Xie Qingyao went into the Jingxin Pool without bringing her maid, and Shuangyue Mozhu was guarding outside the cave.
This temple is very popular and many people come to pray.
A steady stream of people entered the cave.
Therefore, Shuangyue and Mozhu did not expect that Xie Qingyao would encounter any danger in the cave.
After all, the meditation room in the stone cave is full of monks chanting scriptures, and most of the people who come here are noble ladies from various families. No one is so arrogant as to cause trouble in the holy place of Buddhism.
On the other side, a spy came to report outside the door.
"Sir, they are spies sent to monitor Qingxin Temple." Xi Feng said.
He Zheng let someone in.
The spy said, "Sir, today Princess Yong'an secretly left Qingxin Temple and took a shortcut to Qianfo Temple."
He Zheng paused as he was writing.
Xie Qingyao also went to Thousand Buddha Temple.
Could it be such a coincidence? Did Princess Yong'an just go there to pray on a whim?
If you want to pray for blessings, why don’t you go openly instead of secretly?
Xi Feng was also puzzled by this, and his eyelids twitched. "Princess Yong'an might have bad intentions."
"A few days ago, Nan Dong brought news from the palace that a maid named Qiuhong from Princess Yong'an's palace had jumped into a well and died during the New Year's holiday. No one knows why she did so."
Ever since Xie Qingyao told He Zheng that Concubine Yin might want to slap her in the face, He Zheng had people keep an eye on Concubine Yin and Princess Yong'an.
If there was anything wrong, it was that a palace maid died inexplicably.
But He Zheng did not take it lightly and asked people to investigate further from the palace maid.
Xi Feng: "Qiu Hong has a birthmark on her face. According to others, she loves beauty, so she goes out of the palace to buy medicine every once in a while, and then comes back to apply it on her face. The birthmark will fade a little, and it has been there for many years."
"But since Princess Yong'an went to Qingxin Temple, Qiuhong has never left the palace to buy medicine."
"What a coincidence! As soon as Princess Yong'an left, Qiuhong's medicine stopped, and now she's dead."
Considering what happened today, the problem wasn't with Concubine Yin or the palace maid.
"The medicine is not for palace maids, it's for Yong'an." He Zheng's eyes turned cold, and he strode out of the door, heading for Thousand Buddha Temple.
"Xifeng, take the imperial physician who treated Yong'an to the Thousand Buddha Temple."
"Yes, sir!" Xi Feng thought to himself, oh no, the madam is in danger!
If anything happens to Madam, My Lord will never let Princess Yong'an off easily!
He Zheng rode his horse directly and galloped all the way to the Thousand Buddha Temple.
Xi Feng also came with the imperial physician. He used the token given by He Zheng to move freely in the imperial city and arrested the man without saying a word.
"Sir, Imperial Physician Xiao refuses to say anything and is being very stubborn. I'm sure someone has something to hold against him."
He Zheng didn't have time to waste on talking to the imperial physician. He just gave him a cold look and said as he walked away, "If anything happens to my wife, I will execute your entire clan. I mean what I say."
After hearing this, Xiao Imperial Physician was so frightened that he dropped to his knees and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
"The lives of my family are in the hands of Concubine Yin, so I concealed something."
But He Zheng started by killing three clans right from the start, and the consequences would be much more serious.
"Princess Yong'an has a spider-shaped birthmark on the left side of her face. I've been prescribing medication to treat it for years, but lately the medicine hasn't been working as well."
"Empress Yin became interested. After the Marquis' wife saved Princess Yong'an, she fell in love with her stunning beauty..."
Imperial Physician Xiao was frightened by He Zheng's eyes and broke out in a cold sweat.
He Zheng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he looked very dangerous.
He swallowed hard and continued speaking.
"I, I advised Concubine Yin that this face-changing technique only has a 50% chance of success... This matter has nothing to do with me. I have never harmed the Marquis' wife on Concubine Yin's behalf."
Concubine Yin probably looked down on the cowardly behavior of Imperial Physician Xiao, so she did not use him to exchange faces. Instead, she looked for a doctor from the Western Regions, who was more convenient to use and at least obeyed his orders.
"Go to jail." He Zheng said.
The person who was sent out came back to report that Xie Qingyao had entered the Jingxin Pool in the stone cave.
"Sir?" Seeing He Zheng, Shuangyue Mozhu looked at each other in surprise.
Xi Feng: "Something happened. Princess Yong'an came to the Thousand Buddha Temple and wants to harm Madam."
Mo Zhu's back was stiff.
It was their fault that they failed to fulfill their responsibilities and allowed the bad guys to take advantage of the situation.
The atmosphere outside the cave is depressing and dangerous.
A group of guards holding golden swords stood outside in a menacing manner.
The pilgrims opened their mouths in surprise, not understanding what was going on. Why did Marquis Anguo bring people to surround this place?
Something big happened.
He Zheng rushed into the cave with a group of people.
No one dared to stop him.
at this time.
Xie Qingyao was lying on a slightly cool stone bed, her limbs feeling weak and limp.
Her mind gradually became clearer, but she still kept her eyes closed and did not get up.
Her fingertips reached into the embroidered bag on her waist and held the medicine powder in her palm.
She smelled something strange while walking on the trail, so she became cautious and took the pill.
Later, a monk appeared and suffocated her unconscious.
There is indeed something fishy.
It wasn't that she was being overly suspicious, it was just that something was really wrong, but by then it was too late for her to resist.
Even the monks were bribed, so the other party must be quite powerful.
Xie Qingyao could only be thankful that she had always been cautious and had taken the pills in advance, so she woke up early.
She should be in a Zen room now.
Footsteps were heard.
"Princess, please lie down. You will be fine in a moment."
A foreign accent, Xie Qingyao thought.
Your Highness the Princess?
Soon, a cold voice was heard.
"This princess has changed her mind. I want Xie Qingyao's face, all of it."
Xie Qingyao's heart skipped a beat. It was Princess Yong'an's voice.
Face, she wants her own face.
Suddenly she remembered that Concubine Yin had always stared at her face before. It turned out that she wanted to give her face to Princess Yong'an.
The Western Regions physician was completely surprised. "Your Highness, this is different from what Concubine Yin said. Isn't it just about replacing a small piece of skin?"
"If, if her entire face changed, what would she do?"
She refers to Xie Qingyao.
Could it be that Xie Qingyao became Princess Yong'an?
Princess Yong'an smiled sinisterly, "She?"
As she said this, she looked at Xie Qingyao who was still in a coma.
"Once I have replaced her face, she will be useless. I will just kill her."
The Western doctor was stunned.
Princess Yong'an said in a tone that brooked no argument: "Just do as I say. I will report to Mother later."
She wanted to take away Xie Qingyao's face, kill Xie Qingyao, and take her place.
From now on, she was no longer Princess Yong'an, but the most honorable lady in the capital.
She wants to live as Xie Qingyao.
By then, even the unruly Marquis of Anguo would fall at her feet.
Princess Yong'an raised her chin slightly, with pride in her eyes.
She wants to play everyone in the palm of her hand.
The Western doctor was puzzled, but he didn't dare to disobey her, "Okay, okay."
"Your Highness, please lie down quickly. It will take quite some time to change your entire face."
Princess Yong'an drank the potion given by the doctor and smiled excitedly.
At this time, Xie Qingyao heard someone approaching her. It must be the foreigner.
She held her breath and clenched the powder.
She had to calm down and save herself, she only had one chance.
