Lin Mengya felt relieved, knowing that this damn man probably understood what she meant.
But there was an impatient look on his face.
"His Highness didn't specify what kind of tea he wanted me to bring, so he was just making things difficult for others at will. Although I, Gong Ya, am not a wealthy person, I am not someone who can be bullied at will. If Your Highness is not satisfied, you can find someone else. Serve!”
These words made other people in the flower hall change their expressions.
Murong Xi was indeed deliberately trying to embarrass Gong Ya.
This can be seen after the two of them met.
But what surprised them was Gong Ya's attitude.
Remember before, didn't she still have the attitude of being submissive and letting things go
"snort!"
Murong Xi seemed to be really angry, looking at Gong Ya with a cold look in her eyes.
"Who do you think you are talking to?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Murong Xi was completely irritated at this time.
But Gong Ya looked like she was crazy and said regardless.
"Your Highness's status is high, does it mean that you can be unreasonable? If people with high status in the world can bully those who are lower than themselves, then what's the use of laws?"
"Are you saying I broke the law? Or that I acted recklessly?"
"That's what His Highness said himself, I didn't say it!"
With a bang, the copper plate fell to the ground, and the grapes on it also fell all over the ground.
Gong Ya seemed to be frightened and stared blankly at Murong Xi in front of her.
Gong Wu secretly screamed something bad, stepped forward, grabbed his sister's sleeve, and knelt in front of Murong Xi.
"Your Highness, please calm down. My little sister was arrogant and lost her sense of control. When Gong Yu goes back, he will strictly discipline her and never dare to disobey His Highness again!"
Even though everyone in the family was surprised, their reaction speed was also very fast.
Master Lian and Mrs. Lian immediately began to plead for mercy. Murong Xi's face was extremely ugly, but at least Gong Ya had already knelt down to admit her mistake, so she did not continue to get angry.
"I don't have to worry about what happened today, Gong Ya, just take care of yourself!"
Murong Xi finally let go, and Gong Wu immediately pulled his sister, thanked her and left.
The two people walked out of the yard quickly. Gong Wu breathed a sigh of relief after finally sending his sister to the carriage.
"What happened today? Just now, you really scared me. I know you don't like this domineering His Highness Xi, but this is in Longdu or the Lian family, so you should be more tolerant."
Gong Wu's tone was not that of blame. In fact, he didn't like His Highness Xi very much.
However, today is the home court of the Lian family. The two siblings are not afraid of Murong Xi, but it would be bad if the Lian family is implicated.
"Fifth brother, someone wants to harm Uncle Lian's family."
Her voice was so low that only the two siblings could hear her.
Gong Wu reacted very quickly. After hearing her words, he opened the curtain of the carriage, pretended to be casual, and looked around.
"There is indeed someone around the Lian family, do you know who they are?"
The expressions of the two siblings became serious. Gong Wu knew that his sister was definitely not the kind of person who would do anything willful.
Lin Mengya shook her head.
"Now I only know that they sent the grapes in Murong Xi's name. When you go back later, you must use a secret method to remind the Lian family."
Her cooperation with Long Tianyu just now has made Putao lose the possibility of poisoning Lian's family.
Long Tianyu must have understood what she meant, but without a domestic thief, how could he attract outside ghosts
I don't know if there was a problem on Long Tianyu's side, or if it was the root cause of the problem planted by the Lian family.
In short, if they act rashly, they will not have the upper hand.
"I understand. How about I have someone take you home first?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and rejected his proposal.
"You saw it just now, right? There are already those people's spies around the Lian Mansion. If I leave now, there's no guarantee they won't catch up. In the mansion today, except for the Lian family and His Highness Xi, we will We are two brothers and a sister. If their purpose is also ours, wouldn’t it be more dangerous if I am left alone? "
In fact, there was another reason why she didn't leave.
Judging from the evidence currently available, the other party used Long Tianyu's name to attempt to murder Lian's family.
This is why she, alone in the tea bowl, left clues to Long Tianyu.
Obviously, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, there will be discord between the Lian family and Long Tianyu.
There are too many places to make a fuss about this matter.
Therefore, she had to let Long Tianyu know in advance so that she could seize the opportunity.
"Okay, remember, if anything goes wrong, don't worry about anything. Find a safe place to hide yourself. Don't worry about me, you know?"
Gong Wu weighed it up and found that now the Gong family and the Lian family were advancing and retreating together.
Besides, he must go in again and inform Lian Shibo and the others.
Nodding, Lin Mengya told Gong Wu not to worry about herself.
Gong Wu was still a little uneasy, but with Lin Mengya's repeated assurances, he returned to Lian Mansion again.
Time passes minute by minute.
Lin Mengya only felt that the days were like years, and she was very anxious in her heart, but now she couldn't do anything at all.
She has done everything she can, and the only thing she can still do to help now is not to cause trouble for them.
However, since Long Tianyu is here, she doesn't need to worry too much about everything.
She knows her own man better than anyone else, right
At this moment, the man Lin Mengya longed for was sitting in the flower hall with a gloomy face, but his mind was racing up and down.
How on earth did she do it
Murong Xi only felt that it was a bit magical. He had just opened the cup of tea that she brought to him just now, and he saw two vaguely legible words on the teacup - 'poisonous'!
The writing was brown and disappeared quickly.
But he knew that this must be Gong Ya's warning to him.
What is poisonous? He suddenly remembered that she seemed to have paid a lot of attention to the grapes in the copper plate just now.
Without thinking much, he found a reason to knock over the copper plate.
Sure enough, I saw an expression of relief in her eyes.
Not to mention how she discovered it, these grapes belonged to her, so she asked someone to deliver them to Lian's house.
After all, who wanted to frame him
"Your Highness Xi, I have offended many people today. Please don't blame Gong Ya. She is just a girl, so she will inevitably be a little arrogant. Your Highness is very tolerant, and he must not be willing to argue with her as a girl."
Lian Sheng stood up and said everything he said to Gong Ya.
Murong Xi was naturally not really angry, but the drama still had to be done.
Gong Ya didn't give a clear warning just now, so there must be some fraud involved.
It seems that today, they have become a turtle in a urn.
"That's all."
He spoke coldly, seeming a little impatient.
Lian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't say much.
Taking advantage of the situation, he greeted people and served tea to everyone again.
"Don't be too busy drinking tea. I have something I want to ask Mr. Lian."
"I don't dare, just say so, Your Highness."
"How long has Lord Lien been the commander of the Praetorian Guards?"
Lian Sheng didn't understand what it meant, but he still lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering.
"It's been over five years."
"In that case, Master Lian must be well aware of all the defense points in Longdu?"
Seeing his keen interest, Liansheng had no choice but to nod.
Murong Xi pondered for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.
"Then what happened on the fifth day of March in the fifteenth year of Yongchang, what if an adult did it?"
Lian Sheng was stunned and looked at Murong Xi in confusion.
The latter's eyes were unsettled, making him unpredictable.
That thing... could it be...
"I just feel that what is happening today is very similar to that time. I heard that the Emperor was very tolerant at that time, and he must have set an example for us, so we should follow suit."
When Murong Xi said the last word, the eyes of Lian Sheng and Master Lian changed slightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Lian Xing, who didn't understand at all, was about to ask a question, but saw Gong Wu coming in again after returning.
"Brother Gong Wu, you are back."
He immediately greeted him, but Gong Wu quickly spoke a word with his lips when only two people saw it.
This was something they were used to playing on a whim when they were young, so now, even Xing understood what he meant in an instant.
"Lian Xing, go over to your mother's side. She has something to tell you. Your Highness Xi, I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
Lian Xing immediately walked to Mrs. Lian, who didn't know anything. The flower hall suddenly fell silent.
"Even my lord, I will go with you."
Murong Xi stood up and said. After Lian Sheng hesitated for a moment, he nodded.
But as soon as the two people left the flower hall, they saw Xu Yan, a tea doctor who was loyal to the Lian family, lying on the ground outside the door, his life or death unknown.
Behind him, the attendant who had followed Gong Ya and accompanied her to the small kitchen stood aside with his head lowered.
"Xu Yan, what's going on?"
He walked over three steps in a row, but suddenly changed his direction midway and struck the attendant with a palm.
The man's reaction speed was also top-notch. He bounced away immediately, and in his hand was a half-arm-long dagger.
"It's you!"
Lian Sheng shouted bitterly, he was in the mansion today and did not bring a saber.
But a pair of fleshy palms were not afraid of the opponent's sharp blade and faced him.
"What are you waiting for? Take action!"
The man was forced so hard that he pulled his neck and shouted.
Suddenly, many strangers with sharp blades rushed out of the yard and pressed over them instantly.
"Your Highness, please go back to the flower hall first!"
It is difficult for two fists to beat four hands. What's more, these people come prepared, their martial arts are very fierce, and their moves are all aimed at killing people.
Murong Xi did not answer, but instead drew out the long sword that never left his waist and joined the battle group.
