Lin Mengya has always been a measured person. She offended Wanyan Lie again and again just to remind him that Xiaoyu is not their flag and he can do whatever he wants.
But she also knows it.
In order to assist Xiaoyu, Wanyan Lie put life and death aside. She was just a helper, taking over the host, which was a bit too much.
Perhaps because Lin Mengya was not easy to mess with, Wanyan Lie put aside his slight dissatisfaction.
After this battle, the atmosphere relaxed a lot, but it was just a little bit awkward.
"Uncle Lie, I don't know what I mentioned to you last time. Is it convenient for you now?"
Xiaoyu was very polite to Wanyan Lie, but after hearing these words, the latter's face became a little solemn.
After a while, he let out a deep sigh, seemingly unwilling to think about the love between his children back then.
"This matter was originally a past event between the king and his wife. As a minister, you should not mention it. But - since Miss Lin said that this matter is related to the great cause, I can only feel sorry for the king and the others once."
Wanyanlie's eyes fell on Lin Mengya.
Obviously, he felt that how could these old things solve the current dilemma.
Lin Mengya had already expected that, after all, Wanyan Lie was away from home all year round, and he might not understand many of the subtle situations in the palace.
What's more, how can a grown man understand the twists and turns of a woman's family?
Wanyanlie opened his mouth immediately and explained it to him, and then Wanyan Lie suddenly understood.
"I see. No wonder Madam is always criticized in the palace. I didn't expect that this matter would still be mentioned after almost twenty years."
Wanyan Lie was filled with emotion. He probably didn't expect that the past events would slowly develop into what they are now.
Lin Mengya and Wanyanyu both waited quietly for his words. After all, apart from the two parties involved in the palace, only Wanyanlie in front of them knew the cause and effect best.
With Wanyan Lie's slightly nostalgic tone, Lin Mengya and Wanyanyu finally understood part of the truth about twenty years ago.
Back then, when the king ascended the throne relying on the power of those aristocratic families, he was still a young man as old as Xiaoyu.
It is said that young couples have the deepest love, but because the queen was forced on him by others, and her temper is very domineering, let alone being in love with the king, if the king neglects her even slightly, she will
It's going to cause an uproar inside the palace.
At this time, by coincidence, the king fell in love with Madam Jingrou, who was still the Gu girl of the Xin family at that time.
In Wanyan Lie's memories, although Although there are no charming words, at the beginning, the lonely, cold and arrogant young emperor and the gentle and affectionate beautiful girl must have experienced an intoxicating romance before settling on a lifelong relationship.
Regarding this point, judging from the king's current love for his wife, Lin Mengya has no doubts.
However, at that time, the love between the king and Madam Jingrou could only be in the stage of underground love. Therefore, Madam Hui, who was Madam Jingrou's personal maid at that time, became the swan goose delivering letters.
Perhaps because she is the only link between him and his lover, the king's attitude towards Mrs. Hui is a little more patient than others.
But they look like they just love the house and the bird.
Gradually, Mrs. Hui fell in love with this melancholy and noble man.
Then they were given the opportunity to pass on the news, and Mrs. Hui kept giving hints to the king. Later, she even took the initiative to sacrifice herself.
However, all of them were rejected by the king.
However, Mrs. Jingrou didn't know about it, and the king didn't like to dwell on women's issues, so only the few servants knew about this matter.
After the two finally got married after going through many difficulties and dangers, Mrs. Jingrou took her personal maid into the palace.
It was okay in the first few years. Although Mrs. Hui was interested in falling in love, the king never liked her, so he could only keep to himself.
But in the fourth year, the king suddenly favored Mrs. Hui and promoted her from a maid to Mrs. Hui, who was only second to Mrs. Jingrou.
Everyone said that it was because the king originally fell in love with Mrs. Hui, who was a maid, but Mrs. Jingrou, as the master, used her status and power to steal the king's favor.
The king finally learned the truth, so he was furious and gave Mrs. Hui the title.
Of course, all kinds of rumors were finally suppressed by the king.
But Mrs. Hui's status was stable. Later, the king's treatment of Mrs. Jingrou was very different from before.
These things remained as secret rumors and almost became the truth.
However, according to what Wanyan Lie said, the king originally fell in love with the young lady, Mrs. Jingrou, but it was Mrs. Hui who wanted to steal love with a knife, and was delusional.
But why does even Mrs. Jingrou think that she has robbed Mrs. Hui of her favor?
I thought I would get the answer, but now it seems to be even more confusing.
Already.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly and looked at Wanyan Lie who was helpless. After all, he was a grown man and could only see things on the surface.
As for the real emotional entanglement between the three people, it was not something he could know.
"Impossible. That Madam Hui is very good at putting on a show. She must be creating such rumors just to win favor!"
Xiaoyu couldn't help but said coldly.
Lin Mengya looked at the child and shook her head.
"If things are really as you said, then Mrs. Hui's favor and my wife's guilt are completely unreasonable. Besides, although I don't know the king's personality as well as you do, I also feel that he
He is not a person who can be deceived easily. By the way, in those years when the king neglected my wife, did any major events happen in the palace? For example, the fight for favor among the concubines, the internal fighting, and the more excessive ones
kind?"
She and Xiaoyu looked at Wanyan Lie at the same time.
The latter was a little embarrassed, but those two pairs of eager and expectant eyes made him unable to resist.
I frowned and thought for a long time, then slowly said a few things.
"It seems that there are a few big things. It seems that several beauties who recently entered the palace were kicked out of the palace by the king for murdering a certain lady in the palace. There was also news that Mrs. Hui was pregnant, but later she was
Let’s leave it at that. There’s nothing else.”
With Wanyan Lie's character, it is not easy to remember these things.
Lin Mengya connected several things together and got some useful information.
After Mrs. Hui gained favor, the king deliberately ignored Mrs. Jingrou for a long time.
At this time, there were several new people entering the palace who were trying to kill a certain lady in the palace. So did she guess that the king's original intention of appointing Mrs. Hui was actually to ward off hidden arrows for Mrs. Jingrou?
Xiaoyu is only fifteen years old this year, and Mrs. Jingrou came to the palace twenty years ago.
Since she could send the child away immediately after giving birth, it meant that at least at that time, her status in the palace was still not stable.
But it seems a bit unjustifiable to register Mrs. Hui just for the sake of multiple shields.
But Mrs. Hui kept saying that day that it was Mrs. Jingrou who killed her child.
Then, something very complicated must have happened in the palace back then.
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya realized that she seemed to have fallen into a big pit.
And if you want to resolve all the misunderstandings from that year, then You must know the cause and effect.
Although the families of princes, generals and prime ministers have great wealth, they still have too many alternatives.
She was not sure how many people would be involved. After a long time of trouble, she realized that this road was blocked.
It seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
"That's all, let's talk about this later. In fact, I'm here today because I have something else I want to trouble you with."
Wanyanlie looked at Lin Mengya, but did not refuse.
After all, Lin Mengya came here to help them. Besides, Wanyan Lie and Xiaoyu had already reached a consensus on one thing.
Lin Mengya would never do anything that could harm Xiaoyu. He was very accurate in judging people, especially when it came to Lin Mengya, and would never make a mistake.
"Please say."
"I hope you can help me intercept and kill those tribal priests. You don't have to kill them, just seriously injure them. Don't reveal any clues, don't deliberately guide the news. It's best if one or two die.
Can."
Lin Mengya's eyes were soft, but the words she spoke made Wanyanlie tremble slightly.
Did he hear it correctly? Pursuing the priest would be outrageous!
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at Wanyan Lie with a half-smile, as if she thought his hesitation was a bit ridiculous.
"Miss Lin, you have to know that these priests are extremely respected even in their respective tribes. Now, the young master and I are trying our best to win their support in secret. If we pursue them at this time, is it too much?
Too risky? Moreover, even if they die, their successors may not be able to support the young master. On the contrary, it will be self-defeating. They don’t like being manipulated the most. I am afraid that I will not be able to obey my orders in this matter."
Wanyan Lie thought that Lin Mengya wanted to get rid of those who did not support Xiaoyu, and then support a group of people who supported Xiaoyu to become priests, so that they could win the support of the tribe.
However, although there are occasional disputes among various tribes, the unity within the tribe is not comparable to that of royal clans like them who fight among themselves.
Maybe this method can be used elsewhere, but in the tribe, it is too risky and easy to be discovered.
Once exposed, Xiaoyu will immediately be at a disadvantage, and there will even be no possibility of succession.
So, no matter what, he can't take this risk.
Lin Mengya smiled helplessly. Did she look like the kind of simple-minded person?
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. If I really want this, wouldn't it be easier to just let your people put the blame on them? The reason why I let your people go after those priests is because I want their lives to break the
