Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 256
Chapter 256 Golden Orchid Friendship
“How did they die?” Bai Junlan asked coldly.
Bai Junzhuo was stunned for a moment. Hearing Bai Junlan’s tone, she already knew everything and wanted to settle the score with her. She had no idea how to respond to her.
Bai Junlan held her hands and stared at Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo remembered that in modern times, every time the counselor caught him cheating in the exam, he was in the same mood as he was now. He didn’t know if he should apologize first or find an excuse to refuse.
However, the problem she is facing now is much more serious than cheating in the exam. In fact, she really wanted to maintain a good relationship with her sister, Bai Junlan. After all, she only had a few relatives here.
After thinking for a while, she finally said to Bai Junlan, “I’m sorry, Second Sister. Although I didn’t personally kill them, they were also related to me. I hope you can forgive me …”
Bai Junlan laughed coldly and said, “Forgive me? What qualifications do I have to forgive you, Ninth Princess? The ones who died were just a few insignificant ordinary people. You are a noble Ninth Princess. What’s wrong with killing a few people?”
Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “I never thought of using the identity of the Ninth Princess to oppress anyone. Furthermore, when I was in Luoyang, I didn’t know the identity of the Ninth Prince.”
“No matter what, you still …”
Bai Junzhuo didn’t give Bai Junlan the chance to speak. He raised his eyes and said, “Then let me tell you about Bai Juntao’s death first. Bai Juntao was killed by Second Uncle’s subordinates when she wanted to harm me. You can’t be clearer about what kind of person Bai Juntao and I are. Do you think I would take the initiative to harm her?”
Bai Junlan did not know much about the current Bai Junzhuo, but she did know about the little white rabbit-like Bai Junzhuo from before. She really did not like to compete and was an honest person. As for Bai Juntao, she was competitive, jealous, and didn’t have much ability. She was indeed easy to lose.
“Let’s talk about Concubine Lin again.” Bai Junzhuo said, “Concubine Lin can’t stand Bai Juntao’s death and is crazy. She was killed by His Highness’s guards when she wanted to kill me. If you think that I gave her death, I have nothing to say.”
Bai Junlan pursed her lips. Before hurting anyone, the guards of the Ninth Prince killed to protect them. This was reasonable even in the laws of the Li Kingdom.
“As for Second Uncle, he did a terrible thing that could kill the nine races. He sold and sold cold food and went to prison. He was afraid that his family would be implicated, so he decided to commit suicide in prison.” Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment and said, “That’s what happened. What you think is your business.”
Bai Junlan smiled bitterly and said, “Naturally, it’s not your fault.”
Bai Junzhuo said helplessly, “You weren’t there at that time, but Grandma was there. Grandma loves her family more than anyone else. If I really killed them, would Grandma treat me so well now?”
Bai Junlan opened her mouth, but in the end, she had nothing to say.
Bai Junzhuo stepped forward and held her hand. “Second sister, the Bai Clan doesn’t have much bloodline left. Even if it was really my fault, can you forgive me? I really want to get along well with you. In the future, when we live in two separate places, we can think of another place with our own relatives. There are people we can miss. So much happiness.”
Bai Junlan couldn’t help but cry, “Actually, I always knew that it wasn’t your fault. When my mother and second uncle wanted to deal with you, I couldn’t bear it, but I … I … I’m sorry, sister …”
Bai Junzhuo raised his hand and hugged her, patting her back and saying, “It doesn’t matter. After all, we are blood sisters of the Bai Clan. There’s nothing that we can’t do.”
Bai Junlan nodded her head vigorously, tears streaming down her eyes. She let go of her hand and wiped her eyes. She said to Bai Junzhuo, “Sister is right. No matter whose fault it was before, it is all a thing of the past. We are still alive. We are still blood sisters of the Bai Family, so we should support each other.”
Bai Junzhuo heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Bai Junlan was a reasonable person, unlike Bai Juntao … Forget it, the deceased is gone, so don’t think about it anymore.
After silently crying for a while, Bai Junlan seemed to be in a better mood. She then said to Bai Junzhuo, “I heard that you are leaving the Bai Manor the day after tomorrow. Why are you so anxious?”
Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “I don’t want His Majesty to insist that we catch up with the army within three days.”
Bai Junlan was also slightly disappointed. She said, “I still want my sister to stay for a few more days before leaving after drinking Lord Cha and I’s wedding banquet.”
“Why don’t I …” Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment and said to her, “I’ll go tell His Highness and ask him to pass a letter to His Majesty to plead for mercy. Let’s see if we can stay a few more days.”
Bai Junlan nodded and said, “This is very good. Sister, go.”
Bai Junzhuo separated from Bai Junlan. After Bai Junzhuo went back and told Yin Xun, Yin Xun rejected her without hesitation and said, “No.”
Bai Junzhuo pleaded, “The two of us were originally accompanying us in the war. You are not a general. Without your Yin Clan army, we would still be able to fight!”
Yin Xun looked up at her and said, “Who told you I’m not a general?”
Bai Junzhuo asked in surprise, “Could it be that you are? Did Yin Mu even make you the Little Pioneer Captain?”
Yin Xun said helplessly, “How long has it been since you went to court?”
“Thinking about it carefully, it seems like I only have the first day of the official title.” Bai Junzhuo replied seriously.
“When you come back from the war, you can go to the Imperial Court.” Yin Xun said, “You are an official anyway. You have to ask about the affairs of the country while eating the salary of the official family.”
Bai Junzhuo was surprised. It turned out that what she had always eaten was not the money of her family’s Master Yin, but her own salary as an official!
“Right, there’s another reason why we have to make peace with the Royal Brotherhood.” Yin Xun said to her, “Wu Country has taken over the trade route that I just opened to Shu Country, and has hindered me from making money. This debt cannot be counted.”
Bai Junzhuo had no choice but to compromise. Actually, this was the main reason, wasn’t it?
After staying in the Bai Manor for another day, Bai Junzhuo left the Bai Manor quietly on the morning of the third day, fearing that he would be injured and leave. After running non-stop all day, he finally caught up with the army at dusk.
Fu Mingyue had been waiting in front of the tent long ago. Seeing Bai Junzhuo and Yin Xun get off their horses and nod slightly at Yin Xun, she went over to hug Bai Junzhuo and said, “You’re back.”
Bai Junzhuo also hugged her and smiled, “It’s only been three days. Look at how anxious you are.”
“Aren’t I worried about you?” Fu Mingyue smiled at her and pulled her to the side. “I made some food for you.”
Bai Junzhuo turned to look at Yin Xun and quietly asked Fu Mingyue, “Is there anything for my prince?”
Fu Mingyue shook her head and said, “I’m only in charge of you. Ask your highness to eat from the big pot. He has nothing to do with me.”
Bai Junzhuo was amused by her words, so he threw Yin Xun aside and walked towards her tent with Fu Mingyue.
Fu Mingyue saw that she was smiling and said, “We have a good relationship, but it’s none of our business. I’ve never been at odds with your highness. This can’t affect my relationship with you in the slightest, can it?”
“Of course!” Bai Junzhuo blurted out these words. After she finished speaking, she began to recall Fu Mingyue’s words carefully … Was she blaming herself for being too close to Yin Mu?
However, this had nothing to do with her. It was Yin Mu who insisted on pestering her.
No, I can’t let Fu Mingyue think about her like that. There must be no gap between the two of them. She finally had a girlfriend. If there was a gap because of the man’s problem, it would be her failure as a person.
When the two entered the tent, Yin Mu happened to be there as well. Seeing Bai Jun burning over, they smiled at her and said, “Are you back?”
Bai Junzhuo was stunned. He hurriedly let go of Fu Mingyue’s hand and bowed, “This official woman kowtowed to His Majesty.”
When Yin Mu saw her salute so much, he reached out to help her. Bai Junzhuo deliberately dodged Yin Mu’s hand.
Yin Mu was stunned for a moment, then he said, “Don’t bother. We are not the Emperor, we are the Commander-in-Chief. You don’t need to bother with such a big bow every time we send troops to fight.”
Bai Junzhuo stood up and lowered his head, “Your Majesty has taught me a lesson. I will remember it next time.”
Yin Mu saw that her attitude was still so unfamiliar and speechless, so he could only say to Fu Mingyue, “I still have things to attend to. Let’s go out for a while.”
Fu Mingyue nodded and buttoned up the buttons between his generals, saying, “It’s getting late. Your Majesty, come back and rest early.”
When Yin Mu walked out, Bai Junzhuo turned to peek at Fu Mingyue. Seeing her smiling face, he knew that she was satisfied with her performance just now.
Fu Daoyi pulled Bai Junjun to the side of the table, picked up a bowl and gave her a sumptuous meal, and said, “Hurry up and eat. I personally made this for you. You must finish it.”
Bai Junzhuo took the bowl and chopsticks, took two absent-mindedly, and finally said to Fu Mingyue, “Mingyue, are you mistaken about me?”
Fu Mingyue was stunned and asked, “What did you misunderstand?”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment. He didn’t know how to say those words beautifully and obscurely. He could only say in plain English, “Do you think I’m seducing your Majesty?”
Fu Mingyue suddenly clenched her hands and immediately loosened her grip. “What are you talking about? I know more about your friendship with the Ninth Prince than anyone else. How can I suspect that you have feelings for His Majesty?”
Bai Junzhuo heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you believe me. It seems that I’m too sensitive. I thought you were going to misunderstand me.”
Fu Mingyue lowered her head and poured herself a glass of wine. She slowly said, “How could it be? I don’t know … Even if there’s something wrong, it’s still someone else’s fault. You’re always right.”
Bai Junzhuo was slightly absent-minded. She did not seem to understand Fu Mingyue’s words.
The meal was finished in such uneasiness. When Bai Junzhuo bid farewell to Fu Mingyue, Yin Mu had not returned to the tent.
As soon as she went out, she saw a campfire not far away. All the soldiers gathered in a circle and laughed loudly.
Bai Junzhuo caught a glimpse of Yin Mu amongst the group of soldiers, fighting with everyone.
Yin Mu really wasn’t a Wen Emperor who only knew how to play politics and memorize the dao of running a country. He could put down his body and freely argue with people of any status. He could call anyone his brother. No matter how bad his heart was, at least he did it well on the surface. Everyone believed him. Her family’s Master Yin could not do this.
Sigh, if one day he wanted to poke Yin Xun and usurp the throne, he might not be able to defeat Yin Mu.
Just as Bai Junzhuo was absorbed in his thoughts, a fireball suddenly flew straight towards him from the group of people.
