Fragrant willow catkins

Seeing that he was no match for them, the high priest decisively gave up and said, "Stop! Stop! Young people, peace is the most important thing!"

Seeing his expression change immediately, the three men stopped. At this time, the villagers continued to move forward, and the high priest waved his hand to stop them, and the villagers stopped.

The high priest smiled and invited the three people into the house, "Please come in."

The four of them sat in the hut, and the high priest poured tea for the three of them. "Why... do you want to investigate what happened back then?"

Qingfeng took the teacup with both hands and said with a smile, "Didn't I just tell you that I want to treat my sister's eye disease?"

After handing the tea to Xiao Le, the high priest returned to the table, picked up the last cup of tea, walked to Dugu and handed it to her.

High Priest: “She?”

Qingfeng: "Yes."

High Priest: "She can see what you want me to heal?"

Dugu insisted on acting and fumbled for a long time before he finally received the teacup.

Qingfeng raised an eyebrow and signaled to the high priest, "My sister can't see."

Dugu was supported by the two of them throughout the journey and never opened his eyes.

The high priest rolled his eyes at him, thinking he was a three-year-old kid?

"She has divine power and can sense everything. Even if her eyes can't see, her heart can see."

Qingfeng: "You said you are not a doctor, but it is obvious from this."

The high priest returned to his seat, feeling overwhelmed. He was old and could not stand the beating around the bush. "What do you want to know? Just ask! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Le: "Then let's get it straight. What disease did Dong Huang ask you to treat Chu Xiangsi for?"

The high priest moved to the side, as if he didn't want to talk about it, then shook his head as if he felt it was ridiculous and sat forward in the chair. "That's not a cure! He asked me to replace someone's face!"

"Swap faces?!!!" The three of them were not calm, "Who swaps with whom?"

The high priest recalled that year, in order to protect the peace of the village, he took the initiative to go out of the mountains and follow the army to the capital to obey the orders of the Emperor Dong. That day he was taken to a bedroom and asked to replace the face of the princess on the bed with the maid Nian'er standing.

This matter was too risky. In order to save the lives of both men, the high priest was very cautious. The face-changing operation took several days before it was successful, after which he was sent back to the village.

The more Qingfeng listened, the more incredible it was. "Swapping the princess and the maid's faces, you weren't silenced for such a big thing?!"

Given Dong Huang's personality, he will not let him leave the capital safely.

The high priest laughed proudly and said, "I am a good storyteller! I said that the faces of those two people are linked to my divine power. If my divine power disappears or I die, their faces will rot!"

The more he spoke, the more mysterious he became, and he even changed his words to call himself "old man" to show off his wit and mystery.

Xiao Le: "You are so smart..."

Qingfeng: "He really believed it... Did you have any interactions afterwards? Do you know where Yuan Chu Xiangsi went?"

The high priest hesitated for a moment, and immediately thought, "I don't know where Yuan Chu Xiangsi went, but she had an encounter with that maid later. One year, she said something had grown on her face, and asked me to leave the mountain. She ended up bringing me to a temple! She was pregnant, and my profession doesn't fit in with the temple environment! It's really frustrating!"

"Besides, she just got some acne on her face because of her pregnancy. She's not that delicate. How can she be cured?! Doesn't she trust my skills?!"

Qingfeng and the other two were listening to the high priest's story very seriously. Suddenly, Qingfeng realized something and screamed loudly, "Pregnant?!!!"

The high priest dug his ears with his fingers, "I am not deaf! Who can make a wrong diagnosis of pregnancy pulse?"

Qingfeng and Xiaole looked at each other in surprise. There was no record of Concubine De being pregnant the year she went to the temple to pray. So who did she give birth to?

Xiao Le: "Do you remember exactly how many years ago?"

The high priest thought for a moment and said, "About seventeen or eighteen years ago."

This time is indeed the same as the time when Concubine De went up the mountain to pray for blessings, and she had a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child...

Qingfeng: "Then she is about the same age as Raoyan? But they don't look alike."

Xiao Le: "How can they look alike after their faces have been changed?"

Qingfeng: "Oh, that's right, no wonder we can't find out who Raoyan's biological mother is. We must report this to the Lord immediately. This is big news!"

Xiao Le: "Then let's go back to the Southland?"

The high priest was listening carefully and said, "Yes, let's go quickly, you three ancestors!"

Qingfeng shook his head, "No, just play outside for a while. The master has gone to welcome the grandson back to the court. They happen to be at the border. Let's go and protect the master."

High Priest: Yes! Let's go! If it weren't for protecting the villagers, he wouldn't tell anyone. If this matter were revealed, it would easily lead to his own death!

The story returns to the timeline at this point, and Qingfeng describes the story vividly, "My lord, we rushed here to report!"

Xiang Liu nodded. She originally thought that Prince Zhao looked very much like Concubine De, but she didn't expect that Raoyan was her daughter, and she was not Yuan Chu Xiangsi. It was indeed a big discovery. It was all thanks to the news from the high priest that the truth was made public.

But in fact, after Qingfeng and the other two left the high priest, no one noticed that the high priest immediately frowned and looked gloomy, as if he was somewhat lucky that they left after getting satisfactory clues. It also happened that he told them all about Concubine De, which they were interested in, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the three.

Now that he has said these things, it can be considered as atonement. His face was replaced with his own hands, and he has felt guilty all his life. He hopes that if he can tell them, someone will punish the evil couple and avenge the woman.

Relying on the clues from Qingfeng and the other two, we can only draw conclusions about the relationship between Donghuang and each person. As for why Defei has a grudge against Wuhualing, we still need clues from the second team.

Xiangliu praised the three people for their good work. There was no evidence at the moment, so they would go back and think of a solution.

Xiang Liu: "Now we need to focus on the Crown Prince and ensure that the Crown Prince and his family can return safely."

Qingfeng pulled the two of them to their feet and stomped his feet in a funny way, "Yes, sir!"

Soon they were almost halfway through the journey, and Rongsheng and the others had to change their route. After all, Ye Chenshang was going to the border, and if he, the Western Emperor, led a convoy there, others would think he was going to provoke them.

At the fork in the road, Xiangliu and a few others talked with Rong Xueling. Rong Xueling always went to Yizihao, and Qingfeng and the others became friends with her. When they parted, they had endless words to say to each other.

Xiang Liu also told Rong Xueling to live a good life when she returned. She had a heavy responsibility and should do something practical for the Western Kingdom. After all, it was she, not Rong Sheng, who possessed the royal power of the Western Kingdom.

Rongsheng pulled Ye Chenshang to a deserted place away from everyone. Kongshan saw this and stood not far away from them to keep watch for them.

Ye Chenshang: "What's wrong?"

Rongsheng said seriously, "Don't blame me for being nosy. I saw the map in your hand when we were having dinner that day and found that there were several alternative routes for your return trip."

"Yes." Ye Chenshang took out the map without any precautions, "Is there any problem with the route?"

Seeing that he trusted him so much, Rong Sheng explained directly, pointing to a place called Huangling, "Don't go here unless necessary. It's very dangerous."
