Chapter 185 Mr. Genius (1/2)

“I will take him there as soon as possible. But don’t tell others about me.”

An invisible sorrow flashed in Yunzhu’s eyes.

“Okay, that’s settled.”

Lin Mengya hated invading the privacy of others, especially someone like Yunzhu whose sorrow even she could not identify with.

As long as Yunzhu was useful to her, she didn’t care about anything else.

“Okay. Moran told me that many killers who served in Peach Blossom Dock have been contacted. Now, we need a name.”

Yunzhu quickly adjusted to the position of governor and worked on it.

Lin Mengya thought for a while and then gently said,

“Big Three Hall. It is a drugstore, but in fact, it is Big Three Hall.”

Yunzhu was excited. Big Three Hall sounded quite extraordinary.

“If someone asks for medical help, they have to pass three trials. You will choose the top three from the winners, and call them Mr. Genius. Vagabonds have to pass the three trials before they join Big Three Hall or ask for medical help.”

Lin Mengya set a high standard. Common people would buy nothing but drugs of high quality from Big Three Hall.

It was only poisoning that she did well in.

Common people would hardly ever ask for that.

Therefore, she just needed to show up when necessary.

The money from detoxifying others in the drugstore would be enough to run Big Three Hall well.

Those itinerant wanderers were all rich enough.

It would be stupid of Lin Mengya not to make use of them and make a fortune.

“I see, Master. Believe me, I will definitely run Big Three Hall well. Master, I think it would be better if you go to Big Three Hall on a fixed schedule. You know, it’s difficult to enter your house.”

Lin Mengya knew what Yunzhu meant. Night was guarding her.

Night, who never eavesdropped on her, kept his eyes on whoever came into her house in case of any contingency.

Her identity would be exposed sooner or later if Yunzhu became a frequent visitor here.

It would therefore be better to handle the affairs of Big Three Hall on a fixed schedule.

“I will go there on the first and fifth day of every month. Remember, don’t talk to others about me. You are the owner of Big Three Hall.”

Lin Mengya thought herself to be a bad leader.

Therefore, she would like someone capable of governing to do that thing.

Yunzhu nodded. After talking for a while longer, she silently left.

Lin Mengya opened the window and a gust of cool wind made her huddle up into her robe.

These days, she had been living such a soul-stirring life.

Someone kept planning to hurt her whether in public or in private.

“Be careful. You’ll get a cold.”

In the moonlight, a figure in black approached.

The wind blew his long hair up, and his face looked indifferent but still handsome.

Lin Mengya placed her hand under her chin and gave him a tender smile.

“Why did you come here so late?”

Long Tianhao wanted to ask this himself. He had tried every means to fall asleep, but he failed tonight.

And then, he unconsciously wandered into her place with a lantern.

In the light, she looked graceful, quiet, and as elegant as a fairy on earth.

She was not wearing any ornament on her head, perhaps because she was going to bed, but it made her look beautifully lazy.

Long Tianhao was surprised by her beauty, and a current of warmth rippled in his heart.

“I…just don’t want to sleep.”

‘Losing sleep?’ Lin Mengya naturally opened the door and waited for Long Tianhao the way a real wife would do.

“Are you worried about Concubine De?”

Concubine De had been kept in the Palace for a couple of days now. Long Tianhao requested many close officials to inquire after her, only to be told that the Empress only talked about the old days with Concubine De.

Anxiety fermented in their minds.

‘What old days did they have? Were they actually even that close?’

“Yes. My people told me that everything is fine in the Palace. Mother was seen in the Palace of the Empress every day. They said that the doctor treated Mother because she caught a cold.”

Sitting on the warm bed, Long Tianhao seemed a little tired.

There was rarely time for both of them to stay with each other quietly. His tone turned even more tender.

“I believe the Empress dares not do something to Concubine De publicly. Many people have their eyes on her now, after all. Perhaps Concubine De really had a cold. Oh, have you checked the doctor’s record?”

Long Tianhao nodded. He had already checked.

It stated that Concubine De caught a cold.

On the surface, there was nothing wrong.

“We had better wait and see. Don’t worry, Your Highness, if they really wanted to do something, Concubine De will not let them. Concubine De is more powerful than she seemed these past years.”

Lin Mengya comforted him in a gentle tone, but she felt worried as well.

The Empress was second only to the Emperor.

She possessed supreme power in Dajin.

Every time she met the Empress, Lin Mengya would be on guard for all possible danger.

The Empress was the only one who made her feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

The Empress was unusual.

“Mother has sacrificed a lot for me even since I was young.”

Tonight, Long Tianhao did talk to Lin Mengya about his past for no reason.

Perhaps it was because the quietness at night aroused his fragility deep inside no matter how strong he looked outside.

Or maybe it was because only Lin Mengya, in such a grand mansion, could understand his concerns about his mother.

From the very first sentence, his memories began to flood out.
