Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 68
Chapter 068 It’s All Weird
Nurse He was shocked and hurriedly said, “This old servant was negligent.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “I believe that Nurse He is absolutely loyal to Grandma. Since Spring Festival is yours, she will not harbor thoughts that are harmful to Grandma.” Nurse He, I want you to devote twelve percent of your energy to taking care of Grandma. You have to try everything she eats with silver needles, change the chopsticks and bowls every day, and check the beds and blankets clearly. You absolutely cannot let those who have bad intentions take advantage of the situation. ”
Nurse He hurriedly agreed, “This old servant understands.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said goodbye to Nanny He.
She had just entered Mrs. Zou’s room and started to pay attention to everything in the room. Smoking incense, flowers on the windowsill, teacups, blankets on the soft couch, she did not find anything wrong, but for some reason, she always had an ominous premonition, but she did not know where the situation was.
She couldn’t help but sigh. Perhaps she was thinking too much. Besides, there seemed to be no reason for anyone to harm her in the Bai Manor.
Bai Junzhuo returned to his courtyard and went to Xingzi’s room to see her.
As soon as she entered, Xingzi sat up from the bed and shrank to the foot of the bed. He looked at Bai Junzhuo with tears all over his face and said to her, “Miss, don’t come over!”
Bai Junzhuo was puzzled. He took two steps forward and asked, “What happened to you?”
“Don’t come over! Miss, I beg you, don’t come over, okay?” Xingzi seemed scared.
Bai Junzhuo stopped and said worriedly, “I heard that you’re not feeling well. I just want to see if you’re sick.”
Xingzi shook his head and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Young miss, this servant has been by your side since childhood. She is also proficient in medicine. This servant knows what’s wrong with her body and knows what medicine to take. Young miss, don’t worry. This servant will recover very soon. But can you not come to see this servant during this period of time?”
Bai Junzhuo frowned, “Why? What’s wrong with you that you can’t tell me?”
Xingzi just shook his head, “Miss, this servant begged you not to ask anymore. This servant promises that I can cure my illness. Miss, can you go out first?”
Seeing her like this, Bai Junzhao could only nod and say, “Alright, I won’t go over, but you should get better sooner. If you need my help, just come and find me.”
Xingzi forced out a smile and nodded, “Thank you, Miss. This servant will.”
Only then did Bai Junzhuo turn around and leave. When he reached the door, a gust of wind blew over, and the same rotten stench as last night drifted over.
Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment before walking out.
What’s going on lately? Why are all the people in the manor weird?

In the state capital prison, Malian Zhou was once again awakened by the nightmare. It took him a long time to regain his consciousness, but he suddenly discovered that there were feet in front of him, as if he had been standing for a long time.
Ma Lianzhou followed his feet and looked up. A colorful mask with a chilling expression appeared in front of him. He was startled and suddenly knelt down. He kowtowed to the person in front of him and said, “Young … Young lord, this lowly official is incompetent. Please forgive me, Young lord!”
This person threw out a bamboo tube and coldly said, “Kill Cha Jinzhi.”
Ma Lianzhou picked up the bamboo tube and said with an ugly expression, “This thing can’t be used by Xiaguan.”
“He will come and interrogate you later. Use this pipe to blow on him, and the poison inside will be blown out by you.”
Ma Lianzhou immediately nodded, “Xiaguan understands.”
The masked man said softly “hmm” and asked, “What did you do with the letters I contacted you with?”
“Don’t worry, Young Master,” said Ma Lianzhou. “I hid all those letters in a very hidden place. No one will discover them.”
The masked man suddenly pulled Malianzhou’s skirt and lifted him up. “Hide? Are you going to keep these things and threaten me in the future?” He said gloomily.
“I don’t dare! Even if I have ten thousand guts, I don’t dare to have such thoughts. Young Master, don’t be angry …” Ma Lianzhou’s face revealed fear.
“What I want is to be safe. You should destroy those things, not hide them!” The masked man threw him down and asked coldly, “Where are the letters?”
“After putting the frescoes in Xiaguan Zhengyi’s room, Young Master, don’t worry. No one would have thought that Xiaguan would hide anything there!”
The masked man turned around and left. Only then did Ma Lianzhou breathe a sigh of relief.
Cha Jinzhi thoroughly investigated the Ma Lianzhou case, but before he could report it to Zhongshu Province, Xu Chang had already sent someone to deliver the imperial edict, telling him to thoroughly investigate this matter and capture all those who secretly refined and traded drugs.
The envoy who came to deliver the decree also told him that this medicine was called Hanshi Powder. After consuming it, it would make people unable to let go of their desires and become addicted to it until their families were destroyed and they were poisoned to death.
If it weren’t for the fact that the civilian woman wasn’t afraid of the powerful coming to report the case, Luoyang would have been in a sorry state long ago by the time he discovered this medicine.
He thought for a while and thought that it would be best to start with Malenzhou, so he immediately rushed to the prison and wanted to personally interrogate Malenzhou in prison.
After entering the cell, Cha Jinzhi Wenyan said to Ma Lianzhou, “Sir Ma, this official has secretly visited the people of Luoyang. They all said that you are a good official.”
Ma Lianzhou knelt on the ground and listened to what Cha Jinzhi said. He involuntarily straightened his back and replied, “Xiaguan doesn’t dare to do that.”
Cha Jinzhi’s expression suddenly changed. He raised his voice and said, “Naturally, you don’t dare to admit your guilt. You killed your wife and even sold such a harmful thing in private. You abandoned the people of Luoyang for your own selfish desires. Do you deserve their respect for you and the black veil on your head?”
Ma Lianzhou was shocked and muttered, “Xiaguan … Xiaguan …”
“Since you know your guilt, tell me the truth,” Cha Jinzhi asked. “Who created this medicine? Who else is involved in this?”
“And Boss Shen Ze of Shen Ji Medicine Hall,” Ma Lianzhou hurriedly confessed. “He gave Xiaguan the medicine he had. It was also him who had bewitched Xiaguan to do such a thing.”
“It’s him?” Cha Jinzhi turned around and said to the person standing behind him, “Commandant Li, go and capture Shen Ze immediately.”
“Yes!” Lieutenant Li answered and left in a hurry.
“Is there anyone else besides him?” Cha Jinzhi asked.
Ma Lianzhou shook his head repeatedly, “Nothing, nothing.”
Cha Jinzhi stared at Ma Lianzhou, pondered for a moment, and said to him, “Today, the envoy from Xuchang said that the Cold Food Powder had been in vogue in Xuchang for a period of time a few years ago, but was banned by His Majesty. Those who knew about the prescription were all killed.” Now that the same thing has appeared in Luoyang, it should be the people who lived in Xuchang before. “Shen Ze is a big family in Luoyang. This official doesn’t know that he lived in Xuchang, so the source of this medicine shouldn’t be him.”
“This” Ma Lianzhou was stunned and hesitated for a while. “Shen Ze went to Xuchang to do business. Perhaps that was when he found out the prescription for the Cold Food Powder.”
“Impossible,” Cha Jinzhi shook his head. “After His Majesty discovered this medicine, he sealed Xuchang off and didn’t let anyone enter the city for half a year. If Shen Ze took the prescription before the city was locked down, then why didn’t he concoct this medicine at that time and insisted on waiting for three years? Ma Lianzhou, this official advised you not to be stubborn again!”
“Xiaguan … Xiaguan …” Ma Lianzhou’s voice trembled slightly. He looked up at Cha Jinzhi and whispered to him, “Xiaguan indeed knows who sent the prescription. However, this matter is of great importance. I hope Lord Cha can retreat everyone and have Xiaguan quietly tell Lord Cha.”
Cha Jinzhi thought for a moment and nodded. The guards and guards behind him walked out.
Ma Lianzhou touched the bamboo tube hidden behind his back and approached Cha Jinzhi. He whispered, “Xiaguan, tell Lord Cha who entered.”
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, took out the bamboo tube behind him and placed it in his mouth, and blew a mouthful of it at Cha Jinzhi.
Cha Jinzhi looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what he was doing.
A ferocious smile appeared on Ma Lianzhou’s face. Just as he was waiting for Cha Jinzhi to die from poisoning, he suddenly felt his throat tighten. Immediately after, his eyes exploded and blood flowed from his nose and mouth as he fell backwards.
Cha Jinzhi was shocked, “Hurry up and send someone!”
All the jailers guarding outside came in. Someone stepped forward to check out Tangma Lianzhou’s breath and turned to Cha Jinzhi. “Lord Cha, Lord Ma is dead.”
“Dead?” Cha Jinzhi frowned and said, “Have the coroner perform an autopsy.”
Not long after, he called the coroner over. He lowered his head and inspected the bamboo tube in Ma Lianzhou’s hand. He took it out and examined it carefully. He said to Cha Jinzhi, “Lord Cha, this person was poisoned. He died on the spot. The poison was applied to this tube.”
Cha Jinzhi quietly looked at this pipe. When he escorted Ma Lianzhou into prison last night, his entire body had been flipped over. Where did this pipe come from?
“Are you sure it was poisoning?”
The coroner nodded, “There’s nothing wrong.”
Cha Jin ordered his men to move Ma Lianzhou’s corpse to the righteous manor and leave with that pipe.
After leaving the prison, the man in green walked over and asked with a smile, “Sir Cha, may I know what the case is about? Your Majesty is still waiting for this official to reply.”
This person was Lu Kang.
“Sir Envoy, can you wait a few more days?” Cha Jinzhi’s expression turned ugly. “To tell you the truth, when Xiaoguan was interrogating Ma Lianzhou, Ma Lianzhou suddenly took out a bamboo tube and committed suicide. The clue ended here. However, don’t worry, Xiaoguan learned from Ma Lianzhou who was concocting this medicine. I believe that the real mastermind will be found soon.”
Lu Kang thought carefully about Cha Jinzhi’s words and nodded, “Is it convenient for this official to see the bamboo tube used by Malian Continent to commit suicide?”
Cha Jinzhi took out a tube and gave it to Lu Kang, “Sir, please.”
Lu Kang held the pipe in his hand. There was no sign of identity on the bamboo pipe, but the bamboo itself was extremely special. Its entire body was gray-green, and the segments on the top were like dragon scales, concave and convex, and its texture was very hard.
“This bamboo tube’s raw materials are unique. It seems like I’ve seen them somewhere …” Lu Kang muttered to himself. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind. “Could it be …”
