Lin Mengya did not want to alarm anyone, so she helped Ling Ye back to her room.
It was only when the light was turned on that she realized how seriously injured Ling Ye was.
His clothes were torn and tattered, full of cuts from sharp weapons.
Moreover, with a cursory examination, she knew that many of the sharp weapons that had injured him were poisoned.
Fortunately, she had given Long Tianhao and Ling Ye a few pills that could cure all kinds of poisons. Otherwise, Ling Ye would have died on the spot.
"We met up with the men brought by the prince outside the city. Who would have expected that someone would rush up to us the moment they left. Although the guards around His Highness tried their best to resist, in the end, His Highness was no match for them and was captured. I was ordered by His Highness to use the Turtle Breathing Technique to avoid their interrogation. "
Lin Mengya fed Ling Ye with a few more pills and his condition improved a little.
Lin Mengya was informed that Long Tianhao had been abducted.
"Is the prince not injured?"
Although Lin Mengya was sitting there, her vision was blacking out.
Her breathing was a little hurried as she stared at the heavily injured Ling Ye.
"No, they didn't dare to hurt the prince."
Ling Ye shook his head and said.
Lin Mengya clenched her fists tightly. Although she looked calm on the surface, her stiff body betrayed her nervousness.
She desperately told herself that she could not be impatient or flustered. She had to stay calm, otherwise Long Tianhao might be in danger.
"Based on what you said, they only wanted to abduct the prince quietly? Is there really no one else who survived except for you? "
Ling Ye thought about it carefully and shook his head in the end.
The reason why he survived was that he had used the Turtle Breathing Technique. Secondly, his body was covered with wounds and he was deeply poisoned.
Others would not have been as lucky as him.
"Damn it!"
Lin Mengya cursed in a low voice. She should have expected that there would be spies among the men arranged by Li Yuan.
Long Tianhao's every move must have fallen into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives.
However, she still could not figure out why those people wanted to abduct Long Tianhao quietly.
"Princess, His Highness is in danger. Please make a decision immediately!"
Ling Ye propped up his exhausted body, and his tone finally became a little anxious.
Long Tianhao was of great importance, even though Lin Mengya was almost at a loss now. However, she still tried her best to suppress her emotions.
However, her slender fingers had already crumpled Lin Mengya's clothes.
"Stay here and recuperate. Don't let anyone discover your existence. As for Long Tianhao, I'll think of something. "
Although Ling Ye was anxious, his only hope now was the princess.
After enduring for a while, he finally couldn't hold on any longer. His eyes rolled back and he instantly fainted.
Even though the bed had been dyed red by Ling Ye's blood, it was still filled with blood.
But Lin Mengya was not in the mood to tidy up. She wanted to fly to Long Tianhao's side immediately.
However, reality forced her to tend to Ling Ye's wounds.
In this way, the men brought by Long Tianhao would have been completely annihilated. Because of Li Yuan, Zuo Qiuyu was in a tight spot.
Lin Mengya could only rely on herself now.
With a sigh, Lin Mengya got up and used her good hand to tend to Ling Ye's wounds. Ling Ye's eyes had rolled back and he didn't know what year it was. However, if she didn't do anything about it, even if he bled, it would eventually dry up.
Ling Ye's eyes were tightly shut. His face, which was usually covered with a veil, looked ordinary and extremely pale.
Lin Mengya had inadvertently discovered a secret. Ling Ye's face seemed to be fake.
She reached out her hand and tentatively tugged on a small wound on Ling Ye's face.
A human skin mask, as thin as a cicada's wing, slowly surged out from that face like ripples on water.
Lin Mengya gasped when she saw the equally pale face behind the mask.
How could this be …
His long and narrow eyes and long eyelashes cast a small shadow in the light.
Lin Mengya was in a trance when she saw his thin lips, which were almost colorless, under the high bridge of his nose.
Ling Ye, who had removed his mask, looked 80% similar to Long Tianhao.
Lin Mengya would never mistake her husband for someone else.
However, if it was someone who didn't know Long Tianhao well. She would definitely mistake him for someone else!
However, compared to Long Tianhao's cool and handsome face, Ling Ye's face was not as cold and emotionless as Long Tianhao's, nor was it as chiseled as Long Tianhao's.
Lin Mengya was stunned when she saw Ling Ye's face.
However, she still gently untied Ling Ye's shirt and looked at the bloodstains on his fair skin. Due to the effect of the poison, the bloodstains had turned dark red.
Lin Mengya had no other choice but to take the medicine and apply it on his wounds.
Fortunately, they were only superficial wounds and his muscles and bones weren't injured. Otherwise, it would be a little tricky.
Lin Mengya casually bandaged the wounds, but she had to use her hands and mouth at the same time.
Not to mention that she was half-dead from exhaustion, by the time she was done, the sky was already bright.
Lin Mengya was panting and there was a thin layer of perspiration on her forehead.
In the courtyard, the maidservants who came to clean and serve Lin Mengya had been fooled by Lin Mengya.
She sat on the chair and pretended to sleep with her eyes closed. However, she would immediately wake up at the slightest movement.
Finally, not long after, there was some movement on the bed.
Lin Mengya's eyes were red from staying up all night as she observed the movements of the person on the bed.
"Urgh …"
A low groan of pain could be heard from the bed. The medicine developed by her teacher for external injuries could make a person hover between life and death.
However, its effect was not comparable to that of ordinary medicine.
Especially for this kind of heavily poisoned wound, it definitely had a miraculous effect.
At the same time, the pain was so excruciating that even a tough man like Ling Ye could not help but make a sound.
"Don't move. Tell me what you want. It's not easy for your wound to stop bleeding. Don't open it up again. "
Ling Ye felt a piercing pain all over his body. However, a gentle voice stopped him from moving.
He subconsciously touched his face, but the unusual touch made him panic for a moment.
However, it was only for a moment.
"I can understand. Many high-ranking officials would look for someone who was exactly like them to train. Firstly, they could use him as a substitute. Secondly, it would save them a lot of trouble. "
Lin Mengya took the initiative to speak, which made the little awkwardness disappear.
However, looking at his real face, Lin Mengya could understand why Qinghu had always called him the Poker Face Ghost.
He always wore a human skin mask, so it would be strange if he did not have a poker face.
"Your Highness, the Pavilion of Herbs' Elders has sent you and the prince a set of ceremonial attire for the ceremony. Please try it on. If it doesn't suit you, I can get someone to change it. "
Yu An's voice was heard outside the door respectfully.
Lin Mengya frowned. She suddenly remembered that Long Tianhao was going to attend the preliminaries of the medical skills competition with her.
However, she did not even know who the other party was. Unless they released Long Tianhao, they would not be able to make it in time.
Lin Mengya's eyes suddenly fell on Ling Ye.
She sighed faintly. It seemed that she had no choice but to use the method of stealing the beam and replacing the pillar.
"Bring it in. The prince hasn't gotten up yet. Just leave it at the door."
Ling Ye raised his head and cast a puzzled look at the princess.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and an unnatural expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, Lin Mengya had returned to the bedroom with the two sets of clothes.
The ceremonial attire of the Nation of Lintian was different from that of the Jin State. It was made of fine white muslin, and the collar and cuffs were embroidered with golden auspicious clouds.
Apart from being dignified, it added a sense of elegance and elegance.
"Help me try it on. Long Tianhao should be slightly stronger than you, but he can still be changed."
Lin Mengya took out the men's ceremonial attire and placed it in front of Ling Ye.
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Your Highness. What you should be thinking about now is how to rescue the prince. You shouldn't be asking me to replace the prince. "
Lin Mengya sighed and looked at the ceremonial attire helplessly.
"Do you think I'm not anxious? Think about it, there were people who wanted to lay their hands on me in the Crown Prince's Mansion. You were ambushed when you were outside. Moreover, His Highness had been kidnapped without a sound. Is this really just a coincidence? "
Lin Mengya was very meticulous. She could figure out the key points of some things by thinking it over.
The kidnapping of her and Long Tianhao happened almost at the same time.
Once they connected the dots, the purpose of the other party seemed to be vaguely revealed.
"Your Highness, you mean …"
"Someone wants to make use of our identities. I think it's not as simple as being a marionette. They must have some means in their hands. If Long Tianhao and I were to fall into their hands, we would have no choice but to obey them. If Long Tianhao and I turned against each other at this moment. Then think about it, what is the ultimate purpose of the other party? "
Ling Ye's mind raced and he immediately understood what the princess meant.
"It's — the position of the Chief Elder of the Pavilion of Herbs!"
Lin Mengya nodded. In fact, her thoughts were much more serious than this.
But now she had no concrete evidence, so she could only keep this speculation in her heart for the time being.
"I understand now."
Ling Ye took the ceremonial attire from Lin Mengya's hands and drew down the gauze curtain expressionlessly. Lin Mengya pushed the door open and walked out.
The morning air was so fresh that it made one feel refreshed.
Ever since she came to the old capital, her physical condition seemed to have improved a lot.
She walked leisurely to a stone bench in the bamboo forest and sat down. She only dared to release the accumulated vulnerability in her heart when no one was looking.
Long Tianhao, where on earth are you?
Unknowingly, the tears in her eyes slid down her cheeks.
