Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 140
Chapter 140 Mysterious Grape Man
“Zhixuan, what did Uncle Grape want with your mother?”
Yin Zhixuan thought for a while, then leaned over and said, “I don’t know, Uncle Grape will ask Nanny Liu to take me out to play as soon as he gets there.”
Lu Kang’s brows furrowed slightly. What was related to Imperial Concubine Yu was the matter of the Evil Buddha. Could it be that this man was also related to the matter of the Evil Buddha?
Yin Zhixuan blinked her puppy’s sparkling eyes and pressed her finger against Lu Kang’s eyebrows. “Don’t frown. Uncle Grape said it. Frowning will make his heart ache.”
Lu Kang looked at her pink and tender little face and put on the appearance of a small adult. He couldn’t help but pinch it gently and asked with a smile, “What’s there to frown about as a child?”
Yin Zhixuan scratched her cheeks and said puzzledly, “I didn’t frown. I’m obedient. I never frown.”
Lu Kang was stunned for a moment, then he asked, “Who did Uncle Grape say would make him feel heartache if he frowned?”
“Mother Concubine,” Yin Zhixuan said with a smile. She extended her short finger to touch Lu Kang’s forehead, “Uncle Grape would still touch mother Concubine’s forehead like this, so mother Concubine won’t frown.”
To say such ambiguous words to a concubine, and to act too intimately, Consort Yu’s courage was really great. It sounded like this man was having an affair with Imperial Consort Yu, but who was he?
Thinking about it, Lu Kang asked, “Zhixuan, do you know Uncle Grape’s name?”
Yin Zhixuan pouted, “It’s grapes, Uncle Grape is grapes!”
Lu Kang was very helpless. After thinking for a while, he asked, “Have you ever heard of your mother calling Uncle Grape?”
Yin Zhixuan blinked and thought for a moment before saying, “It’s called grapes.”
“Your mother also calls him Grape?” Lu Kang could not believe that a man who could cheat on Consort Yu was either a high official or a high duke. A person with such status could actually call him Grape by such a disrespectful name?
Yin Zhixuan nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and revealed a nervous expression. She asked Lu Kang, “Uncle Lu, what are you doing? Do you want grapes from Uncle Grape?”
Lu Kang couldn’t help but chuckle. He reached out to pinch her tender cheek and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I won’t snatch grapes from you. Zhixuan, can you tell me what Uncle Grape looks like?”
Yin Zhi Xuan thought for a long time and replied, “Uncle Grape is very pretty.”
“How beautiful? Is it as good as your Ninth Uncle?” Lu Kang asked.
Yin Zhixuan decisively shook her head, “Of course, it’s not as good-looking as Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle is the most beautiful person in the world!”
“How tall?” Lu Kang asked.
“Yes” Yin Zhixuan stretched her arm wide open and said to him, “It’s so high!”
Lu Kang stood up and asked, “Is it as tall as me?”
Yin Zhixuan raised her small face and looked at him. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, “It’s the same height.”
Lu Kang nodded and continued, “How long has it been since Uncle Grape came to see your mother?”
“Imperial concubine mother has never come back since she went out to play.”
Lu Kang thought for a while, then reached out to pick up Yin Zhixuan and walked into her hall. As he walked, he said to her, “Zhixuan, can you not tell anyone about Uncle Grape?”
Yin Zhixuan pouted, “Can’t you say it again?”
Lu Kang nodded and said, “There is candy to eat if you obey.”
Yin Zhixuan nodded forcefully and patted Lu Kang’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Uncle Lu, I won’t tell anyone.”
“Be good.” Lu Kang smiled and nodded her nose.
When Lu Kang sent Yin Zhixuan back to the bedroom, she was already asleep on his shoulder. He sent Zhixuan into the bed.
The steward of the hall brought hot water to wipe her face, and then respectfully said to Lu Kang, “Thank you, Lord Lu, for sending the little princess back. It’s getting late, Lord Lu, please go back.”
Lu Kang casually covered Yin Zhixuan with a blanket and said to the granny, “Your Majesty has sent me to protect the little princess, so I have to stay in Spirit Void Hall for the next few days.”
Hearing this, Nanny revealed a puzzled expression. However, she did not ask anything. She only said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Lord Lu.”
Lu Kang nodded with a smile and asked her, “Are you Nanny Liu, who personally attends to the little princess?”
Nanny nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Can I speak with you for a moment?”
Granny Liu thought for a while and nodded. She and Lu Kang walked out of the hall.
Lu Kang was not too polite and directly asked, “Before Imperial Concubine Yu was executed, did young men often come to visit the little princess?”
Granny Liu was shocked. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Lord Lu, don’t speak nonsense. In this harem, apart from the father-in-law, the imperial physician, and the guards, how can a young man be allowed to enter and leave freely?”
“No?” Lu Kang thought for a moment and then asked, “Does the little princess like grapes very much?”
“Yes.” Nanny Liu nodded and said, “The princess likes to eat everything, but the princess feels that girls should restrain their diet from childhood, so the princess is not allowed to eat too much. For example, grapes, pineapples, ice-sugar gourds and candy people. As long as they are sweet, the princess can’t touch them.”
Lu Kang was slightly helpless. Yin Zhixuan was really pitiful. As a princess, she could not eat anything. No wonder she was so easy to cheat.
“Lord Lu, do you have anything else to ask? If not, this servant will go in and serve the princess.”
Lu Kang hurriedly said, “Mammy, please go ahead.”
When Nanny Liu entered the hall, the more Lu Kang thought about it, the more suspicious it became.
Who was that man?

The next day, Bai Junzhuo left the palace and gathered with the doctors in the city at Taibai Pavilion. After everyone had arrived, Bai Junzhuo asked Zhang Liangyan, “Doctor Zhang, how is the situation?”
Zhang Liangyan’s face revealed a joyful expression as he replied, “The infected person’s entire body will fester within a few hours, but in three to five days, his body will rot and die. However, after taking the medicine according to Lord’s prescription, he really recovered.”
Bai Junzhuo also smiled and asked, “Is it just getting better? Does Lord Zhang think there is a possibility of a radical cure?”
Zhang Liangyan’s smile dimmed slightly as he shook his head and said, “I need to see this again.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and instructed everyone, “Since this recipe is effective, let’s prepare the antidote according to the prescription and give it to all the sick people in the city.”
Everyone accepted the order and was about to leave when Bai Junzhuo said, “There is one more thing, everyone should pay attention.”
Everyone stopped to listen to her.
Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment and reminded, “There may be a problem with the water in the Yong’an Canal. Everyone, try not to drink it. If you have to drink it, you must boil it. Please also remind the citizens of the city about this matter.”
The doctors took note of it and walked out of Taibai Pavilion one after another.
Bai Junzhuo was behind everyone and was about to go downstairs. When he reached the first floor, he suddenly heard someone behind him say, “Lord Bai, can you spare me a moment?”
Bai Junzhuo turned his head. It was a young man, probably twenty-seven to twenty-eight years old. “Who are you?” She asked curiously.
“Nameless junior, it’s not worth asking.”
Bai Junzhuo rolled his eyes secretly.
“I’m very busy. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” Bai Junzhuo said and was about to leave.
“Lord Bai’s prescription can only alleviate the epidemic, but not eradicate it.” The man suddenly said, “I’ve tried.”
Bai Junzhuo stopped and turned to ask, “Really?”
The man nodded and pointed at the corner.
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and followed the man to the corner to sit down.
The man poured a cup of tea for Bai Junzhuo and himself. Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but ask, “Are you also a doctor?”
The man shook his head and said, “I only know a little about medicine. I’m not a doctor.”
“Not even a doctor can think of a prescription for me?” Bai Junzhuo sneered and said, “Chang’an is really a crouching tiger hiding a dragon. We can’t make a living as a doctor.”
The man laughed loudly, “Lord Bai is modest. Everyone in Chang’an knows that His Majesty is ill and he didn’t live for three to five days. It was Lord Bai’s fault that His Majesty lived for so long. Right now, the entire Chang’an City is looking forward to Lord Bai saving the entire city.”
What does this man want? Just trying to hit on her?
“Stop talking nonsense,” Bai Junzhuo said coldly. “If you want to discuss the prescription for treating the plague with me, quickly say it. If it’s anything else, I won’t accompany you.”
“Although it is not a prescription for treating illness, it is also related to this plague.” The man said, “Has Lord Bai heard of the Southern Barbaric Evil Buddha?”
Bai Junzhuo was shocked. Not only had he heard of it, he had also shattered it not long ago.
The man continued, “I heard that not long ago, the Li Kingdom invited an evil Buddha from the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, but for some reason, it was broken. Does Lord Bai know about the curse of the evil Buddha?”
Bai Jun smiled and said, “There is no such thing as the curse of a deity or a Buddha. All karma is done by humans themselves.”
The man shook his head and continued, “But after the Evil Buddha was shattered, there was this plague in Chang’an City immediately. Doesn’t Lord Bai feel that this plague is too sudden?”
“I didn’t live in Chang’an before. How do I know that this plague isn’t sudden?” Bai Junzhuo asked, “What exactly do you want to say? Just say it bluntly. There is no need to lead me into your topic step by step.”
The man was stunned and then smiled, “Alright, then I’ll be frank. I think you brought this plague.”
Bai Junzhuo was shocked. He patted the table and stood up. He said coldly, “Are you crazy? Don’t waste my time, okay? Goodbye!”
That person also stood up and stopped Bai Junzhuo. The smile on his face instantly disappeared and he said coldly, “What, do you not remember anything about the Spirit Industry Temple in Nanyang City?”
Holy shit, even if this Evil Buddha was really able to cause a plague, it had nothing to do with her. It wasn’t her who broke it. Yin Xun and Shen Wujie were the two partners who broke it, okay?
And who exactly was this person, why did he know about this matter so clearly?
That person approached step by step, and happened to not bring Shen Qing and Lu Kang with him today, causing Bai Junzhuo to panic.
The shopkeeper on the counter in the distance was still calculating. Bai Junzhuo touched the bracelet in his left hand and said, “Help …”
Before her voice could be uttered, and before she could activate the hidden weapon, Bai Junzhuo suddenly waved a sleeve of white powder at Convenience, causing him to immediately feel a pale light in front of him.
