Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 199
Chapter 199 Chu Clan and Fu Clan
“What was the truth back then?” Bai Junzhuo asked.
He pondered for a long time before raising his head and saying, “Actually, you …”
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Junzhuo grabbed his hand and said, “Zisu, what can’t I bear with you?”
He immersed himself in his thoughts and finally said, “Mother did not die because of her postpartum weakness, but because she committed suicide.”
“What?” Bai Junzhuo was shocked, “Didn’t you say that the previous emperor’s favorite concubine was Imperial Concubine Chu? She gave birth to you again, and it was because of the spring breeze that she was proud of herself. Why did she commit suicide?”
Yin Xun sighed deeply and replied, “The Chu Clan was originally the richest merchant clan in the Li Kingdom, and the business in their hands exceeds all that I have today. Grandfather Chu Yao Cen is the truly wealthy country.” Afterwards, when the mother entered the palace, she was extremely pampered. The Chu Clan’s financial resources and the Fu Clan’s rights are all relied on by the previous emperors. Therefore, after my mother gave birth to me, she became the Empress Dowager, the current Empress Dowager. In addition, the previous emperor was afraid of the Fu Clan’s influence, so he intentionally made me the Crown Prince who was still in his infancy. Right at this moment, the Eastern Conquest Army lost the battle. The Fu Clan framed the Chu Clan and said that they were grandfather vendors. The medicinal ingredients they sold were fake, sinful, and bullying the Sovereign. It was only right that the Chu Clan should be executed. Fu Hou sent people to kill a hundred members of the Chu Clan without the consent of the previous emperor. In the harem, the Empress Dowager acted swiftly and imprisoned Mother Concubine. Mother Concubine did not resist. She only wanted the Empress Dowager to treat me well, so she committed suicide by hanging herself. ”
Bai Junzhuo didn’t dare to reveal his anger. This secret was so heavy, how strong would Yin Xun have to be to carry such hatred and live for so long?
Yin Xun paused for a moment before continuing, “My grandfather is not an ordinary person. While entangling with the Fu Clan, he also found out the truth and told the world. In the end, he proved his innocence. However, Mother Concubine has died in vain. The Empress Dowager recorded this in the file in order not to let others know that she forced Mother Concubine to death.”
Suddenly, a cold wind blew outside, causing the windows to crack. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly got up and closed the windows. He sat back down and gently held Yin Xun’s hand and asked, “Is it very painful for a person to endure all this? It doesn’t matter. I will bear it with you in the future. Mother’s revenge must definitely be avenged.”
“Of course, the entire Fu Clan will have to pay the price for what happened back then.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded solemnly and pondered for a moment before asking, “Then what happened to the Chu Clan? Since the Chu Clan did not fall under the Fu Clan’s hands, they should avenge Mother Concubine.”
When Yin Xun heard this question, his eyebrows gradually relaxed. He replied, “When I was six years old, grandfather bought an island. It’s not far from Qingzhou, the place called Yunyou. He took all the business and property of the Chu Family to my name. Then, he brought my grandmother and the Chu Family down to the island to enjoy their freedom.”
Bai Junzhuo was dumbfounded. She thought that she was listening to a brilliant and ups and downs feud between imperial concubines of the palace. How did it end up in a romantic scene of “my grandfather and grandmother go to the island to relax”?
She also caught the main point. Since the symptoms of Yin Xun’s poisoning only appeared when he was six years old, it proved that the Empress Dowager probably knew that Yin Xun was holding a large sum of money in his hand. Therefore, she could not directly kill Yin Xun, but rather, she wanted to control him, so as to control the money in his hands.
No matter what, the atmosphere was lighter. Bai Junzhuo asked half-jokingly, “How can your grandfather rest assured that he left you alone in this abyss?”
“Grandfather entrusted Uncle, Feng Yudie’s father, to take care of me. He also instructed me to let go of my hatred and live on that island if I lose all the money of the Chu Family and still can’t avenge my mother.” Yin Xun grabbed Bai Junzhuo and said to her affectionately, “We’ll go over in the future.”
Bai Junzhuo smiled and nodded, “Alright, it’s just that Mother Concubine’s vengeance must be avenged, and the Empress Dowager has given you this kind of slow treatment in order to control you. The poison must definitely be settled.”
‘”Yes,” Yin Xun nodded. “Actually, I already guessed that the poison in my body is related to the Empress Dowager. However, everyone in my mansion is my confidant. Even if Shen Qing is from the Empress Mother, he is still loyal to me. So, I can’t figure out who is drugging me.”
“By the way, I only remembered when you asked me this.” Bai Junzhuo said, “The poison on your body is a combination of incense and laundry saponins. Your clothes have only been washed by Nurse Huang for so many years, so I suspect that Nurse Huang is the empress dowager’s eyes and ears. She has been keeping an eye on you for the empress dowager.”
Yin Xun frowned slightly. “She treats me as if I were her. How could she want to harm me?”
“In the eyes of outsiders, the Empress Dowager still treats you as if you were herself,” Bai Junzhuo said helplessly, “I know it’s hard for you to believe it, but think carefully. When you went to Luoyang, Nurse Huang was not by your side. Did your poison only attack once when you first went there and never relapsed again?”
“Isn’t that because of the incense?”
“This is just one of them.” Bai Junzhuo pursed his lips and continued, “Have you sent anyone to investigate Nurse Huang’s background over the years?”
“Well done, I naturally won’t send anyone to investigate her.”
“Then let Mo Ying check it out. What if it’s really unexpected?” Bai Junzhuo suggested.
Yin Xun thought about it carefully and nodded, “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
After he finished speaking, Yin Xun called Mo Ying and instructed him. After Mo Ying left, he saw that Bai Junzhuo picked up the file and flipped through it again. He casually said, “Although the records of the Taiyuan Hospital were burned down many years ago, if you want to know the truth of that year, it’s not impossible.”
Bai Junzhuo raised his head and asked, “What can I do?”
“I told you before that the organization that Shen Qing belongs to is called the Shadow Guard Camp. They will immediately grasp all the information in the court. Even if the Empress Dowager destroys the evidence from the Imperial Hospital and the Personnel Hospital, there should still be a backup in the Shadow Guard Camp.”
“But isn’t the Shadow Guard Camp a subordinate organization of the Empress Dowager? They should all listen to the Empress Dowager’s words. Do they still have what the Empress Dowager wants to destroy?”
“The Shadow Guards are loyal to the Empress Dowager because the Empress Dowager controls their families,” Yin Xun said.
Bai Junzhuo suddenly realized, “Since that’s the case, the Shadow Guards are not sincere in their allegiance to the Empress Dowager. In order to survive or protect their families, they would occasionally hide some evidence against the Empress Dowager?”
Yin Xun nodded.
“But,” Bai Junzhuo frowned, “even so, where are we going to find the Shadow Guards who can give us evidence?”
After a moment of silence, Yin Xun said, “Shen Qing.”
Bai Jun was speechless. Based on Shen Qing’s friendship with Yin Xun, perhaps Shen Qing could really find all the records from that year for Bai Junzhuo to read. However, after failing to prevent them from getting married last time, Shen Qing should be locked up by the Empress Dowager. Therefore, there were two questions. One was where to find Shen Qing, and the other was whether he could be rescued even if Shen Qing was found.
Probably a little difficult.
Let’s not talk about this for now. The important thing is to pull out Nurse Huang’s fox tail first. The next afternoon, Mo Ying brought a woman around thirty years old to Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo was wondering who this woman was. Yin Xun asked first, “Who is she?”
Mo Ying replied, “It’s Nurse Huang’s daughter.”
“Nurse Huang’s daughter?” Bai Junzhuo looked at the woman curiously and asked her, “How old are you?”
The woman replied, “Return to the Ninth Princess. One out of thirty women is a commoner.”
Generally speaking, a palace maid who had given birth could not stay in the palace. This woman was in her thirties, and Nurse Huang was still taking care of Yin Xun twenty-five years ago. This was really strange.
Bai Junzhuo asked, “Do you know that your mother committed a crime when she gave birth to you and was still on duty in the palace?”
The woman couldn’t help but be frightened. She hurriedly kowtowed and said, “Ninth Princess, please spare my mother’s life for the sake of my mother serving His Highness for so many years.”
“I didn’t say I was going to punish her either,” Bai Junzhuo said calmly to her. “Let me ask you, do you know why your mother stayed in the palace instead of living with you?”
“My father was a guard in the palace. He secretly gave birth to me with my mother. This was originally a capital crime. It was the Empress Dowager who saved my mother and even sent me out of the palace. She assigned my mother to serve Imperial Concubine Liu back then.” The woman replied.
Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun exchanged a glance, which explained why Nurse Huang had been helping the Empress Dowager in order to remember her kindness. It was estimated that the deaths of Imperial Concubine Liu and the Second Prince were also related to her.
Seeing that Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo were both silent, Mo Ying said, “Master, this subordinate found her at Lord Fu’s Mansion.”
“From the Fu Clan?” Bai Junzhuo glanced at the woman, who was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head.
“No wonder.” Yin Xun calmly accepted the fact that Nurse Huang was a spy and instructed Mo Ying, “Bring Nurse Huang over.”
Mo Ying accepted the order and soon brought Nanny Huang over. When Nanny Huang saw her daughter kneeling in front of the two of them, her expression suddenly changed. She quickly knelt down and said, “May I know why Your Highness, Princess called this old servant over?”
“Nanny Huang, our prince has a hidden illness. Every night when the moon is full, he will be weak and weak. Do you know?” Bai Junzhuo asked calmly.
Nurse Huang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, “This servant doesn’t know.”
Bai Junzhuo slammed the table and said coldly, “How could you not know that you have served His Highness for so many years? I think you are guilty, so you pretended not to know!”
“You are wronged! This servant is wronged!” Nurse Huang repeatedly kowtowed, “This servant has never done anything that is ashamed of His Highness. Why should we talk about guilt?”
“Do you still want to argue?” Bai Junzhuo tossed the Earth Crow Peach out and said coldly, “Did you listen to the Empress Dowager’s orders and wash your highness’s clothes every day?”
“Old, this old servant was the one who washed his highness’s clothes with Earth Crow Peach, but this old servant didn’t know that if it was mixed with incense, it would poison his highness!”
Yin Xun’s expression was indifferent, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
Bai Junzhuo also smiled and said, “Nurse Huang, I didn’t tell you that the Earth Crow Peach needs to be mixed with incense to poison His Highness.”
Nurse Huang was stunned, and the panic in his eyes gradually turned into fear.
“How are you going to argue?” Bai Junzhuo looked at her coldly.
