A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

“What shop?” Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying in confusion.

“Didn’t you tell me that someone was following you and that that person disappeared after entering the shop? That day, after you and Nanxing went to that shop, the shop closed.”

“Whether it’s the shopkeeper or the employees inside, they seem to have disappeared into thin air,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue frowned when she heard this. What was going on with this shop?

“Did you find anything else? Why did this shop close after we went? Is there any meaning to his actions?” The more Ning Yue thought about it, the more puzzled she became.

Could it be that the goal of that group of people was to let her go to the shop with Nan Xing? What was the point of doing this?

“I don’t know either. I plan to continue investigating.” Jiang Ying frowned tightly as he said this.

It was not easy to investigate that group of people. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air and disappeared into thin air. He wanted to investigate their source and where they had gone, but he couldn’t. He sent batches of people out, but they could not find out.

Suddenly, Ning Yue seemed to have thought of something. She asked Jiang Ying, “Jiang Ying, I have a question.”

“What?” Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue.

“How do you get a human skin mask? The last time Lian Xin pretended to be you, he was wearing it,” Ning Yue said.

She hadn’t thought anything of it when she met him previously, but now that she thought about it, it made her hair stand on end.

Could it be that the human skin mask was torn off someone?

“Legend has it that there’s a disguise expert. The masks he makes are very realistic. It can completely be faked.” In the end, Jiang Ying frowned again. “However, this legend happened a long time ago. This expert should have passed away long ago.”

“His death doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a successor. Just like the Miracle Doctor Valley that has generations of successors and apprentices. Even if his successor is inferior to him, that successor can at least learn a little, right?” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying nodded. That did make sense. “Why are you suddenly asking this?”

“I’m wondering if you can’t investigate those people because they’re wearing human skin masks. If that’s the case, are those people related to Lian Xin?” Ning Yue said again.

Jiang Ying suddenly fell silent. What Ning Yue said made sense. He only asked someone to send the portrait out to investigate.

If that group of people did not look like this at all, or if they were wearing masks, he would not be able to find out even if he investigated for the rest of his life.

“Why didn’t I think of this?! We wasted so much time for nothing. Perhaps that group of people has already run away.” At this point, Jiang Ying’s eyes widened again. He had investigated for a long time but couldn’t find Lian Xin’s whereabouts. Was it possible that Lian Xian had also left wearing a human skin mask?

“Ning Yue, I’ll go out for a while.” With that, Jiang Ying left before Ning Yue could answer.

He hurriedly entered the palace. Just as the emperor was about to sleep, he heard a guard at the entrance of the palace report that Jiang Ying wanted to see him.

Jiang Ying had never come to the palace to look for him in the middle of the night. Perhaps something big had happened. The emperor asked the guards to bring him in.

“What’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?” the emperor asked.

“Imperial Brother, I discovered a little problem.” He told the emperor what he had just discussed with Ning Yue in the Ning family.

The emperor’s eyes widened. “If the human skin mask gets out, it’ll be a threat to all countries.”

If the people of the Black City Kingdom went to the Great Yun Nation with the human skin mask and killed those important officials, then arranged for people to wear masks to pretend to be those important officials who had been killed, the entire Great Yun Nation would be in chaos.

“Yes, I was worried about that too,” Jiang Ying said.

“No, we have to investigate this matter thoroughly.” The emperor was very nervous.

The emperor was very worried. He was afraid that unknowingly, the Great Yun Nation would be infiltrated by the Black City Kingdom.
