Chapter 943
Chapter 943 She Got the Master on Board
Lin Mengya nodded silently and smiled at Sheng Nankun, but there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Sheng Nankun immediately understood. He was not stupid. Of course, he could tell that his fiancee probably had a good relationship with his fellow apprentice.
However, he unconsciously clenched his fists on his knees.
If he had known that it would eventually lead to his own people, he wouldn’t have investigated it so as not to upset himself now.
But when he looked at Lin Mengya, who was talking happily with Lin Lang, he somehow had a strong belief.
If it were her, she would not disappoint everyone.
“Senior Brother Sheng, in my opinion, you’d better go back home with me.”
Lin Mengya took a sip of tea leisurely. These things should have been prepared by Elder Sister Lin Lang. Otherwise, how could these careless people have prepared so carefully?
“Well… It’s inappropriate.”
After thinking for a moment, Sheng Nankun refused Lin Mengya’s invitation.
However, he noticed Su Linlang’s expectant gaze. Even though they were engaged, Sheng Nankun was disguising himself as a monk now.
Although scandals about monks and the like were not popular in this dynasty, Elder Sister Lin Lang had been waiting bitterly for so many years. Naturally, she did not want to be separated from her sweetheart for a moment.
However, it was a disgrace to have a private meeting after all.
“I know you came here to stop the Crown Prince’s reinforcement, but it was snowing heavily now, and there was no chance for you to fight. I think it’s a good opportunity now. If you show up now and reveal your identity, some people will be intimidated.”
By now, Long Tianyu’s reputation had reached its peak, and most officials and commoners supported him.
If he didn’t do something now, he would miss a good opportunity in the future.
It wasn’t easy for them to obtain victory, so they couldn’t let that bastard destroy it again.
When it came to ascending to the throne, the sooner the better. If they waited, there would be more variables.
After thinking for a moment, Sheng Nankun said with a serious look on his face.
“We won’t do anything rebellious for abdication! We had no choice but to confront the Crown Prince. I don’t think you will allow it.”
Sensing Elder Sister Lin Lang’s eyes darkening obviously, Lin Mengya knew that Elder Brother Sheng’s stubbornness must have made Elder Sister Lin Lang speechless.
It would take quite a bit of effort to deal with such a one-track-minded man.
“Who says we are forcing the Emperor to abdicate? Senior Brother Sheng, aren’t you thinking too highly of me? Our Lin family has always been loyal and devoted. Do you think there will be a traitor in my generation?”
Lin Mengya pretended to be angry, which instantly made Sheng Nankun feel a little guilty.
Thinking about it, Lin Mengya softened her attitude.
“I think that if you go from the shadows to the light and rise to the occasion, it will be an absolute deterrent for His Majesty. Senior Brother Sheng, you don’t know, His Majesty has summoned the prince to the palace early in the morning. And I heard that the Crown Prince was imprisoned in his resting palace again.”
The reason why the Crown Prince was locked up in his resting palace was that the Emperor wanted to save his face so that others would not accuse him of harming his own son.
But when she linked these two things together with her intentionally misleading words, it sounded different to Sheng Nankun.
“His Majesty… He’s making a mistake,” he sighed.
Although Sheng Nankun was colluding with Long Tianyu, he was still loyal to the Emperor and the country.
If the Crown Prince was good, they would naturally support him. Even Long Tianyu believed so.
But now, the Crown Prince was not only ill-behaved but also crueler and more heartless.
For the sake of Dajin, they had to make the last resort.
“Senior Brother Sheng, I think you know His Majesty better than I do. Once he gets the power, something serious will happen sooner or later. In my opinion, it’s better to let His Majesty abdicate early so that he won’t make more mistakes in the future.”
Lin Mengya looked concerned about the country and the people, but only she knew that she just wanted to get Sheng Nankun on board.
As expected, Sheng Nankun looked serious and hesitant. Finally, he sighed heavily.
“Forget it. For the sake of Dajin and the people, I will be a rebel!”
Sheng Nankun waved his hand, and his handsome face was full of guilt.
Even though Su Linlang looked worried, the joy in her eyes could not be hidden.
Looking at the couple, Lin Mengya’s heart was filled with warmth.
Elder Sister Lin Lang had good taste. Although Sheng Nankun looked rough, he was a real man.
With him and Long Qinghan around, there would be no need to worry about the stability of the country.
Even if he was going from the shadows to the light, some things needed to be arranged carefully so that no one would have any evidence against him.
Now that the Crown Prince had lost his power, he and most of his accomplices had been arrested.
His force in the palace had also been purged. However, Princess Tiancheng had run away.
Moreover, the Shangguan Family had already left.
Presumably, they had run together with Tiancheng.
As for the ambitious Empress, it was said that she had been an idiot for a long time and was now a good-for-nothing.
Since the Empress had failed, the palace was managed by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui alone.
The Emperor didn’t say anything. Anyway, he was too busy sorting out the affairs of the royal court to care about the imperial harem.
Moreover, in his heart, he had always believed in the affection between the Imperial Noble Consort and him. So he trusted her enough to hand it over to her.
But he didn’t know that the Imperial Noble Consort was already united with her son and daughter-in-law.
He had truly become a loner.
Su Linlang was extremely grateful to her for bringing her back to Prince Yu’s Mansion.
From now on, she and her husband probably would not hesitate to do anything for Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya.
Of course, this was also one of Lin Mengya’s plans.
She would never be stupid enough to get no credit for doing others a favor.
“Master, you’re finally back. Prince Yu has been waiting for you.”
As soon as she returned to the yard, a second-class maid who served in the Liuxin Courtyard came up to her and teased her.
The maid was one of the loyal people who had followed Baiji and hidden around. She was naturally regarded by Lin Mengya as one of her own.
They certainly did not have much respect for the prince who doted on his wife as much as his life.
“You talk too much. Aren’t you afraid that Prince Yu will get angry and exile you?”
Baishao smiled as she pinched the maid’s cheek. Lin Mengya blushed.
She briskly arrived at Liuxin Courtyard. Before she could take off her cloak, she was wrapped in a warm embrace.
“Why did you come back so late?”
From above her head came his jealous voice. She took a deep breath. He smelt pleasant.
Since she entered the mansion, she had always liked to change Long Tianyu’s purse into a medicine bag.
Over time, his body was covered with the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs.
Every time she smelled it, it always calmed her down.
“I went out for a walk and met an acquaintance of yours. After chatting for a while, I came back in a hurry.”
Lin Mengya leaned into Long Tianyu’s arms and blinked her eyes.
She deliberately made it sound so simple because she wanted to see how surprised Long Tianyu would be when Sheng Nankun and others appeared in front of him.
“What acquaintance?”
Long Tianyu looked at the woman in his arms suspiciously. When he was about to ask more, he saw her raise her head in his arms and look at him seriously.
“You haven’t told me about your visit to the palace, have you? Your father must have forced you to marry another woman, right? Well, I know, there must be many women who want to sleep with you!”
She grabbed Long Tianyu’s collar in a coquettish manner, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.
Long Tianyu really loved how she looked now. She was obviously an overlord who had the power of life and death, but she always showed such a lovely and naive side in front of him.
How could he not fall in love with her?
He held her waist with his big hand and put her on the table with a little strength.
He bent down to look her in the eye, and his dark and deep eyes were already full of affection.
“I will never have another woman in my life.”
After he had married her, when she was brought back to life, he had become curious about her, a completely different person from him.
Later on, they went through thick and thin together, which made him firmly believe that she was the only one he wanted in this life.
Even though his father and his subordinates had advised him to marry another woman just to have children.
But even at that time when he thought she wouldn’t wake up and they were destined to be separated by death, he had never thought of marrying someone else.
She was the only place of his eternal peace.
He didn’t know about his next life, but she would forever be the only one by his side in this life.
Looking at his black eyes, Lin Mengya felt a rush of sweetness in her heart.
With a gentle smile, she wrapped her arms around Long Tianyu’s neck and kissed him gently on the lips.
At this moment, the silence was more powerful than words.
Their intimacy last night made Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya sweeter than ever.
The next day, Sheng Nankun entered the Capital City with his fake monk army casually.
As for the disguised empty temple, Lin Mengya sent some men from the Sanjue Hall to take over it.
Later, under the operation of Bai Shao, it became a famous temple inside and outside the Capital City.
Baishao, a shrewd girl, even discovered a business opportunity and quickly negotiated a few big business deals with the major temples in the country. She made a lot of money and contributed greatly to the dowry of her friends. Of course, this was a story for another time.
However, what made Lin Mengya happy now was that Long Tianyu, who had been deliberately sent outside the mansion by her, was stunned when he saw Sheng Nankun in military uniform.
The scene of him holding a portion of hot buns in his hand and staring at Sheng Nankun in shock made Lin Mengya laugh for a few days.
