Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 74
Chapter 074 Mrs. Zou Is Blind
“Third young miss, something bad has happened!”
Nanny He’s face was full of anxiety, her eyes flashing with unease.
“Granny He, calm down first. What exactly happened?”
“Old Lady’s eyes …”
“What happened to Grandma’s eyes?”
Nanny He’s expression was ugly. “Third Miss, you should go with this old servant first.”
Bai Junzhuo thought that something big must have happened, so he immediately got up and rushed to Madam Zou’s place with Nanny He.
After entering Mrs. Zou’s room, Bai Junzhuo saw that the doctors under Mrs. Zou were all surrounding Mrs. Zou, and Lin Bailian was sitting at the side crying. Bai Junzhuo’s heart froze. Could it be Mrs. Zou …
“What are you crying about! I’m not dead yet!”
Madam Zou’s roar interrupted Bai Junzhuo’s wild imagination. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Grandma, what’s wrong with you?”
Mrs. Zou listened to Bai Junzhuo’s voice and said in a slightly calm tone. She raised her blank eyes to look at Bai Junzhuo and said, “Zhuo’er, when Grandma woke up this morning, she felt her eyes itch. She didn’t care at that time, but now she can’t see anything at all.”
“What?” Bai Junzhuo was shocked and waved her hand in front of Mrs. Zou. Her pupils did not react at all.
She pulled Mrs. Zou’s hand to check her pulse. After a while, Mrs. Zou asked, “Zhuo’er, what happened to Grandma’s eyes?”
Bai Junzhuo hesitated and said, “It seems to be poisoned, but I don’t know what kind of poison it is, so I don’t know how to cure it.”
Madam Zou was calmer than the others. He nodded to her and said, “The other doctors also said that I was poisoned, but I don’t know what it was.”
Bai Junzhuo put down her hand and said, “Grandma, I want to check everything you’ve eaten recently and see if I can find any clues.”
Madam Zou nodded, “Go.”
Bai Junzhuo stood up and said to the doctors who were waiting, “Grandma has a lot of things in her room, so I want you to help me find them together.”
As she spoke, she swept her gaze over the crowd and pointed at the two of them. “You two go to the kitchen to check what Grandma ate and what she used. If you’ve already washed the dishes, check if there’s anything wrong with the water. You two go to the raccoon yard to check Grandma’s clothes. Leave the rest here and check everything in this room.”
The people below obeyed and began to move.
Bai Junzhuo also checked with them. He was very puzzled in his heart. Madam Zou’s courtyard was filled with her trusted aides who had used it for decades. It was impossible for anyone to sneak in. Moreover, the entire Bai Clan was proficient in pharmacology. Poisoning was the easiest method to discover. Who would dare to act so boldly?
Just as she was thinking, Madam Zou suddenly scolded Lin Bailian and said, “Look at Zhuo’er, then look at you. If you can’t do anything, you’ll know how to cry! I really regret handing over the authority of the clan to you!”
Hearing this, Bai Junzhuo turned to look at Lin Bailian and saw a trace of ruthlessness and schadenfreude flash across Lin Bailian’s eyes as she stared at Madam Zou.
Could it be her?
Bai Junzhuo frowned. Impossible, right? It was impossible for Lin Bailian to harm anyone. After all, Madam Zou was her only backer. If Madam Zou hadn’t protected her until today, she would have already died tens of thousands of times.
Bai Junzhuo stopped thinking and continued searching.
They were busy until midnight, and the doctors came back one after another, saying that they didn’t find anything wrong.
Bai Junzhuo pondered for a moment and asked, “It’s a third poison. Did you check Grandma’s medicine? Did you drink too much when you were drinking?”
A doctor immediately replied, “Third Miss, Old Lady’s body has always been strong. He hasn’t taken any medicine. Recently, the weather has turned cold. Old Lady coughed a little, but he didn’t take any medicine either. He only used the Genkwa pillow personally sewn by Auntie Lin.”
Auntie Lin immediately pointed at the man and said, “What do you mean?”
Bai Junzhuo glanced at her and asked another person, “Did you check the Genkwa pillow just now? Is there a problem?”
The man shook his head and said, “There are all dried daphne flowers in there. It is very helpful to the old lady’s cough and there is nothing wrong with the amount.”
“Do you hear me?” Lin Bailian looked at Bai Junzhuo angrily.
Bai Junzhuo felt that she was really innocent. She didn’t say those words, and she didn’t suspect that Lin Bailian had harmed Madam Zou.
“Zhuo’er, could it be that you can’t cure my eyes without finding out what poison you used?” Madam Zou asked.
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and said to her, “Grandma, don’t worry. Although I don’t know what kind of poison you’ve been poisoned for the time being, I’ll treat your liver first. Grandma, drink some wood thieves and cao Jueming. Even if you can’t cure it, it won’t make it worse.”
Mrs. Zou nodded and said, “Yes, do as Zhuo’er says.”
Bai Junzhuo turned to Mammy He and said, “Mammy He, this medicine can only be prepared by you. No one is allowed to pass through it.”
Nurse He hurriedly replied, “This old servant understands.”
Mrs. Zou yawned and waved her hand, “It’s getting late. It’s too late for everyone to go back to sleep because of their old body.”
After saying that, Nurse He immediately stepped forward and helped Madam Zou into the room.
Everyone else went back as well. Bai Junzhuo and Lin Bailian were at the end. Just as they left, Lin Bailian said to Bai Junzhuo, “I really don’t know which one. How dare you harm my aunt with such courage.”
Lin Bailian deliberately bit down on the word “aunt”.
Bai Junzhuo raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Lin Bailian had taken a detour when she saw her these days. She almost thought that Lin Bailian was completely harmless, but she actually took the initiative to speak to her today?
“Auntie, don’t you think grandma is really powerful?”
“Of course,” Lin Bailian smiled. “After all, she is the one who really controls everything in the Bai Clan. You and I are just living little shrimps in front of her.”
‘”Concubine mother is right,” Bai Junzhuo smiled. “My eyes suddenly went blind. If it was any other old man, I wouldn’t have known how panicked they were, but Grandma wasn’t in a hurry. Why does Concubine mother feel so calm?”
“Of course, it’s because Auntie is amazing. Auntie has lived for most of her life and has never seen anything like this.”
“I don’t think so,” Bai Junzhuo stared into her eyes and said to her, “I think Grandma must know who poisoned her. She didn’t say it out loud, just wanted to give that person a chance.”
A trace of panic flashed through Lin Bailian’s eyes. She immediately asked, “Oh? Is that so?”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, “No one in the Bai Clan dares to make trouble under Grandma’s eyes. I also dare not. Auntie, do you dare?”
Lin Bailian moved her eyes away. “What did Zhuo’er say? I will definitely not harm her. She is not only my mother-in-law, but also my aunt!”
“Auntie? Once there’s an interest involved, so what if my own mother is involved?” Bai Junzhuo sneered, “But concubine mother, I don’t doubt you. I’m just reminding you kindly.”
Lin Bailian clenched her fists and smiled, “Thank you for your kindness, Zhuo’er. Concubine mother also reminded you not to underestimate others.”
“Mm, it’s getting late. Auntie, go back to bed early.”
Hearing this, Lin Bailian nodded and left earlier.
Bai Junzhuo looked at her back and muttered, “If it wasn’t for her, who would it be?”
*
Imperial Capital, Jingyang Palace.
The empress dowager was lying on the soft couch carved out of gold and jade. Although she was over half a hundred years old, the chilly aura on her body did not diminish at all. Although there were fine fish patterns at the corner of her eyes, she still could not conceal the peerless beauty of her youth.
She looked at Yin Xun who was sitting at the bottom and said, “Xun’er, you’ve been away for a while now.”
Yin Xun nodded and obediently replied, “I have something urgent to attend to.”
“Has this urgent matter been settled?” The Empress Dowager asked.
“No.” Yin Xun immediately shook his head, “So this matter is over. I still have to go back to Luoyang.”
“Let it go before you’re done,” said the Empress Dowager. “Zisu, you’re not young anymore. Do you want Mother to help you choose a princess, or do you want to choose yourself?”
Yin Xun immediately said, “Your son chooses for himself. I don’t dare to trouble Mother Empress.”
“Alright, you can choose for yourself,” the Empress Dowager nodded. “Yun Yue, the daughter of the Fu Hou Clan, Yu Die, the daughter of the Feng Tai Fu Clan, and Qian Qian, the granddaughter of the General Ye Clan, are of the same grade in appearance and conduct. You can choose one.”
Yin Xun frowned. So what he had chosen was to choose one of the candidates she had given him?
“Mother, I don’t want to …”
“Cough cough cough …” Before Yin Xun could finish his words, the Empress Dowager held her chest and coughed. “Xun’er, your mother went early. You grew up beside the Ai Clan. In the Ai Clan’s heart, you are the biological son of the Ai Clan, just like Mu’er.”
Yin Xun hurriedly stepped forward and patted the Empress Dowager’s back. “I understand.”
“Do you know that the thing an old man wants to see the most is his children and grandchildren, but you and Mu’er are too disappointing to the Ai Clan,” said the Empress Dowager. ‘”In the entire harem, Mu’er has not touched more than five women. Today, there is only one little princess, and you are not even willing to marry a concubine. Are you two annoyed with the Ai Clan? Do you want to anger the Ai Clan to death?” She couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Mother Empress” Yin Xun’s expression turned ugly, not knowing how to comfort her.
“Since that’s the case, you should give the Princess to the Ai Clan.” The Empress Dowager couldn’t help but say to him, “There’s no need for you to choose. I guess you don’t have the mood to choose either. Just Yun Yue.”
‘”Mother,” Yin Xun’s face was full of unwillingness. “You have already stuffed a daughter of the Fu Clan beside Brother Huang. Do you still want to stuffed another one for your son?”
“You … cough cough cough …” The Empress Dowager could not say a word and coughed again.
Yin Xun was helpless, so he could only comfort her, “Mother, don’t be angry. First of all, you have to let your son meet that person when you marry a concubine.”
“Alright,” the Empress Dowager stopped coughing and raised her head. “The Ai Clan will call Yun Yue out to see you tomorrow.”
Yin Xun gritted his teeth and nodded. Anyway, when the time came to meet him, it would be good if he picked a flaw and said that he wasn’t satisfied.
When he came out of the Jing Yang Palace, he left the palace with Lu Kang, who was waiting for him outside the door, and returned to the palace.
When Lu Kang saw that his master’s face was full of worry, he also sighed and said, “This subordinate has only been in Xuchang for a day, and I can’t help but want to go back to Luoyang.”
Yin Xun raised his head to look at him, “Are you in a hurry to go back?”
“That’s right. After this subordinate separated from that person, I really thought about it day and night. His figure appeared in front of me all the time, causing this subordinate to be unable to eat or sleep at night.” Lu Kang smiled at Yin Xun and said, “Your Highness must be the same, right?”
“Who are you thinking about?”
“It’s the same person as Master.”
Yin Xun’s eyes darkened, “You actually treated her …”
‘”That’s right,” Lu Kang looked at Yin Xun amusedly. “This subordinate and Shen Qing’s good brothers of a few years have only been separated for a day now, and they have been thinking too much about it. Your Highness is definitely the same, right?”
So he was talking about Shen Qing.
Yin Xun did not answer, but he heaved a sigh of relief.
Lu Kang smiled like a fox. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and muttered, “Tonight’s moon is really round.”
Just as he finished saying this, he suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something and said in a daze, “Your Highness, have you noticed something wrong?”
