The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen searched around but couldn't find any useful clues?

He immediately went to six places.

"Lao Meng, do you dare to drink secretly while on duty?"

Ning Chen looked at the red-faced Meng Jian and said with a smile.

Meng Jianbai saluted hurriedly!

"Your Majesty, I misunderstood. I didn't drink secretly. I just prepared a medicine according to an ancient recipe and tried some myself... This medicine is supposed to treat coughs. Maybe I didn't use the right amount of medicine, but it actually caused aphrodisiac effects." effect.”

"Huh?" Ning Chen looked at him with a strange expression, "Should I take you to the Jiaofang Department?"

"No, no, no... I only took a little, so I can control myself!"

Meng Jianbai changed the topic and asked, "Do you have a problem with me, Your Majesty?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Lao Meng, I just want to ask... is there any way to turn one person into another person?"

Meng Jianbai asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "For example, if you turn me into you, I will have the same appearance as you, but a different personality."

Meng Jianbai smiled and said: "Of course I have it, the art of disguise."

Ning Chen shook his head, "It's not the art of disguise... No matter how good the art of disguise is, it's impossible to completely replicate another person's appearance."

Meng Jianbai thought for a moment, "Then it can only be a face-changing technique."

"The art of changing one's appearance?"

Meng Jianbai said: "Just by using a knife on the face and breaking the bones... you can turn one person into another person."

"However, the art of face-changing is not without limitations. For example, if you, the prince, become me, the two of us must be similar in height, body shape, facial features, and at least somewhat similar in appearance."

"The risk of face-changing is extremely high. There are not many people in the world who practice face-changing...the best among them is the ghost doctor."

Ning Chen looked surprised. Plastic surgery already exists in this world?

"Lao Meng, who is the ghost doctor you are talking about?"

Meng Jianbai said: "The Zisu girl next to this prince should know better than me."

"What's the meaning?"

"The ghost doctor is as famous as Ms. Zisu's master, Mr. Shanglu. Mr. Shanglu hangs a pot to help the world and is respected as a medical fairy by the world. The ghost doctor is a sinister person. Although he has good medical skills, his actions are disgusting and he is called a ghost by the world. medical."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, and when he was about to ask more questions, he found that Meng Jian's old face was congested with blood and his eyes were red.

"Uh...are you sure you don't need to go to the Jiaofang Department?"

Meng Jianbai shook his head: "I didn't expect this medicine to be so effective... It's too late to go to the Jiaofang Division."

Ning Chen took a few steps back warily, "Then what should you do?"

"My lord, forgive me, but could you please go out and stay for a while?"

Ning Chen's lips twitched, "I don't have anything else to do. You go to work first. I'll bring you two jars of good wine later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Chen nodded, exited the room, and closed the door behind him.

He stood at the door and listened, his expression gradually becoming weird.

Meng Jianbai not only has excellent medical skills, but is also a craftsman.

Ning Chen turned and left.

He rode his beloved Diao Chan back to Ning Mansion.

He sent Dai Ziyi, who was appointed by Emperor Xuan, to prison. The next step was to see Emperor Xuan's reaction.

When I got home, I didn't expect the eldest prince to come.

"When did you come?"

The eldest prince said: "I came here in the afternoon and have been waiting for you until now."

Ning Chen walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, drank it, and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Ning Chen, I think something is wrong with my father."

Ning Chen glanced at him, "What's wrong?"

"I always feel that my father has been acting strange recently."

"What's wrong?"

The eldest prince said: "Father has not scolded me for a long time."

Ning Chen's expression froze slightly, and he looked at him strangely.

The eldest prince smiled bitterly, "Don't look at me like this. In the past, my father would summon me every day to test my knowledge... But recently, let alone scolding me, my father has not summoned me for more than ten days."

"I've been there several times, but I haven't seen my father."

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "His Majesty used to summon you every day?"

"Yeah... I used to be summoned every day and scolded three times a day. I'm used to being scolded. Now that they don't scold me suddenly, I feel like I'm not used to it."

"Do you think my father is sick?"

Ning Chen looked at him, "Have you ever thought that the current His Majesty is a fake?"

The eldest prince froze. He looked at Ning Chen with a pale face, "You...don't scare me. Is this a joke?"

Ning Chen looked serious, "What if I wasn't joking?"

The eldest prince looked at Ning Chen blankly, with goosebumps rising all over his body.

"Ning Chen, stop joking, this is impossible...How can I not know my father?"

"My father's current changes should be due to the fright he suffered from the previous assassination..." The eldest prince suddenly lowered his voice, "Maybe it is because my father is old and has signs of dementia."

Alzheimer's disease is Alzheimer's disease!

Ning Chen asked calmly: "Do you know the art of changing one's appearance?"

The eldest prince's expression changed, "I've heard of it."

The eldest prince's eyes suddenly widened, "Are you trying to say that someone turned into the likeness of my father through the art of face-changing?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

The eldest prince turned pale, "This...how is this possible?"

Ning Chen said: "Is it possible? We'll find out if we test it out?"

"You go to pay respects to His Majesty tomorrow. If he refuses to see you, then you go every day... After you meet him, test him with something unknown to outsiders to see how His Majesty reacts?"

The eldest prince said in panic, "What if it's true or false?"

"What else can we do? Save our father."

The eldest prince nodded repeatedly, "Then I will go to test him tomorrow."

"Don't be nervous, be natural. You have rebelled before, and you don't have this little bit of self-control. No wonder your rebellion failed?"

The eldest prince twitched his mouth, "I was forced to do it."

At this moment, Pan Yucheng came back.

The eldest prince said, "Ning Chen, I'll go back first!"

Ning Chen nodded, "Goodbye!"

After the eldest prince left, Ning Chen looked at Pan Yucheng.

Pan Yucheng said, "You really guessed it. We found a secret compartment in Chen Zhaohan's study and found a letter from it."

"What letter?"

Pan Yucheng hesitated for a moment and handed the letter to Ning Chen, "Read it yourself."

Ning Chen took the letter and opened it.

The handwriting on it made his eyes shrink suddenly. This was the handwriting of His Majesty.

There were only a few names on the letter.

Ning Chen was very familiar with these names. They were generals he promoted from the Weilong Army and the City Defense Army.

Pan Yucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You should recognize the handwriting on it, right?"

Ning Chen nodded.

Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice, "When I came back, I investigated... These people on the letter were recently dismissed for various reasons."

"Ning Chen, tell me the truth... Is it because you are so powerful that His Majesty started to take action against you?"

Ning Chen's eyes were cold, and he said word by word, "If it's true, His Majesty will not, but it's obvious that it's fake, and he wants to take away my power."

Pan Yucheng's eyes widened suddenly, shocked beyond words, "You, what do you mean by this?"
