Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 153
Chapter 153 Strange Thing Guess Guess Guess
“Ninth Brother, do you know what’s inside?”
Yin Xun shook his head and said to Yin Mu, “The part of my hand that I touched was smooth, cold, curved, and sharp. I don’t know why.”
For some reason, it was clear that he wanted to leave the clue to the next person.
Fu Mingyue sat down under Yin Mu and raised her head to say to the Empress Dowager, “Mother, this concubine also wants to give it a try.”
“Go.” The Empress Dowager nodded at her.
Fu Mingyue also reached in and touched it for a while, then smiled and said, “The place this concubine touched was warm, thin like a rope whip, rough, and seemed to be able to move. This concubine does not know what this is.”
Wu Guda’s face revealed a complacent expression. Seeing this, Yin Che laughed mockingly. He thought about what else could be good in that ghost-poor place of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, so he also went over and reached out to touch it.
With this touch, he couldn’t help but frown slightly. Yin Mu hurriedly asked, “Does Fourth Brother know what this is?”
Yin Che thought for a while, then shook his head and said, “It’s warm. It seems to be short-haired. It’s as thin as a praying fan, and it seems to move.”
“Oh?” Everyone fell into deep thought. Why did the three of them feel different?
Following that, other ministers volunteered to step forward and touch it. However, what they touched was different, and the situation instantly fell into a stalemate.
Yin Mu thought. Suddenly, someone pulled his sleeve. Yin Mu lowered his head. Seeing that it was Yin Zhixuan, he picked her up and whispered, “What’s wrong with Zhixuan?”
“Royal Father, I also want to touch that thing.”
“Do you want to?” Yin Mu felt that it was funny. He patted her little head and was about to speak when the Empress Dowager said, “Let her go. The child doesn’t think too much. Perhaps he can really figure out what it is.”
Yin Mu hesitated for a moment before putting down Yin Zhixuan. Yin Zhixuan ran over and stretched out her small hand to touch it. After touching it, she smiled and said, “Imperial Grandma, Father, Zhixuan knows what’s inside!”
“Oh? What is it?” The Empress Dowager asked her affectionately.
Yin Zhixuan opened her palm and said, “It’s big, round and tall. It’s a big bucket of water!”
Wu Guda laughed loudly and said, “Wrong, it’s not a bucket.”
Yin Zhixuan glared at him when she saw that he was laughing at her. She pouted and said, “What’s there to be proud of? Your Southern Barbarian Empire’s sacred artifacts are still hidden from others every day. Of course, they don’t know what they are. Unlike our Li Kingdom, where there are good things that are distributed to the whole world, our Li Kingdom’s things can be recognized by even children in any country!”
Wu Guda’s smile stiffened as he stared at Yin Zhixuan in astonishment.
Yin Zhixuan made a grimace at him, then quickly ran back to the Empress Dowager’s side and was hugged by the Empress Dowager and sat down on her lap.
The ministers below couldn’t help but laugh when they saw that he had been rushed speechless by a child, but they didn’t dare to laugh out loud because of etiquette.
Bai Junzhuo was also suffocating. He lowered his head and said to Lu Kang beside him, “Actually, I already knew what was inside. However, Master Yin told me not to attract too much attention, otherwise I would have said it out loud.”
“Oh? What is it?” Lu Kang asked curiously.
“Yes” Bai Junzhuo was speaking in a low voice when the Empress Dowager suddenly looked over and asked her, “Does Bai Aiqing seem to have something to say?”
“No, no, I didn’t” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly waved his hand.
“Bai Aiqing, step forward and feel it.” The Empress Dowager smiled at her meaningfully.
Bai Junzhuo didn’t know what to do. He looked at Yin Xun and saw his encouraging gaze. He nodded to her gently before he stood up and said, “No need. I already guessed what it was from everyone’s description just now.”
“Oh? What is it?”
“It’s an elephant.” “The Ninth Prince said that he touched the elephant’s teeth,” Bai Junzhuo said. “Imperial Concubine Shu said that it was as slender as a whip and touched its tail. The Fourth Prince said that it was as thin as a praying fan and touched its ears. The little princess was short and could only touch the elephant’s legs.
The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, “That makes sense. Prince, is what she said right?”
Wu Guda’s ears were as red as fire, and he stared at Bai Junzhuo with a hint of surprise and anger. Then, he coldly snorted and said, “That’s right, it’s an elephant. I lost.”
Immediately after, Wu Guda instructed his subordinates to open the red cloth and open the cage. He said to the Empress Dowager, “I, the Southern Barbarian Empire’s Sacred Elephant, give it to the Empress Dowager of Li Kingdom. I wish the Empress Dowager eternal grace.”
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and the phoenix crown given by the Fourth Prince lightly shook. “This gift is accepted by the Ai Clan.”
“Is the Empress Dowager willing to personally bring this elephant out of its cage to show the Empress Dowager’s master’s might?” Wu Guda pleaded.
The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, then nodded and stood up. Yin Mu hurriedly said, “Mother, it’s inevitable that wild beasts will hurt people. How about …”
“It doesn’t matter.” The Empress Dowager comforted him and walked to the front of the cage.
Just as she stopped and was about to reach out her hand, the elephant raised its head and roared, as if it had received some sort of order to step on the Empress Dowager.
“Empress Dowager!” All the officials cried out in alarm. The Empress Dowager’s eyes widened. Although she was a little scared, she did not panic at all and directly looked at the elephant.
Just as the elephant’s feet were about to land on the back, three people flashed out from the side, one yellow, one black and one white. They kicked the elephant leg away, the white jumped onto the elephant’s head, slashed at the elephant’s neck, and the yellow pulled the Empress Dowager away, bringing the Empress Dowager to a safe place.
No one knew how strong the white-clothed man’s palm was, and it actually caused an enormous elephant to fall straight down. His voice shook the heavens, and dust immediately flew up.
When the dust dissipated, everyone could clearly see that the yellow-clothed man who had taken away the Empress Dowager was Fourth Prince Yin Che, the black-clothed man who had kicked away the elephant leg was the female general Hong Yin, and the one who had subdued the elephant was the unknown leader of the army, Lu Kang.
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the elephant that had been subdued by the two of them for a long time, unable to speak.
“Heh” The Empress Dowager’s demeanor did not diminish in the slightest as she coldly sneered at Wu Guda.
Wu Guda’s face was full of shock as he hurriedly knelt down and said, “Empress Dowager, forgive me. This elephant has always been docile and won’t hurt anyone. I don’t know why she suddenly went crazy and attacked Empress Dowager tonight.”
The Empress Dowager stared at him for a long time, as if she wanted to see through him. Seeing that Wu Guda was sweating profusely, the Empress Dowager turned around and quietly returned to her seat. She said to him as if nothing had happened, “Get up, wild beasts are difficult to tame. The Ai Clan naturally will not blame you for this.”
Wu Guda wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood up.
The Empress Dowager said to Lu Kang, “Lu Aiqing is valiant and fierce. She has saved me. The reward is ten thousand taels. Also, this elephant should be given to you.”
Seeing that the elephant had fallen heavily and was no longer in danger, Lu Kang got down from the elephant and knelt down, “Thank you, Empress Dowager.”
The Empress Dowager opened her mouth to reward Hong Yin and Yin Che. Then, she turned her gaze to Wu Guda and smiled, “Before playing this game, the Prince said that he would agree to a condition if he guessed it. I wonder if it would be considered as a condition?”
Wu Guda hesitated for a moment and nodded, “I can do anything, but it can’t be related to national affairs.”
“Naturally.” The Empress Dowager nodded and looked at Bai Junzhuo. “Bai Aiqing, since you guessed it, you can make the request.”
“Me?” Bai Junzhuo pointed at himself and looked at Yin Xun. Seeing that Yin Xun nodded at her, he thought for a moment. He rolled his eyes and said, “Today is the Empress Dowager’s birthday. Everyone is celebrating. Why don’t the Prince dance for the Empress Dowager?”
When Wu Guda heard this, his eyes almost popped out. His face was filled with unwillingness. Yin Zhixuan clapped her hands and said, “Haha, Zhixuan also wants to watch the dance. If you don’t dance, then you won’t keep your promise. The one who doesn’t keep his promise is the big bear!”
Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and snickered. That’s right, this girl looks like a big bear.
Wu Guda was helpless and took a deep breath. He could only twist his muscular body and dance. A rough man twisted his body into various postures. This scene was too beautiful for a normal person to dare look at.
After Lu Kang packed up the elephant and returned to his seat, Bai Junzhuo whispered to Lu Kang while everyone was intoxicated by the rough man’s dance, “The Fourth Prince is not from the Empress Dowager, is he?”
“No, Master is not from the Empress Dowager.” Lu Kang was a little puzzled and asked, “Why did Miss Bai ask this?”
“Master Yin is not the Empress Dowager’s biological child, but has the Empress Dowager been raised since childhood?” Bai Junzhuo did not answer him and continued to ask.
Lu Kang nodded, “Yes, Master’s mother died from childbirth. Master has been raised beside the Empress Dowager since childhood.”
“What about the Fourth Prince?”
“Fourth Prince’s mother is still alive. Naturally, she was not raised by the Empress Dowager.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and frowned.
“Miss Bai, what are you worried about?” Lu Kang said with concern.
Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment and asked softly, “Yin Xun and the Empress Dowager are definitely closer than the Fourth Prince and the Empress Dowager. It’s understandable that the Emperor Wen Ruo didn’t know martial arts and didn’t sacrifice his life to save the Empress Dowager. However, Yin Xun’s martial arts skills are high, and he just drank calmly and didn’t save the Empress Dowager … Isn’t he fear that the Empress Dowager would have prejudice against him?”
“So I’m worried about Master.” Lu Kang smiled and said, “Miss Bai must not say more. You also know that someone secretly persecuted Master, causing him to be poisoned. Therefore, Master has always pretended not to know martial arts. Everyone in the court also pretended that Master was sick, so they were able to temporarily be safe. Of course, the Empress Dowager will not blame him.”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly understood and nodded. Looking up, Wu Guda danced and was already sweating profusely.
The Empress Dowager hugged Yin Zhixuan and peeled peanuts for her to eat. Yin Zhixuan’s little feet were flapping, and she was eating happily.
Looking down at the Empress Dowager’s legs, Bai Junzhuo was stunned and asked Lu Kang, “Why are the Empress Dowager wearing boots?”
Lu Kang looked at her doubtfully and asked, “Why can’t the Empress Dowager wear boots? It’s normal to wear boots in this weather.”
“Aren’t all the women in the palace supposed to wear embroidered shoes? Furthermore, the texture of these boots is so strange …” Bai Junzhuo frowned, not knowing what to say.
“Miss Bai, what’s wrong?” Lu Kang frowned and asked, “Why have you been so suspicious since just now?”
“The elephant was in the cage just now. There were so many people touching it, but it wasn’t irritable. Why was it so irritable the moment it saw the Empress Dowager?” Bai Junzhuo turned to look at him. “Don’t you find it strange?”
Lu Kang frowned and suddenly said, “Could it be …”
