Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 959

Chapter 959 Weird Leader

Even after so many years, Shangguan Dongzhu still couldn’t help s.h.i.+vering when she thought of that man.

Seeing the disorder in her eyes, Lin Mengya knew that the effect of the drug had begun to affect Shangguan Dongzhu’s brain without the Immortal Pill.

Lin Mengya stuffed the Immortal Pill into Shangguan Dongzhu’s hand at once.

The faint fragrance suddenly intensified, and Shangguan Dongzhu finally calmed down.

“All I know is that it was a man. But it was weird that his voice changed from old to young back and forth. I thought that he was deliberately covering it up. However, when I handed the other piece of Immortal Pill to him, I noticed that one of his hands was as old as an old man’s, but the other was as fair as a teenager’s.”

Lin Mengya felt a chill just from what Dongzhu Shangguan was telling.

“What kind of person was the leader? Why did he have such a weird side?”

Lin Mengya was about to ask further, but she saw that Shangguan Dongzhu looked exhausted.

Her eyes were closed, and her forehead was covered in a cold sweat.

That memory must have been like a nightmare for her and tormented her over the years.

“With the help of Candle Dragon Cult, I eliminated many opponents without leaving a trace. I thought this would help my son to take the throne, but I didn’t expect that in the end, I was the one who put my children in a hopeless situation. Mengya, you must eliminate the Candle Dragon Cult! They are a crowd of devils that have climbed up from h.e.l.l. The one who teams up with them will end up being gnawed by them, leaving nothing behind, not even a soul. I am a loser now. Can you please save my children?”

Shangguan Dongzhu grabbed Lin Mengya’s wrist excitedly. Lin Mengya tried to break free but failed.

However, Lin Mengya did not reveal any sympathy when faced with Shangguan Dongzhu whose face was full of expectations.

She prised Shangguan Dongzhu’s fingers one by one and then said word by word.

“Indeed, I won’t let the Candle Dragon Cult survive, but I’m not doing it for your children. To be honest, maybe thousands of people who have been entrapped by the Candle Dragon Cult should survive, but only your children deserve to die.”

Her coldness and mercilessness finally brought reality to Shangguan Dongzhu.

She forced a helpless bitter smile because she knew Lin Mengya was telling the truth.

As a mother, she knew better than anyone else what her children had done.

Some things had to be repaid.

“I know, but please, if you can, just keep them alive. Please accept this piece of Immortal Pill. If you can defeat the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult with it, just take it as the money I paid for my children’s lives.”

Even now, Shangguan Dongzhu was still begging Lin Mengya to spare her children’s lives.

When she saw that Lin Mengya was unmoved, she knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Mengya regardless of dignity.

“What are you doing? Get up!”

Lin Mengya did not expect that Empress, who used to be arrogant, would kneel at her feet.

She immediately jumped away and held on to Shangguan Dongzhu’s arm to stop her crazy behavior.

“I know… I know that even without this thing, you can find a way to defeat that man. But I beg you… I beg you to give my children a way to live, please!”

Shangguan Dongzhu said in a tearful voice. The indifferent look on her face had disappeared. Now, she was only an ordinary woman with a face of embarra.s.sment.

Even if Lin Mengya was hard-hearted, she had a little sympathy for Shangguan Dongzhu.

She had an impatient expression on her face, but she forcibly dragged Shangguan Dongzhu up.

“No matter how much you beg me, there is no way for me to say yes. Your children have murdered so many people. Even if I let them go, others can’t spare them. But I can promise you that if they don’t continue to go against me, I can let them change to other ident.i.ties and start over again. This is my biggest concession. Otherwise, even if you kowtowed to death here, I wouldn’t be softhearted.”

Shangguan Dongzhu did not expect that Lin Mengya would give in.

She nodded at once and stuffed the Immortal Pill into Lin Mengya’s hand.

“There is a feature of the Immortal Pill. If it is used separately in one piece, it works. But if it is cut and put together again, it will temporarily lose its effect. I guess that the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult was anxious to get this thing back then. That was why he showed up. I think, if you can find an opportunity to put the two pieces together, his old disease will recur.”

Even Lin Mengya did not expect it to have such an effect.

But if she took this thing, what about Shangguan Dongzhu?

Shangguan Dongzhu seemed to have read Lin Mengya’s mind, she smiled suddenly, and she looked relieved.

“I’m fine. In fact, it’s better to be insane than awake. If I keep awake, there will be no place for me to live soon. So I would rather be insane.”

Lin Mengya watched Shangguan Dongzhu curled up on the bed, and her clear eyes gradually became distant.

It was the effect of the drug that had been suppressed for a long time. It was eroding her remaining reason little by little.

Princess Tiancheng tricked her into taking the drug, which was mainly to poison her brain.

Without the Immortal Pill, she would have forgotten everything by now.

“There used to be a flouris.h.i.+ng sweet-scented osmanthus tree in this courtyard. Unfortunately, as the Empress, I couldn’t live in this small courtyard. Now, I am glad that I can see it every day.

Shangguan Dongzhu said in a daze. Her eyes were fixed on a void place in the courtyard.

Lin Mengya held the Immortal Pill in her hand and stepped out of the room silently.

She thought, “Actually, Shangguan Dongzhu was still affected by that drug.

“However, she had been worried about her children, so she had tried her best to endure it until now.”

Then she couldn’t help thinking of her mother.

“What mood did that strong and intelligent woman have to give birth to me?”

Lin Mengya turned to look at Shangguan Dongzhu, who was still dazedly staring at the empty courtyard by the window. She had mixed feelings in her heart.

“Ya’er, did she make things difficult for you?”

When Lin Mengya just stepped out of the courtyard, she saw the Empress Dowager, who was rus.h.i.+ng towards her.

Lin Mengya’s hands were gripped by a pair of cool hands. The Empress Dowager put them carefully in her palms and looked at Lin Mengya worriedly.

“No, she didn’t. Don’t worry.”

It seemed that they had been waiting here for her.

Lin Mengya looked at the Empress Dowager, and infinite warmth welled up in her heart.

She then held the Empress Dowager’s arm and hurriedly beckoned everyone to Fengxiang Palace.

“She… Well, she is a pitiful woman, too.”

On the way, Lin Mengya only told the Empress Dowager that Shangguan Dongzhu asked her to spare her children.

As for the Immortal Pill, she had already kept it inside her clothes.

The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Maybe it would work unexpectedly in the end.

“Although she is pitiful, she must bear the consequences of some things that she has done.”

Lin Mengya naturally knew that the Empress Dowager was bullied by Shangguan Dongzhu when she was Concubine De.

Even though she had agreed, she had to consider the Empress Dowager’s feelings.

“Yes, you’re right. But I know you are kind-hearted. Don’t worry, The past is the past. I was just going to discuss with you how to deal with Shangguan Dongzhu.”

Lin Mengya glanced at the Empress Dowager. Seeing that her expression did not change greatly, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Your Grace, it’s up to you. However, I think it would be better to keep her in the palace and let her die of old age.”

The idea of the Empress Dowager and Lin Mengya coincided with each other. The former Crown Prince, who imprisoned His Majesty and plotted a rebellion, was stripped of his t.i.tle of Crown Prince and put under house arrest.

Because of Tiancheng’s cruel methods, Shangguan Dongzhu and her son become lunatics.

Even so, if the surviving supporter of the Crown Prince made a comeback one day, they would be the perfect targets.

It was easy to kill people, but the key was how to use them to win others’ loyalty.

“Well, you know me the best.”

The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Mengya with satisfaction. The more she looked at her daughter-in-law, the happier she felt.

Lin Mengya was not only beautiful but also smart.

More importantly, she had a kind heart.

Killing Shangguan Dongzhu and the former Crown Prince was not a big deal, but the new emperor would be charged with murdering his legal mother and half-brother.

These matters could be big or small, but to an emperor, they could not be neglected at all.

“Your Grace, you are truly magnanimous. Otherwise, based on what they did back then, even letting them die a few hundred times wouldn’t be enough.”

Lin Mengya flattered the Empress Dowager with a smile. Of course, Empress Dowager was glad to hear that.

She reached out her finger and poked Lin Mengya in the forehead and said with a smile.

“You smart girl, you know how to talk very well. For some things, we are not willing to do but have to. Even if they can live a peaceful life, they are not what they used to be. Just take it as doing good deeds for my future grandsons.”

Lin Mengya blushed when she was teased.

“What are you talking about? I have not married yet.”

Lin Mengya lowered her head and felt a burst of bitterness.

It was not that she didn’t want to give birth to Long Tianyu’s child, but…

She shook her head and chased those unimportant thoughts out of her mind.

The most important thing at the moment was to unlock the paradise city and solve the ridiculous mission of the Zuo family and the Lin family.

She could not enjoy life with her beloved one until she solved those big problems.

All of a sudden, Lin Mengya felt that her future was like a towering mountain.

Fortunately, she had been working hard to climb to the top of the mountain, and she was almost there to be successful.

Everything was worth it!

After Lin Mengya went back to her Yixin Courtyard from Fengxiang Palace, she dismissed everyone, except Baisu, who served her by her side.

She unconsciously took out the Immortal Pill. She just felt something particularly strange.

“Why did the leader have such a weird symptom?”
