Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 139
Chapter 139 Little Princess Zhixuan
Lu Kang suddenly said, “Miss Bai, I seem to know where the source of this plague is.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him in surprise and asked, “Really?”
Lu Kang nodded thoughtfully, “When Miss Bai was in the mortuary, she found the body of a little beggar who had just died. Did she not find it?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and asked, “That’s right. Didn’t you say that someone else moved it wrong?”
“I left Miss Bai alone that night to chase after two strange people. They stole the corpse from the mortuary and moved it to the upper reaches of the Yong’an Canal. They buried it at the edge of the canal. They probably stole the little beggar’s corpse as well.” Lu Kang paused for a moment and guessed, “Is it possible that this is the source of the disease?”
Bai Junzhuo stared at him with wide eyes and hurriedly said, “Where is it buried? Take me there quickly.”
Lu Kang nodded and left the Taibai building. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly followed.
The two of them reached the upper reaches of the Yong’an Canal. Lu Kang pointed to the soil on the shore and said, “Miss Bai, look at this place. The color is obviously different from other places. It was flipped over.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded. He picked up a stone and dug it up. Not long after, he saw a cyan-purple palm poking out. The edges of the palm had already rotted, turning out gray-pink muscles.
She stood up and sneered, “I thought that the people of Chang’an had eaten something that they shouldn’t have eaten, but I didn’t expect that it was created by people.”
“Sure enough?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded.
“The Compendium of Materia Medica records that where well water comes from the earth’s veins, it seeps from nearby rivers and lakes. The sewage mixed into the ditches of the city turns into alkali and rolls with the empty. The water source is extremely important to a city. Now that the Yong’an canal is polluted, it is inevitable that a plague will break out.”
Lu Kang Huanchest said, “The person who did this has a good time control. It just so happens that the Evil Buddha was broken, Consort Yu was executed, and His Majesty has just moved the capital. If the plague cannot be controlled, civil and military officials will definitely say that it was all because His Majesty moved the capital that this series of events happened.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly, “Is it this deep?”
Lu Kang glanced at her and said, “However, Miss Bai doesn’t need to worry about this. She just needs to focus on finding a cure for the epidemic.”
“Yes, but first, we have to seal the Yong’an Canal. We can’t let the people of Chang’an drink the water in the canal for half a year.” Bai Junzhuo raised his eyes and looked into the distance. “Send someone to dig out all the corpses here and burn them. Then plant trees by the canal.”
Lu Kang nodded.
Bai Junzhuo threw away the stone in his hand and clapped his hands. He raised his head and said to Lu Kang, “Let’s go back.” After saying that, Bai Junzhuo took the lead and walked back.
Lu Kang turned back to look at the Yong’an Canal and suddenly called out to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss Bai, this matter is not easy to reveal. It is best to dig corpses and plant trees in secret.”
“Why?” Bai Junzhuo was puzzled, “Digging canals and planting trees, as well as ordering the entire city not to drink the Yong’an canal water, are all massive actions. It’s not like they’re hiding anything. I’m afraid they won’t come secretly, right?”
Lu Kang said seriously, “We need to find the person who caused the plague. This kind of person is no longer just targeting His Majesty. He actually used the lives of the entire city as a joke. We cannot tolerate him!”
After a moment of silence, Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “You’re right. This matter needs to be considered for a long time and the mastermind behind the scenes should be pulled out.”
Lu Kang let out a “hmm” sound and returned with Bai Jun.
When the two entered the palace, they told Yin Xun about this matter. After Yin Xun heard this, he remained silent.
Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that Fu Hou that you’ve been talking about?”
Yin Xun shook his head and said, “The Empress Dowager is his younger sister, and His Majesty’s favorite concubine is his daughter. He is already at the height of his days, so there is nothing good for him if anything goes wrong.”
Lu Kang nodded and said, “Master is right, but who can benefit from this disease?”
Suddenly, a clear shout came from outside, “Let me in. I want to see Father Emperor!”
As soon as the voice sounded, the white veil moved, revealing a pretty and tender face. A girl who looked only three or four years old stared at the three of them with bright eyes.
Then Zhao Chang hurriedly walked in and hugged the girl and said, “Aiyo, hey, little ancestor, you can’t just run in, you know?”
After saying that, she wanted to take the girl out. The girl randomly kicked Zhao Chang and opened her arms to Yin Xun, “Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle!”
Yin Xun stood up and took her from Zhao Chang. He said to Zhao Chang, “You can go down first.”
Zhao Chang hesitated and said worriedly, “Ninth Prince, little princess …”
“It doesn’t matter.” Yin Xun said indifferently, and then Chief Zhao withdrew.
Yin Xun placed the girl on the stool. The girl looked at Lu Kang and Bai Junzhuo curiously. Then, she waved her legs and asked Yin Xun, “Ninth Uncle, why are you here? Where is Father Emperor?”
Yin Xun bent down to look at her and said, “Zhixuan, your father is going out of the palace to do something very important. He can’t let anyone know about it, so you can’t say it out loud.”
“Did you go out to play with Mother Concubine?” Yin Zhixuan asked excitedly.
“That’s right.” Yin Xun replied without hesitation.
Yin Zhixuan nodded and blinked her round eyes. “I know. Mother Concubine said that there are many bad people in the palace, so no one should know that Mother Concubine and Father Emperor are going out to play.”
Yin Xun smiled, patted her head and said, “Good boy, you’re so sensible.”
Yin Zhixuan pouted, revealing an unhappy expression. Then, she stretched out her five fingers and said, “I haven’t seen Father Emperor for seven days!”
“He’ll be back soon.” Yin Xun comforted.
Yin Zhixuan waved her hands and counted for a while, then spread out her hands and said, “I haven’t seen Mother Concubine for many days! When will Mother Concubine come back?”
“It will also be quick.”
Yin Zhixuan giggled as she climbed down from her chair and ran in front of Bai Junzhuo. She raised her head high to look at her and said, “Are you Father’s newly chosen concubine?”
She raised her head so high that Bai Junzhuo was really worried that she would twist her neck, so she squatted down and looked at her head-on.
Yin Zhixuan nodded and asked, “Are you the Ninth Aunt?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, Yin Xun pulled Yin Zhixuan over and said to her, “Yes.”
Really? Why are you talking nonsense in front of a child? Besides, Lu Kang is still here. Bai Junzhuo blushed and looked at him with reproach.
Yin Zhixuan looked frightened. She pouted again and poked Yin Xun in the chest, “Ninth Uncle is getting married. He won’t buy a little candy for Zhixuan!”
“When your father comes back, I will take you out of the palace to eat candy.” Yin Xun said, “But Zhixuan has to promise Ninth Uncle that he can’t tell anyone about your father’s absence, nor can he tell anyone that I’m here. Do you understand?”
“Imperial Grandma, can’t you?”
“No.”
“Nanny Liu, can’t you?”
“No.”
“Little Black and Little Flower can’t do that either?”
“No.”
“But Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua are not human beings.” Yin Zhi Xuan looked at Yin Xun doubtfully and said, “Ninth Uncle only said that he was not allowed to tell anyone. He did not say that he was not allowed to tell Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua.”
“In short, just don’t say it.” Yin Xun said seriously to her, “If you say it out loud, I won’t buy you any candy anymore. I’ll even shave off your hair and let you be bald.”
Yin Zhixuan immediately looked at Yin Xun with grievances, and tears immediately filled her eyes.
Yin Xun reached out and wiped away her tears. There was not a trace of emotion on his face. He said calmly, “If you dare to cry, I will never like you again. I will burn all your new clothes.”
Yin Zhixuan immediately withdrew her tears.
Bai Junzhuo sighed softly behind them. Indeed, he was not his own child. In the future, the child would not dare to be raised by him.
Yin Xun handed Yin Zhixuan to Lu Kang and said to him, “Protect her personally these few days. Don’t let her talk nonsense.”
Lu Kang nodded.
“Take her out.”
Lu Kang accepted the order and carried Yin Zhixuan out with one hand.
After they left, Yin Xun turned around and saw that Bai Junzhuo’s face was flushed red. He went forward to pinch her face and asked, “What are you thinking about again?”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly shook his head, “No, there isn’t!”
Yin Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at her, “Really?”
Bai Junzhuo shifted his eyes and changed the topic, “Oh right, which concubine gave birth to this child?”
“It’s Imperial Concubine Yu’s daughter. Imperial Concubine Yu has been executed by Royal Brother because of the Evil Buddha. This child doesn’t know that her mother is no longer here.”
Bai Junzhuo also nodded, “How pitiful. She is still so young.”
“Yes,” Yin Xun smiled helplessly. “If I were like this, my mother would have died at birth. It would be better.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him quietly. After a long time, he leaned over to hug him and whispered in his ear, “I will always accompany you.”
Yin Xun chuckled, “Well then, you’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
“En!”

After leaving the inner courtyard, Yin Zhixuan tugged at Lu Kang’s collar and asked, “Uncle Lu, where did Father Emperor and Mother Concubine go?”
Lu Kang replied, “We’re going to a very, very far place. We probably won’t be able to return until fifteen days later.”
Yin Zhixuan moved her hand to count for a while, then looked up at Lu Kang in grievance and said, “Your fingers are not enough.”
Lu Kang put her down and said with his hand, “I’ll lend you ten. Count them. I’ll buy you some candy tomorrow.”
Yin Zhixuan earnestly counted and said, “Uncle Lu, you are really a good person. You are as good as Uncle Grape.”
“Uncle Grape, who is he?” Lu Kang asked curiously.
‘”Uncle Grape is the uncle who will bring grapes. Every time he comes to Imperial Concubine Mother’s place, he will bring a lot of grapes. They are still red. They are different from the grapes in the palace. They are delicious. Imperial Concubine Mother doesn’t allow Zhixuan to eat grapes, so he secretly gives them to Zhixuan and asks Zhixuan not to tell anyone about his arrival.” Yin Zhixuan smiled at Lu Kang and whispered, “I saw that Uncle Lu is a good person, so I secretly told Uncle Lu.”
Lu Kang’s heart narrowed. Imperial Concubine Yu was in the harem, how could she secretly meet a man? Who was this person and what did he have to do with Imperial Concubine Yu? Most importantly, did they do anything to His Majesty?
Thinking of this, Lu Kang asked seriously, “Zhixuan, what did Uncle Grape want with your mother?”
