Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Lin Mengya held on to her stomach as she spoke and she appeared a little embarrassed.

Sighing in resignation, Baishao started going through the little medicine box she carried with her. Finally, she found the bottle containing the pills for indigestion.

The pills, made from haw and orange peel, tasted sweet and sour in their mouths.

Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes as she swallowed the pills as if they were sweets.

Outside the building in the courtyard, the people who had just finished eating their breakfast were streaming out the post station's hall.

Qiu Yu looked troubled. Biding his time, he waited for the rest of the businessmen to load their carts before getting into Lin Mengya's horse carriage.

"I think someone's eyeing us with interest."

The tone of Qiu Yu's voice was severe, but both Lin Mengya and Baishao rolled their eyes at him.

"We were aware since long ago. That man working for Crow even came up to us and tried to chum up with us just now."

Baishao said with a mocking tone. Imperial Physician Qiu seemed to be just paying lip service when he said he would protect them. In the end, it was her master and Yuan San who saved the day with their wits.

"What did he want? Were you taken advantage of?"

Qiu Yu inquired with urgency in his voice, but Lin Mengya maintained her composure as she answered him.

"Not that we've been taken advantage, but who is this Crow? Where does he come from and what business does he do? Are you able to find out?"

Lin Mengya was not blind. When she was exiting from the hall of the post station, he had dragged the station-master to the backyard with him, using the excuse of buying food supplies.

Moreover, she was in such a rush that she had surely attracted the attention of Master Guo and the other two men.

The burly man who was Crow's subordinate had failed at his attempt and headed back in. For this reason, they no longer had to worry about their safety for now.

Even if Yuan San was unable to stop him, Master Guo would not allow him to get what he wanted.

"On the surface, Crow is a businessman in the spice trade, but I heard from the station-master that he was actually dealing with human trafficking. There's a rumor saying that most of the slaves serving the royals of Lieyun Empire were supplied by him. He had gone to different countries to abduct them. Apart from this, he was involved in all kinds of deceit.

Qiu Yu did not attempt to conceal the disgust in his voice as he spoke.

Trafficking slaves? Lin Mengya never imagined Crow to be such an evil man.

However, why did he choose her to lay his hands on?

Before Lin Mengya could voice her doubts, Qiu Yu volunteered an answer.

"Actually, you've been implicated by Master Guo. Once they tried to abduct many youths in the name of hiring help. At that time, Master Guo could no longer stand it and upset his plans by force. Crow was a very petty man. This time, he must have thought that you're a novice and chose to make trouble for you."

Lin Mengya nodded in agreement. Given Master Guo's temperament, he was definitely someone who would stand up for justice.

It was no wonder that he used to run a professional organization providing bodyguards before he joined Sanjue Hall.

Compared to such organizations, which both the authorities and the underworld were wary of, Sanjue Hall, which was a societal influence, was an even more suitable place for Master Guo.

People having access to information would be well sought-after by both the authorities and the underworld.

After all, Crow was merely an evil businessman. He'd better weigh himself before he thought of doing anything to Sanjue Hall.

"In this case, he had not been wronged. Let's get going, Yuan San."

She was the Hall Master of Sanjue Hall. In theory, she was Master Guo's back.

Crow's coming for her meant that he had hit the bullseye.

Trafficking slaves was, however, such an inhumane thing to do.

Unfortunately, she was not heading to the same destination as Crow. Otherwise, she would be rather interested to contend with the black-hearted Crow.

"Yes, Young Master," responded Yuan San respectfully.

Lin Mengya took special note of Yuan San's witty reaction towards that burly man.

This young man was not simply a coachman working for Sanjue Hall. Yunzhu had arranged for him to come along with them for a purpose, which was likely to recommend him to Lin Mengya.

This little guy had some tricks up his sleeves.

Master Guo's group of businessmen was leading the way as they set out. The little episode that happened at the post station did not affect how it continued to operate with many passing through it.

Businessmen from all directions came and go through this small post station all the time.

Lin Mengya lifted the curtain and looked out.

This was the first time that she had gone so far from home.

She was in high spirits as if she had gone on some spring outing.

Compared to Lin Mengya and Baishao's happy mood, Qiu Yu was frowning all the time, as if there was some deep-seated hatred in him.

This made Baishao depressed, so she chased him out to be coachman with Yuan San.

Although it was already springtime and the weather was much warmer, the fields on both sides of the public road were still bare.

Once the novelty of this spring trip wore off, Lin Mengya felt the boredom set in. Thank goodness the content in the music score for green stringed instrument downloaded in the Shen Nung system was sufficient to occupy her mind.

When she closed her eyes gently, the chapter on distinguishing medicine in the music score for the green stringed instrument appeared before her eyes through the Shen Nung system's analog simulation.

The ability to distinguish different kinds of medicine was the basic knowledge for all to-be physicians.

They needed to be equipped with the knowledge of the efficacy of each kind of medicine and which of them complimented or canceled each other's effect. It was only then the physicians could administer them to patients to heal them.

The music score for the green stringed instrument was more like the dictionary of medicinal herbs in the Shen Nung system. Be it Lucid Ganoderma, ginseng, and other better grade herbs or weeds along the way, there were detailed records about them in it.

The music score for green stringed instrument even had recorded the effects of the grains and cereals in our usual diet.

The more Lin Mengya read the book, the more she was certain that the person who compiled it was an amazing genius.

As she read through it page by page, the Shen Nung system had already categorized the information for her. At this moment, Lin Mengya only needed to key in the keyword and search to find any information.

In fact, the search result was almost instant.

It might be very convenient, but Lin Mengya felt that it was not dependable somehow.

The Shen Nung system was too easy and convenient to use. Her teacher from the school of medicine once said that if the human brain were to develop to its limit, it would be able to unlock the mystery of the universe.

Even though she had unlocked the Shen Nung system to its second stage by now, she was already surprised at its functions.

She wondered if this was hers or it belonged to the Shen Nung system? If it belonged to the Shen Nung system, would she become an idiot when the system was to breakdown one day?

Then more Lin Mengya pondered over this hypothetical thought, the more she was so scared to the point of breaking out into cold sweat.

Thankfully the teacher said that the power supply of its radar was the human body itself. Moreover, it did not have the hardware. It was just a program that ran when the memory was not exceeded. In addition, since it had no connection with the outside world, she supposed there would not be any problems?

Lin Mengya comforted herself in this way. She was grateful that the Shen Nung system was her most powerful help yet.

She continued to browse through the music score for the green stringed instrument and fine-tune the system. To her pleasant surprise, the way the system categorized the medicinal herbs was in line with how she would have done.

At present, a prescription suddenly popped up in her mind.

Lin Mengya took a careful look at this and realized that the prescription was written with different handwriting from the ones in the music score for the green stringed instrument.

The neat handwriting seemed to come alive and it was a very detailed prescription. More amazingly, the herbs in the prescription seemed to be able to the poison in Qinghu and Elder Brother Tian Ning's bodies.

Compared to the prescription in the system, this prescription appeared to be gentler on the human body and had less harmful side effects.

However, it also seemed that the prescription was incomplete.

Could this be the prescription her mother had written for Elder Brother Tian Ning?

Lin Mengya became a little worked up at this point when she started to wonder where Qinghu had gone. The poison in his body was one thing she could not get out of her mind.

If there was a better solution for Qinghu to survive, she would travel the world to find this wretched fox and bring him back.

Moreover, Lin Mengya believed that he would not bear to forsake them and vanish completely.

If he dared forsake them, Snow and the baby tiger would tear this wretched fox into pieces.

It had to be that he had something to attend to now, so he had to be away temporarily.

Regardless, she did not expect to reap a mysterious benefit from reading a book.

Lin Mengya had grown to love the music score for the green stringed instrument even more. After flipping through the pages of the book, she discovered that there were many annotations written with similar handwriting as that on the prescription.

This meant that the music score for the green stringed instrument was a normal book after all.

However, how did its pages transform into overlapping prints that resulted in blots of ink on the pages?

She flipped back and front but could not find any writings explaining this.

However, there was the character 'Shen' in front of each chapter.

Could it be that the person who compiled the music score for the green stringed instrument had the surname 'Shen'?

Lin Mengya had a feeling that there was a secret behind this. It was only because her mother had passed away that the dust-covered music score for the green stringed instrument was overlooked.

She would keep this secret carefully lest it should create more waves.

The horse carriage traveled onward, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, however, it finally arrived at a resting place before the sky turned dark.

However, what was different about this place compared to their previous resting place was that this was a busy little town.

Baishao copied what Lin Mengya did by lifting the curtain and taking a peek outside the horse carriage.

Being used to the buzzing, wealthy Capital City, the busy yet simple small town felt like a place with more warmth and friendliness.

There were chicken fights and monkeys performing in the streets, stores selling blushes and fragrant powders, sweets and toy vendors. Although there was not much variety, the novelty of everything was the winning point.

Many of the townspeople replied on doing businesses to earn a living, therefore the night market was very vibrant here.

Back in the Capital City, there would only be night markets on the first and fifteenth day every month.

However, Lin Mengya had always been locked up at home since young. Even after she was married, Long Tianyu would not allow her to go out at night for fear that she would be in danger.

All of a sudden when no one was watching over her, she had become a bird who had been released from its cage.

After taking a nap with Baishao in the afternoon, Lin Mengya was refreshed.

To the exhausted Yuan San and Qiu Yu, these two ladies, who were full of life now and ready to explore the place, were giving them headaches.

Master Guo led the group of businessmen to stay in the biggest inn in town.

Compared to the post station with minimal amenities, the conditions at the inn here was many times better.
