On the way here, those people treated her relatively well, neither helping her eyes nor doing anything extreme to her.
This should be the back office of Tianji Mansion. The room she is currently in has a bed and chairs, but it is very simple.
It seems that the sergeant is really kind.
Although someone brought her hot water, there were still people watching outside.
Lin Mengya didn't plan to go out like this, at least not now.
On the surface, someone framed her for this matter, but in fact, they were probably being targeted from the moment they entered the city.
She used Xiaoyu's name along the way, and those people also hired sergeants from the neutral Tianji Pavilion to arrest them.
She knew exactly what she had planned. ??
So she pleaded guilty so that the impact could be kept to a minimum.
Moreover, this time they only took Xiaoyu's seal, and Xiaoyu himself did not follow. It has to be said that they escaped a disaster.
At the same time, Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in her heart.
How could it be such a coincidence that Xiaoyu was called away by the king at this moment? Could it be that the king was also an insider in this matter?
But soon, Lin Mengya overturned this possibility.
Your Majesty is not Emperor Jin Yuan. Although he is not lacking in the thoughts and means that an emperor should have, there are fundamental differences between Your Majesty and Emperor Jin Yuan.
Emperor Jin Yuan did not love anyone, all he cared about was his own throne.
But the king is different. In his heart, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu's biological mother are more important than anything else.
Besides, they are on the same front now.
Framing yourself will do no good to the king at all.
But Xiaoyu has too many people to deal with. Anyone who covets the throne will want to get rid of Xiaoyu.
That's why she wasn't sure.
Now it seems that the eldest prince is the most suspicious, because as long as this matter is related to Xiaoyu, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Xiaoyu.
If you murder the witch, let alone lose your status as prince, you will be despised even while you are alive.
Except for the eldest prince, I am afraid that no one else has such great ability.
What's more, in order to avoid suspicion, they actually went to great lengths to attract Tianji Pavilion.
Now, even the king must deal with it impartially.
Such powerful scheming and methods, but Lin Mengya knew that there were loopholes in these plots.
First, the time they come to the Witch Temple is not fixed. Even if those people send people to follow them, it can only be a hasty change of plan.
In any plan, even if it is absolutely thorough and detailed, there will always be some omissions, let alone a temporary change of plans.
Second, now she is absolutely sure , there is something wrong with the gatekeeper.
Not everyone can enter the witch temple, let alone the people in charge.
So when this conspiracy was first formed, it might not be what it is now.
It was only their temporary arrival that disrupted the other party's plan.
Third, how did the person who did it escape?
She had doubted the person in charge, after all, only the person in charge had come in before she entered.
But soon, she excluded that person.
The Divine Witch is not an ordinary person, she must have her own means to save her life.
And judging from the wounds, the person was stabbed shortly before she entered.
But she was outside and heard nothing.
This shows that the opponent must have extremely strong martial arts and methods, at least not inferior to Bai Su and Qing Hu.
Such masters should be rare, so the search should actually have a certain target range.
But she still didn't understand why the man left quietly when he was not completely sure about the life and death of the witch.
Lin Mengya closed her eyes slightly and reviewed the wounds on Master Shenwu's chest in front of her eyes.
Although she only took a quick glance, the wound was a little strange, like—
Outside the door, footsteps suddenly sounded.
Lin Mengya was awakened immediately and looked outside the door in a leisurely manner.
After a while, a man in casual clothes walked in.
Lin Mengya stood up and saluted.
"He Lan, see you sir."
The man's eyes narrowed, and he finally understood why his subordinates reported to him that this time the murderer was unusual.
I saw the woman in front of me. Although there was a lot of blood and dirt on her body, her eyes were calm and she showed no panic at all.
If such a woman is not really innocent, then she is a master in this way.
However, looking at her slender body and slightly bulging belly, she doesn't look like a martial arts master.
There was some concern in his mind, and his expression towards her also softened a lot.
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
Lin Mengya was not polite and sat down without any hesitation.
The adult looked at her for a long time before speaking.
"I heard that you have pleaded guilty and submitted to the law. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Lin Mengya smiled, her eyes clear and soft.
"Although I have confessed my guilt, it still depends on your Majesty whether I can be punished."
Song Qing raised his eyebrows and his eyes turned cold.
"It seems that you are going to retract your confession."
After shaking her head, Lin Mengya considered for a moment before answering.
"It's not that I want to retract my confession, but if you really want to convict me of murder, you have to find evidence, right? Although I don't understand the national law, I also know that Tianji Mansion is the most fair and just, so I plead guilty.
"
With these words, Song Qing understood that the person in front of him was a smart man. ??
Since you are a smart person, there is no need to follow her in circles.
After a slight hesitation, Song Qing said slowly.
"It was you who asked Ma Qiang to tell me to move Master Shenwu to a safe place and not tell anyone. It was you who said that this matter has nothing to do with Prince Jade, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed me."
She was so frank, but the words Song Qing had prepared were stillborn.
"What confidence do you have that I have to agree to it?"
Lin Mengya smiled brightly, like a flower in bloom.
"Because your Excellency is a good official."
Song Qing paused, not knowing how to react.
Lin Mengya stood up, held her belly, and bowed deeply to Song Qing.
"Because your Excellency is a good official, I don't want Lieyun to fall apart and the country to be in turmoil. I can't entrust this matter to anyone. Only entrusting it to Your Excellency is the safest thing. Your Excellency is as good as God in predicting things. In fact, many things may not be possible."
I can’t see clearly, but it’s just that it involves so much that adults have to keep a low profile.”
Lin Mengya's words made Song Qing's heart surge.
After a long time, he slowly exhaled and quickly helped the woman up.
"I have been in charge of Tianji Mansion for more than ten years. I have worked diligently and did not dare to violate the law. Unexpectedly, I was still involved in the struggle for power. Miss Gaoyi, your confession not only saved Prince Jade, but also saved my life.
How many innocent people are there?"
Lin Mengya smiled and shook her head. She knew that this man was also a smart person.
From the beginning, there was something fishy about this matter.
Therefore, it's not that the people in Tianji Mansion can't understand, but they can only see through but not explain.
That's why they took every possible care of her, not only because she was pregnant and a woman, but more importantly, her confession gave Tianji Mansion the possibility of smooth sailing.
At this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Mengya is their benefactor.
"But sir, there is something I must say upfront. I cannot die, and I cannot even be held responsible for anything. Because once something happens to me, Lieyun will also fall into chaos."
Lin Mengya's expression was serious, which made Song Qing slightly stunned.
"What the girl means is——"
"Reality Let me tell you sir, my status is very special. If anything happens to me, Prince Jade will definitely be implicated, and disasters will also happen in Dajin and Lintian. I know this matter is embarrassing for you, sir, but
I also have to ask the Lord to take the trouble to deal with it."
Her confession was just to delay time and give Tianji Mansion a chance to breathe.
Song Qing frowned. He knew that the woman in front of him would never say such a thing for no reason.
Looking at her, Song Qing's eyes were a little complicated.
"What is your identity?"
Is she a noble girl from some family? But Song Qing soon realized that she wasn't.
Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, then shook her head apologetically.
"I can't tell you everything, at least not now. But one thing I can tell you is that my current name is Helan. I am the female officer next to you, and I am the person responsible for serving the king and Prince Jade closely."
After saying that, Lin Mengya took out the seal she used as a female officer from her arms.
Song Qing was surprised for a moment, then picked it up and took a closer look, but was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Sure enough, she is a female official in the palace, so what's in her belly, isn't it——
"Ahem, that adult misunderstood. I have been betrothed to someone else, and the child in my belly is not the king's child."
After seeing the horrified look in that adult's eyes, Lin Mengya knew that this guy was thinking about something.
After a dumbfounding explanation, the adult finally looked away from him, making the situation a little awkward.
"I will take care of this. Just stay here for now. If you need anything, just tell people outside. For the time being, don't worry about other things."
Your Excellency is a good official, and Lin Mengya doesn't want to embarrass him.
Smiling and nodding, the adult hurriedly left again. Lin Mengya guessed that he probably went to the palace.
The only thing she wants to pray now is that Xiaoyu will never get excited after knowing this.
Otherwise, someone will definitely get caught and take the initiative to attack.
Fortunately, not many people know her identity as Helan now.
She felt that those people should only know that she was the Jade Prince, and did not know other inside information.
Otherwise, this matter would not leave many doubts.
Putting her hand on her belly unconsciously, Lin Mengya was surprised to feel the movement of the baby in her belly.
Because she had been injured once before, although the baby's development was considered normal, she had never felt the fetal movement clearly.
She was worried a few days ago and asked her teacher to read a lot of medical books, fearing that the baby would have any adverse sequelae.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I felt the baby's fetal movement.
