Chapter 339 - Escape Plan

Lin Mengya had been unconscious for four days already.

In four days, many things could happen. But it was not enough for a person who refused to wake up.

From the day Lin Mengya was brought back to his place, Qiu Yu had been taking care of her, quietly.

He sighed slightly, while looking at Lin Mengya becoming thinner by the day. What he could do was to feed decoctions to Lin Mengya to sustain her life every day.

In fact, Qiu Yu had encountered such an event before.

His Master told him that a human was the most mysterious being in the universe.

Some people’s hair would turn white overnight because of sorrow. It was not something made up by writers. One’s mood could dominate the body’s functions.

For example, Lin Mengya passed out, but she was still conscious.

Perhaps she was protecting herself by doing that.

But Qiu Yu believed in Lin Mengya. No matter what happened, she would never avoid it. As long as she thought it out and accepted everything that had happened, she would wake up.

“Wake up soon. Do you know? The whole Capital City is in a mess, because of you now. Our house is being monitored. If you don’t wake up, I will have to take you to another place again.”

Although he said that, Qiu Yu did not look worried.

The house had been bought by him earlier before.

Sooner or later, the existence of his house would be discovered. But to his surprise, the one behind it was not Long Tianyu.

If it was true, then, Prince Yu must be the one creating such a disturbance in Dajin recently.

A playful smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. “Long Tianyu is really not a simple man. What a big disturbance he has created.”

“But Prince Yu stirred up trouble here and there. if the foundation is shaken, will he feel upset if the loss overweighs the gain?”

Qiu Yu shook his head. He should not take them into consideration.

He should think about how to get Lin Mengya to wake up.

“Hey, I really wonder if you’re the dangerous beauty, or—”

Some lights flashed across his eyes. If that was true, perhaps he should consider moving Lin Mengya back to his home, when she was still lying on the bed.

But at the thought of Lin Mengya’s way of taking revenge, Qiu Yu thought that it would be better to stay here and wait for her to wake up, because he did not want his family to be broken up.

Lin Mengya’s consciousness, like a seed sleeping for the whole winter, gradually came to life.

In the beginning, because of her emotions, the Shen Nung System automatically sent a signal to benumb her cranial nerves. That was why she fell into a stupor without any awareness.

A sky filled with soft silver lights was shining in front of her. There was one word written there ‘Restart’.

Lin Mengya watched numbly, and did not make any move to press the button ‘Yes’.

“Should I continue, or just let it go?”

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Mengya decided to press ‘Yes’.

The long-lost sense of inability returned. All her sensory nerves restarted successfully.

She struggled to open her eyes and looked at the world. Even though there was a sense of heartfelt pain, there were more people she was unwilling to leave behind.

Her father, brother, her maids, and—

and the beautiful face she could not erase from her mind.

When she thought about it, Lin Mengya realized that she had fallen in love with Long Tianyu, even without her noticing it!

“You’re looking for trouble!” Lin Mengya decided to confront calmly what she was thinking of. “I like him. That Lady Lin Lang—”

“It was like there is a noble lady who was staying inside her home in the old society. I’m the top student who graduated from a medical university. I must be more attractive in appearance than a lady.”

“I’ve made my decision. Long Tianyu and the Emperor, everything I want, I will not let them go!”

Qiu Yu stared at the woman lying on the bed, unblinkingly.

“Ahem? She has just awakened, right? But why do her shining eyes scare me?”

“Stop looking. Are you a qualified doctor? Don’t you ever watch the TV series, where the patient always needs water, when she just comes back to life?”

The hoarse, yet still arrogant voice could be heard.

Immediately, Qiu Yu went to pour a cup of tea, as if he had just woken up from a dream.

“Water, here it is. But, what is ‘TV series’? I have never heard of that kind of play!”

Lin Mengya refused to explain to him. If she gave him an explanation, it would take over one lifetime just to explain what a diode was.

Besides, she just came back to life. She would be exhausted if she spoke too much.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Nothing. But I wonder why I am here.”

After hearing what had happened, Lin Mengya rubbed her temples with her slender fingers.

But Qiu Yu, sitting in front of her, kept quiet out of fear, because—

“You mean, Long Tianyu thought that I was kidnapped by the Crown Prince. So he went ballistic?”

“Went ballistic?” Although Qiu Yu had no idea what that meant, he still nodded.

“Why didn’t you find someone to tell Long Tianyu that I am here?”

Looking at Lin Mengya, Qiu Yu swallowed hard after a second thought. He did not tell her that he wanted to stand by and see the fun.

“You afraid that Long Tianyu will be suspicious of you and carry out an investigation on you, right?”

Hearing Lin Mengya’s questions, Qiu Yu nodded, after thinking about it.

“And now, we’re surrounded by them. We’re being monitored, right?”

After hesitating for a while, Qiu Yu nodded.

Lin Mengya suddenly patted her forehead, and threw herself onto the bed, while rolling her eyes.

“God! How could I have met such a troublesome man!”

“Ahem... You have turned me into a dangerous beauty. God, how could you! Now, can we find a way to get out? I want to get back to Prince Yu’s Mansion right away.”

When she tried to stand up, dizziness made her fall back on the bed.

“Hey, stop torturing yourself. We’re between a rock and a hard place. You may be taken away immediately once you leave this room, let alone get back to Prince Yu’s Mansion.”

Qiu Yu calmly made some irrelevant remarks. In fact, he did know how to get Lin Mengya out.

But it would definitely lead to the exposure of his identity.

Besides, it was not time to disclose everything to Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya was leaning on the bed. After giving Qiu Yu an eyeful of killing intent, she had to think of a counterplan, while resting on the bed.

“You said that they have not planted any spies into our house, right?”

After a while, Lin Mengya asked.

Qiu Yu dared not refuse and nodded immediately. Except that, he also told Lin Mengya about every detail of what he had found out.

“Since it is so, let’s make an escape plan, what do you think?”

A cunning light flickered in her eyes.

The trait of tricking others, which was in her blood, came to life in her worn-out body.

“It may be difficult. They kill people without even batting their eyelids. “You’ll be in trouble if you’re found out. You’d better to stay here. And I believe that Long Tianyu will try to save you.”

What happened by the gate on that day had spread throughout the palace.

There was this hot gossip that Prince Yu was really an indifferent prince, and how could he be so gentle and soft toward Princess Yu. It was really weird.

But anyone who knew Lin Mengya, believed that she was good enough to win his affection.

“No. If we sit here and do nothing, we would be an easy prey. Listen to me. The more people pay attention to this house, the more interesting it will be to escape. Am I right?”

Qiu Yu kept quiet. Lin Mengya often had all kinds of unusual but wonderful thoughts.

“It won’t risk my life. Why not play along with her?”

Number thirteen, Willows Tang was just a common house. But somehow in the recent days, lots of people came and went out of it, carrying a lot of stuff.

It was noisy, but a rare occurrence. None of the neighbors came to see what was going on between the two streets.

Even if there was one, he would just ask, and when he was informed that the house’s master was moving due to his travels, he would simply go back to his own house.

Moving was usually accompanied by the removal of chairs and desks.

Especially several cabinets which were taller than a man’s height, were very obvious.

The driver was an old hand. They called him Horse Hand, especially in Willows Tang.

If there was a wedding, funeral, or an activity that required any moving, he would be asked to transport them.

But this time, Horse Hand felt confused.

“How weird Master is. He just told me to carry those things from Number thirteen, Willows Tang to the west of the city, every day.”

“Then, bring them back again.”

“Although a rich family may have different orders, but—”

But Master paid him more money than what he usually earned. So he had to focus on what he was told to do.

“Stop. Guards patrolling!”

This day, when he just moved a large cupboard, the patrolling guards stopped him.

Horse Hand had lived in the Capital City for decades. He had never experienced being stopped by any officials.

He started to feel rattled immediately. He jumped from the carriage, and bowed and scraped to them.

“My Lord, I’m a common driver. I have not committed any crime. What are you going to do?”

The two officers in guard’s costumes, just exchanged glances. They did not explain, then quickly got on his carriage and broke into the cupboard with their knives.
