Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

“Why did he believe me so firmly?”

Lin Mengya gaped at Long Tianhao, as if she didn’t believe what he had said just now.

“Mother may have given it her own consideration. But now, I’m an adult. She can’t make the decision for me about some things anymore.”

A sadness that was never exposed previously silently rose in Long Tianhao’s eyes.

One day seemed like a year in the palace. He and his mother, Concubine De, had supported each other in order to make today’s achievements.

But for no reason, his mother turned into having no sense of right or wrong.

That made him feel wistful.

“Your Highness, have you ever thought about why Concubine De suddenly changed her disposition?”

Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, then she spoke with something profound in her words.

“Perhaps… she changed because of the death of Aunt Jinyue, maybe?”

There was a slight hesitation in his answer. He, himself, might know that this reason was not difficult to refute.

“Concubine De and Your Highness feel sorry for the death of Aunt Jinyue, so do I. But Concubine De acts different than her normal behavior, a significant personality shift. Your Highness, I believe you have noticed that as well. But you just refuse to admit it.”

Having said this, if Long Tianhao failed to grasp the implications she told him, Lin Mengya had no other methods to help him.

“Mother, did she—”

Long Tianhao suddenly had his ideas straightened out, and he gaped at Lin Mengya with wide-opened eyes.

“From the day the empress suddenly asked to have Concubine De stay with her, I’ve realized that it would not be as simple as we expected.”

Lin Mengya had no evidence. What she said was just her guess.

Long Tianhao clenched his fists and averted his complicated eyes to the direction of the Art Courtyard.

“It’s true that the only one in the world capable of making mother change her disposition is that woman in the Imperial Palace.”

“Your Highness, you’d better figure out for yourself what the truth actually is. I’m okay to go back alone. I’ll see myself out.”

After all, it was still Long Tianhao’s domestic affair.

Lin Mengya was unwilling to get involved too much. Long Tianhao was a man of dignity, while she was also a woman of principle.

Standing before the door of Art Courtyard, and looking in the direction of that figure disappearing, Long Tianhao’s face showed the overwhelming expression like he was the master of everything.

“Night, gather every member of the Qing Sect. I need you to investigate something.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

His low voice floated in the air as usual.

He averted his eyes to the direction of the Imperial Palace.

“Take drastic measures to deal with a situation. Well done! The empress, she is truly vicious!”

When Lin Mengya came back from Art Courtyard and arrived at Liuxin Courtyard, she found that the four maids were still awake. They were playing the “Fight the Landlord” with Lin Zhongyu and Qinghu respectively.

Looking at them enjoying themselves, Lin Mengya felt much more at ease.

She went and sat in the pavilion, gazing at the bright moon hanging up in the sky.

Although she lived an extravagant life in Prince Yu’s Mansion, she still felt exhausted physically and mentally.

However, in order to protect those people she cared about, Lin Mengya would like to face even immense dangers and difficulties alone.

“It’s crisp like the cool water. Why is this beauty staying alone?”

Yunzhu’s voice unexpectedly arose from behind.

Lin Mengya turned her head, only to see a pretty face.

Her skin seemed a little loose, and there was an extremely obvious scar at the bottom of the left side of her face. If one ignored them, Yunzhu was really a beauty in her old age.

“Beauty does not suit me. But you are really going to be a beauty.”

Yunzhu was a frequent guest to Liuxin Courtyard. Those people outside Liuxin Courtyard knew little about her visit while those people inside Liuxin Courtyard got used to her presence.

Different from her usual manner of dressing in a black cloth and black veil, Yunzhu, today, apparently showed hints of dressing herself up.

Even her cloudy hair-clasp possessed a natural grace.

There was a kind of beauty whose beauty could even be seen when her face was covered up.

Apparently, Yunzhu was that kind of beauty.

“Haha, don’t tease me, Master. I’m just a useless woman. Thanks for your appreciation.”

Yunzhu walked over and sat in front of Lin Mengya.

It actually made her feel more comfortable to not have a veil on her face and to not be afraid of others’ looks.

Because of that, Yunzhu felt more appreciative of Lin Mengya.

“A beauty in the south, as gorgeous as peaches. Do you like peach blossoms?”

Two lines came to her mind, and then Lin Mengya turned and looked at Yunzhu.

Yunzhu stood still for a moment and then she gave a faint smile.

Although she was not as beautiful as peaches and plums, her eyes were so sexually charming that they had the power to make men crazy.

At the moment, Lin Mengya came to realize why her teacher, who was proud and arrogant, had given up his life for the lady in front of her.

The brightness and cleanness in her beautiful eyes conquered him to love her for his whole life.

She was charming, tender, and gorgeous beyond expression. Even Lin Mengya, as a woman, could not help herself falling for her.

It could be imagined how stunning the top beauty in Capital City that year actually was.

“At eight, a master told me my fortune. He claimed that I would be trapped in love and that I’d have a life of romances. Now it seems that he was right.”

Lin Mengya heard the self-mockery in Yunzhu’s voice.

Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and looked at her white fingers.

“Let me draw a peach blossom on your face, may I?”

In modern times, one of her classmates made a tattoo of a blossomed rose on her chest.

But later on, she learned that that girl, who always wore a big smile on her face, had tried to commit suicide due to the frustration in a relationship.

And after she was rescued, there was a scar left on her chest.

Fortunately, that girl managed to get out of bad things. And that scar became the unique charm particular to her due to her rose tattoo.

It was really a pity for someone gorgeous like Yunzhu to be destroyed by a scar on the face.

In addition, she wished that Yunzhu would one day let go of the relationship involving too much love and hatred.

“That’s good. You often come up with an unconventional idea. I can’t help myself to appreciate you either. It’s no wonder that guy would like to take you as his student.”

Yunzhu touched her face and pleasantly said yes.

“He begged me to be his student, okay? Am I the kind of person to feel honored to be his student?”

Lin Mengya mentioned Baili Rui deliberately. She pretended to act like “in fact, I don’t care about him at all”, and threw up her hands.

“He must often be pissed off by you, right?”

Lin Mengya nodded. Yunzhu was right.

Since he took her as his student, Baili Rui always got angry and fierce and argued that his lifespan would be reduced because of her.

Baili Rui was old and began to lose control over his temper.

“Haha, you naughty girl. Why are you so lovely? With you as his student, he would feel happy to have a qualified successor.”

It surprised Lin Mengya that Yunzhu had brought up the topic of Baili Rui.

She thought that both of them would be completely isolated from each other all their lives.

“Are you… still hating Teacher or not?”

She made an attempt to ask and saw a complicated expression flash across Yunzhu’s face.

Yunzhu, then, slightly shook her head and said, “I tried to let go of those things in the past many times, but I failed. Due to the poison in my body, I’m living a muddleheaded life. Only hatred is able to support me to keep awake. But now, I have little hatred toward him. Love or hate are obsessions. Having a genuine, vigorous love is the most worthwhile thing in my life.”

Lin Mengya stared at Yunzhu. In her eyes, Yunzhu was actually the same as Baili Rui.

They had all had a period of being proud and insolent because of their talents and drawing millions of people’s attention.

But eventually, they gave up everything they had for love.

Now, they did not refuse to love each other. Instead, both of them knew clearly that love was the most impossible thing for them to give up anymore.

Therefore, they chose to hide it at the bottom of their hearts and turn it into a drop of blood.

Maybe, it was a kind of way to love each other.

“Since I’ve known Teacher for a long time, I believe there must be a mistake in that accident. He—”

Lin Mengya still believed that she had to untie the knot in Yunzhu’s mind first so that both of them could make peace.

But unexpectedly, she was interrupted by Yunzhu.

“Forget it. What happened that year may have been a mistake. But since it has been so many years, a mistake is a fact. Or maybe, it will be worse than now. It’s taken me so many years to accept the fact. I don’t want to spend another few years to accept a new result. Tell your teacher that I don’t hate him now.”

Yunzhu’s choice to let it go was beyond Lin Mengya’s expectation.

The sentence “I forgive him” had been late in coming for many years. Baili Rui had been waiting for it since many years ago.

“I promise, I will tell him.”

Hearing Lin Mengya’s guarantee, Yunzhu nodded and then lightly turned to disappear into the darkness.

“Sister, come in and make the decision for me! Hurry! Baizhi refuses to pay me the money shamelessly!”

Inside the room, Xiaoyu’s call suddenly came.

Thereafter, Baizhi’s complaint followed, containing a little anger.

“I didn’t act shamelessly. Obviously, you work together with Baishao and rob me of the money. Master, please bring us justice!”

Lin Mengya stood up and entered the main room calmly.

Tonight was so good. Everything was perfect.

In comparison with Liuxin Courtyard, Qinwu Courtyard seemed to be more serious in its aura.

Like lightning, figures rushed from all kinds of places and gathered together in the yard of Qinwu Courtyard.

Tonight, Qinwu Courtyard was crowded with people, yet it was totally quiet.

Inside the study, Long Tianhao indifferently gazed out of the window. Night stood very straight and determined behind Long Tianhao as if he were a dead person in clay.

“Members of three sects and 16 schools are all waiting outside for you, Master.”

Long Tianhao, while nodding, got up and left the study step by step.

Outside the room were many people. But they were all in alignment and even seemed to be breathing at the same rate.

“From now on, I need you to put aside everything you are working on and focus on the investigation of those powers around the empress. Remember, every single detail should be reported to me. Do I make myself clear?”

No answer was heard but everyone knelt down on the ground and accepted his order at the same time.

“All right, you may go.”

Long Tianhao spoke in a cold voice. Those figures, who had appeared hurriedly, disappeared into the darkness orderly again and rushed in different directions.

The night wind blew up the bottom of his clothes. An unfathomable freezing light was seen surging in his eyes.
