“All the people around us are people I have carefully selected. They have been with me for many years and nothing has happened to them all these years. I really don’t want to suspect that there are any spies planted among them.”
Qi Guze's eyes were deep and his voice was weak.
Xu Yuehuai said, "But this time and time again, someone has betrayed us. Someone must have secretly sent messages to the outside world. If you really can't believe that it was someone close to you who betrayed you, perhaps that person has just hidden their identity and disguised themselves as someone close to you?"
"I know there is something in this world called disguise. Some people are particularly good at disguise. They can completely transform themselves into another person, just like getting a new head, so that no one can tell. In fact, they are not that person at all."
"I suspect that someone close to you might have used disguise techniques to look like one of your people. Perhaps he isn't one of your people at all, but is just pretending to be someone else, and he is the real spy!"
After hearing this, Qi Guze thought it might be possible, but he still found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Is there really such a powerful art of disguise in this world? Can it really completely change one's appearance and make one look like another person?"
Xu Yuehuai said, "If you don't believe me, Your Highness, I can change my appearance for you right now."
"I'm not very good at disguise, I just know a little bit of dressing up skills. You'll see if my appearance has changed into someone else's face."
Qi Guze nodded with great interest. Then Xu Yuehuai went to prepare some makeup supplies. After she had everything organized, she carried the supplies to Qi Guze's side.
Before them were inkstones for drawing eyebrows, some contouring products, and rouge, among other things.
Qi Guze looked at the makeup items the girls were using and wondered how those items could possibly allow someone to disguise themselves as someone else. He stared intently at Xu Yuehuai, not wanting to miss a single moment.
"Your Highness, I'm going to use these things to change my appearance, so please watch carefully."
Xu Yuehuai laughed as she picked up her eyebrow makeup kit, first covering up all her eyebrows, and then drawing on thin eyebrows.
When Qi Guze saw this scene, he didn't feel that anything was wrong, and continued to look carefully.
When Xu Yuehuai was giving herself a makeover, Qi Guze finally noticed something was wrong. He discovered that Xu Yuehuai's entire profile had changed a lot. She was already very thin, but after the makeover, her face became even smaller, like a V-shaped face.
"You only applied a little makeup to your face, how come you suddenly look so different? This surprises me quite a bit. Is there really such a powerful cosmetic technique in this world?"
Qi Guze cupped Xu Yuehuai's face in his hands and stared intently at her.
Xu Yuehuai said, "Your Highness, it's not over yet. What I'm about to do will shock you even more."
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze released Xu Yuehuai and continued reading.
"Alright, then continue. I want to see what kind of appearance my future little princess will have."
Xu Yuehuai smiled faintly, then added some subtle touches to her face, changing the shape of her eyes and her lips, turning them into cherry lips. Each change was very subtle, but when they were added together, they immediately transformed her from her original appearance into a completely different one.
Xu Yuehuai was already incredibly beautiful, a beauty that could shame the moon and make the flowers blush. Now, after a careful makeover, she has become even more stunning, almost like a completely different person. Even Qi Guze could hardly recognize her.
"I never imagined you could actually change your appearance so drastically. This truly astonishes me!"
Xu Yuehuai said, "These are just some small tricks, they have nothing to do with disguise. Real disguise can completely change a person's appearance, making them look nothing like their original appearance, and can even impersonate another person's face, making them completely unrecognizable to others."
"I think the spy next to the prince might really be a master of disguise, transforming into someone else and hiding by the prince's side."
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze immediately nodded.
"Yes, that's right. So how exactly am I supposed to find that person? Since he's impersonating someone else, won't it be very difficult to locate him?"
Xu Yuehuai said, "I have a way to find him."
"It's just a disguise. We'll gather them all together and let them accidentally come into contact with water. Real skin can absorb water, but disguised skin will keep the water out. We can then use this method to catch that person."
Upon hearing this method, Qi Guze quickly agreed.
“Okay, then we’ll do it this way: let all those people come out, test them, and find the spies hidden among them.”
After they discussed the matter, they rested.
The next day, they led everyone on their way to Wuling Kingdom.
When they were halfway there, Qi Guze told everyone to go to a nearby water source to change their water, and to fill all their water bottles to accumulate the water they would need for the rest of the journey.
Everyone gathered around the lake, and just then, for some unknown reason, it seemed as if something in the lake exploded, and water suddenly splashed out.
In fact, all of this was arranged by Qi Guze in advance by Pei Xuan. As long as they passed through that area, the small shells inside would explode at the right time.
As the water splashed out, it all landed on the guards next to Qi Guze.
At first, some guards stood in front of Qi Guze and his group, trying to protect them.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai noticed that some of the guards were not protecting them at all, but instead moved to a safe place on their own, while others stood still, afraid to move.
After noticing this, Xu Yuehuai immediately began to carefully observe the changes in those people.
