Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 532 Monstrous Power

“If this is indeed true, wouldn’t this person’s power be comparable to that of a king?”

Lin Mengya was struck dumb with surprise. Although she had deduced that this mysterious man behind Qinghu was so powerful that he had direct access to the highest authorities.

However, from what Long Tianyu said, she almost felt that what she knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Long Tianyu’s countenance appeared rather dignified.

“No, perhaps that person behind Qinghu indeed possesses great power on a certain level. However, the king is someone who governs an entire nation after all. No matter how formidable that man is, there’s no way he could have the same kind of control as a king. Nevertheless, if we are talking about the situation in the Nation of Lintian, he only needs to nurture a puppet emperor and the Nation of Lintian would fall into his hands. My father, the emperor had long discovered this man’s existence. However, after years of investigating, my father and I are still unable to grasp any clues regarding this mysterious man in the dark despite knowing that he is extremely wealthy and cunning.”

Long Tianyu began feeling frustrated at the mention of this matter.

It was inevitable for anyone who had made such a great effort to investigate but reaped nothing in return to feel frustrated.

Lin Mengya, on the other hand, seemed to come to a realization from Qinghu’s warning today as well as Long Tianyu’s words. They were like a lead that linked up the many tiny pieces of information which she did not understand before now.

Qinghu once mentioned that this mysterious and cold-blooded power had been around since he was young.

If she were to calculate backward base on Qinghu’s age, this power would have existed even back in the generation of her grandfather.

Moreover, they had actually spent so much effort just so that they could lay hold of the music score for the green stringed instrument in her possession, could she then deduce that her mother had not left on impulse?

Perhaps the reason the Chief Elder died was really that he had given his all to cover up and protect her mother.

Could this mean that her mother had left her brothers and kinsman to go to a foreign country to avoid a disaster?

Could she then make a wild guess that Cousin Chen went through the turbulent time of seizing power as the descendent of the concubine was a result of the action of the mysterious power?

In this case, what on earth was this music score for the green stringed instrument in her possession?

If even the sovereign power of the nation dreaded such power and thought the power to be so precious, she could understand the reason behind this even if she were some dim wits.

The only question now was what use was the music score for the green instrument?

An answer which was about to come out at one’s call had been obstructed by a weak wall.

What Lin Mengya needed most now was a hammer to tear down this wall.

Whatever was the secret?

Seeing that Lin Mengya was in a daze while she pondered, Long Tianyu called out softly to her and waved his hand before her eyes.

However, she did not respond to him at all.

If he had known that she would be so serious about it, he would have chosen to keep some things from her, lest she be overly anxious and tired herself over this matter.

“Mengya! Mengya! Get a grip on yourself. Stop thinking about it.”

She thought there was a voice calling out to her from afar.

Lin Mengya suddenly regained her consciousness and the first thing she saw was the anxious look on Long Tianyu’s handsome face.

She lifted her hand and brushed it over her forehead.

She was more and more familiar with the use of the Shen Nung system. As a habit now, she would resort to using the system to analyze large amounts of information whenever she came across anything difficult.

Perhaps it was because she was so used to it now that nowadays she no longer felt the dizziness when she overused the system.

Unfortunately, while she was involved in developing the Shen Nung system, she was only in charge of part of the project.

Perhaps even her teacher did not completely understand this high-tech smart system for the human brain.

“I’m alright. I’ve only been too focused on my thoughts. Oh yes, Qinghu came to tell me to get out of this place with you as soon as possible. He must have received word that the man was getting impatient and could not wait to deal with me.”

Long Tianyu sneered when he heard Lin Mengya’s words.

Who would be so audacious to think of laying a finger on his wife?!

“Although Qinghu said that not even you would be able to protect me, shouldn’t we get back at them in some ways given that they had played so many tricks on me.”

A sly look flashed across her eyes. Long Tianyu could not help but felt a warm feeling within him, being touched by what he saw.

His little fox always managed to take advantage of others instead of the other way round.

“Alright.”

His simple, one-word answer told of how much he doted on her.

He was willing to anything to make her happy.

In contrast with the exciting atmosphere Lin Mengya was enjoying, the people in the Pavilion of Herbs were undergoing the toughest time of their lives at this moment.

Just as Lin Mengya expected, they, being the outsiders, were the first suspects when something happened in the stone chamber.

However, the four of them acted as if nothing had happened. They ate and drank as usual. Despite being incredulous, those people did not dare to openly search their premise.

Because of this, they were able to shift the suspicion onto people from other courtyards.

Once they moved on to the other courtyards, they no longer treated those people as politely as they treated Lin Mengya and her company.

Although it was already evening time, there was quite a stir in the inner courts.

It was not very convenient for Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu, and Zuo Qiuyu to go out, so they had to rely on Yu An, who was at liberty to go out to gather information.

Not long after, he sneaked back with news, wearing a victorious smile on his face.

“You may not be aware, Princess, that a great commotion has started outside. Nan Rui and the two Duanmu elders claimed that someone had snuck into the pharmacy last night to mess up the examination question. They did a search within the inner courts and finally found that two of Elder Qian’s disciples had gone missing. The elders are now in a heated argument. Elder Qian refuses to admit and insisted that Nan Rui and the two Duanmu elders are trying to frame him. As for those two disciples, they must have been enticed by some bad guys to shift the blame. You missed a good show. Those four elders who ages add up to more than two hundred years were shouting abuse at each other like shrill housewives.”

Yu An could not smother a laugh. It must have been a funny sight, but it was also an outlet to vent his displeasure.

It appeared that everyone apart from Chang Tianhua knew what was going on the night before.

They were just not sure who the culprit was.

What was so coincidental was the disappearance of the two disciples.

His suspicious gaze moved from Zuo Qiuyu to Long Tianyu.

However, the two men, like her, were rather stunned and dumbfounded.

After pondering for a moment, a knowing smile appeared on Lin Mengya’s face.

“Why? Do you know who did it?”

Long Tianyu raised his eyebrows as he fixed his gaze on the lass who was smiling away.

“Who else but Qinghu? He knows best that I’m the kind of person who would never suffer losses in silence. Naturally, he would take this opportunity to play a trick on them. I had wanted to do the same, but he had beat me to it.”

At that time, Lin Mengya was practicing her handwriting when coincidentally, Yu An returned.

After all that had happened, she finally came to a realization of the cause of effect of this incident.

“Qinghu? Is he the previous leader of Peach Blossom Dock? My dear cousin, you are indeed surrounded by many talents!”

While Long Tianyu was familiar with Qinghu, Zuo Qiuyu looked surprised. He did not have many interactions with Qinghu. He had merely heard about this legendary figure from the mouths of other people.

Having made much effort just to enter the Pavilion of Herbs himself, it surprised him that Qinghu seemed to enter it with much ease as if there was no one guarding the pavilion.

“He is indeed a very capable person, just that he is a very troublesome, capable man. I will introduce the two of you if there’s a chance in the future.”

At this moment, a shadow flashed by his forehead.

While no one noticed, he was sensitive enough to feel the intimacy between Lin Mengya and Qinghu when she mentioned him.

Although he knew that Lin Mengya treated Qinghu as her elder brother and that Qinghu did not intend to overstep the boundaries, he was after all a man.

Regardless of how Qinghu tried to hide his feelings, Long Tianyu could still sense Qinghu’s affection towards Lin Mengya hidden in his heart.

Although Long Tianyu knew that Lin Mengya would not have a change of heart towards him, Long Tianyu, who had not been in a romantic relationship before, tasted jealousy for the first time.

He was jealous.

“Sounds like a plan. I’ve heard about him for a long time. This man is an amazing man—”

Zuo Qiuyu, who was getting all excited, suddenly realized that someone was wearing a cold look in his eyes.

Err... maybe it was time for him to back away.

“It’s getting late, cousin. I shan’t impose on you any longer. Let’s go back to rest, Yu An!”

Once he finished speaking, he dragged Yu An along with him and left in a hurry, leaving Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu alone in their room.

“This man is such an oddball.”

Lin Mengya had missed the chilling look in Long Tianyu’s eyes, which seemed to overflow.

She sighed softly, looking at Zuo Qiuyu’s back as he left. After that, she went back to practicing her handwriting.

She could not help but feel ashamed that although she was so highly educated, the handwriting of a doctor was intelligible to the people of modern times.

However, the others in her profession made no mistakes in recognizing these lively and vigorous flourishes in calligraphy.

This made her handwriting look like unintelligible scribbles.

Now that she had promised Chang Tianhua and Zuo Qiuyu, she had to write out the entire music score for the green stringed instrument from memory.

If someone else were to write it down while she recited, it might waste even more time.

Anyway, she did not have much to do within these few days. She might as well calm down to practice her handwriting.

Nevertheless, the soft brushes were a thousand times more difficult to write than using the ballpoint pen.

She had spent the entire evening writing only simple characters with basic strokes.

Compared to when she first started her handwriting had transformed from squiggly scribbles to more recognizable characters. However, she had paid the price of a strained wrist.

Thank goodness that her right arm had regained its sensation and practicing her handwriting was as good as doing physiotherapy.

However, when she looked at the characters Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu wrote for her, she felt like carrying her writings and hiding in some mouseholes.
