"The owner of this face is named Qingwu."

Gui Yao gently stroked her face with her fingers. "He is one of the five commanders of the Five Colors Army. He is wise, loves to laugh, and is gentle and harmless. In reality, he is so intelligent that he is almost demonic. He is good at intelligence gathering, disguise, and sowing discord."

Usually, she acts as a scout, infiltrating before battle, serving as the eyes and ears and mouthpiece of the Five Colors Army, but I still can't recall how she got to my side...

She looked at Aye-niang across from her, who looked completely bewildered.

"The two look so alike. Even if it's for Qingwu, I will investigate the matter of Aye and her son."

Mao Dan nodded, "I'll help my master."

It hadn't expected its master to remember so much, and asked again, "What else did you remember, Master?"

Gui Yao curled her fingers slightly, recalling some things from when she was talking about the past with the Duke of Ningguo that day.

Therefore, she could not live a peaceful and filial life with the emperor. She failed to protect the Five Colors Army, and the emperor failed to protect the meritorious officials.

Composing himself, Gui Yao said slowly, "I recall that Chi Yan Zhang Yong is the vanguard, mainly responsible for attack, skilled in charging and assault, with a fierce temperament and decisive killing ability. He is the sharpest blade of the Five Colors Army, but he is simple-minded and easily impulsive."

Bai Yao is in charge of the army and is skilled in arranging formations to defend against enemies. He is the central commander who is responsible for the defense. He is calm, steady, fair and selfless, and good at accepting surrenders and pacifying the people. He is the rock and the law of the Five Colors Army. However, he is too concerned about the overall situation and often makes himself and his close friends suffer.

Huang Cen is a steady leader, skilled in overall planning and coordination, in charge of logistics and medical treatment. He is kind and gentle, seemingly able to embrace all things, and is the foundation and lifeblood of the Five Colors Army.

She was the youngest of the five, timid and prone to tears, but she never caused me any trouble. Her only flaw was that she was too soft-hearted.

Mo Ling is skilled in cunning, adept at night raids and assassinations, ambushes and rearguard actions. She is patient, cold-blooded, taciturn, and ruthless, the shadow of the Five-Colored Army…

Gui Yao stopped talking and changed her expression.

That face was gloomy and aloof, with narrow and cold eyes. "I also remember that Mo Ling had facial adjustments due to damage to her appearance, which changed her appearance."

She originally had a face similar to Pei Xuan's; she was the sixth young lady of Nan Yao.

When she returns, I need to tell her about Pei Xuan and clear up the misunderstanding about being sold by my brother. Perhaps then she won't be so withdrawn... But when can I get them back?

The last sentence was spoken very softly, as if to oneself.

Mao Dan heard this and comforted her, "Master can already remember them, so their return won't be long."

Gui Yao gave a soft "hmm" and changed back to her original appearance.

A-Ye's mother stared in disbelief, then blinked and said, "My little A-Ye is so smart, he found the most capable person to help him."

She'd never seen anyone who could change their face before; this girl must be a true Bodhisattva.

Gui Yao looked at her face and seemed to see Qingwu in it. Her tone softened considerably. "Aye is sleeping and resting. I'll take you to see him, but you'll have to come back with me. Is that alright?"

"it is good."

A-Ye's mother agreed without hesitation.

Once outside Xuanji Tower, her figure faded further, and Gui Yao glanced at her.

"In a couple of days, I'll take you to meet a few more people elsewhere to see if that will help you remember anything."

She had originally planned to take Aye's mother to the Tong family's house tonight, but seeing her condition, she decided to let her rest for a couple more days.

As long as her son is well, Ah Ye's mother will agree to whatever Gui Yao says.

Seeing her son clean and sleeping soundly, Aye's mother was very happy.

Fearing that if she didn't obey, her son wouldn't have the good life he had now, she really only took one look.

But she couldn't resist looking at her son, so she covered her eyes with her fingers and peeked through the gaps.

Gui Yao's heart softened immediately. "You can stay with him for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but don't get too close."

Yin energy can harm the body.

"It's so kind of you."

Aye's mother smiled broadly, stepping outside the door to peer at her son through the doorframe. "This is the first time Xiaoye has worn new clothes. He looks so handsome."

Gui Yao, remembering Tong Lao Er's fine clothes, asked, "How did you manage to live in the countryside?"

"The widowed aunt who adopted us lent us land to farm, and we returned grain to her. We also exchanged grain and firewood for a place to live."

She picked at her fingers. "I work slowly and often don't get enough to eat. Xiao Ye started helping out when he was five or six years old. He's very capable."

But we still often didn't have enough to eat because the rent for the land and rooms had gone up, so Ono took me into the mountains to find food.

Ono is very clever; he can catch pheasants and rabbits. But I still don't have money to buy him new clothes. He wears old clothes that he has swapped with others.

The men in the village said that if I slept with them, they would give Ono new clothes and food.

"I'm not stupid. If I slept with them, people would call Ono a bastard even more..."

At this point, she said a little shyly, "But I was a little bit dumber than I am now."

Back then, I was mute and couldn't speak.

Then she said proudly, "But my Xiao Ye is smart. He knew how to take things from the mountains to the county town to exchange for money when he was just a teenager."

Unfortunately, I fell ill later, and medical treatment, medicine, and burial all cost money. The remaining money was robbed by the village chief and his gang; they are all bad guys.

But the bad guys are all dead. Someone killed them with a very long knife and burned down their houses.

Gui Yao's eyes flickered slightly. "Were they killed by outsiders? When?"

She suspected that this was the person behind it all, who, upon learning that A-Ye had fled the village, killed the village chief's family to silence them.

As expected, A-Ye's mother said, "On the way from the village to the capital, I went back to scare them, and I found that they were all dead, their souls gone."

Some people said it was Ono who did it, and those foolish officials even wanted to arrest Ono. Luckily, I, Ono, am smart and came to the capital.

However, Ono can't go back, or he'll be thrown into jail.

But Ono doesn't know yet. When he wakes up, could you please tell him for me?

She later tried to enter her son's dreams, but her soul was too weak to enter his dreams again.

Gui Yao nodded, "Okay."

Ah Ye probably doesn't need to go back anymore.

"Alright, let's go back."

Gui Yao brought A Ye Niang back to Xuanji Tower, but she herself couldn't sleep.

After thinking it over, she went to the Pei residence.

While Pei Xuan was asleep, he sensed someone in the room and immediately took out a dagger from under his pillow.

Gui Yao lit the fire tumbler, "It's me, Gui Yao."

"Guiyao, my lady?"

Pei Xuan turned on the bedside lamp, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Gui Yao found a seat and sat down. "I suddenly wanted to check on you. How have you been lately?"

She glanced at Pei Xuan; after several months of recuperation, his face had gained some weight, giving him a rather gentle appearance.

Pei Xuan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, so he cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "May I tidy myself up, young lady?"

It was summer, and the pajamas were thin. Gui Yao was the future princess, so it was really inconvenient for him to talk to her like this.

Gui Yao nodded, turned around, and asked, "Pei Xuan, are you still looking for Miss Pei Liu?"

Pei Xuan paused in his dressing. "Of course we need to find her. Do you have any news about Xiao Liu, young lady?"

"no."

Gui Yao shook her head, "But I know what she looks like now."

Once the dressing sounds behind her had stopped, Gui Yao slowly turned her head, revealing that she now had Mo Ling's face.

"Her face was previously disfigured; this is what she looks like now."

Since his younger sister was involved, Pei Xuan disregarded the proper boundaries between men and women, cupped his hands in greeting to Gui Yao, and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience."

He then walked into Guiyao with the lamp in hand. He looked very carefully, and gradually his eyes became moist. "Looking closely, he still looks the same as before, especially his eyes."

However, those eyes that used to be always smiling are now cold and distant.

What is the relationship between the girl and Xiao Liu?

Pei Xuan pursed his lips. "Are you sure Xiao Liu is still alive, young lady?"

If he were alive, why would Xiao Liu's face be on Gui Yao's body? He was truly afraid that Xiao Liu was no longer there.

Gui Yao thought for a moment, "I can't tell you too much, but I will definitely bring her back."

She will find them, even if it means going to the ends of the earth.

Pei Xuan knew Gui Yao's abilities, and Xiao Huaijin had also told him that Xiao Liu was rescued by a nobleman in the capital, and that person was very likely Gui Yao.

Therefore, he didn't ask any further questions. He cupped his hands in thanks again to Guiyao, "Thank you, young lady. If you can find Xiao Liu, the Pei family will be eternally grateful."

Gui Yao avoided the situation. She didn't know why she came to the Pei residence. It seemed like she wanted to see Mo Ling's relatives, or it seemed like she had some other emotion.

But she was definitely not there to receive Pei Xuan's greetings. She stood up, waved her hand, and said, "You can continue sleeping. I'm leaving."

Pei Xuan called out to her, "How is Qinghuan?"
