"Yes, we will abide by your order."
There was no way Lin Mengya could find out about Lu Yun's personality.
Zhu Aizhi, however, had been promoted because he received credit for taking down the bandits.
Lin Mengya exchanged looks with both of them while wearing a faint smile.
However, Zhu Aizhi appeared not to know Lin Mengya.
As Lin Mengya looked down, she smiled to herself.
"Your Highness the Queen, please allow me some time to make the necessary preparation. We may start the process of screening in a while."
The Queen nodded in response. Nevertheless, she instructed one of her maids to follow and watch Lin Mengya.
Back inside the room laid Madame Wang, who still looked as dead as before. There was totally no sign of life in her.
Lin Mengya could not afford to be distracted. His mind was working hard and fast.
Although Madame Wang was as good as
After Baiji wiped away her tears, there was a determined look in her eyes. She already had a plan in mind. If things did not work out, she would throw caution to the winds and own up as the culprit. At most, she would die, but she would be able to protect her master. "No, Baiji. You still have many siblings at home. If something happens to you, what will happen to them?" Baishao shook her head violently and her beautiful face was covered with tears from all the weeping. "Let me own up. My mother is a money face. She would not be bothered with her daughter as long as you give her a big sum of money. Please let me own up. I'll still want to be your maidservant in the life to come." Her maidservants volunteering to sacrifice themselves saddened Lin Mengya deeply. She had always felt that she was just a sojourner in this world. She did not expect that the seed which she plante
The old maid beside the Queen immediately pointed out that there indeed was a seal on the banknote. However, Baishao pulled out another banknote and smiled. "Have a look, everyone. This banknote I'm holding is one that is truly used in Prince Yu's Mansion. Every banknote used by the princess would bear this mark of her personal seal." Baishao presented both banknotes to the Queen, although from where the others could see, they appeared the same. However, at the bottom of the banknotes, only one of them bore the character marking of Prince Yu's Mansion. Apart from the mark of the seal, there was another rectangular character printed on it. "This does not say much since Princess Yu is handling so much wealth in the mansion. I suppose you wouldn't be using a slip of banknote that bears your seal when you try to bribe someone with it, lest you become a suspect in any crime." Princess Ming Yue maligned, a
In the midst of all people who were bowing down to her, the ever-elegant Queen walked out of the Liukin Courtyard victoriously. All the other guests hastened to follow the Queen out of this troublesome place. The supposedly bustling and lively riddle-guessing banquet had suddenly become quiet and lonely. "Alright, you may rise, Yu'er and Ya'er and follow me. Jin Yue, watch Ruqin and don't let her go anywhere." The intelligent Concubine De had already figured out the ins and outs of what happened. As she glanced at her niece with a look of disappointment, a chill ran through her. She clearly saw that the banknote was the exact one she gave to Ruqin a few days ago as pocket money because she doted on her. Never would Concubine De expect that Jiang Ruqin would use it as a tool to frame Mengya. What was even more unexpected was that the girl had unknowingly sacrificed the enti
"Given that something so serious happened to his wife, he was surely going to hate us for this." Up until this moment, Lin Mengya could not guarantee that Madame Wang would wake up. Lin Mengya could not be sure if Madame Wang's wound turn septic, or if her operation was successful, or if Madame Wang was going to make it through this. These were things she could not foretell. "Wang Hanlin shared a deep and firm relationship with his wife. In fact, all these years the thought of taking in concubines never crossed his mind. He had always gone along with his wife's suggestions and wishes." None of the people with a high standing within the capital city escaped the eyes of Long Tianyu, who was aware of their every move. It was not surprising that Long Tianyu knew so much about Wang Hanlin. However, Lin Mengya still felt something was amiss. If the relationship between Wang Hanl
Lin Mengya could see from Baishao's expression that she had her reasons. She just smiled and stopped pursuing the matter. "Oh yes, Master, Madame Wang is still lying in the small room. Would she... would she really resurrect?" At the mention of Madame Wang, Baishao and Baisu's expression froze. Baizhi was the only one out of the four who was oblivious and was still happily eating. "I've no idea, but she cannot be left there any longer. Let me think of a place where we can resettle her." Baiji had claimed that the death-pretending drug had started to take effect. However, miraculously, Madame Wang was still breathing weakly. If not for Baisu's careful observation that made her realize that Madame Wang was breathing, they would not believe that she had risen from the dead. "But Master, why don't you send Madame Wang home?" Baiji shot a glance at L
"Mother, I don't agree with you." The Crown Prince didn't agree on the Empress's opinion. In his view, he could have done perfectly in Prince Yu's Mansion. Unexpectedly, the Empress refused his request to Princess Yu's Liuxin Courtyard. If he had been there, he could have led Princess Yu to plead guilty, no matter how many excuses Princess Yu could make. 'Idiot!' The Empress silently shouted. Her fierce phoenix eyes let out a cold light. He was the Crown Prince, who was destined to govern Dajin, as well as the rest of the world. However, such a worthless thing he was! How could he get involved in women's things? How could he rule over the whole empire in such a way!? "Oh? Tell me. What have you planned to lead Princess Yu into confessing on her own?" The Crown Prince had been trying out his own power, after becoming an adult. A little feeling of
"Oh, teacher, what do you want the jade box for? For nest eggs?" Lin Mengya gradually reached a conclusion from her contacts with Baili Rui: that fuddy-duddy needed to be treated with unusual means. Especially that daring way, making no difference between the old man and her, got them much closer. Baili Rui rolled his eyes at Lin Mengya. Although she seemed to not respect him, Lin Mengya was really a genius in poisoning. She was even more talented than his senior brother known as the God of Poison. He had been a loser when competing with his senior. If his student defeated his senior, his long-cherished wish would be fulfilled. "It is Dragon Soul Grass. I've checked it. This woman may be able to survive, but she is still too weak in health. If I really bring her back to life through poisoning, her body may be not bear it. But Dragon Soul Grass is different. It's said that it has an effe
Lin Mengya was grounded, but sooner or later, she would be set free. Imperial guards outside her room had been drawn back. The Empress and the Crown Prince seemed to have done nothing to her. Or maybe they were secretly planning something else. In Prince Yu's Mansion, Lin Mengya was allowed to go anywhere. Even the study room, which no one other than Long Tianyu, was allowed to go into, was not a forbidden zone for Lin Mengya. "Where is the Prince?" Long Tianyu was absent. Lin Mengya felt that a little unexpected. Long Tianyu would often address affairs in his study room every afternoon. "Your Highness, the seventh prince asked the Prince out. He said they had something to deal with." Steward Deng, who was following behind Lin Mengya, responded that. "Okay, I see." Long Qinghan had not gone there in recent days. He must have been a
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
