Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 185 Mr. Genius

“I will take him there as soon as possible. But don’t tell others about me.”

An invisible sorrow flashed in Yunzhu’s eyes.

“Okay, that’s settled.”

Lin Mengya hated invading the privacy of others, especially someone like Yunzhu whose sorrow even she could not identify with.

As long as Yunzhu was useful to her, she didn’t care about anything else.

“Okay. Moran told me that many killers who served in Peach Blossom Dock have been contacted. Now, we need a name.”

Yunzhu quickly adjusted to the position of governor and worked on it.

Lin Mengya thought for a while and then gently said,

“Big Three Hall. It is a drugstore, but in fact, it is Big Three Hall.”

Yunzhu was excited. Big Three Hall sounded quite extraordinary.

“If someone asks for medical help, they have to pass three trials. You will choose the top three from the winners, and call them Mr. Genius. Vagabonds have to pass the three trials before they join Big Three Hall or ask for medical help.”

Lin Mengya set a high standard. Common people would buy nothing but drugs of high quality from Big Three Hall.

It was only poisoning that she did well in.

Common people would hardly ever ask for that.

Therefore, she just needed to show up when necessary.

The money from detoxifying others in the drugstore would be enough to run Big Three Hall well.

Those itinerant wanderers were all rich enough.

It would be stupid of Lin Mengya not to make use of them and make a fortune.

“I see, Master. Believe me, I will definitely run Big Three Hall well. Master, I think it would be better if you go to Big Three Hall on a fixed schedule. You know, it’s difficult to enter your house.”

Lin Mengya knew what Yunzhu meant. Night was guarding her.

Night, who never eavesdropped on her, kept his eyes on whoever came into her house in case of any contingency.

Her identity would be exposed sooner or later if Yunzhu became a frequent visitor here.

It would therefore be better to handle the affairs of Big Three Hall on a fixed schedule.

“I will go there on the first and fifth day of every month. Remember, don’t talk to others about me. You are the owner of Big Three Hall.”

Lin Mengya thought herself to be a bad leader.

Therefore, she would like someone capable of governing to do that thing.

Yunzhu nodded. After talking for a while longer, she silently left.

Lin Mengya opened the window and a gust of cool wind made her huddle up into her robe.

These days, she had been living such a soul-stirring life.

Someone kept planning to hurt her whether in public or in private.

“Be careful. You’ll get a cold.”

In the moonlight, a figure in black approached.

The wind blew his long hair up, and his face looked indifferent but still handsome.

Lin Mengya placed her hand under her chin and gave him a tender smile.

“Why did you come here so late?”

Long Tianhao wanted to ask this himself. He had tried every means to fall asleep, but he failed tonight.

And then, he unconsciously wandered into her place with a lantern.

In the light, she looked graceful, quiet, and as elegant as a fairy on earth.

She was not wearing any ornament on her head, perhaps because she was going to bed, but it made her look beautifully lazy.

Long Tianhao was surprised by her beauty, and a current of warmth rippled in his heart.

“I...just don’t want to sleep.”

‘Losing sleep?’ Lin Mengya naturally opened the door and waited for Long Tianhao the way a real wife would do.

“Are you worried about Concubine De?”

Concubine De had been kept in the Palace for a couple of days now. Long Tianhao requested many close officials to inquire after her, only to be told that the Empress only talked about the old days with Concubine De.

Anxiety fermented in their minds.

‘What old days did they have? Were they actually even that close?’

“Yes. My people told me that everything is fine in the Palace. Mother was seen in the Palace of the Empress every day. They said that the doctor treated Mother because she caught a cold.”

Sitting on the warm bed, Long Tianhao seemed a little tired.

There was rarely time for both of them to stay with each other quietly. His tone turned even more tender.

“I believe the Empress dares not do something to Concubine De publicly. Many people have their eyes on her now, after all. Perhaps Concubine De really had a cold. Oh, have you checked the doctor’s record?”

Long Tianhao nodded. He had already checked.

It stated that Concubine De caught a cold.

On the surface, there was nothing wrong.

“We had better wait and see. Don’t worry, Your Highness, if they really wanted to do something, Concubine De will not let them. Concubine De is more powerful than she seemed these past years.”

Lin Mengya comforted him in a gentle tone, but she felt worried as well.

The Empress was second only to the Emperor.

She possessed supreme power in Dajin.

Every time she met the Empress, Lin Mengya would be on guard for all possible danger.

The Empress was the only one who made her feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

The Empress was unusual.

“Mother has sacrificed a lot for me even since I was young.”

Tonight, Long Tianhao did talk to Lin Mengya about his past for no reason.

Perhaps it was because the quietness at night aroused his fragility deep inside no matter how strong he looked outside.

Or maybe it was because only Lin Mengya, in such a grand mansion, could understand his concerns about his mother.

From the very first sentence, his memories began to flood out.

“Mother became the most beloved, unique concubine of my father upon her arrival at the Palace. Father also put great hope on me. I believe I was hated by the Empress and the Crown Prince at that time.”

Lin Mengya listened attentively. No one would know the truth about those things happening in the Palace other than the people involved.

However, she found something unusual.

Since Concubine De had a connection with Prince Lingnan, it was unlikely that the Emperor would not care about it no matter how generous he might be.

However, according to what Concubine De and Long Tianhao had told her, she believed that the Emperor really loved both of them.

“What on earth happened before?”

“Your Highness, don’t worry.”

Lin Mengya had noticed that Long Tianhao would subconsciously make a fist every time he felt nervous.

Lin Mengya reached out over the table and covered his fist with her slender hands.

The coldness of his hands made her feel distressed.

He had built a high wall from others with his indifferent look.

No one really tried their best to look beyond that wall and see the soft heart hidden behind it.

The warmth passed between their skins.

He turned his head, only to see her light smile in the light.

“You will save Concubine De from there.”

Her soft voice conveyed her undoubting faith in him.

Long Tianhao had never been surrounded by such warm softness.

He unconsciously held her soft hands.

He held on so tight as if he never wanted to let go.

“Your Highness—”

She called him tenderly and shyly.

It was her first time to be stared at so eagerly by a man.

She blushed. Lin Mengya, who never got embarrassed by anything, lowered her head shyly.

Weird. What was wrong with her?

“May...may I sleep here tonight?”

Long Tianhao suddenly asked. His voice was lowered as well.

He didn’t want to be alone. He would at least have her with him if he stayed here.

Looking at her earlobes that were so red it was as if they were bleeding, Long Tianhao couldn’t help but raise his hands to rub her soft chin.

“May I?”

No one would be able to refuse such a deep voice.

Lin Mengya, who was staring into his alluring eyes, felt dizzy as if she were drunk.

“Yes, five hundred taels for one night.”

Having said such shameless words in a tender fashion, even Lin Mengya would want to hide dig a hole and hide.

“Oh no! “‘She had wanted to say no.

Long Tianhao paused and then cracked a smile.

“Deal. But I didn’t carry cash. What about a check?”

“Such a little girl would not let go of any chance to earn money.

“Five hundred taels? Oh, a little expensive.”

“Fine. Give it to me first.”

She smilingly reached out her hands. Such a profiteer.

She would leave her shyness behind when it came to money.

Long Tianhao looked at his little girl with a big smile and thought to himself.

It seemed his wife was unusually enthusiastic about money.

His hand found nothing as it reached into his chest.

Then, he realized that money was always placed in his outer clothes, and he was currently wearing his casual clothes.

“Um...Can I give it to you tomorrow morning? I forgot to carry it with me.”

He spread out his hands and pleaded sheepishly.

However, Lin Mengya, who was still smiling, showed an apologetic expression.

“Sorry. No credit here!”

In the darkness, Long Tianhao, who had been pushed out by Lin Mengya, helplessly watched his little girl closing the door.

“Oh my goodness!

“I was driven out by my wife, just because I had no money.”

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Little girl, she really loves money, not the person.”

While Long Tianhao was seriously considering whether or not it would be necessary to carry hundreds of taels with him in the future, a figure silently appeared next to him.

“Master, we found something in the Palace.”

Instantly, Long Tianhao turned back into the cold and ruthless Prince Yu.

He indifferently stared at Night who was clad in black.

“What is it?”

Night knelt on the ground and calmly replied.

“There is news from the Palace that Aunt Jinyue died from a sudden illness at nightfall.”

“What ?!”

Long Tianhao could not conceal the astonishment in his eyes.

“When she entered the palace this time, Mother was only accompanied by Jinyue and Jingyue.”

“Had mother been—”
