Chapter 771 Ask about Information

Lin Mengya was pleased to see Xiaoyu smile cheerfully. As a prince, he was destined to have a tough life.

Therefore, she hoped that Xiaoyu could be as full of youthful spirit as those teenagers outside the imperial palace even if he could only show this side of him in front of her.

Along the way, Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu bumped into some palace servants moving around in the imperial palace, and they bowed to Xiaoyu when meeting him.

Meanwhile, they also saw the girl carrying a basket of rosa multiflora and smiling tenderly behind him.

Although Lin Mengya just stared affectionately at Xiaoyu in the way that an elder sister stared at her silly younger brother, the palace servants saw it in a different way.

The prince Xiaoyu was one of the most handsome men in the entire royal family.

But unexpectedly, he was as aloof as the Emperor.

When he just returned last year, plenty of young ladies from the royal and aristocratic families fell in love with him.

However, he crushed their affection for him into pieces without mercy.

It was said to be such a great blow to a few young ladies that they wailed bitterly and even attempted to commit suicide.

Unexpectedly, he smiled so tenderly at such a girl.

Was there something wrong with the prince?

Lin Mengya, who had intended to keep a low profile, had no idea that from today on, she became one of the legends discussed by everyone in the imperial palace.

At this moment, she was thinking about how to find out what had happened back then so that she could toughen Madame Jingrou up and enable her to deal with Madame Hui.

Ask Madame Jingrou directly? It doesnt seem appropriate. Since Madame Jingrou feels guilty about this over the years, she might not tell the pure truth. But it seems impractical to ask Madame Hui.

Anyway, its impossible to ask the Emperor.

Lin Mengya touched her head subconsciously, thinking she cherished her head and didnt want to seek death for the time being.

She hit her head in distress. Alas, she was least willing to deal with this kind of past event. Things changed as time flew, and the truth became vague in memories, so no one was able to explain what had happened back then.

However, it was impossible to evade this matter. She found it quite a knotty problem.

Sister, did you meet with any problem? Just tell me. Maybe I can help you! Xiaoyu moved close to Lin Mengyas ear with a flattering smile and whispered.

She raised her head, realizing she was not supposed to be troubled by this!

Since this was his parents business, there was no reason for him to stay out of this leisurely.

Im thinking about what happened between Madame and Madame Hui back then. Madame seems to be cautious with Madame Hui all the time. I think it may have something to do with that. Although I dont know the truth, you said that Madame Hui is not a good person and your father doesnt really like her. But why does your mother always feel guilty about her? Besides, in the current situation, we dont have to put up with her at all. If we leave it unsettled, I think Madame will let it go on, which will spoil the important affair, Lin Mengya said.

Hearing her words, Xiaoyu gradually stopped smiling and showed a serious look in his eyes.

After a long while, he said hesitantly, I accidentally heard from Uncle Lie that Madame Hui was just obsessed with some wild ideas.

Lin Mengyas eyes lit up. Bingo! Wanyan Lie was indeed the perfect candidate.

However, what excuse could she use to inquire him about what had happened back then?

Xiaoyu, why dont you ask Uncle Lie about what happened back then? It will be a good thing for us if Madame can get over this, Lin Mengya said.

After thinking twice, Lin Mengya believed it was the most appropriate to entrust this task to Xiaoyu.

Alright, Ill ask Uncle Lie after going back. Does my mother really care about this? Xiaoyu said.

He had always been careful. Although he restrained himself in front of Madame Jingrou all the time, he was very concerned about his mother but just had difficulty in expressing his feelings.

Madame cant get over this, and I have an intuition that if we solve this problem, it will have an unexpected effect. Well, stop asking about this. When the time comes, I will tell you the whole story. Xiaoyu, you must be careful. The Empress fell sick weirdly, but the Eldest Prince is absent. I guess that he may have encountered something critical so that he even has no time to attend to his mother. You must keep an eye on the Eldest Prince. We can only win in the chaos, so we must prevent the Eldest Prince from making a decisive move to win the throne. Lin Mengya held Xiaoyus hands and gave him instructions in a low voice.

Afraid of being heard by others, she leaned very close to Xiaoyu. Smelling the fragrance of rosa multiflora lingering around her, Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Her attraction, which had been lingering in his heart since he sensed it in the cave, seemed to be influencing him again.

Staring into her dark and clear eyes, he felt like he was about to drown in them.

Silly boy, why does your mind wander again? As Lin Mengya said, she gave Xiaoyu, who was staring at her blankly, a pat on the head.

He returned to himself, took a step back and looked at her in panic.

She glanced at Xiaoyu in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him so that he was always in a daze in front of her.

She shook her head helplessly, unaware of how he, who was always in a daze, fought his way out.

I I got it. Sister, rest assured. Ill turn to Uncle Lie now. Take care of yourself! Xiaoyu said and ran away.

At the sight of this, Lin Mengya could only give a soft smile.

Turning over the rosa multiflora in the basket, she thought since she was not very good at cooking, shed better wait for Ningqiu to come back and do the cooking.

Xiaoyu did not stop trotting until he turned a corner. Then he patted his chest and tried to regulate his disordered breathing.

Xiaoyu shook his head, trying to sober himself up.

He did enjoy the time with his sister, but he was seized by a strange infatuation with her.

He secretly leaned against the corner of the wall and poked his head out to watch Lin Mengya disappear at the end of the road with the basket in her hand.

He was wondering if she had realized that she seemed to have changed since she woke up in the pool.

Although she was dressed in a pea green palace costume like those palace maids, looking simple and elegant, her slender waist was as soft and seductive as a water snake.

At first, he had thought it was his illusion. But now, he was absolutely sure that his sister seemed to be more more feminine and attractive than before.

It gave him a very strange feeling. In terms of appearance, his mother was absolutely a drop-dead gorgeous woman, but she did not seem to be as attractive as his sister.

He had read in a book that a woman whose beauty could cause the downfall of a state must be a femme fatale.

As a woman endowed with both beauty and wisdom, his sister probably had great potential to be a peerlessly bewitching lady in the future.

After letting his imagination run wild for a while, he was sure of one thing.

No matter his sister would bring calamities to the world or the people, he would definitely be her follower to the very end.

In the Lieyun Empire, both Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu gradually figured out their goals.

Meanwhile, Prince Yus Mansion, located in the Capital City of the Jin State a thousand miles away, was clouded by gloom.

After pacing back and forth at the door of the study, Lin Kui braced himself to knock on the door.

The study was full of the particularly pungent smell of candles that had burnt out.

A puddle of candle tears on the large desk indicated that its owner had spent lots of nights working by the candlelight.

The man in black clothes sitting behind the desk looked haggard with red eyes and a pale face. In the past few months, he had become much thinner.

Your Highness, you havent had a good rest for more than half a month. Youd better have a rest. If Her Highness is here Lin Kui said.

It was only at this moment that Long Tianyu, who had buried his head in his work, lifted his head.

Lin Kui could not help but sigh in his heart. He was keenly aware that mentioning Princess Yu at this time amounted to rubbing salt in Prince Yus wound.

However, Prince Yu was unresponsive to anything other than Princess Yu.

Shes waiting for me. I cant keep her waiting for too long. I must bring her back as soon as possible, Long Tianyu said.

His voice, which had been mellow and low, was unexpectedly hoarse at the moment.

On the desk in the study, there was a bowl of noodles that had cooled down long before, but Long Tianyu did not eat any of it.

Lin Kui shook his head helplessly. Even he did not expect Prince Yus deep affection for Princess Yu.

If it were not for the fact that Princess Yu was still alive, Prince Yu Prince Yu probably would have lost the hope of living a long time ago.

Since youre waiting for her, you should at least stay alive! If your health collapses, no one can save her! There suddenly came a slightly reproachful female voice.

Lin Kui immediately turned around and stepped aside to make way for the pretty girl in peach pink clothes.

She, who had delicate features but gave out a slightly aloof air, seemed to be just a girl from a noble family.

Nevertheless, her eyes were fluid and penetrating, as if she could see through peoples minds in an instant.

Here you are. Sit down, Long Tianyu said.

She was no stranger to him.

Although he still said coldly, at least he used a better attitude than he did towards other people.

Long Tianyu, Im not here to sit down. Do you know how important you are? Mengya, Nansheng and all your supporters in the Jin State are waiting for you. Do you think youre saving her by doing this? Youre wrong. Youre just stalling for time and waiting to die with Mengya! I love Nansheng, so I must save him at all costs. In order to save him, I can even beg Miss Jin and promise to share my husband with her in the future. But I must take care of myself, because if I die, Nansheng may not be able to survive. Do you understand? Although they left us for the time being, we must live on nicely, not for ourselves, but for those who have pinned all their hopes on us, Shangguan Hui said this to Long Tianyu and to herself.

Long Tianyus situation was much better than hers. She had loved that man for more than ten years, but he was unaware of her affection for him.
