Lin Mengya glimpsed at him and nodded.

Anyway, the imperial bodyguard had warned her out of his good intentions. She could not treat him ungratefully.

In the dungeon, it smelled stinky and sultry, making Lin Mengya frown.

She was not here to show herself off. However, having something on her mind, she intended to get it straight with Baili Wuchen, and that was all.

“It did not occur to me that you would be in this shabby place on your own, Respected Royal Queen. How interesting it is. Are you here to take a look at how miserable I am now?”

Baili Wuchen lifted up his head. His face, which had been delicate and pretty originally, had become so emaciated. He was so weak that he hardly could be counted as a human. Smudges filled his face. However, his eyes were still shining with shrewdness.

The indignant look in his eyes made Lin Mengya unable to help feeling somewhat confused. She was pretty sure that never had she gone too far with him. However, why did Baili Wuchen hate her so much?

“I am not here to make a display of myself. Since it is the Spring Festival now, the Master felt worried about you and asked me to check on you here.”

Though the Master had not made it clear, he had spoken in such a hesitant manner. Consequently, Lin Mengya could still figure out his intention, more or less.

Though what Baili Wuchen had done was way too far, after all, he was still the only relative of the Master. Moreover, The Master did not hope that Baili Wuchen would really meet with some mishap.

Perhaps, to Baili Wuchen, it might be an optimal choice to be confined here.

“Hmph, does he still know that he should care about me? I doubt it. If it were not for him, how could I have ended up this way? Stop pretending. If I died, you should be the ones who would feel happy.”

Lin Mengya shook her head. She had known early on that Baili Wuchen was a stubborn guy. Hatred already blinded him. If he refused to admit his mistake, he would bring ruin upon himself sooner or later.

“If you died, the Master certainly would feel depressed. Baili Wuchen, I don’t know why you hate me so much. However, you must not forget that it was Long TianhaoLong Tianyu who detained you, and you also had betrayed him. Everything has nothing to do with me.”

If they continued pestering each other like this, it would be meaningless. She would take good care of these people and treat them well, including Baili Wuchen.

Before Lin Mengya turned around and intended to leave, she frowned. She remembered clearly that the iron door could have been pushed open. However, it actually was unmovable now.

It was not until Lin Mengya pushed the iron door forcibly again that she realized that the iron door actually had been locked from the outside.

“What on earth is going on?”

“Haha, haha, Lin Mengya, you are caught off guard, right? I have to say you are so unlucky. You actually turned yourself in on the day when I intended to jailbreak.”


Baili Wuchen, who was behind her, smiled pretty jauntily.

After the sound, which indicated that the chains had been dropped on the ground, rang out, Lin Mengya turned her head around all of a sudden, only to see Baili Wuchen twisting his wrists and pressing upon her.

“No wonder back when I had just entered here, the two imperial bodyguards were somewhat unwilling to let me in. It turns out they had been bought off by you earlier.”

Lin Mengya’s body broke out with gooseflesh. Dammit, how come she had forgotten that Baili Wuchen had been a brain man in the team? Plus, he had assigned all these people to their current positions on his own. Perhaps, his trusted subordinates were here.

How unlucky she was. How come she had broken in at this moment?

“Well, bought off? Speaking of all these people here, you can ask them whether any one of them owed me something or not! The reason why I was confined here by the prince was that I did so voluntarily. If I want to get out now, who dares to stand in my way?”

What Baili Wuchen had said made Lin Mengya figure out where the problem lay immediately.

It could not be denied that Baili Wuchen certainly was a talent. However, he must have been so arrogant that he had forgotten the boundary between a subordinate and his superior. Though Long TianhaoLong Tianyu could put up with his subordinates’ arrogance and aggressiveness, never would he allow them to ride roughshod over him.

Consequently, Baili Wuchen actually had not done anything to betray Long TianhaoLong Tianyu. He had been so domineering that he actually was deluded enough to try and control Long TianhaoLong Tianyu.

That was the exact reason why Baili Wuchen had been confined here without being killed!

She had been so stupid! How come had she not been able to perceive this?

“If you want to leave here, I won’t stop you. However, Long TianhaoLong Tianyu definitely won’t spare you. Since you already know many secrets of his, how is it possible for him to let you out?”

Lin Mengya calmed herself down. She certainly needed to buy time. If the people in the yard found out that she had disappeared, they definitely would come here to search for her.

“I won’t kill you. You don’t need to be afraid. However, I need you to help get me out of here. Since the prince likes you so much, he definitely will let me go.”

The way Baili Wuchen spoke was so distant that it made Lin Mengya feel somewhat frightened. She could not help leaning against the cold and hard wall and staring at the man in front of her vigilantly.

“I advise you not to come over, which will suit you the best. You also know that I came here right after having been tutored by the Master. If you really push me that far, don’t blame for fighting back mercilessly.”

When Lin Mengya gave Baili Wuchen her warning, she actually did not speak in a confident manner. The Master had mentioned to her that Baili Wuchen had gotten a poison-proof bead by accident. Consequently, ordinary poison might not get close to him. However, a gleam of fear still flashed across Baili Wuchen’s eyes.

After all, everybody is afraid of death.

“Hmph, you think you still can get out of this dungeon, right? Let me tell you the truth, this dungeon is completely concrete with black iron. Ordinary weapons simply can’t knock it down. Even if an earthquake happens, it won’t be affected at all.”

Lin Mengya believed what Baili Yuchen had said. She could not help smiling bitterly.

She was indeed someone who was born to bring misery on herself easily. Could it be that she had been reincarnated from Detective Conan? How come an accident would take place wherever she showed up?

“Are you going to abduct me as a hostage? If so, it’s all right. I will clear the path for you. However, you need to protect me and make sure nothing will happen to me. If I am injured, even just a bit, you won’t get out of here successfully.”

Lin Mengya already figured it out. Though Baili Wuchen had spoken in a vicious way, he actually was dying to get out of here alive. However, she feared that this guy might deal her a fatal blow in the end. At that time, she would be at a dead end.

“As expected, you are a smart person, Respected Royal Queen. Guards, open the door to the dungeon. We will ask the Respected Royal Queen to clear a path for us.”

Baili Wuchen’s eyes gleamed with distant shrewdness. He stared at Lin Mengya maliciously as if he were a venomous snake that was thrusting out its tongue nosily.

After all, Long TianhaoLong Tianyu was careless. Surprisingly, in the end, he actually became a poor Mr. Dong Guo.

This perfidious person might become a thorn in Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s side.

Anyway, Baili Wuchen definitely would deal with her. Consequently, she could not be too lenient on him since she knew the principle better than anyone else: “Offence is the best defense”.

“You walk ahead of me. Rest assured that since your underlings are watching over me, I won’t do anything at all. If you continue walking behind me, I would always feel that you would make a false countercharge against me.”

Lin Mengya stared at the man in front of her calmly. The way she spoke was distant.

A contemptuous smile showed up on Baili Wuchen’s face. As expected, Princess Yu had no sense of security at all. Though he still looked emaciated, he was far more determined, more or less.

Prince Yu’s Mansion was not a place where Baili Wuchen could come and go as he liked. In Lin Mengya’s opinion, Long TianhaoLong Tianyu certainly would not let him leave here that easily.

“Go ahead, Princess Yu.”

Baili Wuchen stood outside the dungeon and spoke in a contemptuous manner.

Some people, which Lin Mengya had not seen at all, surrounded Baili Wuchen in groups. This was the first time that Lin Mengya had seen so many people gathered in this empty dungeon.

She could not help frowning slightly. She thought, “Could these people help Baili Wuchen get out of Prince Yu’s Mansion and protect him?”

Since she did not move at all, a few people intended to drag her. Surprisingly, she got free from their hands forcibly and glared at them. A ray of cold light flashed across her beautiful eyes. Although a fragile and delicate woman she might be, she actually was intimidating.

“You are not qualified to touch me. Go away.”

Though her voice was clear and melodious, it naturally sounded somewhat dignified. Those who had intended to drag her immediately pulled back their hands dejectedly.

Some people were born for this. Though they looked weak, they were intimidating.

An imperceptible gleam flashed across Baili Wuchen’s eyes swiftly. How amazing Lin Mengya was. Originally, he had intended to embarrass her. It did not occur to him that she actually had resolved the embarrassment easily.

Walking gently and gracefully, Lin Mengya walked out of the dungeon, which was full of twists and turns, with ease since she knew this dungeon well.

It seemed that Baili Wuchen only intended to run away on his own. Consequently, though he could have also freed other prisoners in the dungeon, who would be Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s enemies once they were freed, he did not do that.

“Halt! Zhang Liang, could it be that you really intend to betray the prince?”

A furious roar made the group of people halt. Lin Mengya fixed her eyes on the one who was walking toward her. It turned out it was Lin Kui!

Apparently, someone must have leaked this secret. After all, they had been brothers who had even gone through fire and water together. When it came to some things, of course, they could see a clue easily.

The man, wearing a black mask, stood in the front of Baili Wuchen. A trace of pain flashed across his eyes.

As the saying goes, brothers are the ones who are close to you as if they were your hands and feet. If he defected today, he would cut off the brotherhood on his own.

“Lin Kui, you actually are pretty loyal. Well, forget it. Zhang Liang, if you find yourself in an awkward position, you can leave right away.”

Baili Wuchen did not try to convince Zhang Liang to stay. As for the man with a black mask named Zhang Liang, he shook his head determinedly after taking a glimpse at Baili Wuchen.

“As your underling, I won’t leave. In the beginning, without you, Mr. Baili, I would have died on the battlefield early on. Lin Kui, though we are brothers, I definitely have to help Mr. Baili since he saved me before. You can just treat me like a stranger in the future.”

Lin Mengya felt somewhat depressed. Speaking of those who knew this place, they had to be the elites among Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s army, who were deeply trusted by Long TianhaoLong Tianyu.

However, they, who had been intimate brothers before, would fight each other because of Baili Wuchen, which was pretty cruel.

“Well, unfortunately, the prince trusted you so much. If you want to leave here today, you need to do it by stepping on my corpse.”

Lin Kui wielded his mighty sword at his brother, who had been close to him before. The situation in the dungeon became intense all of a sudden. Heartfelt pain showed up in the eyes of many people who were on the scene.

“Okay. In this case, kindly don’t blame me for what I am going to do to you. Come on, Elder Brother Lin, honestly, we have not learned from each other for over 10 years.”

Zhang Liang’s voice sounded fiercely resolute. Lin Mengya felt nervous all of a sudden. She thought, “No! These people definitely can’t fight here!”
