Chapter 298 Zhenzhu and Manao (1/2)

“I won’t go. Master, it’s dangerous. You can’t be left alone. Baisu is capable of kung fu, but without a close maid to serve you, what if your sickness recurs?”

The speaker was Baiji, who always listened to Lin Mengya before.

The other two immediately echoed what she said. Everything that happened tonight had given them a severe fright.

It had been a real fight. They saw for themselves, a lady about Lin Mengya’s age, killed by assassins, and lying in a pool of blood on the ground.

Their round eyes were wide open, and reflected their reluctance to leave her.

Therefore, the three maids refused to leave Lin Mengya alone in this place.

Should Lin Mengya ever encounter any danger one day, they would sacrifice their lives for her, at least, to repay her for her appreciation of them.

“I’m a doctor myself. So I’m clear about my own condition. Besides, I will not be staying here forever. I know, you’re worried about me, because of what happened today. But have you ever thought of this? If they take you hostage in order to threaten me, then, it will be more dangerous. So what you should do is to stay in Sanjue Hall, and not come out without my permission. Luckily, no one else knows about this place. Wait there and I will come and get you once I get out.”

Lin Mengya turned her head sideways, and a teardrop dripped from the corner of her eye.

She did not want to leave them, especially Baizhi, who had grown up together with her.

But in the palace, even Lin Mengya herself, had no confidence to survive any potential dangers. Therefore, she must make a good arrangement for the people and things she cared about. Only in this way, would she feel at ease.

Tonight was particularly long, because of the silent atmosphere.

Lin Mengya tried to force herself to sleep, but failed, until daylight was breaking.

In the Imperial Palace, every action would be a potential trap. Thus, she must keep herself in perfect condition, so that she would be able to continue her fight against her enemies.

Thanks to the Shen Nung system, Lin Mengya fell into a deep sleep unexpectedly, after clicking the button of the sleep assistant.

When she got up, most of her tiredness were already gone.

The moment she pulled aside the gauze curtain, she found her room looking totally new.

“Baisu? Baisu?”

Her four maids had already disappeared, leaving no traces in the empty room.

“The function of sleep assistant was so effective that she was even unaware that her four maids had been taken away?”

But after seeing the figure she was familiar with, Lin Mengya started to calm down.

Baisu looked cool, but not angry. It seemed that the situation was better than she expected.

“You are up, Master? Let me serve you.”

Baisu shouted louder than before, as if she was deliberately letting the others hear.

Lin Mengya nodded. “When I was sleeping, someone must have stirred up some trouble with Baisu.”

“The three of them have already gone back. Steward Deng personally took them away. These were changed when we were out. I’ve checked them and found nothing wrong.”

Baiji brought a basin of warm water and carefully washed Lin Mengya’s face and hands, and then, helped her dress her messy hair.

In fact, Lin Mengya had already seen the totally new yard, as what Baisu had told her.

It was a warning from the Empress. It meant that the Empress could decide what kind of house Lin Mengya should live in, as well as what kind of life she would have, in future.

Everything changed overnight. The Empress showed her confidence in her own plan, and also wanted to warn her that the Imperial Palace was the Empress’s place.

As the Empress of Dajin, why would she be so involved in such a small thing?

After dressing up, Lin Mengya’s lunch was already served on the table.

Lin Mengya did get a good sleep last night. It was already noon. Steward Deng did not only take her maids away, and also sent her some things.

For now, no, forever, she could not return to Liuxin Courtyard. But what was laid elaborately in Liuxin Courtyard would be stuck in her mind, and would never be forgotten.

After lunch, the servants the Empress sent to serve her, were already waiting outside.

Two of the maids looked cunning and capable, and Aunt Qinglan who led them to the house, stood in front of her, and greeted her respectfully.

“Greetings, Your Highness. Her Highness knows that you have sent your maids back to your house. She’s afraid that you might find it inconvenient, so she told me to send two maids to you. One is called Zhenzhu, and the other one is Manao. They are very clever and are from the Household Department. Come and greet Her Highness. In the future, both of you will serve her here.”

Qinglan made the decision immediately, without even asking Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya smiled silently. “They are sent here not to serve me, but to watch me.”

The house was like a graveyard in a ghost film, last night. Today, it became a new house. The Empress did make an effort.

“Thank you, how thoughtful mother is. She is letting me stay in such a beautiful house and also sent two smart girls to serve me. I have to thank her personally.”

Lin Mengya gave a humble smile, and showed a gracious attitude.
