Chapter 249 Confusion
"You haven't heard of it?" Being stared at so closely by everyone, Chu Ci couldn't help but swallow his saliva and continued, "Disguise is very simple. It is to use some special materials and techniques, combined with superb makeup methods, to achieve the effect of similar appearance."
"It is said that this disguise technique can greatly change a person's appearance, and even make them look very similar to another person, making it difficult to tell them apart."
It would have been fine if there was no explanation. Once the explanation was given, everyone present stared at Chu Ci, their eyes filled with eagerness and desire.
Even the usually calm Zi Yi Envoy became excited when he thought that with this disguise technique, he would not be easily exposed when carrying out undercover missions in the future.
There was a bit more flattery in the eyes when he looked at Chu Ci. He quickly stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Princess Yixin, if you know this disguise technique, I hope you can teach us."
"If we learn it, we will be able to carry out missions with more assurance and do more important things for the court. Don't worry, we will remember your kindness."
"Stop—" Chu Ci quickly reached out to stop him, and said helplessly, "I can't afford such a high hat."
She shook her head repeatedly and continued to explain: "I don't know how to do this. I have only heard of this skill that only exists in legends in legendary books. Most of those stories are fictional and exaggerated, with a mixture of truth and falsehood. So, don't expect me to teach you."
Unfortunately, Chu Ci had created too many miracles in the past, and everyone had full faith in her abilities. They did not believe her denial.
However, they did not continue to ask about their understanding of Chuci.
Chu Ci heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and quickly struck while the iron was hot to belittle the art of disguise: "Actually, the art of disguise is not as magical as you think."
"Take the case of Zhou Yan mistaking someone for an example. First of all, he never had close contact with that person. He just glanced at him from a distance and couldn't see him clearly."
"Secondly, he himself is not familiar with you, the King of Shu, and does not have a clear and accurate understanding of your appearance, features, demeanor, etc. In this case, it is very likely that he will mistake you for someone else."
At this point, Chu Ci slowly turned his head, staring at the purple-robed envoy, and said seriously: "So, once someone familiar with that person is present, they will quickly discover the flaws and be exposed."
Chu Ci's original intention was to persuade the Purple-Robed Envoy not to dwell on the matter of the disguise technique, but he did not expect that the people present would think differently again. "If this is the case, the mastermind must be someone who is very familiar with the King of Shu, and there may even be a deeper conspiracy behind it. Otherwise, how dare they use this method to confuse the public?"
Chu Ci secretly complained: "Fine, as long as they don't focus their eyes on me, let them think and guess whatever they want. Anyway, I have said everything I should say, and I have tried my best to distance myself from this disguise technique."
It’s just that many things in this world are not what you want them to be.
Fan Jingrui, who always had a good understanding with her, suddenly raised a key question that everyone had ignored. "So, whether it's the Qian family, the Lin family, or even the other families, I'm afraid they have been secretly targeted for a long time. And maybe someone has planted a stake in them a long time ago, and the stakes are still there now?"
"Why haven't we discovered such an obvious and crucial problem before? Are we too careless, or are they hiding it too deeply?"
After hearing what Fan Jingrui said, Chu Ci suddenly had an idea. She finally realized what she had overlooked all along: "Purple Envoy, those fake children should look very similar to Qian Baobao, right?"
Having said that, Chu Ci looked around anxiously again and again, not missing any corner of the crowd of people being escorted. However, after searching for a long time, he did not find the fake "Zhang Pingping" among the group of people.
Chu Ci's expression changed slightly in an instant, and his expression became solemn. He looked at the Purple Envoy again and asked anxiously, "Purple Envoy, was it the same before?"
Not to mention the Purple-Robed Envoy, everyone present was stunned as if struck by lightning when they heard Chu Ci ask this.
"Really? Why has no one discovered such a simple loophole before?" Everyone present had this question.
But surprisingly, no one thought about it more deeply.
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui's expression became more solemn. He slightly turned sideways, quietly pulled Chu Ci's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "My wife, is it another Gu? But why are we not affected?"
Although Fan Jingrui's voice was small, it was like a thunderclap, booming in everyone's ears and waking everyone present from their trance.
At this time, everyone still did not realize that if the person behind the scenes could evacuate the relevant people before they arrived, or more accurately, before they took action, and not attract their attention at all, what exactly did this mean?
Chu Ci gave a helpless bitter smile and said slowly: "Have you forgotten that before leaving Lianzhou, Linglong gave me and Zi Yi Shi two Gu Kings respectively?"
"The Gu King can control most Gu insects. If we are really poisoned, the Gu King cannot have no reaction at all."
Since it’s not Gu, then what is it?
At this critical moment, the eldest prince and the purple-robed envoy seemed to have vaguely touched upon the key to the problem, but that key point was like a flower in the fog, and they could not remember it at all.
Recalling the miracles that Chu Ci had created in the past, the two of them seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said in unison: "Princess Yi Xin, you must know the reason, right?"
Although Chu Ci had some guesses in his mind, they were just guesses.
She knew very well that if she rashly told them that the world they lived in was nothing but a figment of someone else's imagination, they would surely think she was crazy.
So, she pondered for a moment, raised her eyes and asked the eldest prince: "Your Highness Prince Shu, you mentioned to me before that there is a secret room under your study. I wonder if you have explored it later?"
The eldest prince's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he said in a slightly panicked manner, "No."
"Could it be that the matter of the secret room is also related to the Zhang family's matter?" He frowned, his eyes revealing deep doubt and worry.
Chu Ci shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said solemnly: "Maybe, maybe not."
Chu Ci's ambiguous answer made the eldest prince and Zi Yi Shi even more confused.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and bewilderment. They had expected to get clear guidance from Chu Ci, but they had not expected such a vague answer, which made their doubts even greater. They felt as if they were in a fog, and became more and more at a loss.
