Lin Mengya stubbornly closed her lips and refused to utter a single word.
Concubine De was so angry that she almost dropped her tea cup, but fortunately, Princess Lingnan snatched it away.
"My queen, please calm down. The princess is young after all. If she does something wrong, my queen will teach her a lesson. Why is she so angry that she is so angry? It's just that she has wronged Hui'er."
Although Princess Lingnan was trying to comfort her, her words were clearly provoking trouble.
Sure enough, Concubine De was even more angry.
The jade finger pointed at Lin Mengya, trembling with anger.
"Kneel down for me!"
Concubine De shouted angrily, and the people watching the excitement couldn't help but sweat for Princess Yu.
Although Lin Mengya knelt down reluctantly, she refused to say that she was wrong.
"How did I teach you in the past? How can you be in charge of Prince Yu's Mansion when you are so jealous!"
Concubine De seemed to be really angry, and she didn't care about the presence of others, so she questioned Lin Mengya.
Tears swirled in those eyes.
Lin Mengya bit her lip and refused to utter a single word.
Shangguan Hui, who was wet and her lips were slightly blue from the cold, kept crying in a low voice.
"Miss Shangguan, it's because of my lax management of the family that this happened. Don't worry, I will definitely ask the best imperial doctor to diagnose and treat you."
Concubine De looked at Shangguan Hui apologetically, but a trace of doubt flashed through her heart.
Ya'er has never been an impulsive person. She always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange.
"Thank you so much, Hui'er... Hui'er, thank you so much for your love. Aunt, aunt, let's go."
Shangguan Hui had just been fished out of the water. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she was already clinging to her body.
The hairpin rings were scattered, the eyes were horrified, and they were huddled together tightly. There was no trace of the lady she had just been from a famous family.
"Look at the good things you have done! I have no shame in staying any longer. I will deal with you when I return home."
Concubine De already looked like she was furious with Lin Mengya.
Just at this moment, the eunuch in charge of etiquette came to the side hall to announce the decree.
"The auspicious time has arrived, please take your seats."
Looking at the eunuchs outside, the people waiting to watch the fun also left one after another.
Lin Mengya knelt there stubbornly. Today, she was still extremely embarrassed.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Shangguan Hui was also taken away by Princess Lingnan. Lin Mengya was the only one left in the side hall.
"Master, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground."
Bai Su, who was hiding aside, quickly came up to help his master.
By the way, he put a small piece of paper into her hand.
"This was given to me secretly by Miss Wang's maid."
Bai Su leaned into Lin Mengya's ear and whispered.
That night, Lin Mengya showed Miss Wang her mother's miserable condition.
Ms. Wang, who was usually fierce and straightforward, burst into tears.
It turned out that after her mother was rumored to have died, her father, Wang Hanlin, wanted to marry her off.
If it weren't for her insistence on keeping filial piety for her mother, she might have fallen into her father's trap.
Lin Mengya opened the note and saw a beautiful small word on it, with a smile on her face.
"I see, I still want to be the prince. What a sophisticated plan."
He burned the note in the candle flame and turned it into a wisp of ashes.
Lin Mengya straightened her clothes and said:
"Let's go, it's time for us to appear."
In the Chun'en Hall, there was still peace and prosperity, and the prince and queen were naturally the protagonists of the banquet.
Because of Shangguan Hui's incident, Lin Mengya also became a celebrity at the banquet.
It's a pity that there was something else in the eyes of those people looking at her.
"My concubine is late. Please forgive me, Your Highness, the Crown Prince and the Queen."
There were still tears on her face, which made Lin Mengya even more pitiful.
Although, I already hate Lin Mengya to the core. But as a man, it is inevitable to want to use such a beauty as his own.
There was a hint of hesitation in the prince's eyes, but Concubine Dugu's gaze was already fully visible.
Unexpectedly, the prince was actually interested in that woman. Lin Mengya was truly her fierce rival.
"It's okay, it's just a family dinner, come and sit down."
The queen's gaze did not change in the slightest because Lin Mengya continued to oppose her.
In her eyes, Lin Mengya was just a small fish and shrimp.
Even if the prince was defeated by Lin Mengya, it was just a moment of carelessness.
"Yes, thank you Queen."
Concubine De still looked very angry, and Lin Mengya also sat in her seat glumly.
The people around him seemed to be interested, and no one came to meddle in other people's business.
The atmosphere of the banquet was slightly awkward. Lin Mengya drank two glasses of water and wine, then excused herself as she was too drunk and let the maid help her sober up.
Lin Mengya and the maid were originally very low-key.
Therefore, no one was alarmed.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of Chun'en Palace, Lin Mengya stopped pretending to be frivolous.
One master and one servant walked to the side hall on the right side of Chun'en Hall.
The side hall is not big and is clean.
There were only a few rows of chairs inside, which was considered a temporary resting place.
"Master, Miss Wang asked you to meet, what's going on?"
Bai Su looked around warily, this was the palace after all.
Moreover, neither Qinghu nor Ye could easily enter the palace.
Although she had already discussed it with Miss Wang, she was still slightly worried.
"It should be our agreement on how to deal with her father when he attacks the prince. After all, last night, when she saw Mrs. Wang like that, she was so emotional that she didn't remember our plan. It's understandable."
Lin Mengya wasn't too worried. Since Miss Wang could come to her, she should have gotten new news.
Sure enough, after a while, someone came over carrying a lantern.
The door of the side hall was opened, and a woman wearing a pomegranate red dress came in holding a lantern.
"Princess, I've been waiting for a long time."
The person's appearance is somewhat similar to Mrs. Wang's, but much younger.
"It's okay, it's just that you asked me out. Why did you ask me out?"
There was some obscure embarrassment on Miss Wang's face, which finally turned into a sigh.
"I didn't expect that my father would be so shameless. If it weren't for the uncertainty of my mother's life or death, I would never have stayed in that home again."
Before she finished speaking, Miss Wang started crying.
The miserable look made Bai Su feel a little soft-hearted.
"Oh? Mr. Wang, what are your plans again?"
Lin Mengya asked with concern. Miss Wang took a few steps forward, covering her face and crying.
"My father said that if you don't die, then I will have to marry a lowly slave as my wife."
The next sentence suddenly became extremely sinister.
Miss Wang, who had been looking sad just now, suddenly became fierce and determined.
Suddenly, a silvery dagger was pulled out from his cuff and stabbed Lin Mengya hard at the unprepared Lin Mengya.
"Master! Be careful!"
The silver light stung Bai Su's eyes, the movement was too fast.
Even if she kicked Miss Wang away, it would not help.
A flash of bright red gradually spread from Lin Mengya's hand.
No one expected that at the critical moment, she would be brave enough to hold Miss Wang's dagger with her bare hands.
"Master, are you okay?"
Bai Su's heart was in his throat, fearing that something might happen to Lin Mengya.
"I'm fine, I just cut my hand."
It is said that ten fingers are connected to the heart, but the price of holding this sharp blade is that the wound is deep into the finger bone.
Lin Mengya coldly let go of her hand.
Suddenly, blood flowed profusely, and the blood-stained dagger fell to the ground.
"Bai Su, seal my acupuncture points."
Bai Su nodded immediately and sealed the acupuncture points on Lin Mengya's arm with his fingers like lightning.
But the dripping blood made her hands look particularly ferocious.
The scariest thing was the unchanging expression on her face.
It seems that the person injured is not himself.
"Why are you doing this?"
Bai Su's foot was not gentle, and Miss Wang could not get up for a long time. She could only lie in the corner and look at the woman in front of her in horror.
"I...I...I don't want to marry a cheap slave! You are Princess Yu and the daughter of the general's family. How could you know about my pain?"
The corners of her mouth had already overflowed with blood following her words.
Bai Su's kick may have hurt her internal organs.
But Lin Mengya didn't sympathize with her at all.
"For your own sake, do you even care about your mother's life?"
Approaching step by step, Lin Mengya's cold face and hands stained red with blood looked like a ghost.
"My mother... If my mother knew that her death would bring me glory, then she would have deserved her death... Mother, shouldn't she sacrifice herself for her children?"
Such a confident person wants to sacrifice his mother's life.
Even Lin Mengya felt a little bit chilled.
It is said that tigers are poisonous and cannot eat their seeds, but a crazy and extremely selfish person like Miss Wang will not even let her mother go.
"Are you going to take him back to the mansion for interrogation? Master?"
Dare to hurt the master, it is already an unforgivable sin.
Bai Su really wanted to kill this hateful woman with one palm.
"Kill him."
A cold voice announced Miss Wang's fate.
The figure huddled in the corner widened his eyes and shouted desperately:
"I still have something to say, someone wants to kill you!"
Bai Su's palm stopped in mid-air.
Lin Mengya looked at Miss Wang and hesitated for a moment.
"Tell me, who wants to kill me."
Seeing that she had hope of living, Miss Wang immediately prepared to tell the man behind the scenes.
"That person is—poof—"
A mouthful of blood spurted into the air. Bai Su turned around and returned to Lin Mengya's side.
"You-you actually-"
Miss Wang was in disbelief. When she saw the woman in front of her, her eyes widened with hatred.
"You won't even spare your own mother. What are you doing alive?"
