This unexpected surprise gave Lin Mengya more room to play.
Her face was full of grief. At this point, she was no longer just a princess.
More than that, she was a heroine who was willing to sacrifice herself to save others.
“I’ve made up my mind. You don’t have to persuade me. In fact, Prince Yu is in the same dilemma as you are. However, for the sake of the people in this world, I hope you can fulfill my wish, Your Highness.”
Even Long Tianyu didn’t know how to respond to her excellent performance.
After glaring at her, he let out a heavy sigh behind everyone’s back.
There was reluctance, determination, and helplessness in that sigh.
“Thank you for kindness, Your Highness. I’m very grateful to you.”
Lin Mengya bowed to Long Tianyu with tears in her eyes.
The show came to an end. Not only had the Fire Glossy Ganoderma made the two of them famous, but it had also built a lofty image for Long Tianyu in everyone’s hearts.
The crowd was sent away by the guards. When there were no outsiders left around, Lin Mengya suddenly stood up with a smile.
In the tent, the sad atmosphere had been swept away.
Lin Mengya stared at Long Tianyu expectantly, her eyes sparkling.
“You—”
Her endless ideas had really convinced him. He reached out his hand and wanted to flick her smooth forehead as a punishment.
But in the end, he couldn’t bear to hurt her. He just touched her black hair.
It was only a stalk of medicine. How could it have anything to do with being generous and righteous?
As expected, she was not willing to suffer even a tiny loss.
“You… You’re acting! You’re lying! I’m going to tell them that this is all fake!”
Gu Die, who had collapsed to the ground, finally came to her senses. This was not her plan.
But why should she help Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu in the end?
She couldn’t accept this result. She absolutely couldn’t accept it!
“You can tell everyone that this is fake. But at the same time, don’t forget to tell them that the Fire Glossy Ganoderma is just a tool for you to take revenge. Moreover, I believe that you are not the only one who knows about medicine in this world. You can let everyone know about it, and then you will disgrace yourself.”
Lin Mengya turned around with a gentle, beautiful smile on her delicate face.
However, there was a hint of coldness in her tone.
In fact, she did not hate the women who loved Long Tianyu. The more they loved him, the more they proved her taste.
However, she really hated them for threatening him in different ways.
Not to mention that with his pride, he would not accept their threats at all. On the contrary, he would hate them even more.
In addition, their despicable behavior showed that they essentially regarded him as an object.
This kind of behavior made her, who had always cherished his sincerity, feel extremely disgusted.
Therefore, when it came to this kind of thing, she would never show any mercy.
“You… You…”
At this moment, Gu Die finally calmed down.
In fact, she had come out of the valley to treat the plague this time so that her father would acknowledge her abilities.
If this matter got out, her father would definitely know that she was the one who had stolen the prescription.
At that time, if he found out that she had come up with such a lie to humiliate her sect for the sake of her own personal grudge, he might even break her legs.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling she was, it would be best if the matter ended here. It would be best if she did not make it public again.
“Don’t make fun of yourself in the future. You shouldn’t come here. I have already asked a master to verify your prescription. There is indeed something wrong with it. If I were you, I would have slipped away with my tail between my legs so as not to be beaten to death.”
Lin Mengya ‘kindly’ advised Gu Die. The side effects of her medicine would soon appear.
At that time, Gu Die, a good person who saved people from danger, would become the greatest villain in the world.
She believed in her teacher’s words. With Gu Die’s capabilities, she actually wouldn’t see the side effects of this medicine.
Therefore, on account of the fact that her original intention had been kind, she wanted to let her go this time.
As for whether she was courting death or not, that was not something she could control.
“You don’t have to pretend to be so kind! You’re just afraid that I’ll steal your credit, aren’t you? Let me tell you, I… I’m not the kind of person to fish for fame! Do you really think that you can help him? One day, you’ll come and beg me!”
After making this childish, angry threat, Gu Die ran out of the tent.
Looking at her back, Lin Mengya felt that the whole thing was ridiculous.
Why was it that every time a villain left the scene, he or she would threaten others and say that they would come back sooner or later?
This kind of line was really persistent.
“Alas, seeing you like this, it reminds me of when I was young. A debt of love is the hardest to repay.”
Baili Rui said with a sigh. In this world, there would always be amorous youths and languishing maidens.
For example, hadn’t he himself wasted half of his life with Yunzhu because of a misunderstanding?
In the room, Lin Mengya was expressionless, Xiao Yixin couldn’t help laughing, and Long Tianyu was confused.
“What are you looking at? It’s all because of you!”
Baili Rui naturally took his anger out on Long Tianyu.
However, the latter frowned and looked at him.
“I’m not gay.”
With a straight face, it took him a long time to squeeze out such a sentence.
In an instant, the other three people in the room all looked at Long Tianyu in great surprise.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed that Gu Die’s actually a girl?”
Seeing the look of realization on his face, Lin Mengya couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.
He had been razor-sharp in the past.
She had thought that no one and nothing could escape his notice.
However, Xiao Yixin had been able to tell, but he really hadn’t noticed it at all.
“Except for you, I’m not interested in taking a closer look at anyone.”
With a stiff face, Long Tianyu said these words in a tough tone, then turned around and left quickly.
Baili Rui and Xiao Yixin, who were being forced to see them showing off their love, were amazed by this seemingly old-fashioned guy’s love words.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
She felt as if her heart had been filled with honey. In fact, she had woken up not long after Long Tianyu left the tent.
However, she had not expected to hear the dispute between him and Gu Die.
In fact, her lowered body temperature was a stress response of the body. Even she could not explain it. But the result of the Shen Nung system showed that although her body was gradually slowing down and the temperature was lower than that of a normal person, at least, everything was normal.
In this way, there would naturally be no use for the Fire Glossy Ganoderma.
She suddenly had a brain wave and came up with an idea for how she could buy popularity.
Those people had all been arranged by Li Jia. However, from now on, news of Long Tianyu’s benevolence would gradually spread to all parts of the Jin State.
No matter how many Fire Glossy Ganoderma he had, he would not be able to get such a result.
“Yixin, please take the Fire Glossy Ganoderma to Gu Die and Gu Xing in person. As for whether they will leave or not, it depends on them.”
Since the matter had come to an end, Lin Mengya had to deal with it properly.
Gu Die’s aggression and her repeated tolerance had left an impression in everyone’s hearts.
In this way, there would be cracks in Gu Die’s angelic reputation.
The plague would soon finish.
The emperor’s purpose in sending them here was very simple. In addition to finding the source of the plague and comforting the people of Yun State, his biggest hope was that Long Tianyu could earn a reputation as crown prince of a country.
However, the Crown Prince could not be idle.
They wanted to end the battle as soon as possible so as not to lose too much time.
“Teacher, I’ll leave the matter of the antidote to you.”
Baili Rui thought for a while, then looked at his beloved disciple with a serious face.
“Mengya, you can put the rest aside. Tell me, is there anything wrong with your body?”
The latter just shook her head, and there was no concealment or irony in her eyes.
“I’m glad. I just hope that you can be healthy and safe. I’ll make the antidote in five days. As for the other things, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
Five days was much less time than she had expected.
“Okay, thank you.”
She did not delay Baili Rui’s studies and walked out of the tent.
All around her, there were people greeting her and saluting to show their grat.i.tude.
She responded with a polite and gentle smile. When she got to the outside of Long Tianyu’s tent, she heard a few people arguing in a low voice.
When the guard at the door saw her coming, he prepared to announce the arrival, but Lin Mengya waved her hand to stop him.
She listened carefully and found that Long Tianyu’s subordinates were trying to stop him from going somewhere.
However, Long Tianyu was insisting on going. The two sides would not give way to each other, so they were quarreling.
Lin Mengya had something on her mind. After brushing up her clothes, she walked slowly into the tent.
“Princess, why are you here?”
As soon as she went in, she saw a familiar face looking at her in surprise.
“So it’s you, Mr. Zhu! No, now I should call you General Zhu.”
This man was none other than Lin Mengya’s old acquaintance, Zhu Qiang, who had once been Long Tianyu’s lieutenant with Baili Wuchen.
But at this moment, he looked anxious. When he saw Lin Mengya, his eyes finally lit up. He quickly stepped to her side and shouted.
“Please help us persuade the prince! He really can’t go to Luoshui Town. None of the people we sent before came back alive. If he goes there, he may be in danger! Your Highness, I’m willing to go there for you!”
Luoshui Town? Lin Mengya pondered for a while before she remembered.
This town was the place where the plague had first broken out.
