Lin Mengya bent down to pick up the chess pieces that had fallen to the ground one by one.
Long Tianhao fixed his eyes on her, but he already knew what she was thinking.
"You provoked him on purpose, didn't you?"
Long Tianhao took the chess pieces from her hands with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"That's right. I just want to know why he is so against you."
Although Lin Mengya was unhappy that Long Tianhao had been rebuked, she gradually realized that Liu Xuan was not only against Long Tianhao.
It seemed that he had a deep hatred for the royal family of Dajin.
Today, she merely wanted to force Liu Xuan to a certain extent, and then see if she could find any clues or clues.
In the end, Liu Xuan only said some ambiguous words.
However, there was one thing that Lin Mengya was sure of. Based on Liu Xuan's speculation,
Perhaps he had been cheated of his money and sex by the Long Family.
After picking up the chess pieces, Lin Mengya suddenly became curious about gossip and started probing.
Long Tianhao could not tell what was going on in his dark eyes, but he was staring at Long Tianhao. Even Long Tianhao felt a little creeped out.
What on earth was this lass thinking about?
"Prince Yu, are there any princesses between the ages of 18 and 25 in the royal family who did not behave themselves and wandered around outside for a period of time?"
Looking at Lin Mengya's bright eyes, Long Tianhao thought hard and shook his head slowly.
"That's strange. If he had not been cheated of his money and sex by the Long Family's girl, how could he have said those words? I must dig out some information from Cousin Yu when I have time in the future. "
Gossip was a great force that could push people forward.
Since Lin Mengya had made up her mind to get to the bottom of Liu Xuan's sad story, whenever she was free, she would stare at Liu Xuan with her probing and affectionate eyes.
As long as Liu Xuan turned around and smiled at her shyly, Lin Mengya would give him a creepy smile.
Even Long Tianhao, who loved to be jealous, was glad that he was not the one being stared at.
Instead, she stood by the side with Zuo Qiuyu to watch the show.
The sun was shining brightly. Lin Mengya held her hand gracefully and placed her head on the window of the car.
She looked very charming, but —
"Lord Liu, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Would you like to come in for a cup of tea? "
Lin Mengya's smile was sweet and her voice was crisp and clear.
However, Liu Xuan felt a chill run down his spine from his neck.
He quickly shook his head. Ever since she left the small town, she had been looking at him like this.
"Are you misunderstanding me? Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions towards you. However, I feel that there must have been some misunderstanding between us. So, I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you now. What do you think? "
No matter how Lin Mengya tried to coax him, Liu Xuan kept a respectful distance from her.
Unfortunately, he had two god-like teammates with him. They always pushed the responsibility of dealing with Lin Mengya to Lin Mengya.
When Liu Xuan saw Lin Mengya's composed look, he wished he had more legs so that he could run as far away as possible.
"Sigh, how boring. I was wondering how bold he would be. Now, he's admitting defeat! "
They walked very fast. According to Cousin Yu, they would reach the outer city of the old capital by dusk.
The old capital was made up of two parts, the outer city and the inner city. There were a total of eight city gates in a radial shape.
However, the inner city, where the palace and the headquarters of the Pavilion of Herbs were located, was a strategic area that could be defended or attacked.
But now, Cousin Chen had moved the capital. The old palace was guarded by some members of the royal family. As for the royal gardens, they were under the control of the Pavilion of Herbs.
Lin Mengya was slightly stunned when she heard Zuo Qiuyu's words.
He really didn't know whether the person in charge of the Pavilion of Herbs should say that he was bold and reckless or that he was blinded by greed.
Even if the emperor didn't want the royal gardens, it wouldn't be given to others easily.
Perhaps it was just as Cousin Chen had guessed. After years of living like a prince, the people in the Pavilion of Herbs had developed some ideas that they shouldn't have.
It was hot at noon.
Lin Mengya got out of the carriage and found a small tea stall to sit down and enjoy the cool air.
Liu Xuan naturally hid far away from her in the name of finding out what was going on.
Lin Mengya felt like laughing when she saw Lord Liu's evasive behavior.
This guy was so overbearing a few days ago. Where did he hide it all this time?
"Little cousin, no one who is targeted by you will have a good ending. Sigh, it's all thanks to my brother-in-law's kindness that he took you in. Otherwise, no one would be able to subdue a devil like you. "
Zuo Qiuyu shook his head and sighed.
Of course, he only received a disdainful look from the husband and wife.
Long Tianhao had long been subdued by Lin Mengya. Now, the two of them could be said to be in the same boat.
"Drink some water."
A cup of clear, warm water was placed in front of Lin Mengya.
Long Tianhao knew that Lin Mengya didn't like bitter tea, but since Baishao was injured, she was the one who kept the good tea.
Now, Lin Mengya could only drink a cup of water to quench her thirst.
"Hmm, don't you think there's something wrong with us arriving at the old capital so smoothly?"
Lin Mengya took the cup of water from Long Tianhao's hand and took a small sip.
Now that they were getting closer to the old capital, Lin Mengya tried to follow the clues and found that although they had encountered some trouble in Sky Dragon Mansion.
However, there were no other difficulties along the way.
Of course, this was compared to the previous perilous difficulties.
"We still have to be careful. I also find it strange. However, we saw many people following us along the way. But they were following us from afar and refused to go forward. "
Long Tianhao was extremely sensitive. Although he stayed by Lin Mengya's side every day to protect her. Although he had been protecting Lin Mengya every day, the surrounding situation could not escape from his grasp.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Mengya also felt that something was strange and could not help but worry.
What she didn't know was that the reason why those forces refused to go forward was because they couldn't figure out whether the other party was a friend or a foe.
It was under this strange balance that Lin Mengya and her companions could arrive at the old capital safely.
Otherwise, they would have encountered many dangers along the way.
As the saying went, "When there are too many lice, one is not afraid of being bitten, and when there are too many debts, one does not need to worry." Perhaps this was the meaning of the saying.
After having enough rest, the group continued on their way.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before the towering city walls gradually appeared in everyone's sight.
The air was filled with the faint fragrance of herbs. Not to mention Lin Mengya's sense of smell which was comparable to a dog's nose, even an ordinary person would be able to detect it.
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
If one lived here for a long period of time in the air that was full of the influence of various elixirs, some minor illnesses would be cured without any treatment.
This was also the reason why the capital of the Nation of Lintian had never been ravaged by a plague since the establishment of the capital hundreds of years ago.
Lin Mengya also understood that it was no wonder that some people who refused to move out of the old capital were the old members of the royal family.
This was a natural holy land for retirement, where sickness could be cured and health could be strengthened.
Without hundreds of years of hard work, it would be impossible to achieve this level.
They could build a nursing home here, but Cousin Chen intended to move the Pavilion of Herbs to the new capital as well.
Tsk, this was really a troublesome project.
Although there were eight city gates, in fact, only two of them were usually open.
The other six city gates would only be temporarily opened on special occasions.
Now there were so many visitors that there was already a long queue when they arrived at the city gates.
There were so many people here that Lin Mengya naturally didn't need to get out of the car.
However, there were many people here, so it was naturally noisy.
Their group was conspicuous, so it didn't take long for someone to recognize Prince Shen and County Chief Liu.
Although it was inevitable to be polite, Lin Mengya was glad that she was not the one who put on a fake smile and talked to them in a roundabout way.
"Since Prince Shen is here, the person in the carriage must be Princess Anle, right? I've heard that Princess Anle is an outstanding beauty. Why doesn't Prince Shen invite her out so that we can broaden our horizons? "
A cold look was cast on the man who was dressed like a butterfly.
However, this man was slow and did not notice a handsome man whose face had darkened.
"This … I'm afraid it's inconvenient. My cousin doesn't like crowds. Moreover, she's young and doesn't know how to speak, in case she offends you. "
Although Zuo Qiuyu appeared to be easy to talk to, he was extremely annoyed in his heart.
He stole a glance at Long Tianyu and found that he was accumulating anger, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Master Zhu, I heard that your father is also here this time?"
The man who was addressed as Master Zhu really lived up to his name.
His black bean-like eyes narrowed into a line, and then he said proudly.
"That's only natural. Our Zhu Family might have a big shot this time. If it's really successful, please take care of us in the future, Brother Zuo. "
Zuo Qiuyu's veins twitched when he heard these words.
He was merely the son of an assistant minister, but now he was dreaming of rising to the top through the Pavilion of Herbs. He even addressed him as a brother.
Although he was angry, he could not lose his temper now.
All these did not escape Lin Mengya's ears.
Her face turned cold. "These people are really courting death!"
She rolled her eyes and came up with a good idea.
After tidying up her clothes, she gently opened the window with her lily-white hands.
