Chapter 52: Revealing One's True Form

  Qin Luo Yi gritted her teeth and hummed softly: "You want to marry... I didn't say I'd marry!"

  Chu Yifeng's eyes narrowed dangerously as he heard the words: "Yi'er, I don't want to hear such words from you again. Your body is already mine, who else do you think you can marry?"

  The ridicule in Qin's eyes flashed by.

  It's just a thin layer.

  "I won't marry anyone!"

  Chu Yifeng thought she was just talking nonsense, and couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused, his affection for her growing even more. He stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek: "Silly girl, what are you saying!"

  Qin Luoyi saw a flash of bright red between his fingers and silently cursed.

  Du Mu Changqing had just sneaked into the Wang mansion last night, obviously having some suspicions about her. In order to make him completely lose heart, she took out a cinnabar that was vastly different from the one she used on peaceful days to disguise herself... However, this cinnabar, if applied too heavily, would fall off!

  No matter how I calculated, I never expected Chu Yifeng to suddenly rush in tonight!

  Chu Yifeng also noticed the abnormality on his fingers, and his pupils shrank. He raised his hand and placed it in front of his eyes: "What is this?"

  While speaking, she glanced sideways at Qin Luo Yi.

  Qin Luoyi knew that today's exposure was inevitable, and instead calmed down, blinking her eyes unhurriedly as she smiled and said: "The thing in your hand, how do I know?"

  Chu Yifeng hummed softly and suddenly stretched out his hands, tightly holding her head, and vigorously rubbed it against the moonlight outside the window.

  "Hey, be gentle!"

  “……”

  "I'm so dead!"

  “……”

  "Chuyifeng, let go quickly!"

  ……

  Chu Yifeng's lips, which had been smiling for years, were tightly pursed, and her eyes narrowed as she forcefully wiped her face, ignoring the suppressed low cries that filled her ears.

  Soon, Qin Luo's acne was wiped clean from her face, revealing a fair and absolutely beautiful complexion.

  Chu Yifeng finally loosened his grip, and a flash of surprise flickered in his eyes before his handsome face turned icy cold. His narrow eyes stared at her as he said, "Qin Luoyi, shouldn't you explain something to me?"

  Qin Luoyi felt like the skin on her face had been scrubbed off, burning with pain, and she glared at him angrily, saying: "What's there to explain? You've already seen everything!"

  While talking, I couldn't help but rub my face with my hands, it really hurts!

  Chu Yifeng's temperament is elegant and refined.

  He had been worried about her all along, and today, because she had also lost her temper with Si Kongchen and the others, he made up his mind that no matter what method he used, he would cure her face so that she wouldn't live in shame under the gaze of the world.

  Who knew it was all fake!

  Her face is fine! Everything was just his overthinking!

  The more he thought about it, the more enraged he became. Looking at Qin Luo's slender eyes, a fierce and uncontainable flame burst out.

  Damn woman, is teasing him fun?

  I really want to grab her and spank her hard!

  Angry eyes gazed into her clear and cold phoenix pupils: "Why? Why cover your own face?" He asked out of curiosity.

  Qin Luo Yi took two steps back, feeling safe now that she was no longer oppressed by his breath. She smiled and said, "I'm naturally beautiful, unparalleled in beauty, stunning enough to make fish sink and birds fall, and eclipsing the moon and flowers... To avoid making others too self-conscious, I have to cover up, of course."

  Chu Yifeng glared at her, laughing and crying: "You're really shameless, your skin is so thick, has anyone ever boasted about themselves like you?" Looking at her pretty face, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

  "This is a fact, what's there for me to be ashamed of?" Qin Luo Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled confidently.

  Chu Yifeng raised an eyebrow and carefully examined her.

  Her skin was as white as jade, her eyes were bright and black like the stars, her eyebrows were curved like a willow leaf, and her red lips were beautiful, just like a painting come to life.

  "A storm brews in his heart, but he says with a smile: 'What a wonderful spirit!'"

  She took another look at her fingers, brought them close to the tip of her nose and sniffed, then said: "This cinnabar is used too much, it's very damaging to the skin. Don't use it again in the future. In a few days, I'll bring you some high-quality makeup remover that won't come off easily and won't be noticed by others."

  Never thought that Qin Luo Yi without those red pimples on her face would be so stunningly beautiful, even the women in the imperial palace couldn't compare to her.

  He had an urge to hide her away.

  He didn't dare imagine what a huge sensation it would cause if her true face were exposed!

  De Guifei has always been dissatisfied with the emperor's decision to marry Qin Luoyi to her son, Chu Yixiu. More than two months have passed since the imperial edict was issued, but she still hasn't given up and often whispers in the emperor's ear, trying to get him to change his mind.

  If she were to find out that Yier's face was clean and didn't have those red marks... She would be overjoyed if her son could marry the daughter of Zhen Nan Wang, so if he wanted to dissolve their engagement, it would probably be even more troublesome!

  The next morning, Xie Ruyan saw Qin Luoyi and only then did he know that his father, Zhen Nan Wang Qin Lingyun, had stayed overnight in the palace and hadn't returned... No wonder Duanmu Changqing and Chu Yifeng were so bold, daring to charge into the palace alone!

  The dowry has been prepared almost, Xie Ruyan is busy but always smiling and joyful.

  Qin Luoyi saw it and felt a little guilty in her heart, because she knew that Xie Ruyan would be disappointed... She absolutely couldn't marry Chu Yixiu!

  At night, taking advantage of Qin Lingyun and Xie Ruyan being present, she secretly expressed her own thoughts. She wanted to try to see if she could start with Qin Lingyun to dissolve the engagement.

  In her opinion, Chu Yixiu wanted to marry her, the most famous ugly girl in Chu State, largely because she had a powerful father.

  It's unlikely that Chu Yixiu will proactively dissolve the engagement, if he didn't want to marry her, there wouldn't be no movement even after two months since the imperial edict was issued.

  Xie Ruyan was visibly startled, staring at her for a few moments before scolding her with a smile: "What are you talking about, child? When boys grow up, they get married, and when girls grow up, they get married off. You're all grown up now, even if your mother can't bear to part with you, she can't keep you in the palace forever!"

  "Heh heh, Yi'er, didn't you used to like the Third Prince? Why don't you want to marry him now?" Qin Lingyun's eyes shone with doting light.

  "Things from before... I've all forgotten!" Qin Luo Yi rubbed her nose, muttering to herself. The one who liked the Third Imperial Son, Chu Yu Xiu, was the original Qin Luo Yi; she didn't have any sparks with that Third Imperial Son at all.

  Qin Lingyun and Xie Ruyan lost their smiles.

  "You just temporarily forgot, didn't Dr. Hua say that as long as you frequently come into contact with familiar people and things from before, you'll be able to remember everything from before in no time." Qin Lingyun consoled her.

  She had always been self-abased, and he knew it. Moreover, she had always had a soft spot for the Third Prince. When the Emperor first proposed the marriage, he was originally going to decline it. The imperial family might be good, but it wasn't necessarily a good place for his daughter to settle down.

  However, before refusing, he still asked for his daughter's opinion... Remembering her dazzling eyes at the time, Qin Lingyun secretly sighed.

  Unexpectedly, after hitting her head, the daughter forgot everything, including the person she liked... Now she even has thoughts of not wanting to get married.

  The imperial edict has been issued, and it's not that easy to back out of this marriage now! Moreover, she may have only temporarily lost her memory, and if one day she remembers again, she will surely regret it.

  This road is closed!

  Qin Luo's heart was slightly disappointed.

  It seems like she can only think of another way herself now. The trick of playing dead is something she really doesn't want to use until the last moment!
