With a 'pop' sound, Lin Mengya felt her cheeks burning with pain.
This queen must have really hated herself enough to teach her a lesson in person.
To be honest, she didn't have a good impression of this queen who was neither smart nor kind and tolerant.
If he hadn't lured her out personally, he wouldn't have performed this scene.
"Little bitch, everyone who came out of Feng Yuyuan is indeed a fox. If I scratched your little face, that little bitch would definitely feel distressed. I heard that you learned from him from They were found by the people. Both he and the king were deceived by you vixens!"
Suddenly, an extremely sharp golden hairpin appeared in the Queen's hand.
There was madness in her eyes, even though the hand she was holding Jin Chai had already been cut with blood marks by the sharp gold leaves on it, and bright red blood flowed down from her snow-white wrist.
Lin Mengya looked at Jin Chai who was getting closer and closer, but there was no trace of panic in her heart.
He suddenly stood up and knocked down the people around him. Amid the Queen's screams, Lin Mengya quickly jumped into the pool.
The slightly cold water immediately poured into her mouth and nose. The air in her lungs became thinner and thinner, but her tied hands and feet could not use any strength.
Bai Su will definitely come down to save her, but it must be later.
Through the water, she heard someone shouting and finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain.
The sad feeling of being suffocated by lack of oxygen made her gradually lose her original calmness.
The time she calculated will definitely not be wrong, but if Bai Su is entangled by someone, will she drown
The complicated thoughts in my mind were gradually replaced by pain.
Just when Lin Mengya couldn't bear it anymore, a pair of hands pulled her out of the pool.
"Cough cough cough cough cough"
Breathing in large gulps of air, Lin Mengya once again realized the meaning of surviving a disaster.
No wonder water ghosts always have the heaviest resentment in various ghost stories.
No ghost would be able to endure such pain before death.
"Miss, miss!"
Bai Su's anxious face appeared in her sight.
However, Lin Mengya, who was choked by water and coughed repeatedly, found it extremely difficult to answer.
He shook his hand to indicate that Bai Su was fine.
Turning around, I saw an unfamiliar face.
"This is the king's bodyguard. He saved the young lady."
Bai Su gently explained in Lin Mengya's ear that he was actually the guard beside the king.
His slow brain didn't react until the guard quietly disappeared from his sight.
The king's bodyguard actually saved him one step ahead of Bai Su.
Doesn't it mean that the king and himself actually have the same plan
Lin Mengya was on the verge of tears. She was almost about to lose her beauty and be buried under the water.
In fact, the king also had this plan. But because she was faster, she was pushed along by the king
She was dumbfounded and was supported by Bai Su back to Feng Yuyuan. It seemed that in the future, her habit of leading by example could be changed.
She almost forgot how scheming that king was.
How could Xiao Jiujiu hide this idea she could think of from the king
"Don't worry, young lady, the queen can't shirk it anymore this time."
Bai Su said angrily that in order to trap the eldest queen, her young lady personally went into battle and used a bitter trick to achieve success.
God knows that when she saw the young lady jumping into the pool with her hands tied, her heart skipped a beat.
Fortunately, the guard arrived in time and the young lady was safe and sound.
Otherwise, she would have killed those scourges first and then committed suicide to apologize.
"Of course. To catch a thief, you need to catch the stolen goods, and to catch an adulterer, you need to catch both. In the past, the queen could push them all out, but now, both the stolen goods and the stolen goods are taken away. I see how she can escape the blame."
This time the Queen was punished for several crimes. Not only did she disobey the King's will and leave the Linqiu Pavilion without permission, she also intended to kill her to silence her.
When the time comes, she wants to see how this queen will explain to the king!
In the east hall where the king handled government affairs, Lin Mengya knelt on the ground respectfully, looking like a resigned dog.
In addition to her, Mrs. Jingrou and everyone around the Queen are also here.
Madam Jingrou sat quietly beside the king, her eyes occasionally falling on Lin Mengya and occasionally on the queen.
Although she was already the winner of this battle, years of cultivation and patience prevented her from showing the smug look of a winner.
At this point, it is enough to see that Madam Jingrou's skill is much deeper than that of the Queen.
"What's going on? Yunsheng, tell me."
The king still wore a silver-white mask, but the color now was much better than before.
His gaze passed coldly across the queen, and finally fell on Lin Mengya's head.
A touch of appreciation passed by unintentionally, but no one noticed it.
"Back to the king, Yun Sheng was ordered to patrol the palace. Unexpectedly, he found the empress of Linqiu Pavilion on the north side of the garden, intending to drown He Lan, a member of Feng Yuyuan Palace. When his subordinates arrived, they rescued the person. . Other things, my subordinates don’t know.”
Yunsheng was the one who rescued Lin Mengya from the pool.
As expected of someone who is close to the king, he speaks flawlessly and clearly distinguishes what should be said and what should not be said.
"Oh? There is such a thing, Helan, please tell me."
The king was flipping through a book on the case casually, but no one in the main hall dared to say anything.
Lin Mengya immediately saluted and raised her pretty face, with tears in her eyes but not falling. She felt aggrieved but not pretentious. As expected, she had become a good actress after acting too much.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this servant is really unjust. In the morning, I followed my wife's order to go to Linqiu Pavilion to take care of me. I don't know where I bumped into the empress, and she actually wanted to cause this misfortune. I also ask your Majesty to be more careful and take care of me. Call the shots.”
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by the somewhat crazy queen.
"You're talking nonsense! Your Majesty, she, a little bitch, actually insulted me! I have served in the palace for so many years, how could I let her, a little bitch, insult me? According to the rules in the palace, it should be her, Executed to death by Lingchi!"
Such a sinister tone and such a vicious purpose.
Lin Mengya glanced at the Queen and saw her face was twisted and her eyes were filled with crazy hatred.
The Queen is indeed qualified to hate and to be crazy.
However, it can only bring about complete destruction.
"Helan and the following offenders should indeed be punished. But Yao Lu, have you forgotten my will?"
The first half of the sentence ignited the queen's hope.
But the second half of the sentence made her hit rock bottom again in an instant.
"Mrs. Yao..., according to the king's decree, you do not have any title now, and your rank is not yet clear, so you are not yet the empress in the palace. But this girl Helan, she is beside Mrs. Jingrou. A third-grade female officer. Madam, did you remember it wrong?"
A chamberlain standing next to the king spoke slowly and clearly.
The queen was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Only now did she understand the situation in front of her.
That man really had no affection for her at all.
"Haha... Hahaha... Wanyan Ziyang, you and I have been married for thirty years, but I have never seen through your heart."
Yao Lu smiled, extremely sad.
After all, she is also a poor woman.
Because of the power of the Yao family, they thought they could have everything.
However, I fell in love with the person who I should least love.
In the east hall, all the irrelevant people retreated silently.
In fact, Lin Mengya also wanted to follow everyone, but every time she looked at Mrs. Jingrou, she saw in her eyes that she seemed to be begging her to stay.
Lin Mengya had never seen Madam with such a helpless look in her eyes.
He couldn't help but slow down his movements and stayed in the main hall.
Yao Lu collapsed on the ground, but despite this, her eyes were still glued to the king's body.
Maybe it's a mixture of love and hate. Who can forget someone so easily that they have tried their best to love
Lin Mengya understood that feeling, but the current outcome could only be regarded as Yao Lu's own fault.
The king was silent, but stopped turning the book in his hand.
There was no one else in the hall, and Lin Mengya relaxed a lot. She raised her head and secretly watched the king's actions.
After a moment of silence, the king put down the book in his hand, raised his hand, and actually took off half of the mask on his face.
A scar across the right side of his face, hideous and ugly.
Even Lin Mengya couldn't help but take a breath.
It will take several years for a scar like this to recover.
Looking at it like this, when he was injured, the bones must have been deeply visible.
Lin Mengya looked at Mrs. Jingrou inadvertently, but saw her watery eyes, which had been filled with tears for some time.
The heartache and sadness in it made Lin Mengya, an outsider, feel trembling in her heart.
The king moved his gaze to Mrs. Jingrou, and his cold black eyes softened.
He stretched out his fingers and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Rou'er, don't cry, I don't feel any pain anymore."
The low and lingering tone seemed to melt years of ice in an instant.
It was the first time that Lin Mengya saw the king be so gentle and cautious, as if he was protecting a rare treasure.
"How can it not hurt? For twenty years, every day, this scar has been cut on my heart. Yao Lu, I have never hated you. Even if my son was forced by you to become flesh and blood with our husband and wife. Even though we were separated, I never hated you. But why did you hurt him?"
Every word Mrs. Jingrou said was filled with hatred.
She rarely spoke so harshly, but from the moment the king took off the mask, Madam Jingrou seemed to be a different person.
Lin Mengya originally thought that what happened between Madam and the King back then was only vaguely related to Madam Hui.
Unexpectedly, the queen was also one of the parties involved.
