Chapter 196 Before setting out to find the five artifacts
Chi Heng used the face-changing technique on Gu Liuxi, which changed her original appearance and turned her into another woman who even looked very strange to him. That face was extremely ordinary and could not be found in the crowd.
The kind that came out, but it just suited her needs.
In this way, even if she went out openly, no one would recognize her. Even she almost didn't recognize herself, let alone others.
The two of them appeared in the city disguised as a brother and sister, asking for news.
The best place to get information was not a brothel, but a restaurant. The two chose a restaurant and ordered some ordinary dishes.
Gu Liuxi deliberately walked several times in front of the shopkeeper of Xinyue Building, but the shopkeeper didn't react at all. Gu Liuxi knew that the face-changing technique was very successful.
Face-changing surgery is to change the shape of a person's face. It is somewhat similar to Korean plastic surgery. It completely changes a person's original appearance. However, face-changing surgery has a time limit and can only last for twelve hours at a time.
In other words, the face-changing technique that Chi Heng cast on her could only last for one day. Once the time passed, she would automatically return to her original appearance.
There are a lot of people in the restaurant, so naturally there are a lot of gossips.
As soon as Gu Liuxi and Chi Heng sat down, several groups of people were already talking about the palace, but most of them were talking about the registration of the Seventh Prince.
At this time, a few more people who were buying and selling came to the table next to them. From the look of their clothes, it was obvious that they were business people.
"Have you heard that the new emperor ascended the throne yesterday and announced the identity of the queen on the same day. I heard that this queen is also the second lady of General Gu's mansion..."
"I heard you right! Why isn't she the third lady? I heard that the third lady Gu Yanshi is not only outstanding in appearance and ability, but also has both civil and military skills. This emperor is really strange. Why did he make that good-for-nothing from the Gu family the queen?"
"That's right! When the father-in-law announced it, even General Gu himself was dumbfounded! He also had the imperial edict read out repeatedly. Not only General Gu was stunned, but the ministers were also stunned. But I heard that the second Miss Gu was in the Gu family before
The eldest lady disappeared after her death. Even the people in the general's palace couldn't find her, so it was not announced. However, many people knew about it. It was said that the new emperor himself wanted to make the second lady of the Gu family his queen...
"
"There is such a thing..."
Hearing the conversation between them, Gu Liuxi's jaw almost dropped to the floor, and she overturned the tea in her overreaction.
"Ouch! It's so hot..."
Chi Heng quickly got something to wipe her dry, "Are you okay? Why are you so careless?"
"It's okay, it's okay..." Gu Liuxi covered her red hand.
Chi Heng stood up with a deep expression on his face, and forcefully pulled her hand out, causing the entire back of her hand to turn red.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little bit burnt."
"It's nothing, you!" Chi Heng sighed deeply, took out a piece of silk and wrapped it in her hand.
The people at the table next to them just glanced at Gu Liuxi and the others and chatted as if nothing had happened.
Gu Liuxi could only stick out her tongue playfully at Chi Heng.
Chi Heng couldn't do anything to her, this guy...
Suddenly a group of officers and soldiers broke in and took a portrait and asked each guest one by one. Gu Liuxi was curious about who was painted in the painting.
Finally arriving at their table, the man spread the portrait in front of her and said in a rough voice: "Have you two seen this person?"
"Who is that person?" Gu Liuxi leaned over and took a look, and almost couldn't help it. The person in the painting was actually herself, just in men's clothing.
Gu Liuxi cleared her throat and said, "My lord, may I ask who the person in this painting is?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Have you ever seen him before?"
Gu Liuxi shook her head hurriedly, "We have never seen this person before."
"If you see this person, you must let him know if you know him."
"Yes...yes...it's the official. If I see him, I'll let you know immediately."
The official put away the scroll and went to other tables to ask questions.
Gu Liuxi and Chi Heng looked at each other and nodded knowingly.
Chi Heng put the money on the table and said, "The waiter pays the bill."
After the check came out, Gu Liuxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Heng looked at Gu Liuxi and asked: "What should we do now? The whole city is searching for you. It seems that the Seventh Prince will not let you go."
In fact, she was really shocked when she heard that Lanshan Yucha had named her queen. She thought that he would act like this just to give her an unexpected surprise.
The Seventh Prince had always thought that she liked him! Unfortunately, she was no longer the Gu Liuxi she had been before, and there was no way she could be his queen. If it were the previous Gu Liuxi, she would definitely be very happy, but she is not at all happy now.
Can't be happy.
"Chizi, didn't you say you were going to find the Five Sacred Tools to go back and save your people? Then let's go find the Five Sacred Tools first!" She also wanted to find the Witch Stone, which means the Five Sacred Tools, to go back and save the people of the Witch Clan.
Although the old men have not given her any news so far, since she has promised to others, she will definitely do it. Moreover, she now occupies the body of the second young lady of the Gu family, and the owner of her body is very likely to do so.
Since she is the reincarnation of the Holy Girl of the Witch Clan, she should be bound to save the Witch Clan from suffering and let them see the light again.
"Aren't you going to continue investigating Gu Xiyan's death?" Chi Heng asked suddenly. He was also very happy to go with Gu Liuxi to find the five artifacts, but didn't she have a mission? Although it was very difficult to find the five artifacts,
It was important, but he didn't want to waste Gu Liuxi's time.
Gu Liuxi shook his head, "Even if I can't do anything here, why not find the five artifacts first and then come back, not to mention that the Seventh Prince already knows my identity, and I don't know if Gu Yanshi will know that I killed her.
Gu Yanshi will definitely hate me to the core of her spirit snake. I can’t confront her head-on until I lose my ability. Only by finding the five artifacts can I increase my power. By then, I think she, Gu Yanshi, is still so majestic.
Where to go, instead of staying here, it is better to find the five artifacts, not to mention the Seventh Prince, who sent people everywhere to look for me. This face-changing technique is fine if you use it for a day or two, but it will not be good for you if you use it for a long time..."
Chi Heng agreed with Gu Liuxi's point of view, "In that case, let's go find the five artifacts first! I heard that there is an divine sword among the five artifacts, let's go find that sword first! I once asked about the divine sword.
According to the news, I heard that the Divine Sword appeared a hundred years ago. Although I don’t know if it is true, why not let’s follow this news to find it!”
"Okay! If there are rumors, it must have happened, otherwise those rumors wouldn't have spread."
The two of them made up their minds and prepared to leave Cangdu.
However, before leaving, Gu Liuxi wanted to go somewhere.
Of course the place Gu Liuxi wanted to go to was General Gu's Mansion. The Fifth Madam treated her as if she had already left. It was really unfilial for her to not have time to go back and see the Fifth Madam after she had been back for so long.
Before leaving, I decided to go back and see how she was doing, so that she would feel relieved.
She sneaked into the general's mansion quietly and was about to go to the fifth lady's yard when she heard two people talking on the way. She and Chi Heng stopped together and hid in the dark, wanting to hear what they were talking about.
"Fourth sister, have you heard? I heard that the new emperor actually made that good-for-nothing Gu Liuxi his queen. It's really ridiculous. Daddy originally made a deal with the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince agreed to make Gu Yanshi the queen, but he didn't expect what happened next.
It actually made me laugh to death that she was replaced by that loser Gu Liuxi. I didn’t expect that Gu Yanshi would also be slapped in the face... Sister, you don’t know, I saw her expression this morning, and I couldn’t help but feel so happy...
"The speaker was wearing yellow clothes. It was Gu Liuli, Miss Gu Jiawu. He had fought with her before, so Gu Liuxi naturally knew her.
"Fifth sister, the fun is yet to come! Now that the eldest sister is gone, and that good-for-nothing Gu Liuxi has also disappeared, let's see how long Gu Yanshi can still be so majestic." The woman flipped a handful of her hair and said resentfully: "Eh...I
I originally thought that after the death of my eldest sister, I would be able to live as the crown prince, but I didn’t expect that the crown prince would be so useless. Not only was he robbed of the throne, but now there is no trace of him. Hey... I should have known that the emperor would be the seventh prince.
, I should have gotten along well with the Seventh Prince back then."
Gu Liuli's vicious eyes flickered: "Fourth sister, it's not too late! Don't you want to be the queen? Now that good-for-nothing Gu Liuxi is not here. She probably died somewhere. There is absolutely no way she will come back.
Now, when the time comes, don’t you ask dad to talk to the emperor for you and ask him to make you his queen instead?”
But the fourth young lady, Gu Qingya, smiled and said: "Sister! Why would daddy speak for me? He would also mention Gu Yanshi! It's not even my turn in the queue!"
Gu Liuli suddenly and mysteriously approached Gu Qingya's ear and whispered: "If the fourth sister exposes how Gu Yanshi killed the eldest sister and ruins her reputation, then the position of queen will not belong to her.
Is it something you want? When the time comes, who is qualified to snatch it from you, sister?"
Gu Qingya was very happy after hearing this, "That's true. Gu Yanshi thought she had killed someone without being noticed, but she didn't expect that I saw her throw her eldest sister's body behind her that night.
Outside the mountain gate, Gu Liuxi is really pitiful, but he has become the scapegoat."
"you do not say!"
The laughter of the two people was particularly harsh in Gu Liuxi's ears. Her hearing had become particularly good since drinking snake blood. She could hear what Gu Yanshi and Gu Qingya said word for word.
I originally thought that Gu Yanshi was already the most vicious, but I didn't expect that these two young ladies were so vicious, and the fourth lady, whom I had never met before, didn't even know that she was not the murderer of Gu Xiyan.
He came out to testify for her, but looked on coldly and watched her jokes.
These women are really disgusting.
