“Since you denied it, then so be it. At least he doesn’t have any evil intentions towards us at present,” Long Tianyu said, while pinching Lin Mengya’s nose.

Seeing her frown slightly, he relaxed his grip joyfully.

Then he turned his black eyes and looked deeply at the woman in front of him.

There was something Ya’er might be unaware of.

Even if Mr. Zhu was the head of the Candle Dragon Cult, he could now protect his wife.

“I heard that you’ve become an eligible bachelor well known in Dajin. Didn’t any women try to attach themselves to you?” Lin Mengya asked.

In fact, she had been exhilarated since she met Long Tianyu.

She just put on a straight face on purpose to tease him in a pettishly charming manner.

However, Long Tianyu did not deny it immediately. Instead, he showed a trace of hesitation in his affectionate eyes.

After a short moment, he said in a casual tone, “People said that I was born with a curse harmful to my wife, so no one was willing to marry his daughter to me. Now I also sigh over my bad luck. Why did my wife leave me for nothing?”

Hearing him say that lightly, Lin Mengya froze.

She put on a fawning smile again, gently kissed his chin, and showed a pitiful look, indicating that she did not dare to do that anymore.

She said, “No, that’s just nonsense. Don’t be superstitious!”

“Oh? Is that so?” Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Obviously, he doubted her excuse he didn’t quite understand.

Lin Mengya nodded vigorously at once, fearing that he would put on a dejected look again.

“Alright then. Nevertheless, no matter where you go, I will find you again,” he said, staring seriously at Lin Mengya.

Despite her slight reluctance, she still couldn’t help feeling overwhelming sweetness.

She said, “Well, I won’t leave you anymore. No matter what happens in the future, I will always stay with you.”

Then she rested her forehead on Long Tianyu’s and looked into his eyes with deep affection.

She had thought herself deeply in love, but she was unaware that Long Tianyu had become the most loyal believer of love as she did.

“Well, Baisu is coming back soon. I can’t show up now. Be careful in the imperial palace of the Lieyun Empire. I’ll pick you up when the time comes.” After letting go of Lin Mengya reluctantly and settling her on one side of the carriage, Long Tianyu told her solemnly.

Lin Mengya nodded meekly and looked at Long Tianyu with a smile.

“Long Tianyu, do you think we look like a couple dating stealthily?” She asked, resting her chin on her hand and watching him adjust his black cape.

With his handsome face under the hood of his black cape, no one could tell what he actually looked like.

Seeing her wicked smile, Long Tianyu did not retort.

He stretched out his long arms, pulled Lin Mengya back into his embrace instantly, kissed her red lips, and easily took her breath away.

It was only when Lin Mengya was about to suffocate that he let go of her.

Lin Mengya beat her chest heavily and glared at Long Tianyu reproachfully with tears in her eyes.

He must have done that on purpose!

“I’m leaving. I’ll come to see you next time,” he said and patted her on the head.

Then a black figure leaped out of the window.

Lin Mengya immediately leaned against the window, but she failed to see him.

“Young Lady, is there anything wrong?” One of the guards in charge of watching her over around the carriage immediately came forward to ask her.

Lin Mengya shook her head with an embarrassed smile.

She had no idea since when Long Tianyu’s flying skill became so strange.

There were plenty of guards around, but none of them saw him leave.

“Bang!” At this moment, a wheel of the carriage happened to bump into a stone.

No one noticed that a small black cloth package was thrown into the carriage.

Lin Mengya composedly retracted her body from outside the window and picked up the small cloth package with her hand.

After undoing the package, she found there was a jade ornament shaped like the Green Heron Grass inside.

When she was separated from Xiaoyu on the street that night, she met him again accidentally.

Come to think of it, she seemed to have thought him a playboy.

Unexpectedly, he was her beloved.

“Does he want to tell me that he can receive my messages wherever I am? Since when did he learn this kind of romantic trick?” She murmured to herself.

When she joyfully put the jade carving Green Heron Grass in her hand and toyed with it, she inadvertently saw a small character “mu” on the belly of the heron.

Lin was her surname. She knew better than anyone else what the character, which was half of her surname, meant.

She revealed a sweet smile as if she had eaten honey, cautiously putting the jade carving Green Heron Grass in her bosom.

Long Tianyu’s appearance gave her, whose heart had been unsettled, a sense of belonging.

Her husband was the only person to whom she belonged.

“Miss, I’m back.” There came Baisu’s voice.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted the moment she put the heron away.

Then, Baisu returned to the carriage with an alert look.

“Oh, how are things going? Did you find anything unusual?” Lin Mengya asked.

She had guessed that the so-called situation must be a trick Long Tianyu played to draw Baisu away.

However, she should still take Madame Hui’s business seriously.

“Nothing special. I just found some marks along the way. But the strange thing was that although the marks were new, when I followed the marks, I didn’t find any clues. Could it be that they had any special purpose?” Baisu said.

Not only Baisu was puzzled, but also Lin Mengya could not figure out why they did that.

If the marks were left by Madame Hui’s men, they presumably intended to ambush her or do something to Madame Hui.

But now, it was so peaceful that even Baisu could not find any clues.

It only meant either they were so proficient in martial arts that even Baisu couldn’t discover them, or they retreated midway.

After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya still had no clue.

But once they entered the inner capital city, the Lord’s men would come to their aid.

They just needed to be careful before that.

“Miss, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?” Baisu asked, glancing at Lin Mengya worriedly.

She was unmarried, and when she was in the Liuxin Courtyard, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu had not slept together yet.

So she was naturally unaware this was the sequela of Lin Mengya’s getting carried away by her feelings.

“Ah? Really? Ha, maybe… maybe it’s too hot. You know, I always feel unwell in hot weather. Oh, the weather gets hot so suddenly, doesn’t it?” Lin Mengya spoke incoherently in front of Baisu for the first time, covering her burning cheeks with her hands.

Meanwhile, she complained about Long Tianyu a hundred times in her heart. It was all his fault!

“Well, Miss, you’d better take a shower after we return to the imperial palace, in case you get sick,” Baisu said.

She, such a simple girl, had no idea that Lin Mengya’s blush was not because of such a simple reason.

Smiling awkwardly, Lin Mengya wished she could dodge this embarrassing situation by pretending to be an ostrich with her head in the sand.

She helplessly dodged Baisu’s worried eyes and leaned against the window. The gentle breeze gradually cooled her burning cheeks.

Hopefully, there would be no one other than Long Tianyu and Baisu seeing her blush.

The cool breeze soothed Lin Mengya’s nerves gradually.

Long Tianyu’s arrival gave her more confidence.

Madame Hui was totally useless. No matter what Wanyan Jing had used her for, obviously, he could not count on her now.

Nevertheless, as Lin Mengya speculated, Wanyan Jing placed Madame Hui in the imperial palace to control Yao Lu on one hand.

By now, Lin Mengya had realized that Yao Lu and her son, Wanyan Jing, no longer had any affection for each other, let alone deep care for each other.

She should investigate what Madame Hui had done in Yao Lu’s name over the years. Perhaps she could find some clues.

On the other hand, what role exactly did Madame Hui play in the plan of Wanyan Jing given her status in the imperial palace?

In fact, this was the most puzzling thing to Lin Mengya, because if Wanyan Jing wanted Madame Hui to give the Emperor pillow talk, Madame Hui, who had fallen out of favor, was obviously the least appropriate person to do so.

Moreover, Madame Hui neither came from a powerful family nor had any children.

Most of her prestige in the imperial palace was based on the power she borrowed from Yao Lu.

Someone as shrewd as Wanyan Jing definitely wouldn’t do such a hard but thankless job.

What exactly had she overlooked?

She probably would not be able to get clues from interrogating Madame Hui.

What was more, Madame Hui didn’t make a serious mistake and was still the Lord’s concubine in name. If she was interrogated, Wanyan Jing would be alerted.

But now, she was imprisoned for what she had done to Madame Jingrou.

Someone as smart as Wanyan Jing would only be suspicious.

Furthermore, Wanyan Jing was having a hard time. Yao Lu had a downfall, and Xiaoyu accidentally found out about the Yao Family’s actual situation at present.

It was said that he was going to be back in a few days, but there was no place for him in the imperial palace.

Lin Mengya was more curious about Wanyan Jing’s reaction.

With Long Tianyu around, she became much more certain and confident.

Watching the guards escorting the carriage away, Long Tianyu, clad in black, showed up.

Baisu was very sensitive, which was good. With her protecting Lin Mengya closely, he could rest assured.

“Did you get rid of them all?” He asked.

Behind him stood his men who had returned to his side after getting rid of those people, who stalked the funeral procession, in the alley of the outer capital city.

“Rest assured, Master. We’ve gotten rid of them all, leaving no one alive,” one of his men answered.

He nodded. In fact, those people hid themselves so well that it was difficult for ordinary guards to discover them.

But it was an easy job for Long Tianyu.

“Send someone to inform Mr. Zhu that I will accomplish the task he entrusted to me within three months. But he must fulfill what he promised me as soon as possible, otherwise, both he and I will be in danger,” he said.

“Okay,” one of his men answered.

His handsome face hidden under the cloak was unprecedentedly serious.

Hopefully, it was not too late.
