Chapter 172 Ungrateful and Heartless
“Oh, teacher, what do you want the jade box for? For nest eggs?”
Lin ngya gradually reached a conclusion from her contacts with Baili Rui: that fuddy-duddy needed to be treated with unusual ans.
Especially that daring way, making no difference between the old man and her, got them much closer.
Baili Rui rolled his eyes at Lin ngya. Although she seed to not respect him, Lin ngya 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 effect to protect the patient’s soul.”
Baili Rui cautiously took a light purple herb from another room. Lin ngya, with her foot lifted, watched Baili Rui who was nervous at the mont.
“Teacher, aren’t you a non-believer of ghosts and gods?”
Baili Rui had no ti to reply. He carefully transplanted the light purple Dragon Soul Grass into the jade box.
“They say, it can protect the soul. In fact, what it protects is the vein. But it is a little special. I have to feed her it in fresh condition three tis.”
Looking at her teacher’s serious expression, Lin ngya realized that the herb must be very precious.
“I hope, the jade box can nourish the Dragon Soul Grass.”
Teacher was determined. Then, Madam Wang had a great possibility to survive.
After that, she was about to plan sothing else.
“Teacher, when will Madam Wang wake up in the light of her current condition?”
Baili Rui looked back to the woman lying on the bed. She had recovered her life now, but it was still unknown when she would wake up.
“I don’t know. Maybe she will never wake up. I’m not sure.”
Baili Rui didn’t care about anyone’s life. But that woman was a very rare case. Lin ngya told him that all the woman’s organs had been taken out.
Besides, there were many unusual poisons inside her body.
Baili Rui had discussed with Lin ngya about that. They concluded that those poisons might be causing her dead-like state.
There was no record about that kind of case, even in dical books.
Once he figured out the cure, he would have achieved a victory over his senior brother.
“It’s her destiny. Teacher, I still have sothing else to deal with. I’ll leave now. Inform if you need sothing.”
Lin ngya walked out of the stone room. Outside was Baili Wuchen, who was chillingly gazing at her.
“Stop.”
When Lin ngya passed by, Baili Wuchen shouted for her to stop.
Lin ngya, who had already felt the slight hostility from Baili Wuchen, stood there.
“What’s the matter?”
Both of them faced each other with their backs. No one would like to turn their back first.
“Do you think you can gain the prince’s credibility through pleasing my uncle?”
Baili Wuchen didn’t know the reason why his uncle would regard Lin ngya with special attention, and why the prince attached more importance to her.
“You must be confused. I’m not pleasing your uncle, neither am I flattering anyone for the Prince. There is no reason for to do this. Your uncle treats as his student. And, I am the Princess. I should gain the Prince’s credibility.”
In fact, Lin ngya knew clearly. Baili Wuchen hated her, because he thought that Lin ngya was about to take his place.
Besides, Baili Rui treated him strictly.
But he treated her so closely. Therefore, Baili Wuchen felt very uncomfortable.
“You—such a little girl! How could you understand n’s ambitions. If you ruin our thing, I will never spare you even though the Prince may protect you.”
Lin ngya burst into laughter, as if she had heard a joke.
“Ambition? Baili Wuchen, what ambition can you have after you frad your uncle? Heartless and ungrateful ambition? Even your close uncle can be used by you. Then, what else under the sun can’t be used? You feel wronged because you thought that you had frad your uncle in order to achieve your business for the Prince. Therefore, you tried to suppress your guilt. But, did the Prince ask you to kidnap your uncle? Did your ambition ask you to behave ungratefully?”
What Lin ngya said pierced through Baili Wuchen’s heart like a dagger.
Baili Wuchen turned round and heatedly stared at Lin ngya.
“What do you know? I did this for the Prince, for Dajin!”
Lin ngya turned round, too, but there was still a smile on her face.
“For the Prince, or for yourself!? Baili Wuchen, think about it! Dajin would never need a heartless, ungrateful hero!”
After uttering her last words, Lin ngya turned round and left without hesitation.
Baili Wuchen remained standing still on the sa spot.
The food container suddenly weighed more than a thousand jin.
Baili Wuchen’s intelligent brain seed to turn ambiguous at that mont.
The mories of how his uncle brought him up and cultivated him to be a useful man, ca to his mind.
Baili Wuchen was in low spirits; he walked close to the door of the stone room. For the first ti, he knelt on the ground, in sincere contrition.
Out of the dungeon, Lin ngya looked up to the warm sun, in a somber mood.
Large amounts of people had been losing their humanity and their soul just for fa and wealth.
Lin ngya looked back to the dungeon, and thought to herself that, Baili Wuchen would realize what was wrong with himself.
Lin ngya returned from the park, and from far away, she saw Qinghu and Xiaoyu criticizing each other.
“It’s all your fault! My little girl wouldn’t have been grounded, if you were found on ti.”
Qinghu, with a pot of chrysanthemum in one hand and another hand on his waist, glared at Xiaoyu.
“I was restricted on that day. But didn’t you wear a won’s dress, and got in there?” “How could you not notice? Were you blind?”
Xiaoyu glimpsed at Lin ngya in a casual way, and then, as if he saw nothing, he continued his quarrel with Qinghu.
“Hey! Are you blaming ? I only have a pair of eyes! It was beyond my ability to take my little girl in my sight. Where were your people at that ti? Why didn’t they show up to protect the little girl?”
Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu, who had an excellent appearance, presented a different charm while quarreling.
Lin ngya smiled and shook her head. She had seen through both of them, and knew that they were amusing her through a quarrel, otherwise she would be too stupid to understand their intention.
Upon arriving at her yard, Lin ngya saw her Snows running from inside her room towards her, and circling around her.
“Hello, my little guys, have you been alright?”
Lin ngya held a baby tiger up. Its shining eyes, like a cat’s eyes, looked at her.
‘It looks very good.’
Snow looked like a brother, and didn’t get jealous nor made a noise, and it quietly squatted by Lin ngya’s foot as it watched her holding the baby tiger.
“Snow, co here.”
Lin ngya held the two of them in her arms.
Both of them, who were active just then, instantly quieted down, and each found a cozy corner, comfortably staying in Lin ngya’s embrace.
“Master, what about Madam Wang?”
In the pavilion, Baiji had already prepared chrysanthemum tea, and Baizhi brought seasonal fruits.
Baishao brought a fox-fur robe while Baisu was on her guard and looked around.
“Teacher told that, Madam Wang survived. But whether she could wake up or not is still unknown.”
Her maids were all obedient to her.
Lin ngya put both Snows by her side, and turned around to see the two people, who were violently quarreling.
“When will you stop your bantering? If you don’t stop and co now, then continue until it turns dark.”
Since the subject of their quarrel said that, Qinghu and Lin Zhongyu agreed to stop, and walked into the pavilion.
Lin Zhongyu, who was the youngest and the most beloved by Lin ngya, sweetly smiled and sat close to her.
Although Qinghu wanted to sit there, he had to reluctantly sit across her, after he received her cold look.
“Things about witchcraft had to end with such a result. However, more people will keep their eyes on us. ntally prepare yourselves. We have to pay more attention in the future.”
The thing of spells in cinnabar reminded Lin ngya that, Prince Yu’s Mansion had been at others’ service.
It revealed a trouble that, the Jiang family, the Lin family, even including every noble family related with Prince Yu, had been taken into the Crown Prince’s consideration.
Fortunately, the Crown Prince was stupid enough. His attempt at sowing discord led those noble families to get closer to Prince Yu.
Sothing was going to happen in the Capital City.
“We were indeed not alert enough this ti. Please punish us, Master.”
Baisu was in charge of warning them about potential dangers in the yard.
However, Baisu had failed to see soone bury sothing in there. Therefore, a disaster was brought.
After a mont of thought, Lin ngya believed that, it was better to tell them a part of her plan.
“It’s not your fault. I was careless on that day. And I was too kind. So I won’t make mistakes this ti.”
Jiang Ruqin was taken ho by Minister Jiang.
She would never be allowed to get into Prince Yu’s Mansion for as long as she lived.
And as for Wang Hanlin, Long Tianhao had checked his study room, finding nothing wrong with it.
So there were two possibilities. Either Wang Hanlin was innocent, or he was too cautious to be found by Long Tianhao.
Ming Yue was said to have been criticized, and soon, King Ming would take her back to their state.
Therefore, Lin ngya had ti to focus on her fight with the Crown Prince.
“Tonight, bring Miss Wang here. Rember, don’t let anyone else know that. Four of you co with to the Prince’s study room.”
Four of them nodded. Although they didn’t know what their master was planning,
They still knew clearly that Master was really irritated that ti.
