However, Lin Mengya gave a thoughtful smile and said to Fanglan, "What do you think? Now, there are only three of us here. I'd like to hear it from you, and let this innocent little girl learn from you."
Although she said this, intelligent Fanglan could more or less understand that maybe the princess was testing her.
Then she managed to make herself calm down and also smoothed out all the clues in her mind before saying slowly, "I been in the palace since childhood. Although I haven't served in the masters' palaces, I've heard some things more or less. Five years ago, there was an outbreak of a plague in the palace. With my own eyes, I've seen that the belongings of those servants who got the plague were disposed of in this same way."
Lin Mengya nodded and had a better feeling for Fanglan in her heart.
Not only was she calm, sensible, bold, and careful, she was also well-mannered. Maybe there was more to her than she had ever disco
Things came out as Lin Mengya expected. There was not even a single palace maid or eunuch around her courtyard, let alone the spies from the different palaces. In the past, no matter how late it was, she could see people wandering outside her courtyard. Now it seemed that the mastermind behind this was very sure that she could not escape, even if she was left alone. Lin Mengya and Baisu was very familiar with the path leading to the Servants Administration. Therefore, after a short while, they arrived at the courtyard which people of the Servants Administration had specially prepared for spare palace maids like them. However, as soon as they reached the gate, they smelt something like burning wood. "Gee! Master, look!" Baisu suddenly jumped in front of Lin Mengya spontaneously, to protect her. In the direction where Baisu was pointing at, Lin Mengya saw thick smoke rising from a small courtyard, not
"You mean Yu Qiang was once a military man? No wonder I have always felt that he was not that simple a character. He gives the impression that he is not merely a civilian official, more like a general." Lin Mengya had felt that Yu Qiang looked familiar, when she first met him. Now she remembered that her father's colleagues whom she had seen at home, had the same traits as Yu Qiang. Lin Mengya suddenly understood something. Now she knew why her father had not tried his best to argue with the empress, even after knowing that she had been locked up in the imperial palace. However, Lin Mengya was worried that their enemies might have found out about the relationship between Yu Qiang and her father, and that was why Senior Yu was in danger today. The situation was critical. Although Yu Qiang was a martial arts master, he was too old and his energy was running out. Skillful martial art practitioners did not have to fight long to def
Yu Qiang glanced at them, then only shook his head calmly. "You'd better put out the fire first. Although I'm old, it's not that easy for me to die." Those eunuchs wanted to say something, but when they saw the corpses of the men in black on the ground, their eyes widened in shock. When they saw that, it was like seeing something that was taboo in the imperial palace, and their faces immediately turned pale. "Mr. Yu, we—" Fortunately, there were not so many people present. Yu Qiang turned around and said, "Remember, I did not see you in my courtyard tonight." Hearing that, all the eunuchs rushed out of Yu Qiang's courtyard hurriedly, as if they had been granted an amnesty. Yu Qiang also heaved a sigh of relief. He supported himself against the wall, and could not help breathing heavily. "Senior, let's leave this place now." A pair of small hands
Lin Mengya was filled with suspicions now. While she was a trance, she thought a lot. According to the rules, the empress, princesses, princes, and the emperor's brothers should take care of the emperor at the imperial palace when he was critically ill. Even if it was unnecessary, the Servants Administration should prepare the coffin and the shroud in advance in case of the sudden death of the emperor. Besides, it was said that such things could expel the bad luck from the patient. Moreover, once the emperor died, the Crown Prince would succeed to the throne rightfully, so he had no reason to hide the news from others that the emperor was dying or to not even prepare for the funeral. There had to be some skeletons in the closet! However, Lin Mengya and the others could not find any clue now. "But I found something strange," Yu Qiang said with a frown. Seeing Lin Mengya's s
Every time the imperial physicians on duty came back to the Court of Imperial Physicians, they would write down all the details of the emperor's condition. For example, his pulse rate, what medicine he had taken and at what time, the size of his meal, and so on. Uncle Yu had told her that the emperor was extremely weak now, but according to the report from Su Tong and other imperial physicians, his pulse rate was normal. If these imperial physicians had hidden the truth from her on purpose, they would be exposed soon. Looking at Lin Mengya, Su Tong intended to sound her out. After all, he was not sure how much she had known about the emperor's status. "It's inappropriate. Princess Yu, I'm not doubting your medical skills, but since it's a matter of great importance, we should think it over before we act." Lin Mengya looked at Su Tong, half-smiling. "Hmph! What a loyal and patriotic offi
Qiu Yu's calmness and orderliness reminded Lin Mengya of someone. There were so many undiscovered talents in the imperial palace! A seemingly useless chief of the Servants Administration had been a powerful general years ago. Then what was this eclectic imperial physician's real identity? After solving all the problems, Qiu Yu looked back and saw Lin Mengya watching him curiously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with me?" Qiu Yu looked at himself. To his relief, he didn't see what was wrong with him. Lin Mengya only shook her head with a smile. They both were smart and they knew that it would be in vain to ask a person who didn't want to answer. If they wanted to know the answer, they had to wait until that person was willing to speak. "I'm just wondering why the servants here are so obedient to you. Doctor Qiu, it seems you're more talented than an imperia
It was still not too late. Although she had already broken down barriers, it was still not the right time to point it out. Especially when the situation in the palace was still unclear, Lin Mengya was uncertain about what her enemy would do next. "I'll write you a prescription. You can't feed His Majesty any medicine now. You should let him bathe in the medicine. The hotter the better, so that the toxins inside his body can be removed." Lin Mengya's method of healing took effect slowly but steadily. It worked well for the Emperor. However, the toxins in the body of the Emperor could not be totally removed until he had at least regained fifty percent of his health. Luckily, Qiu Yu and other servants serving the Emperor, were all loyal to him. Otherwise, the Emperor's body would not have been able to bear the power of the cure, even when Lin Mengya suggested detoxification. "Okay, I see.
"Well, we've done everything, but still failed to heal His Majesty. Your Highness, had it not been for you and the fact that you specially came to Tai Hospital to observe the situation, outsiders might think that we have not done our best." Since Lin Mengya had failed to find any clues to the Emperor's illness, Su Tong pretended to be distressed, too. In this way, he would be not suspected of delaying the Emperor's recovery. "Doctor Su, thank you, but I came here to treat His Majesty, because of Prince Yu. After all, he misses His Majesty very much." Lin Mengya did not want to have anything more to do with them, so she put the case history in order, after glancing at Su Tong. But after she filed the case history, there were still some nagging doubts in her heart. It must be Xiaofeng who took away the actual records. However, he was already dead and Lin Mengya was not in the right position to ask abou
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
