Chapter 665 His Heart Is Torn With Anxiety

This guy…

Seeing Qinghu’s cautious look, Lin Mengya could be appeased a lot even if she was really angry.

Besides, she was not angry at all, but just pretended to be angry to tease that guy.

Since he had asked for forgiveness sincerely, of course, she would accept his apology and stop teasing him.

“Well, I forgive you this time. Speaking of which, didn’t you tell Baizhi and the others that you couldn’t come here because you were occupied with some business? In this case, why did you take the risk to hijack the carriage?”

When Qinghu saw that Lin Mengya finally returned to normal, the guilty look on his face instantly disappeared.

He said, while taking Lin Mengya’s arm, which had turned red after being tied for a long while, and trying to dissipate the blood stasis on her arm by massaging her arm carefully.

“I just can’t easily enter that temple, but I can still take action at any time outside. Speaking of which, have you met Yunshen? Have you suffered any losses?”

Why did even Qinghu know Yunshen?

Could it be that Qinghu did not dare to enter the temple because of the evil monk Yunshen?

Lin Mengya, who did not expect that, looked at Qinghu with an inquiring look, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from him.

“I’ll tell you about it later. How are you going to deal with this thing?”

Qinghu pouted. Apparently, he was talking about the carriage in which Lin Mengya had suffered a bit of hardship.

“Speaking of this, do you know what their original plan is?”

Lin Mengya looked at the carriage and asked.

“I’ve interrogated the coachman, and he said that he was supposed to drive the carriage to the cliff five kilometers away and make the carriage fall off the cliff. But I don’t think he knows the specific plan.”

Although Qinghu spoke with a relaxed expression, there was a cold look in his eyes.

Anyone daring to hurt Lin Mengya, whom he doted on, should be prepared to get killed.

“What else can it be? If I’m discovered to die with a strange man and packed gold, silver, jewelry and travelling expenses around me, what conclusion will be drawn in the end?”

Lin Mengya was really disgusted by the Empress’ means. She was wondering what the members of their Shangguan Family were thinking.

Shangguan Qing, Lin Mengwu and the Crown Prince, all of them liked to ruin girls’ reputation.

However, in this world, girls’ reputation was sometimes more important than their lives.

Otherwise, Sister Yue Ting would not have died.

Lin Mengya hid her anger deep in her heart. She had kept everything they had done in mind.

She would get a chance to get even with them sooner or later, so she didn’t have to rush it now.

“Well, just push the carriage down the cliff as they planned. Anyway, I don’t mind letting them feel joyful for a few more days. By the way, remember to take out the gold, silver and jewelry, and leave them to the bandits around this area.”

Since she couldn’t set them up for the time being, she could cause them trouble with their things.

Road robbery and murder had never been a rare thing since ancient times.

If it was reported to the local authority and these things were discovered to be exclusive for high officials and nobles, it would be fun.

“No problem. What are you going to do? Don’t forget that you are now convicted.”

As Qinghu said, he waved his hand casually. A masked man suddenly appeared and silently drove the carriage away.

Lin Mengya knew that this person was a member of the Sanjue Hall and a disciple of Qinghu by direct line. His disciples only acted on his instructions.

“What can I do? I’m going to swagger back. Anyway, I was left alone in the woodshed and forgotten by everyone. If I go back on my own initiative now, doesn’t it mean that I have a clear conscience?”

Lin Mengya blinked her eyes and put on an innocent look.

But Qinghu knew that this girl might have come up with a way to resolve the current crisis.

“Let’s go. Are you going to spend the night here?”

Lin Mengya turned around and was about to leave when she saw Qinghu standing there in a daze. She stretched out her hand and gently pulled his sleeve.

“Spend the night? Haha, Your Highness, you’re really in an aesthetic mood!”

He teased her flirtatiously again. Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at him, pulled his sleeve and went back the way they had come.

It took about half a day to travel from the Huguo Temple to the Capital City by carriage.

But in order to make the trip more comfortable for the mesdames, the carriages slowed down. They set off before dawn, and it was not until the evening that they saw the grey city wall.

Long Tianyu was at the forefront of the group on a tall horse with a serious look.

The handsome Prince Yu naturally attracted a lot of common people’s attention. But no one knew that the dissatisfaction accumulated in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano.

He glanced at the carriages behind him mercilessly.

Damn it! He learned that the Empress was going back to the imperial palace this morning. However, when all the carriages for the mesdames appeared in front of him, he did not see Lin Mengya.

He only saw Baizhi and the others, but they were under close watch by those sent by the Empress, who was a witch.

If he wasn’t watched by so many people, he would definitely rush over desperately to get Lin Mengya’s whereabouts.

However, what his father had told him before he left was still ringing in his ears.

If he had a conflict with the Empress now, the Empress and her force would take the opportunity to slander him.

He had to suppress his emotions for the sake of Mengya and his parents’ efforts.

“Go and find out why the princess didn’t join them.”

Long Tianyu turned around and gave an order to his follower in a low voice.

His follower nodded slightly and sneaked out of the fleet without being noticed.

In fact, this was the third batch of people Long Tianyu sent to search Lin Mengya.

The former two batches of people had come back and reported to him that they did not find Princess Yu and the Tenth Prince after searching the entire Huguo Temple.

Long Tianyu, who almost lost his head after getting the news, could only send another batch of people to search the surrounding area of the Huguo Temple.

If they also failed to find Lin Mengya, he was afraid that he would go crazy.

“Your Highness, you don’t have to be so worried. With her means and schemes, Her Highness may not necessarily get trapped in a crisis.”

Lin Kui knew how restless Long Tianyu had been.

This time, he came with Prince Yu. Because there were only women in the temple, he was on guard outside the temple with Prince Yu.

Compared with Long Tianyu who was flustered by over concern, he, as a bystander, saw more clearly.

Princess Yu was not an ordinary person. Although she was not as scheming as the Empress, at least she could manage to survive.

What was more, Princess Yu had plenty of capable people around her. Even the four seemingly ordinary maids in her yard were trained into extraordinary people.

As such, he didn’t think Princess Yu would get killed.

“Well, I hope so.”

Long Tianyu respond with his mind wandering. In fact, he knew better than anyone how resourceful his wife was.

Nevertheless, he just couldn’t help worrying that she would be in danger.

Moreover, he knew the Empress better than anyone. If he was a man of no scruples, the Empress could even go farther than him.

Although the Empress still seemed to be trying to maintain her relationship with the Emperor, and the two of them hadn’t come to an open break, only he knew that when it came to a life-and-death struggle, the Empress would just disregard their long-term marriage.

She, whose mind was occupied with power, considered everything else just a means to power.

He believed that even Lin Mengya could be no match for such an opponent.

As he thought about it, he became more upset. Long Tianyu even thought that he should have locked her up in their mansion regardless of all consequences. In this way, he could at least keep her away from danger.

Now he didn’t know where she was. If she met with any unforeseen disaster, she would be so helpless.

Long Tianyu didn’t dare to think further, for fear that if anything really happened to Lin Mengya, he would go crazy.

Just as the poor Prince Yu was almost overwhelmed by grief caused by concern for his wife, something suddenly hit his head.

“Who’s there?”

Long Tianyu came to his senses in an instant and looked around vigilantly.

He didn’t find any suspicious people but those civilians.

None of the members of the fleet dared to hit him with something for fun.

He glanced around with his sharp eyes, but did not find any suspicious target.

Could he just be too suspicious?

As soon as he returned to normal, he suddenly heard a slight sound of something breaking through the air.

Long Tianyu, who was extraordinarily agile, reacted in an instant.

He seemed to stretch out his hand casually, but blocked a somewhat round and solid object.

Looking around, he failed to find any clue again.

The other party seemed to try to play a trick on him rather than to hurt him.

But now it was not a good time to find out the culprit.

Long Tianyu could only lower his head and look at the hidden weapon in his hand.

Wasn’t that—

All of a sudden, Long Tianyu opened his eyes wide with a flash of ecstasy.

So that was how it was. Finally, Long Tianyu regained his usual calmness and composure.

“Cheer up. The Capital City is right in front of us!”

His mellow voice cheered up all the imperial guards.

They didn’t know why Prince Yu, who had been depressed all the way, suddenly became so spirited, but they felt glad that their Commander in Chief had returned to normal.

“Tell everyone to retreat to the mansion immediately.”

Long Tianyu gave an order to Lin Kui in a low voice, but the latter was stunned and looked at his master in confusion.

What was going on? Why did his master, who had been exhausted from anxiety just now, become so spirited now?

“Yes.”

When he responded, he inadvertently glanced at the thing in Prince Yu’s hands.

Huh? Wasn’t it a taro?
