Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 251

Chapter 251 Baoyu Was Abducted
At the time of departure, a drizzle suddenly fell on Chang’an City, and the grey-shrouded Chang’an City had quite a bit of artistic conception.

Bai Junzhuo personally brought Baoyu to find Lu Kang. At the corner of the street just before he arrived at Lu Kang’s mansion, he saw Lu Kang holding a paper fan waiting for her.

He walked to Bai Junzhuo’s side and whispered, “The princess just walked out without holding an umbrella.”

“Spring rain is like crisp, why are you holding an umbrella?” Bai Junzhuo looked at the sleeping Baoyu in his arms and said to him, “I don’t know when this expedition will return, but I’ll leave the Baoyu to you to take care of.”

Lu Kang took the jade and sighed, “Actually, you don’t have to follow them. You can stay and take care of her.”

Bai Junzhuo smiled and shook his head. “I’m worried about Zisu.”

Lu Kang didn’t say anything else. He looked at the sleeping face of the child in his arms and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Don’t worry. With me here, Baoyu will definitely not have anything to do with him.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and looked at the precious jade for a long time before turning around. After leaving the alley entrance, Bai Junzhuo wiped his eyes and said to himself, “Why are you sad? It’s not like you won’t come.”

Lu Kang also waited until he couldn’t see her figure before turning around and leaving. However, he did not walk towards his own mansion. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction.

He walked to a hidden place and saw the person hiding under the raincoat. He reached out and tugged at his face. The human skin and mask fell, revealing another face.

“Master, the child has already been brought over,” he said as he walked forward with Baoyu in his arms.

At this moment, Baoyu also woke up. When she woke up, she saw that the person holding her was not Bai Junzhuo, but an unfamiliar man. She immediately pouted unhappily, but did not cry.

Another person took it and looked into Baoyu’s flawless eyes. Her obsidian-like pupils reflected a face that was riddled with holes. An ordinary child would have cried in fright, but Baoyu did not. She only revealed a curious expression.

Yin Ji smiled faintly. His departing mouth looked even more sinister and frightening. He touched Baoyu’s face and said, “Ninth brother’s child really looks like him.”

At noon, Yin Mu and the others left Chang’an City with their troops. Mo Ying was told to take care of Baoyu with Lu Kang, so he went to Lu Kang’s mansion. Huang Li also insisted on following, so he could only bring Huang Li with him.

Seeing Lu Kang, Mo Ying said, “I came to take care of Baoyu on the orders of the princess. Where is she?”

Lu Kang was slightly stunned and asked, “Didn’t you agree to send it over?”

“This morning, the princess personally gave you the precious jade.” Mo Ying’s heart tightened and he immediately said, “Is something wrong?”

Lu Kangning pondered for a moment and said to him, “The princess shouldn’t give the child to someone she doesn’t know. Someone must have pretended to be me and kidnapped the child.”

“What should I do? Should I immediately catch up with the princess and tell him about this?” Mo Ying said anxiously.

“No,” Lu Kang shook his head. “The Battle of the Southern Region cannot be delayed for a day. Moreover, His Majesty needs His Highness and His Highness to make this trip.”

Mo Ying paced back and forth twice and said to him, “I’m going to search the city now. I have to find Little Treasure Jade!”

Lu Kang nodded, “I’ll go discuss with Bai Xu and see if we can seal the city.”

After the two of them finished speaking, they immediately split up and began to move.

In order to find the precious jade, Bai Xu and Lu Kang temporarily sealed Chang’an City. Mo Ying searched for a long time without any clues.

Lu Kang planned to send his troops to search every house in Hong Yin’s hands and asked Mo Ying, “Is there anything special about Bao Yu? For example, birthmarks, moles, and so on?”

Mo Ying thought for a while and replied, “It doesn’t seem so. Her only characteristic is that she doesn’t like to cry. Especially since she opened her eyes to see this world, she hasn’t cried no matter what.”

This is hard to do. I can’t see a girl. Let’s just slap her and see if she’s crying, shall we?

However, no matter how difficult it was, they still had to find them. Lu Kang ordered those people to bring all the girls and babies who didn’t like crying here. They were busy working until midnight, and they also found a few of them. However, these children didn’t cry at home. Once they arrived at Lu Kang, they all started crying loudly.

Mo Ying also looked at them one by one and said no.

Lu Kang had no choice but to order his men to return all the children.

Just as he was at a loss, a guard suddenly reported that someone had requested to see him.

Whoever came to see him at this time was most likely related to the whereabouts of the precious jade. Lu Kang asked someone to let him in.

The person who came was Yin Ji. He didn’t wear a mask, and Lu Kang recognized him immediately.

Without waiting for Lu Kang to speak, he said, “In order to find that child, you also sealed Chang’an City?”

Lu Kang thought for a moment and replied, “No, His Majesty ordered a curfew before.”

Yin Ji smiled faintly and said to him, “Yin Mu used to curfew to guard against me. Now that I’ve been defeated by him, he lifted the curfew.” He paused for a moment and then said, “I have Baoyu’s child, but don’t worry, I won’t hurt her. As long as you let me safely arrive at Qingzhou, I will send someone to give her to you.”

Lu Kang frowned slightly and said, “Are you going to Qingzhou with Baoyu? That’s your territory. After you and your men meet up, how do I know if you will send Baoyu back to Chang’an?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can send troops along with me. It’s best to send more troops along with you.” Yin Ji stared at Lu Kang and said.

“Now that His Majesty is not here, there are very few trustworthy people in the court. How can I go to Qingzhou with you at this time?”

Yin Ji said helplessly, “This is something you are unwilling to do.”

“You!”

“Let him go. I will personally bring the precious jade back.” Just as Lu Kang was about to speak, another voice suddenly came out. From the looks of it, it was Shen Wujie.

Lu Kang glanced at him and said, “Where did the Crown Prince of Jinnan get the face to ensure that you would return safely after you went to Qingzhou?”

“Of course I have face,” Shen Wujie pointed at Yin Ji and said, “I am his biological son. Do you think I have face?”

Lu Kang hadn’t expected Shen Wujie to be Yin Ji’s child. However, Shen Wujie was a person that he understood. Whether he was telling the truth or not, for the time being, his friendship with Yin Xun over the years was absolutely true. He definitely wouldn’t watch Yin Xun’s child get hurt.

Moreover, the only person who could not delay the government of Chang’an and ensure the safety of Baoyu was Shen Wujie, who had “died” a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Lu Kang nodded and said, “With Prince Jin Nan’s guarantee, I am naturally relieved. However, I have one condition: I must send the child back before His Highness and Princess return.”

Shen Wujie nodded his head, “From Chang’an to Qingzhou, five days of fast horsewhip is enough, so I will definitely send the precious jade back within ten days.”

Hearing what he said, Lu Kang nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Yin Ji and the others left Chang’an overnight.

Bai Junzhuo was completely unaware that his child had fallen into the hands of others. After traveling with everyone for a day, he found a place to camp and rest.

At this moment, Yin Mu and the others were discussing government affairs. She ran to Fu Mingyue’s tent and Fu Mingyue teased her. Bai Junzhuo stared at her with his chin propped up. “Why did you bring the consonance over? It’s still so small. Don’t you think he’s in the way?”

Fu Mingyue helplessly glanced at Bai Junzhuo and said to her, “It’s not like you’re going to fight on the battlefield. Why should you despise the child for getting in her way?”

“Anyway, I didn’t feel safe with the child, so I threw the precious jade to Lu Kang.” Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment and then said, “This is the first time I know that war can bring family. In our … I heard that there can’t be any women in the barracks. If they do, it would be a violation of military discipline and they would be killed.”

Fu Mingyue smiled and said, “You heard from the men’s country, right? Didn’t you see that the most powerful general in this dynasty is a woman? Moreover, it’s not just the Li country that will bring their families with them during the war, it’s also the Gu Yu and other countries.”

Bai Junzhuo thought of the prisoners he had seen before. He thought about it as well. If they hadn’t brought their families to battle together, they wouldn’t have fallen to such a miserable state.

Bai Junzhuo opened the tent and looked at the other side. He said to Fu Mingyue, “I wonder what His Majesty and the generals have said for so long.”

Fu Mingyue coaxed Consonance into falling asleep and whispered to Bai Junzhuo, “You, why are you always worrying about this? You are at most a military doctor in this war. Can you still come up with a plan to become a military advisor?”

“Why not?” Bai Junzhuo asked, “Maybe I can think of some tactics that men can’t think of. Neither can the enemy. Then we’ll win.”

Fu Mingyue looked up at her for a long time, until Bai Junzhuo touched her face and asked, “What’s wrong? There’s something on my face?”

“Didn’t you know that His Majesty had a murderous intent towards you earlier?” Fu Mingyue asked coldly.

Bai Junzhuo’s expression stiffened, then he nodded and said, “Of course I know.”

“Then do you know why His Majesty wants to kill you?”

Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, “Could it be that you want to say that because I know too much and have done too much, he is afraid of me, afraid that I will rebel, so he wants to kill me?”

Fu Mingyue nodded and said, “What else?”

Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “Mingyue, did you guess this, or did he tell you?”

Fu Mingyue did not answer directly and asked, “Does it matter?”

Bai Junzhuo said, “No matter what, this is definitely not the real reason why he wants to kill me.” Think about it, my Zisu is so loyal and patriotic, how could he allow me to rebel? Besides, I’m not his concubine, so he doesn’t have to worry about me becoming a person like the Empress Dowager. Most importantly, the Bai Clan had been selling medicines for generations, and only Bai Xu had appeared in this generation as an official. “How much of a storm can the two of us create?”

Hearing Bai Junzhuo’s analysis, Fu Mingyue could not say anything else. In terms of politics, Bai Junzhuo knew much more than she thought.

Bai Junzhuo sighed again and said, “So I don’t know what’s wrong with His Majesty. Why do you insist on killing me?”

“Since you want to know so much, why don’t you just ask me directly?” Suddenly, Yin Mu’s voice came from behind him. Bai Junzhuo was shocked and hurriedly turned to look at him.

He was standing behind him, looking down at him condescendingly.
