"I'll go and have a look. I'll be back soon."
Long Tianhao thought for a while and decided to ask Long Qinghan about it.
"Go ahead."
Lin Mengya, who had eaten and drank to her heart's content, could not care less.
The maidservants who had received the reward had already started to play Fight the Landlord.
Now, she regretted teaching this national game to the people in the courtyard.
"Your Highness, it's hard to walk on a snowy night. Take this lantern."
Lin Mengya handed one of her glass lamps to Long Tianhao in a natural manner, without trying to curry favor with him at all.
It was as if she deserved to be like this.
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
Looking at the happy atmosphere in the room, Long Tianhao suddenly felt that this was the feeling of home.
He carried the lantern and walked out of the Liuxin Courtyard. For the first time, he felt reluctant to leave.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince sent a secret report from the army. It's about the Princess's brother!"
Steward Deng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went up to him and said in a low voice.
"What?"
Long Tianhao frowned. It was about Lin Nansheng?
"You have to ask the Seventh Prince about the details. He's waiting for you in the study!"
Long Tianhao hurried to the study, where Long Qinghan, whom he had not seen for a long time, was waiting for him.
"Something happened in the military camp. Lin Nansheng was assassinated!"
What?!
Long Tianhao looked at Long Qinghan seriously.
Lin Nansheng had returned to the outskirts of the capital city five days ago as the vanguard.
He did not expect that something like this would happen when he just returned to the capital city.
Did the assassin come for the Lin family, or …
"What news did your men get?"
Long Qinghan thought for a while, then shook his head and said,
"My men were also injured. They spread the news in a hurry. Fortunately, Lin Nansheng was strict in managing the army, so there was no big trouble."
The Winter Solstice Festival had arrived, and Lin Nansheng had returned with a great victory. All the officials were watching him.
"Should I tell … Lin Mengya?"
Even Long Qinghan could feel that Lin Mengya was becoming more and more important to his Third Brother.
Third Brother had never cared about any woman, but this woman, who seemed to have a heart like a snake or scorpion, had planted a seed in his heart.
However, he was very clear that Third Brother would never fall in love with any woman.
"I'm afraid we can't hide this from her. Rather than letting her find out from someone else, I'd rather tell her myself. "
Long Tianhao turned around without hesitation and walked toward the Liuxin Courtyard.
However, Long Qinghan blocked his way.
"Let's go tell her. With her intelligence, she'll definitely guess that we have spies in the army. Aren't you afraid that she'll tell Lin Nansheng? "
Long Tianhao hesitated for a moment. They had carefully selected the spies in the army and they were deeply trusted by the father and son of the Lin family.
If he were to be exposed just like that, all those years of effort would be wasted.
"I can't hide it from her. Lin Nansheng is very important to her."
After that, Long Tianhao no longer hesitated and strode toward the Liuxin Courtyard.
Long Qinghan shook his head as a grave look appeared on his face.
He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that Third Brother valued Lin Mengya so much.
In the Liuxin Courtyard, a few people were sitting around the stove, eating and chatting.
"Prince Yu is back!"
The old maid who was on night duty came to report and lifted the curtain to let Long Tianhao in.
Long Tianhao had a grave look on his face.
He looked at Lin Mengya with a little hesitation in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mengya rarely saw such an expression on Long Tianhao's face.
She walked up to him and asked with a little concern.
"Something … something happened to your elder brother …"
Before he could finish his words, Lin Mengya grabbed Long Tianhao's arm tightly and asked anxiously with her eyes wide open,
"Elder brother, what happened to my elder brother?"
"Calm down, the situation is not clear yet. The only thing we can be sure of is that your elder brother's life is not in danger for the time being. "
Long Tianhao hugged Lin Mengya so that she could calm down in his arms.
"Elder brother … isn't he in the army camp? The security in the army camp is so tight, how did he get injured? "
Lin Mengya was anxious to find an answer, although the soul in this body had never met Lin Nansheng.
However, the more she was in tune with this body, the more her heart was integrated into the Lin family.
As Lin Mengya's only elder brother, Lin Nansheng had a very important place in her heart.
Her heart was seized when she heard that her elder brother was in trouble.
"Someone tried to assassinate him, calm down. It's okay, your elder brother is fine now! "
Long Tianhao couldn't help hugging the girl in his arms tightly. She was usually so strong and courageous, but now she seemed to have turned soft.
It turned out that she also had such a soft side.
"I want to see him!"
No matter what, she had to see her elder brother.
No matter what others said, she had to see him to be at ease!
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Although the army has been stationed outside the city, the officials are not allowed to contact him in private without the imperial edict."
Long Qinghan lifted the curtain and said as he walked in.
Lin Mengya raised her head and looked at Long Tianhao with determination.
"I want to see him, I must!"
Her eyes were filled with unquestionable determination. Long Tianhao knew very well how stubborn she was.
He nodded and wrapped Lin Mengya's thin body with his cloak.
"Third Elder Brother, you can't go!"
Crazy! Third Elder Brother and Lin Mengya were crazy!
Long Qinghan blocked the way of Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya without hesitation, and there was no longer a relaxed smile on his face.
"Get out of the way."
It was a simple word, but it was powerful and clear.
Long Tianhao knew that in order to avoid arousing suspicion, it was not appropriate for him to appear in the army.
But Lin Mengya wanted to go. Even if he did not agree, Lin Mengya would find a way to go.
Therefore, it was better for him to go with her.
"No! I can't let you! You will anger the Crown Prince! Don't tell me you've forgotten about Linlang? "
Linlang! Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly raised her head to look at him in Long Tianhao's arms.
As expected, Long Tianhao stopped in his tracks, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
"Things are different now, and I won't let the past repeat itself."
An unfathomable pain flashed through Long Tianhao's eyes, but it did not stop him from moving forward.
He walked past Long Qinghan, and walked out of the Liuxin Courtyard with the girl in his arms.
"If you do this, you may destroy all your hard work over the years. Don't you care?!"
Long Qinghan was still standing in front of Long Tianhao, and his face was full of grief and indignation.
"Forget it, I'll take the little girl with me. Prince Yu, you have your own things to worry about. "
Another pair of hands reached out to take the girl in Long Tianhao's arms.
But Long Tianhao dodged Qinghu's hands, and looked at him coldly.
"She is my Princess Consort. I have to go."
Long Tianhao's fingers moved like lightning, and before Long Qinghan could react, Long Tianhao had sealed his acupoints.
"Qinghan, I told you, the past will not repeat itself."
There was an apologetic look in his eyes. Long Qinghan was his best brother, and he had done too much for him.
Snowflakes fell from the sky again.
Everyone followed Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya out of the courtyard in a grandiose manner.
Only Long Qinghan's lonely figure stood upright like a lonely tree.
Third Elder Brother! Come back! Unseal his acupoints!
Sob, it was still snowing! He did not want to be buried alive!
Long Qinghan wanted to cry, but no tears came out. It would take at least two hours for his acupoints to be unsealed.
Sob, sob, why was he so unlucky?
A few fine horses were brought out from the stables in the backyard.
Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya shared a horse, and carefully held the slender girl in his big cloak. Under the cover of the night, they sneaked out of the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.
It was difficult to travel on a snowy night, and it was not easy to hide, so there were fewer spies watching Prince Yu's Mansion.
In addition, he chose to ride in a small alley, so he did not attract the attention of any spies until he reached the city gate.
"Isn't the city gate closed now?"
Lin Mengya was worried, and she also knew that she was a little rash.
But Long Tianhao pressed down on her little head, and gave her a look that said everything was under his control.
Leaning on Long Tianhao's warm chest, Lin Mengya did not know why she chose to believe in Long Tianhao.
They rode close to the west city gate, and strangely, no one came to stop them.
The guards immediately opened the city gate, and the few horses smoothly went out of the city gate, as if there was no one there.
Through the gap of the big cloak, Lin Mengya saw a pair of feet in a pair of greenish-gray official boots.
She had seen the style of this pair of boots in a batch of military supplies purchased by Long Tianhao.
This man had pretended to be courteous to the Crown Prince for so many years, but how many forces had he secretly planted?
For the first time, Lin Mengya realized how powerful this man, who seemed to be quiet, was.
She had always used all kinds of excuses to extort money from Long Tianhao …
The snow was getting heavier, and the dirt road outside the city had been frozen hard.
But there was no sound of the horse's hooves, which was enough to show how thick the snow was.
They gradually slowed down, and Lin Mengya knew that this was for safety reasons.
But her heart was burning with anxiety, and she poked her head out from time to time, wanting to see how far they were from her brother's military camp.
The cold wind passed by, and her pink nose tip and earlobe turned red.
Long Tianhao frowned, and pressed her little head back with his big hand. But secretly, he tightened the horse's belly, and suddenly, the speed was a lot faster.
Gradually, the two white horses galloped as if they were flying, pulling away from the back of the group.
Sitting on the horse, Lin Mengya did not feel that the snow road was difficult, and only Long Tianhao's regular and powerful heartbeat gradually calmed her down.
The heartache when her mother passed away swept her heart.
Brother, wait for her, she will come soon.
