Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 273 - The Sparrow Hawk, Goldie

Chapter 273 The Sparrow Hawk, Goldie

His answer finally, was to the point. Lin Mengya thought about it for a while, and did not speak yet.

She had guessed from confrontations with Xin Li that Xiaoyu was not one of the Xin family.

Wanyan, if her memory served her right, was the family name of the royal family in Lie Yun.

“Xiaoyu comes from the royal family?”

“Since Xiaoyu has been wandering about in society, he has not built a solid foundation yet. If you just let him inherit the mantle in such an abrupt way, he might become a target. How will you deal with that? I can’t allow anyone to hurt him. It’s okay to take him away, but promise me, no matter what, keep him safe.”

“If it’s related to the royal family, or the supreme position of being the king, Xiaoyu will have many difficulties waiting for him. But he has no power in Lie Yun, because he stayed in Dajin for so many years.”

“If he suddenly shows up in Lie Yun, others would purposely make difficulties for him, due to his identity.”

“We’ve thought about it. It’s common to have a young master fostered out to others. Besides, those in the know, have already passed away. But there’s only one thing. Young Master entered the Palace with you, Your Highness. Many people of Dajin would know him.”

Wanyan Lie had his own concern. The identity as an adopted son of the Lin family, could keep Lin Zhongyu safe in Dajin, but it could also be a hidden weapon.

After thinking about it, Lin Mengya calmly said.

“Lots of people have similar appearances. It does not matter. Besides, men of the Lin family tend to experience or toughen up in the military. As long as you make a good arrangement, the identity as an adopted son of the Lin family, will keep him safe in the future.”

No matter what, Lin Mengya still felt worried.

There was no perfect plan to strive for power and position.

Humanity would be the point in the end. But humanity was complicated and prone to change. No one could guarantee that he would hit the point and then escape, unscathed?

“Princess Yu is thinking ahead, but, Master has already thought it over. Don’t worry, Your Highness. Master wants young master back, not just to deceive the public. Master is old now and has only one son. That’s young master. Only young master can inherit his mantle. “That’s why Master sent me to bring young master back. I’m very glad that young master is talented and also has Princess Yu to assist him. I believe, he has a promising future!”

Wanyan Lie already said that, and Xiaoyu himself wanted to try. Although Lin Mengya was still worried, she could not stop him.

“Good. Leave it to me. He can leave after New Year.”

Unexpectedly, it was her first new year with Xiaoyu, and also the last one. Lin Mengya could not help sighing. Everything was going on in the way she could not understand.

“Thanks, Your Highness. Don’t worry. Young Master and us will appreciate you forever.”

Wanyan Lie made an obeisance by cupping one hand in the other at his chest. He felt grateful towards Lin Mengya, more than fear.

At that time, if she had not saved young master from those bastards and taken him back, he might have died.

After coming to an agreement with Lin Mengya, Wanyan Lie left quietly. Lin Mengya rested her chin in her hands, a lot of worries weighing on her mind.

When hearing footsteps coming from afar toward her, Lin Mengya sighed and said.

“I’m not in the mood. Leave me alone.”

But the footsteps still carried on, and then stopped next to her.

“Didn’t you hear me? I’m okay. Don’t worry about me.”

She thought it was her maid, because the four maids also felt sad and had long faces when they thought about Lin Zhongyu’ s departure.

Especially Baisu, although she was staying with the other maids, who were like her sisters, she still missed her country and her family.

That person was stubborn. Lin Mengya silently sighed and turned back. When she was about to ask, she saw a sparrow hawk in a cage. A pair of round, brown eyes were looking at her with curiosity.

Its gray feathers were shining and it was tilting its head. Lovely.

“This is—”

Lin Mengya raised her head and to her surprise, her tearful eyes found Long Tianyu.

His cool face cracked a gentle smile at her. Then, he whistled to the sparrow hawk, and it immediately turned around to look at Long Tianyu.

“Its name is Goldie, it has been trained and is very smart. I heard that lots of people in Lie Yun like to rear a sparrow hawk as a pet. It can deliver messages for you and Xiaoyu later.”

Lin Mengya was obsessed with his deep voice.

Then, tears came into her eyes, for no reason. She reached out her arms and held Long Tianyu, like a wronged child.

“I don’t want Xiaoyu leave. It’s too dangerous. He’s still a child. But I can’t stop him. That’s his destiny. Everyone has his own destiny, so does Xiaoyu.”

Long Tianyu stood still, at a loss for words.

But he put his hands on her back and gently comforted her.

“I want Xiaoyu to grow up, marry, and start a business, like an ordinary person. But now... Even I have no idea what difficulty he will encounter. Tell me, will he be safe in the end? Power, position, all of this looks glamorous, but it’s poisonous. I can’t feel at ease.”

Lin Mengya always tried to shield everyone around her. She could be his protector when he was in Dajin, but when he went back to Lie Yun, she could do nothing.

Lin Mengya rarely fell into his arms. Long Tianyu felt a little hesitant. To his surprise, she worried so much about Lin Zhongyu.

“If you really don’t want him to leave, I can help you stop them.”

Long Tianyu knew clearer than Lin Mengya about those people. He was always quiet in his daily life, but actually, when those people found Lin Zhongyu, Long Tiaohao already made a careful investigation into them.

It might be a little difficult for him to remove them. But he found it worthwhile, when he saw that Lin Mengya was so upset.

“No. I can’t!” “They are Xiaoyu’s family. I don’t know his real identity yet, But I know, if those people die, Xiaoyu will lose the chance to find his origin. Besides, Xiaoyu himself wants to leave.”

She felt better after crying.

After weighing the advantages and the disadvantages, she thought that it might be a subtle turn for Xiaoyu to leave.

Qinghu said that the court was going to choose a doctor for the Emperor, from the country. She knew that her father with other officials was making a path for her.

Perhaps the Empress would disagree strongly, and Lin Mengya would be the target.

It would not be good, if someone found out about Xiaoyu.

Everyone should have their personal experience, before they know whether it’s good or not. She believed that Xiaoyu would not do something stupid.

When she calmed down, she found herself lying in Long Tianyu’s arms.

Immediately, she felt awkward and moved away, and her blush was the color of the lotus.

She caught a glimpse of Long Tianyu. Both of them seemed to be closer to each other after living together in the same room. Lin Mengya was doubting that they were a couple.

Long Tianyu didn’t say anything, neither did she. Speaking of that, Lin Mengya felt it a little strange. In the era, they were already a legal couple, right?

“So what now? Falling in love after getting married?”

Long Tianyu felt lost and then struggled to retract his hands. He felt a little unwilling.

In the past, all kinds of women had tried to fall into his arms. Shy women, or sultry women. But before they managed to get close to him, he already cast them away.

But this time, when this warm, soft body left his arms, he felt at a loss.

She was always giving him a new experience.

“General Lin already joined many officials to submit a written petition to father, to invite a famous doctor from this dynasty. But the Empress and the Crown Prince have not given their consent.”

Long Tianyu had to say something political, when he found nothing to say.

“Did not give their consent? The Empress and the Crown Prince will not agree so easily. “But they’re keeping silent. I believe there must be something serious brewing.”

Lin Mengya doubted that the Empress and the Crown Prince had disagreed violently, at least. “Why would they be quiet, or were they coming up with a big plan?”

Long Tianyu regretted mentioning the Empress and the Crown Prince, and making her nervous. Suddenly, he saw the sparrow hawk.

“Oh, this little guy may make her laugh.”

“Do you want to know what else Goldie can do?”

After a while, Long Tianyu finally asked her.

Lin Mengya, who was losing herself in her thoughts, casually answered.

“Do what?”

Long Tianyu, at once, presented Goldie to Lin Mengya, as if he was presenting a treasure.

“It can deliver messages and hunt. It’s clever. It can find you wherever you are, as long as you carry this hawk call with you.”

Lin Mengya studied the gray hawk in the cage.

She had seen vultures and eagles in the zoo. They were ferocious, but none of them was as lively as this little guy.

At the moment, it was tilting its head and looking at her curiously. Lin Mengya felt excited instantly and at ease.

“You’re right. This little guy looks lovely. Let’s see what this little guy can do, together with Xiaoyu, okay?”

Her big eyes were looking eagerly at Long Tianyu, in anticipation.

Long Tianyu had to swallow his refusal. Even though lots of official affairs were waiting for him out there, he could not bear to see her disappointed.

“Okay, let’s go together.”
