At dawn, the servants responsible for delivering the news brought the news that the Lian Mansion was broken into last night and was later blown up with explosives.

Although the house was in a mess, not to mention the property, not even a single beam was left that was relatively intact.

Lin Mengya couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that she had reacted in time, otherwise her family would have been completely destroyed.

Maybe it's because everyone in the family was evacuated in time, and there were no visible casualties, or maybe it's because even the master and Lian Sheng are not here.

Over the course of one night, Lian Xing seemed to have grown up suddenly.

Take care of everything in an orderly manner. ??

Although he is still a little immature, he is completely different from the usual playful and noisy second son.

Dragon City was in a mess, and there were many problems left behind by the explosion.

Fortunately, Huang Zun and Hou Zun did not only care about their own safety, but sent officials to deal with the matter as soon as possible.

Overall, the situation is fairly stable.

Early in the morning, Lin Mengya quietly went out.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, and everyone looked in a hurry.

Lin Mengya also dressed up very simply and would not attract too much attention from others.

Bai Su didn't follow her either. After Lin Mengya made sure there was no one around her, she ducked into the twisted alley not far away.

After last night, there were very few people living here.

The city gate was sealed immediately, but because it was so close to the incident, the residents here went to live with relatives and friends a little further away.

Occasionally, there are one or two households that have not been moved out, but their doors are closed and no one is heard.

There was silence all around, and there was no trace of the past.

Lin Mengya walked outside a courtyard whose door was also closed, and knocked gently on the door.

Inside, someone immediately opened a small gap.

After seeing it was her, the door opened immediately, and she quickly ducked in.

"The eldest lady is here, and the fourth young master is going crazy with anxiety. If you don't come, I'm afraid he will go to find you himself!"

The one who spoke was Gong Ping, who had quietly stayed in the yard yesterday.

Yesterday during the day, Gong Si happened to arrive in Longdu.

However, he said that he wanted to meet his friends first, and originally planned to meet them in the evening, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.

The courtyard where they are now is the residence of Gong Si's friend.

Seeing Gong Ya finally appear, Gong Si, who had been restless all morning, could finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my little sister is fine.

The owner of the small courtyard is very considerate. This is the backyard of his house, and probably because he was afraid of disturbing the reunion of his brother and sister, he did not show up.

Gong Si immediately welcomed Lin Mengya in and carefully

After some cross-examination, and after confirming that both she and Gong Wu were fine, his brows softened slightly.

And Lin Mengya also told her worries clearly.

Gong Si thought for a moment and then said.

"You mean that the Emperor and the Queen are likely to put this matter on our shoulders?"

"It's hard to say." Lin Mengya shook her head, "I think that for this kind of thing, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go. I helped her last night, but only her people knew about it.

Even if they turn their backs and deny me, I don’t care at all.”

Since ancient times, how can the royal family have any credibility?

Today, if your Holiness says that she is a savior, then she is loyal, but if he says that she is a rebellious person, then she will also become a traitor.

The winning streak can prove it for himself, but the current situation of the Lian family may not be much better than theirs.

That's why Lin Mengya found it difficult.

But Gong Si didn't seem too worried about this matter.

"You don't have to worry. I'm very confident that my queen will never make things difficult for you. And if nothing else happens, she will probably find a way to win over you."

Win her over?

Lin Mengya looked at Gong Si in confusion. Could it be that he knew some inside information?

"Do you know who the people who died this time are?"

"It was so chaotic last night that I didn't have time to take a closer look, but there were definitely more people from aristocratic families. There weren't many civilians on that street at that time."

Gong Si looked at her and nodded.

"That's right. Most of those who died were attached to the royal family, or were from families that were friendly with the royal family."

Gong Si's words made Lin Mengya understand something immediately.

"So, the purpose of those fanatics is not the royal family, but to weaken their power?"

Gong Si hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently and agreed with her statement.

"Could it be possible that the Three Kings did this?"

As far as the current situation is concerned, the three kings are the most likely.

After all, once the royal family declines, they will have greater possibilities.

But what he didn't expect was that Gong Si sighed.

"If it were the Three Kings, things would be easier to handle."

Not the Three Kings? The top ten aristocratic families would not do such a thing. After all, no matter how meticulous they are, once they are found out, they will not be able to withstand the revenge of the entire country.

Moreover, there are three kings under the royal family, so it is not cost-effective for them to do it.

Could it be said that -

"Yes, it is very possible that the Weiguo people are the most

Made for that place of reverence.”

Lin Mengya saw a cold smile on the corner of Gong Si's mouth.

She rarely saw her fourth brother smiling like this. In front of her, although he was not as sunny and outgoing as Gong Wu, he was still a gentle and elegant young man.

But now, she could clearly see that there was a bit of coldness in the smile at the corner of his mouth.

That was his hidden murderous intention!

"But, they have no reason to do this? And isn't the prince one of the candidates for the next temple master?"

Gong Si looked at her with some struggle in his expression.

But in the end, he couldn't resist Lin Mengya, so he could only think for a while before speaking in a low voice.

"Do you know why Weiguo has maintained this pattern for thousands of years?"

Lin Mengya shook her head. In fact, she also felt a little strange.

After all, a situation like one emperor and three kings would have collapsed long ago if it were placed elsewhere.

How could there be only one Weiguo in such a vast territory?

She had a hunch that maybe what the fourth brother told her next was the deepest thing hidden under the surface of Weiguo.

"That may be because of the temple. Although I have no conclusive evidence, everything I have investigated over the years is inextricably linked to the temple."

"What are you investigating?"

Gong Si looked at her intently and spoke word by word.

"That's why my family sent their daughter to the trial site in person and never allowed her to come back."

Grandma, didn’t you leave on your own?

At this moment, Lin Mengya knew that from now on, many things she already knew would undergo earth-shaking changes.

"Ya'er, don't think about anything now. You just need to lead the Gong family well and return to glory. I will handle the other things. The Gong family is the bargaining chip for us to make a comeback."

Gong Si's words made Lin Mengya unable to recover.

However, she soon gave up the idea of ​​questioning.

This matter is so important that not even Gong Si can figure out the reason.

But it is enough for her to know that the temple is the greatest danger.

"That makes sense. We only have the Gong family. Even if we really have to confront the temple in the future, only the Gong family is our strength."

"Yes, so this time, you have to seize the opportunity."

Gong Si was a little excited. He never expected that Gong Ya would actually get the chance to do something that he had worked so hard to achieve in the past.

"I see."
