Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Gao Zilun snorted coldly and started drinking.
He Yanting, who was talking with Crown Prince Xiao Lingyu, paused and turned to look over.
For some unknown reason, the emperor had confined all the princes to their homes. The confinement period has not yet expired. If it were not for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would probably take several months for them to be released.
"I wonder if my father has calmed down." Xiao Lingyu smiled.
"Your Majesty's thoughts, your servants dare not speak rashly." He Yanting picked up the wine glass, the two looked at each other, and drank it all in one gulp.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to Minister of War yet. Have another drink."
He Yanting was not surprised that he was still well aware of the outside world even though he was under house arrest. He chuckled and said, "It's also because of her."
Xiao Lingyu smiled meaningfully.
He was about to say something when he saw a sudden commotion in the hall. Following their gaze, he saw Jiang Zhaorong and Jiang Jianjin slowly walking towards the door.
Jiang Zhaorong stood straight and upright like a cypress, and from a distance he seemed modest and gentle. Jiang Jianjin next to him was full of vigor and vitality, wearing black clothes and black hair, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, which made many women blush.
Behind them was Xu Youran, who was wearing a navy blue long dress without too many decorations, and looked noble. Jiang Sulan and Jiang Zhiyu stood on both sides of her, wearing the same color but giving off different feelings.
Jiang Sulan had gentle features, willow-shaped eyebrows, and clear eyes. Xiao Siyuan hadn't seen her for such a long time that he was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Zhiyu was much more capable. Her face was extremely bright, as beautiful as a lotus, with slightly raised eyes and red lips. Anyone who looked at her would be startled.
At such a young age, he looks like this...
Behind them was Song Shiwei. She was wearing a light blue long dress, as elegant as water. Normally, she would have attracted a lot of admiration, but compared with the gorgeous colors in front, her elegance seemed a little lacking.
Seeing the changes in everyone's eyes, Song Shiwei almost bit her silver teeth to pieces.
Fortunately, compared to Jiang Zhiyu, she has a better relationship with people, and many noble ladies invited her over.
Song Shiwei felt secretly proud, but pretended to be embarrassed and called out, "Mother..."
Xu Youran naturally wouldn't stop her: "Go ahead."
I didn't know what had confused me before, but I actually treated her like my own daughter!
No matter what she does from now on, I won't care.
Song Shiwei walked quickly towards the ladies.
As soon as they sat down, Han Qiao, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, couldn't help but ask, "Shi Wei, can Zhiyu really cure any disease? Then my face..."
Han Qiao wore a veil to hide the scars on his face.
When she was young, she was playing and the maid beside her did not watch her, so she fell into a well and her face was disfigured. The Minister of Revenue's beloved daughter had searched for a miracle doctor for many years, but there was no improvement.
Now that she had heard this rumor, and considering that she had cured He Yanting's leg, Han Qiao naturally felt a little bit of anticipation.
Song Shiwei didn't expect to hear Jiang Zhiyu's name again after passing this side. Her face changed immediately, which scared Han Qiao.
The other ladies also exchanged glances.
Song Shiwei knew that she was being too obvious, so she tried her best to smile. "Yes, Sister Zhiyu can cure any disease. She can definitely help you restore your face to its original state, without even a trace of injury."
Han Qiao's eyes sparkled: "Really? It's so magical. Shi Wei, can you introduce me to it?"
Song Shiwei agreed without any hesitation.
Anyway, the rumors about Jiang Zhiyu are so widespread now. Even if she can't cure her, it's none of her business. It's her reputation that's being ruined, not her own.
If she is cured, it will further prove that she is a monster!
Seeing how readily she agreed, the other skeptical ladies couldn't help but feel tempted.
We are all girls, who doesn't want to be beautiful? This is a natural pursuit of beauty, just for ourselves, and has nothing to do with others.
So they all spoke up, wanting Song Shiwei to introduce them.
"Hmph," Hu Yue snorted coldly, "Have you all forgotten what the Third Miss's reputation was before? Her medical skills? I think she's just deceiving people. Otherwise, why is her eldest brother still seriously injured and hasn't shown up yet?"
This does make some sense. If she really had superb medical skills, Jiang Kangan should have been able to stand up long ago.
"Reputation? Reputation can be good or bad. It used to be what it was before, but now it's a pervert."
Hu Yue: “???”
The noble ladies were also startled and looked at Jiang Zhiyu who suddenly appeared in surprise.
Why is this person walking without making any sound?
Hu Yue was also stunned, her eyes full of vigilance. People who practiced martial arts should be more sensitive to people approaching, but she swore that she didn't feel anything at all just now.
Unless, this person's martial arts skills are better than hers!
"Did you hear everything?" Hu Yue's voice was a little embarrassed. After all, this was considered as being caught saying bad things about someone.
Jiang Zhiyu nodded.
[Alas, it's a pity that you are not my eldest brother's type. ]
[If you ask what love is, it makes people commit to each other for life and death! ]
[Big Brother saved Hu Yue back then, and Hu Yue has been deeply in love with him ever since. Such a generous girl, however, is quite cautious about relationships and can only protect him silently.]
When news of her eldest brother's serious injury reached her, Hu Yue also helped find a miracle doctor. After learning that her eldest brother might never be able to stand up again, she even begged her father to let her marry into the Prime Minister's residence to take care of him. Even after being sternly rejected, she didn't give up the idea and continued to watch over him silently.
What a nice girl!
Jiang Sulan was stunned. There was such a thing. Why did her father never mention it to them?
Does big brother know?
Seeing Hu Yue blushing, Jiang Zhiyu knew she was embarrassed and changed the subject considerately: "What do you want to talk to me about, sisters?"
【Beautiful sisters, please be kind. 】
Jiang Sulan: “…”
The ladies looked at each other, and after much deliberation, Han Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Sister Zhiyu, look at my face. Can you cure it?"
Her fingers trembled slightly as she touched the veil, swallowed, and took it off.
Even the ladies who had seen it many times couldn't help but look away.
Her chin was protruding, and her face was full of pits and scars, some of which were oozing pus and blood, making her look extremely disgusting.
Having not exposed his face for a long time, Han Qiao's lips trembled, and he closed his eyes, not daring to look anyone in the eye.
She was afraid. She was afraid of seeing other people's disgusted and disgusted eyes.
Until she felt the gentle touch of fingers on her face, Han Qiao suddenly opened her eyes.
In those clear eyes, there was no disgust, no sympathy, no regret, only calmness.
In her eyes, I am just an ordinary person.
"Sister Zhiyu..."
Her voice was trembling and choked, and she was almost crying.
