Chapter 123 Special Skill

Xiao Songyan was extremely excited when he learned that Meng Lingge was going on a long trip.

He planned that once Meng Lingge left the capital, he would bring a few more men to ambush her in a secluded place. At that time, this cold and beautiful woman would not only have her body in his hands, but even her life would be in his hands.

He can do whatever he wants.

It's a pity that Meng Xiyao didn't come along. No matter how beautiful Meng Lingge is, she's already been married. Meng Xiyao is a virgin. But one shouldn't be too greedy. To have either of the two beauties from the Meng family would be a great blessing.

Besides, Meng Lingge had ruined his plans last time, and he harbored both lust and old grudges against her. Now that he had her captured, he had to make this woman understand the price of ruining someone else's plans.

If she knows what's good for her, he'll buy a house in another city and lock her up, making her his own possession. Then Prime Minister Meng will never be able to find her.

If she still dares to be arrogant, then after playing with her for a few days, I'll send her to her death and vent my anger at the humiliation I suffered at the Meng family mansion.

Xiao Songyan's eyes were cold and gloomy. After making up his mind, he began to plan carefully.

Meng Lingge was unaware that as soon as the news of her leaving the capital spread, she was already being watched. She originally thought that no matter how unwilling Xiao Songyan was, he would only continue to plot against Meng Xiyao, so she instructed her third sister to bring enough guards and try to go out as little as possible.

Little did she expect that Xiao Songyan, blinded by lust, harbored the same ill intentions towards her.

Meng Lingge had no idea what Xiao Songyan was thinking, and she had never even considered the other person who harbored ill intentions towards her.

Princess Qiongxiao's Residence.

Princess Qiongxiao leaned against the warm nanmu couch, her black hair cascading down, her single eye gazing at her with a seductive charm.

Two handsome men knelt behind her, one massaging her shoulders and the other massaging her calves.

Princess Qiongxiao was dressed lightly, while two handsome men were shirtless.

She stretched out her slender, jade-like hand, and immediately a handsome man with downcast eyes stepped forward, held her hand in his palm, took out a jar of skin cream, and gently applied it to her.

The man was dressed conservatively, in a blue robe and black boots, exuding a natural air of elegance.

The man's movements were very gentle, and he applied the product with great focus, as if he were holding not a woman's hand, but the face of a beautiful woman.

“Indeed. Your skills have been getting better and better lately. Compared to the other gentlemen in my household, you are worlds apart.”

Princess Qiongxiao had a delicate face, but she was over forty years old, and her skin was slightly loose, with fine lines that could not be hidden at the corners of her eyes.

Her voice was slightly hoarse, low and melodious.

The man called Anlang raised his head, his deep, fox-like eyes sparkling with affection.

It was Guan Yi'an who was rescued from prison by Princess Qiongxiao.

He smiled slightly, his hands continuing their work.

"Your Highness is too kind; it is all thanks to Your Highness's excellent teaching."

Princess Qiongxiao smiled charmingly, grasped Guan Yi'an's wrist with her jade hand, and slowly sat up with his help. The two handsome men kneeling behind her also hurriedly adjusted their positions and carefully moved behind her to gently massage her shoulders and back.

"Have you thought it all through?" Princess Qiongxiao asked, and before Guan Yi'an could reply, she looked at a pretty maid waiting quietly at the door, "Han Cui, do you agree too?"

Upon hearing this, the maid named Han Cui walked to Guan Yi'an's side, knelt down before Princess Qiongxiao, and said, "This servant only asks that all of Young Master Guan's wishes be fulfilled. Where he wants to go or who he wants to be with, this servant will not interfere."

Princess Qiongxiao said solemnly, "Han Cui, I saved An Lang because of you. You are his true savior. If you say no, I will not let him leave."

Princess Qiongxiao's residence was filled with guards and favored male servants, but very few maids, fewer than five in total. Among them, the one she trusted and liked the most was Han Cui, who stood before her.

Han Cui's original name was Zhou Sanya. She was sold into the palace by her parents. When Princess Qiongxiao first saw her, she was being bullied by other palace maids. Her frail body was stripped of its clothes and she was kneeling in the snow. The scene reminded Princess Qiongxiao of the humiliation she had suffered in Shuanghua Kingdom. Overwhelmed with pity, she begged the emperor to take Han Cui away.

After being brought to the mansion, Princess Qiongxiao personally renamed her Han Cui.

After that, Han Cui stayed by her side. Every time she made love with her lover, Han Cui would serve her bath. Over time, Han Cui became her number one maid.

About three months ago, Han Cui cried for the first time in front of Princess Qiongxiao, begging her to save Guan Yi'an.

After Princess Qiongxiao's patient questioning, Han Cui finally revealed her connection with Guan Yi'an.

She and Guan Yi'an were neighbors in the countryside. Once, she was kicked out of her home by her parents for being slow at doing things. She went three days without food or water and almost starved to death. It was Guan Yi'an who gave her a bowl of rice, which saved her life. She has always remembered this kindness and has always kept track of her benefactor's news.

Previously, when Guan Yi'an passed the imperial examination with top honors and became a high-ranking official, she did not have the courage to disturb him. It was not until Guan Yi'an was imprisoned and in danger of losing his life that she became anxious and begged Princess Qiongxiao, who had always treated her kindly, to lend a helping hand.

Princess Qiongxiao had not paid attention to court affairs for several years, but she could always see her stubborn and pitiful self in Han Cui. Although she learned that Guan Yi'an had a bad reputation, she still agreed to the matter out of pity for Han Cui.

After Princess Qiongxiao brought Guan Yi'an back to her residence, she originally intended to arrange for Guan Yi'an to marry Han Cui and live in a small courtyard in the princess's residence, which would be a perfect ending for her past self.

However, both Guan Yi'an and Han Cui expressed that they had no intention of getting married for the time being. Princess Qiongxiao thought that since the two had not seen each other for many years, it would be difficult to accept getting married so suddenly, so she thought that it would be fine to wait a while.

As a result, Guan Yi'an learned everything on his own. Princess Qiongxiao did not give him any instructions, but he studied diligently and mastered the skills of those male concubines. His ability to serve others was unparalleled.

Han Cui did not object to this, and Princess Qiongxiao took it as Guan Yi'an repaying a life-saving debt, letting him try to please her in every way. She had countless handsome men in her household, and it would only be a matter of snapping her fingers if she wanted Guan Yi'an to offer himself to her. However, thinking of Han Cui, Princess Qiongxiao had not yet taken Guan Yi'an to the final step.

Princess Qiongxiao originally envisioned only two paths for Guan Yi'an: either Guan Yi'an would marry Han Cui, or he would become her true male concubine, and in the end, he would spend the rest of his life in the princess's mansion.

Guan Yi'an clearly didn't think that way, especially after learning that Princess Qiongxiao had a master who could change people's skin, he had repeatedly expressed his desire to leave the princess's residence.

Han Cui remained calm as she kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I saved Young Master Guan not because I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him, but because I hoped that my benefactor could be safe and happy. Now that he is leaving, I am willing to let go. Please, Your Highness, save him to the end. Please ask Master Fu to give Young Master Guan a new face, grant him a legitimate identity, and set him free."

Old Fu was a female doctor whom Princess Qiongxiao had found from the common people. She was said to be there to treat Princess Qiongxiao's health, but in reality, she had never treated any patients or prescribed any medicine.

Only a few people closest to Princess Qiongxiao knew that Master Fu only knew one particular skill.

That is, face swapping.
