"Oh, teacher, what do you want the jade box for? For nest eggs?" Lin Mengya gradually reached a conclusion from her contacts with Baili Rui: that fuddy-duddy needed to be treated with unusual means. Especially that daring way, making no difference between the old man and her, got them much closer. Baili Rui rolled his eyes at Lin Mengya. Although she seemed to not respect him, Lin Mengya was really a genius in poisoning. She was even more talented than his senior brother known as the God of Poison. He had been a loser when competing with his senior. If his student defeated his senior, his long-cherished wish would be fulfilled. "It is Dragon Soul Grass. I've checked it. This woman may be able to survive, but she is still too weak in health. If I really bring her back to life through poisoning, her body may be not bear it. But Dragon Soul Grass is different. It's said that it has an effe

The lady seemed to be in her thirties. She was buxom with a beautiful appearance. That lady was a down-to-earth type of woman, quite different from the usual ladies with a title. But, she, wearing a luxury robe, looked arrogant. Lin Mengya guessed that, the lady must be someone's vice princess. Even she was the first princess; she must come from a common family. "Isn't it the Duchess Qinan? She just managed to become the wife of Duke Qinan. How dare she show no respect to Concubine De. How mean she is." Another harsh voice came. Lin Mengya slightly turned her eyes to another lady. That lady was noble, but there was some unkind intent in her eyes. Besides, she must come from a noble family, as she was so outspoken. Indeed, the lady, who was referred to as the wife of Duke Qinan, fell speechless when hearing that unkind lady's words.

Lin Mengya stubbornly pursed her lips, refusing to speak a word. So enraged was Concubine De that she almost smashed the teacup in her hands if Princess Lingnan did not snatch the teacup from her in time. "Please calm down, Your Highness. Princess Yu is after all still young. Just teach her a lesson if she's made a mistake, lest your health is affected. It was just too bad Hui'er had to suffer." Princess Lingnan might sound as if she was trying to console Concubine De, but in fact, she was obviously trying to stir up Concubine De's emotions. True enough, Concubine De got angrier. She pointed a trembling finger at Lin Mengya in turning rage. "Get down on your knees!" Concubine De bellowed with rage and the people around broke out in cold sweat in fear for Princess Yu. Lin Mengya got down on her knees reluctantly but still refused to admit that it was her mistake.

"Water? There's some water outside; go to find it. As long as you're able to crawl to the body of water." The look in Lin Mengya's eyes was devoid of all emotions. Lin Mengya could not even bother to look at Ming Yue, who was paralyzed on the floor. "Ah! It's so itchy! It'll be better if you kill me, kill me!" Ming Yue shouted in delirium as she rolled on the floor, but it did not help with relieving the itch at all. "Master, are you not worried that someone would come to her rescue?" They exited from the side chamber and it was pitch dark outside. "No one will come. They had wanted us dead, so they would have made sure that all the guards and servants had been deployed from here. Look, there isn't a single soul here. Who would find her?" It was only now that Lin Mengya realized that this part of the Chun'en Hall's side chamber was unusually secluded and quiet.

"Your Highness?" It was none other than Long Tianyu. Lin Mengya immediately made space for Long Tianyu. "Let's go home." Long Tianyu, sitting across from Lin Mengya, said flatly. Baisu conscientiously exited from the horse carriage and sat alongside the coachman. Therefore, Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya were left alone in the horse carriage. The horse carriage rocked as it traveled down the long street until they were out of the boundaries of the palace. As the effect of the painkiller subsided, Lin Mengya started to feel the shooting pain from both her hands and her breathing quickened. The numbing effect of her caused by Baisu sealing up her acupuncture point was beginning to subside. Lin Mengya could sense that the wound on her hands was oozing blood. Long Tianyu, through his sharp sense of smell, could smell blood mingled with med
