Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 834 - Puzzlement About the Divine Witch

Chapter 834 Puzzlement About the Divine Witch

It seemed that this matter needed further consideration.

“In that case, let’s put this matter aside for the time being. If you really want to investigate into it, don’t alarm anyone. I think you can start from the Divine Witch Shrine,” Lin Mengya said.

This matter was not only related to Baisu, but also might be related to other secrets.

Lin Mengya had intended to inquire about it from indirect sources and make a plan after finding out the whole story.

But Baisu was even more anxious than she thought.

It made sense. It was impossible for anyone who had gone through this to act as if nothing had happened.

Since she had promised Baisu to investigate into this, she might as well offer Baisu a clue first.

“The Divine Witch Shrine? What do my memories have to do with it?” Baisu asked.

Seeing her puzzled look, Lin Mengya explained patiently, “Think about this, since your master even forbade you to mention it, you will probably get no answer even if you ask others about it. Do you remember that you were taken away after getting out of the Divine Witch Shrine during our last visit there? I think if you find out the connection between you and the Divine Witch Shrine, it will be helpful to your investigation into this matter.”

Lin Mengya was good at making painstaking a.n.a.lyses, as her abnormally good memory enabled her to avoid missing crucial clues.

If she hadn’t returned to this time and s.p.a.ce with the Shen Nung system, she probably would have gotten killed many times.

Baisu’s eyes lit up all of a sudden.

She said, “You are right. How could I forget that? Nevertheless, ordinary people can’t enter the Divine Witch Shrine easily, and the Divine Witch is said to be extraordinarily capable. If I go there rashly, I’m afraid I will be discovered by the Divine Witch and forbidden to go there again even if I’m not discovered by Prince Lie’s men.”

Hearing Baisu’s mention this, Lin Mengya remembered what she wanted to tell Baisu that day.

They had always been cautious when having conversations. Moreover, Lin Mengya was under the protection of Baisu and the other men of Xiaoyu.

So ordinary people definitely could not approach her room.

Even so, Lin Mengya still motioned for Baisu to check around her room and then returned to her room to continue their conversation.

“Don’t tell anyone about what I’m going to tell you, not even Xiaoyu,” Lin Mengya said.

After taking a deep breath, she said with a serious look, “The Divine Witch looked exactly like Baizhi. If she had not been a disabled person unable to move freely, I would have thought that they were of the same family.”

Baisu stared blankly at Lin Mengya with her eyes wide open which indicated her astonishment.

Obviously, she was as shocked at this matter as Lin Mengya.

It even took her a long time to return to herself as she was keenly aware of what the Divine Witch’s ident.i.ty meant.

She said, “How… how is this possible? Miss, didn’t you say that Baizhi had grown up with you since childhood? The Divine Witch is old enough to be her mother. Besides, the Divine Witch came out of the Witch Empress’s tomb. How could she be related to Baizhi? Miss, did you make a mistake?”

Lin Mengya could make a mistake about other people.

But she and Baizhi, who had worked as her maid for over ten years, had supported each other through thick and thin.

How could she make a mistake about her sister who had grown up with her?

“As you said, the Divine Witch is old enough to be Baizhi’s mother, but she does not look that old. She looks only in her twenties,” Lin Mengya said.

If she said they were biological sisters, it could be convincing.

If she said the Divine Witch was Baizhi’s mother, the Divine Witch was supposed to be nearly 40 years old now even if she gave birth to Baizhi at the age of 17 or 18.

Moreover, all the Divine Witches came out from the Witch Empress’s tomb.

It was impossible for the Divine Witch to have a baby before coming out, wasn’t it?

Furthermore, no matter how incredible the medical skill in ancient times was, girls could not have babies before they grew s.e.xually mature.

In this case, the Divine Witch did an extraordinary job in maintaining her appearance.

Baisu shook her head and explained to Lin Mengya, “As I estimate, the Divine Witch is 40 years old this year. But I heard that as the descendants of the Witch Empress and the King of Various Venomous Insects, all the Divine Witches can maintain their appearances they have in their twenties until they die, which has become one of the miracles of the Divine Witches. A mult.i.tude of people wanted to find out about how they maintain their appearances, but all failed without exception.”

Baisu’s explanation shocked Lin Mengya.

Staying young until death was a dream numerous women had pursued throughout their lives!

Sure enough, things related to the Witch Empress and the King of Various Venomous Insects were more or less legendary.

Lin Mengya, who admired it, was even more curious. “Could my foodie maid Baizhi really be the illegitimate daughter of the Divine Witch?” She thought.

“Do you think Baizhi could be…” Lin Mengya said.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Baisu who kept shaking her head, “It’s impossible. Although the Divine Witch is powerful, she can’t get out of the Lieyun Empire during her lifetime. Once, there was a Divine Witch who accidentally stepped out of the country, and she got old and died in an instant and turned into ashes. Therefore, the Divine Witches even seldom got out of the Divine Witch Shrine. Moreover, I’ve never heard of any Divine Witch getting married, let alone having a child.”

It was so abnormal. Lin Mengya felt a chill down her spine.

How should she put it? Since she discovered her connection with the King of Various Venomous Insects and the Witch Empress, she had encountered one and another weird things.

If she believed they were related to supernatural beings, she got a reasonable explanation after getting to the bottom of each of them.

If she did not believe that, they were a bit too incredible, weren’t they?

“Then can’t the Divine Witch get married? Is she permitted to do that?”

Baisu pondered for a moment and shook her head slightly.

“The Divine Witch enjoys a supreme status. Even His Majesty and Madame can’t order her, the only person conveying the Witch Empress and the King of Various Venomous Insects’ will, to do anything. No one can permit her to do anything,” Baisu mumbled.

The Divine Witches were the freest people in the Lieyun Empire.

They could be worshiped even without getting out of the Divine Witch Shrine and almost did not have any duty other than serving the Witch Empress and the King of Various Venomous Insects.

Besides, they didn’t have to worry that they would be replaced.

“You’re right. Nevertheless, I still want to go to the Divine Witch Shrine for an inquiry when I have the time. If by any chance our foodie sister Baizhi is really related to the Divine Witch, it will be a great thing, won’t it?” In fact, Lin Mengya was just saying that.

Maybe there were two people who looked exactly the same in the world.

Lin Mengya was sure that Baizhi had seldom gone out since she came to the Lin’s Mansion. How could she be related to the supreme Divine Witch?

It seemed that Lin Mengya had thought too much.

However, in Lin Mengya’s opinion, in order to find out the truth of Baisu’s missing memories, she must find out Baisu’s background.

It was a great cut-in point to investigate the connection between Baisu and the Divine Witch Shrine.

At present, because the Meeting of Venomous Insects was going to be held, most of Wanyan Lie’s force had been sent to the venue.

Even if some of his force were watching over Baisu, they might not be able to hide themselves from her.

With Lin Mengya’s help, how could Baisu be seized easily?

She asked Baisu to buy a house not far away from the Divine Witch Shrine in her name and go there for a temporary stay every time Baisu got out of the imperial palace to help her handle business.

Apart from that, she asked Baisu to have the information she gathered sent to the house and meet the messengers there.

In this way, the house would become her contact office that could not only attract those people’s attention but also make it convenient for Baisu’s investigation.

The last step was also the most critical step in Lin Mengya’s plan.

She asked Baisu to gather all kinds of strange, significant and interesting things that had happened over the past 20 years in various names.

As soon as Baisu got any news, Baisu should quickly cla.s.sify it and then get into the imperial palace to present it to Lin Mengya.

In this way, Lin Mengya could make an a.n.a.lysis and find out which news was related to Baisu’s background and which was related to others.

Perhaps apart from Baisu’s background, she would get some bonuses.

After all, helping Xiaoyu fight for the throne was one of her important motives for coming here.

Speaking of this, Lin Mengya had sent someone to keep an eye on everything happening in the Xiannan Hall since Xin Luan tactfully refused to meet her during her last visit there.

But regretfully, Xin Luan, the High Priest of the Xin Family was quite good at keeping his calm and showed no flaw.

In recent days, there had been an increasingly furious debate over the position of the Empress.

Madame Jingrou had submitted a report where she claimed she definitely would not succeed to the position of the Empress.

However, as the only imperial concubine favored by the Emperor, she was inevitably influenced.

These brainless imperial concubines fought fiercely for a nominal position.

Lin Mengya involuntarily wondered if they could not get over their obsession or if they were too stubborn.

Baisu was sent out of the imperial palace by Lin Mengya to continue tracing the puppet wires and investigating the mystery of her background.

Lin Mengya, who didn’t like relying on anyone, got the chance to be alone with no constraint.

There were more and more members of the Quill Guard led by Zhou Ling in the imperial palace.

Probably because of Zhou Ling’s special care for her, she saw the members of the Quill Guard wherever she went.

She did not think they had been watching over her, because whatever she was doing, they would come forward to help her at the sight of that.

They probably did so under the order of their commander.

With the close protection of the members of the Quill Guard who were highly skilled in martial arts, Lin Mengya’s safety could be guaranteed.

Of course, Xiaoyu’s men had been protecting her in secret.

Even the Emperor and Madame Jingrou were not as strictly protected as her.

Although Xin Luan accepted the chessboard she gave last time, he did not give her the chance to stay.

This time, Lin Mengya directly brought a cup of tea there.

The tea was nice, and Lin Mengya added a few kinds of herbs in it.

It not only was refreshing and capable of improving eyesight, but also had a fragrance stronger than that of ordinary tea.

After calculating the time, she made tea with warm water and put the tea in an exquisite hamper.

The time she spent going to the Xiannan Hall from the Fengyu court was enough to make the full fragrance of the tea come out and maintain the strongest fragrance.

This time, she would like to see how the former High Priest could refuse her!
