"You stay here and don't let anyone in. If someone from the ritual supervisor comes, tell me first."
Turning her head, Lin Mengya glanced around.
The death of the great queen is no longer a secret, and naturally there are many people who want to investigate the situation.
He gently opened the door, and a little head immediately popped out.
He cautiously explored outside, until he saw that the woman in front of the door was Madam Jingrou's confidant, and then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Did the girl come here on Madam's order?"
Lin Mengya nodded, and then the latter opened the door and let Lin Mengya in.
However, his eyes were still alert.
The door was also closed immediately after Lin Mengya came in.
Linqiu Pavilion is still the same as before, but it looks a bit depressed and cold.
From now on, I'm afraid this place will be so empty for a long time.
However, in a few years or decades, I am afraid that the original prosperity will return again.
There are always many secrets buried within the deep palace compound.
But now, even in the history books of later generations, it is difficult to find any traces of what she has experienced.
It's just a memory that will eventually disappear under the wash of time.
"I didn't expect that it was you who came."
Just as Lin Mengya was sighing with emotion, a slightly tired voice suddenly came from behind her.
Lin Mengya turned around and saw that the once noble queen was only wearing a simple and elegant dress.
There is no hairpin on the head, and no powder is applied on the face.
Although his face still looked a bit haggard, it was much kinder than the ferocious and mean look before.
It seems that Yao Lu has really figured it out.
"This slave has met your empress."
Yao Lu waved her hand, and now the past is like a cloud of smoke.
She saw through many things, figured them out, and was able to let them go.
Giving up her obsession of more than 20 years was a relief for her.
"I have forgotten what happened before. Don't call me empress anymore. Since she sent you, she must be trustworthy. You need to worry more about these things."
Lin Mengya was a little surprised by Yao Lu's politeness.
But if you think about it carefully, Yao Lu actually came from a wealthy family, and the education she received must have been first-rate.
The upbringing of a well-known lady cannot be thrown away in a moment.
In fact, during these days in the palace, Lin Mengya also inquired clearly.
Although the Queen deliberately embarrasses Madam Jingrou, she rarely resorts to despicable and dirty methods. >
Now that I think about it, most of it must be Mrs. Hui's scheme.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. This is your duty as a slave. If your Majesty has anything else to tell me, I will definitely do it."
In fact, to die alone after leaving the palace may seem a bit desolate to most people.
But for Yao Lu, it may not be the best ending.
His peaceful eyes looked aimlessly at the blue sky.
After thinking for a moment, Yao Lu gently shook her head.
"I have nothing to tell you, it's just that I can't bear to leave my child. It was me, a mother, who harmed him. Helan, I know that your status is not ordinary. If you have a chance, please do it for me.
Poor child, please find some justice."
These words made Lin Mengya feel doubtful in her heart.
Isn't the eldest prince still doing well outside? Why would Yao Lu say such a thing?
Could it be that she was too sad and her memory was confused?
"Please don't be too sad, my queen. Even if she leaves the palace, she will grow old safely. As for the eldest prince, that is beyond the reach of this servant."
Lin Mengya tactfully comforted Yao Lu, but she saw the other party shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
"Even you think I'm crazy, don't you? Although Jing'er has not been raised by my side since he was a child, as a mother, how could it be possible that he could even mistake his own son? Jing'er has been kind and generous since he was a child.
As a mother, I often feel that this son is too weak. However, since his fifteenth birthday, his temperament has changed drastically, and he has become more and more indifferent. Even I, a mother, have become more and more indifferent.
I can’t see through him anymore.”
Yao Lu's words were a bit sad.
Lin Mengya's first reaction was, of course, that the eldest prince had also been impostered?
However, she felt it was impossible. In fact, she had already experienced many of the previous methods of the Candle Dragon Society.
But only in the royal family of Lieyun Kingdom, these methods cannot succeed.
She had heard from Xiaoyu before that before each member of the royal family was born, a kind of poisonous insect would be inoculated into the fetus in the mother's womb.
This kind of poisonous insect is harmless to the body and can even be beneficial to the health of children.
However, if there is no such bug, the child will have a special reaction immediately when he takes the first mouthful of breast milk.
Moreover, as the princes, queens and queens grow up, there will be many means to verify whether they are of royal blood.
certainly,
In the past, this was a way to protect the purity of the royal family's bloodline.
Now, it is more of a ceremony to declare the noble blood of the royal family.
Wan Yanjing was once the default heir to the throne, so these ceremonies would be more serious and complicated for him.
Therefore, what Yao Lu said is basically impossible.
"Yes, I will pay attention."
Lowering her eyes, Lin Mengya could no longer argue with a sad person.
Maybe in the queen's heart, the innocent and generous prince is her beloved son.
It's just that people will change eventually.
"Well, what are you talking about now? You can do whatever you want. The throne will not fall to him after all. But before I leave, I still want to see my family. Over the years, I have also
It really breaks their hearts."
Yao Lu looked sad, probably because she knew that after passing away, she would never be able to have a happy gathering with her family again.
Lin Mengya knew that if she refused, it would be a bit cruel to the queen.
But the matter of Yao Lu's fake death is best kept as a secret known to very few people.
"I will report it to the king and his wife, but I think it is better not to see the empress. After all, the empress wants to spend the rest of her life in peace, so the fewer people who know about it, the better."
Lin Mengya knew that the king and his wife would probably not agree to this matter.
After all, the matter is of great importance, and if one more person knows about it, there will be more chances of the secret being leaked.
However, after seeing Yao Lu's appearance, Lin Mengya couldn't bear to tell her directly.
Come to think of it, Yao Lu should actually be aware of it.
"Thank you, I'm tired, Yun Mo, help me go and have a rest. The king told me to let me live here and no one will find me. You can tell Yun Mo in advance when you want to leave."
Yao Lu rubbed her eyebrows, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
The alert palace lady who had just opened the door for Lin Mengya immediately went to help her. Presumably, this person was carefully selected by the king and his wife to take care of and monitor Yao Lu.
Without staying too long in Linqiu Pavilion, Lin Mengya still had many things to do.
"How's it going? Did anyone suspicious pass by?"
Outside the door, Bai Suzheng stood there with an indifferent expression, like a stone statue, intimidating the people around him who wanted to come and inquire about the situation.
"Don't worry, miss, no one dares to come here. The king has arranged a lot of guards. No one will know anything that happens here. But miss, is there anything wrong with you staying in there for so long?
"
< br> Naturally, she would not hide the fact that Yao Lu was alive from Bai Su.
After a few brief words, Bai Su also understood the importance of the matter.
"Send someone to the ceremonial supervisor immediately and find someone to calm down your appearance. Remember, you must find someone who is careful and reliable. I will be of great use."
"yes."
Although Yao Lu has the reputation of being a sinner, her rank is only the lowest rank as a minor envoy.
However, due etiquette cannot be omitted to avoid long nights and excessive dreams, so it is still necessary to shorten the time spent on the funeral as much as possible.
The supervisor quickly found Lin Mengya and invited her to discuss the details of the funeral together.
After taking into account the unique customs and habits of Lieyun Kingdom, all the details have been finalized.
The funeral is scheduled for two days later. Before then, the coffin of Major Ambassador Yao will be parked in Linqiu Pavilion for the concubines to pay their respects.
As for the funeral, the king and his wife wanted to keep everything simple and low-key.
So I won't worry about any big scene. Even the Yao family probably won't know about it.
This is best and avoids any trouble.
Everything went according to plan. Although the mourning hall was located in Linqiu Pavilion, there were not many people except Lin Mengya, Ning Qiu, and a few trustworthy people who could enter and exit.
Even if concubines and palace officials come to pay homage, there will always be people accompanying them.
Yao Lu lives in the palace, but no one can find her.
Moreover, the door is sealed and guarded 24 hours a day, so no one will discover Yao Lu's secret.
Speaking of which, the world is really in a turbulent state.
During the two days of the funeral, except for a few inconspicuous concubines who came to pay their respects, none of the people who used to follow Yao Lu to show off their power came.
Now, the outcome has been decided.
Madam Jingrou has become a veritable master of the harem, while Yao Lu, now the Young Master Yao, has long become a thing of the past. No one would choose to openly oppose Madam Jingrou at this time.
Although it sounds a bit disgusting to say, in the end, it saved Lin Mengya a lot of effort.
"Miss, this is the news that the young master sent to you."
In Fengyu Garden, Lin Mengya was sitting in her room, checking the process from tomorrow's funeral to burial in the cemetery.
When he raised his head, he saw that Bai Su's face looked a little not good.
"What's wrong?"
He took the letter from Bai Su's hand and opened it skillfully.
After seeing the contents of the letter, Lin Mengya's brows also frowned slightly.
