Indeed, Long Tianyu would feel at ease only when he was by Lin Mengya's side.
Moreover, there are many capable people around her, and the task of teaching Long Yinghua should be well arranged.
"In a while, my father may ask you about the details of the plague. All you have to do is tell the truth."
Long Tianyu gave Lin Mengya a few more instructions, but his father actually admired Lin Mengya's attitude very much.
Presumably, it won't embarrass her.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
Outside the hall, the voice of the chamberlain was heard. Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu looked at each other, then respectfully stood at the door to greet them.
In private, Emperor Jin'an changed into regular clothes, and the smile on his face was a little more. Compared with the majesty in the morning, he was a little more kind.
"Let's all get up, we are a family, don't be too restrained."
In the side hall, there were only three of them, Long Tianyu. The emperor was sitting in the upper seat and ordered them and his wife to sit down.
Now, it was the first time that Lin Mengya looked at Emperor Jin'an carefully.
When my father was at home, he highly praised and admired this Mingzhu.
Now it seems that even though he has aged slightly due to the years, the shadow of the high-spirited young emperor can still be seen in that determined face.
However, he has lost a lot of weight compared to when he was in a coma, but those eyes full of shrewdness and wisdom still burst out with a domineering aura that is hard to match.
Compared with his father, Long Tianyu looked like a young wolf that had just matured.
This person is the real ruthless character.
"At the beginning, when I was ill, I could only let those people do whatever they wanted to do with you and Yu'er. However, it was Yu'er's good luck that led to a good relationship. I will make up for your Lin family."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Mengya lost any temper.
As a monarch, the emperor should not have explained so much to her. However, what he said made it impossible for himself and the Lin family to have any resentment towards the emperor.
"My father's words are serious, and my daughter-in-law cannot afford it."
Lin Mengya was very well-behaved. Emperor Jin'an looked at this sensible daughter-in-law and nodded.
Yes, she is from the Lin family, so she is very different from ordinary women.
At that moment, I made a decision in my mind.
"I heard from Yu'er that you have a lot of insights into the plague. I called you here today because I want to know, is the plague really man-made?"
Lin Mengya raised her head and glanced at the emperor.
Seeing that he seemed to have an idea, Lin Mengya thought about it for a moment before answering cautiously.
"In my daughter-in-law's heart, although I have already made a guess, but I still have some doubts in my mind before conducting on-site investigation and verification. There have been precedents for plagues in the past dynasties, and the actual situations are also different. Therefore, the daughter-in-law does not
Dare to jump to conclusions."
When Emperor Jin'an saw what Lin Mengya said, he already knew what she was thinking.
However, even men talk about the plague in a nonchalant manner.
She went to a girl's house rashly, wasn't she going to die?
His eyes fell on Long Tianyu, and to his surprise, he saw a trace of tenderness flashing in the eyes of this usually indifferent son.
Alas, why can't the men of the Long family always escape a single word of love?
"In this case, if I send you to Yunzhou, will you really be able to find out the truth of the matter? Yunzhou is the ancestral home of the family, and you know the pros and cons."
His tone suddenly turned serious.
Lin Mengya stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Back to my father, although my daughter-in-law is young and ignorant, she can only contribute to small matters such as treating diseases and detoxifying. However, Prince Yu must have thought carefully about it, and my daughter-in-law is only doing her little bit."
Hearing what Lin Mengya said, Emperor Jin'an couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Since ancient times, women were not allowed to participate in politics. He was afraid that his son would marry another ambitious woman.
In this case, the harem may never have peace. Moreover, the Lin family holds military power. If Lin Mengya is too ambitious, the Jin Kingdom will fall into civil strife again.
Therefore, he couldn't help but want to test and hit Lin Mengya with a few words.
"Well, if you say that, then I feel relieved. However, this time you go to Yunzhou, I have more important things to do, and I want to leave them to you two."
Is there anything else? Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu questioningly, but the other party also looked confused. It seemed that even he didn't know about it.
"Father, please speak."
Emperor Jin'an looked at the two of them solemnly, and then took out a jade medal from his wide cuff.
The jade plaque is about the size of the palm of your hand and is crystal clear white. At first glance, you can tell that it is the finest mutton-fat white jade.
Emperor Jin'an put the jade tablet on the table and motioned for the two of them to come up and watch it together.
Only when Lin Mengya stepped forward did she see clearly that there were chaotic red traces on the jade plaque. Among the red traces, there were also a few small black spots.
At first glance, there is no clue.
But after Lin Mengya carefully identified it, she vaguely felt that this thing looked like a miniature map!
She subconsciously used the Shennong system to scan it in, but for a moment, Lin Mengya couldn't figure out what the lines on the jade plaque meant.
"Father, isn't this - isn't this the jade plaque that the emperor's grandfather never left his body? Why did it become like this?"
Long Tianyu was a little surprised. Others didn't know this, but he knew it best.
At first, because the concubine's mother's family had a close relationship with the emperor's grandfather, the emperor's grandfather regarded him in a different light.
He was actually left in the palace by the emperor's grandfather, so he had the opportunity to see such a personal thing once or twice.
However, the Jade Emperor Grandfather always kept it close to his body and never showed it to others easily.
Now, when his father took it out, he didn't know what it meant.
Emperor Jin'an sighed slightly, and the expression on Emperor Jin'an's soothing face, as he looked at the jade plaque, was filled with a hint of bitterness.
His big hand gently rubbed the warm surface of the jade plaque. Then he solemnly pushed the jade plaque in front of Long Tianyu.
"This jade tablet once led the Long family to conquer the world and establish a hegemony. Therefore, the emperors of all generations will use it as a token and never leave their bodies. However, before I fell into coma, I once figured out how much this jade tablet belongs to.
The secret of the card. Now that Yunzhou is causing trouble, who knows it is not a warning to me. Although I will not give in, the people in the world are so innocent. Now, I am afraid that this jade card has become the target of public criticism. You two
People are the people I trust most, so I hope you can keep this jade token from now on. The secrets of the Long family must be completely destroyed by me."
There was reluctance and disappointment in the strong tone, but there was no trace of regret.
Lin Mengya looked at the calm expression on Emperor Jin'an's face, and she understood why her father and those clans chose to support Emperor Jin'an.
Everyone has ambitions and desires.
As an emperor, if you stand farther away, naturally, you will want more.
But not everyone will choose to restrain their desires for the sake of the people.
An emperor who can put aside his ambition to expand his territory and be willing to endure temporarily for the sake of the common people cannot but be admired.
"Yes, I obey your orders."
Long Tianyu knelt down to salute, and took the jade plaque with both hands solemnly.
Emperor Jin'an looked at his son with a hint of relief in his brows.
"Okay, you guys rest in Beijing for a few days, then set off immediately to Yunzhou. Still Yes, you did the right thing in the court today. I know your thoughts, and I will definitely find out the whereabouts of your mother and concubine. Just go with peace of mind."
Lin Mengya frowned slightly when she heard that Emperor Jin'an mentioned the matter in the court again.
There was a trace of doubt in my heart.
After all, what happened in the court, even the emperor seemed to be helpless if he could bear it.
After talking for so long, Emperor Jin'an's face gradually became full of exhaustion.
Although Zuo Qiuyu tried his best to preserve the emperor's foundation, after all, the emperor was already a few years old. In addition, since he woke up, he had worked hard and his body was not as good as before.
After instructing the eunuch to personally escort the couple out of the palace, they went to their own palace surrounded by many servants.
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu, saw the worry in his eyes, gently stretched out her hand, and held his rough big hand.
"It's okay, everything will be fine."
The soft voice seems to have magical power.
Long Tianyu turned back and held the soft little hand tightly.
Yes, she is still here.
"Let's go, let's leave the palace and return home."
Bai Ji, who was waiting anxiously for his master outside the palace, was very happy to see his master and the prince.
However, she soon suppressed her smile and followed Lin Mengya without a smile.
This palace - it seems, has become different from before.
In fact, she couldn't say what was wrong, but she always felt that it was a bit more boring than when she came before.
Moreover, the eunuchs and maids who were responsible for watching over them all looked like enemies.
Even the patrolling guards would look at them with a straight face.
She felt that she was like a bird in a cage, being monitored by others everywhere.
Now, he will be able to leave the palace soon, but it is just like a bird being released from its cage.
The sedan chair returned smoothly from the Imperial City to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Before leaving the palace, Long Tianyu had already sent someone to inform Concubine Xian.
According to the secret reports from the palace maids, Concubine Xian will send someone to take the tenth prince to Prince Yu's residence in the evening.
Long Tianyu paid great attention to it, so Lin Mengya also had to think carefully.
Unexpectedly, the situation in the palace was so unclear. It seemed that the queen and the prince were really desperate.
