Chapter 334 Turnaround (1/2)

“Your Highness, why are you making hard for him?”

Lin Mengya was smiling gently, and did not seem to be bothered by their threats.

“Princess Yu is really understanding and reasonable. Your Highness, our hands are tied. But we will not disrespect Her Highness. Don’t worry, Your Highness.”

After the guard said that, his eyes were filled with complacency.

Whether she was Princess Yu or not, her life would be decided by others once she was put into jail. But the Crown Prince had told him to be extra careful, because Princess Yu was full of cunning tricks.

It now appeared that she was just like any timid woman.

Long Tianyu looked down in confusion, only to see her cracking a big smile.

Winking at him, Lin Mengya did not look worried at all. It made Long Tianyu feel assured.

Somehow, he became confident. Suddenly, Long Tianyu believed that his princess would not allow anyone to do anything to her.

She might be hiding her plans from those guards.

When he thought of this, a smile appeared immediately at the corner of his mouth. Instantly, his icy demeanor melted, and then, he held her cool but soft hands, and said softly,

“Alright, it’s up to you.”

The low, deep voice was mixed with an unfamiliar gentleness.

Even someone like Lin Mengya, could not help getting flustered and she blushed.

She stared angrily at Long Tianyu, and suddenly goosebumps appeared on her skin.

“Oh, God! Long Tianyu is a cool beauty. It is not like him to be so sincere!”

If it were at their house, she might roll her eyes at him. But now, it was not appropriate.

“Alright, let me just bear with it. It’s just a show anyway.”

“You can bring me in to assist with the investigation, “But I want to know what is the reason for taking me away.”

Lin Mengya turned around, a gentle smile still on her face and said this, steadily. But a cunning light flashed across her eyes.

The leader immediately answered seriously, as if he was conducting an official business and was following the regulations.

“Your Highness, it’s because the case history of His Majesty was lost, and was found in your bag. I dare not delay this. I have to bring you along with us.”

Lin Mengya gazed at a distance, as if she was lost in thought.

Although the leader seemed impatient, in the presence of Long Tianyu, he had to control himself, as he waited for Princess Yu, whom he regarded as a prisoner.

“But why would I want to steal the case history? You know, if I want to read it, I can read it as long as I am in the Court of Imperial Physicians. But if I stole it, that would mean I am a rebel and have committed a crime? I’m really stupid!”

She lowered her head and murmured, as if she was speaking to herself. The leader thought she was thinking about what she had done, and a cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. But his big hand was pointing at Baisu and Fanglan.

“I know you don’t need the case history of His Majesty. But you know that since His Majesty fell ill, lots of rebels and traitors are trying very hard to get news about His Majesty, for their wild ambitions of course.”

The leader slowly turned to look at Long Tianyu, while saying that.

But Long Tianyu gave a cold, deadly look back. He did not do it again.

“That’s weird. The Lin family is the loyal general’s family in Dajin. My husband is the prince. Both privately and publicly, it’s unreasonable for me to have that idea, right?”

Long Tianyu suddenly realized what her plan was.

But the guard only thought she was struggling needlessly.

He seemed to know what she would say and replied immediately.

“Of course you won’t betray His Majesty, Your Highness. But your people may let you down. You may not know this, I think, that one of your maids comes from the most mysterious organization in the Lieyun Empire, Hunting Hall of Knowledgeable Tavern. The other one is the daughter of a concubine from the Murong family. It could be possible that they might be the thief.”

Lin Mengya was surprised. She knew a little about Baisu’s identify.

But didn’t Fanglan tell her that she grew up in the Palace? How did she become the daughter of a concubine from the Murong family in such a short time?

Lin Mengya cleverly hid her confusion, and her smile became even more gentle. She looked calm, as if those things did not matter at all.

“It seems that I’m really ignorant. But guard, you may be looking for the wrong people. They are just from a common family. Besides, they had a tough life and left their homes to work at the palace, when they were still very young. You can’t accuse innocent people for no reason.”

Lin Mengya was lying with a straight face, but internally she knew clearly that the guard might be right.
