Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 716 - Leave the Capital City

Chapter 716 Leave the Capital City

“Please thank my teacher for me and tell him to be careful. I think Yunzhu seems to have an ulterior motive. My intuition tells me that she truly loves my teacher, but now that she has betrayed my teacher regardless of her affection for him, she must have hidden something complicated,” Lin Mengya said.
Women’s intuitions were always accurate. She could tell Yunzhu’s sincere affection for her teacher in Yunzhu’s eyes every time Yunzhu saw her teacher.
However, she was leaving soon. Although Yunzhu acted normally, she could only ask someone else to protect her teacher.
“Women’s thoughts are the most unpredictable. When Yunzhu was the most popular courtesan in the Capital City, countless men fell for her, who even held an unshakable position in the Peach Blossom Dock. If it were not for that incident, she probably would have been the master of Peach Blossom Dock,” Qinghu said.
He rarely brought up his past experience. Even when he mentioned it, he usually talked in a relaxed and joyful tone.
Given his serious tone, it seemed that Yunzhu’s strength must not be underestimated back then.
“How could she, who attracted men with her beauty, find her true love? If those men really loved her, they wouldn’t have left her in such a miserable situation. Speaking of this, when we tried to recruit her, she once asked me to treat someone who was poisoned. But later, she dropped the idea and never mentioned it again. I’m wondering if it has something to do with this person,” Lin Mengya said.
She, who had a good memory, had kept many pieces of information Yunzhu inadvertently disclosed in her mind.
Of course, Qinghu knew how much Baili Rui meant to Lin Mengya. He nodded seriously and told her to go to bed earlier before he went out to inquire about the situation.
Although the small hut was a temporary accommodation, it was equipped with all kinds of necessities and furniture.
Lin Mengya lay on the bed with her clothes on. There was only a wall between her parents’ home and this place. As long as she changed her mind a little, she could go home after pushing the door open.
However, she suppressed the urge and forced herself to fall asleep.
If she kept staying here, they would only end up with misery. It was better to leave quietly.
If the most unfortunate thing really happened, they could live with the hope that she was still alive.
She didn’t know how long it took her to fall asleep, but she had dreams all night long.
Some of these dreams were about memories of her life over the past more than twenty years, and some were about memories of the life of this body before she came to this world.
Lin Mengya felt as if she were on a small boat alone, drifting up and down in the sea of dreams.
Woken up by the sounds of firecrackers, Lin Mengya, who was a light sleeper, opened her eyes and rubbed the spot between her eyebrows with a frown.
The day was just dawning, and it was a good time to go to the bride’s home to escort her to the wedding.
Her father and brother should still be busy at home. But as soon as Lin Mengwu’s bridal sedan chair left, they would leave quietly with Hongyu and several loyal servants.
After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya got up, put on a pair of soft shoes, and walked out of the courtyard.
Qinghu must have expected this, so he chose the courtyard at the end of the alley.
Once she opened the door, she could see the wedding procession through the alley.
Lin Mengya looked around to make sure that there was no one else around, and then stuck out half of her head through the door.
Although she looked out through the small alley, she still found the red wedding procession outside lively and dazzling.
Almost everyone on the crowded street was watching the Lin Family marry off the Second Miss.
When the First Miss of the Lin Family married Prince Yu, her wedding procession seemed a little poor.
Now the Second Miss was marrying into a well-known rich family in the Capital City with more than twenty chests of dowries, so it was quite a magnificent scene.
Lin Mengya stood at the door and just watched it coldly.
Today she finally made Lin Mengwu pay for what she had done back then.
Whether Lin Mengwu could win her husband’s favor depended on her fate.
“What do you think of it? Quite a magnificent scene, isn’t it?” Suddenly, Qinghu’s voice came from behind.
Lin Mengya turned around and saw him standing behind her in high spirits.
He had been busy all night long, but he was more energetic than her, who had slept all night long.
Fortunately, she had gotten used to it.
She curled her lip and turned to walk into the yard, while saying, “Quite a magnificent scene. But I’m curious. Isn’t the Eldest Young Master He still in the Lixiang House? If the He Family fails to get him back, won’t they make a spectacle of themselves?”
In fact, it was the Eldest Young Master He’s fault for visiting a brothel the day before his wedding.
Lin Mengya was not surprised. After all, he, who took several concubines at the critical moment when he was about to get married, was definitely not a common man.
“Don’t worry. One of his menservants and the pimp of the Lixiang House are from the same place. Now the Eldest Young Master He has been carried home. Nevertheless, he drank a lot last night, so I’m not sure if he can get up and perform the wedding ceremony,” Qinghu said.
Things were getting increasingly interesting. Lin Mengya smiled, but it was a pity that she couldn’t go to see the farce between them in person as she was in a rush.
“Well, it’s time for us to go. Last night Long Tianyu has gotten out of the city to lead the peace envoy into the city. Let’s leave while the streets are crowded so that we won’t attract much attention,” Qinghu said.
Now, the He Family and the Shangguan Family were in the spotlight.
Although the bride was from the Lin Family, the Lin Family had kept a low profile since the marriage was determined, so they were out of the spotlight now.
Since Shangguan Qingyu turned against the Shangguan Family, the Shangguan Family had been meat on the chopping block.
The Emperor and the other forces were all keeping an eye on the Shangguan Family’s every move.
Today, if they could suppress their indignation and let Lin Mengwu marry into the He Family, they might be able to win some time before their collapse.
If they couldn’t bear it and went to the He Family to take Lin Mengwu away, it would offer the Emperor an opportunity to give them combined punishment for several offenses.
It should be noted that in ancient times, a marriage was arranged by parents’ order and on the matchmaker’s word. Lin Mengwu was the daughter of the Lin Family rather than the Shangguan Family!
As Lin Mengwu’s bridal sedan chair left, people gradually moved their attention from the Lin Family.
In an inconspicuous corner of the street, an inconspicuous carriage moved in the opposite direction.
The horses lifted their hooves and stamped on the street with the clip-clop sounds.
The coachman, dressed in steel grey clothes, looked inconspicuous. However, when he lifted his head occasionally, there was a serious expression on his cold and handsome face.
As the carriage sped on the streets, Lin Mengya, who was in the carriage, did not feel very nervous.
It was during the Spring Sacrificial Rite, and lots of civilians had streamed into the Capital City early in the morning to purchase some articles for the Spring Sacrificial Rite and watch the fun.
Qinghu took a path with only a few pedestrians. Along the way, they did not meet any acquaintance.
She somehow felt empty. Perhaps she, who was used to the lively Liuxin Courtyard, was not used to being alone.
The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the city. Plenty of people came in, while only a few went out.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief after they got out of the city smoothly.
“Look! That’s the peace envoy from the Nan’an State!” Someone said inadvertently outside the carriage.
On hearing this, Lin Mengya felt her heart tremble terribly, subconsciously lifted the curtain of the carriage and stared dazedly at the figure on a horse alongside Mao Yuze not far away.
He had fine features and was dressed in a black court robe, which made him look even more handsome.
He showed a cold face with no expression.
He kept an aloof look except when talking with Mao Yuze in a low voice occasionally.
In the past, Lin Mengya would have teased him about his poker face.
But who would have thought that such an aloof person would show his sorrow, misery and infatuation in front of her?
It was not until now that she realized how much she loved this man.
If possible, she would like to exchange everything she had for the chance to stay with him forever.
“That’s Prince Yu! I heard that he is the most handsome man in the Capital City!”
“Exactly! What’s more, his legal wife has been demoted. I’m wondering which Miss is so lucky to win his favor!”
Hearing the discussion, Lin Mengya stiffened for a moment with her face becoming gloomy.
Seeing Long Tianyu getting closer and closer to her, she could only let down the curtain silently and get into the carriage.
Qinghu, who had seen what had happened, glanced at those middle-aged women, who were indulging in gossiping around them, and said impatiently in a cold voice with a sneer, “No Miss can replace Princess Yu. Don’t you know that all of Prince Yu’s assets are in Princess Yu’s hands? Whether Prince Yu will marry someone else is up to Princess Yu rather than Prince Yu. Don’t gossip about something you don’t know.”
Those gossiping women were just about to retort, but they were deterred by the coldness in Qinghu’s slanted eyes.
Qinghu snorted lightly and ignored these gossipy women.
He cracked the rein and drove the carriage away from this place of troubles.
“Thank you, Qinghu.” All of a sudden, a faint voice came from inside the carriage.
Qinghu showed some distress in his eyes, but held it back after a while.
“I’m serious. Don’t worry. All our traveling expenses are deducted from that guy’s assets. If he dares to cheat on you, we’ll take his money and turn him into a poor guy, who has a good appearance only! In that case, no one will marry him!” He said in a fierce tone he feigned.
Lin Mengya finally showed a smile in the carriage.
