"Your Highness, you're highly skilled in martial arts. You'll be fine. There's no good news, but there's no bad news either. Master, you'd better eat something. Don't forget that someone is still eyeing you covetously. "
Baiji brought a bowl of white rice porridge to Lin Mengya, implicitly reminding her that the Crown Prince had not given up yet.
"You're right."
Lin Mengya took the bowl from Baiji's hand and began to sip the porridge.
The Crown Prince's way of handling the situation was too cowardly.
When he was under attack, as the Crown Prince, he disregarded the safety of his subjects and insisted on running for his life. Who would really entrust their lives to such a person?
Lin Mengya suddenly had an idea. Perhaps this time, she could catch the Crown Prince by surprise.
Just as Lin Mengya was perfecting the plan in her mind, there was a small commotion outside.
Although the temporary imperial residence was not small, there were limited rooms.
At this moment, the Crown Prince was still putting on a show. He occupied many rooms and did not care about the others.
In the temporary imperial residence, apart from the soldiers sent to reinforce Long Tianhao, most of the imperial guards were surrounding the Crown Prince.
Everyone had only reached this place after running for their lives.
Now, not only were there no rooms, but also no one to drink water. Instead, the Crown Prince was still putting on a show.
Immediately, some of the more courageous ones began to complain.
"Your Highness, if this goes on, I'm afraid these people will hold a grudge against you."
Lord Zhang stood beside the Crown Prince and said cautiously.
Unfortunately, the Crown Prince was now like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow. Any movement would arouse his vigilance.
"Hold a grudge against me? They hold a grudge against me? Humph, if I hadn't been slowed down by these people, I would have returned to the Capital City by now. "
In the Crown Prince's eyes, these people were just a burden.
Although the ministers were gone, there were still replacements in the imperial court.
He was the most honorable Crown Prince in Dajin. If anything happened to him, even the lives of all the people outside would not be able to save him.
Lord Zhang was speechless. He knew the Crown Prince's character too well.
The Crown Prince looked very mature, but deep down, he could not get rid of the Queen's control.
If the Empress hadn't held the Crown Prince hostage all these years, there would have been more trouble.
"But you can't just ignore these people, right?"
Lord Zhang was an old minister in the imperial court. He could see things further than the Crown Prince.
When the enemy attacked, the Crown Prince was the first to run away with his people. This had already become a stain that was neither too big nor too small.
One had to know that it was easy to obtain a thousand taels of gold, but it was difficult to obtain a person's heart!
"I won't starve to death even if I skip a meal. I'll be able to return to the capital at night. Don't tell me you also want to go out with them? "
The Crown Prince frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
Lord Zhang immediately shut his mouth, but a faint bitterness welled up in his heart.
He had thought that marrying his daughter to the Crown Prince was a brilliant move.
But from the looks of it now, it was still too early to say that.
"These are some simple things. If you don't mind, come and have some."
Just as the dissatisfaction of the people outside rose like a rising tide, a gentle voice reached everyone's ears.
Lin Mengya brought some food and water with her four maidservants and began to distribute them at the edge of the crowd.
"Don't fight, don't fight. There's food for everyone. Those who are standing further away, please let the maidservants in the mansion come with me to make something for everyone."
As soon as Baiji's voice fell, a few quick-witted maidservants dressed in different clothes gathered around her.
The food was soon distributed, but there was still some cool and sweet water.
Lin Mengya stood quietly behind the maidservants. The expression on her face was neither complacent nor impatient. She looked at everyone who came to collect food calmly.
"There's really something to eat. Let's go!"
The fire in the kitchen had not been put out, so some simple food was quickly cooked.
The first batch of young maidservants happily carried the food and returned to the group of the main family.
When they heard that there was really something to eat, all of them were ready to go. Gradually, the situation was out of control.
"Don't push, everyone. Line up over there. Although the kitchen is big, it can only accommodate five families at a time. Those who are not in the line, don't worry. Those in front can make more food, and soon it will be your turn. "
There were no delicacies in the temporary imperial residence, but there was no shortage of rice, flour, grain, and oil.
Moreover, the Crown Prince was supposed to stay in the temporary imperial residence for a few days for the hunt.
Therefore, the guards had prepared a large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Zhu Aizhi, who was doing Lin Mengya a big favor, also ordered his trusted subordinates to help. Therefore, after two hours of busy work, most of the people had eaten hot food.
"Now, only a few families didn't go to cook. But those in front made more, so they were given some to them. "
Among the four maidservants, Baiji worked the hardest.
When Lin Mengya suggested to send water and food, Baiji and Baishao steamed a big pot of rice in the kitchen.
Therefore, most of them just cooked some vegetables and made some noodle soup. Naturally, it was very fast.
"Good girl, you've worked hard."
Lin Mengya took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on Baiji's face.
Although she did not say anything, and when people came to express their gratitude, she just smiled and said nothing.
But most of the people were thinking of her in their hearts.
Of course, there were some people who were not easy to deal with, no matter what she did, they would always be against her.
For example, Lin Mengwu and her mother, who were thick-skinned and on the Crown Prince's side.
Now that the Crown Prince had lost the support of the people, her and Long Tianhao's reputation would rise.
"It's okay, Master. Don't worry about it. Baiji can't do anything else, but she can cook. "
Lin Mengya found that although Baiji was quiet, she was intelligent and kind.
Those who had more women in their families lined up at the front, but they took out a part of the food and gave it to the people at the back.
Everything had been arranged properly, and not a single complaint had been left behind.
How could such a top-notch person fall into her hands so coincidentally?
It seemed that the four maidservants in her courtyard were not simple people.
"You've made a great contribution. When we go back, we'll reward you according to your contributions. "
Lin Mengya said with a mysterious smile.
Hearing that there was a reward, the four maidservants immediately beamed with joy.
Their master was a very generous person. If she said that she would reward them, it must be very generous.
The sky had gradually darkened.
The Crown Prince, who was supposed to rush back to the Capital City immediately, unexpectedly settled down.
Lin Mengya instructed Zhu Aizhi to make the appropriate arrangements for everyone.
Although they were here, it seemed that they were in trouble. If they returned to the Capital City, these people would be very strong support!
"Baiji, how long has it been? Why is there no news from the Prince?"
Lin Mengya leaned against the door and looked into the distance.
A whole day had passed. She wondered if Long Tianhao had eaten or drunk anything.
Why was there no news from him now?
As she spoke, there was a flash of light outside. Bai Zhi jumped up happily and shouted, "Don't worry.
"It's a torch! It seems that the Prince is back! "
The light from the fire outside seemed to illuminate the entire night sky.
Zhu Aizhi's assistant reported that it was indeed Long Tianhao and the others.
"Baiji, go and prepare some food. Baishao, go and gather all the doctors. They must have injured people. Baiji, Baisu, come with me to meet the Prince. "
Many women also rushed out of the rooms that were lit with lamps.
The fluttering torches also tugged at their hearts.
Their fathers, brothers, husbands, and lovers were in there. But at this moment, they could not see their faces clearly because of the darkness.
Were they injured? Were they also looking forward to seeing her?
Lin Mengya could understand their feelings at this moment.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Mengya at the same time, as if they were waiting for her approval.
"It's the Prince. Who wants to go with me to meet our heroes?"
"Me! I want to go with the princess! "
"Me too!"
After getting Lin Mengya's approval, the noisy crowd suddenly became excited.
Lin Mengya nodded and asked Baisu to lead everyone to the gate of the temporary imperial residence.
The torch was like a long snake, winding as it approached.
Lin Mengya's heart was beating like a war drum. It was so fast that she almost blurted out.
She held her hand tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the approaching crowd.
Finally, the vanguard of the fire snake arrived at the gate of the temporary imperial residence.
After a whole day of fighting, the clothes of the three main forces had long been dyed purple and black with blood.
Long Tianhao, Long Qinghan, and Hu Tianbei supported each other and walked up to Lin Mengya.
"Your Highness —"
Words had long become unnecessary. Lin Mengya could not care about anything else and threw herself into Long Tianhao's arms.
She listened to his strong heartbeat and smelled his fresh breath.
Her heart, which had been hanging for the whole day, finally calmed down temporarily.
"It's dirty."
His hoarse voice carried a trace of exhaustion.
Long Tianhao wanted to break away from Lin Mengya, but she hugged him more tightly.
"No, this is the memorial for the hero, Your Highness!"
Lin Mengya knew that Long Tianhao was afraid of dirtying her clothes.
Long Tianhao was slightly stunned. His cold and sharp eyes became much gentler because of the woman in his arms.
His hand, which had been holding the sword for a whole day, was already sore and numb.
However, he still couldn't help but gently stroke her hair and smell her pleasant fragrance.
"I'm back."
