the Cabinet of Ministers used to do this.
But things changed quickly. The leaders of this team had changed several times.
Who could endure this kind of dark days forever?
Therefore, they had long been ready to make a move. But they had not found the right opportunity.
"What's the price?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"The price is that after the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will allow their descendants under the age of 25 to become officials in the court."
Baili Wuchen's expression was the same as Lin Mengya's. That idiot was eager to gain power. He did not know that this was tantamount to taking drastic measures.
This was the difference between a Crown Prince and a prince. One had long been fascinated by the throne, while the other, no matter where and when, could maintain a clear mind.
"What a good game of chess. Inject fresh blood into the court. Nothing can be seen in a short period of time. But wait for these people to grow up. Then, they will be able to completely control the affairs in the court. These people are ambitious, but unfortunately, they are not good at foresight. "
Hearing this, Lin Mengya only sneered and shook her head. Those people in the Cabinet of Ministers had been in the dark for too long.
With a little bit of light, they thought that they could seize the opportunity to completely change their situation.
They were extremely stupid!
"I'm afraid they don't know that although the emperor who founded the Cabinet of Ministers valued them, he might have left a backup plan. It's not good for any power to be too strong. Now it's time for them to reflect. "
Baili Wuchen did not speak, because he had already seen these things clearly.
On the contrary, Lin Mengya just asked a few questions, and then no longer entangled in this issue.
"The Crown Prince sent you here. He must be angry, right?"
What came next was the key point. Her man was fighting desperately outside, and she could not just be trapped in the rear.
She was not good at leading troops to war, but she felt that it was not difficult for her to be a hostage.
"Yes, I suggested to the Crown Prince to marry you on the day of ascending the throne. The Crown Prince readily agreed, and wanted to make the Imperial Noble Concubine a camp prostitute. He intended to humiliate the prince to avenge today's hatred. "
Baili Wuchen was definitely a talent. He could say these things so calmly.
But Lin Mengya and the Imperial Noble Concubine were even more talented. They were obviously extremely insulting, but after hearing it, they were not angry at all.
After all, who would care about a joke?
"Oh? Is he going to marry me? Or is he going to take me as a concubine? I guess it must be a noble concubine. After all, I am Princess Rong An, and it is not good to offend me completely, is it? "
Lin Mengya smiled very gently, which made Baili Wuchen break out in a cold sweat.
As a former member of the prince's mansion, he had heard about it, and even personally experienced the means of the princess.
From then on, he made up his mind that in this life, he could offend the heaven, the earth, and the prince, but he could never offend the princess.
"Uh … the Crown Prince is just wishful thinking."
To be honest, Baili Wuchen was a little expectant.
After all, once the princess personally took action, the Crown Prince would definitely die a wonderful death.
"Since that's the case, I'll satisfy his dreams. Later, you go back and tell him that I agree. As long as he can successfully ascend the throne, I will marry him. "
Lin Mengya's expression was not very ferocious, but there was a flash of bloodthirst in her eyes.
In a sense, she was definitely the same kind of person as Long Tianhao.
She thought that in modern society, she chose to study medicine, probably because doctors were the only profession in the world that could cut people with a knife, and they did not have to pay legal liability.
Of course, this was just a joke.
But Lin Mengya knew that she had never been a magnanimous person.
The hatred of being offended, insulted, and trampled, she must fight back personally and take revenge.
"Yes, I know. I will arrange it now, and I hope the princess will succeed. "
Baili Wuchen had brought the news, and Lin Mengya's cooperation was also something he expected.
He called the twelve elite guards from outside, and watched them put the clothes and jewelry in their hands on the table in the main hall one by one.
The familiar dress was like a red cloud.
When she first returned to this world, all she saw was this bewitching red.
At that time, she only wanted to protect herself, but now, she had already disturbed the world.
The phoenix coronet and the robe were full of a luxurious and noble temperament.
Lin Mengya did not pay attention to it at first, but the Imperial Noble Consort, who had been sitting beside, looked carefully.
"Well, this doesn't seem to be the rule for concubines, does it?"
Not the rule for concubines?
Lin Mengya looked back at the wedding dress again. The phoenix coronet was decorated with pearls and jade, and it was made of a nine-winged golden phoenix.
The neckline and cuffs of the wedding dress were also made of authentic bright yellow.
This … this was clearly the wedding dress of the Empress's wedding!
"Yes, this was prepared by the Prince himself for you, Your Highness. His Highness has said that he hopes to marry you again as a wife. "
Baili Wuchen said slowly at this time, and Lin Mengya's pink face was stained with a touch of red.
"The Prince is considerate, and so are you."
She reached out her fingers and gently touched the soft and smooth material of the wedding dress.
Her heart was always moved by him, and a warm current called happiness gradually flowed from her heart to her limbs and bones.
She knew what he was thinking, and she understood his painstaking efforts.
Only a couple for the rest of their lives, this was his promise to her.
"In this case, I'm lucky to not disappoint you. Your Highness, I'll take my leave. "
Baili Wuchen saluted and walked out of Ning Qing Hall.
Several women in the room, including Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, couldn't help smiling.
"Mother … I'm sorry."
Lin Mengya never knew that she was so thin-skinned.
She angrily glared at the girl who had been spoiled by her, but she couldn't stop everyone's laughter.
