Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 803 Escape Separately

Lin Mengya turned around and looked thoughtfully back at the crowd behind her.

It was strange. She had an intuition that someone was watching her.

It was very strange to be watched. Despite her sharp sixth sense, she found no one when she turned around to have a look.

Could it be that she was a little too sensitive?

“What’s wrong?” Xiaoyu, who returned after going to the pastry shop cheerfully to buy the signature rosa multiflora meat pies, asked.

The doughs of the rosa multiflora meat pies were mixed with honey water and tasted sweet.

The fillings were delicate rosa multiflora petals and minced pork.

He had eaten them several times and thought they, which tasted sweet, smooth and not too greasy, would be to his sister’s taste.

“Nothing. I may have been a little too sensitive. Xiaoyu, why don’t we go and buy some masks?” Lin Mengya said.

She turned to look smilingly at the appetizing meat pies in Xiaoyu’s hands.

She and Xiaoyu were really eye-catching. Those guards secretly prevented a multitude of young men and young ladies from coming up to hit on the two of them.

Now, she just wanted to eat quietly without being disturbed.

“Okay, I’m going right away. Wait for me here!” Xiaoyu said.

Getting a rare chance to delight his sister, Xiaoyu immediately rushed to a nearby mask stall, carefully selected a male mask and a female mask, and then returned to Lin Mengya.

“Who is this? It looks a little ugly.” Biting a soft and warm meat pie, Lin Mengya glanced at the mask in Xiaoyu’s hand and asked.

It seemed that plenty of people wore these two masks today.

She took a white mask handed by Xiaoyu.

It seemed to be a woman’s face that looked a little weird with thin eyebrows and narrow eyes.

Huh?!

Lin Mengya lowered her head and took a close at the floral ornament on the forehead of the mask.

As she looked at the floral ornament, she found it increasingly familiar. It looked like her plum blossom mark that had disappeared for some unknown reason.

“These are the masks of the Witch Empress and the King of Various Venomous Insects. All others wear them. If you don’t like it, there are the masks of the Flower Deity sold over there. I’ll buy you one,” Xiaoyu said.

He was about to go, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.

She asked, “Do you mean that the mask was made based on the Witch Empress’s appearance? What about this plum blossom? Does the statue of the Witch Empress also have it?”

Glancing at the mask in her hand, Xiaoyu nodded in confusion, finding her a little strange today.

Didn’t they just come back from the Witch Empress Shrine? Why did she ask about this?

After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya decided to go back to the Witch Empress Shrine to check it out.

Since her visit to the Nation of Lintian, she had been aware that the plum blossom mark on her body was very unusual.

Both the key to the secret chamber and the mechanism on the old turtle’s back that locked up the music score for the green stringed instrument had all kinds of connections with the plum blossom mark.

Moreover, Xin Yu and Wanyan Jing instructed her to take off her clothes that day in order to seek the plum blossom mark.

Now that she saw the mark again on the Witch Empress’s forehead, she involuntarily thought there must be something wrong with it.

“Let’s go to the shrine to have a look! Xiaoyu, tell them to keep a distance from us,” she said.

After quickly finishing the rosa multiflora pie in her hand, Lin Mengya wiped her hands and put on the Witch Empress’s mask.

They didn’t wear masks just now. Because they went there for the first time with plenty of people around, they were unlikely to be recognized.

However, the crowd had gradually dispersed, and they went there for the second time. If they were recognized, it would create side issues.

Besides, those guards seemed to be out of place in the crowd. If they followed the two of them closely, they might get in their way.

“Why? Wait for me!” Xiaoyu said.

Seeing his sister head for the Witch Empress Shrine rapidly, he put on a mask and followed her immediately.

After signaling to the guards, he immediately caught up with Lin Mengya regardless of their reaction.

As expected, there were much fewer people coming to the Witch Empress Shrine for worship.

At the entrance, Lin Mengya cast a casual glance at the Divine Witch Shrine and found that there seemed to be more guards.

Meanwhile, the crowd were orderly and no longer dashed around madly as before.

After getting in, Lin Mengya walked towards the main hall of the Witch Empress Shrine without a stop.

There were still lots of people in the main hall, but they came in easily.

The Witch Empress’s birthday celebration was held today, so there were lamps and candles offered by the believers closely placed in the Witch Empress Shrine.

At this moment, the empty and dim shrine was as bright as in the daytime.

Lin Mengya lifted her head and looked at the face of the statue of the Witch Empress.

It had the same thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, as well as the same facial features that were a little exaggerated but beautiful.

Besides, it had the same red plum blossom mark that was elegant and delicate with the petal on the left a little longer than any other petal!

Then she looked at the mask she had just taken off and held in her hand, only to find the petals were of the same length.

People in the Lieyun Empire mostly adored rosa multiflora, and few of them liked plum blossom.

Therefore, the plum blossom mark on the Witch Empress’s forehead was not painted for the sake of aesthetic.

It must mean something else!

“Let’s go! Some people seem to be coming!” Xiaoyu said.

While Lin Mengya was lost in thought, he grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the shrine with strength.

“Who’s coming?” Lin Mengya, who immediately returned to herself, looked at Xiaoyu, who looked serious, and asked subconsciously, only to see that he had his lips pressed tightly together and kept looking around, seeming to be looking for someone.

“The people sent by the Yao Family. Dammit, we seem to have been targeted!” Xiaoyu said in a low voice, looking around cautiously with a frown.

“Leave without me now. I have a way of getting away from them. Their target is you,” Lin Mengya, who immediately realized what was going on, said.

That explained why the Yao Family had been composed recently. It turned out that their target was Xiaoyu!

“No, you are incapable of martial arts. You should go first, and I’ll draw them away,” Xiaoyu said.

He was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Mengya.

She said, “Think about it. You are the prince, while I am just a palace maid. What’s the point in seizing me? Run away later and turn to the guards. I have a way to throw off them. See you at the gate of the imperial palace!”

After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya secretly pushed Xiaoyu hard and stretched her leg to trip a man quickly.

“Who? Who did this?” The man got up from the ground in rage, widened his eyes and shouted.

“I saw that! It’s him!” There came a shrill voice from the crowd.

It did not refer to a certain person.

But the man seemed to know whom it referred to, and punched a burly man in the crowd.

It immediately created a buzz among the crowd.

Lin Mengya joined the crowd in watching the fun, while glancing at Xiaoyu, who had gone away.

It was she who tripped the man and said that.

Nevertheless, she merely shot a meaningful glance at a burly man who had followed them.

The man thought he was tripped by the burly man and created chaos in a fit of pique.

The crowded shrine became even more chaotic because of the fight between the two men, which completely separated Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu from those who intended to catch up with them.

Seeing that it was about time, Lin Mengya lifted the hem of her dress and rushed into a dark alley.

When the crowd dispersed again, a multitude of men, who were obviously proficient in martial arts despite their common clothes, stood at the intersection, exasperated.

They finally got this opportunity to seize them, but unexpectedly, their plan was spoiled by a passer-by. It was really annoying.

The men exchanged glances and chased in several directions tacitly.

But by this time, Lin Mengya and Xiaoyu had long gone.

Except for this street, the other places were dark. It would be quite difficult to seek them.

Lin Mengya ran at full speed in the dark alley, and her eyes had adapted to the darkness.

Moreover, her good eyesight enabled her to move smoothly in the alley where there were lots of obstacles.

As Lin Mengya ran, she paid attention to the situation behind her.

In the quiet alley, apart from her light footsteps, only her breathing she was barely able to suppress could be heard.

Lin Mengya didn’t know how long she had run, and she didn’t stop until she was sure that she was followed by no one for the time being.

She tried to calm her breathing and rapidly beating heart. In fact, both she and Xiaoyu had expected that they would probably be targeted during this visit.

Nevertheless, now Xiaoyu had an unusual identity, and they visited the outer capital city this time.

No one dared to take action against Xiaoyu easily, unless someone intended to usurp the throne.

It turned out that someone had the nerve to do so.

“You go this way, and the rest of you go that way. You must check around and seize them!” All of a sudden, there came a man’s voice from outside the alley.

Lin Mengya immediately held her breath and curled up behind a low wall.

These men were really difficult to deal with, but as long as she could distract some of them, Xiaoyu would be safer.

Hearing the footsteps gradually getting closer, Lin Mengya covered her mouth, trying not to make any sound.

In the dark alley, the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Lin Mengya could barely make out a vague figure that seemed to be hesitating.

However, the figure looked at his palm and then walked deeper into the alley.

Lin Mengya, who had her heart in her mouth, put her finger into her mouth. Her blood was the most poisonous thing in the world now. If she couldn’t escape, she would poison him to death with her blood.

Unexpectedly, when the black shadow was about to find her and she was about to bite her finger, there came a very crisp bell from the entrance of the alley.

“Suma, step back,” a girl said in a clear and tender voice.

Hearing this, the black shadow stopped moving in an instant.

Then the black shadow went back quickly. When Lin Mengya was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there came the girl’s voice again, “Sister Lin, don’t be afraid. It’s me, Xiu.”

Holding her breath, Lin Mengya recalled that the familiar bell and voice belonged to Dongfang Xiu she had mentioned to Xiaoyu not long ago.

She stood up and took a few steps out of the alley against the wall.

Sure enough, she had seen Xiu bring the same poisonous herbs for self-defense as the girl.

This stuff could not escape the detection of the Shen Nung system at all.

“You must be scared. I’m sorry, but you can come out now. The people around work for my family. No one will hurt you,” Xiu said.
