Lin Mengya felt relieved, knowing that this damn man probably understood what she meant.
But there was an impatient look on his face.
"His Highness didn't specify what kind of tea he wanted me to bring, so he was just making things difficult for others at will. Although I, Gong Ya, am not a wealthy person, I am not someone who can be bullied at will. If Your Highness is not satisfied, you can find someone else.
Serve!”
These words made other people in the flower hall change their expressions.
Murong Xi was indeed deliberately trying to embarrass Gong Ya.
This can be seen after the two of them met.
But what surprised them was Gong Ya's attitude.
Remember, before, didn't she still have the attitude of being submissive and making peace with others?
"snort!"
Murong Xi seemed to be really angry, and looked at Gong Ya with a cold look in her eyes.
"Who do you think you are talking to?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Murong Xi was completely angered at this time.
But Gong Ya looked like she was crazy and said regardless.
"Your Highness's status is so valuable, does it mean he can be unreasonable? If people with high status in the world can bully those who are lower than themselves, then what's the point of having laws?"
"Are you saying I broke the law? Or that I acted recklessly?"
"That's what His Highness said himself, I didn't say it!"
With a 'bang' sound, the copper plate fell to the ground, and the grapes on it also fell all over the ground.
Gong Ya seemed to be frightened and looked blankly at Murong Xi in front of her.
Gong Wu secretly screamed something bad, stepped forward, grabbed his sister's sleeve, and knelt in front of Murong Xi.
"Your Highness, please calm down. My little sister was arrogant and lost her sense of proportion. When Gong Yu goes back, she will be disciplined strictly and she will not dare to disobey His Highness again!"
Although even the family members were surprised, their reaction speed was also very fast.
Master Lian and Mrs. Lian immediately began to plead for mercy. Murong Xi's face was extremely ugly, but at least Gong Ya had already knelt down to admit her mistake, so she did not continue to get angry.
"I don't have to worry about today's matter, Gong Ya, just take care of yourself!"
Murong Xi finally let go, and Gong Wu immediately pulled his sister, thanked her and left.
The two of them walked out of the yard quickly. Gong Wu breathed a sigh of relief after finally sending his sister to the carriage.
"What happened today? Just now, it really scared me. I know you don't like this domineering His Highness Xi, but this is in Longdu or the Lian family, so you should be more tolerant."
Gong Wu's tone was not that of blame. In fact, he didn't like His Highness Xi very much.
However, today is the Lian family's home court. The two brothers and sisters are not afraid of Murong Xi. But it would be bad if the Lian family was involved.
"Fifth brother, someone wants to harm Uncle Lian's family."
Her voice was so low that only the two siblings could hear her.
Gong Wu reacted very quickly. After hearing her words, he opened the curtain of the carriage, pretended to be casual, and looked around.
"There is indeed someone around the Lian family, do you know who they are?"
The expressions of the two siblings became serious. Gong Wu knew that his sister was definitely not the kind of person who would do anything willful.
Lin Mengya shook her head.
"Now I only know that they sent the grapes in Murong Xi's name. When you go back later, you must use a secret method to remind the Lian family."
Her cooperation with Long Tianyu just now has made Putao lose the possibility of poisoning Lian's family.
Long Tianyu must have understood what she meant, but without a domestic thief, how could he attract outside ghosts?
I don't know if there was a problem on Long Tianyu's side, or if it was the root cause of the problem that was planted by the Lian family.
In short, if they act rashly, they will not have the upper hand.
"I understand. How about I have someone take you home first?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and rejected his proposal.
"You saw it just now, right? There are already those people's informants around the Lian Mansion. If I leave now, there is no guarantee that they will not catch up. Today in the mansion, except for the Lian family and His Highness Xi, there will be no one after us.
We are two brothers and a sister. If their purpose is also ours, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous if I am left alone?"
In fact, there was another reason why she didn't leave.
Judging from the evidence currently available, the other party used Long Tianyu's name to attempt to murder Lian's family.
This is why she, alone in the tea bowl, left clues to Long Tianyu.
Obviously, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, there will be discord between the Lian family and Long Tianyu.
There are too many places to make an article about this matter.
Therefore, she must let Long Tianyu know in advance so as to seize the opportunity.
"Okay, remember, if anything goes wrong, don't worry about anything. Find a safe place to hide yourself. Don't worry about me, you know?"
Gong Wu weighed it up and found that now the Gong family and the Lian family were advancing and retreating together.
Besides, he must go in again and inform Lian Shibo and the others.
Nodding, Lin Mengya told Gong Wu not to worry about herself.
Gong Wu was still a little uneasy, but with Lin Mengya's repeated assurances, he returned to Lian Mansion again.
Time passes minute by minute.
Lin Mengya just felt like the days were passing by, and she was very anxious inside. But now, she couldn't do anything at all.
She has done everything she can, and the only thing she can do to help now is not to cause trouble for them. ??
However, since Long Tianyu is here, she doesn't need to worry too much about everything.
She knows her own man better than anyone else, right?
At this moment, the man Lin Mengya longed for was sitting in the flower hall, with a gloomy face, but his mind was racing up and down.
How on earth did she do it?
Murong Xi only felt that it was a little strange. He had just opened the cup of tea that she brought to him just now, and he saw two vaguely legible words on the cup - 'poisonous'!
The writing was brown and disappeared quickly.
But he knew clearly that this must be a warning given to him by Gong Ya.
What is poisonous? He suddenly remembered that she seemed to have paid a lot of attention to the grapes in the copper plate just now.
Without thinking much, he found a reason and knocked over the copper plate.
Sure enough, I saw an expression of relief in her eyes.
Not to mention how she discovered it, these grapes belonged to her, so she asked someone to deliver them to Lian's house.
After all, who wants to frame him?
"Your Highness Xi, I have offended many things today. I hope Your Highness will not blame Gong Ya. She is just a girl, so she will inevitably be a little arrogant. Your Highness is very tolerant and must not want to argue with her as a girl."
Lian Sheng stood up and said everything he said to Gong Ya.
Of course Murong Xi was not really angry, but the drama still had to be done.
Gong Ya didn't give a clear warning just now, so there must be some fraud involved.
It seems that today, they have become a turtle in a urn.
"That's all."
He spoke coldly, seeming a little impatient.
Lian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't say much.
Taking advantage of the situation, he greeted people and served tea to everyone again.
"Don't be too busy drinking tea. I have something I want to ask Mr. Lian."
"I don't dare, just say so, Your Highness."
"How long has Lord Lien been the commander of the Praetorian Guards?"
Lian Sheng didn't understand what it meant, but he still lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering.
"It's been more than five years."
"In that case, Master Lian must be well aware of all the defense points in Longdu?"
Seeing how interested he was, Liansheng had no choice but to nod.
Mu Rong Xi pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.
"Then what happened on the fifth day of March in the fifteenth year of Yongchang, what if an adult did it?"
Lian Sheng was stunned and looked at Murong Xi in confusion.
The latter's eyes were unsettled, making him unpredictable.
Could it be that thing?
"I just feel that what is happening today is very similar to that time. I heard that the Emperor was very tolerant at that time, and he must have set an example for us, and we should follow suit."
When Murong Xi finished speaking the last word, the eyes of Lian Sheng and Master Lian changed slightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Lian Xing, who didn't understand at all, was about to ask a question, but saw Gong Wu coming in again after returning.
"Brother Gong Wu, you are back."
He immediately greeted him, but Gong Wu quickly spoke a word with his lips when only two people saw it.
This was something they were used to playing on a whim when they were young, so now, even Xing understood what he meant in an instant.
"Lian Xing, go over to your mother's side. She has something to tell you. Your Highness Xi, I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
Lian Xing immediately walked to Mrs. Lian, who didn't know anything. The flower hall suddenly fell silent.
"My lord, I will go with you."
Murong Xi stood up and said. After Lian Sheng hesitated for a moment, he nodded.
But as soon as the two people left the flower hall, they saw outside the door, Xu Yan, a tea doctor who was loyal to the Lian family, had fallen to the ground, and his life or death was unknown.
Behind him, the attendant who had followed Gong Ya and accompanied her to the kitchen, lowered his head and stood aside.
"Xu Yan, what's going on?"
He walked over three steps in a row, but suddenly changed his direction midway and struck the attendant with his palm.
The man's reaction speed was also top-notch, he bounced away in an instant, and in his hand was a half-arm-long dagger.
"It's you!"
Lian Sheng shouted bitterly, he was in the mansion today and did not bring a saber.
However, a pair of fleshy palms were not afraid of the opponent's sharp blade and faced him.
"What are you waiting for? Take action!"
The man was forced so hard that he pulled his neck and shouted.
Suddenly, many strangers with sharp knives rushed out of the yard and pressed over them instantly.
"Your Highness, please go back to the flower hall first!"
It is difficult for two fists to beat four hands. What's more, these people come prepared, their martial arts are very fierce, and their moves are all aimed at killing people.
Murong Xi did not answer, but instead drew out the long sword from his waist and joined the battle group.
