Chapter 54 A Risky Move (1/2)

”It seems that you really have no sense of what is right for this situation!”

The Empress had already had the intention to kill her. If she gave the order now, everyone would know that Princess Yu was found dead in prison tomorrow.

Even if Lin Mengya refused to cooperate, she still had a way to throw mud at Concubine De and her son.

”Empress, I would recommend you not to be angry. My father is heading the troops of 300,000 to attack the enemy in the North Pass. If you kill me now, he might be heart-broken and lose all the fighting will. The enemy might drives straight into our country and you'll definitely regret it.”

Lin Mengya's words suddenly enlightened the Empress.

Lin Muzhi was a superb military commander and worked hard to lead the conquest of other countries for the Emperor. Lin Mengya was his only soft spot and his favorite kid.

Her sister complained to her many times.

”It's not a problem. I can block the passage of this information and tell him this news after he scores the victory and comes back here.”

Lin Mengya shook her head and was sure that the Empress was crazy.

This might lead to the destruction of the country and the nation. How dare she do this?

”Block the passage of the information? It's impossible. My father is the Marshal of the highest rank and gets the hereditary title of Marquis Zhennan. He has led the troops for 30 years and has never suffered a defeat. Most of the civil and military officials are his friends. His former subordinates could be found everywhere in the world. Several days ago, you took me away at the birthday party and I believe that my father has already heard the news.”

Lin Mengya was aggressive and she was not afraid of the horrible look of the Empress.

”How can you block the passage of the information? How can you smooth the anger of the public?”

The atmosphere was cold and silent. Lin Mengya and the Empress were waiting for a proper opportunity.

At this moment, the one who spoke first would give way to the other and lose the advantage.

”Great! The daughter of Marquis Zhennan is very brave. I can spare your life this time, but I want to know what you've done to the Crown Prince.”

The Empress didn't expect that Lin Mengya gained the initiative once again.

”There is a flower in the north and its name is Miluo. It only flowers once in a season. It looks elegant and has no fragrance. Miluo flower blooms without producing fruit. If the cows and horses eat it by mistake, they'll slowly lose their fertility. In the beginning, I just guessed out of thin air, so I put something that would get rid of this poison in the diet of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince is indeed poisoned, he must be sleepy and have no appetite these days.”

The poison radar in her head often troubled her.

But thanks to it, she could get out of trouble at crucial moments.

The name of this drug automatically appeared in her mind that day when the Crown Prince walked past her.

She wanted to take this as the final card to save her life, but she didn't expect that it came to handy so quickly.

The Empress looked at Lin Mengya skeptically. But after thinking for a while, she realized that Lin Mengya might be right. The Crown Prince had been married for many years and had beautiful concubines in his mansion. But none of them had been pregnant.

Perhaps this girl was right. The Crown Prince had been poisoned.

”Do you think you can save your life by making up a lie? Besides, you've told me this secret. Aren't you afraid of being killed by me?”

Lin Mengya knocked on her head with her slender fingers and pretended to be upset.

”Well. I made a mistake. I forgot to tell you something. If the antidote is used incorrectly, the Crown Prince might feel exhausted and tired. He will die physical deficiency.”

Her red lips were delicate and tender. But what she had said was like the venom of the crane. She could easily and quietly found the fatal weakness of someone.

The Empress' face changed suddenly. But the desire of killing disappeared from her eyes.

”I made a mistake this time. Well, I'll let you out tomorrow. But don't be complacent. Marquis Zhennan can't protect you forever.”

The Empress suffered a defeat this time. She put on her hood and disappeared from prison once again.

But her last words...

Her father was leading troops and attacking the enemies and there were only Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengwu in the house.

She hoped that her concern was misplaced.

The next day Lin Mengya, who had been kept in prison for four days and three nights, was sent back to Prince Yu's Mansion by the guards.

They took her away in a big way while sent her back quietly.

This was the consistent style of the Empress.

”Master, you're finally back. These days, servants at our yard are always crying and their eyes were red. Childe Yu knelt outside of the study room of the Prince for a day and night and he finally fainted.”

Baiji was the calmest servant in her courtyard. She helped Lin Mengya walk into the Qinglan Courtyard.

The servants of the mansion all kept out of her way. Everyone was shunning her. Lin Mengya frowned and felt strange.

”What happened in the past few days when I was not here?”

Baiji looked at Lin Mengya carefully, bit her lips and whispered in her ear.

”After the birthday party, Miss Jiang insisted on staying here to comfort Concubine De. She took herself as the hostess when you were not here.”

Jiang Ruqin? Her pretty face rose before the eyes of Lin Mengya.

Was she really so domineering?

”Well, our mansion must be bustling and lively.”

Baiji shook her head gently. It seemed that she wanted to say something.

”What do you want to say? Please tell me everything.”

”And... And your sister is also here. Miss Lin said that she was poisoned in our mansion, so she would not leave until she was healed. These days, servants suffered a lot because of these two ladies.”

Lin Mengwu? Why was she here?
