“Alright, I'm leaving. Be careful, Son.”
Qinghu stretched out her hand and stroked Lin Mengya's hair, as she raised her eyebrows and showed a gentle smile on her face.
Although it was just an ordinary gesture, to Long Tianhao it seemed that Qinghu was trying to challenge him.
"I knew. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself and protect myself.”
Lin Mengya knew clearly in her heart that she was the person Qinghu cared about the most.
Although Qinghu was usually reckless, she had always been very serious in terms of Lin Mengya's safety.
Qinghu nodded and stole another glance at the two men there before exiting the tent.
When he turned around, he realized Long Tianhao was shooting at him with a murderous look.
"Your highness?"
Lin Mengya called out to Prince Yu, with confusion in her eyes.
What did Long Tianhao look so displeased on this face? Could it be because their plan did not go smoothly?
"There's nothing. What are you asking Qinghu to do? ”
Normally, Long Tianhao was not the type to investigate the affairs of others.
He usually worked separately with Lin Mengya and usually left each other alone in their personal affairs.
Nevertheless, for some reason today, when he saw how intimate Qinghu and Lin Mengya were, he could not help feeling a little displeased.
He had a feeling that they shared a little secret but kept it away from him.
An awkward feeling appeared in the Prince's heart.
“This is okay.”
Lin Mengya did not think too much of it after pondering for a while, and she finally told her everything that had happened from the start.
"No one would ever hope that such a thing secretly diverting people would also happen in the Yue Family."
Long Qinghan exclaimed in surprise and shook his head after listening to Lin Mengya.
"Also? Has anyone else done it before?”
Lin Mengya noted that Long Qinghan did not sound too surprised by what she said.
Long Tianhao and Long Qinghan looked at each other for a moment and finally Long Tianhao said,
“Indeed, thirteen years ago, Your Majesty, my father liked a girl named Qing Lian. She was originally a singer in a court workshop who was later given the title of beauty queen. However, who would have thought that three years later, the temperament of Beauty Lian changed drastically and quickly made my father angry. As a result, he was dragged in limbo.”
So it turns out there was a case of precedent like that. Lin Mengya was surprised to know such things were happening in the palace.
“Then Beauty Lian committed suicide in limbo. However, no one expected that a very popular prostitute, who looked exactly like Beauty Lian, appeared at Ruyun's brothel in the capital. Furthermore, the people in the capital said that she went crazy and claimed that she used to be the Emperor's woman. ”
A beauty queen at the palace has been transposed and sent to a brothel to become the most popular prostitute.
Everyone who heard about this would think that this was unimaginable.
Moreover, the security in the palace was very tight, it was almost impossible to get out of the palace, let alone change beauty queens with other women.
So how did they manage to do it?
"Unless there are no suspicious clues left by the woman who died in limbo?"
Lin Mengya refused to believe that. For him, even identical twins will be different in some ways, be it a subtle difference.
Their temperament will be different. What could be most imagined was the fact that this even happened in the palace.
"No. He was placed in limbo because he caused injury to the Emperor. ”
Long Qinghan shook his head. This happened a long time ago, and the saying that there was a switch was just a wild guess from the people in the palace.
Long Tianhao and Long Qinghan were just young men back then.
Moreover, this incident was only wind news.
Although there were still some doubts in his mind, a bold idea began to form in Lin Mengya's mind.
“There must be countless mysteries within the palace. What was more urgent now was to catch the culprit behind Elder Sister Yueting's attack.”
Qinghu had gone to Yue old house to conduct her investigation and soon, she would return with that information.
Therefore the most important thing now was to achieve justice for Elder Sister Yueting.
“The news has spread far and wide and more than three groups of people have approached us for information this morning alone. However, these people are like crazy people, who are in conflict with secret agents.”
At this moment, there was a sly smile on the faces of Long Qinghan and Lin Mengya.
No wonder these people are trying so hard. If they managed to exterminate the witnesses, Lin Mengya would become a scapegoat after three days.
However, they did not expect that Lin Mengya was already fully prepared for this.
“It is not a good idea to delay three more days. At that time, even if there is no chaos between them, we will suffer great losses.”
Long Qinghan said, with a helpless expression on his face. Although secret agents were extremely skilled in martial arts, it was impossible for them to withstand the continuous waves of opponents.
Moreover, as time passed, those people would definitely increase their attacks to become even more ferocious.
"Then, Your Majesty must travel with me tonight."
Lin Mengya said with a mischievous smile on her face as she turned to look at Long Tianhao.
"Oh yeah, is there a Peach Blossom Dock killer among this wave of people?"
Lin Mengya suddenly recalled that Qinghu mentioned earlier that the assassins of the Peach Flower Pier had gathered at the foot of Lingju Mountain.
Moreover, the girls in the tent were truly Peach Blossom Dock assassins.
"Indeed. However, they had been hidden among other families. Without you reminding us, we will leave them.”
Long Qinghan nodded. For the past few days, he was indeed the one who gave instructions to the servants to dispose of the corpses of the enemies.
Before disposing of the corpses, they had been examined according to the way Lin Mengya had instructed, and they had indeed been found to be assassins.
“It's getting complicated. If the Peach Blossom Dock assassins were hidden among the other powerful families, it would not be easy to point out and expose them. ”
Frowning, Lin Mengya could completely understand what the phrase "before the first wave subsides, a new wave rises".
Even before the problems related to King Ming were solved, he had to worry about the intentions of the assassins of the Peach Flower Pier, which he still did not know about.
Little did he expect that a seemingly innocuous hunting trip would turn into something so complicated.
It was quite difficult for him to finish Elder Sister Yueting. Moreover, he did not know how to calm and comfort his own elder brother.
"Are you still thinking about things about Yueting?"
After they exited the tent, Long Tianhao asked Lin Mengya calmly.
Lin Mengya instinctively nodded. With his eyes down, he sighed and replied,
"Indeed, I don't know how I can explain this to my older brother."
Despite her belief in her brother that she was not a superficial person, she could not deny the fact that Elder Sister Yueting's humility had been violated. She was afraid that her engagement with her older brother would break down.
“Your brother won't blame you for this. I've already sent word to the Mingyue monastery outside the capital. Yueting can go there to recuperate.”
In Dajin, the girls who engaged in dishonorable behavior, not to mention their politeness being violated, would greatly worry their reputation.
Not to mention getting married to Yueting, she could be overwhelmed by scandalous rumors once she returned to the capital.
"Does that mean a girl's good name can be preserved just by staying in a convent?"
Lin Mengya could not come to terms with that idea. To him, the woman whose decency was violated was the victim.
Do these women not deserve the sympathy and understanding of others? Why should these miserable young women be accused and whipped by others?
“I know how much you can't bear for this to happen, but if he goes back to the capital, and we take him to our house, he will still be the target of finger-pointing. Based on Yueting's nature, do you think he can accept it?”
Long Tianhao's eyes were filled with gentleness as if he could truly sympathize with Lin Mengya's pain.
Although she was a strong woman, she was often troubled by the problems that people around her faced.
Somehow, Long Tianhao even thought that he looked extremely adorable for behaving like this.
“If you think he'll be lonely in the convent, I can arrange for him to stay in the private courtyard, so he can enjoy the peace and solitude. What do you think?"
Before this, Long Tianhao had never been so considerate of anyone. He was now very wise just because Yueting was a good friend of Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya forced a sad smile on her face and nodded. He tried hard not to look troubled.
However, deep down, he still had a wishful thinking that Big Brother Yueting and his older brother would be a loving couple.
It seems almost impossible now.
Due to the series of events that happened in turn, following the Yue Ting and Hu Lunan incidents, the security at the camp had been increased.
Many noble families of the subjects in the well-connected court began to swarm together.
It's safer to gather together in one place.
Other than Prince Yu's tent, the other families more or less gathered in the lawn.
Therefore, when Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao returned to their tent, they were surprised to find that the grass around their tent was deliberately left empty by others.
Baiji, who was looking at them from afar, had raised the curtain to the tent for them.
The four maids and Lin Zhongyu had accompanied Yueting all day in the tent.
After Lin Mengya's visit to Uncle Yue, it was a way to tell her that Yueqi would officially stay with her.
Because what she should be. Yue might not even be Miss. Yue, it would be risky for Yueqi to stay with him.
Therefore, Master Yue officially entrusted Yueqi in Lin Mengya's care.
Elder Sister Yueting was still sound asleep in bed when they returned. Although the imperial healers had prescribed a large amount of medicine for him, they did not seem to have any effect on him.
The night before, a fever had come to Elder Sister Yueting without any reason. After an entire day, he was much weaker compared to when he first came.
"What's going on? Has the fever not subsided?”
Shaking his head, Lin Mengya asked Yueqi who had remained by the bedside all this time.
"Yet. The imperial physician said he may have had some wounds that had not healed and had turned into septic, so that his fever did not subside. If we do not directly apply antiseptic drugs on the wound, it is useless to take oral medication.”
With the help of Baishao and the other servants, they inspected every inch of Elder Sister Yueting's body, but were unable to find any open wounds.
Lin Mengya chewed her lips. He thought of one place in Yueting's body that no one else would think of.
“Your Highness, Prince, please take Xiaoyu with you and leave the tent for now. Baiji, Baishao, prepare a big basin for me. Baizhi, boil the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician and put it in a basin with water.”
