Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 671 - Deprive Her of Her Position

Chapter 671 Deprive Her of Her Position

“Miss, what should we do? The Lin’s Mansion is in a mess, and the Eldest Young Master… has been taken to the prison of the Capital Governor!”
Baizhi came from the Lin Family, so she naturally worried about the Lin Family as Lin Mengya did.
Seeing her anxious look, Lin Mengya forced herself to calm down.
Her brother’s personal guard could come to deliver a message, which meant that her brother was not under full control.
Although he had been sent to the prison of the Capital Governor, he could still have a way to pass messages.
Perhaps her brother had his plan. For fear that she would be worried, he did not send anyone to tell her about it until the last moment.
But since her brother sent a message for help, she had to calm down. Otherwise, both her brother and she herself would be trapped.
“All of you, go and do as I told you. My brother has been sent to prison, so we can’t make any mistakes.”
After dismissing Baizhi and the other girls, Lin Mengya forced herself to sit in the chair with her mind occupied with all kinds of thoughts.
“What are you going to do now? To enter the imperial palace to meet His Majesty or to turn to Long Tianyu?”
Qinghu said the very thing Lin Mengya was thinking about.
But Lin Mengya was clear that without the permission of the Emperor, no one dared to arrest her brother, a military officer, unless they indeed had found ironclad evidence against her brother and even the Emperor couldn’t absolve him of guilt.
Moreover, judging from the Emperor’s ordering her father to return to the Capital City, he must be in a rage.
“Miss, there’s a visitor, Eunuch Yu, who said that he came to announce the imperial edict on His Majesty’s order,” Hongyu said with a confused look.
Lin Mengya was also confused.
At this time, Long Tianyu should be discussing official business with the Emperor in the imperial study. What kind of imperial edict had to be announced now?
Besides, Eunuch Yu—
Lin Mengya suddenly remembered a thin person. Could he be the Eunuch Yu she knew?
“Invite him in. I’m going to meet him right away.”
After saying that, Lin Mengya adjusted her clothes. The Eunuch Yu who she knew was an old acquaintance of her father.
When she treated the Emperor in the imperial palace, he had taken good care of her.
If the visitor was the Eunuch Yu who she knew, she could feel a little relieved.
She got out of her courtyard and went to the parlor, followed by a few maids.
As she expected, the person sitting in the chair was the Eunuch Yu Qiang who she knew.
However, Eunuch Yu, whose sharp eyebrows were tightly knitted, seemed to be gloomy with worry at this time.
Lin Mengya felt that something was wrong. But now, she could only let nature take its course.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Seeing you still in high spirits, I’m so glad.”
Hearing Lin Mengya’s voice coming in from outside, Yu Qiang immediately got up from the chair, bowed to her respectfully, and said, “I’m flattered. Your Highness, it’s urgent, so please get ready to listen to the imperial edict.”
“Urgent?” Lin Mengya thought with a frown but still led her maids to kneel in front of Yu Qiang.
Looking at Lin Mengya, the daughter of his old friend, Yu Qiang could only shake his head gently, and then unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict in his hands and began to read it.
“Although the Third Princess is from a notable family, she behaved improperly. Nevertheless, considering that the contributions she has made can offset her faults, I decide to deprive her of her position as the Princess and relegate her to a vice Princess. Besides, she should stay home to introspect her fault, and she’s not allowed to enter the imperial palace without being summoned. That’s all.”
The imperial edict brought by Yu Qiang aroused Lin Mengya’s fury.
It was no wonder that her brother did not send anyone to inform her until they found ironclad evidence against him. It was no wonder that Long Tianyu was summoned to the imperial palace early in the morning. It was no wonder that the Emperor insisted on summoning her father back from the border area, regardless of the dangerous situation there.
It turned out that at this moment, the Lin Family had become the battleground of the fight between the Emperor and the Empress.
She felt bitterly disappointed. Even if the Emperor disregarded that she had saved his life, he should have given the Lin Family a chance of survival for the sake of her father’s loyalty to him over the years.
Unexpectedly, being close to the Emperor was like being close to a tiger. Both she and her father were just chips the Emperor used to gain benefits.
“Your Highness, I know that this is really hard to accept. But now the situation is critical. I hope you could understand that His Majesty has to make this decision,” Yu Qiang said.
He couldn’t bear to see the woman in front of him show a distressed expression.
However, his life in the imperial palace over the years had enabled him to see through everything.
The Emperor’s favor wouldn’t last forever. Especially in recent years, he, who had fought alongside the Emperor, found that he could no longer figure out what was going on in the Emperor’s mind.
For example, this time, the Emperor not only ignored Lin Nansheng’s explanation but even summoned Lin Muzhi back with an imperial edict.
Now for fear that his son would be implicated, the Emperor deprived Lin Mengya of her position as the Princess.
Wasn’t the Emperor trying to push the Lin Family into a hopeless situation?
However, Yu Qiang couldn’t disobey the Emperor’s order. Since Lin Mengya had to learn the Emperor’s order, he would rather be the one announcing the imperial edict.
“Of course, please convey my gratitude towards His Majesty. Thank you for your hard work. I, Lin Mengya, accept this imperial edict. Go to fetch the imperial edict in which His Majesty announced the marriage between Prince Yu and me, as well as my ceremonial robe.”
As Lin Mengya spoke, she stretched out her hands and took the imperial edict from Yu Qiang.
Meanwhile, she could not help sneering.
In fact, when they were in the Nation of Lintian, Cousin Chen had told her to be careful of Emperor Jin Yuan.
She didn’t expect that his words turned out to be a prophecy, but in fact, she wasn’t very surprised.
Yu Qiang said, “Uh, keep your ceremonial robe. Your Highness, you know that the situation in the imperial court is unstable now. Your brother’s being sent to prison has caused turmoil in the imperial court. In fact, His Majesty has to do this because…”
“Of course, I know that His Majesty has no other choice. Don’t worry. Although I’m young and not sensible enough, I can understand why His Majesty has to do this. Therefore, I won’t put you in a difficult situation. Nevertheless, I still have some domestic affairs to deal with, so I won’t keep you here. Please tell His Majesty that I’ve accepted the imperial edict, and convey my gratitude towards His Majesty,” Lin Mengya said.
It was reasonable for Lin Mengya to vent her anger on him. Yu Qiang also thought that the Emperor shouldn’t have done this. After a sigh, he finally got up and left.
Lin Mengya held the imperial edict with a gloomy face.
Meanwhile, her maids flew into a rage.
“The Emperor is so ungrateful! Back then, he forced Miss to marry Prince Yu despite her reluctance. But when the Lin Family gets into trouble, he first punished Miss!” Baizhi said furiously.
She knew very well how the Emperor put pressure on the Lin Family and how Lin Mengya was forced into the bridal sedan chair.
Now, as soon as the Eldest Young Master was framed, the Emperor deprived Lin Mengya of her position she managed to entrench. Naturally, Baizhi felt indignant about the way her master had been treated.
Hongyu, who kept staring at Lin Mengya, asked, “Miss, are you okay?”
Although Lin Mengya seemed to be expressionless, she had been holding the imperial edict with great strength so that her knuckles had turned pale. Obviously, her mind was occupied with all kinds of inexplicable thoughts.
“I’m fine. I couldn’t be better!”
Good! The Emperor had made quite a good move!
Lin Mengya was almost amazed at how cruel the Emperor could be.
Wasn’t he trying to regain the military power from the Lin Family?
However, the Empress was also after the military power. She was wondering into whose hands this hot potato would eventually fall.
Since the Emperor treated the Lin Family unfairly, she would fight back!
Since the Emperor and the Empress wanted to sacrifice the Lin Family, she would make them pay for it.
“Come on, take all my belongings in Prince Yu’s Mansion back to the Lin’s Mansion! Follow me back to the Lin’s Mansion, all of you. If anyone asks about it, just tell them that I go home to learn discipline on His Majesty’s order!”
No one expected Lin Mengya to respond in this way.
All the servants looked at her in a daze, thinking that she must be joking.
“Come on, move! Also, leave all the things His Majesty gave me before so that they could remind Prince Yu of me!”
Lin Mengya spoke furiously, but she knew one thing better than anyone else.
Long Tianyu certainly did not know about the imperial edict. Moreover, he was probably kept in the imperial palace by the Emperor with various reasons.
Otherwise, the Emperor would not have rushed to instruct Yu Qiang, an acquaintance of hers, to announce the imperial edict.
The Emperor intended to deprive her of her position before Long Tianyu knew it. As soon as the imperial edict was announced, she and Long Tianyu could only be obedient.
In that case, the Emperor couldn’t blame her for taking a drastic measure to fight back!
She had saved the Emperor’s life. If the Emperor had forgotten it, she would remind him of it, lest he should live too comfortably.
Lin Mengya had never been so furious. In the past, she had cared about the overall situation so much that the Emperor had an illusion that he could manipulate her.
The Lin Family was indeed loyal to the Emperor. Her father and elder brother were willing to die on the battlefield for the country without regretting it.
Nevertheless, it did not mean that the Lin Family could be manipulated by the Emperor!
Clenching the imperial edict in her hands, Lin Mengya sneered in her heart.
She wanted the Emperor to know that he shouldn’t have issued the imperial edict. Now she was going to mess up the entire Dajin!
“Qinghu, send someone to tell my father to resign from his position in the Ministry of War as soon as he returns to the Capital City. Also, send a letter to Zuo Qiuchen to tell him that I have officially accepted the title of the Commandery Princess, no, the Princess of the Nation of Lintian! Hurry up. Remember to send your trusted followers rather than the members of the Sanjue Hall.”
Qinghu looked at Lin Mengya, who was getting increasingly composed, with a bright smile.
“Yes. The old Emperor thinks you are a docile lamb. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know that he has pissed off a lion with hidden claws and fangs.”
