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

They were back to the topic of the important issue. Lin Mengya nodded, and then shook her head again.

“What do you mean?”

Yunzhu looked at Lin Mengya with concern in her eyes. No matter how she pretended not to mind, she wished she could become beautiful again.

“I have not fully understood the poison in your body, but I can concentrate all that poison in your body onto one spot. Moreover, I’m not sure how exactly your body would react to this.”

This was what her teacher called “sealing the poison”. Nevertheless, it could turn into something even more dangerous to her body.

For this reason, the procedure could only be carried out by her teacher.

“Alright, it can’t be worse than the state I’m in now.”

For some reason, it felt as if Yunzhu was desperate to restore her face tonight.

Lin Mengya pondered for a while and finally decided to bring Yunzhu to her teacher to let her have a look at Yunzhu’s face.

“Give me a minute. I will get changed and bring you to my teacher.”

In the secret chamber at the basement of the prince’s mansion, the unconscious Long Tianhao was gradually regaining his consciousness.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing that came into sight was Night’s concerned face.

The moment he tried to push himself up, he realized that his limbs were sore and completely strengthless. He felt as if they had been run over by some vehicle.

“What, what happened to me?”

His voice sounded hoarse.

Long Tianhao was totally unaware of what he had done earlier on.

“You? You went violent and out of control and did something so rude that it’s unforgivable. Are you pretending that you’ve no memory of it?” Lin Zhongyu rebuked Long Tianhao coldly.

Long Tianhao pulled himself up to a sitting position with the help of Night.

While sitting by one side was Lin Zhongyu, glaring at him with disdain.

He remembered drinking the bowl of green bean lily soup and feeling a burning sensation all over.

Then Jiang Ruqin came into his study, and then…

He could not recall the rest.

“What did I do just now?”

He turned to query Night, only to see Night shaking his head at him.

Perplexed, Long Tianhao looked towards Lin Zhongyu, who was gnashing his teeth.

Long Tianhao furrowed his brows. What exactly did he do?

“You didn’t do much, you just trampled some plants and flowers.”

Lin Mengya suddenly appeared in the stone room and everyone turned their attention to her.

Hearing her words, Lin Zhongyu was about to retort when Lin Mengya stopped him in time.

“It’s good that the prince is alright now. Teacher, may I discuss something with you private?”

Baili Rui had no idea what happened, just that Lin Zhongyu was furious when they first arrived.

Baili Rui supposed that it had to be something to do with his protege that made this young man fly into a rage.

Sigh, it may not always be a good thing to have an outstanding protege.

Lin Mengya led Baili Rui into a secret chamber because Yunzhu’s existence had to be kept a secret.

For this reason, Lin Mengya had taken another route, which was a secret passage which only she and Baili Rui knew about.

“Teacher, this is the friend I talked to you about. Please have a look at her and see if you’re able to help neutralize the poison in her body.”

Yunzhu turned around and her body froze the instant she saw Baili Rui.

Lin Mengya could sense the moment Yunzhu’s body stiffened.

She looked at both of them with puzzlement. Did they actually know each other?

“Since you are Lin Mengya’s friend, I will try my best to treat you. Please remove the veil on your face so I can have a look at it.”

However, Yunzhu’s eyes were fixed on Baili Rui and they revealed a mix of emotions.

It was only when Lin Mengya nudged Yunzhu that she gradually calmed her emotions.

“I… Thank you.”

She took the veil off and a wrinkled face came into sight.

Nevertheless, there was completely no sign of disgust in Baili Rui’s expression.

As a physician, albeit a physician specializing in the study of poison, he had been through countless bizarre cases over the years.

Yunzhu’s wrinkled face was in stark contrast with her silky smooth neck.

Baili Rui excitedly took out a silver needle and pierced it into Yunzhu’s face.

A purplish red drop of blood appeared which took Lin Mengya and Baili Rui by surprise.

The poison in Yunzhu’s body was apparently very aggressive and they wondered how she was able to endure until today.

“How did you get poisoned?”

There was a sober look in Baili Rui’s eyes as he fixed his eyes on the few drops of blood he collected in a small ceramic dish a moment ago.

Baili Rui had been studying into poison half of his life. It was not difficult for him to come to some conclusions using these few drops of blood.

“My, my enemy plotted against me, and I was careless to have fallen into my enemy’s hands.”

Yunzhu’s eyes were fixed on Baili Rui, but he was totally unaware because at this moment, he was intently studying her blood.

“Although the poison is aggressive, it’s not difficult to neutralize it. I heard that you’ve approached some experts to help neutralize it. Whoever that was must be a quack. He actually activated the effect of the poison. It was also because of the quack that you have been tormented day and night, but haven’t died.”

“What? That’s, that’s impossible! He would never inflict harm upon me! That’s impossible!”

Yunzhu glared at Baili Rui in shock and continued to deny what Baili Rui suggested
