Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 244
Chapter 244 On the Other Hand, It Was Hongyan
In the Imperial Study Room of the Western Inner Court, Yin Mu was looking at the battle report sent over from the border, and the more he flipped through it, the more he felt a splitting headache.
Fu Mingyue rubbed his temples and asked softly, “Your Majesty, you’ve been reading this letter all day. Why don’t you take a rest first?”
“This is not the only thing I have a headache …” Yin Mu said and closed his mouth. He did not intend to say anything more than Fu Mingyue.
Zhao Chang hurriedly rushed in from outside the hall and said to Yin Mu, “Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess has entered the palace alone. Should I bring her to Your Majesty’s side?”
When Fu Mingyue and Yin Mu heard this, their bodies stiffened.
Yin Mu slowly opened his eyes and said, “Go and bring her over.”
“Yes.” Chief Zhao replied and retreated.
Fu Mingyue lowered her head and did not say anything, and the movements of her hands did not continue.
Yin Mu said to her, “I heard that not long ago, she left Chang’an to look for Zi Shuo and gave birth to her child during this period of time.”
“So His Majesty wants to kill her today?” Fu Mingyue looked up at him and said.
Yin Mu rubbed Fu Mingyue’s side face and nodded, “In the Battle of the Southern Region, I intend to defend myself. Before that, all hidden dangers in Chang’an City must be solved immediately.”
Fu Mingyue sighed softly, “This concubine still doesn’t know where Bai Baijun Zhuo is threatening His Majesty’s position.”
Yin Mu pursed her lips. Fu Mingyue held his right hand with both of her hands and said, “However, His Majesty must have a reason to kill her for the good of the world. His Majesty is always right.”
“What if it’s not for the sake of the world, but for the sake of selfishness?” Yin Mu asked her.
Fu Mingyue tightened her grip and asked him, “Since it’s only a private matter, why is His Majesty not willing to let her go?”
Yin Mu did not reply. At this time, Zhao Chang had already walked in and said to him, “Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess has brought him here.”
Hearing this, Fu Mingyue’s eyes involuntarily turned red. She said to Yin Mu, “Your Majesty, can this concubine avoid me for a moment?”
Yin Mu nodded. Fu Mingyue stood up and walked behind the white veil.
Only then did Yin Mu wave his hand and let Zhao Chang go out and bring Bai Junzhuo in.
Zhao Chang retreated. Not long after, Bai Junzhuo walked in alone and bowed slightly to Yin Mu. Before Yin Mu could wake her up, he said, “Your Majesty, many things have happened recently. I’ll tell you slowly in the future. I’m here because Zisu is locked up in the dungeon of the Imperial Palace. Quickly ask someone to release him!”
“Are you ordering me?” Yin Mu said coldly.
Bai Junzhuo was stunned. When she first saw Yin Mu, she was frightened by Yin Mu’s dismounting power. When she spoke to him, she should be more respectful. Later, she discovered that although Yin Mu was an emperor, he didn’t have any temper. She didn’t care about etiquette when she talked to him.
Now that he had said this, Bai Junzhuo thought that he had suddenly lost his mind. However, he was at least an emperor, so it was understandable that he had a strange temper. She lowered her head and said, “I don’t dare. I just want to save the Ninth Prince.”
Yin Mu looked at her and asked, “Who has the ability to trace back to the dungeon of the imperial palace? Furthermore, who can hide it from me?”
Hearing his question, Bai Junzhuo thought in his heart that he absolutely couldn’t confess Shen Wujie. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
Yin Mu’s face suddenly turned cold and he said to her, “You don’t know? Then why do you know that Zisu is in the dungeon? From my point of view, you are colluding with outsiders in an attempt to assassinate Zisu, right?”
Bai Junzhuo wanted to laugh and muttered, “Your Majesty’s acting skills are getting better and better. If I don’t know, I would think that Your Majesty is going to kill me next.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Yin Mu raised his hand and said, “Someone, take her down.”
Immediately, a guard rushed out from the hall to capture Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo was shocked. He hurriedly hid from them and asked Yin Mu, “Your Majesty, what are you playing with? Don’t do this. I’ll be scared out of my wits by you!”
Yin Mu stroked his eyes, and his tone didn’t show any strange emotions. He ordered, “Die.”
After saying that, all the guards pulled out their sabers. Only then did Bai Junzhuo react. This was not a drill, Yin Mu really wanted to do it!
Bai Junzhuo looked at the surrounding formation. If he were to forcefully attack, he would definitely not be able to escape. He then stood up and looked at Yin Mu and said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know what I did wrong. If you want to kill my wife, please tell me clearly. As long as I know where I was wrong, I will definitely die without complaint.”
Yin Mu removed his hand from her eyes and looked at her, “Didn’t I just say that you colluded with outsiders to assassinate Zisu?”
“Attempted assassination?” Bai Junzhuo sneered, “Not to mention that His Majesty knows how I feel about Zi Shuo, this official woman wants to ask, do you have any evidence? Or do you think that an emperor is capable of killing innocents?”
Yin Mu said coldly, “Even if there is no reason and no evidence, could it be that I want to kill you?”
Bai Junzhuo was speechless at his shameless remarks.
Just as she was at a loss, she suddenly heard Zhao Chang shouting, “Ninth Prince, you can’t go in!”
How could he stop Yin Xun? Just as he finished speaking, Yin Xun had already walked in. Seeing Bai Junzhuo here, he wanted to speak to her. He also discovered that the guards in the hall were facing Bai Junzhuo’s swords and blades. His expression immediately turned cold and he asked Yin Mu, “Royal Brother, what are you doing?”
When Bai Jun Zhuo saw that he was here, he was so excited that tears almost filled his eyes. He threw himself into Yin Xun’s embrace. Before he could complain, he heard Yin Mu say, “There are assassins in the hall. I called them in to catch the assassins.”
Bai Junzhuo turned to look at him. Yin Mu had already recovered his original expression. He stood up and walked to Yin Xun’s side, asking him, “Zisu, where have you been these past few days? I heard that you have amnesia, but have you recovered now?”
Hearing his explanation, Yin Xun did not doubt him. He honestly replied, “Yes, I have recovered. Brother, I have something important to tell you!”
“I also have something urgent to discuss with you,” Yin Mu waved his hand and said, “Bring the Ninth Princess down first.”
The guards obeyed and went forward to grab Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo struggled and said, “Let go of me! I’m not going down with you!”
“Wait for me outside first.” Yin Xun said to her, “Don’t worry, with me here, if anyone causes you a slight injury, I won’t spare him no matter who he is.”
Yin Mu’s body trembled, and then he smiled and said, “What did Ninth Brother say? Is there anyone else in the palace who dares to hurt Ninth Brother?”
Hearing Yin Xun’s words, Bai Junzhuo felt relieved and nodded as he followed the guards out.
Only after the two brothers were left in the hall did Yin Mu say, “Zisu, what happened during this period of time?”
“It’s a long story,” Yin Xun said. “I’ll talk to Royal Brother slowly in the future when I’m free. What matters now is the Battle of the Southern Region.”
“You already know?” Yin Mu looked at him and asked.
Yin Xun nodded, “What does Royal Brother plan to do?”
Yin Mu sat down and said, “I intend to lead my troops on a personal expedition.”
“What about the matters in the court?” Yin Xun asked again, “Brother Huang doesn’t have a reliable civil servant. If we leave like this, Chang’an will be empty, and internal strife will surely arise.”
Yin Mu didn’t say a word and only looked at Yin Xun.
Yin Xun was stunned and hurriedly said, “Royal Brother, don’t even think about leaving the matters of the court to me. I don’t know anything about this, but if you want to go to war with Royal Brother, you can still do it.”
“You don’t know anything about government, but that princess of yours is very good at it. If you hand over the world to her, she will definitely not be much inferior to me.” Yin Mu smiled and said, “Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager was originally Uncle Huan’s princess, but her father took a fancy to her and snatched her away. This caused the Fu Clan to be in power for twenty years.”
Hearing this, Fu Mingyue immediately understood everything. She immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.
Yin Xun didn’t react for a moment. He asked, “Why did Royal Brother say that? Jun Zhuo definitely doesn’t have any interest in this world. Moreover, their Bai Family members are all withered. Even if she really wants to develop her own power, she only has one brother.”
Yin Mu said, “Then Zisu, do you still remember when you were a child, Wu Guogong brought a tiger over? You and I both like it very much. Father Emperor did not know who to reward, but that tiger died afterwards?”
Yin Xun shook his head and said, “I guess I was too young at that time. I don’t remember this anymore. All I remember is that you treated me like a brother to a mother from childhood. You will let me have whatever I want.”
“That’s because you never liked what I really wanted.” Yin Mu suddenly laughed and said to Yin Xun, “Zisu, that tiger was poisoned to death by me back then. Later, I sent someone to skin it and make clothes for you. You know that tiger is dead, and you even cried for a while.”
Yin Xun still shook his head, “I really don’t remember. But why is Royal Brother talking about this now?”
“Right, now is not the time to talk about this.” Yin Mu thought for a moment and said to him, “I plan to let Bai Xu come back and take care of the country with Lu Kang. Follow me on the expedition.”
Yin Xun only thought for a moment before nodding, “Alright.”
“I’ve already sent someone to pick up Bai Xu and have him come back as soon as possible. You go back to the palace first and wait for him. When he comes back, the two brothers will go out to war and let the Southern Barbarians experience the power of the Yin Family.”
Yin Xun nodded, just in time to settle the score with Shen Wujie.
After a while, Yin Xun left, and Fu Mingyue slowly walked out from behind the curtain.
“You heard everything?” Yin Mu did not look at her and only asked.
Fu Mingyue nodded and said to him, “Indeed, this concubine understands His Majesty better. The Ninth Prince does not know what His Majesty means, but this concubine knows.”
“Oh? What do you know?” Yin Mu asked curiously.
“I know why His Majesty wants to kill Bai Junzhuo.”
“Tell me.”
Fu Mingyue lowered her head. Yin Mu could not see her expression.
The corner of her mouth curved into a smile, but it was even more melancholy. She raised her head and asked him, “Your Majesty, you are in love with Bai Junzhuo, aren’t you?”
