Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Lu Kang Reasoning Show
“Let her go, I admit it, I admit it all!” Wei Yuanyao hurriedly shouted. Seeing Bai Junzhuo’s actions, he went over to embrace Yin Zhixuan and patted her back gently to comfort her, “Don’t cry, Zhixuan. Uncle won’t let them bully you.”

Yin Zhixuan lay on Wei Yuanyao’s shoulder, still unable to stop her tears. Bai Junzhuo heaved a sigh of relief. There was never any scientific reason for blood to drip and recognize a relative. She was truly afraid that Wei Yuanyao would not be able to force him to confess and might even be bitten back by him at that time.

An Juesu looked at Wei Yuanyao in disbelief and asked him, “Lord Wei, what do you mean? Could it be that you and Imperial Concubine Yu really …”

“The Little Princess is the daughter of His Majesty and Imperial Concubine Yu. She was still in Xuchang at that time. Although I would sneak into the palace to see Imperial Concubine Yu, I did not do anything out of line.” Wei Yuanyao had regained his calm and said, “There is no need for blood to drip to recognize a relative. The little princess’s facial features are very similar to His Majesty’s. How could she be the daughter of me and Consort Yu?”

An Juesu heaved a sigh of relief and patted Lu Kang on the shoulder. “I told you, how could Lord Wei do such a disrespectful thing?”

Lu Kang smiled indifferently and emphasized, “Lord Wei also said that it was at that time. What happened afterwards?”

Wei Yuanyao stared at Lu Kang. After a long time, he smiled softly and replied, “Shuang Rao has been floating in the harem for many years, and she is the only concubine of His Majesty who has children. Naturally, she wants to get more. Thus, she came up with the matter of inviting the Evil Buddha to live forever. I advised her, but she did not listen to me.”

An Juesu frowned when he heard this and whispered, “Lord Wei, it’s Consort Yu. How can you call her by her name?”

“Didn’t Lord Wei avoid the main point?” Lu Kang asked aggressively, “Did you and Imperial Concubine Yu ever do anything to His Majesty?”

Wei Yuanyao shook his head. His tone was resolute and unquestionable. “Shuang Rao and I are indeed in love. In the past few years, I have been taking good care of her in the palace because of our relationship. However, I have never crossed the lightning lake. We are innocent!”

When Bai Junzhuo heard this, he asked doubtfully, “You said that you are innocent, then you just shouted that you have all confessed. What did you confess to?”

Wei Yuanyao remained silent. “It’s the plague,” Lu Kang said.

Wei Yuanyao did not deny it. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth to look at Lu Kang and asked him, “Lord Lu insisted that it was me. Other than those two moves that recognized my population, is there any evidence?”

“Not long ago, when I first met Lord Wei in the Taibai Pavilion, I was already suspicious. I only thought that Lord Wei had always been concerned with court politics and his reputation was innocent, so I immediately stopped this thought.”

“Oh? Was it the night I met you drinking with General Hong Yin?” Wei Yuanyao thought for a moment and asked, “What flaw did I have that night that made you suspect me?”

“You said that Chang’an is declining. You can’t sleep at night and worry about the people. But as a civil servant, why don’t you sleep at night and come to the restaurant to worry? Aren’t you afraid of being infected? Afterwards, I remembered that your purpose in Taibai Building was to wait for news of the person who carried your corpse.” The corners of Lu Kang’s mouth curled into a smile as he continued, “Later, I invited you to drink wine. Your eunuch sea has risen and fallen for so many years. No matter how honest you are, you should still understand how officials get along with each other. However, you absolutely refused me because you know that the wine in Taibai Pavilion is brewed from the Yong’an Canal, and even the cups they used were washed by the Yong’an Canal.”

Wei Yuanyao smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that every single word of yours would be filled with schemes. I only concentrated on dealing with the Yin Clan and forgot about you, a good dog that knows the heavens.”

“When I was talking to you, I didn’t have the slightest hint of probing. It was only after you were too exposed that I began to think about this.” Lu Kang continued, “I’ve met you in Taibai Tower many times since then. Presumably, you didn’t just have to contact your subordinates at that time, but because you know that the doctors’ meeting place is Taibai Tower. You need to always inquire about them so that you can know if they have developed a prescription to cure the plague.” Lu Kang explained the clues and then added, “If you still want to argue, go to Taibai Building and ask the shopkeeper.”

Wei Yuanyao did not refute. He nodded and said, “Yes, what you said is correct. What else?”

“Later, Miss Bai was only one step away from coming up with a cure for the plague. Seeing this, you kidnapped Miss Bai and poisoned her eyes. However, you didn’t expect that although Miss Bai’s eyes couldn’t see clearly, she could still vaguely distinguish a person’s figure.” Lu Kang continued, “Miss Bai has never seen you before. She doesn’t even know what you look like, but your body can’t change in a short period of time, thus exposing yourself.”

Hearing this, Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “That’s right. The person who kidnapped me that day did indeed have a different face, but his figure is exactly the same as yours. When I can’t see, the other senses will be very sharp. I can be sure that person is you.”

“You’re right. It’s indeed me.” Wei Yuanyao looked at Bai Junzhuo and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Bai. I had no choice but to do so when I saw that you were about to destroy my entire plan. Fortunately, your eyes have returned to normal.”

“Is this a confession?” Bai Junzhuo asked doubtfully, “I heard you say that day that you did all this to become enemies with the Yin Clan. You absolutely cannot make much noise on your own. There is definitely someone more powerful than you supporting you behind your back. Who is he?”

Wei Yuanyao shook his head and said, “Nobody. Everything is mine. I want to destroy the Yin family and avenge Shuang Rao.”

“Lord Wei, do you know what you’re doing?” An Juesu couldn’t help but speak as he looked anxiously at Wei Yuanyao.

‘”Back then, Shuang Rao and I were in love. Shuang Rao’s father insisted that she marry Yin Mu, who was still the Third Prince. If she hadn’t married him, how could she have changed from a quiet and indifferent young lady to a poisonous woman who chased after fame and fortune?” Wei Yuanyao’s eyes were filled with ridicule. He didn’t know if he was mocking himself or who he was mocking, “If I could marry Shuang Rao back then, why would I be reduced to the eunuch sea? I would never be able to return to this life!”

“Imperial Concubine Yu has deteriorated by herself. What does it have to do with the Yin Clan if she wants to do those things to harm them?” Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but say, “Furthermore, according to what you said, it wasn’t the Emperor that caused you to be killed. Instead, it was Du Shuangrao’s father. He looked down on you as a poor boy, so he wanted his daughter to marry the prince.”

“You’re right. Isn’t he something good? That’s why the first corpse I buried was him.”

“What?” Lu Kang was shocked, “Lord Du did not fall ill when he followed Chang’an, but he was already dead?”

“Yes,” Wei Yuanyao nodded. “He killed Shuang Rao, so I killed him myself.”

“You’re simply insane!” Bai Junzhuo scolded.

“Since you have all confessed, Lord An, quickly send someone to arrest him.” Lu Kang turned around and said to An Juesu.

“Wait! I still have one thing I don’t understand.” An Juesu said, “You said that burying a corpse near the water source would cause a plague. The plague in the city is caused by the corpses. Even if Lord Du is the first corpse you buried, the number is probably far from enough to cause a plague. So, where did the first corpses you buried come from?”

This Lu Kang did not understand and looked at Wei Yuanyao.

“This is indeed related to the emperor,” Bai Junzhuo said first. “The emperor chose to move the capital at the time of the handover of Xia and Qiu Dynasties. The weather became colder and the crowd migrated in large numbers. Many people are uncomfortable with the water and soil and are susceptible to illness, especially the elderly, weak, women and children. I think this is the source of the first batch of corpses.”

Wei Yuanyao looked at Bai Junzhuo with a trace of regret in his eyes. He smiled and said, “If Miss Bai can really be of use to me, then I will definitely be able to plunge the Yin Clan into an abyss of eternal calamity.”

“It’s not just the Yin Clan. The entire people of Chang’an City must be buried with your ridiculous Consort Yu!” Bai Jun glared at him angrily, wishing he could stab him a few times. Why would there always be such a person with an unorthodox outlook in society?

“How can you understand my feelings for her?”

“Fortunately, we don’t understand. If everyone were like you, the Li Kingdom would have been in a sorry state long ago and probably wouldn’t be able to see the shadow of a living person anymore.” Lu Kang said indifferently and shouted, “Someone!”

“I won’t bother you anymore.” Wei Yuanyao said indifferently. Yin Zhixuan had stopped crying in his arms and could not understand their words. He was already lying on his shoulder and asleep. He looked at Yin Zhixuan lovingly as if he were looking at his own daughter, and it took him a long time to hand her over to Bai Junzhuo.

As soon as Bai Junzhuo received it, officers and soldiers swarmed forward and escorted him down.

An Juesu was shocked. After a long time, he regained his senses and said, “I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. At least this morning, when you asked me to call Lord Wei over to play chess, I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

“That’s right. I didn’t expect this to be the case. Since he has already confessed, the Dali Temple and His Majesty will be in charge. Let’s go first.” As Lu Kang spoke, he turned to look at Bai Junzhuo and said, “Miss Bai, we can go now.”

Bai Junzhuo followed him out of the Martial Temple. Outside, Lu Kang took Yin Zhixuan from Bai Junzhuo’s hand. With this movement, the little girl faintly woke up and rubbed her eyes. “Uncle Lu, where’s Uncle Grape?” She asked.

Lu Kang did not answer. Bai Junzhuo went over to pinch her face and said, “Zhixuan did well just now. Big sister will buy you some candy.”

Yin Zhixuan remembered that Bai Junzhuo had grabbed her hand and wanted to prick her with an needle. At this moment, she was still a little scared. She hid in Lu Kang’s arms and nervously looked at Bai Junzhuo.

“Don’t be afraid. I was just teasing you. How could I really prick you?” Bai Junzhuo smiled. He happened to see a sugar gourd seller passing by and called for him to buy a bunch of sugar gourds for Yin Zhixuan.

Yin Zhixuan hesitated and took a bite. Bai Junzhuo asked, “Is it delicious?”

Indeed, it was very sweet and delicious. Yin Zhixuan nodded. Only then did she forgive Bai Junzhuo and said to her, “It’s delicious. I still want to eat candy and pancakes over there!”

Bai Junzhuo turned to look at the baking stall on the side and was about to go buy baking pancakes. Suddenly, a dirty little child came out of the stall and hugged her leg firmly.
