Chapter 98 A Completely Safe Plan (1/2)

Qinghu had given Lin Mengya ideas again. To him, everyone else was a fleeting cloud other than his lass.

However, there was no way Lin Mengya could bring herself to be so heartless. Baizhi's protectiveness over her had surpassed that of a sister.

She would never sacrifice Baizhi for anything.

”From the way King Ming was acting, he was set on getting his hands on Baizhi. It was not that there were no other women in the western vassal state. Why would he want a Dajin woman as a wife?”

Baizhi was still laughing in a carefree manner in the garden.

Compared to Lin Mengya, Baizhi behaved more like a girl at her age. She was full of sunshine, sweetness and brilliant smiles.

She supposed Baizhi would be able to maintain her exceptional nature even if she were to live in affliction and suffering.

There was not a day when Lin Mengya did not think that Baizhi was the strongest of them in her courtyard.

”No! There's no way I would allow Baizhi to marry Hu Tianbei!”

Lin Mengya had made up her mind as she got up from her seat. She tidied up the place and left Liuxin Courtyard without bringing anyone with her.

It looked like she had to discuss with Long Tianhao with regard to this matter so they could arrive at the best strategy.

She began walking briskly and soon arrived at Long Tianhao's study.

She was about to knock on the door but she suddenly hesitated.

After all, she was the reason for this trouble.

Was she being too unreasonable if she wanted Long Tianhao to salvage the situation now?

As this thought came to mind, she decided against the idea. However, as she turned around, Long Tianhao's voice echoed through the air.

”Who's there?”

She was totally unprepared now that she was found out.

Lin Mengya braced herself as she lightly pushed open the door to Long Tianhao's study.

”It's me. Your Highness, the Prince.”

This was the first time in her life that Lin Mengya had sincerely come to ask someone for a favor.

She put on a sweet smile on her face, as she tried to portray a meek and harmless image.

At this moment, Long Tianhao was sitting at the study table and going through the documents. He lifted his gaze to her and said casually,

”What's the matter? Just say it. That smile on your face-- doesn't suit you.”

The smile on Lin Mengya's face froze instantly.

She could not imagine the Long Tianhao, who pulled a straight face all day long, was also very good at sarcasm.

”Your Highness, I indeed have a favor to ask of you. I was wondering if you can help.”

Long Tianhao lifted his head and glanced at her, then gave her a serious nod.

Weighing her options, she finally bit the bullet and said,

”I want to talk about Baizhi. She's not just my maidservant, but she is also like a sister to me. I don't wish for her to marry for convenience. All the more, I don't want her to suffer.”

He was surprised that Lin Mengya asked his favor for the sake of her maidservant.

After careful consideration, however, it was within her expectation after all.

Long Tianhao put down the brush in his hand and walked up to her. He reached into his clothes and took out a secret letter.

”This is...”

”This letter recorded all the proof of Hu Lunan's evil plan of usurping the throne over the years. I suppose you know how to make good use of it at this moment, right?”

She turned to look at the letter in surprise. She had not imagined that things would work out so easily.

”No, Your Highness. The letter is too valuable to be wasted on this issue! I can't...”

Every piece of information was obtained at the expense of countless sacrifices.

Being in Prince Yu's Mansion, Lin Mengya was well aware of how precious and important these things were.

However, Long Tianhao was determined in his attitude.

He grabbed her hand and stuffed the letter into her hands forcefully.

”If you don't make use of it, it would be a piece of useless paper. You may go now, I'm busy with other business.”

Long Tianhao was not even giving her a chance to turn down his offer of the letter. He did not even give her a frown.

Lin Mengya opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Eventually, she excused herself from the prince, holding tightly to the secret letter.

She could still feel the warmth of Long Tianhao's touch on her finger. Although his hand was at the same temperature as her body temperature, at the moment when they touched, it felt like hot iron searing onto her heart.

Long Tianhao, who could have gained much more benefits using this secret letter, had so easily passed the letter on to her.

To her, Baizhi was very important. However, to Long Tianhao, Baizhi did not mean anything.

Why did Long Tianhao do this?

At this juncture, the clear-headed Lin Mengya starting to feel perplexed.

She could longer convince herself that Long Tianhao to her was simply her boss who provided food for her.

Lin Mengya was so confused that she was making circles in the garden.

She was totally oblivious to the pair of malicious eyes following her around all that time.

At the mini pavilion in the garden, Lin Mengya rested her head on the table. The gentle breeze blowing on her face took away the heat away from her cheeks.

Lin Mengya, whose total age taking into consideration her present and past life was approaching forty, yet she could feel herself blushing from the mere touch with Prince Yu.

She put her palm to her smooth cheeks. She was by no means still a bashful adolescent girl.
