Indeed, only by Lin Mengya's side would Long Tianyu feel at ease.
Moreover, there are many capable people around her, and the task of teaching Long Yinghua should be well arranged.
"After a while, my father may ask you about the details of the plague. Just tell the truth."
Long Tianyu gave Lin Mengya a few more instructions, but his father actually admired Lin Mengya's attitude.
Presumably, he 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 smiled more on his face. Compared with the extreme majesty in the morning, it 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 admired and admired this Mingzhu very much.
It seems now 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 resolute face.
It's just that he has lost a lot of weight compared to when he was in a coma, but those eyes full of shrewd wisdom still burst out with a domineering power that is hard to match.
Compared with his father, Long Tianyu looks like a young wolf that has just matured.
This person is the real ruthless character.
"In the beginning, when I was ill, I could only let those people do whatever they wanted to do about the matter between 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 was from the Lin family, so she was 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 carefully:
"Although my daughter-in-law has already made conjectures in her mind, she still has some doubts in her 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, my daughter-in-law dare not 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 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 leave to you two."
Anything else? Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu questioningly, but the other party also looked confused. It seemed that even he didn't know.
"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 it is the finest mutton-fat white jade.
Emperor Jin'an placed the jade tablet on the table and motioned for the two of them to come up and watch together.
Only when Lin Mengya stepped forward did she see clearly that there were actually messy red traces on the jade tablet. Among the red traces, there are 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 imperial grandfather, the imperial 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 that his father took it out, he didn't know what it meant.
Sighing slightly, the expression on Emperor Jin'an's soothing face and the way he looked at the jade plaque showed a hint of bitterness.
The big hand gently stroked 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 it. However, before I fell into coma, I once figured out how much this jade should belong 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 of 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 the 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 majestic 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 open up new territories and be willing to endure temporarily for the sake of the common people cannot help but be admired.
"Yes, I obey your orders."
Long Tianyu knelt down to salute, and took the jade token with both hands solemnly.
Emperor Jin'an looked at his son with a hint of relief in his brows.
"Okay, after you rest in the capital for a few days, you can set off immediately to Yunzhou. Also, 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 waking up, I have been working hard and my body is not as good as before.
After instructing the eunuch to escort the couple out of the palace in person, they went to their own palace surrounded by many servants.
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu and saw the worry in his eyes. She 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 out of the palace and go back to the house."
Outside the palace, Bai Ji, who was anxiously waiting for his master, 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 seems to be 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 palace maids who were responsible for watching over them were all as if they were facing formidable enemies.
Even the patrolling guards would look at them with a straight face.
She felt like a bird in a cage, being monitored 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 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 reports secretly coming and going from the palace ladies, 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 seems that the queen and the prince are really desperate.
