"You're right. But Prince Qing seems to be disloyal to His Majesty all the time. I'm His Majesty's cousin. Don't tell me you think I'll betray my cousin to help you? "
Lin Mengya tried to tempt him. In fact, even she did not expect things to go so smoothly.
In fact, what Lin Mengya didn't know was that Prince Qing had told his two sons about this before.
This time, as long as one of them made a great contribution and captured Princess Anle and her companions, the position of Prince Qing would be inherited by the one who made the great contribution.
This time, the two brothers had become mortal enemies. Therefore, when Lin Mengya said that the second son of Prince Qing had escaped, Zuo Yuanyi turned pale with fright.
He thought that his right to inherit the position of Prince Qing would soon be snatched away by that little bastard.
As a result, he lost his basic judgment and was only thinking of cooperating with Lin Mengya to protect the position of the crown prince of Prince Qing.
This could be considered as God helping Lin Mengya.
"That was my father's mistake. In fact, when my father fought with the emperor for the throne, he was instigated by a scoundrel. If I were to inherit the throne, how nice it would be to be a free and unfettered prince. If you can help me to regain the position of Prince Qing, not only will we write off all the grievances between us, I'll do my best to help the emperor to stabilize the situation. "
Zuo Yuanyi was eager to cooperate with Lin Mengya, but he forgot that even if he succeeded the position of Prince Qing, Zuo Qiuchen would not let him off.
However, at this moment, how could he still think so thoroughly?
As time went by, Lin Mengya was anxious, but she did not show it on her face.
Seeing that Zuo Yuanyi had offered to cooperate, she knew that the matter was half done.
"It's not difficult for me to help you, but it depends on your sincerity. Between us, it can be said that there is a small grudge between us. If I let you go, won't you immediately turn around and harm me? "
Zuo Yuanyi shuddered at the awkward expression on Lin Mengya's face. He was afraid that this cruel and merciless woman would kill him.
"Of course I'm very sincere. Besides, didn't we come here because of a misunderstanding? How could I possibly make an enemy out of you because of such a small matter? "
Zuo Yuanyi was busy expressing his loyalty. Lin Mengya looked at him with hesitation in her eyes.
But after thinking for a while, Lin Mengya seemed to believe him a little and said,
"How about this? Leave behind a keepsake to prove your sincerity in cooperating with me. I will also help you set your bones so that you won't have any sequelae. As for helping you seize the position of Prince Qing, consider it my compensation to you. What do you think? "
Zuo Yuanyi did not expect such a good thing to happen to him.
He hurriedly expressed his loyalty, wishing that he could dig out his heart and let Lin Mengya see what he really thought.
"No problem! As long as you say the word, I'll do anything for you! "
Zuo Yuanyi had thought that he would not be able to escape from Lin Mengya today.
However, who would have thought that things would take a turn for the better and actually allow him to obtain such assistance. Of course, he was extremely happy.
Although the injury on his right hand was excruciatingly painful, the position of Prince Qing was a greater temptation to him.
"Alright, since the heir of the crown prince is so straightforward, I'll trust you for the time being." At this moment, Long Tianhao, who had settled the matter with the second son of the crown prince, entered the reception room.
Seeing that everyone was present, Lin Mengya decided not to leave Zuo Yuanyi hanging.
"If your hand is delayed any longer, I'm afraid it will become disabled. How about this, let Prince Yu accompany you. Help me buy some herbs to treat your right hand. "
Although Long Tianhao did not know what had happened, he could tell from Zuo Yuanyi's expression that Lin Mengya must have fooled Zuo Yuanyi again.
Since she had asked him to follow Zuo Yuanyi, she must have wanted to see if he would play any tricks.
At that moment, Long Tianhao glared coldly at the idiot and made him shrink back a little. This was considered a warning to him.
Obviously, Zuo Yuanyi valued his hand more. Although he was a little frightened, he could not help looking at Lin Mengya eagerly, hoping that she could treat his hand as soon as possible.
Lin Mengya did not hesitate. She found a writing brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone at the back of the reception room and wrote down the names of all the herbs she needed.
Of course, most of the herbs were for Baishao, but there were also some herbs for Zuo Yuanyi.
Zuo Qiuyu had merely dislocated the joints of this fellow's hand and it was not a serious injury.
With Long Tianhao watching, Lin Mengya was naturally not afraid that he would play any tricks.
In less than an hour, all the herbs had been packed up and brought to Lin Mengya.
Zuo Qiuyu's speculation was confirmed. Although Baishao looked pale, she was still alive.
Thank goodness that the second son of the crown prince did not stab Baishao's heart with his sword.
Unknowingly, this increased the chances of Lin Mengya being able to treat Baishao.
"The herbs are here, but how do we deal with so many of them?"
Zuo Qiuyu was stumped by the fact that there were more than a hundred packets of herbs.
Moreover, Lin Mengya had mixed the amount of herbs from three different prescriptions together. Even he could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
"Let me do it. Help me prepare a big pot."
Long Tianhao and Zuo Qiuyu were dumbfounded by Lin Mengya's request.
This was not their territory. Where were they going to find a big pot?
Seeing that it was time for him to show his face, Zuo Yuanyi immediately stepped forward and said in an ingratiating manner,
"There is one in the kitchen. Follow me, Your Highness."
Long Tianhao and Zuo Qiuyu could not help glaring at him when they saw how ingratiating he was.
However, Lin Mengya had no time to care about anything else. She carried all the herbs and followed Zuo Yuanyi to the kitchen.
Long Tianhao stayed behind to look after Baishao while Zuo Yuanyi walked in front, followed by Zuo Qiuyu, who was guarding Lin Mengya.
Soon, the three of them found the kitchen. A few kitchen maids and servants who were busy in the kitchen immediately greeted them.
"Get out, get out. Don't stay here and get in the way."
Although Zuo Yuanyi did not dare to be insolent in front of Lin Mengya and her companions, he treated the servants with the authority of a master.
Soon, only the three of them were left in the kitchen.
After looking around, Lin Mengya chose the biggest pot in the kitchen.
At this moment, the stove was still burning. Lin Mengya untied all the herbs and examined them carefully.
"The two of you, help me light the fire. Remember, the fire can't be cut off or reduced. Do you understand?"
Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Yuanyi immediately nodded their heads. For Lin Mengya, these two noble men who had never set foot in the kitchen had no choice but to temporarily serve as cooks.
She added about half a pot of water to the pot. Soon, because of the strong fire, the water began to emit white smoke and eventually boiled.
When Lin Mengya felt that it was about time, she threw all the herbs in her hands into the water.
In an instant, with the help of the boiling water, the strong bitter smell of the herbs filled the kitchen.
Not to mention Zuo Qiuyu, even Zuo Yuanyi, who was a layman, had never seen Lin Mengya's crude way of handling the herbs.
When Zuo Yuanyi saw the little beauty with a sword stuck in her chest at the back of the flower hall, he understood that these herbs, which cost him hundreds of taels of silver, were not just for the treatment of his right hand.
The music score for the green stringed instrument was indeed an extraordinary book. Ordinary herbs would only be able to release their medicinal properties after a certain amount of decoction and treatment.
However, the recipe of the music score for the green stringed instrument was different. Lin Mengya put a big pot on the rack and boiled it over a strong fire. She then put the herbs into the pot in order.
She kept the fire at a medium temperature until the last herb was put in. After a while, it would be done.
Of course, this was a shortcut method. The medicinal properties of the herbs were only activated by thirty percent. However, there were many herbs that acted as supplementary ingredients in the pot. They absorbed each other's medicinal properties and activated the medicinal properties of the herbs.
Otherwise, the herbs that were boiled would just be a pot of bitter vegetable soup.
This was the first time Zuo Qiuyu had seen this method of boiling herbs. He was surprised and worried at the same time.
Would this medicine, which was like boiling a vegetable, really have the miraculous effect that Lin Mengya had mentioned?
Due to the heat, the medicine began to thicken.
Lin Mengya quickly scooped out a little bit of the thick brown medicine with a spoon and put it into the white bowl.
Actually, it would be better if she kept it for a while longer.
However, she could only ask for speed now.
Lin Mengya took the small bowl back to the Flower Hall, but not all of the medicine was drunk.
Instead, she sent Long Tianhao to the front hall. Then, she carefully untied Baishao's clothes and gently applied the warm medicine on her wound.
Although it was recorded in the music score for the green stringed instrument that this medicine had the effect of slowing down the flow of blood, the wounds on Baishao's chest had already scabbed over time.
Lin Mengya applied a thick layer of the medicine on her wound, but she did not know what the final effect would be.
For some unknown reason, the medicine that had just been applied was strangely absorbed by Baishao's wound.
Lin Mengya looked on anxiously. Soon, the hand that she used to feel Baishao's pulse also felt the weak heartbeat slowing down.
The heart was a pressure pump for the body to transport blood.
Now that the heartbeat had slowed down, it meant that the circulation of blood had slowed down.
Finally, Lin Mengya felt a little relieved. Now that the first step was successful, the subsequent treatment would not be so dangerous.
The wait was long. Lin Mengya stared at Baishao for half an hour until she was sure that the medicine on her chest had been completely absorbed. Then, she helped Baishao to fasten her collar.
Next was the most important step. She had to pull out the long sword from Baishao's chest.
