Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 309 - A Counterplan

“Thanks to you, Your Highness, Hua’er is safe. The human heart is sinister here. But to my surprise, it became as bad as this. As a mother, I’m really bitterly disappointed.”

Consort Xian said this and tried to befriend her.

Lin Mengya slightly shook her head and said, “Don’t blame yourself. More caution is needed. The prince is too young. One who survives a great disaster is destined to good fortune for the rest of their life. But you need to do a good search in your palace, Your Highness.”

Whatever position Consort Xian was in, harming her child was still obscene. Lin Mengya despised that kind of person. Since she encountered it, she then would not look on indifferently.

“That’s exactly what I’m thinking of. But I’m so blind in my daily life that I didn’t find someone harming my kid in time! Princess Yu, please help me remove these evils soon!”

Of course Lin Mengya would like to do her a favor. But she did not want to help her in a big way.

Now that they dared to kidnap the prince in the palace, the one behind them had to be very powerful, and Consort Xian knew that clearer than she did.

“Consort Xian, could I tell you my opinion?”

Consort Xian agreed of course. After all, Lin Mengya was involved.

“Today, the prince was kidnapped. It seems to be have been planned by someone. If it carries on, plots in secret can never be foreseen, even if you were to watch him day and night, Your Highness.”

Consort Xian nodded her approval. What Lin Mengya said was exactly what she was worried about.

If there was a person in the palace holding great hatred against her son, Consort Xian knew clearly who the person was.

“You’re right, Your Highness. But Hua’er is just a little kid. If he is sent away to be brought up by others, then he and I will be separated and will never see each other. Besides, what if Hua’er has an accident? I can’t live then.”

Then, tears welled up in her eyes and Consort Xian looked very sympathetic.

Family separation was sad. But Consort Xian, a powerless woman, was crying to ask for her sympathy.

If it were before, Lin Mengya would not care. But at this time, even for Yinghua’s sake, Lin Mengya would have a reaction to her crying.

After thinking about it with her head lowered, Lin Mengya said, “If the 10th prince is still a clever boy like this, of course he will be targeted by them. But after today’s accident and the kidnapper’s harm, if he were to become a silly boy when he wakes up, would he be less dangerous to the one behind the scenes?”

Lin Mengya did not think that she should finish her words.

Consort Xian was clever, or Yinghua would not be brought up to be a naughty boy. As Lin Mengya expected, after thinking about it, Consort Xian immediately knew what Lin Mengya meant. Her face looked very satisfied and she repeatedly said thanks.

“What a good plan, Your Highness. But I’m afraid that Hua’er may be too young to deceive others.”

Lin Mengya did not think so. Children are naive but if parents tried to deceive others in the right way, it would be all right.

“Tomorrow, everyone will know about what happened today. The doctors are unable to look after the prince day and night so it will stand to reason that Consort Xian entrusts me to take care of him for now.”

Consort Xian turned her tears into smiles. But Long Tianyu might be the reason for her obedience to Lin Mengya.

Since that person already took action in public, Consort Xian might have a tough life if she had no backing.

“Well then, thank you, Your Highness. I’m a consort but there’s a limit. But I’ll do my best to help you whenever you need me.”

Lin Mengya just smiled and did not express an opinion.

Only Consort Xian herself new how much truth was in her words. Promising was the cheapest method to draw others to help her. Of course it was stock-in-trade.

Consort Xian then said lots of intimate words. Lin Mengya accepted them all. But even Baisu, who was serving them, could not bear those sweet words.

Therefore, when Consort Xian left, Baisu was relieved.

“How sweet-mouthed Consort Xian is. If others are not in the know, they may think that you two are real sisters, Master.”

A sweet-mouthed person might have a brutal heart.

If Consort Xian’s son became a fool, if she were Consort Xian, she would either keep it to herself or make it public by making a disturbance to make everyone suffer a loss.

But she did not know which one Consort Xian would choose.

Dawn was just breaking. Lin Mengya took Baisu back to their house.

When they saw Lin Mengya and Baisu came back, Pearl and Agate overcautiously hid in the corner and dared not come to question them.

“They haven’t given up. I thought that they might have learned a lesson. But what a pity that they are still the same.”

Baisu sneered. But Lin Mengya just smiled.

They had their master and their tasks. Fate should be to blame.

“Ignore them. The accident of the 10th prince last night is already spreading out. We can’t keep it from them. It’s better for everyone to be in the know.”

Lin Mengya went back to the main room with Baisu and had meals as usual. Then, under Pearl’s and Agate’s surveillance, she took Baisu out of their room and went to the Court of Imperial Physicians.

The doctors were on rotation recently. Minister Su, the four great doctors, and even Qiu Yu were absent. What had happened to Vice Minister Cui scared them all too much to get close to Lin Mengya and Baisu. Therefore, after politely bowing to greet them, they did not stop Lin Mengya from entering her room and studying the remedy for Duotian Root.

Lin Mengya fetched the prescription that she made particularly from Shen Nung. They were all common medicines, which made it difficult for her to be discovered by the spy in the hospital if she remained cautious.

But before lunchtime, the Court of Imperial Physicians, which was very quiet every day, became busy today.

Lin Mengya looked out and then told Baisu to figure it out.

In a minute, Baisu came back with a strange smile on her face.

“Yonghe Palace is bubbling with noise about the 10th prince. Early this morning, Consort Xian went to the resting palace of the empress, knelt down in floods of tears, and asked for an explanation. Later, the empress said something. Consort Xian failed to have a full breath and fainted to the ground. Now, Yonghe Palace is in chaos.”

Lin Mengya, who was bending over to check herbs, calmly looked up at Baisu.

Consort Xian was indeed a clever woman. Her actions made it more real that the 10th prince became a silly boy.

After all, it was well known that Consort Xian counted on the 10th prince.

If he became an idiot, how could it be possible for Consort Xian to leave the matter at that?

“All right, I got it.”

No matter whether the empress had done it or not, it became trouble already. If she failed to duly handle it, then others would have a bad opinion of her. But Lin Mengya did not know if Consort Xian was clever enough. If she did not carry on, the effect of her disturbance would be reduced.

But Lin Mengya was unable to fend for herself. Otherwise, she would like to do her a favor and then the empress would be busier.

“Oh, a message from Prince Yu. He will come to see you after lunch.”

Lin Mengya stopped for a while and then nodded.

She sighed silently. “At this time, why does he want to come into the palace?”

After lunch, Long Tianyu went into the palace with Lin Kui.

He had already walked on the road in the palace many times. But he felt extremely excited this time.

“Is she all right in the palace?”

When he got back before, others told him everything.

The plan to rescue the emperor was indeed given away. Nearly half of those dancers for the banquet disappeared for no reason.

If he did not react very quickly, the secret about the North Tower might be exposed to the public.

Even so, the North Tower was being monitored by some people. Long Tianyu had no choice but to stop and leave Liaozhu to save the situation.

But those dancers all came from n.o.ble families. The North Tower survived but they were involved.

But to his surprise, the empress and the Crown Prince would keep Lin Mengya in the palace after they failed to frame him. It made him feel like being burned in oil.

The small house where Lin Mengya lived already came into his view.

Long Tianyu couldn’t help picking up the pace. But when he opened the door, he found in disappointment that there were only two strange maids there.

Pearl and Agate knew Prince Yu. They immediately greeted him. Long Tianyu gave them an indifferent glance and did not say anything.

“Get up, you two. Do you know where Princess Yu has gone?” Lin Kui, who knew clearly Long Tianyu’s habits, asked immediately. Pearl hemmed and hawed.

“Your Highness, right now Her Highness should be in the Court of Imperial Physicians. Her Highness often stays there for a whole day. But we’re not sure. Last night, Her Highness didn’t come back until this morning.”

Her tone was humble but her words sounded like she was sowing discord.

Long Tianyu’s eyes turned cold and he looked at them out of the corner of his eyes.

Just one sentence gave him clues of who their master was.

Long Tianyu did not want to listen to their words and turned around to leave here.

“You’d better be smart when serving Princess Yu, or she will become a more brutal master than your master.”

Long Tianyu’s voice became icy. Even Lin Kui did not like the two stupid maids.

His Princess Yu was a really clever woman. They would be all right if they did nothing wrong, but—

Pearl and Agate exchanged glances and saw great regret in each other’s eyes.
