Chapter 674 Can’t Betray Her
After calming down, Long Tianyu began to think about it.
If her father and mother only intended to rebuke Lin Mengya, there was no need to lock him up, unless they were going to go even further and he would definitely not allow them to do that.
As Long Tianyu thought about it, he got increasingly irritated. If they locked him up today in order to deal with Lin Mengya, he would definitely not watch them do that without taking any action.
In fact, he had seen everything Lin Mengya had done for him these days.
She had stooped to compromise for him again and again and even given up a lot. Therefore, he could not let her suffer any more grievances, even if he had to go against his beloved father and mother.
In the dim room, Long Tianyu sat in front of the desk as mute as a fish, but there was a sparkle in his slanted eyes.
Outside stood Nanny Jingyue, the Imperial Noble Consort’s personal maid, who was brought here by the palace servants, who had been driven away just now.
Since the death of the real Jingyue, Jinyue had taken her place and continued serving the Imperial Noble Consort.
Now, she was the only one capable of swaying the stubborn Prince Yu.
“All of you can leave. I’ll take care of the Highness.”
Jinyue said, standing in front of the side chamber with the hamper in her hands. In fact, she had just learned what the Emperor had done to the Lin Family.
To be honest, she favored the smart and beautiful Princess Yu more than the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui.
However, Princess Yu had to be wronged this time.
There came a few light knock on the door. Through the crack of the door, Long Tianyu saw a familiar face.
However, he did not get up but just sat there coldly, as if there were nothing he cared about in the world.
Jinyue sighed lightly, thinking since when the prince, on whom she had doted since he was a child, had become so stubborn.
“Highness, if you keep ignoring me, your wife will fall into a hopeless situation. Are you going to watch it without taking any action?”
Jinyue’s words touched Long Tianyu’s heartstrings.
In an instant, he, who had been sitting there stiffly, stood up and stared anxiously at Jinyue, who was at the door, with a concerned look.
He asked, “Nanny, what happened to my wife? Did my parents or... the Empress do something to her again? ”
When it came to something related to Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu would lose his proud composure.
In particular, after learning Lin Mengya’s real condition, he must hold her tightly every night and make sure that she was safe and sound before he fell asleep.
Through the crack in the door, Long Tianyu saw Nanny Jinyue take the dishes out of the hamper one by one and put them on the ground with a sigh.
Then, she said in a low voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
“I’ve just heard that General Lin got into trouble and Princess Yu seems to have been implicated. Nevertheless, the Emperor didn’t denounce the Lin Family, but temporarily deprived her of her position as Princess Yu. Don’t worry, the Imperial Noble Consort is doing all she could to protect Princess Yu. But you should know even the Imperial Noble Consort can’t disobey His Majesty.”
Jinyue said earnestly. She knew Long Tianyu’s character clearly.
If she kept hiding the fact, it would probably do harm to the relationship between Long Tianyu and his father.
But if Long Tianyu acted arbitrarily, he could probably turn the Imperial Palace upside down.
If things really got out of control, even the Imperial Noble Consort might not be able to handle the situation.
“Damn it! How could father...”
Long Tianyu said while clenching his fists.
Even so, Long Tianyu could not vent any bit of his anger.
What Lin Nansheng had done had nothing to do with Lin Mengya. It was a bit far-fetched for his father to deprive Lin Mengya of her position as Princess Yu for such a reason.
Long Tianyu suddenly became extremely cold with a wild look in his black eyes.
Even Jinyue, who had watched him grow up since he was a child, felt that the Third Prince in front of her seemed to be a little strange.
“Although he has deprived Mengya of her position as Princess Yu, she is my only wife in my life. Go to tell my parents if they still care about their kinship with me over the years, they should release me immediately. Otherwise, I’ll give up my position as the Third Prince!”
Long Tianyu didn’t seem to say that in a moment of anger, because his tone was calm, as if he were talking about an extremely common thing.
Seeing Long Tianyu’s determined expression, Jinyue suddenly held her breath and said, “Okay, I’ll go to report it right away. But remember one thing: His Majesty is your father after all.”
Father? Long Tianyu could only feel bitterness lingering in his heart.
Yes, the Emperor was indeed his father, but he was also the sovereign.
Although his father hadn’t doted on him a lot before, his father had spent a lot of time and effort cultivating him.
However, he knew clearly that the reason why his father treated him like that was not only because he was his son, but also because his father wanted a qualified heir.
Their relationship based on that had become complicated long before.
When his father was ill, he had never protected his mother and him. Therefore, he was trapped by the Empress and had to marry a silly woman as his legal wife.
After all this time, he finally found his beloved.
However, in order to consolidate his throne, his father tried to take Lin Mengya away from him again.
How could someone as proud as her bear to be deprived of her position as Princess Yu?
As he thought, he clenched his fists and felt helpless for the first time.
He had promised her to stay with her for the rest of his life and not to let her suffer any more grievances. However, he broke his promise again and again.
“Yu’er, why do you have to do this? Your father said that Mengya would only suffer this for a few days, and he would not really drive her out. Besides, she is now your vice Princess. You must not take things too hard!”
In the courtyard of the Yuanxi Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and came over in a hurry after getting the news, said pleadingly in a soft voice.
Watching her son’s cold and aloof back through the crack of the door, the Imperial Noble Consort actually felt distressed.
“Mother, let me go.”
Long Tianyu said, turning around with a cold look in his eyes as if looking at a stranger.
The Imperial Noble Consort gritted her teeth. In fact, she was reluctant to let her smart and capable daughter-in-law suffer this.
However, it was the Emperor’s decision, and she could do nothing about it.
“My son, I know that you must be in a bad mood. Don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone reliable to help Mengya. Just stay here peacefully for a few more days and spend some time with me, okay?” The Imperial Noble Consort Dehui said.
Under the moonlight, the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui looked more fragile and pitiful after what had happened to her.
However, hearing his mother’s pleading, Long Tianyu remained unmoved.
Glancing at his mother, who was pleading with him, in distress, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to her.
“My son, what do you mean by doing this?” The Imperial Noble Consort asked.
Looking at her son, who was not swayed by her pleading, the Imperial Noble Consort was heart-broken.
“Mother, you can ignore Mengya’s filial piety to you, and father can also ignore Mengya’s saving him regardless of danger. But I will never let her down. If you insist on keeping me locked up here today, I will no longer be your son from tomorrow on.”
After saying that, Long Tianyu stood up calmly.
Despite the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui’s sorrowful look, his mind was occupied with memories of Lin Mengya in this year.
She had risked her life for him and almost got killed several times, but she had never hesitated.
Up to now, she was the only one, who was the warmth of his life and had completed his life, so that he could experience the bitterness and sweetness of life.
She was his soul, and he would probably die if he lost her.
“Okay... okay, Yu’er, keep calm. Jinyue, go and fetch the key.” The Imperial Noble Consort Dehui said.
Looking at her son, who had made up his mind, the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui suddenly remembered her youth.
At that time, as the legitimate daughter of the Jiang Family, she had been so popular that those coming to ask to marry her had almost worn out the doorstep of her mansion.
However, she fell in love with the prince, who had only come to her home once. Therefore, although he was just an unremarkable prince at that time, she still begged her father to allow her to marry him as a Vice Princess.
More than 20 years had passed since she became his vice Princess, but she still could not forget the bright face of the man, who laughed heartily on that day.
As such, when her son said those words, it reminded her of herself kneeling in front of her father and threatening her father with a hunger strike at that time.
Perhaps her son took more after her.
“Your Grace, please think twice.”
Jinyue, who had fetched the key, held it tightly in her hand, but she still reminded the Imperial Noble Consort.
“It’s fine. Yu’er is right. We owe Mengya a lot. Besides, if it weren’t for her, my son wouldn’t have been able to experience the bitterness of love. Think about our youth.” The Imperial Noble Consort said meaningfully.
Jinyue paused for a moment, but she still handed the key in her hand to the Imperial Noble Consort with hesitation.
With a snap, the door was gently unlocked by the Imperial Noble Consort.
Long Tianyu rushed out like a blast of wind and almost bumped into the Imperial Noble Consort at the door.
“Go ahead. Your father is busy running things, and he won’t notice your escaping in a short time. Please apologize to Mengya on my behalf.”
As the Imperial Noble Consort said, She reached out to adjust her son’s clothes.
There was nothing other than kindness on the face of the Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, who was usually proud and noble.
At this moment, she was just an ordinary mother.
“Mother... Thank you.”
Long Tianyu said, looking at his mother, who suddenly changed her attitude, with complicated emotions.
However, he still quickly walked out of the Yuanxi Palace and disappeared into the dark.
