Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 778 A Man of a Cruel Heart and Malicious Means

Since Madame Jingrou was born in the Xin Family, she had been trained as the chosen witch and grown into a noble lady.

For this reason, compared with ordinary women, she not only was infinitely tender, but also had a calm and impartial attitude towards state affairs.

Perhaps women like the Empress and Madame Hui only focused on the imperial harem and coveted the throne for selfish reasons.

But Madame Jingrou was more concerned about helping the Emperor choose a compassionate and decisive successor rather than helping her son inherit the throne.

Lin Mengya suddenly realized why Madame Jingrou and the Emperor had been a devoted couple in the past more than 20 years.

With such an understanding wife, the Emperor could definitely accomplish something significant.

She did not have a thorough understanding of something as Madame Jingrou did.

“Madame, I’m flattered. Xiaoyu is a benign kid. You seem to be implying that the Eldest Prince has done something terrible?” Lin Mengya asked tentatively.

In fact, she could tell at a glance that the Eldest Prince was difficult to deal with.

But only Madame Jingrou and the Emperor knew how difficult it was to deal with him.

As she expected, although Wanyan Jing was the son of the Empress, Madame Jingrou had doted on him sincerely.

Madame Jingrou frowned slightly and said with a trace of worry in her eyes, “Five years ago, he followed His Majesty to hunt. His Majesty targeted a white deer, but he discovered it had given birth to a baby before he chased it. His Majesty intended to let the white deer go, but that night, Jing’er offered him a roasted fawn and cut off the head of the white deer as the prize. Since then, His Majesty paid attention to Jing’er’s actions in all respects and found that he was extremely cruel and merciless and definitely not a person of goodwill.”

Perhaps the Eldest Prince did not consider hunting a big deal.

However, one could recognize the whole through observation of the part. The Emperor couldn’t bear to hurt the poor white deer and its baby, but Wanyan Jing slaughtered them ruthlessly. It could be seen that he was far more vicious than common people.

Coincidentally, the palace maid Lin Mengya sent to check on how the Eldest Prince dealt with Beauty Jin came to report at this moment. Lin Mengya asked her to come in, only to see that she seemed to have been so terribly frightened that she was trembling slightly.

“What happened? Why are you so terribly scared?” Closing the door of the chamber, Lin Mengya asked.

She had a hunch that something serious must have happened.

The palace maid looked as pale as a sheet, trembled like a wreck and said fearfully, “Ma… Madame, His Highness instructed his men to cut off Beauty Jin’s tongue, scoop out her eyes, throw them into the oil pot, and then feed them to her. I… I’m so…”

She was shivering. She had just seen it secretly, but she was terribly scared.

It could be seen what a cruel punishment Beauty Jin had received.

“What?” Madame Jingrou exclaimed.

Learning this news, not only Lin Mengya, but also Madame Jingrou was panic-stricken.

In any case, Beauty Jin was his father’s concubine. How… how could he deal with her like that?

This news sent a chill down their spines.

Lin Mengya personally walked the trembling palace maid back, told her to take three days off, and asked someone to decoct a sedative for her, and then returned to the chamber.

As soon as she entered the chamber, she, whose keen nose was irritated by the soothing scent of sandalwood, felt a little uncomfortable.

Ningqiu, who was holding an incense box in the chamber, was also confused.

After exchanging looks with Lin Mengya, Ningqiu gave her a helpless wink.

In the past, Madame Jingrou didn’t like this kind of incense that was too strong, but Ningqiu had no idea what was going on today. If she hadn’t come in to have a look, this box of incense would have been thrown into the censer by Madame Jingrou.

Madame Jingrou sat in the chair, lost in thought. Fortunately, she returned to normal in a short time.

Nevertheless, her hands clenched inadvertently gave away the emotions she hid at the bottom of her heart.

Lin Mengya could understand Madame Jingrou’s feelings at this moment. Wanyan Jing had once been chosen by her and the Emperor to be the successor of the throne, so she inevitably had spent a lot of care on educating Wanyan Jing.

Unexpectedly, he turned out like this.

Lin Mengya shook her head in her heart, thinking someone like him was born to be cruel and could not be changed through education.

“Madame… what do you think we should do with Beauty Jin?” Lin Mengya asked.

Although Beauty Jin’s eyes had been scooped out and her tongue had been cut off, she was still alive.

Nevertheless, she would live miserably for the rest of her life after being treated properly.

If she had to suffer for the rest of her life, it would be better to…

All of a sudden, Lin Mengya was astonished at her ruthlessness. Back then, she even tried all she could to treat the lady whose internal organs had been exposed.

Since when did she become a person who judged someone else’s life and death arbitrarily?

Could it be that her long-term experience in crises had gradually turned her into a cold-hearted person?

She had a moment of panic, fearing that one day she would treat human lives like dirt as the Eldest Prince did.

Subconsciously, she grasped the sachet containing the relic of Master Yunfang, not sure if it was her illusion that a trace of warmth seemed to be spread from her palms to the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps she would never sink into eternal darkness.

“I’m afraid that she can’t continue staying in the imperial palace. I’ll report it to His Majesty and ask to send her out of the imperial palace and find a place for her to spend her remaining years. Given that Yu’er is going to enter the imperial palace, you may stay here and wait for him. Jing’er has gone too far this time,” Madame Jingrou said.

In any case, she must protect Beauty Jin from getting killed.

Once the ruthless Empress recovered, she would probably kill Beauty Jin, who had once been her ally, for the sake of her son’s reputation.

Madame Jingrou could save Beauty Jin by sending her out of the imperial palace right away, as the Empress and the Eldest Prince were presumably experienced in murdering people to keep their mouths shut.

Lin Mengya should inform Xiaoyu about this.

In fact, the reason why Wanyan Jing dealt with Beauty Jin in this way was not only to project himself as a strict and impartial man, but more importantly, to send a signal that he was now in charge of the imperial palace!

If that was the case, the Eldest Prince probably was ready to usurp the throne at any time.

It seemed that she must find out what trump card in his hands was!

A series of incidents had happened in the imperial palace. The priests were still unable to cure the Empress, and the Eldest Prince punished Beauty Jin ruthlessly. At present, everyone in the imperial palace felt insecure.

Checking the time, she estimated that the Empress, who was poisoned by her, would gradually recover.

Moreover, the Empress would feel extremely thirsty. As long as she drank three bowls of water, most of the poison in her body would be removed.

The Emperor had consented to the plan to hunt down the priests. In less than five days, the tribes would plunge into chaos.

Everything had been arranged, and now Lin Mengya just needed to protect Madame Jingrou and Xiaoyu in the imperial palace.

But the arrival of the Eldest Prince made her, who had felt relieved, filled with anxiety again.

In particular, after learning his ruthless means, Lin Mengya became afraid of him to a certain extent.

Everyone in the imperial palace, including the members of the Fengyu Court, was overwhelmed by these things.

The Linqiu Pavilion almost became a forbidden area in the imperial palace. No one was willing to set foot there unless they had extremely important business.

As soon as Xiaoyu moved into the courtyard, he took out what he collected for his sister one by one, put them on the table so that she could have a look at them, and said, “Look, these are knickknacks I bring you from outside and plenty of recreational books you liked. Do you like them, sister?”

“Yes, I like them all. Put them away, lest others see them and gossip about us again,” Lin Mengya said.

In fact, she was delighted that Xiaoyu could come.

But she had been haunted by what the Eldest Prince had done.

Even Madame Jingrou took pains to send Beauty Jin out of the imperial palace. However, she could only worry about this in the Fengyu Court and could do nothing to help.

It was only at this moment that Lin Mengya realized how insignificant and helpless she was after losing all support.

“Did Wanyan Jing upset you?” Xiaoyu asked.

He, who had just entered the imperial palace, only knew a little about what had happened to Beauty Jin because the Emperor and Madame Jingrou deliberately prevented the news from spreading.

He didn’t know the details, but only knew that Wanyan Jing punished a lady, who offended Madame Jingrou, without permission.

To be honest, he didn’t have a favorable impression of Beauty Jin, so he was glad to learn that she was punished.

Nevertheless, hearing that his mother and sister had met Wanyan Jing, he thought they were upset by Wanyan Jing.

“No, but I want to tell you to be careful of Wanyan Jing. He’s not a person of goodwill,” Lin Mengya said.

She was unwilling to tell Xiaoyu about the bloody thing. Although she was aware that Xiaoyu was no longer that simple youngster, she still wanted to try her best to conserve the precious soft spot in his heart.

Wanyan Yu nodded obediently. He considered no one more important than his sister.

Therefore, no matter if she asked him to be careful of Wanyan Jing or do anything else, he would do as she asked.

“Let me see what exactly you bring me,” Lin Mengya said.

She, whose ears were sharper than those of common people, seemed to be aware of some footsteps outside.

She immediately changed her attitude and put on a carefree look.

However, Wanyan Yu grabbed her hand and looked at her hesitantly.

“What’s wrong? Why do you look so troubled?” Lin Mengya reached out to touch Xiaoyu’s hair and asked.

He rarely showed such a troubled look in front of her.

Xiaoyu tried to dodge her eyes, but after deliberating for a long while, he cautiously looked into her eyes and said, “Someone… wants to meet you. I know you may be unwilling to meet her, but she has knelt to me for three days. I have no other choice but to bring her to meet you. But if you don’t want to meet her, I will make her disappear right now, and she won’t appear in front of you for the rest of her life. Sister, what do you think?”
