The Crown Prince looked like an excellent big brother. Despite that he hated Long Tianhao deep in his heart, he still pretended to be kind to this younger brother.
Long Tianhao put on a false smile and exchanged pleasantries with him. It seed that he beca more respectful to the Crown Prince.
Only Lin ngya, who could hear their conversation knew that they were not chatting. They were trying to score off each other.
The royal family all looked prosperous and harmonious. But in fact, there were many dirty secrets between family mbers.
Although they were real brothers, they didn’t trust each other at all. Obviously, there was no family affection between them.
"Ya’er, why haven’t you paid respect to the Empress?" Concubine De called Lin ngya.
The Empress raised her beautiful eyes. Lin ngya looked at her and tried to calm down. She knew that she must confront the Empress sooner or later.
She walked slowly and dropped a courtesy with a graceful smile.
"Ya’er pays respect to the Empress. Wish you a long life of happiness."
"Well, Concubine De, you’re so lucky to find such a cute daughter-in-law." The Empress seed to be praising her. But her facial expression indicated that it was not her true thought.
There was an undercurrent of antipathy between them. All the guests clearly knew that this birthday party was not as simple as it looked.
Lin ngya pretended to be shy at the right ti. She must deal with the Empress calmly.
She must be careful every ti when she confronted the Empress.
"By the way, I gave you a statuette of Songzi Guanyin as the gift several days ago. Princess Yu, could you please take it out? Everyone here can have a look and get the blessing."
The Empress switched gears and casually dropped a bombshell.
Lin ngya was still calm. She didn’t find any excuses to delay, instead, she turned and told his maid to bring it.
"Be careful and bring the Songzi Guanyin statuette given by the Empress. Everyone here can have a look."
Baiji dropped a courtesy and left with her head down.
They all had different ideas. Only Lin ngya smiled as usual. No one could know what she was thinking.
After a while, two efficient won carried the niche for the Songzi Guanyin statuette to the main hall of the party.
In an instant, the faint sandalwood scent made everyone here calm down. But the face of the Empress changed slightly.
This statuette should have been damaged. Why was it still intact?
"My Empress, I’ve always treated this Songzi Guanyin with my whole heart. Please have a look. Doesn’t it look more spiritual than before?"
Lin ngya said softly but everyone here could hear her words easily.
A few ladies who were familiar with the old orders of the imperial palace beca serious when they noticed the sll of sandalwood.
A lot of people had been killed because of this sandy soil pottery.
They were not sure whether this Princess was lucky enough to avoid this disaster.
"If this is the case, then you’d better continue to keep it sincerely. I hope that you can give birth to a child and Concubine De can also enjoy happy family life in the near future."
She was definitely the Empress. Her face darkened but she beca elegant and beautiful again after a few seconds.
Lin ngya felt strange. She noticed that the two maids standing beside the Empress were looking carefully at the statuette. But why didn’t the Empress confront her? The Empress didn’t even ask her any questions.
Did she...
Lin ngya looked at the statuette of Songzi Guanyin. They had forged it several days ago. Did the Empress really think that this was the original one?
The Empress had no interest in it. So the servants carried it out.
But Lin ngya beca more careful. It seed that the Empress would not let her go easily.
Perhaps an unknown danger was approaching her.
"Auntie. Wu’er pays respect to you. Wish you all happiness and health."
Lin ngwu was unable to hold back her excitent and she finally saw an opportunity to show off.
She fell to the ground gracefully. There was a pure smile on her pretty and innocent face.
"Well, get up." The Empress looked indifferent and she said to Lin ngwu without extra emotions.
Her sister was stupid and she didn’t think that she could have a clever daughter.
So she had an excellent insidious sche in an instant.
"Co here. I have sothing to tell you. Your sister is Princess Yu now. You can co here and visit her more frequently to have her good fortune. In this way, you may also find a good husband in the future."
Lin ngwu was flattered. She let the Empress take her hand and sat in the upper position.
Jiang Ruqin was sitting next to Concubine De while Lin ngwu was sitting beside the Empress.
This was the birthday party of Concubine De, but these two ladies were in the lilight now. It seed that they attracted more attention than the hostess of this mansion.
"Sister Princess, the Prince..." She hadn’t seen Lin Zhongyu since the beginning of the party. But he suddenly appeared and told her sothing in secret.
Lin ngya finally understood why the Empress hadn’t found anything wrong with the statuette.
Long Tianhao still kept a poker face as if he hadn’t helped her. Lin ngya looked at him softly and gave him a sweet smile.
She was grateful despite that she didn’t know the reason why he helped her.
"I didn’t expect that you and your wife loved each other so much. I just find that you’re casting glances of love in this party."
The Crown Prince said jealously. The won in his mansion were also beautiful. But they were too respectful to him.
They may also wink at him or look at him alluringly. But these won were tasteless and vulgar.
"She... She’s good." Long Tianhao’s answer was better and more expressive than any other praise.
Long Tianhao turned and looked at Lin ngya who was smiling sweetly. His cold eyes glittered with affection, which was rare for him.
"This is good. But I have a question. Why do you want to marry the daughter of Marquis Zhennan? Do you have any ulterior motives?"
The question of the Crown Prince cut like a sharp knife right into the heart of Long Tianhao.
His face turned cold. But he just smiled indifferently to cover the sadness in his eyes.
The Crown Prince was the eldest son. Long Tianhao still rembered that when they were kids, he always brought him and the second elder brother to go out of the imperial palace to play.
The Empress had tried many tis to kill him. But he survived because the Crown Prince always warned helped him.
As a result, even the Empress had threatened him with his mother, he had never hated the Crown Prince. Why did the Crown Price hate him so much?
"No. I’m very loyal to you."
"It better be. You’d better be honest. You’ve got enough love."
The Crown Prince snorted and Long Tianhao caught a flash of coldness in his eyes.
Now, he regretted it very much. He was too confused when he was a child. If he had followed his mother’s order and killed Long Tianhao, he could have beco happier now!
"Miss Lin! What’s wrong with you?"
"Wu’er! Wu’er! What happened?"
The atmosphere was tense. But they suddenly heard the shouting and screaming coming from the direction of the Empress.
Lin ngya walked over calmly and saw Lin ngwu, who was complacent just now, fell in the arms of the Empress. Her eyes were closed and she looked pale.
"Co on! Ask the doctor to co over here!"
The Empress had tried hard to suppress her anger. But she still sounded like a furious lion.
Black and red blood suddenly ca out of her seven apertures. Lin ngya felt strange and realized that this seed to be the symptom of poisoning!
Why...
"Princess Yu! How dare you try to kill ! Co on! Take this bitch to the prison!"
The Empress beca furious. In an instant, Lin ngya was surrounded by the guards of the Empress closely.
"I want to go by myself." She didn’t shout and scream and argue for herself. She didn’t even struggle. She just looked at the Empress blandly. There was disdain in her calm eyes.
"Princess Yu, please follow us." She looked stern and inviolable. And the guards dared not to force her. So they just respectfully asked her to follow them.
"Prince, I have to leave ho for a few days. Please take care of yourself." Lin ngya walked up to Long Tianhao and gave a curtsy gracefully. She looked calm as if she was going to leave ho and have a trip.
Long Tianhao nodded and turned to comfort Concubine De.
The guests didn’t expect that the birthday party would end like this.
Everyone thought that the Empress would be furious. But they didn’t expect that she just hurried away with the Crown Prince that day.
The farce ca to an end but the guests were still puzzled.
Lin ngya sat quietly on the straw at a dark and narrow cell. There was dusk on her shining hair but this didn’t change her noble elegance.
Three days had passed. She was put in prison three days ago.
It seed that she had been forgotten by the whole world. But Lin ngya did not panic or argue for herself. She just sat leisurely.
Finally, soone appeared outside of her cell.
Accompanied by the head of jailers, a mysterious person in black quietly ca to Lin ngya’s cell.
"Wait for at the door. No one can co near this cell."
The person in black took the hood off her head and Lin ngya saw the cold face of the Empress.
Lin ngya opened her eyes at the right ti and smiled. She finally ca here.
"Why do you want to poison ?"
The Empress was wearing black clothes but she was still pushy and overbearing. She looked at Lin ngya coldly.
"How is the Crown Prince?" She didn’t expect that Lin ngya would first ask about his son. The Empress was stunned and then beca alert.
"Why do you ask about the Crown Prince? What have you done to him?"
But Lin ngya just gave her a sweeter smile. Her eyes were as soft as the spring.
"Empress, do you rember what you’ve done to ? I did the sa thing to your son."
It was impossible!
The face of the Empress changed. But, indeed, the Crown Princess looked sluggish and tired.
The royal doctors had already examined him. But they said that the Crown Prince was safe and healthy. Did this bitch try to deceive her and get so information?
"It’s useless to struggle at this point. I co over here to tell you sothing."
"You want to say that Concubine De or Prince Yu is the one behind this murder case. Or maybe you want to say that they worked together to try to kill you, right?"
The Empress suddenly looked at Lin ngya coldly after hearing her words.
