Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 767 - The Magical Use of Morning Exercises

Chapter 767 The Magical Use of Morning Exercises
Madame Jingrou was very considerate and naturally knew what Lin Mengya was implying. They looked at each other as if reaching some kind of tacit understanding.
“From here on in, you’re Miss ‘Helan’, just like Ningqiu, who will be serving me. Ningqiu, go and gather everyone and make the announcement.”
Since Lin Mengya showed up in front of the Empress, any other identity would be suspicious.
Madam Jingrou’s arrangement had made Lin Mengya’s life a lot easier.
“Thank you, Madam. Please call me Helan in the future. Lin Mengya doesn’t exist anymore.”
The news of her “death” would soon spread to the Candle Dragon Cult.
Although Canying had died, it did not mean that no one would find out about this matter.
She had heard before that only in the Lieyun Empire, there were no minions of the Candle Dragon Cult.
However, according to what she knew so far, the reason why the Candle Dragon Cult was unable to infiltrate Lieyun was that the place had always adopted a family blood-line ruling method.
Even the courtiers were mostly from prominent families.
As for Lieyun, the Holy Land of Poison-making Doctors, blood line meant the inheritance of the venomous insect and the art of poison.
Therefore, it became extremely difficult to infiltrate.
But this did not mean that she was absolutely safe. Lin Mengya didn’t know what the words ‘by hook or by crook’ meant until she had dealt with the people of Candle Dragon Cult the past days.
They had very little regard for human life. So there were no constraints on what they would do.
Lin Mengya’s identity could not be exposed at all.
Otherwise, even Xiaoyu would be dragged into endless trouble by her.
Madame Jingrou was an extremely cautious person. Even if Lin Mengya didn’t mention anything, she could almost guess what was going on.
After a meal, Lin Mengya and Madam Jingrou understood each other more.
Lin Mengya’s experience and knowledge were much more than that of ordinary women. Madame Jingrou was also a powerful person when she was young. So the two of them had a sense of appreciation for each other.
Madam Jingrou had ordered Ningqiu to move in with Lin Mengya. On the one hand, she wanted Ningqiu to take care of Lin Mengya. After all, Lin Mengya was a guest. Madam Jingrou would not really ask her to work as a maid. On the other hand, she also wanted to deceive the people so that Lin Mengya would not appear too suspicious in the eyes of others.
At night, Lin Mengya was sitting in the side chamber, looking at the moon outside the window, thinking about her affairs.
After dinner, the Emperor of Lieyun came to the Fengyu Court with his trusted servants.
She only glanced at the Emperor from behind the window. The Emperor, who was about the same age as her father, and Madame Jingrou though looked like a perfect couple.
Even though they did not reveal anything, the sweet tenderness between them would not go unnoticed.
If her mother were still alive, her father and her mother would also look like that.
Once a woman got married to love, even time would treat her with kindness.
“Miss Helan must be envious of His Majesty and madam, right? In fact, I feel the same. Although His Majesty isn’t good with words, he treats madam very well. When he’s with her, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the Empress or Madame Hui, all that is thrown to the back of his mind.”
It was because of Lin Mengya that Ningqiu could move out of the room of the palace maids and into this side chamber, which was many times better than the maids’ room. Therefore, Ningqiu took a liking to Miss Helan straight away.
Lin Mengya could feel that Ningqiu had been very caring since dinner.
There was a hint of a smile at the corners of her eyes when she spoke. And she was livelier too.
She liked Ningqiu this way very much. Perhaps it was because she had been living in the modern society for more than 20 years. Even though her identity read that she was still a girl under 20 years old, deep in her heart, she was like an old woman. Very rarely could she be as lively as Ningqiu and Baizhi.
“Well, you have a good read on people. But don’t you have to go and serve them? You don’t have to take care of me, and you don’t have to treat me a certain way in front of others. We are the same now.”
Lin Mengya leaned against the window. From tomorrow onwards, she would be Madame Jingrou’s personal maid, taking care of the clothes, food and daily needs together with Ningqiu.
Or maybe they would have to face the fierce battles in the palace together.
“No I don’t need to go, Madam does not allow others to take care of His Majesty. Madam personally takes care of his clothes, food, accommodation, and transportation. We little palace maids are really useless and we’d just get in the way. So every time His Majesty comes, we have to retreat.
Then, Ningqiu’s face turned red, clearly a little embarrassed.
Lin Mengya looked at her with a smile. “How could this little girl be so thin-skinned?” She thought.
She turned around and looked at the palace where the candlelight was flickering.
Although they were in the palace, they lived like the most ordinary couple outside.
Such a couple would be hard to come by even in this place.
Lin Mengya now understood why Xiaoyu had accepted them in just half a year.
With parents who loved him as deeply as they did, he was naturally able to sense the familial love.
Although Xiaoyu always seemed cold-hearted, he cherished the people around him more than anyone else.
“By the way, I heard you say that His Majesty is troubled by a matter recently. Can you tell me what it is?”
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and suddenly remembered something important.
“Actually, we don’t know. We only know that something big happened in the capital city and many people died. His Majesty hasn’t been here for more than a fortnight. If His Highness hadn’t come back today, he wouldn’t have time to come here tonight.”
“Many people died?” Lin Mengya fell into a deep muse. She remembered that Wanyan Lie came to pick her up in person at the border.
Could it have something to do with Xiaoyu?
But with Ningqiu’s status, she wouldn’t be able to know what was really going on.
It was better to see Xiaoyu and ask him personally tomorrow or talk to Madame Jingrou.
Recently, Lin Mengya had been so busy that she didn’t really have much time to think about it anymore.
After changing her clothes, she rolled into the big bed, feeling warm and comfortable. She fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
She slept well that night. She had always had the habit of waking up early. As soon as the sky turned bright, she got up.
The yard was still quiet. Lin Mengya took a deep breath of the cold air and chased away the last bit of sleepiness in her heart. Then, she started to do her self-choreographed morning exercises under the rising sun.
In the past, because of the poison in her body, her physical functions had deteriorated a lot. It would still take a long time for her to regain her previous sensitivity.
Her body had always been more flexible than the average person. Her yoga-like movements looked a little strange.
Before long, the palace maids who had gotten up early, all surrounded her in the courtyard. They all wanted to check out the new girl, Helan, who had suddenly appeared in their life.
“Miss… Helan, what are you doing?”
Ningqiu rubbed her eyes. When she saw Lin Mengya in the yard, she opened her eyes wide and looked at her in surprise.
“Just doing some morning exercises. If you want to maintain your figure, why don’t you do it with me? These exercises not only can strengthen my body, but can also eliminate the toxins in my body and keep young forever!”
Her words were very tempting to all the palace maids.
And because of the exercises, Lin Mengya’s face had more color and her complexion looked much better.
Immediately, a few maids, who were not satisfied with their figures, began doing morning exercises shyly with Lin Mengya.
Where there were people leading the way, there would always be followers.
Soon, all the palace maids in the yard, except for those who had something to do, began to do morning exercises with Lin Mengya.
After doing the exercises several times with Lin Mengya, the smarter ones already learned most of it.
With someone leading the way, Lin Mengya stood in the crowd and helped correct their movements.
She didn’t spend the whole morning training just for the maids in the yard to do morning exercises with her.
Where there were women, there would be gossip. And when there was gossip, she would get first-hand information in the shortest time.
Although the women in the palace were all young and beautiful, they had seen much more than girls from ordinary families.
However, when it came to losing weight and becoming beautiful, even the Empress would likely be interested.
Now that she was doing morning exercises with the palace maids of Fengyu Court. Soon, the other palace maids might also join in.
The reason why the older ladies in the community could get news really fast from each other was social activities such as Square Dancing.
She only altered the format slightly. As for the effectiveness, of course, it couldn’t be too bad.
The morning exercises lasted for an hour and a half before they gradually dispersed.
The exercises Lin Mengya picked out were not difficult, but they did work on the meridians. If the palace maids did it often with her, some of their ailments would be alleviated.
Looking at their ruddy faces, Lin Mengya was very satisfied with the effect of her morning exercises.
If she succeeded, she would attract the maids of other palaces faster.
However, if they only did exercises in Fengyu Court, it would be inconvenient for people from the other palaces to come over.
And the news would spread a lot slower.
She secretly made up her mind that she might as well propose the idea in front of Madame Jingrou when she went to see her later.
As for whether the Madam could agree or not, it depended on how she made the proposal.
“Sister Helan, Madam says to invite you over for a meal with His Majesty.”
Ningqiu only did the exercises with her once before going to serve the Emperor and Madam Jingrou.
Because of the morning exercises, she felt that she was much more energetic than usual. Suddenly, she had more admiration for this awesome Miss Helan.
Apparently, she had become one of Lin Mengya’s followers.
