Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Everyone Was Full of Ghosts
After everyone boarded the ship, Fu Mingyue was on guard against a few local people and said to Yin Mu, “Your Majesty, our operation this time is of great importance. Isn’t it inappropriate to let these people board the ship?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Yin Mu said. “The old fisherman also said that the water near Hanzhong is easy to get lost. We need the local people to take care of it. If we don’t look for them, it will be easy to attract attention.”

Fu Mingyue paused for a moment and whispered, “Your Majesty is right, this concubine is overthinking things.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s always good to be careful.” After Yin Mu finished speaking to her, his gaze drifted towards Bai Junzhuo, who was standing outside the cabin with Yin Xun at the bow of the ship, and he muttered, “How can she always be so carefree?”

Fu Mingyue’s heart followed Yin Mu’s gaze and replied, “It’s probably because the person she loves loves her wholeheartedly.”

Yin Mu didn’t seem to hear her words.

Fu Mingyue let out a low sigh and turned around to arrange things for Fang Yi and the others.

Outside, Bai Junzhuo looked around and admired the ancient shipbuilding industry. No wonder the whole world admired Chinese technology when Zheng He sailed to the West, and she admired it now.

Seeing her like this, Yin Xun teased, “This is your first time on a boat?”

Bai Junzhuo glanced at him and said, “Of course not. I even sat on the boat you gave Feng Yudie.”

“That boat is just a small toy for fun. This is the first time you’ve taken a boat that can carry thousands of people, right?”

“That’s right, let alone this is the first time I’ve sat on a ship like this. Even that boat, I was able to sit on it thanks to Feng Yudie’s blessing.” Bai Junzhuo pretended to be angry and said, “You haven’t even given me a boat.”

Yin Xun couldn’t help but laugh, “You even gave birth to a child, yet you’re still jealous of this age. Isn’t it embarrassing? If you want it, my money is all yours. How many do you like to buy?”

“That’s more like it” As Bai Junzhuo spoke, she glanced at Yin Mu who was looking over. Of course, she would not say such vulgar love sentences and even eat such childish jealousy. That was all for Yin Mu to hear.

Only after Yin Mu and Fu Mingyue left did Bai Junzhuo let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at the river. Yin Xun also saw through her thoughts. He looked at the river with her and said, “You actually don’t need to be so defensive, Royal Brother. He really isn’t as unbearable as you think.”

“Don’t tell me about him,” Bai Junzhuo said, too lazy to say anything to this brother. “Zisu, who are the people on this ship with us?”

“You mean the accompanying generals?”

Bai Junzhuo nodded, “I see that all of you have come with young soldiers. I have never seen them before.”

“Making those veteran generals surrender their military power is also what Royal Brother needs.” Yin Xun said, “The one who entered the cabin with Royal Brother was Chen He, the son of Old General Chen. The one who is inspecting the stern is Zhu Hongtu, the same generation of Martial Scholar as Wei Yuanyao. The one who has always been dressed in black is Feng Taiwei’s son, Feng Suji. There are also other new soldiers that Royal Brother appreciates but has no background.”

Bai Junzhuo glanced at the speed of the wind and recognized him as the one who insisted on throwing fireballs at his face last night. Yin Xun saw her gaze and asked, “Do you know him?”

Bai Junzhuo shook his head and said, “Since he is the son of Feng Taiwei, is he related to you?”

Yin Xun said, “Feng Taiwei has no sons under his knees. Feng Ziji is his adopted son.”

“Well,” Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment, then said, “Zhu Hongtu, I seem to have heard of him. He and Wei Yuanyao had a good relationship, right?”

“Alright, that’s right. However, Wei Yuanyao is on his own. It has nothing to do with him. You don’t need to worry.”

Bai Junzhuo thought that she wasn’t worried. Moreover, if this person really had the intention to avenge Wei Yuanyao and assassinate Yin Mu, she would still have a good show to watch. After all, floating on the water was the most convenient way to kill and silence people.

“There’s also Old General Chen from the court. I heard that he was from the Fu Clan. Is it okay for Yin Mu to use his son?” Bai Junzhuo asked again.

“If there’s no problem, I won’t list him out and tell you his name.” Yin Xun said, “I heard that Old General Chen has always wanted to rescue Empress Dowager Fu and help the Fu Clan. However, Brother Huang attacked too quickly and killed the Fu Clan without leaving a single blade of grass. That’s why he failed. Brother Huang asked his son to come to war and take over his military power. On the other hand, he wanted to take his son as a hostage and tell Old General Chen not to mess around Chang’an City.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded. However, what Yin Xun said just now was also wrong. The Fu Clan did not leave behind any grass. Didn’t they still have Fu Mingyue and Empress Dowager Fu? After hearing that the Fu Clan had fallen, Empress Dowager Fu had been feeling depressed. Her body had plummeted, and she might not be able to stand up. However, Fu Mingyue was at the head of Red Sun. If she were that old general Chen, she would go against Yin Mu and support Fu Mingyue as the Great Empress, or push the eldest son of the Emperor to succeed him. Fu Mingyue and Empress Dowager Fu would listen to the government like curtains hanging down.

This thought frightened Bai Junzhuo. It seemed that her resentment towards Yin Mu was too deep. Anyone who heard it would think of him usurping the throne. This thought must not be told to Yin Xun. With his brother’s temperament, if he found out, he would definitely be angry.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Yin Xun touched her head and said, “Suddenly, what did you think of?”

Bai Junzhuo raised his head to look at him and said, “I was just thinking, you are not going to court, why do you know so much about the matters in court?”

“Then do you still need to ask?” Yin Xun jumped his eyebrows and said, “Your husband is amazing.”

“Amazing!” Bai Junzhuo smiled and said, “However, you are rich and understand government affairs. You might even come into contact with military power in the future …” Bai Junzhuo paused for a while before saying, “Since the conditions are so good, why don’t you usurp the throne?” After a long time, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he changed his tone and said, “You have to be careful. Keep a low profile is the best thing to do.”

Yin Xun patted her shoulder and comforted her, “Naturally, I know that Royal Brother is not a heartless and ruthless person. He trusts his brothers very much. Didn’t he give most of the military power to the Fourth Royal Brother? Furthermore, even if Yin Ji has already rebelled, Royal Brother will let him off the hook.”

Regarding Yin Ji’s matter, Bai Junzhuo did not understand why Yin Mu would let him go. She always felt that Yin Ji’s matter was not over yet. The Battle of Chang’an had only begun, and the important play was still to come.

Yin Xun took her hand and turned around. “Alright, let’s not talk anymore. It’s windy outside. Let’s go in.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and followed her into the cabin. After entering, Fang Yi came over and told her that her room and Yin Xun’s were next door to Yin Mu’s and Fu Mingyue’s room. Bai Junzhuo felt a little unhappy.

At this moment, Yin Mu took the chessboard and said that he wanted to play chess with Yin Xun. Bai Junzhuo took the opportunity to leave and wander around the ship.

The maids accompanying the ship were all living in public rooms. Bai Junzhuo went to find Xingzi and Ju’an and wanted them to talk with him for a while. However, Xingzi’s expression was not good. He said that he was seasick.

Bai Junzhuo took the medicine to Xingzi and wanted to take care of her. Ju An pulled her to the side and said, “Princess, didn’t you mention that you wanted to match Xingzi and Shen Qing when you were in the palace?”

Bai Junzhuo immediately understood Ju An’s intentions and called for Shen Qing to take care of Xingzi. The two of them flashed outside the cabin.

The weather on the river was really strange. When Bai Junzhuo entered just now, the sky was clear. In a short while, it became dark clouds and thick fog. Moreover, according to their own calculations, they weren’t far from the river bank, but when they looked back, they couldn’t see the shadow of the river bank at all.

Bai Junzhuo asked a boatman. This boatman was a local. She said, “Shipman, did this fog suddenly rise, or has there always been fog in this position you’ve been driving to?”

The boatman replied, “It may have been a sudden rise.”

Bai Junzhuo frowned, “How is that possible? How could there be a sudden fog at noon?” This is not in line with the laws of physics.

“This river is very evil!” The boatman suddenly lowered his voice and sighed to Bai Junzhuo, “If I didn’t want to make a living, I definitely wouldn’t have boarded this ship.”

Bai Junzhuo frowned and said, “We just want you to leave Hanzhong, and then we can change the shipowners so that you can go back. The journey will take less than five hours, so you are afraid?”

The boatman replied, “Normally, we sail for two hours, which is when the sun is at its peak at noon.”

Bai Junzhuo was helpless and came again.

The boatman clasped his hands together and bowed to the heavens, “I hope the ship will be safe this time. Don’t make any mistakes.” He turned to Bai Junzhuo and said, “I won’t tell you anymore. I’m going to work.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and the boatman left.

After the boatman left, Ju An frowned and said, “Princess, do you believe him?”

Bai Junzhuo said, “I believe that there are great white sharks in the river, and I don’t believe that there are ghosts in this world. Moreover, it is under the blue sky and the white sun.”

Ju An nodded and said, “This servant doesn’t believe me either. Also, does the princess feel that these local boatmen are acting a little weird?”

Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and asked in confusion, “What’s so strange about it?”

“I wonder if this servant is thinking too much. This servant always feels that they are secretly plotting something …” Ju An said as he shook his head and said, “Perhaps this servant is thinking too much. This servant doesn’t have any evidence, it’s just a feeling.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “I will pay attention. Our journey is very important. We absolutely cannot let anything go wrong with it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ju An saw that Xingzi had also walked up. He hurriedly went over to support her and said, “Look at you, your face is so pale that you have to run out. What do you think you’re doing out here?”

Xingzi looked at Bai Junzhuo awkwardly and said, “Young miss, this servant doesn’t like Shen Qing taking care of her. Didn’t this servant also tell young miss to stop messing around?”

Bai Junzhuo could not refute the patient and could only say, “Alright, it’s all my fault. Are you hungry? I’ll go find something for you to eat.”

“Miss!” Xingzi wanted to continue, but Bai Junzhuo had already escaped.

She walked all the way to the place where the food was prepared in the cabin. Coincidentally, Fu Mingyue pushed open the door and saw her. Fu Mingyue stopped and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Fu Mingyue pondered for a moment before turning around and saying, “Fang Yi, accompany me to the theater.
