"I'm sorry, I —"
The closer she was to someone, the more Lin Mengya had nothing to say.
Snow woke up in her arms and licked Lin Mengya's fingers with its coarse tongue. It was so obedient that it did not look like a wolf at all.
"Silly girl, don't say sorry. We don't need those things between us. "
Qinghu was still smiling as he stroked Lin Mengya's long hair.
She took the opportunity to lean on Qinghu's arm. In her heart, Qinghu was as close to her as her brother.
"I didn't expect them to act so quickly and use such despicable means."
She was from the modern world, so she was still too naive in these fights.
How could the royal family of the western vassal state do such a dirty thing? Lin Mengya felt a chill in her heart. How many more similar things were waiting for her on the road ahead?
"I've said this before, these people are the dirtiest in their hearts. Lass, your heart is still too clean. "
In the internal strife of the harem, could it be that the moves used were all aboveboard and straightforward?
The so-called glory was just to hide the unspeakable.
"I want to protect everyone. Qinghu, what should I do?"
Lin Mengya's heart was drifting uneasily, and she was struggling bitterly in the midst of this uneasiness.
Qinghu stroked her long hair and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, but he still said calmly,
"This is a world where if you don't harm others, others will harm you. If you want to protect everyone, you can't wait for others to strike. Little one, do you know why Peach Blossom Dock became the top killer organization in the martial arts world? "
Lin Mengya shook her head. Qinghu rarely mentioned anything about Peach Blossom Dock.
"That's because when Peach Blossom Dock was established, all the killers who were more powerful than them were killed."
The past had lost its original meaning in Qinghu's words.
"Before that battle, Peach Blossom Dock did not reveal any information. Therefore, those people in the martial arts world did not take any precautions. From then on, no one could compete with Peach Blossom Dock. "
Lin Mengya shifted her gaze back to the forest in the distance, and her eyes shone with a strange light.
She wanted to protect the people around her, so she had to get rid of all the obstacles.
Whether it was the Crown Prince or the Empress, they relied on the power in their hands to wantonly harm and trample on the dignity and fate of others.
If she took everything away from them, no one would be able to hurt the people she cared about anymore.
"I understand. Thank you, Qinghu."
The clear voice no longer trembled or hesitated. Qinghu turned his head and his eyes fell on her hair.
"Little girl, I will always be by your side and protect you."
The first half of his life was already too dirty. Even if it was only for three years, he would risk his life to protect her.
"No, if you hide behind others, how can you be considered a true expert?"
Shaking her head, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
If he hadn't seen the sorrow on her face last night, her smile would have been enough to fool everyone in the world.
"Let's go. I'm afraid that from today onwards, the capital city will no longer be peaceful."
There was not a trace of panic in her voice, even though she knew what kind of bloody storm she was about to face.
Lin Mengya put Snow on the ground, and the little beast looked at Lin Mengya with its big eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes, a storm is coming."
Qinghu raised his head and looked at the clear sky, and the smile on his face was full of mockery, which was rarely seen.
When they returned to the campsite, the atmosphere had become very tense.
No matter what, Hu Lunan was the second prince of the western vassal state. King Ming would not rest until he was dead even if he had a good temper when he was injured to such an extent.
The moment she showed herself, the imperial guards came up to her. Qinghu had already hidden himself to protect Lin Mengya.
A captain of the imperial guards, who looked to be in his thirties, cupped his fists and said,
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince invites you for questioning."
He came so quickly.
Lin Mengya nodded slightly and followed the captain of the imperial guards to the Crown Prince's tent.
Snow had also stopped acting cute in front of Lin Mengya.
Its small body was filled with the arrogance of a wolf king. It raised its head and followed behind Lin Mengya.
The Crown Prince's tent was, of course, the most luxurious one in the campsite.
Before they entered the tent, they could hear the sound of an argument coming from inside.
"Prince Yu, please hand over the princess. Everyone saw that only Princess Yu entered the second prince's tent. Now that the second prince is injured to this extent, you must give us an explanation. "
A eunuch had already lifted the curtain and Lin Mengya walked in. In an instant, everyone turned to look at her.
"Greetings, the Crown Prince and King Ming."
She bowed and greeted them. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, and there was no sign of panic.
She had a gentle smile on her beautiful face. She was natural and unrestrained, and there was not a single flaw that could be picked out.
In the tent, King Ming and the Crown Prince stood on opposite sides.
Both of them had the same gloomy look on their faces. From the moment she entered the tent, their gazes were like searchlights, as if they were trying to find a hole in her.
"Princess Yu, let me ask you. Did you do what happened to the second prince of the western vassal state?"
The Crown Prince's eyes were like torches, and his face was cold and hard.
He must have had a heated argument with King Ming.
That was why he looked so gloomy.
Lin Mengya blinked and spread out her hands. She was lying through her teeth.
"I'm deeply sorry about what happened to the second prince, but I really didn't know anything about it."
King Ming's eyes shone with deep anger.
Unfortunately, there were no guards around Hu Lunan at that time. The whereabouts of those dancers who were brought along by Hu Lunan were also unknown.
The imperial physician had diagnosed his second son, and he was afraid that his second son would be a good-for-nothing in the future.
King Ming clenched his fists tightly, and wished he could break the neck of this little girl in front of him.
"Hmph, Princess Yu, let's not beat around the bush. I know that you have a grudge with Nan. But to do such a vicious thing, isn't it a little too vicious? "
His second son was good at everything, except for his womanizing.
He had countless beautiful wives and concubines in the mansion, and even when he came to Dajin, he brought along the singers and dancers from his mansion.
However, no matter how useless he was, he was still his son.
Now that he had become like this, how could he not be heartbroken?
"I have a grudge with the second prince? Then I really don't get it. At the palace banquet, the Second Prince had chosen Elder Sister Yue Ting because he did not know the truth. Didn't we solve this misunderstanding a long time ago? "
Lin Mengya spoke gently, and with the innocent expression on her face. No one could find any flaw in her act.
Lin Mengya sat on the seat beside him, as if nothing had happened. She looked emotionless, as if she was very concerned about the situation.
"You …"
King Ming had suffered a great loss. He had heard that Hu Lunan had kidnapped Princess Yu in the middle of the journey.
For the sake of a woman, this unfilial son had destroyed one of the spies that he had cultivated for many years.
If he hadn't made the prompt decision to abandon this lead, he was afraid that more spies would have been dug out.
"In any case, since this matter has something to do with Princess Yu, you have to give me an explanation." King Ming's words were obviously threatening, but Lin Mengya was not intimidated.
King Ming's words were obviously threatening, but Lin Mengya was not intimidated.
She had a clear smile on her face, but her eyes had turned cold.
Lin Mengya's voice was harsh, and her tone changed in an instant.
Everyone knew that what happened to Yue Ting seemed to be done by the guards of the western vassal state.
Everyone knew that what happened to Yue Ting seemed to be the work of the guards of the western vassal state.
What happened to Yue Ting must have something to do with the second prince of the western vassal state.
Now that Yue Ting was in trouble, the second prince of the western vassal state must have had something to do with it.
The atmosphere turned cold in an instant, and everyone held their breath as they looked at the scene in front of them.
King Ming was in a difficult position because his son had failed to live up to his expectations.
Others might not know, but he was well aware of the power of the Lin Family. For many years, as long as Lin Muzhi was in charge of the Lin Family, no one could compete with them.
What an idiot, to actually provoke the Lin Family, and even humiliate their family so much.
Princess Yu looked young, but she was born with a sharp tongue.
This matter was even more difficult to handle.
"This matter … has not come to a conclusion, perhaps …"
The Crown Prince wanted to mediate. He had thought that Lin Mengya would swallow this humiliation quietly.
He did not expect that Lin Mengya would make things difficult for him.
"Has there been a conclusion on the matter of the second prince of the western vassal state? Are all the witnesses and evidence present? Why are the two of you acting as if you are going to be tried by the three courts? Is this how the Crown Prince and King Ming resolve the matter by slandering the royal family? "
Lin Mengya pressed on. She was a young woman, but her imposing manner was no less than that of the two men.
The tent became quiet in an instant. No one had expected that the petite and beautiful Princess Yu was actually such a daring person.
Although the Crown Prince was in charge of the state affairs, he was not the emperor. According to the laws of Dajin, there was no way to punish Lin Mengya.
Therefore, from his condescending attitude just now, he gave Lin Mengya a chance to counterattack.
"I invited you here because I want to find out what happened that day. Princess Yu, you're overthinking."
Now that things had come to this, the Crown Prince had no choice but to soften his attitude.
If the ministers, princes, and nobles were to find out about this, he would inevitably be condemned by both mouth and pen.
To say that he was siding with an outsider would be a catastrophe for the Crown Prince.
