Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 122
Chapter 122 The Secret of the Scroll
“Come with me to Chang’an, okay?”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned for a moment before shaking his head, “No.”
“Why?”
“I still have a lot of things to do,” Bai Junzhuo calculated carefully. “First of all, the Bai Clan’s Medicine Hall has experienced a period of previous blows. It is currently at a low ebb and needs me to stay.” Second, my cousin hasn’t returned yet. Grandma won’t let me go. Thirdly, my sister-in-law-to-be is a geisha, and I have to find a way to get her to leave voluntarily; “Fourth, I’m going to nurture these mice and develop an antidote to your poison. If I leave, wouldn’t all my efforts be wasted?”
Yin Xun couldn’t help but say to her, “First, the Bai Clan Medicine Hall is better opened in Luoyang than in Chang’an. Second, your cousin will go to Chang’an. Third, your sister-in-law-in-law-to-be will also go to Chang’an. Fourth, these rats can also be brought to Chang’an. So, pack up your things and prepare to come with me.”
Bai Jun was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses. He frowned and said, “Don’t lie to me. How can brother and sister-in-law go to Chang’an?”
Yin Xun didn’t seem to hear what she was saying. He nodded and said, “You’re right. We should discuss this matter with Madam Zou. If possible, bring her to Chang’an as well, so that you won’t worry.”
With that, he turned around and walked towards Madam Zou’s courtyard.
Bai Junzhuo’s brain directly crashed. What did she say? Although she did feel that she needed to discuss this matter with Madam Zou, she clearly did not say it out loud!
*
It was already late.
In Mrs. Zou’s room, Nanny He led Yin Xun inside. Mrs. Zou leaned against the soft couch and glanced at Yin Xun, “Your Highness, forgive me. This old bone of mine is inconvenient to move, so I won’t bow. Your Highness, please take a seat.”
Yin Xun never cared about this and directly said, “Old Lady, this king wants to bring your granddaughter to Chang’an.”
‘”Chang’an” Madam Zou thought for a while. “I heard that Emperor Yuan moved the capital to Chang’an a few days ago. But my granddaughter is filial and sensible. She definitely won’t abandon the Bai Clan and go to Chang’an with His Highness.”
Yin Xun said nonchalantly, “There are only your grandchildren left in the Bai Clan. Let’s go to Chang’an together.”
“Haha, Your Highness is joking.” Madam Zou sneered, “Not to mention that I still have a grandson who hasn’t returned and a granddaughter whose whereabouts are unknown, my Bai Clan has been developing in Luoyang for a hundred years. Does Your Highness know how much money we have to lose if we leave just like that?”
“So Old Lady is unwilling to go to Chang’an?” Yin Xun smiled indifferently. “Forget it, anyway, I don’t plan to really bring an old woman like you to Chang’an. I’m just being polite to my elders from this junior.”
“You” Madam Zou was so angry that he almost broke the cup in his hand. After a while, he calmed down and said to him, “I don’t allow Zhuo’er to leave Luoyang, she’s not allowed to go anywhere!”
“If I want to leave with her, she must leave with me.”
Yin Xun’s tone was calm, but she was inexplicably suppressed to the point that Mrs. Zou could not speak, causing her to gasp for breath.
Seeing that she had nothing to say, Yin Xun turned around and was about to leave. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. During the day, I saw the old general Zou Qi.”
Mrs. Zou’s eyes widened. She hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the couch. She chased after Yin Xun with the help of Nanny He. Her voice trembled slightly as she said to his back, “Nonsense! He died three years ago and was beheaded by your Yin family!”
Yin Xun did not turn his head and only said, “The situation three years ago is complicated and confusing. How about the world? Why don’t you ask His Majesty to leave the palace and decide for yourself?”
With that, he walked out.
Mrs. Zou was panting for breath, and suddenly felt her head go blank. Her eyes darkened, and she was about to collapse.
Nanny He hurriedly helped her back to her bed and lay down.
Mrs. Zou waved her hand and said, “Hurry, hurry up and get Zhuo’er over here.”
“Yes.”
Granny He went out and soon called Bai Junzhuo over.
When Bai Jun Zhuo saw that Madam Zou’s aura was disordered and her face was pale, he hurriedly went forward to take her pulse and nervously asked her, “Grandma, what happened to you?”
Madam Zou took a deep breath and held Bai Junzhuo’s hand tightly. “Zhuo’er, you can’t leave Luoyang. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “Alright, Zhuo’er is not going anywhere.”
“From now on, you have to keep a distance from that man surnamed Yin. You also have to promise grandma that you will never be involved with a man from the Yin Family in this lifetime!” Mrs. Zou’s expression was deep, and she almost gritted her teeth and said to her.
Bai Junzhuo hesitated. What happened to Madam Zou? Stimulated by Yin Xun?
“Hurry up and promise grandma!” Madam Zou grabbed Bai Junzhuo’s hand even tighter, almost breaking her hand.
Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly. He wanted to withdraw his hand and whispered, “Grandma, your anger is too strong. It’s not good for your health. Can you calm down first?”
“Zhuo’er, are you unwilling to agree to Grandma’s request?”
“I…”
Bai Junzhuo was very hesitant. Although she also felt that it was impossible for her to continue walking with someone of Yin Xun’s status for a long time, if she let them part ways now, she would still be reluctant to part ways. Could it make him mentally prepared to break up again?
She rolled her eyes and changed the subject, “Grandma, didn’t you ask me to find a helper for myself to take care of the medicine hall together?” I found it. It was Young Master Jia who had been in charge of Shen Ji’s accounts. Although Young Master Jia was young, he was experienced and had a good character, unlike Shen Ze, who did everything he could to make a fortune. “So, grandma, are you going to give me that scroll?”
Madam Zou paused for a moment, then took out a scroll from under his pillow and handed it to Bai Junzhuo. “Grandma trusts your judgment in selecting people. But you must agree to what Grandma said just now!”
Bai Junzhuo pretended not to hear her words and excitedly opened the scroll, thinking that even without the antidotes, there would still be a prescription for strengthening one’s health.
In the end, she saw a whole scroll of words that she didn’t know, and even if she couldn’t understand it, she could still feel a sinister and terrifying picture.
Bai Jun raised the scroll and said, “Grandma, what is this? Why can’t I understand what’s on it?”
“This is Miao Jiang’s writing,” Madam Zou explained. “This scroll records soul-catching illusions. If you learn this illusion, you can control others like a shadow play.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at Madam Zou in disbelief, “How could there be such a thing?”
If it was really like what she said, wouldn’t it be that if she successfully cultivated the illusion technique on this scroll, she would be able to do whatever she wanted in this world? What kind of wealthy woman would she still be? She could directly control the emperor and become a queen herself.
However, she did not have such ambition, nor did she believe that this thing was really an illusion. She asked indifferently, “Really?”
Mrs. Zou nodded, “Three years ago, former general Zou Qi had conquered the Ancient Fish with only 10,000 soldiers and horses. The Yiling Guard relied on what was written on this scroll.”
The more she talked, the more mysterious it became. Bai Junzhuo also didn’t believe it. However, she couldn’t expose Mrs. Zou in person, so she could only pretend to be surprised and put away the scroll.
“Grandma, don’t worry. I will protect the scroll well and won’t let it fall into other people’s hands.”
Madam Zou nodded and pulled Bai Junzhuo’s hand. “Especially someone surnamed Yin. You must promise Grandma that you can’t continue to pester someone surnamed Yin!”
“That” Bai Junzhuo’s gaze wandered, wanting to say something nonsense to change the topic.
Just at this moment, a servant suddenly came in and said, “Old Lady, Young Master Shen brought a beggar in. He is right outside the door, saying that he wants to see Old Lady.”
Bai Junzhuo and Madam Zou were stunned. What kind of beggar did Shen Qing bring?
Before Madam Zou could say anything to let Shen Qing in, he saw Shen Qing walk in with an old man whose legs were obviously problematic. The old man kept shouting, and his voice was as sharp as steel wire rubbing against the blackboard, “Little bastard, quickly unlock my acupoints. If you have the guts to fight me, I’ll kill you!”
Shen Qing put the old man on a stool and said to Madam Zou, “Does Old Lady know him?”
The old man listened to him and looked up at Mrs. Zou. Mrs. Zou was also stunned. She walked out of bed trembling, her eyes filled with unspeakable excitement.
When Bai Junzhuo saw this posture, could it be that the old lover had met?
As she was mending her brain, Shen Qing walked to Bai Junzhuo’s side and whispered to him, “Miss Bai, hurry up and leave.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at Mrs. Zou. Her anger should have dissipated. Her body was probably fine for the time being, so she nodded and walked out with Shen Qing.
Outside, she hurriedly asked Shen Qing, “Who is the old man you brought? Why did you bring him here?”
“Master asked me to bring him here. He said that he was the former general Zou Qi three years ago. He was the brutal general who buried all the prisoners of war, women and children alive in one breath after winning the war.” Shen Qing explained.
“What? Is he Zou Qi?” Bai Junzhuo couldn’t believe it. “He’s so brutal. He should be executed for doing such a thing. Why is he still alive now?”
“That’s right, His Majesty ordered them to be plagiarized. Bai Old Lady was far away in Luoyang, and he had long since abandoned his relationship with the Zou Clan to avoid a calamity. As for why Zou Qi didn’t die, I’m also very puzzled.”
“Zou Qi” Bai Junzhuo muttered his name several times before suddenly asking, “Is the person Yin Xun saw in that shabby house today Zou Qi?”
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is that the most dilapidated part of the building?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded.
“Then the person Master is going to see should be him.”
Bai Junzhuo pondered for a moment. There must be many unknown things about the war three years ago. Zou Qi, who was supposed to be beheaded, and Gu Yu Princess, who was supposed to be decapitated, were not dead either. Moreover, Gu Yu Princess was still so close to her family’s enemies, so why?
Ai, if only she had worn it earlier, she would have known what had happened back then after personally experiencing the great battle.
However, the Ancient Fish Princess did not die. I heard that it was Cha Jinzhi who helped her. Then if Zou Qi wasn’t dead, could it also be related to Cha Jinzhi?
