Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 736 Childish Dispute

Finally, Long Tianyu ran out of patience with this man who had no sense of propriety.

“Come on, throw him off the ship!” He, carried away by rage, said recklessly.

Hearing his words, Hou Yuetian stopped smiling hypocritically and said with a straight face, “I don’t think you can do that. Come on, carry our luggage into the cabin.”

He also lost his temper.

Long Tianyu just knew Qingge a few years earlier than he did, but acted as if she belonged to him, which was ridiculous.

“Enough! Stop quarreling! Sit there as I ask and don’t talk!” Lin Mengya, who was fed up with these two childish men, suddenly frowned, glared at them and said with a cold face.

However, the latter sentence was meant for Long Tianyu.

After being rebuked, Long Tianyu sat down obediently without any hesitation.

Although he did not say anything, his eyes were still filled with displeasure.

“Mr. Hou, my... my cousin is grumpy. Why don’t you make a concession and stay on the boat where I stayed before? I’m sorry for putting you to such inconvenience,” Lin Mengya said.

Strictly speaking, Hou Yuetian couldn’t be considered one of them.

Therefore, Lin Mengya certainly had reason to ask Hou Yuetian to stay on the boat behind this ship. Although it seemed that she put him to inconvenience, it actually brought convenience to both of them.

Moreover, Hou Yuetian did not really mean to stay on this ship.

Given his temperament, he presumably tried to annoy Long Tianyu on purpose because of Long Tianyu’s bad attitude.

Now that Lin Mengya stepped in to mediate between them, the dispute between them was settled.

Moreover, she, who seemed to be much kinder to Hou Yuetian than she was to Long Tianyu, showed enough respect to Hou Yuetian.

Nevertheless, there was a flash of bitterness in Hou Yuetian’s eyes, as he knew better than anyone that the reason why Lin Mengya was so polite to him was that their relationship was not as close as her relationship with her cousin surnamed Liu.

It seemed that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to surpass her cousin Liu Yu.

“Miss Qingge, since you said so, I won’t put you in a dilemma. We’ll stay in the painted pleasure boat behind this ship. If you need any help, just call me,” Hou Yuetian said.

Seeing him behave sensibly, Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief.

She glared at Long Tianyu reproachfully. As expected, she saw a trace of childish complacency in his eyes.

Since when did he become so immature?

Nevertheless, this time she asked Hou Yuetian to get off this ship not only because Long Tianyu was on bad terms with him.

More importantly, any carelessness could lead to the exposure of Long Tianyu’s identity.

Once Long Tianyu’s whereabouts were discovered and spread, it would have a negative impact on both him and Dajin.

Moreover, she had not questioned him about how he managed to leave Dajin.

“Tsk tsk, you treated close and distant people differently and broke Hou Yuetian’s heart. Lass, why don’t you let him stay here? If you keep a close relationship with him, it will be easier for us to take actions in the Nation of Dongxia,” Qinghu folded his arms and said, seeming to enjoy watching the farce a lot.

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at him. As she had difficulty in walking, she wanted Qinghu to mediate the dispute.

Unexpectedly, this annoying fox just stood by and watched them quarrel.

If he really tried to mediate between them, they would probably resort to violence.

“Why should we let him stay here? He is not the only one who can help us in the Nation of Dongxia. He does not have to please my wife,” Long Tianyu said.

They had reached an agreement that Long Tianyu should not reveal their relationship at will.

As such, he said in a low voice, that could only be heard by the three of them.

Lin Mengya sighed lightly. In fact, Qinghu had reminded her before that Hou Yuetian might have an illusion of her.

But Lin Mengya knew better than anyone else that Hou Yuetian might only be curious about her.

She didn’t know what these men were thinking. There could be something other than love between a man and a woman.

“Let’s talk after getting into the cabin. I want to figure out something,” as Lin Mengya said, she turned her wheelchair and moved into the cabin.

However, at the sight of the warning look in her eyes before she turned around, Qinghu and Long Tianyu froze on the spot as if they got an electric shock.

They exchanged glances and saw a deep fear of Lin Mengya in each other’s eyes.

Oh no, they forgot what a tough person she was.

They had a pleasant cooperation, but it would not be easy to get through Lin Mengya’s interrogation.

“Don’t expect me to confess voluntarily!” Qinghu warned Long Tianyu in a low voice.

Back then, he cooperated with Long Tianyu just in order to make Lin Mengya feel better.

Long Tianyu glared at him. He, who had been aware that this so-called partner would give him away at any time, immediately came up with a lot of ways to explain why he showed up here.

But he eventually chose to tell the truth.

At least his wife wouldn’t throw him directly into the river to feed the fishes, would she?

The two men braced themselves to walk into the cabin heroically.

However, Lin Mengya did not intend to interrogate them. After all, it was normal for the two men to have some secrets between them.

How could she be unaware that if Qinghu had not sent someone to disclose their whereabouts, it would have been impossible for Long Tianyu to catch up with them?

Nevertheless, she should warn the two men when necessary, lest they think that they could deceive her easily.

Although the ship seemed to be an ordinary large cargo ship, the cabin was very tidy and clean.

The ship was presumably prepared by Long Tianyu in a short time, so most of the furniture was simple and comfortable.

He didn’t have time to decorate it with splendid gilt.

Lin Mengya, who sat aside, lifted her beautiful eyes to glance at the two of them lightly and said, “Don’t stand there. Sit down. We have business to discuss.”

Both of them were a little uneasy, afraid that they would have to tell the whole story as soon as Lin Mengya questioned them.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya did not mention this, but just inquired about the situation in the Capital City.

Long Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then told her about it.

The situation stabilized temporarily. As she expected, on the day Mao Yuze entered the Imperial Palace to meet the Emperor, the Shangguan Family attempted to assassinate Mao Yuze under the cover of preventing the wedding.

Fortunately, Long Tianyu had taken precautions. Several assassins were caught alive, and the rest of them were killed on the spot, which offered enough evidence against the Shangguan Family.

On the same day, the Emperor, who had long planned to exterminate the Shangguan Family, gave an order to punish the Shangguan Family on the grounds of disobedience to the Emperor even without proper trial.

At the critical moment, Shangguan Qingyu, came with the Empress’s edict to save Shangguan Lei and the others. At the end, he somehow managed to convince the Emperor to behead only the sons born of concubines of the Shangguan Family and banish the rest of them to the border area.

The Shangguan Family seemed to have fallen with most members dead or banished. But in fact, it had just suffered some losses.

As long as the Empress could hold her position, the Shangguan Family might regain its power one day.

The Emperor cared about interests more than anything else.

“I’ve expected this. The real advantages of the Shangguan Family are Shangguan Lei’s contacts and the Empress’s power. Shangguan Qingyu is not stupid, so he won’t give them up easily,” Lin Mengya said, not surprised at the result.

Given the Empress’s malicious means, she must be willing to make minor sacrifices to safeguard major interests.

What was more, she just sacrificed the sons born of concubines of the Shangguan Family who were not on her side.

In this way, the Emperor seemed to have eliminated the members of the Shangguan Family who went against her.

“How is Mao Yuze? Have the Nan’an State and Dajin concluded a treaty of peace?” Lin Mengya asked.

Speaking of this, Long Tianyu finally showed a slight smile.

The two countries had concluded a treaty of peace, and Mao Yuze even promised to convince his father, who advocated war, to make peace with Dajin.

The Emperor was certainly very pleased. At present, Long Tianyu was in the spotlight and became the most powerful competitor for the throne apart from the Crown Prince.

“I should thank your brother. Speaking of this, where is Brother Nansheng? Brother Mao said that he wanted to meet Brother Nansheng,” Long Tianyu glanced at Lin Mengya and said, wondering what she was up to.

Her family members and servants were all gone. Even his guards couldn’t find any trace of those people, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

“Oh, considering the misfortunes our family has been through, my father and brother returned our hometown to worship our ancestors and pray for blessings. Our Lin Family has settled in the Capital City for generations, and our ancestral hall is built here. But after all, our earliest ancestors are buried in our hometown. Moreover, my father hasn’t visited our relatives for a long time. Now he finally got some time to take my brother back to our hometown,” Lin Mengya said in her usual tone.

But Qinghu glanced at her subconsciously.

Her father and brother had gone to...

He was confused about why Lin Mengya even tried to keep it from Long Tianyu.

Nevertheless, he knew that Lin Mengya did things in an orderly way.

Since she said so, she must have her purpose.

“So that’s how it is. It’s good to stay away from trouble. My father has changed. My mother and I both feel that he is rather different now,” Long Tianyu involuntarily said at the thought of his father.

Although his father still trusted him as much as always, his father’s image as a dignified and impartial father in his mind was gradually falling to pieces, and the pieces were recombined into an image of a scheming and even somewhat cold-blooded monarch.

Perhaps this was supposed to be the image of an Emperor.

However, Long Tianyu had an intuition that his father’s change was not necessarily a good thing.

At least his mother’s and his relationships with his father also gradually changed.

Before he left the Capital City, he went to his mother’s palace to pay his respects to her.

Although his mother did a great job in hiding her emotions, he could see the loneliness in her eyes.
