Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 745 - She Means Well

Chapter 745 She Means Well

“Look at you, what are you preoccupied with?” Lin Mengya pulled Long Tianyu’s sleeve and asked.

It was strange today.

Long Tianyu had rarely been preoccupied as she was, but now he was totally preoccupied.

Even when she tried to confirm the shopping list again, she got no response from him.

She waved her hand in front of Long Tianyu and finally dragged him back from mind-wandering.

“Oh, I’m just thinking about the route to the Qijue Peak. Qinghu told me that you seem to be worried about our trip. I’ve checked all the list, and I’m sure it includes everything we need.” Long Tianyu was obviously not good at lying in front of her.

Of course, it was difficult to change the topic in front of Lin Mengya, who was very observant.

Lin Mengya nodded, did not nail his lie immediately and just regarded his words as truth. She had chest tightness in recent days.

Given her health condition, only a few functions of the Shen Nung system could be activated now.

The Shen Nung System kept sending detection messages to remind her that her body functions had declined to varying degrees.

The poison hidden in her flesh and blood was about to break out.

Fortunately, apart from Qinghu who could treat wounds, the others around her knew nothing about medicine, so they believed everything she said.

She clenched her fists when Long Tianyu did not notice it, thinking that at least she should try all she could to make it to the Qijue Peak.

They set off and continued their journey.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya had been used to traveling during this period of time.

The situation in the Nation of Dongxia could not compare with that in the Jin State.

Although Long Tianyu and Qinghu were not isolated and helpless here, they could not act as freely as they did in their homeland.

Inside the carriage, the three men and Lin Mengya were all drinking the tea she made personally with their minds wandering.

“Mr. Hou, I heard from my brother that you seem to have something else important to attend to,” Lin Mengya raised her eyes slightly to look at Hou Yuetian apologetically and said.

She was a big trouble that seemed to have set Hou Yuetian back in his business.

“It’s alright. I happen to be heading for the Qijue Peak as you do,” Hou Yuetian put down the cup and said with a smile.

In recent days, his tense relations.h.i.+p with Long Tianyu seemed to have eased.

Although Lin Mengya did not know why, she was gratified to see this.

Otherwise, the two of them quarreled with each other every day, which caused her a great headache.

“I remember that you told me you came out to seek a medicinal material for your mother. I’m wondering if the medicinal material you have been seeking can be found on the Qijue Peak. If not, I’m afraid you will go there in vain. Why don’t we help you look for it during our visit there? Meanwhile, you can go to other places to look for it. In this way, you won’t waste time and can have more chances to find it. Let’s meet up in Jiang City no matter we find it or not. What do you think?” Lin Mengya suggested.

But Hou Yuetian’s face obviously darkened.

He could tell that Liu Yu was deeply in love with his future wife.

Otherwise, a man like Liu Yu would not have condescended to take care of a woman every day.

Hou Yuetian showed a subtly helpless look in his eyes.

He had sent someone to find out about the ident.i.ties of these people a few days ago.

However, as he became aware of her ident.i.ty, he had a greater expectation for her.

“Miss, you saved my life. Of course, I can’t forget this. Besides, you three are in the Nation of Dongxia. With me around, it’ll be more convenient for you to do something. My mother is not suffering from an acute disease,” Hou Yuetian said.

He thought that Lin Mengya was trying to send him away considering someone’s feeling.

He did not know that Lin Mengya really meant well, though she was “incited” by someone.

Lin Mengya lowered her eyes. If she continued this topic, she was afraid that Hou Yuetian would consider her ungrateful.

After getting out of Jiang City, they discovered that although the Nation of Dongxia was not exclusive, foreigners could not get in and out of the cities in the Nation of Dongxia without the seal of the Governors’ Mansion.

The seal was equivalent to the pa.s.sport in modern society. Wherever foreigners entered the Nation of Dongxia, they must exchange their official doc.u.ments for it at the Governors’ Mansion.

Although their ident.i.ties were fake, with Hou Yuetian around, they traveled in the Nation of Dongxia smoothly.

She had kept what he had done for them in mind.

Nevertheless, before she fell asleep last night, Long Tianyu had a talk with her, emphasizing that Hou Yuetian seemed to have other business to take care of and his joining in their trip would cause a delay in his business.

It was only then that she remembered that Hou Yuetian came out to seek a medicinal material.

She, who had felt dizzy these days, had forgotten it.

Today she advised him to go back to his business, but he refused tactfully.

With no idea what to say, she lowered her head and stared at the teacup in her hand.

Alas, it was really hard to find a common topic among them.

Among the four of them, Qinghu had always been the smartest and most skilled at resolving awkward situations. With him around, there was almost no need to worry about awkward silence.

However, Qinghu somehow stayed quiet although Lin Mengya kept gazing anxiously at him.

The harmonious atmosphere she had just created in the carriage was spoiled in an instant.

“Alas, I have a headache,” Qinghu suddenly supported his forehead with his hand like a fragile beauty and said.

At the thought that he was trying to start a conversation, Lin Mengya immediately put on a concerned look and asked, “What’s wrong? Did you catch a cold last night?”

However, asked by Lin Mengya earnestly, Qinghu did not appreciate her kindness.

After casting a casual glance at her, he turned his head away and didn’t even bother to answer her.

“Great! How dare he!”

Noticing the atmosphere in the carriage returned to awkward, Lin Mengya was so furious that she wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

She saw that Long Tianyu and Hou Yuetian, who were finally done with glaring at each other, were about to do that again.

Supporting her forehead with her hand, Lin Mengya wondered what was going on in her mind when she invited all three of them to her carriage for tea.

Now it was so boring that she even felt uncomfortable all over.

Gazing into the distance, she found they had left Jiang City and were heading for Xia City.

Perhaps because this area was close to the border, the towns between Jiang City and Xia City were bustling with life.

They always took the paths with few pedestrians when traveling in the Jin State.

But now she was a little tired of the bustling streets.

When she was looking at the scenery outside the window with her chin on her hands and feeling bored, she saw Hou Yuetian, who was beside her, suddenly fixed his eyes somewhere outside the window.

As the carriage sped along, he kept watching and almost clung to the window.

At this moment, Lin Mengya felt she was held by a pair of arms.

Long Tianyu glanced at Hou Yuetian with dissatisfaction, thinking, “You tried to approach my wife? In your dream!”

“Stop it.” Nestling in Long Tianyu’s arms, Lin Mengya warned him and pinched him secretly.

After that, she glanced at Hou Yuetian with great interest.

However, he fixed his eyes somewhere outside the window and did not return to himself long after the carriage moved past the place.

During this period of time, Lin Mengya was aware that Mr. Hou was shrewd and deep despite his graceful bearing. What could carry him away should be something serious.

She and Long Tianyu exchanged glances silently and noticed a curious look in each other’s eyes, but they were definitely not gloating over it.

After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya thought that it was better to wait for him to mention it.

Wouldn’t she seem too gossipy if she asked now?

“No... Impossible! It can’t be him!” Hou Yuetian said.

From his tone, Lin Mengya was sure that he was shocked.

At this moment, Hou Yuetian collapsed on his seat dejectedly, out of his wits.

Thousands of possibilities flashed across Lin Mengya’s mind.

Given his current situation, he must have seen his ex-girlfriend or old enemy.

Considering Hou Yuetian had no interest in beauties and even did not bother to cast a glance at any of them, Lin Mengya tended to believe he had seen his ex-girlfriend.

At the thought of this possibility, she immediately cleared her throat and asked the coachman to pull over.

“Mr. Hou? Mr. Hou?” After calling Hou Yuetian gently twice, she finally dragged him back from mind-wandering.

Lin Mengya spread out her hands, pointed out the window, and put on a considerate look.

“Oh, I’m sorry that I have to go out and have a look. Don’t wait for me. After arriving at Xia City, I’ll go to find you and won’t delay your business,” Hou Yuetian said.

He, who had shown a look of disbelief a moment ago, now was unbearably anxious to get out of the carriage.

Lin Mengya thought she might have guessed right and immediately gave him a gesture as a hint for him to go ahead.

Seeing that Hou Yuetian disappeared in a flash after getting out of the carriage, Lin Mengya tried to suppress her stirring curiosity.

Qinghu, who had supported his forehead with his hand like a fragile beauty, immediately became lively and curious.

“What do you think? Shall I follow him?” He moved to the carriage door, looked in the direction, where Hou Yuetian had left, as Lin Mengya did, and asked.

“Forget it. I guess he will definitely come back a moment later,” shaking her head, Lin Mengya, who nestled in Long Tianyu’s arms, said with inexplicable certainty.

Sure enough, before she finished her sentence, Hou Yuetian, who had gone, came back.

This time, he did not get in the carriage. Instead, he led a horse from one of his subordinates in a hurry, mounted his horse and sped away.

“Well, you can follow him now, but you should hurry up,” Lin Mengya said confidently, which aroused Qinghu’s doubt.

He had little interest in others’ privacy, but now they were on the same boat.

If Hou Yuetian were to do something irrational and implicate them, it would cause them trouble.

As such, under Lin Mengya’s expectant gaze, Qinghu flew to follow Hou Yuetian with the intention of watching him.
