Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 36
Chapter 036 Xuan Nu Came to Cause Trouble
When Bai Junzhuo woke up again, it was already dawn. He sent Lizi to the Medicine Hall, but Lizi hasn’t returned yet. It seems that there’s nothing big going on in the Medicine Hall.
After washing up and eating breakfast, she locked herself in the pharmacy and prepared food for the rats. Halfway through, she found that there was no water and called for Xingzi to come in.
After calling out three times, Xingzi walked in. Bai Junzhuo tilted his head to look at her. Her face was slightly red and she was panting. Bai Junzhuo asked, “Where have you been? Your hair is covered in sweat.”
“Young miss, this servant has gone to see the Profound Maiden,” Xing Zi said excitedly. “I heard that the immortal aunt invited here today is the reincarnation of the Profound Maiden. Young miss, go take a look too!”
Bai Junzhuo chuckled, “There is no such thing as a fairy maiden in this world. It’s just that those who need it fantasize about comforting themselves. Some people use this to deceive others.”
Xingzi’s face suddenly darkened. He hurriedly turned around and closed the door. Then, he said to Bai Junzhuo in a panic, “Miss, don’t say that. If the Mysterious Lady hears about it, she will be angry.”
Bai Junzhuo was too lazy to argue with her. He pointed to the bucket at hand and said, “Go and bring me the bucket of water.”
Xingzi went out to fetch water, but a moment later, Fu Mingyue came in and placed the water beside Bai Junzhuo’s feet.
Fu Mingyue’s face was wrapped in gauze, but her eyes were much livelier than before. Seeing that it was her, Bai Jun Zhuo asked, “Why are you here? Where’s Xing Zi?”
“I heard that Empress Xuan Nu is doing something, so she called me over to help you. She went to see for herself.”
Bai Junzhuo sighed, “This girl is getting more and more presumptuous. I really don’t know what’s so good about this God Ghost thing.”
Fu Mingyue said faintly, “The matter of the gods and ghosts has always been the usual method used by women in large houses. You should be careful as well.”
Bai Junzhuo remembered that Fu Mingyue had been driven out of the house because of the God Ghost Theory, so he stopped talking to prevent her from thinking about sad things. “This Mysterious Maiden was invited by Grandma, not concubine mother …”
“Then do you know why Old Lady invited someone to do it this time?”
Bai Junzhuo slowed down and pondered for a moment. He shook his head and said, “I didn’t expect that. But now, concubine mother Lin came back and said that the house was dirty. Could it really be that she was the one who started this matter to deal with me?”
Fu Mingyue said, “In short, be careful to sail for ten thousand years.”
“Yes.” Bai Junzhuo nodded lightly and looked at Fu Mingyue. “You were only a few years old when you left home and you already knew so many things. It seems that your family background is much more complicated than mine.”
Fu Mingyue smiled bitterly. “It was only after I left home that I slowly understood the principles of survival. But now, what’s the use of saying these things? I’m afraid I’ll never be able to return to that home, and I won’t be able to see that person anymore.”
Bai Jun Zhuo saw that her thoughts were wounded again and quickly comforted her, “Your face has already begun to grow new skin. I’ll give you some medicine for internal use to speed up the growth of your skin. I estimate that you will be able to remove the gauze in less than seven days and be a new person.”
Fu Mingyue nodded. Her eyes were filled with hope for the future. Bai Junzhuo said, “Oh right, the medicine I’m prescribing right now may delay the healing of the wound. You should go out … just call Shen Qing in to help me.”
Fu Mingyue answered and went out. Shen Qing came in not long after. She watched Bai Junzhuo busy for a while. The pungent smell of herbs made him frown. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Bai, if there’s nothing else, can I go out and wait?”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him amusedly, “Didn’t he send you here to spy on me? Aren’t you watching me all the time?”
Shen Qing’s expression changed slightly, but he did not refute, “Master, however, has the intention of monitoring, but more of it is to protect Miss Bai.”
Bai Junzhuo did not know whether what he said was true or false, but his heart softened for no reason. His tone also softened a little, and he said to him, “Now I am rationing the food for those mice.”
Shen Qing nodded. “Could it be that Miss Bai wants to use these mice to test the medicine?”
“Yes,” Bai Junzhuo nodded. “But most of these mice are sick. Let’s feed them for a while and let them recover. Then we’ll give them the poison and then try the medicine. Otherwise, if they die, we don’t know if they died of illness or poison.”
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Miss Bai, you don’t need to tell me about this matter. You can do whatever you want. As long as it’s related to Master’s poison, I won’t question any instructions.”
Bai Junzhuo looked at him and said, “I told you to watch. I wanted you to tell your master to let him feel at ease.”
Shen Qing smiled and said, “I will tell Master that Miss Bai is so considerate. It’s really unexpected.”
“It’s just that I don’t want to cause any more trouble …”
Just as Bai Junzhuo was speaking, someone knocked on the door.
She didn’t let anyone in and asked through the door, “What’s the matter?”
“Third Young Miss, Old Madame asks Mysterious Lady to pray for the people of the Bai Manor to dissipate their calamity. Eldest Young Miss and Concubine have already gone, so I need you.”
Bai Junzhuo thought of Fu Mingyue’s advice. What if Concubine Lin really wanted to do something to him with ghosts and gods? Now you’re going, aren’t you? However, it was Madam Zou who had spoken, and she could not find a good reason to refuse.
The person outside said, “Third young miss, please prepare as soon as possible. The sun is bright outside, don’t let the matriarch wait too long.”
“Nanny, go back first. I’ll be right there.” Bai Junzhuo still intended to go over and turned to Shen Qing. “Don’t let anyone enter this room until I come back.”
Shen Qing nodded in agreement. Bai Junzhuo went out to change his clothes and directly went out.
As soon as they arrived at Madam Zou’s courtyard, they heard Lin Bailian’s weak voice, “Mysterious Maiden, can you catch that monster?”
As soon as Lin Bailian finished speaking, another clear voice sounded, “This monster’s cultivation is extremely deep, and his resentment is deep. I’m afraid …”
Bai Jun raised his eyebrows and found it funny.
Empress Xuan Nu said this, which meant that she wanted to increase the money. Indeed, the swindlers all followed the same routine.
She stretched out her hand and pulled open the door of the courtyard and walked in. There were many people standing in the middle of the courtyard, surrounding the Mysterious Lady.
This Mysterious Maiden was ordinary-looking and seemed to be twenty-seven to eighty years old, but she only wore extraordinarily luxurious clothes. The brocade robe was covered with mink cicada-wing yarn, a teardrop-shaped gem hanging from his forehead, and six thick ruby phoenix hairpins with scarlet gold titles stuck on his head. It was indeed brilliant. It was just that she really didn’t hate the heat of dressing up like this in early summer.
She held the sword in one hand and the talisman paper in the other. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, she turned to look at Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo smiled at one another and slowly walked forward, nodding his head and saying, “Mysterious Maiden.”
The other party glanced up and down at Bai Junzhuo and frowned slightly. He turned around and asked Madam Zou, “Who is this?”
“She is also my granddaughter, ranked third.”
Xuan Nu looked around Bai Junzhuo again and sighed as she watched.
Seeing her like this, Madam Zou’s expression changed slightly and he hurriedly asked, “But what’s wrong with my third granddaughter?”
Xuan Nu said, “The demonic aura on Third Young Miss is very heavy.”
Bai Junzhuo narrowed his eyes.
Mrs. Zou felt that the monster in the manor was going to harm Bai Junzhuo when she heard her words. She hurriedly said to Xuan Nu, “Please save my granddaughter, Xuan Nu Empress. In the future, I will definitely have a big gift to thank you.”
Bai Junzhuo laughed out loud and said to the mystic woman, “Mystic Maiden, are you mistaken? My mind is clear, and I have never done anything against my will. It is impossible for a demon to possess me.”
“You weren’t possessed by a demon,” Mysterious Woman raised her sword in front of her. “You’re clearly a demon! Look at me, except for you!”
Bai Junzhuo never imagined that the mystic woman would actually move her saber as she spoke. She hurriedly dodged her sword. In a hurry, she suddenly hid behind Lin Bailian and hugged her arm and shouted, “Auntie, Auntie, save me …”
Lin Bailian was also afraid that the sword would hurt her, so she pushed Bai Junzhuo away and said with a disgusted expression, “You evil beast, you actually made our Bai Clan’s mansion ineffective, and you’re still pretending to be Zhuo’er! Mysterious Lady, please take her away quickly!”
It was unknown if Bai Junzhuo was pretending or if Lin Bailian was really too forceful. She actually pushed Bai Junzhuo to sit on the ground. Bai Junzhuo did not say anything and raised his head to look at Madam Zou bitterly. It was as if Madam Zou was looking at her.
Although Mrs. Zou believed in ghosts and gods, she wasn’t completely brainless. How could Bai Junzhuo look like a powerful monster? Moreover, Lin Bailian said that the matter of the demon was only one side of her story …
Thinking of this, Madam Zou hurriedly said, “Stop!”
After all, it was Madam Zou. When the profound woman heard her words, she did not dare to be too presumptuous. She stopped and righteously said to Madam Zou, “Old Lady, why didn’t you let this sovereign accept this monster?”
Madam Zou took a deep look at her and said faintly, “Mysterious Maiden, you said that my granddaughter is an incarnation of a monster. Can you make her reveal her prototype so that we can be convinced? If my granddaughter wasn’t, wouldn’t she have been killed by you by mistake?”
When Xuan Nu heard this, she revealed a sullen expression and said to Madam Zou bluntly, “Old Lady, don’t you believe this sovereign?”
Mrs. Zou also said coldly, “Don’t dare, don’t dare. I just can’t listen to the Empress and take my granddaughter’s life!”
“Hmph.” Xuan Nu coldly snorted and slightly raised her chin. She threw the sword and talisman paper in her hand aside and opened her arms in the direction of the sun.
Bai Junzhuo didn’t know what she was going to do. She stared at her for a while, but she didn’t move. Then, she looked at Lin Bailian, who had a slightly anxious expression, and Bai Juntao, who was covered in a veil, who hadn’t said anything, so that they wouldn’t do anything.
Suddenly, Bai Junzhuo felt the surrounding air suddenly heat up. A strong light shot out from the Mysterious Maiden’s body, piercing people’s eyes.
She raised her arm to cover her eyes and heard Lin Bailian scream in horror.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that the Mysterious Lady’s entire body was ignited with a raging blue-green flame, and she stood in the middle of the fire, unharmed
