The next day, Yang Qing got up from the bed, and after washing, she sat in front of the dressing mirror and made various expressions in front of the yellow bronze mirror, either cold, smiling, or angry......

Yang Qing tried her best to recall the appearance of when she got along with Shen Ling, and imitated her demeanor vividly.

After practicing in front of the mirror for a long time, just as Yang Qing was about to get up and go out, she noticed that there was something slightly strange on her cheeks next to her ears.

Yang Qing chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly approached the bronze mirror, only to see that the mask next to her ear had peeled and become very dry.

"How so!" She trembled and stretched out her fingers to caress it, and the skin in the area was directly cracked, and flakes resembling human skin fell off her cheeks.

Yang Qing almost screamed, but fortunately she realized her current situation and covered her mouth in time.

Originally, Yang Qing thought that as long as Shen Ling didn't come back, she would always be able to replace Shen Ling's identity, but now that the mask is not fragile, if she can't find a solution in time, I'm afraid that sooner or later her identity will be exposed.

Forcibly suppressing the panic in her heart, Yang Qing took out the water to wet the cracked place, and let the mask fit back to her face, but as the water trail dissipated, the mask peeled again.

Yang Qing had no choice, so she parted her hair in two and put it next to her ear, covering the piece of skin.

"Since it's a mask made by Shen Ling, maybe there will be a solution in the book." She muttered to herself, and before she could even open the door, she went back to the books in her room.

Before you know it, the sun has climbed from the initial mid-air to the sky.

Song Linyuan noticed Yang Qing's strangeness and walked towards her courtyard.

He knocked on Yang Qing's door, "Ling'er, you didn't come out all this morning, and you didn't even eat breakfast, did something happen?"

Inside the house, Yang Qing was looking for books, and she explained in a hurry, "I'm fine, but I'm a little unwell."

Song Linyuan's worried proposal, "Uncomfortable? I'll get a doctor to show you."

Afraid that staying in the house for a long time would arouse Song Linyuan's suspicions, Yang Qing wet the cracked part of the mask, looked carefully in the mirror, and opened the door when he saw that there was no flaw.

"No need, it's just a small problem, I'll just rest."

Seeing Yang Qing come out, Song Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Yang Qing would play some tricks and escape from Mu Mansion.

"Rest is rest, and food must be eaten." After carefully admonishing Yang Qing, Song Linyuan left.

In the days that followed, Yang Qing reduced her meetings with Song Linyuan and Jing Ci, and threw herself wholeheartedly on the books in the room, trying to find a solution to the broken mask, but she couldn't find it.

Yang Qing knew that it was best for her to withdraw in time before Song Linyuan found out, but after enjoying the wealth, she didn't want to live her previous life at all.

Another day passed, and the Mu Mansion in the early morning was not calm, and the noisy sound at the door came to the ears of Song Linyuan, who was having dinner with Yang Qing.

Song Linyuan frowned and stopped his chopsticks, "What's going on outside? Why are you so noisy?"

"My subordinates are going to take a look." It wasn't long after the guard who spoke went out and returned.

He reported truthfully: "Shizi, many people have come outside, and they are all clamoring to find the lord of the county."

Yang Qing also stopped eating, "Looking for me?"

Song Linyuan took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, got up and looked at Yang Qing and stretched out his hand, "Ling'er, since I'm looking for you, then let's go out and have a look together."

"Okay." Yang Qing put his hand on Song Linyuan's palm, and he pulled it up.

Although Yang Qing didn't want to meet so many people, Song Linyuan had spoken, and her refusal would easily arouse Song Linyuan's suspicions, and this was not in line with Shen Ling's previous image to the outside world.

The two walked out together, looking at the people gathered together, Yang Qing cleared his throat.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

The people saw that Yang Qing didn't match Shen Ling's appearance in their memory, and said casually, "You're not the county lord looking for you for something."

Yang Qing almost thought that her identity was revealed, but then she quickly reacted and thought so

The face of his disguise is different from Shen Ling's real appearance, which makes the people misunderstand.

She hurriedly explained, "I'm the county lord, but I'm just changing my face, and I don't want to show my true face."

"Are you really the county lord?" Youbaixin looked at Yang Qing suspiciously, and always felt that this person's demeanor and bearing were different from the county lords he had seen before.

Yang Qing turned her eyes to Song Linyuan as if she was asking for help, "The prince ......

Seeing Yang Qing's eyes, Song Linyuan felt a touch of strangeness in his heart, but soon this strangeness dissipated, and he couldn't catch it at all.

He stood beside Yang Qing, and Lang testified against Yang Qing, "She is the county lord."

"Great, it's really the county lord!" The people cheered.

"So what are you looking for me for?"

Among the people, there was an elderly man with a gray beard, standing up tremblingly with a cane, "The blood of the phoenix has been born, we heard that the county lord has returned, and we all want to ask the county lord for rain for us."

This can stump Yang Qing, she is not the county lord in the first place, where will she ask for rain.

She refused, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pray for you for rain for the time being."

Someone in the crowd dissatisfied, "Why? Everyone is spreading the word that the county lord has saved many people along the way, and he is a virtuous person, but now we just want the county lord to ask for rain for us, and we are not willing to agree to this request?"

"yes, are all the rumors false?"

"I said a long time ago that the rumors are not credible, and if you don't believe it, you have to come over, now you are dumbfounded."

The people talked a lot, so that Yang Qing could not step down for a while.

Song Linyuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, also spoke, "Ling'er, you might as well agree to them, just ask for a rain, it won't be long."

When he was in Kyoto, Song Linyuan had heard that Shen Ling used the phoenix blood heart to predict the weather and predict future things, but Song Linyuan had never seen it.

Right now, Song Linyuan also wants to take this opportunity to see if the Phoenix Blood Heart is as powerful as rumored.

Seeing that everyone asked for rain, Yang Qing had no choice but to agree. c

"Okay, I'll promise to help you ask for rain."

If she can't ask for rain at that time, she can find another excuse to deceive everyone.

"Great! It's finally going to rain." When the people heard her agree, they cheered, as if they were very sure that Yang Qing would be able to ask for rain.

The white-bearded elder was also full of joy, and he smiled gratefully at Yang Qing, "We have prepared the things for asking for rain, and without further ado, we will also ask the county lord to come with the old man."

Yang Qing was apprehensive in her heart, but there was no way to get to this point, so she kept up with the old man.
