Chapter 303 Encountering Concubines (1/2)

Lin Mengya came to hold Baisu’s hands as well. It was a cold winter night, but with them warming each other, it didn’t seem difficult to get through it.

“It’ll be fine. He and I hit it off. Besides, he has done me a favor previously. It proves that he is a good man. Do you remember? The first time I met you, Baiji, and even Xiaoyu, I supposed that we could get along well with each other. As a result, we became a family.”

Baisu helplessly sighed. She hadn’t considered Lin Mengya to be an approachable master until they had gotten familiar.

Lin Mengya had always been treating her enemies heartlessly, but she would become gentle when it came to those she cared about.

That explained why many friends around her would like to sacrifice their lives for her.

However, Lin Mengya had no idea about this.

“Young Master told me to protect you before he left. But according to Mr. Qiu, we may encounter more dangers in the Court of Imperial Physicians than back in Prince Yu’s Mansion.”

In fact, Lin Mengya was already aware of that.

Except for the four doctors, like four mountains, Su Tong, the Assistant Minister of the Court of Imperial Physicians, would not be that simple.

Su Tong looked friendly, but Lin Mengya could tell that the other doctors stood in awe of him. Even the four great doctors might work to please him.

Lin Mengya made an assumption for herself. Wherever people existed, there would be fights and schemes. The messier the Court of Imperial Physicians became, the more helpful to her to make a profit.

The moon radiated cold light, not colder than any human heart.

The Court of Imperial Physicians was noisy by the day, while it turned particularly lonely, desolate by night. Other than several doctors on duty, most of the doctors would leave the palace and return to their homes.

In the inner hall of the Court of Imperial Physicians, Su Tong and Jiang Kai were warming themselves around a copper fire pan. Their weathered faces wore gloomy expressions.

“You’ve witnessed for yourself today. Princess Yu is not like a common person. She’s a tough enemy.”

Su Tong’s face was reflected by the orange fire light, making is look especially tough as he was warming himself by the fire.

“Hmph! Just an immature girl. She’s still unexperienced, even after being taught by Lin Muzhi and Prince Yu. “She showed off her control over needles and didn’t know how to hide her weak points. Does such a stupid girl scare you, Su Tong?”

Jiang Kai’s temper was still like a powder keg. He gave Su Tong a sideways glance and then spoke with contempt.

Su Tong didn’t get angry, as if he had already gotten used to his fiery temper. Instead, Su Tong picked up the boiling water on the stove, replenished for himself, and said calmly, “This girl is not terrified enough. Lin Muzhi and Prince Yu must have had a perfect plan so that they dared to send her to the palace. But you should keep alert. Don’t forget, according to seniority, you’re her uncle.”

Su Tong’s words seemed to arouse a period of memories Jiang Kai refused to recall.

After humming heavily, Jiang Kai’s eyes exposed his loathing for a moment.

“The Jiang Family is in the last time of peace-time. The Emperor’s health condition becomes poorer day after day. One day, Concubine De or the Jiang Family will become yesterday’s story. What the Jiang Family owes to me, I’ll make them pay!”

His loose facial muscles toughened because of his anger.

Presently, Jiang Kai was already not the doctor who should heal the wounded and rescue the dying.

Jiang Kai sprang to his feet, as if he wanted to stop the topic, and then left in a huff.

Only Su Tong was left, watching the burning charcoal in front of him.

He still kept calm and emotionless, even after he had managed to stir up Jiang Kai’s hidden fury.

Whoever managed to get such a high position, had a story.

If they all stuck their stories in their minds like Jiang Kai, then, none of them could make greater achievements.

However, Jiang Kai could be used to examine how powerful Lin Mengya was.

Su Tong slightly sighed. It will be harder to survive in the palace.

Lin Mengya slept well the previous night. She had a good adaptive capacity.

Early that morning, Pearl and Agate were quick with their hands to serve her to get dressed and washed, because they had been violently tricked by her.

Pearl’s face looked dreadfully pale with big dark circles. She was helplessly watching Lin Mengya in panic, as if the latter was a demon from hell.

“You…”

When the first word came out, Pearl’s hands trembled, and then the comb dropped down on the ground.

Pearl was frightened to burst into tears. She immediately knelt down on the ground to kowtow for Lin Mengya’s forgiveness.

“Please forgive me, Your Highness! It was not on purpose! Please forgive me, Your Highness!”

Lin Mengya looked at Pearl, constantly apologizing, and felt it was amusing. It seemed that she had cast a lifetime shadow on her.

“Stand up. I’m not a bloodthirsty devil. I won’t blame you for such a petty thing.”
