Chapter 664 An Unexpected Turnaround

Although Lin Mengya had come across the same situation when Yunshen came here, given the Empress’ character, she would not make the same mistake.

In addition, Master Wuchen was indeed a capable man. So Lin Mengya thought that he was capable of rescuing Yinghua.

“It’s my duty to convert people to Buddhism. Don’t worry. I got it. The mortal world is as deep as the sea. If I can get an innocent person out of it, it will be a blessing. Well, I’m leaving now.”

Lin Mengya bowed deeply, with her mind occupied with great admiration for Master Wuchen.

Such a person was truly selfless.

Lin Mengya was relieved to entrust him with Yinghua.

She was just wondering if the Empress would be angry when she learned that the key to her victory was suddenly gone.

To be honest, Lin Mengya was looking forward to seeing Empress’s furious expression.

Early in the morning, Lin Mengya was aroused from sleep by a voice.

After eating the sweet pancake Master Wuchen gave her, she had a sound sleep last night.

“Your Highness, it’s time to set off. The Empress ordered us to escort you to the carriage.”

Aunt Yan looked as indifferent as ever.

Lin Mengya looked at her and suddenly smiled very elegantly.

“Okay, thank you, Aunt.”

As a “sinner”, she could not share a carriage with any of the mesdames from other families.

Lin Mengya did not see anyone along the way as usual, which aroused her suspicion.

Although she was being escorted back to the Capital City, there was no need to avoid others like this.

“Where are you taking me?”

Standing at the gate of the Huguo Temple, Lin Mengya was suspicious.

If she didn’t realize what was going on now, she would be a fool.

Along the way, not to mention the mesdames, even the monks in the temple and the imperial guards, who should be stationed outside, were all gone.

Could it be that the Empress could not wait to get rid of her in advance?

“Of course, we’re taking you to where you should go. Come on, take Princess Yu away.”

Aunt Yan still looked cold, but Lin Mengya sensed a trace of cruelty in her eyes.

No, they probably didn’t intend to kill her directly.

Could it be—

An extremely eye-catching carriage, which seemed to belong to a young master from a wealthy family, appeared in Lin Mengya’s sight.

She suddenly frowned and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.

However, she found that her way of escape had been blocked.

“You! It turns out that the Empress is such an untrustworthy person. It seems that she is not so sure about our agreement.”

Lin Mengya turned around and said seriously.

However, Aunt Yan was not swayed by her words at all.

Instead, she urged the servants beside her to push Lin Mengya into the carriage.

“If you do this to me, Prince Yu will never let you go! The Lin Family will not let you off either!”

Lin Mengya still wanted to struggle, but she, who was outnumbered, could only be tied up with ropes and pushed into the carriage.

As soon as Lin Mengya got in the carriage, the fresh smell of blood made her feel nauseous.

However, before she could sit down, the coachman swung the whip, and the carriage ran to the foot of the mountain where the Huguo Temple was located.

“All of you, remember clearly that Princess Yu and Beauty Cheng had a dispute because of a playboy, and she killed Beauty Cheng. Then, she injured the person watching over her and eloped with the playboy. Unfortunately, they both fell off the cliff and died. Do you remember it?”

Aunt Yan glanced at the carriage, which was going farther and farther away, and said with a sneer.

…

Humph, the Lin Family? If this news went out, the Lin Family would feel extremely ashamed, let alone to avenge her, who eloped with her lover.

As for Prince Yu? Ha, no man could bear to be cuckolded.

“Yes, we got it.”

Aunt Yan turned around and left with her subordinates. Meanwhile, Lin Mengya, who had been sent away by them, met another crisis in her bumpy ride.

Lin Mengya was pushed into the carriage by force with her hands tied up. The carriage moving at a high speed caused her to lose her balance and hit her head hard.

Enduring the burning pain, Lin Mengya struggled to climb up with her hands on the walls.

The carriage, which shook violently, seemed to be moving at a high speed. If she jumped out of it, she might die earlier.

She struggled to keep her balance, only to find a figure lying motionless in the innermost part of the carriage.

The fresh smell of blood came from the person.

“Hey! Hey! Are you still alive?”

Lin Mengya asked in a low voice, but got no response.

She struggled to move inside, only to see that the person had been dead.

The reason why he did not sway as the carriage moved was that he was tied to the carriage with a rope.

Lin Mengya looked around and found that in addition to this corpse, there were several big packages in the carriage.

She managed to unwrap them with a gentle kick. In addition to some ordinary clothes for men and women, there were also a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry.

Looking at these things, Lin Mengya suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out that the Empress intended to frame her with this trick.

The male corpse had been dead. Even if it was seen, no one could find any important clues from it.

Was she really going to be killed by the Empress and her henchmen this time?

Lin Mengya was unwilling to await her doom, but she could do nothing but sit here and look at the corpse.

“Where are you taking me?”

In a moment of desperation, Lin Mengya came up with an idea. She wanted to sound out the coachman outside on her current position.

The coachman did not answer. She heard nothing but the sounds of the coachman’s flourishing the whip to urge on the horse.

The Empress was really meticulous. She believed even if she raved herself hoarse, no one would discover her current situation.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer, but it seems that your master has made up her mind to sacrifice you. Think about it, is it worthwhile to express your so-called loyalty by killing me at the cost of your life?”

Lin Mengya leaned against the carriage and continued trying to persuade the coachman outside to let her go.

She knew clearly that those chosen by the Empress would definitely be loyal to her, and she was just struggling on her deathbed. But if she did nothing, she would probably have a breakdown before getting killed.

“If you let me go, I can give you three times the money your master promised you. If any of your family members is held hostage, I can help you save them. What do you think? You know who I am, and I won’t lie to you.”

She still got no response after resorting to both intimidation and bribery.

Lin Mengya really wanted to go out and see if this guy had a one-track mind. Even if he didn’t agree, he should at least give her a response.

Unfortunately, it was still quiet outside.

Lin Mengya, who was frustrated again and again, finally shut her mouth, thinking that she was unlikely to get any response even if she continued talking to him.

She might as well preserve her strength, which probably would be helpful in a while.

As the carriage sped along the road, Lin Mengya, who was tied up, felt very uncomfortable in the shaking carriage.

She could neither sit nor lie down. Anyway, she was very angry with her current situation.

The Empress was so black-hearted that she even didn’t offer her, who was on the brink of death, a comfortable environment.

She did not know where the carriage would take her and what the corpse was used for.

After a long while, a somewhat suppressed voice suddenly came from outside.

“You said you could promise me anything, didn’t you?”

In the carriage, Lin Mengya was stunned, thinking it took quite a while for this man to react!

Or had he just been thinking about his terms before?

“Yes, I can promise you anything. But you know, if it’s out of my reach, I can’t do it.”

After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya replied.

However, the man did not answer her immediately. After a while, he slowly said, “If I want you—not to get angry or hit me when you see me later?”

His suppressed voice suddenly became cheerful and clear.

Lin Mengya was stunned at once. After a while, she returned to herself.

“Qinghu—you’re such a jerk! How dare you scare me like this! Come here, today I’ll definitely peel off your skin and tear apart your bones!”

He was such a nuisance!

Lin Mengya only felt a weight was lifted off her mind in an instant.

She had thought that she was doomed. Unexpectedly, Qinghu had taken this carriage under his control.

Finally, the car stopped slowly on the roadside.

As the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Qinghu, disguised as a coachman, showed up in front of Lin Mengya with an embarrassed smile.

“Well, promise me not to peel off my skin and tear apart my bones, okay? You know, I’m already skinny. Ahem, you should respect the old and love the young.”

Lin Mengya glared at him mercilessly.

“Release me.”

Staring at Qinghu coldly, Lin Mengya was actually touched.

However, she would never put on an amiable look in front of Qinghu, such a scheming person.

“Okay, I will comply with your wish.”

Qinghu probably knew Lin Mengya’s temper. Unfortunately, he could be cruel to anyone, but could only be obedient to her.

…

Perhaps, he had owed her something in the last life.

After he deftly untied the ropes with which Lin Mengya was tied up, she moved her wrists, which hurt a lot, and pinched Qinghu a few times before sitting down beside the carriage and staring at him with resentment.

“Hey, I didn’t mean to do that. You know, the Empress’s henchmen are really cunning. If I stopped pretending to be the coachman earlier, I will definitely expose my identity. Look, I’m ready to make amends for what I have done!”
