Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 808 - Expose What They Have Done

Chapter 808 Expose What They Have Done

Seeing that Xiaoyu had softened his att.i.tude, Lin Mengya could not bear to continue being strict with him.

It seemed to be a little difficult to make Xiaoyu accept Xiu in a short time.

However, as the saying went, love would come over time.

She had seen this on TV. A man and a woman, who had no feelings for each other and were even enemies, gradually fell for each other after going through some ups and downs together.

She didn’t want to be a feudal dictator who manipulated their relationship.

But Xiu was definitely a wonderful girl. It was hard to say if her naughty brother was good enough for Xiu.

“I know you hate the arranged marriage, but Xiu is really a wonderful girl. At the sight that you confronted her aggressively all the time, I think it’s a little embarra.s.sing for me to be sandwiched between you two. Why don’t you do me a favor and be polite to Xiu in future?” Lin Mengya said.

If Wanyan Yu had irreconcilable hatred for Xiu before, now his view of Xiu changed slightly because of Lin Mengya.

In fact, when he was locked up in Xiu’s room that night, Xiu thought of a way to help him escape.

Therefore, he was not as angry with Xiu as with the other members of the Dongfang Family.

In addition, Lin Mengya spoke up for Xiu again and again, so Xiaoyu naturally would not fire those malicious words at Xiu the next time they met.

“Okay, I promise you. But sister, the Dongfang Family is not as simple as you imagine. You’d better stay away from the members of the Dongfang Family except for Xiu,” Xiaoyu said.

Lin Mengya nodded immediately, seeming to readily accept his advice. In fact, Xiaoyu thought too much.

Since Xiu came to find her in person, she supposed only Xiu and her two trusted servants knew her real ident.i.ty.

In this case, the other members of the Dongfang Family presumably would not try to make use of her.

“Did you get hurt last night?” After calming down a little, Lin Mengya took Xiaoyu’s hand, glanced at him worriedly and asked.

In fact, she asked Xiaoyu to move to the imperial palace in order to prevent him from being suspected and ensure his safety.

Unexpectedly, the Yao Family dared to send some people to seize them in public yesterday.

She was lucky that Xiu happened to learn this and came to seek her in person.

But she had no idea what Xiaoyu had been through last night.

“I’m fine. Rest a.s.sured. Those guys couldn’t hurt me for the time being, but I failed to catch any of them alive. After going back, I will definitely report this to my father and ask him to severely punish the Yao Family!” Xiaoyu said.

He, who showed a trace of viciousness in his eyes at some point, was no longer the teenager he had been.

He even became more merciless when dealing with enemies.

Lin Mengya did not know if this was a good thing, but at least for now, only in this way could he protect himself.

The only thing she could do was to lend him a helping hand.

Lin Mengya lowered her head, thinking about something.

She didn’t raise her head and shake her head slightly under Xiaoyu’s puzzled gaze until the carriage was about to get in the imperial palace.

She said, “I think it’s better to keep it from His Majesty for the time being. But others have learned that you were hunted down last night. I think you’d better tell His Majesty that those who hunted you down were just some punks deliberately provoking you.”

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, Xiaoyu became even more puzzled.

His sister was a vengeful person. He could still vividly remember how she punished the few members of the Willow Gang.

But why did she advise him to keep what happened this time secret?

“Even if you caught any of them alive last night, you may not be able to bring down the Yao Family. Don’t forget that the Yao Family still has the support of the Eldest Prince even after the Empress collapsed. What’s more, the Yao Family adopts quite an interesting att.i.tude towards the Empress’s collapse. I don’t think they will take no countermeasure. Perhaps last night they sent some people to seize you with premeditation,” Lin Mengya said, pondering over the Yao Family’s intention.

Last night, she and Xiaoyu went out on the spur of the moment.

Even if the Yao Family learned this and intended to seize Xiaoyu, they presumably made this decision in haste.

But Xiaoyu was the Ninth Prince for whom the Emperor had the greatest affection and high expectations.

Could it be that the Yao Family was as stupid as the Empress in the imperial palace so that they intended to seize Xiaoyu, such a hot potato, and thus to thoroughly enrage the Emperor?

Perhaps they had long intended to usurp the throne.

Either staging a coup directly or helping the Eldest Prince succeed to the throne by force was considerably risky.

What was more, the other aristocratic families would never turn a blind eye to it, unless they were waiting for an opportunity to arouse suspicion easily and expose what they had done to the Emperor.

But why exactly did they do that?

Lin Mengya furrowed her brows, confused by the current situation.

“No matter why they did that, since you said so, I will do as you told me. Nevertheless, what you said makes sense. I don’t think the Yao Family, which sent some people to seize me in public, seems to be afraid of exposing they are behind the scenes, either. Could it be that they want to be punished by my father?” Xiaoyu muttered to himself, which enlightened Lin Mengya.

“Exactly! That’s right! Xiaoyu, you’re so smart!” Lin Mengya said, grabbed Xiaoyu’s hand excitedly and kissed him.

Xiaoyu, who was kissed on the cheek, froze and looked joyfully at his sister in front of him.

But what exactly did he say?

“Now go to ask Uncle Lie to help us investigate if the Yao Family has any situation. Remember not to believe any superficial clues or miss any traces. Do you get it?” Lin Mengya said.

At the sight that she suddenly became serious, Xiaoyu knew that she would not ask him to do that for no reason despite his puzzlement.

The carriage stopped in front of the imperial palace. Lin Mengya repeatedly told Xiaoyu to be careful before heading for the Fengyu Court worriedly.

If her speculation was true, it would be more difficult than she expected to win the compet.i.tion for the throne of the Lieyun Empire.

The current peaceful situation was just a pond with surging current beneath the water.

Only time could tell her what exactly the truth was.

As soon as she returned to the Fengyu Court, she saw Baisu waiting for her with antic.i.p.ation at the door.

At the sight of Lin Mengya, Baisu immediately ran over and examined Lin Mengya from head to foot as usual. After making sure that she was safe and sound, Baisu put her mind at ease.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. Oh, yes, I heard from Xiaoyu that you were taken away by Wanyan Lie’s men. Sorry, we didn’t know you were not allowed to go there,” Lin Mengya said.

Of course, Baisu would not blame Lin Mengya. In fact, even she had no idea why she was taken away last night.

“Don’t mention it, Miss. I have forgotten about this. It’s all my fault. But I would like to know why I am the only one not allowed to visit the Divine Witch Shrine. Unfortunately, even my master couldn’t explain it,” Baisu said with a helpless look she rarely showed.

She rarely visited the Divine Witch Shrine indeed. Even when her master took her there for some business, her master usually told her to wait far away from the Divine Witch Shrine.

She hadn’t been there for many years.

If she hadn’t been there with Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu last night, she probably would have forgotten about this.

“Well, of course, they did that for some reason. Has Madame come back?” Lin Mengya said.

As they talked, they walked into the Fengyu Court.

Everyone was silently doing their work as usual.

Nevertheless, at the sight of Lin Mengya, they nodded slightly to greet her.

“Well, Madame hasn’t come back yet. Besides, someone came this morning to convey the message that the Empress died of an illness,” Baisu said.

She was dead? Lin Mengya stopped, raised her eyebrows in surprise, glanced at Baisu and asked, “Who conveyed the message? Is it reliable?”

“It’s Ningqiu, Madame’s personal maid. It’s said that the Empress suddenly died of an acute illness. She also said that you were wanted to go there after coming back. But judging from her expression, it’s not an emergency. Miss, why don’t you change your clothes and go there?” Baisu said.

Lin Mengya nodded. She had expected the Empress would end up with a tragedy, but she did not expect her death.

Speaking of this, although the Empress was pitiful, she was really detestable.

But why were Madame and the Emperor so indifferent to the death of the Empress?

Ningqiu still had time to inform them after such a serious thing happened.

Moreover, Ningqiu acted unhurriedly, and all members of the imperial palace acted normally.

Judging from these, the Emperor and Madame Jingrou presumably wanted to make the death of the Empress insignificant.

After changing into a set of plain clothes, Lin Mengya led Baisu to the resting palace of the Emperor.

Lin Mengya didn’t find anything unusual along the way.

The palace servants acted as usual, as though the death of the Empress had no influence on the entire imperial palace.

Weren’t they a bit too merciless?

But when she got in the Emperor’s resting palace, she saw the Emperor and Madame Jingrou playing chess leisurely.

She waited respectfully in the corner. Hearing her footsteps, Madame Jingrou glanced at her with a smile and waved her hand as a hint for the others to leave.

Then Madame Jingrou said, “You’re here. I heard that you hung out with Yu’er last night. How was the Witch Empress’s birthday celebration going? Was it lively on the streets?”

Today Madame Jingrou talked as gently as usual even with unusual ease, seeming to be in a good mood.

“It was very lively on the streets, and everyone seemed to worship the Witch Empress a lot,” Lin Mengya answered.

The game was presumably at the critical moment.

Madame Jingrou held a white piece with her fingers and frowned for a long while before she gently put it down.

Then she said, “Your Majesty, you lost.”
