Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 144
Chapter 144 The Mysterious Old Man
Bai Junzhuo nervously looked at the blurry outline and said, “Who are you?”
After a long while, he did not see the other party reply, nor did he do anything. Bai Junzhuo was puzzled. Could it be that this person in front of him was not a human? But when he went out earlier, he didn’t notice anything.
“Is anyone there?” She asked again, but the other party still did not answer her.
She heaved a sigh of relief. Probably, the black shadow in front of her was something. She groped her way to the thing and tried to figure out what it was.
The feeling was like fine silk, and the things wrapped in the silk were soft and hard, like the chest of a human.
“Cough cough.”
The black shadow in front of him finally spoke. Bai Junzhuo immediately jumped two steps away when he heard the commotion and said in surprise, “Who exactly are you?!”
“Your eyes can’t be cured with cassia seeds alone. You still need good wood ganoderma lucidum.”
The man spoke in a husky voice that he had never heard before.
Bai Junzhuo was confused and asked him, “Who are you? Do you know what happened to my eyes?”
The man took out an item and put it down. He said to Bai Junzhuo, “I happen to have a piece of wood spirit ganoderma here.”
Bai Junzhuo was even more puzzled, “Do I know you?”
The man stopped talking and took a step towards Bai Junzhuo. Before he could approach, Bai Junzhuo suddenly felt an inexplicable pulling force pulling her away from his shoulder. Then, he heard Shen Wujie’s cold voice, “What do you want to do?”
“Shen Wujie, you know him? Who is he?” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly asked.
“I’ll tell you later.” Shen Wujie whispered to Bai Junzhuo before turning to the man, “Go out and talk.”
The man nodded and walked out with Shen Wujie.
Bai Junzhuo did not follow them out, but hid under the window to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Outside, the man said, “This little girl’s eyes have nothing to do with me. I didn’t send someone to poison her blind.”
Shen Wujie didn’t seem to believe it and snorted coldly, “How could it not be you? Could that person still have the guts to go against you?”
“That’s right. The plague in Chang’an City and the capture of this little girl were all his own decisions.” That person replied, “He messed up my plan. He has already abandoned his son. I will send someone to deliberately leave a clue for Yin Xun to find this person.”
“Aren’t you afraid that he will reveal you?”
“I have the lives of his family.”
“Haha,” Shen Wujie sneered, “Since that’s the case, I know. You can go.”
“What about you?” The other party asked, “Why did you come to Chang’an? Didn’t I tell you to leave the Imperial Capital first to hide from the limelight when you swindled your death?”
“Don’t worry, if one day I get caught by Yin Mu or someone from Fu Li, if you want to kill me, I will definitely not confess to you.”
“I’m not worried about that, I’m worried about your safety!”
“Enough, what are you? You’re not my parents, why are you worried about my safety?” Shen Wujie’s voice was extremely unkind.
“Do you believe that I can turn the Prince’s Mansion of Jinnan into ruins in an instant and make the Prince and wife of Jinnan die without a burial ground?!” The other party was also very angry, and his tone was very excited.
“If you dare touch my parents in the slightest, I will immediately perish with you!” Shen Wujie gritted his teeth and said to him, “Remember, if others are afraid of you, I am not afraid of you!”
“You” The person was so anxious that he didn’t say anything for a long time. He waved his sleeve and turned around to leave.
After he left, Shen Wujie entered the room. Seeing Bai Junzhuo’s panicked expression, he helplessly said, “Did you hear everything?”
Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Who is he?” Bai Junzhuo asked.
“Even if I told you, you don’t know.”
“What if I know?” Bai Junzhuo probed and asked, “What does he look like?”
“He has been wearing a mask since I met him when I was thirteen. I don’t know what he looks like.”
“Really?” Bai Junzhuo seemed to be suspicious and asked, “What does he have to do with you?”
Shen Wujie didn’t want to mention him anymore, so he said to Bai Junzhuo, “I’ll help you decoct the medicine.”
“Shen Wujie!” Bai Junzhuo raised his voice and said, “I have already cooked the medicine. Drink it. Don’t change the subject. Who is he? What are you plotting? Also, he knows who caused this plague, right?”
After a moment of silence, Shen Wujie replied, “I don’t want to say anything.”
Bai Junzhuo’s brows furrowed, and he immediately sat back on the stool with a disappointed expression.
Seeing her like this, Shen Wujie was somewhat reluctant to part with her. He stepped forward and asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “The most painful thing in the world is to only hear half of the secrets. The other half of the secrets are clearly known to others, but they are not willing to tell you. From now on, you will not be able to eat or sleep, and you will read this secret day and night.”
Shen Wujie struggled for a long time and helplessly said, “He’s the one who taught me martial arts.”
“Is that your master?” Bai Junzhuo immediately became excited and said, “Then your relationship should be very good. Why do you feel like enemies when you listen to your words?”
“He’s not my master, he’s just someone who teaches me martial arts. From the age of thirteen, he would go to my room every day to take me to the backyard of the palace to practice martial arts. When I was eighteen, he took me to a place where I met most of the officials in the court. The officials obeyed him and addressed him as lord. He told the officials that I was his son and told them to obey my orders in the future. ”
When Bai Junzhuo heard this, he was somewhat puzzled, “I learned from Yin Xun and the Emperor that the officials of the court are only divided into the Yin clan and the Fu Hou clan. Why did you drag your father into this now?”
“He’s not my father!” Shen Wujie retorted, “I only have one father, the King of Jinnan.”
“Then why did he say you were his son?”
“How should I know!” Shen Wujie was a little impatient. “He is very baffled. In short, just ignore him and treat your eyes properly.”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Bai Junzhuo listened to him as if he was anxious. He hurriedly nodded his head and said, “But I think he did all this for your own good. Those officials all obeyed his orders. He said that you were his son, and others obeyed your orders. Perhaps you are even more powerful than that marquis.”
“Do you know why those officials listen to him?”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “I don’t know, why?”
“He detained his elders’ wives and children to threaten them.”
Bai Junzhuo thought about it carefully and shook his head, “That’s impossible. If the two families still said that if each family threatened their family members, how could he have so many people, nor did he have the time and energy?”
“What do you think?” Shen Wujie asked.
Bai Junzhuo thought for a while and replied, “It must be extortion. He may be the leader of some intelligence agency. He knows that all the ministers in the court are unable to say anything, so he can threaten them.”
After a moment of silence, Shen Wujie nodded and said, “Perhaps, but don’t worry about it. Don’t tell anyone about it to avoid getting into trouble.”
“Alright, I won’t tell anyone.” Bai Junzhuo nodded solemnly and pointed at the table. “But I don’t think he looks like a bad person. He even sent me Wood Spirit Ganoderma.”
Shen Wujie went up and picked up the wooden ganoderma and looked at it. He said to Bai Junzhuo, “Wait a moment, I’ll help you stew this ganoderma.”
“Yes, thank you.” Bai Junzhuo smiled at him.
Shen Wujie looked at her smile and was slightly stunned. He stared at her bright cheeks like stars and moons and asked her, “Is it a good person to treat you better?”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned. He didn’t expect that he would ask such an inexplicable question. She thought for a moment and replied, “At least I’m a good person.”
Shen Wujie’s expression relaxed as he smiled and said, “I understand. You’re welcome.”
With that, he turned around and walked out.
Bai Junzhuo was confused. Did he not take any medicine today?

In the Spiritual Void Palace, Yin Zhixuan ate the golden Buddha Hands and played with the palace maids. To Lu Kang, protecting her was the most leisurely task in months.
Nanny Liu teased her with her pastry and asked her, “Little Princess, do you feel happy that you can eat so much delicious food without your mother?”
“Happy!” Yin Zhixuan nodded and said, “But I still want Mother Concubine to come back. If Mother Concubine comes back, I would rather not eat these things.”
When Nanny Liu heard this, she couldn’t help but sigh, and her face was filled with heartache. Poor little girl, she probably doesn’t know what death is all about.
Yin Zhixuan added, “Moreover, if Mother Concubine doesn’t come, Uncle Grape won’t come. If Uncle Grape doesn’t come, I won’t have any grapes to eat.”
“What?” Nanny Liu revealed a puzzled expression. It seemed that she really did not know about this “Uncle Grape”.
Lu Kang turned his gaze away from Yin Zhixuan and saw a servant eunuch standing beside him. He asked, “Do you know any man who came to look for the princess?”
The little eunuch hurriedly said, “No, the harem has never allowed unfamiliar men to enter or leave.”
Lu Kang nodded. After thinking for a while, he asked, “Will any concubines come over to see the little princess?”
“Previously, other than Imperial Concubine Shu, all the imperial concubines in the palace liked to run to Spirit Void Palace to visit the little princess. However, after that incident, very few people came. Imperial Concubine Shu, who had a very shallow friendship with Imperial Concubine Yu, came a few times to deliver clothes to the little princess.” At this point, the little eunuch lowered his voice and said, “The other empress are afraid of getting into trouble.”
Lu Kang nodded. On the other hand, this Imperial Concubine Shu really had the style of a queen. She did not flatter others when they were in power, but when others were out of power, she gave her charcoal in the snow.
Yin Zhixuan ate half of the Buddha Hand and ran to Lu Kang’s side to hug Lu Kang’s leg. She raised her head and smiled at him strangely and said to him, “Uncle Lu, shall we go see Father Emperor?”
Lu Kang knew that she wanted to see the Ninth Prince, so he picked her up and said, “Alright, let’s go over now.”
The two of them walked out of the Spiritual Void Hall. As soon as they stepped out of the hall, they saw their subordinates rushing over and saying to him, “Lord Lu, those people have been captured.”
