Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 490 Attack in Secret

Not wanting to alarm anyone, Lin Mengya supported Ling Ye and helped him back into her room.

It was only after she lit the light that she realized how badly Ling Ye was injured.

His clothes were torn and tattered, having slit open by some sharp weapons.

Moreover, just by taking a glance at them, she could tell that those weapons used to injure Ling Ye had poison on them.

Fortunately, she had given Long Tianyu and Ling Ye a few pills of poison antidotes, otherwise, Ling Ye would have died from the poison there and then.

“We met up with our men just outside the city. Who would have known that right after they left, a group of men began catching at us?! His Highness, the prince defended us bravely but eventually, he was overcome by seized by them. It was because His Highness instructed me to employ a slow breathing technique to minimize the use of energy that I finally managed to escape their examination.

Lin Mengya made Ling Ye take more pills before his situation improved a little.

Finally, Lin Mengya understood how the circumstances under which Long Tianyu was abducted.

“Was His Highness injured?”

While sitting down, she realized her vision darkened intermittently.

Her breathing quickened as she stared at the badly injured Ling Ye.

“No, they did not hurt His Highness.”

Ling Ye shook his head as he responded.

Tightening her fist, Lin Mengya appeared calm, but her body, which had stiffened from anxiety gave her emotions away.

She struggled hard to remind herself not to panic and be overly anxious. She had to remain calm otherwise Long Tianyu would be in danger.

“According to your account, it seemed that their intention was merely to take His Highness away quietly. Were there no other survivors apart from you?”

Ling Ye pondered carefully but finally shook his head.

The reason he escaped death was that he had used the slow breathing technique. Secondly, while he was covered with poisoned wounds. If it were another person, he would not be so lucky.

“Damn!”

Lin Mengya cursed. She should have thought of it, if after all, it was Li Yuan who had organized for the spies to infiltrate them.

In that case, every move made by Long Tianyu would have been noted by him who already harbor an evil intention against him.

However, she remained perplexed about why these people wanted to capture Long Tianyu quietly.

“Your Highness, the prince is in grave danger. Please decide on what to do immediately.”

Ling Ye had been struggling to hold up and he was starting to sound more anxious and impatient.

Long Tianyu was their greatest concern. Although Lin Mengya was at a loss of what to do by now, she was still trying hard to suppress her emotions.

At this moment, her slender fingers had grasped at her shirt so tightly that it was crumpled.

“You shall try to recuperate from your injuries here and make sure no one discovers your existence. As for Long Tianyu, I will think of a solution.”

Anxious as Ling Ye was, he could only hang his hope on the princess.

After holding up for so long, he finally lost all strength to support himself. He rolled his eyes and fell into unconsciousness.

The bed was quickly stained with Ling Ye’s blood.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya could not be bothered about cleaning up the bed. How she wished she could be teleported to Long Tianyu’s side at this instant.

However, reality had forced her to attend to Ling Ye’s injury first.

In the light of the event, those men who followed Long Tianyu here were likely completely defeated by now. Zuo Qiuyu, on the other hand, was having difficulty coping with Li Yuan.

At this moment, she could only count on herself.

Sighing, Lin Mengya got up and started attending to Ling Ye’s injury with her good hand.

He had rolled his eyes and lost all sense of time. Nevertheless, the bleeding would finally stop.

With his eyes tightly closed, his ordinary face, which was usually veiled, was drained of any color at this moment.

Ling Mengya unintentionally discovered a secret that Ling Ye’s face seemed fake.

As a test, she reached out to tug at the skin around one of the small wounds on his face with some force.

A face mask as thin as the wings of an insect’s wing began crumpling on his face like ripples.

The face behind the mask was as pale and Lin Mengya drew in a breath at what came into sight.

How...

His eyes were narrow and long and his long lashes cast a small shadow on his face.

Below his tall nose was his thin pale lips. Lin Mengya felt a little faint.

The Ling Ye rid of the face mask had a strong resemblance to Long Tianyu.

Nevertheless, there was no way she would mistake someone else as her husband.

However, if it were someone who was not as intimate with Long Tianyu would definitely mistake the two for the same person.

Compared to Long Tianyu’s handsome but aloof look, Ling Ye’s countenance was not as cold and less angular.

Nevertheless, Lin Mengya was stunned at seeing Ling Ye’s countenance.

She gently undid Ling Ye’s shirt and saw that the slash wounds on his fair skin had turned dark red at the effect of the poison.

Lin Mengya had no better solution than to apply the medication to his wounds.

Fortunately, they were mostly external wounds and his tendons and bones were not hurt, otherwise it would be many times more difficult to treat.

Lin Mengya had to use both her hand and mouth to bandage up his wounds as best as she could.

Not to mention how exhausted she was, by the time she finished bandaging Ling Ye, the sky was already bright.

Panting, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of perspiration.

The servants who came to into the courtyard to sweep and tidy up the place were being cleverly sent away by Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya settled down at the couch with her eyes half-closed. She would be widely awake the moment there was any movement.

Finally, after a while, there was a movement on the bed.

Lin Mengya’s bloodshot eyes, which had worked through the night without any rest, turned to the person on the bed and looked intently at his movement.

“Er...”

A low, painful cry echoed from the bed. Although the medication for external injuries invented by her teacher would inflict great pain, its effect far exceeded other medications.

It was especially effective when used for poisoned wounds of this nature.

At the same time, the pain brought about by this medication was similar to the effect of putting salt on the wounds. Even a tough man like Ling Ye could not hold back a groan.

“Don’t move. What do you want to tell me? Be careful not to let the wounds open up again. It took great effort to stop the wounds from bleeding.”

Ling Ye was gripped with excruciating pain all over his body, but Lin Mengya’s tender voice had managed to stop him from moving.

Instinctively he touched his face and realized that it felt different from normal times and there was a moment of panic.

However, this only lasted for a moment.

“I understand. Many powerful and rich people wound find and nurture someone who resembles themselves. Firstly, he could be a substitute, and secondly, it could avoid many troubles.”

Lin Mengya took the initiative to explain, thereby eliminating the awkwardness.

Looking at Ling Ye’s face, Lin Mengya finally understood why Qinghu used to call him a paralyzed face.

It was no wonder that his face looked paralyzed, after all he had always been wearing a face mask.

“Your Highness, the Pavilion of Herbs had delivered the ceremonial costumes for Your Highness and Prince Yu. Please try it on to see if they are fitting. If they’re not fitting, I will have the tailor make alterations.”

Yu An’s respectful voice sounded from outside the door.

Lin Mengya frowned, then she suddenly remembered that she and Long Tianyu were to attend the preliminary rounds of the medical skill competition together.

However, she was still clueless as to who had captured Long Tianyu. Unless they released Long Tianyu on their own accord, there was no way he could make it to the event.

In that instant, her line of vision fell on Ling Ye.

She sighed softly. It seemed that she had to resort to this method of fraud.

“Bring them in. His Highness had not gotten out of bed yet. You may leave the costumes at the doorstep.”

At Lin Mengya’s words, Ling Ye lifted his head and gave the princess a dubious look.

A possible thought flashed across his mind and immediately, an awkward expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, Lin Mengya had already gone to the door to carry the two sets of clothes back into the bedroom.

The costumes of the Nation of Lintian differed from that in Jin State in terms of style. The material was made of pure white linen. The front openings and cuffs were lined with golden fabric.

Apart from being solemn in appearance, there was an air of grace and elegance.

“May I ask you to try it on for me? Long Tianyu was a little bigger than you, but we can always make some alterations.”

Lin Mengya had taken out the male costume first, and she had laid it before Ling Ye.

“This... Your Highness, I don’t think this is a good idea. At this moment, you should be thinking about how to save Prince Yu, rather than making me take his place.”

Lin Mengya sighed as she gazed at the costumes with a helpless look in her eyes.

“Do you think I’m not anxious? Think about it, when someone was trying to lay hands on me in the mansion, you guys were ambushed just outside. Moreover, Prince Yu had been quietly taken captive. Do you think this was all coincidence?”

Lin Mengya was able to think carefully through all that had happened. She only had to think through some things to understand the key to the problem.

The abduction of Long Tianyu and herself had happened back to back.

Once she linked this together, she could vaguely figure out the objective of their enemies.

“Do you mean...”

“Someone intended to make use of our identity, but not just as a puppet. They must be holding on to some useful information. If Long Tianyu and I fall into their hands, we would have to submit to them. If at this moment, Long Tianyu and I turned against each other, what do think their final objective is?”

Ling Ye’s mind turned around and instantly understood what the princess was saying.

“Yes, it the position of the First Elder of the Pavilion of Herbs!”

Lin Mengya nodded. In fact, what she had thought of was far more serious than even this.

However, she had yet to lay hold of any concrete evidence, so she could only keep this suspicion in her heart.

“I get it now.”

Ling Ye took over the costume Lin Mengya was holding on to and let down the curtain. Thereafter, Lin Mengya pushed through the door and went outside.

The morning air was refreshing to the spirit of man.

Since they arrived at the old capital, Lin Mengya’s health seemed to improve a great deal.

She strolled leisurely into the bamboo forest and sat down at a stone stool. It was only when she was out of sight to anyone that she released the helpless feeling she suppressed in her heart.

“Where on earth are you, Long Tianyu?”

The tears in her eyes started flowing down her cheeks unconsciously.

Lin Mengya took deep breaths to soothe the suffocating feeling in her chest which she had been suppressing.
