"Your brother? No wonder, he is a ghostly little monkey like you. I am unlucky to meet your family."
Qinghu didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. He sat on the chair and looked at Lin Mengya with a smile.
"Tell me, what are you doing here? You're not here to catch up with me, are you?"
After several contacts with Qinghu, I realized that he was not as cold and heartless as he seemed on the surface.
After all, not everyone can maintain their true nature under such inhuman torture.
I believe that if I cure Qing Hu in the future, although he cannot be said to be a good person, he will be able to control his temper.
"I'm here because someone paid a lot of money to let me come to your house and steal something."
Lin Mengya turned her eyes and looked at the smiling guy in front of her.
"When did you change your career to a thief?"
Lin Mengya looked at her with a look of disdain, and she was as thick-skinned as a fox, so she couldn't help but change her expression.
"What's that look in your eyes! I didn't do it for you, but I let you go last time, so the other party changed his mind. You little heartless boy, I suffered a lot for you!"
Suddenly, Lin Mengya got goosebumps all over her body. How could this guy be so ungrateful
However, she had to believe it.
It is said that Taohuawu has strict discipline, and even he, the young master, is not easy to do.
"By the way, what did you come to steal?"
After soothing Lin Zhongyu's tense body, Lin Mengya knew that Qinghu would not hurt her.
"What I came to steal was an imperial edict."
Imperial decree? Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. This thing seems useless, right
"Actually, it's not just your family. I've gone to all the houses in the capital that have received favor from the emperor. I just found nothing. However, I'm very curious. Where do you hide the imperial edict? No matter how I look for it, I can't find it. Woolen cloth?"
He asked seemingly casually, but Lin Mengya gave him a sneer.
"If you want to get it out of me, there's no way!"
Lin Mengya didn't give him any chance and immediately refused decisively.
Qinghu took a look and saw that there was no chance to touch him. With a glance at his mouth, he disappeared into Lin Mengya's house.
This guy was obviously here to deliver a message and sell himself a favor, so why did he become so unruly when it came to his mouth
"Sister, tell me, what do those people want from the imperial edict?"
Lin Mengya also frowned. The imperial edict was said to be useful, but it was also useful. It's useless to say it's useless.
However, the emperor's health has not been as good as before in recent years, and most of the decrees are signed by the empress's phoenix seal.
wrong!
The original decree to confer her as Princess Yu was sealed with the emperor's imperial seal. Could it be—
"Xiaoyu, go and play with Bai Zhi and the others. My sister has to go out!"
Lin Mengya hurriedly ran outside Long Tianyu's study. The guards all knew Lin Mengya, so naturally they would not stop her.
However, she didn't expect that Long Tianyu was not in the house.
"Where has the prince gone?" Lin Mengya looked at Butler Deng with anxious eyes.
"The prince is out on business, and only Lin Kui is following him."
Butler Deng looked at the princess in front of him in confusion, wondering what could have caused her to be so flustered.
"When the prince comes back, ask him to go to Liuxinyuan to find me immediately. Remember, he must immediately!"
If things are really as she speculated, then all this can be explained.
That Guanyin was not to get rid of her, but to find a reason to imprison everyone in the palace.
The matter of breaking a Guanyin statue is neither small nor big.
All they need to do is ground them, repent, and then practice meditation for a few months.
However, during this period, countless changes will happen!
If Qinghu hadn't come to reveal the news to her, she wouldn't have guessed this.
"Aunt Jinyue, where is my mother and concubine?"
Jin Yue looked at the furious princess and replied hurriedly.
"Empress De Fei is resting. Is there anything wrong with the princess?"
Lin Mengya suddenly realized that these were all his guesses, and he had no evidence at all.
"I-it's okay, I just came here to say hello to my mother-in-law. Since my mother-in-law is still sleeping peacefully, I will go back first."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Jingyue walked out of the main hall of Yaxuan
"Princess, Concubine De has invited you—"
Oops, why did you wake up Empress Dowager De
"yes."
Lin Mengya regained her composure and followed Jingyue into Concubine De's house.
"What's the matter? You're here in such a hurry to come to Yaxuan."
Concubine De, who had just taken a nap, had slightly disheveled hair, a lazy look, and a somewhat tired look.
Lin Mengya's heart moved slightly, but a cute smile appeared on her face.
"Ya'er came to disturb the mother-in-law. Firstly, she came to pay her respects. Secondly, it was about the mother-in-law's birthday. It was the first time for Ya'er to attend to her mother's birthday. She was afraid that if there was anything she did not do enough, she would cause trouble. The mother-in-law is angry!"
Lin Mengya said softly, a small mouth makes people feel happy.
Concubine De looked at this girl, and her frown relaxed slightly.
"Well, you're interested. If anything happens, just discuss it with your Aunt Jinyue. I've been very tired these days, so I won't bother with you young people."
Empress De Fei rubbed her brows, but Lin Mengya could see that this was probably not a daily problem.
"Concubine, when Ya'er is at home, she often rubs my father's shoulders, which may alleviate Concubine's illness."
Concubine De waved her hand and refused.
"I have been treated by many imperial doctors for this disease, but to no avail. How can you, a girl, know anything about it? Go ahead."
"yes."
Lin Mengya retreated obediently. Why did she always feel that Concubine De's stubborn illness was so strange
For ten days in a row, Long Tianyu happened to be away from the house.
Lin Mengya was extremely anxious, but she had to organize the birthday celebration for Empress Dowager De.
"Princess, this is the golden silk thread used on my birthday. Please take a look at it."
"Princess, these are the dishes for the banquet that the kitchen will use that day. Please take a look."
"Princess, this is the guest list for the day. Please take a look."
Lin Mengya was completely entangled in these things.
Celebrating the concubine's birthday was originally a matter for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But the queen passed down the message that since Concubine De has moved into the palace, these matters should also be handled by the palace.
However, I never thought that these things would be so troublesome.
You can't lose the face of the palace and don't talk about it. You have to take care of all aspects. This is really very busy for Lin Mengya.
After thinking about it, she couldn't waste her precious time on this.
"I called everyone here today to break down the work."
Early in the morning, Lin Mengya called the maids, women and managers in the mansion to come to Liuxinyuan for training.
"From now on, any questions about the decoration of knitted women's red will be answered to Mrs. Liu first, and then to Bai Ji. If Bai Ji doesn't like it, then ask me again."
"The guest list and return gifts will be sent back to Butler Deng first. If Butler Deng can't handle it, they will come back to me. As for other chores, they have been sorted out. Just go back to Bai Shao."
Everyone immediately bowed their heads and listened to the instruction.
I thought that this new master was young and might fish in troubled waters.
Unexpectedly, no mistakes were made in the past few days, and now it is even more orderly.
"Yes, I will obey the orders of the princess!"
Even so, Lin Mengya still felt uncomfortable.
The steward that day had already been arrested by her, and before she could be tortured, he spit out the truth as if he were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
It turned out that an unfamiliar guard bribed him, saying that he and a girl in the mansion had a private life-long contract.
But that girl has made a death pact.
I had no choice but to make this stupid move. If I could find any clues, I would drive the girl out.
Seeing that the woman was so confused, she dared to search the princess's house, which frightened the person in charge.
Just as he was about to pack up his things and run away, he was caught by Butler Deng.
"What about the mother-in-law?"
Lin Mengya suddenly felt that how could that woman be so bold and even dare to enter the master's house.
"Reply to the princess, that woman committed suicide by throwing herself into a well."
"What?!"
Lin Mengya didn't expect that this woman would die like this!
"Bring that woman's body over here, I want to conduct an autopsy myself!"
Butler Deng was shocked. He didn't expect that the princess would want to conduct an autopsy in person!
"But, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? After all, the corpse is unlucky. It would be unlucky if it interferes with the birthday of Empress Dowager De."
Lin Mengya looked at Butler Deng, but she didn't expect him to be so feudal.
"That's fine. You go find an abandoned ice cellar and preserve the woman's body. I will conduct an autopsy in the future."
Butler Deng nodded in agreement and then went to do his own business.
"Miss, you see, they both have their own things to do, so what is this slave doing?"
Unlike white peony root and white peony root, white peony root seems to be a normal person.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and really thought of a place to go.
"Your task is the most important. We still need someone with taste to taste the dishes in the kitchen. How about I leave this job to you?"
Bai Zhi, who had been in low spirits just now, was so happy that she almost jumped up.
"Miss, you know me best! Miss is the best!"
Lin Mengya pulled Bai Zhi to stop her from getting carried away.
"By the way, you go to the kitchen. I have one more thing that I need you to do. Can you help me check whether there is any pattern in the food that Concubine De takes in every day? Don't let anyone find you, okay? ?”
Bai Zhi nodded fiercely. She would work hard to do whatever the lady asked.
Besides, eating and drinking is her strong point!
"Go quickly. Bai Shao and the others will come together to give me a reply tonight."
Bai Zhi ran to the kitchen happily, while Lin Mengya was alone, but fell into deep thought.
All of this happened too fast. What is the connection
