Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 102 Night Visit

As soon as Jiang Ruan stepped in, she heard an impatient voice saying, "You are so nosy all day long. Is the master really going to keep me under house arrest for life? Can't I go and apologize to Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Ruan paused and asked with a smile, "What are you apologizing for?"

Ye Feng turned back impatiently, "Of course it's Bao..." He swallowed the rest of the sentence in his mouth, and he opened his mouth in surprise, "Miss Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang?"

Jiang Ruan sat down on the chair opposite him and said, "I have something urgent to see your master."

As soon as Xiao Shao returned to Dongfeng Tower, the maid downstairs told him that someone was waiting in the elegant room. When he went up to the secret room on the second floor, he saw Ye Feng staring at the person in front of him nervously as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing Xiao Shao coming, Ye Feng hurriedly stood up and bowed his head and said, "Master."

Xiao Shao waved his hand, and Ye Feng bowed and retreated. Jiang Ruan looked up, Xiao Shao sat down opposite her, looked at her and said, "What's wrong?"

"I know you have many rare treasures in your hands. Have you ever seen a panacea that can make a disfigured person look like the original one? Not only that, but also become more... attractive?" Jiang Ruan got straight to the point. 

There are so many strange things about Jiang Susu. Only by looking at her appearance, it is already suspicious. The face that was scratched by the thorn bush has no scars now, and Jiang Ruan saw clearly that day that Jiang Susu did not wipe her face with makeup. If it is said that there is a panacea, it is almost right. 

But Jiang Susu's gestures are completely different from before, which is even more strange. Xiao Shao has many talented people under him, and he is knowledgeable. Maybe he has some clues.

Xiao Shao stared at Jiang Ruan, and after a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Jiang Ruan was stunned: "What is it?"

"A secret technique," Xiao Shao replied: "The Dongyi Kingdom worships sorcerers. There is a secret technique called 'Thousand Faces Charm Technique'. The situation you described is likely to be a practice of this secret technique."

Jiang Ruan's heart sank: "Dongyi?"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Shao frowned and asked, "Do you have such a person around you?"

"I want to ask Prince Xiao, what do people who practice this secret technique need to do? What price do they pay? For example, blood?" Jiang Ruan asked.

"Not necessarily. Dongyi worships secret techniques, there are many sorcerers, and there are many kinds of secret techniques. 'Thousand Faces Charm Technique' is just as its name suggests. Different people use it and pay different prices." 

"Generally speaking, secret techniques are actually a kind of medicine. The deeper the fusion of medicine and people, the better the effect and the greater the price. People who practice this kind of charm behave differently from ordinary people. Some people need to supplement some blood or other medicines. But it is not certain." Xiao Shao answered quickly.

Jiang Ruan's brows gradually frowned. If she had only three points of suspicion before, now the suspicion has become seven points. Jiang Susu's behaviour is unusual, and her face is so smooth and white, which is indeed somewhat similar to the secret technique mentioned by Xiao Shao. But how could she be related to the Dongyi Kingdom? The more she thinks about it, the more confused she is.

Xiao Shao saw Jiang Ruan's frowning face, and naturally he began to think about it. The Dongyi people seem to be brewing a huge conspiracy, and Jiang Ruan never asks about meaningless things. She asked that just now, it must be that someone who looks like a magic practitioner appeared around her. If it's true, they can start from here.
