Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 91
Chapter 091 Let’s Elope
“Since you suspect that everything was done by your second uncle, how do you plan to deal with him?”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a while and helplessly said, “There is no evidence at all. Everything is my guess.”
Yin Xun frowned slightly and said, “I am also responsible for this matter. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have burned that Profound Maiden to death.”
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “I tried to probe Xuan Nu before. Xuan Nu is wholeheartedly protecting that person. Even if you keep her, she won’t say anything.”
“If you torture her, she will definitely confess.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him and said, “It’s useless to torture a woman if she really wants to protect her. Besides, what right do you have to torture her?”
Yin Xun smiled and shook his head, “Yes, I do not have the right to abuse lynchings.”
“That’s enough,” Bai Junzhuo muttered softly. “What should I do to make Second Uncle not confess?”
Yin Xun raised his hand and patted her head, “It’s useless just to think. Since there’s no evidence, let’s go find it now.”
“Now?” Bai Junzhuo asked him uncertainly, “It will be dawn in less than two hours. Are you sure now?”
Yin Xun nodded, “The government may not be willing to interfere with what happened in the Bai Manor, but if he really is the person behind the scenes who spread the Cold Food Powder, then the government will not let him off lightly.”
Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, “I know that drug trafficking should kill a thousand knives, so I want to destroy my family righteously. But if it was really him, would it be the nine races?”
Speaking of which, in ancient times, all sorts of great crimes liked to be committed by the nine races. If this matter were to be investigated and she was implicated in it, wouldn’t that mean that she would be harmed to death?
Seeing her worried expression, Yin Xun wanted to scare her. He nodded seriously and said, “Probably.”
“Ah?” Bai Junzhuo frowned. “Then what should we do? Only that person in the Bai Clan is guilty. If I find evidence, wouldn’t I harm the entire Bai Clan?”
“But if you don’t find evidence and let your second uncle continue harming Luoyang with the prescription of the Cold Food Powder, you will harm the entire Luoyang and even spread to other places outside of Luoyang.” Yin Xun asked indifferently, “Are you going to sacrifice the Bai Clan to save the lives of the world, or are you going to ignore the safety of your family?”
Bai Junzhuo lowered his eyes and pondered, feeling extremely conflicted in his heart. She wore the ultimate wish of the ancient times, but she was just a quiet rich woman. Why would she put such a heavy burden on her shoulders? She’s just a weak woman, okay?
Seeing that she hadn’t spoken for a long time, Yin Xun said, “How about this? Continue to look for evidence. When you find evidence, I’ll take you away. If you change your name, no one will know that you’re from the Bai Clan.”
Bai Junzhuo raised his head and stared blankly at him, “Take me far away?”
Yin Xun reached out to touch her cheek and nodded solemnly, “Well, follow me and I guarantee your safety for the rest of your life.”
The two of them looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.
Bai Junzhuo’s eyes seemed to be filled with water. A gentle breeze blew and the unknown wildflowers emitted a faint fragrance. Now was the right time to do something serious.
Yin Xun lowered his head slightly. His handsome face approached Bai Junzhuo once again, but before she could touch her soft lips, she suddenly said, “What about Grandma, Xingzi, Lizi, and the staff of the Medicine Hall? Do you also take them away with you?”
Yin Xun paused and raised his eyebrows to look at the girl. What exactly was inside her head?
Before Bai Junzhuo could reply, he continued, “The ancient legal system is really not perfect. It’s annoying that a person who does something bad wants to kill a family.”
Yin Xun helplessly pinched her cheek and said, “What ancient times? What legal system? Why are you talking nonsense again?”
Bai Junzhuo glared at him and patted his hand away, “Don’t pinch me, it hurts.”
Yin Xun put down his hand and said, “Do you still need to look for clues? If you continue to hesitate, it will be dawn. Your second uncle doesn’t know what will happen to you again.”
“Yes!” Bai Junzhuo replied resolutely, but he immediately hesitated, “It’s the nine races …”
Yin Xun sighed and patted her head again, as if comforting a puppy, “Don’t you remember why you sold yourself to me back then?”
“Of course I remember. Our medicine was intercepted, and there is a danger of committing the crime of bullying the Sovereign. I cannot go beg you!” Speaking of this matter, Bai Junzhuo said in an unfriendly tone, “Then, I was exploited and oppressed by you again and again!”
“You have to feel your own conscience when you speak. How many times have I saved you? Did I really make things difficult for you?” Yin Xun thought it was funny and argued with her.
Bai Junzhuo gritted his teeth, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also true. Although this person was sometimes quite hateful, in fact, he was the one who helped him more.
“Of course, the reason I’m mentioning this is not to let you know how much you owe me, but to let you know that I was able to save the entire Bai Clan from the fire and water at that time, and I am also able to protect the entire Bai Clan from the implication.”
“Really?” Bai Junzhuo’s eyes immediately lit up.
“What do you think?” Yin Xun asked indifferently.
“That’s great!” Finally, his worries disappeared. Bai Junzhuo was excited and directly rushed over to give him a big hug.
Yin Xun was slightly stunned. He was at a loss for what to do, but he disappeared in an instant. He placed his hand on Bai Junzhuo’s waist and hugged her tightly.
After a long time, Bai Junzhuo felt that this action was too intimate. It might be difficult for an ancient man to accept. He let go of his hand and scratched his head. “Sorry, I’m excited.”
Yin Xun smiled faintly and said, “It doesn’t matter. However, in the future, you must not throw yourself into the arms of other men and take the initiative to seduce them, because not every man is as righteous as me.”
Hearing the keywords “seduce” and so on, Bai Jun’s face flushed red. He hurriedly explained, “No, no, this hug is just an expression of excitement and gratitude. There is no other meaning!”
“There’s no need to explain,” Yin Xun said indifferently. “I won’t tell anyone about your frivolous behavior. Don’t worry.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him angrily and waved his claws, “If I don’t give you some color today, I’ll give you the surname Yin!”
Yin Xun took her hand very easily. “Are you going to look for clues or not?”
It was estimated that it was getting late. Tonight, he had no time to sleep. If he continued to quarrel with Yin Xun, he wouldn’t even have time to investigate the case.
Bai Junzhuo let go with a cold snort and turned around to say, “This girl is too lazy to argue with someone like you.”
Yin Xun smiled and followed behind her. He asked softly, “Then do you think you’re talking to me, surnamed Yin?”
Bai Junzhuo turned around and gave him a look.
The two of them sneaked into Bai Gongyuan’s courtyard. Most of the servants had already fallen asleep. There were only a few vigil guards left in the courtyard. They paced back and forth, dozing off. The room opposite the courtyard door was still lit up, and there was no one guarding the surroundings.
Bai Junzhuo stood at the entrance of the courtyard and peeked inside. He pointed to the room with the lights on and said, “That is Second Uncle’s bedroom. The lights are still on. Second Uncle must not be asleep.”
Yin Xun nodded and whispered, “Shall we go take a look?”
“These servants are still guarding!” Bai Junzhuo reminded.
Yin Xun raised his hand and threw out a few small stones. With a few whistling sounds of the wind, the vigil fell to the ground.
Bai Junzhuo turned around and gave him a thumbs up.
The two sneakily walked to the door of Bai Gongyuan’s bedroom. This door was not the kind of door in the costume drama that was hollowed out and pasted with paper. When they opened it, they could see the door inside. Instead, the entire door was covered in thick wood and was airtight. They could only lie on the door and listen carefully to what was going on inside.
As soon as his ear touched the door, he heard a “dong” sound. It was as if something had hit the door. Then, he heard Bai Gongyuan’s angry voice, “You can’t even be a ghost, but Bai Junzhuo, that little bitch, came back alive!”
Sure enough! The female ghost in the cemetery just now was one of his people, but it was really strange. If he wanted to kill her, he could just kill her directly. Why did he still pretend to be a ghost to scare her?
No one answered him. Bai Gongyuan said, “Also, tell me clearly, did you kill Bai Juntao?”
Still, he didn’t hear another person’s voice. After a while, he heard a “pa” sound, as if it was a slap in the face. Then, Bai Gongyuan said, “It’s not you? That girl Bai Junzhuo doesn’t have the guts to kill!”
Bai Junzhuo frowned. Who was Bai Gongyuan talking to? Who was the one who killed Bai Juntao?
Just as he was thinking, Yin Xun suddenly hugged her and jumped onto the roof. He lifted the roof tile and signaled Bai Junzhuo to look down.
Bai Junzhuo bent down and saw a woman in white curled up by the door in the room. She lowered her head and could not see her face. Bai Gongyuan stood in front of her, seemingly very angry.
“Who is this woman?” Yin Xun asked softly.
Bai Junzhuo shook his head, “Looking at her figure, I’m a little familiar, but I can’t see her face. I don’t know who she is.”
The woman in white shook her head continuously. Bai Gongyuan stepped forward to pull her up and said coldly, “Did you also kill Lin Bailian?”
The woman shook her head desperately. Bai Gongyuan slapped her again and knocked her to the ground. “Even if you didn’t personally kill her, you killed Bai Juntao and led to Lin Bailian’s death!”
The woman finally spoke with a hoarse voice, “Why?”
Bai Gongyuan frowned, “What? Why?”
“Why did you do this to me? Back then, when you saved me, you clearly said that you would give me everything you wanted, but why did you do this to me?” The woman hugged his leg and cried, “Second Master, what did I do wrong?”
Bai Gongyuan kicked her away and said coldly, “Do you still remember that I saved you back then? You even know that you have a life that doesn’t need to worry about food and clothing because of me. You shouldn’t have killed Lin Bailian without obeying my orders!”
The woman suddenly burst into laughter and said to him, “Is it still because of that stupid woman Lin Bailian? I’ve done so much for you all these years, but I can’t compare to her! Well, since you blame me for killing her, I’ll just crash and die here to pay for your beloved Lin Bailian’s life!”
With that, the woman suddenly stood up and crashed into the wall.
Bai Gongyuan stretched out his hand to block her and threw her to the ground. He coldly said, “I gave you your life. Want to die? It’s not that easy!”
The woman lay on the ground, and Bai Junzhuo finally saw her face clearly. She was so shocked that she hurriedly raised her head.
Yin Xun asked curiously, “Do you see who it is?”
Bai Junzhuo’s face was pale as he nodded.
“Who is it?”
