Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 322 - Escape Plan

Chapter 322 Escape Plan

Of course, the merry widow was famous for her beauty and dissolute lifestyle. However, there were actually many suspicious aspects in her cause of death.

When the villagers were in doubt about the widow, she suddenly bled from her seven apertures after death.

It was recorded in the book that, in fact, the widow died because a silver needle had been put into the top of her head. The silver needle could kill her, but it could not be seen on the surface.

But after death, as long as the silver needle was removed before the corpse rotted, the dead would immediately have symptoms of bleeding from the seven apertures.

But if someone really wanted to use this method to kill people, they had to be very discreet. Ever her teacher despised this method and said that it was what villains would do. She never expected it to happen again here.

If someone wanted to remove the silver needle, they had to be among those who had just touched Liu Yi’s body. Since Xiaofeng dared to frame her, he might have a.s.sociates in the Imperial Hospital.

However, he certainly did not expect that she would happen to know about this esoteric method.

After carefully looking in the dead body’s head, Lin Mengya really found a small pinp.r.i.c.k. If she had not looked carefully, she would never have found it.

“The cause of his death has already been found, which is the small hole in his head. It’s an extremely vicious and ruthless method, killing him with only one silver needle. Moreover, the people behind this also direct a drama about redressing the grievance for the dead. Doctor Su, Doctor He, you can come and examine it for yourself to see if it’s like I said.”

Lin Mengya spoke calmly, and Xiaofeng looked a little pale.

Not only Su Tong, but even the remaining imperial physicians also widened their eyes and looked at the small hole in Liu Yi’s head. Even they had never heard of this method, let alone those apprentices.

“I didn’t expect that… it’s because of this. It‘s, it’s unheard of and unseen!”

Even Su Tong was surprised. Although they were adept at scheming, they still knew very little about this kind of peculiar method that was used to kill people.

In the past, they would at most manage to use some drugs. And not everyone could think up this bizarre and ruthless needle technique.

Lin Mengya sneered and stood up from the ground.

“Maybe you’ll say that no one is better at acupuncture than me. But if I did do it, why should I remove the silver needle at this time? Oh? Maybe it’s because I’m rather stupid and want you to be against me.”

Lin Mengya mercilessly ridiculed all the people of the Imperial Hospital.

However, Lin Mengya seemed to think that these things could still not make these people clear-minded.

So she smiled and added, “Last night when I went back, the 10th prince inexplicably had a high fever. So I’ve been busy taking care of him with my maids all night. I’m not talking nonsense. All the servants in the palace can testify for me. I’ll sit here and wait for you to ask them. Now, things are already clear. Am I the murderer? Or is someone trying to use the case history to slander me? The truth is already clear.”

The people behind Xiaofeng clearly did not expect that although they had set up the trap for her, Lin Mengya could still free herself from it so easily.

Su Tong’s face drained of all its color. He had deeply learned Prince Yu’s means a while back. Up until now, there was still a shadow in his heart.

But in the Imperial Hospital that he headed, someone dared to slander Princess Yu. This… Prince Yu would not forgive him easily.

“Come on, seize Xiaofeng! How dare you slander Princess Yu!”

The plot was now reversed. But Xiaofeng just smiled weirdly at Lin Mengya, and then red blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Mengya’s pupils contracted slightly. So this guy had already not cared about his own life. He actually used his life to gamble with her.

“It’s useless, he already took the poison. I know that you still have some a.s.sociates. But I’m telling you that I’ll expose everything you want to do. And I’ll make you all die with your grudges unsatisfied.”

She was still beautiful and gentle. However, what Lin Mengya said was like a bone-crus.h.i.+ng dagger, making all people in the Imperial Hospital feel like they were being doused with cold water.

Xiaofeng’s death did not mean that this matter would come to an end.

And Lin Mengya’s words were also like an announcement that she would never leave the matter at that. Even the real conspirators had to think it over.

The people in the Imperial Hospital who had almost become Xiaofeng’s accomplices just now broke out in a cold sweat. For G.o.d’s sake, what should they do now?

“Doctor Su, since I came to the Imperial Hospital, I’ve never ceased to be at the center of troubles. So I think it’s very necessary for you to overhaul this place. Although I’m just a woman, I hope that these things of slandering good people won’t happen again. The reason why I didn’t interfere before is that I respect you. But from now on, if there are any more unscrupulous people, don’t blame me for being unkind and merciless.”

Her face fell. The reason why someone dared to frame her over and over again was simply that Su Tong, as the minister, could not manage his people well.

From the first day Lin Mengya came here, Su Tong did not take her seriously. As a result, his subordinates also thought that Lin Mengya was weak and could be easily bullied.

But this time, Su Tong also understood that things were getting worse.

If there were just verbal taunts, even Lin Mengya could not express her anger. But now…

“Sigh.” He sighed faintly in his heart. He did not expect that after running the official circle for so many years, he would end up in this state, having his reputation all ruined.

Every one of the Lin family was not to be trifled with.

“Your Highness, please punish me. I’m guilty.”

Lin Mengya glanced at him. It was not just Su Tong alone who was guilty.

“I’ll ask the Dali Temple to take full charge of this matter. Doctor Su, you’d better take good care of yourself. I already gave the case history to you, and tomorrow when you go to check the emperor’s pulse, I’ll be there. After that, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Lin Mengya turned to leave abruptly, leaving the people of the Imperial Hospital and the two dead bodies on the ground to stare at each other, speechless.

If the Dali Temple took full charge of this matter, it meant that everybody in the court would know about it. Su Tong’s face finally fell, and his eyes were lifeless. He had thought that he could return to his hometown in a distinguished way when he retired.

But unexpectedly, now…

Outside the Imperial Hospital, Lin Mengya and Baisu looked serious.

The palace was still full of red bricks and green tiles. But in Lin Mengya’s eyes, it was so dark and horrible.

“Master, shall we leave the palace?” Baisu asked tentatively.

She was not afraid of a real fight, but people in the palace always. .h.i.t below the belt. It was really impossible to defend against these attacks effectively, for the stabs in the back seemed to be everywhere!

In the palace, no matter what kind of conspiracies and evil scheming there were, they were all just businesses as usual. Both simplehearted children and innocent young people had become victims of these conspiracies.

“Leave? We struggled to come here at the cost of other people’s lives. If we leave now, who can redress the grievance for the dead?”

Death had once become Lin Mengya’s worst nightmare.

On countless nights, she constantly dreamed about the scene of Elder Sister Yue Ting jumping off the cliff.

Self-accusation and remorse haunted her day and night. Although she said that she would avenge Elder Sister Yue Ting, it was easier said than done. Even if she had managed to kill Hu Lunan and Mingyue, but so what?

After all, her brother would have lifelong regret.

From then on, she would never want to see any of her beloved be hurt.

Even if people might think that she was selfish and cruel, she did not care. However, if someone dared to hurt a person she loved, she would surely become their worst nightmare and use all means to make them pay the price!

So she had to learn to arm herself with cold-bloodedness.

Because she clearly knew that only by catching the one behind the scenes could she truly prevent the tragedy from happening. And only in this way could she console the innocent dead.

“Okay, I see. So Master, what are you going to do next?”

Although Baisu had not yet understood Lin Mengya’s thoughts, she knew that she would do whatever her master wanted her to do. Even if she had to sacrifice herself, she would not hesitate.

Lin Mengya stopped and whispered.

“Take good care of Yinghua first. I’ll make plans after examining His Majesty tomorrow. Although Xiaofeng is dead, the people behind this will never stop. Since he failed to frame me this time, he will definitely use new methods to tackle me. Be careful, and I’ll think of a method to change our pa.s.sive situation as soon as possible.”

Although she had the help of Senior Yu, the palace was still not her main battlefield.

Treating the emperor was a golden opportunity for her, but it came with more risks. Whether or not she could seize the opportunity depended on herself.

Letting out a light sigh, Lin Mengya only felt that she still had a long way to go. She was like Tripitaka riding the white horse. Only by getting through these difficulties could she meet her bright future.

After what happened with Xiaofeng, Su Tong naturally did not dare to stop her from seeing the emperor.

In the Imperial Hospital currently, people had to be extremely frightened. They deserved it. After acting like tyrants for so many years, now it was time for them to pay.

Lin Mengya was disinclined to be bothered about them. Anyway, she heard that the head of the Dali Temple was really something to deal with. These blessed moths deserved it.

After returning to her yard, just when she entered the room, she met Pearl, who was in a hurry.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Pearl looked terrible. Her face was pale, but with a sickly flush. After seeing Lin Mengya, she immediately lowered her head and respectfully retreated to the side.

She was no different than usual.

“Well, you can leave now. You and Agate have been working hard recently, then you don’t have to serve me these days. By the way, last night, Concubine Xian said that she was worried, so she sent a few more people. You can have a good rest in the next two days.”

It was rare for Lin Mengya to say anything so kind to her. Pearl was obviously a bit flattered and gave Lin Mengya a slightly silly look as if trying to distinguish if it was true or not.
