The prince's army inside the palace and the army outside, led by Long Tianyu and supplemented by several other princes, faced off for another day.
Night arrived as scheduled, and Lin Mengya had been at the window for almost an hour.
But everyone else in the room also understood her worries at this time, so no one spoke to disturb her contemplation.
"Master, the person delivering dinner is here."
Bai Su, who had just gone out to check the situation, returned and reported back to Lin Mengya in a low voice.
The latter immediately understood what she meant and turned around with a bit of surprise on his face.
"Who sent it here?"
Bai Su whispered in her ear and told her about the person she had been waiting for a long time.
"Please come in quickly, remember, don't let anyone find out."
After Lin Mengya finished her instructions, Bai Su nodded immediately and quietly walked out of the dormitory door.
"Who is here and why are you so surprised?"
The wait was really unnerving, and the imperial concubine actually walked behind the desk and painted plum blossoms by the window.
She had heard before that her mother-in-law was a lady from a famous family who was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
When I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary.
Other women, when they have nothing to do, always like to embroider flowers, wear shoe soles and so on.
It depends on people’s hobbies, how elegant and sentimental they are!
The more Lin Mengya looked at it, the more she felt ashamed. It seemed that as a woman, she really had nothing to offer in this time and space.
"Slave Zhao Ran, please give your regards to the Imperial Concubine and your Highness the Princess."
The person who came in behind Bai Su was indeed Zhao Ran, the eldest palace maid who had helped him in the imperial study room.
Imperial Concubine Deok Hye probably had no impression of her, but because she was someone whom her daughter-in-law valued, her attitude was extraordinarily cordial.
Lin Mengya didn't want to let her kneel down, so she immediately helped her up.
"Sister Zhao's previous help has made me deeply grateful. Now that you have come to help us again, I, Lin Mengya, will never forget this great kindness."
If Zhao Ran can come, he must have something to tell her.
Lin Mengya was not stupid, and of course she knew that with Zhao Ran's status, the news she brought would be very beneficial to them.
However, Zhao Ran, who had grown up in the palace since childhood, seemed a little at a loss for the sincerity of the former princess and current princess.
She could only rub the corners of her clothes before speaking cautiously.
"This slave cannot be the princess' sister. It's just that I have received great kindness from Mrs. Lin. Without Mrs. Lin, I would not be alive today. Therefore, if I can help the princess even a little bit, then I will die."
I am willing to do so." >
What Zhao Ran said was sincere. What kind of people Lin Mengya and the imperial concubine were, whether they were sincere or not can be seen clearly in one sentence.
Now they all believe Zhao Ran's words, but what makes Lin Mengya find it even more incredible is that.
As if there is a gentle but strong hand pulling her from somewhere, all the good deeds her mother has done in the past will turn into good fruits and be rewarded to her.
The corners of her eyes were slightly moist, but she quickly covered it up.
Even though she was moved, even if she wanted to cry, she still wanted to wait until all this was over before she could do whatever she wanted.
Now, she must be patient.
"Mrs. Lin is really a hero among women. As a woman trapped in the palace, I only feel ashamed. It is not that I didn't hear about how Mrs. Lin was poisoned to death in the palace. I am just ashamed and ashamed.
If it weren't for Mrs. Lin, I wouldn't have the good life I have now."
The imperial concubine's voice was low, she really regretted it.
If she had been braver and not thought about how to protect herself wisely all day long, she might have been able to save the wife of the Lin family.
Think about it, for so many years, she didn't even dare to reveal her true temperament, but what did she get?
As a cold imperial concubine, even her own son was dragged into this abyss of hopelessness.
Maybe in the past, she shouldn't have allowed herself to be married to such a cannibalistic palace.
"Concubine, you don't have to blame yourself so much. It was not easy for you to struggle under the Queen's hands. Besides, the hatred between my mother and the Queen was not something you could have stopped. If you really got involved at that time.
I'm afraid that by now, your husband and I have already turned into loess. So don't take this matter to your heart."
Lin Mengya turned her head sideways, smiled gently, and her tone and attitude were extremely sincere.
She really doesn't blame Concubine Dehui, because she understands that there are too many things in the world that can't be managed if she wants to.
In the past, when she was reading Journey to the West in modern times, she always felt that Tang Monk had too many things going on.
He has to take part in bad things, and he has to join in in the good things.
Of the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, how many of them were caused by him?
Journey to the West is not so much a documentary about learning from the scriptures as it is a travelogue about four people doing chivalry and justice.
But she later understood that the reason why Tang Seng dared to do this was because under his command were the Monkey King, who was extremely powerful in combat, as well as Marshal Tianpeng and General Shulian, who were both close friends in heaven.
No matter how bad it is, people will ride on it
The horse is also the prince of the Dragon King, a noble and handsome person among the gods.
With such dazzling strength that even the world of gods and immortals dares to go sideways, what kind of mess can you dare not interfere with?
Therefore, she determined to be an awesome behind-the-scenes boss like Tang Monk.
If she wanted to do anything, she would just wave her hand and someone would automatically jump out to help her.
But until she can no longer dominate the world, she has no choice but to keep her tail between her legs.
Therefore, she understood very well how the imperial concubine felt helpless at the time.
"Good boy, you are always so tolerant and generous. From now on, my mother-in-law will definitely protect you with her own life. Even if that brat offends you, my mother-in-law will definitely stand by your side!"
Imperial Concubine Dehui did not expect that this child seemed to be sensible, and the guilt in her heart gradually turned into a stronger love for Lin Mengya.
She knows her own son better than anyone else.
In the past, because of Your Majesty's education, although Yu'er looked calm on the outside, his temper was too gloomy.
Not to mention the ladies from famous families in Kyoto, even her mother always felt that she couldn't get close to him.
Although Jinyue was familiar with him, she always felt like they were separated by a mountain.
But since Lin Mengya entered the house, the child's defenses have gradually melted away.
All of this is the result of this girl Ya'er.
Seeing the harmony between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhao Ran also smiled.
There was relief and shame in his eyes.
After being rescued by Madam, she was thinking about how to repay Madam's kindness.
But due to her status, she hasn't had much chance in recent years.
After seeing that Miss Lin's mother-in-law also loved Miss Lin so much, she always felt that her hanging heart gradually relaxed.
"Look at me, people talk more when they get older. Zhao Ran, right? Do you have anything to tell Ya'er?"
The imperial concubine wiped her tears and said with some embarrassment.
Because he had let go of his worries, the smiles on Zhao Ran's face became more numerous.
"This servant was negligent and almost forgot about the business. Madam, princess, actually this time the prince raised troops, it was not the prince's idea, but the intention of Princess Tiancheng. It was she who inspired the queen to participate in this matter."
What? Princess Tiancheng?
This news made Lin Mengya stunned.
She never thought that the rebellion was not the prince's idea, but that woman's, Princess Tiancheng! r> "How did you get the news? Is it accurate?"
Lin Mengya grabbed Zhao Ran's hand and asked in a lowered voice.
Zhao Ran thought for a while and then said.
"Because I have worked diligently in the palace over the years and don't like to form cliques. The queen trusts me very much and lets me take charge of the royal kitchen. Princess Tiancheng looks a little innocent, but she is actually cruel and ruthless.
In the past, there were several little maids in the imperial kitchen who couldn't figure out her temper, and later they were beaten to death. In order to prevent those little girls from being harmed, the slave always went to see her off in person. As time went by, the people around Princess Tiancheng
People's guard against me is lowered. That's why I can hear these things."
What Zhao Ran said makes sense. She has lived in this palace pretending to be deaf and mute for so many years. In the eyes of the princess and the queen, a person like Zhao Ran is just a dead person who is still alive.
Therefore, they may be less cautious when dealing with Zhao Ran.
But the news was a bit too exciting, and Lin Mengya had indigestion for a while.
She had long known that Princess Tiancheng was not a law-abiding woman, but she encouraged her mother and brother to rebel.
Isn't this unwise to do this?
"Didn't they tell you why Princess Tiancheng did this?"
There were some things that Lin Mengya felt didn't make sense.
Not to mention that there is a certain danger in forcing the palace to rebel. If Princess Tiancheng really wants to help her brothers ascend the throne, then she can disguise herself and then assassinate her brothers.
"By the way, where was Princess Tiancheng after the accident?"
Although Zhao Ran is not good at analyzing people's hearts, it is not difficult for her to inquire about such things.
"I heard from the palace people that since the accident, Princess Tiancheng has been in the Queen's palace and has never come out. Moreover, the food in the Queen's palace has been a bit strange recently. In the past, the slaves would deliver the meals directly to them.
In the hands of an aunt who personally serves the Queen. However, in recent days, the meals have been handed over to a strange aunt outside the palace. The slave seems to have seen this aunt several times in the princess's bedroom. But the princess has been there recently.
God, I didn’t eat with the Queen, so I feel strange.”
Zhao Ran is as meticulous as dust, so even if she doesn't say some things with her mouth, she still pretends to them in her heart.
Lin Mengya also felt a little strange. After looking at each other, the latter's eyes had the same confusion as hers.
"Normally, if the princess feels that others have served her well, it would not be strange to give it to her mother. But I have been in the palace for many years and know that food and drink are a big deal, and I will never leave it to a newcomer. Even if it is done by a newcomer.
