Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 210

Chapter 210 Confess To Apricot
Bai Junlan was not in a hurry. She said quietly, “You should go back and test it out. Don’t you know?”

“Testing?” Bai Junzhuo glanced at her and muttered these two words.

She was still thinking when Shen Qing walked over and whispered to her, “Ninth Princess, someone is coming. Let’s leave this place first.”

Bai Junzhuo regained his senses and nodded. He stood up and said to Bai Junlan, “I will remember what you said. I will come and see you in the future.”

However, Bai Junlan shook her head and said, “Before everything settles down, it’s best not to come over to see me. I’m also a prisoner, and I could be killed at any time. Why don’t you come? I can still live for a few more days.”

Bai Junzhuo looked at her calmly and said life and death in a calm tone. He immediately had a good impression of her. Thinking that she and Bai Juntao were born to the same mother, how could the difference be so great?

“Ninth Princess.” Shen Qing urged again. Only then did Bai Junzhuo nod and leave the Great Compassion Temple with him.

Back at the palace, Bai Junzhuo’s mind was filled with Bai Junlan’s words. She sat in front of the window with her chin propped up. No matter what she thought, she didn’t think that the spy would be Xingzi.

Just as he was in a daze, Xingzi happily walked in with a bottle of chimonanthus and laughed, “Miss, look at the plum blossoms blooming this morning. They smell really good!”

Bai Junzhuo turned around and looked at her without looking at Plum Blossom. Seeing that she was laughing heartlessly and without any emotions other than innocence and joy in her eyes, how could she be a spy sent by the Empress Dowager?

Moreover, he remembered that Xing Zi had always been taking care of her after he crossed over. He had protected her when she was bullied and had even followed her to Chang’an from afar. Xing Zi’s loyalty to her could be seen from the sun and moon.

However, she started to doubt Xing Zi because of a sentence from a sister she didn’t know very well. She really shouldn’t have done so.

Seeing that Bai Junzhuo had been looking at her, Xingzi couldn’t help but feel his hair and face worriedly. “Miss, is there anything on this servant’s face?” He asked in confusion.

Bai Junzhuo came back to his senses and shook his head with a chuckle. “No,” he said, pointing to the stool beside him. “Come over and sit down.”

Xingzi did not suspect him and hurriedly ran over to sit down. He blinked his eyes and looked at Bai Junzhuo.

Bai Junzhuo looked at her face. Looking at this skin, it was clearly the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen year old girl. How could it be the spy who had been following Duke Bai since Xu Chang?

Xingzi asked curiously, “Miss, what exactly is on this servant’s face? Miss, what are you looking at?”

Bai Junzhuo loosened his grip and turned around to pick up the rouge on the table. “Look carefully. Even if you look naked all day long, you’re still pretty. I thought, if you dress up, wouldn’t you look much better than the young ladies of those official families in Chang’an?”

Xingzi blushed and said shyly, “Miss, you’re joking. Miss also has a plain face and doesn’t touch this rouge powder.”

“That’s because I’m already married, and His Highness doesn’t dislike me. I’ve been painting all day, so who should I show it to?” Bai Jun smiled gently and smeared some rouge on Xing Zi’s face. He said to her, “You are different. You have to be dressed beautifully and be favored by others before you can marry.”

‘”No, no,” Xingzi shook his head. “This servant will never marry. She will always be by Miss’s side!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Bai Junzhuo interrupted her and looked at the rouge he had applied to her … He had never been able to do this before, but the apricot had moved randomly just now, and now it was like a ghost.

‘”But Miss, have you forgotten, this servant” said Xingzi, and her eyes turned red. She sniffed and whispered, “This servant can’t have children.”

Bai Jun’s hand trembled. That’s right, Xingzi had been tricked by Auntie Lin for her, so she couldn’t have children.

So, how could Xingzi be a spy sent by the Empress Dowager? How could any spy sacrifice himself like this for the enemy?

Thinking of this, Bai Junzhuo felt guilty and sad. After hesitating for a while, he solemnly said to her, “Don’t worry, I will handle your marriage on my own. I will definitely find a good man for you who truly loves you and doesn’t care about these things.”

“Little Miss, you really are!” Xingzi was so embarrassed that he immediately stood up and said to her, “This servant will go down first.”

“Wait a minute,” Bai Junzhuo pulled her back and said to her, “sit down first. I haven’t finished my sentence.”

Xingzi sat down again. Bai Junzhuo looked at her and said, “You once said that I’m not like the original Bai Junzhuo, right?”

Xingzi was stunned. He nodded and said, “Well, I feel that after the fire, Miss is completely different from before.”

“What’s different?”

‘”Mm” Xingzi frowned and thought for a while. “She’s different now. She used to be obedient and cowardly. She was bullied by Auntie Lin and Eldest Miss. She never dared to say it. Only this servant was indignant about her every day. Moreover, the original young miss didn’t know anything other than medical skills and medicinal ingredients. After the fire, Young Miss became unafraid of the heavens and earth. Under any circumstances, she was cold and quiet. Furthermore, she understood everything and would not be bullied by others. “If young miss is not the previous young miss, then young miss clearly looks the same everywhere as the previous young miss. Moreover, this set of medical skills can only be passed down by Divine Doctor Bai himself. Others can’t even pretend to be able to do so if they want to.”

“Is that so?” Bai Junzhuo smiled and asked, “Which do you think is better, me or Bai Junzhuo?”

‘”Of course it is now,” Xingzi replied without hesitation. “This servant likes the young miss very much. Even when I walk with her, I feel proud!”

Xingzi emphasized three “very” words in a row. Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but laugh and said seriously, “Xingzi, I’ve been hiding something important from you because I don’t think you can be trusted. But after so many things, I found that besides the prince, you are also trustworthy by my side. Therefore, I intend to tell you the truth about my identity. ”

Xingzi was stunned and asked in surprise, “The truth about your identity?”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “The real Bai Junzhuo was already burned to death in that fire. I also died in another place, and then I accidentally attached myself to Bai Junzhuo. I’m afraid that if I were to reveal this matter, the people here would think that I’m a ghost and hide it from you all.”

Xingzi revealed a frightened expression, shaking his lower lip and unable to utter a single word.

“You must not tell anyone,” Bai Junzhuo said while holding her hand. “The only people in the world who know my true identity are you and your highness. If a third person finds out, I will die at any moment, so …”

Xing Zi did not wait for her to finish her sentence. She hurriedly stood up and shook her head, “This servant did not hear anything, did not hear anything!”

Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but smile and said, “You don’t have to be so nervous. I told you this because I believe you. If you feel burdened in your heart, you should treat it as a joke.”

Xingzi hurriedly nodded his head and stood there for a moment. Suddenly, he said, “This servant will go and boil some placenta medicine for Miss!”

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.

Bai Junzhuo sighed softly, knowing that not everyone was as receptive to the unknown as her family’s Master Yin.

After noon, Mo Ying and Shen Qing exchanged them again. As soon as they returned, they came over with a large bundle of account books and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Princess, Your Highness said that this is the operation of the Qingzhou Shipping Company and the Youzhou Salt Company this year. Your Highness asked Your Highness to have the Princess take a look at this first today. I’ll tell you the details when he returns tonight.”

Bai Jun’s burning chin was about to fall off. In just two places, two shops were in such a thick situation for a year? If all the trading houses were to be in a situation of ten years, wouldn’t they have to see the heavens and the earth?

Mo Ying didn’t seem to notice Bai Jun’s reluctance and casually placed all the books on the table.

Bai Junzhuo picked up a book and flipped through it. He raised his head and asked Mo Ying, “Where is His Highness?”

“Your Highness has gone to the Chamber of Commerce.”

Bai Junzhuo frowned and said, “Didn’t I tell him not to be too busy recently? Why …”

“Your Highness is going to help the princess deal with some matters,” Mo Ying said. “Your Highness said that if you let the princess manage the Chamber of Commerce in the future, there will be too many problems that the princess may not notice. Therefore, Your Highness will pave the way for the princess before that.”

“Is this what His Highness said?” Bai Junzhuo asked.

Mo Ying nodded seriously.

Mo Ying probably wouldn’t lie. Since her family’s Master Yin had worked so hard, he had to work hard and do what he had to do. Otherwise, he would be too sorry for her.

Thus, Bai Junzhuo accepted his fate and flipped through the books. At this glance, he saw that it was almost dark, and finally understood the situation of the two families.

These two families had earned quite a bit of money in this year. Since Qing Zhou relied on water, the boats would naturally flourish. Moreover, because they relied on water, the salt industry would also flourish. If you combine the salt shops of You Zhou with those of Qing Zhou, it might be more convenient for you to earn money.

Bai Junzhuo thought that this might be the purpose of Yin Xun showing her these two books.

Xingzi brought her some food, and her attitude was the same as usual. It seemed that Bai Junzhuo’s words to her in the morning had no effect on her at all.

After dinner, Xingzi tidied up the dishes as usual and casually talked to Bai Junzhuo for a while before retreating.

Bai Junzhuo continued to flip through the books, waiting for Yin Xun to return.

At this time, the sky outside had already completely darkened. Tonight, the north wind blew, causing bone-piercing pain to his face.

Chang’an City rarely had such a cold night, so every family went home early to rest. The lights of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion were originally on all night, but the wind was too strong tonight, so he could only take off the lights and blow them out.

The backyard was pitch black. A figure secretly flashed past, opened the back door of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, and quietly walked out.

The figure quickly walked towards the imperial palace, but just a few steps later, he suddenly felt a cold light flash behind him, and a knife was placed straight on his neck.
