Chapter 267 Photographic mory
Jiang Ruqin continued wailing like a baby, but no one would show her rcy now.
Two strong won grabbed on tightly to Jiang Ruqin and dragged her out of the Art Courtyard.
However, Lin ngya did not turn around to look in the direction in which the shrieking cries were getting further and further. Although her defense sounded logical, Concubine De might not be fully taken in by it. Moreover, she did not intend to keep this a secret her entire life.
“Regardless of the circumstance, such a thing had happened to Ruqin when she was in our mansion. What do you suggest we do?”
As rare as it could be, Concubine De and Lin ngya were actually aligned in their stand on this matter.
Lin ngya pondered for a mont. It appeared that Concubine De was at her wit’s end, or perhaps was she testing Lin ngya?
At this juncture, Lin ngya reminded herself to respond cautiously.
“It would be disastrous if this leaks out. Be it Jiang Ruqin or us, it’s beyond our ability to salvage the situation. It would be best if the Cui Family lets this go. If not, it will beco very troubleso.”
Concubine De gave her a cold look and said, “That I know, but the Cuis had dirt on us this ti. If we don’t punish Ruqin, the Cuis would not let us off so easily.”
Lin ngya knew her comnts were superfluous words, yet she looked down and pretended to wrack her brain for ideas. After a while, she looked towards Concubine De with hesitation, as if she already had so ideas.
“Out with it. I know you have so ideas. I’d like to hear it.”
Lin ngya sighed softly and said, “Actually, the reason the Cuis refused to let this go was that they had caught Jiang Ruqin committing adultery and it brought sha to the family. However, I could tell from the Ruqin’s looks that she wasn’t lying. How about let Ruqin go through a physical examination to prove her virginity. If she’s proven to be a virgin still, then the rumors would collapse. The problem is things get tricky and difficult to conclude with so many people involved and talking.”
Concubine De could not say that Lin ngya’s idea was good. In modern terms, it would be like certifying that Jiang Ruqin as a virgin. Although, they might be able to stop many rumors on the surface.
However, the effect could be the sa as how Teacher Cang pronounced herself a virgin.
The most crucial thing was to let the people sent by the Cui Family be the ones carrying out the examination. In this way, Jiang Ruqin might beco a laughing stock, but at the very least, it would not be so embarrassing.
Concubine De seed to have arrived at the sa idea as seen from the look of hesitation on her face.
This might be a cunning move, but it seed that it was their only choice now. Whether Jiang Ruqin lived or died, it was no longer that important. The more important thing was Jiang’s family honor. If they allowed nature to take its course, the Jiang Family would essentially beco a laughing stock among all the reputable and large families.
“I will weigh the matter first before I act. It’s getting late, you should go back now. By the way, I’m going to make a trip to the Cuis Mansion, so you shall put everything in order in the mansion.”
After giving a respectful nod at Concubine De, Lin ngya walked out of the Art Courtyard, followed by her maidservants.
Lin ngya laughed in her heart. She had managed to verify and clear the many doubts in her heart.
She looked toward the horizon where the clouds were stained a fiery orange and thought that sothings were clear as day even without her verifying them.
This was getting exciting. Lin ngya was just going to sit back and watch what would happen.
The new year’s eve, which was equivalent to the spring festival in modern tis, was one of the most celebrated festivals among the people of this nation. If the Winter Solstice was the festival for praying for favorable weather, the new year’s eve was an occasion for a great reunion when families enjoyed the fruits of a year’s labor.
As the people in the prince’s mansion busied themselves preparing for these festivals, everything seed to fall into place as ti went by.
At the sa ti, Lin ngya had managed to train a number of capable workers who shared her workload, so much so she was no longer the only one going around handling everything on her own. While she freed up so ti, she utilized it to learn more about poison from her teacher.
Sothings were not as simple as it seed on the surface.
Take for example the poison from the poisonous scorpion, which was familiar to everyone. If it were used properly, it was more effective than other dications in clearing the body’s internal heat and curing hematoma.
The so-called poisons were often added into prescriptions prescribed by physicians. If not used properly, even dicines like ginseng and lingzhi could beco poisonous to the human body.
dication itself could not be categorized as either evil or good. It really depended on the person administering it.
Lin ngya had a profound understanding with regards to this fact.
As Lin ngya progressively get to know Baili Rui better, she realized that he was simply an old man who was crazy about poison and dicine who did not like to be restricted by the boundaries set by man. Perhaps this was how he got the na the Saint of Poison.
From Lin ngya’s perspective, he was more like a wanton and unrestrained crazy physician.
The fact that he was settled for living in this place was likely because he could not stand being restricted by the rules and code of ethics.
“What are you staring at? Your teacher, I am talking to you. Do you rember everything I said?”
With a light clap, the jade tablets in Baili Rui’s hands landed lightly on his student’s head. Lin ngya imdiately put her hands on her head and stuck out her tongue as Baili Rui shook his head.
Just when Baili Rui was thinking about repeating what he said, he heard Lin ngya recited what he said without leaving out a word or stopping half-way.
“Hey, didn’t your mind go wandering off? How did you manage to rember everything I’ve said?”
Baili Rui was greatly amazed, although it was not impossible for soone to rember everything one saw, even if it were only once. However, lately, he realized that no matter how difficult to articulate the things he said, Lin ngya was always able to recite it perfectly afterward.
“That’s because I was paying attention when I was listening to you.”
Lin ngya did not find it abnormal at all. All she felt was that everything that the teacher said sounded loud and clear to her ears. She only needed to hear it once and she was able to morize everything. It was easy peasy for her.
“Alright, let ask you. Which herbs do you use to neutralize the poison from the red-headed snake?”
The required concoction was not complicated. However, red-headed snakes were only found in Lie Yun. All the components of the antidotes were found in Lie Yun for this reason. When he first learned about this, he found it difficult to articulate.
It took him by surprise that Lin ngya was able to recite it perfectly.
Strangely, he had rely casually ntioned this concoction to her earlier.
“Let ask you another question. How about the antidote for Tianlu Grass?”
The answer to the question posed by Baili Rui this ti would consist over a hundred different nas of antidotes. Even he could not rember all of them.
However, Lin ngya began listing them straight away without even thinking.
What was even more astounding was that not only did she get every na correct, she had recited them in the exact order her teacher had spoken to her. So of the nas were even in the dialect native to that place. Lin ngya had managed to get everything right.
Good heavens! Baili Rui’s face lit up in pure delight. Never had he expected that this disciple which he took in unintentionally actually possessed such exceptional mory power!
Baili Rui had therefore made up his mind to tell Lin ngya everything he learned in his entire life. In this way, he would be able to pass on his knowledge to Lin ngya even if she eventually did not achieve her fullest potential or surpass him.
Such a great talent was a dream disciple of any learned physician.
Lin ngya was perplexed too. Indeed, her teacher back in modern tis had once praised her for her fantastic mory. By chance, she had heard Baizhi said that the Lin ngya in the past, then considered an idiot, possessed a photographic mory.
Could it be that in the presence of the radar which transcended the brain had triggered the second developnt of the brain’s function?
At this thought, Lin ngya made a bold guess that because her soul and spirit had transcended ti, but not her body, therefore, the correct way of triggering the radar was so kind of mapping process.
This was to say that if she wanted to achieve success in triggering the radar, the transplanted person would need to map his or her soul and spirit onto the other person.
Her original body would be permanently preserved for the purpose of research.
Good heavens! This coincidence was too bizarre for anyone to believe!
If her brain was completely developed by the radar, what would beco of her?
Lin ngya had no idea. The brain was, after all, a very mysterious organ. It was not possible to understand how the thinking process worked even with modern technology.
She could only say that she had been extrely lucky!
“Lass! Lass! Why have you gone blank again?”
Lin ngya recovered from dazing and realized that her teacher was staring at her angrily. She imdiately tried to smile sweetly at him. She had never lost her focus during a class in the past.
How was it that she had begun to do two things at the sa ti, just like the others?
“Please continue, Teacher, please continue.”
Sigh, it was indeed because she had too many things on her mind that she needed to worry about.
After she eventually ca out of the teacher’s room, Lin ngya took a detour to check out Baili Wuchen.
It was nearing the end of the year. Although the prisoners in the dungeon were considered Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s enemies, Lin ngya was an advocate of modern humanitarianism.
She had distributed cotton-padded coats to keep them warm as well as sufficient food supply.
Although this small gesture of grace was not enough to turn them from their targets, at least it would be very useful to keep them.
Through the iron gates, Lin ngya was able to glimpse into the dungeon through the ventilation windows.
Baili Wuchen’s head remained bowed and his black hair, like overgrown weeds, covered his face. His dirty clothes looked fitting for the eerie and gloomy dungeon setting.
All of a sudden, Lin ngya recalled the graceful young man carrying a folding fan when they first t. She could not help but feel pity for him. What had caused him to co to this state?
“Open up, I want to go in to see him.”
The guards were hesitant at Lin ngya’s order. They had Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s order not to allow anyone to enter. However, Lin ngya, who was the mistress of the mansion was to a certain extent the representative of Long TianhaoLong Tianyu.
The two guards exchanged looks, and then opened the iron gates.
“Your Highness, this prisoner is a dangerous man. Don’t go too near, otherwise you may get injured and we’ll be in trouble.”
Despite their concerns, the guards let her in, but not before warning Lin ngya of the danger.
