C54 Chapter 54

Even though Rani Yi had also stepped forward to suppress Jiegeng and Duan Shuang, this matter still inevitably spread like wildfire.

Originally, Zhen'an King did not marry for many years and everyone gradually thought that he was a good man who could sweep away all obstacles. Now that Jiegeng appeared, the rumors in the streets broke by themselves. Many of the ladies had different thoughts because of this.

"Jiegeng, you are here." Bai Lan had been waiting here for a long time.

"Sorry, Brother Bai Lan, you came so late." When Jiegeng arrived at the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy, it was already the afternoon of the same day.

Bai Lan looked at Qi, who was beside him, with doubt.

"Aunt assigned this to me to protect my safety because something happened earlier..." Jiegeng briefly brought it over. "Qi, wait at the door."

Qi nodded and closed the door for them when she went out.

"Brother Bai Lan, you said in the letter that Ghost Doctor wanted to see me. What is going on? I don't know him at all."

"This Ghost Doctor rose to fame after the patriarch moved into seclusion. I have secretly investigated him before. He has many medical prescriptions that are similar to the techniques passed down in the Bai family." Bai Lan's expression was somewhat serious.

"Then is it possible that he is the descendant of a branch of the Bai family?" Jiegeng made a reasonable guess.

"Impossible. The pharmacy he uses has always only been passed down to the direct line of descent. Furthermore, it is obvious that his medicine room is lacking." Bai Lan immediately took out some of the medicinal formulas that he had secretly collected from Ghost Doctor and passed them to Jiegeng.

"I do not know much about the formulas. Take a look."

Jiegeng immediately started to read. The first few formulas were very common, but the last two had attracted Jiegeng's attention.

"This is!" Jiegeng could not help but exclaim.

"What is it?" Bai Lan frowned.

The ratio of these two medicinal formulas was similar to what was recorded in the Bai's Medical Scripture. Could it be that his grandfather's disappearance was related to this Ghost Doctor?

"Brother Bai Lan, do you know about the Bai's Medical Scripture book?" Jiegeng asked probingly.

Bai Lan's face suddenly turned pale. His hands excitedly pressed on Jiegeng's shoulders. "How did you know?"

Jiegeng did not expect Bai Lan's reaction to be so huge. She was a little scared.

Bai Lan realized that he had lost control of himself and let go of Jiegeng. "The Bai's Medical Scripture is something only the previous family heads can learn. It contains the prescription. It is the glory of the Bai family, and also the crime of the Bai family. Did the family head pass this book to you? "

Jiegeng shook her head. "After grandfather went missing, I found it in grandfather's secret compartment."

"Did you hide this book well?" Bai Lan asked anxiously.

Jiegeng nodded her head like a rattle-drum.

Bai Lan let out a light sigh. "I didn't dare to tell you before, but now I'm sure. The disappearance of the family head had a lot to do with this book. When you suddenly asked this question, did you notice anything? " Bai Lan immediately picked up the stack of medicinal formulas and shook them.

Jiegeng took out the last two of the medicinal formulas. "These two should be from the Bai's Medical Scripture. From the looks of it, Ghost Doctor's target should be the Bai's Medical Scripture. Could he be the one who kidnapped grandpa? He couldn't get the Bai's Medical Scripture from my grandfather, so he turned around to look for me?"

" From the looks of it, this is the most reasonable assumption. " Bai Lan tightly gripped the remaining medicinal formula.

"Since that's the case, I want to see this Ghost Doctor." Jiegeng's eyes were now incomparably firm.

"No, this man is too dangerous. I can't let you take the risk. Jiegeng, this is what I should do. You don't need to force the matter of the family onto yourself. This time, you must not act recklessly. " Bai Lan rejected Jiegeng's suggestion.

"The one missing is my grandfather! Can I ignore it? Besides, I am Ghost Doctor's target now. " Jiegeng pointed out the key point. "Only I can directly spy on him. Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative to attack. If the person who tried to assassinate me was really them, then I will avoid them. They will definitely continue to assassinate me."

Bai Lan suddenly felt powerless. He thought that he could protect his cousin with the secret force that he had painstakingly built up over the past few years, but he had done nothing many times when she was in danger.

"By the way, I have found out that your assassin in the Daughter's Festival was Lau Yunyan. The second group of assassins is well-trained. It should have nothing to do with her. However, there is still no clue."

"It's her again!" Jiegeng instantly became furious.

"Don't worry, I will punish her properly. As for Ghost Doctor's matter, you better inform Zhen'an King. When it comes to the power of the Jianghu, you naturally don't need to borrow his power. However, this is the capital, and the imperial authority is the greatest guarantee."

" I understand. " Jiegeng agreed.

After leaving the medicine hall, footboy went to find Jiegeng.

"Miss Bai, do you mind not talking?" footboy asked eagerly.

Qi was the first to stop footboy from rushing over.

"Miss, I am from Zhen'an King's Mansion." footboy was inexplicably anxious and quickly introduced himself.

"Qi." Jiegeng called out and Qi retreated behind Jiegeng.

Footboy immediately led Jiegeng to a quiet place by the side of the street. Qi naturally did not take a step away and followed closely behind.

"Miss, I am here to convey the order for His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness invites Miss to have dinner tonight at Wangjiang Restaurant's A-grade room. Miss, please attend the banquet. " footboy looks around for a while before slowly saying.

After giving out this news, footboy immediately left.

Duan Shuang invited me to dinner?

"Miss Biao, you can't go. Be careful of any tricks." Qi saw footboy's sneaky expression and thought there must be something fishy going on. "Furthermore, the Princess has ordered that Miss is not allowed to approach Zhen'an King."

"I originally wanted to talk to Zhen'an King about my grandfather. I just got some important news from my brother." Jiegeng blinked her eyes.

Qi also started to feel awkward.

"Just follow me. You should be relieved now." Jiegeng also did not want to make things difficult for Qi.

Qi then quietly retreated to the side.

When Jiegeng arrived at the agreed location, she found that there was no one inside. However, there was a sumptuous meal on the table.

Qi quietly waited outside the door, guarding against anything.

Jiegeng sat quietly in the room, the incense burner slowly burning with the fragrance.

"Where did this servant girl come from? Get out of my way." A profligate son appeared outside the A-grade door and was about to enter but was stopped by Qi.

Qi's eyes revealed killing intent.

That profligate scion saw that this arrogant maid actually did not have the slightest intention of backing down and could not help but be furious. He raised a hand and was about to teach this servant girl a lesson when a person stopped him from behind.

"That bastard grandson! To think that he would dare to touch Yours Truly!" That person started cursing.

The people behind her were getting more and more aggressive. Qi saw this and bowed respectfully.

The hedonistic brat turned around and was instantly scared out of his wits.

"Wang... Zhen'an King!"
