Liu Ruyan was shocked. The so-called ghost belly literally means a baby born by a female ghost, but it is actually a baby born after a mother has given up her life, and is considered an unlucky person.

"Bai's parents were drug dealers. Unfortunately, they were affected by the war. My mother was already dying when she was sent to Yizhuang. She died not long after. At that time, the adoptive father saw that there were still fetal movements in the belly of the female body, so he immediately took scissors and gauze.

, hugged me out."

He seemed to think of the lonely old man, and his face showed a hint of nostalgia.

"I have been with corpses since I was a child, and I was born to be sensitive to smells. I was able to master the martial arts skills taught by my adoptive father, until..." As he spoke, his voice became harder and harder, "Until that day, I was sent to the charity village.

A batch of corpses came, and I went to see them at that time. They were smallpox."

"Not long after, my adoptive father also contracted smallpox. He hid alone in a small and dilapidated room waiting to die." Bai Zhi lowered her eyes, and the fingers folded in her sleeves trembled slightly.

"Bai went to all the medical clinics and tried countless prescriptions, but he could only watch helplessly as he became thinner and thinner. He couldn't be saved, and his adoptive father couldn't be saved..."

A medicine is hard to find, and a thousand pieces of gold are hard to find.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi had such an experience before she became famous in the Xinglin world, Liu Ruyan thought quietly.

A thin young man seemed to appear in front of his eyes. He stayed up all night to read, rummaged through ancient and modern medical books, brewed a bowl of medicinal soup, and brought it to the dying old man.

Day after day, until the end, the white lantern was crumbling in the Yizhuang filled with putrid smell, and only the young man was left under the light.

Alone, with corpses for company.

She pursed her lips and said after a while: "My condolences."

"Everything is over." Bai Zhi said sadly, "Fortunately, Bai was lucky enough to visit Yaowang Valley and learn the art of Qihuang, so that everyone can avoid the pain of illness."

Time seems to have returned to Taiping Village. In the village where the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, Bai Zhi, dressed in green clothes like bamboo, is sitting in the tent, accompanied by the sound of grinding medicine, writing down a set of prescriptions.

"You suddenly asked about the autopsy. Could it be that you have some plans?"

Liu Ruyan straightened up and said seriously: "If a person has been seriously injured before death and is burned with fire and oil, can the injury be found out after being burned again?"

"Since it was a serious injury, the only way to do it was to examine the bones." He said bluntly, "Do you suspect that besides cutting off the meridians, they also suffered other injuries?"

Liu Ruyan lowered her voice: "On that day in Liujiazhuang, Uncle Quan was the only one who died in the ancestral hall. Judging from his posture, he was different from others. It didn't look like his hand tendons and hamstrings had been severed, but he looked like he had been tortured."

She paused slightly: "Uncle Quan's skills are far superior to ours. Looking across the world, he rarely encounters opponents."

Except for Shen Yanchu, who was a master, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could defeat Liu Hanquan.

If they were outnumbered, why could no one of the dozens of people in Liujiazhuang escape alive?

All died on the spot.

If the traces left by the murderer can be found through the bone examination, it will also be able to prove the fact that their Liujiazhuang was massacred. She has a right to redress injustice and revenge.

The Liu family will not bear the crime of treason.

"Tell me your plan." Shen Yanchu sat at the table and tapped the wooden case with his fingers.

She clarified her thoughts and spoke slowly: "The batch of charred corpses transported from Liujiazhuang are already at Dali Temple. When the case is settled, they will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for review and approval. I will ask the Holy One to take back the decree before they are convicted."

"This picture is Jinyang City. The imperial city is in the south and controls the country and the country; the palace city is in the north and serves as the emperor's palace." She took out a previously drawn city map and laid it out on the table, and traced it with her fingertips.

A palace, "This is Dali Temple."

The Dali Temple is in charge of criminal and prison cases in various places. All serious and suspicious cases are jointly tried by the Dali Temple Minister, the Minister of Punishment and the Censor Zhongcheng.

She moved her finger lightly and pointed to a place: "I will disguise you two as petty officials. Then you can sneak into Dali Temple and find the autopsy room."

She moved her finger and pointed to another place: "The Daming Palace is the palace of the Han Emperor. There are three imperial guards taking turns to guard it. During their changing of guard, I sneaked into the emperor's palace and left a motto."

"Based on your skills like this?" Shen Yanchu interrupted her.

Liu Ruyan raised her eyelashes slightly: "Don't forget, as a scout, I am best at spying."

"Don't forget, now you have lost all your inner strength."

Liu Ruyan was speechless.

Just as he was about to retort, Shen Yanchu said first: "You and Bai Zhi go to Dali Temple, and I will go alone to meet the Emperor's palace."

Using his finger as a blade, he divided the drawing into two halves. This move was seen by Liu Ruyan, so was he helping her?

In the beginning, she asked the devil to be her follower, just as she said casually, but these days, Shen Yanchu's care for her is like moisturizing things silently, without deliberateness, without flattery, with innate naturalness and kindness. random.

Liu Ruyan looked at him and opened her lips.

"Thank you", she said softly.

Shen Yanchu frowned, sat under the candlelight, and asked, "Why don't you change my clothes for me?"

Only then did Liu Ruyan remember that she and Bai Zhi could sneak into Dali Temple by changing clothes, but the emperor's palace was different and was heavily guarded.

Therefore, she needed to disguise Shen Yanchu as the chamberlain around the Han Emperor - Eunuch Chang.

Glancing at Shen Yanchu, who looked like a celestial being, he suddenly felt that he was a bit reluctant to dress him up as a eunuch.

"Why don't you do it yet?" He closed his eyes and raised his head slightly.

Liu Ruyan gathered her thoughts and walked to stand in front of him.

First, a layer of powder makeup was evenly applied on his face. His already fair skin now had a faint glow.

She kept moving her hands and took out another box of lipstick. She dipped her fingertips in carmine, lightly swept it across the end of her eyes, and then spread it on her lips.

With a slight chill on his fingertips, Shen Yanchu frowned subconsciously.

He didn't like being touched by others, but maybe it was the time spent together day and night that made him feel at ease, and he didn't feel as disgusted as he imagined.

Liu Ruyan stared at him, and under her fingertips, there was a smooth touch, like petals that could not bear the spring breeze.

Extremely soft, extremely soft, with a bit of bewitching meaning...

The hand paused at this moment.

"Why not do it?" Shen Yanchu's voice was lazy.

His already stern eyebrows revealed a trace of amorous feelings inadvertently the moment he opened his eyes.

Liu Ruyan looked at him, her heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

I knew that this guy was extremely well-born and had a delicate face. Even a woman couldn't help but be envious of him.

But his innate dignity makes people feel unattainable and out of reach. His eyes are even colder, with an attitude of arrogantly looking at all things, unlike now, where the corners of his eyebrows are full of charm.

Apply a little pink and white, and look enchanting.

If Shen Yan, dressed in white, was handsome when he first appeared in the world, now he is as attractive as a demon. It is said that all the romantic men in the Wei and Jin Dynasties are very feminine, so it must be this appearance.

Shen Yanchu was still concentrating on himself, his eyes painted with rouge squinting at Liu Ruyan who was applying makeup for him.

A touch of red between the eyebrows is the "joy" among the seven emotions.

"So what are you happy about?" he asked coldly.

Liu Ruyan's face changed slightly.

She gathered her thoughts and deliberately made a serious face to him: "Don't move, the makeup is not done yet."

Knowing that he was not going to admit it, Shen Yanchu didn't ask further questions, closed his eyes and let her play around.

After finishing the makeup, Liu Ruyan took out tweezers, hair and other objects from the box one after another, followed her memory, and transformed the face in her hand into Eunuch Chang's appearance.

The body shape of Eunuch Chang, the chamberlain, is very similar to that of Shen Yanchu. After her transformation, at first glance, there is nothing unusual about it.

Nearby, Bai Zhi watched helplessly as Shen Yanchu changed his appearance, until he put on the clothes of a chamberlain, and he looked like a different person.

"Don't speak when you meet others in the palace," she warned.
