Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 304

Chapter 304 The Final Winner
“Master, this subordinate knows that the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Princess will secretly leave the barracks tonight.”

Yin Ji smiled and instructed, “Pass on the orders to the brothers who have infiltrated the army. Get ready and attack immediately!”

“Yes!” The man answered and returned to the barracks.

Yin Ji looked in the direction of the barracks from afar. At this moment, the Yin Clan army had just returned from a victorious battle. After celebrating for a while, they would naturally become tired and lazy. It was the most convenient time to sneak in and directly kill Yin Mu.

Wei Yuanyao, who was standing beside him, said, “Your Majesty has a brilliant plan. He already knew that Ye Cheng was just a bait sent by Yin Mu, so he planted our people in the army.”

Yin Ji sneered and said, “However, I didn’t expect Yin Xun to ask Ye Cheng to betray Yin Mu. Since he has such great ability, I can’t just think of using him.”

“What does the Lord mean?” Wei Yuanyao thought for a moment and asked, “Kill Yin Xun?”

Yin Ji nodded, “I thought that Yin Xun was really a person who only knew how to do business and not understand politics and military affairs. That’s why I wanted to rope him in. But after this change, his talents are on par with Yin Mu’s and mine. There is indeed a reason why Yin Mu wants to get rid of him.”

Wei Yuanyao probed and asked, “It’s just that Yin Mu wants to preserve his title as the Lord of Virtue and always wants to use his master to kill Yin Xun. Should his master borrow his hand as well?”

Yin Ji shook his head, “Yin Mu cares about his reputation, I don’t care. As long as I sit in that position, I’m afraid who will talk nonsense behind my back?”

Wei Yuanyao immediately said, “The Lord is right, but the news just now said that Yin Xun is going to flee tonight. Is the Lord going to personally go there? I’m afraid that if the Lord is not here, something will happen.”

Yin Ji nodded and went to the barracks with Wei Yuanyao. They waited until the middle of the night when all the soldiers were drunk before Yin Ji and Wei Yuanyao started to move.

At this moment, Yin Xun and his group were already prepared and took advantage of this moment to sneak out of the barracks. However, before they could reach the entrance of the barracks, a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded them.

Yin Xun secretly stroked his sword and asked them, “What are you doing?”

“We are His Majesty’s men. His Majesty knows that the Ninth Prince is leaving the barracks tonight and has no intention of stopping him. However, His Majesty still has something to tell the Ninth Prince.”

“Really?” Yin Xun thought back for a moment. Just now, Yin Mu only drank a few drinks and quietly left. Was he really waiting for him in an ambush?

Bai Junzhuo was very uneasy. He pulled Yin Xun back and said, “Zisu, don’t go.”

Yin Xun thought for a moment, but he took down Bai Junzhuo’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I believe that Royal Brother is sincerely regretful and won’t want to attack me again.”

As he spoke, he looked at the group of people and instructed Shen Qing, “Protect the princess and wait for me outside the barracks.”

“Yes!” Shen Qing answered.

Bai Junzhuo was still worried. He frowned and said, “Zisu …”

“It doesn’t matter. Trust me, he really won’t do anything to me anymore. Calling me back now should mean that he really has something important to discuss with me.” Yin Xun smiled gently at her and pushed her, “Hurry up and leave. Don’t get in the way here.”

After saying that, Yin Xun followed the few people back.

Bai Junzhuo stood there and looked. In the end, he was worried and wanted to follow her. Shen Qing hurriedly pulled her and said, “Princess, you can trust Your Highness. Your Highness values love and righteousness, but the most important thing in his heart is you. For you, he will definitely not let anything happen to you.”

Hearing this, Bai Junzhuo bit his lower lip, still hesitating.

“That’s right, Princess.” Ju An also advised, “The one who is the most unsafe is Princess. Princess, please leave with us!”

That’s right, staying here was only adding to Yin Xun’s troubles.

Only then did Bai Junzhuo nod and leave the barracks with them.

Yin Xun followed those people. After walking for a while, he discovered that the direction was wrong. He asked them, “This is clearly not where Brother Huang’s tent is. Where exactly are you taking me?”

The leader said, “Ninth Prince, calm down. We’ll be there soon.”

Seeing his perfunctory words, Yin Xun did not ask any further. He only secretly sized up these people. Their faces were extremely unfamiliar, unlike the people who often followed by Yin Mu’s side.

He didn’t make it clear and only placed his right hand on the soft sword, ready to draw his sword at any time.

Those people finally stopped in front of a tent and lifted the curtain to let Yin Xun in. Yin Xun really wanted to know who had used his royal brother’s name to trick him into coming over, so he directly walked in.

As soon as he entered, he felt a fierce sword wind blowing behind him. Yin Xun hurriedly pulled out his sword to welcome him. He could clearly see that the person who had ambushed him was Yin Ji.

When Yin Ji saw that his attack failed, he threw out his sword. He picked up the saber behind him and chopped it down, muttering to himself, “Indeed, I’m not good at using swords.”

“But I’m good at it.” Yin Xun said. The slender and soft sword was as agile as a silver snake. After several moves towards Yin Ji, Yin Ji took two steps back first. At this moment, the people outside Yin Ji burrowed in and surrounded Yin Xun.

Yin Xun held his sword and glanced at the group of people before sneering coldly, “Big Brother Emperor, are you going to cheat if you can’t beat me?”

Yin Ji didn’t feel the slightest bit ashamed as he curled his lips and said, “Originally, I only wanted to have a few moves with you, but I didn’t want to really decide the outcome with you. Because no matter what, the final winner is me.”

“Is that so?” Yin Xun didn’t panic at all. He still didn’t care about these wild cats and dogs.

Yin Ji raised his saber and faced Yin Xun. The others also picked up their weapons and wanted to rush towards Yin Xun. Yin Xun was about to face his enemy when someone behind him suddenly shouted, “Wait!”

Yin Ji turned around and saw that it was actually Yin Mu.

Yin Ji was dumbfounded. According to the spy’s report, Yin Mu was really drunk. He was lying in the military camp drunk. There were even a few of his men in the surroundings. Why were he standing here now?

Just as he was curious, he suddenly saw Wei Yuanyao standing behind Yin Mu. He couldn’t help but be shocked. He pointed at Wei Yuanyao and said, “You actually betrayed me?”

Yin Xun also glanced at Wei Yuanyao. He had heard from Bai Junzhuo many times that Wei Yuanyao was Yin Ji’s confidant, but now, it seemed that Yin Mu had made a move on him. He smiled gently and stood behind to watch the play.

“He didn’t betray you,” Yin Mu said, “because he was originally one of us.”

“What?” Yin Ji was shocked. He couldn’t help but think of everything that had happened along the way. He then said, “In Chang’an, it was you who gave me the idea to force me to go to the palace. In Qingzhou, it was you who asked me to go to Xiangyang to cooperate with Ye Cheng. Thinking about all these things carefully, they were all to comply with Yin Mu’s plan! Tonight, it was you who told Yin Mu that I was going to kill Yin Xun, right?”

Wei Yuanyao nodded, “Exactly.”

Yin Ji sneered, “Alright, I really didn’t expect that the only people I thought of as confidants were spies sent by Yin Mu.” He asked Wei Yuanyao, “However, I am very curious about one thing. When you first became the top scholar, I found you and understood the conflict between you and Imperial Concubine Yin Mu. Because of that woman, you clearly hate Yin Mu very much. Why do you still work for Yin Mu?”

Wei Yuanyao smiled faintly and said, “That’s because His Majesty needs someone who hates him to earn your trust. Everything I’ve done before was for this purpose.”

“As expected, I still can’t defeat you!” Yin Ji laughed heartily. Then, he looked at Yin Mu and said, “But you came out early this time, didn’t you? If you were any later, I would have killed Yin Xun. You can also use this reason to kill me. Isn’t this really what you want?”

“That’s right, this is exactly what I’ve been trying so hard to get.” Yin Mu said indifferently and raised his hand to bring all of Yin Ji’s people down. Wei Yuanyao also left this place, leaving only Yin Mu, Yin Ji, and Yin Xun behind.

“I’ve thought about a lot of things,” Yin Mu looked at Yin Ji and said, “Big Royal Brother, you also want to sit on this throne, but can you tell me why you want to be the Emperor?”

“This position is supreme. Once you obtain it, you will obtain everything. Everyone will want to become an emperor!” Yin Ji said, “But I was defeated by you. It seems like I don’t have the ability to turn the tables anymore. Kill me!”

“I won’t kill you, not in Chang’an, not now.” As Yin Mu spoke, he looked at Yin Xun and said, “Furthermore, what you said about everyone wanting to be emperor is not the same. At least Zisu is not interested in this throne, right?”

Yin Xun nodded, “I just want to live a peaceful life with the person I love. If I hadn’t been stopped by Big Royal Brother tonight, I would have already left the barracks by now.”

Yin Mu seemed to be very satisfied with Yin Xun’s answer. He smiled and nodded, then looked at Yin Ji and said, “Big brother, think carefully. If you had the chance to kill all of our Yin brothers and take this seat, would you really be happy?”

Yin Ji snorted coldly, “If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush with me.”

“I personally went to the battlefield this time. I’ve experienced a soul-stirring battle. I don’t know if they’re scared or not. I’m scared to death anyway.” Yin Mu smiled and said, “I just went to ask the soldiers if they are afraid. They said that everyone in the world is afraid of death. I asked them why none of the soldiers who rushed to the battlefield retreated. They said that there were important people who wanted to protect them.”

Yin Ji narrowed his eyes and said, “I don’t need you to teach me a lesson!”

“I’m not teaching you a lesson, I’m saving you!” Yin Mu’s throat moved. He looked at Yin Xun and continued, “Ye Cheng originally wanted to kill Ninth Brother at my command, but he ended up under Ninth Brother. Big Royal Brother, if you were Ninth Brother, what would you do?”

“If I control that 400,000 strong army, I will naturally kill you and become the emperor myself.” Yin Ji said impolitely.

“But Ninth Brother didn’t do that,” Yin Mu said emotionally. “I threatened my beloved and plotted against my own brother. I was almost alone. Fortunately, Ninth Brother saved me and pulled me along the edge of the cliff to let me know why I wanted to be the emperor.”

When Yin Xun heard this, he interrupted and asked, “Why?”
