Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 866

Chapter 866 Xin Li’s Movement

Before dawn, an un.o.btrusive carriage quietly left the palace from the most inconspicuous side door of the palace.

Lin Mengya and Ningqiu sat quietly in the carriage. On the shaft of the carriage, Baisu and Qinghu, dressed as a guard, sat outside. Although their expressions were calm, their eyes were keen enough to take in all the signs of disturbance around them.

No one was informed of their trip this time. It was a complete secret.

Therefore, the safety of Lin Mengya and the others was well guaranteed. Besides, they were also protected by Baisu and Qinghu, so she didn’t have to worry too much.

The carriage left the royal city and the party traveled very smoothly because of the secret protection of the Emperor and his wife.

After hastening the journey for three days without stopping, they finally slowed down a little.

“Do you know where Xiaoyu and the others are?”

Lin Mengya lifted the curtain of the palanquin and asked softly.

In the past few days, they had been busy with the journey. First, they wanted to get away from the royal city as soon as possible. Second, they wanted to catch up with Xiaoyu this morning.

“All is well on the Young Master’s side. The Emperor and Prince Lie have sent the most powerful masters to protect him. They are also halfway there now and can probably arrive a day or two before us. But I don’t know how the Xin Family will react.”

They were all rus.h.i.+ng to Yushan County, the seat of the Xin Family.

The Xin Family was like a local tyrant there. Even the forces of the Emperor did not dare to offend them so easily.

Now that she and Xiaoyu were obviously going to pick a fight, even she could not have antic.i.p.ated how the Xin Family would react.

Anyway, the Xin Family probably wouldn’t be nice to them.

“No matter how they react, on the surface, they are still loyal to the Emperor and his family. Naturally, they have to be polite to Xiaoyu as well. My only concern is whether Xin Li will show up.”

Before she left the palace, Madam had asked her to go to the bedchamber and gave her some careful instructions. Only then did the Madam feel at ease to let her out.

Among these instructions, there were some secrets about the Xin Family.

With these things in her hands, Lin Mengya had no worries that the Xin Family would not take the bait.

But the premise was that Xin Li did not recognize her ident.i.ty. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would be in trouble.

“Don’t worry, Miss. Perhaps the G.o.ds have blessed Miss and the Young Master as well. The Xin Family’s clansmen outside have mysteriously disappeared one after another. Xin Li was sent to investigate this matter as soon as he came out of seclusion. For a while, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to return to Yushan County, so we can do whatever we want.”

There was a smile in Baisu’s cold eyes. This was good news. It was obviously a good sign before they started to move.

“The clansmen of the Xin Family disappeared mysteriously? When did that happen? Are there any clues?”

Ever since she knew that blood sacrifices could open the gates of the paradise city, Lin Mengya paid special attention to such things.

Baisu, however, shook her head. If it had been so easy to find out, the Xin Family would not have sent Xin Li to investigate this matter.

“Later on, send someone to keep an eye on it. The situation in Lieyun is so chaotic now that we have to get all the clues.”

Baisu nodded. It was the easiest thing for her to carry out Lin Mengya’s orders.

“My little girl, you are more and more likely to think too much.”

Lin Mengya glanced at Qinghu who was at leisure. She did not think too much about it.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong with being careful. She did not want to let an important clue slip because of her carelessness.

“You are indeed different from us. When I saw you for the first time, I knew that you were the one who would do great things.”

In the carriage, Ningqiu looked at Lin Mengya, who was giving orders calmly, only to feel that she was somewhat strange.

It seemed that there was a fundamental difference between Lin Mengya and Sister Helan, whom she was familiar with in the palace.

She looked at her in admiration with her big eyes. She was looking forward to being someone like the Madam.

But she didn’t expect that this Miss Helan beside her, at such a young age, was no less decisive than the Madam.

“It’s not the matter of doing great things or minor things. I was forced to do so. Who can live as they wish in this world? In fact, you are also more powerful than you think, but you just don’t notice it.”

For Ningqiu, Lin Mengya actually admired her for her courage and resilience.

Becoming the chosen witch meant that she had to go deep into the wolf’s mouth and put herself in danger.

In just three days, Ningqiu had suffered a lot because she had to become the chosen witch.

But Ningqiu gritted her teeth and held on. On this point, Lin Mengya felt that she could not do the same thing.

“How can I compare with you? I’m not afraid of being laughed at by you. In fact, I want to make myself more useful. In the palace, those who are useless are better off dead than alive. Although Madam loves me very much, if I want to protect myself, I can only be more useful.”

A touch of bitterness at the corner of Ningqiu’s mouth stung Lin Mengya’s heart.

After thinking for a while, all she could think of was Long Tianyu.

That person was destined to be the ruler of Dajin. Could it be that she could only become the most useful person in order to keep Long Tianyu’s mind on her forever?

A sudden flash of sadness came over Lin Mengya. “No, I must not live like this!”

“Miss? Miss?”

Looking at Helan who was talking to her just now seemingly lost in thought, Ningqiu couldn’t help calling her.

Looking at Ningqiu blankly, Lin Mengya realized that she was out of order.

Smiling apologetically, she then turned her gaze out of the window.

After tidying up her unsettled mind, she continued their conversation.

“In fact, you don’t have to be so worried, Ningqiu. Although it’s a challenge for you to stay in the Xin Family, it also could be an opportunity. Although you only have half a year, there are many things you can do.”

The chosen witch had an extremely high status in the Xin Family.

She had heard from the Madam that this was the only spiritual leader position that could compete with the High Priest.

On the surface, the Xin Family was peaceful, but in fact, its power distribution was also divided into several parts.

Xin Luan had his own followers, and Xin Li also had his own personal guards.

And there were quite a few people like Xin Yu who acted in the dark.

Therefore, the chosen witch was their chance.

It was an opportunity to completely destroy or conquer the Xin Family, and Ningqiu was the key to this matter.

“Do you mean that you want me to persuade the Xin Family to support the Ninth Prince?”

No wonder she was chosen by Madame Jingrou. She was really agile and smart.

Lin Mengya nodded and said slowly, “In addition, there are many other things you can do. The Xin Family is not so united as a piece of iron. And if you have the will, it will not be difficult to divide them. But you have to remember one thing. The taste of power is certainly a great source of pleasure, but if you don’t have the ability to handle it, you will end up being troubled by it.”

Lin Mengya had always put the unpleasant words first. Once Ningqiu had successfully become the chosen witch, she would be faced with praises or slanders, all of which would flock to her.

The tentative or flattering words were nothing new to Ningqiu, though.

But this should be the first time that she was in the center of a whirlpool. So, Lin Mengya had to warn Ningqiu in advance, lest she would become a scourge in the end.

Of course, once that happened, they would certainly bear the brunt of cutting out the traitor.

But Lin Mengya had a good impression of Ningqiu, so she was not annoyed and tried to instruct her.

“You’re right, Miss. I will stick to my original heart and never forget my duty.”

Ningqiu’s eyes were clear. In fact, Lin Mengya’s worry was somewhat superfluous.

Over the years, Ningqiu had been by the Madam’s side, watching, listening, and experiencing many things.

She had seen through some things at an early age.

Otherwise, she would not be so loyal to the Madam who was in such a disadvantageous situation.

“That’s good. Don’t blame me for talking tough. But what we need to do is to sacrifice our lives. In the next few days, my brother will teach you something. Just do it. Don’t worry about anything else for the time being.”

On the outside, Lin Mengya had always introduced Qinghu as her elder brother.

However, after Ningqiu heard her words, for some reason, her pretty face blushed.

She looked at Lin Mengya hesitantly, then looked at the direction of the carriage door with her watery eyes, and asked in a low voice, “He… I mean that child, is he really your elder brother? He is so beautiful. I think he is more beautiful than girls!”

Following Ningqiu’s gaze, Lin Mengya just glanced at the swaying figure outside.

“Yes, he looks beautiful, but he tends not to be a stable and reliable person. But just learn from him. Don’t let him teach you anything bad. This elder brother is not a good person.”

A cold grunt of dissatisfaction came from Qinghu outside, and Lin Mengya retorted without hesitation.

To be frank, she was a little jealous of that shameless fox.

Not to mention other things, Lin Mengya was furious when she saw that he was in his fifties with a face in his twenties.

However, such an eternity of looks was at the cost of a descent into h.e.l.l.

If Qinghu had a choice, he would have allowed himself to grow old instead of being a young walking dead like this.

“Thank you.”

Ningqiu said politely, but it was so awkward that there was not even a sound outside.

Lin Mengya waved her hand and motioned for Ningqiu not to mind. Then, she began to fiddle with the herbs in the horse carriage.

For the past few days, Lin Mengya had been thinking about a problem. Her uncle had told her that if she wanted to open the gate of the paradise city, she had to sacrifice the blood of a specific group of people.

And she remembered the information revealed on the slate that Xiu brought over that day.

One of the protectors betrayed the others, even wis.h.i.+ng to open the gate of the paradise city.

The Zuo Family was a clan of protectors that had been pa.s.sed down since the Guwei State. If the paradise city they were looking for was real, could there be protectors like them in the paradise city?

At this moment, Lin Mengya wanted to see the so-called paradise city as a myth or as an ancient city similar to Loulan.

If even the original protectors and Candle Dragon Cult couldn’t open the gate of the paradise city, then this paradise city was either too secretive…

Or…

Lin Mengya’s eyes suddenly became bright, and she quickly thought of something else.

The Divine Witch came from an underground city, and so did the previous generations of Divine Witches.

Then, could she a.s.sume that the paradise city was also a mysterious underground city?
