The old woman has lived for so many years and has seen all the ups and downs in the world. She has heard and seen too much.

So after realizing that something was wrong with Shaoyao, she did not say anything. Instead, she kept everything to herself and observed quietly.

The more she observed, the more she felt that it was not the real peony. She did not dare to get close, and only dared to secretly burn paper money to summon the spirit after the person left.

The old woman said expectantly, "Girl, do you have any way to help me find the real peony?"

Jiang Xue Ning promised, "I will try my best."

She asked some more details, and the old woman left with the basket. She secretly put a silver ingot into her basket.

Gu Tangli saw it all, and waited until the old woman left before asking, "Sister, did you give her the silver because you think the real peony can't be found?"

"It's not easy for an old man to be alone. I'm afraid the real Peony has been killed."

She took out the flying knife she had picked up. It was thin and sharp, shining coldly in the moonlight.

"The current Shaoyao should be of a very important identity."

"That means Wen Shiyue really lied." Gu Tangli frowned, "Why did he do that?"

“It’s definitely worth exploring.”

When they returned to the mansion, Jiang Xue asked someone to pull Bai Zhu, who had fallen asleep, out of bed.

Bai Zhu cursed unhappily, "I really owed you two in my last life, and I am enslaved by you in this life."

Jiang Xue Ning handed him a cup of tea and said, "Drink some tea to calm your temper and wake you up."

He took it sleepily and poured himself half a cup of tea. Then he yawned and said, "What's the matter in the middle of the night? You woke me up and disturbed my sweet sleep."

"It's a weird and interesting thing indeed."

She explained the doubts and problems about Shaoyao and Gu Hanzhou, and Bai Zhu instantly perked up. He stroked his chin and said, "Being possessed by a ghost is ridiculous... Hehe, but since you're still sitting here, it's not impossible..."

"Compared to this statement, I am more inclined to believe that it is a disguise." She analyzed rationally, "It is also a common method used by people in the underworld."

"But when I looked at their faces, especially Wen Shiyue's, I didn't see any strange feeling of disguise."

With his medical skills and experience, he would definitely be able to tell if it was an ordinary disguise.

Jiang Xue Ning chuckled, "Tomorrow I will check his recovery and get closer to him. You should be able to tell whether he is in disguise or not."

"give it to me."

The next day, Gu Hanzhou got up and went to the dining room to eat. Several maids cleaned up the room as usual, and the flowers in the room were replaced with an unknown white flower, which was placed in the corner.

Not long after breakfast, Bai Zhu came with Doctor Zhou, carrying a medicine box.

Bai Zhu smiled at him and said, "Let me check the wounds on your body and the recovery of your foot."

Gu Hanzhou smiled and said, "Thank you for the trouble."

"You need to take off your clothes, and everyone else please leave."

The maids left and Shaoyao also went to the outer room.

Doctor Zhou said seriously, "His foot injury is quite serious. I will teach you some massage techniques. Massage him every day to help the blood circulation recover soon."

Shaoyao couldn't refuse, so she could only maintain her orphan girl persona and said softly, "I will study hard."

In the room, Bai Zhu carefully checked him over and said, "You're recovering well. I'm taking his pulse."

After taking the pulse for a while, he frowned and said, "The blood circulation is blocked and there is stagnation in the body."

Before Gu Hanzhou could react, she quickly gave him a few needles on his chest and feet. "Don't move. I'll help you dredge your meridians and help your blood flow."

Gu Hanzhou, who had been pricked with many needles, could only lie there depressed, not daring to move.

"How long will it take?"

"It will probably take about an incense stick of time, just wait patiently."

After Bai Zhu finished speaking, he went to the table, picked up a pen and began to write a prescription for him seriously. He looked cautious and serious, a very dedicated doctor.

Gu Hanzhou looked at him for a while, then raised his head to look at the roof. He didn't dare to move anything except his head and eyes.

As he stared, he suddenly fell into darkness and lost consciousness.

Bai Zhu put down the brush in his hand, walked over and slapped him twice on the face. After confirming that the man was indeed unconscious, he began to examine him.

The pot of flowers in his room was a new treasure of his. Adding it to the tea he drank this morning, he would fall into a deep sleep without realizing it.

He came at the right time.

Bai Zhu carefully examined his face and found no signs of disguise.

"It's really strange..."

But his fingertips could feel a faint scar on the edge of his cheek.

Bai Zhu even pinched the edge of his skin and tried to tear off his human skin mask, but he couldn't tear it off, which meant it was his real face, not a disguise or a mask.

But if you look closely, you can see shallow scars, which makes it hard not to think too much.

"It's really interesting..."

After a long while, Bai Zhu took out the bottle and placed it under his nose, letting him smell the strange fragrance coming out of the bottle. While removing the needle, he patted him twice, "Okay, that's it."

Gu Hanzhou opened his eyes, his mind was blank, he had no idea what had just happened.

Bai Zhu said nonchalantly, "The time of one stick of incense has come. I see you are confused."

He gave the prescription to Shaoyao and asked her to take it to the pharmacy in the mansion to get the medicine. He then left with Doctor Zhou.

Shaoyao entered the inner room and whispered, "Check what's taking so long. I thought something had happened."

"He gave me an injection."

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what it was.

"Take some time to go to Lihua Village and see if anyone is asking about us. I feel very uneasy."

Shaoyao frowned and said, "The palace is heavily guarded and has many rules. After entering, you really have to be careful every step you take, and it's even harder to leave."

"Then find a reason and say you want to go home."

He began to feel that his decision to show up and enter the palace earlier was a wrong one.

Unfortunately, now that I’m in, it’s difficult to get out.

Bai Zhu went to the study room. Gu Tangli was waiting anxiously for Jiang Xue Ning, but she was indifferent.

"what's the result?"

"It's hard to say. We've confirmed that it's not a disguise, nor a human skin mask. But the edges of his face, especially near the ears, feel like shallow scars.

The location of the wound is so unique that it cannot be seen with the naked eye. It must have been treated with scar-lightening medicine. It is hard not to think too much about it. "

Jiang Xue Ning pulled a book from the bookshelf behind her and threw it into his hands, "Look at the page I folded."

This is a book of martial arts talks, which tells many bizarre and special martial arts stories.

The page she folded told the story of two women and one man, two of the women had their faces replaced, and the love, hatred and vengeance that ensued.
