Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 320 The Loss of The Case History

In the Imperial Hospital, everyone greeted Lin Mengya. They were so polite and respectful to her as if she were a Bodhisattva and they almost wanted to worship her.

Lin Mengya did not want to explain to them anymore. It was good that they kept a distance from her so that they could not make any more trouble for her.

When she left yesterday, although she did not lock her things up, she still made a small mark on them.

Although the traces were subtle, someone did go through her things. Lin Mengya silently sneered. And even if they really read it, they could not understand anything.

Someone must have cursed her in their mind last night. Who could they blame for their lack of education?

As Lin Mengya just arrived here, Su Tong came over with an apologetic expression.

He smiled first and greeted her and then said, “You have worked really hard for these several days, Your Highness. We’re going to feel His Majesty’s pulse tomorrow. Are you ready for that, Your Highness?”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. She thought that this man was coming to persuade her to not take the emperor’s pulse. But now, what did he really want?

Were they really convinced? Or did they plot another scheme against her and were waiting for her to fall into their trap?

Lin Mengya pondered for a moment and then put on a tender smile.

She patted the prescriptions on the table that they must have already seen and said, “I’m just going to learn from you and gain experience, so I’ve had nothing to prepare for. I just don’t want to be too embarrassed. Sorry that you saw these things.”

Su Tong showed nothing on his face, but his eyes flitted.

The reason why Lin Mengya said so must be that she already knew that they had peeked at her prescriptions.

This kind of thing was actually an old habit of the Imperial Hospital. They just wanted to know what Lin Mengya had on her mind, but they did not expect that the handwriting on the neat prescriptions would be so undecipherable. They did not understand even a word.

The more they came into contact with her, the more they felt that the Princess Yu in front of them was really as enigmatic as the rumors said.

Maybe from the beginning, they underestimated this little girl.

“You’re too modest. But checking His Majesty‘s pulse is a matter related to the rise and fall of the entire nation, so we have to be careful. Therefore, could you please take out the case history and let us study it together?”

So, he had come here to borrow things. Lin Mengya was really speechless to those who always beat about the bush.

She was not a hooligan or a bully. Did they really have to be mealy-mouthed like this?

“It’s all right. Baisu, go and take out His Majesty’s case history and send it to Lord Su.”

The case history was put in the brocade box, and Baisu was ordered to take it. But as soon as she had the box in her hand, her expression changed slightly.

“What happened?” Lin Mengya looked at Baisu with puzzlement and asked.

“Um... Doctor Su, I just remembered that my master still needs to use the case history today. I wonder if Doctor Su could borrow it later? I’ll send it to you as soon as my master is finished. Do you think that’s ok?”

What Baisu said surprised Su Tong.

And then he looked at Lin Mengya, wanting to confirm that with her.

“Look at how forgetful I am! This is what I told Baisu yesterday. There are still some things on the prescriptions that I need to think over.”

Although Lin Mengya did not know why Baisu said so, she cooperated with Baisu to lie.

This girl knew clearly about the order of priority. It must have been some accident that made her so quick-witted.

Since Princess Yu said so, Su Tong did not stick to his opinion and left.

There was only the master and servant pair left in the room. After exchanging knowing looks, Lin Mengya went with her to a corner facing the door.

In this way, people could not eavesdrop on what they were talking about, but they could clearly see what they were doing.

“Master, the emperor’s case history has disappeared.”

Her forehead was covered with beads of perspiration. Although Baisu did not know the rules in the palace, she still knew that anything related to the emperor was extraordinary.

“What? Disappeared? It shouldn’t be. I remember that I put it in the brocade box. Let’s keep looking. Remember, don’t alarm the people outside.”

Lin Mengya was secretly startled. It was no joke.

The case history was the medical history of the emperor.

Moreover, because of the sensitivity of identities, what was recorded above was not just about the emperor alone.

Some things were even royal secrets. Therefore, the case history of every emperor would even be taken to his mausoleum together after his death, not to mention being lost.

Now the case history was lost in Lin Mengya’s hands. She knew instantly what a serious crime she would be charged with.

Their searching was futile. Lin Mengya would never throw around such an important thing.

Baisu still did not give up searching. But Lin Mengya sat at the table, thinking intently.

She was almost the last one to leave last night, for she lived in the palace. Except for the imperial physician who was on duty last night not leaving, none of the imperial physicians had left the palace after her.

If it was Su Tong who asked someone to do it and then he came to ask for the case history today, was he not afraid to be suspected by her? With Su Tong’s shrewd character, he would not do such a thing.

To avoid the situation of secretly carrying things, the imperial physicians had to be searched by the special eunuchs when they entered and left the palace. The emperor’s case history could not be taken out of the palace.

But the palace was so huge. If the case history was hidden somewhere, with only the personal abilities of her and Baisu, trying to find the case history was as hard as looking for a needle in a haystack.

Tomorrow they had to go to check the emperor’s pulse. But today, she lost the case history, which could not be concealed from anyone.

Although she did not know exactly what they wanted to do, it was quite clear that they wanted to hurt her. What an excellent insidious scheme. It almost made her be obediently captured.

With a cold smile forming at the corner of her mouth, Lin Mengya looked at the seemingly innocent imperial physicians outside. Did they want to frame her? Even the Heavens would not agree!

Just two hours later, Lin Mengya grabbed the brocade box in person and returned it to Su Tong.

Baisu looked a little anxious and uneasy. Especially when she saw the brocade box, she rapidly looked away as if she were guilty.

“Sorry for the delay, Doctor Su and officials. His Majesty’s case history is so detailed and complete that it really benefits me, a junior, a lot. Now, I return it intact to you. Officials, please forgive me.”

After she put the brocade box on the table in the atrium, everyone’s eyes were attracted to this small brocade box.

Su Tong immediately took it over. After dismissing those unqualified apprentices and imperial physicians, he opened the box with four highly qualified imperial physicians.

Lin Mengya retreated to the side. She silently looked the imperial physicians up and down, who were like four big kings.

Although each had his own advantages, they were all top-notch and formidable people. But Lin Mengya had already prepared for these people.

“Teacher, I have something to tell you, yet I’m hesitant about it.”

A slightly timid voice attracted Lin Mengya’s attention.

She looked up and saw a familiar face. The round eyes on the face were as innocent as fawns. Was this kid Xiaofeng?

“What’s the matter? Don’t you see that I’m busy?”

A man who appeared to be in his 40s rebuked him with a serious look on his face.

Looking at his teacher’s serious expression, Xiaofeng could not help trembling. But he bit his lips. With a bit of an unnatural blush on his cheeks, it seemed that it took him a lot of effort and courage to say it.

“Teacher... the case history may be fake!”

All of a sudden, these words made the entire Imperial Hospital in an uproar.

But Lin Mengya was still calm and peaceful. She smiled faintly as if she was not worried at all. It was like she was watching a performance that had nothing to do with her.

“Nonsense! The case history is obviously real! You are just a little apprentice, don’t talk boloney!”

The man was He Tian, Doctor He of the Imperial Hospital. Although he had just met Lin Mengya, he still treated her with respect like Su Tong.

But Qiu Yu once warned her to be careful of these four imperial physicians. So Lin Mengya did not have much contact with him.

“Teacher, I’m not talking nonsense. Because last night... last night... Senior Brother Liu Yi saw something he shouldn’t have seen, so Senior Brother Liu Yi hasn’t come back yet!”

The drama was playing out again.

Lin Mengya stood there with interest, watching this drama that had been carefully prepared by the conspirators for her.

“What? Xiaofeng, tell me, what happened to your Senior Brother Liu Yi?”

Just now he was not so keen on the case history. Now, when Xiaofeng mentioned this student named Liu Yi, He Tian became so nervous. It could be seen that he cultivated this student with all his heart.

Lin Mengya could understand that. Many teachers even regarded their best student as more important than their own children.

That was why her teacher had taught her everything and laughed off all her “offenses”.

He Tian’s beloved student was also involved. It seemed that these people were ambitious.

“Senior Brother Liu Yi was on duty yesterday, but Senior Brother Qi Tian, who should have been on duty together with him, said that he was unwell, so I replaced him. Probably after dinner, Senior Brother Liu Yi found me in a great hurry. He told me that there was a very important thing for me to keep, and I could not take it out unless there was no other way. But I was so tired that I only heard that he said he had seen something he shouldn’t see, so he won’t be living for long. At that time, I thought he was joking, but I didn’t expect that when I woke up this morning, I couldn’t find him anywhere. It just occurred to me that his disappearance must have something to do with His Majesty’s case history.”

He was such a weak young man, but he was so calm when telling lies. Lin Mengya almost wanted to applaud Xiaofeng for his great acting.

He Tian suspiciously looked at Xiaofeng, as if considering if he was telling the truth.
