Lin Mengya just asked casually, but Long Tianyu's brows suddenly frowned, looking a little embarrassed.
"It is the spring plowing season now, but there are many places affected by the disaster. Therefore, the prince ordered me to inspect various places to prevent the spring plowing from being delayed."
Lin Mengya nodded with understanding. Indeed, in ancient times when productivity was low, spring plowing was an important condition for the survival of the entire country.
If it is really delayed, it will be a major issue for the national economy and people's livelihood. But it cannot be taken lightly.
"The prince is right, this matter is indeed a big deal. You should be more careful on the road. If the prince and the queen are interested in dealing with you on the road, it will be troublesome."
Long Tianyu is in the capital, and I believe that no one dares to deal with him.
However, if you are away from home, it is difficult to say. Moreover, I heard that there were many places that were hit by disasters last year. If one of them is not handled well, it may have a negative impact on Long Tianyu.
This is not an easy task. Even she feels that this matter is indeed difficult to handle.
"I know, but I'm not in the house. You have to be careful about everything and wait until I come back."
This time, Long Tianyu also felt that the prince transferred him out of the capital at this time. Perhaps it was a conspiracy against Lin Mengya.
However, what the prince said does make sense.
Last year, natural disasters raged. There were countless victims, but it was difficult to prevent any riots.
If it were at this time, because of the spring plowing, the peaceful situation that was barely maintained would be in vain.
When the time comes, the victims of the disaster will riot, which will shake the foundation of the entire country.
"I know, when are you leaving? I'll tell Butler Deng to make some preparations for you."
Putting away all her worries, Lin Mengya showed a relaxed smile.
How could she not know how her life would be threatened if Long Tianyu was not here? Her father and brother had already led their men back to the border.
Now, if even Long Tianyu is gone, she will seem to be helpless.
It's not just the two people in the palace who want her life?
However, now she has at least attracted the attention of the neutral ministers in the court. If she can successfully develop an antidote that can cure the emperor, I believe those people will never look at her easily.
, became the souls of innocent souls.
"Don't worry, I won't leave for a few days. Since I am trying to appease the victims, I have to make some preparations."
Suddenly, Long Tianyu looked at Lin Mengya in front of him tenderly.
If possible, he really wanted her, no No need to worry about anything anymore.
"Ok, I know."
Lin Mengya also looked at him softly. In fact, since Long Tianyu was not in Kyoto, she could also let her develop her own Sanjuetang.
I heard that due to its rapid development recently, it has become a somewhat famous organization around Kyoto.
If you want to grow bigger, you should put a lot of thought into it.
In the evening, Lin Mengya was reading in Liuxinyuan, while listening to several girls exchanging the information they had collected.
In fact, it is just some gossip about the mansion and Concubine De.
Although since she came back, Lin Mengya also felt that Concubine De seemed to be a lot more honest. She neither caused trouble for her nor sent anyone to embarrass her.
Now, she is 100% sure. The woman living in Yaxuan is definitely not the original Concubine De.
Long Tianyu should have noticed it too. How could someone as smart as him fail to recognize his mother-in-law?
If he hadn't kept her, firstly, it was to paralyze the queen. Secondly, he also wanted to find out the whereabouts of the real concubine De. Long Tianyu's temperament must have led to her being simply and roughly arrested for interrogation.
"I heard that the Yaxuan has been deserted recently. Even Yun Ruo has not been seen for a long time. Before, she was the most favored maid beside Concubine De. Now Concubine De is always feeling a little unwell.
, but she disappeared."
With Bai Zhi here, there will definitely be no omissions of all kinds of gossip in the palace.
On the table, there are dried fruits, roasted seeds and nuts and fashionable pastries that she brought back from outside the house. Her cute little face eats them like a hamster.
However, the other two people have long been accustomed to what she does.
"But speaking of it, I don't think that Yunruo is a law-abiding person. Years ago, I was chatting with the ladies in the kitchen. I heard that this Yunruo, relying on herself to be the popular person around Empress De Fei, has to do it every day.
I want to eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge to nourish my skin. It has to be blood swallow. I also heard that only our master and the empress De Fei can eat the blood swallow in our house. I was so excited that I had someone send it to me.
Look, Concubine De is treating her even better than the prince!"
Bai Shao said disdainfully, but she only thought it was gossip. But hearing Lin Mengya's ears, it seemed to bring back some memories.
If Bai Shao hadn't said it, she would have almost forgotten it.
Before, Yunruo could be regarded as the number one person in the palace by Empress De's side.
She originally thought that this girl Yun Ruo was an old acquaintance of Concubine De in the palace. But from Long Tianyu's reaction, it was not difficult to infer that Yun Ruo was actually a stranger.
How could a girl who had just arrived at Concubine De's side be pampered by something as precious as a blood swallow?
"Blood swallow is nothing. I heard from the laundry man that the clothes this Yunruo wears are all made of fine brocade. Even our master only has a few pieces of this kind of fabric."
Bai Zhi twisted her nose and said, obviously she didn't have a good impression of this Yun Ruo.
Anyway, they are all devoted to Liuxinyuan. Naturally, they hate the people in Yaxuan to the extreme.
"Fine brocade material? That's a good thing to use as tribute. Previously, when the palace gave out New Year's rewards, our master only got three pieces. Empress Dowager De Fei also got five pieces to reward people.
It’s not even enough. I actually gave it to her to wear. It’s really nice to her.” .??.??
The three of them laughed together, but there was nothing to envy in their hearts.
Yun Ruo only ate better and wore better clothes. But they held an extremely important position in the master's heart.
Not to mention anything else, even the monthly dividends from the drug store are enough to make them rich little women.
It was just a few pieces of cloth, how could it compare to Lin Mengya's sincere devotion to them?
"Baiji, go and get some of my fine brocade clothes. I want to take a look."
Lin Mengya said calmly on the side, the book was already placed on the table by her.
Lin Mengya actually had a doubt all along.
If the queen holds Concubine De hostage, how can she guarantee that this fake Concubine De will not expose her secrets?
After all, the Queen and Concubine De have been enemies for many years.
The degree of understanding of De Fei may be even more thorough than that of Long Tianyu, his son.
If, by accident, Long Tianyu sees through it, perhaps all her efforts will be in vain.
To put it another way, if Lin Mengya herself were to stand in the position of the queen, then in order to prevent others from seeing through this fake concubine so early, she must find someone who is very familiar with every move of the concubine, and she must be
The queen's closest confidants were often around the fake concubine, spying and monitoring her.
Presumably, Yunruo is this person.
But Yunruo's every move is not like that of an ordinary maid. Either she is humble to the core, or she is arrogant to the sky.
She gave people the impression of respect, but also a hint of disdain.
The smile is fake, but it can make people feel chilly.< br>
What kind of role would such a person play in front of the queen?
"Master, there are three pieces in total. I have brought them all for you."
While thinking about it, Bai Ji quickly picked up the pieces of clothes.
The three pieces are all for spring, a rose purple robe with a collar and precious flowers, and two pomegranate red dresses embroidered with peach blossoms.
The material, even in dim light, is still dazzling.
Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and touched the fabric.
It is said that the raw materials of this fine brocade yarn have been carefully selected. The touch is not rough at all, and the water-slippery feeling is actually a bit softer than human skin.
With such good ingredients, no wonder the royal family members like it.
However, if what Yun Ruo is wearing was really given to her by Concubine De, then the tailor in the mansion must have remembered it.
"Bai Shao, ask the tailor in the mansion. Is what Yun Ruo is wearing really given to her by Empress De Fei? Bai Ji, ask the servants in Yaxuan if they have ever seen De Concubine.
Madam, where did you put those five pieces of fine brocade? Have you taken them out?"
Lin Mengya had a hunch that this Yunruo was definitely not simple.
Even if she is really someone close to the Queen, she is sure that she is not an ordinary character.
Let me ask, what if the queen revealed to herself the true and false concubines that night, in fact, it was not a helpless move to calm down the war.
Na Yunruo's disappearance can only mean two things.
The first thing is that Yun Ruo is someone close to the Queen. The Queen now feels that since Lin Mengya already knows the truth, Long Tianyu will also know the truth sooner or later.
Therefore, as a member of the Queen's side, Yunruo will of course go home or be wiped out from this world.
Of course, this is the best result.
But the second incident made Lin Mengya a little uneasy.
That is, in fact, the queen did not create these real and fake concubines just to contain Long Tianyu, but had another purpose.
For example, what do you want to get——
Does Yunruo's disappearance at this moment mean that the Queen has succeeded?
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya felt a little restless.
However, she soon calmed down.
Long Tianyu is not a fool. If Yunruo is really coming for him, he will definitely notice it.
Concubine De has been in the palace for so long, and she has nothing to hide.
