When Leng Qingning and the little dragon cat finished investigating the formation at Shulan Courtyard and rushed back to their room, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the room.
She couldn't help but hide in the corner and cry secretly while observing that person.
She saw the woman in black who had looked at her unkindly during the day and was captured with her, walking stealthily towards the incense burner beside her bed.
The quilt on the bed was bulging, and the woman was sleeping soundly on her side.
The woman in black looked at the woman on the bed with resentment, took out a packet of medicine powder and quietly added it into the incense burner, then crouched down and left quietly.
Little did she know that all of this was seen by Leng Qingning who had just returned. She was in such a hurry that she didn't notice that the woman on the bed was not her target at all.
Leng Qingning looked at the incense burner with added ingredients and fell into deep thought. She didn't seem to have offended this woman, so why would she give her this destructive grass that could silently destroy a person's cultivation and disfigurement?
She thought for a moment and did not remove the spices inside. Instead, she took a detoxification pill. Naturally, the medicinal effect of the destruction grass had no effect on her.
Then she drew a few strokes on her face, and a few conspicuous red pimples appeared on her originally stunning face, and her delicate and fair skin became a little dull.
The face is still the same, but it looks much worse overall.
[Host, your disguise isn't good enough. Someone with a higher level of cultivation can still see through it. Do you want me to help you?]
"Okay."
With the help of the system, Leng Qingning looked at the extremely realistic face with red pimples with great satisfaction.
Leng Qingning carried the unconscious maid back to her own bed, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next day.
“Ahhhhhhhh!——”
"Your face! How did your face become like this???"
When a maid saw Leng Qingning yawning and pushing open the door bored, she dropped the bucket in her hand in shock, and a shocking scream rang out in the entire attic.
A group of maids were startled by the sound and ran out.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Oh my God, Miss Leng, why did your face become like this?"
I never thought that Leng Qingning's beautiful face would be covered with several very obvious red pimples, and her complexion looked a lot darker.
"Oh my god, if the king saw your face like this, he would be displeased!"
Although the maidservant seemed to be thinking about her in her words, her eyes were actually full of gloating.
Leng Qingning covered her cheeks in feigned panic, "How could this happen? My face was fine yesterday!"
She covered her cheeks in panic, slammed the door, and refused to come out no matter how they called her.
The few maids who stayed behind looked at each other.
"What should I do? Should I tell the king?"
"Oh~ If she gets too proud, wasn't she very noble yesterday? If the king sees her like this, he will definitely dislike her." A black-clothed maid holding tea looked at the closed door, with a look of pride on her face.
Shiyin couldn't help but frown when she looked at the maid in black. This woman was so vicious and had a strong purpose towards the king. She also had such strong malice towards everyone around her. It would not be appropriate to keep her with the king.
We have to find a way to remind the king to send her away.
"What are you all doing here? Don't you have your own things to do? Hurry up and get to work." Seeing Shiyin speak, the servants pouted and reluctantly busy themselves with the things at hand.
Lu Ping looked at Shi Yin's back with a cold gaze, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark.
Leng Qingning returned to the room and lay leisurely on the bed. The system projected a topographic map of the palace into her mind.
As for Shi Qing, he was drinking when a picture appeared in front of him. The woman in the picture was resting on the bed with her legs crossed, bored.
From the picture, we can vaguely see that the woman should be beautiful. It's a pity that she has several very obvious red pimples on her face, which abruptly destroys this beauty.
Shi Qing frowned.
"Come here"
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" The maid came hurriedly from outside.
"What happened? Why did her face become like this?"
The maid looked at the woman in the picture in surprise. She didn't expect that the king was so concerned about this woman and was personally observing her every move.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know anything about this, but I heard from some of my sisters that Miss Leng's face was fine last night, but when she woke up this morning, she found that her face had become like this."
"May I have your name?"
Looking at the maid kneeling on the ground nervously, Shi Qing's face suddenly showed a sinister look.
"Slave...slave Jinse"
"Okay, that's really great. Normally, I would turn a blind eye to your little tricks, but I never thought you would actually reach out to my people."
Jinse was so frightened that her face turned pale and she knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"Please spare my life, my king. I am innocent and know nothing about it!"
"You live under the same roof with her, yet you don't know anything?" Jinse was trembling with fear, her little face pale.
"Were there any suspicious people coming in or out last night?" Shi Qing glanced at her with his narrow eyes. Jinse's whole body tensed up and her heart was beating wildly.
He began to think about it, wondering whether this was unintentional or intentional.
Shi Qing couldn't help but look at the woman with her legs crossed on the screen. You'd better not let me catch you, otherwise I will never let you off easily.
"Your Majesty, no..."
Shi Qing was also frightened by the sinister look that flashed across his face.
She felt guilty. For some reason, she slept very deeply last night and seemed to smell a faint fragrance.
"Alright, you can leave now. I will go there myself."
Jinse was shocked and hurried to follow.
In the idle courtyard, a group of maids sat together and chatted quietly.
"What do you think the king will do to her now that her face is ruined?"
"What else can we do? Such an ugly freak should naturally be thrown into menial work. Who can eat with a face like that?"
"It's not good for us to talk about people behind their backs, right? What if her face gets better?"
"Look at her face, it's become like that, can it be healed?"
Lu Ping Wei, who was passing by, showed a smug look in her eyes when she heard this. She had added the grass of destruction into the incense burner.
Not to mention this face, even her cultivation would disappear completely without a sound.
"It's so lively. I didn't expect these servants in my palace like to gossip so much."
The maids who were gossiping were suddenly horrified, stiffened their bodies, and saluted the handsome man in purple.
“Your Majesty”
“Your Majesty”
"Everyone get up, where is she?"
The maids looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected that the king would pay so much attention to a maid.
