Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Always Hunted Down
The man asked curiously, “Bai Junzhuo is just a woman. What are you afraid of?”

“Why do you think Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu?” Yin Mu asked the man in front of him.

Before the man could speak, Yin Mu continued, “I have very little courage. If I don’t understand something, I will be especially afraid of it. That’s how Bai Junzhuo is. She knows too many things that I don’t know. In my opinion, she doesn’t seem to be a person, but she knows too many things that pose too great a threat. Therefore, I must kill her.”

“Is that so?” The man didn’t seem to understand, but he didn’t ask any further. He only nodded and said, “I will accept this deal. I will kill Bai Junzhuo for you, and you will also kill the Jinnan Wang couple for me.”

“Naturally,” Yin Mu nodded.

The man turned around to leave. Without stopping, Yin Mu intended to walk in the opposite direction.

The man paused and turned to ask him, “Didn’t you come here to see the Empress Dowager?”

Yin Mu chuckled and said, “You’ve provoked her today. If I go in and see her, what if she can’t take it anymore? I still want to protect the name of this filial son.”

With that, he left. The man was stunned for a moment before he sighed and left.

Inside the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, Bai Junzhuo observed the movements outside without stopping, attempting to stun them when the guards were weakest, and then flee.

Until Shen Wujie pushed open the door and walked in. He held the food and said to her, “Xiao Bai, eat something.”

Bai Junzhuo looked at the delicious food. Although she had no appetite, she knew that if she wanted to escape safely, she had to have enough stamina. He nodded his head, brought the food over and sat down at the table to eat it in large mouthfuls.

Seeing that she had finally eaten, Shen Wujie was very happy. He sat opposite her and said to her with his chin propped up, “I went to see Zisu and told him that you and Baoyu are safe.”

Bai Junzhuo didn’t even look at him as he chewed on the beef and said, “Thank you so much.”

Shen Wujie noticed the dissatisfaction in her tone and sighed. In the end, he didn’t say anything.

Soon after, he finished his meal. Bai Junzhuo pushed the plate and said to Shen Wujie, “I’m covered in sweat. I want to take a bath. Can you find a maid for me?”

Shen Wujie hurriedly nodded his head. He had originally agreed to Bai Junzhuo’s request, but now he couldn’t help but put her under house arrest. He felt guilty in his heart and wanted to do more for her.

“I don’t like to have too many people in the shower. Just one will do.” Bai Junzhuo added.

Shen Wujie nodded and walked out. Not long after, a maidservant came in with hot water and adjusted the temperature of the water two or three times. She said to Bai Junzhuo, “Madam, the water is ready. Please take a bath.”

Bai Junzhuo nodded and went over to button the door. He took off his clothes and went into the bathtub. The maid came over to help her wash it. The maidservant washed very seriously, not noticing that Bai Junzhuo had pulled out the hairpin from his head and held it in his hand.

Bai Junzhuo looked at her and suddenly said, “This bead on your head is not bad. I like it very much.”

The maidservant did not know why Bai Junzhuo suddenly said such words. She raised her head and looked at Bai Junzhuo puzzledly before reaching out to pull out her own pearl flower.

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly pulled her hand and said, “I don’t want your pearls. Come closer and show me.”

The maidservant put her head in front of Bai Junzhuo.

Bai Jun raised his hairpin and gently stabbed into the acupuncture point in the back of the maid’s head. The maid fainted at the slightest bit.

Bai Junzhuo hurriedly supported her, preventing her from falling to the ground. He walked out of the bucket, took off the maid’s clothes, and gently helped her into the bucket.

Bai Junzhuo put the maidservant’s clothes on his body and was about to push the door open. He couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. He didn’t know if he would be recognized by the guards at the entrance.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the guard at the door say, “You can’t go in. The Ninth Princess is taking a bath. The Young Master has instructed no one to disturb the Ninth Princess!”

Another person said, “Get out of the way! Master sent us here!”

As soon as he finished speaking, two people kicked open the door and walked in. They looked at Bai Junzhuo, who was standing beside them, and then looked at the maidservant with her head lowered in the wooden bucket. Bai Junzhuo was stunned, and then immediately shouted, “What do you want to do? Hurry up and get out! Madam is taking a bath!”

Without saying a word, the man walked forward and stabbed the man in the barrel’s chest. The maidservant’s eyes suddenly widened, and before she could even make a sound, her body slipped down.

In an instant, fresh blood stained the bath water with the petals of the Chinese plum blossom.

Bai Junzhuo immediately understood that these people should have come to kill her on the orders of their master, but they mistook this maidservant for her.

She immediately retreated to the side, covering her face and screaming loudly.

That person was also worried that the person in the wooden barrel would not die completely, so he stabbed her twice with his knife to make sure that she had no chance of survival before he felt relieved. He turned around and looked at the panicked Bai Junzhuo. He exchanged glances with the people beside him and nodded, “Shut up together.”

As he spoke, he wanted to kill Bai Junzhuo. Bai Junzhuo saw them coming through his fingers and quickly dodged. However, no matter how weak she was, she could not escape the pursuit of the two men. Seeing that the sword was about to touch her body, she heard a “ping” sound. The saber in that person’s hand was bounced off. Shen Wujie walked in and coldly asked them, “What are you doing?”

The two of them quickly knelt down and bowed, “Young Master!”

He had just entered when he smelled a stench of blood, and when he saw the bright red water in the wooden bucket over there, he thought that Bai Junzhuo had been harmed. He hurriedly ran to the front of the wooden bucket and reached out to salvage the corpse inside.

Bai Junzhuo said from behind, “Young Master, they killed Madam!”

When Shen Wujie heard Bai Junzhuo’s voice, he immediately turned around and saw where she was standing. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and almost understood this matter. He asked the two of them in a deep voice, “Who told you to kill her?”

“Young Master, this is Master’s order.”

“Get lost!” Shen Wujie kicked the man who was speaking.

The two of them fled in a hurry.

After waiting for the others to leave, Shen Wujie walked to Bai Junzhuo’s side. Seeing that she was wearing the clothes of a maidservant, she guessed that she was going to run away. Fortunately, she changed into the maidservant’s clothes in time and escaped.

Shen Wujie said, “Are you alright?”

Bai Junzhuo shook his head and looked at the wooden bucket with a heart-wrenching look. A trace of self-blame flashed across his eyes.

“I don’t have time to blame myself for this girl now. She saved your life. I will bury her properly and compensate her family.” Shen Wujie said to her, “That person wants to kill you. I will take you out now!”

Bai Jun hesitated and looked at Shen Wujie worriedly.

“What’s the matter?” Shen Wujie asked, “Is there anything else?”

Bai Junzhuo said, “If I really died, would you let go of those two people just now?”

Shen Wujie said without hesitation, “Of course not. I will tear them to pieces!”

Bai Junzhuo sighed and said, “Your father will know that if I die, you will treat them like this. However, you did not. Instead, you let them go. He will also know that I am not dead.”

Shen Wujie held her hand and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. If he wants to kill you, he has to kill me.”

“Wuji” Bai Junzhuo still hesitated.

“Stop spouting nonsense. Let’s go now.” Shen Wujie led Bai Junzhuo out.

The two of them went back to answer their orders just now. Sure enough, when their master saw them return alive, he immediately knew that Bai Junzhuo was not dead. He slapped the two of them one by one and angrily said, “Trash! That woman is not dead at all!”

The two of them also wanted to explain that they had personally killed him and stabbed him several times. However, when they saw their master’s mask, their eyes were exceptionally fierce and they didn’t dare to say anything else.

“Get out of here and kill her! Either bring her head or bring your own head to see me before midnight tonight!”

“Yes!” The two of them hurriedly walked out.

Not long after, there were killers with knives everywhere in Ninth King’s Mansion. Bai Junzhuo and Shen Wujie fled in hiding. Speaking of which, it was really ridiculous. This was clearly her own home. Now, not only was her home occupied by others, she was also being chased after by others.

Fortunately, she was more familiar with the layout of the house than these people. She led Shen Wujie into a secluded path and hid in a rockery. She took a deep breath to rest.

While protecting her, Shen Wujie listened to the commotion outside and whispered to her, “That man clearly promised me that he wouldn’t touch everyone in Ninth King’s Mansion. I don’t know why he suddenly went back on his word, so I’m a little worried …”

“Are you worried that he will kill Zisu as well?” Bai Junzhuo raised his head and asked worriedly.

Shen Wujie shook his head. “Zisu is not locked up with the rest of Ninth King’s Mansion. No one would have thought that he would be absolutely safe where he is. I was worried that he would kill the rest of your Ninth King’s Mansion. Those people are also very important to you, right?”

Bai Junzhuo nodded, “I don’t want any of them to die.”

Shen Wujie looked down at her and said, “Since it’s what you want, I will help you no matter what.”

Bai Jun bit his lower lip. Previously, he had a grudge against Shen Wujie, but now, he had completely disappeared.

He had never done anything wrong. He was helpless against everything he had done. He had been doing his best to protect her and Yin Xun.

Bai Jun said in a hoarse voice, “Wuji, thank you.”

“Don’t thank me now. Let’s talk about escaping from here.” As Shen Wujie spoke, he couldn’t help but carry her on his back.

“Wuji, put me down. I’m more familiar with the structure of Ninth King’s Mansion than you are. Follow me.” Bai Junzhuo struggled behind him.

Shen Wujie smiled faintly and turned to her. “You didn’t know where the Ninth Prince’s Mansion was when I ran around. I know where the Ninth Prince’s Mansion has a secret passage. Trust me, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Bai Junzhuo was stunned. That was right. Shen Wujie had been friends with Yin Xun since he was young, so he naturally knew the structure of this place.

Shen Wujie bypassed the people chasing after Bai Junzhuo and walked from the small path to Yin Xun’s study.

Fortunately, he hadn’t completely trusted that man before. He had purposely moved the guards away so that one day, if something happened, he could burn Bai Jun out.

The two of them flashed into the study. Shen Wujie put Bai Junzhuo down and moved the bookshelf by the window. A hidden door suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Let’s go.” He said to Bai Junzhuo.
