Chapter 570 - A Dangerous Accident (1/2)

Little did they people expect these words to come out of a little child’s mouth.

Lin Mengya’s heart ached for the child. She gathered him into her arms but she could not say anything to hoodwink him.

Perhaps what happened was rather cruel to him now, but which kid born of the royal family would be spared of various illnesses and suffered evil schemes?

The earlier he was exposed to these things, the more he would be able to grow up safely in these cruel struggles.

“Alright, let’s wait for the day Concubine Xian comes for you. Come, let me introduce you to Ms. Tian here. She was my wet nurse. Henceforth, she will be the one taking care of you here. What do you think?”

Ms. Tian was unable to restrain her affection for this little guy since long ago.

For this reason, a kindly smile had broken out on her face.

“Hello, Ms. Tian,” the little guy, being very witty, immediately addressed her with a sweet voice.

Concubine Xian must have urged him to follow Lin Mengya’s instructions so he decided to put his full trust in Ms. Tian.

“I’m an old woman. How flattered I am. Your Highness, the 10th prince, you will be taken care of by me, an old maid, from now on.”

When Ms. Tian finished speaking, she took over the little plump guy from Lin Mengya’s arms.

Ms. Tian’s manner towards others had always been friendly and warm, coupled with the fact that she was Lin Mengya’s wet nurse, Long Yinghua felt a special closeness to her immediately.

Neither did he feel shy. Immediately, he put his arms around Ms. Tian’s neck and began to act like a spoilt child.

This brought a smile to Ms. Tian, who had been yearning for a grandson for many years.

She had hoped to help her mistress take care of her child, but with the 10th prince, now the void had been filled temporarily.

“The 10th prince is so adorable. Master, you can rest assured that we will raise him in our courtyard from now on.”

After returning to Lin Mengya’s room, Baiji served Lin Mengya a cut of milk tea and commented with a smile on her face.

Baizhi was still like a child herself. Moreover, she had grown up with Lin Mengya since young while there were no other children in the house. Now, she would experience being a big kid.

Without Lin Mengya having to give her instructions, she had gone after Ms. Tian to take care of the 10th prince with her.

“Erm, although Ms. Tian is very experienced, she is also advanced in age, therefore we have to trouble you and Baishao to help out in certain things. Please bear in mind that you and Baishao are to make every effort in taking care of the 10th prince’s daily life, especially the food he eats and the clothes he wears. These duties must not be delegated to others.”

Lin Mengya looked solemn. She knew that once Concubine Xian sent the 10th prince over to her, she had also partly directed the other people’s eyes towards her.

If any accident befell the 10th prince while he was staying in her mansion, she would have failed Concubine Xian.

If Long Tianyu’s important business was in any way ruined, all the more, she would have to bear the blame.

“Rest assured, Master. Baishao and I will be cautious so that nothing poison can infiltrate our courtyard.”

There was conviction in Baiji’s eyes. She was no longer that same timid country girl she used to be when she first came to the prince’s mansion.

At this moment, Lin Mengya could be totally at ease handing down such matters to her personal maidservants.

As she continued instructing Baiji, someone came in to inform them that dinner was ready.

This was the first time Long Yinghua was having a meal in the prince’s mansion, so Lin Mengya had specially instructed the cooks in the kitchen to prepare something nutritious for this little guy.

Even the pieces of carrot and cucumber had been carved into the shapes of bunnies.

Long Yinghua rarely saw how food was served in such adorable shapes and his eyes were quickly attracted to them.

“Third Brother, thank you and Sister-in-law for letting me stay in your mansion.”

The little guy was very grateful to them, but he minced his words coyly as if he was reiterating something he had memorized.

“Erm, there was no need to stand on ceremony, my brother.”

Long Tianyu by their side, put on a serious countenance as he answered in dead earnest.

These two guys, one big and one small really cracked people up.

“Alright, alright, let’s all dig in.”

Lin Mengya hurried over to smooth things over, lest if they continue on, she would suffer stomachache.

For Long Tianyu and Long Yinghua, who were princes, they were well brought up in table manners.

Apart from the crispy sounds made by the contact of chopsticks, the plates, and bowls, one could not hear any other sounds.

Apparently, Long Yinghua fancied the sweet-sour shrimp ball prepared by the cook as instructed by Lin Mengya. Not only did it taste very appetizing, but the flesh of the shrimp was easy to digest.

Lin Mengya was pleased when she saw how much he loved those shrimp balls.

However, halfway through eating, Long Yinghua’s expression turned uneasy.

With a “Clank”, he toppled the bowl and fell to the ground in that instant.

“Yinghua!”

Lin Mengya cried out in shock. Putting down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, she dashed over to check him out.

The little guy’s face was flushed with his eyes wide open. He kept scratching all around his neck with his tiny hands.

Lin Mengya immediately realized that he was choking on something, which was why he exhibited the signs of breathlessness.

“Will someone quickly bring me my silver needles?”

Turning the little guy around, Lin Mengya lifted Long Yinghua’s clothes.

His snow-white back was covered with rashes by now.

Oh dear, it was most likely an allergic reaction!

The rashes spread quickly and soon, his limbs were covered with patches of rashes.
