Chapter 134 Public Sentimen (1/2)

”Thank goodness that all the people seemed to be well. Why don't you take a rest, master?”

Lin Mengya was most exhausted. She had been toiling the entire night, even up until now, she had been working like a spinning top that had not stopped turning.

”It's alright, I used to stand for a day and a night when I was working in the laboratory.”

These words just slipped out of her mouth without her realizing at first. She had in fact been talking about what happened in her previous life.

Fortunately, the four maidservants were dizzy and groggy from exhaustion and did not register what she was saying.

”Alright, go in the horse carriage to take a rest, so you don't have to be awoken later when we are setting out.”

The five criminals, who were from the Peach Blossom Dock, had been secretly locked up by Zhu Aizhi.

The horse carriage had also been washed to be squeaky clean. Zhu Aizhi was, in fact, a talent and a very efficient worker.

The four maidservants could not wait to return to their spacious horse carriage. Once in there, they fell asleep almost immediately.

There were peace and quiet both inside and outside the courtyard at this moment.

As Lin Mengya cast her eyes on the soldiers in the courtyard, her heart was moved with compassion.

The Crown Prince and the ministers, being the subject of protection, were sleeping comfortably on soft warm beds, while these real heroes were resting on the cold and hard floor in the courtyard.

This was the inequality in society. It was not in her power alone to change this fact.

She loosened up her shoulders, then went back into her room.

Long Qinghan and Hu Tianbei were sleeping so soundly that it seemed that they would not awaken even if the world collapsed on them.

Long Tianhao was sitting on the heated brick bed. Lin Mengya had no idea why he was sleeping there while sitting upright.

Shaking her head, she shot a disapproving glance at the two men on the bed, supposing that they had taken up all the space, so Long Tianhao was left with no choice.

Lin Mengya opened the cabinets and took out a blanket which she had wanted to put on Long Tianhao.

Not knowing if she had bumped into him, but Long Tianhao suddenly started falling backward.

Her belt was caught by some accessories Long Tianhao was wearing, and having been caught unprepared, Lin Mengya ended up in Long Tianhao's arms.

Instinctively, Long Tianhao's large hand landed on her slim waist.

Her heart skipped a beat in that instant, but Long Tianhao's embrace felt firm and warm.

Exhaustion hit her suddenly. Without thinking too much, Lin Mengya fell in a deep sleep in Long Tianhao's arms.

Eh? Why was the bed moving?

As Lin Mengya stretched her aching body, she could feel a numb yet tinkling sensation in her shoulders and waist.

She adjusted her position until she felt more comfortable, then continued to sleep.

The bed felt so soft and warm. It would be even better if the bed did not move.

Lin Mengya gradually opened her eyes and what came into sight was a snow-white undershirt.

Err...

As she lifted up her head slowly, she saw a handsome face with well-defined contours. Wait! Why was she lying intimately with Long Tianhao who was only in his undershirt?

Lin Mengya's brain had to be shut down at this instant and rebooted.

Her line of vision returned to her own sleeve, and that was when she realized that she was also in her undershirt!

What happened?!

”Are you awake?”

Long Tianhao opened his eyes immediately when he felt the small movement of the girl in his arms.

Looking at the startled expression on the girl's face, Long Tianhao's gaze went to and from her and himself. Obviously, his mood had lifted.

”Your Highness, we... we...”

Did we do anything silly? Lin Mengya could not bring herself to say the words, after all, they were husband and wife by name.

Nevertheless, she was not prepared for this!

”I saw that you were really exhausted, I've asked Baiji to help you change into this, so you could sleep better. We're almost arriving in the capital city. Baiji will help you dress up in a while.”

Long Tianhao tried to explain the entire situation to her as simply as possible. As he spoke, he thought what happened was rather funny.

When he woke up this morning, he realized that Lin Mengya had fallen asleep on him.

He had wanted to wake her, but when he remembered that she had labored the entire night, he could not bring himself to do that.

However, both he and his princess looked like beggars in the streets in those filthy clothes. He thought it was too inappropriate.

Therefore he ordered the servants to help change them into clean clothes.

While there was still some distance before they reach the capital city, Long Tianhao, together with Lin Mengya, caught up on their sleep in the horse carriage.

Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Long Tianhao's words.

Firstly, she had kept her chastity.

Secondly, they were approaching the capital city.

Thirdly... what was with the sense of loss in her heart?

Long Tianhao had put on his clothes quickly, all the while unaware of Lin Mengya's behavior. She was pacing back and forth by the corner of the carriage and her thoughts were racing as she imagined different scenarios accompanied by a myriad of expressions.

It was not until he exited from the carriage that Lin Mengya called for her four maidservants to come into the carriage. Even at that time, she was still preoccupied with her wild imaginations.

”Master, I think you should still exercise some self-control even if the prince and you are so in love with each other.”

Of the four maidservants, Baizhi was the boldest. She had no reservations whatsoever when she joked.

”Why are you spouting nonsense?”

Lin Mengya turned around only to realize that her four maidservants were blushing and smiling strangely at her.

Wait! Did they misunderstand that Long Tianhao and she were having 'car sex'?

Good heavens! What had become of her innocence? Her chastity? Had they been shattered?
