She did not expect that he had used it up till now.

Thanks to the large black cloak that prevented all the smells from going out, others could not discover it.

Smelling the familiar scents, Lin Mengya got increasingly relaxed.

By the time she, whose face was revealed, was held in Long Tianyu’s arms again, she had woken up from a sound sleep.

“You’ve woken up?” he asked, sitting on a grassland, where few people trod, with her in his arms.

At the beginning, he met his subordinates here, but unexpectedly he found this place more scenic than other places, which gave him the idea to bring her here.

In fact, he preferred to take her somewhere bustling to have some fun.

However, at the sight of the weary expression on her sleeping face, he just wanted to take her to a quiet place where she could have a good sleep.

Things had been tough on her during this period.

Looking at the starry sky with a drowsy look, Lin Mengya was lost in thought for a while before realizing where the two of them were.

The air was filled with the unique fragrances of plants that were even more refreshing than those of herbs.

Lin Mengya couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Where are we?” she asked.

In fact, she had seldom hung out since she came to the Lieyun Empire, so she could only distinguish between the inner and outer capital cities.

The soft moon hung in the bright starry sky.

She didn’t know how long she had slept, and only knew that she returned to the Fengyu Court during the daytime.

By the time she woke up, it was already night.

“We are on the mountain behind the imperial palace, and it should be a forbidden area. Don’t be afraid. There’s no danger. It’s just an unfrequented place,” Long Tianyu said.

He laid her down by his side on the grassland and pressed her against his chest. The two of them enjoyed this rare moment of peace.

If they had not been here, it would have been difficult for them to put their identities aside and enjoy this rare moment of relaxation.

Long Tianyu fiddled with a strand of her hair and sighed.

Lin Mengya lifted her head to look at his jaw of fine lines.

She remembered he rarely sighed. Could it be that the night was so splendid that it made him sentimental?

“I’m going back to the Jin State in a few days, but I’m worried about leaving you here alone,” he said.

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, not expecting this day would come so suddenly.

She had a multitude of words to say to him, but eventually she could only turn them into infinite tenderness in her heart.

“I’ll take care. Leave some of your men here, and they’ll take my news to you in time. Rest assured, I won’t do anything that will break your heart anymore,” she said.

She had been aware from the very beginning that he couldn’t stay here for too long.

At present, the general situation in the Jin State had settled. The Crown Prince had been deprived of his real power, and even the Jinyuan Emperor had almost been made a mere figurehead.

However, in any case, he couldn’t be absent for too long.

He belonged to the entire Jin State rather than her.

She said, “Don’t ask me to go with you. Despite my strong willingness to return to the Jin State with you, I’m the least suitable person to go with you. Nevertheless, this is only a temporary separation. Believe me, we will spend the rest of our lives together.”

In fact, she said this for fear that he would waver in her determination.

Back then, she hardened her heart to fake her death trap to deceive him merely because he was not around.

Now he was by her side with a deep affection that she could not ignore.

Therefore, Lin Mengya could never harden her heart to hurt him anyway.

But she really could not leave with him.

“Fine, what else can I say,” he said lovingly with a hint of helplessness.

He was aware that this was her way of doing things and as long as he asked her to go with him, she certainly would not ignore his request.

However, Long Tianyu still held back the eagerness of asking her to go with him, because he knew her so well like the way she had long seen through his mind.

“I’ll visit you every few months and bring your favorite desserts in the Capital City,” he said.

She nodded. It took a long time to make a round trip between here and the Jin State.

She did not want him to be exhausted, but she found it hard to refuse tactfully.

She could only lean closer to his chest, trying to remember this feeling.

Nevertheless, this feeling had actually been deeply engraved in the depths of her heart and could not be replaced by anyone or anything.

“Have the Crown Prince and the Empress been up to anything lately?” Lin Mengya asked.

In fact, she had never stopped worrying about him. After coming to the Lieyun Empire, she could learn some significant things thanks to Xiaoyu’s information network.

This time, Long Tianyu was presumably going back to find fault with the Empress and the Crown Prince.

She had only heard from him that he made this trip to the Lieyun Empire happen thanks to the Empress and the Crown Prince.

“The evil deeds of the Empress and the Crown Prince have been made public. My father has united other clans to talk over the deposals of the Empress and the Crown Prince. At present, they have gained extreme notoriety in the Jin State and become the shame of the royal family,” Long Tianyu said coldly.

In fact, thanks to Lin Mengya’s previous plan, the Empress and the Crown Prince fell into the current situation.

The downfall of the Lin Family was not necessarily a bad thing.

The Jinyuan Emperor originally intended to deprive the Lin Family of their power temporarily.

However, Lin Mengya faked her death and her father and brother disappeared, which gave an impression that a loyal official’s family was ruined overnight with a member killed.

Some officials were bitterly disappointed, while some dropped the idea of replacing the Lin Family.

The Jinyuan Emperor was very distressed about this because this was not what he wanted.

However, Lin Mengya refused to cooperate with him time and again, which caused him enough headache.

It was too difficult to heal people after upsetting them.

At this moment, the Crown Prince and the Empress suddenly took action and integrated several neutral forces.

Seeing that his scheme was about to fail, the Jinyuan Emperor was naturally unwilling to give up.

He had no other choice but to give away his trump card to Long Tianyu.

“I have taken over the real Four-Saints Guards, and my father has given me the name list of the old royals who consider the position of the Crown Prince not as important as my father’s approval. Therefore, with their secret help, most of the officials will naturally support me,” Long Tianyu said.

The real strife for power was far more complicated than that.

Long Tianyu did not tell her the whole thing. Anyway, it was all over, and telling her about it now could only worry her.

But how could someone as smart as Lin Mengya fail to tell he hid something from her.

She involuntarily sighed in her heart, thinking she and her husband had done all they could to fight for their family and country.

“Those who turned to the Crown Prince were sent by you, weren’t they?” Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and said with great certainty.

She knew her husband best. Long Tianyu had taken a hands-off approach in recent years, but in fact, he was more scheming and tactical than his brothers.

“That is true. However, beyond this, we should thank someone for pushing him into the current situation,” Long Tianyu said with a mysterious smile.

Obviously, he wanted to keep her guessing.

After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya wondered if it was Shangguan Hui who was indeed intelligent and on her side.

But Shangguan Hui was a woman after all. The Crown Prince and the Empress definitely would not allow her to get involved in anything significant.

If it wasn’t her, could it be…

“Could it be Baili Wuchen?” Lin Mengya asked.

At the sight of the proud look, Long Tianyu showed on hearing her answer, she was stunned.

How was that possible? Didn’t Baili Wuchen hate them bitterly? Why did he betray the Crown Prince and help Long Tianyu?

Could it be that the previous dispute between Baili Wuchen and them was a trick Baili Wuchen played to gain the Crown Prince’s trust?

Long Tianyu said, “It’s not what you think. In fact, I was unaware of it at first. But on the day I held a fake funeral for you, he personally came to the mourning hall to offer his condolences. Only then did I learn the whole story. He said that he did hate you back then, but later he completely straightened out his thinking.”

It was really Baili Wuchen. Lin Mengya thought things were inconstant and different things could not be treated as the same.

In fact, Baili Wuchen did not bear a deep grudge against her.

Back then, Baili Wuchen was too lofty and arrogant, while she was too wilful, which drove them into opposition.

Nevertheless, it was difficult for her to trust Baili Wuchen.

After all, he worked as the Crown Prince’s lackey and had once led his men to spoil Long Tianyu’s plan.

“For all that, you should still watch out for Baili Wuchen. He is too smart and treacherous. It will be fine if he has really straightened out his thinking. But if he just intended to sound you out on your real situation, it will be dangerous,” Lin Mengya said with concern.

Long Tianyu was indeed extremely smart and shrewd.

But she was afraid that Long Tianyu would take the relationship between Baili Wuchen and Baili Rui into consideration. If he was used by Baili Wuchen, wouldn’t he fail on the eve of complete success?

He, certainly aware of her concern, gently kissed the hair on her temples.

At the sight that she acted like a steward who got tired from worry, he smiled cheerfully.

“It’s alright. If he dares to plot against me, my wife definitely won’t spare him,” he said, still in the mood to joke at this time.

Lin Mengya was angry, but could only elbow him hard.

However, hearing his muffled groan, she became soft-hearted and rubbed his chest.

Really! Why did he have no sense of priorities?

“Rest assured, I know Baili Wuchen better than you do. Besides, do you think I’m the kind of person who trusts someone easily? Except for my wife, other people in the world only have 70% of my trust,” Long Tianyu said.

Lin Mengya believed his words, as he never talked big.

She pursed her lips and finally put her mind at ease.

Nevertheless, she involuntarily teased him, “Well, am I even inferior to other people who have 70% of your trust?”

Despite knowing that she was joking with him, Long Tianyu still couldn’t help looking down.

He lifted his large hand high and gently patted her cute butt, assuming a posture to hit her.

But he finally gave up the good opportunity to assume the dignity and restore his dominant position in their marriage.

He said, “No one in this world other than you has 100% of my trust.”

The stars in the sky seemed to have fallen into his black eyes.
