"how so……"
Liu Rushi still found it hard to believe. "I've been dead for over ten years... How could my body still be preserved so intact? Didn't Wei Zeng destroy my body a long time ago?"
“No.”
Xiao Shuangbao shook his head, "This is the crux of the matter. If Wei Zeng was just an ordinary person, how would he know the secret technique of face-changing?
"It's quite a coincidence. When I first entered the palace, I encountered a concubine who used the secret technique of face-changing to murder others. This secret technique can use a special potion to peel off a person's face intact, and then replace it with your own face.
“As far as this princess knows, this secret technique comes from the Beirong Yun family.
"Beirong is only separated from the border where the Liu family is stationed by a desert, so Wei Zeng must have obtained the secret technique of face-changing from the Yun family. Including the fact that he killed you and replaced you, it must have been accomplished with the help of the Yun family.
"Otherwise, how could a mere official like him have such great abilities?
"And now, even though he was clearly captured and imprisoned, he was able to escape, leaving the real Liu Rushi's body in prison while escaping. I'm afraid he has been in contact with the Yun family. So, it's not surprising that he was able to preserve your body for over a decade."
When Xiao Shuangbao said this, his face became a little solemn for a moment.
Over the years, Wei Zeng pretended to be Liu Rushi and inherited the Liu family army and the official position of the general guarding the country, but he secretly maintained contact with the Yun family. It is unknown how many things he did in secret to betray the Dongqi Kingdom.
Everyone was quite unbelievable when they heard her words.
No one expected that the truth behind the murder of "Liu Rushi" would be so tortuous.
"Just now, Lord Zhou said that the little princess's plan was very good. What does this mean?"
At this time, Liu Rushi looked at Zhou Xu and asked.
"Of course, this is to draw out Wei Zeng's plan. Even if Wei Zeng escapes from prison, he won't be able to escape for long. In order to escape, he returned this face to you, but he himself lost his face. So he must find another suitable face to continue to live as someone else."
Zhou Xu said.
Seeing that Liu Rushi still seemed confused, he explained, "The secret technique of face-changing requires you to cut off your own face before you can replace it with someone else's."
Now, Liu Rushi finally understood.
"Indeed, someone like Wei Zeng, who always yearns to climb the social ladder, would never be willing to live a life of anonymity and secrecy. He would definitely seek a prestigious identity to continue living a high-profile life."
Xiao Shuangbao said this in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
"So, Wei Zeng will harm others again, kill others, and take away their faces and identities?"
At this time, Liu Zhuanying finally understood.
He couldn't help but feel anxious: "Princess, is there any way to stop him? If he succeeds again, wouldn't it mean that someone else will die because of him, or even a family will be torn apart?"
"Master, don't worry. I won't let him succeed."
As Xiao Shuangbao spoke, he looked at Liu Rushi, "The real Liu Rushi has returned. Although I can't bring him back to life, I can use him to lure Wei Zeng out."
When Liu Rushi and Liu Qianying heard this, they couldn't help but look at her curiously, wondering what she was going to do.
"Liu Rushi, the reason you cut off the head and limbs of this corpse is because you want to infect them with evil spirits and then piece them together to form a puppet corpse, right?"
Little Shuangbao suddenly asked.
"good……"
Liu Rushi was surprised. She didn't expect that Xiao Shuangbao could even guess this.
"Then tell me, if Wei Zeng saw that your corpse had come back to life, what would he think?"
As Xiao Shuangbao said this, he immediately laughed to himself.
Two days later, the Dali Temple made a judgment on the case of corruption and abuse of power by the General Guarding the Country.
The official document issued by the Dali Temple stated that the great general Liu Rushi was slandered. Liu Ruanying, as his half-brother, forged a dragon robe to frame his brother in an attempt to seize the family property. He also fabricated many false evidences to frame Liu Rushi.
Now that Liu Ruanying has confessed to all his crimes, he has been sentenced to five years in prison, followed by exile after five years, and will temporarily serve his sentence in the Dali Temple Prison.
General Liu Rushi was released from prison.
Therefore, many jailers in the Dali Temple who already knew that Liu Rushi had been killed saw with their own eyes the strangest thing: Liu Rushi, who had clearly been beheaded and dead that night, actually walked out of the Dali Temple alive with all her limbs intact.
It's just that his body was covered with scars from torture, and his movements were slow, as if he couldn't walk well yet.
