Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 162
Chapter 162 The Empress Dowager Forced Her to Marry Again
This man’s poisonous tongue was tyrannical, cold, and uninteresting. However, she knew that he was a man that she would rely on for her entire life. She was extremely nervous and nervous.
He raised his head and kissed her lips, as if he was making a final pacification.
But at this moment, an untimely shout came from outside the door, “Ninth Prince, Lord White, Empress Dowager, announce the two of you into the palace.”
Both of them chose to completely ignore him and continue to do what they had to do.
When the people outside saw that there was no reaction, they continued, “Ninth Prince, the Empress Dowager seems to have something very important. Please enter the palace immediately.”
Bai Junzhuo was a little worried. He pushed Yin Xun and said, “The Empress Dowager asked us to enter the palace.”
Yin Xunsheng was interrupted and was in a bad mood. He shouted out coldly, “Get lost.”
The people outside the door were scolded and stopped for a while. “Ninth Prince, the Empress Dowager’s Featherwood Guards have already arrived at the door. If Ninth Prince doesn’t cooperate, we will rush in.”
Yin Xun sneered, “Come in if you don’t want to die.”
Bai Junzhuo listened to the commotion outside and felt really uncomfortable. He did not have the mood to do that anymore. He sat up and said, “Let’s go into the palace. After all, that is the Empress Dowager.”
Yin Xun rubbed his chin against her forehead and said reluctantly, “No, I can’t.”
“Zishu,” Bai Junzhuo gently called out to him, her face flushed red as she whispered, “I believe the Empress Dowager must have called me into the palace to ask me about my escape today. I’ll explain it to her clearly and come back. When that time comes, I’ll return you with a bridal chamber, okay?”
Yin Xun thought for a moment, then sat up and nodded her nose, saying, “You said it. Let’s go.”
After leaving the room, Mo Ying saw that other than the Featherwood Guard, Mo Ying was also guarding the room. He asked him, “Where is Shen Qing?”
“This subordinate hasn’t seen Shen Qing for a day. I wonder where he went.”
“Find him.” Yin Xun lowered his voice, trying his best not to let Bai Junzhuo hear him. He instructed Mo Ying, “Kill him.”
“What?” Mo Ying was shocked, “But Master …”
Yin Xun glanced at him indifferently. Mo Ying could only shut his mouth and answer, “This subordinate accepts the order.”
After giving the order, the two of them went all the way to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager and knelt down to salute.
The Empress Dowager rejected the servants on her left and right, leaving only Nanny Cao to serve by her side. She asked Bai Junzhuo, “What happened to you today, girl? You actually escaped from marriage, making Xun’er the laughingstock of Chang’an City.”
When Bai Junzhuo heard that her tone was not good, he was just thinking about how to explain when Yin Xun said, “Mother, Jun Zhuo’s body is unwell today. He is afraid that he might injure the fetus in his stomach, so he did not pay his respects and did not run away from the marriage.”
The Empress Dowager looked at him lazily and asked, “Is the child okay?”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly nodded and said, “Many thanks to the Empress Dowager for her concern. The fetus in her abdomen is fine.”
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Junzhuo sharply. She said coldly, “She is already three months old, but her stomach is not obvious at all.”
Bai Junzhuo was shocked. She was too careless. She thought that after the Empress Dowager sent many imperial physicians to examine her, she would believe that she was pregnant. Now that she said this, she was obviously doubtful. Could it be that she wanted to find another batch of imperial physicians to take a look?
Yin Xun was not in a hurry. He grabbed Bai Junzhuo’s shoulder and said, “Jun Zhuo has been busy treating disasters and saving people in recent months. He has also lost a lot of weight, so his stomach hasn’t shown.”
The Empress Dowager smiled faintly and said, “If that’s the case, you have to make up for it. Don’t let the child make any mistakes.”
“Yes,” Bai Jun lowered his head and said seriously, “I will obey the Empress Dowager’s instructions. I will definitely taste good and protect the child in my stomach.”
The Empress Dowager seemed to be amused by her and her expression softened a little. She continued, “Since that’s the case, you can’t serve Xun’er in recent months, so the Ai Clan wants Xun’er to marry again …”
“Mother Empress!” Yin Xun interrupted her, “Your son and Jun Zhuo are newly married. How could there be a reason to marry Concubine Xiang now!”
“When did the Ai Clan say that they wanted you to marry a concubine?” The Empress Dowager played with her fingernails as if nothing had happened. She smiled and said, “Moreover, Yun Yue’s identity, how could she be a side concubine?”
“Then what does Mother Empress mean by letting Jun Zhuo be a side concubine?” Yin Xun frowned, “I have said many times that I will not take a second wife in this life.”
Bai Junzhuo secretly looked up at Yin Xun. With his words, he was worth it no matter what.
“The Ai Clan did not say that this girl should be the side concubine. After all, she still has your heir.” The Empress Dowager replied calmly, “The meaning of the Ai Clan is that the two of them are princesses of the first rank. They sit on equal footing, and the Ai Clan is not partial to anyone.”
“Ever since ancient times, there has only been one princess. How can He De, my son, marry two?”
“Ever since the ancient times, there have been one prince, two sided, and four servants. Why are you willing to marry only one?”
“Mother Empress!”
“Enough!” Yin Xun still wanted to argue, but the Empress Dowager suddenly stood up and said coldly, “Xun’er, don’t think that Mother really doesn’t know what happened today. It’s just that the Ai Clan is unwilling to say it out of respect for the royal family and the child in her belly! The Ai Clan has already retreated to this point, so don’t force the Ai Clan!”
Bai Jun was so shocked that cold sweat dripped down his face. The Empress Dowager meant that she already knew what Shen Qing had done to her?
“Mother Empress! Your son …”
“Shut up!” The Empress Dowager scolded him and asked Bai Junzhuo, “Do you agree to Xun’er taking another wife?”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head without thinking, “I don’t want to.”
“You don’t want to?” The Empress Dowager walked down the stairs to Bai Junzhuo. She lowered her head and looked at her, “What qualifications do you have to be unwilling to accept? Could it be that she felt that the Ai Clan favors you so much that she forgot who she really is?”
Bai Junzhuo tried his best not to show any panic on his face. The Empress Dowager looked at the Empress Dowager and said, “Since that’s the case, why would the Empress Dowager ask me?”
“Yes, there’s no need for the Ai Clan to ask you.” The Empress Dowager sneered, “Go back to the palace first.”
Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun exchanged glances. Yin Xun nodded at her. Bai Junzhuo said in horror, “Then this concubine will leave first.”
After saying that, he stood up from the ground and retreated.
After she left, the Empress Dowager raised her hand to Yin Xun and whispered, “Get up as well.”
Yin Xun stood up and waited for the Empress Dowager to speak.
“The Ai Clan knows why that girl escaped today.”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and sneered, “Is that so? It seems that Shen Qing is from the Empress Mother.”
The Empress Dowager’s expression turned slightly bright as she explained, “That’s right, he was sent by the Ai Clan to protect you, but the Ai Clan definitely did not let him do such a thing.”
Yin Xun didn’t seem to believe it. He only sneered and didn’t say anything.
The Empress Dowager said earnestly, “Yun Yue is also a good girl. She has always wanted to marry you and begged the Ai Clan many times. Moreover, Lord Fu has always wanted to show his goodwill to you. You can’t be too willful in reason.”
“Your son said that if you don’t marry, then you won’t marry.”
“Xun’er!” The Empress Dowager sighed and said, “If you don’t follow the Ai Clan, don’t blame the Ai Clan for being merciless and letting Shen Qing go. This girl’s reputation will be …”
Her words were neither swift nor slow, but the threatening intent in her words instantly made Yin Xun very angry. He gritted his teeth and said, “Is Shen Qing here with Mother?”
“That’s right,” the Empress Dowager nodded. “The Ai Clan will not let him off lightly and lock him up. As for what the Ai Clan will do to him next, it will depend on your performance.”
“You …”
He could convince himself that he did not care about this matter, but Bai Junzhuo was only a woman’s house after all, so he might not be able to endure the gossip of others. If the Empress Dowager really wanted to spread the news, Bai Jun would definitely not be able to endure the discussions from the rest of the crowd, and he would find it difficult to stop the crowd.
The Empress Dowager gave him a clear look. As expected, she said something related to Bai Junzhuo, and he was at a loss.
In this round, she had won.
The Empress Dowager leisurely returned to the soft couch and said indifferently, “That girl and you did not pay our respects today, right? Tomorrow, we will marry into the palace together with Yun Yue. The Ai Clan will personally take charge of the marriage.”
“Mother Empress!”
“A consort in exchange for the reputation of your beloved,” the Empress Dowager smiled and looked at him. “You are a businessman. Do you think this deal is a loss or not?”
Yin Xun felt extremely conflicted in his heart. He had promised Bai Junzhuo something, but now he was unable to do it. How do you want to talk to her later? After a long moment of silence, he couldn’t come up with any good ideas.
“Then it’s settled. The Ai Clan is going to rest. You can go back.” After saying that, Nanny Cao immediately stepped forward and helped the Empress Dowager to the back of the bedroom.
After Yin Xun retreated, a woman walked out of the corner of the hall. She stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager and called out softly, “Auntie.”
The Empress Dowager smiled lightly and sighed, “The Ai Clan has broken their hearts for you, and finally forced Xun’er to marry you.”
Fu Yunyue pouted her lips and said, “Auntie, why do you have to do this? The next decree is to burn that White Lord to someone else.”
“Do you think the Ai Clan hasn’t done it? The Ai Clan gave her to the Prince of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom a few days ago, but she happened to be pregnant with Xun’er’s child. The Ai Clan can’t let her marry someone else with the grandson of the Ai Clan, right?”
Fu Yunyue muttered, “This child came at such a coincidence. Auntie, don’t be tricked.”
“Don’t tell me the Ai Clan still needs your reminder? That day, they sent a confidant doctor over to take her pulse and confirm that it was true before agreeing to her marrying Xun’er.” The Empress Dowager patted Fu Yunyue’s hand and said, “Your appearance is not inferior to hers at all, and you have the Ai Clan and your father to rely on. And she is only a lonely person in Chang’an. After marrying into the palace, it will be better to win the favor of the Nine Kings. One day, this imperial concubine’s seat will be yours alone.”
Fu Yunyue said confidently, “Auntie, don’t worry. Yunyue understands. No matter how high that girl from the countryside climbs, she still can’t stand on the stage. How can she compare to me?”
“Look, just as you finished speaking, you revealed your true nature.” The Empress Dowager advised, “Put away your unruly temper and learn more from your sister. Look at Mingyue. She behaves like a woman of the Fu Clan. Now that she is pregnant with the Emperor’s heir, sooner or later, the throne of the Empress will belong to her.”
Hearing the Empress Dowager’s words, Fu Yunyue frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, “Speaking of Sister Mingyue, I remember something important …”
