Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 207
Chapter 207 Bewitching Master Yin
As the master and servant walked towards the Rain Will Hall, Fang Yi asked worriedly, “Your Highness, this servant just met Nanny Cao. Would the Empress Dowager find it hard to be your Highness?”
Fu Mingyue smiled and said, “What are you afraid of? Even if the Empress Dowager suspects this palace, she can’t do anything to this palace for the time being. Calculating it, this palace is going to give birth on the twentieth of the first month.”
“Since that’s the case, Your Highness needs to be even more careful.” Luckily, she said, “Your Highness has recently ordered people to inquire about the Ninth Princess. This servant feels that Your Highness cares more about the Ninth Princess than she cares about herself.”
“The Ninth Princess has great kindness towards this palace. With this palace here for a day, nothing will happen to her. Furthermore, with the support of the Fu family, no one dares to act rashly against this palace. But she is different.” As Fu Mingyue spoke, she turned around and said to Ji Xiang, “Everything that comes to Ninth King’s Mansion from the palace must be carefully inspected. Nothing should go wrong.”
“Yes,” said Ji Xiang. “This servant will definitely check the things for the Ninth Princess just like how much she eats and wears.”
The three of them returned to the Rain Will Palace and waited until three minutes before Fu Mingyue sent someone to pick Zhu Yankang up from the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.
In order to avoid anyone’s attention, Zhu Yankang dressed in black came in from the courtyard and directly entered the side hall. Fang Yi said to Fu Mingyue through the veil, “Your Highness, the Fourth Princess has already arrived.”
Fu Mingyue leaned on her waist and stood up to greet him. Auspicious went over to lift the curtain and let the fourth princess in.
The two of them sat down together. Fu Mingyue didn’t waste any words and directly asked, “Let’s continue the topic that we haven’t finished talking about during the day. What exactly did you do to the Ninth Prince?”
Zhu Yankang took out a piece of paper and spread it out for Fu Mingyue to look at. Fu Mingyue lowered her head and looked at it. She did not recognize the words on it at all.
“What is this?”
“This is the technique that the Empress Dowager gave me,” Zhu Yankang explained. “Legend has it that the Bai Clan has a complete set of scrolls that record the technique. For some reason, they fell into the Empress Dowager’s hands. Few people in the world can understand the words on these scrolls.”
“You can understand?” Fu Mingyue asked.
Zhu Yankang nodded.
Fu Mingyue thought for a moment and then asked, “Is it really capable of bewitching people?”
‘”I don’t know,” Zhu Yankang shook his head. “The Empress Dowager won’t believe me completely. This is only a part of Tuo’s writing. I hinted at the Ninth Prince according to the method above. It’s not clear how the Ninth Prince will react.”
Fu Mingyue’s eyes flashed with worry. Zhu Yankang asked, “Are you worried about the safety of the Ninth Prince? Even if you were worried, it would be useless, because the scroll I obtained can only hint at bewitching others. The part that undid the hint is still in the hands of the Empress Dowager.”
Fu Mingyue gently shook her head, “Whether the Ninth Prince is alive or dead is not a matter of this palace. This palace is only worried about the Ninth Princess.”
“Are you afraid that if the Ninth Prince dies like this, the Ninth Princess will be sad?” Zhu Yankang curled his lips and smiled, “I don’t think the Ninth Prince will die just because of this hint. Moreover, the Ninth Prince holds the entire Li Kingdom’s business in his hands. If he dies, the Li Kingdom will definitely be in chaos. Therefore, I feel that the Empress Dowager must at least kill the Ninth Prince after arranging everything.”
“I’m not worried about the whole thing,” Fu Mingyue raised her head to look at her. “Since this scroll belongs to the Bai Clan and the current head of the Bai Clan is the Ninth Princess, then this scroll should be in her hands. Why did it get to the Empress Dowager? Who gave it to the Empress Dowager?”
Zhu Yankang turned his gaze and replied, “It’s the person beside the Ninth Princess.”
Fu Mingyue nodded her head, “The Ninth Princess attaches great importance to affection. What she is most afraid of is that the people close to her betray her. She is completely powerless to resist.”
Seeing Fu Mingyue’s worried expression, Zhu Yankang smiled instead and said, “Your Highness is really strange. She is in the Dragon Lake Tiger’s den and worries about the lives of others all day long.” Also, in the afternoon, the Empress kept telling me that you were on the side of the Yin Clan, but when I said that I had used a bewitching technique on the Ninth Prince, you didn’t react at all. Instead, when you mentioned the Ninth Princess, you became so nervous. “Is the Ninth Prince a member of the Yin Family, or is the Ninth Princess a member of the Yin Family?”
“The Ninth Princess is to me what your younger brother is to you.” “Since the Empress Dowager likes you, you are a smart person. Don’t say anything you shouldn’t say,” Fu Mingyue sneered with a sharp smile in her eyes.
Zhu Yankang was stunned for a moment, then he nodded, covering up the sharpness in his eyes, but he did not hide the smile on his lower lip.
It seemed that the Ninth Princess was her weakness.
The two of them remained silent for a long time. Zhu Yan recovered and asked again, “Then do you want to remind the Ninth Prince that he has been bewitched?”
Fu Mingyue thought for a moment and shook her head, “Didn’t you say that the Gu Solution is still at the Empress Dowager’s place? Therefore, even if he knew, there was nothing he could do to remove it. It would be better to wait and see what he would become.”
“Yes.” Zhu Yankang nodded.
Fu Mingyue looked at her calmly. This foreign woman had no connection with Bai Junzhuo’s brother and married the Fourth Prince. In addition, she had bewitched the Ninth Prince. The Empress Dowager really found a powerful helper, making this matter even more complicated.
Fortunately, this person and the Empress Dowager weren’t on the same side.
Just as Fu Mingyue was thinking, Zhu Yankang asked again, “You said that our goals are the same. Can you tell me if you have any good ways to deal with the Empress Dowager?”
“We have to deal with not only the Empress Dowager, but also the Fu Clan, which relies on the Empress Dowager.” Fu Mingyue smiled coldly and said, “Take your time. This is the most exciting part of the play.”
Zhu Yankang did not say a word. After a long time, he said, “Since that’s the case, it’s not convenient for me to stay in your palace for long. I’d better go back first.”
Fu Mingyue nodded and ordered Luck to send her back.
After Zhu Yankang left, Fang Yi came over and said, “Your Highness, it’s getting late. It’s better to rest early.”
“Wait a moment.” Fu Mingyue casually waved her hand, as if she was thinking about something, not wanting Fang Yi to disturb her. After thinking for a long time without any clues, he asked Fang Yi, “A close person beside the Ninth Princess betrayed her and handed the scrolls of her family to the Empress Dowager. Who do you think it was?”
“The Ninth Princess actually has someone from the Empress Dowager by her side?” Fang Yi was shocked for a moment, then calmly pondered for a moment before replying, “This servant feels that if Princess Fu was still in Ninth King’s Mansion earlier, it was very likely that Princess Fu was the one who did it. Now that Princess Fu is not here, this servant does not know who did it.”
Fu Mingyue sighed softly. Fang Yi hurriedly said, “Your Highness, don’t worry about the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess is so smart, she will definitely be able to handle it.”
“Her intelligence is limited to people who are not close to her.” Fu Mingyue’s face was filled with worry, “If it was someone close to her, she would definitely not be able to deal with them with all her heart, and she would not even suspect them.”
“Even so, the Ninth Prince will still protect the Ninth Princess.”
“He can’t even protect himself now.”
“No matter how bad it is, there is still His Majesty here.” Fang Yi continued to comfort her, “Your Majesty is the smartest person in the world. With Your Majesty here, Your Majesty will be fine, Your Majesty will be fine, and the Ninth Princess will be fine.”
When Fu Mingyue heard this, the worry on her face lessened. She whispered, “I hope so.”
Fang Yi nodded slightly and suddenly remembered something. She said, “It’s really strange. This servant thought that after Princess Fu died, Lord Marquis Fu and the Empress Dowager would blame the Ninth Princess for this. They wanted to deal with the Ninth Princess.” However, none of the people sent by the Empress to protect the Ninth Princess noticed anything from Lord Fu. “Do they really think that Princess Fu is dispensable with the Empress?”
“How could that be?” Fu Mingyue sneered. “To them, Fu Yunyue is the daughter of the first wife of the Fu Clan from childhood to adulthood. If I do not marry His Majesty, even if I return to the Fu Clan, I will only be an ordinary woman.”
As she spoke, Fu Mingyue frowned and murmured, “But what you said makes sense. Since Fu Yunyue is dead, Lord Fu and the Empress Dowager’s reactions are too indifferent …”
Fang Yi blinked her eyes and blurted out without thinking, “Could it be that Princess Fu isn’t dead?”
Hearing this, Fu Mingyue’s heart trembled.
The fire on the second day after Fu Yunyue’s death was too sudden and suspicious. It was very likely that the person who had been charred in the fire was not Fu Yunyue at all, and the real Fu Yunyue had already been rescued by the Empress Dowager!
If Fu Yunyue really wasn’t dead, wouldn’t the Empress Dowager know what she had said to Fu Yunyue before? And if she really wasn’t dead, where would she be now?
The more Fu Mingyue thought about it, the more she felt that the situation was not good. She turned to Fang Yi and said, “Take the paper and pen. This palace’s book of cultivation will be handed over to the Ninth Princess immediately.”
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around to get the pen and paper.
Fu Mingyue quickly finished writing and handed it to Fang Yi. She instructed, “You must call the Ninth Princess of Dao as soon as possible.”
Fang Yi nodded. “But it’s almost midnight. It’s very likely that the Ninth Princess is already asleep.”
“Then go to her mansion and wait. Give this to her as soon as she wakes up.”
Looking at Fu Mingyue’s appearance, Fang Yi guessed that the situation must be extremely urgent. She nodded and hurriedly left the palace.
When they arrived in Ninth King’s Mansion, Bai Junzhuo had indeed fallen asleep. Fang Yi told the housekeeper of Ninth King’s Mansion and stood at the door waiting for her.
During the winter, Fang Yi froze outside all night. Early the next morning, Bai Junzhuo woke up and opened the door. She was startled to see a little girl standing at the door with a blue face.
Then she recognized that this was Fu Mingyue’s personal maidservant. She couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Why are you here? Look at you. You’ve been waiting all night, haven’t you?”
Fang Yi took out the letter in her arms and handed it to Bai Junzhuo. “Ninth Princess, it’s urgent!” She said.
Bai Junzhuo took the letter curiously. Just as he took it over, Fang Yi fainted on the ground.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly called Ju’an and Xingzi to bring her down to warm up, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
She looked at the letter in her hand. What was so urgent that she sent someone over in the middle of the night?
She hesitated for a moment before opening the letter and reading it.
