Chapter 323 - Driving Pearl Away



Chapter 323 Driving Pearl Away

“Well, you can leave now.”

Without looking at her, Lin Mengya walked out and took Baisu back to her main room.

As they just entered the room, she found a small jade bottle with a narrow neck near the head of her bed, as if by magic.

“Quickly eat it. And later, give the 10th prince and those servants one each. Hurry to ask Fanglan to come in.”

Lin Mengya poured out a fragrant little pill from the small bottle. Without any hesitation and doubt, Baisu immediately swallowed it.

With a look of solemnity in her eyes, Lin Mengya did not expect that the situation was so critical. The troubles came one after another.

By the time she recovered herself, Baisu had already pulled Fanglan into the room.

Lin Mengya hurriedly grabbed her hand, took her pulse, and then had her take a pill. After that, Fanglan also became a little worried.

“Princess, what you are...”

Before Fanglan finished her words, Lin Mengya first gave the instructions.

“Don’t touch anything that has ever been touched by Pearl. Replace those things that are public and fungible. As for those that cannot be replaced, boil them in boiling water for at least half an hour. Tomorrow, I’ll ask people of the Imperial Hospital to send some argyi wormwood leaves here. Remember, you must burn argyi wormwood leaves everywhere in the yard. None of you can stop unless I say so. It’s a matter of life and death, so you must be very careful. Besides, it is not suitable for the 10th prince to stay with me, and it’s better to send him back to Concubine Xian. These days, Concubine Xian should have made enough trouble, and the 10th prince should also be safe.”

Being bombarded with Lin Mengya’s instructions, Baisu and Fanglan almost felt that they could not keep all these things in their minds.

Fortunately, Lin Mengya’s arrangements were very reasonable. So the two maids immediately split up and began to act.

In the main room, Lin Mengya looked horribly sullen.

Just as soon as she met Pearl, the Shen Nung system started to sound the alarm automatically. But this time, it was not just about poison.

“Pearl, Agate, my master has said that she wants to concentrate on studying prescriptions these days and doesn’t need too many people to serve her. So you can go back and wait for other orders.”

Baisu was still the same as before. She followed Lin Mengya’s instructions and tried not to arouse the vigilance of Pearl and Agate.

She had thought that the two maids would be pleased.

But she did not expect that Pearl would change her face and then say with a little uneasiness, “Just let Agate go back. Her Highness is honorable, and I’m afraid that Miss Baisu will be too busy. Anyway, I’ve already gotten used to serving Her Highness. Won’t it be more convenient for me to stay here?”

Baisu had not expected that Pearl would not want to leave.

It was so weird. “Did not they always expect Master’s leaving so that they could find another good job? But today...”

However, her master’s orders were the most important. So although Pearl was unwilling, Baisu still insisted on dismissing them, saying that no one could disobey the princess’s orders.

Pearl lowered her head, but a vicious look of unwillingness flashed across her eyes.

She moved her eyes and seemed to have a good idea. Thereafter, her expression instantly changed to that of being reluctant.

She said, “Since it’s Her Highness’s order, we’ll naturally obey it. It’s just that we’ve been here for a while. Can we kowtow to the princess before we leave? It’s also the rules of the palace that cannot be easily abolished. Miss Baisu, please let us do that.”

Baisu hesitated for a moment and quickly exchanged a look with Lin Mengya, who had been looking at her the whole time in the room.

After seeing that her master had nodded, Baisu said with a little displeasure, “All right, since you’ve said so, then go. However, you have to be more careful and don’t upset my master.”

Although she said this, Baisu kept strict vigilance over Pearl.

If she dared to offend her master, Baisu would surely bring Pearl under control as soon as possible.

Since they had just come here to work temporarily, Pearl and Agate actually did not have much baggage.

All their bits and pieces were merely packaged into a small bundle.

After tacitly packing up, these two people went to the main room and kowtowed to Lin Mengya as a greeting.

“Cough, cough, cough—”

Before they entered the room, Lin Mengya, who seated in the head seat, heard a fit of rapid coughing.

She just glanced at Pearl’s flushed face and then continued to sit in the chair, drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

“Come in.”

Only after coming to an agreement with Lin Mengya did they dare to kneel down before her.

After kowtowing to her, Pearl suddenly raised her head and vigorously coughed as if she could not control herself.

It sounded as if she was going to cough her lungs out the next moment. Seeing her like this, Lin Mengya’s eyebrows moved together slightly.

“Since you’ve been so sick, just have a good rest. You don’t have to worry about me. Baisu and Fanglan will take care of me. Agate, go back and ask someone to find her an imperial physician. After all, she got the illness here. No matter how much money she needs, just say it. Well, since Pearl needs a rest, you can leave now.”

At this moment, Pearl was almost choking with her vigorous coughing.

Agate immediately kowtowed to her and thanked her. And then she held on to Pearl and gradually disappeared from her little yard.

When they completely disappeared from her house, Lin Mengya’s expression became extremely serious.

She pitilessly threw the good white jade china teacup in her hand to the ground.

“Bang!” The cup broke into pieces. Baisu looked at her master in surprise. It was clear to her that although her master lived an extravagant life, she would never waste things casually.

To be honest, although there were various priceless treasures in Liuxin Courtyard, none of them was bought by the master herself.

However, when she was about to pick the pieces up, Lin Mengya whispered to stop her.

“Don’t touch them, go and get me a brazier.”

Although Baisu was confused, she still followed her orders.

When Baisu brought a burning brazier, Lin Mengya wrapped her hand in a brocade handkerchief, carefully picked up the pieces on the ground, and threw them into the brazier.

“Later, go and burn all the tea sets and bedding in their room. Ventilate the room for three days before letting people in. Forget it, I’ll do it myself. You and Fanglan, wait outside for me.”

Lin Mengya got to work. She rolled up her sleeves and stormed into Pearl and Agate’s room like the wind. And Baisu, who was anxious to stop her, was severely stopped by her.

So she could only be aggrieved and stand in the yard, watching her master busy in Pearl and Agate’s room.

She became more and more confused. She really did not know what Master was doing.

Fanglan, who had just sent away the 10th prince and his nanny, also joined her.

After a brief exchange with Baisu, she found that the other knew nothing about the princess’s abnormal behavior, just like herself.

But then, Lin Mengya told them to burn everything in Pearl and Agate’s room.

In addition, the princess ordered for all parts of the yard to be smoked with wormwood.

Fanglan, who had been more aware of the situation in the palace than Baisu, suddenly thought of a possibility.

She widened her eyes and stared at Pearl and Agate bowing as if seeing a dreadful monster. The next moment, she dragged Lin Mengya out of the room, disregarding everything else.

“Princess! Please don’t! Please stop! You’re noble, leave it to us!”

Fortunately, the room was already empty.

Lin Mengya pushed Fanglan out, flexibly jumped onto the heating bed, and opened the window. After making sure that nothing was left out, she finally walked out of the room.

“I’m going to take a shower and change my clothes at once. You two, don’t come to serve me. By the way, the clothes I change out of should also be burned. You’d better not touch these things with your bare hands.”

As Lin Mengya spoke, she still kept a distance from these two girls.

They immediately nodded. They would do whatever Lin Mengya asked them to do.

After all the commotion, it was already midnight after Lin Mengya changed her clothes. Baisu and Fanglan had already finished the follow-up work.

Like Lin Mengya had done, they took a shower and changed their clothes and then met in Lin Mengya’s room.

At this moment, there were only three of them left in the initially bustling yard. Even though Baisu and Fanglan had so many questions to ask, they had no other choice but to wait patiently for Lin Mengya to explain.

The teacup had been replaced with a new one. And Lin Mengya drank an entire glass of it to slightly quench her thirst.

When she saw that these two girls were obviously confused but had to suppress themselves, Lin Mengya showed a cunning smile.

“Master, how could you still have feelings to laugh? What’s going on? Could you tell me... tell us now?”

Baisu squinted her eyes at Fanglan because she knew that although Master was a princess, she was a princess without any airs.

Therefore, although Fanglan felt that it was inappropriate to talk to the princess in this way, she still ventured to nod gently.

If it were really like what she had imagined, the situation would be too critical.

“Do you really want to know? Perhaps it’ll be for your own good to let you know. Fine, it’s a rare chance that there are no eyesores around today. So ask me whatever you want to know.”

Lin Mengya put the teacup on the table and looked as if she was going to answer reporters’ questions.

Baisu and Fanglan exchanged glances and were now unprecedentedly curious.

In the end, it was Baisu, who gradually had gotten a closer relationship with Lin Mengya, who asked her about all the doubts deep in her mind.

“Master, why did you drive Pearl and Agate away? And why did you burn or smash all their things?”
