Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 76
Chapter 076 Bai Jun Was Enraged
“Miss, is this servant … unable to give birth forever?”
Bai Junzhuo’s hand trembled slightly, and a trace of nervousness flashed through his pitch-black eyes. He hurriedly comforted, “What nonsense is this? I will cure you. Don’t be afraid.”
Xing Zi’s face was pale. He shook his head and said, “Miss, don’t lie to this servant. This servant realized it when you gave this servant the needle this morning and secretly went to see Uncle Liu without telling Miss. Uncle Liu told me everything about this servant’s illness.”
“Xingzi …”
Xingzi shook his head and said, “This servant’s body is clean. She shouldn’t have decayed like this. This servant is not pregnant, but half an hour ago, blood started to flow from there …”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression immediately changed. He said with concern, “Hemorrhage? Quickly sit down. I’ll give you acupuncture to stop the bleeding.”
Xingzi wiped away his tears and sobbed, “Miss, don’t worry. This servant has already stopped bleeding. Is this servant really unable to do so in this lifetime? Please don’t lie to this servant, Miss. Give this servant a letter. Otherwise, even if this servant leaves Miss and marries someone else in the future, it will harm this servant for the rest of my life.”
Bai Junzhuo felt uncomfortable in his heart. However, what Xingzi said was indeed reasonable. It made her confused and ignorant. It was better to let her know earlier and then nodded.
Xing Zi seemed to have suddenly lost all of his strength and sat on the ground dejectedly.
Seeing her like this, Bai Junzhuo’s heart tightened. He bent down to hold her hand and said, “Don’t worry, after I earn enough money, I’ll give you a house to settle outside. You can also take care of your husband, and you can marry him. I think your husband’s family won’t make things difficult for you with the house in hand.”
Xing Zi looked at Bai Junzhuo with tears rolling down his eyes. He was silent for a long time and shook his head gently. “This servant wanted to leave Miss after she got married, but now this servant doesn’t think so anymore. This servant wants to follow Miss for the rest of my life!”
“Don’t say that,” Bai Junzhuo said hurriedly. “You’ve been with me for so long, and I’m reluctant to let you down.”
Xingzi forced a smile and said to her, “This servant is also reluctant to part with Miss. Miss, don’t drive this servant away.”
“Xingzi …”
Bai Junzhuo still wanted to say something, but Xingzi suddenly interrupted her and said, “Miss, this servant only has one request.”
“Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it.”
Xingzi gradually calmed down and said, “Miss said before that this servant has become like this because of medicine, but this servant has never used any medicine, only the ointment Auntie Lin gave to Miss. This servant wants to know who is trying to harm this servant?”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Even if you don’t tell me, I will help you investigate. I will definitely not let this person off.”
Xingzi nodded and helped Bai Junzhuo stand up. “By the way, young miss, this servant studied pharmacology with you under Master before. It seems that I have learned some kind of medicine to counteract it …” he added.
Before Xing Zi could finish his words, Bai Junzhuo was suddenly stunned and immediately asked, “Xing Zi, have you seen any changes in your clothes recently?”
Xingzi immediately understood what Bai Junzhuo meant. After thinking for a while, he replied, “This servant’s clothes are all washed by herself. No one else can tamper with them. The cook who cooked for Miss previously only cooked for our servants because of the new cook, so she is a little different from the food she ate before.”
Bai Junzhuo pondered for a moment and said to the outside, “Shen Qing, help me call over the cook from before.”
Hearing this, Shen Qing went to the kitchen and called for the cook. The cook went in and bowed, “Greetings, Third Miss.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at her. The cook seemed to be in her fifties and looked honest. She softened her tone and asked, “Have you been cooking for the servants in my courtyard recently?”
The cook nodded, “This old servant originally cooked for Third Miss, but a new cook came the day before yesterday. She cooked for Third Miss, so this old servant only cooked for servants in the courtyard.”
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “What have you been cooking lately?”
The cook thought for a moment and replied, “The meat is shredded white gourd soup. The vegetables are mushrooms, vegetables, radishes, potatoes, and corn flour.”
These foods are very ordinary and will not be matched.
Bai Junzhuo asked again, “Is there no more? Where are the ingredients?”
“Pepper, pepper, oil, salt, onion, garlic …” The cook counted carefully and finally said, “There’s still room for improvement.”
“Step by step?” Bai Junzhuo immediately asked, “This thing can also be served?”
The cook nodded. “A few days ago, a girl in the courtyard came over with a handful of delicacies. She said that this thing smells good and is a medicinal ingredient. I asked this servant to use her to cook fish for Third Miss to eat. This servant didn’t even cook a single meal. The new cook came.”
If Xingzi’s illness was really caused by drugs, then only this high level was a problem. However, this thing was originally intended to be cooked for her to eat, so the original goal was to harm her?
“Which girl gave you Jiejiegao?”
“That old servant knows her. She was from the Young Miss’s courtyard earlier. Her name is Huang Ju.”
Since it was her, everything made sense. But this time, it was eaten by all the servants in the courtyard. Why was there only apricot?
Bai Junzhuo thought for a long time and discovered that the apricot could come into contact with it, but the only thing the others could not come into contact with was the box of ointment.
“Alright, you can go down first.” Bai Junzhuo waved his hand and let the cook out.
After the cook left, Bai Junzhuo took out the box of ointment from the shelf beside him. Seeing that, Xingzi asked, “Master, do you still think it’s the problem with the box of ointment?”
Bai Junzhuo did not say anything. He looked at the ointment for a long time. He suddenly took out Huo Zezi and lit the candle beside him. Then, he picked out some ointment with silver needles and set it on fire.
Before long, the silver needle was completely black.
“It really is this box of ointment!” Xing Zi said in shock.
“Xingzi, I remember that you were bitten by a mosquito on your face a few days ago, didn’t you?” Bai Junzhuo murmured, “The toxicity of this ointment was originally not that great, but together with Jiejie Gao, one was consumed externally and the other was used internally, causing you to …”
Xingzi gritted his teeth, his face filled with hatred, “It was Huang Ju and Concubine Lin who did this!”
Bai Junzhuo thought everything through in an instant, and his face was filled with shame. He said to Xingzi, “I’m sorry, Xingzi. I hurt you. This ointment and Jiegao were originally prepared for me, but you endured everything for me.”
Her eyes turned red. Xingzi hurriedly said, “Young miss, don’t be like this. This servant is still glad. Fortunately, this servant undertook this calamity for young miss. This servant feels that suffering this is not a bad thing at all!”
Her tone was sincere, and Bai Junzhuo felt even more uncomfortable.
“If Miss is really not worth it for this servant, then I will seek justice for this servant!”
Bai Junzhuo nodded forcefully, “Don’t worry, I will definitely not let those people live a good life!”
Her eyes glowed coldly. She would let Bai Juntao off again and again because she really didn’t harm her and the important people around her. And Lin Bailian, she swore that she would never let her off!
She would definitely return ten times as much!
She was originally a swift and swift person. She immediately left the pharmacy and ordered people to go into the rat room to call out Hongmei and Huang Ju. She asked the two of them to kneel down and said coldly, “Huang Ju, is it delicious every day?”
When Huang Ju heard this, her legs became a little weak, and she could not lift her head. She shook her head and nodded, saying, “Chef Niang cooked delicious food.”
“Is it delicious?” Bai Junzhuo laughed coldly and instructed, “Someone, bring over all the highs and lows in the kitchen.”
The servant obeyed his orders. Not long after, a large basket full of green and yellow grass was carried over.
“Eat, eat all of these.” Bai Junzhuo ordered.
“But these are all raw” Huang Ju protested in a low voice. Moreover, there was originally a small amount of toxicity in the process, but if she finished eating such a large basket, she might be poisoned to death.
“What? Don’t you want to eat?” Bai Junzhuo turned to Hongmei and said, “Hongmei, feed her.”
“Third young miss, third young miss” Huang Ju knelt in front of Bai Junzhuo and pulled her sleeve. “What did this servant do wrong? Third young miss wants to punish this servant like this?”
Bai Junzhuo’s eyes stared at her, “Although I already know what you did wrong, this young miss is very kind. If you say it yourself, I will spare your life.”
Huang Ju shook her head, “This servant really didn’t do anything. Third Miss, please spare this servant!”
Bai Junzhuo shook her off, “Hongmei, what are you still waiting for? If you don’t feed her, you two can eat together!”
“Third Miss!” The two of them shouted together, their eyes revealing a trace of fear.
“You’re unwilling, aren’t you?” Bai Junzhuo turned around and instructed the people behind him, “Put these high into their mouths!”
A few servants immediately went forward and pulled Huang Ju and Hong Mei. They opened their mouths and stuffed them inside. The high mouth that was filled with mud was bitter and fishy. The two felt their stomachs gushing up and they almost spat out.
Huang Ju’s tears flowed out. She struggled to shake off the restraints of the servants and hurriedly kowtowed, “Third young miss, this servant apologizes. This servant knows her guilt. Auntie Lin asked this servant to bring this thing to the kitchen. Originally, she wanted to make it for Third young miss to eat and react to the ointment Auntie Lin gave to Third young miss. But Third young miss has changed into a new cook. Third young miss, for the sake of this servant’s failure, please spare this servant!”
Although Bai Junzhuo was angry, she still had a clear brain. She knew that she was not enough to deal with Auntie Lin by herself, so she ordered someone to pull her up and said to her, “Come, follow me to Grandma’s yard and tell Grandma everything!”
It’s time to bite Concubine Lin in front of Madam Zou. Even if you can’t get rid of her in one go, you can still trip her up!
Bai Junzhuo ordered his men to escort Hongmei and Huang Ju to Madam Zou’s courtyard. When they first entered, they saw Nurse He walk out. The anger on Bai Junzhuo’s face dissipated a little and he asked in a gentle tone, “Where’s Grandma? I have something to look for her.”
Seeing that she had brought a large group of people with her, Nurse He realized that something big must have happened. He immediately replied, “Old Lady just finished his lunch and wants to drink the Tremella Lotus Seed Soup. Today, the soup was prepared a little late. This servant will go and urge him.”
Hearing what she said, a white light flashed in Bai Jun’s mind. She hurriedly asked, “Grandma drinks Tremella Lotus Seed Soup every day?”
Nanny He nodded, “The matriarch likes sweets. She has been drinking this for many years.”
“Nurse He, don’t go to the kitchen. I’ll go there myself,” Bai Junzhuo said to her. “You go in and tell Grandma to wait for me. I already know who poisoned her and where she was planted.”
