Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 120 The Death of Hu Lunan

Long Tianhao and Lin Zhongyu stood in front of the tent entrance and watched as the girls went in and out of the tent.

After they busied themselves for a period of time, suddenly, there was a loud cry which came from within the tent.

"Ah!... How did this happen?"

"My sister, my pitiful sister!"

Fortunately, they did not hear the voice of Lin Mengya. The two men at the entrance of the tent gave each other a look as they tried to suppress their anxiety.

After the noise died down, Lin Mengya emerged from the tent, her face ashen.

"What happened, Elder Sister, why you look so...?"

Lin Zhongyu was the first to approach Lin Mengya to tug on her sleeve and asked with caution.

"I'm alright, I just didn't expect that brute to do such a cruel thing to Elder Sister Yue Ting."

As a medical student in modern times, Lin Mengya was rather numbed to the sight of dead bodies of all shapes and sizes.

However, what she saw of Elder Sister Yue Ting's lower body shocked her.

Those b*stards not only s.e.xually a.s.saulted her, they even...

How did the pitiful Elder Sister Yue Ting endure all the sufferings? If not because of the fever caused by the septic wounds, would she continue keeping quiet about it?

Lin Mengya was overwhelmed with anger that she began trembling. If Baiji had not tried to restrain her, she might have gone out to look for those perpetrators to take revenge on them.

"Elder Sister, please do you bring harm upon yourself by being furious. I will get someone to kill those perpetrators."

Lin Zhongyu looked at his Elder Sister with pain in his eyes, as he reached out for Lin Mengya's hands which had been balled up into fists and pried them open.

Lin Zhongyu was troubled to see that Lin Mengya's palms had been pierced by her own nails to produced blood red lines.

"They are all dead."

Long Tianhao stood before Lin Mengya and there was a chilly look in his eyes.

He had killed those b*stards earlier on. In retrospect, he had been too kind to them.

There was fiery furry in Lin Mengya's eyes, while her body had already acc.u.mulated such great hatred that it could destroy the entire heavens and the earth.

"That's right, they were all dead now, but the real culprit is still alive and kicking."

Lin Mengya's voice was so cold that it could freeze people to death. Her furious eyes were directed at the Crown Prince's tent not far away.

Fortunately, the surrounding tents had been relocated.

The remaining tents around them belonged to Long Tianhao's confidantes. It was almost impossible for others to hear those words spoken by Lin Mengya.

"Don't act impulsively because we will be able to revenge for Yue Ting soon."

Long Tianhao tried to stand in Lin Mengya's way, fearing that she would act rashly, so as to bring about serious consequences which they could not salvage.

"Rest a.s.sured; I understand."

As she said this to Long Tianhao, she began gradually suppressing the anger and hatred and carefully concealing it in her heart.

Impulsiveness would only ruin their plan. Moreover, if she wanted to take full revenge which encompa.s.sed all the past and present grievances, she needed to have a carefully thought out plan.

All of a sudden, a commotion could be heard coming from not too far away.

The eyes of all three of them were temporarily drawn in the direction where the noise came from. In a little while, the messenger of the imperial guards could be seen running towards them.

"Prince Yu and Princess Yu, the Second Prince of the western va.s.sal state had been found murdered in his tent!"

"What?!"

Long Tianhao and Lin Mengya glanced at each other as their mind went into a frenzy. Were they not just talking killing him and he was dead?

"Alright, I get it. You may go now."

After Long Tianhao sent the imperial guard messenger away, he led Lin Mengya and Lin Zhongyu into Long Qinghan's tent.

They did not expect to find the lad to be hugging a beauty, having fun. When he saw the three of them entered his tent, his face turned ashen.

"Third Elder Brother and Third Sister-in-law, together with that kid, please, this tent belongs to me!"

The untidily dressed beauty tried to nestle in Long Qinghan's arms in panic. Although Long Qinghan was complaining about them invading his privacy, he still sent the beauty out after giving her a pat on her shoulder.

"Humph! What a lecherous and shameless man."

Lin Zhongyu had never liked playboys like him and so he was blunt with his comment.

Long Qinghan's face fell at the thought that even a young lad by Third Sister-in-law's side despised him.

"I'm not going to hold it against the lad on the account of my Sister-in-law. What happened again now?"

Long Qinghan spread the palms of his hands as he asked and he was totally not perturbed about how he was caught in an embarra.s.sing act.

Long Tianhao seemed to be used to his brother's unrestrained behavior. He frowned slightly and took his time to say,

"Hu Lunan is dead. He just died."

"What? That's not possible! I secretly questioned the imperial physician this morning and he told me that his life is preserved. How could he have died?"

Long Qinghan jumped out of bed and stopped behaving like an unrestrained youngster.

"No matter what had happened, he's gone now. I'm afraid King Ming would not let this matter rest."

Lin Mengya's brows knitted as she tried to calmly a.n.a.lyze the situation.

At this moment, what she needed to know was the situation at the time this happened. It would be easier to explain if Hu Lunan had died of his injury.

However, if he had been murdered in his tent, as in this case, it was hard to say if people would look in her direction once again.

"Your Highness, the Prince, we can't keep the two Peach Blossom Dock killers alive now."

After Lin Mengya pondered for a moment, she made a decisive conclusion.

She had initially planned to wait out so she could use the bait the catch a bigger fish, but now she was left with no other choice but to abandon this plan and made do with whatever the situation gave her.

"Alright, I'll give the illusion that the killers were killed while trying to escape. Please be careful yourself."

Long Tianhao proceeded to set up the misleading scene they decided upon in hope that they would be able to fool the people.

Lin Mengya's frown deepened. Who would have sent men to kill Hu Lunan?

The campground which was in chaos the entire day was now overshadowed with fear because of the death of Hu Lunan.

Although there was a rumor going around that Princess Yu behind this for revenge, the murderer was yet to be found and confirmed.

That was merely a guess. If this was done by an outsider, the heads of these people spreading the rumor were as good as being put on the blade of a sword.

Lin Mengya slipped out quietly, wearing a black cape.

The large cape completely covered her entire body. As she moved in the dark of the night, no one would be able to recognize her if one did not look carefully.

"Follow me."

Suddenly, someone in the dark reached out and grabbed Lin Mengya's hand.

In submission, Lin Mengya allowed this person to lead her deeper into the darkness of the night and soon, no one could see where they were headed.

Hu Lunan's body was placed halfway up the mountain.

It was common practice in the western va.s.sal state to cremate their dead.

Therefore, the Crown Prince had given instructions for a s.p.a.ce to be cleared halfway up the mountain to conduct the last rites for Hu Lunan's body.

King Ming and Hu Tianbei, together with Princess Ming Yue had moved to that place halfway up the mountain.

Soon, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao arrived at the peripheral of the campground where King Ming was.

"You've arrived."

All of a sudden, a tall, lanky figure appeared before the two of them.

With the light from the moon, Lin Mengya recognized the man to be Hu Tianbei.

"I was the one who asked Bei to help, so don't be alarmed."

Long Tianhao patted Lin Mengya on her shoulders to rea.s.sure her, so her tensed-up body relaxed tremendously.

"Hmm, I've spoken to my father and he's going to give you a chance to meet up with him."

Although his Second Younger Brother had pa.s.sed away, Hu Tianbei did not seem especially saddened.

He was still his usual cheerful self. There was completely no hint of grief.

"Alright, thank you so much!"

Lin Mengya nodded as the two followed Hu Tianbei all the way to the tent at the middle, which belonged to King Ming.

"My father said he will only see one of you. Who's going in?"

Long Tianhao certainly did not want Lin Mengya to take the risk, in case King Ming lost his temper and wanted to lay his hand on Lin Mengya. What would she do then?

"I'll go."

To their surprise, Lin Mengya had taken the first step forward.

"Princess Yu was indeed a lady of courage. This way please."

Hu Tianbei did not expect such a pet.i.te young lady could be so fearless.

A look of admiration flashed in his eyes as he stretched out his hand and directed Lin Mengya in.

As Long Tianhao looked at Lin Mengya's pet.i.te figure, clad in a black cape, walked into King Ming's tent, his eyes were filled with concern.

"Don't worry, I can see that your wife is no ordinary woman. Come, let's go into my tent to drink some wine to keep warm."

Hu Tianbei smiled as he led Long Tianhao away, when at the same time, Lin Mengya entered King Ming's tent.

Just when Lin Mengya lifted the curtain to King Ming's tent, she could smell the pungent smell of alcohol.

Never would she expect that King Ming was still in the mood of drinking when his son had just pa.s.sed away.

Lin Mengya was at this moment more certain of her deduction.

Inside King Ming's tent, there was no homely decoration whatsoever. All that was there was decorations depicting masculinity.

There was a wide bench covered with a tiger skin.

King Ming was adorned in a silky black robe while seated on that bench and taking big gulps of spirits.

"Erm? Why is it you who have come? Where is your husband?"

King Ming was surprised that Lin Mengya had come to see him instead of Long Tianhao.

King Ming widened his eyes as he looked at Lin Mengya, while a look of bewilderment flashed across his face.

"I can't believe that the Dajin men are such cowards. Bei's praises for the Dajin men were unjustified."

Lin Mengya smiled gently and took off her black cape.

She sat down at the guest table and took up the jar of wine as she downed one gulp.

"Good wine!"

She wiped her mouth roughly as the effect of the alcohol caused her delicate cheeks to blush.

King Ming did not expect this delicate young lady to be a woman such courage.

However, as his thought turned to her family background, he immediately lifted a jar of wine and burst out laughing.

"You've proved yourself to be the daughter of Big Brother Muzhi. Like father like daughter. You are as excellent as your brother!"

Lin Mengya gave out a straightforward laugh and put the jar of wine on the table, as she said,

"My father had said that if he was considered as a hero of this world, you would be the formidable hero of this world!"
