Chapter 293 Trying Best to Persuade Him

“Please hold on, Your Highness.”

Night stood in Lin Mengya’s way with a firm expression.

“Why? What are you and Long Tianyu planning about?”

Lin Mengya replied in an anxious voice. The reason that the empress had shown her hole card was that she tried to threaten Lin Mengya and stop what was going to happen.

It confirmed Lin Mengya’s guess that Long Tianyu told Night to stop her.

“Sorry, Your Highness, I can’t tell you anything.”

Their action was a top-secret that even those commanders who did not participate in did not know about it. Moreover, Prince Yu had ordered them that everything must go right, so, even if it was Princess Yu, Night could not tell her anything.

“Move out of my way! I must see Long Tianyu. Whatever you’re planning about, stop now!”

Now, Lin Mengya was sure that the real Concubine De was in the hands of the empress, and what had happened before now was confirmed.

The reason that Concubine De’s character and attitude toward Lin Mengya changed so dramatically was that the current “Concubine De” in Prince Yu’s mansion was not the real one but someone else in disguise.

From the concubine before, Yue Ting’s mother, to Concubine De, the empress was really good at using fake ones to replace real ones.

But why the empress would do that at the risk of danger? Lin Mengya was eager to know the answer, but it was not the right time to find out the answer now.

“Move out of my way, can’t you hear me? Night, if Long Tianyu really does something recklessly, Concubine... he will regret it!”

Lin Mengya almost blurted out the secret about Concubine De.

However, the moment she was about to speak out the secret, she suddenly realized that the empress must not want Long Tianyu to know about it since she only warned Lin Mengya.

If Long Tianyu knew that the empress imprisoned Concubine De, he would not swallow the insult and humiliation silently given his character, and Concubine De’s life would be threatened. After all, Imperial Palace was under the empress’s control.

Thinking of this, she swallowed the words that she was about to say.

“I beg you, Night, please let me see him.” “If he really does something recklessly, he will regret it.”

Lin Mengya held Night’s arm and said to him with pleading eyes.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness.”

Night withdrew his arm and drew out his sword which hung by his waist.

His prince had made the plan for a long time for the action that night, so, he could not let anyone ruin it no matter who it was.

“No, it’s me who should say sorry.”

Lin Mengya took one step backward, looking at Night with remorse in her eyes. Night looked toward Lin Mengya in confusion, and suddenly, a numb feeling struck his arm and climbed upward.

Just in several seconds, half of his body went numb.

“You—”

For the first time, Night had anger in his eyes.

Lin Mengya took out a black pill and sent it into Night’s mouth.

“Don’t worry, the effect of the pill will only last for an hour. I can’t watch Long Tianyu do something that he will feel regret about. I’m sorry, Night.”

Lin Mengya dragged Night to the corner where she just hid in, and after making sure that nobody would find him, she entered the side door.

However, delayed by the small episode, she did not see anyone after she went in.

She searched around carefully but did not find any clue. She was quite upset and wondered if she was too late.

“Who are you?”

An icy voice of a woman sounded behind Lin Mengya. Then, a sharp sword pressed against her neck.

“I don’t know who you’re, but I know you’re on Long Tianyu’s side. I got the news that whatever you’re planning tonight, you should stop it now; otherwise, Long Tianyu will regret it forever.”

The woman behind Lin Mengya drew her sword further from Lin Mengya’s neck possibly because she heard Long Tianyu’s name. However, the woman was still in silence, which made Lin Mengya anxious even more.

“I’m not joking. I’m Princess Yu, and my fate and his fate are bound together, so, you must believe me.”

The words “Princess Yu” sounded persuasive to the woman.

She withdrew her sword from Lin Mengya’s neck. Lin Mengya turned back only to see Long Tianyu, in an armor, look at her with a completed feeling.

Beside him stood a woman whose face was under a black veil.

“Why are you here?”

In his light armor with Qilin pattern, Long Tianyu looked handsome and chilling. Lin Mengya was shocked and wondered if he wanted to rebel against the royal palace.

“Whatever you’re going to do, stop it now, Long Tianyu! Or you will regret it, you will.”

Lin Mengya was both angry and worried. She was angry that Long Tianyu did not discuss with her before taking an action, and she was worried that if Long Tianyu really rebelled, what would happen to Concubine De.

“Go back, you shouldn’t have come here. I’m not that stupid to rise in rebellion, and what I want to do is just to save my father out.”

“Save his father out? Did he took a risk just to save the emperor out from the palace?” Lin Mengya thought to herself.

“I don’t oppose your plan of saving your father, but, please suspend it until I enter the palace and get a full understanding of the situation. If you take an action now, you will be regarded as a rebel. The empress and Crown Prince have known your plan. They may be waiting for you to fall into their trap.”

Lin Mengya tried to stop Long Tianyu anxiously. Since the Imperial Palace had been under the empress’s control, Long Tianyu’s plan might fail even if he used all his secret guards.

Once the empress had something on him and framed him into a rebel, he would not be able to justify himself.

“How did they get to know my plan? How did you know that they did?”

There were both shock and doubt in Long Tianyu’s eyes. He started to make the plan as early as half a year ago, and the reason that he wanted Lin Mengya to enter the palace was that he tried to have two strings to his bow for the plan.

“Well, you should enquire your underlings about it. Since it was a secret, how was it let out? I accidentally got to know about the unusual situations on the empress’s side. Even if you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything to prove it.”

Though seeing that Long Tianyu was a little persuaded, Lin Mengya could not tell him much more. She could only try her best to convince him. Fortunately, she knew well that Long Tianyu was a cautious man.

He would not take the action if he did not have all the confidence.

“Go tell all of our men to retreat.”

Long Tianyu turned around and ordered the woman in black beside him.

The woman nodded slightly and disappeared in the dark night.

Facing the back of Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya somehow did not know what to say or do. She had not communicated with him ever since that accident happened.

The confusion that what she should say or what she should not almost suffocate her like a huge stone blocking her throat.

“How did you get to know all of this?”

Just as she had expected, he threw the question at her again.

Lin Mengya pondered how to reply.

“When I... came out, I saw the palace guarded more heavily, and the whole place was lit brightly except for His Majesty’s bedroom. I thought it was done so on purpose.”

Lin Mengya racked her brain as she spoke out her reasons, her head low, her eyes rolling. She did not notice that Long Tianyu had turned around and looked at her with exploring eyes.

“I knew that too. I just wanted to know why you were so sure that the empress had known about my plan. What you said was just your guess.”

Lin Mengya’s heart jumped fast. She dared not to raise her head and she was determined to keep her secret.

After making up her mind, she looked up into Long Tianyu’s black eyes.

“I have my reasons, just like you have secrets. Since you keep your secrets from me, I will keep mine from you as well, and we don’t owe each other this way, believe it or not.”

Long Tianyu sighed as he saw her eyes full of stubbornness and walked over to her.

“Do you know that if my plan succeed, you won’t have to enter the palace and face the empress and Crown Prince?”

Confusion filled Lin Mengya.

She blinked her big clear eyes. She had thought that Long Tianyu would rush to her and question her aloud and that they would have a quarrel.

Why would Long Tianyu talk to her in such a gentle voice?

“You still don’t understand it? The palace is too dangerous for you. If I save my father out, you won’t have to enter the palace to attend to him, and both you and my father will be safe and sound.”

Seeing the tenderness in his black eyes, Lin Mengya felt completely at a loss like a child who had done something wrong.

“I... but you really need to act cautiously tonight. The empress is not as simple-minded as you thought. Considering the current situation, I have to enter the palace. Even though you don’t want to let me go, the empress won’t let me off.”

The secret was the empress’s Life-saving Charm yet Lin Mengya’s Life-taking Charm.

Obviously, the empress did not want to come into blows with Long Tianyu for the time being, so, she turned to threaten Lin Mengya with Concubine De.

However, once the dangerous situation was solved, those who knew the secret only have two choices.

One was to help the empress do evil things under her control, and the other was to be killed by her. Thus, Lin Mengya could not escape from her fate of entering the palace since she had been recommended to do so by so many officials.

“I know the empress won’t let you off, but I’ve sent out my men to recruit all the famous physicians in the world. Maybe in several days, we will find someone to replace you to enter the palace.”

At the words, Lin Mengya felt warm and moved.

It turned out that Long Tianyu had Sanjue Hall look for famous physicians all over the world just to have someone replace her.

“There is no need to do that. I have special status, so, it won’t be easy for the empress to find a reason to get rid of me. Besides, King of Chongshan and other seniors won’t watch me die and do nothing. Think about it, however powerful the empress is, she won’t be able to guard against so many powers. Go to change your clothes. Once the empress wants to get the better of you after you have struck, you’ll be put under a passive situation.”
