Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 340 Successful Escape

But the complacent expressions on their faces did not last for long.

Because all they saw was an empty cupboard, not what they had expected.

However, Horse Hand was hesitating and had a nervous look on his tough face.

Before putting it on the carriage, he had personally checked and found nothing in the cupboard.

In his mind, Master was a rich family. Their silvers or golds would have been hidden in other places. How could it possibly be discovered by those guards?

Guards were becoming useless.

How dare they ransack boxes and vassals so publicly on the street.

But as a common person, Horse Hand could only murmur to himself, silently.

The two guards looked at each other, got out of the carriage, and then waved to Horse Hand to let him go.

“What went wrong? We had news that there would be a person hiding in the carriage. Why...”

The two guards shook their heads in confusion and went to look for their next target.

Horse Hand drove the carriage and disappeared round the corner of the street. He shook his head, “Weird things happen every year, especially this year.”

Various carriages which were used for moving things, were being used from day to night.

Lin Mengya, who had been set as the target, had been staying in the spacious, comfortable room since morning, drinking sweet soup and eating desserts. Sometimes she teased Qiu Yu just to see how angry he became. Lin Mengya was enjoying her leisure time, like an onlooker with nothing to do.

“My Lady, everything has been carried out, according to your order. In half an hour, they will be sent back. Are there any other orders?”

Lin Mengya crossed her legs and looked out at the busy people, by the window. She could spend as much money as she wanted, because the money was Qiu Yu’s.

She turned to look at the young man, with an unpleasant expression on her face.

He had showed up suddenly, like a handsome man whose sensual passion was suppressed. Even his white attire made him look like Xu Changqing, the famous handsome tv character.

But when she heard him addressing her as “My Lady” drily, Lin Mengya felt uncomfortable.

It’s like—she had become the chief culprit in the downfall of promising young men.

She tried to soften her own facial expression. As she stared at the man in front of her, Lin Mengya asked sullenly.

“Do I owe you money? I know I have a bad memory. If there’s something I did wrong, be tolerant with me, please.”

There was no reaction from the man, he just stood out there politely and respectfully.

He seemed like a wax figure.

Seeing her failure to flirt with him, Lin Mengya stopped that topic awkwardly, and went back to drink the sweet soup and enjoy desserts, sitting by the window.

“Wasn’t your escape plan to hide in the cupboard? And just now, you’ve been in a draught by the window. Ah-choo— Don’t you feel chilly?”

Although it was already well into spring, it was still cold outside.

Three fire pans were burning inside the room, but it was still not enough to overcome the wind that blew in through the wide-opened window.

Qiu Yu, dressed in a grey ermine jacket, had a confused look in his eyes, as he stared at Lin Mengya.

“It’s cold, of course.”

Lin Mengya did not care and wiped her nose made dirty by the cold wind, without feeling awkward at all.

“That’s why I am here. Without me by the window, how could they feel at ease? Besides, you can’t live in this house anymore. If no one provides you with money, you may stand a complete loss, right?”

Those words really surprised Qiu Yu.

But he did not believe that Lin Mengya would be kind enough to think for his own good.

There must be something beyond his consideration.

Qiu Yu felt shivers running down his back. Those reckless guys had no idea what a fiend they were keeping.

“Tomorrow, there will be breaking news in the Capital City. Guards waylaid folks on the street. Well, what a disturbance it will create.”

Lin Mengya took a bite of a crispy red bean cake with satisfaction, and was impressed by the intelligence of the Crown Prince.

She wondered whether the Crown Prince was sure that his father would die.

Therefore, no matter what it was, he would send some guards to do it.

He may feel it to be convenient, of course. But he could not have expected that Long Tianyu, or those senior members of the royal family like the King of Chongshan had already expressed their great dissatisfaction with him.

However, the Crown Prince still did things his own way.

He had the illusion that he owned the power and would eventually ascend the throne.

Lin Mengya shook her head. She was not sure whether he really had that ambition. But Lin Mengya was sure that even though the Emperor passed away right now, the Crown Prince could not ascend the throne.

“Well, what do you think motivates the Crown Prince to do something that would expose his lack of intelligence?”

Lin Mengya was very curious about that.

The Empress came from a noble family and Lin Mengya had had a taste of her brutality after several face to face battles. Even Lin Mengya could not escape unscathed, without good luck.

But the Crown Prince— Even children in the kindergarten would think of his schemes to be very naive.

It was really weird. Did the Empress truly just sit and watch her son making such obvious mistakes?

“I think that the Empress spoils the Crown Prince. So she does not stop what he is doing.”

Right now, Qiu Yu had submitted to the questioning of words out of Lin Mengya’s mouth.

Only one thing he was sure of, was that he would be exhausted, even before those spies became dizzy, if this continued.

“No. Although I lived in the palace for just a few days, I had a feeling after confronting the Empress that she is an ambitious, powerful and competent woman. I believe there must be something different.”

Lin Mengya put the last bit of the crispy red bean into her mouth. It was now totally dark outside.

The monkey show should be over. She did not need to continue blow a cold wind over here.

“I’ll pay attention to it. But you should go now. They’ve been worn-out because of you. Now it must be the best time to leave.”

Qiu Yu cheered up. Finally, Lin Mengya could leave. He would cry his eyes out.

After giving him a look, Lin Mengya kept quiet and did not speak.

She dressed herself swiftly in a black robe. Then, a smart looking maid appeared in front of Qiu Yu.

But the garnet red coat she wore, was put on a scarecrow.

Qiu Yu also changed his clothes. Then, there were three similar scarecrows in the room. Qiu Yu and Lin Mengya drove the carriage with the furniture on it, and got out of Number thirteen, Willows Tang in full view of the public.

The moment they got out of the door, a lick of flame lit up secretly in the backyard.

After getting out so smoothly, Lin Mengya did not return to Prince Yu’s Mansion first.

There were lots of spies on the way back, as well as many guards.

There were several armchairs made of rose wood, on their carriage.

Till now, the carriage had made three trips. It was stopped and searched every time. This time there was no exception.

But when they examined them as usual, those guards waved to them in disgust, after seeing their looks, and then let them leave.

After bowing and scraping calmly, Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu drove the carriage and disappeared out of their sight.

“It worked. You surprised me. But if it carries on like this, will our mouth and eyes remain twisted?”

The speaker was Qiu Yu. At the moment, he was not a handsome, young gentleman anymore.

He was a black-skinned man with a twisted mouth and eyes, drooling, and looked middle aged.

“Don’t worry about that. Your beauty won’t be ruined!”

The one giving an answer was Lin Mengya, a crippled servant with her face full of pockmarks.

Today, Qiu Yu’s subordinates found those drays.

But this dray was prepared by Qiu Yu personally.

The drivers were his subordinates. In fact, Lin Mengya just changed their facial nerves a little, with her silver needles.

To be honest, it was difficult to change one’s appearance, while it was very easy to ruin one’s appearance.

“Good. I’m just worrying that many girls will feel sad about it. Are we going to turn to Prince Yu’s Mansion? Right now, I’m afraid that they won’t have time to think about us, right?”

Suddenly, their dray stopped in an alley. Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu got out immediately, and got into a small nondescript carriage. The horse ran swiftly and soon they got to a drug store.

There was three words on it — Sanjue Hall. It could be seen very clearly, even at night.

The carriage was still running in the street, empty, without anyone sitting inside.

“Master!”

“Master!”

“Master!”

Three screams rang out at the same time, from Sanjue Hall.

Lin Mengya put her forefinger on her lips at once, and made a sign to be quiet.

After making sure that there was no one following them, Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu came into the yard of Sanjue Hall.

Everything went on as normal at Sanjue Hall, according to its owner, Lin Mengya’s order. But there were a lot of people gathering there now.

“Aunt Bai, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?”

Upon entering the room, Lin Mengya immediately asked for food, with a big smile. Aunt Bai had already prepared everything. She immediately served her simple home cooked food, and told her husband to get water for Lin Mengya to wash herself.
