Chapter 503 Malicious Heart

They were so anxious to get out of the city just a moment ago, but now, they wanted to go back.

Lin Mengya was even more certain that that the sedan was carrying some pregnant woman!

“Wait sir, the city gates would be opened soon. Moreover, didn’t you say that your daughter-in-law was about to give birth? You should know that the baby could come out anytime!”

Wearing a sincere expression on her face, Lin Mengya tried to stop the man. She was not giving any chances to this man.

“Miss, you’re absolutely right, but, but if I delay longer, I’m afraid two lives would be taken! You, bring her back home! We’ll get the physician and the midwife!”

The man seemed to become very anxious as a thin layer of perspiration appeared on his forehead. He waved his arms, indicating to his men to carry the sedan and leave.

“Really? Let me take a look in that case. I’m also a physician and I can help you take care of her. You should go to fetch the physician and midwife right now, and you should not delay but go as quickly as possible!”

Lin Mengya was not going to let any opportunity slip, so she spoke before the man could answer.

Being pestered by her and feeling anxious, he actually reached out and gave Lin Mengya a push.

“How audacious! How dare you lay a hand on my master! Men, seize him!”

Yu An had been waiting on her by her side and the moment the princess was being shoved aside, he roared immediately.

The guards at the city gates who were waiting to act on instruction quickly surrounded that man and the sedan.

The faces of those men by the sedan changed but they did not have the audacity to get into a fight with the guards who made up the majority.

“Miss, I did not mean to be rude! Moreover, we cannot delay my daughter-in-law any longer!”

The man did not expect the guards at the city gates, who seemed harmless just a moment ago had become his enemy in an instant.

What was even more unexpected was that this graceful woman, who tried to comfort him with kind words just a moment ago, was now wearing a cold smile on her face.

“Daughter-in-law? If the person in the sedan is truly your daughter-in-law, then the Immortal Powder must be for her to relieve her pain!”

Lin Mengya had suppressed her voice so that it was soft and low.

Nevertheless, the rising wrath in her voice could not be concealed.

The moment the term ‘Immortal Powder’ was mentioned, the man’s facial expression changed and his face drained of its colors.

He adverted his eyes and was about to open his mouth to quibble.

“Men, seize all of them and send them to the Crown Prince’s Mansion!”

At Yu An’s command, the leader of the guards at the city gates immediately led a group of guards to assist them.

Not far from there was the camp for the city guards. At this juncture, having received orders from Prince Shen, the guards from the camp were coming towards them with torches.

“Do move. Just follow us on this trip.”

The man was smart. At this moment, he knew that while it was easy for them to escape, it would be extremely difficult to escape carrying the sedan.

“Oh no! They are ingesting the poison!”

A message regarding a potent poison suddenly flashed across Lin Mengya’s mind.

It was too late. Those few men had ingested the poison simultaneously. In the blink for an eye, bizarre dark blood oozed out from all seven apertures of their heads.

By the time she reacted, there was no way to save those men.

“Damn!”

Never would she expect the lead she almost got hold of was lost so abruptly.

Lin Mengya was certain that she would not be able to find anything from the biopsy of the corpses.

After interacting with the man, Lin Mengya could tell that they had everything planned to the details and that they were ruthless. It was impossible for Lin Mengya to get anything out of them.

“Your Highness, the men are gone. What should we do with them?”

At this moment, the guards at the city gates did not dare to try to hide anything. After all, these men had died. It would be difficult for him to account for if he had mobilized even the guards from the camp.

“Burn everything.”

Lin Mengya could not be bothered to check out the corpses but walked briskly towards the sedan.

She reached out her hand and gently lifted its curtain.

After taking one glance, a shocked expression appeared on Lin Mengya’s face.

She shot a look of hatred and malice at the dead men.

Luckily they had died early, otherwise Lin Mengya would surely torment them to the point that they rather die.

“Yu An, carry the sedan back. Go slowly to make sure it goes steadily.”

Yu An quickly instructed men to carry the sedan and Lin Mengya looked on anxiously. Soon, she boarded the horse carriage after Yu An hastened her to do so.

All along the way, she tried her best to control her emotions.

At this moment of rage, she almost threw away her rationality completely.

“Bang!” Lin Mengya slammed the side of the horse carriage.

Damn it! How dare those men did this to Long Tianyu!

Her eyes were glued to the sedan in fear that the one in the sedan would suffer more torment.

With much difficulties, the sedan finally came to a stop at the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

By this time, Zuo Qiuyu, who had received news had rushed back from the banquet.

“My dear cousin, you...”

The moment he approached Lin Mengya, Zuo Qiuyu noticed the icy coldness on Lin Mengya’s countenance.

The messenger only told him the Lin Mengya had brought back a sedan, could it be...

“Let’s go in first before we speak. I will trouble the few of you to carry the sedan into my courtyard.”

With a severe expression on her face, she personally oversaw the whole process of the sedan being carried into her courtyard.

“Yu An, please have everyone leave and not come in.”

Lin Mengya stood in front of the sedan. There was a pained look in her eyes.

Despite being a strong woman, surprisingly, she was beginning to tremble.

“Is Prince Yu inside?”

Ling Ye’s figure appeared behind Lin Mengya and as he spoke, he sounded agitated.

Lin Mengya nodded as she suppressed the rage rising from within her heart.

She gently lifted the curtain and the heavily bound figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The Long Tianyu in the sedan was writhing violently.

His face was drained of its colors and his dark eyes were filled with bewilderment and confusion.

He was being gagged by the white silk cloth, and the blood-red teeth-bite stain on it was glaring.

“It’s me, Long Tianyu. Look at me!”

Lin Mengya could not help but took a step closer to him.

The person inside the sedan seemed to have heard her calling. His eyes which had lost their focus were working hard trying to focus on her.

Long Tianyu’s body tilted towards Lin Mengya and then he fell into her arms.

It was at this moment that Lin Mengya noticed that the tattered clothes on him were soaked with bloodstains.

“Your Highness, Prince Yu!”

“Long Tianyu!”

Ling Ye and Zuo Qiuyu cried out in astonishment.

Heartbroken, Lin Mengya held on to Long Tianyu’s body. However, she did not remove the white gag in his mouth, neither did she instruct anyone to untie him.

“Give me a hand and help him onto the bed. Remember, don’t undo ropes, neither should you remove the gag in his mouth.”

Lin Mengya felt as if a knife were piercing her heart. Just a few days ago, Long Tianyu was still high-spirited and vigorous.

However, now he had been so badly tortured half to death.

Soon, Zuo Qiuyu and Ling Ye helped Long Tianyu onto the bed.

At this moment, he was gasping for breath as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

It seemed that he did not even have the strength to make any struggle.

He was in a daze and his eyes seemed to devoid of any sign of life.

Lin Mengya knelt in front of him and removed the gag from his mouth so gently as if she was fearful that she would hurt him.

“Please take, take my life...”

Despite looking as if he was breathing his last, Long Tianyu seemed determined.

Under the light, his handsome face was so pale that it appeared blue, and there was dried up blood at the corners of his mouth. The sight of him startled Lin Mengya.

“No, you’ll get well. You’ll definitely get well.”

Her tears, no matter how many times she tried to suppress them, came welling up in her eyes.

Not bothered at all by the stench of blood on Long Tianyu’s body, Lin Mengya embraced his head and started weeping bitterly.

Burning tears flowed down his neck and gradually seeped into Long Tianyu’s body.

He seemed to regain consciousness. His glassy eyes began to focus on the figure leaning against his body.

“You... go away! Get lost! It’s my imagination again! I’m not going to be defeated by unreal images!”

Long Tianyu roared in his deep voice, then he bit down on his lips in an attempt to make himself come to his senses.

However, the so-called ‘unreal image’ offered up her lips to him.

The subtle fragrance which he missed so much filled the air he inhaled in that instant.

Long Tianyu was stunned instantly. How was this possible...

“I’m not something you imagined. It’s me, it’s me! Long Tianyu, you’re back. I’ve finally brought you back!”

With trembling hands, Lin Mengya traced his sunken cheeks.

Those men had employed such ruthless means. They had used the Immortal Powder on Long Tianyu.

The Immortal Powder was a highly refined poison consisting of many ingredients.

It could completely destroy a person in a single dose.

The dosage given to Long Tianyu by those people could completely destroy him.

They were so cruel. This was more tormenting to Long Tianyu than killing him.

“Mengya, kill me. I’m... I’m no longer complete...”

Long Tianyu had lost the vitality he used to have in his eyes.

He was completely dispirited and decadent.

Lin Mengya had not permitted anyone to untie him a moment ago because then, the poison in him was still taking its effect.

What would he do the next time the poison showed its effects? Did he have to rely on those harmful drugs to keep him alive for the rest of his days?

It would be better to let him die if this was the case.

“No! You are talking silly. Perhaps no one else has the solution, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t help. Don’t forget that I’m your wife, one of the best physicians specialized in poison and drugs. I will surely make you well, surely.”

Lin Mengya was not bit bothered by the filth on Long Tianyu’s body.

She held on tenderly to his arm and spoke words of comfort to him.

“Really? But... this Immortal Powder is not any regular poison, I...”

Prior to this, Long Tianyu had always been so daring and energetic. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could defeat him.

Now, however, his pride had been brought down by the Immortal Powder.

Looking at how hesitant and pained he was, it worsened Lin Mengya’s heart break.

Lin Mengya nodded. She took over the wet tower offered by Zuo Qiuyu and gently wiped away the blood at the corners of Long Tianyu’s mouth.

“Of course. No matter how poisonous the Immortal Powder, that is all it is. As long as it’s a kind of poison, I would be able to solve the problem!”
