Chapter 780 Exotic Eye Hypnosis
Although she was mentally prepared, Lin Mengya did not expect that this evil wind would blow on her so quickly.
In the morning, Madam took Ningqiu to visit the Empress, who had woken up.
Lin Mengya usually stayed in the Fengyu Court, so when a palace maid, whom she was not familiar with, came to tell her that Madame Jingrou was quarreling with the Empress in the Linqiu Pavilion again, she did not feel suspicious at all.
However, when she stepped out of the Fengyu Court and soon lost track of the little palace maid, she realized that this was a hunting trap.
As for her, she was merely prey waiting to be slaughtered.
Someone took her to a palace that was far away from the crowd, even though there was a strong smell of incense in the room.
However, she was still able to make out the scent of blood in the air.
She knelt respectfully on the ground, but she had already guessed where she was.
“So you’re Helan, the maid serving Madame Jingrou?”
“Yes… I am Helan.”
Lin Mengya shriveled up, trying to create an atmosphere of extreme fear and nervousness.
Actually, she had been through a lot.
Even in the face of danger, she had already cultivated a calm temperament.
But at this moment, she was just an ordinary palace maid.
If she didn’t show some fear, it would seem strange.
“That pot of black peony was also your gift to the Empress, right?”
The voice came from a distance, as if it did not belong to Eldest Prince.
Although Lin Mengya found it strange, she did not dare to raise her head and look around. Instead, she knelt down very humbly.
“I brought it back from outside the palace and gave it to the Empress. But the flowers were not cultivated by me.”
Since the Empress had recovered, she naturally had to find out who was the culprit.
Lin Mengya had known that she would be the suspect of the matter, but she was confident that no one would let the secret slip.
At present, they were merely suspicious. There was no evidence to speak of.
All of a sudden, her chin was tightly pinched by a big hand.
Then, she was lifted up by force and her eyes met a pair of blue eyes.
But to Lin Mengya’s surprise, there were two pupils in his dark blue eyes!
“Tell me, who gave you that flower?”
His voice was not loud, but it sounded tempting.
Especially when coupled with his unusual eyes, Lin Mengya was actually in a trance at that moment.
But in an instant, her mind became clear again.
The Shen Nung system had issued a warning sound in her brain. Lin Mengya then realized that the man had used hypnosis on her.
It seemed that there was something iffy with his dual-pupils.
Fortunately, with the Shen Nung system, no one in the world could hypnotize her.
After all, who had ever heard of hypnotizing computers?
However, she still pretended to be in a trance, dazed with unfocused eyes.
The dual-pupiled man was very satisfied with her reaction. He loosened his grip on her chin, then stood up from the ground and looked down at her.
“The flowers were bought from a farmer. He said that the flowers were the product of many generations of cultivation. Madame Jingrou instructed me to get the best type for the Empress. And the one I got was the best of the best.”
A series of words came out of Lin Mengya’s mouth as if she was talking while sleepwalking. There was no flaw in her disguise.
From beginning to end, she did not even look at the man. She just maintained a dazed look, as if she had really been hypnotized.
The dual-pupiled man must have been very confident in his own skills, so he did not interrogate her any further.
He just whispered in her ear.
“From now on, when you get back to Fengyu Court, if you hear anything about the Eldest Prince or the Empress, you will write it down on a piece of paper and send it here every three days.”
The voice sounded both distant and close, with a kind of magical power that made people want to obey.
Lin Mengya nodded slightly, knowing that this was the man’s real purpose.
However, after the dual-pupiled man instructed her, he was not in a hurry to let her leave. Instead, he turned around and entered the depths of the room.
Time was passing tick by tick.
Lin Mengya remained kneeling on the ground, but her knees were aching.
She couldn’t sense whether there was anyone around.
But when a person had been hypnotized, it would not be so easy to get out of it without the hypnotist’s command.
After waiting patiently for an hour, there was finally some movement around.
Lin Mengya knew that this was the main course. What happened just now was just a test.
If she really took advantage of the moment to sneak away, she was sure that she would not be able to live to see the Fengyu Court.
“Are you certain that she will really listen to you?”
There was not a hint of liveliness in the man’s deep voice.
Lin Mengya tensed up and immediately recognized the owner of the voice.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. She’s just a maid. She can’t crack my eye spell at least for now.”
As expected, it was someone sent by the Eldest Prince to hypnotize her.
Lin Mengya pretended to look the same as before, and did not react to their conversation at all.
Before she could finish her words, two more figures approached her from behind.
Then, the Eldest Prince’s cold gaze landed on her.
But what he said made Lin Mengya want to curse in her heart.
“Are your arts with the eyes really that amazing? I heard that Beauty Jin dug her own eyes out and cut her tongue out after being hypnotized by your arts. Is that true?”
Impossible! Hypnosis could indeed make people feel less pain, but if they dug their eyes and cut their tongues, even the most slow-witted person would wake up.
“No that’s not true. I just gave her a little something to make her obey. After all, I can’t get my hands stained with blood like that. However, Your Highness, if you’re interested, you can try it with this one.”
“Try my foot!”
Lin Mengya cursed the two men in her heart, but she still pretended to be dazed.
Wanyan Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at the girl with her head down.
He had seen this woman before, but he hadn’t been able to see what she looked like.
“Raise your head.”
Lin Mengya did as she was told, and her delicate face slowly appeared in the sight of the Eldest Prince.
For some reason, a trace of disgust flashed through the Eldest Prince’s calm eyes.
It was so fast that Lin Mengya thought she had misread it.
Could it be that this Eldest Prince had emotions that belonged to a human?
“Shame, what a Beautiful Lady. There are indeed many talents hidden in the palace. It’s a pity that such a beauty can only be a maid.”
Beside the Eldest Prince, a man wearing a turquoise colored, coquettish jacket was sizing her up with interest.
That person had to be the dual-pupiled man that tried to hypnotize her, right?
Both of them left her with a very bad feeling, especially considering the words they had spoken moments ago, which made her view them as freaks.
Little did she expect that the Eldest Prince turned his head away after glancing at her.
It was as if she was unbearable to look at.
“She’s just eye candy. If you like her, I’ll give her to you.”
“Just gonna give me away like that?” Thought Lin Mengya, she really wanted to roll her eyes.
She was not Wanyan Jing’s private property. How could he just give her away so casually? This had to be against the law.
“You’re generous, but this little beauty has another wonderful use. Didn’t you say that the Fengyu Court is an impenetrable wall, and all the eyes and ears you sent over there had all been sent back? This little beauty will become your spy in the future. I have a bell here. Keep it well. As long as she hears this bell, she will listen to you, and no one can notice any difference.”
The crisp ringing of the bell made Lin Mengya feel non-stop pain.
She only knew how she should react after being hypnotized. As for this damn bell, she had never seen anyone use it before.
She had to just maintain her composure in the face of all the changes, but her body was tense. As long as something was wrong, she would rush out of the door.
However, seeing Wanyan Jing put away the bell quietly, Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Fortunately, this bell did not have any perverted settings, otherwise, she would have exposed herself.
“Is it as good as advertised? I don’t like people who like making irresponsible exaggerations. If she is just faking, won’t our secret be exposed?”
It was human nature to be suspicious, so Lin Mengya was expecting it.
Unexpectedly, the dual-pupiled man suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and placed it in Wanyan Jing’s hand with a smile.
“You’ll know whether it’s working or not after you give it a test run. If she’s really faking it, you can just kill her. But you’d better hurry up. She’s one of Madame Jingrou’s people. If she stays here for too long, it’ll arouse suspicion.”
“Test run? How?”
Lin Mengya was a little nervous now, not because she was timid, but because the dagger… was chilling.
It was okay if they just poked a hole in her body. But if these two perverts did something to her body and removed her organs, she would be in real trouble.
This thing was nothing in her hands, but in the hands of others, it was a murderous weapon!
Lin Mengya suddenly began to regret not letting Baisu stick closer to her.
She wondered if Baisu would hear her if she suddenly screamed.
Holding the dagger, Wanyan Jing seemed to be seriously considering where to start.
“How about you just deafen her by stabbing it through one of her ears. That way, there won’t be any noticeable scars or wounds. She only needs one to hear the bell.”
The dual-pupiled man was still coming up with ideas, but he did not know that Lin Mengya had already cursed all his family and relatives in his heart.
What was terrifying was that Wanyan Jing seemed to really think through the feasibility of his suggestion.
Seeing that the dagger was getting closer and closer to her ear, Lin Mengya did not dare to react. The dagger then suddenly changed direction and went at her neck.
The sharp dagger had come into slight contact with her tender ears. Lin Mengya’s heart had suddenly jumped up to her throat.
