Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 279
Chapter 279 Beauty Is Like This
Bai Junzhuo was extremely intimate with Fu Mingyue and whispered to her, “That fatty seems to be interested in you.”
Fu Mingyue turned her head to look at the Southern Barbarian King with a motionless expression. His dark eyes were filled with emotions, and his desire was not concealed at all. Fu Mingyue hurriedly concealed her panic, grabbed Bai Junzhuo’s hand, and asked her with a fake smile, “You insisted on bringing me here to negotiate with the Southern Barbarian King so that the Southern Barbarian King could see me?”
Bai Junzhuo looked down at her and smiled. “I didn’t know that the Southern Barbarian King was so lecherous. He actually dared to openly disrespect the mother of the Li Kingdom.” Previously, I wanted to bring you with me because I wanted to kidnap you and escape from the barracks. However, thinking about it now, Yin Mu is so heartless. Even if I kidnap you, he might not let me go. I might as well teach you to lose everything and avenge yourself for not letting me see Zisu that night before dealing with Yin Mu. In that case, even if I don’t have enough time to save Zisu, I’ll still be able to drag the two of you to your deaths! ”
Her tone was cold, but there was always a smile on her face. In the eyes of outsiders, the king and mother of the Li Kingdom had been whispering ever since they came in. Naturally, they were extremely loving.
Fu Mingyue raised her eyebrows and asked her, “What exactly do you want?”
“Shh–” Bai Junzhuo said, “Keep your voice down. If you mess up this banquet, Yin Mu will blame you.”
Fu Mingyue frowned, then opened her mouth and said with a smile, “I’ve seen your methods before. Just let them go.”
As she spoke, a pink-skinned woman sitting at the head of the Southern Barbarian King raised her glass and stood up. Her entire body was covered in golden ornaments, and even her beautiful eyebrows and nose were covered with gold foil. She walked towards Bai Junzhuo and Fu Mingyue. Every step she took, the golden ornament on her body shook, and it was extremely bright and moving.
She walked up to the two of them and said to them in Li language, “I am the Southern Barbarian King’s concubine, Concubine He. I will drink a toast to you in place of the Southern Barbarian King!”
Yesterday, Yin Mu had told Bai Junzhuo about this Concubine He. The Southern Barbarian King still did not have a princess, but there were countless concubines. This Concubine He was his favorite.
Bai Junzhuo also stood up and raised his glass. Just as he was about to speak, Concubine He had already emptied the wine. Then, he threw the glass onto the ground and fiercely said to Bai Junzhuo, “The prince Wu Guda who died in your Li Kingdom is my son!”
Bai Jun Zhao saw that her eyes were filled with anger, and none of the people present came out to stop her from attacking him. He knew that Concubine He had been tacitly approved by the Southern Barbarian King, and that the Southern Barbarian King probably did not have any intention of delaying the start of the war.
She knew what was going on in her heart and did not panic. She drank all the wine in her hand and immediately smiled. She avoided Concubine He and directly said to the Southern Barbarian King, “Since the Southern Barbarian King’s prince died in our Li Kingdom, it is useless to apologize now. How about we return the Southern Barbarian King a son?”
The translator standing behind the Southern Barbarian King translated Bai Junzhuo’s words to the Southern Barbarian King. The Southern Barbarian King said something with great interest. The translator said, “Your Majesty, if you dare to ask the king of Li Kingdom, how can you return the favor?”
Bai Jun Zhuo Zhan smiled and said, “I, Li Country, am outstanding. I will give you back a beauty. Tell that beauty to give birth to a son for the king, okay?”
The translator explained that the Southern Barbarian King looked meaningfully at Fu Mingyue, who was sitting over there, and said another sentence.
Before the translator could translate this sentence to Bai Junzhuo, Concubine He angrily spoke to the Southern Barbarian King in the Southern Barbarian language. Then, he went to Bai Junzhuo and said to her, “The king of Li Kingdom is really full of bullshit. Even if you give the king a beauty, will that beauty give birth to a son? Even if you give birth to a son, that’s not my son!”
Bai Junzhuo smiled faintly and said to her, “I didn’t expect that Hegee is just a concubine, yet she is proficient in both languages. Furthermore, she can also decide military affairs on behalf of the Southern Barbarian King. I truly admire her.”
Bai Junzhuo smiled mockingly. The Southern Barbarian King was not confused. Before the translator could translate her words, he knew that she was mocking him for allowing his concubine to interfere in politics. He coldly chuckled at Concubine He. Concubine He’s face turned pale with anger. He stomped his foot and returned to his seat and sat down obediently.
The translator said to Bai Junzhuo, “Your Majesty apologizes to the king of Li Kingdom for Concubine He’s rudeness just now.”
Bai Junzhuo smiled faintly, “Why don’t you? Southern Barbarians and Li Kingdom are originally brotherly countries, so there’s no need to worry about such a trivial matter.”
The Southern Barbarian King raised his lips and smiled. The translator said, “Our Southern Barbarian is not only a brotherly country with Li Country, but also a brotherly country with Wu Country. Now that our brothers are being torn apart, our King is also very sad. I wonder if it is better to help this brother of Li Country or this brother of Wu Country.”
Bai Junzhuo felt ridiculed in his heart. Although Li Country had provoked this war, it had only targeted Southern Barbarians at the beginning. It was Southern Barbarians who had suffered defeat before asking Wu Country for help. He said this now, as if Wu Country and Li Country were at war first, and it was the Southern Barbarians who were drawn into it.
However, this also revealed the true intentions of the Southern Barbarian King. He did not want to be enemies with Li Country. This Southern Barbarian King was not stupid. Naturally, he knew that if they defeated Li together with Wu Country, the little Southern Barbarian would soon become a subordinate of Wu Country.
With that said, the real reason for the war had been weakened by the Southern Barbarian King and sneakily changed. In addition, Bai Junzhuo wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to retaliate against Fu Mingyue. It would probably not be enough to delay the start of the war. It would be better to make peace with Southern Barbarian and deal with Wu Country together.
She then said, “Since the Southern Barbarian King is in the palace, he naturally knows that his brothers and sisters will fight each other to seize power, let alone our three countries. Right now, we are both weak. If you help the strong destroy the weak, how will you resist the strong in the end? It’s better for the weak to help the weak and fight against the strong together.”
After the translator translated Bai Junzhuo’s words, the Southern Barbarian King fell into deep thought for a long time before he spoke. The translator said, “Our Southern Barbarian King said that he needs to think about it carefully now and will send an envoy to inform the king within three days.”
Bai Junzhuo cupped his hands and said, “I look forward to your reply.”
After saying that, he returned to his seat and sat down with Fu Mingyue, continuing to drink and eat meat.
Fu Mingyue whispered, “This palace originally thought that you would hate us for plotting against Your Majesty and your wife like this. It can be seen that everything you said just now is for the good of Your Majesty. You are really as hard-hearted and soft-hearted as before, and will not harm anyone.”
Bai Junzhuo chuckled, “I did it for the good of the people of Li Kingdom, not for Yin Mu.”
“His Majesty has schemed for half his life. He is a state. Once the people recover, his country will stabilize. Naturally, he will also recover.” Fu Mingyue smiled faintly and asked jokingly, “You’re not in love with His Majesty, are you? That’s why you did so many things for him.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at her with a mocking expression and said coldly, “Do you think every woman is as cheap as you? Do you know that Yin Mu is only using you, and he still insists on loving him and doing so many things for him? Let me tell you, Yin Mu and you are people that I will never forgive. If you care about him, I will tell you to lose him. If he cares about Jiang Shan, I will tell him to lose Jiang Shan.”
Fu Mingyue smiled and asked her, “Aren’t you afraid that this palace will tell His Majesty what you said?”
Bai Junzhuo looked at her and said, “Do you think that if you don’t tell me, Yin Mu doesn’t know that I want to deal with him?”
Fu Mingyue’s ears twitched. She didn’t know how to respond, so she picked up her glass to drink. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly stopped her and said, “The Empress is always unable to win the wine. Don’t be greedy for wine. It’s disgraceful.”
As he spoke, Bai Junzhuo glanced at the Southern Barbarian King who had been looking this way. He held Fu Mingyue’s hand ambiguously and put the glass of wine into his mouth.
Looking at the Southern Barbarian King again, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.
After three rounds of drinking, the banquet finally ended. The Southern Barbarian King personally escorted the two of them out of the palace.
After leaving the main hall, there was a long corridor leading to the palace entrance. Bai Junzhuo’s right hand was accompanied by Fu Mingyue, and on the left was the Southern Barbarian King and his translator. Bai Junzhuo took a few steps and supported Fu Mingyue, seeming to be extremely loving.
Fu Mingyue’s heart was cold. This Empress’ reputation for harmony was made like this. Moreover, the person who was acting against her was not Yin Mu.
She was finally impatient and whispered in Bai Junzhuo’s ear, “You don’t have to be like this.”
“How can there be no need?” Bai Junzhuo replied softly, “Now it seems that I love you so much. When I make a deal with the Southern Barbarian King, the Li Kingdom will be able to reap more benefits. Don’t you understand this point?”
Fu Mingyue’s body stiffened. Could it be that she wanted to …
No, such a big matter must require Yin Mu’s consent. No matter how heartless Yin Mu was, he would not treat her like that.
Fu Mingyue ignored Bai Junzhuo. Halfway through the journey, Bai Junzhuo suddenly stopped and said to the Southern Barbarian King, “I drank too much wine just now and suddenly felt a little anxious. May I trouble the Southern Barbarian King to wait for a moment?”
The Southern Barbarian King nodded, and the translator was going to bring Bai Junzhuo over. Fu Mingyue did not want to be alone with the Southern Barbarian King, so she grabbed her hand and said, “This concubine will accompany His Majesty.”
Bai Junzhuo removed her hand and lowered her voice. However, the Southern Barbarian King and the interpreter could hear her and said to her, “Queen, stop joking. This is not in our own palace. We have to pay attention to the difference between men and women at all times. What kind of manners do you have to follow me?”
Her implication is that in our own palace, it is convenient for us to go together regardless of gender, as if she, Fu Mingyue, did not notice the difference between men and women in her own palace.
Fu Mingyue’s face turned pale. Fortunately, the translator did not translate this sentence to the Southern Barbarian King.
After that, Bai Junzhuo and the translator left. After the two of them left, the Southern Barbarian King’s gaze on Fu Mingyue became even more unrestrained. Fu Mingyue could only pretend to be ignorant and look ahead.
The Southern Barbarian King held his chin and looked at it for a long time. He couldn’t help but praise, “She’s really a beauty.”
Fu Mingyue was a little surprised. She turned around and said, “So the Southern Barbarian King speaks Li Country dialect.”
The Southern Barbarian King waved his hand and said, “I only know a little. Most of the time, my words are incongruous. I’m afraid that I’ll be rude when I speak to the king of your Li Kingdom. That’s why I’ve never made a fool of myself.”
Fu Mingyue lowered her eyes and smiled, “Southern Barbarian King, humble. From this palace’s point of view, Southern Barbarian King’s Li Guoyu is exceptionally exquisite. This palace admires it very much.”
“Is that so?” The Southern Barbarian King smiled and said to Fu Mingyue, “If a beauty is like this, why didn’t you enter your embrace earlier?”
