Chapter 293 Trying Best to Persuade Him (1/2)

“Please hold on, Your Highness.”

Night stood in Lin Mengya’s way with a firm expression.

“Why? What are you and Long Tianyu planning about?”

Lin Mengya replied in an anxious voice. The reason that the empress had shown her hole card was that she tried to threaten Lin Mengya and stop what was going to happen.

It confirmed Lin Mengya’s guess that Long Tianyu told Night to stop her.

“Sorry, Your Highness, I can’t tell you anything.”

Their action was a top-secret that even those commanders who did not participate in did not know about it. Moreover, Prince Yu had ordered them that everything must go right, so, even if it was Princess Yu, Night could not tell her anything.

“Move out of my way! I must see Long Tianyu. Whatever you’re planning about, stop now!”

Now, Lin Mengya was sure that the real Concubine De was in the hands of the empress, and what had happened before now was confirmed.

The reason that Concubine De’s character and attitude toward Lin Mengya changed so dramatically was that the current “Concubine De” in Prince Yu’s mansion was not the real one but someone else in disguise.

From the concubine before, Yue Ting’s mother, to Concubine De, the empress was really good at using fake ones to replace real ones.

But why the empress would do that at the risk of danger? Lin Mengya was eager to know the answer, but it was not the right time to find out the answer now.

“Move out of my way, can’t you hear me? Night, if Long Tianyu really does something recklessly, Concubine… he will regret it!”

Lin Mengya almost blurted out the secret about Concubine De.

However, the moment she was about to speak out the secret, she suddenly realized that the empress must not want Long Tianyu to know about it since she only warned Lin Mengya.

If Long Tianyu knew that the empress imprisoned Concubine De, he would not swallow the insult and humiliation silently given his character, and Concubine De’s life would be threatened. After all, Imperial Palace was under the empress’s control.

Thinking of this, she swallowed the words that she was about to say.

“I beg you, Night, please let me see him.” “If he really does something recklessly, he will regret it.”

Lin Mengya held Night’s arm and said to him with pleading eyes.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness.”

Night withdrew his arm and drew out his sword which hung by his waist.

His prince had made the plan for a long time for the action that night, so, he could not let anyone ruin it no matter who it was.

“No, it’s me who should say sorry.”

Lin Mengya took one step backward, looking at Night with remorse in her eyes. Night looked toward Lin Mengya in confusion, and suddenly, a numb feeling struck his arm and climbed upward.

Just in several seconds, half of his body went numb.

“You—”

For the first time, Night had anger in his eyes.

Lin Mengya took out a black pill and sent it into Night’s mouth.

“Don’t worry, the effect of the pill will only last for an hour. I can’t watch Long Tianyu do something that he will feel regret about. I’m sorry, Night.”

Lin Mengya dragged Night to the corner where she just hid in, and after making sure that nobody would find him, she entered the side door.

However, delayed by the small episode, she did not see anyone after she went in.

She searched around carefully but did not find any clue. She was quite upset and wondered if she was too late.

“Who are you?”

An icy voice of a woman sounded behind Lin Mengya. Then, a sharp sword pressed against her neck.

“I don’t know who you’re, but I know you’re on Long Tianyu’s side. I got the news that whatever you’re planning tonight, you should stop it now; otherwise, Long Tianyu will regret it forever.”

The woman behind Lin Mengya drew her sword further from Lin Mengya’s neck possibly because she heard Long Tianyu’s name. However, the woman was still in silence, which made Lin Mengya anxious even more.

“I’m not joking. I’m Princess Yu, and my fate and his fate are bound together, so, you must believe me.”

The words “Princess Yu” sounded persuasive to the woman.

She withdrew her sword from Lin Mengya’s neck. Lin Mengya turned back only to see Long Tianyu, in an armor, look at her with a completed feeling.

Beside him stood a woman whose face was under a black veil.

“Why are you here?”

In his light armor with Qilin pattern, Long Tianyu looked handsome and chilling. Lin Mengya was shocked and wondered if he wanted to rebel against the royal palace.
