Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 125 Completely Fool Them

Vice Princess Dugu ordered some men to splash cold water onto the girls.

"Splash!" The bodies of the three girls trembled with cold.

The effect of the drug was wearing off and the three girls’ eyes gradually came back to life.

"Who exactly are you?"

The Crown Prince asked, looking down at the girls from his seat.

However, those three girls stared at him blankly and even started to giggle.

"What’s happening?"

What happened was completely out of the Crown Prince’s expectations. He could only stare at these women behaving as if they were out of their mind.

"Ah bah--- ah bah ah bah---"

The girls opened their mouths to speak but the sounds they made were not intelligible. They continued giggling, crawling on the floor, and even started drooling.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, this... this is..."

Vice Princess Dugu was a little taken aback. She was puzzled as to how these women became berserk.

"Don’t you dare try to be funny in front of the Crown Prince!"

Bellowed the Crown Prince, enraged. However, the three girls seemed unshaken but continued drooling and creeping all over the floor.

"Your Highness, they appear to be totally out of their minds!"

Lord Zhang wiped away his cold sweat on his forehead because the Crown Prince was obviously in a foul mood now.

"Out of their minds? Men, send for the imperial physician."

The Crown Prince was furious. He had through much effort managed to find these girls who were supposedly in Long Tianhao’s hands. How outrageous for them to be out of their minds.

Even if they were insane, he thought, he had to force some useful information out of their mouth somehow.

The imperial physician from the Crown Prince’s mansion hurried over to check on the three women. When he was done, he replied to Crown Prince with an uneasy expression on his face.

He said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, they had all gone crazy and been poisoned such that they’ve lost their voice."

With a "bang!", the Crown Prince slammed his fist hard onto the table next to him.

The impact was so great that cracks appeared at the edges and corners of the table.

His once handsome face was now twisted due to his intense fury.

"What did you say? Is there no medication that can make them well again?"

After hesitating for a moment, the imperial physician nodded helplessly.

These three girls were utterly out of their mind. The physician could tell that they would not be able to live long judging from the silver needle he used on them a moment ago, not to mention a full recovery which was impossible.

"Useless things! A bunch of useless things!"

The Crown Prince had totally lost it. He wondered why the people working for him were all a bunch of useless fellows, who either could not succeed in the tasks entrusted to them or they upset his plans.

"Please calm down, Your Highness. There’s something which I hesitate to tell you."

Vice Princess Dugu gave the imperial physician an indicative look and immediately, the physician took his medical kit and excused himself.

"Just say it."

The Crown Prince scanned vice Princess Dugu’s face with a cold look, which made her cringe for a moment. Then she gathered her courage and said with a determined voice, "Although these three people are useless now, you will be destroying Prince Yu’s escape route if you kill these women. As days pass, Long Tianhao would have to eventually give us an account if he were unable to hand over the so-called criminal, by then---"

At vice Princess Dugu’s words, the frown on the Crown Prince’s face eased.

That made sense. By then, he could make use of this to corner Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao, so much so that they would not be able to shirk the responsibility.

"What you said is right. No wonder you are my beloved wife who understands me the most."

He reached out his big hand and pulled the beauty into his arms.

A scheming look flashed across his eyes as if he were saying, well done.

"I’ll hand these three over to you, Lord Zhang."

Lord Zhang bowed and excused himself at once. On the way out, he got a few guards to help him drag the three useless things along with him.

Before the pleased look on the Crown Prince’s face subsided, it became noisy again outside the tent.

"What is going on that’s making so much noise? Don’t they know that I enjoy peace and quiet?"

Frowning slightly, the Crown Prince let go of vice Princess from his arms as he gazed at the young eunuch who had dashed into the tent all flustered.

"Your Highness, King Ming of the western vassal state asked to see you. He heard that the Crown Prince had found two killers who were involved in injuring his second prince."

"What? I have just instructed Lord Zhang to execute the three girls who have gone insane, how did King Ming hear about it and have come to me now?"

"Follow me. I’ll have a look."

Vice Princess Dugu nodded as she trailed behind the Crown Prince as they exited the tent.

Lord Zhang, who had set out searching for a secluded place to execute the girls in secret, had his way obstructed at this moment.

A group of men led by King Ming, who was dressed in plain colors and accompanied by Hu Tianbei, were obstructing the entrance of the Crown Prince’s tent.

As opposed to looking composed and unperturbed the night before when they were in the presence of Lin Mengya, King Ming and Hu Tianbei appeared upset and angry at this moment.

"May I know the reason for your visit, King Ming and Prince Hu?"

Caught unprepared, Lord Zhang could not avoid them in time, but had to walk up to them, cupped his hands and bowed in greeting.

"We heard that the Crown Prince had captured the culprits who injured my son. Is that so?"

At King Ming’s inquiry, Lord Zhang began dripping cold sweat.

Given the three girls were right there behind them, what would he do if he were to deny and be exposed there and then?

"This matter---"

"Those three girls are the ones! King Ming, Prince Hu, these three girls were the dancers who were with Second Prince that night."

Someone from among the men led by King Ming pointed out the real identities of the three girls in disguise.

Both King Ming and Hu Tianbei’s faces fell. Just a while ago, Long Tianhao had personally paid them a visit to their tent to inform them that the three female dancers were the culprits who assassinated Hu Lunan.

For this reason, they had come here to ask for these perpetrators.

"This... this..."

Never would Lord Zhang expect this to happen and in desperation, he was befuddled.

"Forgive us for delaying coming forward to welcome you, King Ming."

Finally, the Crown Prince emerged from the tent and witnessed the situation at hand.

Although he had no idea why King Ming had visited at this juncture, the Crown Prince was aware that it was not a good sign that the identities of the three girls were exposed.

"There is no need for an explanation from the Crown Prince. Prince Yu had informed me earlier that these three girls disguised as dancers were the ones who murdered my son. Since the Crown Prince managed to capture them, how about handing them over to me?"

So it was Long Tianhao again! From within the Crown Prince’s heart, a feeling of hatred towards Long Tianhao arose.

Nevertheless, he forced an agreeable look on his face.

"You are right, King Ming. I was about to bring these three girls to hand them over to you. Lord Zhang, hand the girls over to King Ming."

He had wasted so much effort to finally get hold of these three girls. Little did he expect that King Ming would intercept him halfway.

The Crown Prince could hardly come to terms with what was happening. Long Tiaohao and Lin Mengya had managed to get away once again.

These three girls, however, had gone mad and could not speak. Since it was not possible to interrogate them, he still stood a chance to turn the table around.

Lord Zhang had no other choice but to obey the instructions given by the Crown Prince. He ordered men to hand the three girls over to King Ming.

However, who would have expected that the men who took the orders came back all jittery.

They whispered something into Lord Zhang’s ear and his face turned pale instantly.

"What? Weren’t you the one overseeing the detainment of the girls?"

At this moment, the Crown Prince shot a displeased look at Lord Zhang, thinking if he even needed to handle such a small matter.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the three criminals had been executed!"

"What?!"

At this instant, Lin Mengya was playing with the baby wolf and baby tiger in Prince Yu’s tent.

"Things are getting really interesting at the Crown Prince’s tent! While King Ming had gone over there in truculence, he’ll only be able to see the corpses of the assassins."

Baizhi narrated what she witnessed in secret a moment ago to Lin Mengya.

At this time, there were only Lin Mengya’s four maidservants by her, while Lin Zhongyu was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh really?"

The two baby animals were drinking warm goat’s milk happily from a bowl in Lin Mengya’s hands.

They were growing so fast that they looked different every day. The only thing that did not change was how they both loved staying close to Lin Mengya as if she were their mother.

"Indeed! Just before I sneaked off, King Ming was in full rage and demanding the Crown Prince to give him an account of what happened!"

All attention was drawn towards the Crown Prince at this moment.

No one would have expected Prince Yu to announce the identity of the assassins publicly first. He had in fact laid down a trap with Hu Tianbei earlier on, for the Crown Prince to be ensnared in it.

All the people in the campground seemed to know who the assassins were by now. The only one kept in the dark was the Crown Prince.

Moreover, the Crown Prince’s men had "coincidentally" executed the three girls who had gone crazy.

Everything had gone seamlessly as planned.

"Oh yes, where is Prince Yu at this moment?"

Lin Mengya asked, delighted, while she stroked Snow and the baby tiger.

"This--- I didn’t see him anywhere."

Baizhi bowed her head, looking a little guilty. However, Lin Mengya’s attention was on the two baby animals so much so that she did not realize that Baizhi was acting a little strange.

"Master, I’ve made some milk cookies. I’ll bring them to you to have a taste of them."

Baiji suggested after pondering over Baizhi’s strange behavior, which failed to escape Baiji’s observant eye.

Lin Mengya nodded in response. She was aware of Baiji’s fantastic culinary skills. Moreover, she would be going out to enjoy some entertainment later. She knew better to fill up her stomach before that.

"Come over too, Baizhi. Have a look at which of these cookies you think our mistress will like."

The moment Baizhi heard that there was food, her eyes lit up and all other thoughts disappeared.

She eagerly followed Baiji into the little kitchen set up especially for Princess Yu.

The moment they entered the tent, Baiji let down the curtain and looked around to make sure that there were no one around, and then she took out the freshly made cookies and placed them before Baizhi.

"Wah! Is this the cookies you made, Elder Sister Baiji? They look great!"

Baizhi flattered as she grabbed one and popped it into her mouth quickly. Immediately, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

"Look at you! Tell me what happened to Prince Yu after you’re done with eating. Why are you even keeping something from us?"

Baiji patted Baizhi’s forehead with her finger when Baizhi’s face fell.

"What should I do? I saw Princess Ming Yue pestering Prince Yu, telling him that she would ask King Ming to make her Prince Yu’s vice Princess."

Neither had the second daughter of the Lins or Cousin Jiang dared to ask to be Prince Yu’s vice Princess when they visit Prince Yu’s Mansion.
