Chapter 574 Make Fun of the Spies

However, Lin Mengya did not blame Long Tianyu at all.

As a matter of fact, she wanted to protect Long Tianyu and make him feel good. This was what she could do for him.

“Father-in-law will feel at ease. Mengya, I’m here to pick you up.”

Long Tianyu’s voice suddenly came. Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu in surprise. “Why did this guy come without informing me in advance?”

Xiao Yixin looked at Long Tianyu and felt awkward. He could feel that this man was hostile toward him.

He could understand that. After all, he could have become Lin Mengya’s husband.

But now, he didn’t wish to do that anymore, and he became the scapegoat and had to take the responsibility.

“Prince Yu, goodbye.”

Xiao Xixin said goodbye politely, and he knew that he was an unwelcome person now.

Lin Mengya looked at his back and sighed softly.

“In fact, Xiao Yixin also felt miserable. Thank you for restoring justice and securing the rights.”

Lin Mengya turned around and gave Long Tianyu a naughty smile.

She knew that Long Tianyu was not a narrow-minded person. Moreover, at this critical moment, Long Tianyu was just making a light joke.

Looking at her cute face, Long Tianyu couldn’t help but smile.

No one in the world would discard her; at least, he wouldn’t do so.

With the help of the teacher, things went very smoothly.

The epidemic in Yun State was very serious, and the situation in the capital city was turbulent. This morning, there was news from the palace that Concubine Xian had broken with the empress in public.

First of all, it was because the princess had given birth to a son and was honored as Concubine Xian. After the order was announced, of course, the empress would not agree.

According to the tradition, he had had to prepare for a few days before he could get the position.

She didn’t expect that the emperor had been prepared for this.

On this day, the imperial edict and the conferring ceremony were finished at the same time.

By the time the empress arrived, everything had been decided.

The empress was so angry that she even argued with the emperor at the conferring ceremony.

In the end, she accused Concubine Xian of seducing her master.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian argued with the empress on the spot.

The emperor left with anger, and the empress felt even angrier. But anyway, it seemed that the one who would win in the end was undoubtedly Concubine Xian.

Lin Mengya heard the news when she was having breakfast. She was still a little surprised upon hearing it.

However, after the shock, she felt more stressed out.

The emperor was trying to buy time for Long Tianyu and her. So, the empress would not make trouble for them even when she was in a dilemma.

“I see. Baishao, don’t forget to do what I told you to do.”

Baishao nodded immediately. This was the idea that her master had come up with. Only in this way could the 10th prince wait for Master and the prince’s coming safely.

“Princess, everything is ready. We can set off at any time.”

The guard came in and reported the news. Baiji put a red cape on Lin Mengya and carefully fastened the collar.

All the people in the courtyard came out to see her and Long Tianyu off.

Although they were forced to do this, they were all very worried when they heard that the princess was about to go to the epidemic area.

However, they all knew that it was very dangerous this time. If they followed the prince, they would only make trouble for him.

Long Tianyu personally helped Lin Mengya get in the horse carriage. Baizhi looked at her mistress and didn’t want to keep apart from her.

“Master, you must come back safely!”

Lin Mengya nodded. As the curtain dropped down, the coachman raised his long whip. The horse slowly raised its four hooves and went far away.

“Rest assured. Master will definitely come back. Every time, Master has done so. But we can’t neglect what Master asked us to do.”

As the elder sister, Baiji had to comfort her two younger sisters.

Of course, she did not feel good, and she was also worried about Lin Mengya.

However, although she was worried, she still had to do what she should do.

Baishao and Baizhi hid their worries and nodded solemnly.

Master had said that the key to her coming back earlier lay with the three of them.

“Go back, everyone. Take care of yourself. Master will be back soon. Be alert these days. Don’t let anyone hurt you. Do you understand?”

It didn’t take long for Baishao to become the young housekeeper of the mansion.

Every steward knew what was important and what was not important.

“Yes.”

After the crowd dispersed, the three young ladies went in different directions. They all had their own duties.

The horse carriage was not stable, which made them uncomfortable. It was not until they had walked for a long distance that Lin Mengya secretly lifted the curtain and looked back.

At the gate of the courtyard, the group of people gradually disappeared.

She knew that it was a good idea to make them take charge of the yard.

“The three of them are becoming more and more like you.”

It was rare for Long Tianyu, who was sitting next to her, to praise others.

Lin Mengya felt very happy after hearing that. She was proud of the group of people in her yard.

“Of course. I taught them to do this. After we get out of the city, our teacher and Xiao Yixin will meet us in Qiyuan Town in three days. It’s your duty to keep us from being found by the informant.”

Lin Mengya looked at him seriously. She believed that this guy could do well.

Long Tianyu frowned. It seemed that this girl was intending to test him.

Well, he wouldn’t let his princess down.

“Come on.”

Lin Mengya’s mellow voice sounded a little light-hearted.

Lin Mengya looked at him with a smile. “What kind of tricks does he have?”

He whispered a few words to his subordinates. “This cunning guy is using lip language!”

Lin Mengya felt a little angry. Her hearing ability was more excellent than that of ordinary people. But Long Tianyu avoided being heard by her on purpose.

The subordinate nodded repeatedly. But she didn’t get any information from him.

In the end, his subordinates left. Long Tianyu seemed to hide some important information.

Looking at him, Lin Mengya felt uneasy.

“What did you just say to him?”

In the end, Lin Mengya was still unable to suppress her curiosity.

Long Tianyu shook his head with a smile, and then said in a very mysterious tone,

“The Buddha told me that I can’t tell you.”

“What?” Lin Mengya glared at him and knew that she had been fooled.

However, she was really worried about the spies behind her. It was really not easy for the spies to track down this old man.

The conclusion was proved correct within the next three days.

The purpose of the spies was either to get some important information or to create some troubles for them on the way.

Lin Mengya didn’t think that they would take practical action.

After all, the emperor had recovered, and he even added a lot of blames on the Crown Prince.

At the same time, the emperor relied on the third prince, Long Tianyu. Therefore, if Long Tianyu was in trouble at this time, the emperor would first suspect the empress and the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince wouldn’t take the risk of killing his younger brother if he wanted to become the next emperor. This would be a fatal strike to the Crown Prince, who wanted to quickly build up his prestige.

After all, in addition to the third prince, there was also the seventh prince. At least, there was still the 10th prince.

He couldn’t kill them one by one. If he dared to do it, he, the Crown Prince, would fail in the end.

The best way was to let Long Tianyu die from the plague.

After all, he was in the epidemic area. No one could know what would happen in this kind of place, could they?

Therefore, considering the reality, the spies became more and more restrained to finish their jobs.

However, Long Tianyu was different. He could do whatever he wanted. Within one day, he had already exhausted the spies, who had been watching him in the dark.

“There’s a spy following us from behind. Hurry up.”

In the red carriage, Lin Mengya sat beside Long Tianyu and was in a good mood, clutching the clothes on his chest tightly and wearing a smile on her face.

Instead of saying that Long Tianyu was going in the direction of the epidemic area, he seemed to be here for a trip.

This time, two small carriages came. Those who were driving were all his trusted subordinates.

These people were highly skilled in martial arts, and they always knew what Long Tianyu was going to do next.

As long as he gave an order, they would immediately understand what he meant.

For example—

“Eh? Where are they? I saw them enter this forest just now. Why is there not a track on the road?”

One of the spies stared at the narrow path in the forest in surprise.

His subordinates had clearly seen the track. But why couldn’t they even see a shadow now?

“Is there something wrong with your eyes?”

Another spy began to investigate. However, they did not find anything at all.

Something had to be wrong there.

The two of them were searching on the ground. And those who were hiding in the dark also began to search.

However, there were no traces left by Prince Yu in the grass and bushes.

They had been spying on Long Tianyu the entire time. How could this man disappear suddenly?

“Was it possible that he chose another path?”

The third spy said suspiciously. He even rubbed his eyes. “It’s strange. I saw the carriage turn around here.”

“It’s impossible. What’s the reason?”

There were more and more spies in the dark. What was unexpected was that there were 20 to 30 spies in the small forest.

They were searching more and more carefully, which disturbed many animals around.

Even so, Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya were still nowhere to be seen.

It was very strange.

“Look, they’re over there!”

Finally, just before these guys gave up searching, they saw that the group of people finally appear outside the forest.

Everyone felt relieved. But new questions came to their minds again.

“Where did they hide exactly?”

Lin Mengya got off the carriage and blinked, looking at the distant forest.
