Chapter 310 Prince Yu Arrives

They said that Prince Yu was very brutal and heartless. Pearl and Agate originally wanted to drive a wedge between Prince Yu and Princess Yu. But to their surprise, Prince Yu depended on Princess Yu so much.

“What should we do? If Princess Yu knows about it, we will—”

Agate burst into tears immediately. Pearl also looked extremely worried.

“Stop crying. Even though she knows, she can do nothing to us. She knows clearly about us. For the empress’s sake, she won’t kill us.”

Pearl made up her mind and became confident that Princess Yu would do nothing to them. Princess Yu would punish them at most. But if Princess Yu did something out of their control, she would go to ask for the empress’s help.

Long Tianyu looked at the emperor’s resting palace meaningfully. Every during the day, those guards were more than that night.

The empress was really an old fox.

Luckily, it was not a long distance between his resting palace and the Court of Imperial Physicians. Long Tianyu saw those doctors and apprentices coming and going into the hospital from a distance.

He silently complained to himself and recalled what that maid said just now. “Last night, she didn’t come back the whole night.”

“She doesn’t have any fear at all in a hospital full of men?”

Long Tianyu felt jealous but he did not know what exactly that was.

Few people in the Imperial Hospital did not know Long Tianyu. Upon his arrival, those doctors greeted him in a panic.

Long Tianyu just casually glanced at them and then his eyes focused on the woman who was lost in her own thoughts.

The woman lowered her head, thinking about something difficult, and she was concentrating as if there was nothing able to distract her attention.

Long Tianyu never watched a woman in such an obsessed way.

He walked closer but his heart felt like it was being touched by a small hand. All those unhappy feelings disappeared at the moment.

Long Tianyu got closer and followed his heart to walk toward Lin Mengya step by step.

A wisp of her hair slipped down to her cheek. But she seemed to not notice it and still kept her head lowered while studying the medicine.

“Your—”

Long Tianyu waved to stop Lin Kui’s announcement, cautiously approached, and just stood behind and looked at her.

In a while, Lin Mengya felt a backache and lifted her head up.

She looked at the prescription and medicine with satisfaction. “They are enough. Teacher has studied it and they are particularly suitable for winter.”

For one thing, they could warm nourishing roots of herbs, and those herbs then could grow the next spring. For another thing, the poison of Duotian Root could be solved.

“Baisu, go tell them to boil it for three hours in a slow fire.”

Lin Mengya raised her head and smilingly called Baisu to cook the medicine.

But after a while, she got no answer from Baisu. She raised her head and saw Baisu looking behind her numbly.

“What’s wrong? Did you lose your soul?” Lin Mengya asked in confusion. But Baisu became more surprised.

“Master, it’s Prince—”

When Baisu was about to speak, someone touched Lin Mengya’s shoulders.

“What are you doing?”

The low, deep voice was mixed with unfamiliar gentleness.

Lin Mengya stood still and then turned around to see Long Tianyu. She never expected him to be here.

Long Tianyu had not seen her looking astonished for a long time, so he felt very excited now.

He pointed at the medicine in front of her and asked, “Who is the medicine made for?”

Lin Mengya looked at where he pointed, and after thinking about it, answered, “I have nothing to do but play with those herbs in the garden. I learned it from our old gardener. It will make those herbs more vigorously.”

Her words made Long Tianyu’s expression turn slightly cold.

Every official knew that Lin Mengya came into the palace to treat the emperor.

But the Court of Imperial Physicians put her aside and gave her nothing to but garden those herbs.

Long Tianyu looked at those doctors. “My princess may look too kind, right?”

“I didn’t know before. But I know now and I am surprised that the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have nothing to do. If that’s true, then I can discuss with other officials about the reduction of expenses and doctors.”

Long Tianyu said that because he wanted those doctors to hear it. So instantly someone ran out and asked for help.

Lin Mengya originally wanted to use Long Tianyu to crack down on them. After all, it was inconvenient for her to do so.

She lowered her head and smiled. “They haven’t seen how powerful he is.”

“Your Highness, you have been busy. Why do you come here? You rarely have any rest time. Why don’t you rest for a while?”

Everything that was needed was ready, including fragrant tea and desserts.

Long Tianyu sat down on the chair and looked around the room.

It was not as spacious as his house but they did not cold-shoulder his princess.

“How could I rest at home when my wife is here?”

Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows like a picky man. Noticing her drinking the tea, he went straight over to take it and have a drink.

“Hey, I was just drinking that—”

Long Tianyu drank it all like he was demonstrating.

“It’s warm enough. I can’t drink if it’s too hot.”

Lin Mengya did not have anything to say to him. After the banquet on New Year’s Eve, he started to act shamelessly toward her. She could find no sign of that sophisticated, indifferent man.

“How could you!”

Lin Mengya refused to carry on and rolled her eyes at him as if he was going crazy because of boredom.

“Oh, have you seen father?”

Long Tianyu lowered his voice and a flicker of worry flashed through his eyes.

Lin Mengya shook her head. She was restricted in the Imperial Hospital, let alone could she see the emperor. She could go nowhere. If she asked to see the emperor, those doctors would make all kinds of excuses to stop her.

“I can’t read even His Majesty’s case history. Your Highness, it’s not that simple in the Court of Imperial Physicians.”

Both of them were smilingly chatting in low voices, looking like a newly married couple that was talking about family affairs from a distance.

“I already knew that. They are very stubborn and won’t say anything truthful even to me. Well, do you have any good ideas about how to teach them a lesson?”

Her face, as small as a hand, cracked a snicker and banter filled her eyes. Long Tianyu suddenly became interested. Every time Lin Mengya showed that expression, someone was going to be out of luck.

“Only putting an end to the source of their benefits can stop them once and for all.”

Lin Mengya ate a thumb-sized flaky pastry. Her eyes were slightly narrowed and she seemed joyful. But her sharp eyes heartlessly focused on those shifty-eyed doctors.

The reason why the Court of Imperial Physicians could be placed in a high position was that everyone in the palace, including concubines, princes, or even the emperor, had their lives indirectly decided by them.

In daily life, they would not do anything. But the emperor was ill and the empress and other powers were trying to entice them. They were treading on air, but in fact, they were treading on a knife edge.

Being slick and deceiving both sides built a foul atmosphere in the Court of Imperial Physicians. Lin Mengya originally thought of herself as useless, but actually, she was an unlucky woman for the Imperial Hospital.

“My wife, you’re really smart. Just tell me your whole plan.”

Somehow, Long Tianyu was really looking forward to how she would make a disturbance in the Court of Imperial Physicians and how she would make those doctors go into a panic.

Lin Mengya blinked her eyes and lightly said something by his ears.

“Please keep an eye on it, Your Highness.”

Both of them had a tacit understanding and exchanged glances. It was the right time. Consort Xian created a tremendous uproar in the harem. Everyone knew that the 10th prince had been harmed.

So on the surface, the empress had to focus her energy on a full investigation into it.

But her people in the dark would concentrate on covering it up. Consort Xian was clever enough to know how to follow up.

Therefore, the empress had to be deeply troubled for a few days.

If Lin Mengya jointed with Long Tianyu to disintegrate the Court of Imperial Physicians, the empress could do nothing before she came to her senses.

She really wanted to wait and see how the empress controlling the harem would be.

“You should have a good rest after all of this. I should be leaving now. Oh, tell your minister that my princess has been spoiled since childhood and can’t suffer. If I find that she has become thinner next time I come to see her, you’ll have to pay me with your body.”

Long Tianyu declared in a deep voice. He said it seriously like a muddleheaded prince spoiling his princess.

Lin Mengya struggled to hold back her smile and prettily bowed and also told him to take care. Those intimate words made others get goosebumps.

After sending Long Tianyu out of the Court of Imperial Physicians, Lin Mengya was worshiped by those doctors.

When she returned to her room, Lin Mengya saw a heap of things on the table that had been carried by Lin Kui.

She looked through them roughly and saw some coats and hairpins. Then, she saw a hard book in them.
