"Let's go, there's nothing to see now."
Zuo Qiuyu stood up and said to Lin Mengya with some sigh.
The qualifying candidates have been decided, and the so-called preliminaries have come to an end here.
There were more than thirty people in total, but only five qualified in the end.
This elimination rate was actually a bit beyond Lin Mengya's expectations.
I heard that these thirty or so people stood out from an audition of thousands of people.
Each one was once an extremely proud leader, but each mountain is higher than the other. It was full of surprises for Hou Lingyu and the other five to become the final winners.
"Well, but this matter is probably not over yet. Cousin, please find someone to protect these five people secretly. I always feel that those four elders are not economical lamps."
Convening a medical competition was actually not the intention of the elders.
It's because previous medical competitions would have this rule.
Since it is a competition of medical skills, not only the elders in the pavilion but also the famous doctors outside should be given a chance.
Besides, Hou Lingyu had a grudge against them.
Even Qian Yuming had to agree with this result on the surface. It is conceivable that the conspiracy behind it will only become more sinister.
These five people were Lin Mengya's pawns to disrupt Baicao Pavilion's inherent power.
Therefore, she had to protect her secretly.
"Liu Xuan has already sent people. He is very concerned about these people."
Zuo Qiuyu's words made Lin Mengya a little confused.
This Liu Xuan seems to have been missing for three days since arriving in the old capital. But everything has been arranged in advance.
I'm afraid, he is more than just a county guard.
"That's good. By the way, has our carrier pigeon been released?"
Outside, Nan Rui is giving his final speech.
Of course, it's nothing more than some scene talk. What followed was the pleasantries between the ministers.
However, after what happened just now, it seemed that everyone knew about her.
It would be better for her not to make do with such a harmonious scene.
"She has been let out. She left last night and almost injured the person guarding her. But don't worry, she hasn't been lost yet, she's just hidden."
They were talking about Sumei, who had been deliberately ignored by Lin Mengya.
Along the way, although Lin Mengya intended to let her communicate with the outside world, the frequency and method were all under Lin Mengya's control.
Now that the old capital has arrived, the homing pigeons she has raised for such a long time must be released to fly around a few times.
"Keep an eye on her. I think Hongyu will arrive in the next few days. Let them be more careful and don't let any news about Hongyu leak."
After getting up, Yu An followed Lin Mengya down to the viewing platform.
Zuo Qiuyu couldn't leave, and not all the people who came were from the old school. Among them, there are also royalists and centrists who do not want to offend either side.
Therefore, now is the best time to flirt and find a relationship.
However, if she were here, it would be troublesome.
After getting on the sedan, Yu An was telling the bearer to leave. A figure hurriedly stopped in front of the sedan.
"The common people are waiting for Lingyu to thank the princess for her great kindness."
Lin Mengya was sitting in the sedan chair and felt a little surprised when she heard the sound.
"Mr. Hou stands out because of his superb medical skills. What does it have to do with me?"
Although Lin Mengya's voice was not loud through the sedan curtain, it could be clearly heard in Hou Lingyu's ears.
At this moment, everyone is busy building relationships, and no one is paying attention to them.
Hou Lingyu felt relieved and said sincerely:
"Since the princess knew earlier, it was the grass people who heard the conversation between you and Zhu Jiajing, and also knew the grass people's difficulties, so she specially sent people to comfort the grass people, so that the grass people could calm down and continue the game. The princess did not blame the grass people, this is not Great favor, what is it?"
The curtain of the sedan was opened, and a pretty and smiling face looked out from inside.
Hou Lingyu just took a look at the stage and felt that the princess was beautiful and dignified.
Unexpectedly, now that I take a closer look, it is even more stunning and beautiful.
He is a rough man who only knows how to deal with medicinal herbs every day. I have never seen such a beautiful woman. She seemed to be blushing at that moment.
"It doesn't matter that I have been wronged and wronged. Those who are innocent will be punished. It's just that Mr. Hou, the Hou family was wronged and suffered much more injustice than I do today. If Mr. Hou really wants to do something for me, If I want to redress my grievances, I will go all out to explain the grievances of the Hou family. When the time comes, the grievances I have suffered will naturally be made known to the world. If sir understands, then I will have nothing to do."
The girl was arranged by Zuo Qiuchen in advance. Lin Mengya returned to the viewing platform and secretly gave instructions to the girl.
As long as he shows signs of giving up the game, let the girl tell Hou Lingyu that in fact, she already knew that Hou Lingyu was a witness.
If Hou Lingyu really wants to testify for her, he must compete well.
Therefore, Hou Lingyu was able to work hard without being distracted by Lin Mengya's affairs.
"Yes, the grassroots know."
Seeing that Hou Lingyu had understood what he meant, Lin Mengya nodded.
The sedan was lifted and gradually disappeared from Hou Lingyu's sight.
However, he looked deeply at the direction the sedan was leaving, thoughtfully.
Back at Prince Baodi, Lin Mengya had just entered the courtyard when she saw a pale Ling Ye standing at the door of the room, looking around.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, why aren't you lying on the bed?"
While Lin Mengya was talking, Yu'an had already helped Ling Ye into the house.
Perhaps because he had been hiding in the dark all year round, Ling Ye didn't know how to talk to others normally.
Moreover, because this was the first time that he was face to face with Lin Mengya without any concealment, for a moment, he could only lower his head and purse his lips, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry too much, cousin Chen is here. He will help us keep an eye on Long Tianyu's situation secretly. Moreover, I have a guess that Long Tianyu should not be in the Zhu Mansion."
Here, only Ling Ye came from Dajin with her.
In the absence of Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya and Ling Ye's worries were actually almost the same.
However, Ling Ye was not like Lin Mengya. Without the prince's order, Ling Ye could not mobilize any power.
People are like headless flies, not knowing where to start.
"Not in Zhu's Mansion? Will the prince encounter any danger?"
Ling Ye asked anxiously. Lin Mengya pondered for a moment before slowly exhaling.
"I don't think so for the time being, but there is one thing I haven't figured out yet. I originally thought that they caught Long Tianyu because they wanted to target my identity. However, with Long Tianyu's temperament, he is known to others. He will definitely not obey such a thing as coercion. Tell me, they are all from Lintian Kingdom, why do you need to expend so much effort to capture a prince from Jin Kingdom?"
Ling Ye shook his head. In his eyes, only the prince and the princess were the smartest.
Since the princess didn't even think about it, he must be even more confused.
But Lin Mengya, just after saying this, felt like she had some realization in her heart.
Yes, why didn’t she think of it earlier!
Although it is not of much use for the people of Lintian Kingdom to capture Long Tianyu, what if they colluded with the Jin Kingdom
You know, the prince and the queen are eager to get rid of Long Tianyu.
Moreover, now that the Emperor of Jin is in good health, there is no guarantee that the Emperor will not find out about the good things done by the Queen and the Prince.
So-
"Yu'an, please contact me immediately. In the past few days, all caravans entering and leaving the old capital must be carefully inspected. No, I have to go in person to feel at ease. By the way, help me contact Axiu and Mr. Guo , just say that I have something important and want them to help me do it!"
Ling Ye insisted on following, but if Lin Mengya hadn't told him harshly, saying that if he died on the road, it would cause trouble for him, so he reluctantly stayed in Prince Baodi.
Lin Mengya hurriedly changed out of her formal dress and just found an ordinary blue dress to wear.
Led by Yu'an, they arrived at the city gate for entry and exit.
Since the large wave of people entering the city had passed, only two city gates were open now. Lin Mengya still asked Yu An to take Zuo Qiuyu's post and visit the city gate officials in person.
Anyway, there is only one city gate to enter and one city gate to exit.
In fact, it didn't affect anyone entering or leaving the city. On the contrary, because it is organized, it is more convenient for everyone.
Lin Mengya hid in the carriage and carefully watched the passing caravans and vehicles at the city gate.
"Princess Princess, do you doubt that they will smuggle Prince Yu out?"
Yu An asked in a low voice, how could he not guess Lin Mengya's intention if he was as smart as he was.
Nodding, Lin Mengya stared closely at the passing vehicles.
If it was really as she expected, the Zhu family was actually colluding with the queen and prince, so they wanted to catch Long Tianyu.
So now, when the eyes of everyone in the city are drawn to the venue where the public can watch, it is the best time to smuggle Long Tianyu out of the city.
Who is Long Tianyu? Even if he was caught, he would be a big problem.
If it were her, she would also choose this moment to transport people out.
Because it was getting late, more and more people were leaving the city.
The city gate official was a good person, and he must have guessed that Lin Mengya was looking for something here.
Therefore, ordinary pedestrians do not need to be interrogated and can just go out of the city.
As for the caravans and carriages pulling large items, they were on the other side and were subject to interrogation.
Moreover, since the whole city is under martial law, interrogation is normal. Lin Mengya also knew that only in this way would the other party not be alerted.
Looking at it, I have been sitting on the carriage in a daze for almost an hour, but there is still no news at all.
On the other hand, Yu'an was looking at the princess sitting in the carriage with some worry.
Smartly, he went to the stall next to him and bought some fashionable and delicious snacks. He held them in his hands and placed them in front of Lin Mengya.
