Chapter 93: I Can Help You

At the mention of this issue, even Long Tianhao found it especially strange.

During that period of time, Ye had sent out secret agents to investigate the matter more than once. The reports he got was that Miss Lin was repulsive-looking and totally insane.

This was all part of the Queen’s plan to use Concubine De to threaten and oppress him.

Little did he expect that he had stumbled upon a treasure.

He was initially wary of Lin Mengya, however, as time went by, he slowly let his guard down on her.

Although she was a tough lady, her eyes were clear and she did things in the open, even if she meant to harm.

Actually, after careful consideration, she had her reasons for everything she did.

Perhaps things happened the way she claimed it to be, that she was stimulated by the shock she experienced when she was in the bridal sedan.

As Long Tianhao went into deep thoughts, Qinghu spotted him.

After signaling to Lin Mengya with a look in his eyes, Qinghu disappeared.

Lin Mengya was left on her own in the pavilion to enjoy the sight of the moon.

“Your Highness, the Prince, why are you trying to hide since you’ve come?”

Her crisp voice was raised to a higher pitch as she spoke and Long Tianhao was slightly taken aback. Nevertheless, he walked out from the shadows quietly.

“I will be in charge of your safety from now on.”

Lin Mengya looked blankly at Long Tianhao for a few seconds before she recovered.

She smiled faintly and with a soft voice, she said,

“In that case, thanks, Your Highness.”

Long Tianhao was a man of his words. He would bring to pass whatever he promised to do.

By this time, she was surrounded by highly skilled people in martial arts. She supposed no evil man could even get closer to her.

The words of Long Tianhao carried much more weight than all that pointless insurance.

“I’ve sent men to do some investigation. Those men who attacked you belong to the Crown Prince’s death squad. The only thing was that they don’t usually show themselves.”

“So…”

“So I have a feeling that they were not the Crown Prince’s men.”

Lin Mengya looked at the princes with admiration.

It appeared that Long Tianhao was not just a good-looking dude, but was extremely intelligent too.

He realized that they were able to arrive at a common understanding regarding certain issues.

She was many times better than his silly friends were.

“That’s exactly my thoughts, I find them very strange. Every move of theirs was ruthless and fatal, yet they were so quick to retreat and did not even try to remove their comrades’ dead bodies. They didn’t look like they were from the death squad, who would go all out to complete their mission. They could be putting up an act, yet it looked so real.”

To common people who meet with such an attack, they would first try to investigate the whereabouts of the attackers.

However, the dead bodies that were left behind did not present any identity or leads.

The only thing that was left behind was the trigonous dart, which could be used to prove the identity of the attackers.

Although the clues were pointing towards the Crown Prince, yet it also proved him to be innocent.

Of course, it could also mean the Crown Prince had purposely designed this suspicious attack episode.

“That dart was the masterpiece of a weapon maker in the Crown Prince’s Mansion. Each man in the death squad carried one of these darts as prove of his identity. There was venom on the dart, which could kill a person upon contact.”

Long Tianhao saw the trigonous dart left behind by Qinghu on the stone table and frowned.

While Lin Mengya was looking at Long Tianhao with astonishment. She realized she had underestimated this Prince Yu all these while.

“I would not expect Your Highness to know about this secret.”

All along, she had thought that Long Tianhao was being repressed by the Crown Prince. He must have a reason for it.

However, she did not expect him to be all-known, so much so that he even knew about the Crown Prince’s death squad.

“Actually, all these years we have been aware of what’s going on each other’s life. Although I’m totally aware of what went on in the Crown Prince’s Mansion, I cannot lay a finger on him. Do you understand?”

“So that was it,” sighed Lin Mengya.

It was no wonder that despite the fact that her Liuxin Courtyard, Long Tianhao’s Qinwu Courtyard, and Concubine De’s Art Courtyard were heavily guarded,

Her whereabouts were still exposed.

“No wonder those mishaps befell me earlier on because my whereabouts were disclosed somehow. Now I knew why.”

Long Tianhao nodded as he agreed that Lin Mengya had many close shaves with death from secret ambushes or outright attacks.

Sometimes he even believed that Lin Mengya must be a very lucky or that she had the special protection from some deities.

There had never been one person who was able to survive Qinghu from Peach Blossom Dock, nor make him give Ye to her.

Perhaps she was really someone unique.

“Please inform me beforehand of whatever you plan to do from now on. You may also freely mobilize the guards in the mansion.”

To Lin Mengya, it was pointless trying to put her under durance.

It would be a better idea to just let her handle. It could bring about a better result.

“Why? May I know why, Your Highness, the prince?”

She could sense that Long Tianhao’s attitude towards her was getting a bit strange.

“I don’t want to be under someone else’s control once again.”

In the last twenty years, although he had always had the Emperor, his father’s protection, he had to tip-top around as he lived under the repression of the Crown Prince。

His mother, too, had been very cautious in whatever she did in the palace. However, she was still threatened by the Queen in the end.

So much so that during King Ming’s visit this time, he was being blocked outside Taihe palace when he requested to see the Emperor, his father.

It turned out that the Queen and the Crown Prince were the ones who obstructed him.

He had enough of this.

“I understand now.”

From how Long Tianhao stood up for her at the banquet today, he had basically declared war against the Queen and the Crown Prince.

If Long Tianhao did not revolt, he would be accused of a more serious crime.

At this time, the Crown Prince was displaying signs of being a tyrant even before he was made the emperor.

By the time, he took over as emperor, would they not be beheaded for sure?

Lin Mengya was not the kind who would resign to fate when being bullied.

“It’s good that you finally understand. Go and rest since it’s getting late.”

Long Tianhao nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at the prince’s silhouette, Lin Mengya’s heart was touched for the first time by this man.

Long Tianhao may appear aloof on the outside, but he was willing to pay any price to protect the person he desired to protect.

She wondered who would be the blessed girl who would take up that place in his heart.

She shook her head as she also wondered why she was being so sentimental today.

Lin Mengya found it hard to fall asleep that night. She lied on the bed and started analyzing the current situation.

Under normal circumstance, no incidents that befall her should have happened under the Emperor’s nose.

However, they did happen.

The princess was kidnapped, and later she stirred up a commotion in public and the assassination that happened after dark.

These incidents should not have happened in the capital city of a nation, unless there was someone in power who was behind all that had happened.

Alternatively, perhaps these people had made special plans just to target her.

However, no one would find out that she was secretly working for Long Tianhao.

However, why was she always the one to meet with danger?

This was something that Lin Mengya perplexed about.

If their plan was simply to take down Long Tianhao and harm Concubine De, that would be more effective than targeting her.

When she flipped around in her bed, she saw the moonlight was reflecting off the peony accessory on the desk.

Lin Mengya came to a sudden realization.

This was part of the dowry gifted to her by her father.

The main target of the attackers was the power of the Lin family, the power in her father and brother’s hands.

If she were to die a sudden death in Prince Yu’s Mansion, Prince Yu would be the first to be blamed.

In addition, given that her brother and father doted on her, her father and brother would hate Long Tianhao if he were unable to provide an acceptable reason.

For this reason, she had to quickly write a letter to her father and brother to explain the situation to them.

At least, she had to let them know which side she was.

She secretly made up her mind to do this without going through Long Tianhao and her relationship with her father and brother.

After much thought, she dwelled on the point that Yueting was the only one in Lin’s mansion, and she would be the best conduit for sending the message.

After she made up her mind, Lin Mengya planned to make a trip to the Yues to make her request known to Yueting.

Yueting’s parents were after nobles in the capital city.

Although the two families were related by marriage, they had not been in good terms for a long time.

Because Yueting’s mother was the Queen’s good friend before the Queen entered the palace.

The Queen’s marriage arrangement was more or less part of an evil scheme.

However, even Yueting’s family did not expect that she eventually indeed fell in love with Mengya’s elder brother, the young general.

For the past years, Yueting had been secretly helping Mengya.

No matter whether it was her brother or for Yueting’s love for her brother, she had made up her mind about her visit to the Yue’s to meet Yueting’s parents.

Early the next morning, Baiji and Baishao had started commenting about the gifts they prepared for the Yues.

“Miss, everything had been prepared according to your instructions. Will you check through them?”

Although the three of them were curious about how Baisu had joined them in their mistress’s house so abruptly overnight, they carried out their respective duties accordingly and did not gossip.

Nodding her head, Lin Mengya had a look at the lift of gifts.

Altogether, there were over ten items of gifts.

There were the precious jade cicada, new cakes, and high-quality Linluo fabric. They had prepared gifts from acquired from foreign lands, which could not be found or seen anywhere in the country.

“Not bad at all. These things are totally presentable. Follow me there, all four you. Also, inform Qinghu that he would be staying back to keep watch at home.”

Just when Lin Mengya finished her sentence, there was a voice expressing displeasure coming from within the room.

Apart from Baisu, the other three were used to this happening all the time here.

“Don’t be alarmed. This person is my bodyguard. Just like you, he is here to protect me and make sure I’m safe.”

From Baisu’s facial expression, it was obvious that she did not welcome Qinghu’s presence.

Lin Mengya smiled and patted Baisu lightly on her shoulder as an indication for her to relax and not be alarmed.

Baisu kept the sword in her hand. She was aware that there was the presence of someone highly skilled in martial arts within this courtyard.

She did not expect this guard in front of the princess was such a skilled martial artist.

What a strange mansion and what a strange princess.
