Chapter 669 Set a Trap in Secret

“Okay.”

Long Tianyu suddenly held her tightly after answering her. Although Lin Mengya felt that she was out of breath, he still held her in his arms quietly.

“I’m sorry for making you worry.”

She secretly apologized to Long Tianyu in her heart.

But Lin Mengya clearly knew that surviving was the best way for her to make it up to Long Tianyu.

“After I get things done here, I’ll go with you to seek the antidote.”

He blurted it out before thinking it over. However, he didn’t regret it after saying that, because losing her was even worse than getting killed to him.

Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

After a long while, she shook her head in trouble and said.

“This time, you can’t go with me. The Empress has intended to kill both of us. If you stay in the Capital City to restrain them, I can still be safe outside. But if you leave with me, the Empress and the Crown Prince will definitely take this opportunity to kill us. When the time comes, not only will we be in danger, but also all our efforts will be wasted. I understand your eagerness to go with me, but I can’t let you do so.”

Lin Mengya stared at Long Tianyu’s face with fascination, wondering since when Long Tianyu, whose mind had been occupied with his ambition, had become such an infatuated man, who put her affairs first.

In fact, Lin Mengya did not think someone sacrificed those around him for his ambition was a great person.

Speaking of that, a so-called selfless person must be ruthless.

Selfishness was human nature. She and Long Tianyu were just mortals after all.

“Let’s talk about this later. You’ve just come back and should be tired. Go to bed early.”

Long Tianyu was obviously avoiding this problem. Lin Mengya sighed secretly, knowing that they could not be rushed to make the final decision.

She nodded and let Long Tianyu carry her and put her on the warm bed.

“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to sleep?”

Seeing that Long Tianyu was about to leave after taking off her shoes and tucking her in, Lin Mengya immediately reached out to grab his sleeve and asked.

In the past few days, she had not been able to sleep soundly without him beside her.

“No, I’m going to deal with something. Go to sleep obediently. I’ll be back in a while.”

Seeing her, who was covered with the quilt, blink her big bright eyes, Long Tianyu was reluctant to leave immediately. He turned around and kissed her gently on the lips.

“Okay, come back soon.”

Lin Mengya closed her eyes and gradually slowed down her breathing with a smile.

Long Tianyu stood quietly in front of her bed and looked greedily at her with his deep black eyes, as if he could never get tired of looking at her.

Her little face looked as white as jade against the bright red quilt.

Meanwhile, she looked particularly weak and slender.

He had thought that Lin Mengya was born to be a person who never gained weight.

It was not until now that he realized that she didn’t gain weight because the remaining poison in her body had not been cleared.

“No one can take you away from me.”

Long Tianyu stretched out his big hand and gently touched her cheek, while whispering in an overwhelmingly convincing tone.

After making sure that Lin Mengya had fallen asleep, he turned around and left their bedroom.

The night breeze gently blew the hair on Long Tianyu’s temples.

The extremely gentle man now became the serious and arrogant Prince Yu.

Lin Mengya was the only one around the world who could soften his heart and from whom he was reluctant to part.

Without Lin Mengya around, he was the most ruthless person in the world.

He strolled to his study, where a group of people had been waiting quietly at this moment.

“Your Highness, all the commanders of the Four-Saints Guards are here. Please enlighten us.”

Lin Kui said. He, who was in a black suit, was not just the steward of Prince Yu’s Mansion at the moment.

Time could smooth one’s edges and corners, as well as turn a sharp blade into a lethal weapon for killing.

That was the case for Lin Kui. Even in front of a group of young people, he was still overwhelmingly prestigious.

All the commanders seemed to have considered him their leader.

Seeing this, Long Tianyu thought, “Good, it seemed that Lin Kui has gradually earned high prestige among the Four-Saints Guards.”

“Okay.”

He said, looking around the room coldly.

Every one of them was his subordinate and a rare sharp knife.

The Four-Saints Guards were the most elite and most loyal force he had groomed.

Although many of them had worked for his father before, under Long Tianyu’s subtle influence, now they only acted on his instructions.

“Today, everyone here is the core force of the Four-Saints Guards. I believe that you all know what your target is.”

The throne—

He remembered that since he turned five years old, his father had never hugged him.

As a prince born of an imperial consort, he could only stand aside and watch his father and the Crown Prince enjoy a joyful time between them.

His father offered the Crown Prince the best food, clothes and mansion.

However, his father secretly sent the best teachers, military officers and books around Dajin to his mansion.

When he was eleven years old, his father cried with satisfaction when seeing he kill a leopard bare-handed.

It was the first time that he had seen this man, who was strong enough to bear all blame, shed tears.

At that time, the Crown Prince had indulged in dissipation. Even if it was reported to his father, his father just glossed things over.

Only then did he realize that his father managed to gradually make the Crown Prince incapable of inheriting the throne by spoiling and indulging the Crown Prince.

Meanwhile, his father treated him coldly and trained him in order to protect him.

Therefore, he had to strive for the throne, because he wanted to live up to his father’s expectations.

But since the day he met Lin Mengya, he had realized that he wanted to be powerful just in order to protect his beloved.

Since the Crown Prince’s and the Empress’ status enabled them to hurt his beloved easily, he would personally destroy everything they could rely on and all their hopes!

“Yes, we got it.”

They could not hide their fervent desire to fight in their response in a low voice.

The eyes of all the commanders of the Four-Saints Guards lit up.

Perhaps they could not openly serve the imperial court for various reasons and could only work for the Third Prince Long Tianyu in secret.

Nevertheless, they knew better than anyone that only by following Prince Yu could they earn themselves a bright future even at the cost of life.

“Act as planned, remember not to expose your identities.”

Lin Kui bowed to Long Tianyu and then turned to give orders to everyone.

All the members of the Four-Saints Guards knew what their responsibility was. Moreover, they had trained themselves for this day.

After receiving the order, they quietly left in the same way they came.

However, in this seemingly peaceful night, Long Tianyu used all his force to set a huge trap for the Empress, the Crown Prince and those restless forces behind them.

He would like to see what the members of the Shangguan family were capable of!

With a trace of cruelty in his black eyes, Long Tianyu pursed his thin lips and revealed a playful smile.

They had better not let him down.

In her dark dream, Lin Mengya slept until dawn.

At half past six in the morning, the automatically set Shen Nung system revived her brain nerves, which had rested for a night, in an extremely gentle way.

Lin Mengya, who was refreshed, slowly woke up and began to detect everything around her keenly.

The Shen Nung system had helped her a lot last night. Having a sound sleep was the best way to replenish physical strength.

What was more—

With her eyes closed, Lin Mengya mischievously extended her little hands toward the other heat source under the quilt.

Unexpectedly, she was picked up by a pair of big hands and fell into a warm embrace instantly.

“It’s still early. Let’s get a little more sleep.”

Hearing the hoarse voice from him, who hadn’t woken up in the morning, Lin Mengya felt a tingle from her fingertips.

She chuckled with her eyes closed, but in the next second, she immediately opened her eyes and said.

“Long Tianyu, why are you naked in bed?”

Her angry voice, which was nasal because she had just woken up, sounded coquettish.

Long Tianyu opened his eyes and looked at his wife, who opened her eyes wide in astonishment, with great interest and said.

“I did that for fear that you would feel cold. Besides, why should I wear clothes when sleeping in my bedroom?”

Lin Mengya gritted her teeth in hatred when she saw he acted as if he had justice on his side.

But at this time, she had not realized that she was at a disadvantage.

“What’s wrong? Are you not displeased with it?”

Long Tianyu supported his head with one hand and lay on his side on the bed lazily, teasing his wife.

In the dim morning light, Lin Mengya unconsciously turned her eyes from Long Tianyu’s tidy hair to his strong muscles where there was no extra flesh.

All of a sudden, she, who was always smart, lost her mind. Before she was pushed down by her wicked husband, she kept thinking—

“Wow… he’s so muscular!”

The relaxing and affectionate morning sex made Lin Mengya blush.

Nevertheless, ignoring the aggrieved look in her eyes, he could consider she was shy at the moment.

Lin Mengya wished she could hide under the table, thinking that Long Tianyu, who seduced her with his handsome look, was so annoying.

She chewed with great strength, seeming to have regarded the crisp carrot as him. After glaring at him fiercely, she, who was teased by those around her in a low voice, finally became angry from embarrassment.
