"Oh, teacher, what do you want the jade box for? For nest eggs?"
Lin Mengya gradually reached a conclusion from her contacts with Baili Rui: that fuddy-duddy needed to be treated with unusual means.
Especially that daring way, making no difference between the old man and her, got them much closer.
Baili Rui rolled his eyes at Lin Mengya. Although she seemed to not respect him, Lin Mengya was really a genius in poisoning.
She was even more talented than his senior brother known as the God of Poison.
He had been a loser when competing with his senior.
If his student defeated his senior, his long-cherished wish would be fulfilled.
"It is Dragon Soul Grass. I've checked it. This woman may be able to survive, but she is still too weak in health. If I really bring her back to life through poisoning, her body may be not bear it. But Dragon Soul Grass is different. It's said that it has an effe
Lin Mengya was grounded, but sooner or later, she would be set free. Imperial guards outside her room had been drawn back. The Empress and the Crown Prince seemed to have done nothing to her. Or maybe they were secretly planning something else. In Prince Yu's Mansion, Lin Mengya was allowed to go anywhere. Even the study room, which no one other than Long Tianyu, was allowed to go into, was not a forbidden zone for Lin Mengya. "Where is the Prince?" Long Tianyu was absent. Lin Mengya felt that a little unexpected. Long Tianyu would often address affairs in his study room every afternoon. "Your Highness, the seventh prince asked the Prince out. He said they had something to deal with." Steward Deng, who was following behind Lin Mengya, responded that. "Okay, I see." Long Qinghan had not gone there in recent days. He must have been a
The lady seemed to be in her thirties. She was buxom with a beautiful appearance. That lady was a down-to-earth type of woman, quite different from the usual ladies with a title. But, she, wearing a luxury robe, looked arrogant. Lin Mengya guessed that, the lady must be someone's vice princess. Even she was the first princess; she must come from a common family. "Isn't it the Duchess Qinan? She just managed to become the wife of Duke Qinan. How dare she show no respect to Concubine De. How mean she is." Another harsh voice came. Lin Mengya slightly turned her eyes to another lady. That lady was noble, but there was some unkind intent in her eyes. Besides, she must come from a noble family, as she was so outspoken. Indeed, the lady, who was referred to as the wife of Duke Qinan, fell speechless when hearing that unkind lady's words.
"It's been many years. In these years, Princess Lingnan had threatened me to do things for her, whether in Prince Lingnan's Mansion or in the Palace. I've done lots of things for her." Concubine De sounded cold at the moment. How would a proud lady like her be someone's puppet? She was just waiting for a chance to let that person pay for her concessions. "She acted so boldly because she possessed an item which would do me harm." Concubine De showed her cold face, and a silver of coldness appeared in the corner of her mouth. "So, mother, you chose to compromise in order to get what is in Princess Lingnan's hand back?" Lin Mengya was clever enough to know Concubine De's intention soon. "You are half right. Actually, I've—" A female sound interrupted Concubine De. "Sister, it was my fault just now. Please don't be angry with me." At a
Lin Mengya stubbornly pursed her lips, refusing to speak a word. So enraged was Concubine De that she almost smashed the teacup in her hands if Princess Lingnan did not snatch the teacup from her in time. "Please calm down, Your Highness. Princess Yu is after all still young. Just teach her a lesson if she's made a mistake, lest your health is affected. It was just too bad Hui'er had to suffer." Princess Lingnan might sound as if she was trying to console Concubine De, but in fact, she was obviously trying to stir up Concubine De's emotions. True enough, Concubine De got angrier. She pointed a trembling finger at Lin Mengya in turning rage. "Get down on your knees!" Concubine De bellowed with rage and the people around broke out in cold sweat in fear for Princess Yu. Lin Mengya got down on her knees reluctantly but still refused to admit that it was her mistake.
The cold blade of the sword pierced brutally into Miss Wang's chest. Blood spurted out and stained the girl's snow-white face. Lin Mengya stared coldly at the girl in front of her with a wary look. "Behold, Princess Yu, I've gotten rid of this person who is a threat to you. Shouldn't you be grateful to me?" Princess Ming Yue's profile, lit by the lamp, was hair-raisingly terrifying. With eyes still wide opened, Miss Wang's life slipped away from her. "What do you think I should thank you for?" Lin Mengya looked warily at Ming Yue as she drew her sword without any hesitation and dragged it on the floor, marking a line in it. Lin Mengya did not expect Ming Yue to personally kill someone. "Regardless of whether you feel thankful towards me, I've gotten rid of your enemy, haven't I? I just thought that Princess Yu, you are someone who knows how to be grateful. I'
"Water? There's some water outside; go to find it. As long as you're able to crawl to the body of water." The look in Lin Mengya's eyes was devoid of all emotions. Lin Mengya could not even bother to look at Ming Yue, who was paralyzed on the floor. "Ah! It's so itchy! It'll be better if you kill me, kill me!" Ming Yue shouted in delirium as she rolled on the floor, but it did not help with relieving the itch at all. "Master, are you not worried that someone would come to her rescue?" They exited from the side chamber and it was pitch dark outside. "No one will come. They had wanted us dead, so they would have made sure that all the guards and servants had been deployed from here. Look, there isn't a single soul here. Who would find her?" It was only now that Lin Mengya realized that this part of the Chun'en Hall's side chamber was unusually secluded and quiet.
Before they even opened the door, they could smell the vile pungency of blood. The Crown Prince pushed open the door and stepped inside only to find a dead Miss Wang, with her eyes still opened. "This— what's happened?" The Crown Prince flew into a rage. He had obviously planned everything to perfection. Why had Miss Wang died here? "Has the skinned corpse been identified?" Apart from Miss Wang's body, there was a dark puddle of blood on the floor. What was most repulsive was that the puddle of blood was mixed with woman's hair and fragments of skin. "There is a piece of clothing in this room that did not belong to Miss Wang. After identification by the guards, they concluded that it belonged to Princess Ming Yue of the western vassal state." The reply of one of the subordinate guards made the Crown Prince shudder. There should not be a mistake. The corpse fo
"Your Highness?" It was none other than Long Tianyu. Lin Mengya immediately made space for Long Tianyu. "Let's go home." Long Tianyu, sitting across from Lin Mengya, said flatly. Baisu conscientiously exited from the horse carriage and sat alongside the coachman. Therefore, Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya were left alone in the horse carriage. The horse carriage rocked as it traveled down the long street until they were out of the boundaries of the palace. As the effect of the painkiller subsided, Lin Mengya started to feel the shooting pain from both her hands and her breathing quickened. The numbing effect of her caused by Baisu sealing up her acupuncture point was beginning to subside. Lin Mengya could sense that the wound on her hands was oozing blood. Long Tianyu, through his sharp sense of smell, could smell blood mingled with med
The wolves didn't come forward, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing together.Looks like it was the head wolf.Lin Menya wasn't the least bit intimidated, but the head wolf's behavior was strange, it didn't make an attacking gesture.Instead"White!"The first rays of morning light blossomed and she saw the white pelt, hidden in the shadows.Heart racing, she embraced the huge figure that came hurtling at her.Unexpectedly, her little white, won!"You're really good, you came and singled out someone's boss, okay, a bit of my style!"The surprise made Lin Menya relax her entire body, but something wasn't quite right with Xiao Bai.After it plopped down on Lin Menya's body, it actually didn't move.Scared, she thought what was wrong and cleanly checked the wound for White.But what I didn't expect to hear first, was the little one's hoots and hollers.After half a day's messing around, Kohaku was exhau
"But, but we don't have silver, food and weapons, and how can we fight against those people with these 2,000 people and more?"Nie Qing stuttered a bit, he had been to the battlefield, naturally he knew that these things were not a matter of having many people."These, I have my own ways. But right now, it's a perfect time to sharpen. After dawn, the guards stationed inside and outside of Kanakura City will definitely search the mountain. If utilized properly, these two thousand or so people will become the heart of Jin Cang City. At that time, we'll eat away at these people's power little by little."An extremely large plan formed in her mind.Though she knew that there was no rush, right now, it was sort of the only way to house the two thousand or so people."You mean, let us occupy the mountain as king? That won't work, in case if the Wei people slow down and concentrate their forces on attacking us, how can we defend ourselves with just these two t
The one who spoke, was not very tall, and had only suffered a little because he was a prisoner of war.But in the end, after the army, baptized by war, the essence is still good.And, he's probably the superior of those five.The five men stood behind him out of habit, not saying a word.Lin Menya glanced at the man and couldn't help but light up.His eyes were clear and godly, with only the undaunted defiance of a soldier, without half the slipperiness and accidents of a soldier's oil, only a good soldier.The heart, too, is in the right place."In a while, let's go into the mountains and hide for a while first, with so many people, there's always a need for laws and rules. Since you've been in the army, I'd like to ask you to do these things, is that okay?"The man didn't realize that the GodEmperor was actually going to entrust him with such a thing.At once, the flame of grandeur in the man's heart was ignited.He looke
She quietly picked up the raw meat and practically crawled her way to the man's back, getting closer and closer to the man as she practically held her breath.Suddenly, the man turned his head around in a flash as if he had sensed something.Lin Mengya didn't care about anything else, the raw meat in her hand that was dipped in anesthetic, gagged the man's mouth at once.The man, shocked and angry, tries to escape.But she didn't know where the strength came from, both hands wrapped around the man's neck and tightly stuffed the large chunk of raw meat in the head of the man's mouth, refusing to part.The man, of course, was much stronger than she was, and only panicked for a moment before using his hand to tug at the flesh around his mouth.Lin Mengya was in a hurry and kneed the man in one of the acupoints on his waist.The blow was so steady and hard that the man lost a lot of strength at once, and her hand, never left the raw flesh.
Looking at the lock that was half a pound heavy, Gong Ping sighed.In fact, to this day, he didn't know who this fuss was really about.But looking at Missy's distraught look, he didn't dare to ask more.All I know is that what the lady is looking for is a large metal cage."Let's find it first, and be careful this time before someone sees us."Locked warehouses are usually guarded.This is the boundary of Kanakura Harbor, and those who are in charge of the patrol are also from Kanakura Harbor.These are the crew members who work on the ship and make their rounds on weekdays when they have nothing else to do.Lin Menya and Gong Ping dodged a group of people by virtue of their skinny bodies.But soon they were lost in the midst of dodging."How much longer do we have to look, miss?"The two crouched in the corner, Lin Moya's eyes, tightly focused on a crew that had just disappeared.Just now, they were so close t
If the nominal Gong Ya was still here, then she could have arrogantly and incomparably fought the auction with the intention of competing with the other party.But on the contrary, she couldn't easily reveal her identity.If one Lin Mengmai wasn't enough of a warning, then adding another Zhu Yan made the problem much more obvious.Lin Mengya was also thinking of a countermeasure, if it really didn't work, she would repeat her trick and use the same trick that Bai Su had used earlier to muddle through.But now that she was unprepared, it would be bad to reveal anything instead.However, the bidding didn't quite end there.Once they heard the Mu family bidding, the general public wouldn't dare to follow them.But there were still one or two, who felt that the teenager and the beast were strange, and had the guts to call for a price.Soon, the price climbed to six thousand taels.Those few families had subsided, the expensive price
But the third auction, however, made every Gong family member's heart feel a bit clogged.Because on the list, there were three dozen people from the Gong family that were being auctioned off as house slaves.Those people are the deepest hidden scars of the Gong family.From the moment the five sons of the Gong family entered, the atmosphere was, well, somewhat oppressive."My lord, the people sent by the lady have arrived."Gong Yang was still guarding the outside, but he led in a boy who was dressed, all ordinary."You go down."Gong Si waved his hand, allowing Gong Yang to leave.Turning, he asked in a low voice."What did Missy tell you to pass on?"The boy hung his head low, but pursed his lips and smiled."Missy said to spend the silver as she pleases and smash whoever she sees as disagreeable."Gong Si smiled along with him, but reached out and pulled the boy in front of a few other brothers."See,
"Hiss, why are you guys so heavy handed, trying to strangle me? Get out!"Lin Mengya yelled at the two female slaves in disgust, and the two immediately fell to their knees, trembling."Who are you playing pathetic and condescending like that for? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead!"She continued to curse, and Gong Si just couldn't stand it and ordered them to be taken out."Miyaya, how could you?""Why can't I be like this? Don't forget who's the head of the family!"Before the two slave girls went out, they heard an argument coming from inside.As slaves, they had to hang their heads lower to save themselves from the waves.How could the two of them know that since they went out, the atmosphere in the box had changed all of a sudden."Go on, keep an eye on them."Gong Si casually beckoned an attendant and softly commanded, the place where his line of sight fell, right where it should be, was the direction where
"I'm used to being at home. I went out in a hurry this time and didn't bring a few satisfactory maids with me. I see that on the list for today's auction, there are female slaves trained by the Rong family. I would like to ask Mr. Lu to ask for a few in advance, do you think it's okay?"Though she played it in the name of consultation, her tone was unquestionable.Lu Feng hesitated slightly, and she immediately pulled a face."I have let you earn a lot of silver, right, so a little request can not be done, you this business ah, do not often."She was not polite in the slightest, and her voice was not small enough to be heard by anyone around her.Gongbin frowned, not the least bit displeased that she was being so capricious.He was just about to open his mouth, but he was pulled back by Gong San."Big brother, little sister is a girl after all, delicate and weak, she should also find someone to serve her. How about this, Mr. Lu, these female
