There was something in the eldest lady's words. When Lin Mengya wanted to ask more questions, it was because she had already arrived at the small courtyard where they had been hiding.
Under the cover of Bai Su and the eldest palace maid, the two people quickly returned to the small courtyard.
Although it was freezing cold outside, the two little palace ladies slept peacefully because of Lin Mengya's cotton coat and cloak.
Although he had rolled in the snow before, in His Majesty's house, the cotton-padded jacket had also been smoked dry by the charcoal fire.
Bai Su untied the acupuncture points of the two girls, calmed the two panicked girls for a few words, told them not to make any noise, and escorted them away secretly.
That white cloak is an excellent protective color on the snow.
Lin Mengya carefully hid in the corner. On her chest was the secret decree given to her by Emperor Jin Yuan, but in her mind, she was thinking about the words of the eldest palace maid.
For some reason, she always felt that the extraordinary palace maid would meet her again.
There were slight footsteps nearby, and Lin Mengya immediately hid in a corner alertly. It was not until she saw Bai Su who was leaving and returning that she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have everyone been sent back?"
Bai Su nodded, the two little palace maids were quite clever.
And by the time they arrived at the imperial dining room, the palace maid had already arranged everything quietly, leaving no one suspicious.
"That sister said that although the prince has sealed off the palace, there are so many people in the palace who still need to eat and drink. Moreover, the prince has specifically told us that besides the middle palace, we are the only ones in the Ningqing Palace, and we must give preferential treatment."
Hearing this, Lin Mengya just raised her lips.
The prince has a big dream in his heart, but his courage is really not big enough.
I'm afraid I really believed her nonsense. As the saying goes, like father, like son.
This father and son are both the same. They think they are smart and think they can figure out everyone's thoughts clearly.
As everyone knows, the most difficult thing to grasp in the world is the human heart.
He returned to Ningqing Palace without anyone noticing. As soon as he entered the room, Imperial Concubine Dehui walked over quickly.
He took Lin Mengya's cold little hand and looked up and down worriedly.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me? There's so much war and chaos outside, how can I hurt you?"
The imperial concubine's face was a little pale. The charcoal was burning brightly in the room, but it wasn't cold at all. It was probably because she was worried about her.
Lin Mengya smiled, a bit apologetic on her face.
"Mother and concubine are worried, but for us, this palace is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. But during the time I was out, has anyone come to the door?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took each other to the inner hall. Except for Aunt Jinyue who was making tea, there was no trace of anyone else inside.
Presumably, like the people brought by Lin Mengya, they were hiding in secret for protection.
In fact, in addition to the inner hall, other rooms in Ningqing Hall are also equipped with charcoal basins.
This will not freeze them, and it will also make it easier for these people to hide on the spot.
Lin Mengya cherishes her own power very much. She can't do that kind of thing that hurts the enemy a thousand times and damages herself eight hundred.
"Who else is here? By the way, how is the situation in other palaces? Especially Concubine Xian, she is like us, and the Queen is the most difficult to deal with. Now I am only afraid that she will be poisoned."
Imperial Concubine Dehui frowned, her affectionate but also deeply worried.
She had received hints from these two children before, so she was prepared.
But in order to ensure the safety of the plan, she did not inform others.
"The prince should not touch anyone for the time being. The outcome has not yet been determined. Most of the people involved now are the prince and the prince's people. If the prince dares to wantonly massacre everyone in the harem, then the whole country will be his enemy. He cannot hold this throne. secure."
From the prince's attitude towards her and His Majesty, Lin Mengya had already seen something about it.
The prince wanted to force him into the palace, but he also wanted to be justified.
Because he is the prince, at least in his own heart, the next emperor must be him.
So if he gets to that position sooner or later, no one will object strongly.
What's more, now, there are still 'those people' who are secretly watching.
They were very smart in their calculations, and it was just a matter of their own, the Long family.
As long as whoever wins in the end is the orthodoxy, they will recognize whoever they are.
Sure enough, people are old and cunning, and their habit of not letting go of hawks when they see rabbits has not changed at all.
"That's good, that's good. I don't know what's going on with Yu'er, but I hope he and Qing Han are safe and sound."
After receiving Lin Mengya's words, Imperial Concubine Dehui felt at ease.
Sitting on the couch, I kept reciting Buddhist scriptures silently.
Before I knew it, it was getting late.
Lin Mengya had nothing to do for the time being. She could only sit on the edge of the bed and look at everything outside.
The snow was still falling very hard, and there was already half a person's height of snow under the window.
Hopefully, God will fulfill your wishes.
"This damn weather, I don't know when it will end."
There is a house only a few miles away from the palace. It is not known which master's mansion it is, but it has been temporarily requisitioned by Long Tianyu and the others.
The door and outer wall were broken open, and soldiers in red light armor kept coming and going.
The huge courtyard now looks like a bandit's den.
Long Qinghan, wearing dark red armor, leaned against the short wall and cursed angrily.
"Just be content. If it weren't for the fortifications dropped from the sky, do you think the reinforcements placed outside by the prince would have been delayed in arriving?"
Qinghu, who was also wearing armor, couldn't help but roll his eyes at the guy.
He had changed out of the long robes he was used to wearing, and his slim appearance, even when he was wearing armor, still exuded a unique and romantic temperament.
But it doesn't make people think that a boy looks like a girl, but it has a cold and intimidating effect.
He didn't have the slightest good impression of the men of the Long family.
It was only because of his relationship with the girl that he had no choice but to obey Long Tianyu's words.
As for others, there is no door.
"Tsk, I'm just sighing. It's weird for you. Let me tell you, you always have ten or eight words to contradict me. Believe it or not, I will tell my third sister-in-law and let her educate you."
Long Qinghan, who was wearing armor, was actually just speaking harshly, and his usual noble-like appearance had long since disappeared.
Although the armor is useful, it is not light.
After a day of fighting, his physical strength was already severely exhausted.
That handsome face with a flying figure now has dark circles under his eyes and looks quite haggard.
The reason why he insists on standing in the snow instead of going inside and gathering around the heater is because he is afraid that once he relaxes, his chance to fight will be delayed.
Because now, this battle for the inheritance has just begun.
"Don't forget, your third sister-in-law is my biological sister."
Qinghu bared his teeth, and those bright white teeth made Long Qinghan couldn't help but shudder.
"Is your injury okay? Don't die and make my girl a widow." Qinghu, who had won the verbal battle, walked into the house and said coldly.
The doors in the mansion were also wide open, and there was only one man in bright clothes, sitting at the top.
The bright red armor was bright, like a raging fire burning on the snow.
No matter what kind of darkness and coldness, it can be burned invisible by him.
The man's facial features are handsome and cold, and even though his face is pale, he will not be underestimated easily.
Especially those pair of black eyes, as deep as a deep pool, always make people surrender to him unconsciously.
He raised his eyes and gave Qinghu a faint look.
The latter had to exit the lobby no matter how reluctant he was.
"It's okay, don't tell her about this."
Long Tianyu's voice was low and hoarse. In order to make the scene more realistic, he was slightly injured.
But they have avoided the critical point, and now there is no serious problem.
Holding letters from other princes in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light.
It seems that Ya'er's expectation is good, these people don't have any good intentions.
I'm afraid that as soon as they break into the palace, someone will rush into his father's study, force him to write an imperial edict to abdicate, and then start a new round of fighting.
This would be meaningless to him.
Therefore, he had to wait for a sure chance.
"I sent a letter back to several princes, saying that my troops have been fighting for a day and a night and are really exhausted and have to rest. If they want to attack first, then they are welcome."
Long Tianyu didn't care at all and threw those high-sounding letters into the brazier.
There was a moment of mockery in his eyes, and he watched the orange flames swallow up the falsehoods without showing any regret at all.
Previously, the prince's men were coming with great force, and most of the battles were fought by his men.
Those princes were either late in arriving, or they did not have enough soldiers, so they could only hold the battle from behind.
Now that the prince's limelight has been thwarted, he cowers in the palace and dare not come out.
They started gearing up like this and wanted to use him as a sword.
Do you think he is a fool
"yes."
Following him was still Lin Kui, but at this time he also changed into the attire of a guard.
He was originally from the military, but now his armor fits better than anyone else.
But Kyoto is already devastated because of this civil strife.
Many people didn't have time to escape, and now they can only huddle in a relatively safe place, waiting for the final result.
Fortunately, the princess had made preparations in advance and arranged many residences on the outskirts of Beijing near the palace.
Those courtyards are spacious and inconspicuous. The most amazing thing is that the courtyards and houses have been hollowed out.
The secret room underground can hide many people.
Therefore, they had evacuated many homes near the palace a few days before the incident.
Unexpectedly, the princess is not only resourceful, but also thoughtful about these things.
Those of them who knew the inside story all admired and marveled at the princess's kindness.
It seems that the prince is the smartest person. In the vast sea of people, only the prince can discern pearls, so he identified the princess.
With this thought in his mind, his footsteps kept moving.
He ordered a few messengers to go to each house with letters to report back. Just as he was about to go back to resume his duties, he was stopped by a voice behind him.
