Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 580 What Happened Before

It was late at night, and it was a rare opportunity for them to camp in the wild.

They did that in order to throw off the spies. Information went out fast in populated places.

Therefore, they had to take a route along which there were few inhabitants.

Although it was in late spring, it was still a little cold at night.

They lit a fire at the campsite. Lin Mengya had Long Tianyu’s cloak draped over her shoulders, and her white face looked differently delicate against the warm light of the fire.

“Stop staying outside and go back to sleep.”

Long Tianyu poured a cup of hot water from the stove and put it in Lin Mengya’s hand.

This time, they were well-prepared, so they got everything they needed even in the wild.

“It’s okay. I’ve slept for a whole day, so I’m not sleepy now. However, Xiu is not used to traveling in such a shaking carriage. She probably has fallen asleep now.”

Baili Rui and Xiu both slept in the carriage, while the rest of them slept in the simple tents they set up beside the carriage.

It was very quiet in the forest, so Lin Mengya didn’t have to worry about being ambushed.

She had not felt so peaceful for a long time.

“Well, you’ve been tired along the way. But the condition in Yunzhou is more difficult than that here. You have to get through a hard time.”

As Long Tianyu said apologetically, he gently held her into his arms.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m not here to enjoy life anyway. By the way, in Yunzhou, there are some places where I can go while you can’t. Don’t worry about me. My master has spent a lot of effort treating me, so this kind of poison can’t do any harm to me. I have an intuition that they will do harm to you.”

Baili Rui had indeed said that.

But he only said that Lin Mengya had a very special constitution, so ordinary poisons could not work in her body.

Only she knew that when she came here through time traveled, the poison deep-rooted in her body had mutated accidentally.

An ordinary person would have been dead a long time ago with such a poison in her body.

However, she was still alive and kicking. Even she couldn’t explain why.

Therefore, those poisons less potent than the poison in her body could do no harm to her.

However, she did not know how long she could hold on by fighting poison with poison.

“No, I can’t let you take the risk alone. By the way, I’m wondering if Mr. Baili has developed the antidote.”

Obviously, Long Tianyu didn’t want to continue talking about this.

Lin Mengya looked gentle and agreeable, but she was actually more steadfast than anyone else.

His constant opposition would arouse Lin Mengya’s rebellion.

After such a long time, Long Tianyu had gradually known about her character.

Lin Mengya sighed in her heart but had made up her mind at the same time.

“It actually has something to do with the teacher. However, the teacher still needs some time. I think after we get there, we should go with the teacher to see the patients who have been cured. The teacher also thinks that the doctor is probably not simple.”

This was exactly what Long Tianyu was thinking.

He nodded, and the two of them exchanged a few more words before Lin Mengya got up and walked towards the carriage.

“Thank you, Mengya.”

In the dim light, Xiao Yixin’s face was full of sincere gratitude.

Lin Mengya smiled and subconsciously glanced at Long Tianyu, who was standing by the fire and giving instructions to the others.

She was wondering what the guy had told Xiao Yixin so that Xiao Yixin showed such great gratitude towards her.

“Don’t mention it. In any case, you and my brother have been friends since childhood. Besides, the Xiao family is worth my help.”

She was so straightforward again that Xiao Yixin involuntarily smiled bitterly in his heart.

That was the way the members of the Lin family had always been. They would never hide their true intentions because of anything.

However, the more straightforward Lin Mengya was, the more he felt ashamed of himself.

After all, he didn’t deserve her.

“I... I know that. But I want to tell you something.”

Lin Mengya turned around and looked at Xiao Yixin in confusion.

Xiao Yixin looked at her seriously. What would it be?

“In fact, there was a secret behind the death of Aunt Lin. They all said that she died because she was deficient in vital energy and blood after exhausting her strength. However, my mother and Aunt Lin were very close friends. Before her delivery, she once told my mother that someone intended to hurt her.”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yixin.

She had never heard of this before.

“But since Aunt Xiao knows it, why didn’t she mention it to my father?”

When Lin Mengya spoke of this, Xiao Yixin showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

“Do you still remember that just a few months after Aunt Lin’s death, the Empress forced Uncle Lin to marry his current wife? However, on the night before Uncle Lin’s wedding, my mother was summoned to the imperial palace by the Empress. My mother had never mentioned anything about it since then.”

So that explained it!

Lin Mengya stood there while sorting out the useful information in her mind.

“In that case, how did you learn it?”

“At that time, Nansheng and I were children, so we often played together. When Aunt Lin talked with my mother, I happened to be hiding in the room, so I heard these words. I used to think that I got it wrong. However, during the period when I stayed in the prince’s mansion, someone from Lin’s Mansion once came to bring you something. I accidentally took a look and recognized that it was the old maid who took care of Aunt Lin at that time. Moreover, I saw Aunt Lin secretly pour the miscarriage prevention medicine served by her. Later, I inquired about it and found out that this old maid turned out to be Madame Lin’s close servant now.”

What? Her mother’s death had something to do with Shangguan Qing!

Lin Mengya froze for a moment, and countless pieces of information gathered in her mind.

“Thank you. I should think about it. Also, don’t mention it to anyone.”

Xiao Yixin naturally knew it. He nodded and walked back to his carriage.

Lin Mengya, who was a little confused, climbed into the carriage and sat on her seat.

If what Xiao Yixin said was true, the Empress and Shangguan Qing plotted to kill her mother.

However, how could her mother, who was smart with high medical skills, be killed by them by such means?

The only explanation was that her mother had some scruples at that time so that she could not fight back.

However, she mentioned it to her good friend, Xiao Yixin’s mother. Why did she do that?

Even if the Empress intended to kill her so that the Empress’s younger sister could marry into the Lin family, she would not be killed.

...

What exactly had happened back then?

Lin Mengya gradually formed horrible speculation. No, she hoped that it would not be the truth!

After thinking confusedly for a whole night, Lin Mengya managed to calm herself down.

Xiao Yixin probably wanted to remind her. After all, he was just an onlooker rather than getting involved in it, so he might not know the whole story.

She decided to visit Aunt Xiao after handling the business and returning to the Capital City.

If her mother was really killed by the Empress and Shangguan Qing, she would definitely make them pay for it with their lives!

Xiao Yixin was a man of his word. For the time being, she didn’t want Long Tianyu to know it.

The plague had caused him a lot of trouble. If she brought it up at this time, she would definitely put him in a more difficult situation.

Nevertheless, she could ask Yunzhu and the others to investigate it secretly.

After a night’s rest, Xiu regained her energy.

Early in the morning, she stayed by Lin Mengya’s side and told her all kinds of jokes.

This girl was so sweet. Knowing that Lin Mengya was in a bad mood, she tried her best to amuse her.

“Well, you don’t have to try so hard to tell me jokes. I’m just not used to traveling for a long time. By the way, you should listen to me, because we are going to carry out a dangerous mission. Do you get it?”

Xiu nodded hurriedly, but the next moment, she mysteriously whispered in Lin Mengya’s ear.

“Sister Mengya, I seem to have smelled the mustard seeds from someone in our team. This kind of thing can only be found on those who raise venomous insects in the south of Lieyun.”

Lin Mengya looked at Xiu, who showed a disdainful look, and wondered why Xiu had a nose even more sensitive than hers.

“Mustard seeds. What are they used for? Are they poisonous?”

Xiu shook her head and continued whispering in Lin Mengya’s ear.

“No. They are used to control venomous insects. However, they are usually used to control very fierce venomous insects. Those who go there for some business must take the mustard seeds with them just in case. Even my uncle rarely goes there. I heard that the members of their tribe like to eat children’s flesh! They are all bad guys!”

After hearing Xiu’s words, Lin Mengya understood what she meant.

Could it be that the spies sent by their enemies had infiltrated their team?

That was impossible. This time, the entourage was personally selected by Long Tianyu, so they should be absolutely loyal to him.

If there were still some spies among them, Long Tianyu might have a terrible perception.

“Could it be that you’ve made a mistake? Also, have you noticed it since you set out?”

Xiu shook her head and thought for a while.

After that, she seemed to have realized something and replied.

“No. I seem to... seem to have smelled it since you joined us. The mustard seeds have a very faint smell, so ordinary people can’t notice them. But because the members of our Dongfang family have soaked our nose in a kind of medicinal liquid, we are particularly sensitive to this smell.”

So that explained it. That was to say, someone infiltrated their team after they joined.

But when they joined, their entourage was the same, and they just changed their horses and carriages.

Could it be that the spies were among the people they brought?

” I’m going to ask Long Tianyu about it. By the way, you said that this thing can control venomous insects. In this case, can they control a kind of venomous insect named the Venomous Armored Insect?”
