Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 578 - Buy His Support
Chapter 578 Buy His Support
Lin Mengya, who had always been open and aboveboard, brought it up directly even if it was about making use of each other.
Xiao Yixin was secretly shocked and wondered why the girl showed some heroic spirit of the men of the Lin family.
He still remembered Lin Mengya as the lovely little girl he had seen in his childhood.
Unexpectedly, she had grown up into a smart and alert lady when he didn’t notice her.
“I’ve been a disabled person who couldn’t do anything for the rest of my life. I’m willing to do anything for you even at the expense of my own life, Your Highness.”
Hearing Xiao Yixin’s words, Lin Mengya lifted the corners of her mouth.
In fact, Xiao Yixin was a rare talent. At that time, no one in the whole capital city didn’t know that he and his elder brother were respectively versed in literature and martial arts.
However, although Xiao Yixin was modest and kind at that time, he still had the arrogance of a childe of noble birth.
Now, being poisoned with the Venomous Armored Insect eliminated the last bit of his impatience.
He probably would have boundless prospects.
He could be considered a big potential stock, so she decided to draw him over to her side in advance.
“Brother Yixin, don’t say that. We have been friends since our childhood, and I’ve always considered you my brother. In fact, after thinking for a long time, I think it’s time to tell you something. Uncle Xiao…”
Before Lin Mengya could finish her words, Xiao Yixin’s face immediately changed.
Seeing his anxious eyes, Lin Mengya figure out what he was thinking.
“Don’t be nervous. Uncle Xiao is fine. It’s just that some time ago after my father came back, he sent someone to visit Uncle Xiao and heard that Uncle Xiao fell sick. My father has sent the best doctor in the capital city to treat him, but Uncle Xiao fell sick from worry. Since you disappeared, Uncle Xiao has broken down from constant overwork and been no longer as healthy as before. Moreover, your cousin brothers and your brothers born of your father’s concubines are not easy to deal with. A few months ago, I heard a scandal that they took advantage of the power of the Xiao family to kidnap a girl and got into a fight. Now my brother is in the capital city and often visits Uncle Xiao, so he managed to suppress the disturbance. But if things go on like this, I’m afraid that Uncle Xiao will die of anger aroused by these wicked people sooner or later.”
As Lin Mengya told the story, she observed Xiao Yixin’s expression.
As the eldest son of his family, he was responsible for revitalizing his family. In fact, he kept it in mind all the time.
Part of the reason why he left without saying goodbye before was that he was afraid that his horrible appearance would bring shame on his family.
Unexpectedly, his selfishness and willfulness hurt his parents, who doted on him, and brought damage to his clan he had been proud of.
“These bastards! The Xiao clan’s reputation established in a hundred years will sooner or later be destroyed by them!”
Xiao Yixin clenched his fists and said with a regretful and angry look.
Lin Mengya knew that her words gave Xiao Yixin enough mental stimulation.
After that, whether she could make Xiao Yixin pick up the courage to return to the Xiao family depended on what she was going to say.
“There is another thing that I have to tell you now. Uncle Xiao has never given up looking for you. He still considers you the son he is proud of. However, some people can’t bear to see you come back. Since they can’t find you, they intend to kill your parents. My husband has secretly sent some people to protect them. I heard that they once found some arsenic in your parents’ diet.”
“What? Bastards! Bastards!”
Xiao Yixin even failed to maintain the last bit of his calmness.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Mengya with a raging fire in his dark eyes which could even burn out the dark night.
With a “bang”, he hit the trunk next to him with his fists.
Trickles of blood came out from his scratch.
However, Xiao Yixin didn’t notice it at all.
“It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! Father, mother!”
As an eight-foot-tall man, he was helpless and could only smash the tree trunk to vent his anger at this moment.
He had to find a way to vent the anger accumulating in his heart.
So of course, Lin Mengya would give him this opportunity.
“Brother Yixin, I just hope that you could return to the Xiao family. His Highness, my brother, and I will definitely do our best to help you. In any case, your parents should not suffer this.”
Hearing Lin Mengya mention that she could that he could return to the Xiao family, Xiao Yixin immediately turned his head, and the determination in his eyes gradually became unshakable.
“Okay.”
However, the next moment, he knelt down in front of Lin Mengya.
Lin Mengya hurriedly tried to help him up with a surprised look, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yixin stopped her.
“Sister Mengya, if it weren’t for you, I would have become a useless person now. Moreover, if it weren’t for the protection of Uncle Lin and Brother Nansheng, my father and mother would have been killed. I have nothing but loyalty and sincerity. I’m willing to do anything for you and Prince Yu in this life even at the expense of my own life!”
After saying this sincerely and prudently, Xiao Yixin kowtowed hard three times on the ground before Lin Mengya reacted.
“Please get up, Young Master Xiao. My wife and I cannot accept this.”
Long Tianyu walked up to Lin Mengya at some point in time.
His words were polite, but he didn’t move at all.
Lin Mengya glanced at him, couldn’t help laughing in her heart, and thought that he was so jealous.
Nevertheless, the most important thing was to get down to business. Men’s business should be discussed by men.
“Brother Yixin, get up. We are on the same side from now on. Regarding what you are going to do, His Highness has his plan. I’m going back now. Take your time to have a talk.”
Lin Mengya said with a nod and considered that she retired after accomplishing her work.
Back in her teacher’s carriage, Lin Mengya turned around and inadvertently looked towards Long Tianyu.
In fact, Long Tianyu had more charisma than her.
It was not merely a matter of sexual attraction. Some people could make others willingly submit to them with their manners.
Long Tianyu was the kind of person who was full of leadership.
Xiao Yixin would definitely become one of Long Tianyu’s indispensable subordinates in the future.
“Silly girl, stop looking at them. You’ve paved the way for him. Do you want to give him a push on the way?”
In the carriage, Baili Rui teased his student without even raising his head.
“As long as he is fine with it, I can even carry him on the way. Old man, are you envious?”
Turning around, Lin Mengya sat in front of her teacher and read the prescription her teacher sorted out.
She had a glib tongue, so Baili Rui just dropped the topic after giving her a hard look.
Alas, this girl would dishonor him and make him die with anger sooner or later.
“Our sect is so unfortunate. By the way, although this Xiao Yixin is not very smart, he could still be considered a capable person. Buying his support is tantamount to buying the support of the entire Xiao family. It’s quite a good deal.”
Lin Mengya looked up at her teacher.
She showed a brighter smile and thought that although her teacher didn’t like to participate in political affairs, he had quite a unique view.
“Yes, the Xiao Family is worthy of my effort to ask for your help. By the way, teacher, have you got any clues about the toxicity of the Venomous Armored Insect?”
Xiao Yixin played his role in all respects. Not only he was tricked by Lin Mengya, but also the poison in his body became the key to eliminating the plague.
Of course, he didn’t sacrifice for nothing, because he would naturally benefit from it in the future.
Although her teacher was engaged in his research, after reading his prescription Lin Mengya noticed that her teacher seemed to have run into a bottleneck.
“Alas, I haven’t seen the finished product, so I can only make a rough guess now. By the way, I heard from Prince Yu that there is a doctor in Yunzhou who can cure the plague. We can ask him about it after we get there. Maybe we will get more clues.”
Baili Rui stopped writing, stretched himself, and began to chat with her.
“I have an intuition that this doctor is not simple, so I can’t completely trust him.”
Lin Mengya put down the prescription in her hand and poured a cup of tea for her teacher.
“That’s right. He showed up exactly when everyone was dead. I’m afraid he has ulterior motives.”
Baili Rui took a sip of tea and told Lin Mengya about his thought which was also Lin Mengya’s thought.
Both the master and the disciple seemed to be nerds enjoying studying medical skills, but in fact, they were shrewd.
“By the way, teacher, I have an intuition that both the Immortal Powder Long Tianyu was poisoned with and the Venomous Armored Insect Xiao Yixin was poisoned with are not ordinary things. Even if they were secretly developed by someone, the person, who can improve your old prescription, must have his unique skill in making poisons. Have you thought of anyone who could be this person?”
The Immortal Powder and the plague probably had something to do with the Candle Dragon Cult.
However, no matter how powerful a gang was, they needed professionals in making poisons and medical skills.
Since now she couldn’t find any evidence against the Candle Dragon Cult, she might as well nibble everything of the Candle Dragon Cult through these clues.
“Those who can compare with me are all old monsters. A genius like your master couldn’t even be seen in a hundred years. Nevertheless, although those old monsters are wayward, they have long restrained themselves because of their old age. In addition, they all have their descendants. A wicked deed like this will probably bring harm to their descendants. However, if you want to investigate into it, I can help you.”
Although Baili Rui was bragging, Lin Mengya knew better than anyone else that Baili Rui’s had the best medical skills among his peers indeed.
With the help of her teacher, she would definitely be able to find some clues.
“Mengya, I have to tell you something.”
As Baili Rui said, he suddenly became serious.
Even Lin Mengya could not help feeling a little nervous. Could it be the trouble?
“Teacher, please go ahead.”
Baili Rui looked at his beloved disciple with a complicated expression and sighed with blank eyes as if he had returned to decades ago.
“Both the art of medicine and the art of poison have their own sources. In fact, our sect is closely related to the Lieyun State. The Baili family used to be a notable family in the Lieyun State. The Xin family, who now holds the positions of Imperial Preceptor and High Priest, wasn’t even qualified to carry shoes for our Baili family back then!”
