"This is..."
Lin Mengya took the small cloth bag. It felt stiff. She opened layer upon layer of silk handkerchiefs and saw a golden breastplate inside.
"It was left by an ever-victorious general. It's said that the breastplate was made from a meteorite. I know that the young general always encounters danger when he fights in the battlefield. So I think that it might help to keep him safe, even if it is for once."
Shangguan Hui seemed very bashful, but an expression of determination could be seen in her eyes.
Lin Mengya saw it clearly. Miss Shangguan, the pretty lady, really liked her big brother.
But a feeling of being sorry and a sense of guilt came to her mind.
Without her, Yue Ting and her big brother would have been a happy couple united by Heaven.
"If brother also likes Shangguan Hui, I won't stop them. But if not, I won't force brother to marry her."
Shangguan Hui bl
After hesitating for a while, Long Tianyu started to speak very carefully. "I believe you've realized that. Dajin, in fact, isn't controlled by my father alone. To be more precise, the reason why Dajin is not in a mess yet, is that someone is governing internal affairs and holding the fort." Long Tianyu was watching Lin Mengya as he spoke. When he found that she was not surprised, Long Tianyu felt relieved. Lin Mengya was really smart. It was possible for her to seek out the clues from the information she received and to draw such a conclusion. But what he was going to say next was indeed something she should know. "They will not show up often to interfere in our affairs. But when it comes to the throne or the stability of our country, they will take action to interfere, if necessary." Lin Mengya got what Long Tianyu was implying. After all was said, it remained the statement that women
"How's Teacher? I'm afraid he's burning too much energy. If he can't bear it, that would be too bad." Facing Yunzhu, the prospective wife of her teacher, Lin Mengya was naturally gentle and respectful. Yunzhu's beautiful eyes were full of deep concern for her teacher. "The Hall Master is right. How about destroying that harmful thing? I'm afraid if he continues like this, he'll die sooner or later." As she spoke, Yunzhu lifted her hand up and wanted to destroy the Scarlet Ginseng. "Hold on!" Lin Mengya immediately stopped Yunzhu and stood in front of the jade basin. "It's the lifeblood of Teacher. If you destroy it, Teacher will die too." Yunzhu was stunned and immediately retracted her hand. With her eyes widened, she looked at Lin Mengya, who sighed and then explained to her the stakes in that matter. "How could... this be... Is there nothing
"I'm leaving now. You may do your own work." Lin Mengya cleverly left Long Tianyu's study. As soon as she went out, she almost ran into someone. "Sorry... Your Highness! What a coincidence that I meet you here!" A slightly familiar voice abruptly sounded from above her head. Lin Mengya lifted up her head and was surprised to see Qiu Yu. "So strange. Wasn't this person in the palace? How could he appear in Prince Yu's Mansion?" "Why are you here?" Lin Mengya was a little curious. Before she left the palace, she did tell Qiu Yu how to contact her. After all, the situation in the palace was quite complicated. If she wanted to detoxify the emperor, she had to keep communications with Qiu Yu. But he had searched for her on his own. "Is there something unexpected happening about the emperor's body and he cannot handle it?" Seeing no one
Qiu Yu was the first to find the solemn atmosphere overwhelming. While he could hardly suppress the smile in his eyes, he had to straighten his clothes and sit up properly in the study, and maintain a severe expression. "Your Highness, the prince, is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Qiu Yu could not smother the chuckle in him at the sight of Long Tianyu's somber expression. Long Tianyu shot a look of disdain at Qiu Yu with his narrow yet deep-set eyes, and with a rather hostile tone, he said, "In what way have I misunderstood?" While the somewhat slow mind of Lin Mengya was still unaware of the situation, Qiu Yu, on the other hand, was sharp and observant. This was none other than a man's possessiveness towards the woman he had become enamored with. Nevertheless, Lin Mengya was no ordinary woman. Perhaps she might not be comfortable with the prince's overpowering jeal
"Are you going away? Where will you be going, Your Highness?" A casual question on Lin Mengya's part brought a frown to Long Tianyu's face suddenly, which turned into awkwardness. "It's the time of spring that we plow the land, but many places are suffering from calamities. For this reason, the Crown Prince has commanded me to patrol these places to ensure that the plowing starts promptly." Lin Mengya nodded as though she understood. Indeed, in times of low productivity during ancient times, the nations relied heavily on springtime plowing and planting for survival. If this matter was delayed, it would affect the survival of both the nation and her people. One should not take this lightly. "You're right, Your Highness. This is indeed an important matter. Do be careful on the way. There would be trouble if the Crown Prince and the queen plot against you, while you're on your journey." She supposed no
Soon Baiji and Baishao returned with the information that Lin Mengya wanted. Those few rolls of fabric belonging to Concubine De were untouched. The women in the kitchen also confirmed that Concubine De had not asked for any red birdnest. Where on earth did Yun Ruo get those red birdnests as a reward? Was it even possible for the fine linen clothes and red birdnest to appear from nowhere? Moreover, it was apparent from Yun Ruo's attitude that she did not really care much about these luxuries. Where did this young maid acquire such extensive insight from? These bits of information were pieced together and provided her with the final answer. In Lin Mengya's mind, a vague answer was taking form. Yun Ruo's identity was definitely not as simple as that of a maidservant. For the imposter of Concubine De to have created such a stir, Lin Mengya supposed half of the reason would ha
Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu were in a discussion about the prescription at the moment. They had just managed to put together part of the prescription and were talking about its effect, while standing in close proximity. It was at this moment that Long Tianyu appeared at the door. "I have come to see how things are going with you." Long Tianyu averted his eyes, but the feeling of anger rose when he spied the close proximity between the two of them. Lin Mengya was not a person who bothered about trifles, and this could clearly be seen from the way she interacted with Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu. However, how could Qiu Yu, being a physician from the Court of Imperial Physicians, not be aware of such protocol? "Our progress has been very smooth so far. I'm sure we will be able to produce the antidote soon. Don't worry, Your Highness, no matter what the outcome, I'll make sure you are the first to be informed." Lin Mengya's respo
"Is he still frequenting that kind of place? Didn't the queen reprimand him?" Long Tianyu was a little perplexed. To him, the Crown Prince may be willful at times, but he should not be so muddle-headed. The Crown Prince knew best what the situation was like. If he was lucky, he would have a meteoric rise and ascend the throne. He would be courting destruction if he lingered about at courtesan houses. "How could the queen restrain him? I heard that there are two very beautiful ladies in Bright Moon Courtesan House, who became the queens of flowers. One of them is Qi Xia. Not only is she devastatingly beautiful, but she is also educated and considerate. The Crown Prince could not put her out of his mind, after meeting her for the first time. They quickly became close. What was even more unexpected was that shortly after, Qi Xia was carrying the Crown Prince's child." There was a mocking tone in Long Qinghan's words.
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
