Long Tianhao and Zuo Qiuchen put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and looked at each other tacitly.
Gui Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them were not having a meal. It was as if they were fighting.
He was really afraid that the two nobles would fight over a piece of roasted goose. However. The two of them seemed to have reached an agreement that neither of them would reach for the same thing on the plate at the same time.
They didn't know that they were testing each other. They didn't expect that they would come up with a gentleman's agreement during a meal.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
Long Tianhao's expression relaxed a little. No matter what Zuo Qiuchen's purpose was, he hadn't found any clues so far.
Moreover, Zuo Qiuchen had tried his best to save Lin Mengya.
From this point, he could temporarily let his guard down.
"You're welcome. Anyway, we're a family. By the way, why have you come to the Heavenly Kingdom this time? Can you tell me? "
As an emperor, it was rare for Zuo Qiuchen to treat Long Tianhao like this, whether it was out of sincerity or for other purposes.
Long Tianhao thought for a while and finally decided to tell Zuo Qiuchen the truth.
"It turns out to be for the Prancing Dragon Herb. If my father was still here, it wouldn't be difficult, but now …"
Zuo Qiuchen frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the first thing his cousin sister did when she came back was to get the national treasure Prancing Dragon Herb.
"This concerns the safety of Dajin. If Your Majesty is willing to give us the herb, I'll be grateful. "
The world knew that the Prancing Dragon Herb was the national treasure of Lintian.
Therefore, Long Tianhao could only plead with him sincerely.
"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but … forget it. Since you want it, it can't be considered as giving it to an outsider. I'll get the herb for you as soon as possible. To be on the safe side, I'll ask someone to bring it to the capital of Dajin privately. You and Mengya should stay here first. After all, such a big thing happened and those eyes are watching you. "
Long Tianhao didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
She had thought that Zuo Qiuchen would raise some conditions, but she did not expect that he would agree to it so readily.
Long Tianhao could not help but change his opinion of Zuo Qiuchen.
It did not matter whether Zuo Qiuchen wanted to do him a favor or if he wanted to be on good terms with Dajin.
In short, with such a forthright personality, it was not to the extent that people would find him annoying.
Long Tianhao could not help but admire Zuo Qiuchen in his heart as he watched Zuo Qiuchen leave the prince's mansion in a hurry with his servants.
If this person wanted to befriend someone, he would definitely succeed in every endeavor. It was no wonder that the hearts of the people of the Nation of Lintian were firmly controlled by him.
This kind of strategy and calculation was definitely not that of an ordinary person!
Although it was late at night, the entire Prince Shen's Mansion was still brightly lit.
All the medicinal herbs and tonics in the imperial palace were transported to Prince Shen's Mansion like flowing water.
However, only a small portion of them entered Prince Shen's room. Most of them ended up in the room of this unknown Princess Anle.
Now, the emperor's favor toward Princess Anle had reached its peak.
Moreover, they would send someone to check on him every four hours. On the way from the imperial palace to Prince Shen's Mansion, the candles were lit up with wax, which was about an inch thick.
Almost overnight, the people in Wangtian City knew about the existence of Princess Anle, whom the emperor doted on.
Overnight, Princess Anle also became the target of envy in the streets and alleys.
Of course, Long Tianhao, who was in Prince Shen's Mansion, knew nothing about all this.
He looked at Lin Mengya worriedly and made sure that her condition was stable. However, Long Tianhao was strolling in Prince Shen's Mansion alone.
The maids and servants who came and went knew that this prince had an extraordinary status, but he did not like to talk to people.
Therefore, after bowing, they went to do their own things.
Prince Shen's Mansion was not big, but because all the people were gathered in the main courtyard. It was quiet in the backyard.
Long Tianhao walked into a secluded area, keeping his eyes and ears open. He did not stop until he came to an elegant small courtyard and made sure that there were no outsiders around.
"Your Highness, please punish me for my negligence!"
The secret guard, Ling Ye, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared behind Long Tianhao. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.
What came in front of him was a kick to the heart.
In an instant, Ling Ye flew out. With a "bang", he hit the wall.
Although this kick was heavy, Ling Ye did not make a sound. However, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
But Long Tianyu was merciful to him by not killing him.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you arrange those people? Why are there traitors? "
Long Tianhao had a fierce look on his face, but his deep and dark eyes were emitting an extremely cold aura.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Dark Guard in front of him was his trusted aide since he was young, the one lying on the ground would be a cold corpse.
"It's my negligence that caused the princess to be injured. Your Highness, please punish me."
Ghost Face and his men were indeed arranged by Long Tianhao.
Including the rain of arrows, it was also a trick to make Lin Mengya hand over the music score for the green stringed instrument.
Otherwise, Ghost Face would not be so obedient. He immediately agreed to Lin Mengya's condition and let them go.
Who would have thought that something unexpected would happen to the plan?
The man in black who suddenly appeared not only destroyed their plan, but also caused Lin Mengya to be seriously injured. It was unforgivable that he had made Lin Mengya suffer such a serious injury!
"Of course you deserve to die. But now, I want you to immediately find out who did it. Once you get a clue, kill them all. "
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Ling Ye struggled to get up from the ground. There was no emotion on his pale face. For him, the meaning of living was to carry out all the orders of the prince.
"Go back and tell him that I've done what he asked me to do. But from today onwards, don't do anything against Lin Mengya. Even if it's him, I won't allow it! "
Long Tianhao's words were loud and clear. Ling Ye turned around and disappeared into the night.
After a long time, Long Tianhao sighed.
He could lie to everyone in the world, but he would never lie to Lin Mengya.
But this time, he had to do it.
In the future, he would use the rest of his life to slowly make it up to her.
For the first time, he hated the fact that he was born into the royal family. But if he was not Long Tianhao, he would not be able to have her.
Such tangled thoughts, but he just hid them in the bottom of his heart, a person quietly sad.
He believed that Zuo Qiuchen would not lie to him about the Prancing Dragon Herb. But he had a feeling that Zuo Qiuchen must have his reasons for doing so.
But no matter what, at least for now, he could save Lin Mengya's life.
No matter when Lin Mengya woke up, he would wait by her side and would not leave her side again.
As the days went by, Zuo Qiuyu's body recovered well. Those elixirs were used as if they were free. Zuo Qiuyu, who had an extraordinary physique, was soon able to get out of bed and move around.
In this aspect, he was much better than Lin Mengya.
The waiting was indeed worrying. Zuo Qiuchen ran here almost as soon as the court session ended.
As long as he came, Zuo Qiuyu, who was originally the master of this mansion, became a pitiful child that no one cared about.
Fortunately, since Zuo Qiuyu had made it clear that he was Lin Mengya's cousin, it was reasonable for him to be concerned about his little cousin.
Apart from the princes and princes who were kept outside by Zuo Qiuchen's order, he became the only person from the royal family of the Nation of Lintian who could stay by Lin Mengya's bedside.
However, seeing that Lin Mengya's condition was still the same, as a physician, he could not help but feel anxious.
"Little cousin, you've been sleeping for so long. Wake up and take a look, will you? Do you know that there are so many boys in the Zuo family, but no girls? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Since you're here, shouldn't you open your eyes and take a look at us, your cousins? "
Zuo Qiuyu had been nagging by Lin Mengya's bedside for the umpteenth time.
It had only been a few days, but Long Tianhao had lost a lot of weight. The green stubble on his sharpened chin made him look extremely haggard.
These days, apart from eating and sleeping, he had been staying by Lin Mengya's side. He had been taking care of Lin Mengya's every need.
Other than that, he would sit by her bedside, holding her hand, and sit there in a daze for the whole day.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you disturb my cousin's rest, I'll be the first to remove you from your position as the prince. What did you promise me when you left? Now that Lin Mengya has become like this, how are you still alive? "
Zuo Qiuchen said coldly and impatiently. Towards his only twin brother, Zuo Qiuchen's tone was always full of sarcasm.
However, Zuo Qiuyu was not angry at all. He was so angry that he would reply to him. After that, he would lie by the bed and keep nagging at Lin Mengya to wake up soon.
Long Tianhao did not want to be disturbed by the pair of brothers. He just sat there and looked at Lin Mengya.
All of a sudden, he seemed to have seen the fingers on her left hand move a little.
Long Tianhao rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen wrongly.
To his surprise, the left hand that was gently holding his hand moved again.
"Stop arguing! She moved! "
An angry roar instantly silenced the room.
Everyone's eyes were nervously fixed on the girl lying on the bed.
"Mengya, Mengya, are you awake?"
Long Tianhao called out softly with a cautious excitement and anticipation.
Her left hand moved again. This time, everyone could see it clearly.
