Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 137
Chapter 137 Er Zheng Wen Zhaoyi
Bai Junzhuo flipped through the pages one by one, and a scheming smile gradually appeared on his face.
After flipping through the notebook, he returned it to Nanny Zhu and said to her, “Didn’t Nanny send the motherwort to Wen Zhaoyi’s hall? I just happened to pass by when I was going. Why don’t you let me take it along and pay a visit to Wen Zhaoyi?”
Nanny immediately ordered someone to take out the medicinal ingredients and give them to Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo put the medicine into a large wooden box and hid something else from Nanny Zhu.
After finishing it, he rushed all the way to the small palace where Wen Zhaoyi lived. Bai Junzhuo didn’t know that in that short period of time, Imperial Concubine Shu’s words in front of Imperial Concubine Ming had spread throughout the entire harem. She already knew that she wasn’t an ordinary maiden, but a Tier 5 imperial physician’s decree.
Zhao Yi was only a low-grade sixth-grade concubine, so when she heard that Bai Junzhuo had come to visit her, Wen Zhaoyi hurriedly greeted her. She smiled and bowed slightly to Bai Junzhuo, saying, “Lord Bai.”
Bai Junzhuo also bowed and smiled, “Empress Zhaoyi.”
Wen Zhaoyi stood up and allowed Bai Junzhuo to enter the bedroom hall. He ordered people to serve tea and refreshments. After Bai Junzhuo sat down, he asked, “Why did Lord Bai come to the Little Manchu Hall?”
Bai Junzhuo sized her up and down, thinking that she had just sent someone to assassinate him when he came over. He knew that he was here to cause trouble for her. However, she did not panic or fear. It seemed that her IQ should be a level higher than that of Concubine Ming.
She smiled and said, “I looked through the records of the medicinal ingredients used by Your Highness these past few months. Is Your Highness in a state of lunar disorder and unusual pain?”
When Wen Zhaoyi heard this, she felt a little embarrassed and her eyes flickered.
“Your Highness, there’s no need to be shy. I’m also a woman.” Bai Junzhuo said to her affectionately, “Also, the Empress must be careful. The moon has been like this for a long time, and it is very likely that she will not be able to conceive a child.”
“What?” Wen Zhaoyi was shocked and immediately realized that she was being rude. She coughed twice and said, “My body has been weak and sick since I was young. This month, things have been unstable for several years. Could it really be …”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “Your Highness, you don’t have to worry. It’s still too late to remedy the situation.”
Wen Zhaoyi smiled gently and asked softly, “They say Lord Bai is a miraculous doctor. Does Lord Bai have a good idea?”
“I came to visit you today precisely for this matter.” Bai Junzhuo nodded and said. He took out a small box from the large box and handed it to Wen Zhaoyi.
Wen Zhaoyi’s result box asked, “What is this?”
“Open it and take a look.” Bai Jun lifted his chin and looked at her, his eyebrows curved like a crescent moon.
Wen Zhaoyi nodded and opened the box with her little finger raised. The moment the lid opened, something jumped out from inside and jumped onto her face.
It was cold and sticky, covering Wen Zhaoyi’s eyes. At first, Wen Zhaoyi didn’t know what it was. He took it down with his hand and saw that it was actually a toad. She was shocked and hurriedly threw away the toad and jumped up, shouting, “Someone! Someone!”
The father-in-law rushed in. Wen Zhaoyi pointed at the toad and said, “Quick! Get it out of here!”
Eunuchs immediately went up to catch the toad, but this toad was very clever and always jumped on Wen Zhaoyi, scaring her into pale.
Bai Junzhuo watched the show while drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
After a while, the toad was caught by the eunuchs. Wen Zhaoyi’s clothes were still untidy and her hair was messy. She said angrily, “Throw this thing out and beat it to death!”
When the eunuchs heard the order and were about to throw it out, Bai Junzhuo said faintly, “Your Highness hurts my heart. I went to catch this top-grade medicinal ingredient for you early in the morning. You actually didn’t want it, and you even wanted to beat it to death.”
When Wen Zhaoyi heard this, she realized that it was indeed inappropriate for her to do so. She immediately smiled and said, “Don’t throw it away. Lord Bai is saying that stewing medicine with this thing is good for my body.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “No, swallowing it alive is effective.”
Bai Junzhuo stood up, took the toad from the eunuch and held it in his hand. He handed it to Wen Zhaoyi and said, “Take advantage of the freshness and eat it quickly.”
Wen Zhaoyi frowned, revealing deep disgust and fear in her eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she took the box from before and said, “Lord Bai, put it in. I don’t have any appetite now. I’ll eat it later.”
Bai Junzhuo smiled. In any case, he had only come today to scare her. Moreover, there were still some moves left behind, so he no longer forced her and put the toad into the small box.
Wen Zhaoyi ordered someone to take the box down, cut his hair, and sat down. “Thank you for your kind intentions, Lord Bai.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Bai Junzhuo said with a smile, “but has Empress Zhaoyi heard about the assassination of Imperial Concubine Shu in the backyard today?”
Wen Zhaoyi looked surprised and shook her head, “I haven’t heard of it. Are you alright, Your Excellency and Your Highness?”
Never heard of it? Hmph, she even knew that she was a conferred imperial physician, but she actually didn’t know about such an important matter as the assassination of Imperial Concubine Shu?
Just now, she had a slight suspicion that this matter might not be her mastermind. It was the little eunuch who concealed it for her true master, but now, she was certain that it was this Wen Zhaoyi who masterminded it.
Bai Junzhuo looked at her with a smile and said calmly, “Your Highness, don’t worry. Imperial Consort Shu and I are fine.”
Wen Zhaoyi patted her chest as if she was greatly frightened. She murmured, “Bodhisattva really blessed you. Fortunately, the two of you are fine, especially your sister. If anything happens to her, I, I simply don’t know how to comfort His Majesty.”
Looking at her pear blossom and rain, it was as if Fu Mingyue was her biological daughter. Bai Junzhuo secretly exclaimed, what a beautiful white lotus flower!
A philosopher once said that life is fickle and bitch is repetitive, how similar it is. To sum it up, it could be roughly divided into the Ming Concubine category and the Wen Zhaoyi category. At a higher level, Bai Junzhuo had yet to experience it.
“Empress Zhao Yi, don’t worry. Aren’t we alright?” Bai Junzhuo comforted softly.
“Did the assassin catch him?” Wen Zhaoyi rubbed her red eyes and asked.
Bai Junzhuo nodded and sighed, “But before I could ask anything, I was beaten to death by Eunuch Zhao.”
Wen Zhaoyi also sighed, “I don’t know who actually has such a malicious intent. Although the Consort has been pampered for a long time, she scrupulously abides by her duty and will never harm the sisters in the palace.” She was the only noble imperial concubine Yu who could sit on equal footing with her in the harem, and for some unknown reason, she was executed by His Majesty. “My lord, it was only last night …” Wen Zhaoyi hurriedly stopped and said, “Sorry, my mouth is fast.”
Bai Junzhuo knew what she meant. She was hinting that Imperial Concubine Yu was killed by Fu Mingyue, so she could be translated as: “Imperial Concubine Yu was killed by Imperial Concubine Shu. You waited on the bed last night and His Majesty offended the usually arrogant Imperial Concubine Ming for you. She must have doted on you very much. So Imperial Concubine Shu must be jealous of you and wanted to kill you.”
Bai Junzhuo chuckled in his heart and said with a smile, “Empress Zhao Yi should also be careful.”
Wen Zhaoyi nodded, “Thank you, Lord Bai, for your kindness. I will pay attention to it.”
Bai Junzhuo put down the big medicine box and stood up. “I still have to go and treat His Majesty. I’ll visit the Empress another day.”
After saying that, Wen Zhaoyi ordered someone to send Bai Junzhuo out. After she left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief as if she had sent away the God of Plague. Just as she opened the box left behind by Bai Junzhuo, a furry thing suddenly crawled into her hand. Looking closely, it was actually a white mouse, scaring her so much that she immediately screamed miserably.
There were more than a dozen rats in this box and they crawled out. The palace maids in the hall were also screaming in fear. The others hurriedly came over to catch the rats.
As for Wen Zhaoyi, he had already fainted.
Bai Junzhuo left the hall and went back to the pharmacy. He happened to see Lu Kang there. Bai Junzhuo immediately greeted him and said, “Lu Kang, why are you here?”
Lu Kang’s face was still as dark as last night. He pointed at the things on the table and said, “I’ll send Miss Bai’s organs over.”
“You’re so sweet! I was just about to start developing the medicine.” Bai Junzhuo happily took the organs and continued to say to Lu Kang, “Oh right, I still have one more thing to trouble you with. Can you help me?”
Lu Kang could no longer put on his fox smile and said with a sad face, “Can you say no?”
“Of course not.” Bai Junzhuo continued, “The thing I want you to do is to go to Little Manchu Hall and bring me back twelve white rats. I have been raising them for so long, but I can’t be killed by them.”
Lu Kang sighed. This mission was barely acceptable, so he immediately went to the Little Manchu Palace to catch the rats.
Next, Bai Junzhuo really had to do something serious. She asked a few palace maids to help her, grinding the patient’s organs into powder and feeding them separately, or injecting them into the stomach, blood, and lungs of mice to imitate food transmission, blood transmission, and respiratory transmission.
Perhaps there were other ways of spreading this ancient disease, but the conditions were simple and crude, so this was the only way to do it.
When Bai Gonglu was alive, he had also told her the causes of some ancient plagues: wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire entered from the mouth and nose, invading the upper Jiao Lung Wei, and colliding with the five internal organs, causing a large-scale plague.
However, Bai Junzhuo did not think that this plague was caused by an unclean diet. After all, this was Chang’an, and it was not a small place that lacked water and food.
After finishing everything, Bai Junzhuo quietly observed the reaction of the mice.
The plague was indeed fierce. In just four hours, a few mice started to get mad. They desperately gritted their cages, their teeth broken, unable to continue gritting, they kept circling inside the cages.
After a while, the mice’s hair began to fall off. The exposed pink skin had already festered and flowed with pus, giving off a strange stench.
These experimental phenomena flashed through Bai Junzhuo’s mind like slides. All of the scenes were so familiar that it was as if he had done such an experiment before.
She stared fixedly at the crazy mouse in the cage, watching it twitch to death, causing a cage of blood and pus. The memories that had been hidden in her mind for a long time gradually awakened, and the memories from before were almost forgotten by her forever.
That was the cause of his death.
