Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 66
Chapter 066 There Is a World Behind the Cabinet
Commandant Li removed the door, only to see a few pieces of clothing. He threw all the clothes out and emptied the cabinet without seeing any living creatures.
Commandant Li rubbed his head. Could it be that he heard wrongly? Or has that person already escaped?
He searched the room again, but still didn’t find anyone, so he left the room again.
When Bai Junzhuo heard the commotion outside, he quieted down and said to Yin Xun with lingering fear, “We really have nowhere to go.”
Yin Xun lit the torch and said, “I didn’t expect that you would actually touch the mechanism in the cabinet. There’s still such a place behind the cabinet.”
Bai Junzhuo looked around by the fire. On the left was the wooden board of the cabinet, and on the right was a wall. There was only about two feet between them. She and Yin Xun could only lean against each other.
Bai Junzhuo nodded and muttered, “No wonder …”
“No wonder?” Yin Xun asked.
“When I observed this room, I thought it was smaller than Auntie Mei’s. I didn’t think it was because there was another floor.” Bai Junzhuo laughed as he spoke, “When I fell from the cabinet to this side, I thought I would arrive in the Kingdom of Narnia.”
Yin Xun was puzzled and asked seriously, “What country is Narnia?”
“Narnia is a world ruled by a big lion. The entrance to it is the wardrobe,” Bai Junzhuo recalled the movies he had seen in modern times and described them to Yin Xun. However, his expression dimmed as he spoke. “You don’t know.”
Yin Xun looked at her calmly. “If you tell me, I’ll know.”
“You won’t believe it even if you say it. Besides, there’s nothing else to say.”
Bai Junzhuo’s voice became lower and lower, so much so that Yin Xun couldn’t hear her words clearly, “There’s a generation gap between us for thousands of years, you stupid ancient man.”
She had an unfathomable look on her face, but when she looked carefully, there was a hint of loneliness and helplessness in her eyes. She, the daughter of a merchant family, definitely wouldn’t have so many secrets.
“Not necessarily,” Yin Xun hooked her chin again, forcing her to look him in the eye. “If you don’t want to talk about it, believe it or not, it’s up to me. If you feel uncomfortable holding back these secrets, you can tell me. No matter how unbelievable things are, I won’t laugh at you.”
Bai Jun bit his lower lip and a light flashed in his eyes, “You … Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“Which one?” Yin Xun seemed to not know.
“That’s right” Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a long time before saying, “That’s right, is it suddenly so gentle?”
Yin Xun replied indifferently, “Because I am naturally well-bred, so I will not argue with any idiot who is full of nonsense. Also, I am relatively idle.”
What does this mean? Because he was idle, he listened to her nonsense to pass the time?
Bai Junzhuo shook off his hand and angrily said, “Drink more water when it’s salty!”
Seeing her expression disappear, Yin Xun smiled and said, “There seems to be a box behind you. Let’s see what’s inside.”
Bai Junzhuo turned around angrily. Seeing that this box was similar to the box in the Shen Clan’s secret room, he was shocked. Could it be that this box was also the Cold Food Powder?
Seeing that there was also a lock hanging on it, he said to Yin Xun, “There’s a lock on it. I can’t open it.”
Yin Xun took a step forward and signaled for Bai Junzhuo to let him pass. Bai Junzhuo’s body was already close to the wall, and the gap between them seemed to be unable to pass.
“Otherwise, I’ll go out of here first.” Bai Junzhuo said.
“No need,” Yin Xun lowered his head to take a look. “It’s so small, you can go over there.”
Afterwards, he leaned sideways and followed Bai Junzhuo over.
Bai Junzhuo was dumbfounded. When Yin Xun unlocked the box and took out the contents, he realized that this person was clearly teasing her just now and disliked her small chest!
Her face flushed red and she raised her hand to sneak attack Yin Xun from behind. She didn’t expect that Yin Xun would suddenly turn around and easily take her hand. She held her wrist tightly and said, “Why are you angry again?”
“You just … you actually said that I …”
“What did I say to you?” Yin Xun was puzzled.
When Bai Junzhuo saw that he was so serious, he couldn’t help but feel a little panicked. Perhaps the “little” he had just mentioned didn’t mean this? Did he think too much?
She hesitated for a moment, then blushed and said, “What did you just say about’little ‘…”
Yin Xun nodded. This time, he really stared blatantly at Bai Junzhuo’s chest and said indifferently, “So this is why you’re angry? If you don’t like to hear people say that you’re’small ‘, then I’ll say that you’re’flat’.”
Bai Junzhuo raised his other hand to hit him and scolded, “Dirty!”
The other hand was also controlled. Yin Xun calmly said, “If I’m not mistaken, the box is filled with Cold Food Powder. Do you intend to continue messing with me, or do you want Cha Jinzhi’s subordinates to find this as soon as possible?”
Hearing this, Bai Junzhuo glared at him fiercely.
Forget it, as an intellectual woman who used to live in the new century, what’s the big deal about her body being judged by others? Besides, how could breast injustice calm the world? What did he know about this stupid ancient man?
Bai Junzhuo looked over and saw that the box was indeed filled with Cold Food Powder. He really didn’t expect that Ma Lianzhou would actually hide the poison here.
“Lord Cha has already sent people to search this place. He probably won’t come back again. How can he discover these things?” Bai Junzhuo asked.
“Bring someone over?”
After thinking for a while, Bai Junzhuo raised his head and said to him, “Now that Lord Cha has taken Malian Prefecture away on the charge of killing his wife, he must send someone to bring other concubines of Malian Prefecture over. Why don’t we scatter this box of cold food in Concubine Mei’s courtyard?”
“Alright, I’ll send someone to carry this box out.” Yin Xun nodded.
“Let’s go.”
He pushed open the back wall of the cabinet and walked out. Outside, Bai Junzhuo took a deep breath and finally saw the outside world!
The rest of the matter developed logically, Sure enough, Cha Jinzhi had sent someone to interrogate Concubine Mei. When the yamen attendant entered Concubine Mei’s courtyard, he saw a box filled with bags of white powder under a large tree. He brought the box back to the prefecture. Cha Jinzhi hired several doctors to analyze the effects of the medicine overnight. It was exactly as the civilian woman said.
In the court, Cha Jinzhi was extremely angry. He pointed at the box of things and asked Ma Lianzhou, “Ma Lianzhou, as the satrap of Luoyang, you are the father and mother of the people of Luoyang. Why did you create such a wicked thing to harm the people?”
Ma Lianzhou’s body trembled like chaff, but he was puzzled in his heart. Shen Ze gave him these medicines, saying that he could earn a lot of money. He only sold the medicines to the children of wealthy families, not to ordinary people. Moreover, those children of wealthy families had long been addicted to them and were unable to extricate themselves. It was impossible for them to report to the officials. How did Cha Jinzhi know?
“You killed your wife and harmed her, and your sin is even worse!” Cha Jin shocked everyone and said coldly, “What else do you have to say now?”
“Lord Cha, I’m wronged!” Ma Lianzhou hurriedly cried out for redress, but he couldn’t think of a reason.
Cha Jinzhi said, “Someone, bring Malian Continent to prison and wait for your orders!”
Ma Lianzhou was taken down by the yamen servant. However, he was also the satrap of Luoyang and held an official position. In order to deal with him, Cha Jinzhi had to report to Zhongshu Province. It was estimated that he would have to wait for some time.
Commandant Li stepped forward and said, “My lord, what should we do with this box of injurious things?”
After pondering for a while, Cha Jinzhi said, “Destroy all of them. Also, keep an eye on Ma Lianzhou and don’t let anything happen to him in prison.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”

Yin Xun and Bai Junzhuo returned to the Bai Manor together. Because of Bai Junzhuo’s inconvenience, Yin Xun personally sent her back to her courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, the first person to greet him was actually Ah Qing. He jumped over and hesitated between the two of them for a while before choosing to hug Yin Xun’s thigh. He raised his head and said to him, “Big brother, you’re back.”
He spoke very slowly, word for word, but he could articulate clearly. It seemed that his illness had really healed.
Bai Junzhuo crouched down and pulled him over to face him. “Why aren’t you sleeping so late? Are you sleepy?” He asked softly.
“I’ve been asleep all afternoon,” Ah Qing shook her head and looked at Yin Xun. “There was another big brother I didn’t know who came to look for you just now.”
“Looking for me?”
Yin Xun pointed at himself. Just as he was about to ask who it was, he saw Mo Ying appear and said to Yin Xun, “Master.”
Ah Qing pointed at him and said, “It’s him.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at Mo Ying. It had been a while since he had seen him.
Yin Xun nodded and bid farewell to Bai Junzhuo before leaving the courtyard with Mo Ying.
Outside, Mo Ying took out a long box and handed it to Yin Xun. “This subordinate has already handed over the letter written by Master to His Majesty. This is what His Majesty told this subordinate to bring to Master.”
Yin Xun took it and opened it. Inside was a blank imperial edict. It had already been sealed. He immediately put away the imperial edict.
“Master, His Majesty told this subordinate to tell you that the matter of the Cold Food Powder must be eliminated. In addition, His Majesty also told this subordinate to return to Xuchang as soon as possible.”
“As soon as possible? Has anything happened in Xuchang recently?”
“This subordinate only knows that His Majesty recently accepted the young miss of Lord Fu’s family as his imperial concubine. Because he hastily returned, he did not investigate other matters.”
Yin Xun thought for a moment and nodded, “I know.”

Bai Junzhuo brought Ah Qing into his room. Xingzi brought a snack and said, “Miss hasn’t eaten yet, right? This servant has already sent someone to prepare it. Miss, eat some snacks first.”
Bai Junzhuo picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Ah Qing. Ah Qing stretched out her small hand and took it. She raised her head and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Thank you big sister.”
Bai Jun’s big clear eyes melted his heart. He couldn’t help but pinch his little face and say to him, “Ah Qing is so cute.”
Ah Qing giggled, her short legs flapping on the stool.
Not long after, the servant brought up the food. Bai Jun had eaten half a chicken in a day. He was indeed a little hungry. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up the food. He put it into his mouth and chewed. He felt that it was hard to swallow.
Xing Zi hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong, Miss?”
“Today, I ate the dishes cooked by the number one chef in Luoyang. That taste is simply too wonderful. I can’t swallow anything right now.” Bai Junzhuo put down his chopsticks.
“Ah? Then what should we do? Otherwise, this servant will go get some digesting medicine for Miss to drink.”
“No need. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I’ll forget about the smell.” Bai Junzhuo looked at Xingzi and suddenly found that her face was swollen and seemed to be bleeding. He asked, “What are you doing here?”
Xingzi rubbed his face and said, “The mosquitoes in early autumn are too powerful. After this servant was bitten, she scratched her bag.”
“Oh, so it’s like this. In the future, you should order mosquito repellent grass when you sleep.” Bai Junzhuo instructed.
“Yes, this servant knows.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded. Suddenly, he frowned and sniffed. “Did you smell anything? Faint, as if something had rotted away?” He asked.
