Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

It was already the evening of the next day, when Lin Mengya finally woke up.

Everyone was eyeing her nervously, as she laid on the bed.

They did not feel relieved, until she opened her eyes.

"Master, you scared us to death."

Baizhi was still wiping away her tears. Lin Mengya had fainted numerous times, which made Baizhi, somewhat highly strung.

Looking at all of them, who were in tears, Lin Mengya struggled to crack a smile at them.

"Don’t worry, I will take care of myself and make a total recovery."

She wanted to protect as many people as possible.

"How did sister Yue Ting’s funeral go?"

A flicker of sadness appeared in her eyes. Apart from that, there was no other expression, at all on her face.

It was if overnight, she was able to talk about Yue Ting’s death, as if it was like any other commonplace topic.

"Everything went according to your instructions. The senior members of the Lin family have asked their grandsons to escort Yue Ting’s coffin back to the Lin family’s place."

Lin Zhongyu responded. His people had been secretly keeping watch.

Fortunately, those people did not create too much of a scene.

Therefore, no incidents occurred.

"Alright. Oh, where is the Prince?"

This was the first time she had asked about Long Tianyu, since Lin Mengya had woken up. Her four maids shook their heads; none of them knew where he was.

"Alright, I see. Help me out to the yard."

Lin Mengya asked to get up and walk about, the moment she woke up. No one could stop her.

There was nothing Qinghu could do, except to help Lin Mengya up.

"Little girl, I would feel happier if you were ill all the time."

Lin Mengya heard Qinghu’s voice sounding over her head, and she rolled her eyes at him in response.

"If I really had been so seriously ill, then evil people will laugh, but the kind ones will cry."

Qinghu shook his head and supported Lin Mengya in his arms, as they moved to the pavilion in the yard.

"If you are still sick, then I will always be here to support you."

Lin Mengya did not reply to Qinghu’s nonsense. Her maids had already prepared a woolen cushion for her, in the pavilion.

It was getting colder on this late autumn night.

No matter how warm the cushion was, Lin Mengya’s heart felt as cold as ice.

"There will be a full moon soon."

Dajin’s traditional festival—the Mid-Autumn Festival would be celebrated in about a fortnight.

Brother would probably return from the northern frontier, to give an update on his work. How upset would he be, once he learnt about the death of sister Yue Ting?

"Xiaoyu, can you do me a favor?"

Lin Zhongyu stood up excitedly, in front of Lin Mengya. His red face showed how eager he was, to be able to help his sister do something, and he looked forward to telling his sister that.

"Help me cover up about the incident about sister Yue Ting’s death, with a scandal about Crown Prince’s incompetence. Do not let my brother discover the truth. Tell him that sister Yue Ting accidentally fell off a cliff, if he should ask."

There were too many enmities in this place. It was better to shoulder it by herself.

She wanted sister Yue Ting to appear perfect, in her brother’s heart.

Sister Yue Ting was such a good lady, that it was worthwhile to remember her for a lifetime.

"Okay, I will try my best."

Xiaoyu nodded seriously, and went over to his people, instantly.

"Do you feel it is a little inconvenient to use others’ power, but not your own?"

Qinghu, with his usual flirty smile, bent to look at his little girl, with a shrewd, foxy look in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Mengya stared at Qinghu and he merely blinked, in response.

"I’ve said that Furong Restaurant is yours now. It is not just a restaurant."

"This guy could see through everything so easily."

However, it was still not her style to use others’ powers.

"Furong Restaurant and Peach Blossom Dock. You have so much power. But I have my own plans."

Lin Mengya realized that after sister Yue Ting’s death, it would be difficult to succeed without her own power.

Therefore, she would make use of what she was best at, developing her own power, completely.

After a few days, no one talked about Yue Ting anymore.

Instead, they turned to the ridiculous rumor about the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince had obviously become the target of a joke, all around the world.

It was impossible to keep this from the Empress, of course.

While Lin Mengya was recuperating, the Crown Prince had been called up to the palace, and had been scolded by the Empress.

Only the Crown Prince and the Empress were inside the luxurious hall.

The Empress was sitting on the main seat, and was wearing the Empress-style costume, with a phoenix coronet on her head.

There was an annoyed expression on her face, and she was staring at the Crown Prince, in disappointment.

She gazed at him coldly, as if he was not her actual son.

"Look, there are songs going around the street. You are the Crown Prince. You should have been a role model for everyone. But now, you are a complete joke!"

The Empress threw the song sheets her spy had copied, at the Crown Prince’s face.

The Crown Prince, clad in bright yellow finery, lowered his head, and shivered as varying expressions showed on his face.

He really had no idea where all these songs had come from.

"What have I taught you? Fool! How could you stupidly run away. Don’t you know this will make people lose their trust in you!"

The Empress had assisted the Emperor for many years. She had developed a sound political vision, that the Crown Prince, brought up in a cozy zone, would never catch up with.

Besides, Long Tianyu and Long Qinghan had obtained increasing support from the people.

If it continued like this, the position of the Crown Prince she had worked so hard for, might have to be given to someone else instead.

"Mother, I’m the Crown Prince, the future emperor. They are only my officials. Shouldn’t it be their obligation to protect me?"

Till now, the Crown Prince had no idea what mistake he had committed.

The Empress gazed at him in extreme disappointment.

"How on earth could he not have inherited any of the advantages from herself and the Emperor?"

"Idiot! If you had insisted on fighting against the enemies, these officials would have stopped you. Then, you would have at least have earned a good reputation. But now, you’ve become the run-away Crown Prince. How could you ever save your face?"

The Empress was completely irritated by the Crown Prince. Her stupid son really thought that these killers were even able to get close to him!

"Now—Sorry, I know I am wrong. Please punish me, mother."

The Crown Prince still did not know what mistake he had made, but he knew that it was wise to apologize, when the Empress was angry with him.

The Empress sighed deeply. She was still seething with anger, as she watched the Crown Prince, kneeling in front of her.

"If you cooperate with King Ming, it’s okay. But why did you have to provoke the Yue family and the Lin family? If the Lin family decides to betray us, then Dajin will lose half of its power!"

The Empress earnestly tried to impart this to the Crown Prince. She had to teach the Crown Prince, because he was still her son, after all.

"Mother, it is just a woman. I don’t think the Lin family will betray us for her."

A look of dissatisfaction formed again on the Empress’s face, because of the Crown Prince’s answer.

"Why were other peoples’ sons so wise?"

Her son was as stupid as a pig.

"Alright, leave now. Remember, you must never do anything so stupid again. You will be placed under house arrest, if that happens again!"

A flicker of hatred flashed in the Crown Prince’s eyes.

However, he left the Empress’s bedroom palace, after he gave his salutation.

"Come out. There is only you and me now."

The Empress’s taut face started to relax, and she called out in a high voice.

"Hee hee. I know that nothing can be kept from mother."

A lively female voice came, and then a lovely girl walked out from the folding screen, behind the Empress.

The girl was extremely beautiful, every bit of her facial expression looked very charming. She was only fourteen or fifteen years old, though.

She wore a bright purple palace costume, with a headgear decorated with jadeite feathers on her head, which shook whenever she moved.

Her attractive grin could win others over, in a minute.

"Mengru, why couldn’t your brother behave as well as you?"

The Empress didn’t treat her daughter as strictly, as she treated her son.

Long Mengru had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, but there was a streak of cruelty in them.

"Don’t worry, mother. What Brother said is right. It is just a woman. Her death doesn’t matter. Mother, in this way you can arrange for a woman who can bring us more benefits, to marry Lin Nansheng, right?"

Long Mengru explained this clearly and logically with her voice as melodious as the sound of beans, jumping out.

The Empress’s eyebrows were less furrowed now. But she still felt a trace of regret as she looked at her lovely daughter.

"Why was her daughter so clever, but not her son?"

"Mengru, how nice it would have been if you were a boy."

The Empress’s anger gradually faded, as she held her daughter’s slim body.

Mengru was right. Besides, it seemed that there was someone behind all this, adding fuel to the rumor about the Crown Prince.

Then, the Lin family would never know the real cause of Yue Ting’s death.

"As the rumor becomes rifer, it will be very unfavorable for your brother."

Long Mengru thought carefully for a while, and she said,

"Why don’t we create a bigger scandal. Then, people will forget about brother’s problem soon."

After thinking about it for a while, the Empress had no better idea, so she nodded in her approval. Now, this seemed to be the best method.

Schemes and plots were flying around in the Palace, but it was very quiet at Liuxin Courtyard, in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Lin Mengya had been staying inside her room, under the guise of nursing her health, until Yue Ting’ s funeral was over.

Concubine De had sent someone over, several times, to bring her medicinal supplements.

Without Concubine De’s consent, Su Meiyun could not have taken Yue Ting, away.

Therefore, Lin Mengya had become estranged from Concubine De.

But on the surface, no one could see this.

In late autumn, everyone wore cotton-padded jackets.

Baizhi looked very lovely with her round body, dressed in a light, pink lined jacket.
