She didn't bring Zhenzhu or Agate with her. After all, this was the emperor's bedroom. Not many people dared to stroll around at this time.
The palace was much more magnificent than the prince's mansion. The golden glazed tiles matched the vermilion palace walls. It was very solemn.
Lin Mengya and Baisu hid in the corner, but their eyes fell on the guards in the distance, who kept going back and forth.
"I've checked. There are four shifts of guards. They patrol 24 hours a day and night. Except for the imperial physicians, no one can get in. Those concubines come to pay their respects every day. They can only stand outside the hall and ask the eunuchs to bring in the things they bring. "
Baisu whispered in her ear, and Lin Mengya nodded.
It seemed that the possibility of sneaking in was too low, since the security was so tight.
"Are there any gaps when the guards change shifts?"
Baisu shook her head seriously. In fact, the guards in the palace were much more sophisticated than those in the prince's mansion. Even if she was good at martial arts, it was difficult for her to get close to them.
"Forget it. We're trapped in this palace now, and we'll find a chance to get in sooner or later. Don't ask around these days, in case someone finds out and causes trouble. "
Things in the palace were more complicated than she thought. She had figured out a way to suppress the Duotian Root. As long as she could make a neutralizing medicine and pour it on the herbs around the Duotian Root, the medicine could slowly make the Duotian Root wither. Then, those herbs would no longer contain this toxin.
It was a meticulous work. Fortunately, there were not many herbs that could survive now. The Duotian Root was also in a state of suspended animation. Otherwise, this method might not work.
The consequence of being in a good mood was that Lin Mengya accidentally ate too much at night. She had a habit. If she had food in her stomach, she would toss and turn at night and couldn't fall asleep.
So naturally, she took Baisu for a long stroll.
Everyone said that the palace was magnificent, but in Lin Mengya's eyes, the palace was full of red walls and green tiles, which was very boring.
After walking for a while, Lin Mengya felt that everywhere was exactly the same. There was nothing to see, so she had to go back to the small courtyard with Baisu.
However, just as he turned around, he felt a small ball bump into his waist.
Lowering his head, Zhang Xuan saw a colorful rattan ball. It was small and exquisite, and it seemed to be a child's toy.
Lin Mengya picked it up and looked at it curiously. Although it was covered in dust, it could be seen that it had been well maintained. Just as he was feeling curious, a childish reprimand came from behind him.
"Where did this servant come from? You picked up this prince's ball and didn't return it. Could it be that you want to take it for yourself?"
How arrogant he was! Lin Mengya turned around and looked at the young boy who was not even as tall as her waist.
She had a pair of watery apricot eyes on her small face that was as soft as tofu. Her pink lips were pouting, as though she was extremely displeased with her.
The dark-red clothes on his body were already covered in mud. He did not look like a prince; he looked more like a little mud monkey.
Yu Xue was so cute that she looked like a mini Long Tianyu. Although the brothers of the Long family all looked like humans, this child looked especially like Long Tianyu.
Lin Mengya immediately became interested. She squatted in front of the child and played with the rattan ball in her hand.
"You said that this ball is yours, but I picked it up without an owner. Do you have any evidence to prove that this ball is yours?"
Lin Mengya wanted to pinch his little face, but she restrained her eager claws. Looking at the little boy's red face, Lin Mengya felt extremely happy. This feeling was as if she had bullied Long Tianyu!
"You … Everyone in the palace knows that this ball belongs to me. Give it back to me quickly. Otherwise, I'll ask my mother to punish you. "
The little boy resisted the urge to cry and threatened Lin Mengya in a serious manner.
Lin Mengya could not help but reach out her hand and gently pinch the little boy's tender little face. He was shouting in his heart that he really wanted to take the little fellow away. This feeling was simply not an ordinary kind of good!
"What are you doing? Bitch! How dare you be so rude to me! "
The little prince did not expect that the woman in front of him would dare to reach out and pinch his little face. In the palace, when the maids and eunuchs saw him, they would only salute and greet him.
Suddenly, the grievances in his heart surged like a tide. But the nature of the Long family made him unwilling to admit defeat, so he would not easily surrender.
Therefore, when he found that it was useless to struggle, he immediately bit the back of Lin Mengya's hand with his teeth that had not completely changed.
Huh? Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at the little boy who was biting her hand like a wolf.
Although it was not painful, she did not expect that this little Long Tianyu was also a stubborn little boy.
"Let go of me. The person in front of you is not a bitch, but Princess Yu!"
Baisu was anxious and blurted out Lin Mengya's identity.
But the little boy blinked his big eyes and looked at her blankly. However, his teeth were no longer biting her forcefully.
"Why don't you bite me? I saw that you were biting me hard just now. "
Lin Mengya withdrew her hand and ignored the shallow teeth marks on her hand. She thought that she was bitten by a puppy. She could not help but think of the two little guys at home.
She could not help feeling a little lost. Since she came here, there were always all kinds of things in her life. Inadvertently, she missed a lot of good things.
She could not help showing a self-deprecating smile. She was really an irresponsible person.
"Are you the third sister-in-law?"
His apricot eyes widened and his little mouth opened slightly, as if he had seen something incredible.
Lin Mengya only thought that this little guy was so cute, so she pinched his little face and teased him.
"Yes, I'm your third prince. I remember that you asked me where I came from just now. It seems that I have to go back and tell your third brother that you insulted me. "
She just wanted to tease the child, but the little guy burst into tears. His voice was louder and louder, which was extremely miserable.
"Okay, okay, you were as brave as a wolf just now. I'm teasing you. I won't tell your third brother. Now, can you tell me who you are? "
This little guy changed his face really fast. There were still a few crystal tears hanging on his curved eyelashes. After bowing his head and thinking for a moment, he said in a soft voice,
"My name is Long Yinghua, the tenth prince. Third sister-in-law, please don't tell my third brother, okay? "
Lin Mengya was secretly complacent. Looking at the little guy's flattering eyes, she did not expect that Long Tianyu could be so deterrent to children.
She pretended to hesitate for a moment and then nodded. This little guy was very interesting. He looked only six or seven years old. Maybe it was because of his young age that he had not been infected with the coarse habits in the palace.
"Thank you, third sister-in-law. This ball is for you."
Long Yinghua said sweetly, but there was a little reluctance in his bright black eyes.
Lin Mengya would not bully a child, so she handed it to him. She patted his little head and said, "This ball is for you.
"I'll give the ball back to you. I don't want a child's heart to be good. Don't worry, I won't tell your third brother. But in the future, you can't be so rude to others! "
Long Yinghua nodded hurriedly and held the ball in his arms tightly, for fear that it would be taken away.
However, his eyes secretly glanced at the third sister-in-law in front of him.
"Well, it's getting late. You should go back and have a rest early. I think you ran out by yourself. Are there any maids or nannies around you? "
She had been a little curious since just now, because the child's clothes were not shabby. However, after talking with her for such a long time, why didn't she see anyone who came out to look for him?
Yinghua also looked around with a puzzled look in his eyes.
Lin Mengya was moved. Although there were guards and people from the Servants Administration everywhere in the palace, the adults would definitely be worried if the child was lost.
She reached out to Long Yinghua with a warm smile on her face and said,
"Come on, I'll send you back to the palace."
Long Yinghua hesitated for a moment, but he still put his chubby little hand into Lin Mengya's palm.
Under Baisu's protection, the big one and the small one walked into the palace.
Although she didn't know where Long Yinghua lived, the bedchambers of the concubines were all in the inner court. The place where she lived was a little closer to the outer courtyard.
However, she didn't see anyone after walking through three palace gates.
The palace lanterns had been lit at dusk. At this moment, although there was a dim light as a fingerprint, the quiet tunnel still made people feel a little scared.
Lin Mengya became more and more confused. "Something is wrong. There should be eunuchs or maids guarding every palace gate.
It's just dark. Why is there no one? "
Her natural sharp intuition made her hold Long Yinghua's little hand tightly. How did a young child 'coincidentally' walk so far away and bump into her?
"Long Yinghua, when you came out, where is the person who followed you?"
Everyone in the palace was surrounded by people, not to mention an underage prince like Long Yinghua.
After thinking carefully, the little fellow said, "Mother left the wet nurse in the palace.
"Nanny was left in the palace by Lady Mother. I don't like anyone else. So, I purposely hid. When they all left, I came out. "
The little guy's words were definitely true. Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. After giving Baisu a wary look, she bent down and picked up Long Yinghua.
"Let's play a game. After a while, I'll take you to hide, and then quietly go back to your mother's bedchamber, okay?"
The child naturally agreed. Lin Mengya looked around and hid in the darkness under the cover of Baisu.
Long Yinghua's eyes were wide open, full of excitement.
