Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 516 Finally Detected

“Alright... I get it.”

Lin Mengya almost swallowed her words.

She had to keep the words to herself when she saw the look of concern on Long Tianyu’s face.

“That’s good. I’m going to look for Ling Ye. Is there anything she should keep away from when using this medication?”

Long Tianyu took it that Lin Mengya simply could not take the bitterness of the medication. After inquiring about the details, Long Tianyu left to look for Ling Ye so that he could find something sweet, such as honey dates, and offer it to Lin Mengya.

“Wow, I never expected a prince like Long Tianyu to have an attentive and caring side.”

Zuo Qiuyu teased as he gazed at Long Tianyu’s back as he left.

Honestly, Long Tianyu might not be the best candidate for a husband.

However, Long Tianyu had always surprised him in the things he did for Lin Mengya, which made him want to laugh and cry at the same time.

It was truly beyond his imagination that Prince Yu, who was known for his cold-blooded disposition, would be such a sweet husband.

Apparently, his cousin was something else.

“You have to make up an excuse to keep him away. I’m afraid that he might detect that something was amiss if I could not endure the medicine.”

Lin Mengya muttered after a moment of hesitation as she looked at Long Tianyu’s back as he left.

“Alright, I get it. However, I have observed that Long Tianyu’s condition far exceeded our expectations. Perhaps the effect of the Immortal Powder was not as strong as what we thought.”

Thinking otherwise, Lin Mengya shook her head and her expression turned grave and her thoughts deepened as she continued watching Long Tianyu got further.

In fact, Long Tianyu had been able to maintain his composure mainly because of his strong willpower.

Unlike any normal person, he had an extremely strong mind. The reason the addicts failed in their rehabilitation at the end was that they could not resist the temptation of the Immortal Powder.

Long Tianyu, after all, was human. He was not a god.

It was inevitable for his body to yearn for the Immortal Powder. He was merely using his willpower to suppress the addition.

It was extremely difficult to kick the drug addiction because it was made up of ingredients that increased the addiction.

Although the human body had its own circulatory system, a certain amount of the drug would remain in Long Tianyu’s body even when his body was cleansed with an antidote.

This was the most troublesome part.

“It’s about time that you take the medicine. You should eat something first. Later on, I’ll think of a way to keep Long Tianyu away.”

It saved a lot of trouble for Lin Mengya having Zuo Qiuyu around.

Although Long Tainyu already knew that Lin Mengya was pretty highly accomplished in terms of her medical skills, he would still have Zuo Qiuyu reconfirm the situation every time they discussed Lin Mengya’s illness.

Ling Ye was very efficient. The moment they were done with their breakfast, the dates prepared with the nectar of the fragrant flower had already been brought out and placed before Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya stared at the sweet dates and took in their fragrance.

She took one and put it into her mouth. In that instance, the sweet-sour taste began spreading throughout her mouth.

As expected, all girls were unable to resist the temptation of sweet food.

“Elder Chang said that this should be taken together with the Green Jade Ointment in order for the ointment to be fully effective. You must endure it.”

Despite Lin Mengya having extraordinary endurance, Zuo Qiuyu could not bear to let her suffer.

He poured out a black pill from the little bottle, dissolved it in warm wine and offered it to Lin Mengya.

Simultaneously, Zuo Qiuyu poured out some Fiery Green Jade Ointment and began applying it on Lin Mengya’s snow-white, slender arm.

“Woo hoo...”

As the effect of the drug set in, the crippling burning sensation on her shoulder began to spread further.

Lin Mengya’s brows knitted. The heat was almost unbearable.

Soon, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of perspiration.

Pain was one thing that could sap a person’s stamina.

This was especially true for Lin Mengya at this moment. She felt as if her right arm had been thrown into a pot of boiling water.

“Ouch...”

Finally, she could not hold it anymore but cried out in pain. At hearing her cry, Zuo Qiuyu panicked.

“Mengya! Mengya! Let’s give up if this is too much for you to bear! At least, at least you don’t need to suffer like now!”

Zuo Qiuyu kept his eyes on Lin Mengya, who was writhing on the floor, covered with sweat on her forehead.

Lin Mengya was gritting her teeth while going through the pain. She had even refused to cry out at this moment.

“Mengya! What’s happening?”

Suddenly, a voice filled with shock and anger echoed from outside the door.

Zuo Qiuyu’s heart sank. He turned around and as expected, he saw Long Tianyu’s handsome face filled with both pain and wrath.

“Why are you back? Didn’t you...”

Instinctively, Zuo Qiuyu tried to stop Long Tianyu.

However, he was immediately frozen when Long Tianyu shot him a chilling look.

“No... this has nothing to do with him...”

Long Tianyu dashed towards an agonizing Lin Mengya and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Long Tianyu responded by nodding his head. Looking at Lin Mengya’s face, which had drained of its colors, he felt as if his heart would break in two.

“What’s happening? What has become of you?”

The moment Long Tianyu stepped into the room, he saw that Lin Mengya’s clothes were a little messy.

As he held her in his arms, he felt that her right arm was somewhat warm.

He pulled back her sleeve and realized that her right arm, which used to be snow-white was covered with red lines that were moving like they were earthworms.

Long Tianyu immediately thought that Lin Mengya must have been poisoned. However, when he spotted the bottle of ointment which Zuo Qiuyu did not manage to hide soon enough, he understood what was happening in that instant.

“You...”

He looked at the Lin Mengya in his arms, who was trying so hard to endure the pain.

The many words Long Tianyu wished he could say were stuck in his throat.

How silly of her! She had to endure such great agony but she had kept it from her every time.

He recalled how she had burst into tears a few mornings ago when she could finally move her right arm.

It was only now that Long Tianyu realized that she had to suffer tremendously in exchange for that.

“Woo... hoo... Long Tianyu, this is a conscious choice I made... please don’t blame anyone else.”

While Lin Mengya was in so much pain that it felt as if she was breathing her last, she was still trying her best to stop Long Tianyu from blaming and getting angry with another.

At the sight of Lin Mengya’s pale countenance, Long Tianyu had to gently nod in agreement.

Nevertheless, his arms were getting heavy while holding her.

“Hmm...”

Finally, after hearing the answer she wanted, she could no longer withstand the painful attack.

As was the case in the past, she fell unconscious as the Shen Nung system tried to protect her brain as a reflex.

The sensation of pain may be just a feeling, but such intense stimulation could bring about great harm to her.

Lin Mengya, who was writhing just a moment ago, had quietened down abruptly.

Long Tianyu panicked and looked towards Zuo Qiuyu for help. Deep in his eyes, there was a look of weakness that looked so out of place.

“What’s happening to her? Zuo Qiuyu, what’s happening to Mengya?”

Zuo Qiuyu sighed. He had known that this would be the outcome.

After he felt for Lin Mengya’s pulse, he finally turned to an anxious Long Tianyu and spoke.

“She’s fine. She has simply fainted. Since you’ve witnessed what happened, I shall not keep this from you. Although this ointment works miraculously, it also causes great pain when applied on her arm. It’s good that you know about this now, lest we have to keep it a secret every time we use it. Also, I’d like to warn you, that my cousin said she’s doing it all for you. If you do anything to upset her, my brother, the emperor and I won’t let you off.”

This was not meant to be a threat. Both Zuo Qiuyu and Long Tianyu knew that this was merely a fact.

Long Tianyu gradually regained his composure after knowing that Lin Mengya’s life was not in danger.

Zuo Qiuchen had given him the message before.

This could not be a coincidence now that Zuo Qiuyu had expressed the same message to him.

“What are you getting at?”

Long Tianyu gently laid Lin Mengya down onto the mattress in the living room. Thereafter, he turned to look at Zuo Qiuyu with a severe expression on his face.

“I’m sure you understand me more than anyone else. She may be very intelligent, but she doesn’t have a clear understanding of how things are within the royal family. Long Tianyu, you are in Lintian right now, not Dajin!”

Zuo Qiuyu shouted angrily at Long Tianyu and immediately the atmosphere became tense and hostile.

Perhaps Zuo Qiuyu was willing to be a clown before Lin Mengya. However, he was more like a cunning fox before Long Tianyu.

All the pretense was so that Lin Mengya would not feel uneasy.

“I don’t care what you know, but you are not to mention a word about this to Lin Mengya!”

Long Tianyu shot Zuo Qiuyu a vicious look. He thought it would be better to be open with Zuo Qiuyu now that they knew each other’s situation better.

“Of course I won’t make mention of this, but did you really think I’ve stayed so long in the palace of Dajin just so that I could serve your father, the emperor? If you think that my brother and I are treating Mengya in this way for the sake of the music score for the green stringed instrument in her possession, then you’re mistaken. In Dajin’s palace, relationships between the king and his subjects, your father and his sons, and husbands and wives do not exist. What really exist are slaves blinded of power. At least in our eyes, she is our kin, our younger sister. Therefore, you must look after her. Otherwise, there would be people who would come after you, other than me.”

Zuo Qiuyu would never say such things in front of Lin Mengya.

He had once thought that her union with Long Tianyu was one on mutual benefits.

However, from everything that happened in Dajin as well as Lintian, Zuo Qiuyu could tell that Long Tianyu was sincere towards Lin Mengya.

His only worry was that Long Tianyu’s sincerity might one day be overtaken by power!

Long Tianyu wore a severe expression on his face. Even after Zuo Qiuyu left, Long Tianyu had remained seated in the same posture next to Lin Mengya.

Those things... no, he had to bury those things!

Otherwise...

At this juncture, he knew very clearly that losing Lin Mengya would be the most agonizing pain for him. In fact, he would not be able to bear such an agony!

With a severe expression on his face, Long Tianyu cast a last look at Lin Mengya before he left the living room quietly.

“Ling Ye.”
