In the banquet tent, Long Tianhao suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Because they were outside, he could not sleep in separate rooms with Lin Mengya. Therefore, Night was also left in the mansion.
Long Tianhao found an excuse to return to the tent that was used as a temporary bedroom, but there were only Lin Mengya's four maidservants there.
"Where's your master?"
Long Tianhao frowned and looked into the room, where the maidservants were also stunned. A bad idea flashed across his mind.
"Master, she went out alone."
Baiji, who was the steadiest among them, also knew that the situation was not right. She gathered her courage and answered Long Tianhao.
"When did she go out? Who did she go with? "
Something was not right. This was not Prince Yu's Mansion. Lin Mengya would not go out without a servant.
Moreover, they were in the middle of nowhere, and there was only the pitch-black forest outside. Where would she go?
"Send someone to look for the princess immediately. You must find her!"
Long Tianhao felt that something was not right. Moreover, the Crown Prince and Hu Lunan also found an excuse to go out midway.
What if the two of them met Lin Mengya and had a conflict with her?
"Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
Long Tianhao was about to go out to look for her, but he was interrupted by a gentle voice.
Lin Mengya lifted the curtain and appeared in front of everyone.
"Princess! Master! Where have you been? We were so worried about you. "
The four maidservants immediately clustered around him and asked about his well-being in a soft and gentle voice. They were very considerate.
"Me? I just went out for a walk. Qinghu accompanied me. It's okay. "
Lin Mengya came out of the small tent and walked quickly back to her room.
The three men were only fooled by her for a while. They would come to their senses soon. No matter how powerful the people around her were, they could not be compared to the many trump cards in their hands.
That was why she was able to escape from danger so smoothly. It was really mysterious.
"Where have you been?"
From the moment she entered the door, Long Tianhao's heart was finally at ease.
He stood at the side and watched as she comforted everyone but herself. For some reason, he felt a little sour in his heart.
"I just went out for a walk. Qinghu can testify for me. Your Highness, why are you still here? Is the banquet over? "
She was a little surprised to see Long Tianhao here. Logically speaking, the banquet should not have ended yet.
"I'm glad you're fine."
Long Tianhao was choked by Lin Mengya's words and felt that the game was not fun.
It was clearly because he was worried about her that he came back to the tent to look for her.
Now, it seemed like he was being a busybody.
Long Tianhao, who did not come, turned around and walked out of the tent sullenly.
Lin Mengya was left alone, not knowing what was going on.
"Master, you don't know how anxious His Highness was when he discovered that you were missing. How could you say that?"
Baizhi cried out for Long Tianhao, as if her master did not know what was good for her.
"How would I know? He … Forget it, I'll go and apologize to him later. Did anyone cause trouble for the four of you here? "
When she was detained, her only worry was that these four maidservants would be put in a difficult position.
Fortunately, there were many guards around and Baisu was a skilled martial artist.
Lin Mengya was finally relieved when she saw that everyone was safe and sound.
"Don't worry, Master. With Baisu guarding them, no one can hurt them."
Baisu had seen through Lin Mengya during this short period of time.
Although she was the princess, she attached great importance to these friends.
Therefore, Baisu would protect them with all her might for the sake of the princess.
"Alright, then I'm relieved. Baishao and Baizhi, let's go back to the banquet. "
Her early departure would probably arouse the suspicion and criticism of many people.
Moreover, the Crown Prince and Hu Lunan would return to the banquet at this time. How could she miss such a good show?
The banquet went on as usual, and as expected, everyone had returned. The moment Lin Mengya entered the banquet hall, countless eyes fell on her.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Lin Mengya sat down beside Long Tianhao and expressed her gratitude in a low voice.
Long Tianhao's cold face softened a little when he heard this.
The mellow voice, after a moment of silence, suddenly replied, "That's right.
"You're welcome."
Lin Mengya felt warm in her heart, but she only picked up her wine glass and hid the smile on her face.
The banquet was still going on, but the Crown Prince and Hu Lunan's eyes were about to tear Lin Mengya into pieces.
"Please calm down, Your Highness. It's my fault for not thinking things through. Please punish me."
Both of them were surrounded by their confidants, so they did not have to worry too much when they spoke.
Vice Princess Dugu did not expect things to turn out this way.
She knew the Crown Prince's temper very well. But this time, not only did the Crown Prince not get what he wanted, but he was also attacked by Lin Mengya. How could he not be angry?
"I don't blame you for this. I just didn't expect that woman to be so cunning. "
The Crown Prince held up his wine glass and almost crushed it.
He did not expect to fall into the hands of a young woman. It was a great humiliation!
Moreover, this woman belonged to Long Tianhao, that little bastard!
He would make her pay for this sooner or later.
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. However, the security on Mount Lingju is not as tight as it is in the capital city. Rest assured, Your Highness, I will be extra careful in the future. I won't let her escape again. "
In fact, vice Princess Dugu and Lin Mengya did not have much enmity.
However, after this incident, the Crown Prince's love for her would definitely be affected.
There were so many concubines in the prince's mansion that she would have to use some tricks to gain the Crown Prince's favor.
In that instant, Lin Mengya became the target of resentment.
"Your Highness, in the western vassal state, a true warrior must be able to capture tigers and shoot wolves. I wonder if there are any tigers and wolves on Mount Lingju in Dajin? "
King Ming seemed to be in high spirits. In the western vassal state, a man who could become a king must not only be charismatic but also possess extraordinary courage and courage.
It was said that when he was young, he was able to capture a wolf with his bare hands.
Lin Mengya glanced at King Ming again. This man must be extremely dangerous.
"This … Mount Lingju is the royal enclosure. If we were to rear wild beasts there, we might be in danger of hurting people."
The royal enclosure would at most have some small animals such as deer and deer.
To put it bluntly, the Crown Prince was afraid that the young masters of the nobility would be hurt by wild beasts while hunting.
This place was only set up for them to pass the time.
King Ming burst into laughter when he heard the Crown Prince's reply.
"It's alright. Young people should try their best to grow. How about this, I've brought a fierce tiger from the western vassal state. Why don't we use it as a prize for this hunt?"
King Ming waved his hand and immediately, four strong warriors of the western vassal state carried a huge iron cage into the hall.
Lin Mengya took a closer look at the tiger and realized that it was very strong. The moment it was placed in the cage, it let out a loud roar that shook the entire valley.
This tiger was one size bigger than the four strong warriors. Although it was locked in the cage, it was so arrogant that it refused to submit.
Its entire body was covered with white fur, without a trace of other colors.
What a ferocious tiger! Lin Mengya felt a tinge of regret in her heart.
As the saying went, "A tiger that has fallen to the plains will be bullied by dogs."
"This … this is not a good idea."
The Crown Prince looked at the tiger and hesitated.
This tiger was not something that anyone could handle. Moreover, this was the tiger of the western vassal state, the king of the forest. There was no room for neglect.
"It's nothing. Although this tiger is powerful, in the eyes of the warriors of the western vassal state, it is just a beast."
There was a hint of provocation in King Ming's words. The Crown Prince had no choice but to accept the provocation and nodded his head reluctantly.
Lin Mengya's gaze was fixed on the white tiger. Long Tianhao was surprised.
Could it be that this lass also thought that capturing a tiger was an easy task?
"Your Highness, when the time comes, can you let this creature go?"
He was surprised that Lin Mengya's first sentence was to ask Long Tianhao to let the white tiger go.
"Oh? But when the hunt begins, I'm not the only one who wants to capture it. "
Long Tianhao had no intention of participating in the hunt. He only wanted to put on a show.
However, Lin Mengya turned around and looked at him with a pair of determined eyes.
"This is a pregnant tigress. If it really dies, then the creature in its stomach will be finished."
Lin Mengya had observed the white tiger carefully. Although it looked majestic, its belly was obviously disproportionate.
No matter how much it roared, it still protected its belly.
Lin Mengya speculated that this tiger might be pregnant.
"How did you know?"
Long Tianhao glanced at the tiger and realized that it was slightly bigger than usual.
It seemed that what Lin Mengya said was probably true.
"I know that it's not realistic for me to ask King Ming to let it go now. But I only hope that it can give birth to the baby in its belly first. "
Lin Mengya knew that even the most experienced butcher would not easily slaughter a pregnant animal if it was in the wild.
This was an established rule. No matter how small a creature was, it was worthy of respect when it came to the reproduction of the next generation.
Lin Mengya was not a naive little rabbit, but she felt compassion for this tigress.
"If that's the case, I'll try my best."
