Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 71
Chapter 071 Moving the Capital Is Very Important
“What exactly is it?”
“But before we get down to business, should Zi Shuo visit her mother first? She missed you so much after you left for so long.”
Yin Xun clenched his fists and said patiently, “I know. Brother Huang, tell me what happened first.”
Yin Mu revealed a puzzled expression, “Why is Zisu so anxious?”
“The matter of the Cold Food Powder has not been resolved. I want to return to Luoyang as soon as possible!”
“There’s no need to worry about this Zisu,” Yin Mu said. “I have already sent people to assist Cha Jinzhi. Cha Jinzhi is not someone who eats free rice. Leave this matter to them.”
“I have other matters to attend to.”
“What is it?” Yin Mu asked curiously.
Yin Xun frowned. He couldn’t lie to his royal brother, but he couldn’t tell him. He was in a hurry to go back and see a woman.
“Zisu,” Yin Mu stared at him, “you have something to hide from me.”
Yin Xun turned around and ignored him.
Yin Mu circled around him and suddenly said, “Zisu, are you in a hurry to meet someone in Luoyang?”
Yin Xun’s expression changed slightly, but he still didn’t answer.
Yin Mu narrowed his eyes and stared at Yin Xun. He approached his face and said, “Men and women? Why are you in such a hurry to go back and see him?”
Yin Xun gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Then, he calmed down and looked straight at him. “If Royal Brother doesn’t have any instructions, I will leave first.”
‘”Wait,” Yin Mu stopped him and sighed, “When will Zi Shu be able to change his ice-cold appearance? Brother has called you back from Luoyang from afar. Naturally, there is something important to discuss. That is, to move the capital.”
“Move the capital?”
“That’s right,” Yin Mu said. “Ten years ago, in the eighth year of my ascension to the throne, I discussed the matter of moving the capital with Zisu. Because the Ancestral Emperor was born here, and had accumulated a large number of troops, he decided to set his capital at Xuchang. But when we arrive here, Xuchang’s transportation is not easy, and he often suffers from famine. In addition to the increasing number of officials in the Imperial City, the expenses of officials and salaries are also increasing day by day. Xuchang, who cannot earn money, can only wait to be eaten up! ”
Yin Xun remembered. Ten years ago, Yin Mu had indeed told him about moving the capital. However, at that time, he was only a young man who had just reached the championship. He was unable to understand Yin Mu’s ambitions and painstaking efforts.
“Where does Royal Brother want to move the capital?” Yin Xun asked.
“Chang’an.” Yin Mu said, “There is a canal in Chang’an. In addition, the weather is suitable and the weather is smooth. It will definitely guarantee the stability of our country for several decades.”
“But the matter of relocating the capital is of great importance. Has Imperial Brother handled everything properly?”
“I have spent ten years deploying my forces,” Yin Mu smiled. “Follow me to the taxi. Most of the officials, merchants, and gentry are from me. Didn’t Zisu always let me deal with the Fu Clan? I also wish to uproot the power of the Fu Clan as soon as possible. “But the people waiting are intertwined in Xuchang. If I find out seriously that they might implicate thousands of people, then I will leave Xuchang!”
Yin Xun quietly listened to him and asked, “When will we move the capital?”
“On the 18th of this month, I will seal Mount Song and move the capital on the same day.”
“Eighteen?” Yin Xun hesitated slightly and said, “Three days later? So urgent?”
“I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but you stayed in Luoyang and didn’t want to come back.” Yin Mu turned around and stared at Yin Xun. “Zishu, when you were about to leave, didn’t you say that you would come back after avoiding the limelight of Prince Jinnan’s death?” “It only took me a few days to settle this matter after you left. Why haven’t you returned yet?”
“Because I have to deal with matters in the mall over there.” This was not cheating the emperor. After all, he had secretly controlled most of the kiln factories and coal transportation business in Luoyang during the period of his entanglement with Bai Junzhuo, adding a lot of money to his royal brother’s treasury.
“Is that all?” Yin Mu did not believe it. He approached him step by step and stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, he said, “Zisu, you are not young anymore. Mother has nothing to do recently and has found many young ladies for you. You should choose at least one in three days and bring them to Chang’an so that Mother can feel at ease.”
“What?” Yin Xun was shocked, and the drunken Bai Junzhuo said that he liked him last night involuntarily appeared in his mind. Without hesitation, he immediately rejected, “I don’t need it!”
“Zisu!” Yin Mu looked at him and said, “Don’t be willful. This is what Mother meant.”
Yin Xun’s attitude was firm as he raised his hand and said, “Brother Huang, I will definitely do my best to cooperate with you in the capital relocation. However, I don’t have to worry about my sons and daughters for the time being.” “Brother Mother will personally tell her that if there is nothing else, I will leave first.”
After saying that, Yin Xun did not even look at Yin Mu as he turned around and left the Imperial Study.
He rushed over and left in a hurry. The father-in-law guarding the door was dumbfounded. Only when another person came from the opposite direction with the food box did the father-in-law regain his senses. He immediately bowed and said, “This servant kowtowed to Consort Shu.”
Imperial Concubine Shu withdrew her gaze from Yin Xun and said to the public, “No need for courtesy.”
Eunuch stood up and saw that Imperial Concubine Shu was holding a food box in her hand. She immediately said, “The Emperor was talking about Your Majesty’s cooking not long ago. Your Majesty sent the food over. Your Majesty is really considerate. This servant will go in and inform Your Majesty.”
“Thank you, Eunuch.”
Not long after, Eunuch came out again and brought Imperial Concubine Shu inside. She saw Yin Mu and was about to salute when Yin Mu hurriedly stepped forward to support her and chuckled, “Imperial Concubine Shu, don’t be too polite.”
Yin Mu sat down with her. Imperial Concubine Shu took out the contents of the food box and said, “Is Your Majesty hungry? Your concubine specially made some food for you.”
Yin Mu looked over and saw a bowl of steaming dumplings on the table. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. He said to her, “Ai Fei, you have your heart.”
Imperial concubine Shu pursed her lips and smiled, “Your Majesty does not dislike me for being stupid. I only know how to make dumplings, and I can’t make them look good.”
“I have never valued appearance. How can I care if the food is good or not? The most important thing is that it tastes good.”
Hearing this, Imperial Concubine Shu thoughtfully touched her face.
That’s right. Although the man in front of him is the Lord of the World, he treats her with utmost sincerity. He won’t be fooled by the appearance of a beautiful woman like an ordinary man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have doted on her so much.
Yin Mu ate more than half a bowl of dumplings. Seeing Imperial Concubine Shu staring at him, he couldn’t help but stop and ask, “What is Imperial Concubine Ai thinking?”
Imperial Concubine Shu came back to her senses and smiled. “I happened to see Ninth Prince just now. I was a little shocked. I thought that Ninth Prince would stay in Luoyang forever.”
“Huh?” Yin Mu was also shocked and asked, “Why did you say that?”
Imperial Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled. She whispered to Yin Mu, “This concubine knows some incredible things about the Ninth Prince.”
“What is it?”
Imperial Concubine Shu put her mouth close to Yin Mu’s ear and slowly told him what she knew.

Luoyang was in chaos at this moment. With the sudden death of Ma Lianzhou and Shen Ze’s capture, the noble young masters who had taken the Cold Food Powder for a long time were unable to buy medicine. They were unable to cure their drug addiction and rushed into the yamen of the prefecture to cause trouble.
Cha Jinzhi couldn’t imprison these people, and in his heart, these people were all victims. He ordered someone to bring Shen Ze over and interrogate him, “You concocted this poison. Do you have a way to cure it?”
Originally, Shen Ze had relied on the support of Malianzhou, and there was a greater power behind Malianzhou, so he never put Cha Jinzhi in his eyes. But now that Malianzhou was dead, his backer had fallen.
He hurriedly shook his head and said in fear, “I also obtained the prescription from a man wearing a mask. That man did not give me the antidote to the Cold Food Powder, or perhaps there is no antidote to the Cold Food Powder at all.”
“Who is that man?”
“I don’t know. He has always been wearing a mask.” Shen Ze put on a pitiful look. “I was also forced. He poisoned me. The medicine made my internal organs as painful as insect erosion. If I listened to him, he would give me an antidote a day. If I didn’t listen, I would die!”
Cha Jinzhi frowned, “Then you shouldn’t harm anyone. How innocent are the people who ate the Cold Food Powder? Why should they bear the pain for you?”
Shen Ze said repeatedly, “Xiaomin knows his mistake!”
Cha Jinzhi waved his hand and asked people to stay with him. He looked at the group of people in the courtyard who looked like they were crazy and didn’t know what to do.
Not long after, Commandant Li brought a group of doctors over and ordered them to check the pulse of these young masters. Half an hour later, everyone was worried and said to Cha Jinzhi, “Lord Cha, there is no cure for this poison.”
“Is there really no other way?” Cha Jinzhi said worriedly.
The doctors whispered to each other for a moment before saying, “Third Miss Bai of the Bai Clan’s Medicine Hall is skilled in medicine. I heard that she is the reincarnation of the Holy Maiden, so she should be able to solve it.”
When Cha Jinzhi saw that everyone was saying this, he instructed Lieutenant Li, “Quickly go to the White Manor and invite Third Miss Bai over.”
Commandant Li accepted the order to leave, and soon brought Bai Junzhuo over.
Bai Junzhuo looked at the situation and knew that these people were addicted to drugs. However, drug addiction could never be treated with drugs. If they were replaced with drugs, they would not be able to cure their addiction even if they were able to cure their addiction. For people with weak willpower, they could only take tough measures.
She said to Cha Jinzhi, “Lord Cha, there is a way to cure this poison. However, you have to cooperate with me in everything I say next.”
Cha Jinzhi nodded, “Miss Bai, you can do it.”
“Alright, let’s first put everyone in prison alone. We can’t let them come into contact with each other. We can only give them millet porridge and sweet potatoes for three days, and we can’t let them see their families.”
Cha Jinzhi hesitated slightly, “You don’t want them to see their family? But they are …”
‘”I know.” Bai Junzhuo glanced at these people. They were dressed beautifully and were no ordinary young masters. “Lord Cha can send people to tell their families the truth. I believe they will understand Lord Cha. If they don’t understand, Lord Cha will probably offend these people.”
Cha Jinzhi immediately said, “This official is not afraid of offending people. If there is a way to save these people, this official will definitely not hesitate to pay any price.”
“Alright, Lord Cha, please do it immediately. I’ll come back in three days.”
Bai Junzhuo prepared everything and left. When she returned to the Bai Manor, it was already late. She went to check on Xingzi’s illness and then returned to the pharmacy to continue dispensing medicine.
She suddenly felt that someone was secretly looking at her!
Bai Junzhuo, who was dispensing the medicine, looked out of the window and shouted, “Who is hiding there sneakily?”
