Chapter 351 Imaginary Rival in Love
“I’m leaving now. You may do your own work.”
Lin Mengya cleverly left Long Tianyu’s study. As soon as she went out, she almost ran into someone.
“Sorry… Your Highness! What a coincidence that I meet you here!”
A slightly familiar voice abruptly sounded from above her head.
Lin Mengya lifted up her head and was surprised to see Qiu Yu.
“So strange. Wasn’t this person in the palace? How could he appear in Prince Yu’s Mansion?”
“Why are you here?”
Lin Mengya was a little curious. Before she left the palace, she did tell Qiu Yu how to contact her.
After all, the situation in the palace was quite complicated. If she wanted to detoxify the emperor, she had to keep communications with Qiu Yu.
But he had searched for her on his own.
“Is there something unexpected happening about the emperor’s body and he cannot handle it?”
Seeing no one around, Lin Mengya dragged him to a hidden corner.
But she couldn’t have thought that just at the moment when she was leaving, Long Tianyu would come out of the study, puzzlement on his face.
“What, what are you doing?”
Qiu Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that the girl had been secretive since the first time they met.
It seemed like she had something to hide. But maybe she had her own difficulties.
“Did something happen in the palace? Tell me the truth, is the emperor’s condition getting worse?”
Looking at Lin Mengya’s eyes full of anxiety, Qiu Yu burst out laughing.
So that was it. It seemed that Lin Mengya misunderstood his sudden visit. He shook his head with a smile and whispered,
“You can rest assured that the emperor is fine. “I’m here because…”
Before he could finish his sentence, another sound interrupted him right then.
“If you have something to discuss, why not come to my study? Mengya, you can come with us, too.”
The sudden appearance of Long Tianyu startled Lin Mengya.
She immediately relaxed her grip on Qiu Yu’s sleeves, seeming as if she had been caught doing something wrong.
Long Tianyu just glanced at Qiu Yu. There was a bit of chill in his eyes, as if he was tolerating something.
The strange atmosphere made Qiu Yu, the innocent third party, feel it was a little bit unbearable.
He let out a dry cough and went to greet him politely.
“Greetings of peace to Prince Yu. In fact, I’m here mainly to discuss with you about the medications for His Majesty.”
Qiu Yu immediately explained his purpose in coming. In truth, with so many princes in the capital city, he had seen almost each and every one of them.
However, Prince Yu was the most powerful and coldest of them all.
If it wasn’t because he was really in trouble and needed to go to Prince Yu’s Mansion to discuss things with Lin Mengya, he would not dare to visit the place casually.
And just then, he seemed to have offended Prince Yu.
It was a tricky matter.
“Oh, I see.”
After replying in a calm manner, Long Tianyu turned around first and walked back to his study.
Lin Mengya looked at him while puzzled. Seemingly, she felt that Long Tianyu was not in a good mood. Did she do something wrong?
Qiu Yu wanted to say something but stopped. Looking at that embarrassed couple, he eventually shut his mouth, not saying another word. If he guessed right, Prince Yu seemed to be jealous.
“How interesting”. During his lifetime, he could see such a cold and aloof prince getting a little upset just for a woman, which seemed to be worthwhile.
The three of them returned to the study, but at the moment they were all silent.
Qiu Yu and Long Tianyu exchanged looks from time to time, detecting a flicker of exploration and suspicion in each other’s eyes.
Only Lin Mengya, who was at the center of their confrontation, frowned and pondered over the proper business.
So she didn’t even notice the current tension between the two men around her.
“There are no outsiders here. Doctor Qiu, please just say it. What exactly do you need us to do this time?”
Lin Mengya suddenly said that. With that, the confrontation between the two men was completely concealed in an instant.
“Actually, I’ve been commissioned by several ministers this time. Now the situation in the palace is still unclear, and since the princess left the palace, the people in the Court of Imperial Physicians have relapsed. If His Majesty’s illness continues to drag on, I’m afraid it will be bad.”
After hearing that, a look of worry flashed across Lin Mengya’s eyebrows.
The only thing she didn’t have was enough time.
However, detoxification was a thing that could not be rushed.
The prescription given by the Shen Nung System was indeed good, but the poison inside the emperor’s body was too complicated.
And her teacher had become insane. Without the help of her teacher, the master of poisons, she didn’t have full confidence that she could make it.
What should she do?
The thing was in a stalemate. Maybe it was because, in what Lin Mengya just said, she considered him as being in the same group with her.
In short, Long Tianyu’s mood lifted a little.
In fact, Lin Mengya was his princess. Maybe it was because of his father’s illness that she had become so close to Qiu Yu.
Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, for the sake of the overall situation, Long Tianyu didn’t show a cold expression to Qiu Yu for the first time.
“What do you need us to do? Just say it. As long as His Majesty’s disease can be cured, the prince and I will do our best to help you.”
Qiu Yu looked at Lin Mengya but couldn’t help sighing with emotion in his mind.
No wonder his brother said that women were the most troublesome things in the world.
It seemed that he was indeed right.
Fortunately, neither him nor his brother would do something as pathetic as to fall in love with a woman.
His keen eyes showed a look of watching a drama. The shrewder a person was, the more interesting he would become when he was in love.
He turned her eyes to Lin Mengya who frowned and went into deep thoughts.
Those two people were really a perfect match.
However, the time for cranky thoughts was over. It was time to get down to business.
Qiu Yu became serious and said,
“We’ve extensively discussed it and finally concluded that this time, the prescription will be jointly decided by you and me. I have a presumptuous request that I hope Prince Yu can find a place for us to be free from others. So we can devote ourselves to our study and be undisturbed by anyone during this time.”
When suddenly hearing that Lin Mengya was going to study the prescription with that guy…
Long Tianyu felt a little awkward in his heart.
But at least, it would be under his nose. He supposed that they would not do anything to upset him.
And those two were trying to save his father. Considering that, there was no room for him to refuse.
Suddenly, Prince Yu, the most formidable man of Dajin, wrestled with his suspicion. And his face was a little gloomy.
“No problem. Your Highness, what do you say?”
That was exactly what Lin Mengya had in mind. She eagerly wished Qiu Yu, the highly-skilled doctor, would work with her on prescriptions.
She looked at Long Tianyu expectantly. Looking at that pair of bright, pure eyes, Long Tianyu unconsciously nodded.
“Great. I’ve already prepared the place, just in my yard. Next time you come, just ask someone to take you there. And I’ll make the arrangements so that no one will ever find it out.”
Lin Mengya said with some excitement. But when Long Tianyu heard that, he felt it was harsh anyway.
He knew exactly what she meant. But those words were also appropriate if they had another meaning.
Feeling as if a thorn was getting stuck in his throat, Long Tianyu was in a dilemma. He had no choice but to sit there with his face turned grave, glaring at Qiu Yu.
“That’s settled. I’ll go and get myself ready. We shouldn’t delay further, so let’s start tomorrow. By the way, I cannot leave the palace too frequently. So if something happens, I have to bother Prince Yu to pass the messages for us.”
Interesting. Qiu Yu was laughing in his sleeve.
That silly girl had not found out yet, but he already knew about Long Tianyu’s eyes clearly.
It was definitely from a male beast who discovered that another male beast strayed into his own territory. So it was a warning and displeased look.
In other words, Long Tianyu was feeling jealous.
It was really interesting. Although the men of the Long family could not be considered promiscuous, there were a few spoonies among them. Even the emperor had countless concubines. Occasionally he would especially dote on someone, but only for some months.
It must have been more than half a year since they had gotten married.
But Prince Yu not only didn’t have the feeling of boredom, but also showed a mood that might damage his manhood. It was really amazing.
It seemed that his life in Prince Yu’s Mansion would not be so easy.
With a widening smile, Qiu Yu would never miss such an interesting thing.
“All right, I’ll bother Doctor Qiu from now on.”
Lin Mengya secretly glared at Long Tianyu. The man was at least a guest, and he went to discuss the treatment of Long Tianyu’s father.
But she did not understand what was wrong with the guy. He even glared at him as if he were facing the enemy.
Not to mention that Qiu Yu might be the savior of his father. Even out of basic politeness, he shouldn’t treat guests that way.
After receiving Lin Mengya’s invincible eyeful of killing intent, no matter how unwilling Long Tianyu felt in his heart, he could only hold back.
Trying not to laugh, Qiu Yu made several polite remarks to Lin Mengya and finally said that he should go back to the palace.
“I’ll get someone to prepare a carriage to send you back to the palace. Be very careful in the palace, Doctor.”
Lin Mengya turned to leave Long Tianyu’s study and went to get someone to prepare.
Suddenly, the two men glared at each other. But one of them glowered, and the other just wanted to tease a jealous man.
