Chapter 298 The Next Target of Revenge
Qin Tingfang: "It's just a dog raised by the prince!"
"How dare a dog admire its master? What a joke."
Qiu Shui's face was extremely gloomy. Without even thinking, she kicked Qin Tingfang.
Qin Tingfang was kicked directly, and his heart, liver and lungs were almost dislocated due to the pain.
She became even more angry and reached out to pull Qiu Shui's hair.
The two men started to wrestle with each other.
When Qin Kun heard the news and rushed over and saw this scene, the expression on his face was as cold as frost.
"Are you all crazy?"
When the two women heard his voice, they stopped.
After Qin Kun heard what the two said, he naturally scolded Qin Tingfang first.
"I told you not to act rashly before, so when can't Guangping Marquis's Mansion take revenge?"
"I didn't let Marquis Guangping in this time, and I won't pay any attention to him in the future. You just stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere during this period of time!"
"If you do anything rash again, I will scratch your face and throw you back to that person!"
Qin Tingfang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded, "Yes, godfather."
Qin Kun looked at Qiu Shui coldly again, frowned and said:
"You're not usually this impulsive. What happened this time?"
Qiu Shui's eyes were red. "Your Majesty, my brother is missing. I can't find him no matter how hard I try. No one around knows where he went."
Qiu Shui's father was executed for delaying military intelligence, and all the female members of his family were made slaves.
As a result, a plague killed all the people.
The Ninth Prince stepped in and saved Qiu Shui and her younger brother Luo Sheng.
From then on, Qiu Shui began to use all his skills to work for the Ninth Prince, even going so far as to enter a brothel.
But she protected her younger brother Luo Sheng well.
Luo Sheng suffered a traumatic childhood and became ill. He became unable to speak and became increasingly irritable.
Qiu Shui also knew that what the prince was going to do was very dangerous.
So I kept my brother hidden in a farm in the country and took good care of him.
But who would have thought that in the morning, someone from the farm came to report that his younger brother was missing?
Only then did Qin Kun understand why she was so panicked.
His brows softened, and he reached out and held Qiu Shui's hand.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to find him right away. It's been many years since your family's events. No one remembers it."
"Maybe he went out to have fun. We will definitely find him. Don't worry."
Holding his big hand, Qiu Shui nodded with red eyes.
At this time, in the study of Qin Mansion.
Su Ziyuan reported:
"Master, the Sixth Prince has captured Qiu Shui's brother and locked him up. Qiu Shui should have received the news."
Lu Jingyu: "Next, we have to see what happens at the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
Su Ziyuan: "Yes. By the way, Master, today our people saw Marquis Guangping go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion."
"He looked very anxious, but he didn't even go through the door."
Lu Jingyu also heard the rumors.
Shen Ruoying is still alive and has met with Zhao Jing and others in private.
Su Ziyuan looked at his master's expression and whispered, "Madam asked Aunt Chen to do that."
A smile appeared on Lu Jingyu's face.
"Lime is so smart."
Su Ziyuan: “…”
Lu Jingyu became serious again the next moment, "In a few days, when the dark market reopens, I will go there again, and you can come with me then."
"Yes, Master."
After finishing his government affairs, Lu Jingyu went to the backyard.
He saw Gu Qingning looking through the warehouse information.
Lu Jingyu: "Qing Ning, why are you looking at this?"
Gu Qingning: "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming up, and I don't know what gift to give her."
The Queen Mother is an elder after all, so she still has to follow the official etiquette.
Moreover, this was the first time that Lu Jingyu celebrated the empress dowager’s birthday as a grandson.
Lu Jingyu also looked at it and said, "Just pick out some expensive ones with good meanings."
Gu Qingning: "That's what I mean, as long as we do our best."
Lu Jingyu stood beside her, put his arms around her, and finally tapped her.
"Just give me this jade Ruyi screen. It looks big and is also very valuable."
Gu Qingning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But since Lu Jingyu has made up his mind, let’s just choose this gift.
She didn't want to worry too much.
After choosing the gift, Gu Qingning asked someone to go to the warehouse to take out the screen and check it carefully to make sure there were no problems.
Here, Lu Jingyu told Gu Qingning about Marquis Guangping’s visit to the Ninth Prince’s Palace.
"He left without even entering the door."
"But I think the only thing that could make Marquis Guangping so nervous right now is the matter of his son Shen Qi."
Gu Qingning: "Is Shen Ruoying really still alive?"
Lu Jingyu nodded, "That's probably the case."
Gu Qingning murmured, “So, the master behind Zhao Jing at the beginning was actually Shen Ruoying?”
“And the county lord of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion now is also Shen Ruoying?”
Lu Jingyu: "I just don't know why Qin Kun wants to help Shen Ruoying. Or maybe there are other interests between them."
It seems that the interests between them have nothing to do with the Guangping Marquis's Mansion.
However, the person who attacked Guangping Marquis Mansion was also Shen Ruoying?
Also, how did she change her appearance?
Gu Qingning suddenly said, "I remember Doctor Bai taught us that there is a face-changing technique that can make a person look like someone else."
"But this kind of face-changing technique requires human skin and very rare medicinal herbs. Those things are only available in the Western Regions."
Lu Jingyu: "The Western Region again?"
Gu Qingning: "I remember it like this. Since Divine Doctor Bai is still in the capital, you can ask for details."
Lu Jingyu nodded.
If this face-changing technique is really related to the Western Regions.
So the people in the Western Regions have also established a relationship with Qin Kun?
Because this matter is very important and is related to the investigation of the dark market.
Without further ado, Lu Jingyu decided to go to the clinic to see Doctor Bai immediately.
Gu Qingning stayed in the study alone. She took out a brush and wrote the word "Sakura".
That Qin Tingfang is indeed Shen Ruoying.
No wonder she had a very familiar feeling towards her.
How can you not be familiar with it?
After all, they had been "sisters" for ten years in the Guangping Marquis' Mansion.
If Shen Ruoying is the person behind Zhao Jing.
Then everything can be explained as to how the former Duke Qin's Mansion, now the Marquis Ping'an Mansion, has become what it is today.
This is Shen Ruoying's work!
Feng Yuaner is dead, Feng Shi is dead, Lu Hangzhi is deposed, and the Ping'an Marquis Mansion began to decline.
Then, something happened in Guangping Marquis's mansion, and Shen Qi was about to be executed...
Gu Qingning murmured, “Chen Ruoying, will your next target of revenge be me?”
That should be it.
Because Shen Ruoying pointed at her and kept saying that she had robbed her of her life.
Gu Qingning half lowered her eyes, picked up the brush, and chuckled.
I have never snatched Shen Ruoying's life.
Everything was just a result of her greed and selfishness, which led to one wrong step after another.
As for Shen Ruoying's revenge on herself...
Gu Qingning now has to secretly fight against the Queen Mother, but she is always calm and composed.
Too much debt is not a burden.
Anyway, Shen Ruoying is now on the side of the Ninth Prince, and has undoubtedly become her enemy!
**
It was already dark, and when Lu Jingyu appeared in the clinic, Wei Shuhe was startled.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Lu Jingyu: "I have something urgent to discuss with Mr. Bai."
Wei Shuhe nodded, and immediately led the way for him and sent him to Mr. Bai's yard.
Doctor Bai is ready to rest. As he is old, he should go to bed early.
He had only washed half of his face.
Looking at Lu Jingyu, he said helplessly: "What's the big deal? Can't you come back tomorrow?"
"I am so sleepy that I can hardly open my eyes."
Lu Jingyu picked up a chair and sat down, "Mr. Bai, do you know the face-changing technique?"
Doctor Bai was stunned for a moment, and then his expression gradually became serious.
"It is recorded in ancient books, but this method is very demanding and requires more than just superb medical skills."
"We also need many rare materials, some of which are only available in the Western Regions."
"The most important material is human skin."
"Moreover, it has to be fresh, young human skin."
Doctor Bai had never done such a cruel and immoral method before, and he even sneered at it and was very disgusted with it.
They are doctors, their job is to save lives and heal the wounded, how can they do things that are against the will of mankind?
Lu Jingyu: "Now, someone seems to have used the face-changing technique."
Doctor Bai: "What?"
Lu Jingyu then told her that Qin Tingfang was Chen Ruoying.
"We are currently speculating that this is the case. We are still looking for evidence, but it is almost certain."
"Old Bai, apart from the fact that the materials came from the Western Regions, do you know who else in this world has this medical skill?"
This face-changing technique is very complicated, and there are definitely not many people in the world who can do it.
Doctor Bai stroked his beard and said slowly, "There are probably only two people in the world, not counting me, who can master such advanced medical skills."
"One is my old friend, Dongfang Zhu. His whereabouts are uncertain and he often travels around the world."
"The other person is my junior fellow apprentice, Fang Jie. His talent in medicine is not inferior to mine."
"However, he was expelled from the sect twenty years ago, and no one knows where he went."
Lu Jingyu: "Why did you expel him from the sect back then?"
Doctor Bai shook his head. "My master only said that he lacked the heart of a doctor. I don't know the details."
Nowadays, his master has passed away for many years, and this matter cannot be verified, so he can only ask Fang Jie himself.
"I don't even know if Fang Jie is still alive, or if he has any descendants, apprentices, or anything like that."
"If he is no longer here, but has passed on his medical skills to his apprentice."
"If his apprentice is also talented, he may also be able to perform the face-changing technique."
There is still no definite clue for the time being, but Lu Jingyu feels that this incident has completely connected the Western Regions.
He carefully asked Doctor Bai about Fang Jie's appearance and painted on the spot.
Doctor Bai looked at the person in the portrait and said with emotion:
"Yes, he really does. But I only remember his appearance from 20 years ago. He should be old now."
"I don't know if I can help you."
