Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 151 A Striking Gossip

Lin Mengya’s mouth formed into the shape of an ’O’. She stared at Baisu, who inserted the iron needle back into the ring, and put it back on her finger.

"I... I picked up this skill, by accident."

Baisu smiled sheepishly. She was not used to getting admiring looks from Lin Mengya.

"You have to teach me that skill later, okay?"

No one would know the reason why Lin Mengya coming from an eminent family, showed an interest in learning how to pick a lock.

However, this was not the right time to talk about it.

"Master—We have something more important to deal with now."

After Baisu’s reminder, Lin Mengya realized that there was something else she had to do.

Lin Mengya and Baisu went cautiously into the room, after they opened the door.

By the slight light of the moon, Lin Mengya saw clearly who the man on the bed, was. "Why is he here?"

Halfway through the banquet, the Crown Prince and Concubine Dugu were talking and mingling with their guests.

A woman, dressed like a maid, ran into the hall.

"Something is wrong! Your Highness, Your Highness, something has gone wrong!"

With the appearance of the maid, it seemed as if the Crown Prince and the vice Princess Dugu, had been waiting for the show to commence, as could be seen from their eyes.

"Hey, the Crown Prince is still here. Get a hold of yourself."

As the hostess, the vice Princess Dugu stood up immediately, to reprimand the woman.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I was just very anxious. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The maid, who was shivering with fright, knelt in the hall, closed her lips tightly, and stopped talking.

"Please calm down. I believe she must have something to say. Come here."

The servant sitting by the vice Princess Dugu’s side, called the maid over, in a friendly tone.

The maid flushed, came nearer and whispered something into the servant’s ear.

"Are you sure? You will be put to death if you are lying!"

The maid nodded vigorously, looking at her with anxious eyes.

The servant then lowered her voice and said something into the vice Princess Dugu’s ear.

"How could it be! I never expected such a thing to happen. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The vice Princess Dugu immediately knelt and gazed at the Crown Prince, with reverence and awe.

The Crown Prince, who knew what had happened, pretended to be shocked. He held his vice wife up, and asked,

"What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?"

The vice Princess Dugu burst into tears, and replied in a weak tone,

"It’s all my fault. Please don’t blame the Prince and the Princess, for my sake."

The Crown Prince’s eyes bulged and everyone pricked up their ears, at the moment.

Long Tianyu was the only prince in the hall.

Long Tianyu and Princess Ming Yue had disappeared. Did they—

"How dare they! What did they take my mansion for?"

The Crown Prince pounded on the table, and the whole hall fell silent, instantly.

The Crown Prince was irritated. The vice Princess Dugu and a group of guests followed him to the guest room, in the backyard.

A joyful, sensuous voice of a woman could be heard from the room, even before they entered.

The Crown Prince exchanged a glance with the vice Princess Dugu, to cover the gloating look in his eyes, while his face turned deathly pale.

"Your Highness, Mistress, the Crown Prince is here. You should get up."

An alert eunuch had already knocked on the door.

Unexpectedly, the joyous sounds from inside the room, became louder.

"What’s wrong with you? Have you forgotten how to feel shame?"

A sneer appeared at the edge of the Crown Prince’s lips.

He kicked the door open. Lanterns carried by maids lit up the dark room.

Clothes were strewn messily all over the place, on the floor, the table and chairs.

Although they did not pull apart the curtain on the bed, the shaking sounds from the bed, left little to the people’s imagination.

Some young married women and Misses, who were bashful, flushed and left the room immediately.

Some of the more experienced guests were waiting for the Crown Prince to denounce the shameless couple on the bed.

Heavy whoops were followed by such a high pitched, seductive scream, that everyone blushed and their hearts beat faster.

Using this chance, the vice Princess Dugu pulled back the curtain, so that the shameless couple couldn’t escape being discovered.

However, she could not help screaming in astonishment, when she saw the woman’s face, inside.

"Why are you here?"

She immediately pulled the curtain back. Her face was distorted with anger.

The Crown Prince did not know the difference. He thought it was part of the vice Princess Dugu’s on-the-spot performance.

"Alright, don’t cover for them. Third brother, I’ve told you that I will beg mother for your marriage, if you really like her. Since it has already happened, what should I do to complete it?"

The Crown Prince seemed to be filled with sorrow. He had planned to expose the shameless couple, Long Tianyu and Princess Ming Yue.

However, he failed to notice the desperate signals from the vice Princess Dugu, who was still holding on tightly to the curtain.

"Your Highness, the prince was just a little drunk. It has nothing to do with Princess Ming Yue, okay?"

No one expected to hear such a gentle, clear voice.

Lin Mengya, the Princess Yu, was walking toward them, with her maid carrying a lantern, under the moonlight.

The Crown Prince sighed, but suddenly his eyes bulged, upon seeing the person walking behind Lin Mengya.

"Ya’er is right. I am just a little drunk. I did not expect that Your Highness and the vice Princess would be worrying about me."

The tall handsome man with a cold, expressionless face,

looked well matched with the tender woman, who had a slight smile on her face.

The situation took an unexpected turn. No one expected that the man who was the main topic of gossip, who should have been on the bed, was now walking in from the outside, into the room, fully clothed.

"Haven’t you—"

The Crown Prince muttered to himself. They had planned to catch Long Tianyu and Ming Yue in front of all guests, in the act of having sex.

Then, Long Tianyu would have no choice, but to agree to marry Princess Ming Yue.

However, Long Tianyu was standing there, immaculately clothed. Then, who could the man on the bed be?

"Ah! Isn’t that the matchmaker’s pendant belonging to Mistress An, in the Crown Prince’s Mansion?"

Lin Mengya suddenly made a remark. She picked up a good quality, suet-colored white jade, which was lying on the ground, amidst the mess.

When he saw the matchmaker’s pendant, the Crown Prince instantly had an awkward expression on his face.

He remembered that he had given it to Mistress An, when she came to his mansion.

Could it be that the shameless couple on the bed were—

"As far as I know, Mistress An is a stranger to Princess Yu. How do you know it is hers. You must be mistaken"

At this moment, the vice Princess Dugu knew already. But there would be a great commotion if everyone recognized who the couple on the bed, really were.

She gritted her teeth and resorted to sophistry.

However, Lin Mengya lifted up the hair by her ear, and calmly replied,

"My maid went to the kitchen to get the Yulu soup just now. She came across a person in the yard. When I arrived, she called herself Mistress An. I was not convinced that it was her, until she took out the matchmaker pendant. I thought that no ordinary person would likely have such a precious thing. Therefore, I remember the shape of the pendant very well."

The Crown Prince and the vice Princess Dugu’s expressions changed, because of Lin Mengya’s words.

Coincidentally, a high pitched scream was heard.

"Ah—Why are you here! I am Mistress An. How dare you do this to me!"

It was great timing. Lin Mengya wanted to applaud Mistress An’s excellent performance.

In fact, Mistress An thought that the man whom she was having sex with, was the Crown Prince.

When the pesticide effect wore off, she found that the man lying above her body, was just a guard.

Mistress An, who was used to bossing people around, had even forgotten what occasion it was now.

"B*tch!"

The Crown Prince was already highly irritated. He suddenly took out a sharp steel knife from the guard next to him.

He strode to bed and pushed Dugu away. The sound of two screams rang out when he ran into it.

Blood dripped from the curtain, leaving frightening brown streaks.

Everyone fell silent. The Crown Prince had become a laughing stock again.

Long Tianyu subconsciously stretched his arm, to protect Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya shook her head, and pulled his arm away.

As a doctor, she had never felt frightened by the sight of fresh blood.

Enjoying the twisted look on the Crown Prince’s face not been enough for her. Was there still room for fear?

Outrage? Insult? Question? It didn’t matter. What mattered was that her revenge had only just began.

"Your Highness, I—"

The vice Princess Dugu tried to explain the matter to the Crown Prince. However, the Crown Prince’s gloomy eyes frightened her.

Fresh blood dripped on to the ground, from the knife.

The Crown Prince looked increasingly cruel and brutal.

He might have killed them all, if all the guests present, were not nobility.

It should have been Long Tianyu and Princess Ming Yue there. It shouldn’t have been his concubine and a lowly guard.

Unfortunately, he had witnesses, when he caught them red-handed. How could he not feel angry?

The potential killing intent was hidden in his cold eyes.

But his eyes encountered another one’s eyes, which was as dark as night.

"Had it all been planned by Lin Mengya?"

But the Crown Prince denied this possibility.

It was absolutely impossible. Lin Mengya did not know his people. She could not have made such a detailed arrangement.

The one who had planned this, must be someone who was familiar with his people, at least.

The Crown Prince scanned Long Tianyu and other people, and finally, his eyes stopped at the figure of vice Princess Dugu.

She had been very flustered just now. She must have seen Mistress An.

Why would she try to cover for Mistress An if she had really planned to undermine him?

"But then, who could the mastermind be?"

"Guard! Drag the shameless couple out to the mass grave as food for dogs!"
