Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 103
Chapter 103 A Mysterious Past
Bai Junzhuo tugged at Yin Xun’s sleeve and said, “What do you mean? Are you saying that he is my cousin, Bai Xu?”
Yin Xun nodded, “I’ve heard a bit about Young Master Bai. I know that you fled here with disappointment because your loved ones died in the chaos of war, ignoring the world.”
“I told you you recognized the wrong person!”
“I, the Ancient One, have truly gained my heart.” Yin Xun read the poem that he had just read, “The enemy princess that you miss is still affecting your heart for a long time. The two of them are deep in discussion and will stay in your heart forever. The second poem that you read just now says that you hate war. If there is no war, you and the person you love can be happy just like ordinary people.”
“Haha,” the man sneered. “You think I’m Bai Xu just because of these two poems? I just feel that copying scriptures every day is too boring, so I just wrote some poems to read.”
“Is that so?” Yin Xun still stared at him.
Bai Junzhuo was very puzzled. He pulled Yin Xun and said, “They said it wasn’t Bai Xu anymore. Let’s not disturb him anymore. Let’s go.” After saying that, he pulled Yin Xun out.
After leaving the room, Bai Junzhuo shook off his hand and said, “What the hell are you doing? Is pulling Gu Wen awesome? Bullying me is hard to understand?”
Yin Xun glanced at her and replied indifferently, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“That’s it,” said Bai Junzhuo with a sad expression. “We can’t play together happily because we don’t know how to speak. Let’s part ways as soon as possible.”
Yin Xun frowned and patted her on the head, “What did you say?”
Bai Junzhuo glared at him, “I’m just kidding. You actually hit me. It hurts!”
“You can’t say things like’parting ways’ in the future. You can’t joke around!”
As a science student, she didn’t know more than twenty idioms, but she was actually restricted!
“Alright, if it really hurts, I’ll rub it.”
Yin Xun stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the place he had just patted. As he rubbed it, he said, “That person should be your cousin Bai Xu.”
Bai Junzhuo’s face was full of disbelief, “They said no, but if he really is, then why is he not excited at all when I scold Bai Xu in front of him, and there is no reaction at all?”
“So you said that Bai Xu was defeated because you wanted to test him.” Yin Xun smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be really smart.”
“Of course. Seeing that this person’s eyebrows are somewhat similar to the Bai Clan’s, I naturally have to probe,” Bai Junzhuo said proudly. “There’s no need to admire me. I’m already so clever.”
Yin Xun raised his eyebrows and said, “I thought you were clever when you only fought against women. When you met men, especially good-looking men, they were like pumpkin porridge that had been cooked.”
“How dare you say that to me!”
When did she get confused when she saw a good-looking man? Was she that stupid! Only in front of him would she be confused.
“I am your master. You can say anything you want.”
“You!” When Bai Junzhuo was angry, he reached out to touch his small bag. Only then did he realize that she had left her bag in the person’s room just now. He cried out in alarm, “Oh no, I have to go back and get my small bag!” With that, she turned around and ran back.
Bai Junzhuo ran to the door and knocked.
“Young Master, I accidentally left something with you just now. Can you give it to me?”
The man looked around and found Bai Junzhuo’s small bag. He picked it up and opened the door to return it to her.
While thanking him, Bai Junzhuo reached out to receive the bag. Before he could get it, the man let go of the bag first. The small bag fell to the ground, and the bottles and jars and a few snow lotus fruits inside fell out.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but the man was stunned. After a long time, he bent down to pick up the snow lotus fruit that had rolled to his feet and asked anxiously, “Where did you get this thing?”
Bai Junzhuo was slightly stunned and replied, “You dug it up on the road. Why do you recognize this fruit?”
The man did not answer her. The hand holding the snow lotus fruit trembled slightly. He was stunned for a long time. He suddenly turned around and held Bai Junzhuo’s shoulders. He said excitedly, “Where did you dig it? Tell me!”
Bai Junzhuo was shocked. At this moment, Yin Xun also followed him. He went over and patted the man’s hand away, protecting Bai Junzhuo behind him.
“It’s not impossible to tell Young Noble about the Snow Lotus Fruit. However, Young Noble also needs to tell us your identity. Are you Bai Xu?”
Bai Junzhuo gently tugged at Yin Xun’s clothes, wanting to say that this person wasn’t of course, but he didn’t expect to see this man nod his head.
“I’m Bai Xu.”
“What? Are you really Bai Xu?” Bai Junzhuo was surprised.
Bai Xu sighed and nodded.
“Then why don’t you recognize me? Also, Grandma is seriously ill. Quickly follow me back!”
Bai Xu looked at her and said, “Cousin, you were just as old as Cardamom when I left home. Now that you have come out so beautifully, I believe that the Bai Clan is still as popular in Luoyang as before. Since that’s the case, you lied to me in order to let me go back if grandma is seriously ill, right?”
Bai Junzhuo said anxiously, “Just because I’m good doesn’t mean that the Bai Clan is good. Grandma is really seriously ill! Daddy, Second Uncle, Auntie Lin, and Bai Juntao are all dead. Bai Junlan’s whereabouts are unknown. The Bai Clan is now withered. Only you and I are left!”
Bai Xu still didn’t seem to believe her words and only smiled faintly, “What does that have to do with me? Since the Bai Manor pushed Yan Kang onto the guillotine three years ago, I have no connection with the Bai Clan at all.”
“Yankang?” When Yin Xun heard this name, he hesitated for a moment. “Zhu Yankang? Is this the name of the princess of the Ancient Fish Kingdom who loved you?”
“Do you know her?” Bai Xu’s eyes lit up as soon as he said this.
Yin Xun shook his head.
“Then why do you know her surname is Zhu?” Bai Xu asked, “The surname of the Ancient Fish Kingdom is Ji.”
Yin Xun replied, “The Ancient Fish is still fire. Thanks to the Fire God’s blessing, the princesses of the Ancient Fish have bestowed the surname of Heaven as Zhu. I have read about it in the book, so it’s not surprising that I know her surname.”
Bai Xu’s expression darkened again. He bitterly smiled and said, “Yeah, she’s just a prisoner of war who was cruelly abducted. So what if he knows her name?”
“Although I don’t know her, I’ve heard of her. Those prisoners of war who were abducted back then would have a slight status in the Ancient Fish Nation. I didn’t see Zhu Yankang’s name on the list. Zhu Yankang was also a hostage sent by the Ancient Fish Nation to the Li Nation, so unless absolutely necessary, the Li Nation’s royal family won’t touch her. She escaped.”
Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows and looked at Yin Xun. How could he understand the royal family and the war so clearly? Could it be that he was lying in order to trick Bai Xu back to Luoyang?
Bai Junzhuo didn’t believe it, so naturally, Bai Xu wouldn’t believe it either.
“What qualifications do you have to look at the list of prisoners of war that were deceived? Even if what you said is true, the Li Imperial Family cruelly deceived 100,000 prisoners of war who had surrendered, including women and children who had no ability to resist. Therefore, Yan Kang would definitely not be able to escape from the hands of the Yin clan.”
Yin Xun explained indifferently, “It wasn’t Emperor Yuan who gave the order to kill the prisoners of war back then. It was General Zou Qi who made the decision. Because of this, Emperor Yuan withdrew his military power from Zou Qi, and the entire Madam Zou clan was demoted. You should know about this, right?”
Bai Junzhuo opened her eyes wide to look at Yin Xun, then looked at Bai Xu. There were too many things she didn’t know! Also, what did Bai Xu mean by the Yin Clan? Could it be that Li Kingdom’s royal family surname was Yin? Then Yin Xun …
Bai Xu hesitated for a long time before nodding, “Naturally, I know about this matter.”
“Wait! Wait a moment!” Bai Junzhuo finally couldn’t help but ask Yin Xun, “What exactly are you talking about?”
Yin Xun explained, “Zou Qi is Old Madame Bai’s biological brother. Zou Qi’s father was the founding general of our Li Kingdom. The Zou clan originally had monstrous power. Zou Qi inherited his father’s courage and invincibility on the battlefield, but it was too brutal. The trap and capture that led to the decline of the Zou clan.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded. It turned out that she was a descendant of the General Sect after two generations. Her status was also so noble.
However, she reacted for a moment and asked doubtfully, “As a descendant of the Zou Clan, I don’t even know about these things. Why do you know so clearly? Is the royal family of the Li Kingdom surnamed Yin? Who exactly are you?”
Yin Xun smiled faintly, “You actually don’t know the Li Kingdom’s royal family’s surname, Yin?”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him in surprise. The Li Kingdom’s royal family was really surnamed Yin, so he was also a relative of the royal family?
Before he could finish asking, Bai Xu looked at Bai Junzhuo and pointed at the Snow Lotus Fruit in his hand. “Can you tell me about this Snow Lotus Fruit now?” He asked.
“Oh, this was dug up from a place between Luoyang and Wancheng,” Bai Junzhuo answered his question first. “The farmer woman who planted this thing said that three years ago, a fairy gave her a seed. She threw it away casually, and the next year, it became a full field.”
Bai Xu lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time. Then, he raised his head and his eyes turned red. There was a hint of joy in his tone, “She’s not dead. She really escaped!”
“What?” Bai Junzhuo was confused again, “You can’t tell from this snow lotus fruit that this princess isn’t dead, right?”
Bai Xu nodded.
“This Snow Lotus Fruit has the effect of dispelling the strange poison. It is the sacred fruit of the Ancient Fish Kingdom. This fruit is planted in winter, blooming in summer and bearing fruit in autumn. Yan Kang brought a bag of seeds that year and told me that we would plant it together in winter. “You said that three years ago, the woman casually threw it away, and it grew a field the next year. This proves that Yan Kang gave the seed to the woman in winter. It was the summer of three years ago when he killed the prisoners of war, so Yan Kang did not die!”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly came to a realization and nodded, “Then cousin, since this princess is not dead, why don’t you follow me back to the Bai Manor?”
Bai Xu thought for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, “Although she is not dead, after all, three years have passed. I believe that Yan Kang has found someone else to tie the knot with. There is nothing I can’t let go of anymore. From now on, I can concentrate on studying Buddhism.”
Does he mean that he really wants to shave off his hair and become a monk?
Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun exchanged a glance and immediately advised, “Perhaps the princess has been looking for you all these years? Perhaps she hasn’t married anyone and is just waiting for you.”
Bai Xu shook his head, “Impossible. Yan Kang has the status of the princess of an enemy country, so there is no chance of returning. The subjects she brought over were all killed again. If she doesn’t marry, how can a woman’s family live for three years?”
Bai Junzhuo curled his lips. She was still a woman. She was also not married. Having a family was not as good as having no family. Wasn’t she still alive?
Bai Xu put the snow lotus fruit into Bai Junzhuo’s bag and said to her, “You guys go. Thank you for bringing me the news that Yan Kang is still alive. I’m very happy.”
“Cousin!” Bai Junzhuo frowned and said, “Are you sure you don’t want to go back to see Grandma one last time?”
