Chapter 906 Saving Baili Rui

Lin Mengya pried open Baili Rui’s tightly clenched teeth and slowly poured the brown decoction into his mouth.

When she glanced out the door, she found Yunzhu had been standing there motionlessly since he had been sent into this room.

She should have known better before doing those things.

Lin Mengya had long lost her pity for Yunzhu. There were many people like her in the world.

They thought their misfortunes had been caused by others and had never introspected their own mistakes.

“When... when will he wake up?”

Her voice was light and gentle as if all her vitality had been sucked up.

Lin Mengya wiped the decoction from the corner of Baili Rui’s mouth with a handkerchief and then frowned.

His condition was even worse than she had thought.

Whether he could survive depended on his willpower.

“What do you want to say even if he wakes up right now? Do you want him to face a woman who betrayed him? Do you want him to face a person who helped others to destroy his whole clan?”

Lin Mengya was not a mean person, but her teacher had suffered too much for Yunzhu.

She didn’t care about whether Yunzhu had difficulties and was always petty whenever the people who were close to her were hurt.

“I... No... I didn’t mean to hurt him. It is Zixin that asked me to...”

Seeing Lin Mengya shoot a cold look at her, Yunzhu involuntarily took a step back and lowered her head. And her arrogance just now had disappeared.

“What is Cheng Zixin up to?”

Yunzhu raised her head and looked at Lin Mengya with tears in her eyes.

Seeing her so haggard, Lin Mengya gave up continuing to say harsh words to hurt her.

However, Qinghu had told her that although Cheng Zixin was not a member of the Candle Dragon Cult, he had colluded with them because of Yunzhu.

Moreover, Cheng Zixin seemed to have a lot to do with Yunzhu’s being poisoned back then.

After connecting those things in her mind, Lin Mengya thought he might know a lot of things.

“Cheng Zixin asked me to trick Baili Rui here and threaten him to make the poison. But Baili Rui would rather die than do that, so I locked him up in this room. The poppy was fertilized by human flesh. I wanted him to be addicted to it so that I can control him.”

Yunzhu avoided Lin Mengya’s eyes while speaking. Obviously, she did not know how to face Baili Rui now.

“You want to control my teacher and force him to make the poison? If I remember correctly, there are many poison-making masters in Candle Dragon Cult. Why do you need him to do it?”

Lin Mengya did not believe Candle Dragon Cult had caught her teacher only because of his poison-making skills.

If it were the leader who had given the order, her teacher’s identity as a former elder would be more valuable.

But judging from Yunzhu’s words, Lin Mengya believed his identity had not been exposed.

After Yunzhu had imprisoned her teacher here, she had unintentionally done Lin Mengya a favor in a sense.

“The poison doctors of Candle Dragon Cult have all been taken away by the leader. Cheng Zixin still wanted to make contributions, so he attempted to force Baili Rui to make the poison. He told me Candle Dragon Cult will make a big move soon.”

Cheng Zixin should be an unofficial member of Candle Dragon Cult.

He just wanted to exchange his resources for interests. After Yunzhu had been poisoned, he had abandoned her.

He could not squeeze out any benefits from her back then, so he had cut off communication with her in her most difficult years.

It was not until Lin Mengya invited Yunzhu to Sanjue Hall that he contacted her again.

And he had used a lot of blandishments to regain her trust.

That was how things had come to this point step by step.

“Are you working for Cheng Zixin or Candle Dragon Cult now?”

Yunzhu showed a complicated expression, and there was a hint of desperation in her smile.

“Cheng Zixin, but it will also benefit Candle Dragon Cult. In fact, I kidnapped you not only to threaten Baili Rui but also to exchange for something with Prince Yu.”

Ling Mengya had guessed it right, but she did not know what Yunzhu wanted.

“You want to exchange me for the thing in Feng Zidie’s hand, right? Since you have struck a direct deal with her, can you tell me what it is now?”

Yunzhu bit her lips and shook her head gently.

“I don’t know what exactly it is. I only know it is a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation in the Feng family. Although I talked to Feng Zidie, she didn’t agree but said she would give it to me after the wedding.”

A family heirloom...

Lin Mengya’s eyes flashed with calculation. If she guessed correctly, Long Tianyu must have agreed to marry Feng Zidie to get that family heirloom.

It seemed Miss Feng was less stupid than before. Lin Mengya had not expected her to use such a method to get rid of her.

However, it was a piece of cake for Lin Mengya to foil such little tricks.

“In your agreement, does she want me to die or just leave Long Tianyu?”

Feng Zidie must not know her real identity back then.

But Yunzhu was different. She had power in the capital city and was cunning. Moreover, she hated her to the core at that time. So, she had easily guessed many things right.

Therefore, Feng Zidie had not found out that she was the wild girl who had eloped with Long Tianyu until the very end.

If Feng Zidie were a little smarter, she would not have become a tool used by Long Tianyu and Yunzhu.

“Miss Feng just wanted you to leave, but Miss Tong by her side secretly gave me a lot of money and asked me to kill you.”

It was Miss Tong again!

Lin Mengya had had a strange feeling about Miss Tong since she had first met her.

Lin Mengya had had dealings with Feng Zidie before. In her impression, Feng Zidie was not so vicious or selfish although she was proud.

In Yun State, Feng Zidie had been rejected by Long Tianyu once.

Why had she swallowed her pride, taken the initiative to court Long Tianyu again, and let him humiliate her?

There must be someone secretly encouraging her.

And this person had not done this out of kindness or wanted to help Feng Zidie.

On the contrary, that person must have some other purpose.

“I want you to do me a favor, but this matter has nothing to do with my teacher. I have no right to make any decision on his behalf. In fact, I hope that you stay away from him and never appear in front of him in the future. And I also hope we can end the dispute between us.”

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and treated Yunzhu in a business-like manner.

She could put the dispute between Yunzhu and her teacher aside. However, she had regarded Yunzhu as her friend at first, but the latter had framed her up again and again.

So, she must dissociate herself from her sooner or later.

“I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I won’t pester you anymore. But I hope that I can meet my child before leaving. And I have to figure out whether what you said is true first.”

After Yunzhu managed to regain her composure, the coldness in her eyes made Lin Mengya’s hair stand on end.

Staring at this pitiful and hateful woman for a while, Lin Mengya nodded with a cold face.

Then, she turned around to take care of Baili Rui. But before Yunzhu left, Lin Mengya took out a small gallipot from her sleeve and threw it at her without looking back.

“This can make him tell the truth.”

Her faint voice was emotionless. Lin Mengya told herself she was not pitying Yunzhu.

She had done so because she didn’t want to waste time.

Lin Mengya had taken care of her teacher without rest for three days when his fever was gone after the poison had been detoxified.

Although there were still guards in the yard, they were not here to prevent her from leaving.

On the contrary, Yunzhu had asked them to stay here to help.

With their help, Baili Rui’s life was finally saved.

The small yard was much quieter and more spacious than the place where Baili Rui used to be imprisoned. Standing under a plum tree, Lin Mengya looked at the sky in a rare daze.

The yard should be in the depths of the mansion. Every day, except for the guards’ voices, she could barely hear any other voices from the outside world.

After calculating, Lin Mengya thought Feng Zidie must have become Princess Yu by now.

She knew Long Tianyu had married her for her heirloom.

But she still felt bitter in her heart.

So, she showed a self-deprecating smile. When persuading others, she was always eloquent and confident, but when this happened to her, she found things were different from what she had thought.

No matter how carefree a woman used to be, once she fell in love, she could barely remain aloof and detached.

“Ahem, ahem...”

Hearing Baili Rui coughing, Lin Mengya immediately turned around and hurried back to the room.

On the bed, her teacher had finally woken up after being unconscious for several days.

Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was stronger than she had thought.

“Guards! Please fetch me a bowl of ginseng soup. How are you feeling now, Mr. Baili?”

Baili Rui was very weak after waking up.

After Lin Mengya helped him sit up and fed him some ginseng soup, he said in an extremely hoarse voice, “Girl, is what you said to Yunzhu true?”

After hesitating for a while, Lin Mengya nodded her head.

She knew he could hear them talking at that time.

But she hadn’t expected him to ask about it as soon as waking up.

“Alas, it’s me that harmed her and her son. If I had sought confirmation back then, things wouldn’t have become...”

The look in Baili Rui’s eyes was a little gloomy. Yunzhu had been deceived for more than 20 years, but Baili Rui had also been tormented for such a long time.

“If you had sought confirmation at that time, Cheng Zixin would have lied to justify himself. Yunzhu has a deep affection for him, so I’m afraid that she would have thought you were lying to her. Anyway, those things are not important now. Mr. Baili, you must take good care of yourself and recover first so that you can avenge yourself.”

When Lin Mengya met her teacher in the dungeon for the first time, she thought he was the most powerful man in the world.

In her eyes, he used to be the omnipotent Saint of Poison, and she had not expected he would become like this after merely one year.

It could be seen that “love” would torture people and make them extremely miserable.
