Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 331 - Detoxification

Chapter 331 Detoxification

It was still not too late. Although she had already broken down barriers, it was still not the right time to point it out.

Especially when the situation in the palace was still unclear, Lin Mengya was uncertain about what her enemy would do next.

“I’ll write you a prescription. You can’t feed His Majesty any medicine now. You should let him bathe in the medicine. The hotter the better, so that the toxins inside his body can be removed.”

Lin Mengya’s method of healing took effect slowly but steadily.

It worked well for the Emperor. However, the toxins in the body of the Emperor could not be totally removed until he had at least regained fifty percent of his health.

Luckily, Qiu Yu and other servants serving the Emperor, were all loyal to him.

Otherwise, the Emperor’s body would not have been able to bear the power of the cure, even when Lin Mengya suggested detoxification.

“Okay, I see. I’ll keep it to myself.”

Lin Mengya was not afraid that those imperial physicians would find something wrong.

That was because Qiu Yu told her that the medicine for the Emperor was actually not from the Court of Imperial Physicians.

Even though the Emperor was still unconscious, someone would still act on his behalf.

Therefore, Lin Mengya did not need to worry about his safety for the moment.

“When I leave this time, I will not have another chance to come back in again, within a short time. If all goes well, I will be out in a few days. There’s a drug store in the city, Sanjue Hall. If you want to see me, go and look for Old Uncle Bai in the Sanjue Hall. He will make the necessary arrangements.”

Lin Mengya told Qiu Yu, in low voice. All of a sudden, there came a sound of the bowl crashing onto the ground, from the resting room of the Emperor.

Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu ran into the room immediately, only to see Baisu glaring at a shivering maid.

“What’s going on?”

Lin Mengya frowned as she took in everything.

Shattered pieces of the medicine bowl were lying near Baisu’s foot. There were some tea stains on the hemline of her pink skirt.

Suddenly, when she saw Qiu Yu, it was as if he was her savior. The maid ran behind Qiu Yu and gripped his sleeves, as if Baisu was really scary.

“It’s...my fault. I bumped into her accidentally. But Doctor Qiu, I did not mean it.”

The maid said this earnestly, but avoided Baisu’s glares.

“It’s alright. Be careful next time. Baisu, follow me.”

Lin Mengya had her doubts and took Baisu out for a discussion.

Baisu’s face was still very cold, maybe because the medicine had scalded her.

“Well, well. That maid did not do it deliberately. Stop being angry with her.”

Lin Mengya sat on the chair outside and cast an eye at Baisu.

However, she was thoughtful enough to get some medication and applied it on Baisu.

“No, Master, I can deal with the bruise.”

When she saw Lin Mengya applying medication on her foot, Baisu refused instantly, blushed and tried to snatch it out of her hand.

“Hey, we don’t have to be so formal with each other. Is it painful? Are you alright?”

Baisu was her maid. Lin Mengya would feel pain if her maid was injured.

However, the situation was different now. Lin Mengya could do nothing to ease the maid’s pain now.

Fortunately, Baisu was a good natured person.

Her coldness eventually thawed, unlike earlier, when she was so aloof.

“Master, can His Majesty really be saved?”

Baisu helped grind the ink and saw Lin Mengya writing down many prescriptions. She did not understand and then asked in a whisper, while tilting her head.

“I don’t know either. We can only make every possible effort.”

This time, even Lin Mengya had no confidence.

But there was a question on her mind.

There were several kinds of toxins to be accounted for in the Emperor’s body. He had initially ingested them first.

But there was something different.

Since that person knew to use another poison to neutralize those poisons, he would rightly have been an extremely cautious man.

So given that, how could it be possible for such a cautious man to mix another poison which had the same effect, but not using the same prescription?

It was totally a superfluous move. If he truly wanted the Emperor to die, increasing the poison was enough to kill the Emperor.

Her heart missed a beat. “There is more than one person desperate for the Emperor’s life?”

Immediately, Lin Mengya thought her idea was a little bold.

The Emperor was still powerful, with hundreds of masters or guards. It would be difficult to poison him.

Lin Mengya’s doubts were allayed. Then, other questions started popping up in her head.

Lin Mengya shook her head. “It seems that royal affairs do require great mental effort.”

Lin Mengya drew herself back to the prescription and gave it to Qiu Yu. After reading through it carefully several times, Qiu Yu burned the prescription silently.

“It’s getting too late. We should be leaving. I will be on duty tonight. But Su Tong and the other physicians will question me. Then, I’ll tell them that you have the same results as them. Be careful. It will be dangerous during the next few days.”

What Qiu Yu said was exactly what Lin Mengya was thinking of.

Lin Mengya nodded and stared at the door of the resting room of the Emperor, as if she was deep in thought.

“Has Long Tianyu been informed that I will be treating His Majesty?”

“If he gets the news, I may be safer.”

In her mind, his handsome face, which had a depressed look, suddenly appeared as clear as a picture.

“Will the two of them be able to see each other soon?”

Somehow, she felt herself looking forward to that.

At the same time, in the Ministry of War.

The steel gray brocade robe embroidered with golden threads seemed a little wrinkled.

The gilding crown engraved with tigers, was still intact.

His handsome eyebrows were furrowed, as he read an urgent report in his hands. His dark eyes refused to miss any detail.

After thinking about it for a while, he picked up an inky brush with his hand, and carefully wrote down a line of words.

He did not know how long he had been in that position.

Sitting upright behind the desk, Long Tianyu had just dealt with military affairs in the southwest. He rubbed his weary eyes, having stayed awake for the whole day.

“Your Highness, you should get some rest.”

Lin Kui came in with a cup of ginseng tea.

He was secretly concerned about Long Tianyu. But Long Tianyu just nodded at him; he did not even have time to raise his eyes to look at Lin Kui.

“Oh, is there any news from the palace?”

His voice was deep, low and hoarse, because his throat was dry.

Somehow, there were mixed emotions in his tone.

Lin Kui immediately told him news he had just received.

“Last night, the palace was on fire. It’s said that Servants Administration was almost burnt down. Luckily, Princess Yu lived quite a distance from it. She took His Majesty’s pulse today and should be back to where she is staying now.”

Suddenly, the hand holding an ink brush hesitated for a second.

But at the next second, everything returned to normal.

“Well, keep a close eye on Mengya’s every move. I’ll go to the Palace and take her back tomorrow.”

Noticing that Prince Yu was not resting yet, Lin Kui could not help sighing silently.

He originally thought that news about Princess Yu would make Prince Yu take a break.

Instead, Prince Yu continued working.

Lin Kui could do nothing, except show himself out silently, shaking his head.

Silence returned to the room.

However, Long Tianyu stopped writing.

He glanced out of the window with his bloodshot eyes.

There was a constant stream of human traffic at the Ministry of War.

The layout of the yard outside had been carelessly arranged.

It was a little noisy because there were so many people here. In contrast Prince Yu’s mansion looked like it had been coated with dust overnight.

Even the grass and flowers in Liuxin Courtyard were wilting. They had been growing well before, though.

If Lin Mengya came back...

A light smile rose at the corners of his mouth, which he himself was not even aware of.

“If she comes back, will the mansion be filled with the same vibrant energy again?”

There was a current of compelling anticipation rising in his heart, for the first time.

Compared with the chaos in the morning, the Court of Imperial Physicians, where the rescue of the wounded had come to an end, was now back in good order.

However, Su Tong, who had been claiming to have healed the wounded, had led his subordinates over early, and they were waiting for Lin Mengya at the door, respectfully.

“Your Highness, I’m sorry that you have suffered. Thank you.”

Su Tong greeted her from a distance.

But he did not mention anything about her treatment for the Emperor.

Lin Mengya gave him an elegant smile, and did not say anything, either.

“What a fox. You really like playing with fire.”

“Come, let us have some tea.”

Su Tong was not get angry when he did not get the reaction he wanted from Lin Mengya.

That was one of his strong traits. As the most respectable minister in the Court of Imperial Physicians, he was able to control his emotions and acted as a smiling tiger.

This kind of person was truly frightening.

“There is no need. I’d better to tell you all about my treatment. It’s getting late. I should not hold you guys back, otherwise, you will not be unable to treat other patients.”

On the way back, Qiu Yu told her to update the venerable physicians about her treatment for the Emperor.

Her treatment should be recorded in the case history.

Lin Mengya told them briefly that the Emperor’s health condition had not changed, either for the better or worse.

After hearing what she said, everyone’s expression indicated that they had long thought of the same thing.

Then, Lin Mengya wrote it down on the case history and signed her name. After that, Su Tong finally gave a relaxed smile. But his smile seemed to be harboring malicious intentions somehow.
