Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 267 - Photographic Memory



Chapter 267 Photographic Memory

Jiang Ruqin continued wailing like a baby, but no one would show her mercy now.

Two strong women grabbed on tightly to Jiang Ruqin and dragged her out of the Art Courtyard.

However, Lin Mengya did not turn around to look in the direction in which the shrieking cries were getting further and further. Although her defense sounded logical, Concubine De might not be fully taken in by it. Moreover, she did not intend to keep this a secret her entire life.

“Regardless of the circumstance, such a thing had happened to Ruqin when she was in our mansion. What do you suggest we do?”

As rare as it could be, Concubine De and Lin Mengya were actually aligned in their stand on this matter.

Lin Mengya pondered for a moment. It appeared that Concubine De was at her wit’s end, or perhaps was she testing Lin Mengya?

At this juncture, Lin Mengya reminded herself to respond cautiously.

“It would be disastrous if this leaks out. Be it Jiang Ruqin or us, it’s beyond our ability to salvage the situation. It would be best if the Cui Family lets this go. If not, it will become very troublesome.”

Concubine De gave her a cold look and said, “That I know, but the Cuis had dirt on us this time. If we don’t punish Ruqin, the Cuis would not let us off so easily.”

Lin Mengya knew her comments were superfluous words, yet she looked down and pretended to wrack her brain for ideas. After a while, she looked towards Concubine De with hesitation, as if she already had some ideas.

“Out with it. I know you have some ideas. I’d like to hear it.”

Lin Mengya sighed softly and said, “Actually, the reason the Cuis refused to let this go was that they had caught Jiang Ruqin committing adultery and it brought shame to the family. However, I could tell from the Ruqin’s looks that she wasn’t lying. How about let Ruqin go through a physical examination to prove her virginity. If she’s proven to be a virgin still, then the rumors would collapse. The problem is things get tricky and difficult to conclude with so many people involved and talking.”

Concubine De could not say that Lin Mengya’s idea was good. In modern terms, it would be like certifying that Jiang Ruqin as a virgin. Although, they might be able to stop many rumors on the surface.

However, the effect could be the same as how Teacher Cang pronounced herself a virgin.

The most crucial thing was to let the people sent by the Cui Family be the ones carrying out the examination. In this way, Jiang Ruqin might become a laughing stock, but at the very least, it would not be so embarrassing.

Concubine De seemed to have arrived at the same idea as seen from the look of hesitation on her face.

This might be a cunning move, but it seemed that it was their only choice now. Whether Jiang Ruqin lived or died, it was no longer that important. The more important thing was Jiang’s family honor. If they allowed nature to take its course, the Jiang Family would essentially become a laughing stock among all the reputable and large families.

“I will weigh the matter first before I act. It’s getting late, you should go back now. By the way, I’m going to make a trip to the Cuis Mansion, so you shall put everything in order in the mansion.”

After giving a respectful nod at Concubine De, Lin Mengya walked out of the Art Courtyard, followed by her maidservants.

Lin Mengya laughed in her heart. She had managed to verify and clear the many doubts in her heart.

She looked toward the horizon where the clouds were stained a fiery orange and thought that somethings were clear as day even without her verifying them.

This was getting exciting. Lin Mengya was just going to sit back and watch what would happen.

The new year’s eve, which was equivalent to the spring festival in modern times, was one of the most celebrated festivals among the people of this nation. If the Winter Solstice was the festival for praying for favorable weather, the new year’s eve was an occasion for a great reunion when families enjoyed the fruits of a year’s labor.

As the people in the prince’s mansion busied themselves preparing for these festivals, everything seemed to fall into place as time went by.

At the same time, Lin Mengya had managed to train a number of capable workers who shared her workload, so much so she was no longer the only one going around handling everything on her own. While she freed up some time, she utilized it to learn more about poison from her teacher.

Somethings were not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Take for example the poison from the poisonous scorpion, which was familiar to everyone. If it were used properly, it was more effective than other medications in clearing the body’s internal heat and curing hematoma.

The so-called poisons were often added into prescriptions prescribed by physicians. If not used properly, even medicines like ginseng and lingzhi could become poisonous to the human body.

Medication itself could not be categorized as either evil or good. It really depended on the person administering it.

Lin Mengya had a profound understanding with regards to this fact.

As Lin Mengya progressively get to know Baili Rui better, she realized that he was simply an old man who was crazy about poison and medicine who did not like to be restricted by the boundaries set by man. Perhaps this was how he got the name the Saint of Poison.

From Lin Mengya’s perspective, he was more like a wanton and unrestrained crazy physician.

The fact that he was settled for living in this place was likely because he could not stand being restricted by the rules and code of ethics.

“What are you staring at? Your teacher, I am talking to you. Do you remember everything I said?”

With a light clap, the jade tablets in Baili Rui’s hands landed lightly on his student’s head. Lin Mengya immediately put her hands on her head and stuck out her tongue as Baili Rui shook his head.

Just when Baili Rui was thinking about repeating what he said, he heard Lin Mengya recited what he said without leaving out a word or stopping half-way.

“Hey, didn’t your mind go wandering off? How did you manage to remember everything I’ve said?”

Baili Rui was greatly amazed, although it was not impossible for someone to remember everything one saw, even if it were only once. However, lately, he realized that no matter how difficult to articulate the things he said, Lin Mengya was always able to recite it perfectly afterward.

“That’s because I was paying attention when I was listening to you.”

Lin Mengya did not find it abnormal at all. All she felt was that everything that the teacher said sounded loud and clear to her ears. She only needed to hear it once and she was able to memorize everything. It was easy peasy for her.

“Alright, let me ask you. Which herbs do you use to neutralize the poison from the red-headed snake?”

The required concoction was not complicated. However, red-headed snakes were only found in Lie Yun. All the components of the antidotes were found in Lie Yun for this reason. When he first learned about this, he found it difficult to articulate.

It took him by surprise that Lin Mengya was able to recite it perfectly.

Strangely, he had merely casually mentioned this concoction to her earlier.

“Let me ask you another question. How about the antidote for Tianlu Grass?”

The answer to the question posed by Baili Rui this time would consist over a hundred different names of antidotes. Even he could not remember all of them.

However, Lin Mengya began listing them straight away without even thinking.

What was even more astounding was that not only did she get every name correct, she had recited them in the exact order her teacher had spoken to her. Some of the names were even in the dialect native to that place. Lin Mengya had managed to get everything right.

Good heavens! Baili Rui’s face lit up in pure delight. Never had he expected that this disciple which he took in unintentionally actually possessed such exceptional memory power!

Baili Rui had therefore made up his mind to tell Lin Mengya everything he learned in his entire life. In this way, he would be able to pass on his knowledge to Lin Mengya even if she eventually did not achieve her fullest potential or surpass him.

Such a great talent was a dream disciple of any learned physician.

Lin Mengya was perplexed too. Indeed, her teacher back in modern times had once praised her for her fantastic memory. By chance, she had heard Baizhi said that the Lin Mengya in the past, then considered an idiot, possessed a photographic memory.

Could it be that in the presence of the radar which transcended the brain had triggered the second development of the brain’s function?

At this thought, Lin Mengya made a bold guess that because her soul and spirit had transcended time, but not her body, therefore, the correct way of triggering the radar was some kind of mapping process.

This was to say that if she wanted to achieve success in triggering the radar, the transplanted person would need to map his or her soul and spirit onto the other person.

Her original body would be permanently preserved for the purpose of research.

Good heavens! This coincidence was too bizarre for anyone to believe!

If her brain was completely developed by the radar, what would become of her?

Lin Mengya had no idea. The brain was, after all, a very mysterious organ. It was not possible to understand how the thinking process worked even with modern technology.

She could only say that she had been extremely lucky!

“Lass! Lass! Why have you gone blank again?”

Lin Mengya recovered from dazing and realized that her teacher was staring at her angrily. She immediately tried to smile sweetly at him. She had never lost her focus during a class in the past.

How was it that she had begun to do two things at the same time, just like the others?

“Please continue, Teacher, please continue.”

Sigh, it was indeed because she had too many things on her mind that she needed to worry about.

After she eventually came out of the teacher’s room, Lin Mengya took a detour to check out Baili Wuchen.

It was nearing the end of the year. Although the prisoners in the dungeon were considered Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s enemies, Lin Mengya was an advocate of modern humanitarianism.

She had distributed cotton-padded coats to keep them warm as well as sufficient food supply.

Although this small gesture of grace was not enough to turn them from their targets, at least it would be very useful to keep them.

Through the iron gates, Lin Mengya was able to glimpse into the dungeon through the ventilation windows.

Baili Wuchen’s head remained bowed and his black hair, like overgrown weeds, covered his face. His dirty clothes looked fitting for the eerie and gloomy dungeon setting.

All of a sudden, Lin Mengya recalled the graceful young man carrying a folding fan when they first met. She could not help but feel pity for him. What had caused him to come to this state?

“Open up, I want to go in to see him.”

The guards were hesitant at Lin Mengya’s order. They had Long TianhaoLong Tianyu’s order not to allow anyone to enter. However, Lin Mengya, who was the mistress of the mansion was to a certain extent the representative of Long TianhaoLong Tianyu.

The two guards exchanged looks, and then opened the iron gates.

“Your Highness, this prisoner is a dangerous man. Don’t go too near, otherwise you may get injured and we’ll be in trouble.”

Despite their concerns, the guards let her in, but not before warning Lin Mengya of the danger.
