Chapter 333 Framing (2/2)

The guards immediately bowed to her. No matter what, Lin Mengya was still in a much higher position than them now.

“Sorry, Your Highness. Come on. Do a thorough check. Hurry up. Don’t delay Her Highness’s time.”

After cupping their hands in respect, the leading guards started checking on what Lin Mengya was carrying.

Gold and silver were stored in small boxes. They merely glanced at them, then turned around.

The thick robes were the ones that drew their attention.

They examined them carefully, touched them and even scrutinized the embroideries meticulously.

Lin Mengya and her maids just stood by, neither stopping them nor saying anything. She did not even look at her clothes.

“I found something!”

As she expected, while checking on the dress given by Consort Xian, the guard’s eyes lit up and he shouted as he felt the seams of the skirt.

Everyone came closer and gathered together. But Lin Mengya stopped her maids and quietly watched them putting on a show.

“Take it out!”

Their leader was frowning. But the light in his eyes betrayed his secret. This had already been pre-arranged.

“Yes!”

The guard quickly ripped the dress apart.

There was a red book behind the layers of cotton. But there were two words written on the book, Case History!

“Sir, this is the lost book containing the case history of His Majesty! Unexpectedly, it’s hidden in Princess Yu’s clothes!”

The guard, who found the book, turned the pages and saw many names of herbs inside, though he did not understand what they meant.

The guard frowned and held the steel knife beside him tightly, as if he did not draw his knife mainly due to Lin Mengya’s position.

“Princess Yu, we received news from the Court of Imperial Physicians just now, that the case history of His Majesty was missing. We did not expect to find it hidden here. I’m sorry, but you have to come with me to explain this to the Empress.”

Lin Mengya realized what was going on, no matter how stupid she might be.

What they were looking for was the case history, that had been stolen by Xiaofeng. The Court of Imperial Physicians just chose an appropriate time to report that the case history was lost.

Besides, it was found in the clothes given by Consort Xian. In fact, it was a trap set by all of them.

Their purpose was to put the charge for stealing the case history of the Emperor on Lin Mengya.

What a perfectly good plan.

But Lin Mengya was still smiling slightly. When she was about to speak, a figure appeared behind her suddenly.

“How dare you try to accuse my wife?”

The low voice shocked Lin Mengya.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the tall figure in front of her, in astonishment.

“Long Tianyu, why is he here?”

His aura and pride which was clearly visible, shocked the guards, and they retreated. Their leader’s face went numb for a second.

But at the next second, he showed his respects. He knelt and explained that he had to take Lin Mengya away, to assist in the investigation.

“Your Highness, may you live long for a thousand years. I’m handling this matter impartially. His Majesty’s case history is very important. If there’s something wrong, it is not enough for my head to be cut off. But it may have been taken inadvertently. As long as Her Highness can explain it clearly, the misunderstanding will be cleared up.”

When he heard what he said, Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows.

“It may have been taken inadvertently?” He’s trying to imply that Lin Mengya took it out.

Long Tianyu did not know the whole story, but he believed that Lin Mengya would never do such a thing.

“No need. My princess comes from a noble family and is a high born lady. She won’t do anything so stealthily. Someone bad is trying to frame my princess. We live in the capital. If you want to ask or find out more, you can come to my house.”

Long Tianyu took a tough stance. Lin Mengya did not know those guards, but he knew them very well.

Their master was the Crown Prince. They might not do anything ordinarily. But something might happen when they did take action.

Their purpose was clear. They wanted to frame Lin Mengya.

He was clenching both his fists and his eyes became cold and pitiless, immediately. “You are trying do something to Lin Mengya? I don’t mind turning against you now, the Crown Prince.”

“Your Highness, it is not up to me. Besides, it’s their orders. Please, do not make it hard for us.”

The leader touched his steel knife that was strapped to his waist. Immediately, the other guards seemed to get his meaning and surrounded Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya.

When the fight was about to start, Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and pulled his tight sleeves.
