Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 636 - Disaster Relief

Chapter 636 Disaster Relief

On the white jade disk, there was a very familiar carving. The crescent moon was like a hook. A man, standing his back to the door and window, was cautiously looking at the woman in the room, who was sleeping on the couch.

The carving was very vivid, and even the details were graphically carved. Through the jade disk, The man’s reluctance to leave and his care for the women could be seen.

Lin Mengya suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Long Tianyu reprovingly. “Long Tianyu! How dare you peep at me in the middle of the night! Pervert!”

Although she said that, a pleasant surprise was surging inevitable in her heart. It turned out she had never been absent for a moment in his heart. “I am justified in looking at my wife.”

He was still seriously talking nonsense. Suddenly, Long Tianyu divided the jade disk into two parts. Although the carving was exquisite, if people didn’t hold it in their hands and look closely, they couldn’t see it. They would think of it as a jade disk with normal patterns.

Now, each of them would keep half of the jade disk. This was a gift he had prepared a long time ago, to make her happy. “It is sophistry, but I like it very much.”

Lin Mengya felt as sweet as honey at the moment. Long Tianyu was not a person who was good at playing romantic tricks. When he occasionally gave her a gift, of course, she would cherish it very much.

Leaning on his shoulder, Lin Mengya sighed softly. “What’s wrong? Lin Kui said that your brother has been here. Did he embarra.s.s you?”

Long Tianyu frowned slightly, he didn’t like hearing Lin Mengya sigh because it meant that something was upsetting her. If possible, he was willing to bear all the problems for her to make her happy and safe.

“No. My brother just came to chat. I mentioned the marriage to him today. Although he did not object, I can see that he is unwilling in his heart. I have asked people to find a suitable woman, but I’m afraid things will not be that easy.”

Lin Mengya said in a low tone, fiddling with the ta.s.sel of the jade disk in her hand. Long Tianyu embraced her tightly, and he could understand why Lin Nansheng had acted like this.

He was much luckier than Lin Nansheng. If he hadn’t met Lin Mengya, he would have been like a walking dead for the rest of his life, unable to understand the beauty of love.

“Well, he will know what he should do. Don’t worry too much. Although he is your brother, I am your husband.”

It sounded as if he were talking nonsense, but Lin Mengya knew that Long Tianyu was pretending to be jealous to comfort her. She raised her little hand, intending to give him a light punch, but in the end, she dropped it gently and smoothed the folds on his clothes. “By the way, you went to the palace today. The Empress didn’t embarra.s.s you, right?”

She heard that the Crown Prince, who had gone to Yun State for disaster relief a few days ago, had already returned. As Lin Mengya had expected, someone had sung the praises of the Crown Prince for the affairs in Yun State.

As for the merits of Long Tianyu, nothing had been mentioned. Even all Long Tianyu’s credit for the development of the antidote had been taken.

This time, Lin Mengya got to know how shameless the Crown Prince was. The corners of her lips were gently raised, and her sweet smile was glowing with coldness, slowly spreading on her face.

Her watery eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with a shrewd light of calculating. Even if Long Tianyu had seen it, he would have burst out a cold sweat. Let alone someone else. “The containment of the spread of the plague is just the beginning. I think what your father should pay more attention to is the reconstruction work after the plague. If nothing goes wrong, the Emperor will summon you all to discuss the rebuilding work together in a few days, right?”

Seeing her so insightful, Long Tianyu did not feel any surprise. He was even afraid that if Lin Mengya were a man, the young talents in the world would never have their days.

Fortunately, this smart little girl belonged to him. Otherwise, he was afraid he would even count the money for her after she sold him. “Post-disaster reconstruction is just two things. First, to properly resettle the victims. You must rebuild their confidence in life, help them rebuild their homes, and get through the first year after the disaster. Second, to ensure their safety. When dealing with all the follow-up work after the disaster, you must ensure the safety of the victims and minimize the loss. It’s easier said than done.”

Lin Mengya said while thinking. The precedents of modern post-disaster reconstruction had given her a lot of inspiration. At least, as far as the current Jin State was concerned, some ideas could be considered extremely advanced and effective.

“I am with you on that. The ministers are trying their best to fight for the disaster relief fund for Yun State. Especially, the Crown Prince.” Long Tianyu was also inspired by Lin Mengya.

His subordinates had already provided some advice for him. But subconsciously, he still wanted to hear Lin Mengya’s opinions. “Of course, he wants to fight for it. Whoever grabs the disaster relief fund grabs the lifeline of the victims. This kind of good thing could both fill money in his pocket and earn him good fame. If the Crown Prince does not fight for it, then he will be the most foolish man in the world.”

Lin Mengya didn’t care about that good-for-nothing Crown Prince himself. The terrifying ones were the Empress behind him and the ministers who supported them.

In any case, the Crown Prince was still the first in line to the throne. Naturally, he had benefited from this innated advantage. Although the Imperial n.o.ble Consort Dehui had been promoted, she was still the second wife after all, under the Empress in rank.

Lin Mengya had to worry about these things even though she was extremely unwilling. “If the Crown Prince dares to embezzle the money, I will report it to father. At that time, let alone the Empress, even if Shangguan Lei comes, he won’t be able to save him!”

Long Tianyu’s face was frosty, and his black eyes were deep, making people unable to read his true thoughts. This was why he had not competed with the Crown Prince at the court meeting today.

“Do you want to wait for him to expose his own mistakes?” Lin Mengya knew him very well. How could she not understand Long Tianyu’s methods?

Seeing him nodded, Lin Mengya lowered her eyes as if she were thinking about something. “I think he might not be so stupid.”

Raising her head, Lin Mengya had regained her usual soft smile. He had fought with the Crown Prince for so long, so the person who knew the Crown Prince best must be Long Tianyu.

Although the Shangguan family has a prominent background, they might not have enough money to buy over all the ministers. Indeed, the disaster relief fund would be a good opportunity for them to gain both fame and fortune.

But Lin Mengya felt that things might not be as simple as they thought. “You mean, maybe, this time, the Crown Prince will give up the opportunity to seize the money?”

Unconsciously, the two people had walked into Long Tianyu’s study hand in hand. At this moment, there were a lot of written opinions from his aides and staff on the desk.

Lin Mengya didn’t answer Long Tianyu’s question. Instead, she stretched out and flipped through the opinions gently. These were indeed good suggestions, but they had all ignored something.

“I don’t think he will give up. After all, Yun State is the base of the Shangguan family. This time, the Shangguan family has suffered a heavy loss. But if I were Shangguan Lei, I would never allow this kind of mistake that can ruin the whole family to be made. Unless—”

When Lin Mengya thought about things, she would always put herself in the shoes of the other person. Shangguan Lei was vigorous and resolute. When he was marching to war, wherever he went, the people there would all tremble with fear.

It was rumored that he had once killed a person by mistake. But when he had got to know that he had made a mistake, he had done nothing but slaughtered the entire village to wipe out all the evidence.

This matter could only be regarded as a rumor because no one dared to seek confirmation with Shangguan Lei.

How could such a narrow-minded and vicious person take such a big risk to embezzle the disaster relief fund? After all, his ambition was power instead of wealth.

The aim of the Shangguan family was the whole Jin State.

“You mean, this may be a flaw they deliberately showed to us? To induce us into a trap?”

Long Tianyu looked solemn. Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, he felt that it was possible. Fortunately, he hadn’t said too much in the court meeting, and he thought the Crown Prince and his adherents could do nothing to him.

“They’re not just aiming at you. I’m afraid whoever has interests in that position will be ensnared this time. Wait and see. Soon, there will be results.”

The situation of the imperial court was changing rapidly. It was often said that accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. Who could fully understand the thoughts of the Emperor?

The Empress and Shangguan Lei had set up this monstrous murderous trap for the Emperor’s biological sons. The Emperor, who could well handle the threats of powerful ministers and the aggressive Empress and often give them unexpected blows, would never be so easy to be manipulated.

Long Tianyu agreed, “You’re right.” He wrapped her slender waist with his hands and buried his face in her hair.

Sniffing the faint fragrance of her hair, he felt as if those fierce struggles had gradually moved away from his heart. Lin Mengya said, “You must be tired. Let’s have dinner early today.”

She turned around and hugged Long Tianyu. Lin Mengya knew that Long Tianyu had suffered from insomnia these days. If he were just a son of an ordinary family, and she was also an ordinary woman, how good would it be?

The usual dinner seemed to have become sweeter and sweeter with the relations.h.i.+p between them kept heating up.
