Chapter 77 Whats Your Surname? (1/2)
”Will this group of people kill us?”
Baizhi, who was leaning to her side in the carriage was filled with fear.
Although their hands and legs were bounded, it was tightly secured. The group of people must think that they could not escape anyway.
Lin Mingya and Baizhi helped untie the robe on each others' limbs and Lin Mengya did not make an attempt to escape.
The two merely lean onto each other as they tried to save their energy.
They could only hear the sound of hooves and no conversations were heard.
These men were highly trained in that they were clear about their target. They were not simply some bandits.
”We have brought the target here, now, where's Master?”
Lin Mengya had lost track of time when she suddenly felt that the horse carriage came to a stop.
The voice of a strange man could be heard coming from outside.
They had a plan, just as she had expected. Could they be planning on kidnap and extortion?
That could not be, because this trip to offer incense with Concubine De was a last minute decision.
Long Tianhao had just combed through the servants in the prince's mansion to eradicate all suspected spies and secret agents. At least they were banished out of the courts.
No one would possibly know that she had accompanied Concubine De on this trip to offer incense.
How on earth did these men find out her real identity?
”Good. Master is right inside, just bring them in.”
The door to the carriage opened abruptly.
Light flooded the carriage so suddenly that she had to squint her eyes.
The man in black was still in his mask and was definitely not surprised that she was awakened abruptly.
”This way please.”
With grace, Lin Mengya alighted the horse carriage, holding on to Baizhi. She totally did not appear to be someone being held hostage.
Outside the carriage, the sky was covered with the afterglow of the sunset.
She had not imagined that it was already this late.
Lin Mengya set her eyes on the courtyard of a regular looking house surrounded by golden fields of harvest. This must be a farmhouse on the outskirts of a city.
”A welcome to Princess Yu, that you've come all the way here. Forgive our abruptness.”
The voice of a strange man sounded from the courtyard.
Lin Mengya kept a straight face and did not betray any expression of fear.
A friendly-looking middle-aged man dressed in a dark navy long robe emerged from the courtyard.
Although he looked amicable, his eyes were sharp and did not look like a simple person.
”I don't dare to accept your kindness. Since I'm here, why does your master so cowardly, and not show himself?”
Although this man standing before Lin Mengya appeared to be someone of a certain amount of authority, he was definitely not the master.
A light flash across the man's eyes when he heard Lin Mengya's words, but he did not try to deny it.
”My master is in the house, this way in please!”
Lin Mengya took measured steps as she proceeded into the courtyard. From the outside, it seemed that it was a regular house, but it was, in fact, a rather spacious courtyard.
The security was definitely tight, with countless men in black all around, be it inside or outside the courtyard.
What a generous person. Eliminating the possibility of he being a bandit, his person appeared to be specifically targetting her.
Walking through the courtyards and entering the main hall of the house, the man continued on to the back door and opened it.
Little did Lin Mengya expect that there was another world beyond the back door that led into the backyard.
Although this place could not be compared to the prince's mansion, it was nevertheless rather grand.
Lin Mengya's heart sank as she had not imagined that there would be such a well-camouflaged luxurious mansion in this secluded place.
”My master is inside, Your Highness. This way please.”
The man led Lin Mengya to the main building as his mouth curled into a sincere smile.
There could not be a monster inside, could there?
She held her head high as she entered the house. What came into sight was an extra large bed.
Was this someone's bedroom?
”You truly live up to the reputation of being the most beautiful woman in Dajin, your beauty is extraordinary.”
A frivolous voice sounded and Lin Mengy looked warily around the room as a man walked into sight.
He did not look like someone from Dajin from the way he dressed.
His hooked nose and cold eyes were a far cry from the handsome image of a man.
This man was not going to be easy to deal with!
”What do you mean by the most beautiful woman of Dajin? I think you've got the wrong person!”
She was an ugly idiot before she was married.
Even if her looks had changed now, she had been hidden in the prince's mansion by Long Tianhao. It did not make sense to her that there were rumors about her saying that she was the most beautiful woman in Dajin.
”Oh？Even if you're not the most beautiful lady in Dajin, I, the prince, have my eyes on you now. With your beauty, all the concubines in my back palace pale in comparison with you.”
Prince?
Lin Mengya was dazed momentarily. Could he be a foreign prince?
”I'm Princess Yu, the Queen of King Yu. As a prince, you ought to know you should not be rude to me. I don't care what made you kidnap me here, but let me warn you, my husband is not someone you can handle.”
Unfortunately, this foreign prince was not deterred by the mention of Long Tianhao's name.
