The chill almost made Lin Mengya's pretend facial expression collapse.
In this critical moment, for some reason, Wanyan Jing stopped his actions.
"Looks like your eye trick is still as effective as ever."
It was not until Wanyan Jing withdrew the cold dagger that Lin Mengya realized that he was just testing her.
But she knew clearly that if she had made any mistake just now, the dagger would have taken her life without hesitation.
Having almost died, she had to admire the ability to stay calm, a quality that she had cultivated over the years.
"Of course. If I was useless, Your Highness would not recruit me at such a high price. Well, you can leave now. After you get back to Fengyu Court, you will forget what happened here."
The dual-pupiled man used his charming voice to instruct Lin Mengya. She restrained herself from losing her patience and like a real puppet, she stood up and walked
Xiaoyu would never hurt Lin Mengya. He would give up everything for Ya'er.Moreover, Xiaoyu was the one who told them about how the dragon bone could cure Ya'er.D*mmit! At the time, due to his anxiety, he'd missed out on many suspicious details.He gradually became overjoyed, but more importantly, he was still uncertain about this matter.If Xiaoyu really took Ya'er's body away secretly, there were only two possibilities.The dragon bone could not let Ya'er come back to life, and Xiaoyu lied to him and buried Ya'er after he left.As for the second possibility...Long Tianyu's hands were trembling with excitement. Perhaps Ya'er had come back to life!Hearing Long Tianyu's words, Hou Yuetian quickly walked out of the room to summon his men.After a long interrogation, he returned to the room and shared the information with Long Tianyu."My men did n
The High Priest's another visit made differences both inside and outside the imperial palace.Xiaoyu went out early and returned late every day, said to be assisting the Emperor to track down the "murder" who hunted down the priests.Lin Mengya knew better than anyone that they were unlikely to track down the "murder" in this life.She turned to look at the so-called information report containing numerous words on the desk.Showing a weird smile, she thought the wealth and power turned out to be built on a series of lies.When lies were related to the country, they became tactics.The best politicians were also the best liars.After seeing through the truth, she found politics was nothing more than this."You're here, Sister Helan! Madame wants to meet you!" There came Ningqiu's voice.She was in awe of Helan despite their close relationship.But s
With only their trusted servants left in the hall, Madame Jingrou pretended to mention it inadvertently, but her meaning was obvious.Lin Mengya pricked up her ears and came to Madame Jingrou's side meekly as the background."Yes, Li'er is young, but he is Eldest Brother's son after all. Besides, he is endowed with intelligence, and I can't compare with him." Xin Luan praised his nephew sincerely."Li'er is quite talented, but he is also a little impetuous and far less suitable for the position than you. I'm not sure if his succeeding to the position of the High Priest will be a blessing or a curse," Madame Jingrou said.After that, the two of them sank into silence.After a long while, Xin Luan finally let out a long sigh and seemed to have let his guard down."Fortunately, you escaped from the Xin Family back then. Otherwise, you would have been plunged into the abyss of misery like me. Sis, since
"Sister, I have to go back to my place to attend to some business, so I'm leaving now." As Madame Jingrou said, she proudly left unscathed in a both elegant and poised manner under the gaze of the others struck dumb with astonishment.Not to mention the Empress and the others, even Lin Mengya was taken aback by this.A docile sheep suddenly turned into a tough tigress, which was quite a sudden change.Coming out of the Linqiu Pavilion, Madame Jingrou seemed to be relieved.After glancing at Lin Mengya with a bitter smile, she went limp."Madame!" Lin Mengya and Ningqiu cried in low voices and immediately went forward to help Madame Jingrou up.It was only then that Lin Mengya realized that Madame Jingrou's palms had been sweaty."It's alright. After all these years, I've truly forgotten about what happened before," Madame Jingrou said with a smile.Lin Mengya thought that s
Lin Mengya did not doubt that the Eldest Prince had planted some spies in the imperial palace, but it was quite difficult to find them all out.Nevertheless, since this palace maid had shown up, she would definitely make contact with the other spies.It was impossible for the palace maid to perform her tasks without leaving any trace, and Lin Mengya believed the traces the palace maid left would definitely lead her to a lot of the other spies.No matter if she could track down significant or insignificant spies, it was better than running around like a chicken with its head cut off.Lin Mengya tried to breath steadily and not to show any signs of panic.Fortunately, the empty courtyard, where she had almost been hypnotized last time, was not far away."I've brought her here. Get in," the palace maid said respectfully in a voice as cold as that of her master.Lin Mengya obediently walked
Fortunately, by the time Lin Mengya got washed up, the noises had subsided.Standing at the door, she saw that today there seemed to be fewer palace maids than usual.Ningqiu showed an embarrassed and helpless look."Did you get any news about the Empress?" While Ningqiu came to wash her face, Lin Mengya exchanged information with her quickly.Ningqiu nodded and said cautiously, "As expected, the Empress got so furious that she almost smashed everything in the Linqiu Pavilion and cursed with malicious words in a voice loud enough to be heard by everyone in the imperial palace. She has never thought she brought this upon herself."Ningqiu naturally spoke for Madame Jingrou. After all, she had seen all the hardships Madame Jingrou had suffered over the years.However, this was not Lin Mengya's concern.Lin Mengya said, "The Empress presumably has sent someone to deliver a message. Send so
Madame Jingrou presumably did not get enough sleep, so her face looked exceptionally pale.She, who had been used to the sedative incense blended by Lin Mengya, cast a glance at the box and nodded to give Lin Mengya implicit consent to put the incense into the censer.Lin Mengya got up, walked up to the censer in front of Madame Jingrou and the Emperor, opened the box, drew a piece of incense at random out of the box and put it into the censer.The charcoal fire instantly devoured it and gave off a pleasant aroma, which gave a sense of warmth.Madame's face softened gradually, and even the Emperor seemed to be affected and showed a less taut look.Meanwhile, Lin Mengya furrowed her brows."Madame, there's something wrong with the incense!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Mengya shouted with her face changing dramatically.She immediately fetched a tea cup in front of Madame Jingrou and poured
In addition to her own footsteps, there were other sounds.Lin Mengya rushed to the door immediately. When she saw an unfamiliar figure outside, she immediately bowed respectfully.Outside the small side chamber, a personal servant in navy blue was looking at her up and down expressionlessly."You, you're that Helan from the Fengyu Court?"Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat and she nodded gently.However, she subconsciously moved closer to the room."It must be you then. Young miss, in the palace, what you fear most is that you can't control your mouth. So when you get there, learn to keep your mouth shut."The servant suddenly turned extremely evil. Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm."Who sent you here? Let me tell you, this is the chamber of the Emperor. Aren't you... afraid that people will hear you?"Lin Mengya's expression changed sli
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
