Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 141
Chapter 141 The Palm of the Devil’s Hand
Bai Junzhuo’s eyes couldn’t see anything clearly, and his mind gradually peeled off as he stood motionless like a wooden man. The man reached out to grab Bai Junzhuo’s waist and helped her out.
He walked over to the counter and placed a broken silver ingot. The shopkeeper poked his abacus and handed him a few copper coins.
That person took it and brought Bai Junzhuo out as if nothing had happened.
Bai Junzhuo was dazed all the way, as if she was sleeping. She walked for a very long time, until an extremely ear-piercing sound of friction came from beside her ear, and she suddenly woke up.
But before she could do anything, she felt the man beside her suddenly push her. She seemed to have fallen on a pile of firewood, and the sharp and cold firewood stabbed into her back.
She tried her best to open her eyes wide, but it was as if she had a cataract. She could only vaguely see a vague figure. The man did not say a word and went over to tie her limbs.
“Who exactly are you?” Bai Junzhuo struggled desperately, looking at the man’s blurry figure and asking, “What did you do to my eyes?”
The man sneered, “Aren’t you a miraculous doctor who easily solved the calamity of destroying the city? Don’t you know what I’ve done to you?”
“Was it the powder just now?” Bai Junzhuo gritted his teeth and said, “What exactly do you want to do?”
“Don’t worry, Miss Bai. I don’t want to take your life for the time being. I just can’t let you cure the plague in the city. Otherwise, all my efforts will be in vain.” The man tightened the rope and replied calmly.
“Are you the person who buried the corpse in the upper reaches of the Yong’an Canal and caused the entire plague?” Bai Jun looked in the direction of his face. Although his eyes were blank, they were still clear and sharp like knives.
“So what?” The man replied leisurely.
“Why are you doing this? What did the people of Chang’an do to you and want you to repay them like this?” Bai Junzhuo asked him coldly.
The man sneered, as if he was mocking Bai Junzhuo, “If you want to change the dynasty, what is this sacrifice?”
“You!” Bai Junzhuo’s eyebrows tightened, “You are not a good monarch because you have carelessly ignored human life. I advise you to stop at the right time!”
The man suddenly pinched Bai Junzhuo’s chin and sneered, “You’re just a woman. What do you know?”
He pinched it too tightly, and Bai Junzhuo was unable to speak. He could only stare at his silent eyes and see his silhouette.
The man let her go with a laugh and said, “Stay here properly. Without you, the Abyss Emperor will soon die of illness like an ordinary citizen, and Chang’an will soon become a dead city.”
His voice gradually weakened, and Bai Junzhuo heard another ear-piercing friction sound, as if he had closed the old wooden door.
The man tied her hands together, making it convenient for her to trigger the bracelet on her hand. Hearing the sound of his footsteps fading away, Bai Junzhuo felt for the bead on his hand, and the bracelet stabbed out a sharp blade.
Using this blade to cut the rope between his hands and feet, Bai Junzhuo stood up, supported the pit wall, groped his way to the door, and pulled the door open. Fortunately, the man wasn’t locked.
When she walked out from here, the scenery outside still seemed to be covered with a layer of white veil. She could only see an indistinct outline.
This place was like a forest. She slowly walked towards the tree closest to her and touched the tree to the next tree. After walking for a long time, there was still no sign of leaving the forest.
Normal people would inevitably get lost in the woods, not to mention that she was still a semi-blind person with no sense of direction. A trace of fear gradually surfaced in his heart. Even the slightest bit of wind blew through the forest, and the leaves would whistle with all sorts of strange sounds.
There might be wolves.
Bai Junzhuo did not dare to continue walking. He hid behind a tree and covered his ears, not daring to hear anything.
Every time he was in danger, Yin Xun would suddenly appear beside him. But now, why didn’t he come?
Just as she thought of him, she saw the silhouette of a man approaching from not far away. Bai Junzhuo supported the tree and stood up. With a sobbing voice, she asked, “Yin Xun, is that you?”
The man approached her and grabbed her arm. The strength in his hand was so great that it almost broke her arm.
Yin Xun wouldn’t touch her so rudely!
“You’re not him. Who are you?” She said in fear.
“I really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to run so far in such a short period of time. It seems like I have to break your limbs.”
So it was him! He’s back!
As he spoke, the man placed Bai Jun on his shoulder and brought her back to the cabin and threw her onto the firewood pile.
Bai Jun touched the other gem of the bracelet on his wrist. As long as he shot out the poisonous needle, this person would undoubtedly die.
However, she could not see where that person was at all. She could only see a blurry outline walking around, unable to aim at him at all. If he missed, he would definitely discover this hidden weapon if he didn’t die, and she really wouldn’t be able to escape again.
Therefore, he couldn’t enlarge the treasure so early.
The man searched the room for a long time and took out an item. He lifted Bai Junzhuo’s sleeve and put it on her skin. He asked her, “I know you can’t see it. Can you feel what it is?”
Bai Junzhuo replied, “It’s cold, hard, and sharp.”
The man nodded. “That’s right, it’s a knife. You’re too dishonest. Just because I don’t want to kill you for now doesn’t mean I won’t cut off your hands.”
Bai Junzhuo opened his eyes wide in fear and begged for mercy, “Don’t do this. I won’t run anymore. I will stay here obediently.”
“Do you think I’ll believe you?” The man fiercely pinched her chin and said.
“My eyes are like this. There’s no way I can escape from here.” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said, “If you don’t kill me for the time being, I must be useful to you, right? If you cut off my hands, you have to call a doctor to treat my wound, otherwise I will lose too much blood and die. But if you bring a doctor here and others find out that I am here, His Majesty will definitely find me.”
“What, so you’re not afraid anymore?” The man smiled and said, “I’ll cut off your arm, bring a doctor to heal your wound, and then kill that doctor.”
Bai Junzhuo didn’t know if what he said was true or if he was deliberately trying to scare her, but there was definitely nothing a person like him who took the lives of the entire city as a joke couldn’t do.
She thought for a moment, and then the scared look disappeared. She changed her tone and asked him, “What do I mean to you?”
The man was stunned. He never thought that she would suddenly ask such a question.
“Think about it carefully. Other than my medical skills, I don’t have any other advantages.” Bai Junzhuo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, “Either kill me or don’t touch me. Otherwise, you don’t have to cut off my hands and feet. I have a way to die myself.”
“You think I’m afraid of you?” The man said fiercely.
Bai Junzhuo guessed that the reason why he didn’t kill her was because he or the illness he cared about was incurable, and it was something that no other doctor could cure. “Of course you’re not. I’m just an ordinary doctor.”
The man’s expression darkened. After a long time, he let go of Bai Junzhuo with a cold harrumph. He then found a thick and long chain to lock her hands and feet. After confirming that it was impossible for her to escape, he left this place.
After he left, Bai Junzhuo pressed the blade on the bracelet again. After a long time, the chain was not damaged at all, so he could only withdraw the blade.
She leaned helplessly against the pile of firewood and muttered in a hoarse voice, “Yin Xun, come and save me.”

Inside the palace, Yin Xun lifted the white veil and wanted to leave. Zhao Chang hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Ninth Prince, absolutely not.”
Yin Xun glanced at him and said indifferently, “She hasn’t returned yet.”
“Miss Bai doesn’t have any enemies in Chang’an City, so nothing will happen. Ninth Prince, the overall situation is of utmost importance,” said Chief Zhao helplessly.
“This king has his own limits.” Yin Xun was too lazy to pay attention to him. He walked around him and was about to go outside. Suddenly, he heard someone report that Shen Qing had requested to see him. Yin Xun stopped and let Shen Qing in.
When Shen Qing entered the hall, he knelt down and cupped his hands. “This subordinate is guilty. I thought that Lu Kang was accompanying Miss Bai, so I didn’t follow her. It was only at noon that I heard that Master sent Lu Kang to the little princess’s side. This subordinate went to find Miss Bai, but his whereabouts are already unknown.”
Yin Xun clenched his fists and asked with a frown, “What does it mean to be unaccounted for?”
“This subordinate found out that Miss Bai had discussed the plague with the doctors in Taibai Tower and was taken away by an unfamiliar man. The shopkeeper in the shop did not know who the unfamiliar man was, nor did he know where Miss Bai was taken.”
Yin Xun could no longer listen and was about to leave the palace immediately. Zhao Chang hurriedly said, “Ninth Prince, wait a moment, don’t fall for this trap!”
Yin Xun turned to look at him, “What plan?”
“Ninth Prince, listen to this old servant. The person who took Miss Bai away doesn’t know his identity. What if he captured Miss Bai to lure the snake out of the cave and deal with you?” Zhao Chang continued, “If it wasn’t for you, it would definitely be against His Majesty. The purpose of capturing Miss Bai is to divert the tigers away from the mountain. Once you leave the palace, some people who are eyeing you in secret will start to act!”
Shen Qing also said, “Master, Eunuch Zhao’s words are reasonable. Miss Bai is smart and should not let anything happen to her.”
“That’s right, Ninth Prince. Miss Bai shouldn’t be able to take care of herself right now. If anything happens to you the moment you leave the palace, she will have to worry about you if she hears the news. Isn’t this messing with her mind? Ninth Prince, think twice!”
Yin Xun naturally understood what they meant. He also knew that it was wise to stay in the palace honestly at this moment. However, the worry in his heart could not be suppressed. He felt that she really needed him.
“Master, why don’t you let this subordinate search for Miss Bai first? If there is no news tomorrow, we can discuss it in the long run.” Shen Qing looked at his expression and probed.
Yin Xun nodded and Shen Qing immediately left the palace.
Shen Qing did not notice that a black-clothed man wearing a strange mask had heard all their conversations on the roof of the hall.
When the black-clothed man saw Shen Qing leave, he walked in another direction.
At this time, it was already late and there were few pedestrians on the road. The black-clothed man turned around an alley entrance and suddenly walked towards another person. The man was stunned when he saw the black-clothed man, and then he knelt down and said, “Xiaoguan greets Young Master!”
