Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 280

Chapter 280 Humiliate a Former Best Friend
The Southern Barbarian King smiled and said to Fu Mingyue, “If a beauty is like this, why didn’t you enter your embrace earlier?”

Fu Mingyue’s expression turned cold as she said to him, “The Southern Barbarian King’s words don’t make sense.”

“Perhaps it doesn’t meet the Empress’ intentions, but it does express this king’s intentions.” The Southern Barbarian King narrowed his eyes and looked at her, asking her, “Your king loves you very much.”

Fu Mingyue replied generously, “Your Majesty dotes on this palace. It is also my fortune.”

“But the ruler of your Li Kingdom is short and small. How can he be stronger than this king? Can such a weak man really protect a beauty like you?” The Southern Barbarian King gently placed his hand on Fu Mingyue’s shoulder and stared at her.

Fu Mingyue hurriedly retreated and kept a distance from the Southern Barbarian King. She said to him, “Protecting women is not the same as ruling the world. Your Majesty treats me sincerely. Even if he wants me to die one day, there will be no other words in this country.”

“Oh?” The smile at the corner of the Southern Barbarian King’s lips deepened a little and he said, “If I told you to follow Zhaojun’s lead, would you agree?”

Fu Mingyue said coldly, “The Li Kingdom’s woman is pure, she definitely will not marry again. If His Majesty has no choice but to marry this palace far away from Zhaojun, this palace will definitely resist with death and protect His Majesty’s body like jade!”

The women of the Kingdom of Li were famous throughout the world for their loyalty, but the women of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom were enthusiastic and open, never allowing the men of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom to feel their loyalty. Now that Fu Mingyue had said this, the Southern Barbarian King wanted her even more.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is that really the case?”

Fu Mingyue ignored him and turned around with a cold snort.

At this time, Bai Junzhuo returned with the translator. She could tell from Fu Mingyue’s expression that the Southern Barbarian King had eaten a lot of Fu Mingyue’s tofu.

She pretended to be ignorant and went over to hold Fu Mingyue’s hand and said, “The Empress has been waiting for a long time. Let’s go back.”

Fu Mingyue forced a smile, nodded lightly, and left the palace with Bai Junzhuo.

After returning to the barracks, the two of them returned to their tents. Yin Mu immediately went to see Bai Junzhuo and asked her, “Does the Southern Barbarian King agree to postpone the start of the war?”

Bai Jun calmed down and suppressed his hatred towards him. He smiled and replied, “If the Southern Barbarian King agrees to deal with the Li Kingdom and is willing to deal with the Wu Kingdom together, what does His Majesty think?”

Yin Mu was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, “This is naturally the best. Li Country is slightly weaker than Wu Country. The victory or defeat in the battle with Wu Country depends on which side the Southern Barbarian small country is on.”

“I have lived up to my mission and won His Majesty an opportunity to find a solution to the Southern Barbarians.” As Bai Junzhuo spoke, his eyes darkened. He turned around and said, “However, the Southern Barbarian King has one condition.”

“What conditions?” Yin Mu asked.

After a moment of hesitation, Bai Junzhuo shook his head and said, “Forget it, His Majesty should not agree to this condition. At the same time, I also feel that this condition is too excessive … it is simply unbearable.”

Yin Mu thought for a moment and said to her, “Just tell her what the conditions are. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be in vain for you to put all your effort into winning for the Li Kingdom?”

“The Southern Barbarian King’s wine pond and meat forest are doomed. He took a fancy to Mingyue with a single glance. He seems to have a good impression of Mingyue.” Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “The Mingyue sisters and I are very close. We really don’t want to see her suffer in the Southern Barbarians. Moreover, she is also bound to you, so she naturally doesn’t want to go over.”

Yin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he looked straight at Bai Junzhuo. The corner of his lips curved into a cold arc and asked her, “The Southern Barbarian King clearly told you that he wants Ming Yue to marry him?”

Bai Junzhuo’s face was still heavy. He shook his head and said, “I was only guessing what he meant, but I estimate that 8.9 is not far from 10. He said that he will give us a definite answer within three days.”

Yin Mu looked at Bai Junzhuo with a cold gaze. His eyes were as deep as black holes, as if they could see through people in a moment.

Bai Junzhuo did not hear his answer, and his gaze made him feel really uncomfortable, so he began to reflect on whether he had revealed any carelessness in his words.

Yin Mu was still silent, and Bai Junzhuo was still sweating. After fighting with Yin Mu, he really couldn’t let down his guard.

After an unknown amount of silence, Yin Mu suddenly raised Bai Junzhuo’s chin and looked down at her, “I hope that this is your plan to harm Mingyue. The purpose is to be with me.”

Bai Junzhuo opened his hand and said coldly, “Mingyue Qing and I are sisters. Not to mention that I have no intentions towards you, even if I do, I will definitely not make a move against you. It will make her feel uncomfortable.”

“Why?” Yin Mu pushed her over again and tightly grabbed her shoulder. A look of sadness could be seen in his eyes. “If Zisu died, you and Baoyu would be left alone. Can’t I take care of you on your behalf?”

“Zisu won’t die, and I don’t need your care!” Bai Junzhuo looked at him coldly, “Your Majesty, a woman from the Li Kingdom can’t be remarried, don’t you know?”

“Why not?” Yin Mu smiled faintly, “If I say yes, then so be it. I am the rule.”

Bai Junzhuo did not know if it was painful or urgent. He felt the corner of his eyes turn hot, and his eyes became blurry. Large tears fell onto Yin Mu’s hand. Yin Mu was stunned for a moment and quickly let go of his hand.

His face was no longer ferocious, and he regained a warm and moist expression. He took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe away Bai Jun’s tears, and his movements were gentle and focused, just like how he treated every woman he needed to use.

He smiled and said gently, “Is this the only man in the world who can make you cry?”

It can’t be? She was just a woman, any man who could scare her could make her cry. However, Yin Xun was the only one in the world who was closely related to all her tears. As long as he was around, she would not cry because of fear.

“Stop crying. I have no intention of doing anything to you.” Yin Mu stuffed the yellow brocade handkerchief into Bai Junzhuo’s hand. He stood up and said, “If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, I will leave. However, Zisu will definitely die this time. It is better for you to accept it as soon as possible.”

After he finished speaking, he sighed to Bai Junzhuo before turning around and leaving.

Bai Junzhuo fiercely tossed the brocade handkerchief that he had stuffed into his body onto the ground and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. It took a while to calm down.

Her gaze caught a glimpse of the brocade handkerchief embroidered with dragons on the ground, and a scene suddenly appeared in her mind.

She lowered her head to pick up the handkerchief and stared at it with a meaningful smile.

Before three days had passed, the Southern Barbarian King sent an envoy the next day after returning to the barracks. As a precaution, Yin Mu had Bai Junzhuo pretend to be the messenger and hid behind the screen to listen to them.

The messenger greeted Bai Junzhuo and said straightforwardly, “Our king said that the best way to maintain our brotherly relationship is to be close to each other.” “Therefore, our king asks you to commit the empress to marry our king. Furthermore, the emperor promises that the empress will be the only princess. If you do not agree to this condition, then we, Southern Barbarians, will not be able to cooperate with the Li Kingdom.”

Of course, Bai Junzhuo had to agree. This matter was originally planned by her alone. However, Yin Mu was listening from behind. In order not to make him suspicious, she had to pretend to be extremely reluctant and consider everything for Fu Mingyue.

She replied angrily, “How dare you! How can the Southern Barbarian King make such a feeble request! Our Li Kingdom’s women can never be remarried, let alone the Empress, who is the mother of our Li Kingdom. How can she remarry to the Southern Barbarian Kingdom? If the Southern Barbarian King likes our Li Kingdom’s women, I can allow him all the unmarried girls of the Li Kingdom, but the Empress will definitely not let him go!”

The messenger was sure that the Li Kingdom needed to borrow their strength now. He said proudly, “You women of the Li Kingdom cannot be remarried. We, the Southern Barbarian King, also know that.” However, marrying Southern Barbarians was not a woman from the Li Kingdom, so the reason why she couldn’t be remarried simply didn’t make sense. “Our Southern Barbarian King has also said that if the king of the Kingdom of Li does not agree, we will definitely not force others to do anything difficult. However, Wu Country has also had close dealings with our Southern Barbarian Kingdom in recent days. Our Southern Barbarian King will probably bear the pain and join Wu Country in hostilities with Li Country.”

After saying that, it was obvious that it was coercion. Bai Junzhuo frowned slightly. He raised his hand and said to the messenger, “Leave behind the Southern Barbarian King’s documents and go back first. I need to think about this matter carefully before giving you an answer.”

The messenger nodded and said, “We, the Southern Barbarian King, are not in a hurry for a while. We also gave His Majesty three days to consider. In three days, it will be up to Your Majesty whether we, the Southern Barbarian King, will ride an elephant to marry the Empress, or the elephant will pull a war chariot to bombard Chaisang City.”

After the messenger finished speaking, Bai Junzhuo sent someone to send him away. Not long after, Yin Mu came out from behind the screen. Bai Junzhuo handed the envoy the documents left behind to Yin Mu.

Yin Mu opened the paperwork and read it, then he did not say a word.

Bai Junzhuo looked at him and said, “Listen to what the messenger and I have said. As expected, it is the same as what I guessed. Therefore, whether or not we should abandon Fu Mingyue in exchange for the stability of Li Kingdom’s territory depends on your intentions.”

Yin Mu closed the document and looked at her, “Do you think I should let Ming Yue marry into the Southern Barbarians?”

“Of course I don’t want to!” Bai Junzhuo’s words were true and false, but he had a truly reluctant expression on his face, saying, “This is an insult to the Li Kingdom, and it will also ruin Ming Yue’s life!”

“Why would you lie to me? If you really don’t want to, with your strength, you will definitely be able to convince a small messenger, and you will definitely come up with a solution to this problem.” Yin Mu smiled faintly, as if he had seen through everything, “From my point of view, you really want my empress to marry off, don’t you?”

“It can’t be?” Bai Junzhuo said in panic.

“You’re wrong because you shouldn’t be showing that you and the Empress are sisters at this time.” Step by step, Yin Mu approached her and said, “It was Mingyue who stopped you that day. You didn’t have the chance to stay in Zisu, so you would definitely hate Mingyue in your heart. But now, you are still thinking of her. How can I not be suspicious?”

Bai Junzhuo pushed back until he leaned against the screen. Yin Mu stretched out his hand and controlled her under the bend of his arm.

“Bai Junzhuo, you’re so ruthless!”
