Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Collaborative Framing
Fu Mingyue loosened her grip and the cup fell to the ground, smashing into pieces.

Everyone’s faces darkened. If they were in the Li Kingdom, throwing glasses could be said to be “safe all year round.” However, Nanman did not seem to have this tradition. It was obviously a big taboo to throw glasses on such an important occasion.

Bai Junzhuo did not know what Fu Mingyue was planning, but she had never been such a careless person. Every mistake she made should have a purpose.

The Southern Barbarian King seemed to be a little angry as he stared at Fu Mingyue, as if he would slap her in the face in the next moment. At this moment, Fu Mingyue closed her eyes and fell straight down. Before Bai Junzhuo could react, he hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

The expression on the Southern Barbarian King’s face changed to worry. He asked Bai Junzhuo, “What’s wrong with the princess?”

Bai Junzhuo pinched her pulse. Nothing happened.

She thought for a moment and guessed that Fu Mingyue wanted to use this opportunity to make the Southern Barbarian King discover the head at the door of her room. She then said to the Southern Barbarian King, “This servant doesn’t know what it is anymore. The Empress has been in a trance all day today. This has never happened before.” “Furthermore, I can see that the Imperial Concubine’s Seal Hall is black and her mind is drifting. It’s like … it’s like … someone has lowered her head!”

“What do you mean by lowering your head?” The Southern Barbarian King did not quite understand the meaning of this word. Seeing that Fu Mingyue was unconscious, he immediately summoned the imperial physician and brought Fu Mingyue back to the bedroom. Everyone followed suit.

The imperial physician checked for a while and reported Fu Mingyue’s situation to the Southern Barbarian King. Bai Junzhuo asked Xiaoyan, “What did he say?”

“The doctor said that he felt that everything was normal for the princess. I don’t know why the princess suddenly fainted.”

Just as she finished speaking, the Southern Barbarian King looked at Bai Junzhuo and said to her, “Come here.”

Bai Junzhuo looked at his unfriendly expression and hesitated for a moment. The Southern Barbarian King urged with a cold face, “I told you to come over!”

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly ran over.

The Southern Barbarian King asked her, “What did you say about lowering your head?”

“Surrender is a secret technique used to harm people. Your Highness was surrendered when she was in Li Kingdom. The situation back then was exactly the same as it is now.” As Bai Junzhuo spoke, he lifted his head and peeked at the Southern Barbarian King’s expression. Seeing that he was listening carefully, he continued, “Your Highness only started to have this kind of symptom this morning. If someone really bowed to Your Highness, it should be this morning as well.”

“How should I lower my head?” The Southern Barbarian King asked her again.

Bai Junzhuo frowned and pondered for a moment, then said to him, “Our Li Kingdom’s surrender is to carve a little doll out of peach wood and write the date of birth of the person whose head was lowered. It’s fine to throw it under the bed. I wonder how the Southern Barbarian Kingdom’s surrender came about.”

The Southern Barbarian King pondered for a while before looking at the woman behind him and asking her, “Didn’t I send you here this morning to inspect the Princess’ things? Did you find anything strange?”

The woman shook her head and replied, “Nothing in this bedroom is suspicious.”

The Southern Barbarian King turned to look at Bai Junzhuo and raised his hand to curse, “Slave Diao, you actually dare to deceive me with such nonsense!”

Bai Junzhuo saw that he was going to hit her. She hurriedly shouted “wrongly” and ran away. She saw Xiao Yan standing beside Guanyin Liu, so she leaned over to Xiao Yan and pushed Xiao Yan towards Guanyin Liu.

Little Yan couldn’t stand firmly. He threw himself at the potted plant. Guanyin Liu fell to the ground. The flower pot shattered into several pieces with a “pa” sound. The head inside fell out and rolled under the feet of the Southern Barbarian King.

Everyone present was shocked, and they immediately whispered to each other.

Bai Junzhuo also pretended to be very surprised as he hugged Little Yan and looked at the head in fear. When she was reading the Profound Secret today, she discovered that the pages of the book were very old. It should be something that the Southern Barbarian King often flipped through. Therefore, he must know what this mercury-filled head represented.

She secretly glanced at Concubine He, who was standing beside the princes. Seeing that her originally pink skin had instantly turned pale, she couldn’t help but secretly sympathize with her.

With such a small trick, she still wanted to fight Fu Mingyue? Ask her to find out earlier now. Being honest in the future will be beneficial to her. Moreover, she was the most beloved concubine of the Southern Barbarian King before. I’m sure the Southern Barbarian King will only teach her a few lessons.

It was better to die early than to be trapped in a quagmire and die in the end.

The Southern Barbarian King bent down and picked up the head. After carefully examining it, he turned around and looked at the mercury that had solidified at the incision. He spoke Southern Barbarian to the crowd with a straight face.

Bai Junzhuo whispered to Xiao Yan, “What did the king say?”

Little Yan whispered, “The king is very angry. Send someone to find out who is trying to harm the princess. He also said that once we find out, we will not let that person off lightly.”

The Southern Barbarian King angrily said something to the woman who came to inspect the room that morning. Xiao Yan translated, “The king reprimanded the steward for not being careful.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Southern Barbarian King pull out the sword from the guard’s hand and cut off the head of the steward’s nanny. Blood splashed everywhere for a moment.

Bai Junzhuo couldn’t react, and Little Yan was about to faint. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly reached out to support her.

She couldn’t faint now. This good show had only just begun, and Bai Junzhuo didn’t want to watch a foreign language drama without subtitles.

Everyone knelt down and mumbled a few words. Bai Junzhuo didn’t need a translator to find out that they were all begging the king to calm down.

Seeing that Little Yan had also knelt down, she followed suit.

After saying a few more words, Xiao Yan whispered in Bai Junzhuo’s ear, “Heji said that this nanny has been with the king for decades and has never done anything wrong. She was killed just this time. It’s a chill to everyone.”

Bai Junzhuo looked at Concubine He sympathetically. She didn’t know how much the Southern Barbarian King doted on Concubine He, but he hadn’t made her a princess for so many years. As for Fu Mingyue, she was still a second wife, and she had become a princess from the start, which proved that her position in the Southern Barbarian King’s heart was definitely inferior to Fu Mingyue. Now, she didn’t even look at the Southern Barbarian King’s expression. The Southern Barbarian King was in a rage, yet she still came to accuse him?

Sure enough, the Southern Barbarian King was very angry, and the tip of his sword pointed at Hector’s neck.

The concubines following behind Concubine He kept kowtowing to the Southern Barbarian King. The Southern Barbarian King snorted coldly, withdrew his sword, and said something. Then, someone went over to bring Concubine He down.

He Ji was unwilling and ran over to hug the Southern Barbarian King’s thigh while crying. Xiao Yan secretly said to Bai Junzhuo, “He Ji said that the king has never punished me for my relationship with the king for more than twenty years, but when this woman came, the king treated me like this. I’m not convinced. Your teacher told me today, is it me or is this woman important?”

When Bai Junzhuo heard Little Yan’s words, he actually wanted to laugh. Isn’t this Concubine He too funny? Now was not the time for her to be jealous? The Southern Barbarian King was about to die from anger. Moreover, she is an old wife and Fu Mingyue is the fresh meat that the Southern Barbarian King has yet to obtain. Who do you think is more important?

The Southern Barbarian King might still have some misgivings about the past. He only waved his sleeve, pushed Concubine He away, and ordered the guards to take her away without saying anything else.

No one below dared to speak again when Concubine He made such a fuss. After a long time, the Southern Barbarian King said something. Everyone stood up and retreated. One of them wrapped up the head that had been filled with mercury according to the Southern Barbarian King’s instructions and took it away. The nanny’s corpse was also carried out.

Bai Junzhuo stood up and retreated with Little Yan.

The Southern Barbarian King sat by Fu Mingyue’s bed and looked at her with rapt attention. He didn’t know if Fu Mingyue, who was pretending to be dizzy, could feel the Southern Barbarian King’s gaze. She didn’t even laugh at such a noisy show just now, so she definitely wouldn’t be able to get herself to come. Fu Mingyue’s acting was amazing.

The Southern Barbarian King watched for a long time without making any movements, as if he had the intention of guarding Fu Mingyue from waking up. I really didn’t expect that this Southern Barbarian King was still a person of extreme affection and temperament.

Bai Junzhuo looked at them and suddenly remembered that he was responsible for poisoning them, so he went to bring over a pot of hot tea.

She thought for a moment, then handed the tea to Little Yan and said to her, “Give this to the king. The king must be thirsty after what he said just now.”

Little Yan nodded and sent the tea over. The guard with the Southern Barbarian King took out a silver needle and probed. He took out a smaller quilt and poured himself a cup of tea. After confirming that he was fine, he handed the tea over to the Southern Barbarian King.

Bai Junzhuo looked at the entire process before the Southern Barbarian King drank his tea and couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. Fortunately, he hadn’t poisoned the Southern Barbarian King rashly just now. Otherwise, something big would have happened.

The Southern Barbarian King stayed silent for another half an hour. Seeing that Fu Mingyue still hadn’t woken up, he went over and asked Bai Junzhuo, “When will the princess wake up?”

As the saying goes, you can never wake someone who pretends to be asleep. She’ll probably wake up when you’re gone.

Bai Junzhuo shook his head in panic, “This servant doesn’t know either.”

The Southern Barbarian King finally couldn’t wait any longer and said to her, “When the princess wakes up, come and let me know.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded repeatedly.

The Southern Barbarian King waved his sleeves and walked out with the crowd.

After Little Yan Bai Junzhuo and Fu Mingyue, who were pretending to be asleep, remained in the hall, Bai Junzhuo said to Little Yan, “Little Yan, can you go out and investigate and see where the investigation into this head has gone?”

Little Yan replied, turned around and walked out.

Bai Junzhuo closed the door. Hearing this, Fu Mingyue knew that there were only the two of them in the room. She sat up from the bed and said to her faintly, “It’s perfect for me to work with you to harm people. But I didn’t expect that you would actually help me like this. I thought that you would watch the show coldly and not care about my affairs.”

“I never liked to watch Wen Wentuntun’s slow play. I just wanted the Southern Barbarian King to discover it earlier. Even if I didn’t do it, he would still discover it.” Bai Junzhuo turned his head to look at her and sneered, “You don’t have to be so passionate anymore. I’m not following your play to cooperate with you. I’m just displeased with Concubine He.”

Fu Mingyue smiled gently and took off all the hair accessories on her head. She said to her, “Thank you anyway. From now on, I won’t have to face that disgusting Southern Barbarian King anymore. I can pretend to be dead until you complete your mission and then become a real dead man.”

“You’re right,” Bai Junzhuo threatened her. “When the Southern Barbarian King disposes of that Concubine He, I’ll go tell the Southern Barbarian King about your act of fainting.”
