Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 26
Chapter 026 War Drum Beating
“I can cure you,” Bai Jun shuddered and said clearly.
The skin on his eyelids covered half of his eyes. Bai Junzhuo saw the hope flashing in his eyes. However, in a flash, he lowered his head and said, “Impossible …”
When Bai Junzhuo heard her voice, he realized that she was a woman.
“I can cure you. You only need a simple surgical excision of the skin on your face.”
The man laughed bitterly and said, “Don’t lie to me.”
After she finished speaking, she slowly walked forward with the lantern in her hand. Bai Junzhuo hesitated for a moment and hurriedly followed.
The man ignored her and walked forward on his own. Finally, he entered a dilapidated temple and lay down with a lamp blown.
It was pitch black again. Bai Junzhuo could not see her, so he could only say to the air, “Miss, from your voice, you are only twenty years old. Do you really want to live on this face for the rest of your life?”
The man ignored Bai Junzhuo and breathed evenly from her direction, as if he had fallen asleep.
“Why don’t you let me try?” Bai Junzhuo paused for a moment and then asked, “You saved me. I don’t want to owe anyone else. If you don’t let me cure you, how about I send you a thousand silver taels tomorrow?”
The man sighed and finally said, “I was originally the daughter of a wealthy family. When my mother was alive, she searched for all the famous doctors in the world and failed to cure me. Later on, a Taoist priest came to my house and said that I was dirty and had been possessed by a ghost. My father obeyed the slander and chased me out, causing me to finally end up like this.”
“Just because someone else can’t cure you doesn’t mean I can’t cure you.” Bai Junzhuo listened to her voice and walked over to her. “Your illness is called capillary hemangioma. It’s the most common disease in my hometown. It can only be removed by surgery. In the past, those doctors must have been bribed by someone in your family, or quack doctors.”
And that daddy, listening to the theory of ghosts and gods, he was simply stupid and pedantic!
“Really?” The woman did not understand what Bai Junzhuo was saying and asked doubtfully.
Bai Junzhuo chuckled and said, “Anyway, no one else can cure him, so why not let me try?”
After a moment of silence, the woman finally said, “Alright.”
“It’s getting late now. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go back and get some medicinal ingredients and utensils. I’ll come and look for you before dawn.”
The woman whispered “hmm” and the two of them stopped talking. Not long after, Bai Junzhuo fell asleep. By the time she opened her eyes, the sky outside had already revealed a fishtail.
She hurriedly got up and rushed to the Medicine Hall. She took the medicine and utensils and returned to the broken temple. Coincidentally, the woman also woke up.
“I want to remove all the skin on your face. Even if I give you some anesthetic, it will hurt. You have to endure it.”
The woman did not have the slightest bit of fear. She nodded lightly, took the pill that Bai Junzhuo took out, and closed her eyes.
After Bai Junzhuo sterilized the knife, she began to cut off the skin on her face. This place was no more modern. There were no perfect surgical facilities and aseptic protection, so she had to be careful every step she took.
About two hours later, the woman’s skin was almost completely cut off. Bai Junzhuo applied another layer of herbs on her face and wrapped it around her face.
When the woman woke up from her coma, she opened her eyes and found that her horizons were much broader. She hurriedly reached out to touch her face, but Bai Junzhuo stopped her and said, “Don’t touch it. After touching the new skin, it won’t be smooth anymore.”
The woman nodded and Bai Junzhuo said, “Every six hours, I have to change the medicine for you, but I can’t always run this way … Why don’t you follow me back to the manor first and leave after you’re well?”
The woman’s eyes were filled with gratitude, and she was about to kneel down. Bai Junzhuo hurriedly reached out to stop her.
“Don’t thank me yet. I’m not doing it for you.” Bai Junzhuo raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
She would make her pay the price for trying to harm her!
Bai Manor.
Bai Juntao woke up early in the morning and sent Bi He out to investigate. Bi He had gone inside and outside three times, but she did not hear the news that “where did she find the third young miss of the Bai Clan lying on the street in disheveled clothes”.
“Bihe, are the people you’re looking for useful?” Bai Juntao was a little anxious as she walked around uneasily.
“Young miss, don’t worry. This servant has found seven or eight of them. Those people are all famous local ruffians. This time, she will definitely not be able to escape!”
Hearing Bihe’s words, Bai Juntao felt relieved. But at this moment, the nanny in her courtyard came in and reported, “Miss, Miss, Third Miss is back. She also brought a person with a gauze wrapped on her face.”
“What?” Bai Juntao was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Is there anything unusual about her?”
Mammy thought for a moment and said hesitantly, “Third young miss seems to be very happy, as if something good has happened.”
“What?!” Hearing this, Bai Juntao’s eyes turned red.
Even if she didn’t succeed in finding those people, what was there to be happy about? Could it be …
Bai Juntao was shocked and hurriedly rushed to Mrs. Zou’s courtyard.
After she arrived, she heard Madam Zou’s laughter from afar and felt even more worried. Could it be that the matter between Bai Junzhuo and the Shen Clan had really been settled?
After being notified, Bai Juntao went in. Everyone’s expression had been swept away and they looked at Bai Junzhuo worriedly. “Third sister, you didn’t come back last night. Grandma and I were very worried about you.”
When Madam Zou heard this, he remembered and asked, “Oh right, Zhuo’er, I only heard you mention the business of Shang Lu just now. I don’t know where you went last night. The people I sent searched all night but they didn’t find you.”
Bai Junzhuo looked up at Bai Juntao and smiled meaningfully for a long time.
Bai Juntao was shocked. She shouldn’t know anything, right?
“It’s Zhuo’er’s fault. I made grandma and sister worry,” Bai Junzhuo said. “Last night, after discussing with Second Master Shen, I wanted to go back to the manor immediately, but I met a seriously injured girl along the way and went to save her. It took me a night.”
Madam Zou nodded in admiration. “Yes, Gonglu’s daughters are as kind-hearted as him.”
Bai Junzhuo lowered his head and smiled. He looked at Bai Juntao. Although Bai Juntao was a little guilty, she remained calm and smiled back.
“By the way, Tao’er, I heard from Liu Shun that you discussed with Boss Xu last night. What was the result?” Madam Zou asked.
Bai Juntao originally wanted to conceal this matter from Madam Zou, but he didn’t expect that Liu Shun would say it, and his resentment towards Liu Shun deepened. She lowered her head and thought for a moment before revealing a guilty expression. She said, “Grandma, Tao’er is not doing a good job. Boss Xu is not willing to buy our Bai Family’s Shang Lu …”
“You can’t blame me for that,” Bai Junzhuo said with a smile. “After all, the price of the Shen Clan is there. As long as you’re a businessman, you’ll be tempted by this price. Then, can you think of a solution?”
Bai Juntao had already lost a city in the discussion, so what method could he think of to remedy it?
She looked at Madam Zou with a slight thought and probed, “Otherwise, our Bai Clan’s Shang Lu will also reduce the price?”
“Foolish!” Hearing this, Madam Zou slapped his chair and stood up. He pointed at Bai Juntao and said, “Do you know how much our Bai Clan Medicine Hall has lost in the past six months? If Shang Lu can’t make money and loses even more because of the price reduction, then the Bai Clan Medicine Hall will really fall into an abyss of eternal calamity!”
This was the first time Madam Zou was so angry with Bai Juntao. Bai Juntao hurriedly knelt down and explained, “Grandma, it was Tao’er’s fault. It was Tao’er who did not understand the current situation of the Bai Clan …”
Bai Junzhuo secretly smiled in his heart, but he advised, “Grandma, don’t be angry with sister. I think when sister and concubine ran the medicine hall together, concubine concubine concealed it from sister, so sister didn’t know what the medicine hall had turned into.”
Mrs. Zou calmed down and sat back in her chair. She said to Bai Juntao, “Zhuo’er, what you told me just now was a good idea. Just do as you said. Tao’er, you’ve been getting more and more impulsive lately. In the future, you need to think about things carefully before doing it.”
‘”Yes, Tao’er knows” Bai Juntao paused for a moment before continuing, “Tao’er will learn from my sister in the future.”
“Big sister is too modest,” Bai Junzhuo smiled and helped Bai Juntao up. “It’s little sister who wants to learn from big sister.”
Mrs. Zou nodded her head in satisfaction when she saw their harmonious appearance. “This matter needs to be done properly. You guys can go down first.”
The two of them left. After leaving the room, Bai Juntao turned around and gritted her teeth. Bai Junzhuo, who was behind her, sneered, “Is Big Sister unconvinced?”
Bai Juntao raised her head and said with a calm expression, “Little sister is joking. I wonder what little sister has come up with to make Grandma so happy?”
Bai Junzhuo looked at Bai Juntao and smiled maliciously, “I’ll handle this matter. Sister doesn’t need to know. But it’s true that Sister wants to learn from Sister. Sister learned what Sister sent to me last night.”
Bai Juntao’s eyes darkened, but she said, “Sister, what did you say? Why can’t I understand you?”
Bai Junzhuo stopped talking to her, smiled and left.
Bai Juntao’s eyes seemed to have turned poisonous as she looked at Bai Junzhuo’s back. After a long time, her clenched fists finally loosened.

In Yin Xun’s mansion, Mo Ying said to Yin Xun, “Master, the spy sent to the Bai Clan said that Miss Bai did not return last night and only returned this morning. She brought a person with a seriously injured face, and Miss Bai seemed to be injured.”
Yin Xun frowned and said with his chin propped up, “What happened last night?”
“This subordinate only sent people to monitor the Bai Manor, not to follow Miss Bai all the time, so I don’t know what happened …” Mo Ying said, “Master, Miss Bai saved Lu Kang …”
“Even if she didn’t save Lu Kang, I wouldn’t allow anyone to touch my people,” Yin Xun said. “Go investigate.”
“Yes!” Mo Ying accepted.
Yin Xun remained silent for a while, then said to Shen Qing, who was beside him, “Shen Qing, follow Bai Junzhuo in the future. Don’t let her die.”
“Your Highness” Shen Qing immediately knelt down and said, “But this subordinate’s duty is to protect Your Highness!”
“Duke Bai is dead. You have also seen Bai Junzhuo’s strength. Therefore, she is probably the only one who can save me now.”
As Yin Xun said this, Shen Qing frowned slightly and could only nod. “This subordinate understands.”
Bai Junzhuo left from Madam Zou and went straight to the medicine hall.
When they arrived at the Medicine Hall, they saw the waiter move the pokeweed out one box at a time. When Liu Shun saw Bai Jun burning over, he hurriedly smiled and greeted him. “Miss, things are settled. The medicine hall with Shen Ji is crazy about buying Shang Lu. Isn’t it? It sold for 2,000 kilograms in a single morning?”
Everything was as Bai Junzhuo had expected. She smiled and said, “Based on this trend, maybe we can sell more than 7,000 jin.”
“It’s just …” Liu Shun looked puzzled and asked, “Why did we increase the price of Shanglu together with the other medicine halls and sell more?”
