"Mrs. Chai, please don't be so pessimistic yet. I think Miss Chai is not hopeless."
She thought slightly and said with a smile.
"Miss Gong, what can you do?"
Mrs. Chai was also sick and rushed to the doctor, looking at her with wide eyes.
"In my opinion, your lady must have been bewitched in some way. If you want to help me, you can first trick me out of what you saw. Only in this way can I help you, right?"
Lin Mengya whispered in Madam Chai's ear.
A madman has no sense at all.
Therefore, Miss Chai is definitely not crazy.
She smiled at Mrs. Chai and told her not to say anything.
Gong Wu didn't hear the conversation between them, but after saying goodbye to Mr. Cai as usual, he took her to the next house.
But what surprised Lin Mengya was that after going to several houses in a row, those people only said that they didn't see anything.
It seems that Miss Chai is indeed extraordinary.
Just after lunch, great-grandfather sent someone to look for her.
He said that someone from the palace was coming and asked her to go back quickly to greet them.
As soon as I entered the door, I felt the low air pressure inside.
Whether it was the palace family or the servants, almost everyone stared angrily at the hall.
"Jun'er, what's going on?"
Her close-fitting little cotton-padded jacket Jun'er came up to meet her, but there was a bit of anger on her cute little face.
"What's more, it's all the fault of His Highness Xi! Miss, please don't associate with him in the future! He goes back on his word and has two things to do. He is definitely the scum of scum!"
Scum is the vocabulary she taught Jun'er.
Unexpectedly, today, her men would use it first.
She raised her eyebrows and entered the outer hall. After taking off her cloak, she also listened to Jun'er's explanation of the process of becoming a dragon scumbag.
It turned out that the people inside were sent by Huang Zun to act as matchmakers.
But what he didn't expect was that he was not just a member of the Gong family.
In addition to her, there is another girl who wants to marry His Highness Xi.
How could the Gong family be willing to let their girl suffer that kind of injustice? They would break out on the spot.
If great-grandfather and Gong Bin hadn't been pressing him tightly, it would have been difficult for the eunuch to leave the Gong family safely.
But Lin Mengya wasn't too angry, she just felt strange.
According to Long Tianyu's temperament, this shouldn't be the case, so whose idea was it?
"Ancestor, the eldest lady is back."
The servant went in to announce, and the eyes of the people in the hall also focused on the door.
I saw a woman wearing a plain dress walking in slowly. She had an exquisite appearance. As soon as she entered, she seemed to bring in a ray of bright sunshine, and the whole hall lit up. > "Gong Ya has met great-grandfather. I wonder why great-grandfather called me here?"
Her attitude was so generous that even the eunuch who had served the emperor for thirty years could not find any fault with her.
"Mr. Gong is really well-educated. No wonder our high-minded Highness Xi won't marry anyone who is not an eldest lady."
The feminine voice was not unfamiliar to her, but she didn't recognize this person.
"I wonder who this lord is?"
"Our Li Rong is just an old servant in the palace. He can't stand the call of a master from the young lady."
The eunuch was about fifty years old, and his clothes were exquisite, but his face was pale and beardless, and he did not look like a cheerful person.
Lin Mengya knew that these people could not be offended, so she said with a smile.
"You're welcome, great-grandfather. If nothing happens, Gong Ya will retreat."
"Wait a minute, Miss Gong, our family is here with a decree today. His Majesty values the Gong family and you. So there are some things that I would like to ask Miss to give you."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, saying it so politely? I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
The eunuch smiled brightly, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a lot, looking like an old chrysanthemum newly blooming.
"That's it. Although our Highness Xi has a soft spot for Miss Gong, His Highness has a noble status after all. What Your Majesty means is that he hopes His Highness Xi can marry another young lady. Firstly, Miss Gong will have a companion in the future. Secondly,
Come on, you can also spread the branches and leaves for Your Highness as soon as possible. The more royal heirs, the better."
The old eunuch was very smart and knew how to use the emperor's dignity to suppress her.
But how can Lin Mengya be so easy to deal with? A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her smile was as gentle as she could be.
"I'm sorry, father-in-law, I don't agree."
Li Rong was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that she would refuse.
Lin Mengya looked at his expression and sneered in her heart, but her face became more and more kind.
"You didn't hear clearly just now, right? I said, no."
Every word she spoke, her attitude was firm.
Li Rong finally reacted, but he sighed and said in a regretful tone.
"Our family also knows that it must be a bit difficult for the young lady to accept it now. But Miss Gong, you have to understand that His Highness Xi is not an ordinary man. He cannot guard one person in his life."
Speaking of this, Lin Mengya felt that there was no need to continue to talk in circles.
Li Rong is Huang Zun's slave. If he dares to say this, it means Huang Zun thinks so too.
"That's right, Your Highness Xi cannot guard someone alone. It's a pity that I, Gong Ya, am not an ordinary person. When my father-in-law goes back, he might as well follow His Majesty
I replied, saying that even if I, Gong Ya, cannot get married in this life, I will never share the same husband with anyone else. Also, when my father-in-law goes back, don’t forget to tell His Majesty. It doesn’t matter if you don’t marry me. When the time comes, he will like you the most.
My nephew has no descendants, even if it is an imperial edict, it is like a piece of waste paper in front of me, I can't bear to obey it!"
After she said these words domineeringly, she left calmly.
Li Rong's nose was so angry that he had been working as an errand for so many years, but he had never seen anyone dare to talk back to His Majesty like this.
The Gong family members were also stunned for a moment, but no one stood up to apologize.
Instead, they all stared at Li Rong with eager eyes, wishing to eat him alive.
"Mr. Gong, your great-granddaughter has a really tough temper. If our family can't do errands, we will naturally go back to collect the punishment. But the Gong family should better discipline their daughter!"
Gong Qianfeng looked at the eunuch with a gloomy expression. Although Xiaoya's behavior just now was a bit unrestrained, he actually had no intention of stopping it.
"As members of the Gong family, it's not your turn to speak."
Gong Er had already gained a reputation, and the eunuchs did not dare to confront him head-on.
This is probably the first time in their careers that they have been expelled.
"Miss, everyone has left."
In the yard, Jun'er hurriedly reported the next situation.
Lin Mengya nodded, but didn't panic at all.
"Miss, aren't you afraid?"
Jun'er was born into a royal family, so he naturally knew the hidden rules.
Lin Mengya only asked her one question.
"Did you feel good just now?"
Jun'er thought for a moment, then secretly nodded.
"It feels good, that's right. If we feel good, the Emperor will be unhappy. However, he will not blame me."
"How could it be? Didn't you drive the old eunuch away?"
"I drove him away, but I didn't ask him to come. Look, someone is going to be unlucky."
What she said was so cloudy and foggy that Yun'er was a little confused.
But no matter how confused she was, she knew one thing. What her young lady said was definitely not wrong.
As soon as night fell, Long Tianyu was invited to the palace.
He had been busy investigating the corpse all day long. The emperor was considerate of his hard work, so he spared him the trouble of paying his respects.
He didn't know why he was in such a hurry.
"I have met His Majesty."
In the imperial study room, the emperor's face did not look good.
Long Tianyu didn't understand and couldn't speak easily.
The emperor stared at his beloved nephew for a long time before he asked.
"Xi'er, what do you like about Gong Ya?"
< br> Long Tianyu was stunned. Seeing the seriousness in Huang Zun's eyes, he could only answer.
"My nephew likes her as a person, including everything about her."
"Are you really not going to marry anyone other than Gong Ya?"
"yes."
"What if it's my order?"
Long Tianyu raised his head and looked at the Emperor firmly.
"Even if it is your order, my nephew will definitely not obey it."
The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. With a sweep of his hand, everything on the imperial desk was swept to the ground.
"Xi'er, you disappoint me so much! You're just a woman. How could you be so rebellious?"
There was deep disappointment in Huang Zun's tone.
But Long Tianyu still didn't flinch, and there was a hint of bad premonition in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this is my nephew's wish, and it will never change. Please fulfill it, Your Majesty."
Seeing how determined he was, the Emperor became even more furious.
"You! You! Someone, please keep Murong Xi in the palace for me. You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
The emperor was so angry that few people dared to disobey him like this.
Today was a good day, two came.
Murong Xi is no longer the Murong Xi of the past. He stood there and looked at the emperor intently.
"Your Majesty, my nephew has important matters, so I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you. There are a lot of things going on outside, so please forgive me."
"Xi'er, you are so presumptuous!"
The emperor slapped the imperial case and shouted loudly.
Long Tianyu was also aroused, and he just stood there without any sign of bowing his head.
"You uncle and nephew, what are you arguing about?"
Just when the two of them were at an impasse, a gentle voice came from outside the door.
Then, the graceful queen appeared in front of the two of them.
The phoenix eyes moved around, passing over the Emperor and Murong Xi.
I was slightly surprised, why was the quarrel like this?
"Yan'er, why are you here?"
After all, the emperor respects the queen. Seeing her coming, his expression softened a lot.
"I have met Your Majesty. I am bringing soup to His Majesty. Unexpectedly, I heard the voices of your uncle and nephew outside. Xi'er, please apologize to your uncle quickly. The relationship between uncle and nephew is just like the relationship between father and son.
, why is it so tense?"
After all, the queen is a smart person. She knows the tempers of the uncle and nephew, and she also knows that the emperor's face cannot be compromised.
"My nephew is not wrong, why should I admit it?"
Who would have thought that Murong Xi would also become a stubborn person today.
The queen was a little surprised, but the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
