Chapter 623 Prevent Trouble Before It Happens

Despite the doubts in her heart, the only person Lin Mengya could trust at present was Qinghu.

For the sake of Long Tianyu’s health, she nodded solemnly.

“That’s right. Do what you get to do. I’ll go out for a walk.”

Qinghu found his chance, and jumped out of the carriage when he was on the point of bursting into laughter.

It was not until he was a mile away, sure that no one could hear him, that a burst of laughter, loud enough to be heard all over the world, poured out of Qinghu’s mouth uncontrollably.

Ahahaha—

It was so interesting. Qinghu didn’t expect that this girl, who had always been smart, would really believe his words.

He wiped the corners of his eyes from the uncontrollable tears of laughter.

“Long Tianyu, oh Long Tianyu, I hope that it won’t scar you for life,” Qinghu thought.

“Well, it seems that I should control it. If Long Tianyu is impotent, the girl will be no better than a widow.”

A chill quietly crept up to Long Tianyu’s back.

He subconsciously looked into the horse carriage, feeling a little uneasy.

“Speed up, and be careful.”

Long Tianyu thought perhaps he was too sensitive.

The journey was undisturbed, and naturally it went very smoothly.

But these days, Long Tianyu always felt the look in Lin Mengya’s eyes was a little weird.

But he couldn’t tell what it was. In short, as soon as he saw Lin Mengya’s inquiring eyes, he felt a chill down his spine.

When he turned around, he also met Qinghu’s eyes sparkle with wonder.

“Uh... Could it be that the two are really working together in order to kill him when I don’t know?” he wondered.

Feeling a chill in his heart, Long Tianyu at once resolved to do whatever it took to prevent the two from meeting in private.

So, in the following days, whenever Qinghu was about to be alone with Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu would immediately drop what he was doing and squeeze in between them at lightning speed.

He claimed that he should take good care of his wife all the time.

Qinghu rolled his eyes at him openly many times, but Long Tianyu remained steadfast and showed no sign of wavering.

Therefore, Qinghu could only feel pity for it in her heart. However, in private, he had perfected the plan to fool Long Tianyu over and over again.

Qinghu’s mouth curved into a smile, which was his signature foxy smile.

“Wait and see, Long Tianyu. Sooner or later, I’ll find a chance to teach Lin Mengya face to face,” Qinghu thought.

“When the time comes, hee, hee, hee...”

Traveling day and night was a bit too much for Lin Mengya. Every day, she had to grit her teeth to endure it. One day, the towering shadows of the Capital City finally appeared in front of them.

This was the important area of the Capital City and its environs controlled by the Emperor. At last the weary group had a respite.

However, they had only been away for a little over a month, and already the atmosphere around the Capital City seemed to have changed.

Although the Capital City had been heavily guarded in the past, it was at least within normal limits.

Now everyone was scurrying, with their heads down, as if a hungry wolf were chasing them.

As Lin Mengya, sitting in the carriage, saw what was going on outside, it threw a gloom over her heart.

It seemed that as she had expected, some changes did have taken place in the Capital City during the month when she went out with Long Tianyu.

Although these changes did not affect them, it was clear that the security in the Capital City had been greatly enhanced.

People had to be carefully questioned as they entered or left the city.

“Let’s go.”

Of course, Long Tianyu also noticed this too, but he had nothing to do with it.

He had already sent someone to report to his father that he would arrive in the Capital City today. And he believed that according to his father’s character, the Emperor would definitely send someone to greet him at the city gate.

They should keep their return to the Capital City to themselves, and thus it was better for them to sneak in.

Long Tianyu’s cold eyes kept looking around warily. He could not let go of his guard until the last moment.

Their carriages followed the crowd, and soon reached the city gate.

The people who entered and exited through the large city gate stood in two orderly lines.

The soldiers guarding the city gate held up many portraits and carefully checked people entering and leaving the city.

Anyone who bore the slightest resemblance to the person in the picture would be picked up and taken to the side. When his identity was verified, the soldier decided what to do with him.

Fortunately, the Emperor had sent someone to meet them at the city gate, which saved the time they had to wait.

“Your Highness, welcome back to the Capital City. His Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time. Prince Yu, please follow me to enter the city quickly.”

The person who came was one of the trusted subordinates of the emperor.

After Long Tianyu nodded to him, he cast a glance at the portraits in the hands of the soldiers in confusion.

The man was clever. As there was no other people around, he stepped forward to Long Tianyu’s horse and said in a low voice.

“They were under orders to capture the assassin who had entered the palace three days before.”

Assassin?

Long Tianyu’s brows knitted together—he was worried about his father. He stared at the man with inquiring eyes.

“But don’t worry, Your Highness. His Majesty is safe and sound.”

That was good. Long Tianyu finally felt relieved.

No wonder the examination in the Capital City had become so rigorously.

Thinking about it for a while, Long Tianyu decided that he had to ask his father about it. Then, he followed the man into the city without any delay.

“Lass, look.”

Qinghu, who was hiding in the horse carriage, glanced outside inadvertently, but then he immediately lowered his voice and called out to Lin Mengya.

“What’s up?”

Lin Mengya, who was playing with Mo Yan in the carriage, raised her head and looked in the direction of Qinghu’s finger.

Five clear and distinctive portraits were being posted on a bulletin board outside the city.

“Stop the carriage. Li Jia, go and ask what happened.”

Lin Mengya tried her best to control herself, pretending to be calm.

However, the shock in her heart was no less than that of Qinghu.

What was going on? Why were two of the five people from Sanjue Hall?

Had she been exposed?

It was impossible. Otherwise, the imperial court would not only arrest a few people from Sanjue Hall.

Or—

Lin Mengya didn’t have time to think about it. Afraid that Long Tianyu would be suspicious, she could only leave Li Jia to inquire about it for the time being. At the same time, she asked the carriage to continue to go into the inner city with a heavy heart.

The atmosphere in the carriage was subdued and tense.

Sanjue Hall was not only her secret, but also the secret way of escape that she left for Long Tianyu and herself.

If Sanjue Hall was really exposed because of her, she would be caught off guard.

However, there were so many people here, and their carriage was just the most ordinary one.

Even though she was very worried, she and Qinghu could only make eye contact and comfort each other.

“Don’t worry.”

Qinghu mouthed quietly, comforting Lin Mengya.

He stopped joking because he knew what Sanjue Hall meant to Lin Mengya.

The two of them had a lot on their minds. Now they could only follow the horse carriage to Prince Yu’s Mansion.

“Stop... Your Highness, we’ve arrived at the mansion.”

Finally, the carriage came to a stop. Even though something was weigh on her, Lin Mengya tried her best to maintain the relaxed look on her face and got out of the carriage under Qinghu’s comforting gaze.

“It’s Master! You’re back, Master!”

As soon as Lin Mengya poked her head out, Baizhi’s excited voice rang out.

When she looked up, she found that not only the servants in her courtyard, but also the other servants in the prince’s mansion were standing orderly at the door. Everyone had an expectant smile on their faces, just like the relatives who had been reunited after a long separation were warmly welcoming the people who had returned to their homes.

A warm current drifted across her heart.

“I’m back. Sorry to make you worry.”

Lin Mengya’s soft words made many people’s eyes turn red-rimmed.

With Lin Mengya in the mansion, Prince Yu’s Mansion was full of life and vitality.

Now that the princess was back, they had the mainstay and no one dared to bully them anymore.

All the servants thought so, so their tears and smiles were sincere.

In every detail that Lin Mengya did not notice, she seemed to have won the ears of everyone in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

“Don’t just stand there like a fool. Hurry up and ask your princess to get inside.”

A frivolous and gentle voice sounded. To everyone’s surprise, the guard, who used to accompany the princess, showed up in front of everyone again.

Other servants might not have any reaction, but the three maids in Lin Mengya’s courtyard became tearful in an instant.

“How dare you come back! Our master, our master...”

Baizhi was always Lin Mengya’s most thoughtful maid. Lin Mengya’s every move and sigh were always more important in her heart than anything else.

Now, she was the only one who dared question Qinghu angrily with a pout of anger.

“Well, let’s go back and talk about it. Go back, everyone. It’s been hard on you today. When I have a good rest, I will definitely reward you tomorrow. Everyone has been very tired during this period of time.”

Lin Mengya held Baizhi’s little hand and stated gently.

Of course, the servants knew what the princess was thinking, so they followed her and returned to their respective posts in an orderly manner.

It was just that everyone had a joyful smile on their faces, and the whole mansion seemed to have become warm and harmonious.

Surrounded by the servants of her courtyard, Lin Mengya returned to the Liuxin Courtyard she had left so long ago.

Although everything was the same as before, in the eyes of Lin Mengya, every blade of grass and every tree was dear to her.

Baizhi was busy pouring water for her and massaging her legs. She did not squat down in front of Lin Mengya until the table was filled with fruit and tea. She clenched her small fists and began to massage her master’s legs.

All the familiar people were gathered in the main room of the Liuxin Courtyard, including Hongyu. She changed into the same clothes as Baiji and were busy in and outside the room, like the other three maids.

Although she was a little thinner, Hongyu was in good spirits and there were more smiles on her face.
