Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

“Please give a second, Your Highness. I’ll write a list of herbs and medicine which we need.”

In an emergency situation like this, Lin Mengya did not have time to calculate how much of each ingredient she needed.

She only had time to list down the names of the herbs and medicine, so Long Tianhao could hurry on to obtain them first.

The surround physicians looked at her in amazement as they saw her writing down the prescription.

Those ingredients were all powerful toxins that could kill a person!

“Please forgive me for being ignorant, Princess Yu. In your prescription, there were at least sixth types of powerful poisons. If Master Qin were to even ingest one dose of it, he would surely die.”

The main physician who was at a loss of what to do a moment ago was now looking to be contemplating deeply.

Lin Mengya shot them a glace and said coldly, “If you have a better solution, I’m ready for a discussion.”

.

Lin Mengya’s response shut up the physician’s mouth and the mouth of all others.

It seemed that Lin Mengya was the only one who could save Qin Mo’s life at this moment.

They were merely there to assist her from the sideline.

Qin Yu, however, had been gazing intently at this lady all this time.

He had been carefully observing her bizarre acupuncture method and the dubious prescription she wrote down.

All in all, this Princess Yu truly stood out from the others. She was an entirely different league of physician.

If he had guessed correctly, her method of treatment was to use poison to fight against poison.

Although she had advanced maturely, apparently this was the most appropriate method to treat Qin Mo now.

“General, there are a few girls at the entrance, asking to see Princess Yu!”

The soldier in charge of sounding the whistle came in and reported to Lin Nansheng, who glanced at his younger sister, and realized that she seemed unaware of what was happening.

“Elder Brother, would you please let them in quickly. They are my maidservants. I’ve completely forgotten about them.”

Lin Nansheng nodded and instructed the soldier to let the maidservants in.

Just as Lin Mengya was busying herself, her maidservants hurried over to her.

“Master, please do not go so fast next time. We almost died from chasing after you!”

Baizhi threw herself into Lin Mengya’s arms. Her cheeks were flushed obviously from waiting too long in the cold.

“Baizhi, let go of Master. Your body is so cold, what if you make Master catch a cold from you?” the voice of Baiji sounded.

She had brought with her a big warm cloak as she entered, and she came up to Lin Mengya and put the cloak on her.

“That’s very attentive of you, to be thinking about me at all times.”

Everytime, Baiji would be the one who was thinking about her, being the most attentive one among the rest.

If not for Baiji, Lin Mengya thought she would not be able to stay composed all the time.

“Please do not say that, Master. I’m your maidservant and it was only right that think of all these things.”

Baiji was levelheaded and sensible while Baizhi was witty and lively.

All the people’s attention was on them the moment they appeared.

What a Princess Yu, whose maidservants were such pretty girls too.

“Greetings of peace to Master Lin!”

Baizhi bowed courteously to Lin Nansheng when she spotted him with the corner of her eye who was standing behind Lin Mengya.

Lin Nansheng had a good look at her and recognized that she was indeed the maidservant who was serving his little sister since she was young.

However, she had turned into a beautiful young lady.

“Are you not…”

“Master Lin, our Master had given me the name Baizhi. This is Baiji, and Baishao is the one at the back. Lastly, the cold beauty is Baisu. The four of us are the princess’ maids who serve her.”

Baizhi introduced herself and her company to Lin Nansheng as they came closer to Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya looked around and realized that two of her company was missing.

She held on to Baizhi and asked, “Where are Qinghu and Xiaoyu? Why are they not here?”

“Don’t be anxious, Master. They bumped into the prince and accompanied him into the capital city to get the medicine.”

At Baiji’s words, Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness that Qinghu and Xiaoyu were safe and sound, otherwise, she would be anxious over them.

It was an agonizing wait.

With the help of the four maidservants, Lin Mengya felt that things had gotten easier.

She leaned into her elder brother as they sat, surrounding the fireplace. It felt like they were back in the old days when they were still kids.

“Do you remember, Elder Brother, that we used to do this when we were younger?”

Now that the younger sister was married and was therefore another man’s wife.

Nevertheless, those memories seemed like they just happened yesterday. They were etched clearly on his mind.

“Of course I remember. Back then, father was not at home. That woman took away the coal used to warm us in the winter. Eventually, Baizhi was the one who sneaked some silvery ashes which preserved our lives from the cold of winter.”

Baizhi smiled shyly. The only thing on mind at that time was to protect her young masters.

Although she was eventually badly beaten up when she was found out, she thought it was all worthy of the effort.

At the very least, her young masters were not frozen to death.

“Indeed, if not for Baizhi’s care and your protection, I won’t be able to survive until now.”

From that winter onwards, Elder Brother no longer suffered under the hands of Shangguan Qing.

Thanks to her elder brother’s lucky start that Lin Mengya was not treated badly afterwards too. However, after her elder brother grew up and followed Father to the fight in the army, she returned to the miserable days under the hands of her stepmother.

She was thankful that Elder Sister Yue Ting was there to keep watch over her.

The moment Lin Mengya thought of Elder Sister Yue Ting, her heart felt as if it was being pierced through with sorrow.

The beautiful, elegant, kindhearted and gentle girl had become a spirit and vanished from the world.

“Elder Brother, there’s something I need to tell you, but you have to promise me that you won’t get impulsive after hearing it.”

She knew her elder brother well enough to anticipate his reaction. If she were to tell him the entire incident regarding Yue Ting, he would fly into a violent rage.

Being angry was still not something too serious. What she feared was that her elder brother would act rashly without thinking properly.

That gang of people working for the Queen was always waiting for opportunities to find faults with the Lin Family.

“Tell me, what else happened?”

He looked at his younger sister affectionately. Lin Nansheng simply thought that the hesitation on Lin Mengya’s face was because of her shyness.

At that juncture, he merely looked at his younger sister with a teasing smile.

He did not expect to see the shy side of this little lass.

“It’s, it’s about the Yue Family.”

She finally mouthed the words with caution as she looked intently at her elder brother.

At the mention of the Yue Family, tenderness flashed across Lin Nansheng’s eyes.

Lin Mengya spied that little change expression in her elder brother’s eyes and found it very difficult to continue.

“You’re right, Yue Ting had waited for me for such a long time. It’s time that is accountable to her. Father says we will conduct the wedding ceremony this time we return home. Are you, the future sister-in-law, getting anxious on her behalf? I knew you two share a very close relationship, which is ever closer than our relationship!”

He lightly tapped his younger sister’s nose as his heart warmed at the thought of Yue Ting.

Yue Ting had taken care of his younger sister in his absence over the years as a mediator, therefore his heart had melted towards Yue Ting.

He had taken all of Yue Ting’s kindness to heart.

Who would be able to reject such a gentle and compassionate Yue Ting?

He had it all planned. Once he married Yue Ting, he would hand over the authority to run the household over to Yue Ting, so his little sister would not be bullied again.

“Oh… what Father said is right.”

What to do? Lin Mengya could not pluck out the courage to tell her elder brother the truth.

Moreover, this was not the best time to break the news to him.

It appeared that her elder brother knew nothing about what happened. Lin Mengya decided to keep it from him for the time being.

“Wait here for me. I’m going to check out the situation outside. It snowed today and the soldiers must be suffering from the cold. I need to make some arrangements for them.”

It was a tradition in the Lin Family to esteem their soldiers. Having followed after Father’s footsteps, Lin Nansheng loved his soldiers in the same way.

He lived and ate with his soldiers day and night, and therefore was empathetic towards.

Seeing that Lin Nansheng had disappeared out of the tent entrance, Lin Mengya shifted her line of vision onto the two imperial physicians and Lord Qin.

“I suppose you heard my conversation with my elder brother just now?”

Lin Mengya’s expression turned sober. She was no longer sounding like a little girl speaking to her elder brother.

“We, we didn’t hear anything.”

Nonsense, how could they not have heard the conversation given that they were all in the same tent, unless they were deaf?

Lin Mengya snorted and said, “I don’t wish to hear anyone talk about the matter concerning the Yue Family. Although I’m just a princess, I can make things difficult for you easily. I hope you can understand my concern for my brother’s well-being. Please forgive me if I’ve offended you.”

.

These three people indeed had some idea regarding what happened to the Yues.

Lin Mengya could tell from the astonished look in the eyes of the three people when she mentioned Yue Ting, that they ought to have some knowledge of the matter.

The smart ones who heard her threat would know to shut their mouths.

“I, Lord Qin, is never the kind who would gossip. Moreover, Princess Yu is the one treating my son. You have my word that I will keep quiet about this matter.”

Qin Xu was definitely an intelligent person. He was aware of the complicated relationships and implications in this matter, which was why he was readily agreeable to Lin Mengya’s instruction.

“Rest assured, Princess Yu. We, the people in the courtyard of imperial physicians are more cautious with our words.”

It was not surprising that these imperial physicians who had been living in the palace over a prolonged period of time were very seasoned players.

How would they not know that troubles come from the words that people speak?

Lin Mengya nodded as she saw that the three men were submissive to her.

No one should accuse her of being unreasonable or overbearing. She was willing to sacrifice anything to protect her brother!

The snow had stopped. In this darkest of night, the snow-covered world was most brightly lit.

Lin Mengya stood by the tent entrance and looked all around.

Someone had attempted to assassinate her elder brother, and had even used a deadly poison in the attack.

It looked like the assassin had wanted her elder brother dead.

As she thought of all the people in the imperial courts, she could count her elder brother’s enemies, or even the enemies of the Lin Family, with the finger on one hand.

The Lin Family had always stood on neutral ground. Even the change of the ruler of the nation had little effects on the Lin Family.

The Lin Family differed from the others in that it served the entire nation of Dajin instead of serving a ruler.

This was the reason the Shangguan Family had tried to get close to the Lins, so much so that they were willing to let Shangguan Qing become a concubine.

Could there be the possibility of the assassin being a foreigner?

This was possible. After all, her elder brother and father had been guarding against Dajin’s enemies at the borders. It was inevitable that they would have to face the attack of many foreign forces.

However, this was on the outskirts of the capital city. Would any foreigner have the audacity to carry out an assassination here？

All of a sudden, Lin Mengya felt as if a heavy burden had been laid on her shoulders again.

“Master, what are you thinking about?”

Baishao had brought a bowl of ginger soup to Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya continued frowning as she took in the warm fragrance from the ginger soup.
