Chapter 315 Hidden Facts

Seeing that no one was around, Pearl secretly took out a human like ragdoll from under her cotton-padded mattress. When she saw the ragdoll, she had a vicious light in her eyes.

Then she took out a sewing needle that was more than an inch-long from under the pillow and started jabbing at the doll’s head and chest, vehemently. As she pierced the various areas, she spat out a string of evil curses.

“Little b*tch, I will pierce you to death! You won’t die a natural death! I will pierce you to death! I will pierce you to death!”

In a small dim room, Pearl’s frenzied stabbing was made her seem a little insane, and the situation was a little creepy.

“Pearl, the little prince’s tiger head pillow—Pearl, what are you doing?”

Agate’s voice came from outside. Before Pearl could hide the ragdoll in her hands, it fell near the doorway.

“Give it to me! Give it to me!”

Pearl was stunned, but Agate would not let her take it back so easily. She turned around and saw the three Chinese characters clearly pasted on the ragdoll.

“You’ve actually made a voodoo doll, with the princess’s name on it. Pearl, are you looking for death”

Anyway, it was Agate who found, so Pearl was not worried.

She snatched the doll out of Agate’s hands, and hurriedly put it under the cotton-padded mattress.

“To die or not to die, is there any difference? Anyway, I don’t have to worry about anyone or anything. Death is also a good choice.”

Agate was shocked and held Pearl’s forearm with her hands.

“Pearl, don’t say that. Doing such things will bring death to your clan. You still have sisters and other family members, don’t you? In just a few years, we will be able to leave the palace and go home, so why are you doing such a stupid thing? Although what the princess did to you did cross the line a little, you also said that it was not bad for your health, right?”

A tinge of sadness suddenly appeared on Pearl’s face. Seeing this, Agate felt her heart softening and brought her to the bed.

“Gone, everything is gone. Agate, I can’t leave the palace. Even if I leave the palace, I do not have any place to go to. Agate, do you know that I have lost everything?”

A trickle of tears ran from Pearl’s eyes, and Agate did not even know what she should say to comfort her. Since they entered the palace, the two of them had been like good sisters, always helping each other.

Their time in the palace was more or less hard to endure. If they had not been there for each other, they would have given up by now.

“Pearl, if you have any problems, just tell me.”

Agate cried with Pearl. They were all from poor families, or they would not have been sent to the palace to work.

“I—Agate, if you are my good sister, please keep this a secret, OK?”

Pearl begged Agate tearfully, but Agate felt embarrassed, and after some consideration, whispered,

“But...but you must promise me that apart from making this doll, you must not do anything else to the princess anymore. You should know that the princess is different from us. If something happens, we will be beheaded. Remember that!”

Pearl bit her lips, Agate begged her again and again, and she finally nodded, reluctantly.

Agate was relieved when she found that Pearl had finally given up her terrifying ideas. She wiped her tears, put the doll back in place, and comforted her for a long time, and the two of them quietened down gradually.

Fortunately, their room was in an isolated corner, so they did not attract Lin Mengya’s attention, in the main room.

At this time, Lin Mengya was receiving a newcomer in her room.

“Your highness, I am your humble maid Fanglan, and I am paying my respects to you. May you live for a thousand years.”

Lin Mengya looked at the girl standing before her, from head to toe. She was about 18 to 19 years old, was not tall, had an oval face, an agreeable disposition, and behaved in a mature and sedate manner, which was rare for someone of her age.

Standing before her, the girl did not show any fear, but gave her a cordial smile.

“Please get up. How old are you? What did you do in the past?”

It was Senior Yu who sent her here. No doubt, she was very suitable and reliable, but Lin Mengya needed to ask question her, as part of the routine.

“Princess, I took care of the flowers and grass in the yard in the past, but I did not have the luck to serve the madam of the harem.”

Her speech was proper, and her voice was melodious and gentle. The more Lin Mengya looked at her, the more she was satisfied with her.

“Good, you will stay in the courtyard from now on, and keep me company. I am your master, but I don’t have too many requests. As long as you can do the tasks I give you, that is enough. This is my little gift for you for our first meeting. Take it. In the future, if you want to do anything, just let me know.”

Lin Mengya extended her repetitive gratitude to Senior Yu inwardly. These coming days, she was bound to be busy with the affairs in the Court of Imperial Physicians, and could not afford to let Baisu leave her, even for a moment.

Although a wet nurse took care of the tenth prince, who had recently been addicted to the Chinese Rings and did not want to leave his room easily, some servants had to be arranged to manage his courtyard.

“OK, thank you, princess.”

After giving some instructions, Lin Mengya asked Baisu to assign a few tasks to Fanglan.

It was easy for the older generation to tell a person what needed to be done, clearly. So, Baisu finished giving instructions to Fanglan in a short while, and their relationship seemed to be a harmonious one.

“Clear about all the instructions?”

Fanglan poured a cup of tea for her, which was fresh and fragrant. It seemed that if the palace maid Fanglan was only asked to tend flowers and grass, then her services had not been fully utilized.

Fanglan and Baisu lived in the main room together with Lin Mengya. The master and her servants were initially a little awkward with one another, but Fanglan knew her position and only spoke of the topics that interested Lin Mengya. Therefore, the atmosphere was friendly.

“By the way, you said you specialized in tending flowers and grass in the palace, so if I want to remove the weeds in the courtyard, what shall I do?”

In fact, Lin Mengya was asking this question, because there were no herbicides in ancient times. Apart from pulling the weeds out by hand, she could not think of other good ways.

Fanglan covered her mouth with her hand, gave a smile, and said lightly and slowly,

“My master is a gardener in the palace. Previously, when the Chongyun Empress, the wife of the late emperor, was still alive, she liked a kind of mountain chrysanthemum the best, which is, in fact, a kind of commonly seen wildflower. When such flowers were transplanted, they always have weeds with them, and these weeds were also very tenacious. We pulled them out yearly, but they always reappeared the following year. “Later, my master worked out a way. Weeds are different from the mountain chrysanthemums, so my master asked the imperial physician in the Court of Imperial Physicians and they created a concoction. When it was put into the soil, all the weeds disappeared, but the chrysanthemums were still alive and flourishing well.”

Fanglan’s words made Lin Mengya’s eyes glisten instantly.

The medicine she concocted was only to make the Duotian Root wither. If she wanted to make the herb die or prevent it from growing in the future, this was the only good solution.

They chatted for a few more moments, before they parted reluctantly to sleep.

Lin Mengya rose automatically at five in the morning.

Baisu rubbed her eyes and was surprised to find that her master was already up and dressed, standing in front of the dressing mirror.

“Master, are you—”

Since her master’s heart veins were damaged, she had been sleeping a lot like a little cat when it turned cold. Why was she so energetic today?

“In this working state, I must sleep early and get up early. Let us visit the Court of Imperial Physicians first. By the way, Lanfang, we will be having breakfast in the Court of Imperial Physicians this morning. You take care of the tenth prince, and I have made a list of the things he can’t eat. You have to help me keep an eye on him, OK?”

Lanfang nodded and was aware about all these things. Before she came over, Eunuch Yu had briefed her many times, and she knew what she had to do.

Baisu followed Lin Mengya, but could not stop looking at her master’s dressing style today.

To be honest, she was used to her master’s exquisite and beautiful looks. Even if she was dressed like a man, she would still look handsome.

She was dressed in a pale satin jacket, but she did not wear the silk skirt and only wore a pair of tight cotton-padded pants in the same color. This was like a man’s dressing, but the style was a lady’s.

But it was a little too strange.

Today, her master did not wear any ornaments but only simply coiled her hair up into a long bun at the back of her head. Without any face powder, she looked vigorous and energetic.

To be honest, this appearance of her master looked a little strange.

“Little maid, why are you staring at me?”

When she saw that her maid was eyeing her thoroughly, Lin Mengya knew that her dressing made the maid suspicious.

Lin Mengya looked up and down, and smiled at Baisu.

In fact, this was nothing, but she always thought that the dressing styles of ancient women were beautiful, but too impractical. Her dress had been made by a tailor, but it had been put at her teacher’s place, and she decided to wear it in winter. It seemed that her teacher missed her and had asked Long Tianyu to send it to the palace.

The prescription looked simple, but there were no accurate means to test it, in ancient times. Thus, even a tiny mistake would kill lives. Fortunately, now she had the Shennong System as her reference. Generally speaking, the system was almost like a game’s plugin.

Last night, before she went to sleep, she thought it was interesting, and then accidentally set herself up in a workaholic mode.

So, she was immediately woken up by the system this morning, but she was quite alert as if she had drunk three cups of coffee.

Unexpectedly, it functioned very well, and so her mood improved.

“Nothing, as long as you think the dressing is convenient. Actually, I also think that the Jin State’s clothes are cumbersome, not as good as our Lie Yun’s clothes. If you have a chance in the future, you might want to pay a visit to our Lie Yun. In our Lie Yun, the consorts in the palace can even ride horses and hunt at any time!”

This was the first time that Baisu had taken the initiative to speak of her motherland.

Seeing her joyful look, Lin Mengya began to miss another fair little face.
