Chapter 776 Win Victory in the Ensuing Chaos

Break the current situation?!

Wanyan Lie now thought that Lin Mengya was talking fantastic nonsense.

Back when the Emperor just ascended the throne, he was even unable to decide which woman to marry.

The Emperor had refrained himself in the past 20 years for the current situation.

Didn’t breaking the current situation mean that they had to start all over again?

Watching Wanyan Lie glaring at her, Lin Mengya realized that he obviously was mentally rigid.

She organized her thoughts before she slowly spoke to enlighten him who was inflexible in his thinking.

“Your Excellency, you must think I’m crazy. But I would like to ask you a question. In the current situation, does Xiaoyu have a more than 40% chance of inheriting the throne?” Lin Mengya asked.

How could the other forces lie around when the Emperor painstakingly worked on his cause?

Moreover, no matter how talented Xiaoyu was, he could only build the basic foundation by accumulation over a long period when it came to competing for the throne.

Wanyan Lie stared seriously at Lin Mengya’s dark eyes for a long while before he shook his head bitterly.

If they had not taken the risk and implanted the Golden Silk Venomous Insects, which had been worshiped by the royals for generations, in Xiaoyu’s body, Xiaoyu would not have had even a 10% chance now, not to mention a 40% chance.

“But His Majesty is in good health now, and young master still has a chance. Miss Lin, we need to think it over,” Wanyan Lie said.

In terms of seniority, he was indeed more knowledgeable about the stratagems at the imperial court than her who engaged in this late in life.

But as a spectator, Lin Mengya saw the situation more thoroughly and accurately than him.

“That’s true. Given His Majesty’s health condition, he has no problem living another 50 to 60 years. Then Xiaoyu may gain more support, but the other forces have long built a solid foundation and may even get tired of presenting a false appearance of peace one day. When the time comes, are you capable of turning the tide?” Lin Mengya said.

Xiaoyu’s father and seniors had pursued their goal “steadily” all along.

They did nothing wrong. At least, at that time, they drew in their claws and managed to disguise themselves, a fierce tiger, as a docile sheep for the sake of developing their force.

The shift in the balance of power among several forces led to the current situation.

Nevertheless, the other forces were not fools. Since they were capable of supporting the Emperor, they could presumably control him.

If the Emperor let them go on like this, it would probably be difficult for him to achieve his goal. Moreover, as the losers who were always in the wrong, Xiaoyu and his parents would probably be in peril.

As such, if they wanted to win, they had to take a risky move.

Hearing her words, Wanyan Lie was deep in thought.

She knew that it would not be easy to convince them to take her advice, but in any case, they should set about doing this.

“Moreover, killing the priests of those tribes will definitely arouse public anger. Then everyone’s attention will be attracted by those tribes, and no one will have time to keep an eye on you. I heard that the tribes in the Lieyun Empire are extremely tough. If your men do it perfectly, it may lead to an unexpected result. If the murderer remains at large, who do you think is to blame?” Lin Mengya added, like a fox skillfully teaching a wolf to hunt.

Wanyan Lie was smart. With his eyes suddenly lighting up, he seemed to have understood what Lin Mengya meant.

“I’ll... I’ll report it to His Majesty. No matter if your advice is taken or not, I know you mean well. I may trouble you to take care of the affairs in the imperial palace. Young Master, you’d better take Miss Lin back, so as not to attract others’ attention,” he said.

Then he and Lin Mengya nodded at each other, reaching a preliminary consensus.

After that, under the protection of Xiaoyu, Lin Mengya smoothly got out of the mansion where they met.

It was dusk by the time they got out. Lin Mengya wrapped herself in a cloak, and no one could recognize her.

It was only when the two of them returned to the imperial palace without being noticed that Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, they learned Wanyan Lie’s visit to the imperial palace to meet the Emperor.

Lin Mengya was secretly delighted. In this way, the thing was half done.

“Sometimes I’m really confused why you didn’t tell my father directly about it, sister.” In the side chamber of the Fengyu Court, Xiaoyu said with a disapproving look.

Lin Mengya had even kept this secret from him. If she intended to persuade his father to take her advice, wasn’t it more convenient to tell him?

Lin Mengya reached out to gently smooth his long greyish white hair with some regret in her eyes.

With his greyish white hair that was too dull, he did not look like a spirited young man at all.

She wondered if there was any prescription capable of turning his greyish white hair back into black in the music score for the green stringed instrument. She had heard that eating black sesame seeds and walnuts worked, but she was not sure if it was true.

“Sister, you zoned out again!” Xiaoyu shook Lin Mengya’s sleeve helplessly and said with an aggrieved look in his eyes.

He had worked so hard. Why did his sister still treat him like a child?

“Oh, I didn’t tell your father directly because I know little about the situation here. If I put it forward rashly, he will have to talk over the details with Wanyan Lie. I think Wanyan Lie is a thoughtful person. After I put it forward, he will definitely make proper preparations before reporting it to your father. You may find an excuse to stay in the imperial palace for a period. Remember, it’s best for you to bring your trusted subordinates on the surface with you. If you can’t, tell them to show up in the Capital City frequently. Got it?” Lin Mengya said.

She supposed that Wanyan Lie would definitely do it perfectly.

But given this, it required them to be scheming and good at acting when they used it as a favor at the end.

She asked Xiaoyu to bring his trusted subordinates to the imperial palace and stay for a period, mainly because she wanted to make the royals in the Capital City his witnesses to prevent those aristocratic families from setting him up in secret to please the tribes when they tried to find out the real murderer.

She thought about all these for Xiaoyu’s safety.

Unexpectedly, he gave a particularly brilliant smile when he heard she ask him to stay in the imperial palace.

“Okay, I’ll move here right away! I have a yard outside the Fengyu Court, and it communicates with the Fengyu Court. Sister, wait for me. I’ll go back to my mansion to pack up immediately!” Xiaoyu said.

Lin Mengya could not help but smile when she saw him dash out.

Since she returned to this time space, she had enjoyed the most joyful and carefree time in the Liuxin Courtyard with her four maidservants and Xiaoyu who was a youngster.

Now looking back, she realized that she and Long Tianyu had actually fallen for each other since then.

Nevertheless, back then, he was taciturn, while she was muddle-headed, so they had wasted so much time.

At the thought of Long Tianyu, she felt a deep affection for him.

However, lost in her affection for him for a moment, she failed to suppress her sorrow that crushed her beautiful memories like a huge stone.

Damn the Candle Dragon Cult! Damn the relics of the Guwei State!

But she had no other choice. Only by completely eliminating all later trouble could she and Long Tianyu live happily ever after.

In the Shen Nung system, a detailed map was quietly unfolded on the page.

Lin Mengya closed her eyes. Although the original map was still in the cave on the Qijue Peak, even if someone got it, he might not be able to read it.

In fact, if it were not for the help of the Shen Nung system, she would not have been able to read the densely packed parameters on the map.

Only by taking the parameters into consideration could the Shen Nung system construct a 3D map model.

This drawing technique was not rare in modern times, but ordinary people in this time and space would not be able to read this kind of map.

Under such dual protection, very few people could get the map and decipher it.

However, she was confused by one thing.

Elder Qian had once told her that he and his clansmen were born for protecting the relics of the Guwei State. That was to say, they were supposed to prevent the relics of the Guwei State from being found by those who were not supposed to find them.

But if the Guwei State disappeared overnight, who handed down the map and the music score for green stringed instrument?

Could it be that someone had found the relics of the Guwei State and intended to pass them down to his descendants?

If that was the case, the relics of the Guwei State would have been taken away long ago. Didn’t the map in her hands turn out to be a joke?

Moreover, both the Candle Dragon Cult and the Emperor of the Jin State were sure that the relics of the Guwei State still existed.

Given all these, Lin Mengya was full of conflicted feelings about the relics of the Guwei State.

Now she was only sure of one thing: no matter if the relics of the Guwei State existed or not, she had to solve this problem thoroughly. Otherwise, it would ruin her life like a bomb sooner or later.

After the map model was constructed, Lin Mengya fetched a map of the Lieyun Empire that she found time to buy on the street.

The map she got from the jade ruler was enormous, and the entire Lieyun Empire only occupied a quarter of its space.

After magnifying the Lieyun Empire’s area marked on the map she got from the jade ruler and overlapping it and the map of the Lieyun Empire, Lin Mengya finally found the place marked with a key.

It was a place called Lingwu Mountain in the Lieyun Empire.

Although its location was marked on the map, it was not detailed.

Lin Mengya slowly opened her eyes and put away the map in her mind, thinking, “It seems that I have to ask someone about this.”

Fortunately, Xiaoyu was going to move to the imperial palace soon, so Lin Mengya was not worried about how to get the information she wanted.

This time, she followed Xiaoyu to the Lieyun Empire in order to find the key. If she could help Xiaoyu to inherit the throne at the same time, she certainly would not refuse to kill two birds with one stone.

Estimating that Madame Jingrou, who had gone out to check on the situation, probably had returned to the Fengyu Court at the moment, Lin Mengya hurried out to meet her.

After waiting for a while, she didn’t see Madame and Ningqiu, so she was confused and took a few steps out of the Fengyu Court.

There came some noises from the path outside the Fengyu Court. Lin Mengya, who seemed to have heard Ningqiu’s voice, subconsciously took a few steps forward and saw Madame’s dark blue palace dress at the corner.
