Chapter 616 The Crown Prince’s Arrival

Lin Mengya had asked Xiao Yixin for a new garment, so even Baili Rui knew that Qinghu had come back.

After Qinghu got changed, Lin Mengya combed his long hair in person. But the guy looked at himself in the mirror and pouted with dissatisfaction.

“This garment is too plain. Girl, I want a bright red one. It’s best if it’s embroidered with big peony flowers. How beautiful it is! Only in this way can my beauty be shown. It’s so plain and boring.”

Qinghu, whose life had been reshaped by Lin Mengya’s tolerance, now looked like he was asking for a beating.

However, only Lin Mengya knew how much pain this guy had hidden in his seemingly relaxed attitude.

“Alright, I’ll make you a new one when we get home in a while. Alas, you have almost as many clothes as I do. You’re a man. Why do you bother to show off your good looks shamelessly?”

Qinghu smiled cunningly. Of course, no matter how many clothes he had, he could not compare with Lin Mengya.

In the past, Xiaoyu and he had bought her many clothes without caring how much they cost. Now, with a rich man like Long Tianyu, her wardrobe was going to be expanded again.

This time, he had to think carefully about what material and style he should use to dress up his most beautiful little girl.

With Qinghu around, Long Tianyu could not help but feel relieved in terms of Lin Mengya’s safety, even though he disliked him.

He knew it that with Qinghu’s presence, even if the King of Hell came, that damn fox would stand in front of Lin Mengya fearlessly.

Although he disliked him, as men, of course, they had some tacit understanding about this.

Therefore, Long Tianyu could only try his best not to throw away the guy who stood beside Lin Mengya and showed off on purpose immediately.

“I haven’t formally introduced him to you yet. This is my sworn brother, Qinghu. Qinghu, this is Baili Rui, my teacher, and the other is Xiao Yixin, an elder brother from the Xiao Family, who took good care of me before.”

Baili Rui and Qinghu had met several times because of Yunzhu.

To hide the existence of the Sanjue Hall, Qinghu and Baili Rui had to pretend to be polite and distant.

Fortunately, Long Tianyu was so jealous that he was thinking about how to get Qinghu’s hand off Lin Mengya’s shoulder.

Thus, except for Lin Mengya, no one else noticed the slight abnormality between the two of them.

“Greetings, Mr. Baili. My little sister is naughty and stupid. Please take care of her for me.”

In front of outsiders, Qinghu pretended to be a steady brother. He looked serious, as if he were an older brother who was worried about his younger sister.

“Of course.”

Baili Rui was usually calm and collected, but he was also good at acting.

The two of them seemed a little reserved and polite. It was as if they were meeting for the first time.

Xiao Yixin was ignored again, but he seemed to have begun to get used to this scene.

He sat there alone and went about his business quietly.

Since he came back, he found that everyone here was very concerned about Lin Mengya.

He, the heartless man who had broken off the engagement, had obviously become an enemy in everyone’s eyes.

Therefore, he could bear this kind of treatment.

Although Lin Mengya felt a little sorry for him, she could not help but feel somewhat happy. Xiao Yixin had taken good care of her, but there was something that could not be completely write off in a short time.

“From today on, Qinghu will be living with us. I will tell him everything about this place. But I hope that we can keep his identity a secret.”

Qinghu had definitely escaped. Lin Mengya was absolutely certain of that.

It was a piece of cake to hide a person in such a large refuge camp.

Besides, Qinghu was so alert that he would never expose himself. Moreover, Lin Mengya did not intend to introduce him to others.

It was just that Mr. Baili and Xiao Yixin were not outsiders, so she came to inform them in advance in case anyone would be suspicious.

“Well, I see. If anyone inquires you of him, you can say that he’s my distant nephew who came to me for shelter. But I’m afraid that his face can’t be covered up. There are so many people here, so you’d better be careful.”

As a senior hermit, Baili Rui had a lot of experience to pass on to Qinghu.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Lin Mengya took Long Tianyu’s hand and walked out of Mr. Baili’s tent.

“Why are you smiling so much?”

A few days ago, Lin Mengya had been worried about him going to Luoshui Town.

To his surprise, Qinghu’s return today brought her a long-lost happy smile.

No matter how bitter Long Tianyu felt, in the end, he could not do anything.

“Nothing. By the way, I went to see Gu Die before. She suffered a great blow. I think she should leave in a few days. The plague should have nothing to do with her. On the contrary, Gu Xing is suspicious. How are you going to deal with him?”

Everything in the camp could not be hidden from Long Tianyu.

The people lying in ambush around Gu Xing were all top experts. Hence, if anyone wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill him, they would have made the wrong decision.

“There’s no hurry. There’s news from the capital that the Crown Prince’s men are about to arrive. If we make a move ahead of time, it’s like we’re stealing the credit. Just leave it to the Crown Prince and his men. After I leave, Li Jia will take you out of the camp. When I come back from Luoshui Town, we can go back to the capital.”

Long Tianyu looked indifferent, as if he didn’t care about the Crown Prince stealing his credit.

Could it be that he had already prepared a trick to trap the Crown Prince?

“Ok, I’ll definitely wait for you to come back. You have to return as soon as possible. If we can get back to the capital before the Crown Prince’s men do, will whatever happens be none of our business?”

Lin Mengya blinked her eyes. In terms of trapping others, she and Long Tianyu were almost the same.

The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Early in the morning, Lin Mengya was busy helping Moyan get changed, feeding him milk, and making him happy.

When everything was settled down, the team that followed Long Tianyu to Luoshui Town disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Lin Mengya was surrounded by the guards that Long Tianyu had left behind.

With the help of Qinghu, who had returned, Lin Mengya was now perfectly safe. There was not even a trace of information about her spreading.

“Your Highness, Gu Die has disappeared in the early morning. She must have been taken away by someone.”

Since Li Jia reported it in person, the news could not be faked.

There had always been other people’s forces outside the camp, which Long Tianyu had told her a long time ago.

Given Gu Die’s identity, her family must have been secretly protecting her since what she had done had caused a stir.

“I see, let it be. If someone asks about her, tell them that she has gone to Luoshui Town with His Highness. By the way, is there anything wrong with Gu Xing?”

Li Jia shook his head. His men would visit the prisoners every hour. Before he came here, he had just confirmed it in person.

Gu Xing was still locked up there. Apart from their men, no one else had ever approached him.

“It seems that he has been completely abandoned. If nothing happens during the day, remove half of the guards in the evening. Remember, don’t alarm anyone. Understand?”

“Yes.”

Since the prince was absent, they, the guards, had to obey Lin Mengya’s orders.

With the help of Li Jia and the others, Lin Mengya was able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

According to the Crown Prince’s plan, they would arrive tomorrow.

In that case, before they arrived, she had to make more arrangements for some things.

Everything was as usual in the refuge camp.

It was thanks to the rules set up by Long Tianyu when he was in charge of the affairs.

Whether it was food or medicine, there was special personnel responsible for distribution and supervision.

After making sure that the refugees were not infected with the plague, they began to make records. Some of the refugees wanted to go to other places to seek refuge with their relatives, and after a check, they would naturally let them go.

As for those who were old, weak, sick, and disabled, or those who felt that it was hard to leave their homeland, they would receive certain life supplies in the camp.

They had food and accommodation, and there were also people who take care of their physical condition.

Most people chose to continue to live in the camp.

Anyway, in the end, the imperial court would definitely find a way to settle them down properly.

On this point, Long Tianyu, the current spokesperson of the imperial court, gave them great confidence.

However, unlike the ordinary people who were living a stable life, from the moment Long Tianyu walked out of the camp, Lin Mengya and the others were under the surveillance of many people with malicious intentions from a distance.

“Is there any news?”

Not far from the camp, the few scouts in charge of surveillance had been keeping their eyes on it.

They would send people to investigate every person who came out and went in.

Those people were released only when it was found that they had nothing to do with Prince Yu.

As for those who had something to do with him, they would either be tracked or quietly disappear from the world.

There had never been an exception.

“Everything is normal. Princess Yu stayed in her tent all the time and didn’t come out. Other than a group of people who went to Luoshui Town, no one else came out.”

A subordinate immediately went to report, but they didn’t dare to look away.

There were several entrances and exits in the large campsite, and they were just guarding one of them.

But because they were led by the commander-in-chief of this operation, they had to work harder than those who were guarding the other monitoring points.

“Great. The Crown Prince will arrive soon. When that time comes, it will be time for us to make a contribution. Princess Yu, humph, they will soon know what will happen if they go against the Crown Prince.”

A sinister smile appeared at the corners of the leader’s mouth.

Recently, Prince Yu and Princess Yu had made a lot of trouble for them.

If it weren’t for the orders, they wouldn’t have allowed the two to gain the upper hand.
