Lin Mengya shook her head. Although it was a little tricky, it was not difficult.
Lin Mengya inadvertently glanced at the bracelet on Baishao's snow-white wrist, which made Baishao's skin look even more snow-white.
"Recently, I see that you seem to be very busy. Do you need me to send someone to share your burden, so that you don't have to work so hard? "
Lin Mengya did not take Baiji's words to heart.
She had absolute trust in Baishao.
However, she didn't want the person she regarded as her sister to hide something from her.
Baishao did not avoid Lin Mengya's eyes, nor did she feel guilty. She just looked at Lin Mengya gently and said softly,
"It's okay. I'll be fine after the Winter Solstice. I'm not as obedient as my other sisters, so I can only share some of your burden. "
Lin Mengya returned with a smile. Perhaps Baiji was overthinking.
After a while, Lin Nansheng came back from his patrol, but there was still no news from the three people who went back to the city to get the medicine.
In the east, the sky gradually brightened. In the morning light, Lin Mengya accidentally fell asleep in her brother's arms.
"Baizhi, is Young Mistress always this fond of sleeping?"
Lin Nansheng looked at his sister, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
She was a restless child when she was young.
When she grew up, she slept less and did not sleep well every day.
But now, not long after, she always yawned and was very sleepy.
"En, replying to Eldest Young Master, Master is always so sleepy. This is because Master had a serious illness previously. That's why he's like this. "
"Illness? What happened? "
Lin Mengya frowned. He had thought that Prince Yu treated his sister well, but now he was a little confused.
Did Lin Mengya have such a hard time in the prince's mansion?
"Well …"
Baizhi suddenly realized that she might have said something wrong. Fortunately, Baiji came to her rescue when she was in a dilemma and wanted to make up a lie.
"One time, when I went hunting with the prince, I accidentally fell off my horse. It took me many days to recover," Wang Yao said.
Although Lin Nansheng still had some doubts in his heart, Baiji's explanation made him feel slightly relieved.
It was no wonder that the little girl had been afraid of horses since she was young. It made sense.
"Is this injury serious?"
Baiji smiled and said gently, "Yes.
"Don't worry, Eldest Young Master. Master has already been treated by the imperial physician of the palace and is no longer in danger. The imperial physician said that you need to recuperate for a while because you have injured your muscles and bones. "
From the beginning, Lin Nansheng had been paying attention to the four maidservants around Lin Mengya.
Apart from Baizhi, whom he had known for a long time, the other three were all good-looking and intelligent. They were all very rare talents.
With them by his sister's side, he felt much more at ease.
His gaze was gentle as he looked at his younger sister, who was already a wife, in his arms. His heart was filled with tenderness.
Fortunately, his younger sister was safe and sound.
"I'm back! Master, His Highness and Young Master Yu are back! "
Lin Mengya was awakened by Baishao's excited voice. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked outside. It was already bright outside.
"You're back? That's great! "
Lin Mengya got up from her brother's arms. However, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell back onto her seat.
She rubbed her eyebrows. She had been busy the whole night and had forgotten to eat.
The first thing the three travel-worn men saw was Lin Mengya sitting in the arms of another man.
Although that was her biological brother, there was more or less a hint of complicated emotions in the eyes of the three of them.
"What's wrong? Baizhi, get some food for Miss Lin. "
Lin Nansheng, who knew his sister's condition the best, said worriedly.
"Alright, I'll get it ready right away."
Baizhi hurriedly went to look for something to eat. The three men took out some warm food and handed it to Lin Mengya at the same time.
In Lin Zhongyu's hand was a fragrant meat bun, while in Qinghu's hand was a sweet honeyed biscuit.
However, Lin Mengya's eyes were attracted by the thing in Long Tianhao's hand.
In his long and slender hand, there was a chicken drumstick with honey sauce, giving off a unique fragrance.
Lin Mengya bit down on the drumstick without thinking. In an instant, the greasy but not greasy sauce burst out between her teeth.
"Wow, you guys are so good at repelling me! (This drumstick is the best!) "
Long Tianhao looked at the other two men, and there was a hint of pride in his calm eyes.
See, his chicken drumstick with lotus leaves was the most attractive to Lin Mengya.
However, Lin Mengya, who was immersed in the world of food, did not notice the little competition between the three men.
The fragrant biscuit and the meat bun did not escape from her clutches.
Under the astonished gaze of the four maidservants, Lin Mengya ate the amount of food that she would normally not eat in a day.
Lin Mengya patted her bulging belly with a satisfied look on her face.
"Alright, we can get to work now."
He turned around and walked into the tent, leaving the dumbfounded people on the ground.
"Since when did Lin Mengya become such a big eater?"
Lin Nansheng frowned. He did not remember that his sister was a big eater.
"She must be starving. Baizhi, let's go in and help."
Baiji was the first to react. She led the four maidservants into the tent.
Lin Mengya felt nauseous after eating so much.
The indifferent look on her face disappeared. She frowned and tried hard to suppress the desire to vomit.
Recently, she felt that she was tired more and more often.
Under the nourishment of the tonic, she could only get more energy from food.
However, only she knew that although she tried hard to eat a lot, her body was getting thinner day by day.
How ridiculous. If this happened in the past, she would not have to worry about her figure.
Looking at her slender arms, she knew that if she did not detoxify the poison, one day she would be too weak to wake up.
This poison was really troublesome. It did not hurt or itch, but she had to take it seriously.
Lin Mengya patted her face and cheered up.
On the table, there were three big bags of herbs bought by the three people.
Although she said there was no limit, she did not need to buy so many.
Lin Mengya opened each bag and looked at it. She frowned.
She did not know why none of the three people bought green caltrop grass.
"What's wrong? Did we buy the wrong medicine? "
Seeing Lin Mengya's serious expression, Qinghu immediately asked.
"No, you didn't buy the wrong medicine. I forgot to tell you that green caltrop grass is the most common herb. Because it grows on cliffs, many ordinary pharmacies think that it is not worth it and usually do not have it in stock. "
Lin Mengya was in a dilemma. Although there was more than one prescription, green caltrop grass was indispensable.
What should she do?
"Green caltrop grass? I remember that there is such a herb in father's prescription. Because of this, all the green caltrop grass in the city was bought by the Court of Imperial Physicians. "
Long Tianyu frowned and said in a low voice.
If his mother was still in the palace, he could deal with it.
But now it was still early, and the Queen and the Crown Prince were very guarded against him.
They would not let him get the medicine so easily.
By that time, Qin Mo would be dead even if he got the medicine back.
"Don't worry, this medicine is also available in winter. Someone, prepare the horse, I'm going to collect the medicine! "
The most useful part of green caltrop grass was its root.
In winter, when the plants withered, it was the time when the medicine was the purest.
"No! Let me go, Ya. You just need to tell me what it looks like. "
Lin Nansheng stopped his sister, but Lin Mengya shook her head.
In winter, green caltrop grass was no different from other grasses. Unless it was her, it would be difficult to distinguish it.
If he found the wrong one, it would be a waste of Qin Mo's time and life.
"Brother, I'll bring the medicine back. The four of you stay here and look after Master Qin. "
Lin Nansheng wanted to stop her, but a pair of big hands grabbed the reins of the horse in front of Lin Mengya.
"I'll protect her."
These five simple words were powerful. Long Tianhao looked at Lin Nansheng in front of him, and there was an unwavering determination in his eyes.
"If that's the case, then … alright. I'll send a team of guards to protect you. Prince Yu, she's my only sister. "
Two pairs of eyes met in the air. Everything was about this little woman.
Lin Mengya looked at her brother, nodded, and nimbly got on the horse.
Long Tianhao, who followed her, held the reins with both hands, and protected Lin Mengya's petite body.
"Giddy up —" He gently squeezed the horse's belly, and the two of them quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
A team of well-trained guards followed behind them.
Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu followed them without saying a word.
Looking at the mighty group of people disappearing from his sight, Lin Nansheng's heart was hanging in his throat.
The person who tried to assassinate him was vicious, skilled in martial arts, and well-trained. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
If they only wanted to kill him, they would not have left so quickly after injuring Qin Mo.
If what he guessed was true, Lin Mengya and her companions would not have had a smooth journey.
Looking at his good brother who was lying on the bed, he was not sure whether he was alive or not. He could only hope that his sister was safe.
"Isn't this a residential area? Why is it so quiet? "
Lin Zhongyu looked around warily, and whispered to Qinghu.
If they wanted to pick the medicine, they had to pass by a village.
Although it was early in the morning, the farmers should have gotten up to prepare breakfast for their families.
But for some reason, it was quiet everywhere along the way.
Not to mention the smoke, there was not even a chicken, duck, goose, or dog.
