Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 2

by North Night (夜北)

  “Uncle, it’s time the Jun Family take a strong stand.” Jun Wu Xie left with these solemn words, and led the Rui Lin Army right into the centre of the Imperial City.

  The army of one hundred thousand filled up the streets and alleys, the torches they carried lit the city bright as day.

  Armoured horses galloped, kicking up a dust storm!

  This night, the whole city was awoken, and they looked out, startled to see great numbers of horses galloping past them.

  It had been many years, since they last saw the glory of the Rui Lin Army, who would have thought, they would bear witness to their valiant strength once again, within the Imperial City of Qi!?

  Within the Imperial City, the palaces and residences of high ranking officials were surrounded by the Rui Lin Army.

  The usually dignified officials hid within, terrified by the stoic and unyielding Rui Lin Army at their doors.

  Long Qi broke into the Wu Palace with his men, pulled the Wu Wang from the warm embrace of his concubine, and threw him to the floor.

  Squealing in fright, Long Qi unceremoniously dragged him away without a word!

  An unparalleled beauty stood at the forefront of an army stopped right at the gates of the Imperial Palace.

  The Emperor who was startled by the Cloud Soaring SIgnal, came down to the Imperial Palace where a large crowd congregated. He widened his eyes, as he saw Jun Wu Xie, standing in front of the Rui Lin Army.

  The once widely criticised wilful and unreasonable Young Miss of Lin Palace, had now led the huge Rui Lin Army and blocked the gates of the Imperial Palace, the rows upon rows of torches, snaking throughout the city, looked like fire dragons, entrenched within!

  Mo Qian Yuan stood among the crowd, looking down at Jun Wu Xie, from high upon the palace walls, eyes full of shock and surprise.

  Chapter 113: “Soaring Cloud Signal (4)”

  The entire Rui Lin Army was mobilised!

  Wasn’t the wide span of flickering torch throughout the city a show of the Rui Lin Army’s complete control of the Imperial City?

  “Jun Wu Xie! What is the meaning of this!?” Mo Xuan Fei shouted, standing behind the Emperor, unable to believe the scene before him.

  Jun Wu Xie raised her head, under the flickering torchlight, her beauty was breathtaking, except her eyes, which emanated merciless murder.

  “The Lin Palace, has under the orders of His Majesty, pursued the culprits who attacked the Second Prince.” Jun Wu Xie replied coldly.

  “What nonsense are you spouting!” Mo Xuan Fei stared at Jun Wu Xie with an incredulous expression.

  The attack on the Second Prince happened some time ago. The matter was handed to Jun Xian to investigate, but to no avail, and everyone had almost forgotten about it.

  “The Lin Palace has carried out your orders and executed the culprits.” Jun Wu Xie ignored the outburst from Mo Xuan Fei, her flaming eyes locked onto the lone figure in the dragon robe.

  With that statement, the Rui Lin Army soldiers piled hundred of mangled corpses before the gates, their blood still flowing, staining the ground with scarlet pools.

  The acrid stench from the pile of bodies wafted with the breeze, filled the air. The whole scene caused the air to feel heavy.

  Upon seeing the bodies’ dark clothes, the Emperor and Mo Xuan Fei were taken aback.

  “These were the assassins that attacked the Second Prince. My grandfather gave orders to apprehend them, and they attempted to annihilate the Lin Palace. In retaliation. I had them all executed.” Jun Wu Xie explained as she coldly looked up where the Emperor and Mo Xuan Fei stood. Other than Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian, there were no other witnesses. Only they knew that it was not a group of assassins as claimed, but a single person. Jun Wu Xie knew that it was just a lone Jun Wu Yao.

  Mo Xuan Fei gave false leads to Jun Xian intentionally, and now, she turned the table and used his own ruse against him!

  Mo Xuan Fei was left flabbergasted, he never would have thought, a careless joke on Jun Xian has been turned back upon himself! Those bodies did not attack him, they were assassins he sent to infiltrate the Lin Palace!

  Three hundred assassins, all dead!?

  Weren’t the Lin Palace guards lured away? A mere fifteen guards killed three hundred assassins?

  The Emperor saw the look on Mo Xuan Fei and it was clear what happened. He plastered an amicable smile and said: “You’ve done well. Since my orders have been fulfilled, I will reward Lin Palace personally.” With a hundred thousand Rui Lin Army soldiers in the city, even the Emperor didn’t dare pick a fight with Jun Wu Xie.

  The Rui Lin Army might be a sharp blade of Qi, but the blade could be reversed and pressed against its own neck, and that blade is nothing to laugh at.

  Jun Xian being a loyal vassal, would not bring the whole Rui Lin Army into the Imperial City, not even to apprehend assassins.

  On top of the palace walls, the Yu Lin Army stood shaking as they watched Jun Wu Xie, the first person to bring the Rui Lin Army within the Imperial City, the criticised Young Miss from Lin Palace!

  Not even Jun Xian or Jun Qing had dared to do it, didn’t she care to keep her head?

  They can see the green veins popping on the Emperor’s tightly clenched hands!

  Jun Wu Xie must be fearless, this act of hers will draw undue suspicion to her loyalty! Such boldness! Such rashness! What was she thinking?

  The Emperor’s amicable words were obviously in fear of revolt by the Rui Lin Army, once the soldiers retreat, the wrath of the Son of Heaven shall descend upon the Lin Palace!

  Volume 2

  Chapter 114: “Soaring Cloud Signal (5)”

  Alas, the Emperor was helpless at the moment, and Jun Wu Xie continued in total disregard of him as she pressed on: “These assassins are very crafty, many have fled and have hidden themselves within the Imperial City. I have ordered the Rui Lin Army to flush them out, please be at ease!”

  “Lin Palace will never allow villains like them to hurt your people.” Jun Wu Xie shot up a wintry glance, the eyes colder than ice over a frozen lake.

  Jun Wu Xie was usually quiet, but when she spoke, she rendered people irrefutably speechless.

  Scheming against the Jun Family? She would like to see, who shall triumph?

  They started the fire, and she blew it back, an inferno!

  The Emperor bit down on his lip, unable to fault Jun Wu Xie. Looking at the corpses strewn in front of the gates, they number not far from the three hundred assassins Mo Xuan Fei sent to annihilate the Lin Palace. And seeing the mutilation and degree of wounds on them, none escaped the ferocious retaliation and walked out alive.

  What did she have up her sleeve, what was her underlying motive?

  This obviously was not merely about the capture of assassins, but to exert pressure on him!

  The army of a hundred thousand, portrayed in brilliance with the glittering of torches weaving through the streets and alleys, sounded alarms within the Imperial Family.

  The Emperor could not counter the situation at hand, and have the army retreat.

  With the grand entrance the Rui Lin Army made, they woke the whole city and the people gathered, curious, around the Imperial Palace where they heard every word exchanged at the gates.

  The scene that played out in front of the people seemed to be that the loyal Lin Palace had carried out their duty and apprehended the criminals.

  Little did the large crowd know, they had been roped in unwittingly by Jun Wu Xie, to pressure the Emperor to do her bidding!

  You want to win the hearts of the people? I’ll deliver it right up to you! Under your orders, the villains have been vanquished, how will you fault me on that?

  Jun Wu Xie had shrewdly used the orders previously issued carelessly to Jun Xian by the Emperor back against him, this time a slap across the face of the Son of Heaven, the Emperor himself.

  The Emperor could only swallow the insult. He had no excuse to make the army retreat.

/>   But faced with the army within the Imperial City, the claws of fear gripped his heart tightly.

  The people might not see the underlying battle of wits at play, but it was all too clear to the Emperor and Mo Qian Yuan.

  The Imperial Family’s malicious intent to annihilate the Lin Place was now plainly known to the Jun Family. Jun Wu Xie’s actions tonight, was a big show of might, and a stern warning to the plotters.

  “How did the plan for Jun Xian go?” The Emperor pulled Mo Xuan Fei to him and whispered, seeing the tide of events going against him.

  Mo Xuan Fei replied in a low voice: “I’ve been told, the mission was a success, and Jun Xian is being escorted to the dungeons in secret.”

  There were two aspects to the plan to take out the Lin Palace. The first was to annihilate the Lin Palace, and the second aspect was to lure Jun Xian out of the city and ambush him.

  The plan for the Lin Palace had spectacularly failed, but at least Jun Xian’s capture was a success.

  “Make sure Jun Xian is watched closely, Jun Wu Xie’s actions are obviously an attempt to locate Jun Xian. Under no circumstances must you allow the Rui Lin Army to find Jun Xian.” The Emperor hissed as his eyes narrowed in malice, intending to hold onto this glimmer of hope tightly. As long as Jun Xian was not found, no one can prove that the culprits behind tonight’s attack on the Jun Family, was in fact the Imperial Family!

  Volume 2

  Chapter 115: “Wind of Change (1)”

  Just kill Jun Xian and Lin Palace prowess will drop by half.

  No matter how much ability Jun Wu Xie has, she was still only a kid and Jun Qing was a crippled waste, the most Lin Palace could hang on was for a little while more.

  Once they started this, it was a road of no return.

  The Emperor knows the importance of this matter and even if Jun Wu Xie had suspected that tonight’s attack on Lin Palace was related to them, she had no witnesses. If she dared to revolt, he had the excuse to put them down and charge them with treason. Henceforth sealing the entire Rui Lin Army.

  The reason why the Emperor was wary of the Rui Lin Army was not only because of its military power but also because of its high reputation amongst the people of Qi. The Rui Lin Army were highly regarded in their hearts and even if the Emperor had secretly harboured thoughts on disbanding them, he had to take into account the voices of the people of Qi.

  If he had followed thru his intentions, he would be buried with petitions and cursed by many. There will be chaos that he did not have a solution to.

  Their plans could never keep up with the changes, as the Emperor hushly whispered some orders to Mo Xuan Fei, another regiment of Rui Lin Army arrived.

  This regiment was led by Long Qi in the forefront as he dragged in a huge sack. As he was approaching Jun Wu Xie, people could see that there was a constant struggle from within as well as screams as if killing a pig.

  Hmmm. Somehow the screams sounded a little familiar to the Emperor.

  “Reporting to Young Miss, we have brought the person here.” Long Qi flung the sack to one side as he reported the completion of his task.

  The big black beast which Jun Wu Xie was riding went towards the sack and used its sharp claws to firmly grasp the side and tore through it as a stout round figure tumbled out.

  The person rolled onto the bloodied muddy floor as his luxurious robes were stained. He lay sprawled onto the cold ground momentarily trying to grasp the situation, before he could even make an attempt to escape, he was pushed onto the ground by the black beast’s paw. His obese face was trampled into the mud as the screams continued and resounded into the sky.

  Everyone on the wall instantly recognised that person who just rolled out!

  “Jun Wu Xie! What do you think you are doing! Why did you catch Wu Wang for?!” The Emperor’s face was black to the extreme, that screaming round figure that was trampled on was his Brother, Wu Wang!

  When Jun Wu Xie saw the Emperor’s hideous expression, her thin lips curled upwards into a hint of smile.

  Under the moonlight, that smile exuded a chillness that made all who saw it feel as if they were on a snowy plain and the coldness was making their teeth chatter.

  Jun Wu Xie had rarely smiled, be it this world or previous world. One can say that her smile was a treasure!

  However each time she smiled, it was as if opening pandora’s box.

  It was even mentioned before that her smile was alluring and lethal.

  While people were still obsessed with that intoxicating smile, Jun Wu Xie casually replied: “Wu Wang colluded with the attackers and has bad intentions towards Second Prince. Immediate Execution!”

  That cold voice made the Emperor wake from his previous stupor and stared wide eyed at Jun Wu Xie and bellowed: “Jun Wu Xie! You better not mess….”

  “Aaah!” Shrill screams interrupted the Emperor. Wu Wang who was still pressed down in the mud by the paw was swiftly attacked by the black beast.

  Beneath the black beast now rolled out a dirty fat head that had eyes full of fear as it stared at the Palace walls.

  Grandfather, those that dare to bully you, Wu Xie will help you get rid of them!

  Volume 2

  Chapter 116: “Wind of Change (2)”

  Jun Wu Xie’s smile widened.

  The public execution of Wu Wang, was brutal and bestial, the people stared at Jun Wu Xie as if looking at the devil incarnate.

  The Emperor was seething in rage, although they were never close, Wu Wang was nevertheless a member of the Imperial Family, and the Emperor’s blood related brother. Executing him in the Emperor’s presence without his consent was disrespecting the Crown!

  His royal decree was interrupted and ignored, and Jun Wu Xie killed the duke before he could finish the sentence!

  “Jun Wu Xie! You dare…..” The Emperor trembled in contained rage.

  Jun Wu Xie continued nonplussed: “The investigation on Wu Wang has been resolved. The Rui Lin Army will be bringing in the other accomplices involved in the attack on the Second Prince shortly.”

  “What do you plan to do?” The Emperor feared what Jun Wu Xie has in plan next.

  She must have lost her mind!

  Jun Wu Xie’s smile grew more radiant,and the cold seemed to have diffused out of her.

  “I will carry out His Majesty’s orders to the end.”

  The Emperor’s face twitched.

  When did she receive orders to execute Wu Wang?

  “Long Qi!” Jun Wu Xie summoned.

  “Here!”

  “Bring to me Official Wang, Official Shangguan, Official Xu…..” Jun Wu Xie continued on a long list of over ten court officials, the crowd murmured in reaction to every name Jun Wu Xie announced to ‘invite’ over.

  Tonight, not one will be spared!

  “That is enough! Jun Wu Xie! All those people are high ranking court officials, and you have executed Duke Wu. The matter should have ended!” The Emperor realised now the reason for killing Wu Wang in front of him. It was a show of force and for vengeance. In retaliation for what happened at the Lin Palace tonight!

  The order to investigate into the attackers on the Second Prince was to make things difficult for Jun Xian by giving him false leads, never would the Emperor have thought, the same order was being used to make things so difficult for himself.

  Under the pretext of carrying out the orders of the Emperor dutifully in full view of the crowd gathered, the Emperor can find no good reason to admonish Jun Wu Xie.

  But, if she is allowed free rein, the Imperial City will be a sea of red come sunrise.

  “Your Majesty.” Jun Wu Xie looked up at the Emperor. “These traitors, harbour sinister intentions against the prince, the punishment meted fits such horrendous crimes. Moreover, the Lin Palace was given full authority to punish the culprits in any manner seen fit.” This was mentioned in the conversation between Jun Xian and Jun Qing, while Jun Wu Xie listened.

  The Jun father and son’s casual conversation was re
membered word for word by Jun Wu Xie.

  The Emperor’s anger rushed to his head and he felt faint as he swayed on his feet.

  It dawned on him now! It was now clear!

  The reason for the Rui Lin Army’s grand entrance was to alarm and gather the people of the whole city, who will be curious of the ruckus in the dead of the night. Jun Wu Xie knew the Emperor’s concern for his reputation and good standing in the eyes of the people, and with the citizens gathered, the Emperor will be hard pressed to deal with Jun Wu Xie without offending the crowd that gathered! With the authority given the the Lin Palace to mete out punishments as befitted the crime, Jun Wu Xie now used that power, under His Majesty’s banner, to eradicate the threats to the Lin Palace, punishing them as she wished.

  Unless the Emperor has proof to refute that the officials are guilty, he will have to put up with seeing those officials beheaded one after another!

  What proof can he possibly produce to refute? The corpses lying down there were sent to Lin Palace to wipe them out as a fact, that was irrefutable. He cannot publicly renege on his words that the prince was attacked by a lone attacker now, can he? Mo Xuan Fei declared he was attacked by a group of attackers for two reasons. The first was to save himself from humiliation, and the second reason was just to stump Jun Xian in his investigations.

  No way can the truth that they sent these assassins to kill off the Jun Family be made known to the citizens gathered.

  Volume 2

  Chapter 117: “Winds of Change (3)”

  That truth must never be made known. What would the people think?

  In the eyes of the people of Qi, the Lin Palace and the Rui Lin Army enjoyed a high stature, worshipped on a pedestal. For this very same reason, the Emperor wanted to eradicate the Jun Family. If his intentions were known to the people, he would suffer scorn and disdain.
