Chapter 61: Conspiracy in Motion

  Zhen'an Wangfu.

  In the garden of reflected snow, lanterns shine brightly everywhere.

  Xie Ruyan and Qin Lingyun stood in front of Qin Luoyi, carefully sizing her up.

  Qin Lingyun's face was filled with a smile, and her eyes had an uncontrollable joy: "Yi'er, when did your face get better? You little girl, why didn't you say anything after your face got better?" A moment later, Qin Lingyun asked with a smile.

  Qin Luo's face lit up with a bright smile, her stunningly beautiful face blooming like a hundred flowers: "It's only been a few days, I haven't even had time to say it, originally wanted to give you all a surprise!"

  Xie Ruyan looked at her smiling face, his expression a bit dazed, and before anyone noticed, he quickly returned to normal. He walked up, gently stroking her face, with an extremely delicate touch: "Yi'er, who healed your face? Such great kindness, we must express our gratitude properly!"

  "Haha, Princess Wang is right!" Qin Lingyun smiled and echoed. Looking at Qin Luoyi's eyes were filled with doting.

  His own daughter had been very self-abased because of this face... In order to cure her face, he didn't spare any effort, unexpectedly after more than a decade, just when he was about to give up, Yīěr's face miraculously recovered.

  Qin Luo's thoughts were racing in her mind.

  The face is self-healing, this sentence must not be said.

  "I don't know him either! He's a very old man, with white hair and beard. Last time in the capital city, I accidentally ran into him... He saw my face and gave me an elixir pill, then my face got better!"

  "An old man?" Qin Lingyun narrowed his eyes and pondered: "The highest in alchemy and medicine, on the Sacred Dragon Continent, are only the Divine Medicine Valley and the Dustless Palace. I've asked the Old Man of the Divine Medicine Valley to take a look at your face, but he couldn't cure it, so it shouldn't be him... Could it be someone from the Dustless Palace?"

  "Yi'er, when did you leave the palace? How come I didn't know?" Xie Ruyan furrowed her brow. Ever since their daughter got injured on the head, she had been staying in the palace except for that one time they went to Yuewu Mountain with Qin Luohan!

  Qin Luo Yi touched his nose and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Mother... I, I snuck out with Da Hei."

  Qin Lingyun's smile faded from his face, and his eyebrows furrowed in disapproval. "If you want to go out, just bring Yaotou and the guards with you," he said. "How can you possibly think of going out alone with Dahei?"

  Although he is a martial arts saint, there are also many enemies in secret... If Yī ér goes out alone and is discovered by someone, it will be over!

  Thinking of tonight, in the Imperial Garden, a Qi-refining stage girl at her peak also dared to make a move on her, her eyes turned cold and her expression became stern!

  Qin let her clothes fall down and hung her head, shrinking back and secretly sticking out her tongue.

  Qin Lingyun couldn't bear to scold her anymore, a smile spread across his face: "The old man who treated your illness... Yī Er, draw him for me to see..."

  Qin Luo took a deep breath, ever since she crossed over, Qin Lingyun had been extremely doting on her and Yan Yuese, with an intensity in his eyes that she had never seen before... She quickly pulled out paper and pen, thought for a moment, and drew the appearance of Taibai Jinxing from Journey to the West.

  "This person is not from the Dustless Valley!" Qin Lingyun negated with just one glance. He had seen the master of the Dustless Palace, as well as several elders, and had even visited them specifically to see Yī's face.

  Xie Ruyan also stood up, staring intently at the paper, her gaze so focused that it seemed like she could see through the paper. After a moment, she raised her head: "Think carefully again, besides alchemy, he didn't tell you anything else..."

  "No!" Qin Luo Yi thought for a moment, then shook her head again: "He only gave me one pellet of medicine and said it could cure my face... He didn't stay in the capital for long, and later seemed to have some urgent matter, didn't get to see the poison on my face being cured before he left..."

  "It seems that he should be a mysterious person in the Holy Dragon Continent..." Qin Lingyun and Xie Ruyan looked at each other, with a flash of strange color in their eyes.

  Qin Luo's clothes were disheveled and she pressed her lips together without making a sound.

  Modern Taibai Jin Xing, they certainly wouldn't recognize her, she casually drew a person out, if they all recognized him, she would be so sad... Later on, if her alchemy skills were accidentally exposed, haha, she could just push this mysterious person out as a shield!

  The news that Qin Luoyi, the Princess of Anping in the Zhen Nan Wang Fu, had her old facial illness cured and transformed from an ugly girl to a heavenly beauty overnight spread like it grew wings, covering every corner of the capital city.

  The capital is in an uproar.

  Tea houses and wine shops, streets and alleys, people discuss it endlessly.

  Some were curious, some were skeptical, but more people were rejoicing for the third prince.

  What a pitiful sight!

  Talented and handsome, the third prince who is a dragon among men, fortunately doesn't have to marry an ugly woman!

  In the palace, Chen Yao, the sister of Empress Chen, who had been hiding her true face, became famous overnight by taking action against Princess Anping. She harmed Princess Anping, and there were still some imperial guards who witnessed it, so the evidence was solid... The Ministry of Punishment upheld justice and sentenced her to death according to the law.

  Chen Fei's face lost color, she ran to the emperor and cried, pleading for mercy, saying that her younger sister was young and ignorant, hoping that the emperor would show leniency. However, she was scolded by the emperor, who said that the Chen family had no way of teaching their daughters properly, they were arrogant and lawless... Not only did she fail to save her own sister, but she herself was also banished to the Cold Palace by the emperor!

  ……

  Bang!

  After returning from the Mirror Snow Garden, Qin Luohan violently smashed the crystal mirror in the house, revealing a menacing glow in his eyes and an extremely ferocious expression: "Why? Why did her face get better... why did that ugly freak's face get better... Ah..."

  Having heard the rumors in the palace, she didn't believe them at first, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she was desperate!

  Qin Luo Yi's face was healed, but her beauty was ruined. Even with the use of purple jade cream, there was no way to restore her former beauty! Going out still had to wear a veil... Such a result, she couldn't accept it!

  Inside the house were only Second Mistress Zhu Mei and servant girl Xue Er.

  Zhu Mei quickly stepped forward and hugged her nearly hysterical daughter, soothing her with a series of worried tones: "Hanjun, don't be like this, calm down..."

  "Girl, how can I calm down! She's become even more beautiful now, the Third Prince will definitely like her... He won't like me anymore! Waaah, in just two months, the Third Prince will marry her, I refuse to accept it! I refuse to accept it!" Qin Luohan pushed her away with force and covered her face, screaming out loud.

  Jealousy raged in her heart, spreading and flowing everywhere, rapidly eroding her rationality, making her almost frantic.

  "Han'er, you're crazy! If the people from the Wang estate hear this, it'll be disastrous!" Zhu Mei's face turned pale as she hastily stepped forward to cover her mouth, speaking in a somewhat urgent tone while also anxiously glancing out the window.

  Xue Er stood in the corner with her head hung low, a mocking smile flickering at the corner of her lips.

  What goes around comes around!

  The county lord who was always called ugly by Second Miss is now completely fine, while Second Miss has become a genuine ugly freak!

  "Mother, I refuse to accept this! The Third Prince should be mine, he should marry me!" Qin Luo Han's voice was muffled by the gag, but her angry and suppressed growl still came through.

  Only she is worthy of the Third Prince... Everyone in the world knows that Qin Luoyi is a waste, a useless waste!

  Zhu Mei held her tightly in her arms, with a gloomy face, gritting her teeth: "Hanye, it's all my fault, I'm useless!" If she weren't a concubine, her daughter could have married the third prince properly and wouldn't have been replaced by that cheap woman's daughter! She hated... In the past... It was all because of that fox spirit who seduced the king!

  "Why didn't she die?! She's going to die... then I can marry the Third Prince..." Tears fell from her eyes.

  Zhu Mei hugged her tighter: "Han Er, don't worry, the Third Prince will marry you, not that cheap woman's daughter... Mother will definitely make the Third Prince marry you!"

  Qin Luohan's body shook, she raised her head, and her eyes shone brightly: "Mother, are you telling the truth? Can I really marry the Third Prince? Do you have a way?"

  Zhu Mei smiled and nodded at her, stroking the slightly disheveled black hair on her head. The coldness in her eyes flashed by: "Han'er, you have to believe me, I will definitely make the Third Prince marry you! Last time we failed... This time, with your cousin here, she won't be so lucky!"

  "Good girl!" Qin Luohan bit his lip, gently leaning into Zhu Mei's arms, his eyes gazing in the direction of Yingxue Garden, with resentment and venom at the bottom of his eyes.
