Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 222
Chapter 222 Dust Settling
Zhao Chang walked in from outside and said to Yin Mu with a happy expression, “Your Majesty, it’s done.”
Before Yin Mu could reply, the Empress Dowager’s eyelids twitched and she was shocked, “What’s done?”
Zhao Chang ignored her and looked at Yin Mu. Yin Mu turned around and said calmly to the Empress Dowager, “The Fu Clan has collapsed.”
The Empress Dowager did not react in the slightest. She thought that he was joking and replied calmly, “What did the Emperor say? Stop messing around and go back to prepare for the court.”
Yin Mu smiled and asked Zhao Chang, “Where are the Fu family’s military talismans?”
Zhao Chang took it out of his bosom and said, “Here, the Fourth Prince personally handed it over to this old servant and ordered this old servant to hand it over to His Majesty.”
Yin Mu took the talisman and nodded with a chuckle, “Sure enough, our brothers are reliable. The thought of seizing the talisman is not rebellion, but leaving it to me to deal with.”
The Empress Dowager’s expression suddenly changed. It was a military talisman that Fu Chu held firmly in his hand. Why are you here now? Could it be that the Fu Clan really …
Yin Mu looked straight at the Empress Dowager and said, “Mother also saw it. Now that my son is holding a heavy army, mother should be able to trust me to govern this world, right?”
The Empress Dowager’s expression was cold as she asked in disbelief, “What happened to Fu Hou?”
Yin Mu smiled and did not answer. Zhao Chang stepped forward and said, “Go back to the Empress Dowager. Lord Fu wanted to murder the Emperor’s heir and assassinate Imperial Concubine Shu, but he was killed on the spot.”
“Nonsense, dog servant!” The Empress Dowager slapped Zhao Chang on the face and shouted coldly, “Imperial Concubine Shu is Fu Hou’s biological daughter. Consonance is his grandson. How could she want to harm them?”
‘”Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has already surrounded Jingyang Palace. Zhao Chang and King Jinnan’s troops are also standing guard outside Chang’an City, waiting for His Majesty’s orders.” King Chencang smiled instead of being angry and asked Yin Mu, “Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince has already led troops to surround Jingyang Palace.”
“King Jinnan? King Chencang?” The Empress Dowager instantly understood everything. She took two steps back and pointed at Yin Mu. “You and your surname are working together to deal with your birth mother?”
“Birth mother?” The smile at the corner of Yin Mu’s mouth grew thicker and thicker, but his voice suddenly became cold. “Do you think I didn’t know what you did back then? Imperial Concubine Liu is my biological mother. She was killed by you, and you are nothing!”
The Empress Dowager suddenly raised her head and said in a panic, “You, how did you …” Before she finished speaking, she immediately changed her words and said, “What nonsense? How could Imperial Concubine Liu be your biological mother? The Ai Clan is the one!”
“Do you want to see the evidence?” Yin Mu’s gaze was fixed on her, “From the time you and Imperial Concubine Liu conceived at the same time to the time they gave birth, I have a record of it.”
“How could you have one?” The Empress Dowager blurted out.
“Do you think that no one in this world will know the truth after being burned by you?” Yin Mu’s voice wasn’t loud, and he was as gentle and refined as ever. “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to the Ninth Princess. If it wasn’t for her, I would have thought that you were my birth mother for the rest of my life.”
“She? Bai Junzhuo?” The Empress Dowager asked in disbelief.
Yin Mu nodded, “That’s right, an inconspicuous Bai Junzhuo caused the Fu Clan to collapse.” She was also the one who planned the matter of Fu Yuanshu. She first lowered the price of the medicine and then increased it after Fu Yuanshu estimated the price. In this way, Fu Yuanshu would not be able to afford to buy the medicine, and I can punish him for stealing his military salary. “Apart from that, she was the one who found out about my background. She was also the one who obtained the assistance of King King Chencang and King Jinnan.”
The Empress Dowager laughed bitterly, “I thought that there would be no one in your Yin Clan who could control Yin Xun, but I didn’t expect you to find such a capable Bai Junzhuo! If I had known this, the Ai Clan would have killed her when she first entered Chang’an!”
“There is no medicine for regret in this world.” Yin Mu said indifferently.
“Yes,” the Empress Dowager nodded and looked at Yin Mu. “You’ve grown up too. This time, you’re acting like a storm. The Ai Clan and Fu Hou were caught off guard. It was you who won. You can do whatever you want with the Ai Clan.”
Yin Mu smiled calmly, just like the obedient youth who needed the Empress Dowager’s protection. He said to her, “You have nurtured me. I can’t kill you no matter what. You can rest here in Jing Yang Palace for the rest of your life.”
The Empress Dowager’s gaze was blank as she fell to the ground.
Yin Mu didn’t seem to see it. He turned around and asked Zhao Chang, “What time has it been?”
Zhao Chang said, “Your Majesty, it’s time.”
Outside, the sun was getting higher and higher. The long clouds in the east were stained with golden luster. The cold winter had passed, and the wind that blew into Jingyang Palace carried traces of warmth.
“It’s time.” Yin Mu muttered and repeated,
“I should go out and take a look. This belongs to me.”
*
The bell rang again and again from somewhere.
Bai Junzhuo woke up from his dream. Xing Zi had already stood at the bedside. Seeing that she had woken up, he came to serve her and put on her clothes.
At this moment, Ju An ran in from outside. Before he could speak, Bai Junzhuo asked anxiously, “How is it? Is there any news in the palace?”
Ju An gasped for breath and said, “This servant found out that Fu Yuanshu had stolen military pay and committed suicide in the Dali Temple. Marquis Fu went into the palace to assassinate Imperial Consort Shu and the Little Prince and was killed on the spot. The Fourth Prince found evidence of the Fu Clan’s attempt to rebel in the Fu Clan. He has already caught up with Prince Jin Nan and King Chencang.”
“Then what happened to the Empress Dowager?” Xingzi asked anxiously.
Ju An shook his head, “This servant hasn’t found out yet. It is estimated that His Majesty will announce the Empress Dowager’s punishment in the morning.”
Bai Junzhuo comforted Xingzi and said, “Don’t worry, the Fu Clan has collapsed. Even if His Majesty doesn’t kill the Empress Dowager, he will seize all her rights. He won’t let her have any contact with the outside world. The Empress Dowager doesn’t have the ability to control you anymore. You are free.”
Xing Zi was stunned, and then he nodded at Bai Junzhuo with all his might.
Bai Junzhuo gently exhaled. She knew that the matter was far from over. When the Fu Clan collapsed, the struggle between the Wang Ye and the Yin Clan would begin.
However, this matter should be handled by Yin Mu and the others. She would have to travel far to find her missing husband.
A month later, there was news in the court that the matter of attacking the Southern Barbarians was ultimately handed over to Yin Che to lead the troops, and Bai Xu followed the army. The Empress Dowager said that she was sick in Jingyang Palace and did not ask about the government anymore. Fu Mingyue was not implicated by the Fu Clan and became the Empress. It was a blessing for the Li Kingdom that all the officials and empress of the Dao Emperor were in harmony, and there were few voices of opposition.
Shen Qing and Bai Junlan also regained their freedom. Shen Qing returned to Ninth King’s Mansion and Bai Junlan returned to the Bai Clan in Luoyang.
Bai Junzhuo promoted a few trustworthy people in the Chamber of Commerce and temporarily left the Chamber of Commerce under their control. He then went back to pack his new clothes and planned to look for Yin Xun.
She didn’t tell anyone about her plan. Xingzi noticed that she was packing and asked curiously, “Is Miss going somewhere?”
Bai Junzhuo said, “I sent Mo Ying to find His Highness. Mo Ying’s flying pigeon passed the letter to me and said that he had found it. I will follow him.”
Xing Zi frowned and pressed down on Bai Junzhuo’s hand. “Miss, you’re going to give birth in about a month. Why are you running around at this time? It’s better to wait until the child is born before making any plans. Anyway, Prince Mo Ying will be fine with him.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head. “No, I have been separated from him for too long. I can’t wait any longer.”
Xingzi was depressed. Isn’t it only two months since his highness disappeared? How long has it been?
“If Young Miss insists on going, this servant can only tell the Empress to come and dissuade Young Miss.” Xingzi had no choice but to move out of Fuming Yue.
Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but stare at her. This girl was getting more and more disobedient.
However, if Fu Mingyue knew, she would have to nag again. She had to compromise and say, “Alright, alright, I know. Just wait for the baby to be born.”
Only then was Xingzi satisfied.
“I’m so hungry,” Bai Junzhuo said, “I want to eat stewed pig’s feet. I want to rot and rot.”
When Xingzi heard that Bai Junzhuo had the appetite to eat this, he was very happy in his heart. He immediately nodded and said, “This servant will immediately go find a cook to stew it with.”
After saying that, she walked out. After taking two steps, she stopped and said, “By the way, Miss, you don’t want to sneak away while this servant is stewing pig’s feet, do you?”
Bai Junzhuo sighed in his heart. Indeed, those who had done things under the Empress Dowager were harder to fool than ordinary girls.
“Go! Are you bored?” Bai Junzhuo pretended to be angry and chased her away.
Xingzi stuck out his tongue and went down.
That’s right, Bai Junzhuo was planning to move her away and sneak away.
She prepared poison and silver notes for her own protection, and considering that she was likely to produce them on the road, she prepared scissors, several pieces of clean cloth, torches, and so on. Thinking of having to boil hot water to give birth, she secretly moved a stove and stuffed it into the carriage she had prepared. Naturally, she also put the kettle and basin forward. The scrolls of the Bai Clan were also with him.
Get everything ready and stuff it under the bed. Xingzi was still worried about her and ran over to see if she had sneaked away.
Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but feel that what kind of maidservant did he have? He didn’t even have the slightest bit of consciousness as a maidservant and actually dared to interfere in Master’s affairs like this.
She also did not want Fu Mingyue to know about this matter. At least, Fu Mingyue could not disturb her until she left Chang’an City. She had to wait obediently.
When the apricots were stewed and served to her, Bai Junzhuo took it seriously.
At night, Xing Zi also obediently went to bed to rest. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Bai Junzhuo had given up on this idea.
How is that possible? Once she, Bai Junzhuo, wanted to do something and became persistent, she would not even be able to stop herself.
In the middle of the night, Bai Junzhuo secretly got up from the bed, changed into servants’ clothes, took out the luggage under the bed, took the carriage and quietly left Ninth King’s Mansion through the back door.
Yin Xun didn’t have any money on him. Although Mo Ying was secretly helping him, he wasn’t far away. He had been wandering around Chang’an for so many days.
Bai Junzhuo followed the news from Mo Ying. The next morning, the carriage left Chang’an City.
It was estimated that Xingzi would soon discover that she had left. After that, she would enter the palace and tell Fu Mingyue that Fu Mingyue would send people to capture her.
Therefore, we must leave Chang’an before the time limit.
