"In the end, Father will not give up on his plan. Otherwise, why do you think General Lin would choose to guard the border and even let his beloved daughter be alone in the capital?"
Long Tianhao had never been an indecisive person. Since he wanted to protect Lin Mengya, he had to find a way to satisfy both sides.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince and the Queen were struggling. Even his father was under pressure to protect the position of the Lin family in the army.
"Yes."
Night was not good at trickery. The only thing it could do was to silently guard its own position.
Long Tianhao patted him on the shoulder. He knew that Night was doing this for his own good. However, in the current situation, he had to walk on thin ice.
"From today on, you are no longer my secret guard."
On the way back, Long Tianhao, who was walking in front, suddenly said.
Night, which had been calm for tens of thousands of years, now had a hint of astonishment in its eyes.
What … did he mean?
"When my master brought you here, he said that you would be my closest friend in the world. He let you be my secret guard because it was not the right time. But now, although there are dangers everywhere, it is the best time for us. "
Long Tianhao explained without looking back. Night looked at his master in confusion. His eyes gradually became clear because of Long Tianhao's words.
"Your Highness, you mean …"
"Back then, my master passed on his mantle to you. So now, I need you to go back and inherit everything from my master. "
Standing still, Long Tianhao suddenly turned around and said in a serious tone.
If he wanted to protect Lin Mengya, foil the conspiracy of the Crown Prince and the Queen, and withstand the pressure from his father.
Then, what he needed was the power to control everything.
The imperial court seemed to be powerful, but the power had already been divided.
Even with his layout, he could only get less than one-tenth of the power.
So, he had to make use of everything!
"But my master said that I am your shadow, your shield. Even if I die, I should die under the sharp blade that is shot at you. "
For 15 years, Night had been by Long Tianhao's side since he was a naive child.
Some things had imperceptibly influenced him and had become his way of life.
Protecting Long Tianhao, standing up for him, and obeying his orders seemed to have become his body's automatic response.
But one day, Long Tianyu was going to deny his previous life and let him take over a fate that he had never imagined.
Even someone as strong as Night couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
"That was in the past. Ling Ye, have you really forgotten what Master taught you?"
In fact, Long Tianhao was reluctant to part with them.
When he came back to his senses, he looked seriously at his brother who had gone through thick and thin with him.
Master had indeed allowed Night to stay by his side, but it wasn't just to protect him.
Only by staying by his side could Ling Ye grow up safely.
For so many years, not only had Ling Ye protected him, but he had also protected Ling Ye.
Understood. "
She was used to obeying his orders. Even though his orders had always been tenacious, cracks had appeared in her.
However, Ling Ye's sense of trust, which had been nurtured since he was young, made him choose to trust Long Tianhao unconditionally. Furthermore, he loyally carried out his every order.
"Ling Ye, this is not an order, but a request. This is a request from Long Tianhao, your only Senior Brother. If you don't want to go, just pretend that I didn't say anything. "
After all, Long Tianhao valued the brotherhood between him and Ling Ye.
He wanted power, but Ling Ye didn't want that kind of life.
But at the same time, Long Tianhao also understood that being his shadow would certainly save Ling Ye from a lot of danger.
However, the life hidden in the dark should not belong to Ling Ye, who was equally outstanding.
Ling Ye raised his head and looked into Long Tianhao's eyes.
That was the first time since they came of age that they looked at each other openly, not as master and servant, but as brothers.
In the end, Ling Ye nodded.
He cupped his hands and bowed to Long Tianhao. Then, he turned around and left.
But only when Long Tianhao stood there and watched Ling Ye's figure disappear from his sight did he realize that from now on, Night, who hid in the dark and shielded him from all dangers, would never appear again.
He felt a little melancholy.
He suddenly understood Lin Mengya's state of mind when she sent Lin Zhongyu away.
They were as close as brothers, not to mention Ling Ye, who had grown up with him since he was a child.
Unfortunately, when the nest was overturned, there would be no intact eggs.
Even if it was Night, he had to be careful in order to be their help.
The darkness faded, and the night gradually disappeared into the dawn.
Long Tianhao pretended that nothing had happened and walked back to his tent.
No one knew what he had done last night, and no one knew how Long Tianhao was feeling at this moment.
Smoke rose from the chimney as usual.
Long Tianhao restrained all his abnormal emotions and returned to the tent where he and Lin Mengya were staying.
Inside, it was quiet.
Lin Mengya didn't know when she had fallen asleep with her clothes on. She hugged Moyan and curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly.
She couldn't help softening her facial features.
Long Tianhao reached out his hand and touched her little face lovingly.
"You're back …"
Perhaps because his hand was a little cold, Lin Mengya woke up at this moment.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the man in front of her lazily. There was still a unique coquettish tone in her voice when she got up in the morning.
"Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep. It's okay. "
Looking at the woman on the bed apologetically, Lin Mengya subconsciously moved inside with Moyan in her arms.
She gently patted the bed with her free little hand, not on guard at all.
"You should also rest for a while. It should be still early."
Except for him, Lin Mengya had never been so unguarded against anyone.
Seeing such a person who trusted him wholeheartedly, Long Tianhao's heart surged with waves of undercurrents.
He took off his coat and lay down beside Lin Mengya.
Long Tianhao held her and Moyan in his arms. From time to time, there was a flash of light in his deep eyes.
"Mengya, when we return to the capital city, you will really be my princess, okay?"
It was a test and also an inquiry.
But more than that, it was a cunning way to take advantage of others' difficulties.
Because only at this time, Lin Mengya was not that kind of shrewd appearance.
It was only at this moment that she would agree to all of his bad requests in a daze.
"Hmm …"
Her slight nasal voice brought with it a strong sense of sleep.
As for what the man said in her ear, Lin Mengya, who had been half-awake for a long time, did not hear it at all.
"Okay, sleep, my princess."
Although Lin Mengya had agreed in a daze, the treacherous plan had succeeded.
However, Long Tianyu still managed to break into a relaxed smile.
It seemed that the heavy burden on his shoulders had become insignificant because of Lin Mengya's answer.
He used both hands and feet to hold his princess in his arms.
Long Tianhao finally closed his eyes. Even if the Crown Prince took away all his credit, so what?
Only the woman in his arms was the most precious thing to him.
After a dream, there would always be a moment of waking up.
After almost staying up all night, Lin Mengya's face was a little haggard.
She always felt that there seemed to be a mosquito constantly buzzing in her ear.
Perhaps it was her misconception. It was only April. Where did the mosquito come from?
It was really infuriating to compare oneself with others. They were also busy all night.
However, she was so sleepy that she could not lift her spirits, while Long Tianhao, who slept less than her, was still as energetic as before.
It seemed that if she did not use the refreshing function of the Shen Nung system, she was afraid that she would spend the day in a daze.
But she did not know whether it was her illusion or not.
She always felt that the more she used the functions of the Shen Nung system, the more tired she would be.
It was probably similar to the effects of caffeine.
After all, the brain was also a part of the human body. No matter how powerful it was, it also needed to rest.
What was more, her current physical condition was also good and bad.
Therefore, she would try not to use it when she could.
That was why Lin Mengya had been yawning so much that day.
Even the teacher could not stand it. He instructed her to just sit at the side and rest.
Holding her chin with both hands, Miss Lin Mengya was busy preparing the medicine. Even though these were repetitive mechanical tasks, the teacher was meticulous from beginning to end.
It was as if he had to carefully consider every single dose of medicine.
It could be seen that the teacher really loved these medicinal herbs.
Otherwise, he would not have been crazy for poison for a lifetime.
"Teacher, do you think it's possible that Gu Die is really the culprit behind the plague?"
In fact, Lin Mengya had discussed this question with the teacher on the way.
But she didn't know what to ask. When she mentioned it again last night, the teacher denied it for Gu Die without thinking.
"Girl, although Gu Die is hateful, you have to remember that the members of his family would never do such a heartless thing. Just like our Baili family, we have fallen in love with poison for generations. Some inheritances are rooted in one's flesh and blood. They will never change. "
Looking at the serious look on the teacher's face, Lin Mengya did not comment.
After covering her little mouth and yawning, she retorted leisurely.
"But Baili Wuchen doesn't know how to use poison. Otherwise, you wouldn't have cried and begged me to be your student. "
Hearing Baili Wuchen's name, Baili Rui's hand, which was grabbing the medicine, slowed down a little.
In the end, he continued to prepare the medicine, but his tone was a little heavy.
