Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

However, his curiosity got the better of him and he wanted to hear from Lin Mengya first.

This woman stood out from other women in that she was always so full of creative ideas.

Among her ideas, some were unheard of and unseen.

He wondered how much of her mind was still unknown to him.

"Your Highness, please help by first spreading the word that the killer has been found."

Lin Mengya showed a mysterious smile, which was her signature smile. By so doing, she made Long Tianhao itched in the heart.

When she smiled in this way, Long Tianhao knew someone would get into trouble soon.

"Alright," said Long Tianhao, driven by his emotions. Long Tianhao was himself unaware, how much he doted on this woman.

"Thank you so much, Your Highness. We’ll wait for the good news then."

Lin Mengya smiled with a coldness hidden in her smile.

She could tell from what she saw that both King Ming and the Crown Prince were fully aware of how Elder Sister Yue Ting was humiliated.

Otherwise, how did they jump to the conclusion that it had to do with her, who had a deep grudge against Hu Lunan?

One was the King Ming of the western vassal state, while the other was the Crown Prince of Dajin. How outrageous of them!

How could they condone such a filthy and vile act and yet behave as if they were in the right?

Where was justice in this world?

In that case, she had no reason to be kind when dealing with them.

While Lin Mengya was engrossed in her emotions, she did not realize that the man in front of her was looking at her with such tenderness.

The two of them had returned to Prince Yu’s tent secretly, so much so that no one noticed them at all.

Long Tianhao stood outside the entrance of the tent and watched Lin Mengya as she entered through it and eventually disappeared out of his sight.

In an instant, the tender look on his face faded away like melting snow.

What remained was his usually dispassionate expression as he turned to leave the tent.

He supposed it was his usual way of not wanting to create any stir but always keeping the peace which led the Crown Prince to think that he was weak and easily manipulated.

"Lin Kui, get someone to secretly spread the rumor that we have captured the assassin who tried to kill Hu Lunan."

Lin Mengya’s plan was brilliant, but in order for them not to give the game away, he had to create some hot news item.

"Yes, Your Highness."

While Lin Kui excused himself to carry out his instructions, Long Tianhao returned to Long Qinghan’s tent.

The moment Long Tianhao entered the tent, what came into sight was Long Qinghan lying on the bed, reeking of alcohol. Long Tianhao could not help frowning.

This lad must have gone drinking somewhere to end up in this state.

"What happened, Third Elder Brother? Did you get thrown out of the tent by Third Sister-in-law again?"

Long Qinghan laughed in a teasing way. To him, his Third Elder Brother had been continuously compromising with his wife since he got to know her.

Long Tianhao ignored him, sat down on a small stool and started flipping through the documents in front of him.

"However, what do you intend to do about the matter regarding Yue Ting, Third Elder Brother?"

Long Qinghan seemed to have sobered up from the alcohol, judging from his look. His blurry eyes had recovered and he was able to focus on the man in front of him.

"The matter regarding Yue Ting had all along been a planned scheme. Not only were these people targeting the Yue and the Lin Families, they meant to force me into action too."

The Lins had been linked up with Prince Yu’s household through his marriage. The glory or the shame of either family would affect the other.

This was why Long Tianhao began to harbor the thought of fighting the Crown Prince.

"Are you not worried that this was the Queen’s intention and part of her plan?"

In fact, the one person they should fear most was the woman in the chamber of imperial concubines, not the Crown Prince, who was not the real threat.

The Queen possessed the supreme authority, having come from a powerful family. The extent of her power was beyond what they imagined.

Long Tianhao shook his head and the expression on his face said that he was thinking deep and hard.

"I would think that what happened was a collaboration between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of the western vassal state. If the Queen finds out about it, the Crown Prince would inevitably be reprimanded."

Although they were always on their toes, it did not satisfy the Crown Prince.

The Queen had retained a monopoly on power. She had total control over the Crown Prince all this time, citing the reason that the Crown Prince was too young and inexperienced, so he was not thorough in his considerations.

While this time, the Crown Prince was trying to prove himself, however, what happened only went to show that he had exhausted all his ideas.

Without a doubt, this was an opportunity Heavens had given to them.

"You’re absolutely right. That old woman is so shrewd that she would never let happen such a thing which oversteps the bounds of what is proper."

A gentle smile broke out on Long Qinghan’s face, while in fact, he was harboring bad intentions.

"If someone were to report to the Queen right now about the entire incident, the Crown Prince would likely be severely reprimanded."

In terms of causing harm to others, they were all very skillful. Moreover, they would not be merciful when they do cause harm.

"If that were to happen, the Crown Prince would not have the energy to care about his collaboration with King Ming."

Long Tianhao said flatly as if causing the Crown Prince harm had nothing to do with him.

Another day passed with the campground being in a tumult. Lin Mengya had shut herself up in the tent ever since afternoon.

The initial plan was to return to the capital city after three days, but now it seemed that the return journey would be delayed indefinitely.

Every pair of eyes was on Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya.

They could not wait to witness how they would capture the murderer.

"Is there no improvement whatsoever?"

Lin Mengya frowned while she looked at the imperial physician took Yue Ting’s pulse, her eyes filled with worry.

"Your Highness, Princess Yu, Miss Yue’s illness is of the heart. There is no medication that can help."

The imperial physician looked at Prince Yu with a helpless expression. Everyone knew that Miss Yue and Princess Yu were very close.

The imperial physician thought that it would be good and well if he managed to heal Miss Yue. If not, he was afraid he would provoke Princess Yu to anger.

"Illness of the heart?"

Yue Ting had not wakened from her sleep since the day she spoke to Lin Mengya.

Yue Ting had refused to wake up no matter how hard Lin Mengya and Yue Qi tried to wake her.

Over a period of two days, Yue Ting had become pallid and feeble-looking.

The sight of Yue Ting looking so pale on her face, her feeble breathing made Lin Mengya very anxious, but she had no idea how to help her.

"Elder Sister, it doesn’t help to be so anxious. Why don’t you take a rest and eat something? Who will take care of Elder Sister Yue Ting if you collapse too?"

Lin Zhongyu said, apparently pained to see how Lin Mengya refused to take a break from taking care of Yue Ting. How would she find the energy to continue on?

"Indeed, Miss, you are our pillar! What should we do if even you collapse?"

They had come to this place, all excited, but now, a miserable ambiance had chased away all the initial exhilaration.

From the day Yue Ting met with the mishap, the four maidservants could sense the tension in the air. The smiley expression on everyone’s face had turned into a dejected look.

Snow lay quietly beside Lin Mengya’s feet and kept its watery eyes on Lin Mengya all the time.

Seeing that everyone was looking upset, Lin Mengya knew she should not continue doing this.

"Elder Sister Lin, I know you’re worried about my sister," said Yue Qi as she wiped away her tears and forced a smile on her face.

"Qi’er knows that Elder Sister Lin, you are trying your best, wrecking your brains for a way to revenge for my sister, but you still have to take care of your health."

Yue Qi had been staying with Lin Mengya for the past few days.

While Mrs. Yue had sent men to them a number of times, her men were been chased away by Baishao’s scolding every time.

Eventually, it was said that Uncle Yue was so enraged with Mrs. Yue that he rebuked her severely, thereby putting a stop to the commotion.

"I really appreciate your kind intentions. Rest assured that I’ll be alright."

Lin Mengya tried to suppress her sadness and hide it in her heart, and gradually she was looking more relaxed.

This was not the time to be overcome by sadness.

Hu Lunan was already a useless man, but in the world, there were still countless people who took the side of evil-doers.

"Qi’er, come with me, I’m going to see your father."

Baiji helped Lin Mengya into a jade green cape and straightened her dress all the way to the hem. To the eyes of an outsider, she was still the invincible Princess Yu before King Ming and the Crown Prince.

Accompanied by Yue Qi, the two walked across the campground, while all time, they could hear the whispers of the people along the way.

As the vicious words the people used to attack her beloved elder sister went into her ears, Yue Qi’s little face was drained of its colors as she tried hard to endure those words.

Her pair of hands under the cape was balled up in fists. All of a sudden, her cold hands were wrapped around by a pair of warm and gentle hands.

"Elder Sister Lin, I..." Yue Qi lifted her face, which looked as if she was going to burst out crying and her grimacing face was caught by Lin Mengya’s eyes.

She could read from Lin Mengya’s eyes that Lin Mengya was trying to encourage her to keep her sorrows in her heart and to brace herself so that she did not betray the sadness in her.

"Qi’er, now that your sister is broken, you are the only hope of the Yue’s now. Don’t let people’s perception control you."

Apart from Yue Qi, the rest of the Yue family felt ashamed of Yue Ting.

Even Mrs. Yue had drawn a clear line between her daughter and herself. Yue Qi was the only one staying by her sister side every day to take care of her.

"Me? How could I ever match up to my sister? My sister is the real pride of the Yue Family."

She lowered her head as those useless tears streamed down once again.

Yue Ting’s name had spread across the capital city the year she turned 13. Compared to the daughters of many respectable families in the capital city, she was one of the most talented and beautiful.

In the eyes of Yue Qi, her elder sister was like a fairy in heaven. She was the one and only goddess to her.

However, her fairy had been ruined, and her world had crumbled as a result.

"You are Yue Ting’s blood sister, so you are exactly like her."

The Yues had only two daughters through Mr. Yue first wife. Although he had begotten a son through a concubine, this son could not be his heir after all.

However, Yue Qi was too young to understand matters concerning this.

Soon, Lin Mengya was nearing the tent where the Yues were staying. She could clearly feel the tension in the air building up as she approached it.

"Please inform Uncle Yue that Princess Yu has come to visit."

Many of the servants of the Yue Family had received much kindness from Yue Ting, for this reason, they were also exceptionally grateful to Lin Mengya.

The servants guarding outside immediately entered the tent to inform their master, and they back in a moment.

"Please come this way, Princess Yu and Second Miss."

In return for their courtesy, Lin Mengya nodded, grabbed hold of Yue Qi’s hand and entered the Yue’s tent.
