Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 124
Chapter 124 Enter the Palace to See the Emperor
“Master, Chang’an is in danger. We must return immediately!”
Seeing that Lu Kang was so anxious, Yin Xun knew that something big had really happened. He hurriedly asked, “What happened to Chang’an?”
“Not long after His Majesty moved his capital, a plague broke out in Chang’an. The doctors in the city don’t know how to cure this plague.” Lu Kang paused for a moment before continuing, “What’s more, His Majesty also contracted this illness yesterday. All the imperial physicians in the palace are helpless, and the people of Chang’an are panicking!”
Yin Xun clenched his fists tightly. His royal brother was also infected with this plague. The Fu Clan would definitely do anything to inform the world about Emperor Yuan’s illness. If he couldn’t cure the Abyss Emperor as soon as possible, he would definitely take this opportunity to control the major events in the court, and even kill the Abyss Emperor and rebel!
Bai Junzhuo raised his head and looked at Yin Xun. He wanted to stretch out his hand to calm his tightly knitted brows. In the end, he remained silent for a moment with the two of them and asked, “When did the plague break out in such a large area?”
Lu Kang looked at the letter in his hand and replied, “Six days ago.”
“Six days ago” Bai Junzhuo thought for a while and suddenly said, “Isn’t that the day we broke the Evil Buddha in the Spirit Industry Temple?”
Lu Kang was stunned and asked, “Could it be that the problem with the Evil Buddha caused the Chang’an Plague to spread?”
“Impossible.” Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo said together.
“It’s just a coincidence. If a ceramic Buddha statue really has such great ability, our Li Kingdom doesn’t need to train in military forces. It’s fine to calcine Buddha statues every day.” Yin Xun said.
Bai Junzhuo nodded his head, “The outbreak of the plague in Chang’an is very likely due to the fact that everyone from Xu Chang has just arrived in Chang’an, and that the water and soil conditions are uncomfortable. It is normal for them to develop an epidemic at the same time.”
“Whether it’s the problem of the Evil Buddha or not, the most urgent matter is to cure His Majesty and resolve the plague in Chang’an City.” As Lu Kang spoke, he looked at Bai Junzhuo and said, “But all the doctors in Chang’an have no clue.”
Yin Xun also looked at Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said, “I don’t necessarily have a way.”
“Try it.” As he spoke, Yin Xun couldn’t help but pull her out and instruct Lu Kang, “Lu Kang, prepare the carriage and inform Mo Ying and Shen Qing. We will immediately rush to Chang’an.”
“Hey, hey!” Bai Junzhuo struggled and shouted, “I haven’t told grandma yet. Let me go!”
“Don’t make any noise.” Yin Xun pointed at her acupoints and picked her up.
Not long after, Lu Kang prepared the carriage. Yin Xun stuffed Bai Junzhuo into it, and Mo Ying drove the carriage. Lu Kang and Shen Qing rode behind him.
Two hours later, after leaving Luoyang City, Yin Xun unlocked Bai Junzhuo’s acupoint. Without waiting for her to speak, he said, “You’re so kind. You definitely don’t want to see Chang’an City’s lives being ruined and corpses scattered all over the place, do you?”
‘”Even if that’s the case, you can’t tie me up. Grandma is not an unreasonable person. If I tell her to save someone, she will definitely agree to it. Do you want me to tell her that she will die?” Bai Junzhuo said angrily.
Yin Xun glanced at her indifferently, “I didn’t kidnap you.”
“You point at my acupoints. This is even worse than being tied up by someone.” Bai Junzhuo almost cried.
Yin Xun bent down and kissed the corner of her eyes. He patted her head and said softly, “Be good, don’t cry. I’ll let Shen Qing go back and tell Madam Zou.”
“Who’s crying!” Bai Junzhuo glared at him, “Qing Shun told Shen to tell his grandmother that I will return to Luoyang immediately after I control the epidemic in Chang’an.”
“Alright.”
“Then ask Shen Qing to bring over my rats.”
“Alright.”
Bai Jun scorched his eyes, but he was still a little angry.
Yin Xun dotingly rubbed her hair and comforted her, “I’m doing this because I don’t want to hear Mrs. Zou talk nonsense. It’s annoying for the old woman to mumble every day.”
Bai Junzhuo snorted coldly, “She is an old man. What’s wrong with her reluctance to let her granddaughter travel far away?”
“Then I’m wrong.” Yin Xun smiled and said, “Didn’t you just find an accounting room for the Bai Clan? You don’t have to worry about the Bai Clan’s Medicine Hall. Zou Qi has also returned to the Bai Clan. Don’t worry about your grandmother being lonely.”
“What do you mean you’re wrong? It’s your fault!”
“Be good, stop messing around.” Yin Xun raised her chin and said, “I’ll kiss you again.”
Bai Junzhuo blushed and turned his head, his heart galloping like thousands of grass and mud horses. This was not the first time she felt that as a modern person, her IQ was completely suppressed by an ancient man!
This time, the plague happened all of a sudden. Everyone traveled day and night and finally arrived in Chang’an on the evening of the third day.
After entering through the Tonghua Gate, Bai Junzhuo opened the curtains and looked outside. The originally prosperous Chang’an City had very few passers-by, and the surrounding scenery was also extremely ashen.
A little beggar ran to the bun shop barefoot, grabbed the bun and stuffed it into his mouth. When the shopkeeper noticed that he was going to beat him up, he spread his legs and ran away.
He passed by Bai Junzhuo’s carriage and seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, so he turned to look at Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo was stunned. The little beggar’s face turned purple, his eyes cloudy, and festering pus could be seen everywhere under his tattered clothes. He smiled at Bai Jun, revealing his crooked yellow teeth.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly put down the curtain and patted his chest with lingering fear.
“What’s the matter?” Yin Xun hurriedly asked when he saw that her expression was not right.
“Nothing,” Bai Junzhuo shook his head. “Your Majesty is also infected?”
Yin Xun’s expression was heavy as he lowered his voice and said, “This is not Luoyang. We need to carefully consider every word before speaking. The matter of His Majesty contracting the disease is of great importance, so we mustn’t say anything else.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded repeatedly.
The imperial capital was actually so terrifying. Fortunately, he did not live here.
“Where are you taking me now?” Bai Junzhuo asked.
Yin Xun grabbed her shoulders and said to her very seriously, “The Imperial Physicians have no clue about the plague, so you must cure Royal Brother.”
Bai Junzhuo became even more nervous. “There are so many imperial physicians who can’t cure him. If I also …”
“No if,” Yin Xun interrupted her, “it’s impossible, and there’s no chance that you’ll have to deal with the plague in Chang’an City.”
Bai Junzhuo curled his lips and whispered, “You’re too bullying. No one else can cure you, and I’m no better than anyone else. Why do you insist on placing all the blame on me?”
‘”Because the plague happened soon after the imperial brother moved the capital, and even the imperial brother himself was infected with the plague. Fu Hou will definitely blame the imperial brother. If he takes this opportunity to seize power and usurp power, then there will be an inevitable war. The people who will suffer will definitely be the people.” Yin Xun explained to her seriously, “If there is chaos in Li, the Southern Barbarians will send troops. If the Wu National Assembly supports the Southern Barbarians, the Shu Kingdom will reap the benefits. In short, if this plague does not end, our Li Kingdom will be destroyed.”
Bai Junzhuo was almost suffocated by this responsibility. She just wanted to be a wealthy woman quietly, so why did she get involved in the ranks of the people’s warriors defending her country?
More importantly, Yin Xun approached her ear and said word by word, “Because you are my woman.”
“Ah?” Bai Junzhuo stared at him dumbly, his brain crashing again.
“Master, Miss Bai, Yanxi Sect has arrived.” Lu Kang said from outside.
Yin Xun patted Bai Junzhuo’s head and said, “We’re in the palace. Get out of the car and walk.”
When Bai Junzhuo got off the car and stepped onto the imperial city road paved with clean bluestones, he suddenly felt a little absent-minded. Not long ago, she was just a little girl fighting in Luoyang City. Now, she had already appeared in the Imperial Palace and was about to meet the most awesome person in the country.
“Isn’t your royal brother very scary?” She pulled Yin Xun’s sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Yin Xun shook his head, “No.”
“If I can’t cure your royal brother, will I be killed?”
“Yes.” Yin Xun nodded without hesitation and said, “I’ll die with you.”
“Oh … I don’t want to die. I still have many dreams.”
Yin Xun patted her head and comforted her like a puppy, “I believe you. You can definitely do it.”
After walking for a long time from Yan Xi Sect to the West inner court, Yin Xun stood at the door and waited for the eunuch to enter to notify him. Then, he brought Bai Junzhuo inside.
Inside the hall, there was a small amount of green incense. The Emperor sat behind the nine layers of white veil, unable to see his face clearly.
“This official greets His Majesty.” Yin Xun clicked his knee and saluted.
Bai Junzhuo followed him and knelt down. He recalled the lines in the costume drama and said, “Maiden Bai Junzhuo, see you, Your Majesty.”
She raised her head and looked inside the white veil. Seeing that Emperor Yuan had bowed his hands, she said lazily, “Stand down.”
The two of them stood up and the Abyss Emperor said, “Zisu, come over.”
The palace maids outside hurriedly lifted the white veil and led Yin Xun inside.
Bai Junzhuo stood at the back and looked around, wanting to see what the emperor looked like. Before she could see him, the palace maid put down the white veil again and didn’t let her see him throw it away.
Yin Xun did not know what he had said to the Abyss Emperor. After a long while, the Abyss Emperor asked the palace maid to bring Bai Junzhuo behind the white veil.
When Bai Junzhuo entered, she saw the Abyss Emperor leaning against the golden chair and looking at her with her chin propped up, and she also looked at the Abyss Emperor without any hesitation.
Emperor Yuan and Yin Xun’s eyebrows were very similar, but he looked thinner and weaker. At this moment, his face was pale, and his eyes were pitch-black. His eyes were bloodshot, and his divine appearance was haggard, but his eyes were still clear.
Seeing her like this, Yin Xun couldn’t help but cover his lips and cough. He whispered in her ear, “Don’t look straight at Saint Yan.”
“Oh.” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly lowered his head.
The Abyss Emperor chuckled and said, “A hundred smells is worth a hundred glances.”
As soon as he spoke, Bai Junzhuo was sure that the two of them were blood brothers, and their voices were almost identical.
Bai Junzhuo didn’t know what he was talking about, but based on the experience he had gained from ancient costume dramas over the years, it was best for the Emperor not to speak any further.
“I heard that you are a miraculous doctor who can cure my illness?”
Bai Junzhuo didn’t know how to answer. If he said no, then it was Yin Xun bullying him. If he said that he could, then what if he couldn’t? She didn’t know.
She turned to look at Yin Xun. Yin Xun helplessly replied on her behalf, “Brother Emperor, you can trust me. She will definitely cure you.”
“Alright then,” the Abyss Emperor nodded and stretched out his right hand. “Come and show me.”
Bai Junzhuo glanced at Yin Xun again. Yin Xun nodded to her before she walked over to check Emperor Yuan’s pulse.
After sighing for a long time, Bai Junzhuo frowned deeply. He stood up and peeled off the eyelids of the Abyss Emperor to take a look at his pupils. Then, he asked the Abyss Emperor to stab out his tongue to show her. Fortunately, the Abyss Emperor was quite cooperative.
After the examination, Bai Junzhuo’s expression turned ugly, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
“What, I’m too sick?” Emperor Yuan stared at Bai Junzhuo and asked.
