Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 583 - Keep Them Alive

Chapter 583 Keep Them Alive

Judging from the reaction of the onlookers just now, Lin Mengya clearly knew Doctor Gu was more influential than she had thought.

If she put pressure on Doctor Gu with Long Tianyu’s ident.i.ty as soon as she showed up, it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the civilians in the camp instead.

Moreover, those soldiers seemed to have been brainwashed by Doctor Gu.

If a riot broke out, there would be no way to save these innocent babies.

Fortunately, Doctor Gu was not quite smart.

He fell into Lin Mengya’s trap in a short conversation with her.

At this moment, he had no way to back down.

Knowing Lin Mengya’s ident.i.ty, the surrounding refugees were all shocked.

After hearing that she was willing to take care of these babies, they had no reason to continue standing in her way.

After all, since someone as n.o.ble as Princess Yu could take care of these babies, they had better wait and see.

“You… you’re risking our lives! Even you are Princess Yu, you can’t do that!”

Doctor Gu no longer sounded as confident as before.

Instead, he sounded a little hoa.r.s.e and forced. Of course, Lin Mengya knew that he was afraid that his secret would be found out, so she immediately set a trap for him after hearing what he said.

“Doctor Gu, you are really worried about it. How about my taking care of these babies beside the camp? In this way, there won’t be any risk of infecting others. Doctor Gu, doctors are benevolent. You actually intend to bury these babies for the sake of everyone’s safety, don’t you?”

Lin Mengya put Doctor Gu in a difficult position with a few words.

Now it was really hard for him to back down.

Although most of the onlookers were indifferent, there were still some soft-hearted women, who couldn’t bear to see those poor babies crying piteously for food die in this way.

So they involuntarily joined Lin Mengya in pleading Doctor Gu.

Lin Mengya bent down and picked up one of the babies, who looked lovely and naughty.

At that time, the baby had been tired from crying. He lay in Lin Mengya’s arms naturally with his head tilted and gradually fell asleep.

“Guys, I want to stop this plague as much as you do. Nevertheless, all babies here are the most precious to their parents. If it were your baby who is going to be buried today, would you give your baby a chance?”

Lin Mengya said in a gentle and sincere tone, which could easily move people’s hearts.

At this moment, there was a burst of tender maternal brilliance on her delicate face.

Not to mention those refugees, even the most iron-hearted person would be moved by her.

“Father, the little babies are so pitiful. Don’t bury them, please!”

A timid voice of a child came from the crowd.

Lin Mengya looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl with two buns on her head.

At this moment, the girl was looking pitifully at her father with a pair of big watery eyes.

The man, who had been tough just now, somehow had his heart suddenly softened by his little daughter’s childish words.

After sighing in a low voice, he picked up his daughter with a pair of brawny hands.

“Her Highness is right. The babies are innocent. Why don’t we do as Her Highness said?”

A person with a softened heart brought about a chain of effects.

It must be because Lin Mengya’s gentle and sincere words were more moving than Doctor Gu’s threat.

There came voices echoing Lin Mengya’s view continuously. Some old women, who had their children and even grandchildren, even volunteered to help Lin Mengya and the others take care of the babies.

They said that it was well worth it if they could exchange their a few remaining years for the babies’ lives.

Children’s innocence, mothers’ tenderness, and fathers’ sense of responsibility gradually melted the ice.

Even Long Tianyu did not expect the situation to change so quickly.

He involuntarily froze for a while, in which he glanced at the lady, who lowered her head to look at the baby in her arms.

She lifted the corners of her rosy lips to show a gentle smile at some point in time.

Long Tianyu felt his heart skipped a beat when he saw her holding the baby in her arms.

If it were their baby that she was holding in her arms—

Long Tianyu couldn’t help feeling warm and seemed to be looking forward to it.

“Doctor Gu, please listen to the public opinion. These babies will definitely be grateful to you.”

Lin Mengya held the baby in her arms and said softly.

At this moment, female warmth and tenderness were actually more convincing than a cold threat.

More and more people turned to support Lin Mengya.

Seeing that he could no longer suppress the situation, Doctor Gu glared at Lin Mengya with his gloomy eyes.

He seemed to be blaming her for meddling in his business.

“Humph, since that’s the case, Your Highness, do as you please. However, I have to warn you. If you get everyone into trouble, you will have to bear the responsibility!”

Lin Mengya nodded with a smile while glancing at the shameless Doctor Gu with her sharp eyes.

He didn’t have the smell of mustard seeds and didn’t even wear a mask made of human skin.

But he acted differently from the one everyone described.

Could it be that this Doctor Gu was the real one but just showed his true features?

Thinking of this, Lin Mengya found it really necessary to investigate it carefully.

Nevertheless, the most important thing right now was to help these babies and their mothers settle down properly.

These babies here were all in their suckling period. She wondered what such a frightening experience would do to them and their mothers.

“Your Highness, please send some people to set up tents five miles away for us. Guys, thank you for your understanding and support. However, in order to prevent the plague from spreading, please don’t come near. Anyone willing to help should get a medicinal sachet from me first. Thank you for enduring this. His Highness has brought a lot of supplies for you, and they will be distributed to you in a while.”

Lin Mengya seemed to enjoy great popularity among the refugees. After hearing her words, the refugees gradually dispersed.

With no one stopping them, the mothers rushed to the edge of the deep hole one after another, cried with joy, and held their babies in their arms.

“Thank you, thank you. Your Highness, you… you’re really a kind person!”

The mothers of these babies had been choking with sobs.

Lin Mengya shook her head and looked around, only to find something strange.

There seemed to be only babies and their mothers around. Where had their fathers gone?

“Sisters, don’t mention it. Get up. Your babies are still in their suckling period. Strong emotions could stop milk secretion so that your babies will starve. By the way, where are your husbands? Why are you and your babies left here without them?”

Long Tianyu also noticed that something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and stood behind Lin Mengya silently.

They had formed a tacit understanding, so they naturally would not waste their time talking it over before Lin Mengya asked the women.

“We… we all came from another camp. Our family members are in different camps. Doctor Gu said that babies are young and easy to get sick, so he sent some people to bring us here.”

A woman holding her baby tightly said in a low voice. Although her head and face were filthy with grime, Lin Mengya could still tell that this woman was dressed in satin clothes.

After observing carefully for a while, Lin Mengya found that except for a few women dressed in coa.r.s.e clothes, the rest of them here were all dressed in fine clothes.

“Madam, may I ask which family you married into?”

The woman revealed a few wisps of bitterness before she spoke softly.

“I’m the granddaughter-in-law of the Xiao family in Yunzhou.”

“The Xiao Family? Is your husband from the same clan as the Xiao Family in the capital?”

Madam Xiao nodded in astonishment, while Lin Mengya was a little surprised.

She didn’t expect to meet Xiao Yixin’s clansman here!

“Cousin-in-law, why are you here?”

Coincidentally, Xiao Yixin, who came to help at this moment, saw this woman by chance.

Struck by strong emotions, he recognized her.

After freezing for a while, Madam Xiao recognized that the man in front of her turned out to be her cousin from far away in the capital city.

She burst into tears at once and spoke in a trembling voice as if she found the pivot.

“Cousin… I thought you… Good, good. Your brother will be very glad to see you.”

Lin Mengya found the family reunion very rare.

However, she winked at Xiao Yixin, and Xiao Yixin immediately understood what she meant.

As he tried to comfort his cousin-in-law, he was also trying to get some information out of her.

“These people are probably not selected at random.”

Long Tianyu glanced at Doctor Gu’s tent and said with a hint of suppressed coldness in his tone.

…

“Yes, if I didn’t guess wrong, most of these babies, who were going to be buried alive, are probably the descendants of those notable families.”

At this point, Lin Mengya almost made the same guess.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had run into it today, these innocent babies would have been killed.

“I won’t let him go, let alone those clans.”

Long Tianyu said coldly with a sneer.

As Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu, a few thoughts came to her mind.

Soon, she looked at Long Tianyu with expectation and a hint of coldness in her eyes.

“Well, he has been too radical. Although those clans are now like homeless dogs, they have complicated connections. How can he, a little scoundrel, exterminate them?”

Moreover, Doctor Gu sought trouble for himself.

He just picked a wrong time by playing such a vicious trick when Long Tianyu was around.

This time he was like a goblin b.u.mping into the King of h.e.l.l, who was going to torture him so severely that he would rather die.

“In the next few days, I’m going to take care of these babies and their mothers elsewhere. For the time being, I can’t help you with the affairs in the camp. Come on, Prince Yu.”
