"I won't force you. Cousin Chen had already decided on the candidates before he came. This time, when everything is over, you can choose to return to Dajin with us. At least there, no one will force you to take responsibility. "
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and looked indifferent, as if she did not care whether Zuo Qiuyu would agree or not.
However, the more she said, the more upset Zuo Qiuyu felt.
A heavy sense of guilt almost crushed him.
After struggling for a long time, he sighed painfully and said,
"I'll go."
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at Zuo Qiuyu with a look of surprise in her eyes.
"What?"
Zuo Qiuyu had made up his mind. He did not want to shirk away from his responsibilities anymore.
"I said I'll participate in the medical skills competition. Also, please help me. You must win. Only in this way, my brother, the emperor, will not have any worries. "
Lin Mengya lowered her head and hid her smile, so that Zuo Qiuyu did not notice the triumph in her eyes.
"You have to think this through. Once we're involved in this storm, Long Tianyu and I can leave at any time. However, once you win, not to mention the Nation of Lintian. Even if you walk out of the old capital, it will become a big deal. From then on, your days of leisure will be over. Instead, you'll be living a boring and boring life. Are you really ready? "
Although he knew that Lin Mengya was telling the truth.
Zuo Qiuyu was determined to participate in the competition.
Seeing him like this, Lin Mengya finally felt relieved.
"But, but I heard that it's a little late to register. What should I do? Sigh, it's all my fault. If I had thought it through earlier, I wouldn't have … "
Zuo Qiuyu was a little vexed. He just remembered that he needed to register to participate in the competition.
"Oh, it's alright. Cousin Chen has already pulled some strings. I think it's not difficult for an emperor to get someone in. "
Lin Mengya hid the smile at the corner of her mouth with the teacup. In fact, from the day they entered the old capital, Lin Mengya had secretly asked Liu Xuan to use Zuo Qiuyu's seal to register for the competition.
Poor Zuo Qiuyu. He had no idea that he had already been plotted against by those two people.
"Your Highness, I've received word from the people outside that the tailing men have entered the city."
Yu An suddenly came to report, but to Lin Mengya, he brought a piece of bad news.
They came so fast, even earlier than Long Tianhao had expected.
However, since he had already come to seek refuge with her, she couldn't let him not see him, right?
"Alright, I got it. Oh yes, do you know if there are any gambling houses in the old capital? "
Lin Mengya's words made the two people in the room feel a little strange.
Gambling den? This was not Lin Mengya's usual hobby.
"There are, but there are too many new faces in the old capital these days. Therefore, at this moment, no matter which casino it was, it was already filled to the brim. Your Highness is a precious princess. I'm afraid that place is not safe. "
Yu An cautiously tried to dissuade Lin Mengya. Before they came here, His Majesty had repeatedly instructed him to serve the princess well.
Gambling houses were a mix of crooks and honest people. If the princess went there, she would surely stir up some waves.
"Don't worry, I'll just change into men's clothes. Wait for me. Let's go out and have some fun later. "
After she finished speaking, Lin Mengya returned to her room to change into men's clothes.
Only Yu An and Zuo Qiuyu were left behind helplessly looking at each other.
If anything were to happen, the two of them would be sinners for all eternity.
However, when they saw Lin Mengya, who had changed into men's clothes, looking very excited, they could only follow behind her quietly and act as her bodyguards.
After leaving the Crown Prince's Mansion, they had just turned two streets when the number of people on the streets gradually increased.
The places where they stayed were mostly the mansions of high officials and dignitaries. Ordinary people would not go there.
On the other hand, gambling houses and taverns were the busiest streets in the old capital.
If not for Yu An and Zuo Qiuyu protecting Lin Mengya from both sides, she would not have been able to move a single step. Perhaps she would not have been able to move an inch at this moment.
"Why are there so many people? It seems that the medical skills competition is extremely important to the people of the Nation of Lintian. "
Lin Mengya muttered softly. It was the first time in her life that she had seen such a bustling scene on the streets.
It was comparable to the spring outing organized by the university during the long vacation.
How was this going to see a scenic spot? It was simply going to see a human head. If one had trypophobia, he or she would be depressed to death.
"Yes, you're right, young master. The people of the Nation of Lintian take part in the medical skills competition as an honor. However, young master, let's go back. There are too many people here and it's not safe. "
Yu An stretched out his hand to stop the people who were swarming toward Lin Mengya as he pleaded with this living ancestor.
However, Lin Mengya, who had sharp eyes, spotted the gambling house hidden in the depths of the alley from afar.
She instructed her two generals, Heng and Ha, and the three of them relied on brute force to move forward. In the shortest time possible, they managed to go against the crowd and squeeze their way to the entrance of the gambling house.
"This is the place. Let's go in and have a look."
The words "Hengyun Gambling House" were printed on the wide door, which looked different from other gambling houses.
The dark blue curtain blocked the probing gazes of the people outside.
Lin Mengya looked at the gambling house from top to bottom and decided that this was the place.
This gambling house was considered the largest one in the area.
Moreover, Lin Mengya noticed that most of the people who came and went were dressed in luxurious clothes.
Under normal circumstances, these people would be from wealthy families.
She wasn't too interested in winning that hard-earned money. If she wanted to win, she would have to bet big.
Lin Mengya entered the gambling house. The moment she entered, she could hear the shouts of people who were betting on winning and losing money.
Sure enough, this shop's business was booming. They played Sieve Cards and Bridge Cards, and gambled on one's skills and luck.
Just like other gambling houses, there were people who were beaming with joy, while there were also people who were frowning so much that they could squeeze a mosquito to death.
Lin Mengya looked left and right curiously, while the two men followed closely behind her without looking sideways.
The three of them were dressed in a low-key manner. However, this gambling house did not look like other places. To be able to survive here, one had to have a pair of discerning eyes.
Soon, a pair of shrewd eyes fixed on the three of them.
Lin Mengya was standing curiously by a table, staring at the dice cup.
"It's open! It's open! It's open! One, two, four small! "
People were buying all kinds of dice, but obviously, more people were buying the big ones.
At this moment, those people could only watch helplessly as the money that belonged to them just a moment ago was now in someone else's pocket.
However, Lin Mengya's face showed that she did not look surprised at all.
He did not seem surprised at all, as if he had already expected such an outcome.
"It seems that this young master has a well-thought-out plan. Why don't you come down and play with the other young masters?"
A crisp but polite female voice rang out from behind Lin Mengya.
She turned her head and saw an extremely elegant face.
The person was about 30 years old and was wearing a plain white cotton dress. She wore a simple silver hairpin on her head. She had willow-like eyebrows, long and narrow eyes, and a smile at the corner of her mouth.
She looked very ordinary, but in this place, she looked more calm and composed.
Although she was a woman, the people in the gambling house seemed to respect her very much.
Even the dealer at the table where she was sitting nodded to her respectfully.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and understood. If this person was not the boss of the gambling house, she must be a big shot.
"Madam, you must be joking. I just came from a remote place and it was not easy for me to come here. It wasn't easy for me to come here. I'm just here to see the world. "
Lin Mengya treated her politely. After all, a person who could establish a foothold in the largest gambling house must not be a simple person.
"You're so humble, young master. It's not easy to be outside and everyone is just trying to have fun. The first time I met you, I felt that I was fated to meet you. There are many people here, and for a person like you, you should be careful not to be tainted by the foul air. Why don't you follow me to the back hall? It's quiet and fun there, not as crazy as the one in front. What do you think, young master? "
Lin Mengya was a little wary, but when she glanced over, she saw a few familiar figures entering the door.
Lin Mengya could not care less and immediately said with a smile,
"That's exactly what I'm looking for. Please lead the way, Madam."
The woman smiled and led the three of them to the back hall.
The tailing men who had just discovered their target were blocked by a few burly men at the door.
After entering the back hall, Lin Mengya was sure that she had gotten rid of those tailing men and heaved a sigh of relief.
She did not expect those tailing men to be even bolder when they arrived at the old capital.
In the past, they only dared to follow her from afar.
Now, she didn't know if it was because he was cornered or because he had nothing to fear, but he actually followed her all the way to the gambling house.
Nevertheless, it did not mean that she was a hundred percent safe.
Looking around, she had thought that the woman was going to bring her to a more secretive gambling house.
Little did she expect that the woman would lead them all the way to the back courtyard of the gambling house.
Compared to the noisy front courtyard, the back courtyard was much quieter, although it was not as exquisite.
"Please take a seat, young master. Min 'er will serve you some tea."
The square-shaped courtyard was clean and tidy.
The woman said politely as she led the three of them to a stone table and chairs in the middle of the courtyard.
Lin Mengya exchanged glances with the other two and could only suppress her thoughts for the time being. She wanted to see what this woman was up to.
