Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 793 - A Storm Is Brewing

Chapter 793 A Storm Is Brewing

In fact, Lin Mengya had doubts about this.

This time, Madame Hui made a retreat a little too promptly and decisively.

If this was Madame Hui’s usual way of doing things, Lin Mengya thought that she probably would not be trusted by the Empress.

What on earth made her give up her backing so quickly?

However, since Madame Hui had gone out to stay out of this, it would be difficult for her to return.

Madame Jingrou had made a considerable improvement in tactics and means since she went through this, especially when it came to dealing with the remnants of the Empress’s force.

Although Madame Jingrou did not exterminate them, they had been plucked up by the roots under her leaders.h.i.+p.

It was absolutely impossible for them to stir up any more trouble.

Since the Empress had collapsed, Madame Hui was most likely to take over her force.

Therefore, Lin Mengya and Madame Jingrou had reached a consensus on dealing with Madame Hui.

It was not so easy for Madame Hui to make a comeback after staying out of this for self-protection.

Both she and Madame Jingrou intentionally tried to play down her role in this matter.

Fortunately, everyone’s attention was attracted by the Empress and her followers, so no one paid much attention to her.

She stayed behind in her yard in peace for the time being.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya did not like noisy places, so the quiet and safe Fengyu Court was a perfect place for her.

After such a serious thing happened in the imperial palace, Madame Jingrou naturally should stay with the Emperor to deal with some follow-up things.

Only Xiaoyu and Baisu visited the Fengyu Court every day.

However, Xiaoyu seemed to be ill at ease today so he didn’t even notice when Lin Mengya pulled the book out of his hand.

Lin Mengya, who found it quite interesting, picked up a piece of ginger pastry he hated most on the table, put it in his hand, and put his hand in front of his mouth.

He took a bite, seeming to be unaware of what she had fed him.

Seeing him put a whole piece of ginger pastry into his mouth, Lin Mengya patted his head with a smile.

“Ah! Sister, ahem, what’s this?” Xiaoyu said.

He, who had just returned to himself, was almost choked to death by the ginger pastry in his mouth.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya was prepared. She immediately gave him a cup of warm water that saved him from the miserable situation.

However, the overly sweet flavor of ginger lingered in his mouth for a long time.

Wanyan Yu immediately realized that his sister played a trick on him.

Nevertheless, he, who could neither criticize nor blame her, had no choice but to meekly swallow the tea mixed with the flavor of ginger.

“What’s bothering you? Why are you so ill at ease? Could it be that you have fallen in love with someone? Tell me which family she comes from and whether she is good-looking,” Lin Mengya said.

In front of Lin Mengya, Xiaoyu always acted like an innocent and lovely teenager.

With a rare blush on his face, he looked at his sister helplessly.

He considered no girl comparable to his sister.

He said, “No, I’m just thinking if anything went wrong with what happened in the past few days. The Yao Family has been peaceful since the Empress was imprisoned in her palace. Even Yao Zun was held down by the Yao Family. I have an intuition that something is wrong.”

His going through one and another trials enabled him to be increasingly mature and meticulous.

In order to ensure his safety, the Emperor gave him a lot of power.

With the secret help of Wanyan Lie, he could accomplish many tasks perfectly.

Given his awareness of the necessity of watching over the Yao Family and his ability to get a great deal of first-hand information, he, who had been inexperienced in politics, had made great progress.

“Yeah, something is indeed amiss,” Lin Mengya said with a smile, staring at Xiaoyu with appreciation in her eyes.

Xiaoyu turned around and felt a little embarra.s.sed.

His sister… always looked at him like this, which was a little strange.

“Sister, stop laughing. I need you to make a decision,” Xiaoyu said anxiously.

Lin Mengya stayed calm, but stared at her immature brother with a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

She said, “It’s time for you to make a decision. Xiaoyu, I can’t help you make decisions all the time.”

In fact, Lin Mengya mostly gave him advice rather than give him orders in recent days.

Plenty of things were accomplished by Xiaoyu with Wanyan Lie’s help.

This was the essential path for him to be an emperor, and he could not really grow up under her protection.

She had no interest in attending to state affairs from behind a curtain. At least she would let Xiaoyu give it a go in the situations where she could watch over him.

Regardless of the outcome, she could help him clean up the mess.

“But, I…” Xiaoyu said anxiously, thinking that Lin Mengya was joking with him.

Lin Mengya looked at the handsome young man in front of her proudly. Despite his young age and his slightly childlike and innocent appearance, this young man might evolve into an excellent emperor in the future as she, the Emperor and Madame Jingrou wished.

“I’ve been very satisfied with your performance these days, so you should keep going and handle the following things properly,” Lin Mengya said with a gentle smile.

They worked together to bring down the Empress, which would naturally set off a tempestuous storm.

Although it was very difficult for Xiaoyu to achieve victory in chaos, it was not just an experience that toughened him up.

“Sister, are you going to walk out on me?” Xiaoyu instantly asked with great grief on his androgynously charming face.

At the sight of the rare scene where Xiaoyu acted like a spoiled child, Lin Mengya couldn’t help laughing.

She said, “Silly boy, how can I do that? I just said that because I’m in the imperial palace, so the things outside the imperial palace are beyond my grasp. Besides, I may be busy in a few days. If you fail to find me and it causes the delay in your significant business, wouldn’t the loss outweigh the gain?”

Lin Mengya was consoled and troubled by Xiaoyu’s dependence on her at the same time.

Since she brought Xiaoyu back home, he had regarded himself as a fledgling in front of her.

She couldn’t help sighing in her heart, thinking she had the potential to be a femme fatale.

If it were not for the fact that she had no interest in striving for power, she would really have been able to influence the political situations in several countries.

Xiaoyu finally revealed a relived look, nodded and was involuntarily eager to have a try, which proved him the son of the Emperor and Madame Jingrou.

In fact, there was a desire for contending for supremacy in his heart and soul.

He said, “Wanyan Jing may have learned what happened in the imperial palace. If you are still going to meet him, you should be careful.”

Lin Mengya nodded cautiously. She was going to that yard to meet Wanyan Jing today.

She would probably have to work as a spy for a period of time before they brought down Wanyan Jing.

“I got it, but I have to warn you one more thing: don’t alarm the dual-pupiled man from the Xin Family in your investigation. I’m not sure if he has left the imperial palace, but if he hasn’t, you must be extra careful with him,” Lin Mengya said.

It was not because she was over suspicious, but because despite their quick action and the cooperation of various personnel, it was still too simple for them to bring down the Empress like that.

Lin Mengya had this feeling before, so she had to be extra careful.

Yao Zun was the only one who got in their way in this crisis.

The Yao Family and Wanyan Jing took no action, giving her the intuition that a storm was brewing.

Looking at the darkening sky outside, Lin Mengya was preoccupied by worries.

What exactly were Wanyan Jing and the Yao Family up to?

Lying on the beds with their clothes on, Baisu and Lin Mengya were taking long and regular breaths in the room.

If it were not for the fact that the two of them opened their eyes wide in the dark with no drowsiness, others would have believed that they had gone off to dreamland.

The Fengyu Court fell silent again. There was a faint sweet fragrance in the air.

It came from the flowers brought by the palace maid last time.

Lin Mengya deliberately showed this slip, so all the palace servants were knocked out as she expected.

Although the girl was just a palace maid, Lin Mengya considered her, who was capable of knocking out all the members of the Fengyu Court by this means without being noticed, as a great threat.

Lin Mengya wondered how many more capable people like her there were hiding in the imperial palace.

“Jingle… Jingle…”

The crisp and light bells sounded exceptionally clear at night.

Lin Mengya made a gesture, and Baisu tensed up.

Lin Mengya got up from the bed and straightened up, as if she were sleepwalking. Then she opened the door so that she was completely exposed to the moonlight.

Tonight’s dangerous and exciting visit was about to begin.

The palace maid was waiting for her on the road as before. Lin Mengya lowered her head, acting like a walking dead.

After entering the empty courtyard, she was surprised to find no one there.

Lin Mengya stood there alone, troubled by a hint of unease.

Dark clouds temporarily obscured the full moon, and the oppressive and damp air made her quickly realize that there might be a downpour soon.

Staying in the courtyard alone, she felt a chill and trembled with fear and unease.

Finally, she heard footsteps from the dark. At the same time, there came a bolt of lightning across the sky in an instant.

As the thunder broke overhead, Lin Mengya seemed to be frightened and trembled all over at the moment.

At the sight of an inscrutable smile, Lin Mengya felt as if she were struck by lightning.

“Are you still pretending? Miss Lin, when I first heard about you, I thought you were a very smart person. Now it seems that you are not only smart, but also quite audacious. Nevertheless, do you think that you can deceive the Eldest Prince with your amateurish acting skill?” There came a voice.

As Lin Mengya lifted her head in disbelief, a face with a gentle smile came into her sight.

There was an inscrutable sparkle in those dual-pupiled eyes at this moment.

“What do you mean by saying that?” Lin Mengya asked.

She couldn’t tell whether she was mocked or praised, but she was sure of one thing: the man in front of her might have seen through her trick from the very beginning!
