Lin Mengya and Bai Zhi returned to the main room, lit a candle, and sat quietly on a chair reading.
Bai Zhi couldn't help but look around, and finally saw Bai Shao with an angry look on his face and Bai Ji with a frown on his face.
"What happened? Who poisoned Master Yu?"
Bai Zhi shook Bai Ji's arm anxiously, but the latter hesitated to speak.
"Master, Master Yu is doing this to protect you."
After just saying this, the impatient Bai Shao stopped talking.
"You're not that Miss Jiang, she's here to show off to your aunt. She accuses the lady regardless of her face. Young Master Yu couldn't get angry. He just said a few words to her, but she asked her subordinates to use canes to I beat Young Master Yu severely. If Grandma Sun hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect Young Master Yu, I'm afraid she wouldn't be like this now."
From the moment she entered the house, these three girls had watched Lin Mengya's every move.
Although she was a little harsh on her servants, she had clear rewards and punishments and would never wrong others easily. She treated servants like them with no distinction between high and low.
There are probably not many such mistresses in the entire Jin Dynasty, let alone them.
Therefore, they will do their best to protect this master.
And Master Yu was beaten and suffered because of this.
Suddenly, the three girls and Lin Zhongyu united the front and started to hate the same enemy.
Why didn't Lin Mengya understand that Xiaoyu was injured, and she felt more distressed than anyone else
A gleam of cold light flashed across those beautiful watery eyes. There was also a slight stern expression on that pretty face.
"How brave, how dare you touch the people in my yard. Bai Shao, go and call Butler Deng, and ask them to bring everyone who hurt Xiaoyu to Liuxinyuan tomorrow morning."
Lin Mengya's face was slightly cold. Jiang Ruqin was just showing off her power in Prince Yu's palace, but now she was so bold that she dared to touch the people in her yard!
Although, Lin Mengwu must have added fuel to the fire, and she had remembered this grudge.
When the time comes, they will settle their old and new grudges together!
In Long Tianyu's study, Butler Deng and Lin Kui appeared at Long Tianyu's desk without saying a word.
Long Tianyu's face was gloomy, his narrow eyes emitted a faint cold light of anger, and he looked coldly at the two bowls of tonic soup placed in front of the table.
The blue and white porcelain bowls are exactly the same, even the turbid dark yellow soup inside is exactly the same.
However, what others saw as a great tonic turned out to be a life-threatening poison in front of him.
Since he was a child, he could not eat those sea delicacies.
If he ate it, his throat would be red and swollen. If he didn't take the medicine prepared by the imperial doctor in time, he might suffocate to death.
Everyone in the palace knew about this, but the two women who were eager to gain prestige in front of him didn't pay any attention to it.
"threw."
The cold voice was filled with undisguised disgust.
What he hates the most is those women who just want to climb the branches and become phoenixes, using these false feelings to deceive themselves.
Although, he clearly knows that the most rare thing in the royal family is sincerity.
"Your Majesty, the princess wants to see you."
Outside the study, the respectful voices of the guards rang out, and for some reason, Long Tianyu's heart suddenly jumped up with anticipation.
"Let her in."
"yes."
Butler Deng and Lin Kui were both Long Tianyu's confidants.
Apart from the two of them, I am afraid that no one else in this mansion can gain Long Tianyu's trust.
But this weird princess is an anomaly. Not only is she a woman, she is able to gain the prince's favor.
It broke many precedents in the palace. Could it be said that—
The two of them looked at each other and read the same information in each other's eyes.
The woman whom the prince trusted and cultivated so much may be of great use in the future!
Based on the princess' appearance and scheming, I'm afraid she would be the best chess piece to be buried in the palace.
"My lord, haven't you gone to bed yet?"
Lin Mengya was wearing a moon-white gauze skirt, which looked even more pure and lovely in the night.
Her hair was draped behind her head, tied up with only ribbons of the same color. She didn't look domineering at all, but had a gentle and watery flavor.
Long Tianyu seemed to have expected her coming, and was not surprised at all. He nodded and continued to read the Art of War in his chair.
"This is the white fungus and lily soup I ordered the kitchen to make. It's perfect for a midnight snack. Why don't you, Your Majesty, take a break and try it?"
It was also a midnight snack. Although what Lin Mengya sent was the most ordinary Tremella lily soup, she still put some thought into it.
Long Tianyu nodded, put down the flying book in his hand, and silently drank the soup in the bowl.
"Your Majesty, I have something I want to discuss with you."
As the saying goes, people have short tongues, so every time Lin Mengya opens her mouth, she must first please the rightful owner.
Presumably, this sweet but not greasy white fungus soup had an effect, and Long Tianyu's face was not as ugly as before.
But the pale thin lips were still tightened intentionally or unintentionally, making the handsome face look a little more angry.
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and accidentally saw the two bowls on the table.
The corners of her mouth curved slightly, hehe, she thought it was someone who made the prince angry.
"Lin Mengwu said that she wanted to invite Mrs. Lin to stay in our palace for a while. I only said that she would ask the prince for permission, but she pressed hard, so in the middle of the night, I could only bother the prince. It’s quiet.”
When he returned home, Long Tianyu really saw the despicable tricks of the mother and daughter.
Not to mention coming to the palace to stay for a while, he would feel bored even if he met her.
Besides, Mrs. Lin is the Queen's biological sister. As for the mother-in-law, she is even more incompatible with the queen.
If such a scourge were allowed to enter the house, there would probably never be peace.
"I don't think this is appropriate."
The heroic brows furrowed slightly, and Long Tianyu looked at Lin Mengya in confusion.
Ordinarily, this girl should hate the mother and daughter more than she does. How could she take the initiative and ask herself to allow Mrs. Lin to enter the house
Is it possible that there is some article in this
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this. She is also my stepmother in name after all. If she wants to come to my son-in-law's house for a visit, there is nothing wrong with her. If Your Majesty is afraid of trouble, just arrange for her to stay in the small courtyard in the southwest corner of the mansion. It’ll be fine inside.”
Lin Mengya had a slight smile on her face, and she seemed like a considerate young lady.
Only Long Tianyu could not help but feel his heart beat a few times after seeing the sweet smile on her face.
What is this girl planning
"However, you have to ask the mother and concubine about this. Tomorrow, I will go with you to pay my respects to the mother and concubine, and then ask her for instructions. You go back first, I have to rest too."
Lowering his eyes, Long Tianyu's eyes were filled with doubts.
According to the information he obtained, Shangguan Qing had given Lin Mengya a lot of trouble over the years, both secretly and openly.
He didn't see the mother and daughter, but he felt that they were somewhat of enemies.
Outside the palace, he could do whatever she wanted, but it was related to the safety of the palace. And those hidden hidden stakes are still being screened.
If some people with ulterior motives sneak in at this time, it will be difficult to control.
"Yes, then I will take my leave first. Your Majesty, please rest early."
Lin Mengya bowed her knees and exited the study door obediently.
Seeing the moon-white figure disappear into the night, Butler Deng and Lin Kui looked at each other, but had no choice but to dissuade him.
"My lord, I'm afraid you should think twice before taking this matter. Mrs. Lin, the queen's sister, is afraid that she wants to come to our house, and she also comes with her own thoughts."
Butler Deng is responsible for the safety of the inner house, and of course he does not want anything to happen to the masters in the house.
But obviously, Long Tianyu had his own plans.
"You all see Mengya's style of doing things, right? It seems that the reason why she agreed to Lin Mengwu's request is because she has her own calculations in it. Let's not make any assumptions. There’s no need to discuss it any further.”
Long Tianyu finished the bowl of Tremella lily soup and announced his decision without any doubt.
He took off his black coat, wearing only his white tunic, and lay on the camp bed, but he still held the military book in his hand.
Deng and Lin had already knowingly exited the door of the study, and suddenly, he was the only one left in the room.
His eyes had no intention of falling on the art of war that he had read hundreds of times. Since when did I no longer be able to refuse Lin Mengya's request
"Ye, how's the situation in the dungeon these days?"
The breeze swept by, and a low voice called out a black figure hiding somewhere.
"Prince Qi, the five survivors couldn't help but beat and spit out their mouths. They are all elite soldiers in the army. They just received orders from their superiors and came to the palace to protect the small teahouse. The previous hauntings were also their fault. . However, our people who were ambushing in the ice cellar did not catch the disguise master. The man was very alert and ran away just after showing his head. Also, the Qinghu from Taohuawu refused to show up no matter how he was interrogated. Spit out. He also said that he must see the princess."
Qinghu didn't speak, as he had expected.
That night, not all of the people who lurked in the small courtyard were those who were pretending to be ghosts with Lin Mengya.
Ye led the secret guards to ambush the abandoned ice cellar in the small courtyard early in order to catch the disguised master.
If the disguise master is allowed to hide in the palace, trouble will happen sooner or later.
But, how can he find out the traitor
He rubbed his brows with his slender fingers. Before fighting against the outside world, one must first settle the inside. In the past, he was the only one in the house, so there were fewer people, so there were fewer things to do.
But now, there are so many people coming here, it would be very difficult to eliminate them one by one.
"From now on, everyone who goes out from the palace to do business must go together. Ye, you have the secret guards keeping a close eye on you. This person must be caught by me!"
If you dare to act wild in his palace, he wants to see who he is!
