Chapter 662 A Secret Deal
After Yunshen left for a long ti, the servants in charge of watching over Lin ngya crept back.
Lin ngya was angry, but she knew that it was not worthwhile to be angry with them.
After all, they were all the Empress’s lackeys, and their disobedience would displease their master.
As the rotten sll gradually dissipated, Lin ngya was surprised to find that the Shen Nung system failed to detect what psychedelic the Buddhist incense contained or find its molecular formula.
Could it be a kind of substance whose molecular formula had not been discovered?
Lin ngya thought it was very likely.
After all, now she was in a world different from the one she ca from. As ti went by, there were indeed a lot of drugs that had completely disappeared from the world.
Lin ngya cald herself down. Yunshen’s failure to kill her did not an that the Empress would let her go.
Today was the last chance. If the Empress could not get rid of her today, the Empress would be in trouble after arriving at the Capital City.
But she didn’t know what Qinghu had been doing. In the past, he often sneaked into her room in the middle of the night to scare her once he didn’t see her for a day.
Now, she had been missing for three days. Why were Long Tianyu and Qinghu so careless that they had not co to find her?
As the sun went down, the sky beca dark.
She didn’t know whether those in charge of watching over her now began to yawn because of what had happened in the day.
Lin ngya sneered in her heart. As she expected, the Empress was going to take action.
She remained composed and sat upright. Even in this situation, she would not show any sign of cowardice.
Sure enough, before the moon shone brightly, a black figure rushed in through the door.
Lin ngya thought it was soone sent by the Empress. Unexpectedly, under the dim candlelight in the woodshed, she saw a very panicked little face.
“Baizhi? Why are you here? Where are Hongyu and the others?”
Lin ngya looked at the panic-stricken girl and asked, feeling a little uneasy.
Baizhi tried hard to look at her master through the crack of the door and said urgently in a low voice.
“Bad news! Miss, Prince Yinghua is missing! The other three sisters and I couldn’t find him no matter how hard we tried. He was still in the room at dinner ti, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone. We have checked around but didn’t find him. Miss, what should we do?”
Baizhi, whose eyes were red and swollen, obviously had cried bitterly.
Lin ngya frowned. Yinghua had always been well-behaved. Even if he wanted to go to the toilet, he would tell his wet nurse in advance, not to ntion going out.
Now, he disappeared in the Huguo Temple surrounded by guards. It was conceivable that soone had operated this accident behind the scenes.
“Wait a minute. Tell , what have you done these days? Also, did anyone from the imperial palace visit you today? Also, did Long Tianyu and Qinghu notice I was missing?”
After eting Lin ngya, Baizhi seed to have found the mainstay and beca less panic-stricken.
Hearing her master’s words, Baizhi tried hard to recall, but soon shook her head in frustration.
“No one has co. After you were wronged, they just said that the Empress kept you in her place and gave you a lecture. We were sent to other ditation rooms, where we were watched and not allowed to get out. By the way, Qinghu once ca to us, but Sister Hongyu said that there was sothing wrong with Qinghu, who told her that he could not stay in the temple and take care of you these days. But he has already told His Highness about it. I believe His Highness will find a way to rescue you.”
Hearing Baizhi’s words, Lin ngya finally understood why neither of them had co.
Although Qinghu seed to be unreliable, in fact, if it weren’t for sothing serious, he would not have neglected her.
She was so worried. Why did Qinghu also have a situation?
“You don’t have to worry about . I guess Yinghua must have been taken away by soone. Rest assured, I won’t let him be hurt. Go back and stay in your rooms. No matter what happens, don’t act rashly until we go back to our mansion. I will et you soon.”
Lin ngya comforted Baizhi, who was at a loss, and Baizhi did not notice her strange tone.
“Okay, I’ll go back and tell the others about it right away. Miss, you must co back safely.”
Lin ngya nodded with a smile, hoping that it could comfort this frightened girl.
As Baizhi walked away while looking back, Lin ngya sneered.
It seed that the Empress could not wait to take action.
“Is there any living person? Co out. I want to et your master. Tell her that if she dares to hurt the child, I will make her regret it even at the cost of my life.”
She said in a cold voice, sounding as arrogant as usual even when she was in trouble.
The Empress had her plan, and so did she.
When two people ca into an unavoidable confrontation, the brave one would be the winner. Besides, she might not necessarily sustain a crushing defeat.
Soon, Lin ngya was taken to a dark room.
The moon was covered by dark clouds, but she soon got used to the darkness.
This should be an abandoned ditation room in the Huguo Temple. On such a moonless night, it was indeed a good ti to carry out a conspiracy.
Lin ngya stood still in front of the door.
Soon after, soone walked over in the darkness with a simple lantern, followed by a person in black.
...
Even from a distance, Lin ngya could still tell it was the Empress based on her noble and elegant ambergris fragrance.
The Empress really thought highly of her so that she was willing to condescend to co here in person to et her.
It seed that she was indeed significant.
“Greetings, Your Majesty. But I’m too upright to bow to you.”
She, who was trapped, said in a mocking tone, which sounded particularly ironic.
The woman holding the lantern raised her head and was about to curse Lin ngya, but was prevented by the Empress.
“It doesn’t matter. Tonight, I can forgive you for what you’ve done.”
The Empress said, and her face was still as cold as that of a dead person in the light.
Lin ngya acted like a fearless person in desperation.
Anyway, her and Yinghua’s lives were in the hands of the Empress. It was useless to grovel to the Empress, as they would be used as pawns by the Empress in any case.
“Your Majesty, you’re so broad-minded and deserve to be a model for us. Nevertheless, I’m wondering why you think so highly of that you even set up with Beauty Cheng’s death and threatened with Yinghua’s safety. Even if you’re capable of carrying out your plan perfectly and pushing all the bla to others, as Yinghua’s legitimate mother, you should be blad for having not taken good care of him. Given your relationship with His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely get mad at you. Your Majesty, are you really not worried about it?”
A straightforward person did not resort to insinuations. Since they had co into confrontation, Lin ngya was disinclined to continue playing dumb in front of the Empress.
The Empress stared at her with a flash of profound hatred in her slanted eyes.
Lin ngya was stunned and looked at the Empress. Why did the Empress hate her?
“You are as glib as usual. However, I don’t have ti to listen to your nonsense here. If you agree to my terms, I can release you and Yinghua. Besides, you don’t have to worry that I will get involved in this. At that ti, I was talking with my mother with plenty of sdas around, and I have never left the banquet. If you and Yinghua were seen leaving the Huguo Temple together, it has nothing to do with .”
She played this back-up card as usual. Unfortunately, she was the Empress and the one behind the scenes. No one dared to doubt her.
Lin ngya knew that she was at a disadvantage, but she just didn’t want to let the Empress carry out her plot so smoothly.
Unfortunately, there was no room for her to fight back at the mont.
“Well, Your Majesty, I would like to know what your terms are. But I also want to offer a piece of advice. What’s done by night appears by day.”
However, Lin ngya’s cold words did not provoke the Empress to great rage.
The Empress just glanced at her lightly as if there were no room for the woman in front of her to negotiate.
“I want the military power of your Lin family and you to leave Prince Yu and never appear in the capital again. I will raise Yinghua in person. If you’re discovered in any place in Dajin, Yinghua will not be able to live to adulthood.”
The Empress sounded as if she, who asked Lin ngya to et her unreasonable requirents, had given Lin ngya a way out.
It was only now that Lin ngya realized how ambitious the Empress was.
The Empress not only wanted her to leave Long Tianyu, but even wanted her to hand over the military power of the Lin family.
“Your Majesty, are you kidding ? As the daughter of our Lin Family, I have no right to hand over the military power of our Lin family. Besides, even if our Lin family wants to hand it over, it should be handed over to the Emperor instead of you. Moreover, I can’t give up my identity as Princess Yu at will. Unless I die suddenly, I really can’t think of a good way to give it up.”
Lin ngya knew that the Empress was up to sothing, and she also knew that the Empress could not kill her at will.
Unexpectedly, the Empress looked at her and sneered, as if mocking her for being an idiot.
...
“Of course you can think of a way. Don’t underestimate your face. With it, you can do what I said. Also, maybe you think I don’t dare to kill you. But if you flee to escape punishnt and hold Yinghua hostage, do you think you can still step out of the Huguo Temple?”
Lin ngya felt a chill in her heart. Damn it, how could she forget this?
At first, she thought that adopting the ostrich policy was the best way to stay safe. But now, she “asked” to et the Empress.
