Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 196 An Unstable State of Panic

“The important point is that the emperor of Lieyun Empire is a puppet. It was rumored that a first grade official in the courts holds all the power in his hands, and a mysterious Xin Family had been lording over various first grade officials serving terms with power in their hands.

Lin Mengya nodded as she listened to Qinghu’s explanation.

This strategy of forcing the emperor into submission so an official could take over all the power had been used by both Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.

The Xin Family in question was definitely one of those who employed this tactic.

“Within the current Xin Family, there is this young man Xin Li, who, although the second son to his father, is the most highly regarded in his family. He is exceptionally intelligent and therefore was greatly doted upon by his father. He is sly like a fox, violent and cruel like a wolf and he loves torturing convicts. I heard from some people who had been to Lieyun that Xin Li would kill a few hundreds of them just for entertainment every year. The people of Lieyun will live in misery if the nation falls under the control of such a leader. This man was nicknamed “Mr. Rosa Multiflora”, but do note that the Rosa Multiflora flower in his hand had been watered using human blood,” continued Qinghu.

Lin Mengya had to agree with what Qinghu described because from the short period of time she spent with that man last night, she could tell that he was none other than Xin Li.

Were both Xin Li and Xiaoyu the descendants of the Xin Family?

Occasionally, Baisu would reveal a glimpse of Xiaoyu’s background in the things she said.

From the amount of attention given to him, Xiaoyu could stand a chance in obtaining the Xin Family’s inheritance.

Otherwise, why would Xin Li come all the way here to threaten her?

“Lass, why are you making inquiries about him?”

Qinghu’s curiosity had been stirred up. To him, the nation of Lieyun was a thousand miles away and the lass did not have any relatives living there as far as he knew.

After some careful consideration, Lin Mengya decided to keep her encounter with Xin Li a secret from Qinghu.

She knew Qinghu too well. If he were to learn that the man had threatened her with seven daggers, Qinghu would definitely go straight to assassinate that Xin Li by himself.

“I’m just curious. You should know that I’m learning all about poison from my teacher. My teacher used to speak highly about the poisonous bugs and herbs in Lieyun. I’ve heard her mention it a few times.”

Qinghu eyed Lin Mengya suspiciously, but she was good at covering up, so eventually, Qinghu was unable to spot any loopholes.

“What your teacher said was true. However, you’d better keep a distance from this Xin Li if you were to bump into him.”

He must really be a violent man, given that even Qinghu appeared to be fearful of him.

“Do you think I’m a bimbo?”

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at Qinghu. Qinghu than glanced at her chest and said, “I think you’ve tolerable intelligence.”

He turned and fled.

“You, stay there. Explain what you mean by that!”

Lin Mengya ran after him, and the Liuxin Courtyard was once again filled with clamor.

At this instant, Long Tianhao was sitting in his study, feeling unsettled in his heart.

He would never expect Jiang Ruqin to behave so shamelessly.

It looked like he had to think of a way to get this woman out of the mansion as soon as possible.

He was totally perplexed as to why his mother’s temperament had changed so drastically this time she returned home.

Whenever he went over to pay his respect to his mother, she would be nagging him on how Lin Mengya was respectful towards her, how she would overtly agree but covertly oppose.

She also kept singing praises about how virtuous Jiang Ruqin was. It was so overwhelming that he grew sick of it.

Perhaps it was because of Nanny Jinyue’s sudden demise and she was over-grieved.

“Your Highness the Prince, I’ve come to deliver a bowl of green bean soup with lily because Concubine De instructed me to do so.”

The slightly hoarse voice of Nanny Jingyue echoed from outside the room.

Even since Nanny Jinyue passed away, Nanny Jingyue was the only old maid left to serve his mother.

Although Jingyue was usually serious, she was after all an elder serving his mother by her side. For this reason, Long Tianhao was rather respectful towards her.

“Thank you, I’ll drink it in a while.”

Jingyue nodded and was about to say something, but stopped herself, but eventually simply gave Long Tianhao a glance.

“Is anything the matter?” asked Long Tianhao who lifted his head to look at her.

“Your Highness the Prince, please forgive me for being a busybody, but since Concubine De wishes that you take Miss Jiang as wife, why don’t you just submit to her? There’s no way you can prevail over her.”

The look in Long Tianhao’s eyes changed a little as he looked at Jingyue and said, “I know what to do about this. If my mother had sent you to try to persuade me, please forget it.”

Jingyue shook her head when she saw Long Tianhao’s determination in this matter, and eventually left the room.

Long Tianhao put the document in his hand down on the table and stared at the bowl of green bean lily soup. It smelled so fragrant, just like the ones prepared by Jinyue.

The sky was clear this night. After Lin Mengya took a bath, she sat by the window and stared into the night sky full of stars.

As night fell, some men sent by her elder brother had come to deliver the message that his troops would arrive at the capital city in half a month’s time.

Her brother had even sent her a gift with the messenger.

She turned to her dresser and picked up the little box made of sandalwood.

Gently, she opened the box and in there lay a delicate dagger.

Its sharp blade was hidden in the leather scabbard while the hilt was embedded with some precious stones.

She wielded it in the air and found that it really fit her little hand.

This was great, it seemed that only her brother knew what she needed most at this time.

All of a sudden, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard close to her ears.

With a jolt, Lin Mengya turned and pointed the dagger at the intruder.

“Your Highness the Prince, why are you here?”

Lin Mengya suddenly remembered the names of a hundred kinds of poison. However, she was confused by the combination of the herbs they could be made into.

Good heavens! Among these hundreds of poisonous herbs, a handful of them were rare and precious.

Why were these combined into a aphrodisiac?

These people had truly wasted precious raw materials!

Long Tianhao was feeling horrible. His eyes were bloodshot, making him look fearsome.

His eyes came into focus for a while, then lost their focus again and the expression on his face almost looked evil.

His breath was heavy and hot.

D*mn it! He should not have drunk that bowl of soup.

He should have known that his mother would not give up so easily.

As expected, when the aphrodisiac was starting to take effect, Jiang Ruqin had sneaked into his study.

What was Lin Kui and the rest doing? Were they this incompetent?

Could they not even stop a woman from entering his room?

Without any delay, he fled from the flirting Jiang Ruqin. Using all his willpower, he ran all the way to Lin Mengya’s courtyard.

At this moment, he was almost going crazy from the effect of the aphrodisiac.

“Help me... with the antidote...”

His brow were deeply furrowed. He did not want to be overcome by the effect of the aphrodisiac.

“Alright, I’ll think of a way.”

She should just leave him locked up until the effect went away? No way, the aphrodisiac was too strong. Long Tianhao might become a useless man if nothing was done.

How about a cold bath? Where was she going to find cold water?

Lin Mengya turned around and began rummaging through her supply of herbs and medication.

Why were all the medications she found in her room useless? There really a shortage of the medication at the time when it was needed.

The aphrodisiac was gradually taking effect in Long Tianhao’s body.

The shadow of the figure before Long Tianhao’s eyes had become the object of his yearning.

There seemed to be a voice screaming in his head.

“She is your wife, isn’t it her duty to help you get over this?”

If she truly became his woman, she would not be able to leave him easily.

Lin Mengya, who was rummaging through her stuff was suddenly encircled in a hot embrace.

Oh no! Long Tianhao could no longer hold it in.

She turned around in an attempt to tell him to endure a while more, when his mouth came down on hers.

His breath engulfed her in an instant.

In that moment, Lin Mengya felt as if the heavens and the earth were spinning.

This was not a kiss. It was an act of possessiveness a male had towards a female.

Lin Mengya frowned and began beating Long Tianhao with her fists. However, she was terrified to realize that it had no effect on him.

“Let, let go of me!”

She was at a loss of what to do and her eyes were filled with such fear which was rarely seen in them.

No, things should not have happened in this way!

In her struggle, she had somehow provoked the hidden animal instinct in Long Tianhao.

Sin was like the water released from a floodgate. There was no stopping it.

While she let out a scream, all of a sudden, some hit Long Tianhao from behind and he fainted.

“Are you alright, lass? Are you alright?”

Qinghu asked with concern on his bruised face.

The bruises on his face were a result of his struggle with Night.

He would never have expected Long Tianhao to do such a thing to Lin Mengya.

“Qinghu, Qinghu... he was so scary, scary.”

Her clothes had been torn from Long Tianhao’s tugging.

Her frightened screams had alarmed all the people in the Liuxin Courtyard.

A heartbroken Qinghu carried Lin Mengya from the bed.

Her trembling body testified how helpless Lin Mengya was a moment ago.

“Master, Master, are you alright?”

The faces of the four maidservants who entered the room later on were all streaked with tears.

If Qinghu had not fought with Night with all his might, perhaps by now, Lin Mengya would have been...

The people in the Liuxin Courtyard were all aware that Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao were merely husband and wife in name.

Although they were rooting for Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya, what the prince did was too much.

“I’m alright now. Quick, carry the prince to the teacher. He’s been poisoned!”

She was still in shock from what happened, but she did not want any harm to come upon Long Tianhao.

Frankly this was not entirely his fault.

Despite knowing that he was not to be blamed, Lin Mengya’s body continued trembling while Baiji held her in her arms.

“It would be better for scum like him to die!”

Xiaoyu said through his gritted teeth, frowning.

“No, he had really been poisoned and the effect of the poison is powerful. He didn’t do this to me on purpose. Don’t be impulsive, Xiaoyu.”

All of them glanced at the unconscious Long Tianhao and saw that his brows were furrowed into a deep frown, even though his eyes were closed.

It appeared that he was undergoing some torment.

His handsome face was frighteningly flushed.

He was obviously not well.

“Step back, don’t lay a finger on my master!”

The voice of Night echoed through the air. He appeared immediately, walked up to Long Tianhao briskly and helped him up.

However, at that moment, Lin Mengya realized that Night’s right hand seemed to be lacking in strength.

At the same time, she caught Qinghu glaring at him with a cold look on his eyes and she instantly understood what happened.

“Baizhi, go up and help Night!”

Baizhi, though reluctant, was obedient to Lin Mengya and immediately went over to help.

Lin Zhongyu sighed. With a wave of his hand towards Baizhi, he said, “Let me do it. If he wakes up, I want him to give me an account of what happened!”
