Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 242
Chapter 242 Father and Son on the World
Wei Yuanyao coldly said to Bai Junzhuo, “Raise your head.”
Bai Jun’s palms were covered in sweat. If she was recognized, with so many people here, she and Shen Wujie would definitely die without a burial ground.
Seeing that she didn’t move, Wei Yuanyao felt that she was ready, so he extended his hand to provoke her face. However, before his hand could touch Bai Junzhuo, Shen Wujie grabbed him.
Wei Yuanyao frowned as he thought about who was so ungrateful that he was about to explode when he suddenly met Shen Wujie’s slightly displeased face.
Wei Yuanyao was stunned for a while before he was sure that it was really Shen Wujie. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said, “This subordinate greets Young Master!”
When the others heard this, they all knelt down and said, “Greetings, Young Master!”
Shen Wujie originally thought that Wei Yuanyao would catch him back when he saw him, but he didn’t expect such a reaction. It seemed that the news of him escaping with Bai Junzhuo hadn’t reached him yet.
He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He burned Bai Jun behind him and didn’t let Wei Yuanyao get up. He asked him, “Wei Yuanyao, what is this place?”
“Young Master, this is the underground of the Zhuang Yuan Manor. Exiting from here is the backyard of the Zhuang Yuan Manor.”
“What are you doing here?” Shen Wujie asked.
Wei Yuanyao’s expression was slightly hesitant, as if he wasn’t willing to say anything.
Shen Wujie said coldly, “Really? The Lord seems to have said that I have the right to execute all of you at will.”
“But the Lord has also instructed us not to let Young Master know about this place or what we are doing.” Wei Yuanyao raised his head and looked at him.
Shen Wujie smiled coldly, “Even if you don’t tell me, I know that it’s just smelting weapons secretly in an attempt to cause trouble during the Qingming Festival.”
“Young master …”
“You don’t have to say anything,” Shen Wujie interrupted him. “The Lord wants to be the emperor, and you and I have the heart to help him ascend to the throne. However, he is so brutal, how can he make the people obey him? You can have everyone here released and sent back to the Ancient Fish now.”
Wei Yuanyao was shocked, “Young Master, this matter is of great importance. You absolutely must not do this!”
“You don’t obey orders, do you?” Shen Wujie raised his hand and said to Wei Yuanyao, “Do you believe that I will kill you?”
“Even if Young Master kills this subordinate, this subordinate will not dare to disobey the orders of the master!”
“You” Shen Wujie was anxious, as if he really wanted to kill him. Wei Yuanyao suddenly said, “If Young Master really wants to let these people go, then go ask the Lord for his opinion, or get the Lord’s instructions. Otherwise, even if you kill this subordinate, it will be useless.”
Bai Junzhuo also pulled him gently and said, “Wuji, what he said is right.”
Wei Yuanyao heard Bai Junzhuo’s voice and turned to look at her.
However, people like Wei Yuanyao deserve to die. I wonder how many people died in Chang’an that day. Bai Junzhuo looked at him coldly and said, “Since we see him here now, let’s kill him on behalf of the heavens.”
Hearing Bai Junzhuo’s words, Wei Yuanyao immediately knelt down and kowtowed, “Young Master, you can’t kill this subordinate. The Lord has also delegated many matters to this subordinate. If this subordinate dies, the great cause between you and the Lord may also stagnate!”
Shen Wujie hesitated slightly, not because of what Wei Yuanyao had said, but because Wei Yuanyao was too involved and could not be easily killed.
Moreover, what he said just now had not been given too much thought. Now, calm down and think carefully. If those Ancient Fish Nation prisoners of war were really sent back, the Ancient Fish Nation would know that they were being treated inhumanely here. This would arouse the anger of the people of the Ancient Fish Nation. At that time, there would be another great war.
After thinking for a while, Shen Wujie retracted his hand and said to Wei Yuanyao, “I can not make things difficult for you, but you should not treat the prisoners of war like this again. Their food, drink and accommodation should be the same as yours. No one should bully them. I will come back in a few days to check if any of the prisoners of war are injured or dead. I will ask for you!”
Wei Yuanyao immediately said, “This subordinate obeys.”
After giving the order, Shen Wujie said to Bai Junzhuo, “Let’s leave this place first and discuss the matter of rescuing them.”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment, then nodded and left with Shen Wujie.
They walked up the circling stone stairs and opened the door on the roof. The two of them appeared in a dry well of the Zhuang Yuan Manor. It was already late and a bright moon was hanging high.
This was the first time that Bai Junzhuo felt that the sky outside was so beautiful, and that he could breathe in large mouthfuls of fresh air, as if he had come back to life.
The wooden staircase circled up the well. The two of them climbed up. After standing firm, Shen Wujie said, “From Wei Yuanyao’s performance just now, he probably didn’t know that I had secretly escaped with you, nor did he know that that person was chasing after you.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “But they knew that it was only a matter of time.”
“So let’s split up.” Shen Wujie said, “I’ll go find some token from him and trick Wei Yuanyao into letting go of these prisoners of war. Go to a dao hall outside Chang’an to save your people from Ninth King’s Mansion.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and asked, “What about Zisu? Where is Zisu locked up by you?”
Shen Wujie said, “In the dungeon of the imperial palace, then no one would have thought that Zi Shuo is safe, so you can save others first.”
“Alright.” Bai Junzhuo nodded his head and was about to leave. Shen Wujie stopped her and said, “Wait a moment.”
Bai Junzhuo turned around and said, “Is there anything else?”
“Be careful of the master of that Dao Hall. He is a confidant of that person. He is very powerful.”
Bai Junzhuo said, “Don’t worry, I will naturally be careful and won’t come into direct contact with such a person.”
The two of them then separated. Shen Wujie hurried back to Ninth King’s Mansion without stopping. However, he did not expect Wei Yuanyao to be faster than him. He had already seen His Majesty one step ahead of him.
Wei Yuanyao told His Majesty about seeing Shen Wujie in that place. His Majesty glanced at him with a slightly displeased expression. He slowly walked in front of him and said, “How are the weapons being prepared?”
Wei Yuanyao lowered his head and said, “Back to Lord, we have been preparing weapons for more than three years. The number of weapons is about the same.”
“Then go back and kill all those prisoners of war. Also, don’t leave a single one of the people in charge of the prisoners of war for this period of time. Kill them all.” The man instructed.
Wei Yuanyao thought for a moment and asked, “Are you going to get rid of everyone except the Young Master?”
The man nodded and said, “That’s right. You do it immediately.”
“Yes.” Wei Yuanyao answered and went back to work.
Not long after he left, Shen Wujie returned to Ninth King’s Mansion.
After occupying the nest, the man treated Ninth King’s Mansion as his own home, and kept the tokens and other things in the room where Yin Xun had previously lived. Shen Wujie quietly went in and looked for it. Finally, he found a jade pendant that could be used as a token. On the front of the jade pendant was the word “Yin”, and on the back was an azure dragon.
Just as he was about to leave with the jade pendant, the man appeared behind him and whispered, “This jade pendant should have been given to you.”
Shen Wujie was shocked and hurriedly turned to look at him.
“But now that you have this jade pendant, no one recognizes it. You can’t use it to get Wei Yuanyao to let go of that kind of prisoner.”
Shen Wujie gritted his teeth and said coldly, “I only said that I would help you seize the throne, but I didn’t say that I would help you do these unreasonable things. Did you personally go over and see what those prisoners of war look like? Are you still a human?”
“Women’s benevolence!” The man angrily scolded, and then said earnestly, “Wujie, since father’s goal is that position, how could he not kill people on the way? Which emperor didn’t step on a corpse? You are father’s only son, and the country of Li will one day be yours. How can you take over this world with such a kind heart?”
‘”Why not? Although she was a woman when the Empress Dowager was in power, she was wholeheartedly devoted to the people of Li Country and advocated peace. She tried her best to avoid war. During her time in power, Li Country was indeed the most prosperous country since the founding of the country.”
“But she is a woman after all. She just doesn’t have the courage to fight. If a man were in power, the territory of Li Kingdom wouldn’t be as big as it is now.” The man shook his head and said, “Moreover, she is wholeheartedly doing this for her own family. The Fu family is too powerful, and they are mixed with insects and snakes. They cannot last for long.”
“Even if you’re right, what about Yin Mu?” Shen Wujie asked, “Yin Mu is diligent, loving, benevolent, and virtuous. He is the true son of heaven. Who wouldn’t be better to be the emperor than you? If it weren’t for your desire to usurp the throne, I would have repaid your kindness in giving birth. Why would I do these things with him?”
“Yin Mu is diligent and loves the people. Is he kind and virtuous?” The man sneered, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery behind the mask.
“Isn’t that so?” Shen Wujie said to him, “Yin Mu has always been kind-hearted. When the Empress Dowager persecuted us, only Yin Mu was able to save us!”
“That’s right, you’re right. It was Yin Mu who saved us back then. However, the reason he had such a kind heart was only because he was a child.” The man smiled meaningfully and said to him, “To put it bluntly, you are arguing with me now and are no longer willing to listen to my orders. It is only because I have burned my killing intent towards Bai Junzhuo. But do you know who told me to kill Bai Junzhuo?”
“You never have to listen to anyone. It’s naturally your own idea to kill her!”
“You’re wrong,” the man shook his head. “I’ve always admired this girl. I was thinking of letting you marry Bai Junzhuo when I passed the throne to you. The person who wanted me to kill Bai Junzhuo was Yin Mu. He made a deal with me, and I had to kill Bai Junzhuo.”
“What kind of deal? Why did he kill Bai Junzhuo? Bai Junzhuo helped him do so many things, and he had worked harder than any of the officials in the court.” Shen Wujie asked doubtfully.
“That’s why Yin Mu is afraid of her.” The man said, “Even if you haven’t read the history books, you’ve heard about Liu Bang killing Han Xin and Cao Cao killing Xun Yu.”
“Han Xin and Xun Yu are all men, but Bai Junzhuo is just a woman. She only thinks about her husband and godson. What’s wrong with her? Why did Yin Mu kill her?” Shen Wujie said loudly.
The man sneered and said to Shen Wujie, “What’s the use of saying this to me? How many good things are there that can sit on the throne these days? This is the first time I’ve fought Yin Mu head-on. I’m very ashamed of myself in terms of ruthlessness and ruthlessness.”
Shen Wujie was speechless. He suddenly remembered that he had told Bai Junzhuo about Yin Xun in the Imperial Palace just now, but Bai Junzhuo did not know that Yin Mu wanted to kill her. If she entered the Imperial Palace like this …
Shen Wujie simply didn’t dare to think any further and didn’t argue with this person anymore. He turned around and walked out.
