Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 585 - Execrable Motive

Chapter 585 Execrable Motive

Could it be—

“You mean that Doctor Gu intended to bury these babies alive… in order to create more Venomous Armored Insects! However, Xiu and I did not find any trace of mustard seeds. How could he control the Venomous Armored Insects safely without mustard seeds?”

Lin Mengya was puzzled. She once thought that Doctor Gu intended to deal with the aristocratic families in Yunzhou.

Unexpectedly, there were the eggs of the Venomous Armored Insects planted in these babies.

Could it be that she made a wrong guess?

“Humph, there must be someone helping us solve this mystery. Now, as long as you keep an eye on these babies, they will be fine.”

Compared with Lin Mengya who was anxious and fearful, Baili Rui seemed to be calm.

He must have come up with a way to deal with it.

Although Lin Mengya was anxious, with her teacher by her side, she set her mind at rest.

Therefore, what she should do at the moment was to take good care of those babies so that no one could do anything to them.

“Brother Yixin, I’m sorry to keep you here to work.”

Lin Mengya turned to Xiao Yixin, who had been sitting aside without saying anything.

In fact, he should stay by Long Tianyu’s side to help him appease public feelings or give advice.

Unexpectedly, she inadvertently let Xiao Yixin become one of the few men staying here.

In addition to Xiu and Lin Mengya, there were only some old women and mothers around. Therefore, all the hard work naturally became these strong men’s responsibilities.

“It doesn’t matter. I haven’t thanked you for saving the descendants of our Xiao family. I should take care of these things.”

In the past, someone as arrogant as Xiao Yixin certainly would disdain to do this rough work.

However, what he had been through in this half a year had made him take some things lightly.

Today, Lin Mengya accidentally found that Xiao Yixin, who once looked gentle but was actually arrogant, had learned how to get along with these civilians.

Coupled with his elegant manners, handsome appearance, and gentle att.i.tude, he almost became one of the most popular people in the isolated campsite.

It was beyond her expectation.

“It’s fine. You don’t have to worry about it. With me around, those rascals won’t be able to play any tricks. Little girl, take an early rest. We’re leaving now.”

Such a trick was naturally a piece of cake for Baili Rui, a master of poison-making.

What disgusted him was probably the sinister intentions of these people.

After seeing Baili Rui and Xiao Yixin off, Lin Mengya and Xiu lay on their temporary bed piled up with straws. After a busy day, although she felt a little tired, she couldn’t relax mentally.

“Sister, are you worried that those eggs will hurt the babies?”

Tilting her head, Xiu looked at Lin Mengya with her bright, big, and round eyes and asked.

“You can always figure out what I’m thinking. They shouldn’t have hurt the innocent babies in any case. The Venomous Armored Insects are so powerful, so I’m naturally worried.”

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, Xiu was a little hesitant.

After hesitating for a while, she cautiously observed Lin Mengya’s expression and asked.

“Sister, do you hate those capable of raising venomous insects?”

She asked with nervousness in her eyes, seeming to be afraid that Lin Mengya would discover something.

However, Xiu didn’t know that she somehow revealed her true feelings in front of Lin Mengya all the time.

“No. In fact, venomous insects can’t be right or wrong just like my skill of making poisons. For example, neither this plague nor my teacher can be defined as something right or wrong. In fact, I know that you also raise venomous insects. Don’t be so nervous. I have discovered that you carry plenty of venomous insects and poisons with you a long time ago. There is no poison in this world that can be hidden from me.”

Lin Mengya smiled and mentioned the issue that Xiu had always been worried about.

However, Xiu seemed to get upset again the next second.

“Since you think so, will others have the same thought? I mean, will those very close to you have the same thought?”

This was the second time Xiu had said something like this.

She had shown the intention of learning from Lin Mengya before.

Could it be that this girl had a crush on someone around Lin Mengya?

Long Tianyu? No, the girl seemed to have no feelings for Long Tianyu and usually avoided meeting him as much as possible.

Xiao Yixin didn’t seem to the one. Who was the one? Could it be her cousins?

Lin Mengya thought of a series of names but denied them one after another.

She decided to forget it. Since Xiu didn’t want to tell her at the moment, she could wait until Xiu wanted to tell her.

If it was really someone around her, she would definitely set them up.

At the moment, she had better end her conversation with the curious girl.

“Uh—I don’t know. Well, Xiu, we’ve been busy for a whole day. Let’s take an early rest.”

Seized by a whim, Lin Mengya decided to keep Xiu guessing.

Now Xiu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

She squinted and heard that Xiu kept rolling over beside her but didn’t dare to disturb her.

The little devil in Lin Mengya’s heart somehow became restless.

Alas, the more she experienced, the heavier she felt. However, she forgot that she was still a young girl who hadn’t turned twenty years old yet.

It was true. Why did she feel that despite her rebirth she did not seem to have enjoyed the happiness of returning to her eighteen years old?

After joking with Xiu for a while, Lin Mengya felt much more relaxed.

She couldn’t help thinking of what Long Tianyu had said today.

It had been a year. She didn’t expect that she had come here for almost a year.

But this year she had experienced more than that in the twenty-five years of her last life.

Perhaps this was the real beginning of her life.

Regarding—

In the dark, her pretty face was slightly red.

It seemed that she didn’t hate to have a baby if the baby’s father was Long Tianyu.

At dawn, Lin Mengya woke up on time.

After a night’s rest, she seemed to be refreshed.

After getting dressed, she quietly walked to the river to wash her face. The cool river dispelled the last bit of tiredness in her mind.

The camp across the river had begun to operate.

People came out to fetch water one after another. When they saw Lin Mengya, who was dressed in coa.r.s.e clothes, they froze and then nodded to her in embarra.s.sment.

“Water is very important. The water here is good. Thank you for your hard work.”

Lin Mengya was afraid that the water would be poisoned, so as soon as she came here, she asked her teacher to make up the antidote and asked Long Tianyu to send some people to secretly put it upstream of the river.

However, it was a flowing large river, so it was so easy to be poisoned.

Seeing Princess Yu act so amiably, the man couldn’t help freezing.

After a long while, he said with excitement.

“Yes, the water is very good and makes the meals smell good. Uh… Your Highness, do people across the river cook?”

The man collecting water seemed to be in his forties and looked honest and sincere.

What he said was sincere.

Lin Mengya nodded and gave him a kind smile.

“Yes, it’s all thanks to several old ladies. Both the adults and the babies here are all fine.”

After collecting the water, the man wiped his hands and continued chatting with Lin Mengya.

“My wife has joined you. Alas, what a tragedy. The babies are too young to suffer this. If it weren’t for Your Highness, these babies probably would have…”

Hearing what he said, Lin Mengya understood why he came to collect water so early.

He probably wanted to see his wife.

“One who survives a great disaster is destined to be fortunate later. Besides, it’s Prince Yu who saved them. Please go back quickly. I’ll take good care of your wife.”

The man collecting water immediately nodded in agreement, picked up the buckets filled with clear water, and walked to the camp.

Lin Mengya stood up and watch people bustling at the campsite across the river.

It seemed that the situation was a little different from what she thought. Perhaps, the people here were not extremely cruel.

In that case, it seemed to be a little weird that yesterday everyone pointed an accusing finger at her, who stopped the babies from being buried.

It seemed that she couldn’t dispel her doubts and get the answer until she met both of the doctors surnamed Gu.

Lin Mengya turned around and started to check the tents one by one.

Yesterday, they saved a total of forty babies. But for the sake of keeping warm, ten people lived in a tent.

For fear that the burning charcoal would make the tents suffocating, Lin Mengya specially heated each straw bed with burning charcoal before making them.

When she got in to have a check, all the mothers and their babies were sleeping soundly and comfortably.

It was even warmer in the simple tents than in a house.

“Your… Sister Mengya, why are you here?”

As soon as she entered the tent, Xiao Yixin’s cousin-in-law looked at Lin Mengya in surprise and asked.

But at this moment, her heart was only filled with grat.i.tude to Lin Mengya.

“I’m here to take a look. How did you sleep? Are you used to staying here?”

Lin Mengya walked to the bedside of Xiao Yixin’s cousin-in-law and chatted with her in a low voice.

“Yes. It’s even better here than at home. I don’t have enough milk and Qi’er’s wet nurse isn’t here. Without the help of Sister Zhu next door, Qi’er would probably have to starve.”

Although Xiao Yixin’s cousin-in-law was from a notable family, she didn’t seem to be arrogant at all.

Lin Mengya looked at the lovely baby who was still sleeping in the cradle made of a bamboo basket beside Xiao Yixin’s cousin-in-law.

Watching the chubby and delicate baby, she couldn’t help reaching out to gently caress his little face.

“Sister Mengya, you and Prince Yu have been married for almost a year. Why hasn’t there been any good news yet?”

Lin Mengya didn’t put on airs. Xiao Yixin’s cousin-in-law felt closer to Lin Mengya because of the relationship between the Xiao Family and the Lin Family.

Seeing that she adored the baby, Xiao Yixin’s cousin-in-law couldn’t help teasing her.

“Me? We don’t have to rush. It’s still early.”

Although Lin Mengya maintained her composure, she inevitably felt a little shy.
