Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

After returning from the resting palace of the Emperor, Lin Mengya was in a great mood.

Things went as she expected, even better than she expected.

"Miss, why do you look so pleased? I heard that the officials in the imperial court almost fought over this matter. Even Madame Jingrou takes this seriously. Why do you look as if everything is fine?" Baisu looked at Lin Mengya with a smile and asked.

She was really confused why Lin Mengya looked so pleased in the current situation.

"How could I not be pleased? The harder they try to fight over the position of the Empress, the closer they are to their doom. At the thought that there will be such a group of people casting covetous eyes on the throne after Xiaoyu ascends the throne, I feel dejected. But now, it's great that they bring about their own destruction and can only blame themselves for this," Lin Mengya said.

To put it bluntly, the position of the Empress means a strong guarantee to contend for the throne in the future.

The Lieyun Empire was a country that attached great importance to women's power and status. Both the widely respected Witch Empress and the chosen witch Madame Jingrou had been in her youth were typical examples of this.

As such, the Emperor had to consider the Empress's opinion when it came to choosing his successor.

That was also the reason why those people had a vigorous and furious debate over the position of the Empress.

Unfortunately, only Madame Jingrou was competent at this position, while the imperial concubines were just the foils for her.

"I also find it strange. Aren't these lords usually shrewd? Why are they so irrational on this matter? Although the position of the Empress is not occupied after Yao Lu's death, they shouldn't have tried so desperately to fight over it, should they?" Baisu blinked her eyes and said helplessly.

After following Lin Mengya for a long time, Baisu had much better vision and judgement.

Lin Mengya glanced at Baisu with appreciation in her eyes, thinking Baisu was right to the point.

"That's true. They shouldn't have tried so desperately. Something must have happened," Lin Mengya said composedly and unhurriedly, as if talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Baisu was about to warn Lin Mengya, but she suddenly realized that Lin Mengya seemed to have figured out the answer.

She said, "Miss, no wonder you are not anxious at all. It turns out that you have long figured out what happened. You made me worry in vain."

"Me?" Lin Mengya pointed at herself and said with an innocent smile, "How could I figure it out? I didn't even get out of the imperial palace."

Now even Baisu was at a loss.

Was Lin Mengya going to give herself up?

"Don't worry. Although I have no idea what happened, I can roughly guess it," Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and said.

With the Shen Nung System, an amazing add-on incapable of processing information at an abnormally fast speed, how could she fail to discern any clue?

A cornered beast would do something desperate, which had never been a rare thing since ancient times.

For this reason, she and Madame Jingrou must play for safety.

Once Madame Jingrou became the Empress, she and Xiaoyu must go to the Pool of Various Venomous Insects.

Of course, before that, she must convince Xin Luan, the former High Priest of the Xin Family to help them.

"Let's go to visit the former High Priest of the Xin Family," Lin Mengya said.

After thinking for a while, she told Baisu to bring some gifts for Xin Luan.

Although she made this visit in the name of Madame Jingrou, it would be embarrassing if she went there empty-handed.

Outside the Xiannan Hall stood Lin Mengya and Baisu, waiting for the eunuch who went inside to report their visit. One of them was holding a chess board made of ebony and a set of chess pieces made of jade, while the other one was holding a pile of unique chess manual copies that could only be found in the imperial palace.

Xin Luan still only had a eunuch and a manservant to serve him. Although his status was a little different from before, he still seemed to be very cautious.

After a long while, the eunuch finally let the two of them in under Xin Luan's order.

"My master said that you could leave after putting the things down. He's occupied, so he's not going to ask you to stay." Xin Luan's manservant, the only one in the hall, politely asked Lin Mengya and Baisu to leave, which made it impossible for them to stay.

"Well, please give these presents to His Excellency, and we are not going to stay. Baisu, let's go," Lin Mengya said.

She was neither angry nor surprised at his tactful refusal.

Lin Mengya and Baisu placed the presents on the table, exchanged glances, and then left the Xiannan Hall.

"Sure enough, he's a legendary man of superior attainments. It seems that we brought him these presents in vain," Lin Mengya said.

Xin Luan had the nerve to step forward bravely in front of Yao Zun.

However, it didn't mean that he would take Madame Jingrou's side.

Although he was the former High Priest, he represented the Xin Family after all, so he had plenty of concerns.

"Why don't we ask Madame to come? In that case, His Excellency won't be able to find any excuse to refuse to meet her, will he?" Baisu said.

Lin Mengya gazed at Baisu and let out a deep sigh.

Then Lin Mengya said, "Do you think that His Excellency will take Madame's advice if she comes? If it had really been so simple, Madame would not have entrusted this task to me. Forget it, let's go back first."

The more deep-minded a person was, the more complicated his thoughts would be.

Although she was fully confident that she could persuade Xin Luan, it did not mean that it would be simple.

Conversely, the brighter the future was, the more winding the path to it would be!

Lin Mengya returned to the Fengyu Court leisurely with Baisu. At this time, the Fengyu Court was no longer as quiet as before.

A multitude of people came to deliver gifts in various names every day.

Given that Madame Jingrou was in the resting palace of the Emperor and ordinary people were not allowed to disturb her, they all delivered the gifts to the Fengyu Court.

Anyway, Miss Helan's sight of the gifts was equivalent to Madame Jingrou's awareness of them. The most important thing was to show their sincerity, and how to show it was not that important.

Along the way, Lin Mengya saw various smiling faces and could only maintain her smile.

After returning to the Fengyu Court, Lin Mengya felt her face sore.

It was rare for her to find that smiling could also be a strenuous job.

"Why are there so many gifts again? Have you registered who sent them?" Lin Mengya asked with a frown as she checked the gifts on the table.

She was aware that pleasing the new sweetheart of the Emperor was a common thing.

Nevertheless, Madame Jingrou had never been out of favor and had married into the imperial palace for many years. Those people did not have to please her specially.

It was reasonable for them to send gifts over a few days ago, but why was the table in her room still piled up with gifts today?

Oh yes, why were the gifts in her room?

"Miss, you got it wrong. These gifts aren't given to Madame by others, but given to you by the Ninth Prince," a palace maid aware of the truth immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.

In addition to respect, there was also an envious look in her eyes.

They were given to her by Xiaoyu? Lin Mengya opened a box casually. Sure enough, there was a pair of pearl hairpins suitable for young ladies rather than for Madame Jingrou.

However, didn't she tell Xiaoyu not to send her gifts so blatantly and to keep a low profile?

What was going on with him?

"Apart from sending the gifts, did the Ninth Prince have any instructions?" Lin Mengya asked in puzzlement.

The palace maid smiled ambiguously and looked at Lin Mengya with more admiration.

She said, "His Highness didn't, but just said that he would be occupied and couldn't come back in the next few days, so he sent these gifts to relieve your boredom. He also said that he would come back as soon as he gets things done, and he told you not to be overly worried about him."

Her words made sense, but why did Lin Mengya find it strange to hear her say that?

Lin Mengya waved her hand as a hint for the others to get out of the room with the gifts.

Sitting in front of the desk, Lin Mengya thought for a while and guessed that she might be overanxious.

Xiaoyu had liked to give her gifts for a long time, but he sent too many gifts this time. After he came back, she would ask him about it carefully.

"Do you know what Xiaoyu has been occupied with?" Lin Mengya turned to look at Baisu and asked.

Baisu could only shake her head at a loss. Except for the time when she met him that night, she had followed Lin Mengya all the time, so she was really unaware of that.

"That's weird. He always informs me of whatever he does. Do you think that he's in danger? By the way, are you still in contact with Wanyan Lie's men?" Lin Mengya seemed to have thought of something and asked anxiously.

Baisu nodded immediately. Although Xiaoyu sent her here to accompany Lin Mengya, she was still in contact with Wanyan Lie's men.

Lin Mengya immediately pulled an emerald hairpin out of her hair and hardened her heart to prick her index finger on it vigorously.

Immediately, a drop of light purple blood came out of her finger.

"Give me a small jade bottle that had better contain half a bottle of water," she said with a frown caused by the sharp pain.

She was reluctant to hurt herself, but she had to do so for Xiaoyu.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya was a doctor fond of making drugs, so there were small jade bottles for containing drugs in her room.

Baisu immediately fetched one of them as she was told. Lin Mengya took it and cautiously put her blood that had turned dark red into the small jade bottle.

Then she quickly stuffed the bottle with a cork, fetched a handkerchief at random, wrapped up the bottle carefully with it and put the bottle on the table.

She said, "Baisu, send someone to deliver this bottle to Xiaoyu immediately and tell him nothing other than that this is a kind of precious medicine I got from the cave and give him for saving his life. He will understand what I mean."

Her blood could be considered as her greatest trump card.

After her blood changed, she didn't even need to bring any poison for self-defense, as she could definitely create a lethal weapon of mass destruction by hurting herself when in peril.

Of course that was an exaggeration, but she became a hot potato because of this.

This drop of blood looked neither conspicuous nor precious, but it could help Xiaoyu if he was in danger.

She had no idea if she was overly sensitive recently so that she always felt Xiaoyu could be in danger when he was not around.

She probably inherited the protectiveness of her family members from the Lin Family.

After telling Baisu to go and come back soon, Lin Mengya watched the sun gradually going down, sighing softly, wondering how her father and brother were doing.
