"Want to go out? Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
Lin Mengya just asked casually, but Long Tianyu's brows suddenly frowned. He looked quite embarrassed.
"It is the spring plowing season now, but there are many places affected by the disaster. Therefore, the prince ordered me to patrol various places to prevent spring plowing from being delayed."
Lin Mengya nodded with understanding. Indeed, in ancient times when productivity was low. Spring plowing is an important condition for the survival of the entire country.
If it is really delayed, it will be a major matter for the national economy and people's livelihood. But nothing can be careless.
"The prince is right, this matter is indeed a big deal. You should be more careful on the road. If the prince and the queen are interested, it will be troublesome to deal with you on the road."
Long Tianyu is in the capital, and I believe that no one dares to deal with him.
However, if you are away from home, it is difficult to say. Moreover, I heard that many places were hit by disasters last year. If one of them is not handled well, it may have a negative impact on Long Tianyu.
This is not an easy task. Even she feels that this matter is indeed difficult to handle.
"I know, but I'm not in the house. You have to be careful about everything and wait until I come back."
This time, Long Tianyu also felt that the prince had transferred him away from the capital at this time. Perhaps, it was a conspiracy against Lin Mengya.
However, what the prince said did make sense.
Last year, natural disasters raged. There were countless victims, but it was difficult to prevent any riots.
If it were at this time, because of the spring plowing, the peaceful situation that was barely maintained would be in vain.
When the time comes, the victims will riot, which will shake the foundation of the entire country.
"I know, when are you leaving? I'll tell Butler Deng to prepare something for you."
Putting away all her worries, Lin Mengya showed a relaxed smile.
How could she not know that if Long Tianyu was not here? How will her life be threatened? My father and brother have led their men back to the border.
Now, if even Long Tianyu is gone. She seemed helpless around her.
It wasn't just the two people in the palace who wanted her life
However, now she has at least attracted the attention of the neutral ministers in the court. If she could successfully develop an antidote that could cure the emperor. I believe those people will never see her become an innocent soul easily.
"Don't worry, I won't leave for a few days. Since I am trying to appease the victims, I have to make some preparations."
Suddenly, Long Tianyu looked at Lin Mengya in front of him tenderly.
If possible, he really wanted her to not have to worry about anything anymore.
"Ok, I know."
Lin Mengya also looked at him softly. In fact, since Long Tianyu was not in Kyoto, she could also let her develop her own Sanjuetang.
I heard that due to its rapid development recently, it has become a somewhat famous organization around Kyoto.
If you want to grow bigger, you should put a lot of thought into it.
In the evening, Lin Mengya was reading in Liuxinyuan, while listening to several girls exchanging the information they had collected.
In fact, it was just some gossip about the mansion and Concubine De.
Although since returning, Lin Mengya also felt that Concubine De seemed to be a lot more honest. He neither caused trouble for her nor sent anyone to embarrass her. Now, she is 100% sure. The woman who lives in Yaxuan is definitely not the original Concubine De.
Long Tianyu should have noticed it too. How could someone as smart as him fail to recognize his mother-in-law
If he hadn't kept her, it would have been to paralyze the queen. Secondly, I also want to find out the whereabouts of the real Concubine De. Presumably with Long Tianyu's temperament, he must have simply and roughly arrested her for interrogation.
"I heard that the Yaxuan has been deserted recently. Even Yunruo, I haven't seen her for a long time. Before, she was the most favored maid beside Concubine De. Now Concubine De is always feeling a little unwell. , but she disappeared."
With Bai Zhi here, all kinds of gossip in the palace will definitely not be missed.
On the table are dried fruits, roasted seeds and nuts and fashionable cakes that she brought back from outside the house. He has a cute little face and eats like a hamster.
However, the other two people have long been accustomed to what she does.
"But, I don't think that Yunruo is a law-abiding person. Years ago, I was chatting with the ladies in the kitchen. I heard that this Yunruo, because she is a popular person around Empress De, has to do it every day. Eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge to nourish your skin. It has to be blood swallow. I also heard that the blood swallow in our house can only be eaten by our master and the empress De Fei. I was so proud that I had someone send it from the empress. I Look, Concubine De is treating her better than the prince!"
Bai Shao said disdainfully, but she only treated it as gossip. But hearing Lin Mengya's ears seemed to bring back some memories.
If Bai Shao hadn't said it, she would have almost forgotten it.
Before, Yunruo could be regarded as the number one person in the palace by Empress De's side.
She originally thought that this girl Yun Ruo was an old acquaintance of Concubine De in the palace. But from Long Tianyu's reaction, it is not difficult to infer that Yun Ruo is actually a stranger.
How could a girl who had just arrived at Concubine De's side be pampered by something as precious as a blood-eating swallow
"Blood swallow is nothing. I heard from the clothes washers that the clothes this Yunruo wears are all made of fine brocade. Even our master only has a few pieces of this kind of fabric."
Bai Zhi twisted her nose and said, obviously she didn't have a good impression of this Yun Ruo.
Anyway, they fell in love with the heart of the hospital. Naturally, he hates the people over at Yaxuan.
"Fine brocade material? That's a good thing to use as tribute. Previously, when the palace gave out New Year's rewards, our master only got three pieces. The Concubine De also got five pieces to reward people. It's not even enough. He actually gave it to her to wear, which is really nice to her."
The three of them laughed together, but there was nothing to envy in their hearts.
Yunruo just ate better and wore better clothes. But they hold an extremely important position in the master's heart.
Not to mention anything else, even the monthly dividends from the drug store are enough to make them rich little women.
It was just a few pieces of cloth, how could it compare to Lin Mengya's sincere devotion to them
"Baiji, go and get some of my fine brocade clothes. I want to take a look."
Lin Mengya said calmly on the side, and she had already put the book on the table.
All along, Lin Mengya actually had a doubt.
If the Queen held Concubine De host hostage, how could she guarantee that this fake Concubine De would not expose her secrets
All in all, the Queen and Concubine De have been enemies for many years. The degree of understanding of Concubine De may be even more thorough than that of Long Tianyu, his son.
If you are not careful, Long Tianyu will see through it. Maybe, what she wants to do will be in vain.
To put it another way, if Lin Mengya herself stood in the position of the queen. Well, in order to prevent others from seeing through the fake Concubine De at such an early stage, we must find someone who is very familiar with every move of De Concubine. Moreover, she must be a close confidant of the Queen who is always around the fake Concubine De, spying and monitoring her. .
Presumably, Yunruo is this person.
But Yunruo's every move was not like that of an ordinary maid. Either he is humble to the core, or he is arrogant to the heavens.
She gave people the impression of respect, with a hint of disdain.
The smile is fake, but it can make people feel chilly.
What kind of role would such a person play in front of the queen
"Master, there are three pieces in total. I have brought them all for you."
While thinking about it, Bai Ji quickly picked up the pieces of clothes.
The three pieces are all for the beginning of spring, a rose purple robe with a collar and precious flowers, and two pomegranate red dresses embroidered with peach blossoms.
The material, even in dim light, is still dazzling.
Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and touched the fabric.
It is said that the raw materials for this fine brocade yarn have been carefully selected. There is nothing rough about the touch, and the water-slippery feeling is actually a bit softer than human skin.
With such good ingredients, no wonder the royal family members like it.
However, if what Yun Ruo was wearing was really given to her by Concubine De. The tailor in the mansion must have remembered it.
"Bai Shao, ask the tailor in the mansion. Is what Yun Ruo is wearing really given to her by Empress De Fei? Bai Shao, ask the servants in Yaxuan, have they ever seen De Concubine? Madam, where did you put those five pieces of fine brocade? Have you taken them out?"
Lin Mengya had a hunch that this Yunruo was definitely not simple.
Even if it was really someone close to the Queen, she was sure that he was not an ordinary character.
Let me ask you, if the queen revealed the true and false concubine to him that night, it was not actually a helpless move to calm down the war.
Na Yunruo's disappearance can only mean two things.
The first thing is that Yun Ruo is someone close to the Queen. The Queen now feels that since Lin Mengya already knows the truth. Sooner or later, Long Tianyu will know the truth.
Therefore, as a member of the queen's side, Yunruo would of course go back home. Or, be erased from this world.
Of course, this is the best result.
But the second thing made Lin Mengya a little uneasy.
That is, in fact, the queen made these real and fake concubines. Not just to contain Long Tianyu, but for another purpose.
For example, what do you want to get—
So at this moment, does Yunruo's disappearance mean that the queen has succeeded
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya suddenly became restless.
However, she soon calmed down.
Long Tianyu is not a fool. If Yunruo is really coming for him, he will definitely notice it.
Concubine De has been in the palace for so long, and she has nothing to hide.
Maybe, she just thinks too much!
