Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 318 Seeing the Things Reminds Him of Their Owner

After pondering for a while, Long Tianyu suddenly saw a person dressed in servant's clothing, tiptoeing and slipping into the Art Courtyard.

He might not be familiar with the faces of all the servants in the mansion, but he could still tell when it was a complete stranger and was not the normal staff.

"Have you ever seen that person before?"

Long Tianyu asked, when he saw the filthy figure disappear completely behind the gate of the Art Courtyard.

"He is a palace eunuch and comes to our mansion once a month. I followed him several times. He left the palace and came straight to our mansion. Each time, he only went to the Art Courtyard and would come out after two hours. I was afraid of alerting him, and so I never dared to touch him."

Since Night had never reported, it meant that this little eunuch did nothing unusual, apart from sneaking a visit to the Art Courtyard every month.

Turning around, he cast a suspicious look at the gate of the Art Courtyard.

"The empress and my mother have never offended each other since the past. If he is one from the palace, can he be the one dispatched by the madams who have a good relationship with my mother?"

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was not right. "If so, he only needed to tell me, but why did he behave so cautiously?"

"Ask someone to keep an eye on him, and find out who was the one who sent for him and what he is here for."

Without making a sound, Night disappeared from behind Long Tianyu.

Long Tianyu turned around and left the Art Courtyard, but he felt so gloomy that he could kick up a furious storm at any time. Suddenly, he remembered that Lin Mengya had reminded him to keep a close watch on his mother.

"If I view it from today's situation, the girl must have noticed something. It might seem as if she does not care about anything, but she does keep an eye on everyone's moves in the mansion.

"Has she found out about any of my mother's unusual moves?"

Looking at the gentle sunlight at the edge of the sky, Long Tianyu did not know why he suddenly wanted to see the smiling face, which was as splendid as the morning sun.

Without realizing it, he had arrived at Liuxin Courtyard.

He pushed open the door, but found that it was deserted inside.

The fallen leaves and flowers were still splendid, but somehow the courtyard, bereft of its occupant, had become extremely deserted. It was as if it was a lonely, aged beauty, who lamented day and night.

"Prince Yu, I pay my respects to you."

A voice which sounded somewhat upset, sounded. Long Tianyu lowered his head, but saw an old maid in a blue coarse cloth dress, kneeling to pay her respects to him. Beside her was a worn-out broom.

"What about the others in the courtyard? Why are you working alone?"

"In the former days, the courtyard was always filled with joyful words and laughter that pleased people's souls, but why has it become so quiet, since Lin Mengya went to the palace?"

"Prince, the three girls surnamed Bai said that the princess allowed them to go on vacation. Xiaobai and Xiaohu were asked to go home to visit relatives, and the other old maids were also sent away by the girl Yun Ruo. Anyway, there are no others here, and so I have to manage everything alone."

What she said seemed to confirm that Lin Mengya would not return from the palace peacefully.

Long Tianyu was faintly unhappy, for he didn't like anyone to curse Lin Mengya like this. "That girl will come back peacefully, return to me, and continue to be my princess."

"You've worked hard, but keep cleaning the courtyard. The princess will be back soon. She likes everything to be clean, and don't make her feel uncomfortable."

Elsewhere, no one ever dreamed that he could be so gracious.

But it was an exception for those in Liuxin Courtyard.

Looking at her favorite spot in the pavilion where she usually sat to tease her pet, he could not seem to stop himself from walking over there.

Her white wool mat and soft fox fur dress were there, but now, they were a little dusty. He reached out his hand, but could not feel their warmth.

A few traces of Lin Mengya's delicate medical fragrance seemed to linger in the pavilion. Compared with the room where he had seen so many beautiful ladies earlier, he felt that this place was so refreshing.

Thinking of the news Lin Kui sent him today, he believed that Lin Mengya would return to their mansion soon. And she would return to him.

The corners of his mouth curved into a pleasant arc, but he did not even realize it. No matter how cunning and untamed the girl was, he would let her stay with him this time.

"Achoo—"

As she pounded her herbs, Lin Meng felt her nose itching and sneezed loudly, which almost caught everyone's attention.

"Keep working, all of you. I was choked by the powder of the herbs. It's all right, all right."

Lin Mengya rubbed her nose and explained immediately.

The important date for feeling the emperor's pulse would be the day after tomorrow. All the qualified physicians in the Court of Imperial Physicians were busy preparing for it these days. Lin Mengya was not free, either, but she had tested Su Tong.

Although she had got the pulse case, she might not be able to see the emperor.

Long Tianyu should have almost decided to withdraw, for it was not wise to push those in the Court of Imperial Physicians too much.

Now Su Tong treated her with the kind attitude reserved for the Guanyin Bodhisattva, but each time she asked to feel the emperor's pulse, he would equivocate.

It seemed that he did have trouble dealing with this request.

She turned her suspicious look at Su Tong who was teaching his students outside. "Is it not easy to see the emperor? You mean, even the imperial physicians can't see him easily?"

After thinking about it, Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu instantly exchanged discreet looks, and then turned away.

Their originally agreed secret code was not used at all. It was hard to tell if their small amount of mutual tacit understanding had been accidental.

It was like the one between her elder brother Lin Nansheng and herself. They were able to read each other's thoughts with only one look. "Strange, this imperial physician has only met me a few times."

"Forget it, this is not the time to explore these meaningless things." While taking a rest, Lin Mengya silently took Baisu to a small corner of the yard.

They two whispered, as they pretended to fiddle with the herbs.

"I asked you to pour the medical soup on the ground. Did you do as I told you?"

Baisu nodded immediately. She did everything carefully as instructed by her master.

"When you poured the soup, did anyone come to stop you or ask you about it?"

According to her expectations, the person who planted the Duotian Root would take careful precautions. Although she was confident that those people would never find the secret in the flower fertilizer, it was still possible that the person would have their suspicions.

After getting her reminder, Baisu paid special attention to it.

But now no one had come to ask her anything. Ever since she freaked out once, those who dared to stare at her eyes for more than three seconds, were already bold enough and were not afraid of death, let alone to ask her.

"Strange! Is the person so shrewd and chose to remain silent? If so, I have been wrong to look down upon that person."

"It seems that I have to use another way to lure the person out."

"OK, I see. By the way, tonight you will still need to activate the sleeping points of Pearl and Agate. Someone will come over, and you will have to help from the outside."

Baisu nodded seriously, then seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and whispered it in Lin Mengya's ear.

Lin Mengya furrowed her eyebrows as she heard more information.

Finally, she looked sternly at Baisu, showing a little rare, confused irritation in her eyes.

Baisu told her that under Pearl's bed, there was a ragdoll with her birthdate and other related information, which had been cursed and pierced with a needle every day.

As for casting spells and raising magical venomous insects, she had read a lot about this in history books and watched a lot on TV. Her predecessors always thought that they were untrue, but now her soul had traveled in time. Therefore, she was more or less still in awe about the matter of ghosts and gods.

But how could a maid living in the palace know her birthdate and other related information? Moreover, even if Pearl hated her, she, a little palace maid, would never have done such a thing.

Besides, Baisu told her that Pearl said that she would destroy her family.

"What a clueless joke! Now I still don't know who on earth Pearl who suddenly came from nowhere, is. "So, what's the reason for wanting to destroy my family?"

"Let's pretend that we don't know about this. Maybe she has been instigated and hoodwinked by someone. Now, the most important thing is to see the emperor as soon as possible. I have been feeling a little apprehensive, as if something eventful is about to happen."

Lin Mengya looked at the sky in the distance. Her hunch was always accurate. Although she was in the imperial harem, and did not know about the happenings in the previous dynasty, now everyone apprehended danger in every sound, and felt afraid inside the palace. Fear was not a good omen.

After a busy day at the Court of Imperial Physicians, Lin Mengya put her prescription openly on the desk.

With the English and Roman double encryption, she did not believe that anyone in this time and space had the ability to decipher her prescription. Besides, this was just for show, and she had saved the real one in the Shennong System.

After calculating accurately and taking various possibilities into consideration, she only needed to make her final diagnosis, based on the emperor's condition. Although this was a little energy-consuming, she had made progress, after all.

After bidding goodbye to everyone in the Court of Imperial Physicians, the tired Lin Mengya and Baisu went back to their small courtyard.

But as soon as they entered the courtyard, Fang Lan with an anxious look, took Lin Mengya to the room of the tenth prince.

"What happened?"

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Mengya saw the wet nurse was looking anxiously at the little child on the bed.

The little child was energetic in the morning, but now he seemed quite weak, and was lying in bed at the moment. With his eyes tightly shut, he seemed to be in so much pain.

"The little prince suddenly became like this, after having supper. Just now, I wanted to ask you to come back from the Court of Imperial Physicians. I did not take proper care of him. Princess, please punish me."
