Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 309

Chapter 309 I Don’t Know Where to Go
Bai Xu said seriously to Bai Junzhuo, “Your Majesty naturally doesn’t like having powerful officials form factions. Third sister, you and Ninth Prince should leave Chang’an as soon as possible.”

Bai Junzhuo was stunned for a moment, and then he said, “You saw my attitude just now. I won’t have any secret communication with these ministers. Furthermore, His Majesty was afraid of Zisu’s financial resources. After experiencing the Battle of Southern Xinjiang, His Majesty should know that Zisu is absolutely loyal to him. Why can’t we stay in Chang’an?”

“Your Majesty and I naturally know that the Ninth Prince will not rebel, but as long as he is here, there will inevitably be some ministers in the court who are eager to move.” Bai Xu said, “If the Ninth Prince continues to stay in Chang’an, some ministers will not be honest. Although they will not do anything on the surface, it is hard to guarantee that they will not use the Ninth Prince’s name to plot against His Majesty in private.”

Bai Junzhuo lowered his eyes for a long time and said to him, “Can’t we leave after a year? Queen Fu’s body is still inseparable from my care for the time being, as well as General Hong Yin …”

Bai Xu shook his head. As he walked, he said, “Your Majesty’s decision-making mistakes in the southern border caused our army to suffer a few bitter defeats. Now, because of Empress Fu, many ministers have complained. This is the most turbulent time for the officials. The Ninth Prince must leave Chang’an within half a month or so. Otherwise, it will be bad for the country. I think this is not what the Ninth Prince wants to see.”

Bai Junzhuo laughed helplessly and asked him, “Did His Majesty ask you to convey this matter to me?”

“No,” Bai Xu said, “this is just my idea. His Majesty did not give me any hints.”

“But big brother, haven’t you always been independent, just being yourself and not caring about others?” Bai Junzhuo looked at him and said, “Why do you care about the ministers’ thoughts and drive us out of Chang’an?”

“Indeed, I don’t mind the ministers’ thoughts, but I have to think of His Majesty and the country of Li.” Bai Xu paused for a moment before continuing, “The Ninth Prince is talented and has both civil and martial skills. However, he attaches too much importance to affection and righteousness. He is definitely not the material for becoming an emperor.”

Bai Jun was speechless.

The two of them walked all the way out of the imperial palace. They were not on their way and were about to separate here. Bai Xu stopped and looked at her, “Third Sister, you said that you would stay to take care of Empress Fu and General Hong Yin. You can ask the Ninth Prince to leave Chang’an first. You can wait here alone until things are done before meeting him.”

Bai Junzhuo pursed his lips but remained silent.

“Third sister!” Bai Xu suddenly knelt down, startling Bai Junzhuo. She immediately reached out to pull him up, but Bai Xu tightly held onto her wrist and said seriously, “Go back and persuade the Ninth Prince to leave Chang’an. He really can’t stay any longer!”

Bai Junzhuo was very angry. From the beginning until now, all of the grievances had rushed up. She shook off his hand and loudly questioned him, “Why? For Yin Mu’s country, Zisu and I must give up forever? The destruction of the country has nothing to do with me, and there are ministers who want to do anything to me. Why do you think this is my fault and Zisu’s fault?”

“Third sister!”

“Enough!” Bai Junzhuo did not give him the chance to continue speaking. He only said, “In short, Zisu and I will not leave Chang’an for the time being. We will leave by ourselves in a year’s time. Even if you guys keep me, I will not stay in Chang’an anymore!”

After saying that, Bai Junzhuo ignored him and turned around to leave.

Bai Xu stood up helplessly from the ground and sighed softly.

Bai Jun returned to Ninth King’s Mansion and directly went back to the courtyard. Yin Xun seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.

When Yin Xun heard her footsteps, he raised his head and smiled at her, saying softly, “Come here.”

Bai Junzhuo restrained his mind and sat down beside him. He thought about how to speak to him, but Yin Xun opened his mouth before her and asked her, “What do you think of going to court today?”

Bai Junzhuo still wanted to hide it from him, so he said, “Nothing much. It’s just a group of ministers nagging about strengthening their defenses against Wu Country, lest they suddenly attack or something … Oh, there are still people who bring up the matter of crippling it, His Majesty is very angry.”

Yin Xun smiled and continued to ask, “What else?”

“Also?” Bai Junzhuo asked, then shook his head and said, “It’s gone. What’s the big deal? I’m bored to death. I won’t go to court again in the future.”

“You didn’t go to court to avoid being deliberately flattered and coaxed by some people, right?” Yin Xun put his hands together in front of him and said indifferently, “I sent you to the court to tell you this.”

When Bai Junzhuo saw that he could not hide anything from him, he curled his lips and asked, “So what?”

Yin Xun answered her succinctly, “So, I have to leave Chang’an as soon as possible.”

Bai Junzhuo’s expression instantly changed. He asked him, “Can’t we wait any longer? Hong Yin and Ming Yue are inseparable from me for the time being.”

Yin Xun shook his head, “No, the sooner the better, the later the mishap. But since I’m gone, you can stay in Chang’an. In a year’s time, I’ll come and pick you up …”

“I don’t want it! I don’t want it!” Bai Junzhuo said excitedly, “I will never be separated from you again. Either we stay together or we leave together!”

Yin Xun pulled her to sit down and calmly said to her, “If you leave with me, you will definitely not let go of Aunt Hong Yin and Fu Mingyue. If anything happens to them, you will be even more uneasy for the rest of your life.”

Bai Junzhuo sniffed and tears fell down his cheeks. Yin Xun held her in his arms and comforted her, “It’s not like she’s gone forever. It’s only been a year.” ‘”I will go out to look for Baoyu myself. Baoyu and I will come to pick you up in a year’s time. We will go to Yunyou Island. There is no intrigue there, and no one will force us to do things we are unwilling to do. We can live happily ever after, okay?”

Bai Junzhuo rubbed his chest and sobbed, “I don’t want to be separated from you. I want to stay with you forever, not like this.”

Yin Xun stroked her hair and said softly, “If the two love each other for a long time, then …”

“I don’t want to listen to these words!” Bai Junzhuo gave him a light hammer and raised his head. “No matter how much you tell me, I still don’t want to separate from you.”

‘”Why would I want to separate from you? I wish I could rub you into my bones and stay together all my life.” Yin Xun held her face and said, “Listen, my woman is strong and courageous, independent and self-reliant. She is considerate and loyal. Most importantly, she will definitely understand me.”

Bai Junzhuo’s eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness. Just now, when Bai Xu knelt down and begged her, she already had the consciousness that Yin Xun had to leave. However, seeing Yin Xun personally say it, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable in her heart.

“Idiot, I only left for a period of time, not to die.” Yin Xun hugged her tightly and said, “I’ll write you a letter every three days to tell you my schedule, okay?”

How could she be so ignorant when she had already said this? “I’m hungry,” Yin Xun nodded gently and lay down in Yin Xun’s arms for a while before wiping away his tears and raising his head, “I’m hungry.”

Yin Xun almost laughed out loud and hurriedly asked Xingzi to serve dinner.

After dinner, the two of them didn’t bring up this sad topic again. As usual, they seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter.

At night, after a period of warmth, both of them fell asleep.

It was a summer night with a gentle breeze. The cicadas and birds outside the window cried out as usual. There was no thundershower at the right time, nor did they hint at the boredom and heat of parting.

When Bai Junzhuo woke up the next day, Yin Xun was no longer by his side. This was the same as before. She always stayed in bed and woke up late. She rarely saw Yin Xun by her side when she opened her eyes.

She thought that today was the same as usual. She stayed in bed until noon and had to eat lunch after washing up. Only then did she realize that she had not seen Yin Xun. She asked Xingzi, “Where is His Highness?”

Xingzi hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I left the mansion with Shen Qing before dawn.”

Bai Jun’s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, and then he felt that his eyes were filled with mist, and he could no longer see anything. Xingzi hurriedly said, “Little Miss, don’t cry …”

Bai Junzhuo snorted coldly and said, “Whoever cries, it’s all your fault for making such hot food for me in the summer. It’s so hot that I can smell the water at a glance.”

Xing Zi blinked his eyes and immediately said, “Miss, what you’ve learned is that this servant will bring you iced grapes right away!”

Xingzi went out to get the grapes. Bai Jun rubbed his eyes and continued to eat.

Before Yin Xun left, he had said that his woman had to be strong and courageous, independent and self-reliant, understanding the general feelings and attaching great importance to righteousness, and pretending to be sad about parting was not what she, Bai Junzhuo, should do.

She cheered up again. When Xingzi brought the grapes over, Bai Junzhuo had already finished his meal. He came over to eat the grapes she brought over. After eating two of them, he asked Xingzi, “Is this the grapes from our palace tree?”

Xingzi nodded, “A few days ago, a batch of purple grapes came from the Western Regions. However, Miss said that they were too sweet and not delicious, so Huang Li hung them up and said that she wanted to blow them into raisins.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded his head, “The grapes here are still delicious. Go pretend to be some. Come with me to the Prime Minister’s Mansion later and give them to my brother.”

Xingzi answered and immediately went out to pick grapes.

After packing a box, Bai Junzhuo and Xingzi went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion. There were very few servants in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and the entire courtyard looked empty. Moreover, Bai Xu was not married. Without women, the Prime Minister’s Mansion was even more lonely and depressed.

Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but secretly sigh. Yesterday, he only thought of the pain of parting from Yin Xun, but he didn’t expect that Bai Xu would suffer the pain and helplessness of losing his beloved. Compared to him and Princess Guyu, the two of them were much happier.

Bai Xu smiled and welcomed Bai Junzhuo inside. Before she could say anything, he said to her, “I heard that the Ninth Prince has submitted a memorial to ask to leave Chang’an. The officials already know. Thank you for your majesty, Third Sister.”

“Don’t say such words. Yesterday, I was confused for a moment. Later on, I was taught a lesson and understood my brother’s painstaking intentions. Today, I came to apologize.” Bai Junzhuo smiled and presented a box of grapes, “I planted the grapes of our palace myself. Brother, try it.”

When Bai Xu heard that it was grapes, the smile on his face became even more intense. He then said, “When I left the Bai Clan, Third Sister was still young. Furthermore, I was very close to Third Sister. I didn’t expect Third Sister to remember that I like grapes.”

Bai Junzhuo raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Bai Xu to like grapes. This was just a coincidence.

She looked at Bai Xu happily and took the opportunity to ask, “Big brother, Grandma has always wanted you to start a family as soon as possible. Do you still have any ideas about Princess Guyu?”
