Cai Ling was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect that she would ask this question so soon.
"Because, your brothers have asked me for help before, so I"
Lin Mengya looked at him with determination in her eyes.
With a faint sigh, Cai Ling shook his head and said helplessly.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
"So, are you still not going to tell me your true purpose? Cai Ling, we can only help each other over there."
She was right, so Cai Ling actually had no intention of hiding it forever.
"You know that our Cai family is the royal family of the previous dynasty, right?"
Lin Mengya nodded, there were quite a few people who knew about this matter.
"But what you don't know is that most of our Cai family were not killed by the emperor of this dynasty. Rather than saying that His Majesty was restraining me, it is better to say that he was trying to protect the last part of the Cai family.
of blood."
There was a touch of sadness on Cai Ling's delicate face.
But those eyes held an indescribable sadness.
"Actually, there were two families in the Cai family. One family was an imperial attendant of the previous royal family, and the other family has been in business for generations. Our family is the latter. But when the imperial power changed, the Cai family disappeared. So,
The royal family has become what it is now. Gong Ya, do you know why the imperial servants cannot have fiefdoms and have a transcendent status? That is because the imperial servants are sacrifices to the temple by the royal family and the royal family."
There was a cold smile on the corner of Cai Ling's mouth.
This was the first time she saw that shy young man smiling so bitterly and coldly.
"Sacrifice?"
These two words made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Well, actually, my father tried his best to find out about this matter. Even the current emperor doesn't know the inside story. This time I go, I am also planning to continue investigating the matter. Gong Ya, I know you
I'm very worried about me, but you can't interfere in this matter."
Cai Ling's attitude was very firm, and Lin Mengya also knew that everyone has their own choice.
Since Cai Ling was willing to tell her, it was also to let her understand the power of it.
"Okay, I promise you. But if you need my help, you must also tell me. The Jedi can't hide it from me! Otherwise, I will file a black case against you when I go back and let my brothers deal with it.
you."
Her 'threat' was so serious that Cai Ling had to agree immediately.
Lin Mengya also used this to divert her attention.
After letting out a faint sigh, she leaned against the car window in a daze.
I don’t know what the big one and the little one are doing now.
Almost before, Long Tianyu wanted to set off with her.
However, the subsequent cocoon incident forced him to stay in Longdu for a few more days. Inside.
After leaving the city gate, the Cai family's carriage was waiting for them on the road.
Cai Ling was a little worried, but she also felt that she seemed a little depressed because she missed her relatives.
He got out of the car silently, leaving her a quiet space.
The snow outside Longdu is gradually showing signs of civilization.
Spring has arrived as promised.
Although the New Year has just passed, the roads are not deserted at all.
Carriages from other aristocratic families kept passing by, presumably heading towards the temple.
"Didn't you say that only the top ten aristocratic families will go? Why are all these people running to the temple?"
Jun'er lay on the window and asked in confusion.
"The January Festival is the most important celebration of our country. It is to pray for good weather this year. Therefore, any aristocratic family with the conditions and ability will go. However, there are very few aristocratic families who can enter the temple.
."
The person who opened his mouth to explain was a martial artist named Li Xian.
After the Gong family was in trouble, Li Xian not only did not leave, but relied on his martial arts to earn food for the Gong family.
When Lin Mengya came back, he happened to be a temporary escort and went out with others to escort her.
Li Xian was a down-to-earth person and good at martial arts, so he became Lin Mengya's personal protective entourage this time.
"So that's the case, no wonder."
Jun'er was very relieved about Li Xian, so she chatted a few more words.
Bai Su didn't like to inquire as much as she did, so he just sat quietly next to Lin Mengya, holding a long sword in his hand.
When protecting her master, she will not trust anyone easily.
"Miss, it turns out that there are so many rules in this January Festival!"
After inquiring enough, Jun'er immediately came back and told Lin Mengya vividly.
Maybe he knew she was feeling bad, so he wanted to make her happy.
"By the way, miss, if we get to the temple, where will we stay?"
Lin Mengya turned her head and looked at Jun'er.
"Of course I live in a house. The Gong family has houses in the Holy City and Longdu."
"That's right, but miss, those families who don't like us are also going to the temple. What if they arrive first and do something in the house?"
Today's Jun'er is not simple-minded.
After hearing about it, she took action and took care of the Qingwei Guild Hall.
That's true
Lin Mengya was a little surprised, but it also showed that this girl Jun'er has great potential.
"We'll just have to be more careful then. By the way, Jun'er, do you have any clues about what I asked you to help me find out before?"
"They said that this matter is not easy to handle. It will take about three days for the news to be sent to me. I have arranged for someone to wait, and the news will be sent to us as soon as it arrives. Moreover, the owner of the museum also wants to
People who came to the temple. They wanted me to go with them, and I told them that I would go by myself. So, it didn’t arouse any suspicion."
I see, but why does the owner of Qingwei Guild Hall also want to go to the temple?
Lin Mengya knew that this matter must be a secret of the Qingwei Guild Hall, but she was afraid that it would not be easy to find out.
"Okay, you have to be careful about everything. When you get there, Bai Su, you will go with Jun'er. You must protect her."
Bai Sudian agreed. She knew that the master had His Highness by his side, so she probably didn't want to worry about it.
From Longdu to the Holy City, it takes more than ten days at the fastest.
They traveled day and night, and after walking for about three or four days, they were already exhausted.
"Miss, why do we have to leave in such a hurry?"
Li Xian is responsible for the safety and scheduling of the entire team, so he is also the most tiring one.
Lin Mengya looked at everyone, estimated the time, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's rest where we are first. From today on, we can go on our way normally."
In fact, she just wanted to make a time difference.
According to the rules, every aristocratic family will inform the temple about the day they will arrive before going.
But this time the Gong family went there, she didn't know that the situation would be like this, so she wanted to squeeze in at least two days, at least not so passively.
And such an intention cannot be too obvious, otherwise the unexpected effect will be lost, so she can only save time on the road.
The group of people sat on the roadside to rest. Lin Mengya, accompanied by Jun'er and Bai Su, got out of the car to relax her legs and feet.
Not long after, a marching team caught up.
At first, Lin Mengya and the others thought it was another aristocratic family, but the closer they got, the more surprised and suspicious Lin Mengya's eyes became.
In the end, she could hardly control the corners of her mouth, which turned up slightly.
It's them! They're coming!
"The ones in front are the Gong family members?"
Someone in the team asked loudly.
Li Xian immediately stood in front of her with a serious expression.
"That's right, may I ask who you are -" "it's me."
That extremely familiar low voice made Lin Mengya almost cry.
He finally caught up!
If she hadn't grabbed Bai Su and Jun'er's hands tightly, Lin Mengya would have almost rushed forward.
It's a pity that their current status does not allow her to be like this, so she must restrain herself.
"It turns out it's His Highness Xi, Mr. Li, a common man. I've met His Highness, Your Highness."
The carriage following Long Tianyu also came over, a pair of small hands lifted the curtain, and looked at his mother in front of him with watery eyes.
"Your Highness, Your Highness has just been clamoring for Miss Gong, look."
The one who looks after the young highness is naturally his teacher Xiao Yi?
Now he could only gently hug the chubby little body, unable to control the little guy from twisting and turning and struggling to free himself.
"If you have anything, just bring it over. My carriage is very spacious, and your Highness will not be crowded when you come in."
Everyone in the palace family knew that His Highness was close to her, so this was nothing.
On the other hand, the big one's face is not very good-looking.
After seeing the little thing happily getting into his mother's carriage, the father just stood there and sulked.
Why can only little things go? He wants to go too?
Suddenly, everyone outside felt the extremely low air pressure.
Weird, if His Highness Xi doesn't like His Highness being close to Miss Gong, he can just not let His Highness go down.
But he clearly allowed it just now, so why is his face darkened again now?
Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to ask.
Therefore, they will probably never know that His Highness Xi, who seems to be wise and powerful, is actually just jealous of his own son.
"Your Highness seems to have lost some weight. I have prepared some milk snacks here. Would you like to try one?"
The three people who were still tense just now immediately returned to their true nature after the little thing came up.
Lin Mengya held the baby in her arms, kissed it again and again, and rubbed it again and again.
Probably because she was thinking too much about her mother, the baby also hugged her neck tightly and refused to raise her head from her arms.
Even when eating the snacks given to him by Bai Su, he had to put them into his mother's mouth first, adhering to the principle that his mother would take one bite at a time before he ate it.
Seeing the baby being so considerate, Lin Mengya's heart melted.
This little thing is more important than her life.
"Master, please don't let His Highness go back in the future. Your Highness is a grown man and cannot take care of children well. Look, in just a few days, Your Highness has lost a lot of weight."
