Chapter 48 Disguise
Chapter 48 Disguise
Chaolu packed all the things she was going to take away into her bag.
She took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead, then asked worriedly, "Ah Ci, do you think Xiao Liulang is trustworthy?"
Yan Ciwan did not answer. She took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a heart-replenishing pill from it, and said.
"Alu, come and take a look at this pill. What disease does it cure?"
Chaolu walked over, took the pill, sniffed it closely, then scraped off a little powder with her fingernails and put it in her mouth to taste it.
"There are many medicinal herbs that warm the body, and some that relieve toxicity. The ratio of each herb is just right. It must have been made by a famous doctor. Where did you get this pill?" As a doctor, Chaolu was very interested in the person who made this pill.
Outsiders only knew that Xiao Wang was suffering from a terminal illness, and did not know that he was actually poisoned. This shows that the Xiao family concealed the fact that Xiao Wang was poisoned very well.
Since the Xiao family doesn't want outsiders to know about this, Yan Ciwan naturally wouldn't talk about it to outsiders casually.
So she just replied vaguely.
"I bought it from a quack doctor and planned to use it to recuperate."
Chaolu said hurriedly: "This medicine cannot be used carelessly. It is mainly used to treat poisoning. It is harmful to injuries like yours. Don't believe the nonsense of that quack doctor!"
Yan Ciwan nodded in response: "Yes, I understand."
It seems that Xiao Wang did not lie, he was indeed poisoned, and he used this medicine to prolong his life.
The fact that he dared to give her his life-saving medicine for safekeeping showed his sincerity.
So Yan Ciwan said to Chaolu.
"If Xiao Liulang had ill intentions towards us, he wouldn't have helped us lure away the detectives, and there would be no need for him to go through so much trouble to deal with us. Let's just trust him for once."
Chaolu blinked, not understanding why the topic suddenly jumped from elixir to Xiao Wang?
But since Ning Ci said so, Chao Lu temporarily put aside her doubts about Xiao Wang.
Anyway, they are now surrounded by enemies on all sides and have no better choice than to trust Xiao Wang.
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door.
Chaolu ran over to open the door and found two people standing outside, Li Chengge and his follower.
Li Chengge introduced: "This is my follower. He is here to help you two change your appearance. After he is done, go directly to the back door. My cousin and I will be waiting for you at the back door."
The middle-aged man walked into the bedroom carrying a bag and bowed to Chao Lu and Yan Ci Wan.
"My name is Cha Bingliang."
Li Chengge had no intention of staying any longer, so he brought the person back and turned away.
Looking at the strange man in front of her, Chaolu felt very resistant and uneasy.
Cha Bingliang put the bundle on the table, opened it and took out two sets of men's clothing. He said in a gentle voice, "Please change your clothes first and wait outside the door. When you are done, just call me."
After saying this, he walked out, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
Chaolu picked up the two sets of clothes and walked in front of Yan Ciwan.
"Let me help you change first."
"Ah."
Yan Ciwan was seriously injured and unable to move, so she needed Chaolu's help to change her clothes.
This was a very ordinary gray-green round-necked robe. It was a little too wide for Yan Ciwan, but fortunately she was tall enough so it didn't look out of place on her.
She looked at Chaolu changing her clothes slowly and suddenly spoke.
"Actually, you don't have to be afraid. That Cha Bingliang won't hurt you."
Chaolu paused while tying her belt. She knew that Cha Bingliang was not a bad guy, but she couldn't control her emotions. Whenever she saw an adult man, she would remember the horrific experience of being almost raped.
Chaolu lowered her head and fastened her belt, saying sullenly.
"I know it's not right for me to do this, and I will correct it, but it will take me some time."
The sleeves of her dress were too long, so Yan Ciwan walked over and helped her roll up the cuffs twice, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, there's still a long time to go. When you meet a lot of good people in the future, you will naturally forget about those bad things."
Zhaolu looked at the neatly arranged cuffs and nodded obediently: "Yes."
Yan Ciwan called out to the door.
"Uncle Liang, we are ready."
The door was pushed open and Cha Bingliang walked in. He said respectfully, "I am a servant, Madam Ning, just call me by my name."
Yan Ciwan smiled and said, "Uncle Liang, there's no need to be so modest. I'll have to trouble you from now on."
Cha Bingliang rolled up his sleeves, took out the tools needed for makeup from his bag, and asked.
"Who will come first?"
Yan Ciwan knew that Zhaolu had a knot in her heart, so she took the initiative to recommend herself: "I'll go first."
"it is good."
Yan Ciwan sat in the chair and let Cha Bingliang do what he wanted to her face.
Because the two were very close, Yan Ciwan smelled a strange smell on Cha Bingliang.
The smell was very familiar to her. She had smelled it on the eunuchs who served her closely in the Xizhou Palace before. Later she learned that the eunuchs had a peculiar smell on their bodies due to castration. In order to avoid disgusting the nobles, they would apply a special ointment on their bodies that could suppress the peculiar smell.
At this moment, the strange smell that Yan Ciwan smelled on Cha Bingliang came from that ointment.
She observed Cha Bingliang calmly. He looked to be in his forties. Normally, men of his age would like to grow beards, but his face was clean without any beard at all.
Cha Bingliang's makeup skills are very sophisticated.
After his transformation, Yan Ciwan changed from a beautiful young girl with bright eyes and white teeth into a sickly boy with a sallow complexion.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and found that not only her facial features had changed drastically, but even her facial contours had changed.
Even if someone who is very familiar with her stood here at this moment, he might not be able to recognize her.
She sincerely praised: "Uncle Liang is born with a pair of skillful hands!"
After Yan Ciwan finishes putting on her makeup, it is Chaolu's turn.
Yan Ci Wan looked at Chao Lu and saw that she looked uneasy. He knew that she was still resisting in her heart, so he pulled her a few steps to the side, then leaned close to Chao Lu's ear and whispered his guess.
After hearing this, Chaolu was startled at first, and then looked at Cha Bingliang.
At this moment, Cha Bingliang was organizing his makeup tools and did not notice the little movements between Yan Ciwan and Chaolu.
Chaolu couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? Are you sure?"
In fact, Yan Ci Wan didn't like to talk about other people's private affairs behind their backs. Now, in order to appease Chao Lu's emotions and prevent her from resisting Cha Bingliang too much, Yan Ci Wan had no choice but to be a gossiper.
"Although I don't have any evidence, it should be pretty close."
Chaolu couldn't help but go to see Cha Bingliang again.
Yan Ciwan warned: "Just listen to this matter, don't tell him about it, and don't tell anyone else."
Many people are prejudiced against eunuchs, but in the final analysis, eunuchs are just a group of miserable people. If there is still a little hope in life, who would be willing to be a disabled person?
Zhaolu immediately retracted her gaze and nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"
