Chapter 304: The Person Flying Into the Air

“How prestigious you are, Your Highness. Tell you? Everyone in the palace knows that you have a privileged background, too terrified to do something to you. But I have to remind you out of goodwill, Your Highness, that you’d better not believe you can do anything you want with the backing of the Lin Family and Prince Yu. God is watching you, and no crook will be ignored.”

Jieyu Hui was watching Lin Mengya, her eyes harboring a deep resentment as if she was desperate to skin Lin Mengya alive.

Chongrong Yun was blocking her way. Otherwise, Jieyu Hui would probably rush over to bite Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya showed her friendliness first but was met with an abusive scolding from Jieyu Hui. Lin Mengya felt angry, but she could not express her anger for the sake of Jieyu Hui’s position as the Lady of Handsome Fairness. However, Lin Mengya could not bear to let her be free after the insult.

“What did I do to irritate Jieyu Hui? Please tell me, Your Highness.”

Lin Mengya asked in a different tone from what she had adopted before. She was a junior in their presence, but she was also Princess Yu at the same time. Jieyu Hui shall think of the one behind her before insulting her. Therefore, if Jieyu Hui had no powerful background, then, she may be the rash type and innocent enough to offend Lin Mengya.

“Hmph! You did forget it so soon after you had done it, didn’t you? I…”

Jieyu Hui’s anger was soaring as she kept speaking. She looked like a devil begging for a life in hell while glaring at Lin Mengya. Chongrong Yun, standing beside her, saw her overstepping her boundaries, so she grabbed her sleeves and gave Lin Mengya an apologetic smile.

“My sister is always outspoken. Please don’t bear it in mind, Your Highness. Those words came out of sudden anger. She didn’t mean it. Please don’t blame her, Your Highness.”

Noticing that Lin Mengya was getting irritated, Beauty Cheng also grabbed Jieyu Hui’s arms.

Her round face was full of worries.

Jieyu Hui was stopped from doing anything but gave Lin Mengya a resentful look. Then she hummed and turned her head.

Chongrong Yun stood out to try to make peace, so Lin Mengya was obviously supposed to stop for her sake.

Lin Mengya managed to suppress her displeasure. Anyone would feel unhappy after being scolded violently for no reason.

“Since Your Highness said that, I, of course, should stop for your sake. After all, Jieyu is one of His Majesty’s vice wives, with the difference between honorable and humble. Don’t make trouble with others as you please. Otherwise, you may get yourself in trouble and suffer losses.”

Dajin had strict laws. Even in the palace, concubines had a low status. Take Concubine De as an example. Even after her son had grown up and had been given the title of a prince, Concubine De still had to adhere to the conventions. She had to greet the Empress every day whenever she was in the palace.

In an ordinary family, no matter how much love a concubine gained from her husband, she had to do some unskilled work for the real wife every day.

Therefore, Jieyu Hui’s behavior would be seen as a disrespect for Lin Mengya.

“Thanks for your generosity. I suppose Sister Hui will feel grateful. Well, we can’t keep bothering you. Please, Your Highness.”

Chongrong Yun stood there to mediate so that they could not really quarrel.

Lin Mengya did not want to stand over there and carry on with Jieyu Hui. Thus, after making a bow, Lin Mengya, with a cold look, got back to her way to the Court of Imperial Physicians.

However, Jieyu Hui did not stop looking at Lin Mengya, with increasing hatred against her.

“Sister Yun, why did you stop me?”

Chongrong Yun retraced her gaze from Lin Mengya, and after lightly letting out a sigh, she said, “Do you really believe you can succeed? Sister Hui, we’ve married His Majesty, so we’d better not help with our parents’ affairs. His Majesty is terribly ill, and we have no child. Thinking of our own future is the right thing. Today, if I had known that your purpose of coming here was to provoke Princess Yu, Sister Cheng, and I would not have come with you.”

Chongrong Yun’s comforting words failed to shake Jieyu Hui’s determination.

Jieyu Hui found that her sister, someone she had been living with for a long time now, did not stand by her side. Therefore, she hummed, threw away Beauty Cheng’s hands, and then left in a huff with her maids.

“Sister Yun, will Sister Hui do anything on impulse?”

Beauty Cheng asked full of concerns. Chongrong Yun just shook her head in return and helplessly sighed.

Everyone in the palace was feeling insecure. Jieyu Hui’s plan might create a disturbance, but who knew?

It would be the best if Princess Yu was not a mean person. Otherwise, Jieyu Hui would have a tough future.

The quarrel with Jieyu Hui dampened Lin Mengya’s mood.

But beside that, she was more interested in what she had done to make Jieyu Hui resent her like that.

“Agate, do you know about Jieyu Hui?”

Upon hearing Princess Yu’s question, Agate immediately answered respectfully, “Jieyu Hui got into the palace five years ago. At first, His Majesty showed her a lot of affection. In recent years, due to not giving birth, His Majesty had tossed her aside. I also heard that she was one of His Majesty’s distant relatives. That’s all.”

“His Majesty’s distant relative?” Lin Mengya had not expected that.

As a matter of fact, those great noble families often used marriage, with the royal family or among themselves, to develop themselves. Therefore, if one pondered over the relationship between them, they would be related one way or the other.

“Should I teach her a lesson, Master?”

Biasu, who had been silent just now, leaned over by Lin Mengya’s ear and proposed in a low voice.

Lin Mengya shook her head. She had little information about the palace. Besides, what Agate had told her might not be the truth.

“You shouldn’t. It’s just verbal taunts. We’ll have to endure more insults in the palace. Let’s move on to the Court of Imperial Physicians.”

The Court of Imperial Physicians was no different from the previous day. However, Su Tong and Jiang Kai were not present. Generally, those officials could rest in their own houses before the fifth day of the first month.

However, the people on duty in the Court of Imperial Physicians should take turns.

Today, the doctor on duty seemed serious in speech and manner. His hair and beard were all white, and he looked like meticulous and totally devoted.

Upon noticing Lin Mengya’s arrival, he frowned first. Then, after being reminded by his subordinate, he put down the medicine and greeted her.

“I’m the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Physicians, Cui Shi. Greetings, Your Highness.”

“Arise, Doctor Cui. I come here to learn. In the future, you don’t need to greet like that when I come. “I’ll be imposing on you for a few days. If everyone greets me every time I come here, won’t it be too tensed?”

Lin Mengya was humbly smiling, but in fact, she already had formed a preliminary judgment on Vice Minister Cui.

Cui Shi’s strict appearance showed that he was a traditional, stubborn man. Besides, the way he looked at her clearly betrayed contempt.

Probably, in the future, he would also stop her from treating the Emperor.

Everyone was trying to see what each other had. If they got hold of her temperament, then they would be thinking of how to force her to get out of the Court of Imperial Physicians.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Cui Shi did not hesitate and sprang up to his feet back to the table.

However, Lin Mengya stopped him.

“Could you do me a favor, Doctor Cui?”

There was impatience in his eyes. If Lin Mengya was not Princess Yu, he would have already driven her out.

“I want to have a look at His Majesty’s case. I’m new here and have no idea about His Majesty’s health condition. So could you do me this little favor?” she asked in a relatively friendly tone.

Cui Shi snorted.

After looking up and down at her, he refused with contempt.

“Your Highness, I’ve been serving in the palace for tens of years. I won’t call myself the best, but I still see myself to be better than a freshman. There’s no shortcut to being a master in medicine, and it takes dozens of years to be a medicine master, even for a talent. Your Highness, you’re a woman. It’s already far away from the convention not to be sewing at home but to get into the Court of Imperial Physicians. The case file of His Majesty is the most important thing, and it can’t be read by people with no duty. So help yourself, Your Highness.”

Lin Mengya was close to laughing. It was no wonder that the previous day Su Tong had directly postponed it for today.

Today, a seamless man was able to stop her with no mercy.

“God!”

A howl came, and in the next second, Cui Shi, who was arrogant just now, like an earthbag, was thrown into the air. Then he badly fell onto a medicine cabinet. .

Because of Cui Shi’s fall, those well-aired herbs fell too, covering him. Cui Shi closed his eyes and fainted after glancing at Baisu in panic.

“Sorry, my maid is a good girl. But she always loses her temper.”

Lin Mengya calmly gave an explanation to the people who were glaring at them. Then, she returned to the room Su Tong had prepared for her, with Baisu.

Lin Mengya would not endure anyone’s abuse. Before entering the Court of Imperial Physicians, she had already been filled with anger, but still had not wanted to vent her anger. Right now, Cui Shi had been intentionally making trouble for her. Well, then, she should not be blamed.

After this incident, every one of the Court of Imperial Physicians stayed at a respectful distance from Lin Mengya.

Cui Shi had already been sent back to his house and would not get out of bed for the next five days. However, Baisu had not really injured him.

“Master, they’ve postponed it several times now. Is anything wrong with the case history?”

The doctors of the Court of Imperial Physicians had obviously labeled Baisu as a devil who they could not tease.

A few bold people craned their necks to peer in the direction of Lin Mengya and then slipped away immediately after being glared by her, like when a mouse met a cat.

However, Baisu was still worried about her master’s situation.

No one dared make trouble with them, but they did put Lin Mengya aside and allowed her to do nothing. In Lin Mengya’s and Baisu’s eyes, both of them were just wasting time.
