The aroma of tea is refreshing, and the tea water is slightly bitter but has a sweet aftertaste.
When Lin Mengya personally delivered it to Xin Luan's desk, it was already the most exciting moment of this cup of tea.
Big hands opened the lid, and a unique fragrance slowly spread from the desk to the entire Xiannan Hall.
As the tea rolls into the throat, the ultimate taste spreads. Anyone who is good at this will be immediately surprised by how perfect this tea is.
Lin Mengya lowered her head, looking respectful and submissive.
Xin Luan drank the tea she cooked by herself, and the expression on her face seemed to relax a lot.
"Girl, you are really good at your craft. No wonder I trust you in every possible way."
When he spoke, it was as if he was gossiping.
Lin Mengya thought for a while before answering softly
"It's just that the lady doesn't dislike the slave. The high priest has given you too much praise."
Lin Mengya had to be very careful when talking to such a person.
Big men like them would never say anything directly if something happened.
Temptations come and go, and the meaning is based on understanding rather than speaking.
Although Lin Mengya was not used to this way of speaking, it was obvious that the initiative was not with her now.
His eyes only stayed on her for a short time, and then moved away again after a moment.
Lin Mengya didn't dare to look at him. If it were in the past, she would definitely not be afraid.
It was only today that she met her uncle, so her mind was inevitably unstable.
"Well, my sister has been in the palace for many years and has been working hard in the harem. If you can help her well, it will be considered a credit."
These words are reminding her to do more things for Madam.
Lin Mengya naturally didn't care. These things were probably not ordinary.
He lowered his head and still answered respectfully.
"Yes, this slave knows."
One is just obsessed with the book in front of him and the tea on the table.
A gentle and gentle lady, she really looks like a diligent palace maid.
Xin Luan seemed to be testing Lin Mengya's patience, his eyes only vaguely falling on her from time to time.
Then he bounced away vaguely, as if there was no such person as her in front of him.
Lin Mengya looked at her nose and heart, standing there dignifiedly, like a green pine.
I heard the sound of the man turning the pages of the book. After turning over more than twenty pages, the high priest heard the sound again.
"You sent me a chess board before. Although I like it, no one can play with me. Can you play chess?"
Her eyelids twitched slightly. Playing chess was not difficult for her.
Over the past few days, her chess skills have improved somewhat.
"This servant only knows a little bit, but I'm afraid I'll neglect the high priest." people."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a pastime anyway."
The boy had already arranged the chessboard with quick hands and feet.
Lin Mengya knelt aside, looking only at the chessboard and not looking at Xin Luan.
Holding a white stone in her right hand, she naturally knew that it was the high priest asking her, but she knew even better that it was also a test.
One black and one white, fighting in a small space.
Although Lin Mengya's breath was unstable at first, she lost an extremely important opportunity.
But once she immersed herself in it, she slowly reversed her decline.
On the chessboard in front of the two people, the forces of both sides were in a stalemate.
Xin Luan felt more and more that the little girl in front of him was a little unusual.
The fight seemed to have come to an end.
But there was a look of solemnity between Xin Luan's eyebrows.
Who is this woman?
Her chess moves are very strange, sometimes majestic and sometimes delicate.
Never stick to one style and not subject to any restrictions.
It was as if this game, to her, was just a one-sided game.
That's an unsettling feeling.
Apart from anything else, although he was also in the chess game, he was implicitly playing according to that person's will.
What a terrifying restraint, it was a kind of fear that he seemed to be unable to escape.
Everything was actually under the control of that girl. Whether it was his thoughts or moves, she could see through them in the shortest possible time.
I have never had this feeling before, even in front of the king.
Although it was not strong, he still felt the fear coming from the future.
If this woman was not his helper, she would definitely be destroyed!
A pair of eyes, for the first time, flashed a hint of sinisterness.
But after remembering Sister A's words, he had to slow down and finally disappeared.
Yes, how could he forget that this woman is more important than life to his nephew?
If you can get her in your pocket, you can get her in this world!
"The master is wise, but the skills of the servant are not as good as others."
In the end, Xin Luan won the chess game.
Lin Mengya put down the chess piece in her hand, and the fighting spirit rushing in her heart gradually shrank.
In fact, she likes playing chess very much. Every time she plays chess, she can try some new methods.
But at the same time she
I also understand that a chess game is like a battlefield, and a seemingly simple game can reveal a person's true heart.
Therefore, unless necessary, even if she plays chess with others, it is just perfunctory.
But when she saw Xin Luan today, she knew she had to be serious.
That person was testing herself step by step, not only to test her abilities, but also to observe whether she was qualified to become someone he could trust.
Now, I'm afraid it's half done.
"It doesn't matter, you can go back today. In a few days, the eldest prince and the ninth prince will return to the palace. You will be very busy by then, so please be careful."
Lin Mengya stood up, bowed respectfully, and exited the Xiannan Hall.
Standing at the door, the boy who escorted her out also turned around and walked back with an apology.
Lin Mengya just glanced at the door of Xiannan Hall. The high priest actually took the initiative to mention this matter. I am afraid he would take some action.
Long Tianyu will return to Dajin in the next few days, which means that the Gu Luo Society will also come to an end soon.
Now, it's time to move forward with some things.
Three years can't afford to be wasted at all.
When I returned to Fengyu Garden, I saw Bai Su who had been lurking outside to investigate in the past few days.
Different from the despair when he went out, Bai Su's eyes lit up after seeing Lin Mengya. It seemed that something good had happened to him.
"Looking at your happy face, let me guess, what did you find? Did you find any clues about your identity?"
Bai Su is a person who doesn't easily reveal his emotions or anger, but in front of Lin Mengya, he can't hide it at all.
After nodding heavily, he pulled Lin Mengya to sit down, and then whispered to her
"Thanks to Miss's idea, I have collected previous information in the past few days and got a few useful ones. Although my identity has not yet been determined, there are some things about the witch that I think you need to know, Miss."
She raised her eyebrows. If Bai Su hadn't said anything, she would have almost forgotten about the witch.
"I heard that more than ten years ago, the magic witch said that she could not afford to be ill. After being ill for almost a year, she gradually improved. But the doctor who treated her at the beginning was...
After it healed, it disappeared without a trace. The last time I heard you mention it, you said that the appearance of Master Shenwu is the same as that of our girl Bai Zhi. I calculated the days and found that it matches the age of Bai Zhi. You said
, could Bai Zhi be——"
Lin Mengya just thought about it for a moment and felt that Bai Su's words were very reasonable.
Bai Zhi girl was indeed brought into the mansion by her father. His father only said that her parents died early, so he came into the mansion to be her companion.
r>
If Bai Zhi is really the daughter of the witch, then everything will be correct.
"You go and continue to investigate the doctor who suddenly disappeared. I want to test Master Shenwu personally. If she is really Bai Zhi's mother, then Xiaoyu's matter will be settled. Your life experience may also be
What can I ask?"
Bai Su nodded heavily. The witch had a noble status and she was not allowed to get close to him. It would inevitably affect the results of her investigation.
And Bai Zhi is her good sister. If the truth about her identity can really be found out, it will be a good thing for Bai Zhi.
Naturally, they will not miss any opportunity, but in the end, Lin Mengya will still let the person involved make their own choice whether to recognize each other or not.
She can figure it out, but she has to respect everyone's decision and wishes.
"I'll take care of things first. Miss, you can find a chance to leave the palace as soon as possible. I'm afraid it won't be that simple without the young master."
Of course Bai Su could take Lin Mengya out secretly, but it would be too troublesome and easy to get involved.
Lin Mengya smiled, took out the jade medal from her waist and said
"You came at the right time. Now that I have this in hand, I can come and go as I please inside and outside the palace."
Unexpectedly, Madam's token really played a big role.
Bai Su looked at it in surprise, and after the two of them had a heated discussion, they finally made up their minds.
Early the next morning, an inconspicuous carriage left the back door of the palace.
With his wife's token, Lin Mengya naturally does not need to be questioned too much when entering and leaving the palace.
Her banner was quite simple. In order to welcome the return of the princes, she had to purchase some things herself.
This reason is not far-fetched anywhere.
And when the time comes, she can just buy some things and get through.
In the carriage, Lin Mengya and Bai Su each suppressed their emotions and felt the swaying of the carriage.
After finally arriving at the merchant location they had agreed upon, Lin Mengya told the coachman to wait for them here and not to go anywhere.
Just in the name of going to see the goods, I sneaked away secretly.
"Miss, is it really okay for you to go to the Witch Temple in such a arrogant manner?"
Looking at Lin Mengya, who was wearing a pink gauze skirt, Bai Su said doubtfully.
Normally, shouldn't a young lady be careful about this kind of thing and either dress up or disguise herself?
Why is she not covering up at all today?
"No need. If I really went there secretly, I'm afraid that the witch would not see me."
