Chapter 913
Chapter 913 Swearing to Cause a Disaster
“Your Highness, what’s the rush?”
Qinghu and Long Tianyu had worked together for a long time. But if it weren’t for Lin Mengya’s clever plan, he wouldn’t have seen Long Tianyu so anxious.
It was very interesting.
“Why is she here? Explain!”
He knew Lin Mengya well. When entering the palace just now, she had winked at him secretly.
Although it had only taken a fleeting moment, Long Tianyu was sure she must be restless again.
“Your Highness, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. My sister was sent here to get married. Don’t you know about this?
Qinghu wanted to seek revenge, so he teased Long Tianyu when replying.
But making fun of Long Tianyu was not the only reason he had said so. After all, Lin Mengya’s public identity could only be Zuo Yunxi who was Princess Rongan from now on.
She had used her connections in the Nation of Lintian without hesitation in order to be together with Long Tianyu openly.
Therefore, Qinghu was not talking nonsense.
Although Long Tianyu was anxious, he was smart.
It was related to Lin Mengya, so he forced himself to calm down and quickly figured out the reason.
She had abandoned her former identity and reappeared in front of the world as a princess who came to get married in order to stay with him.
They had deceived all the people. If they wanted to prevent people from scolding them, this would be the only resort.
Suddenly, he felt as if his soul had been taken away by her. However, he couldn’t pull her into his arms or teach her a good lesson now.
No! No matter what she turned into or what her identity became, she would remain his wife.
Therefore, a smile appeared on his handsome face.
But that smile looked a little sinister.
It seemed that he had to be deeply and romantically involved with Princess Rongan so that the Crown Prince and the other princes would give up.
When they had gotten married, their wedding had been held in haste for a lot of reasons.
It would be nice if he could give her a formal and grand wedding this time.
Making up his mind, he flicked the dust that did not exist off his clothes.
He had been so angry that his eyes had almost turned red, but now, he calmed down.
“That’s right. The princess is here to get married. Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law.”
Long Tianyu’s frown vanished, and then he smiled faintly.
He had called Qinghu “brother-in-law”, giving the latter goose bumps.
Qinghu put on a straight face and wanted to refute it, but then, he helplessly found Lin Mengya was too disappointing. She was so constant in love with Long Tianyu that Qinghu couldn’t rebut or make fun of him.
And he was aware of the order of importance and emergency. After all, he would have plenty of opportunities to tease Long Tianyu in the future.
Now, it was time to get down to business.
“It’s good that you know it. My sister is the cousin of the Emperor of the Nation of Lintian, so she looks a little like your deceased wife.”
When walking into the palace, Qinghu reminded Long Tianyu and Long Qinghan in a low voice, and the two nodded tacitly.
Lin Mengya must have made a plan since she dared to come under the name of Princess Rongan.
At the thought that the palace would once again get into chaos because of her, Long Tianyu felt a little happy.
Although the Crown Prince was not capable, he was a handsome man.
Surrounded by a group of handsome men, Lin Mengya generally felt not bad, even though they all had ulterior motives.
Among the four countries, the men of Dajin praised elegance highly, while those of the Nation of Lintian were handsome and romantic. As for the Nation of Dongxia, the men there seemed to have the style of the ancient western regions. But in the Nation of Lieyun, both men and women were seductively charming.
However, no matter how outstanding the other men of the four countries were, they could not compare to the man who was walking side by side with Qinghu and Long Tianyu.
Her dark and deep eyes were like magnetic stones, and she could not take her eyes off him at all.
He was standing amid a group of princes, and Qinghu and Long Qinghan were also among the most handsome men in this world.
But she thought Long Tianyu was more handsome than anyone else.
What a charming man!
“Princess, you had a long journey. Why don’t you have a good rest first? My father and mother will hold a banquet to welcome you and your brother. You can rest in the Ningqing Hall before it starts.”
The Crown Prince had tried his best to pretend to be a refined gentleman in front of Princess Rongan.
But he didn’t know the princess did not care about his performance at all.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Hearing the light voice of the veiled beauty, the Crown Prince smiled faintly, but his heart was burning with passion.
Although he could not see her face, she had a graceful figure.
Moreover, there was a hint of cold fragrance on her body. Although it was extremely faint, it was enough to turn him on.
He thought Princess Rongan was indeed a rare stunner.
A trace of disgust flashed across Lin Mengya’s eyes. Of course, she knew this hypocritical guy’s dirty designs on her.
She hadn’t seen the Crown Prince for a long time, but unexpectedly, he was still such a good-for-nothing.
She must endure it to achieve her goal. Otherwise, she would have long slapped his face and asked him to stop dreaming.
But it was not the time to do this now, and she must put up with it until the banquet began.
This time, she would force the Crown Prince and the Empress to keep their grievances to themselves.
No matter how reluctant she was, she had to separate from Long Tianyu for the time being in order to deceive the other people.
After Lin Mengya parted with the Crown Prince and the other princes, she was led to Ningqing Hall to rest by some palace servants and maids, which was her temporary residence.
According to the rules, it was not appropriate for a foreign princess to live in the palace.
However, the Emperor of Dajin knew that the Emperor of the Nation of Lintian loved his younger cousin very much and that the princess’s dowries were several times more than the betrothal gifts to the Empress of the Nation of Lintian.
Moreover, the Emperor of the Nation of Lintian had not only given her money and treasures but also twelve counties.
Although they were not important places, they were rich.
However, the Emperor of the Nation of Lintian was not a fool. He had said the finances of counties would be under the control of Dajin, but they would not be separated from the Nation of Lintian when Princess Rongan and her husband were alive
The twelve counties could be considered the territories of Dajin until she and her husband died.
As the ruler of a country, the Emperor of Dajin knew the reason well.
Although the emperor of Lintian was generous, he was still afraid that his cousin would be bullied after getting married.
With 12 counties as a bargaining chip, the entire Dajin would treat Princess Rongan very well as if she were their ancestor.
It was not easy to expand a country’s territories even in a war.
But if a prince managed to marry the princess, he could get not only a lot of dowries but also the financial resources of 12 counties for free.
Only fools would give up such a good opportunity.
However, there were really fools in this world.
Ningqing Hall was called a hall, but it was a real palace in fact.
It had a square courtyard. Entering the gate, Lin Mengya bypassed a wall and arrived at the main hall.
The interior of the hall was well decorated, and the incense had been lit to welcome the honored guests.
It was luxurious, and the royal family’s unique bearing was revealed.
She was just a princess from a foreign country, but even the legitimate daughter of the Emperor of Dajin could not afford to live there.
Qinghu snorted and said, “The Emperor of Dajin spent a lot of money this time. But I am not surprised. If you marry one of his sons, he will definitely make a profit.”
The princess and the young duke were honored guests. Even if the Emperor wanted to keep an eye on them, his men had to stay far away.
If these two Gods of Wealth got unhappy, he would suffer a great loss.
Therefore, Qinghu dared to speak without scruples now. Anyway, there were no outsiders around them.
“He spent a lot of money? But we will live here for just a few days and can’t take these things away. He will bring them back after we leave. They are just being placed here for the time being.”
The Emperor had schemed against her and destroyed the Lin family without hesitation for his own sake.
However, Lin Mengya could not hate him, but it did not mean that she would forgive him easily.
Therefore, she would snatch his most beloved son away in person and then take over the country together with his son, which he had made a painstaking effort to rule.
This was the cruelest punishment for such an ambitious man.
She had always been small-minded about such things.
“That’s true. Mengya, I’ve long wanted to ask you about one thing. You’ve actually asked your cousin to cede twelve counties this time. Why did you dissipate your family fortune like this?”
Then, he reached out to tap her smooth and delicate forehead with one finger.
Because only the two of them were present, Lin Mengya had long taken off her veil.
Before entering the city, Qinghu had used his unique skills on her.
Although her face still looked the same, her temperament was completely different from before.
It was also because of her special life experience over the past two years. Although she had always been pretty, she used to look a little childish in the beginning.
In the past two years, most of the things she had encountered and participated in were beyond the imaginations of others.
In addition, she was only 20 years old this year. In terms of appearance, she had changed a lot because of the twists and turns in life.
She could be called one of the most beautiful women in the world now.
Moreover, she had a graceful temperament and was decent in every move. And due to the poison in her body, she was giving off a fatal temptation.
The more poisonous a flower was, the more beautiful it would look.
Her previous temperament was like a rose blooming in the morning sunshine.
But now, she was like the Mandāra growing in hell.
If any man approached her, he might have to pay the price of his own life.
Of course, Lin Mengya had strongly demanded it.
She used to be too much like a good wife before, so she had told Qinghu that she wanted to be a seductive stunner this time.
Moreover, she wanted to be a stunner who could destroy a country like Helen of Troy.
But Qinghu did not know the story of the Trojan War. All the other women were pretending to be virtuous, but she had strongly demanded to become a seductive stunner.
But there was nothing he could do about her.
“I must do something shocking! Otherwise, people wouldn’t believe that I’m a beauty who can cause disaster. Besides, the Emperor of Dajin is smart. If it weren’t for these twelve counties, he would expose my identity soon. But now, he has to cover it up for me even though he was unwilling.”
