Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 182 - Stained with Fresh Blood


Chapter 182 Stained with Fresh Blood

“Ask him.”

Qinghu directly passed the question onto Long Tianhao.

Honestly, Qinghu was rather dissatisfied with Lin Mengya’s nominal husband.

Lin Zhongyu immediately turned to Long Tianhao and gave him a look as if he were interrogating and blaming him for what happened to Lin Mengya.

“I’ve… failed to protect her.”

If Long Tianhao had tried to defend himself, he was certain that Qinghu and Ling Zhongyu would take turns condemning Long Tianhao.

He was not one to find excuses.

He was, after all, the only person Lin Mengya could rely on in the palace

Consequently, he was indeed at fault that she was injured this time around .

“We can’t do much this time. However, if you continue to be incompetent in protecting Elder Sister, I would have to bring her away with me, so I can personally watch over her.”

Lin Zhongyu may still be a young boy, but the sincerity on his face was unquestionable.

Long Tianhao narrowed his eyes as he looked at this kid.

He was yet a full-grown man.

Nevertheless, he apparently possessed the acuteness and astuteness of an adult.

Why was it that the people surrounding Lin Mengya were all so difficult to deal with?

“Rest assured this won’t ever happen again.”

Not only was Long Tianhao trying to explain himself to Lin Zhongyu, more importantly he had said this as a promise to Lin Mengya.

Given that she had helped him in so many ways, at the very least he owed her his protection.

“Hopefully you will keep to your word!”

After giving Long Tianhao a long, deep look, the coldness of Lin Zhongyu’s eyes faded away slowly..

He returned to Lin Mengya’s bedside and watched his elder sister with tenderness in his eyes.

Lin Mengya, unconscious under the effect of the medication, had fallen into a deep, sweet sleep.

After a good night’s sleep, Lin Mengya woke up, not knowing who had dressed her wound the night before, but was feeling much less pain.

The only thing bothering was the inconvenience that came about with an injured hand.

At the very least, her progress in learning about the use of poison from Baili Rui was impeded.

“Last night, the prince, Childe Yu and Qinghu had kept watch by your bedside most part of the night. Mr. Baili also came to have a look at your injury, but he said it wouldn’t be much of a concern. He even said you were very fortunate that you did not even feverish at all.”

As Baiji narrated to Lin Mengya what happened the night before, she was at the same time feeding her master some porridge with a spoon.

“Oh, it must have been hard on every one.”

Little did she expect even her teacher to come out to see her.

A sweet and warm feeling filled Lin Mengya’s heart, and it felt even sweeter than the sweet porridge in her mouth.

From the moment she opened her eyes this morning, all she had to do was to reach out her every need, including dressing up and eating, being catered for by the people around her.

It was no wonder those people of high status loved having lots of servants to serve their every need.

To be honest, it felt good to be served.

Especially, that she was surrounded by her four very attentive maidservants.

“Oh yes, was there any news from the palace?”

Concubine De was still in the palace at the moment. Lin Mengya did not believe that the Queen would be so kind as to just invite Concubine De for tea.

“Not yet. why did not Concubine De did come back with you?”

Lin Mengya’s maidservants were still unaware that the Queen was Lin Mengya’s real enemy.

For this reason, they had asked the question simply out of curiosity.

“The Queen had asked Concubine De to stay on in the palace so they could have a talk about former times, which was why Concubine De did not return with us. Send some man to keep an eye at the gates so that they can inform us once Concubine De returns.”

Baisu proceeded to carry out their master’s order, but Lin Mengya was still a little worried.

She supposed the Queen must started to be suspicious of her, otherwise why would she ask Concubine De to stay behind in the palace?

However, she believed that no one had managed to find any concrete evidence within such a short period of time.

The good thing about being in the ancient times for her was that there was no such technology as identifying culprits by their fingerprints.

She had even thought about how to cover up herself even if they were to find that container.

Those people in the palace were no match for her.

After Lin Mengya was finished with her breakfast, she went straight to Shangguan Rui’s stone room.

Madame Wang’s conditioned had improved a great deal. However, how would she feel if she were to find out that her beloved daughter had abandoned her for riches and glory?

“Naughty girl, why are you still running around when you’re not fully recovered?”

Baili Rui had always showed special concern to her only protege.

There was a look of concern on Baili Rui’s tired face. Taking Lin Mengya’s hand in her hand, she was determined to have a good look at her wound.

“Something’s wrong, lass. Why is there a pungent odor of poison in your blood?”

Frowning as she looked at Lin Mengya, Baili Rui had proved herself to be an expert in poison by being able to detect the poison simply through the smelling the blood.

“There’s an unusual poison in my body. Strangely, I was able to counter the effects from the poison using only half the required amount of antidote.

The strange thing about this remnant of poison in Lin Mengya’s body was that it had no effect whatsoever on her during normal times.

However, once its effect came, it felt as if it would take the life out of her.

“This must be something which you’ve ingested that could slow down or dampen the effect of the poison.”

Even Baili Rui was surprised by such a condition.

Nevertheless, he took out some black powder and was about to sprinkle it onto Lin Mengya’s wound.

Mr. Baili, do you intend to poison me to death?”

Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide and gazed at her teacher as she asked innocently.

Shangguan Rui responded to her student with a hard glare. Had she taken this protege to make trouble for herself?

“That’s right. I’m going to poison you to death, so I can take another disciple who is more talented than you.”

Lin Mengya stuck out her tongue and giggled, then she let Baili Rui apply the black powder onto her wound.

“Although I, being your teacher, is not an expert in the study of medicine, I can safely claim to be the most accomplished person in the study of poison. To me, your injury is not a big deal.”

Baili Rui was not trying to boast. In fact, under her care in the last few days, the wound on Madame Wang’s belly had healed considerably. What was left now was a thin pink line of scar.

“Teacher, I’ve tried using the medicinal powder which you prescribed. It is indeed very effective.”

Lin Mengya finally decided to inform her teacher after hesitating for a while.

Baili Rui’s body stiffened. Without turning around, she asked, “Did you kill someone?”

Lin Mengya could sense the subtle nervousness in her teacher’s voice.

Lin Mengya paused for a while and replied, “Mr. Baili, my hands had been stained with people’s blood all along.”

Ever since the transcended time and came into this ancient world, her hands were no longer free from bloodshed.

Baili Rui, still back-facing Lin Mengya, said with a calm voice, “Silly girl, the world will renounce you if you shed much blood using poison.”

“Back in those days, I travelled across the world taking countless lives using poison, but in the end, what I get in exchange is this miserable state. I as your teacher, do not wish the same fate on you.”

Clearly, Baili Rui was sincerely remorseful over what she did in the past.

However, there was no turning back for Lin Mengya.

“Mr.Baili, I’m taking a different path than you. My objective is to protect those people who are important to me, so along away, I had to eliminate all obstacles. The struggles and wars in the palace all come with bloodshed.”

She would never regret becoming a fiend with bloodstained hands for the sake of the Lin family and Long Tianhao.

All she could do was to accept this destiny which did not really belong to her at first.

“Ai, it looks like there is no way we, the teacher-protege pair, could escape this destiny. Forget what I say then. Go tell Long Tianhao that I’ve agreed to his request on the condition that Baili Wuchen gets out of this war.”

Baili Rui’s words surprised Lin Mengya.

In the past, her teacher had always refused to give in to Baili Wuchen’s tireless attempts to persuade her.

After all, as long as things got entangled in a struggle in the palace, it would turn into something bad.

“Baili Wuchen to withdraw? This is impossible, Mr. Balili.”

Lin Mengya knew Baili Wuchen too well. In fact, she and Baili Wuchen had a rather close relationship.

Nevertheless, if Baili Wuchen was even capable of plotting against his own uncle, was there even anything that he would refrain himself from doing?

“The Family of Baili will not be destroyed in my hands!”

Baili Rui was adamant . Between Baili Wuchen and her, she would only allow one of them to be caught in the whirlpool of the struggle for power.

No matter what happened, he wanted to preserve a bloodline for the Baili Family.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Baili but I can’t help with persuading him,” Lin Mengya said after a long pause.

Baili Wuchen had actually been finding her an eye sore since some time back.

If she were to be the one speaking to him, he would think that she had jumped on Baili Rui to approach him.

She definitely did not want to be entangled in this mess.

“You’re so sly. Forget it, I’ll talk to him instead. Oh yes, try not to visit again in the next few days. I will take care of Madame Wang, while you stay in your courtyard to recuperate.

Left with no other choice, Lin Mengya was chased out of Baili Rui’s stone room.

Coincidentally Baili Wuchen was not around today, otherwise an argument between the two of them would be inevitable.

Lin Mengya had no idea what Prince Yu’s request to her teacher was, but she had a feeling that Baili Rui was reluctant to do it.

She was aware that her teacher had agreed to the request simply because Baili Wuchen had pleaded with her, and rather, Lin Mengya had a part to play in it.

As she reflected on how she had time and again made her teacher angry, she was surprised that her teacher still treated her kindly.

She returned to the Liuxin Courtyard from the stone dungeon. The moment she opened the gates, the two snow white little beasts came dashing towards her.

She had to keep a distance from them since her hand was injured.

It would be disastrous if they were to accidentally lick on her wound because there was no rabies vaccination.

Fortunately, these two guys had been eating a pet diet designed by Lin Mengya and had not touched any raw meat yet.

Therefore, they were not especially attracted to the smell and taste of blood.

They merely enjoyed squirming in Lin Mengya’s arms occasionally.

She would pretend not to get the hint.

As time went by, these two intelligent little beasts had learned to pick up the signals that she did not wish to carry them at time. On these occasions, they would simply rub themselves against her legs.

“Elder Sister Lin, I heard that you’re injured. Are you alright?”

To Lin Mengya’s surprise, she realized Yue Qi was following closely behind the two beasts.

The little lass had, to Lin Mengya’s surprise, asked to go back to the Yue’s mansion after going through the series of blows.

Lin Mengya failed to persuade her to stay on. All she managed to do was to hint to her that there was something amiss about Madame Yue.

Lin Mengya had no idea if Yue Ting understood her.

“I’ve come with good news.”
