A warm arm hugged Lin Mengya at this moment. Looking back, what he saw was Long Tianyu's worried look.
"Are you okay? Is the queen giving you a hard time?" The mellow voice exuded a deep sense of concern. Lin Mengya's heart, which had just become cold, was dispelled by this greeting.
Yes, this man will stand by her side no matter what. What is there to fear about her? If the sky falls, won't he still be there to hold it up?
He shook his head, gave Long Tianyu a comforting smile, and said
"Queen, you just gave me a pair of bracelets. You didn't do anything to me. There are so many clan members, and so many things happened today. Queen, you can't do anything to me."
Long Tianyu took a deep look at Lin Mengya. No matter how strong this little woman was, he was still afraid that she would suffer if he faced a cunning woman like the Queen.
Suddenly I remembered that if Lin Mengya really entered the palace, wouldn't the queen intensify her efforts to deal with Lin Mengya?
But his father's illness really couldn't be delayed. His brows furrowed slightly, he was really in a dilemma.
After experiencing so many things, the originally wonderful prayer banquet had to end hastily.
The affairs of the fifth prince will naturally be handled by the clan. However, the emperor is still ill, so the final decision must be made by the emperor himself. However, Lin Mengya estimates that the queen will not let the fifth prince go.
The prince has already been involved in this matter, and now the queen must be anxious to keep the prince out of the matter.
The only way is to make everything the fifth prince said become a lie. There are countless ways to do this. Lin Mengya just feels that the fifth prince is really doomed this time.
However, this is all his retribution and he cannot blame anyone.
If you seek the skin of a tiger, you have to risk being eaten by the tiger. What's more, a person like the Fifth Prince, who has no clever mind at all?
On the street outside the palace, Prince Yu's carriage was walking slowly. But it stopped at the entrance of a dark alley.
A charming figure suddenly jumped out of the alley. After looking around for no one, he lowered his head and got into Lin Mengya's carriage.
"Master, I have informed the eldest young master. He is waiting for you not far ahead. According to your instructions, he did not attract anyone's attention."
Lin Mengya nodded, she could never be more at ease with Bai Su's work.
She invited her brother over because she wanted to know if he was responsible for the scandal at Showa Palace.
If it was really my brother who did it, then his courage would be too great.< br>
Clan members and ministers who came out of the palace, and those who had ancestral residences, naturally had to return to their own homes. Those from other places either lived in the palace or in the palaces in the capital.
Therefore, Lin Mengya deliberately chose an inconspicuous path. Apart from being a little darker and a little narrower, it would not waste time.
The car was driving on the dark road. After a while, a handsome young man stopped Lin Mengya's carriage with a horse.
"The eldest young master has arrived. Master, the eldest young master is outside."
Bai Zhi saw Lin Nansheng's outline at a glance and whispered back.
"Please come in."
There were all her confidants in the carriage, so the news would not be easily leaked.
And there was no one around. Bai Su and his brother were both martial arts masters. If someone eavesdropped, they would be able to find traces.
Lin Nansheng, who was wearing a strong voice, had a somewhat flattering smile on his face as soon as he got on the carriage. He knew that everything he did could be hidden from everyone, but he could not hide it from anyone except his sister.
Therefore, in line with a frank and lenient attitude, he was not prepared to hide anything about his sister.
"Does dad know?"
After glancing at her brother, Lin Mengya asked softly. Lin Nansheng immediately shook his head and said
"I don't dare to let dad know. If dad knew that I dared to fight against the fire at Showa Palace, he would definitely crush me to pieces."
But Lin Mengya smiled lightly and looked at her brother in front of her with interest.
"Dad has known for a long time. When you went out, it was dad who provided cover. Although dad is a loyal minister and good general, he is not a foolish and loyal person. Do you think that dad really knows nothing about the fifth prince shooting me today?
Is it done?”
It was only now that Lin Mengya figured out how it was such a coincidence that the queen chose two princes, one was King Chongshan and the other was King Lishan.
Even though they were all very fair clan members, they all spoke to her overtly or covertly.
Although at the wedding banquet, the two princes seemed to have nothing in common with their father. But an inadvertent move cleared up all Lin Mengya's doubts.
She saw with her own eyes that while those people were mesmerized in watching the Feitian Dance, only these three people pretended to be immersed in the song and dance.
Maybe I think no one noticed them anymore
, these three quasi-old men, who were all over a hundred years old in total, smiled in perfect agreement.
It was a smile that was neither a compliment nor just a polite smile.
From that moment, Lin Mengya realized that everything was actually under her father's control.
She and her brother were just pawns in this contest, but her father was just hiding behind it and adding fuel to the flames. She didn't reveal even the slightest bit of information, so even the queen wouldn't be able to guess that the person who was actually playing against her was not Lin Mengya, but
Lin Muzhi.
"You mean, dad knows everything we do, and also helps us?"
Lin Nansheng still couldn't believe it. After all, he and his father had been fighting on the battlefield for many years. As his father's lieutenant general, how could he not understand his commander?
Burning the Showa Palace on fire is a trick that young people find thrilling. Could it be that the stubborn old man in the family has really figured it out?
Suddenly, he was still a little unbelievable.
"Of course, if this were not the case, how could the fifth prince's quiver be lost? I guess you must have collaborated with Qin Mo and asked the imperial army in the Ancestral Temple to steal it for you, right? Don't forget these things.
, but there are dedicated people sorting it out. But why did the fifth prince simply forget about it when he was in the main hall just now, let alone bringing it with him? Of course, with the fifth prince's personality, he would not remember it at all.
Live. But why did everyone forget to remind him?"
Lin Mengya's words suddenly enlightened Lin Nansheng.
Yes, he also felt that things were a little too smooth. If his father hadn't been secretly helping him, then there must have been some flaws in these things.
But he was suddenly shocked. It turned out that after so many years, he still didn't fully understand his father.
"Brother, in fact, your scheming and methods are exactly the same as your father's. It's just that you still have the arrogance and aggressiveness of a young man. My father may not be as strong as you back then. It's just that he has been quiet for many years, so he has more
You have gained a lot of composure. I believe that, given time, you will become an old fox like dad, so go for it."
Lin Mengya could understand her brother's shock at this moment.
In fact, she was able to figure out these things only after the fact.
Some wisdom is far beyond what she, who is protected like a flower in a greenhouse, can possess. She still has to learn from her father about the great wisdom that dares to communicate with the world.
"Sister, you are really smart in your decision. As an elder brother, I must also learn from our father. Be an old fox."
The intelligence of the Lin family is definitely the same. Lin Mengya smiled, as long as her brother understood. If what happened this time did not go as she expected, the queen would definitely blame it all on Long Yingchu. Moreover, Chen
This time, I'm afraid my family will be in ruins.
But the Chen family has always been on good terms with the official family, and only his family follows their lead? Why does the queen not care about the Chen family at all?
Indeed, it is puzzling.
"By the way, sister, why didn't I see the Yue family at tonight's family dinner? I went to the Yue Mansion yesterday, but the disciples said that Master Yue was visiting relatives, and everyone followed him back to his hometown. And, I asked
After hearing about Yue Ting's situation, why did the family start driving people away?"
Mentioning Yue Ting, Lin Mengya's heart suddenly sank.
She lowered her head and looked at her toes, seeing that she could no longer hide it. How could she speak to keep her brother calm?
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
Lin Mengya thought about it and rolled into her brother's arms just like she did when she was a child. But this time, she hugged her brother and lay on his shoulder. Before she could speak, she shed tears.
It rolled down like a thread and landed in my brother's clothes.
"A few months ago, King Ming of Xifan came to visit. The royal family and ministers all followed the prince and King Ming to go hunting in Lingju Mountain. Sister Yue Ting and I were also among them."
Even though several months have passed, Lin Mengya still feels unbearably distressed every time she mentions this incident.
She is so strong, but she also cries like a tearful person.
The four girls in the carriage seemed to be infected at the same time. After all, Miss Yue Ting was the first person to treat Lin Mengya sincerely.
If it weren't for her constant protection, I'm afraid the master would have long since passed away in this world.
"I know, something happened to Yue Ting, right? Did she fall off the horse? Or was she still injured in some way?"
No matter how dull Lin Nansheng was, he still sensed something unusual. He immediately asked hurriedly, but Lin Mengya hugged her brother tightly and said word by word
"The second son of King Ming was instigated by others and wanted to kidnap me. Unexpectedly, I saved the day several times and actually angered this beast. He actually ruined Sister Yue Ting. Finally, someone maliciously slandered Sister Yue Ting.
In order not to tarnish your reputation, she jumped off a cliff and committed suicide."
Lin Mengya's hidden tears could no longer be held back and fell from her eyes.
