Chapter 323 Driving Pearl Away (1/2)

“Well, you can leave now.”

Without looking at her, Lin Mengya walked out and took Baisu back to her main room.

As they just entered the room, she found a small jade bottle with a narrow neck near the head of her bed, as if by magic.

“Quickly eat it. And later, give the 10th prince and those servants one each. Hurry to ask Fanglan to come in.”

Lin Mengya poured out a fragrant little pill from the small bottle. Without any hesitation and doubt, Baisu immediately swallowed it.

With a look of solemnity in her eyes, Lin Mengya did not expect that the situation was so critical. The troubles came one after another.

By the time she recovered herself, Baisu had already pulled Fanglan into the room.

Lin Mengya hurriedly grabbed her hand, took her pulse, and then had her take a pill. After that, Fanglan also became a little worried.

“Princess, what you are…”

Before Fanglan finished her words, Lin Mengya first gave the instructions.

“Don’t touch anything that has ever been touched by Pearl. Replace those things that are public and fungible. As for those that cannot be replaced, boil them in boiling water for at least half an hour. Tomorrow, I’ll ask people of the Imperial Hospital to send some argyi wormwood leaves here. Remember, you must burn argyi wormwood leaves everywhere in the yard. None of you can stop unless I say so. It’s a matter of life and death, so you must be very careful. Besides, it is not suitable for the 10th prince to stay with me, and it’s better to send him back to Concubine Xian. These days, Concubine Xian should have made enough trouble, and the 10th prince should also be safe.”

Being bombarded with Lin Mengya’s instructions, Baisu and Fanglan almost felt that they could not keep all these things in their minds.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya’s arrangements were very reasonable. So the two maids immediately split up and began to act.

In the main room, Lin Mengya looked horribly sullen.

Just as soon as she met Pearl, the Shen Nung system started to sound the alarm automatically. But this time, it was not just about poison.

“Pearl, Agate, my master has said that she wants to concentrate on studying prescriptions these days and doesn’t need too many people to serve her. So you can go back and wait for other orders.”

Baisu was still the same as before. She followed Lin Mengya’s instructions and tried not to arouse the vigilance of Pearl and Agate.

She had thought that the two maids would be pleased.

But she did not expect that Pearl would change her face and then say with a little uneasiness, “Just let Agate go back. Her Highness is honorable, and I’m afraid that Miss Baisu will be too busy. Anyway, I’ve already gotten used to serving Her Highness. Won’t it be more convenient for me to stay here?”

Baisu had not expected that Pearl would not want to leave.

It was so weird. “Did not they always expect Master’s leaving so that they could find another good job? But today…”

However, her master’s orders were the most important. So although Pearl was unwilling, Baisu still insisted on dismissing them, saying that no one could disobey the princess’s orders.

Pearl lowered her head, but a vicious look of unwillingness flashed across her eyes.

She moved her eyes and seemed to have a good idea. Thereafter, her expression instantly changed to that of being reluctant.

She said, “Since it’s Her Highness’s order, we’ll naturally obey it. It’s just that we’ve been here for a while. Can we kowtow to the princess before we leave? It’s also the rules of the palace that cannot be easily abolished. Miss Baisu, please let us do that.”

Baisu hesitated for a moment and quickly exchanged a look with Lin Mengya, who had been looking at her the whole time in the room.

After seeing that her master had nodded, Baisu said with a little displeasure, “All right, since you’ve said so, then go. However, you have to be more careful and don’t upset my master.”

Although she said this, Baisu kept strict vigilance over Pearl.

If she dared to offend her master, Baisu would surely bring Pearl under control as soon as possible.

Since they had just come here to work temporarily, Pearl and Agate actually did not have much baggage.

All their bits and pieces were merely packaged into a small bundle.

After tacitly packing up, these two people went to the main room and kowtowed to Lin Mengya as a greeting.

“Cough, cough, cough—”

Before they entered the room, Lin Mengya, who seated in the head seat, heard a fit of rapid coughing.

She just glanced at Pearl’s flushed face and then continued to sit in the chair, drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

“Come in.”

Only after coming to an agreement with Lin Mengya did they dare to kneel down before her.

After kowtowing to her, Pearl suddenly raised her head and vigorously coughed as if she could not control herself.

It sounded as if she was going to cough her lungs out the next moment. Seeing her like this, Lin Mengya’s eyebrows moved together slightly.

“Since you’ve been so sick, just have a good rest. You don’t have to worry about me. Baisu and Fanglan will take care of me. Agate, go back and ask someone to find her an imperial physician. After all, she got the illness here. No matter how much money she needs, just say it. Well, since Pearl needs a rest, you can leave now.”

At this moment, Pearl was almost choking with her vigorous coughing.
