Chapter 382 The Red Plum Blossom Mark

“No, I’m awake.”

Lin Mengya yawned, rubbed her eyes, and immediately lay on the edge of the window, looking at her main room.

She slept soundly last night, so she didn’t hear anything from outside.

The locks were still on the door. So the nerd dared to leave alone without saying goodbye?

Humph, he really left her alone in the mansion.

Well, she wouldn’t forgive him!

She pouted and sulked. She didn’t even know that it was because Long Tianyu left without saying goodbye or because she was imprisoned in the yard by him and not allowed to go out.

Anyway she, the Princess Yu, was angry, and the consequences were serious.

Ms. Tian had brought the scented spring clothes which were fragrant and warm. A thin layer of fine cotton was sewn in the pale pinkish purple dress.

She had considered that Madam had plenty of gorgeous clothes.

Unexpectedly, Miss had so many clothes that she had to vacate a separate room for placing them.

Nevertheless, Miss had always been easygoing in food and clothing. As long as she had enough to eat and wear, she had no requirements at all.

Dressed up, Lin Mengya secretly went to the door of Liuxin Courtyard.

Last night, she was the target under strict supervision. She quietly poked out her little head, wondering why no one was here in the morning.

Lin Mengya held the hemline and got out the door cautiously.

Was it because the servants in the mansion were all slacking off? With this doubt, Lin Mengya trotted all the way to the gate of the mansion.

However, as soon as she wanted to take a step, eight guards blocked her way at once.

“Princess, please go back to the mansion!”

The deafening voice startled Lin Mengya.

She opened her eyes wide and looked towards the eight dark faces. Ah! Where did these guys with poker faces come from!

“Go away. I’m going out!”

With a trace of rage in her eyes, Lin Mengya looked fearless, as if she was going to kill anyone blocking her way.

However, these eight guards were all carefully selected by Long Tianyu and had gone through professional training in advance.

These eight guards cooperated to surround Lin Mengya.

She moved forward, and they followed. She backed, and they followed.

They cooperated well and naturally in advancing and retreating.

Lin Mengya soon gave up the plan of breaking through the encirclement and stared furiously at the eight human iron pillars that were absolutely still.

Fine, fine, she surrendered, okay?

When she came to the yard and looked back, the eight guards had already disappeared in her view.

But it was estimated that the next time she walked to the door, they would surely show up swiftly.

“Long Tianyu, you got me!” She thought.

Qiu Yu was a little confused, looking at the partner who was keen to deal with various herbs.

However, with a cruel glitter in her eyes, she kept talking and cutting the herbs violently with a cutter, looking a little scary.

He dragged Baiji, who stood beside them to assist them, pouted his lips and wanted to ask what was going on.

“Shh, don’t piss off my Master. She has been banned from going out by the prince.”

Baiji quietly whispered to Qiu Yu. She had probably told Qiu Yu about Lin Mengya’s three unsuccessful attempts to get out today. In the room, in addition to the sounds of cutting the medicinal materials, there were two waves of laughter that they tried to hold back.

“What are you laughing at? Is it so amusing?”

The two heads close to each other were immediately separated. They immediately acted as if nothing had happened, looked down and worked on their own business.

However, with a slightly scary smirk, Lin Mengya held a bright chopper used for dealing with the roots of herbs and approached them step by step.

“No. We didn’t laugh at all. Master, I’ll go to find Ms. Tian and see if there’s anything I need to help.”

Baiji got a brainwave and ran away with an excuse.

Qiu Yu, who was left behind in the room, secretly complained, but had to put on a flattering smile.

“How dare I laugh at you? By the way, I’ve fed the medicine to the emperor yesterday, and it’s quite effective. The emperor has discharged a lot of toxins. But as expected, despite the emperor’s improved condition, he is getting increasingly weak. Without Prancing Dragon Herb, I am afraid that he can’t return to health completely in the future.”

With the sharp and bright kitchen knife right in front of him, how did Qiu Yu dare to piss off Lin Mengya!

He tried every possible way to get down the business and barely managed to survive from her rage.

“Rest assured. There will be no delay. I’ll set out three days later. There is a caravan in the Capital City going to the Nation of Lintian to do business. I want to dress up as a businessman and blend into them.”

Lin Mengya cast the kitchen knife aside and restored usual calmness.

Although Long Tianyu had grounded her, she had already seen through the temperaments of those guards and worked out the best escape route in less than a day. He wanted to ground her? In his dream!

“You are so... But if you want to go to the Nation of Lintian, you need the official document for entry and exit. As the princess, how can you get it in great secrecy? Besides, without Long Tianyu’s support, you can’t get Prancing Dragon Herb easily.”

With a somewhat inscrutable smile on his face, Qiu Yu seemingly considered that Lin Mengya could not completely solve these problems with the identity of princess.

However, he didn’t know, in addition to the Prince Yu of Jin State, she had another identity, the Hall Master of Sanjue Hall.

When the Sanjue Hall was established, she had asked Xiaoyu to help her forge another identity.

As long as she used the identity, she could be an ordinary businessman.

Regarding how to get Prancing Dragon Herb, there must be a solution. It was better to take action than to wait anxiously.

“Do you remember the cloth you used to wrap herbs last time?”

There was a trace of caution across Qiu Yu’s eyes.

However, Lin Mengya was thinking about her plan and did not find out.

Hearing his question, she just nodded. The stuff, which hadn’t been rotten after more than ten years in a wooden box, could be considered rare.

“Although my family has been practicing medicine for generations, we have traveled around the world. The cloth you used to wrap herbs that day does not seem to be ordinary stuff. I remember that there seemed to be a plum blossom pattern in the lower right corner of that cloth. I just took a glance at it, and don’t have a particularly deep impression on it. Nevertheless, the plum blossom pattern seems to be different from that of our Jin State. I heard that the people of the Nation of Lintian mostly like plum blossoms. Some clans even use plum blossoms as their symbols. You might as well study it carefully. If it belongs to an old acquaintance of your mother, would it be helpful to go there with it?”

Plum blossom?

Lin Mengya carefully recalled the details of the cloth, and realized there seemed to be a plum blossom pattern in the corner of it.

She glanced at Qiu Yu suspiciously. It was just a piece of cloth. Why could he figure out that it was related to the Nation of Lintian?

If that were the case, Qiu Yu seemed to be more than an imperial physician with his extensive knowledge.

Sensing Lin Mengya’s doubts about him, Qiu Yu shut up smartly.

He couldn’t explain it. Based on his understanding of Lin Mengya, he could tell that his explanation would only cause her misunderstanding.

It was better to tell her what he knew and let her find the answer by herself.

“If that were the case, it would really help me. Wait a minute, I’ll get it.”

Lin Mengya just gave Qiu Yu a meaningful look and turned out of the pharmacy.

Watching her slender back, Qiu Yu secretly felt relieved.

historical

Fortunately, she didn’t get to the bottom of it. However, with her intelligence, she would definitely find some clues.

There was a helpless bitter smile on the corner of his mouth. He hoped that he didn’t miss his guess this time.

Only Baizhi was packing in the room. Lin Mengya took out the cloth wrapping something from her bedside.

The cloth felt delicate and soft, not like made of cotton or leather. But it was unprecedentedly flexible.

After turning it over and checking it several times, she finally found a plum blossom pattern embroidered in the lower right corner of it.

The color of the flower had faded over time. It was grey and undistinguishable.

In fact, it looked nothing special, but she found it familiar.

“Master, what are you looking at?”

Baizhi came in curiously and asked lightly, and her gaze happened to fall on the cloth in her Master’s hand.

“Gee? Is this also Madam’s relic? This plum blossom looks like the one on your waist!”

Baizhi’s words made Lin Mengya stunned.

When was there a mark of plum blossom around her waist?

Baizhi took the cloth from Lin Mengya, looked at it carefully, and said with certainty.

“I’m quite sure. This is the plum blossom mark on your waist. I remember it clearly. There is a petal on the left side of this plum blossom longer than the others. You can’t tell it without looking carefully. I remember we had always slept together during our childhood. I remember clearly that it looks like this exactly.”

Lin Mengya strove to search in her memory and seemed to recall such a thing at the deep bottom of her memory.

Instructing Baizhi to close the door and windows, Lin Mengya neatly took off her clothes.

She stood in front of the mirror and carefully examined her body for the first time.

Her snow-colored skin was as white as congealed fat, and had gradually been separated from the original immaturity of a maiden.

Lin Mengya turned around. In a mirror a little higher than her, she managed to see a blood-red plum blossom on her slender waist.

She looked at it carefully and looked at the pattern on the cloth.

It was strange. They were really the same!

“Baizhi, is Miss here? Oh my god, it’s so cold, and you are not afraid to catch a cold.”

As soon as Ms. Tian entered the room, she saw Miss, who was almost half-naked, in a daze.
