Chapter 320 The Loss of The Case History (1/2)
In the Imperial Hospital, everyone greeted Lin Mengya. They were so polite and respectful to her as if she were a Bodhisattva and they almost wanted to worship her.
Lin Mengya did not want to explain to them anymore. It was good that they kept a distance from her so that they could not make any more trouble for her.
When she left yesterday, although she did not lock her things up, she still made a small mark on them.
Although the traces were subtle, someone did go through her things. Lin Mengya silently sneered. And even if they really read it, they could not understand anything.
Someone must have cursed her in their mind last night. Who could they blame for their lack of education?
As Lin Mengya just arrived here, Su Tong came over with an apologetic expression.
He smiled first and greeted her and then said, “You have worked really hard for these several days, Your Highness. We’re going to feel His Majesty’s pulse tomorrow. Are you ready for that, Your Highness?”
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows. She thought that this man was coming to persuade her to not take the emperor’s pulse. But now, what did he really want?
Were they really convinced? Or did they plot another scheme against her and were waiting for her to fall into their trap?
Lin Mengya pondered for a moment and then put on a tender smile.
She patted the prescriptions on the table that they must have already seen and said, “I’m just going to learn from you and gain experience, so I’ve had nothing to prepare for. I just don’t want to be too embarrassed. Sorry that you saw these things.”
Su Tong showed nothing on his face, but his eyes flitted.
The reason why Lin Mengya said so must be that she already knew that they had peeked at her prescriptions.
This kind of thing was actually an old habit of the Imperial Hospital. They just wanted to know what Lin Mengya had on her mind, but they did not expect that the handwriting on the neat prescriptions would be so undecipherable. They did not understand even a word.
The more they came into contact with her, the more they felt that the Princess Yu in front of them was really as enigmatic as the rumors said.
Maybe from the beginning, they underestimated this little girl.
“You’re too modest. But checking His Majesty‘s pulse is a matter related to the rise and fall of the entire nation, so we have to be careful. Therefore, could you please take out the case history and let us study it together?”
So, he had come here to borrow things. Lin Mengya was really speechless to those who always beat about the bush.
She was not a hooligan or a bully. Did they really have to be mealy-mouthed like this?
“It’s all right. Baisu, go and take out His Majesty’s case history and send it to Lord Su.”
The case history was put in the brocade box, and Baisu was ordered to take it. But as soon as she had the box in her hand, her expression changed slightly.
“What happened?” Lin Mengya looked at Baisu with puzzlement and asked.
“Um… Doctor Su, I just remembered that my master still needs to use the case history today. I wonder if Doctor Su could borrow it later? I’ll send it to you as soon as my master is finished. Do you think that’s ok?”
What Baisu said surprised Su Tong.
And then he looked at Lin Mengya, wanting to confirm that with her.
“Look at how forgetful I am! This is what I told Baisu yesterday. There are still some things on the prescriptions that I need to think over.”
Although Lin Mengya did not know why Baisu said so, she cooperated with Baisu to lie.
This girl knew clearly about the order of priority. It must have been some accident that made her so quick-witted.
Since Princess Yu said so, Su Tong did not stick to his opinion and left.
There was only the master and servant pair left in the room. After exchanging knowing looks, Lin Mengya went with her to a corner facing the door.
In this way, people could not eavesdrop on what they were talking about, but they could clearly see what they were doing.
“Master, the emperor’s case history has disappeared.”
Her forehead was covered with beads of perspiration. Although Baisu did not know the rules in the palace, she still knew that anything related to the emperor was extraordinary.
“What? Disappeared? It shouldn’t be. I remember that I put it in the brocade box. Let’s keep looking. Remember, don’t alarm the people outside.”
Lin Mengya was secretly startled. It was no joke.
The case history was the medical history of the emperor.
Moreover, because of the sensitivity of identities, what was recorded above was not just about the emperor alone.
Some things were even royal secrets. Therefore, the case history of every emperor would even be taken to his mausoleum together after his death, not to mention being lost.
Now the case history was lost in Lin Mengya’s hands. She knew instantly what a serious crime she would be charged with.
Their searching was futile. Lin Mengya would never throw around such an important thing.
