Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 312 - A Dangerous Game

Chapter 312 A Dangerous Game

Long Yinghua was just in the period when children were active. The yard was so small that it was not big enough for him to run around in happily.
At the moment, he agreed to Lin Mengya’s request.
“However, I don’t think you can do this at your age. What to do? I think I’m going to win before even playing.”
In order to make the child take it more seriously, Lin Mengya deliberately put on a look of worry.
The little fellow immediately vowed. It seemed that he insisted on having it out with Lin Mengya. Seeing the good situation, Lin Mengya immediately talked about the rules of the game.
“Okay, from now on, promise me that before I say the game is over, if you talk to anyone, you lose!”
Lin Mengya’s confident look on her face aroused the fighting spirit of this little man.
With his little fist clenched, the little prince looked unconvinced.
“No problem! I won’t talk to my nanny or mother. But what if someone asks me to talk?”
With his head cocked, the little guy was seriously thinking about various problems that might arise in this game.
“Then you can cry, or you can hit the person on their head with whatever you have next to you. But if you talk to them, you lose. Don’t think you can escape. In fact, all the people in this yard are here to play the game with you.
Lin Mengya did not want to explain all the dangers in the palace to the child in front of her.
Although Long Yinghua seemed to be vigorous and lively, she could still feel the boy’s panic through his eyes.
Fortunately, the child was rescued in time. Otherwise, he would have been destroyed.
“All right, it’s a deal!”
They gave each other a high-five as an oath. Lin Mengya looked at the grimace made by the little guy in front of her, but she still could not show a bright smile as happily as he did.
Hopefully, there would be no more shadow in this child’s life.
The behaviors of a frightened child were nothing more than crying at night and some personality changes.
After breakfast, Lin Mengya especially looked for the little prince’s nanny to ask her some questions. She found out that Long Yinghua used to be a lively and energetic child. And last night, he indeed cried after they fell asleep.
However, the nanny followed her orders and asked Pearl and Agate to do all the errands. Looking at the thick dark circles under the two girls’ eyes, she knew that the little guy did make a lot of noise last night.
It was not a good idea to let the little prince continue to cry. So Lin Mengya was left with no other choice but to use some extremely soft spices and make a kind of perfume that was harmless to the development of children. At least, Long Yinghua would have no more shadow in his dream.
She had only been away from the Imperial Hospital for two days, and there were more than three batches of people coming to Lin Mengya‘s door to invite her. But people in the yard had already received Baisu’s orders. To the Imperial Hospital and other guests, they just said that the princess had to take care of the 10th prince. So she had no energy to deal with them for the moment.
In the room, Lin Mengya was leisurely coaxing Long Yinghua to sleep. When seeing him sleeping cutely and quietly, Lin Mengya suddenly felt that it would be better to take care of children than be annoyed in the Imperial Hospital.
“Master, usually these imperial physicians eagerly wish that you wouldn’t go there. Why do they come to invite you now?”
Baisu was naturally surprised. Lin Mengya covered the little guy with a soft quilt and then quietly walked out of the room.
“They are not coming to invite me, but to ask for quarter and let me give them a chance to live. Do you really think I have such great power? It’s all because of the prince.”
Within two days, the game between Lin Mengya and Long Yinghua was in full swing.
The little fellow’s range of movement was limited. In addition to some fouls in the beginning, he was getting better today. In the game, there were punishments for mistakes and rewards for being right. As a matter of fact, before the little guy went to bed, he just got a piece of candy with pine nuts, which was usually forbidden to him by his mother. At this moment, he was probably dreaming of the sweet taste.
“The prince? What did the prince do? On that day—”
Lin Mengya nodded tacitly. She just said several words in Long Tianyu’s ear that day: “Take drastic measures and add insult to injury.”
The reason why the Imperial Hospital could be so arrogant was that all the powers in the palace were now trying to rope them in. But in the end, all the powers just wanted to understand and even control the emperor’s life through them.
However, although famous doctors were rare, they were not definitely unobtainable.
Part of the information written on that burned note said that a while ago, Long Tianyu did find many famous physicians because of Sanjue Hall. After being selected by Baili Rui, those bad physicians had been removed, and all those remaining were the best ones in the world.
It was unknown how Long Tianyu had convinced them. These people who were originally indifferent to fame and wealth all wanted to enter the palace and become imperial physicians.
And coupled with the emperor’s serious illness, Long Tianyu had more reasons to impeach them.
Therefore, Lin Mengya guessed that it must be because Long Tianyu took their ineffective treatment as the reason and discussed with the civil and military officials to overhaul the Imperial Hospital.
Those imperial physicians who were candidates were inextricably linked to the imperial physicians in the palace.
Some of them were enemies, and some were fellow disciples sharing a common teacher. Besides, they were all quite famous outside. The imperial physicians in the palace were incomparable.
Otherwise, these imperial physicians would not be so anxious to seek a relationship with her.
As they all knew that day in the Imperial Hospital, Prince Yu was given some pillow talk by Princess Yu for a while.
“Anyway, those arrogant imperial physicians finally know what it’s like to be anxious. So when would you like to see them, Master?”
As Baisu smiled and handed Lin Mengya a cup of tea, her eyes were full of admiration for the prince and princess. Although being tactfully rebuked did not hurt, she still felt annoyed.
“No hurry, if people don’t know the feeling of fear and anxiousness, they will never learn the lesson.”
Concubine Xian was so shrewd that she could use her riches and glory to make a deal with her. But it was about her life, and she was not the Goddess of Mercy who saved people from illness and torment. Why should she be so kind?
“By the way, come with me to visit Eunuch Yu of the Servants Administration. After all, thanks to Eunuch Yu, we didn’t freeze to death on our first night in the palace, did we?”
Lin Mengya was still relaxed. Nowadays, the more chaotic the situation was, the more benefits she could get from it.
Those imperial physicians must not just be coming to her to find solutions. But at the moment, no matter who they wanted to ask for help, they all seemed to be powerless.
Not wanting to be noticeable, Lin Mengya only put on a gray coat. Her raccoon-fur collar was of the highest quality brocade, making everyone unable to treat her with contempt.
It was rare for her to wear a piece of peony-shaped jewelry decorated with jadeite feathers on her head, and her necklace was strung with rubies. Even the concubines in the palace seldom dressed so delicately.
She finally learned that in the palace, people would give priority to the clothes over the people who wore them. Besides, the place she was going to was the Servants Administration. If she did not want to dress like a butterfly, she had to wear some decent jewelry.
It would be a shame to be kicked out without entering the room.
Lin Mengya was very thoughtful and brought some small gifts to Eunuch Yu. Working in the Servants Administration was a lucrative job, which was being in charge of the maids and eunuchs in the palace. Although Eunuch Yu was simply dressed, it seemed that he was not a simple person. She just had to avoid being impolite and making him feel annoyed.
Fortunately, the imperial physicians who came to beg for mercy could not keep watch on her yard all the time.
Finding a time when nobody was around, Lin Mengya and Baisu slipped out of the yard.
The Servants Administration was not far away, it was just a little isolated. It took Lin Mengya and Baisu at least half an hour to get there.
After asking several passing maids and eunuchs, they learned that Eunuch Yu lived in the innermost house of the Servants Administration. Somehow, every time they inquired about Eunuch Yu, the expressions of those maids and eunuchs appeared to be a bit off.
It seemed that they were afraid of Eunuch Yu.
Lin Mengya was a little puzzled. He was not a monster, so there was no need for them to be afraid like this.
They looked around for a while and finally found the yard that seemed to be Eunuch Yu’s residence. However, when standing at the door, they were a little stupefied.
This place was overgrown with grass and the door was half-broken. Was it really inhabited? In her opinion, it was more like a ghost house.
When gently pushing open the half of the door that was still intact, the creaking sound made Lin Mengya suddenly feel a sense like she was watching a horror film.
According to the pattern of horror films, after she entered through the door, the door should be shut with a bang behind her.
Baisu was brave enough to gently enter through the gate before she did.
“Excuse me, is Yu Qiang, Eunuch Yu, here? I’m the personal maidservant of Princess Yu. I have been ordered by the princess to come here to visit Eunuch Yu. Excuse me, is anyone there?”
In the empty yard, two rooms had even collapsed.
The more Lin Mengya looked at this place, the more she felt that it did not look like an inhabited place. But this was undoubtedly the place that those people had told them to go just now.
She forced herself to cross the threshold. But she pressed her body against the door to prevent it from suddenly closing.
No one responded, so Baisu became more emboldened. She went straight through the grassy atrium and went directly to push open the inner door.
“Eunuch Yu, are you in here? I’m the personal maidservant of Princess Yu coming here to visit you.”
Baisu just tried to open the door. But at this moment, there was a figure coming from the ruins of the collapsed house. Lin Mengya took a closer look and was finally relieved. This person was exactly Eunuch Yu!
“Miss, there are only mice and no people here. Why does Princess Yu come here? Please forgive me for not greeting you immediately.”
Different from the Eunuch Yu in Lin Mengya’s imagination, the person in front of her tied his half-worn long robe around his waist and carried a hoe over his shoulder. He looked more like an old farmer working in the field than a eunuch.
“Please don’t say that. I should have come to visit you long ago. However, people like us don’t have the luxury to do things on our own free will.”
