Xiaoyu would never hurt Lin Mengya. He would give up everything for Ya’er.

Moreover, Xiaoyu was the one who told them about how the dragon bone could cure Ya’er.

D*mmit! At the time, due to his anxiety, he’d missed out on many suspicious details.

He gradually became overjoyed, but more importantly, he was still uncertain about this matter.

If Xiaoyu really took Ya’er’s body away secretly, there were only two possibilities.

The dragon bone could not let Ya’er come back to life, and Xiaoyu lied to him and buried Ya’er after he left.

As for the second possibility…

Long Tianyu’s hands were trembling with excitement. Perhaps Ya’er had come back to life!

Hearing Long Tianyu’s words, Hou Yuetian quickly walked out of the room to summon his men.

After a long interrogation, he returned to the room and shared the information with Long Tianyu.

“My men did not see a grey haired young man descend from above. Who exactly is this person?”

Long Tianyu was even more certain of his suspicion towards Xiaoyu.

It took him a long time to suppress his excitement.

“He’s my wife’s younger brother. However, some sort of unforeseen event might have happened.”

It seemed that he had to find Lin Zhongyu to get to the bottom of this.

Fortunately, Lin Zhongyu was in Lieyun. He could run, but he could not hide.

For the first time in the past days, there was some fluctuation in those tightly pursed thin lips.

Ya’er… His Ya’er…

If she really was still alive, he would teach her a good lesson and let her know how much pain he had experienced from thinking about her these days.

“Hold on. If Lin Mengya is not dead, have you thought about why she would do this?”

Among the three of them, Qinghu was always the one who knew Lin Mengya best.

The excitement in Qinghu’s heart was indescribable when he found out that Lin Mengya might still be alive.

But he also knew Lin Mengya’s worries, so he immediately thought of a possibility.

The other two men turned to look at Qinghu, especially Long Tianyu. At this moment, all he could think about was to rush to Lieyun to interrogate Lin Zhongyu about Ya’er’s whereabouts.

Qinghu sighed helplessly and rolled his eyes at Long Tianyu, who was blinded by excitement.

“In my opinion, let’s keep everything normal here. If you want to help her, why don’t you go back and announce her death and hold a funeral for her?”

Long Tianyu was puzzled, but he was a smart man.

The past few days, Hou Yuetian had indeed been a great help to them. However, there were still some things that he could not reveal to Hou Yuetian.

“It’s not a big deal. Just tell me what you want me to do, Brother Long and Brother Lin. Miss Lin has done me a great favor. I’ll treat it as a repayment for her kindness.”

As intelligent as Hou Yuetian was, he knew very well what these two were concerned about.

A generous smile appeared on his handsome face. Even though Long Tianyu had already seen through his identity, he was still willing to be treated as an ordinary Hou Yuetian in front of Lin Mengya.

“I’ll have to trouble you in this matter, Brother Xiahou.”

Finally, there were signs of relief on Long Tianyu’s cold face.

So this Xiahou Yuetian in front of him was the new emperor of the nation of Dongxia.

If Xiahou Yuetian was able to stabilize the crumbling nation of Dongxia, he was naturally not a simple character.

It was just that he was rather loyal and valued love. And Ya’er kind of indirectly cured his mother’s illness. So, Xiahou Yuetian wanted to repay the favor.

This matter could be considered to be completely justified.

“It doesn’t matter. I still have something to do in my palace. I won’t stay.”

After learning that Lin Mengya might not be dead, even Xiahou Yuetian was overjoyed.

He liked that smart girl very much, but he appreciated her more.

It was not the kind of romantic love, but more like that of soul mates.

He cupped his fists and said goodbye to the two men. He knew what he could get involved in.

But there were some things that he would be better off being ignorant of.

“Master.”

As soon as he went out, his subordinates came to welcome him and respectfully waited for his order instruction.

“Everything is good. Do not leak any news of the abnormal events today.”

There was a flash of light in his eyes. Lin Mengya’s identity was not as simple as he thought.

In this case, it would be better to let the world know that she had passed away.

“Yes.”

Inside the room, Long Tianyu had a complicated expression on his face.

Standing there, he looked like a stone statue.

Qinghu stood by the door, looking at him. After a while, he heaved a sigh.

“Don’t make wild guesses. You should be able to feel her feelings for you, but she has to shoulder just as much as you. I hope you won’t blame her. At least before you see her with your own eyes, don’t do anything that will make the two of you regret it.”

Qinghu smiled helplessly. He knew too well about their past.

Long Tianyu could give up everything for her, and Lin Mengya would do the same for him.

Only that there were some things that were far beyond their capabilities.

He could understand if Lin Mengya faked her death.

“But why though… why would she think that there were things that I can’t shoulder with her?”

After the initial excitement, Long Tianyu’s heart was filled with resentment towards her.

Did she really not understand how he felt about her?

His self-esteem, which had been hurt and misunderstood by Lin Mengya, had become a pain as sharp as a knife in his heart.

However, he was even more heartbroken to realize that the more he blamed Lin Mengya, the more he realized how much he loved her.

“Well… I think it’s better for you to ask her in person about these things. I’ve figured out where they have been keeping her father and brother. If possible, I hope you can help me to save them.”

This was between the two of them after all, so they had to deal with it.

If outsiders were to interfere, they would only make things more complicated.

Long Tianyu’s handsome face tensed up. Of course he had to go with Qinghu.

But sooner or later, he would go to Lieyun, so he had to make small changes to his previous plan.

“Let’s go back to the capital immediately and spread the news that Lin Mengya is dead as you suggested.”

His emotional roller-coaster did not take anything away from Long Tianyu’s intelligence.

The two of them embarked on their journey back to the capital. However, their current state of mind was completely different from before…

Lin Mengya, who was totally unaware that her secret had been exposed, was going through a hard time now.

After a discussion with Xiaoyu and Madame Jingrou, she decided to continue pretending to be bewitched and carry out the dual-pupiled man’s plan, which was to send false information to them.

Madame Jingrou seemed to know who that dual-pupiled man was.

However, no matter how hard Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu tried, she just gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.

Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu were both intelligent after all, after some private discussions, they had a rough idea of who the dual-pupiled man was.

Over the years, Madame Jingrou had very rarely come into contact with people from the outside.

The fact that she knew him, and that she had to keep it from others meant only one thing, he had to be a member of that psychotic Xin family.

At the beginning of the night, Lin Mengya sat at the table recording some information related to the Fengyu Court that could mislead the Eldest Prince.

“Miss, word came from the outside that those sect priests were ambushed and killed by some unknown figures on their way out of the palace today.”

Baisu’s beautiful figure appeared from behind her. The Emperor had something to attend to in the past few days and could not come to the Fengyu Court to spend the night, so Ningqiu had to go to Madame Jingrou’s room to spend the night with her.

“So fast? Are you sure they haven’t raised any suspicions?”

Lin Mengya asked in a low voice without raising her head. Yesterday morning, the Empress recovered inexplicably.

Moreover, she was very healthy without any side effects.

The priests, who were about to hold a religious rite to pray for blessings, opened their eyes so wide that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

It was unknown who spread the news, saying that the Empress was faking her illness to play a joke on these priests.

There was another side, saying that these priests were pretending to be mysterious and that they were useless.

In short, this matter was spread all over the country on purpose.

Those priests were all proud, arrogant figures. As they heard those rumors, they were naturally displeased with the Empress.

Relying on her status and being by her son’s side, the Empress, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was also a ticking time bomb.

Both in the open and in the dark, she had thrown those priests a lot of shade.

This was perfect. They got killed as soon as they got out of the palace. The only one who had a conflict with them was the Empress.

Although the motive was a little obvious, Lin Mengya never thought that this move could really be lethal to the Empress.

What she wanted was chaos, so from that point of view, the effect was really good.

“Yes, I’m sure. Three of the seven priests had died, one was seriously injured, and the other two had minor injuries. However, the High Priest of the Xin family did not return to the Xin family. Instead, he entered the palace again.”

Baisu’s sources were very secretive and reliable, so it was impossible for her to be discovered. Therefore, Lin Mengya did not doubt the authenticity of the news.

“Enter the palace?”

Lin Mengya turned to look at Baisu with puzzlement in her eyes.

“Yes, I heard that the High Priest was the only one who was unharmed. It seems that he has realized something in advance.”

Baisu answered hesitantly. In fact, when she heard the news, she was also a little surprised.

But that was what the man said. She didn’t know the details.

Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and no one knew what she was thinking.

The writing brush in her hand paused for a moment and then continued to write on the paper.

“He was probably vigilant. Uncle Lie and they played it safe. So there shouldn’t be any holes.”

In fact, Lin Mengya was more afraid that the news would leak out in advance.

At the time, the only people who knew about the plan were Wanyan Lie and Xiaoyu’s confidants.

Plus, if the High Priest really knew the truth, he would have led the priests to make a move already. And they wouldn’t have suffered such heavy losses.

Unless…

“I’ll inform madam of the news first thing in the morning. Since the High Priest is madam’s old acquaintance, I’m sure she’d take the opportunity to catch up with him. Come with me in the morning, maybe we’ll discover something.”

For this High Priest to jump from a branch to his current position, he definitely wasn’t lacking in the scheming department.

After being ambushed, the High Priest did not return to the Xin family, which was impenetrable. Instead, he returned to the palace. Such behavior was worth investigating.

It seemed that the Xin family was not as peaceful as it seemed.

How many secrets would the bomb she planted blast out?

She was really looking forward to it.
