"Princess, you are weak and weak, so you should eat some. Otherwise, in time, you will break your body, and Prince Yu will also feel sorry for you."
The sweet snacks were placed in front of Lin Mengya.
Although her stomach was already empty, she just picked up one with her thin fingers and put it back on Yu'an's handkerchief.
"You haven't eaten for a whole day. You must be starving. You eat first."
Lin Mengya's eyes turned back to the carriages and caravans lining up to go out.
She was afraid that she would miss Long Tianyu, and prayed in her heart that she would not be late.
However, she also knew very well. If it was for safety, most people would definitely choose to take people out of the city at night in dim light.
But the sun was setting, and the city gate was about to close in half an hour, but she didn't see any clues.
Could it be that it was because of her negligence that she let him go?
After thinking about it again, she thought it wouldn't be possible. Let alone a carriage that could hide people, even if it was a bucket containing swill, she wanted to get in and take a look.
After such careful inspection, let alone a living person, even a cat or dog could not slip under her nose.
Could it be that her estimation was wrong? Did those people leave a few days earlier? Or were they planning to leave a few days later?
However, there is one thing Lin Mengya is sure of.
The effect of keeping Long Tianyu alive is obviously greater than that of keeping his body.
But now, no matter how rational the analysis was, Lin Mengya was still deeply shocked in the face of the cruel facts.
if
Lin Mengya's heart tightened. If Long Tianyu was really transported out of the city, I'm afraid it would be a disaster.
"My lord, the city gate will be closed soon. I don't know if your lord has any other instructions."
The city gate officer was a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and said to Yu'an.
"My lord, there is no need to be so polite. I will ask my master later."
Yu'an is gentle and polite, without any arrogance.
This is what Zuo Qiuchen knows how to train. Generally, any servant who is close to him will have a little bit of his master's temperament.
Although Lin Mengya did not declare her family background, she could still live a noble and elegant life with the title of Prince Shen.
The city gate official also understood that this person must be a famous figure in the city - Princess Anle.
Although he is a small official, he is well-informed. No matter whether the princess is real or not, as long as she is a person who is in the heart of the emperor and the prince, he cannot offend her.
"Go and tell the city gate official to open and close the gate on time. This is a big deal, so we shouldn't delay him."
Lin Mengya had already heard the city gate official's words and gave her instructions in a low voice. Since people are willing to give her this face, she can't go too far.
He also asked Yu'an to take some silver notes to the city gate official, saying they were for extra meals for the brothers.
It's better to keep people busy all day long than in vain.
Rubbing her brows, she had been staring at him all afternoon. Zuo Qiuyu sent someone to inform him that he was going to attend a banquet in the evening and would not be able to come back until nightfall.
Fortunately, with Liu Xuan following us, there shouldn't be any big trouble.
Even if those people wanted to do something to Zuo Qiuyu, Liu Xuan would see through it.
On her side, she didn't gain anything at all today.
Lin Mengya's eyes were also a little sore. She rubbed them gently and saw that the people leaving the city were already in twos and threes, hurrying and hurrying away.
Seeing that her hope was dashed, Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Princess, don't be sad, my servant will accompany you again tomorrow."
Yu'an said with some worry, the princess had been busy from morning to night all day. If she was really exhausted, then Your Majesty wouldn't have skinned herself.
"Well, that's all we can do. Thank you for your hard work, Yu'an."
He curled up on the carriage and relieved the discomfort in his stomach.
Seeing that the city gate was about to close, she had no choice but to go back today.
But somewhere, she seemed to be able to sense that Long Tianyu would definitely appear today.
The surrounding residents hurriedly left the city, and the city guards also began their final inspection of the day.
There were no carriages or caravans, and the lights had been raised on the streets. After Lin Mengya sighed, she ordered Yu An with some disappointment.
"Let's go back."
"yes."
After all, the princess finally agreed to go back.
Yu'an immediately drove the car himself and drove back to Prince Baodi.
Lin Mengya was sitting in the carriage, but her eyes still did not leave the city gate.
In the dusk, the towering city wall gradually changed from large to small from her sight.
Just as he was about to look away, he saw a small sedan with a black awning on the opposite side, suddenly surrounded by four people, heading towards the city gate.
Lin Mengya, who was sitting in the carriage, also heard the four or five people talking about going out to find the doctor or something.
As her thoughts moved, she quickly called Yu An.
"I think the person in the sedan just now seems to need a doctor. Anyway, we have nothing to do when we go back. Why don't we go and see what's going on."
"Princess, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
Is it suitable?"
Yu'an stopped the carriage and looked at the princess with some embarrassment.
It was already so late, and there were no guards around them. If something happened, it would be difficult to deal with.
But Lin Mengya's attitude was resolute. After Yu'an sighed, he could only turn his horse's head and chase after the sedan chair.
In fact, Lin Mengya just didn't want to go back to Prince Baodi alone.
Even if she is busy with some things outside, it can always bring her a glimmer of hope.
The carriage sped along the deserted long street and soon overtook the sedan.
At this time, the sedan chair had stopped at the city gate. A man about forty years old was negotiating with the city gate official.
"My lord, just be okay. My eldest son is doing business outside, and his daughter-in-law is about to give birth, but all the women in the city say that my daughter-in-law's fetus is not in the right position. Only a woman named Zhao can save her life. I beg you.
Please, please let us out and give us a way to survive!"
The man begged so hard that he almost knelt down in front of the city gate official.
But the city gate had just been closed at this time, and the key had been lost. According to the law of the court, the door was not allowed to be opened unless it was urgent.
"It's not that I won't help you, the city gate is closed now. If I open it again for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the punishment."
The city gate official looked embarrassed. The man quickly took out a money bag from his arms and reached out to hand it to the city gate official.
But the city gate officer did not take it, but pushed it to the man.
If it were normal times, it would be accommodating.
It's a pity that now, dignitaries and dignitaries from all walks of life are gathered together. If he makes any mistakes and is caught by others, it will be bad.
"Is your wife giving birth?"
When the two sides were in danger, a gentle voice suddenly came.
The two of them looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and a slender and beautiful figure came gracefully.
"Miss, it's his daughter-in-law who is about to give birth. He said he needs to find a stable wife, but it's getting late now and the city gate has been closed. I'm really in a bit of a dilemma."
Seeing Princess Anle leaving and returning, the city gate officials immediately came to greet her.
The princess did not reveal his identity, so he was naturally willing to cooperate.
A respectful and courteous attitude, but I don't dare to neglect it at all.
"In this case, why don't I show it to your daughter-in-law first! Don't worry, I am a doctor. Moreover, I have some experience in gynecology. Even if this gate is opened, it will take a while.
.”
Yu'an had already called the city gate official to explain clearly and asked him to find someone to open the door.
The city gate officer is naturally happy , anyway, if anything happens, the princess will naturally be responsible for it.
I quickly found a team of people to come over and prepare to guard the door.
But as soon as Lin Mengya reached the sedan, she was stopped by two people.
Both of them looked very capable, but their expressions were a little unnatural. They seemed to be pretending to be anxious.
With a frown, Lin Mengya looked at these two people.
It's strange, if the mother is giving birth, why is there not even a mother-in-law or maid?
"You two, this is——"
"Miss, they are my nephews. My daughter-in-law has already fainted from the pain. Thank you for asking the city gate officer to let us out."
At this time, the man in his forties came to smooth things over again.
However, he did not mention anything about letting Lin Mengya see his daughter-in-law.
"If that's the case, then I'll go and urge you, so as not to put your daughter-in-law in danger."
Lin Mengya's expression changed, and she returned to her gentle look before.
He walked quickly to the city gate official and whispered something.
"Miss, what should we do about this matter?"
The city gate official's expression changed slightly, but he was not seen by those few people.
After Lin Mengya thought for a while, she deliberately raised her voice and said
"Since they are so anxious, why don't you hurry up and find more people? This is a matter of life and death. If it's delayed, I won't be able to spare you!"
The city gate officer nodded in agreement and immediately ran out to find someone.
But the soldiers who were about to open the door just now stopped their movements at this time. They were just pretending, but in fact, they were waiting for the next instruction.
"Miss, I wonder how long it will take before the city gate can be opened?"
After waiting for a while, some beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead.
While wiping it with his sleeve, he asked Lin Mengya.
"Come on, there's something wrong with the hinge of this door. So it's extra hard to push it open. Don't be too busy yet. He'll find someone soon."
Lin Mengya comforted her patiently, and what she said was reasonable.
However, that man became more and more anxious. Several other people were indifferent to the mother in the sedan chair, and instead frequently looked towards the city gate.
Lin Mengya was even more convinced at this time that this so-called pregnant woman must have a ghost!
"Forget it, let's not bother you two. Although my daughter-in-law has difficulty in giving birth, any woman who has not experienced three disasters when giving birth to a child. I'd better go back and go directly to the best doctor and stable woman!"
After waiting for a while, the man almost couldn't wait and wanted to leave with his people.
