Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 305 Accidental Discoveries

“They should feel anxious, not me. One day, they will beg me to check it.”

Lin Mengya saw through them and figured that they were trying to make it hard on her.

Unfortunately, Lin Mengya was not a pushover. Sooner or later, all of them would realize how stupid they were to stop her.

“Alright, but Master, why do these people in the palace behave so impolitely? The servants in our house are much better than them. Look at them. All of them bluff arrogantly and swagger before you.”

Whenever she mentioned it, Baisu would become furious. Back in their house, whoever met Lin Mengya would behave respectfully. However, before anything happened, those people in the palace had come to insult Lin Mengya one by one.

Lin Mengya could hold her temper, while Baisu was different.

“It’s common in the palace. Outside the palace, I’m the honorable Princess Yu, but in the palace, anyone we meet is either Lady of Handsome Fairness or Lady of Compete Countenance at least. Of course, we can’t have the same treatment as before. Let’s forget what happened today. Don’t be rush. I understand that you’re protecting me. But lots of honorable figures are hidden in the palace. Who will we meet tomorrow? Who knows?”

In fact, Lin Mengya had already prepared mentally for this.

However, the continuous encounters, did provoke her anger.

Those were precisely the consequences of the Empress taking control over the harem after the Emperor’s illness. The Emperor and the Crown Prince should promote them to make it hard on her.

In order to survive in the palace, Lin Mengya had to endure more of such grievances in the future.

However, staying in the palace was indeed helpful to her.

Doctors did take precautions against her checking the Emperor’s case file, but they did not stop her from reading medical classics or studying ordinary or valuable herbs. Lin Mengya could study all kinds of prescriptions in her free time.

Qiu Yu would pretend to be unfamiliar with Lin Mengya back at the Court of Imperial Physicians every time. Thus, Lin Mengya had decided to echo his superficial unfamiliarity.

In others’ presence, both of them kept a distance from each other like strangers. But whenever others could not see, they could easily understand each other by a wink or a smile.

Suddenly, Lin Mengya had an epiphany—they were fooling those doctors around.

Qiu Yu did have his own reason to act like that. Lin Mengya only found him more interesting.

In others’ eyes, Lin Mengya seemed like a quiet, honest princess, who read medical books or studied medicine in her room.

Besides, her scary maid was guarding at the door against those disgusting flies or spies.

Truth be told, Lin Mengya kept watching everything around her through the books.

She had already met two of the four great doctors of the Court of Imperial Physicians. Thus, she believed that Su Tong was too sophisticated to take action personally so easily.

All in all, she had to make greater efforts to see the Emperor.

After reading for a while, Lin Mengya got tired. She and Baisu headed out to walk around a small garden in the Court of Imperial Physicians. Lots of herbs planted were planted in the garden due to those doctors’ management.

The analysis model of Shen Nung had been activated by accident. Then, a tremendous amount of data flashed in her head, like printing.

Those fresh herbs had a better effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. Lin Mengya wandered around and then stopped in front of a small artificial stream.

What’s this?

Lin Mengya scanned those herbs and noticed an unimpressive herb in a corner.

It’s strange to mix this herb with other herbs. Did the doctors do it out of negligence by accident?

“Your Highness? Your Highness?”

Lin Mengya came to her senses and saw an immature face.

He was a teenager at Xiaoyu’s age, with a shy smile. He greeted her overcautiously.

“Oh, sorry. I lost myself in my thoughts. Well, who are you?”

He looked unimpressive in the white apprentice’s attire.

Noticing Lin Mengya’s gaze focused on him, he blushed and lowered his head.

“My name is Xiaofeng, an apprentice in the Court of Imperial Physicians. Last night, Minister Su told me to serve you because he was afraid that you might feel inconvenient here.”

He was sent by Su Tong? Lin Mengya looked the boy before her from head to toe in a casual way and found him less sophisticated. However, Su Tong must have a reason to send him there.

“I’m thankful for the Minister’s consideration. Xiaofeng, right? The stream looks very clear, so I think there must be a source. But why aren’t there some fancy carps for people to watch?”

Lin Mengya unconcernedly pointed at the stream.

Xiaofeng scratched his head and answered, “I don’t know the reason either. Some fish had been placed into the stream before, but they all died. Probably we are too careless to take care of them.”

Lin Mengya just smiled at Xiaofeng’s response. After looking at the stream several times, she returned to her room with Baisu.

I’m probably right. That thing must influence its surroundings.

“Baisu, come to get dregs of His Majesty’s decoction. I don’t believe that they will make it difficult for you on that.”

The Emperor’s decoction was the most important thing, and after inspection, it would be dried and sealed.

Lin Mengya just needed to check it to see what was going on.

Baisu got on it immediately. Perhaps because Vice Minister Cui had ended up in a tragic state, nobody in the Court of Imperial Physicians would like to stop Baisu.

According to Baisu, the doctor in charge of giving medicine, started to tremble when seeing her. Therefore, Baisu spent no effort to get the stored dregs.

Lin Mengya did not expect to get it so easily.

The doctors had gotten used to secret plots but immediately submitted to Baisu, who had conquered them with force.

After carefully examining the dregs and an analysis of Shen Nung, Lin Mengya did get what she wanted.

She looked out through the window to the yard. There was a kind of special medicine among the Emperor’s decoction. It needed to be fresh and was planted the most in the garden.

It was called Yin Man, difficult to plant. Even though it had been planted successfully, it could be used as medicine after three years. Moreover, this medicine has a very gentle nourishing effect on the human body.

There should be traces in the tonic medicine that the Emperor usually took.

Yin Man itself was non-toxic, and long-term use was not harmful to the human body. However, a herb called Duotian Root was where Yin Man was planted.

What Lin Mengya had spotted in the corner was exactly that.

She had also seen it in Baili Rui’s stone room. He had told her that it was not very toxic, but its roots could contaminate the soil.

That was to say, the Duotian Root had already contaminated all herbs in the garden.

It was rare, and there were few in Dajin. Imperial doctors learned from medical books meant for treating people. Thus, it was reasonable that they had no idea about this kind of knowledge, which they called dishonest practices.

Lin Mengya was certain that there must be a close relevance between the Emperor’s serious illness and the poison.

The poisoner must be a prudent person to poison in such a delicate way.

Toxins that had been accumulated for years were enough to completely destroy the human body’s functions. Naturally, in ancient times, where a precise test could not be conducted, the accumulation of toxins would be diagnosed as a kind of disease.

Due to the Duotian Root, those fancy carps had died in the stream. But its toxin was subtle and would be diluted in the stream. Therefore, no one could find the anomaly.

That was also why Lin Mengya had asked Xiaofeng that question.

Imperial doctors must know nothing about it. Otherwise, they would not have tried to put fish into the stream.

Consequently, there must be a spy in the Court of Imperial Physicians to have planted the Duotian Root there without arousing anyone’s attention.

It could be anyone. Lin Mengya tried to study those busy doctors outside again.

Who is the chief culprit?

If she failed to find out his identity, the spy would ruin her meeting with the Emperor.

After pondering on it for a while, Lin Mengya realized that she had to investigate after all the doctors returned to the Court of Imperial Physicians.

And as for the Duotian Root, she had to find a way to totally remove it without alerting the spy. It seemed that she had to become a hardworking gardener.

After studying dregs, Lin Mengya pretended to carry on. Shen Nung became more pronounced for its advantages and succeeded in telling her about the proportion of the Emperor’s decoction very soon.

Lin Mengya always doubted the moral qualities of those doctors in the Court of Imperial Physicians. But she must admit that there was a huge gap between her and their capability, like Great Rift Valley. She did not understand until now why Baili Rui had refused her proposal to enter the palace.

Without Shen Nung, she would not be able to defeat those senior NPCs.

“Baisu, I’m tired today. Let’s get back.”

Lin Mengya was suddenly full of energy. Seeing that, Baisu realized that it was not a good place to discuss something private here.

Baisu nodded, and along with Lin Mengya, they kept their heads high and got out of the Court of Imperial Physicians.

Those doctors, who had been overwhelmed by Baisu’s force for a whole day, finally felt relieved. Doctor Cui, who was still unconscious, was a frightening example!

Lin Mengya seemed to have known her goal and not be in confusion. Perhaps because of that, Lin Mengya did not stop until she ate two bowls of rice with some insipid fried dishes for her dinner.

Even Baisu was surprised. She opened her eyes wide, thinking that her master was a refugee from a disaster-stricken area. Pearl and Agate had gotten used to the elegant way of eating and had never seen such an inelegant eating style.

After Lin Mengya finished her meal, both of them highly doubted Princess Yu, who was an elegant lady in the morning and a different person at night.

Lin Mengya’s competitive fire burned intensely. She did not care about what they were thinking of. After wiping her mouth clean, she went out for a walk with Baisu.
