Chapter 197 Meeting up with an Old Pal (1/2)

Night, together with Lin Zhongyu, supported Long Tianhao as they dragged him away. As they were walking through the arched door, Xiaoyu made Long Tianhao bump his head onto the side and Lin Mengya caught sight of it. She wondered if he had done it on purpose.

It was quite a hard collision and she supposed it would be painful.

“Master, can we not live in the prince’s mansion any longer?”

Baizhi had been around Lin Mengya for the longest time. Although she still had a childish mentality, she loved Lin Mengya dearly.

She looked miserably at her master, teary-eyed.

“That’s right. Our courtyard may not be as spacious as the prince’s mansion, it is still very comfortable. Master, I’m sure we’ll be able to support ourselves there.”

Even Baiji, who was the most matured and steady one of them all, felt heartbroken over what had happened.

They knew Lin Mengya too well. If Long Tianhao did what he had intended just now, there would be no turning back.

Given Lin Mengya’s personality, they supposed she would have done something rash afterwards.

“I know all of you are concerned about me. However, now is not the time to leave.”

Having calmed down a little now, Lin Mengya popped her head out of the layers of blanket which she was wrapped up in.

Why was there such a strong dose of aphrodisiac in Long Tianhao’s body?

“Alright, I think you can all go now. I’ve something to discuss with Qinghu.”

The four maidservants hesitated for a moment, but eventually exited Lin Mengya’s room. They had begun to discuss how they should take turns guarding outside Lin Mengya’s room.

“Yes? Do you want to me kill or castrate the d*mn prince? Just tell me!”

A sinister look appeared on Qinghu’s face.

To Qinghu, it was a miracle for someone to continue living, having attempted to violate his lass.

Lin Mengya gave him an accusing look, then shook her head and said, “He had been doped. The others may not be able to tell, but I suppose it should not escape your eyes?”

The fierce look in his eyes faded and he nodded reluctantly.

“I smelt the smell of the dream flower on his body. Do you know which aphrodisiac contains the dream flower?”

It was said that the dream flower was a kind of herb growing close to the north pole.

This was the reason Long Tianhao was unable to suppress its effect because it was too overpowering.

Qinghu shuddered at the mention of this flower. A hateful and repulsive look flashed across his eyes in that instant.

It was a deeply engraved, unpleasant memory from his past.

“The dream flower is produced in extremely small amounts. Because its effect was so powerful, it was only supplied to the royal families.”

Qinghu said with a deeply chilling voice.

It seemed that the people in the royal family were all so hypocritical.

While on the surface, they may appear to be good, but they used means and ways to achieve their selfish goals behind people’s back.

He would not turn out this way if not for those things people did to him.

“Did you say it’s reserved for the royals’ use?”

Lin Mengya went into a state of deep thought for a while. If only the members of the royal family could get hold of this poison, then she would be the only one who had access.

However, given that the effect of it was so strong, would she not be concerned that it was dangerous to her son?

“That’s right. Actually, only those members with a higher status in the royal family would have access to it. How could Prince Yu be so lascivious? Didn’t he know that he might even lose his life by taking it? Would he choose fulfillment of his lust over his life?”

Lin Mengya knew better than to think likewise. Having gathered the information about the poison from Qinghu, she had all her doubts cleared.

If the dosage given was exceeding the recommended dosage, the person would bleed from the seven apertures of his head.

“Qinghu, can you do me a favor by going to the Art Courtyard to investigate something?”

Lin Mengya pondered over the matter and thought that it would be wise to confirm if Concubine De was the one who doped Long Tianhao.

“I’m not going!”

Qinghu refused to take her order and started to throw a tantrum. In his mind, Long Tianhao had attempted to violate Lin Mengya after all.

It was lucky for Long Tianhao that Qinghu had not killed him.

There was no way he would help Long Tianhao out!

“I know you’re concerned about me, but do you really think that I’m that kindhearted?”

At this, Qinghu looked her up and down and thought that she was definitely not the kindhearted type.

Surely she would not let this slip her chance to take revenge.

She used her fingers to indicate to Qinghu to come closer as she whispered into his ears.

A cheeky look appeared in Qinghu’s eyes as he shot a glance at her.

“Let’s do that. Wait here, and I’ll go gather the necessary evidence from the Art Courtyard.”

Qinghu was most willing to do anything that would create more trouble for Long Tianhao.

In the next moment, Lin Mengya was left alone in her room.

“It is normal for a man to be impulsive. You could have used your dagger to stab him. Why? Couldn’t you bear to do it?”

The voice of Yunzhu echoed through the air and Lin Mengya instantly turned to face the shadowy figure in front of her.

It seemed that a lot was happening here in her room tonight.

“He is Prince Yu. There would be a lot of trouble if he dies.”

Yet, a small voice in Lin Mengya was saying otherwise.

She almost blurted out the real reason, even though she could hardly believe it herself.

“Em, perhaps this was one of the reasons. Don’t worry, I’m not interested in knowing the matters of your heart.”

Yunzhu took off the black veil covering her face, which was covered with so many wrinkles that she looked extremely aged.

In the Sanjue Hall, she would have her face covered all day, so that no one knew that this old woman in black was once the most beautiful woman in the capital city.

“Qinghu told me that you’ve discovered a way to restore my face a little?”
