Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 538 – Turning Hostile and Merciless

Chapter 538 Turning Hostile and Merciless

“Princess, I naturally need to give you an explanation, but there are lots of questionable points about Du Zhong's death. I hope you can give me some time. I'm sure I can find it out.”

Nan Rui tried to be evasive because he did want to put this off.

Unfortunately, Lin Mengya had already seen through his idea, so her attitude became aggressive.

“An explanation? Good, now let me write a letter to the emperor, letting him ask about this case in person, lest that all of us should suffer from such an underdressed justice. Elder Nan, you won't stop me from doing this, will you? Or do you think that the emperor has no right to ask about such a thing?”

Lin Mengya spoke sharply, with every word used to break his will.

She rarely had such a haughty and sharp attitude in normal times, so Nan Rui didn't know how to reply at this moment.

“I came to the Pavilion of Herbs with the emperor's order, but we didn't expect to be forbidden to leave here by you people. Earlier, I didn't have a fit of anger just because Du Zhong died strangely. The prince and I just didn't want to attract others' suspicion, but you do think that we are prisoners, so you want to lose all your face!”

Lin Mengya didn't say the thing on the surface, but everyone knew that what she had related was someone's sneaking in and stealing that night.

This matter was conducted in the dark, and the other party had suffered a great loss.

But this was something that the two parties all knew, after all.

She had forborne for many days, but the other party thought that she didn't want to make it public. Unexpectedly, she disclosed it in the presence of everybody here today.

Instantly, the four elders but Chang Tianhua couldn't help feeling the burn of their old faces.

“Why do you talk like this, princess? Although these few of us hoped you could assist us, we treated you politely. I'm afraid you might have misunderstood something, right?”

Duanmu Yang came out to mediate the dispute, but Lin Mengya snorted coldly and spoke while pointing at the two disciples still sleeping at the door.

“Everyone here all witnessed how Du Zhong died at that time. As for whether we did it or not, you people don't have any convincing evidence, do you? If you have, take it out, and I will admit it. But what about now? You asked a few people to watch us day and night and don't allow us to take one step out of the courtyard. A state has its laws, and a family has its rules. I want to ask you a question, 'Which legal provision have we violated?' And what kind of yamen is your Pavilion of Herbs so that you dare to imprison a prince and princess? You are really bold! Not to mention that Chief Elder is not in the Pavilion, even if he is in it, he should call my elder brother His Highness respectfully, in law or in theory. What kind of people are you!”

Lin Mengya scolded these few people severely with these words.

But every word she had said was in accordance with reason and feudal morals. Previously, she was smart and polite, and now she made these few people lose proper words to say.

She looked insolent, but she was also a little solemn.

Duanmu Yang, who was always eloquent, didn't know how to respond properly when hearing her words.

“Princess, your arguments are a little lame, aren't they? Du Zhong died because of Prince Shen. All disciples of the Pavilion are witnesses. Do you want to use a few words to ignore a person's life, princess?”

Exasperated by Lin Mengya, Qian Yuming had almost reached the point of talking without careful diction. Presumably, no one in the Pavilion of Herbs had ever dared to talk to him like this over the past years.

But as soon as he said this, Lin Mengya's ice-cold eyes with a killing intent fell on him.

She raised her eyebrows, with coldness throughout her eyes and eyebrows.

“You said that Du Zhong died because of my cousin, right? Fine. Elder Qian, since you said so firmly, then give me the evidence! Today, if you can't take out the evidence to prove that Du Zhong's death has connections with Prince Shen, I'll immediately submit a written statement to his majesty to say that you vilify the royal family!”

Lin Mengya spoke righteously because she had found the flaw of Qian Yuming's words. Now, these few old jerks on the opposite side were made to pour out their endless grievances.

If Qian Yuming hadn't talked like this, it would be fine, but after he said this, these few people knew that if they couldn't take out the evidence, they might not be able to end this matter easily today.

“The crime of vilifying the royal family is not small.”

Long Tianyu, who had remained silent for a long time, now came to stand behind Lin Mengya, with shrewd cold light shining in his thin, long eyes.

“Although this is the Nation of Lintian, people of our Jin State are not useless beings for anyone to trample upon at will. If all of you can't give us a reasonable explanation, I will surely ask the lord of the Nation of Lintian about it in person, with the identity of the prince of the Jin State!”

They had long known that Lin Mengya was not easy to provoke, but they just knew the reason today. However, it was a little too late.

Not to mention other things, now either Long Tianyu or the girl of the Lieyun Kingdom with venomous insects and poisonous weeds all over was eying all of them with hostility.

It was obvious that they had more people, but the momentum of these few people had even overwhelmed theirs.

Now it seemed that it was they who were in an inferior position.

“This…this…princess, anyway, this is the Pavilion of Herbs. It is different from anywhere else. Please don't make things difficult for us, princess.”

Duanmu Yang hardened his attitude a bit.

After all, they, who had been in the Pavilion for so many years, were used to doing bad things. Now when they met the tough Lin Mengya, they didn't know how to react properly at the moment.

“Make things difficult? The Pavilion of Herbs is in the territory of the Nation of Lintian. Or do you think that the small Pavilion of Herbs can be superior to the royal members of the Nation of Lintian? Elders, what you want is not small!”

Lin Mengya's eyes were cold, but she was not the only one. Xiu, Long Tianyu, Zuo Qiuyu who had been silent, and Yu An who had been guarding against them were all like her.

Every one of them had somewhat anger on their faces, and they all had faintly generated the killing intent.

Those in the Pavilion of Herbs cheated and blackmailed others and had killed many people in the dark, but their momentum was no rival of that of these few people, after all.

They had found that Lin Mengya did want to kill them!

“Elder Nan, Elder Duanmu, and Elder Qian, since you've earnestly assured that Du Zhong was killed by Prince Shen, then show the evidence, please. Besides, I believe that you must have your reason since you've said so. Since we've come to this point, don't hide it anymore. Take it out, and we can get rid of this misunderstanding.”

At this moment, Chang Tianhua was the only one who was not afraid of Lin Mengya among these elders.

With a small smile, he looked at the four colleagues of his.

But these words were obviously used to drive wedges between the four people.

“Old Chang! Don't imagine that you can make irresponsible remarks when someone backs you up!”

Of course, Qian Yuming knew that Chang Tianhua's words were aimed at him.

The reason was that the eyes of Nan Rui and the Duanmu Family's guy had clearly shown that they were a little dissatisfied with him.

He gritted his teeth. This was the first time he had seethed with the most anger in his life.

“Huh, it doesn't matter whether someone backs me up or not. I am always honest. We've been working together for so long. Naturally, I know that some people have quite scheming hearts and habitually use others as their knives.”

Chang Tianhua drove another wedge with his words, but he enlightened Qian Yuming unconsciously.

He turned his vicious eyes to the other three.

As for the case of Du Zhong, Qian Yuming naturally knew that his disciple became a scapegoat because he had fallen into someone's trap.

Then the animosity between the four became deeper.

Chang Tianhua had a free and easy expression. Anyway, he was the weakest. Although the princess and her companions supported him, he would not have great achievements.

Therefore, the four people would surely have internal strife first.

Then he put a cold smile on his lips inadvertently. Even now, these people still didn't realize that their struggling against each other was just an act of encaging themselves, in fact.

“Elders, I respect you because you are my seniors, so I believed you a bit. But I didn't expect that you didn't do your best to investigate the case to get the truth. Instead, you tried to make difficult situations for us whatever we did. More terribly, you even put this crime on us forcefully! Today, if you can't give an answer that satisfies us, I won't end this with you so easily!”

Lin Mengya's resolute attitude instantly made the atmosphere be at loggerheads.

Those disciples of theirs were afraid of the momentum of Lin Mengya and her companions, but they stood on the side of more people. Although they dare not look Lin Mengya and her companions in the eye, they summoned up somewhat courage because they knew they had more people.

But none of them had the guts to look into the eyes of Lin Mengya when she looked at them one by one.

“Huh, just a motley crew.” Lin Mengya's contempt deepened. Then, she looked so cold that she made people shudder.

“You! You just made an unfounded accusation! Guards, take them!”

Qian Yuming had been exasperated for a long time. After being instigated by Chang Tianhua, the three left might all think that he still had a backup plan.

In for a penny, in for a pound, he ordered to take these few people directly. Anyway, no one dared to stop him now.

With evil boldness, Qian Yuming's subordinates, a few disciples from his clan, really dared to step forward to take Lin Mengya and her four companions.

Nan Rui and Duanmu Yang naturally held the same idea, so they didn't even stop them.

Instead, they just stood there, watching indifferently.

Lin Mengya sneered inwardly. “Look! Now they all can't suppress their wicked and wild ambition at all!”

Long Tianyu stood before Lin Mengya spontaneously, with his body braced. If anyone dared to harm Lin Mengya, he would immediately turn into the monster from hell, never allowing anyone to take half a step closer to her.

“Qian Yuming, you are really bold. Your Qian Family is finished today!”

More and more disciples from the Qian Family surrounded Lin Mengya and her companions.

Lin Mengya's eyes glistened with eerie coldness. Her words were never a joke.

“A princess or not a princess, that's not important. No one's words are useful in the Pavilion of Herbs! Wicked girl, you are really so aggressive. Take them!”
