Chapter 864 Qinghu Went into the Palace

After a while, she felt nobody standing behind her.

Lin Mengya’s body stiffened, and she felt a chill in her heart.

Happiness seemed simple. But for her, it was like thorns. She wanted to hold it tightly, but she was afraid of being stabbed.

Lin Mengya turned around and looked at the place where Long Tianyu had disappeared. She was a little lost in thought.

Although she had come to the idea, she still felt it hard to accept the reality.

“Miss, Qinghu is here. I’ve asked him to disguise himself as a guard and sneak into the palace. Do you want to see him now?”

Baisu’s voice came from behind. Lin Mengya immediately pretended that nothing had happened and smiled.

“Okay, let him come over.”

After Long Tianyu left, Qinghu became her guardian.

With him around, she no longer had to worry about her safety.

“Miss, why are your eyes so red?”

Baisu looked at her in surprise. Lin Mengya seldom cried. So for a while, Baisu did not think she cried.

“Oh, it’s too choking inside. I’m going to wash my face. Please go in and take a look for me.”

She and Long Tianyu should have an end either early or late.

It was useless to struggle.

She slammed the cold water on her face. The coldness made her sober up a lot.

As soon as she returned to the yard, she saw a slender maid standing beside Baisu with her back to Lin Mengya.

“Miss, I brought him here.”

Baisu looked at the maid behind her hesitantly, and the expression on her face showed that she was speechless.

Lin Mengya glanced at the maid and wanted to roll her eyes at him.

“Hey, are you addicted to pretending to be a woman?”

The maid immediately turned around with a charming and romantic face with a flattering smile.

His eyebrows and eyes were delicate, but his eyes looked too frivolous.

He curled up his orchid fingers, pinched the silk handkerchief, and covered his mouth.

“Oh, I have no other choice. Now, those beauties are no match for me in the palace. Little girl, do you think so?”

He said deliberately in a shrill voice and pretended to be gentle and charming.

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes.

“Without my order, don’t let this lunatic go out.”

She felt her anger rising. She didn’t expect this guy remained the same after such a long time.

He was still twisted and abnormal.

“Yes, Miss.”

Baisu held back her smile. In fact, after disguising himself as a woman, Qinghu was more beautiful than a female.

But this guy pretended to be pretentious every time. It was no wonder that the young lady was angry.

“You’re so annoying. Aren’t you afraid that the sovereign of the Lieyun Empire will fall in love with me? Don’t worry. No matter how mighty the others are, I’ll only be yours.”

“Cough… Get away!”

She had had enough of this guy’s abnormal behavior. Lin Mengya gave Qinghu a sharp look, and the guy calmed down finally.

However, Lin Mengya felt much more relaxed after seeing him.

“How’s it going? Can she hold on?”

Just as Qinghu was about to enter, he was stopped by Lin Mengya’s glare.

With him here, she didn’t need to worry about the safety of this place.

She followed Baisu into the main hall. Because it was quite spacious, it could seal the smell of burning herbs.

No one knew what they were doing, but they had to be careful.

“She has already fainted several times. When she wakes up, she has to grit her teeth and persist. Miss, I’m afraid that if she stays here for three days, she will be badly hurt or die.”

Lin Mengya was also worried about what Baisu said.

After only one night, Ningqiu’s energy and body had been severely exhausted.

It seemed it was difficult for her to experience the three days.

“Alright. Let her come out and have a rest after this tub of herbs has been used up. I’ll seal her acupuncture points with silver needles. It may relieve some of her pain.”

They didn’t expect Ningqiu was so tough.

When they carried her out of the wooden tub, Ningqiu could still keep a clear head.

Three days passed in a flash. After Ningqiu absorbed the efficacy of the fifth tub of herbs, her energy had reduced to the extreme.

“It’s done. Ningqiu, congratulations.”

Lin Mengya wiped the sweat on her forehead. She had to prick her fingers to take blood every time. Now she didn’t need it anymore.

The feeling of endless needle pricking was uncomfortable.

However, compared with Ningqiu, the pain she had suffered was not worth mentioning.

“Thank you for protecting me. Miss Helan, is it enough?”

In just three days, Ningqiu had lost a lot of weight.

Lin Mengya nodded and poured some herbs into the tub again.

They were to strengthen Ningqiu’s body.

“Almost. Madam will finish the other things. We will only need to wait.”

After creating a chosen witch, they should get a good identity for her.

She believed in the Emperor and his wife. They knew what to do.

“That’s good. I thought I was going to die. Now I understand that the most uncomfortable thing is not death but the suffering.”

A smile appeared on Lin Mengya’s weak face, showing that she had survived a disaster.

Ningqiu also seemed to be more detached than three days ago.

Although the hell-like torture brought physical pain, when it was over, the endurance of people would become much stronger.

At least Ningqiu had changed a lot.

“You have gone through the first stage. With this foundation, the rest of the things are much easier for you. Take a rest first. Let’s set off tomorrow. Let’s talk about it later.”

After comforting Ningqiu, Lin Mengya came out of the main hall and closed the door carefully.

Now everything was ready. At this time, Xiaoyu had almost finished half of the way.

If they set off with light packs, they could catch up with Xiaoyu.

But before that, Xiaoyu might be in danger.

However, Wanyan Lie and his men would never allow Xiaoyu to get hurt.

He was their only hope of saving Lieyun.

In the side chamber where Lin Mengya lived, Qinghu was massaging Lin Mengya’s shoulders and legs gallantly.

“Little girl, you can’t leave me behind this time. You heartless girl, you don’t know how scared I was when you had gone away.”

Although Qinghu still behaved frivolously, Lin Mengya could feel that she was a little worried.

She found her disappearance last time had a great impact on those who cared about her.

Other than Qinghu and her companions, she was also pleasantly surprised after seeing them.

Last time, when she decided to temporarily abandon these familiar memories, she was sad.

She had lost them once, so she wanted to cherish it now.

Lin Mengya patted Qinghu’s hand. She had not slept well for three days. Now, she was relieved of a lot of the pain in her body by Qinghu’s gentle hand.

“Yes, I got it.”

Qinghu was surprised that Lin Mengya was so obedient.

The deep affection hidden behind the frivolousness was more intense than the love between a man and a woman.

“I’ve got a rough idea of Xiaoyu. Are you sure you want to help him ascend the throne, Miss?”

Lin Mengya opened her eyes and looked at Qinghu in confusion.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong?”

Qinghu was smart. Lin Mengya was concerned about his opinion.

“No, I don’t feel anything wrong. Do you know the headquarters of the Candle Dragon Cult is in Lieyun Empire? With poisonous miasma, insects, and grass all year round, covered by a lush mountain forest, no one could find it.”

Lin Mengya was also on the alert.

She had guessed before. But now, she thought the land of the Lieyun Empire was the safest place for the Candle Dragon Cult.

Did it have anything to do with whether Xiaoyu could ascend the throne or not?

“Don’t you wonder why the Candle Dragon Cult could exist for hundreds of years? Lieyun also has developed for hundreds of years. Why doesn’t it accept outsiders?”

Lin Mengya came up with a strange idea.

“Do you mean that the Candle Dragon Cult is the base of the Lieyun Empire? Is it possible? According to the Emperor’s character, he will never allow such a thing to happen.”

Although this idea seemed to be a little incredible, it was hard for Lin Mengya to accept that one day, the people she was familiar with would become different overnight.

“What if the Emperor is the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult? Think about it carefully. Even if Xiaoyu sneaked into the Candle Dragon Cult, why was he not found out with his capability? Unless there is someone around them who knows the weakness of the Candle Dragon Cult. Even I can’t do that.”

Qinghu’s words stunned Lin Mengya on the spot.

But after thinking about the usual style of the Emperor, Lin Mengya shook her head again.

“It’s impossible. The Candle Dragon Cult is so cruel and heartless. They don’t take human lives seriously at all. The Emperor is not like this. Although he is cruel and merciless, I can feel that he has some pity for lives.”

Furthermore, the Emperor loved his wife so deeply. He even had a trace of pity and affection for Yao Lu.

She could not believe that the Emperor was the leader of the cruel Candle Dragon Cult.

People who had love in their hearts would never do such a cruel thing.

“I didn’t mean that the Emperor must be the leader. I meant that if the Candle Dragon Cult is the Lieyun Empire, what will you do then?”

Qinghu’s words were a little complex. Lin Mengya understood.
