Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess-Chapter 930 - Unintentional Breakthrough
Chapter 930 Unintentional Breakthrough
“Your Highness, what should we do now? If Princess Tiancheng is really making a move on the Empress, I think that she may want to wait until both sides are injured before she takes advantage of the situation to get in!”
Zhao Ran was indeed smart. Even so, when she thought of this possibility, she could not help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Lin Mengya, however, shook her head as if she was not flustered by that.
But the Imperial Noble Consort and Zhao Ran, who were standing by the side, were feeling as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
“Don’t worry. Princess Tiancheng’s plan won’t pull off. I think that the poison she’s been giving the Empress is not that deadly. Besides, Princess Tiancheng has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. What she lacks is the strength to harness her wild ambition. I think that she must have set her mind on something the Empress has and is slowly stewing her mother’s blood and essence. Only in this way can she keep her position firmly.”
Lin Mengya truly admired Tiancheng’s cruelty and mercilessness.
But some things were destined from the outset. For instance, most of the guards around His Majesty now were Lin Mengya’s men.
As long as she did not want Tiancheng to visit His Majesty, Tiancheng would not be able to see His Majesty at all.
Unless she wanted to fall out with the Crown Prince ahead of time.
Moreover, although the battle had been on for a day and a night, Lin Mengya was sure that the casualties on Long Tianyu’s side were not as serious as they appeared.
Not to mention that they still had a backup plan, which was enough to keep that group of old foxes in check.
Therefore, no matter what Tiancheng got from his mother, based on the current situation, Tiancheng had long lost the ability to turn the tables with one move.
Still, there were things that Lin Mengya had to be wary of.
“Sister Zhao, when the dishes are delivered this time, please bring me all the cutlery that you brought back, especially the ones touched by the Empress.”
A brilliant idea suddenly came to Lin Mengya’s mind.
The people from the Shangguan family were just the same. They could forgo everything for their own benefit.
The Empress didn’t seem like a person to be trifled with. Even if she had fallen into the trap, that would certainly be because she hadn’t been on guard against her own daughter.
Thus, she could secretly lift the deadly curse on the Empress and watch the mother and daughter fight each other.
Even if Princess Tiancheng might have her own way to get herself out of trouble, Shangguan Dongzhu had been in the palace for decades, and her schemes and means were already among the best.
Of course, Lin Mengya would choose to enjoy the show.
“Yes, rest assured, Your Highness. I’ll get it done. It’s getting late. I have to leave now.”
Zhao Ran bowed. Just like when she had arrived, she backed out of the room without attracting anyone’s attention.
Standing by the window, Lin Mengya watched Baisu guide Zhao Ran off. She could not help but feel an upsurge of complicated feelings that she did not expect to have.
In the past, she had always thought that she knew her mother well. But during these days, the surprises that her mother had given her repeatedly perfected the image of her mother, even though she was already impeccable in the eyes of the public.
Lin Mengya now saw that it was no wonder that so many people would be willing to do anything for her mother.
This woman, who grew up in such an environment, was definitely qualified to stand proudly at the top among all the remarkable women in the world.
As for Lin Mengya herself… Her soul, which was a combination of modern and ancient elements, gave her an unparalleled edge.
While the people of the world did not know about it, she knew it better than anyone else.
Still, she was nothing compared to her mother.
“In the past, I only heard that Madame Lin was a miracle-working doctor. But now it seems that her breadth of mind and capability are incomparable with us ordinary women.”
With a loving smile on her face, Imperial Concubine Dehui stroked Lin Mengya’s soft long hair hanging on her shoulder.
“Yes, my mother is a wonderful woman, but Your Highness is not any bit inferior to her. If Eunuch Wang is not on your side, no matter how much Zhao Ran wants to help me, she is just powerless.”
Lin Mengya held the Imperial Noble Consort’s hand and led her to the bedside with a sweet smile on her face. Although this was bound to be a sleepless night for countless people, she and the Imperial Noble Consort had to force themselves to have some sleep.
Only then could they keep sufficient energy to deal with tomorrow’s affairs.
“Oh? How did you know that Eunuch Wang is on my side?”
Imperial Concubine Dehui did not feel uneasy at all when the truth was exposed.
She was just a little surprised.
“Eunuch Wang is a secret agent whom I planted by the emperor’s side many years ago. Even Jinyue and Yu’er don’t know about this.
“How did this girl see through it?”
“Eunuch Wang must not be on Empress’s side. Otherwise, His Majesty would have long gotten rid of him. But he is not His Majesty’s man. He is absolutely a conscientious worker to His Majesty, yet his loyalty is on no account for His Majesty. Besides, he helped me openly or secretly many times when I came to see His Majesty. If he did not work for you, I just can’t think of anyone who could plant a henchman by His Majesty’s side.”
In fact, these were not the main reasons. The key was that the emperor trusted Eunuch Wang very much.
Given the temperament of the Emperor of Dajin, he would not easily trust anyone.
Therefore, Eunuch Wang seemed particularly important. But it was not easy to gain the trust of the Emperor of Dajin.
If Eunuch Wang was in cahoots with the Empress or one of the princes, he would give himself away sooner or later.
The only person who could make Eunuch Wang close to the Emperor of Dajin without arousing suspicion was Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
Although the Emperor of Dajin might no longer be head over heels in love with the Imperial Noble Consort, he trusted this woman, who could suffer all kinds of grievances for him and still be gentle and considerate, more than any other ambitious woman.
That was because the Emperor of Dajin knew better than anyone that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would never want to harm him.
As the emperor’s confidant, Eunuch Wang naturally knew better than anyone else what he was thinking.
When it came to his trusted eunuchs, they might be closer to him than those whom he trusted the most. Logically speaking, he would not suspect them so easily.
Moreover, with the cautiousness of Eunuch Wang and the Imperial Noble Consort, the chance of their making such a mistake was very small.
This revelation didn’t dawn on Lin Mengya until Zhao Ran left.
Even though Eunuch Wang knew Zhao Ran’s personality, through his seemingly simple arrangement, he still reduced the risk of their operation to the minimum.
If he was not on Imperial Noble Consort’s side, why would he be sincerely worried about the safety of the two of them?
“I know I can’t hide this from you forever. But in fact, Wang Quan is not really working for me. It’s just that we were old acquaintances many years ago. Since you noticed, I won’t hide this from you any longer. With him around, Tiancheng’s plan won’t succeed. But Mengya, Yu’er and his men have lockdown the whole palace. Are you really not worried that the Crown Prince and the others will make a reckless move?”
A look of worry appeared on the face of the Imperial Noble Consort.
“These two are so amazing that even I can’t understand many things they do at all.
“If things are done in my way, Yu’er should end the battle as fast as he can and take over the palace as soon as possible, lest the Crown Prince’s people keep being around me and Ya’er.”
Lin Mengya gently but resolutely helped the Imperial Noble Consort to the bed.
She took the comb in Jinyue’s hands and said in a tender voice, “The Crown Prince’s force is a tree that has grown too big and has roots too deep. It’s not easy to uproot it entirely. Once we loosen our guard, it’s hard to say if they’ll make a comeback again. Therefore, I have to resort to desperate measures to dig out the roots of the Crown Prince’s force.”
Without harming the roots, how could the evil tree wither and die for good?
Lin Mengya would pave the way for Long Tianyu to ascend the throne even if she had to use herself or the Imperial Noble Consort as bait!
Nevertheless, she would ensure the safety of the Imperial Noble Consort. She would not let Long Tianyu be racked with regrets for the rest of his life.
That was her pledge.
It was already dark in the inner courtyard of the palace, which was supposed to be brightly lit all year round.
However, on the walls were numerous elite guards holding up torches, which lit up the four sides of the walls as bright as day.
Elite guards dressed in black armor seemed to have blended perfectly into the darkness.
However, no matter how rich the blackness was, it would be defeated by the force clad in bright red.
Those suits of red armor were shining like fire. Even in the darkness, the redness still exuded scorching pride.
At the center of those in red armor were several men mounted on handsome warhorses. They were the spark of the flames here.
The warhorses beneath them were pitch-black like ink and looked incredibly brave.
That man, who was proud and handsome like a god, wore a suit of bright red armor. He was like a jet of dazzling light, which shot into the heart of every soldier on the opposite side, filling them up with intense fear. Then, every time they exchanged blows, the other side would be weak-willed and back off, while they maintained strong momentum.
That was because on the side of the red army stood a man as frightening as the God of War, yet as proud as a peacock.
He was Long Tianyu, the third prince of Dajin, the righteous Prince Yu.
Now, because of the joining of several princes, Long Tianyu’s force had become larger and larger.
This large army put the Crown Prince’s soldiers who were still struggling in vain under a great deal of pressure.
Even so, they were still trying to put up a fight.
Due to the fact that military orders must be obeyed, they could only engage in a life-and-death struggle against numerous enemies.
“Third Elder Brother, let’s break in. Father is still under the control of that traitor. His life may be in danger if we still don’t go in.”
The impatient young man, who was riding on a white horse behind Long Tianyu, licked his lips.
He was only about 20 years old, wearing dark orange armor. But as he was not sitting straight, he looked a little sloppy.
Even though he was surrounded by thousands of troops, he did not seem bothered at all.
It was just that his face did not have Long Tianyu’s cool features or Long Qinghan’s delicate features.
He looked a little mediocre. If it weren’t for his noble temperament, he would be no different from those common children from aristocratic families.
However, both Long Tianyu and Long Qinghan were keenly aware that behind his seemingly ordinary appearance concealed a flourishing ambition.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come here tonight.
“Fourth Elder Brother, why are you still behaving like this? Don’t tell me there’s another beauty whom you fancy in the palace, is there?”
