There was an extremely familiar picture engraved on the pure white jade disc.
The crescent moon was like a hook. A man was standing with his back to the door and window. He was carefully looking into the room at the woman who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
The jade annulus was extremely lifelike. Even the details were very vivid and lifelike.
Even through the jade wall, the man's reluctance and care could be seen.
Lin Mengya suddenly looked up at Long Tianhao with a reproachful look.
"Long Tianhao, how dare you peep at me in the middle of the night! You pervert! "
Although that was what he said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart.
It turned out that in his world, she had never been absent for even a moment.
"It's natural for me to look at my wife."
She was still lying with a straight face, but Long Tianyu moved his hands and divided the pair of jade annulus into two.
Although the jade wall was exquisite, it couldn't be seen if one didn't hold it in his hand and look at it carefully.
People would only think it was an ordinary pattern when they walked.
He held the jade wall in his hand. It was a gift he had prepared for a long time. He just wanted to make her smile.
"Shameless, but I'm very happy."
Lin Mengya's heart was as sweet as honey at this moment. Long Tianhao had never been a man who would play any romantic tricks.
Of course, she cherished the gifts he gave her occasionally.
Leaning on his shoulder, Lin Mengya sighed softly.
"What's wrong? I heard from Lin Kui that your elder brother came. Did he make things difficult for you? "
Long Tianhao frowned slightly. He didn't like to hear Lin Mengya sigh, because it meant that she was troubled by something.
If it was possible, he was willing to bear all the problems for her. As long as she could be happy and safe as his wife.
"It's okay. My elder brother just came to chat with me. I mentioned the marriage to him today. Although my brother didn't object, I could tell that he was unwilling in his heart. I've asked someone to find a suitable woman. I'm afraid it won't be easy. "
Lin Mengya fiddled with the tassels on the jade wall in her hand and said in a low voice.
Holding her in his arms, Long Tianhao could understand why Lin Nansheng was behaving this way.
However, he was much luckier than Lin Nansheng. If he had not met Mengya, he would have been like a walking corpse, unable to understand the beauty of love for the rest of his life.
"It doesn't matter. He'll know what he has to do. You, on the other hand, don't worry too much. Although he is your brother, I am your husband. "
Lin Mengya knew that Long Tianhao was pretending to be petty in order to comfort her.
She raised her small hand and wanted to gently hammer him, but in the end, she reluctantly lowered it and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.
"I know. By the way, did the Empress make things difficult for you when you entered the palace today?"
It was said that the Crown Prince, who went to Yunzhou for disaster relief a few days ago, had already returned.
It was just as Lin Mengya had expected. Naturally, there were people who made a big deal about the Crown Prince's contributions in Yunzhou.
As for Long Tianhao's contribution, it was not mentioned at all.
He even claimed all of the credit for developing the antidote.
This time, the Crown Prince's shamelessness had reached the lowest limit that Lin Mengya knew.
Lin Mengya gently raised the corner of her mouth, and a cold sweet smile slowly spread on her face.
There was a shrewd light shining in her watery eyes, as if she was scheming against a dead man. Not to mention others, even Long Tianhao felt a chill down his spine when he saw her eyes.
"Curbing the spread of the plague is just the beginning. I think your father should pay more attention to the reconstruction work after the plague. If nothing unexpected happens, the Emperor will summon you in a few days to discuss the reconstruction, right? "
Of course, Long Tianhao was not surprised that she could be so sensitive.
He even faintly felt that if Lin Mengya was a man, then the young heroes in the world might not have a day to stand out.
Fortunately, this clever and quick-witted little girl belonged to his family. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would have to count the money for her if he was sold.
"Post-disaster reconstruction is just two things. First, we should properly settle the victims, help them rebuild their confidence in life after the disaster, help them through the first year after the disaster, and help them build their own homes. Second, we should safely deal with all the follow-up work after the disaster, and minimize the loss under the condition of ensuring the safety of the victims. It sounds very simple, but it's very difficult to do. "
Lin Mengya said while thinking. Speaking of which, the precedent of modern post-disaster reconstruction gave her a lot of inspiration.
At least, in the current Jin State, some ideas were extremely advanced and effective.
"You're right. Therefore, the officials are trying their best to fight for disaster relief funds for Yunzhou. Especially, the Crown Prince. "
Long Tianhao was also inspired by Lin Mengya.
In fact, his subordinates had already given him advice and suggestions. But subconsciously, he still wanted to hear Lin Mengya's opinion.
"Of course he will fight for it. Whoever gets the disaster relief funds will get the lifeline of those victims. The Crown Prince will be the biggest fool in the world if he doesn't fight for this kind of good thing that can fill his own pockets and fight for fame and fortune. "
Lin Mengya didn't care about the good-for-nothing Crown Prince.
In fact, it was the Empress behind the Crown Prince and the ministers who supported them who were powerful.
In any case, the Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince and the legitimate son. Naturally, it was justifiable and he had seized a lot of opportunities.
Although Imperial Noble Consort Dehui had been promoted, she was still the second wife after all, and she was still inferior to the Empress.
Even if Lin Mengya was extremely unwilling, she had to worry about these things.
"If the Crown Prince dares to touch the money, I will report it to my father. At that time, not to mention the Empress, even Shangguan Lei can't protect him! "
Long Tianhao's face was weathered, and his black eyes were so deep that people couldn't read his real thoughts.
This was also the reason why he didn't compete with the Crown Prince at the court meeting.
"Do you want him to expose his shortcomings?"
How could Lin Mengya not understand Long Tianhao's means?
Seeing the latter nod, Lin Mengya lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
"I don't think he will be so stupid."
Lin Mengya raised her head, and her usual gentle smile returned to her face.
In fact, after fighting with the Crown Prince for so long, the person who knew the Crown Prince best must be Long Tianhao.
Furthermore, although the Shangguan Family had an illustrious background, their wealth might not be enough to make the courtiers bow to them.
Indeed, this disaster relief fund would be a good opportunity for them to gain both fame and fortune.
But Lin Mengya always felt that things might not be as simple as they thought.
"You mean, maybe, this time, the Crown Prince will give up the opportunity to fill his pockets?"
Unconsciously, the two of them walked hand in hand to Long Tianhao's study.
At this moment, there were a lot of opinions from the advisors piled up on the desk.
Lin Mengya didn't answer Long Tianhao's words. Instead, she just reached out and gently flipped through them.
They were indeed some good suggestions, but there were some blind spots.
"I don't think he will give up. After all, Yunzhou is also the home of the Shangguan family. This time, the Shangguan family can be considered to have suffered a heavy loss. However, if I were Shangguan Lei, given how shrewd and ruthless I am, I would absolutely not allow such a careless mistake that could destroy the Shangguan Clan to occur. Unless … "
Lin Mengya always liked to think from the other side's point of view.
In the past, Shangguan Lei was swift and decisive. He marched troops to war, and everywhere he went, the people trembled with fear.
It was said that he once mistakenly killed a person because of a mistake.
However, when he realized that he had made a mistake, he decided to go all out. He massacred the entire village and destroyed all the evidence.
Therefore, this matter could only be regarded as a rumor. No one dared to use this matter to ask Shangguan Lei for proof.
How could such a narrow-minded and vicious person take such a big risk just to embezzle a few million taels of disaster relief fund?
After all, the Shangguan family's plot was the entire State of Jin.
"You mean, this, maybe, is a flaw that they deliberately exposed. Just to lure us into the trap? "
Long Tianhao looked serious. Hearing Lin Mengya's words, he felt that it was not impossible.
However, he did not say too much at the court meeting. Even so, the Crown Prince's party would not be able to do anything.
"Not only you, but anyone who is interested in that position. I'm afraid that this time, they will all be plotted against. Wait and see. Soon, there will be results. "
The affairs of the court changed rapidly. It was often said that being with the emperor was like being with a tiger. Who could completely understand the emperor's mind?
Whether it was the Empress or Shangguan Lei, they had set up this monstrous killing plan. It was the emperor's own sons who were plotting against him.
Could it be that an emperor who could endure in all aspects under the threat of powerful ministers and valiant empress and often gave them unexpected blows would never be so easily manipulated by others?
"That's true."
Long Tianhao held her slender waist and buried his face in her silky hair.
As he sniffed the faint fragrance of her hair, those life-and-death struggles seemed to have gradually left his heart.
"You must be tired. Eat early."
She turned around and hugged Long Tianhao's shoulder. Lin Mengya knew that Long Tianhao always had insomnia these days.
How good would it be if he was just a noble son of an ordinary family and she was just the most ordinary woman in this world?
