There was something in the palace maid's words. When Lin Mengya wanted to ask more questions, it was because she had already arrived at the small courtyard where they had been hiding.
Under the cover of Bai Su and the eldest palace maid, the two people quickly returned to the small courtyard.
Although it was freezing outside, the two little palace ladies slept peacefully because of Lin Mengya's cotton coat and cloak.
Although he had rolled in the snow before, the cotton-padded jacket had also been smoked dry by the charcoal fire in His Majesty's house.
Bai Su untied the acupuncture points of the two girls, calmed the two panicked girls for a few words, told them not to make any noise, and escorted them away secretly.
That white cloak is an excellent protective color on the snow.
Lin Mengya carefully hid in the corner. On her chest was the secret decree given to her by Emperor Jin Yuan, but in her mind, she was thinking about the words of the eldest palace maid.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that the extraordinary palace maid would meet her again.
There were slight footsteps nearby, and Lin Mengya immediately hid in a corner alertly. It wasn't until she saw Bai Su who was leaving and returning that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have everyone been sent back?"
Bai Su nodded, the two little palace maids were quite clever.
Moreover, by the time they arrived at the imperial dining room, the eldest palace maid had already arranged everything quietly, leaving no one suspicious.
"That sister said that although the prince has sealed off the palace, there are so many people in the palace who still need to eat and drink. Moreover, the prince has specifically told us that besides the middle palace, we are the only ones in the Ningqing Palace, and we must give preferential treatment."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya just raised the corners of her mouth.
The prince has a big dream in his heart, but his courage is really not big enough.
I'm afraid I really believed her nonsense. As the saying goes, like father, like son.
The father and son are both the same. They think they are smart and think they can figure out everyone's thoughts clearly.
As everyone knows, the most difficult thing to grasp in the world is the human heart.
He returned to Ningqing Hall without anyone noticing. As soon as he entered the room, Imperial Concubine Dehui walked over quickly.
He took Lin Mengya's cold little hand and looked up and down anxiously.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me? There's so much war and chaos outside, how can I hurt you?"
The imperial concubine's face was a little pale. The charcoal was burning brightly in the room, but it wasn't cold at all. It was probably because she was worried about her.
Lin Mengya smiled, with a bit of apology on her face.
"Mother and concubine are worried, but for us, this palace is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. But during the time I was out, has anyone come to the door?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took each other to the inner hall. Except for Aunt Jinyue who was making tea, there was no trace of anyone else inside.
Presumably, they are the same as those brought by Lin Mengya Like this, hidden in the dark for protection.
In fact, in addition to the inner hall, other rooms in Ningqing Hall are also equipped with charcoal pots.
This will not freeze them and make it easier for these people to hide on the spot.
Lin Mengya cherishes her own strength very much. She can't do that kind of thing that hurts the enemy a thousand times and damages herself eight hundred times.
"Who else is here? By the way, how is the situation in other palaces? Especially Concubine Xian, she is the same as us, and the Queen is the most difficult to deal with. Now I am only afraid that she will be poisoned."
Imperial Concubine Dehui frowned, her affectionate but also deeply worried.
She had taken hints from these two children before, so she was prepared.
But in order to ensure the safety of the plan, she did not inform others.
"The prince should not touch anyone for the time being. The outcome has not yet been determined. Most of the people involved now are the prince and the prince's men. If the prince dares to wantonly massacre everyone in the harem, then the whole country will be his enemy. He cannot take the throne.
secure."
From the prince's attitude towards her and His Majesty, Lin Mengya had already seen something about it.
The prince wanted to force the palace, but he also wanted to be justified.
Because he is the prince, at least in his own heart, the next emperor must be him.
So if he gets to that position sooner or later, no one will object strongly.
What's more, now, there are still 'those people' who are secretly watching.
Their calculations were shrewd, and it was just a matter of their own, the Long family.
As long as whoever wins in the end is the legitimate one, they will recognize whoever they are.
Sure enough, people are old and cunning, and their habit of not letting go of rabbits has not changed at all.
"That's good, that's good. I don't know how Yu'er is doing over there, but I hope he and Qing Han are safe and sound."
After hearing Lin Mengya's words, Imperial Concubine Dehui felt at ease.
Sitting on the couch, I kept reciting Buddhist scriptures silently.
Before I knew it, it was getting late.
Lin Mengya had nothing to do for the time being. She could only sit on the edge of the bed and look at everything outside.
The snow was still falling very hard, and there was already half a person's height of snow under the window.
Hopefully, God will fulfill your wishes.
"This damn weather, I don't know when it will end."
There is a house only a few miles away from the imperial palace. It is unknown who owns the mansion, but it has been temporarily requisitioned by Long Tianyu and others.
The gate and outer wall were broken open, and soldiers in red light armor kept coming and going.
.
The huge courtyard now looks like a bandit's den.
Long Qinghan, wearing dark red armor, leaned against the short wall and cursed angrily.
"Just be content. If it weren't for the fortifications dropped from the sky, do you think the reinforcements placed outside by the prince would have been delayed in arriving?"
Qinghu, who was also wearing armor, couldn't help but give the guy a blank look.
He had changed from the long robes he was accustomed to wearing, and his slim appearance, even when he was wearing armor, still exuded a unique and elegant temperament.
But it doesn't make people think that a boy looks like a girl, but it has a cool and intimidating effect.
He didn't have the slightest good impression of the men of the Long family.
It was only because of his relationship with the girl that he had no choice but to obey Long Tianyu's advice.
As for others, there is no door.
"Tsk, I'm just sighing. It's strange for you. Let me tell you, you always have ten or eight things to say against me. Believe it or not, I will tell my third sister-in-law and let her educate you."
Long Qinghan, who was wearing armor, was actually just speaking harshly, and his usual aristocratic appearance had long since disappeared.
Although the armor is useful, it is not light.
After a day of fighting, his physical strength was severely exhausted.
That handsome face with a flying figure now has dark circles under his eyes and looks quite haggard.
The reason why he insisted on standing in the snow instead of going inside to sit around the heater was because he was afraid that once he relaxed, his chance of fighting would be delayed.
Because now, this battle for the inheritance has just begun.
"Don't forget, your third sister-in-law is my biological sister."
Qinghu bared his teeth, and those bright white teeth made Long Qinghan couldn't help but shudder.
"Is your injury okay? Don't die and make my girl a widow."
Qinghu, who won the verbal battle, walked into the house and said coldly.
The doors in the mansion were wide open, and there was only one man in bright clothes, sitting at the top.
The bright red armor is bright, like a raging fire burning on the snow.
No matter what kind of darkness and coldness, it can be burned invisible by him.
The man's facial features are handsome and cold, and even though his face is pale, he will not be underestimated easily.
Especially those pair of black eyes, as deep as a deep pool, always make people surrender to him unconsciously.
He raised his eyes and gave Qinghu a faint look.
The latter has to leave the lobby no matter how reluctant he is.
"It's okay, don't tell her about this."
Long Tianyu's voice was low and hoarse. In order to make the scene more realistic, he Suffered a little injury.
But they have avoided the critical point, and now there is no serious problem.
Holding letters from other princes in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light.
It seems that Ya'er's prediction is good, these people don't have any good intentions.
They were afraid that as soon as they broke into the palace, someone would rush into his father's study, force him to write an imperial edict to abdicate, and then start a new round of fighting.
This would be meaningless to him.
Therefore, he must wait for a sure chance.
"Reply a letter to several princes, saying that my troops have been fighting for a day and a night. They are really exhausted and have to rest. If they want to attack first, then they are welcome."
Long Tianyu didn't care at all and threw those high-sounding letters into the brazier.
There was a moment of mockery in his eyes, as he watched the orange flames swallow up the falsehoods without showing any regret at all.
Previously, the prince's men were coming with great force, and most of the battles were fought by his men.
Those princes were either late in arriving, or they did not have enough soldiers, so they could only hold the battle from behind.
Now that the prince's limelight has been thwarted, he cowers in the palace and dare not come out.
They started gearing up like this and wanted to use him as a sword.
Do you think he is a fool?
"yes."
Following him was still Lin Kui, but at this time he also changed into the attire of a guard.
He was born in the military, but now his armor fits better than anyone else.
But Kyoto is already devastated because of this civil strife.
Many people didn't have time to escape, and now they can only huddle in a relatively safe place, waiting for the final result.
Fortunately, the princess had made preparations in advance and arranged many residences on the outskirts of Beijing near the palace.
Those courtyards are spacious and inconspicuous. The most amazing thing is that the courtyards and houses have been hollowed out.
The secret room underground can hide many people.
Therefore, they had evacuated many homes near the palace a few days before the incident.
Unexpectedly, the princess is not only resourceful, but also thoughtful about these things.
Those who knew the inside story all admired and marveled at the princess's kindness.
It seems that the prince is the smartest person. In the vast sea of people, only the prince can discern pearls, so he identified the princess.
With this thought in my mind, I kept walking.
He ordered a few messengers to go to each house with letters to report back. Just as he was about to go back and return, he was stopped by a voice behind him.
