Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Have an Affair with a Noble Imperial Concubine
“Master, this subordinate probably already knows who caused the plague, but we still need one last piece of evidence.”

Yin Xun couldn’t help but be a little surprised as he asked, “Do you already know who it is?”

Lu Kang nodded and said, “Miss Bai is right. It should be Lord Wei Yuanyao.”

“It really is him?” Yin Xun hesitated for a moment before asking, “What evidence do you need?”

“Witness,” Lu Kang paused for a moment before continuing, “Princess Zhixuan.”

Yin Xun didn’t understand. Yin Zhixuan was so small, what could he know?

Just as he was thinking, Bai Junzhuo walked in and happily said to the two of them, “My eyes can already be seen. They are even clearer than before!”

Yin Xun glanced at her. Her eyes regained their usual radiance. He couldn’t help but smile and then said, “I’ll send Eunuch Zhao to Jing Yang Palace to pick up Zhixuan. You go with Lu Kang.”

Bai Junzhuo was stunned and asked, “Where are you going?”

“Explain to Miss Bai on the way.” Lu Kang said.

Not long after, Zhao Chang took Yin Zhixuan back. Lu Kang carried her out of the palace with Bai Junzhuo and rushed to the Martial Temple.

Wei Yuanyao was not imprisoned. When the three of them saw him again, he was sitting under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, playing chess with An Juesu, the young master of the Dali Temple.

On the way, Lu Kang had already told Bai Junzhuo everything he had found. At this moment, Lu Kang glanced at Bai Junzhuo and handed the confused Yin Zhixuan to Bai Junzhuo.

Bai Junzhuo turned around and entered the room next door. Lu Kang walked under the tree and smiled at the two of them, “Good morning, my lords.”

An Juesu looked up at him and smiled, “Lord Lu is also very early.”

“Yes, the epidemic in the city has not stopped yet. How dare we sleep peacefully?” Lu Kang said. He turned to look at Wei Yuanyao and said, “Last night, I went into the palace and talked to His Majesty about Lord Wei. His Majesty said that Lord Wei’s talent is far beyond that of the current examinees. The title of number one scholar is simply not worthy of Lord Wei’s strength.”

Wei Yuanyao hurriedly said, “Your Majesty lifts up your love, and this subject deserves it.”

‘”Lord Wei is being modest.” Lu Kang took out a scroll from his bosom. It was Wei Yuanyao’s scroll from back then. He spread it out on the chessboard and said to him, “You see, Lord Wei wrote less than 500 words in this” On the Wealth of Nations “, but His Majesty has freely corrected more than 1,000 words. It is enough to show the importance His Majesty attaches to Lord Wei.”

Wei Yuanyao was shocked and hurriedly said, “This official is terrified.”

Lu Kang pretended not to know what was wrong with him. He smiled and looked at the paper. Suddenly, he pointed curiously at the head of the paper and said, “Eh, why is the name on this paper Wei Putao?”

“That’s my word.” Wei Yuanyao explained, “In my native tongue, ‘Pu Tao’ is’ Grape ‘. My father was illiterate and gave me the name’ Grape ‘back then. After I went to private school, I changed the name to’ Wei Pu Tao ‘. The name’ Wei Yuanyao ‘was bestowed by my father-in-law.”

Lu Kang nodded and seemed to recall something. Suddenly, he said, “In that case, listening carefully to Imperial Concubine Yu’s accent, it seems to be somewhat similar to Lord Yu’s.”

Wei Yuanyao was shocked. Only then did he realize that Lu Kang was testing him. He didn’t know how to explain it, but An Juesu, who had been standing beside him, suddenly said, “Lord Lu, what is Imperial Consort Tiyu doing?”

“I’m just curious.” Lu Kang smiled and asked Wei Yuanyao, “Lord Wei has been married for more than three years, but he has no children. Why doesn’t Lord Wei take a concubine?”

Seeing Lu Kang ask about this, Wei Yuanyao’s smile faded a little. He suppressed his displeasure and said, “Lord Lu, why are you so curious about me today?”

“I’m just asking.” Lu Kang still smiled faintly.

Wei Yuanyao was a little panicked. He guessed that Lu Kang had found something, so he stood up and said, “Lord Lu, Lord An, Xiaguan still has something to do. Let’s go first.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. Lu Kang said faintly behind him, “Is it going to the upper reaches of the Yong’an Canal to see if there are enough corpses today?”

Wei Yuanyao was shocked and his body stiffened. After a long time, he turned to Lu Kang and said, “I don’t understand what Lord Lu said.”

An Juesu also stood up and said to Lu Kang, “Yes, Master Lu, if you want to explain it, please explain it clearly. Don’t play riddles.”

“A few days ago, I saw two people stealing corpses in the mortuary. They buried their corpses in the upper reaches of the Yong’an Canal. At that time, I didn’t know why they did such a thing. It wasn’t until Miss Bai said that the plague had its source that I suddenly remembered that this should be the source of the plague.” Lu Kang said, “Using corpses to pollute the water source, infected the people who drank the Yong’an canal water.”

“This plague was actually created by humans?” An Juesu’s face was filled with anger as he said, “Who exactly is this? He is so insane that he actually treats the lives of all the people present as trash!”

Lu Kang raised his finger and said to Wei Yuanyao, “Yesterday, we caught two people who stole the corpses. After interrogation, they confessed to Lord Wei.”

Wei Yuanyao calmed down and calmly looked at Lu Kang. He said to him, “Lord Lu, don’t listen to the shameless man’s framing. I was wrongly accused.”

“That’s right, I also feel that it is indeed suspicious for these two people to give up Lord Wei so easily.” Lu Kang smiled and continued, “However, there is another matter that has something to do with Lord Wei.”

Wei Yuanyao did not panic and asked him, “What is it?”

“Lord Wei, do you know that disorderly harem is also a capital offense?”

Wei Yuanyao’s eyes widened as he pointed at Lu Kang and said, “Lord Lu, don’t spout blood! If there’s no evidence, don’t spout nonsense.”

“Indeed, Imperial Concubine Yu is very cautious. She has never left any evidence. Even all the maids and maids of the Spirit Void Palace don’t know that Lord Wei often visits the Imperial Palace.” Lu Kang raised the corner of his mouth and continued, “As for the evidence, it is naturally in Lord Wei’s house.”

“Just what kind of evidence is it? Show us.” An Juesu said anxiously, “Lu Kang, don’t joke too much!”

“I’m not joking,” Lu Kang said. “Last night, I visited Zhuangyuan Manor and found a luxuriant vine in it.”

Hearing this, Wei Yuanyao laughed loudly, “It’s very common to have a vine at home. Lord Lu said that this is evidence?”

“Grandpa’s grape varieties are not ordinary. It is the Cabernet Sauvignon that came from the Western Regions and has a rather saint name.” Lu Kang was not in a hurry and continued, “I also learned from the little princess that there was a man who often went to the Spiritual Void Palace to meet with Consort Yu privately. The thing that Little Princess Feng spoke of was a red grape that was even more delicious than the grapes that the palace paid tribute to.”

Before Wei Yuanyao could refute, An Juesu said on his behalf, “What is there? No matter how precious this item is, there are not a few people in Chang’an who can afford it. Besides, Lord Wei has just moved here from Xuchang, just like us. I’m afraid that the vine in Lord Wei’s mansion is something left behind by the previous Manor Master.”

“But I also found that when wei adult study, the lodging place is changan satrap du adult home, and yu imperial concubine, is the daughter of du adult! Lord Wei’s current residence was the Governor’s Mansion from back then. This person could easily find out with a single question from a nearby resident. However, this was not enough evidence. The real evidence was–“As he spoke, Lu Kang took out a piece of paper and spread it out.” This was written by me on the couch at the root of the tree. ”

An Juesu leaned over and read, “A lifelong engagement is always good, Wei Putao and Du Shuangrao.”

Wei Yuanyao grabbed the paper and tore it into pieces. Then, his expression did not change. He said to him, “You’re right. In the early years, I indeed loved Consort Yu and I. But then she entered the palace to be consort. I took my current wife. We had a very good life, and we never contacted each other again.”

“No further contact?” Lu Kang snorted coldly, “I don’t think you’ve ever severed your relationship. Even Princess Zhixuan might not be His Majesty’s child, right?”

“You’re blabbering nonsense, you actually said such an unfilial thing!” Wei Yuanyao pointed at him, “Lu Kang, what’s your crime for disrespecting His Majesty!”

“I was disrespectful to His Majesty just by telling the truth. So what if you had an affair with Imperial Concubine Shu? If you are innocent, do you dare to admit your marriage to the little princess?” As Lu Kang spoke, he turned around and said, “Miss Bai, bring the little princess out.”

Bai Junzhuo had been listening to them. Hearing this, he immediately pushed open the door and walked out with Yin Zhixuan who had been woken up.

Yin Zhixuan had no idea what these people were doing. She rubbed her eyes and looked at them. Finally, her gaze fell on Wei Yuanyao’s face. She said happily, “Uncle Grape, why don’t you come see Zhixuan? It’s been a long time since Zhixuan has eaten your grapes!”

As soon as Yin Zhixuan said those words, Lu Kang sneered and said, “The princess recognizes you.”

“That only proves that I entered the palace and gave the princess grapes. It doesn’t prove that I have an affair with Imperial Concubine Shu.” Wei Yuanyao remained calm and comforted Yin Zhixuan, “Good girl, Uncle Zhixuan has been busy recently. I’ll come and see you when I’m done.”

“So Lord Wei is going to drip blood to recognize him?” After Lu Kang said this, he called for someone to bring a bowl of water and handed the silver needle to Wei Yuanyao.

Wei Yuanyao’s eyes seemed to hesitate, but he still took the silver needle and stabbed his finger without saying a word.

Lu Kang handed the needle to Bai Junzhuo and motioned for her to poke Yin Zhixuan. Bai Junzhuo placed Yin Zhixuan on the ground and tried to poke her with her small hand. Yin Zhixuan looked at the silver needle and cried out in fright, “Sister, what are you doing?”

“Be good, don’t cry. It’ll be fine in a moment. It won’t hurt.” Bai Junzhuo comforted softly.

“No, I don’t want it, don’t!” Yin Zhixuan cried miserably. She tried her best to retract her hand. Bai Junzhuo held her tightly, causing Yin Zhixuan’s wrist to turn red.

Yin Zhixuan’s heart-wrenching cries echoed throughout the courtyard. Her face turned red as she turned around and shouted, “Uncle Grape, save me. I don’t want to be needled. Quickly save me …”

Wei Yuanyao’s expression was slightly loose, and a trace of reluctance appeared in the depths of his eyes.

“Wuwa … Mother Concubine! I want Mother Concubine, you are all bad people! All of you bully me!” Yin Zhixuan’s tears rolled down her cheeks. It was truly heartbreaking.

Bai Junzhuo sighed. This little girl’s tears really broke people’s hearts. However, she still held her hand tightly. She lifted the needle ruthlessly and was about to stab it. Suddenly, she heard Wei Yuanyao shout,

“Let her go! I admit it, I admit it all!”
