Chapter 639 - Empress’s Decree to Pray for Jin State (2/2)
Long Tianyu had left the warm bed quietly, feeling relaxed. Lin Mengya had pretended to be sleeping in the blanket. After Long Tianyu left, she quietly opened her watery eyes. Her hair was a mess, and she felt quite languid. However, Lin Mengya’s heart was filled with a sense of crisis that she couldn’t ignore.
She knew very well that this sense of crisis did not come from the Empress. She didn’t dare to take the Empress’s method lightly, but she believed she wouldn’t be defeated by that woman. However, the strange emotion made her feel flustered and even fearful. But she did not know why.
She felt that the Empress had set up a trap for her in the Huguo Temple this time. And she had thought of all the possible methods she might take, but she still felt that she had overlooked something. Shaking her head, Lin Mengya got up. She did not call anyone in but quickly changed the clothes hidden in the closet.
Long Tianyu had said that he still had to deal with official affairs, and it would take at least four hours. She could make use of this time to go to Sanjue Hall to meet with Qinghu. After changing into lightweight and easy-to-move clothes, Lin Mengya went out of the back door of the Prince’s Mansion without being noticed by anyone under the cover of Baiji.
At this moment, Yunzhu, her trusted confidant in Sanjue Hall, personally came to pick her up. Under the cover of dusk, Lin Mengya successfully avoided all the watchers. In the uneasy silence, the carriage was running on a cranked route and finally came to the headquarter of Sanjue Hall. Sanjue Hall had developed into a big organization like a tiger that was about to wake up.
Its headquarter was guarded like an iron bastion. There were no blind spots at all. And the secret passage they were walking through was filled with deadly machine-operated traps designed by the mechanism masters of the time.
It could be said that no one could survive when walking through this passage except Yunzhu and Qinghu. Although the space of the courtyard had been doubled, there were no flaws in the appearance. Yunzhu was very smart. She had secretly occupied the small villages around the capital. In this way, let alone outsiders, even Lin Mengya sometimes couldn’t tell the real villagers from the elites of Sanjue Hall.
She thought this was very good. At least, in appearance, it wouldn’t attract the attention of people. Following Yunzhu cautiously all the way, Lin Mengya finally returned to the inner courtyard that she had personally participated in the design. Here had become the holy place of the entire Sanjue Hall.
Every internal elite was eager to be summoned here by the God-like Hall Master. The two Deputy Hall Masters had rarely shown up, and the Hall Master had never appeared in public. But no one dared to be disrespectful to the Hall Master.
After all, everything here was designed by Hall Master, and the strict rules were merciless. So, Lin Mengya, the hands-off boss, turned out to be the most prestigious in everyone’s heart. If Lin Mengya knew this now, she would find it very strange.
However, she was not in the mood to study her image in the eyes of others. Because when she had first arrived in this courtyard, her heart had throbbed violently.
Suddenly, her pretty face turned pale, and her eyes dulled. She staggered and almost fell on the cobblestone path. Fortunately, a pair of slender and powerful hands grabbed her arms in time. Qinghu took her into his arms, calling her name softly but eagerly.
“Girl! Lin Mengya? Yunzhu, go get the doctor!” Qinghu looked at the pretty woman with a pale face in his arms, and his worries gradually turned into anxiety.
Yunzhu nodded immediately, intending to invite the best doctor in the hall. But as soon as she turned around, Lin Mengya, who was still a little weak, stopped her. “No need. I’m fine. Maybe I have eaten too little recently, and my blood sugar level dropped. Don’t worry. Just give me something sweet to eat.”
Lin Mengya slumped and nestled in Qinghu’s arms. She rubbed her temples, but the astonishment in her heart was stronger than anyone else.
Just now, she seemed to have felt that her soul was about to break free from the body. She couldn’t tell why she felt this way.
But when she had had the blackout, she had felt that her body become lighter. The feeling was somewhat similar to that she had had when she was dying.
