Chapter 312 A Dangerous Game (1/2)
Long Yinghua was just in the period when children were active. The yard was so small that it was not big enough for him to run around in happily.
At the moment, he agreed to Lin Mengya’s request.
“However, I don’t think you can do this at your age. What to do? I think I’m going to win before even playing.”
In order to make the child take it more seriously, Lin Mengya deliberately put on a look of worry.
The little fellow immediately vowed. It seemed that he insisted on having it out with Lin Mengya. Seeing the good situation, Lin Mengya immediately talked about the rules of the game.
“Okay, from now on, promise me that before I say the game is over, if you talk to anyone, you lose!”
Lin Mengya’s confident look on her face aroused the fighting spirit of this little man.
With his little fist clenched, the little prince looked unconvinced.
“No problem! I won’t talk to my nanny or mother. But what if someone asks me to talk?”
With his head cocked, the little guy was seriously thinking about various problems that might arise in this game.
“Then you can cry, or you can hit the person on their head with whatever you have next to you. But if you talk to them, you lose. Don’t think you can escape. In fact, all the people in this yard are here to play the game with you.
Lin Mengya did not want to explain all the dangers in the palace to the child in front of her.
Although Long Yinghua seemed to be vigorous and lively, she could still feel the boy’s panic through his eyes.
Fortunately, the child was rescued in time. Otherwise, he would have been destroyed.
“All right, it’s a deal!”
They gave each other a high-five as an oath. Lin Mengya looked at the grimace made by the little guy in front of her, but she still could not show a bright smile as happily as he did.
Hopefully, there would be no more shadow in this child’s life.
The behaviors of a frightened child were nothing more than crying at night and some personality changes.
After breakfast, Lin Mengya especially looked for the little prince’s nanny to ask her some questions. She found out that Long Yinghua used to be a lively and energetic child. And last night, he indeed cried after they fell asleep.
However, the nanny followed her orders and asked Pearl and Agate to do all the errands. Looking at the thick dark circles under the two girls’ eyes, she knew that the little guy did make a lot of noise last night.
It was not a good idea to let the little prince continue to cry. So Lin Mengya was left with no other choice but to use some extremely soft spices and make a kind of perfume that was harmless to the development of children. At least, Long Yinghua would have no more shadow in his dream.
She had only been away from the Imperial Hospital for two days, and there were more than three batches of people coming to Lin Mengya‘s door to invite her. But people in the yard had already received Baisu’s orders. To the Imperial Hospital and other guests, they just said that the princess had to take care of the 10th prince. So she had no energy to deal with them for the moment.
In the room, Lin Mengya was leisurely coaxing Long Yinghua to sleep. When seeing him sleeping cutely and quietly, Lin Mengya suddenly felt that it would be better to take care of children than be annoyed in the Imperial Hospital.
“Master, usually these imperial physicians eagerly wish that you wouldn’t go there. Why do they come to invite you now?”
Baisu was naturally surprised. Lin Mengya covered the little guy with a soft quilt and then quietly walked out of the room.
“They are not coming to invite me, but to ask for quarter and let me give them a chance to live. Do you really think I have such great power? It’s all because of the prince.”
Within two days, the game between Lin Mengya and Long Yinghua was in full swing.
The little fellow’s range of movement was limited. In addition to some fouls in the beginning, he was getting better today. In the game, there were punishments for mistakes and rewards for being right. As a matter of fact, before the little guy went to bed, he just got a piece of candy with pine nuts, which was usually forbidden to him by his mother. At this moment, he was probably dreaming of the sweet taste.
“The prince? What did the prince do? On that day—”
Lin Mengya nodded tacitly. She just said several words in Long Tianyu’s ear that day: “Take drastic measures and add insult to injury.”
The reason why the Imperial Hospital could be so arrogant was that all the powers in the palace were now trying to rope them in. But in the end, all the powers just wanted to understand and even control the emperor’s life through them.
However, although famous doctors were rare, they were not definitely unobtainable.
Part of the information written on that burned note said that a while ago, Long Tianyu did find many famous physicians because of Sanjue Hall. After being selected by Baili Rui, those bad physicians had been removed, and all those remaining were the best ones in the world.
It was unknown how Long Tianyu had convinced them. These people who were originally indifferent to fame and wealth all wanted to enter the palace and become imperial physicians.
And coupled with the emperor’s serious illness, Long Tianyu had more reasons to impeach them.
Therefore, Lin Mengya guessed that it must be because Long Tianyu took their ineffective treatment as the reason and discussed with the civil and military officials to overhaul the Imperial Hospital.
Those imperial physicians who were candidates were inextricably linked to the imperial physicians in the palace.
