It must be because Zuo Qiuyu had told him everything about the situation in Wangtian City last night.
For this reason, Liu Xuan treated Lin Mengya with respect and a sense of closeness.
However, there was a hint of vigilance in his shrewd eyes.
Lin Mengya understood that this person was a character.
The servants served tea to the two of them. Lin Mengya and Liu Xuan tasted the tea tacitly and looked at each other without saying a word.
"My good-for-nothing cousin didn't give you any trouble yesterday, did he?"
Lin Mengya spoke elegantly. Her tone was not arrogant like other aristocratic ladies. There was a hint of gentleness in her voice, but at the same time, there was a maturity that did not belong to a young girl.
A complicated look flashed across Liu Xuan's eyes.
Last night, under his coercion and temptation, Zuo Qiuyu had revealed everything about Lin Mengya.
Originally, he thought that the reason why this woman was so daring was that she relied on the favor of her father and brother and the power of her husband's family.
However, now it seemed that this woman's every move showed a calmness that ordinary women did not have.
For this reason, Liu Xuan's impression of her had changed little by little.
"Not at all. Prince Shen and I have a close personal relationship. It was just a meeting between old friends, and I was too excited. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
He did not mention the rules of the imperial court and only talked about their relationship as friends. This could be considered as a friendly gesture.
"It's my cousin who is naughty and mischievous and gave you trouble."
Lin Mengya was not a person who could be easily fooled. Since the other party was being polite, she played along with Liu Xuan's words and was not anxious at all.
After talking for a while, Liu Xuan found that Lin Mengya did not reveal any flaws. He had tested her for a long time, but she did not show any signs of anxiety.
He could not help but be more curious about this woman and less vigilant.
"I heard that you went to the Pavilion of Herbs this time to seek medical treatment. This is new. Given the power of the Lin family and Princess Yu, there is no famous doctor in this world that you can't get. "
Liu Xuan felt a cold glare on Long Tianhao. Liu Xuan knew that Long Tianhao was not easy to deal with.
He was definitely not one of those princes who looked strong on the outside but were actually weak on the inside.
Such a person was willing to follow Princess Anle and Prince Shen to the old capital. Obviously, it was not as simple as seeking medical advice.
She looked into Long Tianhao's eyes fearlessly. She even gave him a guilt-free smile. However, Liu Xuan found that both Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao seemed to be more and more mysterious to him.
"Of course, apart from asking for medicine, I also have another purpose. Since you and my two cousins are old friends, then I think you should also know about my mother's matter. This time, I'm going to find my roots. My mother passed away early, and my maternal grandparents didn't know that they had a niece like me. Therefore, I accepted my cousin's invitation to visit my grandfather's family in the old capital. I wonder if Lord Liu is satisfied with this answer? "
Although Lin Mengya was not angry, she rebutted the probing and soft rebuke in Liu Xuan's words.
These men, who thought they were smart, always had a conspiracy theory that the whole world was bad.
Although the matter of the Pavilion of Herbs was important, she and Long Tianhao would not be so stupid as to use it to destroy the situation in the Nation of Lintian.
Moreover, with her cousin's relationship, once the people in the Nation of Lintian were united, it would only benefit Dajin to form an alliance.
Involuntarily, she looked at Long Tianhao, feeling a little sorry in her heart.
If not for her, given Long Tianhao's arrogant character, how could he waste time on such a trivial matter?
The atmosphere became a little awkward.
Even Liu Xuan had not expected that Princess Anle, who had been beating around the bush a moment ago, would suddenly become so straightforward.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He could not help but smile bitterly. No wonder even Zuo Qiuchen told him not to provoke his little cousin unless it was absolutely necessary.
Now it seemed that he was right.
"Since Lord Liu is so worried, you can come along and have a look. I see that the people in Qingyuan Prefecture are orderly, so it's not difficult for Lord Liu to travel for half a month. Lest I, an outsider, destroy the peace and harmony on a whim. Wouldn't that be my fault? "
Lin Mengya's tone was gentle, but it was so sarcastic that Liu Xuan could not help but smile bitterly. And Lin Mengya was sure of this.
She stole a glance at Liu Xuan from the corner of her eye and saw the slight twitch of his eyebrows.
He deserved it. Lin Mengya dared to say that she was the second best at making a scene, but no one dared to say that they were the first.
This time, Liu Xuan had no way to express his bitterness.
He deserved it. Who asked him to call himself a gentleman and not to argue with a woman?
"Haha, Liu Xuan, Lord Liu, I didn't expect you to be refuted. What do you think? Isn't my little cousin extraordinary? Why don't you knock your head on a piece of tofu and die trying to argue with her? That would be more satisfying! "
Zuo Qiuyu, who was watching the battle from the outside, had finally vented his anger.
How could he let go of the opportunity to criticize someone else?
He looked at his good friend teasingly. Liu Xuan must have been put on the spot by Lin Mengya's sarcastic remarks.
Lin Mengya glanced at Zuo Qiuyu, who had deliberately come to smooth things over for Liu Xuan. She snorted coldly to show her respect to Zuo Qiuyu.
However, when she turned around, she blinked her eyes at Long Tianhao. She seemed to be telling him that she was venting his anger on his behalf.
Long Tianhao felt a warmth in his heart. It had been a long time since he had seen such a protective look.
He walked to Lin Mengya from the window and stood on her right side out of habit. He lifted his head and brushed away the stray hair on her forehead.
Zuo Qiuyu was extremely jealous of the couple's inadvertent sweet interaction.
He glanced at Lin Mengya with jealousy and whispered to Liu Xuan,
"I told you not to test them."
Zuo Qiuyu said gloatingly. However, Liu Xuan did not take it seriously.
Instead, after he glanced at the two of them, a deep look flashed in his eyes.
"Since when did the Long Family become so affectionate? Humph, I'll go with you this time. "
Zuo Qiuyu looked at his good friend helplessly. He did not know why Liu Xuan looked so worried the moment he heard that Lin Mengya's husband was Long Tianhao.
Now, he had changed his original plan and insisted on going with them. There must be an unexplainable reason for this.
However, he swallowed the question that was at the tip of his tongue.
This man, who appeared to be pompous, was a stubborn person that even his brother, the emperor, could not do anything about.
Forget it, he would just go with them. One more person meant one more strength.
After resting and reorganizing in Qingyuan Prefecture, the group of people set out on their journey again.
The old capital was right in front of them. However, Lin Mengya felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.
She could not explain why. Perhaps it was because this journey was full of unknowns from the beginning.
Although Liu Xuan was escorting them, she still felt that this trip to the old capital would not be so peaceful.
"What are you thinking about?"
She looked up and saw Liu Xuan's clear and bright side profile.
Lin Mengya shook her head gently. She must have been lying on the window in a daze.
She subconsciously looked for Long Tianhao. However, she was disappointed that she did not see Long Tianhao's usual dark figure in the group.
"Prince Yu and Prince Shen have gone ahead to scout. We're going to pass through a small forest. They are very cautious for your sake. "
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. Lin Mengya was puzzled by Liu Xuan's attitude.
However, on second thought, she understood.
Although Jin State and the Nation of Lintian had become more harmonious in recent years. However, there were still endless disputes in the past.
Some people were still on high alert against Jin State. In addition, Long Tianhao's identity was sensitive. Naturally, he would be hated.
However, Lin Mengya could not help but put in a good word for Long Tianhao.
"He is different. Even if it's for my sake, he will not go against what you are trying to protect. Moreover, he and Cousin Chen are considered friends. He has always been very loyal to his friends. "
Lin Mengya was just explaining casually, but it seemed to have touched a nerve in Liu Xuan.
His elegant and handsome face suddenly froze. Then, there was a hint of impatience in his tone when he spoke to Lin Mengya.
"The Long Family has always been good at winning people's hearts. Although you were born in Dajin and are the daughter of the noble Lin Family. However, if you still have a little respect for your mother, you must be wary of the Long Family. Then beware of the Long Family. Don't be fooled by them at all costs! "
After Liu Xuan finished speaking, he tightened the horse's abdomen and walked forward.
"You …"
Lin Mengya was a little angry. Her good mood had been ruined by this guy.
She wondered if the Long Family had eaten his rice or jumped into a well with his child.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, she had to suppress her anger.
She could only let down the curtain of the carriage. Out of sight, out of mind!
The swaying carriage seemed to be hypnotizing to Lin Mengya.
In addition, it was quiet outside. In the swaying carriage, she fell asleep quietly.
The Shen Nung system was running automatically. Since it had been upgraded, Lin Mengya found that she could control her dreams.
Of course, she could not have all kinds of dreams. However, every time her body entered a state of rest, her consciousness could activate the various functions of the Shen Nung system.
For example, on the surface, she looked like she was sleeping soundly.
But in fact, she was fiddling with the mysterious music score for green stringed instrument in the system.
