Outside Xiannan Hall, it was still deserted and simple, with no one visiting.
Although Xin Luan is about to become a has-been high priest, his influence in the Xin family cannot be underestimated.
Ordinarily, it would be prudent not to have too many people coming to flatter you.
However, the high priest only told the outside world that he was frightened during that assassination attack, so he could not see guests.
By now, Lin Mengya was 100% sure that the high priest must be in cahoots with the king.
The so-called self-cultivation is just an excuse for not wanting to meet guests.
However, this high priest is not a softie. Who knows what evil he is harboring in the Xiannan Palace.
"who!"
As she walked with her head buried, Lin Mengya was blocked by someone.
He raised his head and looked at the guards dressed up.
It's strange, I haven't seen them here in the past few days, so why is it such a coincidence today.
"Isn't this the Helan girl next to Mrs. Jingrou? It's a coincidence that the girl is here. The king is also here. I wonder if the girl is here, what's the matter?"
A valet who was serving the king immediately ran over.
Everyone can be offended, but the girl in front of me should be held in the palm of my hand.
Lin Mengya looked at his smiling face and knew that she might be out of luck again today.
He curled his lips helplessly, unable to show any disappointment on his face.
"My wife ordered my servant to come over and deliver a cup of tea to the high priest. Please pass it on to me. This tea is my unique craft. My wife just wants the priest to taste something new. Since the tea has been delivered, please step aside."
Already."
Obviously Lin Mengya would not be willing to leave like this.
But if she doesn't leave, she will be so bold and compete with the king.
Lin Mengya handed the tea to the waiter with a smile on her face, without stopping for a moment.
In the past few days, the king's attitude toward her was a bit off. It would be better for her not to hang around in front of others all the time.
Fortunately, she had other plans today, otherwise, she would have been caught off guard.
I just don’t know what the king and the witch are discussing.
After coming out of Xiannan Hall, Lin Mengya walked all the way north.
As for the destination, it is the cell in the palace used to detain prisoners.
Although the area is small, it is very hidden.
It is almost difficult for ordinary people to find it without the guidance of others.
After all, this kind of place is a bit spooky, and it would be terrible if it scares the nobles in the palace.
But although Lin Mengya came here only once, she seemed to be familiar with the journey.
She had seen the map of the palace, It is naturally not difficult to come here.
As soon as I entered the Moon Gate, I saw several strong women, escorting some of the palace servants who had committed crimes to pound rice.
Generally, this kind of work is undertaken by people who are not guilty of serious crimes. Although it will be exhausted to death, there is a sentence, and it will never be exhausted to death.
Of course, this is only a superficial rule.
In fact, these people who are responsible for guarding will have ten thousand ways to make people survive but not die.
Some of the palace ladies who had committed crimes would rather die than come to a place like this and suffer the consequences.
Lin Mengya came in and was greeted by someone.
Although they always stay in the small courtyard, they can know immediately if there is any trouble in the palace.
"Isn't this Miss Helan? Say hello to the girl, why is she free today and come to a place like this?"
With smiles on their faces, they were naturally respectful and enthusiastic towards Lin Mengya.
After all, this girl's identity is extraordinary.
Even those royal concubines are not as noble as this Helan girl.
"I'm here to see who Madam sent here a few days ago. Where is she? Can you help me lead the way?"
Lin Mengya smiled modestly. Even if she didn't like it, there was still value in this place.
She is not so naive as to think that tolerance and kindness can empathize with everyone.
Human progress is inherently accompanied by danger and killing.
Otherwise, in the process of evolution, it is likely to be treated the same as saber-toothed tigers and mammoths.
Compared with the rice pounding outside, the cell inside seemed much darker.
The sour and damp smell hit her nostrils, making her just want to roll her eyes.
Only now do I realize how painful it is to have a good nose.
Lin Mengya was invited to the innermost room, which should be where the palace officials in charge lived.
Not only is it much cleaner and more spacious, but it also smells much better.
Sit on the chair and wait for the person to arrive.
"Go, hurry up!"
There was a scolding voice outside the door, and then, a ragged figure appeared in front of Lin Mengya.
The women in charge frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the man's slow movements.
A figure threw itself at Lin Mengya's feet.
She lowered her eyes and looked carefully, it was this person.
"Girl, someone has brought it to you.
You can question me slowly, and the young ones will go out to do their work first."
Facing their smiling faces, Lin Mengya took out a piece of silver from her sleeve without hesitation and gave it to them.
She walked out of the room with a lot of gratitude, and inside, only Lin Mengya and the woman who was lying on the ground in a miserable state were left.
Lin Mengya raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and looked at the woman in front of her.
"There is no one else here. You'd better stop pretending to be dead, Jinmei. You see what I said, right?"
The woman lying on the ground suddenly stiffened for a moment when she heard Lin Mengya say this.
With such little acting skills, he still dares to imitate other people's tricks of cheating and changing the sky. It's just a joke.
"My slave, I don't know what the girl means. I'm unjust. Please help me, please!"
Because her hands and feet were tied, she could only lie on the ground, trembling even when she screamed about injustice.
It seems that the 'reception' over the past two days has left a deep impression on her.
"Why are you doing this? In fact, your disguise skills are not very good. I think it is because the palace lady in charge is somewhat similar to you. Or maybe she is the cousin you brought in from outside the palace. It's just that
It's a pity that someone died for you, but you still have to accuse others of it. Doesn't your conscience feel uneasy?"
Lin Mengya sat there leisurely, revealing the true face of the woman in front of her little by little.
Although, her long hair was scattered, almost making her look more like a ghost.
But the traces between the eyebrows cannot deceive anyone.
Although there are many similarities between cousins, a person's appearance can change, but it is difficult for his inner temperament to change.
It's just that this beauty is only slightly more beautiful than her cousin.
Moreover, they can still be distinguished by their dress.
Therefore, this scene of subversion was extremely clever.
No one realizes that Jin Meiren, who was privately executed by the eldest prince, is still alive in this world.
No one even knew that she was the one responsible for arranging people to guard the empty Linqiu Pavilion.
Lin Mengya realized this problem as soon as she entered the yard that day.
Therefore, she asked Bai Su to detain this person immediately.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.
"What did your girl mean? I didn't understand. Yes, I am indeed the cousin of Jin Mei. But Jin Mei offended the lady and deserved it. I'm really innocent. Please make the decision for me."
."
After saying that, the woman began to sob.
r>
The acting is a bit stiff, but enough to confuse people.
It's a pity that she met Lin Mengya.
The former Princess Yu was a master at extracting confessions through torture.
"Oh? Really? My people made a mistake. I'm really sorry. But since you said you are not Jinmei, let me ask you, what do you want to say about those people who died?
Of?"
Lin Mengya's eyebrows were expressionless, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
The one lying on the ground was even more hesitant, but it was more of a fluke.
"I really didn't know that this kind of thing would happen! On that day, I arranged for them to go to Linqiu Pavilion as a normal job, but who knew that something like that happened later. I'm really unjust."
Lin Mengya has always been very good at dealing with people who don't tell the truth.
It's just that the many methods available now are difficult to use.
It's a pity that this beautiful lady has a prominent weakness.
Standing up, Lin Mengya pulled out a hairpin from her head.
Although this hairpin is made of soft silver, the handle is extremely hard and sharp.
Putting the hairpin in her hand, Lin Mengya smiled and looked at Jin Meiren who was still resisting. Well, since she wants to play, then she will play with her.
"I know you were wronged, but it's a pity that it's useless. I'm afraid you don't know yet, but one of the four dead girls was the daughter of the tribal leader. This young lady was very naughty and she just came to the palace to have some fun.
Damn it. Who knew that something like this would happen. Now, the leader of the tribe is clamoring every day, asking the king and his wife to give an explanation. It seems that I can only wrong you. Don’t worry.
Well, you were so loyal and you died unjustly. Your Majesty and Madam will definitely give you a generous burial. Now, if you have any last words to say, I will do it for you."
The hairpin flashed a silver light.
The sharp bottom can penetrate that person's delicate neck with just a little force.
Lin Mengya felt keenly that the man was nervous, even scared.
Are you scared? Now, it seems a little late.
"No! No! You must have made a mistake. These four people all came from poor families and came to the palace to work as maids. There is no way that there is any daughter of a tribal leader. You must have made a mistake. They must be
!”
He hurriedly denied it, but he didn't notice that there was a flash of light in Lin Mengya's eyes.
Lin Mengya's eyes became increasingly helpless, as if this matter was more difficult for her than others.
Her hairpin was placed between the woman's neck, and the sharp and cold touch caused waves of goosebumps to appear on the woman's body.
