Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Shake Your Head at the Door
Bai Junzhuo put his hand behind him and reached into the flowerpot. However, he suddenly encountered something soft and cold. She didn’t dare to look back. She only touched it with her hand. The surface seemed to be smooth, and there were many holes in it. It shouldn’t be a living thing. Since it wasn’t alive, she wouldn’t eat it even if the woman left.

“This thing is very dangerous. I won’t let you bring it near the Southern Barbarian King, so I want to take it away,” the woman said with her 11 and 12 swords.

“Our main purpose is to protect the princess. Please return the sword to us,” 11 said.

“There are always many guards around the Southern Barbarian King. You don’t have to worry about us assassinating the Southern Barbarian King. And we can guarantee that we won’t get close to the Southern Barbarian King.”

The woman thought for a moment and returned the sword to the two of them. “If that’s the case, you can wear weapons,” she said.

After the woman finished examining them, she turned around to check on Bai Junzhuo. She touched Bai Junzhuo up and down and found no hidden weapons. She flipped through her small bag. The bag was filled with medicines that could activate blood, remove blood stasis, and strengthen the foundation and nourish the primordial energy. Only then did she leave at ease.

Bai Junzhuo secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Fu Mingyue also woke up. She sat up with a frown and continuously knocked on her forehead.

Bai Junzhuo glanced at her. He should have drugged her.

Fu Mingyue got off the bed and walked over to Bai Junzhuo. She leaned against her and supported her forehead. “Junzhuo, why does my head hurt so much?”

Bai Junzhuo was shocked by her tone and instantly reminded her of the time when the two of them hadn’t fallen out yet.

Seeing Bai Junzhuo looking at her strangely, Fu Mingyue gradually reacted and straightened her body. Just now, her mind was blurry. She thought that she was still in Chang’an for a period of time, so she walked towards Bai Junzhuo.

Now that she had regained her senses, she looked at Bai Junzhuo with a stern face and said, “You drugged me?”

Bai Junzhuo snorted coldly, “Although I’ve drugged you, it’s just a sleeping pill. It’s normal for you to be unconscious now. You’ll be fine in a while.”

“Why did you drug me?” Fu Mingyue looked at her with her arms crossed, “Could it be that you want to escape secretly?”

Bai Junzhuo gently raised the corner of his mouth and did not answer her.

Fu Mingyue sneered and said, “How can I let you get what you want if you let me end up like this? As long as I’m alive, I’ll keep an eye on you. I definitely won’t let you leave the Southern Barbarian Palace for half a step!”

Bai Jun sneered in his heart. Do you still need to worry? A Yin Mu had already told her that she couldn’t deal with him.

She didn’t want to talk to Fu Mingyue anymore. She turned around and pulled out the Guanyin Willow, wanting to take out her poison, medicine, and dagger. However, when she saw the thing under the earth, she let out a soft cry. Then, she covered her mouth and looked at the thing in disbelief. It was the one she had just touched.

When Fu Mingyue saw that she was panicking, she also followed her gaze. When she saw the thing in the basin, she cried out in shock. The guard at the door hurriedly walked in.

Fu Mingyue hurriedly waved her hand at them and said, “Close the door and go out to guard. Don’t call anyone else in.”

The guard accepted the order and immediately walked out.

Bai Junzhuo gradually calmed down and packed his poison, medicine, and dagger. Then, he used both of his hands to take out the thing in the basin-a gray-faced, seven-apertured head that was no longer bleeding. Judging from her skin and facial features, this person should be a woman in her twenties.

Fu Mingyue hid far away and asked Bai Junzhuo, “What is that?”

Bai Junzhuo examined it. It was indeed a real human head. The blood at the incision had already solidified, and there was some silver liquid flowing out of her ears. She wiped her finger and looked carefully. It was mercury.

She handed the head to Fu Mingyue and said to her, “It’s a head filled with mercury.”

Fu Mingyue knitted her brows tightly and covered her nose. “Is it the custom in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom to plant flowers with the head of a human?”

“I noticed that the flower pot was passive when I came in just now. I presume that this head was secretly put in by someone else during the period when I wasn’t around.” “You don’t have to cover your nose,” Bai Junzhuo glanced at her. “A head full of mercury won’t smell rotten for two to three years.”

Fu Mingyue put down her hand. Sure enough, she did not smell the stench of decay, not even the stench of blood. There was only a cold smell, or not a smell, but a feeling.

She walked over and took a closer look at the head, then hurriedly turned her gaze away and waved her hand, “Throw it away.”

Bai Junzhuo chuckled and said, “If someone secretly puts a person’s head in my room, I will definitely figure out what that person is doing, not throw it away.”

Fu Mingyue was stunned for a moment. She raised the corner of her mouth and said to her, “As expected, you are still so independent. If I were a man, I would have fallen in love with you like His Majesty and Ninth Prince.”

“The reason Zisu fell in love with me was because I had experienced so many things with him. At first, the slightest bit of affection would grow bigger and bigger. As for Yin Mu,” Bai Junzhuo laughed self-deprecatingly. “I don’t have the ability to tell Yin Mu to fall in love with me.”

“Is that so?” Fu Mingyue smiled silently, “So what? I’m just abandoning a child now. It’s completely useless to dwell on this matter.”

Bai Junzhuo did not mind and said lightly, “Since you know that you are abandoned, why don’t you give up on Yin Mu?”

Fu Mingyue lowered her head and tried her best to conceal the pain in her heart.

After a long time, she raised her head and said to Bai Junzhuo, “I never thought that I would be able to talk to you so casually one day.”

Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but find it funny. She held her head and said something to provoke her and Yin Mu’s concern. She actually felt that she was just chatting? You must be out of your mind.

However, Fu Mingyue changed her tone and said to her, “In the future, we will hurt each other because I am unwilling to accept it.”

Bai Junzhuo didn’t feel any sadness when he heard her say this.

Fortunately, compared to Yin Mu, Fu Mingyue’s methods were still soft, and she wasn’t afraid of her at all. Her main purpose now was to escape from this place, and the four guards watched. Fu Mingyue would not give her a chance to escape. She could only listen to Yin Mu’s words and assassinate the Southern Barbarian King. Then, there would definitely be another chaos. At that time, she could use this opportunity to escape.

Bai Junzhuo didn’t want to talk nonsense with her anymore. He just stared at the head in his hand and muttered to himself, “I’m afraid that those who come are not kind.”

Fu Mingyue was once again attracted by the head and asked her, “Then who do you think it is?”

Bai Junzhuo said, “It’s not me nor you, nor can it be the four guards of the Yin Mu Sect. In that case, it must be the people of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom who brought it over.”

Fu Mingyue’s eyebrows tightened. The Southern Barbarian King had yet to obtain her, so he shouldn’t have wanted to kill her at this moment. Who could it be?

She was a princess, equivalent to the Empress of Li Kingdom. Could it be that the Southern Barbarian King’s concubine hated her, so she would do such a cruel thing?

The more Fu Mingyue thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. Just as she was about to tell Bai Junzhuo, she heard Bai Junzhuo say, “However, it might really be just a custom, just like the custom of putting up curtains and setting off firecrackers during the New Year in Li Kingdom. There might be a custom for a newly married woman to place her head at the door.”

Fu Mingyue naturally did not believe her, but she did not refute her words.

Bai Junzhuo put the head back into the flowerpot and put the clod and Guanyin Liu back into their original shape.

Fu Mingyue asked in surprise, “What are you doing? Do you still want to leave your head here?”

Bai Junzhuo turned to look at her and said meaningfully, “You have also stayed in Yin Mu’s harem for a long time. Don’t you know how to use this head?”

After pondering for a moment, Fu Mingyue naturally understood. If the person who released this head had no ill intentions, she did not need to deal with that person. If it was used to harm her, then she was the victim. This person’s head was evidence, and destroying the evidence was something only a fool would do.

However, putting a person’s head in the room made him feel a little scared no matter how he thought about it.

Bai Junzhuo said to her, “However, whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with me. It is entirely up to you to make use of this human head. I am merely reminding you out of kindness.”

Fu Mingyue didn’t beat around the bush when she saw her straightforward words. “Naturally, I want to find out everything about this matter. If someone really wants to harm me, I will definitely not let him escape unscathed,” Fu Mingyue said to her.

The corners of Bai Jun’s lips curled up. After looking at her for a while, he turned around and said, “I’m hungry. Let’s go eat something.”

“Wait.” Fu Mingyue stopped her.

Bai Junzhuo turned around and raised his eyebrows to ask her, “What else does Princess Nanman have to say? If you’re hungry, I advise you to ask someone else to bring food over, or eat it yourself, because I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist poisoning you.”

“I don’t need you to worry about this. In order for you to complete His Majesty’s mission, I will definitely live a good life in the palace. I will also pay attention to the food and drinks.” Fu Mingyue looked at her coldly and said to her, “But I didn’t bring Fang Yi over. The four guards outside are all men, so it’s not convenient to investigate this matter. Similarly, it’s not suitable for me to investigate it myself. Therefore, I sent you to investigate this matter.”

Bai Junzhuo chuckled and asked her, “What if I don’t agree?”

Fu Mingyue said fearlessly, “You are my maidservant. If you don’t want to, I can only punish you. But don’t worry, for the sake of His Majesty, I won’t really ask you to die.”

Bai Junzhuo sneered. Without saying whether he was willing or not, he pushed open the door and walked out.

Fu Mingyue watched her leave and couldn’t help but cast her gaze on the Guanyin Willow. She couldn’t help but shout, “Someone!”

The four guards hurriedly walked in.

Fu Mingyue wanted to take the potted plant away, but she remembered what Bai Junzhuo had just said. She waved her hand and said, “Follow the Ninth Princess closely!”

The four guards answered and followed.

Bai Junzhuo thought as he walked. The Southern Barbarian Kingdom really had no rules. Fu Mingyue’s current status was at least that of a princess. She didn’t even send food over. She even asked her “trusted maidservant” to come out and pick it up herself.

She gestured and asked where the kitchen was before heading straight for the kitchen. The process was arduous. At the same time, Bai Junzhuo realized that if he wanted to escape, he had to prepare a map of the palace.

Not long after, they arrived at the kitchen. The kitchen was very big and there was no one there. Bai Junzhuo directly walked in and looked around. Seeing that it was full of meat, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom really did not prepare anything light in the morning. How could she eat it?

Just as she was complaining, she suddenly heard a thunderous noise coming from behind the shelf in front of her.
