Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Good Zither Music Around Beams
Just as Bai Junzhuo ordered the guards of the Prince’s Mansion of Jinnan to return, they were stopped by a person. Before that person could speak, Bai Junzhuo took the initiative to say, “I knew you would follow me.”

This person was Shen Wujie. He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is my mother alright?”

“With me here, of course your mother will be fine.” “But I told your mother that you weren’t dead,” Bai Junzhuo said.

Shen Wujie frowned, “Why did you tell my mother?”

“Because your mother’s illness is just for your sake. If I don’t tell her, not only will her illness not recover, she may even die.”

Shen Wujie was silent. Bai Junzhuo walked to his side and said, “I want to ask you a favor. Do you want to help me?”

“Help,” Shen Wujie replied without hesitation before asking, “What can I do for you?”

“For some reason, Shen Qing couldn’t stay with Zi Shuo. Lu Kang followed General Hong Yin to the Ancient Fish Kingdom. Only Mo Ying was available to him, but he wanted Mo Ying to protect me.” Bai Junzhuo asked, “So, can you stay by his side and work for him?”

Shen Wujie bitterly smiled, “Zi Shuo? That’s very kind of you.”

Bai Junzhuo blushed and curled his lips. “He is my husband, so naturally I am intimate with him. Besides, didn’t you always call him that? I didn’t blame you for being too intimate with him!”

“I won’t help you with this.” Shen Wujie said, “I still have important things to do. How can I substitute for Shen Qinglu?”

Bai Junzhuo frowned and said, “Why are you like this? You clearly agreed just now! Besides, Shen Qinglu Kang has never been ordered around. They are my master Yin’s right hand men!”

Shen Wujie crossed his chest and said, “What do you need your left and right arms for?”

“Hey!” When Bai Junzhuo heard his words, he endured his anger and said, “Alright, since you are not willing to help me, I will tell Shui Lingyu that you did not die.”

Shen Wujie panicked when he heard this and hurriedly said, “Don’t act recklessly. I treat you well on a normal day. You can’t force me into a dead end!”

Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows, “Then do you want to help?”

Shen Wujie gritted his teeth and looked at her closely for a while. Suddenly, he laughed and walked over to hug her shoulder. “Of course, I have to help. Now that I live in Ninth King’s Mansion, I can follow you all the time. I wonder if you will have a different feeling when you get married.”

Bai Junzhuo stepped on him fiercely and scolded, “Dirty!”

“You only know that I’m dirty now?” Shen Wujie smiled and asked, “Did you know me on your first day?”

Bai Junzhuo raised his leg and kicked him, “What the hell do I know about you? Don’t say I know you, it’s embarrassing!”

Shen Wujie pressed down on her leg and smiled, “It’s getting late. If you don’t go back to Zisu, you should be worried. Let’s go.”

Bai Junzhuo angrily turned around. Just as he was about to take two steps, Shen Wujie followed behind her and grabbed onto her waist. Then, he quickly ran away.

“Shen Wujie!” Bai Junzhuo shouted angrily, “If you take advantage of me again, I’ll knock you out for a minute and castrate you!”

Shen Wujie stopped not far away and smiled at her, “You did come.”

Bai Junzhuo immediately trotted after him.

The two of them chased after him and hit the front of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion. Shen Wujie stopped first. Not long after, Bai Junzhuo caught up and reached out to beat him, but Shen Wujie grabbed his wrist.

Shen Wujie made a silent gesture and said, “Keep your voice down in front of the palace. You go in first, and I’ll change the back door.”

Bai Junzhuo pulled back his hand and snorted. He said, “I’m too lazy to argue with you.” Then, he turned around and strode into the palace.

When Bai Junzhuo entered the study and saw Yin Xun, Shen Wujie had already arrived. He sat on the chair as if nothing had happened and looked at Yin Xun with his legs crossed.

Yin Xun still maintained his unsmiling demeanor as he asked him in an unhappy tone, “What are you doing here?”

Shen Wujie pointed at Bai Junzhuo, who had just walked in. “Your princess asked me to come and protect you.”

“It’s not protection, it’s help!” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said, “I feel that there are not enough people around you, and I happened to save his mother. If I don’t order him around, wouldn’t he owe me a favor?”

When Shen Wujie heard this, he immediately sat up from his chair and pointed at Bai Junzhuo, “Hey! You clearly didn’t say that before!”

Bai Junzhuo looked at him silently. “Although I didn’t say that, I do think so.”

“You …”

“Since that’s the case, you can stay,” Yin Xun interrupted Shen Wujie. “Wujie, Ninth King’s Mansion is much safer than Prince Jin Nan’s Mansion. Stay here obediently.”

“Is that so?” Shen Wujie smiled meaningfully, “Why do I feel that the Ninth Palace is even more turbulent than the Imperial Palace?”

Yin Xun looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then he took Bai Junzhuo and said, “Let’s go back to our room.”

Bai Junzhuo raised his head and smiled at him. His face was full of affection and honey. He nodded slightly and said, “Alright.”

Shen Wujie’s heart was filled with sadness. These two people were truly hateful!

The two of them returned to their rooms. Yin Xun ordered someone to prepare food for them to eat with Bai Junzhuo. After eating, Bai Junzhuo said to him, “I have already found the officials who profited greatly from the purchase of medicinal ingredients. I have asked them to hand over the silver taels that they have been embezzled for the past few years. After that, they will be punished differently according to the level of responsibility.” “You can’t destroy all three races like you said. Otherwise, those who don’t know would think that I’m a cruel official.”

Yin Xun nodded, “It’s up to you.”

“Well,” Bai Junzhuo added, “I think it would be best to change the system of consecutive seats. If a person breaks the law, his family members may not be guilty. They should not be from the three races and the nine races at all times.”

Yin Xun smiled and said, “I don’t care about the law. I’m just a wealthy idle prince. Even the qualifications to deal with my subordinates are obtained by handing over huge amounts of money every year to please the Empress Dowager.”

Bai Junzhuo’s heart ached when he heard the word “huge”. However, she was still the Empress Dowager. If he did not please her, Master Yin would not be able to take over such a monopolistic official industry as salt forging.

Bai Junzhuo raised his chin and said, “The money paid by the imperial physicians is outside of our plan, and the plague in Chang’an has not fully recovered. We can subsidize them with the money for medicine. When the time comes, it will be the medicine from the Bai Clan, the money from the Yin Clan, and we won’t lose anything. We will also win a good reputation.”

Yin Xun reached out to pinch her face and smiled, “The princess really knows how to scheme.”

“Of course!” Bai Junzhuo smiled smugly.

Otherwise, how could she get rich and become the richest woman in the world?

Suddenly, a long and loud zither sound came from outside. Bai Jun Zhuo listened for a moment and praised, “I wonder who is playing the zither at this late hour. It sounds really nice.”

“Sounds good?” Yin Xun seemed to be dissatisfied with the zither music. “Although the zither music was very exquisite, the sound contained boundless desire and ambition. Not only did it ruin a good zither, it also betrayed the bright moon outside the window. This zither master must be inferior.”

Bai Junzhuo looked at him and couldn’t help but say, “Youcanyou, nocanno BB.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You know so well, you must be better than this person outside. Play a song for me.”

Yin Xun immediately called Ju An in and instructed, “Bring me my winding beam.”

Ju An answered. Bai Junzhuo looked curiously at Yin Xun and said, “I heard that the four famous zither, the Bell, the Winding Liang, the Green Qi and the Jiao Wei, should be passed down in the world. Only the Winding Liang should have been destroyed. Is that the legendary Winding Liang you spoke of?”

Yin Xun looked at her in surprise, “You actually know these things. So you also have this kind of elegant feelings.”

Bai Junzhuo glared at him, “This princess has entered the kitchen after leaving the hall. She is proficient in zither, weiqi, calligraphy and painting. She can capture all of the great vulgarity and elegance!”

As he spoke, Ju’an had already brought Zhuo Liang over. Bai Junzhuo looked at the inherited zither and said, “I heard that Zhuo Liang was originally the zither of singer Han’e. She was forced into desperation by the war and could only sing for her life.” Passing by the Yong Gate, he played a tune, and the zither music was like the long cry of a wild goose, circling around the beam for three days without end. After tossing and turning into King Chu’s hands, King Chu loved this zither and played it day by day, ignoring the government. His princess advised him not to do so, so King Chu smashed the beam around him. What’s going on with this one of yours? ”

“The things that happened just now are the same as what you said, but King Chu still loves the zither and did not ruthlessly smash it. Instead, he ordered someone to secretly hide it. A hundred years later, the zither was lost among the people and was finally found by Big Royal Brother. After Second Royal Brother was executed for usurping the throne, the zither fell into my hands.” After Yin Xun finished explaining, he gently placed the zither in front of Bai Junzhuo and said, “Princess, who is proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, play a song and listen to it.”

“Ah?” Bai Junzhuo’s face flushed red.

“Actually, you don’t understand at all, do you?”

“Who says I don’t understand!” Bai Junzhuo placed his hand on the string and lowered his eyebrows, his expression extremely serious.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind to pull one. The ear-piercing sound rang out, and the melodious zither outside suddenly stopped in fright.

The corners of Yin Xun’s mouth twitched as he circled behind Bai Junzhuo. He held her hand in both hands and put it where it should be. He said to her, “If you really don’t know how to say it directly, I can teach you.”

“I” Bai Junzhuo sighed and honestly admitted, “Alright, I just won’t. Since ancient times, there have been shortcomings in talent, and Gongjin Zhuge also made mistakes. This princess can’t play anything.”

“Then dance.”

“…”

Yin Xun chuckled and stopped teasing her. He changed seats with her and casually picked up the song “Tao Yaoyao”: Tao Zhiyaoyao burned with its splendor. The son of Yu Gui, the appropriate room.

To him, Bai Junzhuo was precisely the peach tree of the Yiqi Clan, spotless, slender and refined.

After playing the song, Bai Junzhuo looked at Yin Xun with admiration in his eyes and praised, “Although I don’t understand, it sounds good!”

“If you don’t understand, how do you know that it sounds good?” Yin Xun smiled helplessly. After listening to the zither outside for a while, it sounded again.

Hearing this song, Yin Xun frowned slightly. When Bai Jun saw him like this, he was puzzled, “Why are you suddenly unhappy?”

He did not answer. He called Ju’an and asked, “Ju’an, who is playing the zither outside?”
