Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 203
Chapter 203 The Conspiracy Gradually Came to Light
“Why?”
“Shen Qing is not locked up in the Imperial Palace’s prison, but in the Imperial Temple by the Empress Dowager. After this subordinate found out about him, he immediately rushed to the Imperial Temple and saw Shen Qing.” Lu Kang paused for a moment before continuing, “But Shen Qing is not willing to leave with his subordinates.”
“Why isn’t he willing to leave?” Yin Xun asked, “What are you worried about?”
“Shen Qing did not say the reason why he did not want to leave. He only said that he wanted to see the princess. When he saw the princess, he would naturally give her what she needed.”
An indescribable feeling surged in Yin Xun’s heart. Shen Qing definitely knew more than he wanted to know, but why did he insist on telling Bai Junzhuo?
Just as Yin Xun was thinking, Lu Kang probed and asked, “Master, the Imperial Temple’s Morning Bell is ringing. Can this subordinate escort the Princess over now and send her back after finishing the matter?”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and nodded, “Sure.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Junzhuo came in with the cooked medicine. Seeing that Mo Yinglu was here, he was shocked for a moment, and then he asked, “What are you three discussing early in the morning?”
Lu Kang told Bai Junzhuo what had happened just now. Bai Junzhuo was still a little distant from Shen Qing, so he frowned slightly and looked at Yin Xun. “Zisu, why did he insist on seeing me?”
“Naturally, there is something I can only tell you, not me.” Yin Xun said slowly, “Go, Shen Qing should have something very important to tell you. Also, I believe in Shen Qing.”
Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment. Since he had already said that he wanted her to go, then he would go.
She took the medicine and said to Yin Xun, “Drink the medicine first. I’ll go after you drink it.”
Yin Xun took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking it, he couldn’t help but frown. He said hoarsely, “What is this thing? It’s sticky and bitter than Huang Lian?”
“Good medicine is bitter,” Bai Junzhuo smiled and took the empty bowl. “As for the sticky stuff, it’s because I grinded two gecko meat into it.”
Yin Xun’s body stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. He swore that he would never drink this medicine again.
“This medicine only needs to be added to the gecko for the first time. It won’t be needed later. Don’t worry.” Bai Junzhuo patted his shoulder and said, “Judging from your expression, are you planning to stop drinking my medicine in the future?”
Yin Xun remained silent. It seemed that he and her were indeed connected.
“You dare!” Bai Junzhuo suddenly became fierce, “You clearly said that you would listen to me and drink my medicine honestly.”
“Eh” Yin Xun suddenly felt extremely powerless.
“Well, Princess …” Lu Kang finally couldn’t help but say, “There will be more people in the Emperor Temple in the future. It’s inconvenient for us to move. Why don’t you come with me now?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and gave Yin Xun a warning glance before following Lu Kang to the Imperial Temple.
After arriving at the Great Compassion Temple, Lu Kang brought Bai Jun’s table meal in through the back door. He avoided the early monks and went around to the firewood room in the backyard. He knocked on the door in front of a room and said, “Shen Qing.”
The door immediately opened, and Lu Kang said to Bai Junzhuo, “Princess, you go in. I will guard the door.”
Bai Jun looked around in confusion. It was as if there was no one around. Why was he so nervous?
She didn’t ask and directly walked in. She originally thought that since the Empress Dowager wanted to lock Shen Qing up, she must have used several layers of chains to lock Shen Qing’s hands and feet, so that Shen Qing could not escape. However, when they entered, they saw Shen Qing standing in the middle of the room with no small wounds on her body. Could it be that he hadn’t completed his mission, and the Empress Dowager hadn’t made things difficult for him?
Bai Junzhuo looked at him curiously. Shen Qing had already knelt down with a “pudong” sound. He said to Bai Junzhuo, “I can’t help but ask the princess to forgive me for what I did that day.”
Bai Junzhuo was shocked. He took two steps back and said, “Hurry up. Didn’t you do anything to me? I’m not a vengeful person. Your Highness didn’t give up on me because of you. Forget it.”
When Shen Qing heard Bai Junzhuo’s words, he couldn’t help but smile. He stood up and said, “I didn’t expect that His Highness would actually have such deep feelings for the princess. He knew that he didn’t dislike the princess after that incident. Instead, he sent Mo Ying to kill me.”
“Ah?” Bai Junzhuo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, “So you all know. Don’t blame your highness. He was also angry and sent Mo Ying to kill you. But didn’t he explain the misunderstanding clearly afterwards? Mo Ying didn’t kill you either. Then don’t hold grudges. Let’s pretend that this didn’t happen.”
Shen Qing looked at her with amusement, “Why would I hate Master? I know Master’s character so well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked Princess to come here.”
As Shen Qing spoke, he jumped onto the beam of the room. After taking something, he jumped down and said to Bai Junzhuo, “This is what the princess wants.”
Bai Junzhuo took it and flipped through it. It was the records of Imperial Concubine Liu, Empress Dowager, and the others regarding their physical condition and medication. After turning two pages, he said to Shen Qing, “Thank you.”
“Princess is too polite.”
Bai Junzhuo put away the file and asked curiously, “I heard from Lu Kang that he only found you today. How did you find this file in a short period of time?”
“I knew that the Empress Dowager would suspect me before I made a move on her, so I had already printed a copy of this item. I was waiting for the day when the Empress Dowager would investigate it so that I could hand it over to the Empress Dowager.”
“Oh?” Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows and asked, “How did you know that I would investigate what happened many years ago?”
“Because this matter is related to Miracle Doctor Bai’s death,” Shen Qing said, “Besides, how can the Queen Dowager sit idly by and wait for her death if she treats His Highness like this? She will definitely find out what happened before so that she can take down the Empress Dowager.”
Bai Junzhuo was speechless. As expected, Yin Xun’s subordinates were all shrewd and frightening.
“Also, I specially called the princess here to remind her of something.” “The murderer who killed Miraculous Doctor Bai that day must be someone familiar with Miraculous Doctor Bai, someone who knows everything about the Bai Clan,” Shen Qing said with a serious expression.
However, only Lin Bailian and Bai Gongyuan were familiar with everything about Bai Gonglu and had the motive to kill him. However, both of them were dead. Furthermore, Bai Gongyuan would rather die than admit that he killed Bai Gonglu, so it shouldn’t be him.
Bai Junzhuo’s heart trembled. Could it be that the murderer of Bai Gonglu was a member of the Bai Clan’s Medicine Hall? He was still in Luoyang, relying on the Bai Clan’s property and family business. Was he free and happy?
Shen Qing did not say anything else. She turned her gaze and landed on the withered tree standing outside the window. She said, “Princess, it’s almost time. You should go back with Lu Kang.”
“Oh,” Bai Junzhuo nodded and asked curiously, “You’re not tied up by the Empress Dowager. There’s no one watching you here. Why don’t you run away?”
Shen Qing smiled helplessly and replied, “The Shadow Guards cannot escape.”
Bai Junzhuo didn’t understand just how powerful the Shadow Guard Camp was, and yet it still couldn’t escape.
Outside the door, Lu Kang urged, “Princess, it’s getting late. Let’s leave quickly.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said goodbye to Shen Qing. Just as he turned around, Shen Qing suddenly said, “Princess, be careful of the people closest to you.”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression was slightly shocked as he turned around and looked at him in confusion.
The person closest to her? Yin Xun? Xingzi? Shen Wujie? Or … Fu Mingyue?
Shen Qing didn’t seem to want to say anything further. Bai Junzhuo didn’t force himself, nodded, and walked out.
After returning to the mansion, Bai Junzhuo couldn’t wait to open the file and read it carefully all morning. At noon, Yin Xun came over and noticed that she was still flipping through it. He stepped forward to take the item away and said, “Are you hungry after watching it for so long?”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression was somewhat absent-minded, as if he was still digesting the information in the file.
Yin Xun raised the file and said, “This isn’t thick either. Based on your speed, you should be able to finish reading it in less than half an hour.”
“I’m not just watching. I still want to think about it.” Bai Junzhuo came back to his senses and took the file back.
“Then did you find anything?”
“Yes.” Bai Junzhuo nodded and opened the file to show him, “Look, according to the records of the Taiyuan Hospital, Imperial Concubine Liu and Imperial Concubine Fu, the current Empress Dowager, were pregnant with a prince at the same time.” The records said that Concubine Liu’s fetal appearance had always been very good, but the Empress Dowager’s fetal appearance was unstable. And before that, when the two concubines weren’t pregnant, it was also Imperial Concubine Liu who was in better health. The Empress Dowager had been taking all kinds of tonic medicines. ”
Yin Xun looked at the record and gradually frowned.
“Just as Imperial Concubine Liu and the Empress Dowager were about to give birth, there was a lack of records for 28 days. After 28 days, Imperial Concubine Liu was suddenly in poor health.”
As Bai Junzhuo spoke, he raised his head to pay attention to Yin Xun’s expression.
Yin Xun did not answer. Bai Junzhuo said, “The imperial physician’s order from the imperial hospital was my father. Later, my father was also in charge of the fetuses of the two imperial concubines. Afterwards, for some reason, all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, except my father, were burned to death.”
Yin Xun pondered for a while, but still hadn’t spoken.
Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment and whispered, “Zisu, I have a guess.”
“What?”
‘”I suspect that the person who gave birth to the child was actually the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty, the child of Imperial Concubine Liu. The two of them gave birth to a prince at the same time, and the Empress Dowager used her dying fetus to exchange for Imperial Concubine Liu’s child. She was afraid that Imperial Concubine Liu would find out, so she ordered Nurse Huang to kill Imperial Concubine Liu.” Bai Junzhuo looked at Yin Xun, who was dumbfounded, and then analyzed, “This is also the only reason why this record can be explained. Furthermore, it is probably because the Empress Dowager wanted to hide this matter that she eliminated the entire Grand Hospital.”
Yin Xun’s face was filled with astonishment. After a long time, he nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then Royal Brother and I will both recognize thieves as mothers.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said hesitantly, “However, I still have one thing I don’t understand.”
“What is it?”
“The Empress Dowager wants to shut up. Why did she let my father go?” Bai Junzhuo asked, “If my father was really killed by the Empress Dowager, why did she have to wait so long to kill him?”
