Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 255 Persuading Her Father

“No, in fact, both brother and I are eager for knowing the stories between you and mother.”

When Mrs. Lin passed away, Lin Nansheng was just a small child. Thus, he knew nothing better of their mother than Lin Mengya.

“Glad to hear that, girl. Well, these are actually old stories. Back when I brought you to the capital, your mother started to treat patients in the city to kill time, and got known as a highly-skilled physician by everyone. They even admired her 'Jade-faced Physician'. Thanks to the magic elixir your mother took during her pregnancy, your brother was born with a solid martial foundation. Even your grandpa was surprised by your brother's strong physique when he was born.”

Lin Nansheng scratched his head in shyness despite what his father said was true.

He had always been physically stronger than those of his age since he was a child. Thus, he never failed to win the fights of defending his younger sister.

“Well, it seems I'm indeed a born talent. Tell you what, father, my teacher is no ordinary master, but when I first met him, he insisted that I be his disciple. I have to thanks mother for giving me her talent.”

Either in this life or the past life, mother was a rarely-spoken word to Lin Mengya.

In her past life, she spent her childhood in an orphanage, where the head doted on her, but not only her. In this life, she lost her mother when she was only a baby. However, from her father words, she seemed to glimpse a gorgeous woman whom her father had been in deep love with for dozens of years.

She felt closer to her mother through their shared talent in medical skills.

“That's good. Since you have taken this way, work hard. Your mother must be pleased to see you inherit her career from heaven.”

Lin Mengya nodded at the words. She had never thought that her mother was once a physician.

“Since it's so, father, I want to enter the royal palace to treat His Majesty's illness, in the name of the inheritor of 'Jade-faced Physician'. Those who Mother had healed certainly have confidence in me, and they will be a strong force of my use. What do you day, father?”

Lin Muzhi's face remained serious even after he saw the expectation in his daughter's eyes.

Staring at her for quite a while, he finally replied, “Why are you so insistent on entering the palace, Ya'er? Is it for Prince Yu?”

Lin Mengya's face immediately blushed at the words. The answer was self-evident given the looks of her.

Lin Muzhi sighed. He never changed his attitude of disapproval towards his daughter's marriage in fact, despite that she was old enough to make a decision and that she had married Prince Yu for long.

Lin Muzhi persuaded Lin Mengya with earnest words as he caressed her on her head.

“To be honest, both your brother and I are satisfied with Prince Yu. He is a good man, yet, you have gone through much after becoming his wife, haven't you? Once you're in the royal palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you by then. You're a smart girl, but the situation in the palace is too treacherous and unpredictable, can you handle it?”

Actually, Lin Mengya had considered the danger brought by her decision, but she had no other choice. Once the emperor died of illness and the Crown Prince assumed the throne, that would be the end of Long Tianyu, as well as the Lin Family.

When the nest is overturned, no egg stays unbroken. Lin Mengya had to think of a way to have the emperor return to his throne.

“I know you're worried about me, father, and that things will be quite complicated in the palace. But His Majesty will die without timely treatment. I was born to this family, of course, I have to think for it. So, please rethink it, father, and support me.”

Lin Mengya's words made sense, over which Lin Muzhi could not help but ponder.

The emperor's illness continued to grow worse. Even those elder officials' request of seeing the emperor would be turned down by the empress, let alone other juniors'.

These elders might be able to contend with the Crown Prince and the empress in terms of politics, but they could not stop anything from shaking the country if the emperor died.

“Go back first, girl. I need some time to consider it. Remember, do not do stupid things. Even if you were to enter the palace, you'll have to be fully-prepared.”

Lin Muzhi compromised finally. It was impossible for the family to remain neutral now.

“Alright. I'll go now, take a good rest, father and brother.”

Lin Mengya did not want to push her father too hard. Compared to her father, they, the youngers, were too reckless. Even if she managed to enter the palace, she still needed her father's help so as to meet the emperor and avoid the empress and her adherents.

As Princess Yu, it was inappropriate for her to stay at her parents' home.

It was pitch dark now, and heavy snow was falling.

Lin Nansheng, who had fallen sick, did not see Lin Mengya out given that she insisted he not. However, he still worried about her safety and sent a team of guards to escort her.

. “Baizhi, do you remember, when we were small, we would roll on the snow in our yard every time it snowed.”

The past was like a dream. Who would have thought that the silly girl, who had to keep running to warm herself in every snowfall, had become the honorable Princess Yu.

Dressed in silk and marten coat and hat, she no longer felt cold now.

“Of course. Back then, others all thought you loved snowy day, but in fact, you did not at all.”

Lin Mengya put out her hands to catch the snowflake.

When Lin Mengya just arrived in this world and realized she gained a new identity, she was not accustomed to it.

However, after this half of a year, she seemed to have merged with the past Lin Mengya. She even felt as if these strange memories were something she experienced. Both pain and happiness seemed to have taken root in her.

Otherwise, she would not have been so concerned about Lin Nansheng and protecting the family.

Either way, she failed to avoid being assimilated by her new identity. Nevertheless, she understood this was the best for the current situation.

“Lass, I came to pick you up.”

As the familiar voice sounded, Lin Mengya looked sideways and saw Qinghu, who had a smile on his handsome face.

He seemed to have lost some weight. He wore a white fox-fur cloak, and the smooth fur added him with some elegance.

At present, it was hard for others to recognize him from the terrifying owner of Peach Blossom Dock.

Qinghu tied up his hair, revealing his handsome face totally. At the moment, he looked more like a rich young playboy of the capital.

“I thought I've told you I would go back myself. You know, you didn't have to suffer this coldness to pick me up. The colder you're, the faster the poison in your body will take effect.”

Qinghu smiled casually. He shrugged his shoulders and leaned to Lin Mengya.

Holding his chin in one hand, he stared at Lin Mengya, saying, “Don't worry. Your teacher is indeed capable. He made many pills recently, and I took all of them on time. Though it's not enough to neutralize the poison in my body, it earned me more time.”

Lin Mengya smiled bitterly to herself. Qinghu's case was quite special.

In terms of the years he had lived, he should be an old man of fifty or sixty. However, the poison that he was forced to take in when he was a child, ruined his health but meanwhile, also retained his youthful look.

Moreover, it even kept his body condition of that of a man at twenty or thirty.

In other words, Qinghu's life relied on the poison. Once the poison was removed, he would die.

“You're a fool. Can't you see there are still many people on the street. My father also sent a team of guards to protect me. So, don't worry, I'll be fine.”

However, Qinghu pestered Lin Mengya unless she promised she would bring him with her when she went out.

Lin Mengya had no choice but agreed with him. She did not understand why Xiaoyu, who rarely acted pettishly in front of her, was more and more used to these behaviors.

Nevertheless, seeing the pettish behaviors from such a mean man, she turned wordless.

As the carriage got closer and closer to Prince Yu's Mansion, Lin Mengya yawned. Inside the carriage was warm. The curtain was pulled down, so, not a trace of wind could sneak in.

After a busy night, Lin Mengya suddenly felt sleepy.

A sudden cracking sound from the outside woke the sleepy ones up. If not for the horse driver held the rope tightly, the horse would have been scared into running wildly.

“What's happening? Are we stepping on something.” Qinghu opened the door of the carriage at once. Just as he was about to enquire the horse driver, he saw the scared driver was looking forward in shock.

“What's—”

Qinghu raised his head and his face changed. Behind him, Baizhi tried to get out to check the situation curiously but was stopped by Qinghu.

“Protect Her Highness. Do not let anyone approach the carriage.”

His tone sounded serious. He jumped out of the carriage swiftly. The cold night wind blew up his cloak, swaying whatever in front of him.

“Qinghu, what happened? Did we knock someone?”

Though Qinghu told her not to get out, she felt the thing weird, so, disregarding Baizhi trying to stop her, she still got out of the carriage.

“Oh my—” The cry alarmed Qinghu. He turned around and saw Lin Mengya, whose face was pale.

He went up to her and covered her eyes, turning her around.

“Don't be scared. I'm here with you.”
