Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 855

Chapter 855 Where to Seek Her Root

Having dreams all night long, Lin Mengya had a pair of dark circles under her eyes, which was rare.

In the morning, Baisu brought hot water in, only to see Lin Mengya sitting there listlessly with her arms around her knees, seeming to have suffered a heavy blow.

Opening her mouth slightly, she wondered if anything serious happened so that Lin Mengya looked so miserable.

“Miss, Miss, are you all right?” she asked, pushing Lin Mengya.

It was only then that Lin Mengya returned to herself, stared blankly at her and said, “Baisu, you are here. What time is it now?”

Lin Mengya, who did not get enough sleep, felt her temples throbbing rapidly.

She had stayed up all night before, but this time, she felt exceptionally uncomfortable.

She had felt the same way when she spent a week doing experiments.

She felt as if all her organs other than her brain were torn apart, which caused an unbearable dull pain.

However, the Shen Nung system enabled her to be more conscious than anyone else.

This sort of feeling was even more unbearable than death.

“Miss, are you sick? Don’t mind the time. If you feel unwell, you’d better take more rest,” Baisu said worriedly.

She was aware that Lin Mengya had always been in poor health, afraid that Lin Mengya would get sick easily like before.

They were going back to the Jin State soon. If the other members of the Liuxin Courtyard learned that she didn’t take good care of Lin Mengya, she would definitely be a target of their criticism.

Nevertheless, it was not important, and the important thing was to ensure Lin Mengya’s health.

“I’m fine. Oh yes, have you arranged the carriage we are going to take during our outing?” Lin Mengya said.

Then she scooped up some hot water to wet her pretty face.

The warm touch slightly eased the pain of Lin Mengya who felt as if her temples were about to explode.

She knew that in this condition, she might feel better after a good sleep.

But she would rather prepare all she needed before going to bed than stay uneasy and be tortured by nightmares again.

“Yes, I have made proper arrangements. We are going shopping in the name of Madame, which won’t attract any attention,” Baisu said.

She had canceled the lease of the small courtyard and deliberately left some wrong clues there to mislead others as Lin Mengya told her.

No one would be able to figure out their real purpose of collecting information.

Moreover, those who were misled might even track down the wrong clues in a diametrically opposite direction.

There could never be too much deception in battles, but that would inevitably waste those who were misled a lot of time.

In this way, they would be able to do a lot of things during this period of time, such as training a qualified selected witch within 15 days.

After washing up, Lin Mengya changed into extremely ordinary clothes.

Because she looked haggard today, she covered her pale face with a white veil at Baisu’s insistence.

Although it was a little strange, she knew that Baisu insisted on it in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Xiaoyu’s purpose of leaving those people behind was not merely to protect her.

If he learned that she was returning to the Jin State, he would hurry back at high speed.

Thinking of Xiaoyu, Lin Mengya sighed again.

Now she was aware of how it felt to be popular in the imperial palace.

She had managed to convince Madame Jingrou to talk about her marriage with Xiaoyu later.

But somehow, the news spread like wildfire. At present, all members of the Fengyu Court seemed to have regarded her as the future daughter-in-law of Madame Jingrou.

Lin Mengya was willing to explain if only a few people thought so.

However, plenty of people thought so, making not only her but also Baisu impatient to explain.

But Lin Mengya was keenly aware that these rumors would fade away a few months after she left.

There was always gossip about romantic affairs in the imperial palace.

The gifts people sent to please her were returned by Baisu one by one.

Lin Mengya knew that she would definitely be described by some people as unable to appreciate their kindness or haughty.

But she just regarded herself as a pa.s.ser-by in the imperial palace which was not the place where she would settle down.

It was unnecessary to leave a favorable impression on them.

“This is our shopping list today. Please take a look, Miss,” after they got out of the imperial palace and got into the carriage, Baisu cautiously drew a booklet from her bosom and said.

The list included some necessities during their trip and, of course, some special local products.

Baisu was such a thoughtful person that she had taken all members of the Liuxin Courtyard into consideration.

She even chose some gifts for Moyan, the baby Lin Mengya adopted.

Lin Mengya took a quick look at the list, and then gave it back to Baisu.

“You’ve always been reliable, but go to the pharmacy with me before buying these things. I want to buy some medicinal materials,” Lin Mengya said.

The Lieyun Empire not only was rich in all kinds of poisons and venomous insects, but also had a tremendous amount of medicinal materials.

Otherwise, the Dongfang family would not have been able to be one of the wealthiest merchant families in the Lieyun Empire just by trading medicinal materials.

But at the thought of the Dongfang family, Lin Mengya thought of Xiu, the pitiful and lovely girl.

She subconsciously fixed her eyes on Baisu who was reading the list carefully and planning the route.

If Xiu was really Baisu’s sister…

With her hand against her forehead, Lin Mengya realized that she had a lot of things to deal with.

“Are you feeling unwell again? Do you need to see a doctor?” Baisu stared at Lin Mengya worriedly and asked, totally unaware that her origin was one of the things that bothered Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya quickly shook her head. She clearly remembered how the members of the Liuxin Courtyard insisted on feeding her a lot of food before.

It was impossible to say no to them who meant well, although she considered what they did a little inappropriate. Brainwashed and headed by Ms. Tian and Baiji, all the other members of the Liuxin Courtyard, certainly including Baisu, had learned this essential skill.

“Miss, people say that doctors can’t cure themselves. Please don’t be so stubborn, okay?” Baisu said softly, trying to coax Lin Mengya to see a doctor.

Although Lin Mengya was older than her, the members of the Liuxin Courtyard involuntarily regarded Lin Mengya, who had had poor fighting skill and become very slender after being poisoned, as the person who needed to be cared for and protected the most.

In fact, it was Lin Mengya who enabled them to live a peaceful life.

But all of them considered the safety of Lin Mengya more important than anything else and put it first.

“I’m really alright. We are going home. Do you think I will go home with a sickly look and worry them? Baisu, if… I mean if you still have relatives or parents, what will you do?” Lin Mengya finally couldn’t help asking this question.

As soon as she asked, she wanted to commit suicide by biting her tongue.

The question was a little too blunt.

However, she could never be shrewd in front of those people she cared about.

Baisu glanced at her in puzzlement, thinking that she might miss her family members.

With a smile, Baisu said in a gentle voice, “I have relatives now. All the members of our courtyard are my relatives. In fact, the reason why I’ve tried so hard to find out the truth is to find out my origin rather than to find my relatives or parents. Miss, you said that everything has its origin. If I’m ignorant of my origin, where should my soul go after I die?”

Lin Mengya yawned a little. In fact, she more or less knew Baisu’s feeling.

Back in modern times, she was just an orphan.

Since she became sensible, she had been cared for by the nanny who also took care of other homeless orphans like her.

If the miracle had not happened to her, she probably would not have been able to discover how bizarre and complicated her origin was during her lifetime.

Now that she finally found her root, how could she prevent Baisu from seeking her root?

Was her hiding what she knew from Baisu exceptionally cruel to Baisu?

But if she told Baisu about it, so what? Could she possibly let Baisu and Xiu resume their relationship and then cause greater doubts?

For the first time in her life, Lin Mengya was perplexed and uncertain in front of something unknown.

She had considered that there should not be any secrets between her and Long Tianyu, so she was so angry at his deception.

Now, she was told by her sense that she must make things clear to Long Tianyu and at least let him know the risk of being with her.

Meanwhile, she was told by her sensibility that once she made things clear to him, it was very likely that he would break up with her or she would choose to leave him so that he could marry someone else.

Back then, Long Tianyu had told her that he would not leave her even if they had no child in the future.

But how could she be so selfish to let him suffer the pain of having no child?

Her headache worsened a little, and her mind was in a turmoil, which made her totally clueless and increasingly miserable.

“Miss, we’ve arrived at the pharmacy. What medicine do you need? Let me do the shopping for you.” Baisu reminded her.

Hearing this, Lin Mengya looked out of the window.

Their carriage stopped in front of an extremely luxurious store that was probably the only five-story store in the entire outer capital city.

The large word “pharmacy” on the signboard was so conspicuous that every pa.s.ser-by would cast a glance at it subconsciously.

Baisu helped her out of the carriage patiently, and then a shop a.s.sistant came up hurriedly.

There was hardly any flattering smile on his ordinary face. Instead, they saw a hint of pride on his face.

He was presumably proud of working here.

“Misses, please come in,” he said.

The moment Lin Mengya got in, the fragrance of herbs eased a lot of her headache.

After making a cursory identification, she was shocked by the vast amount of medicinal materials here.

Plenty of medicinal materials, which were considered extremely precious outside, were just placed in the medicine cabinets in the lobby.

She wondered what kind of miraculous medicinal material could be the signature commodity of this pharmacy.

Looking around, she found there were plenty of people coming to buy medicine, but no one made a noise.

Everyone sat quietly in the chairs in the s.p.a.cious lobby, and there were special shop a.s.sistants welcoming consumers and seeing them off.

The medicinal materials were sold at the counters in the innermost part of the pharmacy.

There were three counters in total. Only after a consumer left a counter, the next one would go up to the counter.
