Chapter 314 The Plan Worked (1/2)

Poisoning, drowning, and even suffering from smallpox or chickenpox could all kill this baby. But why was it after Yinghua was five years old that these people tried to murder him in such a noticeable way?

If it were not because these people had gotten angry, it would have to be because they were brewing a bigger scheme.

As time was running out, they had to eliminate all the thorns in their eyes in the quickest way. And then their scheme would begin.

In fact, the scheme should have been perfect. Unfortunately, they did not expect the effect of Lin Mengya.

In the palace, Concubine Xian made use of this situation to pick on them. And out of the palace, Long Tianyu wanted to replace all the people in the Imperial Hospital. Therefore, that was the real problem that bothered those people.

Only by making a risky move could she attack her enemy when they were unprepared.

“Indeed. Master, it seems that we have to see the emperor as soon as possible.”

Baisu naturally knew the complicated relationships and implications in this matter. But what worried Lin Mengya more was that if the emperor was really beyond recovery, how could she protect the Lin family and Long Tianyu in this game?

After three more days, people in the Imperial Hospital were finally pushed too far. Early in the morning, Minister Su, who had just entered the palace, personally brought people to invite Lin Mengya.

Although Minister Su showed nothing wrong on the surface, he had to be angry with her to the extreme in his mind. However, Lin Mengya had always been very kind, preventing him from losing his temper.

“In fact, I’m here to apologize to Your Highness. These days, many matters have been delayed because I’m on leave. I naturally should be punished. But the emperor’s body is not in good health, His Majesty’s business could not be delayed at the moment. Your Highness, you’re so kind and generous. Please come to the Imperial Hospital and discuss the medications with us.”

Seated at the head seat, Lin Mengya just shot him a glance. Thereafter, she gracefully lifted from the table a white teacup with green flower patterns on it and took a sip of the fragrant Yelanchun tea.

“Relax. The medications for His Majesty need to be considered over and over again. I know well about my slight talent and superficial scholarship, how could I compare with the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital? Why doesn’t the court go back and discuss it with your physicians? As for me, I will find a time to report to the queen and leave the palace as soon as possible.”

If these words were said by others, they would be full of jealousy.

But when Lin Mengya said them, she sounded extremely sincere.

Minister Su felt a sense of bitterness rise in his heart. He had thought that Princess Yu was only a young and ignorant junior. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a ruthless person, a backstabber.

A little bit of sweat came out of his forehead, and he became a little hurried. What Lin Mengya said was simple and clear, so he could not refute her easily.

“You’re too modest, Your Highness. This is exactly what is called when one might have learned the doctrine earlier than the other, or might be a master in his own special field. Although we are much older than the princess, we’re not as skilled as you in the field of acupuncture. The health of the emperor is related to the well-being of people all over the world. Your Highness, please don’t decline, take the commoners into your consideration. ”

Lin Mengya sneered silently. When it came to the ability to talk nonsense, she really could not compare with Minister Su.

Seeing that she did not buy those emotional words, he started talking about the fate of the nation and people. Ridiculous. These people took their salary from the country, but they tried every means to fill their own pockets and did so many ugly things. Now, they even could say these high-sounding words out loud.

Nevertheless, she got what she wanted anyway. If they were pushed too hard, things might backfire.

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and pretended to be thoughtful.

After pretending to be vexed for a while, she eventually nodded unwillingly. However, before Minister Su felt happy, she added a few words.

“But I’m so young and ignorant. If I’m wrong, I’ll be the guilty person who makes trouble for the nation and the people. Minister Su, you see…”

Lin Mengya frowned slightly and a fearful look appeared in her innocent watery eyes. If Minister Su did not already clearly know that the seemingly gentle woman in front of him was the chief culprit who made the Imperial Hospital be beleaguered, he might have really felt that he was giving her a hard time.

But now, since he asked her for help, he could only bow his head and ask for mercy.

“Your Highness, you’re worrying too much. Since the medications are for the emperor, we naturally have to check the case histories and take the pulse. Only after that could we write the prescription. Therefore, as long as the princess and the imperial physicians are careful and cautious, it should be all right.”

The craftiest old fox could not escape the skilled hunter.

Lin Mengya was satisfied in her mind, but her eyes always showed a look of worry. After letting out a long sigh, she seemed to have made up her mind.

“All right. Since I came to the palace to treat the emperor, I cannot go back without accomplishing anything. My prince is perfect, but he is too stubborn. No one can change the things that he has already decided.”

Pretending to be in a dilemma, Lin Mengya already laughed in her heart.

Now, she was very curious about what exactly Long Tianyu had done to make these people so obedient. It seemed that there were many things she had to learn from Long Tianyu on the way to control the beast.

After the matter with Lin Mengya was settled, Minister Su naturally returned to the Imperial Hospital with excitement.

Lin Mengya promised him that she would go back to the Imperial Hospital tomorrow. However, on the matter of if they would be spared, Lin Mengya also pointed out that it did not depend on her.

After sending Minister Su away, Lin Mengya sat in the room drinking tea. Suddenly, a pair of little hands grabbed her skirt hemline and shook it gently.

She lowered her head and found that it was the naughty Long Yinghua.

His face was dusty. He must have crawled under the table nearby to eavesdrop when she was not paying attention.

This little guy was very clever. In front of outsiders, he was autistic, sensitive, easily cried, and became noisy. It was said that once he almost smashed Pearl’s head with a bowl.
