Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 366 Unreasonable

Apparently, the man could not believe that the woman standing in front of him, with the messy hair and clothes, was Princess Yu, who was well-known in the Capital City.

Fortunately, the experienced Steward Deng took out the token from Prince Yu’s Mansion. The problem was then solved. However, the leader still did not accord them the proper respect.

“Even if you are Princess Yu, you should be with your husband and your family at home. I don’t think they would approve of you getting involved in affairs with some hooligans. You should behave yourself and act like a real princess.”

The man was actually lecturing Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya felt angry, but found it funny at the same time. The man was a warrior, but he spoke like a scholar.

“I forgot to ask. Who are you?”

Lin Mengya was trying to be patient, while the man was quite disdainful of her. Lin Mengya was curious about his attitude, because they had never met each other before.

“I’m the deputy commander of the royal guards, Ye Shuanghe. Princess Yu, you may go back home now, but should you have anything to do with these hooligans, I hope you will cooperate with us in our investigation.”

That line sounded familiar to Lin Mengwu. The man could really have been a policeman in a gangster film if he had been born in modern society.

That was the classic line in almost all those films.

Lin Mengya also knew that he must have been sent here by someone.

The commander looked righteous, but Lin Mengwu knew he was being used by someone, probably out of personal interest.

Lin Mengya tidied herself. It seemed that she was not angry with Ye Shuanghe for what he said.

Ye Shuanghe was now sure that the beautiful woman was threatening in manner, but cowardly at heart.

Therefore, he did not know that the woman merely appeared calm. Her tone became severe again.

“Those hooligans came here to attack me. It is your responsibility to keep the Capital City safe. As the command of the royal guards, you did not check on those hooligans when you arrived, and instead, you are blaming us, the victims. What kind of guards are you? I’m sure my husband would be as curious about the answer as I am. I should send him to you and let him ask you the question himself.”

There was a light in Ye Shuanghe’s eyes. He did not seem as cocksure as he was earlier.

The deputy command had been informed by the commander of how eloquent the princess could be. He thought he had already taken the moral high ground, but the woman put him at a disadvantage with merely a few words.

“Forgive me for not being over concerned with your safety. I would feel ashamed if Prince Yu were to come and ask me this himself. I’ll let them escort you back home right now.”

He was trying to send her away because he failed to outspeak her.

Lin Mengya felt even more curious.

She did not want to leave, because it was obvious that those people in the room were sent here by Shangguan Qing and Lin Mengyu.

As for these royal guards, Lin Mengya knew they were sent here by the Crown Prince to save those hooligans.

If she left now, they would remove all the evidence.

“Hold on. I was scared, being the victim and eyewitness of this case. I’m also a doctor. I just checked on them and found that their injuries are quite serious. I hope you can deal with them for me and keep me updated. Keep them alive so I figure out why they were doing this. If you don’t have anyone who can heal their wounds, I can do the job. I don’t want them to die of hunger or cold in the prison, that way I’ll never be able to find out the truth.”

Lin Mengya was indicating something. Ye Shuanghui knew this was getting troublesome.

He was here not just for dealing with the situation; he was here to catch Lin Mengya on site.

He was assigned the mission, because of his high reputation among the royal guards.

Those hooligans failed to complete their task, but Lin Mengya would have to face the gossip if he let out what happened here.

Those high officials would never let a princess get involved in such a scandal.

As soon as he thought of that, as if she could read his mind, Lin Mengya said,

“I heard that the commander was the one who has promoted the development of the royal guards. He is a very strict leader. So I guess you would not talk about this thing on the streets, right? Or it would be so disappointing. If my husband hears about it, he would definitely visit you to learn some skills from you.”

She made this threat as if she already knew what Ye Shuanghe’s plan was.

Actually, she had already figured out the situation after all that had happened.

Rumors could kill. If they intentionally spread what happened here today. The consequences would be destructive.

She was not afraid of rumors because she had done nothing wrong, but the Capital City had already been turbulent, since the emperor became sick.

At this critical time, she did not want to trouble Long Tianyu.

Judging by Lin Mengya’s words, Ye Shuanghe knew that she had already seen through them. His face did not change, but inside, he was shocked.

He stopped looking down upon this woman, although she was borrowing her husband’s power.

Ye Shuenghe knew that Lin Mengya came from a powerful family.

“I understand. Those rumors will be refuted if you really had nothing to do with this. It’s better for you to be careful and prudent in the future. It’s already late. I’ll let them send you back.”

Lin Mengya was still hesitating. She looked at him, then she asked Baizhi and Steward Deng to take Ms. Tian and Tian Ning with them.

Tian Ning had already awakened.

His face looked pale. Ms. Tian was holding him as they walked slowly out of the room.

Ye Shuanghe blocked their way as soon as they were about to leave the yard.

“Hold on. The princess can leave by herself, but you two have to go with us. I’ll take you to the office of the royal guard.”

Ye Shuanghe was still not giving up. That was beyond Lin Mengya’s expectation.

He was trying to take Ms. Tian hostage, because he knew the old woman was Lin Mengya’s weak point.

Tian Ning surely knew what was happening. He even knew that they might get killed in there.

“I have to take them. We did not do anything wrong. If you need to interrogate them, we will be glad to help you. They are both too weak to be locked up in prison.”

Lin Mengya stood before Ms. Tian and her son, like a brave eagle defending her young.

Her cold eyes were staring at the man in front of her.

Ye Shuanghe looked at the two people behind Lin Mengya. He had been ordered to take the two back. He was not afraid, especially since there was only an old steward helping Lin Mengya.

Although Lin Mengya was the princess, she would not dare to do anything to him, as long as he could hold Ms. Tian hostage.

“Princess Yu, you are interfering with the royal guards’ work! The law of Dajin does not allow women to get involved in politics. You’re no exception!”

Ye Shuanghe felt he was done being polite to her. His men filled this yard, and he would do whatever it took to bring the two with him.

Lin Mengya sneered. The man was unable to outspeak her, so he was threatening her.

That was a typical crown-prince style of doing things, no better than bandits.

“She raised me up, and I take her son as my brother. I guarantee you that they’ve done nothing wrong. Why don’t you believe me? If Prince Yu is not prominent enough for you, how about the prince and the Lin family? Is that endorsement enough for you?”

Lin Mengya had to play this card.

Sometimes it worked better than swords, especially when she was faced with these unreasonable officials.

Nothing mattered more than ranks. Her background could prevent her from being hurt by others, including the Crown Prince’s underlings.

She had to protect Ms. Tian and her son, no matter how unreasonable she had to be.

“You don’t need to scare me by flaunting your background. No one can interfere with the royal guards’ work! I’ll have to offend you if you insist!”

As angry as Ye Shuanghe might be, he dared not do anything to Lin Mengya.

He did not care for those humble people, even if they died.

He feared Lin Mengya because should anything happen to her, all the royal guards would have to bear Prince Yu’s fury.

One wanted to take the two people away, while the other wanted to arrest them.

The situation seemed to be at a deadlock. Even those groaning hooligans were complaining.

Ye Shuanghe lost the argument to Lin Mengya, but he could still act on those hooligans.

These people were already injured. The guards were treating them so roughly that they were screaming in pain.

When the two of them were at a stalemate, something seemed to be happening outside in the valley.

Lin Mengya ignored the noise, which bothered Ye Shuanghe a lot. He was worried because whoever it was, the situation would only get worse for him.

“What’s this about?”

The low voice sounded very attractive. Everyone heard it clearly.

Lin Mengya was surprised. She traced the voice and found a man in black. She felt overjoyed.

“Brother! It’s you! Why are you here?”

Lin Nansheng was in dark light armor because he was just back in the Capital City from the border. He had not even been home yet.

His handsome face looked tired, but his bright eyes were radiant.

He was different from those guards who had been in the Capital City forever. Those people were only in charge of the security of the city.

Lin Nansheng had been fighting on the battlefield with his father since he was a teenager.

He grew up in a place where blood flowed and dead bodies piled up. He gave off an overwhelming aura. One single glance from him was all it took to scare away those royal guards.
