Chapter 622 In Deep Love

The return trip was much smoother than their arrival. Long Tianyu had somehow managed to get rid of all the spies sent by the Crown Prince.

They traveled light, so it was not a hard journey. However, Lin Mengya and Mo Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, felt a little depressed.

After a day’s journey, the horse carriage finally stopped in the twilight.

Although it was not the first time for her to spend the night in the wild, Lin Mengya felt much more secure with her loved ones around her.

“Come out and flex your muscles! Or do you decide to spend the rest of your life in the carriage?”

Among all the people present, Qinghu was the only one who dared to jest with Lin Mengya like this.

As for the others, they all pretended not to hear him and did their own work.

How dare they make fun of the princess? Did they want to die?

“Even if you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute and sell you.”

Lin Mengya whispered to Qinghu, bluffing. After all, she was not a thin skinned person. Seeing that everyone was pretending to be normal, Lin Mengya relaxed and no longer felt embarrassed.

All the people gathered round, and a few small fires were lit in the center.

Before the retreat, Long Tianyu had made a very detailed plan. In the Capital City, the teacher’s cover had already been blown and it had already been widely spread.

Therefore, the teacher couldn’t go back to Prince Yu’s Mansion anymore.

Originally, Lin Mengya wanted to send her teacher to Sanjue Hall so that Yunzhu could take care of him.

However, Long Tianyu apparently had other plans. Out of many considerations, Lin Mengya gave up her plan.

“Come here.”

Not far away, Long Tianyu held out his hand to Lin Mengya.

In the orange firelight, there was a very gentle smile on his handsome face.

Qinghu also turned his head and tenderly played with little Moyan he had taken from Lin Mengya’s arms.

People seemed to have made a point of leaving the couple alone.

Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and gently placed it on Long Tianyu’s hand. Her heart skipped a beat when her hand was held by his warm and strong palm.

As if she had been electrocuted, the woman lowered her head unconsciously.

Although they had been very intimate with each other for a long time, Lin Mengya was still not used to being so intimate with Long Tianyu in front of outsiders.

The couple held hands and sat down by the fire. Lin Mengya felt an infinite tender warmth rise up within her.

“Have you found out what happened in Luoshui Town?”

No sooner had she raised the question than she regretted it in her heart.

Why did she bring up such a killjoy as soon as she opened her mouth when it was clearly a good time to be romantically involved?

Fortunately, Long Tianyu did not mind.

In fact, he didn’t know what to say either. As Lin Mengya had mentioned it, he naturally continued the subject.

“The poison that caused the plague came from a cave. When we arrived, the evidence had been destroyed. The only thing we knew was that they wanted to do something with this poison. But halfway through, there seemed to be an accident, and later, it was out of control.”

Long Tianyu’s inky black pupils reflected the flickering flame.

Unfortunately, Lin Mengya did not notice the struggle that flashed across Long Tianyu’s eyes.

The information that Long Tianyu had gotten was similar to what Lin Mengya had heard from Qinghu.

Unexpectedly, it was just an accident that led to this catastrophe that almost killed all the people of Yun State.

“I see. But how are you going to explain it to your father when you go back to the Capital City? The Crown Prince had taken the credit for controlling the plague alone. Was our trip here in vain?”

Lin Mengya was not a greedy, rash person. What was more, they had earned enough fame during the trip. Sometimes, the support of the people was more precious than the award of the court.

It was just that the antidote to the plague was hammered out by Lin Mengya and her teacher. Gu Die’s mistake was thus put right.

Now Lin Mengya felt a little resentful if she had to give the Crown Prince all the credit for this.

“How could it be? The plague is not over yet. I heard that father is looking for a way to reassure the public. Crown Prince’s counselor has already worked it out and handed over the memorial to the throne. But I heard that father is not very satisfied with their method.”

After being accustomed to playing tricks, Long Tianyu, who cared about brotherly love, had become a scheming, crafty man.

Seeing the faint curve of his thin lips, Lin Mengya knew that he must have a grasp of the situation and know what to do.

“All right. In that case, we’d better wait and see.”

Although the Crown Prince and the empress had the help of aristocratic families and had been secretly in cahoots with the Candle Dragon Cult, the emperor had apparently lost his trust in them.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the Crown Prince was deposed.

If she were the Crown Prince, she might be eager to show off and steer public opinion in her favor.

Unfortunately, the more anxious he was about it, the more flaws he revealed.

There was something strange about the pattern between the two of them. When they were talking business just now, they talked back and forth, and each knew what the other was thinking.

By the end of the conversation, however, they seemed to have completely lost their ability to continue communicating.

Lin Mengya felt that the silence between the two of them had made her more and more awkward.

As she was about to stand up and talk about something else, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt.

“Be careful!”

In a flash, Lin Mengya fell into Long Tianyu’s arms.

Coincidentally, Long Tianyu had one arm around her slender waist and the other…

“Hmm…”

Lin Mengya unconsciously moaned, and it made Long Tianyu’s eyes darkened in an instant.

Their red lips, too close, clung together naturally…

Good heavens! Lin Mengya wished to die!

She buried her head deep in Long Tianyu’s arms.

She didn’t know if it was because the orange fire had ignited the passion in her heart.

Or it was because she had been scared these days that she was eager to know whether Long Tianyu in front of her was still in good condition.

No matter what the reason was, just when she and Long Tianyu were kissing passionately, people around them were secretly looking at them.

Lin Mengya could only feel that the heat on her face was about to spread to her ankles.

She didn’t hate it, and even enjoyed each intimate contact with Long Tianyu.

However—

Alas, her good reputation was all ruined now.

She stole a glance at Long Tianyu and found him smiling like a wild chrysanthemum blooming in the spring breeze.

The unsatisfied expression on his face was so obvious that all the people present should have known.

Lin Mengya’s face blushed even more deeply. She could only pretend that she did not hear other people’s sneers. Then she was stuffed back into the carriage in Long Tianyu’s arms.

“Wow, look at your face full of longing. If one didn’t know, they would think that you were going to have an affair!”

Damn Qinghu! Lin Mengya raised her head and shot him a glare.

However, this guy pouted. Obviously, he was laughing at what she had just done.

In an instant, Lin Mengya felt as if her face was on fire. But she had to look down and pretend that she didn’t see it.

“Hey, you two have been married for a year, haven’t you? Looking at His Highness, it seems that you haven’t—”

Lin Mengya lowered her head even lower. She wished to find a mouse-hole in the carriage and hide in it.

They indeed had been married for a year, but—

“But one year is a long time for a normal man. Girl, is there something wrong with your husband?”

Qinghu was talking nonsense in a serious manner again, but Lin Mengya seemed to lose her mind.

She was really thinking about what Qinghu said.

“It can’t be… He was quite normal when he was drugged with aphrodisiacs before.”

Qinghu suppressed his urge to laugh when he saw Lin Mengya seriously asked him for advice.

He didn’t expect this girl to be so innocent.

However, since she had asked him for advice, he thought he might as well teach the girl something.

“Aphrodisiacs? He had been drugged with aphrodisiacs? Oh, this is a big problem. Lass, let me tell you—”

Then Qinghu leaned close to Lin Mengya’s ear and whispered the embarrassing and disturbing subject.

With a flushed little face, she looked shy at first and then became more and more serious. In the end, her expression turned into incredulity.

Her cherry-like little mouth was slightly open. Obviously, she was shocked by what Qinghu had told her.

“No… it’s impossible…”

Lin Mengya felt a little guilty. If it had not been for Qinghu’s reminder, she would not have noticed it.

Was it really because of the aphrodisiac that Long Tianyu had become like this?

In that case, it would be a great sin for her. Also, was she really going to have a Platonic marriage after that?

Although she was not a sensual person, it was a little bit… boring.

“Whether it’s the truth or not, you’ll know after you have a try. Why don’t you—”

Hiding his evil smile in his heart, Qinghu told Lin Mengya some tricks that Long Tianyu would definitely never forget for the rest of his life.

Looking at the innocent little girl who was fooled by him within a few words, Qinghu proudly glanced at the direction of the prince outside the horse carriage.

Long Tianyu, oh Long Tianyu! He probably couldn’t even imagine in his dreams that the dignified Prince Yu would have such a day.

“Do you remember?”

Qinghu immediately became serious again. Looking at Lin Mengya sternly and instructed her in a low voice.

“Yes, I’ve kept it in mind. However, is it really useful to do so? Shall I ask my teacher for advice?”

Lin Mengya didn’t know why I thought in such a strange way.

However, she felt that what Qinghu said was very reasonable, and thus she had to believe it.

Seeing that Qinghu was nodding solemnly, Lin Mengya bit her cherry-like lips and nodded with her flushed face.

“There’s no need to do that. Do you want everyone to know about Long Tianyu’s unmentionable illness? Besides, you’re husband and wife. You’re the most suitable person to do this kind of thing.”
