Lin Mengya was wearing a light purple cloak. She walked out of the camp in a low-key manner with Moyan wrapped in her arms.

Outside, Li Jia’s men had already prepared everything.

Lin Mengya turned around and looked at the somewhat chaotic camp. Before leaving, she had secretly released the news that Gu Xing had escaped.

Moreover, while everyone was speculating, she put the blame for spreading the plague on Gu Xing.

This way, Gu Xing would become a wicked man that was hated by thousands of people.

After learning that such a person had escaped, how could the people who suffered from the plague let him off?

Therefore, it was now a game for everyone to catch the mouse.

At this time, no one would notice Lin Mengya. Holding Moyan, who had no idea what had happened, she swaggered out of the camp.

“Let’s go and meet up with Qinghu.”

Although the camp was guarded by soldiers, it was almost in a mess.

Qinghu had lured away most of the spies, and Gu Xing had caused a stir. At this moment, no matter how many spies there were, they were busy enough with their own affairs.

No one knew the root cause of this turmoil. Yet it was merely a trick to cover Lin Mengya’s and Long Tianyu’s leave.

The horse carriage did not go far, and the Crown Prince’s men would arrive sometime later. According to the Crown Prince’s character, he would definitely seek revenge madly if he knew that they had plotted against him secretly.

She had always been out in the open while the Crown Prince had been in the dark.

Now, it was time for them to exchange positions, wasn’t it?

The carriage drove smoothly and secretly on a small country road. Soon, they arrived at an inconspicuous residence.

It was the place that Long Tianyu had prepared long ago and was surrounded by his men, who were lying in ambush.

Once there was something unusual around, Lin Mengya and the others would be able to retreat as soon as possible.

The small courtyard was very clean and secluded.

Li Jia had always been a neat worker. The traces of their arrival had been cleaned up.

This time, no matter how crazy the Crown Prince’s men were, they could not find them in such a short time.

“Mr. Baili will be there soon. Please go inside and have a rest,” said Li Jia.

Lin Mengya looked outside and was very satisfied.

Just as she was about to enter the courtyard, she saw a familiar figure riding a horse toward her.

“How is it?”

Lin Mengya walked up to Qinghu with a smile. From his curved lips, she could tell that though the other side outnumbered him, it was actually his one-sided massacre.

“I’m not satisfied.”

Qinghu pursed his lips. Over the years, he had killed countless masters.

Fighting these worthless people could simply not satisfy him.

Moreover, Lin Mengya did not ask him to kill them.

“Alright, don’t be so cruel. I don’t know if the Crown Prince is satisfied with the gift we’ve sent him for our first meeting.”

Although the Crown Prince might not come in person, Lin Mengya knew what the Empress was up to.

Even if the Crown Prince would not go to the front line, he would definitely hold the fort in the rear to win himself the reputation of being kind and benevolent.

Since that was the case, the Crown Prince would find out about her gift as soon as possible.

She was looking forward to how the arrogant guy would fly into a rage.

Sure enough, everything went as Lin Mengya expected.

The Crown Prince’s men, who were supposed to arrive tomorrow, appeared near the camp as soon as they left.

The leader was Baili Wuchen, the former rebel of Prince Yu’s Mansion. He was capable and soon took over everything in the camp.

The turmoil was quickly resolved because the escaped Gu Xing was found to have broken legs and arms, hollow eye sockets, and an empty mouth.

The important witness had turned into a disabled man.

However, it happened on the first day that Baili Wuchen took over the camp. He was naturally the one to take the blame.

After Lin Mengya got the news, she just smiled indifferently.

With Baili Wuchen’s scheming character and means, it would not be difficult for him to solve this problem.

Nonetheless, what Lin Mengya was curious about was that she merely asked someone to knock Gu Xing out and hide him by the river, but why did he become like this when he was found?

“Could it be Qinghu’s doing?”

Doubtfully, Lin Mengya turned to look at Qinghu, who was arguing childishly with Moyan.

No, Qinghu was busy dealing with the spies at that time and had no time to return to the camp.

It seemed that someone wanted to make the pool of water even more turbid.

“That’s good. That’s the only way I can fish in troubled waters,” she thought.

The small residence was simple. There were only three houses and a small yard.

The decoration inside was simple too with all necessities. Lin Mengya, who had always been adaptable, was quite used to living here.

From the moment she found out that Baili Wuchen was the leader of the Crown Prince’s men, she had a strange feeling inside.

Baili Wuchen did no meritorious service. In the Crown Prince’s group, even if he was quite popular, he was nothing but a nobody who served the Crown Prince.

How could he, a servant, be in charge of such an important matter of the imperial court?

Could it be that the Crown Prince had other plans in mind?

Moreover, Baili Wuchen was cunning. When he was on Long Tianyu’s side, he was a ruthless counselor.

If he were to stir up trouble, both Long Tianyu and she would be in danger.

Hence, even though everything had been arranged properly, she could not rest assured.

“Are you still thinking about Baili Wuchen’s purpose? Why don’t I go to the camp and kill him so that you won’t be upset?”

Qinghu smiled and looked at Lin Mengya, who was sitting by the window and apparently absent-minded.

Lin Mengya was only wearing a light blue coarse coat today. She did not have any accessories on her.

It was just that her smooth, black hair was braided simply behind her head.

Just now, she was holding a small spoon and feeding Moyan milk.

Now, the wooden spoon was about to be chewed up by Moyan, but she still sat quietly in front of the window, lost in thought as if she didn’t feel anything.

“No need.”

Only after she was disturbed did she remember what she had been doing.

She looked at Moyan with an apologetic expression. He was looking at her with his big, watery eyes aggrievedly.

She allowed Qinghu to take the child away from her arms and felt that she was increasingly incompetent.

“How long have you been like this?”

Qinghu gently held Moyan in his arms. The little boy didn’t like him, but drinking milk was his first priority. When he was hungry, he would listen to whoever fed him.

At this moment, Qinghu had no time to get angry with him.

He took the wooden spoon, which was held tightly by Lin Mengya, and continued to feed Moyan milk.

Nonetheless, he sounded worried about Lin Mengya.

“I don’t know. In the beginning, I thought it was because of my injured right hand.”

Qinghu was talking about Lin Mengya’s body, which was getting slower and slower.

For example, just now, Moyan was so hungry that he bit the wooden spoon in her hand hard. Generally speaking, any ordinary person should have felt it long ago.

In addition, she had always been vigilant. Even if she was distracted, she would not have been unaware of such an action.

The only explanation was that she began to grow slow.

“I could tell it this morning. When I combed hair for you, I accidentally pulled it, but I didn’t expect that you didn’t respond at all.”

Qinghu tried his best not to show any flaw in his expression, because Lin Mengya had never mentioned it to anyone, not even Baili Rui and Long Tianyu.

Since they didn’t know about it, she must have a reason to hide it.

“I didn’t expect it to be so serious. But you don’t have to worry. I know my body. After I go back this time, I have to do something at once.”

Everything was caused by the mutated poison lurking in her body.

She had no idea if it was because of the Shen Nung system that her mind grew unusually clear, though her five senses would sometimes become a little slow.

Even if she didn’t sleep well, she didn’t seem to be confused or tired at all.

No matter how hard she checked, the system showed that her body was normal.

It seemed that these abnormalities could not be solved with the help of the Shen Nung system alone.

She didn’t know if the prescription given by the Shen Nung system could work.

“Alright. I came back because I want you to be safe and sound. By the way, girl, is the music score for the green stringed instrument in your hands?”

There was no need for Lin Mengya to lie to Qinghu.

She nodded slightly. Qinghu was probably the one who knew the most about it.

A trace of anxiety crept over Qinghu’s face. But soon, it disappeared into thin air.

His gaze swept across every corner without leaving a trace.

After making sure that there was no one else around, he said softly, “You’d better not tell anyone about this. Girl, I know that Long Tianyu truly loves you. However, in the face of the temptation of power that can help him conquer the world, even if he is not tempted, the people around him may not be like him. There are too many smart people in the world, but few are sober.”

Lin Mengya naturally understood the connotation of his words.

She didn’t expect the medical book to allow people to conquer the world.

“What exactly is that?”

That was a question that had puzzled Lin Mengya for a long time.

In recent days, she had looked through every page of it. If there were any secrets, she would have long ago found some clues.

Nevertheless, it was in vain. It turned out that it was just a medical book.

“I don’t know, either. That’s one of the biggest secrets of the Candle Dragon Cult. Only the head knows about it. I was almost exposed because I wanted to find out about it. But girl, it’s better for you to destroy the book. Only in this way can you be safer.”

Qinghu didn’t say anything other than that.
