Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Who Is His Son
Bai Junzhuo asked Madam Zou, “Grandma, what do you know about the Bai Clan scroll?”

Mrs. Zou suddenly stopped smiling and asked her in a low voice, “Back then, you knew that the things recorded on the scroll weren’t all-encompassing recipes, so you weren’t interested in it anymore. Why are you asking again now?”

“A portion of what is recorded on this scroll falls into the hands of others. That person can use this scroll to bewitch people’s hearts. It is extremely terrifying.”

Madam Zou suspected, “But even if it falls into the hands of others, the words on it are not something that ordinary people can recognize.”

When Bai Junzhuo heard what Madam Zou said, she probably didn’t know that she could display the translated Chinese version with a candle. She replied to Madam Zou, “That person recognized the words on the scroll and used this secret art on His Highness, causing him to be almost doomed. Fortunately, I managed to get the translation of the scroll by mistake and saved His Highness based on what I learned earlier.”

“Do you have a translation of that secret art?”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “Actually, as long as you burn the scroll with a candle, the translation will appear.”

Madam Zou suddenly said, “I didn’t expect that your father would have spent so much effort trying to find the translation, but you managed to crack it. Since you have the translation of the secret art, you can control it, right?”

Bai Junzhuo shook his head and said, “The vocabulary is awkward. I can only look at it roughly. I don’t know what it means or what its use is. So, Grandma, I want to know the origin of this scroll and see if I can find a way to control it.”

Madam Zou was silent for a moment before he said, “Grandma also heard about it. I wonder if it’s true or false.” I heard that this scroll was owned by the wife of the founding general, General Lu. It was written by her ancestors in extremely rare characters. Rumor has it that Madam Lu relied on this scroll to obtain the ability to bewitch people. The emperor of the Li Kingdom, the successor of the previous dynasty, was fascinated by Madam Lu because of this.

Bai Junzhuo frowned. According to her previous guess, this scroll was only about mental hypnosis. The Ancient Fish Princess was also extremely talented in psychology to be able to use it freely. However, if Madam Zou said so, wouldn’t this be just a charming technique that could seduce men?

No, it should be more than that.

Bai Junzhuo asked again, “Grandma, it must have other uses. Otherwise, why would Father have to crack it?”

Mrs. Zou nodded her head, “It is said that Madam Lu only recognized the first half of the scroll and was able to do so. The second half of the scroll records the summoning of Yin Weapons to control the corpse’s magic!”

After saying that, a gust of wind blew from outside. Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but tremble, and Nanny He hurriedly went over to close the door.

Bai Junzhuo did not believe this. He asked her, “Father has been intoxicated with medical skills all his life. Why should he study this method of summoning Yin Weapons?”

Madam Zou replied, “You should know that your father worked for the Empress Dowager, right?”

Bai Junzhuo nodded.

“Your father came to Luoyang alive from the Empress Dowager’s hands many years ago because the Empress Dowager needed him to break this scroll and summon the Dark Weapons for the Empress Dowager.” Madam Zou explained.

Bai Junzhuo sighed softly in his heart. Although the Empress Dowager was a great politician, she was not a member of the Science Party and actually believed in such nonsense as summoning Yin Weapons.

Bai Junzhuo did not provoke Mrs. Zou. He nodded and asked, “Is there anything else?”

Mrs. Zou thought carefully and whispered, “It is said that the world should be surnamed Lu. However, neither General Lu nor Madam Lu managed to crack the second half of the scroll. Instead, they were cracked by the founding emperor. The ancestral emperor summoned Yin Weapons to sit on the emperor’s throne. You can’t tell anyone about this. If you say it, you will be killed!”

Bai Junzhuo nodded solemnly and asked Madam Zou, “Then according to what Grandma said, this scroll is not in the hands of General Lu’s descendants, but should be in the hands of the Imperial Yin Clan. Why did it come to the Bai Clan and become a heirloom of the Bai Clan?”

“The Martial Emperor was seriously injured when he fought against Yu Country. Your grandfather saved his life, so he gave this scroll to your grandfather.”

“I see.” Bai Junzhuo nodded and asked, “Does grandma know anything else?”

Madam Zou shook his head and said, “I told you everything I know.”

Bai Junzhuo thought about Madam Zou’s words carefully. That summoning of Yin Weapons was definitely a miscommunication. No matter how awesome this secret technique was, it was impossible to control a dead person. However, judging from the importance that celebrities of this era attach to this scroll, its ability should not be underestimated.

Just as he was thinking, a maidservant knocked on the door and said, “Lord Cha sent someone to deliver this to the Ninth Princess.”

Bai Junzhuo asked the maidservant to hand it over to him. He took it and saw that it was a very exquisite peach wooden box with gold inlaid on the side.

Madam Zou asked curiously, “Why did Lord Tea give you this?”

“Lord Cha asked me to help him find out his background. I thought that Ninth Prince has a lot of connections and should be able to find him very soon.”

Madam Zou nodded and looked at the box. “The totem on the box and the gold rim look like they came from the palace.”

Bai Junzhuo took a closer look and nodded, “I also feel that it looks familiar.”

“Since Lord Cha asked you, you can take it down and call the Ninth Prince to take a look.”

“Well,” Bai Junzhuo stood up, “then I’ll go over first and accompany Grandma in the evening.”

Madam Zou smiled and nodded.

After that, Bai Junzhuo went to Yin Xun and told him about the matter. Yin Xun looked at the box and said, “This is indeed the craft of the palace.”

Bai Junzhuo asked curiously, “Could it be that Cha Jinzhi is also a prince? Only after thinking about it did he realize that his eyebrows also have the characteristics of the Yin Family.”

‘”It can’t be the prince,” Yin Xun shook his head. “If it’s Second Brother … No, it should be Third Brother. If he hasn’t died, he should be the same age as Royal Brother. As for Cha Jinzhi, he’s obviously much younger than Royal Brother. Cha Jinzhi should probably be about the same age as Shen Wujie.”

“Then why is the token left to him by his parents something from the palace?” Bai Junzhuo asked, and his mind couldn’t help but open wide, “Could it be that his mother is a palace maid in the palace? After being pregnant with your father, she was afraid that the concubine would deal with her, so she stole the things in the palace and ran out. She gave birth to Cha Jinzhi, and then threw him to some Lord Liu?”

Yin Xun lightly tapped her head and said, “Father Emperor won’t mess with the palace maids.”

Bai Junzhuo rubbed his head and said, “I was just guessing.”

Yin Xun was speechless as he asked her, “Can you open the box? See what else is inside?”

Bai Junzhuo opened the top button and opened the box. There was only a piece of yellow silk cloth in the box.

Yin Xun glanced at the piece of silk cloth and said, “Yellow cloth can only be used by the royal family. If Cha Jinzhi was carried by this person and thrown to Liu Hong when he was young, Liu Hong would dare to accept it. Raising him is really bold.”

“Perhaps Lord Liu is too kind-hearted? If you see a baby at your feet, would you have the heart not to take it?”

Yin Xun thought to himself, “If I throw him at my feet, I’ll probably kick him away …”

Bai Junzhuo picked up the piece of silk cloth and saw that there was a peony embroidered on the surface, with the word “Zi” embroidered underneath.

“Huh?” In the end, Yin Xun looked at the silk cloth thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to Bai Junzhuo, “The Yin family of Baoyu’s generation is of the ‘King’ generation, and their names all carry the word ‘King’.”

Bai Junzhuo was shocked, “So, if he is related to the Yin family, he is one generation behind you? But judging from his age, he can only be the son of your eldest royal brother, but Yin Ji’s son is Shen Wujie.”

Yin Xun stared at the silk cloth with his chin propped up for a while and said, “Which do you think looks more like the Yin Family, Shen Wujie or Cha Jinzhi?”

Bai Junzhuo said, “I’ve seen Princess Jinnan. Princess Jinnan is slender and gentle. Shen Wujie is simply carved from the same mold as her. And your Yin family are all real men. Their outlines are like knives and axes. Especially Yin Ji is the thickest of them all. Why would he give birth to a son like Shen Wujie? Therefore, I think it’s more like Cha Jin.”

Yin Xun nodded and said, “I also feel that Shen Wujie doesn’t look like Yin Ji’s son.”

“So, you’re saying that Cha Jinzhi is Yin Ji’s son, Yin Ling?” Bai Junzhuo asked him.

“It’s only possible,” Yin Xun said to her. “We don’t know much about this matter. We shouldn’t make any rash judgments. When we get back to Chang’an after the war, we’ll go ask the Prince and his wife of Jinnan.”

“Yes.” Bai Junzhuo nodded and frowned, “Does Yin Ji have to involve his son in his conspiracy? If I were him, I would rather hide my son. If I fail, my bloodline will not die with me.”

“It’s also possible. He is the one who has seen through everything. He knows that Cha Jinzhi is his biological son, but he deliberately ignored him. Instead, he went to Shen Wujie and bewitched him, asking him to rebel with him.”

Bai Junzhuo said, “I’m very curious about what Yin Ji told Shen Wujie back then. How did Shen Wujie believe that he was his son?”

“There must be evidence that I have to believe,” Yin Mu said. “I know Shen Wujie. He is not someone who trusts others easily.”

Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “Alright, since we’ve decided to ask the Jinnan Wang couple in the future, let’s not make wild guesses.”

Yin Mu nodded.

As the two of them spoke, the sky gradually darkened. Bai Junzhuo went to accompany Madam Zou for a while at night. When she came out of Madam Zou’s room, she met Bai Junlan. She smiled faintly at Bai Junzhuo, just like when she met her in the Buddhist temple.

She stepped forward and said, “How is little sister?”

Bai Junzhuo nodded, “Please take care of me. I’m fine.”

Bai Junlan sighed and said, “Remember when I met you in Chang’an Buddhist Temple, I asked you if Second Uncle, Mother, and Eldest Sister were all alright. You told me that they were all alright.”

Bai Junzhuo was a little embarrassed and said to her, “Actually I …”

“I know that you are doing this out of kindness, and you want to reassure me.” Bai Junlan smiled at her and said, “Life is fickle. Everyone will die. The sadness will be over. I won’t be unable to see through it.”

Bai Junzhuo heaved a sigh of relief.

“However, I just don’t know,” Bai Junlan’s tone suddenly turned cold for a moment. “How did they die?” She asked.
