Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 151
Chapter 151 Birthday Hongmen Banquet
“Ninth Prince, good news, good news!” Zhao Chang shouted loudly as he walked in. He happened to see the two of them making out. He quickly covered his eyes and turned his head. He quickly changed his tone and said, “This servant can’t see. I can’t see anything.”
Yin Xun let go of Bai Junzhuo and said to Changzhao, “Alright, what’s the good news?”
Zhao Chang turned around and said, “Your Majesty has ordered someone to report that Young Master Bai, who is still alive, Zhuge, is willing to return to the capital with Your Majesty!”
“So Brother Huang is coming back?” Yin Xun smiled faintly, “When will we arrive?”
“About three days later.” Zhao Chang replied, then looked at Bai Junzhuo and said to her, “What does Miss Bai need … Snow Lotus Fruit, Empress Dowager has ordered someone to bring it to Chang’an.”
“The Snow Lotus Fruit has also arrived?” Bai Junzhuo quickly took the message and said to Yin Xun, “Since the medicine has arrived, I will leave the palace now.”
Yin Xun nodded, “Go.”
Bai Junzhuo immediately left the palace.
Because she didn’t know if the Snow Lotus Fruit had any effect, she first added a few doses to the Snow Lotus Fruit according to the prescription before and gave it to the seriously ill people to eat. Then, she anxiously waited for all their reactions.
They waited until the middle of the night, but didn’t see any reaction from those people, so they couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable. Yin Xun was worried about her, so he sent someone out to pick her up, so she could only follow him back to the palace.
Bai Junzhuo had been worried about the illness of those people all night. The next morning, he got up, ate two mouthfuls of food and left the palace. As soon as he walked out of the Hanguang Gate, he was stopped by a few doctors.
Bai Junzhuo’s face was filled with worry. He was very afraid that these people would stop her early in the morning to tell her that the people who ate the snow lotus fruit yesterday had died of illness.
She got out of the car and asked them worriedly, “How were the people last night?”
The doctors looked at each other and said in unison, “Congratulations, Miss Bai. Those people who were seriously ill last night have recovered from their illness half an hour ago.”
“Really?” Bai Junzhuo couldn’t hide the excitement in his tone and said to them, “Let’s go over and take a look.”
Not long after, he saw the patients and Bai Junzhuo took their meridians one by one. He saw that their meridians had returned to normal. After examining the rotting spots on their bodies, the wounds that were still pus flowing out last night had already formed scabs, and some new skin had also grown. From this point of view, they will definitely recover in less than half a month.
Bai Junzhuo immediately instructed the patient to eat the recipe with the snow lotus fruit, and immediately returned to the palace. He ordered Yin Xun to seal the Yong’an Canal and not allow the people of Chang’an to use the water from the Yong’an Canal again. According to the self-purification speed of a large canal, the water in the canal would be as clean as before within two to three months.
Two days later, Emperor Yuan returned to Chang’an. At the same time, Grand General Weiyuan and Fourth Prince Yin Che also returned at this time.
Bai Xu hadn’t made any achievements in the court and hadn’t participated in the Imperial Examination. Although the Abyss Emperor had the intention to worship him as a high official, he couldn’t do anything about the opposition and rumors of other parties in the court. He had to first let him be a military advisor beside Yin Che. Fortunately, Bai Xu didn’t mind the level of his position at all.
Half a month later, the epidemic had been completely controlled, and the people of Chang’an had gradually become active. Everything was flourishing.
Bai Jun had made great contributions to the treatment of the epidemic. The rank five Imperial Physician Token that the Empress Dowager had sealed had been upgraded to rank three. Imperial Physicians had no right to rank, so the Yuan Emperor also sealed her as a “Registrar of the Academy” to participate in the government affairs.
Just as the Empress Dowager’s birthday was approaching, Yin Xun saw that the time had come and entered the palace to discuss with Emperor Yuan. Coincidentally, Yin Che was also present, so the three brothers sat down under the pavilion in the imperial garden and spoke.
At this time, autumn was refreshing, chrysanthemum blossoms were dense, and wild geese were constantly flying over the Imperial City. Everything was calm and peaceful.
Yin Xun poured wine for the three of them and asked Yin Mu, “Royal Brother, how did you invite Bai Xu back? Could it be that he really looked at the thatched cottage three times like Liu Xuande?”
Yin Mu smiled and shook his head, “Bai Xu is talented in Zhuge. Without Zhuge Arrogance, he would never test my intentions like Kong Ming did. I only stubbornly beat him for five days, robbed him of his Ramadan and slept in his bed. Then, from Yao Shun to the world, from Buddhism to Qin, weiqi, calligraphy and painting, he felt bored and returned with me.”
Yin Che laughed loudly and said, “Royal Brother’s rogue aura is the same as before. After all these years, no one can resist it.”
Yin Xun also smiled faintly and asked Yin Che, “Brother Fourth Emperor, did you see Cha Jinzhi when you came back from Luoyang?”
“Yes,” Yin Che replied, “I heard him say that General Zou Qi wasn’t dead. I also went to the Bai Manor to see General Zou and explain the misunderstanding back then.”
However, Yin Xun hesitated and said, “But explain again. After all, General Zou has lost his family. I’m afraid he …”
Yin Che heavily hammered the table and coldly said, “The one who killed the prisoners of war that day must be someone from our army. If I find out who this person is, I will expose his entire family for three days!”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yin Mu hurriedly interrupted them and asked, “Tomorrow night, what are you going to give the Empress Mother for her birthday?”
“I shot an elephant cub in the southern border. Its hide was sewn into phoenix boots and its ivory was polished into phoenix crown bones for Mother.” Yin Che replied first, then looked at Yin Mu, “Where’s Royal Brother?”
“I ordered someone to make the Phoenix Spreading Wings Six-sided Jade Embedded Seven Treasures Golden Hairpin. Although it is precious, it is nothing new. Compared to Fourth Brother’s, it is really far from it.” As Yin Mu spoke, he asked Yin Xun, “What about you, Ninth Brother?”
“Two months ago, I asked someone to make a Golden Buddha.”
“It’s just a Golden Buddha?” Yin Che helplessly looked at him, “Ninth Brother, what’s wrong? You actually prepared such an ordinary thing for Mother Empress.”
Yin Mu also found it strange, so he asked, “How big is the Buddha? What Buddha?”
“Twenty-one-foot-tall smiling face.” Yin Xun said indifferently.
Yin Che almost spat out the wine in his mouth. It was twenty-one feet taller than the three strong men. Moreover, he sat cross-legged with a smile on his face. The width was even greater than the height. Such a big Golden Buddha … was indeed rich!
Yin Mu only regained his senses after a long time and smiled as he asked, “Ninth Brother, did you ask Mother Empress for such a big book?”
Yin Xun nodded, “I ask Mother to marry me.”
Yin Mu was stunned and asked, “You want to marry Miss Bai?”
“That’s right.”
“Impossible.” Yin Mu shook his head and said, “Mother wants you to marry the two daughters of the Fu family. If you marry obediently, you can ask Mother to give Miss Bai to you as a concubine. But if you don’t listen to her, she definitely won’t let you marry Miss Bai.”
Yin Xun asked, “Why not? She has already officially become a minister of Shangshu Province, so she is not worthy of a high position as an idle prince like me.”
“Miss Bai? Is that Bai Xu’s sister?” Yin Che asked first.
Yin Mu nodded, “Exactly.”
Yin Che’s black eyes flashed as he asked Yin Mu, “Royal Brother, you came all the way to welcome Bai Xu to the court as an official. Ninth Brother is going to marry his sister again. Could it be that Royal Brother wants to help the Bai Clan up to enrich its wings?”
“The Bai Clan is rare. The previous three generations have nothing to do with the Imperial Court. Even if the royal brother wants to help the Bai Clan up, he will not be able to do so.” Yin Xun replied on his behalf.
“But if Fourth Brother thinks like this, it means that there will still be people in the court who think like this.” Yin Mu looked at Yin Xun and said, “Mother Empress will definitely not let me have the chance to help the Bai Clan, nor will she let Bai Jun burn to marry you, nor will she let Bai Xu occupy an important position.”
Yin Xun frowned. That’s right. If he asked the Empress Dowager to marry him, the Empress Dowager might really think so. At that time, not only would Bai Junzhuo not be able to marry him, but Bai Xu would also not be able to stay in the court.
“However, it’s not that I’m helpless.” Seeing Yin Xun’s worried expression, Yin Mu faintly added.
“What method?” Yin Xun immediately raised his head and asked.
“Mother is so shrewd. She probably already knew that you were in love with Miss Bai. She won’t openly obstruct you. She will definitely secretly think of a way to prevent Miss Bai from marrying you.” Yin Mu smiled faintly and drank a mouthful of wine. Then, he said, “You should also act in secret and do what you need to do. It would be best for Miss Bai to have a child. At that time, even if the Empress Mother does not agree, I will still have the confidence to plead for your sake.”
“Do you really want to do this?” Yin Xun hesitated.
“Otherwise, do you have a better idea?” Yin Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Yin Xun thought for a long time and shook his head.
“Then do as I say. Tomorrow night, do your best. Don’t make Mother unhappy.”
The next night, Jingyang Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, filled with strange flowers that were rarely seen in this season, and the fragrance was seductive; It was decorated with glass lamps everywhere, as brilliant as a crystal palace.
The Emperor’s imperial concubines were pitifully few. They could be counted with one hand, and by this time, they had all arrived. Apart from the imperial concubine, the imperial court officials and their families had already been waiting here.
Originally, the Empress Dowager’s lifespan was limited to the women of the palace, the imperial wife of the court, and the nobles of the imperial palace. But because the empress dowager had been in power for many years, she had summoned ministers like an emperor.
Bai Junzhuo also arrived early and was pulled aside by Fu Mingyue to speak. Only when Fu Mingyue felt that her back was about to be pierced by a line of sight from somewhere did she let go of Bai Junzhuo’s hand and said, “If my eyes could kill, I would have been killed thousands of times by your highness. Hurry up and go, otherwise he would really come and beat me up later.”
Bai Junzhuo turned around and made eye contact with Yin Xun. Yin Xun hurriedly moved his gaze away. Bai Junzhuo was helpless and could only walk to Yin Xun’s side.
Just as she walked over, Yin Xun asked, “What are you talking about with that person for so long?”
“Me and Imperial Concubine Shu?” Bai Junzhuo blinked his eyes. “It’s all a girl’s whisper. Do you want to hear it?”
“No need.” Yin Xun said indifferently, “But she looks smarter than you. Don’t talk too much to her in the future, so as to avoid being tricked by her into doing something bad. At that time, you’ll have to trouble me to save you.”
Bai Junzhuo glared at him. She might not be as smart as Fu Mingyue, but she was not stupid enough to be used as a hoax!
“Take this.” Seeing that no one was paying attention, Yin Xun stuffed a box into Bai Junzhuo’s hand.
“What is this?” Bai Junzhuo asked, puzzled.
