Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 123
Chapter 123 His Enemy Was Actually Him
Mrs. Zou was both shocked and afraid when she saw Zou Qi. However, he calmed down for a moment and narrowed his eyes. His gaze was even clearer and brighter than usual. He asked, “Are you a human or a ghost?”
Zou Qi forced the corner of his mouth down and replied, “People don’t look like people, ghosts don’t look like ghosts.”
Madam Zou’s face turned a little pale. He pursed his lips and said, “I didn’t expect that brother is still alive.”
“But all of our Zou Clan died at the hands of the Abyss Emperor!” Zou Qi shouted.
“What, you still want to kill the Abyss Emperor for revenge?” Madam Zou grew calmer and calmer. He returned to his soft couch and lay down, “Brother, you’re already quite old. You should live the rest of your life peacefully.”
“No, I don’t want to kill the Abyss Emperor. I also don’t want to live this life. I want to kill the person who framed me and sacrifice him to the hundred souls of our Zou Clan!”
Madam Zou said coldly, “Brother, it was your own decision to kill the prisoners of war. The Yuan Emperor’s decree to annihilate the Zou Clan also had a reason. Who can you blame? Listen to me and live peacefully!”
‘”No, I didn’t give the order to kill the prisoners of war. It was clearly Yin Che, this little bastard. He followed me in conquering the Ancient Fish. Afterwards, he ordered all the prisoners to be buried alive. He even blamed this on me!” Zou Qi said as he hammered his own legs, “You did everything you could to me in prison. You crippled my legs. If Lord Si Zhou Chishi Cha hadn’t secretly sent someone to save me, how could I survive in this world?”
Mrs. Zou looked at Zou Qi in disbelief and asked suspiciously, “The one who really issued the decree to kill the prisoners of war was Fourth Prince Yin Che, not you?”
Zou Qi snorted coldly, “I, Zou Qi, kill people without blinking an eye on the battlefield, but I will definitely not kill weak women and children who have no ability to resist!”
Madam Zou thought for a while and then asked, “Why have you been staying in Luoyang? If you want to kill Yin Che for revenge, you should go to Liangzhou City that he guarded.”
Zou Qi slammed the table. “My legs are crippled. How can I go to Liangzhou City? Besides, Liangzhou is his military force. It’s difficult to approach him with my remnant life. Why should we talk about assassinating him? However, Yin Che and Lord Cha have been good friends since childhood. Every time he returns to Xuchang from Liangzhou, he will pass through Luoyang and rest in the state capital. I will wait here and wait for the opportunity to assassassinate him.”
Madam Zou frowned slightly, as if he had suddenly thought of something. After pondering for a while, he said, “Since Lord Cha has a close relationship with the Fourth Prince, does the Fourth Prince really not know that he secretly let you go?”
Zou Qi was shocked and frowned, “What do you mean?”
Madam Zou hesitated and said, “As for Lord Cha, I do know one thing. Before he became the governor of Si Prefecture, the Crown Prince who had been in Xuchang for a period of time, Horse Washing, was recommended to the previous emperor by the Fourth Prince.” To put it bluntly, Lord Cha is Fourth Prince’s confidant. If he lets you go, I think Fourth Prince will definitely know. Perhaps it was Fourth Prince who sent Lord Cha to save you. Since he wants to save you, does it mean that he didn’t give the order to kill the prisoners of war? ”
Zou Qi thought about it carefully and immediately felt a little restless. “Back then, there were only Yin Che and I in command of the army. I didn’t give an order. Who else could he have if he hadn’t?”
Madam Zou looked at him with rapt attention. “Brother, if you were focused on revenge, I wouldn’t object. Anyway, I have long since separated myself from the Zou Clan. But I hope that you will find out the truth and not be used by the adulterers to kill innocent people in vain.”
Zou Qi closed his eyes, as if he was thinking.
“I also deeply dislike the Yin Clan, but some of the blame cannot be placed on them in vain.” Madam Zou picked up the cup beside the table and slowly shook it, “Brother, since you have already met me, you can stay in the White Manor in the future.”
Zou Qi remained silent for a long time before nodding his head lightly. “There is also a girl from the Ancient Fish Nation who was saved by Lord Cha back then. She has taken good care of me for the past three years.”
“Brother, don’t worry. I’ll send someone to inform her.”
“I mean to redeem her and take her over to live with her.” Zou Qi said seriously.
“What?” Mrs. Zou asked back. Looking at the expression on her face, it seemed that she wasn’t willing to take the girl he spoke of.
“Since you don’t agree, I can’t force it.” The acupuncture point that Zou Qi had been pointed at by Shen Qing had been undone. He moved off the stool, squatted on the ground, and turned around to go out. “Thank you for your kindness. I’d better go back.”
“Wait!” Madam Zou hurriedly said. Seeing Zou Qi’s actions, he sighed and said, “Forget it. The Bai Clan doesn’t mind raising a girl from a brothel. Just treat her as taking care of you. Tell me the name of that person. I’ll send someone to redeem her tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Zou Qi supported his chair and sat back down.

Last night, there were too many questions about Cha Jinzhi. The next morning, Bai Junzhuo wanted to head straight for the state capital. But just as he left, he was stopped by Yin Xun.
“Where are you going so early in the morning?” Yin Xun asked curiously.
“Find Lord Cha and ask him something.” “What did you do to Grandma last night? Why does Grandma hate you so much all of a sudden?” Bai Junzhuo replied, remembering what Mrs. Zou had said to her last night.
Yin Xun smiled faintly, “Mrs. Zou already hates me.”
“I originally hated you, but I didn’t interfere with my dealings with you. But last night, not only did Grandma say that she didn’t allow me to have anything to do with you, she also didn’t allow me to have anything to do with all the people surnamed Yin.” Bai Junzhuo stretched out his finger and poked him in the chest, “You’re so powerful, bullying the old man.”
Yin Xun grabbed her hand and said with a smile, “What about you? Listen to your grandmother and ignore me from now on?”
“I won’t ignore you,” Bai Junzhuo said. “However, Grandma has already said so. I definitely won’t go to Chang’an with you in the future.”
Yin Xun only smiled slightly and stopped talking about it. He turned around and asked, “Aren’t you looking for Cha Jinzhi? Don’t go to the prefecture capital, just call him over directly. I happen to have something to ask him too. I think Zou Qi, who came over last night, is also full of questions.”
“Call him directly?” Bai Junzhuo shook his head. “This isn’t good. After all, he is the head of a state. How can he call him over for our family’s affairs?”
Just as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Kang walk in from outside, followed by Cha Jinzhi.
She heard Cha Jinzhi say to Lu Kang, “Lord Lu, what is the point of letting Cha Mou come here?”
Lord Lu? Alright, since Yin Xun is a prince, his attendant is still an adult no matter what.
Lu Kang brought Cha Jinzhi to the two of them and said to Cha Jinzhi, “Lord Cha came here because of General Zou Qi’s murder of prisoners of war three years ago. Why did Lord Cha save the Ancient Fish Princess who should have been executed in that massacre?”
Cha Jinzhi looked at Yin Xun with a hint of apprehension.
Lu Kang hurriedly said, “This is the Ninth Prince.”
Cha Jin was shocked and finally understood. Previously, he only remembered seeing him beside the Crown Prince of Jinnan, but he didn’t expect that he was actually the Ninth Prince! Moreover, judging from the way he got along with Bai Junzhuo, he was clearly a playboy. How could he be the ninth prince of a wealthy country?
Bai Junzhuo waved his hand in front of him and said, “Lord Cha, your soul has returned. Even if he is the Ninth Prince, he will not eat you.”
Cha Jinzhi came back to his senses and answered Lu Kang’s question, “I was entrusted by the Fourth Prince to save Princess Guyu.”
“Indeed.” Yin Xun whispered and asked, “Did he entrust you with saving Zou Qi?”
Cha Jinzhi nodded, “The Fourth Prince told me that although General Zou is valiant, he is not brutal. It is impossible for him to order the capture of prisoners of war.” However, there is ample evidence. It is impossible for the Fourth Prince to save everyone from the Zou Clan, so he asked me to find a death row prisoner to replace General Zou, so as to find out the real culprit who framed General Zou in the future. However, after General Zou was killed, the Fourth Prince was excluded by some forces in the court. He stayed far away and did not return for three years, so he was unable to find the murderer. ”
“Didn’t you tell General Zou about what the Fourth Prince asked you to do?” Lu Kang asked.
“No.” Cha Jinzhi shook his head.
“Then tell me.” Yin Xun said, “Explain it to him clearly, so that Zou Qi doesn’t think that our Yin Clan is persecuting him or causing injustice to Fourth Emperor Brother.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Kang extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, “Lord Cha, I will bring you to see General Zou now.”
After the two of them left, Bai Junzhuo pondered for a while. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, “Grandma hates your surname Yin. Could it be because of this?”
“Who knows.” Yin Xun said indifferently, “Even though the Yin Clan is a royal clan and a side relative of the political power, they have been trembling like thin ice for so many years, and they are inevitably framed.”
“There are some people who say that whatever they do is done by your Yin Family, right?”
Yin Xun nodded.
Bai Junzhuo immediately felt that he was pitiful. Born into an imperial family, he was going to be persecuted for no reason.
“You love me?” Yin Xun touched her face and said, “Then help me. Don’t let me bear all of this by myself.”
Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment and muttered, “But Grandma hates you so much that I’m not allowed to see you. If Grandma doesn’t hate you, she has to find out who framed the Fourth Prince back then.”
Yin Xun faintly smiled and gently stroked Bai Junzhuo, “Come with me to Chang’an to investigate the case?”
“But Grandma said …”
“Is Bai Xu coming back and Mrs. Zou going to let you go?”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment, “That’s possible.”
“The condition for Bai Xu’s return is that we find Princess Guyu. Moreover, Princess Guyu is not married and is willing to be with him?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “That’s right.”
“If we find the culprit who killed tens of thousands of prisoners of war of the Ancient Fish Kingdom, the stone in Princess Ancient Fish’s heart will be put down and she will no longer have any scruples and stay with Bai Xu, right?”
“Mm … right?”
“So, after taking a detour, I still have to go to Chang’an to find out the truth.”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned, as if there was nothing wrong with his logic.
Then, should we go to Chang’an?
Just as she was struggling, she suddenly saw that Lu Kang, who had just left, had turned back. The Fox Smile that had always been hanging on her face had completely disappeared. This was the first time Bai Junzhuo had seen him reveal such an anxious expression.
Holding a letter in his hand, he solemnly said to Yin Xun, “Master, Chang’an is in danger. We must return immediately!”
