Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 186
Chapter 186 Prince Chen Cang Expressed His Goodwill
“Miraculous doctor of the Li Kingdom, may I ask if your country has such a miraculous painkiller?”
Bai Junzhuo was still staring at the man’s bleeding wound. He did not hear the messenger talking to her at all.
Yin Mu couldn’t help but say, “Bai Aiqing.”
Bai Junzhuo suddenly regained his senses and asked Yin Mu, “Do you have any painkillers? The Li Kingdom has a lot of land and resources, so how could there be no painkillers?”
“Then take it out and compete with them.”
Bai Junzhuo was in a bit of a dilemma. How could this be compared? Could it be that he had made another cut on that person’s body? This person had already taken the messenger’s medicine. If he was not mistaken, this medicine should have an anesthetic effect. In that case, no matter how many cuts she had, this person wouldn’t feel any pain. However, if it was someone else, the pain threshold would be different, and there was no comparison.
Just as he was hesitating, someone suddenly said, “Your Majesty, the person who was cut is one of theirs. It hurts if you say it hurts, but it doesn’t hurt if you say it doesn’t. What if they join forces to deceive us?”
The voice was strong and sturdy, and he had never heard of it before. Bai Junzhuo turned around and saw a tall middle-aged man taking two steps forward and looking up at Yin Mu.
The place where he stood was the position where the vassal king stood, and it was also on the left side of King Jinnan. It must be the legendary King Chencang.
When he spoke at this moment, he didn’t think that she couldn’t win against them, so he came out to help him out, right? However, he was wrong. The person who said that it didn’t hurt should really not hurt. Otherwise, there would be no one standing there bleeding and listening to them as if nothing had happened.
The messenger mocked, “I knew you would say that. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you send someone from the Kingdom of Li to try my medicine?”
“There’s no need. The messenger’s medicine definitely has a miraculous analgesic effect.” Bai Junzhuo said. He looked at the man’s bleeding arm with concern and said, “But if you don’t stop the bleeding, then a person will die from such a big wound! Your Majesty, can I stop the bleeding for him first?”
Yin Mu nodded. Bai Junzhuo immediately went up to wipe off the powder and bandage him carefully. However, the messenger behind him said unwaveringly, “If you want to bandage up the wounded soldiers on the battlefield and get taken advantage of by the enemy, then the entire army will be annihilated.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned and turned to look at him, “Don’t tell me you mean that the injured soldiers don’t care about him, just let him fight to the death?”
The messenger replied, “Soldiers have to contribute all their strength to ensure victory in battle.”
“Could it be that victory is the most important thing in a war? War is evil. If victory in a battle requires sacrificing the lives of those who can survive, then this war is not only evil, but meaningless as well?” Bai Junzhuo said tit-for-tat.
“I’m not here to discuss the meaning of the war with the divine physician of the Kingdom of Li, but to consult your medical skills. May I ask the divine physician of the Kingdom of Li, do you have any painkillers that can defeat this medicine in my hands?” The envoy said. “I’m not here to discuss the meaning of the war with the divine physician of the Kingdom of Li.”
“Yes, of course.” Bai Junzhuo replied, “But I didn’t know that the messenger was going to compete with me today, so I didn’t bring it. Please allow me to bring it back tomorrow, Your Majesty.”
Yin Mu looked at the messenger and said, “Is the messenger willing to wait another day?”
“One day, one day.” The messenger snorted coldly, “Even if I give you a year, you won’t be able to develop such a miraculous medicine.”
Yin Mu nodded and said, “Alright, then let’s compete tomorrow.”
After they dispersed, the ministers dispersed. Bai Junzhuo stood outside the main hall and waited for a while. Seeing the middle-aged man who had just spoken for him in the hall walk out, he hurriedly greeted him and said, “King Chencang, stop.”
Chen Cangwang stopped and asked, “What can I do for you, Lord Bai?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me out just now. I am extremely grateful.”
King Chencang smiled indifferently and said, “If you really did relieve the encirclement, then this king will naturally accept it without any courtesy. However, Lord Bai clearly relieved the encirclement by himself just now, so there is no need to thank this king.”
Bai Junzhuo originally thought that a person who could give birth to a daughter like Shui Lingyu would be very overbearing and unreasonable, but he didn’t expect his attitude to be so kind. She was about to answer when someone snorted coldly and walked past her.
Bai Junzhuo turned around and saw that it was Carpinus subdued.
The two of them tacitly kept their mouths shut. After Fu Li left, King Chencang said, “If it wasn’t for Lord Bai being pregnant and being unable to go to court every day, Lord Fu would definitely not let Lord Bai off so easily.”
Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “Although Lord Fu’s beloved daughter did not die because of Xiaoguan, Lord Fu still wants to blame Xiaoguan for this matter. Xiaoguan is truly wronged!”
King Chencang chuckled and said, “Lord Bai, you don’t have to take it too seriously. Although the Ninth Prince is only in an empty position in the court, he is still an important figure in the entire Li Kingdom. I’m sure the Ninth Prince won’t let Lord Bai get hurt.”
Bai Junzhuo chuckled and said unintentionally, “That’s right, but if King Chencang can stand by our side, then Xiaguan won’t have to be afraid of being dealt with.”
Chen Cang Wang laughed loudly and said, “I heard that Lord Bai is exceptionally intelligent and has a far-sighted gaze. These words have truly touched this king’s heart. I just don’t know if this is just Lord Bai’s meaning, or the meaning shared by the Ninth Prince and Lord Bai?”
“What? Chen Cangwang only remembers that Xiaoguan is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Shangshu Province and the Imperial Physician’s Token, but he doesn’t remember that Xiaoguan is the Ninth Princess?”
“Yes, of course I do.” Chen Cangwang seemed to be very happy as he said, “If the Japanese King were to change, he would definitely visit the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Princess. But now, the Ninth Princess must properly prepare for tomorrow’s competition.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “Xiaguan will definitely live up to His Majesty’s trust. Naturally, he will not embarrass the Li Kingdom.”
The carriage in the palace sent Bai Junzhuo back to Ninth King’s Mansion. Not long after, Yin Xun also came back from the outside. He saw Bai Junzhuo and asked, “Did you go to court just now?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and told Yin Xun what had happened today.
When Yin Xun heard this, he saw that she was a little worried and asked, “What’s wrong? You don’t have the confidence to defeat him?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded his head, “To be honest, I also have many kinds of painkillers that have immediate effects, but this is the first time I’ve seen them digest and absorb them immediately after eating them like this, and they even make people bleed and feel no pain at all.”
Bai Junzhuo did not say anything. After thinking for a while, he looked at Mo Ying behind Yin Xun and said, “Mo Ying, can you go to the embassy and steal the medicine from the messenger? Let me see what it is made of.”
Mo Ying accepted the order and immediately turned around to leave.
After Mo Ying left, Bai Junzhuo gently grabbed Yin Xun’s hand and raised his head to look at him. “Zisu, you seem to be very busy recently. Is something wrong?”
“It’s about the Chamber of Commerce,” Yin Xun replied. “The merchants of the Heavenly Kingdom brought a batch of medicinal ingredients over. The price was expensive, but for some reason, they bought it very well. So the merchants there raised the price again. The Chamber of Commerce did not know if they should continue to sell it, so they asked for my opinion.”
According to the little historical knowledge Bai Junzhuo had learned, the “Chamber of Commerce” seemed to have only begun to take shape in the Ming Dynasty. In Chinese history, the Chamber of Commerce seemed to have spontaneously joined forces with merchants, and this side seemed to be under the overall control of the royal family.
In addition, she had never heard of the Heavenly Kingdom, but she had heard of the “Arabian Nights”. Could it be that the “Heavenly Kingdom” here also referred to Arabia?
Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen you personally take action.”
Yin Xun flirted with her and said, “What, do you think I only know how to bribe people? You underestimate your husband.”
“Right, right, you’re the best.” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly nodded his head and continued to ask, “What kind of medicine is that from Arabia that is so powerful? Doesn’t the Li Kingdom have to import it from there?”
Yin Xun naturally ignored the part of her words that he couldn’t understand. He only picked up what he could understand and answered her, “Because it’s just been passed over, and he hasn’t started to study how to grow it.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “When I’m done with this ancient Roman messenger, I’ll go take a look at this Arabic divine medicine. Our Bai family still has a medicinal field in Shouchun. If it’s suitable, we can let that medicinal field try this medicine first, grow seeds in the next year, and then spread it throughout the territory of Li Kingdom, so that we don’t have to import other people’s medicine.”
Yin Xun smiled and said, “It’s up to you.”
After the two of them talked for a while, Mo Ying returned with the medicine.
Although Mo Ying was rectal, he was still very quick. He handed the small box containing the medicine to Bai Junzhuo and said, “Your Highness, Princess, when this subordinate stole the medicine, I heard those people talking about something. It doesn’t seem like a good thing. This subordinate was worried that they would cheat the Princess, so I tied him up and interrogated him.”
Bai Junzhuo asked curiously, “Did they say anything?”
Mo Ying nodded and said, “This subordinate inquired about the name of this medicine, ‘Diyejia’. It was Emperor Fulin who wanted to pay tribute to His Majesty. That envoy was called Augustus. He was originally the number one Sacred Hand of Fulin. He didn’t want to give the medicine to His Majesty so easily. That’s why he came up with the method for the competition.”
After he finished speaking, Bai Junzhuo looked up at Yin Xun and saw Yin Xun knocking on the table. Normally, he would suspect something by doing this.
Bai Junzhuo did not interrupt his thoughts. A moment later, Yin Xun said, “How could things be so simple? This Augustus has come to provoke us regardless of their king’s intentions. It is estimated that he has either the intention to usurp the throne of the Kingdom of Fulin or the intention to assassinate Royal Brother.”
Bai Junzhuo frowned. It was indeed wrong for an envoy to disobey the monarch’s wishes. Moreover, she understood that because of the Senate election system, it was not uncommon for the emperors of the ancient Roman Empire to be usurped by their trusted aides. But so what? The Imperial Clan was already overwhelmed by the current situation of Li Country’s consorts in power. Could it be that they still had to travel to Europe to help them?
After thinking about it, Bai Junzhuo said, “Who cares? If he wants to usurp the throne, just go back and usurp the throne. If he wants to murder His Majesty, we will definitely not let him leave Li Country alive. The most important thing is to see how miraculous this Diyega is.”
As he spoke, Bai Junzhuo opened the lid of the box and gently waved his hand over the box, smelling its smell.
Corydalis yanhusuo, white peony, golden bell, and …
Bai Junzhuo frowned.
