Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 69
Chapter 069 I Seem to Like Him
Cha Jinzhi waited for the next moment, but Lu Kang suddenly said, “Please trouble Lord Cha to investigate further. We must destroy the source of the poison as soon as possible. This official has urgent matters to attend to, so I will leave first!”
After saying that, before Cha Jinzhi could regain his senses, he hurriedly left.
Lu Kang went straight back to the Bai Manor to see Yin Xun. Yin Xun saw him come over and asked, “Cha Jinzhi has investigated the case clearly?”
Lu Kang shook his head and walked to Yin Xun’s side. He took out the bamboo pipe and said, “Master, look at this.”
Yin Xun lowered his head and looked at it, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
“This bamboo is covered with poison. Malenzhou used this bamboo to commit suicide in prison. The material of this bamboo pipe is extremely unique. Do you recognize it, Master?”
When Yin Xun heard what he said, he took a closer look and said to him, “Turtle Armor Bamboo?”
Lu Kang nodded his head and said, “A year ago, Wu Country paid tribute to ten tortoise shell bamboos. Eight of them were planted in the Imperial Garden. The remaining two were rewarded by His Majesty to Master and the other to King Jinnan. Do you still remember Master?”
Yin Xun thought for a moment, his expression slightly changed as he nodded.
“As far as this subordinate knows, although the turtle shell bamboo is easy to survive, it is difficult to reproduce. There should only be these ten bamboo stalks in the territory of the Li Kingdom.” As Lu Kang said this, he lowered his voice. “Not many people can enter the palace, Ninth King’s Mansion, or Jinnan Manor to obtain bamboo.”
Yin Xun nodded his head and suddenly remembered the letter he saw in Malian Prefecture. He held his chin and said, “Could it really be him? But what is the point of him selling Han Shi San in Luoyang?”
Lu Kang hurriedly asked, “Master already knows who it is?”
Just as Yin Xun was about to tell him, he suddenly heard footsteps. Mo Ying raised a letter and came in, “Master, His Majesty sent someone to deliver an urgent letter.”
He took the letter and opened it. The vigorous and powerful handwriting was indeed His Majesty’s. There were only two words written on it: “Return quickly.”
Yin Xun was slightly shocked. He asked Mo Ying, “Earlier, you went back to Xuchang to see His Majesty. Did he ask me to investigate the Han Shi San case before returning?”
Mo Ying nodded and said, “That’s what His Majesty said.”
“Is he in a hurry?”
Mo Ying shook his head, “This subordinate does not dare to speculate on the sacred intent.”
When Lu Kang heard the two of them speak, he thought for a moment and interrupted, “Mo Ying, did you ever hear any rumors when you returned to Xuchang?”
Mo Ying shook his head, paused and nodded, “I only had time to rest for a cup of tea at the relay station in front of Xuchang. I heard that His Majesty dotes on the newly promoted imperial concubine very much. In less than half a month, he has already made her the emperor’s noble imperial concubine.”
“Is there anything else?” Lu Kang asked.
Mo Ying frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head, “I don’t know.”
Lu Kang sighed in his heart and asked Mo Ying to deliver the letter. Sure enough, he only knew how to deliver the letter.
Yin Xun held the secret letter in his hand for a long time, unable to figure out why the Emperor suddenly changed his mind. What exactly happened?
Neither Lu Kang nor Mo Ying spoke, staring straight at Yin Xun, waiting for his next instruction.
After a long time, Yin Xun whispered, “Go back to Xuchang immediately.”
Lu Kang was stunned. Many doubts burst out, but in the end, he did not ask. Instead, he replied, “This subordinate understands. I will inform Shen Qing now. Oh right, Young Master Ah Qing, do you want to bring them back together?”
“No need,” Yin Xun shook his head. “Shen Qing stayed behind to protect them.”
They? Referring to Young Master Ah Qing and Miss Bai?
Hearing Yin Xun’s words, more than half of Lu Kang’s doubts disappeared. It turned out that his master did not want to leave at once, but planned to return to Xuchang and Luoyang after finishing his work.
Lu Kang pursed his lips and smiled, “If Master is reluctant to part with Miss Bai, you can take her away with you, so as to save Master from going back and forth.”
Yin Xun coldly glanced at him and said, “Nothing.”
‘”Yes, yes, yes. This subordinate is busy. This subordinate will go and warn Shen Qing to protect Miss Bai well. He will definitely not let Master see Miss Bai hurt at all when he comes back.” Lu Kang smiled meekly.
After saying that, Lu Kang turned around and left. Mo Ying had a puzzled expression on his face as he tilted his head to look at Yin Xun. Why did his master suddenly seem shy? It must be an illusion.
Lu Kang went to Bai Junzhuo’s courtyard to inform Shen Qing. Just as he was speaking, Bai Junzhuo came out with a basin of herbs as if nothing had happened. He asked Lu Kang, “I heard you say that your master is going back to Xuchang just now?”
Lu Kang hurriedly replied, “Miss Bai, there’s no need to worry. My master will come back after finishing his work.”
“Who’s worried?” Bai Junzhuo tossed the herbs into the leftovers and said to him casually, “I was just asking.”
“Is that so?” Lu Kang smiled as he looked at her. “My master left for four to five days, and for two to three years. Miss Bai must take good care of herself. If something happens to you during this period, or if you lack money again, my master will not be able to save you.”
Bai Junzhuo rolled his eyes and said, “Thank you for your trouble. I’m not that useless.”
“That’s good,” Lu Kang smiled and nodded. “My master probably leaves at Youshi,” he said intentionally or unintentionally.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly fed the mixed rat food to the rats, ignoring Lu Kang’s words.
Tsk, it’s none of her business when that person leaves. She doesn’t intend to send him off.
Yin Xun planned to stay for half a day to see if Cha Jinzhi could find anything useful, but as the hour approached, he did not hear any news from there, so he could only prepare to leave Luoyang.
Just as he was about to leave the Bai Manor’s courtyard, Yin Xun suddenly saw Bai Junzhuo walking over. He stopped and waited for her to approach, but did not speak.
Bai Junzhuo seemed to be a little angry and asked, “Are you really leaving?”
Yin Xun nodded.
“You didn’t tell me before you left?” Bai Junzhuo frowned and said, “I was wasting my time treating you as a friend.”
“Didn’t Lu Kang tell you?” Yin Xun said indifferently.
“Do you think you can be the same as others?” Bai Junzhuo suddenly raised his voice, but it softened a moment later. He sighed and said, “Alright then, you can leave.”
After saying that, Bai Junzhuo turned around to leave. Yin Xun looked at her and couldn’t help but curl his lips. “It’s not like I’m not coming back anymore,” he said softly.
Bai Junzhuo’s footsteps paused, “I don’t care if you come back, what does it have to do with me?”
“Of course it has something to do with you,” Yin Xun said. “Don’t forget, you promised me that you would remove the poison from my body.”
Bai Junzhuo remained silent. The two of them remained silent for a long time. Yin Xun said first, “It’s getting late.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Junzhuo suddenly said, “Can you wait half an hour?”
“What can I do for you?”
“Follow me.”
The White Monarch couldn’t help but pull him out to a small courtyard in the White Manor. In the middle of the courtyard was a large sycamore tree. It was early autumn, and its leaves were slightly red. It looked good in the setting sun.
Bai Jun Zhuo pulled Yin Xun to the bottom of the tree and said to him, “This was originally where Daddy refined medicine. He only brought me here when I was young, and the rest of the Bai Clan would never run here.”
Yin Xun was puzzled, “Why did you bring me here?”
Bai Junzhuo squatted down and took out the shovel behind the tree to dig for the soft soil under the tree. Not long after, she dug out a small jar. She took out the jar and said to Yin Xun, “Although Daddy’s pear wine in spring was not long enough, its fragrance is already very rich. Do you want to drink it?”
Yin Xun smiled as he looked at Bai Junzhuo’s gaze with a trace of emotion that he couldn’t even sense. Then, he said, “Alright.”
Bai Junzhuo put down the jar, ran into the room and took out two glasses of wine. Then, he sat side by side with Yin Xun under the tree and poured himself and him a cup of pear blossom wine. He said to him, “Drinking wine is a normal farewell ceremony. Don’t think about it.”
Yin Xun was puzzled, “What are you thinking?”
Bai Junzhuo blushed again and shook his head, “Nothing.”
She picked up her wine glass and drank. The ancient wine was pure. There was no alcohol blending or flavor blending. It was very delicious. A glass of wine entered his mouth and burned his abdomen all the way, giving off an aromatic and mellow smell.
She couldn’t help but drink a second cup, and then a third cup. The more she drank, the more delicious she felt. She couldn’t stop at all.
Yin Xun grabbed her hand and stopped her from drinking. He asked her, “Just drink and don’t say anything?”
Bai Junzhuo’s face flushed red and his eyes blurred as he said to him, “I seem to be about to say something … What did I say? I forgot … Haha, forget it, continue drinking!”
Yin Xun looked at her and helplessly said, “You’re drunk.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “Why did you become three or four? You’re clearly the one who was drunk.”
Yin Xun put down his glass and picked her up.
“It’s getting late. It’s time for me to go. I’ll take you back to your room first.”
“No, I don’t want to go back!” Bai Junzhuo said, “Everyone in the Bai Clan is weird. Xingzi ignores me. You have to leave now. I don’t want to go back, don’t!”
“Alright, if you don’t go back, you can sleep in this courtyard tonight.”
Yin Xun carried her into the room beside him, put her on the bed, and got up to leave. Bai Junzhuo suddenly stretched out his arms and wrapped them around him, and his hazy eyes seemed to wake up a little.
“Yin Xun, I know that your identity is extraordinary. You are definitely not as simple as the young master of an ordinary merchant.”
Yin Xun was stunned. Was she drunk or not?
“I’m just an ordinary person …”
Bai Junzhuo covered his mouth and stopped him from saying, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t know what I can’t know. It’s just that I, it’s just that I …”
“Just what?” Yin Xun asked as he pretended to be her hand.
Her expression suddenly became very confused, and she vaguely said, “Do I like you? It seems that I do, and it doesn’t seem that I do. Is it …”
Yin Xun was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud, “It should be.”
“What about you?” Bai Junzhuo stretched out his finger and poked him in the chest, “Did you …”
He took her hand, bent down and gently kissed her lips, and answered her questions in such a sentimental manner.
Bai Jun hooked his shoulders tightly in a daze. His entire brain was like a pot of thick sesame paste. Other than the sweet heat, it was completely useless.
After a long time, he let go of her and whispered in her ear, “When I come back, I’ll tell you my true identity.”
“You” Bai Junzhuo held onto his hand tightly and looked at him pitifully.
Suddenly, Lu Kang outside the door said, “Master, it’s time for us to set off.”
He gently opened her hand and covered her with the blanket, saying to her, “I’ll be back soon.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and blinked his blurry eyes before falling asleep.
Yin Xun put down the bed net for her and turned to leave.
About an hour later, Yin Xun had already left Luoyang City. The man who had been hiding in the shadows staring at Bai Junzhuo for a long time pushed open the door and entered. He lifted the veil hanging on the bed and carefully stared at Bai Junzhuo’s face.
“Sleep soundly,” he said, rubbing her lips, taking off the needles from her head, and letting her hair come loose, and stretching into the quilt, he untied her skirt.
