Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 188
Chapter 188 The Rice Sack Flower Mystery
Augustus looked at his fallen soldiers in disbelief and asked in disbelief, “How, how is this possible?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “Look, our soldiers are inferior to you, but they still won the match. It can only be said that the medicine I gave them is better than the medicine you used.”
Augustus insisted, “Impossible! There is no better painkiller in the world than me!”
“You are too ignorant. Do you think that your king sent you to the east of our Li Kingdom just to let you show off?” Bai Junzhuo said, “Don’t think that I don’t know what painkillers you’ve prepared. We also have that kind of herb in our country. After using it, you won’t feel any pain, but it also has a certain hallucinatory effect. It makes people’s minds unclear, and they just know Man Chong.” “Don’t you think it’s fine if you don’t feel the pain of marching into battle? Look at your soldiers. If their injuries are not treated, they will die!”
The corners of Augustus’ lips twitched as he said for a long time, “Pain is the worst thing on a person’s body. My medicine may not be suitable for war, but it can make a person feel no pain and make a person more perfect!”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head helplessly and said, “Since people can feel pain, then pain is an integral part of the human body.” It is a vigilance of people’s bodies. You feel pain in your body, so you know that something is wrong with your body. If people really don’t feel pain, they don’t anticipate the disease. Do you think it’s better to be alert to pain, or to wait for death peacefully? ”
Augustus raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Junzhuo angrily. Bai Junzhuo did not avoid his gaze and looked at him directly.
After looking at each other for a long time, Augustus sighed and bowed deeply to Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo respectfully bowed and smiled.
After admitting defeat, Augustus showed some respect to Yin Mu. After asking him to bring his men down to treat his injuries, Hong Yin and the others walked to the front of the hall. Yin Mu smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Hong Yin cupped her hands and said, “Your Majesty is serious.”
“It’s just that everyone seems to be overwhelmed this morning, but it really makes me grip my heart tightly. I didn’t expect that after being injured, it would become even more powerful than before.” Yin Mu looked at Bai Junzhuo and said, “Bai Aiqing’s medical skills really stunned me.”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “No, no. It’s not that my medicine is powerful, but the soldiers themselves.”
“Indeed, it’s not because of the Ninth Princess’ medical skills. However, it’s also because the Ninth Princess was smart.” Lu Kang smiled and said, “We listened to the Ninth Princess and retained our strength in the first round to figure out the other party’s moves. However, the other party felt that we were weak in the first round, so they dropped their guard. Winning this match was expected.”
“And yesterday in the court, I discovered that Augustus did not treat his soldiers like humans. I had expected that he would only give them painkillers, not replenish their stamina or even stop their bleeding.” Bai Junzhuo continued, “Their soldiers can’t keep up with their physical strength, and their brains are still unclear because they used drugs. Of course, they will lose.”
Yin Mu laughed out loud and said it was exciting. Then, he rewarded everyone.

After the matter was over, it was already late when he returned to Ninth King’s Mansion, and Yin Xun hadn’t returned yet. Bai Junzhuo waited for him while reading in his room.
However, before Yin Xun could arrive, Xingzi ran in panicked and said to her out of breath, “Little Miss … hurry up and see Ju An. She, she seems …”
Bai Junzhuo put down the book in his hand and asked, “Speak slowly. What happened to Ju An?”
“Ju An is crazy! She has been talking nonsense, go and see her!”
Bai Junzhuo frowned and hurriedly went to Ju An’s place.
She pushed open the door and saw Ju An sitting at the table alone. She said to the air in front of her, “Do you think our princess is pregnant with a boy or a girl?” I think it’s a boy. Didn’t you see the princess eat sour plums every day? Everyone said she was sour and hot. What? Oh, that’s right. The princess also likes spicy food. Ah, could it be that our princess is pregnant with a phoenix and dragon embryo “Hehe, this is good. After the princess gives birth, His Highness will definitely let the two of us take care of the princess’ child. Take care of the younger one, and I’ll take care of the older one.”
The more Ju An said, the more excited he became. He even stretched out his hand and said to the air in front of him, “What do you think, Siwei?”
Xing Zi looked at her nervously and whispered to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss, do you think Ju An saw a ghost that was thinking of danger?”
“Why are there ghosts in this world?” Bai Jun patted her hand and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. I guess Ju An missed Siwei so much that he hallucinated. How long has she been like this?”
‘”Ju An is not in a good mood these past few days. He is resting alone in his room. This servant wanted to come over this afternoon to see if she is well, but saw her like this. No matter how this servant talks to her, she ignores this servant. This servant pushes her, she does not react. She has been talking to … Siwei.” The more Xingzi spoke, the softer his voice became. He said in fear, “Miss, do you think Ju An would …”
Bai Junzhuo did not answer her. He stepped forward and looked at Ju An carefully. He saw that her complexion was rosy, her eyes were full of spirit, and she did not look sick. He waved his hand in front of her again, but did not see any reaction from her.
Did she really go crazy because she couldn’t stand the thought of dying?
Impossible. Generally speaking, only those with paranoid personality, poor thinking and weak will can’t withstand the blow of the death of their friends and relatives and become mad. As for Ju An, she was always lively and cheerful. Logically speaking, it wouldn’t be long before she could see through it.
Bai Junzhuo was puzzled. He reached out to probe Ju An’s pulse, but Ju An unconsciously pushed him away. Xingzi hurriedly supported Bai Junzhuo and said, “Miss, it’s better for you not to get close to her so easily. She’s so scary now. She doesn’t know you at all and will hurt you.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded. Looking at Ju An’s appearance, the Cold Food Powder that was popular in Luoyang City once again appeared in his mind. No matter how Ju An looked at it, it was as if he had been hit by Cold Food Powder.
She anxiously asked Xing Zi, “Xing Zi, did you mention what medicine Ju An has been taking recently?”
“Yes,” Xing Zi nodded. “Ju An often slept badly after Siwei died, so he took some medicine.”
“What kind of medicine is it?”
Xingzi scratched his head and thought for a moment. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. It was bought outside by Ju An. It is said that the medicine is very effective and the city is not bad. This servant will go find it for the young miss to take a look.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, and Xingzi immediately went down to look for him. Not long after, he brought over a packet of medicinal residue and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Miss, this servant did not find the medicine, but found the medicinal residue that she used up.”
Bai Junzhuo took the medicinal residue and rubbed it away, leaving behind a small black honeycomb-shaped pill in his hand.
It’s poppy.
Bai Junzhuo was stunned. The medicine that Augustus had brought was at least the ingredient of the poppy, and there were many other medicines added to it. And Ju An only used poppy! It would be weird if he didn’t go crazy with such a large amount of poppies!
Bai Junzhuo gritted his teeth and asked, “Do you know where she bought this medicine?”
Xing Zi shook his head repeatedly, “I don’t know.”
Bai Junzhuo pinched the medicinal residue in his hand and walked around Ju An. He instructed, “Xingzi, get someone to tie Ju An up. When she wakes up, she’ll come and find me.”
“Tie, tie it up?” Xingzi looked at Bai Junzhuo in surprise, then nodded and said, “Alright, this servant will tie Ju An up now.”
When Xingzi went down to call for help, Bai Junzhuo took the medicine residue back to his room. At this moment, Yin Xun had just returned from the outside and was holding a box in his hand.
Yin Xun looked at her with a smile and said to her, “Did everything go smoothly in the court today? I’ve already heard from Royal Brother.”
Bai Junzhuo forced a smile and nodded.
Seeing her like this, Yin Xun asked with concern, “What happened again?”
“It’s Ju’an,” Bai Junzhuo said, gripping the medicinal residue in his hand tightly. “And the moment this medicine appears, I’m afraid Ju’an won’t be the only one to suffer.”
“What? What happened to Ju An?”
Bai Junzhuo handed the medicine in his hand to Yin Xun and said, “She ate this.”
Yin Xun looked at the medicinal residue and asked, “Rice bag?”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him in surprise, “You know him?”
Yin Xun nodded and said, “This is the medicinal ingredient that the Chamber of Commerce is discussing recently. It came from the heavens. The doctors in the Chamber of Commerce said that this flower can nourish the stomach and regulate the lungs. It can diuresis the mouth. Miao Kanchun vegetables are really like autumn valleys, eating a millet. They are happy to forget their worries.”
“It’s the poppy I told you about yesterday. It does have the effect you said, but its disadvantages are no less than the Cold Food Powder.” Bai Junzhuo looked at him worriedly, “Do you want to see what Ju An is like now?”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and shook his head, “No need. Since you said that this medicine is as harmful to the people as Han Shi San, I will instruct the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to prohibit the purchase of this batch of medicine from the Heavens.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head repeatedly, “It’s not that we can’t bring it in. It has its uses, but we can’t sell it so casually.” Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment and then said, “All you need to do is prohibit the free trade of the people. Sell it and let it be personally controlled by the royal family like salt and coal.”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright.”
However, Bai Junzhuo said worriedly, “But if that’s the case, won’t others say that you’re too powerful and don’t want to bring them along to earn money?”
“Who dares?” Yin Xun smiled.
“We also need to let them know that monopolizing rice bags is not to earn money, but to protect the people.” “Perhaps there’s a better solution, but I haven’t thought of it yet. Otherwise … Zisu, take me to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow!” Bai Junzhuo said with his chin held high.
Yin Xun held her hand and said, “But I want you to rest assured and nurture your baby. You can enter the Chamber of Commerce after the baby is born.”
Bai Junzhuo said coquettishly, “The plan can’t keep up with the changes. If I don’t solve the rice bag issue properly, my heart will be uneasy and it won’t be conducive to my safe pregnancy.”
Yin Xun was helpless, so he smiled and agreed.
Bai Junzhuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, he should go to the Chamber of Commerce first.
So he held his hand and looked at the wooden box on the table. He asked curiously, “What is that?”
