Chapter 270 Long Tianyu Got Injured

As Lin Mengya expected, Baili Wuchen flipped when he heard what she said.

The last thing someone like him could bear, was to have his ambition and achievements denied. He would not allow anyone to consider everything he had done to be useless, especially his enemy, Lin Mengya.

“You know nothing at all! He has to be heartless in order to achieve his ambition. Meaningless kindness would destroy him one day!”

Baili Wuchen was very stubborn. Even at this moment, he still thought that he was right, while Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu, who refused to take his advice, were wrong.

“It’s not meaningless. He is showing his tolerance and manners. But you even framed your uncle, who treated you as his own son, just to fulfil your ambition. And you say you are doing this for Long Tianyu’s good? No! You did this for yourself, to get a higher status and more power!”

Lin Mengya’s speech totally irritated Baili Wuchen.

There were coldness and confusion in his eyes. Lin Mengya induced his private demons to appear. There was a fine line between a genius and an idiot.

“No! It’s not like that! You’re wrong! Wrong! I did this for His Highness, for Dajin!”

Baili Wuchen was clever and brutal, but he was weak in one thing. He would not give up that easily. He planned to kill Lin Mengya, but he would not kill her, until she admitted defeat!

Therefore, Lin Mengya kept challenging him and saying something against him. Bali Wuchen became even more heated. Unconsciously, his knife was slipped a little from her neck.

Lin Mengya grasped this opportunity and immediately pulled out her silver hairpin. She wanted to free herself, while Baili Wuchen was losing himself in his own private thoughts.

But Baili Wuchen came to his senses very quickly. His face looked more brutal and he thrust his knife at Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya saw the sharp knife coming and thanks to her alertness, she squatted immediately The tip of her silver hairpin was also sharp. Lin Mengya struggled to stab up.

Instantly, a dreadful cry rang into the night.

“Your Highness!”

In the meantime, Long Tianyu took the chance to pull Lin Mengya toward him.

When he held the stunned woman in his arms, he found fresh blood on her pale face.

“Where got hurt? Let me see!”

He was desperate to know where Lin Mengya was injured. But Lin Mengya, who finally came to her senses, shook her head slightly. She was sure that she had not been injured.

A loud snarl like that of an injured beast, constantly came from where Baili Wuchen was. Baili Wuchen, who had seized Lin Mengya earlier, was now kneeling on the ground.

The silver hairpin which was coated with blood was impaled deep inside his left eye. His blood dripped continuously on the grassland.

“Take him away. Only God knows whether he will survive or not.”

No matter how strong his desire to kill Baili Wuchen was, Long Tianyu still could not, because Zhang Liang and others had sacrificed themselves for Baili Wuchen’s safety.

The two guards immediately bowed, grabbed hold of the unconscious Baili Wuchen, and rushed out of the garden.

Baili Wuchen had lost one of his eyes, but was still alive.

“I’m alright. Did you injure yourself, Your Highness?”

When Lin Mengya placed her hands on Long Tianyu’s arms, she found it wet, and immediately shouted in surprise.

She grabbed his arms and checked. Then, she saw a nasty wound.

“It is just a little cut. I’m okay. Lin Kui, give those bodies a decent burial. They are still our brothers.”

Long Tianyu instantly gave his orders. Tonight, everyone’s hearts were as heavy as a stone.

Lin Mengya did not know how they felt when they saw Zhang Liang and the other brothers falling down, one by one, in front of them. But she knew that their deaths cast a shadow in their hearts.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Lin Kui nodded. In fact, before his orders, the others already carried the corpses to the dungeon.

The people were walking around, and the quiet atmosphere made her feel stifled. Lin Mengya started to reproach herself a little.

Baili Wuchen thought that her existence destroyed everything.

Maybe without her or if she had really been killed in the carriage, those people would not have died? From the day she entered Prince Yu’s Mansion, she had caused Long Tianyu to be involved in all kinds of dangers, constantly.

“Is Baili Wuchen right? Did everything happen because of me?”

“Stop thinking so much. When I was born into the royal family, everything was already destined.”

A deep, gentle voice rang by her ear. She came to her senses immediately.

She turned around to look at Long Tianyu’s angular profile. “Hey, why would I think in that way? His identity as one of the royal family is the real cause.”

Long Tianyu was not an ambitious man. He could develop his own power, but it was used to protect his people, rather than to compete with the Crown Prince for power.

Without her, Long Tianyu would also fight with the Crown Prince, sooner or later. Her existence just added some variation to the competition, whose result was still unknown.

“Thanks.”

For some reason, Long Tianyu seemed to be able to read her mind.

Lin Mengya showed her thanks. Be it Long Tianyu, or Baili Wuchen, both of them had their own destinies.

Even though her existence hastened or delayed some events, Long Tianyu would also get enough of a subordinate with such a strong desire to be in control, like Baili Wuchen.

When everything was over, it was already midnight.

Luckily, the artificial hill in the garden, was far away from those houses with people.

Lin Mengya believed that the house next to Prince Yu’s Mansion, was empty of people, because the activities like coming and going underground to the dungeon or stone rooms, would definitely arouse peoples’ suspicions, if there was anyone about.

Even though there were people about, Lin Mengya supposed that they must be Long Tianyu’s people.

The dungeon was almost as big as their house. How much would it cost to build such a large underground construction?

Lin Mengya could not help looking at Long Tianyu again.

No wonder he was always so gorgeous. He was the real toff!

The foreyard was still quiet, as this big event had happened in the backyard.

Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu went back to Liuxin Courtyard in tandem. Upon their arrival, six people who had been waiting, surrounded them immediately.

“It’s so late. Where have you been? You little girl, why did you not send me a message? Don’t you know we were all worried about you!”

Qinghu always acted like an old woman. As he gently tapped her forehead, he immediately smelt the blood on her body.

“Little girl, are you injured? Baiji, fetch some medicine. Baishao, get clean cloth and hot water. Long Tianyu, you promised me that you would keep her safe. If she’s really injured, I will leave some holes in your body!”

All of them were running round in circles, so that Lin Mengya, who was surrounded by them, did not have time to explain to them. When her maids took her clothes off and checked, it was only then that she managed to tell them that the injured one was Long Tianyu.

So they took the medicine and went to the outer room. Long Tianyu was rolling up his sleeves and was pathetically trying to apply medicine to the wound.

“Let me do it. Baishao, fetch a towel and hot water.”

A soft, white hand grabbed his hand.

Long Tianyu raised his head and saw Lin Mengya concentrating on him.

And then he glanced at Qinghu, who was humming with contempt, and a complacent smile flickered across his heart.

No matter what, Lin Mengya cared most for him.

Lin Mengya carefully cleaned the wound, put powder on it and then bound the wound with a piece of gauze. Dealing with the wound, was just a piece of cake, for Lin Mengya.

Long Tianyu was injured again, because of her. At that moment, she could feel the knife pointing at her back.

If Long Tianyu had not extended his arm to block Baili Wuchen, she would not have survived.

“Thank you. You saved my life again.”

In the flickering candlelight, Lin Mengya tilted her head and said this in a low voice, while she tied a knot in the gauze.

Her messy hair together with her disheveled clothes, in Long Tianyu’s eyes, seemed very lovely, for no reason.

Lin Mengya was like her pets. She always acted in a domineering way, but once she quieted down, she was a lovely girl.

“You’re Princess Yu. I should protect you.”

His deep, mellow voice like wine, made Lin Mengya weak, as if electricity was passing through her body, and her legs became weak.

She berated herself silently, for being a scrawny shrimp. She failed to discover that she was addicted to his voice!

“Alright, alright. He saved your life this time, so what? Without him, you would never have been hurt, in the first place. Go and get some sleep quickly. Baizhi, get a cup of sedative. And, take Snow and the baby tiger to her room tonight. Recently, the deflowering thieves have been running wild. Your master needs a powerful guard.”

Qinghu’s mouth twitched as he started his ranting. His mean expression was much better than Shangguan Qing’s.
