Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 342 The Concubine Went Back to the Mansion

But, when seriously thinking about it, you would realize it was a simple opinion of those who couldn't think far from a hostile country.

As the old saying went, 'a country couldn't exist without the emperor.'

But what about the current situation? The emperor had lain in his palace for such a long time. Not to mention a huge uproar, even those hostile countries didn't send out a soldier.

Why was that? It was because some magisterial officers were in charge of the political and military matters!

The kingdom built by the Long family was not that fragile as those from the Zhu and Zhao families.

It was built by the toil of several generations and was tough, as a hard bucket.

It could be seen from her father-in-law. After he inherited the emperor's place, he had never run into a battle which would threaten his governing state.

It meant the country had a complete system in place.

That was to say, no matter how the kids in the Long family acted, it would be okay as long as it had no influence on the stability of the country.

Therefore, Lin Mengya had already known where their bottom line was.

But at the moment, the Crown Prince's behavior moved the people's faith, which was a huge deal. Even if he didn't understand it, those with powers would surely understand.

Therefore, that time, someone would move faster than him and cut off some of his powers, so that he would be unable to threaten Dajin's future.

On that point, even the empress would have no way out.

All in all, the Crown Prince was the Crown Prince. Even if he was only one step away from the emperor, he couldn't be in control.

Even if he had the officer's and some power's support. But, from that day on, she would gradually destroy the power behind the Crown Prince.

She would let the Crown Prince know what it feels to be deserted by everyone around him!

"Didn't you plan it with Prince Yu ahead of time?"

She came back from her thoughts but only saw Qiu Yu's frowning and bitter face.

Lin Mengya shook her head with certainty. During those days, she had been under their tight surveillance. How could she have a chance to scheme with Long Tianyu?

"Forget it. You two belong together. One can scheme secretly, while the other can use others' power to protect you. You're a perfect couple. I'll never mess with you in the future. Nanny, can I have a clean room to rest. I'm a bit tired."

Before Lin Mengya understood his words, Qiu Yu sweetly asked Nanny Bai to arrange a room for him.

Lin Mengya was left in a blank; her beautiful face flushed because of the perfect couple reference.

Her big eyes blinked and thought he was quite the big mouth.

A perfect couple… Well, she recalled the first time she met Long Tianyu.

Maybe, they were destined to be together!

Or else, she shouldn't have travelled through time and fallen right on Long Tianyu's marrying carriage by accident!

Covered in quilt, Lin Mengya who was dark and shameless became shy with pink bubbles inside for the first time!

At the same time, Long Tianyu, who was in the cold study, was not as relaxed as Lin Mengya.

The person he sent out for information reported him that the thirteenth of the Wanliu Embankment was in the Crown Prince's control.

But then, he could almost be sure that Lin Mengya was not in the Crown Prince's control.

Until then, he hadn't received any information. He knew nothing about where Lin Mengya could be.

Or, did the empress save something behind? But after careful consideration, it wouldn't be true. If the empress did it, there was no need for her to get her son involved.

Maybe they did it?

There was no sign of joy on Long Tianyu's face.

In the bright candle light, that arrogantly erected figure looked cold and lonely.

Fifteen years ago, he still remembered a night like that.

But then, he was only a kid who just knew about studying and doing exercise day and night. He was quite confused about those scheming things.

Under the love and protection of her parents who were the emperor and the royal concubine, he hadn't lived as hard as he was at the moment.

That night, he slept in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden because of the coldness.

At midnight when he woke up, he saw one of his uncles move in a hurry. He went through all the servants and guards and rushed into the palace where the emperor rested.

That uncle, though not so respected, was a brilliant and helpful man.

But that day, he saw the desperate expression on his face for the first time.

It was possible that he didn't understand it then. But he presently understood that it was the terror and desperation to watch his beloved one die while unable to help. Perhaps, he was also helpless and sad toward his status.

But then, he was just curious and didn't go into his father's room to have a look.

But from that day on, that aunt who would bring the little princes and princesses food and toys which could only be bought outside never showed up again.

He had asked her mother about it, but she just told him that the aunt had been unlucky and died of a disease.

When he had grown up, he gradually learned that the aunt had urged the uncle to seize the emperor's throne.

That uncle used to be obedient to his wife, but he refused that absurd idea at the time.

If his concubine hadn't accidentally told it to the others, they might still be together.

But the relatives couldn't let such an ambitious woman remain with that uncle any more.

Long Tianyu could understand the ending at the moment.

In fact, both the royal concubines in the palace and the concubines of the princes could live a comfortable life if they simply stayed there and didn't try to steal the emperor's throne.

But the empress in place wanted to control the whole harem. Some people wouldn't let that happen.

The only worry he had for the moment was that, if Lin Mengya became their target, even Lin Muzhi would be unable to protect her.

How he wished Lin Mengya had only run into a small thief who just wanted some money.

Unconsciously, the sun rose.

The candle had also burnt to the bottom. The oil that fell down resembled tears which covered the candle stick.

"Your majesty, the spies outside our yard have all disappeared."

Lin Kui's words made Long Tianyu's body move, after being seemingly frozen for a long time.

"Who did it?"

Lin Kui just shook his head which meant he knew nothing about it either.

Those spies had stayed around Prince Yu's Mansion for a long time, as if they were rooted there.

There was no reason for them to disappear all of a sudden that day.

"I know. Get some people prepared. I'll look for her by myself."

To wait was the most torturing experience.

Long Tianyu decided not to wait for information so passively. Instead, he would look for her on his own. He would search every place where Lin Mengya might be.

He was about to go out when he saw Steward Deng who looked overwhelmed by happiness, running in from the front yard hurriedly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The concubine is back! The concubine is back!"

Long Tianyu's eyes narrowed. What? Did he hear it wrong? Lin Mengya, she was really back?

When Steward Deng hurried to report the good news, Lin Mengya had taken her three maids and two fierce pets back into her Liuxin Courtyard.

"Oops!"

Before they all went into the yard, the two little fellows rushed in.

Strangely, they were quite smart. From the moment they were born in the small yard in Sanjue Hall, they were cute and obedient. No matter how bad the children treated them, they were never annoyed.

But only in the Liuxin Courtyard, when they saw anyone Lin Mengya didn't like, they would show how strong and ill-tempered they were.

"Don't run around. Baishao and Baizhi, get everything prepared. Baiji, clean up the main room with me."

Lin Mengya pulled Baiji right into her room with a sweet smile on her face.

Although it had been cold in the Liuxin Courtyard during the whole month she wasn't there, the nanny who stayed there watched everything carefully. So, everything was the same as how it had been.

Looking at the spacious and familiar house, Lin Mengya just sighed.

There were too many memories there.

Baisun, Xiaoyu, Qinghu and many others who she held sincerely. But, it was so empty just then.

"Master, Baisu, will she never come back?"

In front of her was a cup of tea and a careful question.

Lin Mengya took it over and looked at the maid who was the smartest and knew her best. Then she slightly nodded as a yes.

"She—she has her own life. We, may drag her down. Keep it in mind and don't tell the two of them in case they feel sad."

Baiji wanted to say something but just stopped there.

They used to be sisters. She might know nothing else. But in regards to Baisu, she knew Baisu would never ditch them if it hadn't been something extremely important.

"Don't worry. I'll deal with it. Besides, during the time you were away, the second miss in the Yue Family and the miss in the Shangguan family both sent an invitation here. But you were already in the palace, so they wanted to invite you over when you returned."

Shangguan Hui looked for her for her older brother's sake. She had promised for them to get married.

But for Yue Qi, it would be tough. They had all moved out. If there was something urgent, she couldn't deal with it right away.

"Got it. After a few days, you can invite the miss from the Shangguan Family here. Just tell her that I'm inconvenienced. She'll understand.

Up to then, Lin Mengya was in need of support which could help her win that battle.
