Rebirth: Bai Xueyun's
25. The Mystery of Lian Yaoping

At night, Fengyan inns were quite crowded, but during the day it was quite quiet.

As soon as Bai Xueyun walked into the inn with Qing Yan, she saw a woman leaning against a pillar in the atrium.

Even though the woman was only wearing thin makeup, she was extremely beautiful. He slightly leaned against the pillar, flapping the silk fan in his hand gently.

When he saw Bai Xueyun and Qing Yan walking over, he stood up straight and said with a faint smile, "embress, you've returned?"

His voice was mesmerizing with a slightly elevated tone at the end, as if it was a magical spell that could captivate the soul of a man.

This woman was the owner of Fengyan, Ji Ruyue.

"Mrs Ji." Bai Xueyun nodded at him, her gaze clear, with no special emotions in it.

Ji Rutye covered her mouth with a silk fan and chuckled as she walked from the atrium gracefully. "the empress, this way. "

Inside the room, the aromatherapy white smoke swirled, and the entire room was filled with a faint fragrance.

Ji Ruyue took out a file from the locker and handed it to Bai Xueyun respectfully. "The Empress, all the information you requested is here."

Right, Ji Ruyue worked for prince Chen, and moreover, all the brothels on the west street belonged to prince Chen.

When Bai Xueyun learned that Chen was the secret owner of the western street brothel district she was very surprised for a long time. But in hindsight, he realized that it had really lived up to his expectations. After all, as a prince, Chen definitely had his own business.

The only thing that bothered Bai Xueyun was being surrounded by that sexy woman for so many years, did Chen manage to resist the temptation at all times, or did he ever get carried away by her sexual desires?

When Bai Xueyun found out that all the brothels on the west street belonged to Chen, she had realized that Chen's true purpose was not to make money, but to gather intel.

Every day, there were so many guests from all over the country entering and exiting the brothel. There was nothing simpler than a girl with an eloquent tongue using her charm to get information from those guests.

Therefore, Bai Xueyun asked Chen for help, who helped her investigate Lian Yaoping's story, especially the cases that Lian Yaoping had dealt with.

Bai Xueyun took the file in her hand and opened it to read page by page. The more he read, the harder he frowned.

“Lian Yaoping's case was never published. We can only find out some cases that had made a sensation in the capital at that time. As for how he treated the patient and what medications he was taking, there was no way to track him down. " Said Ji Ruyue. “In addition, I think someone has blocked the news about Lian Yaoping on purpose. His name as a doctor who produced miracles was widespread, but other than that, there was nothing to trace about him. "

As Ji Ruyue had just said, Bai Xueyun did not see anything useful in the file, but when she was about to close the file, her hand suddenly stopped.

“Lian Yaoping may still be alive?” Bai Xueyun was shocked when she saw the last line of text in the file.

Although Lian Yaoping was Bai Xueyun's grandfather, she died when the original owner of this body was only three years old, so the original owner of the body had no memory of her. After searching in Lian Yaoping's files, Bai Xueyun discovered she was more mysterious, as if she was covered in mist.

"Yes." Yeah." Ji Ruyue nodded. “I speculated so. Lian Yaoping died three days after the death of the late emperor. Before, there was not a single piece of news about him being sick or having an accident. He suddenly died for no reason. And all of Lian's family disappeared overnight. "

"Is that so?" Bai Xueyun began to ponder in silence.

It made sense that Lian Yue did not disappear along with the rest of the Lian family, as she had already been claimed to have died at that time. But how did Yuan Shu's medical book fall into Lian Yue's hands? And how did Zhuo Meimei find out that Lian Yue had the book?

Bai Xueyun felt that the mystery about Lian Yaoping became even greater.

He decided to put the matter aside now and asked Ji Ruyue, "What kind of person is on the main road?"

Compared to the West Road which only provided limited services, the fair and complete main Road was filled with a wide variety of people, so there was definitely a lot of power hovering over it. Since he was going to open a clinic on the main road, he had to know about the forces in the darkness.  

Furthermore, there were already people coming to him to look for trouble today, so he definitely needed to get to know the enemy and his potential threat.

“Hmm?” Bai Xueyun emphasized her tone and glanced at Ji Ruyue emotionlessly.

Ji Ruyue said, neither humble nor pushy, "prince Chen simply ordered me to give you information about Lian Yaoping."

What he meant was: empress Bai, you are not yet qualified to learn about other intel.

Bai Xueyun raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Ruyue, smiling in silence.

After a while, he got up and said emotionlessly, "Qing Yan, let's go back to the residence."

Qing Yqn glanced at Ji Ruyue as she turned around, frowning. Apparently, he did not approve of Ji Ruyue's behavior or attitude.

Dusk fell, and the wind blew over the artificial lake in the courtyard, dissipating the summer heat and bringing coolness.

The shadows of the trees danced in the wind, and the insects sang one after another.

The light of the candle was blown by the night wind, causing the shadows of people to sway on the ground.

Bai Xueyun was still reading the file she had brought back from the Fengyan Inn, which was only a few pages long, without too much information other than the few cases that had caused a sensation in the capital back then.

One was a general who returned to court after victory but was dying from severe injuries on the battlefield.

The other was a plague that had turned Anling City into a "city of death" within half a month, where no one had entered out alive.

With Lian Yaoping's treatment, the general recovered, and the plague became extinct.

Afterwards, Lian Yaoping became a renowned physician with high prestige in the Han empire as well as the director of the Imperial Hospital.

Bai Xueyun was so curious about Lian Yaoping that she wished she could immediately tear off Lian Yaoping's mysterious mask to see who she really was, and whether the medical skills of Yuan Shu recorded in the book were feasible.

Bai Xueyun tapped on the table with her fingers, and the sound she made mixed with the depths of the night.

Until someone knocked on the door, and Qing Yan's voice rang, "Empress ."

"Please come in." Bai Xueyun went out of her mind, maintaining a relaxed sitting posture.

Qing Yqn opened the door and stepped in. He handed some files to Bai Xueyun, who looked similar to the one on the table. Apparently, these files were from the Fengyan inn .

Bai Xueyun could guess what was inside, so she could not help but smile.

Sure enough, he heard Qing Yan's voice the next moment, “Prince Chen told me to get this file for you. The information about the troops on the main road and the people in charge of that troop were all here. Please see, empress . ”

“Leave them here. You can go rest now. ” Bai Xueyun had Qing Yan put those files on the table and waved her hand to tell her to leave.

But Qing Yan continued, "prince Chen also wants me to tell you that next time when you go to the Fengyan Inn, you can access any files without reporting to him."

Hearing that, Bai Xuryun could not help but laugh, his eyebrows raised, and his mood was happy.

"I understand. Please convey my thanks to prince Chen, ” Bai Xueyun said.

Qing Yan left after that.
