Chapter 850 Hide the Truth from Her

Lin Mengya nodded. Long Tianyu had told her about this before.

Although she was a little reluctant to part with him, she was not a shortsighted person.

Moreover, given the current situation, she would be able to return to the Jin State to meet him soon.

Although she would be tortured by the temporary separation, she had something to look forward to after all.

Qinghu was heart-broken when he saw Lin Mengya act as bashfully as a little woman at the mention of Long Tianyu.

“Then do you know why he has to go back so soon?” Qinghu asked in a slightly stern voice.

Lin Mengya looked at him in confusion and said, “He’s been away for so long. It’s time for him to go back and have a look. After all, the Crown Prince and the Empress are formidable. Qinghu, what’s wrong with you?”

With a bitter face, Qinghu suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Lin Mengya’s shoulders tightly. There was a look of reluctance in his eyes, but he could not bear to see her kept in the dark.

“He... Forget it. It might be well that you have no idea. Baisu, take good care of her. I’ll think of a way to enter the imperial palace to accompany you in a few days.” As Qinghu said, he loosened his grip dejectedly and looked down.

This was something between the two of them. Regardless of the result, she should learn the truth from Long Tianyu.

In any case, he would stay by her side, no matter whether she was in the Lieyun Empire or the Jin State.

“What on earth happened? Why are you so hesitant?” seeing Qinghu turn to leave, Lin Mengya could not help but grab his arm and asked softly.

With a helpless and bitter smile, he ignored Lin Mengya’s request for the first time and got out of her sight in a hurry.

“He is truly strange,” Lin Mengya murmured, feeling a little uneasy.

Qinghu had never acted like this before.

What on earth had happened so that he became so hesitant all of a sudden?

She turned around, only to see Baisu try to hide the panic in her eyes in a hurry.

“Do you also know something?” she fixed her eyes on Baisu and asked.

Baisu immediately panicked.

She fell on her knees heavily with a pale face and said, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you, Miss. But young master told me that I must not tell you about it easily.”

Hearing Baisu’s sincere words, Lin Mengya became increasingly confused.

She grabbed Baisu’s arm and pulled her up from the ground.

Then she said, “Just tell me. I’m not as fragile as you think. I should not have hidden Prince Yu’s visit from you. But he’s going to leave soon. What do you have to hide from me?”

Baisu looked at Lin Mengya anxiously. If Prince Yu didn’t come here, she could continue keeping this secret.

However, since Prince Yu had come, it was apparent that Lin Mengya had met him in secret.

In this case, it was a little unacceptable that Prince Yu did not mention a word about it.

Baisu said, “I don’t dare to hide it from you, Miss. In fact, a few months ago young master received the news that after conducting a funeral for you, Prince Yu took Princess Linlang into Prince Yu’s Mansion to take charge of family affairs, and the Emperor of the Jin State has arranged a marriage for Prince Yu. Two months later, Prince Yu is going to marry someone else as the new Princess Yu.”

Was... was he going to marry someone else?

Lin Mengya felt dizzy, as if she had lost all her strength.

“Miss! Miss, don’t be sad. Maybe, maybe it’s a misunderstanding!” Baisu held Lin Mengya tightly and said in distress.

Lin Mengya showed a self-mocking smile, and her eyes were filled with tears when Baisu did not notice.

“I’m fine. Let’s go back to the imperial palace,” Lin Mengya said.

She struggled to stand firm, while her mind was occupied by the intimate time they had on those nights.

Long Tianyu had never kept anything from her. Moreover, he would have mentioned such a serious thing to her.

Unexpectedly, she learned it from Qinghu and Baisu.

Did he have to go back in a hurry because he was going to marry someone else two months later?

Lin Mengya was aware that she should ask him, but she felt so weak all over that she could not even stand firm on her own.

That made sense. In the eyes of others, Lin Mengya, Princess Yu for whom Prince Yu had a deep affection and the First Miss of the Lin Family, had passed away.

In what name could she continue holding the position of Princess Yu now?

After thinking all kinds of nonsense on the way, Lin Mengya was thrown into confusion.

With a maggot in her brain, she returned to the imperial palace and then the Fengyu Court where she temporarily lived.

She just got a rough idea of what Baisu said to comfort her.

She had lost her composure.

“Miss, no matter what others say, you should ask Prince Yu personally what on earth is going on, right?” Baisu, who had qualms about leaving Lin Mengya alone in her room, squatted down in front of Lin Mengya and said in great distress.

“Yes, I should ask him myself. You’re right. We’ve gone through all these ups and downs together, and I know his feelings better than anyone. I must ask him before making any decision,” Lin Mengya muttered to herself, while seeming to convince herself to trust him.

She had confidence in Long Tianyu’s feelings for her. There was no room for anyone else between them.

Therefore, she decided to give Long Tianyu a chance to confess.

“Okay. Miss, calm down. I also have confidence in His Highness and believe he won’t betray you,” Baisu said.

She felt a little remorse. In fact, she learned it by accident.

She had intended to keep it a secret, but she did not expect Qinghu to arouse Lin Mengya’s suspicion today.

At the sight that Lin Mengya, who had always been tough, became like this, she was heart-broken.

Lin Mengya tried hard to suppress her uneasiness, recalling that Long Tianyu had said that he would often come to the imperial palace to visit her before he left.

Since Qinghu showed up today, he should have time to visit her.

Leaning against the window, Lin Mengya looked up at the sky and let out a sigh quietly.

If he really married someone else, was she going to wait for his visit with expectation every day as she was doing at the moment?

She lowered her head with a slightly bitter face.

No, she would never do that!

She would not allow another woman to get involved in her relationship or marriage.

If Long Tianyu really disregarded her feelings and betrayed her, she knew that she would break up with him and forget their unforgettable relationship forever.

She was so selfish and stuck to loyalty in a relationship.

“Are you waiting for me?” She had no idea for how long she had waited before she heard Long Tianyu’s low and teasing voice.

Slightly startled, she concealed the complicated emotions in her eyes.

Then, she looked at him with a faint smile and said, “Yes, I’m waiting for you.”

There was a hint of bitterness in her gentle voice, but Long Tianyu failed to notice it.

He put his arms around her and said with a rare smile on his handsome face, “I really want to bring you back with me. Ya’er, leave with me.”

Despite knowing that he was joking, Lin Mengya really wanted to agree to his request recklessly.

However...

Apart from the businesses of the Candle Dragon Cult and the paradise city, now their relationship became a little confusing.

Lin Mengya was about to agree to his request, but eventually swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue.

She said, “Now is not the time.”

She leaned her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeats.

His black cloak was placed on the chair at the door by him. Finally, her nose was filled with the faint fragrance of medicinal materials from him.

How she wished time could stop at this moment.

“I know. It won’t take long. Trust me,” Long Tianyu said.

He held her hands and stared at her with his deep eyes, thinking he would always keep the stars all over the sky they saw that night in mind.

Gazing at him who was affectionate, Lin Mengya got a lump in the throat.

She subconsciously dodged his eyes, rested her head on his shoulder and asked, “Are you going back to handle any emergency? Although I am not going back with you, I can still offer you some advice.”

She could hear her trembling voice, although she had tried hard to restrain herself.

Only she knew how desperately she wanted to hear his answer.

historical

Seeing her meek side that he rarely saw, Long Tianyu only felt the woman in his arms won his heart gently and meekly.

He carried her to the soft couch and sat there. It would not take long.

After getting all things done, she would return to his side.

“No emergency. Stay here and take good care of yourself. Wait for me to take you back,” Long Tianyu said.

Heh... she mocked herself for being silly.

She still expected him to confess at this moment.

“Okay, I’ll take good care of myself. You too. If you have nothing important to talk about with me, I want to go to bed early tonight,” she said.

Leaning her head on Long Tianyu’s shoulder, Lin Mengya felt heart-broken and bitterly disappointed in him.

Why didn’t he take the initiative to tell her that he was going to marry someone else?

Was he afraid that she would try to stop him? Or did he think that if he continued hiding it from her, once he married someone else, she, who had a deep affection for him, would have to accept it despite her reluctance?

Either of the possibilities could break her heart.

She knew that she was not generous enough to share her husband with someone else. She could not do that, nor did she want to.

“Okay, go to sleep,” Long Tianyu said.

Watching her lying obediently in his arms, he felt a deep affection for her.

He gently placed her on the bed and tucked her in.

After that, he kissed her forehead and fixed his eyes on her sleeping face, thinking that he was the luckiest man in the world.

Lin Mengya began to take long breaths slowly. After making sure that she had fallen asleep, the black figure left reluctantly.

The moment the black figure disappeared in the side chamber, Lin Mengya opened her eyes in the darkness with a teardrop falling from her eye.

There was probably no way to fix their relationship.

The night was dark as ink. Long Tianyu, hiding in the dark, left the imperial palace according to the secret route offered by Mr. Zhu, successfully avoided all spies and returned to their temporary lodging in the inner capital city.

“Where is Qinghu?” As soon as he entered the courtyard, he inquired about Qinghu’s whereabouts in a deep and low voice.

After getting a definite answer from one of his men, he walked to the backyard.
