Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 218
Chapter 218 The Face of a Ghost Beast
Bai Junzhuo looked at the mask on the person’s face and asked in panic, “You, what are you doing here?”
“Wujie said that His Majesty has already begun to prepare for action?” The masked man said.
Bai Junzhuo’s heart relaxed a little as he nodded and said, “That’s right.”
The man fell silent for a moment and said, “Let His Majesty do it. As long as he can deal with Fu Hou and the court minister is under my control, nothing will go wrong.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded.
Seeing that Bai Junzhuo had agreed, the man turned around to leave. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said, “Wait!”
The masked man stopped and turned around to ask, “What else do you need?”
“What do you use to control the court officials?”
“I don’t need to tell you.”
“Then why should I believe you?”
That person’s voice did not fluctuate at all. He said, “You can either not believe it or not borrow my strength. As long as you are sure that those few Wang Yezi and the Yin Clan can fight against each other, they will be able to surpass the Fu Clan.”
“However, you have a way to control the officials of the court. The Fu Clan is not a free meal. Are you sure that those officials will obey your orders and resist the Fu Clan?”
“I didn’t say that they would resist the Fu Clan,” the masked man said. “The Fu Clan’s power is overwhelming. If Fu Hou doesn’t die, not many people in the court will dare to openly resist them. But as long as the Emperor plots to kill Fu Li, I can handle the rest.”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned when he heard this and immediately asked, “You mean that if Fu Li doesn’t die, you won’t be able to control the court minister. Everything is in vain?”
The man nodded, his eyes filled with admiration, “That’s right.”
Bai Junzhuo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, “Then what will happen after that?”
“After what?”
“After His Majesty dealt with Fu Hou, you still controlled the court officials. Will you seek power to usurp the throne?” Bai Junzhuo looked straight into his eyes behind his mask, “You have asked His Majesty to remove Fu Li for you. What a beautiful thought.”
“If the Yin Clan doesn’t get rid of Fu Chu, the world will always belong to the Fu Clan. If the Yin Clan gets rid of Fu Chu, then whether the world belongs to the Yin Clan or to me will depend on who is more capable, me or Yin Mu.”
Bai Junzhuo’s gaze was cold. After thinking for a while, he said, “You’re right, but before we cooperate, can you answer a few questions?”
The man thought for a moment and nodded, “Three.”
“Alright,” Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and asked, “Who exactly are you?”
The man shook his head, “There’s no answer.”
“You!” Bai Junzhuo was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do. He took a deep breath and asked, “Is Shen Wujie really your son?”
The man thought for a moment and nodded, “That’s right, it’s my own son.”
So Shen Wujie was fostered beside King Jinnan? It was rare for Princess Jin Nan and Prince Jin Nan to treat Shen Wujie as if they were their own sons.
However, since that was the case, Prince Jin Nan and Princess Jin Nan might know about Shen Wujie’s father’s identity and ask them in the future.
Bai Junzhuo asked again, “May I see your face?”
After she asked, she did not give any hope. She felt that since this person wanted to conceal his identity, he would definitely not let her see him. Unexpectedly, the man only hesitated for a moment before taking off his mask.
Bai Junzhuo looked at the face that appeared behind the mask. It was as shocked as the first time he saw Fu Mingyue. There were no hemangiomas on this person’s face, only burning wounds. Apart from those eagle-like eyes, nothing was good.
When the man saw that she was stunned, he put the mask back on his face and turned around to leave.
Bai Junzhuo continued, “Wait, I still have a question to ask!”
The man stopped and turned to her, “You’ve finished asking three questions.”
Bai Junzhuo glared at him, “Don’t play dumb! You clearly didn’t answer the first question!”
“I said you could ask three questions, but I didn’t say I had to answer every one.” That person’s tone was still calm as he said to Bai Junzhuo, “I set the rules. You must listen.”
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and turned around to walk out.
Bai Junzhuo’s face was full of words. Indeed, the old man of ancient times was not easy to deal with!
After that person left, he lingered at the door for a moment. Since it was Bai Junzhuo’s pair of eyes that could see through everything, as well as the words she asked, in his mind.
There weren’t many women like this in the world, yet they weren’t with his son. It was too wasteful. However, his son didn’t know how to cherish her. Back then, Bai Junzhuo had been poisoned. He had personally sent her to his son’s bed, yet he had actually returned her to Yin Xun with his hands cupped. This was truly disappointing.
However, the matter was about to end. Once Fu Li died, the Yin Clan’s group of children would not be able to turn the tables. The world would soon be his.

Yin Mu acted decisively. A few days later, he transferred Fu Li’s son to Chang’an according to the plan. At this time, the border was playing, saying that the Southern Barbarians and Wu Guo allied troops had attacked.
Yin Mu felt a sudden chill today and his face was pale. When he heard this news, he coughed for a long time before stopping. His face was even colorless. He asked, “What do you think, Ai Qing?”
The one who spoke first was Yin Che. He cupped his fists and stepped forward, saying, “Not long ago, I only taught the Southern Barbarian Kingdom a lesson. Now, they still do not know the lesson. I am willing to lead troops to the border, go deep into the Southern Barbarians, intimidate the Eastern Wu, and kill him without leaving a trace!”
Yin Mu turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager behind the curtain. The Empress Dowager had an unknown expression on her face as she looked straight at Yin Che.
Yin Che could not see the Empress Dowager’s gaze, but Yin Mu could clearly see it. He sighed and said, “Your Royal Brother has just been married. How can I let you lead troops to battle now?” He then looked at Fu Li and said, “Does Lord Fu have a candidate?”
Fu Li was stunned by Yin Mu’s shout. He had always felt that Yin Mu would definitely hold onto the military forces in the south. This battle would also send Yin Che over. He didn’t expect that he would ask such a question.
Fu Li pondered for a while, wondering if there was a trap. However, he looked up at Yin Mu as if he was a sick chatterbox. He was so weak that he could not withstand a single blow. What other strategy could a puppet emperor like him come up with? Moreover, Yin Xun had disappeared again. Yin Che was originally an ordinary man, and the Yin Clan was currently at its weakest. Presumably, Yin Mu really wanted to rely on the Fu Clan to take the initiative to let him handle this war.
Fu Li stepped forward and cupped his fists. “This old minister is willing to personally lead the troops there.”
Before Yin Mu could say anything, the Empress Dowager slowly said, “Lord Marquis Fu is old. It’s better to leave this matter of accomplishing something to the younger generation.”
“The Empress Dowager is right,” Fu Chu nodded.
Seeing that they were singing together, Yin Mu did not realize it and asked, “Then who would be better to send?”
“The secretary is a heroic youth of the Origin Book. He has both civil and martial skills, so he can bear this responsibility.”
This Fu Yuanshu was really Fu Li’s only biological son, and he was transferred to Chang’an not long ago. However, he had always been a civilian and had never held military power. Yin Mu sneered in his heart. Secretary Jian was able to lead troops to war. This was the first time he had heard of this since the founding of the Li Kingdom. The people of Fu Li were also trying their best to flatter him.
As expected, Chen Cangwang stood up and objected, “Your Majesty, how can you let a civil servant lead troops to war?”
When Yin Che was rejected by Yin Mu just now, he was already unhappy in his heart. He also stepped forward and said, “I’m afraid that child from the Fu Clan hasn’t even read a military book, right? Fighting is not like going through a family. Tell a child to fart!”
“Your Majesty, although this minister’s son has always been a civil servant, this minister has fought for decades, and his children are no weaker than some people.” Fu Chu glanced coldly at the two people and raised his head to say to Yin Mu, “Your Majesty, although this minister’s son has always been a civil servant, I have fought for decades.”
Yin Che sneered, “Tell me who doesn’t know, a mule or a donkey. Pull it out and show us!”
Originally, when Yin Che said this, it was obvious that he was scolding Fu Yuanshu for not being a human. Fu Li could naturally hear what he meant. Although he was angry in his heart, he did not show it.
Fu Yuanshu did not wait for Fu Li to say anything. He took the initiative to step forward and kneel down, saying, “I have already had the intention to kill the enemy. Please give me a chance, Your Majesty!”
This Fu Yunshu was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was just a brat. Fu Li was too anxious. How could such a young child be released to do something? Clearly, it was for him, Yin Mu.
Yin Che covered his mouth and coughed. Looking at him like that, it seemed as if his heart and liver were about to cough out.
The Empress Dowager’s tone was filled with heartache as she said to Yin Mu, “Your Majesty’s body is unwell, so there is no need to forcefully hold on. Leave this matter to the Ai Clan to decide.”
Yin Mu nodded, “Thank you, Mother Empress.”
After saying that, Zhao Chang helped Yin Mu leave. Yin Che’s eyes almost popped out. What exactly happened to his royal brother? Just like that, he handed over the military power of the south to the Fu Clan?
When Yin Mu had just left, the Empress Dowager ordered Fu Yunshu to lead the troops there. She even casually said, “You should be responsible for purchasing the medicinal materials for weapons as well.”
“Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager.” The complacency on Fu Yuanshu’s face could not be hidden.
After the court dispersed, Yin Che went to the inner courtyard of the west to look for Yin Mu. He rushed into the Imperial Study angrily, ignoring the courtesy of the monarchs and subjects. He directly asked, “Royal Brother, why did you send that brat from the Fu Clan to fight in the south? Don’t you want to protect the rivers and mountains of the Li Kingdom?”
Yin Mu drank his tea and calmly said to him, “Zi Chi, you can’t look at him as young and think that he’s useless. When you first led the army, weren’t you also a seventeen or eighteen year old brat?”
“But Royal Brother …”
“I have decided, you can leave.” Yin Mu waved his hand and chased him away.
Yin Che was furious, but he still wanted to argue, but on second thought, Yin Mu should care more about the country than anyone else, and he shouldn’t hand it over to anyone.
He must have some idea, and it was not convenient for him to tell him.
With this thought, Yin Che calmed down slightly and cupped his hands, saying, “Brother Chen, please leave.”
Outside the palace, Bai Jun didn’t go to court and immediately found out that Yin Mu had let that son of the Fu Clan lead troops to battle. He immediately gathered the supervisors of the medicinal ingredients section of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the matter.
After everyone had arrived, Bai Junzhuo did not waste any words and ordered, “Immediately cut the price of such medicinal ingredients as analgesia and hemostasis by half!”
As soon as he said that, the pot immediately exploded.
