Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 204
Chapter 204 Is It Biological
Bai Junzhuo asked, “If the Empress Dowager wanted to silence me, why would she let my father go? If my father was really killed by the Empress Dowager, why did she have to wait so long to kill him?”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and replied, “Perhaps it’s because Bai Gonglu still has something she wants, so she can’t kill Bai Gonglu so quickly.”
“So you’re saying that she killed my father because she already got it?” Bai Junzhuo blurted out, “Apart from that legendary scroll, what else does the Empress Dowager want?”
Yin Xun did not say anything. He pondered for a long time and replied, “Perhaps it was that scroll.”
“But that broken scroll is useless at all. What does the Empress Dowager want it for?”
“Perhaps the Bai Clan scroll is really useful, but we just don’t know.” Yin Xun asked, “By the way, where is that scroll now?”
“Not long ago, the people from Luoyang sent me something. Now it’s in the palace.”
Yin Xun nodded, “That’s good.”
Bai Junzhuo closed the scroll and leaned closer, asking him, “Zisu, do you think my deduction about Imperial Concubine Liu and the Empress Dowager is reasonable?”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and said, “This matter is of great importance. I will enter the palace right now and tell Brother Huang about this matter. I will ask Brother Huang for his opinion.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “Yes, you go.”
Yin Xun curled the corners of his mouth and said to her, “But before that, let’s have lunch first.”
Bai Junzhuo replied. After finishing his meal with Yin Xun, Yin Xun rushed to the Imperial Palace.
After arriving outside the main hall of the Western Inner Court, Eunuch Zhao led Yin Xun inside.
Yin Mu was looking at the memorial that had been passed by the Empress Dowager’s “first trial”. When he saw Yin Xun coming over, he put down the memorial and stood up, saying, “Zisu, why are you here?”
Yin Xun didn’t waste any time and directly asked, “Brother Huang, do you know how Second Brother and his mother died?”
Seeing Yin Xun suddenly ask about this matter, Yin Mu felt that something was wrong. He glanced at Chief Zhao and immediately understood. He took all the palace maids and guards out of the hall.
“Why did you suddenly ask about this?”
“Although Royal Brother didn’t say anything, he definitely suspects that Imperial Concubine Liu and Second Brother died at the hands of the Empress Dowager, right?”
Yin Xun bitterly smiled and replied, “Even so, Empress Mother only did this because she wanted me to ascend to this supreme position.”
“What if Imperial Concubine Liu’s child didn’t die?” Yin Xun asked in a daze.
Yin Mu frowned slightly and replied, “If Imperial Concubine Liu’s child hadn’t died, Father Emperor would have made Second Emperor Brother the Crown Prince. The person sitting in this position is Second Emperor Brother. I don’t need to be this puppet emperor. The Fu Clan wouldn’t be so powerful as to force our Yin Clan into such a situation.”
“Then what if,” Yin Xun paused for a moment before continuing, “Brother Huang is the prince of Imperial Concubine Liu. What if the one who died was the prince born to the Empress Dowager?”
Yin Mu was shocked. He hurriedly went forward to cover Yin Xun’s mouth and reprimanded him in a low voice, “Why do you dare to say anything? Don’t you know that anything in the palace can fall into Mother’s ears? Don’t you know what to say and what not to say?”
Yin Xun pulled his hand away and continued, “But what if the truth is true? Royal Brother, how can you continue to recognize the enemy who killed your mother as your mother?”
“Zisu, did you forget the plan that I told you long ago?” Yin Mu frowned and sighed, “I know that you are eager for revenge, but if you don’t come step by step, then you will only get rid of the Empress Dowager, not the entire Fu Clan. What’s the point of your revenge?”
“But I can’t wait anymore,” Yin Xun gritted his teeth and said, “I wonder what the Empress Dowager has done to me again. My memories are gradually being lost. One day, I will forget the plan that Brother Huang said, and I will forget what I need to do …”
“How could this be?” Yin Mu was shocked and said, “What do you mean, ‘memory is gradually being lost ‘? Bai Junzhuo’s medical skills are so brilliant, can’t he cure you?”
“From the looks of it, she doesn’t seem to know what’s going on with me, let alone cure me.”
Yin Mu lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before asking, “Tell me, why do you suspect that I am the child of Imperial Concubine Liu?”
Hearing his question, Yin Xun told Bai Junzhuo the clues and her deductions.
After hearing this, Yin Mu said, “This analysis is indeed reasonable, but there is no evidence, and we cannot really conclude that I am not born of the Empress Dowager.” Yin Mu paused for a moment before continuing, “Zisu, I have an idea. I will first find out if I am the Empress Dowager’s biological son. If not, I will naturally not directly proceed with our plan after estimating the relationship between mother and son over the years.”
Yin Xun asked curiously, “How do you understand?”
Yin Mu thought for a moment and said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble your princess with the method of recognizing a relative.”
Yin Xun was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Yin Mu called Eunuch Zhao in and instructed, “Go to Ninth King’s Mansion now and bring the Ninth Princess over.”
“Yes, this servant will do it this way.”
After Zhao Chang finished speaking, he was about to leave when Yin Xun said, “Wait!”
Chief Zhao hurriedly stopped and turned around to ask, “What orders does the Ninth Prince have?”
Yin Xun looked at Yin Mu and said, “Royal Brother, the method of recognizing relatives is just a drop of blood. Why did you insist on bringing Jun Zhuo into the palace?”
“Drop of blood is easy to say. How do you think you can get the Empress Dowager’s blood?” Yin Mu said helplessly, “Zisu, you can rest assured. I let Bai Jun burn into the palace just to ask her if there are any other ways to recognize her, so that she won’t be in any danger.”
Yin Xun seemed to be hesitating.
Yin Mu waved his hand at Zhao Chang and told him to hurry over. Zhao Chang accepted the order and immediately turned around to retreat. He said to Yin Xun, “Look at how nervous you are. Bai Junzhuo is at least a court official and your princess. If she really dies in the palace, the Empress Dowager won’t be able to explain herself to everyone.”
Yin Xun remained silent. He just didn’t want her to take the slightest risk. Moreover, in his current state, he might forget all these dangerous things in and out of the palace one day, so he would be even more powerless to protect her.
Half an hour later, Bai Junzhuo rushed in from outside the palace and followed Zhao Chang into the main hall. Just as he was about to bow down and salute, Yin Mu waved his hand and said, “Princess, please don’t bow. I heard Zisu say your deduction. I feel that what you said is reasonable and well-founded, so I want to prove whether or not I am the Empress Dowager’s biological son. What can you do?”
“How?” Bai Junzhuo’s expression was ugly. There was no scientific reason for blood and bone dripping to recognize a relative in ancient times. In terms of accuracy, only DNA testing was more safe, and it was not 100% certain. But now, in ancient times, not to mention DNA, there was no condition for a blood type test.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Junzhuo shook his head and said, “Your Majesty, forgive me. I can’t think of a good way.”
Yin Mu did not say anything. Yin Xun walked to her side and said, “Do you need to take the Empress Dowager’s blood and mix it with Brother Huang’s?”
“That’s useless. Even if they aren’t biological, their blood will probably fuse together.”
“Is there really no other way?” Yin Xun frowned.
Bai Junzhuo lowered her head and pondered. Just as the three of them were hesitating, a burst of silvery laughter suddenly came from the door. Then, Yin Zhixuan quickly ran in. She was a tiny person, completely hiding in a green brocade jacket. She wore a red tiger-headed hat. Her appearance was somewhat funny.
When she saw Yin Xun here, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she rushed up and hugged his leg. She raised her head and said, “Ninth Uncle, why did you come to the palace today?”
Yin Xun didn’t have time to pay attention to her and was about to send her away when Yin Zhixuan suddenly raised his finger and said, “Shh, don’t talk. Brother Ah Qing is waiting for me at the door.”
When Ah Qing first arrived, she had originally lived in Ninth King’s Mansion. For some reason, Yin Zhixuan recognized him. She shouted every day that she wanted to play with Ah Qing. Yin Mu doted on her and went to Ninth King’s Mansion to get her. Afterwards, Ah Qing played with Yin Zhixuan in the palace every day.
Yin Mu bent down and said to Yin Zhixuan, “Zhixuan, Father Emperor and Ninth Uncle have something to do now. You can go out and play.”
“No, no, no.” Yin Zhixuan shook her head vigorously. The red tiger-headed hat on her head tilted and almost fell off. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly went forward to catch it and put it on for Yin Zhixuan.
The color of the tiger-headed hat looked really unpleasant, but Bai Junzhuo could not explain why he was unhappy. Looking at Yin Zhixuan’s outfit, he couldn’t help but mutter, “The beauty of the palace maids serving Zhixuan is truly unique. They actually match red with green. It’s extremely ugly.”
“Does Ninth Aunt say that Zhixuan is ugly?” Yin Zhixuan immediately stopped. She turned to Bai Junzhuo and curled her lips, “Ninth Aunt is a bad guy! Ninth Aunt is ugly!”
“No, no, I’m not saying that Zhixuan is ugly. I’m talking about the hat …” Bai Junzhuo’s words came to a halt and he changed his tone, “Zhixuan is the prettiest. Zhixuan looks good in any color hat.”
Hearing this, Yin Zhixuan giggled. “My hat was put on by the royal grandmother,” he said happily.
Seeing that she was happy, Yin Mu coaxed, “Alright, Zhixuan, go out and play with Ah Qing. Ah Qing can’t find you and should cry.”
Yin Zhixuan nodded, then turned around and ran out.
Bai Junzhuo stared at Yin Zhixuan’s small hat like an obsessive-compulsive disorder. “The Empress Dowager’s aesthetic standards are really unique. Don’t you think it’s very uncomfortable to wear such a hat on Xiao Zhixuan?” She said after running out.
Yin Mu smiled and said, “This is also a token of gratitude from Mother Empress. However, it’s really ugly.”
“Mother has always had this kind of taste.” Yin Xun said indifferently.
Although Bai Junzhuo hadn’t seen the Empress Dowager many times, after hearing Yin Xun’s words, he remembered that the Empress Dowager’s dress style had always been very unique. For example, the ghost-colored leather boots worn at the birthday banquet, and the red and green beads and jades stuck in his head. She also likes to wear green clothes. Most noble people wear red and gold.
However, the Empress Dowager had a good foundation. No matter how much lightning she wore, she was able to suppress the crowd, and her domineering aura leaked out.
‘”Yes,” Yin Mu nodded and smiled at Yin Xun. “When I was young, I always heard Mother say how precious the green peony was. Later, in order to please Mother, I did everything I could to buy a green peony. However, Mother only glanced at it lightly and even said that I lied to her, saying that it was obviously a red peony.”
Hearing this, a bolt of lightning flashed through Bai Junzhuo’s mind. Could it be that the Empress Dowager …
