Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 205
Chapter 205 The Emperor’s Probe
A bolt of lightning flashed through Bai Junzhuo’s mind. Could it be that the Empress Dowager … she was blind in red and green?
Red-green blindness is an X-chromosome recessive inherited disease. As long as a woman has it, both her son and father will have it. If the Empress Dowager really had red-green blindness, her own son would naturally have one as well.
As Bai Junzhuo thought about it, he pointed at a bunch of red plum blossoms in the jade bottle and asked, “Your Majesty, what color are those plum blossoms?”
Yin Mu was stunned and looked at her puzzledly. However, he still cooperated and replied, “Naturally, it’s red.”
“So His Majesty is not color blind?” Bai Junzhuo nodded lightly and said, “Next, we need to prove that the Empress Dowager is not color blind.”
“What are you talking about?” Yin Xun asked curiously, “What is color blindness?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled at him and explained, “You may not understand what I said, but this method is definitely more scientific than blood dropping.” As Bai Junzhuo spoke, he walked to the imperial desk and took out three shorter brushes. He placed the two shorter brushes together and the other shorter and longer brushes together. “Medical research shows that each person’s body has different chromosomes and sexuality. There are two kinds of chromosomes, one is X and the other is Y,” Bai Junzhuo said. When two identical X’s are put together, they are women, and when one X and one Y are put together, they are men. ”
As Bai Junzhuo spoke, he raised his head to look at the two of them. Yin Mu only frowned and did not say anything. Yin Xun helplessly said, “You know we don’t understand.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand.” Just trust her anyway.
Bai Junzhuo pointed to the combination of the two short pens and said, “Suppose this is the Empress Dowager’s chromosome.” He then pointed to the other group and said, “This is the chromosome of the previous emperor. The Empress Dowager has red-green blindness, red-green blindness has been proved to be an X chromosome recessive hereditary disease, only two chromosomes have this disease gene, will develop this disease. The Empress Dowager inherited one chromosome from her son. Since she was her son, the other chromosome came from the Y of the previous emperor. It was this one that grew. ”
Bai Junzhuo took the brushes from the two groups and combined them into a new clan. He said to Yin Mu, “If His Majesty was also the Empress Dowager’s biological son, there would definitely be a red-green blind gene in his body, and he would not be able to distinguish between red and green. In this way, the green peony that His Majesty had mentioned would not appear.”
Yin Xun and Yin Mu were confused when they heard this, and they both frowned as they looked at Bai Junzhuo. Yin Xun said helplessly, “Can you explain it in another simple way?”
Bai Junzhuo didn’t care if they understood or not, he could just say it happily. Without further explanation, he continued, “In a word, the Empress Dowager cannot distinguish between red and green. If His Majesty can distinguish between red and green, then the Empress Dowager must not be His Majesty’s biological mother.”
Yin Mu and Yin Xun did not dwell on the previous question. They looked at each other. Yin Mu said, “I didn’t pay too much attention to it before. Now that you’ve reminded me, I really feel that the Empress Dowager probably can’t distinguish between red and green.”
“But it’s also possible. The Empress Dowager can distinguish clearly. Just her taste is unique.”
“Isn’t it enough to test it out?” Bai Junzhuo looked at the two and smiled.
“How?” Yin Xun was puzzled, “You can’t go over and point at the plum blossom and ask the Empress Dowager what color it is, right?”
Bai Junzhuo smiled gently and said to Yin Mu, “The Empress Dowager has already dealt with everything in the court. Your Majesty is so idle, why don’t you go play chess with the Empress Dowager?”
“Huh?” Yin Mu raised his eyebrows, not knowing what she was up to.
Bai Junzhuo pursed his lips and said his idea.
After discussing with Yin Mu, Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo left the palace. On the way, Yin Xun asked worriedly, “Will the Empress Dowager really show her feet?”
“Don’t worry, my method is absolutely reliable.” She nodded and opened the curtain to look further and further into the Imperial City.
In the afternoon, the sky began to change. The entire Imperial City was shrouded in darkness. Perhaps it would snow soon. Once the Emperor knew that the Empress Dowager was not his biological mother, he did not know what would happen next.
However, even if the Empress Dowager was the Emperor’s biological mother, for the sake of the Fu Clan suppressing the Yin Clan, one day, Yin Mu and the others would deal with the Fu Clan. She was only investigating this matter as a catalyst.
Bai Junzhuo put down the curtain and gently leaned against Yin Xun’s chest. “Zishu, perhaps we’ll be able to live a carefree life soon.”
Yin Xun gently placed his hand on her abdomen, his chin against her forehead. He only smiled gently and didn’t say anything.
Inside the imperial palace, Yin Mu estimated that after Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo left, they really ran to Jing Yang Palace to ask for the Empress Dowager with a game of chess.
The Empress Dowager had just finished her lunch break when Yin Mu went in and sat beside the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager smiled and looked at him, “What is the wind blowing today? Why are you free to come to the Ai Clan?”
“Imperial Concubine Shu dislikes me for always bothering her, so I came to the Empress Mother’s place.” Yin Xun said innocently, “If Mother feels that this son is annoying, then this son really has nowhere to go.”
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, “What did Mu’er say? The Empress Dowager only has one son. Why would she dislike you?”
Yin Mu also smiled and casually said, “Didn’t Mother Empress still have Ninth Brother? Ninth Brother has been following Mother Empress since childhood. Mother Empress treats Ninth Brother as if she had come out.”
Speaking of Yin Xun, the Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, “Yes, yes, and Xun’er. However, this child has rarely come to see the Ai Clan since she got married. Sigh.”
The Empress Dowager let out a long sigh, as if she was truly sad.
Yin Mu hurriedly said, “Isn’t Ninth Brother busy? This year is coming, and Ninth Brother’s business affairs need to be summarized. That’s why he didn’t come to see Mother Empress. Mother Empress, let’s not talk about Ninth Brother anymore. It’s still early. How about playing a game of chess?”
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, “Since Mu’er is so elegant, how can Mother ruin your mood? I’ll accompany you in the next round. Someone …”
As the Empress Dowager spoke, she turned around and called for someone to carry the chessboard. Yin Mu immediately brought the chessboard with him and placed it on the table, saying, “Your son has brought everything over.”
Suspicion flashed through the Empress Dowager’s eyes, but in the end, she did not move and sat opposite Yin Mu. She faced Yin Mu in a black-and-white duel and got up.
The Empress Dowager’s expression was calm at first, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Yin Mu calmly observed the Empress Dowager’s expression. A few days later, she saw that the Empress Dowager’s brows were tightly knitted. She held onto a black piece and pondered for a long time, but did not think about where to put it.
Yin Mu smiled and said, “When I was young, I played chess with my mother. The mother always gave way to my son and reminded him where to put it. Now, I should also remind my mother. At this moment, the mother should try the ‘Double Tigers’, right?”
The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, “Yes, I didn’t expect you to remember what happened at that time.”
After saying that, she followed Yin Mu’s prompt and looked at a position. With a “pa” sound, she actually slapped her chess piece on the white piece that Yin Mu had left behind.
The Empress Dowager’s hand trembled as the chess piece slipped from her hand and rolled to the ground.
Yin Mu bent down to pick up the chess piece and sneered where the Empress Dowager could not see it. When he raised his head again, he looked obedient and said to the Empress Dowager, “Is Mother tired? Isn’t this the one who walked the Twin Tigers?”
The Empress Dowager then stroked her head and said, “The Ai Clan is probably tired. I don’t know what’s going on with this chessboard, but it makes the Ai Clan blinded. Forget it, the Ai Clan admits defeat and won’t let go.”
Yin Mu smiled faintly, “Didn’t Mother think that this chessboard was so beautiful?”
The Empress Dowager glanced at the chessboard and was puzzled, “It’s just an ordinary chessboard. What’s so beautiful about it?”
“Today, I was playing with Zhixuan in the Spiritual Void Hall. Zhixuan was bored and painted the chessboard red and green. I especially brought it to the Empress Mother to take a look.” Yin Mu raised the chessboard and said, “After Zhixuan finished painting the chessboard, she was covered in paint and dirty. She still insisted on coming over to see Mother Empress.”
The Empress Dowager’s eyes were deep and silent for a moment. She forced a smile and said, “This child Zhixuan is really naughty. Let her go to school with the Crown Prince next spring.”
“Yes, this son also has the same intention.”
The Empress Dowager yawned and raised her hand. “The Ai Clan is really old. They just woke up and got sleepy again.”
Yin Xun knew what she meant, so he immediately said, “I won’t disturb Mother’s rest anymore. Your son will leave.”
After Yin Xun finished speaking, he took his chessboard and left Jing Yang Palace.
Just as he left, the Empress Dowager summoned her personal nanny, Nanny Cao, and asked, “Do you think the Emperor has discovered something?”
Nanny Cao replied, “What does the Empress Dowager mean?”
“Is this red and green chessboard testing the Ai Clan?”
Nanny Cao said, “But even if Your Majesty knows that the Empress Dowager cannot distinguish between red and green, so what? Your Majesty will not suspect the Empress Dowager because of such a trivial matter, right?”
The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment before raising her head and saying, “The Ai Clan always feels that something is wrong. Send someone to bring her Fourth Princess over.”
Granny Cao received the order and brought Zhu Yankang over in about an hour.
Zhu Yankang bowed and then straightened his body and asked the Empress Dowager, “May I know why the Empress Dowager called me here at this time?”
The Empress Dowager played with her fingernails and casually asked, “How are you getting along with Che’er?”
Zhu Yankang smiled indifferently, “No matter what, it’s not something the Empress Dowager needs to worry about, right?”
Nanny Cao was still standing beside Zhu Yankang. Hearing her disrespectful tone, she whispered, “Fourth Princess, don’t be rude.”
Zhu Yankang snorted coldly, not paying any attention to her reminder.
The Empress Dowager didn’t care at all. She waved her hand and said, “Come to the Ai Clan.”
Zhu Yankang walked over. The Empress Dowager held her hand and said, “The Ai Clan knows that you were forced to stay in the Li Kingdom, and their hearts are filled with sorrow. However, the Ai Clan made you marry Che’er for your own good.” “That Bai Xu is just a military counselor who has no family background or background. As for Yin Che, he is a true Great General and the fourth prince of our Li Kingdom. Isn’t it a thousand times better to marry him than to marry Bai Xu?”
Zhu Yankang pulled back his hand and lowered his eyebrows, “The Empress Dowager can say whatever she wants. As long as the Empress Dowager can really let go of my younger brother in the future, you don’t need to waste your breath now. If you have any instructions, just say it directly.”
The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, “The Ai Clan likes your straightforward temperament.”
① There was a mention of red-green blindness in “Young Master Bao Qingtian Part II”. From what he said, it seemed that this hereditary disease had already been discovered in China during the Song Dynasty. But the data only say that the disease was discovered and named by the famous British chemist Dalton in the 18th century, not to mention when it was discovered in China. It is assumed that Xiao Bai was the first person in this era to discover the red-green blindness.
