Chapter 332 A Departure Gift of Clothes (2/2)
But only Su Tong was clearly aware that the whole government was starting to get upset because of His Majesty. Even the Court of Imperial Physicians should keep their eyes open and try not to make any false moves.
The battle with Lin Mengya was not a big deal, in comparison with the future of their families.
“How smart you are, Minister Su. I know what you mean.”
Cui Shi said. But in his eyes, there was a trace of unwillingness.
Cui Shi was the second in command at the Court of Imperial Physicians, not because he was incapable, but because he was skilled at securing things for his personal gain.
The present situation was starting to fall apart and the people at the top, should be more vigilant.
Lin Mengya went back to the small house. She would never expect that due to her, the Court of Imperial Physicians, which always seemed to be in harmony, was now a very stormy place.
“Master, will we be leaving?”
Inside the room, Baisu was helping Lin Mengya to pack up her golds and silvers.
Fanglan did not ask any questions, but only followed what Baisu did.
Master Yu had gone back to where he lived before. Everyone had their own choice. Lin Mengya could not stand in his way.
“Let’s just get ready. I have a feeling that it will be more difficult to leave than to come in.”
All the powerful people in the Palace had kept quiet till now. None of them came to make trouble for her. Lin Mengya thought that this was a little abnormal.
Initially, she had expected that the Empress would send someone to do something to her, or at least confine her within the palace grounds.
But the Empress had not shown up, even up till now.
Consort Xian paid several visits to her when she visited the tenth prince.
“Is Princess Yu here?”
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
When Lin Mengya was thinking of Consort Xian, her trusted maid came in cautiously, from outside the yard.
“Sister, hurry up. Her Highness is just back.”
Fanglan came out to greet her immediately. She was better at mingling with people than Baisu.
When she saw Lin Mengya, the maid greeted her instantly, as if they were old friends.
She was holding a big bag in her hand, filled with materials made of luxurious brocade.
“Consort Xian heard that Your Highness will be going back. She asked me to give you something, as a token of her love.”
Lin Mengya smiled and signaled to Baisu to take it from her.
She rummaged through the bag and saw three, newly tailored thick dresses, their workmanship and material were both of superior quality.
“I like it. Send my thanks to your master. Oh, does your master have any message for me?”
As she looked on at Princess Yu accepting the gift, the maid smilingly said.
“Consort Xian asks me to tell you that she gets along well with you, and that she wants you to pay a visit soon if you’re available. The tenth prince also wants to see you again every day, if possible.”
When she thought of Yinghua, she frowned tenderly.
Long Yinghua was a smart, naughty and adorable boy.
“Okay, I’ll go to visit them when I’m available. Well, it’s getting late. I should not keep you here.”
The maid was used to Lin Mengya’s way of showing her guest to the door.
There was no anger on her face, and she left with a smile. But when the door closed, the smiles on the three of them disappeared immediately.
Lin Mengya sat on the chair and looked gloomily at the three dresses.
Baisu and Fanglan looked at each other. They wanted to ask, but wisely kept their silence.
“Why is Consort Xian giving me these clothes now? What do you think?”
There was an unfathomable look in Lin Mengya’s eyes.
But it was more of confusion and disappointment.
“About this…we don’t know.”

Fanglan also thought that something was not quite right, but she shook her head. So did Baisu.
“Am I naive or the palace is really such a treacherous and ruthless place? Fine. She’s supposed to do it for Yinghua.”
From the moment the maid Consort Xian trusted the most, came to her door, Lin Mengya knew that Consort Xian might have betrayed her.
Later, the maid brought out three dresses and claimed that they were a departure gift for her. Lin Mengya was sure that Consort Xian had every intention to harm her.
Her heart felt cold. But she did not really see Consort Xian as her friend.
So there would be no betrayal if she was not.
