Chapter 660 The Evil Monk’s Attack

In the woodshed, Lin Mengya was calmly analyzing the current situation.

The Empress’s people were keeping watch closely outside. At least on the surface, she could not find faults with the Empress.

It would take at least two more days to complete the religious ceremony. Combined with the preparation time for returning to the city, she would have to endure for at least another three days in the woodshed.

The only urgent thing that worried her now was that no one could send the news of her being locked up to Long Tianyu.

The Empress would definitely make sure that no one in the temple spread this news. Moreover, Hongyu and the others were probably being watched.

Their only chance of contact with the outside world was when Qinghu made occasional visits to the courtyard where she lived.

If even Qinghu did not get the chance to go to her courtyard, she would be in an even more passive position.

“Your Highness, your dinner is here. Please enjoy it.”

While she was thinking, a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from outside.

Lin Mengya looked in the direction of the door that was pushed open, and saw an old maid who served the madam that lived near her courtyard.

Lin Mengya was confused, wondering why she came here.

“But who are you?”

With the light behind her back, the old maid’s smile looked particularly sincere.

She was dressed neatly in a blue flowered dress.

“I’m Madam Zhuang’s maid. Don’t worry, Your Highness. Madam Zhuang said that she would arrange everything well. Please don’t worry about the girls in your courtyard.”

The old maid dropped her voice to a whisper.

At her words, Lin Mengya was a little surprised.

Madam Zhuang lived in the meditation room next door to hers, but she had no contact with her except that they had met once when they first moved in.

Lin Mengya did not know why Madam Zhuang’s maid would send her a message.

This was so unusual that she was on her guard.

“Thank you very much.”

She was cautious and didn’t say anything else, but the old maid gave her a friendly smile.

“Never mind. I’ll take my leave first.”

The old maid no longer whispered but raised her voice.

Lin Mengya also nodded cautiously while her left hand gripped the small note the old maid had just slipped her.

The old maid left, and the door of the woodshed was tightly closed again.

Lin Mengya quietly stuffed the note under the straw. Having made sure that the food was not poisonous, she began to eat.

Beauty Cheng’s incident had taught her a lesson. She had not only checked the food with the radar of the Shen Nung system, but also tested its ingredients.

As the test showed that there was no problem with the food, Lin Mengya started to pig out on the tasteless vegetarian food.

Since she had been locked up here, of course, she would not abuse herself. At least, she would have the strength to work when she was full.

Naturally, someone would come to take the bowls and chopsticks away. The old maid didn’t seem to arouse suspicion. Lin Mengya didn’t know how she did that.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the room and that the guards outside seemed to be less vigilant than in the daytime, she found the note she had hidden under the straw.

Under the moonlight, Lin Mengya could vaguely see the contents on the note.

Surprisingly, there was no word on it; instead, there was big, round taro drawn in an extremely vivid style.

It was him! It was from Long Tianyu!

Lin Mengya almost laughed out loud. It was so funny that Prince Yu, who had always been unsmiling, could come up with such an idea!

Lin Mengya suppressed her smile and hid the small note that was painted with a taro.

She felt sweet in the heart, sweeter than when she had a taro with some sugar.

Taro was the nickname she gave him even though she hadn’t called him that many times. She would only call him that when they were alone.

With this note, Lin Mengya understood whom Madam Zhuang worked for.

Sure enough, Long Tianyu would never let her risk her life alone.

He had Madam Zhuang as his inside man. But Lin Mengya was afraid that it was difficult for Madam Zhuang to send a message out because of the Empress’s tight guard.

What was more, it was dangerous enough to let the old maid come and see her. If Madam Zhuang was exposed because of this, the loss would outweigh the gain.

It didn’t matter. As long as she knew Long Tianyu’s concern for her, Lin Mengya would be happy even though she was in danger.

People in prison often put on a long face, and few people could be as calm as Lin Mengya.

In the twinkling of an eye, a day and a night had passed.

During this period, Princess Tiancheng once sent someone to visit her, in addition to the people sent by the Empress to bring her food.

To be honest, Lin Mengya had a very bad impression of this princess who acted as if she knew her well.

Therefore, even though the person the princess sent here secretly told Lin Mengya that the princess could help her send a message to Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya still refused politely and pretended to be fearless of death for a just cause.

She was not stupid enough to engage in a dangerous game.

In addition to this, everything was peaceful and calm.

At this time, it was the evening of the third day, and the religious ceremony was coming to an end.

The work of these madams was almost over.

The rest of the work was up to the monks.

Having been locked up here for two whole days, Lin Mengya had never seen anyone from her yard. The guard outside the woodshed was not lax at all.

Lin Mengya was as cautious as before because she knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

All of a sudden, a very clear sound of knocking wooden fish came from the courtyard.

Through the crack in the door, Lin Mengya saw several familiar figures walking into the courtyard.

Walking at the head was the creepy Monk Yunshen and he was knocking on a wooden fish.

But Lin Mengya could tell at a glance that the painted “wooden fish” wrapped in wood skin was actually made of a person’s skull.

After all, the shape of the skull could not be changed.

What an evil monk! He even used a wooden fish made of a skull! What scriptures did he chant?!

Behind Monk Yunshen were two figures in black.

Lin Mengya could barely recognize that one of them was Princess Tiancheng. As for the other, the person seemed to be walking unnaturally with stiff limbs.

Lin Mengya was in the woodshed, but Yunshen seemed to be able to see where she was through the door.

The monk’s thin lips curved slightly. In the dusk, Yunshen’s smile gradually grew bigger, but his pretty face made Lin Mengya’s hair stand on end.

“All right, you can leave now. We’re here. You don’t need to worry about her running away.”

As expected, it was Princess Tiancheng!

One of the figures in black suddenly ordered.

Immediately, the palace servants who were guarding the woodshed left in silence.

At this moment, Lin Mengya really hoped that they could stay. After all, she would be frightened when facing the evil monk alone.

“Master Yunshen, they’re gone. It’s time for you to work. Don’t let my mother wait too long. She doesn’t have much patience.”

Princess Tiancheng casually lifted the black hood.

At this moment, a smile of extreme derision came over her beautiful face.

Yunshen only shot a glance at her, and then his eyes showed a look of obsession.

“Your heart is really the most beautiful poison in the world. Unfortunately, you are unwilling to give it to me.”

His voice carried a deep sense of melancholy and deepness.

His soft sigh sounded as if he was speaking parts of a Chinese opera, and it was enough to win the heart of any girl.

However, Lin Mengya only felt cold all over.

It was because those sentimental words were not just whispers of love.

“Master, you’re not qualified to win my heart with your current qualifications. But if you’re willing to be obedient, perhaps I will consider it.”

A smug look suddenly appeared on Tiancheng’s face.

She must have thought that Monk Yunshen had fallen for her.

Yunshen suddenly smiled gently.

“Yes, maybe one day you’ll be willing to give it to me.”

Yunshen turned around, and his long, deep eyes pierced straight into Lin Mengya’s soul through the door. “Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust. The soul from the other shore, please leave now!”

All of a sudden, the strange fragrance that had once quivered Lin Mengya’s soul swept over her again.

Lin Mengya had thought that she was done for, but to her surprise, the white bead hanging on her lower abdomen slowly emitted warmth at this moment.

It was a kind of warmth that had nothing to do with temperature.

It made her feel calm as water, no more panic, and no more pain.

Lin Mengya gradually closed her eyes and sat back against the straw pile with ease.

Everything that had happened since she came to this world seemed to flash before her eyes, including scenes of separation and death, as well as her emotions.

She was like a bystander, quietly comprehending all of these things.

She was not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses. For some reason, she felt as if she had seen through the world and had a sense of vicissitudes.

Like an old monk who had entered a meditative state, Lin Mengya had no perception of the outside world at all.

She didn’t know why she had such a feeling, but she felt very happy.

Gradually, the feeling faded away. She did not know how long it had been, but when she woke up again, the strange fragrance suddenly turned into a rotten smell of burnt corpses.

When she looked at the extremely evil yet handsome monk again, he gradually aged, his face was covered with deep wrinkles looking as if they were carved by a knife, and then he became an extremely ugly person.

It all happened in an instant.

However, Lin Mengya understood Yunshen’s tricks in this instant.

“Alas, you don’t have to play any more tricks. I’ve already seen through them. It’s not late for you to stop.”

Yunshen, who was knocking on the wooden fish while chanting scriptures, suddenly heard Lin Mengya’s voice coming from inside.

There was no pain or weakness in her voice.

There was only extremely calm in it.
