Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 759 - Makeover

Chapter 759 Makeover

Lin Mengya understood the situation.
She smacked her lips. The past events between Xiaoyu’s parents now sounded like watching a fairy tale of a princess and a prince.
However, at the end of the fairy tale, the wicked stepmother and sisters would all suffer punishment. They would definitely not dare to be so cocky?
It was obvious that reality was always crueler than fairy tales.
Even if Xiaoyu’s parents were a rare pair of true love, but with the pressure of various forces, it eventually turned into a scandalous royal drama.
She had always liked happy endings, be it a novel or a TV program.
Thus naturally, she didn’t want to see Xiaoyu’s parents end up like a pair of desperate star-crossed lovers.
Besides, she might need the help of Xiaoyu’s parents if she wanted to achieve her goal.
“I’ve heard so much from you, but there’s one thing I don’t understand. Since both the Xin family and those rich families are capable of turning the world upside down in the Lieyun Empire, why don’t they just send their troops and start a war? Why are they so intent on orthodoxy?”
Lin Mengya had always wondered about that.
According to Xiaoyu’s account, the Xin family had pushed Xiaoyu’s father beyond limits. If it were her, she would definitely start retaliating. Anything would be better than this kind of mind battle.
Xiaoyu looked embarrassed. It took her quite a while to tell Lin Mengya the whole story.
It turned out that it was because the folk customs of the Lieyun Empire were too tough.
Lieyun was quite unique, in that most of the country belonged to the primitive tribes.
It might have something to do with the geographical location of Lieyun. After all, if poisonous animals could live there, the environment had to be quite bad.
Therefore, the ones to decide who would sit on the throne would be the leaders of these tribes.
And these leaders were also very strange. No matter how many noble families tried to rope them in, they refused to yield.
The only thing they acknowledged was the so-called orthodoxy of the royal family.
Therefore, the Xin family had taken a risk setting up such a thing.
Well… Lin Mengya sighed again, covering her forehead. These ambitious men of Lieyun had really been wronged.
It was not possible for the military to use force, or to pressure the emperor to abdicate, which greatly limited everyone’s ability to take the throne.
“I see. Now I’m beginning to get the picture. Since I’m going back with you, I’m definitely not going to sit around and do nothing. It’s almost dawn. Let’s get a move on.”
The sky outside the cave had just brightened. The siblings chatted all night, and the fire was gradually burning out.
After being pricked by the cold wind outside, all the drowsiness was gone.
Lin Mengya stood up. Although the poison in her body had just been neutralized, she felt much better.
According to her estimation, it was because the poison in the pool had accidentally become a great tonic for her.
Therefore, even after staying up all night, apart from a little redness in her eyes, she was alright.
“How about you pretend to be my servant? The people at the foot of the mountain all work for Long Tianyu and Qinghu. That way, if we run into them, it will be easier for me to escape.”
Although Xiaoyu had planned another way down the mountain, Long Tianyu and Qinghu were always meticulous in what they do. If they ran into and the men recognized them, it would be hard for them to fight their own people.
Lin Mengya nodded, then put on her cloak, and took the copper mask from Xiaoyu.
She was now well-disguised. No one could tell that she was the woman who should still be sleeping at the bottom of the pool.
Today’s weather was especially sunny. The snow-capped mountain was shining with silver light. In fact, Lin Mengya had never seen such a magnificent snow mountain.
Compared to the dull mood when she was going up the mountain, she felt more relaxed at this moment.
The two of them walked and stopped all the way. The two-day journey was not too difficult for them.
When they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lin Mengya finally felt relieved.
After all, they were in the Nation of Dongxia. Even with Long Tianyu’s ability, locking down the Qijue Peak in such a short amount of time was still very difficult and they managed to find an escape route.
Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu finally left the Qijue Peak safely.
Looking at the snow mountain behind her, Lin Mengya sighed softly.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Zhongyu’s men had already prepared a horse carriage. Once she got on the horse carriage, she would head north towards the contrary direction from whence she came.
At a time like this, what was she hesitating for?
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya shook off those weak thoughts and got into the carriage without any hesitation. What would come was going to come no matter what.
It was not until now that Lin Mengya realized how much Xiaoyu had changed without her around.
Seeing how he was giving orders, even those subordinates who were much older than him listened and admired him very much. Although she felt sorry for him, she was still a little proud.
After all, Xiaoyu was her younger brother!
Although the Nation of Dongxia was very strict with foreigners, it was not difficult for them to sneak out.
Along the way, Lin Mengya and Lin Zhongyu pretended to be a pair of brothers traveling together on holiday. They were out and about walking around, and did not attract anyone’s attention.
However, Xiaoyu had become much more isolated recently. He usually liked to stay by her side when he had nothing to do. Perhaps it was because this child’s mind had matured too much and lacked the liveliness of a teenager.
Lin Mengya could not help but feel sorry for him.
“What are your arrangements for me when we get to Lieyun this time?”
In the past few days, Xiaoyu had occasionally mentioned that he had his own mansion in Lieyun. So when she got there, she would naturally stay with him.
But after thinking for a while, Lin Mengya shook her head and felt that it was not appropriate.
“Sis, do you have any reservations about staying with me? Do you not want to?”
Xiaoyu was a little impatient. He certainly knew what kind of life she had living in Prince Yu’s Mansion.
Not to mention that he would definitely not let his sister suffer any grievance while staying with him.
Lin Mengya simply smiled and patted his head to comfort him. She was not the kind of person who only wanted to enjoy life. She was worried that if she was protected by Xiaoyu again, she would become his burden.
“That’s not what I meant. I just think that you’re in a very difficult situation now. If I stay with you, someone will definitely scheme something. You very well know those bad things would happen if my identity were exposed.”
Xiaoyu wanted to say something more to persuade his sister, but after thinking about it, he felt that her words made sense.
He opened his mouth, but did not know what to say for the moment.
“Why don’t you send me to the palace? Think about it, if you bring back an elder sister, others will definitely find it strange. But if you sent a maid to your mother, who would ask questions? Besides, as your mother’s maid, it’s natural that I go and see you on your mother’s orders. No one would notice anything suspicious.”
Lin Mengya had made up her mind for a while already. Although she had seen the benefits of having a prominent identity in the past few days, there was also a lot of trouble that came along with it.
Not to mention that she was now a person who was supposed to be dead. So she should be laying low.
By staying with Xiaoyu’s mother, she could see Xiaoyu often. And since she was sent by Xiaoyu, his mother naturally trusted her very much. This way, she could be of some help to him.
“That’s a good idea. A while ago, Uncle Lie was looking for some loyal and reliable maids for my mother. If you go there, she will definitely be happy. However, you must be very careful in the palace. I will go to see you often. When you are in trouble, just mention my mother’s name.”
Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled as he said happily.
Lin Mengya pressed down on his body, which seemed about to jump up. She had just praised him for being mature, but now the excitement made him turn back into a child again.
She had been to the palace before.
But this time, it would be more exhilarating since she had to personally experience some things.
Although a fierce battle for power was breaking out in the Lieyun Palace at present, with her personality, few people could bully her even if she was a maid.
Along the way, the two of them planned out her new identity and what they would say.
Xiaoyu, in the shortest time, was now fully prepared for Lin Mengya’s new identity.
Fortunately, she was a master of poison. In all the countries, all the Poison-making Doctors were considered to be closely related to the Lieyun Empire.
The false identity which Xiaoyu had chosen for her was that of an ordinary tribal woman.
Moreover, each tribe was very isolated. It was normal that they had never seen her before. Even if there was an investigation, they would not find any conclusive evidence.
In this way, no one would be able to expose her true identity.
“If that’s the case, I’m relieved. I’ll try my best to help your mother in the palace.”
Although Xiaoyu didn’t say it, she could still sense from his words his deep respect and love for these parents whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Plus, if they hadn’t endured the pain and sent him out of Lieyun back then, Xiaoyu wouldn’t have lived to see her.
Xiaoyu said that since he returned to the Lieyun Empire, his parents had almost risked their lives for him.
The two of them had given him all that they had saved up over the course of their lives.
This time when Xiaoyu came out to investigate the whereabouts of the dragon bone, his parents were worried, but they did not stop him. Instead, they supported all his decisions.
Even she could sense that the two of them truly loved Xiaoyu.
Speaking of the dragon bone, Xiaoyu also confessed to her that he had used the secret of the Candle Dragon Cult to deceive Long Tianyu and Qinghu.
But as for what the dragon bone was used for, and why Xiaoyu had to procure it, Lin Mengya tried to find out but he changed the subject every time she tried to ask him.
He just said that the dragon bone had something to do with a secret in Lieyun. If they could get their hands on it, then taking the throne would be a piece of cake.
Given that he was the youngest and without a stable foundation, he had to use such shortcuts if he wanted to beat out others.
