Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 349 - A Love Token

Chapter 349 A Love Token

After hesitating for a while, Long Tianyu started to speak very carefully.

“I believe you’ve realized that. Dajin, in fact, isn’t controlled by my father alone. To be more precise, the reason why Dajin is not in a mess yet, is that someone is governing internal affairs and holding the fort.”

Long Tianyu was watching Lin Mengya as he spoke.

When he found that she was not surprised, Long Tianyu felt relieved.

Lin Mengya was really smart. It was possible for her to seek out the clues from the information she received and to draw such a conclusion.

But what he was going to say next was indeed something she should know.

“They will not show up often to interfere in our affairs. But when it comes to the throne or the stability of our country, they will take action to interfere, if necessary.”

Lin Mengya got what Long Tianyu was implying. After all was said, it remained the statement that women could not be in power, because they would cause chaos.

It was no wonder that she was able to enter the Palace so easily.

And those people helped remove many obstacles on her return.

“So all they did is actually the consultation fee for me to treat the Emperor?”

“There was a precedent in the previous dynasty. I don’t want to see you get hurt. So I hope you could take everything into consideration before you take action.”

Looking at her face, Long Tianyu thought that Lin Mengya had accepted his advice. So he also heaved a sigh of relief, silently.

In fact, Long Tianyu told her this because he received a letter, before he fell asleep last night.

It stated that Lin Mengya should be awarded for her check on the Emperor. But she could not become over-conceited and break the convention that women were forbidden to interfere in political affairs. Of course, they said that in a very tactful manner. However, Long Tianyu thought it necessary to inform Lin Mengya about that.

Long Tianyu had a clear conscience about everything he had done.

But he was sure that some of powers in the court were partial to the Empress. After punis.h.i.+ng the Crown Prince by making him quieten down, they delivered such a genuine warning letter to him.

“I see. I won’t make it difficult for you. I’m a woman and I know there are things I can’t do.”

She had done too many astonis.h.i.+ng things recently, and attracted a lot of attention.

She was now in the ancient times, where conventions and etiquette were the most important. She could do nothing, but endure those injustice and judgement on women.

It was a pity that Lin Mengya could pull the Empress down off her position, but she could not fight against the feudal society alone.

Lin Mengya did not say anything more and felt down in spirits. When he saw that, Long Tianyu also felt sorry for her, in his heart.

He hesitated, and did not know how to comfort her.

Long Tianyu was inexperienced in making a girl laugh. The lady in front of him was particularly smart and would not be pleased by any common methods.

After pondering upon it, Long Tianyu suddenly strode out of Liuxin Courtyard hurriedly.

“Ahem, where are you going?”

Lin Mengya lifted her head, only to see his departing back.

Before she finished her sentence, the slim back had already disappeared from her sight.

“Hey!” Lin Mengya shook her head. Anyway, she was already used to Long Tianyu’s way of coming and going so suddenly.

Just as she was about to call Baiji and Baishao to go for a walk outside, Lin Mengya saw Long Tianyu coming back, walking in big strides.

“Take it.”

Lin Mengya, with her eyes opened wide, stared at the sandalwood box Long Tianyu presented to her.

The patterns on the surface were dark brown and delicate. There were four fine-embroidered golden flowers in its four corners.

Lin Mengya opened the padlock, and immediately, the splendor of jewels shone in her eyes.

“They’re—”

Inside the box were lots of valuable gold hairpins and jade stones.

At the bottom, there was a stack of bank notes. Even though they were folded, the numbers on them could still be seen very clearly.

Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu and felt very confused. She was murmuring silently that she had already many boxes like this.

“Prince Yu, did you rob the national treasury?”

“Well, what does that mean?”

Lin Mengya felt this was funny. If Long Tianyu gave her such a box in the past, she would think that she was a money-mad woman in his eyes.

But she realized now that Long Tianyu misunderstood her.

If not, why then did he gave her so much money each time. As Princess Yu, Lin Mengya knew clearer than Long Tianyu, about how much money there was in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Long Tianyu had given her many boxes like this. He seemed to give her all the cash he had.

“You told me that you like money. If it’s not enough, well—”

Looking at Long Tianyu’s serious expression, Lin Mengya almost burst out laughing.

She did not recall until now that she had indeed told Long Tianyu that she loved money the most, when they were quarrelling.

“Are…are you trying to please me?”

Long Tianyu did not admit it. But it could be seen on his face that he felt very embarra.s.sed.

“Oh, seems like she guessed it correctly.”

“All right then, I’ll accept it.”

Lin Mengya smilingly took the sandalwood box.

Rarely, Long Tianyu showed a facial expression, which was adorable in her eyes. In fact, Lin Mengya was feeling very satisfied.

Noticing her smile, Long Tianyu was also relieved.

If money could buy her smile, Long Tianyu would be willing to give her all the money he had.

“Something else needs my attention. I should get on it now.”

Long Tianyu felt at ease now and the worries weighing on his mind also faded away.

Long Tianyu grew up in the Imperial Palace, so he treated money in a different way from the others.

The third prince or Prince Yu was one Long Tianyu’s t.i.tles. He was also the Master of Four Saints, a puissant power in the society.

Four Saints was a large-scale organization. Of course lots of money was needed to keep it running normally.

Therefore, this business under his name covered almost half of Dajin.

If Lin Mengya was told that her husband possessed the second largest treasure after her father-in-law, would she think herself to be a lucky woman?

Lin Mengya held her precious box carefully, as she watched Long Tianyu walking away.

Somehow, she felt warmed in her heart.

She carefully touched its smooth wooden surface with her small hands. Lin Mengya would never admit that she was moved by money.

Huh, she owned Sanjue Hall. She was also a rich woman.

But no one would say no to money. The more, the better.

Lin Mengya only had that thought in her heart. She told Baishao to put it together with all the other things that Long Tianyu gave her before.

Lin Mengya was really inexperienced in building a connection with a man, in her last life. Obviously, she did not realize that those s.h.i.+ning jewellery and large bank notes could be seen as a token of their love.

We have to admit that rich people were self-willed.

After lunch and a half hour nap, Lin Mengya went down to the dungeon again.

She did not put on a voluminous, splendid palace costume so that she could act casually.

She wore a lavender riding habit embroidered with begonias. The tightened collarband, the gem-decorated belt and the milky, woolen boots made her look quite pretty and cool.

The controller at the dungeon had already changed. Meng Junlan, who always spoke to her in an enigmatic way last time, was the controller.

Last time, Lin Mengya helped Meng Junlan to exert his authority in front of his subordinates. Then, this time, he did not make it difficult for her. Lin Mengya went to the stone room where Baili Rui was, very easily.

No one was guarding this room.

By Long Tianyu’s order, those guards could not come around the stone room.

Lin Mengya entered and did not see her teacher in his usual pose, lost in thought, in front of the Scarlet Ginseng.

The weird thing was that the heavy smell of blood was gone.

There was only black soil in the flowerpot made from white jade, which was about the height of a man. Those green, tiny leaves in the Scarlet Ginseng, which was as high as half a man’s height, had withered.

Lin Mengya was relieved for the moment.

The Scarlet Ginseng withered maybe because Long Tianyu refused to offer Baili Rui any flesh and blood.

That such a valuable herb should die was really a pity.

However, Lin Mengya still believed that it was better that the herb had died, because she always thought that this herb signified cruelness.

“Master, you’re back.”

A soft, attractive voice came from deep inside the stone room.

Then, Yunzhu dressed in a snowy, heavy dress, pulled back the blue-black cloth curtain and came out of the inner room.

“Yes. Why are you here?”

Lin Mengya still an optimistic att.i.tude about the missed love between Yunzhu and her teacher.

After all, both of them broke up because of a misunderstanding. They were actually missing each other. Since they had told each other the truth, it would be better to see Jack having his Jill.

Besides, Yunzhu was really capable. If she became the wife of her teacher, it would be a happy event to be doubly related.

“I came here to take care of him. I can’t imagine that he became so gaunt in only a few days. If it carries on, I’m afraid that his body can’t take it.”

Her tone revealed the tenderness which could only exist between a couple of lovers.

Lin Mengya looked at her carefully. Her face had recovered, and looked almost like how she was when she was young.

In fact, she looked younger than she really was.

Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. It seemed that Yunzhu had just helped Baili Rui to get into the inner room for a rest.
