Chapter 704 - Widespread Rumor (1/2)

However, Long Tianyu just thought about it for a moment.

When he raised his head again, he had concealed all his real emotions.

He casually threw the secret report on the desk, glanced at his father, and said, “It’s nonsense.”

The Emperor’s attempt to force Lin Mengya to leave Long Tianyu seemed to have estranged Long Tianyu from him.

The Emperor looked up at his son.

He also knew that these rumors were unconvincing.

However, his increasingly strong sense of paranoia gave him an intuition that this matter might be a signal sent by someone, that intended to replace him!

“Anyway, you must get to the bottom of this. Put the Shen Family’s case aside for the time being and deal with this first,” the Emperor said.

Receiving his father’s order, Long Tianyu left without hesitation.

Watching his son turn to leave, the Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly felt uneasy.

Long Tianyu had been such a person, who seemed to be obedient to him but actually was very stubborn, since childhood.

Back then, he gave the order to deprive Lin Mengya of her position as Princess Yu, and now he was going to choose someone else as Princess Yu. However, Not only did Long Tianyu consent to his request, but Long Tianyu even proposed to choose his legal wife by himself.

It seemed that Long Tianyu had totally forgotten Lin Mengya. But every night, he received the news that Long Tianyu spent the night in the Lin’s Mansion.

Nevertheless, no matter what task he assigned Long Tianyu, Long Tianyu just accepted it without saying a word.

Seeing his son behave so obediently, he smelled something fishy.

“Keep an eye on him and don’t let him act recklessly,” the Emperor gave an order in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a skinny figure slowly appeared in front of him and said, “Okay, but Your Majesty, you seem to be pushing the Third Prince too hard.”

None other than Yu Qiang in the Imperial Palace dared to say that.

The Emperor rolled his eyes slightly and looked a little hesitant. Then, with a sparkle in his eyes, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said with a decisive look, “I’ve done these for the future of Dajin and Yu’er. You don’t have to say anything else about this. Just do your job.”

Sighing in his heart, Yu Qiang left the imperial study with his mission.

“My country… must be prosperous and exist for thousands of years!” The Emperor clenched his fists and said.

Even Long Tianyu might not be as ambitious as the Emperor.

However, the Emperor was unaware that it was merely an illusion.

After strolling out of the Imperial Palace and arriving somewhere with no one else around, Long Tianyu finally changed his indifferent look a little.

He was not sure before that it was his wife’s trick.

However, from the moment his father asked him to investigate this matter, he immediately realized his wife was the wire-puller.

What other than the Shangguan Family, which had led the Valiant Tiger Army known as the fierce wolf, could the abnormal phenomena point at?

Moreover, he had just reported to his father that the Shen Family seemed to be exterminated by someone from the Shangguan Family. Given his father’s character, his father would naturally associate the case with the abnormal phenomena.

What was more, how could there be any noble other than her in the Capital City who happened to have a big cat and a big dog?

He was just wondering how she was going to make his father continue focusing on the Shangguan Family.

Long Tianyu lifted his head and showed an imperceptible smile.

Even the Shangguan Family was doomed since they dared to piss his wife off.

At first, the rumor of a dragon devoured by a tiger and a wolf was only spread among a small number of people in the underclass and did not attract much attention.

However, on the third day when the rumor became increasingly widespread, the children on the streets suddenly began to sing a song, which was short but popular.

Soon, even the adults became familiar with the song.

“With a fierce wolf and a mighty tiger around, the long snake is bound to be slaughtered. The overturned tiles on the roof of the golden house suggest the ruler is going to be overthrown sooner or later.”

Lin Mengya was shaking the rattle to amuse Moyan in her arms at the door when she vaguely heard children singing this nursery rhyme outside.

“First Miss, what does the song the children are singing outside mean?” A maid asked.

In the yard, several old maids and girls gathered around Lin Mengya, having a chat while working on their embroidery.

Since the First Miss returned home, the mansion had been filled with cheers and laughter.

“It’s probably made up by a certain idle scholar to amuse children,” Lin Mengya said and kissed Moyan.
