Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 276
Chapter 276 Goodbye, Girlfriend Bitch
Fang Yi hugged Bai Junzhuo’s leg in tears and said, “Ninth Princess, this servant knows that she is wrong. Please forgive me!”
Bai Junzhuo was carrying a medicine chest to the barracks when he was shocked by Fang Yi. Seeing that Fu Mingyue had also walked in, she said to Fang Yi, “Get up quickly. Today, the Ninth Prince punished you and I was unable to stop you. This is all my fault. I still feel guilty about you.”
Fang Yi shook her head and said, “Ninth Princess, please don’t say that. It’s all this servant’s fault. If Ninth Princess doesn’t forgive this servant today, this servant will kneel here until you forgive her.”
Bai Junzhuo bent down to support her and said, “I forgive you, get up.”
Fang Yi turned around and looked at Fu Mingyue. Seeing that Fu Mingyue nodded at her, she got up from the ground and rubbed her eyes and stood to the side.
Fu Mingyue said to Fang Yi, “This palace said that the Ninth Princess will not argue with you. You still insist on apologizing. Now that she has forgiven you, you should be at ease, right?”
Fang Yi nodded desperately.
Bai Junzhuo didn’t know what this maidservant was feeling at ease. Seeing that Fu Mingyue didn’t intend to leave immediately, he directly said to her, “Mingyue, I want to go to the wounded barracks to see the wounded soldiers and teach them some simple medical skills together with the other military doctors.”
Fu Mingyue clapped her hands and said, “I’ll go with you. It’s been so long since I’ve been to the barracks, but I haven’t seen any wounded soldiers.”
Hearing her words, Bai Junzhuo’s expression changed slightly. Since when did Fu Mingyue call herself “This Palace” in front of her?
She then returned to normal and nodded, “Alright, let’s go now. Coincidentally, the rain has stopped.”
After the two finished speaking, they left this place and went to the wounded barracks.
Not long after they left, Yin Xun returned. Yin Mu had already arranged for him to leave at Youshi tonight. He wanted to stay with Bai Junzhuo for a while before leaving. Moreover, she was definitely worried that she would bring three hundred light cavalry with her, so as to convince her during this period of time, so as not to make her worry all the time.
He didn’t see Bai Junzhuo in, so he asked Shen Qing to go out and look for him. Not long after, Shen Qing returned and said to him, “Master, the princess and the queen went to the barracks together. Should I call the princess back?”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and shook his head, “Forget it, I’ll wait.”
Shen Qing stopped answering and waited with Yin Xun for Bai Junzhuo to return.
After Bai Jun arrived at the barracks, he began to instruct the wounded soldiers to bandage their wounds and change their dressing. Fu Mingyue stopped at the side. Seeing that Bai Junzhuo did not pay attention to her, she whispered to Fang Yi, “Keep an eye on her. Wait until the Ninth Prince leaves the barracks before notifying this palace.”
“Yes.” Fang Yi glanced in the direction of Bai Junzhuo and walked out.
Bai Junzhuo was busy with his own work. Two hours later, when he saw that it was already late, he bid farewell to the wounded soldiers. She thought that Fu Mingyue had already left, but she didn’t expect to turn around and see where she was waiting.
Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment before smiling and welcoming him, “Mingyue, you haven’t left yet.”
Fu Mingyue smiled and hugged her, “Wait for you to return.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and walked out with her. Fu Mingyue sighed again, “This palace is watching from the side, listening to these wounded soldiers groan in pain. I feel helpless in my heart. If only this palace could take care of them.”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression became somewhat disappointed. He said to her, “Yes, there are not enough painkillers. These soldiers can only endure it. I heard that the herbs and grain came with the army. I heard Eunuch Zhao say that the army was stopped. So, the herbs and grain can’t be shipped?”
Fu Mingyue nodded, “It seems so.”
Bai Junzhuo’s brows furrowed as he recalled the scene in the barracks. The medicinal ingredients had not arrived yet, so what should they do?
“You are always worried about this and that. His Majesty has already discussed the matter with all the officials. We women, just wait behind us.” Fu Mingyue comforted her and said, “By the way, this palace made a pot of tea with the melon slices and peony spikes brought by the palace this afternoon. You should go drink some too.”
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly shook his head and said, “No need. It’s getting late. I should go back. I’m sure Zisu has been waiting for a while.”
Fu Mingyue couldn’t help but pull her into her tent and said, “He should still be discussing political matters with His Majesty. It doesn’t matter. Such a big thing happened today. Your Zisu probably won’t be able to return until very late.”
Bai Junzhuo could not defeat her and could only enter her tent with her.
Fu Mingyue heated the tea again on the small stove and poured a cup for Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo drank it honestly. After drinking it, she stood up and said to her, “I really should go now.”
Fu Mingyue grabbed her wrist and smiled at her, “Don’t be anxious. Look, His Majesty hasn’t returned yet. I’m sure they haven’t finished their discussion. You can play chess with me again.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at Fu Mingyue suspiciously. What happened to her today? Didn’t she start from the boat and avoid herself?
As she spoke, Fu Mingyue had already brought up the chess pieces that she and Yin Mu hadn’t finished playing. She said, “Your Majesty is playing against this palace today. Before you finish playing, you have to leave first. Follow his subordinates and see if His Majesty can win.”
Bai Junzhuo glanced at the chessboard. Yin Mu moved step by step, while Fu Mingyue’s chess piece was already showing signs of decline. It seemed that she would be able to finish it very soon.
Bai Junzhuo sat down and got up with her, but he was always wondering what medicine Fu Mingyue had taken wrong to pester her like this.
In the past, when she was with Fu Mingyue, her mood was exceptionally relaxed, so she could tell her everything that was bothering her. She was more thoughtful than herself, so she could remind herself of things that she hadn’t noticed.
But now, she was filled with suspicion and scheming. They were no longer as suspicious as before.
Bai Junzhuo didn’t want to change his mind when playing chess. When he suddenly regained his senses, he had already lost Yin Mu’s great chess position. He could only admit defeat and say, “Your chess skills are really amazing. I can’t play against you, I admit defeat.”
Fu Mingyue gently tapped on the chess piece and said, “Actually, it’s not that there’s no chance of winning. You just …”
“No need,” Bai Junzhuo stood up and said, “I have also drank this tea and played chess. Can I go back now?”
“When did our relationship end up in such a state? Aren’t you willing to accompany me for a while?” She said softly with a wandering gaze.
When Bai Junzhuo heard her say this, he had a slightly unbearable expression on his face. He opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mingyue, in my heart, I have always treated you the same way as before. Even if I knew that you were somewhat dissatisfied with me, I still want to maintain this friendship with you. As for why you and I have become like this, shouldn’t you ask yourself?”
Fu Mingyue bitterly smiled and asked her, “What would you do if your highness had an undeserved affection for me?”
Bai Junzhuo replied without hesitation, “It was also his fault. It has nothing to do with you.”
After a long silence, Fu Mingyue sighed and said, “But I’m not you.”
But if she wasn’t her, or if she were to make it clear to her, she wouldn’t blame a man for her friend like she did?
Once these words were spoken, Fu Mingyue had already announced her position. Bai Junzhuo’s heart was bitter and unspeakable, but he was not as sad as he had imagined. He had probably already known her intentions. Therefore, it was not a big blow to him to speak with her clearly at this moment.
“It’s getting late,” Bai Junzhuo said blankly. “This official’s wife will take her leave first.”
Fu Mingyue let out a long sigh and then said loudly, “Someone, prepare some good wine and dishes. This palace wants to have a drink with the Ninth Princess.”
“At this time, what else do you and I have to deal with? I have important matters to attend to, so I can’t accompany you.” Bai Junzhuo chuckled and was about to leave when several guards suddenly appeared from the tent and surrounded Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo immediately knew that Fu Mingyue wanted to surround her, so he turned to look at her and said, “Ming … Empress, what do you mean?”
“Nothing much. It’s just what I said earlier. I want to have a few drinks with you.” As he spoke, someone had already arranged the dishes and drinks. Fu Mingyue gestured for Bai Junzhuo to sit down.
Bai Junzhuo narrowed her eyes. She could not guess what Fu Mingyue was trapping her for, but now, she would definitely not be able to escape.
It was already dark outside, so it was unknown if Yin Xun was looking for her, and what other people had told him.
“No matter how hesitant you are, it’s useless. If I don’t order you to leave tonight, you won’t be able to leave.” Fu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Sit down and tell me, Yin Ji sent people to intercept the army. What should we do?”
Bai Junzhuo was extremely depressed. No matter what, after today, her relationship with Fu Mingyue had come to an end. As for accompanying her tonight, let’s treat it as a farewell dinner.
She walked to sit opposite Fu Mingyue and said to her, “If it was true, Yin Ji would not be able to intercept 400,000 troops. It must be Ye Cheng who betrayed and defected to Yin Ji. Our army cannot spare any energy to deal with Ye Cheng against Southern Barbarians. The only thing we can consider is to send someone to convince Ye Cheng to bring his army back.”
Fu Mingyue poured her a glass of wine and signaled for her to continue.
“But now, no one knows what Ye Cheng will do and what kind of thoughts Ye Cheng has. Therefore, no matter who he sends, there is a high possibility that he will die. His Majesty and the Fourth Prince will be stationed in the southern border. If he wants to send him, he can only send Zisu.” As Bai Junzhuo spoke, he paused for a moment before continuing, “This Li Kingdom’s rivers and mountains will die if they die. If their lives are destroyed, they will be charred with his charcoal. It has nothing to do with me at all. I will definitely not let my family, Zisu, send him to his death.”
“If the Ninth Prince insists on going, do you want to stop him?” Fu Mingyue asked her.
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “I will persuade him to stay no matter what.”
Fu Mingyue chuckled. This was the reason why she had been delaying Bai Junzhuo. Yin Xun had to go, and he had to die.
Bai Junzhuo looked at her expression and felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, she slapped the quilt fiercely on the table and said to Fu Mingyue in disbelief, “Could it be that you never let me go back because you were afraid that I would leave him behind?”
