Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 79
Chapter 079 Encounter a Bitch at the Bottom of the Well
“You little brat, you’re actually still alive.”
Ah Qing slowly raised her head and faced a strange mask. She was so shocked that she retreated repeatedly and leaned against the door.
‘”Hey, Jiang Clan’s brat,” the masked man approached him. “Did you tell Yin Xun what your father told you before he died?”
Ah Qing was stunned for a moment before she opened her mouth and started crying.
The masked man looked at him for a long time and said coldly, “Don’t cry!”
Ah Qing cried even louder. Although there was a commotion outside, if he continued to cry like this, someone would definitely notice.
Thus, the masked man raised his hand and carried Ah Qing on his shoulder. He turned around and jumped out of the window.

Outside the Xuan Nu Temple, more than a hundred people were gathered inside and outside. They all knelt on the ground devoutly, chanting words in their mouths.
Shen Qing originally wanted to rush in and capture the Mysterious Woman. It was obvious that he was at a loss for what to do. He bent down and asked the middle-aged woman beside him, “Madam, what are you doing?”
The woman replied, “Tomorrow, the Holy Maiden will offer sacrifices to the heavens. We have not built a Holy Maiden Temple before, so we have gathered at the Profound Maiden Temple to pray for the Holy Maiden.”
Shen Qing frowned and said, “Didn’t the demons say that they didn’t want the Holy Maiden to offer sacrifices to the heavens, but that they wanted the Mysterious Maiden to evacuate the money?”
“But the Mysterious Lady scattered her money, but my son’s illness is even more serious. The Mysterious Lady said that with her strength, she really can’t calm the anger of the demons. She can only sacrifice herself to the heavens with the body of the Holy Lady.”
“How could your family’s illness be more serious? Did you not follow Miss Bai’s words and send them to Lord Cha?”
The woman’s face flashed with anger. “Don’t think that I don’t know. Lord Cha has put all the sick people in jail. My child didn’t do anything wrong. He’s just sick. Why is he in jail?”
Shen Qing frowned. This group of people was simply unreasonable.
“Besides, the Holy Daughter herself came out to see us just now and told us that she was willing to sacrifice herself to save lives.”
“Have you seen Miss Bai?”
…
He took a deep breath and asked in a different tone, “Does Madam know where the Holy Maiden is now?”
The woman clasped her hands together and said to him, “Just now, the Mystic Maiden and the Holy Maiden went to the back together.”
Shen Qing immediately went to the backyard of Xuan Nu Temple.
There was no one in the backyard, and this was just a courtyard. There was a well in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a big tree beside the well. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Just as she was observing, she suddenly heard a movement in the well. Shen Qing leapt up the tree and looked down. She saw Xuan Nu climbing out of the well with a lamp in her hand.
It was estimated that Bai Junzhuo was hiding in that well. If he jumped down and killed the Profound Maiden now, he might alert the people outside. After pondering for a moment, Shen Qing did not move. After the Profound Maiden left, she jumped down from the tree and lowered her head to look at the well.
“Miss Bai, are you inside?” Shen Qing shouted softly.
The only answer was his own reply.
Shen Qing jumped into the well. The top of the well was relatively narrow, but the bottom was very spacious. It was very similar to a natural karst cave. There was no water, and the soil on the ground was very solid.
Light shone in front of him as Shen Qing approached the light. The scene in front of him gradually became clearer.
There were two dim torches lit on the surrounding walls. There was a small iron cage in the middle. Bai Junzhuo’s eyes were tightly closed as he curled up in the middle of the cage.
Shen Qing immediately rushed over and shouted, “Miss Bai, wake up.”
Bai Junzhuo’s face darkened. Hearing someone calling her, he frowned, but did not open his eyes.
Shen Qing reached out and pushed her again. Only then did she slowly wake up, but her expression was still somewhat confused.
“Miss Bai, are you alright? I’ll get you out of here!” As he spoke, Shen Qing pulled out her saber and chopped the chains on the cage. She let out ear-piercing friction sounds and flames, but the lock did not move at all.
This shocked Bai Junzhuo back to her senses. She immediately sat up and asked Shen Qing, “How is the Bai Manor now?”
“Concubine Lin imprisoned Old Lady. Old Lady told me to come and save you, and then discuss countermeasures to save her.” Shen Qing replied and used some strength to cut the chain.
Bai Junzhuo covered his ears and said to him, “Don’t make this lock. It won’t open.”
Shen Qing withdrew her saber and said, “Then I’ll take this cage out together.”
“Don’t be impulsive. Listen to me.” Bai Junzhuo hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t panic and save me. That Profound Maiden gave me poison to prevent others from saving me. She won’t let me die yet. You go back and protect Grandma first. Tomorrow, at three o’clock, she will send me to Nanshi City to offer sacrifices to the heavens. That’s the best time to save me.”
“But …”
“Right, there’s one more thing I haven’t told you.” Bai Junzhuo didn’t give him a chance to speak. He continued, “These two days, a man wearing a mask often comes and goes in and out of the Bai Manor. It seems that he has a close relationship with your master.”
“You’re here for my master?” Shen Qing Ning Mei thought for a moment and suddenly said, “Oh no, Ah Qing is still in the mansion!”
Bai Junzhuo said, “Hurry up and go back.”
Shen Qing nodded, “Miss Bai, I’ll do as you said. I’ll save you tomorrow at three minutes past six.”
He immediately left the well and left the Profound Maiden Temple.
When Bai Jun Zhuo saw him leave, he lay down powerlessly and closed his eyes to rest. She had to conserve her strength so that she could escape easily.
After a long time, she heard footsteps approaching. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Lin Bailian. Behind her was a person who was hiding in the dark and could not see her face.
Bai Junzhuo didn’t have the mood to care about them. In any case, they wouldn’t kill Xuan Nu because of her needs for the time being. So she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
“Hmph, I really hate your calm and unhurried appearance. It seems like we are fleas jumping around in front of you.” The person behind Lin Bailian suddenly walked over to the cage and spoke.
Hearing her voice, Bai Junzhuo opened his eyes and said faintly, “So it’s Sister Flea. How are you?”
“Don’t be complacent! You definitely didn’t expect it to be me. Think that I’m still obediently staying in the temple, right? Bai Junzhuo, I really hate you. Today, you fell into my hands. I definitely won’t let you live a good life!” Bai Juntao angrily said to her.
Bai Junzhuo said indifferently, “Then kill me, so that I won’t be burned alive tomorrow.”
“Of course I will kill you!” Bai Juntao put her hand into the cage and pulled her up.
“Tao’er!” Lin Bailian hurriedly stopped her, “Mysterious Maiden still wants to sacrifice her to the heavens tomorrow. Don’t mess up her plans.”
“Mother, Bai Junzhuo is such a bitch. Of course, he has to scratch off her flesh one knife at a time. After letting go of her blood, burning her to death is simply too cheap for her!”
Bai Junzhuo sneered and looked straight at Bai Juntao, “I haven’t seen you for days. You’re still so stupid.”
Bai Juntao threw her a slap and sneered, “I’m stupid? Didn’t you still fall into my hands?”
Bai Junzhuo continued to provoke her, “Then kill me and scratch off my flesh. It would be best if everyone doesn’t recognize me. When the people of Luoyang shout for the Profound Maiden to hand over the Holy Maiden tomorrow, the Profound Maiden won’t be able to bring anyone out. Guess what she will tell those people?”
Bai Juntao’s expression became even angrier, but she was speechless.
“I guess, she will say that the Holy Daughter must have ascended to the heavens as soon as possible. Why don’t you sacrifice her sister to the heavens?” Bai Junzhuo imitated Xuan Nu’s tone and said to her.
Lin Bailian hurriedly stroked Bai Juntao’s hand and advised her, “Maybe Xuan Nu really can do such a thing. Tao’er, don’t kill her for the time being. Anyway, she will undoubtedly die tomorrow.”
Bai Juntao gritted her teeth and shook off Bai Junzhuo fiercely. She said to Bai Junzhuo arrogantly, “Oh right, let me tell you one more thing. Not long after you die, I will kill Grandma. You must take good care of Grandma in the Underworld.”
Bai Junzhuo’s expression changed as he coldly said, “Bai Juntao, you’re so heartless. Grandma treats you so well, and she always thinks of you. You actually want to kill her.”
“Oh, my third sister really has a conscience,” Bai Juntao put her face in front of the cage and said to her in a weird tone, “Always thinking of me? But why do I see that she is always biased towards you?”
Bai Junzhuo had always admired Madam Zou in his heart. Seeing that Bai Juntao was like this, he couldn’t help but want to vent his anger on Madam Zou’s behalf. She touched her waist and found that the small bag she had instantly carried was gone. It should have been taken away by the Profound Maiden.
Fortunately, there were a few silver needles hidden in her sleeves. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Juntao. Suddenly, she grabbed her collar. She raised her other hand and stabbed a needle into her head.
Lin Bailian did not see her movements clearly. She only thought that Bai Junzhuo pulled Bai Juntao back and immediately went up to separate them. She said, “Tao’er, stay away from her. This girl is very ghostly.”
Just as she pulled Bai Juntao away, she rolled her eyes and spat out white foam. She fell to the ground and started twitching.
“What did you do to Tao’er?” Lin Bailian roared at Bai Junzhuo.
Bai Junzhuo smiled at her and said to her, “Come here, concubine mother. Come closer, I’ll tell you.”
Of course, Lin Bailian didn’t dare to get close to her. What if she was made to look like this?
“Hmph, just smile. You can only live for the last day anyway!” Lin Bailian said angrily and set up Bai Juntao to walk out.
Bai Junzhuo snorted coldly and lay down to sleep.

Shen Qing thought about what Ah Qing’s father, Jiang Cheng, had said before he died. Only Ah Qing knew. If the masked man in Bai Junzhuo’s mouth was really targeting his master, he would definitely attack Ah Qing.
He hurriedly returned to the Bai Manor. It was already late. In Bai Junzhuo’s courtyard, Xingzi led the servants and maids in the courtyard, while Lizi led the people from the Medicine Hall to beat down all those who came to cause trouble and tie them together.
Seeing Shen Qing return, Xingzi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Young Master Shen, where is Miss?”
Shen Qing replied, “I’ve already found Miss Bai’s whereabouts. However, she won’t let me rescue her for the time being. You don’t have to worry. She will be fine for the time being. Have you seen Ah Qing?”
Xingzi patted his head and said, “I was busy fighting today and forgot about this child. He was in Miss’ room this morning and never came out.”
Shen Qing immediately went to Bai Junzhuo’s room and pushed open the door. The room was empty, and there was no trace of A Qing.
Xingzi also followed in. He didn’t see Ah Qing, so he immediately went out and said to the people outside, “Hurry, everyone help find Little Young Master Ah Qing!”
Shen Qing knew that Ah Qing must have been taken away by the masked man, so it would be futile to look for her in the Bai Manor.
He said to Xingzi, “I’m going out to look for it.”
“Hey, but Luoyang is so big, you …”
Before Xingzi could finish his words, Shen Qing had already disappeared.
As a result, Shen Qing searched the city for an entire night and found no clues at all.
When the white tail appeared in the east, he slowly walked into a narrow alley. Suddenly, he stopped and said coldly in a certain direction, “Are you tired after following me all night?”
