"No, I've already woken up."
Lin Mengya yawned and rubbed her eyes. She immediately leaned against the window and looked at her main room.
She slept very soundly last night, so she didn't hear anything that happened outside.
The lock was still on the door. Could it be that this idiot dared to leave alone without saying goodbye to her?
Humph, he really left her alone in the mansion.
She would never forgive him this time!
She pouted and sulked. Even she did not know whether it was because Long Tianhao left without saying goodbye. Or because she was locked up in the courtyard and was not allowed to go out.
In short, the consequences would be severe if she, Princess Yu, was angry.
Ms. Tian had already brought in a fragrant and warm spring dress. It was a lotus-colored dress with a thin layer of cotton inside.
She used to think that Madam's wardrobe was magnificent.
He didn't expect that the Young Miss had so many clothes that she had to set aside a separate room to store them.
However, Miss was as good-tempered as usual when it came to food and clothes. Miss did not have any requirements as long as she had enough to eat and warm clothes.
After dressing up, Lin Mengya secretly ran to the door of the Liuxin Courtyard.
Last night, she was the target of the strict watch. She quietly poked her head out. It was strange. Why was there no one since this morning?
Lin Mengya lifted the hem of her dress and carefully ran out of the door.
Was it because the people in the mansion had gone to slack off? With this question in mind, Lin Mengya trotted all the way to the gate of the mansion.
However, just as she was about to take a step forward, eight guards immediately blocked her way.
"Princess, please go back to the mansion!"
Lin Mengya was startled by the deafening voice.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the eight dark faces. Ha! Where the hell did these Black Fiends pop out from?!
"Get out of the way. I'm going out!"
Lin Mengya's eyes were burning with anger. She looked so careless, as if she was ready to kill anyone who dared to stand in her way.
However, these eight guards were all carefully selected by Long Tianhao, and they were all talents who had undergone on-the-job training in advance.
The eight of them surrounded Lin Mengya as if they had a tacit understanding.
As she moved forward, they followed. When she retreated, they followed suit.
They knew when to advance and when to retreat, and their cooperation was natural and tacit.
Lin Mengya soon gave up the idea of breaking out of the encirclement. She stared angrily at the eight unshakable iron pillars.
Alright, alright, she surrendered, alright?
By the time she reached the courtyard, she turned around and saw that the eight guards had already disappeared without her noticing.
However, the next time she appeared at the door, they would definitely appear out of nowhere.
Long Tianhao, you win!
Qiu Yu felt a little strange as he looked at his partner who was passionate about handling all kinds of herbs.
However, while her eyes were shining with a golden light, she was speaking eloquently and forcefully using the guillotine to cut those medicinal herbs. Just a little bit — scary.
She tugged at Baiji, who had been following them and assisting them. He pursed his lips, wanting to ask what was going on.
"Shh, don't provoke my master. She has been banned from going out by the prince. "
Baiji whispered to Qiu Yu. She must have told Qiu Yu about Lin Mengya's three failures today. She told Qiu Yu. In the room, in addition to the sound of the guillotine cutting the medicinal herbs, there were two people who deliberately suppressed their laughter.
"What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy? "
The two people who were close to each other immediately separated. They immediately pretended that nothing had happened and lowered their heads to deal with their own affairs.
However, Lin Mengya, with a somewhat scary fake smile, held a shiny kitchen knife used to cut the roots of the herbs, and approached them step by step.
"No — we didn't laugh at anything. Master, I'll go and see if there's anything I can do for Ms. Tian. "
Baiji was quick-witted. She quickly slipped away.
Qiu Yu, who was left alone in the room, had to put on a flattering smile while complaining in his heart.
"I don't dare to laugh at you. By the way, I've given the emperor the medicine yesterday. The effect is good. The emperor has discharged a lot of toxins, but as expected. Although the Emperor's condition had improved, his body was getting weaker and weaker. Without the Prancing Dragon Grass, I'm afraid he won't be healthy in the future. "
Qiu Yu didn't dare to provoke Lin Mengya with the sharp white kitchen knife in front of him!
After much persuasion, they finally got to the point of business. Only then did he manage to save his life.
"Don't worry, it won't be delayed. I'll be on my way in three days. There's a caravan in the Capital City going to the capital of the Nation of Lintian for business. I want to disguise myself as a businessman and go there. "
Lin Mengya threw the kitchen knife aside and returned to her usual calm appearance.
Although Long Tianhao banned her from going out, she had figured out the temperament of those people in less than a day. She had already planned out the best escape route. Trying to block her? Dream on!
"You're really — but if you want to go to the Nation of Lintian, you must have an entry and exit permit. Moreover, you're the princess. How can you do it without anyone knowing? Besides, without Long Tianhao's support, you can't get the Prancing Dragon Grass so easily. "
Qiu Yu had an enigmatic smile on his face. He seemed to think that Lin Mengya, as the princess, couldn't solve these problems.
But he didn't know that in addition to Princess Yu of the Jin State, there was another person. She also had another identity, which was the Hall Master of Sanjue Hall.
At the beginning of her creation, she had used Xiao Yu's help to forge another identity for herself.
As long as she used that identity, she would be an ordinary businessman.
As for the way to get the Prancing Dragon Grass, there would be a way. It was better than being anxious here.
"Do you remember the cloth you used to wrap the herbs last time?"
Qiu Yu's eyes flashed with caution.
But Lin Mengya was thinking about her own affairs and didn't notice it.
Hearing his question, she just nodded. It was a strange thing that could be put in a wooden box and didn't rot after more than ten years.
"Although my family has been practicing medicine for generations, we have also traveled the world. The cloth you used to wrap the herbs that day seemed to be extraordinary. I remember that there seemed to be a plum blossom in the lower right corner of the cloth. I just took a look at it and didn't have a deep impression of it. But the plum blossom seemed to be different from the ones in Dajin. I heard that most people in the Nation of Lintian like plum blossoms. Some clans even use plum blossoms as a name. Why don't you study it carefully? If it's an old acquaintance of your mother, you can take it to find her. Will it be helpful? "
Plum blossom?
Lin Mengya recalled the details of the cloth carefully. It seemed that there was a plum blossom in the corner.
She looked at Qiu Yu suspiciously. It was just a piece of cloth. How could he guess that it was related to the Nation of Lintian?
If this was the case, with Qiu Yu's knowledge, he was not as simple as an imperial physician.
Sensing Lin Mengya's suspicion, Qiu Yu shut up cleverly.
He couldn't explain. If he did, Lin Mengya would misunderstand.
It was better to tell her what he knew and let her find the answer by herself.
"If this is the case, it will be helpful to me. Wait a minute, I'll go get it. "
Lin Mengya just gave Qiu Yu a meaningful look, turned around, and walked out of the pharmacy.
Looking at the slender back, Qiu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she didn't get to the bottom of it. However, with her intelligence, she would definitely be able to sniff out some clues.
A helpless and bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He hoped that his guess was right this time.
Baizhi was the only one in the room who was tidying up. Lin Mengya took out the cloth wrapped in the thing from the bedside.
This material was delicate and soft to the touch. It didn't feel like cotton, nor did it feel like leather. But it was very flexible, which she had never seen before.
After turning it back and forth several times, she finally found an embroidered plum blossom in the lower right corner.
Because of the passage of time, the color of the flower was not very clear. It was gray and couldn't be recognized.
In fact, there was nothing special about it, but she felt that it was a little familiar.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Baizhi came in curiously and asked softly. Her eyes fell on the cloth in her master's hands.
"Eh? Is this also Madam's relic? This plum blossom looks like the one on your waist! "
Lin Mengya was stunned by Baizhi's words.
When did she have a plum blossom mark on her waist?
Baizhi took the cloth from Lin Mengya's hand, looked at it carefully, and said with certainty.
"Yes, this is the plum blossom mark on your waist. I remember clearly that the left petal of the plum blossom is longer than the others. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell. I remember that when we were young, we always slept together. I remember it clearly. That's what it looks like. "
Lin Mengya tried hard to search for such a thing in her memory. It seemed that she just remembered such a thing in a very distant memory.
After instructing Baizhi to close the door and windows, Lin Mengya took off her clothes neatly.
Standing in front of the mirror, she carefully examined her body for the first time.
Her snow-white skin was as white as cream. Gradually, she was no longer as young as a girl.
Lin Mengya turned around. In the mirror, which was taller than a person, she tried hard to see the blood-red plum blossom mark on her slender waist.
She observed it carefully and looked at the pattern on the cloth.
Strange, it was the same one!
"Baizhi, is Miss Lin here? My god, it's so cold. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
