Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 461 - Hurried Towards the Old Capital City

Chapter 461 Hurried Towards the Old Capital City

No one could guess what was on Sui’s mind, but on the surface, to Lin ngya and Baishao’s surprise, Sui was wearing a humble expression.

She had kept her eyes low in submission and was a totally different person from her usual self.

They had expected to face a Sui who would harass and pester them shalessly. At this mont, however, it seed that Sui had taken a step back in order to gain an edge.

Sui had grown smarter indeed. Lin ngya was even more curious about the mastermind behind Sui.

Lifting her brows, Lin ngya glanced at Sui and said with an indifferent tone, saying, “I’m not really a ticulous person, and having Baishao serve is more than sufficient. Moreover, you will beco a burden if I bring you along with .”

Lin ngya was about to turn to leave after she had finished speaking.

A vicious look flashed in Sui’s eyes, but she managed to suppress it.

Sui hurried over to Lin ngya and fell down at her feet, looking very pathetic. Reaching out both her hands, she caught the hem of Lin ngya’s skirt and started pretending to weep.

“You’ve misunderstood , Your Highness. Actually, what I did in the past was all incited by my heartless elder sister. At that ti, she was not happy that she alone was in the mire and threatened with my modesty. If I refused to submit to her, she was going to send to the brothel. Given no choice, I cowered. If you don’t believe , I can swear that what I say is true. If I lie, I’ll... I’ll die a tragic death!”

Sui wept and begged earnestly, sounding pathetic and touching.

If Lin ngya had co from a fairly common family, she might well be mostly taken in by what Sui said, though not entirely.

“Is that so? I see.”

Lin ngya tried to sound she half-believed Sui, giving her a dubious look.

Compared to Sui, Lin ngya’s acting skill was a whole new level higher than that of Sui.

Being very sharp, Lin ngya quickly captured that look of satisfaction in Sui’s eyes. It appeared that Lin ngya had hit the nail on the head.

“What I say is the absolute truth. If you don’t believe , Your Highness, you may check with the courtesan house my elder sister used to work in.”

There was no hint of guilt in Sui’s voice.

The person had after all told Sui that all the necessary arrangents had been made with the courtesan house which her elder sister used to work in.

“In this case, do allow ti to check with them when I have ti. Now that your sister had left, it would be better for you to remain here and not worry. No one would be making things difficult for you here. Let’s leave this matter be until my return.”

Seeing Lin ngya was not intending to let her follow, Sui was losing her cool.

She flashed out a little wooden box from her sleeve and presented it to Lin ngya.

“Your Highness, my sister gave this to . She wanted to seize the opportunity to present this to the emperor of Lintian so I could falsely claim your status as mine! But now, I no longer wish to work with her to bring harm upon you, which is why I’m giving this piece of evidence to you.”

Sui’s words sounded so earnest that she was beginning to look like she was sincere.

A light flashed across Lin ngya’s eyes. She did not expect her enemy to present her the very evidence she prepared just to win her trust.

However, this also made sense since Sui was still unaware that she had beco an abandoned chess piece.

This was the reason why Sui had offered Lin ngya this item as a pledge of her loyalty towards her.

Baishao took over the box from Sui and handed it over to Lin ngya. Opening the box, Lin ngya saw that sitting in the box was an erald jade pendant.

The item looks old. Lin ngya might not be an expert, but she could tell that it was not a common object.

“What’s this?”

Lin ngya picked up the jade pendant and flipped it around. A plum flower pattern at the back of it attracted her attention.

As she took a closer look at it, she realized that the pattern was rather normal-looking compared to hers which was tied to her waist which looked different.

Sui thought Lin ngya was sohow taken in by her, so adhering to her plan, she said, “This was left behind by your mother. It’s believed to be so keepsake token. This pendant can be used as proof to your identity.”

A relic from mother? Lin ngya fiddled with it and thought otherwise.

This jade pendant may look like sothing commonly worn by won, but given how much she was doted upon, this pendant appeared way too shabby for a token.

At the sa ti, Lin ngya had also guessed the enemy’s another intention.

It seed that Lin ngya had to guard against their series of strategies. She might lose everything if she was not cautious.

“Ba, what wild imagination to think to use this cheap jade pendant to falsely claim my identity with! However, it does appear to be so idea thought up by that sister of yours. Aren’t you afraid that she would be after you for seeking refuge with ?”

After acting for a while, Lin ngya did not wish to continue going along with Sui.

At present, she would pretend to believe Sui’s words so she could make Sui useful for a while more.

“Which is why I’m asking Your Highness to wait on you. I have no idea where my sisters found her backing. What if she cos after my life when you’re away? By then, you would’ve lost as your witness!”

The lass was indeed very good at taking advantage of the situation to help her achieve her goal.

Lin ngya threw her glance and instructed Baishao, saying, “Get her to be changed into sothing similar to what you’re wearing. We’re going out, so unlike staying at ho, we have to be very careful.”

“Baishao, make arrangents for Sui to travel with our servants in the sa carriage who are following us on the trip,” Lin ngya continued.

After she was done instructing Baishao, Lin ngya walked out of the back door without even looking back.

Sui’s eyes sparkled, but she was unaware that Lin ngya had completely seen through her evil plans.

Their horse carriages turned out from the back alley behind Prince Shen’s Mansion. Given that this was a newly developed residential area for the rich, small horse carriages like the ones they were riding in were common sights. There would be at least twenty to thirsty such horse carriages passing the area in a single day.

For this reason, they did not attract any attention from the people residing there.

After they exited the city gates safely, they quickly caught up with the larger company which was waiting for the over five kiloters away. Lin ngya, accompanied by Baishao, boarded another plain-looking but spacious horse carriage from then on.

As Lin ngya gazed at the softly padded interior of the horse carriage, she could not help but shake her head and shot a glance at the two n riding on the horses, who were looking at her simultaneously.

Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu were rather in sync with one another in terms of the way they tried to protect her.

Of course she did not forget the involvent of Zuo Qiuchen, who was in the palace.

This was not a good sign and wondered if they had behaved foolishly. She did not feel that being overly protected like a little girl living in the depth of a mansion suited her.

Perhaps she would put all these to an end once her right shoulder recovered fully.

Leaning on the walls of the horse carriage, Lin ngya took out the jade pendant Sui gave her and scrutinized it.

Although the plum flower pattern may not be exactly the sa as the one her mother left for her, she supposed no one would be able to tell the difference until it was soone who knew the truth.

This acted as a reminder to her that apart from Cousin Chen, there were no many others who could attest her identity.

If her opponent were to make use of her identity to corner her, it was not going to be easy on her too.

“Master, are you still studying that item she had given to you? To , I don’t think it’s that big a deal. Even if the people of Lintian were muddleheaded, they would never deny your identity just because of a jade pendant, would they?”

Baishao had made a pot of tea for Lin ngya and spoke those words to cheer Lin ngya up.

Having been staying by her master’s side all these while, she seed to have beco smarter, and the way she handled matter had improved a great deal.

“What you said made sense, but there are still doubts about my identity. Think about it, my mother was rely a teenager when she left the Nation of Lintian. Moreover, her marriage union with my father was not made known to many. Without much evidence, it would be easy for people to make up stories.”

Zuo Qiuyu and Quo Qiuchen both claid that they had made the necessary preparations. Moreover, Lin ngya bore a great resemblance to her mother. The elders would most likely accept her easily.

However, Lin ngya had the feeling that this was not going to turn out so smooth sailing.

“Master, do you an soone wants to take over your position? What good is it to them? Even if soone were to take over your status as Princess Anle in the Nation of Lintian, your status as Princess Yu will never be shaken. If that soone were to offend you, wouldn’t she have offended the entire Dajin?”

Lin ngya gave Baishao a look of approval. She had grown smarter indeed.

She took a sip of tea from the cup. The journey was rather monotonous so she could surely make ti to answer Baishao’s queries and doubts.

“What is critical is the status of being Princess Yu. Although Dajin and Lintian’s relationship had been friendlier over the last few years, wars were ongoing until the ti before I was born. Cousin Chen had said that the older generation court officials and nobles are still residing in the old capital. In nicer terms, they are guarding the old capital as a way of watching over the souls of the past emperors. In fact, they are acting defiantly towards Cousin Chen in an attempt to display their power and past glory. If I was proven to be not the Princess Anle, while I’m still Dajin’s princess as well as General Lin’s daughter, what would be their perception of ?”

Lin ngya had spoken plainly and Baishao seed to have found a direction to her confusion.

She could not help but take in a breath of cold air as she gazed at her master.

“Alas, those people would hate Master Lin. Are you saying that they, they would bring harm upon you and the prince?”

This was a tricky move. Cousin Chen had ant to let her regain the status of Princess Anle. That way, he could settle those scheming people in the Pavilion of Herbs.

Secondly, her special status would coincidentally beco the bridge between the two nations.

Cousin Chen was definitely not a cowardly, self-indulgent ruler who was content to exercise sovereignty over only part of the country.

On the contrary, he was bold and ambitious. Given the opportunity, he would definitely beco an outstanding hero who would give his all to fight for the throne.

However, it was truly not ti to wage a civil war within the Nation of Lintian.

For the sake of the nation’s stability, he was willing to suppress and even sacrifice his ambition.

Cousin Chen’s magnanimity was sufficiently displayed in this aspect.

Unfortunately, the old generation court officials, especially those of noble birth, only knew to work towards their own good and satisfy their selfish ambitions.

They had failed to understand and empathize with the innocent common citizens.
