Lin Mengya was discussing the prescription with Qiu Yu. She had just finished concocting part of the prescription and the two of them were discussing the efficacy of the medicine. Long Tianhao's figure appeared outside the door.
"I merely wanted to see how far you've progressed."
Long Tianhao averted his eyes a little, but when he saw that the distance between the two of them was a little too close, he became a little angry.
Lin Mengya was a person who did not bother about trifles. This could be seen from Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu. However, why didn't Qiu Yu, as a doctor of the Court of Imperial Physicians, know about the rules?
"We're making good progress. We should be able to develop the antidote soon. Your Highness need not worry. No matter what happens, I will inform you immediately. "
Lin Mengya's answer was polite and formal.
This was her habit in the past. As long as she officially entered work mode, she would not recognize anyone.
Long Tianhao, on the other hand, felt a little stuffy and uncomfortable in his chest.
She was still so gentle and adorable in the past. He had only interacted with Qiu Yu for half a day, yet he was already so cold to him.
Instantly, his anger toward Qiu Yu intensified.
However, for the sake of developing an antidote for his father, he had no choice but to endure it.
"Alright, you guys get busy. This Prince will leave first and won't disturb you any longer. "
There was obvious anger in Long Tianhao's tone.
Even Qiu Yu, an outsider, couldn't help but take another look at him. But Lin Mengya seemed not to notice it at all, and continued to work.
Qiu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. He was afraid that Prince Yu, who liked to think too much, must hate him to death.
Sigh, why was he so pitiful? Why did he have to be mixed with these two people?
At the thought of this, Qiu Yu felt that he had an obligation to warn the two of them in order to prevent himself from dying a horrible death.
"Ahem, Your Highness, were you a little bit cold just now?"
Seeing Lin Mengya's puzzled look, Qiu Yu smiled and continued to remind her tactfully.
"What I mean is, although we are pressed for time. However, there was still time to talk. So I think it would be better for you to explain it to Prince Yu, lest there be any misunderstanding, right? "
After hearing Qiu Yu's words, Lin Mengya thought about it for a minute and then put it to the back of her mind.
"What's there to explain? Right now, the most important thing is to hurry up and develop the antidote."
Seeing that his persuasion had failed, Qiu Yu could only shake his head regretfully.
He had long felt that although Long Tianhao was outstanding, if he wanted to grow old together with Lin Mengya, he would have to do it. The personalities of the two of them still needed to be tempered.
Hopefully, this research on the antidote would allow them to realize the crucial turning point in this matter.
Since Lin Mengya shut herself in her room to study the antidote every day, the atmosphere in Prince Yu's Mansion had become extremely weird.
The first to feel strange was Prince Yu, who was equally busy.
Long Tianhao had not stepped into the Liuxin Courtyard ever since he stormed out angrily last time. However, every day when they went in and out of the Liuxin Courtyard, they would stare at the gate of the Liuxin Courtyard viciously.
Now, not to mention the servants in the Liuxin Courtyard.
Even the ordinary servants in the Prince Yu's Mansion felt that their work pressure had suddenly increased by several times.
"Your Highness, the luggage has been packed. Would you like to have a look at it yourself?"
In the study, Long Tianhao was reading the urgent military report when Lin Kui asked respectfully.
Long Tianhao raised his eyebrows. The packing should have been done by a woman. But now, his wife was doing something that only a man should do.
Moreover, it was something that he could not lose his temper at all.
Instantly, his handsome face, which had always been cold, became gloomy.
He did not know whether he was dissatisfied with Lin Mengya's attitude or dissatisfied with his own helplessness.
"Got it."
After putting down the urgent military report, Long Tianhao knew that he could not be immersed in these personal affairs every day.
Being in charge of military affairs was an important task that his father, the Emperor, had assigned to him when he was still healthy.
Although Long Qinghan, the seventh prince, was naughty and mischievous, he was still able to take charge of an army and was a hero.
That was why his father, the Emperor, was so relieved.
However, since the last time, the important ministers of the neutral forces had secretly cut off many of the Crown Prince's secret forces. On the surface, the Crown Prince seemed to have learned to be obedient, but in fact, he had joined forces with many powerful ministers to seize the military power.
This time, he went out to inspect the situation of the spring plowing. It seemed that the Crown Prince had entrusted him with an important task, but in fact, he was pushed into a dilemma.
If he did not go, the Crown Prince could justifiably say that he did not care about the people's feelings. Not only would he wantonly damage his reputation, but he could also use this matter to smear him.
If he went, although Qinghan was capable, he had not been vigilant against the Crown Prince because he had been hiding his strength and biding his time these years.
If he used Qinghan at this time, it would only make the humiliation that Qinghan had endured all these years disappear like smoke.
However, if he went out to inspect the capital city, it would take at most three to five months, or at least one to two months. In this case, there must be someone in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War on behalf of him.
Long Tianhao did not need to think to know that this person must have been arranged by the Crown Prince.
Even if it was not, he must have a complicated connection with the Crown Prince's power.
Unfortunately, his deputy in the Ministry of War had been sent out for another business. It would take at least half a year for him to return. The Ministry of War was the place that controlled the entire army of Dajin.
If it was really controlled by the Crown Prince, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even the important ministers of the neutral forces could not interfere too much in this matter.
The Crown Prince was the Crown Prince after all. If the Emperor really passed away, the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne would be justified. By that time, these important ministers could only pledge their loyalty to the new Emperor.
Therefore, now he could only find a suitable way to solve this matter in the limited time.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince is here."
Steward Deng's voice suddenly sounded outside the study and interrupted Long Tianhao's thoughts.
Then, Long Qinghan, who was dressed in a lake blue brocade robe, appeared in front of Long Tianhao with a smile, waving the folding fan in his hand.
He recalled that more than ten years ago, when he and Qinghan were still children. That humble and cowardly young man had become a famous romantic scholar in the whole of Dajin today. His Imperial Mother's soul in heaven would also be comforted a little.
At present, apart from Lin Mengya, the Seventh Brother in front of him was the closest person to him in the mansion.
At that moment, Long Tianhao could not help but feel a touch of warmth in his eyes.
"You're here, have a seat."
Long Qinghan looked at his elder brother in surprise.
Good heavens, did he hear it wrong?
His third elder brother, who had always been rude to him and wanted to kill him at the slightest provocation, when did he become such a modest and gentle gentleman?
However, the surprise only lasted for a moment.
If he recalled that the princess was the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Things would become much simpler.
Perhaps his third elder brother had really been secretly changed by the eldest daughter of the Lin family. Who knew?
He found a seat and sat down. Long Qinghan came today for the matter of the Ministry of War.
He could empathize with the predicament that his third elder brother was facing now. Therefore, he came here to sound out his third elder brother's thoughts.
"Third elder brother, have you made arrangements for the inspection of the spring ploughing?"
Long Qinghan asked cautiously. Their father, the emperor, had taught them before. The spring ploughing was related to the lifeline of the whole country.
The Crown Prince had grasped this point, so he dared to send his third elder brother out openly.
Moreover, he had also calculated that his third elder brother could not be delayed.
But the matter of the Ministry of War …
He secretly clenched his fists. If there was really no other choice, he would have no choice but to expose himself.
"Everything has been arranged. Don't worry, I'll handle the matter of the Ministry of War. "
Long Tianhao's words stopped Long Qinghan from recommending himself.
"You know, the Crown Prince has always been eyeing the Ministry of War. If not for the fact that my father had long seen through his nature, he would not have handed the Ministry of War over to you. "
Long Qinghan said with some resentment. According to the rules of the dynasty, matters related to the lifeline of the country had to be controlled by the direct bloodline of the royal family.
There was a balance between the two sides, so that no one would covet the throne, and they could give full play to their respective talents.
Therefore, although the Crown Prince controlled the power of money and grain, the third elder brother controlled the military power. Unexpectedly, the emperor fell ill so suddenly, and there were many things that he had not explained in detail.
That was why the current situation was so complicated.
"I've already found a suitable candidate, and he can come to the capital city in a few days. In these few days, you have to keep a low profile and help me keep an eye on the Crown Prince and his men. See what they are up to. "
Long Tianhao's words instantly made Long Qinghan's frown disappear.
He opened the paper fan in a natural and unrestrained manner, and looked like an elegant gentleman, replacing the frown on the Seventh Prince's face.
"I knew that you would have a solution, Third Elder Brother. But recently, the Crown Prince may not have time to care about you, because he is now running around the Bright-Moon Restaurant every day. "
The Bright-Moon Restaurant? Long Tianhao thought for a while, and then remembered that it was a brothel that Long Qinghan had mentioned to him.
Perhaps Long Qinghan was more talented in eating, drinking, and having fun than leading the army to war.
Take the Bright-Moon Restaurant for example. It was said that the girls in the restaurant were all proficient in the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
