The other clan members in the main hall were also a little panicked.
That is a place where ancestors are worshiped. If it is burned by fire. They, the princes and grandsons, had no time to cry.
Lin Mengya returned to her position, but inadvertently saw her brother and Qin Mo sneaking back. Could it be—
No way!
Fortunately, everyone around was already in a mess. Even the queen and the prince seemed not to notice anything unusual about their brother and Qin Mo. Lin Mengya's heart could only hang in her chest.
The noisy crowd outside gradually calmed down. Fortunately, there is a man-made pool next to Showa Hall. Although the fire was not small, it was quickly brought under control.
After a while, Long Tianyu walked over with a livid face. In his hand, it seemed like he was holding something.
"How's the situation outside?"
The queen asked, presumably she also knew what everything in the Showa Palace meant to the royal family of Jin Dynasty, so her tone was slightly tinged with anxiety.
"We've got everything under control. It's just that there's something fishy about the Showa Palace this time."
Everyone's attention has been attracted by Long Tianyu. He opened his palm, and Lin Mengya saw a black, burnt piece of iron appear in Long Tianyu's palm.
"What is this?" The queen and prince had the same mood as Lin Mengya. But Long Tianyu looked at the fifth prince. His handsome face was already filled with a sinister look.
"This is an arrowhead, an arrowhead with words engraved on it! And it is also covered with traces of kerosene. Yingchu, what are your intentions? The princess who tried to shoot me was burned in front of me with this arrow. Zhaohe Palace. Don’t you have a rebellious and evil heart?”
Long Tianyu's words completely stunned the fifth prince.
Even the prince and the queen didn't understand why Long Tianyu made such accusations.
"Long Tianyu, please tell me clearly! How come this arrowhead became mine? How dare you slander me in public? Are you just too ambitious?"
The fifth prince looked at Long Tianyu with a pair of eyes, looking like he would never give up. But Long Tianyu sneered, raised the arrow in his hand, and said loudly:
"This arrowhead is not an ordinary arrowhead, but an arrowhead that a few of us used to pray for blessings at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. According to the rules, the rest of us have to pull it out and then carry it with us after special treatment. One hundred days. What about yours?"
Long Yingchu's expression changed instantly. According to the rules, this was indeed the way it should be. It's just that he scoffed at it at the time, so he didn't bring it with him.
"Yes, if the fifth prince also carries it with him, why not take it out and show it to everyone, so that it can be clarified?"
At this time, King Chongshan spoke very impartially. But the face of the fifth prince became increasingly ugly.
Clenching his hands, he didn't even know where the little cloth bag had been thrown. How could he take it out now
"Perhaps the fifth brother was careless, so he didn't know where he threw it?"
The prince suddenly opened his mouth to come to the rescue, attracting the attention of many people.
"Yes, that's right. Yes... I lost it accidentally. Besides, it's just a few arrowheads. How can my century-old Jin Dynasty foundation be lost because of this?"
Long Yingchu's words gave the queen a hint of coldness in her eyes. When the prince wanted to say a few words for Long Yingchu, the queen held him down.
She could see clearly that from the beginning, this was a trap targeting Long Yingchu. Regardless of whether this arrow is the key to letting the Showa Palace escape, Long Yingchu will definitely not be able to protect himself.
The Chen family is already a thing of the past, and there is no need to stay here any longer. Therefore, there was no need for Long Yingchu to stay with her.
At this time, it would be better not to let the prince arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, Lin Mengya then said quietly:
"Praying for the country is an important matter, and the queen and the prince should take it very seriously. The fifth prince is really open-minded. He doesn't take any of these red tapes to heart. It is really admirable."
After saying these words, the fifth prince was already a piece of meat on the chopping board.
Even though the fifth prince was proven innocent, he still disturbed the sacrifice. He also lost the arrowhead for praying, and now he is even more arrogant.
Those clan members may not be able to spare him.
"You... don't add fuel to the fire here! Huh, you two are working together, so naturally you want to wrongly accuse me! I should shoot you dead in the main hall!"
The fifth prince was already mad, so he told the people about shooting Lin Mengya.
By the time he reacted, it was already too late. Everyone looked at him like a stranger. Long Yingchu was panicked because his maternal grandfather, Chen, and the Queen and the Crown Prince both agreed and chose to remain silent.
The situation has become very clear. He has become the target of public criticism.
"You have no respect for your ancestors and no respect for your elder brothers. Although Mengya is just an outsider, she is also a princess given by the emperor. I don't regret dying, but I dare not violate the laws of my ancestors. Mengya begs the queen, the prince, and all the clansmen, Make the decision for Mengya.”
Lin Mengya suddenly knelt on the ground and spoke word by word.
The Showa Palace leak is actually just an introduction. Although Lin Mengya didn't know who did it, she could still use it.
The fifth prince personally admitted to shooting her. Therefore, as long as she takes advantage of this, no one, whether it is the prince or the Chen family, can protect Long Yingchu.
"I... "
Long Yingchu was still about to argue, but was interrupted by the queen's cold shout.
"Nie Zhan, you still haven't admitted your mistake!"
With a 'bang' sound, the cup in the queen's hand fell heavily to the ground.
A pair of phoenix eyes looked sharply at the fifth prince Long Yingchu.
"Mother, I..."
Long Yingchu was panicked. The reason why he relied on something was entirely because he felt that with the queen and the Chen family around, no one could touch him.
Therefore, when the prince asked him to give Lin Mengya some color on the spot, Long Yingchu immediately agreed.
Unexpectedly, the truth came out, and the prince acted as if he was staying out of the matter, not caring about his life or death at all.
"Shut up! What do you want to do? Is it possible to rebel? Your father is still in bed, but you are doing this. If your biological mother knew about it, she would definitely be angry with you! In the past, I saw that with Chen Out of love for the concubines and sisters, I will take good care of you. Who would have thought that you would not repent, yet you would do this kind of thing! I can’t keep you here anymore. Someone comes and puts the fifth prince into the sky prison. I want to strip him of his status as a prince and punish him with the crime of disrespect!"
The Queen's severe punishment temporarily calmed down the servility of all the clan members.
The fifth prince was already dumbfounded. Today, he finally saw what it meant to burn bridges across the river.
"No! You can't do this to me. It's the prince. It's the prince who told me to do this!"
In panic, the fifth prince could no longer care about anything else. My heart was so full that I actually wanted to pull the prince into the water. But, how could the queen let him have his wish
"Presumptuous, the prince has always treated you well. I didn't expect that you would not care about brotherhood for your own selfishness. You are unkind and unjust, how can I allow you to continue to be so presumptuous!"
The fifth prince was still yelling and cursing, but no one would believe his words anymore.
Long Tianyu helped Lin Mengya up, and when their eyes met, they could understand each other's thoughts.
This time during the Winter Festival, not only did the prince lose one of the fifth princes, but the fifth prince just casually bit him, which probably caused a lot of trouble.
Originally, they could go further. But now, if you push too hard, you will lose more than you gain.
"Princess Yu, come here."
The queen finally thought of Lin Mengya. As Lin Mengya's nominal mother-in-law, the Queen naturally had to comfort her.
"Yes, Queen."
Lin Mengya obediently walked to the queen's side, looking aggrieved.
"You have been wronged. You were almost injured because I failed to teach my son well. This is a jade bracelet given by the late emperor when I entered the palace. There is a scripture engraved on it. I hope the Buddha can bless me. You’re safe.”
With that said, the queen took off the jade bracelet from her wrist.
"No, this... this is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Lin Mengya wanted to refuse, but the queen stood up in person and put the jade bracelet on her hand.
"Princess Yu is a meritorious person, so I will naturally reward you heavily. This jade bracelet is just one of them."
What everyone saw was the queen's gentle smile, and she was even more caring towards Lin Mengya.
But she was the only one who knew that the queen might have a fight with her because of her double entendre.
"The Queen is so sincere, and I have to accept it. I'm just afraid that when the time comes, it will delay the Queen's affairs, which would not be beautiful."
Lin Mengya had a shy smile on her face, but she retorted.
The two people's eyes only met briefly, but a small spark burst out.
"You are sensible, go ahead, I will make it up to you in the future."
From Lin Mengya's eyes, the queen seemed to see her former self. When she first came to the palace, she also fantasized about singing in harmony with her husband.
Therefore, she worked hard to do her part, to be a virtuous queen and a virtuous wife, and to do her best for the queen. Unexpectedly, he was replaced by the emperor and had a heart-to-heart relationship with another woman.
Lin Mengya, regardless of her scheming background, is no different from the person she was before. But she is much happier than she was before.
Dajin doesn't need two such smart women. Therefore, Lin Mengya had to disappear from this world.
She stepped back respectfully, but the jade bracelet in Lin Mengya's hand was warm and cold. The slippery feeling disgusted her.
Maybe it's because it was given by the Queen.
