Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 202
Chapter 202 A Peculiar Disease
Not many days will be the New Year, Chang’an City’s alleys are filled with festive warmth. Yin Xun remembered that he had something important to do when he left the palace so late, but he couldn’t remember it as he walked.
He gently tapped his head. Perhaps he was really sick.
After wandering aimlessly for a while, he vaguely heard someone behind him calling him, “Yin Xun!”
Yin Xun turned around and saw Hong Yin, who was wearing a long cotton-padded jacket, walking over with a pot of wine in her hand. When she arrived beside Yin Xun, she smiled and asked, “You brat didn’t even come when I got married. Are you feeling sorry for yourself? Did you come to see me today specifically?”
Yin Xun shook his head.
“Oh?” Hong Yin didn’t seem to believe it. She pointed to the front and said, “If you go any further, you’ll be at my mansion. Where are you going instead of coming to me?”
“Is that so?” Yin Xun looked in the direction of her finger. He was really close to her house.
“Whether you are or not, since you are here, you should stay for dinner before leaving.” Hong Yin carelessly hugged Yin Xun and pulled him into the General’s Mansion.
After bringing Yin Xun to the front hall, Hong Yin went down to cook for herself. Lu Kang saw Yin Xun coming over and was both surprised and happy, “Your Highness, why are you here?”
Yin Xun looked at him for a while and said helplessly, “I don’t know why I’m here.”
“Huh?” Lu Kang thought it was strange and looked at Yin Xun carefully. He had followed Yin Xun for a long time, and he could roughly guess what kind of performance Yin Xun had and what he wanted to do.
Lu Kang thought for a while and asked, “Master, what’s wrong with you?”
“I don’t know,” Yin Xun shook his head and frowned. “I seem to be sick.”
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Lu Kang immediately retreated from all the servants. He looked at him with a complicated expression and said, “Master, did something happen during this period of time?”
“It seems like a lot of things have happened,” Yin Xun said in a faint voice. “There are always people who want to harm Jun Zhuo. I want to protect her, but I don’t want her to get involved in Brother Huang’s plan to seize power, so I secretly did a lot of things without her knowing.”
Lu Kang looked at Yin Xun and thought for a while. He was stunned and said, “Those who want to harm the princess are just small characters. I believe the princess can deal with them herself.” More and more powerful ones were probably going to deal with their master. “Judging from Master’s current appearance, I guess the Empress Dowager has already done something … No, the Empress Dowager was trying to control Master by poisoning her earlier. Because of Miss Bai’s appearance, the Empress Dowager was worried that she would cure Master’s poison, so she changed the way she dealt with Master.”
Yin Xun remained silent. Lu Kang asked again, “Is master lacking in memory or consciousness?”
Yin Xun replied, “My memory is indeed missing, but my mind seems to be normal.”
“This subordinate doesn’t know anything about medicine, but I feel that Master seems to be poisoned.” “Didn’t the princess notice?” Lu Kang asked seriously.
“Naturally, she noticed it, but she didn’t seem to feel that it was a symptom of poisoning.”
“Then Master is so well-behaved. How could he suddenly look like this?”
Yin Xun lowered his head as if he was thinking of something. A moment later, he said, “If one day, I forget about her …”
“Master, don’t worry too much. This subordinate feels that with the princess’ medical skills, she will definitely cure Master.”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and whispered, “If I don’t cooperate with Brother Huang in completing his plan and lose all my memories, and she can’t cure me during this period of time, I’m afraid she’ll have to do what I haven’t done for me. She’ll still be involved in this matter.”
“But when Master chose her, didn’t he just feel that she was capable of bearing all of this?” Lu Kang’s voice was deep, but every word was clear to his ears, “The princess is not a canary that needs to be protected by Master all the time. She is an eagle that can help Master share his worries, just like us.”
Hearing Lu Kang’s words, Yin Xun actually revealed a slight smile. He nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Lu Kang also laughed, “The princess was sent to the master after being tested many times by her subordinates. Compared to Shen Qing and Mo Ying, she is only inferior.”
Upon mentioning Shen Qing, Lu Kang immediately reacted and quickly stopped talking.
Yin Xun suddenly remembered something and said to Lu Kang, “Oh right, I need to investigate the real cause of death of the Second Prince and Concubine Liu more than 20 years ago. All the records of that year have been destroyed by the Empress Dowager. Only the Shadow Guard Camp may have a backup. Therefore, I need to rescue Shen Qing and ask him to give me the backup files.”
“Save Shen Qing?” “But Shen Qing betrayed Master …” Lu Kang was shocked.
“He didn’t betray me.”
Lu Kang asked suspiciously, “Could it be that Master has forgotten about this?”
Yin Xun shook his head. “The things that happened during the few days when I married the princess were first lost and recovered. I still remember the feeling of being pulled up from the abyss after entering the abyss. He only had to act for the Empress Dowager. In fact, he did not betray me.”
After thinking for a moment, Lu Kang revealed a gratified expression, “It’s great that Shen Qing did not betray Master. Since that’s the case, let this subordinate be responsible for rescuing him.”
“Yes.” Yin Xun paused for a moment before continuing, “I didn’t expect you to continue to work for me after you leave the palace.”
Lu Kang smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, Hong Yin brought the servant with him and brought the food. As soon as he entered, he heard Yin Xun’s words and immediately pretended to be angry, “Yin Xun, this is not right. My husband has already come out of Ninth King’s Mansion, and you’ve come to trouble him with everything. How dare you?”
Lu Kang stood up and helped set up the vegetables. He smiled and said, “One day is the master for the rest of my life. Ten years ago, His Majesty sent me to the side of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince is my master for the rest of my life.”
Hong Yin glared at him, “It’s useless.”
Lu Kang’s gaze was gentle as he laughed and asked, “Aren’t you still married?”
Yin Xun silently watched the two flirt with each other in front of him. He suddenly thought of what would happen if he forgot about Lu Kang one day?
It shouldn’t be anything, right? He’s doing very well now. Perhaps, after he’s truly separated from himself, he’ll become even better.
The three of them happily ate dinner. Seeing the time approaching, Yin Xun left the General’s Mansion.
After returning to the palace, he didn’t see Bai Junzhuo in his room, so he went to the pharmacy to look for her. As expected, he saw where she was.
Yin Xun silently stood behind Bai Junzhuo and watched her busy work. He cooked medicine and fed it to rats. He even took out a pen and paper to write and draw. Half an hour later, Bai Junzhuo clapped his hands and said excitedly, “Great success has been achieved!”
“What accomplished it?” Yin Xun asked.
When Bai Junzhuo heard his voice, he hurriedly turned to look at him and smiled, “You’re back.”
Yin Xun nodded and gently held Bai Junzhuo’s hand. “The princess instructed Youshi to come back. How could I not obey?”
Bai Junzhuo laughed heartily and patted his shoulder, “Good boy, you’re obedient.”
“You’re always surprised,” Yin Xun said, nodding his hand at her nose when he saw her react like this. “I thought you would blush and stutter like usual.”
“I’m already an old wife. How can I be so embarrassed?”
“Is that so?” Yin Xun approached her and carefully looked at her face. He chuckled and said, “I think your skin is getting thicker and thicker.”
As he spoke, he reached out to pinch her face.
Bai Junzhuo opened his hand and said angrily, “You’re the one who’s shameless. Since you like to see me angry, I’ll show you!”
The corner of Yin Xun’s lips curled into a smile as he gently bit his nose, “I like everything about you. Of course, I prefer the way you smile.”
This warmth. Bai Junzhuo blushed from ignorance and flirtatiousness. Then, he turned around and took the paste-like medicine. “I have finally prepared a medicine that can cure the cold poison on your body through solid theoretical basis and detailed experiments. The poison on your body will definitely be removed by the full moon night,” Bai Junzhuo said.
“Thank you, Princess.” Yin Xun nodded and smiled.
Bai Junzhuo looked at his performance with dissatisfaction and asked, “Is that how you react? Why aren’t you shouting and jumping? You don’t seem to be excited at all.”
Yin Xun said indifferently, “I knew you would definitely be able to develop an antidote. Since it’s all within my expectations, what’s there to be excited about?”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and nodded, “That’s right.”
Moreover, how could her family’s Master Yin make such a move? It was too embarrassing and ruined her image.
Bai Junzhuo put the medicine away and said to him, “In the future, you must listen to me and take the medicine on time. I will warn you every day.”
“Yes, this king obeys.” Yin Xun nodded and smiled.
Bai Junzhuo held Yin Xun’s hand and held his wrist quietly. He seemed to be holding hands as usual, but he was secretly calculating his pulse rate.
Walking to the door, Bai Junzhuo gently released his hand. Apart from the cold poison, there really wasn’t any problem.
Could it be that Yin Xun’s forgetfulness was really because he was too tired?
In the end, this question was not made clear.
The next day, at dawn, Bai Junzhuo woke up earlier than Yin Xun for the first time and quietly got out of bed to decoct Yin Xun’s medicine. She walked out gently. Just as she closed the door, Yin Xun opened his eyes.
He also got up and dressed. After everything happened last night, he heard Mo Ying’s voice from outside, “Master, Lu Kang requests to see you.”
Yin Xun’s hand slowed down for a moment. It had only been a night since he had requested to see Shen Qing. Could it be that he had rescued Shen Qing so quickly? Then he said, “Let him in.”
Lu Kang pushed open the door and entered. Shen Qing didn’t follow him. Yin Xun asked curiously, “Haven’t you found Shen Qing yet?”
“This subordinate has already found Shen Qing.”
“You rescued him?”
Lu Kang’s expression was slightly worried as he shook his head and said, “No.”
Yin Xun was slightly shocked, “If you only locked Shen Qing up in the imperial palace prison, which place would you not be able to save?”
Lu Kang hesitated for a moment before replying, “It’s not that this subordinate is unable to rescue Shen Qing, but because …”
