Chapter 944 She Went to the Imperial Palace Again
Lin Mengya would never admit that she deliberately took Baiji and others to hide in the corner to watch the whole process.
In fact, Long Tianyu had intended to get Sheng Nankun and his panions to go from the shadows to the light, but he had too many things to deal with, so he had put it on hold for the time being.
Now that Lin Mengya had beaten him to it, it was reasonable for him to be laughed at by her.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya knew that her husband cared about his reputation, so she specifically told everyone not to mention it to the prince these days.
For this reason, although the people in the Liuxin Courtyard had been covering their mouths to suppress their laughter, Long Tianyu did not feel anything other than a little annoyed.
After all, they were all from his wife’s family, so he could do nothing about it. Poor man!
These people were obviously servants who had signed a lifetime contract with his mansion, but now… He was helpless.
Sheng Nankun had the title of nobility. Moreover, he swaggered into Capital City that day and went straight to Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Although many things had not been made public, the people in the Capital City saw a fact once again.
Even if the Emperor had not declared his position, Long Tianyu’s power had already surpassed that of the Crown Prince.
Even many of the things he’d silently done in the past that benefited the nation and its people had spread throughout the lands.
All of a sudden, the so-called Crown Prince became a joke and Long Tianyu became a model of loyalty and patriotism.
Of course, Lin Mengya and Qinghu played a part in adding fuel to the fire.
Ever since they achieved the victory that day, Qinghu had disappeared. It seemed they had been busy with this matter.
Now he had both strength and a good reputation.
Lin Mengya knew that it was time to make a move.
“I heard that there were some ministers who submitted a written statement in court today, hoping that His Majesty would abdicate and enjoy the rest of his life.”
In the Liuxin Courtyard of Prince Yu’s Mansion, which had already bee the focus of attention, Qinghu, in a moon-white fox fur robe, leisurely ate snacks, drank tea, and chatted with the girls.
He was now one of the top ten eligible bachelors in the Capital City. Although he was a young foreign duke, his advantage was his good looks and wealth. In addition, his protectiveness of his sister made him even more charming.
Many of the noble young ladies in the Capital City were attracted by him.
There were even some smart girls who tried to approach him in a roundabout way. They wanted to conquer Lin Mengya first and then bee her sister-in-law.
Lin Mengya accepted all these friendly gestures with a smile. Anyway, it was Qinghu’s business whether it would be successful or not. She had done her duty. She mentioned what should be mentioned and said nothing about what should not be mentioned.
After all, Qinghu’s situation was different from others. It was inappropriate for her to do harm to a girl’s marriage and lifelong happiness.
Instantly, countless young girls were brokenhearted.
“The Emperor must be very angry. I’m afraid that he didn’t expect that the ministers who were loyal to him a few days ago would change their attitudes so soon. One by one, they began to help his son deal with him.”
Lin Mengya was as relaxed as Qinghu. In fact, many people had seen her dressed in red and jumping into Long Tianyu’s arms on the battlefield that day, and the two of them had left together.
Therefore, no one dared to say anything when she lived in Prince Yu’s Mansion as the hostess.
But once Long Tianyu ascended the throne and became the emperor, it would be a little embarrassing for her as the princess of another country.
If a princess of another country became the empress and gave birth to a prince who would bee the future heir apparent of the Jin State, wouldn’t the country belong to someone else?
Long Tianyu had a lot of momentum now. If they helped him get what he wanted now, they would have a place in front of the new emperor.
At that time, if they begged sincerely, the young ladies of the right age in their family would bee one of the members of the new emperor’s harem.
If one of these young ladies gave birth to a son before her, a foreign princess, and they took the opportunity to pull some strings, wouldn’t the country be in their hands?
Their plan was very clear. Unfortunately, none of them knew that Prince Yu, who had always been concerned about the country and the people, did not intend to be the Emperor of Jin State for a long time.
Therefore, those people’s hopes were destined to be dashed.
As for whether they would try the same trick on Long Qinghan after he ascended the throne.
Well, they would leave it to Qinghan to worry about. But she had heard that there was a new wife in Long Qinghan’s mansion, who was very domineering.
Even Long Qinghan had been kicked out of bed by her, let alone the delicate concubines in the mansion who had been bullied by her.
But Long Qinghan seemed to be mesmerized. Not only did he not rebuke his wife, but he also cherished her like a treasure.
If she had time, she would make friends with Long Qinghan’s wife and pare notes on bending husbands.
As for the position of master of the harem, she had no interest at all. But before Long Tianyu abdicated, she should find a chance to talk to that madam.
Those senior officials, who had always wanted to send their daughters to the emperor’s bed, would definitely burst into tears.
“It’s no big deal. Anyway, he’s old and weak. He won’t live long.”
Qinghu had never had a good impression of the royal family of Jin State.
In the past, he had been cold to Long Tianyu. Now, although his relationship with Lin Mengya had eased a lot, he was still the same as before when talking about others.
Although Lin Mengya was curious, she respected Qinghu very much.
Even if Qinghu never hid anything from her, she would never push her luck with him.
Everyone had their own boundaries. If she really regarded Qinghu as her family, she should care more about what he was thinking.
Lin Mengya lifted her head and lightly tapped her fingers on the table in front of her.
“I guess the Emperor of Dajin will never let go easily.”
Before she finished her sentence, there suddenly came a noise from outside.
Baiji, who had been sewing in the outer chamber, rushed out. A few minutes later, she came back to Lin Mengya with an uneasy look on her face.
“Master, someone from the Imperial Palace is here and said that it was an order from Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. She wants you to stay in the palace for a few days.”
“Well, it’s the same trick. He thinks he can do whatever he wants once he knows your weakness. After all these years, he still hasn’t gotten any better.”
Of course, Qinghu despised this kind of behavior. How could they not know the tricks of the Emperor of Dajin?
The Imperial Noble Consort truly liked her daughter-in-law very much. But even if she really wanted Lin Mengya to e to the palace to acpany her, she would not send someone to invite Lin Mengya to the palace when Long Tianyu was not at home.
Then it was obvious who had sent people to summon her.
After being deceived so many times, how could the Emperor of Dajin never learn from his mistakes and behave himself?
“Are you going? It’s fine if you aren’t going. That old bastard can’t do anything to you.”
Qinghu looked displeased. Long Tianyu and Long Qinghan were in charge of all the forces in and out of the Capital City.
To put it bluntly, the Emperor of Dajin was just a person without a following.
If he wanted to lay his hands on her, he would have to ask for permission from the ten thousand soldiers in the Capital City.
“Of course, I’m going. Or who would be kind enough to shatter his grand dream if I don’t go?”
Lin Mengya sneered. “What Emperor and Minister? What father and son?
In the end, wouldn’t they shed all pretenses of cordiality?”
She could tolerate the Emperor of Dajin plotting against her, but she could not tolerate him plotting against her man again and again.
When Lin Mengya appeared in the study of the Emperor of Dajin in splendid clothes, the Emperor, who had suffered setbacks in the court successively, finally felt a little refreshed.
Sitting upright on the royal yellow throne, he was still putting on airs as an emperor. But his face became gloomier.
Lin Mengya knew that the more a person cared about power, the less he could bear the feeling of having his power taken away from him.
Moreover, the Emperor of Dajin was an emperor with a strong desire for control. Such a person would do anything to get the power in his hands.
“Your Majesty, I hear you’re not feeling well?”
Lin Mengya did not bow to him. Although she treated him with respect, she was totally different from before.
The eyes of the Emperor of Dajin became a little gloomy. But he soon suppressed the displeasure in his heart.
A helpless smile appeared on his face. This old fox really knew how to show weakness.
“Well, I’m getting old and useless. Sooner or later, the whole world will belong to you young people.”
If it were not for the fact that she knew the purpose of his invitation, perhaps she would have believed that the Emperor of Dajin was just lamenting the ruthlessness of time.
“Your Majesty, you’re right. But luckily, your sons are very excellent, and it’s time for you to enjoy your retirement.”
Lin Mengya put on a mocking smile.
The Emperor, who had been patiently enduring for a long time, was finally unable to maintain his calmness. There was a bit of viciousness in his eyes, but he still managed to maintain his dignity.
“You may be right, but I can’t give up my responsibility for pleasure. Yu’er is good, but he is still lacking in the most important thing for a ruler. I will hand over the world to him sooner or later, but not now. This throne is far from being as easy as he thinks. For the sake of the country and the people, I can only force myself to do so.”
“He is using the excuse of understanding the greater good for the sake of the country and its people again.”
Lin Mengya shook her head with a sneer, and her eyes were full of disdain.
“How dare you! How dare you laugh at me?”
The Emperor of Dajin glared and growled.
Having to do that in front of a junior was already displeasing to the Emperor of Dajin.
Lin Mengya’s attitude humiliated him even more.
Lin Mengya walked up to the Emperor of Dajin step by step without any respect for him.
She found it ridiculous. How on earth had he raised excellent sons like Long Tianyu and Long Qinghan?
Perhaps it could only show that their mother’s genes were stronger.
“Your Majesty, I’m laughing at you for your wishful thinking and overestimation of your abilities.”
