Chapter 215 Obtaining the Medicine for Treatmen (1/2)

t

Lin Mengya shook her head, thinking that this was a tricky matter. Nevertheless, she was confident she could deal with this.

She glanced at Baishao’s snow-white wrist by chance and spotted the exquisite jade bangle she was wearing, and thought it looked beautiful against Baishao’s fair skin color.

“I’ve noticed that you’ve been very busy lately. Would you like me to get someone to share your workload, so you can be relieved from all the hard labor?”

In fact, Lin Mengya did not really take Baiji’s words to heart.

She maintained her belief that Baishao was completely trustworthy.

The only thing which was tugging at Lin Mengya was that she did not wish for Baishao, who was like a sister to her, to be keeping any secret from her.

Baishao did not turn away from Lin Mengya’s gaze, neither did she look guilt-stricken. She merely gazed at Lin Mengya with a tender look in her eyes and said, “It’s alright. I’ll be fine until the Winter Solstice. Unlike the others who are so capable, I guess this is the only thing I could help you with.”

.

Lin Mengya smiled back, thinking that Baiji ought to have been overly suspicious.

After a long time, Lin Nansheng finally returned to the tent after patrolling the camp. However, no one heard anything about the three men who had gone into the capital city to get the medicine.

A strip of white appeared at the east of the horizon as the dawn broke. Lin Mengya had unknowingly fallen asleep in her elder brother’s arms.

“Baizhi, does your Master usually love to sleep this much?”

With a perplexed look, Lin Nansheng stared at his little sister sleeping soundly in his arms.

When she was young, she was always reluctant to go to sleep at bed time.

As she grew, she became a lighter sleeper. There was not a day she would obediently go to bed.

However, it seemed that she was yawning and exhausted all the time.

“Yes, Master loves to sleep nowadays. It’s because she had fallen very ill a while ago.”

“Ill? What happened?”

Lin Nansheng furrowed his brows. He had thought that Prince Yu had taken good care of his sister, but now he had his doubts.

Could his little sister be having a hard time in the prince’s mansion?

“It’s…”

Baizhi suddenly realized that she might have said something wrong. She was about to use some made-up story when fortunately Baiji came over and saved the day.

“There was once she went hunting with the prince and accidentally she fell off the horse. She took a long time to recover from her injuries.”

Lin Nansheng was a little suspicious at first, but after listening to Baiji’s explanation, his heart was put at ease.

It was no wonder this happened. His little sister had always been afraid of horses. The incident sounded plausible.

“Was it a serious injury?”

Baiji smiled and in a reassuring tone she said, “Please be at ease. Our Master had been specially treated and taken care of by the imperial physician and had almost fully recovered. The physician said since she had injured her ligaments and bones, she needed more care for recuperation.”

.

Actually Lin Nansheng had been taking special notice of the four maidservants of Lin Mengya the moment entered the tent.

Apart from Baizhi, whom he knew since young, the other three were apparently excellent talents besides being good-looking.

He felt much at easing knowing that his younger sister was surrounded by them.

As he returned his gaze to his little sister who was now a married woman, a tender feeling welled up inside him.

He was thankful that she was doing well.

“They’re back! Master, the prince and Childe Yu are back!”

Baishao cried out excitedly and woke Lin Mengya immediately. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked out the tent to realize that the sky was bright.

“Are they back? That’s great!”

She wriggled out of his elder brother’s embrace and tried to stand up, however, a dizzy spell came to her and she had to sit back down.

She massaged her glabella and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to eat anything since last night from all the frenzy.

The three men, covered in dust, immediately spotted Lin Mengya, who was at this moment, in another man’s embrace.

Although that man was none other than Lin Mengya’s elder brother, it was apparent from their eyes that they had mixed feeling about what they saw.

“What’s the matter? Baizhi, will you bring your master some food?” instructed Lin Nansheng, feeling pained.

Lin Nansheng knew exactly what was happening to his younger sister.

“Yes, I’ll go prepare the food right away.”

Baizhi hurried away to look for food, while the three men took out some warm food hidden in their coats and passed them to Lin Mengya.

In Lin Zhongyu’s hands were the most nice-smelling pork buns, while Qinghu was holding sweet pies that smelt alluring.

However, Lin Mengya’s eyes were drawn towards what was in Long Tianhao’s hands.

Nestled in his big hands was a honey glazed chicken drumstick which was giving off a heavenly aroma.

Lin Mengya took the drumstick and bit down on it. Immediately, the juice from it filled her mouth.

“Oh, the drumstick is indeed the most delicious!”

Long Tianhao smirked at the other two men smugly.

See, Lin Mengya had chosen his lotus leave chicken drumstick over what they had to offer.

Lin Mengya, who was totally absorbed in eating that she failed to notice the little competition between the three men.

The fragrant pies and pork buns eventually did not escape her clutches.

Under the four maidservants’ shocked gazes, Lin Mengya finished eating the amount of food which she usually could not even finish in an entire day.

She patted her slightly bulging stomach, looking very satisfied.

“Alright, time to start working.”

Lin Mengya turned around and strode into the tent, leaving behind the bunch of stunned maidservants.
