Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Fall Back into a Trap
Mo Ying put away his shoes and said to Huang Li, “Go back. I really have to go back.”

Huang Li glanced at Mo Ying and immediately moved her eyes away, seemingly hesitating.

Seeing her like this, Mo Ying was puzzled, “Do you have anything else to do?”

Huang Li pursed her lips tightly and shook her head without saying anything.

“Then I really am leaving.” Mo Ying said to Huang Li, “Get out of the way, or I’ll bump into you.”

Huang Li did not move. She looked at Mo Ying with other emotions in her eyes and bit her lower lip, looking very aggrieved.

Inside, Bai Junzhuo finally couldn’t take it anymore. He pulled open the curtain and said, “What are you doing, girl? If you have something to say, just say it. Let’s go.”

Huang Li looked at Mo Ying shyly. Mo Ying was puzzled and looked at Huang Li dumbfounded. Huang Li sighed. She made up her mind and said, “Silly big fellow, I want to go to Chang’an with you!”

Mo Ying was surprised for a moment and quickly shook his head, “No, no.”

“Why did you say no? Your master didn’t say anything!” Huang Li glared at him and then went over to ask Bai Junzhuo, “I, I want to go to Chang’an with you, okay?”

Bai Junzhuo didn’t expect this girl to be so determined. She thought for a moment and said to Huang Li, “Girl, do you know who we are?”

Huang Li obediently shook her head.

Bai Junzhuo asked, “Then do you know what kind of place Chang’an is? How dangerous are the things we need to do?”

Huang Li shook her head again.

“You don’t know anything, you want to go to Chang’an with us?” Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but laugh, “Is it worth it for him?”

Huang Li immediately turned her gaze away and said in a panic, “Who is it for him? I just want to see the world.”

Bai Junzhuo asked again, “Then do your parents know? Do they agree to let you go to Chang’an?”

Huang Li shook her head, “They still don’t know.”

Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and said to her, “Then go ask your parents and see if they agree to come with us. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be worried if you left just like that?”

Huang Li thought for a moment and felt the same. “Wait for me,” he said. “I’ll ask them if they agree.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded slightly and said, “Alright, you go.”

Huang Li turned around and went home. Bai Junzhuo immediately asked Mo Ying, “Mo Ying, do you want to take her to Chang’an?”

Without thinking, Mo Ying shook his head and said, “This subordinate feels that it is not good to involve unrelated people in right and wrong.”

When Bai Junzhao saw his answer, he said, “Alright, let’s go.”

Mo Ying was stunned for a moment and said, “But didn’t the princess agree to wait for her?”

Bai Junzhuo put down the curtain and said, “Let’s go. Stop talking nonsense. If we delay any longer, we might not be able to reach Chang’an tomorrow morning.”

Mo Ying could only nod.

Not long after, Huang Li finally convinced her parents and ran out excitedly, only to see that the carriage had long since disappeared from the door. She stomped her feet angrily and scolded Mo Ying a thousand times in her heart. Then, she went home and took a donkey from the backyard and headed in the direction of Chang’an alone.

By the time Bai Junzhuo and the others arrived at the gate of Chang’an City, it had already been almost an hour, but the city gate was actually still closed.

Chang’an City had never had a “curfew” like this. Only when the plague was spreading would the city be closed for a few days, and the city gates would remain open for the rest of the time.

Mo Ying got off the carriage and went to the side of the city gate to ask. When he came back, he said to Bai Junzhuo, “Your Highness, Princess, the people guarding the city said that His Majesty’s rule is that the city gate can’t be opened until the morrow every day.”

Yin Xun frowned slightly and asked, “When did Royal Brother give such an order?”

Mo Ying replied, “Three days ago.”

Bai Junzhuo’s foreboding grew even more intense. Why did Yin Mu seal the city gate? The Fu Clan had already collapsed, who was he guarding against like this?

Mo Ying added, “If you tell the people guarding the city about your highness’s identity, he will open the door for us now.”

Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and asked Yin Xun, “Zisu, should we go in now, or should we wait until the city gate opens?”

“Wait until the time comes.” Yin Xun said. He looked at Bai Junzhuo and said, “Your complexion isn’t too good. There’s still an hour left. Go to sleep first.”

Bai Junzhuo was rather tired. After giving birth to the child, he had been busy until now. Whenever he thought of his home right behind the thick city gate, Bai Junzhuo felt much more relaxed. He nodded and placed his head on Yin Xun’s lap. He hugged the little precious jade in his arms and closed his eyes. Not long after, he fell asleep.

Yin Xun gently covered Bai Junzhuo’s body with his clothes and carried the precious jade into his embrace. Baoyu probably knew that her mother was too tired. She only bit her finger and didn’t cry or make a fuss.

It was only at this time that the city gate slowly opened. Mo Ying drove his carriage into Chang’an City. Yin Xun looked at the scene in Chang’an and didn’t seem to be inappropriate. It was likely that Bai Junzhuo had thought too much about it, and closing the city gate at night was probably a whim of his royal brother.

After returning to Ninth King’s Mansion, the guard in front of the door saw Mo Ying and immediately welcomed him.

Yin Xun did not wake Bai Junzhuo up. He handed the precious jade to Mo Ying and signaled for him to hug her. Mo Ying didn’t dare and hesitated, “Master, this subordinate doesn’t dare, he’s afraid of falling down on the little princess.”

Yin Xun helplessly looked at him and said, “Hug him.”

Mo Ying had no choice but to take the little man and stare at the little treasure jade without blinking, afraid that something might happen.

Yin Xun gently picked up Bai Junzhuo and led him into the palace.

Mo Ying followed closely behind him. When he walked to the door, his gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of the guard’s face. He felt that it was a bit strange, as if it wasn’t from before the palace. He asked, “Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

The man replied, “Commander Mo, ever since the princess left the palace, His Majesty has changed all the guards in the palace.”

Mo Ying nodded. So it was His Majesty’s intention. Raising his eyes to look at Yin Xun in front of him, he didn’t seem to have noticed that the people in the royal palace had been replaced in the slightest.

That was also true. Other than being familiar with them, Yin Xun also had the same face in his eyes.

Yin Xun had already entered the courtyard before him, so Mo Ying hurriedly stepped on his heels. Just a few steps into the palace, the guard closed the door again.

The faces of the people in the courtyard were very unfamiliar, and Mo Ying did not pay much attention to it. He thought that it was probably because His Majesty had money, so he wanted to exchange it for a whole set.

Two more steps, Mo Ying suddenly felt a sense of impending killing intent. Just as he was about to make a move, the surrounding servants suddenly surrounded him with weapons.

Mo Ying also pulled out his saber and faced each other. With one hand protecting the precious jade, he said, “You weren’t sent by His Majesty at all. Who exactly are you? Where are the rest of the manor?”

The leading servant said, “You’d better surrender obediently. If you dare to resist, the entire Ninth Palace will die!”

Mo Ying didn’t know what to do, but he definitely couldn’t charge forward. Moreover, he had to protect Baoyu.

Without Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo’s orders, Mo Ying did not dare to act rashly. He hesitated for a moment before putting down his saber.

Yin Xun walked halfway and realized that the atmosphere wasn’t right. He noticed that the servants and maids in the mansion had very unfamiliar faces. He recalled his previous deduction. Could it be that Ninth King’s Mansion had really been controlled?

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Shen Wujie walk in from outside the courtyard. Yin Xun was slightly surprised and asked, “Wujie, why are you here?”

“Wuji?” Shen Wujie immediately stepped forward and said, “What did you call me?”

Yin Xun looked at Bai Junzhuo in his arms and motioned for Shen Wujie to speak in a low voice. Then he helplessly said to him, “Wuji, what else can I call you?”

“Have you recovered your memories?” Shen Wujie said excitedly.

Yin Xun nodded and remembered Bai Junzhuo’s plan to deal with the Ancient Fish Princess.

Shen Wujie nodded without asking why. He looked at the sleeping Bai Junzhuo in his arms and said, “Where have you been these past few days? You’re so worried about me.”

Yin Xun was still quite unhappy that his wife was worried by his friend. He said to him, “Are you worried about something wrong? Also, why are you running around Ninth King’s Mansion in broad daylight? Don’t you remember that you’re a dead man?”

Shen Wujie opened his mouth with a hesitant expression.

When Yin Xun saw that he did not answer, he did not force him to ask. He only wanted to send Bai Junzhuo back to his room as soon as possible and said, “I’ll talk to you later.”

He bypassed Shen Wujie and wanted to walk into the room. Shen Wujie stood behind him and suddenly reached out to ruthlessly pat a needle on Yin Xun’s neck. Yin Xun was surprised. He turned around and looked at Shen Wujie with puzzlement in his heart. Then, his eyes darkened and he fainted.

Shen Wujie sighed. That person was right. A person like Yin Xun could only deal with him if he was someone who could make Yin Xun unsuspecting.

The commotion was too big. Bai Junzhuo was woken up. Just as he was about to open his eyes, Shen Wujie slapped her neck again. Bai Junzhuo fell asleep again.

“Sorry, Zisu.” Shen Wujie said helplessly as he looked at Yin Xun who was lying on the ground.

*

When Bai Junzhuo woke up again, he found that it was already late and he was lying on a soft bed. The layout of the room was familiar and proper, and it was the home he had been longing for.

This sleep was too comfortable. He had slept so late all of a sudden. Moreover, his neck was a little painful. He must have fallen asleep. She dressed herself and shouted, “Xingzi.”

Xingzi did not appear immediately. Bai Junzhuo wondered where the girl had gone to play. Before she left, she looked worried to death. Now that she had returned, she could not even see her figure.

She called Ju’an twice, but Ju’an did not come.

Only then did Bai Junzhuo find it strange. Logically speaking, even if Xingzi and Ju An weren’t around, the other maids in the courtyard would still come in and ask if they had any instructions when they heard her call them.

She wanted to go out and take a look, but just as she pushed open the door, she saw two men she didn’t know standing at the door, holding a broadsword in her hand.

The two of them didn’t say anything. Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment before raising his foot and stepping out. Just as he took a step forward, the knife reached her neck. One of them said, “Ninth Princess, please go back. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”

Only then did Bai Junzhuo realize that she had been kidnapped. She did not dare to act rashly. She stood back in her room and hurriedly asked them, “Where is Your Highness? Who exactly are you?”
