Chapter 263 An Visitor From Lin Family (1/2)

“Someone from my home?” Lin Mengya’s thoughts were mingled with hope and fear.

After cleaning her hands, she went to the living room.

When she entered the room, she saw a slim figure standing there.

“Brother! It’s you!”

She looked at Lin Nansheng in surprise. She had never imagined that the ‘someone’ would be her elder brother, Lin Nansheng.

Lin Nansheng turned back and gave her a doting smile, as what he always did, when they were children.

“I was so worried about you, so I arranged to come here. How is it going recently?”

Lin Mengya looked noble, elegant and graceful. But Lin Nansheng still felt regret, that she could not live the light-hearted life she had before.

“I’m good. Don’t worry about me. Oh, brother, have you had a meal? Baizhi, go to the kitchen and prepare some food.”

Then, Lin Mengya took Lin Nansheng to Liuxin Courtyard.

When he entered the yard, Lin Nansheng saw all kinds of precious flowers growing profusely there. He shook his head and thought that it would have been a waste, if it was not used by his sister.

“Sister, it’s well-decorated here, but these artificial hills, rocks or flowers are not precious enough. Later on, I will find more valuable ones, and then redecorate it, okay?”

Hearing that, Lin Mengya became speechless. “Brother, Qinghu, or Xiaoyu, why are they so keen on placing precious things in my yard?”

“It’s good enough here. Oh, brother, why did father let you come to see me?”

Steward Deng was experienced and also a master in dealing with all kinds of affairs. If she could not handle it, she would die for it.

Only her maids were with her in the Liuxin Courtyard, no strangers. It was such a relief. She was really worried that Lin Nansheng would see her being busy, and thought that Long TianhaoLong Tianyu was bullying her.

“Father has agreed to help you enter the Palace. “But father wants you know that, although our people are there, they would not show up, unless there’s an emergency. So you must be very careful when entering the Palace.”

Lin Mengya nodded. Lin Muzhi was really awesome to have arranged everything so well, in just a few days. When it came to the Palace, Lin Mengya could not do better than her father.

“And, King of Chongshan, and King of Lishan, will not give you a hand, unless there’s no other way. You must be clear about it. After all, although they are father’s old friends, they are still one of those powers in the court. It’s complicated and they have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and look at the big picture. Do you understand?”

In fact, Lin Mengya did not think too much, when she first had the idea to enter the Palace. Her original plan was only to check on His Majesty’s health condition.

But now, a slight move on one part may affect the situation as a whole. Perhaps when she entered the Palace, Lin Muzhi and other officials would start their plans immediately.

“I understand. Actually, I am able to protect myself as well. The Empress dares not do anything to me for now. Did father tell you anything else?”

Long TianhaoLong Tianyu had his people in the Palace as well, but she heard that he still could not get close to His Majesty.

Information from the Palace said that His Majesty was still unconscious. Whether he was alive or not, was still not confirmed.

“Father also got news that, the Empress and the Crown Prince would go to His Majesty’s room every three days, unaccompanied. Every time they came out, their faces would be very sullen. So father took a wild guess and thought that His Majesty might not be unconscious, and that their statement might not be true.”

The information shook Lin Mengya’s mind.

His Majesty was wise, and was unlikely to be controlled by the Empress and the Crown Prince easily.

But if His Majesty was in good health, how could the Empress and the Crown Prince issue a fake edict?

It seemed that the situation was much more complicated than she expected.

After they talked for a while, Baizhi got lunch ready.

Long TianhaoLong Tianyu had gone out early this morning, so both of them could feel at ease at the table.

Baizhi and some diligent old maids, were setting the table. The dishes were simple, delicate and tasty. Lin Nansheng noticed that all the servants in Prince Yu’s Mansion, had great respect for Lin Mengya.

Servants might not cunning or neat enough, but they did know what to do. There were none that was arrogant. He credited it to Lin Mengya’s good management.

“Brother, why are you laughing?”

Lin Mengya saw Lin Nansheng’s lips curl slightly, when she was helping to set the table.
